LANARK MAN DEAD; OPP SEEK HELP

steve.newman@metroland.com

Monday, Nov. 15 at about 7:15 p.m., Lanark County OPP officers responded to a 9-1-1 call at a residence on Montgomery Road in Drummond-North Elmsley Township.

Upon arrival, officers located 56-year-old Gerald Albert Madairie deceased with obvious signs of trauma. A post-mortem was scheduled for Nov. 16 at the Ottawa Hospital. Preliminary results indicate he died as a result of foul play.

The Lanark County Crime Unit, under the direction of the OPP Criminal Investigations Branch arrested and charged his wife, 47-year-old Lucey Rollande Paquette, with first- degree murder.

Paquette was taken to Perth court and will be remanded.

Anyone with information about this death is asked to call the Lanark County OPP at 613267-2626 or CrimeStoppers.

Dates of the preliminary hearing for Renfrew resident Dugald Jamieson, who faces first-degree murder charges following the death of Carol-Anne Brunet in May 2010, were confirmed in Renfrew provincial court Wednesday (Nov. 10).

However, the Crown Attorney’s office and Jamieson’s lawyer, Richard Morris of Langevin Morris Smith LLP, have also arranged for a focus hearing in Renfrew Dec. 8.

At that meeting with Justice Jane Wilson, the prosecution and defence will meet to more clearly identify issues and the number of witnesses to be called during the preliminary hearing.

The preliminary dates, also in Renfrew, remain unchanged.

They are Jan. 24, 25 and 27 as well as Feb. 1, 3 and 4, 2011.

Jamieson’s charges for first-degree murder and breach of probation are related to the death of 54-year-old Brunet, whose body was found early morning of May

31 in her Hall Avenue apartment in Renfrew.

Wednesday represented the first court appearance for Morris with Jamieson, after lawyer Sharon Anderson-Olmstead removed herself from the case in September.

Anderson-Olmstead said her withdrawal was necessary because of the large number of people she has represented, over the years, who could also appear as witnesses in the trial, thereby putting her in a position of potential conflict of interest.

Jamieson, 48, who remains in custody, appeared in court in handcuffs and wearing blue jeans and a blue and white-striped shirt. Members of Brunet’s family were in the audience.

In discussions to determine the date of the focus hearing, Justice Wilson also determined there was no jurisdiction for the publication ban that was in place. The Crown Attorney’s office was represented by Crown Attorney John Pepper, but assistant Crown Attorney Peter Hageraats is handling the case.

Lime-treated septage applied to local hay fields Important step for Horton Township’s two-year-old pilot project steve.newman@metroland.com

There have been enough hiccups in Horton’s lime stabilization septage project that one more small hiccup seemed almost appropriate.

The long-awaited first applications of lime-treated septage happened Monday morning before a small handful of council and staff members, local residents, two Ministry of the Environment (MoE) officials, and two staff from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.

But actual applications met a small obstacle when the twowheel township tractor couldn’t do the first spreading without back-hoe assistance. Therefore, the crew reverted to Horton farmer Tom Reid’s own fourwheel tractor for the remainder of the job.

The eight applications were made on Reid’s own property a few hundred metres from Horton’s holding tanks for the limestabilization pilot project. Reid did the spreading by pulling the used liquid manure spreader the township purchased for the project.

A dozen or so people looked on when the treated septage was transferred from the holding tanks to the spreading machine, then spread on Reid’s low-cut hay fields.

Those doing the hookups included Councillor Dave Bennett, who chairs the township’s lime stabilization committee.

The manure spreader holds more than 2,000 gallons, thus the need for eight applications for about 16,000 gallons of treated septage.

In 2007, the provincial government indicated to Horton and municipalities across Ontario

that they’d need to find solutions for treating their septic waste, or risk losing the right to sell building permits.

Now it’s hoped this becomes one of a few pilot projects in the province that become options for other municipalities still without septage treatment facilities.

A few projects, which are underway, may prove workable for other Ontario municipalities.

They include geo-tubes in Bonnechere Valley, reed-bed treatment in Alfred and lagoon storage in the Peterborough area.

The lime-treated septage spread on Reid’s property Monday emitted practically no smell.

“I got down on my hands and knees to smell it,” said Horton lime stabilization committee member Bruce Golden.

“It just smells like grey water.”

There’s a bit of ammonia odour, said Michael Payne, the agriculture ministry’s nutrient management specialist, who attended the morning and afternoon applications.

FINAL REPORT NEXT FALL? Brian Dickman of the Ministry of the Environment, who was also present, says the pilot project’s final report may be finished by the fall of 2011. The project is scheduled to continue in the spring with more land applications of treated septage.

Following this week’s applications, the Province will test the well water of six residents in the vicinity and do additional tests of the treated septage spread on the fields. The same would be done following any additional applications in the spring.

Tests will be for soil Ph levels and for heavy metals, said Dick-

man.

If test results meet with the Province’s requirements, farmers may welcome the new technology with open arms.

After all, the area’s very acidic soil will almost assuredly benefit from the lime-treated septage, says Mayor Bob Johnston.

For years, said Johnston, farmers have used incredible amounts of lime to treat their soil and change its Ph levels for the better. MoE’s Dickman pointed out that the lime-treated septage will result in higher crop yields.

“I think today (Monday) shows the system works,” said Payne.

“It’s working well because the Councillor Dave Bennett (centre) and CAO Mackie McLaren of Horissues that people had identified ton Township hook up the hoses for transfer of the treated septage. It (namely odour) aren’t there.” was transferred from the holding tanks to the liquid manure spreader for spreading on Tom Reid’s farm property.

SLIGHT SMELL OF AMMONIA The slight ammonia smell is also a good indicator, said Payne.

“It’s a nitrogen source. It comes from the septage itself when the organic waste is broken down.”

Councillor Bob Kingsbury said he was pleased to witness the verdict on the treated septage’s smell.

“I think we’ve got it down,” added Johnston.

“I think it’s a workable entity and the answer for Horton Township.”

Chief administrative officerclerk Mackie McLaren echoed similar sentiments.

“It was a relief today (Monday) to see it all work and come together, to prove to everyone, including myself, that it succeeded,” he said.

The first applications of treated septage come after several delays over the last two and a half years.

A streamlined approval process didn’t happen, as promised,

Ladies give a hoot for hospice Inaugural event raises more than $7,000 JO-ANNE DOWDALL-BROWN What a night for the ladies of Renfrew and area!

The positive energy in the room made a very successful inaugural event which will be held next year on Nov. 12, 2011.

A special thank-you to the committee and Mulvihill Drug Mart for being the presenting sponsor.

We had so many amazing other sponsors, too.

The OPP officers who volunteered their time to escort ladies to their tables and serve our food, were certainly a hit.

Detachment Commander Colin Slight’s surprise appearance singing on the stage was awesome.

Mark Papousek did a wonderful job as emcee and he sure enjoyed meeting up with some old friends.

The Yellow Brick Road Band and Tina

Turner were an amazing hit and they will be back next year for an encore. They ensured us that will change it up some to keep up with the energy of the ladies in the room.

The table decorations were beyond words and I can only imagine what we might see next year.

Congratulations to the winning table of Sue Wilson, Mitch Reinhart, Julia Boudreau, Colleen Gibbons, Patti Edwards and Judy Bennett for their ChristmasNew Year’s theme with a chocolate fountain.

The dinner served by Margi was truly delicious and enjoyed by all. A special thank-you to Mac Wilson for his donation of $1,000 to the night.

For our first time out, we made just over $7,000 for Hospice Renfrew. We are so blessed to live in an area that understands that giving starts at home.

Davidson Hearing Aid Centres A SOUND DECISIONTM

Startling find by TWD crew on Highway 132, man airlifted to hospital STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

It was a startling discovery by TWD road crew workers Alex Wright of Dacre and Gerard Lorbetski of Renfrew.

After starting their day shift at 7 a.m. Wednesday, they came across broken guide posts on Highway 132, just east of Dacre, near Merchand Road.

Looking down off the road, they found a 44-year-old Windsor man seriously injured and trapped in his 2004 Ford Escape.

“All we saw were two guide posts damaged, so we investigated,” said Wright, who works for the company that does road maintenance for the Ontario Ministry of Transportation.

“Lots of times we see posts broken, but you don’t see a man trapped in a vehicle.”

Upon finding the man about 7:20 a.m., the crew called its radio room in Bancroft. They, in turn, dialed 9-1-1.

While on the scene, another passer-by, a nurse headed to work at Renfrew Victoria Hospital, stayed on the scene with the injured driver.

The man was airlifted to an Ottawa hospital Wednesday morning after being extricated from the Ford Escape by the Renfrew Fire Department.

The OPP says the driver was westbound on Highway 132 when he entered the east ditch.The man was apparently trapped in his car for several hours before he was found. Traffic was rerouted from Highway 132 through Mount St. Patrick.

Traffic was reduced to one lane until late Wednesday afternoon.

It’s OPP RIDE check time Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (RIDE) spot checks will soon be seen frequently in Renfrew and surrounding areas.

OPP officers are working hard to reduce fatalities and injuries on highways in Ontario and RIDE spot checks are an effective tool.

During the Christmas holiday season there are traditionally more parties and celebrating where alcohol is served.

If you are a driver attending one of these celebrations, please abstain or reduce your alcohol intake.

Driving in Ontario is a privilege that comes with much responsibility, most importantly to drive sober.

Expect to see OPP officers at RIDE spot checks until Jan. 1 frequently and in unexpected areas.

If you are driving sober you have nothing to worry about.

Collision closes Philip Shrive Bridge STEVE NEWMAN

steve,newman@metroland.com

A potential Highway 17 calamity was averted when two transport trucks collided early Wednesday morning on Philip Shrive Bridge, near Renfrew.

Baljinder Gill of Winnipeg, who was hauling two tankers of fuel, hit another truck that had been waiting for a red light at the bridge. A construction project has been underway for months

on the bridge. One of the drivers, Maurice Forget of Ottawa, was driving a Grant Transport Ltd. truck out of New Liskeard, Ont. He told police he was parked when he saw Gill’s truck advancing from behind and apparently about to rear-end his vehicle.

Forget says he then proceeded through the red light to avoid being hit. Forget swerved away from the oncoming truck, but couldn’t avoid contact.

Gill is charged with careless driving and failing to maintain his log book.

Gill was driving for Mitrux Services Ltd. of Abbotsford, B.C. The OPP say there were minor injuries sustained, but the accident could have been much worse. A major collision could have resulted in a disastrous explosion, said Const. Janice Sawbridge of the Renfrew OPP detachment. The investigating officer is Const. Pierre Bourgois.

Council throws unanimous support behind Hwy. 17 four-laning SATURDAY, NOV. 20 LUCY HASS lucy.hass@metroland.com

Renfrew council has thrown its unanimous support behind the fourlaning of Highway 17 to Renfrew.

The councillors agreed, at council’s last regular meeting Nov. 8, that Highway 17 is the town’s transportation priority, and focus should be on it.

“The county was very, very disap-

pointed when it saw our area completely dropped off their (the provincial government’s) five-year plan,” Reeve Audrey Green told council’s last regular meeting.

Aside from supporting a County of Renfrew resolution, council crafted its own resolution to add weight to the call for action.

In that resolution the town describes the Highway 17/417 corridor as a vital economic link for the county, provid-

ing for the transportation of goods and services to interprovincial and international destinations, “as well as tangible benefits to our tourism and recreation industries.”

Council asks the provincial government to “designate the extension of Highway 417 from the Town of Arnprior to the Town of Renfrew as a priority project and that it be reflected in the province’s five-year Southeastern Region Capital Program.”

From the combine, soybeans are prepared for transport to the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. Mercury photos by Peter Clark

It’s harvest time for the Foodgrains Bank LYNN CLELLAND On land donated by the Arie van Lindenberg family in Arie’s memory in Admaston-Bromley Township, the Foodgrains Committee has raised a crop of soybeans whose purchase price will be forwarded to the Canadian Foodgrains Bank.

In turn, the funds provided by the group of local farmers will be used to send food to countries around the world where the people are suffering from drought, natural disasters and war.

Starting in 1996, local farmers have participated in this Christian response to world hunger.

Many of the input costs are donated by local agri-businesses and churches. Individuals are also encouraged to make donations.

The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) matches all contributions 4:1, so even a small donation can go a long way to alleviate hunger.

For more information or to make a donation, call 613-4326317.

Focus on regional tourism Tourism is a vital part of the Renfrew and area economy, and next Monday industry stakeholders will get their first glimpse at destination development initiatives across the region.

Region 11, now known as Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization, has received a two-year, $1.75 million commitment from the province for tourism initiatives. A transition board of volunteers has been meeting weekly to set a strategy for use of those dollars, and that plan will be revealed between 2:30 and 4:30 p.m. at the Best Western Inn in Pembroke.

For more information, contact the Ottawa Valley Tourist Association at 1-800-757-6580.

OPINION EDITORIAL

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Dear Santa...

Two politicians; two distinct styles

ids, it’s time to get writing.

In just over two weeks, Canada Post employees will be walking the route at the Renfrew Lions Club 50th anniversary Santa Claus parade to collect letters to Santa.

The Saturday, Dec. 4 parade begins at 1 p.m. from Our Lady of Fatima School, then proceeds down main street to the Renfrew Armouries. Children are invited to bring their letters – addressed to Santa Claus, North Pole, HOH OHO – to the parade.

Canada Post says the letters will be forwarded to Santa’s postal elves for reply, so young writers should remember to include their full return address.

In its 29th year, the Santa letter-writing program is Canada Post’s leading initiative in support of literacy. Each year more than 11,000 current and retired employees of Canada Post volunteer their time to answer letters. Last year volunteers helped Santa answer more than one million letters from children across Canada and around the world.

Watters Brothers get big shot tomorrow Tomorrow night is a big night for the Watters Brothers as they face off against four other bands in the Live 88.5 FM Big Money Shot.

Muddy and Dan challenge fellow finalists My Favourite Tragedy, The Balconies, Autumns Canon and Wise Young & King on the LIVE Lounge main stage at the Capital Music Hall in Ottawa for the big $300,000 prize.

Good luck from your friends in Douglas, the ’Frew and across the region.

While CBC Radio remains my station of choice for all things news-related, in the course of following the Watters Brothers’ progress on the Big Money Shot stage, I’ve stumbled upon a treasure of alternative rock.

Of course, Valley Heritage Radio 98.7 remains my weekend touchstone at the cottage, reminding me of my precious rural roots.

Songs like Big Rock Candy Mountain and Mac Beattie’s My Renfrew County Home harken back to a much simpler time and place, and remind-

LUCY HASS MISCELLANY ing me of my father’s great love of music. Because of him, I actually know most of the words.

Now Ottawa’s alternative station allows me to swing to the other end of the musical pendulum with some truly great rock tunes.

When songs pop up on the play-list like Stereo by The Watchmen or Wheat Kings by The Tragically Hip, I can’t help but stop what I’m doing, lean back and just listen.

Alternative rock may not be everyone’s music of choice, but the beauty is that the choice is there.

Surfing television, radio and the Internet is the reality of these modern, borderless times.

My own personal taste in music swings from blues and folk, to country

and rock. Plus a new personal favourite I found in the search for more modern Oktoberfest fare – the German reggae-hip-hop artist Peter Fox. Yes, one day I’m lost in Mark Knopfler’s masterful guitar solo on Dire Straits’ Brothers in Arms; the next I’m lifted by the majestic Van Morrison/Chieftains collaboration on the American folk ballad Shenandoah.

And every song seems inextricably linked to a time and place; stamped like a tattoo on my memory.

This past Saturday night I caught local band Stuffed Buffalo at Finnigan’s Roadhouse in Renfrew. It was a real treat.

And when gifted Renfrew musician John Steele joined the young musicians on the stage, I was reminded how timeless, and ageless, music really is.

Yes, there’s a big ol’ world of music out there and room for everyone.

As Canadian rocker Neil Young advised – “Keep on rockin’ in the free world.”

To the editor: I found the two political articles in the Renfrew Mercury Nov. 11 very telling about the state of politics in Canada. The outlook of the two Conservative parties, the National and Provincial seem to be very differing in their approach to the voters.

The interview with Provincial PC leader Tim Hudak was very bright and positive. Mr. Hudak approached the many issues dealing with Eastern Ontario is a positive manner. Even when criticizing the current Liberal government his tone seemed objective and fair.

Opposite to this, was the view of our federal representative, Cheryl Gallant and her negative approach to seeking voter support. Ms. Gallant in what was stated to be a ‘harshly-worded’ news release, warned of job losses both locally and nationally if the contract to purchase the F-35 Strike Fighter was cancelled. It accuses the Opposition parties of playing politics with jobs and the well being of Canadian families. She would do well to recall that it was her Conservative Party which single-handedly killed the Canadian aerospace industry with the cancellation of the Avro Arrow in 1958.

Prior to, and since that time every purchase of American designed aircraft has had both a significant Canadian manufacturing element and a Canadian maintenance element. This starting with the CF-86 Sabre and the CF-104 Starfighter, in 1948 and 1958 respectively.

DeHavilland and Canadair built the complete planes under license and built planes and parts for export to countries such as South Africa, Columbia and the then West German Luftwaffe. We have had Canadian based components and repairs for everything from all our helicopters to our Hercules to our CF-18s.

Whatever Canadian political party was in power at the time of any major weapons procurement undertaking, has always sought to include, and has successfully included the creation of Canadian jobs in the contact.

This recent news release is nothing but fearmongering and sabre rattling. It is unfortunate that Ms. Gallant continues to dance around the actual facts of so many issues with carefully choreographed press releases which appear to be from the Conservative Party Offices or the Prime Minister’s Office and is never available to speak on her own accord.

In his interview, Mr. Hudak alludes to avoiding being swayed or connected to the ideology of the social conservative movement in the United States. It is unfortunate that Ms. Gallant has seemingly so whole-heartedly embraced the negative campaigning practices so prevalent in American politics.

The Renfrew Mercury asks that all letters to the editor please honour a maximum 500-word count.

Leader Tim Hudak offers nothing new To the editor: The recent visit to Ottawa by ‘Progressive’ Conservative leader, Tim Hudak, covered by The Renfrew Mercury, wasn’t very inspiring for all conservatives. Trotting out the overused election vow, “it’s time for a change� is all well and good if you’re actually offering ideas that are different from your opponent’s policies but so far, this voter can’t see any tangible differences.

He talks about lower taxes and smaller government but forgets that the PC’s were just as bad as the NDP/ Liberals in their spending habits. He’s long on talk and short on details. Is he going to rescind the eco/enviro fees, HST, hydro hikes and cancel most of the regulations that keep government too big and overbearing? What about the out-of-control school board curriculum? More of the same?

What he is doing by sitting on the

fence and avoiding the issues is creating another situation for voters to make the regrettable mistake of voting in the NDP again. Remember Bob Rae days?

The only thing Hudak seems to be definite about is that he won’t listen to social conservatives and old white, angry voters which means he’s going to serve his friends in the Toronto area (like previous PC parties) and maybe toss us rural folks a crumb now and then. Don’t hold your breath Mr. Yakabuski.

Most of the Liberal policies punish us rurals but it was previous PC regulations and policies that started us on this road. If the PC’s want to maintain any credibility they’re going to have to do an about-face that includes social conservatives, real fiscal discipline, rural power for our MPPs and get rid of all the special interest group fund-

ing and support. It’s simply not enough for the party leaders to skip out here, make a short speech and never hear from them again until they’re dropping another regulation or tax on us.

This coming election is a shoe-in for any party opposing the liberals. Only a complete moron couldn’t defeat the fee/tax/control McGuinty Liberals in next year’s provincial election. Neverthe-less we need to hold Hudak and the PC’s feet in the fire so we don’t get the same revolving door of red party politics while real conservative values and rural concerns are lost the moment they walk into Queens Park.

This conservative voter is looking for a party with a leader who has strong moral/fiscal values and isn’t afraid to put them in writing. So far we haven’t seen any in the Conservative camp.

Dissatisfied with the way municipal election run To the editor: I am writing to express dissatisfaction with the way the municipal elections were handled this year.

Although the town was very pleased with the level of internet voting that happened in the first week of voting, the system leaves a lot to be improved.

I received a letter with a PIN number to vote by phone or internet. However, I took the trouble to go into to the town office to make sure that I was on the voters’ list.

I was just lucky that I happened to read the little information that was in The Renfrew Mercury. Some people got traditional voters’ cards in the mail; however, most people did not get

that or the letter that I got with a PIN number. Furthermore, the new procedures in voting as well as the time and place of traditional voting were not explained thoroughly even in The Renfrew Mercury as in past years. Maybe we should bring back the old-fashioned enumeration system with voters’ cards for accuracy. Lastly, I talked to several people who went into the town offices to vote who said things were very disorganized e.g. the place voters were to be received for identification did not have proper signage, and the town did not have enough staff to handle the number of voters.

Moreover electronic voting is not for everyone. Renfrew has a lot of senior

citizens and low-income people who are not computer literate or cannot afford a computer. Consideration should be given to everyone. We should not have trouble voting because we are not into the new technologies.

Lastly, the candidates did not make their ideas known as in previous years. Not everyone goes to all-candidate meetings. I know people who did not vote because they did not know the candidates.

I hope these suggestions will help improve municipal voting procedures in future years.

Yours truly, Johanna Mathieu Renfrew

LITERATURE

So much evil, so much hope

See next week’s Mercury feature about Dave Mullington’s new book on Charlotte Whitton

Renfrew native Brent La Porte’s first book: Hope Burned STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

What do you get when you combine a would-be author, a police officer, a father and a mixed-messages childhood?

Well, in the case of Brent LaPorte, an author with his first book who grew up in Renfrew where one of his teachers suggested he’d probably make a better police officer than an author.

The cover is a hint at the sometimes unsettling content in the book, Hope Burned, as the reader sees the darkened insides of a barn, some light creeping in, and a channel of light that reveals a bird floating in the nearby sky.

If that’s not a hint, the author quickly informs the reader that death is integral to the plot.

“I’m not really much of a letter writer,” says the opening paragraph, “but I felt it was important to explain to you exactly why, today, I killed both my father and grandfather.”

If that’s not chilling, later pages will be as La Porte introduces a young lad who escapes a farm’s unusual and chilling set of circumstances, but is fortunate to run into other caring and concerned people.

As in anything, you want people to feel something when reading your book, says La Porte.

Suggestions come early that the reader is in for an unusual ride. On the first two pages of the 174-page novel he writes: “When I lived in this house, I was never truly alive. Being alive means you’re capable of making a choice and have some sort of effect on your surroundings … When you’re alive you choose to take deep breaths on your own. Simply existing means being able to breathe only because someone else has allowed you to take a breath.”

Hope Burned is among many novels La Porte has started, but this is his first published work.

“It’s been a lifelong dream, but I’ve always written quietly to myself.”

This quiet pursuit developed one day, while on a business trip to the United States, where he heard the chilling story of a murder in the Chicago area. Sitting in the airport, he and business associates won-

Author Brent La Porte

The cover of Hope Burned dered outloud how someone could commit such a crime.

The story, says La Porte, proved to be the seeds for a story he’d been massaging for some time. Three years later, he met publisher Michael Holmes through a friend and dared mentioned he had a short story that might be of interest.

Holmes soon got back to him and said he wanted more. Despite worries, as cautioned by his readings in Writers Digest, that the editing process could be brutal, it was not.

The most brutal part lies in the plot.

“The act itself seemed to be insane,” says La Porte.

“How could someone rationalize this act, and I did through this book, or I feel I did.”

It’s a brutal enough he won’t let his 13-year-old daughter read it, although she has showed the book to her school teacher. “It isn’t recommended for early teens,” says La Porte, 41.

“The most difficult part was trying to write as someone who’s not necessarily acting in a rationale manner and going into some very dark places … and making the dialogue believable. The story has to be believable.”

Helping him do that was a nine-year career as

a member of the Durham Regional Police Service, until 1999.

Several years ago, he wondered if he should be a writer or police officer, to which a Renfrew Collegiate Institute teacher wrote in his journal: “You would make a very good police officer.”

The choice was a good one, he says, as he worked as a scenes of crime officer, or SOCO, who photograph and gathered evidence at the site of suicides and bad car accidents.

But the job took its toll.

“It was hard to sit around the dinner table and describe your day,” says LaPorte, who lives with his wife and two children in the Oshawa suburb of Courtice.

But in his free time he began another part-time job, which led to a fulltime job and retirement from the police force. That history and up-and-down experiences growing up in Renfrew and area have unquestionably helped him write the book, he says.

CALABOGIE GRANDPARENTS Life as a child was mixed, he says. His father, who died when he was 10, was abusive, but his mother, Heather (nee Mulvihill), was in inspiration for bringing books, her belief in God and a strong work ethic into the family environment for her five children. Later, at 15, La Porte moved in with grandparents Frankie and Molly Mulvihill in Calabogie.

That home gave him a whole new perspective.

He recalls sitting at the kitchen table listening, with Grampa Frankie, to Mary Cook’s radio stories in the morning or to grampa’s own stories. In the evenings, once grampa had gone to bed, there was time with grandma, over a cup of tea. “It was wonderful,” says LaPorte. “It was a safe place after living in an abusive environment with my dad.”

In telling the story of Hope Burned, La Porte says he’s not telling his own story, but connecting to it, knowing his father was a victim of mental illness, something that was difficult for a child to deal with.

Hope Burned was launched this month by ECW Press.

Arnprior Choir to ‘Sing Noel’ Dec. 12

CREATING A HOLIDAY TRADITION The St. Francis Xavier Catholic Women’s League tea and talent sale Nov. 13 was a great success. It is a holiday tradition for many, including these four generations, from left, back row Stephanie Froats, Lucille Leveck-Kalimeris, Fran Bennett and Lesley Chapman; and front row Gracie Froats, Emily Froats and Fiona Chapman. Below, Emily Saumure sells some treats to Father Peter Proulx. There was home baking, deli, books, crafts and collectibles. The ladies in the tea room were kept busy serving coffee and tea along with delicious sandwiches and squares. Draw winners were Donna Nolan (hockey tickets), Brian McLaughlin (50/50 draw), Kristy Campbell (platter, table runner and four placemats), Emily Saumure (children’s tapes) and Patricia Maloney and Carol Sulpher (tea room Picket Fence gift certificates).

The Arnprior Community Choir will introduce some special guest performers when it holds its annual Christmas Concert Sunday, Dec. 12. Four Strong Winds, an inspiring vocal quartet from St. Joseph’s Catholic High School in Renfrew, will perform at the 2 p.m. concert in Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church.

Under the musical direction of Kevin McSheffrey, the four talented young women of Four Strong Winds will present a program that will fill the church with Christmas cheer.

The Arnprior Community Choir, which is celebrating its 20th musical season, will also perform seasonal and Christmas gospel favourites. The choir promises a few fun surprises and a wonderful reception featuring holiday goodies. Several songs will feature flute accompaniment by choir member Louise van den Berg. She has been travelling from Manotick to sing with the choir for many years and her talented instrumental playing is an asset to the concert.

With more than 50 members from Arnprior, Almonte, Renfrew, Pakenham, Kinburn and Manotick, the Arnprior Community Choir is thriving and creating wonderful choral music together.

Sing Noel is an annual tradition in Arnprior and kicks off the Christmas season in town with festive, holiday music.

Tickets can be purchased at the Arnprior Book Shop, from any choir member or at the door for $15 or $10 for children under 12.

The first snowfall of the year has come and gone, and here at The Salvation Army our thoughts are turning to the Annual Christmas Cheer Kettle Campaign.

Starting on Wednesday, November 24th, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. our Christmas Kettles will be out in the Wal-Mart Super Store Renfrew, and the Arnprior Shopping Center.

Give generously this season as we bring hope and happiness to the less fortunate in our Communities, not only at Christmas but throughout the year.

Sincerely, Glenn Wirachowsky Pastor/The Salvation Army

Gallant report online

In her November Report from Parliament, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant outlines actions her government will seek to take over the coming weeks.

“Since 2006, our government has been focussing on making our streets

and communities safer by fixing a criminal justice system that seems to favour criminals over the rights of victims,” she writes.

A news release from Gallant said Statistics Canada recently released its annual report on police-reported

crime, noting that 2.2 million Canadians reported a crime to police.

Raiders overcome huge deficit to capture senior girls hoops crown PETER CLARK

peter.clark@metroland.com

Overcoming a 26-13 half-time is quite an accomplishment in a football game, let alone with a basketball championship on the line.

That’s the deficit the Renfrew Collegiate Raiders faced in their Renfrew County senior girls hoops final with the Arnprior Redmen last Thursday afternoon at the Grant Gymnasium.

But before a fired-up crowd in the second half, the Raiders chipped away, and lo and behold, were on the upside of a dramatic comeback 34-29 when the last buzzer sounded.

“They never quit,” coach Vicki Wilson said of the Raiders.

“They battled back. The kids never quit. They showed a lot of mental toughness to come back.

One time offence, one time defence,” she added of each series of ball possessions over the second half.

“It’s the best group of kids we’ve ever had for character,” added coach Adam Noack.

“The way they battled back was just unbelievable. It’s a great way for the seniors (2010-11 graduating students) to end their high school basketball careers.”

Perhaps most amazing about the comeback was RCI’s holding the formidable Redmen opponent to just three points in the second half. The Redmen were draining shots for fun early in the first half and appeared poised to make it six consecutive Renfrew County titles.

The Raiders – who trailed by as many as 16 in the opening half – narrowed the deficit to 2821 through three quarters, and finally climbed even at 29 with less than five minutes remaining.

Maddie Kubiseski sank the first of two foul shots to put RCI ahead 30-29 before two free throws from Mae Donohue upped it to a three-point lead.

If the Raiders didn’t sense

victory then, they certainly did when Sarah Dougherty stuffed a rebound of her sister Caitlin Dougherty’s shot for two points with about a minute remaining.

Caitlin Dougherty led the way offensively with 16 points on the day. Donohue and Sarah Dougherty added six.

The Raiders next stop is La Salle Secondary School in Kingston, site of the Eastern Ontario (EOSSAA) senior girls basketball championship for AA schools, Nov. 17 and 18.

Jaguars bounce back with win of their own over rivals PETER CLARK

peter.clark@metroland.com

The St. Joseph’s Jaguars dropped a narrow 3-2 decision to the local rival Renfrew Collegiate Raiders in the final match of the 2010 Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association senior boys volleyball regular-season schedule.

But in the Renfrew County championship semifinal Nov. 11 in Petawawa, St. Joseph’s avenged that defeat by posting their own 3-2 win over RCI. However, nobody could beat the homestanding General Panet Panthers, who blanked the Jaguars 3-0 to claim the 2010 title.

EOSSAA HOOPS Both Jaguar girls basketball teams represented Renfrew County at Eastern Ontario Secondary School Athletic Association (EOSSAA) championships for A schools.

The Junior Jaguars were in Elgin at Rideau District High School Tuesday.

Although they went 0-and-2, coach Mark Valliquette said it was a good experience for the junior squad.

“It was a fun way to end the season,”

he noted of the Jaguars participation at EOSSAA. The Jaguars lost their first encounter 37-33 in a game that went right down to the final seconds.

“We were tied with the number-one ranked team with under a minute to play when they got a quick basket, which was the difference,” the coach observed.

“Our second game had no playoff implications and we came out a bit flat,” Valliquette added.

He was pleased with the spirit and never-quitting attitude the Jaguars showed as the game went on despite a 37-24 loss with little on the line.

The Junior Jaguars finished in third place in the 2010 regular season with a 7-and-2 record. They qualified for EOSSAA on the strength of an opening round quarterfinal triumph in the UOVHSAA playoffs, which left them as the only single A school standing.

Coach Valliquette said the team has a good number of girls coming back next season and is looking forward to the 2011 campaign.

The Senior Jaguars are hosting EOSSAA. Action got underway Wednesday at the high school gymnasium. The tournament continues today.

COLUMN

Give me five, and two points How much are they paying these guys?

After years of intense research, it has been concluded that in sports – and they use the National Basketball Association as the prime example – teams whose players high-five each other more often, are the most successful.

Did they ever stop to think that people tend to high-five each other more often when things are going well – a.k.a. winning?

I’m sure committee members were sitting in their room of no doors and no windows when someone astutely observed, “Hey look! The Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics high-five more than all other NBA teams.”

Too little, too late: Canada defeated Japan 18-0 at a Three Nations exhibition sledge hockey series in Rochester last week.

You know my first thought. If only they could have scored a couple of these goals last March in Vancouver?

Canada fell 3-1 to Japan in a game that cost our country its shot at the Paralympic sledge hockey gold medal.

Stunned by the defeat, Canada lost the bronze-medal match to Norway.

Implement the reverse two-point convert: I saw the end of the Atlanta-

PETER CLARK PETER’S PUTTERINGS Baltimore NFL game last Thursday.

The Falcons scored late to go up by five points, and went for the two-point convert in quest to make it seven.

However, a Ravens defender stepped in front of the pass. He would have returned it all the way, but the play was whistled dead. I say, if the defending team creates a turnover and takes it the distance, they should get the two points.

In this case, Baltimore would have pulled to within three points and a lastminute field goal could have tied the game. * * * The three coaches who have guided the Dallas Cowboys to Super Bowl championships are Tom Landry in 1971 and 1977, Jimmy Johnson back-to-back in 1992 and 1993, and Barry Switzer in 1995.

Since then, the Cowboys’ playoff track record hasn’t been very good.

And for this week: The Detroit Lions have now lost a record 25 consecutive games away from home. Where did they last win on the road?

QEPS tops at Admaston tourney PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

Admaston Public School hosted what will become an annual three-team flag-football tournament with fellow public schools Queen Elizabeth Eagles and Central Centurions.

Queen Elizabeth outlasted Admaston 6-5 in touchdowns en route to winning the championship. Admaston finished as the runner-up and Central third.

“All students had a great day and everyone was surprised by the high degree of skill and play exhibited by the students,” tournament organizer Scott Rubie of Admaston said.

He added that with the quality of the field at Admaston Public School, it’s good to see it put to use every year for this tournament.

Four novice wins CAROLYN DOUCETTE UOV Ringette Association

The Upper Ottawa Valley novice rec ringette team hosted West Ottawa and defeated the girls from the city twice, 9-5 and 6-5.

McKenna Richardson of Shawville hit the net four times with helpers from Christine Schwan of Cobden and Jordan Benedict of Pembroke. Alexandra Lennox of Renfrew got her first goal as well.

The Novice C team downed West Ottawa 8-4 and 7-6.

Jamie Broome, Abigail Schwan of Cobden and Renfrew’s Megan Bennett and Hannah Hubert helped the UOV offence in both wins.

The Petite B team was on the road where they lost games against Arnprior and Nepean.

Carissa Moore, Madison Stroud and Renee St. Cyr were among the goalgetters for UOV.

The Renfrew Atom Timberwolves defeated the West Carleton Warriors 6-1, Gananoque Islanders 3-2 and North Glengarry Stormont Braves 9-1 at the Regional Silver Stick hockey tournament in Pembroke on the weekend.

But the Wolves scoring went dry in a 5-0 setback to league rival and tournament host Pembroke Kings Sunday.

Carter Bleeks scored five goals in the tournament, including a hat trick for the Atom Wolves.

Reid Barber added four goals and Nicholas Crozier and Brendan Hill three. Braedon Reinert, Jared Burnette and Thomas Barber potted singles. Jayce Greer had a three-assist game. Luke Moran and Connery Campbell shared goaltending duties.

Crozier had both goals, but it wasn’t enough as the Wolves fell 4-2 to the Petawawa Patriots Sunday in Upper Ottawa Valley Hockey League regular season play.

The Atom Wolves host Pembroke Friday at 7:30 p.m.

Renfrew wins Ultimate challenge PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

The local side has earned bragging rights in the latest battle of the Renfrew-Arnprior rivalry.

Two teams of eight Ultimate Fitness clients from each of the two towns locked horns in the Boot Camp Games at the new Renfrew Ultimate Fitness facility located at 640 Barnet Blvd.

After the Oct. 30 completion of eight grueling events, the Ren-

frew squad emerged victorious.

“We held the Boot Camp Games to break in the new facility,” Sarah Leighton of Ultimate Fitness said. “We had one (games) in Arnprior last year.”

Events included push-ups, situps, burpees, dubs, T get-ups, barbell squat for reps, barbell clean and press, and a 500-metre row. Ultimate Fitness can be reached in Renfrew at 613-4338282, and 613-623-9726 in Arnprior, or at ufgyms.com.

The Scots arrived wild eyed….

OK, maybe bleary eyed, after having rampaged and pillaged up and down the Ottawa and St. Lawrence Valleys for the past eight days, ready to lay siege to the small but determined band that had taken up defensive positions at the Renfrew curling club.

Dressed to the kilt… err hilt, the Scots descended on the club with curling brooms brandishing and cries of good curling ringing out and threw themselves at the home club.

But the defences were holding the flanks as the squads led by Bill Bowles and James Cameron McGregor not only held fast but soon turned the tide and soundly thumped the invaders.

The middle was also holding on the right as Ed Lepack’s squad turned aside the reeling Scots. But to their left the crafty Renfrewshire folk had employed a different strategy, sending out creatures of magic disguised as three lady curlers and their Champion, David, and their spells had devastating effects.

The poor glassy-eyed Renfrew lads, overcome by the wiles of

these spirits soon succumbed and were overheard mumbling, “What’s happening” and “I can’t believe I just did that.”

But, despite the one success, the Scots soon sued for peace and offered tribute to the victors. And the Canadians, in their usual way, quickly accepted, brought out much drink and food and, when the Scots were fully restored, danced them on their way back to Ottawa to make their way home knowing that it was only time before they would return once again.

A big thank you goes out to Gert Brydges, Helen and Dwight Hayward, Charlie Ricard and all their many helpers that made this day so memorable for guests and hosts alike.

Thanks also to Dave Rowat and the other six musicians, also strangely named Dave Rowat, but better known as the Mixed Nuts, for their sweet tunes.

Oh, and the name of the skip of that Renfrew foursome that was so bewitched is said to be Andy Sklepowicz, but, the poor man swears he has no recollection of said events as do the rest of his team.

Ah, the reputation has spread now to two continents! What can I say?

Stephen Cuthill’s sec-

ond goal of the night five seconds from the end pushed the Major Midget Wolves past visiting Valley Storm 3-2.

HOUSE HOCKEY Colby Bleeks scored all four goals and Summer Simons earned the goaltending win in Renfrew Metro’s 4-1 novice house hockey league triumph over Arnprior.

Arnprior defeated Renfrew Pizzeria 10-2. Crawford Leavoy had both goals for the local squad.

Farrell’s Installation topped Arnprior 4-1 in the atom loop, and also tied Cobden 3-3.

Jacob Miller was be-

tween the pipes for both encounters.

Chase Parkinson had all three goals and Jordan Vandersleen the shutout when Fulton Construction blanked Petawawa 3-0 in peewee action.

Jonathan Carlson’s third shutout of 2010-11 and a pair of Cody Corbin goals highlighted Fraser’s Clothes Shop’s 2-0 decision over Westmeath in the bantam division.

USS Manufacturing fell 3-1 to Petawawa in midget house.

Ryan Fraser scored the lone Renfrew tally while Travis Lemay tended the goalcrease.

Renfrew Esso lost 9-0 to Deep River and 7-nil to Eganville.

The Renfrew midget house tournament runs Saturday with six teams at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. Action gets underway at 9 a.m.

The Renfrew Recreation Department is encouraged to see more volleyball teams participating in the league this year than has been in the recent past. With 15 teams of mixed recreational volleyball and 13 ladies competitive teams, it is keeping both RCI and St. Joe’s gyms busy on Wednesday and Thursday nights.

So far I believe the teams are enjoying the spirit of friendly local competition after a little early confusion in the scheduling.

In the past Renfrew Recreation has cut team entries off at 12 teams which made it much easier to schedule games each week in one gym. With 15 teams it became necessary to run the league in two gyms which took all of us a period of time to understand and see the value and necessity in doing so. Another encouraging change is using the recreation gym when schools need to, at the last minute, cancel the gym when a volleyball game is scheduled. Historically, these games were lost and never played.

This year we are attempting to find an alternate location or arrange a different time to play these games. Although playoffs are not until March and April we intend to have all teams enter the first playoff round.

League stats will dictate who each team plays in the playoffs. I believe it is

important to understand and keep reminding ourselves that people who sign up for league play want to play the game.

It didn’t make sense to not play cancelled games or have teams not be involved at least initially in the playoffs. All of the captains have agreed on these and a few other minor rule changes which allows them to play longer and enjoy the sport.

We hope that someone, perhaps a captain of one of this year’s teams, will step forward and play a more visible role when next season comes around. Having one person who can be present for most of the games and who can trouble shoot problems before they become large is an important step and something that many are capable of doing. It just takes someone who is willing to step forward and take on this role for the league.

Another change we foresee is that some of the teams in the mixed recreational league may be interested in taking part in a mixed competitive league next year rather than remain in the recreational league. Perhaps a male competitive league could start up if there is interest.

The idea is let’s have more people out being active and enjoying themselves.

After only three of 15 league games in the mixed recreational league we see Mixed Company, The Setting Ducks and Renfrew Pizzeria all tied for first place.

After three of 13 league games in ladies competitive the Sun Lifers, IPG and Jiggers are all tied for the top spot.

After bumping off the defending Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League champion Ottawa Junior Canadians Friday night, the Renfrew Timberwolves had a great opportunity to hold on to third place Sunday night at home.

But the Almonte Thunder had other ideas, and when the sun came up Monday morning, the Wolves found themselves in fourth place (6-10-and-3) in the Valley Division.

WOLVES 4 OTTAWA 3 Outside of a win in the playoffs, Friday night’s 4-3 decision over the Ottawa Junior Canadians was the biggest Timberwolves triumph in a while.

The Wolves dug down deep to pull out two points at the expense of the defending EOJHL champions.

Jesse Riopelle, Tyler Charbonneau, Mitch Parker and Darrin Lehoux connected for the Wolves.

Lehoux’s marker, off a fine three-way passing play with Charbonneau and Patrice Wren on Renfrew’s first powerplay of the night, broke a 3-3 deadlock 14 seconds into the third period.

Backstopped by Mike Rosebrook and a solid effort in front of him, the Wolves made the goal stand up through a tense final stanza. Rosebrook made 33 stops and Ottawa’s Ryan Bishop 17.

Andrew Mott had two goals for the Canadians and Manoli Vasilas a single.

Both the Charbonneau and Parker tallies came shorthanded less than four minutes apart early in the middle stanza. The Wolves faced seven Ottawa powerplays and yielded two goals, while the Canadians were down a man just twice.

Jordan Welk was named Renfrew Pizzeria player-of-the-game. His night included a great feed on the Charbonneau shorthanded marker early in the second period, and a key shot block during an Ottawa powerplay late in the third.

Kurtis Leclaire and Ottawa’s Jason Seeley received early exits following the

game’s lone piece of extra curricular activity in the second period.

ALMONTE 6 WOLVES 5 The bounces didn’t go Renfrew’s way, but a hard-working Thunder team created their own breaks Sunday night.

Five consecutive goals in the second period didn’t help Renfrew’s cause either.

The game started out well for the Wolves. Despite being outshot 18-12, Renfrew held a 2-0 edge through one period on the strength of Patrice Wren and Matt Johnston goals.

But the Thunder erupted for five consecutive goals from five different shooters in the middle session before Johnston connected again on a powerplay.

A Steve Miller marker upped it to 6-3 Almonte at 7:06 in the third.

The Wolves never quit, and drew closer when Brady Clouthier scored on an immaculate shorthanded effort.

Defenceman and Renfrew Pizzeria player-of-the-game Michael Deslaurier made it 6-5 with 6:46 remaining, but a tying goal was not in the cards.

Richard Barr turned in a 34-save performance for the Wolves, while goaltending counterpart and namesake Morgan Barr blocked 33 shots in the Almonte cage.

OTTAWA 6 WOLVES 2 Things didn’t go as well for the Wolves in the second leg of their home-and-home set with the Ottawa Junior Canadians.

In a rematch at Ottawa’s Brian Kilrea (Canterbury) Arena Tuesday, the Canadians collected two goals in each period en route to a 6-2 win.

Tyler Charbonneau and Steven Powell counted Renfrew markers in the second stanza. Mike Rosebrook faced 45 shots and Ottawa goaltending counterpart Ryan Bishop 31. Renfrew’s best chance to climb back into the game came in the middle session when they unloaded 18 shots.

The Wolves are in Perth Friday night at 7:45 p.m., and return home to meet the Gatineau Mustangs Sunday at the MAC. Game time is 7 p.m.

PLEASE DO NOT PUSH SNOW OR ICE ONTO TOWN STREETS OR SIDEWALKS According to the Highway Traffic Act R.S.O. 1990 C8, S181, “No person shall deposit snow or ice on a roadway (highway) without permission in writing to do so from the Ministry of Transportation or the Road Authority responsible for the maintenance of the road.

Wolves outlast defending league champions

Safe, high quality care through skills simulation Nicolas Ruszkowski

area, an intensive care area and two large spaces where University of Ottawa medical students receive hands-on, realistic training with no risk to themselves or to patients.

Nicolas Ruszkowski VP, Communications Ottawa Hospital

Drawing from flight simulation techniques, students use virtual reality technology; fullbody mannequins with voices, lung capacity, beating hearts and pulses; and life-size replicas of individual body parts to practice leading edge medical procedures.

My great-grandfather, Dr. Jan Ruszkowski was an eye surgeon and professor of medicine.

As a result, the quality and safety of patient care they will one day provide is increased.

In his day, the only way to realistically simulate surgery was with dead bodies. This provided him with the basis for a strong education, and a way to test a future physician’s nerves.

Practice, however, does not always make perfect. The real challenge in hospital care is not to conduct one procedure with perfection, but to replicate the perfect procedure, every time.

His favourite trick with new students was to simulate inserting his finger into a body’s eye socket, then wait for somebody in his class to get faint and, occasionally, pass out.

Thankfully, medical education has evolved since then. Last month, Dr. Jack Kitts, CEO of The Ottawa Hospital, Allan Rock, President of the University of Ottawa and Dr. Verin Naik, Medical Director of the University of Ottawa Skills and Simulation Centre (uOSSC, www. uossc.ca) opened a simulation centre at the Civic Campus of The Ottawa Hospital.

The 20,000 square foot facility includes two operating rooms, an emergency room/trauma

That is why, in addition to using current simulation tools, the centre will test new approaches and adopt them immediately when there is evidence of their effectiveness.

That is a recipe for continuous progress in medical education, quality, and patient safety.

While this progress takes the edge off of my great-grandfather’s teaching techniques, it puts a great deal more comfort into our patients’ experience.

The next time you see a young resident in their scrubs, you can trust you are in good hands.

Remembrance Day service attracts young and old PETER CLARK

peter.clark@metroland.com

The theme of the program was Remembrance ... Pass it on!

And that’s exactly what they did as more young people than usual were among the large turnout for Renfrew’s Remembrance Day Memorial Service Thursday morning.

Royal Canadian Legion Renfrew Branch 148 President Greg Walbeck welcomed everyone to Low Square in unusually good weather conditions and sunny skies for Nov. 11.

Representing the Silver Cross Mother this year during the official wreath laying ceremony was Emma Campbell. Her husband, Don, who served in the Navy during the Second World War, died in Feb. 2010.

He was a long-time volunteer who was known for his singing voice and sang at community events.

Padre Rev. Bruce Ferguson addressed the crowd in prayer, while Comrade Dean Black

played The Last Post and piper Allan Cole the Lament.

Joining the Renfrew Highland Pipes and Drums, and the Legion Colour Party were the marching contingent from D-Battery 2RCHA Canadian Forces Base Petawawa, who also supplied the cenotaph guard and the firing party.

Hank Schaly led the singing of O Canada, O God Our Help in Ages Past, and God Save The Queen, with accompaniment by the Renfrew Collegiate Institute band.

The Renfrew Children/Youth Chorus sang The Year of the Veteran under the direction of Sister Margaret Joan Pecore.

Legion branch president Walbeck read the Act of Remembrance: “They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

“At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.

“We will remember them.”

Reverence and Remembrance REBEKA BORSHEVSKY rborshevsky@metroland.com

It was a solemn assembly as the students of St. Joseph’s Catholic High School gathered in the gymnasium at 9:30 am on Nov. 11 to the bagpipe music of Justin Reid. Many wore dark colours and donned poppies to show their reverence and remembrance of both the veterans and the soldiers serving Canada in the present.

The ceremony included songs sung by the quartet Four Strong Winds: 21 Guns and One Tin Soldier. The school welcomed Capt. Carl Squires of the Canadian Air Force as he spoke to the students about those who give service for their country and pay the ultimate price. He also presented a slide show about the Canadian troops and a video on the importance of taking the time to remember.

Mary Ellen Vice’s drama class, along with the newly formed Glee Club, performed a combination of music and movement about war and peace.

Together, the school stood in a minute of silence, heralded by Mr. MacLeod playing The Last Post and ending with Reveille. Prayer and Bible readings were an important part of the service, reminding students of the peace that God strives for in His world.

At the conclusion of the ceremony, students filed out of the gym in respectful silence.

St. Joseph’s was one of many schools across Renfrew, and across the nation, that celebrated this day of remembrance.

The Renfrew Highland Pipes and Drums make their way down Raglan Street in front of Low Square following Remembrance Day ceremonies.

STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

It was a virtual musical chairs for Renfrew-area principals at the beginning of the school year, but the only new principal was actually Tracey Stevens.

Principal Bronwyn Scott left Central Public School for McNab Public School, Margaret Maloney moved across town from Queen Elizabeth to Central, and Lisa Murphy moved from Admaston Public to Queen Elizabeth. That left a vacancy at the Admaston school, where Tracey Stevens is settling in just fine.

New principal Tracey Stevens in her Admaston Public School office with her reward jar. Mercury

photo by Steve Newman

Each of the Renfrew elementary schools lost students, with the departure of Grade 7 and 8 students to the new Renfrew Collegiate Intermediate School.

But Stevens says having 133 students, from junior kindergarten to Grade 6, simply represents “the new normal” for Admaston Public School.

Meanwhile, Stevens’ penciland-sticker reward jar sits on the small round table next to her desk.

Earlier in the day, she had rewarded a pencil to a kindergarten student who proudly announced she had learned three new words.

Unknown to the youngster, the words on the brightly coloured pencil she chose read: Positively Wild About Learning.

It just so happens kids’ passion and eagerness to learn lights Stevens’s professional candle, although Stevens notes much student learning is being done so much differently than a few years ago.

“Research in educational practice and technology are informing our work in a really exciting way,” says Stevens, pointing to the Internet and interactive video examples of how students are

interacting on a world stage with other students.

Today’s students are becoming what many educators are calling digital natives.

“We learn what we live,” says Stevens while acknowledging that Canadian students generally don’t spell as well as they did years ago.

“I don’t have an answer for that, but it’s something that has to inform our practice (as educators).”

Meanwhile, educational components such as Smartboards are heightening interest in learning in many schools, including Admaston Public. Use of the boards has proven to be motivating, engaging and interactive, says Stevens. At the same time, she admits “the jury’s still out” on their effectiveness, partly because teachers are still learning how to use the Smartboards to their full potential.

Whatever happens at the school, it will come with a new principal who calls herself passionate, enthusiastic and positive. Stevens is also known to be highly organized, with a proclivity for categorizing items with a focus on colour-coding.

“I believe in every child’s ability to be the very best they can be, with nurturing and support and caring. Every day’s a good day and every day’s a new day.”

Asked what can be done with children whose parents are less motivated to get involved in their children’s education, Stevens doesn’t point fingers.

Instead, she says, “We have the kids for seven hours a day, and we have an amazing opportunity to do things with them … and expose them to all kinds of things.”

Referring to the ‘motivational’ jar of stickers and pencils in her office, she says youngsters don’t get rewarded all the time. It’s for special moments.

“It’s just always been a part of my practice … It’s just every once in a while, when there’s a wow … It’s all about engagement and motivation,” she says.

With that same goal in mind, she says she’s also pleased to be part of an official bucket-filling school, a term coined by author Carol McCloud in Have You Filled a Bucket Today? The fuller the bucket, with compliments and other positive actions or attitudes, the better the likelihood students will have a better day, explains Stevens.

Ever since she’s been a teacher, Stevens says a major motivation has been the joy of seeing a child learn something new or exciting.

COMMUNITY

Admaston Public School’s new principal Continued from Page 31 The sparkle in their eye, the skip in their step that says “I get it” or “I did it”: That’s what excites Stevens each day.

Her own educational career began 18 years ago after earning her B.A. and B.Ed degrees from York University.

In 2008, she completed her master’s degree in special education from Australia’s University of Southern Queensland.

Last year, she was vice-principal at Champlain Discovery Public School in Pembroke.

The previous three years she was an elementary school special education consultant for the public board.

After moving from the Toronto area. she

was a special education teacher at Central Public School from 2003 until 2006, “I’m so happy to be in this community,” says Stevens, who spent childhood summers with her grandparents Mina and Arthur Toner. Stevens’ own parents, Lois Toner and Doug Stevens, also grew up in Renfrew.

She and retired husband Spencer Hopping, who does business lecturing for Algonquin College, live in the former Horton Township community centre.

They are also parents to adult-age girls who work in medical research and radio broadcasting.

In her spare time, Stevens enjoys gardening and kayaking.

GRAND DAY Renfrew Victoria Hospital staff broke into seven teams for a threeweek challenge and collected 1,034 items and $125 for the Renfrew and District Food Bank. That’s about 100 items more than last year. RVH has supported the food bank with this food/fundraiser for five years. In front row from left are Jill Carty, Monica LaPierre and Nellie Bertrand; back row, Yolanda Prange, Dr. Bruce Strader, Angela Richard, Colleen Turcotte and Kim Dick. The EROR-MDs team collected 263 food items to win the friendly competition. Photo courtesy of Yolanda Prange

Manor receives grant for therapeutic garden Bonnechere Manor is the recipient of New Horizons Funding, under the Community Participation and Leadership Funding for their successful application for a Seniors Therapeutic Community Garden.

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant visited Bonnechere Manor Oct. 29 and was delighted to deliver the good news to residents and staff.

“Seniors and children from the Renfrew community will create and build a community garden. This garden will strengthen the community bonds and intergenerational connections,” Gallant said.

“The aim of this project is to have a significant and positive impact upon both the residents of Bonnechere Manor and seniors in our surrounding community,” explains Robyn Arseneau, community relations co-ordinator for Bonnechere Manor.

“Through the establishment of a new Seniors Horticultural Society, wheelchair accessible and therapeutic garden beds will be created for all to enjoy.”

The New Horizons Community Participation and Leadership Funding provides one-time, start-up grant funding for community-based projects that enable seniors to play an important role in their communities. It encour-

Strong turnout Continued from Page 35 Young teenager Tyler Hanniman of Renfrew was the youngest successful hunter with a 110pound doe, while Greg Maguire of Renfrew had the weirdest rack.

Local hunters Dwight Crozier, Ray Caillier and Kayla Martin were the mystery-weight winners.

Ron Dick of Douglas won the draw for an Excalibur Axiom Crossbow, while other draw winners for Excalibur merchandise were Cordell Enright, Wayne Schruder and Kelly Limlaw.

Gourley’s also donated $250 to Hospice Renfrew.

Thanks goes out from the organizers to all contestants and customers this year.

“With the increased interest, we look forward to a bigger and better contest next year,” said Gourley.

Celebrating the seniors therapeutic community garden announcement, in front row from left are Bonnechere Manor residents Annie Jolicoeur, Clifford Mills, Gertie Windle, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant, and residents Margaret Hicks and Dot Skinner.

“Residents of Bonnechere Manor

will flourish in creating their community garden and can share their horticulture talents, while enjoying the visits of residents from the local area.

“What a creative way to bring a community together,” Gallant said.

The Renfrew Mercury - November 18, 2010

October may have been Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but at RVH the disease is on our health care team’s radar year-round.

We are always encouraging and educating women to be proactive in the fight against breast cancer and are a proud member of the Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP). RVH is one of the 153 sites of the OBSP, which is celebrating two decades of assisting women ages 50 to 69 in the early detection of small invasive breast cancers.

This is a vital service to our community, since breast cancer is the most common cancer among females in Ontario, affecting 1 in 9 women in their lifetime. It’s the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women.

The first OBSP site opened in London, Ontario, in 1990. The program has since spread across the province to hospitals, clinics and other health care centres, including a mobile coach dedicated to servicing remote communities in Northern Ontario.

So far, the program has provided more than 3.6 million screens to more than 1.1 million females across the province. It has detected more than 19,000 cancers, the majority in the early stages.

The program provides high-quality examinations and is free to Ontario residents without existing cancer symptoms or breast implants. Most importantly, it is easily accessible to those without a family physician.

Last year, more than 396,000 women were screened through the OBSP and this process of early detection is proven to save lives. According to studies, regular mammograms reduce the risk of dying from breast cancer by up to one third.

Treatment works best when cancer is caught in its earliest stages and that’s why it is so important for all women to be screened after age 50.

This year alone, an estimated 8,900 women will be diagnosed with breast

cancer in Ontario, and 2,100 of them will die from this devastating disease.

Currently 42 per cent of eligible women are screened through the OBSP, with an additional 24 per cent of Ontarian women screened outside of the program. It has set a goal of reaching 68 per cent of females through OBSP by 2011/12.

For every 200 women screened at the OBSP, an average of 17 will be sent for further testing, of which one woman will be diagnosed with breast cancer.

In the past 20 years, the rates of Ontario women dying from breast cancer in this age range have decreased by 35 per cent. This success is associated with the screening program and better treatments available to those who are diagnosed with breast cancer.

All of these facts and figures may seem slightly overwhelming, however this devastating disease is a very serious matter.

That’s why Cancer Care Ontario offers these healthy lifestyle tips to help reduce your risk of breast cancer: • Maintain a healthy body weight, especially after menopause • Be physically active • Have no more than one alcoholic drink per day, if at all • Be a non-smoker and avoid second-hand smoke • Limit your time on hormone replacement therapy, if used • Most importantly, get screened.

Since early detection is the key, the OBSP’s main priority is to ensure that all eligible women are screened on a regular basis.

Once enrolled in the program, all arrangements are made for your next mammogram or any necessary follow-up appointments and reminders are sent before the next screening, usually two years later.

Appointments can be made without a doctor’s referral. If you are a female between ages 50 and 69, please contact RVH at 613-432-4851 ext. 807, or toll-free at 1-800-916-6277 and ask for the OBSP for more information or to book a screening.

FLYERS # 3834 Quinn

# 3856 Isabella

Quinn is a playful little cat who loves attention and is very affectionate.

The one-and-a-half-year-old spayed female was found in Burnstown in March, pregnant and in terrible condition. She is playful, easygoing and gentle. Quinn is active and likes to run and climb. She is good with other cats and well-behaved dogs and she would be good with children.

Isabella is a friendly, outgoing cat who likes to be held and picked up. The oneand-a-half-year-old spayed female was brought to the shelter to find a new home. Isabella is playful and curious but not overly active. She will require some grooming to keep her long hair beautiful.

Isabella should go to a home where she is the only pet.

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

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

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

NOVEMBER 18, 1910 GROUNDS MADE SMOOTH AT REAR OF POST OFFICE: The government grounds at the rear of Renfrew’s fine Post Office building, which not so very long ago were rough and stony, have been made as level as a bowling green by Mr Harvey Totten, who had been awarded a contract to that end and who makes FROM THE OLD FILES a specialty of work of that kind. Formerly these grounds formed a short cut from Main street to Plaunt street; they will not do so anymore as in the spring they are to be enclosed with an iron fence, giving the grounds a chance to get a good start. Benches will probably be distributed there in due time and the piece of real estate serve as a park or breathing space for a growing town.

A GIFTED MAYOR: Under the above heading the Brockville Times speaks as follows of Renfrew’s first citizen of today: “Mayor Gravelle of Renfrew has a wonderful record of opening safe lock combinations, and has never yet met with defeat in this line. Recently at Almonte he again showed his skill in lock combinations, and though he did not open the safe, this was because the lock was broken and would not respond. Mr. Gravelle, however, astounded the owner of the safe and the Almonte expert by giving them the combination to which the lock was set, though he had no way of knowing what it was except his own skill in such matters. After three or four minutes work Mr. Gravelle explained that an inner part of the lock was broken and the safe would have to be drilled before it could be opened, all of which was verified when men came from the Toronto safe factory.

NOVEMBER 21, 1935 NO VENISON SECURED BUT A BEAR SHOT: Another bear has been accounted for by a Renfrew citizen, this time by Harvey Cram, the elder, who hunted with Clifford Peever, David Barr, Mack Kelly, Harry Barr and Gordon Barr, and that veteran of the chase George A Peever of Northcote. They did not secure a single deer; this bruin formed a certain measure of compensation. Only one or two “forest beauties” were seen and but few partridges.

Though rewards in the form of venison were nil, the outing was otherwise pleasant and no one was sorry for having gone up. The bear was a yearling preparing to hibernate for the winter. Scene was Stonecliffe west of Pembroke on the Ottawa.

BEAVER COLONY: A colony of beavers lately made an appearance on Mr. James Fennessy’s “three hundred.” Many poplars have been cut by the busy animals and a pond has been created.

This is about a mile from Renfrew, as the crow flies.

Const. Johnston is aware of the presentage of the beavers and will endeavour to see that no trappers operate there.

It was 125 years ago this month that the last spike was driven into the national rail line that linked Canada from east to west.

Today, rail service in the Renfrew is on the verge of complete collapse as Ottawa Valley Railway moves to-

ward abandonment of the final rail line through the community that once bustled with rail traffic.

The K&P Line was first to disappear from the area’s transportation landscape, followed by the CN line that is Renfrew’s Millennium Trail today.

Earth Rangers’ show features adorable Dora and fine-feathered Shriek

Don’t miss the colour party Saturday, Nov. 27 at the Admaston-Bromley Public Library.

The event runs 10 a.m. to noon for kids 4 to 10.

Two members of the Earth Rangers put their travelling animal companions on display during a Nov. 1 half-hour show at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School.

The first of the travelling companions introduced to the audience of elementary students and staff was Dora, a black and white Argentine tegu lizard.

Our Lady of Fatima’s students were also delighted, a few minutes later, with the visit of Shriek.

The red-tailed hawk swooped just above the heads of the students a few times when not perched on the arm of handler Laura Huculak.

Earth Rangers representatives Amanda Saunders and Huculak spoke about the importance of the Bring Back the Wild campaign, whereby youngsters can raise money for animal habitat.

They also presented a large-screen video presentation about threatened habitat for plant and animal species.

Threatened creatures include the killer whale, polar bear and monarch butterfly.

In Canada, 13 species have gone extinct and more than 400 are threatened, according to the Earth Rangers.

“Earth Rangers believes children have both the power and desire to change the world and the right to inherit a healthy planet,” says the not-for-profit Earth Rangers website.

“We are an innovative charitable organization with a mission to inspire kids with a lasting passion to build a better future – a green future in which today’s children are transformed from being the chief inheritors of environmental destruction into a powerful and determined part of the solution.”

Students at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School remember On Nov. 11, St. Joseph’s Catholic High School stood in silence to remember.

At 9:30 a.m. we held our own annual Remembrance Day prayer and remembrance service in the gymnasium.

The Four Strong Winds quartets lead the students and staff in singing O Canada and a few other songs, including 21 Guns.

We were also fortunate enough to have Capt. Carl Squires, from the Canadian Air Force, come to

speak at the assembly.

He spoke about how our soldiers are helping relief efforts all over the world and of the importance of saying thank-you to our veterans.

Following his presentation, Mrs. Vice’s Grade 11/12 drama class performed an original skit and dance and the Glee club sang Jon Lennon’s Imagine.

The service ended with Don McLeod playing The Last Post, and Reveille on trumpet, fol-

VICTORIA SLIGHT JAGUAR JOURNAL lowed by a moment of silence.

Student Justin Reed then played a lament on bagpipes, and everyone left the gym in silence.

Following this, a group of students attended the annual Remembrance Day ceremony at Low Square and took part by

laying a wreath at the cenotaph.

Let us always remember the sacrifice of those who died or have been injured while fighting for the freedom we enjoy today.

On another note, as a result of the healthy eating initiatives being introduced by the government of Ontario, the high school has begun to take steps to encourage better nutrition for students.

As a fun way to get students to drink more milk, and keep

their bones good and strong, members of our student council are organizing a milk mustache competition.

Students are encouraged to take a picture of themselves with their best milk moustache and submit them into the school to be put up on our cafeteria bulletin boards.

The pictures will be judged by student council to decide the winner, the person with the best milk mustache.

COMMUNITY SENIORS’ SUPPORT

Some people regard graziers as a bit of a cult

You are probably not familiar with the term “grazier farmers”. Grazier farmers don’t like operating machinery if they don’t have to. They believe the best and most powerful tool for turning grass into profit is their knowledge of grass, livestock, and grazing systems.

Graziers don’t invest in expensive machines – simple and cheap will do. They let the animals graze the fields. They’re big on electric fences.

Cattle are moved all the time in and out of small electric fenced paddocks.

They don’t mind if their fields are a little rough.

In fact, graziers are much like the old-time ranchers, they only plow a field if it’s absolutely necessary. And you never see a grazier farmer with a dual-wheeled tractor, or talking about dual wheels.

That’s cash-cropper talk.

Some people regard graziers as a bit of a cult.

Graziers like to walk pasture fields as a group. At a pasture walk, they work as a group, sharing their observations and learning from the different perspectives that each person in the group brings.

By sharing their individual observations and experiences, the members of a pasture walk will take away ideas that will help them increase the productivity of their pasture.

I’ve learned some interesting facts from the pasture information meetings I attend from time to time. Cows will graze for about 8 ½ hours each day. Grass that is 10 to 25 centimetres high is ideal for quality and provides the most quantity for each bite.

Graziers believe the trick is to control the ani-

Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support was the recipient of a $200 donation from the Rocky Mountain House Nov. 15. The contribution was 20 percent of the proceeds from a benefit night Rocky Mountain House held Oct. 13. Owner Amy Halko, left, presents the cheque to Seniors House Support executive director Judy Ewart. “We appreciate all the help we get,” Ewart said. Mercury

MAYNARD VAN DER GALIEN RURAL ROUTES mal plant interaction using a fence. To prevent over-harvesting, and re-biting before a plant has time to replenish its root reserves, they limit time in any one pasture-paddock to no more than three days. This means that in the spring with a quick regrowth a grazier needs a minimum of eight paddocks and, as the growth rate slows, they need even more paddocks.

I’m like most beef farmers. My cows graze on grass from mid-May to some time in November.

They still have grass to eat. But I have no paddock or electric fences to move around. That allows me to go away on little vacations – for a few days at a time or for extended periods like I did last month when I toured California agriculture.

One 10,000-acre ranch I saw only grows enough grass to feed 1,600 head of cattle. The sandy land was bone-dry this summer and fall – no green grass anywhere.

I also saw a feedlot operation near Los Angeles that holds 130,000 head at full capacity. It’s an unbelievable sight on 800 acres of land. The company also owns another 20,000 acres of high value cropland.

Some sights boggle the mind!

MCNULTY, In loving memory of a Special Mom Janet who passed away three years ago November 15, 2007.

If I could have a life time wish A dream that would come true, I’d pray to God with all my heart For yesterday and you.

Enjoy and love your Mom while you can, For time is short, with memories spent We think that nothing can ever go wrong That she will be here forever so long.

A thousand words can’t bring you back I know because I’ve tried, Neither will a thousand tears I know because I’ve cried.

You left behind my broken heart And happy memories too, But I never wanted memories I only wanted you.

A big thank you to our sons and families who made our 50th Anniversary a lovely celebration.

Thanks to all who helped in any way, to relatives and friends for all the lovely gifts, cards and well wishes.

A special thanks to Darrell Mooney and all the band for supplying the music.

IN MEMORIAM

SHIRLEY M. EVE In loving memory of a dear Wife, Mother, Mother-in law and Grandmother, who passed away Nov. 22, 2009.

God looked around His garden And He found an empty place.

Then He looked down upon the earth, And saw your tired face.

He put His arms around you, And lifted you to rest.

God’s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain, He knew that you would never Get well on earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough, And the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids, And whispered “Peace be thine.”

It broke our hearts to lose you.

But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home.

Lovingly remembered: Ken, Sandra, Ralph, Greg (Heather) and Jennifer John, Judy, Geoffrey and Melissa Bob, Gwen, Kristopher (Jen), Tyler and Taylor Kevin Mike, Shelley, Chrystal and Brent CL22124

Muriel Faye Richard (Sparling) May 24, 1946- Nov 22, 2009 Muriel was a wonderful, loving and caring woman. She was strong and brave throughout her life. As a loving wife to Mearl, mom to Tammy, Melinda and Mark, and granny to Joselyn and Dustin, she took great pride in her family. One year ago she left us too soon, but her love and memory lingers. Her faith reigns as she has taken the hand of the Lord.

Her smiling way and pleasant face Are a pleasure to recall; She had a kindly word for each And died beloved by all.

Some day we hope to meet her, Some day we know not when, To clasp her hand in the better land, Never to part again.

Forever loved by Mearl, Tammy, Melinda, Mark, Joselyn and Dusty CL22172

A rather sad experience for Bohemian waxwings The event you describe happens all too often involving birds and buildings with large windows.

The birds, in this case, a flock of bohemian waxwings, (often with over 250 birds in them) crashed into the glass, unaware of its presence.

The birds see only the reflection of the trees and sky, not the glass, and thinking the way is clear, fly into the glass.

No death wish, just unfortunate circumstances.

RED-BELLIED WOODPECKERS We had two more sightings of the rare red-bellied woodpecker this past week. Reggie Ramones and Bill Brydges had a bird at their feeders on Fraser Road and Sandy and Joe Drake had a bird at their feeder on Hurds Lake.

The exceptionally late fall, warm weather and the expansion of the species northward have brought an increase in the numbers of birds to this area.

Their flight is undulating, rising and falling as they move among the trees. They land with a short downward glide, followed by a rapid upward glide to their perch.

Angela Struyk-Huyer and the students at the Young Parent Program in Renfrew had a sad experience with a flock of Bohemian waxwings.

We received this email on Nov. 12: We had a rather sad experience at my work today (Young Parent Program in Renfrew).

One of my students came in and asked about all of the dead birds in the parking lot.

I went out to check, and sure enough, there were 13 bohemian waxwings lying on the ground.

Looking up at the large picture window, we could see exactly what had happened.

Two of the birds were still alive, and we picked them up and set them in the sun.

One flew off, and the other was still there when I left at noon.

This past summer we found three dead cedar waxwings in our driveway, having flown into the window of the garage.

So what is going on here?

I can understand one misguided bird, but why the multitudes?

Any ideas?

Do wax wings have a death wish?

JIM FERGUSON SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE Your help verifying the presence of these birds would be appreciated.

GRAY JAY Hi Jim and Ila: We saw your write-up about gray jays in the Renfrew Mercury. We have a gray jay visiting us and feeding at our suet feeders. You can add this to your bird count.

Cheers Dennis and Val Barnes Griffith, Ontario.

We will certainly add this to our bird count. We received some bad news this past week regarding the jays.

According to some reports, there have been fewer gray jays seen this year than ever before.

Reasons vary from climate change to loss of habitat.

One theory put forward states that because of the warmer weather food, usually stored on tree limbs using saliva, does not stay frozen and spoils before it

can be eaten by the birds.

Modern methods of tree harvesting destroy the native habitat used by the jays.

Until more studies are undertaken all possibilities are being considered.

CRANES STILL HERE Murray Reid saw a sandhill crane this past week flying low over a field of corn stubble.

The bird was alone which appeared unusual to Murray.

He thought that the birds travelled in family flocks or larger.

Such a situation could mean that the bird was injured and unable to keep up with others in the flock.

Thankfully, there have been no reports of injured cranes so far.

A rough-legged hawk was hunting in the same area that the crane was seen. This hawk, our largest, is a migrant and is seen only on its way north in the spring and on its way south in the fall.

SOME RETURNEES Shirley Leith had northern cardinals return to her feeders

over the past few weeks. She says winter is not far away when her cardinals return to feed.

A northern shrike came to Ron and Sybil Ferguson’s feeders this week and sent all other birds at the feeders into hiding, This small predator did not stay long and moved to hunt in the fields where mice are easier to catch than chickadees.

Ron Pender reports that common loons have gathered on Muskrat Lake near Cobden.

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

Butler bringing offensive punch to B-Sens

By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com Bobby Butler takes pride in his play at both ends of the ice.

But there’s one thing in particular about him that opened the Ottawa Senators’ eyes last spring. And already, the 23-year-old native of Marlborough, Mass., is showing plenty of it for the Binghamton Senators.

When the Senators signed Butler as a college free agent, he came to the organization heralded as the leading goal scorer (29) in NCAA Division I hockey for the New Hampshire Wildcats. Now the American Hockey League is seeing that touch around the net.

During the weekend of Nov. 5-7, the 6-0, 180-pound forward racked up seven points in three games, including a hat trick in a 5-0 triumph over the Syracuse Crunch. That followed another three-point effort (one goal, two assists) in a 7-3 whipping of the Adirondack Phantoms.

With 10 goals and 15 points in his first 13 games this season, Butler ranked No. 2 among all AHL rookies in both categories. Clearly, he’s adjusting quickly to the minor pro game.

“Bobby’s been very good,” said Senators assistant general manager Tim Murray, who oversees the organization’s top affiliate in Binghamton. “The

coaches are real happy with him. He’s got very good stats for a first-year guy. He’s a little older than some of the guys, but he’s still a first-year player and he’s showing his pedigree. He’s a top prospect and we do expect him to play that way.”

Butler made a strong push to make the big club during training camp, but the numbers game didn’t play out right for him. But Binghamton head coach Kurt Kleinendorst sees a player who is NHL ready in a lot of ways already.

“Bobby was close when he left (training camp),” said Kleinendorst. “In fact, Bobby’s probably the kind of player that, under the right circumstances, could be playing in the NHL right now. But I will say there’s a beneift to what he’s experiencing right now in the American league. He gets to play in all situations. He’s playing on the power play, he’s playing penalty kill, he’s doing 5-on-5.

“He’s playing 18, 20, 22 minutes a night and getting used in all situations. And he’s learning how to play the game and be responsible defensively. He can hone his craft in the American league that when he comes up here, he’s more prepared to stay.”

All of that is fine with Butler, who considered himself adept at both ends of the ice during his years at New Hampshire, where he was a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award last season as the top player in U.S. college hockey.

“In my four years there, I always thought I was sound in the defensive zone,” he said. “That was one of the biggest parts (of the game) that the coach didn’t have to worry about with me, being able to put me in all situations. It’s a little different and everything’s faster (in the AHL), but that was one of the good parts of my game, the defensive zone. And you generate offence from good defence.”

Still, Butler knows that it’s his nose for the net that is the key to eventually earning full-time employment with the big club.

“It’s been pretty good,” he said of his start in Binghamton. “I feel good out there and I’m getting some chances. The more chances I get, the better it’s going (for me). Right now, so far, so good.”

He senses improvement in his overall game with each passing week.

“We’re learning something new every day and the coach tries to instill something new in us every practice,” said Butler. “Every week, I’ve learned something new and I try to put it into my game, whether it’s individually or for the whole team.”

Butler and the BSens are headed to Scotiabank Place on Nov. 26, when they’ll face off against the Hamilton Bulldogs, the top affiliate of the Montreal Canadiens. The two teams played Nov. 6 at the Bell Centre in Montreal, with the Bulldogs earning a 5-2 victory.

The youthful Kings have already served notice they intend to be among the elite teams in the Western Conference, charging out to an impressive start in the season’s first month. Jonathan Quick’s stellar play has been front and centre in that early success, with his performance so far rating among the NHL’s best. The defence is anchored

by Drew Doughty, already considered Norris Trophy material in just his third season, and Jack Johnson. Up front, Los Angeles follows the lead of Anze Kopitar, Justin Williams and Jarret Stoll, while captain Dustin Brown and veteran Ryan Smyth supply an abundance of grit.
