DERRY DIES AT AGE 104 Renfrew native Kay Derry died Saturday in Renfrew at the age of 104. The retired school teacher drove a car well into her 90s and was also a volunteer late in life at the Bonnechere Manor. Born May 18, 1906 in Renfrew, the daughter of Allen and Elizabeth Derry was predeceased by sisters Helen McGregor Young, Ethel Stewart and Gertrude Derry, and brothers Bill and George. Kerry who retired from a 41year teaching career in Ottawa in 1972, then moved back to the family home in Renfrew. A service of remembrance for her takes place at the McPhail & Perkins Funeral Home chapel on Saturday, Dec. 4, at 11 a.m.

The future of the Ontario forestry industry may very well depend on what was started during a meeting of minds in Renfrew last week. The provincial government has created a healthy investment environment by approving feed-in tariff (FIT) rates for solar and wind energy projects in 2009. But the same has not happened for FIT rates for biomass projects, and a group called the Ontario Biomass Energy Association wants to change that. Of more than 1,200 projects approved by the Ontario government, more than 1,000 are solar and 54 are wind-generated. Biomass production is practically not on the map, with just three approved projects, largely because the feed-in tariff rates are considered too low to attract investors, says Renfrew County development officer Alastair Baird. The FIT rate refers to the fee received from the Province per kilowatt hour of electrical power placed on the power grid. The current rate for FIT

biomass projects is 13 cents per kilowatt hour, but many members of the forestry industry, which stand to benefit from such projects, says the rate needs to be closer to 20 cents to attract investors. RESIDUALS Forestry industry members say a higher FIT rate in Ontario could very well resurrect the forestry industry, whose sawmill residuals (like sawdust, bark and chips) now have virtually no market, following the closure of pulp mills and medium-density fibreboard plants across Ontario. Local examples of closures are the Smurfit mill in Portage-du-Fort, Que., and the ATC plant near Pembroke. Therefore, 21 forestry and forestry-related personnel, including several from Hearst in northern Ontario, gathered in Renfrew Nov. 23 to determine how they will lobby in the next few months for a higher FIT rate for biomass. Its presentation to the Ontario Power Authority in late winter of 2011 will include a cost analysis of a FIT rate for biomass that supports an increase of the current rate. See FORESTRY, Page 2

The secondary process has the most benefit for the Bonnechere River because the resulting effluent from the plant will not take up oxygen that fish require to live. Another advantage is that chlorine, which is toxic to fish, is no longer added. Instead, the effluent is treated with ultraviolet rays to kill the e-coli. Ultraviolet disinfection of the effluent. Another benefit is that the sludge is stabilized, which means most pathogens (bugs) are killed, before being hauled away to the Bruce Street landfill site.

Gentlemen, start your snowmobile engines, at Peaks international event SHERRY HAAIMA

Hundreds of the world’s best snowmobile racing teams will compete in the season opener of the Canadian Snowcross Championships, this year hosted by Calabogie Peaks Resort. The Peaks mountain team has fired up the snow guns, covering slopes and the base of the mountain in loads of snow for the track. The races will feature over 300 entries from across Canada and the U.S. The challenging course will feature a 60-foot wide, quarter-mile uphill vertical starting line, huge jumps; downhill drop-offs, and twists and turns. The half-mile race course will be built on the mountain directly in front of the resort so spectators can view all the action from the licensed patio or track side. Spectators are invited to come watch some of the best racing in the Ottawa region. With snow machines jumping at heights of 100 feet at times, it’s certainly something to see, says Peaks owner Paul Murphy. “This is a first for our community and a first for Calabogie Peaks,” Murphy told

members of the Calabogie and Area Business Association Monday, Nov. 29. “We don’t know what to expect in terms of crowds,” said Murphy, who noted the event is one of just 10 held in the province. Similar races in the Barrie area can attract up to 10,000 people and while he doesn’t expect that many this time around, he’s hoping the numbers might reach 3,000. For many of the racers, this will be their first time in Calabogie, said Murphy. The spin off is evident already, with a number of area rooms booked for the weekend. Competing in this year’s events will be renowned Canadian national champions Lee Bulter and Iain Hayden. Teams from Polaris and Rockstar Energy Drink will also be in the lineup. Spectators will have opportunity to meet the racers each day for autographs and may also win door prizes. This weekend’s races will feature over 40 classes of competition including amateur and vintage racing classes. There are also classes for first time racers, and classes for junior riders and kids – some as young as four years of age. There will be something to suit every

The Bonnechere Manor auditorium campaign is $20,000 richer, thanks to three hours on Valley Heritage Radio CJHR 98.7. The station hosted a Christmas Cheer broadcast and concert Saturday morning at the Burnstown Road studio, featuring a visit by beloved singer/ songwriter Wayne Rostad who treated the studio audience to a live performance of his holiday classic, Christmas in the Valley. “It feels wonderful,” campaign chair Don Goulet told hosts Dai Bassett and Art Jamieson during the radiothon’s closing onair moments. Goulet thanked the hosts, station manager Jim Long, and all the station volunteers such as Mike Cloutier, who help to keep community radio alive. He also thanked Neil Virgin and the staff of the Sunshine Coach for bringing the Bonnechere Manor Residents Choir out to the station to perform. The house band for the fund-

raising celebration was The Countrymen. They were joined by MPP John Yakabuski for Guy Mitchell’s 1959 hit Heartaches by the Number. Yakabuski also teamed up with outgoing Horton Mayor Bob Johnston, creating a holiday song by changing the name in the old Billy Walker song Charlie’s Shoes to Santa’s Shoes. But the most captivating moment was Rostad’s live performance. “We certainly appreciate his attendance,” Goulet told Bassett and Jamieson. A press release from the Bonnechere Manor Foundation called support for the project unrelenting, dropping the amount left to be raised from $110,000 to $90,000. “This support is unbelievable,” said community relations co-ordinator Robyn Arsenau. “The generosity of the community is beyond anything I have seen, and it just goes to show how much this project is believed in. Everyone is making such a difference in the lives of the resi-

dents at Bonnechere Manor and you all have to be commended,” said Arsenau. “I just can’t wait to have the auditorium complete, in order to fill it with celebrations with all of our supporters,” she said. In order to make the Heritage Radio fundraiser possible, more than 50 volunteers kept busy with duties, from answering the phones to organizing the event. “In addition, this production could not have been possible without Art Jamieson and Dai Bassett who were the hosts for the three hours Saturday morning,” Arsenau said. “Mack Wilson from Wilson Investments once again showed his generosity by sponsoring the Christmas Cheer Broadcast.” The organizers thank all who supported the Christmas Cheer broadcast and the auditorium campaign.

Renfrew politics reached the end of an era Monday night as outgoing mayor Sandi Heins chaired her last council meeting. Heins thanked council, staff and all in the Town of Renfrew for their support in the October 2010 election and over the years. She also wished incoming mayor Bill Ringrose and the new council the best. “A lot of smiles and happy memories; a few tears of knowing how much I will miss this; but great memories,” Heins told council of her 25 years in municipal politics. Heins entered Renfrew’s political scene when elected to a councillor seat in 1985 with current reeve Audrey Green at the helm. In 1991, Heins was again elected to council under the leadership of Mayor Howie Haramis. In 1994, she took on the challenge to step up to the position of deputy reeve and was again elected. When Haramis’s health failed in 1998, Heins became acting mayor, and when Haramis passed away Nov. 17 of 1998, Heins was unanimously appointed the mayor of Renfrew. “The evening of Dec. 8, 1998 was indeed an evening I will al-

ways remember, walking into this room, coming to this seat, sitting down, and then being obsessed with the back wall of mayors, and having the thought in my head that they were all deceased,” Heins recalled. “Well, not so,” she added. “But at that exciting, scary moment, when I moved from that council chair up to here, that thought overcame me, but I knew that I could either run out of the room or pull up my socks and get on with the job.” Heins did “rise to the occasion” and get on with the job as mayor, for 12 years from December 1998 to November 2010. Heins paused to reflect and thank seven municipal politicians – Mayor Howie Haramis, councillors Barry Belanger, Jeff Scott, Reeve Norm Wilson, and councillors Ruth Burwell, Lois LeClaire and Earl Bennett – “who each in their own way had a big influence on my life.” “I am truly in awe at the many wonderful people I have had the pleasure of meeting. “The list is endless,” she observed. “But truly, the citizens of Renfrew, the many groups and organizations, have made the time so worthwhile.” The night also marked the end of council duty for Kate Windle and Bill Guyea.

Cash flow decision by council For the first time, the OPP has provided a semi-annual report on policing costs. Based on the difference between the amount billed and estimated costs, Renfrew received a credit for $31,156 that could be

applied against the town’s current balance or a future invoice. Council accepted the amount, which will remain in the town’s bank account for a few months rather than in the provincial coffers.

Remembering the reason for the season LUCY HASS lucy.hass@metroland.com

The local Put Christ Back into Christmas group is keeping the true meaning of Christmas alive in downtown Renfrew. Almost 100 people gathered at Low Square Sunday night for the ceremony to light the holy scene. Diana Wakely, who was emcee for the celebration,

thanked volunteers like Rev. Chris Holmes and Kelly Hunt for their efforts to keep the tradition alive. Natalie Campbell led the children in a Christmas alphabet and Councillor-Elect Jim Miller provided music for the evening event. Renfrew Mayor Sandi Heins addressed the gathering and called the turnout heartwarming. She praised the tremen-

dous volunteer effort behind the Nativity initiative, and drew a chuckle as she noted, earlier in the day, seeing Rev. Chris Holmes carrying an angel under his arm and Kelly Hunt pushing a camel. She said the ceremony â&#x20AC;&#x201C; held on the first Sunday of Advent â&#x20AC;&#x201C; unites the community and reminds people of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christian roots and beliefs. Mayor Heins said that,

with the word Christmas increasing under attack, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to remember the reason for the season.â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life is about caring, sharing and goodwill,â&#x20AC;? she said. The Nativity Scene is named in memory of Vern Yemen, a long-time supporter of the Put Christ Back into Christmas initiative. The Nativity Scene will remain in Low Square until Jan. 6, 2011.

OPINION EDITORIAL

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Gifts that change lives

Time for change; people can’t survive

s people craft their Christmas shopping lists, charity should never be far from mind. There are many worthy local efforts to support, and for many people the greatest gift at Christmas is a gift given to charity in their name. Some people also look beyond their town, province and even country for their Christmas giving. According to World Vision, for over 10 years Canadians have used their purchasing power to change the world, one gift at a time. Last year 41 Renfrew residents bought a total $5,520 worth of gifts from the World Vision catalogue which offers gift options from livestock to medical supplies. In Ontario, 14,882 people spent almost $8 million and across Canada 92,149 people purchased $18 million in World Vision gifts. The spirit of the season is alive and well.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Candidate concern justified

To the editor: Re ‘Attack ads upset unsuccessful candidate’ (Renfrew Mercury, Nov. 25). John Pratt has every right, as well as I do, to bring it up now. This was done in 2006. Passive campaign, ha. There’s a credibility gap. Election newsletters should be kept positive and not be attacking the integrity of others, as used in another township with gossip. Facts are facts and fiction kills you.

Centenarian Derry inspiration to many STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@mercury.com

Renfrew native Kay Derry will be missed and remembered by many. The retired school teacher died Saturday at the Renfrew Victoria Hospital at the age of 104. Derry − who drove a car into her 90s and volunteered at the Bonnechere Manor into her late 90s − was an inspiration for many people. Those include Eleanor Donaldson, a friend since 1961. “I’m going to miss her so much, because she was a role model and an inspiration to all of us,” said the Renfrew resident. A remembrance service will be held at the McPhail & Perkins Funeral Home chapel at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 4. Nephew Ron Stewart of Burlington, who said he’ll be among all eight nieces or nephews in attendance, said his aunt was an incredible lady. Her love of the arts left a strong

impression on him, but he says she left a huge impression on many family members by always remembering the birthdays of nephews, nieces, the 15 grand nephews and nieces, and the 24 great grand nieces and nephews. Her penmanship also shone in notes to friends and family members over the years. Four years ago, on the occasion of her 100th birthday, Derry said she couldn’t explain her own longevity, but that she has always enjoyed life, been interested in people and kept herself busy. “I’ve been very, very fortunate,” she said in 2006. “I have a very loving family.” And growing old didn’t phase her. “It’s great to be old,” she also declared. “Perhaps it’s because I’ve been so fortunate to have so many young, young friends.” Derry was born Kathleen Derry as the eldest of six children of Allen and Elizabeth Derry. She graduated from Queen’s University before

spending a 41-year teaching career in Ottawa. Much of it was spent at Fisher Park School, which was the source of many long-lasting friendships with students she’d taught. She was a special person, said friend Donaldson, in alluding to her long-time friend’s “zest for life, her interaction with every age group, the way she accepted society change” and her commitment to community and friends. Derry was also a life member of the Renfrew and District University Women’s Club and a voracious reader. She also did telephone banking past the age of 100. “She could always see the good in everyone,” said Donaldson. The wake takes place this Friday, Dec. 3, at McPhail & Perkins Funeral Home from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations to Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church would be appreciated. - With files from John Carter

To the editor: I think that it is imperative for the people of Ontario to start petitions to get rid of Premier Dalton McGuinty and his Liberals if we want to have a decent life. Also, we should start petitions to stop the HST (harmonized sales tax blending provincial and federal taxes), just like they are in B.C. It looks to me, right from the start that McGuinty has tried to run a dictatorship. The people have no say. In my view, this government has done absolutely nothing good for the people. They have forced us to pay for Hydro’s debt. It is their debt, so they should be paying it themselves. Then he brings in the HST. We can’t afford it. Now he is going to force us to pay for Hydro’s upgrades. Hydro is bleeding people of their money and people are not going to be able to survive much longer. They are in dire straights now. There are so many people that have to go to the food banks just to survive. The only good thing to come out of all this misery is that the people who voted for the Liberals are suffering right along with the rest of us. What we need is a good honest government that will work for the people and get rid of all of McGuinty’s mistakes. Politicians should work for the people and not for themselves. I overheard a conversation the other way when a few people were talking about how expensive things are with the HST and that they can’t afford some things now. One person brought up the cost of Hydro and said that McGuinty should never have allowed that to happen. D.J.

Several big backers for Expo 150 celebrations STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Corporate sponsors are getting behind the County of Renfrew’s 150th-anniversary celebrations next June. Several sponsors were on hand Nov. 24 at the county headquarters in Pembroke to be thanked and recognized by county officials and other members of the Expo 150 organizing committee. The county has already contributed $200,000 for the June 9 to 12 event that will be held at the Pembroke airport. And more than $200,000 could be realized through corporate sponsorship, says public works director Dave Darch, who is chairing Expo 150’s corporate sponsorship program. “I guess I’d like to see about $225,000,” said Darch. “The funding is important because of the scope of the program. “What we’re putting on is going to require both the county money and the support of the business community.” Corporate sponsors are recognized by the financial extent of

their contributions. Diamond sponsorship is for $25,000 or more, while the next levels are platinum ($15,000), gold ($10,000), silver ($5,000) and bronze ($2,000). To date, diamond sponsors for Expo 150, are the Renfrew County branches of the Bank of Montreal, Atomic Energy of Canada Limited of Chalk River, and Eastway Contracting of Pembroke. Other major sponsors include M. Sullivan & Son of Arnprior that also made a recent $100,000 philanthropic contribution as part of its successful bid to build the new auditorium at Bonnechere Manor. Rick Sullivan was on hand to accept thanks, and a certificate of appreciation, for the Arnprior firm’s silver sponsorship of Expo 150. Other sponsors include Bonnechere Excavating, a bronze sponsor from Renfrew. Platinum sponsors, to date, are Jp2g Consultants and Lapointe’s Auto Group. The latter, whose businesses include Renfrew Chrysler, has signed on as official sponsor for Expo 150’s Renfrew County Idol event.

The County of Renfrew’s recognized these financial sponsors for Expo 150 celebrations as diamond, platinum, gold, silver or bronze supporters. The highest status is diamond, for those donating $25,000 or more. From left are Jeff and Mike Buske of Buske Office Equipment, Dan Bedard for both Eastway Collision and diamond sponsor Eastway Contracting, Steve Webster of Jp2g, Renfrew County Warden Don Rathwell, Expo 150 chairman Bob Sweet, Mark Plummer of Greenwood Paving, Rick Sullivan of M. Sullivan & Son, Shelley Rolland-Poruks of diamond sponsor Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. and Gary Melnyk of diamond sponsor Bank of Montreal - Renfrew County.

RENFREW COUNTY

The Renfrew Mercury - December 2, 2010

Our caregivers always place their patients’ overall safety at the top of their priority list—in fact, patient safety is in everyone’s job description at RVH. Your safety when entering the hospital doors should be at the top of your priority list too, and we have developed some new documentation to clarify key messages to patients. “As we prepare for our 2010 accreditation, there are many required organizational practices for patient safety that must be met. One of the key requirements is patient understanding related to their role in patient safety,” explains Christene Ferguson, vice-president of patient care services. Ferguson says staﬀ has worked hard on developing and implementing new

discharge instructions, patient booklets on admission, handouts in the emergency department, and safety brochures to go along with the new Eight Steps to a Safer Hospital Visit posters. “That was the purpose of our focus group held with patients. We have developed signage about eight steps to patient safety to highlight this awareness to both patients and families coming to RVH,” she adds. Working together and becoming familiar with our safety message is one way of providing faster, more eﬃcient care— especially when it comes to knowing your current list of medications and allergies. Have this information written out and kept with you at all times, insists Ferguson.

The RVH Auxiliary Gift Shop is now open evenings, 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., Monday to Friday. All Christmas items will be 20% off December 13–18.

The importance of proper hand hygiene is stressed as well. It can help to prevent the spread of germs to you and to those around you. Kelly Hebert, RVH’s health, safety and disaster preparedness coordinator, points out the four moments of hand hygiene: 1. Before initial patient/patient environment contact 2. Before aseptic procedures 3. After body ﬂuid exposure risk 4. After patient/patient environment contact.

RVH promotes both a scent-free and smoke-free environment. Please visit the Patient Safety link on our website, www.renfrewhosp.com, for complete guidelines on what is expected from patients who visit RVH. Above all, if you have a question about your care, please do not hesitate to ask any member of our health care team. Patient safety information is also available on the Canadian Patient Safety Institute’s website: www.patientsafetyinstitute.ca

Hand washing or using alcoholbased hand sanitizers–especially now that cold and flu season is upon us–is extremely important to reduce the risk of spreading infections. Whether you are coming to the hospital or not, you should wash your hands often with soap and rub for 10 to 15 seconds, covering all of the surfaces. Rinse off the soap and gently blot with a towel. RVH also has a falls prevention program in place that assesses each patient upon admittance. Patients who don’t feel stable enough to move on their own should wait for one of our staff to assist. For safety due to allergies and for the comfort of patients, visitors and staff, 368016

Day of goodbyes STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Expressions of thanks came from all five outgoing Renfrew County councillors and Warden Don Rathwell during the county council meeting Nov. 24. Rathwell isn’t leaving county council. He is completing his second of two terms as warden this year, but not seeking re-election for a third term. However, he will remain on county council as the representative for Whitewater Region Township. On the other hand, Bob Johnston of Horton, Ann Aikens of Deep River, John Hildebrandt of Madawaska Valley, Zig Mintha of Bonnechere Valley and Vance Gutzman of Laurentian Hills are leaving. Four of them did not run in the last municipal election, while Mintha was defeated in the race for mayor by Jennifer Murphy. “I would never have guessed two years ago, at my swearingin ceremony that we would be faced with the worst economic recession since the 1930s,” said Rathwell in his final warden’s address to start the meeting. ‘RAILWAY MAY GO SILENT’ “We would never have thought that the railway may go silent, and we would never have imagined that our forestry sector would take such a dramatic shift so quickly. “All these events were a result of global pressures and business decisions that we had no control over. However, there are areas that we do have control over, and there are many areas where we, as a council, have had success.” Rathwell then referred to such successes as approved projects

through Ontario’s Rural Connections program and funding for the Eastern Ontario Regional Network’s broadband initiative that will bring high-speed Internet to most of the county in the near future. He also mentioned the growth of the Taste of the Valley events, with the four events helping to showcase the made-in-RenfrewCounty products of more than 120 local producers. Rathwell also used his address to thank the outgoing council members: “I know all of you will keep busy in your communities, and I commend you for your years of service, and dedication to our residents and our communities.” An honorary gavel, mounted on a plaque, was presented to Rathwell by county councillors Audrey Green of Renfrew and Peter Emon of Greater Madawaska. She nominated and Emon seconded his 2010 nomination for a second term as warden. The outgoing county councillors each received an engraved stone plaque that read: “Thank you for your commitment and dedication to the residents of the County of Renfrew.” Hildebrandt said goodbye, but indicated county council hadn’t heard the last of him. He didn’t say why, but the day before he was named spokesman for a new organization (Ontario Biomass Energy Association) that is lobbying the provincial government for a higher feed-in tariff (FIT) rate for biomass, in efforts to save the future of the Ontario forest industry. “You can take the boy out of politics, but you can’t take the politics out of the boy,” Hildebrandt told county council.

RENFREW COUNTY Making your home or business accessible

A free public workshop Monday morning, Dec. 6 in Pembroke will focus on affordable solutions to make residential, business and retail buildings more accessible to all segments of society. Renfrew Reeve Audrey Green, who is the appointed elected official on the volunteer County of Renfrew Accessibility Advisory Committee, encourages any local home builder, business owner or person interested in accessibility issues

to take advantage of the workshop. “On Jan. 1, 2012, all businesses in the Province of Ontario will be required to make their establishments accessible to all members of society, so I think it is very important that our local business owners and home builders take part in this timely seminar,” Green says. “There are so many advantages to making our homes and businesses accessible to persons with

disabilities,” she adds. “Not only is it good business-sense, but it also promotes inclusiveness in our country.” For local home builders, she says, the workshop will feature expert panellists who have built many homes and buildings that offer many accessible and affordable features. Seating is limited and pre-registration is required with Bruce McIntyre at 613-732-5945 or Evelyn VanStarkenburg at 613-735-7288.

Change is coming, and part of that change is Dr. Robert Walker. Just over a week into his job, Dr. Walker addressed Renfrew County council about his new role as senior vice-president for Atomic Energy of Canada Limited’s nuclear laboratories. He stood before council Nov. 24 speaking in mostly general terms about his new position, and the nuclear industry’s and AECL’s potential future. Dr. Walker will lead AECL’s research and development efforts in physics, metallurgy, chemistry, biology and engineering. He will also guide the laboratories through AECL’s current restructuring in efforts to maintain its reputation as one of the world’s foremost nuclear research facilities. “Obviously, change is coming,” said Dr. Walker, whose appointment to AECL was effective Nov. 15. “The federal government, the bureaucracy, is seeking a mandate to create options for consideration.” Those options will include the “complex” issues of how much the federal government continues to contribute to the operation of the laboratories and how much is paid by other stakeholders. Whatever the mandate, Dr. Walker said he expects AECL’s mandate to be announced in early 2011. He will have some potential say, as a member of the core team making recommendations to cabinet. Meanwhile, the age of the nearly 60-year-old reactor at Chalk River remains a topic of potential concern for some. But not Walker, who says the reactor is in its best condition in 20 years, following recent and extensive repairs. Dr. Walker hasn’t worked at AECL for decades, but he began working at the laboratories in 1974, as a graduate student, five days after getting married. “It feels like I’m putting on a warm pair of socks,” he said. “Chalk River, that’s where I learned science.” Those same labs are also the knowledge base of the nuclear industry that employs 50,000 workers in Canada, said Walker. Those labs have an annual budget of $500 million for 2,800 staff, with 90 per cent of that budget coming from the federal government. That budget addresses three core missions, said Walker, namely research and development, the effective and safe management of radioactive waste, and the provision of radioactive isotopes for medical diagnostics. But no longer does the world rely just on AECL for those iso-

Time for a freshening up? Dr. Robert Walker topes. That supply is diversifying, “as it must,” said Walker, noting the government has confirmed commitment to isotopes production by AECL until 2016. Although there’s uncertainty about AECL’s future, Walker said he welcomed the news the same day he addressed county council. Ontario Energy Minister Brad Duguid had just announced the Ontario government will spend $33 billion refurbishing 10 nuclear reactors and purchase two more over the next two years As Dugid indicated: “To suggest we could move away from nuclear power is unrealistic. We need nuclear power. It’s clean, it’s non-emitting. It’s very much part of our efforts to build a cleaner energy future.” Dr. Walker said that was welcomed news because the proposed government activity will create a strong base for investment in the industry. The same day (Nov. 24), county council unanimously passed a resolution that supports the five principles established by groups that want AECL to be part of the worldwide nuclear renaissance. Those groups are the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers, the Society of Professional Engineers and Associates, the Ontario Nuclear New Build Council, the Chalk River Professional Employees Group, the Chalk River Employees Ad-hoc Task Force, and the Chalk River Technicians and Technologists. Those organizations urge the federal government to “immediately initiate a comprehensive study to identify the benefits of replacing the NRU (National Research Universal) reactor with another multi-purpose reactor to continue Canada’s leading work in materials using neutron beams, isotope development and nuclear engineering. Dr. Walker indicated just how big that renaissance may be. There are 400 nuclear reactors in the world, but noted the number could escalate to 4,000 by the year 2050.

Spectacular Royal Winter Fair for Cornerview Charolais STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Cornerview Willow 7W is in the spotlight after winning her senior yearling Charolais class and going on to win reserve grand champion female. From left are Brian Coughlin, judge Garner Deobald, Katrina Coughlin and a sponsor.

The last few years of Toronto’s Royal Agricultural Winter Fair have been good to Brian and Heather Coughlin of Cobden. Their Cornerview Charolais entries have had consistent success, with a grand champion cow last year, reserve grand champion cow and bull two years ago, and a grand champion cow three years ago. But there’s nothing to compare to the family showing at the November 2010 Royal Winter Fair. En route to capturing the prestigious accolades of premier exhibitor and premier breeder, the Coughlins’ entries excelled in practically every class they entered. From a possible 16 top-three finishes, they had 15. And even in the senior heifer class in which they placed sixth, their Cornerview Xquisite entry finished first. “It’s good, except it’s going to be hard to repeat. It was great,” said Brian, whose farm was founded in the early 1980s. Even better, success continues to be a family success. “It’s not a bit of a family thing. It is a family thing,” he says of himself, his wife and children Katrina, Brett and Cody. “We’ve probably been going (to the Royal Winter Fair) about 10 years

on a consistent basis. We’ve shown cattle a long time,” says Coughlin, whose Cornerview Charolais farm was recognized this summer for showing 25 years at the Shawville Fair. “It helps” he says of winning at such shows as the Royal Winter Fair. “It raises your profile. I don’t know if you get more money (per animal), but you get more customers.” And, perhaps even better, the Couglins have cattle friends from across the country whose paths they cross regularly. The summary of Cornerview Charolais’ success at the 2010 Royal Winter Fair looks like this: • Cornerview Nascar, winner of her junior heifer class; • Cornerview Xquisite, winner of senior heifer class and champion; • Cornerview Willow, winner of senior yearling class, junior champion and reserve grand champion female; • Cornerview Savana, reserve champion for mature cow; • Cornerview Xcalibre, second in senior bull calf class and reserve bull calf champion; • and first for get-of-sire class. Every animal the Couglins exhibited was home-bred. Cornerview Charolais farm is located on Snake River Line, just outside Cobden.

The Four Quarters release Pocket Full of Change

429224

The Four Quarters, comprised of singers Catherine Helferty, Rachel Helferty, Sarah McSheffrey and Lindsay Vaive, under the direction of Kevin McSheffrey, have just had their debut CD released in November by Crystal Ball Records. This CD has been in the works for almost two years. It is called A Pocket Full of Change, and features 21 songs, all by the Four Quarters, including two original songs written by Sarah and Kevin McSheffrey. After attracting the attention of song writer Bruce Hamby and Crystal Ball Records owner Ed Engel on YouTube, the Four Quarters had a single released on an earlier CD last fall, called Doo Wopin Around the World. Since then, they’ve been featured on

two other CDs. One was a single song, entitled Love at First Bite, written by Sarah and Kevin McSheffrey on the Crystal Ball Records’ annual Hallowe’en CD, also titled Love at First Bite. As well, the group had two songs put on Crystal Ball’s Christmas CD, Ho Ho Ho Here We Go Again. However, A Pocket Full of Change is the first CD to feature just the Four Quarters. The CD has been selling well for Crystal Ball Records, and is currently their second-best seller this month. The songs are mostly a mix of doo wop, and 1950s and 1960s-era songs, all in the four-part harmonic style which the group was known for during the years they performed at St. Joseph’s High School in Renfrew and throughout the community. Some of the tracks include Mr. Sandman, Sounds of Silence, California Dreamin’, Stand by Me, What a Wonderful World, and many others. The girls have all been a little overwhelmed by the attention and excitement generated by the CD. Here’s what they had to say. Catherine: “The CD looks and sounds great! It is sort of surreal. The CD insert looks amazing and it’s all pretty exciting.” Rachel: “I am not sure I can imagine people that I have never met buying our CD and listening to it, picking favourites, and listening to it like any other CD you would buy... but it is already happening!” Sarah: “Crystal Ball did a great job cap-

Noron Satellite Systems

turing the essence of our group on the CD. It’s a great representation and souvenir of our years of hard work.” Lindsay: “The whole journey has been very fun. Sometimes tiring, and sometimes hard, but it has been consistently fun and exciting to work on a project with 3 of your best friends, and with such a great director. “The CD is more that I could have imagined, it really captures our colourful dynamic, and the song selections feature some of our best renditions. Some of our favorites have been left off to entice us to make a second CD, but whatever happens in the future, I’m very thankful and blessed to have been a part of such a

250 Raglan St., Renfrew

wonderful group and to have this CD as a permanent reminder.” As for the future of the group, Rachel summed it up: “I hope that we can continue singing together as a fun hobby for many years to come.” Initially, the group had 200 CDs for sale, but these have been selling quickly, and they have about 75 left to sell. They can be purchased for $15 at the St. Joseph’s High School office, Barry Breen’s Insurance or by calling Kevin McSheffrey at 432-7208. They can also be purchased for $17.45 U.S. plus postage from Crystal Ball Records online. For more information contact Kevin McSheffrey 613-432-7208.

FOUR STRONG WINDS IN CONCERT Four Strong Winds will be guest performers at the Arnprior Community Choir’s annual Christmas concert Dec. 12. The St. Joseph’s High School students making up the most recent version of the quartet, from left, are Christine Helferty, Natalie Walters, Molly Helferty and Bailey Rogers.

The Renfrew Mercury - December 2, 2010

SPORTS

Raiders enter unchartered waters at OFSAA PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

It was a heart-stopping end to one of Renfrew Collegiate Institute’s greatest basketball seasons. The Raiders left it all out on the floor in their third game at the Ontario (OFSAA) high school senior girls basketball championship for AA schools Friday in Sarnia. RCI fell behind by as many as 11 points in the third quarter, and still trailed 35-26 after three quarters before rallying, only to lose by a single point, 42-41 to the Vaughan Road Collegiate Institute Vipers of Toronto in the consolation-round quarterfinal. The teams were as evenly matched as they were seeded, RCI 13th and the Toronto school 14th in the 18-team event. The Dougherty twins had 26 points between them with Caitlin netting 18 and Sarah eight for RCI. RENFREW COUNTY FIRST The Raiders are the first girls basketball team, not only in school history, but in Renfrew County history, to qualify for OFSAA. The Raiders were topped in early OFSAA encounters 44-26 by the seventh-seed St. Ignatius Falcons of Thunder Bay Thursday, and 44-29 by the fourth-ranked and eventual bronze medalist Kingsville District High School Cavaliers Friday. RCI trailed Kingsville by as few as five points late in the fourth quarter. Sarah Dougherty had a dozen points versus St. Ignatius, and Maddie Kubiseski 11 and Caitlin Dougherty six points against Kingsville, before their season-closing setback to Vaughan Road. But this result doesn’t take away from the Raiders 2010 season. RCI went 8-and-1 to finish first in the 2010 Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association before avenging their lone regular-season defeat to Arnprior with a dramatic 34-29 win over the Redmen to win the Renfrew County championship before a boisterous crowd Nov. 11 at the Grant Gymnasium. That game was highlighted by the Raiders overcoming a 26-13 halftime deficit. A week later, the Raiders were EOSSAA finalists with a 3-and-1

record in Kingston to become the school’s first senior girls basketball team in the long history of RCI to earn a trip to OFSAA. LASTING MEMORIES The 2010 senior girls basketball season is something all at RCI will soon not forget. Coaches Vicki Wilson and Adam Noack were obviously proud of their team. “The girls were a little star struck at first,” coach Noack said of OFSAA, “but they showed they could compete against the best teams in the province. “Hopefully this will pave the way for other county schools, and give our association some respect,” Noack said. “I can’t say when I have coached a team quite like this one,” coach Wilson observed. “The girls were an exceptional bunch of young women who were dedicated to our team and each other. “They truly played as a unit and followed the old adage ‘there is no I in team.’ That team mentality extended into the town as it took a whole town to get us to OFSAA. The community in Renfrew supported these girls financially and with many well wishes to allow us to have a remarkable experience. “We are all truly grateful and without the communities support we might not have had this opportunity,” Wilson said. “It couldn’t happen to a better group of kids,” Noack added. The OFSAA final came down to the top two seeds. No. 1-ranked St. Basil Saints of Sault Ste. Marie defeated Sarnia’s St. Clair Colts 43-33. NEW SPORTS SEASON The second Gordon E. Eady Annual Tradition boys basketball doubleheader takes place at the Grant Gymnasium this Monday (Dec. 6). The RCI Raiders host the Arnprior Redmen in pre-season hoops action. The senior teams take to the court at 3:30 p.m., followed by their junior counterparts at 5 p.m. The 2010-11 Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association boys basketball regular season gets underway the next day. The girls volleyball season swings into action for Renfrew teams on Thursday, Dec. 9.

The first senior girls basketball team to represent Renfrew County at OFSAA for AA schools is the 2010 RCI Raiders, in front row from left, Megan Blemkie, Paige Dillabough, Mae Donohue, Sarah Dougherty, Erika Jenkins, Caitlin Dougherty, Meghan Forgie, Mikaela Barnes; and standing, coach Adam Noack, Maddie Kubiseski, Brooke Senack, Gaelyn Turcotte, Hillary MacMillan, Kristy Anne Wytenburg and coach Vicki Wilson.

Phenomenal year for girls hoops It was a remarkable season for both Renfrew high school senior girls basketball teams. For the first time ever in Renfrew County history, let alone the school, a team from the Upper Ottawa Valley association qualified for the Ontario (OFSAA) championship as the RCI Raiders made the jump. The Raider gals gave it a good battle in the tournament which drew the best 18 AA senior girls basketball teams from across the province. In one of the three games they played in Sarnia, the Raiders were down by only five points to the eventual bronze medal-winning school before their opponent sealed the verdict late in the game. RCI lost their third game 4241, so they came home knowing they were competitive, and a worthy representative of Renfrew County. The Raiders reached OFSAA on the strength of three wins against a single loss at the Eastern Ontario (EOSSAA) champi-

PETER CLARK PETER’S PUTTERINGS onship in Kingston. Still, through all this success in 2010, I’m sure the girls and coaches might still say the highlight was their Nov. 11 comefrom-behind 34-29 victory over the Arnprior Redmen to win the Renfrew County championship, which allowed them to go to EOSSAA and later OFSAA. Now, I’m only guessing. Jaguars also successful: The St. Joseph’s senior girls hosted EOSSAA for A schools Nov. 17-18. Although the event was in their own backyard, the Jaguars were there legitimately as they were the top A school in Renfrew County in 2010 after an 8and-1 regular season and berth in the county semifinal. St. Joseph’s finished the six-team tournament with a 2-and-2 record and captured

the consolation title. However, the Jaguars narrowly missed becoming the county’s second representative to qualify for an OFSAA senior girls hoops event in 2010. A 25-23 setback in their second game forced St. Joseph’s to face the top seed in the semifinal, instead of a very beatable No. 2 ranked team. Reaching the final would have allowed the Jaguars to qualify for OFSAA. Still, it was a great season and left fellow students and staff at St. Joseph’s enjoying the Jaguars’ experience at EOSSAA. * * * The Toronto Argonaut teams of 1996 and 1997 were the last to win back-to-back Grey Cups prior to this year’s Montreal Alouettes. And for this week: The Saskatchewan Roughriders have now dropped two CFL championship games in a row. What team was the last to lose three consecutive Grey Cup appearances?

English lifts way to second in Ottawa

Fred English of Foymount finished second in the 125-kilogram Open class at the 2011 Ontario Benchpress Championship in Ottawa Nov. 20. English went 2-for-3 on his lifts,

bench pressing 180 kgs (397 pounds) and 185 kgs (408 lbs). English was incorrectly identified in the Renfrew Mercury of Nov. 25. The Mercury apologizes for the error.

Atom, Midget Wolves tournament champs PETER CLARK

peter.clark@metroland.com

Renfrew hockey teams garnered some hardware over the past couple of weeks. The Atom Timberwolves swept aside all opponents to capture top honours in Pakenham. Goaltenders Connery Campbell and Luke Moran both posted a shutout as the Wolves blanked the Mississippi Thunder Kings 4-0 and the Perth-Lanark Wings 5-0 before edging the Upper Ottawa Valley rival Arnprior Packers 4-3 in the final with Campbell between the pipes. Nicholas Crozier was the key catalyst offensively with two hat tricks and eight goals overall. Reid Barber and Brendan Hill added two goals, and Jayce Greer a single. Barber also pegged a three-assist game. The Atom Wolves also defeated the Deep River Knights 5-2 and Muskrat Voyageurs 6-2 in league play. Braedon Reinert, Barber, Hill and Crozier had two goals, and Simon Rose, Jared Burnette and Carter Bleeks singles. Both Campbell and Moran earned a goaltending win. Zach McIntyre allowed just one goal against and registered two shutouts as the Midget Wolves defeated the Char-Lan Rebels 2-0, Embrun Panthers 1-0 and Casselman Predators 2-1 to bring home the Alexandria tournament title. Brady Pender had two goals, and Brett Riopelle, Tyler Kelly and David Pilgrim solos. The Midget Wolves are at the Regional Silver Stick hockey tournament in Pembroke this weekend. The Wolves are in a division

with the Campbellford Colts, South Dundas Lions and Embrun Panthers. The Bantam Timberwolves made it to the semifinal round at the Silver Stick last weekend before falling 7-1 to the Manitoulin Panthers. The Wolves also dropped their opening contest 6-1 to the Ottawa Sting, but answered the bell with an 11-3 dismantling of the Embrun Panthers before blanking the Stirling Blues 2-0 to qualify for the playoffs. Renfrew got past the Loyalist Jets 3-2 in the quarterfinal on an Auston Pierce goal in overtime. Adam Martin led Renfrew snipers with five goals in the tournament. Rory Whalen and John Pettigrew (hat trick) added three goals apiece, Pierce and Drew Edwards two goals, and Austin Scheuneman, Billy Karras and Wyatt Zohr singles. Jonathan Chippure and Chloe Eady backstopped the Bantam Wolves throughout the tournament. Eady’s performance was highlighted by the shutout performance over Stirling. The Bantam Wolves host their annual eight-team tournament Saturday at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. The Peewee Wolves had a rough weekend at the Arnprior Packers tournament. The Renfrew squad lost 7-1 to Ottawa West and were blanked 3-0 by Athens before salvaging a 1-0 win over Casselman. Ryan Pettigrew notched the two Renfrew goals while goaltenders Cameron Iob and Colin Schwartz were both dealt a loss. Iob earned the shutout win over Casselman.

Tough week for UOV Ringette BEHIND THE GLASS

Low Cup updates ANDY SKLEPOWICZ Renfrew Curling Rink

With all leagues now into the second draw and everyone fully recovered from the Scots’ visit, it is a good time to update the results of the last two senior men Low Cup competitions. On Nov. 17, our two Renfrew teams travelled to Deep River. Rob Warren, Don Rouble, Jim Berg and Eric Craig played two great games to defeat the host teams 9-2 and 11-4, highlighted by the consistent guards that Eric set up to help the team control both games. Meanwhile, the team of Dave Eady, Jarda Papousek, Dwight Hayward and Barry Hanniman played two exciting games and defeated Deep River 8-7 in the first game. The game after lunch got off to a rough start and Renfrew found itself down 7-2 after five. But then the Eady-led foursome woke from their afternoon nap, took one, then stole three and two over the last two ends to complete the comeback 8-7. Usually four wins would mean a big jump in the cup standings but a strong Pembroke showing allowed them to almost match Renfrew’s great result end for end to maintain their big lead atop the standings. ACTION IN ARNPRIOR Two Renfrew teams made their way to the curling club in Arnprior. Renfrew was facing a tough challenge with the Warren foursome at an Ottawa Granite bonspiel. Dave Eady, Don Lowe, Jim Harbord and Norm Warren played well and won their games 10-4 and 10-7. Meanwhile, Charlie Ricard, Andy Sklepowicz, Eric Craig and Rory McKay played well in their first four ends to open a five-point lead but then the wheels fell off in an 11-7 loss. In the second game, after Charlie’s motivational talk, they employed the reverse strategy to fall behind by five in the first end and then played well to take a 108 win. Unfortunately, Pembroke recorded four wins over Deep River and extended their lead atop the loop. By the way, Rob’s team of Don Rouble, Jim Berg and Andy Humphries won their two games at Ottawa’s Granite CC to place second in the point spiel.

CAROLYN DOUCETTE The Upper Ottawa Valley Ringette novice rec team and Ottawa tied 5-5. Emma Kluke of Renfrew scored three goals and Jordan Benedict of Pembroke two.

Gatineau downed UOV 3-1. Shawville’s McKenna Richardson scored. The UOV novice C team, coached by Jeff Schwan, played two games in the city Sunday. Clarence Rockland won 10-4. Cobden natives Jamie Broome and Carolyn Wytenburg

clicked for the local squad. UOV lost a second match 5-4. Broome notched all four goals. The petite B team lost 5-2 and 3-1 to Nepean Sunday in Renfrew. Scoring for UOV were Renee St. Cyr of Pembroke, and Madison Stroud and Georgia Clemmer of Renfrew.

Iob new Wolves bench boss PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

The Renfrew Timberwolves have turned over a new page in their coaching history. Tony Iob, a member of the Italian hockey team at the 2006 Winter Olympic Games, and a part of Renfrew’s Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League championship team of 1988, has begun his quest for what Renfrew hockey fans hope leads to another banner or two on the walls of the MaTe-Way Activity Centre. With a record of 7-11and-3 halfway through the 2010-11 junior hockey season, the Wolves announced they had released Cal Smith last Tuesday evening (Nov. 23) and named Iob as his successor. The Wolves are in fourth place in the Valley Division. Iob is looking forward to stepping behind the bench of his hometown team. “It’s a good opportunity. It’ll be fun but it’ll also be a challenge,” he said. “We’ve got a talented team. We’ll have a disciplined, hard-

Wolves coach Tony Iob. working and hard-skating team.” “We want to create our own identity,” he adds. Iob, who turns 40 in January 2011, feels the experience gained throughout his years of playing should translate to success on the ice. After his junior B days, Iob played for both Kingston and Sault Ste. Marie in the Ontario Hockey League and, after being drafted by the Buffalo Sabres in 1991, suited up for the Rochester Americans. He has played professionally in Italy, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Iob was also a member of the 2006 Italian Olympic team and played in six

world championships. “After 17 years of pro and junior I’ve had a lot of coaches. We can instill a few things,” he said. “Each game is different, each period is different. You take it (make adjustments) as it comes.” Iob and wife Janet live at Hurds Lake and have two children, Cameron and Alexis. He has operated hockey schools and will be running his own school – Olympic Edge Hockey School – next summer. The hockey school includes office training which he will incorporate into his program with the Wolves. Iob also is a coach with the Peewee Timberwolves. Assistants Derek Scheuneman and Kip Mulvihill will be working alongside with the junior club. He is confident that with the talent the team has, they should be able to enjoy a promising second half of the 2010-11 season. “We want to make it a place where people want to play, and put fans in the seats,” he adds.

Timberwolves win coach Tony Iob’s debut behind the bench in Shawville PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

The Renfrew Timberwolves entered weekend play looking to put some space between themselves and the two teams below them in the Valley Division standings of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League. With wins over Pontiac and Stittsville, the fourth-place club may now set its sights on the teams ahead of them. The Wolves (9-11-and-3) trail the third-place Almonte Thunder by three

points, and second seed Arnprior Packers by seven. The Packers are in Renfrew at 8 p.m. Friday. WOLVES 9 SHAWVILLE 2 The Wolves were certainly bent on making coach Tony Iob’s debut a winning one. They scored early and often en route to a 9-2 Friday night win in Shawville. Renfrew took a 1-0 lead on a Dylan Zavitske goal just 35 seconds in, and were in command 5-0 before the game was 15 minutes old. Jesse Riopelle paced the

NAPA Auto Parts brought home top hardware from the Eganville peewee house hockey tournament with a 3-and-0 record last weekend. The Renfrew squad defeated a pair of Eganville teams 6-2 and 5-4, and, in between, downed Petawawa 5-2. Charlie Strader had five goals, Dawson Campbell and Hunter Wright three apiece to lead NAPA. Brandon Hanniman and Jared Leclaire added a pair and Alysa Essiambre one. Logan Wright collected five assists and Hunter Wright three while Braedon Vincent held the fort between the pipes. NAPA also defeated Pembroke 7-1 and Petawawa 3-2 in league play, while losing 2-0 to Eganville. Hunter Wright scored four goals, and Campbell (2G, 3A), Strader (2G, 2A) and Evan Zohr two each. B.R. Fulton Construction tied Petawawa 2-2 and blanked Cobden 6-0 behind Jordan Vandersleen’s third shutout of 2010-11 and four goals from Chase Parkinson. Lindsay Fulton (1G, 3A), Connor Fulton, Alex Markus and Brendan Barber added singles. Carter Atkins earned the netminding win as Scotiabank doubled Arnprior 6-3. Brad Shean and Cole Turcotte carded two goals, and Caleb Coulas and Reid Hall others. Tyson Johnston earned his third shutout of the 2010-11 season in Canadian Tire’s goalless draw in novice house action. Renfrew Metro lost 5-0 to Beachburg while the Rink Rat Pro Shop lost three games, 5-3 to Pembroke, a 10-2 decision to Beachburg and 6-3 in Cobden. Justin Schutt had five goals in the three games, and Connor Zohr a pair. Barker’s Collision Centre lost 5-2 in Pembroke and tied Beachburg 3-3 in the atom loop. Cody Mackin had two goals, and Hunter Gilchrist, Cally Dunbar and Devin Limlaw singles.

Nicholas Wright pegged all three Farrell’s markers. Budget Roofing and goaltender Carter Blimkie got on a roll with wins over Barry’s Bay 6-3, Pembroke 5-4 and Petawawa 2-1 in bantam action. Justin Knight-Locke, Tyshawn LaFont and Jonathan Vezina had two goals; Calum Chalmers, Ayden McLeod, Cody Smith, Bryley O’Shea, Justin Visinski, Carter Briscoe and Justin Pearse singles. Fraser’s Clothes Shop edged Eganville 2-1. Nicholas Hazen and Brandon Kelly scored in support of goaltender Jonathan Carlson.

The Pontiacs actually climbed back to within three goals at 5-2. The Wolves Mike Rosebrook made a crucial stop off Shawville’s Andre Fluegel in the dying seconds of the middle period. Lepine answered with a back-breaking shorthanded tally seven ticks from the period’s conclusion.

WOLVES 6 STITTSVILLE 2 The Wolves made the Stittsville Royals pay for their sins in a penalty-infested 6-2 win at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex Sunday afternoon. All six Renfrew goals came on powerplays in a game shortened by 10 minutes. Ice time ran out as a result of a third period melee that resulted in three players from each team getting thrown out of the game. The teams exceeded the 200 penalty-minute mark.

Had the game continued, the Wolves would have remained on the powerplay for the foreseeable future. Jesse Riopelle and Tyler Charbonneau notched two goals apiece, and Mitch Parker and Steven Powell singles for the Wolves. Goaltender Richard Barr blocked 19 shots in the victory. “The kids really responded well to what we told them,” Iob observed of the Wolves’ success in the two games since he and assistants Derek Scheuneman and Kip Mulvihill took over behind the

Continued from Page 11 “I’m going to miss it (council), I’m sure … but I’m going to be hanging around.” Johnston, the mayor of Horton, was even briefer, saying,

“It’s been a slice of life the last seven years (here) and we’ll be seeing you down the road.” The only departing female county councillor, Aikens said, “I will miss you all incredibly … It’s been a real honour to represent my community at this table.”

Mintha, who said it has been a pleasure serving on county council, left a final thought. “I thought I was going to change the world (when I joined council),” he said. “But you know what changed? Me.”

Outgoing Vance Gutzman of Laurentian Hills was also reflective, and brief, in his farewell comments after serving seven years on county council. Gutzman figured he had requested the second-highest num-

ber of recorded votes at council, next to former county councillor Gordon White. Gutzman noted he didn’t win one of his recorded votes, but that he respected his colleagues’ right to disagree.

FROM THE OLD FILES

THEY ARE DIPLOMATIC ALSO NON COMMITAL: Different companies selling gasoline in Renfrew have responded to a communication sent them by Renfrew Town Council complaining that there is discrimination shown in the matters of gasoline prices. Renfrew pays a cent more per gallon than Arnprior does and four cents more than is the case in Ottawa. Responses by the companies are diplomatic and non-committal except for the fact that they say a representative will call, but so far no representative has called and no such call is expected by Council, which feels that something more than a formal protest may be necessary

NOVEMBER 25, 1970 MAY DOUBLE WATER RATES: Water rates are going up in Renfrew. The only uncertain facet of this fact is just how much they are going to jump. A report on water supply and treatment within Renfrew prepared by J.R. Richards and Associates of Ottawa estimated that costs would increase as much as 88.3 per cent. This could mean that a home owner now paying $39 per year could have to pay an additional $34.55 per year per year. The report, which was reviewed by council members last week at a separate meeting, showed the reason for the proposed increase was the updating of the local filtration plant and improvements in the water distribution system within the community. AGENTS TO BE REMOVED FROM RAILROAD STATIONS: It was learned over the weekend that the Canadian National Railways has been granted permission by the Canadian Transport Commission to remove agents from several stations in Ontario and Quebec. Included in the station’s listed were Renfrew and Eganville. As long as the stations are serviced by passenger trains they should be kept clean, heated and lighted.

to bring results. A SILVER COIN MINTED IN 1816: Michael Shields of Brudenell sends to The Mercury a silver coin bearing the date 1816. The one plain thing on the coin is the date. So near as can be determined here the piece of silver is a sixpence coined during the reign of George III. It is a little too much battered to be held in high value by any collector. For instance, one side of the of the coin is entirely defaced, and this was done through some other action than pocket wear. If the whole coin were as good as that part which bears the date 1816, some collectors would probably pay Mr. Shields at least $18.16 for it.

MR. E.J. STEWART CENSUS OVERSEER: The next Dominion Census is to be taken in 1911, as readers of The Mercury are aware from a series of articles published in these columns within the past few months bearing different features of the enumeration that is to be made. This week a step of more local interest in the process is to be noted — the appointment of Mr. E.J. Stewart, barrister, to the position of Census Overseer for South Renfrew. Mr. Stewart will be in charge of the enumerators who will do the work of collecting information in the several municipalities; and this appointment of Mr. Low’s will meet with general approbation. LOCALS: Mr. and Mrs. J.C. Hyett of Kingston announce the engagement of their second daughter, Annie May, to Mr. Charles R. Walister, of Kingston. The marriage is to take place quietly on December 7.------ Mr. Wm. Fishenden arrived home on Monday from Buckingham, where he spent the last eight months. His return makes matters look brighter here in connection with amateur hockey. He, however, took a trip to Ottawa on Thursday.----- There are prospects of still another industry in Renfrew the manufacture of engines and kindred machinery. One of the gentlemen concerned was looking over local conditions this week, taxation, shipping facilities, etc. He was not a bonus hunter.

DINNER FOR SENIORS Lewis Johnston of the Matacushie community development programs presents a cheque to Pine Valley Restaurant owner Carol Kauffeldt. Funds were raised at a seniors dinner through the sale of Nevada tickets. The dinner drew more than 60 people. “It’s a pleasure for me, being the president of the organization, to help the children and seniors of the Griffith, Denbigh and Matawatchan area. We will be helping out other seniors and children in the future,” Johnston said. “I’d like to thank Carl and Bert Kauffeldt for the use of the Pine Valley Restaurant to serve such a meal, treasurer and secretary Betty Johnston for helping to make this event possible, and to the band Ryan and Friends for supplying the music.”

This is Radke’s second performance with the Pembroke Symphony Orchestra. “Here is a chance to hear her velvety, soprano voice again or for the first time as she serenades the audience with popular favourites from the Messiah and Bach’s Christmas Oratorio and leads the ever-popular hymn sing-along. “It is great to have a professional singer lead us along this year,” organizers say.

The Salvation Army in Renfrew opened its Christmas kettle campaign at Wal-Mart Nov. 24. At the same time, the Salvation Army erected its angel tree for the 2010 Christmas season. Opening the Christmas kettle campaign, from left, are Renfrew councillor Gail Cole, Renfrew Wal-Mart assistant manager Chris Bowes, Salvation Army family services co-ordinator Jane Forrest and Salvation Army Major Jeananne Wirachowsky. Forrest noted $22,000 was raised last year. Major Wirachowsky added that collections at this season’s Wal-Mart kettle did very well on the first day. Presents for kids of all ages can be dropped off at the angel tree. Donors can match their gift to the stated age and gender listed on each angel hanging from the tree.

Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support

As the days grow shorter and the temperatures drop, we at Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support start to gear up for the upcoming winter, arranging for Home Maintenance workers who are willing to do snow removal. If you need help with snow removal or getting your yard ready for the winter, please call our office and we would be happy to find a worker to assist you. Indoor home maintenance workers are also available to help you around the house on a regular basis or on a one time basis. At Renfrew Seniors’ Home Support we realize that winter can be a more challenging time of the year for seniors as the weather can make getting out and about difficult. To help, we have a number of services that can make getting through the winter a little easier. Friendly visitors bring a ray of sunshine to those that they visit while Telephone Security Check volunteers ensure that everything is well. To ensure proper nutrition we have frozen meals available to order and a grocery delivery program. Winter driving can be a challenge and if you do need to go out of town for a medical appointment, we have drivers who would be willing to take you. For any of our services, a call to our office, 432-7691, will get the process started. The first snow always brings with it the anticipation of Christmas. One of our favourite events of the year will be taking place on December 9th at the RCAF Wing when we will be hosting our annual Christmas luncheon catered by the Wing. Barry Martin and Country Favourites will once again be providing the music starting at 11:30 a.m. We had such a fun time last year with our auction and bake sale that we will be having them again this year along with a 50/50 draw. Tickets for this event are $10 and are available at Aikenhead’s Drug Store and through our office until Dec. 6. We hope to see you there

Getting to know … Pascal Leclaire

By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com Pascal Leclaire gets paid to stop the puck. But there is a whole lot more to the Ottawa Senators goaltender than what goes on between the pipes. Among other things, Leclaire is a wine enthusiast who took an off-season trip to Bordeaux, France, to see exactly what goes into making some of his favourite vintages. The Senators stopper is also a whiz in the kitchen who made a summer appearance on a television show featuring Ricardo, a popular Quebec chef. Leclaire took some time out to talk about two of his off-ice pas-

sions and the game he loves:

Q: What is your favourite minor hockey memory? A: Playing in the peewee tournament in Quebec City. It was the year the Nordiques left town. Our team had the Canadiens jerseys on and we did the opening (game). There were about 15,000 people there and we all got booed. I was 12 years old and I remember that. It was fun to be a part of it. Q: If you weren’t a goalie, what position would you want to play? A: I started as a defenceman when I was a kid because my dad wanted me to learn how to skate. But I wouldn’t be playing in the

I learned you have to keep an eye on it all the time. He likes to talk a lot and I’m the same way. We kept talking and the potatoes were starting to stick in the pan. It kind of looked bad. Q: Your favourite websites to visit? A: I subscribe to the Robert Parker site (www.erobertparker. com). He’s the guy who does all the wine tasting. Before I buy wine, I like going there to see his notes. I go on CNN every day to see what’s going on in the world. Q: What’s in your iPod right now? A: I like the old Michael Jackson music a lot. All pop music, rap, R & B … I pretty much listen to everything but country music. Q: Your favourite TV show? A: I’ve always liked The Simpsons and South Park. Pretty light stuff. And I watch the Food Network quite a bit, too. Q: What do you like to read? A: I’m not a big book reader. I’m more of a magazine guy. It depends on my mood. I’ll read some of the paparazzi stuff, wine stuff, food stuff … pretty much everything.

NHL if was still a defenceman. Q: Your all-time favourite hockey player? A: Patrick Roy. He’s an easy choice for a Montreal kid. Q: If you’re the person doing the cooking, what’s on the menu for dinner? A: I do a little bit of everything. I actually cook a lot at home. I enjoy cooking quite a bit. In the summer, we do a lot of barbecues. Me and my buddies, we eat a lot of meats. I’ve started making risottos, too. I like making them a lot. Q: What’s your favourite wine? A: Either a French Bordeaux or an Italian Barolo. One of those two. Q: What did you discover about wine when you went to Bordeaux over the summer? A: It was just a chance to meet the people who make it. What impressed me the most is all the attention they pay to the grape itself. They were explaining that when they make a nice wine, they pick one grape at a time by hand and if there’s a scratch on it, it goes into a second (level) batch of stuff. Q: What’s the best cooking tip you learned from Ricardo? A: We did a potato gratin and

AT THIS

It’s been a slow start out of the gate for the defending Northeast Division champions, who have been better performers on the road than at home. The play of the Sabres’ Vezina Trophy-winning goalie of a year ago, Ryan Miller, has mirrored that of his teammates, with inconsistency and injuries plaguing one of the NHL’s top stoppers. Rookie Tyler Ennis has been a revelation up front, where Derek Roy, Thomas Vanek and Tim Connolly remain the offensive leaders. Meanwhile, Buffalo’s other trophy winner from a year ago, top rookie Tyler Myers, is off to a sluggish start on the blue line, which has gotten a boost from the play of Jordan Leopold.

Christmas is here! What’s on your Christmas List?

A visit to mega dairy operation There are no mailboxes and no farm signs at the road –nothing to identify the farms – at any of the mega dairy farms I saw in the mid-San Joaquin Valley of California. The Central Valley is a rarely visited arid plain. It is also home to the largest dairy farms on the planet. Tulare County is the centre of the state’s dairy industry, with around 500,000 dairy cows. Add heifers and calves and you have over a million head. It’s no wonder the farms don’t like visitors showing up. They could be part of an anti agriculture group or an animal activist organization. I didn’t expect a friendly reception when I got out of the car and walked over to the milkhouse of one such operation in Tulare County this past October. A tall man came out of an office and headed straight for me. I told the man my wife and I were on a tour of California and I wanted to see some big dairy operations close up and take some photos. “We don’t have these kinds of dairy farms in Ontario,” I said. “Only a few milk 500 cows at most.” The man meeting me was the manager of the farm. He told me if I want to see big operations, this isn’t the one to see. They only milk 3300 cows. Much larger ones are found 10 and 20 miles away -- one milks 9500, the other 15,000 cows. We had driven by numerous mega dairies. For a first time visitor, the sight and scale of the farms is overwhelming –enormous open-air sheds, mountains of cov-

MAYNARD VAN DER GALIEN RURAL ROUTES ered feed under plastic. Feed is an expensive commodity; everything is covered. Nothing is wasted. I wanted to take a few photos of the massive barn beside me. I had some questions. I showed him my hands –clean, big working hands. That did the trick. “Sure,” he said, “as long as the photos don’t end up on the Internet somewhere.” I couldn’t believe my luck. My wife and her sister-in-law –our driver --who would drive us 6,000 km from our starting point in B.C., stayed in the car. The farm manager and I exchanged a lot of information in a 15-minute conversation. They get 15-cents a pound for their milk. It’s less than half of what Ontario farmers get. They take off 7-8 cuts of alfalfa a year. All the land is irrigated. The shortage of water in California is a huge concern. No one bothered me as I took photos. I walked over to a newly seeded field to check the soil. It was the most horrible soil I had ever seen --sandy with egg-size rock-hard lumps that wouldn’t break up in my hand. It made me glad to be farming in Renfrew County.

NATURE

Rough-legged hawks down from north Karen Kelly from the Shawville area has seen a number of rough-legged hawks this fall. The birds are migrating from their Arctic summer range to their winter range. When winter temperatures are above normal and snow cover is below normal, rough-legged hawks spend the winter with us. Large areas of flat land are the perfect hunting spots for these hawks. Clarence Bos also saw rough-legged hawks hunting in the fields on the Queen’s Line. Rough-legged hawks come in two phases, a dark one and a light one. Light phasebirds show considerable amounts of light buff feathers above and below, a tail that is white at the base with a wide, dark brown middle band and a white tip. Dark-phase birds have a dark head, underparts and wing linings. It should be noted that birds of prey perch in an upright position whereas crows and ravens bend forward on their perch. Their habit of hovering about 100 feet (30 metres) above their chosen hunting spot is diagnostic. They drop down on their prey in stages. When they are 15 or 20 feet (three to six metres) above their prey, they drop very quickly to seize their victim. MORE SUGGESTIONS This is from last week’s e-mail sent by Terry Pierce: I purchased several sheets of window cling butterfly images, all colours and

JIM FERGUSON SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE shapes and put them on the inside of the windows. I also placed some hanging ornaments on strings in front of each window so that they wave in the wind. We still get about half a dozen birds crashing each year. So, two weeks ago, I decided to put the butterfly images on the outside of the windows. Since then we have not had any collisions between birds and windows. Even the juncos have been free from injuries. At Christmas, I use colourful tree ornaments to add to the mix. It requires some effort but it works. Terry Pierce, Cobden Thank you, Terry, for these practical suggestions. Johanna Hartwig rescued an immature cardinal after an encounter with a window. It took a few hours for the bird to recover but once it got its bearings it flew off. We hope it doesn’t try the stunt again. Andrea Cruise in Almonte saw a pileated woodpecker foraging on the berries of her Virginia creeper. In summer this woodpecker, our largest, feeds mainly on insects (75 per cent) with some fruit, acorns and sap. In the winter when the ground is snowcovered they live on a diet of dormant ants which they find in dead trees. See Hawk’s Eye, page 41

Continued from Page 40 Pileated woodpeckers have a year-round territory and are pair bonded. They scout their territory and call loudly from every corner, warning other woodpeckers to stay clear. The adults roost in separate cavities, the male in last year’s nest site, and the female in the current nest.

Each week we feature animals from the Arnprior and District Humane Society that are up for adoption.

SNOW BUNTINGS Ruby and Jim Vieland saw a flock of about 10 snow buntings near Cobden. Buntings feed in open, weedy fields, running from plant to plant to pick up seeds. They fly low over the ground for short distances. The birds at the back of the flock fly to the front making the flock appear as if it is rolling along. EVENING GROSBEAKS Yvette and Lawrence Blimkie have a flock of evening grosbeaks at their feeders that is 90 per cent males. Females and young travel south for the winter while the males and a few females remain here. As spring approaches and the females and young return as adults, the flocks will contain half females and half males. The Blimkies have a great gray owl hunting in the area near their home. The bird was very likely attracted by the presence of mice at their feeders. On their home range on the tundra the owls depend on lemmings for food. When the lemming population crashes, the birds have to move south or starve. DATE TO REMEMBER Our Christmas Bird Count this year

will be held Dec. 18, 2010. This change was made to accommodate those with families in different towns and cities for Christmas. If you wish to participate, please call. Feeder counters make a tally of the different species at their feeders and, where possible, a count of the individual birds. This requires about 30 to 60 minutes during the day.

# 3849 Buzz

# 3643 Jimmy

Buzz is gentle and easygoing and would make a great pet in a home with children. He seven-month-old neutered male was brought to the shelter with his sister to ﬁnd new homes. He is a sweet, affectionate little cat who loves attention. Buzz likes to be held and cuddled and is playful and curious. Buzz is a quiet kitten who likes other cats.

Can you give this handsome kitty a home for Christmas? Jimmy, a one-and-a-half-year-old male, has been at the shelter since January, when he was brought in to ﬁnd a new home because his owners were moving. Jimmy is shy when meeting new people, but once he is comfortable he is very affectionate and loving. He loves other cats and would be best suited in a home with at least one other cat. Jimmy would do best in a quiet home - he is playful but also likes his quiet times napping in the sunshine. Jimmy is an indoor only cat.

Christmas is a time of charity at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School On Thursday, Nov. 25 Ms. Deborah Enright’s art classes hosted an art show and sale. Many paintings, drawings and glass artworks were on display and available for sale. Those who attended seemed to enjoy the exhibit and the opportunity to get in a little Christmas shopping. Remaining items will still be available for sale to students during lunch hour. The proceeds from this sale will be divided between the Dominican Republic team and future art programs at the school. A reminder to all those who ordered Florida oranges and grapefruit through the music department, we are still expecting delivery early in December. Delivery of these delicious citrus treats is very weather dependant and students will be contacting those who placed or-

The sale of tickets for the popular draw also continues. The top prizes are $500, $300 and $200, with tickets available from Lions Club members up to and including the day of the parade.The parade starts at 1 p.m. Those entering floats are asked to contact Donna at 613649-2977. • A feature on the new book, Charlotte: The Last Suffragette, said Rnfrew native and Ottawa Mayor Charlotte Whitton lost the mayoral election in 1956. She did not. In 1956 Whitton did not run for municipal office. Instead, she unsuccessfully sought a Conservative seat in the House of Commons. Also, the feature incorrectly said Whitton’s long-time companion, Margaret Grier, died in 1942. Grier actually died in 1947.

Thank You! We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the tremendous support and good wishes extended to both Judy and I at the recent fundraiser organized on my behalf to assist with my “liberation” treatment in Costa Rica on January 11th, 2011. It was very discouraging when the Canadian government and the MS Society announced that Canada would not be part of this procedure. Hopefully, in time, those of us who undergo this treatment will open doors for other MS patients and some day, God willing, a cure for multiple sclerosis. Over the years we have witnessed many incidents where this amazing community of Renfrew came together to lend a helping hand. Once again, the Renfrew community has provided an opportunity, this time to me and my family, to make a life situation easier. Judy and I will be eternally grateful for the overwhelming caring, support and encouragement shown to us in so many ways and sincerely thank you all. We would especially like to thank Allan & Donna Grose; Pat St. Michael & Dianne Mulvihill; the Rusty Blades hockey team; and, of course, Lianne Stubinski and the wonderful Legion family for organizing this unbelievable event. Thank you to all of the awesome bands that generously donated their time to play for everyone’s enjoyment. To all who donated their time, food, printing of tickets and posters, the individuals and businesses who donated prizes – thank you. ‘Thank You’ seems too inadequate to express our gratefulness and appreciation. Sincerely Bob & Judy Hunter

God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be, He closed his arms around you And whispered “Come with me”. In tears I saw you sinking, I watched you fade away, My heart was almost broken, You fought so hard to stay. But when I saw you sleeping, Peacefully from pain, I could not wish you back To suffer so again. So keep your arms around him Lord, And give him special care, Make up for all he suffered And all that seemed unfair. Gone from my sight, still in my heart Glady

Kay is survived by nieces and nephews Ann Kingston (Charles), Gregor McGregor (Margaret) of Vancouver B.C., Elizabeth “Libby” Bracht (Edgar) of Toronto, Ronald Stewart (Bonita) of Burlington, Elizabeth “Beth” Dubois (Richmond) of Rialto CA, Martha Folkes (Peter) of Markham, Valarie King (Scott) and Robert Derry of North Bay. She will be sadly missed by 15 grand nieces and nephews and 24 great grand nieces and nephews. Kay graduated from Queen’s University, Arts 1930, and taught in Ottawa at the school of commerce, Glebe, and Fisher Park Collegiate from 1931 until her retirement in 1972 when she moved back to the family home in Renfrew. Always active, she was a volunteer with the Bonnechere Manor Auxiliary, a member of Queen’s Alumni Association, University Women’s Club, the United Church Women and Trinity St. Andrew’s United Church. Special thanks to her caregivers, especially neighbours Margaret and Russ MacKenzie and Terri Fisher who for many years provided Kay with love and attention.

David Vice VICE, David Anthony 1945 - 2010 Our hearts are broken by the sudden loss of David, a loving and loved husband of Claire (Davern), treasured father of Mark, Julie (Andrew) Turkstra, and Matthew of British Columbia, and adored “Papa” of his two beautiful granddaughters Quinn and Addison. David is survived by his brother Peter (Margaret) Vice and sister Brenda Vice (Robert) all of Ottawa. Brother-inlaw of Bernie (Edie) Davern, Rita (John) Ricottone and Joanne Urban. Loved and remembered by many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents Matthew (Tibby) and Clare, sisters Mary Clare, Ann and Margaret Mary (Pug). After growing up in Renfrew and completing his education in Ottawa, David moved to Hamilton where he began his career in Administration at St. Joseph’s Hospital from 1970-1975. Following this, he was the District Services Manager of the Hamilton Branch of the Ministry of Community and Social Services. In 2001, he retired from the Region of Hamilton. David was an outstanding and tireless worker in the community contributing his talents as Chairperson of the Hamilton United Way in 1991; he was an executive member and coach of the Ancaster Youth Soccer Club, and involved in Ancaster Minor Hockey and Veteran’s Slo Pitch. He was also an active member of St. Ann’s Parish where he was chairperson of the Pastoral Council and other church committees. His warm and caring spirit led him to volunteer in numerous charitable organizations. During his retirement years, Dave’s passion for golf was spent on the greens of Copetown Woods. Still, the spirit and love of David’s life were his wife and family. Funeral Mass was celebrated at St. Ann’s Ancaster on Monday, November 22 at 10:30. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or Neighbour to Neighbour Centre. The streets of old Ancaster will be lonely without Dave. Our lives will be empty without your smile and laughter. CL22389
