Pilot Louis Brown rediscovered STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

The Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club hosted the annual Renfrew Rumble at the AFAC Wing. It was a big day for the locals as Renfrew grapplers earned 84 medals.

– Page 29 –

The Renfrew Mercury story published Feb. 9, 2012 — Who were you, Louis Brown? — met with quick response from several individuals.

Peter Gower of Kingston was looking to find out more about Brown, since he had some Kingston roots and will appear on the memorial military wall to be dedicated at Kingston’s Memorial Arena later this year. So he contacted The Mercury, who published a short news story about Gower’s search.

As it turned out, Louis Brown was a Royal Air Force casualty in May 1941, three years before his brother James was also killed, in a Dakota aircraft, during training in England. Both were initially underage and inadmissible for the Canadian air force.

According to James Brown’s service records and attestation

paper, James enlisted in the RCAF in June 1941 after initially turned down in April 1941 when still underage. James’s birthdate was May 1923.

An initial stumbling block to learning more about Louis Brown was the fact he wasn’t really Louis Brown, but Walter Louis Brown, even though practically everyone around Douglas, Lake Dore and Renfrew knew him as Louie.

Gower came across Brown’s name as a student at Regiopolis College in Kingston (now Regiopolis-Notre Dame Catholic High School) and later in the June 1941 pages of the Kingston Whig Standard that announced his death during the Second World War. Gower also knew that Louis Brown’s brother, Joseph, worked in the Ward and Hamilton’s Drug Store in Kingston, and that their father was Dr. Brown of Renfrew (who initially lived in Douglas).

That Louis did not appear on official websites of the dead was con-

fusing to Gower, until the flood of feedback indicated that the young military man had been baptized with the first name of Walter.

The Mercury contacted, or was contacted by, various militaryand non-military people.

They included Sheldon Davis, who played in the same summer neighbourhood as Louis Brown.

Davis, now 83, vividly recalls those summers on Lake Dore where the Davises and Browns were next-door neighbours.

As an adolescent in 1939 or 1940, Sheldon says he remembers watching Louie, who was 17 or 18, chipping golf balls on the gravel road next to the kiosk where the Brown family children sold chocolate bars and ice cream.

Louie was one of seven children of Dr. Walter Brown and wife Eulalia, a nurse by trade. Their other four children were Paulina, Teresa, Kay and Bliss.

See LOST, Page 3

Dugald Jamieson of Renfrew was sentenced Tuesday morning to 12 years in prison for the killing of girlfriend Carol-Anne Brunet in her Hall Avenue, Renfrew apartment in May 2010.

The Crown, under the direction of Assistant Crown Attorney Peter Hageraats, had requested 12 to 15 years. The co-defence counsel of Richard Morris and Victoria Legris had asked for seven.

“I just want to say that justice was served for my mom,” said daughter Stephanie Brunet of Renfrew following the sentencing.

Jamieson, now 49, originally faced first-degree murder charges, but that was later reduced to second-degree. He also faced a charge for breach of probation.

After pleading guilty in January 2012 to manslaugher charges in the death of Brunet, 54, Jamieson faced a two-day sentencing hearing before Justice Timothy Ray in Pembroke Superior Court last week.

In his 11-page decision, Justice Ray outlined the medical background, provided by pathologist Dr. Christopher Milroy in testimony last week.

Justice Ray also noted he didn’t think Dr. Milroy was qualified to say that a responsible adult would have known there was a wound that required medical attention. In last week’s testimony Dr. Milroy said Brunet died of peritonitis, from which people don’t normally die because they seek medical attention. Brunet’s friends did not seek medical help until it was too late.

12-year sentence is great, says Brunet’s sister

Red flags, on road maintenance, waved by Giuliani v. Halton case STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

“How much extra salt is going to get scattered across this province?” asked Admaston-Bromley Coun. Michael Donohue.

Apparently, a whole a lot in the years to come.

At least that’s one of the conclusions being drawn following a special alert to Ontario municipalities by the Ontario Municipal Insurance Exchange (OMIE) and the Ontario Good Roads Association (OGRA).

A recent decision by the Ontario Court of Appeal, involving the Town of Milton and the Region of Halton and a motor vehicle accident on an icy road, upheld a trial judge’s decision that found the municipalities 50 per cent at fault.

The case is referred to as Giuliani v.

Halton.

In the special-alert correspondence dated Feb. 8, 2012, OMIE executive director Linda Boyle said the decision has “serious implications for Ontario municipalities who can no longer rely on the Minimum Maintenance Standards as a defence against road claims, as originally intended by the legislators.”

In the same letter, she also said OMEX insurance company (of which Milton is a long-standing member), had decided to appeal this ruling to the Supreme Court of Canada.

The application was filed by the deadline of Feb. 20.

OMEI says a decision of whether to grant the application to the supreme court could take three to six months.

“As a long-standing municipal insurer,” Boyle also wrote in the Feb. 8 letter, “we recognize the importance of challenging this ruling because of the financial im-

pact it could have on municipalities.”

“This is going to be big for all municipalities,” said Admaston-Bromley roads superintendent Chris Kunopaski.

He said Minimum Maintenance Standards remain an important guideline for municipalities, but that they may not be enough to protect municipalities.

In explaining and summarizing the implications of the Court of Appeal ruling, Admaston-Bromley Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe said due diligence has to be as high as ever.

She stressed that for Admaston-Bromley road patrols need to be the No. 1 priority.

Road patrols, she added, need to be accompanied by record keeping of roads maintenance and weather monitoring.

“It’s all about the ice before it becomes ice,” said Briscoe.

In other words, look for more sand to be used in Admaston-Bromley and every municipality for road maintenance during cold, inclement weather.

OGRA, in indicating why municipalities should be concerned, says the recent decision “appears to impose liability for failing to prevent the formation of ice, suggesting that, whenever it snows, no matter what the depth of the accumulation, municipalities now must take steps to prevent the formation of ice.”

Meanwhile, OGRA advises that municipalities with Level of Service (LOS) policies that exceed the MMS “should make reasonable efforts to continue to provide service in accordance with their LOS.” OGRA also advises municipalities to document everything. This includes winter maintenance training to staff and contractors, weather forecast records, winter patrol records and the municipality’s response to a winter event, including the time the response began.

Taxes in arrears under control STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Admaston-Bromley doesn’t have the taxes-in-arrears problem some municipalities do.

Figures released at the Feb. 16 council meeting showed Admaston-Bromley’s taxes in arrears are $106,283.80, or 10.11 per cent of total taxes billed of $1,050,519.65 in 2011. That compares to about 15 per cent for 2011 taxes in Horton Township, which recently released its figures.

“Our total taxes in arrears aren’t a significant problem,” said Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe. “A bench mark is (to be below is) 20 per cent of total billouts, and we’re

closer to 10 per cent. We’re not in any trouble whatsoever.”

Although owed taxes are relatively low, Briscoe acknowledged that the total is gradually increasing in recent years.

Having taxes paid makes it easier for the municipality to lower its tax rate, said Briscoe. She noted that every $9,000 in owed taxes represents one percentage point in the township’s tax rate for the annual budget.

If tomorrow morning, by some magic, the township had $38,667.85 in owed taxes for 2010 paid up, Briscoe says AdmastonBromley’s tax rate would be four percentage points “ahead of the game.”

See ADMASTON, Page 7

that the statements described Brunet as a loving and caring person.

Justice Ray said it was a mitigating factor in Jamieson’s favour that he pleaded guilty to manslaughter, thereby bringing “closure for the family at an earlier stage and avoid putting the family through the pain and anguish of a trial.”

However, he said use of a weapon, spousal violence and committing manslaughter while in breach of a probation order were aggravating circumstances.

He reserved his strongest language for late in his decision when he referred to spousal violence as “abhorrent.”

“Domestic violence,” he said, “will not be tolerated by our society. The courts are expected to deal severely with offenders who repeatedly breach court orders, and those who persist in perpetrating domestic violence. Mr. Jamieson falls squarely into both categories.

“The unlawful taking of another life as Mr. Jamieson did, is the most serious of crimes.”

A few minutes after hearing the setence, Carol-Anne Brunet’s sister, Debbie Davidson, said in a somber tone, “I would have liked to see him (Jamieson) get more, but 12 (years) is great.”

Calling the whole experience of dealing with his sister’s death “sickening,” she added, “I’m glad it’s over.”

Defence is undecided, this week, if it will appeal the length of the sentence.

Admaston-Bromley roads superintendent Chris Kunopaski and Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe offer comments in the wake of the recent alert regarding municipalities and potential liability related to road maintenance.

Continued from front Shortly after midnight on May 30, a friend called 9-1-1, but paramedics who arrived at her apartment could find no vital signs. She was declared dead the early morning of May 31 at Renfrew Victoria Hospital.

Justice Ray pointed out aggravating factors that led to his decision. These, he said, included the facts that Jamieson, after stabbing Brunet with a kitchen knife, told her to clean up the blood, and over the next 24 hours failed to call an ambulance or seek medical help while her condition deterioriated.

The justice indicated that Jamieson “was motivated more by concern with the consequences of being found in breach of his probation order than he was in getting medical help for Ms. Brunet.”

Nearly half-way through his decision, Justice Ray noted that Jamieson had a lengthy record that included 23 convictions since 1982.

These were for either drinking and driving, mischief, break-and-enter, trafficking, assault with a weapon, uttering threats and four breaches of probation.

Two of those charges, noted Justice Ray, were for assaulting domestic partners, once Brunet and once a previous partner. Those two charges resulted in total jail time of 234 days., In reaching his decision, Justice Ray said he gave no weight to the uncomplimentary remarks made in the victim-impact statements. He did note

History

3 February 23, 2012 - The Renfrew Mercury - EMC

Lost at sea in 1941: Louis Brown

Continued from front page The families spent most of their summers at Lake Dore, so Sheldon says everyone got to know members of neighbouring families pretty well.

In fact, years later Sheldon received his pilotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licence from Louieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, Bliss, who founded the Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s airport that today is the Pembroke and Area Airport.

More information about the Brown brothers who died during the Second World War came from Air Force Association of Canada executive director Dean Black of Renfrew, Renfrew Royal Canadian Legion member Bill Welsh of Renfrew and Louis Brown of North Bay (whose father was Bliss).

NEPHEW LOUIS BROWN

Nephew Louis was named after his Uncle Louie and went on to serve in the Canadian Air Force for 20 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody in the family has talked about Louie and about how good he was and how smart he was,â&#x20AC;? said the North Bay resident.

Louis never met his uncle, who died several years before Louis was born, but Louis unearthed a box of negatives found after his father died in 1991. One of those photos is included with this story.

Louis says his Uncle Louie flew Spitfires, and appeared in a couple of scenes in the movie, A Yank in the RAF, as part of the City of Glasgow Auxiliary Air Squadron 602. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is my understanding that his squadron was the first to see air combat in the Battle of Britain,â&#x20AC;? noted Louis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had been transferred to a Canadian squadron but died two weeks before he was to join the Canadians (RCAF). After he died in May of 1941, his wife Margo came to Canada from Scotland and lived

with my grandparents, Dr. and Mrs. Brown in Renfrew.â&#x20AC;?

One of Louieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other brothers, Joseph, may also be known to Renfrew-area residents. Joe returned from the war and opened a pharmacy in Cobden.

Dr. Brown, who had since moved to Pembroke, died in 1974.

HELP FROM BILL WELSH Some major fact-finding was done by Welsh, as Gower explains in the following correspondence: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The clue to finding more about him came from Bill Welsh, who noted in a long letter that (Louie) had been lost on patrol over the North Sea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This meant that he was probably not buried in a cemetery, but would be commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial in Surrey, England for flyers with no known grave. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the (Kingston) Whig (Standard) I had an approximate date of death, and quickly we found Sergeant Walter Louis Brown, Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, son of Aloyssius and Eulalia Brown, and husband of Margaret. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had died May 24, 1941. None of those who contacted me mentioned that his first name was Walter.â&#x20AC;?

Gower went on to write: â&#x20AC;&#x153;A second brother had died later in the war: Warrant Officer Class II James Angus Brown is buried in Brookwood Cemetery, Surrey, England. Joseph appears in the Kingston City Directory in 1941 only, and left town soon after.â&#x20AC;?

Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memorial Cross, awarded in memory of James, is with the Renfrew branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just to confuse me,â&#x20AC;? added Gower, â&#x20AC;&#x153;a Leonard Brown (married to Laura) also worked at Ward and Hamiltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Above, Walter Louis Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, Margo. At right, Walter Louis Brown shortly before he was shot down over the North Sea in 1941. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was there from 1931 until he opened Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Drug Store in 1946. He retired about 1960 and died about 1973.

Having discovered all of this, I find he is (probably) no relation to Louis at all.â&#x20AC;?

This fact-finding mission wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just about facts, as history seldom is. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What has been really wonderful about the responses,â&#x20AC;? Gower told The Mercury, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is the personal information I have found: the person who knows about (Louieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) wife Margaret; the person whose Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scrapbook has a faded photo of (Louie) noting him as the Ottawa Valley townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first casualty overseas; the person G%%&'.%.*&

who knew him in Douglas before they moved to Renfrew.â&#x20AC;?

Gower concluded by saying to The Mercury and others who helped unearth more history about Walter Louis Brown: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Family researchers should never give up: you never know what is under the next piece of paper! â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the Kingston wall is dedicated in November, I will be thinking of Renfrew and Louis, just as you will be thinking of the brothers (Louis and James) as you stand at the Renfrew cenotaph.â&#x20AC;?

This is Memorial Arena in Kingston where the Memorial Wall (second wall back) will be dedicated later this year and include the name of Walter Louis Brown.

Gallant part of Canadian delegation in Rome for special ceremony At the request of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant was part of the Canadian delegation attending the elevation of Archbishop Thomas C. Collins to the College of Cardinals in Rome.

The ceremony was held at St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Basilica, in the Holy See, last Saturday.

Cardinal-designate Thomas Collins, Archbishop of Toronto, was made cardinal, along with 21 other top churchmen,

by Pope Benedict XVI. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is an honour and privilege, on behalf of the Catholic faithful in the Pembroke Diocese, and all Canadians of the Roman Catholic faith across Canada, for me to warmly congratulate Cardinal Collins on this special occasion.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cardinal Collins is a most appropriate choice,â&#x20AC;? she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His life-long commitment and dedication to our loving father assures Canadian Catholics of strong representation

at the Vatican. My experience here at the Holy See to witness this event has strengthened my faith for greater hope in Canada.â&#x20AC;?

On May 6, 1898, Pope Leo XIII named Narcisse Z. Lorrain as the first Bishop of the Diocese of Pembroke. The diocese includes all of the upper Ottawa Valley and an area that reaches as far north as Temiskaming, Bancroft to the west as well as the Pontiac in Quebec.

At that time, the diocese contained 33 churches, 37 chapels, four convents, three hospitals, 24 parishes, 33 missions, 36 priests and a Catholic population of about 40,000. Today, there are over 57,000 Catholic parishioners in the Pembroke Diocese.

Archbishop Collins is the fourth cardinal in the 110-year history of the church in Toronto. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the 16th Canadian bishop to be named cardinal in the Roman Catholic Church in Canada.

Heather Lepine, Foster McIntyre, Liz Scott and Lola Sine took top spots in the Renfrew Legion Public Speaking Contest Sunday.

Students from most of the area’s schools gathered at the Legion to take part in the contest, which was divided into four categories.

The first-place winners move on the Legion zone competition in Eganville Sunday, Feb. 26.

Heather Lepine of St. Joseph’s High School was the only competitor in the Grade 10-12 category, but impressed the judges with her heartfelt talk on the perils of underage drinking.

Foster McIntyre of Our Lady of

Ferko of Admaston; 3rd, Leif Buxton of Queen Elizabeth.

The Trinity-St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church women are inviting the public to join local World Day of Prayer celebrations on Friday, March 2.

Each year, the World Day of Prayer has a different host in the area and a focus on a different country.

This year, the women of Malaysia invite participants to pray under the theme of Let Justice Prevail.

Malaysian women have also prepared this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worship service which is being opened with the greeting, Selamat Datang, which means peace and welcome.

There is also an accompanying Malaysian gesture of placing oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s palms together with a slight bow as a sign of respect. This greeting is a daily reminder that harmony as a people is rooted in peace and welcoming nature.

To be able to live together in harmony is a blessing from God for which the people of Malaysia give thanks.

Along with the theme of Let Justice Prevail, the women of Malaysia name fair and just governance as the basis

Admaston-Bromley

Admaston-Bromley Township was again under budget for council membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; remuneration.

The municipality, which was $5,000 under budget in 2010 when total council salaries and remuneration came in at $77,554.70, did it again for 2011.

Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget was $77,275, while the final total payout to council members emerged as $75,861.78.

Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe, who had the most combined salary and expenses of $21,108.76, expressed satisfaction with the figures released at councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Feb. 16 meeting.

She noted that councillorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; expenses last year â&#x20AC;&#x153;were sharply reducedâ&#x20AC;? over the previous year because of the councillorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; residential proximity to the municipal offices on Stone road, where most council business is conducted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had more savings (in council remuneration) in 2010, but I think we did a better job (in keeping those expenses down) in 2011,â&#x20AC;? said Briscoe.

She also noted that council remuneration isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t outlandish, partially because council members arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like some municipalities â&#x20AC;&#x201D;paid for the number and length of committee meetings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter how many meetings we attend because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on a salary,â&#x20AC;? said

Admaston taxes in arrears Continued from Page 2 That money is owed by 53 property owners.

For 2009, taxes in arrears are very low, at $6,566.50. Owed taxes prior to 2009 are $2,139.71.

Total taxes in arrears are more than $150,000 from about 3,000 tax bills. That compares to Hortonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total taxes in arrears of $379,691 from about 2,000 tax bills.

Briscoe.

In recent years, the township has raised council membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; salaries, following reviews by an advisory committee that includes members of the public.

The committee also receives direction from Renfrew County human resources director Bruce Beakley. The major indicated the advisory committee would likely review council remuneration one more time before the current four-year municipal term expires.

Briscoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s salary in 2011 was $13,138.32.

Mileage payments of $756.70, allowance expenses of $6,568.64, and miscellaneous items of $645.10 brought her total expenses to $7,970.44.

Each of the four councillors received total remuneration, including the same salary for each of $7,663.76, between $13,300 and $14,500.

Each councillor had exactly the same expense allowance of $3,831.88.

The highest-paid councillor was Robert Dick at $14,469.46, Rookie Coun. Ray Pender had the only convention expenses (of just over $1,000) for total expenses of $7,663.76, and a combined remuneration of $13,840.58.

Michael Donohue, also in his first term as an Admaston-Bromley councillor, had a total remuneration of $13,840.58.

Coun. Dirk Rook, who also serves as deputy mayor, had a total remuneration of $13,304.31.

However, the mayor indicated that the municipality is open to flexible payment plans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Admaston-Bromley is always committed to the dollars, but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see you in trouble with your property,â&#x20AC;? said Briscoe.

Two owners (of a total of four properties) are being registered for tax sale this month. This means their property could be sold if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start to pay owed taxes. Another five owners in arrears for 2009 have received 30 days notice to pay those taxes, or have tax sale procedures initiated.

Opinion EDITORIAL

Rural Canada needs more immigrants, in face of aging population The results of the latest census pose a number of challenges both nationally and in the southern Upper Ottawa Valley - beginning with an aging population.

In 2011, the oldest of the baby boomer generation reached 65, retirement age.

That means fewer workers will be expected to support those who aren’t working.

One possible solution is to raise corporate taxes to 1990s levels. But both the federal and provincial governments are resistant, preferring to enter a race to the bottom when it comes to retaining or attracting corporations with emerging economies in China, India and elsewhere.

Trouble is that kind of short-term thinking will mean fewer dollars to education, research and development, and other aspects that give western nations a competitive advantage on higher-end jobs.

Another solution is the much-discussed changes to the retirement age, from 65 to 67. That seems an unpopular option, but one the federal Conservatives appear willing to stick to.

A third option is to increase immigration. Far right talk radio hosts complain bitterly that the bulk of today’s immigrants come from cultures with few similarities to “traditional values” held

in Canada. Notably those from Muslim nations.

If this is a problem, though, we don’t see any proof of assimilation not working in our multicultural country, then it could be solved on its own in the coming years. As European economies such as Greece’s collapse, expect more emigrants heading this way.

However, attracting immigrants from every region of the world to rural communities such as Arnprior and Renfrew instead of the cities is a significant problem. And it is one politicians at every level seem unwilling or unable to address.

That’s because politicians in a democracy are focused on managing short-term problems. Finding an answer to increasing geriatric costs as tax revenue from fewer workers declines is too incremental. But it is coming.

Immigration, meaning attracting young families with high-skilled parents, has to be part of the solution at both the national and local level.

Arnprior is lauded for increasing its population by double the national level.

But are those new residents young families or retired couples? Chances are the latter.

See RENFREW’S, Page 11

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Save the CBC and Canadian identity To the editor: According to Hansard, several Conservative MPs in our ‘Canadian Government’, including the representative from Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, have been presenting petitions from their constituents requesting the elimination of funding to the CBC! Ms. Gallant’s petition requests the sale of the CBC. I do believe my friends and I live in this riding. I have never been presented with such a petition, but if I had, I would never have signed it. The CBC is a public broadcasting entity, free of government interference. The MPs are muzzled.

Is that why a free broadcaster is a threat? Reports are evenly presented and without bias. It keeps us in touch with our fellow Canadians. It introduces and highlights Canadian talent.

CBC television dramas are picked up by countries around the world. The news is Canadian and free of American overtones.

The comedies showcase our sense of humour and ability to laugh at ourselves.

I would far rather watch or listen to one of these programs than the reality tripe from over the border. Sadly, the cutbacks in funding have affected some of the programming and yet in spite of that, we can be proud of our CBC. One by one Canadian companies are becoming foreign-owned. This recent trip to China by the prime minister frightens me. Chinese government interests own a good part of Alberta Tar sands companies. No wonder the push is on to send Canadian oil to China. Why are we sending our raw materials overseas to be

processed and sent back to us as inferior products?

Think of the carbon footprint growing as the ships wend their way across the ocean (and occasionally having a spill)? It is time we take our country back for Canadians and the last thing we need to do is make our next-door neighbour angry.

As a country we were known throughout the world for our concern for the health of the planet. Sadly, I am ashamed to say, that that is no longer the case. The almighty dollar trumps the environment.

Concern for the pristine wilderness and the lands of our First Nations’ communities have little value when the moguls of Alberta must receive their homage.

Canada is being divided as a result of 39 per cent of the last vote.

We are Canada and our government is the ‘Government of Canada’. It is not ‘our new government’;’ the Conservative Government’; and certainly not ‘the Harper Government’!

Subtly, the names have been changed, but then too, so has what is important to us as Canadians.

If we lose the CBC, we lose much of our Canadian identity. CBC reminds us what is special about us.

A friend from British Columbia who had moved around the country said that the CBC always made her feel at home, no matter where she lived in Canada.

So, make a noise and beat the drum for the freedom of our own Canadian Broadcaster, free of government censorship and interference.

Let’s create no-kill animal shelter, says reader

To the editor: To those who care, something has to be done for animals here in Renfrew. There are so many cats running scared on our streets, with no homes and discarded like garbage.

How can there be so many cruel and heartless people?

Then there are those who go above and beyond to show their love and devotion to animals I know some who treat their pets and others pets with such kindness, and yet even one of them had a knock on her door

the other day from an animal cruelty officer who’d been told she had been treating her pet poorly, when in fact the pet was simply old and feeble.

On the other hand, some cats are left out in the cold to die in this town.

There should be an animal cruelty law once and for all. There has to be justice for these animals.

I have spoken to the Arnprior and Petawawa animal shelters, and they agree with me that Renfrew needs its own nokill animal shelter.

Nature

9 February 23, 2012 - The Renfrew Mercury - EMC

Robins may be harvesting an unusual food source Marilyn Keiser was on her walk along the Ferguslea Road this week and noticed a large number of small, brightly coloured caterpillars walking along the same route.

She also saw robins on the same road, hopping along eyeing the road and tilting their heads from left to right in search of an unsuspecting worm or caterpillar.

The caterpillars are very likely early moving tent caterpillars or the larvae of tussock moths. Both have hairy spines and are yellow and black. The question is why are they on the move in February?

Temperatures have been unusually warm and the caterpillars could be searching for a food source of their own as the robins are doing. As much as the caterpillars are destructive, they do provide food for several bird species.

A GYRFALCON Hi, Jim & Ila: Yesterday, a magnificent gyrfalcon swooped down beside me and sat on a nearby branch, watching me carefully. It was almost pure white, except for black wing tips. For some time now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a brief annual visit from a gyrfalcon, but never in February!

Also yesterday I glimpsed a kestrel flying overhead, another early sighting. While out walking on January 29 I was stopped in my tracks by a ruffed grouse, perform-

ing its courtship dance with great concentration in the middle of my lane. Knowing that gyrfalcons prey on large birds I wonder if the grouse is still in one piece!

Carol McCuaig Thank you Carol. It is always a pleasure to hear that we have such a magnificent falcon in our area even though we know it will be taking one of our resident birds. The early kestrel sighting may be a sign that this species is recovering from a population slump.

BELTED KINGFISHER The belted kingfisher that was seen on the Christmas Bird Count Dec. 17, 2011, a record, is still fishing in the creek at Ferguslea.

Marlene Hanneman saw it on Feb. 16.

It must be getting more than its normal amount of minnows or it would not have survived this long.

In areas where they are resident birds, kingfishers claim a territory where there is an abundance of food and remain within the territory all year round. They are very aggressive and will defend their rights as long as there is open water.

TWO BRIGHT ONES Muriel Buttle had the pleasure of seeing two of our brighter birds at her feed-

er, a male cardinal and a robin. A cardinal is always a sight to see any time and a robin in the winter lets us know that spring cannot be too far away. Although the robin remained all winter we appreciate their presence.

The robin is very likely roosting in the cedars with the cardinal. It seems that the Eastern white cedar offers the best protection against cold temperatures.

Mourning doves, black-capped chickadees and white-breasted nuthatches are roosting in the white cedars in our yard.

They will be joined by American goldfinches and dark-eyed juncos in another week or two. The goldfinches are feeding and roosting in the cedars at Tracey Markiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home.

NEST BOXES We have had several requests for bird box plans. We have house plans for bluebirds, tree swallows, nuthatches, robins, purple martins, kestrels, barred owls, wrens, great-crested flycatchers and woodpeckers (all species). We can send them to you by mail or email, whichever you prefer.

We will also send you the basic instructions for placement, care and suggestions for attracting birds. Be a home builder and landlord.

The rent is not high, but the rewards are great.

JIM FERGUSON SCENE FROM THE HAWKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S EYE Dear Jim and Ila: We have received participant information and fees for ONRE (Renfrew Ontario Bird Count) in the 112th Christmas Bird Count and on behalf of all staff at Bird Studies Canada, I would like to sincerely thank you for all that you do as a compiler for your count circle. Thanks to people like you and your participants, 112 continuous years of data collection is possible!

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Happy Birding, Kristine Dobney Member Services and Accounting Facilitator Bird Studies Canada.

Box 160, Port Rowan, Ont., N0E 1M0 Our thanks to all participants that did the counting. A special thanks to Bill and Joanne Wendt for their help sending the species list to the Audubon Society.

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

He is housebroken and crate trained, and usually quiet. Carlos listens well, he is very intelligent and learns quickly. He gets along well with cats. Carlos does have resource guarding issues so would be best suited in a home without other dogs or children. He does get along well with other small dogs as long as there are no toys or food present. Carlos is affectionate and loves attention. He will make a great little buddy for his new home.

We would love for you to meet

Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: Kelly Haskin, supervisor of the Renfrew pound, says there is a redemption period of five days for cats and three days for dogs. She says nine times out of 10 collected animals are found homes with the help of shelters in other Renfrew County municipalities. The others are euthanized.

Continued from front That wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help keep schools open. It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t increase government revenue. It will add pressure to the hospital, along with a litany of other difficulties.

Renfrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population is lagging, in large part due to plant closures.

Families have left, meaning the schools canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t offer the same level of programming, among many other issues. It becomes a downward spiral; though some are certain when the highway expansion hits the town things will look up.

All too often when these conversations are broached they digress into intergenerational or inter-cultural bickering.

The older generation says it has paid into the tax base and deserves to reap the rewards.

The younger generation says it is entitled to a big house and more, regardless of personal and collective debt.

The culture clashes can be even more insidious, though again Canada appears relatively immune to the clashes seen in England, Denmark and other western nations.

This kind of wrangling does nothing to solve the looming population crisis.

Only by seeing the challenge objectively, outside of the narrow self-interest of age and culture, will the answers come. Only by seeing it as Canadians can we hope to improve the lives of all.

From Page 8 I have spoken to numerous people who are willing to sign the petition and work as volunteers at a nokill shelter.

Instead of euthanizing these poor souls, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s have them fixed.

Please come together as the caring community we are, and letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s build our shelter together as soon as possible.

RELOCATION OF ALMONTE FAMILY PHYSICIANSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; OFFICES The family physicians who belong to the Ottawa Valley Family Health Team are moving from their current ofďŹ ces into a single clinic location at 95 Spring Street (the renovated ďŹ rst ďŹ&#x201A;oor of the former Fairview Manor building).

The physicians moving are Dr. Heather Abramenko, Dr. William Blaine, Dr. Christiane Deschenes, Dr. Mike Dolan, Dr. Franz Ferraris, Dr. Melissa Forbes, Dr. Ursula McGarry, Dr. Graeme McKillop, Dr. Jody Murray, Dr. Anne OldďŹ eld, and Dr. Cecil Rytwinski.

The ofďŹ ce moves will begin in late February 2012 and continue over a period of at least ďŹ ve weeks. Once each physicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move is complete, patients will see their physician at 95 Spring Street, not at that physicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former ofďŹ ce. During the relocation period, your physicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ofďŹ ce will contact you in advance of a scheduled appointment to conďŹ rm the appointment location.

Jim Lowryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 80th Birthday Celebration Please join Jim and his family at the Almonte Civitan Club on Sunday March 4th, 2012 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm Best wishes only

For current information about the status of each physicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move, please visit www.ovfht.ca or call 613-256-9370.

Thank you for your patience during our move.

VICTORIA SLIGHT Jaguar Journal

On Friday, Feb. 10, students and staff of St. Joseph’s Catholic High School welcomed a total of 162 Grade 8 students from elementary schools within the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board.

The elementary schools included St. James Catholic School in Eganville, St. Joseph’s in Calabogie, St. Joseph’s in Arnprior, Renfrew & District Christian School, St. Michael’s in Douglas, and our very own Grade 8 students.

The orientation day was led and organized by the SJHS Student Council.

The day started off with a welcoming ceremony in the gym, including a welcome speech by principal Mr. Brennan Trainor, and Prime Minister Julia Rowat. As a way for students to introduce themselves to their future classmates, we held a giant handshake in the gymnasium

gional Cancer Foundation, the Cougars have raised more than $126,000 for the WEWC. In 2010, the Cougars joined a new initiative with ORCF to re-direct 75 per cent of their annual WEWC fundraising to one of 13 partner hospitals in eastern Ontario. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We chose to direct our funds to two local area hospitals,â&#x20AC;? Cougar Kelly Perry explained.

In 2010, the Deep River and District Hospital was presented with a cheque for $25,534.34 in support of their digital mammography upgrade.

RVH was the recipient of $40,690.71 from the Cougars for digital mammography program.

The Cougars kick off 2012 fundraising with the Renfrew Home and Leisure Show on the weekend of March 23 at the Renfrew Armouries in the Galbraith Room with a beef on the bun and fresh-baked goodies.

After that, the Cougars are doing some fundraising at the County Rocks Renfrew Dance & Concert starring Aaron Pritchett on April 20.

From The Old Files Continued from Page 6 FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE CLUB AT ANNUAL MEETING: The Florence Nightingale Club held the annual meeting for election of officers and general business at the home of Mrs. Allen Derry. The club members have had an active year and have done much good work. To the Florence Nightingale Memorial fund $2 is sent each year, $5 towards the milk fund for the public school. A ward at the hospital has been refurbished with linen; flowers and fruit sent to the sick nurses;

12-15 years of age, but all snowmobilers 16 years or older without a valid driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licence are urged to take the course. A cost of $6.25 must be paid on March 1 for books and other material needed for this course and children under the age of 16 must have their application signed by a parent.

WINTARIO AIDS LIBRARY: Renfrew Public Library will soon be sporting a new dress, all due to a Wintario grant announced recently. A total of up to $5, 135 will be forthcoming to the Renfrew Public Library to assist in costs of renovation and improvements. The complete upstairs of the building will have a new

making clothing for two needy children in December and each month readings and lectures had been given. There was realized from the cooking sale in May $32.70. The officers are: Hon. Pres. Miss Hough, president Mrs. W. Logan, vice president Mrs. A. Stafford, secretary Mrs. J.B. Whitton, treasurer Mrs. Rod Fraser.

FEBRUARY 23, 1977 SNOWMOBILE SAFETY COURSE AT RCI: There will be a snowmobile safety course held at the Renfrew Collegiate Institute March 1-3 from 7-10 p.m. The program is geared for young people who are

coat of paint, desks will be resanded and new drapes will be seen throughout the building.

As well, two new washrooms will be built, replacing the one washroom already in the basement. To keep up with the heritage of Renfrew, the board has decided to keep the small panes in the windows, but will have all new frames built, as well as new storm windows. All in all, the library should see spring arrive with many new colours and welcome renovations.

Deslaurier Custom Cabinets founder and co-owner Jim Deslaurier was delighted with the number of local homeowners who attended the company’s open house Feb. 11-12 to discuss their renovations and building plans with the company’s experts.

More than 100 people attended the event

aimed to showcase the company’s kitchen cabinets and related products.

Deslaurier said that while some visitors came for business reasons, many were homeowners interested in getting designs and quotes for their renovations.

The company’s designers were pleased to help people with their plans, he added.

“It’s nice to see the local market is alive and well.

Star-Set Jewellers owner David Frew and manager Jen Farrow at the store’s new location, 648 O’Brien Rd. Not in photo are owner Michael Frew and sales associates Darlene Peplinski, Gail Mooney and Julie Gaddess.

Drummond’s report: MPP frustrated Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski reacted with frustration to the release of the long-awaited Drummond Commission’s report last week. “(Premier) Dalton McGuinty reminds me of the son who inherits the family business and drives it into the ground. After eight years this government still has not demonstrated the slightest ability to manage finances prudently,” said Yakabuski in a news release last week.

The Drummond Commission spent the last year reviewing how government services are delivered, with focus being placed on improving efficiency and eliminating duplication. The results of those reviews were released with a comprehen-

sive plan to return the province to balanced budgets by 2017-18.

“The release of the Drummond report confirms what has been obvious for far too long; that years of runaway Liberal spending has created a crisis more severe than anything previously disclosed and will require immediate action to start reversing the damage,” said Yakabuski’s release.

Yakabuski is calling on the McGuinty Liberals to stop focusing on polling numbers and to instead concentrate on addressing Ontario’s fiscal situation, to ensure that future generations aren’t burdened with massive debt.

“We do not have right to saddle children and grandchildren with this mess. Yet for months now,

the Liberals have refused to level with the people of Ontario. I believe that if we don’t have an honest conversation with the public now, Ontario will fall off a cliff ” he said.

Every day’s delay now will only worsen the situation, Yakabuski added, saying the task now is to hold the government to account and champion the changes needed to kick-start a provincial recovery and avert Ontario’s bankruptcy.

“The time is now for McGuinty to take action and restore some confidence that this government has shaken off its paralysis and will adopt fiscal sanity.

he got his start under Birks Jewellery designer F.C. Willie.

Frew began running a wholesale jewellery repair business in Foymount, and opened his first store location Star-Set Jewellers in Eganville in 1981.

He then purchased Krieger Jewellers in Arnprior, followed by the opening of Renfrew Jewellers.

Today, Star-Set Jewellers has 15 staff serving three locations: Arnprior, Pembroke and Renfrew and 15 staff.

The Renfrew location has four staff members.

Frew co-owns the stores with son Michael, who also took up the trade.

“People can go to our website starsetjewellers.com which tells more about the store and its services,” Frew points out.

Prime Valley Realty Ltd.

As you drive through the intersection of O’Brien and Gillan roads and cross the old railway tracks, you will see the big store sign on the left – Star-Set Jewellers.

After several years on Stewart Street in the west end of Renfrew, Star-Set Jewellers welcomes customers old and new to its new home at 648 O’Brien Road.

They officially opened the doors to the new store Feb. 2.

“We were in the old location for 15 years as Renfrew Jewellers,” owner David Frew said.

“Even though we have local customers, we didn’t get the traffic (at Stewart Street),” Frew noted.

“This is a more visible spot, and there is lots of parking.”

Frew said the same quality service has followed them to their new location.

“We have three qualified goldsmiths on site,” Frew added, “and a certified watch repairman.

“They are all trained on laser welding technology, rather than the old torch and solder (method).”

‘We continue to offer repair services on jewellery and watches,” he added.

Frew has been in the jewellery business for more than 30 years.

MOTHER AS EXCITED AS THE KIDS WERE Mother was as excited as we were, and even though she was preparing supper, she stopped long enough to take a look at the cover, and ordered us to wash our hands before we got down to the real job of looking it over.

“Just put it over there on the top of the ice box until you have redded up the kitchen,” she said.

Supper was a hurried meal that night.

After all, great things loomed ahead!

And Audrey and I had the kitchen redded up in jig time, with the oil cloth covered table wiped, and then dried with a clean flour bag tea towel to make sure it was perfectly dry.

After all, it would never do to get a spot on the catalogue when it was this new!

The coal oil lamp was lit and moved to the centre of the table, and Audrey and I took our places on the long bench against the back wall.

Audrey always appointed herself the page-turner.

She accused me of crimping the corners and, goodness knows, the catalogue had to serve us until the next one came out months later.

My sister and I had this game we played

our farm in Northcote.

But the joy was in the choosing.

And the old catalogue, long before recy- We scanned each page of the cling was ever thought of, served us well Eaton’s catalogue as if our MEMORIES in the outhouse. choice was a matter of life My sister Audrey often said she thought she should write a letter to Mr. Eaton and and death. with Eaton’s catalogue. tell him how much pleasure we got from We could each pick one thing off each his catalogue, and the good use the past page, and we took turns picking first, al- issues were put to. jure up a mental picture of his catalogue lowing ourselves only 10 pages a night.

And then Audrey would take the 12-inch ruler and tuck it into the page we had left off, close the catalogue and either pass it over to Mother or gently put it up on top of the ice box until the next night.

“Any day now,” Audrey said, peeking into the mail box at the end of our long winding lane. For days, walking home from the Northcote School, with anticipation, Audrey checked the mailbox. It was yet to appear. “What’s taking it so long?”

I wanted to know.

“Don’t be so impatient. It will be here in its own good time.”

What we were waiting for, was the new issue of Eaton’s Catalogue.

As regular as clock work, and as the seasons changed, we could count on it arriving by mail. The last copy was thickened from constant page turning, and it would await its next fate as soon as the newest edition came into the house.

Finally, it was there. Crammed into the tin mail box. Audrey and I ran all the way home through hardened snow, through the bush, never stopping until we reached the kitchen door. My sister wouldn’t let me carry it ... not even for a few feet, in case I dropped it, and got it wet.

BRISCOE’S OR THACKER’S The brothers were never too interested in the new catalogue. Neither was Father.

Father said anything he needed he could get either at Briscoe’s General Store or at Thacker’s garage.

As soon as we were positive the old catalogue held no more interest, it served another purpose.

Father would drive a spike through the upper left corner making a hole large enough to work through a good length of binder twine.

It was then taken out to the outhouse and hung on a nail just inside the door, and used for toilet paper. The old catalogue, by then with most of its pages ripped out, would be stuffed into the Findlay Oval with the morning kindling.

And so we always had two Eaton’s catalogues in use on the farm.

One served the purpose of giving my sister Audrey and me hours of evening enjoyment ... when we could pick wonderful fashions, the latest style shoes, and beautiful materials, realizing of course, none of it would ever find its way out to

Continued from Page 20 â&#x20AC;&#x153;To start, he must declare that there will be absolutely no new spending without identifying equivalent savings elsewhere in the budget,â&#x20AC;? stated Yakabuski.

Yakabuski called on the government to adopt the recommendations of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party: impose an immediate public sector wage freeze, put an end to corporate welfare

â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which, according to the report, shows little evidence â&#x20AC;&#x153;of achieving any economic benefit for Ontarioâ&#x20AC;? (p. 309) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and implement pro-growth policies such as apprenticeship reform.

OVER THE LONGER TERM Over the longer term, Yakabuski said,

Ontario governments need to return to first principles: spend only what you have; set spending priorities on essential programs and services such as health and education; and exit other areas that the government has no business being in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to say the things Ontarians need to know â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not just what they want to hear,â&#x20AC;? added Yakabuski.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re running out of money, and running out of time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And, as we fight for a smaller, smarter government, we must also grow the private sector economy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We commit to lead this charge on behalf of Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard-pressed taxpayers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and especially the 600,000 Ontarians who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a job to go to this morning.â&#x20AC;?

Community Continued from Page 19 “The response was very positive.”

Deslaurier said holding an open house, something he’d like to do annually, “lets people come and see what we do … which is design and build kitchens.”

He said the company has more than 44,000 items in its catalogue.

Deslaurier said the com-

pany is proud of the many improvements made in the three years it has been located at the Hall Avenue plant.

The high quality of the kitchen cabinets has been maintained, but the process is more environmentallyfriendly, he noted.

He explained that better emission control and energy savings have been a focus of recent upgrading. The plant employs 130 to 150 workers.

Greater Madawaska was up to 18 per cent of product not permitted. Mayor Emon said through education the public, they have gotten below the 10 per cent acceptable rate.

Despite his powerful reputation, it’s not known if St. Patrick ever saw a leprechaun.

Preston Cull, who has been dubbed the Douglas Leprechaun, is one of the parade organizers. His company, Preston Cull Auctions, is donating $100 for the best float. Jamieson Travel is providing $100 for the best family float and the Douglas Tavern $100 for the float coming the farthest for the occasion.

The parade starts at 7 p.m. at St. Michael’s Catholic School. To book your float, call 613-649-2689 or Preston Cull at 613-649-2378.

The inaugural Douglas Lions Club St. Patrick Parade will see the hamlet decked out in green March 16.

With Douglas known as the Renfrew County home of leprechauns, it’s inevitable the mystical green creatures will appear at the Friday night festivities.

Organizers, who had 36 floats registered by Wednesday, continue to welcome floats and Leprechaun hoofers, those who walk the route, in their best imitation of Irish-style attire or clothing offering tribute to the Irish icon.

St. Patrick was about 16 years old when captured from Wales by Irish raiders and taken to Ireland as a slave. He lived there for six years before escaping and

Wolves to meet arch-rivals again PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

Get ready for another Arnprior-Renfrew playoff series in the 2011-12 Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League for the

third year in a row.

That became official Friday night after the Wolves dropped a 2-1 decision to the already postseason-eliminated Stittsville Royals.

STITTSVILLE 2, WOLVES 1 Colin Bradbury scored a first-period powerplay goal for the Wolves.

But Scott Barnes and Matt Kadolph replied for Stittsville in the middle frame, and the Wolves were unable to make a breakthrough in a scoreless third despite a 13-5 shots on goal edge, and 52-26 overall. The Wolves Richard Barr gave his team a chance to win, but Renfrew snip-

ers were unable to solve goalkeeper Erik Miksik.

PONTIACS 10, WOLVES 7 David Hobbs snapped a 7-7 deadlock with 2:12 remaining in his final junior B game and the Pontiac Juniors added two open-net tallies to en route to a freewheeling 10-7 victory over the Wolves in Shawville Sunday afternoon.

Maxime Lamontague had two Renfrew goals, Bradbury, Patrick Dick, Tim Riopelle, Jordan Dempster and Brett Lewandowsky. Goaltenders Alex Clarke and the Wolves Troy Gauthier was kept busy in the loosely-played contest.

WOLVES HOWLINGS The Wolves rolled to a 5-0-and-2 clip to gain the final playoff spot before suffering the two season-closing losses.

Renfrew finishes in fourth place with a record of 16-23-and-5.

The Family of Tommy Sullivan We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere and heartfelt thanks to our friends, family and colleagues who have been such a tremendous strength and support to us as we mourn the loss of an irreplaceable husband, father and grandpa.

To the thousands of people who have expressed their well wishes and condolences to our family: you have given us great strength during this difficult time. The stories and memories you have shared with us will forever be treasured.

We would like to commend our sincere appreciation to the most professional, skilled, kind and devoted team of care providers and support staff at the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital.

The love and care you demonstrated as you kept vigil over him during each hospital stay provided us with trust and confidence. Tom appreciated your sense of humour and witty responses to his off-the-cuff remarks that he bounced off you often just to see the reaction he could get (and you always had one)!

To Dr. Cathy Greenough, Tom’s ‘special’ daughter and caring doctor: endless thanks for the home visits and for working diligently to do absolutely everything you could to keep Tom in the best possible health.

To the staff of Tom’s beloved M Sullivan and Son and RONA: your friendship, support and dedication to Tom will never be forgotten. You really are members of Tom’s extended family. Continue to make him proud.

Father Robert Ryan and members of the CWL of Our Lady of Perpetual Help and St. John Chrysostom Parishes: thank you for your endless and fervent prayers and for providing our friends and family with reception after the funeral.

To Father Roy Boucher, our family member and friend: your visits to Tom and devotion to prayer with him was a tremendous support and healing in his great time of need.

Tom left us all with a great legacy and big shoes to fill.

He would be so thankful to each and every one who has provided his treasured family with the love and support you have shown us.

Tough loss for Wolves PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

Jenna Hedden of the Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club gains the upper hand over Lauren Millgram of the WOW wrestling club from Pennsylvania at the Renfrew Rumble in the AFAC Wing Feb. 11.

Playoff losses don’t come much tougher than the one the Renfrew Timberwolves suffered Tuesday night.

Parker Davies scored 4:03 into the second sudden-death overtime period to end an Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League gut-wrenching encounter and give the Arnprior Packers a 4-3 victory in game one of their Valley Division semifinal series.

Taylor Collins, Derek Lowry and Mitch Parker also scored for Arnprior in front of the home crowd at the Nick Smith Centre.

Jordan Dempster, Jesse Riopelle and Brady Clouthier connected for Renfrew. Clouthier also added two assists.

Richard Barr faced 54 Arnprior shots before Davies beat him on a high dart on the 55th.

Matt Couvrette faced 34 shots in the Arnprior goal.

The Wolves led 1-0 and 2-1 in the opening stanza.

The Packers claimed a 3-2 lead in the second on goals 14 seconds apart before Clouthier evened it back up again at 3-3 with still more than 10 minutes

left in the second period.

The defending Valley Division champion Wolves found themselves deep into penalty trouble a few times, but always seemed to play themselves back out.

Powerplay opportunities were 13-7 in Arnprior’s favour.

But it was a penalty late in the first overtime that they’ll look back on.

Brett Lewandowsky was about to break in alone on Couvrette when the linesmen spotted six Wolves on the ice.

The Wolves killed off the Arnprior powerplay that carried over into the second overtime period, but surrendered the winning goal about three minutes later.

Game two of the best-of-seven series was played last night at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

Remaining games are • Game 3: Friday, Feb. 24 at Arnprior – 8 p.m.

• Game 4: Sunday, Feb 26 at Renfrew – 7 p.m.

• Game 5: Wednesday, Feb. 29 at Arnprior – 8 p.m.

• Game 6: Friday, March 2 at Renfrew – 8 p.m.

• Game 7: Sunday, March 4 at Arnprior – 7.30 p.m.

All hands on deck in Sudbury SHANE SMITH

Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club

Members of the Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club travelled to Sudbury for the second time this year, to participate in a novice, kids and bantam tournament. Again the team’s performance has made the coaches extremely proud. Each wrestler returned home with a medal.

• Gold: Samantha Smith, Brandon McDonald, Cole Her-

bert, Lily Warren, Chelsea Bernard, Shanna Beauchamps and Logan Picard.

• Silver: Cody Driscoll, Jordon Oattes, Paulina Oattes, Rachel McDonald, Nathaniel Smith, Sarah Malatesta and Colton Warren.

• Bronze: Jolie Briscoe, Seth Picard, Teegan Tabbert, Bryson Lines and Cole McKee. The Renfrew bantams finished first, while both the kids and novice teams placed fifth.

If you have champions in separate divisions in any field, who wouldn’t want to see them lock horns?

That’s what professional bass anglers, Renfrew’s Ken Dagenais and Kemptville’s Jason Kluver, will be doing in early July.

“This is a pretty big deal,” Renfrew native Trevor Kunopaski said.

Kunopaski, who resides in Pakenham, will be one of the event organizers as a professional production crew covers the bass fishing showdown.

“They are the best two bass fishermen in Canada. Both have won thousands and thousands of dollars,” Kunopaski said.

“Thing is, they don’t compete directly against each other.

“Ken is the Renegade Bass Angler of the Year for 2011 and Jason is the South Eastern Bass

Open champion. They’ve never faced each other,” To win one tournament in a year is amazing, but to win three or four is at another level, which both Dagenais and Kluver have, Kunopaski added.

Kunopaski got on the phone with both anglers, and all is confirmed for the contest.

“It’ll be held in either the first or second week in July, whichever week both Ken and Jason can be there,” he said.

Sponsors have jumped on board, and thousands of people are following on Facebook and emails, Kunopaski said.

It’ll help Dagenais and Kluver draw sponsors in the future, Kunopaski added.

Militantoutdoors.com has secured the rights to host and present this unprecedented event.

“I’m just like everybody else.

I want to see these two guys go head-to-head and see who’s better,” Kunopaski added.

Expo legend, Howdy Doody, Wolves and all-stars The Montreal Expos lost a big piece of their past last Thursday with the passing of Gary Carter. But I’m proud to say, for one day, at least, Renfrew was a piece of his history. It was back in the CKOB Radio days.

Carter visited Renfrew – pretty sure it was in the spring of 1980 – and morning man Bob Rose and I interviewed him.

Later that evening, Carter was at Butson’s and the White House. He didn’t remember my name, but he did refer to me as “the guy that looked like the guy on Howdy Doody.”

What an honour! Maybe!

I’m too young to remember

PETER CLARK PETER’S PUTTERINGS Howdy Doody, but what baby boomer hasn’t heard of him?

Hey. If the best catcher on the most revered team in Canadian baseball history spent the rest of his life telling people, “I was once interviewed by a guy in Renfrew that looked like the guy on Howdy Doody,” what the heck. I can live with it.

recent playoff meetings with Arnprior. Renfrew has won the past two years, including last spring’s Valley Division final.

Since the league got rolling in the late 1960s, these teams have probably faced each other 20 times in the postseason.

Amazingly enough, they have never gone seven games – until now. I think the Wolves can win a long series.

Make it Renfrew in seven – and even longer – in overtime.

Renfrew fish and game salutes top anglers and hunters KEVIN WHITE Renfrew Fish and Game Club

The Renfrew Fish and Game Club held its annual dinner and awards banquet Feb. 12 at the DACA Community Centre.

The guest speaker this year was Don Lewis, technical specialist with the Pembroke District office of the Ministry of Natural Resources.

Lewis gave a most information talk on bears, which generated many questions from the floor. Lewis mentioned that in Ontario, we only have one species of bear and that’s the black bear.

Although this species can come in any color, beige, cinnamon, black and even white in some cases, it is still called a black bear. Lewis also said that there have been only 16 fatalities from black bear attacks in all of North America.

“You probably have a better chance of being killed by a lightning strike than by a black bear attack,” Lewis said.

Rick Watchorn, district manager with MNR, also attended and spoke to the group.

Watchorn said how important it is for the MNR to attend functions such as this so people can actually put a face to the name. He also mentioned he would

RCI Raiders No. 1-ranked at EOSSAA senior boys hoops tournament PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

Last week proved to be a pretty good one for Renfrew Collegiate Raiders sports teams, and that success has allowed many of the teams to continue play this week.

Although they came up short in the Renfrew County final in Arnprior, the RCI senior boys basketball team has qualified for the Eastern Ontario (EOSSAA) senior boys basketball championships for A schools, which they are hosting today and tomorrow in the Grant Gymnasium.

RCI will enter EOSSAA at the No. 1 seed, and are in a pool with St. Francis Xavier and Almonte.

Game times are 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. today for the Raiders’ first two games. The Raiders last won senior boys basketball EOSSAA in 1961.

The Raiders hung tough with Arnprior in the first half of the Renfrew County final, but the Redmen struck oil in the second half en route to an 83-56 victory. Gord Gaddess had 23 points and Jason Crilly 22 for RCI. The Raiders reached their 11th county final in 12 years by ending the Fellowes Falcons’ two-year championship reign 60-43. Cooper Brown sealed the win with 10 points in the fourth quarter. Crilly had 27, Gaddess 17 and Josh Hudson seven. Joel Corbin made his presence felt at both ends of the floor for coach Adam Noack’s RCI squad.

JUNIOR BASKETBALL Arnprior topped the Raiders 41-36 in the junior hoops semifinal. In a heartstopping finish, RCI led by a point with 30 seconds remaining when a turnover gave Arnprior the edge. The Junior Raiders had one last gasp to draw even but couldn’t capitalize.

Coaching staffs on both sides saw Blair MacKenzie as the game’s top performer. Both teams did an outstanding job, shutting down the others’ leading scorer, Raiders co-coach Roger Poirier said.

0223.R0011285313

JUNIOR GIRLS QUALIFY FOR EOSSAA The RCI junior girls volleyball team is also EOSSAA-bound in Brockville Wednesday (yesterday), thanks to a thrilling win over the Bishop Smith Crusaders in the county semifinal Thursday.

“It was a tight, tight match,” co-coach Cheryl Barber observed of the Raiders’ 3-2 triumph. She said the girls showed excellent communication, persistence and team spirit. The host Fellowes Falcons captured the county title.

The Senior Raiders volleyball season came to an end Feb. 14 in Pembroke.

The Raiders lost 3-0 to eventual Renfrew County champions Fellowes in their opening playoff match. The Arnprior Redmen slipped past the Raiders by a narrow 3-2 margin.

The ladies clearly demonstrated a maturing of their volleyball senses as the season rolled along, coaches Richard Daber and Jason Wilson observed. They said their lunch bucket crew showed heart and battled for every point.

DRAMATIC HOCKEY VICTORY The Raiders skated to the Petawawa tournament varsity boys hockey tournament championship last Thursday.

Goaltenders Travis Lemay and Dane Brumm earned shutouts during the round-robin portion of the tournament for coach Scott Buffam’s squad.

Brumm also registered the win in the final.

Brady Pender tied the game at 3-3 versus Bishop Smith in the last minute of the third period before Jarret Latendresse scored the tournament winner in a shootout. Stephen Cuthill had the game’s first two goals for RCI. The RCI alpine girls ski team has a fine day on the slopes at Calabogie Thursday with a bronze medal-winning performance at EOSSAA. Five members of the Raiders wrestling team have qualified for EOSSAA in Kingston. At the county championship last week, Ida Yates-Lavery, Taylor Cameron, Jake Cartman and James Foran claimed gold, and Angel Smith silver.

Jaguars gain spot in EOSSAA The St. Joseph’s Jaguars lost 31 to the eventual Renfrew County champion Fellowes Falcons in the junior girls volleyball semifinal Feb. 16 in Pembroke.

Jaguars coach Meagan Cahill was pleased with the Jaguars’ effort.

She said her team had consistent serves throughout and played strong defence against the leading squad in the county.

Meanwhile, St. Joseph’s learned that the Jaguars senior

boys basketball team will be a part of the six-team Eastern Ontario (EOSSAA) championship tournament field today and Friday.

The championship for A schools is being hosted by the Renfrew Collegiate Raiders in the Grant Gymnasium at RCI. St. Joseph’s is ranked fifth, and is in a pool with Tagwi and North Grenville.

The Jaguars take to the court at 2:30 and 5:30 p.m. today.

Senators goaltender unmasks his personal style

By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com Goaltenders, it’s often been said, are a different breed.

Nowhere is that more obvious than in the piece of gear that always seems to draw the most attention. The mask every netminder wears isn’t just a necessary piece of facial protection. Rather, it offers up a canvas for personal expression, one that can take many unique forms.

“It’s one of the few positions where you can express yourself and who you are,” said Senators goaltender Craig Anderson, who displays a team and personal touch with his masks. “It try to keep it 50-50. One side is team oriented, the other side is what sets me apart.”

Anderson turned heads this season by breaking out a heritagethemed mask that pays tribute to Hockey Hall of Fame goaltender Clint Benedict, who backstopped the original Senators to three Stanley Cups in the 1920s. He uses it on nights when the team wears its ‘O’ styled heritage jerseys.

But the 30-year-old native of Park Ridge, Ill., doesn’t just let his masks do the talking. His standout play since Christmas has elevated the Senators into the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff chase.

Score sat down with Anderson to unmask a few truths, so to speak, about the Senators stopper: Q: Have you ever gone through four masks in a season before?

A: One was from last year, so I started out with that. Then I got a new but it broke and we replaced it, and I also have the heritage one. So we have an extra one

character he wants on it. I like to give the artist an open slate.

Q: What do you do with your old masks?

A: I have almost all of them except the ones that were broken

— those go back to the mask builder. The rest of them, I’ve got in storage somewhere, between my house and my parents’ house and whatnot. Eventually, I’ll have a display case with them all.

This one is feeling really good, the fit and finish is really good and I feel really good in it.

Q: Are there any common themes you like to keep on all your masks?

A: The common theme right now is the Corvette. It’s America’s sports car and it’s my way of paying tribute to what I like doing. I like playing with cars in the off-season and being an American. The other side has something to do with the team, like the Sens logo. I also have the Corvette Racing logo on the back, with my number and name (Andy). Other than that, it’s pretty much free rein for the

painter.

Q: How did you and your mask designer (Detroit-based John Pepe of Pepe Custom Paint) first meet?

A: The guy that builds my masks (Bob Dillon of Dillon’s Custom Goalie Mask) is out of Virginia — I met him when I played in the minors with Norfolk. He gave me a custom fit and I’ve been using his masks ever since. The customer service has been top notch and the mask feels really good when I get hit in the head. There’s no ringing, there’s no repercussions from getting hit in the head like I had with my old masks. The painter is his guy that he’s used for a long

time.

Q: How do you and your painter collaborate on the final product?

A: It’s more or less just one phone conversation. After that, it’s just little messages here and there by e-mail. My theme hasn’t really changed over the last few years, so it’s pretty much free rein for him to put whatever kind of

BOSTON BRUINS Saturday, Feb. 25, 7 p.m., CBC Though their play has been somewhat average of late, the Stanley Cup-champion Bruins are still a formidable force and a top candidate to repeat in June. This is a team loaded with offensive threats, led by the versatile Patrice Bergeron and the bruising Milan Lucic. Young phenom Tyler Seguin is having a breakout season in his second full season in Boston, while Chris Kelly is putting up career numbers and Brad Marchand

remains a perpetual pest who’s also a major impact player. Zdeno Chara is the big man in many ways on the Boston blue line. In Tim Thomas and Tuukka Rask, the Bruins boast arguably the best goaltending tandem in the NHL.

NY ISLANDERS

Sunday, Feb. 26, 5 p.m., Sportsnet East The Islanders are beginning to make more noise in the Eastern Conference, pushing toward the fringe of playoff contention in recent weeks. It’s no surprise the team’s rise is accompanied by that of John Tavares toward elite player status in the NHL. The former No. 1 overall pick heads up a dangerous attack that also gets top goal production from the likes of Matt Moulson,P.A. Parenteau,

Adding an assist in that area from the back end is Mark Streit. In goal, the Isles rely most heavily on the duo of Evgeni Nabokov and Al Montoya.
