Tensions ran high at the Horton Community Centre as Coun. Dave Bennett unseated his uncle, incumbent Robert Kingsbury, in the Horton mayoral race. Bennett outdistanced Kingsbury 794 to 652. Incumbent Glen Campbell once again topped the councillor race, earning 1,051 votes. Joining him on council are newcomers Lane Cleroux (831) and Tom Webster (803), both town of Renfrew employees, and Doug Humphries (798). Missing out were Peter Tippins (621), Jeff Taylor (591) and Ian Moodie (415). After it became apparent, with more than 60 per cent of the vote counted, that Bennett was the victor, a brief melee broke out as the Kingsbury camp was preparing to leave. While Kingsbury was congratulating Campbell and Humphries on their success, his son angrily approached Bennett and took a glancing swing at him. After some tussling and shouting, the combatant was guided out of the hall. Bennett, who said he wouldn’t See CANDIDATES, page 2

press charges, called the incident “unfortunate,” noting he knows how Kingsbury feels, having “been in his shoes” when he lost the 2010 mayoralty race. “But you just have to accept the result and act professionally.” Kingsbury said that, knowing there was bad blood within the family because of his nephew’s challenging him for the mayoralty, he had told his supporters that if he was losing they should quietly leave the hall. “Unfortunately, it didn’t exactly happen that way,” said Kingsbury, who rushed in to help break up the fracas. Bennett said the family rift made his victory “bittersweet.” However, he is gratified by the support that helps put behind him the divisive 2010 race in which he lost the mayoralty to Don Eady. In that

campaign, “I wasn’t the person people believed I was,” Bennett said. He said he contributed many volunteer hours to the community, not for financial or electoral benefit, but because he truly believes the township’s growth depends on having recreation facilities. Bennett, who has been on and off council since 1982, suggested his victory showed that Horton residents wanted a bigger voice in how their municipal government is run. His promise to change back to the former committee system to give councillors and the public more time for input and discussion of issues before council makes decisions struck a chord with voters, he said. If Kingsbury had offered the same system, the vote would probably have been “awfully close,” Bennett said. He said council’s first item of business after it is sworn in Dec. 3 will be to discuss changes in the procedural bylaw to create a committee system with which all councillors are happy. Bennett said that despite three councillors being new, they bring a wealth of experi-

ence with Humphries’ long history in the township and the municipal knowledge of Webster, Renfrew’s chief building office, and Cleroux, a Town of Renfrew public works engineering technician. “It’ll be a good team to work with, Bennett said. “We have some of the same goals. They’re very qualified to guide the growth of this community.” Bennett said he’s confident he can find room in the budget to either cut or hold the line so he can keep his promise to freeze the township’s tax rate for the last three years of this term. However, his most experienced councillor disagrees. Campbell, who has topped the polls for three straight elections, said council should be building up the township’s reserves, which he can’t see doing without a tax increase. “I can’t see zero per cent,” he said, explaining that the ice storm, last year’s floods and this year’s tornadoes sounded a warning that the township needs to be prepared for such eventualities. “It’s either pay now or pay later,” said Campbell. “I’d rather be dealing with it in

controlled conditions, rather than in an emergency.” Kingsbury agreed, calling Bennett’s tax promise “unsustainable.” He said the issue probably played a significant role in his challenger’s win. Although he felt the voters made a mistake, Kingsbury said that “it’s time to move on.” He said it is up to the elected councillors to “look after the township and keep it on track.” Campbell, who credited his being a “straight shooter” for his popularity with the voters, said he had “good mentors,” and so was ready to take on a leadership role. “I’m up for the challenge,” he said. Bennett said his father, the late Dave Lloyd Bennett, who served a term on Horton council in 1958, would have been proud. “He’s probably dancing up there,” said a family member. Noting the internet voting problems in Renfrew, Kingsbury gave credit to former Horton clerk Mackie MacLaren for recommending the voteby-mail system for the township. In Horton 1,482 voters cast ballots, a 52.31 per cent turnout.

CONVINCING WIN FOR HUNT IN GREATER MADAWASKA MAYORAL RACE ALL INCUMBENTS RETURNED IN ADMASTON/ BROMLEY SHERRY HAAIMA sherr y.haaima@metroland.com

SHERRY HAAIMA sherr y.haaima@metroland.com Following the Oct. 22 municipal election, the faces at the Admaston/Bromley council table will look exactly the same. All incumbents were re-elected. Mayor Michael Donohue was acclaimed for a second term and councillors Robert Dick (596), Bob Hall (586), Mike Quilty (585) and Kevin Legris (594) all retained their seats. Missing out were newcomers Jamieson Dyer (143) and Angela Field (362). In the only local race for school board trustee, Pat O'Grady (242) won the English-separate seat convincingly over incumbent Robert Michaud (58). Trustees Collette Stitt (French public) and Robert Lemelin (French-separate) were acclaimed.

He tipped his hat to his fellow mayoral candidates and praised all Greater Madawaska's successful candidates - incumbent Ward 3 (Griffith-Matawatchan) Coun. Glen MacPherson (59.8 per cent), former reeve John Frost (71.6 per cent) in Ward 2 (Dacre-Centennial Lake) and newcomers Lucie

Perrier and Chuck Rigelhof, who were acclaimed in Ward 1. "I'm very happy with the council we have, we've got some returning and some new blood I think it's going to be a great council," said Hunt. "Greater Madawaska has always been a great place to live, visit and play and I'm going to do everything to keep it that way," he said.

phone voting system provincially," said Renfrew returning officer Kim Bulmer. "There was an inability for some people to get logged on or get through on the phone (when attempting to vote)," he said. The affected municipalities extended electronic voting until 8 p.m. Oct. 23 and Renfrew also offered voters a chance to cast paper ballots at town hall from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. Tuesday. The municipalities declared an emergency under Section 53 of the Municipal Elections Act to extend the voting. Laurentian Valley, Pembroke, Petawawa, and Whitewater Region were the four other municipalities in Renfrew County using the Dominion Voting System, as were many across the province

(Greater Madawaska, Arnprior and McNab-Braeside were using a different company) Bulmer announced the delay about 8:30 p.m. Monday to a disappointed room full of candidates and supporters at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. He explained that the problems started late in the afternoon when a "significant bandwidth" issue started preventing voters from signing on to cast a ballot. Renfrew was doing relatively well, but did get calls from frustrated voters, so it was decided the town would join "numerous other municipalities" in extending the vote, Bulmer explained. He apologized but said it was best for democracy that anyone wishing to vote be given more time. Every vote cast Monday was

recorded and will remain recorded, he promised. "It' not the fault of our department," said disappointed mayoralty candidate Don Eady, who was awaiting the results with his daughters, one who drove in from Brockville. He said it was unfortunate that a "glitch" extended the election, but everyone needs to have a chance to vote. "I'm sure Kim (Bulmer) is on top if it," he added. Eady's challenger, Callum Scott, said the breakdown confirms his feeling that Renfrew should be using paper ballots.

If a fire starts in your home, early detection is vital to get you and your family out safely. Install a smoke alarm on every storey of your home and outside all sleeping areas – it’s the law! Test your smoke alarms once a month and change the batteries once a year. Working smoke alarms can give you the precious seconds you need to escape. A message from the Renfrew Fire Department. Careless cooking is the number one cause of home fires in Ontario. Most of these fires start because pots and pans are left unattended on the stove. If you must leave the kitchen when you are cooking, turn off the stove. While cooking, always keep a large lid nearby. If a pot does catch fire, slide the lid over the pot, then turn off the stove.

The success of Renfrew's Mackay Manor in treating men with addictions has prompted a campaign to open a similar facility for women in Renfrew County. The opportune availability of a suitable location in Pembroke - the 9,000square-foot, 14-bedroom former Deacon House - has jump-started the push for approvals and fundraising to turn the dream of a women's residential addiction treatment centre into a reality by 2020. Mackay Manor's outgoing executive director Tom Carroll is appealing for public and business support for the effort that he says is long overdue. "There's a huge gap (in service)," he said. "With the #MeToo movement, there's not a better time to do this." For too long, Renfrew County women with addiction challenges have had to go to Ottawa, North Bay or Toronto for treatment, he said. Over a recent 18month period, 160 women were referred out of the county for addiction treatment. "That is unacceptable," said Carroll. "We need your support now." Sending them away from their home area tends to deter women from seeking help, especially those with children. They would be much more likely to seek aid if a new women's addiction facility proposed for Deacon House in Pembroke is available, Carroll said. A partnership with Family and Children's Services will help ease client fears that asking for help will result in having their children taken away, he added. The residential recovery centre will work hand-in-hand with pre- and postrecovery programs to be offered at nearby Irving House Carroll estimates about $3 million is needed to properly launch the centre about $1 million in renovations for Deacon House and $1 million each for the treatment and recovery programs. However, it will be money well spent, he said, noting "research shows that every dollar spent on addiction saves $5.90 down the road." Interventions pay dividends, he added. "It's a choice: pay now or pay later." Mackay Manor has treated close to 4,000 men from Renfrew County and beyond since 1975. A proposal to make it coed was judged to have too many supervision problems and a complementary women's centre, while talked about for 30 years, has yet to come to fruition. As well as seeking financial backing from the provincial government, proponents of the women's treatment centre will be approaching all businesses and service clubs in the county for support, whether it be for cash donations or materials and labour to help renovate Deacon House. "We want to show the province we're doing our part," said Carroll. "We're not looking for the province to put up the

full amount." In preparation of the campaign, Mackay Manor officials, with help from Bernadette McCann House, are circulating a petition "seeking support from the people of Renfrew County to demand that the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care fund a women's residential addiction program." For the first time, the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) is not supporting the project, "so we decided to get the taxpayers to demand the funding," said Carroll. The petition, which has been spreading awareness about the project, has had a "good response," well on the way to the goal of 50,000 signatures. "We feel there is a real groundswell of support.

GRAND ROUNDS

Helping women in the fight against breast cancer October is breast cancer awareness month. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death among Canadian women. Early detection is one of the best ways to combat this statistic. Lisa Phillips, breast cancer survivor, can attest to the importance of early detection. With a family history of breast cancer taking three previous generations—greatgrandmother, grandmother and mom—she and her sister Shelley were considered high risk and began annual mammograms at age 30. Shelley was diagnosed five years ago and Lisa’s cancer was diagnosed in February 2017. Of the cancer journey she shares, “My sister Shelley and I were fortunate to be treated at RVH. All the staff have the knowledge, caring and compassion with which they care for every individual. We’re grateful we had RVH.” Lisa plans to be an advocate on behalf of all women, in particular with the regards to access to MRI services for more

in depth screening. She advises women, “Be diligent in doing breast exams, go for your mammograms, make sure you are an advocate for your own health. Early detection can save your life.” At RVH it’s all about taking action to help save lives. The digital mammography services provided by experienced mammography technologists remain the gold standard of screening for early stage breast cancer. As an Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP) site, RVH recently achieved re-accredition with the Canadian Association of Radiologists-Mammography Accreditation Program (CARMAP). “We are striving to ensure we’re ready for the challenges of tomorrow. The fight against breast cancer is not a battle anyone wants to take on. But with your support it is one for which RVH is prepared,” says Sarah Robinson, Executive Director, Renfrew Victoria Hospital Foundation.

Lisa Phillips, breast cancer survivor, women’s health advocate and RVH supporter shares first-hand the importance of early breast cancer detection.

WHO WE ARE LETTERS & COMMENTARY POLICE SHARE SAFETY TIPS FOR HOMEOWNERS, TRICK OR TREATERS, PARENTS TO THE EDITOR:

Halloween night is quickly approaching when the streets will be filled with ghosts and goblins. The Ontario Provincial Police would like to take this opportunity to share some simple safety precautions, to ensure a safe and happy Halloween.

For the homeowners: Be sure to keep the path leading up to your door free of obstacles. Keep pets indoors on Halloween. Rather than candles in your pumpkin, consider safety glow sticks or battery operated lights. Don't ask the children into your home, rather have them wait outside.

For the trick or treaters: Bring a flash light or a glow stick and wear reflective clothing. Do not go inside houses. Only go to houses that are lit.

Wearing light colored costumes will also increase your visibility. Make sure your vision is not restricted. Masks may require that the eye-holes be cut for the sake of good peripheral vision. If the costume requires the use of props, such as a plastic sword, make sure the sharp tip is cut or filed round. Stay on the sidewalks (If there is no sidewalk, walk on the left-hand side of the street facing traffic). Avoid jaywalking.

For the parents : Parents should know the route that their children plans to follow. For younger children, ensure a trusted adult or older sibling accompanies them. Teach your children to recognize places along his/ her route where they can obtain help : a public place, friend's house, store. Remind children that they must have their candy inspected by a guardian or parent prior to eating them.

For drivers: Drive a little slower and

be aware that numerous children are out on the streets. These children will be full of excitement and possibly less aware of the traffic around them. Drivers, please take your time on Oct. 31.

THANKS TO PASSERSBY WHO HELPED SENIOR AFTER ACCIDENT TO THE EDITOR:

A great big thank you to the lovely ladies who came to my assistance recently when I had an accident on Munro Street. I was badly shaken and these ladies helped me to collect myself, gave me first aid and called 911. I cannot express fully how much I appreciated their presence of mind at what could have been, but for them, a very serious incident. At emergency after a long wait I was given professional help, stitched up (12 stitches) and sent home at 9 p.m.

CANNABIS AND YOU

RENFREW BIA NOT OPPOSED TO CANNABIS BUSINESS DOWNTOWN JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com Renfrew Business Improvement Association members aren't necessarily against the location of a cannabis store downtown, but they don't want the town's core dominated by pot outlets. "We want a nice assortment of stores to attract people downtown," said BIA chair Lisa Vincent. She said a report on her comments at a recent cannabis forum hosted by Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant were misunderstood and misquoted. A survey indicating 60 per cent opposition to an outlet downtown was not of BIA members but of customers of one business that's not even downtown, she explained. The 60/40 split came from an informal "barber" poll town council representative to the BIA board,

Kate Windle, did with her customers. Because some people now think the BIA is against pot outlets, the board and downtown businesses are being falsely accused of being anti-business, Vincent said. "We'd like to see the empty storefronts downtown filled ... but we don't want the same type of business in each one of them, no matter what that business is," she added. She noted that rules along the lines of those that regulate the location of alcohol stores would make sense for pot outlets. However, it's up to the town, not the BIA, to determine what businesses locate downtown, she stressed. "We just work with them on behalf of the businesses," she added, noting decisions on how Renfrew will handle the rollout of pot outlets by the April timeline will be up to

the new council. Vincent said people accusing the BIA of determining whether or not pot stores should locate downtown misunderstand the role of the organization. The main mandate of the BIA, which represents 160 businesses and services in the town core, is beautification followed by promotions and events, she explained. Vincent said when she was invited to attend the MP's cannabis forum she emailed BIA members asking for feedback. That's where the input regarding the downtown needing a "good blend" of stores to serve patrons was raised, she said. Vincent joined others at the MP forum in expressing concerns by business owners about lack of knowledge and guidelines so far about repercussions and rights of employers and employees when it comes to pot use. The Renfrew BIA further clarified its position in a recent post by the board of directors on its Facebook page.

UNDER-25S SHOULDN'T USE CANNABIS: RENFREW DISTRICT HEALTH UNIT JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com In response to the legalization of cannabis in Canada on Oct. 17, the Renfrew County and District Health Unit is focusing on a "prevention and harm reduction strategy." Legal does not mean safe, as no drug is without risk, stresses the health unit in releasing a list of people they suggest shouldn't use pot. According to legislation, individuals 19 years of age and older can buy, use, possess and grow non-medicinal cannabis. However, the health unit advises people to avoid cannabis use: • if under the age of 25, as using at a young age increases the risk of developing health, educational and social issues; • if there is a personal or family history of mental health problems, as there is increased risk of cannabis-related psychosis and mental health issues; ? • if planning a pregnancy, pregnant, or breastfeeding, as it may affect the ability to become pregnant and increases risk of harms to baby development. ?

If people choose to use cannabis, the health unit recommends consulting their health-care provider and following Canada's Lower-Risk Cannabis Use guidelines. "Negative health effects may include irritated respiratory system, impacts on thinking and decision-making, impaired motor co-ordination, reaction time, distorted perceptions, drowsiness and anxiety," says the health unit. The health unit notes that cannabis can affect individuals differently and different methods of consumption may result in different experiences. For example, when cannabis is inhaled, the effect can be felt almost instantly and may last up to four hours. When cannabis is ingested, the effects can be delayed up to two hours and may last up to 10 hours. People should not operate a motorized vehicle while under the influence of cannabis, advises the health unit. "Many variables impact the level and duration of impairment. Like with alcohol and other substances, impairment can last, unknowingly, for prolonged period of time." The health unit reports it will be enforcing the proposed Smoke-Free Ontario Act. It will be illegal to vape or smoke cannabis in areas where smoking tobacco is prohibited. The health unit encourages people to be aware of ongoing changes related to legalization by visiting www.ontario.ca/page/ cannabis-legalization. For more information, visit the Renfrew County and District Health Unit website at www.rcdhu.com.

RENFREW MAN TELLS HARROWING TALE OF SURVIVING TORNADO HEROES WERE MADE AMONG HUNTING BUDDIES ON WHITE LAKE DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com October 18: The newly-built ramp up to the front door of Ryan Vincent's home still has no railing attached. Just back from his first checkup, Vincent is on the TV room couch bundled under blankets and pillows with chunky plastic shoes on both feet. "It's much better," he said, looking at the casts. "I had one of them big white-mold ones on this leg. This is much better." The gregarious and often grinning 25-year-old lives on a winding backroad between Renfrew and Arnprior; loves the outdoors, fishing and hunting; and is remarkably upbeat for a young man who can't do any of that at the moment. The nerve damage in his left foot may permanently affect his ability to walk. "Everything's healing well, at least," he said. His father Pat walks in the front door and fills the space between the couch and television:

Derek Dunn/Metroland Ryan Vincent shares the harrowing tale of surviving a tornado that struck his camp site on an island in White Lake. He was struck by a falling tree after convincing a friend to escape a tent that would be crushed by a massive pine. "Did he tell you about the guy in the tent? Ryan kept calling him," Pat says, pointing to his son. "Saved his life! Well, probably saved his life." October 4: The Ottawa Hospital Civic Campus doors open, Vincent is wheeled out. He's still

beaten up but happy to be home soon. The ramp was largely finished the night before; materials donated by his employer, a local custom cabinet maker; about eight friends (hunting and fishing buddies that have been through a lot) put it together.

Seven days before release, his second surgery - this one on his right heel - was a success. Doctors vacuumed up 100 bits of bone. The larger bones were busted in six or seven places. That leg was considered stable, so his OR time kept getting pushed back.

His daughter Ella, 5, paid a visit around that time. She broke her arm in summer so knew not to be scared in hospitals. The hunting and fishing buddies all drove to the city to see him, along with a few others. And, of course, his mom Barb. The first surgery was to his left leg. Before that a permanent rod was inserted just below the knee cap, sticking out of either side for the time being. "They tied a string to the titanium rod and then to a 30-pound weight and hung the weight over the side of the bed," Ryan said. It was like that for 24 hours. The broken femur was threatening to puncture his skin. It was described as looking as sharp as a prison shiv. He doesn't remember much from the first few hours after admittance. He was heavily sedated to deal with the waves of pain. Pat was there, as was his brother Eric who was with Ryan and the hunting and fishing buddies earlier in the day. "I was in a single room with another guy, so it was pretty busy. I remember that," he said. "Mostly because of people from DunroSee VINCENT, page 12

bin. It was even busier the next day because inexperienced people from Dunrobin were ending up at the hospital with broken legs. They were helping neighbours repair houses, I guess." It didn't help that the Civic was out of power. "They couldn't do nothing with me, but the bone could puncture." September 21: An ambulance hurtles down Highway 417, coming from White Lake. The paramedic had twisted his ankle in order to strap him into the stretcher. That's when the pain hit him. Before that, when a friend was holding his leg in place to prevent the bone shard from poking through on the bumpy boat ride to the launch site, Ryan was riding off adrenaline. "He saved Ryan's life," Pat said. "It's quite a story." The two-mile boat ride, straight out from the launch, began at a large island where the buddies were gathered for their an-

nual trip. It was the first weekend of duck season and they were trying a new island. The original, used for the past six years, could be seen in the distance. "If we were there we could have watched the whole thing," Ryan said, adding that no one holds it against the guy who suggested the new site. As fate would have it, the group was sitting around the soon-to-be-lit campfire having a beer before beginning to unpack. The water in front and trees behind meant the horizon was visible on one side only. Someone suggested getting the tents set up because it looked like rain. Others pulled tarps over the camp gear. Wind started blowing stuff around. The sky quickly grew black. It was about 4 p.m. Then all their phones went off at the exact same time. It was a tornado warning. "We started saying how they called for tornadoes about 10 times already and nothing ever happened.

Five minutes later it started to pour. Then we heard crashing in the trees like a herd of cattle coming from the brush." The tornado ripped through from the back. That's when everyone left their shelters and bolted for the water. One guy stayed in his tent to escape the rain. Ryan and others yelled at him to get to the lake. "He couldn't see the trees coming down," Ryan said. "He got out and made it to the water. I almost made it. I saw the tree coming at me and jumped to reach the water. Then I blacked out. When I came to (possibly five seconds later) I crawled to the water." Everyone was calling out to one another: Is everyone OK? I'm OK. So am I. Is everyone else OK? "I was not OK." He was alone in the metre or so of water for about five minutes. There was no pain, but he knew the left leg was broken. And he couldn't move the right foot. It was probably a large branch from a giant pine. He isn't sure. Two guys prepared an aluminum boat that hadn't been

flipped over. A few of them went back the next day to collect their stuff. One had a head injury. Another sprained an ankle. Trees were smashed and scattered like twigs. Had they picked a spot some 50 metres in either direction, the tornado would have been avoided. "It was only the width of a four-lane highway." The black tent his friend was trapped under a pile of trees. There are heroes among that group of friends. Ryan didn't find God that day. It isn't in his nature. He will hunt and fish again, though he is now a fair-weather outdoorsman. He doesn't have any bad dreams and he remains optimistic about his future. However, when the wind and rain kicked up a few days after returning home he felt a little distressed. "I'm definitely scared of windstorms now. I could hear the tree on the house. So, I was a little sketchy there," he said. ""We'll definitely go back. We'll go back to the first island next year. "No more messing with tradition."

RUNTZ WRITES ABOUT HOW CREATURES HAVE ADAPTED MICHAEL RUNTZ Column

Our weather has certainly taken us on a rollercoaster ride recently. Some days it felt like summer, while others had us thinking that winter suddenly arrived. Fortunately, we could deal with those temperature swings by putting on lighter clothing on the hot days and donning gloves and heavy coats on the cold ones. Our wild neighbours do not have the luxury of switching their external clothing. What covers their bodies is all they have for dealing with varying temperatures. Fortunately for them, by now their winter coats are already being grown, so the recent cold

snap likely had little if any effect on them. In preparation for winter, mammals have already put on a layer of short, dense hair next to their skin. This underfur acts just like our thermal underwear in that it traps heat next to the skin. In addition to underfur, their outer layer of guard hairs has grown in longer and denser than it was in their summer coat. This luxurious coat is analogous to our winter parkas and serves the same purpose. Mammals also add a layer of fat under their skin to fend off any cold that penetrates their double layer of hair. Birds that stay here for the winter have also changed their outer layers. Next to the skin, a thicker coat of down feathers has grown, and their outer coat of contour feathers has also increased in bulk. For American goldfinches, tiny birds whose males' appearance has now transformed from brilliant yellow and black to dull olive and brown, the addi-

tional feather growth consists of about 50 per cent more mass than their summer dress. The insulating power of feathers is amazing. A study on black-capped chickadees found a difference of 37 C between the bird's skin and the air just outside its feathers. In other words, almost no body heat was escaping through their feather coats! Animals such as garter snakes and American toads are held hostage by external temperatures and avoid the cold by heading deep into the ground. This behaviour is known as freeze avoidance. Snakes seek rock crevices that lead below the frost line, where temperatures stay a few degrees above the freezing mark all winter. In their hibernacula, the snakes lie in tangled groups, waiting out the winter in a dormant stage. Toads dig down below the frost line where the temperature does not fall below zero. Here, they lie in a death-like state until

spring's warmth revives them. Some animals also prepare for winter by creating warmer retreats. All squirrels have been busy adding bulky, insulating material to their dens. Grey squirrels (which can be grey or black) pack dead leaves inside tree cavities. Red squirrels often add shredded wood or mosses to their ball-like winter retreats. And beavers are now busy adding insulating mud to their lodges. Physiological and behavioural adaptations for dealing with cold temperatures have evolved over thousands of years. How climate change will affect

Michael Runtz/Submitted This Red Squirrel was busy carrying loads of shredded wood fibres to insulate its winter den. animals over the long term is anyone's guess. If warmer conditions do eventually prevail through winter, perhaps our wild neighbours will look at us with envy for our ability to shed warm clothes on abnormally hot days!

TUES, THURS AND SAT FIVE DOLLAR TUESDAY!

Every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday NOW GET $25 Promo Credit! John Carter/Metroland Margie MacKenzie had Chevy all dressed up in a Halloween costume at the Barktoberfest fundraiser lunch for Valley Animal Rescue at Reggie Armonas' Fractured Crow Studio Oct. 20.

PETS, ARTWORK IN SPOTLIGHT AT BARKTOBERFEST JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com Pets and artworks mingled with fall colours as Reggie Armonas hosted a Barktoberfest fundraiser for Valley Animal Rescue Oct. 20. The event attracted a steady stream of visitors to the Fractured Crow Studio near Hurds Lake, giving publicity to both the art and the pet rescue group. VAR has financed three major dog surgeries this year and is lead-

ing the charge to rescue feral cats around the area. So proceeds from a homemade chili lunch, the sale of VAR items (hats, T-shirts, raffle tickets and calendar orders) and photos of pets in Halloween costumes were gratefully received. Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant stopped by to view the studio and support the cause (she noted her family has a rescue dog). The next VAR fundraiser is the Thanks for Giving charity dog wash at Pet Valu in Renfrew at 10 a.m. Friday through Sunday (Oct. 26-28). VAR will also have a booth at the Calabogie Christmas Market in the St. Joseph's school gymnasium in Calabogie Sunday, Nov. 18, 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. More information is available on the VAR Facebook page.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, if you want to be a pioneer, you have to trust yourself and take some risks. Find ways to expand your social circle and attend as many events as you can.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, keep close friends close, but see if there are any opportunities to widen your network. Networking is an important skill to master. It could serve you well.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 A few changes may be heading your way, Sagittarius. These are nothing you cannot handle with grace. Look for opportunities for growth with anything that comes your way.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Do not worry about pleasing everyone, Taurus. Doing so is impossible and will zap you of the energy you need to devote to those who truly matter to you. Value their opinions.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, it is okay to make mistakes if it is a matter of personal growth. Sometimes the most valuable lessons are learned by making a mistake and correcting it.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, sometimes the best ideas come when you aren’t focused on finding solutions to problems. Keep an open mind and all types of different ideas can arrive.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 You are in an amorous mood this week, Gemini. Focus your energy on romantic plans. Develop an idea for a dinner as a couple, or a friends’ night out with others.

February 22, 1918 - October 15, 2018 WW II Veteran Another WW II vet has received his final marching order and is now re-united with all those who have gone before him. Included in that reunion his wife Lila who passed away in 2002; his parents Frank and Margaret, sisters Grace, Mary, Doris, Nora and Gladys and brother Frank, Ray and John. Left to remember and cherish him is his daughter Jan and sisters Joan Barger and Geraldine Kedrosky. AS a child of the depression born into a large family of modest mean, Dad realized at an early age that there were no silver spoons or grand inheritances waiting in his future. Dreams could be realized but only through hard work and perseverance. On February 14, 1941 my father joined the ranks of millions of young men and women and became a member of the greatest generation. As a 23 year old he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force serving as a flight engineer. For the remainder of his years the ex-Sgt, he demonstrated not only his pride of country but his enduring love for the R.C.A.F. After his discharge in 1945, Dad got on with business of building a life. He married, raised a family and worked as a pattern maker for almost 40 years at Haley Industries. Retirement brought with it many enjoyable winters in Florida and he was blessed with a long a remarkable healthy life. A huge thank you goes to the warm and caring staff of the Renfrew Bonnechere Manor where he lived out his final few years with dignity and grace. “Dad you will always be loved and missed by me Jan.” May you not linger on the roads May you not linger in the fields. Time is and time is gone. May you find friends. May you find those you lived. Time is and time is gone. The Castings Visitation was held at the Goulet Funeral Home 310 Argyle St. S Renfrew on Monday October 22nd from 9:00am until 10:00am. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at Our Lady of Fatima Church at 10:30am. Interment St. Francis Xavier Cemetery. Donations in Adam’s name may be made to the Dementia Society. Online condolences/donations may be made at www.gouletfuneralhome.com

WORK TO PREPARE FOR WINTER WAS A COMMUNITY EVENT

AUCTIONS

Classifieds Get Results!

Father had been bringing out logs from the bush for weeks. Big trees, stripped of their small branches and hauled by one horse to the middle of the barn yard. It was a job he did over time, many weeks, and soon the pile was ready for the day the big saw machine would come in our long lane to saw the trees into log sizes to fit the Findlay Oval. The Farmer's Almanac said it would be an early winter that year. So the sawing machine and all the neighbours from around, soon would arrive for the yearly job of preparing the wood to take us through the long winter ahead. Usually the snow was on the ground when woodcutting day arrived. But the Farmer's Almanac, like the Bible, wasn't to be taken lightly. I was allowed to stay home from school that day, as was my sister Audrey. Audrey, much older than I, would be needed to feed dinner to the men who had come to help a neighbour prepare for winter. I could smell the meat roasting in the oven before I got out of bed. Beef and pork, side by side in the Findlay Oval. The biggest pot in the kitchen would hold potatoes, peeled the night before, and enough pies to feed all of Renfrew County were covered with tea towels on the bake table. The pine table wouldn't hold everyone, so two sawhorses with planks and covered with sheets were added to the kitchen, so that all the men could be fed at one time. All morning I would sit at the kitchen window and watch the big logs from our bush being fed into the saw machine, and marvel at how everyone worked so well together. There was no talk, the machine drowned out every other sound, but I could see swirls of smoke from the men's pipes. As the cut logs fell to the ground, they were tossed into a pile and I watched it grow before my eyes. I wondered, as the pile grew, how we would ever manage

to use up all the wood being cut that day. By noon hour the log cutting was finished, and the men filed into the kitchen, dropping their heavy coats at the door, and slipping out of their gum-rubbers. They filled the chairs around the table and the extra place, and dug into the bowls of steaming food like they hadn't eaten in days. The talk was about the winter ahead, and the summer past, and the Depression, and how lucky everyone was to have survived another year. It didn't take long for the meal to be over, and there was no dallying. This was farming. There was no time to sit for idle chatter. The neighbours filed out of the kitchen, said quick goodbyes and headed off to their own farms to finish their work day with their own chores. A team was hitched to the saw machine, now quiet, and headed out the lane. It wouldn't be idle for long. Soon another neighbour would be ready for it, and again, the neighbours would meet and do the job at hand. The pile of cut logs would stay in the yard, but with Father working away at it with the axe every chance he had. Then it was my brother's job to carry the wood into the summer kitchen and pile it into neat rows against the wall. There it would be handy when the wood box had to be filled. The summer kitchen, which in the hot weather held the Findlay Oval, was cleared by then, and ready for the chopped wood. In one corner would be a special pile. This was kindling wood which Father had chopped from bigger logs and would be used to start the morning fire in the kitchen. That day I would again marvel at how the neighbours met and worked together to help each other out. I knew there was a Depression on ... goodness knows it was talked about, but to me on that special day, it could be happening in some other country, far, far way from Northcote.

The Muskrat Watershed Council is looking for volunteers to help plant a healthy buffer of native trees and shrubs on several properties in the Muskrat Lake watershed. Planting will take place on the following dates. Volunteers are asked to be at their assigned site for 9 a.m. • Saturday, Oct. 27, 2018 • Sunday, Oct. 28, 2018 • Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2018 • Saturday, Nov. 3, 2018 • Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2018 It’s not too late to volunteer! Simply pick your day and call or email the Muskrat Watershed Council to register. They will tell you where to meet. muskratwatershedcouncil@gmail.com Karen Coulas, chair, 613-646-2746 coulasdairy@hotmail.com Watersheds Canada, the Muskrat Watershed Council, and Algonquin College’s Office of Applied Research and Innovation are partnering on this shoreline and stream-bank rehabilitation program. A three-year Ontario Trillium Foundation grant will support the program. The Muskrat Lake Watershed experiences frequent blue-green algae blooms and an excess of nutrient inputs, all of which affect the local ecosystem and economy. This program will work toward addressing factors contributing to poor water quality and limited shoreline habitat within the Muskrat Lake Watershed. Working with agricultural and residential property owners, three kilometres (25 hectares total) of degraded shoreline and stream-bank will be improved using 45,000 native plants. The property owners will get a full-service restoration program, which includes the creation of a shoreline restoration plan for their property. Algonquin College students and Watersheds Canada staff will implement the planting, with the help of volunteer planters. Training will be provided on the first day of planting.
