Classic raises $31,000 for hospice
Rob Warren sends this four-wood from 200 yards into a hazard on the 16th hole. Warren led the Renfrew Golf Club men’s championships at that point, but his mishit resulted in a double-bogey six. That gave Stephen Dowd the lead for good, as Warren fell just short in his bid for an 11th men’s title. For details, see Page 12. Mercury photo by Steve Newman

‘Fresh-blood’approach to election
STEVE NEWMAN
George Jackson Toyota owners Dave and Warren La Rocque have drawn their line in the political sand.
They have offered $500 contributions, which is below the $750 limit allowable under the Ontario Municipal Act, to four candidates seeking berths on Renfrew council.
The offer is being made to each and every candi-date who is not currently sitting on council, say the La Rocques.
Three of them accepted the offers, according to Dave La Rocque − councillor-candidates Doug Jan-ney, Jim Miller and Clint McWhirter. Callum Scott, who is a candidate for mayor, turned down the of-fer.
“As far as I’m concerned, for all politicians there are rules and regulations for accepting donations, and as long as you abide by those regulations (that’s okay),” said Janney.
“Even money you put in yourself you have to ac-count for,” added Janney.
“As someone running for councillor, it’s going to cost me $400 for printing, $300 to $400 to mail out fl y-ers, and it would benefi t to have help on the costs.”
Miller, who (like Janney) decided to enter before the George Jackson Toyota contributions were of-fered, said he’d didn’t solicit the money.

From front page“I only want to contribute to the town.
Whether people want to contribute to their (candidates’) campaigns, that’s up to them.”
Miller also says he’s among the candi-dates who might help a stalled council.
“They are stalled, so let’s move them along,” he said.
Scott turned down the offer from War-ren La Rocque without hesitation, even though he says he doesn’t approve of the way town council has treated George Jackson Toyota.
“I basically said thank you, but no thank you,” said Scott.
If he should be so fortunate to be elect-ed mayor, Scott says it would probably al-ways be in the back of taxpayers’ minds why he was making certain business deci-sions, especially if they affected the local Toyota fi rm.
“I wouldn’t take money from anyone ….,” said Scott.
‘NO HIDDEN AGENDA’
Dave La Rocque says there’s no hidden agenda behind the campaign contribu-tions.
“I just want to encourage people to go into municipal politics … if anyone’s run-ning (who’s not now on council) I want to help them out a bit. And I think we need some fresh faces with a different approach to everything.”
George Jackson Toyota is pulling up roots and expanding its small quarters at the north-east end of town to Horton Township. They’re hoping to be in busi-ness in the new quarters by the New
Year. “I have absolutely no animosity toward
the existing council, but we defi nitely need some fresh faces. We need a chang-ing of the guard.
“I’m the kind of guy who doesn’t cry over spilt milk. I move on.”
But the reality of the situation, adds Dave, is that council is stale.
The George Jackson situation isn’t an isolated example, either, he says.
An example of being “major league stale” when it comes to handling business matters effectively, he adds, is the long-standing impasse between the town and
businessman Murray Sullivan. They came to terms after a nearly seven-year impasse.
“The citizens of Renfrew lost out, and I honestly think the Town of Renfrew ‘fathers’ could have addressed it (sooner),” said Dave.
“In our particular situation, there could have been much more awareness of the current econom-ic situation. We have a small com-munity that’s hurting, and I feel the current council has alienated themselves from the needs of the ratepayers who voted them in.”
The $500 offer has been made to every candidate not on council, said La Rocque.
“If they didn’t contact us, we contacted them.”
The George Jackson Toyota owners have decided they would make contributions to a maxi-mum total of $5,000.
“We feel it’s a good asset to en-courage people,” added Dave.
“There are no strings attached, none. Just run, give it a shot. If you get elected, do your best.”

MUNICIPAL ELECTION
STEVE NEWMAN
Jack Kelly says he doesn’t see issues that will separate candidates in the up-coming Admaston-Bromley municipal election.
In fact, he says: “I don’t see any issues in this election.
“I think Admaston-Bromley has been well represented and well served by the council that is there.”
However, he hopes his tenure as coun-cil’s longest-standing member carries some weight, especially if he faces an op-ponent.
At this writing, incumbent Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe, 67, remained unde-cided if she is running for another term as mayor, but admitted she’ll likely seek another term.
With or without Briscoe as an oppo-nent, Kelly fi gured it was time to take the next step after 19 years in municipal politics.
With his decision to run for mayor, he brings strong opinions on land manage-ment and provincial government fund-
ing, but no axe to grind. Kelly, 52, says he has no beefs with any of the current council mem-bers, but certainly with the provincial govern-ment.
In the coming term, he says municipal coun-cils have to continue to push for the provincial government’s promise to provide farm tax re-bates and managed for-est rebates to the mu-nicipalities.
There has been a tax shortfall the govern-ment hasn’t made up, and council has to con-tinue to push the issue with help from the As-sociation of Municipalities of Ontario, says Kelly.
Kelly is a postal worker (the past two years) who previously worked 24 years with Crozier Excavating. He also con-tinues to run a cow-calf operation with
about 25 head of cattle. “I know all my cows
by name, and they know me,” says Kelly.
A native of Mount St. Patrick, he and wife Catherine have four children, James, Tyler, Crystal and Amanda. The family also has no family doctor.
DOCTOR RECRUITMENT
Most Admaston-Bromley residents don’t have family doctors, says Kelly in identifying family doctor shortages as the most vital issue facing all area munici-pal councils.
“It all seems to be based on dollars,” he says of physicians that municipalities continue to try to recruit.
“No matter where you look,” adds Kel-ly, “(recruitment of doctors is) based on who can pay the bigger dollar, and if they
have the services, i.e., swimming pool, schools, and that there’s something for the spouse, be it a job or social life.”
But there are other reasons for coming to an area to put down professional roots, he says.
“I think it’s the most beautiful place in Canada.
“Why wouldn’t you want to come here? he says about the possibility of coming to the Renfrew area.
“With our proximity to the city (of Ot-tawa) and the four lanes (with Highway 417 moving past Arnprior) we can offer as much as bigger urban centres can.”
Kelly, like other four council members, was acclaimed in the last election.
For councillors, that may happen again. For mayor, Kelly may face a battle with one of the most visible politicians in the county.
“Raye-Anne (Briscoe) is extremely knowledgeable. There’s no doubt about it,” says Kelly.
“She’s knowledgeable and well known, and that’s important when you’re in mu-nicipal politics.”

Pratt to run for Greater Madawaska council positionJOHN CARTER
Incumbent councillor John Pratt will run again for a spot on Greater Madawaska council.
However, he’s keeping his op-tions open until early Septem-ber when he’ll decide whether he’ll run for reeve or Ward One (Calabogie area) councillor.
Pratt, who has served one term on council, said Monday that he will run on fi ve major is-sues. His top priority is to “give seasonal ratepayers a break.” Council needs to come up with a long overdue plan to assist the cottagers, many of whom have been affected by substantial assessment increases to their
properties, he noted.He said such a plan would
“not cost a lot, but show the peo-ple some recognition.” He said such things as grading private roads occasionally and splitting the cost of gravel 50-50 could be instituted.
Pratt’s second plank is to im-prove the township’s account-ability for complaints. There needs to be a minimum 30-day staff response time, less when it’s urgent, he said. “Like the po-lice, we need to get back to peo-ple (when there’s a complaint).”
Pratt also wants to see council provide more encouragement and recognition for volunteers. “Some of them are getting very weary,” he said. “They need to
know they are appreciated.”He also pledges to continue
to explore ways to work with McNab-Braeside on sharing a recreation director so more em-phasis can be put on recreation programs for youth in the town-ship.
Pratt also has two heritage initiatives in mind. He’d like to see a small museum built at Barnet Park to safely house the township’s historical items and documents.
“We could take good ideas from Waba Cottage at White Lake,” he said. “They do a fan-tastic job.”
Greater Madawaska needs to “capture its history … before it slips away,” he said.
Pratt wants to promote a long-term plan to designate the K&P a heritage trail. With the help from funding from all levels of government, it could be protect-ed as a four-season recreational trail from Kingston to Renfrew, he said.
“I realize it will probably take seven or eight years, but I be-lieve it’s doable. If we don’t do it, it could be gone and we won’t get it back.”
Reeve Peter Emon is expected to run again for council’s top spot, but says he still hasn’t com-pletely made up his mind.
Former Bagot and Blythfi eld reeve JR Easton was the only of-fi cial reeve candidate as of Mon-day.
Time to take next political step, says Coun. Kelly

MUNICIPAL ELECTION
Green seeking another term as Renfrew’s reeveSTEVE NEWMAN
Since 1972 there have been few years Audrey Green hasn’t sat on Renfrew council.
And next year will be no dif-ferent, if the veteran municipal politician defeats Councillor Kate Windle and anyone else who enters the race for reeve.
“I don’t even refer to myself as a politician,” says Green.
“I think it’s become a way of life … I think it’s taken a long time to get a tough enough skin to love this kind of life because, don’t kid yourself, you do live it.”
She admits compliments are few and far between, but says it’s all about trying to make Renfrew a productive community.
“When I can’t sleep I’ll get out, but I haven’t reached that day,” says Green, whose husband John retired in 1989 and died the same year.
The 70-something reeve − and mother of four adult-age chil-dren whom she calls her “good strong supporters” − says she’s glad to seek another term of of-
fi ce.“I’m still the same person I
was. Politics has not gone to my head. I’m still me. You can talk to me.”
And, besides, should she lose, she says she will always have a Plan B.
Green, who calls herself one of the instigators of the Ren-frew industrial park in the mid 1980s, says government grants were helpful in getting that park going. But she says the park re-ally evolved into a commercial area that today contains such mainstays as Wal-Mart, Cana-dian Tire and No Frills.
MUDSLINGING CAMPAIGN
After losing a mudslinging race for mayor in 1992 to Howie Haramis, Green didn’t run for council again until the late 1990s, when she was elected reeve.
She has remained reeve since then and the town’s representa-tive on county council.
Today, Green is one of six fe-male Renfrew County council-lors, but she vividly remembers what she was told when she be-
came the one and only female on county council in 1974.
“I was told I could go home and get my cheque every month because the men certainly knew what they were doing,” she re-calls.
Now joined on council by Ann Aikens, Raye-Anne Briscoe, Jan-
ice Visneskie, Tammy Stewart and Mary Campbell, and 11 male county councillors, she says: “It’s a completely changed world. My name isn’t Mrs. John Green any more. It’s Audrey Green.”
Those female members are also active and prominent, es-pecially Visneskie, Briscoe and Aikens with committee chair-ships.
TOYOTA SITUATION
In her own backyard, Green acknowledges Renfrew coun-cil has faced recent challenges, like the impending departure of George Jackson Toyota after balking at a $1.5 million, then a reduced $750,000, security depos-it to expand its business in the town’s southeastern corridor.
After the company’s move to Horton, where a new busi-ness site is now being prepared, Green concludes: “I’ve learned that this should never happen again … so it’s not an embar-rassment to both parties.
“With Renfrew, we’re still a very small community,” adds Green.
“But I can’t, or don’t, ever want us becoming an overfl ow-ing city. And we never will be-cause we’re surrounded by Hor-ton and Admaston-Bromley. But I think we could do a better job to let ourselves be better known to the rest of the world.
“We have to develop some kind of project that is contin-ual,” adds Green, who says she has one in mind, but for privacy reasons can’t say what that is right now.
Meanwhile, she says the town’s new master plan for rec-reation and culture should help.
“I feel there are many things (other than just the pool) that we have classifi ed and identifi ed as important, and started.
She also remains closely linked to heritage issues.
A past president of Heritage Renfrew, she and Councillor Tom Anderson will bring rec-ommendations forward to coun-cil this fall to enhance how the town deals with heritage issues.
Away from council, she loves cats, is an avid reader, and en-joys fi shing and swimming at her cottage and oil painting.

Meet several of the town’s summer-student employees. Introduced at the July 12 Renfrew town council meeting, each was presented with a town pin. From left are Andrew Green, Spencer Warren, Melissa Whalen, Katelynn Black, Danny Lennie, Mayor Sandi Heins, Stephanie Logan, Emily Mann, Jessica Smith, Brooke McWhirter and Blair McCulloch. About 15 summer students are working at the library, or with parks and recreation, de-velopment and works and the treasury department. Grant assistance from the federal and provincial governments has facilitated their hiring. Mayor Heins says the summer hirings offer “an opportunity for various departments to do some projects.” Examples are day camp, the household hazardous waste program and tourism information.

SUMMER STUDENT-EMPLOYEES
After working at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre canteen for 12 years, Nicole Berube has a three-year contract to run the canteen.
Previously paid an hourly wage, she will now pay rent to run the canteen year-round.
“It’s a combination of sporadic results with canteen sales and staffi ng issues,” says recreation director KelleyWhitman-McKie of the town’s move to the new contract.
“It’s an opportunity to try something different.”
The contract calls for Berube to pay $6,000 for rent in the fi rst year, $6,120 the second year and $6,240 the third year, in addition to applicable taxes. The contract takes effect Sept. 1, 2010.
Town council unanimously approved the contract Monday (Aug. 16) after council and staff entertained proposals from Ber-ube, and another from Brent Sylvester, Dustin Zohr and Paul Sylvester who have experience as managers and cooks.
The tenant holds exclusive rights to sell refreshments, food and drink in the Ma-Te-Way Ac-tivity Centre, home to hockey, skating and ringette at the rink level and a wide variety of uses upstairs.
Canteen contract for BerubeNo rental party shall
be allowed to serve food in the lobby without the consent of the town and in consultation with Berube.
The town, as landlord,
is to keep in working order the microwave oven, hot dog roller, pizza warmer, popcorn maker, deep fryer and upright freezer. See CANTEEN, Page 8

6 OPINIONEDITORIAL
No question about it, George Jackson Toyota owners Dave and Warren La Rocque have drawn their line in the local political sand.
They have offered, and will continue to offer, $500 contributions to each candidate for Renfrew council, with one particular stipulation: They must not currently sit on council.
They say fresh blood is needed, so they want to encourage those very candidates.
To date, three of four candidates, Doug Janney, Clint McWhirter and Jim Miller, have accepted the campaign contributions. Mayoral candidate Callum Scott has not because he says any future decisions, should he be elected, could be clouded by George Jackson Toyota’s contribution ... at least in the eyes of taxpayers.
To some, the donations may smack of partisan politics. But when is politics not partisan? You pick a candidate. Or you support certain issues and see who backs those issues with logic, imagi-nation and truthfulness.
The La Rocques say they don’t bear a grudge. As Dave puts it: it’s time to move on, no matter who you think was right in the handling of the George Jackson Toyota expansion that ended up going to Horton when Renfrew council couldn’t fi nd a way to keep the business here.
The $500 isn’t a lot, considering Renfrew’s mayoral candidates can spend up to $12,860 and councillor candidates up to $10,360.
But the La Rocques’ contributions sure make the election race a whole lot more interesting.

To the editor:It’s off !The Ministry of Health and Long Term
Care has received Bonnechere Health Centre’s application for a nurse practitio-ner-led clinic, all 50-plus pages made up of 26 pages of application plus more than 30 pages of supporting documents.
There are a many individuals and or-ganizations that deserve thanks. Thanks to our committee members who chipped in to make this application a success. Special thanks to Preston O’Grady who spent countless hours (days) putting the package together and carrying out other duties so the package is arranged in a manner that is understandable.
Preston has already received compli-mentary remarks from the Ministry of Health and they are going to use our ap-plication as a bench mark for other appli-cants.
Thanks again, Preston, for a very pro-fessional job.
If our application is successful, the nurse practitioner-led clinic will provide much needed primary health care to our community. It is based on the premise that individuals are entitled to “the right care, at the right place, at the right time.”
In addition to primary health care, the application also contains a wellness com-ponent. This component is designed to encourage a healthier life style for resi-dents of our community.
ACCORDING TO STATS CANADA
According to Statistics Canada and the Champlain Local Health Integration Net-work, the population health indicators for Renfrew County demonstrate high prevalence rates for hypertension, diabe-tes, and obesity.
These statistics, combined with a high percentage of seniors, result in greater demand on and utilization of health ser-vices.
To that end, we will offer diabetes edu-cation, cardiovascular awareness, chron-ic disease self-management and geriatric safe home programs.
This is a total community project. Thanks go out to all the organization and individuals who have provided letters of support to this project.
Special thanks to St. Francis Memo-rial Hospital in Barry’s Buy, Pembroke Regional Hospital, and Renfrew Victoria Hospital who have given their unequivo-cal support.
Also special thanks to a local entrepre-neur who has offered to build a 4,000- to 5,000-square-foot clinic in our communi-ty if we are allocated funding for a clinic. We still have Dr. Good’s former offi ce for
immediate occupancy; however, a new clinic is required for long-term plans.
No clinic can operate without profes-sional people.
Special thanks to the three nurse prac-titioners who have indicated their intent to practice or offer their services in our community, the doctors who have vol-unteered to act as consults to the nurse practitioners.
Other professionals are expected to in-clude, a nurse, a physiotherapist, a dieti-tian, an administrator and two adminis-trative assistants.
Also, special thanks go to our MPP John Yakabuski who is putting his sup-port behind our application.
Now we wait.

LETTER
To the media,Just a note to say thanks for the
excellent coverage you gave to the occurrences of giant hogweed in Renfrew County and other parts of Ontario.
I believe you saved many peo-ple a trip to their local hospital’s emergency department, and gave many others an explanation for injuries that they had previously sustained, not realizing that they had been exposed to hogweed or wild parsnip.
The media coverage has defi -nitely stopped the spread of gi-ant hogweed here in our county, and probably in other parts of the province as well.
An added bonus is you’ve raised the question of who should be dealing with invasive species, and how much of an economic, health and environmental impact they are having on our province.

From Page 5The regular operating schedule will generally
be 4 to 11 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The concession stand will remain open until at least the start of the regularly-scheduled ice bookings, unless pre-viously agreed to by the director of parks and rec-reation.
The plan also calls for Berube to have the can-teen open for other events, outside the winter sea-son, at Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

LOCALS: The water is very low in the Bonnechere River at present, lower, in fact it is said than it has been for the past seven or eight years. Last week some young men down the river found the waters so low that they had no dif-fi culty in crossing the stream without wetting their feet by simply stepping from stone to stone in the bed of the river. – Mr. and Mrs. A. Ritza and their daughter Anne left last week on a short visit to friends at Sault Ste. Ma-rie, Mich., and to their son Alex at Do-ver, Ont. – Mrs F.M. Devine and Mrs. McDermott spent last week with the Misses Mackay at the latter’s summer home “Mauds Camp” Calabogie.TICKETS ISSUED: The following tick-ets were issued by Mr. James Clark to homeseekers and others for the west last week. Mrs. Wm. Watson and Miss Agnes Ferguson, who have been visit-ing Mrs. Alex McLaughlin, to Calgary, Cecil Humphries, Misses Mary and Margaret Gillespie, Wm. McNevin, Mrs. Frank Gibson and Miss Jessie, Donald McCallum, Wm. Thom, Allen Ferguson, George Easton, Rudolph Thom, Ida Hanneman, John Quast, Thomas Coumbes, Henry Webster, C.A. Somer, John Arthur, F. Gemmille, Frank Delway, Clifton Robertson, Lloyd Courtryman, Fred Seimanting, Ivan St George and William Cham-
bers. Tickets were also issued to Miss Rachel Knight to Boston, Mass., and to Mr. Thomas Halliday to Vancouver on Tuesday last.

The power of an Independent Member of Parliament can be immense, and that’s the kind of power that can better serve your needs in Ottawa. Any government needs votes to get legislation passed, and for my backing, they’ll have to play ball with the people of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke. Lately, our interests have been ignored.
AND THAT HAS TO STOP !!As your Independent Member of Parliament, I’ll goto bat for Renfrew County as someone who, byvirtue of my independence and experience, willcarry more clout than any cabinet minister.

Limit some social housing to seniors, say county councillors Stack and Green
Taggart named to LaurentianUniversity’s board of regents
Stuart Taggart has been ap-pointed to Laurentian Univer-sity’s board of regents.
A graduate of the Sudbury, Ont., university in 1972, he is active in the community with community agencies, service clubs and organizations, in-cluding the North Bay Presb-utery of the United Church of Canada.
He received his elementary school education in Perth and Renfrew, where he graduated from Renfrew Collegiate Insti-tute before joining the Cana-dian Army.
After his military training,
he became a school teacher. He was also an insurance agent.
Married to Elva (nee Storey) of Trout Creek, they have three children, Charles of Calgary, and Christina and Catherine of Trout Creek.
His father was Roy Taggart, who lived in Renfrew from 1946 until his death in 1997.
Taggart says his dad was a life member of the Renfrew Royal Canadian Legion and the last living charter member of 433 (Champlain) wing of the Air Force Association of Canada.
Taggart lived in Renfrew un-til 1958.
JOHN CARTER
Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack said he and Renfrew Reeve Au-drey Green are promoting a move that would designate some social housing complexes strict-ly for seniors.
The two reeves will bring a motion to that effect to Renfrew County council’s Aug. 25 meet-ing. It will ask municipalities to lobby the province to relax the policy dictating social housing developments be open to all.
Stack said that because of “real legitimate concerns” about
safety and other issues, it is ap-propriate for some units to be for seniors only.
Green has expressed sympa-thy for efforts by seniors living in the social housing complex at
236 Hall Ave. to have it return to a seniors-only designation.
Residents have circulated peti-tions asking for more security at the complex, which in the past year has seen a murder and sev-
eral small arson fi res.Some residents complain that
the problems have accelerated dramatically since it was opened to all ages about a dozen years ago.
United support for Community LivingCommunity Living Renfrew
County South has received a $1,500 grant from Renfrew Coun-ty United Way (RCUW).
The grant will help a summer camp sponsored by Community Living and attended by about 30 individuals and their families.
Such funds are raised dur-ing RCUW’s annual campaign, which will run from Sept. 1 to Dec. 9 this year.
United Way supports several summer camps for children, in-cluding the Canadian Diabetes Association’s Camp Banting for
children with type 1 diabetes, the Darlene Aikens Memorial Sum-mer Camp sponsored by Family and Children Services of Ren-frew County, and Community Living Upper Ottawa Valley’s camp for children with develop-mental disabilities.
“The United Way − thanks to the ongoing generosity of people and businesses in our county − is proud to be a part of efforts to meet some of these high prior-ity needs,” said Cathi Fairfi eld, Arnprior-based chair of RCUW’s funds distribution committee.

First Renfrew Golf Club titles to Dowd and Lacroix
There has been some interesting base-ball turned in by the Toronto Blue Jays this summer, particulary over the past couple of weeks.
There was catcher J.P. Arencibia’s incredible debut Aug. 7. He became the fi rst player since 1900 to have four hits and two home runs in his fi rst game.
And the next day, Brandon Morrow missed out on a no-hitter by one batter but struck out 17 in a 1-0 win.
The Blue Jays also lead the world in home runs with 182 entering Tuesday night’s action, paced by Jose Bautista who is closing in on 40.
Unfortunately, despite all of this, the Blue Jays hover 9-10 games behind the wild card leader. As the case has been since Joe Carter’s World Series-winning three-run shot in 1993, there will be no meaningful baseball again in September.
But if the Blue Jays can keep most of this nucleus together, perhaps hopes of regaining some glory may be not too far down the road.
Who makes the schedule? Hamilton and Winnipeg have already completed their four-game regular-season series, and it’s only seven weeks into the 2010 CFL season. They also met in the fi nal exhibition game before the start of the season. That’s fi ve meetings in eight weeks.
Junior B Wolves training camp: Tuesday through Thursday, Aug. 24, 25 and 26 from 8 to 10 p.m. at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. Tryout cost is $100.
Wolves general manager Brent Syl-vester can be reached for more details at 613-432-7572.
The Wolves have pre-season games against the Stittsville Royals Thursday, Sept. 2 and Shawville, Tuesday, Sept. 7 at the MAC. Both are 8 p.m. starts.
The 2010-11 regular season opens Sun-day, Sept. 12 (after the fair). The Wolves host the Perth Blue Wings at 7 p.m.
* * * Jim Thome of the Minnesota Twins is
second among active Major League play-ers, now with 580 home runs. I wonder if ESPN will do live cuts-ins of every Thome at-bat, the way they did with A-Rod when the Yankees third-baseman sat on 599.
And for this week: Name two active players who have a World Series ring with both the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox.

PETER CLARKPETER’S PUTTERINGS
STEVE NEWMAN
Most players were talking about how the weather threatened to highjack the second round of the Renfrew Golf Cham-pionships Sunday.
But when it came down to it, the on-again, off-again rain, high winds and high humidity challenged the players to gain control of their games.
Several did, including Stephen Dowd of Arnprior and Cindy Lacroix of Ottawa with their fi rst-ever men’s and women’s titles at the Renfrew Golf Club.
“I’ve never played in such extreme con-
ditions,” said player Margaret Agnew. “It was crazy. If it wasn’t raining, it was
windy or it was hot.”The rain subsided later into the fi nal
round, when the rain stayed away until moments after the gripping men’s title was decided.
Rob Warren was seeking his 11th Ren-frew Golf Club men’s championship, but the 16th hole was his undoing. He hit his second shot, a four-wood from 200 yards on the par-four, into the hazard and emerged with a double-bogey six.
Warren led by two shots, only to take a four-putt, triple-bogey on the 10th to square the match.
“I don’t know the last time I four-putt-ed,” said Warren.
However, the 10-time club champion re-gained the lead with a birdie on the 13th after hitting an eight-iron within seven feet.
Then came the two-shot swing in Dowd’s favour on the 16th. Dowd avoided a tie for fi rst by chipping from the edge of the 16th green and sinking a four-foot putt.
DELICATE 12-FOOTER
It appeared Dowd might be caught when he left his tee-shot below the green on the par-three 17th, but he salvaged a par with a delicate downhill 12-footer.
Warren just missed a makeable birdie to remain one stroke back. Both men bird-ied the downhill par-fi ve 18th that was playing only 440 yards to leave Dowdwith his fi rst-ever Renfrew Golf Club title, but hardly his fi rst men’s title.
Dowd, who turned 54 Sunday, has also won titles with clubs in Hamilton, Peter-borough, Dartmouth, and Beloeil, Que.
Dowd and Warren both hit second shots on the 18th to the back of the green. Fac-ing delicate downhill chips, Dowd hit within four feet and sank his birdie putt, after Warren made his from about 12 feet.
Defending B Division champion Vi Rossy didn’t have the best of days, but she holes this putt on the 18th hole to fi nish in style. Mercury photos by Steve Newman
After fi nishing second three times in the men’s championship, Dowd said, “We didn’t even know if we were going to play today (Sunday), so that was a little nerve-wracking.”
In the end, Dowd said putting was key.
“I made a lot of clutch, par putts.”He also won against a regular playing
partner..“Rob is a tremendous competitor,” said
the new champion. See RENFREW, Page 19

The Dragonfl y Golf Links hosted the 2010 Ottawa PGA Ju-nior Challenge Tour champion-ship and awards Friday.
The junior tour featured four events – played at Greyhawk, Mississippi, Canadian Golf and Country Club, and the Carleton Golf & Yacht Club since June 30 – before Friday’s fi nale.
Three Dragonfl y juniors made their presence felt.
Cooper Brown fi nished in a two-way tie for fourth place in the boys 14-16 age division on championship day, and captured the overall hardware for total points over the fi ve tournaments, based on the best three scores. His performance was highlight-
ed by two fi rst-place fi nishes and a second place.
Brown is also one of four members on the team that will represent the Ottawa region at the Ontario Junior Team Cham-pionships being held Aug. 30 to Sept. 1 at Deerhurst Resort in Huntsville.
“There are about a dozen (ju-nior) tours in Ontario,” said Kevin Haime, owner of the Kev-in Haime Golf Centre in Ottawa and award-winning golf school, as he announced Brown and his three Ottawa region teammates.
“Teams come from Toronto, Hamilton, and several other re-gions throughout the province,” Haime noted.
Jonah O’Connor registered one second-place fi nish in the junior tour, and was also runner-up in
the total points race.A third Dragonfl y
junior, Trevor Vooght,
posted both a second and fourth-place fi nish during this year’s tour.

The Ren-frew Blue Un-der-12 Valley United Soccer League team has brought the 2010 season to an exciting end.
The team fi nished regu-l a r - s e a s o n play third in a nine-team loop with a record of 8-3-and-1 in 12 games. Op-ponents came from Arnprior, Renfrew, Ope-ongo, Petawawa and Deep River.
The Blue squad then topped the Ren-frew Green team in the quarter-fi nal round of the playoffs,, and outlasted Petawawa 2-1 in the semifi nal.
It was on to the fi nal in the home of the fi rst-place Deep River team Aug. 11.
The game proved to be a chal-lenging battle.
In a regular soccer match of two 30-minute halves, the teams exchanged scoring chances, but remained scoreless.
Two 10-minute overtime ses-
sions solved nothing on the scoreboard, which brought the game to a shootout.
There was no shortage of goals there as the local squad outscored Deep River 5-4 to win the league title.
The Renfrew Blue team in the Boys under-12 division of the Valley United Soccer League captured the league championship in Deep River Aug. 11. In front row from left are Cole Turcotte, Nicholas Fleguel, Ben Shields, Shaughn Reid, Cameron Iob, Axel Brisbois, Dawson Brown; and back row, Ryan Pettigrew, Jordan Vandersleen, Ben Scheuneman, John Bossy, Charlie Strader, Daniel Hibbins, and Brody Cone.

From Page 12“He (Warren) never gives up.
You have to fi ght him to the end.” Looking on were other contend-
ers for the men’s title, Roger Iob of Renfrew and Stephane Pare, 15, of Fort-Coulonge.
By day’s end, Dowd was the winner with a three-over score of 74-71−145. Warren was 146 af-ter sharing the fi rst-day lead with Iob at 72. Iob emerged third in 148 and Pare fourth at 150.
The B division title of the championship, sponsored by Ot-tawa Valley Physiotherapy, went to Donald Carty at 79-79 − 158 to win by a single stroke over Dave Hall, Ken Koops, Andy Oliver and Kip Mulvihill. Sean Miller’s 80-82 − 162 took the C division, while John David captured the D divi-sion with a 179 off rounds of 84 and 95.
WOMEN’S CHAMPION
In the decade she has played the game, this is her best, says 2010 women’s champion Cindy Lacroix.
“I’m putting well this year. I haven’t played as much this year, but I’m playing better. It’s all com-ing together.”
The weather gods didn’t co-op-erate, but Lacroix said she likes playing in unfavourable condi-tions.
On the par-fi ve 10th, with the rain holding off, Lacroix’s two-stroke lead jumped to four when MacNeil double-bogeyed to Lac-roix’s par..
“She played terrifi c,” said Mac-Neil after Lacroix won by three strokes with a 79-84 −163 on the par-72 layout.
“She played steady. She was in the zone. She deserved to win.”
Lacroix says she has never won a club golf championship before, but says that’s not why she plays the game in Renfrew.
“This course and the people here (are the reason). “I couldn’t care if I won.
“It’s always nice to win, but I’m competitive with myself, not against anyone else.”
She also gives some of the cred-it for her game to her dad, who’s 75 and still playing. “He taught me,” she says.
MacNeil took second place at 82-84 − 166, while the respective B and C division winners were Alex Legris (90-101 − 191) and Jacqui Guilbeault (100-110 − 210).
Legris won by three shots over Anne-Marie Beanish-Millar and Kim Vandewouw.

EDUCATION
Shields seeks re-election as public board trusteeSTEVE NEWMAN
Dave Shields of Beachburg is seeking another term as trustee with the Renfrew County Dis-trict School Board.
He is the incumbent for the townships of Admaston-Brom-ley and Whitewater Region and therefore representative for Ren-frew Collegiate Institute, Fel-lowes and Opeongo high schools, as well as elementary schools in Admaston-Bromley, Beachburg, Cobden and Westmeath.
After 17 years as a trustee, the 64-year-old is seeking another term while stressing the need for more funding for special ed-ucation, more technology train-ing for teachers, and more nutri-tional information for students and parents.
“We need a coordinated ef-fort for advice on good nutri-tion and physical activity out-side school,” said Shields. “I’ve seen enough poor health habits (among students).”
He suggests a site, such as the Whitewater Health Centre in Beachburg, could play a co-ordinating role because obesity, diabetes and cancer tend to stem from bad health habits.
He says the Ministry of Health should also have a role to play in such a project.
“There needs to be some col-laboration,” said Shields.
Elected board vice-chair in 2005 and 2006, he was the chair in 2007 and 2008.
Starting in 1984, Shields was a trustee for nine years. He re-turned to serve as a trustee in
2002 and has remained on the school board since then.
He now chairs the budget and fi nance committees, sits on all
major committees, and is part of ad hoc committees for character education, information technol-ogy and communications, and the director’s review committee.
Also, in June 2010 he was elected eastern regional vice-president of the Ontario Public School Board Association (OPS-BA).
Consequently, he represents six public school boards in an area that runs from Belleville to the Quebec border.
“Being fully retired gives me an opportunity to serve at a pro-vincial level without interfer-ing with the duties at my own
board,” said Shields.The board’s $2 million short-
fall in special education last year concerns him.
But he says his role with OPS-BA “positions me to lobby the provincial government to revise the funding model for special
education.” He says the problem is “shared by most boards in the province and is an OPSBA prior-ity.”
JOHN CARTER
Serving 26 years on the Renfrew County District Catholic School Board, in-cluding seven terms as chairman, has not dimmed Andy Bray’s enthusiasm for the role.
“I’m enjoying it and think it’s worth-while work,” said Bray, who has fi led his papers to again run to represent Arnprior, McNab-Braeside and Great-er Madawaska on the board.
“I think I’ve still got something to of-fer. I like the people I’m working with and I like represent-ing the people,” he
said.Bray, who lives in
Braeside, said he is particularly proud of his work in en-couraging the form-ing of school coun-cils before it became mandatory. “We saw that it was coming, so we took the initia-tive and went ahead with them,” he said, adding it is gratify-ing to see parental involvement in the school system.
He chaired the committee estab-lished in the early 1990s to set up school councils and contin-ues to play an active role in the committee that ensures board and parent council communication re-mains strong.
He said he feels a good trustee should be involved in all is-sues coming before the board. In that vein, he prefers to chair ad-hoc com-mittees, leaving new-er trustees to gain experience chairing the board’s major committees.
He says he is proud of the successes of local schools, par-ticularly in the im-provements in lit-eracy. Schools such as John XXIII and St. Joseph’s are “do-ing great things,” he said.
Bray has also served as a director of the Ontario Cath-olic School Trustees Association for the past three years.

In the likely challenge with Briscoe, Kelly says he would bring to the political arena a lengthy background in the con-struction industry and rural life in general, and the opportunity to benefi t from his years working with other council members.
“It has been extremely satisfy-
ing,” said Kelly.“It’s been one of the greatest
experiences and educations I could ever have had.”
In fact, he says news he was running for mayor has met with positive community response.
“I’ve had quite a few people call me and congratulate me, and tell me I had their support.”
MUNICIPAL ELECTION
Positive community response
From Page 6Perhaps this will stir the provincial or federal government to ac-
tion — a lack of a strategy, and the lack of a level of government being responsible for invasive species is a glaring omission in this province right now.
I think we have something in the neighbourhood of 185 invasive species in the Great Lakes basin alone.
Now, if only we could get you all interested in using wood to pro-duce energy instead of solar or wind.
Thanks again.

Johnston, Kennedy join Greater Madawaska Ward One council raceJOHN CARTER
There will be an election race in Greater Madawaska Township, at least in Ward one (Calabogie area).
First-time candidates Vincent John-ston and Donna Marie Kennedy have joined Marie Buscomb in the contest for the two Ward One councillor posi-tions.
Kennedy is a retired teacher and former president of the Ontario Eng-lish Catholic Teachers Association (OECTA).
Johnston operated Renfrew Auto Sales for more than 20 years and re-cently began a career in real estate sales with Century 21 Eady Realty in Renfrew. A Calabogie Lions Club mem-
ber, he has served in various executive positions.
Kennedy’s family has been summer-ing in the area for 60 years. After retir-ing three years, ago, she moved to the township permanently, living along the K&P Trail in the Barryvale area.
She has taught in such diverse com-munities as Toronto, Ottawa and May-nooth. As well as teaching special edu-cation students, she has served on the board of the L’Arche organization in Arnprior.
Heading up the 35,000-member OEC-TA for four years gave her experience in the workings and politics of orga-nizations that she’d like to put to good use serving on council, she said.
Kennedy said she’s learned that co-operation and good-will are both nec-
essary if organizations and councils are to function effi ciently, particularly if they have to balance such diverse in-terests as is the case in Greater Mada-waska. “There’s always a reasonable solution possible if you work togeth-er,” she said.
“This area’s been very good to my family … we have many fond memo-ries,” she said. “So I’d like to contrib-ute in return.”
Johnston, who has lived in the Hurd’s Lake area with his wife Paula for 15 years, wants to use his Lions Club community service experience on council to benefi t the community.
He has experience running his own business, having operated Renfrew Auto Sales and Services and Budget Car and Truck Rentals on Stewart
Street in Renfrew up until last year. Born and raised in the Renfrew area, he is an avid outdoorsman.
McGarry seeks tosucceed Ryan in Ward 2
JOHN CARTER
With sitting councillor Tom Ryan indicating he’s not running again for the Ward 2 (Brougham) seat on Greater Madawaska council, his cousin has entered the race.
Michael McGarry has fi led his papers to run for council in the Oct. 25 election.
The Mount St. Patrick resident said he’d like to carry on with things Ryan started. “There’s al-ways room for improvement, but
generally I like the way things are going,” he said.
McGarry said he wants to keep taxes low, bring high-speed Internet to the Brougham area and continue on with the landfi ll transformations, which he says are working well.
He said he was raised by Ryan’s parents, so “he’s like a brother to me.”
McGarry was a steam-fi tter who worked in the Ottawa area for years and was a member of the United Association of Plumb-ers and Pipefi tters.

NATURE
A fl ock of about 15 common nighthawks (once called mos-quito hawks of the nightjar family) were heard hunting for insects during the evening of August 10th, 2010 at Jack and Jane Clark’s cottage on Mount St Patrick. The clouds were low-er than the surrounding hills but the birds could still be heard making a loud, “booming” sound as they dove through the air. The “booming” sound is made as air passes swiftly through the bird’s wing and tail feathers. It is be-lieved the sound is part of the courtship display and continues throughout the nesting season and during migration.
Margaret Robertson saw sev-eral nighthawks “hawking” or catching insects in the early eve-ning this past week in Renfrew. She described the birds as fl ying with great agility, dipping and weaving in every direction as they hunted for fl ying insects.
The analysis of the stomach contents has shown that in a sin-gle day one nighthawk captured over 500 mosquitoes and another ate 2100 fl ying ants. During fl ight the very sensitive whiskers that surround the wide, fl at mouth direct insects into the bird’s gape. The tragedy of the situa-tion is that these very effi cient insect eaters are on the decline due mainly to loss of habitat and the use of insecticides on their wintering grounds in Mexico and Central America. At one time the birds could be heard “booming” during early summer evenings over town and country. Now they are silent.
LOONS AT FERGUSLEA
Shelley O’Nanski saw a Com-mon Loon in the creek in Fer-guslea. The bird was very likely fi shing for minnows, snails or grayfi sh. It is unusual for a loon, a rather large bird, to be seen in a small creek where it cannot become airborne and walking is not one of their best skills.
Ten or 11 weeks must pass after hatching before the young can fl y from their home lake al-though they have been known to walk from their home lake to a larger lake. When home lakes begin to freeze over both
adults and young gather in large groups and migrate to the sea-coasts where they winter.
The following spring the young remain on the inshore salt water and do not return un-til they are mature which may take up to fi ve years. When they return to their home lake they are not always welcome as small lakes usually support only one pair, larger lakes two.
GREAT BLUE HERONS
Shane, Andrea and Jack Cruise and Mack Bruce spent a week at a cottage on Prince Ed-ward Island. One fraction of the interesting wildlife they saw was a fl ock of 30 Great Blue Herons that came to feed on the shore when the tide was going out. Jack said the birds fed on any-thing that moved: snails, crabs, shrimps and sand worms.
The birds did not come ashore but remained in the shallow wa-ter to feed. The birds that feed along the ocean shore generally do not migrate preferring to re-main where the food is abundant rather than move to an unknown territory.
When land birds like the Great Blue Heron partake of salt wa-ter animals they ingest a certain amount of sea salt which makes its way into the blood stream. To balance the salt content in the blood, nature has provided the birds with salt glands that are located just above the eyes. The salty solution from the glands is drained from the body through the nose.
It is not clear whether the her-ons and other land birds take in enough salt to activate their salt glands, which are normally in-active. However, the glands are available if needed.
Ravens and crows are now gathering each evening into their fall roosts. Rather than stay in a breeding territory all barriers are gone and the birds range over a wide area in search of food.
Their noisy gatherings came be heard far and wide.
As is our request every year, we would like to know of any roosts you see.
The birds forage for food dur-
ing the day and about three o’clock in the afternoon begin the trip to their night roost.
This behaviour is very inter-esting to watch. By nightfall all
is quiet in the roost until early light.
Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, RR 5, Renfrew, Ontario K7V

Basement wondersat mill museum
MICHAEL BRADLEY
McDougall Mill Museum
As you may already know, McDougall Mill Mu-seum has three fl oors chalked full of artifacts. The basement in particular is a regular eye-spy of equipment and tools from all across Renfrew’s his-tory.
The water ram, for instance, is a small, circular, iron artefact about the size of a football that many may not notice. The water ram is actually a very useful device for pumping water. It is set at least three feet below the water and the fl ow of the water forces the intake valve to close, creating high pres-sure. This pressure forces water into the air cham-ber where it compresses the air and then forces the water down a delivery pipe and out into the storage tank. Our water ram is in good condition and is a must see in the basement.
Some other commonly overlooked artifacts from the basement are the handcar and velocipede.
The handcar, which you may recognize from old Roadrunner and Wiley Coyote cartoons, is used for moving on railway lines. It is powered by a large handle in the middle of the cart which is pumped by a person on either side to keep the car moving.
The velocipede is really just a large bicycle adapt-ed for riding on rails, which requires the rider to push and pull a handle in front of them while push-ing with their feet as well to power the gears.
One display in the basement that steals a lot of attention is our dairy display.
Renfrew and area has a rich history in the dairy industry which attracts a lot of visitors to the mu-seum to learn more about it.
The display includes old photographs, milk jugs, cream separators, butter churners, milk cans and much more.
In the basement we have many industrial ati-facts, tools, and old mechanisms.
Whether it is the water ram, velocipede, or dairy display, something is guaranteed to catch your eye.

PROUD SHOWING
Bagpiper Liam Mel-ville, 17, of Renfrew was a proud medal-winning participant in Maxville’s recent Glengarry Highland Games. In the Grade 2 solo category July 30, he placed fi rst in the march and second in the strath-spey reel. The next day he was part of Arnprior-McNab Pipes and Drums’ fi fth-place entry. This photo shows him with the three medals he won at the 2009 Glengarry Highland Games. Of this year’s two med-als, he says: “Over-all, I was surprised with the results. I haven’t had as much time to be as prepared as I would have liked. So there were some nerves stemming from that.”

The Ontario 4-H Council’s board of di-rectors has voted in favour of lowering the starting age of 4-H members to nine years of age.
The change, from age 10, is based on a member’s age prior to Jan. 1 of the year the member joins. This policy amend-ment will become effective as of Jan. 1,
2011. Ontario 4-H Council president Shon-na Ward says “this policy change allows the council to address three goals with the fi rst being synergy with 4-H deliv-ery partners across Canada. Second, en-abling younger siblings of current mem-bers to join sooner, and third, supporting communities throughout Ontario with a
younger entry point to outstanding youth leadership development opportunities.”Concurrent with this announcement is the launch of an 18-month pilot project, Clover Buds. During this pilot, the staff of 4-H Ontario will be identifying and se-lecting six six- to eight-year-olds.
With existing programs located in oth-er provinces and the U.S. to mentor from, it is time for 4-H Ontario to launch and evaluate this alternate program option.
2015 will mark the 100th anniversary of 4-H in Ontario and the public is urged to come and explore. 4-H is look-ing for volunteers to run clubs in their own communities. Call 1-877-410-6748.4-H is an organization of leaders build-ing leaders. Nearly 6,000 youth ages 10-21 years, and a grassroots network of 1,800 trained, screened volunteers pledge their Head, Heart, Hands and Health as mem-bers of community-based clubs.

This will be one of my last tasks as I leave Kids Corp after enjoying 18 years of working with you and your children. I will be working in Ottawa where I have
been living for several months. I look for-ward to seeing you at our annual Mrs. Claus breakfast, which will be on Dec. 4 at the Renfrew Legion.
We have been fortunate to receive fund-ing from United Way Upper Ottawa to provide children with opportunities to prepare and try new foods. This activ-ity will be in addition to you bringing a small snack and beverage.
If you are a parent, grandparent or care-giver please join us for Play and Learn. An opportunity for adults and children to
participate in activities geared to devel-oping and enhancing early learning from birth to school age. Babies are welcome.
If you are a parent of a new infant or young child you may be interested in Baby Café where parents with infants are welcome to attend.

Last month my wife and I went on a one-day sightseeing bus tour of Prince Edward County. We love going on sightseeing ex-cursions. I came to realize that you get a lot more out of a tour when you know what the crops are growing in the fi elds.
Three people on the bus asked me the name of the crop with the little round leaves. They had no idea it was soybeans. Soybeans are a legume plant that produces a bean pod.
Everyone knows what a corn plant looks like. There’s noth-
ing similar to it. Even though oats, barley and wheat have been growing in Ontario for a few hundred years, most non-farmers can’t tell the difference. That’s my observation.
Most urban folks don’t know the name of the breed of cattle they see, or the name of the trees they drive by year after year.
That’s why I get more out of outings and bus tours than ur-ban folks do. I see what’s grow-ing and what is changing in the countryside.
When we toured Prince Ed-ward County during haying sea-son, I did not see any automatic or manual stookers behind square balers. They are relics of the past like the mowers and steel-wheel hayloaders.
Speaking of bus tours, the company we went with to the IPM at Earlton (northern Ont.) last September, sent us an invi-
tation to join them to this year’s plowing match at St. Thomas, Ont. on September 22-24. Going by bus is the way to go. Every-thing is organized for you.
We are booked for a three-day bus outing to St. Jacobs, Ont. in September. My wife is excited about that trip. She’s not a fan of plowing matches like I am.
Soon after we’re back we’re off to see California. We’ll be gone fi ve weeks at least. I have always wanted to see Califor-nia, especially the agricultural areas. It’s the number one ag-
ricultural state in the U.S., gen-erating well over $35 billion in sales per year, rivaling Canada in terms of revenue generated from agriculture. California is also the number one dairy state in the U.S. We’ll visit the Napa Valley to see where the famous wines are made.
We’re fl ying to B.C. to see fam-ily and friends, then driving along the coast through Wash-ington, Oregon and California. Then on to Arizona and up to Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana and back to B.C.
Touring so much more meaningful when you know the crops and cattleMAYNARD VAN DER GALIEN

CD release party for Sing Me Back Home Aug. 25 in OttawaSing Me Back Home is Lorne Keogh’s
new classic country compact disc.Son of Ronald and Rose Keogh of Al-
lumette Island, he was born and raised in the Ottawa Valley, and is a long-time resi-dent of Ottawa South whose lifetime love of classic country music is brought to the new album.
An Ontario country music performer in clubs and bars in the 1960s, his guitar
followed him everywhere, including a stint in the Army in Europe, and travels to all corners of Canada. All of which makes the realization of Sing Me Back Home a long time coming, he says. Keogh is joined by a band of musicians from the Canadian music scene who include Sam Masterton (pedal steel), Mike Michakow (drums) and, perhaps most signifi cantly, his two sons, Dave and Duane, who are
from EMI/Maximum Recording artists The Town Pants. “There’s a rustic sun-down appeal and easy demeanor that Lorne Keogh captures on Sing Me Back Home — perhaps a testament to his past as a performer in the forgotten Cana-dian honky-tonks of the 60s,” says Aar-on Chapman of the Vancouver Courier newspaper.
The CD release party takes place Aug.
25, at Lone Star Café on 1211 Lemieux St., next to Ottawa’s Chimo Inn.
Keogh and his band will perform songs from Sing Me Back Home. CDS will be available for purchase. They can also be ordered online at CD Baby or by contact-ing Doreen Keogh at 613-738-1811 or [email protected].
Net proceeds of CD sales will go to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

The Calabogie Lions are show-ing their appreciation for the strong public support given to their many projects by holding a free community barbecue Sun-day, Aug. 22.
The event, complete with en-tertainment, will run from 1 to 7 p.m. at Barnet Park. All Greater Madawaska township residents are invited.
“It will be a real family event,” said Lions president John Bon-nar. “And it’s going to be a free day.”
“We want to thank you all for being such a great community,” said Lion John Buscomb.
He said the public has helped the club in many ways from do-nating to fundraisers and attend-ing its bingos to putting fl oats in the Santa parade.
There will be chicken, ham-burgers and hot dogs on the bar-becue. Entertainers will include Mac McCallum and Friends, Ju-lie Larocque, step dancers, and gospel singers.
A number of Calabogie area artists will display their works. There will be several activities for children, including a jump-ing pad, slide, scavenger hunt, games, face-painting and treats.
“Come on down and bring you lawn chair,” said Buscomb. “Ev-erything is free (other than the cash bar).”

They say that time will heal the painBut we know this isn’t so,We miss you as much nowAs when you left four years ago.
We know that you are jumping with joyWith the upcoming birth of a special baby boy.We’re sure the angels in heaven already know the dayAnd you will partake in your own unique way.
Looking forward to the “orb” in the maternity room and the Godci-dence!Love and miss you, Rose, M.J., Mandy, Christopher and the Enright family

Love always,Elwood, Kim, Sherry-Lynn and Ian

Jeffrey Roland DraperApril 23, 1982 – July 26, 2010
We appreciate the overwhelming support, sympathy and strength we have received from family, friends and acquaintances which have helped us begin to cope with the tragic death of our Jeffrey. We thank everyone for prayers, visitation, donations, phone calls, fl owers, cards, food and kind deeds.
The doctors and nurses of the Ottawa Civic Hospital ICU were outstanding. The tender compassion of Jen, the representative of the Trillium Foundation was much appreciated. Renee Stewart’s provision of Gift of Life ribbons and pins was a comfort.
We especially thank Rev. Jim Stevenson who was with us Sunday morning in the ICU. We appreciate Rev. Canon Roger Young of Emmanuel Anglican Church, Arnprior for his visits, phone calls and beautiful church service. Thank you Rev. Mavis Brownlee of St. Paul’s Shawville , for her phone call, prayers and attendance at the funeral service.
To Eldon Smith and staff of Boyce Funeral Home, your professional calm attention to all details was exceptional. We thank pall bearers Ian Lawson, Allan Wilson, and Jeff’s cousins, Brent Draper, Matthew Schock, Chad Lucas and Luke Young.
The ACW and members of Emmanuel Anglican Church were outstanding in their support and generous much appreciated luncheon after the service.
Thank you to all who came to the cemetery in Shawville and to Haleigh’s aunt, Sue Moffat and Ryan Bayford for their music and songs.
The evening of caring and sharing at the Arnprior Golf Club, in celebration of Jeffrey was something we will remember forever. The fi reworks were a beautiful tribute with special thanks to Chris Nych, Patrick Nicholson and Allan Murray. Once again, Greig Burnie was super in catering to the Drapers!
We were pleased to greet so many of Jeff’s friends, many of whom travelled long distances. There were school mates, team mates, U. of Guelph friends, co-workers from Aqua Terre Solutions and SNC Lavalin, and the members of KAK. Many were with us in strength from the beginning. This generation that grew up with the slogan “Just do it!” don’t waste time pondering “Should we or shouldn’t we?” They are remarkable men and women!
Ian Lawson and Michelle Martineau opened their home and welcomed all of Jeffrey’s friends. We thank you for your exceptional kindness and generosity.
The past few days we have repeatedly heard “There are no words. I am so sorry!” We now respond “Words are so inadequate. We are so grateful!” The many kindnesses will always be remembered. May God bless you all!
Sincerely, Eric & Marion DraperDavid and Dawn DraperHaleigh McClenaghan & Family
On July 19, 2010 our family home in Burnstown was destroyed by fi re.With grateful hearts, we would like to thank the village and everyone else who has encouraged and supported us through this diffi cult time.Thank you to Crystal and Blair for calling 911 and looking after me until the Paramedics came.Thank you to Rob Dodge and his fi refi ghters from Glasgow, Braeside and White Lake. They were so kind and calm. To Dave Herbert who had a truck running 4 minutes after the call – making it possible to salvage some family photos.Thank you to the Paramedics and the Renfrew Hospital for their excellent care.A special thank you to Stephen who organized a fundraising BBQ for us and to Cari and George for hosting it at their home.The clothing, cards and donations were overwhelming, but such a comfort when our life had just been turned upside down. We would also like to thank the Arnprior Lion’s Club and the Renfrew Salvation Army for their generous donations.Thank you to Karen Barsoski for answering every single question my 5 year old had during our Fire Debriefi ng meeting!Special thanks to my family who have shown love and extra grace to a daughter and grandson.
May God bless you all!

POLICE
54 false 9-1-1 calls in a weekThe Renfrew detachment of the On-
tario Provincial Police responded to 231 calls for service during the past week.
Of those, 54 were false or accidental 9-1-1 calls. Many times there appears to be a problem with the phone line, and if this is the case residents are urged to contact Bell Canada to repair the problem.
Parents are also urged to place phones out of reach of young children to avoid having their children play with the phone. The police are obligated to attend any residence where a 9-1-1 call originates to ensure public safety.
Please take care when dialing, to avoid an accidental 9-1-1 call.
