Lively time at Cobden

Fair

Peterborough area’s Doug Leahy and Fam-ily wowed the crowd Saturday afternoon at the Cobden Fair. Fid-dling, dancing and singing with his wife Jenni-fer and their six children, at one point all kids were stepdanc-ing at the same time. It was as deafening as the gunfi ght at the O.K. Corral. For more photos of the fair, see pages 5 and 13.

High-speed Internet the area’s new realitySteve [email protected]

News - Thanks to investments of $55 million or more by the federal and provincial governments and the business sector, Eastern Ontario is quickly becoming more connected to the rest of the world.

The digital-communications world, that is, as offi cials gathered Aug. 22 at Bonnechere Manor in Renfrew to announce the anticipated conclusion to the Ottawa Valley North portion of the $170-million Eastern Ontario Re-gional Network (EORN) broadband program.

The Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus also contributed $10 million of municipal money to the project.

In 2010 construction began on EORN with the building of 160 ac-cess points and other infrastructure for fi bre-optics cable.

At the time, only 250,000 residents in Eastern Ontario had dial-up Inter-net services. By the end of this year, 550,000 residents will have much faster Internet service.

Of those residents and businesses, 31,000 are located in what’s known as Ottawa Valley North. The zone spans

more than 4,000 square kilometres in an area that includes the communities of Deep River, Petawawa, Pembroke, Renfrew and Arnprior.

In all of Renfrew County, nearly 22,000 households will have Internet speeds of at least 10 Mbps, another 12,825 will have speeds of 6-10 Mbps and 4,935 will have similar speeds through enhanced satellite packages.

For years, businesses and individ-uals have clamoured for higher-speed service. Among them is Wilderness Tours owner Joe Kowalski, who says the service will dramatically im-prove online business capacities for his whitewater rafting and kayaking company.

Among the advantages of EORN will be Wilderness Tours’ ability to do live streaming of the week-long 2015 freestyle kayak world champi-onships it is hosting.

Following a history of unreliable Internet service, Wilderness Tours will now be able to invest heavily in an online reservation systems.

“I’m such a believer in this proj-ect,” said Kowalski.

“This is a game-changer for rural Ontario.”

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant is among guest speakers at Bonnechere Manor for last Friday’s announcement about the fi nal stages of the Eastern Ontario Regional Network’s $170-mil-lion project. High-speed Internet is being brought to 31,000 Renfrew County homes and businesses in the immediate zone. The federal government’s con-tribution was $55 million to the larger project that extends across eastern Ontario.

STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND

Continued from frontEORN will have completed

fi bre-optic Internet connections to seven business parks or clus-ters by late December.

Bell Aliant is building im-proved access to the Renfrew and Petawawa business parks, a Hwy 41/Hwy 17 cluster in Laurentian Valley, Barry’s Bay Business Park and Pine Grove Business Park in McNab-Brae-side. And Cogeco TV is im-proving access for Whitewater Region business areas in the Grant Settlement and Green-wood roads area.

The reach and speed of ex-

isting DSL services have been expanded to provide download speeds of up to 15 Mbps through a fi bre-optics cable network and new or improved access points made possible through the East-ern Ontario Regional Network project. In areas that cannot connect with the wired service, a satellite solution provides connectivity to speeds of up to 10 Mbps.

The entire project is helping to improve high-speed Internet throughout almost 50,000 square kilometres of Eastern Ontario, a region encompassing the coun-ties of Hastings, Peterborough, Renfrew, Northumberland, Haliburton, Frontenac, Lanark, Prince Edward, Lennox and

Addington, the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glen-garry, the United Counties of Prescott and Russell, the United Counties of Leeds and Gren-ville, and the City of Kawartha Lakes.

Other speakers on hand for the Aug. 22 announcement were local MPP John Yakabuski; Ottawa-Orleans MPP Marie-France Lalonde, who is parlia-mentary assistant to the minis-ter for economic development, employment and infrastructure; Luke Barber, implementation manager for Bell Aliant; and Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon.

“High-speed Internet is ab-solutely critical to developing

a better economy and building stronger communities,” said Emon.

He went on to say that broad-band not only promotes better business, health care, educa-tion and social services, but fa-cilitates connections to research and expertise across the prov-ince and the globe.

“It’s been a four-year build, but we cover an area that’s larger than 100 countries,” said EORN co-lead Jim Pine, who’s also the Hastings County chief administrative offi cer.

The next project for EORN involves an analysis to deter-mine how gaps in cellular-phone coverage in the region can be eliminated.

McKay joins Greater Madawaska race for mayorSteve [email protected]

News – There’s now an of-fi cial race for mayor in Greater Madawaska Township.

Ward 1 Councillor Glenda McKay fi led her nomination papers Aug. 15, as she joined the mayoral contest, whose only

previous candidate was former Coun. John Pratt.

Meanwhile, ward 1, which is represented by two councillors, has only two candidates – for-mer council members Don Mer-cer and J.R. Easton.

Mayor Peter Emon has al-ready announced he is not seek-ing re-election, an announce-

ment followed by his joining of the race for reeve in the Town of Renfrew.

If elected there, he would continue to occupy a position on county council, where he is in his second term as warden and hoping to occupy a third such term.

Greater Madawaska council

features one councillor each for wards 2 and 3, but as of Mon-day, Aug. 15, no candidates had fi led in ward 2.

The incumbent is Bruno Ki-erczak who is not running in October’s municipal election.

In ward 3, the candidates to date are Mark Tomlin and Glen MacPherson.

New challenge for Horton mayor: now part of Renfrew’s mayoral race Don Eady, the

mayor of Horton Township, is now competing for the job of mayor of Renfrew.

STEVE NEWMAN/

METROLAND

Steve [email protected]

News - Don Eady didn’t know if he would overcome recent medical and physical challenges.

His fi rst steps after having his can-cerous right lung removed Jan. 13, 2013 were as diffi cult as any he has ever taken. He also didn’t know if he’d beat his battle with cancer.

But apparently he has, and he’s looking forward to a 15th year in municipal politics, just not on Horton council.

A former long-time owner of a Renfrew business, Draperies Plus, the mayor of Horton now wants to be mayor in Renfrew, where he is mov-ing to shortly.

He’s one of four mayoral can-didates, along with Callum Scott, Coun. Tom Anderson and Coun. Jim Miller.

Having lost 50 pounds since the surgery, Eady is now golfi ng and exercising regularly, and feeling the best he has in decades.

“At this stage of my life, I thought I would enjoy a change,” said Eady, 68, who grew up in Horton and at-tended Renfrew Collegiate Institute.

He then worked for various Ren-frew County businesses in fi nances or product management, before own-ing his own business for 25 years.

14 YEARS ON COUNCIL

“My 14 years in Horton (politics) have been very fruitful. I have noth-ing but total respect for the people of the Township of Horton, but I also feel the Town of Renfrew has been a huge part of my life.”

Eady sees Renfrew’s potential to grow into something more substan-tial, with the help of shared services

and grants for Renfrew and surround-ing municipalities.

“I don’t want to be negative, but Renfrew has the highest taxes in Renfrew County,” said Eady.

“I believe we have to look at all aspects of the town and hopefully fi nd effi ciencies to get things done, including improving the roads.”

If elected, he says he’d keep coun-cillors on committees for the full term to enhance their learning curve and familiarity with committee mat-ters.

Also, he says he has heard too many negatives about Renfrew when there are huge positives, like physician re-cruitment and a fantastic downtown core that can be even better.

Politics has enriched his life, but Eady says his family has too, espe-cially his six grandchildren because of their sense of humour and hon-esty.

Sidney 11th candidate for Renfrew councillorSteve [email protected]

News - Tom Sidney is the 11th candidate to join the race for council-lor in Renfrew’s October municipal election.

The heavy turnout, says Sidney, strongly suggests the public is dis-satisfi ed with the present council’s performance.

Sidney says the high interest says, “People are getting tired of the old ways. Not a lot is changing, and there needs to be some new vision, new blood and different experiences from different areas.”

Sidney, 40, says he has no offi cial political experience, but you have to start somewhere.

“I want the opportunity to get more experience,” says Sidney, who is di-rector of the Renfrew County Suicide and Crisis Prevention Centre.

He also says council needs help

improving its level of transparency and that he’s interested in facilitating that process.

He says he’s also proud of his community, but that he wants to see it make progressive steps as it gains prominence as both a gateway to cot-tage country and a retirement desti-nation.

Sidney was scheduled to fi le his nomination papers yesterday (Aug. 27).

Renfrew council consists of a mayor, reeve and fi ve councillors, of which only one is seeking re-election as councillor.

That is Clint McWhirter, while councillors Tom Anderson and Jim Miller are after the mayor’s job and Mayor Bill Ringrose is seeking a berth as councillor.

SEVERAL CANDIDATES

To date, the other candidates for

councillor are Robert Debeau, Ze-naida Raboy, Gregory Lewis, Arlene Jamieson, Jeff Taylor, Donna Falcon, Doug Brookes and Kate Windle.

Windle was a candidate for reeve, but the two-time councillor altered course after Peter Emon fi led his nomination papers for reeve. The other candidate for reeve is veteran incumbent Audrey Green.

FIRST COUNCILLOR FILINGS IN HORTON

In contrast, at the start of this week, only two candidates (Lane Cleroux and Bob Johnston) had joined the councillors’ race in Horton.

Present councillors Bob Kingsbury and Margaret Whyte are running for mayor. Coun. Jamey Larone is not running again, while colleague Glen Campbell has yet to announce his in-tentions. Horton council consists of a mayor and four councillors.

Surgery for Admaston-Bromley mayor, then election decision Steve [email protected]

News – Entering the hospital isn’t a new thing for Raye-Anne Briscoe, who has won her battle with breast cancer and had hip and knee replace-ments.

But she’s hoping the most recent surgery, scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 26, will leave her more mobile and energetic.

The veteran Admaston-Bromley mayor, who limped slowly into the council chambers for last Thursday’s council meeting, says she’ll make a

decision on whether to join the may-oral race shortly after the surgery.

Mayoral candidates to date are present councillor Michael Donohue and past councillor Jack Kelly, who lost the mayoral race to Briscoe four years ago.

In 2011 Briscoe had her right

knee replaced. In August 2013 she had a left hip replacement.

“Unfortunately, while doing phys-iotherapy in the hospital,” she says of the hip surgery, “a large bone in my leg broke, and I spent seven weeks in the hospital.

“Since then, I have done all the

physio that I could possibly do, built up the muscles, but now that particu-lar knee couldn’t stand what it went through, so now I need a (new) left knee.”

She’s expected to be in the Ottawa Hospital for three days, and back to council business within two weeks.

Council remains critical of OPP funding formulaSteve [email protected]

News – Based on what they’ve heard so far, most rural municipalities aren’t expecting any favours when the new and fi nalized OPP funding formula is released in January 2015.

Admaston-Bromley Township, for example, could see its annual polic-ing bill nearly double to $400,000. But that hasn’t stopped Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe and her councillors from criticizing the provincial think-ing behind the much-anticipated new formula.

Admaston-Bromley council mem-bers didn’t attend the recent Associa-tion of Municipalities of Ontario con-ference in London, but information updates provided afterwards don’t give the local council members much reason to smile.

The local council sees the antici-pated formula as an unbalanced ap-proach that appears headed toward having rural municipalities with very little crime still shouldering a sub-stantial part of base service costs.

“I’m tired of being negative … but we’ll see how it plays out,” said May-or Briscoe at the Aug. 21 meeting of Admaston-Bromley council.

In contrast, an Ontario govern-ment news release Aug. 14, just prior to the Aug. 17-18 AMO conference, announced that OPP was “introduc-ing a fairer, more transparent billing model” for Ontario municipalities.

The new model, which takes ef-fect Jan. 1, features two major com-ponents: base policing costs such as crime prevention, proactive policing, offi cer training and administrative duties that will account for about 60 per cent of the bill; and reactive calls,

which will account for about 40 per cent.

Whether rural municipalities have high or low crime rates (and Admas-ton-Bromley has very little crime), Briscoe says they’re going to end up subsidizing policing costs for urban municipalities.

The new model will be phased in over fi ve years, said the government announcement, to allow municipali-ties to adjust their budgets.

It will be a major adjustment for many rural municipalities. Halibur-ton County will, for example, see its annual policing jump from $3.3 mil-lion to $6.5 million after fi ve years, says Haliburton County Warden Dave Burton.

The current billing model has not been updated for 17 years.

“I hope, when I hear the full re-ports, that some people on the fl oor (at the AMO conference) said that the basis of this (new) formula is wrong-headed,” said Briscoe.

“Sixty per cent (for base costs) for everyone across the province is not customizing a service to the needs of the community it is expected to serve.”

Admaston-Bromley has an almost zero crime rate, says Briscoe.

“You tell me that we require the same basic service and same costs per property as a community with a much higher crime rate, and you tell me that’s fair, we’ll have to have a long, hard discussion about that.”

Recent estimates suggest other lo-cal rural municipalities will also face large jumps in their police budget, while more urban communities, such as Renfrew, will likely see their po-lice costs drop.

In second place is Shannon Russell, with honourable mention going to Kelsey Edwards. Judge Willy Huybregts said the top cattle seemed to enjoy themselves, casually chewing their cud, and their handlers were relaxed and quick to set up.

It’s all about family at the Cobden fair. Colin and Chloe Harbert share a memory on the Scrambler during Saturday fun.

Community - In 4-H, there is so much to experience, so much to learn, and so much to do.

The leaders of the Renfrew County 4-H club strive to cre-ate new, confi dence-boost-ing learning experiences for the youth in rural Renfrew County.

Learning experiences where everyone is on equal footing and all participants can have fun mastering something new together are the best and, with that criteria in mind, the Renfrew Coun-ty 4-H club said: “Let’s try something different – let’s try lawn bowling.”

And that is how, on the evening of Friday, Aug. 8, 12 youth ages 6 to 16 and a handful of parents, along with 4-H leader Agatha Cro-gie, visited Galetta Bowls to

learn how to lawn bowl and have some fun.

All participants caught on quickly to the skills of bowls and it didn’t take long be-fore their competitive spirits surfaced and teams had fun trying to out-bowl their 4-H club-mates.

One 4-H youth summed up his experience of trying lawn bowls with, “Lawn bowls is fun, it’s competitive and en-joyable.” That says it all.

Galetta Bowls welcomes youth to come out and give bowls a try. For competitive youth there are opportuni-ties to compete at the district, provincial and national levels and for youth who prefer the sheer joy of social bowling there’s lots of opportunity at Galetta Bowls to have fun lawn bowling.

To arrange a time to come out and try lawn bowls, call 613-622-1586 or 613-623-2852.

OPINIONOPINION Connected to your community

To the editor:Opinion - I am writing in response to an

opinion expressed in the August 21st Mercury. The writer was condemning the supply man-agement system that both producers and con-sumers are fortunate enough to have here in Canada. He referred to the dairy industry as a “racket” fi lled with “elites” that “bought off all national parties” with “propaganda spending”. Those are alarmist words meant to infl ame tempers and incite fear. Just who is the snake oil salesman, I ask?

To clarify, supply management is not just a racket for the dairy industry. It also manages production of broiler chickens, eggs, and tur-key. This system is based on a cost of produc-tion formula that is re-fi gured annually, and has farmers producing what the market requires, thereby stabilizing price for both consumers

and producers. (It should be noted that farm animals do not have “off” buttons that can be fl ipped when the supply outweighs the de-mand. The animals will produce whether there is a market for them or not. We cannot stock-pile fl uid milk, or poultry, for that matter while waiting for the next market upswing.)

The author touts tariff amounts on foreign dairy products at two to 30 per cent, then ex-plains them as hidden taxes that insulate our producers against cheaper and more cost-ef-fective competition. (If I am not mistaken, the Canadian government imposes tariffs on a mul-titude of imports, all with the idea of protecting Canadian industry.)

The competition, often from dairy producers in the USA, are heavily subsidized by the gov-ernment. Government subsidies, interestingly enough, come from taxes that citizens pay, re-

gardless of what they eat or drink. These subsi-dies are handed out because their un-regulated system creates a fi nancial burden on producers due to unpredictable prices, and often they are often producing at or below their cost. With-out these subsidies, many farmers are forced to close their gates. The Australian dairy industry did indeed phase out their supply management system, and farmers noted that their price per litre went from 57 cents to 42 cents almost overnight.

As of 2013, Aussie dairies are producing milk at approximately 43 cents per litre, then selling it for approximately 25-26 cents per litre. Dairy exports did increase for Austra-lia after de-regulation, but overall production has slowed, and farm numbers have decreased from approximately 12,000 ten years ago to just 6,700 in 2012.

Quota was mentioned, and regarded with a sneer. It was seen as a boon to the wealthy, and a block to the poor of farming. According to the letter, farmers of “humble” backgrounds are unable to purchase quota to expand, and anyone wishing to buy into the system from “outside” are unable to do so. Again, I must clarify: Each farmer is required to hold quota to produce. In the instance of dairy, the cost of quota has been capped in Ontario at $25,000 per kilogram since 2008, not the $30+ thou-sand that was mentioned.

Also, producers are able to bid on quota monthly, based on a percentage of their hold-ings. Typically, there’s limited quota available on this exchange, and in many instances the more “humble” farms that bid, receive a larger percentage than the “wealthy” farms that bid.

Stop for the school busesParents across the city are breathing a col-

lective sigh of relief, as the fi nal days tick off the calendar announcing the start of the school year.

Starting on Tuesday, Sept. 2, tens of thou-sands of children will fl ood Ottawa Valley streets, returning to school on foot or by car or bus.

Motorists will begin seeing a lot of yellow starting next week. Most schools welcome stu-dents back the day after Labour Day, Sept. 1, but the French public and Catholic boards open a week earlier.

The colour yellow in motorist’s language al-ways translates to one word: caution.

Motorists must keep their eyes open for chil-dren waiting on street corners.

Kids will be kids, which usually means they are in constant motion.

We must always remember the fi rst rule of defensive driving: expect the unexpected.

Children tend to offer a lot of unexpected behaviour, which occasionally involves a mad dash across the street chasing a ball or friend waiting at a bus stop.

Motorists would do well to drive a little more slowly the fi rst few weeks of September.

They might also want to reacquaint them-selves with the rules of driving when approach-ing a stopped school bus with its lights fl ash-ing.

The fl ashing lights mean cars must come to a halt to allow children to board the bus.

It also allows children and parents to safely cross the street.

By law, traffi c in both directions must stop anytime a school bus is stopped with its over-head alternating signal lights fl ashing.

If the danger of hitting a child with your ve-hicle isn’t reason enough, failing to stop for a school bus can result in fi nes up to $2,000 upon conviction and six demerit points given to a motorist’s driver’s license. And that’s only for a fi rst conviction.

Each subsequent offence can result in fi nes as high as $4,000 together with six demerit points and possible imprisonment for up to six months.

Staying alert while behind the wheel and being aware of the rules of the road governing school buses is everyone’s responsibility.

We’re all winners if we educate ourselves about the rules of the road and school bus safe-ty.

AND PWC AND PWC WINTERIZING!WINTERIZING!

Continued from page 8As for people inter-

ested in buying into this “racket” being blocked, that is also another fal-lacy.

The Dairy Farmers of Ontario have a New Entrant Quota Assis-tance Program that was brought about to encour-age new producers and welcome them into the industry.

Up to 10 applicants can start up per year, and DFO assigns up to 12 kilograms of quota per applicant. Of course, as with any startup, a sound business plan is required, and the initial purchase of land, cattle, equip-

ment and feed must be in the works, or completed. This has to be approved by a bank, which we all know, enjoys making money. So quite often, quota is an asset that guarantees farms will make money to pay the bills. Banks look favour-ably on bills being paid. So do business owners.

The letter also claimed that supply management spews propaganda about protecting the consumer from unwanted hor-mones found in foreign product.

That’s not propagan-da. That’s fact.

Canadian consum-ers have made it crystal clear that they want safe, affordable, quality prod-uct. Our government

laws prevent us from us-ing unnatural hormones or steroids in livestock production, whether it is covered by supply man-agement or not.

Canadian agriculture standards are high when it comes to animal wel-fare, and higher when it comes to human wel-fare.

‘RIGOROUS TESTING’

We have rigorous test-ing in place to assure no harmful antibiotic resi-dues or hormones are on store shelves.

We have codes of practice, and quality assurance measures in place to be certain noth-ing but the best and saf-est product we can pro-

duce is being sold to our fellow Canadians.

We have no such guar-antee from foreign prod-ucts.

So supply manage-ment brings their price in line with ours, by means of tariffs, and the consumer gets to decide whether they want to support Canadian indus-try and purchase safe, quality products at an affordable price, or pur-chase foreign product.

Sort of like the whole “buy local” movement that has wonderfully fl owed across the prov-ince.

I am not an economist, and I freely admit that math is not my strong suit. Either is politics. But I do know that when

something isn’t broken, or still serves a purpose, you don’t throw it out. Supply management is not a perfect system. Even those that produce within it’s hallowed boundaries often feel that there is room for change, expansion.

But to completely scrap a working system that benefi ts both pro-ducers and consumers in favour of unstable, rock-bottom wholesale prices that put producers out of business or send them begging for government handouts sure doesn’t sound like sound eco-nomics or mathematics to me.

News – City and town resi-dents will be happy; rural resi-dents not so much.

That’s the upshot of a new model for Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) costing announced last week to take effect Jan. 1, 2015.

The provincial government is touting the new model as fairer, more transparent and easier to understand. However, rural poli-ticians and residents understand one main thing. Their costs for policing are going to rise, and in some cases substantially.

Hardest hit in the new for-mula are rural townships with large numbers of cottages, as the new billing will be based on households, both permanent and seasonal.

About two-thirds of the 324 Ontario municipalities serviced by the OPP will see their costs rise.

The blow has been cushioned somewhat as the government has decided to phase in the new model for up to fi ve years “to allow municipalities time to ad-just their budgets.”

Politicians in towns such as Arnprior argue that their resi-dents have been paying an un-

fairly disproportionate portion of OPP costing for at least 17 years, so the new model is long overdue.

Arnprior Mayor David Reid has been among those on the forefront of pushing for a “fair-er” billing model for municipal-ities the OPP serves across the province.

“I think what the province is doing is right, is heading in the right direction,” Reid said Tues-day in phone interview from the Association of Ontario Munici-palities conference.

“The only disappointment is the fi ve-year phase in. That’s the tough pill to swallow.” He said the changes will save the town hundreds of thousands of dol-lars annually, but he won’t have exact numbers until September.

In a news release, the provin-cial government says the new model refl ects lobbying from the Auditor General and mu-nicipalities to more fairly and transparently distribute policing costs.

It explains the model includes two components: base policing costs such as crime prevention, proactive policing, offi cer train-ing and administrative duties, and cost for reactive calls for service. Base policing will ac-

count for about 60 per cent of the bill; reactive calls will ac-count for about 40 per cent.

“This eliminates the large dif-ferences in the amounts munici-palities were charged and pro-vides municipalities with better data so they can understand the types of calls for police service in their community and direct crime prevention strategies,” says the government release.

While the new model doesn’t directly tackle rapidly rising police costs fueled by a major salary boost for offi cers, the government points out that the average per property cost for OPP services in 2015 is estimat-ed to be $355, compared to an average of $787 estimated for self-policed municipalities (the estimated costing of policing in Ottawa is $700 a household).

“The new billing model is a positive step toward achieving greater equity and transparency in OPP municipal policing cost-recovery,” said OPP Commis-sioner Vince Hawkes.

“It will address concerns brought forward by the Auditor General of Ontario and many of our municipalities. We are mov-ing in the right direction with this model.”

Meanwhile, the Progres-

sive Conservative Opposition is complaining the government announcement leaves out cru-cial details on how much the new model will actually cost municipalities and which of the four cost-splitting options the province has chosen from alternatives developed by the Association of Municipalities of Ontario.

The PCs note an auditor-general’s report in 2012 pointed out that OPP spending had risen 27 per cent over fi ve years, even though crime and car crashes in OPP-patrolled territory had fallen and calls has remained steady.

The current OPP billing model was introduced in 1998 and has not been updated in 17 years.

McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell could not be reached for comment this week.

However, during discussion of policing costs at the July 15 township council meeting she noted that Deep River council had suggested Renfrew county municipalities look into the via-bility of a regional police force.

She said County council was supportive of looking into the matter but there is a question over whether it should take a

Reaction mixed to new Ontario Provincial Police costing formulaleading role. No matter what, there will be an ur-ban-rural divide on the is-sue, she noted.

Coun. Brad McIlquham said that 14 of the 19 area municipalities are in the same boat as McNab-Brae-side in that they will be paying more under the new formula, while the other

fi ve will tend to support it as they will save money. “It leaves the rest of us to pick up the slack.”

Campbell said so far the more urban areas have been dominating the issue with their lobbying of the prov-ince for changes. “I would hope we’d have a rural dis-cussion too,” she said.

News - With 26 motorcycle fa-talities on record so far this year and at least two more months of the motorcycle season re-maining, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is concerned that 2014 motorcycle deaths could reach a seven-year high.

Twenty-fi ve motorcyclists and one passenger have died in motorcycle crashes within

OPP jurisdiction as of Aug. 18 this year. The high number has prompted the OPP to share some facts and dispel some myths re-lating to the fatal motorcycle collisions it investigates in an effort to raise awareness about motorcycle safety.

Earlier this month, OPP Air-craft Enforcement Patrol (AEP) clocked a motorcyclist travel-

ling at 210 km/hr, and charged him under Ontario’s stunt driv-ing law. The AEP airplane conducts patrol throughout the province and is highly effec-tive at spotting motorcycles and other vehicles travelling at high rates of speed.

“Other than a careless few that we come across during our enforcement operations, the

OPP believes that Ontario mo-torcyclists in general recognize that they are a vulnerable road user and demonstrate safe, de-fensive driving. We are relying on motorcyclists and the motor-ing public to work with us and join in our efforts to keep mo-torcycling safe.

Ema Lee Fashions:11 years and counting

It was a hot June night in 2002 and everything was quiet in the small hamlet of Balderson. No one knew that in one house, there was a deal going down!

Two men sat facing each other at the kitchen table in Mr. George Myers’ home.

The conversation was quick and right to the point. Would Mr. Myers sell his old general store or not? That was the question.

The sun was going down. The clocks on his wall ticked to their own tock.

The silence had been broken. Finally a deal had been made on the back of a cigarette pack.

The transformation began on the old general store and eleven years later Ema Lee Fashions is still a thriving, successful business. It is located seven kilometers north of Perth on Hwy 511 and open seven days a week.

Gerry McSweeney and Emily Desjardine had no idea that the business would become such a huge success. “We are known all over for being the largest ladies clothing store in the Ottawa Valley and for being a destination shopping spot” Desjardine said.

“The store is also known for it’s plethora of ladies apparel, swim suits, purses and men’s shirts”.

Adjoining Ema Lee Fashions in the“Downtown Balderson Complex” you willfind Balderson Fine Foods, well known forits homemade ice-cream and the Anne andVanessa’s Bakery.

Since their last anniversary Emily and Gerryare very happy to announce and welcomethe new proprietor and trained Chef Adam Porter of the Balderson Café. Adam’s theory: “Our philosophy is simple freshness is our commitment”. The Café is open from 10:00amto 5:00pm and the response from all of thecustomers has been extremely complimentaryand positive.

Emily and Gerry highly recommend thatyou drop in for lunch and don’t forget totry his homemade desserts…you won’t bedisappointed!

drive within the law”, said OPP Dep-uty Commissioner Brad Blair, Provin-cial Commander, Traffi c Safety and Operational Support.

The following data refl ect motorcy-cle fatalities within OPP jurisdiction.

Myth: Young, inexperienced mo-torcyclists are the most vulnerable, at-risk riders and account for the largest number of victims who die in motor-cycle crashes in Ontario.

Fact: From 2008 to 2014 (as of Aug. 18), only 16 of the 175 motorcyclists who have died on Ontario roads were under the age of 25. The age group with the highest rate of fatality is the 45-54 year group, which comprises 48 of the 175 victims. The second high-est age group is the 55-64 year group, with 39 victims in that category. Com-bined, these two age groups account for almost half of the fatalities (87)

Myth: Those who die in motorcycle crashes are doing something wrong at the time of the incident. Like other drivers, motorcyclists can avoid crash-es if they drive properly and within the law.

Fact: Between 2008 and 2014, for 50 of the 175 motorcycle victims, the driver of the motorcycle was driving properly at the time. Far too often, the actions of another driver are a causal factor in motorcycle crashes. Motorcy-cles are much harder to see than other vehicles. As a rider, it is important to wear high visibility equipment and put yourself in the proper lane positioning to increase your chances of being seen by other motorists. As a motorist shar-ing the road with motorcyclists, you need to maintain a keen awareness of your surroundings and always be on watch for motorcycles, especially in blind spots before changing lanes.

Myth: Motorcyclists are at far greater risk of crashing when riding on wet roads.

Fact: While true that riding on wet roads places an additional risk on rid-ers, 158 of the 175 motorcyclists who have died between 2008 and Aug. 18 were riding on dry roads.

Other facts relating to the 175 OPP-investigated motorcycle fatalities from 2008 to 2014 (as of Aug. 18):

• 168 of the victims were the driver, seven were passengers.

• 156 of the victims were men, 19 were women.

Top contributing factors (on the part of the motorcyclist and/or other driver(s) involved in the collision):

• Speed: Factor in 43 of the deaths.

• Lost Control: Factor in 29 of the deaths.

• Alcohol: Factor in 21 of the deaths.

• Fail to Yield: Factor in 20 of the deaths.

• Inattention: Factor in 18 of the deaths.

155th Cobden FairAbove photo: Year two of the Renfrew County Rabbit Club is working out well, according to Hammie’s handler, organizer Sherry White, right. Bonni is with Shavaun Donohue, and Wesley White is all thumbs up over the experience of caring for animals. Especially for kids who live off the farm, it gives them a chance to learn what it’s like, and fi gure out if they want to take on greater levels of responsibility when it comes to animals. Photo at left: There was a great deal of variety and things to see and do at the fair. Pot-ter Bernhard Zettler of Westmeath demonstrates some of the skills he uses for Big Bend Pottery.

Mary had many opportunities for character buildingLifestyle - Mother called it character build-

ing. My sister Audrey had another name for it, which she told me not to repeat in front of Mother.

Every time I asked for something as simple as new hair ribbons and Mother reminded me there was a Depression on, and no money for frivolities, she called it character building. When bad Marguirite did something nasty to me, Mother called it character building. When my brother Emerson did me some dastardly deed, Mother called it character building.

I fi gured I had enough character building in the 30s to last me into the next century!

And so it was when the old aunt who ap-peared unannounced at least twice a year, and Audrey and I had to give up our bed upstairs, and sleep on the narrow creton couch in the kitchen, foot to foot...Mother called it charac-ter building.

The summer was beastly hot that year. The upstairs was like an oven. Even with the win-dows wide open in the boy’s room and the hall, the little breeze did little to cool it off. And when Auntie arrived, she went right upstairs like she owned the place, and put her tapestry bag on the chair and laid claim to the bed Au-drey and I shared. We were doomed for the

creton couch in the kitchen.Apart from the narrowness of the couch,

sleeping in the kitchen was not a hardship in the summer, because the Findlay Oval had already been moved to the summer kitchen, quilts hung on the windows in the daytime to keep the sun out, and the kitchen became the coolest room in the house. It was the narrow couch that was the bane of our existence.

Out in the summer kitchen was an old wire couch. The kind where one part sat on top of the other when it wasn’t in use, but when pulled apart became a double bed. Moving the cook stove to the summer kitchen, left one wall bare, and Audrey asked Mother why the old wire couch couldn’t be moved into the regular

kitchen for Audrey and me. Mother hardly gave the idea a moment’s

consideration (she was busy cooking dande-lion greens, a favourite dish of Aunty’s), and said she saw no reason at all why the couch couldn’t be moved into the main kitchen. The boys could do that little chore when they came in for supper.

After Audrey and I had redded up the kitch-en, the three brothers dragged the wire couch into the coolest room in the house, and we hauled in the thin felt fold-over mattress. We didn’t even bother with sheets, so glad were we to have someplace to sleep other than the nar-row creton couch! And a cool place at that!

The walls of that old house were paper thin. And before we fell asleep, Audrey and I heard Aunty get up several times to use the chamber pot, walk across the fl oor to the window, and let out long and purposeful sighs.

She also had the habit of talking to her-self...almost whispers, but loud enough that we could hear her from our couch downstairs.

“Whew..hot...boy...whew,” we heard long into the night.

When Aunty came downstairs in the morn-ing, she didn’t look at all happy. The house had been cleared of Father and the boys, and Mother was bustling around the kitchen, al-ready thinking of the next meal for the table.

Aunty was in the same long black dress she came in. The only thing that was missing was the starched white collar and the bonnet. And she was fanning herself with a copy of the Ren-frew Mercury.

“Sure is hot upstairs,” she said. “Not a bit of air anywhere...hardly slept a wink.”

Mother, Audrey and me were in the sum-mer kitchen getting into the day’s work. Au-drey who was already clearing up the breakfast dishes, and setting out the dish pan of hot soapy water on the table, while Mother bustled about fi lling a soup bowl with porridge for Aunty, gave me a poke while passing me, “I’ll give you a nickel if you tell Aunty that’s what we call character building in this here house.”

Veteran bluesman Jimmie Vaughan was the headliner at the Calabogie Bluesfest/Ribfest on Saturday, Aug. 16. His performance was followed by fi reworks, which Vaughan is reported to have praised as the best he’s ever seen. The fi reworks went ahead despite the soggy conditions that limited walk-in crowds Saturday, but didn’t dampen the spirits of festival-goers who were at Calabogie Peaks for all three days.

Dawn Tyler Watson and Ben Racine drew rave reviews with their perfor-mance Sunday, Aug. 17.

The crowd at Calabogie Peaks didn’t take long to get into the spirit of the Cal-abogie Blues-fest/Ribfest, as John Wong and the 24th Street Wailers (photo far left) started things off with a rousing session Friday, Aug. 15. Classic Canadi-an rocker David Wilcox – ‘Layin’ Pipe’ and ‘River-boat Fantasy’ – rocks the crowd at the event.

Canadian rock and roll music icon Kim Mitchell performs at the Renfrew Fair Sept. 6.

Peter [email protected]

News - A Canadian icon of classic rock will be performing at the Renfrew Fair this year.

Kim Mitchell will be in front of the grandstand on the Saturday night, Sept. 6 at 8 p.m..

Mitchell has sang previ-ously in Renfrew, during the town’s 150th anniversary year of 2008 at the Ma-Te-Way Ac-tivity Centre.

The 62-year-old native of Sarnia is recording a new un-titled album, due for release this year.

2014 also marks the 30th anniversary of Akimbo Alogo, his debut solo album.

Long-time hits Rock N Roll Duty, I Am A Wild Party, Pa-tio Lanterns, Go For A Soda, That’s the Hold, plus many of his Max Webster songs will bring back memories for Mitchell’s legions of fans.

The singer-songwriter has achieved gold and multiplati-num status over a long and storied career, starting early on as leader of the musically eclectic Max Webster, a band who in the late 1970s defi ned alternative and independent long before the words became clichés.

Mitchell has sold more than 1.5 million recordings over a lengthy solo career that fol-lowed and remains creatively vibrant to this day. Along the way he won three Juno Awards for Most Promising Male Vo-calist of the Year, Album of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year.

HAVING FUN

Mitchell is quick to point out, it’s not about looking at a wall of photos and awards, but what he can do, and enjoy, today.

He noted, while the Max Webster days were good, the main highlights of his career followed.

“I actually became more successful after the Max Web-ster days,” he said. “That was not the way I planned it.”

Mitchell has maintained a busy touring schedule.

“I played a lot in the sum-

mer over the past fi ve years, and a lot last winter. But I’ve taken some time off this sum-mer.”

Mitchell, who calls himself a “track junky” will be using some down time to go to Cali-fornia and get in some speed action behind the wheel.

Ten years ago, Mitchell joined the on-air staff of radio station Q107 in Toronto from

2 to 6 p.m., something he has enjoyed.

“It makes me a bit of extra gas money. It’s so expensive now, I had to take a second job,” Mitchell quipped.

Mitchell, who has a tour to Albert and Saskatchewan coming up before the Ren-frew Fair, said the response he gets from stops in this area are good.

Proudly serving since 1871

Jordan McIntosh brings his country to the Renfrew Fair stage Sept. 5

LUCY HASS/METROLAND

Carleton Place’s Jordan McIntosh will be on stage Friday night at the 2014 Renfrew Fair.


News - Ottawa Valley country mu-sic fans can look forward to grand-stand entertainment at the upcoming Renfrew Fair.

Popular country music sensation Jordan McIntosh of Carleton Place will be on stage Friday, Sept. 5 at 8 p.m.

McIntosh is fresh off the releas-ing of his latest single, Grew Up in a Country Song, on June 10, 2013.

“It’s about Carleton Place,” the 18-year-old said of the hit.

“It’s about where I grew up, and this makes it even more special. I will never forget where I came from, and no matter where my career takes me, I will always return.”

Grew Up in a Country Song, along with many other of McIntosh songs, was recorded in Nashville,

McIntosh certainly isn’t unfamil-iar with performing in the Valley. He was among the top entertainers at the Calabogie Country Music Festival in June of last year.

McIntosh credits sister Melissa with steering his career in this direc-tion.

“My entire family is musical, but I idolized my sister,” he explains on his website.

“She started to sing before I did and, being younger, I wanted to do ev-erything she did. That’s how I found out I could sing. I never really studied music. I just sang all the time. I know there’s a one in a million chance that you can make a career of your abil-ity to sing. That’s always kept me fo-cused, but I couldn’t do any of this without my family.”

Parking restrictions at Renfrew Fair

News - Due to safety concerns of all riders and exhibitors, there will be no parking on the Renfrew fairgrounds from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 6.

There will be parking for the handicap and exhibitors only.

While we recognize that this may be an inconvenience, we are doing this to ensure that none of our exhibitors are put in a risky situation between a horse and car and to also make sure that should we need an ambulance to get in quickly, this can be accomplished in a timely manner.

Thank you for understanding!Board of Directors

In memory of our dear Mother, Grandmother, Gram and GG

Pearl Elizabeth RoseJuly 19, 1927 – August 30, 2013

The moment that you died,Our hearts split in two,

The one side filled with memories,The other died with you.

We often lay awake at night,When the world is fast asleep,

And take a walk down memory lane,With tears upon our cheeks. Remembering you is easy,

We do it every day,But missing you is a heartache,

That never goes away.We hold you tightly within

our heartsAnd there you will remain,

Life has gone on without you, But it will never be the same.

For those who still have their moms,Treat her with tender care,

You will never know the emptiness,As when you turn and she is not

there.

Love foreverGerald, Donna & family

Colleen Felhaber It is with utmost sorrow that we

announce the passing of our beloved Colleen. Surrounded by Ronnie, Sarah and Jake on Saturday August 23rd, 2014. Loving wife and best friend of Ronnie. Devoted mother of Sarah and Jake. Born on St. Patrick’s Day, 1963, Colleen was the middle daughter of Patrick Valiquette and the late Shirley (nee Davidson) of the Opeongo Line. Beloved sister of John (Donna) Cormac, Mark (Colleen) Peterborough, Mary (Emile Emond) Arnprior, Paddy (Leah) Stirling, Rachel (Bill Pettigrew) Renfrew. Fondly remembered by many Aunts, Uncles, nieces nephews and cousins.

Colleen was a woman of many talents and had a strong abiding faith from which she always drew comfort. She had a knack for making everyone she met feel special. Colleen enjoyed a childhood full of fun, work and wonder: from – working in the hay, pretend weddings with her sisters Mary and Ray up the old road, fireworks in the front yard, huge games of baseball and ball hockey with the O’Briens, Aubreys, Davidsons and many other neighbours, trips to Lake Clear, endless berry picking, Sunday mass with a picnic to follow at the Dacre turn or NewFoundout, treats at Breens store, and all 6 kids being packed into a car in the dead of winter to spend Christmas with Granny and Grampy Davidson and their clan up in Kapuskasing. Then one day, on the school bus, a tall handsome boy caught Colleen’s attention and her Irish eyes have been smiling ever since. On any given day, a visit to their home, meant you’d likely hear Ronnie on the guitar accompanying Colleen with her beautiful voice. Along with her beautiful voice, her Irish wit and kindly nature, it was surely a home abound with music, love and laughter – not to mention the smell of homemade bread coming from the kitchen and a fresh tin of buttertarts cooling on the rack. It was here, just a stone’s throw from where she was raised, in the home they built together (often with a new project underway) that Colleen was happiest. Her plans for the day would often include a 4-Wheeler ride to the camp in the mountains she loved. Making her happiness complete were her most precious possessions, Sarah and Jake, of whom she was so very proud.

A celebration of Colleen’s life will be held on Saturday August 30th at 11 a.m. at St. Josephs Catholic Church, Esmonde, on the Opeongo Line. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Renfrew Victoria Hospital, Oncology Unit would be appreciated.

We love you Cause. You done good.

Ultimate Cowboy Obstacle Race featured at Renfrew FairRenfrew Agricultural Society

Community - The 160th Renfrew Fair will host the Ultimate Cowboy Obstacle Race on Sunday, Sept. 7, commencing at 11 a.m. This is a new event for the fair and we are eagerly awaiting the show.

Ultimate Cowboy Race is an all breed multi-faceted equestrian sport that requires both the horse and the rider to demonstrate both speed

and horsemanship over obstacles not normally associated with a trail class.

The vast majority of obstacles that the rider will encounter in a cowboy race are challenges they would face while on a trail ride or daily work on a ranch.

No specialized training is required, and horses of all breeds and all ages with little or no specialized training are encouraged to par-

ticipate. Two of the primary purposes of the sport is to have fun with your horse and im-prove your horsemanship at the same time.

A cowboy race is an event that challenges both horse and rider to maneuver through a se-ries of obstacles demonstrating both horseman-hip and speed. Western tack and clothes are required. Scoring is done by awarding points from a 0 to a 10 and each obstacle is rated from

a one to a 6. Points are awarded on the ap-proach to the obstacle, the obstacle itself and the departure from the obstacle.

So come out, and encourage the rides on. Spectators are encouraged to participate by helping the riders maneuver through the course, and of course music makes this a fun sport for both competitor and spectator.

Cricket’s Canine Country Club presents ...Donna WhitmoreCricket’s Canine Country Club

Community - The Cricket’s Hot-dogger Canine All Stars are teams of handlers, all students of Cricket’s Canine Country Club, and, of course, their very talented dogs.

We offer a variety-type show which is both educational and entertaining.

Our shows are choreographed to music, and showcase events such as getting started with your dog, tricks, agility, Frisbee, musical freestyle [or dancing], a precision obedience drill set to music, as well as some fun ca-

nine games. Our goal is to inform the public about motivational ways of working with their family pets, that positive reinforcement does not mean permissive and that training can and should be fun.

It’s all about building a bond and relationship with your dog.

One of the main purposes of the demo show is to show people how to have fun with their dogs.

Come and watch the HOTDOG-GER Canine All Stars in action at the Renfrew Fair!

Show times are Saturday, Sept. 6 at 2 and 4 p.m.

Food at the Renfrew FairRenfrew Agricultural Society

Community - The food vendors at Renfrew Fair are changing slightly this year. The dining hall behind the grandstand will be operated by Smokehouse Café. They will offer three meals a day all with a Southern fl avour. Breakfast will consist of ba-con and eggs, waffl es & sandwiches. For lunch and dinner fair goers will have a choice of wraps, sandwiches, ribs or chicken.

The food booth located beside the viewing stand will be operated by the Renfrew County Metis Association. Pizza, sausages, hamburgs, hot dogs and corn on the cob will be on the menu.

As usual, the Renfrew Rotary Club will return with their famous bacon

on a bun. All proceeds from the fair booth are put back into the commu-nity.

The United Church will operated the food booth in the Armouries. Soup, sloppy joes, hot dogs and pizza will be on the menu.

The Kinsmen Club will be serv-ing hamburgs, sausages, hot dogs and fries from their building across from Gate # 2 at the Barr Street entrance to the fairgrounds.

The food booth beside the main grandstand will be operated by the Renfrew Presbyterian Church. Ham-burgs, hot dogs and fries will be on the menu.

As you can see there are many local food booths at the fair as well as the food that is available in the midway operated by World’s Finest Shows.

Sports - Dave Dobson has been in-volved in elite volleyball for decades, but his retirement from teaching a decade ago hasn’t left him far from the game.

After leaving the Greater Toronto Area to live in Cobden in 2006, the six-time Ontario college coach of the year has been working with coaches in and outside the Upper Ottawa Valley to develop an elite volleyball club.

Last season, the Upper Ottawa Val-ley Vikings Volleyball Club was born, with three age-group teams, and this season the plan is to have as many eight boys or girls teams in the 14-18 age bracket.

“My goal is to make the Upper Ot-tawa Valley a hotbed for volleyball,” says Dobson during a break in action during the Aug. 14-18 Vikings camp at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School in Renfrew. He also coached Clarke High School (Newcastle) to single-A and double-A gold medals at the On-tario high school championships in the 1980s.

Dobson, who attended Opeongo High School in the 1970s, is proud to

say he has coached three athletes who went on to be Canadian volleyball Olympians Steve Brinkman, Dustin Reid and Chris Wolfenden.

Joining him as coaches for the camp were Renfrew County coaches Bernie Sul, Ross Smith, Brennan Trainor of St. Joe’s and Dan Sloan of Fellowes High School in Pembroke, Pontiac and former Newfoundland provincial coach Gerald Wheeler, Trent University student and former St. Joe’s player Rebecca MacLaren, John Prata of Seneca College and Emily Schultz of Sir Sanford Flem-ing College.

The camp attracted 12 boys and 28 girls from schools across Renfrew County and the Pontiac.

For $200, players received a camp T-shirt, snacks during nutrition breaks and coaching for fi ve days.

Camp content included movement drills, forearm passing, combination drills, injury prevention and jump training, offensive options, defensive systems, 2-on-2 King or Queen of the court, a mini tournament and scrim-maging.

President of the Upper Ottawa Val-ley Vikings Volleyball Club executive is Kelly Sul of Renfrew. For more de-tails on the Vikings, contact director

Sports - The Renfrew Golf Club will be looking to return to the glory of its winning ways at the 85th Gordon Cup golf tournament Saturday and Sunday of Labour Day Week-end.

Whatever happens, the Ren-frew 14 won’t have to travel far to decide their fate.

The Arnprior Golf Club hosts this year’s fi ve-team

event, which also includes the Pembroke, Mississippi and Deep River golf clubs.

It’s been six years since Renfrew last won the presti-gious Cup for Ottawa Valley golf supremacy.

The local squad emerged champions on the home greens and fairways during Renfrew’s 150th anniversary celebrations of 2008.

That ran a Renfrew streak to nine Gordon Cup titles in 11 years.

2009 PLAYOFF

They almost made it 10 titles in 12 years, but fell in 2009 to host Pembroke in the fi rst playoff in Gordon Cup history.

Since then, it’s been some hard times as Renfrew fi nished fi fth in the Valley competition each of the past two years.

2013 marked the second playoff in Gordon Cup his-tory.

Again, Pembroke found the

winning formula, on the 37th hole, to end the Arnprior Golf Club’s three-year Gordon Cup winning streak, allowing the city team to enter this year’s event as defending champi-ons.

There was one other Gor-don Cup deadlock.

Back in the early 1970s, Arnprior and Pembroke also tied, noted Cup custodian Glenn Buder of Arnprior.

The championship was awarded to Arnprior that year

on the basis of a mathematical formula to break the tie.

Endeavouring to push Renfrew back to the top of the Gordon Cup ladder this year are Rob Warren, Tim Lemoyre Jr., Steve Mulvihill, Paul Wren, Paul Simard, Pat Holmes, Richard Barr, Brian Hewitt, Jamey Larone, David Hall, Kip Mulvihill, David Gallagher, Peter Barnes and Harvey Murray.

Alternates are Don Shalla and Keith McKinnon.

Warren will be participat-ing in his 44th Gordon Cup tournament.

The top 12 of 14 scores dai-ly make up a team’s fi nal tally in the two-day 36-hole event.

The Gordon Cup began when J.P. Gordon of Renfrew donated a prestigious piece of hardware named in his hon-our for Ottawa Valley golf su-premacy in 1930.

That came one year after the Renfrew Golf Club was established.

Sports - Rocky Mountain House saw their combined regular season and 2014 playoff winning streak snapped at 16 games when drop-ping a 9-6 decision to the IDP Group Young Guns in game three of their best-of-fi ve Ma-Te-Way Mixed Slo Pitch League semifi nal series Aug. 19.

However, that only delayed their qualifi cation for the league fi nal by a bit over an hour.

Rocky Mountain House answered with an 18-9 win to oust the defend-ing league champion Young Guns in game four.

The Young Guns overcame a 6-0 defi cit with fi ve runs in the sixth in-ning and four in the seventh to mo-mentarily stave off elimination with their game three win.

Shawn Walters and Matt Brennan homered, while a ball off the bat of Tyler Miller turned into a four-base error to help propel the IDP Group to victory.

Winning pitcher Caitlin Dough-erty added four hits.

Frank Visneskie, Landin Miller and Randy Smith clubbed round trip-pers for RMH.

The restaurateurs came back to punch their ticket to the champion-

ship round with their win in game four.

Scott Davis, Randy Smith and Steve Fraser slugged the long ball for RMH. Smith’s was his sixth dinger of the series. Davis also had four hits, while Jacob Fulton earned the mound victory.

Walters cranked his second home run of the night in the losing cause. Andrew Green also went deep for the Young Guns.

OTHER SERIES DELAYED

The other semifi nal series got stalled last week.

Militant Outdoors and Mac’s Milk were scheduled to play on Wednes-day, and then, Thursday, but were rained out on both occasions.

Militant leads the best-of-fi ve se-ries 2-0.

Lifestyle - The dock diving train-ing day at Avalon Ranch near Renfrew in Horton was a big hit with the local community.

Several breeds of dogs, big and small, made it out Aug. 24 to learn more about the exciting sport of dock diving.

This year, Avalon Ranch divided up dogs and owners in smaller groups called ‘waves’ to allow for more indi-vidual pool time.

This was one of many improve-ments that the Spurrells, owners of the ranch, have implemented this year. Line-ups were kept down to a mini-mum with the multiple waves rather than one line-up for the sold-out train-ing day.

ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE

Head trainer Mary Spurrell had sev-eral training techniques up her sleeve with her positive reinforcement princi-ples “to make for an enjoyable experi-ence for all,” reported Todd Spurrell.

The day fi nished off with some of the more experienced dogs participat-ing in a photo shoot. Spectators gath-

Dogs, owners discover joys of dock diving at Avalon Ranch in Horton

Cooper, a small Border Collie mix owned by Fran Chaput, grabs a toy out of mid-air in a Big Air dem-onstration. Cooper has been taking dock diving and dog sledding classes at Avalon Ranch in Horton for about a year. Chaput and Cooper also compete in the Extreme Vertical and Speed Retrieve competitions, as well as participating in Disc Dog, Agility and Dog Sledding activities.

ered as the amazing dogs took to the air to catch and retrieve their favorite toy in Big Air, Extreme Vertical and Speed Retrieve events.

VIDEO AVAILABLE

Cindy Lottes Photogra-phy of Bristol, Quebec was on hand to capture some

dramatic shots and video that can be seen on Avalon Ranch’s Facebook page at www.aval-onranch.ca.

In her blog, Lottes wrote that Avalon Ranch has an amazing set-up for training beginner dogs and hosting in-ternational competitions.

“The morning began with

classes for beginners and fi rst-time dock jumping dogs,” she wrote.

“Some of the dogs had never even swam before, but by the end of the class most of them were jumping off the high dock and loving it,” Lottes added..

“It was amazing to watch

some of the more nervous dogs transform into happy, confi dent animals.”

Lottes noted that some dogs were jumping over fi ve feet high.

“If you’ve got a dog that loves the water and will do anything for a toy, check this place out,” she concluded.

Sports - Not even Mother Nature could hold back the record-setting number of cy-clists who turned out Sunday, Aug. 17 to ride the fi fth annual Tour de Bonnechere in sup-port of the Pembroke Regional Hospital MRI Image Matters campaign and the local food bank.

153 cyclists braved the weather conditions to ride their choice of the 100 km, 60 km or 18-km family ride. Cy-clists of all experience levels, from semi-pro athletes to the youngest at two years old, set out to challenge the roads of Bonnechere Valley.

Over 74 cyclists toured the 100-km route that included the towns of Cormac, Brudenell and Foymount before fi nish-ing up their tour along Grattan Road, Scotch Bush Road and Fourth Chute Road. Known to local cyclists as the Seven Sisters of Brudenell, it is an arduous route that climbs for the fi rst 50 plus kilometres.

The 60-km cyclists toured an equally challenging route by climbing Foymount Hill before enjoying their down-hill reward along the Opeongo Line. At times, the 60- and 100-km routes overlapped and, at one such junction, the cyclists were treated to a re-fueling station sponsored by Greystone Manor. Cold wa-ter, Gatorade, fresh oranges and bananas were on hand to power the cyclists through the remainder of their tour.

The 18-km family ride fea-tured 24 cyclists of all ages. The sun broke just as the fam-ily riders set out to the Bon-nechere Caves, where they enjoyed a guided tour of this natural underground wonder by their host Chris Hinsperger and his staff. Upon return-ing to Legion Field Park, the younger riders were presented with their offi cial spelunkers medallions.

Although, not offi cially a race (cyclists can ride at any pace), there were record-break-ing times posted by a group of

seven riding the 100-km route. Their offi cial time was 2 hours 39 minutes, which translates into an average speed of 38-39km/hour.

Given the number and vary-ing speeds that the cyclists were travelling at, all rid-ers sincerely appreciated the patience and consideration given to them by the motorists sharing the road. Thankfully, the tour was completed with-out incident even though the County of Renfrew paramed-ics were on hand to support the cyclists if needed.

Event sponsors Tammy and Damien McCarthy from Gear-Heads were thrilled with the number of cyclists who turned out for the event. This year’s 153 cyclists represents a 50 per cent increase in participa-tion over the previous year.

Plans are already underway for next year’s event which will take place Sunday, Aug. 16. Details can be found on the Tour de Bonnechere’s website at http://tour debonnechere.blogspot.ca

Dramatic fi nish to Perley’s tournamentPeter [email protected]

Sports - The second Perley Black Memorial Puck and Ball tournament Aug. 22 and 23 at Ma-Te-Way ended in dramatic fashion. Trailing 17-10 with only three outs to work with, Arnprior erupted for eight runs in the bottom of the sev-enth inning to pull out an 18-

17 win over the Teachers.Randy Smith raced across

home plate with the winning run on Ryan Valliquette’s two-out single to cap the come-back.

Jesse Hann pulled the trig-ger for two home runs, while pitcher Jason Carkner added a solo shot for Arnprior. Chris Byrne collected four hits and scored three runs to help Arn-

prior deposit the champion-ship cheque of $550.

The Teachers – made up mainly of St. Joseph’s and Ren-frew Collegiate staff members – got home runs from Grant McCune and pitcher Mike McMahon. They appeared to salt the game away with a six-run top-of-the-seventh inning before Arnprior came back.

Timberwolves hit the ice tonight for pre-season junior B actionPeter [email protected]

Sports - After going through the rigours of three consecutive nights of training camp, the Renfrew Timberwolves get to play against some league opposition this week.

The back-to-back home games against East-ern Ontario Junior Hockey League opponents Arnprior and Stittsville also allow coach Kip Mulvihill, and assistants Mike Bredlaw and Danby Suckow, as well as general manager Brent Sylvester an opportunity to survey the club’s talent before the always tough fi nal deci-sions are made.

The Wolves hosted the Arnprior Packers Wednesday, Aug. 27 at 8 p.m., and take on the newly-named Stittsville Rams (formerly Roy-als) tonight (Thursday) in an 8 p.m. start at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

Renfrew also hosts the Pontiac Juniors in preseason action Wednesday, Sept. 3 at 8 p.m.

The Wolves open the 2014-15 Valley Divi-sion season Friday, Sept. 12 when they travel to the Perth Community Centre to take on the Perth Blue Wings at 7:45 p.m.

On Saturday, Sept. 13, the Wolves host an EOJHL Showcase event at the MAC.

The fi ve Metro Division teams take on fi ve Valley Division clubs in a day-long series of regular-season games getting underway when

the Arnprior Packers meet the Ottawa Junior Canadians at 9:30 a.m.

The Wolves meet the Metcalfe Jets in the fi -nal game of the day at 7:30 p.m.

The Wolves – a participant in four of the past fi ve Valley Division championship series, including titles in 2011 and 2013 – will have a number of familiar faces back.

Among them at training camp were goalten-ders Matt Gagne and Matt Schroeder.

Others from last year’s fi rst place club and Valley Division fi nalist team out to training camp include defencemen Michael Minns, No-lan Rook, Teddy Suckow and Alex Campbell; and forwards Tanner Smith, Colin Bradbury, Patrick Dick, Matt McIntyre, Scott Conroy, Luke Lapierre and Cole Allard.

“Lucas Gonu will look real good in a Wolves jersey,” coach Mulvihill said of the ex-Pembroke Lumber King who is back with the Wolves to complete his junior hockey career.

Also at camp were a number of home prod-ucts. Some have higher hopes than others of landing a spot with the junior team. For all, the training camp will provide a valuable experi-ence.

Two of them, defencemen and Wolves hope-fuls Grady Zohr and Spencer Hill got into a spirited scrap on the Wednesday night of train-ing camp. “Two 16-year-olds trying to make the club,” coach Mulvihill said.

Off the ice, Derek McGrimmon has taken over the club’s presidential reins from Doug Miller, who stepped down last month.

The Wolves will have their regular booth at the Renfrew Fair Sept. 3 to 7.

A draw for a season’s pass and $100 will take place at 5 p.m. on the Sunday.

Those same tickets will give you an oppor-tunity to win an additional $500 just before Christmas at a Dec. 19 home game.

Community – There were eight full tables in duplicate bridge action Aug. 20 at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

Congratulations to the winners:North South: 1. Nancy Cavanagh

and Phillippa Baran; 2. Lew Mac-Donald and Ed McCann; 3. Joni Fine and Gord McArthur.

East West: 1. Tom Sewter and Steve Gray; 2. Andy Sklepowicz and Kevin McSheffrey; 3. Rick Duncan and Leanne Cheliak.

The cards turned around this week, with the bulk of the play happening in East-West.

Kudos to pairs Andy Sklepow-icz and Kevin McSheffrey, and Tom Sewter and Steve Gray, for bidding

and making a Six Hearts Slam on Board 22. Well done, gentlemen!

Phillippa Baran and Nancy Ca-vanagh showed their grit by making Four Hearts Doubled on Board 3 and Four Hearts Doubled on Board 28 for scores of 590 and 990 respectively. Jeannie Yagminas and Morgan Phil-lips successfully battled their way through Three No Trump Doubled for a grand total of 950.

Duplicate bridge begins at 1 p.m. each Wednesday. Everyone is wel-come. Partners are provided for those who come early.

Chalk Talk Sessions are held prior to play at 12:30 p.m. for interested participants.

A series of strategies on defence has begun. The topic Attitude will be covered Sept. 3.

Eight bridge tables in action

Christine McNaughtonRenfrew Victoria Hospital Auxiliary

Community - The Renfrew Victoria Hos-pital Auxiliary has been organizing marathon bridge as a service to the community, and as an annual fundraiser for the hospital, for over 50 years.

Convener Janet Os-borne tells us, “Over the years marathon bridge has brought together people who love to play the game, introduced new friends to each other and has been a

great way for newcom-ers to meet other bridge players.”

She says that this game is not as serious as duplicate bridge and you and your partner can feel comfortable playing at any level.

If you haven’t played marathon bridge before, here’s how it works.

A schedule is made up for you in which each couple plays with a different couple on the list once every two weeks throughout the season once a month at your home and once a month at their home.

Janet said, “We wel-come your participation and hope that you can be part of the group. If you don’t have a partner, call and I may be able to fi nd one for you.”

The cost is $20 a person and you pick up your schedule at the hospital gift shop in September and play ev-ery two weeks until the end of March.

The groups are being made up now, so please don’t hesitate to call Janet at 613-432-9177 for more details or to register.

Back-to-school spending costs hundreds of dollarsLifestyle - Things were much easier when

all you needed for school was a piece of chalk and some slate. Back then, parents weren’t goaded into spending hundreds of dollars on school supplies for their children but, times have changed.

A recent report from the website Retail-MeNot.ca discovered the fi nancial burden of being Canadian parents during the back-to-school shopping season. That burden includes these two stats: most parents will spend over $200 on school supplies for their children, and 12 per cent of parents plan to spend over $400

These numbers are not a surprise to Jeff Schwartz, executive director of Consolidated Credit Counseling Services of Canada, who says back-to-school shopping is a major ex-pense for parents.

“Although my former English teachers may cringe at this sentence, back-to-school shop-ping ain’t cheap!” says Schwartz.

“School supplies are a source of great angst for parents. There’s a lot of pressure to make your kids happy, but also a lot of stress about trying to stick to a budget. I’ve found that both goals can be reached by shopping smart and in-volving your children in the process.”

Consolidated Credit offers the following tips to Canadian parents who are looking to decrease the amount of money it costs to outfi t their children for school:

• Gather up unused supplies from last year – If you look hard enough, you will probably fi nd a large stash of school supplies some-where in your home. Unused pencils, crayons and rulers are hidden away in various drawers and cupboards just waiting to be used. Rescue these supplies from a life of neglect and give them to your child. Remember, a pencil found is a dollar earned!

• For the kids, by the kids – If you’ve been struggling to teach your kids about money, now is the perfect time. Set up your young ones with

some fake money and a budget and have them scour back-to-school fl yers for good deals. They’ll get to make the decision on what to buy and will learn about money in the process.

• Use the Internet – There’s no excuse for not searching online for better deals than what you can fi nd in the store. Taking the time to compare prices and clip coupons will save you money. If you think this sounds like a chore, just think of the savings as a salary.

• Kids can pay too – If you’ve got a teenager at home who is demanding the latest gadget or fashions, the fi nancial burden doesn’t always

have to fall on the parents. Let you child know that they can take some of their allowance or savings and put it towards the item they so des-perately want. After making this offer, you may fi nd that that item isn’t as ‘must have’ as it once was.

• Strength in numbers – If everybody is back-to-school shopping, why are you doing it alone? Call up your friends and neighbours who have children of similar ages and go to-gether on a group buy. You’ll get the price ben-efi ts of buying in bulk without the annoyance of having to store a bunch of extra supplies.

“Summer is almost over and school will soon be back in session,” says Schwartz. “Send-ing your kids back to school well-equipped to do their best is the goal of every parent. But, that goal doesn’t have to be overly expensive. Looking for savings and shopping smart is the best way to get an A+ on your back-to-school shopping report card!”

Consolidated Credit Counseling Services of Canada is a national non-profi t credit counsel-ling organization that teaches consumers about personal fi nance.

Overseas students - here they come, there they goSteve [email protected]

News – Rotary Youth Exchanges are not new, but they’re educational and energizing.

New people and countries, new cultures and new languages are all part of the experiences for young-sters who take part in the decades-long international program.

That pattern continues for the Ro-tary Club of Renfrew this fall, as two local students head overseas and an-other student visits from Brazil.

The outgoing students are Grade 12 students Amanda Limlaw, 17, of Admaston-Bromley and Renfrew Collegiate Institute and Ashley Fon-tes, 16, of Dacre and St. Joseph’s Catholic High School who won’t re-turn home until the summer of 2015.

Normally, one local student heads overseas each year, but a vacancy at another club in the district means two students will get an international exchange in 2014-15.

Fontes’s own family has hosted students from such countries as Ven-ezuela, Brazil, Croatia, Mexico and Thailand over the years.

“So I’ve been training for this for a while,” says Fontes, whose inter-national exchange will take her to stay with three families in Lille, in

northern France near the border of Belgium.

She has travelled to the United States, Portugal and Mexico, but that’s the extent of foreign travel for the Dacre youngster, who under-stands French but admits it’s a chal-lenge to speak.

Limlaw, who travelled to Spain and France in 2013, says her exchange in the eastern European country of Cro-atia is all part of her preparation to be an overseas teacher.

“I love travelling,” she says before heading to a country that is credited with bringing men’s ties and Dalma-tian dogs into the world.

Croatia is also known for its beau-tiful seacoast and beaches, and meats and cheeses.

She’ll be staying in the small town of Samobor, near the border of Slo-venia and about an hour from the Croatian capital of Zagreb.

The exchange student who will soon arrive in the Renfrew area, where hosts will include the Fon-tes family, is Daniel Cavalcanti of Recife, in northern Brazil. With its beaches, rivers and coral reefs, the city of 1.5 million is nicknamed the Venice of Brazil. It was also a co-host of the recent FIFA World Cup.

Rotary exchange students are re-sponsible for their own travel expens-

es, while families incur the expenses for accommodation of students. The Rotary clubs provide some fi nances for incidentals, like a jacket and busi-ness cards, and a nominal monthly allowance.

Fontes, the Rotary district 7040’s incoming youth exchange chair-man, says the program generates

education, tremendous goodwill and unique cultural opportunities.

The local Rotary club is also seek-ing more host families.

Entering the Fontes-Lofthouse family’s eighth year of hosting over-seas students, Kathleen Lofthouse

says the visits always create in-creased awareness about countries outside Canada.

Families interested in hosting a foreign exchange student for about three months are asked to contact Lofthouse at 613-433-0266.


Overseas-bound students Amanda Limlaw (left) of Admaston-Bromley and Ashley Fontes of Dacre sport big smiles before heading overseas as participants in the Rotary Youth Exchange program. Renfrew Rota-ry Club supporters of the long-standing initiative are president Janet Springer, Renfrew club youth exchange chair Kathleen Lofthouse and Joe Fontes, district 7040’s incoming youth exchange chairman.

RCDSB Booster Program a fun way to work on literacy, numeracy skillsJake DaviesRenfew County District School Board

News - Kinder-garten, Grade 1 and Grade 2 students in Renfrew County received a boost in their literacy and nu-meracy skills, thanks to the July Booster Program hosted at several Ren-frew County Dis-trict School Board schools.

For the past 33 years, thousands of children have im-proved their reading, writing and math skills through the free Summer Boost-er program. This summer 247 Kin-dergarten, Grade 1

and 2 students from Renfrew County reg-istered for the free weekday morning program which ran July 2 to 25.

A dynamic team of innovative and creative RCDSB teachers deliver a lit-eracy and numeracy program in a camp-like atmosphere.

The educators are all committed to the growth and develop-ment of children and implement the latest, research-based, best practices in teaching and learning.

They all bring experience and knowledge of strat-egies that promote skill development in language and math-

ematics in the early years.

Students enjoy en-gaging, motivational and purposeful ac-tivities. The program helps boost students’ confi dence in lit-eracy and numeracy through a fun, inter-active and supportive environment.

SIGHT WORDS

The program boosts students’ knowledge of sight words, reading strate-gies and comprehen-sion skills as well as skills in mathematics including number identifi cation, count-ing, patterning and number operations.

“Students in Kin-

dergarten, Grade 1 and Grade 2 are at a critical stage of lit-eracy and numeracy development,” Sum-mer Booster Pro-gram Administrator Cathy Kyle said. “The Booster pro-gram helps promote life-long student success.”

This year there were 10 Booster sites across Renfrew County, including A. J. Charbon-neau Public School, Beachburg Public School, Cobden Dis-trict Public School, Eganville Public School, General Lake Public School, Herman Street Pub-lic School, Highview Public School, Kil-

laloe Public School, Mackenzie Com-munity School and Queen Elizabeth Public School.

HOW DID YOUR BUSINESS START?Ballintotas Alpacas was born from a desire to spend more quality time with our children in a low stress, family-oriented business venture. After visiting area farms, we fell in love with the alpacas’ fuzzy topknots and big expressive eyes and quickly recognized it as a rewarding hobby.

INSPIRATION TO BE THE BEST?By breeding high end, award winning alpacas we ensure that products made from our animals’ fleece are top quality.

SIGNATURE PRODUCT? Probably our alpaca socks. The super heavy terry socks are our best seller followed closely by our lighter ribbed, diabetic and ankle socks.

MOST PROUD OF?We are proud to showcase the most comprehensive line of alpaca products in the province.

SECRET TO SUCCESS?Doing something we love and believing that people want to share in that experience.

WHAT’S NEW?We are currently involved with Algonquin College in production and promotion of a new alpaca product. We are excited about this opportunity and the potential it holds.

This small family farm is full of charm. From the

gentle, intelligent and somewhat shy alpacas to

the beautifully handcrafted products made from

their fleece; this venture is a valuable reminder

of the contribution niche farms make to the fabric

of our rural landscape.

Started in 2003 with two alpacas, as a way for

owners Shannon and Chris Rouleau to spend more

quality time outdoors with their two children,

caring for livestock, the operation now produces

award winning alpacas and top quality fleece.

You are welcome to share their labour of love

by visiting the rustic farm gate store which

showcases a variety of finished and unfinished

products. Fibre directly from the animal can be

bought in its raw form, rovings are available

for spinners, and spun yarns can be purchased

for weaving and handcrafting. Finished items

such as socks, blankets, scarves and mittens

make unique and impressive gifts. Heirloom

keepsakes are accompanied by a personalized

card introducing the lucky recipient to the animal

who produced the fibre and the loving process

involved in creating the gift.

The benefits of alpaca products are numerous.

As soft as cashmere and warmer than sheep wool

the lightweight material is also hypo-allergenic.

The farm hosts National Alpaca Farm Days

annually. On this weekend, the public is invited

to tour the farm, observe crafting demonstrations,

experience alpaca farming first hand, and meet

the alpacas.

and videos, and find dates and times of events.78 Braeloch Rd., Braeside, ON

Spending some time with Buddy, the last therapy dog still living from an earlier Renfrew-area pet therapy program, at Norlocks on Pinnacle Road from left, are Belinda Tanch with therapy dog Cujo, Sandi Gombik of Precious Pets, Julie Bilton and Val Hutchinson of Valley Animal Res-cue with Buddy and Bill Drummond with Spinner.

News – The dog therapy program launched by St. John Ambulance in Renfrew County is music to Bill Drummond’s ears.

After a dozen years’ absence from the local pet advocacy scene, the founder of the once-active Adopt-A-Pet and therapy dog programs in the Renfrew area is back promoting the value of pets in comforting and treating people with mental health issues.

The St. John Ambulance in Ren-frew County has started the service with about 30 volunteers. The pro-gram’s volunteers visit area hospi-tals, nursing homes and long term care homes with their pets to pro-vide companionship, motivation and comfort to residents who are open to developing a bond with the animals.

Drummond knows fi rst-hand the healing power of pets. His dogs have always been a comfort to him as he dealt with health issues. His current dog, Spinner, helped “save my life,” he says. The Admaston-Bromley res-ident would like to volunteer his time helping those who ‘gift’ therapy pets to those who need them, as well as give motivational speeches and write

articles to spread awareness of the benefi ts of pet and other alternative therapies in the fi ght against mental illness.

During a recent visit to the Nor-lock home on the Pinnacle to see Buddy, the last living therapy dog from his former program, Drum-mond talked about the benefi ts of the program with a couple of residents who have acquired therapy dogs and Val Hutchinson and Julie Bilson of Valley Animal Rescue, a supporter of the program.

Valley Animal Rescue is always on the lookout for potential therapy dogs, noted Hutchison. The Valley-based animal rescue organization already operates a senior and pallia-tive care animals program and one of its main mandates is to educate the public on timely animal topics (for more visit the Valley Animal Rescue Facebook page).

Drummond noted that the therapy dog program linked with Adopt-A-Pet in the late 1990s was low pro-fi le because of the stigma attached to mental health issues at that time. Despite the lack of offi cial sanction, at least 200 therapy pets were pro-vided to people in the Renfrew area who had disabilities or mental health problems and might not otherwise

have been able to afford a pet.Many worked wonders with their

owners, especially those who lived alone, encouraging them to integrate back into society.

“It’s given me my independence back,” says one Renfrew woman who once rarely left her home after being hit by a car. “Since I got Kei-ko, I have the confi dence to go out again.”

“He (dog) gives me a sense of se-renity,” said another woman who was provided with a therapy dog. “He also makes me feel safe.”

The stigma surrounding mental health illness has eased a bit in the last 15 years thanks to some high profi le efforts to publicize and deal with suicide and other related prob-lems. However, mental health prob-lems are still a major challenge in the Upper Ottawa Valley.

There is a waiting list for up to six months for Community Mental Health services, so the professionals could use all they help they can get, said Drummond.

He is urging the many community groups that use to assist Adopt-A-Pet to support the pet therapy effort. Peo-ple such as now retired veterinarian Al Witham and his staff at the Ren-frew Animal Hospital, the Leclaires

at M&R Feeds, Cathy Gretzky, Terry Yuke and many more played key roles in ensuring the Adopt-A-Pet and pet therapy services were pos-sible, he added.

Sandi Gombik of Precious Pets comes in for special praise from Drummond as one of Adopt-A-Pet’s most faithful supporters. She is on board with this latest initiative, con-

tributing money from nail clipping fees and accepting donations at her downtown Renfrew outlet.

“Over the last six years, people have been generously supporting a lot of local causes, but mental health seems to be most often forgotten,” Drummond said. “Service clubs and others used to back our programs … we’re asking them to do it again.”

Community urged to get behind pet therapy programs

Chillin’ in RenfrewTen people take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge as phenomenon hits communityLucy [email protected]

News - The Ice Bucket Challenge made its Renfrew debut last Wednesday after-noon (Aug. 20) as 10 people took the challenge at Odi’s Kingburger.

The challenge, which in-volves dumping a bucket of ice water over one’s head or donating to the ALS Asso-ciation, has gone viral through social media this summer.

The challenge dares nomi-nated participants to be fi lmed

while a buck of ice water is poured over their heads, a cri-teria that was met with fi lm-ing of the Odi’s event by Kirk Hisko.

KEEPING IT GOING

Participants then nominate others for the challenge, and they have 24 hours to comply or forfeit by making a chari-table donation.

Each of the afternoon’s par-ticipants nominated one indi-vidual for the challenge.

Odi’s Restaurant also nomi-nated fellow Renfrew busi-nesses Finnigan’s Roadhouse and Ray’s Flowers.

The ice for the event was donated by another Renfrew business , Dahl’s Conve-nience, also on Stewart Street in the town.

The participants were Kas-saundra Purdie, Robin Au-dette-Hisko, Odi Audette, Ali-son Gibson, Brianne McNulty, Katie Hill, Mae Harris, Caitlyn Hart and Mackenzie Leclaire.

Odi and the girls also donat-ed $250 to the ALS cause.

The ALS Ice Bucket challenge was taken last Wednesday afternoon by, from left, Kassaun-dra Purdie, Robin Audette-Hisko, Odi Audette, Alison Gibson, Brianne McNulty Katie Hill, Mae Harris, Caitlyn Hart and Mackenzie Leclaire.

Numerous events, visitors for museum’s summer seasonMcDougall Mill Museum

Community - With this being the fi nal week for the McDougall Mill Museum’s open season, we would like to thank each and every visi-tor for helping to make 2014 such a great year. We have thoroughly en-joyed opening the museum doors to numerous visitors of all ages, from all over the world. We hope that with each year to come we have greater and greater success.

The numerous events that we have held over the year included Canada

Day Celebrations, Kids Week, our annual Ghost Walk, and Seniors Week, and have all been a great suc-cess this summer. We continue to work hard to change up and improve our events in order to increase our success with each year.

We would like to sincerely thank those who have helped to support us throughout the season, including those who have generously donated artifacts to the museum, and those who have taken the time to come out and visit us. We would also like to take the time to give a special thanks

to The Renfrew Mercury, the Ren-frew Parks and Recreation Depart-ment, MyFM, Valley Heritage Radio, Renfrew Printers, and Renfrew Tour-ism. We wouldn’t have been able to do it without you.

This is the last week of our season at the McDougall Mill Museum, but we host group tours by appointment throughout the fall.

Call 613-432-2129 or email [email protected]. to schedule a private tour.

We hope to see many new and fa-miliar faces next summer!

Sopranos lend voices for evening of music for Golden Age CentreLucy [email protected]

Community - Sopranos Jennifer and Kelly Slight lent their voices to a worthy cause Aug. 21, presenting a recital titled An Evening of Music to raise funds for the Golden Age Ac-tivity Centre.

Generous free-will donations gen-erated $700 for the drop-in seniors centre in downtown Renfrew.

Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church was the backdrop for an eve-ning of classics by Wolfgang Ama-deus Mozart, George Fredric Handel, Franz Schubert and Claude Debussy, Jacques Offenbach and other masters

of music.Pianist Kevin McSheffrey accom-

panied the singers.A programme that included

translation of the songs also offered thanks from the sopranos to the audi-ence, accompanist McSheffrey, Mar-ley Vandewouw, Victoria Slight,

Nellie Kingsbury of the Golden Age Activity Centre, Trinity-St. An-drew’s United Church and “our very supportive family for all of their hard work in preparation for this con-cert.”

Jennifer holds a bachelor of mu-sic from Mount Allison University where she received training from

Wendy Nielsen and Monette Gould. She currently studies voice with Yoriko Tanno-Kimmons and teach-es with the Renfrew County Kelly Catholic District School Board as an elementary music specialist.

Kelly is a recent graduate of the bachelor of music arts program at Western University where she stud-ied under direction of Gwenlynn Little and Lesley Andrews.

This year she will be continuing her education at the University of Ot-tawa for a bachelor of education and has been accepted to pursue a mas-ters of music therapy at Concordia in the fall of 2015.

CHEO Bear, the mascot for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, encourages customers to visit the Renfrew Dairy Queen during the Aug. 14 Dairy Queen Miracle Treat Day. He is joined by compatriots Wiley Coyote and Elmo. This was the 30th year of raising money for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. The eastern Ontario recipient of $1 from each DQ Blizzard purchased is the Ottawa-based CHEO. Karrie Salter, the Renfrew event organizer, said the event is an opportunity for the community to come together, along with staff and their chil-dren, to support an important healthcare facility. The Renfrew store sold 806 blizzards and collected an overall donation of $915 for the miracle network.

News - Starting this week the public can help support Schizo-phrenia Society of On-tario (SSO) by making a donation at any of the more than 635 LCBO stores throughout On-tario.

Donation boxes for SSO will be displayed at LCBO checkout counters, including Renfrew’s, until Sept. 13. SSO is a charitable health organization that supports individuals, families, caregivers and communities affected by schizophrenia and psychosis across the province.

For more than 30 years SSO has made positive changes in the lives of people affected by schizophrenia, by building supportive communities, through support services and education, advocating for system change and research into the fac-tors that directly impact mental illness.

All funds collected as part of the LCBO

campaign will go to-wards funding vital programs and services such as SSO’s Ask the Expert helpline, which provides free counsel-ling and system naviga-tion support across the province.

In Ontario, 135,000 individuals live with schizophrenia and over 405,000 individuals will experience at least one psychotic episode in their lifetime.

The impact of schizophrenia is far-reaching, not only af-fecting the individual, but also families, care-givers, workplaces and the community.

This translates into thousands of people across the province in need of information, as-sistance and support.

“This campaign

draws attention to one of the largest chal-lenges people living with schizophrenia face – discrimination” says SSO CEO Mary Al-berit.

“In addition to the debilitating symptoms of the illness, stigma and discrimination af-fects the way people with schizophrenia live every day and can be a barrier to everything from education and housing to employment and relationships.

“We are thankful to LCBO and its staff for supporting our work this summer - we rely on donations to carry out the majority of our work and it is the gen-erous support from LCBO customers that will make this cam-paign a success.”

Immature green herons move to town; wild turkeys seen tooLifestyle - Keith and Edith West-

brook sent us this email.Hi Jim and Ila:Two green heron chicks, about

eight to ten inches ((20-26cm) tall, arrived on our back deck on Wade Avenue. Our six-year-old grand daughter Lacey Westbrook spot-ted them about 10 o’clock Saturday morning. I saw another fl y by and think it may have been an adult but I am not sure. The two young ones fl ew up into a tall old oak tree at the back of our property, and Edith saw them later that evening, almost dark. We have not seen green heron chicks before so it was quite a rarity to us.

Anne and Andy Humphries and Jack and Jane Clark saw the birds later on Saturday and were very sur-prised to see them near a busy street in town. Immature herons have a ten-dency to wander after they hatch in their search for food without the help of their parents. They do not appear to be concerned about the presence of people.

Thank you for the email. The be-haviour of young birds always amaz-es us.

Hi Jim and Ila:The Japanese maple outside

my offi ce widow is a busy spot this week. Catbirds, that spent the sum-

mer skulking in the lilacs, are out in the open now, fl ipping their tails and making quite a noise. I guess they are limbering up before going south.

There are two Philadelphia vireos here also. This species has been vis-iting here for years so I’m glad to see them stopping in again.

Carol McCuaigThank you, Carol. It seems that

every year they leave too soon.

WILD TURKEYS

We have a turkey hen and her brood who regularly stroll through the fi eld behind the house. All sum-mer she had nine young ’uns but yesterday I noticed she had 10 or possibly 11. I thought she was a fi ne Mother not losing any to the neigh-bourhood fox, wasn’t expecting the brood to increase. Do they adopt orphans that you know of, unless it

is possibly two different families? Hard to believe there would be two large broods in same area.

We have two hummingbirds com-ing to our feeder. Not many other birds around other than crows.

Brian EadyThank you, Brian. It is no wonder

that wild turkeys have increased in numbers so rapidly, when one hen can have this many chicks.

COMMON NIGHTHAWKS

Marlene Hanneman and Cathy Campbell have heard and seen large fl ocks of common nighthawks hawk-ing for fl ying insects just at dusk. These birds are excellent insect gath-erers. They are swift fl iers and have a wide gape to scoop up the insects.

For one individual this ability al-most caused it to perish. It was found with its mouth packed with insects to the point where it had almost stopped breathing. With a little help remov-ing some of the insects, it was able to breathe again and fl ew away.

SOME ARE LEAVING US

Jim and Ruby Vieland have a few tree swallows preparing for the trip south. The birds hawk for insects

along the shores of Muskrat Lake at Cobden. They seem to know when the insect population will no lon-ger provide enough nourishment to increase their fat levels for the trip south. When this occurs they gather and begin to migrate.

Most warblers, yellow warblers in particular, begin their migration south shortly after the young fl edge, usually during the second week of August.

Other warblers, black and white and yellow-rumped, remain well into September mainly because they in-clude more seeds and berries in their

diet. It is time to increase the sugar content in your feeders, from four measures of water to each measure of sugar to three or two measures of water to each measure of sugar.

The male hummers will be leaving soon if they have not already done so. Females and young will be feeding almost continually for the next few weeks to prepare for their trip south. How long they stay will depend on the amount of quality food available and weather conditions. It is best to provide extra food than to have them go without when the nights are cooler,
