ETM Industries Inc. has received a $50,000 grant through the National Research Council’s Industrial Research Assistance Program (IRAP).

This will enable the Renfrew company, which has nearly 100 employees, to more effi ciently manufacture precision components in such fi elds as telecommunications, automotive, aerospace, mining, military and nuclear.

“The grant money will create effi ciencies and lean initiatives, says general manager John Rob-ertson.

“We’re trying to be as effi cient with what we’ve got, bettering the processes with the equipment and head count we have, and eliminating waste where it’s not required.”

ETM Industries, which was founded in 1977, is home to an 80,000 square-feet facility on Hall Av-enue.

“Our Conservative government is supporting these types of projects because they create skilled jobs right here in Canada,” said local MP Cheryl Gallant in a news release.

Such funding is a result of investment by the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario in NRC-IRAP.

Gallant says the NRC’s objectives include link-ing its diverse networks, programs and infra-structure to businesses to help those businesses access, develop and exploit new technologies and knowledge essential for growth and prosperity.

New economy, new opportunities to be explored at Chamber eventTAMMY LOGAN

Renfrew and Area Chamber of Commerce

The New Economy, New Opportunities! showcase will be held Friday, Oct. 21 at the Renfrew Armouries.

The keynote speaker is Ian Portsmouth, editor and associate publisher of PROFIT, Canada’s best-read publication for entre-preneurial business.

In 2008, the Canadian Society of Maga-zine Editors named PROFIT the Maga-zine of the Year in the mid-circulation category.

Portsmouth is also the host of the BMO Business Coach podcast, a twice-monthly series that tackles the top opportunities and issues facing Canadian entrepre-neurs.

Portsmouth will share Secrets of Suc-cess of Canada’s Fastest-Growing Com-panies and how you can build a business in any industry and under any economic circumstance.

There will also be an interactive learn-ing session with Rob Campbell.

With more than 20 years of professional business to business sales, entrepreneur-ship and direct marketing experience, Campbell has built a reputation for devel-oping strong, lasting relationships with customers, colleagues, co-workers and

even competitors.Convinced that to love sales is to under-

stand people and their individual needs, Campbell set out early to prove that do-ing business can better everyone involved in the transaction. He has been sharing his relationship-oriented sales approach with his customers, peers and sales teams for years, and now he shares his wisdom with organizations like yours.

ENTREPRENEUR PANEL

There will be an entrepreneurship pan-el discussion session of small business owners from Renfrew County. With our “theme” focusing on new opportunities in today’s economy. Each panel participant will be allocated three to fi ve minutes to share:

• an overview of their business – prod-ucts/services, years in business, where they are located;

• what strategies have they used in their business in order to be successful; and

• keys to being a successful business in your community.

The panel will then be opened up to questions from participants, providing those in attendance with the opportu-nity to participate in a lively discussion. Sharing experiences, ideas, concerns and

successes provide the entrepreneur with maximum take-home value often in the form of a unique solution.

The showcase will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

sponsors of the event will showcase their products and services.

Community mourns loss of area realtor and Renfrew native

SHERRY HAAIMA

[email protected]

Sharon Enright loved to say ‘The right attitude can move mountains” and indeed, her atti-tude moved many of those around her who are sadly now mourning the loss of the treasured mother and grandmother.

The Valley and the real estate community in particular are mourning the loss of a key fi gure and friend following the sudden death Aug. 25 of Sharon Enright, 61.

Enright was the broker of re-cord at Royal Lepage Enright Real Estate Brokerage in Arnpri-or and had 30 years of real estate experience in the Valley.

She died Thursday of a brain aneurysm, surrounded by family and friends.

Hundreds of family members and friends, including her chil-dren Mark and Paula and their families, said goodbye at funeral services Tuesday morning in Arnprior.

Over the years, Enright moved up to become a premier realtor and became known for her bright smile, energy and love of life.

Born and raised in Renfrew, those remembering Enright say she was a kind and classy woman who was fun to be around.

The annual tradition of the Renfrew County Plowing Match continues this month. From left are co-host Ron Kasaboski of Queenline Road, Ron Jarremkow and Dave Campbell of the Renfrew County Plowmen’s Asso-ciation, and co-host Shirley Kasaboski. The Kasaboski farm is located 7.5 kilometres from the Four Corners.

Renfrew County Plowing Match around the corner

STEVE NEWMAN

[email protected]

For three decades, the Renfrew County Plowmen’s Association has been organizing the county’s annual plowing match and mak-ing a big deal of it.

The only year they didn’t was 1994, when they didn’t hold the county match. Instead, they helped organize the hugely suc-cessful International Plowing Match.

This year the annual event comes to the farm of Ron and Shirley Kasaboski, just opposite the Queensline United Church.

The entrance on Saturday, Sept. 17, will be via the Acres Road from Queensline Rd. (Coun-ty Road 4), near Forester’s Falls.

“It’s important because it pro-motes the county, and it’s a recre-ational family day. It’s for every-one,” said Ron Kasaboski.

“That’s mainly why we got in-volved, to try to do something for the Valley ... because agriculture has gone downhill in the county.

“It used to be one of the big-gest agricultural counties (in the province) ... It was noted for ev-erything, cattle and crops ...”

Farming remains important in the county, just not to the same extent.

To keep farming in the fore-front, organizers have a varied schedule that will feature more than 20 new vendors of eco-friendly products, Tupperware, crafts and more.

The 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. event will, of course, feature entertain-ment and food.

FOOD, FOOD, FOOD

The major entertainer will be Ray Kohlsmith’s country mu-

sic band, while food will come from several vendors in addition to meals provided by 4-H mem-bers and the Queensline United Church women.

Proceeds from the plowing match will go the Forrrester’s Falls and Hayley Station fi re de-partments, the Beachburg Fair and Cobden Fair.

Proceeds from meals prepared by the church will serve as a fundraiser for the parish. The women will be cooking hamburg-ers and hotdogs as well as a mid-day $10 meal of ham, scalloped potatoes, coleslaw and pie. The 4-H members will serve a break-fast of pancakes, sausages, eggs and toast.

QUEEN OF THE FURROW

As always, there will be plow-ing matches in several catego-ries, including elected offi cials, and a Queen of the Furrow con-test.

Awards will be presented in classes of competition for hors-es, tractors and furrow plows.

Queen of the Furrow appli-cants are still invited to register by calling Donna Campbell at 613-432-5568. Applicants must be between 15 and 25.

Contestants will be judged throughout the day on the way they carry themselves, their at-tire, their plowing abilities, a two- to three-minute speech, plus an interview with the judges.

About 25 acres of the Kasabos-ki farm will be used for the plow-ing match.

The food court will feature the likes of Spanky Spuds and Sledz Smokin’ BBQ.

There will also be tractor square dancing, a grain thrash-ing exhibition, a pioneer village,

a blacksmith, heavy horse wagon rides, pony rides by Pinto Valley, ceramics with objects to paint, a grain box from Farm Comes to Town, antique farm equipment, and K&M Hobby Farm. Other

participants will include magi-cian Steve Anthony, and Kathryn Michaud and Peter Boudreau who’ll serve up Frontier Camp bannock

By popular demands, the kids

zone also returns. Admission is free for kids

12 years and younger; $7.50 for those 13 and older.

She was one of the fi rst fran-chisees when the company fi rst moved to franchising about 15 years ago and was well known by her peers for her help and support in establishing their businesses, says Yvonne Rati-gan, vice president of Network Service Royal LePage Canada.

Ratigan had regular contact with Enright over the years and says the loss has shocked people across the company. “She will be sadly missed by an awful lot of people and certainly at head offi ce in Toronto,” she said.

“She was a very lovely, viva-cious person,” said Ratigan.

The real estate business can be a roller coaster ride and deal-ings are not always easy, but Enright handled herself with class and professionalism.

“It’s not always rosy, but she was always someone who was a pleasure to see,” said Ratigan. “She always had a positive atti-tude and a beautiful smile. She ran a great little offi ce in Arn-prior and we were very proud to have her carry the name of Royal LePage. Royal LePage plans an in-memoriam dona-tion to the local women’s shel-ter, a cause Enright supported.

Enright was the daughter of the late Jack Holmes and Mari-lyn (nee Cruise) of Renfrew. She is survived by her children Mark (Sheila) and Paula (Shane English) of Arnprior. She is also survived by grandchildren Brye, Farrah and Ava Enright, Lilianna English and her soon to be fi rst grandson, and sib-lings Gail Sherman (Peter) of Ottawa, Jane Shannon (Doug) of Kanata, Joy Holmes and Nancy Rousselle (Scott) of Ren-frew and Kathryn Payton (Russ Andrews) of Cobourg and is predeceased by her brother Larry.

9/11: Remembering RichieTen years ago, Al Qaeda terrorists

slammed planes into the World Trade Cen-ter, Pentagon and a Pennsylvania fi eld, leaving an indelible scar on America.

I was in California with my sister Louise at the time and did what most vacationing newspeople do under such circumstances – gather up local newspapers.

But I didn’t read them. Until now.Last month I dragged the shopping bag

of newspapers from the back of a closet and began to read.

A decade distanced from the event, I fl ipped through page after page of news-print – The Los Angeles Times; The Beach Reporter; L.A. Weekly; the Daily Breeze from Torrence, California; Ojai Valley News Shopper and Ventura County Star.

“Act of War” the Times’ front page pro-claimed.

The images were also unsettling, par-ticularly one of a man free-falling to his death from one of the World Trade Center buildings.

The Los Angeles Times featured a full page titled The Dead and Missing – a sobering A to Z list of the victims. The sheer volume was staggering. And a sub-head told the sad reality – “These are the names of the terrorists’ victims identi-fi ed so far.”

So far. The two little words spoke vol-umes.

There would undoubtedly be more vic-tims. Like Richie Allen.

His name was scribbled on a candle-lit vigil on the Manhattan Beach, California shoreline after the attacks.

Even a full continent away, there was a connection.

From the sandy rows of memorial trib-utes, Richie’s name spoke to me and I’ll never know why.

Back home after the attack, I Googled his name and learned who he was – Rich-ard Allen, a New York City fi refi ghter from Ladder 15, Manhattan.

There was a photo, as well, of a young man, so ordinary yet so extraordinary.

Nearing the 10th anniversary, I searched again, to learn more.

Like the added tragedy that he was just getting off-duty from a night shift when the call came in that a plane had struck the World Trade Center, and he jumped on

Engine 4 as an extra man.My mystery man died at only 31 years of

age and was laid to rest March 11, 2002.In high school he earned a diving schol-

arship to college, and before becoming a fi refi ghter he was a New York City public school teacher known by his students as “laid back” and “cool.”

A website tribute written by his sister Judy Allen-Aiken speaks of her brother’s vitality and love of the Rockaway Beaches where he once worked as a lifeguard.

“The beach was a powerful place for Richie and brought him comfort; it was Richie’s Heaven on Earth,” she wrote.

“People become fi refi ghters for many reasons. Richie’s family believes that he became a fi reman because saving people and helping is what gave him life,” she wrote.

She described her brother as “one of the good guys” who had an amazing sense of humour, a contagious laugh and could tell a story like no one else.

As the 10th anniversary of 911 nears, there will be a fl ood of media focus on, and interpretation of, that dark day in world history. There will be volumes writ-ten and scores of analyses.

My own thoughts will be focussed on a sister’s website tribute titled Angel on Our Shoulders, a salute to the memory of a brother lost.

“On September 11, 2001, the terror-ists took something from all Americans; however, Firefi ghter Richie Allen and all of the heroes from that day gave back so much more than the cowards could ever take,” Judy wrote.

“His spirit, his memory and his uncon-ditional love for so many people is alive and thriving in all who knew him and even in those who did not have the privi-lege of knowing this incredible man.”

People like me.As we enter this last long weekend of

summer, savour life, family and friends. They are truly our Heaven on Earth.

Police

ONTARIO PROVINCIAL POLICE

Many Ontarians will be eager to head out for one of their last summer outings this coming Labour Day weekend and the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) know how easily eagerness can translate to careless behaviour, poor judgment and ul-timate tragedy on roads, waterways and trails.

The OPP conducted unprecedented en-forcement over the Victoria Day, Canada Day and Civic Holiday long weekends this year (2011) and despite their ramped up efforts, tragic deaths and serious injuries have continued to make their way into the statistics books over the spring and sum-mer months.

With one summer long weekend left and kids about to start a new school year, the OPP are set to do everything within their means and available resources to keep the year-to-date fatality and injury statistics as low as possible.

The OPP will be highly visible on high-ways, roads, lakes, rivers and trails tar-geting impaired drivers, distracted driv-ers, aggressive drivers, those who are not in compliance with restraint laws.

As a means of encouraging discussion with the public, the OPP has been increas-ing its use of social media to encourage Ontarians to share their views about OPP traffi c safety initiatives and public educa-tion campaigns we undertake to keep our highways and roadways safe.

Posting traffi c safety initiatives and other news on popular social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook about how we keep Ontario safe is fast becoming an integral part of how we do business. It is helping us to be more effective by allow-ing us to reach out directly to the public and address issues or misconceptions while raising awareness and generating public viewpoints and questions about the many laws we enforce.

The OPP encourages the public to sign up and participate in its media discus-sions by following the links to its social media accounts posted on the front page of the OPP website.

“With distracted driving being added to the list of causal factors in prevent-able deaths and injuries, our offi cers have faced as diffi cult a task as ever in enforc-ing laws on our roads, waterways and trails this year,” says OPP Commissioner Chris Lewis.

“Our long weekend enforcement this past year has been as ambitious as ever and we have every intention of carrying this momentum through out and beyond the Labour Day weekend,” he says.

OPP Deputy Commissioner Larry Beechey, Provincial Commander, Traf-fi c Safety and Operational Support also shares his safety message.

“By this time of year, our offi cers have become familiar faces to many Ontar-ians on long weekends and this coming weekend will be no different. The proof that people need to stop endangering the lives of others lies in the hefty number of charges we laid this time last year. With eight tragic deaths and almost 10,000 charges being laid last Labour Day week-end (2010), we know how important it will be to maintain a strong presence through-out the province.”

THE NUMBERS• The OPP has investigated 44,917 re-

portable motor vehicle collisions (MVC) this year on OPP-patrolled roads; an in-crease of 6.3 per cent from the 42,271 for the same time in 2010.

• 192 persons have been killed in MVCs on OPP-patrolled roads; a decrease of 7.2 per cent from the 207 for the same time in 2010.

• 9,049 people have been injured in MVCs on OPP-patrolled roads; a decrease of 3.8 per cent from the 9,405 over 2010.

Say goodbye to summer, not loved ones, this Labour Day weekend

Killaloe OPP Const. Jordan Bullis received a report Aug. 28 that a family with an eight-year-old and a six-month-old was camping at Bark Lake.

The family was attempting to return home, but the water was too rough and their boat had bro-ken down. Const. Lyndon Murray and auxiliary offi cer Glenn Yarascavitch were conducting ma-rine patrols and attended.

All parties were returned safely to land due to the quick actions of the offi cers.

A 21-year-old White Lake man was killed in a single-vehi-cle accident near Waba on the weekend.

Erik Nugent failed to navi-gate a sharp turn at about 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, said Const. Janice Sawbridge of the Ren-frew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police.

Nugent was driving north-bound in a silver four-door Honda and was thrown from the vehicle after losing control.

Police say he was not wear-ing a seatbelt.

Sawbridge said the investi-gating offi cer’s report calls it driver error, and doesn’t cite alcohol as a factor.

Although the road curves at almost a 90 degree angle, Saw-bridge said police won’t recom-mend a stop sign.

“It’s well marked,” she said.Nugent’s mother, Babette,

owns the General Store – a hub in the village of White Lake. She could not be reached for comment.

Seat belts would have saved livesOffi cers with the Renfrew detach-

ment of the Ontario Provincial Police encourage everyone to use the seat belts in their vehicles and prevent senseless and preventable injuries and death.

Local offi cers have attended several collisions this summer alone in which the simple task of buckling up would have saved a life.

Everyone must do their part to en-sure safer roadways by using seat belts ourselves, and encouraging others to do the same.

As we enter the last long weekend of the summer of 2011, let’s all do our part to make it as safe as possible.

Buckling up is about the easiest thing you could do, and it may just save your life.

SCAM ACTIVE IN RENFREW

An old scam involving a supposed bank employee is active in Renfrew and residents need to be cautious.

A victim was contacted last week by a male who pretended to be a bank manager.

He informed the victim that he need-ed their help to investigate tampering with their account at the bank.

The victim was instructed to with-draw funds three separate times and to meet a bank employee at a parking lot in town and turn over the funds.

The funds were supposed to be re-turned to the victim, and when they weren’t the police were contacted.

Don’t be fooled. Banks do not use clients to assist in internal investiga-tions. If you are contacted and urged to withdraw funds and turn that mon-ey over to someone, call the police. Call 1-888-310-1122 to speak to an OPP dispatcher.

If you have received a phone call and you aren’t sure if it was legitimate, call your bank, or discuss the matter with family or a trusted friend.

Do not turn money over to a strang-er; you will not see that money again.

DRUG CHARGE

Offi cers conducting RIDE spot checks in Cobden at midnight on Fri-day night, Aug. 26 found marijuana and drug-traffi cking paraphernalia in a vehicle. Offi cers stopped the car at Highway 17 and Main Street and locat-ed the drugs and a quantity of alcohol in the vehicle.

An 18-year-old Eganville man was charged with being under 19 and pos-sessing alcohol, possessing more than one driver’s licence, driving a motor vehicle with improperly affi xed vali-dation, possession of marijuana, and possession of marijuana for the pur-pose of traffi cking. He was released on an appearance notice for court in Ren-frew on Oct. 12 for the criminal charg-es and a summons for traffi c court in Renfrew on Oct. 28.

Const. Julie Lapointe investigated.

SEXUAL ASSAULT INVESTIGATION

Det.-Const. Lori Birmingham is in-vestigating after a complainant con-tacted the OPP to report an historical sexual assault.

Renfrew OPP Const. Darin Chaplin and marine summer student Brittany Falls will be out on local waterways this weekend, as they have been throughout the summer.

OPP’s marine checks to continue past Labour Day

STEVE NEWMAN

[email protected]

Boating safety will continue to be enforced, as the summer draws to a close, through the Renfrew OPP detachment’s ma-rine patrols.

This summer Const. Darin Chaplin has been busy patrolling local waterways with the help of the local OPP marine summer student, Brittany Falls of Carp.

With Labour Day weekend upon us, Const. Chaplin says the OPP marine patrols will take a zero-tolerance approach to drink-ing alcoholic beverages aboard marine vessels and the use of life-jackets. Alcoholic beverages are permitted to be on board, if suitably stored and not open.

Flotation devices must be on board for each occupant of a vessel. And if they’re infl atable models they must actually be worn by the user.

Vessels are also required to have on board a marine safety kit. A kit often includes matches, a fl are, rope, whistle and fl ash-light. The operator of any mo-

torized vessel must also have his or her operator’s permit on board. This summer the Renfrew OPP detachment has been doing four 10-hour patrols each week on local waterways.

Depending on the quality of weather, they will continue into October with the detachment’s 19.5-foot, 150-horsepower boat Harber Craft.

Operators and fellow occu-pants must also adhere to other regulations outlined in the Safe Boating Guide, published by Transport Canada. These in-clude the regulation that youth under the age of 16, whether su-pervised or not, require a proof of competency to operate any motorized marine vessel.

Certain exceptions do apply. For example, a child under age 12 may operate a boat with up to 10 horsepower (or 7.5 kW). Chil-dren under 16 may not operate a personal watercraft, such as jet skis, wave runners and Sea-Doos.

For more details about regula-tions, visit www.boatingsafety.gc.ca.

Always drive with

caution and

obey the rules of

the road.

Take driving more seriously, says OPPThe Renfrew detachment of

the OPP has investigated several collisions this summer where driver error has been the cause. The OPP encourages drivers to refocus their attention on driv-ing when behind the wheel, and nothing else.

Many drivers have become cavalier with their driving and multi-tasking. Driving is a skill

which requires the driver’s full attention. Driver error often re-sults in no consequence; you hit the shoulder and correct. But driver error can sometimes re-sult in fatal consequences.

Drifting into oncoming traffi c while reaching for something can take your life or someone’s else’s. Drive carefuly and you’ll drive again tomorrow.

EDITORIAL

Another warning has been issued. Renfrew Coun-ty residents, especially those in rural areas, are run-ning a higher risk of heart disease and stroke.

Late Tuesday afternoon the Champlain Cardiovas-cular Disease Prevention Network sent out a news release with some scary fi ndings.

The Atlas of Cardiovascular Health in the Cham-plain Region 2011 is the fourth in a series designed to give an up-to-date snapshot of the heart health of Champlain residents.

The Atlas made fi ve key fi ndings.• There continues to be a disparity between urban

and rural populations. Renfrew County, counties in Eastern Ontario (particularly Prescott and Rus-sell), and Leeds, Grenville and Lanark are known “hot spots” for cardiovascular disease, with higher morbidity and mortality than rates for the city of Ot-tawa, the province, and Canada.

• Rates for most risk factors are lower than the na-tional average among residents of Ottawa, but are generally higher than the national average among people in the same rural areas – particularly for dia-betes, overweight and obesity, and smoking. Exam-ple – for the risk factor of smoking, only 9.4% of the population in Ottawa indicate they are daily smok-ers, compared with 15.6% in Canada, 20.7% in East-ern Ontario, 21.1% in Leeds, Grenville and Lanark, and 22.4% in Renfrew County.

• The Atlas reports a decrease in second-hand ex-posure to smoking in the region, which the CCPN at-tributes largely to education and public policies in recent years.

• Heart attacks, strokes, and other issues related to cardiovascular disease are a major cause of hospital-ization in the region, accounting for 12 per cent of all admissions. Cardiovascular disease affects not only the lives of individuals and their families but also puts tremendous strain on the health care system.

• While the hospitalization and mortality rates from cardiovascular disease show a gradual decline overall in the Champlain Region, the CCPN projects a greater number of cases of heart disease and stroke in the future as a result of the aging population.

As a result, efforts will be made to provide citizens with a variety of disease-prevention programs, from smoking cessation to healthy eating.

Take the message to heart. It could save yours.

Take heartLETTER TO THE EDITOR

To the editor:The coverage on the issues

facing the home care sector was excellent.

It would seem, however, that I was out of date with my fi g-ures on Renfrew County.

Several of my personal sup-port worker (PSW) friends have contacted me to say that almost 40 per cent of them work full time with some benefi ts and most get mileage after their fi rst visit of the day.

I do apologize to them for not checking the information I got from Toronto.

The work they do is crucial to help the disabled and elderly remain in their own homes and we are lucky to have some in-credibly dedicated workers in our area.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Hiking park good use of CP lineTo the editor:

Suggestions have been made pertain-ing to the future use of the lands along the abandoned rail lines. I wish to add another: Turn it into a hiking park, the longest hiking/snowshoeing park in the world, set in a strip of primarily native trees and plants.

While vehicle buffs may be lobbying for the space, I believe that using the rail lands for a snowmobile/motorcycle trail would be a mistake.

A hiking/snowshoeing trail within a park full of native trees would promote a healthy form of recreation as well as improve the environment and create a reservoir of native plant genetics. A walking park would not require speed signs or special maintenance to handle vehicular traffi c loads.

Hikers would be far less likely to cause accidents at road crossings and pedes-trian crossings that intersect the park. And property owners adjacent to the park would suffer far less noise pollu-tion if the trail was reserved for hiking

and snowshoeing, which, in turn, would benefi t property values.

There are people who would cross oceans or continents to hike the world’s longest park, just to have the bragging rights. And snowshoeing could provide a truly Canadian tourist experience in winter. Perhaps cross-country skiers could use the trail, as well. As a result, businesses along the trail offering food, lodging and sport gear would benefi t. And tourist pamphlets at such business-es could promote other attractions as well.

Further, native and other hardy fruit trees along the sunny edges would add to the tourist value of the park with blos-som festivals in spring and fruit festivals in fall.

I believe the benefi ts of reserving the rail lands for foot-bound recreation would far outweigh the benefi ts of add-ing new snowmobile trails.

Yours truly,Allison Azulay

Hello, Ila and Jim:Yesterday, my wife and I were

walking on the Millennium Trail west of where it meets Gillan Road. I was watching some cedar waxwings high in a tree, when I noticed a bird on the same tree. It had a bright yellow breast, a thick black beak, dark head, and a darker, almost black, patch around the eye with a light-co-loured bar above. The back and wings looked olive green-brown in the sunlight. My wife noticed some more of these birds in the bushes nearby, and we believe that there were at least fi ve of them.

About 45 minutes later we saw three similar birds. One had a yel-low breast and olive-brown back, but the facial colours were less clear, presumably because it was a female or juvenile bird.

After consulting the Internet and our bird guides we concluded that the birds were yellow-breast-ed chats. It appears that Renfrew is well north of the expected range for these birds, although the refer-ences provided by the ministry are no more recent than 1995.

Cedric and Ruth Wright

As you mentioned, these birds were well north of their expected range. However, they have been slowly expanding northward in recent years.

A RARE ONE

Hi, Jim and Ila:Ken and I were fortunate to see

what we thought was a rare sight-ing. We knew it was a woodpecker but we didn’t know which species. It had a very bright and solid red head, but it wasn’t big enough to be a pileated woodpecker.

When we searched our bird book we found it to be the red-headed woodpecker. We’ve never seen one before. It arrived on Monday, August 22nd landed on a hydro pole and stayed around un-til mid morning of the next day. We hope to see it again!

Pat and Ken Forest

Pat and Ken: This woodpecker is indeed “a rare bird.” The arriv-al of European starlings in our area has pushed the red-headed woodpecker almost to extinction. The starlings arrive early in the spring (some stay all winter) and take all the best nests sites, leav-ing the woodpeckers without.

COMMON YELLOWTHROAT

Hi, Jim and Ila: I was pleased to see a common

yellowthroat at the Holy Well this week.

It was either a female or an im-mature bird, for it had no black mask. However, there was no mis-taking what it was because this

pretty little bird, with its bright yellow breast, was skulking low down among the weeds and cardi-nal fl owers at the edge of Constant Creek. The American bitterns are at it again, standing beside the road with their beaks pointing to the sky. It seems a dangerous place to take a rest when there are cars passing constantly.

Carol McCuaig

COMMON NIGHT HAWKS

Hello, Jim and Ila: In the past two weeks we have

seen several night hawks in Ren-frew (Victoria Park area). The wing shape and white bars on the wings are very distinctive. I have not seen a night hawk for many years so it was nice to see several at one time. One evening at least seven were seen dipping and div-ing in search of insects.

Simon Terry

Indeed, it is good to hear and see them.

SANDHILL CRANES

Hi, Jim and Ila: I live on the western edge of the

fl at farm land west of the Bon-nechere River (west of the Deacon Escarpment). For the past couple of weeks a pair of Sandhill cranes has been coming into the hay fi eld at the edge of our property. They make the weirdest noises!

We saw a pair of sandhill cranes here a few years ago but they didn’t come back for several years.

Peter Hayes

Peter: The cranes have been regular residents for the past 10 years. They are a welcome addi-tion to our bird population.

AN INJURED GOLDFINCH

Rita Lafrance had an imma-ture goldfi nch strike her patio door. She said the bird lay on its side and did not move. She went out and placed it on the deck rail-ing. It recovered and fl ew away in about 20 minutes.

The best way to help birds that strike our windows is to keep them protected from predators. Or, if you can catch them, hold them in your hands to keep them warm. If they are not too badly injured they will recover and fl y away.

Sgt. Danny Mulligan, who fl ies this new $6.5 million EC-135 helicopter for the OPP, speaks to a group of Aboriginal youth. The youngsters were full of questions about the high-tech fl ying machine during the Niigan Mosewak summer camp at Camp Smitty.

CommunityDon’t miss Matawatchan’s Sunday (Sept. 4) supper at St. Andrew’s United Church.Walking Forward with aboriginal youth

STEVE NEWMAN

[email protected]

Several youngsters from near-by Pikwakanagan were among 32 Aboriginal youth participating in the Niigan Mosewak summer camp at Camp Smitty, just outside Eganville, last week.

Counsellors from the Ottawa Boys and Girls Club and the On-tario Provincial Police were part of the third annual camp. Atten-dance was up from last year’s 24 youth participants, and efforts are underway to bring that num-ber closer to 40 next time around.

“Just being the third year, we’re trying to increase the num-bers,” said camp director Jerry Novack.

Niigan Mosewak, the Ojibway words for Walking Forward, is a summer camp hosted by the OPP East Region Provincial Liaison Team for aboriginal youth ages 11 to 15.

The focus is on First Nation teachings, team building, sports and other camp activities.

Other activities include cap-ture the fl ag, swimming and ca-noeing.

A major goal of the camp is to foster positive relationships be-tween Aboriginal youth and po-lice while encouraging the young-sters to become role models and leaders in their communities.

During an open house for the media and members of the public Aug. 25, several OPP offi cers were among the instructors on hand sharing their expertise and ideas with the youngsters.

One presentation was about drug use and the products used by drug users; another was on lacrosse; another on use of a par-ticular machine-gun in hostage rescues.

Guns can evoke signs of vio-lence and bloodshed. But Const. Sylvain Sabourin of the East Region Tactics and Rescue Unit said during his informal talk about using a C-8 CQB machine-gun that the goal in hostage res-cue and similar emergencies is always peace and resolution, not death. Such talks, he said, were an opportunity for OPP officers to provide exposure and aware-ness for the youngsters.

At the same talk, the youth had an opportunity to view an OPP recruitment video played on a computer laptop while other youngsters spoke to the officer with their own questions.

Jeliel Sarazin of Pikwakana-gan was among the youngsters who was impressed by what he saw at the camp. He said he had a good time, partly because he was getting answers to several of his questions.

“It’s fun, with all the activities they have,” she said.

OPP offi cers on site also ex-pressed satisfaction with the content and direction of the camp.

OPP Deputy Commissioner Vince Hawkes of Orillia said Ni-igan Mosewak is among several such camps run in the province under the auspices of the OPP.

“This is my fi rst opportunity to see how this camp operates, and we’re very, very impressed with the kids – the smiles, the

cooperation.“It just reinforces that we’re

headed in the right direction in investing in our aboriginal

youth.”Several youth, for example,

were fascinated by the presen-tation of Sgt. Danny Mulligan,

the pilot of one of the OPP’s two new $6.5 million EC-135 helicop-ters. His talk included a ques-tion-and-answer session.

The helicopters are stationed out of Sudbury and Orillia, with two-thirds of their activites in-volving search-and-rescue.

Cub GM’s success plan cut shortYou often hear a newly-hired

coach or general manager say, “Give me fi ve years; and I’ll build you a winner.”

Jim Hendry was let go last week as GM of the Chicago Cubs. He still had a couple of years left in his 105-year plan.

Hall Home for Thome: Since hitting his 600th home run (he also clubbed No. 599 in the same game), the debate is on.

Should Jim Thome be in the Baseball Hall of Fame?

Detractors – believe it or not, there are some – say he hasn’t won many awards or all-star se-lections over the years, and has been strictly a designated hitter in recent times.

My argument for Hall of

Fame induction: He’s got 602 home runs, and is still going.

He’s in eighth place all-time in round-trippers.

Of the seven guys ahead of him, only four have never been linked to steroids.

That makes Thome fi fth among non-performance en-hancement guys.

He’s in: First ballot.

Sounds fi shy: From the someone has too much time on their hands department, Mike Carp of the Seattle Mariners had a 20-game hitting streak

snapped last week. Not bad. But it was noted, he shares the aquatic lead in that department. Retired players Tim Salmon and Kevin Bass also had a 20-game hitting streak during their careers.

Times are tough: With the NBA on the possible verge of losing the 2011-12 season, or at least a part of it, Delonte West of the Boston Celtics has ap-plied for a job at Home Depot.

The $14 million he has earned playing basketball has run out.

* * * For this week: Without check-

ing the list, name the four play-ers not linked to steroids ahead of Jim Thome in career Major League Baseball home runs.

Local Community Living cli-ents enjoyed time on the water through the SkiAbility Ottawa Program in Burnstown Aug. 7.

The group took to the Mada-waska River for a day of water-skiing.

The SkiAbility Ottawa Pro-gram uses various types of adaptive equipment and teach-ing techniques to ensure par-ticipant success. The boats are equipped with a ski boom to optimize learning and training. The participant may choose, depending on ability, sit-skiing, stand-up skiing, wakeboard or barefoot.

SkiAbility is under the direc-tion of head instructor Ross Holden.

SkiAbility Ottawa got its start in 1993 as an ad-hoc program, In 1995, when Water Ski and Wakeboard Canada launched SkiAbility, they joined the na-tional movement and adopted the name SkiAbility Ottawa.

The program provides a safe, fun, successful learning experi-ence for all persons with a dis-ability regardless of their pre-vious watersport experiences. “Age and disability are not limi-tations. They merely change the approach to the sport,” SkiAbil-ity notes on its website.

“At SkiAbility Ottawa we be-

lieve in adapting the equipment to the skier, not adapting the skier to the equipment,” they add.

Dave Kenopic of Community Living Renfrew County South said everyone got into the wa-terskiing spirit at Burnstown.

“The SkiAbility Ottawa Water Ski Program proved once again that anyone wishing to waterski ... can water ski!” Kenopic said.

“SkiAbility volunteers and instructors arrived at the Burn-stown Beach rowing dock early Sunday (Aug. 7) morning. They brought with them a wealth of experience, knowledge and good humour along with a superfast ski boat and a trailer full of adapt water ski equipment.”

Attendance jumped quite a bit from last year, he added.

“Twelve people supported by Community Living Renfrew County South completed suc-cessful ski runs on the Mada-waska River thanks to the ex-perience and enthusiasm of the SkiAbility crew. Last year, we had fi ve people,” Kenopic said.

The program emphasizes the ‘ability’ in disability and aims to remove the various barriers to this great summer activity, the SkiAbility Ottawa website added. SkiAbility is an initiative of Water Ski and Wakeboard Canada.

THE 20th ANNUAL CONSTANT LAKECLASSIC BASS TOURNAMENT

JULY 30, 2011

Sports

Father-son combo wins Constant Lake ClassicPETER CLARK

[email protected]

The father and son team of Mark and Tanton Landriault emerged as the top anglers at this year’s Constant Lake Classic Bass Tournament July 30.

The winners combined to reel in fi ve bass which totalled more than 19 pounds. The winning team is declared by the combined weight of fi ve fi sh.

The popular event – organized by Tom Hyland of Dagenais Construc-tion – is headquartered annually at the Butler Cottage on Constant Lake.

This year’s event marked a mile-stone as it was the 20th annual tourna-ment.

The Landriaults’ 19 pounds exceed-ed the weigh-in of brother duo of Jeff and Steven Barber, who were victori-ous with 17 pounds last year, and 18

pounds the year before.Kenneth Dagenais and Mitchell Ros-

sit, who caught the fi sh, brought in the biggest bass which tipped the scales at more than fi ve pounds.

The 2011 classic drew 39 teams.All competitors complied with feder-

al and provincial boating and angling rules, and only large- and smallmouth bass were eligible to be weighed in. It was catch and release of all fi sh.

Mitchell Rossit, left, and Ken Dagenais hoist four of their fi ve fi sh at the 20th annual Constant Lake Classic Bass Tournament. The fi ve-pound bass, second from left caught by Rossit, was the largest fi sh caught.

Tanton Landriault and dad, Mark, hold the Constant Lake championship trophy after combining to land fi ve fi sh totalling more than 19 pounds.

Getting an Edge for 2011-12Staff at the Ma-Te-Way Activ-

ity Centre put the ice in, and Olympic Edge started things off for the 2011-12 season with a week-long summer hockey camp Aug. 22 to 26 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.

Sixty children from the Ot-tawa Valley, ranging from novice to major bantam, gathered to im-prove their hockey skills under

the direction of Olympic Edge owner and operator Tony Iob, Kip Mulvihill and goaltender coach Mavric Parks.

The children enjoyed three hours of intense on-ice training combined daily with three hours of off-ice conditioning.

18th Rafuse golf tournament Sept. 17

It’s for a great cause, and it’s still not too late to sign up.

End your 2011 golf season by taking par in the 18th annual Laurel Rafuse Memorial Golf Tournament.

The event takes place Saturday, Sept. 17, at the Renfrew Golf Club.

Funds from the Laurel Rafuse Memorial Trust provide support for summer and March break activities for children and youth with de-velopmental disabilities.

To fi eld a team, sponsor a hole or donate a prize, call Ann Blimkie at Community Living Renfrew County South, 613-432-6763.

From Page 13Three medals came

in cross-country run-ning and three in track and fi eld. His most re-cent medal was bronze last June with a per-sonal best time of eight minutes 24 seconds for 3,000 metres.

Woodfi ne intention-ally bulked up this year, from about 140 to 150 pounds, to improve his swimming and bik-ing. “I haven’t found it has (negatively) affect-ed my running, and my biking and swimming have improved signifi -cantly,” he says.

During heavy train-ing last spring, the Cob-den teenager’s heaviest weeks entailed total swim workouts of 40 kilometres, total run-ning workouts of 60 kilometres, and biking three or four times a week, including two-hour rides of up to 70 kilometres.

Woodfi ne is off to the University of Guelph this fall to study crimi-nal justice and public policy, but he’s also gunning for a lengthy career in the triathlon.

“I defi nitely want to go to the Olympic Games and hopefully podium there,” he says quietly. “That’s every-one’s dream if they compete at a high level. Hopefully I’ll make a

career out of it (triath-lon).”

Woodfi ne leaves Sun-day for China, where he hopes to be a medallist.

“With international competition, there’s a lot of guys swimming my speed, so if it ends up like that, it gives me a shot because I’m one of the faster runners,” says Woodfi ne.

“I hope to get some experience and get out among the fastest in the water, and give it my best shot.”

The junior distances are 750 metres for the swim, a 20-km bike and fi ve-kilometre run.

Woodfi ne’s goals are realistic, says his coach, Greg Kealey of the Bytown Storm Tri-athlon Club.

“I defi nitely think so … He defi nitely has the desire and the plan.

For his level it’s not trying to be fi rst out of the water, but con-serving energy in the second group and get-ting on the bike and taking control of the bike pack. “If he can succeed in the fi rst two disciplines, he sets himself up for a really good opportunity. He’s defi nitely got more than a better chance to place in the top three or top fi ve.”

Woodfi ne also has another year of junior eligibility remaining, in 2012.

The Renfrew Timber-wolves have been busy as they prepare for the up-coming Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League season and defence of their Valley Division championship. As with any team, changes hap-pen throughout the off season, and the Renfrew club is no exception.

One thing that won’t change is the Wolves’ winning bench combi-nation from last season.

Tony Iob returns be-hind the bench to begin what will be his fi rst full season with the club. He is joined by assistants Kip Mulvihill and Der-ek Scheuneman.

With a couple of play-ers from last year’s squad leaving for school, it put Wolves’ general manager Brent Sylves-ter in a mood to make some trades for the bet-terment of all parties involved.

The GM made three deals in a matter of days,

fi rst sending defence-man Ryan Lepine and future considerations to the Stittsville Royals in exchange for 17-year-old Justin Farrell.

Lepine will be able to suit up for the Royals while going to school in Ottawa.

Veteran blueliner Erik Mask of Renfrew will be attending school in Kingston and has been moved to the near-by Westport Rideaus of the Rideau-St. Lawrence Conference.

Westport also receives a 16-year-old card for the 2012-13 season while Renfrew gets Brock Jes-sop and a 16-year-old card for this year.

Jessop had 39 points in 42 games in his rook-ie season in Westport.

The Wolves then pulled off a three-for-one deal, getting back Renfrew native Jimmy MacMillan.

Also coming Ren-frew’s way in the trade from the Perth Blue Wings are Mark Vran-denburg and Ryan

Dube.Perth receives the

playing rights to Ethan Allard.

Perth had acquired MacMillan’s rights from the Pontiac Juniors in an earlier trade.

Allard has since been traded to Shawville.

On the ice, Wolves training camp is under-way at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

It started with ses-sions Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, and continues to-night from 8 to 10 p.m.

The Wolves have two Tuesday night pre-season home games scheduled.

The Stittsville Royals supply the opposition on Sept. 6, while the Al-monte Thunder comes calling Sept. 13. Both games are 8 p.m. starts.

The Wolves are in

Stittsville Sept. 7.The Wolves open reg-

ular season play on the weekend of Sept. 16-18 when all of the league’s 22 teams will take to the ice in Kemptville for the second annual EOJHL Fall Classic.

Each Metro-Valley squad meets two oppo-nents from the Rideau-St. Lawrence Confer-ence.

The Wolves open up against the Alexandria Glens in a 10:30 a.m. contest on the Saturday, and then take on the Char-Lan Rebels Sun-day, Sept. 18 at 2 p.m.

The Wolves host the Arnprior Packers in Renfrew’s home opener at the MAC at 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23.

It’s a rematch of last spring’s Valley Division final, won by the Wolves in five games.

Back-to-back for T. WilliamsPETER CLARK

[email protected]

T. Williams Plumbing & Heat-ing displayed the form that made them 2010 Ma-Te-Way Mixed Slo Pitch League champions one year ago. The defending league title winners cruised through the 2011 regular-season with only one defeat.

They were equally effective in the playoffs, reeling off eight wins against a single loss to keep the championship hardware. After coming back from an early four-run deficit to win the 2011 best-of-five championship series curtain raiser by a 14-9 count Aug. 16, the plumbing shop pulled the plug on Deslaurier Custom Cabinets with a 21-3, 17-9 doubleheader sweep to wrap up their second consecutive league title Aug. 23.

Matt Stewart pitched all three wins in the series for T. Williams, and clubbed a home run and four hits in the opening game of the championship- clinching double-header. Sean O’Reilly also had four hits and a home run, and Frank Visneskie three hits and a round-tripper for T. Williams. Hillary MacMillan also collected four hits.

Visneskie capped off a five-run first inning with a three-run dinger in the nightcap.

Landin Miller also went deep with two teammates aboard in the third frame as T. Williams put the final game away in a hurry.

MacMillan added five hits and scored four runs to complete a nine-hit doubleheader. Lindsay Wall chipped in with three hits and scored all three times.

Paul Martin handled pitching duties for Deslaurier’s. Brett Gil-christ homered in both games while Dave Fisher and Trevor Lacroix added the long ball in the final game.

Supporters of both teams were pretty vocal throughout, but none more than T. Williams’ number-one playoff fan Cheryl Lyons, who came equipped with a horn and a clapper.

Ramble to showcase Valley over four weekendsThe 2011 Rural Ramble in the Otta-

wa Valley is getting ready to celebrate rural living. Showcasing four week-ends of exploration, agriculture, his-tory and arts, this year’s event begins Sept. 10 and runs every weekend until Oct. 2.

Organized by the Ottawa Valley Tourist Association (OVTA), the Rural Ramble is a free, self-guided driving tour set against a backdrop of beauti-ful fall colours.

This year’s event will showcase many natural and human-built won-ders of the region, the various agricul-tural and rural operations of the sce-nic countryside, the rich history and heritage of Ottawa Valley residents, as well as the area’s vibrant arts and cultural communities.

“This is the second year with the new extended Rural Ramble format, and we are pleased to see so many new sites participating,” noted Lauren Mc-Illfaterick, OVTA Communications Coordinator.

“The 2011 Rural Ramble promises to be exciting with more sites, new prizes and contests, and no admission fee to the public.”

Each year, more than 2,000 visitors fl ock to Renfrew County to enjoy the fresh air and glorious fall colours while experiencing some of the best of what the Ottawa Valley has to offer. With an unprecedented 41 sites partic-

ipating this year, there are lots of new things to see and do, including, feed the chickens, pot-bellied pigs, goats and buffalo at Pinto Valley Ranch; en-joy steam engine corn on the cob at Renfrew’s McDougall Mill Museum; observe the history of plowing, from horse drawn to tractor, at the Renfrew County Plowing Match; take home a free Whitewater Premium Candle Company pumpkin souffl é tea light from Simple Things; discover the sto-ry behind Canada’s only Feudal Lord at Waba Cottage Museum & Gardens; learn dog tricks and enjoy agility dem-onstrations at Cricket’s Canine Coun-try Club; immerse yourself in Celtic Culture at Kippen Road Tartan Weav-ing; and participate in creative tie-dye and poetry workshops with Rri-joice Tie Dyes and Literacy Plus at the Bon-nechere Caves.

Some of the returning favourites on the Rural Ramble are the Peruvian alpacas at Ballintotas Alpacas – soap making demonstrations at Opeongo Mountain Meadow Soap, Art on the Beach at the Moose on the Beach Res-taurant, blacksmith demonstrations at Arnprior Museum, and maple syrup making at Mapleside Sugar Bush.

An exciting addition to the 2011 event is the Rural Ramble passport. Rural Ramble passports are included in the event guide.

Ramblers are encouraged to fi ll out

the passport with a signature from a staff member or volunteer at each site they visit. Completed passports can be dropped off at the last site visited each weekend and they will be entered into a draw for a prize pack featuring unique gifts from participating Rural Ramble sites and valued at over $500.

The passports also include a spot for Ramblers to vote for their favourite Rural Ramble site. The site with the most votes (one per weekend) will be named Rural Rambler’s Choice.

“The passport and the Rambler’s Choice Awards are fun examples of ways event organizers are working to keep the annual festival fresh and new,” said McIllfaterick.

This year’s event is free to the public which means there are no bracelets to buy, however fees may apply for certain activities (refer to the offi cial event guide for further details). A distribu-tion list of where Rural Ramble event guides can be picked up is available on the Rural Ramble Facebook Page www.facebook.com/ruralramble.

Tim Getz with his family, from left, Ethan (6), wife Nicole, Marissa (21 months) and Raina (4).

Walk for Tim Getz Oct. 1 at manorPETER CLARK

[email protected]

An employee of Bonnechere Manor needs your support.

Tim Getz of Pembroke, mar-ried with three young children, was diagnosed with Crohn’s dis-ease in January 2011.

He had emergency bowel sur-gery in March and endured an extended stay in hospital be-cause of unforeseen medical complications.

Getz is a full-time RPN (reg-

istered practical nurse) at Bon-nechere Manor, where he has worked for fi ve years. He is ex-pected to be off for an extended period of time and has exhaust-ed all his sick leave.

To help Getz, co-workers and friends have organized a fi ve-ki-lometre run/walk Saturday, Oct. 1 at Bonnechere Manor at 10 a.m. The event is being organized by Sonya Lepine (613-433-1644), Ni-cole Papousek (613-433-9339) and Amie Guthro (613-432--0239).

They can be contacted prior

to Oct. 1 to register or for more information.

“The walk goes from the man-or, down Albert Street and out to Highway 60,” Lepine says. “We’ll do a loop at Cotieville and come back to the auditorium at the Bonnechere Manor.

“Then afterwards, we’ll have a benefi t barbecue.”

The event will run, rain or shine, with the barbecue being moved inside to the auditorium should it rain.

Cobden bike ride raises $1,000 for CHEO

PETER CLARK

[email protected]

Pembroke’s David Bowles had some tough luck earlier this year organizing chari-table motorcycle rides, as on four occasions rain stood in his way.

But even with the pos-sible threat of the remnants of Hurricane Irene lurking somewhere in the distance, Bowles had nothing to worry about Saturday morning.

The Masonic Lodge 459 Cobden Ride for the CHEO (Children’s Hospital of East-ern Ontario) Foundation went off without a hitch. Mother Nature provided nothing but sunny skies to greet the participants in Cobden Saturday morning.

The eighth annual ride brought in about $1,000 for the cause, and considering a smaller turnout than some rides can boast, the Bowles were very pleased.

“We had about 40 bikes and about 65 generous par-ticipants who show up every time,” he said.

Bowles thanked the nearly 20 sponsors for their support in the CHEO Ride, as well as The Renfrew Mercury, Pem-broke Daily Observer and Cobden Sun for promoting the event.

Riders came from through-out the Valley, including Pet-awawa, Pembroke, Killaloe, Arnprior, Ottawa, Orleans, Kanata, and points in be-tween.

Among them were Paul and Sheryl Boese of Haley Station aboard their 1984 Yamaha.

“We just got it (the bike) a month ago,” Sheryl pointed out, to which Paul was quick to add with a grin, “We have a 900-cc Honda for sale.”

“This is the fi rst time we’ve done this,” Paul said of the motorcycle ride, which cov-ered the hills of Wilno and beyond before returning to its starting point for a chili dinner, 50-50 draw and door prizes.

Thain Patterson of Pet-awawa won the grand prize, an all-day fi shing trip on the Ottawa River for three people with everything in-cluded.

The prize was sponsored by Ron Ferguson of Castl-eford.

Second-prize winner Adele Coulas won a rod and reel, and Phil Ciphery received $80 for his 50-50 draw win.

Paul and Sheryl Boese are all ready to give their support and participation in the Cobden Masonic Lodge Ride for the CHEO Foundation.

David Bowles leads the Masonic Lodge Ride for CHEO down Astrolabe Street in Cobden Saturday morning. About 65 participants on 40 bikes attended the eighth-annual event in beautiful weather conditions, and raised $1,000 for the cause. Mercury photos by Peter Clark

Education

STEVE NEWMAN

[email protected]

Entering the new school year, there are several changes on the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board’s leader-ship team.

One of them is Derek Lennox, who has moved into the vice-principal’s position at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School.

It’s familiar territory for the Renfrew resident, who spent the last three and a half years as vice-principal of Bishop Smith Catholic High School in Pem-broke.

Lennox has worked for the board since 1997, when he joined the staff at St. Jo-seph’s to teach mathematics.

In more than 10 years at the Renfrew high school, he taught business, physics, tech and religion, and served as depart-ment head for math, business and tech.

A straightforward relationship with students is a key part of his educational philosophy.

“Just be open and honest with the kids,” explained Lennox.

“The more open and honest you can be with them, the more open and honest they can be with you.”

Lennox, an avid Montreal Canadiens fan who also loves playing the nation-al game, is married to Stephanie, who teaches at St. Thomas the Apostle Catho-

lic School.They have two children, Alexandra, 7,

and Duncan, 5.

NEW VICE-PRINCIPAL

One of the newest members of the school board’s leadership team is Mau-reen Enright of Douglas.

She is the new vice-principal of St. James and St. Casimir’s Catholic elemen-tary schools in Eganville and Round Lake respectively.

This is Enright’s fi rst administrative posting with the board, which she joined in 2000.

After receiving a Bachelor of Educa-tion and a Bachelor of Arts in sociology at Nipissing University in 2000, Enright came on board as a special education re-source teacher at St. Thomas the Apostle School.

In 2008, she moved to St. James School to teach junior kindergarten and kinder-garten.

Enright has continued to increase her educational qualifi cations over the years, earning a religious education specialist certifi cate in 2003 and her special educa-tion specialist certifi cate in 2007.

In September 2010, she participated in principal designate training and worked as principal designate at St. James and St. Thomas the Apostle schools.

As previously announced, Mark Searson is taking over as prin-cipal of Bishop Smith Catholic High School. Searson, who joined the board in 2001, had been prin-cipal at St. Joseph’s High School since 2008.

His successor is Brennan Train-or, who has been St. Joseph’s vice-principal since February 2008.

Trainor has held several lead-ership positions since joining the school board in 1998.

The other leadership team change is Dave Noble. He leaves his post as vice-principal at St. James to become vice-principal at Bishop Smith.

Try out an eReader during Greater Madawaska Public Library’s eReader DaysSHARON SHALLA

Greater Madawaska Public Library

Have you been curious to see what it’s like to view an electron-ic book on an eReader?

Greater Madawaska Public Li-brary can help satisfy that curios-ity.

Our library has been very for-tunate to receive 5 Sony PRS-350 eReaders on loan from the Ontar-io Library Association through their Technology Lending Li-brary program.

Samples of electronic books have been downloaded on the eReaders for you to view and try out the various features includ-ing increasing and reducing the print size, and bookmarking. We’ve scheduled Sept. 1 to 7 as eReader Days at the library, so be sure to drop in.

As the popularity and availabil-ity of eBooks and digital media continues to grow, a fl ood of new eBook readers and tablets are en-tering the market. I won’t get into comparisons of eReaders here.

However, I have printed off some helpful sheets that may help you with your purchase, so pick one up when you drop into the library.

Now to the best part – how can you get these free books from our library?

We are part of a group of li-braries that have been provided funding from the Ministry of Cul-ture and Tourism until the end of December 2011 for OverDrive, which allows our patrons free electronic books and audiobooks through our website.

Electronic books can be viewed on your computer or transferred to an eReader.

The audiobooks can be listened to on your computer or download-ed to a portable device such as an MP3 player.

Just visit our website at http://www.townshipofgreatermada-waska.com/library/ and click on the “download audiobooks and eBooks powered by OverDrive” on our Home page.

You can view the collection without logging in, but if you do want to download an item you will have to enter your library card.

Instructions for logging in are provided on the library’s Home page of the website. Residents of Greater Madawaska Township can get a free library member-ship.

In my opinion, there will al-ways be an interest and a need for the print version of books.

I, for one, enjoy snuggling up indoors with a good book in my hand on a stormy winter day, but it’s hard to ignore the popularity of electronic books as one more option.

An eReader is very convenient for travelling and won’t add the extra weight to your luggage like print books do.

It’s also very popular with com-

muters who spend time as a pas-senger. Instead of staring out the window...you can be reading your favourite electronic book.

Mark Sept. 1 to 7 on your calen-dar as eReaders Days at Greater Madawaska Public Library, 4984 Calabogie Road in Calabogie.

We are located on the lower level of the municipal offi ce building.

Our parking is convenient,

and located just outside the li-brary entrance door.

For more information call 613-752-2317.

walk starts at 9 a.m. Peo-ple can also register in advance. The cost is $10.

“Tim’s a good guy and deserves the support,” Papousek said.

“His kids are two, four and six. The Calvary Pentecostal Church is doing a food drive for the kids. The youngest has a chronic illness and can only eat certain foods,” Papousek added.

The young child trav-els to CHEO on a weekly basis. Getz’s wife Nicole has been dividing her time between home, looking after the family, and going to the hospi-tal.

“We are looking for people (businesses or individuals) to sponsor a kilometre sign (at the walk) for $100, They will have their logo on the sign,” Papousek said.

Organizers also plan to run a door-to-door fundraising campaign

soon.Papousek said Getz ap-

preciates all the support he has been receiving.

“He just got out of the hospital yesterday (Aug. 25),” Lepine noted. “He’s so grateful for the sup-port.”

Lepine adds, if you can’t be in the walk, you’re still welcome to enjoy the barbecue for $5. “Anybody can par-ticipate (in the walk),” she stresses. “They just need to contact us before (Oct. 1).”

Getz MILITARY TRAINING

There was a military pres-ence in Douglas about 6 p.m. Monday as a tank sat in the shade and soldiers walked along Stone Road. But no fear, it was only training, and the tank and soldiers were scheduled to leave shortly after this photo was taken. The next morning military vehicles were once again seen driv-ing through the village.

Catch Night Fever

Frank Chiarelli could be described as the con-summate entertainer.

His career spans over 40 years, performing on cruise ships, and at resorts and night clubs in every major capital of the world.

Some of Chiarelli’s favourite years in entertain-ing were the late-1960s with the resurgence of the fi ve-part-harmony groups such as The Beach Boys, The Eagles, The Lettermen, The Tokens and, of course, The 4 Seasons.

Chiarelli went on to front well known bands in New York City such as The Freethinkers, The Rock-ing Royals and The Entertainers who did a guest appearance on the Mike Douglas Show.

Renfrew Fair

Night fever, from Canada, will take you back to the sounds and the look of one of the greatest pop bands in history, the Bee Gees.

Their musical journey travels fi ve decades with over 30 hit songs.

Night Fever performs all the hits from the early years to the disco era, from To Love Somebody and Jive Talking to You Should Be Dancing and Stayin’ Alive.

One website says the close high harmonies of brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb have made the Bee Gees one of the most impossible attractions in music to launch a tribute to... until Night Fever.

“The vocal match of this tribute band creates an eerie sense of seeing the Gibb brothers in concert. Night Fever is the largest production of the Bee Gees in the world,” the site says.

The all-Canadian cast has been touring world-wide for the past 10 years, recreating the look and sound of the Bee Gees.

Consummate entertainer

Thursday night the Bee Gees tribute band Night Fever hits the stage, along with Frankie Valli tribute artist Frank Chiarelli.

Renfrew Fair

For Ruttan, live performance “completes the circle”Deric Ruttan was raised just outside

Bracebridge, on land where his great-grandfather made moonshine in the 1930s.

Taking his cues from musical heroes like Steve Earle, he moved to Nashville and spent seven years ‘in the trenches’ in the country music capital of the world, struggling to make a name for himself.

Eventually he signed a publishing deal with Sony/ATV Music Publishing, and soon after inked a recording contract with Disney’s Lyric Street Records.

When the album was released in Cana-da, the CD yielded fi ve top-10 singles, in-cluding the hits When You Come Around, Shine, and Take The Wheel, and earned him a Best Album nomination at the 2004 Canadian Country Music Awards.

Male Vocalist and Rising Star nomina-tions followed, as did the Grand Ol’ Opry appearances, and a high-profi le national tour.

In 2004 he was named Best New Solo Country Artist at the Canadian Radio Music Awards. Stateside though, Ruttan’s artist success was about to be eclipsed by his success as a songwriter.

In 2003, just as his fi rst single When You Come Around was released, he celebrated his fi rst No. 1 as a songwriter when friend and collaborator Dierks Bentley took the Ruttan/Bentley/Brett Beavers co-write What Was I Thinkin’ to the top of the charts in the U.S.

Over the course of touring his First

Time In A Long Time album in 2008 and 2009, Ruttan and his band developed a reputation for putting on high-energy shows. How his songs translate to a live audience is important to Ruttan.

“I’ve played more in the last year-and-a-half than I played in the three previous years combined.

“When writing and recording the new album, I tried to keep in mind the energy of our live show. To a degree that infl u-enced song selection.”

The energy and the intimacy of Rut-tan’s live performances come through on every track on Sunshine.

As Ruttan wrote or co-wrote every song on the album, it’s also a very personal body of work.

“As a singer/songwriter, my albums usually end up being windows into where I am in my life when I write and record them. It’s never an intentional thing – but that’s what ends up happening.”

The album’s lead-off single, Sing That Song Again, is a nostalgic look at youth, the friendships made early in life, and the role music plays in our lives and relation-ships.

Ruttan and his band have embarked on a 23-city cross-Canada tour that will take them from British Columbia to P.E.I.

“I love writing, recording, and produc-ing records, but singing those songs for a live audience is the fourth critical step in the process. It completes the circle, and galvanizes the music.” Deric Ruttan hits the grandstage stage at the Renfrew Fair on Friday night.

Renfrew Fair

Conlee committed to helping the family farmJohn Conlee is a lot like his songs.He lives a domestic life with his wife

gale and three children, Rebecca, Jes-sica and Johnny.

During the past two decades, Con-lee has achieved a level of success by simply being himself and making re-cords the public can relate to.

He is a gifted entertainer, but he’s not into the glitz and hype of the en-tertainment world. He’d rather spend his “off the road” time working on his 32-acre farm outside of Nashville, or engaging in his woodworking and gun-smithing hobbies.

Born and raised in Kentucky farm country, Conlee grew up plowing fi elds, slopping hogs, harvesting grain, rais-ing tobacco, and tending cattle.

He began his crusade to save the family farm system several years ago, performing a concert in Omaha, Ne-braska in June 1985 as a benefi t for the National Farmers Organization.

When Willie nelson announced his plans for the Farm Aid concerts, Con-lee called and offered his services. Conlee has since been part of nine Farm Aid concerts, which have raised $13 million to help the family farmer.

“I certainly didn’t help to organize the entertainers and the concerts for the publicity,” says Conlee, “I wanted to help bring attention to the crisis affecting this nation’s family farms. With the help of Willie and others, we

brought the family problems to the forefront and some changes began to take place.

“I’m not a radical or a rebel,” Con-lee continues, “but I will stand up and speak my mind on issues that I feel af-fect me, my family and others, and the farm crisis was, and remains, one of those issues.”

Conlee’s success began in the late 70s. S

igned to ABC Records after working in radio for a number of years, Conlee was ready to make records rather than just sit back and spin them.

His fi rst release, Back Side of Thirty went no where fast. Three more sin-gles also met with a minimum suc-cess, although they all charted. But in March of 1978, the label released Rose Colored Glasses, a song Conlee wrote, which became a huge hit and his sig-nature song.

In January of 1979, the label re-re-leased Back Side of Thirty which went on to become a No. 1 record.

The hits continued to roll. The Con-lee hit list includes, Lady Lay Down, Before My Time, Friday Night Blues, Miss Emily’s Picture, Busted, I Don’t Remember Loving You, Common Man, I’m Only In It For The Love, In My Eyes, As Long As I’m Rocking With You, Years After You, Domestic Life, Mama’s Rockin Chair, Hit The Ground Runnin’ and Fellow Travelers.

All of Conlee’s hits have that unmis-takable common thread – that unique voice.

Unlike many artists today, there are several aspects of Conlee’s career that have remained constant. His career has been managed from the beginning by Dave Roberts and all his records have been produced by Bud Logan. In the entertainment world where art-ists change manager, agents and pro-ducers almost as often as they change their socks, Conlee has not tampered with success. He has remained loyal and constant with the people who have helped him from the beginning – which tells you quite a bit about the man with the rose-colored glasses.

Overall, there have been 29 single releases throughout the years with 26 of them charting in the top 20 or bet-ter.

Eight of those 26 have reached the coveted No. 1 spot on the national country charts.

His record tenure, beginning at ABC Records, brought him to MCA Records when the two labels merged.

Conlee also recorded for Colum-bia Records where he scored four hit singles signing with Nashville’s 16th Avenue Records, a division of the Op-ryland Music Group. This was some-thing of a homecoming for Conlee, who has been a member of the Grand Ole Opry since 1981. John Conlee is Saturday’s grandstand performer.

Two area high schools will be with-out food and beverage options for at least the fi rst two weeks of Septem-

ber. The Ontario government’s new healthy-eating guidelines are mak-ing it diffi cult for vendors to see a profi t, according to Renfrew County District School Board director of education Roger Clarke. The board

is in negotiations to secure vendors for Arnprior District High School and Renfrew Collegiate Institute, but doubts cafeterias will be up and running until late September.

“There’s not a lot of vendors out

there,” Clarke said. “They are grap-pling with how to make a dollar.”

The short timeline is also to blame; the government announced changes in January for this coming school year.

#4063 KallaYou can see sweet Kalla for yourself at the Pet Valu in Renfrew. The tiny, spayed kitty is just under a year old and has already been through quite a bit. She was left at the shelter door in a cage with her three kittens and is now ready to fi nd a loving new home of her own. Kalla is very quiet, enjoys attention and is affectionate. She is good with other cats and would be gentle with children. She will make a wonderful companion in her new home.

#4101 CharlieShelter staff members are so hoping to fi nd Charlie a loving home, they will waive the adoption fee for the right owner. The 10-12-year-old Rottweiler/Shepherd mix was found in Burnstown and never claimed. He is looking for a retirement home where he can quietly live out the rest of his life. He does have some arthritis but enjoys going for short walks. He is also partially deaf but likes to be petted and loves treats. He is housebroken and good in his crate. Charlie is not fond of other dogs and would be best suited where he is the only pet. He is quiet, enjoys laying in the sunshine and watching all that is happening around him. If you have room in your heart or home for this special senior boy, please come and meet him.

Heritage

AUGUST 31, 1911

ENGINEER MANAGED TO KEEP 12 WORKERS: The 22 Russian laborers employed on the new power plant construc-tion quit work on Mon-day afternoon. They marched up to the town clerk’s offi ce and asked for their checks. Engi-neer Stewart reminded them of their agree-ment with the town, which was to work until the building operations of the new power house were concluded at $1.65 per day. By using tact and some stress he man-aged to make 12 of them stay. They gave as their reason for quitting that they wanted a steady job throughout the win-ter, but it is thought that they received an offer of work elsewhere.SUCCESSFUL BUSI-NESS IN MONTREAL: Mr. E.F. Kelly returned from Montreal, where some months ago he made arrangements to open a bottling works under the management of Mr. Frank Dupuis, who gave such effi cient service in the Renfrew Bottling works for many years. The Mon-treal branch is prosper-ing and progressing at a very pleasing rate. Re-cently a complete bot-tling outfi t for all class-es of soft drinks has been installed, and Mr. Dupuis’s skill is making the business forge ahead at a great rate. The busi-ness gives promise of being a leader in its line in Montreal.

AUGUST 20, 1936

YOUNG RENFREWI-TES LEAGUE SWIM-MERS: Tom Logan and Tom Letang, who is in his fi rst year after 12, swam the Ottawa from shore to shore a

few days ago. It was on that section of the Ot-tawa which widens into Chats Lake, with an average width of three miles. Starting at Thur-ston camp, they went over to Sand Bay, cross-ing three timber booms. Both of these young Renfrewites are strong swimmers, the younger said to be the best in the district for his age.SATURDAY MORN-INGS RAIN BROKE A DROUGHT: People of Renfrew and vicinity were roused from their slumbers at 3.30 o’clock Saturday morning by thunder and lightening plus falling rain. Rain was falling in torrents and even the Renfrew baseball team has a wel-come for it. A drought was broken. There was to have been a baseball match between Barry’s Bay and Renfrew in the Eastern Ontario play-downs and soon there appeared in the Mer-cury window a bulletin telling of the postpone-ment of the match. The rain was good so far as it went. There was not enough of it.

AUGUST 25, 1971

BACKFILES SOLVE DEBATE: The back-fi les of the Renfrew Mercury solved an ar-gument the other day. Ernie Humphries of Castleford insisted that a big storm that hit the Renfrew area many years ago happened in 1892. But his brother Lorne, said it happened in 1893. Ernie was sure of the date, because that’s the year he was born. Lorne said it was a year later, because he was in a schoolhouse that collapsed during the storm. Ernie, bound he was going to win the argument came to the

Mercury-Advance offi ce last Thursday, and went through the backfi les. As it turned out Ernie was right. The storm happened June 14, 1892.HISTORIC STONES PROVIDE SCENIC ASSET: Murray Chown and Harry Walker went on a historic safari into the lovely mountainous terrain just off the Opeongo Road in Radcliffe Township. Among the areas that the county tourist bureau seems to have overlooked are the stone fences on the Recoski farm. Three generations of Recoskis, since Martin Recoski came in the immigration from Poland 150 years ago, have converted the rugged land into a 500-acre farm. In that same immigration came a forbearer of Paul Yakabuski, MPP, Renfrew South. Successive generations of Recoskies have alternately cleared their acres by stoneboat of pre-Cambrian rocks and stones. They have fenced their fi elds with these in symmetrical patterns. Their original log buildings are on that mountain farm. They have also tapped a running stream, 40 feet down, and bricked a section of it. That modern well provides wonderful water.

husband, Harry, who passed away 4 years ago on September 5, 2007

If tears could build a stairwayRight up to Heaven’s lane,

I would walk right up to HeavenI’d have everything to gain.

I would wrap my arms around you,Hold you ever so tight,Tell you how I miss you

Every day and every night.Then I would thank you

For the precious years we had,For the love we shared together,

Life without you is so sad.But I believe it wasn’t goodbye,

But until we meet again,For some of us believeThere really is no end.I can still send my love

Just a little farther away,To say I’ll always love you

Every passing day.You are within my heart,There you will remain,

As I go on with lifeAnd you rest in Heaven’s lane.

Forgotten you will never be,For it’s now been 4 yearsSince God took you home

And fi lled my eyes with tears.

I will love you always,Forever in my heart, your wife, Irene

Elaine Jean Gray (nee Connery)

1939 - 2011It is with profound sadness that we announce the

passing of Elaine Gray on August 23rd at the

Intensive Care Unit of the Moncton Hospital with her

loving family at her side.Born in Renfrew, Ontario, Elaine is the daughter of

the Late William and Evelyn Connery.She will be dearly missed by her beloved and devoted husband Bob Gray. She is the loving mother of Catherine Jane (Derrick Acton) of

Sackville and Kristi Lynn (Neal Welling) of Shediac Cape; cherished grandmother of Lindsay and Laine

Acton and proud aunt to Megan, Jon, Lynn, Jay, Paul and Philip. She was predeceased by an older sister, Shirley Sheridan and her husband, Gerald, of North Carolina; and survived by a brother, Dr.

Mervin Connery and wife, Ann of Napanee; and a younger sister, Lynn Whiteley and her husband Skip

of Whitby, Ontario.A graduate of Renfrew Collegiate and Ottawa Teachers’ College, Elaine was a teacher with

the Ottawa School Board and subsequently, the Etobicoke Board of Education. She loved being a primary school teacher, but better still, being a mother to her two young daughters. She will be

remembered for her sense of humour, love of family gatherings and the simple pleasures of everyday life!

Cremation has taken place under the care and supervision of the Jones Funeral Home, Sackville,

NB (506-364-1300). A memorial service was held at Sackville United Church on Saturday, August 27th at

11 AM with Rev. John Perkin offi ciating. In lieu of fl owers, donations in memory of Elaine

may be made to the Friends of the Moncton Hospital, the Sackville United Church or a charity of

your choice.www.jonesfuneralhome.ca

The family of the late Elva Curry would like to express our sincere and heartfelt thanks to our families, neighbors and friends, for the many offerings of sympathy, fl owers, charitable donations, masses and food brought to our homes. We would also like to thank Dr. Dave Johnson for his many years of caring, respect and compassion shown to Mom. To the Palliative Care Team and the awesome Nursing Staff of the 3rd Floor at Renfrew Victoria Hospital, the care and your compassion for Mom and our family will never be forgotten. To Uncle Fern, to just say thanks doesn’t seem enough to express how much we appreciate your support, help and love! Thank you to Don and Natasha of the Goulet Funeral Home for your professional-ism, guidance and support during this diffi cult time. Thanks to Fr. Proulx and Fr. McNamara for your visits to Mom and the CWL for the wonderful luncheon after the funeral and to Dorothy Moore, Ellen and Katie Milosek for looking after us so well in between the wake. Last but not least, thanks to the Pallbearers, Tommy, Frank, William, Chris, Steven and Kevin. You did Grandma proud.
