North York man dies during Wilderness Tours river trip

Mercury staff

The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police is investigating the drowning death of a 28-year-old man in the Ottawa River near Forest-ers Falls.

An OPP report says the po-lice were called to Wilderness Tours on Saturday, Aug. 18 about 6:20 p.m. when a male was pulled, unresponsive, from the water.

Staff performed CPR on the man and were assisted by paramedics upon their arrival.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The investigation reveals Thang Duc Ngo, 28, of North York, Ont., was at Wilderness Tours with three friends for a day of rafting.

During a break in rafting, participants are free to swim and relax.

Police say it was at this time that Ngo was found to be missing.

Wilderness Tours employ-ees searched for and located Ngo underwater.

He was brought to shore and given CPR, but staff and paramedics were unable to re-vive him.

An offi cial statement from Wilderness Tours, which ex-tended its thoughts and prayers to his family and friends, said he died after a late-Saturday afternoon stop on the Ottawa River.

This popular stop is called Miami Beach, named for the beautiful sand beach that

forms at summer water levels. At that spot on the trip, guests can swim at the beach, jump off the rock or slide into the calm pool of water on an over-turned raft.

“While the investigation is not complete, it appears that Mr. Ngo was participating in the cliff jumping off a two- to three-metre drop into about three meters of water,” said the Wilderness Tours offi cial statement.

“This popular activity is part of most river trips provid-ed by outfi tters on the Ottawa River. Because of its location far away from the current, wearing life jackets while jumping or sliding is optional.

“Mr. Ngo was recovered not wearing a life jacket.

“Participants are advised to be in good health and possess average swimming ability,” the statement said.

A preliminary investigation suggests the Ngo jumped off the rock, surfaced and was seen swimming back to shore.

“We are grateful for the help of other river companies on the river at the time, para-medics and the Renfrew OPP,” said the Wilderness Tours offi -cial statement.

“The investigation is con-tinuing and will provide more information if it becomes available.

“We are deeply saddened by this event and express our condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Ngo.”

Police are continuing to in-vestigate under the direction of the Coronerʼs Offi ce.

The death is not considered suspicious and no foul play is suspected.

Const. Sarah Turcotte is in-vestigating.

An estimated 14,000 people attended the second annual Class Axe Guitars Blues and Ribfest at Calabogie Peaks on the weekend.

Thatʼs an impressive jump from last yearʼs turnout of 8,000 people, enough to move or-ganizers to set their sights on the title of Blues Capital of Canada.

Calabogie Peaks owner Paul Murphy de-scribed the increase as “nice,” leaving larger accolades for the eventʼs musical lineup, ven-dors, volunteers and spectators.

As Downchild lead singer Chuck Jackson proclaimed during Friday nightʼs perfor-mance: “This is not Calabogie. This is Cala-boogie!”

Former Ottawa Mayor Larry OʼBrien also gave the event a huge thumbs-up, jumping on stage to proclaim the Calabogie show even better than Ottawaʼs blues celebration.

From its opening at noon Friday, right up until the gates closed Sunday at 8 p.m., the local blues showcase and ribsfest was a clear success.

Murphy attributed that success to a variety of factors, including the year-round promo-tion given to the event by major sponsor radio station DAWG-FM, plus an impressive musi-cal lineup.

Among those acts were premier blues bands Downchild and The Powder Blues Band.

The weather also co-operated, with only a touch of rain over the three days.

“This is a great night!” proclaims Downchild lead singer Chuck Jackson.

Calabogie aims for title of Blues Capital of CanadaContinued from front

Workshops were also popular with 35 to 50 people at each session. Jack DeKeyser and J.W. Jones hosted the guitar workshops while Guy Belanger and David Rotundo offered har-monica sessions.

Harmonica lies at the heart of most blues, and Murphy said one remarkable highlight of the weekend was when the festivalʼs fi nal performer – David Rotundo – launched into a long, exciting song jam and, at the end, jumped off the stage and into the audience where he played up close with fans and exchanged high-fi ves to roars of applause.

The Calabogie Peaks festival is distinct for many reasons, including a powerful fi reworks display that is timed to coincide with the last song Saturday night. The spectacular show draws boats into the Peaks ̓bay and Murphy also heard reports of cars parked all the way to the Eagleʼs Nest Trail turnoff on Highway 508 to catch the fi reworks that were shot off mid-way up the mountain into the brilliant, clear night sky.

Aside from the natural amphitheatre of the ski hill for spectators, the Peaks ̓ event also distinguishes itself as unique by offering on-site camping. The number of campers also increased this year and Murphy hopes that trend will continue, with the camp community spreading up the mountain.

An expanded kids ̓zone offering 15 differ-ent games “went very well” according to Mur-phy, who was happy to see the large number of families enjoying the event. There was even a musician who performed just for the children.

Murphy said next yearʼs festival will be held Aug. 16, 17 and 18 under basically the same

set-up, perhaps with a few more “ribbers,” as the demand for food was very high.

The judgeʼs picks for best sauce went to Ga-tor BBQ, followed by Horn Dawgʼs Smokin; BBQ; and best ribs were Horn Dawgʼs Smokin ̓BBQ, followed by Gator BBQ.

Peopleʼs choice honours were presented for pulled pork, chicken, ribs and sauce.

Horn Dawgʼs Smokin ̓BBQ was top choice for pulled pork, followed by Gator BBQ.

The fi rst-place chicken choice was Ken-tucky Smokehouse, followed by Crazy Canuck Smokers.

The peopleʼs choice top sauce title went to Horn Dawgʼs Smokin ̓BBQ, followed by Ken-tucky, and the ribs choice was Horn Dawgʼs Smokin ̓BBQ followed by Kentucky.

This yearʼs overall top prize was also spe-cial, as Burnstown artist Richard Gill of Bit-tersweet Gallery created and donated a plaque with an impressive clay relief sculpture for the winner.

Bittersweet Gallery was also one of close to 40 vendors at the event. The vendors ̓market drew good feedback from festival-goers for its diversity, and the vendors were happy with sales.

Murphy said most ticket sales were from the Ottawa, Seaway and Ottawa Valley markets, with a marked increase in local sales.

Moving forward, Murphy said the Peaks is committed to the festivalʼs future and assures its theme will remain true to the eventʼs blues roots.

And now, with its growing distinction as a “popular, popular venue,” Murphy thinks Cal-abogie may one day be recognized as the Blues Capital of Canada.

More than 3,000 people made their way through the Renfrew Agricultural Society grounds and Armouries Satur-day for Taste of the Valley.

More than 70 vendors showcased their fi nest crafts, cooking and more.

This is the second year of the event which organizers saw has defi nitely grown, thanks in large part to the regular farm-ers ̓ market whose popularity “made a great difference.”

There were steady crowds throughout the day.

“The vendors were very happy with the turnout and said the visitors were very sup-portive of the various people showcasing everything from jewelry and crafts to jams, jel-lies and maple syrup.

The next Taste of the Valley event is Saturday, Oct. 13 in Cobden.

“Taste of the Valley is, fi rst and foremost, a celebration of local foods and products,” says the County of Renfrew website.

“The elected offi cials of the County of Renfrew are insist-ing that, where possible, all products be produced within the County of Renfrew. “

PBS visits to interview local artists for auctionJohn [email protected]

Twenty-fi ve local artists are receiving some valuable pub-licity after being chosen to take part in a fundraiser for the Water-town, New York PBS television station.

A WPBS crew was in the area last week fi lming interviews and showing off the works of the art-ists.

The segments were shot in Burnstown’s Neat Café, Arnpri-or’s Robert Simpson Park and in front of the historic fi ve arch stone bridge in Pakenham.

They will be aired on the PBS station in the lead-up to an on-air Art Auction Nov. 16 to18, which will play a major role in the sta-tion’s fundraising week.

The local artists were chosen in a juried process organized by Kevin Dodds of Arnprior and Diana Wakely of Renfrew to pro-vide art works for the auction.

“It’s back by popular de-mand,” explained WPBS special events manager Julie Weston, noting the station had many re-quests by viewers to revive the auction. The art auction, a major contributor to the station’s annual fundraising drive for 25 years, is back after a fi ve-year absence.

Weston said she was “pleas-antly surprised” by the amount of interest shown by Valley artists in the auction. The artists chosen come from a variety of media, from painting and pottery to jew-elry-making, she said.

The Showcase of the Arts auc-tion will include in-depth looks into the artists’ lives and works. Participating artists receive “a lot of exposure,” both through the airing of the interviews and on the station’s website, she ex-plained.

All participating artists are in-vited to attend the station for the auction and Arnprior artist Ian Bartlett will be featured creating a painting on the set.

Dodds, who has been involved in the auction for many years and was its featured artist in 1994, agrees that it’s a valuable op-portunity for artists to show their art to a wide audience in eastern Ontario and northern New York State.

Joining Weston in making the visit to Burnstown, Arnprior and Pakenham to shoot the interviews Aug. 14 and 15 were WPBS di-rector of production Tracy Dufl o, producer-director Lumarie Vega and special events clerk Monica Stadalski.

If wagging tails is any indi-cation of success, Bark in the Park was a huge one.

Over 100 people and their dogs met at Ma-Te-Way Park to socialize, play and discuss the proposed off leash dog park.

The dog community is striving for a 2013 opening of a four acre fenced in area with a double gated entrance.

The park is of interest to many dog owners in Renfrew and discussions bounced from the height of the fence to what ammenities should be includ-ed and when the park would be the busiest.

Throughout the event, sup-porters could make a donation toward the park in exchange for nail trimming, dog wash-ing, raffl e tickets or dog treats. A total of $565 was raised, with more money coming in each day.

The dog park committee is going to keep the ball rolling this year by holding a fund-raising walk in the fall.

If anyone would like to join the committee, contact

A Dacre residence sus-tained major damage in a fi re last Friday.

The fi re, which started in the basement, gutted the base-ment and living quarters, and reached the near wall and roof of the adjoining two-vehicle garage.

The home is owned by Pe-ter Waito.

Waitoʼs son, Joey, had time to remove pets from the prem-ises.

No animals or people sus-tained injuries in the fi re, which was attended by three pumper trucks and two res-cue-equipment vans from the Bonnechere Valley fi re de-partment.

The Douglas fi re depart-ment, which was later called in, for mutual aid, arrived with a pumper truck, tanker truck and extra equipment.

Bonnechere Valley Fire Chief Morley Kosmack says the 9-1-1 call came in at 10:55

a.m. Flames were shooting out

of the basement windows when the fi rst fi refi ghters ar-rived on the scene.

Chief Kosmack says the fi re has been classifi ed as ac-cidental, following a carpen-

try accident in the basement.Highway 132 was closed

for several hours, between Dacre and the junction of highways 132 and 41, while fi refi ghters fought the fi re and then monitored the site for fl are-ups.

Opeongo Road is focus of Admaston-Bromley’s CIIF bidSteve [email protected]

Admaston-Bromley Town-ship is applying for federal funds under the new Commu-nity Infrastructure Improve-ment Fund. The focus of its application is a 2.37-kilome-tre stretch of Opeongo Road, which leads to the Town of Renfrew boundary.

Priority is given to those

seeking one-third federal fund-ing, but Admaston-Bromley is seeking 50 per cent support for the project estimated to cost about $263,000.

Costs include ditching, grading, calcium, rock remov-al and the paving of shoulders, as the township looks to pro-vide paved shoulders, on both sides of the road, for walkers and bikers.

Admaston-Bromley is

trumpeting the project as a connecting link to provincial Highway 132 as well as a trail of historical and recre-ational value. Its application notes that daily traffi c count reaches 1,800, or the highest volume of any road within the Admaston-Bromley 340-km. network.

Three projects were con-sidered. The other two were Douglas rink roof repairs and

improvements to the Douglas fi re hall.

“Thereʼs all kind of need to rehabilitate that road before we have to reconstruct the whole thing,” said Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe. “So this (would be) money well spent, very well spent. Opeongo Road has huge historical signifi cance, so weʼre glad to sign it accord-ingly, because itʼs part of the Opeongo Line and all kinds of history. And itʼs a great link between the business section and the Town of Renfrew and Highway 132.”

The mayor says the road could also be a whole lot safer, partly because of poor lines of sight. These include the com-munity mail boxes, which are located right after a large rock that creates a sharp corner for drivers.

The federal program is sup-plying $49.6 million in On-tario.

Helpful Hydro One grants for Admaston-BromleySteve [email protected]

A recent Hydro One tour of seven munici-pal facilities in Admaston-Bromley Township has resulted in extra funding for fi ve energy-effi ciency upgrades.

Hydro One recommended $5,573.45 in funding toward the overall estimated cost of $7,581.75, following the Aug. 2 visit by a Hydro One offi cial. Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe called the grants pleasant surprises.

The improvements will also provide an esti-mated $1,328 in annual energy savings.

Hydro One will cover the entire cost to up-grade the Stone Road offi ce and garage, and the Cobden garage. Those respective costs are $1,081 and $352.

The other facilities to be upgraded are the Barr Line Community Centre, Douglas fi re hall

and Douglas recreation building. Their rec-ommended and respective upgrades will cost $1,823, $1,833 and $2,490. Of those totals, the township will pay $505, $535 and $968, for a total of $2,008.

Admaston-Bromley already had $2,500 in this yearʼs budget for energy-effi ciency up-grades. Under the program, all costs under the fi rst $1,000 for a facility are completely cov-ered by Hydro One.

The repairs will consist mainly of replacing T12 + older magnetic ballasts with electronic ballasts. The newer T8s are brighter, more ef-fi cient and easy to buy. The older ballasts were also scheduled to go out of production this summer.

A Hydro One offi cial also visited the Os-ceola historical building and Osceola landfi ll site Aug. 2, but recommended no upgrades for those facilities.

EDITORIAL

The days are getting longer, which means marks a very special time – the agricultural fair season.

Fairs have already been held in Arnprior and Beachburg, and this weekend Cobden and Shawville host their exhibitions.

And in two short weeks, the Renfrew Fair rolls into town Sept. 5 to 9.

There is so much to enjoy at our annual fall fairs. More than you might appreciate.

There are, of course, rides and games and music. But the heart, as always, lies in the ag-ricultural roots of these fairs.

Rural fall fairs are a celebration of a much simpler, yet much more diffi cult time.

Fall fairs remind us of our heritage – days

when most food came from nearby fi elds, gar-dens and barnyards. And when skills like bak-ing, preserving, sewing and knitting kept fami-lies fed and clothed.

This year, enjoy the lights and bells and whistles. But take the time to fi nd the silent spaces, in exhibit halls and barns.

In his website greeting, Renfrew Agricul-

tural Society president Bob Johnston reminds us: “The Renfrew Fair has provided friendly competition, family entertainment for all ages and family involvement over the decades.”

Promoted as “The greatest fair in the Ottawa Valley since 1853,” the fair is possible, thanks to the efforts of a dedicated team of directors that deserves our praise and recognition.

This fall fair season, celebrate our rich agricultural heritage

POLL RESULTS

Has our interest in the Olympics become too focused on medal-winners and not enough on the eff orts of the athletes?

A) No. We should be focused on the medal-winners. What’s wrong with pro-moting excellence?

B) Yes. There are some wonderful sto-ries being ignored because the athletes aren’t involved in the ‘sexy’ events or from the high-profi le countries.

C) No. It’s only natural to focus on the winners. It’s just too bad there isn’t an even playing fi eld.

D) Yes. The heartache of defeat can be just as compelling a story as the ecstasy of vic-tory. Just ask triathlete Paula Findlay.

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION

The provincial legislature is being reconvened Aug. 27 to pass the Putting Students First Act. Is the government putting students fi rst in its deal-ings with teachers?

A) Yes. Teachers have had it good since the McGuinty Liberals were elected. It’s time their taxpayer-paid salaries and benefi ts return to a more realistic level.

B) No. Teachers have one of the most important jobs in society and they should be compensated better to refl ect that.

C) Yes. The government should ban teacher strikes and impose settlements on them. Don’t rob students of an essential service.

D) No. Let collective bargaining work. Don’t impose contracts from above. If teachers aren’t happy, their students aren’t likely to be happy either.

To the editor:Wednesday, August 22 marked one year

since the death of Jack Layton but thousands of postings on the website “Dear Jack.ca” at-test to his continuing infl uence.

I remember a man who approached the NDP booth at the Renfrew fair last September.

At one side of the booth we had hung a picture of Jack and we had a memorial book which people were invited to sign.

This man asked if there hadnʼt been “enough of this.”

Although he was trying to appear controlled and perhaps slightly sardonic, he was, in fact, positively bristling.

I felt then as I feel now, that he just didnʼt

“get it”.He didnʼt get that the outpouring of love and

gratitude and grief had nothing to do with party politics.

It was, to be sure, partially about the man himself, but it was more about the manʼs lega-cy of hope and empowerment.

We are all important. Each of us can, and in-deed must, contribute to making a better world – pretty heady stuff!

Many have taken his message and carried it forward; many more will do so, and thus will Jackʼs beloved Canada and the world move out of the shadows. Thanks, Jack!

To the editor:Re: Alleged Scare Tactics by MP Gallant, by

Ray Parchelo, Aug. 17, 2012.I donʼt believe Mr. Parchelo is being very

mindful at all, of reality.He does seem, however, to enjoy partaking

in the lowest form of wit with his sarcastic, ju-venile and tasteless pap.

Indeed his letter was quite insulting to our MP and other residents.

As only about 17 to 18 per cent of all Cana-dians are aware that CBC receives $1.16 billion in corporate welfare every year, it is incumbent on our incumbent to inform her constituents of the goings- on of their tax dollars.

Yet ironically, the CBC will not miss an op-portunity to blare that private company ABC or ACME Canada INC. receives a bit of tax relief and cries “Corporate welfare at its worst.”

Even though these companies actually pro-vide jobs and add to the bottom line of the country, rather than just take, take, take.

That fact that CBC has become such a large and secretive consumer of our money, any cut to CBC can easily be justifi ed.

I personally do like CBC Radio, especially Radio 2, as they appear to have more substan-tive music and a lot less politically slanted and tasteless pap. (Check out Nigel Kennedyʼs vio-lin concertos)

I believe MP Cheryl Gallant was referring to CBC TV that is now not available to many in the Valley, myself included, due to their switch-ing to digital from analog signals last fall and the fact that they chose to cut our services here in the Valley!

That said, CBC in its present form, has be-

come outdated, unnecessary and a wasteful drain on our money, especially in light of the ga-zillions of sources of news and entertain-ment courtesy of broadband in almost all of Canada.

Millions of Canadians are waking up to the reality that we can no longer afford such ex-travagance, and at a time when cities, states and whole countries are going into receivership, we must pare the dead wood from the tree.

I believe, as many Canadians do, that CBC should have about 70 per cent of its present form privatized and/or sold.

Leave at its core the CBC Radio 2 for de-cent music, a bit of news and programs and, of course, the infrastructure for emergency broad-cast.

Capping the corporate welfare at $350 mil-lion would be more than enough to cover a CBC for such common sensical purposes.

The other $800 million so could go to pay-ing down the debt.

No country can afford the wasteful drain on its tax dollars that the CBC currently swal-lows.

Perhaps Mr. Parchelo would do well to of-fer a solution or two, rather than a delusional teenage drama to the conversation, ever mind-ful of course, that residents of Renfrew County are a lot better informed and intelligent than he seems to think, and further, that that knowl-edge, wisdom and fi scal prudence does certain-ly not at all stem from the CBC.

Thank you for your time.Sincerely,

H. Wm. TuckArnprior

Schools to reopen on time despite teacher disputeDerek [email protected]

There wonʼt be a strike during the students ̓fi rst day of school, according to an area teach-ers ̓union spokesman, but after that it depends on how far the Liberal government is willing to push it.

Premier Dalton McGuinty said during a tour of an Ottawa school on Aug. 17 his minority government plans to introduce legislation that will require school boards and teacher unions to accept a salary freeze over the next two years and ban any strikes or lockouts.

After eight years of relative stability com-pared to the tumultuous Mike Harris years, relations between the Liberal government and teachers has soured as Queenʼs Park tries to get a handle on the provincial defi cit.

McGuinty has declared he will recall the Ontario legislature early on Monday, Aug. 27 to vote on a bill called Putting Students First.

The bill would also force teachers to take a 1.5 per cent pay cut in the form of unpaid pro-fessional development days, eliminate banked sick days and offer 10 teaching days for short-term sick leave.

He said the measures will save the deeply-indebted province $2 billion over the next two years.

The one-time “education premier” added that if teachers donʼt give up the money it could affect other areas of the education system.

“We canʼt invest in teacher pay hikes and roll out full-day kindergarten,” he said. “We canʼt invest in teacher pay hikes and keep class sizes down. We canʼt invest in teacher pay hikes and maintain jobs for those 13,000 teachers, new teachers that weʼve hired (over the past nine years).”

The legislation would take effect Sept. 1, the day after current teachers and support staff agreements expire. If unchanged, automatic staff salaries kick in.

The government says the hikes, as much as

5.5 per cent, would be put in effect if it doesnʼt take steps to undo them.

Union reps call that one of many attempts at fear-mongering.

More than half the provinceʼs teachers agreed to zero per cent wage increases during the last round, according to Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation District 28 presi-dent Jeff Barber of Admaston-Bromley.

The vast majority of the other half would see a one per cent increase.

MANUFACTURED CRISIS

Barber said the Liberals are manufacturing a crisis by imposing artifi cial deadlines, pin-ning groups against one another, and infl ating the numbers.

But the former Renfrew Collegiate Institute teacher said educators and staff are willing to contribute to solving the debt problem, but through negotiation, not by force.

“Our members will be in their schools and working with students on the fi rst day,” Barber said. “Weʼre ready to work with local school boards and talk.”

He added that he has no crystal ball, and didnʼt discuss the possibility of work-to-rule action.

The Liberals said union negotiators walked away from the table in the past. Barber said they walked away from three lawyers with a fi stful of demands, not elected politicians will-ing to talk.

Asked about popular opinion that shows all public sector employees are paid more and en-joy better benefi ts than other taxpayers, Barber said it is easier these days to pick on unions rather than target other areas.

Politicians are also well compensated, he said. As well, corporations are pulling in re-cord profi ts and are taxed lower in Ontario than almost anywhere else in North America.

“I wouldnʼt characterize teachers in the one per cent,” he said. “We are willing to talk and

willing to help, but they are going beyond that now.”

He said the Liberals are “taking away de-mocracy” if they impose the Putting Students First bill. That it would dismantle rules that have built the standard-of-living all Ontarians have enjoyed for many years.

ECONOMY SUFFERING

McGuinty said measures must be taken to respond to the lagging provincial and world economy.

The wage increases, the sick leave provision and the existing retirement gratuity would cost the province $473 million, according to the Ministry of Education.

The deals struck in the past brought labour peace, but it canʼt go on, he said.

“They were reasonable and responsible giv-en the economics that prevailed,” he said.

“But these are different times, I think Ontar-ians recognized that.”

There is much uncertainty in the global economy, said McGuinty and as a consequence Ontarioʼs economy is growing more slowly than the government would like.

“We canʼt afford to give pay hikes to teach-ers or doctors or nurses or any of the 1.3 mil-lion public sector workers,” he said. “Not right now. Theyʼve all had reasonable, responsible pay hikes over the past nine years.

“These times are a little bit different,” he said.

“It really is responsible for us to protect jobs and protect progress, but hit the pause button for a couple of years.”

BOARDS CAUGHT IN MIDDLE

Renfrew County District School Board Chairman Dave Shields said “there is a fi nan-cial crisis in the province,” but didnʼt say if the money to clear the debt should come from teachers.

He said if the impasse isnʼt broken soon he isnʼt sure how the wage increases will be paid.

“Weʼre kind of bystanders now. We have no money (for pay raises),” he said. “We have no idea where weʼd get the money.”

Thatʼs because the board sent in a proposed budget in May.

It received money back from the province that included a zero per cent pay increase for employees.

That tying of the hands at the local level, begun under the Harris government, is another indication that democracy is removed from the ground level, according to Barber. He said traditionally contracts were negotiated at the board level.

What the McGuinty government is doing not only removes local decision-making, but imposes decisions from the highest levels of government.

Shields, again, said regardless of how either side is handling the standoff, the board could soon be caught in a tight situation.

“We have no time set aside right now for ne-gotiations,” he said.

Farmers frustrated with response to droughtSteve [email protected]

Growing frustrations about lack of govern-ment response to current drought conditions erupted Tuesday night in Cobden.

During a two-hour information meeting hosted by the local chapter of the Ontario Fed-eration of Agriculture in the agricultural hall, farmers sat quietly listening to the early speak-ers. These included Ontario Ministry of Agri-culture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) crop specialist Scott Banks, Renfrew County economic development manager Alastair Baird, and Mike Thompson of Community Fu-tures Development Corporation.

They spoke about potential dangers sur-rounding stored corn silage, data being col-lected by the countyʼs low water response committee, and how farmers can access loans if theyʼre turned down by the banks. About 150 farmers attended the meeting, which gathered momentum from there.

Some farmers ̓ questions were for speaker Gail Simkus of the provincial government insurance body Agricorp. One question came from Douglas farmer Preston Cull, who disput-ed the rainfall fi ndings gathered by Agricorp. He indicated its data has poorly refl ected how little precipitation the area has received this summer, thus adversely affecting potential Ag-ricorp insurance payouts.

Cull later said he learned “nothing” from the information meeting.

Then the frustration erupted following a combined presentation on AgriRecovery, the framework through which farmers in this re-gion, and other regions, hope to gain additional fi nancial assistance to help them recover from the drought.

Presenters senior policy advisor Bradley Shaw of OMAFRA and Rick Fiarchuk of Ag-riculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) re-viewed what AgriRecovery is, and what it may be able to do for farmers.

Afterwards, pointed comments from farmers Don Russell of Osceola and Jennifer Doelman of Douglas drew resounding applause.

Shaw and Fiarchuk spoke about AgriRecov-eryʼs objectives. These include providing “a rapid fi nancial response to assist with immedi-ate recovery from a disaster situation,” and to “enable short-term actions to minimize/contain the impacts of the disaster on producers.”

Fiarchuk, who directs the AAFCʼs disaster assessment and analysis division, stressed that AgriRecovery is not intended to offset income loss, but to help complement existing assis-tance programs and help farmers recover.

Russell, who was named one of Canadaʼs outstanding young farmers a few years ago, is known as an articulate, but usually soft-spoken

man. But Russell, 43, had an edge to his re-marks when he went to the microphone to ad-dress the two speakers.

“I realize the process is complicated and takes a little bit of time,” said Russell.

“You keep saying weʼre going to do this re-ally quickly … and get it (fi nancial assistance) to them (the farmers) as they need it … This is going to take a long time. Youʼre talking about how many people at so many different levels, and all this information. Youʼre not going to get this information until late fall. Itʼs going to be next spring before we see anything, if we get anything … Iʼm really disappointed because I donʼt think AgriRecovery is the solution.”

He also reiterated Cullʼs remark about ques-tionable rain data.

Fiarchuk is also among the offi cials con-ducting the AgriRecovery assessment (whose target is to complete the assessment within 45 business days before making recommenda-tions). This means the assessment might be completed by the end of September.

“We donʼt do this in our ivory towers,” said Fiarchuk at one point, but he was later told the assessment needs to be done by talking to more farmers one-on-one to understand the extent of the drought-caused damage.

After Russell spoke, Douglas cash-cropper Doelman weighed in with her criticisms.

She told the speakers sheʼd “never heard such a waste of double-speak.”

While she said she wasnʼt trying to shoot the messenger, she said promises of working fast and asking for fl exibility werenʼt sitting well with farmers.

“Youʼre saying one thing, but youʼre really telling us weʼre on our own.”

Support needs to happen faster, added Doelman, who pointed out that there was a frost disaster in 2009, but she didnʼt receive her AgStability cheque until March 2012.

“I know youʼre doing the best you can,” said Doelman, “but itʼs not good enough … No of-fence, but I have no faith in the government at all.”

Offi cials attending the meeting included Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gal-lant and Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren, who said, as a farmer, he wanted to hear what the speakers had to say.

Local MP John Yakabuski had a confl icting commitment, at the Association of Municipali-ties of Ontario conference in Ottawa.

Judging by the farmers ̓ frustrations voiced Tuesday, Gallant said sheʼll modify the struc-ture of Mondayʼs Aug. 27 meeting sheʼs host-ing in the Renfrew Legion.

The focus, therefore, will be on how well farmer-assistance programs are working and what can be done to improve them.

The meeting starts at 7 p.m.

Drought-stricken Ontario farmers would probably be re-ceiving government assistance by now if they spoke with one voice like their Quebec coun-terparts.

And providing specifi c information as to how the drought is affecting them will improve their chances of re-ceiving government aid.

Those were two messages that Mayor Mary Campbell shared with McNab-Braeside council Tuesday as council-lors discussed the impact of one of the driest summers on record.

Council decided to table until its Sept. 4 meeting a motion to support the Ren-frew County National Farm-ers Union (NFU) appeal for disaster relief funds for area farmers.

Campbell pointed out the issue of compensation for farmers was being discussed that evening in a meeting in Cobden and would be on the agenda again at a 7 p.m. ses-sion to be hosted by Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant Monday, Aug. 27 at the Renfrew Legion.

Campbell said she applaud-ed the NFU for its initiative and agreed farmers needed help. “Good on them,” she said. However, it may be be-come clear at the two meet-ings that funding should be coming from the AgriRecov-ery program and not be disas-ter relief, she added.

She told council that during a visit by Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) president Mark Wales to McGregorʼs Produce last week, she asked area OFA representative Bri-an Hamilton why the efforts to provide relief for Ontario

farmers is “so far behind” that in Quebec.

She noted the Quebec gov-ernment has been buying hay for drought-ridden farmers for the past month to help them keep their cattle and has al-ready been providing a sub-sidy. In Ontario, no aid is yet forthcoming and the amount of involvement of the provin-cial and federal governments in aid programs still hasnʼt been resolved, she noted.

Campbell said Hamilton suggested the Quebec govern-ment responds so quickly to farmer appeals because they speak with a united voice in that province. In Ontario, the farm voice is split between the OFA, NFU and Christian Farmers.

“Hopefully this drought will bring farmers together to speak with one voice,” she said.

See ONTARIO, page 12

Farmers should speak with one voice

Senior policy advisor Brad-ley Shaw of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Aff airs speaks at Tuesday’s meet-ing in Cobden. Listening in are Donna Campbell, sec-retary of the local chapter of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, and Rick Fi-archuk of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.

Ontario farmers need Quebec-like approach, says Mayor CampbellContinued from page 12

Campbell also urged local farmers to fi ll out forms detailing the economic impact the drought is having on their operations. The col-lection of this type of data is necessary if this area is to get special funding, she said.

Information such as how much a farmer loses by prematurely selling stock is important, she added, noting the impact of the drought will continue for some time.

While not providing any direct assistance yet, Ontario has asked Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada to join with the province in an as-

sessment of support options, including tax re-lief, through the AgriRecovery framework for livestock producers affected by dry weather.

There is a variety of support programs de-signed to protect Ontario farmers against a number of risks, such as bad weather or signifi -cant swings in market prices for their crops.

To participate in a business risk management program, producers must commonly enrol and pay a premium, similar to home or life insur-ance.

The following federal-provincial programs are available to Ontario farmers:

• Production Insurance kicks in when a fi eld crop falls short because of extreme weather, pests or other factors.

• AgriStability is a type of income insur-ance, where the trigger is a decline in income or an increase in costs. Producers who are ex-periencing fi nancial distress and are in need of immediate help can apply for an interim Agri-Stability payment.

• AgriInvest works much like a savings ac-count that farmers can use to either cover small income declines or support other investments. Each year, farmers can deposit a small amount

(1.5 per cent) of their net sales into a bank ac-count and receive a matching government con-tribution. Funds can be withdrawn at any time.

• AgriRecovery is a disaster relief frame-work that provides a rapid response for produc-ers affected by events such as droughts, fl ood-ing, hailstorms, ice storms, or wildfi res. The province may request an AgriRecovery assess-ment, which is done together with the federal government. Also, Ontarioʼs Risk Management Program insures farmers against losses in in-come, and is available for the cattle, grains and oilseeds, hog, sheep and veal sectors.

NATURENATURE Your Community Newspaper


R0011554873

There are eight species of nighthawks and nightjars but the ones we know best are the common nighthawk and the whip-poor-will, our most common nightjar. They are often referred to as “goatsuckers” after the old be-lief that they would fl y into barns at night and suck milk from goats. Today we know them as extremely effi cient insect feeders and because of this ability they are often called mosquito hawks.

In the past week or two rather large fl ocks of the nighthawks have been seen over a wide area. Brian Eady saw a fl ock of about 12 night-hawks at his home on the River Road. Pat En-right saw a fl ock of about 50 birds over High-way 132. Richard and Maureen Brennan saw a fl ock of about 12 birds at their home on Dugald Road and the Clark family saw a fl ock of 12 to 15 birds at Mount St. Patrick.

All the fl ocks were seen at dusk and shortly after, all were “hawking” for insects and all were heard “booming”, a sound made when air passes through their wing and tail feathers dur-ing a dive. It is during their dive that they catch much of their food.

The birds have a small bill but a wide gape that they open when they dive through a swarm of insects, catching a mouthful on the way by. Their well developed facial bristles help funnel insects into the mouth.

Some nighthawks and nightjars sit on roads to collect insects. The heated roadway attracts the insects and the birds wait for their insects to arrive and then snap them up. If you are travelling on a country road at nigh you will sometimes see the birds by their eyeshine, a rich, glowing red that is visible at considerable distances.

In recent years very few nighthawks and nightjars have been heard or seen. The declines have been associated with insecticide use, loss of open habitats, and the use of rubberized roofs instead of the gravel and tar of 25 years ago. The only time we see them now is in their migration fl ocks.

TREE SWALLOWS

Maureen and Richard Brennan saw fl ocks of tree swallows hawking for insects during the day near their home on Dugald road. Richard said that the birds were diffi cult to count be-cause of the aerial manoeuvres the birds do as they follow the insects. The Brennans also notice how quickly the swallows (barn, tree and bank) arrived when a fi eld of dried hay

was being cut. The birds would swoop over the freshly cut hay, catching insects that fl ew up as the haybine passed.

PILEATED WOODPECKERS

Ron Huntley has two immature pileated woodpeckers coming to the trees near his home on the Lanark Road. It is the fi rst time the birds have ventured so close. Ron thinks it may be due to the destruction caused by the micro burst that went through a few weeks ago and destroyed many of the mature trees in the area. Their home may have been among the trees destroyed.

Ron has just returned from a trip to Peru where he says he was able to observe 150 new birds and 250 for the trip. To date he has seen 26 species of hummingbird and the most beautiful is the marvellous spatuletail hummingbird. The male of this species sports two 18 inch (45cm) feather shafts extending from the tail with a spatula-shaped plume on each tip.

Ron said the trip was extremely interesting and informative but also very diffi cult because of the mountain terrain and the long hours.

BALD EAGLES

I was talking with Doug Forgie at John L. Forgie and Sons Concrete Products plant and Doug said that the bald eagles were soaring over the Bonnechere River and the Renfrew landfi ll site in search of food. The plant is situ-ated between the river and the site providing a good vantage point from which to see the birds. He noted that when food became scarce the birds make their rounds of possible food sources the Bonnechere and the landfi ll being two good ones.

During the winter months wolf kills, road kills, and land landfi ll sites are the eagles ̓only source of food. To survive they must spend many hours in air searching for food.

Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, R R 5, Renfrew, Ontario K7V 3Z8 Phone 613-432-2738 or email [email protected]

Metroland supports new online venture SHOP.CA

SHOP.CA is promising Canadians a better way to shop on the Internet.

Torstar, parent company of Metroland Me-dia Group, publisher of The Renfrew Mercury, has invested in the new site which launched this spring.

SHOP.CA offers millions of products in categories such as clothing, house and home, baby and child, electronics, books and e-books, movies and music. And all are sold and shipped within Canada.

The investment will give Torstar an ini-tial stake of approximately 14 per cent with a commitment to increase its interest to 30 per cent over thirty months based on the company achieving certain performance milestones, in exchange for a total investment of up to $6 million in cash and up to $12.4 million in pro-motional support.

“We are proud to have aligned with such an experienced industry leader,” said Drew Green, SHOP.CA CEO and co-founder. “Torstar has a proven track-record of using its media assets to drive online transactions. It is truly exhila-rating to work with a partner who shares our vision to improve the online shopping experi-ence in Canada.”

Torstarʼs promotional support to SHOP.CA will be provided through its many media prop-erties. In addition to the investment, Metroland

Media Group has entered into a strategic alli-ance with SHOP.CA focused on developing the merchant base.

David Holland, president and CEO of Torstar said “e-commerce is an area which is growing rapidly and we are very pleased to be partner-ing with the management team at SHOP.CA to bring a new Canadian alternative to Canadians who shop online.”

The site offers millions of products from many leading brands in over two dozen prod-uct categories. Price, speed of delivery, ease of return, and a rewards program are important aspects that are expected to appeal to Canadian shoppers.

SHOP.CA will also help local businesses access the Canadian online shopping market, where sales are expected to reach $33 billion by 2016.

Retailers and manufacturers can use the site to sell their products, on a cost-per-order basis, to customers across town or across the coun-try.

“Metroland has strong relationships with thousands of local businesses and we think SHOP.CA will be an attractive way to support them in tapping into the growing trend of on-line shopping,” said Metroland president Ian Oliver.

The Scotiabank Bright Fu-ture Program supports a wide range of projects as a way of giving back to local commu-nities.

The program aims to be responsive to the needs of the local community, with a focus on the areas of the arts, education, social services and health care.

One facet of the program is the Team Scotia Commu-nity Program (TSCP), which matches funds raised by teams of employee volunteers for charitable causes.

“Itʼs a great program be-cause it fosters staff involve-ment in the community,” notes Scotiabank Branch Manager Mike Brydges.

At this yearʼs RVH Foun-dation Caring for Tomorrow Charity Golf Tournament, the branchʼs volunteers got in-volved by selling raffl e tickets throughout the day.

“Our staff supports any-thing related to Renfrew Vic-toria Hospital,” comments Brydges. “We not only work in this community, we live here also and access the ser-vices of the hospital.”

The bank also entered a team in the event, one of 40 groups that enjoyed a great day on the fairways and greens of the Renfrew Golf Club.

Since getting involved in this annual event a few years ago, Scotiabankʼs contribu-tions, including 2012, have exceeded $10,000. This yearʼs TSCP portion of $3,500 matches the funds raised by raffl e ticket sales at the June event.

Proceeds of the tournament

will once again be directed towards the Digital Mammog-raphy Fund at RVH. Installa-tion of the new digital equip-ment and renovations to the suite were completed in April, however fundraising to cover the $700,000 price tag is on-going.

“We truly appreciate the great support from the team at Scotiabank. It will go a long way in assisting the Digital Mammography project and defi nitely helped to make this yearʼs event the record-break-er that it was,” notes Barb

Desilets, RVH Foundation Di-rector of Development.

The organizing committee is already at work planning next yearʼs event, but is still overwhelmed with the suc-cess of the 2012 event.

“We are amazed once again by the support of this com-munity. Year after year, it con-tinues to surpass our expecta-tions, and we thank all of the sponsors, donators, volunteers and participants wholeheart-edly,” says Patrick Cayen, Chair of the Charity Golf Classic committee.

Winter in the shanty, a hot-air balloon ride or mustard-picking time.

These are just three of the things you can enjoy as you read about them in the Hen-scratchers ̓ book Pick of the Crop. If you need a laugh, youʼll fi nd lots of entertain-ing, humorous happenings in the collected short stories and poems in this book. Woven throughout are bits of history and reminiscing.

The Henscratchers, a local writing group of 11 members from the Beachburg, Cobden, Westmeath and Renfrew ar-eas, have been sharing their stories and poems with each other for the past nine years and now are offering some of

them to you, along with some photos and illustrations.

You may recognize some of the characters, and even if you donʼt, youʼll enjoy the writ-ings and probably can identify with some of the experiences. These are all short articles that you can read as many or as few at a time as you want – good for busy people! This 182-page book sells for $20 and the profi ts realized from the sales are being donated to Hospice Renfrew in memory of those we have loved.

The book was hot off the press and offered for sale at the recent Beachburg Fair. The fi rst printing sold-out! The Henscratchers intend to order more, based on orders. For more information, call Heather at 613-582-3257 or Eleanor at 613-582-3441.

Pick of the Crop is chock-full of short stories and poems penned by people from the Ottawa Valley known as the Henscratchers. The book sells for $20 and proceeds go to Hospice Renfrew.

Rural Ramble in the Ottawa Valley now online

This fall, Rural Rambling will be easier than ever as the traditional self-guided driving tour goes digital.

The 2012 Rural Ramble is a free online event, running from Sept. 1 to Oct. 31.

The new website, www.theruralramble.ca, will feature an interactive calendar of events which consumers will be able to use to create personalized Rural Rambles.

The annual Rural Ramble is organized by the Ottawa Valley Tourist Association (OVTA), and over the years has grown from a small two day farm tour to a free, on-going festival fea-turing four themes: adventure and exploration, agriculture and food, history and heritage and arts and culture.

The website, designed by Blue North Stu-dios, will showcase special events that take place during the Rural Ramble.

Events and activities will be clustered to-

gether around the Ottawa Valleyʼs signature Roots and Rivers driving routes used in previ-ous fall promotional campaigns.

“Research shows that more and more peo-ple are using online tools to research and plan their trips. 73 per cent of leisure travelers use the internet to get their travel information,” OVTA communications co-ordinator Lauren McIllfaterick, explains.

“With the new website, Rural Ramblers ̓will be able to create, download and print custom-

ized routes based on the themes and locations that interest them the most.”

The new, online format of the Rural Ramble means that printing and distribution costs are reduced.

These savings are being passed onto Rural Ramble sites.

“The cost to submit a Rural Ramble event is free for OVTA members and includes an un-limited number of listings.

Non-OVTA members are also welcome to

participate in the Rural Ramble. The cost to participate for non-members is

$40 for the fi rst listing and $15 for every ad-ditional listing,” said McIllfaterick.

Rural Ramble events are to be submitted online.

Simply create an account on www.therural-ramble.ca and follow the step-by-step submis-sion form.

The consumer portion of the website is still under construction as it is based on the site submissions received. Be sure to check back often as new sites are being added daily.

The Rural Ramble is the perfect opportunity for the cultivation of new friendships and Val-ley hospitality. Come back to the countryside with us!

The Ottawa Valley Tourist Association (OVTA) is the offi cial destination market-ing organization for the Upper Ottawa Valley and proudly represents more than 215 tour-ism businesses, comprised of attractions and events, accommodation, dining and retail es-tablishments, rafting companies and outfi tters, artists and galleries, as well as media and in-dustry suppliers.

Big red onesDrought-like conditions most of the summer haven’t helped farmers, but they haven’t put much of a dent in Barbara Putrycz’s tomato crop. Her front-yard plant in Renfrew has produced at least seven large tomatoes, including one that fell off after reaching more than two pounds. Here are some of the fi ne-tasting whoppers. “I love gardening,” says the 91-year-old, who says she’ll continue to grow fl owers and other gardening delights until she dies. She’s also proud this year of her shamrock plant, which appears to the left.

Relief for peoplePastor Rose Leclaire, right, of Sun-bow Ministries in Mount St. Pat-rick presents a $350 cheque to the Renfrew and District Food Bank. Accepting the donation are food bank president Doug Brookes and fellow volunteer Joan Hewitt. The money, which was collected dur-ing the Bible Proclamation’s heal-ing service July 28, was intended as relief for people. The food bank is open at the Renfrew Armouries the last three Tuesdays of each month. Week 2 is open 9 a.m. to noon, Week 3 noon to 3 p.m., and Week 4 from 3 to 6 p.m.

Itʼs been a wonderful Olympics for Renfrew resident Anita Law, who is enjoying the luxury of supporting athletes from three countries.

As a citizen of all three of those nations, she has been cheering for swimmers Brett and Shaune Fraser of the Cayman Islands, as well as several Olympians for Great Britain and Canada.

But one of her biggest luxuries, says the 40-year-old mother of two children, is that she can now vote.

“I wanted to vote most elections,” said Law, who became a Canadian citizen May 10, 2012 at an Ottawa ceremony. “I fi nally decided to do it in March 2011. I wanted to vote.”

She left her native Britain at age two when her father took a transfer to the Cayman Is-lands. It was expected to be a two-year place-ment with the Bank of Canada that turned out to be closer to 30 years.

During that time Law returned to her home-land to study at the University of Wales.

However, she never met residency require-ments to vote in either country, but that has changed since her move to Canada in 2003.

She, husband Peter and children Zoey and Owen live in Renfrew, where she does public relations and marketing work.

More importantly, she says she has found a home in Canada, which she calls an amazing country.

Much of her love for Canada has to do with social reasons, or what she calls the way people look out for others who are less fortunate.

Also, Canada reminds her a lot of the Cay-man Islands, where people come from all over the world to adopt their new country with open arms.

“I decided to come here because it was a place of opportunity,” she says.

In a brief ceremony last week, Law received a congratulatory certifi cate and a Canadian fl ag from Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant.

“Iʼm going to go home and hang my fl ag up,” she said after the presentation.

“Itʼs a very nice welcome and it very defi -nitely gives me a sense of being part of a com-munity.”

Gallant said itʼs quite an accomplishment to receive oneʼs Canadian citizenship, especially because of the more stringent multiple-choice test that candidates must now pass.

“You have dedicated much time and effort toward acquiring your Canadian Citizenship and becoming part of our wonderful nation,” said a signed certifi cate from Gallant.

“Canada is a country full of opportunities and prosperity. As you celebrate this special

Now I can vote, exclaims new Canadian citizen

Former NDP leader Jack Layton to be honoured at Friends for Peace Day

On the 10th anniversary of Friends for Peace Day, MP Olivia Chow will receive a posthu-mous Peace Award on behalf of her late hus-band Jack Layton.

Peace awards are given annually to outstand-ing citizens.

Orkidstra have commissioned composer James Wright to create a song from Jack Lay-tonʼs letter to the nation. Orkidstra open the af-ternoon program on Sept. 29 at 2 p.m. and will sing this tribute to Layton.

Friends for Peace Day will be celebrated at Jean Pigott Place at Ottawaʼs city hall. Itʼs a day to celebrate the consciousness of peace, social justice and planetary care rather than be-moan their scarcity.

There will be music, speeches, dancing, food and a chance to learn and connect. Donations fund “peace grants” to organizations making a difference. In Ottawa, the grants include the Multi-Faith Housing Initiative, the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre, Child Haven Interna-tional, Peace Camp Ottawa and Physicians for Global Survival. Globally, there are projects supported in Africa, India and Nepal.

The morning onstage program starts at 11a.m. with a piper and walkers for peace, Metis wel-come and the Dandelion Dance Company

There is no admission fee and donations will be accepted.

The Helferty Family will be performing at the Bonnechere Museum in Eganville on Sat-urday, Aug. 25 at 11 a.m.

Band members include parents L.J. and Joan, and the six youngest members of the family, Stephen, Catherine, Rachel, Christine, Molly and Emily. They enjoy playing a variety of music including country, folk, Irish, jazz, and pop, along with the occasion-al original song.Rachel and Christine will be away visit-ing their older sister in Cal-gary on Aug. 25, but the rest of the band will still be sure to entertain museum guests.

The Bonnechere Museum congratulates winners of its annual photo contest that at-tracted a great number of votes and many close ties.

The winner in the action

category was young Jack Emond with his silhouette of a child jumping into a lake at sunset. The winner for the black and white category was Brandon Prince with his photo of chutes on the Bonnechere River. The landscape category winner was Paul Prince with his sunny shot of water over a natural rock wall. Princeʼs action photo of a frog swim-ming won the overall title and will be turned into a postcard soon available at the museum. The winners will each receive a museum prize package.

“Thank you to all who voted and participated. Many beautiful photo submissions made voting a tough task for visitors,” say museum staff. “We look forward to seeing the photos next yearʼs contest will bring.”

1912: Harvest excursion draws 41AUGUST 23, 1912

THE HARVESTER EX-CURSION: For the harvest excursion on Friday last, 41 were ticketed at Renfrew, by Mr. James Clark. On Tuesday of this week the following re-ceived transportation from him for western points; R Hughes to Vancouver, L.M. Carswell, A.H. Milhern to Moose Jaw, W.M. Fraser, Chas. Murphy, P.J. Frood, H.A. Smart to Ed-monton, J.P. Kirwan, Frank Angus, and Mrs. Chas Hayes of Hopefi eld to Medicine Hat, J.A. Allan and Mrs. Allan to Winnipeg, George McQuitty to Asquith, Rev. F. French of Brudenell to Victoria, and Mrs. Foley to Echo, B.C.

RENFREW A HIVE OF BUILDING: Downtown is the industrial hive these days. With Power Development, the steady rising of the walls of the addition to the Logan Bros. Woollen Mill and the commencement of excavation of the Textile Companyʼs fac-tory near the Dempsey store within a stoneʼs throw of the Bonnechere. Mr. D.H. McAn-drew has the part two on his mind, and when there are too many things to think of all at once, he simply shoves the motor boat onto Lake McAn-drew and in a few moments is leaving care behind him as the clover-laden breezes from the banks of the river envelope him. The Bonnechere is now a fi ne pleasure course, since the waters have been raised by the dam.

AUGUST 19, 1937

ROAD IN RENFREW COUNTY ADDED TO KINGʼS HIGHWAY: Notice is given in the current issue of the Ontario Gazette that pur-suant to the provisions of the Highway Improvement Act the road in the County of Ren-frew being the Combermere-Pembroke road easterly and thence north easterly across the Township of Radcliffe

OLGA LEWISFROM THE OLD FILES

from the easterly limit of the County of Hastings, thence southwesterly across the southeast part of the township of Richards, Fraser, Alice and Stafford to the south westerly limit of the town of Pembroke, is to be assumed as the Kingʼs Highway to become and be vested in the crown and under the control of the Department of Highways.

WORK ON COUMBES STREET: Residence No 732 at the corner of Barr and Coumbes streets is coming down, in connection with Coumbes Street improvement. The Archembault residence adjoining is to remain stand-ing, but will be moved back several feet. Rock displaced in Coumbes Street through blasting operations is carried on trucks to the foot of Pat-rick Street to there be used in a fi lling in process. The rock is covering up a couple of old cars dumped there.

AUGUST 24, 1977

MILL UNDER CON-STRUCTION: Construction of the planning mill and fi ve storage buildings is continu-ing at Gillies Lumber Mill Ltd. with Gillies expectedly one line of the planning mill to be put into operation today. Dan Smith, sales manager at Gillies, said that technicians on the site were busy put-ting other fi nishing touches on the planning line Monday and Tuesday. Mr. Smith said construction of the structure has been completed and that employers of Anderson Blow-pipe Co., Vancouver, B.C. are in the fi nal process of erecting the blower system. The six concrete and structural steel buildings are being construct-ed to replace the planning mill that burned last October. The new investment will total 11 million dollars and will give Gillies a total of 12 acres un-der roofs.

OMB APPROVES GROUP HOME: The Ontario Munici-pal Board, August 18 gave its stamp of approval for a group

home at 874 Raglan Street. The two and a half storey home will be used up by the eight adults under the care of the Renfrew and District As-sociation for the Mentally Re-tarded. The municipal board had called the hearing in re-sponse to objections to a spot rezoning allowing such a use. Municipal Board member C. Gebers QC delivered his rul-ing at the two hour meeting. Mr. Gebers answered each objection in summary, follow-ing a tabling of information in favour of the residence as well as listening to the objections. According to the association, the group home will follow a provincial defi nition which describes a group home as a small family type home for adults, working in a sheltered semi-sheltered or independent employment, and requiring assistance with some personal and social needs.

Peek into the past

Central Public memories from 1949: Kenny Parent of Renfrew provided this photograph of his 1948-49 kindergarten class at Cen-tral Public School. It was taken just before the sum-mer break of 1949. In those days, he says, there was a lot more snow; horses were plentiful, pulling sleighs and cutters that winter; and there no sidewalks during his walk from the far end of the fairgrounds to school. He can’t remember all of his schoolmates, but can iden-tify a few in the front row. They are, himself, second from left; Donald Smith, who now lives in western Canada, fourth from left; Warren Burton, fourth from right; and Andy Smith, sec-ond from right.

It was a chance to relive some memorable British his-tory during Bonnechere Man-orʼs Diamond Jubilee Heritage Tea last Thursday.

Nineteenth-century period costumes, mostly made by Joan Headrick of White Lake, were worn by several partici-pants, as the auditorium was a splash of colour, bustles, hoops, tiaras and Prince Al-bertʼs top hat.

Prince Albert, who was Queen Victoriaʼs husband, was played by staff member Denver Mullen. Prince Wil-liam and Princess Kate also made appearances. They were played by recent Renfrew Col-legiate Institute grad Charlie Bossy and Our Lady of Fa-tima Catholic School student Delaney Leavoy.

“Itʼs fun, but it makes you glad that you live in the 19th century because the clothes are so warm,” said Dorothy Young, who wore a vibrant pink dress from that period.

The event was also a fund-raiser for drapes and/or the sound system in the new man-

or auditorium, where the tea took place.

The old manor had an au-ditorium that was central to the residents ̓lives. By all ac-counts, the current manorʼs new auditorium will also be integral to their spirit and ac-tivities.

About 150 people attended the tea. For $10, each received sandwiches, squares and tea in the hall that was fi lled with conversation as Nicole Hass played tunes on the keyboard. The sandwiches also included the good old English favourite of cucumber slices and cream cheese.

Tea servers were Bon-nechere Manor director of care Vi Rossy, manor founda-tion member Lee Sharpe, past Renfrew mayor Sandi Heins and author Mary Cook. Carol Sulpher, who one of the peri-od costumes with a signifi cant hoop, was among those serv-ing squares.

Many of the costumes came from Joan Headrick who has made several of over the years for the Waba Museumʼs an-nual tea.

“I like it because itʼs kind of taking us back to a kinder,

gentler time when they had more time to dress up,” said Headrick, who attended the event in period costume.

Many of her hoops used for Thursdayʼs tea were 1850s and 1860s style, while the bustles have an 1880s authentic-ity. The late 1880s were also home to the reign of Queen Victoria, whose diamond jubi-lee reign ended with her death in 1901. And this year, Queen Elizabethʼs diamond jubilee is being celebrated.

“It tells us that people en-joy teas,” said heritage tea co-ordinator Eleanor Donaldson while looking around the hall.

“We used to have teas at the old manor,” said the member of the manor foundation and manor auxiliary, who later learned the event raised about $1,500.

“Itʼs a way to socialize. People can come and do their visiting, but with heritage cos-tumes … Iʼm glad I didnʼt have to wear those heavy gowns, but theyʼre beautiful and they add to the atmosphere.

“And, of course, itʼs anoth-er way to use our auditorium and show the community what weʼre doing.”

Sunny weather, spirits as SkiAbility takes to the MadawaskaSherry [email protected]

EMC lifestyle - The only thing brighter than the sun that shone Sunday at Burnstown Beach were the smiles on the faces of Community Living participants and other water-skiers taking advantage of the annual SkiAbility Ottawa clinic.

Russ and Chris Holden of the Manotick-based program have been hauling equipment and boats to the Madawaska River each year since 2005.

“Really, anyone can ski,” said Chris Holden, son of the fa-ther/son team that works each year to get people out on the wa-ter having fun and challenging themselves. “Itʼs about getting out there and doing it.”

Equipment and instruction are as varied as the mental and physical challenges faced by the skiers and considerable time is spent on practicing and ensuring participants are safe and com-fortable.

The objective, says Chris Holden, is to provide a safe, fun, successful learning experience for all persons with a disability regardless of their previous watersport experiences.

Age and disability are not limitations, said Chris, they merely change the approach to the sport.

“We pride ourselves and really work hard on making it an independent experience as much as possible,” said Chris.

Boats are equipped with a ski boom to optimize learning and training and based on ability, participants choose sit-skiing, stand-up skiing, wakeboard, or barefoot

Each skierʼs experience is examined and notes taken. “We look at ʻWhat did we do? What did we do well? ̓and ʻWhat do we want to improve on?ʼ”

Rebekka Zimmerling of Renfrew had skied before and was raring to go Sunday at noon when she arrived at the dock. She had a run of assisted skiing alongside Holden before he hopped into the boat and she went it alone.

An exuberant Rebekka climbed aboard the boat, tired and thrilled from the experience.

“It was just great,” she said, with a fi rm two thumbs up.Camilo Acero of Toronto had learned of the program online

several years ago and this year crossed the long-time goal off his bucket list, travelling all the way to Burnstown for the experi-ence.

“It was amazing,” said Acero, sitting in his wheelchair on the dock after his river run. “I was in an accident 20 years ago and before that I used to waterski as a hobby. The fi rst time out to-day was exactly the same – the water, the speed, the wind in my face.”

He credited the Holdens and SkiAbility for the amazing op-portunity and said he was defi nitely interested in keeping up with waterskiing.

SkiAbility Ottawa is a not-for-profi t, volunteer-driven orga-nization that serves the Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec regions and accepts persons with any type or level of disability, any age, and at any experience level. The program accepts par-ticipants at the novice level and up and has a competitive stream including world class athletes.

Funding is achieved through user fees, donations and spon-sorship.

Olympian Melissa Bishop of Eganville will be honoured on Sunday, Sept. 2 with a home-coming parade.

The parade will start at the Legion Field at 1:30 p.m. and proceed through the village to the community centre, where a reception will be held in honour of the 2012 Olympic middle-distance runner.

Bishop, who competed in the 800 metres in London, will address the crowd and sign auto-graphs. There will also be brief addresses from local dignitaries and special presentations.

This past track and fi eld season, Bishop be-

came only third woman to break the coveted two-minute barrier in the two-lap race.

BROKE MAGIC 2:00 BARRIER

She ran 1:59.82 en route to earning Olym-pic status. She and teammate Jessica Smith of North Vancouver both raced the 800 in Lon-don. Bishop was eliminated in the opening round, while Smith advanced to the second, or semi-fi nal, round.

An estimated 700 spectators crowded into the Eganville arena Aug. 8 to watch televised

coverage of the Olympics and cheer Bishop on during her Olympic debut.

“This is going to be such a great event (Sept. 2) for the community and a wonderful welcom-ing home event for Melissa,” said Bonnechere Valley Township Mayor Jennifer Murphy in a news release.

PAINT THE PLACE RED

Everyone who has purchased a Team Me-lissa T-shirt is encouraged to wear them to the parade. If you donʼt have one, then you are en-

couraged to wear red tops.Bishop, 24, will ride in a horse-drawn car-

riage driven by Tom Redmond of Cobden. Anyone interested in participating in the pa-rade is asked to be at the Legion Field by 12:30 p.m.

Owners of antique and classic cars and trucks and local teamsters are invited to par-ticipate in the parade. Families, businesses and organizations are also encouraged to enter the parade and make the event a memorable one.

For more details, call Brian Weckwerth at 613-628-3192 or Joe Moore at 613-628-2315.

Tough loss for OVGA match-play defending championSteve [email protected]

Defending champion Coo-per Brown, of Renfrew, was a fi rst-round casualty in the Ot-tawa Valley Golf Associationʼs junior match-play champion-ships Aug. 13.

He and Renfrew Golf Club teammate Stephane Paré, of

Fort-Coulonge, Que., both lost their opening-round matches on an extra hole. Paré lost his to Carson Scissons of the host Mississippi Golf Club in Appleton, just outside Carle-ton Place.

“I just hit a bad shot on 18 that cost me the match,” said Brown, 17, who was playing Nolan Windsor of the River-

mead Golf Club. Brown hit a long drive on the

fi rst extra hole, but “chunked” a 50-yard sand wedge to the green.

Leading by one shot, he had a 10-footer for par to clinch the match, but lipped out.

On the extra hole, Brown was still in position to win.

“I hit a perfect shot, but my

second shot was long into the bunker,” said Brown, whose sand shot left him with a 10-footer to stay in the hunt. He missed the putt, while Windsor two-putted from 10 feet to advance to the quarter-fi nals.

“It just proves that you can never take for granted what you have,” said the defending

champion. “I putted poorly and I didnʼt

have the right mindset. I think I was a little mentally drained (from lots of recent tourna-ment play),” added Brown, who won his fi rst-ever Ren-frew Golf Club open menʼs championship Aug. 12.

Nicholas Caron of River-mead Golf Club went on to reach the OVGA match-play fi nal, for 14- to 18-year-olds, after winning his fi rst three

matches. Caron defeated Joey Irvin of the Mississippi in the fi rst round 1-up, Dylan Mc-Namara of Rivermead 3-and-2 and Nolan Windsor of River-mead on an extra hole.

The other fi nalist, Isaac Li-eff of Rideau View, won the fi nal 2-and-1.

But fi rst he defeated Josh Goheen of Hylands 5-and-4, Chris Packman of Ottawa Hunt 2-and-1, and Nicholas Brise-bois of Eagle Creek 3-and-1.

The Renfrew Golf Club’s junior team captured the 2012 Blakely Cup Aug. 8 on the home course. The annual tournament features teams from Renfrew, Mississippi, Arnprior, Pembroke and Deep River and dates back to the 1960s. The last time Renfrew held the Cup was 1995. In front, from left, are Josh Barnes and Isaac Horner; and standing, Car-son Barber, Mike Bradley, Stephane Pare, Braeden Cameron, Cooper Brown, Christopher McClure and Jonah O’Connor.

Big crowds for minor ballfi nals in McNab-Braeside

McNab-Braeside minor ball wrapped up its season July 14 as more than 300 attended McNab Centre Park ball diamonds to watch family and friends play in the fi nal games.

The hot day began with coaches leading the Tim Hortons T-Ball players in the kick-off pa-rade followed by the players standing for the national anthem.

It wasn’t long before the eager fi ve-pitch players and families arrived for their game. The Canadian Tire team led the division to be champions for the league and playoffs. McAl-lister Ford and Stoneworks were close behind with signifi cant improvements over the year as well.

The mites division had an exciting year. Stoneworks topped the league and went on to win both their games, fi nishing fi rst in the play-offs to automatically qualify for championship game.

Magnetsigns challenged Coady’s Home Im-provements to an extra three-innings (2.5-hour game), before Coady’s took second place in the playoff round to qualify to meet Stonework in Saturday’s fi nal.

COADY’S RALLY IN MITES FINAL

Stoneworks came out strongly and led the game early, but Coady’s came from behind to win the game in the fi nal inning.

The peewee division was combined boy and girls to make a four-team loop, with close games all season.

R&D Insurance won the league, but GP Ser-vice Station fought hard in the playoff round and again in the championship game. Howev-er, R&D was able to hold on for the win.

The Yellow Jackets played a tight exciting game and overtook OPG in the fi nal inning of the B Championship Game.

COACH OF THE YEAR

The Les Lavallee Coach of the Year Award was presented to mites coach Pat Ryan by con-venor Brian Armsden. Ryan also co-coaches the Mites Selects Team.

The league thanks convenors Lisa Conway (T-Ball), Jeff Clattenburg (5-Pitch), Brian Armsden (mites), Ken Corbin (peewee), Duane Clouthier (peewee), Christina Howard (pitch-ing clinic), Adam Rueckwald (umpire schedu-lar) and Gayle Corbin (umpire treasurer).

It also thanks Percy and associates for oper-ating the canteen and donating funds to Minor Ball Association.

A special thank-you goes to the many play-ers, families, sponsors and McNab-Braeside Township. All are key to the success of the program.

The 2012 sponsors were Ontario Power Generation, Tim Hortons and Coady’s Home Improvements.

Good Luck to the Squirt Boys Selects team (coaches Duane Clouthier and Joe Shean) and the Mites Selects team (coaches Brian Arms-den and Pat Ryan) as they proceed to represent the McNab-Braeside Minor Ball Association in local upcoming tournaments.

GIRLS DIVISION

The Senior Girls Division wrapped up its di-vision by July 19.

McNab Mavericks fi nished fi rst in the league, while the Metro team won the playoff round. Sandy’s Beauty Salon followed in third place.

Registration for the 2013 season will be March 15 to April 15 next year.

The 29th annual 2 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group (2 CMBG) Ironman will attract a record 600 soldiers. Sept. 6 is the non-competitive race day and Sept. 7 the competitive race day for the event at Cana-dian Forces Base Petawawa.

The event is a unique mili-tary endurance race that cov-ers a 50-km course. It features a rucksack march, canoe por-tage, canoe paddle and ruck-sack sprint.

As a way of thanking Ca-nadians for the support given to the soldiers of 2 CMBG throughout the years, com-petitors are raising money in support of the Tim Horton Childrenʼs Foundation.

For the last 18 years, the foundation has sent children from Petawawa and points across Canada to Tim Hor-ton Summer Camps, thus fostering the same values of perseverance, dedication and

triumph over adversity as the Ironman competition itself.

On both days, the race will start at 4 a.m. at Dundonald Hall. An award ceremony will be held at the hall in the after-noon.

The public can pledge sup-port to participating soldiers by visiting the 2 CMBG Iron-man Tim Horton Childrenʼs Foundation donation website at www.thcfpetawawairon-man.com

The regionʼs largest golf event, with 700 competitors and 11 divisions, included last weekʼs fi rst of two rounds of the Absolute Comedy C City Championships at Renfrewʼs Dragonfl y Golf Links.

Leading the way were Sean Debeau and Mat Forrest of Renfrew.

They carded a scramble score of six-under par, a shot clear of the pairs of Ja-son Tilley-Lee Noonan, Bill Young-Ian White, and Fer-nand Asselin-Tony George.

Fourteen teams advanced to the second round Saturday at Club de golf Outaouais.

The last qualifi ers were Troy Monaghan and John de Vroome. They fi nished at one-over, then prevailed on the sixth hole of a fi ve-team playoff.

FOREST AND DEBEAU SECOND

Combined with Saturdayʼs play, Forrest and Debeau emerged second with a fi nal score of fi ve-under. The win-ning twosome was Corey Do-menico and Nick Brunet at eight-under.

The multi-division event also featured the junior open, ladies open and ladies B and C events Thursday, at Kempt-villeʼs eQuinelle course, where Dragonfl y juniors Jo-nah OʼConnor, Trevor Voogt and Chris McClure teed up.

Fridayʼs Flagstaff Open at GreyHawk in Cumberland included the Dragonfl y entry of club manager Andrew Dick and club pro Gary Graveline.

They shot two-under to miss the cut by fi ve strokes.

PLEASED TO BE A HOST

Dick said he was pleased to see Dragonfl y hosting part of the huge tournament.

“Dragonfl y Golf Links hosted a top-notch tournament

for the 120 golfers competing (Tuesday),” said Andy Ra-jhathy, vice-president of Ex-ecutive Golf and co-organizer of the Ottawa Sun Scramble.

“Their staff and grounds crew blew us away with the service we received.”

The tournament also fea-tured a Promomedia B event Aug. 15 at Le Sorcier in

Dragonfl y Golf Links in the thick of Ottawa Sun ScrambleGatineau and Championship Sunday at Eagle Creek Golf Club in Dunrobin.

The Ottawa Sun Scramble was launched in 2005 with an

open and senior event at Eagle Creek.

The tournament is conduct-ed by Executive Golf, a local golf-promotion fi rm.

ANDREW DICK/DRAGONFLY LINKS

Sean Debeau, left, and Mat Forrest head out on Dragon-fl y Golf Links for the Ottawa Sun Scramble Aug. 14. They were the top team among 59 twosomes, with a six-under score, to advance to the city title event at the Club de golf Outaouais.

So I was giving some thought the other day to Grandparents but not in the way you may think. I was more pondering the unusual habits they had. You know the ones I am talking about. The strange things you would see them doing that made absolutely no sense but you think…ahhh…that makes perfect sense now! Some of these practices were cute but some were just down right weird.

I am not sure what is so fascinating about Kleenex but when I was going through my grandma’s clothes after she passed away, I found Kleenex in every pant, skirt and shirt pocket she owned. I can distinctly remember my other grandmother always kept several pieces hidden away in her brassiere. Stuffing was certainly not necessary but I now know that you can never be sure when a drippy nose will begin. I now understand to have a Kleenex at the ready creates peace of mind. Funny, I catch myself placing handfuls of the stuff in my pockets anytime I leave home.

A friend of mine recalled that her grandmother labelled everything with the names of her relatives who should receive the items in the event of her untimely death. She found this a little creepy but

when grandma passed away, it made life easier for all when they knew for certain exactly what grandma wanted them to have.

One resident at Island View recalls her grandfather collecting garden cuttings from every place he travelled around the world. That would probably not be allowed now due to import restrictions on plant material but I bet he had one of the best gardens in his community.

Ken, our volunteer, remembers his grandpa instructing him to “go through everything” after his grandma passed away because she had the habit of hiding various sums of money around their apartment. When the time came, Ken remembers finding cash under carpets, in coat pockets, buried underneath rose scented paper in dresser drawers and finding money wrapped in plastic bags in the motor section of their refrigerator!

A relative of a resident at Island View shared with me that her grandmother always kept a safety pin securely pinned to her knickers be-cause you never know when you will need the quick repair

that a safety pin can provide.

Listening to death notices on the radio was another odd habit. Whenever these notices would come on the radio, no matter what was go-ing on, my friend’s grandma would say loudly “QUIET” and no one was allowed to talk until all the deaths were announced.

But the best one yet that I heard, was a resident’s grandma who used to set an alarm clock when her father was courting her mother. If he overstayed his welcome, the alarm would ring loudly warning him it was time to take his leave.

What kind of quirky behav-iours do you have that are making your kids or grandchil-dren think, “Wow that is really weird!”

Stan McCormackRenfrew Shuffl eboard Club

And you thought shuffl e-board was only played in Ren-frew County.

In fact, players from seven

countries just wound up the 31st International Shuffl e-board Association World Championships in Seattle, Wash., on Aug. 10.

The very fi rst such event was held in Muskegon, Mich,.

in 1981 with only Canada, Japan and the United States represented.

Participants in Seattle also included Renfrew Shuffl e-board Club members Stan and Lois McCormack of Calabo-

International presence for Renfrew Shuffl eboard Club pairgie. Each captained United Nations teams, which consist-ed of players from different countries.

The competing countries were Australia, Brazil, Cana-da, Germany, Japan, Norway and the U.S. In addition we had a mixed youth team made up of representatives from those countries.

The fi ve full days of com-

petition were supplemented with plenty of social events, as men and women competed independently of each other.

At the awards banquet it was announced Canada East women and Canada East men had fi nished fi rst. Most of their team players were from the Fergus, Ont., area. As the gold medals were presented, the audience responded with

applause, handshakes and hugs.

The international event is a fi ne example of the promotion of harmony among nations through sport.

Shuffl eboard takes place every Tuesday at 1 p.m. in the Air Force Association of Canada (AFAC) building, 164 Argyle St., Renfrew. For more details, call 613-752-1311.

HICKEY, Daniel

(Teacher, Arnprior & District High School)It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Daniel Joseph Hickey of Arnprior on Monday evening, August 13th 2012 at the age of 54 years. We find some comfort in knowing he has been received into the loving arms of his late mother, Audrey (nee Mears). He will be sadly missed by his father, Joseph Hickey (D’Ann Huth). Devoted husband and best friend of Rennie (nee VandenBerg). Proud and loving father to Joseph (Caroline Wang) and Meaghan (Jake Fraser). Dearly loved brother of Laurie Robertson (Norm), Brian Hickey (Cathy) and Mary Ellen Procher (Gord). Loved son-in-law of Louise VandenBerg. Dear brother-in-law of Rutger VandenBerg (Dolores), Lucy Wachowicz (Dan) and Marie Salcioglu. He will be missed by his many nieces and nephews and countless friends. Dan was a passionate fisherman and avid outdoorsman always seeking a new lucrative fishing hole or adventure. A teacher by profession, his natural ability to instruct extended well beyond the classroom and his willingness to help others was always clearly evident. He will be remembered by those closest to him through his mantra to “work hard, play hard and be nice to everybody.” Family and friends are invited to pay their respects at the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior on Friday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated in St. John Chrysostom Church, Arnprior on Saturday morning, August 18th, 2012 at 10 o’clock.
