The footprint for Admaston-Bromley’s municipal building expansion and retrofit is clear. The hole in the ground speaks for itself.

But how the project can be completed without crippling municipal finances, given a pending cost over-run, is muddy.

At council’s last regular meeting, Admas-ton-Bromley Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe noted the tremendous challenge the township faces in meeting its one-third share of the over-run.

The township faces a similar challenge with street reconstruction in Douglas.

In an Oct. 16 letter to minister of agri-culture, food and rural affairs Leona Dom-bowsky, as well as federal transport minister John Baird, Briscoe described the township as grateful and very fortunate to receive money from both the Building Canada Fund and the Infrastructure Stimulus Fund.

The catch, however, is that both projects have exceeded budget estimates.

And while provincial and federal pockets are deeper, the small rural municipality has limited access to tax revenue.

“We are asking if consideration can be given to additional funding assistance,” said Briscoe in her letter.

Admaston-Bromley has a population of

2,713 and 1,345 households.“Approximately one-third of our land base

is designated intensive agriculture land Class 1, 2 and 3 under the Land Inventory Act, there-fore is a treasured food production area,” she said.

The township’s total budget levy for 2009 is $864,500.

“Our over-run for both projects will be approximately $183,000 minimum, above and beyond the matching funds,” she explained.

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski has meanwhile backed Admas-ton-Bromley’s efforts to preserve provincial mitigation funding.

“This situation is not acceptable. It will leave municipalities bankrupt,” Yakabuski said of cuts to mitigation funding.

“This funding provides much-needed sup-port to the County of Renfrew, and munici-palities all across the province, in their ad-ministration of important provincial social programs through the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund (OMPF),” said an Oct. 22 news release from MPP Yakabuski’s offi ce.

He called upon the province to postpone change “until a fair and equitable arrange-ment can be made with municipalities and not leave them hanging by a thread.”

If the cut is imposed Admaston-Brom-ley will lose $268,000 from a total tax levy of $864,000.

Ways to avoid part ofHST for funeral services

STEVE [email protected]

Ontario residents will pay more taxes when the harmonized sales tax goes into effect next summer. But there will be a few ways to get around paying the dreaded HST.

As of July 2010, Ontario residents will pay a combined harmonized sales tax of 13 per cent − a combination of eight per cent provincial sales tax (PST) and fi ve per cent goods and service tax (GST).

The worst news is many services, once charged only PST or GST, will now be subject to both. Funeral services are included in that category, and staff at funeral homes are bracing for the negative reaction.

Lobbying is unlikely to

change the government’s mind on the HST, but this month the Ontario Liberal government decided to grandfather in the lower taxation rates for funeral services paid before July 1, 2010.

Consequently, funeral service staff, such as funeral director Natasha Goulet of Goulet Funeral Home in Renfrew, are advising clients and potential clients to pay in advance.

Many Ontario residents already do.

About one in four Ontario funerals are prepaid, with more than $1.38 billion sitting in trust to cover the eventual cost of services, reported the Toronto Star last week. In 2008 there were 224,257 prepaid funeral contracts

in Ontario. Goulet says a number

of their clients have paid for funeral services several years in advance, allowing the payment to gather interest in trust and help pay for infl ationary increases.

Some of their clients who are still alive, did pre-payment, even before the news of HST, back in the 1980s, says Goulet.

In an informal Goulet Funeral Home survey of about 50 families, only two families knew anything about how the HST will increase funeral costs.

The hike is substantial. If a funeral costs $8,000, current taxes of $400 would jump to $1,040 by July 2010.

Continued from Page 2Haircuts, new homes, lawn

care, snow removal and cars will also fall into this higher, harmonized-sales-tax bracket.

So will gasoline, home heating fuel, legal fees and scores of other services.

Products that will remain exempt from the eight per cent provincial position of the HST include books, feminine hygiene products, movie tickets, diapers, children’s clothing, airfares within Canada, and booster seats.

The Ontario government is allowing grandfathered prepayments for long-term newspaper and magazine subscriptions. At present, those subscriptions are only subject to GST.

Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia each grandfathered pre-paid funeral contracts when they introduced HST.

The HST is also coming next summer to British Columbia, where nearly nine of 10 B.C. residents opposed the newest tax in a recent Ipsos Reid poll. B.C.’s HST will be 12 per cent.

Cost-cuttingstrategies

Turn back clocks, check smoke detectorsJOHN CARTER

[email protected]’s time to ‘fall back’ this

weekend. It’s also a good time to change the batteries in your smoke detectors.

Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 a.m. this Sunday, Nov. 1, so turn your clocks back an hour before turning in Saturday.

This means it will become darker quicker at night but be lighter earlier in the morning.

Renfrew fire chief Guy Long-tin suggests that as people go about the house changing their clocks, they also change batter-ies in smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.

“Change your clock, change your battery,” he said.

Longtin said for those who didn’t check their detectors’ bat-teries earlier this month during fire prevention week, the clock change is a easy-to-remember

time to put in new batteries.Seniors or anyone having

trouble switching their batter-ies can call the fire department to come out and do it for them, he added.

If your detectors are live-wired, they still should be tested monthly regularly and batteries changed at least once a year if they have a battery back-up.

The Renfrew Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police are investigating a collision on Chenaux Road in Whitewater Region, west of Renfrew, that resulted in a portion of Chenaux Road being closed to traffi c on Tuesday, Oct. 27.

A pedestrian was struck by a vehicle which failed to remain at the scene.

The victim has been airlifted to the Ottawa Hospital.A detour was in effect, with traffi c rerouted on Queens Line

Road and Mineview Road.

Our nation seems to be gripped by a choice that could lay the groundwork for how a flu pandemic affects our population.

To vaccinate or not to vaccinate?Concerns about immunizations are

nothing new. Concerned theorists have long claimed that vaccines can lead to anything from autism to Alzheim-er’s Disease, theories that have been debunked or seriously questioned by the scientific community.

The latest vaccine scare comes courtesy of a compound added to the H1N1 flu shot to bolster the effective-ness of the vaccine.

Since vaccines only contain part of the flu virus, they often cannot stimu-late a full immune response (especially in those with weak immune systems), so an adjuvant is added to stimulate that immune response.

The H1N1 vaccine, called Arepan-rix, contains an adjuvant called AS03, which consists of squalene (shark liver oil). Here is where the contro-versy comes in.

Some people claim that squalene, which was also used in the anthrax vaccine, was to blame for Gulf War syndrome.

The evidence of this is weak,

according to the scientific community. For a detailed article about vaccines and adjuvants, pick up the October issue of Scientific American.

There are also concerns about the amount of mercury in each dose of the virus. A small amount – 25 micro-grams – of mercury is added to the vials to avoid contamination, since each vial contains multiple doses of vaccine. That amount is slightly less than what you would ingest in a tuna sandwich.

Another detail sure to fan the flames of debate is the news that the H1N1 vaccine was not tested in any Canadian studies before its approval, according to the Ottawa Citizen.

Instead, the government relied on a Belgian study of 130 healthy adults ages 18 to 60 who were injected with the same version and brand of the vaccine that will be used in Canada.

It’s the first time the adjuvant has been used in a flu vaccine in Canada, but Health Canada spokespeople said the squalene adjuvant has been tested in approximately 45,000 people around the world and has been evaluated by Canada and other regulatory authori-ties as part of the pre-pandemic review for a vaccine for the avian flu (H5N1).

On the heels of this news comes a survey that suggests 38 per cent of Canadians say they are not at all likely or not very likely to get the vaccina-tion. That figure sent health officials into a frenzy to reduce confusion and make the case for people to get vac-cinated.

“There is a very real risk of the flu,” said Canada’s chief public health officer, Dr. David Butler Jones, during a press conference last week.

“Even in its mildest form, it’s mis-erable and, at its worst, it kills or puts into ICUs and on ventilator support perfectly healthy young people. The choice is simple: a safe and effective preventative vaccine or a very real risk of disease. “If we get the real facts out about the vaccine, you will almost certainly choose immunization.”

Still, that is a choice that every-one will have to make for themselves, and it is everyone’s responsibility to ensure they are informed about the risks and benefits of the vaccine – and the risks of the H1N1 flu.

You are encouraged to talk to your health-care provider for the facts, call Telehealth at 1-866-797-0000, or con-tact the Renfrew County and District Health Unit.

Brian Eady sent me images of bracket fungi with the distinctive appearance of being varnished. In some texts they are called Lacquered Polypore (many openings). Others call them Varnished Polypore. In China and Ja-pan they are called Ling Chih and used for medical pur-poses. The Latin name for it is Gadoderma lucidum.

The particular species that Brian saw and photo-graphed is called Hemlock Varnished Shelf. The bracket is soft, corky, fl at, divided into wedges, shiny with a var-nished reddish cap. The underside is white and in some specimens the edges are white as well.

The cap may be from 2 to 12 inches (5 to 30 cm) wide, kidney or fan-shaped and from shiny reddish orange, to brownish red to black. The varnished appearance is caused by the stain from elected spores. The spores, which grow into new plants, are resistant to heat, cold, drought and other adverse conditions. These fungi re-main in a resting state until the environment is favour-able for development or germination.

The brackets of some species of the family are highly decorative. These specimens can be removed from the tree and dried to make decorative wall shelves. Other species grow for many years on living hosts, reaching impressive dimensions, 20 to 30 inches (50-75 cm).

Growth of the Hemlock Varnish Shelf is from May to November and they may overwinter in their shelf form but they usually disintegrate in late fall. They range from southern Ontario east to the Maritimes and south to the midwestern United States.

The Hemlock Varnish Shelf is most often found in co-niferous wood, especially hemlock spruce and pine.

Look for them this fall should you be out hiking or hunting.

BOXELDER BUGS RETURNBill McLaughlin noticed a few Boxelder bugs on the

siding of his home in Renfrew. So far they have not been the nuisance bugs they have been in the past few years.

The bugs are often called “Maple bugs” because they feed on the seeds of Manitoba Maple trees. In other parts of the continent the trees are called boxelder, thus the name. The bugs are black with red markings on the outer edge of the wings, have a red abdomen and are about a half inch (1 cm) long. The young are bright red and remain immobile until they get their wings.

GIANT WATER BUGThe Giant Water Bug is our largest aquatic insect

and a very intimidating looking creature. The body is about two inches (50 mm) long and the legs add another

inch (30 cm). They are able to swim underwater to catch small fi sh, tadpoles and insect larvae. These mobile bugs are capable of bat-like fl ight and are attracted to outside lights at night. Although not fast fl iers, they are able to catch fl ying insects in fl ight.

The large front legs are used to grasp prey and hold it while the juices are sucked from the luckless victim. They propel themselves through the water with two pairs of powerful swimming legs. Their large front legs will give you a bite that hurts but they do not go out of their way to bite people.

Speaking of Nature.

OLE HENDRICKSONIf you care about your well-being, the fate of your

children and the environment, please read James Hog-gan’s new book, Climate Cover-Up.

Hoggan owns a successful Vancouver public rela-tions company.

He chairs the board of directors of the David Suzuki Foundation and is a trustee of the Dalai Lama Centre for Peace and Education.

He founded a website “DeSmogBlog” to, in his words, identify unethical public relations tactics and expose the public relations people who are trying to confuse the public about climate change.

At a recent University of Ottawa talk, Hoggan noted that public relations experts know far more about how you think than you do. He documents all the tricks they, and other climate change deniers, use to induce you to deny the reality of climate change.

The basic strategy of the deniers is to create doubt about the scientifi c facts. Some falsely pose as climate scientists, misrepresenting their research and teach-ing backgrounds. They speak about areas outside their fi elds of expertise. They accept money from oil and coal companies. They sow doubt, mistrust, confusion, and delay.

These false climate scientists are backed up by an army of public relations specialists and corporate lob-byists, representing companies whose profi ts are tied to

fossil fuels. Hoggan says there are four climate change lobbyists for every elected offi cial in Washington, D.C.

I thought that after the Nobel Prize was awarded to the thousands of scientists who write the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, climate change deniers would slink away with their tails be-tween their legs.

I was wrong. The deniers are more active, and better funded, than ever.

Why do so many of us continue to deny climate change, when the scientifi c evidence is so strong, and the risks are so high?

Some answers are simple. We don’t want to change our lifestyle.

Retooling to a zero-carbon society would disrupt pow-erful and profi table industry sectors and require signifi -cant government intervention in the economy. If appar-ently credible spokespersons tell us there is scientifi c doubt about the reality of climate change, we are only too happy to believe them.

Deniers aim their propaganda at smaller media out-lets where reporters lack the resources to check their facts, sources, and credentials.

They take advantage of the fact that climate change is complex. We agreed to ban ozone-destroying sub-stances because it’s easy to understand the dangers of a hole in the ozone layer that lets in harmful radiation. But how can scientists communicate the dangers of cli-mate change?

I’m a professional ecologist. I’ve published peer-re-viewed scientifi c articles on the carbon cycle.

Part of my work involves reading studies of how climate change is impacting life on the land and in the seas. Every peer-reviewed scientifi c study on climate change published in the past decade has confi rmed that human-caused greenhouse gas emissions are warming and destabilizing our fragile atmosphere, and causing signifi cant damage to living systems.

The world is headed, faster and faster, for climate di-saster. If we fail to act to reduce greenhouse gas emis-sions, hundreds of millions of people will abandon the world’s coastal areas during this century, never to re-turn.

Even worse scenarios involving total melting of the icecaps and stoppage of ocean currents are possible. These could leave oceans devoid of oxygen, covered with purple bacteria, fi lling the atmosphere with poi-sonous green clouds of hydrogen sulphide. Earth has experienced such episodes, but not for hundreds of mil-lions of years. Most species would perish – certainly all humans.

Avoiding these catastrophic scenarios will require strong measures and leadership. Consider a global ban on fossil fuels. Could people live happily in a zero-car-bon society? Absolutely. As caretakers of the planet, and each other, we would lead full and meaningful lives.

If we lead, politicians will follow.

Admaston-BromleyAdmaston-BromleyAdmaston-BromleyAdmaston-BromleyCouncil endorses ‘smart moratorium’

LUCY [email protected]

Admaston-Bromley council has passed a motion supporting “a smart moratorium on school closings.”

The township has three schools within its boundaries: Admaston Pub-lic, St. Michael’s Catholic School in Douglas and Opeongo High School.

The Community Schools Alliance was formed earlier this year, by mu-nicipal leaders across the province, to press the Ontario government to implement a smart moratorium on disputed school closings.

The goal of the moratorium is to provide time for the ministry, school boards and municipalities to work to-gether to develop policies to prevent further school closings without input from students, parents, the communi-

ty and municipalities.The key issues at stake: declining

enrolment, a mutually-agreed-upon Accommodation Review Commit-tee process, a review of funding to rural and small community schools, and transparency and accountabil-ity between municipalities and school boards.

“The smart moratorium is vital to our municipality, as we have two el-ementary schools and a public second-ary school in our township with excel-lent co-operative agreements between the schools and the municipality,” the Admaston-Bromley resolution said.

It went further: “Our township is an agriculture-based municipality of which we are very proud, but must therefore depend on other means such as these schools are a motivation to

bring growth to our community.”The resolution was moved by Coun.

Dirk Rook and seconded by Coun. San-dra Crozier.

Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe said it’s really important … “by any and all means, to impress upon (education) minister (Elizabeth) Wynn the need to consult broadly because there is valu-able input that must be had from all parties involved.”

She said ministries often work in silos and must be made aware of the “cause and effect” of decisions.

Briscoe said she was pleased with efforts to customize the Admaston-Bromley resolution to refl ect the town-ship.

“I’m absolutely very satisfi ed with the effort we’re putting forth here,” she said.

Heritage Radio seeks talk show hostLUCY HASS

[email protected] Heritage Radio is seeking a volunteer to host a

Saturday morning community talk show on the small rural station.

In a Sept. 28 letter to Admaston-Bromley council, station president Earl Pearce said the small community radio sta-tion was surprised to receive, “out of the blue,” a Renfrew County resolution suggesting the morning talk show had been cancelled.

“It (a community talk show) is a very valuable resource for residents of the Ottawa Valley to understand the issues affecting them and their local politicians,” he said.

But he corrected a statement in the county’s Sept. 30 res-olution that Heritage Radio cancelled the program, which was hosted by Jake Davies.

“The volunteer host of this show felt it was too time-con-

suming to do the show as a volunteer,” Pearce explained.“We are continuing to look for a replacement volunteer

for this show, as we agree it is a valuable community ser-vice,” he added.

Pearce said Valley Heritage Radio relies extensively on people, businesses and municipalities in its listening area and their support through annual membership.

In closing, he invited Admaston-Bromley to join as a member.

“Knowing the importance you place on this commu-nity station, we would certainly appreciate your fi nancial support by becoming a valuable member of this station,” Pearce wrote.

The county resolution, under Warden Don Rathwell’s signature, said the program is an extremely valuable re-source for municipalities to discuss relevant issues with their ratepayers.

A LESSON TO LAST A LIFETIME

The week of October 18 to 24 was Local Government Week and Admaston-Bromley Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe marked the occasion with visits to both elementary schools in the municipality – Admaston Public and St. Michael’s School in Douglas. During those sessions she shared insight and information on the municipal election process. Above, she speaks to students at Admaston Public. 2010 is a municipal election year and the mayor encouraged the students to talk to their parents about municipal service.

NewsNewsNewsNewsGM to haul household garbage east

JOHN [email protected]

Greater Madawaska council has agreed to ship the township’s household garbage to the Lafl eche Environmental site in Moose Creek north of Cornwall, starting in the new year.

However, council stressed it is an in-terim move until a fi nal overall waste dis-posal strategy is fi nalized.

Councillors estimate hauling the household garbage out of the township will buy them some time by increasing the life of the township’s landfi lls by 50 per cent.

The township is in the process of clos-ing two landfi lls and changing the other three to transfer stations with the help of a COMRIF grant. Once that project is completed, council will have to determine where the township’s garage will be sent.

Council agreed to forego signing a fi ve-year contract with Lafl eche, even though it would lower the $75-a-tonne tipping fee. Reeve Peter Emon said the township wants to keep its options open in case a waste processing plant or other disposal alternative is developed in this area.

In a report to council, public works manager Jamie Doering said it would cost the township about $40,000 a year in tipping and hauling fees to have the household waste taken from the Norway Lake, Griffi th and Mt. St. Patrick dumps to Lafl eche.

He explained the hauling would elimi-nate about 25 per cent of the volume go-ing into the landfi ll sites and reduce the amount of cover material by the same amount. The hauling will become feasible when the township receives a new roll-off container truck expected in November.

Burnstown beach hut on hold as bid too highBurnstown Beach Park won’t be get-

ting a new beach hut this year. McNab-Braeside council has rejected the only tender to build the washrooms/change rooms for the beach after the only bid came in almost three times over budget.

The township received a $92,070 Rec-reational Infrastructure Canada (RinC) grant for the project estimated to cost $139,500. The only bid on the tender re-ceived by the Oct. 15 deadline was from

Good Construction for $335,556.“You can build a pretty nice house for

that,” said Mayor Mary Campbell.Township CAO Noreen Mellema said

Stantec Engineering, which set up the tender, is in “total disbelief it came in at that price.”

Council referred the matter back to its recreation committee and agreed to en-courage contractors to bid on the project next spring.

Operational plans ready for town’s drinking waterSTEVE NEWMAN

[email protected] of the fallouts from Cana-

da’s worst-ever water contamina-tion case was more paper work for municipalities.

But it will also mean more peace of mind for municipalities operating water-treatment sys-tems across the province, Brian Symondson of the Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) told Ren-frew council during its Oct. 26 briefi ng session.

The Town of Renfrew is about to approve and sign the operational plans for the Ren-frew water treatment plant and the town’s water distribution system, around the deadline of Nov. 1, after developing the docu-ments over the past year.

Signatures will come from OCWA and three town offi cials − development and works director Mike Asselin, clerk Kim Bulmer and Mayor Sandi Heins.

The 21-part operational plan for the water treatment plant and water distribution system includes a section on risk assess-ment. No red fl ags appeared.

The risk-assessment table describes potential hazardous events, their possible outcomes, and the control measures al-ready in place at the water treat-ment plant.

“A lot of it is just a best-prac-tices documentation,” said Asse-lin of the documents, which are part of Ontario’s new Quality Management System for drink-ing water.

RECOMMENDATIONSAFTER WALKERTON CRISIS

The May 2000 contaminated water crisis in Walkerton re-sulted in the death of seven residents, after its water supply became contaminated with ma-nure spread on a farm near the Ontario town.

At the time Premier Mike Harris blamed the former NDP

government for loosening water standards. However, the eventual public inquiry pointed some of the blame at cutbacks by Harris’s Conservative government.

More importantly, the pub-lic inquiry overseen by Justice Dennis O’Connor put in place a checks-and-balance system to prevent a reoccurrence of Walk-erton-like incidents.

The Walkerton Inquiry result-ed in many recommendations, including the spending of about $280 million to develop a Safe Drinking Water Act.

One of the pursued recom-mendations was that water sys-tems owners (such as the Town of Renfrew) hold appropriate documentation, and that train-ing courses for all water systems operators be required and acces-sible.

Another recommendation followed up on was that munici-palities review the management and operating structure of their water systems, and uphold stan-dards for their employees in the water-care sector.

Symondson says Walkerton’s tainted-water tragedy of 2000 led to the adoption of a Quality Management System, of which the operational plans are front and centre.

‘QUALITY MANAGEMENT’The Province wanted a “qual-

ity management system that would ensure the water systems are managed in a planned fash-ion, so all staffed are trained on it, and owners − the municipal-ity − endorse the system and how it is to be operated,” said Symondson.

“They (the operational plans) are important because they out-line the commitment, and the management plan, to operate the Renfrew water treatment plant and distribution system by the development and works crew to a very high standard.”

RenfrewRenfrewRenfrewRenfrew

The operational plans will be available to the public at the town hall and on the town’s web-site.

Symondson, the operations manager for OCWA’s local hub, pointed out that southwestern Ontario municipalities have been the fi rst to complete their

operational plans. Therefore, they are good examples for other municipalities looking at what to avoid and what best practices to follow in their documentation.

“They’ve broken trail for us,” said Symondson.

Renfrew’s two operational plans are 61 pages and 67 pages

long, including several appendi-ces and/or maps.

The 21 sections in each of the two plans include person-nel coverage, communications, essential supplies and services, emergency management, inter-nal audits, and descriptions of the drinking water systems.

A fi ne day at the Douglas libraryPETER CLARK

[email protected] was a banner day Oct. 24 for the Admaston-

Bromley Township Library in Douglas and all the people in the community who use its services.

First up, the Admaston-Bromley community was the recipient of a $35,200 Ontario Trillium Foundation grant for the library.

“We are grateful for the grants we get from Trillium,” Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe said to the gathering. “You’ve got to have 21st century service or you’ll lose your patrons,”

Mayor Briscoe also thanked the library board and the Douglas Lions Club for their ongoing sup-port. The Lions Club made a $500 presentation for a laser printer.

“(The Trillium Foundation) is an absolute won-derful program to support small communities,” Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabus-ki added.

“Competition for dollars is ever increasing,” noted Liz Hart of the Trillium Foundation while congratulating the township on its successful application.

Judy Sauve was named the library’s Patron of the Year for 2009.

“It’s not because she reads a lot of books,” librarian Anne English stressed. “Jody takes books to people who can’t get to the library.”

“I’m thrilled and honoured. This is much appre-ciated,” Sauve said.

“This is a fantastic library,” she added. “We are so fortunate to have a library like this. It has a fan-tastic website. The community is very fortunate to have something like this.”

“Our patrons are the reason why we are here,” library board chair Elaine Bazinet-Smith said.

The ZumbAtomic fi tness ses-sions for children on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre are doing quite well, Renfrew Parks and Recreation director Kelley Whit-man-McKie noted at the October recreation committee meeting.

Registration for the youngest group is sold out with a waiting list, while the older group is 90 per cent full.

The parks and recreation de-partment will host children’s dance programs for 21 weeks running January to May 2010 under the direction of Melissa Frisk.

These dance sessions will run on Saturday mornings with a minimum of fi ve and maximum of 15 students.

The gymnastics program is also slated to start in January.

There is a maximum capacity of 20 children per age group.

With one certifi ed instructor (Meghan Campbell) and one ex-perienced assistant and poten-tially a few added volunteers, Whitman-McKie anticipates a starting point of mid-January.

The program will expand as the department is able to train and sustain certifi ed instruc-tors.

The Hold ’em for Hospice poker tournament for Hospice Renfrew has become an instant success.

The second annual tourna-ment, in memory of J.J. and Rose-Marie Enright, brought 110 card players to the Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church hall Oct. 17.

In two years, the event has raised more than $9,000 for Hos-pice Renfrew.

“Last year, we raised $3,8000, and $5,300 this year,” organizer Andrew Dick said.

“We had so many Renfrew peo-ple that don’t play a lot of poker come, and everyone had a blast.

“I hope most, if not all of them, can play again next year,” Dick said, adding, he has room for up to 200 players.

“If it wasn’t for wwwjacksev-en.ca this event wouldn’t have happened,” the Hold ‘em for Hos-pice organizer was quick to add. “The poker community of this website really pulled through for this event.”

“We had donations all the way from Toronto to Nova Scotia and all the way up to Barry’s Bay. They were more than happy to donate.”

“And, if course, Renfrew pulled through. This community is amazing.”

ANDY SKLEPOWICZRenfrew Curling Rink

Well, it has finally arrived.Just as children await Christ-

mas or their birthdays, curlers await the first game of a new curling season. After what seems like months and months, there is no better feeling than finally settling into the hack and, with both trepidation and excitement, delivering that first rock. A new season has begun; old friends and new are enjoyed, shots are made and missed, the game is intense and the win or loss is quickly forgotten in good cheer and laughter.

And what a week it has been. All leagues are in full swing. The club is hopping every day and evening.

Many new faces are evident and returning curlers, long absent, are back. The ice is look-ing great and curling even better. The competition is stiff on the ice and the camaraderie is better than ever.

In opening Low Cup action (a senior men’s interclub competi-tion) Renfrew came away with a perfect start, going 4-0 against two determined Pembroke teams. The Renfrew teams, made up of skip Paul Villard, third Greg Savicky, second Don Lowe and

lead Dwight Hayward, and skip Rob Warren, third Andy Skle-powicz, second Jarda Papousek and lead Peter Price played well and walked away with four much deserved wins. On the weekend, in Tweed, Renfrew was repre-sented by the teams of Barb Westgarth, Yvonne Sklepowicz, Susan Boyland and Joan Hickey in the women’s division and Rob Warren, Paul Villard, Andy Skle-powicz and Tony Lapienes in the men’s, in the provincial play downs for the Dominion Cup, a competition of club champions from across the province.

The men’s team lost 6-2 to Carleton Place as skip Warren’s good game was not well sup-ported by his team.

In the second game Renfrew held a two-point lead over Otta-wa’s Granite Club in the sixth when a game-turning pick (debris or imprint on the ice causing a rock to change direction) on Warren’s last stone resulted in a four-point swing and a last-rocks loss and elimination.

In women’s action a last rock loss to Carleton Heights of Otta-wa put the ladies on the B side after an extremely well played and exciting game. The second game against Quinte of Bel-leville resulted in a three-point

SportsSportsSportsSportsBehind the Glass: The fun fi nally starts

loss as too many missed shots hurt the ladies.

And on a closing note, if you somehow missed all the invitations and chances to join the club so far this year, this is an open invitation for you to still join.

Yes, we might still

be able to get you into the opening draws or, at worse, on the spare list. And remember, the next draw is only four weeks away.

Don’t miss out on another great year of exercise, fun and friend-ship.

Novice C team rebounds with win DAN KIRKNESS

Upper Ottawa Valley Ringette AssociationAfter dropping a 7-3 decision

to Gatineau-1, the Upper Ottawa Valley Novice C ringette team rolled over Gatineau-3 by a score of 13-3. New to ringette this sea-son, Abigail Schwan had two goals in the win. First-year nov-ice Jamie Broome also scored.

The Tween B team split a pair with Arnprior. After losing 4-1, the pink and black regrouped for a 4-2 win. Sonya Bergin led the way with a hat trick. Emily Agnew scored in each game.

The Petite C’s took all four points in a pair of games against West Ottawa. In a 7-2 win, UOV got goals from Brooke Agnew, Renee St. Cyr, Emily Johnson, Hannah Bradley, and a hat trick

from Andrea Martin. Abby Delarge chipped in with three assists. In the rematch, Martin scored four times, Agnew twice and Johnson once in a 7-5 win. Agnew also added three assists and Bradley a pair.

UOV’s Belle ringette team also won both games. Kristine Millar and Amber Gillan each scored twice, Karly Millar and Alyssa Gillan had singles, and Hailey Miller had a goal and four assists in a 7-3 win over Glouces-ter. Amber Gillan scored four times and added two assists in a 7-5 win over Metcalfe. Kristine Millar had a pair and Alana Slui-man rounded out the scoring.

The Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) has launched online permit sales at www.ofsc.on.ca. For the fi rst time provincially, snowmobilers are now able to buy their full season trail permits on-line, just in time to save $50 by purchasing on or before Dec. 1.

Available only through OFSC district offi ces, the new classic per-mit is a Go Snowmobiling initiative intended to increase trail riding among owners of antique sleds and participation among families whose older snowmobiles may have previously been inactive.

The classic permit is only for sleds that are model year 1995 or older, at a fee that half the regular cost of a full season permit.

Online permit snowmobile sales available

PolicePolicePolicePoliceBe safe this Halloween

Ghosts, goblins and other spooks out and about in local neighbourhoods this Saturday to trick or treat should have safety as well as candy on their minds, say OPP.

Although Halloween activities are meant to be fun and harmless, they could also be dangerous, caution police.

The weather, darkness and excitement of the night can create hazardous situations for chil-dren.

The following are tips the OPP suggest that might assist in making the spookiest night of the year a safe one:

• be visible – wear light coloured reflective cos-tumes – carry a flashlight;

• choose make-up rather than masks, or cut larger eyeholes for increased vision;

• avoid crisscrossing the street while trick or treating and when crossing the street look both ways;

• children should visit homes that have outside porch lights on - never go inside the house they visit;

• motorists need to exercise caution and pay extra attention when entering and exiting drive-ways;

• home owners should keep candles out of children’s reach and away from curtains and other objects that could catch fire;

• make your home safe for trick-or-treaters – remove things that could easily cause children to trip and fall;

• have an adult inspect all treats before any-thing is eaten.

Three males from Renfrew have been arrested and are in custody, each charged with one count of possession of stolen property.

The charges were laid after the OPP investigated the theft of an ATV from a residential property on Arnprior Avenue in Renfrew, during the daytime hours of Oct. 19.

The green 2006 Arctic Cat was recovered, and the inves-tigation widened to include the theft of three other ATVs; a mischief at Calabogie Peaks; break, enter and theft at Jocko’s Beach Resort; mischief at Ca-nadian Tire in Renfrew; break, enter and theft of a motorbike in Renfrew, and an attempted theft of an ATV in Renfrew.

Charged were two local men – ages 23 and 21 – and a young offender under the Youth Crim-inal Justice Act.

Further charges are pending as the investigation continues, led by Const. Ryan Besner.

THEFTS• A parking meter was sto-

len from Renfrew Avenue East some time between Oct. 15 and 19. There are no suspects

• Five rings have been sto-len from a residence in Horton Township. The time of the theft is unknown and there were no signs of forced entry to the home. Const. Marc Bennett is investigating.

• A 1996 Chevy S10 pickup truck was stolen from a resi-dence in Renfrew Oct. 24.

The truck was discovered a short time later on Highway 60 at Butler Road with extensive damage.

Const. Besner in investigat-ing.

• Some time over the week-end of Oct. 16 to 19 unknown people attempted to steal a black 1993 Jeep YJ from 21 Jackson Lane in McNab Town-ship. Const. John Birmingham is investigating.

IMPAIRED DRIVINGWhile investigating an un-

related incident, Renfrew OPP offi cers observed a possible im-paired driver on Highway 60 in Renfrew Oct. 20.

Investigation revealed the of-fi cers believed the male driver of the vehicle was impaired by

a drug.The male was arrested and

following testing by a drug-rec-ognition expert, an 18-year-old from Ignace was charged with impaired driving.

One male was released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew on Nov. 25.

Const. Mark Condron inves-tigated.

DOMESTIC DISPUTESThe Renfrew OPP responded

to one domestic dispute during the past week.

One male was charged with mischief under $5,000.

MISCHIEF• Several windows were

broken at the Renfrew Power Generation building on Bridge Street in Renfrew over the past weekend.

• Halloween decorations were vandalized at various lo-cations in Renfrew.

• A vehicle on Farewell Street in Renfrew was damaged Oct. 25 when unknown people kicked the vehicle several times.

DRUG CHARGEOn Oct. 23 Const. Joey Lim-

law stopped a vehicle in Ren-frew.

Subsequent investigation revealed the driver had pos-session of a quantity of mari-juana.

The marijuana was seized and the male was charged with possession.

He was released on a prom-ise to appear in court in Ren-frew on Dec. 2.

CALLS FOR SERVICEThe Renfrew OPP responded

to 152 calls for service during the past week.

If you have information on any of the above crimes, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or online at www.valley-tips.ca.

If your information leads to an arrest or charge, you would earn a cash reward of up to $2,000 and never have to attend court as a witness.

The Crime Stoppers phones are answered 24 hours a day and Crime Stoppers does not subscribe to call display or call trace.

The world’s largest potato-producing country is ... and it’s not the U.S.How many potato varieties can you name? Probably

a dozen, right? There are about 5,000 potato varieties worldwide. Three thousand of them are found in the An-des alone, mainly in Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Chile and Columbia.

Although generally thought to be Irish in origin, the potato is actually a native of the Andes. It was widely cultivated in South America at the time of the Spanish Conquest and was popular with the Aztecs and the In-cas.

Would you say that the United States is the world’s largest potato producing country? Not so. China is. Nearly a third of the world’s potatoes are harvested in China and India. China grows roughly 26 per cent of the world’s potatoes.

It’s interesting to note that the geographic shift of po-tato production has been away from wealthier countries toward lower income areas of the world.

Will we be seeing Chinese grown potatoes in our supermarkets – in a few years maybe? That’s a scary thought. Did you ever think you’d see Chinese honey here?

The United Nations FAO reports that worldwide pro-duction was 315 million tonnes of potatoes in 2006.

About 175 potato varieties were on display at the On-tario Potato Field Day held at Alliston, Ont., on Aug. 20. Included in that number were fresh market, processing and specialty potatoes.

Eugenia Banks, potato specialist for OMAFRA, in her report in The Grower said there was a lot of inter-est in Dark Red Chieftain, a mutant of the popular red-skinned variety Chieftain.

The mutant has a deeper red skin colour that does not fade in storage. It is more tolerant to scab, and does not skin as much as the regular Chieftain. The Real Potatoes Company based in P.E.I. will market this variety.

Banks reports that Yukon Gem is a mid-season va-riety with light yellow fl esh and higher yield potential than Yukon Gold, one of the parents of this new vari-ety.

Tubers are round to oval with yellow skin and pink splashes around the eyes. It is susceptible to common scab.

Yukon Gem was developed in North Dakota as a re-placement for Yukon Gold.

Ambra is an early, yellow fl esh table variety that produces attractive oval tubers that size well, reports Banks. It is susceptible to scab, but not as sensitive as Yukon Gold.

Ambra is marketed by HZPC Americas Corp., based in P.E.I.

Elfe is a yellow fl esh variety with long, smooth, oval tubers and medium-early maturity. Banks reports that Elfe has good fl avour and is marketed by the Real Pota-toes Company from PEI.

Mazama is an early-maturing, red-skinned vari-ety with oval tubers suitable for table use and the red-skinned creamer market. Banks reports that Mazama is marketed Potato Variety Management Institute (PVMI) based in Oregon.

Romanze is a midseason variety with light yellow fl esh. Banks reports that tubers are oval with dark red skin. It is susceptible to scab. Romanze is marketed by Real Potatoes.

There’s also Merlin – a variety many of us never heard of before.

The Grower has some interesting statistics from Sta-tistics Canada estimating the 2009 potato acreage.

• Nationally, farmers have planted an estimated 378,400 acres in potatoes in 2009 – that’s 2,300 acres less than in 2008.

• P.E.I. growers planted 85,000 acres or 8.1 per cent less than the previous year.

• Provinces that had no change in planted acres were Manitoba (82,000 acres), Alberta (52,500 acres) and Brit-ish Columbia (7,500 acres).

• Provinces that reported an increase in planted acres were Ontario (37,000 acres, up 3 per cent), New Bruns-wick (58,000 acres, up 5 per cent), Quebec (43,700 acres, up 3 per cent) and Saskatchewan (10,000 acres, up 5 per cent).

• The U.S. potato crop is slightly over 1 million acres. It hasn’t increased in recent years.

Letters to the EditorLetters to the EditorLetters to the EditorLetters to the EditorCanada under threat of legalized physician-assisted suicideTo the editor:

Once again Canada is under threat of ‘legalized’ physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia.

For the third time, Bloc Quebecois MP Francine Lalonde has proposed a motion to allow euthana-sia, this time Bill C384, which was debated Oct. 2 in Parliament for the fi rst time.

Apparently an amendment has been proposed; but the reality is that there are no ‘safeguards’ once that forbidden door is opened.

In the Netherlands (my own native land) where euthanasia is legal, I believe thousands are killed annually against their will. In 1990 alone, there were 6,000 involuntary that are known of. No, there are no safeguards.

C384 would qualify anyone over 18 to be assisted to die, regardless of whether he or she is terminally ill, imminently dying or not, or in depression; and regardless of whether appropriate treatments have been attempted.

Anyone merely ‘appearing lucid’ could be killed within two weeks if two medical practitioners con-fi rm his or her condition.

This bill poses a real danger for vulnerable peo-ple, such as sick, depressed, elderly and disabled, who may see themselves as a burden on family or society. The so-called right to die quickly becomes the duty to die.

If we want to be truly compassionate, and allow people to die with dignity, then we must allow them to live until God decides to take them; and, very im-portantly, use all our resources to develop excellent palliative care.

Having recently experienced the death of a be-loved uncle, I have had a bird’s eye view of the defi -ciencies of the Canadian medical system, and real-ize how desperately improvement is needed.

Can it be that having already legalized abortion in 1969, the underlying, and perhaps unspoken,

mentality is that of death as a solution? After all, it’s less expensive to kill a burdensome patient than to surrender him with love and care, and help him as he dies in God’s good time.

And if a person who is considered a nuisance can be killed off at the beginning of life, why not at the end, or anywhere in between for that matter?

I submit that if abortion had never been al-lowed, that development of good quality palliative care would have been a priority for years already,

simply because of our respect for all human life. Instead, we have miles to go as far as relief for pain, competence, compassion and caring go.

Regardless, it is never right to kill an innocent person, since every human life has inherent worth and dignity in all circumstances, and only God, the author of all life, can decide the time of death.

Sincerely,Yvonne Dienesch

Cemetery incident was nothing short of disgracefulTo the editor:

I can’t believe what people will do. With the second year anniversary of my father’s

death looming over us, we decided to visit St. Francis Cemetery to honour my father and to our surprise someone who had no respect for anything or anyone decided that they would take something that was not theirs.

I think that it is disgraceful that anyone would steal from a grave site.

My father was an avid fisherman and we hon-oured him with a ceramic fishing vessel and flow-ers on top of the grave stone but, it was to our dismay when we arrived today that the fishing vessel had been ripped out of the flower arrange-ment which caused my mother – who is a senior – to weep and hurt us all very much.

If the person who did this has any type of heart, now would be the time to put the vessel back at the grave site and maybe God will forgive them or her.

Choices and consequencesCalabogie/Renfrew Pro-Life Association

We all know how contentious an issue abortion is. There is a distinct division between those who are pro-life and those who are pro-choice.

It would appear that many women faced with the dilemma of an unplanned pregnancy will often say that they felt they really had no other choice but abortion. Why is that? Is it because a woman’s support system, those to whom she looks to for support and understanding at a very critical time in her life, are pressuring her to get an abortion because it is the quickest solution to her problem?

Every decision we make in life has consequenc-es. For a woman who has an abortion there can be and often are serious physical and emotional consequences that can change her life forever. One has only to listen to the testimony of women who have had abortions and regret them to know that the consequences are not imaginary but very real and long lasting.

So what are the other options besides abortion? Adoption is a selfless and loving choice. It is by no means an easy decision for a young woman to make. It entails carrying one’s baby to full term and then placing it with a loving family who will raise that baby as their own. There are thousands of couples in Canada who cannot have children of their own and who are obliged to travel to foreign countries to adopt because there are not enough babies available in this country. Another option is to keep the baby. Depending on one’s circumstanc-es, that also can be difficult but it doesn’t have to be. Women don’t need abortions; they need the lov-ing support and understanding of family, friends and most importantly of the community.

Resources are available for women who need support beyond family and friends. Many peo-ple are not aware of other alternatives within their reach. Those alternatives are in the form of pregnancy crisis centres. One such centre is the Pregnancy Support Services of the Upper Ottawa Valley situated in Pembroke (613-635-7440.) The services provided are free and confidential.

These centres are a beacon of light and hope for women who agonize over an unplanned pregnancy and who want to examine all their options but feel alone and desperate. If tax dollars could be put to establishing more pregnancy services centres we would see a reduction in abortions and women would be far less at risk of suffering needless phys-ical and emotional harm. The babies spared death by abortion would become our hope and much needed security for the future of this country. We should be demanding our tax dollars be put toward saving, rather than destroying, life. But until that day comes, we remain a country crippled by lack of insight and subject to the consequences of its unwise choices.

To the editor:When my husband and I moved to Renfrew last

year, we felt like it was a friendly and safe place to live. It was a perfect town in which to live. When I read the police report in the Oct. 22 Weekender I was shocked. The amount of mischief and vandal-ism was a wake-up call. The graffi ti, destruction and stealing sounded like ‘Big City’ problems.

What happened? Is our community doomed to be a Big City with the matching illegal actions? I hope not! Do we fear walking down our streets, holding handbags tight? Has Renfrew stolen charges from the Big City? Please let us get back to the Small Town. Sincerely,

Barb StopaRiver Road

ROBERT ST. MICHAELRenfrew Legion PRO

Hello, everyone. Another month has gone by too quickly, I’m sure you’ll agree.

Branch 148 Renfrew Legion has been as busy as ever working to maintain and garner the due respect that should be afforded to our veterans, past and present.

With this in mind, please do not forget that the most important day on every Legion’s calendar is the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month – Remembrance Day.

This is the day that is set aside to remember and honour our fallen and serving comrades in the never-ending quest for freedom – a freedom that has cost many of our Canadian Men and Women their lives since the formation of this great and free Country that we call home.

Stop and think for a second – the guys and gals who are virtually putting their lives on the line on a daily basis so that we can enjoy our freedom are doing it for us – you and me – and our families.

With this in mind, the Renfrew Legion will be holding its annual Poppy drive on Oct. 30 and 31. Please support this once yearly endeavour to help us make a difference in the life of a veteran or his/her family.

Entertainment is doing well in our lounge and on Saturday, Oct. 31 we are having a music jam and a Halloween party from 3 to 7 p.m.

There will be snacks, prizes and a costume con-test.

All are welcome to come down and have a ghoul-ish time with us.

Also, the Renfrew Legion members and execu-tive would like to wish the OPP a wonderful 100th anniversary. These guys and gals are every bit a veteran as our soldiers.

For any more information on hall bookings and/or Ladies’ Auxiliary Catering, call 613-432-6450.

Yours in comradeship, Robert St. Michael

PolicePolicePolicePoliceKillaloe OPP lay drug charges

On Oct. 21 offi cers with the Killaloe detachment of the OPP, the OPP Canine Unit, Ottawa Drug Enforcement Section and members of the Emergency Response Team executed a Controlled Drug and Substance Act warrant on a residence on Sand Road in Bonnechere Valley Town-ship. A 21-year-old female, 33-year-old male and 49-year-old male – all of Bon-nechere Valley Township – were charged with production of marijuana, possession of more than 30 grams of marijuana, and traffi cking marijuana. All three parties are scheduled to appear in Killaloe court on Nov. 18. Const. Liz VanMassenhoven is the lead investigator.

On Oct. 20 Const. Paul Hicks was at-tending a residence on Ruby Road in Bonnechere Valley Township to conduct an investigation with respect to bail vio-

lations. A 56-year-old Bonnechere Valley Township resident was charged with pos-session of marijuana.

The Killaloe/Whitney detachments of the OPP are still receiving complaints of driver’s licences being sent to local ad-dresses with a stranger’s name.

If this occurs, police are advising peo-ple to return the driver’s licence to the Ministry of Transportation.

This is a scam that people are using in the larger centres where their vehicles are required to pass an emission test.

They in return provide an address from a rural area to update their driver information and avoid the emissions test. After as couple of days they re-attend a driving centre and advise they have moved and are then provided another driver’s licence.

Pembroke/Renfrew County Crime Stoppers and Arnprior OPP are asking for the public’s assistance in solving the theft of vehicles. During September and October 2009 Renfrew and Arnprior OPP detachments have investigated six mo-tor vehicle thefts. The vehicles stolen are SUVs and pickup trucks. Many have been recovered in a location in McNab Town-ship with extensive damage.

Crime Stoppers Pembroke/Renfrew County believes that someone may have

information that could assist police in solving this crime. If you have informa-tion on any criminal offence that results in charges being laid, you qualify for an award of up to $2,000. Call Pembroke/Ren-frew County Crime Stoppers at 735-8477 that is 735-TIPS or 1-800-222-8477. All tips remain anonymous and you will not have to attend court. Crime Stoppers does not subscribe to call display. Telephones are answered 24 hours a day. Or visit www.valleytips.ca.

“I’ve seen children on their bikes fall over. I’ve seen residents curse.”

The words come from Horton Township resi-dent Dave Brown, in responding to how the County of Renfrew public works department grades the shoulders of local county roads.

His comments were made as a one-man delega-tion during the Oct. 6 Horton council meeting.

“We’re in the 21st century and most municipali-ties, but not all, do have rollers and smooth out and pack the roads, so it allows children or adults to walk or jog … without being in the middle of the road.”

The problem with county grading, says Brown, is that loose sediment two to six inches deep takes a week or two to settle.

Councillor Dave Bennett says Renfrew County public works and engineering director Dave Darch is aware of the situation.

However, Bennett also said: “As far as them com-pacting the roads, they don’t have the apparatus to put behind the grader, and if (the county) did that would be an upgrade of service, which they’re not looking at at this time.”

At the same time, Bennett said Brown raises legitimate concerns.

It’s estimated local county roads are graded three times each summer, including Castleford Road on which Brown lives.

Bennett indicated public works director Darch, in discussions between Horton council and the county, has talked about how future roads work programs will have to recognize increasing use of roadways by residents for recreational uses.

Before speaking to council, Brown sent Horton Township an early-September letter that said: “We ought to do everything possible to make walking or riding a bike, etc., more in tune with the 21st century.”

Brown’s written submission included two pho-tographs, which showed the depth of the loose sediment on a graded shoulder.

Brown isn’t the first to air concerns about road needs and road usage.

CommunityCommunityCommunityCommunityRAG: News from the local art guild

We all remem-ber those days when we were going to school and we received those wonderful boxes of Crayola crayons. They had such a wonderful smell to them and seemed enthuse you to use them. In fact the company I believe to date has maintained that smell in their product. The excite-ment grew even more when if you were lucky enough to get not just the box of eight but the larger 24 set that held those wonderful colours, gold and silver.

Okay, maybe not everyone got excited as I did but I know those were the fun things we looked forward to in those days. Somehow can’t see my grandkids having the same reaction.

The other creative tool was the coloured pencil. I am sure many parents opted for them if only not to give their children ‘messy’ paints. Pencil and coloured pen-cil is a wonderful medium. In the Renfrew Art Guild we have two members who use them exclusively.

Peter Sidock does wonderful graphic paintings of buildings around and near Renfrew. The other artist is Shirley Ann Cone who works with coloured pencil.

A native of Ren-frew, Shirley Ann has returned with her family after living in Calgary.

Ten years ago before she left, she studied pencil at Orleans Visual Art School. She has also studied in Calgary at the Uni-

versity of Calgary and the North Mount Visual Art Centre.

She has taken the coloured pencil to its extreme. The patience that goes into this medium is astounding. The layers upon layers of strokes develop into a wonderful painting.

Shirley Ann has agreed to demonstrate her talent at our next meeting. We are all looking forward to an enjoyable meeting.

RAG meets the first Tuesday of the month at Trinity-St. Andrews United Church 291 Plaunt St. in Renfrew at 7 p.m. Please use the Quarry Street entrance. Everyone is welcome to join us.

SHOW NOTICE The Renfrew Art Guild will be exhibit-

ing at Festival Hall, Pembroke from Nov. 7 to Dec. 16. We encourage everyone to come and see the show. For more informa-tion, call Diana 613-433-3635.

Please find me a homeEach week we feature animals from the Arnprior and District Humane Society that are up

for adoption.# 3366 Gus

Gus is a five-year-old neutered male grey tabby with white markings. He has been at the shelter since April when he was found outside, likely dropped off the night before. Gus is very affectionate; he will sit on your lap for attention and likes to be petted and have his chin scratched. Gus is very curious and nosy – he likes to be in the middle of anything that is going on. He is great with other cats, he really enjoys their company and would be best suited in a home with at least one cat. He does not enjoy being picked up and carried but will come when called. Please consider giving this handsome cat a loving home.

# 3387 LibbyLibby is a two-year-old grey spayed female who was

brought to the shelter in April. She had been a stray since the fall before. She had five kittens the day she was brought in. They have all found homes. Libby is an outgoing cat - she is affectionate but independent and will come to you for attention on her terms. She gets along well with other cats as long as they respect her space. She will require regular grooming. Libby is very gentle and would be good with children. Please consider adopting this beautiful cat.

Supplies the shelter needs: paper towels, plastic grocery bags, fabric softener sheets and baby blankets. Win a quilt, collector doll or child’s bike in the humane society raffle. Tickets are on sale now at the shelter.

You can call the Arnprior and District Humane Society at 613-623-0916 between noon and 5 p.m Monday to Saturday or visitwww.arnpriorhumanesociety.ca

Continued from Page 25In fact, in the last few years, Darch

says there’s an increasing desire to see roads as more than a network for trucks and cars.

That very concern, he says hopefully, will result in the approval of funds to cre-ate a master transportation roads strat-egy (for the county’s 2010 budget), Darch told the Mercury..

The study could span several years and cost about $150,000, he suspects.

“It’s a big undertaking,” said Darch

of the study, which he says would involve several county departments, including property and development and emergen-cy services.

“We recognize the increasing demand for our roads to service more than just vehicles,” added Darch, in reference to pedestrians, all-terrain vehicles, cyclists and runners.

“It’s coming,” says Darch of expand-ing uses of roads networks.

“I think it’s a product of the county getting influenced by urbanization.”

Talks stall on purchaseof Beaumen Recycling

JOHN [email protected]

The bid by six area municipalities to buy the Beaumen Recycling plant is on hold, raising fears about lost jobs and increased municipal taxes.

Beaumen owner Dan Menard warns he’ll be closing the doors of his Renfrew plant once his municipal recycling and garbage contracts are up in the next two years. He plans to end his commercial pick-up at the end of this year.

Menard received a letter in early October informing him the Joint Recycling Management Committee, tasked to recommend whether the municipalities should buy the plant, has disbanded, at least temporarily.

Menard says the committee’s decision, along with Renfrew council’s refusal to get involved, has left him frustrated and the plant’s future very much in doubt.

He says he feels badly for the 20-plus jobs that will be lost to Renfrew when he closes down. It will also be more costly for area taxpayers not to have a local recycling plant and have to rely on an outsider to come in to provide the service, he maintained.

McNab-Braeside Deputy Reeve and committee member Elmer Raycroft explained that Waste Diversion Ontario (WDO) has told the committee that to be eligible for provincial funding it would have to show the plant purchase is more cost-effective than alternatives. To that end, Arnprior staff are working on a joint draft tender for a recycling pick-up for the town, McNab-Braeside and Horton.

The three have been grouped together because they all have curbside pick-up, explained Raycroft. “The three other municipalities have no curbside, so they are looking at other solutions.”

However, letting the matter go to tender could kill the municipal attempt to buy

his Renfrew plant, said Menard.He maintained the municipalities are

playing a dangerous game by letting out a tender in an attempt to determine costs. They can not reject all bids without good reason or they’ll be sued, he said.

Menard said if the municipalities want proof that having a recycling plant in the area is the cheapest option, they need only to go back to 2006 when Beaumen’s bid on the Town of Renfrew’s recycling contract was almost $80,000 a year cheap-er than the only other offer made.

“We’re putting it out to tender because the WDO says we have to show it’s cheaper (before they’ll provide funding),” explained Raycroft.

“We’re not saying WDO is done with us … once we show them what we’re doing, maybe they’ll come back with funding.”

He said the joint recycling committee at its last meeting Sept. 21 agreed to send a letter to the provincial government detailing its efforts to obtain funding for the purchase and past WDO enthusiasm for the proposal. The municipalities have made it clear the purchase depends on receiving adequate funding from WDO.

Raycroft said the committee is also concerned because the province has indicated new recycling regulations to come out in April 2010 will have a major effect on programs. With producers expected to pay more of recycling costs and a new emphasis on large centralized recycling depots, the committee is worried the Beaumen purchase would no longer be supported by WDO, he said.

“We feel it’s unwise to make any commitments before next April.”

Raycroft said local municipalities should expect an increase in recycling costs no matter what route they take, as Beaumen has been holding the line for years as it extends contracts on a year-by-year basis.

Do you experience knee, back, hip, leg or foot pain? Are you fed up with plantar fasciitis (heel pain)? Do you suffer from shin splints, bunions, corns or hammer toes? Do you partake in any activities that require you to be on your feet? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then Orthotics may be your solutions.

Who Can Benefi t From Orthotics?Preventative Orthotic maintenance is benefi cial for everyone. In fact, 67% of Canadians suffer from foot problems and do not even know it. Further-more, approximately 30% of the population wears the wrong size or type of shoes for their feet. Proper footwear can improve your balance and alignment, as well as prevent injuries.

What are Orthotics? An Orthotic is a foot sup-porting device that is custom made to specifi cally fi t your foot. A custom made Orthotic will realign the relationship between the front and rear of the foot, and between the foot and the leg. This will help to treat and prevent disorders of the foot, ankle, knee and back.

The goal is to restore optimal arch height and function, since it is loss of arch height that is the most common factor that is the most common factor

behind foot pain and deformity. The Orthotic is made to match the exact shape of your foot, with the rigidity calibrated to be able to hold the arch up with activity, and yet fl ex slightly for comfort and function.

How will Orthotics Help? Orthotics allows the muscles, tendons and bones of the feet to function at their highest potential.They provide full contact cushioning for the foot which reduces symptoms associated with many foot related problems. Orthotics offer support and stabilization of the foot and can prevent, correct or accommodate foot deformities.

Monday, November 9th from 9:30am to 5pm– circle this date and time on your calendar. Should you wish to drop by with questions or want to see or have a mould done.

CommunityCommunityCommunityCommunityCommunity Support Month

JUDY EWARTOctober is Community Sup-

port Month, a time to celebrate the community services that help to keep people living in their own homes and in their own communities for as long as possible.

Community support services include Seniors’ Home Supports, Alzheimer/adult day programs, attendant services for persons with physical disabilities, assist-ed living in supportive housing, caregiver support and educa-tion, foot care, Meals on Wheels, personal support, homemaking, respite services and end-of-life/palliative care.

With community support ser-vices providing $1.35 in services for every $1 received, they are a cost efficient way of delivering services within our communi-ties for seniors and people with physical disabilities.

While being cost-efficient, community support services pro-vide a number of other practical benefits, such as keeping people within their homes where they prefer to be; promoting physical and mental well-being; helping individuals care for themselves independently; preventing or delaying deterioration of health and premature institutionaliza-tion; reducing visits to the emer-gency room as well as admis-sions to hospitals and decreasing isolation and extending support to family caregivers.

By making the most of the resources available and focusing on wellness and prevention, these agencies help to spare many tax-payers the cost of health servic-es needed to respond to illness and residential/institutional care needs.

With the seniors population doubling in the next sixteen

years it is imperative we sus-tain the efforts of community support services. Last year in Ontario, community support services assisted one million seniors and people with disabili-ties or a debilitating illness with just one per cent of Ontario’s health care budget.

A portion of the funding for community support services comes from Local Health Inte-gration Networks (LHINs), while the remainder of the funding comes through donations, client fees and fundraising activities. In addition to providing many practical services, community support agencies work closely together to ensure that individu-als remain active as they age and retire, by providing a variety of interesting volunteer opportuni-ties.

Many of the local Home Sup-port agencies are members of the Ontario Community Support Association, a provincial orga-nization that provides training, several agency benefits, and has been quite helpful in providing the information used in this article.

For more information about community support services or to find a service provider else-where in Ontario, you can go to their website at www.osca.ca.

Renfrew and the surrounding community came through with flying colours for a terrific cause once again.

As the clock struck 8 on Sunday night, the tote board flipped over to an all-time new high.

The Reach for the Rainbow Sunshine Coach Telethon reached out and brought in $61,773 for this valuable service, cracking last year’s high-water mark of $61,122.

With the economy the way it is, Norm Dagg, in his first year as co-producer of the telethon, wasn’t sure what to expect.

“We are very pleased at reaching a new record of $61,773,” Dagg said. “In these tough economic

times, it was good to see the people of the com-munity continue to reach out and support the Sunshine Coach.”

“We are very pleased with the outcome,” Dagg’s wife Kathy, also a co-producer and emcee, added. COGECO again broadcast the seven-hour event in the Grant Gymnasium at Renfrew Collegiate.

“We always want to pass the previous year’s total by at least one dollar,” she noted.

“We added a few things this year, such as Coach’s Corner and the all-day band. I think they helped add to the show.”

“Obviously, the money is the main thing, but putting on a good show is my goal as director and producer.

“We are always open to suggestions.”

CommunityCommunityCommunityCommunityDealing with the hard things in life

REV. THOMAS A. SMITHRenfrew Baptist Church

What happens when hard things come into people’s lives? Sometimes life seems to bring an avalanche of hard circum-stances upon us and we feel like that ava-lanche is going to crush us. A job is lost, fi nancial troubles come, a friendship or marriage fails, a loved one dies and our lives are thrown into disarray. We won-der how we will deal with a life that seems out of control.

Is there anything or anyone who can help in these times of need? Sometimes good friends and family members can help each other in these circumstances, but at other times, in spite of their best efforts, they fail in their attempts at comfort. The Bible says there is another source of comfort for those who feel like they are at the end of their rope. In 2 Cor-inthians 1:3-4, Paul says, “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,” who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort that we our-selves have received from God.

Not only does God suffer with those who feel overwhelmed by their circum-stances or are suffering some kind of loss; He wants to be invited in to help the suf-ferer deal with their troubles. He wants to become an integral part of the solution in their lives. Anyone can invite God in

to help them and receive the comfort that God seeks so desperately to give.

God also gives purpose to our suffer-ing; many times we can endure great trag-edy and loss if we know there is reason or purpose in it. In verse four of the above Scripture we fi nd one of the purposes for suffering is so that when we have received God’s comfort and come through the situ-ation, we can help others.

Someone who has gone through what another is suffering is in a better position to help because they know some of the things the other person is going through fi rst hand. They can relate to the suffering person in ways that those who have not gone through the same situation cannot. Dr. Paul Brand, in his book, Fearfully and Wonderfully Made, asked this question of his patients and their families, “Who helped you in your suffering?”

The answer he would invariably re-ceive was that of a person who didn’t have smooth answers or a winsome, ef-fervescent personality. It was someone quiet, understanding, who listens more than they talk, who does not judge or even offer advice. A sense of presence. Some-one there when I needed him. A hand to hold, an understanding, bewildered hug. A shared lump in the throat.’”

Hopefully you have these kind of peo-ple in your life, but if not, know that God will comfort you if you simply reach out to Him by faith.

St. Joseph’s graduates focussing on the futureThe halls at St. Joseph’s High school are

all a buzz lately, with Grade 12 students talk-ing about what they will be doing after this year.

Every week different universities and col-leges have been coming to St. Joseph’s High School to make presentations to the graduat-ing students.

On Oct. 19, representatives from all 21 universities in Ontario attended St. Joe’s as

part of the Ontario University Registrars’ Association’s University Information Pro-gram.

This provided an opportunity for stu-dents from across Renfrew County to ask questions and learn about the Universities they might be interested in attending.

Many people are affected by cancer every year.

On Thursday, Oct. 29, as part of the Na-

tional Breast Cancer Awareness Month, our students and staff will be dressing in pink to raise awareness of the need for ongoing cancer research.

On Friday, Oct. 30, with Halloween just around the corner, everyone will be dressing up in their imaginative costumes. There will be a contest for the most creative costumes and, at lunch time, a haunted house for all students to experience.

Refi ned style consultant coming to RenfrewOn Nov. 7 Wendy Woods, style

jean? Wendy knows what cut, shape and style will fl atter your body shape.

“Having Wendy provide con-sulting will help my customers know which fashions are best suited to their body type and even help to enhance and advise them on how to create their very own personal style,” says Col-leen Chretien, owner of Douglas Moore Fashions.

Even accessories will be looked at and advice on how to tie those trendy scarves are just some of the consulting advice Douglas Moore’s customers can expect from this fun day.

“I want to take care of my

customers, I’m excited to give my customers the confi dence and opportunity of having an expert right here in my store, to help them select and wisely spend their fashion investment dollars,” Chretien said.

ViewpointViewpointViewpointViewpointChoose compassion over hate and hurt

I have ques-tions that I need answering. My question is very unpretentious. You do not have to answer if you feel there is no need to answer. They are quite simple.

Why are we always angry? Can we love u n c o n d i t i o n -ally and with-out the ire? And why hate when you can love?

Anger and hate take so much more energy than to love some-thing. You can feel warm and fuzzy instead of ripped and shredded. It is a whole lot better than being cold and cruel.

Feeling a certain way is some-thing special and means some-thing special to any one person you talk or see every day. A person can feel all happy with joy and love and then the next moment they can feel rejection and despair. It can happen in a split second. Just like that. You might call it mood swings; howev-er, we humans are very sensitive beings, with vulnerable, delicate emotions and feelings. We might not want to admit it to anyone, but one word could ruin us to the point of depression; yet again our precarious emotions.

This moment in time will always stay with us, no matter how insignificant, no matter how small. Why waste the time to be ravening and hateful? You will never get this time back; no mat-ter how much you want it back or try to get it back.

To try not to waste the time you have in your life is a conun-drum every one person has, no matter who they are.

What time is it? How much time do we have? What time will we get there? Time, time, time. That is the number one thing we think about each and every single day. No matter how relevant the situation or place, time will never stand still for even one second.

To be cautious is to care. To care is to have heart. To have heart is to have love without hate and anger. The relevancy of any one person is his or her feelings and emotions.

Our core feeling and emotion gravitates toward love and com-passion. Have compassion and love unconditionally. Feel free to express with your heart. And ban all loathing that tries to fill the heart.

The Renfrew County Unit of the Cana-dian Cancer Society has launched a pro-vincial fundraising initiative that’s fun and fl exible enough to fi t any woman’s schedule.

The concept is simple. Girls Night In raises money by asking women to host any kind of get-together with their girl-friends. They ask their guests to donate

the amount they would have spent for a night out. The host decides how, when and where to hold their Girls Night Out.

In 2009, an estimated 12,050 women in Ontario are expected to be diagnosed with breast, uterine, ovarian and cervi-cal cancers. The Girls Night In fundrais-ing initiative aims to reduce this number by funding leading-edge research and creating awareness about cancers that af-fect women.

“When our unit was looking for a way to launch Girls Night In we were delight-

ed to learn that the Pembroke Heritage Manor wanted to support our efforts and offered to host a party,” says Kathy Ken-nedy, unit manager.

On Thursday, Nov. 5 at 7 p.m. staff and residents from the Pembroke Heritage Manor, supported by local businesses, in-vite the public to a fun evening of fashion and dessert as they help the unit to offi -cially launch this new event.

“It is wonderful to see women of all ages join together and help support im-portant research into cancers that affect

women,” says Kennedy. “And you can do it right from home.”

Girls Night In is made simple, online. You can take the fi rst step to hosting your own Girls Night In by visiting www.Girl-sNightInForCancer.ca or by contacting the local Canadian Cancer Society offi ce at 613-735-2571.

You can register your event online, and download a host kit, party theme ideas and e-vites. The site also offers in-formation on breast, uterine, ovarian and cervical cancers.

Girls just want to have fun and a night in

Thank YouThe family of the late Agnes Buraczewski would like to take this time to sincerely thank all our friends, neighbours and relatives. Your kind ex-pressions of sympathy, loving support, prayers, visitations, phone calls, cards, fl oral arrangements, charitable donations, online tributes and mass of-ferings did help to ease the pain of our loss of our beloved mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, grandmother-in-law and great grandmother.

A special thanks to those who brought food to our home.

Special mention to the “Hen House” in Beachburg for family fl oral arrangements. Mere words cannot express our gratitude to Gwendolyn and Micheal Brooks for their friend-ship, love and concern shown to us at the time of Mother’s illness and death.We would like to extend our thanks once again to Dr. Strader and the nursing staff at the RVH at both the emergency and 2nd fl oor for their profes-sional, gentle and exceptional care during Agnes’ illness.A special thank you to Father McNamara for your visits, prayers and the funeral mass which included a touching sermon. We would also like to thank the altar servers, Bernie Mahusky for the reading, Pat Maloney and the choir for the hymns, Darcy Slater for the solo and the CWL for the deli-cious luncheon served at the reception after the funeral.Thank you to the pallbearers, Norman Buracze-wski, Elmer Burchesky, Kevin Fleury, Bernie Ma-husky, Robert Reiger and Dennis Yeretch.We wish to convey our thanks to the Goulet Fu-neral Home, with special mention to Natashia Bistko, for their friendly, compassionate, comfort-ing and discreet direction concerning all elements of the funeral.The kindness of so many has been comforting and will always be remembered.

Thank YouThe family of the late Arie van Lindenberg wish to thank everyone who helped us through such a diffi cult time. From the time Arie was diagnosed with cancer, we were supported and prayed for by everyone it seemed. After his passing, friends, neighbours and acquaintances all rallied behind us to make sure we were cared for and to get everything done. To each and every person who helped keep the farm running while Barend and Matthijs could not – Thank you. To Pastor Dave Tigchelaar who visited and prayed with us these past few months, and gave a touching service – Thank you. To the wonderful ladies who helped organize lunch the afternoon of the funeral – Thank you. To the staff at Anderson Funeral Home, especially William Briscoe, thank you for taking such good care of everything. To Dr. Dick and the wonderful, compassionate staff at Hospice Renfrew, a very special thank you for taking such good care of Arie, as well as the rest of us. The food, phone calls, fl owers, cards and offers of support or services will never be forgotten by any of us in the family, and we feel truly blessed to be part of such a warm and generous community.

With sincere and grateful appreciation,The van Lindenberg Family

HUNTER, IreneIn loving memory of a cherished mom, gran-ny & mother-in-law who passed away October 27, 2006.

Forget me not, for I am right there,In the beat of your hearts,On the wing of your prayers.A joyous reunion is waiting for us!Continue to strive to-ward your goals and be brave,Know that my love didn’t stop at the grave.I am still with you through good times and bad,I share all the joys and the sorrows you’ve had.Feel my presence within your next breath,Ask for my help when you stumble and fall.Always remember my love is right there,In the beat of your hearts,On the wing of your prayers

Love you Forever Mom,Laurie, Doug & Kelsey xoxo
