RENFREW COUNTY WOMEN TAKE BACK THE NIGHT SHERRY HAAIMA sherr y.haaima@metroland.com It was a special night in Eganville. Take Back the Night, a march of solidarity against sexual violence against women, drew an active crowd Sept. 25 to march through the streets of the village and gather afterwards for a ceremony at picturesque Centennial Park.
CHECK OUT ●
The annual Renfrew County march included a special feature this year - the official launch of an initiative to create four new monuments across Ontario next year to honour survivors of sexual violence. The Countdown Public Art Project is a community-wide Renfrew County initiative begun in 2016 by the Women's Sexual Assault Centre of Renfrew County, Red Dress Productions and Ottawa
Valley Creative Arts Open Studio. They joined with hundreds of community members, artists and sexual violence professionals to create the first permanent monument in Canada aimed at increasing awareness of the problem of sexual assault and recognizing survivors. A pebble mosaic public monument was erected in Centennial Park along with three smaller sister monuments at the Women's
Sexual Assault Centre in Pembroke, Killaloe's Station Park and Pikwakanagan First Nation. "Since the unveilings in October 2016, people have gathered at the monuments for Take Back the Night events and less formal gatherings," says a press release. "So organizers felt it fitting to unveil the expansion of the Countdown Public Art Legacy Project at this year's Take Back the Night march."

on the minds of the large crowd at the Greater Madawaska election meeting on Sept. 27. It was a packed house at the Calabogie Community Centre to hear from mayoral candidates Lois Thomson, Brian Hunt, and Glenda McKay. The incumbent, McKay, touted her accomplishments over the last four years while adding the job isn't done yet. Hunt, a councillor in the township, talked of following the will of the residents while warning that some can't afford to pay more in taxes. And the newcomer, Thomson, talked about smart growth and strategic spending to lure business and residents. The well-behaved crowd, which erupted in good-natured laughter several times, came up with 30 questions at the Lions Club-hosted event. Many had to do with putting more money into private roads: one should be sanded and plowed; another widened; still others paved to ensure accessibility for emergency vehicles. Safety is paramount for Thomson, who also linked paving roads to waterfront properties as a way to encourage converting cottages to year-round, higher tax-contrib-

If it wasn't for Dr. Arthur Dick, there wouldn't be a Hospice Renfrew. That was the reaction Monday of former Hospice Renfrew board chair Connie Legg, who was grieving her colleague and friend. Dr. Dick died Sunday at Renfrew Victoria Hospital (RVH) at the age of 72. "If angels walked on earth, he would be one of them," said Legg. "He was the kindest man I've ever met." "He was a wonderful man, very caring and very active in Rotary," said Rotarian Marg Tubman. Dr. Dick served his community and profession as a family doctor and active Rotarian in Renfrew for 35 years before being diag-
vices are as fundamental as keeping the primary school open. On economic development, McKay talked about doing gap analyses on broadband and power; mentioning a few times how the ski resort's expansion plans were disrupted by the need for a $1 million upgrade in electrical infrastructure. Thomson suggested a study to determine the best location for an industrial park and internet marketing advice for existing businesses. Hunt said tourism is the township's business, and that internet services and grant money from high levels of government will grow the local economy. Thomson, a broadcast advertising producer, said she has travelled the country interviewing municipal leaders on best practices. During the course of the evening, she went on the attack, particularly against Hunt, saying she is tired of hearing how the township has no money to invest. Hunt, a business graduate with 30 years of experience at a road-building company, pushed back against "fearmongering." McKay, a former Bell Canada manager and consulting company owner, was at times sidelined and repeatedly forgot to speak into the microphone. Election day is Oct. 22.
nosed with Alzheimer's in 2010. He was admired province-wide for his work and expertise in palliative care, receiving the prestigious June Callwood Award for outstanding volunteerism in the hospice sector. "It don't think people realized just what an impact he made in palliative care," said Legg, who as the palliative care nurse co-ordinator at RVH, worked side-by-side with Dr. Dick for 10 years. He was a "key member" of a palliative care team at RVH that spearheaded the campaign turning a dream of a hospice into reality, she said. "He was so proud and happy that we were getting the first rural palliative care hospice in the province It's still a big deal." A long-time advocate for hospice palliative care in Renfrew and surrounding area, he mentored and educated many staff, including Legg, on the subject. He took on many end-of-life patients, treating them with care, comfort and compassion "like the way he led his life," said Legg. After Hospice Renfrew opened in 2008, Dr. Dick
– Derek Dunn served as a volunteer member on the board and was later made a life-time honourary member. Dr. Dick had 29 years of perfect attendance with the Renfrew Rotary Club and was a Paul Harris Fellow. Renfrew Rotary president John Wilson said Dr. Dick and his wife Joan ran the Rotary international exchange program for the club for years, hosting several students themselves. Two of them invited them overseas to their weddings, said Tubman. "He obviously made quite an impact," she said. "He was a real gentleman." "It's a huge loss," said Legg. "He gave so freely of his time, talents and knowledge to help others." Dick is survived by his wife Joan (Child), daughters Kathryn Bates and Laura Mick, and four grandchildren. A memorial visitation will be held at the Goulet Funeral Home in Renfrew on Wednesday, Oct. 3 from 1-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. A funeral service will be celebrated at St. Paul's Anglican Church on Thursday, Oct. 4 at 11 a.m.
ASSISTANCE PROGRAM IN EFFECT FOR CALABOGIE RESIDENTS SHERRY HAAIMA sherr y.haaima @metroland.com A week following tornadoes that destroyed homes and caused widespread damage in areas including Calabogie, Kinburn, Ottawa and in Quebec, the Ontario Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing activated the province's Disaster Recovery Assistance program. Affected residents can now apply for assistance, said Renfrew-NipissingPembroke MPP John Yakabuski, who toured Calabogie Thursday, Sept. 27. Greater Madawaska Fire Chief Darryl Wagner was
MUSIC LESSONS among the officials joining Yakabuski, along with Mayor Glenda McKay, Coun. Brian Hunt and Katrina Grantis of Emergency Management Ontario. Wagner has praised the efforts of the township's fire department, as well as roads staff. Between 25-30 houses were damaged, he said. There is no official damage estimate yet, but he said he expected the number to be between $2 million and $5 million. "Normalcy is somewhat returning," he said. Hydro had been restored to all affected areas by 6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 24. The Township of Greater Madawaska has indicated it will host a community meeting to answer the public's questions, instructing residents to watch its Facebook page for details. Following his tour, Yakabuski did note that to qualify for the disaster assistance, property owners are first required to go through their insurance companies. The funding covers costs over and above what is covered by insurance, he said.
"We toured the area of Partridge Drive and Stones Lake and some of the damage on the main drag of the village," said Yakabuski. And while there was still plenty of evidence of the storm, much has already been done by way of cleanup. "It's a testament to the resiliency of the people. They weren't sitting around and waiting," he said. "I'm always impressed with the toughness and resiliency of these communities. They roll up their sleeves and keep going on." Yakabuski had a chance to speak with several affected homeowners, some who are awaiting structural assessments of their houses. He too lauded officials, power and communications workers, and the people of the area for their extensive hard work. "The help from neighbours has been tremendously appreciated and impressive," he said. Because of the large number of downed trees that many residents have on their property, the township has waived the need to buy a burning permit until Oct. 9. Those burning brush are

asked to adhere to the bylaw that forbids daytime fires. They can be started two hours before sunset and must be extinguished two hours after sunrise. The Township of McNab/ Braeside has taken similar measures. "In light of the storm on Friday, we'd like to remind our residents that brush and lawn debris can always be taken to the landfill at no charge during operating hours," says the website. "Due to the lengthy power outage over the weekend spoiled food can also be taken to the landfill and the fee will be waived at this time. At the Horton all-candidates meeting Sept. 24, mayoralty candidate Dave Bennett asked in his wrap-up speech for a half a minute of silence to show support for the tornado victims "just down the road" who lost their homes. "It easily could have been us," he said. He urged people in the packed hall to use the silence to contemplate "what they need and how we can help them." -With files from John Carter

MUNICIPAL ELECTION
SCOTT: STOP TOWN OF RENFREW'S SPENDING "MADNESS" JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com When it comes to municipal politics in his home town, Callum "Cal" Scott is persistent and consistent. The Renfrew-born and -raised Scott is again running to bring back "financial sanity" to the town's finances. It's been a common theme in all of his four campaigns for mayor. "Stop the (spending) madness," he said, maintaining the town's debt has risen tenfold since he first ran in 2006. "The spending is out of control. We have to change that mindset." He pointed out that if interest rates rise, the town will be in "big trouble" because of its borrowing. "I don't want Renfrew to implode." Scott charges that "you can't get the truth" regarding Renfrew's real debt, so the first thing he'd do if elected mayor is arrange a forensic audit of the town's finances "so Renfrew taxpayers know how deep the abyss is." To cut spending he would run the town like "the way I run my life," he said: frugally and "within our means." That would entail trimming wages and cutting out "wasteful" activities. If elected, there will be no more "sunshine list employees" at town hall, he promised, referring to the government's annual list of
John Carter/Metroland Calum Scott: seeking the mayor's chair in Renfrew. employees who make more than $100,000 annually. Scott said as the Town of Renfrew has been "very good" to its employees for many years, they should "give something back to the taxpayers" by helping eradicate the debt. He said he hoped employees would take a pay cut but if not in areas where contracts prevail, council would have to consider "job elimination." He said he would endeavour to save money by turning the fire department into a volunteer service and replacing the OPP with a community police, which could also cover Horton and Admaston/Bromley. "A police officer is a police officer ... who should do everything," he said, arguing that the town doesn't need all the costly specialists the OPP provides. Community policing would be more accountable to the public, he maintained. "Let's get back to the way it used to be ... with mutual respect. It would help us get our sense of
community back." He promised to give back $5,000 of his mayor's salary to the town and $5,000 to local charities. Scott said he would save money by going back to the days of leaving the high snowbanks along streets, unless it impeded traffic, compromised safety or caused a flooding risk. He also would cut back on street cleaning and replace salting with sanding. The town should be concentrating on core services such as roads, sidewalks, waste disposal, police, fire, water and sewer, not frills, he said, adding any spare money should go toward the debt. He said the town cannot afford such recreation projects as an indoor pool or second ice pad. Instead, the Renfrew beach should be cleaned up and reopened with new sand, paddleboats and a wading pool built by volunteers using surplus Forgie cinder blocks. He argued that the water rates are out of whack, with residents and groups such as the Salvation Army paying far too much for what they use. He himself is asking for a rebate from the town for what he maintains are water overcharges, the latest in a series of challenges on service issues. He charged that recent councils have embarked on a series of misguided initiatives that have cost rate-
payers dearly. "The last half decent mayor was Audrey Green," he said. "We've been going down since then." The purchase of the post office building for $350,000 and selling it for $100,000 is an example of the town's mixed up priorities, he said. It could have built a "fancy house" for the $195,000 it spent on a new tourist booth, he added. In the current climate, it was stupid for council to use age to dismiss the fire chief, he said. Scott said he is asked why he doesn't give up his quest for mayor. "Because Renfrew is drowning (in spending)," he said. "This is my town and I'm trying to save it. " He said he realizes if elected he would have a difficult time persuading the rest of council to support some of his more unorthodox measures. However, being mayor would allow him to "let the public know what they are doing at town hall." As well, "if I won, it would encourage others with the same mindset to run next time," he added. Scott is a self-proclaimed small-c conservative (his uncle was former Renfrew South Diefenbaker-era Conservative MP James Baskin) and is a fan of many of the policies of new provincial Premier Doug Ford, especially his removal of the Ontario Hydro board.

year capital forecast. "Improvements are being better planned ... I don't want to do band-aide work any more," he said. "We're preventing problems before they happen." Kate Windle, who is seeking her fourth term on town council, is an unabashed Renfrew booster. She said council has had many achievements in the last four years, and for her some of the most "fun" were working with developers who are restoring historic buildings. A supporter of the plans for the post office building, she said she is glad she could help "smooth the paper trail for investors who purchase and renovate our historic structures." Windle, who has been self-employed for the past 40 years in town, primarily as a
barber, is also a strong supporter of healthy living. She admires the strides made by the local medical community, who "inspire me and that keeps me moving forward." She said during her three terms on council, the town has upgraded its water and sewer plants ("we have some of the best drinking water in the country"), improved streets and multi-use pathways, and maintained, built and rebuilt many facilities. For the full story on the five incumbents, see the Renfrew Mercury website at www.insideottawavalley.com. Challenging the five incumbents for seats around the Renfrew council table are James Miller, Clint McWhirter, Sandi Heins and Adam Laviolette.

All five incumbent councillors are seeking a return to Renfrew council. Mike Coulas, who is seeking a second straight term on council, said his first four years were both gratifying and an eyeopener. The Royal LePage O'Neill Realty sales representative and former Renfrew Chrysler owner was surprised how little control council has in many areas. For instance, he campaigned last time against high water and hydro rates, but soon realized because of provincial rules there is little council can do about them. However, council has managed to negotiate an "very attractive" 10-year contract with the Ontario Clean Water Agency. "I'm very excited about that," he said. Coulas, who chairs the development and works committee, is also proud of how well the town is utilizing the many infrastructure grants it has been successful in receiving. Town staff have been "diligent" in recognizing grant opportunities and keeping the money flowing to Renfrew, he said. Andrew Evans, who is seeking his third term on council, has high praise for the town's senior staff for leveraging government money to improve local infrastructure. Council and staff worked well to ensure there was money for improvements that put the town on the right track to attract more development, he said. However, he isn't happy about the way council handled the sale of the post office building. He would rather have seen council wait "for the right time and the right buyer." Know for grilling Renfrew Power Generation on its expansion project costs, Evans said he's honoured to be appointed to represent council on its board. "Lesson learned," he said. "Because this way is more accountable to the public." Evans said his experience and confidence has grown the longer he serves on council. His downtown office is a valuable resource as it's there he hears firsthand what's on ratepayers' minds. Arlene Jamieson, who is seeking to be re-elected town councillor Oct. 22, said council has "done a ton of work to make Renfrew a better place to live" thanks to a number of "tough but good decisions." Jamieson is pleased that Renfrew has put economic development and tourism on the front burner as they are her strengths. She's proud of her leadership role in the town's community profile, which recently won a national award, and its first ever business retention and expansion action plan. Her experience gained as owner of Venture Interiors with its clients all over the Valley and director of Ottawa Valley Tourism has provided invaluable, she said. Renfrew has become a "leader in what smaller communities can do if they work
hard and work together," Jamieson said, adding that when she tackles a job, she "jumps in" with both feet. Tom Sidney, who is seeking a second term as Renfrew councillor, feels the current council has done a good job of restoring the public's faith in local politicians by being open and transparent in its decisions. The manager of the Robbie Dean Family Counselling Centre said council has been proactive instead of reactive, which wasn't always the case in past terms. Council has given the green light for several infrastructure projects and helped organize four festivals, an ATV bylaw and a BMX track to attract tourism, he said. Sidney is also pleased council has charted a course for the future with a 10-

Make the call—see if you qualify for free energy-saving products With the major heating season just a few months away, Renfrew Hydro has been talking to its customers about the Affordability Fund and encouraging them to see if they qualify for free energy-saving products to help cut electricity costs and make homes or apartments more comfortable. Customers who use electric heat, in particular, should take advantage of this program as they may qualify for Level 3 with up to $15,000 in funding to make their homes less reliant on electricity for heating. In recent weeks, there has been confusion about what programs are still available following the Ontario Government’s announcement to scrap green energy programs funded by the Cap and Trade program. In fact, the Affordability Fund Trust (administered by Renfrew Hydro)–continues to offer free energy-saving products. It has not been affected by recent changes in government funding for energy efficiency initiatives. Renfrew Hydro’s goal is to help you unravel the misconceptions and encourage you to take the next step: find out if you are eligible! Already, Renfrew Hydro has helped 75 customers take advantage of free products through the Affordability Fund. This has included air to air heat pumps, energy efficient appliances, and smaller energysaving initiatives such as free LED bulbs.

John Carter/Metroland James Miller: running for Renfrew council. Yet the town is considering hiding it away at Ma-Te-Way, he said. If that happens, Renfrew will lose an important attraction as donations will dry up and some of most popular items will go to other museums, he said. Miller said if elected he would open an office where residents could come in and "share ideas for improvements." Town hall should improve its attitude toward complaints, seeing them not as negatives but "opportunities for change," he said. "After all, they (town councillors, staff) work for us." With a vehicle for public input, people won't have to resort to petitions, Miller said. Instead, issues can be handled in a "business-like manner," presented properly to council and go to the appropriate people "so something can be done about it." Miller said he has "a soft spot" for Renfrew since a local family took him in when he was a troubled teen. That's why he moved here in 2001 and why he has actively participated in doctor recruitment, the Salvation Army, masons, Golden Age Centre and other community causes. "I want to show how much I appreciate what the town has done for me and I can do that by putting my vision and experience to work on council."
I thought the Ontario Government scrapped programs to help citizens make their homes and apartments more energy efficient. The Affordability Fund continues to provide eligible hydro customers free energy-saving: • appliances • LED bulbs • electronic thermostats • insulation • replacement of electric baseboard heaters with air-to-air heat pumps • replacement of electric heating with gas appliances (in some cases) The Affordability Fund Trust is funded by the Government of Ontario. Renfrew Hydro is administering the program locally. Start the process: call 1.855.494.3863 or email info@AffordAbilityFund.org You’ll get a call from the Affordability Fund and will be asked about net household income and your average electricity bill. If approved, Renfrew Hydro does the rest.

I thought the Affordability Fund was a scam because it seemed to be too good to be true. When in doubt, customers are encouraged to get in touch with Renfrew Hydro at 613.432.4884 or by email at info@renfrewhydro.com to talk about concerns and verify the authenticity of programs. When the Affordability Fund was announced, Renfrew Hydro applied for and received $500,000+ in funding to help its customers. The funding is in place, but you have to take the first step and find out if you are eligible by contacting the Affordability Fund Trust. I wasn’t eligible for other hydro assistance programs based on my income so I didn’t think the Affordability Fund applied to me. Eligible customers can qualify for up to $15,000 in products and installation. Here is an example. If your total household income is $45,334 after tax and your annual hydro bill is $2,000, you would be classified as a Level 2 beneficiary and be eligible for up to $4,500 in energy-efficient upgrades, most notably energy-efficient household appliances.
If you have not applied for assistance from the Ontario Electricity Support Program (OESP) or the Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP), you can apply to the Affordability Fund. The Affordability Fund is not a low income assistance program. It is a program designed to help medium income households reduce the electricity burden. If you have qualified already for LEAP, OESP, or the Home Assistance Program (HAP), you can’t qualify for the Affordability Fund. If you don’t qualify, perhaps family and friends will. Please let them know about this program.

I am already cutting corners to save electricity on my own. How is the Affordability Fund going to make a difference to me and my bill? The Affordability Fund was set up to help energyconscious citizens ease what they spend on electricity. The Affordability Fund recognizes that the cost of electricity has created a growing burden on hydro customers. Even though most customers’ hydro bills have been reduced through short term government initiatives in 2017, some customers’ hydro bills are still a burden and a concern and expected to increase in the future.
I don’t own my home or apartment so I didn’t think I was eligible to apply to the Affordability Fund.

If your name is on your hydro bill, you are eligible to apply. It doesn’t matter if you rent or own or live in a house or an apartment.

Jim Miller says that Renfrew council needs an infusion of vision in its decision-making. The candidate for town councillor said his experience operating MEQA Consulting Ltd. with major clients across North America gives him the ability to provide that wider view and the contacts to bring more business to town. The former town councillor (2010 to 2014) said if council had more vision it wouldn't be selling off the town's assets. He maintains too much of the post office building discussion was held "behind closed doors," with an exaggerated estimate for fixing the roof being used to sell the property too cheaply. As for the recreation centre, instead of selling it, he suggested council look into ripping up the floor and stage and locate a nofrills swimming pool there. Miller said two of his main priorities if elected will be to attract new business and improve communication between town hall and the public. His extensive consulting work with towns and companies has given him experience in what would work and what wouldn't in economic development for Renfrew, he said, noting he played a role in bringing Nova Pole to town when USS Manufacturing left. Renfrew needs to take advantage of being served by three highways and being close to large markets in Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal, he said. Bringing new business to town would help slow the trend that has seen property taxes double in town since 2001 and reduce the number of empty storefronts downtown, he added. One positive way for the town to grow is promote tourism, Miller said. As one of the founders of the Birthplace NHA/NHL Museum, he said it is an example of a positive attraction that provides significant spinoff benefits by attracting 3,000 visitors annually to Renfrew.

PUT THE PHONE DOWN: DISTRACTED DRIVING FINES AND PENALTIES TO SKYROCKET JAN. 1 If you have yet to kick the habit of sneaking peeks at your cellphone while driving, now might be a good time to start. Ontario's new distracted driving laws are taking effect on Jan. 1, 2019, and they mean business. The first offence will mean a three-day suspension and a $1,000 fine (the current set fine is $490); the second offence will mean a seven-day suspension and a $2,000 fine; and three or more offences lead to a 30-day suspension, a $3,000 fine and six demerit points. You also have to pay an administrative fee of almost $200 each time you have your license returned. Also, keep in mind that distracted driving is no longer limited to texting and making phone calls. The Government of Ontario has posted a list of activities that count as distracted driving. Included on the list is everything from eating to simply holding an electronic device to entering information into a GPS. Drivers are also not permitted to use hand-held devices while stopped at a traffic light. The exception is if the driver is using the device to call the police, fire department or emergency medical services personnel. Officials emphasize that collisions also occur when vehicles are not in motion. Often, drivers are not paying attention to the light cycle and frequently miss advance turn signals or green lights. Drivers who are focused on a cellphone or other device are also not paying attention to the actions of other road users, including pedestrians and cyclists. What is allowed? Display screens that are built into the vehicle and used for safety reasons are permitted, as are GPS screens mounted onto the dashboard (assuming you enter the information before you start driving), cellphones with an earpiece, headset or Bluetooth device using voice-activated dialing (but only to activate or deactivate a "hands-free" function, and only if the device is mounted or secured) and portable media players (but you must activate your playlist before driving). If you must use your cellphone in the car, it is recommended that you pull off the roadway in such a way that you are not impeding traffic, or find a place to park lawfully; however, remember that it is dangerous to stop on the shoulder of a 400-series highway, and drivers are prohibited from doing so for a reason other than an emergency. If the situation is not an emergency, drivers are advised to exit the freeway at an interchange or pull into the nearest service centre. Not only does distracted driving jeopardize the safety of the driver and everyone else on the road, but imagine how silly you would feel being slapped with a licence suspension and a fine worth thousands of dollars because you couldn't resist checking a new text? Time to put the phone down. It's not worth it. For more information, visit http:// www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/safety/distracted-drivingfaq.shtml.

WHO WE ARE LETTERS & COMMENTARY LACK OF PLANNING FOR RENFREW ROAD PROJECTS To the editor: Is there not someone responsible for "planning" in Renfrew's public works department? Most of the road projects seem to be launched and conducted without any plan or strategy. Given the town knew that Raglan was to be redeveloped, who thought that ripping up Barnet Boulevard at the same time would be a good idea? Could development and works director, Mike Asselin, not have anticipated the traffic chaos and postponed the Barnet work, or opted for another project? There's also the town's mess on Munroe. They spent months in 2017 repairing a culvert, and now that has to be replaced because the work was improperly done and caved in. If they knew this new work was required back in the spring of 2018, why didn't they
repair it in the summer before Central school opened in September? Unfortunately for those using Munroe, all this roadwork pain will not benefit them when complete. Munroe continues to be one of the worst potholed streets in town. This is made worse because it's in front of the school and daycare. Cars and buses are constantly swerving to avoid potholes and poorly patched asphalt. This puts hundreds of children and babies in danger on this very congested avenue. Renfrew's mayor, council and works department need to dramatically improve their planning abilities.

INTERESTING COMPARISON OF ARNPRIOR/RENFREW STAFF EARNERS To the editor: Recently I was browsing through the Sunshine List and I came across the following interesting
fact. Renfrew, population 8,000, has 12 town employees whose remuneration meets or exceeds the Sunshine base of $100,000 p.a. On the other hand, Arnprior, population 9,000 and growing, has only four similarly reimbursed town employees. This imbalance does not seem reasonable to me, but it may be partly responsible for the ever growing burden of our municipal taxes. Premier Ford should be congratulated for keeping at least one of his pre-election promises and he will need lots of luck to withstand the opposition he will surely receive in his attempt to bring the ratio of chiefs to Indians back to a reasonable figure.

FALL IS A BUSY TIME FOR ANIMALS BIRDS, BEAVERS AMONG THE CREATURES ON THE GO THIS FALL, WRITES MICHAEL RUNTZ MICHAEL RUNTZ Column
With the arrival of autumn come predictable events. One is that tree leaves start changing colour, with red maples leading the way. That species is unusual in producing two different colours of fall foliage. Those colours are linked to the types of flowers the trees produce in spring. Red Maples bearing only male flowers have leaves that turn red. The leaves of red maples bearing female flowers turn bright yellow. Many of the most colour-
ful birds that call this area home are currently winging their way to points farther south. Before they left, many males, including those of scarlet tanagers and bobolinks, exchanged their colourful plumage for the sombre tones that adorn the opposite sex. The majority of songbirds are now migrating south, many flying up to 500 kilometres each night when conditions are favourable. Especially early in the morning a cacophony fills the air as flocks of Canada Geese announce their arrival from the north. Many land in fields from which corn has been harvested, digging among the stubble for spillage. Geese are not the only animals to be exhibiting an interest in food. Even though winter is still months away, beavers are currently creating larders. These industrious rodents leave the water usually at night to fell trees on land. Small-diameter trees are cut up into short pieces and dragged to the wa-
ter over well-used trails appropriately called "drag trails." Beavers remove the branches from larger felled trees before sectioning their trunks. Harvested material is towed across the water to the beaver's lodge. Here, it is placed next to the lodge in a large pile. Less palatable food such as branches from conifers and other trees offering low nutrition, as well as branches that already had their bark eaten are placed on top of the pile. These provide ballast to hold the choice material under water. When a beaver arrives with branches of trembling aspen and other preferred trees, it dives and places them at the bottom of the pile. When winter seals off the pond's surface with ice, the prized foods below the ice remain accessible. In addition to harvesting food for winter's consumption, beavers are busily getting their lodges ready for the season of cold. They are now adding additional sticks

The two materials are carried in different ways. Mud, which is dredged up from the bottom of the pond, is held against the chest by the beaver's front paws and arms. Sticks are carried in the mouth. It is rare to see a beaver climbing atop its lodge without bringing both materials in a "double carry." To me, this feat is puzzling. How can an animal with huge hind feet waddle up the side of a stick-strewn
lodge - head titled up with mouth full of sticks and front arms pressing mud against its chest - and not trip? Beavers really are remarkable animals! The Nature email is mruntz@start.ca. Michael Runtz is a long-

MCWHIRTER: EASE RENFREW'S RESIDENTIAL TAX BURDEN JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com Clint McWhirter wants Renfrew council to do more to shift the property tax burden off homeowners in town. The key to reduce the 63 per cent share of taxes that come from the residential sector is to attract more industry and commerce to Renfrew, said the candidate for councillor. The parts manager for Renfrew Chrysler and former Seaway Tire owner who served two terms on council under Sandi Heins and Bill Ringrose before "just missing" getting elected last time said he has the
background to promote economic development in town. McWhirter said Renfrew is well positioned to capitalize on the arrival of the Highway 17 four-laning with its attractive and affordable lifestyle. However, council needs to ensure potential businesses, industry, residents and tourists know about the benefits of relocating to town. Town hall has to be responsive to business needs, he added, noting more should be done to help ease the pain of downtown businesses during the Raglan Street reconstruction. "They could have sat down with the BIA and

considered. "The downtown is important to the town," he said. "We don't need any more empty stores there." McWhirter said his council service, business background and strong community participation (especially with the Templar Knights motorcycle group) would be valuable in adding some needed experience to council. The successful council candidates in 2014 didn't have a lot of experience with the realities of being a councillor, he said, noting they promised to lower taxes and water rates but found out they had to raise them.
While there has been substantial infrastructure work in the past four years, much of it was initiated by the previous council, he claimed. That council, of which he was part, was stymied because of a freeze on infrastructure funding by senior levels of government. When the money started flowing, with about with six months left in its term, "we jumped on it." So it's not fair for current councillors to blame the previous council for letting the infrastructure deteriorate, he said. Just as it was also not fair for candidates in the last election to make unrealistic promises to drop water rates when
the province has mandated the service has to be selfsustaining and have enough reserves included for future improvements. Despite his belief in the importance of recreational activities and his active participation in coaching and fundraising, he stressed he is realistic when if comes to supporting new facilities. He believes the town can't afford an indoor pool until it attracts a more diverse tax base and persuades neighbouring municipalities to pay a share. As for a second ice pad, he would like to see the usage and cost figures before making a decision.

HORTON MAYOR HOPEFULS EXHIBIT CONTRASTING LEADERSHIP STYLES JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com
Community Centre, an amenity that is having "huge" benefits for all residents. He agreed with Kingsbury that the township's procedural bylaw must be abided by, but warned it has become "so restrictive" council can't do its business properly. It doesn't give councillors a "fair shake" and limits the ability of residents to have a say, he claimed. Bennett advocates returning to the five-committee system that was in place prior to the 2014 election. Kingsbury supports retaining the committee-of-the-whole system. Bennett argues the incommittee system doesn't give councillors and the public adequate time to address issues. "We're no longer doing our job," he said, adding committee heads should be given "free rein" over their monthly meetings before bringing recommendations to council, instead of "being at the mercy of the mayor" to determine the agenda. It would lead to a more "unified" and productive council and happier committee members, he maintained. He suggested it is frustrating for the recreation committee to work so hard to raise money, then have to ask for it back from township coffers. Kingsbury responded by noting the current system was recommended by staff and approved by the township's lawyer because the "old system he (Bennett) is referring to wasn't working." The current system has proved to be more efficient and a much better use of councillors' time than the previous system, he said. The contrast in the two candidates' style was also evident in a question about an assessment shift that increases the See MAYOR, page 13

Hortons two mayoral candidates are both campaigning on fiscal responsibility and fostering teamwork as ways to ensure the township prospers. However, they differ on how that should be achieved. At an all-candidates meeting Sept. 24 attended by a full house (200+) at the Horton Community Centre, Mayor Bob Kingsbury and challenger, Coun. Dave Bennett, sparred over style of leadership and how council should operate. Bennett wants to "stop" the string of tax increases and change the council committee system. Kingsbury maintains that "all is well in the township," so if it's not broke why fix it. Arguing that a 15 per cent tax increase in the four years Kingsbury has been mayor is too much, Bennett promised a zero tax increase in 2019 and no more than two per cent annually in the rest of the four-year term of the council to be elected Oct. 22. "It's doable," he said, adding it's a matter of trimming the budget and finding savings. He supports rolling back (to the 2014 level) the councillor stipend increase that compensated for the reduction of a taxfree provision. As OPP costs make up a major portion of the increase, the township should form a community policing advisory committee like Admaston/ Bromley to give Horton a "stronger voice" in policing decisions, he said. He would also like to see the fire department's role expanded into such areas as water rescue and natural disaster response. Kingsbury defended council's budget decisions, noting last year's flooding showed that "we have to be flexible" and
maintain reserves in case of unexpected emergencies. Under his leadership, council has accomplished a great deal in the last four years with improvements to roads, landfill, and public works and fire equipment, he said. It's been achieved while keeping the tax rate increase to two to three per cent and not depleting reserves, he added. "We have a handle on our taxes," he said, adding that all council should share in the credit. Kingsbury said he has represented the township well at the county level, successfully fighting against increased agricultural designation and for expanded bridge work. He said he is proud how well the township pulled together in last year's flooding. "I've never seen a community pull together as we did," he said. Kingsbury said the township has weathered majored staff changes and is well positioned for the future. He admitted the current council has had some hiccups, but is learning from its mistakes and will fix them in the next term. "Let set aside our differences and work for the community together," Kingsbury said. He promised to be a hardworking, dedicated mayor, transparent and open to all. Noting his transparency was questioned when he volunteered his time and equipment for community projects, Bennett says council members and others should be encouraged and not criticized for helping with township initiatives. "It's all about working together to get the township to grow," he said, pointing to the significant volunteer contribution to the Horton

John Carter/Metroland Combing through the questions at the Horton all-candidates meeting, from left, are Horton ratepayer volunteers Stuart Nicholson, Jan potter and Dale Potter. Questions not asked at the forum will be shared with the new council.
HORTON COUNCIL CANDIDATES WOO VOTERS AT PUBLIC FORUM JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com Judging by the number of public questions, the municipal election in Horton is generating a great deal of interest. Unfortunately, after space was allotted for opening and closing statements, there was only time for five to be asked the two mayoralty and seven councillor hopefuls at the all-candidates meeting Sept. 24 at the Horton Community Centre. Moderator Dale Potter assured the audience their unasked questions would be shared with the new council after the Oct. 22 election to give members an idea of what issues are important in the township. The nine candidates were asked about council's selling of the municipal gravel pit and waterfront property on the Ottawa River and whether they were in favour of more recreation funding and committee independence. There were also questions about rising farm property taxes, money for cemeteries, and municipal ethics and procedures. Most candidates agreed with the selling of the former Timbertown property, noting there were too many liability and safety questions for it to be developed as a beach park. The money from the sale is being used to pay
off the Horton Community Centre debt with money left over available to perhaps help buy more land to expand its parking lot. All candidates agreed that if requested the township should follow McNab/Braeside's lead by allocating $100 to cemeteries as long as all get the same consideration and it doesn't discourage volunteers from maintaining them. Following are excepts from the councillor candidates' answers and their speeches. GLEN CAMPBELL: The only incumbent running for a councillor position, Campbell promised to make "informed decisions" based on his own experience, the contacts he's made as councillor, and public and staff input. An example of the importance of public input are the suggestions council received Sept. 20 at a well-attended Price Road public meeting, which changed council's minds on gating the unmaintained portion, he said. Campbell, who topped the polls in 2014, said council needed to have shovel-ready projects teed up to be able to take advantage of infrastructure grants. Council should encourage more community programs, particularly for seniors to go along with the youth offerings, and plan for more parking at the community
centre for safety reasons, he added. In response to the recreation committee question, Campbell said he'd "like to see a (recreation) business plan," find out how other townships are handling their recreation committees and consult the public. He noted he was opposed to council's decision to sell the gravel pit as he felt more effort should have gone into checking comparables. He said there is a need for council to update its bylaws and for councillors to abide by a code of conduct. Regarding the rise in agricultural land assessments, he suggested council ask MPAC representatives to explain the changes and consult with farm organizations to see if anything can be done. Campbell said council needs to be a team that "works together to keep the community strong." He issued a public thank you to outgoing councillors Bob Johnston for his long service and Jamey Larone for being a good friend and mentor. LANE CLEROUX: Cleroux said that council should help all the people who "would love to move to Horton" by working to make more building lots available and encouragSee FULL, page 13

ing the expansion of such services as high-speed internet and natural gas. He said the sale of the gravel pit should have been advertised and gone through the tender process. Responding to the ethics question, he said councillors must ensure they are "working for the residents and not for personal gain." DOUG HUMPHRIES: Humphries said he can bring a sense of history and fresh perspective to council. With the impact of the four-laning coming, council should support and encourage growth, but protect farmland, he said. His campaign is based on five Rs - he promises to be resourceful, realistic, respectful, responsible and ready (to serve). IAN MOODIE: Moodie said his door-to-door campaign is educating him on the issues important to "this great community." He told the crowd the input is helping him in his efforts to be "your voice" on a "cohesive team." Regarding the sale of the gravel pit, residents should have been given a say. Generally such amenities should be kept for future use, he said. JEFF TAYLOR: Taylor said he won't make unrealistic promises, but will face
tough topics head-on and ensure ratepayers' concerns won't fall on deaf ears. "You be honest with me and I'll be honest with you," he said. He said council needs to look into ways to prepare to handle future flooding problems and look into whether a nuclear waste site upriver will be a threat to the Ottawa River. PETER TIPPINS: Tippins suggests council should scale back on major projects and focus more on maintenance and smaller tasks that "clean up" the township. His several years with the Horton road department makes him knowledgeable about "all corners" of the township and its infrastructure, he said, adding that he's proven he can be a good team player. TOM WEBSTER: Webster said his municipal background as a director of operations and chief building official has given him a clear understanding of the role of council. He promised to be a hard-working, ethical, transparent team player who will work hard to earn the trust of Horton citizens. **** Interviews with the six nonincumbent candidates were published in earlier editions of the Mercury and are still available online at www.insideottawavalley.com.

municipal tax burden on farmers. Kingsbury said it's not likely council can influence the assessment or lower the tax rate, but it can discuss possible solutions with other levels of government. Bennett advocated a more aggressive approach, saying he would go to Queen's Park to "get
in their faces and explain this is not working." He said that tactic worked for him in Tim Hortons successful lobby to get traffic lights on Highway 17 at Bruce Street. Both candidates have more than 20 years of council experience. Bennett was first elected as deputy reeve in 1982 and Kingsbury joined council in 1990.

RENFREW WAG N' WALK RAISES ALMOST $2,000 FOR RESCUE PETS JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com Valley Animal Rescue's second annual Wag n' Walk and barbecue Sept. 22 in Renfrew raised almost $2,000. The money will go toward the non-profit group's veterinary bills for three dog surgeries this summer and to fund efforts to help cats in feral colonies in Renfrew, Calabogie and Douglas. Organizers thanked all those who walked around the Renfrew Fairgrounds and pledged support for the cause. Among the donors was young Elliott Wylie, who raised $57 for food for pets in need by picking plums and selling them for preserves. Among those participating were Marlene and Peyton Lavallee with two rescue Chihuahas, Daisy and

Diego, walking in memory of Flora, a rescue from a puppy mill who died in August. Although Flora had major health problems, she lived the last four years of her life comfortably fostered by Marlene. Organizers also thanked its volunteers, the Renfrew Agricultural Society, and vendors Pet Valu, Faith Ann Art and Portraits, and Pawramedics Pet First Aid course. Valley Animal Rescue has two fundraisers planned for October. On Oct. 6, there will be a Thanksgiving bake sale at The Warehouse (next to Metro) in downtown Renfrew. It will feature homemade pies, pickles, relish, preserves and more from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. or until the goods run out. "Nobody needs to bake for Thanksgiving," say organizers.

A Renfrew man is in police custody after an arrest warrant was obtained following an assault investigation where the suspect fled the scene, OPP report.

STORY OF JOAN OF ARC ETCHED IN HER MEMORY, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column
ÂĽMother was never at a loss when it came time to get the family together for a bit of fun. So we celebrated every holiday, even if we didn't have the remotest connection to it. That included Lincoln's birthday, St. John The Baptiste Day, the Twelfth of July. At this time of year, Mother was able to work around the sad story of Joan of Arc through the simple act of the burning of the fall leaves. Of course, it was called "The Burning of the Leaves Day," but I knew there would be a heavy emphasis on the Joan of Arc story, which caused me no end of grief. I hated the story I knew was coming with the burning of the leaves, but once we got that out of the way, we got down to the serious business of watching the mountain of leaves go up in smoke. It took us a period of several days, and sometimes most of a week for what we called "The Burning at the Stake Night." I called it The Burning of the Stake Night, which I thought was more humane, as I pictured the young French saint being tied to a stake and going up in flames.
But we had to listen to the story before we actually lit the pile of leaves, which Emerson said took all the fun out of the evening. To get ready, we raked mountains of leaves into a huge mound in the centre of the front yard. This always took place on a Saturday, and we had to have the pile well away from the barns and the old log house, or the whole place could go up in flames. Father also insisted we burn a small pile at a time, so that the flames wouldn't get out of hand. Once we got the Joan of Arc story out of the way, we would settle down to enjoy the spectacle before us. We each would have a long slim piece of green wood for what I considered the most fun of the entire evening. Mother would have placed a tin plate of sliced pieces of back bacon, on the seat of a kitchen chair, and these we threaded onto the stick, and with the bacon fat sizzling into the fire, we'd watch the pieces cook into a golden brown ... crisp and delicious morsels to pop into our mouths when they were cool enough to eat. Over the evening we would go through a plate full of bacon pieces. It would take at least two hours to work through the mound of leaves, and then Mother would take her harmonica out of her apron pocket,

and we'd all sing the songs we knew so well. Long after the last ember had died down, we would stay on the logs we had used as benches and watch Father take a pail and fill it from the watering trough and douse what was left of the burning leaves. For days our clothes would smell of burning leaves. We wouldn't be wearing our school clothes, so we didn't carry the

odour off the farm. But I loved the smell of the bonfire, and I could never pass the back door where our clothes hung on a nail, without pressing my nose into the folds of whatever I had worn the night we had burned the leaves. Father didn't think much of the effort we went to. In his day, he would tell us, the leaves were left where they had fallen. The snow would cover them over the winter, and grass would grow right on top of them. But he went along with yet another idea of Mother's that she brought to the farm at Northcote. My sister Audrey said to him, it was the line of least resistance. Interested in an electronic

REACH FOR THE RAINBOW RADIOTHON SET FOR OCT. 21 NORM DAGG It's almost that time again. The annual Reach For the Rainbow Radiothon in support of Sunshine Coach Service is Sunday, Oct. 21, 1-5 p.m. The fundraiser will be broadcast live over Valley Heritage Radio (VHR) 98.7 with anchor host Art Jamieson in charge of proceedings. This is the time of year
that Friends of the Disabled (Renfrew) reach out for support to help keep Sunshine Coach viable and fares affordable for all who depend on the service every day to overcome transportation barriers. There will be an open house at VHR studios, at 3009 Burnstown Rd., and everyone is welcome. The Cavanagh Stage will fea-
ture continuous live entertainment and showcase some of the Valley's favourite performers. You can take a mini-tour of some of the specialized vehicles in the fleet with a driver on hand to explain how the transportation needs of our fellow citizens who are living with disabilities are met. Bring your change to contribute to the Kilos of Coins total.
The day-of pledge line is 613-432-7299. Every year businesses, clubs, organizations and individuals pitch in to ensure that Sunshine Coach can continue to provide assistance to those who need accessible transportation in our community. Every dollar raised during the Radiothon remains in our community and for over three decades public support has been, and continues to be, critical to the success of Sunshine Coach.
OTTAWA VALLEY GRACE MINISTRY Sundays @ 2PM, 431 Albert St., Renfrew We do not take a collection nor ask for money. We also don’t have any paid positions including the Pastor’s. Visit or contact us at: 613-432-6059. Head Pastor: Rev. Bill McMillan u “YOSe Rai uP” Me
We have been fortunate over the last two years to have had many artists from around the Valley come and share their expertise with Renfrew Art Guild members and the public in participatory demonstrations. Sometimes members themselves share their love of a given medium. At our next meeting Oct. 9, I have volunteered to give a fun-for-all demonstration
in producing an abstract floral mixed media work on artist quality board. When we refer to the term "abstract" when describing art, it should be pointed out that most people use the word incorrectly. We have three approaches to describing the subject matter in a work of art. "Representational" art attempts to describe the world much as it is seen (like Robert Bateman's paintings of animals). "Ab-
stract" art takes reality and plays with its appearance so it is no longer photographically real. Think Picasso. "Non-Representational" art is about producing something with art materials and methods without it looking like anything else in the outside world. Think of dribble paintings. As always, we invite the public to join us. There will be assist kits to enable those who do not want to

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Oh Mary,conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3 times). Say this prayer for three consecutive days and then you must publish it and it will be granted to you. NMB

October 5th 2012 In loving memory of a wonderful Husband and Best Friend I watched you suffer, I saw you die, But all I could do was sit close by. You went away, we had to part, God eased your pain but broke my heart. They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal, But neither time or reason, Will change the way I feel. For no one knows the heartache, That lies behind our smiles No one knows how many times I have broken down and cried. I want to tell you something So there won’t be any doubt . You are so wonderful to think of But so hard to be without. Till we meet again, Love always, Gail

BILL RAINBOTH The leaves are turning colour, the days are shorter, and the nights are getting cooler. Don't despair golfers - we think there are still many great golf days ahead before the end of the season. A question I get asked regularly is "What day do you think you will be closing this year?" My answer is that we will stay open as long as the weather permits. Aeration of the greens (a painful but necessary practice) has begun, and this will help to ensure that Dragonfly will continue to have the best greens in the Ottawa Valley next spring. Our fall rates are very aggressive this year to help to offset the fact that our greens will be a little bumpier the next few weeks. This past weekend marked the end of our leagues for 2018. On Saturday, Sept. 29 our Thursday Ladies League wrapped up with an 18 hole year end tournament and banquet. This year's champs were the Weapons of Grass Destruction with an amazing score of five under par. Big thank you to Pro Shop staffer Shawn Mosiondz for his efforts all season long. The ladies really appreciate your hard work, and your wife's cheesecake! On Sunday our Friday Ladies League had an 18 hole year-end tournament of
their own. Longest drive winner was Kathy Hamilton, and Debbie O'Dwyer had the fewest putts. Most birdies for the year was Donna Falcon, and the most improved golfer was Mary-Lynn O'Brien. I would like to acknowledge and thank Pat Lee for her hard work this year. She was in charge of all the administration, the scoring, and the organization of the year end event as well. Our Men's League has also closed the door on another successful season. This year our league grew so big that it required 18 closing tournaments. The first one was on Saturday, Sept. 15, and the second was on the 22nd. Congratulations to the team of Layton Knight Locke Contracting beat the defending champions from Renfrew Pizzaria in a "putt-off." I would personally like to thank all the players from our men's and ladies leagues, and in particular each of the team captains for their organization and input over the course of the season. Though our leagues' season has just come to a close it is not too early to think about next year. Whether you are interested in signing up a new team for 2019, or renewing an existing one I would love to hear from you! Please contact me at bill@dragonflygolf.com with any interest.

BEHIND THE GLASS: CURLING SEASON STARTS THE WEEK OF OCT. 15 IN RENFREW ANDY SKLEPOWICZ Registration night has come and gone for the Renfrew Curling Club and the regular curling season starts the week of Oct. 15, with all leagues in play. If you haven't registered yet, do so soon as leagues fill up and schedules get set. Register online at the club website, https://renfrewcurling.ca, or call the club at 432-5001. If you are new to curling
or are interested in starting then Rookies Rock is the program for you. This excellent learn-to curl-program is headed by Brian Hewitt and he can be reached at 432-4633. The program combines instruction and fun, teaching you to curl safely and properly. The popular Monday night fixed teams league now has 15 teams registered. As always, there are some changes in veteran
teams and new teams that are up for a competitive challenge. There is room for one more team, so be sure to enter now. The top teams from last year have a few new changes, as the Valleau team picked up Tammy Wall, a former junior provincial team member. The Yvonne Sklepowicz team stays the same but will probably be missing their bionic skip for a while as she replaces some more
body parts with titanium. (Love you dear, and maybe we ` ll finally beat you.) The Barry Griese team is facing a big loss as Barry battles medical hurdles before he can return to the ice again. Other changes include Bob Hay joining the Bowles band, Joan Eaton joining Jamieson ` s ladies, Bernie Leclaire being picked up by Yolkowskies along with David Mullen, and Jamie Cobus joining Marcella ` s mob.
