Frewtober kicked off not with pie in the sky promises from town hall Oct. 4, but the real thing. Seven pies tantalized the judges' tastebuds at the third annual Town of Renfrew Frewtober Pie Contest. When the sampling was done, Tauney Stinson's pumpkin cheesecake pie was judged the winner, with Karen Clemow's entry second.Stinson, a Renfrew driving instructor who was once a professional baker at a Peterborough bakery, received a $100 downtown Renfrew gift card. The firsttime entrant in the pie contest said it took about two hours to perfect her creation. Given the challenging task of picking a winner was veteran pie judge Jeff Scott from Scott & Sons Hardware, Movement Yoga Studio owner Ro Nwosu and Renfrew Mercury reporter John Carter. Renfrew deputy clerk Jennifer Charkavi said the focus of Frewtober shifts from pie to craft beer and food truck offerings with the Craft Beer & Food Truck Festival Saturday, Oct. 13. The harvest/fall celebration runs from 11 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Low Square with free admission.

PARTNERSHIPS KEY IN ACQUIRING NEW SWINGS FOR DOUGLAS SCHOOL JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com St. Michael's Catholic School celebrated active living with a grand opening ceremony Oct. 2 for its new swing sets. The gathering also recognized the community partnerships that made the new playground equipment possible and promoted awareness about how important healthy activity is for students. The $8,000 for the two sets of swings on the Douglas school's grounds was the result of combined efforts by the Douglas recreation committee, the Township of Admaston/Bromley, the Renfrew County Health Unit, the Sisters of St. Joseph and the school. St. Michael's principal Mary Catherine Brisco said the original goal was for $4,000 for one set of swings. With support from the township and its recreation committee, a Healthy Kids Community Challenge grant

The Pembroke-based Sisters of St. Joseph also contributed, not once but twice. Sister Helen Smaggus told students that the Sisters
"were delighted to help you," as they lived at the priest house in Douglas temporarily when first moving to this area from Peterborough. The campaign was so successful the school was
able to acquire two sets of swings, one for the younger and another for the older students. As well there was enough money left over to buy two tether ball posts and soccer nets for the

school. In thanking those who helped raise funds, Brisco pointed out the swings are used "all the time." Sister Smaggus said she was impressed that seeing at
recess the older students assisting the younger ones get started on the swings and helping them get off safely. "It happens every day," said Brisco. The health unit's Brian Brohart told the students that the swing project fits in well with the healthy kids challenge as it "gets you guys outside to play more." Admaston/Bromley Mayor Michael Donohue, a former student at the school, noted it has been many, many years since the school had a swing. He praised Brohart and township clerk-treasurer, Annette Gilchrist, for playing key roles in acquiring the grant. Also taking part in the ribbon-cutting to officially open the playground equipment were Douglas recreation committee chair Jesse Welsh, Sisters of St. Joseph associate Anita McGean, school secretary Ellen Milosek, student council prime minister Layne Jessup and secretary Declan HelfertyScott.

It's a way to give back to a family she loves immensely. Jessica Sinclair has teamed up with Bruno Racine of the Loft Urban Salon in Westboro to host a fundraiser for her stepsister Stefanie MacGregor and her children. Stefanie's husband Adam, 38, was killed Aug. 23 when his motorcycle was hit by a transport truck at the corner of Forester's Falls Road. Sinclair wanted to help her stepsister, her young nieces Lennon and Ruby, and the baby boy expected this December. Racine and all those at Loft were quick to offer their support and help and the idea for the Oct. 28 fundraiser was born. Proceeds from all services haircuts, styles, makeup and more will go to a fund set up for Stefanie and the kids. "All of the stylists are coming in voluntarily to do this for Stefanie and the family," said Sinclair. A silent auction with some pretty sweet prizes will also be part of the event. "Call and book your services now," said Sinclair. "Or come and bid on one of the items in our silent auction or just make a donation." Sinclair said the tragedy immediately underscored to her the importance of family. "I just want Stefanie and the girls and the baby boy on the way to be OK," she said. "Family is number one and you have to take care of your family." Her brother-in-law is dearly missed. "He had such a big heart and he loved his girls so much," said Sinclair. "He was also very dedicated to his brothers at the Simple Men Snake River Motorcycle Club." Adam was known also for his work as a volunteer firefighter with the Whitewater Region Fire Department. "Adam was the type of guy who never judged everybody. He welcomed everyone with open arms," said Sinclair. "He was a great guy. He'd do anything for you and was very involved in the community." She's overwhelmed by the support for the upcoming fundraiser, including help from Renfrew and area businesses.

The Town of Renfrew has won a national marketing award for its publication - Town of Renfrew Community Profile 2018. Victoria Thomas, of the Town of Renfrew's economic development and tourism committee, accepted the award at the Economic Development Association of Canada (EDAC) conference in Fredericton, N.B., on Sept. 11 in front of approximately 300 peer
municipalities. This national award of excellence is the first award that the Town of Renfrew has received by EDAC. The award is for "Single Publication - Four or more pages" used to attract business investment, tourism, or to promote use of services. Mayor Don Eady states, "We are extremely pleased to receive this marketing award from EDAC. Our strong relationship
their progressive programming by requesting this profile to be uniquely theirs. McSweeney and Associates was hired to work with Renfrew Town staff to create a community profile - one with a new approach to the standard. With budget for only one promotional piece, it needed to be used for both a data driven information piece and a visually appealing marketing tool. The profile has had great feedback as Amanda Charania, communications co-ordinator from the Town of Carleton Place, commented, "Stumbled across Renfrew's community profile and called them to tell them how stunning it was and to find out who in the world made something so beautiful." The 2018 Renfrew Community Profile can be found on the town's website at: http://renfrew.ca/public_docs/Renfrew-Community-Profile-2018/

A petition asking that a crossing guard be posted at the unsupervised Barr Street crosswalk serving Queen Elizabeth Public School is circulating about town. Bonnie Mask, the grandmother of a student at the school, had collected several sheets of signatures by Friday, Oct 5. The petition, which asks for a crossing guard because of student safety concerns, has been posted at the No Frills bulletin board for people to sign. Officials from the Town of Renfrew and Renfrew County District School Board have met to discuss how to respond to parents' concerns after it was decided teachers would no longer supervise the crosswalk as it's off school property. Signage has been improved in the congested area, but parents are skeptical that it will have much of an effect on drivers. Among those Mask has come across while circulating her petition is Coun. Tom Sidney, who is looking into options, and a former crossing guard who remembers back 35 years when it was Renfrew police, not the town or school board, that paid them.

COMMUNITY
FAMILY AND CHILDREN'S SERVICES OF RENFREW COUNTY LAUNCHES 2018 PURPLE RIBBON CAMPAIGN TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com In communities across Ontario, October is Child Abuse Prevention Month, which is marked by a purple awareness ribbon. Family and Children's Services of Renfrew County (FCSRC), together with community organizations, schools, businesses and individuals, assist provincial efforts to raise awareness about the rights of children and youth to safety and wellbeing, as well as the responsibility of adults and community services to help children and youth who need support. FCSRC kicked off its Purple Ribbon Campaign on Sept. 29 with a ceremony at St. Joseph's Catholic High School. Attendees included FCSRC staff, Renfrew Mayor Don Eady and local parents and children.
"Thank you for coming today, and thank you for helping us kick off our Purple Ribbon Campaign," FCSRC executive director Arijana Haramincic said. "The Purple Ribbon Campaign is truly a community initiative, led by caring citizens and organizations who want to help families and support healthy growth and development of all of our children and youth," she explained. "We want our community to know when you share a concern for a child or youth, we might be firm on safety, but we are hugely caring." "We are hoping to see a lot of purple throughout the month, Haramincic added. Festivities on Saturday included refreshments (pizza, drinks and cupcakes) and a visit from Jess Duckett, a wildlife educator at Little Ray's Reptile Zoo and Nature Centre in Ottawa.
Tara Gesner/Metroland Renfrew Mayor Don Eady joined Family and Children's Services of Renfrew County staff for the Purple Ribbon Campaign kickoff on Sept. 29, held at St. Joseph's Catholic High School. She brought along a number of her friends. "Good luck on your campaign," Eady said. He called children "the
future." According to FCSRC, its priority is to support children living safely with their immediate family. The orga-
nization is focused on empowering families to provide their own solutions so children can stay safely in their own families. A big part of this is working closely with families to educate parents, strengthen their caregiver skills, support their personal growth and help them ensure their children's physical, emotional and mental needs can be met. According to the Ontario Association of Children's Aids Societies, in 97 per cent of investigations, child protection services are provided while children or youth live with their families. Occasionally children's aid societies remove children from their home while their caregivers receive the support they need. Too, most children, about 85 per cent, return to their families within 36 months. Children's aids societies priori-
tize keeping children within their extended families, communities and culture, and when they cannot return to their immediate family, everything is done to keep them with loving family members. Upcoming events As part of its Purple Ribbon Campaign, FCSRC is hosting a number of events, including a trivia night, bowling and beginner boxing - just to name a few. On Oct. 22 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., FCSRC is holding a POUND class at Movement in Renfrew, 133 Argyle St. Interested individuals can register on Eventbrite. The cost is $15 per person. On Oct. 24, schools, businesses, organizations and individuals are encouraged to support Dress Purple Day by wearing purple. Purple Ribbon T-shirts can be purchased at any of the Purple Ribbon Campaign events for $10 each or online at www.oacas.org/dresspurpleday.

GRAND ROUNDS Blessed to receive care close to home Sandra Riopelle knows firsthand the value and comfort of being able to access quality care close to home. “I feel blessed to have been able to be so close to home to have my chemotherapy...there’s nothing better than that small-town, family feeling,” she shares. After finding a lump in her breast and quickly making an appointment with her gynecologist, Riopelle admits her head was swimming with thoughts of dying in November 2011. Following a biopsy, she was officially diagnosed with breast cancer on December 17 that same year. Her surgery was completed in Ottawa and when the staging and grading came back it was determined that she was ER+ PR+ and Her2 +. In other words, her cancer was aggressive and growing fast and would require four rounds of chemotherapy along with 21 radiation and 17 Herceptin treatments. “My medical oncologist was thrilled when he learned that I lived in Renfrew because he had heard so many great things about our oncology unit and hospital,” recalls Riopelle.
What he had heard was indicative of the care she would receive. “My nurses and the front desk receptionist were always kind, considerate, compassionate, and genuinely cared about how I was doing...even till today when I see the nurse, she always asks how things are with me, and if I have a question or just need an ear she is there.” Riopelle, who is six years cancer free as of August 2018, has been back to visit the new oncology unit on the first floor at RVH and while it is a wonderful, modern space, she has no intention of ever being there for treatments… “but if I needed to, there isn’t a doubt I’m my mind that I would ever go anywhere else but RVH.” Donations to the RVH Foundation and participation in the ‘Put Your Breast Foot Forward’ walk/run supporting the RVH oncology department are her way to say thanks to RVH “for making the most difficult time in my life, a calm, caring and relaxing time.”
Erin Prentice, RVH oncology nurse, and Sandra Riopelle, cancer survivor, both took part in the Put Your “Breast” foot forward walk/run on September 30 to help raise funds for the RVH Oncology Department.

CHILDREN CRUCIAL PART OF MENTAL HEALTH DISCUSSION While strides have been made to raise awareness of mental health, there's still unfamiliarity surrounding the subject, especially when it relates to children. This year, the Canada Safety Council is marking 100 years and has chosen to use National School Safety Week (Oct. 17-23) as a way to ensure children (and the entire population) have access to mental health services. They're dispelling four myths in their efforts to raise awareness, including that mental health illnesses aren't real. Mental health covers your psychological and emotional well-being, so it affects a person just as much as contracting a cold or breaking your leg. All illnesses vary and can be controlled through medication, but in the case of mental health, often they go undiagnosed or mismanaged, which could cause harm to a person or others. According to the Canadian Mental Health Association, undiagnosed illnesses can affect a child's performance at school or make themselves cause danger to themselves. It's the lack of awareness and education on the impact mental health of children can have that's troubling. Another myth is that children will simply grow out of a mental illness, but it can remain with a person for their entire life. A study by the federal government revealed 70 per cent of adults who suffer from some form of mental illness showed signs of it as a child or teen. The key here is early diagnosis and getting children on a healthy path. If treatment is done earlier, there's less chance of future harm. It's also untrue that bad parenting can cause a mental health related illness. It shouldn't be seen as a failure and due to the variety of illnesses, it's sometimes easy for parents to miss signs. The safety council notes that often a child's biochemistry and environment are responsible for the development of mental health illnesses, including stressful situations and exposure to harmful substances while an infant. It's important to seek help if parents feel their child might be suffering. Consulting your family doctor, a mental health association or school counsellor are good first steps. When it comes to treatment, it will not make your child's symptoms worse, says the Canada Safety Council. Many parents don't want their children to be on unnecessary medication, or they see therapy as a waste of time, but each treatment method is tailored to the specific child. Not all will need to take medication, but parents should put some trust in the advice of mental health experts. The topic of mental health in children can be a delicate one, but the most important thing for parents to remember is to start having healthy conversations with your children, provide a safe space for them and when in doubt, seek the help of other resources.

WHO WE ARE LETTERS & COMMENTARY DAIRY FARMERS FACE NIGHTMARE To the editor: Canadian dairy farmers woke up Monday to realize that their worst nightmare had become a crushing reality. Despite multiple assurances to the contrary, the Trudeau government sacrificed them once again at the altar of flawed trade negotiations. Faced with a U.S. administration that prefers to dump its problem on our doorstep rather than fix it itself, the government failed to stand up for Canada's familyowned dairy farms and homegrown dairy. Even worse, this deal will allow the United States to dictate our dairy policies. It is ironic the United States is often held up as an example of the ideal free market, because there is nothing free about the global market for dairy. First, the U.S. administration insisted Canada's ability to export dairy be constrained to a minimum so that we would not compete on
world markets. Second, those who focus on price need to realize the U.S. consumer actually pays twice for their dairy - once through taxpayer-funded subsidies and then again at the checkout counter. By giving in to the demands of the Trump administration, the government is opening the door to giant industrial farms and will allow the U.S. dairy model to take hold here. Canadians do not want to fund milk production through their taxes. Canadians do not want family farms to give way to industrial farms with tens of thousands of cows. The dairy industry in Canada has been repeatedly used as a bargaining chip for our government's trade aspirations. How much more of their livelihood will dairy farmers be asked to give up? The combined access given under the EU trade agreement and with the transPacific countries alone already equated to $250 million annually in lost milk production here, which ultimately benefits dairy industries in other coun-
tries. Our dairy farmers aren't the only ones to pay the price for these deals. Some 220,000 Canadian families depend on dairy for their livelihood; these include people in dairy processing plants, equipment dealers, feed manufacturers, veterinarians, truck drivers and a host of connected industries. The cumulative effect of these trade deals leads to the erosion of a secure and quality domestic food supply for Canadian families. Should this not be a priority for our government? How can the Trudeau government live up to its commitment to maintaining a robust Canadian dairy industry, while conceding significant quantities of dairy production to the United States? Will our government be prepared to concede more market to the U.K. as it will come knocking on our door for access to our dairy market following Brexit? Sadly, we just got our answer.

Renfrew Hydro wants to help you cut your electricity costs:
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.

Support still available for medium income customers through Affordability Fund Trust
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.

Saving Products and Installation
I thought the Ontario Government scrapped programs to help citizens make their homes and apartments more energy efficient.
John Carter/Metroland Lloyd Eady was back at Joan Foran's Tasse Avenue home Sept. 17 with his roofing crew. On the roof are his grandson Josh Eady, nephew Nathan Eady and Dan Kennell. Foran was Eady's first roofing customer 46 years ago.

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.

Products and Installation
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.

GreenON Rebate 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.
Start the process:
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.
More information: call Renfrew Hydro at 613.432.4884

Lloyd Eady and Joan Foran go back a long way. Back in the fall of 1972, Foran was looking for someone to reshingle the roof of her Renfrew home on Tasse Avenue. Eady was looking for work in-between building his own house. Foran worked at the Stemco plant with Eady's brother, Don (now Renfrew's mayor), who recommended Lloyd for the job. It was one of two roofs Eady shingled that fall. The next spring he put a roofer advertisement in the Mercury "and 46 years later here I am (Renfrew's longest serv-
ing roofer)." Eady was back on Tasse Street Sept. 17 with his Lloyd Eady Construction and Sons crew putting a new roof on an addition on the home in which Foran still lives. It was a far cry from his first job when he worked alone on the roof. Foran remembers buying the shingles and paying, she thinks, $300 for Eady to put them on the roof. And in those days, the new shingles didn't replace the old ones, but were laid over them, Eady said. "It was a big job for someone to do all by himself," said Foran. "I'm happy to still have her as a customer 46 years later," said Eady. "She's a great lady."
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)

After an eight-year hiatus, Sandi Heins feels it's again time to put her 25 years of council experience to work on behalf of the Town of Renfrew. "I have a passion for this community. I want to make a difference," Heins said in explaining why she is seeking a Renfrew councillor seat in the Oct. 22 election. She questions some of the current council's spending decisions "because as a homeowner myself, taxes and costs are important to me." She applauds council's progress on improving the town's infrastructure ("we'll have a beautiful main street") and its successful efforts in applying for government grants. However, she worries council didn't do enough to challenge some expenditures that were not "fiscally responsible." She said council needs more members willing to "stand up and explain why they're voting in such a way so the public gets to know why (decisions are made)." Too many items have been "rubber-stamped," leaving lot of questions unanswered, she said. Heins pointed to the $1 million Plaunt Street overrun and the amount spent on refurnishing the kitchen/meeting room at town hall. "Where were the checks and balances? Council needed to provide more oversight," she said. "It disappointed me big time." Among other council decisions that concern her were votes on the indoor pool, sale of the post office and release of fire chief Guy Longtin. Heins charged that the information coming from council regarding the indoor pool/second ice pad was vague to the point of being misleading. Council could have saved time and money by making use of the input received previously at public meetings and by utilizing a survey, instead of repeating the process, she said. She said council should "stop playing with it (issue)" and sit down to determine what the community wants (a pool but not another ice pad is how she interpreted the earlier public input), how it fits in with spending priorities and what partnerships could be used to pay for it. As for the post office building,
Sandi Heins council ignored several considerations raised in a town study, she said. "There are still a lot of questions unanswered," such as is the facade going to be protected, she added. Regarding the fire chief case, "I don't understand how they got in this pickle," she said, adding the issue is "clouding this election." Council could also have been more open in its dealings with the Renfrew Industrial Commission, she said. Heins feels town hall should "work a little closer" with industries and businesses that want to locate to or expand in Renfrew. There should be more support and less red tape, she said, pointing to the health village - which has brought a large number of jobs to town - as an example of a development that could have enjoyed more co-operation from the town. "It can be onerous to get through the process ... when you're being shuffled all over." People need to feel comfortable when dealing with the town, she added. Heins noted that she continued to stay involved after her 12 years as Renfrew mayor came to an end when she was defeated in the 2010 election. She served on the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Board, Golden Age Seniors' Centre, Renfrew recreation committee and Birthplace of the NHA/ NHL Museum. Known for her attendance at community functions during her time on council, Heins said "there are a lot of awesome organizations that we can tap into." But they need to know that council appreciates their contributions, she added. If elected Heins will have "plenty of time" for council business since she retires on Oct. 31 as a case worker for the Ministry of Social Services.
ELECTING YOUR NEW COUNCIL

All current council members are seeking re-election. Reeve Peter Emon has been acclaimed. A mayor and five councillors will be elected. Council candidate Sandi Heins did not respond to our request in time to be included in this feature. Election Day for municipalities in Ontario is Monday, Oct. 22.

In seeking a position for councillor of Horton, I would like to share with you my ‘Why?’ You can be assured that I have no self or special interests other than to share my experience and leadership with the township. My experience in the municipal sector as both chief building official and previously as director of operations have allowed me the opportunity to engage in and learn a great deal about municipal operations and as such I feel my contribution to Horton council would be a positive addition.
I believe in good governance and my platform reflects the same. I have a clear understanding of the role of council, which will be comprised of a mayor and four councillors. These five individuals will need to work together to ensure that every citizen in Horton has a voice and a good quality of life. The wants and needs of people will differ and change, as will the demographics of this township, but what must remain constant is a council that is ethical, transparent and prepared to work hard for everyone.

issues facing Horton. To address these concerns, it is imperative that council governs with efficiency and effectiveness but also that we work collaboratively with both our provincial and federal governments. I have a good understanding and working relationships with these levels of government and feel that this, coupled with the respect that I have gained from these relationships would be a strong asset to Horton council.

In welcoming the dinner-goers and saying grace, Salvation Army Lt. Randy Shears said people in the Renfrew area have a great deal to give thanks for in a "world filled with turmoil." However, upheaval can strike locally, he added, urging
people to say a prayer for the victims of the recent tornado that struck Calabogie and parts of Ottawa and Gatineau. The Thanksgiving dinner of turkey and all the trimmings served by volunteers and members of Salvation Army congregation at the Renfrew Legion attracted just over 130 people. The Renfrew Salvation Army holds three main dinners a year. Next up is the Christmas dinner on Dec. 19. Tickets for the dinners are kept to $10.

RUNTZ EXAMINES THE EFFECTS OF WILD TURKEY ON OUR ENVIRONMENT MICHAEL RUNTZ Column
Michael Runtz/Submitted Wild Turkeys are not native to our region and their presence here likely has serious implications for the survival of local flora and fauna. local birds didn't arrive here by choice. Originally, wild turkeys were never found this far north in Ontario. Unable to tolerate cold winters, turkeys were confined to the Carolinian Forest, the last one being recorded in 1902. But in the mid-1980s the Ministry of Natural Resources in partnership with the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) and the Federation of Ontario Naturalists (FON) "reintroduced" the species into eastern Ontario. Now, those releases were done under false premises for when a species was never historically present in an area, the release is an "introduction" of a foreign species. Perhaps that was partly behind the FON's pulling out of the program. Under a second false premise (to increase biodiversity) the introductions continued. The truth is that wild turkeys were re-

The tradition of having a grand meal on Thanksgiving arose in October 1621 when 53 pilgrims shared a three-day feast with 90 Indigenous people. While the ethical implications of this special day have given rise to controversy (some claim the holiday whitewashes the injustices inflicted upon Indigenous people by the early colonists), the tradition continues today. Although turkeys were likely not part of that historic banquet, since the mid-1800s they have been a favourite component. Their enormous size is one reason turkeys became the centrepiece of Thanksgiving meals. The reverence in which Benjamin Franklin held those birds also helped. However, it is a myth that old Ben nominated the turkey to be the U.S.A.'s national bird. The real story is that in a letter to his daughter, Benjamin compared the Bald Eagle's attributes to those of a turkey, giving the latter a much more positive review. When turkeys became the favoured Thanksgiving meal, thousands were herded along roads to market. "Turkey walks" took days and even weeks to complete, with the occasional stampede reportedly being more tumultuous than those of the bovine type. Kathleen Karr described these little known historic events in her book: The Great Turkey Walk. Which brings us to wild turkeys that now so commonly decorate our landscape. Just like those turkeys headed to market in antebellum America, our
leased throughout Ontario solely to provide another species for hunters to harvest. The released birds were different genetically and hardier than the ones originally found in Ontario and survived winters better, and soon numbers grew exponentially. Eventually, turkey hunts were established and they continue today. No one knows what ecological damage wild turkeys are doing to our region. Being large birds, they eat a lot. And much of what they eat is acquired by tearing apart the leaf litter that covers a forest floor. Turkeys are avian vacuum cleaners, devouring flower buds, acorns, beechnuts and other seeds, invertebrates, salamanders, reptiles, and even baby birds. The destruction of the moisture-retaining leaf litter of the forest is one concern; the birds' effect on native species is an even greater one. But we shouldn't blame wild turkeys for their negative effects on local habitats and flora and fauna. Any contempt should be directed at the human turkeys who brought the birds here originally.

NORM DAGG Sunshine Coach has recently replaced two older accessible transportation vehicles with two brand new models. The 14-year-old bus has now been replaced with a 2018 Chevrolet GMC Elkhart lift- equipped bus, having the capacity to carry four wheelchairs and 10 ambulatory clients. In addition, a new small coach has been deployed that is specially equipped to handle the transportation needs of people living with any and all forms of disability. The acquisition of these much needed new vehicles to the Sunshine Coach fleet was the result of a partnership involving the federal government's Public Transit Infrastructure Fund (PTIF), the Friends of the Disabled Ride the Bus Campaign (which raised funds to match the PTIF grant on a dollar-fordollar basis) and the Town
John Carter/Metroland Vehicles in the Sunshine Coach fleet are at the ready to serve the transportation needs of the area, but need public support of fundraisers such as the Reach for the Rainbow radiothon Oct. 21. of Renfrew who provided all of the administrative and legislative support required to put these vehicles on the road. Sunshine Coach provides fare-based transpor-
tation for people who are living with disabilities that render the use of conventional modes of public transportation inappropriate to their needs. Upgrading two vehicles
in the fleet was a great step forward and much appreciated by the fellow citizens who depend on Sunshine Coach every day to overcome transportation barriers in their lives.
However, the need to work diligently to ensure that the Town of Renfrew and the surrounding area continue to enjoy the availability of this service continues.

SUNSHINE COACH KEEPS THE WHEELS TURNING
Every year, Friends of the Disabled reaches out to the community to assist in ensuring that Sunshine Coach remains viable and that fares remain affordable. The main fundraising event is the Reach For the Rainbow Radiothon, carried live on Valley Heritage Radio 98.7.

There will be continuous live entertainment on the Cavanagh Stage during the entire event. Everyone is invited to drop in for the open house at the Valley Heritage Radio studios at 3009 Burnstown Rd. Please save the date and be ready to call in your support on the day-of pledge line 613-432-7299. Public support is critical to the continued success of the Sunshine Coach Service. Norm Dagg is the executive director of the Sunshine Coach service.
BEHIND THE GLASS: ICE IS ALMOST READY ANDY SKLEPOWICZ Registration continues as the stragglers and procrastinators are finally getting their behinds in gear and submitting their registrations and yes I know I'm the worst one this year. The nice weather and the bountiful garden are pro-
viding too many distractions. Fellow curlers are always interested (at least that is what I tell myself ) in my summer exercise program that I use to maintain my incredible fitness level for curling OK, someone tell Rory to stop laughing. As in past recent summers, life got
in the way as I spent my time driving Miss Daisy from one appointment to another. That, combined with the summer heat, limited my efforts to running, or more usually, walking slowly to the fridge for a cool beverage. So once again I will submit my body to its annual crash course (figu-
ratively and literally) on ice training at the start of the season Reports are starting to come in from draw masters that leagues are filling up quickly and that there are quite a few new members. Laurie reports that the Tuesday afternoon ladies are going to ice eight teams this year
for the first time in memory and they even have enough spares to cover the inevitable absences. Ben Oakes is filling the new Wednesday night doubles league but is still hoping for a few more teams. Each team is made up of only two curlers, any combination of males and females, and
the games are really fast and exciting. if you are interested, give Ben a call at 613-312-9905. If you are at all interested in curling this year or taking the learn to curl program you will have to act fast and contact the club so that you don't miss out on all the fun.

AUNT LIZZIE'S HAND-ME-DOWNS WERE ALL PUT TO GOOD USE IN THE DEPRESSION YEARS, GIFTS WERE GREATLY APPRECIATED, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column
Even though Aunt Lizzie, Father's sister from Regina, regularly sent a big wood box full of clothes her two university educated sons could no longer wear, we always seemed to get summer clothes in the winter, and winter clothes when sweat was pouring off our noses. However, Mother was grateful for whatever Aunt Lizzie packed in the box, and very little ever went
astray. Once she had gone through the box, and found out what fitted my three brothers, Mother sorted the remainder into different piles. Of course, it was all boys or men's clothes, so the chance of my sister Audrey or me getting anything we could just put on and wear was never an option. One pile was put away for the next season, one pile was what could be
worn without being ripped apart ... and this usually caused a fist fight between my three brothers who always wanted the best of the lot. Mother settled that in a hurry by throwing everything back into the box, and telling the boys SHE would decide who got what! I knew from what came out of the box that Uncle Jack must have had a very important job, because al-

ways there were at least two men's suits. Of course, they would be well worn, and shiny, but by the time Mother was finished with them, there was no resemblance to what had come from Regina. Mother said the suits were pure serge, whatever that meant. But according to her, serge meant wealth! And we learned that wealth in the '30s meant having a good paying job with no chance of being laid off. So Uncle Jack worked for the CPR which meant he and Aunt Lizzie could go anywhere in Canada free of charge. I just couldn't imagine anyone being that rich. Imagine, a free pass to anywhere in Canada! No wonder the handme-down box was full of the finest of boy's clothes, and the best serge suits you could buy. And Aunt Lizzie's hand-me-downs weren't to be sneezed at either. She was very partial to red, and we could always count on a silk dress, or maybe a blouse in the brightest of reds being in the box. Because I had flaming red hair, these pieces of clothing always ended up being made over into something for my sister Audrey, which suited me just fine, as red certainly wasn't my favourite colour at the time. For some reason it was considered redheads could not wear red. Even my sister Audrey, whom I considered to be just about the smartest girl in Renfrew County had no explanation either. So all the elegant pieces of clothing Aunt Lizzie sent our way, always ended up being made over for Audrey. Uncle Jack's suits were made into skirts or jumpers for me and my sister. They would be taken apart, seam by seam, and then those seams would be flattened out with a hot-iron and a dampened tea towel. Why Mother didn't simply cut them off was beyond me. But of course, that would be wasting a couple of inches of perfectly good serge material and that would never do. Never were Uncle Jack's
suits made over for my brothers. They were used to breaks and overalls, and Father was bone thin and Uncle Jack as round as a balloon, so Audrey and I always ended up with serge skirts and jumpers, which gave me special joy since I knew they had once been on the back of someone who held down a very important job many miles away. My two cousins, I figured, must have been pretty spoiled by Aunt Lizzie and Uncle Jack, because one or two shirts that looked like they had just come out of a store were usually in the hand-medown box too. And this is where the fight began between two of my three brothers. We had never seen our cousins from Regina, but they must have been about the same size as my brothers, because mostly, the fancy shirts fit Everett and Emerson like they had been made for them ... poor Earl, much smaller, wasn't lucky enough to get a shirt from Regina! When the box was emptied, it was chopped up for kindling for the Findlay Oval. I often wondered if Aunt Lizzie ever wondered how much every last bit of the hand-me-down box was put to good use. Anything that couldn't be made over was put into the rag bag, some of it was saved for making braided rugs, and everything else ended up on our backs. When the hand-medown box arrived from Regina, every one of us got something out of it, and helped ease the pain of the Depression that was all around us.

WHITEWATER LIBRARY HOSTS 'ENCOUNTERS WITH GREAT WRITERS' Every year, the Whitewater Region Public Library and its volunteer advisory board must undertake a certain amount of fundraising to supplement the annual grant from township council, in order to operate its three branches in Cobden, Beachburg and Forester's Falls. This year, the library is trying something a little different as part of that fundraising effort: A series of three performances called Encounters with Great Writers, held a few weeks apart this fall, each in a different Whitewater Region church. The first of the three writers created his most famous work almost two thousand years ago. The other two were coincidentally born in the same year (1874), and wrote their first bestsellers in Canada in the first decade of the 20th century, although on opposite ends of the coun-
try. Their words will be brought to life by three celebrated Ontario actors. The first evening, Thursday, Sept. 20 at Whitewater Wesleyan Community Church on Cedar Haven Road in Cobden, featured a dramatic reading of The Gospel of Mark with award-winning actor Kenneth Welsh. The second evening, Wednesday, Oct. 17 at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Cobden, will be Maud of Leaskdale, a onewoman play drawn from the powerful journals of Prince Edward Island novelist Lucy Maud Montgomery. Soon after publishing Anne of Green Gables in 1908, Montgomery moved to Ontario with her new husband, a Presbyterian minister, and became a mother, pillar of the community, and wildly successful writer. She underwent the trials of the Great War, the
death of her closest friend in the Spanish flu epidemic, and the slow descent of her husband into madness. All of this is crammed into a riveting night of theatre starring Jennifer Carroll, the only actress to ever perform this play. The final evening, Wednesday Nov. 7 at St. Andrew's United Church in Beachburg, is titled Gold Rush to the Great War, and features more than a score of poems by the Bard of the Yukon, Robert W. Service. The first half will feature Service's Klondike poems, such as The Cremation of Sam McGee and The Shooting of Dan McGrew. But after leaving the Yukon, Service served as an ambulance driver in the First World War, and it is his powerful war poetry that will be featured in the second part of the evening, timed to coincide with the centennial of the end of that war. The po-
CONTRIBUTED ems will be interpreted by Conrad Boyce, who first was drawn to Service while working in the Yukon 40 years ago. Boyce is now based in Cobden, and is co-ordinating the series on behalf of the library board. All three churches are donating the use of their sanctuaries as their own contribution to the public library. Tickets for each evening are only $20, and are available at The Candle Wick in Cobden. You may also book your tickets with Boyce directly by calling 613-639-9250 or emailing him at conradboyce@powergate.ca. And you can save $10 by booking all three "encounters"; the package will only cost you $50 instead of $60. As a public library, the Whitewater Region Public Library is dedicated to bringing the best of the written (and spoken) word to the people it serves. St. Mark, Lucy Maud Montgomery and Robert Service have written words that will live forever. This is your chance to experience the power of those words, and support your library while doing it.

Seeking opportunities in the early days of television, the young couple moved back to Renfrew to launch their first business and raise their family. Marion, “Mame” and Doug would go on to have several creative business ventures, including opening a store in Algonquin Park. Many memorable times were spent with family on vacations and at “The Farm”, making maple syrup, tending the garden and cultivating flowers.

Marion was involved in several community activities, including the Order of the Eastern Star, Meals on Wheels and the Renfrew Horticultural Society. She was a Guild member and parishioner at St. Paul’s Anglican Church. Sincere thanks to the caring staff at Groves Park Lodge, where Marion lived for the past year.

It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone; For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, Your love is still our guide; And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side.

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!

The bids were exceptional at the Renfrew Fair's annual livestock auction Sept. 8. "It was a great sale ... the prices were high," said fair manager Judy Dobec. Especially pleasing was the number of new buyers, she said. MacKenzie Motors bought Tyson Black's 1,485pound champion steer, while Bonnechere Excavating Inc. (BEI) had the high bid on Nathan Vandekemp's reserve champion. The third, fourth and fifth steers shown by Rachel, Patrick and Isabella Enright also attracted strong bids. Last year, Isabella Enright had the champion steer, and Black was runner-up. MacKenzie Motors also bought the champion 255pound hog, shown by Damian Leckie, who is a repeat winner. Dawson Crozier Logging was top bidder for Black's reserve champion hog, with Reiche Meats buying Jordan Schoenfeldt's third-place hog. BEI and Jack and Grady Dwyer bought the next two placing hogs, shown by Hayley and Katie Stewart. Peter Neill had the highest bid for Autumn McIntyre's champion 130-pound lamb, with Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP John Yakabuski buying Schoenfeldt's reserve champion. The auctioneers were Preston Cull and Gerald Walsh and announcer Art Jamieson. Livestock show judges were generally happy with the quality of animals shown at this year's fair. "Excellent weather, excellent cattle, excellent people," said cattle show announcer Bill Gagan.

"What we're trying to do is get people out to see what the museum is all about, what we have in artifacts," explained board member
Margaret Dubeau, adding the museum appreciates the support of RPG in holding the event. She noted that the museum has new displays to show off and is looking for ideas as it gears up for its 50th anniversary next year. "We're really focusing on our Renfrew heritage," she said, noting Johnny Mo-

MCDOUGALL MILL MUSEUM INVITES PUBLIC TO WINE AND CHEESE
ran's milk wagon, donated by Bill McGahern, will be on display at the open house. Moran had a large farm in the area where the Bonnechere Manor now sits. He used the wagon to deliver milk from the Pinehurst Dairy. "It's really a wonderful artifact for sure," said Dubeau. The board, which has been bolstered by a few new members, has tossed some anniversary ideas around. But the extent of the celebration will depend on the budget available, Dubeau said.
McDougall Mill Museum/Submitted John T. Moran used to deliver milk downtown and around Renfrew with this milk wagon/sleigh, which is on display at the McDougall Mill Museum.
