Group to oversee GM fundraising

JOHN [email protected]

The Township of Greater Madawaska has established a foundation to oversee commu-nity fundraising campaigns if the need arises.

Reeve Peter Emon, who came up with the idea, explained it will be used to help fund rec-reation, cultural and special-ized infrastructure. “It would be broad enough that if some-thing came up that the com-munity really needs, it would be the vehicle to generate some funds for a project,” he said. It could also accept bequeaths and donations in lieu of flowers at a funeral, for example, he said.

Emon suggested it would come in handy if, for instance, the township’s new seniors housing committee recom-mends a seniors complex for the township. The foundation would be in charge of raising funds to show the community supports the project, he explained.

“Like they did with Fair-fields in Eganville,” said Coun. Don Mercer.

“Are there any other town-ships with similar bodies?” asked Coun. John Pratt. “We’re the first,” said Emon. “At least, there’s nothing like it in our area that I’m aware of.”

While no local municipali-ties have a foundation, “this is almost exactly the same as the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Foundation,” he added.

Emon said he envisions a 12-member board and has already

talked to three people interested in being foundation directors. “It will be at arm’s length from the municipality,” he explained, noting a bylaw would govern its operation.

Emon said he was prompted to propose a foundation because of the many two-thirds econom-ic stimulus and other grants made available to municipali-ties recently. It can be a problem for municipalities to raise their one-third from taxpayers when budgets are already strained, he said.

A community fundraising campaign, as has been suggest-ed for the cover-the-Calabogie-rink project, would help ease that burden, he said.

Emon noted that in the next few years when grants are expected to dry up as govern-ments struggle to balance the books and pay off deficits, com-munity fundraising campaigns will take on a new importance.

The foundation can not only lead campaigns, but educate the public about the value of recre-ational and cultural projects, he added.

Emon said other projects that could be promoted by a foundation are a new library, Griffith rink, improved ball dia-mond and soccer pitch.

“People will not donate to purchase a tandem snow plow or a recycling depot, but they will donate to build a rink or a playground,” if asked by a cred-ible, community-based group, he said.

Township to request return of signs with no questions asked

STEVE [email protected]

Half-way through the fiscal year, Admaston-Bromley Township staff isn’t happy about spending more than three-quarters of its annual budget of $5,000 for road sign replacement and repairs.

Wear and tear is one reason, but the major reason is the continuing issue of stolen and damaged signs.

Consequently, the township soon plans to do some newspaper advertising to ask local residents to return any signs they may have with no questions asked.

If any signs are returned, that saves the township some money, said Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe at the July 16 Admas-ton-Bromley council meeting.

“It’s a different way of bringing attention to a serious problem,” she explained.

“It also brings attention to people driv-ing around, and reminds some people that people may be watching.”

It’s estimated about half of the more than $3,500 has been spent on regular maintenance; the other half on replacing stolen signs. This amounts to probably about 15 signs.

In a completely different part of the budget, the township is doing just fine with dog-tag revenue. The township had budgeted $3,500 for that revenue in 2009, but had received $3,970 by mid July.

Small hint railway activity may return by OctoberSTEVE NEWMAN

[email protected] Valley Railway has kept infor-

mation close to its vest following the virtu-al shut-down of railway activity through the Ottawa Valley in recent months.

However, Admaston-Bromley staff conversation with Ottawa Valley Railway general manager Scott Campbell has the local township’s staff and council mem-bers hoping rail traffic will soon return to the area.

Hints that traffic may be back by Octo-ber seemed to have been made after clerk Bev Briscoe spoke to Scott Campbell to express concern about railway signals flashing regularly on Highway 60, near the Renfrew Golf Club, even though train traffic has come to a virtual halt.

In a memo to council, clerk Briscoe

said, “With few trains, if any, operating in Renfrew County, I also asked why our monthly rate has not been reduced − for general maintenance and inspection of the flashing lights and signals − to reflect this change.”

After receiving no response to a let-ter at the company’s head office in Nova Scotia, and learning it may have been referred to the company’s office in Flor-ida, Briscoe says she was referred to GM Campbell who read the letter of concern after receiving a fax of the same.

“He explained that nothing has changed,” said Briscoe’s memo.

“They still have to provide mainte-nance and check the flashing lights. He explained that there are selected trains still travelling between Mattawa and Smiths Falls. It is only temporary and

hopefully things will change by fall.”That sense, says Briscoe, was suggest-

ed in Campbell’s voice, but the township has yet to receive any such comments in writing.

The township has requested, but yet to receive, a written response to its ques-

tions regarding the trains.Admaston-Bromley’s annual bill from

Ottawa Valley Railway, is made in quar-terly payments.

The total bill of $3,669.48 is for mainte-nance and inspection of the local flashing lights and signals.

‘It’s a different way of bringing attention

to a serious problem.’- Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe

Another unique event in Renfrew

his year the McDougall Mill Museum celebrates 40 years of preserving and presenting Renfrew’s rich heritage. You can join that celebration this Sunday afternoon as the museum hosts a special 40th anniversary event featuring

special displays, refreshments and the unveiling of a commemo-rative plaque.

Renfrew was born on the shores of the Bonnechere River, and its museum is appropriately housed in a building that was key to the town’s early development.

John Lorn McDougall built a large grist mill along the shores fi rst and other industries followed: the John McRae Grist Mill, the William Logan Carding Mill, and the Samuel Francis Axe Factory. On higher ground, back from the river, stood the Munro Plow and Carriage Factory and Wright’s Hotel. On the south bank of the river was the saw mill of William Ross.

In September 1857, to celebrate the opening of the McDougall and McRae mills, a public dinner was held with invitations sent to prominent citizens as far away as Perth. A province-wide public-ity campaign was also launched to promote the development of Renfrew and to advertise the sale of 100 valuable building lots.

The next year, 1858, Renfrew separated from the Township of Horton and incorporated as a village.

The museum is the only remaining building of the early struc-tures located on that side of the river bank. This summer, take time to stroll the park, visit the museum, and salute the pioneers who founded this strong, vibrant community. Lucy Hass

To the editor:Once again, something unique in Renfrew! What a fun time at BobSledz on Friday and Saturday at

their first annual Cook-Off for Cancer. As you neared Renfrew Avenue West, aromas of cook-

ing wafted through the air and certainly tempted the taste buds.

The town allowed the closing of the street for one block, bringing back memories of Lumber Baron Festival. The barbeques and cookers of all sorts set up on the street were manned by the most unusual chefs.

What about those Ashdad Avengers and the Holy Smok-ers, not to say that the Vincent Limo Ladies weren’t very attractive — well, maybe Mrs. Doubtfire now has some competition.

Why, Ricky Dillabough, who was being married on Sat-urday night, even found time to cook up a storm on both days before he dashed off to become the groom. Now that is dedication.

The cook-off contest was organized by the owners of

BobSledz. As a person who has been involved in helping to present events such as this, I commend them on their efforts, ingenuity, and creativity.

Unfortunately, the weather didn’t co-operate but that is always a difficulty with outside activities.

The competition was hot (over the cookers) and the dishes presented were awesome.

We are fortunate in this town to have people who will go “over and above “ to try to bring fun and entertainment to us for minimal cost. Those who did attend appreciated the enormous efforts of the men and their staff and enjoyed all the “goings-on.”

Thanks to everyone who helped at the event for trying something new and good luck next year, as I am sure you will be expanding the activities.

I look forward to the second annual cook-off for can-cer, and, by the way, I am putting in first dibs on judging. Yum!

ATTENTION ALL RESIDENTSWhere are the intersection

signs disappearing to?The township’s intersection signs are crucial to our local emergency services. Our signs help the fi re, police and ambulance services fi nd the site of an emergency as quickly as possible. The difference of a few minutes in response time could save a life. Please help us keep our community safe.

Effective July 20, 2009, residents of the Township of Admaston/Bromley are being asked to please drop off any intersection signs you fi nd to a MUNICIPAL OFFICE, 477 Stone Road or 1239 Cobden Road.

There will be a strict “no questions asked” policy enforced and residents are encouraged to drop off the signs in front of the township garage.

This small effort can have a positive impact by reducing the cost of purchasing new signs and helping to keep our emergency response times down.

Honouring 40 years at McDougall Mill Museum

LESLEY JAMIESONMcDougall Mill Museum

Big things are happening at the McDougall Mill Museum.

This year marks the muse-um’s 40th year of operation, so the staff is going to be organiz-ing a display chronicling those years.

Those years will include the opening in 1969 to the present, as well as a dedication ceremony honouring Marie Henderson, one of the founding members of the Renfrew Historical and Museum Society Incorporated.

The museum’s second floor, which features an extensive col-lection of wedding dresses rang-ing from 1870 to 1970, Renfrew’s military history, and a display on Charlotte Whitton (Renfrew resident and first female mayor of Ottawa) will be formally dedi-cated to Marie Henderson July 26.

There will be refreshments and the unveiling of a commem-orative plaque.

This is an exciting summer

for the museum for a host of oth-er reasons, too. Having received a large donation of period cloth-ing originally collected by the late Jessie Stewart, the museum is proud to present a feature dis-play on the Stewart family.

The display chronicles the family’s involvement in Ren-frew’s history as a pioneer fam-ily of merchants and profession-als.

The museum has been under-going a series of changes in oth-er areas as new items are donat-ed and integrated with existing displays. Of particular interest is the reorganized display on the children of early Renfrew.

The museum will be having weekly seniors and kids days until summer’s end, with free admission for children under 16 Tuesdays and free admission for those over 60 on Thursdays.

Lesley Jamieson is one of the student-employees at McDougall Mill Museum this summer.

This summer, plan to visit the McDougall Mill Museum.

Damselflies and dragonflies are voracious predators that feed on any insect they can catch with their basket forming legs, from small flies and beetles and even members of their own species. To catch a flying insect the damsel fly approaches its victim from behind. Using its legs in the form of a basket, the fly swoops down and cap-tures its prey in the basket. Then the chewing mouth parts swing into action and the damselfly munches on its catch. Black flies and mosquitoes are favourites.

Dragonflies and damselflies have large compound eyes, chewing mouthparts, two pairs of wings, slender bodies and can be vari-ously marked with all the colours of the rainbow. Unlike dragonflies damselflies hold their wings together over their backs when they are perched. Damselflies have widely-separated eyes and are often smaller, more slender and weaker fliers than dragonflies. Both may be found near water where they breed and lay their eggs.

The River Jewelwing belongs to a family of damselflies that are large and colourful and often have interesting courtship displays. The jewelwings’ slow flight, large size and beautiful colours make it easily noticed by anyone walking near streams and ponds, the habitat of the insect.

Though many jewelwings are difficult to identify, the jewelwings are quite distinctive and there should be no problem identifying them if, of course, they sit still.

The River Jewelwing is larger than other jewelwings and has a metallic green colour on the body and dark tips to their tan wings as if they were dipped in ink. In males their dark wing tips contrast sharply with their clear bases. The females often have a brown wash over their wings that reduce the amount of contrast between the wing tips and the bases. The males lack the white stigmata, or dot, on the outer leading edge of the wing. These dots are quite easy to see when the insect is in flight.

Courting rituals of jewelwings are elaborate. The males display before the females using a very slow, alternating wingbeats with

lots of twisting and turning to show off his striking colours and pat-terns. After mating, the female inserts her eggs into the submerged stems of water plants. She must often crawl below the surface to accomplish this.

Another common damselfly is the Ebony Jewelwing which can be found during the first half of the summer near lakes and streams throughout Renfrew County.

This species is identified by its metallic bronze body, all dark wings that look black while perched and brown while in flight. The wings of the female are not as dark as the male, but they do have the white stigmata on the leading edge of each wing which is easy to spot while they are in flight.

Catching jewelwings to get a better look at them can be difficult. They have excellent eyesight. Their large compound eyes which take up to 80 percent of the brain to process visual information have a 360 degree range. It does not matter which direction you approach from: they will see you and escape.

If laid out in a straight line, the logging roads in Algonquin Park would extend to Florida and back.

So says a new release from the Canadian Parks and Wil-derness Society (CPAWS) Wild-life League.

“While nearly 80 per cent of the public opposes logging in provincial parks, the practice continues in Algonquin,” Evan Ferrari of the wildlife league said in the July 17 release.

In its second annual review of the state of Canada’s parks, CPAWS places Algonquin Park under an ‘ugly’ designa-tion, noting there has been no change since last year in re-stricting logging in Ontario’s Algonquin, where only 22 per-cent of the park is protected.

In Ontario, concern is also expressed for QEII Wildlands Provincial Park.

CPAWS says the park, de-scribed as one of the most di-verse and least-disturbed natu-ral areas in central Ontario, is threatened by a proposed quar-ry on its outskirts and ATV use inside the park.

“The quarry proposal for this area 35 kilometres north-west of Orillia would poten-tially draw down water tables within a wetland area that is home to several endangered species,” said the CPAWS re-lease. “Combined with truck traffi c and silica dust created by the quarrying process, this form of industrial develop-ment would create signifi cant stresses on the ecological integ-rity of the park.”

Bright spots were also noted in the nation-wide report, in-cluding fi nal protection of more than 35,000 square kilometres of national park and historic site lands in the Northwest Territories, an end to logging in all but one of Manitoba’s provincial parks, and the cre-ation of new provincial parks and nature reserves in British Columbia, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

NewsNewsNewsNewsInterac available at McNab-Braeside


McNab-Braeside has entered the Interac age.

CAO-clerk Noreen Mellema reported to council June 2 that

an Interac machine is now oper-ational at the township office’s front counter.

“It’s good news,” she said, noting it makes it easier for residents to pay their taxes and

other municipal fees.Interac was tried once before,

but no one seemed interested, she said. However, times have changed and it’s proving to be a useful addition, she added.JOHN CARTER

[email protected] McNab Scottish Festival

is a go, despite the reluctance of the township to declare it a municipal event.

“It’s full speed ahead,” said festival committee spokes-man Mackie McLaren, who explained the group is in the process of arranging its own insurance for the festival from the township’s insurer. Prelim-inary investigation has deter-mined it would cost about $300, so it’s not an event-breaker, he said.

The festival is planned for Aug. 29 on the Waba Cottage Museum grounds in White Lake.

McLaren said he has received encouragement from several Horton ratepayers to go ahead even if McNab-Braeside council hasn’t embraced the event.

Although councillors expressed individual support for the festival, council decided July 14 not to put the festival under the municipal umbrella.

The unanimous decision was made after the Waba Muse-um and Gardens Heritage Com-mittee held a special meeting and decided it isn’t prepared to take more responsibly for the event, other than offering the use of the White Lake site.

McLaren said the commit-tee always insisted the festival would not cost the township

or its taxpayers anything, or cause any hardship to township staff or the heritage commit-tee. There was never any pres-sure on the township to take it under its wing, he added.

McLaren said the commit-tee estimates the festival will need about 300 people to attend to break even.

The committee has already indicated it would foot the bill if there is any deficit.

The event is a celebration of Scottish heritage and the pipe bands and dancers arranged for the day have agreed to per-form for free.

McLaren noted the festival will have benefits for other groups in the municipality.

The Waba heritage commit-tee can expect to gain dona-tions from those attending the event and the McNab-Braesi-de firefighters are holding a fundraising barbecue there, he explained.

McLaren said he anticipat-ed the festival will become an annual event.

“Hopefully this will be the first of many,” he said.

“Perhaps over time we earn the respect of council and come under the municipal banner.”

Municipalities commonly declare festivals municipally- sanctioned events to ease their efforts to get insurance.

The Valley Bluegrass Festi-val in Horton is a prime exam-ple.

Scottish festival organizers determined

to proceed

Greater Madawaska fears reduction in service


Greater Madawaska council has added its voice to those con-cerned about the potential ero-sion of rural postal service.

Council passed a motion July 15 supporting a plea by the Ca-nadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) that the moratorium on closing rural post offi ces remain in place at least until proper con-sultation with all stakeholders has taken place.

CUPW has expressed concern that Canada Post’s proposed re-view of rural postal service will result in reduced service and loss of jobs. CUPW also maintains

that Canada Post’s consultation process is “highly inadequate.”

“This is certainly bother-ing me,” said Coun. Karin Lehnhardt.

Reeve Peter Emon agreed that if rural residents don’t pay at-tention and speak up, “the gov-ernment could pull something.”

However, council should make it clear its support shouldn’t be used by CUPW for political pur-poses, he said.

On the same evening, Admas-ton-Bromley council agreed to write a letter expressing its con-cerns about possible changes to postal service. See the July 21 Mercury for that story.

NewsNewsNewsNewsPikwàkanagàn Earthwalkers in fourth year

By DALE BENOIT-ZOHRThe Pikwàkanagàn Earthwalkers

stewardship program looks forward to its fourth year of offering natural resource stewardship projects to four youths ages 16 to 19.

The program has proven to be one of the most popular summer employment opportunities the students apply for, as application has increased steadily since its inception.

The program’s success can be con-tributed to the many partners willing to lend their expertise to the program, as well as internal and external funding sources.

It is the overall intent of the program to spark an interest in our youth in hopes they will pursue an education in the natural resources field.

As First Nation people, assisting Mother Nature comes naturally, as we consider ourselves to be the stewards of the land, lending a helping hand and ensuring there is something there for our generations to follow.

The students will get hands-on expe-rience installing a beaver baffle, allow-ing the beaver to stay in his habitat area while preventing flooding, assisting in our Community Wetlands project, data collecting and erecting nesting struc-tures, tending white pine, participating in an archeological dig, brushing trails, identifying aquatic invasive species and prevention methods of spreading these to other lakes and rivers, GPS walleye spawning beds, identifying nesting areas of the Double Crested Cormorant, basic map and compass reading, stream assessments and assisting in our annual pow wow.

Students have achieved their first-aid, workplace safety, workplace discrimi-nation and harassment, WHMIS, bear safety, and their Level 2 ORCKA train-ing (basic flat water canoeing and safety techniques) in partnership with certi-fied instructors of Paddle-Co-op, and the Pembroke district’s Ministry of Natu-ral Resources. The Earthwalkers team will also be partnering with the Ontario Stewardship team from Pembroke and the Ontario Rangers from Round Lake on some projects over the summer.

The students will also have an oppor-tunity to tour Sir Sanford Fleming College and participate in two days of projects there, such as visiting a fish hatchery, drilling and blasting site, and geocaching.

Participating in the program this year are Hayley Kohoko, Katelyn Commanda, Allan Commanda and Carter Sarazin, with Dale Benoit-Zohr as team lead.

The team can be reached at 613-625-2800, ext. 247.

INUKSHUK MARKS THE DOT

PETER [email protected]

The Royal Canadian Legion Renfrew Branch 148 is working to add a museum into its quarters at 30 Raglan St. S.

Sergeant-At-Arms Randy Dowell attended Renfrew town council’s July 13 meeting with the proposal, includ-ing a model of how the museum will look upon its renova-tion.

“We have a lot at the Legion which is not shown to the public,” Dowell said. “We’d like to get it out there for people to see.”

“We’ll have it open by Remembrance Day 2009,” he added.

“People can make contributions (of memorabilia),” Dowell noted, adding it will be mainly local material.

“It’ll be open, hopefully three days a week (and) staffed by volunteers.”

Legion Branch 148 working on museum

The inukshuk, the symbol for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, continues its presence in Admaston-Bromley Township in the countdown to the passing of the Olympic Torch Run through the village of Douglas Dec. 13, 2009. This inukshuk, which serves as a directional indicator of a celebration, isn’t the only one in the municipality. There’s another in front of the township municipal offi ce. Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe is “hugely excited” about the event whose local ceremonial activities are being organized by the Douglas Olympic Torch committee that has been dubbed DOT. This inukshuk, which stands more than 10 feet tall, was put in place by Cavanagh Construction, in conjunction with Shaw Lumber and the township roads crew. Mercury Weekender photo by STEVE NEWMAN

FOR THE SAKE OF KIDS IN SPORT

Meet members and backers of Buzzell Motorsport Promotions and their ’80 eh’ racing car that’s competing in the Lucas Oil and Mr. Dirt series this summer. They were on hand at Charlie’s Restaurant and Pub Saturday to show their car to the public and raise money for Kidsport, to enable underserviced children an opportunity to play organized sport in Renfrew. A total of $500 was raised for Kidsport, while some participants in a $2 per-ticket-donation event came away with children’s gifts that included a doll, sports equipment and racing car sets. From left are Buzzell Motorsports president Doug Buzzell, Gord Katsoulis of Charlie’s Restaurant and Pub who contributed proceeds from food sales to the cause, promoter Paul Inglis, crew chief Doug Buzzell Jr., driver Ryan Buzzell, pit crew member Brandon Covert, and car sponsor Vern Barr of Valley NAPA Auto Parts. “It was a very fun, exciting and successful day,” said Inglis.

Tied with Protyre at the top, but playoff bye to BobSledzSTEVE NEWMAN

[email protected] and Protyre finished tied at the top of the

regular-season standings for Ma-Te-Way Men’s Slo-Pitch League, but the tie-breaking format has BobSledz with a bye in the first round of the playoffs.

The final games of the regular season ended with two victories for Protyre and single triumphs for Otta-wa Valley Glass and Zig Zags on Monday, July 20.

Beimers ended its regular-season with another loss July 20, but went eight innings in losing 10-9 to Pro-tyre.

Dan Lavallee’s RBI-single broke the tie in the bottom of the eighth to score pinch-runner Les McLeod.

Other key contributors to Protyre’s offence were win-

ning pitcher Neil Lockwood and Jason Marshall with three hits apiece.

In a losing cause, Tim O’Connor had four hits and Denver Mullen three hits and three runs scored.

THUMPS AIKENHEAD’SIn its second game of the night, Protyre thumped

struggling Aikenhead’s 24-6 to finish the season with a record of 14-4. Aikenhead’s has but one win in 16 starts.

Andrew Dick had a banner night with six hits and six hits scored, while Jason Marshall was four-and-four. Winning pitcher Neil Lockwood homered for Portiere, while Dan St. Michael of Aikenhead’s also homered, with a three-run shot, in the final inning.

OTTAWA VALLEY GLASS WINIn other July 20 action, Ottawa Valley Glass bettered

Subway 10-6 as Frank Meilleur picked up his first pitch-ing decision of the campaign.

Homers from Sean Smith, Kevin Murphy and Jon Lowe helped Ottawa Valley Glass finish the season at 9-9, meaning they’ll face Beimers (7-10) in the opening round of the playoffs.

In the other action July 20, Zig Zags downed Beimers 20-13 as Mark Simons had four hits, including two hom-ers, to bring that total to a league-leading dozen.

Kevin Pennock had a five-hit, five-runs-scored night, that featured his fourth homer of the season in the fourth inning. Mark Smith chipped in four hits.

Area’s ranch rodeo debut good test of ranching skillsJOHN CARTER

[email protected] The dust had barely settled

on the fourth annual Grand

Team Penning Championship in Grattan, when local horse enthusiasts were at it again.

A group of local riders got

together and hosted what is thought to be the area’s fi rst ranch rodeo near Portage du Fort Sunday, July 19.

The organizers are so pleased with the result they are planning to make the ranch rodeo, a popular pursuit in Western Canada, an annual event in this area.

“We’ve already booked it for next year,” said Jan Stewart, one of the organizers. “Next year we’re looking into making it into a two-day weekend event.”

Stewart said the Grand Team Penning Championship at Peter

and Val White’s Peat Vale Farm on Grattan Road July 11-12 grew again in popularity this year, attracting competitors and spectators from all over Ontario, Quebec and Eastern U.S.

The ranch rodeo featured competitors invited from Ren-frew County and the Pontiac as well as from the Ottawa area and as far away as South Mountain.

As a first-time event organized on at the spur of the moment, it wasn’t well publicized. Never-theless, people were pulling over to watch when they saw what was going on, said Stewart.

Main organizers were Keith and Sheila Overton of Haley’s Station for the event at Roy and Jen Childs’ farm between Por-tage and Shawville.

A ranch rodeo features teams of four female riders competing in team cattle penning, sorting cattle, loading cattle on a trailer and branding cattle (with paint). Points are based on results and speed.

The winning team consisted of Sheila Overton of Haley’s, Tracey Childs of Carp, Vicki Greenley of Campbellford and Jen Childs of the host ranch.

CHEO bear gets out and about in Cobden.

Friendly bear sighting in CobdenNo cause for alarm, folks!The bear seen recently

travelling the roads of Cobden was the CHEO (Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario) Bear promoting this Saturday’s Carmen Greer Memorial Ride for CHEO.

Members of Cobden Masonic Lodge 459 have decided to change the name of the event after a long-time supporter and one of the founders of the run passed away shortly after the ride last year. He lost his battle to cancer.

Masonic Lodge members say Greer did whatever he could do to help out a child, no matter what else he was doing. Greer was instrumental in helping his fellow masons raise over $30,000 for CHEO the past few years.

This year’s Greer’s wife, Lynn, will be riding in the poker run.

The event is not for only motorcycles. Take your car, vintage or otherwise, on the road. And if you don’t feel like driving, you can still buy a poker hand and take your chances with fi ve cards. Registration is 9-11 a.m. at Schauer’s Home Hardware.

First prize is $300.

Renfrew OPP offi cers responded to fi ve domestic disputes during that time. One male was arrested and charged with uttering threats and breach of a recognizance. No criminal offences took place in the other four calls.

THEFTAn increasing number of

valuables are being stolen from vehicles. The public is reminded and encouraged to lock their vehicles at all times.

This simple act will often be enough to send the thief in search of an easier target. Removing valuables from vehicles will also discourage thieves from the crime where there is no tempting target in plain view. Lock it and pocket the keys.

A Hewlett-Packard laptop computer was stolen from a vehicle in Renfrew. The theft took place July 11 or 12. The gold-coloured computer was in an unlocked vehicle. Const. Jeff Cassidy is investigating.

Outdoor solar lights were stolen from a resident of River Road in McNab-Braeside. The thefts have been ongoing, generally occurring in the early evening, prior to 10:30 p.m.

A stolen vehicle from McNab-Braeside was recovered on the same date in Pakenham. On July 16 a 2009 Chevy Silverado was stolen from a residence on Robertson Line.

The thief forced open a door to steal a set of keys and left with the vehicle. With assistance from Onstar, the vehicle was located, abandoned and undamaged in Pakenham. The vehicle was towed and examined for forensic evidence. Const. Adam Nitschmann is investigating.

Thieves entered an unlocked vehicle in Cobden and stole the faceplate from the stereo system. The incident took place overnight July 18. There are no suspects.

DRUGS, GUNS SEIZEDA search warrant was

conducted by the Renfrew OPP at a Burnstown Road residence in Horton Township June 23. Marijuana, hashish, hash oil, marijuana plants, cash and two fi rearms were seized.

The total estimated street value of the drugs is in excess of $90,000. A 54-year-old Burnstown Road man is charged with two counts of unauthorized

possession of a fi rearm, two counts of unsafe storage of a fi rearm, two counts of possession for the purpose of traffi cking of a Schedule 2 drug, possession of a Schedule 2 drug marijuana, possession of a Schedule 2 drug cannabis resin, production of a Schedule 2 drug marihuana, and possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000.

He was released from police custody on a promise to appear in court Aug. 12 and on an undertaking with conditions.

FOUND PROPERTYTwo newer kayaks were

located on the K&P trail in Greater Madawaska. If you have lost some and not yet reported them to the OPP, call to identify.

MISCHIEFA vehicle was keyed while

parked in a private drive in Renfrew overnight July 16.

Several paper boxes were damaged on Olmstead Jeffery Lake Road.Youths were seen walking in the area. Const. Mark Yarmel is investigating.

DISTRURBING THE PEACEOne male was arrested in

White Lake July 18 about 11:30 a.m. after yelling and swearing. Const. John Birmingham was conducting radar enforcement in the village when a male pedestrian began yelling and swearing at the offi cer to leave.

CommunityCommunityCommunityCommunityDomestic violence – make it your business

By GWEN RUTLANDDomestic violence doesn’t stay at home

when women go to work. Domestic vio-lence affects a woman at her workplace. It is crucial that domestic violence be seen as a serious and preventable problem, like thousands of other workplace health and safety issues that affect a business. More and more, employers today recognize that personal, “real life” problems affect job performance, and job performance affects the bottom line.

• Domestic violence affects productiv-ity and increases absenteeism. In a na-tional survey, 24% of women between the ages of 18 and 65 had experienced domes-tic violence.

• 37 per cent of women who experi-enced domestic violence report that this abuse had an impact on their work per-formance in the form of lateness, missed work, keeping a job, or career promotion.

A study of survivors of domestic violence found that abusive partners ha-rassed 74% of employed women at work. Domestic violence caused 56% of them to be late for work at least fi ve times a month, 28% to leave early 5 days a month, and 54% to miss at least three full days of work a month. It is reported that abuse also affected their ability to keep a job.

Many employers offer health care ben-efi ts to their employees. Not surprisingly, this is another area where domestic vio-lence has an impact on a company’s bottom line. The total health care costs of family

violence are estimated in the hundreds of millions each year, much of which is paid for by the employer. Employers are aware of this economic burden. 44% of execu-tives say that domestic violence increases their health care costs.

Domestic violence is an important business issue that cannot be ignored. The workplace is where many women liv-ing in an abusive relationship, spend at least eight hours a day. It’s an ideal place for them to get help and support. Domes-tic abuse affects employee health and well-being, productivity, benefi t costs, and risk to the employer. When employers see domestic violence as a workplace issue, they have the power to save money and save lives. Although employers may have their own policies and procedures, an ef-fective response to women employees ex-periencing domestic violence, could come through workplace training, employee assistance programs, or referrals to the community Women’s Shelter.

Bernadette McCann House provides critical services and support to women facing domestic violence. We offer train-ing sessions and workshops in the com-munity to provide comprehensive infor-mation in informal interactive settings, and we tailor our information to meet the needs of each specifi c audience. For more information, call 613-732-7776, or visit www.wsssbmh.org. If you need shelter or support please call our 24-hour helplines at 1-800-267-4930 and 613-732-3131.

CommunityCommunityCommunityCommunityCorporate philanthropy helps fi ght Alzheimer’s

bitHeads’ strong sense of community has been demonstrated through its years of charity work to make the community where their staff work and live a better place to live.

The Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County is grateful to be a beneficiary of its phil-anthropic efforts in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias that affects 12,000 people in our community, as well as their fami-lies.

Ted Burnett, vice-presdient of business devel-opment at this Ottawa-based software develop-ment company, believes corporate philanthropy is always a win-win sit-uation that strengthens both the corporation and the community.

Since 2001, spear-headed by Burnett and backed by CEO Scott Simpson and the entire team, bitHeads has raised over $52,000 in support of the Alzheim-er Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County’s vital programs.

These include the First Link™ Program, spe-cialized support groups including ones for per-sons with early onset dementia (under the age of 65), and education workshops.

And now thanks to its latest amazing show of support, the local Alzheimer Society chapter will be receiving a donation of over $14,000 to further support people coping with dementia.

This contribution was made possible through Burnett’s efforts along with his bitHeads co-conspirator Tess and other colleagues, including Kathy, Daniela, Angela, Natalie and Kerry to make their annual charity golf tournament held on June 24 a huge success.

The tournament’s proceeds combined with its various Charity of the Month activities that included staff paying colleagues to wear or not to wear wonky ties, will go a long way to sup-port people in our community on the Alzheimer journey so the road ahead for them can be a little easier.

For every person affected by Alzheimer’s dis-ease, 10 to 12 others are directly impacted. These include family members, friends, neighbours, employers, healthcare workers and others who must also cope with the effects of dementia.

“Our families and our health care system will feel the strain. Of those living with dementia, about 15 per cent of them are under age 65. This means that it isn’t only our health care and social systems that are being overwhelmed,” says Kathy Wright, executive director of the Alzheimer Soci-ety of Ottawa and Renfrew County.

“The reality is that the businesses and industry sectors are also being affected as our boomer gen-eration, a generation of leaders and mentors, are affected by dementia.”

Ted Burnett and his colleagues at bitHeads were involved in another great success story. It was helping to make the Guest House, a dream of the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre, the Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County, and Carefor Health & Community Services become a reality.

These three partners wanted to build a Guest House, a 12 bedroom respite bungalow especially designed for people with early to mid-stage demen-tia to allow their family members a break from the

stress of caregiving. With Burnett’s invaluable marketing and busi-

ness skills, he took on the position of Volunteer Capital Campaign Chair for the Guest House.

His dedication, enthusiasm, and success in

helping to secure financial support from individu-als and corporations, including those of bitHeads, made it possible to reach the project’s $2.8 million campaign goal that made it possible for the Guest House to welcome its first guests in 2007.

Weeding Frank Dench’s vegetable garden

The other day I looked through a farmer’s scrap-book that was fi lled with newspaper clippings and photos from the 1960s when the farmer was a young man. It was interesting looking at all those clip-pings and seeing how some of our farmers looked in their youth.

Many of the clippings were about showing 4-H calves at the Renfrew Fair. Frank Dench was in many of the pictures.

There’s a picture of Dench with new directors elected at the annual meet-ing in the mid 1960s of the Renfrew County Holstein Breeders’ Association. He’s the secretary-trea-surer. There’s a picture of him with all the directors of the association.

The Renfrew Mercury and the Renfrew Advance both covered the annual meeting.

The photos and write-ups are from both papers. It showed the importance of the dairy and cream in-dustry when most farmers milked cows.

Some farmers quit and sold their herd when the Ontario Milk Marketing Board and quotas were established in 1965. They didn’t like the idea of a milk board and quotas.

The newspaper pho-tos got me thinking. How many people today know who Frank Dench was?

If you farmed or gar-dened in the 1930s, 40s, ‘50s, ‘60s and early 1970s, you’ll remember Frank Q. Dench.

He was the agricultural representative – better known as the Ag Rep – for Renfrew County from 1930 to 1972.

Frank Dench was very involved with all aspects of agriculture and was well-liked and respected. I was never in 4-H or Junior Farmers but know the man quite well. He smoked ci-gars, had broad shoulders and wore dark rimmed glasses.

I remember the broad shoulders. At a soil and crop meeting, Frank showed slides and stood behind the projector, obliv-ious to the fact that he was blocking the view. No one dared tell him to sit down or move over to the side so people could see –not even the assistant agricultural representative, who was frowning.

When I saw the newspa-per clippings and photos of Dench posing with the 4-Hers and their calves, the Holstein breeders and the activities at the fairs I thought back to the mid-1960s when my father and I weeded Dench’s garden.

Back then we had a small dairy farm and we worked out doing land-scaping and making prop-erties look neat and trim. I was 13, 14, 15 back then. We planted cedar hedges and planted spruce and pine trees that we dug up from our property in Eganville.

I still remember the rule of thumb Father had. Don’t dig up cedars that are grown on rocky ground, they’ll die. Cedars from black soil won’t die.

I’m sure anyone who knew Dench from his many years as ag rep can tell some interesting sto-ries.

Frank Dench lived on Hall Street in Renfrew. His neatly planted garden needed a good cleaning. I’ll never forget the sight of his garden that was behind his house facing Queen Elizabeth School. It was a fair size garden.

The vegetables were all in neat straight rows with wooden markers beside

the rows. The name and variety of the vegetables were all clearly written on foot-long pegs. A lot of work had gone in prepar-ing the garden.

What was a sight to be-hold were the weeds. Most of them were taller than the carrots, beans, peas, lettuce and much thicker in numbers than the pro-duce. Probably from all the fertilizer.

My father and I were amazed that an agricul-tural representative of his stature would have such a weed-infested garden. We had a feeling he never weeded. You could see that!

And it wasn’t that the big man hadn’t been there. There was evidence that he had rested comfortably nearby.

It was a hot, muggy day in July when Father and I, on our knees, pulled out all the weeds. Then we hoed and rotor-tilled between the rows. In a few hours we had the garden looking fresh, weed-free and pre-sentable.

Some things you never forget!

Cook-off to curtail cancer to return in 2010

‘Father’ Shane Legree and ‘Sister’ Jason McKechnie, of The Holy Smokers team, are embraced by the competition during the inaugural BobSledz cook-off to raise money for Renfrew Col-legiate Institute’s Relay for Life. Getting up close and comfortable is Patrick Vincent of the Vincent’s Taxi and Limousine Service Call Girls squad and his sidekick, Eric Vincent. For more details, see inside. Mercury Weekender photos by STEVE NEWMAN

STEVE [email protected]

They literally barbecued for a cure to cancer.

Last weekend’s BobSledz Cook-off For Cancer represented a jump-start on what Renfrew Collegiate Institute will raise for its Relay for Life in 2010, as the inaugural event raised $1,071 for the cause.

In two previous years, the local high school has gone above and beyond, by raising more than $70,000 each year to contin-ue its fight against cancer. But now BobSledz owners Jeff Woito and Bob Dillabough hope to play their small part to eradicate the dreaded disease with their con-tributions from the cook-off.

Participants’ spirits were somewhat dampened by inclem-ent weather Friday evening, but Dillabough says he hopes the event improves with time.

“It was a lot of fun to organize, and the food was unbelievable,” said Dillabough of the event that took place on the closed-off portion of Renfrew Avenue, between BobSledz and the Bank of Montreal.

‘FAIRLY PLEASED’“I’d say I’m fairly pleased. It

would have been nice to have a little more support (from teams), but like every event, you have to build it.”

Twelve teams initially entered to compete in the chicken-, rib- and beef-cooking categories, but only six showed up.

The overall winner, for a prize of $500, was the Ashdad Aveng-

ers squad of Calvin and Karen Warren. They also earned top honours for best-cooked chicken and ribs.

A close second, based on scores posted by five judges, were The Holy Smokers, ‘Sister’ Jason McKechnie and ‘Father’ Shane Legree.

Sponsored by the Valley Roots meat shop in Arnprior, they wore a nun’s habit and priest’s vestment while competing in the two-day event.

PARENTSCANCER SURVIVORS

“My mom had (and beat) breast cancer and dad survived prostate cancer,” said Legree.

“It’s just for fun, and it’s for charity,” said McKechnie.

A close third in the cook-off ’s overall standings were Rick Dill-abough and Lance Delarge of Rickey’s Rockers.

The Holy Smokers earned top honours in the beef portion of the cook-off. The spirit award went to Patrick and Eric Vin-cent, of Vincent Taxi and Lim-ousine Service, who dressed up as call girls.

Another participant was Sarah McSheffrey, who was face-painting and selling cook-off t-shirts. She was raising money prior to participating in the Miss Canada Pageant next month at the Museum of Civilization. McSheffrey is also sponsored by BobSledz.

A few dozen t-shirts, which went unsold, were donated to Community Living Renfrew County South.

The pleased-as-punch BobSledz owners are rib-cooking Jeff ‘Sledz’ Woito, left, and Bob Dillabough.

Sarah McSheffrey of Renfrew adds a butterfly to Adam McAllister’s complexion. McSheffrey was raising money at the cook-off prior to attending the Miss Canada Pageant Aug. 15.

Each week we feature animals from the Arnprior and District Humane Society that are up for adoption

# 3466 Ziggy and #3467 OscarZiggy and Oscar are orange and white neutered

cats, one 6 years old and the other one-and-a-half. They were both adopted from the shelter, but their owner moved and wasn’t able to keep them. They must be adopted together, as they are great buddies. Both are very affectionate and friendly and they like attention. They also like to be handled and brushed. They are very easy-going, both have been declawed and have only been indoor cats. They are gentle and are used to a quiet home. They don’t mind other cats. The shelter will reduce their adoption fee for the right home.

#3465 Jack (formerly Hanson)Jack is a black and white neutered male 12-

year-old cat. Jack was adopted in March after being at the shelter since 2006. However, his new owner moved to a place that would not allow pets, so poor Jack ended up back at the shelter. He is affectionate, likes attention and is curious and outgoing. He is independent and likes quiet times, relaxing, and sleeping. He doesn’t mind being groomed. He enjoys playing with toys on strings. Jack would be best suited in a quiet home. He tolerates other cats as long as they give him his space. He doesn’t like bossy cats. Jack is an indoor-only cat. He would be the ideal companion for a senior. The shelter will reduce his adoption fee for the right home

Supplies the shelter needs are paper towels, cat litter (clumping and non-clumping), Whiskas meaty selections, dry cat food, and dry and soft kitten food.

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

New business pampers dogsThe Beauty for Dog self-ser-

vice dog wash and day care is the region’s newest business, catering to canines in a spa en-vironment.

Owner Jacynthe LaRiviere is happy with early response to her Shawville business, lo-cated in the Hodgins Plaza. It offi cially opened June 25.

LaRiviere says her priori-ties are the dog’s security and well-being and customer satis-faction.

“Our self-service dog wash is equipped with the fi nest in dog products and equipment,” she says.

The self-service dog wash can be do-it-yourself, or the business will do the wash for you.

The cost for basic service is $25 for a large dog, $20 medium or $15 for a small dog.

The fee includes everything you need to bath and dry your pet, including use of a profes-sional grooming table, elevated bath, walk-up ramp, high-ve-locity dryer, shampoo, condi-tioner, brush-comb and micro-fi ber towel.

For an extra $7, your pet can indulge in a DeLuxe dog wash which features:

* fast-acting, gentle and natural paws and elbow cream to soften and moisturize dry, cracked pads;

* a refreshing pet cologne fragrance to deodorize the pet’s coat for up to 24 hours;

* ear cleaning and deodor-ant pads to remove dirt;

* disposable toothbrush with minted toothpaste to fi ght tartar and bad breath; and

* guillotine-style nail clip-per and fi le curved to follow the contour of the pet’s nails. A qualifi ed technician is avail-able to help.

Promotional material says the business guarantees that the dogwash room is fully dis-infected after each use.

“Whether alone or with your family, your dogwash should be a good experience for you and your pet,” say LaRiviere. “It doesn’t cost much and your dog will love you for it.”

Beauty for Dog also offers a day care for small dog.

Described as a safe and se-cure environment, there are no cages and no isolation, rather a setting more like a living room with toys, fresh water at all times and air conditioning.

“But especially, they will have a lot of attention,” says LaRiviere. An evaluation is necessary before using the day care, to determine the pet’s preferences and health status.

Owner Jacynthe LaRiviere has opened her new Beauty for Dog spa in Shawville.

Everything you need to bath and dry your pet is available, including use of a professional groom-ing table, elevated bath, walk-up ramp, high-ve-locity dryer, shampoo, conditioner, brush-comb and microfi ber towel.

MP Cheryl Gallant with Murray O’Connor catching the action at the Cobden sale barn.

AgricultureAgricultureAgricultureAgricultureAgriculture information meeting Wednesday, July 29 in Cobden

Continued from Page 26“Mr. Inglis will focus on the Farm Debt

Mediation Service (FDMS). The FDMS is one of several federal agricultural de-partmental programs that assist the sec-tor, through assisting individuals, to man-age risk or to recover from the effects of unforeseen events. It is complementary to other Departmental programs, and to risk management programs in particular, and does not overlap or confl ict with oth-er programs offered by the Department. It is the only permanent Departmental pro-gram targeted specifi cally to individual farmers experiencing debt-related fi nan-cial diffi culty,” the MP said.

“I am very concerned about the unusu-ally challenging circumstances in the hog sub-sector in recent months and the spill-over effect this may have on cattle prices. A high Canadian dollar does not help ei-ther,” stated Gallant.

Another view of the farm fi nancial sit-uation is available from farm level data.

Agriculture Canada’s annual Farm Fi-nance Survey (FFS) is based on farm level data from a statistically representative sample of farms of different types and sizes from all provinces.

This data is used to develop represen-tative farm income statements, balance sheets and cash fl ow statements by type and size of farm, by province or region and for Canada. The most recent Annual

Farm Finance Survey (FFS) was based on information for calendar 2006 and collect-ed in 2007. Regarding the overall fi nancial situation, a farm business can be con-sidered to be under signifi cant fi nancial stress if it has less than 75% equity and net cash fl ow of less than $35,000. Within the sector, about 4% of cow-calf farms, 7% of cattle farms, 8% of grains and oil-seeds farms and 16.3% of hog farms could be considered to have been under signifi -cant fi nancial stress in 2006.

Given the low hog prices and the high feed prices, it is not surprising that the hog sub-sector had the highest percent-age of farms at risk with 16.3% of hog farms considered to be under signifi cant fi nancial stress. A possible reason that the cow-calf sub-sector does not show a higher percentage experiencing signifi -cant fi nancial stress than it does is that, relative to hog farmers, the average cow-calf operator has more off-farm income which is normally unaffected by farm returns.

“I believe all farmers, regardless of their current fi nancial situation, will benefi t from this presentation. All fami-lies, from time to time, experience stress from money related issues. I hope that by just knowing this service is available and what it has to offer, will be of benefi t to our local agricultural producers,” said Gallant.

Encouraging numbers for church’s kids campSTEVE NEWMAN

[email protected] the fifth straight

year, kids kept flocking to Calvary Pentecostal Church’s free summer camp.

About 120 attended the camp earlier in the week, while Friday’s attendance was 107.

One of the participat-ing youngsters, Cassy Hewitt, says she loved the crafts, seeing the large green anaconda snake, and just having fun.

Another participant, Joshua Phillips, said the best parts for him were seeing the anaconda and the many games.

CO-ORDINATORSCo-ordinators and par-

ish members Dan and Lynn Ripley say they’re pleased with the positive response to the camps whose first four themes were Lava Lava, Spy Kids, Pirates and Princesses

and Super Heroes.This year’s theme was

Crocodile Docks, while next year’s may be Survi-vors.

What Pastor Lorne Andrews has seen of this year’s camp also convinc-es him of the quality of the camp.

“I’ve seen a lot of camps, and this is one of the best ones,” he says.

OUTREACHThe camp is an oppor-

tunity, says Lynn Ripley, for the church to reach out to the community.

For ages five to 12, the camp relies on donations and prizes from the pub-lic, businesses and parish members.

Those attending the camp included new youth pastor Natalie Campbell, who officially joins the parish in early August.

The camp also featured free bus pick-up by local bus driver Bill Guyea.

BIBLE STUDY TOOThe camp, which

included organized crafts and bible study, wrapped

up with Saturday’s fun-day finale.

Activities included face painting, pond fishing,

and bouncing and sliding through bounce-kingdom obstacle courses.

For more on the always-

popular summer camp, check out the camp-clos-ing group photograph on Page 45.

Some children wish for Christmas to hurry up andget here, and some children hope that all the toys on

television could be theirs. Some children simply wish for a safe and loving home.

Unfortunately, the demands of daily life don’t give us much time to think about children like Noel –

children who need a safe place to grow up.

Foster care in Renfrew County needs your involvement. A safe and loving home is not something you should have to wish for.

The $345,500 cheque is the federal government’s contribu-tion for one-third of the value of the projects funded through the Building Canada infrastructure program. The provincial government and township each match that amount to bring the value of paving and reconstruction work on Mill Street and Pucker Street to more than $1 million. “If we hadn’t received the grants, we wouldn’t have been able to do the projects for five to seven years,” said Emon. “And these projects needed to be done in the next one to two years.” Mercury Weekender photo by STEVE NEWMAN

Child’s Paradise Day Care Centre opens its doorsSTEVE NEWMAN

[email protected] care operator Marcinda Pinsent is

literally basking in the bright colours and sunlight of the new Child’s Paradise Day Care Centre at Renfrew County Place.

There’s plenty of work to do before the newest day care centre in the Town of Renfrew reaches its capacity of 60, but Pinsent says there’s no rush, as staff gradually increases enrolment over the next few months, making for an easier transition for children, staff and par-ents.

She was speaking during the centre’s open house held Thursday evening, July 16, just over a week after the day care’s doors opened for business.

Space is no problem, with 4,070 square

feet allowing for toddler, pre-school, kin-dergarten and school-children programs with respective spaces of 15, 20, 10 and 15.

There are also two playground areas, with space for 20 toddlers in the one fenced-in area, and space for up to 39 in the other. There’s also a small staff room and a kitchen.

‘BEAUTIFUL BUILDING’“It’s a beautiful location, a beautiful

building …,” said Pinsent, a White Lake resident and mother of three children.

“There’s just so much, the space and the colour,” she says of the wall and door colours, that are distinctly yellow, orange or green, while the glass-sided walls allow for plentiful sunlight.

Having worked in the industry since receiving her early childhood education diploma in 1996, she hopes parents find the centre a welcoming place for their children, so they can play, enjoy their peers and learn how to problem-solve.

“We’d like to have a focus on the envi-ronment, like planting seeds and seeing them grow,” she adds.

Once the day care is closer to capac-ity, Pinsent says staff will reach 10. That will include herself, three staff each for the toddler and pre-school programs, one staff each for the kindergarten and school-age program, and a cook.

Arrangements have also been made for the centre to be a schoool bus stop.

SENIORS’ MONTH WRAP-UP

Quail Creek Retirement Home was the scene of this year’s Seniors Month clos-ing celebration June 30. Seniors from Bonnechere Manor, Groves Park Lodge and Renfrew Victoria Hospital joined their Quail Creek counterparts for music and a strawberry social. “Seniors are the most important people,” Quail Creek administer Bev Powell said. “They teach the next generation. They teach us a lot,” she added. “Each one of you is so beautiful in your own way, and it is a blessing to know y0ou and celebrate Seniors Month with you.” Above, Quail Creek residents Norma Johnstone, Germaine Breton and Elizabeth Kohlsmith, and Kohlsmith’s daughter-in-law Dorothy Kohlsmith clap to the music during Seniors Month celebrations at the retirement centre.

CommunityCommunityCommunityCommunitySpirituality – embrace your letter of invitation

REV. BONNIE SCHARFEST. JAMES

LUTHERAN CHURCHYesterday my granddaughter

left to begin a month in Africa – working as a volunteer in an orphanage in Ghana.

There was a lot of prepara-tion – shots, photos, e-mails back and forth with the agency that arranges the placements, and air-line tickets.

One big thing was obtaining a visa from Ghana. For this she needed a Letter of Invitation from the orphanage stating she had been “invited” to work as a volunteer with them, and proof that she had already purchased a return ticket.

Finally she had her visa and copies of all the documents she thought she would need – pass-port, proof of needed medica-tion, and contact numbers. Her bags were packed and weighed. She was off and away on an excit-ing adventure.

We were at home, waiting anx-iously for the first message that would tell us she had arrived safely.

This morning her mother got an e-mail, “The flight was fine but they almost didn’t let me into the country.”

An immigration official want-ed to see the Letter of Invitation – to prove where she would be volunteering.

She didn’t have it – she didn’t think she would need it – she had a visa, after all.

She could see two men in arriv-als holding up signs with her name, and finally, after he had talked with them, for what must have seemed to her a very long time, he stamped her passport and allowed her to go with them.

So, much relieved, she arrived at the orphanage and sent the reassuring e-mail. “I’ll get a cell phone tomorrow.” Then we’ll hear more.

None of us had realized how important that Letter of Invita-tion would be.

Like many of you, I have a very special Letter of Invitation. I’ve had it since I was six weeks old. I’ve carried it with me all of my life.

It hangs on my bedroom wall. It is my Certificate of Baptism

and it reminds me that I have been invited into the family of God – that I am a child of God and I have been invited to par-ticipate in the work of God’s kingdom.

I believe each of us has such a Letter of Invitation. Your invi-tation may not be on a piece of paper – it may be written in your

heart. You just know that you have

gifts that others need and you are willing to share those gifts.

Think about it. What are your gifts, your

abilities? Where could those gifts be

used in our community – or per-haps in a community far away?

Do you have time or money or abilities to spare to make life better for others.

Open your letter and accept the invitation.

By the time my next contri-bution to this space is due, my granddaughter will be home – perhaps she will share her adventure with you.

Be kind to

Mother Nature.

Don’t pollute

and remember

to always

reduce, re-use

and recycle.

HealthHealthHealthHealthImportant information for people who wear dentures

Are You Aware of the true impact that dentures have on your health?

CONSEQUENCES OF TOOTH LOSSGradual bone loss in the lower jaw.

1. Due to the absence of dental roots, which normally transmit masticatory or biting force to bone cells, the lower jaw re-sorbs up to 1 mm per year in a continuous and unavoidable way.

2. As the tissue-bearing foundation re-cedes because of bone and gum shrinkage over the years, there is a gradual loss of denture stability of up to 85%. This may bring about some embarrassing situa-tions while in the public eye.

3. For many denture wearers, mi-graines, headaches, earaches and neck pain caused by unstable dentures are a common occurrence.

4. Denture wearers often supplement inadequate chewing with premature swal-lowing.

This leads to an array of gastrointesti-nal diffi culties including bloating, heart-burn, acid refl ux, irritable bowel and constipation. All of these disorders result from an overworked digestive system caused by inadequately chewed food.

THE CONNECTION BETWEEN HEALTH AND CHEWING EFFICIENCY

5. Pain and ulcerations caused by un-stable dentures ruin the pleasure of thor-ough chewing.

6. As chewing effi ciency decreases,

the denture wearer may be prevented from eating suffi cient amounts of fresh fruit, raw vegetables, nuts and meat. In-adequate chewing also limits the absorp-tion of dietary fi bres, minerals, vitamins and proteins required for good health.

7. When chewing is diffi cult there is a tendency to eat softer foods. These softer foods are more processed, less nutritious and higher in fat content. This may lead to an increase in body fat and blood cho-lesterol ratios.

8. The price of chronic nutritional de-fi ciencies includes increased risk of car-diovascular diseases, such as high blood pressure, heart attack and stroke. A Japa-nese study conducted in 2001 supports the fi nding that there is a deterioration of general health and premature death by six years in denture wearers.

THE UNFORTUNATE FACIAL CHANGES

9. Up to 80 per cent gradual bone loss in the jaws

10. Pronounced wrinkles on the fore-head

11. Premature aging and facial cave-in12. upward protrusion of the chin13. Collapsed lipsThe Social Price Of Wearing Dentures14. Diminished quality of life15. Loss of self-esteem16. Social isolation

SOLUTIONSFinding a solution will allow patients

to achieve the following:- really enjoy a piece of steak, raw veg-

etables and nuts;- take better care of their jaws, face,

general health and self-esteem; and- a major improvement to quality of life

and a possible increase of your lifespan.According to a consensus reached at

McGill University in 2002, the new stan-dard for dentures is a denture that is se-cured by implants because the traditional dentures fi tted to the mandible often do not re-establish a suffi cient level of mas-tication to ensure good health.

FOOD FOR THOUGHTYour denturist is a health professional

who can assist you in the decision-making process that will have a direct impact on

your health and the appearance of your face for years to come.

Although this document clearly illus-trates the dire consequences of tooth loss and long-term use of lower dentures on health and facial appearance, discussion with your denturist is truly the best ap-proach for a wise decision.

Denture wearers would enjoy better health and be happier if they chose im-plant-supported lower dentures rather than conventional lower dentures.

For more information or a free con-sultation about implant-supported den-tures or conventional dentures call lan Ringrose at Ringrose Denture Clinic in Renfrew at 613-432-4831 or toll-free at 1-888-269-5932.

Newday care at Renfrew County PlaceContinued from Page 48

“I’m happy and excited. It’s taken over a year to get to this point,” said Pinsent.

CONCERNS?Some concerns have been

aired, including some by Reeve Audrey Green, about whether this day care would have an adverse effect on other local day cares.

Pinsent believes not.Echoing observations already

made by the county’s social ser-vices director David Anderson, she said, “I think there’s such a need in the town.

“I don’t think this centre will necessarily impact other day cares.

“There are waiting lists at the other centres, and neither have toddler or school-age programs.”

Inquiries about Kid’s Paradise Day Care Centre can be directed to 613-432-2627.

MarleneKauffeldt

In loving memory of a dear mother, wife, daughter, sister and aunt who

left us July 26, 2007.

Remembering her with a smile today,As she was not one for tears,Refl ect instead on memories,

Of all the happy years.

Recall to mind the way she spoke,And all the things she said,Her strength, her courage,

Her caring soul,Remember these instead.

The good advice she gave us,Her eyes that shone with laughter,

So much of her will never die,But live on ever after.

As we loved you, so we miss you,In our memory you are near,

Loved, remembered, longed for always,Bring many a silent tear.

Ever remembered and sadly missed,Your loving family

CLOUTHIER, Roy

In loving memory of a dear friend Roy Clouthier who passed at July 19 2008

The golden gates were open, One year ago today.With goodbyes left unspoken,You gently passed awayYou didn’t say good-bye to us.Perhaps it was just as well,We never could have said Goodbye.To one we loved so well. Please, God, just take a messageTell him how much we miss himAnd give him all our love.

Never Forgotten,Ted, Mavis and all your friends at Ferguson Lake

HISKO, DougWho we lost 22 years ago.

As time goes on without you,The days have turned to years.They hold a million memories,of which you had a part,We will keep them always,Treasured in our hearts.We close our eyes and hear your voice,Your laughter and that special smileWe will never forget.Others were taken yes we know,But you were ours and we love you so.

Always loved and always remembered,Love your family

TIMOTHY JOHN VISINSKIOct 3, 1976 - July 25, 1999

Your presence we miss,Your memory we treasure.Loving you always,Forgetting you never.No farewell words were spoken,No time to say good-bye.You were gone before we knew it,And only God can tell us why.Ten years gone, seems like yesterday.

Love and missing you always.Mom & Dad

KAUFFELDT, MARLENE (Meme)In loving memory of a dear friend who passed away July 26, 2007

I know you told me gently,The decision would be rightBut was I really listen-ing To what you said that night?

I looked into your eyesand knew the end was nearI never could imagine the pain and all the tears.

I do not cry for you my friend, you’re in Gods loving careBut tell us how we can go on and never have you here.

I heard the words you said to me and saw love in your heart,the love you gave was all you had, it came from in your heart.

God took you from us, He let us say good-bye,You held us close, next to your chest,You knew you were to die.

Your spirit is beside me each and every day, but only cause you told me, Get on your knees to pray.

I look up to the heav-ens and see the shin-ing star, I hear your spirit speak to me You never will be far.

Loved, forever missed and always remem-bered,

Ann, Donald, Jael and Colin
