Special honours for special citizens STEVE NEWMAN

BRUSH WITH ROYALTY

Typically, the recipients of Admaston-Bromley’s citizen and senior citizen of the year honours have an inkling something’s up when they attend the annual ceremony.

But not Annie Beimers.

The Dutch native, who came to Canada in 1955 before raising seven children and volunteering extensively for local organizations, was completely caught off-guard with the announcement that she was the township’s senior citizen of the year.

The emotional recipient was honoured, in part, for her nearly 20 years volunteering with the Canadian Cancer Society. It has been a heartfelt connection, for she lost husband Garry and one daughter to cancer, and two other daughters are now fighting to beat the dreaded disease.

But Canada Day at the township’s municipal building was largely a day of celebration. As Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe noted, the County of Renfrew is even older than the country whose birthday was being celebrated for the 144th time. Briscoe noted that it’s important at such times to give thanks to our community-minded citizens.

Beimers, in her 80s, was announced as the senior citizen after a short biography was read that inAdmaston-Bromley citizens of the year Steve and Nancy Schultz flank the township’s secluded reference to her varied volunteer work.

The first-ever death at Calabogie MotorSports Park occurred Monday morning.

The man’s name was only released Tuesday afternoon, following notification of next

of kin. The Renfrew OPP detachment indicates the man is Calvin Essex, 42, of London, Ont. The Renfrew detachment of the OPP is assisting with the investigation. The provincial coroner’s office is leading the investigation into the first fatality at Calabogie

MotorSports Park since it opened in the fall of 2006.

About 11 a.m. Monday, officers were dispatched to a motorcycle collision at the park, which features a five-kilometre, multipleturn asphalt track.

The citizen of the year honour was shared by Nancy and Steven Schultz. The parents of three teenagers have been active volunteers in several capacities. She has been a member of the Douglas recreation committee, volunteered at the Renfrew and Cobden fairs, and been involved with various Zion United Church, Cobden Public School and 4-H club events.

Steven chaired the Renfrew County Dairy Farmers Association for four of seven years as a member, and served several years with the Farm Comes to Town event. The family also hosted youth exchanges through Opeongo High School.

ROYAL ENCOUNTER Those attending the Admaston-Bromley celebrations were sort of celebrating their own special day the previous day in Ottawa, where Sandi Box’s son Garrett had his hand shaken by Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, during the Royal couple’s visit to the national capital.

Sandi recalls seeing Lady Diana in

Kingston several years ago, but it wasn’t a close encounter like the one experienced June 30 near Ottawa’s War Memorial.

“It was amazing. There was so much excitement in the air,” said Mrs. Box. “Her hands were so soft,” recalled Garrett, who was also with his grandmother (Donna Babcock) and sister (Sydney) for the special encounter.

Closer to home, special guests reminded those at the Admaston-Bromley Canada Day celebrations about how special it is to live in Canada.

Local resident Bill McAdam spoke on behalf of MP Cheryl Gallant while calling July 1 an opportunity to be part of a country that is free of military conflict and to live in a society where we’re free to make our own decisions.

“We have a built a nation over the last 144 years,” said McAdam.

“Canada has been, and still is, a land of promise. We have built a society that celebrates achievement and excellence, and encourages young and old to share ideas and values.”

Invited MPP John Yakabuski, like McAdam, also applauded Canada and the day’s honoured citizens.

The celebrations included honouring five local firefighters with exemplary service medals, for 20 years or more of service. They included Deputy Fire Chief Pat Rowan (see photo above).

This is Sandi Box’s photo of the royal couple during their red carpet walk June 30 near Ottawa’s War Memorial. During the walk, the Duchess of Cambridge (second from right) stopped to shake the hand of Sandi’s six-year-old son, Garrett.

Education

These are several of the Grade 8 graduates in the very first graduating class from Renfrew Collegiate Intermediate School.

First Renfrew Collegiate Intermediate School grads STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

The graduating Grade 8 students are going to be in the same building in September, just not in the same school, as they jump from Renfrew Collegiate Intermediate School to Renfrew Collegiate Institute.

Ninety-two were recognized during the students’ graduation ceremony before a packed house on Tuesday, June 28. That night valedictorian Carlin Jackes reminded the audience that some things in life are actually going to become foggier, not clearer, for the graduates.

“When we look back now, we see how our dreams, as silly as they were, are an important part of who we are today,” said Jackes.

“When we were little, those dreams were to be silly things like princesses or cowboys. As we grew up, our dreams changed too. If you asked us again, we would say that we wanted to grow up and be someone important like a rock star or a supermodel. If you were to ask us now,

when you want a serious answer about our future, we don’t have an answer.

“We don’t know what our future will be like in 10 years. And, chances are that we won’t know when we start high school.

We might not even know until we’re standing on this stage four years from now. We just have to make sure that we are prepared for whatever we choose to do with our lives.”

The valedictorian also mentioned it is the teachers and parents who believed in, guided and pushed the students to “succeed in things that you never thought possible.”

She said it was also a year when students finally understood what was meant by the saying, “When a teacher teaches you something, they are giving you a part of themselves.”

Each teacher, she explained, “taught us what they know in the hopes that it would help us succeed” through coaching, organizing activities and educating.

And, so, the graduates head on to high school, for different memories and perhaps the best times of their lives, said the

St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic School pays tribute to Grade 7 grads PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

It was a day to remember June 27 as graduating Grade 7 students at St. Thomas the Apostle made the next big step on the road of life.

Highlighting the graduating class of 2011 was the presenting of Honour Roll medallions to the Grade 7s who achieved an academic average of 80 per cent in all subject areas.

Recipients were Dawson Campbell, Rebecca Carty, Keelin Dowdall, Sarah Ma-

latesta, Willow McPeak, Lacey Narezny, Simon Rowat, Maggie Verhelle and Logan Wright.

Keelin Dowdall also received an academic achievement award for the highest overall academic average in all subjects.

Rebecca Carty and Carter Blimkie earned recognition awards for demonstrating a strong ability and willingness to persevere in academic responsibilities.

Grady Zohr and Willow McPeak were the Lila Prince Award recipients as top athletes.

valedictorian.

“From the moment we enter high school in September, we will be making life decisions. We will be asked about our career, our future, and what we want to become. Will we vacation in outer space?

Will we be on the team that finds the cure for cancer? Will we become teachers?

Will we become parents? One thing is for sure though − we will all live our lives extraordinarily.”

But first it was time to enjoy graduation day.

“Today is our day,” she said. “Our mountain is waiting, we’re on our way.

We have brains in our head. We have feet in our shoes. We can steer ourselves in any direction we choose. We’re on our own, and you know what? We’re the ones that will decide where to go! We can choose where we want to take our lives, and we have the power to get ourselves there. With our knowledge, there’s no telling what we can do.”

One of the Grade 8 teachers, Scott Campbell, emceed the ceremony.

Afterwards, he spoke about how fulfill-

ing the school year was for students, who shared such high school facilities as the cafeteria, music facilities, the gymnasium and the tech department.

“The high school staff has been awesome,” said Campbell.

Appropriately, graduation night was the icing on the cake. “It was just a really feel-good night,” he concluded.

The other home-room Grade 8 teachers were Jeff Schwan, Trevor Rosien and Stephanie McCullough.

Award winners included the school board medallions for academic excellence. Those recipients were Joshua Barnes, Megan Bulmer, Megan Coad, Marissa Doe Boer, Allison Doucette, Rachelle Fortier, Sabrina Gill, Carlin Jackes and Megan Terry. Doucette also picked up the prestigious principal’s award. Top athlete awards went to Dane Brumm and Bria Katsoulis.

Robert English received the extracurricular award, Austin Clarke was recognized for perfect attendance, and the Renfrew Lions Club Citizenship Awards went to Kevin Crozier and Jenika Steele.

Health unit mishandles closure: Reid DEREK DUNN, STEVE NEWMAN derek.dunn@metroland.com

If the health unit has a credible reason for pulling out of Arnprior, Mayor David Reid has yet to hear it.

The Town of Arnprior has fired off a tersely-worded letter to Dr. Michael Corriveau of the Renfrew County and District Health Unit objecting to closure and the “lack of public process” leading to the decision.

“No advance notice was given nor public consultation held on this decision and that is unacceptable to our community,” reads the letter.

Spokesperson Catherine Bloskie said the health unit was “surprised” to receive a letter on May 17 from Arnprior District Memorial Hospital (ADMH) that, in order to make room for the new family health team, the unit’s three-member staff will have to pull out of 1,200-square feet of space at the hospital.

The province announced a family health team for ADMH in August 2010.

“We didn’t have any indications at all,” Bloskie said.

Although plenty of office space exists in town, Bloskie said administration of services will be scaled back to Renfrew and Pembroke. To search for space here may disrupt services, she said.

“Our primary concern is to maintain a continuity of service,” Bloskie said, adding that attempting to find a new office while still doing business – as it did about two years ago in

“

It would have been proper for them to approach us first.

• David Reid Mayor, Arnprior

”

Renfrew – would mean “our attention would be diverted.”

She said the move is not about saving money.

“The intent is not necessarily to save money, but to ensure continuity of service.”

In recent years the health unit pulled about two-thirds of its administration services out of town, prompting many community leaders to speculate it was only a matter of time before the whole thing was taken away.

The health unit provides educational awareness in the form of health professionals giving presentations at schools; it offers clinics at schools and elsewhere; public health nurses offer communicable disease follow-ups and immunization services.

All services will continue, though details on when and where are unknown at the time.

Asked to address public disappointment at the loss, Bloskie was upbeat.

“I would think the same number of staff will be working in Arnprior, and even additional from Pembroke.”

Reid, caught between having to show he is fighting for the town and admitting the game is over, said he is capable of accepting a good business case when he hears one. Problem is he hasn’t heard it. And he’s not happy with the process.

“It would have been proper for them to approach us first,” he said. “You want to fight for what’s fair. If someone makes a case, I’m big enough to recognize it.”

Meanwhile, the issue arose at Wednesday’s Renfrew County council meeting with Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack saying the notification process left much to be desired. “There’s no reason we didn’t get a call,” he said.

Admaston-Bromley Mayor RayeAnne Briscoe suggested a letter come from Warden Bob Sweet asking the health unit improve its notification process.

The health unit isn’t the only one taking the heat. County councillors were clearly miffed that health committee chairman and fellow county councillor Jack Wilson (the mayor of Laurentian Valley) had not informed county officials about the health unit’s move. When The Mercury asked him about the lack of notification, Wilson admitted his schedule got busy, especially with recent preparations for Expo 150.

No money for 2-1-1 STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Renfrew County council has decided not to contribute, as requested, money for the 2-1-1 information referral system launched by the Upper Ottawa Valley United Way earlier this year.

Killaloe, Hagarty & Richards Mayor Janice Visneskie, who was United Way’s honorary campaign chair for two years, was among those who backed the decision.

“2-1-1 is a great program … but the federal and provincial governments should come to the table,” said Visneskie. She also said she’ll continue to lobby for that government support.

The local United Way had asked the county for seed money of $1,000 this year, after the program was launched Jan. 28, 2011

STEVE NEWMAN Fran Bonner, president of the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Auxiliary, presents the Hospital Auxiliary Association of Ontario’s outstanding volunteer pin to centenarian Chip Troke.

steve.newman@metroland.com

Members of the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Auxiliary gathered for a brief ceremony to honour long-time member Chip Troke last week.

Just turned 101, she’s a testament of longevity and commitment.

She not only remains an active member of the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Auxiliary, but is the longestserving member of the Hospital Auxiliary Association of Ontario.

Local president Fran Bonner presented her with an HAAO pin, for being an outstanding volunteer, at the auxiliary’s June 27 meeting in Renfrew Victoria Hospital.

The recipient and friends then enjoyed cake and coffee.

Troke, who served as the local secretary for years, can still do shorthand. But she takes more than notes.

In recent years, she has hosted several fundraising luncheons at her home for the hospital’s CT scan.

low auxiliary member Mae Craig.

“She is very incredible,” says auxiliary president Bonner.

“She has done so much for the organization.”

The centenarian is not a founding member of the auxiliary, which began in the mid 1940s.

She joined the auxiliary in 1948.

During the past few years she has hosted several fundraising luncheons at her home for friends to raise money for the CT scan.

The centenarian also speaks her mind, not hesitating to say something when she sees a need.

For example, after a past stay in the hospital when she fell and hurt her hip, she suggested administration purchase special dishes to keep food warm before meals.

The auxiliary, meanwhile, continues to raise money for the CT project after pledging to raise $150,000 about two years ago.

About $90,000 of that total amount has been raised.

She also regularly adjourns monthly auxiliary meetings.

Her past contributions include providing the powder room for the charity ball for many years, and visiting hospital patients a few days before Christmas with small gifts of jewelry, perfume, aftershave or homemade candy.

“Chip is a very positive person, who encourages and supports us all as we continue to raise money for equipment at our Renfrew Victoria Hospital,” says fel-

in the county. United Way was also seeking $17,600 each of the next two years, and a threeyear renewal after that.

Concerns raised by the finance and administration committee, which recommended not funding the program at this time, included the federal government’s commitment for one year, the uncertainty of long-term provincial funding, and the fact the county (through its social services department) has provided funding to develop and maintain a date base to respond to such enquiries.

Other counties that have also chosen not to support 2-1-1 programs in their area are the City of Kawartha Lakes, Northumberland, United Counties of Leeds & Grenville, United Counties of Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry, and Lanark.

Bonnechere Manor complete with new auditorium SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Together, we did it!

The banner hanging from Renfrew Rotary Hall, the Bonnechere Manor’s brand new auditorium, said it all.

The ribbon was cut on the 32,000 square foot facility at an event Wednesday, June 29, that brought together residents, staff, foundation members and dignitaries.

The day marked the culmination of several years of planning and hard work, said manor administrator Shayne Hoelke.

“Thank you to all the special people that helped make this day a reality,” said Hoelke.

To date, $334,000 of the $424,000 it will cost Bonnechere Manor to build the facility has been raised.

The entire cost of the facility is more than $1 million.

The county’s contribution is more than $400,000 while Pembroke’s is $190,000.

The Renfrew Highland Pipes and Drums Band lead the way for invited dignitaries and foundation members into the auditorium. Guests included RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski, Renfrew County Warden Bob Sweet, Renfrew Mayor Bill Ringrose, Pembroke

Coun. Bob Hackett and chair of the Bonnechere Manor Foundation Don Goulet.

“What a difference a year makes,” said Warden Sweet.

“This is really, really, very impressive.”

MPP Yakabuski congratulated all involved, saying the facility would be used for many years to come and noting seniors are the backbone of our community.

He lauded the co-operation involved in the project. “Partnerships are essential in this environment if you want to get things done,” he said. “I have to take my hat off to the foundation. I guess you could say the Bonnechere Manor is now complete.”

Goulet said the efforts of the foundation surpassed anything he’s seen in 40 years of service club work.

“I have never met a more dedicated group in my life,” he said, adding there was never a shortage of volunteers to get things done during the campaign.

Roma Wilkins, who has lived at the manor for three years, brought greetings on behalf of residents. “I would like to welcome all of you to our home,” Wilkins said. “We really needed this and now we have it and I tell you it’s used every single

Bonnechere Manor residents Clarence Eady and Margaret Briscoe, along with assembled dignitaries, cut the ribbon to officially open the new auditorium at Bonnechere Manor on Wednesday, June 29 at the grand opening event. day. Thank you to all of you who were so kind to give us such a wonderful place.”

Special presentations included the unveiling of the name Renfrew Rotary Hall and a stainedglass Rotary logo that will hang in the hall. The club was given naming authority after becoming the first $100,000 donor to the campaign.

Presentations were also made to the project architect, project manager and builder. The foundation and major donors were also recognized for their contributions. The 17-member foundation was praised for its efforts, which included 50 campaigns, 30 presentations to municipalities and groups and countless media appearances and interviews.

The campaign consisted of more than 2,000 individual contributions and 85 corporate and in-kind donors.

Also, said officials, the auditorium could not have been possible without the financial support of the county through the Investing in Ontario program, the City of Pembroke and the generous philanthropic contribution of $100,000 from contractor M. Sullivan and Son Ltd. Margaret Briscoe, who just celebrated her 50th year as a resident at the manor, and resident Clarence Eady, cut the red ribbon before the crowds were entertained by the resident choir and several of the winners of the recent Renfrew County Idol competition.

POEM

Summer’s here, so have fun but be safe

The hamburger story While driving in to work today Radio blaring as I came alive, I heard the hamburger ventured onto the scene At the World’s Fair in 1905.

I pondered that, as the people called in To say what their favourite toppings are; Pickles and mustard, onions and such Ketchup most popular by far.

S

ummer is finally here with sunny weather and warm temperatures.

School has ended and many have taken off to the cottage. Others are relaxing right here at home thanks to a backyard pool or an air conditioned sun porch. Others are travelling, visiting relatives and vacation spots in other spots of Canada. It’s a time when the regular is not the norm and doing unusual things is on the agenda.

Yes, that’s summer and that’s what’s happening.

The only problem with summer is that it flies by too quickly. It’s Canada Day and then it’s the August Civic Holiday before we know it. And then it’s Labour Day and the regular routines of work, school and family begin again. There’s nothing wrong with these regular routines, but it is great when they are superseded by summertime happenings.

The most important thing about summer, though, is to be safe. Don’t take that unnecessary chance; don’t let danger get the better of you. On the roads, slow down and get there safely. In or on the water, show great respect and don’t take foolish chances – and always wear a life jacket.

When walking or cycling, take that second glance – make sure that it is safe to go, whether on foot or on your wheels.

Summertime is the time to relax and enjoy life and all that it can offer. But this does not mean that safety should be thrown to the wind. Activities can be fun but they should not be hazardous.

There’s lot of fun to be had, no doubt about it. But it can be safe fun, healthy fun. Don’t take foolish chances and end up injured – or worse.

We hope that everyone has a summertime filled with family and fun – and safety.

It occurred to me as I drove along I could look at each child here as such, I could garnish them as a hamburger With a smile and a gentle touch.

When I meet the poor unfortunate souls, As I walk up and down the hall; I could look at them as a burger Needing condiments added, that’s all.

The bottom half of their bun you see Could be a home that’s somewhat askew, The burger itself is the child I see, Sometimes crispy and tough to chew.

LETTER

Challenges, frustrations in forestry industry To the editor, At a recent meeting of Renfrew County’s Forestry Committee, it was brought to our attention that local politicians were getting a lot of questions asking what was happening to help the forest industry locally. I am writing to update what County of Renfrew staff and elected officials have been doing.

Most county residents are aware the closure of two main facilities, Smurfit-Stone in Portage du Fort and ATC Panels in Pembroke, greatly affected the forest industry in the County.

These two facilities took delivery of a large amount of lowquality forest products and sawmill residues.

In order for the forest industry to survive, they must market these materials; even a perfect load of logs generates about 50 per cent residues in bark, sawdust and slabs.

These residues don’t generate much money for the forest industry, but they must be sold

to “make ends meet,” much like a beef producer must sell hamburger along with the steak.

In a logging operation, upwards of 70 per cent of the material harvested is not suitable for uses other than pulp, and it is not economically feasible (nor environmentally sound) to harvest only the higher quality logs.

Why has the market for lowend forest fibre declined?

In this era of electronic communication, there is a perception that paper use is declining, but that isn’t the whole story with the pulp and paper industry. What has mainly affected the industry in Canada is our inability to compete globally; many other countries now have paper mills, and they produce fibre much more cheaply than we can.

Some have balanced rules with the need for jobs and wealth creation in rural areas; they view the forest industry as a vital, renewable and inherently sustainable sector that

But if I just reach out, that burger could be Much more edible and easy to eat, My smile could become the pickle they need On top of that dried out meat.

I could tousle a head as I walk along That could add some mustard you see; A friendly hello and how is your day Could be onions they get from me.

Tomatoes, well heavens! will come when I say Did I tell you what a great kid you are?

The relish could be when I wipe that tear, When they miss mom as they leave that car.

Oh goodness, this burger looks so yummy, I can’t wait to get on my way; To think of ways to slather the ketchup on To make a wonderful burger today!

Ellen Milosek Douglas must not be squandered.

In some cases, they have little regard for the environment, pay very low wages, have low energy costs and can grow fibrequality trees much more quickly than we can.

Using wood fibre to create energy seems like a simple solution. Convert your bad wood into pellets, or burn it to create steam to turn a turbine and sell the electricity.

A robin with an unusual summer frock

ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK Clarence Bos had a male rosebreasted grosbeak at his feeder this week. This species has been a regular at most feeders this spring. We can expect to see the female with her brood appearing at feeders if they have not already done so.

First winter males are like the adult female, with a boldly striped head and pale bill but showing light striping on the pinkish-red breast.

They’ll attain full breeding plumage next spring.

The females, males and young will be giving a chunk call when approaching the feeders.

The young are often loud when demanding food from their parents.

The tooyou call is common. By the third week the adults become quite forceful when feeding the young, pecking at them and often chasing them for short distances.

It seems they are telling them “to leave home and find their own food.”

CEDAR WAXWINGS Marilyn McNaule has cedar waxwings nesting on their property. This waxwing is a summer bird; the Bohemian waxwing is a winter bird. The cedar waxwings come to nest the Bohemians come to feed.

Cedar waxwings are very sociable. During the nesting

JIM FERGUSON

Bricker Kirwa of Finland has a laugh over a pot-bellied pig, Sebastien, at Horton Canada Day festivities during a visit to see his Canadian grandparents.

SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE season they will join other members of their species to feed.

The high pitched see call seems to bring them together.

When the flocks return from feeding, the various pairs separate into respective nesting territories. Prospective mates will also pass a berry between them until one accepts the gift and they fly off together. Watch for these behaviour patterns if you have waxwings nesting on your property.

Tree swallows, robins, rose-breasted grosbeaks and chickadees have fledged young from nesting sites near the McNaule home. The robins are raising their third brood.

A SPECIES TO WATCH FOR Bank swallows are a species that are always around but little attention is paid to them. They nest at the end of a three-foot deep burrow most often in a sand bank created in a gravel pit or a sand dome. The pair will excavate their own burrow but will use an abandoned kingfisher burrow if available.

Colonies will contain up to a hundred pairs on the same site and they will mob any predator that approaches. If you know of any bank swallow sites, please let us know?

YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKERS Andy Humphries has a pair of sapsuckers nesting on his property. This species can be quite destructive, especially to mountain ash and birch trees.

The birds drill rows of holes in the tree bark and feed on the sap.

Unfortunately, destructive insects and fungi can access the inner part of the tree through these holes and cause parts or the entire tree to die.

There compounds, when applied, will prevent infection in the trees.

A POPULAR BIRDER DIES Chris Michener was a popular and enthusiastic birder. I joined him on many field trips and his knowledge and keen interest in all things natural added greatly to any venture. He will be missed among the many birders that knew him.

Enjoy your birding.

Noma Deshane sent us a picture of a robin with an unusual summer frock. The dark brown plumage on the back and head of the bird has been exchanged for pure white feathers. There are patches of the dark brown and black showing through the white on the back and nape. The white is very eye-catching and the bird stands out from all other robins.

Noma says the habits are those of a robin: up-right posture when looking the situation over, the ear to the ground posture when listening for worms and the habit of running rather than hopping in search of food on the ground.

The condition is referred to as partial albinism. The pigments are reduced and one or more is absent, from parts of any or all areas of the plumage, skin or irises. Of all the degrees of albinism this is the one we see more often. Birds with partial albinism have a much better survival rate than those with total albinism. In the latter condition the feathers tend to be brittle, the skin is prone to sun burn, and vision is limited.

It will be interesting to see if any off-spring have the condition.

NOTICE TO CREDITORS IN THE ESTATE OF

AGNES GRENIER LATE OF THE TOWN OF RENFREW, IN THE COUNTY OF RENFREW, HOMEMAKER, deceased.

Municipal politicians frustrated with challenges, too Another major problem is if you do happen to produce energy, OPA can’t buy it because they don’t have grid capacity. This means the power lines have all the energy in them they can take; there isn’t room for any more.

And you can’t “island”; that is, use whatever energy you need for yourself and sell the excess to OPA. You have to sell it all to OPA then buy it back. Interestingly, many people who have installed solar panels under the Microfit program have discovered that Ontario Hydro won’t take the electricity they generate; they don’t have the capacity available in their lines.

County staff and elected have met with the Minister of Energy on two occasions to discuss a review of the FIT rates.

FIT rates are to be reviewed this fall, and to this end, the County (through Renfrew County Community Futures Development Corporation) contracted with Queen’s University’s Monieson Centre to develop realistic rates for woody biomass.

Staff met with the OPA on two occasions, and will be meeting with them again to present the findings and propose a rate that will encourage the use of wood to create energy.

There are a number of other challenges facing the forest industry that elected and staff has responded to over the past several years.

Meetings with a series of Provincial Cabinet Ministers over the “Lightening the Footprints of Logging in Algonquin Park” proposal, the Endangered Species Act, the Proposal to Change Forest Tenure (Bill C161) and a number of other items of concern to the county’s forest industry have been ongoing, with mixed results.

Now, we are facing a 36 per cent reduction in provincial forest roads funding that will impact all sectors of the industry.

What is bewildering to staff and elected

alike is the provincial government seems to have very little interest in anything outside the GTA. The same concerns have been expressed throughout Northern and rural Ontario − not just Renfrew County is being ignored.

This is another result of the urban/rural split that divides this province; the dominant urban voters are unconcerned with the failure of a renewable and sustainable forestry sector that until now has been second only to the auto industry in Ontario’s balance of payments.

Challenges exist on the federal level as well. Renfrew County’s forest industry has expressed deep concerns regarding the apparent dumping of pine lumber into Ontario from the United States.

American lumber is flooding our market at a price we can’t compete with. Elected, staff and industry personnel have taken these concerns to our federal MP, and are waiting for a response.

For those of you who make your living in the forest industry, rest assured your municipal politicians are aware of the issues and are doing everything in their power to help the industry. They are every bit as frustrated as you are.

AND TAKE NOTICE that after the last mentioned date the assets of the estate will be distributed to the persons entitled, having regard only to those claims of which notice shall have been received as aforesaid.

DATED at Renfrew, Ontario this 24th day of June, 2011.

Continued from Page 8 Over the past two and a half years, County of Renfrew Economic Development and Forestry staff and local elected officials have met with over 30 potential investor groups with the objective of establishing either a pellet plant or a wood-burning electrical generation facility. So why hasn’t anybody built one?

First of all, we can’t produce pellets at a price that works compared to cheap fossil fuels, especially natural gas. We cannot compete with off-shore pellet producers for many of the same reasons we can’t compete in international pulp markets – they have cheaper wood, cheaper labour and other cheaper inputs.

A pellet plant, producing pellets to sell into the international market, needs to be on or near a saltwater port, or have access to efficient rail transportation. With the abandonment of the railways here in the Valley, that opportunity is now lost.

In Quebec, the federal and provincial governments have subsidized new forest product facilities, such as the pellet mill in Portage du Fort; without these subsidies, plants like this are not viable. We do not have similar subsidies available in Ontario.

As far as electricity goes, the rate Ontario Power Authority will pay for electricity generated by woody biomass is not enough to make it pay. Under the Feed-in Tariff program (FIT) OPA will only pay a little over 13 cents per kilowatt-hour for energy produced by biomass, and the rate required by producers is in the $0.20/kwh range.

This is in sharp contrast to what OPA pays for energy produced by solar farms ($0.44$0.80/kwh range) and wind ($0.26/kwh).

In Europe, where wood energy is well developed, the FIT rates are set at levels between 16 and 30 cents per kwh to foster the creation of green energy from wood.

NOTICE is hereby given that all creditors and others having claims against the above-named deceased, who died on or about the 15th day of June, 2011, are required to file particulars thereof with the undersigned on or before the 24th day of July, 2011.

Serious two-vehicle collision at Four Corners The Renfrew detachment of the OPP is investigating a serious collision that left one woman with life-threatening injuries on Canada Day. OPP officers responded to the two-vehicle collision about 10:30 a.m. at the intersection of Storyland Road and Chenaux Road in the Township of Whitewater Region.

The intersection, commonly referred to as The Four Corners, is a through road for Chenaux Road and controlled by a stop sign for Storyland Road to the east and a stop sign for County Road 653 to the west.

The investigation revealed a 2010 Ford Escape operated by Kenneth Watson, 81, was westbound on Storyland Road when he proceeded into the intersection into the path of a 1999 Chevrolet Silverado pick-up truck towing a small camper.

The Silverado, which was

travelling southbound on Chenaux Road, was driven by Bruce Peck, 49, of Clarendon, Que. The female passenger in the Ford Escape suffered critical injuries.

She was transported by paramedics to the Renfrew Victoria Hospital and then airlifted by air ambulance to the Ottawa Hospital.

The male driver of the Escape suffered injuries and was transported to Ottawa Hospital by paramedics. An adult female and an infant passenger in the Silverado suffered minor injuries. The male driver of the truck was not injured.

The intersection was closed while technical traffic collision Investigators worked.

Const. Jeff Cassidy is investigating and a charge under the Highway Traffic Act of Ontario is pending.

This was the scene following a two-car Canada Day collision at the Four Corners.

False 9-1-1 calls continue to eat up valuable time for OPP Members of the public need to be aware that accidentally calling 9-1-1 ties up both police and communication centre personnel.

In Renfrew during the past week, OPP officers responded to 23 false 9-1-1 calls.

Police ask that you not pre-program 9-1-1 as a speed dial option on your phone, and that you not allow young children to play with cordless phones.

Police response times to other calls for service may be reduced when busy attending to false 9-1-1 calls.

9-1-1 is for life threatening emergencies only.

To reach the OPP for other calls for service, such as a collision where no one is injured, call 1-888-310-1122.

DOMESTIC DISPUTES Renfrew OPP officers responded to 12 domestic disputes during the past week.

One male was charged with

breach of probation, possession of marijuana, mischief under $5,000, trespassing and public intoxication; and one female was charged with two counts of assault.

SEXUAL ASSAULT One male has been charged after police received information that a five-year-old child had been sexually assaulted by her grandfather.

Police began their investigation when the child disclosed the information in late June.

A 56-year-old male from the Township of McNabBraeside was arrested and charged with five counts of sexual assault, and five counts of sexual exploitation.

He was held in custody for a bail hearing July 4.

He will not be identified to protect the identity of the victim.

Const.

Amanda ruthers investigated.

IMPAIRED DRIVER On June 28 about 10:30 p.m., officers observed a suspected impaired driver in Renfrew.

Officers activated their emergency lights and attempted to stop the vehicle on Munroe Avenue when the vehicle failed to stop.

The vehicle eventually pulled into a private drive on McLean Street where the male driver was arrested for impaired driving and failing to stop for police. He was transported to the detachment for breathalizere tests.

A 41-year-old year-old Renfrew man was charged with flight from police, dangerous driving, impaired driving, and driving over 80 mgs. He was released on a promise to appear and undertaking with conditions.

Previous to the fatality, Steenbakkers says there hadn’t even been a serious injury at the facility.

Literacy basic skills modified

The Literacy Basic Skills Modified Program provides opportunities for meaningful work and personal development for persons with disabilities.

The program is a Renfrew County School Board initiative for adults who are coming out of high school or who what to brush or refresh their skills.

“The program develops reading, writing, speaking, numeracy and computer skills,” said literacy instructor Annette Kinslow.

“It focuses on the skills the learner already has and works toward the required skills needed for independence, employment and success.

“The program looks at the individual and helps them identify their goals and decide on a training plan to reach them,” Kinslow added.

Listening to individuals with disabilities, as well as parents, schools and organizations that represent them, can help everyone to understand the relationship between literacy and disabilities.

EXCITING NEWS The new Ontario Adult Literacy Curriculum supports a task-based approach to learning, linking the learner to the world around them, notes Kinslow.

“Completing tasks helps the learner understand how they will use their new skills and to respond to real life demands that they will encounter as they transition to their next step in life.”

For example, outside of their classroom at Community Living on the wall is a montage on the just completed National Hockey League season which has been continually updated.

The project helps literacy clients with their computers skills in keeping up with the league and its teams, math skills with statistics, communication skills, writing skills and much more.

Jesse Stroud on the computer, Joanne Vincent working through the websites to find the history of the Montreal Canadiens, and Kevin Ostroskie out meeting people as he delivers the Renfrew Mercury each week are just a few examples skills clients learn and improve upon in the program.

“The best way to understand the literacy needs of people with disabilities is to listen,” Kinslow said.

“Listening to the individuals with disabilities, as well as parents, schools and organizations that represent them, can help everyone to understand the relationship between literacy and disabilities.”

The Literacy Basic Skills Program is located at 326 Raglan St. Renfrew in the Community Living building.

Registration is year round. There is no fee, only the cost of your school supplies.

“You do not have to be a client of Community Living,” Kinslow said. “We are in partnership with Community Living.

They provide us with this giant space (upstairs), computers and the Internet.

“The Renfrew County District School Board and Renfrew Community Living are working together to bridge the gap between disabilities and literacy,” Kinslow added.

More information on the Literacy Basic Skills Modified Program is available by calling Melissa Friske at 613-432-3150 or Annette Kinslow, 613-432-6763.

Three members of Timberwolves Valley Division champions headed back to Shawville PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

The Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League has rescinded a deal that the Renfrew Timberwolves made with the Pontiac Juniors six weeks ago.

The nine-player swap would have kept much of the core of Renfrew’s 2010-11 Valley Division championship club together.

Three pre-Christmas 2010 acquisitions the Wolves added – players whose rights reverted back to Shawville at the end of the 2010-11 season – were dealt back to Renfrew in late May 2011.

But in a decision announced by the league this past Monday night, veterans Dave Hobbs, defenceman Tyler Orr and Renfrew native Jimmy MacMillan, plus Quinton Rook, a fourth player in the deal, were deemed Shawville property.

Close to 4,000 runners competed in the Spartan Race at Camp Fortune last Sunday. Among the competitors, from left, were Renfrew’s Hughie Nolan, Charlene Nolan, Hillary MacMillan and Amy D’Aoust.

Two other teammates, Dan and Katie MacDonald, are missing from the photo. The race featured a five-kilometre obstacle course.

Runners enjoy a beautiful Sunday in the mud

A number of teams from the city and the Valley tested their mettle at the Spartan Race held at Camp Fortune July 3.

The five-kilometre event resembled a boot camp as competitors challenged the terrain of Camp Fortune, plus a number of obstacles along the way.

Combatants had to contend with mud to run through, barbed wire to crawl under, fire to leap over and guys wielding sticks to dodge.

There were about 3,700 competitors registered for Sunday’s race, which included online and on-site registrations.

One Renfrew team consisted of Katie MacDonald, Dan MacDonald, Hillary MacMillan, Amy D’Aoust, Charlene Nolan

and Hughie Nolan.

Charlene Nolan said she and her teammates enjoyed the experience.

“It was a tough muddy race that pushed you to your limits,” Nolan noted “This race was designed to test your resilience, strength, stamina and the ability to laugh in the face of adversity.

“I can’t wait to do it all again next year.”

Proceeds from the Camp Fortune event, and all Ontario Spartan Races benefit Soldier On, a ski program for disabled soldiers.

The Camp Fortune Spartan Race cost participants $40 to enter, and most finished the day happier than a pig in mud.

The rights to brothers Matt and goaltender Mike Rosebrook, Kirk Skebo, Eric Logan and blueliner Pat Collins return to Renfrew.

A separate deal which saw the Wolves receive 19-year-old defenceman Kurt Fraser from the Pontiacs in exchange for Colin Graham was also stamped null and void.

Wolves general manager Brent Sylvester said appealing the decision would be a waste of money.

The league doesn’t have to face a higher level when it comes to authorizing trades.

Sylvester added, he feels badly for the players involved.

“It’s a large disappointment for the kids,” he said. “The kids want to remain here. They really want to play here but have been denied their wishes to be a Timberwolf.”

The original deal was posted on the trades and transaction

page on the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League website at the time it was made, but was removed a short time later.

The Pontiacs also put a new management team in place since the original deals were made.

They missed the Valley Division playoffs each of the past two years.

Sylvester and coach Tony Iob have now turned their focus on the 2011-12 season.

“Tony is very optimistic and excited from day one. He is looking ahead to the upcoming training camp,” Sylvester said.

The Timberwolves will hold a free-agent camp Tuesday, Aug. 23 to Thursday, Aug. 25 at the MaTe-Way Activity Centre for players born 1991 to 1995.

Check the Wolves website at jrbwolves.com for more details.

“The main camp will start the following week,” Sylvester added.

Hockey never far away Hours of daylight are diminishing, so another hockey season can’t be too far away.

The 2011-12 National Hockey League schedule is out.

Some good rivals meet right off the bat Oct. 6 with Philadelphia in Boston to watch the Bruins raise their Stanley Cup banner.

Also on opening night, Montreal travels to Toronto.

The Winnipeg Jets play their first game at home to the Canadiens Oct. 8.

The Ottawa Senators open regular-season play against the Red Wings in Detroit Oct. 7, and then meet the Leafs in Hogtown the next night, which is the first Saturday of the regular season.

Ottawa’s home opener is Tuesday, Oct. 11 when old buddy Dany Heatley and the Minnesota Wild come to town.

The Leafs are at Scotiabank Place Sunday, Oct. 30, Saturday, Feb. 4 and Saturday, March 17.

The Canadiens visit on Friday, Nov. 4, Tuesday, Dec. 27 and Friday, March 16.

The Senators also host the

PETER CLARK PETER’S PUTTERINGS 2012 all-star game on Sunday, Jan. 29.

The only rematch of this year’s Stanley Cup combatants is on Saturday afternoon, Jan. 7 when the Canucks visit Boston.

They are already booking extra security for downtown Vancouver in case the Canucks lose that game.

Hockey Day in Canada: Some were pondering how they would work Winnipeg in with the other six Canadian teams for Hockey Day in Hockey come Feb. 11.

However, people forget the Jets are still playing on Atlanta’s schedule. As fate would have it, they don’t even play that day. Edmonton is in Ottawa, Montreal at Toronto and Vancouver at Calgary.

He’s big, he’s bald, he’s Alex Auld: The Ottawa Sena-

tors have inked goaltender Alex Auld to back up Craig Anderson for the coming season.

In this day and age, $1 million isn’t a whole lot to spent in what will be Auld’s second stint with the Senators.

He probably won’t buy a house.

Since the 2005 lockout, Auld has suited up in the NHL with the Vancouver Canucks, Florida Panthers, Phoenix Coyotes, Boston Bruins, Ottawa Senators, Dallas Stars, New York Rangers, Montreal Canadiens and now the Senators once again. * * * The current National Hockey League general manager who was the 1969 Canadian junior golf champion is Dale Tallon of the Florida Panthers.

And for this week: Jason Frasor is closing in on the all-time team lead for most appearances by a Toronto Blue Jays pitcher, with 447, as of July 4.

Modest tax-rate changes in Greater Madawaska STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Greater Madawaska residents will face a modest tax-rate decrease or increase this year, depending on the assessment value of one’s home.

The township budget, passed June 23, will create minimal heartache for taxpayers, largely because the education and County of Renfrew components of the total tax bill are down this year.

With an increased municipal levy of $136,596 over 2010 and a municipal tax rate decrease of 0.15 per cent, the township will be able to accomplish a few things this year.

“You still have to be realistic, and have an affordable rate,” said Mayor Peter Emon.

“Not everyone gets a raise from their employer every year, and we don’t want to have too much of an impact on people’s lives.”

The total impact for someone with a house assessed at $100,000 will be a $39.92 decrease in taxes. But that tax bill jumps by about $51.34 for the same house, if its assessment rose to $110,000 in 2011.

The average house price in Greater Madawaska is estimated at over $250,000.

The average home owner, then, would likely face an overall tax increase of $99.83, if that assessment value remained unchanged in 2011.

If a house’s assessed value rose the township average of about 10 per cent, from $250,000 to $275,000, the overall tax bill increase would be $128.

Achieved objectives for the 2011 budget included maintained programs and services, paying down of more unfinanced capital, and a few new capital projects, namely substantial work to improve

tal projects, another 17 per cent on such protection services ($668,526) as the fire department, and 14 per cent ($550,395) on administration.

Another 11 per cent will be spent on environmental activity, five per cent on recreational and cultural services, five per cent on planning and economic development, two per cent on municipal

about one kilometre of Ferguson Lake Road.

About $200,000 of work will be done on Ferguson Lake Road, to improve the road bed, drainage and sight lines.

That money is coming from Investing in Ontario infrastructure funding in 2008.

Much of that $800,000 was spent two years ago on repairs to Norway Lake Road.

Other repairs this year will include work on a major culvert replacement on Fraser Road near Hurds Lake.

“It would have been nice if we didn’t have to increase the levy,” said Coun. Brian Hunt, chairman of the finance committee.

“It was my first time (chairing the finance committee), and without a treasurer it was a bit of a struggle,” he said in reference to Jennifer Barr’s departure in January 2011 to work for Horton Township.

The budget was also more challenging than in 2011, with grant revenue down from $5.7 million to $3.9 million.

Meanwhile, financial challenges include the paying down of debt on purchased equipment, like the fire department’s two new pumpers and a pair of four-wheel drives. The pumpers will be paid off by about 2015 and 2016 respectively.

About $300,000 in unfinanced copy (which the township borrowed from reserves) will be paid down this year.

Total revenue of $3.8 million for the Greater Madawaska 2011 budget includes $1.65 million from taxpayers, nearly $800 in both payments in lieu and grants, $415,242 in other revenues, and $261,478 in capital funding from reserves.

This year, 24 per cent of Greater Madawaska’s budget will be spent on roads ($953,800), 20 per cent ($792,740) on capi-

properties and two per cent on council expenses.

Protection services expenses will include the purchase of new ventilator equipment for firefighters, and payment on unfinanced capital for department vehicles.

The budget was passed by a council vote of 5-0.

GM Township replaces firetruck peter.clark@metroland.com

The Township of Greater Madawaska has replaced an unserviceable firetruck without handing the burden of payment to the taxpayer.

It was recommended to council June 23 that the township purchase a 2004 Western Star tanker truck with baffled 3,000

gallon stainless steel tank with 219,000 miles at a cost of $118,000 plus HST. The truck can be purchased over a fiveyear period with no increase in taxes, Coun. Glenda McKay said. The GM fire department has tested this truck and feels very comfortable that it will meet requirements, said firechief Betsy Sayers.

Education

Grade 7 graduates in the limelight for year’s accomplishments Continued from Page 3 They exhibited strong athletic abilities and excellent sportsmanship.

Dawson Campbell received the Harold Bolger Award, and Logan Wright the Jennifer McGregor Memorial Award for their strong citizenship skills, helping out staff or peers and contributing to the overall well-being of the school.

The Kay Gollinger-Lorente Christian Leadership Award went to Alexander Woertink for his positive self-image, and serving as a positive role model for peers.

Simon Rowat earned the Esther Hall Memorial Award for displaying the qualities cherished by the vision statement of the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board.

This award honours strength in a wide variety of areas – mind, body, heart and soul.

This year’s Grade 7 class valedictorians were Keelin Dowdall and Simon Rowat.

The theme of Dowdall’s address was memories.

She talked of memories and milestones the class shared over the years at St. Thomas. Dowdall wished her classmates all the best as they move on to high school and told them to “have faith in our Lord God because he will raise you up.

“We must never forget today because it is the end of something simple and the beginning of the rest of our lives,” she concluded.

Rowat took the opportunity to thank the staff of St. Thomas the Apostle and the parents of the graduates for their support through the elementary years.

He spoke of the importance of friendship and the lessons they had learned together as a class.

Rowat closed his speech with a quote from Philippians, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

Another youngster adds a hand print to the police cruiser during Canada Day at Ma-Te-Way Park.

Auxiliary Constable Rhys Densmore of the Renfrew OPP is joined

by Sly Wolfe, 10, at this Canada Day fun station. Children had their hand painted the colour of their choice, before placing their removable hand print on the nearby police cruiser. “It’s a just a chance to have the public meet the officers and let them know the officers are good people, and that if they’re in trouble and mom and dad aren’t around, it’s safe to go see an officer,” said Densmore.

On the principal’s honour roll this year were graduating students Brendan Barber, Moira Bennett, Reid Hall and Ryan Pettigrew. Along with Grade 6 student Rebecca Coulterman, the four graduating students on the honour roll also won an academic award.

Honour roll students in other grades included Lexi Cameron, Brendan Hill, Lauren Campbell-Brunke, Georgia Clemmer, Lydia Spooner and Madison Stroud. They, along with Alecia Neill, were also given an academic award.

IS A Trinity-St. Andrew’s parish TODAY GOOD DAY honours reverends TO ACT ON AN IDEA

The congregation at TrinitySt. Andrew’s United Church said good bye to two popular people following their Sunday morning service June 26.

Rev. Barry Goodwin and Rev. Heather Kinkaid were both at the church for the past couple of years as interim ministers, but members of the congregation are quick to say that interim no longer applied.

“Throw out the word interim,” Harold Hume of the congregation said. “Barry and Heather are both life-long leaders. We are honoured to have them.”

Rev. Goodwin first came to Trinity-St. Andrew’s as an international interim minister and working half-time, Jane Lambert of the celebration organizing committee said.

“It wasn’t too long down the road when he suddenly found himself as our full time minister and our interim minister. Now that is quite a jump from half-time to one and a half time. Only Barry could fill the shoes of one and a

Afternoon in the Park treats Continued from Page 26 They enjoy playing a variety of music, including country, folk, Irish, and modern, with fiddling and step-dancing thrown in, also.

AUG. 7 Simon Clarke is an ex-band member of Freddie and the Dreamers, the world-famous British Invasion ’60s band. They had such international hits as I’m telling you now and You were made for me.

He was Freddie’s musical director and keyboard player from 1995 to 2000.

As a Dreamer, Clarke worked with many of his ’60s heroes – Gerry and the Pacemakers, Her-

man’s Hermits, Billy J. Kramer, Eric Burdon and the New Animals, Wayne Fontana, The Hollies, Marmalade, The Searchers, The Troggs, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, to name a few.

Enjoy this trip down memory lane with great songs from that period, plus other music legends such as The Beatles, Kinks, Roy Orbison, CCR and Elton John.

AUG. 21 Willy and Jim take you on a journey through the past. Remember the days of old-time radio, Charlie McCarthy and a new county sensation: Eddie Arnold?

Come back with us, and bring your family along.

Plan now for the retirement you want.

Know your options.

half people,” Lambert added.

Then Rev. Kinkaid arrived on the scene.

“Great,” recalled Lambert.

“Heather, we need you for a week or maybe two. Oh, it seems we will need you for another week. And so for a while Heather was working on one-week contracts.

“It then became clear to us that we would need her to stay on for several months.

“She and Barry managed their time together and worked well as a team.”

Lambert said the people at Trinity-St. Andrew’s were truly blessed.

“Barry helped us find out who we are as a church and who we want to become in the future and how to get there. Heather has given us her compassion, care and fun.

“We will miss them as we start on our next steps of our journey,” Lambert added.

The next step comes July 10 when the husband-wife duo of Rev. Russell Wardell and Rev. Susan Tough made their debut at Trinity- St. Andrew’s United Church.

“Thank you so much for taking us into your hearts and your souls,” Rev. Kinkaid said.

Declining enrolment limits teaching jobs, especially with public board Board chairman Bob Schreader echoed his public board counterpart on how enrolment numbers affect the overall budget. “A particular challenge is the provincial trend of decreasing enrolment, which hits small, rural school boards especially hard,� he wrote the 20112012 budget media release. “With the majority of grants based on enrolment, a drop in enrolment numbers results in a drop in provincial funding.�

He added that it is increasingly difficult for smaller boards to find new efficiencies.

However, Arnprior-McNab-Braeside public board Trustee Norm Hazelwood said boards typically hand out more layoff notices than they expect to fulfill. That’s because teachers need to know by late May if they have to hand out resumes or are certain of a job come September.

Hazelwood said in one year the actual number of job losses come fall was closer to half the number announced in spring. Either way, he added, Arnprior is likely safe. “I don’t think there’ll be many in Arnprior because we aren’t down

Declining enrolment is taking a toll on teaching jobs in Renfrew County.

County councillors were surprised to learn that as many as 40 jobs could be axed from the public board, and the Catholic board could also lose out. “Enrolment is declining at an alarming rate,� said Dave Shields, chairman of the Renfrew County District School Board. “To be efficient we’ll have to close something like one school every two years. It’s tough.�

Shields said the board has lost about 400 students over two years, adding the provincial government funds schools about $10,000 per student. Along with shutting schools and the loss of good paying jobs in rural communities, students at the higher levels – specifically in high school – lose out on the variety of courses they are able pick from.

The board has struck an accommodation review committee to examine the issue, which affects schools in Barry’s Bay and Opeongo more than Renfrew and Arnprior.

Shields said the addition of full-time junior and senior kindergarten will help offset the loss of Grade 13. But with families having fewer Online Learning children, he doesn’t see the trend changing anytime soon.

Scholars have argued in recent years that growing Canada’s population to 100 million would generate economic spinoffs; the thread being that jobs are created by the interaction of workers.

Shields said rural areas appear to be suffering from the opposite Algonquin College offers quality full-time, online programs so you can work from home effect: fewer people leads to fewer or the office and plan much of your study time around your personal schedule. These jobs. “Teachers spend money. They programs offer equivalent courses and workload to on-campus, in class programs. go to nearby stores. It’s a whole big circle,� Shields said.

Full-time online programs beginning September 2011 include: “Our future is pretty bleak.�

Perry said, noting teachers often pick up work at another school in the board.

Although the school has lost about 200 pupils, compared to larger Catholic boards in southern Ontario that have lost hundreds of thousands of students due to declining enrolment, he said the effects might not be as evident because the Renfrew Catholic board is smaller than the public board.

Perry talked about students participating in combined grade level classes. He said studies show no negative effects on learning, but the government’s intent is to see classes at lower grade levels have 20 students – all the same age.

He said it’s easier for smaller schools to produce a “community environment� where students are more than an ID number, but larger ones work hard at offering individual attention.

Perry, a former St. Joseph’s Catholic High School principal, noted southern areas of the county have remained neutral when it comes to teaching job levels. “We haven’t been hiring for jobs in Renfrew and Arnprior area in a couple of years.�

Ralph’s testimonial: I’ve tried and tested the ceramic elite eggshell finish for the past 6 years in my kitchen. I’ve washed it with “soap”, (dish soap, laundry soap, and even Vim.) The most noticeable was washing with just water…and it worked! It never burnished the surface. It’s the hardest paint finish that I have ever used, tested, and approved of.

KITCHEN & BATH CERAMIC PAINT has been tested for 12 years on all my trim in my house, I would recommend it for trim any where you want a strong, durable, soft sheen (pearl).

Forty graduates from Renfrew Adult High School STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Circumstances sometimes stand in the way of earning that coveted high school diploma in younger years.

But earning that diplo-

ma is what counts, as 40 individuals were recognized at the Renfrew Adult High School graduation ceremony June 27.

Graduates ranged in age from 19 to 51, including South America-born Mireya Morena, a former

police officer in Columbia, a country whose police challenges include the prolific drug trade. She beamed while accepting her diploma from one of the school’s teacher, Peggy McLeese.

Among the other pleased recipients was Amy-Lynn Murdoch, who delivered the valedictorian address.

“No one cries along in my presence,” she said, noting that were moments at the adult high school that this has also occurred. Each of us has our own story and history, some good, some bad, and some indifferent,” she continued. “Good advice, laughter and a shoulder to lean on when needed were always available in steady supply.

“We shared jokes, conversations we cannot repeat, during breaks and lunch, and most of all friendship.”

But the friendship came after that first nervous walk to school, after seeing her own sons off to school or the baby sitter.

“To be honest, I was scared to death,” she admitted of that first day at adult school. “Would I get good grades,” she added.

“What courses are offered … These were all questions I thought about repeatedly on my way to school.”

She also remembers, of this past school year, how teacher McLeese “never gave up on us, even if ev-

ery now and then we did.”

She also recalled teacher Marc Fournier’s motivational approach, by convincing her that she was qualified to draw more than stick men in art class.

Whoever the teacher or facilitator, the valedictorian also said that a classmate had once said their school “was not a real school, so we teased him about going to a pretend school constantly.

“In reality, he was right, we are not a real school.

We are the lowest funded school. We had photocopied textbooks, comput-

ers as old as dirt, and slow than molasses in January; no colour ink; and paper in short supply for our printers.”

But she said “we all got good grades, had fun and, heck, we graduated.

“Therefore, as far as I am concerned, our pretend school rocks and it has changed my very real life.”

To close, she said, “I hope your dreams take you to corners of your smiles, to the highest of your hopes, to the window of your opportunities, and to the most special places your heart has ever known.”

During the graduation ceremony, Murdoch received the principal’s award and senior administration award from principal Loran Young and public school board director of education Roger Clarke respectively.

Other award recipients were Carson Fraser, science; Kathy Lepine, English; Shawn Drummond, computers; Cody Fraser, most improved student; Derek Johnston, correspondence; Mireya Morena, Literacy Basic Skills; Blake Hepburn, perseverance; and William MacGregor, social sciences.

Time of reflection for St. Joseph’s 61 graduates STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

After an evening Mass, teachers, parents, grandparents and other supporters remained in the St. Joseph’s Catholic High School gymnasium to pay tribute to the 61 Grade 12 graduates.

It was mostly a time of joyful reflection, including the addition of retired teacher Janet O’Brien to the school’s wall of honour, and acknowledgement of the several dozens of bursary, scholarship and major award recipients.

Typically, there was a valedictorian address. Atypically, it ended on a musical note as valedicatorian Collin Carnegie of Calabogie picked up his guitar and invited his graduating friend, Jonathan LeGris, to join him at the podium for a reflective song about benefiting from life’s experiences.

Carnegie, who’s headed this fall to London’s Ontario Institute of Audio Technology, aspires to to do studio work in the near future.

Meanwhile, he went to the stage to wonder out loud how he might offer meaningful words to the audience of more than 300 people.

He said he wasn’t one of those students with high marks. He spent much of his free time playing music in the garage, but that didn’t stop him from reflecting on what he called the huge social benefits gained from growing up attending a small school like St. Joe’s.

“The more I think of who I am, the more I realize how this school and this year’s graduating class have shaped me.”

“If you ask me, what’s far more important (than academic achievement) is what each person his discovered about themselves.

“All of us will walk away from here tonight with a high school diploma, the same as everywhere

else in Ontario. But I think our school has given us something a little bit more valuable than this.

“We’ve developed relationships with each other that are unique.”

Because students can’t “hide from each other in a school of 400,” he added, “You’ve had to learn to resolve conflicts with each other, no matter how difficult it may seem at the time.

Egos have to be scrapped for projects to get done, for drama plays to happen.”

As he added moments later, “The lessons about being good people resonate just as much as any academic lesson has.”

A few minutes earlier, Mary Werre spoke in her capacity as the salutatorian. Referencing advice from guest speaker Ian Tyson earlier in the year, she reminded the audience about the

importance of finding the super hero inside each of us. Referencing the New Testmanent book of Timothy, she said we mustn’t think less of ourselves because we are young.

She also told the audience this ceremony represented “the finish line, the culmination of our efforts ... tonight is truly a night for celebration. Welcome to all.”

Welcomes also came from school board vice-chair Bob Mi-

These are St. Joseph’s High School’s 17 Ontario scholars for having an average of 80 per cent or higher for their top six Grade 12 courses. From left, in the front row, are Audrey McMann, Kerry Keyes, Jonathan LeGris, Matthew Tse, Natalie Walters, Shelby Whalen and Ashley Stroud; back rows, Erica Reddy, Collin Carnegie, Laura Hagerman, Caroline Holley, Madison Wren, Nick Mosco, Stacy MacGregor-Dennique, Katie Troutman, Mary Werre and Lily Freemark.

chaud, before principal Mark Searson presented the Grade 12 graduation certificates, one by one, after the reading of each graduate’s name by vice-principal Brennan Trainor.

Of the 61 graduates, 17 were named Ontario scholars for receiving grades of 80 per cent for their top six Grade 12 courses.

Following the valedictorian’s address, more than 80 awards including bursaries and scholarships, were handed out.

Some of the most prestigious recipients included Mary Werre, recipient of the Governor General’s Medal for the highest average (93 per cent) over the last two years of school.

The Douglas resident, who plans to study public affairs and policy management at Carleton University in the fall, says highlights of her time at St. Joseph’s included teacher David Rowat’s history class. With those classes she really grew to love politics, says the 18-year-old, who aspires to work as a political aide or a policy analyst.

The most prestigious award, in the words of principal Searson, was the Catholic Education Foundation of Ontario Catholic Student Award. The award recipient, for exemplary conduct, service and achievement, went to Caroline Holley of Renfrew.

“It’s an honour. I was not expecting that. It’s such a great moment,” said the 18-year-old, who plans to study public relations at Carleton University in September.

The last honour of the evening went to Janet O’Brien, who retired as a teacher last year, after spending 31 of her 35-year teaching career at St. Joseph’s.

She joined 14 other wall of honour recipients for the inspiring impact she had on so many students.

Principal Alanna Emon praised students for successfully completing what was a particularly challenging year as students from Grades 7 and 8 were moved into a wing of the school to make up the new RCIS. “What I am most proud of is the amount of time this graduating class spent on causes for others,” said Emon.

“Our future is in good hands.”

She thanked the community for the continued support, especially the many award sponsors and donors.

The large number of awards handed out at the graduation does not just speak to the achievements of the graduates but the overwhelming support from the community, she said.

Valedictorian Mae Donohue expressed thanks to teaching staff.

“Thank you to every teacher and educator that has travelled this journey with us,” said Donohue. “You are the reason we why we made it here tonight.”

She reflected on a high school experience full of activities and memories, including the first senior girls basketball OFSAA win, teacher Roger Poirier’s dream analysis, teacher Ed Oegema’s bellows, or teacher Adam Noack’s excuses that traffic was busy.

She encouraged her fellow graduates to celebrate the momentous time and to look ahead with confidence.

“We have worked hard and dedicated ourselves to achieving this education,” said Donohue.

“Graduates, whatever you do, don’t stop here. There is a huge world out there, full of surprises and possibilities.”

Teachers Todd Stewart and Anna Daber emceed the ceremonies and the invocation was delivered by Rev. Allison Sharpe.

The RCI graduation band provided music for the evening.

Trustee Marjorie Doering brought greetings from Renfrew County District School Board.

The evening’s festivities included special student per-

The governor general’s medallion was given to Christopher Rigby.

The principal’s award was presented to Nicholas Sparling.

RCI says goodbye this year to retiring teacher Chris Mussett, who spent 27 years in the school’s art department.

Renfrew County medallion recipients from Grade 12 are Rebecca Barr, Abbygail Bennett, Sheena Berry, Fraser Campbell, Michelle Chapeski-Dunbar, John Cole, Andrew Corcoran, Desiree Covert, Mae Donohue, Brittany Doucette, Jordann Hass, Curtis Murdock, Rebecca Neudorf, Steven Norton, Amanda Reckzin, Christopher Rigby, Blaire Smith, Margaret Wilson and Jacqueline Wright.

ANNUAL SUPER SUMMER SALE

Fire officials warn ratepayers to use caution during township’s fire season Continued from Page 17 The truck can also be put into service immediately. By providing a new truck base, the tank and truck should serve the township for an anticipated 20 to 30 years.

The tank can be remounted after the useful life of the chassis.

The unit is manufactured using stainless steel and fibreglas, and it is quite common that tanks last two or three chassis lifetimes, Sayers added.

A $5,000 deposit will be put down on the truck from the Fire Department Reserve Fund in 2011, with the balance of about $20,000 per year paid over five years, starting in 2012.

A second option was the purchasing of a new tank-

er truck in 2012 at $200,000 plus HST. However, a new truck, if purchased over a five-year period, would require an increase in taxes to cover the annual payments of $40,000, equal to about a one per cent tax increase.

Greater Madawaska was in a vulnerable position because if either of the two remaining tankers failed for any reason, the township could be faced with the reality that the fire department would not be in a position to respond to a fire emergency in a timely fashion, Coun.

McKay noted.

The need for a new firetruck arose earlier in 2011.

While en route to a fire in May, the existing 1986 Griffith tanker quit on the

road and had to be taken out of service.

The fire season in Greater Madawaska runs from April 1 to Oct. 31.

During that time, no grass fires will be allowed in the township.

All existing provincial restrictions on fire size, location, night-time burning and no burning when windy still apply, Sayers noted, as do Provincial restrictions on not burning garbage and treated wood, etc.

In 2012, property owners will be able to buy permits in advance.

Illegal fires that require a Greater Madawaska fire department response will result in a charge at the MTO rate of $410 per hour per truck.

Whitewater Region

Renfrew County Recycling Centre is once again hauling recyclables for Whitewater Municipality after M&L Enterprises, which was awarded the contract earlier this year, invoked the 90-day clause to terminate the agreement.

The agreement between the municipality and M&L Enterprises ended on June 30, about three months after the business started trucking away residential and commercial recyclables.

M&L Enterprises co-owner Lynne Langton said she and her partner were forced to terminate the deal – and subsequently lay off three employees – because figures they were provided at the time of the tendering process were “inaccurate.” Langton said they were told by the municipality that only 400 to 450 tons of recyclables would be picked up in a year, so they bid accordingly, coming in as the lowest bidder and winning the contract.

But the figure they were given was an underestimate by at least half, Langton said. She estimates about 800 tons will be picked up over the course of a year, based on waste collected and weighed since they took over the contract in April.

“We had to get another truck,” Langton said.

Steven Hodson, environmental services manager for Whitewater, confirmed the contract for M&L Enterprises ended as of June 30. As of Monday, July 4, Renfrew County Recycling Centre, which came in with the second lowest bid, picked up the contract for the municipality, he said. Hodson said it is standard practice to go to the next lowest bid when a contract is terminated.

Hodson, who was the landfill operations manager when the tender went out, said the numbers given to bidders were supplied by Renfrew County Recycling Centre, who previously held the contract.

“I have no reason to question the tonnage (given) by Renfrew County Recycling,” he said, adding that he never received any numbers from M&L Enterprises nor has he spoken with them.

The information the municipality got was correct, said Daniel Menard, owner of Renfrew County Recycling Centre, which held the Whitewater contract since 1991 before being outbid by M&L Enterprises. He explained all recyclable material they picked up is weighed. According to their year-end report, they picked up a total 444.1 tons in 2010, which includes residential and commercial waste. That’s within the estimated 400 to 450 ton figure supplied to M&L Enterprises by the municipality.

“The tonnage the municipality has is the actual tonnage,” Menard said.

He noted there could be a fluctuation of about 50 tons, but the difference definitely wouldn’t be by half.

Tonnage might only be part of the problem, though. M&L Enterprises bid on curbside pickup, but Langton said they soon discovered some businesses expected them to drive off the beaten path, in some cases throughout a campsite, like the previous contractor.

“When you drive more and pick up more, you soon lose money,” Langton said.

Hodson said M&L Enterprises had raised some objections to servicing campgrounds. He explained it’s the same contract that has been put out for years for curbside collection, so there’s no expectation contractors will go through campgrounds.

As the previous contractor, Menard said some businesses along busy roads – particularly Highway 17 – didn’t want pic- up on the road, so haulers drove in to accommodate those locations.

He added it was safer for drivers to conduct pick-ups off busy highways.

“They didn’t know the work involved,” Menard said of M&L Enterprises. “He did price low.”

With the contract terminated, Langton said she would have preferred the municipality re-tender with what she feels are accurate numbers, instead of going to the next lowest bidder.

But even if that were to happen, it’s unlikely M&L Enterprises would bid again.

“We don’t want it back because we’re badly hurt by the ordeal,” Langton said.

Recreation

Water safety a must when boating or swimming The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) sees the busy boating and swimming season as a great time to remind everyone about safety.

A few minutes of planning and preparation for fun on the water might just prevent a mishap or tragedy.

When it comes to boating, there is no greater safety precaution you can take than to plan and prepare.

Plan for your time on the water with the supplies you will need and make sure someone knows where you are going and when to expect you home.

Prepare by ensuring your vessel is

serviced, in good working order and you have plenty of gas.

Make sure your vessel is equipped with the proper safety equipment. Also extremely important is the personal flotation devices (PFD) on board.

Inspect them to ensure they are in good shape and consider wearing them at all times while on the water. Trying to put on a PFD while in the water and injured could prove very difficult if not impossible.

More information is available in the Safe Boating Guide available at the Renfrew OPP detachment, or online at www.boatingsafety.gc.ca.

SAFE SWIMMING TIPS Swimming in the summer comes with a certain amount of risk, as drowning continues to claim too many lives in Canada.

While swimming is often seen as a fun recreational activity, it is actually a skill that everyone should acquire as it may save your life.

A few of the recommendations to have a safe outing include swim with a buddy. That way if you get in trouble, there is someone to get help.

Swim only in water familiar to you.

Swimming in lakes and rivers is very

Split fences were built ‘horse high and bull tight’ A few miles outside of Smith Falls towards Brockville is a state-of-the-art split-rail fence, also called a patent fence.

The fence is the width of a 100-acre farm and was probably constructed in the last 10 years or so.

The area has many such fences, but this particular one is outstanding. It’s built tall and solid.

A few weeks ago on our way to Brockville I stopped to examine and study the fence. The soil is rocky thus there are no posts dug into the ground. Five thin posts standing up in a sort of tepee support five or six 20-foot rails.

The rails are wired into the tepee, and are also wired to a bottom short piece of rail to keep the fence from being over-

turned. Nails are not used in the construction. Rocks can also be piled on the bottom rail to keep it upright in a storm.

Apparently there is a man in the area who specializes in building this type of fence. I’m told if a vehicle crashes through the fence, he gets called to fix it. You can’t buy supplies at a hardware store to fix the fence. It takes special split rails.

It’s interesting how counties have different or rare types of fences.

You don’t see this type of rail fence in Renfrew County, but it’s very common in Lanark and Leeds. Cedar rails were usually prepared in the winter when frost was in the wood. Straight cedar trees “split like ribbon” while others with a twist to them were more of a challenge to

Valley Bluegrass Festival this weekend Music lovers from the Ottawa Valley and both sides of the border will converge on the Johnston Farm on County Road 20 in Castleford for the 2011 Valley Bluegrass Festival this weekend.

The 17th annual event runs Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Concert times are Friday from 5 to 11 p.m., Saturday 10:15 a.m. to 11:45 p.m. and Sunday 10:15 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Friday’s features include local artist Dennis Harrington fiddle and step show, and Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver of Tennessee.

The Dick Smith/Mike O’Reilly Band from Virginia, Nova Scotia’s Spinney Brothers, Monroe Crossing of Minnesota, Acoustic Blue of Massachusetts, and Leon Morris & Associates of Virginia will also take to the stage on the weekend.

General Store, Rhyme ‘N’ Reason, the Backwoodsmen, and Ducharme Family are also part of the festivities.

Tickets are available at the gate all weekend. Call 613-432-5000 for more information.

MAYNARD VAN DER GALIEN RURAL ROUTES the axe man. Settlers used five or six rails to make their fences “horse-high and bull tight.”

The spaces between the rails could be made as wide or as narrow as required for sheep, cattle or horses. Many of the split-rail fences have lasted more than a century.

You do see century-old rail fences on Renfrew County farms, but they are not like the ones in Leeds and Lanark.

The common rail fences are the snake fence that zigzags across rocky woodland, and the rail fence held together by two posts with wooden crosspieces nailed to the posts. The rails rest on the crosspieces.

Some are held together by wire.

Another aging wood fence seen in old pastures is the bunk or bottom block fence, built with logs notched at the ends.

Each log was laid on a short log crosspiece, or bunk.

Sometimes holes were augured in the bunks and wooden pegs were pounded in to hold the top bunk firmly in place.

Most of the rail fences built now are only for looks – the old look!

Greater Madawaska

Tip of Greater Madawaska hat to those who quietly contribute STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

It was a brief, low-key ceremony to recognize those who go quietly about making the Township of Greater Madawaska a better place to be.

On the steps of the Calabogie United Church during Canada Day festivities, Mayor Peter Emon announced the winners of the township’s community builder awards.

One plaque will be shared by Roberta and David Pringle, longtime ski patrollers on weekends at Calabogie Peaks before they came to Calabogie to live fulltime about four years ago.

As Canadian Ski Patrol System members in 1975, they were assigned to travel from their home in Ottawa to the Calabogie Peaks.

The eventual full-time move to Calabogie, in 2007, certainly involved retirement from the normal workforce.

But as the couple says in an email to The Mercury, the change “neither eliminated nor handicapped our ability to play atten-

tion to community issues.

“That is the bottom line. If a ratepayer does not, cannot or refuses to become involved or informed about what is really being debated by our elected township representatives, then the said ratepayer is not accepting his civic duty and cannot lament the outcome.”

Thus, the Pringles say they continue to make the effort to be involved in township issues.

They sit on several municipal committees and help out with the local cross-country ski club.

The other community builder is Bob Pinkham.

“It was quite a surprise,” said Pinkham of Friday’s announcement.

The mayor says he receives periodic calls from Pinkham related to such issues as littering or damage to public or private property.

A regular walker and biker, he shares what he sees, while out and about, with township representatives in a helpful manner.

Pinkham, who grew up in CalMercury photo by Steve Newman abogie, calls his interest an obliMayor Peter Emon joins the three individuals recognized as community builders of the year in Greater gation as a community resident.

Wow, what a night! Words cannot express how we felt when we came through the doors and saw you all there.

We cannot begin to thank everyone enough who contributed their time and talents to make this night a success, from the beautiful video made for us by Carrie Wright, 5th Street and Jason Pye and Mackenzie for keeping everyone entertained, Charlene Taylor for her guidance and help keeping everything organized, the many friends and family members who helped with getting the word out, decorating, making food, manning tables, and taking tickets to Don Wright, our emcee and best friend who has always been there when we needed him.

Thank you to Don Wright & A Channel, Korner Hutch, Picket Fence, Stone Meadows, Keeping Company, Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shoes, Glenda Tippens, J & J Chocolate, King Burger, Louâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Service, Lia Sophiaby Rae Ann Dagenais, Renfrew County Window & Door, Wallaceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Mill Music, Fraserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Okfuts Acrylic Nails, Tina Senack and Denyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chip Stand for donating items for the rafďŹ&#x201A;e and silent auction.

The support we have received from our families, friends and co-workers who have been there for us through all the difďŹ culties we have been through has been overwhelming and touching. We could never have made it through it all without you.

Most especially our love to our sister Connie, for without her this night would never have come to be.

We will always remember and cherish that night and all of you who shared it with us. You all have a special place in our hearts.

God bless each and every one of you and hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to many more years celebrating life and love!

Dad & Michelle

I treasure the time spent with you, Reina.

I still talk to you whenever I am alone.

I hear you in my prayers, feel you in the wind that blows.

I wonder how you are, what you’re doing way up there.

Are you laughing or are you crying cause you miss us all down here?

Only God knows when you’ll smile and take my hand And I see you again.

I wish I had the chance to hold you one last time.

It hurts me to know we never got to say goodbye, But you’re never really gone Cause your memory remains.

I miss you more than words could ever help me to explain.

Only God knows when this road I’m on will end And I’ll see you again.

We all miss and love you so much,

In fond remembrance of a beautiful lady, who passed away 10 years ago, July 13, 2001

DEATHS

SMITH, Annie Arlene (nee Galbraith)

Dearest daughter, when you died, Our hearts split in two, The one side filled with memories The other died with you.

We often lay awake at night When the world is fast asleep And take a walk down memory lane With tears upon our cheeks.

Remembering you is easy, We do it every day, But missing you is a heartache That never goes away.

We hold you tightly within our hearts And there you will remain, For although life has gone on without you, It never will be the same.

Loving you always, Lucy

There are some we meet in passing, And forget as soon as they go.

There are some we remember with pleasure, And feel honoured and privileged to know.

You were that kind of person Who leaves beautiful memories behind, And there will be many days, Which will bring fond memories to mind.
