Expo 150 arrives and thrives SHERRY HAAIMA Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Wasn’t that a party? Renfrew County Expo 150 organizers can give themselves a huge pat on the back.

There may have been a few snags – for example, traffic tie-ups on Saturday caused headaches for Expo visitors and area residents. But by all accounts, attendance at the anniversary event was even better than organizers had hoped and people were pleased with the event, which included entertainment on three stages, displays, vendors and more.

At Saturday’s Renfrew County Idol adult competition, early estimates indicated more than 17,000 people were in attendance that day. With 10,500 people Friday and 6,000 Thursday, the totals looked great and the organizing committee can be congratulated on a job well done, said Expo 150 chair Bob Sweet.

The successor for dismissed Renfrew recreation director Kelley Whitman-McKie is high.

At Renfrew council Monday night, Mayor

Bill Ringrose indicated the town had received 27 applications for the position by the June 10 deadline.

The mayor would not indicate what percentage of applicants are from within or outside Renfrew County.

He did say the number of applications are

about double what they were when Whitman-McKie successfully applied for the job in 2007.

In late April 2011, Whitman-McKie was relieved of her duties “without cause.”

A colourful, diversified opening

STEVE NEWMAN

steve.newman@metroland.com

After two years of preparation, Expo 150 was about to become official reality.

The opening ceremonies of Renfrew County’s 150th anniversary had come to the 21-acre layout at the Pembroke and Area Airport, with some of the pomp and circumstance expected for such moments.

As town crier Dave Henderson bellowed out in the opening ceremonies Thursday afternoon, “In the ordinary lives of you and I, there are extraordinary moments … We start at just a moment in time as we celebrate 150 years upon this great land.”

He reminded the same audience of several hundred residents that they stood united with those residents who have gone before, to come to this land of pine, ruggedness and beauty “For this is our Renfrew County, clean water and a future limited only by our imaginations. And so, I say to you now, God save the Queen, Renfrew County and this great country, Canada,” he concluded to applause.

SPECIAL ‘TAXI’ RIDE Shortly afterwards, Petawawa Mayor Bob Sweet took to the microphone as the county warden and Expo 150 chair to acknowledge the welcomed presence of the horsebacked RCMP officers, the mass pipes and drums, and the special ‘taxi’ ride to the opening ceremonies for Sweet, wife Sonia, and Renfrewshire, Scotland guests Provost Celia Lawson and Coun.

William (Bill) Perrie.

The foursome arrived in a carriage – once used by U.S. President Ronald Reagan in the Rose Bowl Parade and drawn this day by Ray McLaughlin’s renowned Clydesdales of Haley Station.

For this “milestone celebration of this great County of Renfrew,” Sweet noted the county has “evolved into the four pillars of our community – forestry, tourism, agriculture and industry– and into

the successful, dynamic multi-cultural diversity that is seen here today.

“This cultural diversity, which includes the Algonquins of Ontario and of Pikwakanagan … makes Renfrew County a wonderful place to reside,” he said while acknowledging Pikwakanagan chief Kirby Whiteduck among the Renfrew County special guests on stage.

Absent among the invited guests listed on the program were Cheryl Gallant, who was just recently elected to a fifth straight term as the riding’s MP, and Lieut.-Col. Keith Rudderham of Canadian Forces Base Petawawa.

ON STAGE Guests on stage included Dr. Robert Walker, senior vice-president of Atomic Energy of Canada Limited; Dean Felhaber of Ben Hokum & Sons; and Brian Hamilton, from the Renfrew County chapter of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and a sector of the economy that Sweet continues to be an innovative and thriving part of our community; Chris Hinsperger of Bonnechere Caves and president of the Ottawa Valley Tourist Association; and other business representatives who provided major support for Expo 150.

“Our culture and heritage is being showcased over the next four days,” continued Sweet.

“The vitality, enthusiasm, initiative and imagination brought to showcase the past, the present and the future of Renfrew County, indeed a journey through time, showcases a dedicated group of hundreds of volunteers who worked tirelessly over the past two years to bring us Expo 150.”

Sweet also offered thanks to business and community groups who “overwhelmingly supported this event.”

gin for the name of Renfrew County.

A fairly frequent visitor to Canada, to see family members in Richmond Hill, Ont., she admitted this week was the first time she had visited Renfrew County.

“As the provost of Renfrewshire, can I congratulate you on your 150 years. It is certainly a wonderful milestone for any community,” said Lawson.

The Scottish provost also mentioned that her county’s shipbuilding industry has largely collapsed, but has many commonalities with Renfrew County, including its hard-work ethic, farming, ice hockey and the Queen.

She also read a letter penned from the Renfrewshire representative (Guy Clark) for Her Majesty that offered to Mayor Sweet “many congratulations to you and to the local authority and to the population of Renfrew County on reaching this milestone.”

Moments later, Coun. Perrie, on behalf of the “residents of Renfrew in Scotland, may we pass on best wishes for your 150th celebrations” while noting, to laughter from the crowd, that is takes a lot longer to get about Renfrew in Ontario than it does about Renfrew in Scotland.

The ensuing ribbon-cutting with Sweet and special guests was followed by an 11musket volley by The Pioneer Gathering, and several entertainers.

They included young stepdancers Will

and Emma March and local fiddler Ben Rutz (who plays for the Johnny Reid Band and was nominated at the Canadian County Music Awards fiddler of the year in 2010).

Among others providing entertainment or historic bearings were Renfrew County stepdancing teacher Rhodina Turner and Johnny Kashub. In real life, Johnny Kashub is Dave Shulist, the Wilno-based mayor of Madawaska Valley Township and ambassador for the Kashubian culture in and outside Renfrew County.

Wearing a bright yellow jacket with the logo of the Kashubian people, Shulist translated a few Kashubian verses used by some of Renfrew’s earlier settlers, in the mid 1800s, in the company of Theresa Chapeskie. She was dressed in Kashubian period costume.

THE SKYHAWKS From the skies came other entertainers. Cloud cover was only about 2,500 feet, or as low as the SkyHawks paratroopers are permitted to jump.

But they did, with their Canadian flagmarked parachutes, descending onto the adjacent Pembroke and Area Airport.

They also provided a separate show the next day. Friday also featured the Freedom of the County massive parade of military and para-military participants.

Colourful day of history, reflection and awareness STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

The fourth annual Aboriginal Culture Day at Opeongo High School kicked off on a colourful note, with a flag dance by six local, aboriginal dancers who attend the secondary school.

Larrisa Luloff, wearing a jingle dress, led the group into the centre of the gymnasium, followed by fancy shawl dressers Kachina Sackaney, Karly Meness, Madison Whiteduck, Kyrie Kohoko and Corrina Aird.

It was a spirited start to the two-hour event, which was taking place just shortly before the celebration of 150 years of Renfrew County history at Expo 150, at the Pembroke and Area Airport.

Otherwise, the Bear Nation Drum Group, would have been performing at the culture day as well.

Nevertheless, there was plenty still to see at the culture day, including various presentations of art work by Native art students, a wide variety of deerskin gloves made by students, and historical presentations.

ARTISTS AND WRITERS EXHIBITS Two exhibits featured Native artists and writers.

Among the featured artists were Mark Emerak, Norval Morrisseau and Janet Kigusing. Among the featured writers were Drew Hayden, the author of Me Sexy, Motorcycle & Sweetgrass, and Fearless Warriors, and Basil Johnston, whose books include Don’t Call Me No Name!

“This day is just to celebrate culture, to raise awareness of aboriginal perspectives and to expose other students to the courses that are available,” said Native studies teacher Tina Neadow.

She estimated that about 65 students at Opeongo High School take Native history, literature or art classes. These include several non-aboriginal students as well as aboriginal students with Dene, Cree, Algonquin, Metis or Sioux background.

Another exhibit was entitled Overcoming Prejudice, which was written and presented by Grade 11 student Kyle

Richer. The work started out as a class assignment for his Native studies class, but proved more meaningful than that in the end, said Richer.

“I just wanted to get it done. I thought it would be small research, but I decided to put more work into it. I discovered a lot of things,” he explained.

For example, he says he was upset with some of the general public’s observations about aboriginal people, causing the nonaboriginal student to say, “Now I have more respect for Natives.”

In his overview, Richer wrote that prejudiced perspectives about Natives are usually negative, superficial views that “can do real harm.”

His presentation featured several short essays, some more information-based, some with a perspective, after entitling the essay with a myth.

The following, which was entitled, All Aboriginal Natives Are All The Same, read: There are 11 Aboriginal Natives in Quebec. They (each) have their own languages, customs, way of life and spiritual beliefs.

They are Abenakis, the Algonquins, the Atikamelw, the Crees, and many more. There are 40 First Nations communities and 15 Inuit villages located across Quebec.

Other essay topics included Aboriginal Natives Have Brown Eyes and Brown Hair, and Aboriginal Natives Are Spoiled, and There Are No More Real Natives.

So what’s all this fuss about the Renfrew County Idol at Expo 150?

An estimated 600 or 700 spectators learned what as the overflow crowd at Stage 1 was treated to head-turning performances Friday evening.

The first of two nights of Idol finals was reserved for the youth (13 and under) and teen (1418) categories, as spectators, including the media, came away shaking their heads at the wide range and high quality of the performers.

When all 15 finalists were done, Emily Helferty, 12, of Douglas and Dominic Grandmaison, 18, of Calabogie were declared victorious by the panel of Kevin Nieman, Colleen Fleming and Maureen Belland.

It seemed evident that top youth honours were up for grabs between Helferty, who sang Tomorrow, the same song she’d sung in a musical the week before, and Keelin Dowdall of Renfrew, who really connected with the crowd with her version of The Winner Takes It All. Perhaps in the running was the youngest entrant, six-year-old Kurt Zhou of Deep River, who sang a Chinese love song, Ao Bao. He did so after announcing, to the audience’s laughter, that other than singing he most loved to eat, do math and play video games.

Dowdall, the 12-year-old daughter of Jeannie Armstrong and Paul Dowdall, was wearing a black and green dress as she confidently moved about the stage. She also received huge applause from the crowd.

So did Helferty, who sang Tomorrow to the guitar accompaniment of brother Stephen and on-stage band members. In the audience were five siblings and parents Joan and L.J. “I’m really excited, I’m so excited,” said her mom. “It’s unbelievable.”

Daughter Emily, speaking calmly after her exciting win, figured she had a good chance to win because her song had a positive, uplifting, happy and age-appropriate message.

“Every single time I perform I get a little bit nervous,” she admitted. But she also carries with her the same attitude of ‘whatever happens, just do your best’.

“I think I sang pretty well,” she said, when asked to assess her performance.

“I don’t think there’s much I could have done better.”

at the barn of

She also acknowledged the great variety and quality of her competitors and hoped everyone came away concluding about all the finalists that “we have talent.”

The evening’s emcee was MPP John Yakabuski who, like many members of the crowd, expressed admiration for the quality of the performances.

The quality was awarded with quality prizes for the two winners. No runners-up or other placings were determined, as Helferty came away with an Ipod, $500 in cash, and $500 for the arts program at her St. Michael’s Catholic School.

The other contests in the youth group were Briannah Keddy of Pembroke, Jeanika Benoit of Arnprior, Burgundy Morgan of Pembroke, Cassidy Vanhoof of Killaloe and Leah Guerard of Petawawa.

Big alligator attracts a crowd STEVE NEWMAN

lutionary Alligators, travel time became exponentially faster.

The same tug boats were also shipped to locations as far away as Newfoundland and Minnesota and used well into the middle of the 20th century.

The Alligator, in the words of Lemkay, “revolutionized the river-drive operations across the near-north by combining the technology of the steam engine and the warping drum to the process of kedging of log booms across large expanses of water.”

The Alligator featured at Expo 150 is the same one that is scheduled to be part of a McNab Days flotilla in McNab-Braeside Township June 25. The same boat is expected to be curing its wooden base before being towed across the Ottawa River to be moored near Bristol, Que., as a temporary addition to a small waterfront museum run by Barb and Peter Haughton.

The W.D. Stalker Alligator came from Simcoe, in southwestern Ontario, where it was drydocked last year and refurbished in preparation for its once-in-alifetime excursion to Renfrew County, says Lemkay.

He also notes that Norfolk County was the Forest Capital of Canada for 2008 and 2009. An out-

Expo 150 had its share of critters, including hens, goats, sheep, cows and one very big alligator.

Only this alligator wasn’t part of the agricultural exhibit, but the forestry one.

A big alligator, too, with a base of nearly 40 feet.

The W.D. Stalker Alligator steam tug boat is 50 feet long, with its two decks, measures 10 feet wide, and weighs about 25 tonnes. It also attracted an estimated 2,000 visitors to its decks during Expo 150, not the least of which was the very last visitor, a Lloyd Lortie of Gatineau, Que., who split firewood for the boiler on the alligator tug boat, stationed at Cedar Lake in Algonquin Provincial Park, in the 1940s.

“He was in his glory,” says Alligator aficionado Dave Lemkay of Douglas who spent much of the Expo 150 long weekend on the Alligator.

When it was critical to get wood to mills during the 1800s, horses and men were used to advance booms of logs down quieter sections of waterways, which were the highways to market.

This alligator was a pivotal transporter in the late 1800s when the forestry system lacked a sufficient roads system to move timber. This is the only functioning steamboat alligator among nearly 300 built in Simcoe, Ont., since 1889.

Lawson and Woods are part of the volunteer-based alligator committee in Simcoe. come of this celebration was the invitation by Lemkay to bring Simcoe’s alligator tug boat up to the Ottawa Valley.

His successor is acting co-ordinator Joanne Caldwell, who was working as

customer service representative for the recreation department.

The applications for recreation director will be reviewed by Ringrose, treasurer Keray O’Reilly and Coun. Tom Anderson to determine a short list of interviewees.

It is hoped they’ll decide on the successful candidate by late June, said Ringrose.

If the successful applicant is working with another municipality, Ringrose suggested the hiring team would “spend some time” with that municipality’s CAO

and head of council to understand the nature of his or her working relationship.

It is hoped the successful applicant will be on the job for the town by early- to midJuly, said the mayor.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

What a show

Tendency to blame genetics

xpo 150 brochures handed out during the 150th-anniversary celebrations invited visitors “to be part of a Journey through Time,” while enjoying the activities, exhibits and presentations dealing with our past, present and future.

It was that, to be sure, as more than 40,000 spectators flocked to the event from near and not so near.

One visitor was Renfrewite Kate Caldwell, now living in Cobourg, who was walking about with her two children and enjoying the sites and sounds. They included the light-armoured reconnaissance vehicle (a Coyote) that her son, Kieran, was in while handling a machine gun with the help of a soldier from CFB Petawawa.

Minutes later, Bonnechere Valley Fire Department mascot Burny (aka firefighter Melissa Gogolin) is walking down a main street of Expo 150, waving and receiving the occasional hug from a youngstere.

Minutes later, another visitor who recalls watching the famed Montreal Canadiens in the Montreal Forum decades ago, gets up close to view the Hockey Hall of Fame exhibit that includes the sweater worn by famed Chicago Black Hawks goalie Glenn Hall when they won the 1961 Stanley Cup. The sweater of the best uniform in hockey looks distinctly older than the sweater displayed beside it, of prolific scorer Luc Robitaille, when he played with the Detroit Red Wings.

The sweaters were part of Renfrew County residents’ connection with notable Canadian history, just like so many, many parts of Expo 150 were – from business exhibits on solar panels, insulation and tourist destinations, to the agricultural animal exhibits, to the exhibits by municipalities, service clubs and businesses.

There was so much to see and enjoy. And many did. Thanks for the show, Expo 150 organizers.

To the editor: This letter is in resonse to Basil Pessin’s letter, Kindness Not Natural, in the May 26 Mercury For some time, I have noted a trend to blame genetics for everything from bad breath to bad behaviour. Experts notwithstanding, that’s a load of hooey.

Genetics, like other lame excuses people have been coming up with, do not explain, much less justify, unkindness.

Enthusiastic reception for Renfrewshire, Scotland visitors STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Renfrew County and Renfrew find the origin of their names in Renfrewshire, Scotland. Fittingly, the special guests from Renfrewshire, Scotland were invited to participate in a brief gathering at the Town of Renfrew’s Innovation Centre after attending last weekend’s successful Expo 150.

The 150th-anniversary celebrations included Renfrewshire Provost Celia Lawson and Renfrew Coun. Bill Perrie.

They then had the opportunity the next day (June 13) to share conversation and a toast to the Queen with a few local residents, Renfrew council members, the media and members of the Renfrew Highland Pipes and Drums.

There was some pomp and circumstance added for the occasion, namely a march-in by the Renfrew Highland Pipes and Drums, and the introduction of the gathering by national capital town crier Daniel Richer.

“Oyez, oyez,” the crier said.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, Mesdames at Messieurs, It is my

duty, but mainly my pleasure, to bring greetings as we gather on this 13th day of June, in the year of our Lord 2011, to observe the auspicious occasion of the visit of Her Worship, the Provosts of Renfrewshire, Scotland, Madame Celia Lawson and her associate, Councillor William Perrie, as well as his Worship, Robert Sweet, the Warden of the County of Renfrew, and proud son of Scotland, to the fair town of Renfrew, in the County of Renfrew, Canada.”

He also noted that Renfrew Mayor Bill Ringrose, Renfrew Reeve Audrey Green, council members “and townspeople all, do humbly but delightedly, welcome you as honoured guests to this place.”

Moreover, children are naturally kind and loving until, and unless, they are turned to hatefulness and selfishness by family upbringing or their culture or both.

Meanness may be commonplace, but, like cancer, being common does not make it normal or natural or desirable.

How we choose to behave – and make no mistake, it is a conscious choice – may be influenced by many factors, but in the end it still comes down to decisions we make.

Continued from Page 8 “I look forward to being the chair and inviting our two special guests back.”

Welcoming remarks followed from Reeve Green and Mayor Ringrose, including the mayor’s toast.

“To the people, to the peoples of the two Renfrews, to their success and their happiness,” offered Ringrose.

Afterwards, Provost Lawson told the audience Renfrewshire has come through, and survived, tough times that included the loss of the county’s thread (mill) and automobile industries.

Following the recent recession, Renfrewshire has, she said, also turned its focus to successfully meeting the needs

of youth, seniors and those with learning difficulties.

As much as Google is a wonderful search engine, Lawson said it can’t give a sense of what the local residents are like.

But she says she found out soon enough.

“The people,” she said, “have really made the last six or seven days in the County of Renfrew very, very special for us.”

After signing a proclamation to mark the occasion, the Scottish guests headed to their last social event during their Renfrew County visit − a Monday afternoon barbecue in Horton Township.

One copy of the proclamation will return to Scotland, while the other two will likely hang in the town hall and the Innovation Centre.

A different kind of alligator Continued from Page 5 Along with the Alligator came a core group of volunteers from Simcoe, where the alligators were built from 1889 until the 1930s.

Those same volunteers were among those who in 1997 salvaged a derelict alligator from Atikokan and rebuilt it to be the W.D. Stalker.

Don Lawson, another member of Simcoe’s alligator committee, says it’s wonderful to watch the passion of his fellow committee members.

Dave Woods, the tugboat’s steam engineer, said he’s involved to help preserve history.

The history is also preserved after Lemkay convinced author Harry Barrett to take on a bevy of historical information on the Alligator that had been collected by noted forester Clarence Coons. Coons died in 2006, but

Barrett went on to co-author the book, Alligators of the North, with Coons.

The history chronicles the work

by West and Peachy Company, which built about 280 alligators.

The Alligator will have other steam boat company during the June 25 flotilla from Norway Bay to Braeside.

The parade participants will include steamboats owned by Dr. Bill Burwell of Renfrew and Bruno Martens of Pembroke; riverdriver sweep boats owned by Logs End; a camboose scow (a riverdriver bunkhouse and kitchen) owned by the Haughtons but formerly belonging to ICO’s Chenaux Boom; a Pembroke pointer boat; as well as vessels from Burnstown Rowing Club and several pleasure craft.

At its home in Simcoe, the Alligator makes periodic, short trips on the Lynn River each year, but the trip

down the Ottawa River will be its first in its refitted lifetime.

Another notable visitor to the Alligator during Expo 150 was former Horton Township reeve Bud Doering. As a summer student in 1946, he worked on the William M. Alligator, which is displayed at the Pioneer Loggers Museum in Algonquin Park.

That was also the tug boat’s last season of duty, on Cedar Lake, at the north end of the park.

The last functioning alligators worked on Quebec’s Saguenay River in the 1960s, but many weren’t used past the late 1940s in Ontario.

Most alligators were replaced in the 1950s by steel-hulled, diesel Russell tugboats manufactured in Owen Sound, Ont. By the early 1990s, riverdriving of logs in Ontario had ceased.

Of that amount, $1,540 was raised by the Renfrew County HOG Chapter and the balance was donated by its sponsoring dealer, Pete’s Sales & Service. The bikers were blessed with great weather which contributed to a large turnout. “Benson Autoparts put on a terrific barbecue for all the participants at the conclusion of the ride at the Petawawa Legion,” reported Renfrew County HOG public relations officer Mary Ethier.

Juniors enjoy Seniors Month, too Renfrew Victoria Hospital was the meeting place for the Junior-Senior Games Day June 8. Seniors from Bonnechere Manor, Groves Park Lodge, Quail Creek and the Hospital, along with the juniors of the Grade 3 classes from Our Lady of Fatima School celebrated Seniors Month in style.

Eight teams were made up of a mixture of both ages to play games of table top shuffleboard, ring toss, beach volleyball, and clothes pin toss.

The result was much cheering and encouragement of teammates, many smiles,

much laughter and feelings of mutual respect.

The intergenerational program was a huge success.

The winners of the games were Team 5 and 6 with a tie. Team 5 members were: Margaret Hicks, Phyllis O’Rourke, Rita Wallace, Crawford Leavoy, Nick Pierce, Grace Froats and Megan Winters.

Making up Team 6 were Margaret Bullock, Garnet Walbeck, Amelia Rafter, Devon Vaughan, Jonathon Wright, Abby Legault and Jade St. Michael-Knapp.

Town gets gas tax rebate STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

The Town of Renfrew is receiving a provincial gas tax rebate of $178,170 this year.

That’s down slightly from $180,703 in 2010. The rebates are provided this year to 93 municipalities (representing 120 municipalities) for a total of $318 million.

Starting in 2004, the Province of Ontario provided one cent per litre of gas tax revenue to Ontario municipalities.

That was increased to 1.5 cents per litre in October 2005, and to 2.0 cents per litre since October 2006.

The money goes to municipalities with mass transit systems. In the case of Renfrew and area, this is considered to be the Sunshine Coach transportation system for the disabled and others in need.

Sunshine Coach provides the service for Renfrew and the municipalities of Admaston-Bromley, Bonnechere Valley, Whitewater Region, Horton and Greater Madawaska.

Sunshine Coach is reimbursed, from the gas tax allocation, for eligible expenses throughout the year.

Renfrew captures Special Olympics silver PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

Rugged tackling and quickness led the Upper Ottawa Valley Lumberjacks to a 63-15 win over the Brockville Privateers June 4 at Ma-Te-Way Park. Mercury photos by John Carter

Valley rugby teams dominate JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

The Upper Ottawa Valley Lumberjacks won two rugby games in Renfrew Saturday (June 4) in impressive fashion.

The Lumberjacks trounced second division Ottawa Wolves 94-5 and the first division Brockville Privateers 63-15.

Coach Sean Hackett said the Petawawa-based club plans on playing at least one game a year at Renfrew’s Ma-Te-Way Park.

Hackett, a paramedic who lives in Renfrew, said while most of the team’s players come from the Pembroke-Petawawa area, with many from the military, the rugby club would like to have more members from the south end of the county. To that end, he would like to see more rugby played in local high schools.

There is a move afoot to shift the UOV high school rugby season from the fall to the spring, so

The two golfers require sponsorship to help make their day a success.

Their goal is to raise $5,000 for Hospice Renfrew and to play more than 256 holes.

Graveline and Brown played that many in a Longest Day of Golf in 2009.

The Renfrew Millionaires are 2011 Special Olympics Provincial floor hockey championship silver medallists.

The Renfrew squad pieced together three wins at Cambrian College in Sudbury over the weekend.

Their only loss came to Newmarket by a 5-2 count in the Flyers Division (C level) final.

“I thought the seeding was incredibly fair,” Millionaires coach Frank Belanger said. “All were close games.”

The Millionaires defeated Milton twice, 4-1 and 8-4, and then won a 5-4 barnburner over Simcoe to earn their ticket to the final.

“It was a thriller. The game was tied three times. Then we were down 4-3. Kevin Reid tied it up and then Mark Humphries scored with 18 seconds remaining,” Belanger said.

“Eldon Behm looked like

Tim Thomas,” the coach added of the acrobatics of his team’s goaltender.

“I was very pleased,” he added of the play of the entire team.

Belanger said Mark LaChambre “played really well,” as did Raymond Goodyear of the Millionaires.

Belanger pointed out that guests at the tournament included Sudbury native and former National Hockey Leaguer Ron Duguay and San Jose Sharks centre Andrew Desjardins.

David Branch, Canadian Hockey League president and commissioner of the Ontario Hockey League, was the event’s honorary chairman.

Fresh off their silver medalfloor hockey performance, the Renfrew athletes will be back in the playing field again this weekend.

Their Special Olympics softball tournament is this Saturday at the McNab ball diamonds.

The action gets underway at 9 a.m. and runs all day.

LONGSHOTS WIN WEEK 5 Placing money on the Longshots would have been a good move in the Dragonfly Golf Links Industrial League last Tuesday evening, June 7.

The Longshots came through to win Week 5 of the 2011 season.

Ray’s Flowers was second and MacDonald Glass third.

Butch Brown and Tyson Utronki were closest-to-the-pin winners.

It should have read that Amanda Vance was first among local runners to cross the finish line, and Mackenzie Leclaire second. The Mercury apologizes for the error.

Fourth win is all that matters You can call it the most lopsided Stanley Cup final to go seven games.

The Canucks have three onegoal wins at home, outscoring the Bruins 5-2 in the process.

Yet, in Boston, the Bruins hold a decisive 17-3 edge in their three victories.

Game 7 was played last night in Vancouver.

By now, you know where Stanley has taken up residence for the next year.

This series has taken on an image of the 1960 World Series.

The heavily-favoured New York Yankees won Games 2, 3 and 5 by scores of 16-3, 10-0 and 12-0.

But the Pittsburgh Pirates won the other four games 6-4, 3-2, 5-2 and 10-9.

Game 7 was decided on Bill

None down, many to go: I’ve had people that wouldn’t pick up a basketball if it slipped from a kid’s hands and rolled up to them mention to me how badly they wanted to see the Miami Heat lose to the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA final.

Gallant congratulates Lumber Kings Renfrew-NipissingPembroke Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant opened the first Question Period of the 41st Parliament of Canada with a statement congratulating the Pembroke Lumber Kings on their historic 2011 RBC Cup victory.

“Mr. Speaker, it is my distinct pleasure to recognize the Pembroke Lumber Kings as this year’s national Junior A hockey champion,” Gallant said June 6.

“Known as Hockeytown Canada, Pembroke has a rich tradition of hockey excellence. This is the first national title for Pembroke.

“The Pembroke Lumber Kings earned the right to play for the RBC Cup, which is presented to the national Junior A champions, by first winning the Central Canada Hockey League championship, then the Fred

Page Cup to advance to the RBC Cup as the eastern Canadian representative.

“The Ottawa Valley is well known for its sporting traditions and contributions to the history of hockey.

By defeating the twotime defending champion Vernon Vipers in thrilling fashion, they rewarded their loyal fans and added a new chapter to the hockey lore of the Ottawa Valley.

“I commend the Lumber Kings’ players and coaches for their outstanding performances. I also recognize the Vernon Vipers for their valiant title defence. Their defence of the RBC Cup demonstrated the passion, skill and competitive spirit that make hockey the world’s most dynamic and thrilling sport.

“Well done Lumber Kings!”

Yves Proulx of Shamrock guides Dick and Abbie to fourth place in the light division of the heavy horse class. Mercury photos by John Carter

Greer, Gabie, McIntyre shine at 30th DACA horse pull Several hundred spectators looked on as Glen Greer of North Gower guided his Belgians, Jim and Flash, to first place in the most prestigious class of the 30th annual DACA horse pull.

“It was a great day.

There was a large crowd of horses and spectators,” said Bonnie Nolan, who along with other members of her family organized the Sunday, June 5 event.

The Dacre and Area Community Association event featured five classes, including the heavy horses’ ladies and light divisions, and the heavy and light ponies.

Greer’s winning weight in the heavy horse class was 10,600 pounds on his ninth pull, after warming up with lower poundages of 5,000, 6,000, 7,000 and 8,000, and advancing with additional pulls over 8,600, 9,200, 9,800 and 10,200 pounds. He pulled 10,600 pounds for the victory.

So did Brent Gabie of Kazabazua, but at a lesser distance with Belgians Dan and Jim to take second place. Gabie was also third, with another pair of Belgians, Duke and Pete.

Top Renfrew-area competitor was seventh-place George Griffith of Eganville with horses Dick and Dan. In the ladies’ heavyhorse division, Anna McIntyre of Shamrock pulled 4,000 pounds with her Percheron, Tom, to capture top prize.

Kathy O’Brien of Eganville and her Belgian, Eddie, took second place.

Krissy O’Brien, also of

Eganville, and her Belgian, Pat, were third in the field of six.

In the light division for heavy horses, Brent Gabie of Kazabazua and his Belgians, Frankie and Doc, pulled 8,800 pounds the winning distance.

The second- and thirdplace finishers also pulled 8,800 pounds. Second went to Yves Robert of Masham as son Johnathan drove his Percherons, Tom and Charlie. Third place went to Shawn Mack of Napanee with Belgians Jed and Jack.

The top local, Yves Proulx of Shamrock drove Dick and Abbie. They pulled 8,000 pounds, then managed two feet seven inches with 8,800 pounds.

In the heavy ponies class, first place went to Kerry Mackie of Fort Stewart with horses Barb and Judy. They pulled 6,000 pounds a distance of 12 feet, seven inches.

Pat Langevin of Tweed drove Blaze and Charlie 10 feet, three inches at the same weight to finish second. Peter Nicolson of Marmora was third with Jenny and Jake.

In the light ponies class, Kenny Uens of Thomasburg drove Lady and another Lady to first with the longest pull at 4,000 pounds. Glen Parks of Bancroft was second with Doll and Ginger, while Blaine Way of Milford drove Bright and Franky to third.

Beachburg’s Nathan Blok, drove his No. 5 Van Dieman F-1600 to twin podium finishes before record crowds at the Grand Prix du Canada held last weekend on the famed Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

Blok’s weekend began with a stellar qualifying session on Friday when he claimed the pole position with a time 1.638 seconds quicker than second place, breaking the F1600 track record.

Saturday’s race saw Blok keep his focus even when hit from behind on the first corner. For most of the race Blok led the

field of 44 cars and battled with Olivier Bonnet, trading positions with him 11 times. On the very last lap Blok was just 0.8 seconds behind Bonnet.

“I enjoyed the battle with the top five cars,” said Blok. “It was so close all race, and the drag race to the end was super intense. Olivier (Bonnet) is a very fast, clean driver and it was great to duke it out with him.”

Sunday’s starting grid saw Blok on the outside of the front row and he made a brilliant start to race 2, gaining the lead position from Xavier Copal at the start. Blok pulled away from the pack with Bonnet and veteran driver

Didier Schraenen in close pursuit.

Blok remained in second until the final laps when several passes were made by the top four drivers. Nathan crossed the finish line in third but was awarded second place honours when Bonnet was penalized for passing under caution on the final lap.

“Despite it being my first race in cars under a completely wet track for the full race, I am incredibly pleased with second place. It was an awesome learning experience and I will take it with me into the next race,” Blok said.

“This was my most memorable race weekend so far in my career.”

Blok wheels to second place

Agriculture

June is dairy month but you wouldn’t know it June is dairy month across North America but you won’t know it unless you live in the United States.

You have to wonder why Dairy Farmers of Canada and Dairy Farmers of Ontario (DFO) do not promote dairy month. I haven’t seen one promotion from them. It probably went out with the dairy princess competitions!

I checked the DFO press releases for April, May and June. There is no mention of dairy month.

Google “June is dairy month” and up comes all kinds of promotions from the U.S., particularly from Wisconsin and California. My wife was watching a television program the other day and told me she saw a commercial for “real California milk.” It showed a web site realcaliforniamilk.com that I checked out.

It’s excellent. Lots of interesting facts such as 99 per cent of California dairy farms are family owned. You can watch short videos and meet California dairy farmers, dairy families, happy cows and dairy princesses – all

MAYNARD VAN DER GALIEN RURAL ROUTES 16 princesses from across California.

You can also just look at photos of dairy folks, dairy families, dairy operations, the happy cows, women and children feeding calves and so on. There are bargains for consumers, such as coupons saving 50-cents off the price of a gallon of milk. Milk is much cheaper in the U.S. – as low as $2.50 a gallon in California.

From across California’s dairy districts, 16 young women have been selected for a dairy princess one-year reign. Each princess is listed with a photo and a short biography. Read through the bios and you’ll see that the young women actually work on the farms and attend high school or will attend college or university. They aren’t stick-thin and depressed looking models, but healthy, happy girls that love the outdoors.

In Ontario’s dairy land it’s a much different story. There are no dairy princess competitions and no dairy princesses. That was ended almost 20 years ago.

Paid dairy educators have replaced the young women. Dairy educators go to schools and do a talk on milk and milk products and show a 45-minute video. A dairy educator usually covers a large area – usually a few counties.

Now here’s a question to think about.

How many Renfrew County or Ontario dairy princesses can you name from years gone by? A few, right? Can you name any dairy educators? Exactly!

The media loves princess competitions – even agriculture-related ones.

The smiling young faces give it a touch of royalty. The public enjoys that so it’s good public relations. But most of all it’s excellent free promotion for the dairy industry.

California is the No. 1 dairy state in the U.S. They know what works for them. Obviously, keeping the dairy princesses is one of them!

Stats support need for Risk Management Program

BY MARK WALES VP, Ontario Federation of Agriculture

This year’s wet spring weather is sure to make 2011 one of the most important years for farmers to invest in risk management strategies.

Weather is just one of many risk factors affecting the profitability and success of farm businesses, and the recent release of Statistics Canada’s 2010 net farm income numbers reinforces the constant instability and risk that farmers face most years.

Accurately predicting the 2010 Ontario net farm income numbers proved to be a real challenge for the federal government. In 2010, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada forecast the Ontario net farm income to be a loss of $500 million, only to revise it in February 2011 to $816 million in the black.

The most recent figure released by Statistics Canada in late May lowered the 2010 Ontario net farm income figure to $628 million in the black. Reporting on-farm income clearly carries the same challenges and volatility as farming itself.

To help stabilize farm income and minimize the effect of volatility and price fluctuations, Ontario’s agricultural industry has collaborated on the development of the Risk Management Program.

The livestock and grains and oilseeds Risk Management Program will give farmers an opportunity to buy insurance coverage against market prices falling below a specific support level based on production costs.

The horticultural Risk Manage-

ment Program will be a new self-directed risk management program that both producers and government contribute to, creating a fund available to growers to manage financial risks. The Risk Management Program promises to be an effective tool for Ontario farmers to reduce farm market price volatility, while crop insurance continues to provide necessary yield risk reduction.

In 2009 the Ontario Federation of Agriculture partnered with other Ontario farm organizations to request a common risk management program to reduce commodity market price risks and stabilize on-farm income.

The original Risk Management Program requested the federal and provincial governments shoulder part of the farm market price risk for enrolled farmers.

A successful pilot project was launched four years ago for the grains and oilseeds commodities leading to a new permanent Risk Management Program that will be available to grains and oilseeds, beef, pork, sheep, veal and edible horticultural commodities in 2011.

While the federal government has yet to commit to the Risk Management Program proposal, the provincial government has accepted the proposal. The Ontario budget for the 2011-2012 fiscal year noted “volatile markets for commodities can make it difficult for farmers to manage business risks.” The Ontario government’s acceptance and commitment to underwriting farm market price risk is a huge accomplishment for Ontario agriculture and signals recogni-

tion of the value to all Ontarians of a viable agricultural industry.

The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs is working with commodity organizations to confirm specifics of the Risk Management Program plans. And OFA

is expecting producer application forms for enrolment to be available this fall.

Through the Risk Management Program, Ontario’s agricultural industry has designed a program to assist the unpredictable nature of commodity

AMENDMENT to the NOTICE of COMMENCEMENT (Issued July 2009) and NOTICE OF A PUBLIC INFORMATION SESSION Renfrew Power Generation Inc. Redevelopment of the Existing Hydroelectric Generating Facilities in Renfrew Ontario on Bonnechere River to be known as the Thomas Low Generating Station

“This cadet will display excellent leadership qualities and dedication. The recipient tonight displays all of the qualities we look for, between great attendance, and participating in a variety of cadet events such as camps, fundraisers, courses, workshops and public duties.

“This cadet is a great role model, friendly to everyone and always willing to help, no questions asked,” Daniels added, before presenting the award to Valliquette.

The Outstanding Leadership Award went to Kennedee Smith.

“This recipient is also a great role model. Between taking on responsibilities

and showing great initiative, this cadet also tries to make the surrounding environment positive and helps us all focus on our goals,” Daniels said.

Smith was a double winner as she also received the award for best attendance.

It didn’t matter what the situation, weather or otherwise, Smith was always there, Daniels said.

Duncan Mclntyre was the recipient of the Most Improved Cadet honour. McIntyre was somewhat shy and quiet when the year began.

By the end, he was more outgoing and made his presence felt.

For several years, Renfrew Power Generation (RPG) has been exploring options for the expanding the hydroelectric generating potential on the Bonnechere River in Renfrew. These options included a 1.5 MW project at “First Chute,” a 4 MW project at “Clear Point,” and the redevelopment of the existing Upper and Lower Plants to essentially double their combined generating capacity. The possibilities for developing these options have been greatly influenced by the evolving renewable energy contracting and grid connection policies in Ontario over the past few years, including the RESOP program, to the FIT Program, and the Hydro Contracts Initiative.

After careful examination of all options, RPG has determined that the most viable project is the development of a new plant following the concept of the Clear Point Project (presented during June 2009 public information sessions in Renfrew, and advertised in a July 2009 Notice of Commencement) but with the new powerhouse shifting approximately 200m upstream, adjacent to the existing Lower Plant. The new generating station will have a capacity of 4 MW. RPG has tentatively named the development the “Thomas Low Generating Station” (GS) for the original builder of the Lower Plant. As was the case for the previously proposed Clear Point project, the intake of the proposed new Thomas Low GS is to be located just upstream of RPG’s Upper Plant.

This project will enable RPG to align itself with the provincial initiative to replace electricity sourced from fossil fuels with that produced from renewable sources while providing additional power to the Town of Renfrew. OELHydroSys Inc. has been working with RPG to complete an environmental assessment of the project under Ontario’s Class Environmental Assessment for Waterpower Projects (2011) as a Project Associated with Existing Infrastructure.

The proposed project is also subject to a Screening under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. A Public Information Session outlining the Thomas Low GS project will be held on: Tuesday, June 21, 2011 From 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at The Mateway Activity Centre, 1 Mateway Dr., Renfrew, Ontario.

Members of RPG and the EA project team will be on hand to answer any questions. If you have any concerns or questions regarding the proposal to site the new generating station adjacent to the Lower Plant, we request that you join us.

Alternatively you may contact Mr. Peter Boldt, Renfrew Power Generation Inc., 32 Bridge Avenue West, Renfrew, Ontario, K7V 3R2, (613) 433-3715; pkboldt@renfrewpg.ca or Ms. Karen Fortin, EA Coordinator, OEL HydroSys Inc., kfortin@oel-hydrosys.ca, Box 430, Carp Road, Ottawa, K0A 1L0, 613-839-3053 x 261.

Subsequent Notices, including the Notice of Completion will be provided directly to those parties who express an interest in this project.

Under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and the Environmental Assessment Act, unless otherwise stated in the submission, any personal information such as name, address, telephone number and property location included in a submission will become part of the public record files for this matter and will be released, if requested, to any person.

Over the past 10 months St. John Ambulance has had a lot going on.

The cadets have been learning, practising and working on perfecting many first aid skills.

“We have also been learning a lot of other valuable skills. We have learned team work, patience (not the injured kind), friendships, working towards goals and perseverance,” cadet leader Jen Daniels said to the cadets. “All your hard work has paid off.”

At St. John Ambulance’s headquarters on O’Brien Road June 8, awards and mementoes were presented in recognition of the cadets’ hard work in 2010-11, Daniels added. Prominent awards handed out were the Superintendent Award, Outstanding Leadership, Best Attendance and Most Improved.

Hailey Valliquette was honoured with the prestigious Superintendent Award.

“This award recognizes an all-around fantastic cadet,” Daniels noted.

Choice

RVH session focuses on ethics In life-threatening situations, Renfrew Victoria Hospital staff members face critical choices.

Not only must they consider their own professional choice, but they must consider the choice of their patient and the patient’s family.

Sometimes conflicts arise.

To address these issues and the ethics surrounding them, a public education session was held at RVH on April 29. More than 50 hospital staff and members of the public attended the lunch session, which was called Personal Care Preferences and Their Meaning: What is Your Plan?

Dr. Carolyn Ells, an associate professor of medicine and member of the Biomedical Ethics Unit at McGill University in Montreal, talked about the ethics involved in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and do not resuscitate (DNR) decisions.

Ells, who is also an associate researcher at the Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research at the Montreal Jewish General Hospital, addressed questions such as the meaning of CPR and DNR; the ethical component in making these choices; necessary conversations between the medical team, the patient and family; and goals of care.

Ells also provided an afternoon session for hospital staff in which she discussed a case study of a patient moving through the hospital from the emergency ward to admission and discharge.

She discussed a patient’s code status (the directive a patient gives regarding resuscitation care), goals of care and communication needs.

Ann Marie Urbaitis, palliative care co-ordinator at RVH, said “DNR, CPR and a patient’s code status are sensitive topics and mean different things to different people. Communication of a patient’s care goals and plan regarding responses to cardiopulmonary arrest and acute life-threatening events is an important issue in health care. The stated wishes of a patient can assist health care professionals to provide respectful, patient-centred, team approaches to health care.”

Chris Ferguson, vice-president of patient services, said that Ells’ discussion “provided valuable information in ethics not only to staff, but to the public as well. By opening this session to the public, RVH is providing opportunities to inform and educate our community partners about these very sensitive issues. DNR is a sensitive topic and we need to continually clarify and educate our staff and patients about it.”

The April 29 education session was sponsored by the RVH ethics committee.

The committee was first established in 1992 and evolved to become an official board committee a decade later.

The ethics committee acts as a resource for staff, patients and patients’ families when dealing

with difficult situations.

Its main goal is to set core values that apply across the board.

The committee consists of two representatives from the hospital’s board of directors, two doctors, community member Don Goulet (who was part of the original committee), a local lawyer, a representative from the dialysis unit, a representative from the auxiliary and two members of the clergy.

Retired minister Dr. George Hermanson, chair of the committee, has an advanced degree in ethics.

“To think ethically is more than using common sense,” he says of the committee’s role in assisting the health

Cont’d from Page 8

care team. He points out that situations can quickly become complicated when the patient’s wishes or the family’s choices differ from common practice.

Hermanson says that’s why it is so important that the hospital has input from various community perspectives; the doctors and staff have an opportunity to present their medical expertise, lawyers can explain the legalities of a given situation, and Hermanson and the other community representatives are there to provide ethical insights.

Besides helping in decision-making processes, the committee provides educational sessions for staff and the community at large.

The Township of Whitewater Region wishes to announce that your Residential & Commercial Recycling Collection Schedule and Collection will transition back to its original format prior to April, 4th, 2011.

Changes that recently took place to your collection schedule as a result of the Tender Process and resulting Contractual Agreement, will cease as of Thursday, June 30th, 2011. The week of July 4th – 8th, 2011, please resort back to your former bi-weekly pick-up day, beginning with Monday collection of the former Village of Cobden and Village of Beachburg as well as the Friday collection of the former Township of Ross. The following week (July 11th – 15th ) will reinstate the Thursday & Friday collection of the former Township of Westmeath. Please be sure to place all recyclable materials (both paper recyclables as well as container recyclables) out at curb-side as practiced prior to April 4th, 2011. Don’t forget to bundle your cardboard!

We have custom blinds and shutters in hundreds of types and styles. Stop by our showroom and take a peek today.

Whether those decisions are based in a beautiful spirit, or in an ugly one, makes the difference betweeen a person that people like to be with, and a person that people would like to see in an early grave. Many have tried to make the words unfashionable, but the truth must be stated: It comes down to a choice

between good and evil.

I have the courage to choose the side of Lights. You, Basil, have made your choice clear.

You play for the other team.

A former principal of St. Joseph’s High School in Renfrew has been chosen as the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board’s new superintendent of educational services, effective Sept. 1.

Because of expanded responsibilities for the superintendent’s position, he becomes the board’s second superintendent. Already on staff is superintendent Jaimie Perry of Renfrew.

“He has been involved in the Student Re-engagement Initiative, the RCCDSB Enrolment and Retention Strategy, and the RCCDSB Leadership Development Strategy. He has proven himself, in all of these tasks - as well as in his roles as teacher and principal over the years - to be a powerful leader and committed servant to the Catholic education system.” After graduating from high school in Pembroke in 1975, Adam went on to earn his Bachelor of Arts degree at Carleton University, and his Bachelor and Master of Education degrees at the University of Ottawa.

Salvictorian and valedictorian elected As the end of the school year comes closer, things are really starting to wrap up as everyone prepares for summer holidays.

On Wednesday, June 8, St. Joseph’s Catholic High School held its annual Celebration of Achievements Awards Banquette in the gymnasium.

This banquet was an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of those who have excelled in sports, clubs, or other activities over the past school year.

The evening consisted of sports awards, including Most Improved, Sportsmanlike and Most Valuable Player.

Those in attendance were also entertained by students including, Four Strong Winds and the new octet, both performing under the direction of Mr. Kevin McSheffrey.

The SJHS Blues Guys also performed.

The awards banquet went well and it was a great way to conclude sports activities for this school-year.

Congratulations to those who received awards, and especially the graduating students!

Also, on Tuesday, June 7, St. Joseph’s Catholic High School came to-

VICTORIA SLIGHT JAGUAR JOURNAL gether with Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School to hold a year-end mass at Our Lady of Fatima Church.

The mass celebrant was Father Brady McNamara, or Father Mac, as he is known by the students.

Some students assisted by participating in the choir and several others altar served.

Overall, it was a great way to celebrate the end of the 2010/2011 school year!

On Tuesday, June 7, the graduates held an election for salvictorian and valedictorian.

Mary Were will be the salvictorian, and Collin Carnegie will be the valedictorian.

Congratulations to Mary and Collin!

This is just another reminder that our graduation will be held on Wednesday, June 29 at 7 p.m. in the gymnasium.

The evening will begin with the celebration of mass followed by the presentation of diplomas, bursaries and scholarships.

Good luck to all.

NOTICE TO RESIDENTS AND PROPERTY OWNERS REGARDING NOXIOUS WEEDS The main purpose of the Weed Control Act R.S.O. 1990 is to reduce the impact of noxious weeds on the industries of agriculture and horticulture. This Act excludes lawns, gardens and private areas for personal enjoyment and leisure.

Under the Weed Control Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter W.5, Sections 3, 13, 16 and 23, you are requested to destroy all noxious weeds on your property by July 1, 2011 and throughout the season. Sections 3, 13, 16 and 23 do not apply to noxious weeds that are far enough away from any land used for agricultural or horticultural purposes, as they do not interfere with that use.

After July 1, 2011, the County of Renfrew Weed Inspector may enter upon the said lands and may cause any noxious weeds discovered to be destroyed, charging the cost against the land, as set out in the Act.

1. Change to Fluorescent Bulbs - If every house in Canada changed all of the light bulbs in their house, that would be equivalent to taking one million cars off the streets.

2. Don’t Rinse - Skip rinsing your plates before putting them into the dishwasher. In average you will save 15 gallons of water per load. Plus, you will save time.

3. Hang Outside to Dry - Get a clothes line or rack to dry your clothes. Your clothes will last longer and you will save money 4. Turn off computers at night - don’t just put them to sleep. You will save an average of 4 cents a day which ads up to $14.60 a year.

5. Use Both Sides of Paper - if you have a printer with a double sided print option use it. You will save half of the amount of paper you would have normally used.

Then when you’re done bring it to the recycle bin.

6. Get rid of baths - Don’t take baths, take showers. You will in average save about half the amount of water that you would if you were taking a bath.

7. Don’t get bottled water - Instead of bottled water get a reusable container to carry water. Also you can get a filter to make your home tap taste more like bottled water. It is definitely more cost efficient.

8. Turn the water off when you brush - Your parents have said this before. You will save 4 gallons of water doing this alone.

9. Shorten your shower - Every minute you cut from your shower is roughly 5 gallons of water.

The less time your shower takes, the lower your impact on the environment.

10. Recycle Glass - If you do not recycle this, it will take a million years to decompose.

11. Don’t Pre-Heat the Oven - unless needed, just turn the oven on after you put the dish in it. Also, to see if it’s finished just look through the glass instead of opening it.

12. Use Warm or Cold Setting on Washer - instead of the hot cycle use the warm or cold setting.

This will save a lot of energy a year.

13. Turn Down your Thermostat - Every degree lower in the winter or higher in the summer you put it is a 10% decrease on your energy bill.

14. Turn off your lights - An easy one. Turn off your lights when you are not using them. The benefits are obvious.

15. Get rid of junk mail - There are many services that can help you get rid of junk mail. That will lead to a lot less trees being cut down to take up room in your mailbox.

16. Use Matches instead of lighters - Lighters are usually considered disposable so they will most likely end up in land fills. You can use the cardboard matches which are much more eco-friendly because they are made of recycled material.

17. Don’t get a paper phone book - Instead of getting a paper phone book. Use a online directory instead.

18. Give things away - Take things that you are not going to wear or use and give it to a charity or someone who will use it.

19. Go to a car wash - Going to a car wash is a lot more water efficient then washing your car at home.

20. Stop paper bank statements - Why waste paper getting your bank statement mailed to you when you can just check it out online.

21. Buy Rechargeable Batteries - Even though it will take a good investment to buy these you will find yourself gaining it back in no time.

22. Pay your Bills Online - If every house in Canada did this then we would save 18 million trees every year.

23. Get a reusable bag - You can’t recycle plastic bags, instead get yourself a reusable bag so that you won’t have to worry about carrying your necessities.

24. Do Errands in Bulk - Make a list of the things you have to do, and see if you can fit a couple of those things together in one ride.

25. Inflate your Tires - If your tires are inflated at all times your car will run more miles on less gas.

26. Wrap Presents Creatively - Without going out to get wrapping paper you can use newspaper, an old map, or anything else. It would look a whole lot more creative.

27. Plant a Tree - It’s good for the air, can keep you cool, and can increase your property value.

28. Buy Local Produce - Consider how much energy it takes for produce from china or any other country to come here. If you have the option to buy local, do it.

29. Walk or Ride Your Bike When you can - If you have to go somewhere close consider riding your bike or walking there instead of your car. It’s better on the environment and healthier.

A portion of all proceeds donated to the Food Bank.

‘Focus on Your Magnificence’ at O’Brien Theatre June 24 A special presentation documenting the unique and special journey of Renfrew’s Marcus Magdalena takes place Friday, June 24 at Renfrew’s O’Brien Theatre.

Focus On Your Magnificence gets underway at 2 p.m. Admission is $10.

“This is a unique and touching presentation,” Magdalena said.

“My presentation will involve my journeys of being a straight woman, a lesbian, a transgendered individual, a trans man, a gay man, a straight man, living with addictions, depression, poverty, homelessness, transphobia, homophobia and what valuable life experience I have gained from those journeys.

“After having gone through all of that, I came out of it still committed to the knowing that claiming one’s own personal magnificence is what will bring about lasting change.”

His 45-minute presentation allows the audience to discover how Magdalena made it through and how these lessons might apply to others’ well-being.

The event also includes presentations by Fran Watson and Lynne Kobus.

Watson will have a 15minute speech on making choices.

Kobus will have a 10minute synopsis on a poem she wrote.

“It’s a very spiritual poem on walking into

Lynne Zander will emcee the Friday evening event.

Algonquin College receives $300,000 in new funding Algonquin College is applauding the government of Canada for its support of several research projects at the college, including a $104,000 investment that will equip its Ottawa Valley Campus in Pembroke with a mobile science unit. In all, the college has received $334,515 to pur-

chase equipment that will support five key areas in the college’s efforts to expand its applied research.

Algonquin College’s director of applied research and Innovation, Dr. Mark Hoddenbagh, says “This type of funding demonstrates that the Government of

Canada recognizes the important role colleges play in the national research agenda. We would like to thank the government for its continued investment in applied research at colleges across the country, and at Algonquin’s urban and rural campuses.”

Students and faculty in the Forestry Technician program at Algonquin College in the Ottawa Valley will be primary beneficiaries of the new mobile science unit. The college also plans to expand its use into other programs, including its Outdoor Adventure Naturalist program.

Office: Offi ce: 613-623-3665 O P E N H O U S E S U N D AY J U N E 1 9 LIS NEW Brian Proulx, right, of the Renfrew Third Degree Knights presents Larry Hebert, brother of Sister Barb Hebert, $500 for humanitarian efforts.

Knights, CWL boost humanitarian efforts SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@ metroland.com

When Sister Barb Hebert returns to Peru she’ll be bringing a gift from the Ottawa Valley.

Originally of Renfrew, Sister Barb of the Sisters of Holy Cross has been in the impoverished country for seven years “In Peru, a third of the population lives in poverty,” says Hebert. “In any given week people come to our door asking for food or sometimes for clothes.”

The Sisters’ focus is mainly on women and children and Hebert’s current project is a sewing program to help women become self-sufficient.

“You know the saying ‘teach a man to fish’ so we’re saying give a woman a skill

so she can have dignity and the ability to feed and care for her children,” says Hebert.

The program is running well and contracts are being set up for the women to sew school and work uniforms.

When Hebert put the word out that some seed money was required for the program, the donations started rolling in. Here on a recent visit, she met with Knights of Columbus and Catholic Women’s League representatives to accept cheques.

Suzanne Mullins presented $500 on behalf of the Catholic Women’s League and Blaine Mullins had a $500 donation from the fourth degree Renfrew/Arnprior Knights of Columbus. Then, Renfrew’s third degree Knights gave $500.

“Their generosity is overwhelming,” says Hebert.

About $3,000 is needed so they’re well on their way, says Hebert.

Hebert has been in Peru for seven years, while the Sisters of the Holy Cross have had a presence in the country for 20 years.

Nature

One heck of a nest site Angela McAdam was watering the flowers in one of her hanging baskets when she was greeted by a female robin vacating her nest.

This is an unusual event and can be startling when it is unexpected. At the time there were three eggs in the nest.

Angela was wondering if watering the plants would disturb the incubating female. In most situations like this one, the adult bird will leave the nest, but if you are careful not to pour water the eggs and later the young, all will be well. They seldom if ever abandon the nest.

WHIP-POOR-WILLS

Barb and Bill Carrier had a male house wren filling their bird boxes with sticks in an attempt to attract a mate. When the female arrived and inspected the nests she was not satisfied with the male’s choices and left.

The pair has not been seen since.

Very often the female will choose her mate by the number of nests he has been able to build.

WOODCOCK Jack Clark and Andy Humphries saw an American woodcock, sometimes called timberdoodle, walking on the road in what seemed to be a trance.

The bird did not move and was oblivious of their approaching vehicle.

This behaviour is associated with a territorial display in which males warn other males to stay clear of the area.

Woodcock do not flush until the last moment and the burst into flight with a noisy whirr of flight feathers. Tends to frighten

anyone approaching the nest site.

Their first stop, after leaving Calabogie Peaks, was incorrectly identified.

It should have read RiverRun Rafting.

The Renfrew Mercury apologizes for any inconvenience caused by the error.

THIS WEEK’S FEATURE 555 O'BRIEN RD., RENFREW

UPLAND SANDPIPER, BOBOLINKS Dave Fleming from Cobden was bicycling just outside of Cobden when he observed both upland sandpipers and bobolinks.

These two upland species are uncommon, the bobolink being reduced to “threatened” in the past few years.

Dave has chosen the best way to exercise and bird watch at the same time. The speed and the absence of noise make birding much more interesting and eventful.

HOUSE WREN

SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE

A story in the June 9 Renfrew Mercury covered the eight female journalists in the area as part of the Ottawa Valley Tourist Association (OVTA) motorcycle familiarization (FAM) tour held May 31 to June 4 in the Valley.

Hwy 51

As June 15 approaches the whip-poor-wills are becoming more vocal. The whip-poor-will coordinates its nesting with the moon’s cycle; its eggs hatching as the moon waxes, providing many hours of moonlight to spot prey to feed its young.

Derek and Rita Tolhurst at Cobden have been hearing the birds calling, Liz Raaphorst has been hearing the birds on Whalen Road, Pearl Cameron has heard them in the ArnpriorWhite Lake area, Christine and Murray Short have heard them on Burt’s Road in Whitewater, John Kedrosky has heard them on several occasions on Pucker Street, Rob Winters has heard them on Storyland Road and Nathalie and Frank Warmerdam have heard them at Foymount.

As you can see the birds are not confined to one area. The whips will be vocal for another week or two.

Mary Steele has had a pair of bluebirds showing signs of nesting in one of her bird boxes but not building a nest. They finally decided this week to take the plunge and have constructed a nest and the female has begun incubating the eggs.

A pair of brown thrashers has also decided to nest and is incubating eggs as well. Incubation time is 13 to 15 days, for both species.

A green heron has been making an appearance at the Steele home lately. This species is an able fish catcher and uses a variety of lures, including crusts of bread, feathers and earthworms freshly dug for the purpose.

The bright yellow legs and blue-grey back are the best field marks for this species.

A NASTY ENCOUNTER Terry Cunningham saw a ring-necked pheasant and a milk snake engaged in an aggressive encounter, the pheasant wanting to have the snake as an entrée for lunch and the snake wanting to be left alone. The snake finally won and was able to escape the sharp bill of the pheasant.

Cathy and Remick Campbell have a colourful trio of birds on their property. A beautiful pair of scarlet tanagers (blackwinged redbird) a pair of orange and black blackburnian warblers and our most regal looking species (in my opinion), a pair of cedar waxwings are all nesting close by.

Sightings of whip-poor-wills are always appreciated.

Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, K7V 3Z8, phone 613-432-2738 or email jamesh@nrtco.net

IN MEMORIAM

We’re never ready to say goodbye To someone we hold dear.

If it were up to us, dear Dad, We’d always keep you here.

But God has reasons of His own And plans we cannot know, And these are always for our good, Though it may seem not so.

Our arms are empty and our hearts Are filled with tears and grief, For we who loved each day with you, Now find those days too brief.

Yet if we could only heaven see, We’d know you’re happy there, And we would never call you back When such great joy you share.

And so we’ll trust you to God’s great care And know some day, once more, We’ll hold you to our hearts again When we reach heaven’s shore.

CL24934

Little did we know that morning God was going to call your name.

In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.

For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide.

And though we cannot see you, you are always by our side.

Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same.

But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
