Dissatisfaction in Horton STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com
Several Horton recreation committee members are unhappy with how the township has redefined the job of recreation program manager. Julie Hawley of nearby Otter Lake, Que., filled that part-time position for two years, then stayed on for the two months leading up to June 17, 2011 to facilitate recreational activities. She had the option of remaining on the job until Sept. 26, when the position becomes part of a full-time position with Horton Township. But she declined. When Hawley accepted the job, the mother of two children told the township she did so because she wanted a part-time job. However, several of the 10 or so recreation committee members are dissatisfied with the process, said a committee member who asked not to be identified. Eventually, it was decided Horton Township would create a full-time position requiring about 15 hours weekly of administrative office work and 20 hours on recreation. See ‘Time’, Page 5

Searson bound for Bishop Smith Catholic High STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com
St. Joseph’s Catholic High School is losing its principal to Bishop Smith Catholic High School in Pembroke. Mark Searson, who became St. Joe’s principal in 2008, makes the
move in September 2011. He succeeds Peter Adam, who was recently named the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board’s superintendent of educational services. “St. Joseph’s has been a home for me,” said Searson.
“While I’m happy for the opportunity, it’s a very sad goodbye,” added Searson, who also taught at the school from 2001 to 2004. At that time he was a teacher and program leader for Canadian world studies, religious education and English. See ‘New school’, Page 4

They are backed by the foundation chair Don Goulet and manor community affairs co-ordinator Robyn Arseneau.

A most welcomed addition to the manor STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com
With construction complete, the new auditorium at Bonnechere Manor was open and available for previews by VIPs and the public June 15. The VIPs were actually entitled Very Important Patrons, as 143 of them, including members of the media and the business community, were invited to a special preview for 12:30 p.m. June 15. A preview for other members of the public was the same day from 2 to 5 p.m. The official unveiling and naming of the auditorium in this building, which opened in 1995, will happen the morning of June 29. The facility will be named Renfrew Rotary Hall, in keeping with the local club’s pledge to provide $100,000 over the next five years for the project. The manor will also host the same day’s June meeting of Renfrew County council. “They say champagne is undeniably
the ultimate drink to celebrate success and celebration. And that’s why we’re here today,” said Bonnechere Manor community relations co-ordinator Robyn Arseneau before asking the crowd to raise its glasses for a collective toast. “We’re here to celebrate the success that, after 16 years of this building being built, we have come through all trials and tribulations, the hurdles and the jumps, the construction and much fundraising, to now being able to stand here in our very own auditorium. “We’re also here to celebrate community. Look around. From across Renfrew County and beyond, you are all here because you have generously opened your hearts and your wallets to help support this very great project.” She also noted, prior to the toast, that the day of the preview was just the “beginning of the start for so much more to come for this auditorium. “So,” she added, “on behalf of the Bonnechere Manor Foundation, and
the communities across Renfrew County, the present and future residents at Bonnechere Manor, their families, their friends, the staff and the volunteers, I want to say thank you.” Then, to a collective cheer, she said: “The toast is to OUR auditorium!” The VIPs in the crowd included Dr. Arthur Dick and local pharmacist and manor foundation member Sheila Kemp. Dr. Dick worked at the old Bonnechere Manor that had an auditorium, then worked with residents in the new building that came without such a facility. “It’s very good for the residents, and it’s really needed … as a gathering place for residents and all their families,” he said. “It means a lot,” said Dr. Dick’s wife, Joan, whose mother lived at the manor from 2006 until her death in 2009. Before it was difficult to find spacious quarters for family or group gatherings. But not any more. See ‘Preview’, Page 37

The official opening of the Admaston Recreation Complex (ARC) featured several local recreation committee members along with special guests. In the front row, from left, are slap-shot artist Mason Lynch and spokesperson Lauren Campbell-Brunke of Admaston Public School and committee member Jamie Box; in the back row, Angela Field, Krystyna DeVries, Scott Buffam, Admaston-Bromley Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe, MPP John Yakabuski, Jeff Barber, Mike Wright, Ray Pender, school board chairman Dave Shields, Admaston Public School principal Tracey Stevens and Bev Forgie.

STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com
Scott Buffam was described as the driving force behind the Admaston rink revitalization project. But during Friday night’s official opening of the new Admaston Recreation Complex, the chairman of AdmastonBromley’s ward 3 and 4 recreation was quick to talk about how the project represents a whole lot more than a hockey rink. Buffam called the facility, which includes a club house, a potential hub of the community − a place where community members will be able to gather to enjoy recreational pursuits and to connect with neighbours. The rink behind Admaston Public School doesn’t look much like the one built more than 40 years ago. The so-called Shack is still there, but there’s also newly laid asphalt, rink boards with advertising, a basketball backboard, and expectations that this rink will become home to

many future recreational activities. Having a soccer field and track next to the rink helps ensure that reality. The official opening of the Admaston Recreation Complex, a.k.a. ARC, took place Friday night before about 100 participants. The representative from Ontario Trillium Foundation (which provided a grant of nearly $40,000) had to make a last-minute cancellation. But other special guests were present, local MPP John Yakabuski and public school board chairman Dave Shields, along with several members of the ward 3 and 4 recreation committee. “After 44 years, it (the old rink) certainly didn’t owe us anything, so we came up with an ambitious plan to revitalize it,” said Buffam during the opening ceremonies. “We were looking at doing it the easy way, with government funding (that would have entailed one-third each federal, provincial and municipal contributions). That would have been easy … There would have been very little com-
munity involvement. “But looking back now, I’m happy we didn’t get that funding. It caused us to look within the community and look for probably the most valuable resource of all, people.” Two years later, Buffam says: “We take great pride in what we’ve built here. We look around and see the new field house, the boards, the pavement … but probably what we’re taking more pride in is what we can’t see or measure. And that would be the sense of community by working on this project together. Buffam also alluded to contributions by local businesses as well as Hydro One and Admaston Public School’s parents council. Clearly, hockey will be played here, but other possibilities include sponge hockey and basketball leagues. “Probably our biggest goal is to bring this (place) back, with a safe, multi-faceted complex so it can become a hub like it was years ago,” added Buffam. Admaston-Bromley Mayor Raye-Anne
Briscoe extolled the use of the new name, ARC, which she says has been realized “with super-human effort, regardless of how you spell it. “It was a two-year project, and here it is right before us.” MPP John Yakabuski was among those who offered congratulations. “It’s the sense of ownership and belonging that makes these (type of) programs successful,” said Yakabuski. “Everyone benefits, everyone wins with a program like this.” Another speaker at the opening ceremony was Admaston Public School student and spokesman Lauren CampbellBrunke. She thanked those who made the project possible, noted it “will be fantastic for all of us,” and surmised it may also be the first place some Admaston Public students put on a pair of skates.

Idol contestants to sing for CHEO
New school for principal Searson
ALYSON OLSHESKI County of Renfrew
The Renfrew County Idol finalists but on an incredible show at Expo 150 but their hard work and dedication doesn’t end there. The finalists will be performing again at the Renfrew Armouries on Sunday, June 26, 2011 at 1 p.m. in Valley Voices for CHEO. These performers, along with their Idol back-up band Over EXPOsed, have graciously committed their time and talent to this fundraiser for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. The talent doesn’t end with the music though. Local celebrity and Canadian Broadcaster Max Keeping will be the emcee for the afternoon and Dan McGarry of McGarry Sound and Light will be providing the effects which are sure to be great entertainment. County of Renfrew Warden, Bob Sweet is looking forward to the event and encourages everyone to come out and support CHEO and their favourite local performers. “There are many talented performers and committed volunteers in Renfrew County. They have dedicated their time even after Expo 150 to give back to an organization that has touched all our lives in one way or another. It is going to be a special day with some exciting entertainment! We are fortunate to have CHEO in our area and it is an honour to support them. Thank you to the dedicated staff at CHEO who have impacted the lives of so many residents in Renfrew County.” Valley Voices for CHEO is being organized by the County of Renfrew with the help of some special friends from CHEO.

Continued from front page “Mark is an excellent model for our students in the Catholic school system,” said board chairman Bob Schreader in a news release. “His passion for his work and his great faith inspire extraordinary achievement in those around him. “He will fit in very well with our strong teaching team at Bishop Smith.” Director of education Michele Arbour said Searson’s “considerable experience in both secondary and elementary education make him a very effective principal. “His background in special education is also a notable advantage. “Although we had several worthy internal candidates, Mark’s exceptional leadership skills made him an excellent choice.” “As principal at Bishop Smith,” said Searson, “I will nurture an environment of trust and respect in which everyone — students and colleagues — can continue
their journey in faith and lifelong learning. I look forward to many opportunities to challenge ourselves and learn from one another.” Searson met some of the students when he joined Bishop Smith and St. Joseph’s students during their visit to the Dominican Republic last February. From 2004 to 2008, Searson was principal at St. Joseph’s elementary school in Calabogie. He also served as assistant to the director of education from August 2009 to February 2010. Before joining St. Joseph’s high school staff in 2001, he worked as an educator in Quebec and Alberta. He received his B.A. from the University of Western Ontario in 1995, and his B. Ed and special edcucation certificate from Mount Allison University in 1997. He and wife Catherine reside in Douglas with their four children. The process to select St. Joe’s next principal will be initiated immediately.

‘Beary, beary’ successful 19th annual B*A*S*H picnic
STEVE NEWMAN
steve.newman@metroland.com
Another successful B*A*S*H Teddy Bear Picnic is in the history books. The 19th annual Bear Ambulatory Surgical Hospital picnic attracted a virtual rash of teddy bears, or other assorted stuffed animals, and their young owners, on Saturday morning. The front lawn of Renfrew Victoria Hospital was occupied by several departments, including admit-
ting, x-ray, physiotherapy, the surgical hospital, the OPP’s kid-identification site, Winnie the Pooh’s honey pot raffle-prize headquarters, face-painting and dentistry. The Teddy Bear Picnic’s participants included physicians and other hospital staff members, as well as volunteers. Jennifer Pilgrim of Renfrew brought her three daughters, Mya, Dori and Ava. “I think it’s great. It’s a
lot of fun,” said mom. “It’s magical. They really take it all in.” Hospital recreationist Roxanne Nolan was the picnic co-ordinator for a decade. She then took a sabbatical, but has been back at the helm the last few years. Like many others, she recognizes the importance of an event where kids can bring their most cherished companions for a checkup. “What a wonder it is to
see the world through the eyes of a child, and to see the mystery and wonder,” said Nolan. “What a great opportunity it is for us who volunteer to be able to once again
enter the world of makebelieve for a few hours. All those who ‘work’ at the picnic always comment on how much fun they have had!” A total of 177 teddy
bears, or other fine, fluffy friends, were treated for all sorts of ailments, including cuts, tears, broken limbs, dental issues and diabetes. The event ran from 9 a.m. to noon.

EDITORIAL
Important day: June’s annual skin cancer clinic
Be a donor I
magine having the potential to save eight lives and enhance 75 more. It’s all possible by registering online as an organ and tissue donor. More than 1,500 Ontarians are on the list waiting for an organ transplant. Every three days, someone in this province dies while waiting for a life-saving transplant. Thousands more are waiting for a tissue transplant that could help enhance their lives. You can change that. All you have to do is take a few minutes out of your day to register as an organ and tissue donor online. Signed donor cards are no longer an acceptable option; the card may not be available when the information is needed and your wishes will go unknown. The online registry stores your information in a Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care database and shares your decision to donate with the Trillium Gift of Life Network, Ontario’s organ and tissue donation agency. When you register, you ensure your decision to donate will be carried out in the event of your death – donation is only an option after all life-saving efforts have failed. Granted, death is a morbid subject – especially when it comes unexpectedly. But your organs and tissue won’t do any good for anyone when they’re six feet under. Corneas could help a woman see the world around her. A skin graft could help a burn victim heal. A new pair of lungs could give a child with cystic fibrosis the breath to carry on. A new heart could give a father the chance to watch his son grow up. Anyone can donate, regardless of pre-existing medical conditions and lifestyle. You can also choose what to give. The only requirement is that you are 16 years of age or older. Don’t leave the burden of choice up to your loved ones. Register at www.beadonor.ca, visit a ServiceOntario centre or download and mail in the Gift of Life consent form to become a donor.

To the editor: On June 6 the seven skin cancer screening clinic was held in memory of Lois LeClaire. The day was extremely important. Congrats to those of you who came and there was nothing to worry about. To those others who needed immediate care, thank God you came. Drs. Radke, DiPaolo, Clarke and our area’s dermatologist, Dr. Sack of Arnprior, are making it their goal to make people aware of Canada’s number one cancer. They are concerned, and rightfully so, because skin cancer can be preventable. We are a wonderful community in cancer support. We get out and bake, run and donate – all in the support of cancer research. The one thing we need to do is to get ourselves to the pharmacy and buy the highest numbered sunscreen for protection. When you meet me I’m usually quite willing to tell you the statistics.

Twolan Ryder Cup trips continue to Renfrew Golf Club To the editor, Around Father’s Day virtually the same core of 12 Ottawa men play golf at the Renfrew Golf Club, then return to the Rocky Mountain House for a spirited critique of individual and team scores, a great meal, euchre, beverages and welcomed sleep. The next morning the group has a second game in Arnprior or Cobden, awards the Twolan Ryder Cup Trophy to the winning team, along with other prizes, and returns home to the Borden Farm neighbourhood in west end Ottawa where the friendships began long ago The organizer and commissioner, Ron Twolan, says, “We are now in our 60s and 70s but grew up together playing hockey and ball and later gravitating to golf. “Initially the group went to Malone for the weekend, but we decided to stay in Canada and support a local economy. “We considered the seaway or Quebec, but as some of us have Ottawa Valley roots, it was an easy choice to make Renfrew our base.” The Renfrew golf course is beautiful and may be a little too challenging for our collective talents. But the friendly hospitality and good humour

Stevens, Blok among principals on the move STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com
After a year as interim principal at Admaston Public School, Tracey Stevens is being transferred to Eganville and District Public School as vice-principal. The principal at EDPS is Harry Gervais. Stevens, who lives in Horton Township, is among a handful of educators moving into new positions as of September 2011. “I’m thrilled to be going to EDPS, but it’s very bitter-sweet,” said Stevens. “I love it here. I have enjoyed the year immensely.” EDPS has just over 400 students, while APS, with kindergarten through Grade 6, has a student population of nearly 140. Changes continue for the school, too, with the recent opening of the Admaston Recreation Complex and the advent this September of all-day, every-day kindergarten. Admaston Public School’s new principal will be Catherine McGregor, who has been on sabbatical leave. Previous to this school year, McGregor was the Herman Street Public School
principal in Petawawa. Therèse Norbonne, who is a past principal at the former Horton Public School, was working in an administrative capacity. As of September she becomes viceprincipal at General Panet Public School in Petawawa. The movement of vice-principals continues with Dan Brumm of Cobden Public School assuming the same position at Walter Zadow Public School. David Prange remains v.p. while moving from Fellowes High School to General Lake Public in Petawawa. Kim Shoveller returns as Walter Zadow’s principal after being on sabbatical. Peter Burnette, who was acting principal, heads to Arnprior District High School as vice-principal. Opeongo High School’s new principal, in September, will be current vice-principal Amy Johnson, while vice-principal Bill Smith of ADHS becomes vice-principal at Opeongo. Opeongo’s current principal, Stephen Blok, will become the board’s information technologies systems leader.
Recreation agreement with Town of Renfrew Admaston-Bromley Township has signed a new four-year recreation agreement with the Town of Renfrew. The agreement means
township residents will not be required to pay more than town participants in recreation programs. The agreement is based on a per-capita cost formula.
The cost per user has increased by 13.13 per cent per participants, while the number of AdamstonBromley participants has jumped 9.7 per cent.

The Renfrew Mercury - June 23, 2011

Hungry thieves break into local eateries Three businesses in Renfrew were broken into overnight on June 16. Police responded to Zio Nicolas Pizzeria where someone entered and stole several cases of pop. This was reported about 11:30 p.m. Police were next dispatched to a break-in at the Shanloon Restaurant about 12:30 a.m. A suspect was observed on security cameras. At 12:50 a.m. police responded to an alarm at Renfrew Pizzeria. The police and owner attended and discovered the back door had been entered. It is unknown if anything was stolen. Police are continuing to investigate. VIOLENT ALTERCATION On Sunday, June 19 in the early evening, officers responded to an assault at a fishing hole on Limestone Lake Road in the Township of Greater Madawaska. When the 52-year-old male victim arrived with another male he fired several shots from a rifle into the water. This upset a male nearby who yelled at the men and then left. He returned later and began arguing with the men. The suspect then picked up a rock and struck the victim in the head. The suspect then pulled out a knife, threatened the two males, and proceeded to damage their fishing gear and vehicle. The male suspect fled the scene in a black pickup truck with an aluminium fishing boat in the back.
Const. Tina Hunt is investigating.

DOMESTIC DISPUTES
THEFT
Renfrew OPP officers responded to eight domestic disputes during the past week. In two cases the officers are continuing to investigate. No criminal offences occurred in the other cases.
A green toy jaguar style pedal car was stolen from a driveway in Renfrew some time June 12-14. It had been offered for sale at a garage sale on the weekend. There is no suspect in the case at this time.
FRAUD
THREAT
A woman from Greater Madawaska Township reported June 17 that she discovered someone opened a cell phone account in her name. The victim indicated the fraudster used her social insurance number as identification. The cell phone company is currently investigating. This case serves as a reminder to people to closely guard identification. A social insurance card is rarely used, yet people often carry it in their wallet. Consider storing it in a safe place, with other identification not often used. Monitor your credit history through Trans Union or Equifax.
Police are investigating after a student reported being threatened with a knife at St. Thomas the Apostle school in Renfrew. No one was injured in the incident which was reported on June 14. The Renfrew detachment of the OPP responded to 185 calls for service during the past week. Crime Stoppers Pembroke/Renfrew County believes someone may have information that could help police solve these crimes. If you have information on any criminal offence that results in charges being laid, you qualify for an award of up to $2,000.

CFL analyst and former player Climie addresses Raiders at banquet PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com
Former Canadian Football League star receiver and current TSN analyst Jock Climie was guest speaker at the Raiders’ night of excellence. Climie offered 10 lessons to the RCI students to help them through their school years and life in general. He said life is a journey. As you work your way through school, whether it be in sports or in the classroom, “enjoy the moment,” Climie said. You don’t want to look back later with regrets. Climie said preparation is important. “Studying for an exam is the same as for a player. It’s not how you prepare, but how smart you are. Use your time wisely.” Climie said putting in five hours studying does you little good if you don’t prepare properly. Fairness is important, Climie explained. “Win with integrity.” He used examples of a football team videotaping another team’s practice to get a handle on their plays. “It’s not against the rules,” Climie said. “But unfair.” He said cheating to get an A on an exam is not the same as earning an honest C. Then you can
work to improve to B, and finally to an A. Climie said you can beat intimidation. “You can’t allow things to intimidate you. Use it to motivate.” If you are surrounded by smart people, you can learn not to be intimidated, he said. Teamwork is important in all aspects of life. “Use teamwork to achieve a goal. It applies in school as well as sports.” Show courage, Climie said. “It takes a lot of courage to be a good student. You have to overcome the fear of failure, whether in sports or in the classroom.
Jock Climie
“You must have a short memory.” Climie used his own experience to offer an example. When taking a pass over the middle and getting drilled by a defender, Climie said he’d forget about them being there the next time he was called so he could suc-
cessfully run his route and complete the play. On the topic of dollars, Climie said, “Don’t let money drive your every move. “Do something you love. Don’t do something you don’t like just because it pays more money.” The presence of humility
should never be underestimated. “Understand and recognize, there are people around you, (that) you can learn from,” the Queen’s University grad says. That includes parents, as much as young people might not want to believe it, Climie added. See Climie, Page 15
Lock ‘em up until Canucks win It was one of the craziest things I’ve seen on Canadian television since the last time the Vancouver Canucks lost a Stanley Cup final. Hundreds of people, many in Vancouver Canuck jerseys, burning cars, smashing their way into stores, fighting. You name it. Not only does last Wednesday night’s free-for-all embarrass the City of Vancouver, but it embarrasses the game of hockey, and an entire country. In many places, the only hockey highlights they ever see is when something barbaric happens. This sure doesn’t help that. I heard an American-based sports radio host exclaim, “I always thought Canadians could hold their liquor!” Even that sentiment has been forever tarnished.
PETER CLARK PETER’S PUTTERINGS Since rioting has happened twice now in the aftermath of a Canucks seven-game loss – the first in 1994 – I have a solution as the authorities, hopefully, bring many of these culprits – no, make that criminals – in for justice. We know they obviously can’t handle a loss, and no one remembers the aftermath of the Vancouver Millionaires Cup triumph in 1915. So here’s what they should do. Slap them behind bars and leave them there until the Canucks win the Stanley Cup. If it’s next year, they get out. If it’s not for 25 or 50 years, then they get out.
* * * A couple of weeks back, we asked for the only team in the 2000 era to lose the first two games of the playoffs at home, and then win the Stanley Cup. Our answer was Detroit in 2002. Correct. But there is a second team, and Randy Smith was on it like a cat. Carolina also dropped its first games at home in 2006 and went on to win the Cup. Now Boston has done it. As for last week’s question, the three teams to defeat the Bruins during their Cup final five-series losing streak before snapping it this year were Philadelphia once, and Montreal and Edmonton twice. And for this week: Mark Recchi won Stanley Cups with Pittsburgh, Carolina and Boston. What four other NHL teams did he play for?

Doubles action highlights tennis week BY SHEILA KEMP Racquet from the Courts
Twenty-one avid tennis players attended the second fun tennis tournament of the year on June 17. This tournament was sponsored by John Wilson of Ottawa Valley Money Concepts. Spring has been perfect tennis weather and Friday night was no exception. On Court 1, Dave Abraham, otherwise known as Hammer (think of an exceptionally hard serve), teamed up with Gerard Blimkie to win over Jane Donnelly and Sharon Cayen. Although the ladies couldn’t take the win, another lady was working hard on Court 2 to make amends. Susan Veale and Rob Hagerman teamed up and took the bragging rights away from Mike Comeau and Robert Cayen on the second court. You go, girl! On Court 3 Robert Pelletier, our No. 1 singles player, paired with Sue Comeau and defeated Andrew Hagerman and Martha Scott in a long battle. Andrew is admired for having the hardest serve of the club, but that didn’t seem to bother his opposition

this time. John Wilson, our tournament sponsor, and Garry Irving defeated Randall Donnelly and Ben Treidlinger on Court 4. John utilizes his badminton smashes and Garry can pretty much place the ball anywhere he desires on the court. That is a pretty difficult combination to beat. Wimbledon is taking place in England right now and tennis fans are anxious to see whether their favourite professional players can win. Will Rafa Nadal (2008, 2010), Roger Federer (2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009), or Novak Djokovic, who has never won Wimbledon, raise the coveted trophy? Can Serena Williams (2002, 2003, 2009, 2010) come back after a long absence due to injury to defeat her sister, Venus (2000, 2001, 2005, 2007, 2008) or the number one seeded Caroline Wozniaki? And remember to keep your head pointed upward until at least a split second after you have hit the ball while serving. If you pull your head down too early, you will pull your racquet and the ball down with it.

Many people don’t think of motorsports facilities as the greenest, most environmental places on earth. But that’s about to change at Calabogie MotorSports. It’s not exactly a smog-filled facility at the busiest of times, but it’s going to be greener than ever by 2012. Calabogie MotorSports Park has just received approval from the Ontario Power Authority to install innovative solar technology panels on the rooftops of its 13,000-square-foot garage in the park. The technology features photovoltaic panels. “We received approval for a 75 kW FIT Program from the Ontario Power Authority on May 31, 2011 and are very exited about this project and a 20-year commitment to the production of solar energy under Ontario’s green energy Leadership program,” said Calabogie MotorSports Park track manager Jane Blinn in a news release. “This environmental project will create a new source of income for the business while providing new clean and green electricity in Ontario – particularly on hot, sunny summer days when demand soars,” added Blinn. She also said “this initiative is part of CMP’s overall effort to support renewable energy sources and continue to embrace ways to reduce our carbon footprint.” Construction of the rooftop PV system is expected to begin in late 2012, but won’t
become operational until early 2013. Marc Steenbakkers, the president, general manager and co-owner of CMP, is extremely pleased with the successful application. While he admits it will cost in the hundreds of thousands of dollars to install the system, which will reroute energy to Ontario’s energy grid, he says CMP will make back that investment within about 10 years. The solar panels will be located on the south side of the garage building, allowing for increased sun exposure during the day. Calabogie MotorSports Park staff has been working on this application since early 2010 after the program was announced in late 2009. CMP opened in the fall of 2006. This move adds more diversity to the business, said Steenbakkers. “It helps promote green energy and lessons our carbon footprint.” Besides, he notes that if the Loblaws and Walmarts of the worlds are taking big green steps, why shouldn’t facilities such as CMP. “It’s a good program for Ontarians to do and we’re doing it in a big way.” Ontario’s Feed-In Tariff (FIT) program for renewable energy generation is a cornerstone of Ontario’s Green Energy Act. Under the program, participants are paid a fixed-price for the electricity they generate over a 20-year contract. For details, visit www.fit.powerauthority.on.ca.

THE OTTAWA HOSPITAL FOUNDATION In October 2009, Rhea Ferguson’s father, Bill, was diagnosed with esophageal gastric cancer at age 59.
After successfully undergoing treatment at The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre, the family received some devastating news – the cancer was back, and this time, it was inoperable. Ferguson also knows more about the need for cancer research than the average person. She recently completed her Master’s degree in cancer epidemiology at McGill University, has worked with cancer researcher Dr. John Bell at The Ottawa Hospital Research Institute (OHRI) and is currently working as a database manager for the Hospital’s ovarian cancer bank. “Cancer research has always been a big passion for me,” said the 26-year-old Ottawa native. “There’s a history of cancer in my family. I lost all my grandparents to it.”
Ferguson, who is riding as a member of the Cancer Trailblazers, the OHRI Cancer Centre team, said she reached her fundraising goal of $1,500 in just two weeks. “People are so generous,” she said. “Everyone knows someone who is affected by the disease. “It would be amazing to have another treatment option that is… not so hard on the body,” she said. “The research needs to continue.” With her father’s health rapidly declining, she said she will be thinking about him when she does the ride on Sept. 10. “I’m hoping to be able to tell him about it,” she said. To support Rhea Ferguson’s ride, or to join her mother, Sheila Ferguson, as a volunteer, visit www.ridetherideau.ca
Looking for a way to make a difference, she learned about Ride the Rideau, a 100 km cycling fundraiser from Ottawa to Merrickville to support cancer research at The Ottawa Hospital, and immediately signed up. “It’s raising money for where I work, and it’s going to where my dad was treated,” she said. “It was a perfect fit.” Ferguson’s mother, Sheila, also got on board as a Ride the Rideau volunteer.
Ride the Rideau participant Rhea Ferguson with her parents, Sheila and Bill.
“My mom and I are involved because my dad is dying of cancer,” she said. “We want to do something for him. It’s a personal cause for both of us.”

Repairs underway at Calabogie dam As of May 1, construction on the Calabogie GS North Branch Dam began to repair and improve mechanical and structural components of the dam. The project includes the replacement of existing overhead trolley log-handling equipment with a new design that is more efficient, safer, and will have a projected service life of 40 plus years. In addition to the log-handling equipment, contractors will also work to repair and modify the dam structure to accommodate the dimensions. To accommodate the design of new equipment and ensure easy operations, the work will also include the replacement of all steel stop logs. Steel stop logs are rectangular steel members positioned in a way that they block the flow of water through the dam. “By removing these steel members one by one, we allow more water to flow through the dam,” says Matthew Mulvihill, OPG public affairs officer for the Ottawa/St.Lawrence Plant Group. “The work done on the Calabogie North Branch Dam will exPembroke/Renfrew County Crime Stoppers received a contribution of $1,500 from On- tend the life of these structures, tario Power Generation, represented by Steve McNeil, centre, of the Des Joachims Gener- reduce maintenance and operatating Station.

Compassion in the service of care, Jamie MacDougall and the Order of Canada
Jamie MacDougall is the founder and Director of The Ottawa Hospital’s Institute for Rehabilitation Research and Development. He grew up in Overbrook, a brisk run from the General Campus. He went to high school at Lisgar, beside City Hall. His commitment to Ottawa is obvious. It is his commitment to Canada’s Deaf and persons with disability that led to his investiture in the Oder of Canada, on May 27. “You immediately think of all the people that made it possible, especially those with disabilities who inspired me. It is validation for thousands of people,” says MacDougall of the honour. Deafness and disability is personal for MacDougall. His parents, Peter and Gladys, were both deaf. His daughter, Paige, suffered a serious head injury at age 17, bringing his awareness of disabilities even closer to home. “People with disabilities have greater potential than we realize,” says MacDougall. “They have to overcome a lot of stereotypes…Just like everyone else, they aspire to realize their full potential.” Rusty Wendt, the head Carleton University’s Department of Psychology, understood this calling early on, convincing McDougall to take a summer job working with deaf parents seeking better means to communicate with their hearing children.

MacDougall left Carleton for McGill, getting his Masters and PhD in Clinical Psychology, studying the psychological impact of sensory deprivation and the link between deafness and literacy. Moving to Newfoundland’s Memorial University, he studied the impact of resettlement on cognitive development in children. From there, he went on to Rochester New York’s National Technical Institute for the Deaf. Then, back to McGill, where he spent 40 years teaching in the area of deafness and disability, and lead the Mackay Centre for Deaf and Disabled Children. His research is rooted in the everyday challenges faced by the Deaf and persons with disability. “Whether its children or adults,” says MacDougall, “I’ve been touched by the courage of extraordinary people.” Those people, in turn, have enabled valuable research. “The strength of clinically driven research is that it is both practical and sophisticated because of the problems it allows us to explore”.

His ability to extend clinical work beyond the hospital into the real world sets MacDougall apart. Working with advocacy groups such as the Canadian Hearing Society and the Canadian Association of the Deaf, he fought to ensure people with disabilities enjoy the full protection of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. His example brings The Ottawa Hospital a step closer to its vision of providing each patient with the world class care, exceptional service and compassion we would want for our loved ones.

The educational horizons keep expanding for Christopher Millar of AdmastonBromley. The recent political science graduate from St. Francis Xavier University has aspirations to work in the Canadian foreign service, but that will never happen if his French doesn’t improve. A youth exchange in Scotland last summer was a step in the right direction, but he’s now taking an even bigger step, as a participant in a Canada World Youth cultural exchange program. The 22-year-old (as of June 24) leaves June 28 for La Pocteire, Que., for a three-month stint working in the agricultural sector. He then heads to the African county of Mali, just south of Africa, for another three months working under very different agricultural conditions in the village of Karadjé.
He’ll be supplied with a more detailed information package in the coming months, but what he knows to date is that the village is about 115 kilometres from Mali’s capital of Bamako and that is difficult to pinpoint its population. “A certain portion of the community,” explains Millar, “is very migratory, and the size of the village fluctuates due to the availability of water and the length of the dry season.” In both locations, French is heavily used, which is exactly what Millar wants. HISTORY BUFF
Christopher Millar
As a history buff, Millar says Mali really whets his appetite to see more of the world, partly because the country is home to the former ancient city of Timbuktu and features various tribes, including a local one called the Bozos. Living on a hobby farm, just outside Renfrew, Millar says the prospect of work-
ing in different agricultural settings is inviting. Back home in Renfrew, he says family members have raised pheasants, quails and guinea pigs; see cows come and go for summer pasturing; tapped for their own maple syrup; and done their share of gardening. To be sure, he’ll encounter new farming experi-

ences in Quebec and Africa. But that’s all part of participating in a new adventure, he says. Besides, if he’s going to improve his French, he might as well enjoy it in Quebec, to start, where he says the Quebecois are fervent supporters of their own culture who also reach into the global environment to enjoy sectors of other cultures. “When I went to Quebec (last summer) I had a stereotypical view of what Quebec would be like. But living in Quebeçois culture changed my entire view,” he says. “The perspective that they’re rude and stuck up is completely false. As long as you make an effort to speak their language ... it’s a beautiful culture (to be exposed to) and they protect it.” The Quebeçois “really are different, but they’re still part of the whole” Canadian identity, says Millar, who knows a lot less about the people of Mali.

New ice cream flavour honours Cook
Rowan Good became an instant fan at the Mary Cook ice cream party.
PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com
If you like ice cream – and no one has ever been found who doesn’t – the newly named Mary Cook Ice Cream at Centreside Dairy is definitely worth a try. Already, a group of about 200 people who attended the official unveiling of Cook’s ice cream last Friday are sure to be on board. Valley Heritage Radio – where Cook hosts a radio program on Saturday mornings – hosted the launch of the new ice cream flavour. Melany Tracey and staff members of Tracey’s Ice Cream were on hand to provide the first scoops. Centreside Dairy (makers of Tracey’s Ice Cream) sponsors Cook’s show. One morning at Heritage Radio, it was suggested just in conversation that the long-time Valley author and storyteller be honoured with her own ice cream. “One thing led to another,” Tracey recalled. “Her love for ice cream,” made this an easy decision, Tracey said. “Then we had to come up with a flavour,” Cook said. “I thought, ‘we have the best maple syrup in the world. What about maple syrup?’” “There is maple ice cream,” Cook added, “but it’s artificial, not with true maple syrup. And we’ll put a walnut on top.” “I can’t tell you how grateful I am to Melany and Mark (Tracey),” Cook added. “I think it’s very, very exciting, the highlight of my career. It’s a true honour. I’m so thankful Tracey’s Ice Cream got behind this. “I played a small role, naming the flavour,” she said. “I’ve never had a dog or cat, anything, named after me. Now I have ice cream.” Cook added this venture shows how Tracey’s is involved in the community. Every year, they fundraise for Hospice Renfrew, and a donation jar was set up for the cause at the ice cream launch. Cook has been enjoying Tracey’s ice cream since she was

Melany Tracey and Mary Cook celebrate the first cone sporting the new Mary Cook maple syrup flavour. a little girl. “It was Centreside Douglas then,” she recalled. She remembered one occasion when she wanted an ice cream cone, and her mother unexpectedly took her to Centreside. “I was crying so hard, I couldn’t tell the guy what kind of ice cream I wanted, so he gave me all three flavours they had at the time – strawberry, chocolate and vanilla. It cost a nickle.” Following an interview on Valley Heritage Radio with Dai Bassett, and a few words from VHR advertising and marketing consultant Gerry Bimm, everyone in attendance lined up for healthy scopes of the Mary Cook ice cream. People not at the launch won’t have a wait to try a Mary Cook Ice Cream Cone. It is on sale now.

News 45th season starts Saturday Storyland Park opens for its 45th season this Saturday, June 25. To celebrate the milestone, the park is planning special events throughout the summer. These will include new shows from favourite Storyland characters, the return of the popular tube slide, a new lookout at the top of Storyland Hill that has a spectacular view of the Ottawa Valley, and Storyland mascot Kuddels. Popular attractions returning will include the Splish-Splash water spray mark, the Jump & Bounce, the barnyard petting zoo, and the classic Fairytale Trail. But it’s not all good news at Storyland. Some ambitious plans have been put on hold due to health problems for park owner Todd MattilaHartman who was diagnosed with cancer this past winter. But he soldiers on. “Words can’t express how much I appreciate what everyone has done to help out,” he said in a news release. “This has been a difficult time for me, and I haven’t always handled it well, but I’m looking forward to getting better and getting back to work.” Storyland is open daily 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Storyland is back for a 45th season. See story this page.

Continued from Page 2 Now, said Mrs. Dick, it’s going to be a place where people can gather together in agreeable surroundings. Kemp admits there was some trepidation when the project began. But she said the hugely energetic members of the foundation helped make project fundraising successful. As the banner strung across the west-side windows of the auditorium read: “Together we did it.” The facility has sizable seating, a stage and a sound system that will be expanded upon with time. Fundraising for the facility, which was built by M. Sullivan & Son of Arnprior, continues. DIRECT OFFICE

Local dog recently diagnosed with Lyme disease DR. LESLIE DE ABREU Pinnacle Animal Hospital
Recently, a case of Lyme disease was diagnosed in a dog living in Renfrew County, even though the prevalence of disease in this area is considered to be very low. Tess is a six-and-a-half-yearold border collie. Her symptoms were typical of the disease and included lameness, loss of energy, fever and loss of appetite. She had not travelled anywhere within the last year, indicating that the disease was contracted locally. Lyme disease is a caused by a bacterial infection that is transmitted by a tick commonly known as the deer tick (Ixodes scapularis). Ticks are insects that can be found in forests and in tall grass. They latch on to animals and people to obtain a blood meal. An infective tick carries the bacteria (a type of spirochaete) in its midgut. This is brought up when the tick is feeding, a process that requires a minimum of 48 hours. In dogs, diagnosis is based on clinical signs and blood testing. If diagnosed early, antibiotics are curative. If left untreated, Lyme disease can at-
tack the heart, brain and kidneys. After a trip outdoors, it is a good idea to check your dog for ticks. If the tick is removed within 48 hours of attachment, the spirochaete and the disease cannot be transmitted. A vaccination is available for dogs but not routinely administered here, unless the dog will be travelling to an area that has a higher prevalence of Lyme disease. If more cases are found here, vaccination may become routinely recommended in the future. In Tess’s case, she quickly responded to antibiotics and continues to do well. At this time of year, it is also important to understand and prevent heartworm disease in our pets. Heartworm disease is transmitted by mosquitoes and results in large worms inhabiting the heart and its major blood vessels. The infection can eventually cause heart failure. The good news is that heartworm is easily prevented with a number of products that are available from your veterinarian. A heartworm test is recommended periodically to
Sweet start for Horton’s Canada Day Horton invites visitors to start off Canada Day on the right foot at the township’s community centre July 1 with an old-fashioned pancake breakfast complete with locally-produced maple syrup. RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski will be on hand to sing the national anthem. MP Cheryl Gallant is also scheduled to attend. Marie Brydges and friends will entertain for the festivities, which begin at 8 a.m. and run until noon at the centre on 1005 Castleford Rd. The fun for young and old also includes Little Ray’s Reptiles, Sebastian the winter carnival pig, the bounce castle, a craft and 476573

ensure your dog is not carrying the disease. In Ontario, heartworm season runs from June to mid-October of each year, when mosquitoes are most active. Heartworm preventive medication has been available for many years and is very successful in preventing the infection if used correctly. Over the years, the number of infected dogs has remained relatively low. However, a recent study published by the Ontario Veterinary College reveals a 60 per cent increase in the number of pets in Ontario carrying the potentially fatal heartworm parasite. This may be due to skepticism by pet owners about the need for veterinary preventive treatments, and failure to use prevention. Much like vaccination programs, heartworm prevention could become a victim of its own success. Your veterinarian is the best source for information about proper testing and prevention of Lyme and heartworm disease.
Admaston-Bromley Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe and township officials are pleased with the municipality’s recent building and
sewage report, which indicates construction at a total value of $1.297 million is underway. The absence of development charges is likely a factor, said Briscoe.
