Good news for Renfrew taxpayers

WAITING GAME

It’s been a hot and fiery May for Slave Lake, Alta., residents, including former Renfrew residents Carol Murphy Baker and husband Peter. Now they play the waiting game, to see when they can return to their devastated community.

SLIDING TOWARD SUMMER Mallory Freamo enjoyed her time at the St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic School fun fair last Thursday afternoon, particularly the big slide. The fun fair season continues at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School today from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m., with more food, games and entertainment for all to enjoy.

The tax bill for Renfrew residents will be much easier to swallow this year.

According to the 2011 budget approved by Renfrew council Tuesday night, lower tax rate increases for the education and county portions of the tax bill have paved the road to a decline in the overall tax rate.

If one factors in a 1.99 per cent increase in the town’s tax rate, Renfrew ratepayers will have a 1.47 per cent lower tax rate than they did in 2010.

“I would have liked it if we’d had even less of an impact,” said finance committee chair Gail Cole.

“But unfortunately we have reserves we have to replenish and lots of work that needs to be done.”

“I think it was as good as we could do,” concluded Mayor Bill Ringrose after the nearly three-hour budget session.

Treasurer Keray O’Reilly said he felt council achieved what it set out to do five months ago.

A bonus is the opportunity to continue or complete several more capital projects, with a capital budget of about $1.2 million.

In a more normal tax year, O’Reilly said road improvements to Duke and Prince streets, and to the Hall Avenue extension wouldn’t get done, “but with the ability to take a little more of the tax pie (with the lower education and county rates), we were able to do a few more things like that.”

New training facility in Arnprior

OPEN HOUSE

Non-surgical (non invasive) face/body lifts

Nice tax year for Renfrew residents Continued from front page In fact, the most heated discussions Tuesday dealt with smaller-dollar items.

Examples were the $15,000 for a dumping station for trailers at the tourist booth and $10,000 to develop a National Hockey Association/National Hockey League museum. On both issues, Coun. Tom Anderson had concerns.

He said his own Internet searches showed hundreds of trailer-dumping facilities for recreational vehicles are operated by gas stations and campgrounds, and not by municipalities.

Other councillors, particularly Jim Miller, argued the dumping facility would be one more reason for tourists to visit the town and spend their time and money here.

Anderson was also critical of the NHA/ NHL project, namely the business plan that he said lacked details and consistency. He was the only councillor to oppose passage of that item.

Six of seven council members attended the Tuesday session. Family matters prevented Reeve Audrey Green from attending.

Upcoming capital costs will include an estimated minimum of $20,000 each of the next 10 years for town hall improvements. But that work, or setting aside reserves for such projects, are not scheduled to start until 2012. This year’s building improvement projects include $25,000 for painting the Canada Post portion of the post office building, as agreed upon in its recent lease agreement.

The fire department’s capital costs will be minimal. It will purchase a $34,000 service vehicle, after transferring its own used vehicle to the recreation department.

A bigger-ticket item in 2012 (or 2013) will be the estimated $850,000 to replace its aerial-ladder truck. In 2011, the fire department will also spend $17,000 to replace dysfunctional air bags for its extrication unit.

One of the biggest capital costs will be $300,000, to be spent on the landfill site’s diversion program and diversion containers, in efforts to sharply increase the life of the landfill.

Development and works director Mike Asselin estimated the landfill has about 20 years of space left, unless something can be done to divert materials that shouldn’t be entering the landfill.

Actually, council rejected spending all

$300,000 in 2011. Instead, council followed up by deciding to spend $200,000 in 2011 and the remaining $100,000 in 2012.

Also in the area of development and works, budget expenditures will include $12,000 for change and washroom facilities in the old town garage, and another $10,000 for a smaller-vehicles hoist.

Capital items for roads and infrastructure will include $52,500 for the 340-metre sidewalk extension on Hall Avenue, toward Gillan Road; $100,000 for the Hall Avenue extension across the ravine; $73,000 for paving on Duke Street; and $175,000 for paving on two sections of Prince Street (from Raglan to Argyle, and from Lochiel to Bonnechere).

To prepare for future infrastructure revitalization, council forecasts it will set aside $250,000 in 2012, and increase that amount by two per cent each of the next several years, or to $290,000 by 2020.

Several recreation items were also approved, including a $16,000 energy audit.

“It’s the right thing to do in today’s energy environment,” said Asselin.

Other recreation projects are $32,000 to replace the 21-year-old dehumidifier at the hockey arena, after the other dehumidifier was replaced in 2010.

Another $60,000 or so will be spent on a Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre feasibility study, with or without a successful grant application, and $28,000 will go to replace the rink’s aging second compressor.

Other capital costs include $25,000 to upgrade the library’s antiquated cataloguing system.

SAMPLES OF SAVINGS Near the end of treasurer O’Reilly’s Power Point budget presentation, he supplied several examples of the small increases or decreases in taxes for members in the residential, industrial and commercial classes.

In the case of industrial property assessed at $2.1 million this year and last, taxes would drop $13,015 to $121,758.

Residential examples included the case of a house assessed at $126,000 last year and $133,500 this year. Its taxes will rise $84. For another industrial building, whose assessment value rose from about $24,000 to $25,000, taxes will drop $87.

For another residence whose assessed value rose from $232,500 to $255,750 in the past year, taxes would rise $195, for a total tax bill of $3,822.

Laurie Millar of Renfrew is being called a hero, after receiving a Heroes in the Home Caregiver Recognition Award.

She was among 10 Renfrew County area recipients honoured by the Champlain Community Care Access Centre during a May 10 ceremony in Pembroke.

But Laurie insists the award really belongs to her entire family.

“It’s not a recognition of me, it’s recognition of our family,” she says of herself, husband Jim, son Curtis and daughter Sarah.

Even better, she hopes the awards help create awareness of the contributions of caregivers who are looking after sons, daughters, husband, grandparents or other family members.

“You go through stages,” says Laurie of the challenges faced bringing up a child with such medical challenges.

Those challenges are likely to increase, too, when she graduates from elementary school in a couple more years.

“Then she comes home fulltime,” says Laurie, “and I become mom and physiotherapist.”

Laurie’s also a bookkeeper, who works out of the family home for her husband, who is a financial planner.

There’s also some time for personal pursuits, such as volleyball and sitting on Community Living Renfrew County South’s board of directors.

“Now and then we think of how life might have been different,” admits Laurie. “But I think (mainly) of how different Sarah’s life might have been.

“When you bring that baby home (from the hospital) with such challenges, it changes what you think of as normal … It’s

just our normal is a bit off the wall.”

Like the times Sarah loses her temper, and decides, in her mom’s words, to kick up a stink: “The (wheel) chair does a little bit of hoppin’ and boppin’.”

Life’s also not so normal when Laurie’s in public with her daughter and people ask how old her daughter is. When they hear that she’s a teenager, they’re often taken aback.

That’s when Laurie says she tries “to draw people in” and invites them to ask questions about her condition. Public encounters can be eye-openers in other ways, too, since Laurie says people often incorrectly assume that Sarah wants to be touched.

As Laurie tries to politely remind others, most people can move away from someone who enters their personal space, but Sarah doesn’t have that option.

“If she likes you, she has the cutest little smile,” says Laurie.

But if you invade her space, and she reacts negatively, you’ll hear about it with screaming and shaking.

That’s one lesson Sarah will impart on visitors, but there’s another, too.

“I think she’s taught us a lot,” says her mom.

“She has taught us to appreciate what we have, and to appreciate that everyone has potential.

But not everyone’s potential is the same, so you become more tolerant of everyone.”

Most importantly, Laurie says her daughter is better off than many people might imagine.

“In Sarah’s own little world, she’s happy, and that’s our ultimate goal − quality of life and happiness.”

For example, when Sarah laughs it’s with a deep belly laugh.

And when she smiles, it’s a beaming smile, often with both eyes closed. As her mom says, it’s a priceless look, “because she’s mine.”

The Fraser Institute has given high marks to Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School for its EQAO (Education Quality and Accountability Office) test results for Grades 3 and 6.

In a ranking of 29 Renfrew County schools for the 2009-10 school year, the Renfrew elementary school had a 9.4 rating out of 10. That was good for second place behind St. Joseph’s Catholic School of Arnprior that scored 9.7.

Nationally, St. Joseph’s ranked 29th and Our Lady of Fatima was 44th among 2,733 schools.

The county’s top five elementary schools in the 2009-10 rankings are completed by third-place John XXIII of Arnprior (9.3), Holy Name Catholic School of Pembroke (7.7) and Cobden District Public School (7.5). St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic School of Renfrew was eighth with a score of 6.9.

For rankings based on the past five years, Arnprior elementary schools John XXIII and St. Joseph’s were 1-2 with respective scores of 9.2 and 8.9.

Our Lady of Fatima ranked fourth overall, with a score of 7.7.

“It’s only one measure of how schools are doing, but ... it speaks to the collaboration and dedication of the teachers and the students,” said Our Lady of Fatima principal Jeannie Armstrong.

Third-place T.W. Morrison Public School of Deep River scored 7.9. The next Renfrew school was St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic School, with a sixth-place 7.0.

WEBSITE TO COMPARE DATA Visit www.compareschoolrankings.org to see the scores for Ontario’s elementary and secondary schools.

Michael Thomas, the Fraser Institute associate director of school performance studies, says the report cards are the No. 1 source for objective, reliable information about how Ontario secondary and elementary schools stack up in terms of academics.

Thomas is also co-author of the Report Card on Ontario’s Secondary Schools 2011 and the Report Card on Ontario’s Elementary Schools 2011.

“By displaying individual school results for the past five years, the report card offers a ‘motion picture’ indicating whether a school has improved or de-

clined over time,” explained Thomas in a news release.

“The idea is that every school is capable of improvement, and that everybody should have easy access to clear, up-todate information about the performance of schools province-wide.”

One “motion picture” the report card reveals is a reduction in the percentage of secondary school exams scoring below the provincial standard over the past five years, dropping to 26.9 per cent in 2009/2010 from 29.3 per cent in 2005/2006.

“This is a promising trend for Ontario schools,” said Thomas.

“But with more than a quarter of exams still falling below the provincial standard, there is room for academic improvement across the province.”

Thomas also says one purpose of the report card is to highlight schools that have improved, and encourage them to share their recipe for success.

“When two different schools have student populations with similar personal and family characteristics, but there’s a big gap in exam results, parents and educators should be looking for ways to reduce this disparity,” he added.

HIGH SCHOOL PERFORMANCES The top five Renfrew County secondary schools scores for 2009-10 are St. Joseph’s Catholic High School (of Renfrew) 7.8, Arnprior District High School 7.6, Jeanne Lajoie of Pembroke 7.2, and Renfrew Collegiate Institute and Mackenize High School of Deep River, each at 7.1.

With a score of 6.2, Opeongo High School, near Cobden, is eighth of 11 Renfrew County secondary schools.

The St. Joseph’s score left the Renfrew high school 79th and ADHS 105th among 727 Ontario schools.

When comparing results for the last five years, ADHS is 148th among 693 Ontario schools. RCI and Mackenzie are 223rd, St. Joe’s 301st and Jeanne Lajoie 326.

Opeongo is eighth of 11 high schools in the county with its five-year ranking of 397th.

Among 65 countries/economies and 10 Canadian provinces that participated in the 2009 PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) international testing, Ontario ranked sixth in combined reading, 10th in science, and 14th in mathematics.

Waiting, waiting, waiting ... to return to Slave Lake STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

It’s a waiting game now for thousands of Slave Lake, Alta., residents.

Those include Renfrew natives Carol Murphy Baker and husband Peter who remain unable to return to their fire-ravaged northern Alberta community.

Carol has maintained contact with her parents, Lois and Garry Murphy of Renfrew, since their evacuation from Slave Lake on May 14. At the time, the fire was turned on its heels by strong winds before destroying many sections of town.

But not the home of the Bakers in one of the worst Alberta community fires ever.

In the past week, they have received several verified reports their home has survived the inferno.

Better still, their son Brandon’s pet snake, Napolean, was rescued from the basement.

Meanwhile, Carol is back working for Northern Lakes College, but from long distance.

“Some amazing people went into the danger zone, pulled out servers and set them up at another campus,” explained Carol by email.

“We have over 20 campuses all over the north, so the college isn’t shut down over this disaster −but many of our communities have been affected.”

While talking to The Mercury, Carol predicted that the stated return date of May 28 (Saturday) for Slave Lake residents would be extended, simply because of the extent of damage in town.

Some residents have been bused back to town, but Carol says the return trip has had a numbing effect on several of them because of the extent of the fire damage.

Meanwhile, the exchange of fire stories

continues.

“We all exchange stories of living the experience of getting out, and how frightening it was,” she told The Mercury.

“Technology has been my sanity through all of this,” she says via email. “I don’t know what I would have done without Facebook and texting. I’ve stopped sleeping with my phone, but checking email and Facebook is still the first thing I do in the morning and the last thing I do at night … The Internet can be and has been used for a lot of negative stuff, but in this case it has helped keep our community together, even though we are scattered across the province.”

Now the waiting game continues.

“As far as this week, it’s just waiting to see when we’re going to get back … We hear people complaining about local people not being allowed to get (back) in.”

But she suggests photos and stories of the massive damage is reason enough to wait until it’s safe to return.

In fact, she says photos on the walls of the local police station show the extensive flood damage caused in the 1980s. Some photos show cars partly submerged in water. But Carol says there will plenty of new photos to put up on the walls, to show the great fire of 2011.

As for friends and other residents back in Renfrew, she says, “I know there are people in Renfrew who have done things (to help out).”

If people want to help, she suggests they support the Red Cross or other organizations involved in the community’s recovery.

As for down the road, Carol optimistically ended one of her emails, “We don’t know when this will be all over, but there is a lot of hope from people that Slave Lake will come out of this stronger and better.”

News A significant previously-delayed private member’s bill received a rare second and third reading on Thursday afternoon, May 19, in the Legislature at Queen’s Park, Toronto.

The decision was followed by moving and passionate votes of approval from all three parties in the house.

Because Kay and Dave Lorente had founded Home Children Canada two decades ago, they were invited, along with other descendants of the little immigrants, to be in the member’s gallery to observe the event and to be photographed after the bill was passed with the mover, Jim Brownell, MPP for Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry, and the others.

Once the bill is signed it will become law and encourage all in Ontario to celebrate each year on the 28th of September the memory, fortitude, resilience, perseverance and accomplishments in peace and in war of the hitherto generally unheralded vast majority of the 100,000 mere British Children who settled in this province. Most were only 4 to 14 years old and they were not, as some commonly believe, all orphans. The one thing they had in common was that they and their families, if they had one, were destitute and in the poor house or fugitives from it.

They were taken from parents or workhouses and other situations deemed dangerous by churches and philanthropists who saw greater hope for them in the former colonies where they believed wide open spaces and hard work would produce good citizens. Some 30,000 girls were sent “to go into service” as mothers’ helpers. The boys came as farm hands and potential loyal citizens of the crown who would join up when the Empire or Commonwealth needed them and the threat of another post Wars of 1812-1814 invasion from the U.S.A. was over.

The British Child Migration movement has a 350-year history, but the era the On-

Seeking local voice for Renfrew County United Way STEVE NEWMAN

David and Kay Lorente of Renfrew, front and centre, joined others to celebrate the naming of Home Child Day last Thursday in the Ontario Legislature. tario Government honours started two years after Confederation in 1869 when suffragette Maria Rye brought her first group of children to “Our Western Home” – a re-vamped jail in Niagara-on-the-Lake where the local historical marker erected by a previous provincial government years ago mentions only the jail and fails to mention that it became the first receiving-distribution home in Canada for the little immigrants. Such were the times; locals then feared that mere mention of “home children” would ‘open up that can of worms’ and conjure up visions of child abuse that certainly occurred at times between 1869 and when the last child arrived in 1948.

Locals and visitors to Renfrew are invited to see the first historical plaque in Canada to commemorate Home Children beside the main entrance to Renfrew’s Public Library. It was erected in 1994 by the former Heritage Renfrew’s Home Children Committee, which is now Home Children Canada. The now independent HCC Committee has also erected a plaque at Pier 21, and had a hand in having a provincial plaque erected in 1998 at the former St. George’s Receiving Home in Ottawa, a federal plaque in Stratford, Ont. and has contributed to a plaque at Peterborough.

Renfrew County United Way is looking for one Renfrew-area resident for its board of directors, and perhaps one or two more residents for its community advisory committee.

Chairman Bob French and executive director David Studham visited Renfrew council May 9 to emphasize they weren’t looking for money, but for local input into how to better service the area.

“We have strong campaigns across the county in the work places,” French told Renfrew council while noting that for the first year ever, in 2010, Renfrew County United Way raised more than $500,000.

After addressing council members, French and Studham said they weren’t looking to recruit municipal council members who are already busy enough.

But, because Renfrew County United Way is changing the focus on how it spends its money, it wants more input from the county’s different communities. At present, there is no Renfrew-area member on its board of directors.

Meanwhile, health and social services remain the No. 1 priority, as Renfrew County United Way continues to fund 11 member agencies, including the Bernadette McCann House Foundation, The Grove (nursing home in Arnprior) and the Renfrew County Red Cross. Funds in the past have gone for a wide variety of services to address such varied issues as seniors’ foot care and abused women.

In the past, the local United Way supported agencies and organizations that focus on prevention and development services in one or more of these six priority areas − health and social services, child poverty, safe and affordable housing, youth, seniors, and transportation.

By 2013, the focus will move to funding “root causes” in those same areas. As examples, in safe and affordable housing,

a focus will be on homelessness; in the area of youth, a focus will be on vulnerable, disconnected youth ages 15 to 21.

In the autumn of 2011, Renfrew County United Way hopes to move closer to identifying funding needs with a series of youth-based focus groups. Group members will include vulnerable youth.

In its six priority areas, Renfrew County United Way will strive to make more of a difference through a combination of funding and partnerships.

Studham noted that United Way doesn’t have “all the resources to deal with all the root causes. We don’t have all the money, and money doesn’t do it all.”

Renfrew County United Way will make calls for proposals in 2012. “Up to 2013,” Studham told The Mercury, “we will be providing program funding to a set number of agencies. Most of them are addressing crises, and we as a society will always have to deal with these basic human needs. “But we have to start moving up the ladder to deal with underlying causes.”

Studham says that by 2013 any Renfrew County charity offering health and social services will be eligible for funding, but that its needs will have to include at least one of United Way’s six strategic priority areas. In one form or another, Renfrew County United Way has been registered since 1971. Anyone interested in volunteering as a board or committee member is asked to call the Renfrew County United Way office at 613-735-0436.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Kindness not natural

More than money matters

To the editor: Re: last week’s letter, Having the courage to be happy.

I sympathize with you, Allison. Everything you said is right on. But Allison, only a mutation in the human genome in the right direction will change hu-

F

inancial incentives are nice, but not everything.

Last week AdmastonBromley township council got a comprehensive rundown on doctor recruitment initiatives both locally, and provincially.

And while it was agreed financial incentives are a welcome component to attracting physicians, two other factors outrank cash.

The first is quality of life. The second is spousal employment opportunity.

We believe Renfrew and area has pretty well nailed down the quality-of-life component. There are clear advantages to the smalltown, rural spirit this region offers. Team that up with a firstclass medical facility such as Renfrew Victoria Hospital and you can see the appeal.

But there’s more. The Renfrew area is also less than an hour away from all the amenities Ottawa has to offer, plus rugged wilderness like Ottawa River whitewater and the world-renowned Algonquin Park.

The Renfrew and Area Health Services Village is about more than just hiring doctors.

It’s about creating happy, prosperous lives for those who choose to live here and invest their time, talent and pay cheques in our communities. It’s about economic development.

Another key driver to relocation is spousal job opportunity. It can’t be stressed enough that local employment matters. We must do everything we can to develop employment opportunities.

We look forward to seeing our new majority federal government reward the people of RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke – who have given their unwavering support to PM Stephen Harper and MP Cheryl Gallant from their earliest days – with the job-creation support they so richly deserve.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Women’s institutes urge people to buy local To the editor: Recently I have become very concerned about the food we eat.

A year ago, our Women’s Institute branch started investigating the situation whereby small abattoirs and meat plants were closing at an alarming rate in Ontario. Since then, we have done much research and learned much.

The standards for food produced in Ontario are very high – producers are restricted as far as chemicals, processes and facilities they can use to produce our food.

But that is not the case in other places around the world.

Look at what you are buying. If the label says “Packaged for ... Ltd., …Ontario” that likely means that the food was grown, and likely processed somewhere other than in Ontario – and that be anywhere, and using anything! The packaging likely cost more than the food itself, so it can be called a Canadian product.

For example – a can of peaches bearing a Canadian label likely has fruit which was grown and processed somewhere other than here, and cost the packager about 25 cents.

It arrives in Canada in barrels and is put into a can or jar in sanitary conditions and labelled Canadian. Following Canadian standards, a farmer here cannot produce those peaches for 25 cents a can – nor would I expect them to!

This year, by Feb. 12, the average Canadian family had earned enough to buy all the

food they will eat all year!

How long do you suppose it took us to earn enough for all the things we don’t need; at least, we don’t need as badly as we need healthy food? And what are we doing to our ability to feed ourselves in this country?

There are things we can do as consumers.

Talk to the employees, managers and owners/franchise-holders where we buy our food and push for honest, valid answers.

Example – meat that displays the crest and the words “Canada Grade A” will also have a number in the circle. That number can tell the vendor what country the meat came from. “Canada Grade A” only means that it met Canadian standards for things such as marbling – nothing to do with where it came from or what chemicals and processes might have been used in its production.

Consider what we buy – do I really need strawberries all year round? Especially when they could have been irrigated with sewage-infested water? Why not really enjoy Ontario berries in season (if you can find them in your grocery store!) and freeze, preserve or make jam for the rest of the year? And this applies to much more than berries!

Think about where we buy our food.

There are 100-mile stores which sell only food produced locally. Some independents also sell locally produced food as much as possible. Ask! Buying directly from the producer allows you to see where and how the food is pro-

duced and to ask questions. Farmers’ Markets often make this easy. Your local Food Link or Culinary Association will be able to help you find local food producers.

CSA (Community Shared/Sponsored/ Suppported Agriculture) is also out there.

As a consumer, I pay the producer a set amount for my share of the season’s produce – and I can see it growing!

Grow our own. Maybe share with a friend – I put tomatoes in pots or bags on my sunny deck while one friend grows beans and another has room for carrots and onions.

We can talk to elected officials and those looking for our votes this fall – What are they going to do about honest labelling of our food so we can choose to buy local, accountable food if we wish? And how would they support local food supply?

Watch for information meetings in the area and come out to learn. We have found a number of groups who are interested in secure food supply for us Ontarions – Sustain Ontario, Weston A. Price Foundation, Women’s Institutes, Food Links, Culinary Associations, general farm groups such as CFFO, EFO, NFU, OFA, to name a few. Consider signing petitions, writing letters or whatever you can.

As consumers, we MUST think about what we put into our stomachs. Our health depends on it and our families deserve safe, healthy food! Respectfully, Barb Klages Elmwood

50+ community showcase this weekend at 433 Wing JUDY EWART

Seniors’ Home Support

On Saturday, May 28 Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support hosts its first annual 50+ Community Showcase at the Renfrew Wing at 164 Argyle St., Renfrew from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The event is designed to bring service providers, businesses, recreational groups, community groups and healthcare agencies together in one place so people aged 50-plus can see what resources are available in the community for them.

“We are quite excited about this event as we have over 40 tables booked and a good mix of groups coming out,” says Renfrew and Area Home Support executive director Judy Ewart.

“In addition, we are asking all presenters to have a free draw at their table. Guest speakers have also been arranged.”

Simultaneous presentations will be as follows: 10:15 to 11 a.m. – Heritage Renfrew on research facilities and what they’re about, or Osteoporosis Bone Health.

11 a.m. – Smart Care fun and attractive clothing; 11:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. – Bereaved Families of Ontario Seniors and Grief or United Way energizing community; 12:15 to 1 p.m. – Medigas Home Safety or Service Ontario old-age pension and Canada Pension; 1 to 2 p.m. – fashion show; 2:25 to 3 p.m.– Goulet Funeral Home funeral pre-planning or REAPAC, keeping yourself safe from abuse; and 3 to 3:45 p.m. – Money Concetpts retirement income or Alzheimer Society, heads up for healthier brains.

The Wing is putting on a luncheon special for people and we will be having a 50/50 draw.

There will be two fashion shows – 11 a.m. with Smart Care clothing (regular and special needs clothing plus red hat accessories) and then at 1 p.m. with Douglas Moore and Fraser’s. Admission is free and everyone is welcome to attend.

We are emphasizing the 50+ age group, as many of them are dealing with senior parents or may be getting to a point in their lives when their children are leaving home and they have more time for themselves to become involved in their community.

The businesses attending are Scentsy, Watkins, Medigas, Jockey Person to Person, Goulet Funeral Home, Bide-a-While, Smart Care Clothing, The Pampered Chef, Money Concepts, Rawleigh Products, Epicure/Tupperware and Jim Millar Financial.

Community groups attending are Women’s Institute, RVH Auxiliary, Renfrew County United Way, Legion, Heritage Renfrew, Wing, LAFT and Friends of Victoria’s Quilts.

Healthcare/health-oriented providers at the show will be the MS Support Group, The Canadian Hearing Society, RVH Sleep Products, Osteoporosis Canada, Alzheimer Society, REAPAC (Elder Abuse), BFO Pembroke, Bayshore Home Health, Marianhill (audiologist), Friends of the Disabled/Sunshine Coach, Women’s Sexual Assault Centre, CNIB, Emergency Services of Renfrew County, Geriatric Mental Health and Renfrew Home Support.

Retirement Homes attending are Arnprior Villa, Island View Suites, Quail Creek and Renfrew Glen.

Continued from Page 5 Eligible projects are those that will take no more than a day to complete. Popular projects are usually those that involve fun, some work outside, low to no cost, and an experience that is a little different from the volunteers’ everyday activities. The project could involve painting or clean-up, delivering groceries to isolated seniors, fixing a play structure, hosting a holiday party, or raising funds through a yard or garage sale – to list but a few possibilities.

Here’s how it works. Local charities identify their project needs to the United Way well in advance of the event dates. The United Way will then post a project summary on its website that identifies the host agency, the type of projects available and the number of volunteers needed by

Relay fundraiser at SJCHS On June 3 to 4, from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., a group of students and staff from St. Joseph’s Catholic High School will be going to participate in Petawawa’s Relay for Life. Relay for Life is a cancer research fundraiser that brings participants together to spend a night in support of those who are struggling, or have struggled, with cancer.

At the Petawawa Relay for Life, there will be many activities that people can participate in including; an indoor rock climbing wall, a swimming pool, karaoke, and the walking track.

People are welcomed to walk on the track, which is lit by candles which spell hope, all night and there is a stage set up for local entertainers to perform. All of these activities are great to have because they bring together a community of people. Whether they know each other or not, they will all be there for one main reason, to help fight cancer.

Leading up to this event, St. Joe’s has been doing all they can to raise money. On Saturday, May 7, a group of students collected donations in Renfrew’s downtown Metro. They helped cashiers bag customer’s items and customers would donate money to our Relay for Life fund. Between the hours of 9:30 a.m. and 3 p.m., we were able to raise a total of $607.53. We would like to thank Metro for letting

Term number two is drawing to a close even though it feels like I have only been here for two weeks. Can 200 days have really passed? Summer is almost here and I am loving the little glimpses of sunny weather we have seen, but we are already starting to think about the fall sports’ line-up!

Call them beginners, rookies, new-guys, whichever, Grade 7, 8 and 9s are all welcome to sign up for a football clinic that’s to be held June 7 to 9, and continuing June 14 to 16 (one clinic, spread over two weeks). No experience is necessary; all are welcome.

For more information, talk to one of our coaches: Mr. Edwards, Mr. Currie, Mr. Stewart, or Mr. Oegema. The six practice days will focus on both offensive and defensive aspects of the game, as well as teaching the basics such as passing and tackling.

Saturday, June 17 will be game day, a chance for the players to put what they’ve learned to action and parents to come out and have a look at the future Raiders.

One of those things that parents always seem to tell you when you’re in high school seems to go along the lines of, “No, I won’t let you stay home from school today just because you didn’t finish your science review, even if the test is this morning. You should know by now that you can’t run from your problems!” And they were right.

But what would happen if you could run for a problem? If something was really an issue in your life, tearing your family apart, slowly taking a loved one?

No one can run from the cruel reality of cancer, but can we run for it?

Relay For Life, a Canadian Cancer Society event, is again being held at Ma-Te-Way this May 27, as cancer survivors, fighters, and those whose loved ones who lost their fight with cancer rally to raise money to make cancer history.

Each relay team member is expected to raise $125 for the cause, and meeting the bare minimum has never been a Raider trait.

Judging by what I’ve heard about previous relays, and from the success of the Cancer Carnival, I know that everyone is going to do the best they can to support the fight against cancer and meet the goal of $90,000.

Each student in the primary grades used their natural inquisitiveness to come up with a question they were wondering about

Questions ranged from good ol’ classics such as Why is the sky blue? Why is grass green? How many planets are there? and How do leaves grow? to unusual but fascinating topics such as Why do ships sink? What are black holes? How many parts are there in the human body? and Why can cheetahs run so fast?

On May 4, the students brought their completed projects to school and displayed them at the Wonder Exhibition.

There were models, plants, experiments, dioramas, videos and much more.

Family members, other students, and members of the community were in attendance, ad-

Renfrew County Warden Bob Sweet was practically speechless. He didn’t know what to say when Greater Madawaska Mayor Peter Emon suggested Renfrew County councillors extend their successful weight-loss campaign.

They had just learned, during the April 27 meeting of county

council, that they had lost close to 180 pounds, as part of the Slim Till You Win competition with Lanark County, when Emon suggested county councillors and staff extend the program to the end of the year.

“This is until the end of December?” asked Sweet, who lost 15 pounds during the event.

Emon nodded, then Sweet smiled and replied, “Let’s think about that.”

Nevertheless, Emon, who lost 25 pounds during Slim Till You Win, said he’ll soldier on with at least three other Renfrew County colleagues – McNabBraeside Mayor Mary Campbell, Miramichi Lodge administrator Shelley Sheedy and Renfrew County chief paramedic Mike Nolan.

The goal, for the foursome and anyone who wants to join them, is to raise pledges. The person

losing the most weight by late December 2011 would put the money toward purchasing a defibrillator at a location of his or her choice.

The foursome initiated their campaign just after Shawna Babcock’s presentation at the same April 27 meeting of county council. She spoke about the need for healthy-living practices to touch every sector of society.

Expo 150 all fenced in

Fred Blackstein, and led by Captain Alicia Saucier, the military took the opportunity to mark the site as part of a training exercise. The entire perimeter fence was in place in about four hours.

This is the first major involvement of CFB Petawawa in Expo 150, but it won’t be its last.

CFB Petawawa has also committed to providing dusk-to-dawn surveillance a few days before, and through to the day after, Expo 150.

And, at more than five acres, the military will have the largest exhibit on the Expo 150 grounds.

The first major physical activity leading up to Expo 150 took place May 19 with the establishment of 21 acres of perimeter fencing.

Thanks to the work of 50 soldiers from Canadian Forces Base Petawawa, more than 4,300 feet of fence was secured at the Pembroke & Area Airport. This marked the official grounds for the largest local festival ever to take place in Renfrew County.

“The sustainability provided by planting more trees is symbolic of our prosperity, past, present and future,” added Sweet.

“This is a special anniversary and we are planting these trees to also celebrate our past and unite us further as a community.”

County staff point out that the County of Renfrew has continued to be a leader in forest sustainability and was recently honoured with an Ontario Forest Industries Association award.

With the help of the county’s forestry services, trees are being planted all over the county.

These sites include the new Sesquicentennial Forest, which was named for the 150th anniversary.

A tree for every municipality More trees are being planted across the County of Renfrew in recognition of its 150th anniversary.

A group of Expo 150 committee members gathered at the County of Renfrew administration building May 17 to plant a young sugar maple to acknowledge the upcoming Expo 150 celebrations.

The 17 municipalities that make up Renfrew County council were also delivered a tree to be planted at their municipal buildings.

The plantings are in keeping with the county motto of Floreat Arbor, which means Let the Tree Flourish.

“These are the words written in our county logo. Trees are a valuable resource in Renfrew County and have been for the past 150 years,” said Renfrew County Warden Bob Sweet, who’s also the Expo 150 chairman.

Good day for RCI at Options 2011 Renfrew Collegiate students made April 28 a big day to be a Raider during Options 2011 at the Pembroke Memorial Centre.

The Options Skilled Trades Fair is an opportunity for high school students to showcase their talents and skills in the area of technological studies.

This year’s event had more than 300 competitors from the Renfrew County District and Renfrew County Catholic District school boards.

RCI produced four first- and

two third-place finishes.

First were Andrew Corcoran in small engines; Jacob Bell and Chris Roffey in two-man team carpentry; Kelsie Rodden in nail art; and the team of Kurt Nolan, Jeremy Riopelle, Nick Hildebrand and Jake Donohue in fourman team carpentry category.

Briana Bingham in braiding and Rebecca Neudorf in cabinet making were third.

Neudorf was the only female in her category. Twenty-one RCI students competed overall.

Construction is about to begin on the new Algonquin College in the Ottawa Valley Campus following a ceremonial sod turning today at Pembroke’s waterfront. With great excitement, the sod turning took place in front of nearly 400 community members, many of them business people from the city’s downtown and donors to the College’s capital campaign, who are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new campus.

Campus Dean, Karen Davies, called it a “glorious day.” “This community has waited a long time for us to put a shovel in the ground, and we are so excited to see the start of construction on our new campus. This is going to be an extraordinary building that will serve our community well for many years to come,” adds Davies.

Construction on the new campus is expected to begin within the next few weeks, following

Design for the new Algonquin College in Pembroke. site plan approval by the City of Pembroke. The $36-million project was approved by the College’s Board of Governors in November of 2008, and is to be completed by the fall of 2012.

Among the many features of the new campus is Renaissance Hall, a focus point in the building that will be a gathering place that will include a Student Commons, Cafeteria, and Student Services. The Kathleen and F. Allan Huckabone Library is

a two-story space that will face the Ottawa River and will be located near the front entrance of the building. The campus also includes three nursing labs, a science lab, and fourteen classrooms, all built to meet the expectations of students in today’s technologically-driven learning environment.

The team of Giffels Corporation and NORR Architects has been chosen to design and build the new campus. Giffels VicePresident, Tim Fitzpatrick, who attended the sod turning says: “We are extremely pleased to be building in the Ottawa Valley and we look forward to calling upon local sub-contractors and tradespeople to help us build this facility from the first day of construction to the day the campus opens next year.”

McGregor top rookie athlete at Dalhousie PETER CLARK

peter.clark@metroland.com

Adam McGregor has left quite a mark on Dalhousie University, and it’s only his first of four years there.

The Renfrew Collegiate Institute grad was named male rookie-of-theyear in cross-country for Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) in the Atlantic Conference for the fall season of 2010-11.

The Dalhousie Tigers cross-county and track and field runner then capped off the season when honoured by the Halifax university at the 57th annual Black & Gold Athletic Awards Banquet March 31 as the school’s top first-year male athlete.

“The conference award was collectively for all the races, and it came down to me and two other rookies, so I had a feeling,” McGregor recalled.

“The one (award) at the athletic banquet caught me totally by surprise.”

McGregor competed in six races in both cross-country and on the track.

“We raced basically every Saturday, and put in six days a week (including practices),” he said.

Cross-country events included Montreal, Fredericton, St. Francis Xavier for the Atlantic Conference championship, and Sherbrooke for the CIS championship.

“We won all except the Canadian championship,” McGregor said.

McGregor finished ninth at SFX to help the Tigers win the Atlantic

Conference title. He was also the first rookie to finish, by five seconds over rookie teammate Jacob Moore, to clinch the rookie-of-the-year honour.

The former RCI Raider turned in a 16th-place finish in a Sherbrooke meet with parents John and JoAnn, and other family members, including Nana his grandmother, in attendance.

McGregor enjoyed a good opening year in track and field as well, helping the Tigers to another Atlantic Conference title. He was named a first-team all-star in the conference.

One of the many highlights of the season for McGregor was competing in the biggest indoor meet in Canada held in Montreal.

McGregor credits RCI Raider coaches Roger Poirier and Kathleen Mottershead for contributing to his success, as well as counterparts Heather Hennigar and Richard Lehman at Dalhousie.

He can also credit his Tiger mentors for allowing him to be in contention in the Ray’s Flowers Stanley Cup playoff draft.

“He had to get his draft in by 5 o’clock (that day),” McGregor’s father John said with a laugh. “He should have been studying, but the coach knew his marks were good so he said, ‘Let him go.’”

“It’s been a lot of fun,” Adam McGregor said of his first year. “Anyone Renfrew Collegiate Institute grad and former RCI Raider crosswho gets a chance to got to university country runner Adam McGregor holds the hardware he earned to play sports, I say, go. Definitely.” during his first year with the Tigers cross-country team at Dalhousie University in Halifax.

On May 28, Canadian Tire Corporation will be celebrating its third annual Jumpstart Day. Jumpstart is part of every community in which there is a Canadian Tire store.

It is a national charitable program that helps financially disadvantaged kids ‘get in the game’ by covering registration, equipment and/or transportation costs.

If the more common activities like hockey, soccer or baseball don’t tickle their fancy, your child can be introduced to an activity a bit different.

Martial arts, dance, swimming and gymnastics are just a few options, noted a Canadian Tire press release.

Let’s keep kids healthy inside and out and give kids a sporting chance.

One in three kids misses out in sports, the press release adds.

People can support Canadian Tire Jumpstart Day. For every dollar donated on May 28, Canadian Tire will contributed $2 to make your overall donation $3.

OPG powers First-Choice sets Rekindled team name down to three way to win at pace at Renfrew PETER CLARK Dragonfly

Ontario Power Generation (OPG) climbed into second place in Week 2 of the 2011 Dragonfly Golf Links Industrial League season last Tuesday (May 17) afternoon.

The Dragon Slayers were second and MacDonald Glass third.

Overall, Week 1 winner USS Manufacturing continues to set the pace in the 13-team league, with 30 points, three better then OPG and four in front of MacDonald Glass.

Rob Kimberley and Butch Brown were closest-to-the-pin winners.

First-Choice Hair Putters, Bonnechere Development Corporation and Classy Ladies continue to lead their flights in the Renfrew Golf Club’s ladies rec league with the conclusion of May 18 action. Ann Chatiauvert and Janet Robertson were random draw winners.

Dorothy Hicks and Lois Shubably were closest to the line, and Marsha Hale closest to the pin.

On the men’s side, Mid-Town Flooring, Deslaurier Custom Cabinets, Mulligans and MacKenzie Motors are flight leaders after May 16 action.

Draw winners were Dave Hall and Dave Gallagher. Tom Hyland and Mike Deslaurier were closest to the pin.

Next to the Stanley Cup playoffs, the biggest hockey story has been if and when the National Hockey League returns to Winnipeg.

As of Tuesday morning, the relocation of the Atlanta Thrashers to the Manitoba capital was still speculation.

But that hasn’t cut into the celebration at Portage and Main.

If Canada inherits its seventh franchise, the next question for team owners and fans will be a team name.

I have it narrowed down to three suggestions.

The most obvious, if course, is the Jets, and I believe most people of Winnipeg would also like to keep the old WHA/NHL Winnipeg Jets name also.

PETER’S PUTTERINGS

To add to their lore, the Jets won three Avco Cup titles in the brief seven-year history of the World Hockey Association in the 1970s.

A second possibility is the Thrashers. Perhaps there’s some karma here.

The team that won the Canadian National Midget Hockey championship a month or so back was called the Winnipeg Thrashers.

Also, the Thrashers name already exists with Atlanta.

The first time Atlanta lost its NHL franchise, Calgary maintained the Flames name.

Maybe Winnipeg will opt to do the same with Thrashers.

If the impending Winnipeg franchise elects not to go with Jets or Thrashers, I have a third option.

Roughriders. * * * Last week’s was kind of a trick question.

The Boston Bruins had no captain when they won the 1972 Stanley Cup. Johnny Bucyk, Phil Esposito, Ed Westfall and Ted Green served as assistant captains.

And for this week: Who was the Winnipeg Jets’ all-time leading point-getter during the club’s seven year history in the World Hockey Association?

Dunbar Petroleum stayed close (12-11) to Aikenhead’s until late in the first half. Aikenhead’s then gradually widened the gap until the Petroleum squad closed it to 28-22 with just over three minutes remaining. A scoreless final three minutes left Aikenhead’s with the victory.

TWO MID-TOWN WINS Mid-Town Flooring snipers were hot, with Sarah Dougherty, Kelsey Jessup, Amanda Brydges, and Hali Gilmour netting 20, 18, 11 and 10 points respectively.

This led to a 63-17 victory for Mid-Town over Dunbar Petroleum.

Mid-Town was hot again on the way to a 58-27 win over Signature Styles. Sarah Dougherty, Kelsey Jessup, Caitlin Dougherty, and Hannah Guty all scored in double figures.

Aikenhead’s gave the Reunions all they could handle, but couldn’t pull off the upset. The teams traded baskets for the first half, leaving Aikenhead’s with a 19-17 advantage. The Reunions took the lead early in the second half, and never lost it, finishing up 36-33. Mae Donohue scored over half of her team’s points with 21.

A two-person wrecking crew for the Reunions left Signature Styles on the short end of a 4219 decision. Mae Donohue shot the lights out for 25 points while Lindsay Edwards added 14.

On a night of high individual scoring, Cassie Jessup, with 21 points, led Ray’s Flowers to a 4727 victory over Signature Styles.

The Styles had a 21-14 lead midway through the first half but only managed three baskets in the last 24 minutes.

Signature Styles finished off their season by scoring 28 points. This wasn’t enough to counteract Frances-Lemke Cooperators, as all eight players combined to score 45 points. Tasha Latendresse led the Styles with 11 points.

The St. Joseph’s Jaguars were unable to bring the school a 2011 Renfrew County soccer championship, but none of the four teams went down without a battle.

The senior boys lost 1-0 to the Bishop Smith Crusaders in the semifinal at Riverside Park in Pembroke May 18. A goal in the final minute of extra time gave Bishop Smith the win. But as the last A school left standing, coach Mark Valliquette’s crew earned the right to represent the county at the Eastern Ontario (EOSSAA) high school senior boys soccer championship for A schools.

Josh Lamourie’s marker in extra time pushed St. Joseph’s past the Fellowes Falcons 1-0 in the Jaguars’ quarterfinal match.

Zach McIntyre provided shutout goalkeeping. “We’ll continue our strong defence and see where it gets us,” coach Valliquette said of EOSSAA Wednesday in Carleton Place.

The St. Joseph’s senior girls won their quarterfinal 2-1 over the Opeongo Wildcats before a 3-2 setback to the eventual county champion Arnprior Redmen in extra time eliminated

the Jaguars. The Jaguars then lost an EOSSAA qualifier 1-0 to the Madawaska Valley District Wolves.

Sarah MacLaren notched two goals on the day. Natalie Walters, who played every minute of all three games, and Abby Freemark, added singles for the Jaguars.

“The girls had a very good season,” coach Renee Turcotte said.

“We expended all our energy in the semifinal.

“Sarah Ennett played very well in goal,” the coach added.

The Jaguar junior girls reached the final but were nipped 2-1 by the Mackenzie Mustangs in a battle of A schools.

Candace Albanese scored for St. Joseph’s.

The Jaguars blanked the Bishop Smith Crusaders 4-0 behind two goals from Sonya Bergin and the shutout goalkeeping of Brittanee Mahusky. Holly Shannon and Albanese added single markers.

Although they couldn’t land a county title, Jaguars coach Linda Ainsworth was pleased with the level of compete in the girls. “It’s good to see the junior team playing quality soccer,” she said.

The Jaguar junior boys lost a tough decision in the quarterfinal to Opeongo. The Wildcats

edged coach Tim O’Connor’s crew 2-1 on penalty kicks.

The duo of Sonya Bergin and Holly Sammon captured the Renfrew County junior girls doubles tennis title at the Renfrew County championship in Petawawa. Laura Hagerman took the senior girls crown.

TRACK AND FIELD Five Jaguar athletes have qualified for the East Regional track and field meet this Friday and Saturday at the Terry Fox Facility in Ottawa.

Competing at the EOSSAA championship this past Thursday and Friday in Brockville, Sonya Bergin led the Jaguars’ surge by winning the midget girls discus event with a throw of 28.01 metres, and finishing fifth in the javelin at 21.98.

Shannon Charbonneau (30.15) and Kassandra Mulvihill (29.61) will represent St. Joseph’s following personal bests in the junior girls discus. They finished fourth and fifth respectively.

Sarah MacLaren placed fourth in the senior girls high jump by clearing the bar at 1.46 metres.

Jesse Vaive registered a fifthplace finish in the midget girls discus with a throw of 24.29 metres.

RCI Raiders senior girls nipped by a goal in Renfrew County soccer final PETER CLARK

peter.clark@metroland.com

The Renfrew Collegiate Raiders senior girls soccer team couldn’t get much closer to capturing a Renfrew County championship.

They battled the arch-rival Arnprior Redmen through two regulation halves and two overtime sessions with nary a goal being scored at the May 18 championship game at Pembroke’s Riverside Park.

But something had to give, and it was the Redmen who made the final strike during penalty kicks to win 1-0.

The Raiders blanked the Bishop Smith Crusaders and Madawaska Valley District Wolves 2-0 to reach the final.

Mae Donohue scored in both games while Maddie Kubiseski and Brianna Yolkowskie added solos.

Shelby Inglis earned the shutouts While coach Ed Oegema called the loss disheartening, it was also an excellent season.

“For those not returning (next year), thanks for the many great memories and for representing RCI so well,” he said.

The RCI junior girls turned back the Opeongo Wildcats 2-0 on goals by Jenna Cluett and Julie Gaddess, before losing a 1-0 cliffhanger in a shootout to the eventual champion Mackenzie Mustangs in the semifinal.

Cluett and Gaddess also scored on penalty kicks.

Chloe Eady and Drew Shalla shared goalkeeping for coach Oegema’s junior squad.

The senior boys won their quarterfinal 4-0 over Mackenzie before suffering a 1-0 setback to Arnprior in the semifinal.

Colton Nichol had three goals and Kurtis Oattes one in the win.

Abe Ellement posted the shutout for the Raiders. “(The team) did RCI proud, and worked right to the end,” coach Bill Currie observed.

The RCI junior boys lost their quarterfinal match to Bishop Smith 2-0.

Devin Clouthier, Blair MacK-

enzie, Skylar Kluke, Josh Thero and keeper Eric Vincent were the Raiders top performers.

With 13 players eligible to return next year, the future looks bright, coaches Todd Stewart and Adam Noack said.

TRACK AND FIELD At the Eastern Ontario (EOSSAA) high school track and field championships last week in Brockville, throwers, jumpers and distance runners led the way.

Mikaela Barnes, Taylor Wilson, Hillary MacMillan, Andrew Heaslip and Anthony Burton led RCI’s march as 17 individual or relay teams qualified for this week’s East Regional meet at the Terry Fox Facility in Ottawa.

EOSSAA gold medal-winning performances were turned in by Sarah Dougherty and Amanda Tubman.

Dougherty captured the senior girls discus with a throw of 34.05 metres, and Tubman led the midget girls shot put at 8.92 metres.

Trot for Crohn’s and Colitis COLLEEN BERRY Renfrew was abuzz with activity on May 7. It was also the date for the inaugural Trot for Crohn’s and Colitis, created to complement and promote donations for the M&M Meat Shops annual charity barbecue for the same cause.

Preceding the activity were informative talks given by two guests on the subject of inflammatory bowel disease. Local resident Leonard Chamberlain shared his knowledge and first-hand account of living day-to-day with the effects of his condition.

Stephen Smith of Manotick spoke of how Crohn’s and Colitis effects so many Canadians. “This topic is so near and dear to my heart,� as both he and his sister, Stacey, have lived with its conditions, pain and inconvenience since their youth. Stephen also has four other relatives who live with inflammatory bowel disease. He noted that the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada has also established a GPS application titled Can’t Wait which denotes complimentary and convenient accessibility to bathroom facilities for travellers who require urgent facility, www.ccfc.ca.

In attendance, we had people from Beachburg, Cobden, Manotick, Renfrew, Shawville and Stittsville.

The event was located on the same day and at a venue proximate to the meat shop’s barbecue.

Participants had the choice of walking or running a three- or five-kilometre course which started at Stewart Park and journeyed via the Millennium Trail to Ma-Te-Way Park, through the fitness trail, onto Opeongo road, then to Airth Boulevard and Raglan Street South residential areas. Most opted for the longer route, enjoying perfect conditions for a fun run.

Those who took the trail included members of Cobden area Whitewater Roadrunners, and local recreational runners and walkers. Refreshments were provided and draw prizes awarded.

Participation in this event was free, with donations directed to the M&M Meat Shops charity barbecue fundraiser.

Lorraine Hamilton, of Cobden and no stranger to Crohn’s and Colitis, was awarded by her teaching peers of Beachburg for her community involvement. So she decided the benefactor of would be the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada.

This event was made possible by the Renfrew Parks and Recreation Department, and Thompson’s Septic Tank Pumping Inc. Appreciation also goes to Debbie Fiebig, Lori Murdock, Sarah Philion, Cathy Moriarity and Patsy Berg for their assistance, our guest speakers and all participants for their enthusiasm.

Anyone interested in participating or volunteering for the 2012 event should contact Colleen Berry at 613-432-2841.

31 May 26, 2011 - The Renfrew Mercury

Best served hamburger ever It’s a surprise that ground beef for hamburgers hasn’t taken a big jump in price.

The prices paid for cull cows are at an all-time high. It’s up (on average) 17 cents a pound over last year at this time. And fewer cows going to market than a year ago.

Speaking of hamburger, did you see the news last week of the 57-year-old retired prison guard in Wisconsin who ate his 25,000th Big Mac, 39 years to the day after his first nine?

May 17, 1972 Don Gorske bought three Big Macs to celebrate the purchase of a new car. He was hooked, and went back to McDonald’s twice more that day, eating nine before they closed.

I was surprised how fit he looks – nothing like one might expect of a fast-food junkie. He walks regularly for exercise. He’s only gone eight days since without a Big Mac, and most days he eats two.

Among the reasons he skipped a day was to grant his mother a dying wish.

MAYNARD VAN DER GALIEN RURAL ROUTES

He is married. His last Big Mac-less day was Thanksgiving 2000, when he forgot to stock up and the restaurant was closed for the holiday.

What surprised me the most was the guy is an American, not a Canadian.

According to Consumer Reports magazine in the United States, McDonald’s hamburgers are a bomb.

The Golden Arches were the least preferred place to buy a burger, according to a survey last fall of 28,000 online subscribers who rated burgers at 18 fast food restaurants.

The survey was published in the magazine’s October issue.

Consumer Reports shot down McDonalds with its 14,000 restaurants, far preferring chains such as InN-Out Burger, with its 247 restaurants.

My wife and I toured California last October

and we found that hamburgers there are so different and so much better than in Canada.

I had enough fish and chowder meals while in San Francisco, so I wanted something different when we stopped at Sam’s Chowder House in Half Moon Bay for lunch, a 90-minute drive south of SF. The restaurant’s nestled on a cliff overlooking the Pacific.

With all the seafood on the menu, I ordered a hamburger. It was partly out of curiosity to see what kind one gets in a very busy classy ocean-front restaurant where you watch the crashing surf while eating.

It was the best burger I have ever had. Incredible! The burger was flame-broiled and huge.

You build or top your own burger with veggies and condiments you get with it. It was a meal in itself.

My wife and sister-inlaw (our driver) enjoyed seafood. Including the tip, our bill came to only $46.11 (Canadian).

Fine dining!

THIS WEEK’S FEATURE Renfrew and Area Seniors’ O'BRIEN RD. RENFREW

Students help to launch Nature in Your Neighbourhood STEVE NEWMAN

steve.newman@metroland.com

“We’re going to have fun exploring this watershed, and help other people learn what is so special about this area.”

The words come from Ole Hendrickson, president of the Ottawa River Institute, which is partnering with the Bonnechere River Watershed Project to bring a new project to the area.

Called Nature in Your Neighbourhood, the 18-month project is made possible with an $80,000 grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation.

The project was formally kicked off Friday at Rotary Park in Eganville where invited guests included MPP John Yakabuski, Shawna Babcock of KidActive and local businessman Chris Hinsperger whose business is located on the Bonnechere River.

Each spoke about the importance of connecting with the outdoors as a vital link to our physical and mental well-being.

“It’s a great project … (for) understanding and knowing the river and its watershed makes us a whole lot stronger partners in taking advantage of all the river has to offer,” said Yakabuski.

The MPP also said that understanding helps people appreciate the watershed’s environmental sensitivities and wonderful history, and reminds users to also be stewards of the river.

“I am sure the pilot project,” said Yakabuski’s congratulatory certificate to the project partners, “Nature in Your Neighbourhood, in the Bonnechere River watershed, will provide outdoor recreation and physical activity while encouraging conservation of the natural environment for visitors and area residents for years to come.”

Some of the project’s activities remain to be determined, but the grant will pay for staff salaries and activities. An example is the series to be produced for TV COGECO by college student and videographer Leo Freemark of Renfrew. Speakers at the opening ceremony included Eganville resident Guy Jamieson, as the Ontario Trillium Foundation spokesman. Jamieson said “supporting organizations and initiatives that are helping us to

promote a sustainable and green environment is fundamental to the (foundation’s) work” province-wide.

“We understand,” he added, “how important it is to encourage Ontarians to not only lead healthier lifestyles, but also to help protect the health of our surrounding ecosystem.”

Bonnechere Valley and Killaloe, Hagarty & Richards mayors Jennifer Murphy and Janice Visneskie applauded the project.

And Shawna Babcock, of KidActive, said the project can help change current statistics that show Canadian children spend far too much time in front of the TV and far too little time exercising or enjoying the outdoors.

Hendrickson acknowledged that Nature in Your Neighbourhood is still a work in progress, but said the emphasis is on getting people out in nature, whether it’s to such locations as the Eganville Rotary Park or the headwaters of the Bonnechere River, in Algonquin Park.

“A strong focus for this project is getting people active, reconnecting with nature or just maintaining our connections with nature,” said Hendrickson.

“How important that is for us as adults, and for children, for our physical development and our mental development, too …

It’s part of our evolutionary heritage to connect like this.”

Kathryn Lindsay, chairman of the Bonnechere River Watershed Project, said two definite projects will be interpretive material for river walks and similar events, and a series of Nature in Your Neighbourhood specials on TV COGECO about why the watershed is such a special place.

In an nutshell, Hendrickson said he hopes the project creates “awareness of the benefits of an active lifestyle in a natural setting in a healthy watershed, and engaging people of all ages, with a special focus on young people, to let them know about the diversity of natural settings, whether just in their own town or in the watershed as a whole.”

Doctor, doctor, give me the news More good news on doctor recruitment horizon LUCY HASS lucy.hass@metroland.com

There’s optimism in the local doctor recruitment camp these days.

The hint of pending announcements highlighted a presentation to Admaston-Bromley council last Thursday night.

Admaston-Bromley is one of four municipalities in the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village structure. The others are Renfrew, Horton and Greater Madawaska. Each has committed $25,000 per year for marketing to attract new doctors.

Cash incentives are being fundraised separately, with no tax dollars going into the financial enticements.

Health Services Village business development officer Norm Lemke said a target has been set to secure 14 doctors over five years.

“I think we’ve got some goodnew stories coming out in the not-so-distant future. They have not happened, but they will happen, I’m sure,” he told council.

Lemke teamed up with HealthForce Ontario community partnership co-ordinator Chris Farley Ratcliffe for a one-and-ahalf-hour presentation on doctor recruitment.

“This is probably one of the most unique ventures in Ontario these days,” Lemke told council, explaining the roots of the local health village initiative.

“The whole issue of doctor recruitment, while it is something that is very necessary for the individual, is equally important for the community as a whole; from a business point of view” Lemke said.

He said, on average, bringing in a new doctor generates about $1 million per year for that community. Some argue the impact is even greater – closer to $1.5- to $2-million.

“That’s a huge impact in a small community,” Lemke said.

Those numbers only solidified the Renfrew Industrial Commission’s decision to partner on what is clearly an economic development issue.

“The RIC came onside, indicating they would fund, in a substantial way,” Lemke said. “They recognized the economic importance to the community and decided that was something they should be very, very concerned about and very involved with.”

The business community has also come on board in a big way, through people like Karen Maxwell of Home Hardware, Kent Tubman of Tubman Marketing and Hessel VanderVelde of Scotiabank.

A $150,000 financial incentive package is comprised of $25,000

HealthForce Ontario community partnership co-ordinator Chris Farley Ratcliffe. per year per doctor, in return for five years of service, living in the community and giving priority to patients in the four member municipalities of the Health Services Village.

“Obviously, if the residents of those four communities are contributing to their incentive plan, it’s only fair that they be given priority in selection,” Lemke added.

He said $150,000 incentive program has “done tons” to help recruitment.

The Renfrew Industrial Commission has agreed to fund, on a per-doctor basis, $90,000 (60 per cent) of the incentive, one local business has pledged $10,000 per doctor, while the fundraising group headed by Maxwell is committed to raising the $50,000 balance.

Lemke lauded how local business has come onside, in a huge way.

“Business knows that if we don’t have doctors we’re not going to attract new people; and business is not going to come to town in the same way,” he said.

“If there aren’t reasonable medical resources in a community, they (business) know it’s going to be harder to get employees.

They know it’s going to be harder to keep employees.”

Lemke said some people with active, full-time jobs have actually moved out of the area because of the doctor shortage.

“It’s serious, it’s important and the business community has come to the fore,” he said.

Two doctors signed on last fall and begin work in the area in 2012. The 10-year recruitment program could accommodate another three doctors by the end of this year.

“The way the fundraising is going, we think we can do it,” said Lemke. “We have the docs that are a good fit. We just have to continue to raise the money at the same rate that we’re bringing the names forward,” he said.

In closing, Lemke stressed

that doctor recruitment is still very much an individual issue.

“We’ve heard from a number of folks on the line, when they call in to be on the database.

They’re in tears,” he said. “We, as Canadians, have never had to face this situation, ever, I think as long as we can remember.

“We have a lot of folks at that age where they’re more concerned about their health and may have some health concerns, all of a sudden they don’t have a family doc and it is scary for them,” Lemke said.

Meanwhile, he says, the health services village is a ‘work in progress’ and the doctor recruitment is only one arm of what can be a much broader initiative.

Aside from strong community support, the Renfrew area enjoys some clear physical advantages compared to other regions.

Among them is Renfrew Victoria Hospital and an adjacent doctors’ clinic that has room for six more physicians.

They are features Farley Ratcliffe shares during his outreach work, matching doctors to communities.

Farley Ratcliffe explained the role of HealthForce, which operates under the umbrella of the Ministry of Health and Longterm Care.

“We’re in a pretty good place in terms of people (doctors) coming in,” he told council.

In the past four years, HealthForce Ontario has in brought 400 physicians, is working with 550 more on licensing, and has 8,000 expressions of interest. And because of its successful locums program, there hasn’t been a single emergency department closure in those four years.

There are 23 regulated health professions in the province, and HealthForce Ontario works with all of them with an ultimate goal of finding a “good fit.” Farley Ratcliffe described his job as outreach; being an expert on who needs what, and serving as a central agency where communities can get past the intense competition of the past to find regional and local solutions.

Farley Ratcliffe feels the local health villages group is doing really well.

“The ones who do best are those who are working with their neighbours,” he told council. “If people are stealing back and forth from each other, nobody is winning. It’s about all of us trying to get more doctors for the province.”

Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe agreed the current doctor recruitment effort is a good example of teamwork.

“I think our money in Admaston-Bromley is well spent here on doctor recruitment,” Coun.

Province funds summer student LUCY HASS

lucy.hass@metroland.com

One Admaston-Bromley student will have summer work, thanks to Ontario’s 2011 Summer Experience Program.

The program is funded through the province’s Ministry of Health Promotion and Sport.

The $2,785 grant for one summer maintenance assistant has already been received in one instalment.

The student must be between the ages of 15 and 24 and be enrolled in a secondary or postsecondary program or within six months of graduation from such a program.

The township will accept applications until June 3 and the student will begin employment July 4.

The municipality will be required to submit a post-project report by mid-September.

Township treasurer Annette Louis learned about the program during the 2011 Funders Forum hosted Feb. 17 by the County of Renfrew.

Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe thanked Louis for her initiative in finding the provincial grant.

“If there ever was a need for outside funding, it is now,” she said.

As of last week, the township had still heard nothing of their application for a federal Canada Summer Jobs grant, which was applied for on Feb. 2, 2011.

In the past, the municipality has not received federal support for summer students.

“I have no hope to think we’re any better off this year,” the mayor said.

VALLEY VOICES Valley Voices for CHEO will be held Sunday, June 26 at the Renfrew Armouries.

Max Keeping will serve as master of ceremonies for the showcase of entertainment by the Renfrew County Idol finalists.

The show begins at 1 p.m. and admission is by donation only.

The hall is being donated by the Renfrew Agricultural Society and all will go the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

For more information, contact Gladys Sidock at 613-4322549.

BACKS HEADS AND BEDS Admaston-Bromley is supporting the County of Renfrew in its call for an increase in the heads-and-beds levy.

Ontario municipalities with post-secondary institutions or hospitals receive transfer payments from the province in lieu of property taxes, based on the number of students or hospital beds.

The current $75 per head/bed has not increased since 1987 when it jumped from $50.

“It is our position that the current heads and beds rate does not reflect a fair compensation for providing local resources necessary to support these provincial services,” said the April 27 county resolution.

The county suggests the rate, if indexed to inflation, would be about $135 per head/bed.

Its resolution also calls for an automatic semi-annual adjustment for inflation in future years.

The Admaston-Bromley motion by Coun. Michael Donohue, seconded by Deputy Mayor Dirk Rook, received unanimous council support.

Mayor Briscoe noted that, given there has been no change since 1987, it was “time for a relook.”

NEW MEMBER Shawn McFarlane has been appointed as a new member of the Admaston-Bromley Wards One and Two Recreation Committee. He replaces outgoing member Janice Dick-Heins.

TENDERS AWARDED Admaston-Bromley recently awarded its 2011 gravel and winter sand tenders.

The gravel tender for 18,000 tonnes went to Cavanagh Construction in the amount of $126,900.

The successful bid for 4,000 tonnes of winter sand was Barr Sand and Gravel at $31,720.

A document comparing winter sand and gravel prices since 2003 indicated the most significant spike in prices between 2005 and 2007.

CAR RALLY Trevor and Chantal Rudy were winners of the AdmastonBromley 2011 Ride for Community Pride sixth car rally held May 15.

Not a race, the rally is meant to be a fun and educational trip around the township. The rally as created by Sabrina Clemmer.

The motorists were given a route to follow, with specific questions to answer along the way. One point was awarded for each correct answer.

Participants were also asked to pick up a number of items worth more points: a purple ribbon, six pieces of garbage, a piece of baler twine, a signed napkin from Tracy’s Dairy, a dozen dandelions, a maple leaf, an autograph of a member of the Briscoe family, and a signed receipt from Gourley’s Variety gas station. The participants were also asked to count the number of Briscoes encountered along the way.

FORMAL OPENING OF THE TENNIS CLUB: The formal opening of the town Tennis Club was held on Saturday on the cool attractive grounds of Mr. D. H. McAndrew. The event was featured by a tea served on the grounds by the Ladies of the Club. About 60 guests enjoyed the hospitality of the club, and a social time was spent.

In the evening an informal dance was held in Frood’s Hall, making a delightful ending to a pleasant event.

The courts are in great shape now, and the club looks for a prosperous season again this year.

PURCHASED PLANT FROM MR. A. JAMIESON: Mr. H. B. Webster, general superintendent of plants of the Standard Chemical, Iron and Lumber Co., was in town for a couple of days last week with a view to securing labor for the works in Eganville. This company is the one that purchased the Eganville Lime Works from Mr. A. Jamieson, of town. They have been enlarging the plant, another extra kiln being built now, and this means the employment of an increased staff in the near future. Mr. Webster said that while the present need could perhaps be supplied the enlargement pointed to more men, being needed soon, and the company could use several laborers at once.

Come join Relay for Life battle against cancer

The battle to beat cancer continues as Renfrew Collegiate Institute students and other community members gather for the fifth annual Renfrew Relay for Life this weekend.

Having already garnered a reputation as one of the most successful student-led Relay for Lifes in Ontario, organizers are looking to raise a record $90,000 in the Friday-Saturday (May 27-28) event.

More than $80,000 was raised last year, and

organizers are looking for another big year for the Canadian Cancer Society fundraiser. More than $300,000 has been raised over the first four years.

The emotional victory lap, for cancer survivors and their supporters, takes place at 7 p.m. in the parking lot of Ma-Te-Way Park.

All members of the community are welcomed to attend.

has the lowest population, at 232. Highest listed populations, following Petawawa, are Laurentian Valley at 8,801; Arnprior, 7,871; Renfrew, 7,603; and Whitewater, 6,192. When expenses are added to the mayors’ salaries, the first five municipalities are Petawawa, $38,531; Arnprior, $33,830; Killaloe, Hagarty & Richards, $31,249; Renfrew, $25,784; and Madawaska Valley, $25,316.

The most expenses in 2010, in order, for 2010 mayors were Greater Madawaska, $7,713; Killaloe, Hagarty & Richards, $6,917; Petawawa, $6,057; and McNabBraeside, $4,894. The mayors of Killaloe, Hagarty & Richards and Laurentian Hills had no invoiced expenses, while Whitewater Region had only $267.

Ten of 17 municipalities had a deputy mayor or reeve. Of those 10, Petawawa, McNab-Braeside, Bonnechere Valley and Renfrew mayors’ salaries were ranked 1-2-3-4 respectively. Their salaries were $18,456, $16,532; $16,139 and $14,495.

Lowest was Whitewater Region at $7,298. Horton, which was second lowest

at $10,596, no longer has a deputy-reeve.

The top payout in councillors’ salaries and expenses ranged from $25,999 in Petawawa to $2,300 in Brudenell, Lyndoch & Raglan.

The County of Renfrew’s human resources department has compiled the survey since the early 2000s. Once done annually, the survey is now conducted every second year, to coincide with the new cycle of four-year municipal terms.

From the 2010 survey results, human resources director Bruce Beakley says he draws few major conclusions, with an exception or two.

Beakley recognizes that many councillors are not in it for the money. However, based on the time commitment required by those in public office, he says those jobs really have evolved into part-time ones. Considering the time commitment, Beakley says “they’re still not compensated appropriately.”

Those current salary levels, he adds, won’t attract many new candidates to local councils.

Wide range of salaries for county council members

Nature

Muskie Club ready for 2011 season

Whip-poor-wills, birds we hear but seldom see Rita Lafrance has been hearing a whip-poor-will very early in the morning and again in the evening. Whip-poor-wills govern their nesting habits to coincide with the phases of the moon. The eggs are incubated so that they hatch upon the lead-up of a full moon.

The light of the moon allows the adults to see and catch night-flying moths to feed their young. The eerie eyeshine that reflects from the whip-poorwills’ oversized eyes is like those of other nocturnal creatures such as owls and nighthawks. You will sometimes see the eyeshine while driving on country roads at night.

Because of insecticide use on the wintering grounds of Brazil and Central America many insect eaters: whip-poorwills, night hawks, swallows, purple martins and wood warblers have been placed on the “birds under stress” list. For these birds to gain their full status more responsible use of pesticides of all kinds must be practised. If you hear or see whip-poor-wills, chimney swifts or night hawks, please let us know.

SOME GO, SOME STAY The birding is good at Poison Ivy Acres these days. The three dozen redpolls I had here all winter have just left, and have been replaced by purple finches.

Three fox sparrows were here for a month, up one from previous years. As you mentioned in this week’s column, this is a good year for rose-breasted grosbeaks. I have six at the moment, coming to the feeder. Strangely, they seem to know where I am at any given time and one or two will come to the window in that room and tap on the glass. Other birds I have seen this week: meadowlarks, veerys and a pair of northern harriers.

the water as the season progresses.

SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE had a male bluebird with an injured wing arrive at their home.

This week a female arrived as did two other males.

The injured male seems to have won the battle for the female’s affection and they have claimed the territory and are nesting.

Prior to the arrival of the injured male, it was the first time in the 30 years the Campbells did not have bluebirds nesting on their property.

At present they hope that more bluebirds arrive and fill the remaining bird boxes.

INDIGO BUNTING

Muskie chasers and the charities they support are confident they’ll land a lot of fundraising dollars this summer.

The Ottawa Valley Muskie Club, led by fishing great Bill Craig, has a number of events planned for every angler, be they kids, first-timers, even women.

The club has more than 30 members living in many Valley communities, including Renfrew and Ottawa. It promotes the region, related businesses and sustainable fishing practices.

June 4 is the annual Ice Breaker tournament held on the Madawaska River. The cost is $25, with registration available at ottawavalleymuskieclub.com and the Antrim Truck Stop.

“It’s a good start to the season for us,” Craig said. “The biggest fish takes all.” Last year $425 went to the winner and $425 went to Capital City Condors, a hockey club for special needs kids.

July 10 is Kids’ Fishing Day with five or six boats of muskie experts willing to take boys and girls out on the mighty Ottawa River. About a dozen kids between the ages are signed up already; although they’ve reached capacity, Craig said he has a back-up list for last minute cancellations.

Margaret McLeish had an indigo bunting arrive at her feeder last week.

Many will argue that this bird is the most elegant of all our birds.

The breeding male’s spectacular blue plumage is best seen in bright light; otherwise, he will appear uniformly dark.

The male sings from a high perch in a series of couplets; each pair of notes is sung at a different pitch: swee-swee zreetzreet swee-swee seeit-seeit.

In print it appears rather bizarre but when you hear the bird sing it sounds the same.

HUMMERS ARRIVED EARLY ANOTHER SINGER Jim and Irma Kobus were very surprised two weeks ago when the first ruby-throated hummingbird arrived at their feeder on May 8 the earliest the birds have ever arrived.

Jim said it was a female, which is remarkable because males are usually the first to arrive, claim a territory and the feeder with it.

At present the Kobus feeders have a mixture of half sugar and half water. They will reduce the sugar and increase

Bill and Joann Wendt have been hearing oven birds singing every day since the first week of May. The Wendts say that it is easier to learn the song than to try and find the bird in the underbrush.

Fortunately the loud, clear tea-cher, tea-cher repeated about 10 times in a row gets louder and louder and is easy to recognize.

Just call him at 613-622-0673.

The event runs from 8 a.m. to noon, with a barbecue to follow.

The top five will get rods and reels, but Craig said it’s more of an “everyone wins” day.

“They’ll all walk away with gifts,” he said of the free event.

July 23 is the Women’s Fishing Day with the biggest fish taking the trophy. Contestants will meet at 7 or 8 a.m. at Eastside Mario’s in Arnprior. The $10 fee covers a barbecue lunch that breaks up the day. A banquet follows.

“We are the first club around to have a women’s committee,” Craig said. “We took some girls out last year and they loved it. The open space and on the boat. They love the tournament. They’re the reason we’re doing it. We get a great kick out of seeing how excited they get when they catch one.”

Aug. 27 and 28 is the Team Tournament, which runs in conjunction with Arnprior’s White Pine Festival. It starts on Friday at 4 p.m. and ends Saturday at 6 p.m. The boat with the most fish in inches wins. Registration is $50 per person, with prizes for the top three finishers. The group hopes to raise $1,500 for charity.

The club meets monthly at Buster’s Bar and Grill on Carling Avenue in Ottawa and elsewhere.

The tackle swap is popular, as is the bait fish slide show, among other presentations.

Continued from Page 44 Sylvia and Bill Irving had the flock of wild turkeys that had frequented their property leave for the winter and did not return until April of this year. When they did return they had a white member with them.

The bird has the same characteristics as the other members of the flock, except

for the colour difference. There has been a debate as to whether the light-coloured birds are albino birds or the offspring of a wild male and a domesticated female. Until DNA samples are taken and analyzed the debate will continue.

The family of the late Evelyn M. Jakes wish to thank the nurses and doctors of Renfrew Victoria Hospital for their care and kindness through her final illness until her death on May 16, 2011. Special thanks is given to her family doctor and friend, Bruce Strader, for his calls and attention and also to the nurses and personal care workers who attended her in her home. All the help given by Kirk Anderson of the Anderson Funeral Home is much appreciated. We also wish to thank our many friends for their sympathy, kind thoughts and offers of help.

A graveside service led by Reverend Bruce Ferguson will be held on June 7 when Evelyn’s ashes are laid to rest in our family plot at Union Cemetery, Merrickville.

Lennox Jakes, Leewyn Jakes and Lynette and David Eady

You’ve left behind our broken hearts, And precious memories too, But we’ve never wanted memories We only wanted you.

Of all the many blessings, However great or small, To have had you for a brother Was the greatest one of all.

Your smile has gone forever, And your hand we cannot touch, We have so many memories, Of you Mom, we loved so much.

The family chain is broken now, And nothing seems the same But as God takes us one by one The chain will link again.

If we could have one lifetime wish, One dream that could come true, We’d ask with all our hearts, For yesterday and you.

Always in our thoughts, Love your husband John and Todd, Cheryl, Scott and Trina

THANK YOU

Hope you and your brothers are having a blast!

Probably driving Mom and Dad crazy like you did in the past!

Not how did he die, but how did he live?

Not what did he gain, but what did he give?

These are the units to measure the worth of a man as a man, regardless of birth.

Not what his church, nor what his creed, But had he befriended those really in need?

Was he ever ready, with word of good cheer, To bring back a smile, To banish a tear?

Not what did the editorial in the newspaper say, But how many were sorry when he passed away?

A thousand words won’t bring you back We know because we’ve tried And neither will a million tears We know because we’ve cried.

A garden of beautiful memories Sprayed with a million tears

Foster fiddle fundraiser helps Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support About 100 people attended Randy Foster’s May 15 concert in Renfrew and raised $1,175 for Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support.

“The young musicians were very talented and impressed the audience,” says Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support executive director Judy Ewart.

“There was a lot of spontaneous clapping and many people were clapping along with the musicians.”

Tessa and Ella Bangs performed with their father Bob and pianist Jim Hunter.

They also performed some of the pieces that they learned while travelling with Cirque du Soleil.

“Triple Trouble (the Mullan Sisters) performed along with Natalie Harrison and fiddled, step-danced and did both together – fiddled while they step-danced,” Ewart said.

Foster and Bruce Armitage followed up with some old favourites.

The fiddle concert ended with a jam session of well-known tunes.

Mac McCallum was winner of the af-

Triple Threat – The Mullan Sisters. ternoon’s 50/50 draw.

Proving the afternoon was fun for all ages, Ewart noted: “We had one little girl in the audience inspired by the step-dancing and at one point got up and danced.”
