The Town of Renfrew has a brand new $30-million sewage plant that will meet its needs for years to come. But the town was in court last week to respond to charges by the Ministry of the Environment regarding a spill at its old plant. Solicitor Roger Harris represented the town in provincial court in Pembroke May 24, at which time the case was adjourned to October. The town, if found guilty, could pay substantial fines, in excess of $100,000. The charges stem from the leaking of ferric chloride storage tanks at the old sewage plant in August 2008. The new plant opened in the fall of 2009. The chemical is part of mandated treatment, to help coagulate solids and remove phosphorous from treated water, explained Renfrew development and works director Mike Asselin. See ‘Town’, Page 6

The Renfrew Mercury - June 2, 2011

Maxwell named Renfrew Citizen of the Year

From front page

“I’m flattered by it, humbled by it,” Maxwell said of the citizen of the year honour. “I didn’t do this alone. I’ve been a member of a team,” she added. Maxwell thanked the Chamber of Commerce, mayors of the four communities behind the health village, the Renfrew Industrial Commission, and all others who have made the project a reality. “I can’t help but think, my husband should be up here (at the podium) with me for this award also. I share it with him. Even Steven,” she added with a grin. All three finalists for the award were chosen from public nominations. LIFETIME BUSINESS ACHIEVEMENT Mack Wilson of Wilson Investments was presented with a Lifetime Business Achievement Award. The award recognizes a business that has successfully innovated and adapted during changing times, and have been actively involved in the social, cultural and economic life of the community for more than 25 years. Wilson got emotional a couple of times while addressing an appreciative gathering of 180 people. “I really truthfully love Renfrew,” he said. “There is nothing better in this world. I am so excited. I thank you.” YOUTH OF THE YEAR

COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION Sport Renfrew celebrated 35 years recently, and was able to celebrate again with the Community Organization of the Year hardware. Others in contention were Cougars Conquering Cancer and the Renfrew Area Health Services Village. M.J. Blimkie accepted the plaque on behalf of past and present members of the organization. It is estimated the club has given out $2 million since its inception. “We thank all the bingo players who have supported us over the last 35 years,” Blimkie said. BUSINESS ACHIEVEMENT ProTyre Sales and Services got the nod for Outstanding Business Achievement. The tire shop outlasted two other long-time Renfrew institutes, Douglas Moore Fashions and Scott’s Shoe Store. “It’s been a wonderful journey,” owner Ken Dillabough said of 24 years in business. “I thank our customers, and I’d like to thank my staff. It’s a privilege to accept this award.”

Former Renfrew Mayor Sandi Heins was the recipient of the President’s Award, selected by Chamber President Kevin Bossy for outstanding contributions to the community. Bossy said whether you agreed with her decisions as mayor or not, “she exudes a passion for her community.” “I consider it an honour to accept this award. I share it with my family,” Heins said.

Realty, Remax, TV Cogeco, myFM and The Mercury. Scott’s Shoe Store was also a banquet sponsor and the Chamber later apologized for not mentioning them at the banquet. Bossy congratulated all the award winners and those who were nominated. “Choosing the recipients for the gala awards has not been an easy task,” he added. “All of you make Renfrew a great community in which to live.”

Marg Tubman accepted the honour for myFM, and Renfrew Mercury general manager John Willems on behalf of the newspaper’s employees. Bossy said both media outlets play a vital role in the Chamber and to the community. Bossy thanked all for their support in making another Chamber of Commerce awards night possible. He added special thanks to Chamber of Commerce information officer Tammy Logan for her work in getting the awards night together. Money Concepts, Bell Canada, Renfrew Industrial Commission, Royal Bank and TD Canada Trust were sponsors of the awards. Banquet sponsors were Scotiabank, Renfrew Metro, Royal LePage O’Neil

Name for manor’s new auditorium STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

The much-anticipated opening of the Bonnechere Manor auditorium is coming with a brand new name. The Renfrew Rotary Club, which is committed to raising $100,000 over five years for the project, was asked to name

the new facility. The same name was okayed by the Renfrew County health committee, then approved by county council last Wednesday (May 25). Last month, local Rotary Club members voted on nine names submitted by its membership. See ‘Manor’, Page 5

the honour. Other nominees were Joe Steele and Holley sisters Hannah, Delaney and Caroline. The young cancer survivor noted that CHEO is a great place, but no one ever wants to go there. She spearheads a number of events to raise money for Candlelighters. “I don’t want anyone to have to go through that,” she said of people and cancer.

An emotional, energized Renfrew Relay for Life STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.c

Five hundred and twenty-one participants helped create a hugely successful fifth annual Renfrew Relay for Life. After raising more than $300,000 the previous four years, the event, run by Renfrew Collegiate Institute students, raised a record $91,500. The event, whose walking track is located in Ma-Te-Way Park’s large parking lot, is where hearts, souls and minds gather for the annual fundraising fight against cancer. As every year, an emotional moment is the survivor lap. Held during the opening minutes of the 12-hour relay, the lap features survivors of cancer. This year, nearly 50 survivors, plus supportive family members and friends, walked the lap to clapping from the hundreds standing on the sidelines. That lap, said survivor committee student-chair Hilary Stafford, is designed to recognize “those people who have displayed boundless energy, courage, heart, strength and determination in the fight with cancer.” Just a few of the survivors waking the special lap were

Mary Barr, Sandra Beimers, Vivian Eady, Karen Pender, Sylvia Sell, Joan Reid, Gerry Sutherland, Nathan vande Kemp and Evelyn McHale. From the age of 50, McHale started receiving mammograms. The first few years, the test revealed nothing out of the ordinary, but then the positive test came. Successful treatment followed for McHale, who says all women should receive regular mammograms once they turn 50. Another survivor-lap participant was Henny Menkhorst, who, only a year earlier, walked the survivor lap as a supporter for husband Tony. This time, she too was a survivor, after being diagnosed with breast cancer and undergoing a double-mastectomy. It’s an emotional subject for the Menkhorsts, particularly since Tony is still fighting prostate cancer and Henny’s sister (Debbie Beimers) died of cancer last year. Mamograms are painful, but Henny says there’s no excuse not to have one. “It’s short-term pain for longterm gain,” she says. Both in their 50s, the Menkhorsts say they derive motiva-

tion and energy from the Renfrew Relay for Life. “It’s awe-inspiring. It’s humbling. Last year I walked to support him. This year I walked as a survivor,” says an emotional Henny, noting it’s particularly uplifting to see how many young people take part. Many others expressed their support for the cause during the relay that ran from 7 p.m. Friday to 7 a.m. Saturday. Participants included Rick Dillabough, who carried a basketball net and backboard, while son Matthew Florent occasionally scored with a dunk or a layup shot. Despite arthritic knees, Gail Commanda of Pikwakanagan used her cane to walk with members of her team, Gone Fishing. This was her third year taking part. “My brother and niece died of cancer, and it’s a good cause,” she says of the relay. Another survivor was former Renfrew resident Larry Lyons, who now lives in Almonte. He walked holding wife Kerrine’s hand with his left and a tennis racquet with his right. “I love it,” he says of the event. “There’s a lot of support.” Three hours into the relay, the luminary ceremony took place,

The Bonn e c h e r e Museum in Eganville will showcase, with a firsttime visit, the talent of local belly dancer Jamilah. The dance demonstration will take place Saturday, June 4 at 11 a.m. Jamilah began her passion for belly dancing in 1996. Finding the art form both stimulating and relaxing, she has received lessons and continues to learn from many different reputable teachers in hopes of completing a wellrounded style of her own. Eager to share her passion and knowledge of the art, she has been encouraging other women to take part in her classes that she has delivered throughout the county since 2003. On her website, valleybellydance.com, the dance is described to be “known in North America as belly dancing.” Raqs Sharqi or Oriental Dance has been a passion of women all over the world for centuries. Jamilah believes this beautiful dance encourages women to develop self-confidence.

Two unsuccessful attempts haven’t stopped a group of Horton volunteers from sprucing up one of their oldest pieces of township history. The Martin Cemetery, which sits on the high points of Whitton Road, on the southeast side of the Town of Renfrew, is the resting place for some of the township’s very oldest ancestors. Some of them date back to the 1830s, says Dave Brown, one of the driving forces behind a handful of volunteers taking the time to make the run-down cemetery look better than it did several months ago. Mercury photo by Lucy Hass With the help of fencing from Jim McLeod Volunteers spent a good part of the May long weekend working at the Mar- of Woodlawn and borrowed equipment from tin Cemetery on Whitton Road. From left are Bob Johnston on the backhoe, Marshalls, a few volunteers worked much of Saturday (May 22) and part of Victoria Day Dave Bennet, Dave Brown, Jim Martin and Steve Quigley.

Manor’s new name: Renfrew Rotary Hall

From Page 3 The top two names were then voted on separately, with Renfrew Rotary Hall emerging the winner. Rotary president Judith Gilchrist, who wouldn’t reveal the name of the runner-up, is pleased with the outcome. “It was a fun thing for us to do … We’re pleased to be moving forward with something significant in the community with the Rotary name on it,” said Gilchrist. “It’s just been a fantastic thing for the manor that will now have space so residents can see everything and do everything,” said Gilchrist, knowing previous events were held in cramped quarters. “We’re just thrilled to be part of this.” The Bonnechere Manor, which moved into its present building in 1995, has never had an auditorium. The previous manor included an extensively-

used auditorium. The preview of Renfrew Rotary Hall will be June 15, with an open house from 2 to 5 p.m. The official opening will take place June 29 in conjunction with Renfrew County council’s monthly meeting. The opening comes during 2010-11, in which the Rotary Club’s international theme is Building Communities, Bridging Continents. The local club was founded in 1922 with 21 members. The club now has a membership of 37. Its various community projects, which directly benefit area residents, include Meals on Wheels, Rotary Homes and the Rotary Splash Pad at MaTe-Way Park. The Renfrew Rotary Club’s first major fundraiser, in support of the new Renfrew Rotary Hall, will be its Aug. 27 charity golf tournament at the Renfrew Golf Club.

(May 24) to plant two new red maples and install a fence to the Whitton Road front of the cemetery. Previously, there was no fencing at the cemetery, which houses many damaged tombstones. “We want to make it something that Horton Township and the area can be proud of it, rather than what it was,” said Brown. “It now looks a lot more presentable, especially with the fence.” Brown says he and other volunteers will return to do more upgrades or repairs. “We’ll keep on applying for a Trillium grant, or hope someone wins the lottery, so we can fix all the tombstones,” said Brown. “Some are in terrible condition.”

Renfrew County lobbies for all of the HST from gas sales STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Renfrew County council continues to lobby to receive money from the province’s harmonized sales tax on gasoline and diesel sales. Local MPP John Yakabuski, who has lobbied for all municipalities to benefit from the tax, may have more influence if his Conservative Party becomes the government following the 2011 provincial election. Meanwhile, the county has followed up on Halton Region’s call to direct a “portion of the revenue derived from HST charged on gasoline and diesel sales to a new predictable funding mechanism that will allow Ontario’s municipalities to make the critical investments need to be effective stewards of transportation infrastructure.” In fact, Renfrew County has gone a step farther. At the May 25 session of county council, Renfrew County council called for the Ontario government to direct “all revenue” from such sales to all rural and urban municipalities in the province. The resolution also started that Ontario’s 2009 average fuel consumption sales projected the new HST revenue to

be about $1.5 billion annually. The resolution also indicates that the Provincial-Municipal Fiscal and Service Delivery Review Panel (of which current Renfrew County Warden Bob Sweet was a member) “identified an infrastructure funding gap of approximately $3.8 billion (annually)” between the Ontario government and Ontario municipalities. “All municipalities should share equally in the program,” said Warden Sweet. “This is a new pot of gold,” said Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack, noting that several dozen Ontario municipalities fail to benefit from such gas-tax funding because they do not operate mass transit systems. Sweet added that the county contributes noticeably to mass transit through its own Highway 17. Already, all Ontario municipalities receive federal gas tax money annually. “I think the logic is there … but it might be a bit of an uphill battle,” admits Renfrew County public works director Dave Darch. “Up here our transit system is our roads network.” Renfrew County has more than 800 kilometres in roads and accompanying bridges.

Lemkay named OVTA vice-president STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@meetroland.com

Chris Hinsperger of Bonnechere Caves and Dave Lemkay of the Renfrew Industrial Commission are new leaders on the Ottawa Valley Tourist Association board of directors. Hinsperger was elected president and Lemkay, who lives in Douglas, was elected vice-president at the OVTA’s recent annual general meeting. The AGM took place at Petawawa’s Twin Rivers Golf Club. The past-president is Charlotte Gebhart of Serendipity on the River (Eganville), The board also features Renfrew County council’s representatives, McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell and Renfrew Reeve Audrey Green. The board is completed by Dennis Blaedow of Esprit Rafting (Davidson, Que.), Allan Symons of Canadian Clock Museum (Deep River), Sharon

Taylor of Barry’s Bay Outfitters (Barry’s Bay), Coun. Isabel O’Reilly (Township of Killaloe, Hagarty & Richards), Marilyn Alexander (Pembroke Comfort Inn) and Coun. Bob Hackett (City of Pembroke). “The Ottawa Valley’s tourism industry is on the cusp of a number of exciting opportunities that will benefit those businesses and organizations directly related to tourism, as well as all Valley businesses,” said the new president in a news release. “I am proud to be part of a group of people dedicated to realizing those opportunities.” OVTA, as the official destination marketing organization for the Upper Ottawa Valley, represents more than 210 tourism businesses. These businesses include accommodation, dining and retail establishments, as well as events, attractions, rafting companies, outfitters, artists and galleries, and media and industry suppliers.

The other charge, for failure to properly operate the sewage-treatment plant, could result in an additional fine. Participants in the court case are the Ministry of the Environment, the min-

time.” The town acknowledges there was a leak of ferric chloride in the liner of a steel holding tank. This leak entered the treatment system, but was isolated within 35 minutes, said Asselin. He also noted treated sewage took about three hours to be conveyed through the system. The town contests the ferric chloride did not reach the Bonnechere River in appreciable quantities, said Asselin.

1911: Body found at school building JUNE 8, 1911 CORONATION DAY SOCIAL: One of the principal attractions for the Coronation Day holiday June 22 will be the Coronation Social given by the Women’s Guild of St. Paul’s Church on the spacious grounds of the rectory, commencing at 7 p.m. Admittance 15 cents. Strawberries, ice cream and other refreshments will be served by several of Renfrew’s most charming young ladies, and a band will be in attendance. A capable committee of ladies of the guild is now hard at work to secure such an evening’s pleasure and continue its enviable record for successful entertainments. BODY FOUND AT SCHOOL BUILDING: While digging a lime pit at the separate school grounds, an old grave was discovered and the top of a skeleton unearthed. A break in the uniformity of layers of earth was noticed, two parallel streaks running down the inside of the pit taking the outline of a grave, and further digging into the inside of the pit revealed the back portion of a skull. The site was formerly the first graveyard in Renfrew and was known as the McDougall burying ground. When excavating for the foundation of the school now being torn down, several skeletons were dug up. The work on the new school is being rushed and the present foundation is now being torn down. There is a rock ledge running diagonally across the grounds and some blasting will have to be done on it. MAY 28, 1936 RENFREW STORES BE-

GIN WEDNESDAY HALFHOLIDAYS: Weekly half holiday for dry goods houses, groceries and some offices, commences for the summer in Renfrew on Wednesday next, the first Wednesday in June. There is a practice widely prevalent in Ontario and presents little or none of the inconvenience attaching to day light saving. In Renfrew it has been in vogue for some years and forms compensation to staffs for the late hours of Saturday night, on which night there will, as usual, be every opportunity of shopping. The weekly half holiday embraces June, July and August. The stores will close at 12:30 p.m. LOCALS: Mr. Herb Handford will spend the Queen’s University vacation playing baseball for the Napanee club of the Central Ontario League. Good ball is played at the hand of this Renfrewite. – Ottawa baseball club now has not only Jim Stevenson, formerly of Renfrew, but Neil Stevenson, his brother, both of whom were in Renfrew from Detroit last winter for a visit. Jim is back at his old position at first base, while Neil plays in the outfield. Both are batting the ball hard, as is also Chris Schearer. – There are people of Renfrew and vicinity who claim to have heard the rumble of an earthquake at 6 o’clock on Saturday morning last. In some houses there is said to have been the rattle of glassware. A few people profess to have been wide awake at the time without being conscious of any-

thing in the way of seismic disturbance. JUNE 2, 1971 MARIANNE MCPHAIL WINS DEPARTMENTAL MEDAL AT QUEEN’S: Marianne Amanda McPhail daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Don McPhail of Haley’s was awarded a departmental medal in general B.A. program at Queen’s University, May 26. Miss McPhail was one of a number of students who were awarded medals in each academic department of the graduating class having the highest average standing. The medal was presented during the Spring Convocation held May 28 and 29, at the University in Kingston, Ontario where Miss McPhail graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree. ARC BOWLERS: A team of bowlers representing ARC Industries, Renfrew journeyed to Ottawa on Saturday to compete in a bowling tournament. Over 280 people were in competition for the day, with 18 teams from Ottawa, Cornwall, Kingston, Napanee, Carleton Place, Pembroke and Renfrew and Vanier. The Renfrew team consisting of Jimmy Chapeski, Walter Miller, Joe Clayton, Elaine Craig, Maureen Jamieson and Mary Homsma were accompanied by Mr. Lloyd Smith and Mrs. Jack Weir. The Renfrew team placed sixth out of the 18 teams and Elaine Craig was chosen Bowler of the Year and brought home yet another trophy along with this high distinction for the fourth high triple score.

The Renfrew Mercury - June 2, 2011

EDITORIAL

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Grab your helmet

Early celebration Dear editor, The question has arisen. Why is Renfrew County celebrating the 150th anniversary in 2011 and not in 2016? I will attempt to clear this up. Two important events occurred in 1861 relating to the formation of Renfrew County. Pembroke was selected by the Governor General to be the County Town and a proclamation was issued allowing Renfrew County to separate from Lanark County. In Pembroke, A Glimpse Into the Past, I state, “The union between Lanark and Renfrew could not be dissolved until a Courthouse and Gaol were established. The Land Office could be completed later.” Renfrew County continued to send representatives to Perth, County Town for the United Counties of Lanark and Renfrew where, I understand, there is a photograph of all the representatives taken in 1866. The separation of Renfrew County from Lanark County was proclaimed by an Act of Parliament and published on Aug. 25, 1866 in the Canada Gazette. The first meeting of Renfrew County Council was held in the new Courthouse in Pembroke on Oct. 10, 1866. See ‘Are we’, Page 33

ummer is here and it is time to enjoy being outdoors. If you are riding your bike to get to work or to simply have fun, make sure you protect your head and by wearing a helmet that fits you properly. Falls can happen even if you are a good cyclist and ride all the time. A number of things can make you crash: a car might cut you off, a dog might run out in front of you, or your tire might hit a crack in the road. Each year, about 1,500 people go to an emergency room in Ottawa because of a cycling injury. Of all sports and recreation activities, cycling is the number one reason people visit the emergency room or are admitted to the hospital. Furthermore, many of these injuries are to the head. In Ottawa, there are about 357 emergency room visits each year because of a head injury from cycling. Head injuries can result in damage to your brain and can even cause death. Brain injury continues to be one of the leading causes of death and disability in North America. It can happen to anyone, young or old, during a variety of activities. Brain injury can have life-altering changes on the person injured, and is now recognized to cause significant distress and change for the family and friends of the person injured. Each year over 5,000 children in Canada experience brain injury from bicycle accidents. Brain injury can happen to both genders, young or old, in a variety of settings. Brain injury in Canada is a significant issue, for people with injury, families, friends and others trying to provide their care. The good news is, you can prevent many of these injuries by wearing a helmet. Putting on a helmet and making sure it fits properly is easy to do if you follow the 2V1 rule: your helmet should fit on top of your head with two finger widths between the eyebrows and the top of edge of the helmet; your straps should form a ‘V’ shape right below the ears, which keeps the helmet from moving forward and backward or from side to side; clip the straps together tightly so only one finger fits between the chin and the strap. Everyone under the age of 18 must wear a certified helmet while cycling. Good examples for parents to set is to always wear one, regardless of the trek. Then your children will learn from your good example.

Only in the countryside, eh I was talking to my Halifax brotherin-law about his impending surgery and the prospects of success, when I injected a little levity into the conversation. “I bet what happened to me this morning will never happen to you,” I said confidently. Like many friends and family members, he can’t help but be amused by some of our rural experiences in Renfrew County. Truly, though, some aren’t so laughable. Like black holes with no cellular phone reception; the lack of high speed Internet unless we go the more expensive satellite route; too many brownouts and blackouts; frozen water bowls for our horses every winter; and difficulty finding babysitters, far from the city lights. But I wouldn’t trade country living for the city any time soon. We have space, and peace and quiet, and experiences and opportunities that keep our urban visitors envious. Like getting to pat a new-born calf minutes after its birth; like rubbing

STEVE NEWMAN STEVE’S SIXTH SENSE cheeks with one of our horses after a long day at work; like going next door to watch little chicks grow into chickens; like driving 15 minutes down the road to paddle or throw in a fishing line; like paying $15 for our son’s spring-summer soccer program; like being a reasonable drive from gorgeous Algonquin Provincial Park. The benefits are many, but even the frustrations and irritations, in some ways, can become part of the attraction to this neck of the woods. Case in point, our early Saturday morning start to the long May weekend. Our son had already jumped into our bed in the wee hours, but the real interruption came with the cows. They had arrived about a week earlier. Brought by the local farmer, the moms and their calves would be here until well into the fall, they had

their own designated pastures on our 54-acre hobby farm. One of those pastures was next to our backyard. But upon looking out the window, we learned our livestock population had doubled. Our ‘own’ cattle were safe and sound, but another 10 cows had visited the property after escaping from our neighbours’ property. So there we went, out the door in loose shoes, pajamas and sweat tops, to redirect our unwanted visitors back to their quarters a quarter-mile away. Down the driveway we went, only to have four cows turn left, in the wrong direction. So we ignored them, using branches to tap the backsides of the six remaining cows and return them to where they belonged.The other four cows soon joined us. One played difficult, bolting into another neighbours’ yard, but she, too, soon rejoined her companions. Then back home we went, still wanting more sleep, but smiling and content.

Great Battery Roundup at Dwaine’s Auto Body and Towing

Water Haulage available from

LUCY HASS lucy.hass@metroland.com

Take a regular work week and multiply it by three. That’s what AdmastonBromley resident Dwaine Turcotte has invested in the Renfrew-and-area community as he marks more than 30 years in business. “I work three shifts,” he says, with a laugh, of the physically- and mentallydemanding work. Turcotte was also driving transport when he first opened his auto body shop on the South McNaughton Road. When he ventured into the tow-truck business, he started with one truck and two years later was up to three trucks. Today there are four in the fleet. Dedicated to a job that demands 24-hour service, Dwaine and wife Mary keep holding down the fort for the motoring public – answering calls at all hours and helping motorists. Dwaine’s Auto Body and Towing is also helping to rescue our natural environment as his garage serves as this area’s dropoff point for the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) Great Battery Roundup. CAA GREAT BATTERY ROUNDUP IS ON During the CAA Great Battery Roundup – which ends Saturday, June 11 – people can drop off their automotive batteries for recycling. During garage off-hours, the public is invited to simply place their batteries beside the garage and CAA will see that they’re recycled. “CAA North & East Ontario (CAANEO) is once again ‘charged up’ for its ninth annual Great Battery Roundup,” said a CAA news release. “Though automotive batteries contain harmful chemicals that can negatively impact the environment, many people are unaware that these elements can be reclaimed and reused in new batteries,” said Korey Kennedy, manager of public and government affairs for CAANEO. “Our club respects the importance of environmental responsibility and

Dwaine Turcotte is marking his second year with the CAA battery recycling program that runs to June 11. we continue to invest in proactive green initiatives, such as the Great Battery Roundup, which help us all to do our part to preserve the environment.” As in previous years, all proceeds from the Great Battery Roundup will go to Scouts Canada’s tree planting program, Scoutrees for Canada. Since its inception in 1974, Scoutrees has planted more than 70 million seedlings, and CAANEO is proud to support such an environmentally friendly cause. The previous two Great Battery Roundup campaigns helped raise about $6,000 for this valuable program, and CAANEO is eager to add to that amount this year. The Great Battery Roundup is free to all CAA members, as well as the general public. Automobile batteries consist of 10 kilograms of contaminating lead, three litres of toxic sulfuric acid, and a plastic case. More than 98 per cent of these materials can be re-

cycled and used to create a new battery. CAA North & East Ontario will ship all collected batteries to a recycling facility for processing. CAANEO reminds individuals of the dangers that can stem from handling an automotive battery. Take care to protect yourself by wearing gloves and safety glasses, and ensure batteries remain upright and in a plastic, leak-proof container during transport. Keep sparks and flames, including cigarettes, away from batteries, as this could cause them to explode. For more than 100 years, the Canadian Automobile Association has provided travel, emergency road services, insurance, and advocacy for its members. CAA North & East Ontario continues to be the leading membership organization by recognizing and promoting its heritage and integrity in the community, while maximizing Members’ value.

#3997 Murphy Murphy is a two-year-old neutered hound mix who was brought to the shelter as a stray and never claimed. He is an active dog that will require regular walks and activities to keep him busy. Murphy knows some basic commands but would beneďŹ t from more training. Murphy is crate-trained and housebroken. He does not like cats and would be best suited in a home without small children.

#3872 Milo Milo was brought to the shelter in November to ďŹ nd a new home. He is a very friendly cat who loves attention, he is extremely affectionate. Milo has lots of personality, he loves to play and can be silly. He is good with some cats but really prefers his own space. He is curious, outgoing and he loves to explore. Unfortunately Milo must live in a cage while here at the shelter because some of the other cats pick on him. The poor kitty is becoming frustrated with being cooped up all the time. The shelter is willing to reduce the adoption fee for the right home. Milo would make an ideal companion for someone who is home a lot. Please consider giving this handsome cat a chance at a new home.

Pledge sheets for the June 12 Walk in the Park are now available on the shelterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website www.arnpriorhumanesociety.ca or can be picked up at the shelter (490 Didak Dr., Arnprior) or the Arnprior or Renfrew Pet Valu stores

Extensive work will be done on Constant Creek bridge this year, but not all that Greater Madawaska Mayor Peter Emon hoped for. Emon had requested a two-lane structure on the bridge, which the township sees as an important commercial and residential link between County Road 508 to Highway 132. A two-lane bridge would likely cost the county more than $1 million. The township preferred the construction of a two-lane bridge and realignment of roads approaching the bridge, to accommodate vehicle speeds of 80 kilometres per hour. In response, county council has approved the operations committee recommendation to replace the existing bridge with a modular (Lessard-type) deck to “address immediate loadcarrying capacity issues. Staff will continue to complete the environmental assessment process to determine the suitable location for a future two-lane bridge.” The plan to replace the current one-lane bridge with the modular deck will cost about $200,000 to $250,000. The bridge can also be reused, once it is removed to allow for any future two-lane structure. Tenders will close in late June. The work is expected to be installed in mid-July and August. The bridge will be closed during that time. Another Greater Madawaska structure getting attention is Calabogie Bridge, home to the dam at the east end of Calabogie Lake. Replacement of the deck will be done next month, and into September, by Corington Engi-

neering Inc. of Arnprior. During the bridge work, single-lane traffic will be controlled by lights. Corington’s tender of $604,861, including HST, was approved by county council May 25. The next lowest of 10 bids was $618,110 by Dalcon Enteprises Inc. of Ottawa. No other Renfrew County business bid on the project. The county has also retained McCormick Rankin Corporation to provide design engineering services for the bridge. That contract is for $54,365 plus HST. County council also approved contracts for work on county roads 69, 62 and 34, known respectively as Siberia, Combermere and Norton roads. Greenwood Paving of Pembroke just beat out Smiths Construction Company of Arnprior to do single-surface treatment of a three-kilometre stretch, from Sunny Hill Road to Kartuzy Road. Their bids were $78,676 and $80,115. H&H Construction Inc. of Petawawa was among eight countybased companies who bid on the rehab work for Combermere Road − 1.0 kilometres north of Chippawa Road and 1.9 kilometres south of Chippawa. H&H Construction’s winning bid of $475,428 was $25,000 lower than the next-best bid. Thomas Cavanagh Construction, whose operation sites include Douglas, easily won the contract to provide A and B granular for a stretch of Norton Road, near County Road 508 (Calabogie Road). Cavanagh’s bid was $170,065, including HST. The next closest bid was $209,626. Another contract, for asphalt patching and scratch-coat paving in the county, went to Smiths Construction. Smiths edged out Greenwood Paving $493,610 to $497,940, including HST.

SPECIES AT RISK At the spring meeting, the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) recommended two more species of songbirds, eastern meadowlark and barn swallow be added to the endangered list. However, there is still time to develop the kinds of conservation actions that are needed for meadowlarks and barn swallows: avoid disturbing their nesting sites will help. In the Victoria Day bird count only 15 barn swallows were seen and only 11 meadow larks. The area covered was within a 15-kilometre radius of Renfrew. Hello Jim and Ila. I read your article this week and was surprised to read someone else has spotted an indigo bunting feeding at their feeder. I was so excited when I saw him, wow they are so beautiful. We have had two pairs of cardinals visiting as well as evening grosbeaks and rose breasted grosbeaks. Freda and Ted Hoppin As you say “WOW,” what a colourful display to have at your feeder.

SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE Julia Winn saw an indigo bunting near their home and she noted that in the daylight his beautiful brilliant blue colouring was a sight to see. In certain light conditions the indigo will appear black, much the same as the ruby red throat of the male rubythroated hummingbird appears black in certain light conditions.

Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson. 5313 River Road, R R 5, Renfrew, Ontario K7V 3Z8 phone 613-432-2738 or email jamesh@nrtco.net

GREAT-CRESTED FLYCATCHERS Great crested flycatchers have just arrived at Poison Ivy Acres. Such handsome birds, and I always enjoy exchanging calls with them. Their clear “wheeep” can be imitated. Carol McCuaig This is another species that is more often heard than seen. Listen for it at all times of the day. A CHUKAR VISITS AND STAYS Margaret and Mike Fazekas had a chukar arrive at their home on May 3. They were unsure of its name and origin. A little time on the Internet produced the name chukar, a bird from Asia. The bird sleeps on the steps of their verandah and during the day walks around the house looking in the low windows of the Fazekas’ home in Glasgow. This species is not a native and is very likely a bird that has been released or escaped from someone’s bird cage.

BLUEBIRDS AND BOBOLINKS NEST

Legion Ladies Auxiliary Catering and Hall Rentals Call 613-432-6450

Marion and Bob Colterman have a nest of bluebirds with five young. This number of eggs indicates the female bird is nesting for the first time. Secondand third-year females usually lay only four eggs.

overwinter and emerge the following May. The female may lay as many as 20 eggs, but normally four to eight are deposited in variety of locations: fields, gravel pits, railroad beds, lawns and gardens. Painted turtles spend the winter months buried in the mud at the bottom of a pond, lake or river in their home territory. Basking in the sun is their favourite pastime in summer. Several may be seen soaking up the heat on a single log.

Baby turtles get a helping hand June and Frank Shepherd gave a helping hand to several painted turtles that had emerged from an underground nest this past week. June says that the tooney-sized turtles were taken to a nearby pond and set free where they are all doing very well. The eggs were laid by a female painted turtle last fall. If the eggs are deposited in May or June, the young will emerge two and a half to three months later. If the eggs are not deposited until late August or September, they will

The Coltermans also have brown thrashers and killdeer nesting close to their home. These are noisy species and their presence is easily detected. Listen for their songs and calls. It saves a lot of rambling around looking for them. Bob Ferguson at Castleford has five pair of bobolinks nesting on his property. He says that at one time there were as many as 20 pairs in the same area.

The goal of the Bird Studies Canada five-year whip-poor-will project is to increase understanding of the current distribution and abundance of the eastern whip-poor-will in Ontario. As with many other aerial-foraging insectivorous birds, studies indicate that the eastern whip-poor-will populations have been declining since the 1980s. Dennis and Diane Briscoe have been hearing whip-poor-wills this spring. They say it is a song you either like or dislike, there is no in-between. Steve Collier has heard whip-poorwills calling for the past several years in the Black Donald area. There are very few activities that disturb the birds and insecticides are not used to the extent they are in areas to the south. The Colliers have seen the common nighthawk and bald eagles in the area. Ken and Sherry Windle have been hearing whip-poor-wills for the past few weeks and say the sound is a welcome one with the spring being so wet. If you hear this species please let us know. The current survey shows over 500 places in Ontario where the birds are present. We have added three more this week.

Wet conditions can’t dampen performances at track meet PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

After being held off for a week, the Renfrew and Area Track and Field Meet for elementary schools went off well despite some early weather concerns Friday at Ma-Te-Way Park. Rain stopped early on in the day, allowing the annual meet to proceed with few problems. Some events were moved in-

side because of the wet conditions. Eight athletes won their respective age categories outright, while another 12 finished, or shared, runners-up spots. Winners and runners-up were: • Senior female: Kathryn David, Cobden Public School 30 points, runner-up: Riley-Ann Schmidt, Eganville and District Public School 28 pts. • Senior male: Justin Wright, Renfrew Collegiate Intermediate School 28 pts.,

runner up: Connor Moss, St. Michael’s Catholic School (Douglas) 20 pts. • Intermediate female: Janessa Linton, RCIS 28 pts., runner up: Sasha Smith, Cobden 24 pts., Jill Barr, Cobden 24 pts. • Intermediate male: Jacob Collins, RCIS 30 pts., runner up: Brendan Thompson, RCIS 24 pts. • Junior female: Payton Ziebarth, EDPS 30 pts., runner up: Morgan McGrath, St. Michael’s 24 pts.

Timberwolves swing deals Millionaires win too late for Renfrew PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

The Renfrew Timberwolves have completed a nine-player deal which will keep a core of their Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League Valley Division championship club together. Three of their pre-Christmas 2010 acquisitions from the Pontiac Juniors – players whose rights would revert back to Shawville at the end of the 201011 season – will be back to defend Renfrew’s Valley Division crown. The Wolves will maintain the services of veterans Dave Hobbs, defenceman Tyler Orr and Renfrew native Jimmy MacMillan. They also get Quinton Rook in the deal.

In return, the Pontiacs receive the rights to five players, goaltender Mike Rosebrook and brother Matt Rosebrook, Kirk Skebo, Eric Logan and blueliner Pat Collins. Wolves general manager Brent Sylvester also made a second deal, getting 19-year-old defenceman Kurt Fraser from the Pontiacs in exchange for Colin Graham. Graham’s rights were picked up by Renfrew in an earlier deal last season. AUGUST CAMP The Timberwolves will hold a free-agent camp Aug. 23-25 at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre for players born 1991 to 1995. Check the Wolves website at jrbwolves.com for more details.

I’m sure this is a first – two teams that were one goal away from elimination in the first round of the playoffs, surviving to meet in the Stanley Cup final. If you recall, the Vancouver Canucks fended off the Chicago Blackhawks 2-1 in game 7 overtime, while the Boston Bruins edged the Montreal Canadiens 4-3, also in game 7 extra time. Because of that history, this observer’s prediction is for it to all come down to one goal again, the first Stanley Cup final to be decided in game 7 overtime since 1954, and only the third in league history. In front of the home crowd, Vancouver prevails on June 15. For the second consecutive year, the final has extra intrigue in that it brings together two cities who haven’t won in forever.

PETER CLARK PETER’S PUTTERINGS Last year it was Chicago, bidding for their first Cup in 49 years, and Philadelphia, who hadn’t won since 1975. The Hawks claimed the title in six games. The last time the Bruins won hockey’s top prize was 39 years ago when they were often referred as Bobby Orr and the Big Bad Bruins. The Canucks have never won in their 40-year history, but the city does have one Stanley Cup ring to its credit. Unfortunately, while the Renfrew Millionaires never did capture the Cup, the name did as the Vancouver Millionaires won five years later in 1915.

If I have my history correct, at least five Renfrew players later suited up for Vancouver, and two of the notables – Fred Cyclone Taylor and Frank Patrick, plus a fellow by the name of Ken Mallen who played for Renfrew in 1907 – helped lead the Vancouver version of the Millionaires to their lone Cup triumph.

* * * Hockey Hall of Famer Bobby Hull topped the charts for the WHA’s Winnipeg Jets in goals scored with 303 and points with 638. And for this week: Boston is trying to pull off the rare feat of losing games 1 and 2 at home in the opening round, and then coming back to win the Stanley Cup. What team has accomplished this in the 2000-era?

Dunbar shocks Seniors shuffleboard at Wing Ray’s, Reunions ROB WARREN Ladies Spring Basketball

Even in a game where teams score over 100 points, each rebound, missed free throw, or turnover can be huge. These are even more important in a game when the teams struggle to get to double digits. After an 8-8 first half in a Ladies Spring Basketball quarterfinal game, Ray’s Flowers managed a 12-11 lead over Dunbar Petroleum with less than two minutes remaining. Then Ray’s turned the ball over. The sixthplace Petroleum rushed down the court and converted, to upset third place Ray’s 13-12, and advance to the semifinals. Brooke Sweeney was impressive for Ray’s, controlling the boards and scoring seven points. Erin Kennedy hit two treys for six points for the victors. The Cinderella story continued for Dunbar Petroleum, who didn’t even make the playoffs last year. They trailed first-place Reunions (who hadn’t lost a game in two years) 16-5 at the break, but didn’t give up. Dunbar tied the game at 24 with five minutes remaining. For five minutes, every point that the Reunions would score, the Petroleum squad would match. With 10 seconds left the Reunions uncharacteristically panicked and fouled Jaime Nolan. She made the first of two free throws for a 31-30 lead. Reunions rebounded the second, had a pass deflected and lost precious seconds recovering the ball. Cindy Lacroix rushed down the court, and fired off a shot a split second too late. No basket, no finals, and no repeat of the championship for the Reunions. Cindy finished with 14 points. Erin Kennedy was the game high scorer with five treys for Petroleum. On the other side of the bracket, another half time tie (12-12) made for an entertaining second half between Frances/Lemke Cooperators and Aikenhead’s. Mid way through the second half the Co-operators scored three consecutive baskets. This carried them to a 26-20 victory and a spot in the semis. Crisp passes and strong inside play left Mid-Town Flooring ahead of Frances/Lemke Co-operators 25-8 at half time. The Cooperators hit the first eight points in the second half, but Mid-Town regrouped and pulled away 59-25. Sarah Dougherty led the charge with 25 points (17 in the first half). Kelsey Jessup finished with 19 and Caitlin Dougherty had 11. Sheila Windle led the Co-operators with 11. Mid-Town topped Dunbar’s 5232 to win the 2011 championship Monday night. See next week’s Mercury for details.

The St. Joseph’s Jaguars will have a presence at this week’s Ontario (OFSAA) high school track and field championship in Sudbury. Sonya Bergin and Shannon Charbonneau both qualified at the East Regional meet at the Terry Fox Facility in Ottawa last week. Bergin followed up her first-place Eastern Ontario (EOSSAA) finish in the midget girls discus with a second-place showing at OFSAA. Her distance was 27.55 metres. Charbonneau earned third place in the junior girls discus with a throw of 30.29. Three other Jaguars turned in good efforts. Sarah MacLaren finished in a tie in the senior girls high jump at 1.45 metres with three other competitors, but finished fifth following a jump-off. Jesse Vaive was seventh in the midget girls discus at 22.95 metres, and Kassandra Mulvihill seventh in the junior girls discus at 28.53. Bergin also competed in the javelin and posted 22.72 metres for an eighth-place finish. Athletes finishing in the top four qualify for OFSAA.

The Renfrew Mercury - June 2, 2011

Wolves celebrate championship season PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

This year’s Renfrew Timberwolves seasonclosing awards night was a bit later than usual on the calendar. But then, why hurry to finish off a great year. The Wolves were shut out in the awards department at the annual Metro-Valley Awards banquet, but the one piece of hardware the Renfrew club came later. The 2010-11 season brought the Wolves their first Valley Division title since 1999-2000 in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League. The fourth-place Wolves overcame a twogame deficit to knock off the front-running Perth Blue Wings in six games, before putting away the Arnprior Packers in five games to capture the division crown. The Wolves lost in five games to the Metro champ Clarence Creek Beavers in a series that featured some close games. Clarence Creek went on to claim the EOJHL championship. Friday night’s banquet at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre started on a sad note as the gathering observed a moment of silence for Eric Leighton, the 18year-old Mother Teresa Catholic High School student killed the day before in a shop class explosion at the Barrhaven school. Leighton was a defenceman with the Almonte Thunder and earned the team’s top rookie honours this past season. At Friday’s banquet,

Wolves team president Doug Miller passed on greetings from Renfrew Mayor Bill Ringrose on the Wolves successful season. Miller congratulated coach Tony Iob and assistants Derek Scheuneman and Kip Mulvihill, general manager Brent Sylvester, and the players on capturing the Valley title. Iob said this year’s performance was the first step of three. The conference champion and subsequent Eastern Ontario crown are what the coaching staff has its sights on now. Miller said it was an “awesome feat” for a team in fourth place during the regular season to come back from 2-0 down to Perth and later Arnprior for the division title. The Wolves weren’t far off from beating Clarence Creek also, he added. Emcee Scotty MacMillan of the Wolves executive thanked the parents. “Without them, we don’t have a hockey team,” he said. The Wolves capped the evening by handing out their 2010-11 awards. They included goaltender Richard Barr, named most valuable player of the playoffs. Team treasurer Gary Sylvester was the club’s unsung hero, and Mark Richard fan-of-the-year. Player honours for the regular season were top scorer, Derrin Lehoux; top defenceman, Erik Mask; rookie-of-theyear Brady Clouthier; sportsmanship and ability, Patrick Wren; and sportsmanship and dedication, Kurtis Leclaire and Ryan Cuthill.

Peter Kimbell addresses local and area amateur radio operators at the Best Western Renfrew Inn. Mercury photo by Peter Clark

Taking the world by storm PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

Members of the Champlain Regional Repeater Association VE3STP group and the Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES) of Renfrew and area got first-hand advice on ways to recognize storms in the area and how to report them. Peter Kimbell, Warning Preparedness Meteorologist for the Meteorological Service of Canada in Ottawa, held a training session with a group of about 30 people at the Best Western Renfrew Inn May 18. Kimbell spoke of thunderstorms, what to watch for, protocol, safety and storm myths. One thing Kimbell stressed right off the bat was that storm chasing can prove to be a dangerous activity, and is not promoted by the Meteorological Service. Many of the amateur radio operators in attendance signed up to be a CANWARN Weather Watcher Volunteer. CANWARN members are radio operators who, when they spot severe weather, send their reports to the CANWARN network controller who forwards them to Environment Canada’s severe weather office in Toronto. At the weather office, the severe weather meteorologist combines the data from the satellites and radar with the information from the ground to refine the forecast or prepare a severe weather watch or warning. “(They) rely on a network like yourselves who are out every day, can spot the clouds, and know what is a tornado and let us know,” Kimbell told the gathering. “You are our eyes and ears. Your responses are important.” COMPARISONS Kimbell said it’s hard to judge if storms are more frequent, or worse today that they were 50 years ago. “It is unclear how many might get reported. We have sophisticated technology today.”

Honour for Dr. Langlois

Kimbell noted that the record for most tornadoes in one day in Canada is 18, on Aug. 20, 2009. Tornadoes are ranked from F0 to F5. An F0 is the least potent with winds clocked between 60 and 110 kilometres per hour, Kimbell said. “An F5 tornado reaches between 420 and 510 kilometres per hour. Canada’s first confirmed F5 tornado was in Elie, Manitoba on June 22, 2007,” Kimbell pointed out. Contrary to popular belief, tornadoes do not jump or skip, Kimbell said. “The surface rotation can increase to speeds capable of doing visible damage, weaken and then increase again, so damage at surface can be intermittent along its path. So terms “tornado on the ground and tornado touchdown” do not apply. “Appearance is not an indication of its strength,” he added. Kimbell spoke of a tornado in the Leamington area that occurred at 3 a.m. in June 2010. “I was there two weeks ago. Even today, there is still incredible damage a year later.” Kimbell said by good fortune, there were no deaths from that tornado and only one injury because of glass. ‘TRAILER PARK’ QUESTION “A question I’m often asked, ‘Do trailer parks attract tornadoes?’” Kimbell said to the laughter of his audience. “The answer is actually no,” he stated. “But, it’s better to be in a building (during a tornado) than in a trailer park.” The event at the Best Western Renfrew Inn was organized by Ron Sinclair of the Amateur Radio Emergency Service of Renfrew. Sinclair also started an ARES in London, where he was the day after the local training session. For more information on the ARES, Sinclair can be reached at 613-432-3371 or 613-570-1911.

Dr. Stehanie Langois of Renfrew was honoured at the 19th annual rural and remote medicine course hosted by The Society of Rural Physicians of Canada (SRPC). During the May 27 course at Blue Mountain Resort, near Collingwood, she received an

award for long and meritorious medical service to her community. The criteria for the award states the physician must have worked in rural and remote Canada for 10 years and have been a SRPC member for at least five years.

Artist Richard Gill to speak to Renfrew Art Guild

DIANA WAKELY

Renfrew Art Guild

What a season this has been for the RAG! We have explored many avenues of art with wonderful speakers. They have taken us down their road of creativity and experiences. As I always say, an artist should not work in a void. Use the talent of others as a learning tool. Take it, capture it and enjoy it. Our group of artists who have met all winter are quite an eclectic bunch. We

have watercolorists, oil and acrylic painters, pencil (coloured and graphite) and digital artists who meet and exchange ideas. What fun it has been. We are continuing our season with an artist who is internationally recognized Richard Gill. Richard is well known for his wonderful ceramic plaques and murals. They grace the walls of businesses, hospitals, and private homes across the country. He captures the essence of the buildings or landscape with great detail. A per-

son who started out as an architect has turned the skills learned into a wonderful art form. Everyone is welcome to come and hear him at our next meeting. We meet June 7 at 7 p.m. at Trinity-St.

Andrew’s United Church. Please use the Quarry Street entrance. We as a group take off July and August for painting or spending time with family. Most of us will be capturing many photos to reproduce in the fall and winter.

An Evening of Friendship in support of

Kathy & Stuart Bromley & Family

June 4 is the day BY GWEN RUTLAND Fundraising has become an essential element to many non-profit organizations. Since, by definition, these groups do not wish to profit many people wonder why they must raise money at all. In fact, fundraising is often the only way non-profits have of gaining the money needed to rent the space and organize the programs needed to fulfill the groups mandate. Although Bernadette McCann House is provincially funded, it is the ministry’s expectation that the agency fundraise over $45,000 annually. How is this money raised? Bernadette McCann House receives many in-kind and monetary donations from groups, churches, schools, police, business, military, other organizations and individuals. How is this money used? Groups and workshops are available to women throughout the year, and in different locations across the county. A group for children, called Growing Together, offers support by helping children learn new ways of coping with their feelings and behaviours that arise in families that have experienced abuse. Support is offered to women who have left an abusive relationship and wish to establish themselves in the community. Money raised through fundraisers is often used to purchase gift certificates and food vouchers that assist these women and their children through this difficult time. Last year Bernadette McCann House fell short of its fundraising goal and therefore held its first fundraising initiative, It’s Time To Rock. This fundraiser proved to be successful and fun, so it will held again, at the Cobden Agricultural Hall this Saturday, June 4 from 8 p.m. to midight. As well as dancing to the great music of the Ryan Brothers Band, a silent auction, door prizes, and a light lunch is offered for your enjoyment. Tickets are just $20 each and can be purchased at the door, or by calling 613-732-7776.

Miss Teen Eastern Ontario holding fundraisers

Agriculture

The Renfrew Mercury - June 2, 2011

Frank Dench: well known agricultural rep for 42 years Recently, I was in the Service Ontario building in Renfrew and thought back to the time when the building was known as the agricultural office. Twelve years ago most of the ag offices in Ontario closed and the agricultural representatives were let go. The cuts did not affect northern Ontario. Does that tell you something? Was the change made because the ag reps were mainly catering to pension farmers and lifestyle/hobby farmers, such as retired teachers and other early retirees? Was it because the real farmers were too busy farming and seldom used the ag office? Was it because there were fewer and fewer full-time farmers and more and more new residents moving into rural Ontario – to try a little farming? The answers to those three questions are: probably, absolutely and definitely.

Dench had been the ag rep for Renfrew County from 1930 to 1972 and I wondered how she would refer to him. Mary’s beaming and relaxed face turned a little reddish and her eyes grew bigger as she stared straight ahead. She looked like she wanted to crawl under the table. The funny thing was that the three of us were sitting in the very room that Dench once occupied. I gave her a hint. “We are sitting in the office he once occupied. He ran this place for 42 years.” “All I know is that he is someone really important,” was the only answer she could come up with. He was!

hopefully be provided with some reassurance that the appropriate messages are being communicated through local media and online. As part of the overall communications plan, it is necessary for the hospital to gauge the effectiveness of the current communication tools and publications through this public survey. One of the key objectives of the communications plan is to continue promoting and publicizing the community hospital while providing information and highlighting achievements. Another part of the overall strategic communications plan is to inform, involve and engage patients, the community and the RVH family to ensure they all have access to highquality, accurate and timely information in whatever format they use most frequently. To what extent and the type of information relayed to patients and the public will be determined after the surveys have been analyzed, with the results being reported back to the community. The online questionnaire can be filled out by visiting the main page of www.renfrewhosp. com, clicking on the blue box and proceeding to answer each item. All responses are due back to RVH by June 6 . “Communication is two-way,” says Atkinson. “This survey is an opportunity for the community to let us know what information it would like to receive, how often and in what format, as well as thoughts about our current publications. So, talk to us ... we’re listening.” For more information, please contact Randy Penney, CEO, Renfrew Victoria Hospital, 613432-4851, ext. 260.

Renfrew Victoria Hospital is looking for your participation in a Communications Survey that is now available in paper form throughout the hospital and online through the RVH website. The multiple choice questions take just a few minutes of your time to complete and provide a wealth of information in preparing an overall RVH Strategic Communications Plan. The surveys can be found at registration desks, waiting rooms, clinics and in the cafeteria. “It is important to us that we get as much feedback as possible through this survey,” says RVH Special Projects Manager, Julia Atkinson. “It will help us determine the best ways to communicate important information about services, programs, events and health-related information.” The survey asks approximately 40 questions such as if you use information on the RVH website, which newspapers you read and which radio stations you listen to, and inquires about the type of content you would like to see in the Grand Rounds columns and Talk it Up Victoria articles. All suggestions and comments are appreciated, says Atkinson, so the hospital can better focus on what matters most to the people who use the services at RVH. Input from all stakeholders—RVH staff, the community and patients—is needed to determine how they would like to receive information about the hospital and which issues are most important to them. Atkinson feels it is the perfect opportunity to re-evaluate existing and evaluate new communication tools and

grades with only one teacher, but, not very long ago, it was more common than not. As Joy Forbes, the author of the recently published Perseverance, Pranks & Pride – Tales of the One-Room Schoolhouse, explains: “It seems a far cry from the modern school world of today, but as recently as 60 years ago it was the reality of the rural education system, which was so dependent upon the one room schoolhouse.” The Bromley Historical Society is pleased to host a

Bromley Historical Society

May I have a show of hands, please? How many of you were students in a one-room schoolhouse? How many of you taught in one? More recently, perhaps you have visited a museum housed in a former one-room schoolhouse. Or perhaps have lived in one. For many of us, it is hard to imagine a school for eight

presentation by Ms. Forbes on Saturday, June 4. The public is invited to join us for a trip into the past. If you have pictures or stories to share of your own one-room schoolhouse experiences, you are encouraged to bring them along. Copies of her book will be available for purchase. Please join us Saturday, June 4 at 2 p.m. at the Osceola Town Hall, 498 Micksburg Road, Osceola. For more information, call Patricia Van Gelder, 613646-2599.

a number of priority policy recommendations to be used throughout Renfrew county: active community environments, affordable and accessible recreation activities, community use of public space and schools, local agricultural food sources and development of community gardens, positive mental health and well being for all, safe environments, smoke-free outdoor recreational spaces and to address cause and treatment of substance abuse. Nolan concluded by quoting Frances Hesselbein. “Moving beyond the walls – in powerful partnerships that can build and heal and unify – leaders are called to manage the dream of a country of healthy children, strong families, good schools, decent housing and work that dignifies, all embraced by the cohesive community.” He stressed, “We want to change that (Ottawa Citizen) headline.

Chief Michael Nolan, director of emergency services for Renfrew County Paramedic Service, and Shawna Babcock, executive director of KidActive, Healthy Communities Partnership of Renfrew County, spoke on building healthy community. They noted the role of Renfrew County in an Ottawa Citizen front-page story in January 2010, pointing to it as a ‘heart disease’ hot spot, something they endeavour to change by 2015. “Renfrew County is leading in things you don’t want to be leading in,” Nolan pointed out. Overweight and obesity, physical inactiveness, smoking, high blood pressure and poor eating habits are all on the wrong side of the bar when matched with the Ontario average. “A priority is to improve the health of everyone in the county,” Babcock said. She and Nolan pointed to

Doris Brownlee, at right, explains how hearing devices can be loaned free of charge until the user purchases a hearing device of of his or her choice. The hearing society was among several exhibitors at the 50+ Community Showcase hosted by Renfrew and Area Seniors Home Support.

The crowds were modest, but interest and information was sufficient enough that Renfrew and Area Seniors Home Support will host another 50+ Community Showcase. That’s the word from Seniors Home Support executive director Judy Ewart after the inaugural event at Renfrew’s AFAC Wing last Saturday. The showcase featured more than 30 exhibitors with products of interest for residents in their 50s or o lder. One of the show’s highlights was the afternoon fashion show. Exhibitors included the LAFT (Local Acting Faces Troupe) Players, the Women’s Sexual

Assault Centre, the Renfrew County Paramedic Service (with information on its Heart Wise program), the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Sleep Products and Sun Life Financial. Others on site included Scentsy (which sells light-bulb-heated, wickless candles), Jane and Barry Brush’s Bide-A-While Bed and Breakfast, and veteran author Carol Bennett McCuaig, with copies of her newest book, Encountering the Wild. “Part of what we do is we’re a resource for seniors,” said Ewart of the showcase. “And this is one way of bringing products and information to them.”

Congratulations on your achievement. You will excel in this new role. 471051

Dedicating hours of their time, the committee worked to ensure a successful relay.

Renfrew Collegiate has a reputation for helping in the community and producing outstanding citizens. So it came as no surprise when two RCI students were nominated for youth citizen of the year. A prestigious award created this year, recognizes youth citizens in community. This year Paige Dillabough and Joe Steele were nominated for the award. You have done your school proud and fully deserve this honour. Our track team travelled to Brockville last Friday to compete at the East Regionals. One of the most well-regarded track and field events in the province it sees the best of Eastern Ontario track athletes compete in an attempt to qualify for OFSAA. Congratulations to the track team, which performed admirably and was a class act at the meet. A special nod goes out to the 15 track athletes who qualified for the East Regionals.

PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

A successful fundraiser was held for Neil Eady early in 2011. The Horton Township resident has multiple sclerosis, and had a liberation procedure performed in Florida last December. Eady has since felt, and has been able to function much better. Other people have noticed that also, he points out. “People say that my skin colour is better and my voice sounds much better. These are things I wouldn’t notice,” he noted. The treatment has also led to improvement in bladder control, allowing for better sleeping habits which of course improves the

fatigue level, Eady said. “There have been eight people now from Renfrew and the surrounding area that have had this procedure,” he adds. “They’ve gone to Florida, Mexico and Costa Rica. “I got a lot of donations from friends and family,” he said of the support given to him. To that end, Eady is giving back to the community, which he has done with a presentation to the Renfrew and District Food Bank. “I wanted to give proceeds from the 50-50 draw (at the fundraiser) to the food bank,” he noted. The 50-50 draw raised $652, including Julia Broomfield’s winnings of $326, which she kindly donated.

Focusing on issues such as water, poverty, and starvation, the Interact Club aims to support those in need. During the month of May, one dollar of every sundae sold at Tracey’s Dairy was donated to help build a school in Kenya, through Free the Children.

Dear Angels, If roses grow in Heaven, Please pick a bunch for me. Place them in my father & brother’s arms And tell them they’re from me. Tell them that I love and miss them And when they turn to smile, Place a kiss upon their cheek And hold them for awhile. Remembering them is easy, I do it every day; But there is an ache within my heart That will never go away.

Too dearly loved to be forgotten, Love, the Lyons family

It is said that your life is measured by the friends you have acquired, this being said, Donald and I measured large Saturday night. The outpouring of love and support was truly overwhelming, and all we can say is Thank you. CL24762

Thank You The family of the late Mary Nicol extends its heartfelt thanks for all the love and support shown in the loss of our mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, sister, sister-in-law and aunt. Thank you for all your prayers, phone calls, e-mails, cards, visits, hugs, ﬂowers and food during Mary’s illness and afterwards. Thank you also for your charitable donations and to those who took the time to pay their respects at the funeral home and/or attended the funeral service. Thank you to Rev Don Anderson for his many kindnesses and for the very moving funeral service, to Dwyene MacNabb and the choir for the lovely music, to Pastor Bill Grifﬁths for delivering the eulogy and to the ladies of St Andrew’s United Church and the Calabogie community who prepared and served the luncheon following the funeral service. A very special thank you to Dr Langlois, the staff and volunteers of Hospice Renfrew, who gave such good and loving care to Mary and supported her family so well.

We would like to give a special thank you to those friends and family that helped out and participated at our 50th birthday party. We appreciate your donations to Hospice Renfrew. Over $3000 will be given to support the care that is received there. We had a blast and look forward to seeing you at our 60th! Sincerely, Dr Stephanie Langlois and Jo-Anne Dowdall-Brown

EDGAR, Helen Eva

What support! The hugs, kisses and well wishes we received at our beneﬁt were awesome. They will live in our hearts forever. The memories you helped create gave us the boost we needed. We truly didn’t think we knew that many people. It totally humbled us. Your kindness and generosity was wonderful… We live in a very giving community and town. To the businesses and individuals, far and near, that donated prizes, food and supplies thank you for thinking of us. To the organizers, Alana Peer, Kathy Millar, Kayla Reinert and Karly Millar, your hard work and belief in “paying it forward” will be forever remembered. Your friendship, love and support during this journey has grown into a bond that will not be broken. Thank you! To Kristine Millar, Thomas Kellar and Anthony Burton, your hard work and the decorations you made for the tables were amazing. You are unbelievable teenagers! Thank you. To the vast army of workers that made the evening a success – thank you! To Delaney Levoy, you have a real talent for manicures. Also, your helping Shirley Livingston with the children means a lot. Thank you. To the “kitchen troopers”, Joni Herbert, Madeline Gourley, Debbie Visinski, Shirley Briscoe, Shirley Misner, Leonard Visinski, Rob Peer and Jeff Millar, your hard work was outstanding. Thank you. To David Menkhorst and Alex Herbert, thank you for a day of running the roads for errands. To our children Mike, Jeff and Amanda, Dave and Kayla, your love, support and strength have kept us focused and grounded. Thank you…We love you. To our granddaughter Claire, thank you for the joy you have brought us. God has blessed us richly in our lives with family and friends. Remember, “the point is not to pay kindness but to pass it on”. Your kindness will be passed on!

Love , Tony & Henny Menkhorst

DEATHS

SCOTT FORGIE Nov 24, 1990 – June 7, 2010

GOD’S LENT CHILD “I’ll lend you for a little while A child of mine,” God said …. “For you to love the while he lives, And mourn for when he’s dead. It may be one or two years Or forty two or three; But will you, till I call him back, Take care of him for me? He’ll bring his charms to gladden you And – (Should his stay be brief) – You’ll have his lovely memories As a solace for your grief. I cannot promise he will stay, Since all from earth return; But the lessons taught below I want this child to learn. I’ve looked the whole world over In search for teachers true; And from the things that crowd Life’s lane – I have chosen you. Will you give him all your love? Nor think the labour vain? Nor hate me when I come to take This lent child back again?”

June 7, 2010 A smile for all, a heart of gold The very best the world could hold Those we love don’t go away They walk beside us every day Gone is the face we loved so dear, Silent is the voice we loved to hear. Too far away for sight or speech, But not too far for thought to reach. Sweet to remember him, who once was here And who, though absent, is justt as dear. Forever Loved, Forever Missed Love Jon and the Rousselle Family CL24788

In loving memory of my dear husband “Bob”, father, father-in-law, grandfather, and great grandpa, who left us June 5, 2008

But should the angels call for him, Much sooner than we’ve planned We’ll brave the grief that comes And try to understand.” By Edgar A Guest

Our family would like to thank Dr Kemp, friend and family doctor, for always being there for our family and father; all the doctors and surgeons who participated in our father’s care, Fathers Mac and Lemieux for their prayers, and Father Mac for all of his visits to see our father. Special thanks to Fran Brown for taking such great care of our dad over the past few years. Thank you to all the people that visited, sent ﬂowers, food, donations to the RVH, masses, pallbearers, and for all your concern, generosity and love shown to our family. Special thanks to all the nurses and staff of the RVH for their professionalism, caring, compassion and love shown to our father.

RENFREW MERCURY - June 02 2011

The Voice of the Wind When the warm breeze of April caresses you part of it will be me. When you look into the eyes of my children part of them will be me. When a snowﬂake of winter plants a kiss on your cheek that kiss might well have been me. And the dust which appears out of nowhere may be part of the dust that was me. Through the promise of morning and the voice of the wind I will always have something to say. To reﬂect on those wonderful moments and warm you as you make your way. All things that we both were a part of will continue to brighten each day. Making room for the sound of your laughter by remembering I’m not far away. By David Garred Forever in our Hearts Wife Shirley, Doug & family Diane & family, Gary, Dianne & Jeff CL24717
