The municipal property tax rate is rising in Admaston-Bromley this year, but the overall increase is tempered by decreases in county and education levies.

While the township rate is up 6.38 per cent, reductions in the county and education levies mean there will be a $12.10 (1.12 %) decrease in the overall tax bill (based on a $100,000 assessment).

The county tax rate sees a $29.45 (7.13 %) decrease this year and the education tax rate sees a $10 (4.15 %) decrease.

However, with property assessments up 4.6 per cent in the township, most ratepayers face a modest bottom-line tax increase.

“This one was very, very, very challenging,” said Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe of the completed budget. “I think overall it’s a good package for 2011, building on the future for 2012.”

She thanked staff and council for their hard work. Having two new councillors did not hinder the process, said Briscoe, noting their knowledge and efforts were positive additions.

Horton Twp. budget criticized, but approved unanimously STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Horton council’s unanimously-supported 2011 budget came under scrutiny, condemnation and praise Tuesday night.

The budget was passed, near the end of

the more than four-hour regular council meeting by a vote of 5-0.

But first local resident Ray Puhalski, after invitations for comments or questions from the public, read from lengthy notes while accusing the township of past financial mismanagement and suggested council

members, past and present, had little awareness of how much debt the township had accumulated. New councillors Glen Campbell and Margaret Whyte admitted, in Tuesday’s meeting, that they didn’t know the full extent of the debt when elected last fall.

Cook captivates audience with memories of another time STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

As author and storyteller Mary Cook spoke from the lectern at the Burnstown United Church, the audience of nearly 40 people enjoyed the journey − namely Cook’s recollections of life growing up during the Depression in Northcote, just outside the Town of Renfrew.

The family house is no longer standing; it was relocated. But two of the barns remain standing, while memories of that time remain alive and well with the help of Cook’s many talks and books about that time.

Cook has written 11 books, but she says her 12th, which she is working on and hoping for a publication date in early 2012 with General Store Publishing House, may be the most difficult to write.

It’s about the 1940s and the time when she says her alcoholic father’s life started to go south and her mother’s life took a turn for the better.

But the focus of her talk May 28 was the Depression, along with anecdotes and comparisons with modern-day society.

Her talk was part of a fund-

raising day for the Burnstown United Church’s talk and ensuing Celtic tea, prepared by Mary Campbell of Glendochart Farm near Arnprior. The parish also held, earlier in the day, a silent auction, a luncheon, and its annual plant and bake sale.

Cook’s topics included her sliver of a connection with wealth and Aunt Lizzy of Regina; lessons learned at home and at school; memories of her four siblings, including brother Emerson who came into the world at 14 pounds, 11 ½ ounces; and the importance of family.

The Depression was not an easy time, with no electricity or running water, but it was home for many profound lessons, said Cook.

She recalled how her Aunt Lizzy, who was married to a railway employee, got to travel across the country without concern for costs.

During one of those visits to the Renfrew area, Aunt Lizzy quietly put a quarter in Mary’s hand. For a five-year-old, this first-time experience was exciting. But Mary’s mother asked for the quarter, explaining it was needed to pay for coal oil for the lamps.

Author Mary Cook Cook also shared memories of her young adulthood, including the times she’d come home from working at the CBC, wishing for some quiet time, but knowing it wouldn’t be there.

But the lack of quiet came with a huge benefit.

As she explained to her audience, she’d come in the door from work and see her son listening to stories of Scotland while seated on his grandpa’s knees.

And she’d look in the kitchen and see her two daughters mak-

MISSING CAT

ing bread or gingerbread cookies with their grandmother, and she’d think to herself: Who were the luckier children? Her kids, with their grandparents, or the children next door who went once a month to Lanark Lodge to see their grandparents?

She also reflected on age-old issues, such as marriage and honesty. Cook, who celebrated her 59th anniversary June 7, said of marriage: “It’s not something you can put on a shelf and hope it works.”

Of honesty, she said the lesson was driven home clearly on the day she saw coloured chalk at school for the first time.

Putting four pieces of that coloured chalk in her pocket, she ran home 3 1/2 miles and changed into her play clothes so she could draw with the chalk, only to have her mother ask where the chalk came from.

“She’ll never miss four pieces of coloured chalk,” Mary told her mom. Her mom then instructed her to run back to school, before teacher Miss Crosby left for the day, to return the stolen goods.

“It was a tough lesson, but I haven’t touched as much as a common pin today that didn’t belong to me,” recalls Cook.

“That’s how you learned about things like honesty in the ‘30s,” says the Carleton Place resident.

Later, Cook spoke from the diaries her mother passed on.

Mary and her siblings called them Mommilees that were really about life and how to live it.

Having said that, Cook read this excerpt: “It is not how much money you accumulate in your lifetime, but what you do with it.

It’s not how much you achieve academically, but how you have educated yourself in your lifetime.

“It’s not important if you have rubbed shoulders with kings, but how you have related to the common man. It’s not important if you stand physically tall, only that you achieve spiritual height.

“It is important that you know the heart is the most vital organ in your body. Not only is it your lifeline through me, it is a reflection of who and what you are.

“Remember, it’s not your aptitude, it’s your attitude, that will finally determine your altitude.

It’s not important that you compete with others, but it is important that you reach your own potential.”

STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

As an actor, she has gone through the inevitable ups and downs, but Renfrew native Jennifer Walls’ acting career appears to be on its most solid ground yet.

This past spring she lost a teaching job that helped pay the rent, but other work was already in place, and other opportunities have since arisen.

The Toronto resident has worked parttime or full-time in the industry since she graduated from Renfrew Collegiate Institute in 2002.

Think of Liz Minnelli, Lady Gaga, Dorothy (Wizard of Oz) and Magenta (Rocky Horror Picture Show) and you see Jennifer Walls, since she has played each of those characters.

Also, later this month she’ll play one of her most demanding roles ever, as Mimi, in the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical, Rent.

Mimi is a 19-year-old who definitely faces issues.

“She uses drugs and she has AIDS,” says Wells. “She does have baggage, but she very much believes in living in the present and doing what you love.”

Walls, as an actor, is also what she has wanted to do since she was a child.

“I don’t remember ever wanting anything else (as a career),” she says.

“It’s been an incredible journey,” adds the Renfrewite, talking about playing Mimi (the romantic lead), when she could be equally talking about challenges she has faced as an actor.

“It’s exciting but very intense, and scary at times. You have to go to some scary places. I have to know I’m going to die (of AIDS).”

At the same time, Walls says the role makes her want to play many more dra-

matic roles.

But first she wants to play this character as she deserves to be played.

RENT explores the life of young artists who celebrate life despite coping with disease and poverty.

The actors are virtually donating their time to do the production, whose proceeds go to the Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario for work with children who are battling cancer. What a wonderful cause, says Walls.

The musical is also important to her because important people in the industry will see the production.

“I feel like I’m holding on the door knob to my dream job, which would be doing musicals (full-time) and getting paid for

them,” says Walls.

At age 27, life in the world of music and acting is turning out for the better lately.

“I’m very close. I’m focused. I’m aware,” she says.

“I’ve watched the business long enough that I know how to manoeuvre through it. It’s not just an art, but a business. I’m networking and promoting and being a bit shameless (telling people when and where I’m performing).”

Last October, she produced her first big show, The Rocky Horror Show, to sold-out shows at the Lower Ossington Theatre, while also playing the star role of Magenta.

“I attribute much of my success as a producer and performer to the opportu-

Renfrew native Jennifer Walls performs as Lady Gaga. Later this month she plays another leading role in the Pulitzer-Prize-winning musical, RENT.

Pontiac Artists’ Studio Tour two straight weekends

Pontiac creations will captivate and charm you.

They can be seen at the 22nd Pontiac Artists` Studio Tour running over two weekends, June 11-12 and June 1819, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Twelve professional artists invite you into their studios spread throughout the Pontiac, one hour from the

nation’s capital along the Ottawa River, and in many cases, less than that time frame from Renfrew and area.

Come and escape along our beautiful country roads and discover original works of art, notes a press release.

Works are for sale and the artists will happily greet you in their studios and explain

nities given to me in Renfrew being involved with local festival and telethons and community theatre,” she says.

Other acting activities include hosting a music theatre open mike Monday nights at Statler’s On Church piano bar in downtown Toronto.

She also continues the one-women show she has done for two years.

“I have found a great niche for myself as an impersonator, a skill my mom (Caroline Lepine of Renfrew) and I learned at the Lumber Baron Festival when I was young,” she explains.

“My big show right now features my impersonations of Lady Gaga and Liza Minnelli. I’ve also been touring, on and off, for the past four years as Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus in The Stars of Pop.” This month, she’ll also perform alongside cast members of Billy Elliot and The Lion King in a benefit for the Actors Fund of Canada. She also has a summer day-care job teaching musical theatre to children.

Meanwhile, RENT is the main thing on her mind.

“It’s a role (Mimi) I’ve wanted to play ever since I saw RENT for the first time when I was still in elementary school,” says Walls.

Tickets for RENT are $25 to $55, and available through the University of Toronto box office at www.uofttix.ca or by calling 416-978-8849.

June 9, 2011 - The Renfrew Mercury

Challenging role for Renfrew actor in RENT

The Renfrew Mercury - June 9, 2011

RVH satellite dialysis unit marks five years at Pembroke Regional Hospital The fifth anniversary of the Renfrew Victoria Hospital’s satellite dialysis unit at Pembroke Regional Hospital was celebrated on May 18 with a carrot cake baked by dialysis patient Pam Collins.

Collins, who loves to bake, was one of the first patients at the Pembroke unit when it opened in May 2006.

She loves the unit for several reasons, including “being closer to home, and not having to make the 45-minute drive each way for treatment in Renfrew. It’s much less stressful.�

In fact, it was Collins who reminded the Pembroke unit’s clinical manager of nephrology Janice Verch-Whittington of the approaching anniversary a week in advance.

The unit opened with six patients for the first shift. Today, the six-bed unit provides regular hemodialysis treatment for 32 patients in the Pembroke area. “The Pembroke unit is nice and convenient and, being smaller, it is like sitting in your rec room,�

Collins said during the anniversary celebrations. “We’re all like family here.

We keep tabs on each other and wonder what’s up if someone is not here at the regular treatment time.�

In-centre dialysis works best for Collins, who first started treatments at RVH in 1996.

She enjoys the support of the unit staff and being able to go home to her family each day, she says she can leave her health issues temporarily behind.

Another patient at the anniversary celebrations was Joseph Dozois, who calls himself one of the “original six.�

Dozois, who has been on dialysis for 11 years, was at the Pembroke unit for opening day five years ago. “You have no idea how much easier it is. It’s home now and we don’t have to worry about driving,� he says of the Pembroke dialysis unit. “He particularly likes to stay in the community he has been involved in and where his daughter is active (on the Pembroke Regional Hospital board). “Getting someone to drive is

The six-bed satellite unit provides regular hemodialysis treatment for 32 patients in the Pembroke area.

the difficult part. My wife doesn’t like to drive, especially in the winter.�

Verch-Whittington says the Pembroke unit has many benefits that enhance patients’ quality of life. “It eliminates the cost of travel for local patients, reduces the burden on family members who accompany the patients to treatments, and provides a comfortable, supportive environment for dialysis patients within their own

community.�

She adds that patients “appreciate the space. “It is small and cozy enough for conversation, but it still allows them to have their own space for privacy, if family members come in or if they just need some solitude.�

Randy Penney, chief executive officer of the Renfrew Victoria Hospital, attended the dialysis unit’s anniversary celebrations, along with Chris Ferguson, vice-president of pa-

tient services at RVH, and Pierre Noel, the Pembroke Regional Hospital’s CEO. “It’s great to be able to provide local access to dialysis,� said Penney. “We were able to do it because the volume of patients in need was there.

It’s been a wonderful success,� he added. “The key to that success is a strong partnership with Pembroke Regional Hospital and the great staff in the unit.�

WHIP-POOR-WILLS AT FOYMOUNT Regarding the five year whippoor-will study: Since moving to the Foymount area nine years ago, Lynne and I hear whip-poorwills calling, especially in the early morning hours this time of year.

Blue birds are nesting in one of our houses, a pair of phoebes is nesting on one of the down pipes and we have two tree swallows in another of our bird houses.

A few days ago a male rubythroated hummingbird flew into a window and fell to the deck.

Lynne picked the bird up; cupping it in her hand the male slowly came around. After 10 or so minutes it flew off and is now busy guarding the feeders.

Ralph and Lynn Goodbody.

WHIP-POOR-WILLS AT OTTER LAKE Jean Appleby at Otter Lake sends us this story about the whip-poor-wills near her home.

“The birds have been calling for a few weeks now and one evening people that were not used to the night sounds of the country wondered why local residents did not turn of their security systems at night. When they described the sound the following morning it turns out that the “security” alarms were really the whip-poor-wills calling.”

We have heard them called several things but not security alarms.

Jean has seen an indigo bunting near her home and really

Sue and Pat Kennedy have been hearing whip-poor-wills near their home for over a week now. The birds have been regulars for several years.

Last Saturday Mae and Allan Craig had a Baltimore oriole with a sweet tooth feeding from their hummingbird feeder. The Hummingbirds are very active and did not like to share the feeders.

The Craigs heard loons calling on the Ottawa River, a sound not heard very often in the past several years. Let us hope there are active nests on the river.

COOPER’S HAWKS

CHICKADEE DISPLAY

Mary Steele has had a Cooper’s hawk come to her yard three days in a row and take a junco.

She has seen the hawks many times feuding, and believes they are from two different families.

The blue birds are not nesting yet so but they spend the greater part of the afternoon and evening sitting on their old house and visiting the bird baths.

Bruce and Helen Golden had a very disappointing event occur at their home this week. The severe winds destroyed the nest of a pair of Cooper’s hawks that have nested at the Golden home for a number of years and all three of the young died. This hawk is on the endangered list and such a loss is serious.

Joyce Calverley saw a chickadee on her deck that appeared to be injured and unable to move. The bird had

WHIP-POOR-WILLS AT COBDEN

ACTION AT THE FEEDERS Gayle Olmstead saw a male hummingbird doing his courtship display at her feeder. During this display he will do a series of deep U-shaped arcs. The air passing through his wings and tail create a loud, buzzing sound that sounds like a swarm of bees.

Blackstein to be honoured JAMIE BRAMBURGER Fred Blackstein, a former member of Algonquin College’s Board of Governors and an Order of Canada recipient, will be awarded an honourary degree at Algonquin College in the Ottawa Valley’s spring convocation ceremony Sunday.

Blackstein is being recognized for his exceptional community work and his support of postsecondary education, including advocacy for a new campus to be built in Pembroke, a construction project that is now underway.

Blackstein spent six years on Algonquin’s board of governors and in November 2008 moved the historic motion that was unanimously approved by the board to build the new Ottawa Valley Campus.

In addition to his time spent as an Algonquin College governor,

Blackstein also served as a dean at Loyalist College in Belleville after retiring as a nuclear engineer at Atomic Energy of Canada’s Chalk River Laboratories.

In December 2006, Blackstein was admitted as a member to the Order of Canada, the country’s highest civilian honour. this recognizes significant achievements and remarkable service.

In the fall of 2010, he was awarded the William G. Davis Community Volunteer Award by Colleges Ontario, an organization that advocates for Ontario’s 24 publicly-funded colleges.

Algonquin College in the Ottawa Valley Dean Karen Davies says Blackstein has been a great friend to the college.

The college graduation ceremony will be held on Saturday, June 11 at 2 p.m. at the Pembroke Memorial Centre. The convocation is open to the public and will be broadcast live on TV Cogeco.

its wings spread out, its tail fanned and its head stretched out sideways.

Joyce said that just when it appeared to be at its final moment it jumped up and flew off into the trees.

Such behaviour could be a form on “anting”.

In this case the bird could be exposing its feathers to the sun or to chemicals in the wood to get rid of insects in its feathers. Birds will pick up an ant and rub it on their feathers or lie on an ant hill. The ants secrete an acid that acts like an insecticide that would destroy any mites or lice in the bird’s feathers. Watch

for birds “anting”, dusting and preening.

CHUKARS M. D. and Jillian Wilson have a chukar staying in their garage. The

bird arrived a few days ago and does not appear to want to leave.

These are caged birds that have escaped and are friendly but not tolerant of our cold winters.

The male suspect entered the store, helped himself to cigarettes and walked away with a female. The incident was caught on video tape and Const. Burgins is investigating.

A bike was stolen from downtown Renfrew June 4. The bike was parked near Raglan Street and Railway Avenue. It was a HARO, pink BMX trick bike.

Const. Lisa Nicholas is investigating.

MILLENIUM TRAIL FIGHT An investigation is ongoing into a fight on the Millennium Trail in Renfrew on Friday prior to noon. A group of male students from both area high schools were seen fighting in the area.

Two males were seen with weapons, possibly a baseball bat and a crowbar. A charge of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose was laid against a 15year-old male. Under provisions

of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, he cannot be identified. He was released on a promise to appear in Youth Court in Renfrew July 25. More charges are pending. Const. Adam Nitschmann is investigating. Please call him at 613-432-3211 if you witnessed this incident.

June 1 at about 11:15 p.m. Renfrew OPP officers responded to an assault complaint where a 20year-old female attacked her 18year-old sister. The incident occurred in a home and the victim was treated at Renfrew Victoria Hospital for her injuries. The 20year-old was arrested and held for a bail hearing, charged with assault with a weapon, assault, and uttering threats. Her identity will not be released to protect the identity of the victim. Const.

Jeff Cassidy investigated.

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

One female was charged with assault and mischief under $5,000.

In a separate incident, a female was charged with assault and mischief under $5,000. No other charges were laid.

Karlinton Boothe, 32, of Gatineau, was killed June 1 when the transport truck he was driving crashed into a tanker that was stopped on Highway 17 for construction. The tanker was forced ahead, causing a chain reaction collision that involved two pickup trucks. There were no other injuries in that collision. Six people were injured in another crash earlier in the day.

At about noon, an eastbound vehicle rear-ended another in almost the identical spot. At least one woman was taken to hospital from that collision. Noting that traffic volumes and paving projects tend to increase along with the summer weather, police are appealing to motorists to take extra care on the highways, especially when approaching construction zones.

NEVIL HUNT nevil.hunt@metroland.com

With a few clicks of a mouse, you can be your own weatherman.

Environment Canada beams data from Franktown’s weather station around the world on its website. The data from the past three hours can be viewed on a map, with bands of snow and rain in motion across eastern Ontario. The moving maps allow anyone in the area to figure out when precipitation is likely to arrive and depart their neck of the woods.

While the Weather Network may be able to tell you the Ottawa area has a 40 per cent chance of rain this evening, the Franktown data may indicate the rain will pass your local ball diamond before the scheduled 6 p.m. start of your softball game, or well after your planned evening stroll.

Brian Wilhelm, a technical services supervisor with Environment Canada, said the Doppler radar system and its 18-metre mast were installed near Franktown and went online in 2000. The unmanned and automated equipment in Franktown reports to the Canadian Meteorological Centre in Dorval, Quebec, before making its way onto the Internet.

“Doppler radar was installed in the late 1990s as an upgrade across much of the (national) system,” Wilhelm said.

Echoes from the electromagnetic pulses sent out

by the weather station are received by a dish on site.

The data indicates if precipitation is moving away from or towards the station, and how fast.

In the time it takes you to read this sentence, the Franktown radar will have acquired thousands of bits of data, sending out a pulse

every 0.8 milliseconds.

Wilhelm said Franktown was chosen for the station when an older site in Carp was due for an upgrade.

“We needed to realign the network,” he said.

Franktown was considered a better location than Carp because it can provide radar coverage fur-

ther to the south, including communities along the St. Lawrence River.

Today, the dish that collects reflected pulses sits in a brilliant white dome on Gillies Corners Sideroad.

NETWORK COVERAGE Wilhelm said Environment Canada developed the Doppler network using off-the-shelf electronics,

and the simpler technology of basic weather stations to create forecasts.

The high-tech electronics inside the Franktown station gets frequent visits for testing and calibration, but Wilhelm added there’s old-fashioned hardware in need of regular care too.

“There are people there every two months and they climb the dome,” Wilhelm said. “They have to grease the gears.”

Renfrew County

Water wisdom

In 1994 our Renfrew Fair competition required a 16-line verse.

Since it was the year of the International Plowing Match held in Renfrew County near Pembroke, and I was exhibiting in the Renfrew Fair, I chose Renfrew County as my theme.

My poem won first prize.

It seems very topical right now, as we celebrate the county’s 150th.

A

s temperatures rise, many of us cool off by jumping in the water or going for a boat ride. Whether you dive into a pool, swim at the beach or cottage, or simply take a leisurely boat ride, it is important to keep water safety in mind.

With the boating season well underway, it is important to remember drinking and boating is just as deadly as drinking and driving. According to the Ministry of Transportation, .05 blood alcohol concentration is enough to have a licence suspended.

There is always a drowning risk around water, but children are especially vulnerable. Adult supervision is of utmost importance, and it’s essential no matter how well your child swims. For children under the age of five, drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death.

Two-thirds of these drownings happen to those who never intended to get wet in the first place, but they are often drawn to the brink of potential disaster.

Unattended children are especially at risk of drowning because they are mobile and very curious.

You can plan to reduce the risks of drowning during the months ahead. Stay within arm’s reach of your child at all times in and around the water.

Enroll your children in swimming lessons and learn CPR and first aid. Always use a personal flotation device, such as a life jacket, when you are in a boat or a watercraft. Be vigilant – drowning occurs most commonly in swimming pools, just when parents turn their backs for a split second.

Install four-sided fencing around all pools, measuring at least 1.5 metres high and include a self-latching and self-closing gate.

Raising the awareness of water safety and drowning prevention for parents, caregivers, children and youth is everyone’s responsibility.

Be safe. Be water smart.

* * * Renfrew County, what a beauty!

Has the bearing of a queen, Tall and shapely, healthy, wholesome, Lively, lovely, wise, serene.

Ottawa River hugs her shoul-

Renfrew County loves her seasons, Winter glistens, autumn glows, Spring smiles like a proud new mother, Summer one long party throws.

Renfrew County loves her people, Nationalities a score, Occupations valued, varied, Everyday she’s loved still more.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Program has potential to ‘build volume, reduce costs’ To the editor: Re: Ontario’s microFIT program In April, I sent a letter to John Yakabuski asking the Conservative Party to support the microFIT program. His office responded by saying “a PC government will shut down all of the planned expansion of the unaffordable, unworkable microFIT plan. Under a PC government there will be no new contracts of this kind.”

I find these ‘blanket statements of policy’ counterproductive other than for scoring political points. Unfortunately, I have yet to hear anybody break out the real cost per Ontario homeowner to float this program.

To date, taxpayers have experienced real increases through transitioning to smart meters, transmission line upgrades as well as HST. For some reason, the ‘uninitiated’ have directed all these increases and the resultant angst toward the feed-in-tariff program. So, once again we have politicians playing on fear and anger for political gain.

Hopefully, before killing the program, someone will crunch the numbers and establish the cost per household to float the feed-intariff program, which will then lead to a meaningful discussion as to its future.

In addition, it should be noted by all, that someone had to step up to the plate to get the renewable energy industry rolling. Clearly in our five years in the R/E business, private industry could not make it happen on its own. The current government did stand up to be counted and for the first time an in-

vestment in renewable energy makes sense.

This has led to higher volume production, which means better efficiencies, more competition, resulting in cost reductions of solar modules of over 40 per cent in the last two years!

This sounds like it is coming right out of the Tory handbook, but in this case it is the truth. In any event, when it comes to new energy production, capital costs, etc., everything else is going up while solar equipment is going down in price. Why stop this trend now? Is someone or some interest group afraid of the competition?

Historically, the government (federal or provincial) has been required to back-stop new initiatives that were considered too risky for the private sector. Think of the railroads, the St. Lawrence Seaway, aerospace industry, electrical generation and distribution industry and do not forget the fossil-fuel gang.

They have all developed with assistance from Canadian taxpayers with robust debate from all sides. The transition to new energy sources harnessed from the sun is no different than other game-changing projects that have shaped Canada and the world.

Someone has to take the lead. Someone in political power has to look at what is really going on in the world and have the courage to do the right thing.

Standing on the side-lines taking potshots based upon misinformation does not serve the debate nor elevate our society.

My company is in the heating and the renewable energy business. In the past I have voted Conservative and Liberal, so no one should dismiss these comments as politically motivated. Neither am I a tree-hugger.

Nor am I anti-nuclear.

Having said that, recent developments in Japan should force a re-assessment of the true, fully loaded costs of nuclear energy. In fact, when calculating the cost to produce a kwh of electricity, things like waste disposal and environmental degradation should be included in the rate.

This would need to include the clean-up costs for all contaminated sites for nuclear and fossil fuels plus anticipated health care costs for society.

In summary, the feed-in tariff program is moving society in the right direction. It should continue to be supported so that production volumes will increase and prices for the equipment can continue to decrease.

As prices decrease, the rate paid for renewable energy can be reduced.

With program stability within the industry, over the next few years we could be looking at another 40 per cent reduction in systems costs. This would lead to annual reductions in what OPA pays microFIT or FIT generators. This is text-book ‘build volume, reduce costs’ and everybody wins!

I say, give the industry a chance!

Eight prominent female motorcycle journalists from Canada and the United States spent time at Calabogie Peaks Resort last week.

They were in the area as part of the Ottawa Valley Tourist Association (OVTA) motorcycle familiarization (FAM) tour held May 31 to June 4 in the Valley.

Working with the Ontario Tourism Marketing Partnership Corporation and Trillium Motorcycle Tours and Events, the tour took the women across the Ottawa Valley with stops in Greater Madawaska, Whitewater Township Region, North Algona Wilberforce, Bonnechere Valley, Madawaska Valley and Petawawa.

The FAM tour showcases the incredible riding opportunities available in the Valley and provides an extensive overview of Ottawa Valley attractions, said Lauren McIllfaterick, OVTA communications co-ordinator.

The women will have a chance to visit tourist highlights, including Whitewater Rafting on the Ottawa River, Bonnechere Caves, Algonquin Way Cultural Centre, Town of Wilno and Algonquin Park.

The media rider entourage features Debbie Macdonald, production manager of Thunder Press Rider Magazine; Genevieve Schmitt, founder/editor of WomenRidersNow.com; Tricia Szulewski, staff writer and art director for RoadBike Magazine and American Iron; Christa

Neuhauser, publisher and editor-in-chief of RoadRunner Motorcycle Touring & Travel Magazine; Lesley Gering, journalist and photographer with Motorcycle Mojo Magazine; Pamela Collins, writer for Backroads USA Magazine, Kristi Martel, journalist for Motorcyclist Magazine; and Liz Jansen, freelance writer and president of Trillium Motorcycle Tours & Events.

Their first stop, upon leaving Calabogie Peaks, was Wilderness Tours, although they were taking a roundabout way to get there. After a gas stop at Calabogie, they headed toward Black Donald to begin a 300-kilometre trek.

‘That’s one thing about motorcycling. You don’t have to know where you’re going,” Collins said.

“While the journalists cover the major North American print and online publications, their experience will resonate directly with the rapidly growing women riders market,” Jansen explained. “They become role models” “Women will see a female byline and gravitate to that,” Schmitt added.

“Women are also becoming more first-time motorcycle buyers,” said Gering.

The riding journalists take to the roads, rain or shine. They simply dress for what nature sends them, Neuhauser said.

“There’s no such thing as bad weather. There’s only bad gear. Rain, that’s just part of the job.”

Collins has heard about Algonquin Park and is looking forward to that part of the trip.

She started out as a radiotelevision reporter but that all changed 12 years ago.

“When I started to ride a motorcycle, I said ‘There’s too many good stories to tell.’”

Coun. Karin Lehnhardt welcomed the riders to the municipality on behalf of Greater Madawaska Township.

Calabogie Peaks owner Paul Murphy, a sponsor of the FAM Tour, said the Valley has a lot to offer, and hoped the journalists enjoy their stay.

This FAM tour will help expose the Ottawa Valley as a prime motorcycle tourist destination to readers all over North America and beyond.

“It should be a great tour.

We look forward to reading your articles in the future,” Murphy said.

John McSheffrey of Renfrew stands at attention with members of his 7 Squadron during the Royal Military College commissioning parade.

Headed for more air time with the military STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

For the longest while, John McSheffrey of Renfrew has wanted to fly.

And now he’ll soon have that opportunity, after graduating with a first-class honours science degree from Kingston’s Royal Military College. He was the lone grad from Renfrew County late last month, as he now heads to Canadian Forces Base Petawawa to work with the 427 tactical helicopter squadron.

Then it’s out to Portage La Prairie, Man., in the fall of 2011 to start his pilot training.

McSheffrey, 22, graduated in late May while receiving his commission as a second lieutenant from Chief of Defence Walter Natynczyk.

It has been a good year for the son of Kevin and Susan McSheffrey of Renfrew.

He finished off four years at the college by filling the role of cadet squadron leader for 7 Squadron this spring.

McSheffrey was among 209 RMC graduates this year.

“I’d like to be a helicopter pilot. My goal is to work in search and rescue, but I would be pleased to work in the tactical and maritime units,” he says.

During training last summer in Gander, Nfld., he experienced several helicopter rides.

“It’s pretty cool, especially the experience of being so close to the ground that you can see everything.”

Looking forward, he adds: “I guess my goal is to do something different, certainly something with a challenge and opportunity.”

Looking back, he says of his time at RMC: “It was worth it. It was a great experience overall. Certainly, (there was) the quality of education and being with your

peers that you’re going to work with … I’ll have friends that I’ll meet five, 10, 15 years down the road.”

McSheffrey already has his recreational pilot’s licence for small aircraft. In his free time, he also enjoys hiking and mountain biking.

McSheffrey received his degree May 19 prior to a sunset ceremony that featured the arrival of the Canadian parachute team, the Sky Hawks.

The next day, he marched in the graduation parade at which he received his commission.

Mid-Town captures 2011 ladies hoops crown ROB WARREN Ladies Spring Basketball

In the Renfrew ladies basketball finals, Mid-Town Flooring opened up an early 6-0 lead over Dunbar Petroleum.

Crisp passing and strong inside play allowed Mid-Town to extend its lead to 26-9 at the half.

Dunbar found offence in the second half with excellent play-

making and shooting for 23 points.

Mid-Town responded, with great plays of their own, to claim the championship 52-32.

Sarah Dougherty led all scorers with 23 points.

Kelsey Jessup added 12 for Mid-Town.

Jaime Nolan, the hero of the semi-final game, scored 15 points for Dunbar.

RCI places two in OFSAA top 10 PETER CLARK

peter.clark@metroland.com

Five Renfrew Collegiate Raiders athletes competed at the Ontario (OFSAA) high school track and field championships at Laurentian University in Sudbury last Thursday through Saturday.

All are among the top 24 in the province in their respective events, and two finished in the top 10.

Amanda Tubman led the way for the Raiders with a fifth-place performance in the midget girls discus. Her distance was 27.70 metres.

Tubman also qualified in the midget girls shot put where she finished 14th with a throw of 8.86 metres.

SISTERS 10TH AND 11TH Sarah Dougherty also turned in a top-10 effort.

Dougherty (32.19 metres) and sister Caitlin (31.97) were a mere .22 metres apart while finishing 10th and 11 respectively in the senior girls discus event Friday afternoon.

Josh Thero – who set an RCI school record of 11.62 metres while finishing third in the midget boys triple jump at EOSSAA (Eastern Ontario championship) in Ottawa the week before – threw 11.10 metres.

Against tougher competition, that put him in 19th.

Brennan Inglis was 16th in the senior boys javelin event at 45.09 metres.

She was ranked 10th in the province, but following the midget girls discus event at the 2011 Ontario (OFSAA) high school track and field championships last Friday, Sonya Bergin was No. 1.

The St. Joseph’s Catholic High School Grade 9 student capped off her day at Laurentian University in Sudbury with a throw of 29.56 metres.

Bergin not only won the event, but did so by a whole metre (actually 1.04) better than her nearest competitor.

The day didn’t start out that way for the Jaguars’ athlete.

Her first toss wound up in the net. “Oh, my gosh. I was so nervous,” she said, before settling down.

After advancing to the final eight, Bergin took the lead, but realized other competitors were breathing down her neck.

“When I got 28 (metres) I felt pretty good. But I knew there were girls behind me who could throw 30,” she said.

As it turned out, none of them did.

With the gold medal already a lock, Bergin saved her best for last. “The last throw was my best of the day,” she said.

Local runners shine at Ottawa races PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

Sonya Bergin Her personal best is 30.58 metres, reached earlier this year.

Bergin hopes to extend these numbers as a junior in 2012.

“My goal for next year is to reach 35 (metres). I’m supposed to grow during the summer,” she added with a grin.

Shannon Charbonneau also represented the Jaguars at OFSAA. She cracked the top 10 by finishing ninth in the junior girls discus at 29.49 metres.

Renfrew was well represented at Ottawa Race Weekend May 28-29 in the national capital.

Marathoner Colleen Berry completed Sunday’s 42-kilometre event in 491st place among 4,021 runners in three hours, 26 minutes and 42.6 seconds.

Berry was sixth out of 226 competitors in her female 45-49 age category, and was the 37th woman to reach the finish.

Berry called it an “enjoyable new course,” this year.

“It is always a great event,” she added. “Any day is a good day if you can get the job done.

The race took place in humid conditions, and she had no regrets on how the day panned out.

Pembroke resident Stewart Campbell conquered the course in 3:14:13.4 to finish 15th in his male 50-54 age category and 235th overall.

Three local runners ran the marathon in the 20-24 female age category.

Amanda Bennett finished in 3:52:02.1, Rebecca Dunbar in 4:20:13.1 and Kaitlyn Arbuthnot in 4:23:18.8.

Mere seconds make all the difference A span of 30 seconds was all it took for the Vancouver Canucks to send the Boston Bruins down to a pair of heart-stopping defeats in the first two games of the 2011 Stanley Cup final.

In game one, a 0-0 deadlock appeared headed for overtime.

But lightning struck as Raffi Torres redirected a crisp Kevin Bieksa feed behind Tim Thomas with 18.5 seconds remaining.

Three nights later, with many Canucks fans still up on the concourse, Alex Burrows notched the second fastest goal in final-series history when he beat Thomas on a wrap-around after only 11 seconds.

Depending on who you talk to, Thomas, Zdeno Chara or Andrew Ference wear the goat horns on that goal.

Go back 11 seconds, and maybe it was Patrice Bergeron’s

PETER CLARK PETER’S PUTTERINGS fault for winning the opening face-off back to Ference.

Regardless, that’s how sudden overtime ends.

In game three, despite the lofty 8-1 cushion for the Bruins, it was 11 seconds again that played a big key to the outcome.

The game was still goalless when Vancouver defender Alexander Edler’s stick broke at the start of the second period.

The puck wound up at the left point, and Ference solved Roberto Luongo to give Boston a 1-0 lead.

The Bruins played with a lot more confidence after that.

One more note on how much difference a few seconds – make

that one second in this case – can make, that’s about how much time elapsed between the time Boston’s Nathan Horton passed the puck and when he was levelled by Canucks defenceman Aaron Rome.

Horton is done for the season, and so is Rome.

The league has handed him a four-game suspension. * * * The 21st-century team to lose its opening two playoff games of the first round at home and then come back to claim the Stanley Cup was the 2002 Detroit Red Wings.

And for this week: What member of the Montreal Canadiens notched the fastest goal from the start of an overtime period in Stanley Cup playoff history?

It took just nine seconds.

MANOR, CENTRAL STUDENTS TEAM UP Residents of Bonnechere Manor and the Grade 3 class at Central Public School have participated in an intergeneration program throughout the past school year. “We’ve been working together from September to June,” Manor recreation director Gladys Bennett said. The residents and students have shared in crafts, baking, decorating, music and other projects. Their latest activity was a bowling session at the Opeongo Bowlodrome May 24. Manor resident Jim Stoddart has an audience of, from left, Grade 3 students Joesiah Watson, Hallie McLean and Nicole Peplinski. Behind Stoddart is volunteer Garry Hutchinson.

Beachburg racing driver Nathan Blok endured difficult weather and slippery track conditions at the famed Mont-Tremblant race course May 28-29.

The opening doublerace weekend of the Formula Tour 1600 championship saw a large field of 31 cars take to the rain-soaked course over the two days.

On Saturday, the 17-year-old qualified in third place despite several red flags for crashes.

“Fortunately for me, I got in some fast times in the first half before the rain started,” said Blok.

The Saturday race proved to be challenging in the steady rain with Blok being squeezed off the track on the second lap.

with veteran driver, Didier Schraenen.

Sunday arrived with more rain and fog.

Blok struggled to get a clean run in qualifying due to the many yellow flags and slow cars, but finally secured seventh place on the starting grid.

The final heat was run under dry conditions and Blok was showing good speed gaining on the leaders in the final laps. At the conclusion of the race, Blok had moved to fifth.

LEARNING THE ROPES “This is totally different than karting,” said the young Beachburg racer.

“This team is very successful,” he said of the crew.

“I’d also like to thank my sponsors without whose support I wouldn’t be here racing.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ottawa Valley Glass is proud to announce some major contracts and changes.

OVG is experiencing a very busy year.

Major projects include the new trades training building at the Ottawa Campus of Algonquin College, a new school of medicine at Queen’s University, a new hospital in Fort Saskatchewan; a new library and learning centre for Nipissing University-Canadore College in North Bay; the Bonnechere Manor auditorium; and the Winnipeg Airport.

SUPPORTING BONNECHERE MANOR OVG is also contributing $20,000 to reduce the cost of the Bonnechere Manor auditorium project.

“We are proud to have been a part of this project, and being able to help bring a much needed facility to Renfrew,” says OVG president Shawn McHale.

OVG is in the midst of producing over 2,700 unitized glass curtainwall panels for the new Vanier Hall tower at the University of Ottawa. The building is being constructed by Aecon and represents a $9 million contract for OVG. OVG has recently been awarded several new major contracts for 2011 and 2012.

These include a blast-resistant curtain-

wall system for the new Thunder Bay court house. This is a $6.1 million contract led by Bird Construction.

They have also been awarded work on the new Labrador West Hospital in Newfoundland for $1.2 million.

“In this time of such economic uncertainty, it is nice to share some good news with our community.,” said McHale.

“We are fortunate to have a great local work force that has contributed greatly to these successes and we are very thankful.”

Some of the major changes at OVG involve the organizational aspects of the company.

“OVG will soon be renamed OVG Inc. This change comes as a result of the large geographical area that we now work in, and we are identified by most industry insiders as OVG in any case,” explained McHale.

Its solar division, which has been very successful, will run under the name OVG Solar Inc. The ownership of the company has also changed in the last several months with the retirement of Lorraine MacDonald to allow her to focus on work at the Whitetail Golf Club.

She has been with OVG since its beginning in 1978.

OPG POWERS UP Ontario Power Generation recently contributed $500 to Victim Services of Renfrew County Inc. OPG’s Ontario public affairs officer Matthew Mulvihill makes the presentation to Lisa Oegema, program co-ordinator of victim services.

Ralph Eady, 90, stands in front of the decades-old barn on his River Road property.

The barn was flattened by high winds June 1.

STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

A 2011 spring of extensive wind damage to buildings and trees continues.

Renfew and area was battered by high winds that created several power outages and plenty of structural damage about a month ago. But the wind-blown consequences continued June 1.

The damage included a large tree at the corner of Lochiel and Munroe in Renfrew, and an aging barn at Ralph Eady’s century farm on River Road.

Stoneroad Tree Service cut down the tree June 2 after Renfrew Hydro crew members dealt

with power-related issues.

The afternoon of June 1, 90year-old Ralph Eady parked himself in a lawn chair next to his Horton Township house and waited for the anticipated collapse of his barn. Storage sheds still hold old wheat-crop machinery, but the barn was virtually empty when it collapsed.

“I knew it was going to go down. That’s why I was sitting there,” said Eady of the barn, whose tin roofing and siding collapsed in a heap alongside broken timber beams.

The barn is several decades old. His house, made with thick stone walls, was constructed in 1845.

June is Seniors Month in Ontario, and representatives and residents from Bonnechere Manor, Renfrew Victoria Hospital and Groves Park Lodge were at Quail Creek Retirement Centre May 31 to officially cut the ribbon to open local celebrations.

“This month has been set aside for seniors,” Quail Creek administrator Bev Powell said. “It’s the seniors who have educated us.”

Town councillor Jim Miller welcomed everyone on behalf of the mayor and people of Renfrew.

He also took a lighthearted approach.

“I fit in, finally,” he said of his senior status. “Actually, I’ve fit in for the last four years and didn’t realize it.”

Education

MEAGAN BEATTIE RAIDER RAP It’s a scary moment when I look at the Week-at-a-Glance for RCI/ RCIS and see in upcoming events June 29th – last day of classes.

Pardon me? School can’t be finished yet! I distinctly remember just getting mid-term report cards last week, or was it the week before that? Of course, that is what it says, and the end of a great year at school really is approaching.

So, exam reviews are being handed out, course content memorized and hours poured into studying for final exams. Exam week is scheduled for June 22-29, so there is still plenty of time to prepare before a well-deserved summer break. But thankfully there are still things to enjoy before exam preparation. Prom was last Saturday, an event eagerly anticipated by our senior students.

The final track and field meet of the year, OFSAA, began last Thursday as RCI athletes left for Sudbury Wednesday after school.

Congratulations to Amanda Tubman, Josh Thero, Sarah and Caitlyn Dougherty and Brennan Inglis for reaching the Ontario meet. Having been part of the track and field experience, I’ve seen what goes into each meet and practice, and would personally like to thank all of the coaches who helped students achieve their potential.

On the subject of athletics, the athletic banquet for all RCI athletes and their parents is set for June 14.

Relay for Life was held on May 27 and 28. It was an experience to remember! I thought a number of times throughout the evening “wow, if this all can happen over a span of one night, what would happen if we did this more than once a year?”

It was a mixture of emotions as half the time I felt like crying and half the time I felt like I was having the time of my life. Being able to have fun in a fight against something as powerful as cancer, yet knowing we can win in the end is a moving experience.

Also, the goal set for money to raise was set for $90 000, a sum I remember initially thinking was really going to stretch our limits, but for such a worthy cause Renfrew managed to raise $91,500 for the fight. Thanks to all who participated, raised money, donated their time and money, organized, and walked all night in support of those we all love who have battled cancer, and to those who still are.

This will be my final column of the school year; it has been a privilege to share the events of RCI with the community.

VICTORIA SLIGHT JAGUAR JOURNAL On Friday, June 2 students from St. Joseph’s Catholic High School participated in several fundraising events to benefit cancer research.

Firstly, students and staff gathered in the gymnasium to witness some individuals getting their hair cut for the purpose of providing the hair to organizations involved in making wigs for children who loose their hair after undergoing chemotherapy treatments.

Students, including Alanna Moss and myself were able to cut off over 10 inches to give to the cause.

Jonathan Carlson shaved his head completely and was also able to give over 10 inches after growing his hair out for about a year and a half.

This event was held during lunch hour so students who wanted to watch had to make a donation to Relay for Life.

In addition, Madison Wren, and teacher Mrs. Renee Turcotte shaved their heads for cancer earlier on in the week and Madison’s hair will also be used to manufacture wigs.

Later that day, students and staff from SJHS travelled to Petawawa to participate in the annual Renfrew County Chapter Relay for Life held at the Dundonald Track at CFB Petawawa.

The night featured walking on the track, swimming, games and entertainment, including the band Shapes of Grey, which features SJHS students Colin Carnegie and Jon LeGris.

Overall, the night was very successful and we are looking forward to next year’s event. SJHS raised $4,000 to contribute to the grand total of $308,284 raised from all participants that night.

Also on Friday, June 3, Shannon Charbonneau and Sonya Bergin travelled to Sudbury to participate in the track and field Ontario Federation of School Athletics Associations (OFSAA) championship. Shannon participated in the junior girls discus and Sonya Bergin in the midget discus.

Both did a wonderful job as Sonya took home the gold medal.

Also, on Tuesday, May 24 Laura Hagerman attended EOSSA in Kingston and was the winner in B Division single girls tennis.

Congratulations to Sonya, Shannon and Laura on their achievements!

Our annual celebration of achievements award banquet was held on Wednesday, June 8 to acknowledge student accomplishments at St. Joseph’s for the 201011 school year.

JUNE 9, 1971 RCI LIBRARY COSTS UP $6,000 - $7,000: The indicated cost

of repairs to RCI’s new library will be in the neighbourhood of $6,000 to $7,000. As the new building was nearing completion one of the supporting pillars settled into the ground a half-inch. This caused a small crack between the pillar and the wall of the library. Soil and foundation investigations, at a cost of about $1,500, were necessary. Contractor Daoust Construction of Ottawa is proceeding with the under pinning of two columns and replacement of a water main on which one pillar was placed.

JENNIFER LANE Renfrew & Area Seniors’ Home Support

I would like to start off this month’s column by thanking Randy Foster for the incredible fundraiser on May 15 of outstanding fiddlers and step dancers.

This event is always very popular and we look forward to them performing for us again. Thank you!

On May 28 we hosted our very first 50+ Community Showcase at the AFAC Wing featuring 41 exhibitors ranging from health services, businesses, community/ recreation groups and retirement homes. A fashion show featuring clothes from Douglas Moore Furs and Fraser’s Clothes Shop was well received due to the wonderful models and great clothes.

Our guest speakers throughout the day from Smart-

care Clothing, Heritage Renfrew, Bereaved Families of Ontario, United Way, Osteoporosis, Sun Life Financial Services, Goulet Funeral Home, REAPAC, Money Concepts and Alzheimer Society were very informative. A delicious BBQ luncheon was enjoyed by many of the participants and our thanks go out to the men who prepared this.

Because the community members who came out and took part received valuable information that they can use in their day to day life, we are planning on hosting another showcase next year − keep your eyes and ears open for the advertising.

RVH to improve care with digital mammography Renfrew Victoria Hospital is moving ahead with its plan to purchase digital mammography equipment. The new equipment, which has an estimated cost of $700,000, will replace the more cumbersome and time-consuming film mammography.

RVH chief executive officer Randy Penney points out that the hospital has a solid commitment to women’s health issues in Renfrew and area.

Examples are the Regional Assault Care Program and Ontario Breast Screening Program.

“Digital mammography equipment will help us to meet our goals of providing the highest quality, safest and most timely care possible to the community,” says Penney in a news release.

IMPROVES DIAGNOSTIC ACCURACY “It can help to improve diagnostic

accuracy, reduce patient wait times and cut costs in the long run.”

“Digital mammography is faster and uses less radiation than conventional screen- or film-based mammography,” explains Phil Crozier, head of the RVH diagnostic imaging department.

“It also reduces radiation by eliminating the need for magnification views because the digital images can be manipulated and magnified.

“That, in turn, will cut down on the need to recall patients for further magnification views, which can help to alleviate the wait times for patients.”

Digital mammography eliminates film and chemical processing, which further reduces examination times, adds Crozier. Computer Assisted Detection (CAD) also can be used with digital mammography.

Studies have shown this can increase the early detection of breast cancer by 20 per cent.

Have you exercised today?

Digital imaging also eliminates the need to store x-ray film in filing cabinets.

The digital images are available electronically and can be transmitted by the Internet, allowing a medical specialist access to the same image manipulation as the radiologist.

By eliminating the use of toxic processing chemicals and film, the new equipment also reduces the impact on the environment.

MAMMAGRAPHY PROJECT RVH is embarking on a new initiative to involve a cross-section of the hospital’s community in the digital mammography project.

Horton

Continued from front page Other council members, Coun. Bob Kingbury and Mayor Don Eady, said they had been well aware of the accumulated debt, just not to the exact dollar.

Past council members, past mayor Bob Johnston and past councillor Dave Bennett, also stood up during the public meeting for the budget to say they took offence to Puhalski’s comments about financial mismanagement.

Later in the meeting, after some of his questions were answered, Puhalski said he would be prepared to apologize for his comments if it’s shown, in ensuing conversation with township staff, that his observations are off the mark.

Meanwhile, Horton ratepayers, according to Mayor Eady, other council members and acting treasurer Jennifer Barr − who Tuesday night was approved as the township’s full-time finance manager − referred to the budget as bare bones.

There will be no big, new projects. In fact, new projects are minimal, namely the new chair lift and new chairs for the community centre, a $9,000

thermal imaging camera for the fire department for search-and-rescue and identification of hot spots, and possibly a redesign of the township website.

With the help of reduced County of Renfrew and education tax rates this year, the overall tax bill increase comes to 4.9 per cent.

For a Horton residential property assessed at $107,000, the owner’s entire tax bill will increase $55.68. The average residential property, assessed at about $180,000, would faces a $93.06 tax hike.

The budget is characterized largely as bare-bones because council says it

has taken an aggressive stand to pay down a debt of $881,837. That debt was created primarily by four projects − Garden of Eden Road reconstruction, the new rink and rink roof, and the new municipal offices.

The largest chunk, of $443,416, comes from the Garden of Eden work done in 2010 after the township received nearly $900,000 in infrastructure funding from the provincial and federal government. The township had to contribute a third of the project’s assessed value of $1.3 million.

The township’s plan to pay down the debt includes current constructionloan payments of 1.55 per cent. This

can be done until 2013 and 2014 for respective construction loans, at which time Horton will be locked into semannual payments based on an amortization schedule.

Current rates for 10-year periods are 3.51 per cent.

Barr also indicated Horton will selffinance remaining debt for the rink roof and changing facilities.

This means that debt will be partly paid down from annual reserves, thus avoiding borrowing money and paying interest charges.

The plan is for the total debt to be at $690,403 on Jan. 1, 2012.

Staff and council cost-of-living increases suspended for 2011 Continued from front Reasons cited for the municipal increase include decreased funding, a drop in investment income and revenue from reserves, an increase in the fire levy, and rise in recreation costs in all wards and additional borrowing costs.

Cost-of-living increases have been suspended for town staff and council for 2011.

Mount St. Patrick Road will have patching, ditching and gravelling work done, about three kilometres of Butler Road will be gravelled, ditched, ground and treated, patching and gravel will be done on about 150 metres of McMahon Road, and two kilometres of the Rice Line will be gravelled, grinded and treated.

Waste management expenditures include $28,055 for the expansion of the Osceola Landfill Site and $5,000 on an attenuation zone at the Stone Road site.

Work on the Osceola site should add another 25 to 30 years to its life expectancy.

“We’re blessed to have that site to begin with,” said Briscoe.

The budget presentation included a breakdown of the total budget. Roads takes up 45.19 per cent of the budget, protection 16.94 %, administration 16.36 %, waste management 10.84 %, drains and planning 3.66 %, council costs 3.1 %, rec-

reation and library 2 %, building and sewage 1.08 %, and animal control 0.75 %.

The presentation also featured a breakdown of tax rates from municipalities across the county. Head, Clara and Maria posted the lowest, while Deep River had the highest.

“We’re in the lowest basically one-third of the rates of tax increases in the county,” said Briscoe.

PRECIOUS PETS GROOMING SALON

Building report on community health centre IZETT MCBRIDE, LINDA SIMPSON Whitewater Bromley Community Health Centre

Due to the closure of the Cobden site, this year’s focus for the board started off with discussions on the most expedient way to achieve funding for a new building. This was done knowing any funding from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care would be a long time coming.

The board discussed the benefits of building a new health care centre with several tenants entering into medium- and long-term agreements. Construction would be in accordance with the needs and financial capabilities of each tenant so a business plan would have rental income to cover the payments for a mortgage or debenture. The community health centre would be one of these tenants.

To qualify for the debenture program with Infrastructure Ontario, the property would have to be deeded to the municipality. This also assures the health centre facility would remain a community asset long into the future. Therefore, the advisory board concluded that involvement with the Whitewater council would be the best route to pursue.

On Aug. 22, 2010, the board presented a proposal to the members of the Whitewater Region council to consider a motion to approve in principal the process whereby the municipality would take title to the WBCHC property at 68 and 70 Main Street and to subsequently issue a debenture through Infrastructure Ontario for a new building, with this debenture being retired from rental income from the tenants. Council was unanimously in favour of this proposal.

Meetings were arranged with prospective tenants and an initial outline of their spatial needs obtained.

In the meantime, the board had to assure itself the site had no environmental concerns that would be a surprise during construction, therefore, the firm of JP2g was contacted in October 2010, and informed that the board was

considering demolition and rebuilding at the Cobden site.

The board was seeking their advise on the need for a site investigation, which they assured us needed to be done prior to any demolition or construction. Subsequently, senior hydro geologist Andrew Buzza provided a proposal and quote to conduct this site investigation as quickly as possible.

The board passed a motion at the December meeting to have JP2g conduct a Phase 1 ESA (Environmental Assessment). The final report was received in January advising “that there is little potential for environmental contamination originating from the Phase One Study Property” and that the Phase 1 ESA has determined a Phase 11 ESA is not warranted at this time.”

Advertisements were then placed in the local papers calling for interested architects to meet with the board. At the same time, letters were sent to three local firms which may express interest in this project.

Ed Shultz of Jp2g attended the January meeting to provide information on the concepts of Design-Build and Design-Tender. He was asked to provide a cost for the initial concept to kick-start the project. Once received, the board approved his proposal.

Subsequently, he has met and obtained details from all of the tenants, including the WBCHC. We await his initial conceptual drawings. Once received and reviewed, followup meetings will be held with the tenants. A business plan can then be finalized and presented to council for approval.

Jp2g will then help the board with the tendering process and contract pricing.

Hopefully, demolition of the old structure and preparation of the site can commence in early summer!

• This report comes from the Whitewater Bromley Community Health Centre’s steering committee for the new health centre building in Cobden.

Not just fruits, vegetables at Renfrew Farmers’ Market STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

The Renfrew Farmers’ Market enters its 40th season with a continued focus on farm-based produce.

Fruits and vegetables remain staples of the Saturday-morning market on Railway Avenue, but meat is gradually increasing in popularity.

Paul and Colin Fletcher of Cobden began selling pork at the market last season, and they’re back again. They’re also joined, this season, by Shannon and Tyler Armstrong of Pinnacle Haven Farm.

They’re supplying grain-fed lamb, namely chops, leg of lamb, sausage and ground pork. They also offer whole or half lambs at $6 per pound.

The Armstrongs are pleased with their lamb products, noting they’re high in omega 3s and 6s, lower in fat than some red meats, and hormone- and antibioticfree.

The Armstrongs, whose farm is located near Garden of Eden Road and Pinnacle Road in Horton Township, will expand Shannon and Tyler Armstrong of Pinnacle Haven Farm are among a small number of ven- their product line at the farmers’ mardors offering meat products at the Renfrew Farmers’ Market this season. Their specialty ket later this season, with vegetables and beef. is lamb from their Horton Township farm.

Farmers’ market spokesman Agnes Walker says market vendors continue to be part of the 100-mile diet, with the focus on local products that haven’t travelled hundreds or thousands of kilometres to reach the marketplace.

Walker’s own specialty, for the past eight years, has been baked fruit pies and butter tarts.

“We have a good variety, including meat, vegetables and crafts,” says Walker of the market’s various products. “And it’s good quality.”

Contrary to at least one report that the market doesn’t open until late June, the Renfrew Farmers’ Market began this season in May. Other products include honey, flowers, homemade cleaning products, jams and jellies, and sewing crafts. Two of the vendors are Lucie Letourneau and Beth Church-Miller.

Letourneau’s Creations By Lucie products include hanging towels and kitchen mitts for pot-luck carriers, while Beth’s Kitchen products include such specialty offerings as ice-cream topping and glazes for meats.

For more market details, contact Agnes Walker at 613-432-8918.

Community On behalf of the Renfrew and District Food Bank, local high school students will be conducting a door-to-door food drive on the evening of June 9 in Renfrew.

Food bank officials hope this drive will help sustain the agency’s food bank for the summer months - typically a slow time for donations.

“The items we need most are peanut butter, cereal,

Statue of folk hero toppled at tourist centre STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

It was a joke for one or more visitors to the Renfrew Tourist Information Centre last weekend, but mostly unwanted vandalism.

The wooden statue is a depiction of Joe Montferrand, a larger-than-life Ottawa Valley logger who’s best known as the hero in one of Stompin’ Tom Connors’ songs. Montferrand lived from 1802 to 1864.

The Renfrew-based statue of Big Joe Mufferaw was carved by Dub Juby of Valley Carvings.

The statue was found detached from its metal moorings, lying on its back and wrapped in green masking tape beside the tourist centre Monday morning.

Since a student-employee was working until Sunday evening, it is thought the damage was done later Sunday night.

Dave Lemkay, who chairs the Mercury photo by Steve Newman Renfrew and area tourism comStudent-employee Corey Grist points to the masking tape wrapped around the Joe Mufferaw statue that mittee, has a long affiliation with the forestry industry. He was not was torn from its moorings at the Renfrew Tourist Information Centre last weekend.

impressed.

Nor was Corey Grist, one of the three tourist ambassadors working at the tourist centre this summer. He saw the fallen statue when he came to work Monday morning Grist called the act of vandalism “pathetic.”

He questioned the wisdom of damaging the wooden icon, which is a popular site for many photo ops and one way to positively portray the Town of Renfrew.

“Maybe it was light-hearted vandalism gone wrong,” surmised Lemkay, seeing tape had to have been wrapped around the tall statue before it fell down or was knocked down.

The rusty moorings indicate the base of the statue, which probably weighs 200 to 300 pounds, needs an upgrade.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the Renfrew OPP at 613432-3211.

The investigating officer is Const. Marc Bennett.

A portion of all proceeds donated to the Food Bank.

Two-headed calf, grain Sail Reaper: ag museum highlights If you think you’ve seen all the antique farm machinery and pioneer collection items at antique shows, you haven’t been to the B.C. Farm Machinery and Agricultural Museum in the Fraser Valley.

On a recent visit to British Columbia, my brother-in-law, Donald Waite, took me to see four museums. We are both history buffs and were like kids in a candy store.

Donald grew up on a dairy farm just outside of Renfrew, joined the RCMP after attending Renfrew Collegiate and has lived in B.C. for over 40 years. He’s a top-notch photographer – leans out of small aircraft when doing aerial photography. He has written numerous books – loves going to museums doing research.

The Monday he took me to the Farm Museum in Fort Langley, the museum was closed to the public. That was perfect! We were given a grand tour of the place.

When we arrived at the lower level we met a dozen retired mechanics, machinists and millwrights who volunteer their time every Monday restoring old vehicles and machinery.

The man in charge of the restoration work was a big fellow with a Dutch name and an accent. In Dutch I asked him when he immigrated.

He’s been in B.C. since 1952.

He didn’t like farm work in his youth, was mechanically inclined and all his life worked as a diesel mechanic.

Hans gave us a complete tour

He took us into a glass enclosed little room and said, “Meindert (that’s my Dutch name), get your camera out again because I’m going to show you something you’ve never seen before.”

In front of me at eye level was a two-headed Hereford calf – a red body with two white faces.

The calf was born on a farm in Brooks, Alta., in 1980 and lived three weeks. It was a big calf !

McNab-Braeside

JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

The Braeside River Drive event committee is ‘running rapid’ as it gears up for McNab Days, McNab-Baeside’s annual celebration of heritage and rural living.

Respecting McNab-Braeside’s logging heritage, the Braeside River Drive is a celebration of lumbering on Chats Lake, central to the founding of Braeside and Sand Point.

McNab-Braeside will have the distinct honour of hosting the W.D. Stalker, the last operating steam Alligator boat in the world, in time for the River Drive June 25.

The publication Alligators of the North, released in 2010, documented the importance of the Alligator boat in the economic

stability of the Canadian lumber industry, including that of the Ottawa Valley.

With its steam-powered winch and shallow draft, the Alligator extended the lumbering livelihood of many McNab-Braeside families from the 1880s through to the 1940s.

A last reminder of the by-gone era when lumber mills lined the shores of the Ottawa River, the W.D. Stalker will participate with other heritage and modern day river craft in a Bristol-toBraeside flotilla.

Peter and Barbara Haughton will be towing their heritage barge, once the bunkhouse for lumbermen on the river. The Haughtons have an extensive photo collection of heritage river craft and look forward to swapping stories with locals who recall “the good old days.”

Set to leave Norway Bay in the Pontiac at about 9:30 a.m., the flotilla will make the crossing to Red Pine Bay on the Ontario side, arriving about 11 a.m.

On its arrival the flotilla will be greeted with other local boats, music, lunch items for sale by the Lions Club and displays by the Arnprior-McNab-Braeside Archives and the Ottawa Riverkeeper.

The river craft will be available for viewing during the festivities, which run until 4 p.m.

Admission to festival events will be $3 or $10 a family at the gate. Festival passes that provide admission to all municipal McNab Days events are $10 or $20 a family.

Volunteers wishing to participate in the Braeside River Drive should call committee chairman Dan Q. Smith at 613-623-0983.

Representatives from both the Ontario and Quebec side gathered March 14 to discuss the Norway Bay to Braeside river drive planned June 25 as part of the McNab Days celebration. In the front, from left, are Brian Rafter, Barb Haughton, Peter Haughton, Bristol Coun. Steve Forbes, McNab-Braeside Coun. Robert Campbell; and in back Garry Brake, Tom Clouthier, Bristol Mayor Brent Orr, Braeside River Drive committee chairman Daniel Q. Smith, Heather Lang and Dave Lemkay of the Renfrew Industrial Commission.

World of Life Ministries at 8 Argyle and Munroe Streets in Renfrew has a special guest Sunday, June 12 at 7 p.m.

Through the miracle working power of God, a polio victim’s leg grew about three inches in less than a minute.

She tells her own story.

At two and a half years old, Zepure Lakhoyan was struck with polio and as a grown woman her future was not encouraging.

Growing up, her left leg grew to be three inches shorter than the right leg.

Her doctors had informed her that one day she would have to start using a wheelchair.

But, she says that prognosis all changed about a year ago when she was prayed for. Within minutes she was on her feet walking on legs that were now even in length.

Keeping her balance was a new challenge because she had never known what it was like to walk normally. After stumbling a few times, Lakhoyan quickly adjusted to the new leg length.

Today, she is enjoying walking and other activities she could never do.

The down-side is that her whole wardrobe of slacks had to be discarded for new ones. This she gladly accepts.

Now Lakhoyan says she lives each day with overflowing gratitude in her heart for what the healing power of God did.

There will also be inspiring gospel music by Cathy and Leonard Watson and friends, and prayer for the sick by Bill McMillan.

Continued from Page 29 With principal payments of $71,080 annually, the plan calls for the debt to be paid off in 9.5 years.

In efforts to be as cost-efficient as possible, the township plans to take four major steps before preparing a 2012 budget.

These are: 1. a review of all municipal property to locate surplus properties that could be sold to reduce the debt; 2. a review of all township equipment to identify any surpluses that could be sold; 3. a review of all municipal fees; 4. a staffing review by Renfrew County human resources director Bruce Beakley, to ensure Horton has appropriate staff in place to meet the needs of ratepayers and government agencies.

Horton’s 2011 budget will create a tax levy of $1,429,034, or 8.5 per cent higher than in 2010.

Its municipal levy in 2010 was $1,294,721.

The entire tax levy – collected

by Horton on behalf of the county, the school boards and itself – is $3,570,022 in 2011. Horton’s portion of the 2011 bill represents a 2.06 increase in its own tax rate over 2010, according to Barr.
