Bennett honoured at New Year levee David Bennett shakes hands with Cheryl Gallant while receiving the commendation award last Saturday afternoon. He donated much time and resources to Horton Township’s community centre. For more on Saturday’s New Year’s Levee and awards ceremony, see page 2.

News – The Liberal Party of Canada has up to five potential candidates vying to face off against sitting MP Cheryl Gallant in this year’s federal election. The party has approved two nominations, Renfrew residents Danny Janke and Jeff Lehoux, and is considering three others. Brendan Edge is an Arnprior student attending McGill University. Rod Boileau, also from Arnprior, was the Liberals’ candidate in the riding in last year’s provincial election. Jacob St. John rounds out the contenders. There is no timeline on when the Liberals will have a candidate in place other than a statement saying it will be “in the next few months.” The riding association was scheduled to meet Tuesday (Jan. 6). Janke, who lives in Renfrew, is a retired manager with 37 years service at the Algonquin Forestry Authority (AFA). He holds a masters of business administration from the University of Ottawa, and has worked with government officials, business and communities affected by the forestry sector.

R0132957843

Under his leadership, AFA recently won awards at both the national and provincial levels. Janke and three siblings were raised in Pembroke by a single mother. He has been married to Annette for 28 years. They have three children, plus Janke’s daughter from a previous marriage. Lehoux is a Renfrew resident and war veteran with humanitarian experience. He served almost 10 years in the Canadian military, including time as a medic in Afghanistan. Returning as an injured (therefore retired) member of the military has given him first-hand knowledge of the emotional, physical, financial and other costs associated with Canada’s veterans. He says he would work to improve the veterans’ affairs department. Lehoux also did humanitarian work in Cameroon to improve infrastructure, even negotiating an agreement between two tribes to share water. Every paid-up member of the Liberal Riding Association will be able to vote when the party elects its candidate. Gallant, the Conservative MP, has represented the Renfrew-NipissingPembroke riding since 2001.

MP Gallant honours community volunteers from Calabogie, Horton

derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – Three residents from Horton and Calabogie were honoured by the federal government prior to the annual levee by elected representatives on Jan. 3. Stuart Nicholson and David Marshall Bennett of Horton, along with Calabogie’s Clay Dawdy, were named recipients of the 2015 Member of Parliament Commendation. The glass-plated award for community voluntarism was presented by Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant at the Cobden Agricultural Hall. The award evolved out of the Queen’s Jubilee award where hundreds of area volunteers were nominated but only a handful selected. Gallant said recognition, usually a surprise to the recipient, should be given to those who help build their community. “We thought it was a good idea to give similar attention and praise to those who don’t expect any praise,” Gallant said. “They are the unsung heroes of our communities.”

INSIDE

Nicholson was given his award for “his selfless acts of kindness toward others,” which was read out as he mounted the podium where Gallant awaited. “He puts aside his own personal commitments to volunteer his time at Castleford United Church, Carp Fair, Food Grains Project, the Pakenham Curling Club, the Horton Community Centre, Shawville Cemetery, the annual Blue Grass Festival in Horton. “He is a most humble, unrecognized gentleman who performs many good works,” concludes the description. Nicholson, who lives in the Castleford area, is the father of renowned sledge hockey star Todd Nicholson. The proud father was convinced he was at the event for another award presentation to his son. “It came as a complete surprise,” Stuart said. “I enjoy (volunteering). It’s a social thing for me. I get as much enjoyment out of it as anything.” Todd was pleased the family could keep it a secret and noted his dad is a worthy recipient.

“I think it’s great. A real surprise for him,” said Todd, a member of the International Paralympic Committee board. “He doesn’t think twice about helping out any member of the family or somebody else. He’s always been a huge supporter of the community and he’d be the last to ask for anything in return.” Bennett’s description details “selfless acts of generosity and goodness toward Horton Township. “The community centre was built in a large part with your company’s resources, which you donated the time and machinery to the Horton Township Community Centre.” Bennett is also a township councillor, being elected Oct. 27 after a term on the sidelines. Dawdy’s description focused on his contributions to sport and military veterans. “You are receiving the 2015 Member of Parliament Commendation due to your dedication and commitment to the Adaptive Ski Program and Snowboarding Program. “The Adaptive Ski Program and Snowboarding mission is

to enrich the lives of persons living with disabilities through adaptive skiing and snowboarding. “Clay seeks to enrich the lives of injured soldiers by or-

ganizing winter sports clinics for injured soldiers and veterans, including their spouses.” Other recipients include Kathy Haycock of Eganville, Gwen Greenstock of Petawa-

Kimberley O’Shaugnessy, I Choose RVH campaign manager, John Wilson, Margaret Wilson, Barb Desilets, RVH Foundation executive director, Chris Ferguson, RVH vice-president of patient care services, Teresa Enright and Kierstin Albert.

Community - Friends, family and neighbours joined Wilson Financial & Friends for Charity for their Annual Dinner Theatre Event on November 29 at the Renfrew Recreation Centre. The sold-out evening was filled with laughter generated by the Christmas play entitled “A Snow White Christmas” performed by The Really Cool Initiatives Theatre Group. In keeping with the theme of the evening, a traditional Christmas turkey dinner was catered by the Miss Teen Ontario East Pageant organization. J.S. Wilson Financial Management would like to thank everyone who was involved in

making this evening a wonderful success. A total of $15,250 was raised at the event, which included personal donations, raffle ticket sales, a 50/50 draw, and a silent and live auction of unique items donated by members of the local business community and corporate sponsors. Margaret and John Wilson feel a great sense of pride in their hospital. Giving back to the community and RVH specifically is very important to them. “Having a hospital that is there for the community 24/7, no matter what life challenges may present themselves, is so

important,” says John. “It’s also the largest economic driver in our region and we are grateful that it is a part of our community.” Funds raised at the event will benefit the I Choose RVH campaign to support the largest expansion and redevelopment in the history of the Renfrew Victoria Hospital. “It’s only with the ongoing support of such an outstanding community of donors that projects such as this are possible,” notes Barb Desilets, RVH Foundation executive director. “We are grateful to the Wilson’s and all who supported their event,” she said.

Domestic disputes can affect children long term, says OPP News - Renfrew OPP officers responded to eight domestic disputes from Dec. 21 to 28. One male was charged with assault while another male was charged with domestic mischief. Every year in Renfrew, numerous children are witnessing domestic disputes and violence in their homes. Long term, many of these children will be involved themselves in domestic disputes and the cycle of violence will continue. Most experts believe that children who are raised in abusive homes learn that violence is an effective way to resolve conflicts and problems. They may replicate the violence they witnessed as children in their teen and adult relationships

and parenting experiences. Boys who witness their mothers’ abuse are more likely to batter their female partners as adults than boys raised in non-violent homes. For girls, adolescence may result in the belief that threats and violence are the norm in relationships. If you or someone you know is involved in an abusive relationship, help is available. Call the Bernadette McCann House for Women at 1-800-267-4930, the OPP at 1-888-310-1122, your local hospital, your doctor, or a trusted friend or family member. In an emergency call 9-1-1.

Achievement honoured in Admaston-Bromley Township Peter Clark

peter.clark@metroland.com

News - It was a special evening for both Admaston-Bromley Council and the township Dec. 18 as many residents received outstanding achievement awards for their accomplishments in 2014. Mayor Michael Donohue addressed each recipient while he and clerk-treasurer Annette Louis presented the awards. “The township is not the people sitting around this table working in this building. “The community are the people that comprise this township, that live in this township, that make it tick, that make it so wonderful, that make everybody want to live here,” the mayor said. “These particular individuals tonight that we are honouring, have been recognized for other things and we certainly think that we should second those recognitions.” • Davdonest Farms: David and Joan Reid’s family was awarded BMO honours as one of Ontario’s top-10 farm families. The BMO Ontario Farm Family Awards were created to promote renewed urbanrural relationships and recognize outstanding Ontario farm families who best represent the value of the family farmer. The Reid family farm has had five generations working the land, milking cows and raising their children to be upstanding and shining examples of community spirited individuals, Mayor Donohue said. • Savanna Enright 16 years old, daughter of Michael and Leanne Enright of Douglas is a young entrepreneur who began her home based business, Chalk of the Town, as one of the Renfrew County’s summer company proprietors. Savanna was a regular vendor at the Cobden Farmer’s Market selling her refurbished furniture pieces. She jokingly stated, “ I really like doing the refurbishing of furniture pieces, it’s better than

Standing are Dr. Craig Appleyard, Tom and Lynn Agnew, David Reid, Mayor Michael Donohue, Kim McIntyre, Agnes Lynch, and Betty and Alex Briscoe. milking cows.” Savanna buys a lot of her furniture at auctions sales and her collection of pieces at one point filled the family garage and spilled over into the machine shed. • Kim McIntyre has been to Cuba a couple of times as a member of the Salvation Army’s Mission Cuba 5 and previously Mission Cuba 3. Every team member pays their own transportation to volunteer in planned projects, which this year included reroofing three buildings, including a church that had its roof blown off during a hurricane. Kim had a chain and cross which she received for five years service at Quail Creek Retirement home and she gave this to a woman named Mercedes with whom she had become great friends with during her trip. Mercedes was very overwhelmed and thankful of this selfless act of kindness.

“We should recognize that here, too,” Mayor Donohue said. • Alex and Betty Briscoe celebrated a century of farming in the Geographic Township of Admaston. W.T. Briscoe, Alex’s grandfather was born in 1882 and raised on Cheese Factory Road in Northcote. W.T. Briscoe purchased the farm on Foy Road from the Campbells in 1914 and raised six children with wife, Bella until he passed away in 1953. The farm was purchased by James Thom after Bella passed away in 1965 and was bought by Alex and Betty in 1988. The Briscoes raised three children and strive to keep the family farm roots alive and flourishing. In 2004 Alex and Betty purchased the neighbouring farm formerly owned by Jack and Sara Campbell. Daughter Melanie and husband Travis live there and proudly continue the fam-

ily farming tradition. • Dr. Craig Appleyard was honoured as one of the eight recipients of the Ontario Medical Association’s Glen Sawyer Service Award. This award is presented to physicians who offer significant service to the Ontario Medical Association, the medical profession and the public at the community level. Craig was recognized for rejuvenating the OMA’s local branch, the Renfrew County Medical Society and being an active member of the OMA section on complementary integrative medicine. He has also facilitated workshops on musculo-skeletal medicine as a trained peer presenter of the Ontario College of Family Physicians. • With 100 years of successful farming tradition in the Geographic Township of Bromley is the Agnew Family, Tomlyn Farms. James Agnew was born in County Cork, Ireland in

1842 and in 1856 his family immigrated to Canada. His beginnings in Canada as an orphaned and penniless 14-year-old child make the accomplishment of owing his own farm at the age of 27 a true inspiration of determination and hard work. An old saying goes: The first generation builds a business; the second generation makes money; and the third spends it. But both the second and third Agnew generations kept expanding. After 100 years, the Agnew Farms in Pine Valley under Tom and Lynn Agnew continues to progress and flourish. • On June 18, 2014 Agnes Lynch was the worthy recipient of the Volunteer of the Year 2013 awarded by the Ontario Long Term Care Association. A member of Groves Park Lodge Auxiliary, Agnes is a fun loving, dedicated and hard working woman,. Her great sense of humour brings comfort and joy to all the residents and staff. Her giving spirit and wonderful sense of fun may be a legacy from her parents Anna and Anthony VanWoezik who opened their home in the Dutch Village of Helenaveen during the horrors of World War II to an abandoned Jewish boy. • Keryl Banks, with Richard McPhail, operates a Therapeutic Riding Program at Victory Farm on Cheese Factory Road. This program provides a welcoming, supportive environment to people living with disabilities and provides them the chance to experience the therapeutic benefits of horseback riding which brings them dignity, independence and integration. This wonderful program is a labour of love for Keryl and her greatest reward is to see the smiling faces of both the participants and the wonderful volunteers who have opened their hearts to see this dream of Keryl’s become a success. “The support of the township means so much to us,” Banks said. “We started in 2012 with six riders and 2014, we had 36 riders, and we have a wait list for next year.”

News – Local military veterans are receiving the attention they deserve from the federal government, Cheryl Gallant suggested Saturday. The Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP was at the annual New Year’s levee she co-hosts with her provincial counterpart John Yakabuski, held this year at the Cobden Agricultural Hall. She listed the highlights of 2014, and included among them several treatment programs that benefit soldiers at Garrison Petawawa in her riding. “From the ones we’ve heard from they’ve told me they are receiving exemplary care,” Gallant said. “It’s not always as timely as we’d all like. But if there is any obstacle we can intervene on their behalf.” Two days after her Jan. 3 comments, Julian Fantino, the federal veteran affairs minister, was replaced. He had been under intense fire from veteran groups for several months. Last week, the auditor general laid bare new problems with the department’s efforts to treat veterans suffering chronic mental health issues, saying those seeking help faced long waits that threatened their recovery. Fantino was replaced by Erin O’Toole, a southern Ontario MP and former member of the Royal Canadian Air Force.

613-433-1111 John Yakabuski chats with constituents at the annual levee hosted by the MPP and his federal counterpart, MP Cheryl Gallant.

Gallant also said she intends to run in this year’s election, scheduled for Oct. 19. “There is still much to be done and I am the best person for the Conservatives to meet the needs of people in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke,” she said. The veteran politician will face one of five Liberal nominees for that party’s candidacy, along with a yet-to-be named NDP candidate. Among Gallant’s accomplishments last year was her private members’ Bill C-462 - the Disability Tax Credit Promoters Restrictions Act - receiving Royal Assent. “This legislation will help ensure that disabled Canadians, veterans, caretakers and guardians receive the financial support they deserve, instead of fuelling a cottage industry that feeds off the misery of others,” she said when it passed in the spring. She was also pleased to help link Arnprior seniors with services in their area during a fall event she hosted. YAKABUSKI ON ENERGY

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski co-hosted the levee, which saw more than 100 constituents brave a snowstorm to attend. He said 2014 was bitter-sweet for him; his Progressive Conservatives having lost the election that saw the chief whip convincingly win

another term in office. Yakabuski looks forward to the party selecting a new leader in May. Meanwhile, as energy critic, he will continue to hammer the Liberals over spending on renewable sources. That is also the most important local issue, he said. “The big issue this year is the lack of progress doing something about skyrocketing energy bills,” he said. “The lack of action has a lot of people frustrated.” On the much talked about wrangle between Premier Kathleen Wynne and Prime Minister Stephen Harper, the local MPP sides with the federal government. He said the Liberal leader takes every opportunity to criticize Harper, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise when a year passes without him agreeing to meet her. Wynne has long maintained the federal government takes much more money from Ontario than it gives back. She demanded a meeting with the prime minister to correct the imbalance. Harper relented on Jan. 5, agreeing to a meeting. Yakabuski said the funding system in place is a progressive tax system, meaning those with more are expected to contribute more, just like the personal tax system. That is why Ontario contributes more than in gets in return. Besides, he added, getting another $600 million out of the federal government is not going to do much to address the $12.5-billion provincial deficit.

Don’t be boring in 2015

Opinion - In a world filled with uncertainty, one thing is certain for 2015. There will be a federal election. And the national, non-partisan, youth-led charitable organization Apathy is Boring is already busy trying to mobilize young people to get out and vote. In early December the group issued a press release noting that in the 2011 federal election, only 38.8 per cent of Canadians aged 18 to 24 voted, continuing a long-term downward trend. “If this issue isn’t addressed, in a generation, Canada will become a country where the majority of citizens don’t vote,” the Dec. 3 news release said. On Nov. 28 Apathy is Boring gathered its Council on Youth Electoral Engagement to discuss youth mobilization. The CYEE, chaired by Jean-Pierre Kingsley (former chief electoral officer of Canada, 19902007), shared their expertise with Apathy is Boring to help create an ambitious 2015 federal election

campaign focused on informing and motivating youth to vote, the release said. Apathy is Boring will be creating how-to vote guides that are visually compelling, informative, and offer youth the answers they want to know about the voting process, and a video public service announcement featuring inspiring Canadian stories of democracy and civic engagement. The group also plans walk-to-the-polls events in major cities across Canada on voting day, and registration drives through what it calls proven peerto-peer strategies. “The issue of youth electoral engagement is something that affects all Canadians. The integrity of a strong democracy is only as affective as the rate of participation. I’m proud to be supporting Apathy is Boring’s efforts to engage young Canadians,” says Kingley. The right to vote is a precious thing and every Canadian owes it to himself or herself, and to future generations, to ensure the election process is practiced, respected and protected.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Taking aim at your friends and neighbours There are limits to what government can do To the editor:

Opinion - An article in the Renfrew Mercury December 25, 2014 entitled “Who to call if you have a concern about firearms” could raise some problems. It’s always good to be reminded of our safety obligations with respect to firearms. However, let me quote one paragraph in the article – “If you have firearms in your home, or if you’re visiting someone who does, Smith advises you to make sure safe storage practices are in place. The Canadian Firearms Program has a toll-free number you can call to discuss any safety concerns related to firearms.” One can interpret this article as snitching on your friends or neighbours should you observe in your estimation unsafe storage of firearms and ammunition. I can see a scenario now where someone enters your home and feels that it’s their responsibility to ask if you are a firearm owner. This visitor would ask to see the storage areas to pass judgement based on this article as to whether the owner is in compliance with the

firearms laws/regulations. Based on this visitor’s judgement (who may not be a firearm owner or who has never passed the Canadian Firearms Safety Course), the article advises to call the Canadian Firearms Program or “call 911” or your local emergency Police number. I would like to stress that all legal firearm owners must take training and/or pass the Canadian Firearms Safety examination, in addition to being security screened, before they can acquire a Possession and Acquisition licence (PAL). The mandate for this training in the province of Ontario is the Firearm Safety Education Service of Ontario overseen by the Chief Firearms Officer of Ontario. Furthermore, the RCMP has the mandate for Canada. This article written by the Canada Safety Council insinuates that it has the mandate for firearms safety training and the issuance of firearms licences. The whole tone of the article in question smacks of a Liberal or NDP mentality.

Doug and Lynn Janney Renfrew

To the editor:

Opinion - Having read the recent editorial (Generosity wonderful, but governments should help too, January 1, 2015) I wish to convey two ideas: first of all, when we point the finger at government we are only pointing at ourselves; and, secondly, communityservice organizations exist precisely because there is only so much a government can do. If you must point a finger at the government, the people we elect can only pull on certain levers to bring change. The government could redistribute resources (funding) allocating more to the non-profit organizations you identify. Or, the government could

impose higher taxes on all of us, to provide more funds to the organizations you claim are in need. But, that lever-pulling and the redistribution of resources will only expose other “have-nots” who will then cry for more funding; a vicious circle indeed. Higher taxes will have a more negative impact on mid- to lower-incomes – the very segments of society from which are drawn the majority of volunteers. In response to higher taxes, they will work even harder, meaning less time to volunteer for the organizations you identify. Yet another vicious circle. See LIMITS, page 9

In summary, the government is us. Those we elect make hard decisions distributing our limited resources amongst all the important needs. If they don’t get it right, we need to tell them, sometimes via the electoral process. More often than not they heed our pleas and tweak the distribution scheme. Where needs are not met, society – us – steps in. According to Alexis de Toqueville, we have been doing so since the late 1700s in North America. Specifically, when government resources are not enough to cover all of the needs, society comes together, forms non-profit organizations, and we help ourselves and our fellow citizens. Now, if you still feel something’s not right, then it’s time to look inward. You might then notice we’re not volunteering as much as we used to. We don’t care for each other as much as we used to. More and more of us are suffering because fewer of us are stepping up to the plate to pitch in where the need is greatest. You only need to read the outstanding work of Robert D. Putnam (Bowling Alone, 2000) to realize how desperate some segments of society are, and how little it seems we are able to do. By no means am I suggesting we are a lazier generation. By no means am I suggesting we are less caring. By no means am I saying we are less generous. What I am saying is that there are a lot more things going on that get in our way. Some might say the government taxes us too much, and this explains why we toil away at jobs for

much less than those who came before us. Some might say we are not as healthy, and point to the epidemic of obesity as a sign. Some might say we are increasingly burdened with other ailments affecting family members, like autism, cancers, dementia, Alzheimer’s and more – all of which suck the life energy out of an increasing number of home-based caregivers. For these and many other reasons, our generations are more and more challenged to find the time and energy to devote to these important community organizations. For those who now manage these organizations I believe they would wish to emphasize how related changes to municipal, provincial and federal legislation have made non-profit management so much more difficult for them. If there is one area governments can help, legislative support would be it. Finally, the lines between the for-profit sector and the not-for-profit sector have been blurring over the past few years; competition is fierce, and this, too, makes it extremely difficult for volunteers to manage these not-for-profit

See INVASIVE, page 10

organizations. Let me end on a good note: on page 20 of the same issue of the Renfrew Mercury you covered a wonderful and entirely relevant story reflecting on the outstanding work being done at the RCAF Association 433 (Champlain) Wing. The Wing and its volunteers had generated $44,500 in donations for 2014, and many local organizations clearly benefited from such philanthropy. However, I can recall many years ago, the Municipality of Renfrew waived property taxes for the Wing, for 10 years. I’m not sure if that deal has yet expired, but I am certain that “government” decision was helpful. Perhaps this means all of the organizations who benefited from 433 (Champlain) Wing’s generous donations also need to express their gratitude to the Renfrew Town Councils past and present. The individual members of 433 Wing who volunteer of their time and energy do indeed deserve a tremendous vote of thanks, too.

goes hand in hand with species extinction. No animal changed the history of North America more than the reintroduced horse through agriculture and warfare. We are also responsible for the extinction of mastodons and woolly mammoths at the same time we were killing off all the horses. With a species extinguished, every Grade 9 student knows (or should) that ecological niche has been vacated and something will move in to fill the void. But predicting which species will become established is impossible. Homo Sapiens, 15,000 years ago, could not have predicted that killing off mastodons and horses would allow bison to become invasive throughout Central North America.

If nature was static then there would not be any life on the Galapagos Islands which were volcanic in origin, as are the islands of Hawaii and Iceland where every species is invasive, including the Polynesian and Vikings ancestors.

Opinion - The Invasive Species Act is a silly idea. The concept of invasive species is not an ecological concept rather an economic-political one based on a lack of understanding of the natural history of the organisms around us. Here is a short list of alien species - chicory from the Mediterranean, Queen Anne’s lace from Britain, apple trees from Central Asia. Many meadow plants are alien like purple clover, buttercup, daisies, yarrow and golden rod. These have become part of our life as food, medicine and beauty. Alien animals include starlings, honey bees, and earthworms. Brown trout came from Germany, rainbow trout from the Rocky Mountains. Human activity has brought coyotes and

white tail deer displacing grey wolves and moose. Camels evolved in North America but bedouins are not trying to eradicate them nor are we trying to reintroduce them to North America as was done with horses by the Spanish. Go back and rewatch the film Jurassic Park as the mathematician tries to explain through chaos theory that nature always finds a way to ‘break out.’ The Invasive Species Act makes the following three assumptions which have proven to be incorrect. 1). “The environment is constant. Therefore the present complement of species should remain constant.” The study of nature reveals that it is far more dynamic than we could ever imagine.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper highlights government’s 2014 achievements Opinion - In a Dec. 31 statement, Prime Minister Stephen Harper highlighted some of the government’s major accomplishments in 2014: “I am proud of what our government has achieved for hard working Canadians and their families in 2014. “Our government announced measures that will put considerable money back in the pockets of Canadians through the doubling of the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit and making it refundable, the Family Tax Cut, the increased and expanded Universal Child Care Benefit, and the greater Child Care Expense Deduction limits. In fact the average benefit to Canadian families of measures announced in 2014 will be over $1,100 per year. “Through major infrastructure initiatives under the New Building Canada Fund and other infrastructure initiatives/investments, the government is committing billions of dollars to support projects in communities across the nation – including roads,

In actual fact, the zebra mussels, as filter feeders, have helped the clarity the Great Lake waters which has increased native gastropod populations by rectifying the turbidity and nutrient excess caused by our effluent.

Perhaps the world would be a better place if we had stayed there, but that is not how immature works. We are the best example of how impossible it is to prevent invasive species.

We only seem to be able to cause the extinction

New Renfrew A&W Restaurant making its mark on O’Brien Road Peter Clark

peter.clark@metroland.com

News - When’s the last time you enjoyed your burger with a frosted mug of root beer? Unless it was in the past month, it wasn’t in Renfrew. But since Dec. 3, you need only drive out to O’Brien Road where Renfrew’s newest restaurant, the much-popular A&W, is there to greet you. It is also the first food establishment visitors will lay eyes on as they drive in the east end of Renfrew, located next to the Canadian Tire gas bar at 1050 O’Brien Road. “It’s been ridiculously busy,” assistant manager Cole Eady said of the first month of operation. Staff members are doing well, learning the ropes, he added. “It’s been a learning experience for everyone. Everyone’s new here. It’s taken some time to adjust.” Many of the people working at A&W are local, Eady added. He said it’s good to see the franchise open a store between Ottawa and Pembroke. “It’s nice to have it here. It’s been a long time coming. The owners have had this lot for (about) three years

now before it even developed into something.” Renfrew’s is the second A&W in Renfrew County, the first being in Pembroke. Others are planned for Arnprior and Petawawa in the next couple of years, said director of A&W franchise sales in Ontario Ken Reynolds. It hasn’t taken long to decipher what customers find the most popular. “The teen is our most popular burger,” Eady said. Another popular combo is root beer and onion rings. “On opening day, people are waiting in drive thru like 40 minutes just for rings. There are not many places in town that have them, especially at a good price.” Canadian Tire Real Estate Inc. owns the property where the 1,862square foot Renfrew A&W franchise is located. The drive thru accommodates seven vehicles, while there is additional parking for those eating in the restaurant. The Renfrew A&W is open from 6 a.m. to midnight seven days a week.

McNab/Braeside Township Times BE PREPARED! PLAN FOR AN EMERGENCY.

The people of Ontario have faced all kinds of emergencies, from ice storms and power outages to tornadoes and industrial accidents. We will face more in the future. Emergencies can strike at any time, and being prepared is critical since it can take time for help to arrive. Everyone should have an emergency plan and a kit to take care of themselves for at least three days. Your emergency plan should reflect your personal circumstances and unique needs. In an emergency, you may not have access to everyday conveniences, and you may be asked to evacuate your home. Thinking about what you would do is the first step to being prepared. You should prepare an Emergency Plan. Your Emergency Plan should include: Two safe locations in case you have to leave your home. One should be nearby, such as a local library or community centre. The other one should be farther away, outside your neighbourhood, in case the emergency affects a large area. A family communication plan. During an emergency, local telephone lines and networks may not work. Identify one or two out-of-town contacts you and your loved ones can call to connect and share information. A list of the people in your personal support network. This includes all the people who will be able to help when you need it. Consider including family members, neighbours, and healthcare and personal support workers.

Almonte General Hospital welcomes New Year’s baby from Renfrew kkent@metroland.com

News – It’s a girl! Little Addison Phinney, who was the first baby born at the Almonte General Hospital in the new year, is the fourth addition to a family of girls. Parents Ashley Miller and Chad Phinney already had three daughters – Ciera, 6, Dakota, 4, and Kallie, 3, when Addison was born, leaving dad the sole male in the house. “Except the dog,” joked Miller, “that’s why the dog is a boy. So he’s

not so isolated.” Addison was born at 2:07 p.m. on Jan. 1, which is fairly late in the day for a new year’s baby, but actually early for Miller, who wasn’t expecting the baby until Jan. 22. “We never thought she would be a new year’s baby,” Miller said. “It’s kind of fun, though, knowing she was the first one born in 2015.” In the first few hours of her life, Miller says Addison seemed to be adjusting well to her new surroundings. “She’s the easiest baby ever,” she

said, laughing. “She hardly ever cries, but we’ll have to see if that sticks after we get her home.” Since Miller and Phinney live in Renfrew, Addison’s three older sisters had yet to meet their new sibling when Mercury sister newspaper the Canadian Gazette visited, but Miller says they were excited to have another friend to play with. Four daughters, though, is all Phinney said he could handle. “We won’t be having any more, I don’t think,” he said. “Having five girls in the house is enough.”

Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School students tickled PINK

Bullying Awareness Week Celebrations

Community - Bullying is defined as a form of repeated, persistent and aggressive behaviour directed at an individual or individuals that is intended to cause (or should be known to cause) fear and distress and/ or harm to another person’s body, feelings, self-esteem or reputation. Bullying occurs in a context where there is a real or perceived power imbalance. Every November, the third Sunday marks the beginning of Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week. Students and staff at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School participated in a variety of activities to learn more about bullying and its effect on student learning and well-being. At Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School, everyone was thinking PINK from Monday, Nov. 17 to Friday, Nov. 21.

The goal of the week was to “end bullying by becoming more Peaceful, Inclusive, Noble and Kind.” Staff and students started the week with a school-wide prayer service that celebrated the joy of being a community that comes together in the name of Jesus. The reading, from the Gospel of Matthew, speaks to being the light of the world and sharing our light with the world. Students who were “caught in the act” being PINK (Peaceful, Inclusive, Noble, and Kind) were presented with a pink bookmark as an expression of gratitude. The bookmarks were then posted in a visible area to identify to others the amazing number of students who display PINK characteristics. Friday marked ‘Wear Pink for Peace and Prosperity Day’. Everyone, in the RCCDSB, was invited to wear pink and make a dona-

tion to the children’s poverty action network (CPAN). Each class was given a “creativity challenge” that was to create: a public service announcement, a wanted poster for a PINK person, or a skit, dance or visual display that best depicted the PINK philosophy. The grade 7 class, with the help of Miss Jessica Belanger, created an amazing dance and drama presentation which showed their leadership and truly made the PINK message memorable for all students. The principal, Mrs. Armstrong, also led an interactive presentation in which students heard bullying experiences from YTV celebrities like Cody Simpson and Selena Gomez, instilling the message that bullying knows no economic or social boundaries. Bullying affects everyone! It was an inspiring week at OLF and one Our Lady of Fatima School students will not soon forget. Aiden Hutchingame and Ryan Merpaw.

Highland dancers delight audience at holiday recital Dancers from Campbell Academy of Highland Dance entertained family and friends during a December recital at the Renfrew Recreation Centre. Paula Campbell, Director and Instructor held the recital to celebrate and showcase some of the dances learned during the fall session. Children from three to 10 years of age took to the stage to kick up their heels and the entire group ended the evening with a lively dance. Pictured during a dance are, above, Maya O’Ryan, while Marley Taber, at right, bows at the end of one of her dances.

Whitewater vehicle stolen and recovered

News - A stolen vehicle was recovered within 12 hours and a young person was arrested and charged with the theft. On Dec. 31, a resident of Whitewater Region Township returned to their residence to find their pick-up truck missing. They reported the theft to the OPP, as well that beer was missing, and a 15-year-old male who resides there and is bound by several probation and sentence orders was not in the residence. In the morning, the truck was located a short distance away, and the 15-year-old was arrested nearby. He was charged with theft over $5,000, theft under $5,000, five counts of failing to comply with a probation order, and three counts of failing to comply with a sentence order. He was remanded into custody at a bail hearing on Jan. 2. He cannot be identified under conditions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Const. Jeff Cassidy led the investigation.

Impaired driver

On Jan. 1 at 1:30 a.m. OPP officers responded to a report of a vehicle running, in the ditch on Highway 17 near McCallum Road. The female driver was unresponsive in the vehicle. Officers arrived and the female was removed from the vehicle on her own. She failed a roadside alcohol screening test and was arrested. Following further tests at the detachment, a 28-year-old Shawville woman was charged with care or control of a motor vehicle while over 80mgs. She was released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew Feb. 11. Acting Sergeant Trevor Nicholas led the investigation.

Jan. 3. It appears to have been shot at several times. The mailbox is on Carmichael Side Road in the Township of McNab Braeside. There are no suspects. Thefts From Vehicles

Thefts from unlocked vehicles continues, now in the Braeside area. Vehicles were targeted on Centre Street, River Road and Burns Drive. If valuables are removed from vehicles, there is nothing to steal. If vehicles are locked, the thieves usually move on as they are looking for “easy“ targets. Remember, Lock it or Lose it.

Mischief

Domestic disputes

A window was broken at a business on Hall Avenue in Renfrew overnight on Dec. 30. A window at the back of Step ‘N Back Diner was broken. It does not appear any attempt was made to get into the business. Const. Jeff Cassidy is investigating. A mailbox was damaged overnight

The Renfrew detachment responded to seven domestic disputes. One male was charged with break and enter, being unlawfully in a dwelling, and theft under $5,000. One male was also charged with assault, and one male was charged with intimidation.

OPP Festive RIDE East Region and Renfrew results are in

News - The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Festive R.I.D.E. (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) campaign began Nov. 24 and ran until Jan. 2, 2015. During this five-week period, East Region OPP officers conducted 2,308 Festive RIDE initiatives. During the campaign, OPP officers in East Region charged 87 people with impaired, over 80 or refusal to provide a sample compared to 116 during the RIDE campaign in 2013/14. Unfortunately, OPP officers in East

Region issued 105 three, seven or 30-day driver’s licence suspensions compared to 96 in in the 2013/14 campaign. In the Renfrew detachment area, two people were charged with impaired driving, over 80mgs or refusal to provide a sample. Officers locally set up 189 Festive RIDE spot checks on area roads and issued three licence suspensions of three, seven or 30 days. “Irresponsible motorists continue to drive while impaired by drugs and/or alcohol and the carnage and

harm they can cause is impossible to calculate. The OPP will continue to conduct RIDE programs throughout the region on any day, at any time throughout the year,” said Chief Superintendent Daniel Redmond, Regional Commander, East Region. The OPP is calling on everyone to stop impaired driving and to discourage others from doing so. If someone you encounter insists on driving impaired, call 911 in order for the police service of jurisdiction to respond and take the driver off the road before someone is harmed.

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, January 8, 2015 21

The annual Christmas Bird Count is another success Lifestyle - The annual Christmas Bird Count, known as the CBC, is always a success because it is an opportunity for all interested people to enjoy a day outside counting the birds or counting the ones they have been feeding all fall. This year the number of species was down by two from 43 to 41, but the number of individual birds counted was up by 236 from 4,010 to 4,246. There were six field teams covering the count circle which has a radius of seven and a half miles (12 km) from the post office in Renfrew. There were 48 people that counted the birds at their feeders. The top 10 birds counted were: snow bunting 1,440, wild turkey 467, American crow 463, blue jay 392, black-capped chickadee 389, rock pigeon 285, American goldfinch 263, common redpoll 141 and the common raven 109. A rare northern goshawk, a new species, was added to our count for the first time. Three new records were set: nine bald eagles were seen, including two immature birds. Six were counted in 2012; 26 whitecrowned sparrows were counted, upsetting the old record of 14 set in 2000. The common raven, with 109 birds counted; set a new record, up from the old one of 59 set in 2000. A single great blue heron stayed longer than it should have but single birds were also counted in 1996, 2004 and 2011. One Cooper’s hawk, one northern goshawk, five rough-legged hawks, nine

JIM FERGUSON Scene from the Hawk’s Eye

red-tailed hawks and nine bald eagles were counted, all rare and interesting birds to see. Game birds were down from previous years possibly due to a difficult nesting season. Only five ruffed grouse and 21 gray partridge were in the count. Mourning doves and rock pigeons were up from last year with 228 (177 last year) for doves and 285 (203 last year) for the pigeons. Two snowy owls were the only owls seen on the count. Three species of woodpecker were seen. The four pileated woodpeckers were down from six last year, the hairy variety with 53 was up from 34 last year and the downy variety was down to 44 from 46 last year. The five horned larks, a rarity in December, were well down from the record of 24 birds set in 2004. The clever ones – common crows, common ravens and blue jays – were well represented this year. The blue jays with 392 birds counted was fourth in the count, the crows with 463 were third for the second year in a row and the ravens with 109 set a new record and were tenth in the count. The ever familiar blackcapped chickadee was fifth with 389 birds, up from 229. The creepers – whitebreasted nuthatch, red-

breasted nuthatch and the brown creeper with 77, 11 and three respectively – were close to average for these species. The four goldencrowned kinglets were average for this species. The poor fruit crop reduced the number of Bohemian waxwings down to 12 from 639 set in 2008 when the fruit crop was well above average. The 81 European starlings that were included were very low compared to the thousands that were seen in early November. In 1989, the second year of the count, 524 house sparrows were counted, the 29 counted this year indicates the sharp decline in numbers for this species. The very poor cone crop placed the finches well below average in the count this year with the exception of the northern cardinal with 38 counted, down only four from the record of 44 set in 2007. Evening grosbeaks with 16 have not rebounded from their record of 1,250 set in 1990. The absence of purple finches indicated the seriousness of the situation. House finches with three, are also on the decline as are pine grosbeaks, with only four seen. Common redpolls have rebounded from last year with 141 but a long piece from their record of 1,602 in 2001.

INSIDE

Pine siskins were down by three from last year’s 15. Goldfinches were seventh with 263, up from 127 in 2013. Dark-eyed juncos and tree sparrows with 73 and 21 are well below average compared to 2013. White-crowned sparrows set a new record with 26. Snow buntings and wild turkeys placed first and second and were up from last year with 1,440 and 467 respectively. The Christmas Bird Count committee would like to thank all that helped to make the count a success. A start to 2015

We received a call from Lucy Hass/Metroland Eleanor Weiss on count day that there were four bald eagles on the ice in front of her home on the Ottawa A red-breasted nuthatch feeds on suet in a wire feeder.

Pizzeria edges Rink Rats in novice B house hockey final Peter Clark

peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - Renfrew minor hockey’s two novice house teams put on a good show in the B final of the association’s annual novice tournament Friday at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. It came down to the final moments when Connor Pilgrim struck for the game-winning marker with just 20.6 seconds showing on the clock to give Renfrew Pizzeria the 2-1 victory over the Rink Rat Pro Shop. Dawson Pennock and the Rink Rats Cayden McKinnon exchanged goals earlier for their teams in the entertaining contest. Easton Clarke of Pizzeria won the goaltenders’ battle over Rink Rat Pro Shop counterpart Wyatt Crozier. Both Renfrew teams had a win and a loss earlier in the day in the six-team event. The Kemptville Panthers topped the Shawville Lions in the A final. Metro in B final

Peter Clark/Metroland

Everybody has a poke at the puck, but who’s going to come up with it? Players from both the Rink Rat Pro Shop, in blue sweaters, and Renfrew Pizzeria in white, battle during the third period of the Renfrew Minor Hockey Association’s novice house tournament B championship game Friday afternoon at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. Pizzeria prevailed on a last-minute goal 2-1.

0108.R0013082056

Renfrew’s lone entry in the bantam house tournament also

reached the B final, only to fall 3-2 on a goal with a couple of minutes remaining Sunday. Avery Smith connected to push the Nepean Raiders past Renfrew Metro. Hunter Gilchrist and Brody Byce had Metro markers. Connery Campbell guarded the goalcrease. Metro’s earlier games were a win and a loss, also decided by 3-2 counts. The Richmond Royals downed the Arnprior Packers 6-2 to win the tournament. It was a tough day for Renfrew teams in the eight-team peewee house hockey tournament Dec. 28. B.R. Fulton Construction lost its two encounters to South Grenville and Fort Coulonge. NAPA Auto Parts suffered a similar fate in its games versus West Carleton and Arnprior. The Novice Timberwolves also went 0-and-2 in their tournament Dec. 27. In a rare case because of a bye and the way other results fell, both defeats were to the same team, the Arnprior Packers. The Mississippi Thunder Kings captured the tournament title with a 6-0 win over the Stittsville Rams.

New year looks promising at the Renfrew Curing Club Andy Sklepowicz

friends sold over 160 Christmas wreaths. Rachel Leclaire and helpers baked and sold more tourtieres than Bernie will eat in a lifetime. All told, including prior funds, the total has now passed the $40,000 threshold and is well on the way to the minimum goal of $100,000. A final push with members and the community should allow the membership to decide at this year’s AGM when to begin replacing the pipes! The above news, along with an ever-growing membership, a second Learn-to-Curl Program and growing club finances all point to a promising future for curling in Renfrew for many years to come. Most leagues have grown, new curlers have taken up the sport, especially in the Friday evening Community League. Bookings have increased and a feeling of assured optimism

Behind the Glass

Sports - The beginning of the New Year at the Renfrew Curling Rink after the holidays had eager rock crazies, barely awaiting the pebble to dry, before they were back with their first throws of 2015. While the curlers were enjoying some time away from the rink, Jon Wall had been busy working out all those tricky spots that provide home ice advantage and give good skips a leg up over tier two ice generals like myself. The start of 2015 is also an appropriate time to update everyone on the progress of the club’s major undertaking in raising funds to replace the brine pipes. Lee Sharpe has been busy collecting donations and pledges, as well as visiting service clubs, while Nancy Connors and Lyn Joyce and

has spread through the club and beyond. The first major spiel of the New Year was full in three days and now has a lengthy waiting list and all await our American friends to join the curlers for that event. All bodes well for an even more successful second half to the curling season. In further draw 2 results, the team of Rob Warren, Andy Humphries, Jim Berg and Brian Hewitt once again took the A, with the Griese and Westgarth teams dropping back down to B. Clayton Eady’s rink, with George Scott, Gord Eady and Ed Hanson captured the B, and along with the Yvonne Sklepowicz team, move up to the A after just beating out and up her long suffering husband. Friday Night Mixed also had repeat winners with Bill Bowles, Karl Mann, Louise Jamieson and Theresa Mann claiming top honours.

The Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club recently rocked the mats in Smiths Falls. In front row, from left, are Lily Warren, Teegan Tabbert and Ryan Theobald; and back row, Joe Greer, Devin Tabbert, Colton Warren, Bryson Lines, Jarett Laking and head coach Harry Smith.

Sports - Over the years, our community has supported the Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club (RAWC) in many, many ways. As a club, we attempt to instill in our members the importance of recognizing community support and the necessity to give back. It is with this in mind that our club insists that all high school wrestlers give back by coaching at an elementary school level. With this spirit and recognizing other needs in our community

our club collected food donations in the amount of 120 items totalling 137 pounds and presented these to our local (Renfrew and District) Food Bank. Our recently expanded RAWC team in Pembroke also took part in the drive, collecting 123 items totalling 116 pounds and presented these to their local food bank. The Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club wants to thank the community that gives us tremendous support throughout our season! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

Wolves rebound to maintain edge in battle for first place Peter Clark

peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - Despite a glitch on the screen when they allowed a game to get away from them in Stittsville, the Renfrew Timberwolves continue to own a healthy lead over the Rams atop the Valley Division of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League. Renfrew’s lead stands at seven points over Stittsville. Each team has 10 games left in the 2014-15 campaign, including a pair head-to-head. Stittsville 7, Wolves 5

A loss between Christmas and New Year’s is never the end of the world, but the way they allowed the game to slip away was the frustrating part of a late-afternoon Dec. 27 setback for the Wolves at the Jack Charron Arena in Stittsville. Leaders of 1-0 after 20 minutes, the Wolves were sailing along with a 3-0 lead halfway through the game when Stittsville erupted for three goals in a 1:39 span to pull even. The Rams later did it again in the third period. A second three-spot inside of 2:19 less than 10 minutes

from the end made quick work of a 4-4 deadlock. That flurry began just 49 seconds after Luke Lapierre had tied the game for Renfrew. Stittsville outscored the Wolves 4-2 overall in the final stanza to provide its margin of victory. Cole Carter and Shane Hiley paced the Rams triumph with three-goal performances. Mike DiBello added the single goal plus four assists. Lapierre had a hat trick to lead the Renfrew offence. Scott Conroy and Blair Barr added singles. Barr, Conroy and Tanner Smith all collected two assists for the Wolves. Matt Gagne was charged with the goaltending loss on 30 shots. Matt Couvrette faced 37 Renfrew drives in the Stittsville goalcrease. Perhaps surprisingly, each team took just six minor penalties in the matinee contest. Wolves 6, Arnprior 2

The Wolves bounced back in a big way in the league’s final game of 2014 at the MAC Dec. 30. After a lackluster opening period effort in which they found themselves down 1-0, the Wolves domi-

2014 BRIDAL TRIBUTE

nated the middle frame. Quick goals shot Renfrew into a 2-1 lead. Luke Lapierre scored his first of two goals on the night when he stuffed the rebound of a Blair Barr shot off the goalpost behind Arnprior goalkeeper Matteo Scapillati at 1:44. Nych Paquette gave the Wolves their first lead when he clicked just 32 seconds later. Scott Conroy parlayed a fortuitous bounce off the backboards into the open 6x4-foot cage when Scapillati was caught going the other way for a 3-1 Renfrew lead midway through the period. Bailey Hein outraced a Packer defender down the left-wing boards and broke in for a shorthanded tally to up the Wolves advantage to 4-1 1:21 into the third period. After James Prebble got one back for Arnprior, Barr and Lapierre added insurance for the Wolves, each scoring with the help of the other. Liam Killeen gave Arnprior its original 1-0 lead when he scored the opening period’s only goal just 1:09 into the contest. Dane Brumm backstopped the Renfrew victory with 21 saves. His biggest stop came a couple

of minutes after Killeen’s marker when he robbed the Packers of what appeared to be a sure goal. That prevented Arnprior from going up 2-0, and bought the Wolves time to turn momentum into their favour. A spirited third-period scrap resulted in fighting majors and game misconducts to Ryan Patrick of the Wolves and Packers counterpart Chris Marchand. Patrick had two-thirds of a Gordie Howe Hat Trick. He also added an assist. Barr collected three helpers to go alongside his goal. Cody Antononi added two assists for the Wolves. Wolves 7, Almonte 4

The Wolves jumped out to a 3-0 opening stanza lead and were never threatened in their Saturday night triumph in Almonte. Conroy notched a hat trick to lead Renfrew goalgetters. Lucas Gonu added a pair of markers for the Wolves, who dominated with a 37-18 shots advantage. Smith and Lapierre, shorthanded, added singles. Riley McEwan, Nick Villeneuve, Riley Shore and Quinn Gordon answered for the Thunder.

Dane Brumm earned his second consecutive netminding victory, while veteran Matthew Dods was between the pipes for Almonte. Collin Raddatz added three assists, and Antononi and Hein two. Lyle Stressman and Almonte’s Ben Harris were tossed from the game as the result of a second-period fight. Wolves howlings

The Wolves have sent forward Cole Allard to Arnprior for cash and future considerations. Jason Collins is back with the Wolves. Collins, who scored his first Ontario Hockey League goal with Plymouth Dec .19, had an assist and was plus-1 despite a 7-2 Whalers loss to the Saginaw Spirit last weekend. From the World Junior Hockey Championship, I’m starting to believe Max Domi might be a better hockey player than Tie. The Wolves play their first home game of 2015 at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre this Sunday evening, Jan. 11. The Perth Blue Wings are in town at 7:30 p.m. It’s the only contest for the Wolves this weekend.

THIS WEEK’S FEATURE

Line dancing is well-known for its beneficial aerobic content, but in addition it delivers a weight-bearing component, recognized for its importance in developing and maintaining muscle-tone. To top it all, “brain-training” is also wellcovered through learning and repeating the various sequential patterns continually presented, as participants progress through the programs, notes Chatterton. “This activity is ideal for all ages and is suitable, as well, for both genders,” she says. “It rates high in its accessibility to all who are interested, as no equipment is needed. “Moreover, an important point for everyone who is new to dancing, is the fact that beginner/novice programs are available, which means no previous experience is needed. Partners are welcome, but unlike some other dance-forms, having a partner is not a requirement for

participation.” Chatterton notes the physical and mental benefits of this dance-form, which is providing so much

enjoyment. “So, is it time for you to add this activity to your exercise routines?” she asks. “You bet!”

Please contact Chatterton at 613-623-0976, and Penno at 613-623-7110 for more information.

through to the present time, several other music genres have also played increasingly important roles on the line dance scene, including Zumba, western-swing, waltz, samba, salsa, rhumba, reggae, nightclub, mambo, jive, jazz, Gangnam-style, fox-trot, disco, Celtic, Calypso, Bachata and other modern trends. Moreover, both instructors confirm this type of dancing is no longer restricted to being performed in lines only - many are done in circles, contra-formations, diamonds, squares and other patterns. The benefits of this dance form are many, says Chatterton. In promoting line dancing, she continues to emphasize that it is truly an activity that is “fun-to-do” as well as being “good-for-you.” As qualified educators, both Chatterton and Penno appreciate the positive effects and results of this “dynamic combination.”

participation in her group, called ‘The Valley-Booters’. Both instructors agree that a huge bonus for current as well as would-be dancers in the area is the fact this form of dancing is very accessible. There are nine sessions available each week at various hours of the day or in the evening: Almonte in the afternoon and evening; Arnprior in the noon, afternoon, and evening; Calabogie in the evening; Carleton Place in the afternoon; Horton in the evening; Pakenham in the afternoon (alternating with Almonte); and White Lake in the morning. Chatterton and Penno also point out that the variety of dance tunes being used has kept expanding to reflect the times and current trends.

Arts – Think you can’t dance? Well, the news is good, yes, you can. And we’re willing to prove it, says Hyacinth Chatterton, speaking for Valerie Penno and herself, both active line dance instructors in Arnprior and environs. Line dance steps are very straightforward to learn, she says, adding that the interesting patterning and sequencing involved will stay with you ‘forever-and-a-day’. Through several local and nearby recreation centres, Chatterton offers three beginner/ novice classes and three classes at the intermediate level – this reflects an increase of two new classes this term. Her groups use the collective name of ‘The Hy-Liners’. Penno currently instructs one beginner class, plus two others with mixed level participants. With one new class this season, she has also shown increased

Sandman shares winter magic with Mary Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

see the birds, and sometimes a squirrel in a tree. And she said the Sandman would come, and unbeknownst to me, would tap me on my eyelids, and off I would go. I asked her how come I always fell asleep in the flat-bottom sleigh when we were coming home at night from a neighbour’s, or from something going on at school or our church. Well, Audrey had a perfect explanation for that too. She said, the Sandman loved the cold weather, and the frosty nights, and the sleigh bells, and the sound of the horses hooves crunching in the snow, and he had so many little people to visit, he would come to those who fell asleep the fastest. Well, that was me alright! I would be barely tucked into the sleigh, under the big fur blanket, with a heavy scarf wrapped around my head, when I would drop off, and waken only with the gentle nudge of my sister that we had arrived at our old log house on the farm. And so often when it was time for us to play host to the Saturday night house party, I would stay awake as long as I could, listening to the fiddle music, the table being pounded by euchre players, and the sound of Father playing the spoons. And I would sit on the bench near the back door, the best place to see the entire goings on, and I would find myself nodding, mesmerized by the sounds.

Lifestyle - “Why is it, Audrey?” As always, when I had to get an answer to an important question, I went to my sister...so much older and wiser than I was. I had been thinking about it for a long time, and that night, as we sat around the old pine table, having gone through Eaton’s catalogue once again, I had to have the answer, once and for all. I had asked Audrey why the Sandman only came to me, and why only in the dead of winter. And why, when Mother looked over at me, she would nod, and say, “here comes the Sandman again.” I would look around me, seeking this creature, who it seemed, singled me out from the rest of the family, and without my even realizing it, said it was time for bed. Audrey closed the catalogue, draped her arm around my shoulders, and said that after a certain age, the Sandman was no longer needed. He only came to very young children, and the reason he only came in the winter time, was that the days were shorter, and besides, he didn’t like the hot summer nights, and so hid away in the farthest regions of the world where it was much cooler. This all made perfect sense to me. Since I preferred winter, too. And then Audrey, who Mother often said had the patience of a Saint, reminded me of all the times I fell asleep before anyone else in the house, and she said it was because the Sandman knew exactly when I was getting tired. She told me how she often had to nudge me in church on Sundays, when the minister deep in his sermon droned on. And she said that happened in the winter because there was nothing to look at outside the window by our pew, but in the summer I could

United Way within reach of $400,000 goal News – The Renfrew County United Way is enjoying a resurgence in interest this year. Unlike last year when it took several extensions into the new year for the United Way to come anywhere close to its ambitious $500,000 goal, this year’s campaign is already close to the finish line. The campaign goal of $400,000 has almost been achieved, the Renfrew County United Way announced on Dec. 19, the final official day of the drive. The news release noted it is the first time in several years the United Way has not had to extend the campaign deadline. Among the recipients of last year’s campaign were the Arnprior Grove Nursing Home’s adult day program for seniors, Hospice Renfrew, the Renfrew County Sexual Assault/ Rape Crisis Support Centre and the Phoenix Centre for Children and Families. The 2014 campaign was launched on Sept. 17. As of Dec. 19, individual donations, pledges received, event proceeds and forecasted revenues from workplace campaigns totalled about $386,500. “We’re so pleased with this year’s campaign and we’re confident the balance of approximately $13,500 will

If we were at someone else’s home for the Saturday night house party, the youngest of us would play upstairs in one of the bedrooms, and end up laying cross-wise on a bed, and like a miracle, I would waken the next morning in my very own bed, never waking while being dressed and carried out to the sleigh. My sister Audrey said the Sandman would have touched the eyelids of all of us, putting us to sleep, and then like limp dishrags, and unaware, we would be carried to the sleighs, undressed at our own homes, tucked into bed, none the wiser. I asked Audrey why I never felt the Sandman touching my eyelids. Why didn’t I see him? And my older and much wiser sister would explain that the Sandman was just like Santa Claus. We knew he existed, didn’t we? And yet we didn’t see him, or

be achieved in the next few weeks,” said United Way Board Chair Shelley Rolland-Poruks. “On behalf of the board of directors, I want to congratulate all of the volunteer workplace campaign co-ordinators who worked so hard this fall to exceed their goals.” Canadian Nuclear Laboratory (CNL) employees continued their outstanding track record of United Way support through their annual workplace campaign that exceeded their goal of $125,000 by raising $141,750. In addition, Garrison Petawawa personnel exceeded their goal of $50,000 by raising $60,406. A number of other workplaces including Algonquin College, KI Pembroke and Defence Construction Canada exceeded their campaign goals as well. “United Way is very proud and grateful to the hundreds of people throughout Renfrew County who have contributed this year,” said United Way executive director Gail Logan-McMeekin. “I hope their generosity and spirit will inspire other area businesses, their employees and individual residents to make a donation before the end of the year that will help us to help others less fortunate in our region,” Logan added.

hear him, or feel his touch. Well, she said, it was the same with the Sandman. And so like Santa Claus who I knew existed, but who I never saw, and just like the cream in the milk cans would rise to the top overnight, or how it would change to butter when churned, or how old Mrs. Beam seemed to know exactly what to do when we were hit with the measles or the chicken pox, there was no explanation. The Sandman was simply unseen but was there putting me to sleep when I least expected it. I put it all down to just plain old Renfrew County magic.

Renfrew Highland Pipes and Drums to hold Burns supper Graham Jamieson

Renfrew Highland Pipes and Drums

Community - On Jan. 25, 1759, the first child of seven of Agnes and Willian Burns was born in the village of Alloway, Scotland. As a young lad, Robert Burns, helped his father on the family farm. But it became very evident that he was not interested in this life style as his future. His passions were nature, poetry, wine and women, and he pursued each of them every opportunity he had. Poems made Burns famous

At 27 years old, Burns had successfully published his first collection of verses and was famous across the country for many of the poems he had written. Due to many illicit relationships and fathering numerous illegitimate children, in 1789 he took a job as an excise officer in Dumfries and seven short years later, on July 21, 1796, Robbie Burns died at the age of 37 years old. He was only married once and had

12 children to four different women. Since the end of the 18th century, Robbie Burns Suppers have been held on or around Jan. 25 around the world, to honour Scotland’s National Bard. 16th Highlands supper

Renfrew Highland Pipes and Drums is holding its 16th annual Robbie Burns Supper on Saturday, Jan. 31 at the Renfrew Legion. Social hour is at 5:30 p.m. and the piping-in of the haggis is at 6:30 p.m., followed by supper and Scottish entertainment and a fundraising silent auction and raffle. This year’s profits are going to the Renfrew Collegiate high school band and the Renfrew Golden Age Activity Centre. Tickets are $30 each ($15 for children) and available at Rocky Mountain House Restaurant, Renfrew Legion, Home Hardware, Golden Age Activity Centre and from band members. Tickets can be purchased until Tuesday, Jan. 27. For more information, call 613-432-6407.

34 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, January 8, 2015

Now is the time to apply for Algonquin College

Protection for Peaches News - Chelsea Donohue of Renfrew has made a difference in the life of one animal. Donohue bought Peaches the pig from a farm that was selling her to be slaughtered. “A friend of mine set up a dog cage in the back of her SUV and we went and picked up Peaches. I brought her to my mom’s small hobby farm in Admaston and fixed up a stall for her to stay in temporarily,” Donohue explained. She then reached out to the Ottawa community to try to find Peaches a permanent home, via a Facebook page set up for Peaches. “Through that page someone contacted me and said that the Big Sky Animal Sanctuary in Kemptville could take her in but because they were short on funds due to the other rescues they made this year, they would need $400 to cover the food and vet expenses,” said Donohue. “As soon as that information was shared via Facebook, an Ottawa charity, Helping Ottawa Fur Kids, donated $250 and offered to collect any other donations for me. Needless to say the $400 was collected in less than three hours with people being told to send any additional money directly to the Big Sky Animal Sanctuary,” she added “It was absolutely amazing to see how quickly the community came forward to help this pig. Within minutes of posting about Peaches’ journey people were phoning sanctuaries, sharing with their friends, offering their help, and donating money. Saving this pig was 100 per cent a community effort,” said Donohue.

News - A critical deadline is fast approaching for college applicants that are considering enrolling in classes in the fall of 2015. The equal opportunity deadline of Feb. 1 is important to anyone considering applying to popular programs such as health care programs, which often attract more applications than the number of seats available. Algonquin College’s Waterfront Campus in Pembroke will be holding a Discovery information session on Wednesday, Jan. 21 at 7 p.m. to help prospective students learn about the 20 full-time programs that are available at the campus. Faculty will be available to answers questions about the programs, and the presentation will include information on the admissions process, financial aid, student services and an optional campus tour. Manager of Community and Student Affairs, Jamie Bramburger, says the Discovery information sessions are very popular because they help people become more comfortable with the college and the steps they need to take to enroll in a program. “We hold these sessions a few times each year and the feedback is always excellent. The sessions are particularly valuable for mature students or parents, who often play an important role in helping their son or daughter choose the program and campus that is best suited for them,” adds Bramburger. A new program that is being offered this year is the General Arts and Science-Pre-Nursing program, designed to assist applicants that are interested in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program, but do not feel they are academically ready or are missing some of the admission requirements for the Baccalaureate program. Other programs that have been introduced in recent years include Environmental Technician, Culinary Arts-Chef Training, Construction Techniques and the General Arts and SciencePre-Health Sciences program. Applications for college are available through the Ontario College Application Service on line at www.ontariocolleges.ca. The cost to apply to college is $95 and applicants can choose up to five programs, with no more than three choices at any individual college.

Renfrew Collegiate Institute students visit Parliament Hill Renfrew Collegiate ENG 4U class

On Parliament Hill are, from left, front row, Charlene Edwards-Budden, Vanessa Johnston, Sam Gamache, Taryn Cameron, Jacqueline Gauvreau, Valiyah Khurshid, Marissa De Boer, Lindsay Lynch, Megan Terry, Olivia MacDougall, Shaylene Gibbons, Hailey Hogan, Megan Bulmer, Jaycee Blackburn, Leyalee Alsaadi, Rachelle Fortier, Liam Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien, Cory Thompson; and back row, Katie Coupal, Chelsea Coupal, Cricket Guest, Michaela Turcotte, Tyler Blohm, Het Shah, Devon Barber, Mitchell Hanniman, Emily Moore, Jayda McLaren, Bria Katsoulis, Will Vincent, Myke McCullum, Adam Le, Auston Pierce and Zak Pudsey.

Lifestyle - Senior English and Art students from Renfrew Collegiate Institute travelled to the National Capital on Dec. 4 to view the Parliament Buildings and the National Gallery of Canada. On Parliament Hill, students explored the outer grounds and admired not only the view from the hill, but also the great Victorian Gothic architecture and stone carvings imbedded in the historical building. Inside the building several small groups travelled to the observation deck in the Peace Tower. The observation deck runs the circumference of the tower and students were able to view all four sides. A film crew was filming in the Memorial Chamber so students were disappointed that they could not view the Books of Remembrance. However, students paid their respects at the National War Memorial where Cpl. Nathan Cirillo died earlier this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being able to look down the hallway where the shooting occurred inside the Centre Block of Parliament and seeing the War Memorial made the event real for the students. Sometimes we see images on TV and there can be a disconnect because we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t experience it for ourselves. Today, the students made a real connection to a real event. They will never forget this experience,â&#x20AC;? said English teacher Charlene Edwards-Budden. After a short lunch, students met at the National Art Gallery of Canada and explored the art displays.

Shaylene Gibbons said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;(It was) The most inspiring field trip Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever been on; (It was) A day full of appreciation and inspiration. It was like a trip around the world within the walls of a beautiful gallery. Not only was art appreciated but memories were made.â&#x20AC;? The senior English students were able to view period pieces that connected to Canadian literature. The focus was to identify art that reflected the Canadian experience which was found in nature and in frontier life. Besides viewing many allegorical pieces, students also discovered a sculpture that connected to Frankenstein, a painting depicting the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fall of manâ&#x20AC;?, a painting of Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Othello, and many pieces illustrating Greek mythology. Will Vincent remarked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe that each piece of art tells a story of its own. It is interesting to discover how we each interpret a piece of art differently while all standing in front of it.â&#x20AC;? The Senior Art students had to locate art work they had studied in class and view the pieces up close to study brush stroke techniques, texture, and lighting. Het Shah said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t distinguish between the photography and the paintings. It was really inspiring.â&#x20AC;? After three hours in the Gallery, students headed home to Renfrew. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With Ottawa being so close you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think visiting it would impact you very much, but by seeing the Peace Tower, the War Memorial and being able to admire the art, it made me connect to and appreciate Ottawa that much more,â&#x20AC;? said Megan Bulmer.

Have you tried hearing aids before but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the plugged up feeling? You will be amazed at how comfortable and natural sounding they are. After a few minutes, you will not even notice that you are wearing them. Never before have hearing aids been this comfortable and easy to adapt to.

Are they visible? With only very thin tubing going into your ears, most people will not notice that you are wearing hearing aids. What they will notice is how well you are hearing.

Successful mock exercise at Bonnechere Manor Michael Barber

County of Renfrew

County of Renfrew/Submitted

The staff and management of Bonnechere Manor conducted mock fire and evacuation drills Dec. 16.

On Dec. 16 the staff and management of Bonnechere Manor conducted mock fire and evacuation drills at their Albert Street facility. The Renfrew Fire Department received the dispatch in less than two minutes after the first alarm sounded, and the response time to the scene by fire crews was under six minutes. The fire department was on location to monitor and observe the exercise. Staff filled the roles of residents for the exercise so that the residents were not interrupted at all. The exercises were a great success as two residents were evacuated from the fire room and the door was closed in just 2:02 minutes after the alarm sounded, well within the allotted regulation time of four minutes. Seven more responders arrived on the scene (on the second floor in the Henry Murdoch Wing) from the fan-out call list. These are the staff that would get the call in the middle of the night at their homes to come in and assist with evacuation.

All 35 residents in the Henry Murdoch Wing were evacuated to safe areas in 27:35 minutes, well within the allotted regulation time of 75 minutes. The exercise was conducted to comply with the changes to the provincial fire code that were implemented in January 2014 as directed by the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services. “Our residents should feel safe, as our building has up to date smoke and fire protection and most importantly sprinklers within all resident rooms,” said Bonnechere Manor administrator Shayne Hoelke. “This exercise was well done by all staff that participated. Great work!” Dave Bromley, the environmental services supervisor at Bonnechere Manor, echoed Mr. Hoelke’s comment. “Excellent work by all staff as they conducted this mock exercise well within the expected timeframe,” Bromley said. Bonnechere Manor Long-Term Care Home has been serving County of Renfrew seniors since 1958. The 180-bed home is located at 470 Albert Street in Renfrew.

NOTICE TO RESIDENTS

News - Members of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) would like to encourage everyone to assess and be aware of conditions before venturing out on ice covered bodies of water. Ice is never 100 per cent safe even though you may have tested the thickness. If you do venture out on the ice, please follow these tips to help keep you safe; • Check the weather. Do not go out on warm or stormy days. • Do not travel on ice if you have consumed alcohol or drugs. • Do not travel on ice alone or in the dark. • Keep away from unfamiliar paths or ice. • NEVER go out on the ice alone; always have a buddy with you. • Always let someone know your destination and time of return. • Children should be accompanied by an adult when

out on the ice. • Carry a small survival kit on your person-including ice picks, rope, a lighter, waterproof matches, magnesium fire starter, pocket knife, compass and whistle. Ice is constantly changing in response to weather and water conditions and is effected by many different factors including thickness, currents, age of the ice, pressure cracks and snow cover. East Region OPP encourages everyone to stay off the ice when conditions are obviously dangerous especially in the early winter and late spring. If in doubt, Don’t go out! For more information from the OFSC go to their website at www.ofsc.on.ca or visit the Canadian Red Cross at www.redcross. ca/what-we-do/swimmingand-water-safety/swimming, boating-and-watersafety-tips/ice-safety.

Thank You Eugenia Buraczewski We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to relatives, friends and town of Renfrew for your kindnesses on the recent loss of our dear mother and grandmother. Mother left Renfrew in 2003 to live in Ottawa but her return was welcoming. The small-town etiquette of the funeral procession, with one individual making a sign of the cross as the hearse passed, really touched my heart. It shows great respect for the dead and the family in mourning. For cars to stop to let the procession by is something we do not see in the big city. Thank you to all the family and friends who drove to Renfrew to pay their respects to Mother. Special thanks to Don Goulet and the staff of Goulet Funeral Home for their guidance, care and for respecting family traditions and customs. Thank you to Father Holly at Our Lady of Fatima Parish for making the sermon so personal and relevant to the scripture read at mass, and recognition of Mother’s Polish heritage and lifelong devotion to Mary. Thanks to the Knights of Columbus volunteers and the ladies for preparing an outstanding lunch after the service. Thank you to all who brought us comfort through flowers, memorial donations and expressions of sympathy. Anna Buraczewski and Family

We love you, miss you, and take comfort that you watch over us and our children. Love Stephen, Mark, Lynn, Tanya, Dianne and Families

CHARITABLE GIVING WITH LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES - A WIN-WIN FOR BOTH FAMILY AND CHARITIES The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities.

There are three main methods you can gift life insurance: by making a bequest of the proceeds of a life insurance policy through your Will; donating the policy during your lifetime at fair market value; or by naming CHEO as beneficiary and remaining as policy owner.

the estate value is preserved. In this case, premiums for the life insurance policy are paid with a relatively small percentage of the funds that would otherwise have been used to pay taxes owing. The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities. This should be considered in the bigger context of planned giving options available to donors both during their lifetime and at death.
