Matt McDougall of Moviemat continues his court battle with Mike Asselin, the Town of Renfrewʼs director of development and works. The town asked McDougall to provide a site-plan application for his business at 785 OʼBrien Rd. last year, but he has yet to do so. Out of the 864-square-foot building he continues to rent videos and sell sports memorabilia and adult videos. He relocated Moviemat to that site, from downtown Raglan Street, on Oct. 19, 2012. Although the town has requested a site-plan application, McDougall says section 41.1 of the Planning Act of Ontario says heʼs not required to do so. McDougall also says the townʼs contracted, part-time planner Julie Stewart gave him the green light. More recently, the town announced it has hired a fulltime planner to start working Feb. 11, 2013. Asselin says McDougall is required to submit a site plan because the use of the property at 785 OʼBrien Rd. has changed from vacant residential. McDougall has neither submitted a siteplan application nor appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board, said Asselin. The town submitted a stop-work order to McDougall on Oct. 26, 2012, but it has not taken steps to close his business or shut off access to town water, said Asselin. Asselin says McDougall was invited to resubmit his site plan application from 2004 at no charge, but has not done so. That was an 8,000-square-foot project that was going to cost about $1 million, says McDougall. McDougall says he pulled back plans in 2004 to expand his business when another video company came to town. To comment on the impasse with the town, McDougall placed videos on YouTube in late October and November 2012. McDougallʼs videos received almost 9,000 views. Asselin subsequently received a court injunction Dec. 7 to prevent the

Prior to the injunction, the director of development and works says he had already sued McDougall for $100,000, for defamation of character, because of the content of those videos. “Mr. McDougall has disagreed with my interpretation of the bylaws as they relate to his development,” Asselin told The Renfrew Mercury EMC in a written summary of the court action. “We have made Mr. McDougall aware, in writing, of the application and appeal process. We have not received an application, and rather than following the appeal processes, that were readily available to him, he chose to publish statements on YouTube about my personal and professional integrity. These statements are the subject of the defamation action which the court has yet to rule on.” The Town of Renfrew is also paying for Asselinʼs defence, which McDougall says is troubling, especially when an employee is the plaintiff. Renfrew clerk Kim Bulmer says legal fees are covered by the town in accordance with a council-approved agreement with all department heads. The agreement guides matters arising from the employeeʼs performance of duties pertaining to the governing of the Town of Renfrew. Because of the court action, McDougall says he is selling the family home to acquire more cash to fund the legal battle. McDougall was to appear in Ottawaʼs Ontario Supreme Court Friday, Jan. 25 to determine if the injunction on the YouTube videos would be made permanent or lifted. The case was adjourned. The new court date is expected to be in late February or early March. Meanwhile, McDougall maintains his own website of www.moviemat. com, where he includes documented correspondence about the legal battle below the headline: Is the Town of Renfrew Trying to Bankrupt & Destroy Small Business in Renfrew?

Endangered species session planned Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

The County of Renfrew will host a Feb. 22 workshop with the intention of crafting recommendations for the Endangered Species Act. Director of property and development Paul Moreau will be among the afternoon workshop facilitators as feedback is sought from invited members of the countyʼs various business sectors. These will include sand and gravel, agriculture, tourism, property development and forestry. “Weʼve seen signiﬁcant increases of time spent on development projects because of the new restrictions of the Endangered Species Act,” said Moreau. “So we want to have a shopping list of recommended changes to the actʼs regulations for the provin-

cial government.” Changes to regulations are already coming, says Moreau, as suggested by the Endangered Species Act Panelʼs own report and recommendations, which appear on the Ministry of Environmentʼs Environmental Bill of Rights website. “We want to respond to those recommendations and also go a little bit further,” said Moreau of the workshop in county council chambers. “We know the province is thinking about changes, so we hope we can have some inﬂuence on the regulations (of the act). We think thereʼs an opportunity there.” As the act now stands, Moreau says those involved in property development, including planners and developers, face extra time and costs, that arenʼt always necessary.

Expansion to accommodate new postal outlet and pharmaceutical service Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Renfrew council has approved the site plan that will allow Aikenheads Drug Store to expand the size and scope of its business. Construction will allow the Raglan Street business, which opened in 1938, to markedly increase space on both ﬂoors. Construction will begin in the spring. Aikenheads owner Sheila Kemp said the changes will allow the business to become a full Canada Post outlet, to upgrade its accessibility features

for the physically challenged, and to improve its service delivery for customers. Changes in service delivery are critical, says Kemp, because the pharmaceutical industry has changed a lot in recent years. “It has become a lot more one-on-one,” explained Kemp while referring to the examples of ﬂu shots, private counseling, and travel clinics for those travelling abroad and requiring speciﬁc vaccinations. “Weʼre very space-contained right now,” said Kemp. More space will be at the back and side of the building,

toward the rear parking lot, as first-floor space jumps from 3,530 to 4,822 square feet. The biggest expansion will be to the second storey. The entire buildingʼs current 5,812 square feet will increase to 9,138. The construction work will be done by Beatty Pilgrim Construction. The Canada Post outlet will be located on the ground floor along with new offices for oneon-one service for customers. Most of the extra space will be for store inventory on the second floor, where a rental apartment will remain.

“Weʼre very happy to have approvals for these changes,” said Kemp. “Weʼre looking forward to serving all our customers in a better way and in a more private way.” The site plan calls for 16 parking spaces. The entrance and exit for drivers will remain at the rear of the property, adjacent to Argyle Street South. Also, the sidewalk along Argyle Street will be replaced to better deﬁne the vehicular entrance. The Aikenheads site plan was approved at the Jan. 28 meeting of town council

A few changes on Renfrew municipal committees Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

As is customary each January, the Renfrew mayor makes changes to the town councilʼs committee structure. Mayor Bill Ringrose did just that while appointing three new committee chairmen at councilʼs Jan. 28 meeting. “I think the committee system is working very well,” said Ringrose, before noting he was making a few changes to give some council members more exposure. The changes include new chairmen for the finance, parks and recreation, and fire committees. Former parks and recreation chair Tom Anderson will now chair finance, which was headed up by Gail Cole. The

ﬁnance committee is completed by Cole and new member Clint McWhirter. Cole also joins the development and works committee with chair Audrey Green and Jim Miller. The parks and recreation committeeʼs new chair becomes Miller, who is joined by Reeve Green and Andrew Evans. “There are things in the master plan that need to get done,” said Ringrose. The mayor also noted that without plans to pursue a new aquatic centre, the town still needs to decide what to do with the resources it has to provide aquatic and other recreational services. “It will be exciting,” said new recreation chair Miller. “I think weʼll be able to get

things done and make things more interesting for tourists and residents. I have some ideas for small projects.” The other new chair is Evans, who leaves the finance committee and now heads up the fire committee. Committee membership for 2013 council members is: • administration: chair Cole, Green; • finance (which also deals with animal control and parking enforcement): new chair Anderson, Cole, McWhirter; • labour relations-human resources: Ringrose, Anderson, McWhirter; • development and works: chair Green, Cole, Miller; • planning advisory: chair Miller, Evans; • adjustment-property stan-

Several committees also include town staff and members of the public.

Five Renfrew firefighters, including two who are retired, have been recognized with medals or bars for long-time exemplary service. Mayor Bill Ringrose made the presentations with Fire Chief Guy Longtin at the Jan. 28 meeting of town council. “We thank our volunteer or full-time firefighters for the work theyʼve done over the years,” said Ringrose. “Thank you for a job well done.” Two retired firefighters, who were not at the council meeting, were recognized with 30-year bars.

They were Capt. Barry Griese and Capt. Rob Dougherty who each served for 35 or more years. Those in attendance to receive their awards were fulltime firefighters Capt. Peter Whalen, Lieut. Dan Visneskie and Chief Longtin. Whalen, who has served 22 years, received his 20-year medal. Visneskie, who has served 38 years, and Longtin, who has served 33, each received 30-year bars. The awards come from the office of the Governor General of Canada. The Renfrew Fire Department has 11 full-time and 18 volunteer firefighters.

Remuneration up for Renfrew County councillors steve.newman@metroland.com

The Renfrew County warden was naturally the highestpaid county councillor last year. Bob Sweet, who still sits on county council as the Petawawa mayor but did not run for an unprecedented sixth term as warden, earned $50,914.63 in 2012. This included a $25,000 salary, in contrast to his $21,900 wardenʼs salary in 2011 when his total remuneration for county council work was $46,590. Salaries for the warden and other county councillors were

approved by county council in January 2011. At that time, council also approved increased honorariums for major committee chairs and vice-chairs, and a base salary of $3,000 for each county councillor. A review by county councillors Walter Stack and Janice Visneskie more than a year ago showed that Renfrew County councillors were the poorest paid in eastern Ontario. Until the raises were voted in, county councillors received an average remuneration of $5,300, as only four received slightly more than $10,000 in per diems and expense money

in 2011. With each county councillor paid a base salary of $3,000 now, total remuneration for 2012 shows only four county councillors received less than $10,000. This includes gas mileage to and from county council and committee meetings. Remuneration (for per diems, salary and expenses) paid in 2012 was, in order: Janice Visneskie – Killaloe, Hagarty & Richards, $13,732; Tammy Stewart – Head, Clara & Maria, $13,467; Peter Emon – Greater Madawaska, $12,939.73; Walter Stack – Arnprior, $12,681; Harold Weckworth – North Algona

Wilberforce, $12,036; Norm Lentz – Brudenell, Lyndoch & Raglan, $11,679; David Shulist – Madawaska Valley, $11,572; Audrey Green – Renfrew, $11,447; Don Rathwell – Whitewater Region, $11,211; Mary Campbell – McNab-Braeside, $11,086;

Raye-Anne Briscoe, Admaston-Bromley, $10,793; Dick Rabishaw, Laurentian Hills, $10,632; David Thompson – Deep River, $9,242; Jennifer Murphy – Bonnechere Valley, $9,078; Don Eady – Horton, $8,916; and Jack Wilson – Laurentian Valley, $8,839.

Pembroke committee members also received remuneration. Mayor Ed Jacyno received $824 for social services committee work, and health committee members Terry OʼNeill and Gary Severin received $1,017 each.

County counting on website Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Members of Renfrew Countyʼs department of development and property not only hope more families and businesses put down roots in the Ottawa Valley in coming years. They also hope they come with help from the countyʼs very own economic development website. The countyʼs economic development link connects to www.ottawavalleyliving. com where a myriad of statistics about living, working and playing in Renfrew County can be found. The countyʼs own website is www.countyofrenfrew.on.ca. Alastair Baird, the countyʼs manager of economic development, attended the Jan. 30 meeting of Renfrew County council to present an overview of the development website. He gave a quick overview of the type of statistics one would ﬁnd on the website, which has been assembled primarily by McSweeney and Associates (Ottawa) since the fall of 2011. “I like that the information is readily available … rather than having to request it by letter or email,” County Warden Peter Emon told The Renfrew

Mercury EMC. “It takes any delays out of the process.” The county pays an updating fee for the websiteʼs material, including data from Statistics Canada and other government sources. “Weʼre getting all this data that is typically requested by investors and site-relocation people,” said Baird. “So that information is now easily accessible and usable.” Other users include retail and service providers. The data appears under several categories of www.ottawavalleyliving.com including education, labour force development, demographics, utilities, taxes, market access, labour force working ages, major employers and military bases, incentives and services, economic development plans, and elected ofﬁcials. Data is available for both the County of Renfrew and each of its municipalities, including the City of Pembroke and the aboriginal community of Pikwakanagan. Baird showed council members examples of the website data, including 13,000 Renfrew County residents who speak English and French, and the number of people in the 25-64 age group with post-secondary education —

56,200. The latter led to the question about why there wasnʼt a listing for an older age group, since many individuals over age 65 operate or contribute to Renfrew county businesses. McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell agreed, noting thereʼs a high percentage of people over 65 running businesses in her municipality. Baird said heʼs willing to address any of the countyʼs municipal councils about the content and the best ways to use the economic development website. Killaloe, Hagarty & Richards Mayor Janice Visneskie said sheʼs been waiting for this type of usable data for years. “I will be asking you to come to our council meeting because itʼs very useful information,” Visneskie told Baird. Madawaska Valley Mayor Dave Shulist said he found the data “really, really beneﬁcial. Itʼs all about power, and having the strength to make decisions” about economic development. Shulist, a long-time supporter of the Kashubian culture, also asked why the spoken languages listed for Renfrew County didnʼt include Kashub.

Drought now over, but vigilence advised Renfrew Countyʼs drought is officially over. Admaston-Bromley Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe made that announcement during the Jan. 30 meeting of county council, following a recent meeting of the Renfrew County Low Water Response Team (WRT). Team members met Jan. 25 to evaluate the most recent data available on precipitation levels and surface water flow rates. The data revealed that precipitation levels, which included rain and snow, have recovered to above normal averages and that surface flow rates are within an historic average range. This data enabled the WRT to move the county out of a Level 1 low water response condition. This means that the drought, which was first declared on July 10, 2012, is over. The WRT, however, urges caution and on-going awareness of just how sensitive our

water supply can be to reduced levels of precipitation and extended dry and hot weather conditions. County residents, businesses and institutions relying on groundwater and well systems for their water supply are strongly encouraged to continue to monitor their water supply carefully and exercise water conservation. During the winter months, with the ground frozen, groundwater has very little opportunity to recharge. The two recent major thaws, accompanied by rainfall, provided very little groundwater recharge. County well drillers all agree it is imperative there is signiﬁcant snowfall this winter and a slow, extended spring thaw accompanied by frequent rain once the ground has thawed. The WRT is still active, despite the fact the county has have moved out of a drought

situation, and will continue to closely monitor the situation. It was realized there are very few precipitation and stream ﬂow gauges in the county from which the team can obtain data, and no groundwater monitoring capability. A key project over the winter, working with the Ontario government, is to obtain and plan for the installation of new gauges. Local municipalities and Renfrew County, in partnership with the Ministry of Natural Resources Pembroke District ofﬁce, view this as imperative so the WRT can more effectively monitor the countyʼs water situations. To underscore how serious the water situation continues to be in North America, as of Jan. 17, 2013, 59 per cent of the United States remained in a moderate drought situation, and the high plains states continued to experience severe drought.

the Ottawa Hospital Cement ﬁnisher Guy Pellerin of Ottawa was headed to work in his Ford Lincoln when the crash occurred. He told The Renfrew Mercury EMC that he was westbound and turning off Highway 17 into Renfrew for a coffee, before continuing on to Petawawa, when the collision occurred at OʼBrien Road. “I was turning left. I didnʼt see him. Thatʼs all I know,” said Pellerin. Police say Pellerinʼs vehicle was struck by an eastbound

Toyota Sienna, whose two occupants were transported to Renfrew Victoria Hospital. After impact, the Toyota slid across the lane and crashed into a post at the lighted intersection. The Ford Lincoln was knocked back into the opposite lane and facing eastbound. Pellerin, who suffered small cuts on his face, remained on the scene as members of the Horton and Renfrew ﬁre departments worked with paramedics to remove the injured

occupants from the vehicle. He was subsequently transported to Renfrew Victoria Hospital for treatment of minor injuries. Const. Jeff Cassidy of the Renfrew OPP, who attended the scene of the accident, says Pellerin has been charged with making an unsafe turn. The ﬁne, if found guilty, will be $110 and two demerit points. Cassidy says Pellerin was making the left turn on a green light, but trafﬁc heading eastbound also had a green light.

Agricultural land review continues peter.clark@metroland.com

Admaston-Bromley council met with Charles Cheesman, manager of planning services for Renfrew County, Friday morning. Admaston-Bromley is endeavouring to have portions of land throughout the township redesignated to rural from its current agricultural status. The review could take ﬁve years. Cheesman and council went over maps of the potential designated areas. “Maybe thereʼs some land within the township that could be taken out of the agricultural designation and put into the rural designation which would allow some more uses than would be otherwise permitted in agricultural, primarily residential and commercial or residential,” Cheesman said. “What started the process, the township sent us a map of the areas they would like us to consider to remove from the agriculture designation,” he added. “These areas have been identiﬁed. About half of the township of Admaston-Bromley is agricultural.” “The policy thatʼs in place now, County Council supports the protection of (the) countyʼs best agricultural lands to facilitate the long-time viability of farming, and to ensure that farming continues to contribute to the local and provincial economies,” Cheesman

explained. Some of the policyʼs objectives are to identify prime agriculture lands, to maintain the dominance of agriculture and agriculture-related activities as land use in the county, to prevent any sterilization of agriculturally productive land by a competing or conflicting land use, to prevent non-agricultural uses from locating in prime agricultural lands, and to consider the impacts on the agricultural community. “So as we go through the exercise of peeling the agricultural layer back we have to make sure we remain faithful to these policies,” Cheesman said. “The other thing, or course, is that, any case we make to the county official plan has to be approved by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs who work with the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, so theyʼll have the last say on this, and whatever we do as a group, weʼre going to have to show weʼve done our homework, and this is the first step in the homework.” Cheesman also explained that prime agricultural land is land that included specially crop areas and/or Canada Land Inventory Classes 1, 2 and 3 soils, in this order of priority for protection. The number goes up to Class 7. Class 1 is the best agricultural land and seven is the least. “We donʼt want to interfere

with good agricultural land. All weʼre trying to do is see if we can get poor agricultural land changed to rural,” Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe said when the township recently applied for land to be redesignated. Clerk-treasurer Annette Louis noted that the township has requested 4,341 hectares of land to be redesignated from agriculture to rural while the county came back with 587 hectares. However, the county is now looking at about 1,000 hectares, which is removing about 25 per cent of the lands designated agricultural. That includes land in many areas of the township. “It covers one end of the township to the other. The land is not in one area,” Louis noted. The public will have opportunities to attend meetings on land designation before the ﬁnal decision is made. At the meeting, council approved the request to advertise for the hiring of a contract part-time clerical worker. Also, acting pay will be entitled for the lead hand who has taken over in the absence of the road superintendent who is recovering from recent surgery. Lastly, a three-month evaluation period was approved for the clerk-treasurer to determine the needs of the ofﬁce and report to council so council can proceed with the hiring for the treasurer/deputy clerk position.

Your Community Newspaper

Regional conference explores opportunities for economic prosperity through tourism The OntarioĘźs Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO) is bringing together economic developers, destination marketers, funding partners, and government organizations for a day of collaborative discussion around strengthening the tourism industry in OntarioĘźs Highlands. The conference will take place Wednesday, Feb. 13 at Calabogie Peaks Resort and will include a presentation of the Ontario Tourism Investment Strategy, the OHTO Tourism Development Partnership Program and a workshop delivered by the Tourism CafĂŠ from Victoria, B.C., on

how to enhance the visitor experience by focusing on what the traveler wants rather than selling what a destination has to offer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is no secret our rural communities have been struggling to revitalize their economies,â&#x20AC;? states Nicole Whiting, manager of OHTO. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, momentum is building around exploring ways to support growth in the tourism and hospitality sector. More of our community leaders understand the signiďŹ cant economic impact a visitor has on a community both in terms of their immediate visit and the potential to convert that visi-

tor into a resident or business owner. We are very excited to be able to provide this forum to learn what we need to do as a destination to become more appealing to the visitor.â&#x20AC;? Attendees might be surprised to hear this may not mean investing more in advertising. Whiting explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Competition in the tourism industry is ďŹ erce and successful destinations are not necessarily the ones that have the biggest marketing budgets. These destinations are aware of the importance of creating positive memorable experiences for the consumer and this â&#x20AC;&#x153;experienceâ&#x20AC;? is a

combination of their stay accommodations, the activities they take part in with operators, right down to the service they receive at a local gas station. If the visitor leaves feeling valued and has experienced something truly unique, not only will they be back, but they will be sharing their stories with their friends and family.â&#x20AC;? The conference will give attendees the information they need to understand how they can collaborate on ensuring their communities are meeting the needs of the visitor. Sources of support available to organizations looking at

ration with eight sub-regional marketing organizations, tourism agencies and authorities . Find out more about the OHTO at http://www.ohto.ca Attendance is free but preregistration is required. To learn more, visit www.ohto.ca or contact Nicole Whiting at 613-629-6486.

OPINION

EDITORIAL

Important to respect and care for seniors citizens in uncertain times ThereĘźs a lot of uncertainty in these fragile economic times. People everywhere are scrambling to make ends meet or formulate plans to secure their ďŹ nancial futures. Back in the 1970s we were sold a fantasy; the dream of a leisure society where one of the biggest challenges faced by municipalities would be offering recreational services for workers enjoying reduced work weeks and seniors lazing comfortably, with time on the hands. A few decades later, we face a far different picture. We have very little to celebrate. Now, workers who carried the hope of early retirement are being

told by the federal government that Old Age Security is changing and there are plans to up the retirement age to 67 years. Politicians and upper-income earners see no problem. They have feathered their nests well. Last week BMO Bank of Montreal reported that Canadian savers, on average, managed to save about $9,200 in 2012. And the average total savings amongst Canadians is $122,310. That average clearly does not reďŹ&#x201A;ect Renfrew County, one of the provinceĘźs poorer regions. We should see that number. Many seniors, especially women, face tough times. Some, who worked hard all of

their lives, will be forced by failing health into long-term care homes. They must not be forgotten or shortchanged when it comes to federal and provincial dollars for services. Last week the Long-Term Care Task Force on Resident Care and Safety issued its ďŹ rst semi-annual progress report. The task force was established by the sector in November 2011 to respond to media reports and public concern about incidents of abuse and neglect in long-term care homes and an under-reporting of these incidents. The task forceĘźs May 2012 report recommended 18 actions to improve

the safety of residents in long-term care homes in Ontario. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While it is still early days, the task force is pleased that there has been progress on the 11 sector-led actions and the six actions being led by the Ministry of Health and LongTerm Care (MOHLTC),â&#x20AC;? said a news release issued last week on the report. The task force will oversee implementation of the actions over a threeyear period and reporting publicly on progress every six months. Actions include initial work on an educational strategy for residents and families; the launch of a Safe Care campaign for long-term care

homes; training for LTC leaders on supporting staff in the use of capacity building tools to support quality care; and, targeted investments by the MOHLTC to support the recruitment and specialized training of LTC staff and to support improved resident care and safety overall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These developments mark a good beginning in the sectorĘźs collaborative approach to improving resident care and safety in OntarioĘźs longterm care homes,â&#x20AC;? said the release. The task force must be supported as it moves forward with its important work, to ensure our seniors get the care they not only deserve, but have earned.

REPORT FROM THE HILL

Bilateral missions to Africa complete Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant recently travelled to Africa as a member of the Canada-Africa Parliamentary Association to complete bilateral missions to obtain a more comprehensive knowledge of CanadaĘźs involvement in the region through contact with parliamentarians, government ofďŹ cials, civil society groups, media representatives and businesses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the worldĘźs attention on events in Africa, now was the right time to witness ďŹ rst-hand the challenges Africans are facing,â&#x20AC;? stated Gallant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kenya is currently about to launch a Parliamentary election process as the ďŹ rst elections held under its new constitution. Canada supports democracy, good governance, human rights and the rule of law as the most effective non-violent way to combat terrorism and the rise of rogue states. This was the message conveyed by the delegation. We have seen in Afghanistan what happens when a state becomes de-stabilized. It becomes an enclave for terrorists, who then de-stabilize other states.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Canadian delegation had the opportunity to strengthen relations with regional organizations, most particularly the PanAfrican Association and agencies delivering material and nutritional care. When it came to security and economic issues, the African Union wants to lead. That was important for me to hear directly from African leaders. Assistance in judicial, parliamentary, human rights and security training from the West are welcome.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canadian soldiers from CFB Petawawa have already helped in teaching human rights and other skills. I owe it to the soldiers and their families to be fully informed before I am requested to support any change in CanadaĘźs position on crises in the region,â&#x20AC;? said Gallant. NATO Ally France has taken decisive action to stop Mali from becoming a West Afri-

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant. can Afghanistan. Its action is meant to restore stability and prevent a repetition of events in Afghanistan where international terrorist group the Taliban took over that country to provide a safe haven for al-Qaeda. While this is not a NATO exercise, as a permanent transatlantic consultation forum, NATO is capable of transforming discussions into collective decisions and action. NATO has at its disposal unique military and civilian capabilities that can contribute to ďŹ ghting terrorism or managing the consequences of an attack. NATO cooperates as part of a very large network of partnerships involving other states and international organizations. Terrorism is a global threat that knows no border, nationality or religion. It is a challenge that the international community tackles together. Since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, NATO has been actively engaged in the ďŹ ght against terrorism. In response to those attacks, NATO invoked Article 5 of the Washington Treaty, the AllianceĘźs collective defence clause, for the ďŹ rst time in its history.

LAST WEEKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S QUESTION

THIS WEEKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S QUESTION

Does new Liberal leader Kathleen Wynne deserve a chance to govern?

Is the merger of the Renfrew and Arnprior OPP detachments a positive move?

A) Yes, she has proved she is competent, effective and conciliatory.

25%

B) No, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an accessory to all the Liberal missteps in the last few years.

21%

C) Yes, but she should be on a short leash and only have a few months to prove herself.

13%

D) No. Liberals should be thrown out of office to give one of the other parties a chance to do better.

42%

A) Yes. Consolidation should save both towns money.

B) No. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to mean less service for both communities, as well as for the rural areas.

C) Yes. But amalgamation should go even further. We need a Renfrew County-wide OPP detachment.

D) No. The towns should go back to having municipal police forces.

Last week Abigael Visutski wrote in her story, The Owl Adventure, that one of the squirrels attacked by the owl had lost part of its tail and the injured stub was frozen to the tree. The report from the Visutski home this week is that the squirrel is active, less part of its tail, and is scurrying around in search of food in spite of the owl attack.

In January and February they will move from the territory in search of a better food source when necessary. COOPERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S HAWK

Penny Haley at Douglas had a CooperĘźs hawk search the area around her feeder for an unwary bird. This species stalks other birds, especially mourning doves, rock pigeons and blue jays for food. On two occasions the hawk came away without a catch.

BALD EAGLES IT WAS EATING WHAT?

Keep your eye on the sky; the bald eagles are moving in search of food. Ross and Judy McEwen saw a mature bald eagle in Braeside-McNab Township cruising in search of food and Shirley Deacon saw one in Horton Township on the same quest. Bald eagles stay as near their nesting territory as food and weather conditions will allow.

Deanna JoeĘźs mother, Elva Geaurts from Nova Scotia, was asked by a neighbour to ďŹ nd out from the people that wrote the articles in The Renfrew Mercury EMC why the birds were eating the paint from the shingles on his house. Deanna, who lives on Castleford Road, sent us an email and asked if we would provide

an answer. Paint has a number of minerals and salts in the formula and birds require small amounts of these minerals in their diet, thus the paint picking. They will also consume ashes, charcoal, clay and salt, all of which contain minerals and salts. Young birds need calcium to build strong bones and the parents will feed bits of bone, teeth, clam or oyster shell and egg shell to fulďŹ ll the need. We hope this explanation will shed some light on the situation. Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, RR 5, Renfrew, Ont., K7V 3Z8.

The horned lark is the ďŹ rst of our migrants to return. When winters are mild they may migrate south for only a few weeks and then return. In 2010 and 2011 they were included in our Christmas Bird Counts and were not seen again until mid-February. The horned lark is the only lark native to North America. They are small- to mediumsized songbirds. They have a white or yellow face, a black face mask, ĘťhornsĘź (feather tufts) and a black breast band. Body colour varies from light tan to reddish and often matches the local soil colour. They reside in open country and are often seen along roadways, picking up grit and seeds. When startled, they ďŹ&#x201A;y into nearby ďŹ elds with an undulating ďŹ&#x201A;ight. They will scratch through the snow to ďŹ nd seeds. In summer they pick seeds from plant stalks and on

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Your Community Newspaper

Wynne’s election changes nothing Clarification of $20 million debt To the editor: Kathleen Wynneʼs election as Liberal leader and Premier-designate changes nothing in Ontario and in Renfrew County. Although I congratulate Ms. Wynne for winning her partyʼs leadership, she worries me because she completely endorses Dalton McGuintyʼs failed agenda. Under Dalton McGuinty, the Liberals chose to give big corporations like banks and oil companies huge tax breaks while upping personal taxes, cutting the services we depend on, and selling off important provincial assets and services, like the disastrous ORNGE air ambulance privatization. Theyʼre even going to sell off all our personal information when Service Ontario goes private. Then thereʼs the education crisis. I expect Ms. Wynne to wriggle out of this because

teachers would rather be working with kids than upsetting parents, but the same problems remain. Teachers and all public service workers are being told to take the hit because the Liberals wonʼt tax corporations and wealthy people fairly. And she refuses to denounce the anti-democratic Bill 115 that allowed them to impose contracts. Dalton McGuintyʼs legacy in rural Ontario wonʼt change a bit with Ms. Wynne. The Liberals have ruined green energy for years to come by bringing in giant multinational corporations instead of harnessing the goodwill and resources of landowners and municipalities. Everyone knows we need to move to green energy, and many green energy projects should be in rural Ontario, but the McGuinty Liberals took a good idea, threw

enormous money at it, and poisoned the well for future development. The Endangered Species Act they passed with no stakeholder consultation has put development on hold and threatened peoplesʼ livelihoods across rural Ontario. It didnʼt have to be this way. They could have enlisted the goodwill and stewardship of local people in protecting species had they developed a plan with the help of communities. Now, theyʼve totally alienated rural Ontarians. Kathleen Wynne may represent a refreshingly different face from Dalton McGuintyʼs, but itʼs the same old Liberals with the same old policies that are hurting working people in Ontario, especially rural Ontario.

Part of Lot 11, Concession 1, being Part 4 on Plan 49R-5685 known municipally as 528 Opeongo Road, as shown on the Key Map below.

Public Meeting

A public meeting to inform the public of the proposed zoning amendment will be held on Monday, February 25th, 2013 at 7 p.m. in the Town of Renfrew Council Chambers, 127 Raglan Street South, Renfrew.

To rezone the subject property from Residential One-Exception Nine (R1-E9) Zone to Residential One-Exception (R1-E27) Zone, to reduce the minimum lot frontage.

The above noted lands are subject to Consent Application B02/12. Additional information regarding the proposed amendment are available for public inspection at the Town Hall during regular office hours between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm., Monday to Friday, from the Development & Works Department, 2nd Floor, Town Hall, 127 Raglan Street South.

To the editor: Re: the Renfrew Mercury Jan. 31 story headlined ‘Town debt not that big, says Mayor Ringrose’ First, I would like to thank Mayor bill Ringrose for trying to clarify my statement about the town debt of $20 million. He is correct that “today” the town actually owes $13 million on the books, with $1.1 million to come. However, I took into consideration during the Jan. 14 council meeting that last year this council passed a motion to enter into an agreement to purchase a new ﬁre truck for $850,000, which is committed to (delivery early May) and therefore spent but not on the books. This council last year also passed a motion

to pay a firm to reapply for the solar project estimated to cost $2.2 million. We would also be committed to repair the roofs at Innovation Drive and Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre in order to do that project, estimated at $1.4 million. Again, this money was committed to and therefore spent. Thatʼs $4.45 million committed to be spent, over and above what the town currently owes. And, if the vote would have gone ahead for the pool and second ice pad at $4 million, that also would have been committed to and therefore sent, even though it wouldnʼt be on the books “today.” These figures can be verified. Councillor Clint McWhirter Renfrew

Active transportation important to health To the editor: Walking or bicycling are just two examples of active transportation that I would like to participate in on a daily basis. Active transportation is very important to my health because it is an opportunity for me to exercise daily. Did you know that I live only one kilometre away from my school and I am unable to walk or ride my bike because there are no safe places for me during a very busy time of day? This might not seem like much, but this would increase my physical activity by 2.5 hours per week (if it takes me 15 minutes to walk or bike). Not only that, but I also would gain some extra time

while walking or riding my bike with both my mom and sister. It is also important because it can help some kids battle obesity. It provides a good start to a school day because exercise increases your ability to concentrate. It is also good for the environment. When you drive a car or a truck it pollutes a lot of exhaust, which is bad for the environment. Not to mention, it will save you money because you wonʼt have to buy gas if you walk or ride your bike. We should have some safe places, perhaps paved shoulders or sidewalks, for cyclists, joggers and even walkers. If we have more dedicated

areas for cyclists and walkers, it will decrease a possibility of people getting hit and injured or even dying. Active transportation is an easy way to exercise and it is also a great way to spend time with your parents. Using active transportation is not limited to the more fortunate people but instead it is available for everyone of all ages because it provides a safe area for people who can walk and people who are in wheel chairs. So please, help our city by investing in some safe ways for people to commute around our city. Emma Cloutier Grade 4 Highview Public School Pembroke

Consider life from a child’s perspective To the editor: You know that little cyclone that forms in your drain after your shower? I had forgotten how cool that really is. How sad it is that we have stopped noticing the awesome tiny things that happen right in front of us every day. Like when a current of air picks up the autumn leaves and swings them around as if to say “Notice us; weʼre still here. Where did your passion go?” But children notice these

things. They havenʼt been conditioned to ignore the simple wonders in life, making their world very different from ours. To prove this, take a walk around town or go to a public event with your child. Give them a disposable camera to take pictures of whatever they want. Do the same. Compare each set of photos. This piece of writing was inspired by a set of photographs a child had taken at a fair. It was fascinating to see

the things that children ﬁnd to be worth capturing forever. Next time you ﬁnd your child captivated with something, remember these words, and know that they can see the things that we have forgotten.

Committed to addressing Algonquin land claim concerns Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke

Everyone seems to be talking about how bad the cold and ﬂu season has been this year, and thereʼs no question it has been one of the worst in recent memory. Hopefully some of the cold weather that weʼve had lately will kill off some of those germs, and we can put that mess behind us. Since the release late last year of the agreement in principle (AIP) respecting the Algonquin Land Claim, the AIP has been one of the most common issues Iʼve been receiving calls about. The land claim covers an area of approximately 36,000 square kilometres, stretching from the Ontario-Quebec border to beyond North Bay. Within the AIP there is a proposed transfer of Crown land to the Algonquins of Ontario

(AOO) of not less than 117,000 acres. Of that 117,000 acres, approximately 80 per cent lies within my riding of RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke, making it by far and away the most directly affected by the proposed settlement. While there are many issues to be addressed, based on the calls I have received the two that are resulting in the greatest cause for concern will be the speciﬁcs on the land to be transferred and the harvesting rights for Algonquins vs. nonaboriginals. Iʼve had a number of calls from private property owners themselves, who currently border on Crown land that has been designated for transfer to the AOO. They have presented me with a number of questions as to the criteria of why the land bordering their properties was chosen over other tracts of land.

By now, each one of those private property owners will have received a letter to set up a meeting between themselves and the Ministry of Natural Resources, hopefully to further clarify this issue. The other major concern that has been raised is with respect to agreements dealing with the harvesting of fish and wildlife. Aboriginal harvesting rights are clearly defined in section 35 of the Constitution of Canada, and confirmed by the Supreme Court. There have also been agreements worked out with the province to ensure that conservation and the preservation of fish and wildlife receives the greatest priority. How this land claim will affect the hunting and fishing opportunities of non-aboriginals is certainly causing some stir, as evidenced by the recent letter to the editor from Greg

Farrant, the manager of Government Affairs and Policy for the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters. While no one questions the signiﬁcance of hunting and ﬁshing in the Algonquin culture, I believe it has been demonstrated over the past couple hundred years that it is equally part of the culture of non-aboriginals in my riding. As these discussions continue, and I hope that thereʼs ample opportunity for the public to be involved, we must endeavor to end with an agreement that is viewed as being fair and equitable to both the AOO and the non-aboriginals who reside within the territory affected by the AIP. Ensuring that those affected are properly consulted will go a long way in achieving that. Doing the right things now is most important. When this process is over,

and it will take several years, the result has to be a ﬁnal agreement that resolves a long standing issue with the Algonquins. Creating a whole new set of problems must be avoided.

Iʼve met with ofﬁcials from Aboriginal Affairs and Natural Resources and expect to meet with the OFAH next week. I will continue to do my best to get as much clarity on this ﬁle as possible.

MP Gallant congratulates Brooks on Diamond Jubilee medal JoAnne Brooks has received a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, presented by Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant. “JoAnne Brooksʼ many contributions to womenʼs rights in Renfrew-NipissingPembroke are renowned,” said a news release from MP Gallantʼs ofﬁce. “She has dedicated decades of her life toward the safety and protection of women.” Brooksʼ accomplishment include a commitment to social justice, especially violence against women and children and, in particular, survivors of sexual vi-

olence; public education efforts for Take Back the Night, and advocacy for LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) issues. “JoAnneʼs service to her peers, her community and to her country is evident. I join with her colleagues and family to convey our praise and admiration to JoAnne as a true Canadian,” said Gallant. Brooks has lived in Renfrew County since 1981 and is the proud mother of three adults children – Katelyn, Matthew and Emily Ott – and a three-year-old

granddaughter Alexis Ott. She was hired as the ﬁrst director of Wise Owl Day Care in Pembroke in 1982; then in 1986 joined the Early Childhood Education Diploma Program at Algonquin College in Pembroke. She was later hired by the steering committee for the development and opening of the ﬁrst rape crisis centre in Renfrew County in 1993, and is proud to be involved with the grassroots, community-based volunteer organization - the Womenʼs Sexual Assault Centre of Renfrew County – for almost 20 years.

Wolves run streak to five with weekend victories Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

It took awhile, but the Renfrew Timberwolves survived a lengthy shootout in Shawville to edge the Pontiac Juniors 4-3 and run an Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League winning streak to ﬁve games. Sunday afternoonʼs win also gives the Wolves a bit of breathing room as they look to nail down second place in the Valley Division standings.

Brett Nugent scored with 1:03 remaining, and then Charbonneau connected 22 seconds from the end to pull Shawville even. The ﬁve-minute overtime period could not produce a winner.

WOLVES 4, PONTIACS 3 (OT) WOLVES 3, ALMONTE 0

The first five shooters in the game-deciding shootout for each team were unable to score. Then, Scott Conroy and Colin Bradley both connected for Renfrew, while Wolves goaltender Matt Gagne surrendered a shootout marker to Tyler Charbonneau, but turned away Matthew BrooksFournier to seal the victory. It was a game of late-period goals. Liam Poirier gave the Pontiacs a 1-0 lead in the opening stanza, before Drew Anderson pulled the Wolves even at 1-1 when he notched his first of two on the afternoon at 19:59 of the second period. After defenceman Erik Mask gave Renfrew a 2-1 lead on a powerplay with 3:23 remaining, Anderson should

The Wolves didnʼt allow the potential frustration to get the better of them. They couldnʼt get a pea behind a red-hot Dominik Plaschy in the Thunder goalcrease until the final minute of the first period, despite numerous scoring bids. They were finally rewarded in the last minute. With 41 seconds remaining, Sean Kyte used a teammate as a decoy on a 2-on-1, got around the Almonte defender and tucked the puck behind Plaschy. Little did anyone know at the time, thanks to the work of Wolves goaltender Matt Gagne and a staunch defensive effort in front of him, that the Kyte marker was all Renfrew would need.

Gagne only faced four shots in the first period, but that would change as he challenged 13 in the second and 11 more in the third. Many were of a quality variety to earn the shutout. After a 19-shot barrage in the first, the Wolves matched Almonteʼs 13- and 11-shot totals while gutting out the victory. After what seemed destined to be a 1-0 final, Jesse Riopelle eventually gave the hometown some insurance when he found a shooting lane and fired a high dart past Plaschy with 4:45 remaining. Drew Anderson capped off the scoring with an empty-net tally at 19:55. Casey Doner of the Wolves and Connor Wall of the Thunder had the gameʼs lone scrap. Despite getting ambushed by the Almonte forward, Doner turned the tables and earned PETER CLARK/METROLAND the decision.

Eganville Olympian honoured with Ottawa sports award Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Olympian Melissa Bishop of Eganville was in the limelight again last week. The middle-distance runner, who competed in the 800 metres at the London Olympics last summer, was unable to attend the Ottawa Sports Awards ceremony last Thursday. But she was recognized as the Ottawa Valleyʼs top track and ﬁeld athlete as her parents, Alison and Doug, accepted the award on her behalf. “Iʼm very pleased and excited to receive the award,” said Bishop from Windsor, where sheʼs living and training in preparation for the 2013 IAAF World Championships in Russia. “It was a great year for me, and Iʼm hoping it goes up from there,” said Bishop of 2012, when she was one of two Canadians to qualify for the womenʼs Olympic 800 metres. Last weekend, Melissa competed

in the Boston New Balance Indoor Grand Prix before 4,000 spectators. Meet highlights included a world junior record in the menʼs 3,000 metres, as Ethiopiaʼs Hagos Gebrhiwet ran this seasonʼs world-leading time of 7:32.87. In the womenʼs 800-metre race, Bishop got cut off in the early jostling for position and finished fourth in 2:04.51. “It was okay, it was my first indoor 800 of the season, and I got stuck at the back (off the start),” said Bishop. Phoebe Wright of the U.S. won by just 2/100ths of a second, over American Erica Wright. The winning time was 2:03.96. Jessica Smith of Vancouver, who also qualified for the womenʼs Olympic 800 in London, finished sixth in 2:06.98. Bishop, 24, says training is going well and sheʼs looking forward to competing Feb. 16 in New York Cityʼs prestigious Millrose Games over 600 metres.

The husband and wife duo of Daryl and Debbie Fiebig wonʼt soon forget their latest running extravaganza. The local couple, who live in Cotieville, ran the 20th anniversary Walt Disney half marathon in Orlando, Florida Jan. 12. The Epcot Center was a lively spot as 25,000 runners lined up at 5:30 a.m. for the run. They ran a marked route throughout Disneyworld. “The highlight for us was running past the big castle in the dark as it was fully lit up and constantly changing colors,” Daryl Fiebig said. “At every mile marker, we were met by Disney characters, including the Pirates of the Caribbean. It truly is a place where dreams do come true. Every mile was magic. “We then returned together to complete the 13 miles through Future World holding hands,” Fiebig added. “The result, we hope, will inﬂuence other persons, at any age, personal and lifestyle health improvements. It was not just another race.” R0121122012

WWSG poker runs draws 50 participants peter.clark@metroland.com

The White Water Sno-Goers were to have started their poker run at the Best Western Renfrew Inn Saturday morning. However, because of a lack of snow on some of the Renfrew-area trails, it was moved to Logos Land. The route covered trails up to La Passe before returning to a hunt camp near Haley Station got smoked pork tenderloin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A new groomer was just accepted by our club,â&#x20AC;? Bill Jamieson of the White Water Sno-Goers poker run organizing committee said. Vice-president Andy Kenopic had the difďŹ cult job of doing all the paperwork to obtain the new groomer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new groomer saved

the event as it cut away the ice layer making the poker run possible,â&#x20AC;? Jamieson added. About 50 sleds turned out for a great run up to La Passe and back to the hunt camp near Haley Station, Jamieson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Club president Richard Vereyken managed to smoke up some awesome pork loin, totally enjoyed by all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanks to Mike Williams and Julie Resmer for hosting the event, and to the many great local businesses that help us with a bountiful door prize table,â&#x20AC;? Jamieson added. Angela McEachen had the best poker and received prize money of $500. There were also many door prizes, trail trivia and a 50-50 draw. A portion of proceeds are going to the Feb. 16 Ride for Dad.

UOV hurt themselves with eight minor penalties in the game..

Arnprior prevailed again in game two, although the outcome was much closer. Emily Agnew, Alycia Cooco, Allison Doucette and Stephanie Lee clicked for the Valley squad in a 6-4 defeat. Lee also added two assists. Bria Katsoulis was between the pipes for both games.

The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, February 7, 2013 17

(3"/% 306/%4 Efficient health care service is dependent on many factors and patients may not be aware that they play an equal role in ensuring our community receives prompt service when needed. Wait times for some services at Renfrew Victoria Hospital are increasing due to demand throughout Renfrew County for specialty testing in our Diagnostic Imaging department, the Sleep Lab, Respiratory Therapy department and for appointments in our Ambulatory Care clinics. Compounding the problem are patients who fail to show up for their scheduled appointments, and cause unnecessary delays in the system. Phil Crozier, head of the Diagnostic Imaging department, says when someone doesn’t show up for their scheduled CT scan, Ultrasound, Mammogram or X-Ray, that appointment time is usually lost. “It is impossible to fill the appointment slot when we do not have ample time to reschedule patients. Almost all these modalities require some type of patient preparation, which further complicates rescheduling,” he says. “Usually we have a lot of people waiting to get in who are really sick and need that test,” and the “no shows” are taking that

time away from other patients, says Sandra Beimers, a secretary in the Diagnostic Imaging department. “There is an immediate impact on other patients and our staff, and we also experience an impact on our visiting specialists,” notes RVH Vice-President of Corporate Services, Julia Boudreau. “One of the factors that influences a visiting specialist’s decision to provide service in our local hospital is based on the volume of work that is present. When specialists drive from the city, there is an expectation that their schedule will be full. However, when a patient does not show up for an appointment, it impacts negatively on the waiting list for the specialist, and also for the specialist’s schedule for the day.” She says the goal is to attract and retain a wide variety of specialists in Renfrew, in all departments, and to achieve that goal everyone needs to be considerate and respectful of the processes. The hospital has a policy in place to address patients who fail to show up for their scheduled testing, without giving at least 24 hours advanced notice, explains Boudreau. Implementing a cost to the patients for missed appointments began as an attempt to shorten the wait lists, provide prompt patient care and provide more efficient Diagnostic Imaging services, adds Crozier.

“There is also a loss in revenue to the organization when these outpatient diagnostic tests are scheduled and not performed and, in some cases, this revenue loss is significant,” states Boudreau. “In the end it is an expensive process for the hospital,” comments Crozier, who says that it more than doubles the cost per case since the original appointment time is lost and in most cases the patient reschedules to take up another appointment and extra clerical time to arrange the rescheduling—all contributing to longer wait times. Beimers says it takes away from time to do other work in the office as she and her colleagues have to deal with the extra paperwork when someone doesn’t present in the

Your Community Newspaper

x-ray waiting room on time. “We register them in the morning before the day begins and then need to cancel everything and send a notice off to the finance office, who then sends a bill to the client who has missed an appointment.” Once patients have paid the fee, they can be rescheduled for another appointment. The no show fee for the Sleep Lab has recently been increased to $100, CT scan is $50 and $25 for all other missed appointments. If you are unable to make a scheduled appointment, please contact the hospital as soon as possible at 613-432-4851, and the switchboard operator will help guide your call to the appropriate department.

Sandra Beimers, Secretary in RVH’s Diagnostic Imaging department, sees firsthand the negative effects that cancelled test appointments have on the system.

Make sure your vehicle is ready Renfrew detachment

If you didnʼt do a good job getting your vehicle ready for winter driving, itʼs not too late. You may be dealing with winter driving conditions into April, so take some time now and prepare for winter driving for the next several weeks. BE PREPARED!

• Check the condition of your tires, and if you donʼt have winter tires consider installing them. They offer better traction, braking and handling in slippery and snowy conditions. • Carry a winter survival kit in your vehicle that includes items such as a ﬂashlight, warm blankets, extra clothing, winter boots, and non-perishable energy foods. A candle and matches generate some heat while waiting for help if you become stranded. • Keep your vehicleʼs fuel tank full. The extra volume can help reduce moisture problems in your fuel system and it adds extra weight to your vehicle. A topped-up gas tank will also be an asset if you become stranded. • Clear all snow and ice completely off windows, side view mirrors, headlights, taillights and licence plates. If you

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

Run your engine sparingly and be careful of exhaust fumes. Check to make sure the exhaust pipe is clear of drifting snow before running the engine. Slightly open a window away from the wind to have a continuous supply of fresh air. In blizzard conditions, especially overnight, make sure one person stays awake as help could take some time to arrive. Maintain circulation by moving your feet, hands and arms. The Ontario Provincial Police throughout Renfrew County reminds you to always drive according to weather and road conditions. Please drive with extra care this winter.

Celebration of Life events raise more than $27,000 for RVH, Hospice Renfrew Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Connor’s Cuts for Cancer is a success with $1,606 raised for research

“It was so incredible, so overwhelming.” Those were a few words Janet Robertson used to describe the ninth Celebration of Life fundraising dance Friday night at the Renfrew Armouries. Coupled with a breakfast at the Rocky Mountain in conjunction with the event for the ﬁrst time, a record-smashing total of more than $27,000 was raised. Proceeds are going to the Renfrew Victoria Hospitalʼs oncology unit/digital mammography and Hospice Renfrew. A crowd estimated at 800 people ﬁlled the Armouries to celebrate, and dance to the music of the Riley New Band and Ghost Town Cryers. That followed the morning breakfast, which drew about 160 people,

There were live and silent auctions at the dance. Robertson, of the organizing committee, thanked all who contributed to the success of this yearʼs event. It was a magical evening, she said. “It was so incredible, so overwhelming.” “The ninth annual Celebration of Life dance was absolutely the biggest and best yet. It sure was a party and a true celebration. The hall was so full of energy and everyone was having a blast. “What an overwhelming feeling to see so many people out to support this event and two great causes. A huge thankyou to everyone who made it all happen,” Robertson said. This yearʼs total brings the amount raised in the Celebration of Lifeʼs nine-year history close to $180,000. “We are so grateful,” Robertson said.

Connor Dorzek of Renfrew set out to make a difference. And he certainly has. The 10-year-old Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School Grade 6 student battled back from his own adversity in 2008. He was on life support for three days after suffering a stroke. He spent 68 days at CHEO. Last spring, he told mom, Lisa Guyea, “I want to make a difference in someoneʼs life, as so many people did in my time of need.” He decided to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society by running Connorʼs Cuts for Cancer. Mom thought Connor might best wait until the summer months were over before growing his hair long. But Connor basically said, letʼs get started, He never did complain about it being too hot for long hair in the summertime, Mom added. Connor had a goal of $1,200 by Jan. 25, but he far exceeded that. He put up a message for everyone on his web page, which explains it far better than any reporter can. Thank you so much for supporting me by donating to ‘Connor’s Cuts for Cancer’ in support of the Canadian Cancer Society! I can hardly believe that with everyone’s help, I have raised $1,606. My haircut was January 25, 2013 and my hair was around seven inches long. I have sent it to A Child’s Voice care of Angel Hair for Kids to be used to make wigs for children with cancer. This has been a great exR0011909259

With the big cheque are hairstylist Christie Marki, Connor Dorzek, who raised the $1,606 with his Connor’s Cuts for Cancer, and Renfrew Chapter of the Canadian Cancer Society president Ray Beimers. perience to be able to give to such a wonderful organization like the Canadian Cancer Society and to know my hair will put a smile on a child’s face. My goal was to help others like so many people helped me and my family when I was sick. Thank you all for making this dream come true for me. I am blessed to have this as a life experience. Thank you again for your support. Sincerely, Connor Dorzek. Connor also addressed his peers at Fatima. “Before we begin the cut, I would like to thank (principal) Mrs. (Jeannie) Armstrong for letting me use the school gym, Christie (Marki) for doing the cut, Mr. (Ray) Beimers for accepting the cheque on behalf of the Canadian Cancer Soci-

ety, for all the students, staff and family here who donated money, Mom and B.J., thank you for helping me make this happen.” While the cheque he presented to Beimers, president of the Renfrew Chapter of the Canadian Cancer Society, was for $1,606, more donations were headed Connorʼs way on the day of the cutting. “Itʼs heart-warming to see young people giving back,” Beimers said. Connor has three grandparents who have survived cancer. Christie Marki handled the scissors and razor for Connorʼs haircut in front of the school. With his hair in braids for the cut, Connor asked the big question: How do girls do this?”

The Arnprior and McNabBraeside Archives board invites everyone to its 20th annual general meeting Saturday, Feb. 16, beginning at 1 p.m. in the Arnprior Public Library. This year we are celebrating two important anniversaries. It is the 20th anniversary of the opening of the Archives. To commemorate our two decades of preserving Arnprior & McNab-BraesideĘźs history, we will be ofďŹ cially launching our Facebook page to the public. Please visit and ĘťLikeĘź us to keep up with the latest news and local happenings in the area. It is also the 100th anniversary of Renfrew South District WomenĘźs Institute (WI); one of the archivesĘź founding partners. They will provide an overview of their important, award-winning Tweedsmuir Community History Collections, commonly known as Tweedsmuirs. There will also be a sneak preview of the districtĘźs Oral History Project, capturing recollections from their eldest members. Today, WI Branches continue to compile Tweedsmuirs.

Each book reďŹ&#x201A;ects the CoordinatorĘźs style and artistic creativity. While many are still in the homes of the co-ordinators, others have been deposited in local archives, museums, and other locations. The Arnprior and McNabBraeside Archives is fortunate to have the Tweedsmuirs of 10 local branches in their holdings, as well as minute recordings and other books. These Tweedsmuirs will be available for viewing during their open house. During the refreshment time, take the time to welcome back our archivist, Laurie Dougherty. The annual general meeting is being held at the Arnprior Public Library (21 Madawaska Street) on Saturday, Feb. 16 at 1 p.m. Everyone is welcome and admission is free. BACKGROUND

What is a Tweedsmuir Community History Collection? It provides the history of a community, assembled by the local WI branch. Commonly known as Tweedsmuirs, the collection can vary in form from a simple scrapbook of newspaper clippings to a series of bound volumes. They are valued by

family researchers, historians, and students of all ages. Tweedsmuirs are comprised of a variety of information and usually include such items as: â&#x20AC;˘ Record of pioneers and farm histories; â&#x20AC;˘ Historical growth and development of local community; â&#x20AC;˘ Record of buildings, schools, industries, churches, and local government; â&#x20AC;˘ Record of war veterans and other people of interest (artists, centurions, etcetera); â&#x20AC;˘ WI Branch history and autobiographies of members; â&#x20AC;˘ Photographs and documents portraying things of interest and special community events. History-gathering started as early as the mid-1920s. By the mid-1930s, Lady Tweedsmuir, wife of the Governor General of Canada, suggested that WI branches keep local history books as the members in England did, where she had been a devoted member. A campaign was launched in 1945 to encourage every WI Branch in Ontario to prepare a volume of history about their community for the 50th

A recently widowed Lady Tweedsmuir was delighted to approve that these histories should be named after her late husband, and so originated the Tweedsmuirs. The Tweedsmuir Collections are a very signiďŹ cant resource on the history of Ontario. In 1950, the Honourable Vincent Massey included Tweedsmuir histories as part of the Royal Commission on National Development in the Arts, Letters and Sciences. In 1962, the Canadian Historical Association, CanadaĘźs national organization of professional historians, awarded a certiďŹ cate of merit to the WomenĘźs Institute for their efforts in preserving local history. And in 2004, the WI Tweedsmuir Co-ordinators were awarded the Scadding Award of Excellence by the Ontario Historical Society.

Stone Fence Theatre to hold script reading Feb. 19 at The Sands on Golden Lake Stone Fence Theatre

The Stone Fence Theatre presents its ﬁrst-ever play-reading of two locally-written plays at the Sands on Golden Lake Tuesday, Feb. 19 from 7 to 9 p.m. “For theatre fans, this is an opportunity to hear a talent ed cast of readers present the ʻbonesʼ of a play without sets, costumes and lighting. For the playwrights, a reading provides valuable audience feedback and for the audience, it is an opportunity to experience the process of

writing for the stage. For the Stone Fence Theatre, it is an opportunity to test drive newlysubmitted material. We hope it will encourage other playwrights to submit scripts. One play being read is General Store, a comedy-drama written by Kathy Lampi, Lynn Flokstra and Johanna Zomers. When widowed Agnes decides to close down the village general store in the early 1960s, her beatnik poet granddaughter Loreen and her neʼerdo-well folksinger boyfriend Jimmy

Dwight hatch a scheme to buy the store and a coffee house. They find an unlikely ally in Bronas, the quiet widower/fiddle player who has been shyly courting Agnes. Homebound, by Johanna Zomers, is a drama about an aging farm widow, Mina, resisting her daughterin-law Babsʼ plan to banish her to a granny flat. Caught in the middle is farmer son, Joe. Clairvoyant fortune teller Mme. Clara provides entertainment at Babsʼ wedding. Popular musician Terry McLeish

will entertain at intermission and everyone is welcome to come early and socialize over dinner. Reservations can be made by calling The Sands at 613-625-2525 and stating you are part of the Stone fence event. Admission is $5 in support of a proposed play-writing workshop for local people who feel they have a story to tell but need some help with dramatic writing. For more information, call Ann Bulger at 613-649-0067. Stone Fence Theatre is also col-

laborating with the Bonnechere River Watershed Project to develop a touring play to highlight land use and environmental issues and options in the Bonnechere River Valley. Johanna Zomers and Ish Theilheimer have written a script, Bonnechere River – The Future Tense, which is in rehearsal under the direction of Chantal Elie-Sernoskie. The Stone Fence production features music by Terry McLeish and actors Amber Dagenais, John Haslam, Josh McCoy, Maureen McCoy and McLeish.

Recycle Frog is back by popular demand at

Royal Canadian Legion 43A Main Street, Cobden Saturday & Sunday, February 9 & 10 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. A word from the Founder...

Here’s an example of a recent customer p payout: y These 14K gold earrings were worth $89.67

R0011851230

This 10K gold chain was worth $102.21

“ Back in 2008, we started with a simple vision to provide a safe, convenient and intelligent alternative to pawn shops and cash-for-gold companies. The response has been overwhelming. We’re proud to say that we’ve stayed true to our original goals and are now considered to be among the most trusted gold and silver buyers anywhere in Canada. So if you’ve ever thought about selling your gold and silver, please give us an opportunity to earn your business.“ Matthew MacQuarrie

How Our Prices Compare... Everyone says they 'pay more', but do they really? Many companies in our industry have misleading advertising that make exaggerated payout claims. But remember what your mother told you, “If something sounds too good to be true...” Recycle Frog customer payouts are always fair and consistently rank among the highest in the industry, often 25 to 100% higher than less ethical competitors. Our significant growth and impressive list of corporate, charitable and non-profit partners is a testament to how we do business.

Two 18K gold wedding bands were worth $218.96

The TOTAL payout was... $1,276.83 Your Recycle Frog Gold Buyer will be...

The BEST Service in the Industry... Recycle Frog was recently nominated by its customers for “Stars of the City” program, for exceptional customer service. The nominations conﬁrm Recycle Frog cares about each and every customer, regardless of how much or little they have - always ensuring they receive the best possible service and a competitive purchase offer. Don’t get fooled. Get paid fairly. Meet Recycle Frog and ﬁnd out for yourself why we’re considered to be the best in the business!

In our hearts, your memory lingers, Sweetly tender, fond and true, There is not a day, dear parents, That we do not think of you. Love always John, Janis & family GIBSON, Jack In loving memory of our devoted husband, Dad and Grandpa Jack, who passed away February 10, 2002. Our lives go on without you, But nothing is the same, We have to hide our heartache, When someone speaks your name. Sad are the hearts that loved you, Silent are the tears that fall, Living our lives without you, is the hardest part of all. You did so many things for us, Your heart was so kind and true, And when we needed someone, We could always count on you. The special years will not return, When we were all together, But with the love within our hearts, You will walk with us forever. In our hearts forever, Donna, Tammy, Kevin, Teisha, Greg, Mary and Ted

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, That day God called you home. Our family chain is broken, And nothing is the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.

A whole year has passed Since God called you away But still we miss you Each and everyday What we would give To take one more walk Or just quietly sit and Have one more talk Miss you mom

Outside of work, thereʼs still the chance to watch the occasional movie and make an ofﬁcial connection.

“And then at the end you see your name come on the big screen, in the credits, and itʼs such a cool feeling.”

HEARTLAND

His wife, Patty Goettler, is also involved in the industry, as a member of the art department for Heartland. Their Husky, Nitro, has appeared on Heartland as Lobo, Mr. Hanleyʼs dog, and in a Suzuki dog sled TV ad during the 2012 Super Bowl. Patty and Edwin met on the set of the 1994 movie, Legends of the Fall, which starred Brat Pitt and Anthony Hopkins. Most recently, he was the security coordinator for movies shot in the Calgary area —

“Sitting in the theatre, itʼs such a warm feeling to say, ʻHeh, I was part of that,ʼ” says Amell.

Edwin Amell grew up in Renfrew and Calabogie, but the Okotoks, Alta.; resident is happy continuing his connections with Hollywood and the Brad Pitts, Whoopi Goldbergs and Jon Voights of the world. Amell, 52, is still living his dream of working in the movie business. Heʼs not a household name, by any stretch of the imagination, but he hopes his satisfying experiences also motivate youngsters and young adults to follow their dreams. “From working in this industry, I feel satisfied the way life went,” he says during a recent visit to Renfrew and Calabogie to visit friends. “Growing up as a kid, I was always the type of person that liked to drive snowmobiles and motorbikes and have that thrill of going fast. “Maybe thatʼs why I got into the stunts,” adds Amell, who several years ago attended stunts school in Montreal, and went on to do a few paid stunts for movies. “That kind of got me wanting to get into the movie or film part of it, to find work. My gut feeling was telling me to go in that direction,” says Amell, who started making industry connections by building sets and props for Alberta theatre groups. “When I got to Calgary (more than 20 years ago), I found I was getting more work behind the scenes, working with the whole crew building props, doing special effects and building sets. So I ended up getting more work that way. There was a core of people already doing the stunts.” For one stunt, he was thrown out of the back of a wagon train in the shooting of the TV series Lonesome Dove. With his own carpentry qualifications, he became a member of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, and continued his connections with the movie world. Years later, much of his work in the industry is as a security coordinator. He has filled that role for such productions as Fear Itself, May Contain Nuts, Diary of a Haunting, and Christmas in Wonderland. He has been the props master to the Imax production of T-Rex and the first assistant props master for North of 60 and Rat Race. And he has also done special effects for North of 60 and Papaʼs Angels.

The Right Kind of Wrong and TS Spivett. After years working on TV and movie sets, Amell says he has had the privilege of working for, or watching up close, such household names as Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean), Seth Green, Heath Ledger (Joker in Batman), Whoopi Goldberg, John Cleese and Wayne Knight (aka mailman Newman in the Seinfeld sitcom). “You feel like youʼre family,” says Amell. “Thereʼs so many of us together. When they do a show, thereʼs a group from Calgary and also a group coming up from Hollywood with different people. “But we all seem to get along pretty good, and weʼve all been in this industry for so long, everyone knows how to click because we all know the right language and how to put things together.” Ten years from know, Amell suspects heʼll still be part of the industry vocabulary, with its prop masters, gaffers, hot sets, DOPs and dolly-grips. “The security work allows me to still be in the industry because it still is kind of a young personʼs game. “As you get older you have to kind of think of what else you can be doing, because some of those jobs can be very physical.

formation, pictures, articles and more. Last semester, I had the wonderful opportunity to take one of these classes. Iʼve always had an interest in photography, and this class gave me the resources to develop my skills. This class really gave me some insight into future career options, because media is a huge part of so many jobs. Being in the class showed me what I could do in the future, whether that be journalism, design, or editing. It showed me skills I didnʼt know I had. Media is a huge part of my life in many ways. Being able to analyze it and construct it is a valuable skill, especially in this era of technology and advertising.

Advertising and the media are so important in todayʼs culture. It has a huge influence on all age groups, but especially on teenagers and young adults. St. Joeʼs has realized the need to understand this world of advertising, so a series of media classes were introduced this year. These classes focus on different aspects of advertising, through print, film and online. All of these classes teach the basic principles of Adobe industrial-standard software programs, including Photoshop and Illustrator. Each class also specializes in either web journalism or film pro-

cameras and equipment and experiment with professional software. Through videos and demonstrations, new skills and techniques are learned and applied. Students enrolled in the classes are often responsible for covering sporting events such as volleyball and basketball games. They capture photos, record scores and highlights and publish the information. The media classes are also responsible for adding content to the school website. Each student uses their talents and interests to cover a certain aspect of our school. The results of their hard work is linked to the school website, sjchsrenfrew.wordpress. com.
