News - Three local municipalities have turned to Renfrew for leadership in a new recreation partnership. Greater Madawaska (as the lead agency), Bonnechere Valley and North Algona Wilberforce townships have kicked off a rural recreation pilot project. The Ontario Sport and Recreation Communities Fund is providing $171,342 for the 14-month project that ends March 31, 2015. Greater Madawaska Mayor Peter Emon announced the partnership at Renfrew council Feb. 10, when he ofﬁcially asked for Renfrew’s leadership role in the project. At a cost to be determined, Emon said recreation director Kevin Hill will supervise and help assess the project and the project’s new recreation coordinator. The co-ordinator is Jordan Wall, who was selected from among 28 applicants. The provincial government grant will pay for administration, equipment, Wall’s salary and Renfrew staff participation.

News - The ongoing battle to address water-quality issues on Muskrat Lake continues. A new community group, the Muskrat Watershed Council, will hold its inaugural meeting this Saturday, Feb. 22. The meeting is

expected to run from 9:30 a.m. to noon at Cobden Public School. The Muskrat Watershed Council is primarily concerned about nutrient-loading and deteriorating water quality on Muskrat Lake, in Whitewater Region Township, but will be looking at the entire watershed in an attempt to address nutrient sources. Nutrient-loading is not a unique

Canadian issue, says Doug Skeggs, a volunteer who is working on setting up the council. The former Ministry of Natural Resources employee, who retired in 2013 and lives within the Muskrat Lake watershed, said nutrient-loading isn’t restricted to this area. See MUSKRAT, page 5

Six properties declared surplus Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Renfrew council will retain ownership of property near the former town beach, but has selected six other residential properties as surplus. Council discussed at its Jan. 27 council meeting the pros and cons of declaring seven residential properties surplus. The town has owned all seven properties for several years. Some of the properties also contain designated parklands, but council members noted during discussion that its recreation master plan calls for better use of its current parks, not expansion of its parkland program. Mayor Bill Ringrose indicated the town will endeavour to dispense of the properties at a fair price. The six properties declared surplus are: 289 Centennial Drive; Lot 272 on Seventh Street; Concession 2, Part of lot 9 on O’Brien Road; block 19, plan 49M-25 on Mayhew

Street; 224 Patrick Avenue; and Concession 1, part lot 14, part 4 and part 1, on Aberdeen Street. The one property not declared surplus, among the seven considered, was 210-212 Ready Avenue. Council unanimously voted not to declare the Ready Avenue property surplus after Coun. Jim Miller said it was worth protecting, at least for now, because of its location across from the former town beach. The property also abuts the current RCAF park. Possible property uses, if the nearby beach area is developed, could include parking or any number of things, said Miller. “It could be used for something else other than property for someone to build a house on,” said Miller. “We have a lot of other properties for sale, so I’d like to see it set aside until we’ve had a discussion about what we’re going to do with that area down there (beside the Bonnechere River).”

“I do see the vision that Councillor Miller suggested, with a long-term plan, possibly for future tourism (activity),” said Coun. Andrew Evans. Ringrose suggested the status of the property could be reviewed if “after an appropriate period of time,” a use for the Ready Avenue property is not determined. An appropriate period, said Ringrose, is a couple of years. “Either way, it doesn’t really matter to me if we sell it or not,” said Coun. Clint McWhirter. “If the rest of council thinks we’re going to develop the area or do something with it, then I’m open ears to their ideas. But down the road, I’d Lucy Hass/Metroland still like to know if that’s go- Renfrew council considered declaring this Ready Avenue property as surplus. However, ing to happen.” Coun. Jim Miller spearheaded a move to keep the property under Town of Renfrew ownMcWhirter also said the ership. The property abuts the former Renfrew beach and the RCAF park. land could sell for much better than a bargain-basement price. In the near future, council will also decide which townowned commercial and industrial properties will be declared surplus.

Pilot project Continued from front

$300 Until Feb 28th

The co-ordinator will work, on average, one day per week in each of the three rural municipalities and two days a week in Renfrew. It’s hoped the project will provide an effective and sustainable model for use in other rural municipalities by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport. In applying for the grant, Emon says Greater Madawaska said the project made sense in terms of recreational and economic development needs for municipalities with populations of less than 5,000. The three participating rural municipalities are very similar in framework and needs, explained Emon, noting they’re very volunteer-based in their successful and unsuccessful recreation programs. The grant was received after Greater Madawaska consulted with the Petawawa, Renfrew and Arnprior recreation departments before turning to Renfrew for leadership. “Part of what we want at the end of the day,” said Emon, “is we want to take the best of all three municipalities. The idea is to have a program in place to cover off all three partners … and it made sense to come and speak to you folks (in Renfrew) because you have the expertise on-site.” Coun. Jim Miller said he was glad to hear that “we’re starting to make some dents in the fences, that we’re starting to partner, and that’s really an advantage. I’m so in favour of something like that.” Who knows where the program will lead, but it’s a beginning, added Miller. “It’s been a matter of finding the right opportunity, and we think this is the right opportunity,” said Emon.

Greater Madawaska Mayor Peter Emon fields a question from Renfrew council about the rural recreation pilot project. “There seems to be some benefit in doing things collectively,” said Renfrew Mayor Bill Ringrose, alluding to this project and recent approval of Renfrew user-fee programs with the Horton and Admaston-Bromley townships. “What we want to do is take the best of programs operated individually in the three municipalities and try to extend them out to the other partners, plus whatever we can take from Renfrew,” said Emon. “I think it is a wonderful opportunity to partner with our neighbours,” responded Coun. Gail Cole. “Kudos to all the people involved in working out the details and having the foresight to bring this forward.” Looking down the road, Emon said he hopes it leads to more recreational opportunities in the three rural municipalities, and results in a rural recreation program with ongoing partners. “We think there’s the opportunity to go back, once we prove the model works, to then expand it into maybe active living and health prevention,” Emon told The Mercury. “One of the challenges is to put the program together. The second challenge is to try to find some permanent funding through the partners and possibly the Province.” The pilot project addresses the low fitness profile of Renfrew County residents and provides another reason for people to come to, or remain, in the area, said Emon. He said the project will address the entire age profile of the three rural communities.

Council remuneration ﬁgures released Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Mayor Bill Ringrose had only $105 in claimed expenses, but he still received 40 per cent more remuneration than the next-highest paid member of Renfrew council last year. Ringrose’s salary as mayor was $27,806, bringing his total remuneration to $27,911. Several Renfrew County municipalities pay lower salaries for councillors, but also

compensate them for attendance at committee meetings. In Renfrew, council members are not given additional compensation for travelling to and attending those meetings. Reeve Audrey Green received total compensation of $16,695, from a base salary of $15,383 and another $1,312 in expenses. Each of the ﬁve councillors received a base salary of $13,607. Their total remuneration, with expenses appearing in parentheses, were: Jim Miller

$15,464 ($1,857); Clint McWhirter $15,255 ($1,648); Gail Cole $14,149 ($542); Tom Anderson $13,627 ($20); and Andrew Evans $13,709 ($102). Total remuneration for council members was $116,811 in 2013, compared to $116,182 in 2012. Salary remuneration in 2014 will rise two per cent. In 2013, the town also paid $2,400 to Jeff Scott, the town’s appointee on the Renfrew Police Services Board.

Taxes in arrears down, but still over $1 million Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - The Town of Renfrew’s total taxes in arrears, which include unpaid water and sewer bills, are over $1 million. Treasurer Keray O’Reilly acknowledged during town council’s Feb. 10 meeting that this is a very high number, but also noted that inroads have been made since last year. In previous years, total taxes in arrears

for 2012, 2011 and 2013 respectively were $1.3 million, $1.4 million and $1.3 million. “We’re making a concentrated effort to track down overdue accounts,” said O’Reilly. Nearly 54 per cent of the town’s total tax in arrears of $1,098,638 stems from unpaid taxes in 2013 of $592,015. Total tax arrears means property taxes, water and sewer bills transferred to tax bills, and penalties and

interest. Another $293,408 (26.7 per cent) of total taxes in arrears is from 2012. The remaining $213,215 (19.4 per cent) is from 2011 and STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND prior years.

Debeau wants to see his hometown of Renfrew prosper Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Bob Debeau has had a long and varied career, but he’d like to add the title of town councillor to the mix.

Debeau, who turns 66 shortly before the October 2014 municipal election, says he has seen a lot of changes in his hometown, for better and for worse. He also says Renfrew needs prosperity and

he’d like to use his community and business experience to improve its economic climate. “I have an honest interest in the welfare of the Town of Renfrew,” says Debeau, a married father of two adult-

age children. “I’m in because I want to make a difference and try to improve Renfrew,” says the first candidate to officially enter the race for councillor. He filed Feb. 7. “We definitely need more employment, whether it’s factories or other businesses, and we need to find ways to get those back into Renfrew.” This is basically Debeau’s second involvement in politics, since he helped out with Progressive Conservative MPP Jim Baskin’s unsuccessful campaign in the early 1970s. Debeau has lived all but

one and a half years of his life in Renfrew. He left town in the late 1960s to work for Hostess, in Cambridge, Ont., but came back to manage his dad’s business from 1968-78. His dad Ted founded Debeau’s Flowers in the late 1940s. “I got to know a lot of people,” said Debeau, who can say the same about his 30 years as a volunteer with First Renfrew Scouting. He got involved because of his son Sean, in 1980. He stayed involved, including time as the Opeongo District Commissioner until his departure from scouting in 2010

Since the 1980s, Debeau has also worked with local companies Timminco Metals and Magellan Aerospace as a millwright welder. He retired in October 2013, but was asked back to work part-time until he retires at the end of February 2014. In seeking a berth on council, Debeau says he feels strongly about the sad state of the roads in town. Also, he opposed recent efforts to bring an indoor pool to town. He says he’s against building one because the Arnprior pool already accommodates the needs of Renfrewarea residents.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We heard that loud and clear at the symposium in October. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we need to do now is get the community group established so we can begin to work on a solution.â&#x20AC;? HUGE ISSUE

They are onsite to check blood pressure, pulse, respiration, oxygen saturation, temperature, blood glucose levels and answer questions or concerns from patients. No appointment necessary.

He cites such examples as Lake Erie, Lake Simcoe and Lake Winnipeg. Nutrient-loading, in the case of Muskrat Lake, largely refers to phosphorus loading. But Skeggs says it can come from such a wide variety of sources as fertilizer, septic tanks, water treatment plants and the natural environment. The establishment of this new community group is a follow-up to the Muskrat Lake Water Quality Symposium held in October 2013 and attended by about 150 people. Since then, a focus group of 10 people has been working on terms of reference for the new organization and planning for the inaugural meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no doubt that people are concerned about water quality on Muskrat Lake,â&#x20AC;? said Skeggs.

Organizers say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to attract not just people from around Muskrat Lake, but across the entire Muskrat Watershed, because nutrient-loading is a huge watershed issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re people who are responding to a challenge,â&#x20AC;? stressed Skeggs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the response to these kind of challenges is most effective when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s directed by local community group members who want a change and a better future for their water body.â&#x20AC;?

Meanwhile, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Reilly is prepared to recommend that Renfrew start charging interest on unpaid water and sewer bills. Council has turned down that recommendation twice in recent years, but Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Reilly says he will make the recommendation again this year. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Reilly says this move makes sense for at least two reasons. One, Renfrew is the only Renfrew County municipality not to charge interest on unpaid water and sewer bills. Two, water and sewer balances transferred to taxes in arrears remain high. The total water-and-sewer bill transfer was $225,448 in 2011, $212,362 in 2012 and $297,420 in 2013.

Of total Renfrew taxes of $12.2 million levied in 2013, four per cent remains outstanding. Total taxes in arrears from all past years is nine per cent of total taxes levied in 2013.

MP honours Mayor Wilson in Parliament News - Renfrew-NipissingPembroke MP Cheryl Gallant was pleased to rise in the House of Commons to pay tribute to the career of Laurentian Valley Mayor Jack Wilson. Mayor Wilson and his wife Evelyn were present in the House of Commons gallery during the Feb. 10 tribute. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, after 50 years, 18 years on council and 33 as mayor, Jack has decided it is time to retire,â&#x20AC;? said MP Gallant, in reference to his plan to retire late in 2014. The end of his last of 50 years in politics will also signal the start of the next four-year term of municipal ofďŹ ce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jack Wilson is my mayor and as a fellow ratepayer I appreciate the steady hand Jack has had as mayor and as a Renfrew County councillor,â&#x20AC;?

Scheduled to run Feb. 28 to March 30, Valleylicious is an opportunity for diners to experience excellent fare at Ottawa Valley restaurants that offer a variety of ďŹ xed-price dinner menus. Participating restaurants are encouraged to showcase unique recipes, and new, exciting food and ingredients in their three-course meals. The ďŹ xed price meals, including a starter, entrĂŠe and dessert, will be offered at a number of locales with prices starting at $20. Other menu items will still be available during this period. Some dates and restrictions may apply, and it is recommended that diners call ahead to make reservations while indicating theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to experience Valleylicious. Criteria for this program were developed after consulting with other communities and the Ontario Culinary Tourism Alliance. A news release says the County of Renfrew, which is working with the Ottawa Valley Economic Development Partners Group, is excited about the future of culinary tourism in this area. The county also hopes that Valleylicious plays a complementary role in many of the great culinary offerings and events that happen in Valley communities throughout the year. For a full list of the restaurants participating in Valleylicious, along with their menus and an interactive map, visit www. OttawaValley.Travel/Valleylicious.

News - Admaston-Bromley has entered into an agreement with Ontario One Call. ON1Call is offering the opportunity for municipalities to register their infrastructure ahead of an upcoming legislation deadline of June 2014. ON1Call operates a 24/7 contact centre for anyone digging in Ontario to request the location prior to excavation work. In Admaston-Bromley, storm sewers are the most potential type of infrastructure, with the potential to be damaged by excavators. ON1Call operates the provincial â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;call before you digâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; service which enables contractors, the municipality and taxpayers to fulďŹ ll their legal obligations to obtain locates before digging. It was founded in 1996 by Bell, Enbridge Gas and Union Gas. ON1Call has Hydro One, R0012551604_0220

Bell Canada and Enbridge Gas as infrastructure owners registered in the township. Municipalities who register their infrastructure prior to the June 2014 deadline will receive one month free in 2015 for each month they join early. Registration by Feb. 28 will net Admaston-Bromley a full four months free in 2015. There will be no charge to the township for the initial setup. Costs of locate processing will be credited 100 per cent until at least Dec. 31, 2014. SENIORS HOME SUPPORT

Renfrew and Area Seniors Home Support executive director Judy Ewart and chairperson Dave Bennett spoke to council Feb. 6 of the importance of Seniors Home Support. Because of its service, many older people can live at home for a longer period of time, they said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to say thank-you for the support you have given our

agency in the past. AdmastonBromley has been very generous, both ďŹ nancially to support us, and also with Joanne McDonald representing you at our council,â&#x20AC;? Ewart said. Home Support has 89 volunteers, eight from AdmastonBromley. Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe assured Ewart and Bennett that support from the municipality will be provided. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Consider that request. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll direct it to the clerk to put it on our budget. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of support here.â&#x20AC;? One service that Home Support has recently provided is income tax returns. Last year, it did 600 income tax returns in two months. BUSY BOOKINGS

OPINION EDITORIAL

Connected to your community

The decade of debacles Opinion - The Conservative Party of Canada is in a unseemly, lengthy battle with the military, and MP Cheryl Gallant is helping the matter. The most recent example is when she coldheartedly told soldiers that the stigma of mental illness was all in their heads; that governmentcreated military treatment centres are not to blame. “The stigma that has to be overcome is a stigma with themselves,” Gallant is quoted as saying on Parliament Hill on Jan. 30. This, when she knows full well that a 2012 report by the military ombudsman shows that a negative attitude toward mental illness remains ingrained in military culture. Gallant discourages dealing with the problem with comments like hers. As she has done throughout her gaffe-filled political career, Gallant tried to blame media. Too bad for her those words were recorded in the House of Commons. How to escape taking responsibility this time? Blame Liberals, those entitlement-driven elites who were responsible for the military’s “decade of darkness” in the 1990s? It’s hardly worth responding to the empty rhetoric any longer. Stigma still surrounds mental illness, whether it be teenagers struggling with sexual identity or rugged soldiers dealing with post traumatic stress disorder in Renfrew County. Blaming the victim is usually a sure sign of a bully. “Bully” is a term used to describe Gallant’s fellow Conservative MP Julian Fantino, who earned the indignation of veterans recently when he decided to show up late for a meeting to hear concerns over the closure of eight veterans offices across Canada. There is no doubting that his body language in news footage betrays little respect for those he met with. Indeed, Prime Minister Stephen Harper does the same when he talks about increasing efficiency by having Service Canada take over work done in veterans offices: Why should veterans be treated any different than other Canadians? How about: Because they are veterans. Because they were willing to risk life and limb for their country. Because they were willing to travel to far-flung parts of the world to help those oppressed by militants and, in some cases, governments. That is why they should be treated differently than other Canadians. That is why they should have their own offices. Before the next election, the 4,000 Canadian Forces members in Renfrew County should take a close look at what Harper, Fantino, Gallant, and the rest of the Conservative party have done for them since the “decade of darkness.” There has been a growing number of suicides by veterans. Planned purchasing of military hardware like helicopters, ships, trucks, planes has been botched. The new procurement process only adds more bureaucracy. Substandard submarines, Inuit Rangers carrying First World War rifles, jalopy airplanes – where does it end? Who to blame for the decade of debacles? The Conservatives should stop blaming the military and the previous government and take concrete, compassionate steps to address problems so apparent to everyone but those who can do something about them.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Community invited to help build collection to help the homeless To the editor: To the residents of Renfrew Opinion - I am writing to remind you of my ongoing Homeless Collection. It is now 10 years since I began collecting in 2004 and I can’t count the truckloads that have been donated by the good people of Renfrew and delivered to The Shepherds of Good Hope, The Ottawa Mission, Operation Come Home and The Well. Cold weather is upon us, which lends thought to those less fortunate who are forced to spend days, and sometimes nights, on the cold streets. The lines at shelters and food banks grow longer and longer. My want list is much the same with a couple of additions: blankets, bedding, sleeping bags, towels, coats, clothing, footwear and hygiene products. I am always looking for new or spotlessly clean underwear. I am also collecting for children and young people. As I collect donations I sort and rebag them in large, clear leaf bags for easy identiﬁcation with, for example, ladies sweaters in one bag, To the editor: Opinion - This is my ﬁrst letter to your paper. I wish to express how much I enjoy receiving your paper. Since we live in Pembroke, beyond the boundary to which it is delivered, I am given it by a friend.

men’s pants in another, dental products and hair care necessities in separate containers. As I do the sorting, I separate clothing that might appeal to younger people and deliver it to Operation Come Home. The name has been changed from Operation Go Home as so few of these precious older children have someplace decent to return to. These children didn’t choose to be on the streets but it was better than the homes of the abusive (often sexual), alcoholic and drug addicted parents they were unfortunately saddled Mary Cook’s stories have been a delight to read. The reason I’m writing is a longtime friend of over 40-plus years, Audrey, passed away recently. We exchanged letters almost every two weeks.

As long as this problem exists, so does my homeless collection. Remember, this winter when you complain about the bitter temperature, you at least have a warm home to go to. Increasingly, many don’t. I have a problem that I am hoping someone can help me with. Operation Come Home is unable to pick up I always sent Mary’s stories to her, which she so enjoyed as she also grew up in a rural area.

Heritage Renfrew honorary membership Volunteers are at the heart of Heritage Renfrew. Long-time Renfrew Mercury columnist Olga Lewis was honoured for her past and ongoing contributions to local heritage preservation. She joined Heritage Renfrew in 1994 and has held roles from membership chair and treasurer to president. She wrote an Old Files column for The Renfrew Mercury for 17 years before stepping away from that role at the end of December for health reasons. She continues, however, to work on an extensive history of Renfrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main street. Lewis was made an honorary member of Heritage Renfrew and presented with certificates of recognition from MPP John Yakabuski and MP Cheryl Gallant.

Survivor recounts tragedy Lucy Hass lucy.hass@metroland.com

News - Heritage Renfrew continues to live its motto, Preserving Yesterday for Tomorrow. At its annual general meeting Feb. 5, the group focussed on one of the greatest rail tragedies of the past century â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the 1942 Almonte train wreck. While 14 people died that night, the ďŹ nal death toll reached 47 and more than 150 people were injured. Survivor Ed Muldoon of Kanata was joined by North Lanark Historical Society curator Sarah Chisholm who gave a Power Point presentation on the accident, stories of some of the families affected and factors behind the tragedy. Eleven Renfrew families were affected, and the presentation speciďŹ cally noted victims Bessie McPhail, Della Sullivan and Marie Green, and told the survivor love story of Mac and Nora Crozier. Ed Muldoon was only 15 years old when he found himself trapped in the wreckage. The young Fitzroy Harbour farm boy had set out with his cousin for the bright lights of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lakeside Gardens dance hall when disaster struck. It was 8:30 p.m. on Dec. 27, 1942 when a late-running, jam-packed CPR train collided with a troop train on the same track, on the same route and travelling in the same direction. Muldoon was trapped in the train wreck for ďŹ ve hours waiting for help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a split second everything was done,â&#x20AC;? Muldoon said. Trapped in the wreckage for hours, not far from the train engine, he particularly recalls the headlight was still on and the

glass was not even broken. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how many of us were in that pile of junk,â&#x20AC;? he said. He also remembers people crying and calling for help, and how help came in the form of generous Almonte residents who opened their hearts and homes to the victims. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These people were amazing,â&#x20AC;? Muldoon said. On the other hand, Muldoon describes as â&#x20AC;&#x153;pitifulâ&#x20AC;? the way CPR ofďŹ cials went to the scene to get the victims to sign waivers releasing them from responsibility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all they cared about, getting that paper signed,â&#x20AC;? said Muldoon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was no help offered. There was nothing.â&#x20AC;? Muldoon says a curve in the rail line probably saved his and his cousinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives because the engineer had to slow down. Nevertheless, the tragedy was inevitable, given the conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was no way he could stop,â&#x20AC;? Muldoon says of the troop train engineer. There were no fatalities on the troop train that struck the passenger train from behind. Muldoon says he has been haunted by that deadly Christmas weekend, but has found some comfort in sharing his story with others. A fellow survivor is Dorothy Schultz of Renfrew who attended the meeting. She was a young student nurse at the time and believes she was spared because a friend had saved a seat for her farther from the point of impact, although the ďŹ&#x201A;oorboards near her seat buckled from the impact. Fifty-ďŹ ve years after the crash a monument was dedicated on the site of the accident.

NEWS Editor’s note: Following is a news release from the office of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant following passage of the 2014 budget. Opinion - Member of Parliament Cheryl Gallant is welcoming the federal budget, Economic Action Plan 2014, and its focus on job creation, economic growth, and keeping taxes low – along with its plan to get back to balance by 2015 – as a positive for Renfrew-NipissingPembroke. “While Canada has the strongest job creation record among all G-7 countries, with more than one million net new jobs created since the depth of the global recession, too many Canadians are still looking for work,” said MP Gallant “That’s why Economic Action Plan 2014 will continue our Conservative Government’s focus on creating more jobs and growing the economy in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke and across the country.” While the Opposition had been publicly calling for the federal budget to include new tax hikes on Canadians and more deficit spending, our Conservative Government rejected both demands, said Gallant. Economic Action Plan 2014 contained no new taxes on families and businesses, while also continuing to ensure government spending was efficient and effective as possible. “As we have seen in Queen’s Park, not having one’s fiscal house in order can lead to industry leaving the province, economic instability caused by rising electricity prices, with cuts to government programs and higher taxes,” said MP Gallant Economic Action Plan 2014 includes key measures to support Ontario families and strengthen our economy, while keeping taxes low and returning to balanced budgets in 2015, including: • Launching the Canada Job Grant: so that Canadians can get

Renfrew Collegiate Institute’s library has a new look thanks to librarian Mr. Lindemann. In January the entire library was painted. The room hadn’t been painted since 1986. “The idea is to try and create a welcoming place.” says Lindemann, who has taken many initiatives to achieve this goal in his ﬁrst year at RCI. “I made special areas in the computer and couch areas. I also tried to theme them. The reference section has a cottage-outdoor theme.” Besides décor, Lindemann has also made subtle changes in hopes to make the library better for students. “I took down the don’t eat and don’t talk signs because I trust the students know how to behave.” Although there was some opposition to this change, Lindemann feels that it was successful. “This environment leads to trust; I trust the

So far there have been no discipline problems and the students are well-behaved.” Student Devon Barber said, “I love the new look but more importantly it is a relaxing area where I can work on-line without any major interuptions or I can come here af-

ter a hectic day to calm down and hang out with friends.” Many other projects are underway in hopes to improve the library. More signage is starting to be put up to make it easier for students to ﬁnd books. Tangible displays are also showing up. “I’m trying to put up more themed displays so students have something to touch instead of just books. Right now there is a sail-boat with different sailor’s knots and books about boating – sort of like a museum piece,” Lindemann explains. Lindemann has deﬁnitely made an impression on RCI so far, and the school has made an impression on him as well. “I love RCI. The students are incredibly polite and courteous. The people thanking me make me feel good about my work,” he said. A new digital way of organizing the library is also in the plans for the future.

Time to top up membership Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Lifestyle - The group is called TOPS, which stands for take off pounds sensibly, and that’s what the Renfrew chapter continues to do over the years. However, membership has waned in more recent years, with aging of its membership, and leader Cindy Ebert says the group welcomes male and female members of all shapes, weights and ages. “Anybody is welcomed, but we’re looking for younger members, because a lot of members have been in a lot of years,” she says. It’s estimated the local TOPS group has been around more than 20 years, says member Bev MacLean, 64, who has reached her goal weight, after losing 35 pounds. Having reached and maintained her goal weight, she’s now known as a KOPS, which stands for keeping off pounds sensibly. MacLean joined TOPS in April 2011, and by June 2012 she reached her goal weight, after previous unsuccessful efforts with other weight-loss methods. The support of the group has been instrumental to her ability to keep weight off sensibly, says MacLean.

like a toothpick. They just support me. And they teach the right way to lose weight, rather than starving ourselves.” Keys to sensible weight loss, say Ebert and MacLean, include drinking water, regular exercise and sensible food choices. Attending the sessions has introduced teenager Ebert to such healthy and tasty foods as kale and quinoa. Each weekly session features a different topic, while the group also holds a Christmas party, Halloween party and April awards night. MEMBERSHIP SPECIAL

Bev MacLean says she enjoys the supportive and informative TOPS sessions at Renfrew Best Western. One of the group’s youngest members is Faith Ebert, 14, who enjoys the Thursday 6:30 p.m. sessions at Renfrew Best Western. “It’s more like family,” says Ebert. “If you’ve had a rough week, guaranteed you’ll go there and laugh. It’s very supportive. “I know I don’t have to look

Normal membership is $32 per year, plus $2 per attended session. However, during the current February-March membership drive, members are being offered a refund on half their annual membership after three months with TOPS. Members exchange ideas, update their personal food journals, and access information from such TOPS publications as The Choice is Mine and the monthly TOPS News magazine.

Make domestic violence your business Gwen Rutland Bernadette McCann House

DID YOU KNOW? Grey hairs can begin to appear due to a lack of copper in your diet. Hair Volume™ tablets contain copper, which affects melanin production to help avoid grey hairs.

Community - Domestic violence doesn’t stay at home when women go to work. Domestic violence affects a woman at her workplace. It is crucial that domestic violence be seen as a serious and preventable problem, like thousands of other workplace health and safety issues that affect a business. More and more, employers today recognize that personal, “real life” problems affect job performance, and job performance affects the bottom line. Domestic violence affects productivity and increases absenteeism. In a national survey, 24 per cent of women ages 18 to 65 had experienced domestic violence. Thirty-seven per cent of women who experienced domestic violence report that this abuse had an impact on their work performance in the form of lateness, missed work, keeping a job, or career promotion. A study of survivors of domestic violence found that abusive partners harassed 74 per cent of employed women at work. Domestic violence caused 56 per cent of them to be late for work at least five times a month, 28 per cent to leave early five days a month, and 54 per cent to miss at least three full days of work a month. It is reported that abuse also affected their ability to keep a job. Many employers offer health care benefits to their employees. Not surprisingly, this is another area where domestic violence has an impact

on a company’s bottom line. The total health care costs of family violence are estimated in the hundreds of millions each year, much of which is paid for by the employer. Employers are aware of this economic burden. Forty-four per cent of executives say that domestic violence increases their health care costs. Domestic violence is an important business issue that cannot be ignored. The workplace is where many women living in an abusive relationship, spend at least eight hours a day. It’s an ideal place for them to get help and support. Domestic abuse affects employee health and well-being, productivity, beneﬁt costs, and risk to the employer. When employers see domestic violence as a workplace issue, they have the power to save money – and save lives. Although employers may have their own policies and procedures, an effective response to women employees experiencing domestic violence, could come through workplace training, employee assistance programs, or referrals to the community Women’s Shelter. Bernadette McCann House provides critical services and support to women facing domestic violence. We offer training sessions and workshops in the community to provide comprehensive information in informal interactive settings, and we tailor our information to meet the needs of each speciﬁc audience. For more details, call 613-732-7776, or visit our website at www.wsssbmh.org. If requiring shelter or support, call 1-800-267-4930.

Successful Renfrew Rotary trivia night at Bonnechere Manor Renfrew Rotary Club

Community - Feb. 8 was Renfrew Rotaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second annual trivia night for mental health. This fun-ďŹ lled evening was held at the Bonnechere Manorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rotary Hall, where the club provided a chili dinner, dessert and cash bar. A total of 12 teams competed in six rounds of questions. Each team, composed of six team members, answered trivia questions ranging from science and entertainment to the arts and geography. However, the fun didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end there. In keeping with the Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day theme of the evening, teams could gain bonus points by singing a song with the word â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;loveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in it. By the eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conclusion, there were two teams tied for ďŹ rst place. The Bossy DorkZ and the Rotary Wheel Nuts were neck to neck after the ďŹ nal round of trivia questions and the tie was broken with a singoff. Each team sang their love song enthusiastically and the audienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s applause determined the ďŹ nal winner. The Rotary Wheel Nuts took the prize with their rendition of Elvis Presleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Love Me Tender. This trivia singing team consisted of Kent and Marg Tubman, Judy and Doug Ryan, Russell Wardell and Susan Tough. The eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purpose was to raise funds and awareness surrounding youth mental health. The winning team and the winner of the 50-50 draw generously donated all winnings back to the cause. Almost $2,000 was raised in support of youth mental health projects in our community. It was clearly a successful evening and the Renfrew Rotary Club would like to thank all the participants for helping to make it such a fun and worthwhile evening.

Suicide amongst teens â&#x20AC;&#x201C; letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk Renfrew Rotary Club

For all Ages â&#x20AC;˘ Wheelchair Accessible

Website: http://www.tsarenfrew.ca _____________________________

Suicide among teens, unfortunately, is common today. The death of our children is extremely painful for the families, friends and communities. We are often at a loss of understanding why our children take their own lives, nor do we always recognize the signs and symptoms that our children are in need. In many cases, the suicide could have been avoided, if only we knew what to look for. Learning about mental illness can help everyone cope with the disruptions of body, mind and spirit. The Renfrew Rotary club is hosting a free information evening to discuss teenage mental health. Speakers Steve Walsh (Community Mental HealthThe Royal) and Tom Sidney (Renfrew Suicide Prevention and Crisis Centre) will lead a forum to help parents bet-

ter understand how to help our teenagers cope with lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s challenges and better recognize when our children are in distress. When we learn of the risk factors for teens and understand how the teenage brain rewires itself during puberty, we gain insight on what some of the stressors are for teenagers. The era of social media and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;being connectedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is actually contributing to our childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loss of individuality and their discomfort in spending time alone. They have little to no down time, resulting in feelings of isolation. Other triggers can be moving to a new school, changing communities, going to university, leaving family and friends, social and peer pressures. Since the opening of the Renfrew Suicide Prevention and Crisis Centre, 80 per cent of the youth that have accessed the centre have done so because of thoughts of suicide.

As a community, we are fortunate to have a centre with experts to offer information and help. With the advent of the internet, diagnosis by families and youth can lead to further problems. Although support of the family is usually important, professional help is imperative. Plan to attend the March 19 information session at St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s High School 7 to 9 p.m. and you will gain tools with which to help your children cope with the stressors in their lives. Effective coping strategies will be discussed and how to help your children build resilience. Only through awareness can we recognize the needs of our children and only through action can we orchestrate change. Join Rotary in helping to make a change!For more information contact Janet Springer 613-432-6694 or janet.springer@hotmail.com

Eastern Ontario ground zero for hospital downsizing Deep service and bed cuts at Renfrew, Arnprior, Perth, Smiths Falls and Ottawa hospitals Ontario Council of Hospital Unions

Community - With the recent announcement that the Renfrew hospital plans to cut birthing and obstetrics services, eastern Ontario hospitals are quickly becoming ground zero for health service cuts in Ontario, says Michael Hurley, president of the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions (OCHU). Downsizing hospitals, cutting beds and shedding services is the basis for the provincial Liberal government’s health care delivery reforms. Small rural hospitals are particularly threatened under this plan. The Renfrew Victoria Hospital plans to close its obstetrics unit in June 2014. The closure comes following signiﬁcant bed, surgery, procedure and therapy cuts at neighbouring hospitals in Arnprior and Perth and Smiths Falls. Ottawa too will see thousands of procedures moved from the Ottawa Hospital and privatized to private clinics, some of them for-proﬁt. “Short of closing hospitals as is happening in Niagara, it appears that eastern Ontario is seeing the harshest cuts to hospital services than elsewhere in the province,” says Hurley. Cutting obstetrics is particularly “shortsighted” Hurley says. “Communities need both the young and the old to stay vibrant. If young

families can’t access health services including birthing at the local hospital they will not be moving to Renfrew. Cutting hospital services is not a way to build and grow the community. It is the exact opposite of what Renfrew needs. If this cut happens, there will be no babies (unless born at home) with Renfrew as their birth place. And that is such a loss.” At the Arnprior Memorial Hospital, six hospital beds have been closed and de-staffed since early summer 2013. There are plans to cut more services in physiotherapy and diagnostic imaging, which will mean longer waiting times for area patients. In Perth and Smiths Falls the communities have formed a local coalition, which has been actively ﬁghting the closure of 12 hospital beds and cuts to hip, knee and cataract surgeries, the day hospital, palliative care, physician recruitment and non-emergency surgery. Hurley is encouraging the Renfrew community to mobilize, like they’ve done in Perth and in Smiths Falls, to keep obstetrics at the local hospital or face the slow and eventual death of their community hospital. He is also calling on the area MPP to speak out against the cut to obstetrics at the Renfrew Victoria Hospital and stop it from going forward.

Jaguars cap unbeaten season with junior girls volleyball title Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - It’s a season the St. Joseph’s Junior Jaguars will long remember. The Jaguars reeled off an impressive 10-and-0 regular season to earn the right to host the Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association junior girls volleyball playoffs Feb. 11 and Renfrew County championship Feb. 13. The Jaguars weren’t phased by the pressure of playing at home as they chalked up another four victories while losing only one set in the process. St. Joseph’s kept the undefeated streak alive with 3-0 wins over the Opeongo Wildcats and Mackenzie Mustangs Feb. 11. They then turned back the Madawaska Valley District Wolves 3-0 in last Thursday’s semiﬁnal before hoisting the county championship hard-

ware following a 25-23, 22-25, 25-13, 25-16 triumph over the No. 2 seed Fellowes Falcons. “The girls had a little bit of a relapse, losing the second game,” coach Renee Turcotte said. “They didn’t let that get them down. They bounced right back to win the next two games and got stronger as the ﬁnal match wore on,” the coach added. “They deserved it.” The Junior Jaguars now advance to the Eastern Ontario (EOSSAA) high school junior girls volleyball championship for A schools hosted by the Mackenzie Mustangs in Deep River Feb. 19.

However, it wasn’t quite enough for St. Joseph’s as the Falcons prevailed 47-40. On Thursday, the Jaguars hosted Opeongo in an EOSSAA qualiﬁer. St. Joseph’s cut a 33-21 halftime deﬁcit down to four points in the second half, but could draw no closer in an eventual 52-45 setback to the Wildcats. Jaguars coach Kip Mulvihill was pleased with the effort put forth by his team. “It was a successful and entertaining season,” he said.

Sports - The Renfrew Collegiate Raiders won the battle of cross-town rivals, and have earned the right to represent Renfrew County at the Eastern Ontario (EOSSAA) high school senior girls volleyball championship for A schools. The Raiders topped the St. Joseph’s Jaguars 3-1 in the

Renfrew County semiﬁnal Feb. 13. They are off to EOSSAA at Seaway District High School in Iroquois today. The Bishop Smith Crusaders captured the Renfrew County title with a 3-1 win over the Raiders. Bishop Smith had earlier shocked the leagueleading Fellowes Falcons 3-0 in the other semiﬁnal. RCI coach Jason Wilson said that after an emotional

semifinal, the final lost some of its lustre. “We met cross-town rival St. Joseph’s (in one semifinal), and it was the same for (Pembroke’s) Bishop Smith and Fellowes. There was no emotion left for the final.” The season ended for the Junior Raiders at Fellowes High School Feb. 11. RCI dropped 3-1 decisions to the Madawaska Valley District Wolves and Fellowes Falcons.

The RedBlacks then play their first pre-season road game in Montreal against the BleuBlancRouge the following weekend, before taking on the Toronto DoubleBlue in their regular-season home opener July 18. Only in Canada: If you’ve been following the Olympics, I’m sure you are well aware of the story about Canadian Gilmore Junio stepping aside to allow Denny Morrison to replace him in the long track speed skating 1,000-metre event. Junio said Morrison had a better chance to win. Morrison made good with a silver-medal performance. Maybe Junio should be Canada’s flag bearer during closing ceremonies. In another good story, Canadian head cross-country ski coach Justin Wadsworth ran out during a race and handed Russian Anton Gafarov a ski after Gafarov fell and broke his ski in the free-technique sprint. 0307.R0011957724

Peaks the site of prestigious U16 race Anne Lefebvre Calabogie Ski Racing Club

Sports - Calabogie Peaks was the site for the annual U16 Art Tommy Memorial Race Feb. 8-9. This longstanding event is named after the late but great alpine racer, one of the founders of Ottawa’s Tommy & Lefebvre Ski Store. This race is a super combined, where athletes race a Super G in the morning and a slalom in the afternoon. The times are then combined for an overall score. The racers competed both Saturday and Sunday, and overall winners were announced as well as winners for each day. The U16s were well-prepared for the race, having taken part in speed camp at the Peaks Feb. 5-7. Speed camp prepares the racers to ski at the high speeds required in Super G, and they learn how to take jumps, optimize their air and land pace, and maximize their overall swiftness. All of that hard work paid off for CSRC’s racers. On the girls’ side, Aylen Ferguson of Carp blasted down the Super G course and applied her technique in the slalom to ﬁnish with a career-best sixth place on Saturday.

KUNSTADT SPORTS

U14 racer Tyler Lefebvre rips down the slalom course for a top-20 finish. Combined with a solid result on Sunday, Aylen ending up hitting the podium for the first time – fifth place for combined score. Jenna Wissing (Ottawa) also achieved a personal best on Saturday, coming in 18th. The boys were also very successful. Alex Duff (Pembroke) was behind the field following his Super G run on Sunday, but pulled off a spectacular slalom to hoist himself up to third place. Connor Maclean (Manotick) threw it all out there with a 26th-place finish, while Travis Reid (Bath) posted a 38th-place finish. In other action, a contingent of U12 racers journeyed all the way to Quebec City Feb. 1-2 for the annual Defi Alpin Race at Le Relais Ski Hill. Notable results came from Wyatt CampbellBrunke of Renfrew who placed third overall out of 100-plus racers, and Sam Alexander of Carp who placed fourth overall. Feb. 1 found the U14 team tearing up the slalom course at Mont Cascades, Que. Hard-packed snow and sunshine made for a

perfect race day. Sam Duff (Pembroke) capitalized with another first-place finish. Sean Swayze (Braeside), Tyler Lefebvre (Calabogie), and Connor Allen (Manotick) stayed tight, finishing in 16th, 18th, and 20th respectively. Owen Barr (Carp) cracked the top half with 26th, while Liam Maclean of Manotick continued to improve with a 32nd place. The girls were either heartbreak or glory. Sophia Tan sped to another podium finish with a fourth place, and Lauren CampbellBrunke was set to join her when she straddled a gate and was disqualified. Alex Kerr (Kemptville) displayed her fine form with a 20th place, and Jessica Earle (Ottawa) smoothly slid into 30th. But Alyssa Steggall (Stittsville), Alexa Loudiadis (Ottawa), and Emma Schreider (Kingston) all faced a DNF result with a crash on one of their runs. However, with the girls’ positive attitudes, they are never down for long. Everyone was ready to rally at the next race Feb. 16.

PETER CLARK/METROLAND

Goaltender Matt Schroeder tracks down the puck while Wolves teammates Collin Raddatz (14) and Luke Lapierre (29) arrive on the scene to lend support against a pair of Stittsville Royals Feb. 11 at the Ma-TeWay Activity Centre. Having clinched first place in the Valley loop, the Wolves were unable to match the intensity of the Royals in a 6-4 loss.

Stittsville fends oﬀ Wolves Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - Now that they have clinched ﬁrst place in the Valley Division of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League, playoffs for the Renfrew Timberwolves can’t get here quick enough. At least, that’s what fans are hoping following the Renfrew club’s 6-4 setback to the Stittsville Royals Feb. 11. The score sounded close. But the Wolves were down 3-0 after one period and 5-0 through 40 minutes be-

fore mounting a bit of a charge in the ﬁnal stanza. The game was designated as a Stittsville home game even though it was played at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. A snow storm and inability to book Stittsville ice resulted in the game being moved here. No worries for Stittsville. They are now 3-and-0 in Renfrew during the 2013-14 season with one to play, a Feb. 14 encounter played too late for Mercury holiday weekend press times. See Wolves, page 28

Low Cup destiny in Renfrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands Andy Sklepowicz Behind the Glass

CHRISTINE JARRETT

Skating under the stars Cold temperatures havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prevented brave souls from attending Admaston Family Skate sessions on Friday evenings at the Admaston Recreation Complex. Family skates run every Friday from 5:30 to 8 p.m. All ages are welcome, and their is no charge. The canteen is also open with drinks and snacks available.

Sports - This year, Renfrew will control its own fate when it comes to determining the results of the Low Cup standings, and two successful outings since our last update has put our senior lads atop the standings. Renfrew was on the road to Arnprior to face Deep River when your loyal scribe ďŹ rst hit the beaches of the DR (Dominican Republic) and the lads came back with three wins out of four. The team of Rob Warren, Barry Griese, Dave Eady and Ed Hanson won their morning game 9-6 but fell behind 5-1 in game 2 after four and eventually lost 6-4. The Gary Smith rink with Don Armitage, Rory McKay and Bernie Leclaire played well all day and won their two games handily, 10-6 after taking seven in the third end and then 9-5. This put Renfrew ahead of Pembroke atop the Low

Cup standings when the former leaders split 2-2 with Arnprior. As I returned, humbled by the DRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of the Spanish ďŹ&#x201A;u, the lads took to home ice for a critical four games against archrival Pembroke, games that could well decide the Low Cup this year. Taking to the ice for his ďŹ rst Low Cup action this year, the wily master, Leo McCallum, led his team of Barry Griese, Dave Eady and Don Armitage through two nailbiters, both coming down to skipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last rocks. He lost his ďŹ rst game 6-5, and then won 7-6. The team of Rob Warren, Gary Smith, Jim Berg and Ed Hanson also had two tough games, needing Warrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s draw to the button against two to win 6-4 before taking a second close game 11-9. The three wins puts Renfrew 14 points up in the standings with two outings remaining and with no games against Pembroke, the lads just need to match Pembrokeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s results to reclaim the Cup.

NATURE

Connected to your community

Food is becoming very scarce for the accipiters Lifestyle - Sheldon and Basia Stewart had a Cooper’s hawk, an accipiter, take a pigeon from a ﬂock that had been feeding at the Stewart’s feeders. This hawk is very wary of humans and it is unusual for them to approach feeders but when they are hungry they attack in spite of their fear. The Stewarts were able to get several pictures of the bird after the attack. The Cooper’s hawk is an accipiter and their main food source is other birds. Their attacks are so very swift that it is often difﬁcult to identify them. The female is markedly larger than the male which allows them to seek a wider range of prey species. Because of the loss of habitat, pesticide use and shooting, accipiters have been on the decline since 1972. As a result, they have been placed on the endangered species list and are protected by law. Any attack on birds at your feeders will very likely be a sharp-shinned or Cooper’s Hawk, seldom the very rare goshawk. VERY RARE GOSHAWK A THANK-YOU NOTE

JIM FERGUSON Scene from the Hawk’s Eye cooks for you-all” of the barred owl is recognizable in any company and the screech owls “horse whinny” cannot be confused with any other night sound. If you are calling owls with tapes or CDs please use them sparingly, as the stronger more dominant bird calls on the play-backs will drive the less dominant resident birds from their territory. All you will have left are artiﬁcial calls and no owls. Please be careful. GREAT-HORNED OWL

We sincerely appreciate your participation, and we hope you had a wonderful 2013-14

TOWNSHIP OF MCNAB/BRAESIDE SUMMER STUDENT EMPLOYMENT

Carol and Gord Stickles at Eganville had a very rare goshawk strike one of the windows in their sunroom. The bird did not survive the strike which is a shame because this species is extremely rare and we cannot lose these amazing birds. As with all accipiters, they feed on other birds and this one was very likely chasing another bird with food on its mind. They become so intent on getting their prey that they forget that what they are seeing is really their reﬂection in the glass. In some cases their prey strikes the glass, killing itself and, unable to avoid a crash the predator strikes the window and becomes the victim. OWLS CALLING

The great-horned is our largest owl and capable of catching prey as large as skunks. Both male and female (the larger of the two) vigorously defend their territory against all other birds. They begin to broadcast their presence in February and nest shortly after.It takes the young birds up to 10 months to become efﬁcient hunters and on their own. The female may be covered with snow while she is incubating her eggs. BARRED OWL

Barred owls are very vocal and are quite tolerant of humans. The female is larger than the male but the difference if often hard to see. Courtship is during February and March, followed by nest building and egg laying. The barred owl’s territory is about one square mile (300 ha), and is defended much of the year. SCREECH OWL

Resident great-horned, barred and eastern screech owls have already began to break their winter silence and are making their presence known to all within hearing distance. The there is no mistaking the ﬁve-note call of the great-horned owl – three hoots close together followed by two further apart and more drawn out. The distinctive “who cooks for you, who

Eastern screech owls are polymorphic and have two colour phases, red phase and gray phase. Red phase birds are found in the Southern States and gray phase birds in the Northern States and Canada. Very little is known about the nesting behaviour of screech and barred owls. Any information you may have would help us gain more knowledge of their lifestyle.

HERITAGE Mary Cook Memories

Connected to your community

House parties would always bring some special Renfrew County magic Lifestyle – When I asked my older and much wiser sister Audrey how people knew where the next Saturday night house party was being held, without their being asked, she said it was very simple. Central just got on the switchboard and called everyone in Northcote, and told them where it was, and she also told them not to forget to bring something for the lunch. Well, that all made perfect sense to me. That Saturday, it was being held at Aunt Bertha’s and Uncle Alec’s home, just across the 20-acre field, so that meant the place would be fair jumping! With their large family, our five and goodness knows how many other kids from the Northcote area, it would be a rip roarin’ night. I asked Audrey, who I thought was the smartest girl in Renfrew County, if she thought it would be another night of magic. The magic I was talking about was a secret between my sister and me. “It could be,” she said with a grin. As soon as the evening chores were done, a hurried supper eaten, and our next-to-Sunday best clothes put on, we headed across the field in the flatbottom sleigh. We were the first to arrive. Within minutes the yard was full of sleighs and cutters, and Aunt Bertha’s usually immaculate kitchen was full of boots and outerwear piled in a heap in a corner. Aunt Bertha and Uncle Alex had one of the largest kitchens in the Northcote area, so there was still lots of room for tables for euchre, and a place for the fiddlers and guitar players to sit when it came time to change from cards to square dancing. I knew without asking that out in the summer kitchen, 11 quart baskets would be sitting wrapped in clean towels, and then piled under blankets to keep the innards from freezing. I could see the big white granite teapots teaming on the back of the cook stove … everything was ready for a great night of fun. Aunt Bertha would have opened the parlour, and people spread out wherever they could find a place to sit or stand. The very youngest of the children, and that included me, would soon tire of watching the adults at their card games, and we would head upstairs to play Jacks or marbles or snakes and ladders. The bedrooms were large at Aunt Bertha’s, much larger than ours across the field. But like ours, the beds were made up of soft downy feather ‘tickings’, puffy and inviting. Upstairs we could hear the laughter and the tables being slapped when someone yelled “Euchre!” It would be a late night. Much later than we younger ones were used to. And it didn’t take long for one after the other of us to crawl onto one of the downy beds – just to rest a bit as Joyce would say. There were so many of us that we had to lay cross ways on the beds, so that everyone had a place. Beatrice, who was a great story teller, would start into one of her tales, and Cora might sing. And that’s when the magic would happen. I had no idea it was even talking place, and it would take some time for me to realize it had. But I would waken, and the sun would be pouring in the window. Just like magic, I would be back in my own bed, in the very room I shared with my sister Audrey in our old log house across the 20-acre field. How did it happen? How could I possibly fall asleep in an upstairs bedroom at Aunt Bertha’s, right between my two best friends, Joyce and Velma, and waken the next morning in my bed? I would go downstairs and look for my sister Audrey, and once again we would share my secret question. “How did it happen, Audrey? How did I fall asleep at the Thoms with the music playing downstairs, and then wake up in my own bed?” Audrey would say the same words she said every time. “It’s just Renfrew County magic, Mary … just Renfrew County magic.” It would be many years before I would know that it was my father who would wrap me in a blanket after the Saturday night party came to an end, and carry me to the sleigh and tuck me into my own bed. Magic indeed!

GRAND ROUNDS “You really don’t think much about sickness or needing to use these services until something happens” With no family history of breast cancer, Emily MacMillan admits she was in denial when she discovered a lump. In January 2013 during an appointment to address her unusually high blood pressure with her family physician, she mentioned she had found something in her right breast and shared that she was reluctant to have it diagnosed. “He told me that you may have put it off, but I’m not going to,” MacMillan recalls about her conversation with Dr. John Collins. He immediately booked her first mammography exam at RVH. Moments after that exam, RVH digital mammography technician, Debbie Tiernay, called MacMillan back to the hospital so she could have her biopsy that same day. “I’ve been told that if I was in the city, I may not have got in for my screening so quickly,” which was a vital step in confirming the cancer and beginning the treatment and recovery process. “Then, anything that I could have done here in Renfrew, the nurses made sure to arrange it for me,” like further testing and chemotherapy. Smaller malignant lumps were found in her other breast, and MacMillan opted to have both removed by Dr. Susan Krajewski. “Women who are diagnosed with breast cancer are urgently referred for surgical

consultation with myself,” notes Dr. Krajewski. “Any complex cases are reviewed via multidisciplinary breast cancer rounds in Ottawa.” The surgeon has seen the number of patients being treated for breast cancer in Renfrew has almost tripled in the past two years. MacMillan now realizes the true value of having all of the state-ofthe-art radiology equipment readily available to local residents, which aided in the swift diagnosis of her cancer. RVH’s digital mammography equipment was funded entirely through support from the community and the RVH Foundation. She only needed to travel to Ottawa for her MRI, radiation and appointments with her oncologist. MacMillan has nothing but praise and kind words for her care team—especially the “angels” in the Oncology Unit. “They’re really like a family to me now; I always have to go up and say hello when I’m at the hospital.” “You really don’t think much about sickness or needing to use these services until something happens, and

I never realized how fortunate we are to have RVH and the wonderful people there available to us.” “I feel great now,” she says, and reports that she is back working in her salon, Friends Hair Design, on Coumbes Street. “Emily is such an amazing woman and has handled her disease with such courage and dignity,” says Dr. Krajewski.

HEALTH Lifestyle - Feb. 28 is the last day to enter the Canadian Cancer Society’s Driven to Quit Challenge, presented by McNeil Consumer Healthcare, division of Johnson & Johnson Inc., the makers of NICODERM® and NICORETTE®. Those who are planning to quit, or have recently quit, have a little more than a week left to register for their chance to win a grand prize of a car and other cash prizes, in addition to winning many health benefits. In 2012, more than 449 people in Renfrew County and District pledged to be a part of The Challenge and be smoke-free for the month of March. “Many smokers make five to seven attempts before they quit successfully,” advises public health nurse Diana Brooks. “Programs like The Driven to Quit Challenge, together with other smoking cessation initiatives, help to motivate people to make that quit attempt and provide access to professional support that can help increase a smoker’s chance of becoming tobacco-free.” New this year, Driven to Quit Challenge participants will be eligible to receive discount coupons towards the purchase of NICODERM® or NICORETTE®. Coupons are available while quantities last. If participants stay smoke-free for the month of March, they will be eligible to win a choice between a Dodge Avenger or a Dodge Journey, or one of seven prizes of $1000. Support buddies of winners each receive a $100 cash prize, making it enticing to encourage a friend to enter. For more information on local quit-smoking support services, please contact the Renfrew County and District Health Unit at 613-7358666 or 1-800-267-1097, Ext. 666 or www.rcdhu.com. Information regarding The Driven to Quit Challenge can be accessed online at www. DrivenToQuit.ca or www.defijarrete. ca (French) or by calling Canadian Cancer Society’s Smokers’ Helpline at 1-877-513-5333.

It serves the County of Renfrew, Pembroke, the District of South Algonquin and most of Algonquin Provincial Park. Its programs and services address the prevention of the spread of diseases and the promotion and protection of the health of residents in Renfrew County and District. The Canadian Cancer Society, Ontario Division’s Driven to Quit Challenge, presented by McNeil Consumer Healthcare, a division of Johnson & Johnson Inc.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING has staying power. has selling power. With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers. Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them. That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when they’re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice that’s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.
