They shoot, they score! A new ice pad and recreation centre are on the way.

Renfrew council approved the next step for the Ma-TeWay Activity Centre expansion at a special council meeting on Feb. 15.

Council authorized the preparation of construction documents at a cost of $163,990 and tender documents at $3,565. The total cost of the project (set to open in the summer of 2019) if it receives the final green light after a special council meeting on June 5, is $8,363,200.

Mayor Don Eady was excited for the next step and hopeful the tenders will be within budget.

“When you do something of this nature it’s a wee bit nervous in one sense but in the other sense I am very confident this is a huge step forward for the Town of Renfrew,” said Eady. The new facility will feature an NHL size ice surface (85x200 feet) and will be exactly where the outdoor arena currently is (there will be time allocated for shinny and free skating), six foot wide walking track, 54x84 foot gymnasium (10 feet longer and 10 feet wider than the current gym), offices, a sports museum, 46x49 foot fitness centre, three multipurpose rooms, retail/lease space and new change rooms and washrooms. (See design page 5) The mayor notes that council was unanimous in passing the motion to move forward (two councillors were absent from the meeting: Andrew Evans and Mike Coulas).

“I think council has a pretty good feeling about it,” said Eady. “It’s a huge upgrade, the (Rec Centre) is getting tired, and a newer modern facility will be a benefit to all the people of Town of Renfrew and area.”

As to the arena he said it will be very well used and points out a number of other towns have two or three ice surfaces.

Renfrew Rotary Homes welcoming new residents TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com

For 95 years the Rotary Club of Renfrew has been providing much needed services for the community.

One of the many ways they contribute is via the Rotary Homes located on Rotary Avenue in Renfrew, where they are now looking to fill three vacant homes.

The homes were built to celebrate Rotary International’s 50th anniversary in 1955. According to the club’s history, Murray Chown is credited as having the original idea for the project. The idea was to provide housing for seniors with limited income; the homes were compact with living space for two people.

The club received a 40-year mortgage and members decided to finance it without any public money.

To achieve this a limited company was formed and shares were sold to club members. The total cost of the project was $90,000.

The 500 square foot, one-bedroom homes were built before town or county subsidized housing was available.

The homes received upgrades in 2010 via a Rotary grant.

Dr. Ron Lavigne has been a Rotary member for 45 years; he describes

what some residents were living in at the time.

“I had patients who were living in shacks with dirt floors and a lot of people didn’t have housing like this in the Renfrew area. “ These homes have a front and back door with a lawn and now stairs.

“It’s not institutionalized,” added Lavigne.

Lavigne is the chair of the Rotary Homes committee. He wants people to know about the homes.

“We want people to read about the homes, react to them and hopefully know people who could use them,” said Lavigne.

The criteria to qualify as a tenant?.

“Whoever is in the most need,” said Andy Humphries, who has been a Rotary member since 2007.

Rent is only $265 per month and there is an application process to go through, noted the members. The residents are also required to pay their hydro and water.

“It’s quite unusual we have vacancies,” added Lavigne.

The three spots they need to fill have all been left vacant due to health issues.

Residents are quite happy once they get in a Rotary Home.

“Once you get in here they have a reasonable standard of living,” said

Tiffany Lepack/Metroland

Andy Humphries, Rick Culligan and Dr. Ron Lavigne stand outside the Rotary Homes on Rotary Ave. in Renfrew, the service club currently has a few vaccines in the homes.

Rick Culligan. “It has been low key because there has been such a low turn over.”

Shirley Eady has been living in a Rotary Home for 21 years and says

they are 100 per cent better than some other places.

“I think it is just wonderful, they are very good if you need something,” said Eady. “I am able to live on much

less. You can make any place a home if you want.”

Applications can be picked up at Dr. Mac Dewey’s office at the Renfrew Eye Clinic at 281 Raglan St. South.

Capital budget approved: 2 % increase MAC meeting Feb. 22 at 7 p.m.

TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com

The Town of Renfrew is looking to the future.

They have compiled a detailed 10-year capital budget plan, accounting for major projects and what’s to come.

Council approved the 2018 capital budget at its regular council meeting on Feb. 13 at $1 million taxation, a two per cent increase from last year.

Renfrew treasurer Keray O’Reilly admits they are a couple weeks behind but they wanted to put together the 10-year forecast. O’Reilly broke the budget into four major categories: infrastructure at $8.8 million; facilities $9.5 million, rolling stock (vehicles) $491,800 and equipment/other $381,800, which will be funded through taxation, grants, reserves, debt and other funding sources.

O’Reilly’s goal is to have all the components for the draft budget to the finance committee by the end of February and to council in March.

Renfrew Mayor Don Eady was very pleased with the approval of the capital budget.

“We have set a good path for the future,” said Eady. “We are only actually passing the budget for 2018 but the forecast going forth gives us a guide so that we are not going to be hit by surprises and maybe we can be more shelf ready for some projects and we get better pricing that way.”

Eady is proud to have the document 10-years out.

“The most important part for me is it streamlines the budget,” said Eady. “For 2019 heads of the departments can put their plans together and there will be very little increase in the tax rate going forward.”

O’Reilly notes they have ‘some fairly significant

Ke ep in

gO

ur C

projects’ coming up in 2018 such as the completion of Plaunt Street Phase 2, Highway 60 reconstruction, Barnet Boulevard and they are also introducing new funds to help with other road repair.

“There is $500,000 per year for shave and pave type road work,” explains O’Reilly. “Development and works have identified streets in town that have pipes in the ground that are in decent shape but road needs to be redone, we will re-work the asphalt and extend the useful life in that road.”

On the infrastructure side of things Barnet Boulevard from (Eighth to Gillan) will cost $336,000, Highway 60: $6,387,500 (with $3 million from the Connecting Links grant), repairs to the swinging bridge at $220,000, In total the infrastructure projects will cost $8,849,100 and is being financed through taxation, a number of grants and borrowing/debt of $4,334,900.

“There is in fact borrowing that has to take place to finance primarily the Highway 60 downtown Raglan reconstruction, portion of Barnet Boulevard in the neighbourhood of half a million dollars that needs to be financed, Plaunt Street phase 2, the expansion at Ma-Te-Way, the LED street lighting and overall that would require borrowing of $12.8 million for 2018 capital expenditures,” said O’Reilly. “It is a lot of money but the good news at the end of the day, the impact of that on the tax levy, tax dollars to be raised to finance going forward is 1.7 per cent or $140,100 that will be built into the required tax increase levy.”

On the facilities side of things staff have already allocated $8,363,200 for the Ma-Te-Way expansion with a second ice surface and recreation centre (see separate story on Feb. 15 special council meeting.

The town also approved the water/waste water budget at a two per cent increase for each.

“Now we will be back in the playing field to compete for bigger tournaments and bringing in some world-class events,” said Eady.

“Having this complex upgraded and brought into a competition with other municipalities puts Renfrew on a different page.”

Eady notes it will also be an economic boost to welcome a Jr. A team to town.

Coun. Tom Sidney also notes it’s just not an ice pad.

“It means larger home shows or festivals,” said Sidney. “It is an opportunity to move Renfrew forward to have a state-of-the-art new facility that gives Renfrew a chance to be more competitive on an economic development stand point.”

However, not everyone was happy with the step that council was making. A small group representing the aquatics committee was also on hand for the meeting.

Glenn Goslin has been a member of the aquatic committee for 15 years and thinks they are ignoring what the community wants.

“They have been told over and over again that this community needs and wants: an aquatics facility,” said Goslin. “They want a facility that services the whole community and not just one segment of the community.

What they are doing with part of this new facility development is continuing to serve the same 10 per cent with an ice surface.”

Goslin recognizes the need to replace the recreation centre, which would cost at least $2.5 million to bring it in line with building code.

“I do think when they choose to ignore

the needs that have been demonstrated over and over, that this council actually needs to be replaced with some people who can look at the whole community and say this is how we address the needs of the community.”

At the Nov. 14 meeting council approved two designs to be completed: a detailed design of a new recreation centre/second ice surface and a conceptual design of an aquatic facility.

Staff is also working on the release of a survey to all residents within a 25 to 30 minute radius to assess potential usage of an aquatic facility.

Eady thinks it would catastrophic for the town to take it on alone.

“We are going to do a study as best we can, at end of the day I guess if no one is interested in being in on it that’s the way it is.

You never know, we don’t know what’s going to happen until we ask.”

The town currently has Ma-Te-Way phase 2 expansion as part of the 10-year plan for capital expenditures for 2022 with a price tag of $5,412,00. Eady says they are not shutting the door on it.

“But not opening the door until we can prove we can do it in a fiscal manner that is acceptable to the people of the Town of Renfrew.”

The town has scheduled a public meeting; similar to what was presented Feb. 15, with a question and answer session for Thursday, Feb. 22, upstairs at Ma-Te-Way at 7 p.m.

NOTICE OF FIRST OPEN HOUSE FOR THE PROPOSED UNDERTAKING UNDER THE ONTARIO WATERPOWER ASSOCIATION CLASS EA FOR WATERPOWER PROJECTS: CALABOGIE GENERATING STATION REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is proposing to redevelop the existing Calabogie Generating Station (GS). This proposed undertaking will involve an Environmental Assessment (EA) under the Ontario Waterpower Association (OWA) Class EA for Waterpower Projects as a Project Associated with Existing Infrastructure. Constructed in 1917, the existing station has an installed capacity of 5 megawatts (MW) and is now at its end of life stage. OPG intends to redevelop the site and increase the station’s capacity to approximately 10 to 15 MW. The Proposed Undertaking is on the Madawaska River within the village of Calabogie, in the Township of Greater Madawaska, Ontario, as detailed on the map below.

OPG does not plan to alter the approved water levels and flows as described in the Madawaska River Water Management Plan (WMP). As such, the anticipated zone of impact for the project is limited to the immediate area around the station (see shaded/hatched area on the map). An administrative amendment to the WMP may be required under the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act. This notice and public consultation process for the project under the Class EA is intended to coordinate and meet the notification requirements relevant to the planning stage of the project under both the Environmental Assessment Act and Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act statutes.

The Class EA process requires OPG to undertake an evaluation of the project to evaluate its potential effects to the environment (positive and negative), and prepare a detailed environmental report. The evaluation and resulting environmental report will assess the potential effects of the proposed waterpower project on the environment during both construction and operation. OPG has identified certain environmental components that it expects to be the focus of the proposed project. Consultation with Indigenous communities and the public is an integral component of this process, and allows interested parties to provide comments on the project. You are invited to provide comments on the issues to be addressed. For information on the project proposal, to raise any issues or concerns, or to be placed on the project’s mailing list, please contact one of the individuals identified below.

Over the next year, OPG will use the OWA Class EA process as a basis for coordinating all future consultation required for the planning stage of the Proposed Undertaking. If the project proceeds as scheduled, construction could commence in 2020.

To encourage public participation, OPG is scheduling two rounds of open houses. The first open house is scheduled as follows: Monday, March 5, 2018, 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Calabogie Community Hall, 574 Mill Street, Calabogie, Ontario The open house will provide the public with more information about the Proposed Undertaking.

Anyone who attends will have the opportunity to speak directly with representatives from OPG and its environmental consulting team with regard to the OWA Class EA. OPG has retained Arcadis Canada Inc. to undertake the Class EA process. For more information, please contact: For more details, please visit calabogiegs.com.

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

Second World War veteran honoured at 100th birthday celebration TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com

It was a party 100 years in the making.

Almost centenarian Adam Kedrosky was honoured with three special commendations on Feb. 14 at the Bonnechere Manor.

Renfrew’s Royal Canadian Legion Branch 148 presented him with a Canada 150 medal for his service during the Second World War. He was honoured with dignitary certificates and speeches of praise and cake for his 100th birthday on Feb. 22.

He also received his 55year pin as a Legion member, having joined on Oct. 26, 1963.

How does it feel for Kedrosky to be 100 years old.

“It’s alright,” said Kedrosky. He said it was pretty good to receive the medal.

His one birthday request: a glass of scotch.

Kedrosky grew up in Renfrew working as a pattern maker and foreman at Haley Industries Ltd. for almost 40 years.

He also served as a Sgt. Flight Engineer for the Air Force during the war in Newfoundland prepping the planes to go overseas.

He was married to his wife Lila for more than 50 years before her passing in 2001 and together they had four children.

His daughter Jan Kedrosky was on hand for the celebration. She says her father is amazing.

“It’s like he has always been there and was very proud to be a veteran,” added Jan. He has lived at Bonnechere Manor for nine years and she praises the care he has received.

“It’s an amazing place and I only have good things to say about it.”

She recently asked him what he remembers most about the war years.

“He said the women!” she said with a laugh.

The family has a larger celebration planned on his actual birthday, where maybe he will get that coveted glass of scotch.

The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) would like to remind everyone to be aware of changing conditions before venturing out on ice covered bodies of water.

Please be aware of your surroundings and check the ice before venturing out, say police.

The Canadian Red Cross says the colour of ice may be an indication of its strength. Clear blue ice is strongest. White opaque or snow ice is half as strong as blue ice. Opaque ice is formed by wet snow freezing on the ice. Grey ice is unsafe. The grayness indicates the presence of water.

Ice thickness should be: 15 cm for walking or skating alone; 20 cm for skating parties or games

and 25 cm for snowmobiles.

Check with local authorities before heading out. Avoid going out on ice at night.

There are a number of tips to keep in mind to ensure you don’t end up making news instead of reading it.

Check the weather before you leave and watch for changing weather conditions.

Do not travel on ice alone or in the dark.

Always make someone aware of your plans and the routes you will be taking.

Make sure to carry a small survival kit with you in case of emergencies this can include but is not limited to; an ice pick, rope, lighter, matches, pocket knife, compass and whistle.

Safety first, last and always. Be prepared and stay safe.

Clear choice For Conservative party members Letter writer missed the point To the editor: Federal Conservative party members have a stark choice in the upcoming nomination vote on Feb. 24 in Renfrew and Barry’s Bay and the 25 in Pembroke, between the incumbent Cheryl Gallant and the challenger Mike Coates.

Whether you are an agricultural producer, like I am, or your livelihood comes from forestry, tourism, manufacturing, scientific research or the military, we all experience the challenge of making ends meet and providing a good life for our families, including having hope that our families can stay in the riding and share in our rich way of living.

Unfortunately, the last 25 years have not been kind to Renfrew County. We have clearly become a “have not” riding. While we stoically carry on, with the same spirit our forefathers brought to this land, it would sure be nice if we had an advocate in Ottawa who had a plan to lift the county from our negative economic situation.

After 18 years, first as a Reformer, then as an Alliance Party member and now as a Conservative, we know what to expect from the incumbent: more of the same. There’s a reason

why our representative has never advanced within the Conservative caucus either as part of the governing party or in opposition.

Her brand has succeeded wildly in isolating the riding from the political dialogue and has ensured that we have virtually no influence on policy development and management within the party. The incumbent has never been a parliamentary assistant, or portfolio critic, let alone in cabinet in 18 years in Ottawa. The last time this riding had a cabinet minister was when Joe Greene was our Member of Parliament in the 1960s and early ‘70s when the county was humming with economic activity.

So what’s the choice? The incumbent has spent much of her time during the nomination period describing her opponent, Mike Coates, as a lobbyist! So what is a lobbyist? Webster’s dictionary describes a lobbyist as “an individual who conducts activities aimed at influencing public officials toward a desired action”. Doesn’t sound too scary to me. Wouldn’t we like to have a representative who can move around political circles in Ottawa, work with our MPP representative

in Ontario and influence policy and regulatory matters that would actually make things better for our riding?

It’s time we had an advocate, yes a lobbyist, who has the framework of a plan for economic, infrastructure and social development. Whether you are in the agricultural sector, forestry, manufacturing, scientific research or military, wouldn’t you want someone on our side who is working to drive change that gets government working for us, not against us? I like the odds of success, working within caucus and government, rather than resolutely sitting on the sidelines, re-litigating yesterday’s issues.

It’s past time for RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke to emerge from within the Conservative Party as a positive, fresh Conservative voice. Our riding deserves more attention in Ottawa.

Our way of life is secure, we just need a representative like Mike Coates who already knows his way around the party to fight for our needs and values and insist we get our fair share.

The government cannot tell an employer what to think or believe To the editor: Last week, Allison Gibson submitted a letter entitled ‘Respect individual rights of students’ in response to my letter the previous week entitled ‘Totalitarian tactics in Canada?’ I was surprised that anyone would object to what I wrote.

Having read and reread her letter several times, I think I understand her objection to my opinion. She thinks that some employers don’t want to check the ’attestation box’ on the Canada Summer Jobs application form because they want to use discriminatory practices when hiring.

That thought never crossed my mind – we already have laws in Canada that prohibit discrimination when hiring for a program like this – although I must admit that this check box extends them even further to align with our government’s feminist agenda.

According to the employment minister, that is not the purpose of the check-box.

They simply don’t want any funding to go to groups founded solely to oppose abortions. Too bad they didn’t just say that! In case the reader is unfamiliar with the attestation that goes with the check box, it reads as follows: “CSJ applicants are required to attest that both the job and the organization’s core mandate respect individual human rights in Canada, including

the values underlying the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as well as other rights. These include reproductive rights and the right to be free from discrimination on the basis of sex, religion, race, national or ethnic origin, colour, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation or gender identity or expression.”

The reason for my letter was simply to point out that the government cannot make an employer attest to a certain belief in order to be eligible for funding. If you read the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the freedoms of conscience, religion, thought, belief and opinion are listed as fundamental. The government cannot tell an employer what to think or believe – not even Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the champion of ‘people-kind ‘.

There are two explanations for the presence of this attestation on the CSJ application form. Either it was simply poorly worded and went far beyond the intended purpose, or this government is forcing applicants to waive their fundamental freedoms in order to apply. The employment minister and prime minister refuse to admit it was a mistake, so that brings me back to… totalitarian tactics.

News from the Renfrew County District School Board SUSAN HUMPHRIES, TRUSTEE Renfrew, Horton and Greater Madawaska

Recently, director Renfrew County District School Board Pino Buffone, senior staff and the board of trustees visited our Mary Street site in Pembroke to learn more about the diverse population that we serve through our continuing and adult education programs.

Our students are newcomers to Canada, young parents, others who wish to upgrade some skills or actually complete their Ontario Secondary School Diploma.

We have several programs supported by three different ministries, including Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development, Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration and the Ministry of Education.

There are many programs available with sites in Arnprior, Renfrew, Pembroke and Petawawa.

Some of the programs include: Literacy Basic Skills, Co-op where you can work and secure credits at the same time, English as a second language, elearning and employment programs – all geared to helping adults attain their education goals. For more information, you can visit the RCDSB website and look under the Continuing Education section or contact the main office at 613-735-0151 ext 3325 and Janet will be able to answer your questions!

and director Buffone had the opportunity to meet with Chief Kirby Whiteduck and the council members.

Judy Ellis of Opeongo High School took us on an interesting tour of their health centre, community centre, day care and seniors housing. We have been very fortunate to have developed a strong partnership with this community and they have ensured that we have a better understanding of the Indigenous culture. Along with our Indigenous lead, Tina Nelson, some excellent teaching and learning is happening particularly at Eganville PS and Opeongo HS as well as across the county.

Technology in our schools!

At our recent board meeting, our four Technology Enabled Learning and Teaching Contacts (TELT-Cs) provided an overview of innovative programming and technology being used to expand and enhance student engagement, participation and character development in all aspects of school life.

Some of the topics they covered included: vLearning (currently offering five courses across the county); eLearning (30 sections available); eLibrary ( over 7,000 titles now available to students and staff of RCDSB); Virtual Reality (two centrally owned systems that travel across the county ) with the opportunity to use Tilt Brush (Art and Creative Designs), MakeVR (3D modeling for 3D printer) and Blocks (new Visit to Algonquins of Pikwakanagan Recently the board of trustees, senior staff Minecraft style open space); Coding and Ro-

botics; Technology in Math and New Pedagogies for Deeper Learning now expanded to 13 schools. It is amazing to see how our students become excited and engaged in learning when using some of these tools- many thanks to these talented staff in helping to bring the technology to our students and teachers!

recently held in Toronto for trustees across the province, we had the opportunity to highlight a student lead program that is offered at Opeongo High School.

Although the vernal equinox is still a month away, there are sounds currently being heard that tell us spring is on its way.

On warm days black-capped chickadees cheerily (and perhaps optimistically) whistle: “spring’s here” while white-breasted nuthatches stutter their unusual sonatinas.

Warm days inspire house finches to fill the air with their lovely warbles, rapidly travelling between high and low frequencies and ending in a down-slurred note.

Much less musical are the guttural croaks of common ravens uttered as they evaluate silo ladders and cliff ledges as near-future nest sites.

One common spring sound is made in a very different way.

Apart from single note expletives, woodpeckers make very few vocalizations. Instead, they produce distinctive sounds by rapidly tapping their beaks against trees, a behaviour called “drumming.”

Drumming is the woodpecker equivalent of song, and serves the same functions as that vocalization: attracting mates and defining territory boundaries. In most species, both sexes drum so duets can be heard on occasion.

Local supporters win RVH Masters draw RENFREW VICTORIA HOSPITAL FOUNDATION

Looking back at its humble beginnings and the prestigious event it has evolved into, organizers of the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Foundation (RVHF) Golf Classic wanted to do something special to celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2018.

The committee’s idea, a lottery draw for Masters tickets, was met with great enthusiasm locally and from afar. Tickets were purchased all across Ontario from Timmins to Toronto, and many states — Ohio, Connecticut and even as far as California — but the winning tickets all belonged to local residents.

The draw took place at RVH with the winning tickets pulled by Peter Payton representing the Golf Classic committee, and read by Carter Jarrett, junior club champion of Renfrew Golf Club, which is a major sponsor of the annual tournament.

Golf Classic committee chair Patrick Caen was on hand to call Mike Asselin and inform him his ticket had been drawn for the grand prize.

He and his wife Barb are off to Augusta, Georgia, in April to watch the final rounds first hand.

“This is unbelievable, we’re really

looking forward to it,” said Asselin, who purchased his winning ticket just days before the draw.

The cash prize winners were Rory McKay, $2,500, Ray Vidler, $2,000 and Robert Tytler, $1,000.

As a not-for-profit organization, the RVH Foundation had the opportunity to purchase the tickets that are otherwise only available by lottery.

The draw has been really well received and there have already been inquiries about doing it again next year, notes Barb Desilets, RVH Foundation executive director.

“As we reached out to thank members of the community, they told us it was such an exciting opportunity, and that they felt good supporting such a great event for the hospital,” notes Desilets.

Along with the current golf committee members, we want to thank the original tournament organizers who jumped on board and really helped promote the event says Desilets.

Current Golf Classic committee members include chair Patrick Cayen, Steve Radke, Barb Desilets, Doug Ewart, Faye Warren, Peter Payton and Andrew Wagner.

Jim Lemenchick, RVH Foundation chair, shared his gratitude to both the

committee and the community.

“As one of the original committee members I am so proud of everyone who has been part of making the tournament a success.

“I include the organizers, sponsors, RVH staff and, of course, the participants who assured the tournament was a success in each and every year.

“The proceeds have grown every year and it’s now one of the signature events of the foundation.

“I was excited to be present for the Masters tickets draw. What a great way to celebrate the lead up to our 20th edition of the Golf Classic.

“Thanks to everyone involved in this special event to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Classic Golf Tournament.”

Adding to the excitement was the support of Ray Vidler from Renfrew Metro in the form of a premium sponsorship of $1,000. Earlier this year Ray’s staff also directed funds in his honour from a Christmas fundraiser to RVH. Anticipation is building with plans for the RVHF 20th Golf Classic event well underway June 8 at the Renfrew Golf Club, stay tuned for registration details and don’t miss this event as its always a sell out.

In Memory of Wayne Forrest

We are sad without our memory, Lonely are the hearts today, For the one we loved so dearly, Has foever been called away.

We think of her in silence, No eye may see us weep, But many silent tears are shed, When others are asleep.

LOST & FOUND

30 years have come and gone, And we still miss you so very much In our home there is a photo, Of a face more precious than gold And to those who loved and lost you, Your memory will never grow old.

Today we look at your photo, At your face so loving and true No wonder our hearts are breaking Chris, Losing a son like you.

But each day you walk beside us, And when our life is through, We pray that God will take our hand, And lead us straight to you.

– Love always and forever, Mom, Donna, Jim and Families

I miss you so much!

Rest in Peace My Love.

Chris

Your life was love and labour, Your love for family true, You did the best for all of us, We will always remember you.

We sat beside your bedside, Our hearts were crushed and sore, We did our duty to the end, Till we could do no more.

In tears we watched you sinking, We watched you fade away, And though our hearts were breaking, We knew you would not stay.

In Memory of Helen Scheels February 22, 2016 For all you meant to us in life And all the joy you brought, Your memory is still with us In every single thought.

The pain we felt at losing you Will never ever go away, But knowing you are in our hearts Helps us get through each day.

When you were here we always felt That nothing could go wrong, You are still our inspiration And your memory keeps us strong.

Our lips cannot speak how we loved you, Our hearts cannot tell what to say, But God only knows how we miss you, In our home that is lonely today.

And though our hearts remain heavy They are also so full of love, And that is enough to comfort us While you are in Heaven above.

Miss you and Love You Grace, Wendy and Don George and Brenda Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren

Always in our hearts and in our thoughts, Glenn, Maureen, Krystin, Lynn and Dan

22 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, February 22, 2018

The Renfrew Curling club was decked out in red hearts as organizer Shelley Jamieson welcomed 14 teams to the annual Sweetheart Spiel and many colourful outfits added to the colourful explosion.

The fun curling was matched with great food to ensure a wonderful day for all involved.

Taking home the trophy was the team of Rob and Faye Warren, Laurie Millar and Anne MacNeil.

Prizes for best costumes were awarded to creative Sue and Larry Beaton, sexy Marie Edwards and Charlie Jamieson and highly co-ordinated Rob Warren and his weekend sweethearts.

Low Cup action came home to Renfrew and the local lads faced Deep River.

The lead has built up enough that it is now safe to let me make my annual appearance.

CCHL2 playoffs could come down to sudden death game TIFFANY LEPACK

tlepack@metroland.com

The playoff race is on in the Central Canada Tier 2 Hockey League (CCHL2) Richardson division between both local teams.

The top five teams make it to the next round and the Whitewater Kings, in their first season of the league are currently in the final spot with 52 points.

But the Renfrew Timberwolves, who continue to play strong after a devastating first half of the season, are challenging and are right in there with 49 points.

Both teams have four games remaining to decided that final playoff spot.

League commissioner Kevin

Abrams is excited for the final games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is all still up in the air. Make sure you get everyone out to cheer on your team,â&#x20AC;? said Abrams on Feb. 16. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they are tied at the end of the season there is a one-game sudden death playoff spot, which would be unbelievable.â&#x20AC;?

On Feb. 16 the Wolves host the Carleton Place Jr. (currently in first place of the Richardson division) team at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre (MAC) at 8 p.m. and on Feb. 19 they welcome Winchester to town at 3 p.m. (both games after the press deadline).

On Friday, Feb. 23 the Arnprior Packers play at MAC and the final game of the season, at home, is on Feb. 24 against Casselman (first in

the Martin Division).

The Whitewater Kings head to Perth (in fifth place with 55 points) on Feb. 16 at 7:30 p.m. and are in Cobden on Feb. 17 at 7 p.m. against Carleton Place.

And on Feb. 19 they play the Ottawa West Golden Knights (second in the Martin Division) on the road at 7:15 p.m. (all after press deadline).

The final game of the regular season is versus the Alexandria Glens on Friday, Feb. 23 in Glengarry at 8 p.m.

On Feb. 15 the Renfrew Timberwolves kept their playoff hopes alive with a huge 6-5 shoot out win over the Golden Knights at home.

On Feb. 13 they fell to Perth 4-2 and again to Carleton Place -3 on Feb. 11.

sures the confidentiality of all information collected.

No individual responses or identifiable information will be shared with the County of Renfrew Economic Development Division.

Opportunity opens for entrepreneurs Renfrew County Community Futures Development Corporation (RCCFDC) is issuing a regional call for applications for RC100, an opportunity for entrepreneurs to compete for an early-stage acceleration capital investment of up to $100,000.

The focus of the competition is to attract precommercial startup businesses developing innovative products and services that will grow and ultimately create jobs in Renfrew County.

“We are excited to be hosting this competition to showcase the opportunities available to entrepreneurs locating in Renfrew County. Renfrew County offers a diverse, affordable lifestyle and skilled labour force within an hour’s drive from the City of Ottawa” said Diane McKinnon, Executive Director, RCCFDC. RC100 is modelled after the N100 competition that has been delivered successfully since 2013 by the Northumberland CFDC. “The competition was designed to transform raw ideas into investment ready opportunities” said Wendy Curtis, Executive Director, Northumberland CFDC. The competition will consist of three rounds (The Pitch Contest, Business Plan and Negotiation). Entrepreneurs will compete for $100,000 to support key milestones in the development of their company.

The Pitch Contest will be presented to the RC100 Power Panel which will include Kirk Dobbs (Co-founder Exotemp Ltd., Inventor, Entrepreneur and Angel Investor), Ryan McCartney (member of the BDC Communitech Team), Stephane Levesque (President and co-owner of SRB Technologies (Canada) Inc) and John Hayden (Manager of N1M and N100 at Northumberland CFDC).

The deadline for the RC100 competition applications through the online platform “Reviewr” is April 30 at 11:59 p.m. The first round “The Pitch Contest” will be held on June 19 before a live audience.
