Dandy day in Douglas
The Douglas St. Patrick’s parade welcomed 163 floats, walkers and hoofers to the village on March. 11. Organizer Billy McHale said it went quite well and more quickly than they thought. He said they couldn’t do it with out the support of the Ontario Provincial Police, the fire department and the approximately 3 to 5,000 people who lined the parade route. Two long-standing Douglas volunteers were honoured before the parade started. The committee receives nominations and then they narrow it down. The parade marshal was Evelyn McHale, pictured far right, without who, Billy says, there would be no St. Patrick’s Day in Douglas. Dave McIntyre, sitting in car with wife Helen, represented St. Patrick for his countless volunteer hours. However, he was in the hospital until March 10, so his son Andrew, far left, wore the hat.

BECOME A FOSTER PARENT
Being a foster parent isn’t for everyone. It can be a challenging role at times and it also takes time to go through the approval process. But if you want to make a difference in the lives of deserving children, there’s no better way to get involved. The benefits of helping children in need speak for themselves. Our greatest need is for homes that can provide care to teenagers and sibling groups. If you really want to help kids, then contact us today to learn more about fostering.

It’s been an institution in downtown Renfrew for 125 years. But, sadly, Fraser’s Clothes Shops is set to close either by the end of March or when they are out of inventory. The announcement was made via Facebook by their Pembroke store, (which is also closing), on March 7, and going out of business signs were seen the same day at the Renfrew location at 254 Raglan St. S. Store manager Doug Collins, who had been at the store for 27 years after his father Jack Collins worked there for 47 years, is no longer with the company. His last day was March 3. No one from the Renfrew store would comment on the closure and referred inquires to the Pembroke location. No one from that location has yet commented. The closure was immediately felt in the downtown core as Scott & Sons Hardware Ltd. posted a heartfelt message on its Facebook page. “(On March 7) in downtown Renfrew we lost another great store, one that has been the building block of the main street for a hundred plus years. It’s a very sad day for the downtown core. We need to keep the main street strong and a fun place to shop, but as the saying goes ... use it or lose it,� the post stated. “Not only shopping but for many activities, keep the downtown core bustling and we will all feel better for it. A huge thanks

Fraser’s Clothes Shop in downtown Renfrew is going out of business. goes out to Fraser’s Clothes Shops for all they have done to make Renfrew a better place.� Bonnechere Bakery and Bistro Fine Food Emporium co-owners, and twin sisters, Maureen Hicks and Marie Schruder have their business beside Fraser’s. “As their neighbours, they will sadly be missed by us,� said Schruder. “What really connects with my sister and I is how they
started the business and passed it from one generation to the next and now they were here for 125 years.� Alex Fraser opened a general store in Renfrew in 1891. After a fire a new store opened at its current location in 1952, it expanded to 5,000 square feet. In 1974 it expanded again to 8,000 feet. Last year the store made a number of upgrades including new floors and new lights.

Town of Renfrew cancels recycling tender amidst controversy TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com
After more than 30 minutes of in-camera discussion to seek a legal opinion, Town of Renfrew council cancelled its recycling tender on March 7. There was a motion in the council package to award the tender to Canadian Waste Management Inc. (CWM) for $187,572 (per year) as the lowest bidder.The next closest bidder was Beaumen Waste Management (BWM), the current provider, for $279,341 (per year). The Renfrew-based company also had more than two-dozen employees in the council chambers and a number of trucks parked outside town hall. “We had a strong presence because we are a local company in the community and obviously tonight it’s about jobs in the local community. It really is, if they move the tenders out that means jobs are out of Renfrew,” said Andrew Shouldice, president of BWM. “It was what I had expected - it’s a very complex process and it was being rushed so I think the council took the right approach and they are going to back up and do their homework. These tenders are very complicated and they are going to take the time they need to get it right.” Shouldice said after the meeting that awarding the tender to another company would result in a minimum of two layoffs and a maximum of five. He noted the 70,000-square-foot plant on Lisgar Avenue employs 49 people, and processes a million pounds a month. He said it is also good news that they have reinvested
$2 million in the plant and currently process material from Nova Scotia to Edmonton and are in negotiations with the City of Toronto. When council resumed in open session, Mike Asselin, director of development and works for the town, spoke to the motion. He explained the background of the current tender and said the town had entered into a joint tender process with Arnprior, McNab-Braeside and Horton. The tender documents were released for bidding on Jan. 31. There was a mandatory meeting with the contractors on Feb. 7 and the tenders closed and were opened on Feb. 21 at 10 a.m.“The bids were evaluated by staff and we find at this time that it is in the best interest of the municipality to not award the recycling tender,” said Asselin. “And that’s all we have to say tonight on the recycling contract.” Mayor Don Eady read the motion that Renfrew town council deems it in the best interest of the municipality to cancel the tender, which was carried by councillors Mike Coulas, Tom Sidney and Kate Windle (Reeve Peter Emon, Arlene Jamieson and Andrew Evans were absent). Matthew Dean, president and chief executive officer of CWM, came to the meeting expecting a positive outcome for his company. “(I’m) a little confused right now, we were low bidder, one of the recommendations to council in the letter that was drawn up was we have provided excellent service to (Renfrew) over the last five years (collecting municipal solid waste), so we would have thought being low bidder we would have had the opportunity to be awarded the contract,” said Dean.

The background report in the council package states: “The CWM bid contained an irregularity with respect to the Commercial Vehicle Operators registration (CVOR) rating which was assessed by staff. The CVOR rating required by the tender was ‘satisfactory or above.’ Further information received from CWM indicated their actual safety rating was ‘conditional,’ The rating was a result of findings of a 2013 audit which showed that improvement was required in documentation related to hours of work.” CWM received a rating of 31.96 and BWM was rated at 41.58 (15 would be considered excellent and 50 would trigger an interview with Ministry of Transportation.). “All I can tell you is we have a safety rating that is lower than anyone else in the area. We run around 31/32 per cent rating,” said Dean. “The other qualified bidder was running around 43-44 per cent rating so overall we are in much better position and rated company.” Shouldice had two issues he challenged of the tender process; the first was the safety issue and the second was the processing of plastic bags. “The tender document officially said you must have a satisfactory rating, which is the second level, CWM had the third level,” said Shouldice. “Ours was satisfactory, which was the standard set by the tender, but CWM was conditional, which was below the minimum standard of the tender.” As to the issue of the plastic bags it was also noted in the background report that the collection of plastic bags is included in the tender as a collectable material.

Water rates increase
RENFREW
TIFFANY LEPACK
IS THE PLACE TO BE FOR CANADA 150
tlepack@metroland.com
Renfrew treasurer Keray O’Reilly said there is some good news with the two per cent water increase and 4.5 per cent increase for wastewater. Council approved the water services capital expenditures budget of $803,020 and for wastewater the budget was approved at $1,636,340. “I think what it means is this council has a grip on what has to be done to provide long term sustainability to both the water and wastewater services,” said O’Reilly. “The water budget we have been able to bring in at a two per cent increase, a forecast that was talked about last year.” As to the good news on the wastewater side, as they were able to have a smaller increase than expected. “On the wastewater side of things it’s because we got more challenges there with regard to major projects and debts. We had to put the rates up six per cent - the forecast was initially to do five per cent this year,” said O’Reilly. “We are able to bring it in at 4.5 per cent and going forward it is looking more optimistic we will be able to build up our reserves over a period of time and be in really great shape at that point. Right now we seem to be able to predict the combination. The water rates are changing by 14 cents per cubic meter, which is roughly 3.1 per cent for 2017.” A single person who uses 10 cubic meters of water in a two-month billing period will see an annual difference of $23.82. On the high end of things, a family who may use 50 cubic meters of water bi-monthly will see a yearly increase of $57.42. Coun. Tom Sidney, who was the chair of the water task force, thought it was really good that they were staying within the limits they set last year. “We are actually doing better in the wastewater, we are right on target for the water rates,” said Sidney. “When you look at a family of four: they can do their laundry, their dishes, cook with it, wash with it, water their lawn,” said Sidney. “(The) increase is the same or less than a 24 of beer for an entire year.”
Beaumen raises issues Continued from page 3
The CWM tender stated they would send the bags to Ottawa Valley Waste Recovery Centre for processing and they do not process plastic bags. CWM then indicated in supplemental information that the bags would be diverted to Continental Paper Grading of Canada Limited for processing. “CWM is proposing to take the recycling to Pembroke a competing facility, which is fine, but that facility has a policy where plastic bags of bags is officially not allowed so that makes the processor for CWM not in compliance with the minimum standards of the tender so those two issues are the issues we brought up to the four councils to question if each bidder was compliant with the tender and this is what caused Renfrew to reconsider.”

Burnstown’s Neat Coffee Shop reopens March 19 with new owners TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com
How sweet it is, Neat is back! Burnstown’s Neat Coffee Shop is set to reopen this weekend, with three new co-owners who have been friends since they were kids. They have the energy, focus and determination to make the 19th century schoolhouse a successful concert venue again. The coffee shop, bakery and 94seat concert venue closed in October 2015 after eight years of bringing in well-known musical acts, after former owner Adam McKinty had some personal financial issues. In early 2015, Arnprior-raised Mark Enright moved into the house behind the Neat and was disappointed when it closed. “The concert hall is second to none, it’s an intimate little venue,” said Enright of watching a number of shows there before it closed. “It’s like artists coming into your living room.” Enright calls the reopening on March 19, set as a ‘soft’ opening, an adventure a year in the making. “We are definitely excited,” said Enright. “It’s definitely a journey. We are all high-tech guys and we didn’t have restaurant experience, but we love music.”

Scot Wilson, Mark Enright and Billy Virgin are the new co-owners of Burnstown’s Neat Coffee Shop. The Sunday night show will feature folk-rockers Slambovian Circus of Dreams and will include dinner and the show. They are working toward opening the café, bakery and restaurant in April. In the kitchen will be local cook Dawn Smith from White Lake who used to work at the Blackbird Café in
Burnstown. On March 25 is Joey Landreth, and April 7 they will welcome David Gogo for an acoustic solo performance. “If you are a music fan in general, your jaw will drop after the experience,” Enright promised. “It’s spine-tingling, it had that aura, it was just electric and we’ll pull that off.”
A week before the first show he knows there’s lots still to do but is staying positive. “We will make it the best experience and we will grow from there.” Team work His partners and friends Billy Virgin and Scot Wilson needed some convincing before joining. “Scot is an awesome cook and Bill
loves to fix things,” said Enright. “I started bugging Scot, you can cook and I can run the restaurant. I could never do it alone.” In the summer of 2016, Virgin got interested. In September they made their first big move. “Bill and I put an offer on the building, and the bank slapped us silly, we got beat up,” said Enright. They told Wilson what they were up to and he soon got involved. Things took another turn when another friend told them about the Business Development Canada program, and they set out to present their plans. “It makes sense. It helps businesses to start up or get more working capital,” said Enright. “They helped us finance the building and we got rolling … the rest is history.” That was mid-November. They closed at the end of January and set an ambitious opening for March 19. They didn’t have to do any major renovations but admit they had to do a ton of cleaning, and brought in equipment. The main concert hall was made of chip board, and they have put down pine floor from Gillies. Their masterpiece, where they will serve local craft beer, is the copper patinaed bar, which they spent over 500 hours working on. See SUPPORT, page 11

OPINION

Hydro overhaul needed Our hydro bills may be going down this summer, but don’t pop the bubbly just yet. While Ontario residents will see an average 25 per cent reduction on the bottom line, what they won’t see is what it’s going to cost future generations and the current structural inefficiencies and ongoing bad planning that make electricity expensive for us in the first place. Premier Kathleen Wynne announced the savings this month saying it was the fair thing to do. She heard from families struggling with their bills and struggling to understand why rates have skyrocketed. Unfortunately, because the history of hydro and its mismanagement is such a long and complicated one, politicians looking to distract would-be voters benefit from its current complexity. People don’t get it and don’t have the time, the comprehension or the willingness to figure it out. What they do get is how hard it is to pay a huge bill. So Wynne’s Liberals are waving a shiny 25 per cent hydro cut over here, while over there, our expensive hydro system continues to plod along. The lower bills come from refinancing the term of payment the province owes to private power providers — from 20 years to 30. So we’re deferring costs to future generations in order to get some immediate relief. And we’re incurring about $25 billion in extra interest charges over that time. Additional relief will be coming through low-income and rural subsidy programs, but that too comes at a cost of $2.5 billion over the next three years charged to Ontario’s treasury and taxpayers. As tempting as it is to celebrate lower bills, with an election year in 2018, we need to hold all parties to account to do more than float distractions. Ontario generates more power than it knows what to do with and we’re forced to sell it to our neighbours at a discounted rate. Sometimes we have to pay for them to take it. The sale of Hydro One has locked us into guaranteed contracts with private power providers whether we need that power or not. There’s little transparency as to the details of private contracts and that takes accountability right out of the system. We need a comprehensive plan and a system overhaul. Keep that in mind when you’re told to celebrate your June power bill. It’s not nearly enough.
Seniors program proud to mark March as Meals on Wheels month KARRY FORTIN Renfrew and Area Seniors Home Support
March is Meals on Wheels month and is celebrated by Meals on Wheels programs across North America. Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support is proud to be a part of Meals on Wheels and honoured to celebrate our volunteers and the success of our Frozen Meal program. As we age, eating well can be a challenge due to mobility issues, illness and lack of transportation, which can be contributing factors as to why we struggle to maintain a healthy diet. Studies, however, have shown proven benefits to eating well as we age, such as improvements to our mental alertness, energy levels and resistance to illness.

Studies have also identified several benefits to seniors who receive delivery of hot or frozen meals living alone, such as statistically significant reductions in feelings of isolation as seniors have said they felt significantly less lonely, were less worried about staying in their homes and they felt safer. Research has also found that those receiving meal delivery experienced fewer falls and hospitalizations.

It is the annual Fraud Prevention month-long campaign to prevent thousands of Canadians from falling victim to fraud. Fraud-related crimes take a destructive toll on victims while amassing millions of dollars to further criminal enterprises. Sadly, 95 per cent of fraud victims never report the crime to police. Regardless of age, gender and location, everyone can take basic steps to better protect themselves from becoming victims of fraud. Some basic tips include never giving out personal or financial information at the door, over the phone, by e-mail or through social media, or on to unsecured retail or dating websites.

wisdom of our seniors and we are grateful that students are able to experience these positive relationships,” says Armstrong. “We are proud of this wonderful partnership and hope to continue supporting RVH in the future,” adds Armstrong.
RVH ‘heartened’ by support from young members of our community Several years ago, Our Lady of Fatima (OLF) students in Mrs. Marion Kelly’s Grade 2 class decided to send hearts to RVH as a way to show medical personnel how much their service in our community means to students. Dr. Steven Radke, RVH Chief of Staff, visited OLF that first time to receive the hearts, which were displayed in the main hallway at RVH. Every year since, in the month of February, Our Lady of Fatima has sent hearts and a donation to RVH. Staff and students wanted to continue the tradition of giving back to RVH this year. OLF Principal Jeannie Armstrong says the ongoing support stems from a
wonderful existing partnership and the involvement of RVH employees, including parents of students new to the school, Shyla and Devan Deshpande—whose mother is Dr. Geena Joseph, RVH Nephrologist, and Bianca DeJesus—whose mother is Dr. Tara Avelino and father is Dr. Anthony DeJesus, both physicians at RVH. A Valentine’s dance was held by Bianca and Devan’s JK/SK classes with students donating $2 to attend. In addition, students in Grades 1–7 held a Valentine’s dance. These dances raised $300 for the I Choose RVH campaign. The school is proud of its connections to community partners and the close relationship with RVH that includes

The Renfrew Industrial Commission (RIC) is in some respects Renfrew’s best kept secret, according to executive director Dave Lemkay. Along with being a well-kept secret he admits there maybe some misunderstanding as to what they do. “The RIC as it operates in Renfrew and area is somewhat unique,” said Lemkay. “I’ve had people tell me this configuration is outstanding to make sure businesses thrive.” He stresses they are here to help industry and work together with local partners. The RIC has been in existence in someway or another since 1955. “It’s an old institution in town established by business and industrial leaders,” said Lemkay. “It has been rejuvenated.” Historically speaking Renfrew has always had industry and the RIC mandate is to sustain industry in town. “The industry base in Renfrew is a significant engine to the Town of Renfrew’s economy,” said Lemkay. “It has been multifaceted over the years but it continues to be significant.” Historical industry Looking back things started with McDougall’s grist and woollen mills and the many projects spurred on by the O’Brien family. During the First World War Renfrew was home to a munitions plant that handled every 60 lb mortar shell that went overseas. “Renfrew has this history of industry,” Lemkay emphasized. In the 1950s, companies such as RCA, Playtex and Polyfiber were on the landscape. And in the 1970s Acme Seeley arrived and that building on Barnett Boulevard became Scapa Interna-
tional. Around this time Deslauriers also arrived on the scene. The Lindsay family was instrumental in the agrifood business and with Hovey Industries. In 1980/82 Westinghouse Corp. built the now Innovation Centre and Mitel was also on the scene. “As time changes industry waxes and wanes,” said Lemkay. “Renfrew has a colourful industrial past that continues to thrive today in the mode we find it in now.” Lemkay goes back to the RIC mandate and explains it is twofold. “To sustain what we have and to work to attract new industry for more jobs and added tax base.” They currently have seven board members, who Lemkay says are volunteer directors in running the commission including: chairman Mack Wilson, vice-chair Neil Ritchie, secretary/ treasurer Barry Breen, Ron Brazeau, Ross Peever, Ken Dillabough. The RIC is a private corporation and was originally established within municipality. “I think it’s important for me to say the RIC is unbiased and runs in a totally audited manner as to how it responds to business needs.” In 1992 there was a deliberate change to reorganize as the Ministry of Economic and Development and Trade was set to come to town but plans changed. Due to the changes the ministry endowed $2.5 million to the town, with a stipulation that $500,000 went to stimulate industrial health. “The RIC was re-established to an arm’s length as a private corporation,” said Lemkay. “That was the genesis of the current operation of the RIC.” Over the years they have been able to help a number of local businesses. “We are absolutely proud of our track record to underpin various projects in fluctuations of again, wax and
waning over the decades,” said Lemkay. “We have been a safe port in a storm.” He recalls in 2009 when Deslauriers had a fire on New Year’s Eve Day and the RIC were able to locate and purchase a transformer that was needed for significant electrical upgrades. “It made the decision easier for them to stay in town, it was effective and efficient.” Over the years they have also run a microloan program to help merchants/industry to get through what he calls tough economic times. Innovation Centre The RIC manages the Innovation Centre located at 1 Innovation Dr. (bounded by O’Brien and Gibbon Roads), which built, by Westinghouse Corp in two phases in 1980 and 1982; it is now home to six tenants and managed by the RIC. The current tenants are: Ensyn, Raytheon, Marshalls Construction (the longest standing tenant), Deslaurier, Kember, BEI and Renfrew and Area Health Services Village. The building was originally built with 48-foot ceilings for heavy manufacturing; Lemkay says he does not know why Westinghouse Corp. left but Beloit took over in 1990s and the plant became vacant in approximately 2000. At the time there was an article in the Renfrew Mercury that the pressure in the water tower had decreased. “A water main had burst because of lack of heat and there was a foot of water in the building,” said Lemkay. “The building was rescued on a mission by partners of the RIC and the Town of Renfrew.” The town absorbed $868,920 in back taxes and the RIC put up $400,000.

The trio has been able to lean on friends and family who have more experience in some areas than they do. “We have lots of friends and family in the business, that has definitely helped,” said Enright. “Like any adventure, when your money is on the line it’s a little nerveracking.” But there is one key
helping their nerves: the three — Virgin from White Lake, Enright from Arnprior and Wilson from Crystal Beach — are lifelong friends. “It makes it less nerveracking because of the partners.” Going in, they had a certain idea for the atmosphere and focused their new motto around that. “Our motto is family, friends and fun. Family is more than just your im-
mediate family, it’s close friends, family is not just my kids, it’s this awesome group of friends,” explained Enright. “Our friends are anyone that comes here to enjoy a cup of coffee or dinner. When you bring family and friends together, you’re going to have a lot of fun.” Enright gives credit where credit is due, and praises what McKinty had done before.
“We made sure he would not be offended. We went to him and asked if we could steal his idea,” said Enright. “The second thing we asked, if he could help us get it back to where it was. Adam has been phenomenal with us.” Enright admits he could have never have done it because McKinty’s vision was impressive. It has been a little bittersweet for the former
owner. “He’s a little sad to see his baby go, but happy it’s going to be revived,” said Enright. McKinty is helping the three get off the ground with the bookings, and will be doing the sound for some of the shows. The Neat Coffee Shop is located at 1715 Calabogie Rd. in Burnstown.

“We created a one-third and twothird partnership with the town,” said Lemkay. “It was an agreement with the RIC and the town to undertake and repair the building to an operational state.” Lemkay took over in 2010 from general manager Norman Anderson. “The building slowly rose as a Phoenix out of the ashes,” said Lemkay. “In the course of time we were able to bring it to be a well run fine tuned building.” Apart from ongoing sporting events, the O’Brien Theatre and our downtown and O’Brien Road retail sections, Lemkay calls Renfrew unique in terms of not being a tourism destination. “We are on a crossroads between a number of major attractions in the region and I like the slogan Renfrew is open for business.” The RIC has purchased benches at O’Brien Park and bought the fountain and built and installed the large town welcome signs which he admits now need to be attended to. “We are here to be helpful in a partnered relationship any time someone asks,” said Lemkay. “The commission, I don’t think, has ever pushed back from a need that has arisen in town.” The RIC has also pledged to contribute $900,000 to the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village for doctor recruitment. He stresses they are here to be engaged and helpful to grow and sustain industry. “We are not the answer to everything,” said Lemkay. “We are here operating as best we can.” They are members of the Ottawa Valley Tourism Association, the Renfrew and Area Chamber of Commerce, the Renfrew County Ottawa Valley Economic Development and more local organizations. “We are committed to working with anyone and everyone for the betterment of the town and area,” said Lemkay. “That’s why I say we are the best kept secret and the door is always open.” For more: www.redc.ca.

Message from Queen’s Park
Monthly Column by MPP John Yakabuski
Monthly Column – March 2017 After feeling the pressure for months, if not years, Kathleen Wynne and the Liberal Government finally had to admit that their so-called Green Energy Act has amounted to a monumental financial disaster for Ontario ratepayers. Without admitting it, the Premier has proven that the Auditor General was right when she stated that Ontario electricity customers have paid $9.2 billion more for electricity than needed. (And that report only covered up until 2016.) With an election scheduled for June 2018, Kathleen Wynne knew she had to take significant steps to reduce people’s hydro bills across the province. On the surface, a 25 percent reduction on one’s bill is going to look pretty good. But as they say, the devil is always in the details. We have been calling for fundamental changes in energy policy for years because the only way to stop the prices from skyrocketing is to stop doing things the way they have been doing them. In that regard, the Liberals have made no change whatsoever. The reduction is basically a remortgaging of a bad deal; it is essentially overpaying for a house, not being able to make the payments, and going to the bank to re-negotiate the length of the mortgage. All of the energy contracts that were in place before the reduction will still be in place. In fact, they are continuing to sign new ones even as you read this. This will only result in continued upward pressure on rates. The Liberals are hoping that the 25 percent cut will result in a grateful response from the electorate. I, for one, am very happy to see this cut because relief was badly needed. But there is something people shouldn’t forget: while Kathleen Wynne is going to legislate a further 17 percent reduction (on top of the eight percent off from the HST rebate) it is the decisions of this Liberal Government that caused the rates to go up in the first place. Of all the money you have overpaid during the last several years for electricity, not one penny will be coming back. Even though the Liberals are to blame, the ratepayer still pays the bill. If I am to draw an analogy, it’s as if several years ago the Liberal Government took your car, and is now coming back baring a gift of a bicycle and expecting you to be grateful. Some of the costs being removed from electricity bills will be placed on the tax bill. Here is a breakdown of costs added to your tax bill: $1.0 billion per year to finance the removal of the provincial portion of the HST; $833 million per year to pay for a new suite of rebate programs. And added to the energy bill: $25 billion in total interest over 30 years to re-finance the debt.
- and Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change Environmental Approvals Branch 135 St. Clair Avenue West, 1st Floor, Toronto, ON M4V 1P5 - and Municipal Office 44 Main Street, Cobden, ON K0J 1K0 Mon-Fri: 8:30 am – 4:00 pm If there is no “request received by March 31, 2017,” the Township will proceed to carry out design and construction of the Cobden WWTP upgrades as presented in the planning documentation. Please note that ALL personal information included in a submission – such as name, address, telephone number, and property location – unless stated otherwise in the submission, will be collected and maintained by the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change, under the authority of the Environmental Assessment Act, for consultative purposes AND for the purpose of creating a public record and will be available to the general public.

Some things that could have been done, which the government chose not to do, that would have at least given an indication they were prepared to stop repeating the same mistakes are: to stop signing contracts for energy that we don’t need (at above-market prices); stop selling electricity at a massive loss to neighbouring jurisdictions; stop allowing water to pass over our hydroelectric dams without generating electricity while we pay excessive prices to developers of wind; and stop the further sale of shares of Hydro One. As I wrote earlier, with an election expected next June, I suspect that there will be additional attempts by this government to play more shell games and continue their sleight-of-hand tactics in order to try and dupe the people. I know the people are smarter than that.

Cobden qualifies for Kraft Hockeyville top 10, wins $25,000 TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com
Hockey is life in Renfrew County. And right now, Cobden is the centre of hockey excitement as they have qualified as one of the top 10 finalists for Kraft Hockeyville. Chris Pleau and the Ottawa Valley PeeWee Thunder submitted the nomi-

nation and were hopeful with the public’s help it would push them into the final round. The top two teams will win $100,000 and the winner will earn an NHL pre-season game. “We are stoked for sure and the girls are pumped. We are optimistic about our chances as there seems to be a groundswell of support right now.” Voting for the finalists took place
on March 12 and 13. The next round of voting is March 19 and 20. For making the finals they have already won $25,000 for improvements at the Astrolabe Arena in Cobden. “It’s pretty amazing what Kraft does for hockey and small towns,” said Pleau of the money they have already won. He knows that accessibility renovations need to be completed at the
rink by 2018 and this will help. He knows there are accessibility challenges for people when they come to the aging rink and if they win the grand prize they would use the money to change the main lobby so more people can enjoy the facility. “The renos need to happen regardless but this will speed up the process,” said Pleau. He says the $25,000 might

Just as the blackbirds were making their first appearances, birds from the north were also being seen. A few weeks ago, great grey owls began to appear through the Ottawa Valley. These magnificent owls only come down to our region when food up north is hard to find. Currently, another northerner is making an appearance. Bohemian waxwings, however, eat fruit — not small mammals. Bohemian waxwings, named in part for the red, wax-like projections adorning some of their wing feathers, are elegant birds that nest in the north. Most come from the northern parts of the Prairie provinces, some from as far as north-
ern Alberta. Waxwings are fruit eaters. Because they poop out seeds (in 20 minutes or less after swallowing a small fruit) they play important roles as seed dispersers. They seldom appear alone and travel in flocks that can contain a hundred or more individuals. Their lispy trills, which remind me of thin ice breaking up on lakeshores, will soon be a sound of winter past. March may or may not bring lambs and lions, but it certainly is a month for welcoming back familiar friends and saying farewell to visitors from far afield. The Nature email is mruntz@start.ca

OPEN HOUSE GUIDE Bromley Historical Society meets March 19 BROMLEY HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Do you have an emergency survival kit? According to the Emergency Management Plan, we should all have supplies stored in a box or bin – enough to survive for 72 hours without outside help. The Ontario government has put together a list of the kinds of things we should have in our survival kits. Why? Because most of us aren’t used to think-
ing about it. We have forgotten what goes into survival and about what hard work it can be. The Bromley Historical Society is pleased to invite the public to a presentation called How People Survived 800 Years Ago. Our speaker will be Skip Ross, Algonquin Elder of Pikwàkanagàn First Nation. Please join us Sunday, March 19 at 2 p.m. at the Barr Line Community Center (1766 Barr Line). Refreshments will follow the presentation. Everyone is welcome.

It's not too often that the Renfrew Curling Club brings home two championships, but to do it on the same day is certainly a rarity. The ladies were up first as they travelled to Pembroke for the last round of the Autumn Leaves and amid drama worthy of the Oscars, the championship trophy was first presented to Arnprior but there was stunned silence and even the Arnprior skip suggested there must be a mistake. Was it a wrong envelope or just plain subterfuge. No, it was an incorrectly filled in score sheet and glasses that were not worn when it was filled out, and soon the wrong was corrected and the trophy returned home to Renfrew, the home of the defending champs. (I hear Price-Waterhouse has an opening, Laurie) Entering the day the standings were close with Renfrew ahead of the pack. The team of Shelley Jamieson, Barb Roy, Theresa Mann and Marg Dawson played well but were on the wrong side of the inch as they dropped games to Arnprior. The team of Yvonne Sklepowicz, Laurie Millar, Anne MacNeil and Laura Hanson played well to be up two coming home in the eighth without hammer. With Killaloe sitting shot for one, Sklepowicz came up short on her last rock for a draw and Killaloe's skip drew for two to leave the game as a tie. And so it came down to the final game with Renfrew needing a win desperately. The ladies played well and won comfortably to take home the championship. Playing for the first year in the six-team Valley Super League against some of area's best curlers, the team of Brian Yolkowskie, Dave Eady, Andy Miller and Jim Berg defeated Deep River's Leo Buckley's squad when Dave Eady made a fantastic angle raise to sit the button and lead to a steal of the last end and claim their first championship. They had also led the league at 8-2 in regular season play. And also on the same day at the Friendly in Arnprior, the teams of Karl Mann, Joan Eaton, Kevin Box and Jack Ledger and Rob Warren, Rachel and Bernie Leclaire and Willard Kranch won their games while Bill Bowles, Jim Harbour, George Burton and Marie Edwards tied theirs and Leo McCallum's crew were friendly to their opposition. The winners of the Thursday afternoon mixed with four wins were Leo McCallum, Yvonne Sklepowicz, Kevin Box and Bill Vant-Haaff. Runners up were Don Rouble, Louise Jamieson, second was a spare from the bye team and Bud Lance.

32 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, March 16, 2017
Bartering was another tool for surviving the lean Depression years “I don’t know what I would do without Bertha Thom,” Mother said for the umpteenth time. We would hear her say that at least three times a day. Aunt Bertha, as we children called her, was no relation; but according to Mother, she had saved her life when she moved from the big city of New York to the backwoods of Renfrew County. It was Aunt Bertha who taught Mother to quilt, make pickles and a host of other trades to make life livable on a farm with no amenities. And it was Aunt Bertha who came to Mother’s rescue again, and it had to do with bartering, where we could trade things like butter, eggs or chickens for sugar or flour. But, Mother learned the hard way that bartering had its limitations. She tried to make a deal with Mr. Briscoe at Briscoe’s General Store, and she found out he wasn’t interested in eggs, butter or chickens. He told her the people of Northcote were his customers, and they had their own eggs, butter and chickens. And it was Aunt Bertha who then told Mother the only place to sell — not barter — her wares were to the people of Renfrew. Door-to-door. And so, like just about every other farm wife in Northcote, peddling became a Saturday ritual, and the money raised was called “egg money.” Although it wasn’t only egg money that went into the little blue sugar bowl in the kitchen cupboard. But Mother still felt she could barter if she put her mind to it, and soon she was trading
butter and eggs for flour at the grist mill. She then figured if she could come up with something no one else had to offer, there would be no end to what she could get in a trade. MARY COOK Something homemade. And she decided she would master the fine art of making buns. Not just any buns. Special buns no one else would take the time to make. She got out her Boston Cook Book (one of her precious possessions brought from New York), and night after night, she poured over the pages to see what she could make — and there she found the recipe for Chelsea buns. She wisely thought that was too fancy a name for buns off a farm in Northcote, so she called them sticky buns. It took many batches before the buns were to her liking … in fact, the first few times she made them, they were like bullets. But finally, the sticky buns were ready for Renfrew. Her first stop was at Ritza’s Rexall drugstore. Of course, fresh out of the oven, who could resist the smell of freshly baked buns? Mr. Ritza was delighted to take as a trade a batch of stillwarm sticky buns for cough medicine, a bag of Epsom salts, and our very first can of tooth powder. It didn’t take long for Mother’s reputation to grow, and the demand for her sticky buns had her trading buns for a trip to the dentist, an eye test for my sister Audrey, and a hair cut for herself at Descharmes Beauty Parlour.
Mary Cook’s Memories
Soon it was my sister Audrey and me who had to get the eggs washed, the chickens trussed up, and the butter wrapped in pounds on a Friday night, while Mother made batch after batch of sticky buns to meet the demand in Renfrew the next day. The news spread fast, and it came as no surprise that Mr. Briscoe of Briscoe’s General Store told Mother on one of her trips to Northcote that he would be glad to try to sell some of her sticky buns for her. Well, Mother remembered the not-so-long-ago day when he told her he didn’t want her chickens, eggs or butter — and she told him she would be glad to bring in some
of her sticky buns, but she would only do so if he traded the buns for a bag of sugar. Bartering became a way of life. It was just another way to survive those lean Depression years when there was little or no money, and so, there had to be other ways of putting food on the table and clothes on our backs. Bartering was the answer. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Defensive signals focus of bridge talk LEWIS MACDONALD Renfrew Duplicate Bridge Club
Ten plus tables competed for top honours at Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre March 8. The only successful slams of the afternoon all occurred on Board 8. Phillippa Baran and Nancy Cavanagh brought home a seven no trump grand slam contract. Ed McCann and Lew MacDonald did the same. On the same board, Sue Phillips and Steve Gray made a small slam. Kudos to the three pairs. In the Chalk Talk preceding start of regular play, Wayne Daze reviewed defensive signals. Players were reminded that signals can be interpreted with high frequency from the bidding, from the cards visible in the dummy and from the cards held in your hand.
Wayne himself favours an Upside Down Count and Attitude system where a relatively low card encourages the continuation of a suit being led and a relatively high card discourages the continuation of the suit. Wayne also reminded players of the valuable acronym BOSTON when deciding on a lead: Bottom Of Something or Top Of Nothing. Congratulations to the March 8 winners: North – South 1. Ernie Berndt and Eric Brown (67.92%) 2. Bev Kobus and Ian Scott 3. Ruth Grant and Mary McCann East – West 1. Leanne Cheliak and Rick Duncan 2. Ted Ambridge and Mike Nagrodski 3. Gwen Latendresse and Diane Gilman
