News - Renfrew’s application for provincial funding to pay for costly repairs of Highway 132, within the town’s limits, has been given the stamp of approval by the Province of Ontario.

The town learned it will receive $1,987,889.33 through the Small, Rural and Northern Municipal Infrastructure Fund (SRNMIF), Capital Program.

“The money will cover 90 per cent of the costs required for the desperately-needed connecting link road rehabilitation project,” said a news release from town hall.

“Council and staff had identified the reconstruction of the portion of Highway 132, through Renfrew as a priority road project,” said acting mayor Clint McWhirter.

“We were one of hundreds of municipalities to seek funding for important capital works through the SRNMIF program. We are absolutely thrilled that we have been chosen and will receive the funds to ensure that the necessary work for this section of Highway 132 will move forward as required, he said.

The town press release noted: • The town has identified works required on this Connecting Link for many years. Emergency services, local busing and transit agencies supported the need for the project.

• The project will be designed in 2014 and will proceed to full construction in the spring of 2015. The town intends to correct any underground deficiencies over the summer of 2014.

• The funding is part of the Ontario Government’s Municipal Infrastructure Strategy, which will allocate $100 million to support infrastructure improvement projects to municipalities across the province. These essential provincial funds enable the Town to bring this critical infrastructure up to a safe and acceptable standard.

This work involved creating a safe, dry work area for the construction workers through closing off a part of the river with a coffer dam, metal caisson and wooden crib structures It has been important to get this work completed and the temporary structures out of the river to return the full dam to service in time for the spring high waters.

These activities were completed March 7.

With completion of the work on the upper dam and intake structure, attention will be focused on completing work on the intake canal in March. This will allow the upper plant to return to service as the spring waters arrive.

Councillor Miller wants to be town mayor Water rates centre Steve Newman

steve.newman@metroland.com

News - After several decades of work experience, including the Canadian Navy, company audits, dentistry and occupational safety training, Jim Miller wants to be the mayor of

Renfrew.

After one term on council, he’s pursuing the top job. So are past candidate Callum Scott and Coun.

Tom Anderson.

Miller, 71, is a recovered alcoholic, who beat the bottle for good in 1981. He has been a backup preacher

for a local church. He continues his comedy act of Willy and Jim that years ago took him and his knee pal across North America. He and his wife ran an Ottawa ministry in the 1980s for homeless youth.

And the organist for the local Order of the Eastern Star plays many musical instruments.

He also has a wide variety of business experiences, including his current self-employed businesses of MEQA (Miller Engineering Quality Assurance) and MEQA Work Safe Ontario.

And he was the founding member of Renfrew’s National Hockey Association/National Hockey League Birthplace Museum in 2012.

Miller grew up in nearby Carp, but came to Renfrew as a teenager.

Foster parents in Renfrew looked after him, after his mother died and his dad became seriously ill. Thirteen years ago, he and wife Sandra moved to Renfrew for good.

So why would Miller be a good mayor for Renfrew? “The reason is because Jim Miller is willing to work with people, to their advantage and to the town’s advantage, and move this town forward,� he says.

Though hesitant to criticize current council, he says he’s frustrated with council’s lack of accomplishments. Also, he says a less hierarchical system would im-

prove decision-making.

He’d like to promote a decision-making process that includes council members, senior management, other town employees and the public (with the help of semi-annual town hall meetings).

His own business successes would help the town achieve more economic development, he says. “Companies with budgets several times greater than Renfrew’s annual budget hire me to help set goals and re-engineer or re-organize their management to achieve those goals,� says Miller.

Improved economic development, he says, would help Renfrew can gain better control of its taxes.

News - Local businessman and landlord Norm Bujold addressed Renfrew council March 10 to discuss the town’s increasing water rates.

Bujold circulated copies of the forecast presented in 2006. “The total rate forecast for 2015 is $3.03 per cubic metre from $1.47, an increase of over 100 per cent for that 10-year period,� Bujold said. “I have with me, a typical water bill for 2013.

Does it read $2.84 per cubic metre as forecasted?

No. It reads $3.81 per cubic metre, 27 per cent higher than the forecast

Spring

for 2015.

Bujold added that council would be reviewing a presentation intended to justify raising Renfrew’s water rates once again. “You will hear arguments as to why we must accept such a large increase. You will hear that because of such hefty water bills, people have learned to conserve, thus not meeting expected revenue,� Bujold said. “We will once again be told that after Walkerton, things have changed and that the provincial government has legislated that we must have large reserves on hand for possible hazards.�

Heritage buff loves role as the new town historian Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

After decades at the helm, Marjorie Lindsay has left her role as town historian in the hands of another history buff.

“I’m very pleased and very honoured that Olga Lewis is our new historian,” says Renfrew Reeve Audrey Green.

In January, town council approved the appointment of the Renfrew resident, who was recently awarded a life membership with Heritage Renfrew.

“Marj Lindsay has been the historian for many, many years, and has done a terrific job,” added Green.

“And it’s with her approval and agreeance that we are now appointing Olga. We certainly have not made a mistake, because Olga is a walking encyclopedia for the history of Renfrew and surrounding area.”

Lewis says she was quite surprised by the appointment. “It was unexpected,” she says.

However, the focus of her recent historical research hasn’t changed.

She continues working, as she has for about two years, on expanding less substantial histories about the main street, aka Raglan Street.

Her draft document says the only two histories written of the town were in 1919 and 1983, although the 1919 version had updates in the 1920s.

Those histories, says the draft copy, touched only lightly on the town people, and even then mainly on those involved with setting up town council and a few industrialists.

With the help of the Land Records of Ontario, business directories and Renfrew Mercury stories and obituaries, Lewis is striving to update that history by saying much more about activities, business transactions, owners, workers and other residents.

But first, here’s some history about the new historian.

Now 83, Lewis was born in Toronto, one of six children of Jack Pelky and Edith Heslop.

The family later established new roots with a move in 1940 to Renfrew, where her dad took a job as loom fixer at O’Brien Mills. He later worked for Renfrew Textiles.

Olga and husband Cecil, who died in 2000, went on to raise five of their own children. One child died of viral pneumonia at three months. Her daughters live in Renfrew and Haley Station, her sons in Pembroke and Zurich, Ont. As a youngster, Lewis was already enamoured by history.

“It was one of my better subjects, and I’ve always had an interest in finding out more about places and people,” she says. “The more I learn, the more I want to learn.”

As the oldest child, and in keeping with tradition in a family with Polish roots, she began working to provide additional income for the family.

Her five siblings all graduated from Renfrew Collegiate Institute, while Lewis only received a Grade 8 education.

“It was something you sort of accepted,” says Lewis, whose first job was as a ward maid at the hospital.

She was kept busy over the years with various jobs, including weaver and working in the hardware department of Stedman’s on the main street.

RETIREMENT

STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND

Olga Lewis, the new historian for the Town of Renfrew.

She didn’t have the same opportunities as her younger siblings, though.

By 1994, when she retired, she reignited her fascination with history. She joined Heritage Renfrew that year and three years later began writing The Old Files column for The Renfrew Mercury. Harry Hinchley was the previous author of the column, which Lewis continued to write until late last year. Research done for that column has also contributed to her current project on the main street.

Lewis says the main street wasn’t always Main Street, but Second Line in Horton Township in the mid 1800s, and Raglan Street before the 20th century.

Although she was just named the

town’s new historian, she says she has been working on the main street project for a couple of years.

But it’s good she has a head start, she suggests. “This is a big project.

It’s going to take the better part of this year and next year.”

She’s not being paid for the work, but Lewis says that’s just fine “because I like to be kept busy and I’m doing something I really like.”

She continues to battle arthritis in her back, which makes it more difficult to get out and about, even with a walker or her cane.

However, she gladly spends hours on the keyboard.

“I can sit at the computer all day,” she says. “While I’m working I don’t feel the pain.”

Writing the main street’s history, she says, represents an opportunity to acquaint people with how part of Renfrew evolved over the years.

“It’s part of the history of the town,” she says of a history she has watched evolve for some time.

“I’ve lived here since September 1940 and there’s been an awful pile of changes on the main street.”

To help document many of those changes, Lewis welcomes contributions from the public, especially the loan of photos that will be scanned and returned.

The town historian can be reached at 613-432-6958.

The Admaston-Bromley Township portion of the historic Opeongo Road, leading into Renfrew, will undergo major roadwork this summer.

Opeongo Road contract awarded to Fulton’s Lucy Hass lucy.hass@metroland.com

Opeongo Road will be the focus of road improvements in Admaston-Bromley Township this spring.

Township council held a special meeting Wednesday morning, March 12, to approve the tender for the work.

The tender was awarded to the lowest bid, by Fulton’s Construction, but not without extensive discussion about the township’s commitment to provisional work that may or may not be required, depending upon what may be discovered when the road is dug up.

Council unanimously accepted the tendered price of

$195,367.80 (excluding provisional items and HST) for the Opeongo Road reconstruction project.

The timeline for the work calls for culvert installation beginning May 19, ditching and rock excavation May 26, pulverizing and granular application June 2, and surface treatment starting June 9.

Minister urges all-party support for four-laning John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

News – Ontario Minister of Transportation Glen Murray agrees Hwy. 17 should be twinned farther but says progress is being hindered by lack of support from the provincial opposition parties and the federal government. “It’s a huge priority,� said Murray who got a first-hand look at work on the four-laning as his Arnprior and County of Renfrew hosts took him on a March 13 tour along Hwy. 17 from Arnprior to the Calabogie turn-off.

Murray maintained the twinning “is a priority for us (government)� and in fact “should have been done 20 years ago.� However, unless the people of the Ottawa Valley get their representatives to persuade their parties to support the project “it could be 50 years before we see the high-

way twinning,� he said.

Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack and county director of public works and engineering David Darch presented Murray with the recently completed ‘Business Case for the Accelerated Extension of Highway 17’ report.

Stack said there is a pressing need to advance the widening from both safety and economic prosperity points of view.

Four-laning to Scheel Drive is scheduled to be completed next year, but the next phase is in limbo. The county urged Murray to support putting the four-laning to Renfrew in the ministry’s five-year plan.

Darch said it’s important to the area’s tourism and economic development to have the four-lanes link up with highways to Algonquin Park and Quebec.

Murray was non-committal on the five-year plan request, pointing out that such funding

needs support from the Opposition Conservative and NDP parties. So far, it appears those parties have other priorities rather than “making investments� into infrastructure, he said. He urged Renfrew County residents to lobby RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski to support the funding instead of cutting back such allocations.

He also said people in the riding should urge their MP Cheryl Gallant to work on her government to “get serious� on funding projects such as the Hwy. 17 twinning. The needs are much greater than what the federal gas tax can fund, he added. “We have to get that highway twinned to Renfrew, and then we have to get it twinned beyond that,� he said. He suggested all MPPs should be lobbied to commit two per cent of the gross domestic product budget to infrastructure.

Old milk barn home to young Whitewater Brewing Company Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Three rafting and kayaking guides at nearby Wilderness Tours are also the founders and major investors behind something decidedly unique to Renfrew County – a craft (or micro) brewery.

“The Ottawa Valley is fiercely proud of anything that’s local, and they want to support whatever’s local, whether it’s your soap maker, jam maker, or beef farmer,” says Chris M. Thompson, co-owner of the Whitewater Brewing Company. “For us to be able to add into that, that’s important to us.”

Their impact on the community is also going to be a lot stronger being located within the county, than somewhere else,” adds the 38-year-old Thompson, whom many local residents may know as the stepson of former Storyland owner John Berkhout.

The other owners are 27year-old Christopher Thompson (no relation) and James Innes, 34. All three work summers as kayaking and rafting guides, which means holidays are anything but, as they juggle two jobs.

Their friendship was the

driving factor behind the company.

“It was friendship, pure and simple,” says Chris. “We could have done anything together. It was just a matter of finding something we really wanted to do, and at the time (in 2009) we were enjoying some craft beer.”

More conversation led to more developments, notably Christopher’s 2011 attendance at England’s Brewlab to become a certified brewer, James’s home-brewing experiments, and Chris’s time in Australia and New Zealand volunteering in breweries and shadowing brewmasters.

“When we saw the craft industry start to take off in Ontario, we thought the Ottawa Valley needs a brewery,” said Christopher.

Extensive taste-testing of their own beer followed, particularly from the autumn of 2012 until the spring of 2013.

What evolved, outside of seasonal creations, are their four staple products: Farmer’s Daughter (a blonde ale), Whistling Paddler (an English-style ale), Class V (an India pale ale) and Midnight Stout (an oatmeal milk stout).

They may also try berry and maple varieties this summer and fall respectively, while a

new expresso IPA is coming out in March.

“We want a product mix that caters to a wide range of

people,” says Chris.

The product can be found from Arnprior to Deep River, in such Renfrew County es-

tablishments as Rocky Mountain House, Santa Fe and Coco Jarry’s in Renfrew, the Wilno Tavern, Frisco’s in Eganville, and Neat Café in Burnstown.

Wherever they sell their beer, it’s free delivery.

“Like the milk man,” says Chris. “Right to your doorstep.”

To which he adds: “We’re going to be able to help out in terms of employment, but also by bringing people to the area, just to visit. Every day someone drives up an hour or an hour and a half to see this place.”

A regular stream of visitors is also helping spread the word about the local beer.

Visitors are tasting the company’s four staple products and seasonal brands, which are growing in popularity with the beer now available at about two dozen establishments, including a few in Ottawa.

With their June 2013 kickoff, the owners were making about 150 litres of beer per week.

Three expansions later, they’re at 1,600 litres weekly.

“We certainly have more to come,” says Thompson of the completely self-funded operation.

Inaugural Ontario Wood Award goes to Ottawa Valley Wood County of Renfrew

This year’s recipient of the Ontario Wood Award is Ottawa Valley Wood, a County of Renfrew initiative designed to make it easier to make local wood product purchasing decisions.

The aim of the project was to maximize and create new marketing opportunities for many local timber and lumber industries and to raise the profile of sustainable forest management within the Ottawa Valley.

OttawaValleyWood.com highlights manufacturers from the Ottawa Valley, including local mills, producers, artisans and business that produce local products and is a great example of how local initiatives are important in building a community and supporting the local forestry sector. “This industry recognition is important as it shows the reach and influence of the County of Renfrew forest industry,� said Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon. “This award recognizes the impor-

tance of the information and cooperation we receive from the industry and the efforts of our staff to meld that information into useful and important policy and industry leading practices. The forest industry is alive and thriving because of their willingness to work hard, think and innovate their way through challenges and to partner from forest floor to consumers in a world-wide market.�

County of Renfrew forester Lacey

Rose, who accepted the award on behalf of Ottawa Valley Wood, was happy to see the initiative recognized. “We’re very proud of the county’s efforts to promote the wood businesses across the Ottawa Valley,� she said. “We accept this award on behalf of the local forest industry that work supplies us with sustainably managed wood products that we all use in our day-to-day lives.�

The Ontario Wood brand was introduced as an Ontario government initiative.

The Ontario Wood logo identifies that products are made from wood grown, harvested and processed right here in Ontario.

More than 75 per cent of the wood used in an Ontario Wood product is

from trees harvested from sustainably managed forests in Ontario, with up to 25 per cent from the rest of Canada. All wood in Ontario must come from tree species that are indigenous or are commercially grown in Ontario. All processing associated with manufacturing of products must take place in facilities in Ontario.

“We started very small, and we have a solid business plan that calls for sustained gradual growth.�

Admittedly, they didn’t know how well their beer would be received in the Ottawa Valley. But so far the response has been a thumbsup.

Long hours are part of the working formula, which sounds familiar for anyone who has started a new business. But they also insert flexibility and humour into the equation.

In the brew room, for example, white boards cover the walls, with equations, checklists and a Homer Simpson quote that reads: “Alright, brain. I don’t like you and you don’t like me, so let’s just do this and I’ll get back to killing you with beer.�

With a modest marketing campaign, the trio hopes to gradually increase staff size, starting with one or two people to help with brewing and other tasks, such as deliveries and development of their own pub.

They hope to open the pub, in the former milk barn of about 3,500 square feet, as early as this summer, if their lease is renegotiated.

The brew site is located about halfway between Foresters Falls and Beachburg, at 22 Fletcher Road.

Ingredients for their beer are decidedly local, with most of their hops from Alumette Island and the Pontiac Region.

Financially, the owners say they originally invested about $50,000 and keep reinvesting profits into the company. For example, they spent $20,000 in November to purchase kegs.

Meanwhile, they plan to continue marketing through friends, Facebook and other forms of social media. Visit www.whitewaterbeer.ca to learn more about the Whitewater Brewing Company.

LETTERS POLICY

March of the money Opinion - As grumpy old March totters to an end, grasping onto winter with dogged determination, good news can be hard to find.

But the chill of winter has been warmed by at least three announcements in Renfrew and area. Paramount among them is the last week’s announcement that Renfrew Victoria Hospital has been approved for a $9.6 million expansion.

Renfrew and area can be justly proud of its hospital and adjacent seniors’ homes and services. There is no greater measure of a community than its ability to care for its people.

The Mercury welcomes letters to the editor.

Senders must include their full name, complete address and a contact phone number.

Addresses and phone numbers will not be published. We reserve the right to edit letters for space and content, both in print and online at www.yourottawaregion.com.

Email your letter to theresa.fritz@ metroland.com

Our hospital continues to serve that purpose well, evolving with the shifting demographics.

Then last Wednesday afternoon more good news arrived with an announcement that the Town of Renfrew is receiving funding from the province for Lisgar Avenue improvements.

Motorists will also be well served with the awarding of last week’s tender by AdmastonBromley council for Opeongo Road improvements from the town limits to Highway 132.

Let’s hope these announcements are a springboard to more good news.

Happy spring 2014!

COMMENTARY

Cold winter on a warming planet Lynn Jones

Lifestyle - It’s early morning; the floor feels icy under my feet. As the fire starts to crackle in the woodstove, the smoke already puffing out of my neighbour’s chimney has the tell-tale look of chimney smoke on a very cold morning. Outside the kitchen window, the chickadees, puffed against the cold, are already feeding on black sunflower seeds and suet. Hoar frost sparkles on the cedar trees as the first rays of sunlight touch their high branches. Although it is early March here in the Ottawa Valley, the temperature has dipped well below 20 overnight, yet again, in this long, cold winter of 2014.

Throughout much of Central and Eastern North America it has been a record-breaking winter. Extreme cold caused school bus cancellations and school closures in many locations. Record snow falls and record low temperatures have been experienced in many eastern and central states in the U.S. On Jan. 7, every state in the lower 48 had a location that was below freezing (United States National Weather Service).

The Great Lakes are inching toward an all-time record for ice coverage. Home heating bills are surging, according to the CBC, a difficult situation for many. The previously unfamiliar meteorological term “polar vortex” has come into widespread usage

to describe the long stretches of immersion in frigid arctic air masses that has been the defining characteristic of this winter for many. And, according to Environment Canada cold weather is expected to persist through March which is forecast to be colder than normal.

This old-fashioned, and in many cases severe winter begs the question “Whatever happened to global warming?”

However, there is a great deal of evidence showing that our planet is still warming.

In fact, while we have been enjoying (or not) our cold and snowy winter here, it has been hot elsewhere in the world. Alaska set several new records for daily high temperatures in December and January. Temperatures have also been unusually high this winter in China, Mongolia and in Russia where ski jumpers at the Sochi Olympics landed in puddles while organizers scrambled to reschedule events and make artificial snow.

The Southern Hemisphere has had the hottest start to a year ever recorded. Australia, Argentina and Brazil have experienced extended heatwaves. Several cities in Australia have recorded 10 or more days above 40 degrees celsius and the capital, Canberra, had 19 days above 35 degrees, close to five times normal. According to the World Meteorological Organization, 2013 was the warm-

est year ever recorded in Australia, and the sixth warmest for the planet as a whole since records began.

In the Arctic, air and water temperatures have been exceptionally warm recently, about 10 degrees C above normal resulting in the lowest extent of Arctic sea ice ever recorded in February. Herein lies a critical factor that may partially solve the conundrum: How can we be breaking records for snow and ice in eastern North America while global warming continues apace?

As the Arctic sea ice shrinks, the Arctic warms up faster than the rest of the planet (no ice to reflect the sun’s rays and keep a lid on the warmth stored in the Arctic Ocean). A warmer Arctic region affects the jet stream – the wavy river of fast-moving air 10 kilometres above the Earth’s surface that brings us our weather. The jet stream moves from west to east and forms the boundary between cold polar air to the north and warm tropical air to the south.

The bigger the difference in temperature between the North Pole and the Equator, the stronger the jet stream and the faster it flows. As the Arctic has rapidly warmed in recent years the jet stream has slowed and become weaker. It meanders more and gets stuck in what meteorologists call “blocking patterns” or “persistent weather”.

What direction will the town take?

To the editor: Opinion - Re: Miller makes it a three-man race for mayor, Page 1, March 13, 2014.

It is good to see that the race for the mayor’s chair is heating up but I worry about the direction that some of the candidates want to take the town.

Mr. Miller, for instance, wants to promote economic development. How does he propose to do this? Will he encourage businesses to move to Renfrew by subsidizing them with taxpayer dollars? What freebies will he hand out?

Does he even have a plan or is it just political talk? Oh, I know, he can show them our shiny new fire truck. I’m sure that will impress them.

I don’t know how Mr. Miller, Mr. Anderson and the other members of council think but most business people, when looking to start up a new business or expand an existing one, look at the costs associated with operating it and the quality of the services provided for the fees that are paid.

Renfrew has higher water rates than many of the surrounding municipalities of similar size and they will rise substantially again next year.

Our property tax rates are right up there too.

Our roads are an embarrassing crumbling mess.

Our policing and fire department costs are out of control. How can we say that Renfrew is a great place to work and live when we can’t deliver good basic services at competitive rates? Where is the emphasis on controlling costs, improving and repairing streets and other infrastructure and at the same time working to reduce the debt? There is a sign on the edge of town that says “Town of Renfrew, a friendly and affordable place to live.” Friendly, absolutely, but if members of council, including the mayor, don’t make the necessary tough decisions required to ensure long-term stability for the town, pretty soon someone will have to paint over the word “affordable.”

Perhaps removing an asset resident employ for moving garbage to the transfer station is not the best approach to reducing intake volumes.

Feds urged to help with four-laning of Hwy. 17 John Carter John.carter@metroland.com

News – A delegation from the County of Renfrew stressed the importance of the four-laning of Highway 17 and the continued operation of Atomic Energy of Canada (AECL) to this area’s economy in a meeting with Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant last week.

The County ofďŹ cials asked Gallant to check whether a signiďŹ cant amount of federal funding allocated to improving the Trans Canada Highway in the Kenora area could be used in the Upper Ottawa Valley instead. The highway work in west Ontario is on hold indeďŹ nitely because of negotiations with First Nations bands. “We’d like to see her (Gallant) look into possibility of some of that money coming here,â€? said Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack, the chairman of the county’s operations committee.

Later in the week in a meeting with county and Arnprior ofďŹ cials, provincial Transportation Ministry Glenn Murray wished them “good luckâ€? in receiving federal funding for the highway, noting the federal government has never taken such requests seriously in the past.

Stack said the delegation asked Gallant to help set up a meeting on Highway 17 with federal, provincial and county ofďŹ cials. “We’d like to get everyone (MP, MPP, ministry ofďŹ cials, county representatives) all in the same room,â€? Stack explained.

Stack was joined on the county delegation by Acting County Warden Jack Wilson

and Deep River Mayor David Thompson.

In addition, County CAO Jim Hutton and director of public works and engineering David Darch were on hand to give Gallant gave an overview of the recently completed ‘Business Case for the Accelerated Extension of Highway 17’.

In a news release, Gallant indicated federal funding isn’t being considered at this time for the extension of the four lanes up the Valley because the project isn’t a provincial priority. “The county has done its part by completing the business case that was requested by the Province,â€? she said. “The challenge is to get the province to commit to the four-laning of Highway 17 by putting it in the ďŹ ve-year provincial infrastructure plan.â€?

Gallant said that before the last Federal budget she checked with Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty to see if the twinning of Highway 17 was on the list of projects to be considered for federal funding. But it wasn’t because Highway 17 is not on the list of provincial priorities, she said. “If safety was a provincial priority, the highway would be completed,� she added.

In the meeting with Gallant, the county delegation also raised the need for federal support for AECL and the $19-million Petawawa Boulevard project.

There is no way the county could fund the latter without support from the senior levels of government, noted Stack.

Gallant noted that infrastructure funding is possible for such projects through the P3 Canada Fund.

“The $53 billion New Building Canada Plan is the largest, long-term federal infrastructure plan in Canadian history, providing stable funding for a 10-year period, she explained. “Over $32 billion is speciďŹ cally available for municipalities through the permanent and indexed Gas Tax Fund and the incremental Goods and Services Tax Rebate for municipalities,â€? she added. “Since 2005, over $14 million has owed to Renfrew County.â€?

She said she looked forward to working with the County of Renfrew in seeking funding for the Petawawa Boulevard project and all its infrastructure needs.

Regarding AECL, Thompson pointed out to Gallant that the Association of Nuclear Host Communities has adopted a resolution supporting its re-structuring into a government-owned, contractor-operated model.

Gallant responded that the federal government has announced a request for response evaluation as the latest step in the restructuring of AECL. The restructuring will provide opportunities for economic development in the Valley, she maintained. “Canada’s nuclear industry generates well over $5 billion in economic activity related to energy production, and directly employs more than 30,000 Canadians, including 3,000 at AECL’s Chalk River National Laboratories,� she said. “What I will be looking for are spin-off businesses to join ‘Innovation Valley North’ here in the Upper Ottawa Valley when the (AECL) restructuring is completed.�

R0012600240-0320

NEWS Continued from page 5

Bujold checked the water rates of Deep River, Petawawa, Pembroke, Arnprior, Almonte and Carleton Place, and said none of those neighbours have gotten that memo.

He said, although they share the same challenges of upgrading infrastructure and water conservation, Renfrew has, by far, the highest water and wastewater rates.

Bujold said Deep River, with no metres, has a flat rate of $79.67 per month, compared to Renfrew’s $125.

Petawawa is $22.33 per month, Pembroke $83, Arnprior 2.96 per cubic metre with no increased planned for 2014, Almonte 2.28 per cubic metre, and Carleton Place $211.04 per three-month period.

“My friends, one may argue that the water bill which I am using as a comparison is for a home with three occupants which each uses an average of 1/4 of a cubic meter per day, while the average household in Renfrew may be closer to two occupants,” Bujold added.

“However, to compare apples to apples, simply take the rates of our three neighbours who use water metres – Pembroke at $3, Arnprior $2.96 and Almonte $2.28. With an average

of $2.75 per metre, these communities pay an average of 40 per cent less than we do here in Renfrew.”

The town should be attracting people and industry to move here. Having higher taxes and water only forces residents and industry to leave the Town of Renfrew, which leaves the burden on fewer residents to carry the excessive expenditures, Bujold added.

“We must grow the town, not bleed the town,” he concluded. “For God’s sake and for the sake of the citizens of Renfrew, freeze these outrageous water rates and find out what these other communities are doing different to survive and grow.”

RATES UP IN 2014 AND 2015

Renfrew’s water and sewage rates are going up.

For the majority of commercial and residential customers, their consumption rate on water in 2014 is going from $32.16 to $32.80 per twomonth billing; and on sewer from $32.16 to $35.70.

On consumption charges, water was at $2.23, now projected for $2.28 per cubic metre. Wastewater goes from $1.50 to $1.76.

The overall effect on the ratepayer for a single person averaging 12 cubic metres of

water usage in 2014 is a $6.94 increase per bill, or a bit over $41 annually on their water and sewer bill.

A family of four will see an $11 increase in billing, totalling a $66 increase for the year.

In 2015, the single occupant will pay an increase of $7.35 on their bill for a yearly total of $44, while the family of four will absorb an increase of about $11.50 per billing of about $68.94 annually.

TRUCK PURCHASES

Council has authorized staff to purchase a 2014 1/2-ton, 4WD, regular cab, long box truck at a cost of $28,787.45 plus HST for the development and works department; and a 2015 3/4-ton, 4WD, crew cab truck at $35,504.45 plus HST for parks and recreation.

The vehicles were purchased from Mac MacKenzie, which provided the only quote.

The purchase was approved as part of the 2014 capital budget, with the financing to come from 2014 taxation.

The truck for the development and works department will be an addition for the foreman; the vehicle for parks and recreation replaces the 1999 truck removed from service in 2013 because the frame didn’t pass the safety.

Heritage Day celebrated at Renfrew Victoria Hospital Roxanne Nolan Renfrew Victoria Hospital

Each year, Renfrew Victoria Hospital celebrates Heritage Week.

On Feb. 20 children in the Adopt-aGrandparent program from Our Lady of Fatima School’s Grade 6 class participated in an afternoon of square dancing.

With the help of volunteer square dancers (organized by Marlene Brisco), a fiddler, guitarist, piano player and caller (Lola Arnes), the students were introduced to the art of square dancing.

The patients of Renfrew Victoria Hospital enjoyed watching the efforts and fun of all involved.

Feb. 26 the Grade 3 students from OLF participated in an afternoon of

bread making and quilting.

Teresa Connaughan started the bread from scratch with the students.

She explained to the children how to read the recipe, measure the ingredients, the importance of each ingredient, how to mix them together and then set the bread to rise.

In total, eight loaves were made at RVH. Teresa sent each if the students home with a small loaf of bread which she had made earlier.

Bernie Larocque introduced the students to quilting.

Each student selected a coaster with an Olympic icon on it. Bernie instructed the children on how to quilt the figure onto their coaster.

The students concentrated their efforts on the project and did an excellent

Tate Hickey, at right, concentrating on his quilting style. job of quilting.

Each student brought their completed project home.

The Heritage Week is a link to the past for the students.

It was a much-enjoyed event for all the patients who were involved.

Onion treatment was a cure-all, according to Mrs. Beam Mary Cook Memories

Lifestyle - No matter what ailed you, there was a treatment for it, right there on the farm. Only when you were seriously afflicted, did you call old doctor Murphy, who made house calls, to come out from Renfrew, a twelve and a half mile trip each way.

But you had to be in dire straits indeed, because his fee was $2, or a couple of trussed up freshly plucked chickens and a batch of hot out-of-the oven sticky buns. Of course, if you broke a leg, or suffered some other serious malady, you were taken in to his office, where the fee was only a dollar.

Chicken pox, measles, whooping cough, or a very bad cold were not considered serious enough to warrant a call to Dr. Murphy!

If Mother couldn’t handle it, Mrs. Beam was called in. She had a cure for everything, and most of them centred around the use of onions ... a good dose of onions. Mrs. Beam believed in the healing power of onions.

It was a good thing we had a big supply, piled in the cellar in bags.

And no one questioned Mrs.

Beam. Emerson, who hated her onion cures as much as the rest of us did, was sure she would put a hex on you if you didn’t adhere to her advice, which would ultimately lead to your untimely death!

And so we endured what became known as Mrs. Beam’s cure-all: “the onion treatment.”

She also thought it best to ward off future diseases before they started, and of course that meant lots of onions...not cooked. Oh no, raw, right out of the bag.

Early in the winter, Mother was advised to cut them into quarters, put them in a soup bowl, and put them inches from every bed in the house! Father was the only one who believed this would keep the house free of germs. Mother tried it one day in early winter, and I took a sneezing fit in bed the first night and had to get up, Emerson said he was going to throw up, and Audrey took her next-morning clothes and hung them behind the kitchen door downstairs!

That night’s chopped up onions were added to the pig feed the next day!

But we weren’t to get off that easy.

While most people had their chests slathered with Vic’s Vapo-rub when

they got a cold, we wore a little flannelette packet tied around our necks with string, and filled with chopped onions! The first day we had to wear the packets to the Northcote School, we smelled like a pot of Irish stew, and everyone knew Mrs. Beam had been called in for a ‘treatment’.

It could have been a social disaster, but Mrs. Beam had gotten to a few other households which were threatened with some dastardly disease, only onions could keep at bay!

And we weren’t the only ones reeking at the Northcote School.

However, Miss Crosby finally had her fill of the one-room school house smelling to high heaven, and she sent a note home with every pupil asking that the children stick to Vic’s Vaporub and leave the onions for the stewpot.

Using Mrs. Beam’s treatment at home was one thing, but bringing it into the Northcote School was quite another!

There was no thought of staying home from school if you were under the weather. You had to be bed-ridden before you were considered sick enough to miss. Passing on your germs never seemed to be a concern.

It was assumed, sooner or later, everyone at the Northcote School would eventually get whatever was going around, and you just hung in there and waited for it to happen.

The common cold or what was called the “grippe” was never considered a serious ailment. However, measles, and whooping cough were a different matter. Those two meant missing school until either the rash left you, or you stopped coughing. In either case, Mrs. Beam was called in.

And once again, the onion treatment came into play. She would check to make sure a soup bowl of chopped onions was beside your bed if it was the measles that kept you home. But her treatment for the whooping cough bordered on ‘child abuse’.

She would cut an onion in half, scoop it out, making it into two little boats, fill them with honey, and then pour on a few drops of coal oil. These were put on a pie plate and chucked into the oven of the Findlay Oval, and when they started to bubble, you took a spoon and ate them!

The honey was supposed to soothe

your throat, the merit of the onions went without saying and the few drops of coal-oil, no one could say what they were good for, but what they did do was cause violent stomach upheaval which was exactly what Mrs. Beam wanted to happen. That was to get rid of whatever ailed you, in this case the whooping cough!

There was no doubt, the cure was far worse than the disease!

It got to the point where even Mother doubted the merit of the common onion in treating an illness. Instead, she made sure that just about everything she cooked for our meals had a goodly dose of onions chopped up in it.

No longer was there any such thing as a fried egg without onions, boiled turnips had onions added to the pot, and onions in a cream sauce appeared at least once or twice a week. Father thought anything Mrs. Beam said, or what she handed out as treatment, was right up there with Scripture.

Just like the time she said she had a cure for lumbago, but that’s another story waiting to be told.

W FR ATER ON T

Community - Well, here is one Canadians can be proud of. Tartan Day is a Canadian celebration started not in Scotland or any other country of the world, but on the east coast of Canada.

Tartan Day originated in late 1986 in Nova Scotia, where it was declared an official day by the provincial government.

At a meeting of the Federation of Scottish Clans in the Antigonish court house there was “a discussion as to how few heros, in this day and age, for children to look up to or a person who could be held up as someone you would like to pattern yourself after.”

At that time the people of the area wanted to honour the memory of the Scottish ancestors who settled their area, and a lot of the rest of Canada, with hard work, determination, and faith in God. Does this sound familiar about the Scottish pioneers who came from Scotland to work the Laird of MeNab’s land grant in the area of Arnprior, White Lake, Burnstown, Glasgow, Braeside and Lochwinnoch to the Ottawa River.

The minutes of that meeting read as follows: March 9, 1986 motion by Bill Crowell, president of clan Cameron and seconded by Jean Watson, president of Clan Farquharson, “That we establish a day known as Scot day.”

Following more discussion the motion was amended to read Tartan Day. The wearing of Scottish attire especially in places where the kilt is not ordinarily worn i.e. work, play, worship... in honour of our forbearers.

It then spread across the country, with many provinces joining in arid Canada developing its own tartan (the Maple Leaf Tartan).

On Oct. 21, 2010, the Minister of Canadian Heritage officially declared April 6 as Tartan Day. From here Tartan Day spread to the USA and eventually worldwide.

Okay so why was the wearing of the tartan so important you ask?

Well, this goes back all the way to King Edward’s “excursions” into Scotland.

Unfortunately in 1305, the Pope recognized Edward 1st of England as overlord of Scotland and Robert the Bruce was excommunicated and sent to Rome.

It was Edward’s determination at that time that the wearing of the kilt was condemned and that the Scots were to wear truiss (tartan trousers) instead of kilts.

Eventually Edward decided that the wearing of any kind of tartan, even a ribbon in the hair would be a crime punishable by death on the spot.

Of course, this did not go well with the Scots.

They started something called the kirking of the tartan.

Needless to say, back then they didn’t advertise it because the English and their supporters were not to know about it.

King George IV, on visiting Scotland, decided that based on his genetic Scottish heritage and royal lineage to the Scottish throne, decided that the wearing of the tartan would be legal.

CENTURY 3 BEDROOM HOME WITH FINISHED ATTIC

He sponsored a great ball to celebrate the ruling. King George IV required that for the Grand Ball to celebrate the ruling,” no one would be allowed to enter if they didn’t wear tartan of some kind.”

Based on this history, it seems that the Scottish heritage has been faced with large obstacles in retaining their historic garb. For some reason it was thought that the bagpipe was also banned. However, there is no proof that they were banned.

The group in Nova Scotia made a good decision to establish a special event to celebrate our heritage.

Read The Renfrew Mercury next week to see where this tartan story goes next.

Until then we suggest that you dig out your tartan finery and plan to join us April 6 at the Horton Community Centre.

The McNab and District Celtic Heritage Society is planning on celebrating Tartan Day with a pot luck meal at 12:30 p.m. that day.

Come prepared for a good time with food, music and dancing and a tartan-weaving demonstration by Bob Hinchley. Everyone is welcome to come and help us celebrate.

We ask that you wear your tartan to church, that way you don’t have to go home after church to get changed.

Surprise the rest of the parishioners with your Celtic heritage. Then come to the Horton Community Centre and join the celebration at our event.

The McNab and District Celic Heritage Society members are looking forward to seeing you there.

www.cherylgallant.com With winter temperatures being colder than usual these past several months, my office has received many angry phone calls from constituents about their electricity bills. Unfortunately, electricity rates are set by the provincial government in Toronto. Our two independent power utility companies here in the Ottawa Valley, Ottawa River Power Corporation, (ORPC) which serves Pembroke, Beachburg, Killaloe, Mississippi Mills, and Renfrew Hydro, are prevented by the Ontario Energy Board from buying cheap, abundant, clean, hydro-electric power from Quebec. Only when power crosses a provincial or international boundary, does the Federal Government through the National Energy Board (NEB) have jurisdiction.

Even given that constraint, our local distribution companies offer competitive power rates, with ORPC giving the lowest rate in the province of Ontario. In 2013 a residential customer using 800 kWh per month paid $109.65 to ORPC or $112.74 to Renfrew Hydro. Renfrew County residents who are customers of Hydro One paid $145.17!

Rates for hydro in Ontario have been approved by Toronto to increase another 33% over the next three years. This increase does not include additional charges on electricity bills demanded by the provincial government. And it gets worse.

Ontario PAID over $1 Billion dollars in 2013 to American border states to take unusable power from industrial wind turbines and solar panels. Ratepayers are subsidizing wind and solar at home and at the same time delivering cheap power to Ontario’s economic competitors, hollowing out our manufacturing sector in the process. Rest assured, if there was any way the Federal Government could intervene, I would do so on your behalf!

These and other bad decisions have turned Ontario from being the economic engine of Canada, to a have-not province, with the current government in Toronto begging Ottawa for handouts. My concern, is the authors of the disastrous Ontario Energy Policy in Toronto, the so-called Green Energy Act, are now in Ottawa as principal advisors to the in-experienced leader of the 3rd Opposition Party.

The chief policy advisor to the leader of the liberal party in Ottawa, who, the media has nick-named “the puppeteer,” and the former provincial, turned federal liberal party president want Ontario Energy Policy to become a “new” National Energy Policy (NEP). Who among us can forget the first NEP in the 1980s that caused gas prices to rise by 54 cents a litre! Beware a disguised carbon tax using the word “green” or “environment” next time you pay your energy bill.

As your Federal Member of Parliament, I am pleased to represent you on a variety of issues. Whether that issue is eliminating the long gun registry, promoting agriculture, international trade, Canadian Unity, AECL, the military or jobs in the working forest, I am here to serve you! As always, if you have any concerns of a federal nature, or just want to share your views with me, please do not hesitate to contact my office.

Office contact Information: Cheryl Gallant, MP, 84 Isabella St, Pembroke, Ontario, K8A 5S5 or call 732-4404. There is no postage required when you write to Federal Member of Parliament.

EDUCATION

Connected to your community

Session focuses on youth mental health Creative drama classes ABBY HALL Jaguar Journal

management, nutrition and financial guidance to Internet and video game usage.

These workshops, led by qualified instructors, targeted contributing factors of students’ mental health.

The entire school attended an assembly with the director of the Phoenix Centre for Children and Families, Greg Lubimiv.

The focus of this event was the different ways mental illness can be presented, how to help someone who is struggling with

mental illness, and to promote wellness in our community.

Tuesday also marked the beginning of a number of intiatives that are designed to reduce stigma and provide support for students with mental illness.

A student group, Students Against Stigma, will be meeting on a monthly basis. All students are welcome, and the group’s focus is on brainstorming ways to eliminate stigma and help students who are struggling.

Peer mentors, select staff members and a trained social worker, Jessica Mahusky, will also be available to students in need.

These services are designed to welcome those who would not otherwise approach someone.

As well, a trip to the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre has been planned for March 25.

Participants who wish to attend have the opportunity to learn from professionals about coping strategies, helping peers and testimonials from those who have been diagnosed with a mental illness.

We are looking forward to making SJHS a brighter and more welcoming environment for all students, staff and visitors!

The mental health of adolescents has been a very important topic of discussion in recent years.

Although illnesses such as depression and anxiety have become well-known and diagnosable, there remains a stigma attached to these terms.

This past Tuesday, SJHS hosted a Mental Health & Wellness Day, initiated by students Colleen Gyori and Danielle Labelle.

The goal of this event was to raise the level of awareness of mental illness among adolescents, give students the tools they need to cope with daily stresses, and to bring attention to the resources that are available within the school.

Senior students attended workshops with topics ranging from stress

Sports - Local powerlifters will be competing at the Canadian Powerlifting Union’s national competition March 31 to April 5 in St. Catharines.

Sarah Leighton and Kinsey Maxwell will be competing in their respective divisions.

Leighton has been weightlifting for seven years out of Ultimate Fitness in Renfrew. She recently competed in Auckland, New Zealand and emerged Commonwealth champion in her 72-kilogram weight class.

Leighton also captured the Overall Best Female award at the week-long event, which drew more than 400 athletes.

“I am looking forward to com-

peting at Nationals this year as it is much closer to home, being in St Catharines,” Leighton said. “The Ultimate Fitness powerlifting team has 10 great lifters competing, and I am positive we will be coming home with some medals,” she said.

“Training has been going really well for me since the Commonwealths in New Zealand, so I am still riding that wave,” Leighton added.

“There will be some strong competition in my weight class, and I also look forward to catching up with the other Canadian lifters that I only get to see twice a year.”

Leighton noted that Kinsey Maxwell’s mother Karen, who is an Ultimate Fitness client, got Kinsey into lifting.

The younger Maxwell has been lifting for three years out of Ultimate

Fitness in Renfrew, working with trainer and professional strongman Paul Vaillancourt and powerlifter Sarah Leighton.

Maxwell won the gold medal in her age and weight class at the provincial championships this past November in Ottawa. She and her team members also went on to win the best female team award at that same event.

Wolves hopes of Valley Division repeat struck by Thunder in dying seconds Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Well, it has for the Renfrew Timberwolves.

And in heartstopping fashion.

GAME 5: ALMONTE 4, WOLVES 3

The Thunder won its fourth consecutive game after dropping the series opener to the Wolves March 7 in overtime.

Martin’s goal at 19:56 of the third period was his second of the night and 10th in the fivegame series.

Cameron Cornwall and defenceman Tyler McKechnie had other Almonte markers.

McKechnie’s goal on a point dart following a faceoff tied the game with 5:30 left in the third period.

Martin’s first was the opening goal of the game 3:24 in.

Luke Lapierre, Sean Kyte and Troy Taylor answered for the Wolves. Tanner Smith and blueliner Michael Minns collected two assists.

The goal gave the Thunder a dramatic 4-3 win over the Wolves, and Almonte’s first Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League Valley Division title in the franchise’s five-year history.

Almonte will now aim to become the first Valley Division team to advance to an EOJHL final since the Perth Blue Wings won it all in 1996, when the Thunder takes on the Metro champion Ottawa West Golden Knights.

Wolves: Thunder strikes quickly From page 29

Lapierre at the 4:19 mark, and Kyte at 6:12 on a powerplay, gave the Wolves a 2-1 lead as the game got off to a fast start.

However, Martin pulled Almonte even with the extra man 1:24 into the middle stanza.

Taylor shot the Wolves back in front as he solved goalkeeper Alex Daley with a high drive 4:07 into the final frame.

But that would be the Wolves’ last goal of the 201314 season.

Wolves netminder Matt Gagne gave his team a chance to win with 33 saves.

Daley made 22 stops in the Almonte goalcrease.

GM 3: ALMONTE 4, WOLVES 0

The recap of last Tuesday night’s game three can be wrapped quickly.

Almonte scored three powerplay goals in five chances while the Wolves were unable to solve Thunder goalkeeper Alex Daley on six opportunities with the extra man, or any other time for that matter.

Luke Martin had a hat trick to lead the Thunder. Andrew Rowbotham added a single.

Tyler McKechnie collected three helpers for Almonte,

who led 1-0 and 2-0 at the period intervals.

Daley made 28 saves for the shutout. A frustrated Wolves Matt Gagne received a game misconduct for chopping an Almonte player’s helmet with his goalstick late in the third period. For the record, there was no head in it. Gagne and Matt Schroeder combined to face 28 shots.

GM 4: ALMONTE 6, WOLVES 4

The Wolves squandered an enormous opportunity to tie the series at two games apiece Wednesday night (March 12) at the Almonte Thunderdome.

Renfrew led 4-1 in the last minute of the second period, and 4-2 entering the third before lightning struck with the sound of four answered Thunder goals.

Luke Martin caged his second consecutive hat trick, while Jordan Bosely notched the game winner with two minutes remaining to cap the stunning comeback. Andrew Rowbotham and Ben Wade added singles.

Scott Conroy carded a pair of first-period markers for the Wolves. Luke Lapierre and Colin Bradbury, on a powerplay, tabbed others.

Three Almonte goals came on the powerplay, including Martin’s equalizer with 7:57 remaining.

It came following a fiveminute boarding major dealt to Dylan Zavitske which also cost the Renfrew defenceman a game misconduct.

Wade added an empty-net tally.

Matt Schroeder got the call between the Renfrew pipes as Matt Gagne was suspended one game from the night before. Schroeder faced 36 shots while Almonte’s Alex Daley earned the win with 24 saves.

WOLVES HOWLINGS

It was a tough ending for the Wolves, as games four and five could have gone either way.

“It was a heartbreaker, that’s for sure, (to have Almonte score) with four seconds left,” coach Kip Mulvihill said.

“We led in two games. They (Almonte) kept coming at us.

There’s a lesson to be learned there.”

Mulvihill noted that Almonte is one team that always seems to play the Wolves well.

“We didn’t get any breaks in their barn all year.”

If they get most of their nucleus back, the Wolves should

Visiting teams have captured four of the past five Valley Division titles, with the Timberwolves a part of the picture each time.

Tanner Smith, Sean Kyte, Scott Conroy, Teddy Suckow, Luke Lapierre, Matt McIntyre, Cole Allard and Nolan Rook are some of the names the coach expects to see back, but Mulvihill cautioned, “We don’t want to look too far ahead of ourselves.”

Sports -The Upper Ottawa Valley Aces AA Minor Hockey Association has had another terrific season. Six of the seven teams in the association â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which draws players from every community in the Valley â&#x20AC;&#x201C; made the playoffs and two are still standing, the Major Bantams and the Minor Midgets.

The Major Bantams, coached by Pembrokeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Murray Kyte, were fourth in the regular season standings but they waited until the playoffs to really show their stuff.

In the first round they disposed of the fifth-place Ottawa Valley Silver Seven and then in the second round the Aces beat out the regular season champion Gloucester Rangers.

Now all that stands between them and the league championship is the Ottawa Sting, who they face in the finals which began March 16.

Meanwhile, the Major Midget Aces, coached by Daryl Faught, are getting ready to face the Gloucester Rangers in the league championship.

In the first round of the play-offs, the Aces defeated the Rideau St. Lawrence Kings in a hard-fought fivegame series.

Dougherty added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was very competitive field of competition and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very happy with the outcome. It was a three-day meet, so getting a medal in the first event gave the team a head start with points and momentum to get us all going. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every member of our team showed up with a national title in mind, and it was truly a team effort in accomplishing that. It was an incredible experience and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very fortunate to be a part of the best track and field team in the country.â&#x20AC;?

Dougherty was also among the best in shot put.

She finished 13th in 11.94 metres March 7. Her best at the university level has been 13.24 metres.

Doughertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance also gave the Gryphons six points in the overall standings, and when you consider Guelph topped the University of Toronto Blues 96-93 in the final point totals, her contribution obviously made a huge difference.

It was Doughertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second medal-winning performance in a couple of weeks.

She won gold with a throw of 17.22 metres as the Gryphon women claimed the 2014 Ontario Universities Athletics (OUA) track and field title Feb. 22 at the Toronto Track and Field Centre, Guelphâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second consecutive OUA womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crown.

Dougherty also won the weight throw at the McGill Team Challenge Jan. 24.

Her throw of 17 metres in Montreal set a Guelph school record. â&#x20AC;&#x153;CIS turned out to be more than I could ever hope for this year,â&#x20AC;? Dough-

Running for Special Olympics

The RUNfrew Run Club hosted its annual St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day five-kilometre run for Special Olympics Sunday. Despite cold, blustery weather, 51 brave souls registered for the event.

Runners make their way through Hunter Gate as part of Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5-km run for Special Olympics. Participants came from Cobden, Pembroke, Metcalfe, Ottawa, Shawville, Stittsville, Arnprior and Renfrew. Special Olympian Kevin Reid was the run marshal and officially sent runners on their way. Event organizer Colleen Berry thanked the Renfrew Parks and Recreation Department for donating the venue, and the OPP for ensuring the safety of the runners and walkers along the route. Look for the OPP Torch Run this spring to continue support for local Special Olympics athletes.

Sports - The Canadian Paralympic Committee and Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities has announced the second year of their commitment to the Parasport Jumpstart Fund, an initiative which helps kids with disabilities from financially disadvantaged families participate in organized sports and recreational programs.

Investment in the 2014 Parasport Jumpstart Fund will increase from $100,000 to $150,000 to help even more kids living with disabilities get in the game.

Funds will be allocated on a first-come, firstserved basis.

GRAND ROUNDS

When RVH Foundation Exective Director Barb Desilets chose to leave her corporate career and city commute behind, little did she know she would have a front row seat to some of the most exciting changes in RVH history.

“I could have never predicted that I’d have the opportunity to be part of such an exciting time for our community,” she says, after seeing the introduction of the CT scan suite, the upgrade to digital mammography and now, as plans are in motion for largest expansion in the history of RVH. “I am proud to be the person who shares the hospital’s story with the community and facilitates the support of our generous donors.

When I see the pride on people’s faces, I have a great sense of satisfaction and joy.”

Desilets, who was born and raised in Renfrew, had been a long-time supporter of the hospital and was one of the original members of the RVH Golf Classic organizing team. “To get behind such a worthy cause meant a lot to me.”

Upon joining the Foundation Desilets admits, “I soon saw how much there was to learn about our health care facility and quickly

realized that I took RVH for granted simply because I did not understand what it takes to provide the services we have. All too often, we don’t think about the hospital until we need it.”

As stated in the RVH mission, vision and values, the hospital continuously strives to provide quality care and services—always searching for ways to improve.

“I see firsthand the work and dedication it takes,” notes Desilets, pointing to the results of the last accreditation as validation of these efforts. In December 2013, RVH received Exemplary Standing.

Passionate care

Choosing RVH

“Within months of joining RVH, I experienced firsthand the care and compassion shown by the staff in caring for my mom who passed away in November 2007. Mom had such respect for the hospital and staff over the years, and it was comforting for the family to know she would want part of her memoriam gifts to come here. Today, one of the most rewarding elements of my job is speaking to donors and their families who have the same experience. Families come to me to discuss in memoriam donations and although it is a difficult conversation, there is a comfort in honouring the wishes of our loved ones—it is such a gift.

“I hear from patients and families why they choose RVH, and often the story is the same—from the helpful staff in the hallway providing assistance, the “angels” in oncology, or the ER staff that take time to sit with a family member, and on and on.

“It’s always the kids who tug on my heartstrings the most—they raise a couple hundred dollars, coins in a baggie, and want to give it to the hospital to help others, or because Granny came here to fix her cancer.”

Whatever your reason, know your support makes a difference For more information or to contribute to the RVH Foundation, please contact the Foundation office at 613 432-4851 ext. 263 or visit https://www.renfrewhosp.com/rvh_foundation.php

He was released at a bail hearing on a recognizance with conditions. He will not be identified to protect the identity of the alleged victim.

Renfrew OPP officers responded to 11 domestic disputes during the past week. One female was charged with assault, one male was charged with assault causing bodily harm, two counts of assault, domestic mischief and breach of probation, and a male was charged with two counts of assault and domestic mischief.

Gray partridge survive winter, so far

Dianeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Natural PURA VIDA Health Store NUTRITION

Scene from the Hawkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eye

Lifestyle - Sybil Ferguson saw the remaining six of the 12 gray partridge she had seen during the early weeks of December last year.

Winters such as the one we are experiencing make it difficult for the birds to find food and shelter.

Gray partridge were introduced as a game bird to North America in the early 1900s and are not native to the area.

As a result they are not as resilient as our native ruffed grouse and mortality rates are high during prolonged deep snow and cold temperatures.

Coveys of gray partridge may contain up to 20 birds and may be seen foraging in open fields or in sheltered spots at the edge of wooded areas.

In recent years they may have seen in sheltered areas near farm buildings searching for hay seeds.

They usually walk or run on the ground and fly for short distances close to the ground with rapid wing beats.

BALD EAGLE

Ron and Brenda Golden saw a bald eagle this week in the same tree that the bird has used as a perch for the past three years. Bald eagles spend the winter as close to their summer nesting territory as the food availability and weather conditions will allow.

They venture farther afield when deep snow and frozen waterways reduce their food supply.

Immature birds that have not established a breeding territory wander great distances in search of food.

With hunting skills that are less than perfect they must seek out areas where food is easier to catch such as road kills and animals that have been killed by wolves or coyotes.

CHIMNEY SWIFTS

Chimney swifts have declined sharply in numbers since the closure of several large flues with the arrival of gas and oil-fired heating systems.

The flues were used as night roosts and nesting sites for

Deborah Powell of Shawville and Claire Charron of Alymer have spearheaded a committee to find out what can be done to help the birds if and when they return from their winter range. They have been looking for alternate sites and whether they can be used to satisfy the nesting needs of the swifts.

They are holding a workshop for those interested in Shawville at the James Street Wesleyan United Church at 7 p.m. on March 24.

For more information, email Deborah at debp@storm.ca or call 819-647-2910. We thank them for their efforts and wish them â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;swiftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;` results.

EARLY NESTERS

The great-horned owl is another of our early nesters.

Mated pairs have been calling for over a month now and if conditions are to their liking the female will be incubating her eggs at the present time.

She lays her eggs at two-day intervals (it may be three or four days in some cases).

This means that the eggs hatch on different days and the young are not all the same age.

If the adults are able to find enough food for all, all will live, but if not only the oldest, strongest birds will survive.

Eastern birds tend to lay two eggs; those in the west lay three or four. Food availability seems to be the reason for the difference.

An early start is necessary

if the young birds are to be well enough trained to hunt on their own by the time snow falls next winter. The fledgling phase lasts up to three months.

During this time the young just stay perched in the territory and wait for food to be brought to them.

WOODPECKERS DRUM

It is difficult to identify woodpeckers by their drumming but there are some differences that give us a clue to their creator. Downy woodpeckers drum in rapid sequence of nine to 16 times per minute and slowly enough for us to almost count the strikes.

Hairy woodpeckers drum in sequence of four to nine per minute the strikes are very fast at the start and slow down at the end. Pileated woodpeckers have a slow, powerful drum, distinct at first and dropping off near the end.

A BIRDER MISSED

The area has lost an ardent birder with the passing of Neil Eady. Neil helped with several bird counts including weekend counts and the Christmas Bird Count. No matter the conditions, he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;on the job.â&#x20AC;? winter or summer. Thank you, Neil.

How does CardioďŹ&#x201A;ex work?

CardioďŹ&#x201A;ex is a powdered drink mix that can beneďŹ t so many people in so many ways.

The formulation was inspired by Dr. Linus Paulingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cardiovascular health research. There are many products on the market which contain vitamin C and Lysine, but CardioďŹ&#x201A;ex contains much more than that. CardioďŹ&#x201A;ex contains Enhanced Vitamin C, Lysine, Proline, Glutamine, Threonine, Magnesium, Potassium, CoQ10 in the Ubiquinol form, Folate, Selenium, Vitamin D and Vitamin E. I found this product years ago when the wife of a very popular local natural Doctor brought it to my attention. She had been taking it for high blood pressure and it was working very well for her. CardioďŹ&#x201A;ex can also help with many other conditions such as high cholesterol, high triglycerides, hardening of the arteries, circulation problems and low energy issues.

CardioďŹ&#x201A;ex contains high amounts of nutrients that are required by the body to repair and restore ďŹ&#x201A;exibility to the arteries. Research shows that cholesterol oxidation contributes to hardening of the arteries and the antioxidants in CardioďŹ&#x201A;ex help reverse that oxidation. The CoQ10 and L-Carnitine help provide energy and strength to your arteries and heart muscle.

CardioďŹ&#x201A;ex helps to produce collagen, which is found almost everywhere in your body. Quite often, people who have high blood pressure and high cholesterol also suffer from arthritis issues and the collagen production support of CardioďŹ&#x201A;ex can help repair the joints and reduce the pain.

Just one serving of CardioďŹ&#x201A;ex provides the beneďŹ ts of 12 different supplements, mixes fast and easy into a glass of water and has a pleasant taste. Twelve years ago my dad had a stroke and we were told that he had a 98% blockage in his main carotid artery. Surgery wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an option because they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think he would be able to survive it. With direction from a naturopath we started him on CardioďŹ&#x201A;ex twice a day for a full year...then once a day thereafter. He still takes CardioďŹ&#x201A;ex every day and at 86 years old...heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going strong!!

Personally, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any health issues, but iI take it every day as a preventative and it makes me feel conďŹ dent that I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t develop any cardiovascular issues in the future. Ask for a sample next time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in!

R0012602011

Community - The Bromley Historical Society is pleased to invite the public to an afternoon of narrative and music, featuring Guy Jamieson and Friends, on Sunday, March 23 at 2 p.m. at the Barr Line Community Centre, 176 Barr Line.

The event will include a Power Point presentation and songs, which highlight the life and music of wellloved and well-known Ottawa Valley musician Mac Beattie.

“Re-telling the life story of Mac Beattie will certainly bring back memories for many people who are familiar with him,’ said Guy Jamieson recently. “But there will be some things that they may not know.”

Jamieson shares Mac Beattie’s love of music and the Ottawa Valley.

Born into a musical family, Jamieson follows in the footsteps of his father, Duglad, who played the fiddle, and his brother, Art, a piano player.

A retired schoolteacher, Jamieson played in a band in the 1960s and now, in retirement, frequently plays music, particularly at local fundraisers and at local retirement homes.

Jamieson first met Mac Beattie at the Hotel Renfrew where he recorded a radio show to be broadcast on station CHOV in Pembroke.

Jamieson sang with the musicians.

He was also a dancer on Beattie’s television program, North Star Jamboree.

On the afternoon of March 23, Mary Etmanskie (who played with Mac Beattie), Jenny and Andrew Herwig, Shirley Watson, and Ian Hamilton will join Jamieson in providing the music.

“Mac Beattie left a lasting legacy for the Valley. In his time, his songs drew on places and people that inspired him. He kept our heritage alive.

I believe it is important that his songs continue on and influence the next generation.”

The society’s annual general meeting will precede the afternoon presentation. The free event is open to the public as well as members. Refreshments will be served after the event.

In loving memory of our daughter Corrine Guest Deslaurier who passed away March 23, 2003 They say memories are golden, Well, maybe that is true; We never wanted memories, We only wanted you.

A million times we needed you, A million times we cried; If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still; In our hearts you hold a piece No one could ever fill.

But now we know you want us To mourn for you no more, To remember the happy times Life still has much in store.

Since you’ll never be forgotten We pledge to you today; A hallowed place within our hearts Is where you’ll always stay.

If tears could build a stairway And heartache make a lane; We’d walk the path to heaven And bring you back again.

Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same; But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.

With our love always In loving memory of Mother, Dad, Sisters and Brothers

We seem to see in the soft dim light A face we love the best; Recalling her as the sun’s last rays Go down in the far off west.

We miss her more as time goes on, We can never close our hearts; And the lamp of our love still burns.

Her heart the truest in all the world, Her love the best to recall; None on earth could take her place, She is still the dearest of all.

God knows how much I miss her Never shall her memory fade.

They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal; But neither time nor reason Will change the way I feel.

For no one knows the heartache That lies behind our smiles, No one knows how many times We have broken down and cried.

We want to tell you something, So there won’t be any doubt, You’re so wonderful to think of, But so hard to be without.

Love Bonnie & family
