An Admaston-Bromley businessman is dead following a March 14 snow machine collision in Brudenell, Lyndoch and Raglan Township.

Robert Hass, 47, was snowmobiling with friends last Thursday afternoon when his machine struck a tree.

Officers and paramedics attended the scene on motorized snow vehicles where the victim was pronounced dead.

The Killaloe detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police responded to a call to Britches Lake, off Quadeville Road, at about 6:25 p.m. last Thursday to investigate the snowmobile accident.

Hassʼs wake was held at the Goulet Funeral Home in Renfrew Sunday afternoon and evening, and Monday morning before the funeral service at Our Lady of Fatima Church.

Sundayʼs wake was a testament to Hassʼs popularity as long lines of family, friends and the business community braved the bitter cold to attend the visitation.

Hassʼs sister, Brenda Davis, said the family appreciated the outpouring of support.

“Every person who has come through has had story after story, just talking about his laughter,” she said.

“His enthusiasm was just so infectious.”

Hass, who was a plumber by trade, was an avid outdoorsman.

“Any time an opportunity came to be involved in some kind of outdoor activity – hunting or fishing – he was part of it,” his sister noted.

“And it has been pretty incredible because the friends heʼs had – we call it the Lisgar/132 strip – those boys have stuck together since they were five and theyʼre still pouring in here.

GM fire chief Sayers steps down Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Greater Madawaska Township Fire Chief Betsy Sayers informed council in February that she will be stepping down from that position as of April 30.

Mayor Peter Emon said Sayersʼ dedication to the position will be tough to replace.

“I will miss Betsy and her

energy, her professionalism and her constant advocating for the safety of the fire volunteers. Betsy was hired for a number of reasons but the most important one was to identify and mitigate the municipalityʼs liability in owning and operating a fire department,” Mayor Emon said.

“At the time we wanted to ensure the department was properly trained, the equip-

ment was appropriate and as modern as we could afford and the fire department continues to provide a valued service to the public.”

Emon said Sayers gave countless hours to meetings, both in the municipal framework and outside, to structure the department to meet the increasingly complex and demanding regulations.

“Those boys, from the age of nine or 10, were in the scrap yard, all playing together, so we tried to put up so many pictures around the home, not just of family life, but of friends because, you know, he had four sisters but he had 40 brothers I think,” she added with a smile, “that theyʼre going to be left with a huge void from him not being around.”

Davis recalled her brother as someone who was fun-loving and generous.

“His laughter was infectious, his enthusiasm was infectious, and certainly his generosity, because he would do anything he could for anyone.

“Itʼs incredible to hear the contractors, the local businesses, just how many people heʼs either worked with, or for, or been involved with.

Just to see that many people coming out today and having people lined up around the block in this cold weather is just such a testament to his personality,” she said.

She said the sisters are very proud to have a brother that they love so much that was so well liked in the community.

Meanwhile, the family remains at a loss as to what may have gone wrong.

“Right now, the cause of the accident, we just canʼt explain. The boy grew up on anything with a motor.

“The only reason we can justify is that it may have been something medical; something that caused him to lose consciousness.

“There is just no way to predict how it happened. We talked to the people who were there and everything was fine and he wasnʼt going LEO SAMMON fast,” she said.

Hass and some close friends have a hunt Robert (Bobby) Hass relaxes in the beautiful Saturday afternoon sun March 9. He died in camp in the Foymount area and were showing a tragic snowmobile accident the following week near Foymount. another friend around the area at the time of the mishap.

Following the opening of four new state-of-the-art surgical suites in the Ottawa Valley Health and Wellness Centre two years ago, Pembroke Regional Hospital has now been approved for the planning and implementation of a capital project designed to improve its other surgical facilities. This includes significant upgrades to the hospitalʼs central sterile reprocessing (CSR) area.

“Our surgical facilities in Tower A are, for the most part, in original space constructed in the 1950s and this project will bring up to current standards our day surgery and inpatient surgical space, our CSR facilities and various

“Any way we wrap our brain around it, we just canʼt explain it because anything with a motor, Bobby had been operating it since he was a kid.”

Davis also noted three of her brotherʼs favourite places – the hunt camp, his cottage at Douglas, and sitting around a kitchen table with his buddies.

Hass had been snowmobiling the previous weekend with his cousin Leo and told family members what a wonderful day that had been.

The family now treasures a couple photos from that weekend.

“Bobby was never one to give words and vivid descriptions but he said it was his favourite day; it was the most beautiful day the Saturday before. He said they were snowmobiling all day and it was just gorgeous out. He loved that Saturday,” she said.

They also got pictures of Hass with a bulldozer he had been rebuilding and had just completed on Wednesday.

He was also looking forward to the St. Patrickʼs parade in Douglas.

“He missed the Douglas parade, which would have crushed him, because that was his plan,” Davis noted.

The son of James and the late Theresa Hass, he is survived by his wife Carol Brisbois and daughters Sarah Wilson (Chris Olmstead) and Maggie Wilson.

He is also survived by sisters Susan (Terry Steele), Jenny (Peter Quevillon), Anne (Brennan Trainor), Brenda (Chad Davis), grandmother Rose Hass, and many aunts, uncles and cousins.

People had the option of donating to Groves Park Lodge or The Bob Hass Memorial Fund.

The memorial fund is care of the Pinnacle Animal Hospital and donations to the cause will provide financial aid for pet owners in need of assistance.

“This is such a testimony of Bobbyʼs character as he was a lover of all animals, but especially his pet,” his sister Brenda concluded.

He had a heart of gold and this was best shown when he was surrounded by animals.”

“She and her family can never be properly thanked for the time, as the job of fire chief has evolved by circumstance from a part-time to a 24-hour position,” Mayor Emon said.

“Betsy brought clarity to the department and to our community. She and her team have established trust in their ability.

Betsy and her team performed

other areas which support our surgical program,” said hospital president and CEO Pierre Noel in a news release.

The early approval by the Ministry of Health and LongTerm Care means the hospital can proceed through the capital planning and approval stages for these upgrades with the certainty that they will be funded on a cost-shared basis with the province once the ministry has agreed on the scope of the work.

The project will be funded through the ministryʼs Small Hospital Capital Pool for projects valued at less than $10 million. Projects of this nature are typically 90 per cent min-

istry-funded and 10 per cent coverd by the local hospital.

“We anticipate that the planning phase will take several months, followed by open tendering and construction, so we are still in the range of 24 to 36 months away from full completion but that isnʼt really all that long when you consider that these improvements will serve us well for decades to come,” said Noel.

The enhancements will allow for increased surgical volumes.

This will help reduce wait times and allow for additional services close to home, particularly ones related to orthopedic and cancer surgeries.

outstandingly for our community in the Macro Burst in 2012,” the mayor added.

He said experiences shared with other communities have given the fire department an acknowledged recognition for their abilities and accomplishments by their peers in the area.

“We will miss Betsyʼs dayto-day involvement as a manager but she will remain a valued person for information.”

Council will likely appoint

an interim chief and then make a decision as to the model of management needed moving forward, Mayor Emon said.

“There are several options to consider,” Mayor Emon said. “Whichever option is chosen, the focus will need to continue to maintain training, keep the volunteers safe, keep the confidence of the community, meet the legislative requirements and fight fires as they have been doing so very well.”

April Verch has never sounded more comfortable in her skin than she does now, in the second decade of her career as an internationally touring Canadian fiddler, step dancer and singer-songwriter.

Her ninth album, Bright Like Gold, captures a woman whoʼs fleshed out her identity and is in full command of her gifts, a woman whoʼs grown from a prodigy into an enduring artist—one of musicʼs most unforgiving public transitions — with grace and grit to spare.

The April Verch Band — rounded out by bassist and clawhammer banjo player Cody Walters and guitarist Hayes Griffin, who has a Masters in jazz improv from the New England Conservatory — is an energetic, virtuosic, tradition-celebrating outfit.

Their thrilling grand finale – which

Grand Masters Fiddling Competition, or even the fact that she represented Canadaʼs fiddling tradition by performing in the Opening Ceremonies at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games.

Something else thatʼs downright impressive is the range of material Verch, Walters and Griffin inhabit on the new album.

Sheʼs so fluent in folk traditions—the Canadian ones she was born into and the American ones she later found her way to — that old fiddle tunes like those featured in the Canadian medley Dusty Miller, Fiddle Fingers and Grizzly Bear and the Appalachian medley Edward in the Treetop, Yellow Jacket and Quit That Ticking Me sound positively reinvigorated. Originals like her instrumental waltz Morris & Boris and country courting number The Only One are clearly made to last.

Renfrew found ineligible for infrastructure support Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

The Town of Renfrewʼs application for an Expression of Interest (EOI) with the Municipal Infrastructure Investment Initiative (MIII) Program has been turned down.

The town was advised by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs in February that it was not eligible to move forward to the application phase of the MIII program.

Council was told they did not meet the requirements.

The project identified by the town as the most important was the rehabilitation of Queen Street from Lisgar to Patrick streets. The project cost is $1,465,000.

The town was going to put up $525,000 while the remaining $940,000 would have come from the Ministry of Infrastructure.

Director Mike Asselin said that the EOI submitted by the town was a strong one and questioned how applications were evaluated.

Scott Pegg of the Ministry of Infrastructure explained the evaluation was based on

three levels – criticality of the project, commitment to asset management and financial circumstances.

Pegg indicated that Renfrew did very well in the areas of commitment and asset management, and financial circumstances.

But criticality of the project was considered the most important component of the evaluation. Renfrewʼs EOI fell short on health and safety.

The fact that the town combined work on the water lines with a road project at the same time seemed to almost hurt Renfrewʼs eligibility for an application, treasurer Keray OʼReilly said.

“Iʼm not sure if the philosophy is that weʼre supposed to go down and fix the water line, put the road back together and in five years tear the road back up and redo it; where our project was, once you tear it up, do the water, do the sewer, and do the road when it is supposed to be done.

“We also questioned about the level of funding that we asked for, if that was a pro or a con, if that hurt us in any way.

They said absolutely not,” added OʼReilly.

“The exact expression that they used was, ʻwe like to see the fact that the town had some skin in the gameʼ which meant that we werenʼt looking for 90 per cent or 100 per cent funding. We asked for 64 per cent which, of course, in our justification we were trying to explain to them. We only asked for 64 because that is the critical part of the project.”

Of 400 EOIʼs submitted, only 130 were deemed eligible to advance to the application stage.

There is $90 million in funding, so now there are 130 municipalities trying for a chunk of $90 million, OʼReilly added.

“This is for 2013. It there a 2014 process the same again?,” asked Coun. Jim Miller.

“They havenʼt announced that yet,” OʼReilly said, adding, it will depend on their budget.

The Queen Street project will be reassessed in Renfrewʼs budget.

EDITORIAL

Land claim needs to be settled It seems as if some folks need a history lesson.

Judging by comments in recent meetings to update the public on the Algonquin land claims negotiations, as well as responses to opinion polls on the issue, there is a sentiment that there shouldnʼt even be a land claim process.

Hopefully, those who feel that way are in the minority. However, if it is a widespread view, itʼs a sad statement on the lack of knowledge when it comes to our own history.

Not only is settling the Algonquin land claim the right thing to do, the courts have made it clear Canada and Ontario have a legal obligation to do so.

Itʼs not as if this came out of the blue. The Algonquins in Eastern Ontario have been seeking a land claim settlement since 1772, but it took the government 220 years to finally admit that they have a right to a deal like other bands across the country.

Even then, it took another 15 years for talks to begin in earnest, in what most legislators agree is a long-overdue process.

If the Algonquins had been able to strike a land claims deal 200 years ago before this area became populated, they would have no doubt received much more land then they appear willing to accept now. For they have stressed that they are not after private property, but Crown land on which to foster economic and cultural development.

Because itʼs been left for so long, itʼs not an easy process. However, the uncertainty caused by the land claim needs to be lifted with an agreement

based on respect and understanding, not greed and intolerance.

Nothing is etched in stone yet, but the agreement-in-principle reached to guide the talks as the two sides slowly move towards a final deal appears to be relatively fair to all concerned.

Neverthless, the devilʼs in the details, so all those affected by the agreement, including the Algonquins, should remain vigilant as the negotiations continue. But they should do so armed with facts, not myths or racial bias.

Anyone who thinks the Native Indians of Canada have received a ʻfree rideʼ should visit northern reserves to see what governments have imposed on them. The reserve system has been a disaster and Native Canadians deserve compensation that will allow them to make a fresh start.

There have also been fears expressed that the Algonquins will use land awarded them to block others out of fishing areas and hunt camps. Thatʼs misguided. Blockades and protests are more likely to happen if governments shy away from their land claim obligations.

Ironically, some of those most loudly expressing fears about Native blockades are past and present members of the ʻback off governmentʼ crowd who used blockades so frequently themselves to drive home their messages.

Those who want to deny any meaningful land claim progress should back off and let an historic wrong finally be rectified.

COLUMN

Douglas and DACA celebrate LUCY HASS View from The ‘Frew St. Patrickʼs celebrations were marked across the region on the weekend, at bars and Legion halls and homes from Calabogie to Cobden. But Douglas and Dacre remain the anchors for local Irish revellers.

Friday night the Douglas Lions Club hosted its second annual St. Patrickʼs parade and more than 50 floats wove their way through the tiny hamlet, launching two more days of celebration at the Douglas Tavern.

Saturday action shifted to the Dacre and Area Community Association hall for another packed-hall party.

I love the spirit of St. Patrickʼs Day, the same way I enjoy Oktober-

fest every autumn, because anything that brings people together in song and dance canʼt be wrong.

That and because my family roots are firmly planted in both local topoʼ-the-morninʼ locations.

My great grandparents August (1834-1918) and Bridget (Schurr) (1836-1925) Hass are buried at the St. Michaelʼs Church cemetery in Douglas; while grandparents Martin and Elizabeth (Preen) Hanniman rest at Mount St. Patrick Parish.

So as I drove cross-county to photograph celebrations for The Mercury this past weekend, I couldnʼt help but whisper a quick thank you to my pioneer ancestors who blessed me with this beautiful Renfrew County home.

Whatever your ancestry, now thatʼs something to celebrate.

SPRING HOPES ETERNAL

Thereʼs an old saying that hope springs eternal, but as the season of rebirth arrived at 7:02 a.m. yesterday, my spring hopes were eternal.

Hope for warm days and leisurely nights by the campfire.

Hope the perennials will soon start spouting their fresh, tiny shoots.

Hope there wonʼt be flooding.

Hope Iʼll catch a pickerel.

Hope last summerʼs skirts will fit.

On my 40th birthday, a friends gave me a tiny book by H. Jackson Brown Jr. titled On Hope.

In this season of rejuvenation, here are a few of my favourites: • “When facing a difficult task, act as though it is impossible to fail. If you are going after Moby Dick, take along the tartar sauce.”

• “The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but obtainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope.”

• “If you have ever planted a seed, you know the power and promise of hope.”

Have a happy, and hopeful, spring.

Lennox-Frontenac-Lennoxand-Addington MPP Randy Hillier is also urging his constituents to let their opinions be known on land claims. “ThereĘźs one concern that IĘźve heard loud and clear from my constituents and from people even outside of the riding,â€? he says in a release. “There is a concern that no matter how good the agreement is, it will be deďŹ cient because the OPP may refuse to enforce the rule of law. “ThatĘźs why I sent a letter to the OPP and the negotiating teams requesting that the OPP be signatory to the Algonquin Land Claim. “ItĘźs unfortunate that many people have lost faith in the OPPĘźs

She said she welcomed the statement by negotiators that they will return to Renfrew County for another session to continue the consultation process in the community. “It is important to note that this process of consultation in the treaty-making process is unprecedented,�

Gallant said. “In the past, treaties would be negotiated and signed, in secret and then presented to the public as a Ęťdone dealĘź. “I insisted to our Federal Minister of Aboriginal Affairs the top-down approach of the old government was not acceptable to the people of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke.

Gallant encouraged constituents to continue to contact her about their concerns. “At the end of the day we all have to live together. This is what this process is all about,� she said.

RenfrewNipissingPembroke MP Cheryl Gallant has praised her ridingĘźs residents for speaking out on the Algonquin land claim issue, but asks them to do so with respect, tolerance and understanding.

She addressed the issue in a news release last Friday, the day after more than 200 people attended a public meeting in Pembroke to hear details of the agreement-in-principle that will guide the ďŹ nalization of the land claims over the next few years. “I see tremendous opportunity once a treaty is signed and the uncertainty these negotiations have created in our community is lifted, to move on for the good of all the people who call the upper Ottawa Valley their home,â€? she said.

The meeting for Renfrew County residents is one of a series being held around Eastern Ontario and in Toronto. As about 80 per cent of the 117,500 acres of Crown land proposed to be transferred to the Algonquins is in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, it makes Renfrew County the area most directly affected by the proposed settlement. “I am pleased to note that from the outset of the land claim negotiations, the Algonquins have emphasized that together we are a community,� said Gallant. “Concerns will be worked out as

A look at vanishing Learning how to live with coyotes Canadian waterways Ole Hendrickson Ottawa River Watershed

10 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, March 21, 2013

of legislation, and that Transport Canada was even reviewing projects on “a temporary creek created by spring runoff that dries up within a month or two.”

According to CBC News, the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities led the 10-year effort to replace the act.

Members were fed up with the red tape imposed by Transport Canada in replacing old bridges with culverts. Their lobbying efforts continued even after the government brought in amendments in 2009 that excluded such “minor works.”

The act now applies to only three Saskatchewan waterways and the rural municipalities are “ecstatic”.

But not all analysts agree that this is about eliminating what Transport Canada refers to as “pointless assessments”.

Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party of Canada, characterizes the act as Canadaʼs “first environmental law”: one that created “Canadiansʼ historic right to navigate the lakes, rivers, and streams of Canada without being impeded by pipelines, bridges, power lines, dams, mining and forestry equipment, and more.”

A Green Party backgrounder notes that before the federal government changed the act, “any body of water deemed navigable could be accessed to the high water mark without that being considered trespassing.”

This opens up a whole new area for legal wrangling. If the federal government hasnʼt listed a waterway do you still have a right to use it? Was the new act justified? Will it change the way you use Renfrew County waterways?

Ole Hendrickson is a forest ecologist and current president of the Ottawa River Institute (www.ottawariverinstitute.ca), a non-profit charitable organization based in the Ottawa Valley.

to existing natural areas.

They do adapt to making good use of bordering habitat, so it is important to learn the few basic rules in co-existing with them.

In our climate, coyotes will be seen more frequently around our properties during late fall and winter because they are following their primary food source of mice. And, as we all know, mice seek shelter around our homes and sheds during the cold winter months.

Another significant percentage of

a coyoteʼs diet consists of fruit like crab apples and berries.

It is the reason they are attracted to our properties in the fall and winter months.

• Donʼt feed coyotes.

• Keep pets safe.

• Discourage bold coyotes.

• If you encounter a coyote while walking, make noise until he retreats.

Many people are asking what is behind the Conservative governmentʼs replacement of the Navigable Waters Protection Act by the Navigation Protection Act in the recent “omnibus” budget bill, and how it will affect our use of lakes and rivers in Canada.

Parliament passed the Act in 1882 at the end of Sir John A. Macdonaldʼs third term as prime minister. For 130 years the federal government used the Act to regulate construction of bridges, dams or other structures that might interfere with movement of watercraft.

Neither the original act nor subsequent amended versions precisely defined a “navigable waterway.”

However, in 1906, the Supreme Court of Canada held that any water that was navigable and could float a canoe – or a log – was within the actʼs scope.

This gave federal protection to the Ottawa Valley log drives that were so important to Canadaʼs early commercial development and international trade.

The Ontario Superior Court of Justice summarized these previous legal rulings in 2011.

A waterway must be capable in its natural state of being traversed by watercraft such as a canoe.

The waterway could be used to float logs, log-rafts and booms.

The waterway could be navigable over part of its course and not navigable over other parts.

And it need not be actively used for navigation as long as it had the potential to be so used.

The new act makes radical changes. It lists 97 lakes and 62 rivers (or parts thereof) that will receive federal oversight: a vanishingly small fraction of Canadaʼs millions of lakes and tens of thousands of rivers.

Transport Canada describes three criteria used to develop the new list: the waterway must

support heavy commercial and/or recreational navigation, only actively used portions can be listed, and it should be accessible by ports and marinas in proximity to heavily populated areas.

Exactly how many lakes and rivers were dropped from federal protection?

A Natural Resources Canada website formerly said that more than 30,000 lakes greater than three square kilometres in area are found in Canada. However, “To better serve Canadians, the Atlas of Canada recently re-organized its website …

As a result, many pages have been removed…”

The few remaining federally protected waterways include the Petawawa River from the Barron River to the Ottawa River. One wonders, did Transport Canada officials bring canoes to Petawawa and shoot the rapids to prove this can be done?

The Ottawa River itself is the only other Renfrew County waterway listed.

In practical terms, this means that the dam currently proposed for the Petawawa will receive federal scrutiny, but the one proposed for the Bonnechere will not.

Other Ontario waterways that made the list include Kemptville Creek, Big Duck Pond, Pollywog Lake, Lovesick Lake, and Dowʼs Lake in Ottawa, a small widening of the Rideau Canal.

A November 2012 backgrounder from the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters lists five major concerns with the new act.

Notably, the act fails to acknowledge “the importance of navigation to recreational fishing and hunting and devalues the overall socioeconomic importance of the recreational fishing and hunting industry in Canada.”

Why did the government make these changes?

A federal website says that the act was “one of Canadaʼs most antiquated pieces

Coyotes are common throughout North America, including inurban areas.

You may see and hear them more during mating season (Dec-Feb) and when juveniles are dispersing from family groups (Sept-Nov).

Coyotes will also be more evident when their habitat has been disturbed due to new development or alteration

New restaurant embodies Greek native’s love of food Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Think of Greece, and you think of centuries-old architecture, beautiful beaches and, of course, food.

Just ask Greek-born Tim Karras of Renfrew, who came to Canada as a six-year-old and for whom food remains a treasured connection to his homeland.

In fact, since his first job as a teenager, he has continued to work in nothing but the restaurant business, as a bus boy, water, manager and chef. Now 54, heʼs starting his own restaurant, with deeply Greek and Renfrew connections.

His first, and most recent, jobs were at Renfrewʼs Flamingo Dining Lounge, where he came to work as a teenager when it was called Swingers.

BEGINNING IN RESTAURANT BUSINESS

Karrasʼs dad sent him to Peter Tsarouchasʼs restaurant, so he could work out his life after having a few personal issues in Montreal. About 40 years later, Karras remembers that first day in Renfrew.

He got off the Greyhound bus late at night, walked over to Swingers, and walked in the door, only to see a chair thrown over his head.

There was a fight going on, but the restaurant was also where Karras later found peace and stability.

He started cooking for customers, and he ended up marrying Ruth, one of the customers.

Years later, Karras looks back on that time, and other jobs related to the restaurant business that brought him work in Renfrew, Calabogie, Arnprior and, one of his foodfavourite city in the world, Montreal, where places of employment included the prestigious Ritz Carlton.

And what better place to learn than Montreal, which Karras calls the food city of the world.

“There is no other place in the world that has more

restaurants and better food than Montreal. Not even New York,” he says.

Borrowing a few chapters from his several food experiences in Montreal, Karras says his food will be homemade and always fresh.

“I will not serve anything unless itʼs homemade and fresh,” says Karras. “My name will be based on that.”

He says heʼs also trying to make it cheaper to eat in his restaurant than at home for many foods, citing the example of a 10-piece, extra-large pizza for $22.95.

THREE SPECIALTIES

He also stresses that customers will get to try three basic Greek specialties with unique and appealing taste.

One — specific Greek foods, such as stuffed peppers, ovenbaked chicken with lemonated potatoes, and salads. Two — grilled subs. And three — Montreal-style pizza.

“Iʼm trying to do a different taste here,” says Karras, who says his subs have a different taste because of the grilling process, use of charcoal, sauce and high-end ingredients.

“The Greek food is all my momʼs recipes passed on from generation to generation.

Theyʼre probably 200 years old. Theyʼre very authentic,” he adds.

“Food and I. I love eating food, and I love eating Greek food, maybe because I grew up in my momʼs kitchen. So Iʼm cooking (for customers) what I love to eat.”

The restaurantʼs pizza also has deep Greek, and Montreal, links.

Refusing to reveal the pizzaʼs specific ingredients, he will say the recipe came from his cousin Cristo in Laval, Que., just a few months ago.

Karrasʼs dad used to take the family to the northern Montreal suburb every Sunday years ago, when Tim fell in love with the pizza.

“He would only charge us half-price because my dad was cheap,” he remembers.

While remaining vague,

Karras says the dough and the tomatoes in the sauce are different.

“A few places in Montreal have also copied his pizza, so thatʼs why I call it Montreal pizza,” he adds.

Several years ago, Tim and Ruth Karras and their children lived in Montreal, but they returned to Renfrew to find the home that will remain home.

“Home is whatever you feel it is. I am a perfect example,” says Karras.

“This is home to me … when I moved back here, I realized this was the place to be, to bring up kids … Everybody knows everybody. People are friendly. You fall down on the street, somebody is going to pick you up. In the city, theyʼre too busy, theyʼll step over you and keep on going.”

“Iʼm in love with the town.

I fell in love with the town years ago, and I will die here, no matter what.”

As for the menu at Karrasʼ Way Restaurant, the focus is on pickup and delivery, but thereʼs still room for about 28 people to sit and eat in a restaurant bearing the colours of the Greek national flag — blue and white.

Gluten-free choices with Wheatless Wonders steve.newman@metroland.com

Endangered Species chocolate, Maison Orphée mustard, Pamela’s peanut butter cookies and Gultino bread crumbs are just some of the offerings on the shelves at 204 Raglan St. South.

Wheatless Wonders opened its doors March 9, as the home of gluten-free food. These products are intended to provide nutritional answers for those suffering from celiac disease and similar food allergies or intolerances.

Owner Sheri Pougnet hopes to help many people in the area who are struggling with food-related issues.

In addition to reading a great deal on the topic, she’s had experience in the nutritional trenches. She has dealt with her own lupus auto-immune deficiencies for years. She became so sick from the lupus that she suffered a stroke two years ago.

Also, one of her two sons, Craig, was diagnosed with celiac disease, which prevents one from properly digesting and processing gluten-based products.

Gluten is typically found in wheat and other grain foods. These foods include flour, pasta, breads, food

supplements, spices, desserts, beer, cereals and even some toothpaste.

As the literature says, those with celiac disease are also more likely to suffer from lupus, Addison’s disease, Down syndrome, intestinal cancer, lactose intolerance, thyroid issues and diabetes.

A few days before her business opened March 9, she sat in the store expressing her amazement with how many people in the Renfrew area suffer from celiac disease, or similar nutritional abnormalities.

She doesn’t have celiac disease, but she says she’s definitely intolerant to wheat products.

“My goodness, celiac is rampant in Renfrew, so I’ve found a niche in the market,” exclaims the Renfrew resident.

Past community involvement has helped lead her to the decision to open this business, with the help of financial backing for a year from the Ontario Self Employment Benefit program.

“I can help people. I’ve met many people in distress and helped them on their way,” she says in reference to abused women, pregnant children and people with drug issues since moving to the Ottawa Valley, from Hamilton, more than 20 years ago.

Wheatless Wonders owner Sheri Pougnet displays some of the glutenfree products at her new Renfrew business.

“Some I’ve helped, some I couldn’t,” she says.

“I’m trying to reach the celiac people,” added Pougnet, 50, who hopes to have a positive impact with appropriate food, literature and speakers.

With time, she says the business will house a reading area that offers books or articles for sale, or on loan.

Cooking classes may also be offered.

“Being a small town, these classes could be offered at various people’s homes,” said Pougnet.

Meanwhile, she plans to offer about 300 products within the 1,000-square-foot space that used to be occupied by the Valley Bytes computer store that has moved up the street. In Wheatless Wonders, a new paint job has left the walls red, white and a zesty apple jack

green.

Foods in the store, to mention just a few, include non-gluten based grains or flours such as quinoa and almond flour, teas, spices, beans, soft drinks, cereals, coconut flour, basmati rice, chick peas, lentil chips, organic navy beans, tapioca flour, cookies and chocolate.

Applicants are asked to create a short video describing a turning point their business has reached and the solution that will help them achieve future growth. This video – which need not be professionally produced – should clearly explain the turning point solution, have good image and sound quality and be memorable. All entries have to describe a project that has yet to be implemented.

“All companies reach a turning point,” says Bergeron. “Some may choose to tap into new markets by implementing an internet strategy; others may decide to acquire new equipment that will increase their overall profitability. Recognizing challenges early on and having a plan to tackle individual turning points is important for business and should rank high on an entrepreneur’s agenda.”

Applications must be filled out and submitted online at bdcyoungentrepreneuraward.ca. More information about 2013 BDC Young Entrepreneur Award eligibility criteria, application process, rules and regulations and format of the video submissions is available on the contest’s microsite.

Connected to your community

Lyn Smith Renfrew County Child Poverty Action Network

Renfrew County Child Poverty Action Network (CPAN) is pleased to announce the final tally for money raised at our first annual Festival of Trees Snowflake Gala is $29,378.74. This is an amazing result considering it was the first of many, we expect next yearʼs Fes-

tival of Trees Snowflake Gala to be as successful as, or even more successful than this.

Our thanks go to our wonderful volunteers, special thanks to our hardworking executive committee of Eileen Malette, Noella Stevens, Dave Studham, Doug Steeves and Daniel Hoffman, who worked for months to make this event successful.

Thanks also to Custom Draperies and United Way for providing staffing and time (many hours).

We cannot forget the wonderful and generous businesses that sponsored the event in many ways and last but not least the people that supported the event by attending.

Money raised will help CPAN to continue to support local low income

children and youth through our programs such as Backpack Plus, Operation Snowsuit, etc.

This yearʼs Festival of Trees Snowflake Gala will take place Nov. 30, 2013 at Petawawa Civic Centre.

Please contact us for information regarding sponsorship, volunteering, etc. at 613 735 2374, ext. 250 or visit our website at: www.renfrewcountycpan.ca

Every year the Recreation Department of Renfrew Victoria Hospital Darlene Meleskie and Colton Charbonneau enjoy a organizes a Heritage Week for their square dance. Caller Lola Arnes is in background. patients.

On Feb. 26, the students from the Grade 3 classes of Our Lady of Fatima School joined with the patients to learn the arts of bread making and quilting. The students were divided into two groups with an hour spent at each activity.

BREAD MAKING

Teresa Connaughan was the chief bread maker for the day. Under her expert directions, the bread process was started from scratch. The importance of each ingredient was given, ingredients were measured out and it was a hands-on learning experience with everyone having an opportunity to participate in the process â&#x20AC;&#x201C; measuring, mixing, kneading and shaoing the dough into loaves.

The first loaves of bread were set to rise and were baked before the end of the day. The patients enjoyed the bread fresh from the oven. Teresa was kind enough to have made all 28 students a small loaf of bread to bring home with them. The students were thrilled.

Kayla Winters and Bernie Larocque quilting.

QUILTING

Bernie Larocque taught the students about the art of quilting. With the prepared shamrock pot holders she had made, Bernie taught the students how to quilt around the shape. It was a concentrated effort and the students were very proud of their efforts. Each student took home their completed pot holder.

On March 7, the students from the Grade 6 Adopt-A-Grandparent program learned how to square dance at RVH. Marlene Briscoe organized to have music, dancers and a caller to come into the hospital to lead the activity. An adult dancer was paired with each of the students and with two squares formed, the fun began.

Lola Arnes called the dances.

The activity lasted an hour and the students were quick learners. The patients enjoyed watching the squares and reminiscing about the dances they had participated in. A great time was had by all who participated.

Mount St. Patrick resident Jack Kelly receives a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal from Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant.

Jack Kelly recipient of Queen’s medal Mount St. Patrick resident Jack Kelly is among the latest recipients of the prestigious Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.

MP Cheryl Gallant made the presentation to Kelly March 9.

A news release from the MPʼs office said commemorative medals have been presented throughout Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth IIʼs 60th anniversary of the accession to the Throne on Feb. 6, 1952.

“Jack Kelly devoted 19 years of continuous service to the AdmastonBromley Township as a member of council. He was always respectful of ratepayers and was openminded to ideas and concerns. His phone line was

available for residents, and he would travel to their homes to discuss their concerns if that was their preference,” Gallant said.

Kelly is also involved with the Renfrew County Private Landowners Association, formerly as vice-president. He joined the RCPLA in 1999, and continues as a member today, Gallant added.

“He has offered his time at many different functions on behalf of the Renfrew County Private Landowners Association.

He has a strong belief in helping others understand their rights,” Gallant said.

“It is an honour to recognize Jack Kelly for his worthy contributions to his peers, his community and to Canada.”

New drought deadline June 14 The funding deadline for the 2012 Canada-Ontario Forage and Livestock Transportation Assistance Initiative has been extended to June 14, 2013.

The program is for Ontario livestock breeders facing severe forage shortages as a result of last summerʼs dry weather.

In a March 15 news release, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant acknowledged the leadership of local agriculture producers in bringing their concerns forward.

The deadline to transport forage under the program has been extended by 11 weeks.

“Farmers will now have until June 1, 2013 to transport forage, and then until June 14, 2013 to submit their forms,” the release said.

Livestock producers are

eligible for up to $0.14 per tonne, per kilometre to assist with the transportation of forage, or up to $0.075 per kilometre, per animal, to move animals to available feed.

“I worked very hard to inform our federal government agriculture minister Gerry Ritz of the severity of our local situation,” said Gallant.

The release said Renfrew County was the worst-hit drought area in 2012, with a drop in forage production by as much as 50 per cent.

“Poor pasture conditions forced some producers to feed their first cur of hay in July and August, which meant they had less available for winter feeding,” Gallant said.

Sixty per cent of the program is funded by the federal government.

Can you recall all the years being taught from an early age to keep your teeth healthy by brushing? After so many years, the routine of dental care has just become second nature to us.

But what about the dental care for our furry companions? Dental health generally goes unnoticed for pets until foul-smelling breath is recognized or when a dental cleaning has been recommended by your vet.

Periodontal disease is the most common infectious disease in cats and dogs. Symptoms generally consist of bad breath, difficulty chewing; excessive drooling; oral pain or discomfort; swollen, bleeding gums and lost or loose teeth. This disease is actually similar to dental disease in humans where the blame is related to poor dental hygiene. There is little difference between humans and pets when it comes to oral hygiene needs.

When dental care has been neglected, buildup of plaque will harden into tartar along teeth and promote bacterial growth along the gum line. A major concern for pets is the potential of this bacteria entering their bloodstream and spreading to major organs; particularly the heart, liver and kidneys.

Studies have shown that 80 per cent of pets will have some form of periodontal disease by the age of three years.

With proper care and treatment, it is possible for our pets to maintain healthy teeth and gums. Regular removal of plaque is the most effective way to maintain healthy oral hygiene.

Brushing your petʼs teeth is highly recommended for the best results of reducing plaque. When brushing, ensure you use toothpaste specially formulated for pets. Now, not every pet owner can commit or will be able to brush their petʼs teeth regularly. When brushing isnʼt possible, there are other alternatives available.

Feeding your pet hard food instead of soft food will help to remove plaque as they chew. Specialized formulated diets are available at veterinary clinics that have been clinically proven to aid in oral hygiene. These diets consist of large kibbles that brush your petʼs teeth as they chew and contain ingredients that help reduce plaque from forming.

Your petʼs teeth can also benefit from daily chewing of products such as dental treats, chews, toys and the use of dental rinses. If dental disease has progressed over a few years, a dental cleaning may be the best treatment option for your pet.

Veterinary clinics provide dental cleanings. Petʼs teeth are scaled to remove tartar, polished with a special paste and examined for any issues that may need treatment. Fortunately, periodontal disease can be treated and even prevented with help from your veterinary clinic and consistent home dental care.

Through a daily oral hygiene plan, you can improve your petʼs overall health and help them to have longer and happier lives.

More information on dental health and recommended dental products can be found by contacting your veterinary clinic and at www.vohc.org.

Bishop welcomes new Pope Francis

Here is Where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Happening

March 14, 2013, statement of Bishop Michael Mulhall, Bishop of Pembroke, on the occasion of the election of Pope Francis.

It is with great joy and thanksgiving that the Diocese of Pembroke has received the news of the election of Pope Francis as the new Bishop of Rome and Supreme Pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church.

This is a moment of great rejoicing and an historic moment for the Church.

For the first time in history a Pope has been chosen from the Americas and we in North America feel a close affinity to this historic moment.

I join the faithful, religious and priests of the Diocese of Pembroke, and all people of good will in offering our humble prayers for the Holy Father as he begins his ministry to the Universal Church and to the world.

May he be blessed with many years of health.

Jockey is about much more than underwear.

The label best known for undergarments showcased another side at a fundraiser for Renfrew Victoria HospitalĘźs Call to Action recently.

Jockey senior comfort specialist Deb McGregor presented JockeyĘźs diverse line of ladiesĘź wear from jackets and tunics to skirts and pants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;IĘźm very proud to support Renfrew Victoria Hospital and the Call to Action. IĘźm very, very happy to help them out,â&#x20AC;? she said, noting all three of her children were born at the Renfrew hospital.

While she is already involved in the family business â&#x20AC;&#x201C; McGregorĘźs Produce in Lochwinnoch â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when her youngest child went off to school she decided to try something new, and joined the Jockey team this past November. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to get the word out about Jockey,â&#x20AC;? said McGregor, who explained how the familyrun, Wisconsin-based business is more than 100 years old.

The company expanded in 2005 to introduce a line of womenĘźs clothing, sold directly to cus-

tomers through home parties.

In 2008 the company came into Canada and has proven popular both out west and in the Maritimes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;ItĘźs slowly trickling up the Upper Ottawa Valley,â&#x20AC;? she noted.

She also cited the three things she loves about Jockey.

2. The hostess reward program.

Salesperson 3. The company. McGregor came from the Cell: 613-401-1839 teaching profession originally, so selling for a company felt foreign at ďŹ rst.

DARE) and the annual Our Lady of Fatima vs. OPP hockey game. Students enjoy a favourite Ottawa Valley pastime while playing against their local heroes!

Current Wolves series brings back memories of days gone by PETER CLARK Peter’s Putterings One thing about the playoffs, they always bring back memories.

This year, for instance, the minute the Wolves defeated the Perth Blue Wings, we knew the Brian Kilrea Arena in Ottawa, known to many as

the Canterbury Arena, would be our next stop.

Right away, the clock in my mind turned back to the last time these two teams met in post-season action.

Would you believe itʼs been 20 years!

The Wolves had ousted Shawville, Arnprior and Perth to win the clubʼs sixth Valley Division title in seven years, and then met the South Ottawa Canadians for the Metro-Valley title.

Renfrew had been swept by South Ottawa in the final season of the Old Barn four years earlier.

But in 1993, there was no stopping the Wolves. They returned the

Miller, Dave OʼConnor and former Wolves defenceman Tom MacMillan kept the squad on the straight and narrow while Bryan Patterson was the GM. The series was actually much more competitive than a sweep might lead you to believe.

The Wolves led game 1 at Canterbury 6-2, but left their third-period legs at the two-day Valley Division victory party.

A McKechnie goal midway through the third period rescued a Renfrew victory – 7-6.

The next two games were at MaTe-Way.

The Wolves took game 2 by a 4-2 count on a couple of third-period goals.

Game 3 was decided when the Gorr boys combined with linemate Crisostomo for the game winner in overtime.

Itʼs hard to believe, but unless Iʼm mistaken, itʼs been 20 years since Iʼve been at the Canterbury Arena, (until this week) and Iʼm sure many other Wolves fans can say the same.

My last memory there was a good one – Kevin Klawitter scoring with under three minutes remaining to give Renfrew a 2-1 win and the sweep of Ottawa in 1993.

Fulton’s finalists in Kingston tourney Ottawa outlasts Wolves in Metro-Valley Conference opener Peter Clark

peter.clark@metroland.com

Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

When the Ottawa Junior Canadians jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the opening period of the first game of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey Leagueʼs Metro-Valley Conference championship series Saturday night, maybe it left Renfrew fans wondering if the Wolves would be able to compete against the 2013 Metro champs.

The Canadians had built their lead without much resistance from a flat-footed looking Renfrew team, and goaltender Matt Gagne was left high and dry a few times.

But from the time Casey Doner scored to get the Wolves on the scoreboard, the game suddenly had a different look to it. Doner walked in, made a deke and flipped a high backhander past Ottawa netminder Matt Couvrette late in the period.

The Wolves matched the Canadians on the scoresheet the rest of the way.

But the early 3-0 lead proved too much to overcome.

OTTAWA 6, WOLVES 4

Former Arnprior Packer sniper Taylor Collins – he of 300 career points in his junior hockey career – had two goals, as did Jamie Molinski and Jordan Fequet to lead the Canadians in game one at the Brian Kilrea (Canterbury) Arena.

Collins also added an as-

sist on Fequetʼs game clincher with 4:51 remaining in the third period. The goal came after Renfrew had twice pulled to within one goal.

Scott Conroy had a pair of goals for the Wolves, both in the third period.

Doner and defenceman Erik Mask added singles.

Down 3-1 after 20 minutes, the Wolves did a better job at generating scoring chances in the middle frame.

But penalties hurt as the Wolves were forced to kill off three in a row.

Fequet eventually upped the Ottawa lead to 4-1 when he one-timed a drive past Gagne, who had no chance on the play, with 1:07 left in the middle stanza.

Gagneʼs play in the second period was highlighted by some outstanding stops as the Canadians fired 15 shots.

Backed by a cheering throng of noisy Renfrew fans, the Wolves struck to two early goals in the final session.

Conroy scored his first at 2:19, and Mask followed suit at 5:53 to narrow the gap to 4-3.

However, Collins answered just nine seconds later to restore a two-goal Ottawa lead at 5-3.

The goal bent, but didnʼt break the Wolves. Conroy took a Mask feed and solved Couvrette through the pads on a breakaway only 53 seconds later. Now it was 5-4.

However, the Wolves caught a bad break when a

Renfrew defender fell, which created a 2-on-1 break for the city team.

Fequet took a Collins feed and made no mistake, rifling a shot to the top corner.

WOLVES HOWLINGS

Despite their nasty start, the Wolves twice drew to with a goal in the third period.

That should give them some confidence for game 2. It was played Monday night at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

There is no word on the positive side as to if or when Jesse Riopelle and/or Drew Anderson might return.

The Wolves will have to forge ahead without them.

These two teams met twice in the regular season. Ottawa won 7-5 in Renfrew, and 5-2 at Ottawa.

When Ryan Eady wore the C in Riopelleʼs absence during the clinching of the Valley Division title March 10 in Perth, it meant Eady captained the last two division champions with two different teams.

He was the captain of the Arnprior Packers last year.

The series continued with games Monday and Tuesday of this week.

Game four is Friday at the MAC. Game time is 8 p.m.

Game five is Tuesday, March 26 in Ottawa at 7:15 p.m.; Game six Friday, March 29 in Renfrew (Good Friday) at 7:30 p.m.; and game seven Saturday, March 30 in Ottawa at 7:15 p.m. if necessary.

B.R. Fulton Construction winged its way to the A final of a Kingston peewee house hockey tournament last weekend.

The Renfrew squad cruised past Kingston-area teams 11-0 and 13-0, and also lost a 2-1 decision in division play.

They then won the semifinal 4-1 on a quartet of Nicholas Wright goals before losing the final 2-0.

Wright finished with 12 goals in the tournament.

Darin Verch added six and Brett Clouthier four. Carter Haaima chipped with three goals, Ethan Joudrey a pair and Hunter Muselak and Cody Mackin one each. Joudrey also supplied three assists in the semifinal.

Mason Lynch went the distance in goal. His two shutouts give him nine.

Renfrew’s Randy Pender in the running Cybulski’s strikes in overtime for Kraft Hockey Goes On contest Peter Clark

Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Despite the National Hockey League lockout preventing Kraft Hockeyville from running its regular contest, it wasnʼt about to stop Kraft from running another contest.

The contest is called Kraft Hockey Goes On. The object was to submit a name of a person in your community, and share stories on how they make hockey go on.

Now, 100 finalists have been selected.

“It was tough, but our panel of judges narrowed it down to 100 finalists,” says the Kraft Hockey Goes On website.

And a well-known employee at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre is right in the middle of it.

Randy Pender is still in contention.

With the support of many, Kim Greer got his nomination rolling, and it can be found on the Kraft Hockey Goes On website, and here: I nominate Randy as the #1 person in Renfrew who makes hockey go on!

Randy works at the rink daily overseeing all maintenance at MaTe-Way Park including the chillers and by taking turns running the Zamboni on the indoor and outdoor ice surfaces when needed.

Randy takes pride in all of his work but it goes way beyond that. Randy has offered top-notch skate sharpening services for years through the Rink Rats Pro Shop and will stop what he is doing within reason to

Randy Pender is still in the running for Kraft Hockey Goes On. help out. He has been instrumental in sponsoring a Renfrew novice house league hockey team for 10-plus years with part of the proceeds from the Pro Shop.

Randy is always there to help any person or team, including visiting teams by loaning equipment that they may have forgotten to bring that day or by opening a locker for a manager or coach that has forgotten their key.

If there is anything you need Randy is the guy to go to. He has also trained his fellow staff well to hold the same high standards and it shows.

Randy has been a volunteer for 10-plus years on the Renfrew Minor Hockey Association board through good times and bad as Ice Allocator and always accepts the position when nominated or appointed. This is no easy task with one indoor ice surface and at least 25 teams vying for ice every year as well as public skating and all other events.

VOTING

Starting at 9 a.m. from March 23 to 24, grab your friends, rally the community, and start voting to help make a hockey dream in Renfrew come true.

The top five Grand Prize winning nominees will be announced April 3.

Each grand prize winning nominee will win $100,000 for their selected minor hockey association.

As well, 20 second prize nominees will win $20,000 to be awarded to their minor hockey association.

Imagine how much hockey equipment, ice time, tournaments and upgrades Renfrew minor hockey can get with that.

For more information, and more importantly, to vote, go to the Kraft Hockey Goes On website.

Even when Randy is not at the rink he will answer emails on his personal email to help with ice scheduling issues or will meet you at the rink personally to resolve situations that arise.

Randy is great with kids of all ages and always shows interest by asking them how their season is going or by mentioning their individual efforts or successes that he is aware of. It makes them feel great to know that others notice and appreciate them.

I am sure there are many more things Randy does for hockey in Renfrew that may go unnoticed and congratulate him on his tireless dedication to this wonderful sport! It’s no contest in my mind that Randy makes hockey go on in Renfrew!

It hasnʼt been a smooth ride in the Renfrew Menʼs Hockey League playoffs for McGrimmon Holdings.

The defending champions were forced to a third game in their best-of-three quarterfinal series against Pitt Contracting.

Juvenile golf championship coming to Renfrew Prize-winning fish worth $250 Scott MacLeod

The Golf Association of Ontario is bringing an Ontario provincial championship to the Ottawa Valley. The Renfrew Golf Club will host the 2013 Ontario Juvenile Golf Championship Aug. 19 to 22.

After making inroads with the Ottawa Valley Golf Association in 2012, when almost 20 member clubs changed their affiliation to the GAO, that presence is expected to grow in 2013.

With that in mind the GAO was striving to bring provincial championships to the region and the Ontario Juvenile Championship will be the first.

Ontarioʼs best male and female junior golfers age 16 and under will flock to eastern Ontario this summer as the Renfrew Golf Club prepares to host the Ontario Boys and Girls Juvenile Golf Championship in August 2013.

The tournament will bring 120 junior golfers to the region for three days of competition to crown the 2013 Ontario Juvenile Boys and Ontario Juvenile Girls champions.

The championship runs biennially opposite the Ontario Summer Games, and will be the first in a succession of major Golf Association of Ontario provincial championships planned to be held in the

Ottawa Valley region over the next several years.

“The Renfrew Golf Club is proud to have been selected to host the 2013 Ontario Juvenile Championship,” said club general manager Sebastien Brown. “This is an exciting opportunity for RGC members to showcase their club as well as their commitment to contributing to the growth of our beautiful game.”

Established in 1929, the Renfrew Golf Club is entering its 84th year of operation in 2013.

All 18 holes were redesigned in 2000, and the course will offer competitors large and challenging bent grass

putting surfaces, characteristic mounding and rolling surrounds in one of the Ottawa Valleyʼs most scenic locales. “We are a memberowned course with a rich history of being a memberdriven golf community,” said Brown. “We look forward to the event and our continued involvement in the provincial junior golf scene.”

A series of qualifying events will be held throughout the province for male and female golfers to gain entrance into the competition.

Remembering a good guy at the curling club Andy Sklepowicz Behind the Glass

There are times when all the regular news about the club suddenly becomes insignificant and this past week was one of those times. It was with shock and great sadness that the news of Charlie Ricardʼs passing was received by all club members.

Charlie was the heart and soul of the club. He was always there. When he wasnʼt curling he was fixing or cooking or tending bar. Whatever needed to be done Charlie did, always with a smile and never a complaint or negative word about anyone or anything.

And he was the same way with his family and in his community, always there when needed and never needing to be asked.

Charlie was always full of life and in his eyes life was good. He was a manʼs man and the ladies loved him.

All the men respected Charlie and all that he stood for and the ladies loved his wit even when it was directed at them. He had a ready smile, a quick joke or a good story.

He had a gift for making everyone feel good about themselves whether you just met him or had known him for many years. And even in the last few years when various ailments slowed that ready smile, Charlie never complained and continued to enjoy his curling and his golf, his fishing and his hunting, and most of all, his family and friends.

I have known Charlie all the years that I have been curling and in that time I have never heard a negative word said about him. How can one go through life and not have a single enemy and only countless friends?

Charlie was such a man and this world has too few such men.

I can only imagine how much Charlie will be missed by Gert, the love of his life.

All I can say is that we will all be there with her and all of us will be missing Charlie too. And despite the loss, his is a life that must be celebrated to the fullest just as Charlie lived it.

I, and all who knew Charlie, consider ourselves tremendously blessed and for any that may not have met him. I only wish that someday a person like him will cross your path and enrich you as we all have been.

Ottawa Valley Food Crop celebrates Feast of the Farms in Eganville convenient way to buy fresh and nutritious food produced locally without having to drive all around the county, as the co-op takes care of bringing your

order as close as possible to your home,” says coop manager Stan Rochat.

Pick-up locations range from Deep River, Barryʼs Bay, Egan-

ville, Petawawa, Renfrew and Arnprior.

The co-op has over 400 consumer members and more than 40 producers offering products such as honey,

beef, pork, lamb, rabbit, sausages, frozen pizzas, prepared dishes and locally made soaps, cosmetics, candles and other household items. In a typical month, over

maple syrup, fair trade coffee and tea, bread, baked goods, jams, jellies, salad dressing, herbs, fresh vegetables, fruits, berries and greens (in season) frozen

1,200 different local items are available.The OVFC promotes and encourages a sustainable food system in which much of the food eaten in the Ottawa Val-

ley is produced close to home.

Local food dollars stay in the valley and contribute to a vibrant and stable local economy.

“If each Ontario family shifts

$10 of their existing weekly food spending to local food, it could increase Ontario food sales by $2.4 billion and create 10,000 jobs,” said Rochat.

Imaginative dishes included Dobson Farms and Rainbow Heritage Gardenʼs grassfed beef and bean chili, organic lamb empanadas from Donegal Heritage Farm, Red Canoe Cafe & Bakery wood-fired artisanal breads and Pizza Farm goat curry pizza.

The latest, his 20th, is Murder at Lake Madison which, like many of his recent novels, is all about motive, mixed messages, mystery and murder.

The main town featured in the book is also fashioned after Renfrew, where he attended Renfrew Collegiate Institute in the 1940s.

“It was a fun book to write, partly because it brought back a lot of memories,” says Hall from his home in Pick-

ering, Ont. Having last visited Renfrew and area about three years ago, Hall added, “I was able to visualize Jeffreyʼs Lake at Haleyʼs and Madison as Renfrew.”

In fact, thereʼs a reference to the local train, in keeping with Hallʼs high school history of taking the 8 a.m. train, from Haley Station into Renfrew, and returning by 6 p.m., on the same train. Heʼd then pick up his bike at nearby Aunt Eva Scobieʼs place, and cycle back home along Queensline.

Hall says some of the main characters in his latest book are borrowed from decades ago, including an RCI

cluded biographies of several entertainers, including TV bios of Paul Anka, Englebert Humperdinck and Gordon Lightfoot, and print biographies of Patsy Cline and The Mamas & The Papas.

The latest of his 20 books, in order, are Speak Up! Itʼs Murder; Murder & The Minden Star;

family moved to Pembroke in the year 2000 where he attended Fellowes High School and was a graduate in the Class of 2008.

After high school, he obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry at Queenʼs University and now in his first year of medicine, he wants to share his experience with other students.

The Pre-Med Club was created for local high school students and others who have a genuine interest in medicine. In order to meet the recruitment committeeʼs goal of attracting local physicians, medical students and residents to our area, this club was designed to offer encouragement, guidance and mentoring to local students and to aid them in preparation for a career as a doctor.

No advance registration is required to attend the meeting.

erating his career as a novelist, Hall hosted nationally syndicated show, Anatomy of Living, on the Life Channel. He also hosted The Doug Hall Show and Bestsellers on CHCH-TV in Hamilton.

Years later, Hall uses two family members, who are retired police officers, for feedback on the details and

Is medical school for you?

Learn first-hand what first year in medical school is like when the PreMed Club meets March 26.

If a career in medicine peaks your interest itʼs time you joined the PreMed Club. Sponsored by the Upper Ottawa Valley Medical Recruitment Committee, the Pre-Med Club is open to anyone interested in attending medical school.

On Tuesday, March 26, the group will host its second meeting of the year in the board room at Pembroke Regional Hospital (1st floor, Tower C) from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. with special guest speaker Justin Godbout.

Godbout is a first-year medical student at the University of Ottawa and a proud past-member of the Pre-Med Club. When it began six years ago, Godbout was among the first students to experience what the club offers.

student who fancied himself as quite a ladiesʼ man.

The plot in Murder at Lake Madison circles around teenager Billy Andersonʼs boast that he would seduce the beautiful Nancy Madison after her 16th birthday.

The boast earns him the nickname, The Madison Stud, but a lot more trouble when her dead body is found floating in the nearby lake.

Anderson is arrested and charged with her rape and murder, as families are split over whether the boy is innocent or not. Swayed by the testimony of Andersonʼs sworn enemy, the jury produces a notguilty verdict.

The killer remains undetermined for 30 years, until the son of the acquitted pleads with the police to reopen the case. The son says his father, whoʼs dying of cancer, wants the persistent cloud of suspicion to be removed.

Enter a disgraced Baptist minister, a mysterious stranger, and Detective-Sgt. William Grant and Const. Kelly Rogers who are assigned the case, and a trail to justice proceeds.

This is the ninth mystery novel written by Hall. He retired from a career in media relations, radio and television in the late 1990s, but has kept a busy journalistic profile since then.

NATURE

Connected to your community

The redwinged blackbirds have arrived in all their splendour The week before St. Patrickʼs Day the male red-winged blackbirds arrived in all their splendour. Red wing patches flashing and their voices calling out to all other red wings to say they had arrived. Unfortunately the temperatures were well below freezing and the snow was two feet (60 cm) deep. It did lessen their fervour somewhat and caused them to hide their shoulder patches on all but a few occasions when they felt the urge to display.

The female redwings will not be here for a week or so and then the breeding season will begin in earnest. Until the females arrive (they look like a large sparrow and are heavily streaked with tan and dark brown) the males will continue to give their okalee call and display their red shoulder patches.

Marilyn McNaule, Ron and Brenda Golden, Joyce Ranger, Ruby and Jim Vieland, Shirley and Roger Leith and Mike Noon phoned or sent emails to say they had redwings at their feeders early last week. As one of our first signs of spring,

BEHAVIOUR CHANGE

Hi Jim and Ila: I thought I might share an interesting change in the behaviour of the hawks and owls we have noticed. We own a horse farm at Eganville, and have our share of roost-

ing pigeons in the machine shed and barn.

When I feed and water the horses in the evening, the pigeons are stirred up and hover above the barn. This has attracted a very large owl. I know he has taken his share of birds lately but daytime feathered predators have seemed to pick up on the action. On the weekend I saw several hawks hanging around while I was doing the chores (more in the afternoon). Why after 12 years am I seeing this.

Have the daytime predators picked up on the action from the evening birds? They seem to be “shooting fish in a barrel”. Your thoughts?

Dave Murphy Eganville Dave: Thank you for the email. This is the first time in many years that the hawks and owls have started to migrate north and found very little food. The small mammals, mice, voles and

moles for example are well hidden beneath the snow and ice. As a result the predators have turned to taking other birds and at your farm, pigeons.

Female pigeons that are raising chicks fly more slowly and are easy prey for the hungry predators.

It has been an unusual winter.

BALD EAGLES

Christine Johnston has seen a bald eagle cruising the Madawaska River at Springtown in search of food. The river is open for some distance in the area and any animals and fish that have been killed during the winter have become lodged in the remaining ice and are easy pickings for the eagles.

Sunday Roderick saw a bald eagle cruising the waterways near Bristol Quebec in search of food this week. Eagles are capable of travelling long distances in search of food. Their extremely sharp eyesight gives them the ability to see food items from a great distance and because of their size few other predators will challenge them for food.

ROBINS

David Brown saw his first robin of the new season and he says they are always welcome at any time. He also notes that it is difficult to tell whether they stayed all winter or have just returned from further south.

Winter residents however, look quite stressed and a bit dowdy while the returnees look much fresher after a winter where temperatures are warmer and food more plentiful.

The birds will have to survive on a diet of fruit until insects and grubs are available.

STILL HERE

Marlene Hanneman saw horned larks and a northern shrike, both should be moving on to their breeding grounds shortly.

Tracey Marki has a flock of evening grosbeaks; the mix of males and females is about five males for every three females. There should be equal numbers of males and females as females return from the south.

Cathy and Remick

Campbell have seen horned larks, Bohemian waxwings and snow buntings on South McNaughton Line.

All three should make their way north shortly.

And bluebirds, whitethroated and white-crowned sparrows, song sparrows, fox sparrows and brownheaded cowbirds should also be here before long.

Contemplating summer camps?

Have you consulted with your kids?

SUMMER

Winter is slowly coming to an end and youʼre already starting to consider summer camps for your children.

But before you make a final decision, ask them what they think!

Summer camp is a time for kids to have fun, so the camp you choose should meet their needs, not yours.

You might have a summer science camp in mind, but maybe your kids are thinking more along the lines of swimming, canoeing and singing

CAMPS

around a campfire.

If your children donʼt want to go to a particular summer camp, do you really think they will have a good time?

Throughout the year they have to handle the responsibilities of school, extracurricular activities and homework; summer camp is a special time for them to let loose and just have fun.

So ask your kids what they want to do!

Make a list based on what your kids tell you and start re-

Now’s the time to consider summer camp.

WEEKLY SESSIONS

From June 24th to August 30th Monday to Friday 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM

The joy of summer camp can builds memories for a lifetime.

Would your children enjoy camp?

Some parents wonder if they should send their kids to summer camp. Will they have fun? Will they be safe? Will they survive without my Wednesday night

meatloaf?

In fact, summer camp is a special treat for kids. There are no parents, no homework and no responsibilities. But that doesnʼt mean one summer

camp is just as good as the next.

For kids to get the most of out the experience, it has to satisfy their needs, whether it is discovering new things, improving

their talents, or simply having fun. It should also give kids a chance to be alone with their thoughts once in a while.

There are provincial associations and websites that can help provide you with an appropriate list of camps.

Sweet campside treat to savour Sʼmores is one of the most popular desserts enjoyed around the campfire and at cookouts.

Now you can enjoy the flavour of this delectable dessert without the fuss of toasting marshmallows over an open flame.

Sʼmores history dates back to the early 20th century. While the actual recipe origin is unknown – considering most camping recipes were passed down from generation to generation – the first printed recipe for sʼmores appeared in 1927 in the Girl Scout Handbook.

Sʼmores were popular campside treats because of the portability of ingredients. It was easy to pack a bag of marshmallows, a box of graham crackers and a few bars of chocolate.

The combination of sticky marshmallow, smooth, rich chocolate and crunchy graham crackers provides a perfect melding of flavours.

However, sʼmores werenʼt the first pairing of these ingredients. Mallomar cookies and Moonpies also featured these ideal components. For a delicious dessert, try this Frozen SʼMores Cake recipe.

4 cups vanilla ice cream 4 cups chocolate ice cream 10 or 12 graham cracker squares 1/4 cup melted butter 1/2 tablespoon sugar 1 jar of hot fudge 1 bag mini-marshmallows 2 tablespoons water Vegetable shortening

Enjoy Continued from 36

Many summer camps give kids a chance to push their abilities, to excel and to measure up to

others, whether it be through cultural or sporting activities.

Through these challenges, children learn more about their own strengths and weaknesses and learn how to be at peace

Summer skin care

While skin cancer and sunburn are the most obvious dangers from the sun, there are other hazards as well.

Failure to protect the eyes from UV sun exposure can result in photokeratitis, irrevers-

Crush graham crackers in a zipper-lock bag or pulse in a food processor until made into crumbs.

Add sugar and melted butter to the crumbs, mix and press into the bottom of a spring-form pan. Bake at 350 F for 10 minutes, or until the crust browns a bit.

Soften ice cream by letting it sit out of the freezer for a few minutes. Use a spatula or spoon to spread the chocolate ice cream over the cooled graham cracker crust.

Spread desired amount of fudge topping over the chocolate ice cream. Then spread the softened vanilla ice cream over the fudge layer.

Coat a microwave-safe bowl with a thin layer of shortening. Add most of the marshmallows, reserving a few for garnish, and the water to the bowl. Microwave for about a minute to a minute and a half until the marshmallows are melted.

Top the vanilla ice cream with the melted marshmallows. Place the cake in the freezer overnight to harden.

When ready to serve, place the garnish marshmallows on top and drizzle with a little melted hot fudge.

You can use a kitchen torch or a barbecue lighter to add a little browning to the garnish marshmallows to make them look like they were toasted over a fire.

Slice and enjoy quickly before it melts.

- Metro Creative Graphics with both.

Naturally, these fun and stimulating challenges must be provided in a safe and comfortable environment. Kids who enjoy their time at summer camp will talk about

ible sunburn of the cornea.

While it may cause temporary vision loss, recurrent incidences of photokeratitis can lead to permanent vision loss as well.

(3"/% 306/%4 Life can change in an instant and when a serious mishap occurs, RVH is always prepared to handle emergency cases.

Members of your local emergency care team recently completed a comprehensive Rural Trauma Team Development Course (RTTDC) taught by emergency nursing staff and physicians from the regional trauma centre at The Ottawa Hospital, Civic Campus.

Dr. Kristian Davis, Medical Director of the RVH Emergency Department says the course held on Saturday, February 16, was fully booked and presented a series of live and simulated incidents focused on the assessment, resuscitation and transfer of trauma patients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of the content served as a mini-review for the participants and presented a lot

of new material relevant to practising trauma care in a rural facility,â&#x20AC;? says Dr. Davis.

Seventeen of our emergency room nurses, six local paramedics, one medical student, one respiratory therapist and one of RVHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest physicians, Dr. Jennifer Arcand, took part in the lectures and situational practices.

Dr. Arcand specialized in Emergency Room Care as part of her medical training and says this was a great course focusing on trauma in a rural setting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It put a lot of focus on a team approach to trauma in the emergency department and how everyone plays an important role in trauma management. It allowed us to identify ways that each and every health care provider can contribute to helping stabilize

the trauma patient prior to transfer. It also allowed us to identify any issues we face specifically at RVH that may impact the management of a trauma patient.â&#x20AC;?

She was also impressed to hear RTTDC course coordinator, Melissa Waggot, point out that the trauma cases they have received at The Ottawa Civic Hospital trauma centre from Renfrew have been managed extremely well, â&#x20AC;&#x153;which is a reflection on the excellent staff we have at RVH.â&#x20AC;?

RVH does see high rates of trauma patients when compared to other hospitals in the area according to Waggot, also an Ottawa Civic Hospital Registered Nurse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;RVH is number three out of thirteen hospitals in our LHIN for trauma referrals,â&#x20AC;?

Waggot states.

Once you enter a rural environment, you see that mortality rates increase dramatically, she says. The course teaches the importance of quick transfers from the paramedics, how to stabilize patients and how to transfer to the regional trauma centre.

The course was developed by the Rural Trauma Committee of the American College

of Surgeons and this was the first time it was taught in Eastern Ontario. The Ottawa team is now fully accredited to roll out the program to the other hospitals across the region.

Along with receiving accreditation, the professionals from the Civic also gained behind-the-scenes insights about the emergency procedures at RVH. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One benefit is that we are taking people from our centre and showing them visually what is happening in Renfrew.

They now have more of an understanding from a clinical context when they receive patients at our hospital,â&#x20AC;? says Waggot.

Throughout the day, Dr. Davis says the Renfrew team also created stronger ties among their colleagues in Ottawa. As of March 1, Ottawa began sending reports back to Renfrew on transfer cases, and that feedback about patient outcomes is very valuable, he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that they are willing to do this for us, so we can bring it back to the nursing staff and referring physicians is a fantastic thing.â&#x20AC;?

Since the Town must access homes to test for the presence of lead, we are looking for volunteers to allow the Town of Renfrew staff access to their homes to collect samples.

There will be NO charge to the resident for the testing of the lead sample.

Each sample will total three litres in each location and the regulations obligate the town to advise tenants of the test results as soon as they are available.

The higher risk individuals affected by lead that exceeds the standards are pregnant women, infants and children under the age of 6 years old.

WM. FISHENDEN SCORES: Wm. Fishenden, brother of Tom of the Renfrewites, is this year a player of the Moose Jaw team. That team won the highest place in their district, and thereafter challenged Winnipeg for a try at the Allen Cup, which is to amateur hockey, what the Stanley Cup is to professional, emblematic of the championship of Canada. They did not win against Winnipeg; but Fishenden scored two of the goals they scored.
