Renfrew’s ever-changing landscape A group of children from the day care program at Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church in Renfrew watch with fascination from across the street as heavy equipment transforms the Mac’s Milk property at the corner of Hall and Raglan streets over the March Break. One little spectator (centre) actually jumps for joy with each bucketload dropped. The massive excavation has been a point of interest for people of all ages.

Cancer society looks for your support during Daffodil Month in April peter.clark@metroland.com

The fight against cancer never ends, but annually, one of the most important months for the Canadian Cancer Society is April, which is Daffodil Month.

Daffodil pins will be sold at various locations throughout Renfrew.

Leading up to the fundraising campaign is Daffodil Days, which are March 26, 27 and 28 when the pins are also available at No Frills, Metro, Scotiabank and the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO).

“We are looking for more volunteers for door-to-door and pin sales,” said Renfrew Branch president of the Canadian Cancer Society Ray Beimers.

A good New Year’s resolution, although three months into 2015, is to support the cause, whether volunteering or making a donation, he said.

“It’s also a perfect opportunity to honour the memory of a loved one,” Beimers added.

Money raised during Daffodil Month helps patients living with cancer and their families. Donations fund life-saving research, support services and other important work that means fewer Canadians will be touched by this disease.

Retired employee Kerry White presented a cheque to Beimers for the Canadian Cancer Society Renfrew County for $1,000 from the Scotiabank Employee Volunteer Program.

Employees and new retirees of Scotiabank can apply for up to $1,000 through the program for a worthy cause of their choice.

The $1,000 presented by White rep-

resents Scotiabank’s recognition of White’s volunteer activities and support for the cancer society in the community.

The number of new cancer cases continues to rise steadily as the Canadian population grows and ages.

Almost half of all Canadians are expected to develop cancer in their lifetime. It is the leading cause of death in this country.

While these statistics are sobering, progress has been made against cancer, the Canadian Cancer Society website said.

Today, more than 60 per cent of Canadians diagnosed with cancer will

survive at least five years after their diagnosis. In the 1940s, survival was about 25 per cent.

To volunteer during Daffodil Month, call Ray Beimers at 613-432-0705 or the Canadian Cancer Society Renfrew County office in Pembroke at 613735-2571.

You can also go online to help by registering for daffodil pin site sales at http:// renfrewcountydaffodils. myccsschedule.ca/events/ index.

“It’s really great because volunteers can simply follow the link, register, and then choose a shift to sign up for,” Beimers noted.

and identify areas for quality improvement.

Krajewski explained that the program will allow the hospital to monitor outcomes after surgery, including rates of wound infection, bladder infection, pneumonia and cardiac complications among other things. “By monitoring these results, hospitals have been able to implement quality improvement to reduce all of these outcomes. This improve outcomes for patients and, in turn, reduces health care costs for hospitals. This is the first nationally validated, risk-adjusted, outcomesbased program to measure and improve the quality of surgical care. NSQIP is designed to help hospitals improve surgical care through the use of risk-adjusted clinical data.

The program will place hospitals in the national lead in providing high-quality, effective surgical care.”

Our hospital has an overall commitment to quality stated Randy Penney, RVH President and CEO, adding, “I want to congratulate our surgical team and Dr. Krajewski for taking this initiative.”

Renfrew Victoria Hospital has been selected to participate in an internationally recognized program to measure and improve the quality of surgical care.

RVH was one of 15 successful applicants who responded to an invitation from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program–Ontario (NSQIP-ON) to participate in an 18-month quality improvement initiative. The NSQIP-ON is supported by the Ontario Association of General Surgeons and Health Quality Ontario, and is a collaborative network that allows hospitals to share surgical best practices, compare results and experiences, learn from one another and network among peers. Originally established by the American College of Surgeons, the program enables the standardized capture of surgical data and comparison between different organizations with the overall goal of improving surgical care.

“Participation in the network will help to support sur-

gical quality improvement initiatives in your organization and accelerate the achievement of long-term quality improvement goals,” said Lee Fairclough, Vice-President of Quality Improvement at Quality Improvement Ontario, in announcing RVH’s successful application. Forty hospitals submitted proposals.

“Our highest priority is to promote safe care and provide the best possible outcomes for our surgical patients,” said Rhonda Normandeau, Clinical Nurse Manager, OR. “Having the opportunity to participate in this program will lead to improved patient care.”

Dr. Susan Krajewski will lead the program implementation at RVH and will be instrumental in engaging the surgical team and sharing data within the organization to implement quality initiatives. Roughly 45 variables will be collected and submitted for each surgical procedure completed, including pre-operative risk factors and post-operative complications.

NSQIP will provide each hospital with the necessary tools to analyze the data collected

Permission marketing is focus of Renfrew Chamber of Commerce breakfast meeting Lucy Hass

lucy.hass@metroland.com

Permission marketing is just good business.

That was the message Lisa Kember brought to the Renfrew and Area Chamber of Commerce breakfast meeting March 19 at the Rocky Mountain House restaurant in Renfrew.

“Today is all about learning,” Chamber president said in his welcoming comments, noting the importance of business leaders getting together regularly to learn.

And learn they did.

Tubman described Kember as “passionate about small business” and Canada’s leading digital marketing expert. Kember is the Canada East regional director of Constant Contact, a company that helps small businesses, associations and non-profit groups to connect with their customers, clients and members.

Kember’s presentation was titled Grow Your List Under the new Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL): Practicing Permission Marketing, and she focussed on email and how to ensure compliance with the new legislation.

CASL is a regulatory framework for permission-based marketing, including email marketing,

social media marketing, text and other electronic messaging.

“It’s all about consent,” said Kember who explained the difference between express and implied consent.

“There are clear rules around how you get express consent,” she said.

Kember also addressed how to deal with existing contact lists, and walked the audience through the various elements of compliance.

It was noted the legislation also applies to charitable organizations and non-profits, except for messages of a fundraising nature.

The group also learned that if you don’t comply with the legislation, sole proprietors can face penalties up to $1 million; and corporations face penalties up to $10 million.

Renfrew Industrial Commission general manager Dave Lemkay, who was among attendees at the breakfast information session and annual general meeting, noted the great wave of consent requests after the legislation was first implemented.

While the number of requests have dropped, they are nonetheless important.

Kember reminded the group that as long as you have some level of consent, you can keep emailing someone.

steps to compliance

Four steps to make sure you’re compliant: 1. Review your email address collection methods.

2. Obtain express consent.

3. Ensure ongoing communications have appropriate information.

4. Use Constant Contact tools to obtain and track consent.

“All this legislation is asking you to do is to pull up your socks,” she concluded.

To ensure ongoing communications have the appropriate information remember to: • Make it clear who is sending the message.

• Make it easy for people to unsubscribe at any time.

• Clearly identify the email service provider.

• Include a valid mailing address and either a phone number, email address or web address.

CASL went into effect July 1, 2014.

The grace period for compliance expires July 1, 2017.

For more information, Constant Contact’s lucy hass/mETROLAND CASK Resource Centre is www.constantcontact. Lisa Kember of Constant Contact com/casl. Canada’s CASL website is fightspam. explains details of the federal govgc.ca ernment’s anti-spam legislation.

Donohue said.

The mayor said congratulations were held back from the March 5 meeting, of which Crozier was unable to attend.

Because he is an assistant coach with the Pembroke Lumber Kings, who had a playoff game the night of the March 19 meeting, Crozier was unable to attend this meeting either.

Nonetheless, Mayor Donohue acknowledged the efforts of Crozier despite his absence.

OPP on lookout for stolen Suzuki Swift A silver 2009 Suzuki Swift was stolen from a driveway on Cobus Road in Horton Township around 9 p.m. March 13.

The vehicle bears Ontario licence BNDB 755. Det.-Const. Hayley Chaplin is investigating.

Impaired driver

One male is facing charges after police stopped to investigate a vehicle running on the side of Highway 17.

Around 8:40 p.m. March 11, officers stopped a truck on the side of the highway near Yonder Hill Trail in Whitewater Region.

The male in the driver’s seat had been drinking. After failing a roadside alcohol screening test he was arrested and taken to the detachment for further breath tests.

As a result, a 43-year-old Whitewater Region man was charged with care or control of a motor vehicle over 80 mgs. He was released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew April 15.

Const. Bernie Dikih led the investigation.

Fraud

Officers are investigating after a report that someone has used a victim’s address

to register a vehicle. The suspect lives in Ottawa and may be attempting to avoid an emissions test. The Ministry of Transportation and the OPP are investigating.

A wallet was lost in Renfrew March 8.

The contents of the wallet were found and turned in to the police, minus the victim’s cash, and several pieces of identification.

A flashing amber light magnetically mounted on the roof of a truck was stolen in Renfrew between March 5 and 10 on O’Brien Road in Renfrew.

The owners of Reids Lake Campground have been given the go-ahead to rename a private road on the property.

Barrmetmac Lane will now be known as Reids Lake Lane to reflect the name of the lake related to the property.

The name change has been sent to the Central Ambulance Communications Centre and County of Renfrew 9-1-1 co-ordinator.

The property owners are responsible for contacting Canada Post and other utility and service providers to change their mailing address, Admaston-Bromley clerk-treasurer Annette Louis explained March 19.

A new road name sign will be purchased and installed by the AdmastonBromley public works department.

Costs to the township for the name change will be around $500.

Property owners within 120 metres of Barrmetmac Lane have been notified should they have any comments or concerns.

One Barrmetmac neighbour has asked about legal costs or charges to MPAC (Municipal Property Assessment Corporation), Ontario Hydro, Bell Canada or Shaw Communications, etc.

Louis notified them that with the approved name change, the township will be responsible for advertising and signage, but not for any costs incurred by the property owners to facilitate the change.

A public meeting will be held in April should anyone else decide to come forward with any concerns. The bylaw will also be amended at that time.

The name Barrmetmac was founded by three previous campground owners, the Barrs, Metcalfs and MacDonalds, Tony Akkermans of Reids Lake Campground said.

They no longer have any connection with the property.

“Because Reids Lake Campground is a tourism-based business, it is important for new customers to be able to easily locate us,” Akkermans said.

“The property address numbers on the road can remain the same. This road name change would simplify the process for new customers to locate us.

“There is an economic benefit to the community the more successful my business is, because it does bring tourism into the area,” Akkermans added.

“So there are definite benefits to the township for the name change.”

It was noted by the County of Renfrew that a road called Reid Road already exists, but that the proposed new road name of Reids Lake Lane is

unique enough not to create confusion.

The only concern brought up by council was by Councillor Kevin LeGris on the $500 price tag to the township.

He had no objection to the name change, as long as it didn’t set a precedent of others filing for name changes such as getting their family name on a road.

Akkermans said he had no issue with contributing to some of the costs.

Council, as well as Mayor Michael Donohue, were satisfied with the township absorbing the costs since the business brings more tourism and visitors into the area and that the name change will only help.

The caller will explain that they are involved in some sort of mishap or are having trouble returning from a foreign country and need money right away.

Be wary of, “Grandma, it’s me...I need help... please don’t tell anyone.”

The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is reminding citizens that emergency scams target vulnerable persons and seniors by playing upon their emotions and rob them of their money.

Each year, emergency scam artists contact thousands of citizens and many people get scammed in their rush to help.

Many victims are hesitant to say ‘no’ or to hang up on someone on the phone, which makes them easy targets for criminals to access substantial sums of money.

In 2014, five (5) per cent of all complaints received by the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre were victims of the Emergency Scam -- sometimes referred to as the Grandparent Scam.

Of those 1,977 complaints, 737 people were identified as victims who reported a total loss of more than $2.4 million.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Rediscover your main street “Little darling, it’s been a long, cold, lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it’s been here. Here comes the sun.�

The Beatles 1969 smash hit ‘Here Comes the Sun’, from the famous Abbey Road album, has never rang more true than this year.

When spring arrived at 6:45 p.m. last Friday evening, the chill was still in the air but the sky clearly looked different. It seemed brighter; more hopeful.

Spring is the season of growth, birth and renewal so what better time to enjoy a walk down your hometown’s main street.

In his inaugural address Renfrew Mayor Don Eady encouraged people to discover the downtown core.

Two stories in this edition remind us of the town’s rich history as a retail hotbed and the

commercial heart of the region. And while the nature of business has changed, a small-town commitment to service remains.

The landscape is changing with redevelopment of the Mac’s Milk property at Raglan/ Hall, adjacent to the Rexall building that was constructed not so very long ago but that already feels like it has been there forever.

Thanks to the efforts of dedicated Heritage Renfrew members Audrey Green and Olga Lewis, the town’s downtown history is being documented. Perhaps respecting and remembering that past will foster greater appreciation of the present and encourage renewed enthusiasm for the changes yet to come.

So as the weather warms up, plan a leisurely trek along Renfrew’s historic main street and rediscover some old friends, or make new ones.

The warm spirit of the Irish knows no geographic boundary Another St. Patrick’s celebration has come and gone, and the green garland and garb is carefully packed away.

Truth be told, I don’t like Irish stew and have trouble downing Jameson whiskey, but St. Patrick’s Day remains one of my favourite times of the year, rivalled only by Oktoberfest.

St. Patrick’s Day always makes me feel especially Canadian, but never more than a few years back.

I’m usually home on March 17, but one time I did venture out of Renfrew County on St. Patrick’s Day for a weekend with my sister Louise in Quebec City.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Irish spirit knows no boundaries. I’ve always known that St. Paddy celebrations know no provincial boundaries when it comes to the

Pontiac. Some of the most popular St. Pat’s parties are on the other side of the Ottawa River in places like Gavan’s Hotel.

But this time I was deep into Quebec – Quebec City to be precise. And the Saint Alexandre Pub on Rue St. Jean in Old Quebec was hopping.

People often forget just how close our Valley heritage is tied to our neighbours across the river.

Many Irish families settled in the farming regions around Quebec City, and rich agricultural land encircles the city.

Standing on the Dufferin Terrace and gazing across the majestic St. Lawrence River, one gets a true sense of the magnitude of our wonderful country. And the towering monument to Samuel de Champlain, who founded Quebec City in 1608 underscores the tremendous distance

LUCY HASS View from The ‘Frew covered by the ambitious explorer who, by 1613, found his way to what would become Renfrew County.

The Irish culture is a lively, colourful one, filled with song, dance, storytelling, wit and wisdom.

With my family roots firmly planted in Mount St. Patrick, Shamrock and Douglas, I’m drawn to the shamrock. My mom had a particular penchant for finding four-leaf clovers in our yards, both on the farm and after we moved into our new home on Lisgar Avenue in Renfrew.

She pressed them lovingly into tiny folds of plastic wraps and to this day I carry them in my waller.

Ireland has also provided some of my favourite proverbs – ages-old sayings that ring with truth.

When we were kids dad would say we kids were “brown as a berry� when the summer sun tanned our skin as we played in the fields off the South McNaughton Line.

I stumbled upon that phrase many years later, in a 1974 book of proverbs and sayings of Ireland, editted

by Sean Caffney.

It was a delightful read, with such profound advice as “Say little and say it well� and keen observations like “No man ever wore a cravat as nice as his own child’s arm around his neck.�

In closing, I share some favourite Irish definitions from that book.

“All consumers, regardless of age and gender, can take basic steps to protect themselves from becoming victims of fraud, such as never giving out personal information over the phone, the internet or social media,” says Deputy Commissioner Scott TOD, OPP Investigations and Organized Crime Command.

“Remember, if it is too good to be true...it probably is,” he says.

Be aware of some warning signs: • Urgency-- The scammer always makes the request sound very urgent, which may cause the victim to not verify the story.

• Fear-- The scammer plays on the victim’s emotions by generating a sense of fear. For instance they may say, “I am scared and I need help from you.”

• Secrecy-- The scammer pleads with the victim not to tell anyone about the

situation, such as, “Please don’t tell Dad, he would be so mad.”

• Request for Money Transfer-- Money is usually requested to be sent by a money transfer company such as Money Gram, Western Union or even through your own bank institution.

To avoid becoming a victim, police advise you to first check with another family member or trusted friend to verify the information before sending money or providing credit card information by phone or e-mail.

It is vitally important that the incident be reported every time it occurs, to allow police to investigate and prevent others from becoming victims.

If you or someone you know may have been the victim of an ‘emergency’ scam, contact your local police service or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 (TIPS).

FRAUD…Recognize it…Report it…Stop it.

Liberals doubling down on FROZEN PIPES? PROBLEM!! failed energy program: MPP SteamNO machines to thaw pipes In a March 6 press release, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski expressed his shock at Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli’s comments that smart meters are a ‘good-news story’ for the province and that the Liberal government is contemplating yet another increase to time-of-use pricing.

Despite the fact that the Auditor General has found that the smart meter program has run almost a billion dollars past its original budget – and the devices often do not relay accurate information back to the utilities – the energy minister continues to sing their praises.

“From the very beginning the smart meter program has been a boondoggle,” said Yakabuski.

“These devices are one of the leading reasons why ratepayers have seen skyrocketing increases in their hydro bills in recent years.”

Even more worrisome is the energy minister openly musing about changing the time-of-use pricing.

“When Liberals use the word ‘change’ people should hide their

wallets,” Yakabuski said.

“We have seen time and time again that this is just a code word for the Liberals to raise the cost of hydro. Increasing the time-of-use rates will decrease people’s disposable income and discourage businesses from investing in the province.”

He also remarked that Ontario ratepayers already pay some of the highest power rates in North America.

“Ontarians are struggling. A decade into the Liberal’s failed energy program, many families are unable to pay their hydro bills month to month.

The energy ideas of the Liberals have failed ratepayers and if they do not chart a new direction soon the damage will be irreversible,” Yakabuski concluded.

Do you know a

psychotherapist?

If so, you may be interested to learn that psychotherapists will soon become a regulated profession in Ontario. Anyone using the title psychotherapist (or an abbreviation) or claiming to be qualified to practise as a psychotherapist, must be regulated.

Practitioners of psychotherapy will need to join the new College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), or be registered with another regulatory college whose members can practise psychotherapy.* CRPO’s regulatory authority comes from the Psychotherapy Act passed by the Ontario legislature in 2007. Our mandate will be to regulate psychotherapists in the public interest, striving to ensure competent and ethical practice.

For more information, visit crpo.ca *Other professions whose members can practise psychotherapy are: nurses, occupational therapists, physicians, psychologists and social workers.

Liberal Riding Association looking for policy input from Renfrew County residents

_R0013155480/0226

Pension Plan (QPP-RRQ) or increasing funding for highways, these questions allow residents to provide their views and ideas to strengthen life in Canada.

“The main aim of this survey is to gauge public opinion on these important issues so that we can best align our policies with those that are most significant to ALL Canadians and specifically to those in Renfrew County. I believe that it is our obligation to go out and hit the pavement, talking to Canadians from all walks of life about what they want to see happening on Parliament Hill because it is their lives that are impacted the most by the decisions of a government”, says Policy Chairperson Oliver Jacob.

All responses will be carefully reviewed and may form the basis of the riding association’s policy resolution proposals to the Liberal Party of Canada (Ontario) and the Liberal Party of Canada.

As a part of their policy outreach, the policy committee of the Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke Federal Liberal Riding Association has designed a short five-minute survey for Renfrew County residents.

Their new survey keys in on several issues that are currently hot topics in federal politics, including help for low- and middle-income families, improving the health and child care systems, increasing the availability of affordable housing, and opening up government through increased transparency measures.

A video from the survey depicts Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau referencing his #RealPriorities, a government that works to be a positive force in Canadian politics and that fights in the best interests of all Canadians.

The final sections of the survey focus on what exactly the citizens of Renfrew County would like to see as a priority of the next government. Whether you believe that the most important actions would involve enhancements to the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Quebec

sponders,” Miller Gatenby said. “We respond as quickly as we can when we are called. It’s usually the firechief, but sometimes it’s the dispatcher (who calls).

“We deal with the first 72 hours, three days.”

The Red Cross was called in by the fire marshal to come to Vimy after the fire. They helped 21 people find a place to stay.

In Calabogie, where the power was out for a long period of time, the Red Cross set up reception in the community hall where water and other essentials were provided. “Every spring, we are called out for floods,” Miller Gatenby added of other emergencies the Red Cross covers.

The Renfrew County branch has a disaster services program to assist residents after a disaster, and also offers first aid and CPR training.

At the Red Cross exhibit, information was handed out to caution that everyone should be prepared in the case of an emergency.

The day also featured a healthy eating demonstration, and a presentation to explain Ontario’s tax credits and benefits.

Bill Hughes of The Smokehouse Cafe cooked and served lunch.

The Golden Age Activity Centre held its first community health fair March 19, and it couldn’t have gone better.

“It has been a wonderful day,” administrator Nellie Kingsbury said during the five-hour event. “The turnout has been good.”

The health care drew more than 15 exhibitors and presentations took place throughout the day.

“The exhibitors have all shown up that said they were coming, so I’m very, very pleased with what’s taking place,” Kingsbury added. “There is a lot of good information out there on those tables and they (seniors) are coming in and picking that information up and taking it home with them. I’m very pleased with the success of the community health fair.”

Renfrew County Branch Red Cross volunteer Katherine Miller Gatenby of Arnprior spoke on 72-hour emergency preparedness.

The Red Cross attended the Vimy apartments fire in January, and the wind storm in the Calabogie area a couple of years ago.

Male red-winged blackbirds return to area +for another year Sybil Ferguson reported a male red-winged blackbird at her feeder on March 19, 2015.

This is within one day of their return 110 years ago on March 20, 1905. The date is taken from a science diary written by John L Forgie, father of the late Helen Clark. According to the diary the red wings returned on March 9, 1903 and on March 8, 1904. At the time the Forgie family lived on the Burnstown Road and school-aged children walked the three miles to school giving them a great opportunity to observe what Nature had to offer. Unless the birds are displaying the blackbirds do not show their bright red shoulder patches, only a thin white wing bar appears. When the females arrive in about two weeks we will see every male displaying his red shoulder patches, hoping his new spring attire will win him a mate.

Northern shrike

Bruce Aedern at Otter Lake called and he had seen a bird that was new to him. It had a black mask, a gray chest, black wings and a hooked, black bill. These are the field marks of a northern shrike, some times known as the butcher bird. It hunts from a high perch taking smaller birds that it forces to the ground before dispatching them with its powerful bill.

Not having grasping talons it must impale its prey on barbed wire or on a thorn of a hawthorn to hold it while pulling it apart. The northern shrike spends the winter with us but leaves for the summer and the extremely rare loggerhead

JIM FERGUSON

Clarence Bos has tried to get cardinals to come to his feeders for several years, and finally a female arrived this week. Cardinals are one of the most desired birds we have. They have a beautiful whistled song, they sing duets, and they have plumage that is unmatched by any other bird in Canada. The difficult part is getting them to come to feeders or claim a territory near your home. They like sunflower seed for food and cedar hedges for protection but these conditions do not guarantee success.

Scene from the Hawk’s Eye shrike arrives.

American kestrels

Marlene Hanneman saw an American kestrel last Friday March 20. This species left the area in late November for some reason and none were seen during the Christmas Bird Count.

Purple martins

Joyce Allen has asked if there are any martin colonies in the area. Her son Tony sent her a site in Texas to check about the martins in the city of Lewisville where 50,000 martins nest every year. Joyce has been trying to attract them to her martin house on the Bonnechere River near Douglas. The colonies in Renfrew at the Presbyterian Church at the McDougall Mill Museum and another four along the Ottawa River no longer exist. We ask that anyone have a successful martin house or knows where there is one to please let us know. Ryan Hoelke at Eganville will be doing a survey as well; his number is 613-628-1091.

Mother comes to the rescue when Cecil’s spying techniques fail

The neighbours came in cutters and sleighs, the horses tethered near the drive shed, with heavy blankets thrown over their backs. Carrying baskets of food, which my sister Audrey took with a hearty “thank you�, and then piling it all on the clearedoff bake table. Those who had even a smidgen of talent brought their fiddles and guitars and one neighbour, who couldn’t hold a candle to Mother’s playing, brought his harmonica, a double-reed affair that his daughter told me cost a whole dollar at Scott’s hardware.

It didn’t take long for we youngsters to head upstairs to play in the

out on the floor with his face pressed against the grate. I have no idea how it happened, but he must have stuck his tongue through one of the small holes in the grate, and he couldn’t get it out. His arms flailed, and his words came out like someone speaking a foreign language. Audrey bent over him and told him to stop yelling and it would release his tongue. Well, he either didn’t get the message, or he was too scared to pay any heed.

No one could hear him downstairs because of the music and the loud chatter, so Audrey went down and brought Mother upstairs to see if she could release Cecil’s tongue from the grate.

Finally, she lifted the grate out of the hole in the floor, with it still circling the pipe, and Cecil’s tongue with it. They sat crossed-legged facing each other, and Mother, holding the grate in one hand, being careful not to move the stove pipe, and with Cecil’s tongue between two fingers in the other, told him to breath

in hard, and cough real loud. Taking in a deep breath to get ready for the cough, caused his tongue to jerk back into his mouth and that finally freed it from the grate.

Well, it was a pretty quiet Cecil after that. He said he had enough of playing upstairs, he was going to go down and watch the dancing and card game.

His tongue was no worse for wear, because when it came time to eat the lunch, Cecil’s plate was piled high with cold pork sandwiches, and not one, but two pieces of chocolate slab cake. And not one of us was brave enough to bring up the incident ever again. Cecil was a force to be reckoned with, there was no doubt about that!

Mary Cook’s Memories

bedrooms; jacks on the bare floor, Parcheesi in the boys room, and we, the youngest of the girls, playing house with our dolls on one of the beds.

The rug was tucked under the horsehair settee, and by late day we were ready for the Saturday night house party.

These are the units to measure the worth of a man as a man, regardless of birth.

Not what was his church, nor what was his creed?

But had he befriended those really in need?

God looked upon His garden, And found an empty space.

Then He looked down upon the earth, And saw your tired face.

He put His arms around you, And lifted you to rest.

God’s garden must be beautiful, For He only takes the best.

He saw the road was getting rough, And the hills were hard to climb.

He closed your weary eyes, And whispered Peace be Thine.

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, To God’s Garden, your new home.

The Christmas gift that’s giving to Hospice Prints of former Renfrew Bottling Works to raise funds for Hospice Renfrew Lucy Hass

lucy.hass@metroland.com

When Bill Brydge opened the Christmas gift from his wife Reggie Armonas, the memories were vivid.

Now they hope the sale of autographed prints of that gift will raise money for the hospice who cared so compassionately for Bill’s stepfather Barry McCormack in his final days.

The colourful, intricate image of the Renfrew Bottling Works plant in the late 1920s captures the very essence of the times, depicting the trucks and even the brickwork that can still be seen today on the outside wall facing the neighbouring builidng.

Renfrew artist Joanne Kalimeris carefully studied a heritage photo and the actual building to capture the very special moment in Renfrew history.

A limited number of prints will be available, with more planned for production to meet demand.

“It is basically to raise money for Renfrew Hospice, and the reason why that is important to the two of us is that Bill’s stepfather, Barry McCormack, spent his last days at Hospice Renfrew and they were amazing. Barry was very special,” said Armonas.

“The genesis of this picture was, first off, Joanne. She is such a historian for the town,” Reggie said, noting how people are so busy they often forget what a beautiful, historic main street Renfrew has. She also found it appealing to commission a piece of artwork so close to her husband’s personal history, and the history of others who worked there in the past.

To share a glimpse beyond the walls of the

old Renfrew Bottling Works plant, Bill returned to the basement of the property now occupied

by Community Living Renfrew County South.

Walking through the basement, the signs of days gone by remain. The Matthews conveyor belt that shuffled product from floor to floor is still there. The door to the old furnace room still bears a stencilled RBW logo.

And the old safe with Renfrew Bottling Works printed across its face remains in an office upstairs.

Much of Bill’s youth was spent at the main street wholesale operation and bottling plant first owned by O.R. Perry around 1900.

Bill’s aunts Mabel and Laura, who worked at the bottling plant, were released to work at the Renfrew Munitions factory during the war.

They later returned to eventually buy the plant from Perry in 1923.

One aunt went to Pembroke to expand the wholesale business, and the other aunt and Bill’s family ran the local wholesale and bottling operation on Raglan Street until 1963 when a new bottling plant was built on Lisgar Avenue.

“In 1963 I was 13,” said Bill, recalling how, as a young man, he spent Saturdays going out with the drivers.

“I used to go out and deliver in Quebec.

There were eight pop routes at that time, and two chief crews.”

Bill’s mom Dorothie got into the business when his dad got sick in 1959.

Until 1963, trucks were kept at the site across from the current Renfrew Mercury.

During its time in downtown Renfrew, the local bottling plant supported about 35 jobs and was an important component of the local economy.

People interested in a copy of the print can find them at Donohue’s Art and Frame in Renfrew.

Total proceeds of every sale will be donated to Hospice Renfrew, made possible thanks to the generosity of Donohue Arts and Frame that is covering all production-related costs.

Another of Renfrew’s landmark buildings was torn down in January to make way for the expansion of a Mac’s Milk store and gas bar.

A history of this store and former buildings on this site will be of interest, we are sure, to the readers of The Renfrew Mercury.

The property is Lot 2, Raglan Street which was part of the McLean Farm and which Xavier Plaunt became owner of in the 1840s.

In February 1848 Xavier Plaunt sold the property to Duncan Ferguson for the sum of 12 pounds.

In 1849 Duncan Ferguson sold the property to Roderick Ross, for 150 pounds. He, in turn, sold the property in 1850 to Christine Morely for 200 pounds.

In 1854 James Miller held a deed in trust, granted by Roderick Ross, the size of the lot 74 feet for 25 pounds.

In April 1872 George James Ross sold the property to Robert Stewart for $600.

In January 1881 Thomas New sold the property to Patrick Devine for $1,750. At this time a wooden store was on the property.

There were several fires that destroyed the buildings that were on the lot during the early years.

In 1866 the first fire of some magnitude destroyed Mrs. McAdam’s Hotel which stood on the lot, as well as Archy Thomson’s blacksmith shop, and next to Mrs. McAdam’s was the Carswell store which has earlier been owned by the McWilliam brothers. Some of the outbuildings of the Dominion House were also affected.

Seven years later, on practically the same spot, another disastrous fire claimed three lives.

This was in 1873 at the new brick building built

by Mr. Ferguson and rented to the British Bank of North America, and the Tierney Bros. Hardware store, also the Groves Hotel and James Carswell’s store and residence.

In 1893 another fire destroyed the store of Patrick Devine and there was considerable damage to the Dominion House stables and storerooms as well. After the fire, Patrick Devine

built the store which was torn down in January of this year. Patrick Devine had a nephew Matthew Devine working for him who inherited the store after Patrick’s death in 1894.

In 1894 E.J. McGarry came to Renfrew came to Renfrew and went into partnership with Matthew Devine in the new store. Mr. McGarry was born in Drummond Township near Perth.

The partnership lasted for 16 years, and then Mr. McGarry felt that he wanted a rest from business and sold his interest in the business to Joseph Legree from Dacre. Mr. Legree had prospered in the village of Dacre with a store there.

In 1910 Matthew Devine and Joseph Legree decided to enlarge the business. They had a very attractive show window display done and made another move, placing their goods so that the eye of customers would be attracted. That was done by adding to their store space in the store south of them. That was done by throwing into the main store a doorway and fitting the space up with ample shelving for their mercantile supplies.

Later, Mr. McGarry went into business with David Barr in the Barr Block and, once again, was in the hardware business.

After the death of Matthew Devine, Joseph Legree bought Mr. Devine’s interest in the store and continued to operate the hardware business until 1944 when it was sold to Mr. J. Charles Roberts of Montreal. The business was to continue to be conducted in the Legree Block.

In 1958 J. Charles Roberts and his wife bought the property down on Raglan Street, formerly occupied by the Pentecostal Church.

He moved his business there and operated the store in that location for only a few years.

In 1969 Douglas Stringer, in agreement with Gregory Green, Hubert Agnel and Gerald Utronki, carried on a business in part of the building for Jamieson and Glove TV. They were there for several years. The building also housed the business of some other tenants for some years.

The last tenant of the building was the Renfrew County Family and Social Services office.

They moved out to the old Canadian Tire on O’Brien Road a few years ago and the building has sat empty ever since, until purchased by the Mac’s Milk Corp. and a new, modern Mac’s Milk Convenience store will be erected on the site.

Here we grow again, says local shop owner

“Here we grow again,” has become a common phrase for Sheri Pougnet and her vibrant downtown store formally known as Wheatless Wonders. She has spent her first two years as a dedicated gluten-free and organic food store.

But Sheri’s willingness to listen to her devoted customers has led the store onto a new and exciting path.

The transition to a location where customers can find a variety of local foods and artisan, hand-crafted products is well under way.

While all this is a new direction for Wheatless Wonders, including a name change to “It’s LOCAL”, most of the high-quality, gluten-free products that her customers have come to trust will still be available.

The transformation began a year ago with the introduction of local uncertified organic beef from Dobson’s Farm in Cobden. This beef has been strictly grass-fed, without the typical ‘finishing,’ with grains or other feeds. There are no antibiotics or added hormones, and they are raised and processed right here in Renfrew County.

The store has recently added organic pork products and uncertified organic lamb from Yellowmoon in Eganville. The animals are pasture-raised and/or supplemented with a mindful, sustainable method.

As spring approaches, Sheri will be working closely with local farms to introduce fruits and vegetables, with the emphasis on organic, nonGMO, chemical fertilizer and pesticide-free.

Seasonal variety will ensure customers are getting the freshest products available from field to table. So watch for her vegetable stand in front of the store in the spring, summer and fall. It’s LOCAL will also exhibit the goods of local artisans and crafters.

Coping

Financial difficulties and debt stress can affect people from all walks of life. At Doyle Salewski, our professional credit counsellors can help you put your finances in order and achieve a debt-free future – all while treating you with respect, dignity and compassion.

A bi-weekly guide on how to manage debt

At Doyle Salewski, we help people just like you every day.

with

Debt

Q: What is a credit score, and how does filing a consumer proposal or bankruptcy affect it?

If you are overwhelmed and can’t manage the debts you have, solutions are available to relieve the stress. A consumer proposal and in some cases a bankruptcy, are viable options if you can’t keep up with the payments or have tried unsuccessfully to refinance or make arrangements with your creditors. But did you know that your credit score has dropped if you’ve missed some payments or already have too much debt?

If you don’t have assets to give as security and have limited income, borrowing more money won’t help if you’re already behind on your payments. Our counselors will explain what options are available to manage your “debt stress”. Remember, your health will always be more important than a good credit score.

What is a credit score?

We’ve all heard the term credit score or credit rating. You likely already know that your score influences a bank’s decision whether or not to lend you money, approve a mortgage, and so on.

FICO® Scores are calculated from many different pieces of credit data in your credit report.

This data is grouped into five categories as outlined below. The percentages in the chart reflect how important each of the categories is in determining how your FICO Scores are calculated.

Your FICO Scores consider both positive and negative information in your credit report.

Late payments will lower your FICO Scores, but establishing or re-establishing a good track record of making payments on time will raise your score. Scores ranges from 300-850.

Lenders may vary but a score above 700 is generally considered good.

How a FICO Score breaks down

What happens to my credit score if I file a consumer proposal or declare bankruptcy?

A consumer proposal will be rated slightly better than a bankruptcy and will remain on your file for three years after you have completed your payments. A first bankruptcy will stay on your report for about seven years. Filing a consumer proposal or a bankruptcy may cause your credit score to drop temporarily but more importantly, will reduce your debt stress. No collection calls. No wage garnishments. You will sleep better. We will help you prepare a budget and come to an affordable monthly payment that fits your situation.

How can I repair my credit score?

Repairing your credit score isn’t a “quick fix” but many Doyle Salewski clients have proven that it can be done. We have run out of room here but look for some helpful steps in our next post to be published in 2 weeks.

If you are burdened with debt stress, asking for sound advice is a sign of strength and the smart thing to do. Asking sooner rather than later is always better. Call Doyle Salewski today for your free, no obligation consultation. You’ll be glad you did.

Charlie Ricard remembered at annual St. Patrick’s Day bonspiel Behind the Glass

The St. Paddies weekend was celebrated in fine style at the Renfrew Curling Club as the Eady, Yolkowskie and Brydges families hosted 24 teams, 96 curlers and countless fans to the Charlie Ricard Memorial Spiel. After three days of curling, the trophy and draw prizes were awarded to the survivors.

In the battle of the undefeated, the Ron Townson rink defeated Rob Warren’s foursome in one semi while in the other semi, the Barry Griese gang defeated the George Scott squad.

In an entertaining final Townson continued the magic and along with Don Rouble, Ann Townson and Pam McFarlane defeated the more experienced Griese-Leclaire combo to take home the trophy.

Capturing B honours was the team

of Cliff and Cathy Valleau and Dean and Cathy Black, who won on an injury default when the Jim Rayner team could not play on after an injury.

Ed Lepack, Karl and Theresa Mann and Laurie Millar took the C in the closest final when Ed outdrew Dave Eady of the Byer’s Hunt Camp team to break a tie game.

And taking the D were Lauren Scott, Ashley Homsma, Stephanie Rosien and Rebecca Dunbar, who defeated the Jim Berg team.

Congratulations to the winners of the Curly Wood Trophy at 8-0, Rob Warren, Dwight Hayward, Dave Anderson and Laurie Millar/Anne MacNeil, and to the runners-up at 7-1 Brian Yolkowskie, Peter Price, Alex Baillon and Roy Leitch.

In Friendly action Renfrew hosted three teams from Shawville and the visitors came an inch short of a

split when a draw for the tie was just short. This allowed the team of Andy Sklepowicz, Leith Collins, Cedric Wright and Bernie Leclaire to join the other Renfrew winners, the Rob Warren rink with Laurie Millar, Barb Roy and Kevin Box, while the Bill Bowles’ squad were friendly to our guests.

To follow up on an earlier column, the team of Casey (Wall) and Brad Kidd had a fine run at the two-person mixed championships with a chance to represent Canada at the Worlds.

Achieving their first goal, they advanced from round-robin pool play to enter the sudden-death playoffs where they won their first game, but then lost their quarterfinal match.

And a final reminder to order your Theresa Mann/Submitted barbecue choice of steak or chicken Gert Brydges, left, presents the Charlie Ricard Memorial Bonspiel trofor the club closing dinner and to phy to the winning team of lead Pam McFarlane, second Ann Townson, come out and enjoy the music of third Don Rouble and skip Ron Townson.

Calabogie Ski Racing Club racers are roaring out of the start gates and into the final races of the season.

The U16/U18 group have barely slept in their own beds lately, having first participated in Speed Camp at Mont Ste. Marie Feb. 25-27, followed by the Art Tommy Memorial Alpine Combined Feb. 28 and March 1, and finally hopping on a plane to Thunder Bay for U16 Provincials March 7-11.

The Art Tommy Memorial features two days of super combined races, where racers compete in one Super G run and one slalom run, with the results combined.

On day one of the Art Tommy – a race named after a well-known Ottawa ski racer – Emma Schreider (Kingston) topped the Calabogie U16 girls with 20th place while Alexa Loudiadis (Ottawa) was hot on her heels in 21st.

Lauren CampbellBrunke of Renfrew had a strong Super G run but was disqualified in the slalom portion. Calabogie’s U18 racer, Aylen Ferguson of Carp, grabbed seventh place. Meanwhile, the boys had several strong showings. Sam Duff (Pembroke) collected a fifth-place ribbon, Nick Caves (Barrhaven) carved to seventh, and Tarik Hamrouni (Barrhaven) snagged 14th.

On day two Lauren redeemed herself with a 12th place and Aylen mounted the podium for a silver medal.

Renfrew County Therapeutic Riding Program starts new season with Zumba fundraiser at Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre Sunday Keryl Banks

Program co-operator instructor

The Renfrew County Therapeutic Riding Program is excited to be starting our fourth season of therapeutic riding instruction. RCTRP provides adults and children with physical and/or developmental challenges the opportunity to experience horseback riding under a CanTRA Certified Instructor with lessons geared to each individual’s needs and goals. The 2014 season saw an increase in students and our wonderful volunteers were instrumental in managing this growth. Thank you all!

With the start of the 2015 season soon upon us, volunteers are needed to assist with preparing horses for lessons, side walking, leading and fundraising/events.

High school students are welcome and can use the time towards their volunteer hours. Horse experience is not necessary, as long as you are comfortable around them. The 2015 season begins June 2 and runs until

the end of September. There are two eight-week sessions, June/July and August/September, with multiple classes per week, allowing for flexability in the time commitment required.

Training day May 7

If you are interested in a fulfilling, fun way to get some exercise in a positive environment with amazing riders and horses, please contact Keryl Banks at 613-570-9852. Leave a details message or email kbanks@ therapeuticridingrc.ca for further information or questions. In preparation for the new season, there will be a training day for all new volunteers on Thursday, May 7.

If you, or a family member, would like to participate in the riding program, please contact Keryl at kbanks@therapeuticridingrc.ca as soon as possible, as there is a registration process, and available spots are limited.

RCTRP is a non-profit, charitable

organization. We would like to thank all volunteers and local businesses for their generous support during the 2014 season that allowed for several successful fundraising projects, including the annual zumba class, bracelet sales and our annual ride-athon.

The 2015 Zumba fundraiser is Sunday, March 29 at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre in Renfrew from 1 to 3 p.m.

We would also like to thank the Renfrew County Dairy Association and their golf tournament for their generous donation, which enabled the purchase of a wheelchair accessible toilet.

A very special thank-you goes out to the Greater Petawawa Civitan Club for their ongoing support and sponsorship of Marvin, one of RCTRP’s horses.

For more details regarding our program, volunteering or our upcoming events, please visit www.therapeuticridingrc.com or check out our Facebook page.

Pizzeria skates to 2-0 lead in Renfrew Men’s Hockey final Peter Clark

peter.clark@metroland.com

Hamburgers where thrown on the ice at the Canadian Tire Centre following the Ottawa Senators 6-4 win over the Boston Bruins March 19.

Perhaps pizza slices could have been tossed at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre in the same night.

In a dramatic finish, Ryan Arbuthnot connected 1:41 into overtime, capping off a three-way passing play with Drew Anderson and defenceman Dylan Zavitske to give Renfrew Pizzeria a 3-2 triumph over Cybulski Sheet Metal.

The win gives the pizza shop a twogame lead in the best-of-five Renfrew Men’s Hockey League final.

Jimmy MacMillan opened scoring for Pizzeria early in the first period, before teammate Drew Anderson tied it 2-2 early in the third. In-between were Sheet Metal markers from Denver Mullen and Jamie Cobus.

Goaltender Tyler Miller blocked 19 shots in the win for Renfrew Pizzeria. CSM counterpart Matt Wolfgram kicked aside 14 shots.

Pizzeria penalty killing played a key role in the outcome. Sheet Metal went 1-for-7 on the powerplay, but had the last five opportunities and failed to connect with the game in the line. Pizzeria had just three powerplay chances.

Anderson had a shorthanded marker, and Arbuthnot added insurance in a 2-0 Pizzeria victory in the series curtain raiser March 16.

Miller made 13 stops to post the

shutout. A busy Wolfgram handled 22 of 24 shots directed his way.

Pizzeria went for the sweep Monday night. If Cybulski’s was able to stay alive, game four will be played Thursday (tonight) at 8:30 p.m.

March Madness

Ben McMahon had two goals, and Kyle Couveau added a single to lift Ramrod past the Arnprior Beavers 30 to capture Open Division top honours of $600 at the March Madness 2015 Men’s Hockey Tournament at Ma-Te-Way Sunday afternoon.

Tyler Miller made 19 saves to earn the shutout.

Ramrod scored three second-period goals and held off Arnprior 4-3 in one semifinal.

The Beavers edged Red Army 2-1 in the other semifinal matchup.

Milowen claimed the Recreation Division title with a 2-1 win over Cybulski Sheet Metal.

Nick Sparling and Corey Smart had Milowen goals a couple of minutes apart in the second period to overcome a 1-0 deficit. Chad Davis notched the game’s opening marker four minutes earlier for CSM. Steve Bowes prevailed in a goaltenders’ battle with 21 stops.

Matt Wolfgram registered 22 saves in the CSM goalcrease.

Milowen reached the final on the strength of a 5-3 win over Muskrat Sunday morning.

Wolfgram posted the shutout as Cybulski’s blanked Pitt Contracting 4-0 in the other semifinal contest.

“After decades of prescription drugs and three surgeries for my chronic acid reflux, Heilkunst has cured me. It’s been a wonderful journey. Thanks Manuela” PS, Arizona “My husband was on twelve pills a day -seemingly for the rest of his life- just to control his ulcerative colitis, never mind curing it. After about one and a half years of Heilkunst treatment he was off all drugs and never had another attack again. That was about eight years ago.” MC, Arnprior

Hammond in burgers for life Peter Clark

peter.clark@metroland.com

If you meet Andrew Hammond in the line at a McDonald’s Restaurant, don’t worry about buying his meal.

That’s already looked after.

After the incredible start to his National Hockey League career, and the rise of the ‘Hamburglar’, the Ottawa Senators goaltender can feast on McDonald’s hamburgers gratis, for the rest of his life.

John Bergeron, who owns six McDonald’s Restaurants in the Ottawa Valley, including Renfrew’s, has given Hammond a lifetime card.

A big Senators fan, Bergeron is the father of Chris Bergeron, Hammond’s coach for three years at Bowling Green.

The Hamburglar faze has

certainly caught on.

The ďŹ rst 10,000 fans into the Senators March 19 game versus the Boston Bruins received Hamburglar masks from TSN 1200, the radio station that broadcasts all Senators games.

Masked number 10,001 appeared at Admaston-Bromley Council on the same Thursday evening.

The original Hamburglar promotion at McDonald’s goes back to the 1970s, well before the 27-year-old Hammond was even born.

Other than Daniel Alfredsson’s overtime goal in the Eastern Conference ďŹ nal that sent the Senators to the Stanley Cup ďŹ nal in 2007, or Steve Duchesne’s goal with four minutes left to land Ottawa its ďŹ rst playoff berth in 1997,

this may be the biggest and best story since the franchise returned to the NHL for the 1992-92 season.

Not bad for a guy pulled from the net in an American Hockey League game after 36 seconds earlier this season when playing for the Senators farm team in Binghamton On Dec. 18, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms scored on their ďŹ rst three shots. Some guy getting a snack and refreshment up in the concourse returned to his seat and didn’t even know Hammond had started.

Hammond’s goals against average for the night was 299.99. Rounded off, he was dubbed Mr. 300.

But not for long.

Today, he is the Hamburglar, and could very well be a part of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Midget Timberwolves at home Friday day at 7:30 p.m. Pembroke won the opener 4-3 March 9. The Bantam Wolves were also down a game (a 5-1 loss). Game 2 versus Valley Storm was played this past Tuesday.

Ontario 211 helpline is asking residents to make the right call Feb. 11 was 211 Day across North America.

To mark 211 Day, the 211 Ontario helpline is asking residents to make the right call if they want or need help.

Call 2-1-1 for information on your community, social and health services, even municipal and Local Health Integration Network funded services like housing, employment and mental health and addiction agencies.

Call 911 for threats or harm to a person or property that require police, fire or ambulance services.

Knowing the right number to call will help residents find the right services for their situation and has the potential to reduce inappropriate calls to 911 from residents.

“211 is an easy to remember phone number, like 911. 211 is answered by trained specialists who know our community services and can refer callers to the much needed support near them,” said County of Renfrew Warden Peter Emon.

“211 has information not only on municipal social services but all our community, social, health and government programs. This makes it easier to help our neighbours and friends get the services they require.”

211 is answered live, 24 hours a day, every day of the year including holidays just like 911 is.

Residents are encouraged to call 2-1-1 for

services like food banks if they are hungry, mental health support if they are in crisis or for the non-emergency police number if they need the police but it is not an emergency.

211 is your one stop shop to find services that are often provided by any of the three levels of government, charities and non-profits, organizations which cannot spend a lot on awareness and marketing.

Everything from finding the phone number for Telehealth Ontario, caregiver support to seniors programs to homework clubs. The 211 service does not provide information on businesses.

211 is the Ontario helpline for community and social service information. 211 is answered live 24/7 by highly trained Information and Referral Specialists.

The database is updated by trained Resource Specialists.

About Ontario 211

211 is the source Canadians trust when seeking information and services to deal with life’s challenges.

211’s award-winning telephone helpline (21-1) and website (www.211ontario.ca) provide a gateway to community, social, non-clinical health and related government services.

211 helps to navigate the complex network

of human services quickly and easily, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in over 150 languages.

211 service in Ontario is made possible through the support of local United Ways, municipalities and Ontario’s Ministry of Community and Social Services.

Ontario 211 Services, a non-profit agency with six full-time staff, and a dedicated Board of Directors governs 211 in Ontario.

They work in collaboration with seven Regional 211 Service Providers, and a unique network of data contributors to deliver 211 services though the phone and through online channels to all Ontario residents.

MINIMIZE THE FINAL INCOME TAX LIABILITY OF YOUR ESTATE proper planning, a deceased’s “ Without income tax liability could be significant Did you know that approximately 80% of Canadians will donate to a charity during their lifetime? However, it is estimated that less than 10% will include a gift to a registered charity in their Will.

This is one of a series of several articles intended to build awareness about the impact of legacy giving to Forever CHEO. In addition to the spiritual and community benefits of gifting to a registered charity, naming a registered charity as a beneficiary in your Will can also be an effective way to minimize the final income tax liability

of an estate. Without proper planning, a deceased’s income tax liability could be significant. Various income inclusions at the time of death, such as deemed capital gains and the fair market value of an RRSP can result in a higher than expected estate income tax liability given Canada’s graduated income tax rates.

Gifts to Forever CHEO can include cash legacies, bequests of real or personal property, securities, life insurance proceeds and all or part of the residue of the estate.

All of these gifts can potentially generate tax credits available to reduce an estate’s income tax liability. Additionally, the gifting of certain types of capital property to Forever CHEO under the terms of a Will may avoid capital gains but still maximize the tax credits available from such a gift.

If you are interested in finding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at

megandoyle@cheofoundation.com or (613) 738-3694

Please feel free to contact any member of CHEO’s Legacy Advisory Committee for more information about minimizing the tax liability of your estate and how you can make a lasting impact on the kids and families at CHEO. We would be happy to help you create your Forever CHEO legacy for generations of CHEO patients.

The workshops in November and February at Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church were a huge success!

Many people came out to learn how to use milk bags to improve the lives of others, by crocheting or weaving.

Many took the instructions

to work from their home; others will continue to meet at the church on Wednesday afternoons at 1 p.m.

This has created a demand for additional supplies, can you help us?

We need clean and dry coloured milk bags!

These should be laid flat and brought to Trinity-

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, your hard work will finally come to fruition this week. You will feel like a huge burden has been lifted off of your shoulders, and you deserve to take some time off.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, don’t allow frustration to get the better of you. A problem you can’t seem to solve may have you feeling hopeless, but perseverance will lead you to a solution.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Others may need your help this week, Gemini. You are ready and willing to offer your services and advice when they are sought. A welcome reward is coming to you.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, your career may conflict with the demands of your relationship if you let them. Find a balance between the two so you can have your cake and eat it, too.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, some exciting changes lie ahead. Now is a great time to step out of your comfort zone, even if you are a little nervous to take the first steps.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, this week brings a change in your life, and this change will lead to some great things down the road. Don’t be embarrassed to be excited about this new path.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 You may feel pushed and pulled in a number of directions, Libra. This makes it difficult to pursue your own personal goals as a result. Speak up if you need more time to yourself.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, a relatively rebellious streak surfaces this week. Risk-taking is at the center of this new attitude, and you may find yourself doing a little damage control.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may think that the grass is greener somewhere else, but that is not always the case. Seek ways to make your own grass greener.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Experiences at home can affect your sense of security, Capricorn. Take the necessary steps to feel safer. Surround yourself with friends and family during this time.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Avoid making any big decisions this week, Aquarius. You are preoccupied with something else and cannot devote enough attention to any one task at the moment.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Some extra money unexpectedly comes your way this week, Pisces.

Work with a financial planner for some good ideas.
