Inside Beefing up for COMMUNITY Angus forum Selection to world forum changes pace for Enright Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Happy Easter SPORTS

Sean Enright wasnʼt necessarily planning a career in beef farming. But the death of older brother Ryan in a vehicular accident in 2009 helped solidify that move. “Dad grew up just at the top of the hill,” says Sean while sitting in the Enright kitchen on Kennelly Road, in Admaston-Bromley Township. Dad is Barry and mom is Jane, whose children — Sean, Robert, Lauren and Ryan — were involved with Enright Farms since they were very young. Sean completed his construction techniques diploma from Loyalist College in 2009, but that same year began working full-time on the farm. With Barry nearing retirement age and Ryan gone, more help was needed at home. For 24-year-old Sean, who is now managing Enright Farms, it has been a big, but not unfamiliar, change. After all, the Enrights are no strangers to the beef industry. Enright Farms, which began operation in 1982, has successfully showed their cattle, for years. This includes 2007 when Seanʼs yearling heifer won supreme champion female at Torontoʼs prestigious Royal Winter Fair. Another highlight for Sean is his recent selection to captain one of three Canadian teams going to the Octoer 2013 World Angus Forum in NewZealand. See BEEF, page 2

Another big win in Toronto came in 2009 with another Angus winning for showmanship. “The Royal Winter Fair is kind of the Super Bowl for all the fairs across Canada,” says Sean, who says Ryan “pretty well taught me everything about showing cattle.” Another big event for Enright Farms is their annual October production sale, to which large crowds travel from distant locations in the United States and Canada. The sale wonʼt be happening this year, however. Because Sean has been chosen as one of the captains of three Canadian Angus Association teams at the PGG Wrightson World Angus Forum in Palmerston North, New Zealand, it wonʼt be possible to organize the sale. The forumʼs inaugural youth program takes place Oct. 4 to 16, leaving the Enrights with ample time to participate in this yearʼs Royal Winter Fair. It runs Nov. 1 to 10. This yearʼs 11th World Angus Forum, which represents the 150th anniversary of the introduction of the Angus breed into New Zealand, is expected to attract about 500 Angus breeders, farmers and associated companies from around the world. The forum, which alternates between the northern and southern hemisphere, first took place in Australia in 1969. “This is a unique opportunity,” says the forumʼs website, “to showcase our wealth of knowledge and expertise in grass-fed system, and to invest energy and ideas for the future of the Angus breed worldwide through youth globally.” In New Zealand, teams of four will represent Canada. There will be five youth from Alberta, two from Manitoba, one each from Saskatchewan and Prince Edward Island, and three from Ontario. The other Ontario selections are Michael Hargrave of Maxwell and Matthew Bates of Cameron. Enrightʼs team will be completed by Alberta teammates Austen Anderson of Swan River, Stacey Domolewski of Taber and Chad Lorenz of Markerville. “The CAF (Canadian Angus Foundation) has committed to financially getting these teams to New Zealand for a couple of years now with fundraising efforts,” said Canadian Angus Association general manager Mi-

Asselinʼs lawyer, Bill Hunter, said if the injunction was lifted, McDougall would be free to re-post the videos and comments that contain slanderous accusations. At the heart of this case is whether McDougall is responsible for the comments made by other people underneath his Youtube videos. Hunter said that because McDougall could exercise control over the comments but chose not to, he is just as guilty as the person who posted them, and he also only presented one

chael Latimer. “We are excited to send 12 youth that very well represent our association and will surely make our membership proud as they compete abroad.” Participants will each contribute $1,000 to the $4,000 cost per youth team member. The event represents an international opportunity to learn from breeders in New Zealand, one of the worldʼs premier beef producers.

With the trip to New Zealand , Sean says he is looking forward to meeting more new people, making new friends, learning more about marketing and creating new business connections.

YOUTH COMPETITION

The forum will include contests for general knowledge, parading (presentation, showmanship and sportsmanship with an Angus beef), stock judging, animal preparation and agri-sports. The latter refers to hands-on team challenges involving day-to-day tasks. The team members will also have a chance to visit Angus studs in the Palmerston North area and prepare animals for the World Angus Forum. The absence of the Enrightsʼ production sale for a year does have some positive repercussions, says Sean. “In a way it helps us to build our herd up,” explains Sean, whoʼs proud of what buyers are offered each year. “When we have our sale, we only sell what weʼd buy ourselves. We donʼt hide our best out back, to keep for ourselves.” A good example is one of the Enrightsʼ heifers sold in 2011 that became reserve champion Angus female at the 2012 Royal Winter Fair. The popularity of the sale, called Investment in the Future, is evident because buyers, who also bid online, have come from as far away as Alabama, Colorado, Oklahoma, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Pennsylvania and Minnesota. His parents, stresses Sean, have taught him and his siblings that you have to be proud of what you do, and one way to do so is to display your best livestock in a very public sale. To do so, the Enright Farms operation covers about 800 acres and more than 500 head of cattle. Having attended the last World Angus Forum, Sean canʼt wait to attend the 2013 forum. “I was there as a spectator,” says Sean of the 2009 forum held in Calgary. “People are still talking about it to this day. It left you in awe … just the quality of cattle and the number of people that showed up from all over the world.”

Hence, the desire to travel halfway around the world to participate in the 2013 event. “Itʼs like the Olympics, but for cattle,” says Sean. With the trip to New Zealand almost around the corner, Sean says he is looking forward to meeting more new people, making new friends, learning more about marketing and creating new business connections. “It would be nice to sell some genetics in the future,” says Sean, knowing the family farm business includes the sale of cattle, semen and embryos.

side of the story. McDougallʼs lawyer, Jeff Saikaley, said the worst postings had been removed by his client and that he also made an attempt to remove all libelous material. Saikaley also pointed out that McDougall allowed people to vote on whether they thought what was happening to him was fair or unfair and he allowed comments that didnʼt side with his point of view. Saikaley said his client had taken to Youtube as a way to express himself. “Why are public funds being put into prosecuting my client?” said Saikaley, referring to the fact that As-

selinʼs legal counsel is provided by the Town of Renfrew. “Everyone has the fundamental right to criticize public officials,” said Saikaley. Hunter replied that McDougall has every right to criticize his client but not to verbally attack him, and that the contentious remarks were only removed after litigation had started and costs had been incurred. Ontario Superior Court Justice Giovanna Toscano Roccamo will give her decision at a later date. Steve Dool is an Algonquin College journalism student who is currently undertaking a placement with Metroland Media.

SOME OF HIS FAVOURITES

Some of Seanʼs favoured stock include two Angus that remain in the Enright herd — RRR Forever Lady 0604 and EXAR Blackbird 5877. The former was the first Angus female that Sean showed, and successfully, in 2007. As for this year, look for another of their Angus beef, Sooline Annie K, to show well at the Renfrew Fair and elsewhere, as she did at Londonʼs early-March 2013 Junior Beef Expo. With Lauren showing, Sooline Annie K was named champion Angus female and supreme overall female. Angus beef werenʼt always the Enright way, but Sean has pushed for the business to move in that direction. The Enrights still have many Limousin beef, but Angus has been the growing focus since 2007, he says. “How many places can you go and buy a Charolais burger?” says Sean, indirectly referencing the increasing popularity of Angus burgers in North America. “Angus is a more dominant and successful showing stock.” There are early suggestions of success, too. “When they calf out, theyʼre up and sucking within 20 minutes,” ex-

One of Sean Enright’s favoured Angus cattle is Forever Lady, whom he gives an affectionate rub. plains Sean. “The Angus mother cow is second to none, to my thinking, and has great motherly abilities.” • As a member of the Canadian Junior Angus Association’s board of directors from 2009-12, Sean was a major organizer of Showdown in Lindsay, Ont., and the Guiding Out-

standing Angus Leaders Conference in Alberta last year. A Canadian Angus Association spokesman says the July event was its most successful Showdown ever. A 4-H member of the Whitewater Beef Club and Renfrew County Beef Club for 13 years, Sean is also an advisor and founding member of the Ontario Junior Angus Association.

Large crowd gathers to learn more about teenage brain steve.newman@metroland.com

Janet Springer of Jeffreyʼs Lake has experienced the horrific nightmare of losing a child to suicide, but sheʼs not alone. Partly through her support of the Do It For Daron campaign in support of youth mental health, she encourages others to become more equipped to deal with mental issues affecting their children and other young people. Itʼs a topic of growing interest, particularly since several Renfrew County youngsters have taken their own lives in the last two years. Adults are concerned, and that was evident, with about 175 people at a special workshop held March 20 at the Cobden agricultural hall. The sponsor was Renfrew Rotary Club, of which Springer is a member. She also introduced the eveningʼs guest speaker. Steven Walsh, who presented Letʼs Talk About Mental Health and the Teenage Brain. He is an Algonquin College lecturer, parent and registered nurse at The Royal (Ottawa Hospital). If thereʼs something youth donʼt need to hear, said Walsh, itʼs rejection of their feelings. “Feelings are never wrong,” said Walsh. “Listen and validate their feelings.” And if youʼre afraid of making your child cry, donʼt be. “Crying is good, because then parents can provide com-

fort … Itʼs not a bad thing. Itʼs called letting emotions out.” These talks may have to be scheduled too, so the youngster doesnʼt feel ambushed. Walsh says it doesnʼt have to be a long time, either, but try to make that time deep and meaningful. And if the adult gets stuck, in dealing with such issues, reach out for support, said Phoenix Centre executive director Greg Lubimiv. “Understand that your kids may push you away, but they still need you, and itʼs something you need to stay on top of.” The workshop was intended to feature Walshʼs presentation, brief comments from Phoenix Centre executive director Greg Lubimiv and a question-and-answer session. However, Walshʼs lengthy, but fairly-quick paced talk, ran from about 7 p.m. until 9:15, leaving personal questions only to be answered by Walsh and a colleague during the intermission and after his talk. People stayed around for 30 minutes asking questions. Rotary Club members anticipate holding another similar, but longer session, in the Renfrew area. Meanwhile, Rotarians, including Springer, Kent Tubman and John Wilson, expressed satisfaction with the turnout and the need to continue educational sessions about mental health and young people. Another local parent, who asked not to be identified, says

she and her husband now have a few more tools to help their adult-age child, who was suicidal as a youngster. She said there also needs to be more access to professional care. Renfrew teenager Amanda Tubman said the topic deserves attention from adults and teenagers. “Obviously, itʼs really important to be aware, to be educated. Itʼs a responsibility to be educated,” said Tubman, who says her school, Renfrew Collegiate Institute, is among those who would benefit from such information sessions. “I would say there are people (at school) who are not in a good place (as far as their mental health).” Teacher Jennifer Morris of Petawawaʼs General Panet High School said more sessions, like the one held March 20, are needed to help teachers and other adults deal more effectively with young peopleʼs mental health issues. “Iʼm huge on this,” said Morris, who stressed that parents and teachers need information to help them create an action plan. Jody Kitson-Roy, a Cobden resident, parent of three children and principal at Palmer Rapids Public School, said one of the major caveats of the workshop was the advice to “be a really good listener (to youngsters) and not to necessarily give advice. “At this age, theyʼre really worried about disappointing

their parents, so how do we deal with that disappointment?” After hearing Walshʼs presentation, she suggests the route for parents and educators to take is to be big on praise and listening, and a lot shorter on advice. The session was also helpful, said Kitson-Roy, because it provided many signs and symptoms of poor mental health, including the desire to kill oneself. RISK FACTORS

Walsh cited such suicide risk factors as depression, previous attempts to commit suicide, social networks, bullying, alcohol, low self-esteem, substance abuse, anxiety, eating disorders and gender. For example, Walsh said more males die of suicide, but more females attempt suicide. Protective factors, said Walsh, include social support, but not always too large a web. For example, Walsh said research shows that having two or three supportive people in oneʼs life is as effective as having four to eight. Other protective factors include positive parent-youth relationships, parental supervision, school connections (whether sports or other ac-

On that final point, Walsh stresses that youngsters need to be kept in the loop, to be informed by doctors, counsellors or others about their own treatment plan. Specific warning signs that

a youngster is facing suicidal, or other mental-health, issues, include the following: expressing suicidal intent, telling oneʼs final wishes to someone, giving away prized possessions, loss of energy or appetite, repeated expressions of hopelessness or helplessness, and loss of interest in friends.

Crisis support walk-in clinic for youth to open in June steve.newman@metroland.com

Youth worker Tom Sidney of Renfrew has long maintained Renfrew County is in serious need of more professional assistance for youth at risk and their families. And now somethingʼs being done about it. A nine-month pilot project, made possible through area Rotary club financing, is the Renfrew County Crisis Support Centre for Youth & Families that opens in June. The once-a-week pilot project will open June 5 in Pembroke and June 6 in Renfrew. The clinic will offer a walk-in crisis clinic as well as a parent support group and a community training centre. The clinic will facilitate workshops by registered trainers with Living Works Safe TALK and Suicide TALK programs. Youth and their family members will be able to receive crisis intervention, including de-escalation support and referrals for long-term professional care. The clinic will specialize in suicide intervention, self-injury assessment and intervention, and support for parents struggling with their own childrenʼs behaviour. The Phoenix Centre remains the countyʼs only official agency dealing with youth mental health, but Sidney hopes the new clinic will reduce visits to hospital emergency departments and

provide help for youth who may be on the Phoenix Centreʼs waiting list. That waiting list is four months or longer, says Phoenix Centre executive director Greg Lubimiv. Sidney will be the primary youthcrisis worker in both Pembroke and Renfrew. He will also have a team of volunteers, including some area social workers, while the projectʼs administrator is Monique Yashinskie of Pembroke who has had her own tragic connection to suicide. Her son Robbie committed suicide Aug. 19, 2011 when he was 18 years old. His mother says he was diagnosed with depression nine months earlier, but did not fit the description of many suicide victims, who have been bullied or experienced gender or substance-abuse issues. “He was an amazing boy,” she says of her son, who was a straight Aʼs student at Bishop Smith Catholic High School. He also graduated at the top of his military reserves class, and had a pickup truck, a girlfriend, a job and tons of friends. “Depression is a physical illness, just like diabetes and cancer, and it shows itself in the late teenager years,” said Yashinskie. She says her son was being treated in Ottawa because he couldnʼt get treatment at the Phoenix Centre. It can also take time to find the right medical dosage and right fit with counselling for

brain of adults, itʼs important not to treat them like an adult, suggested Walsh. “We have to remember,” he said, “that teenagers are under a lot of stress.”

Continued from page 3

The latter is a “hallmark sign,” said Walsh. Another is sudden change in appearance or behaviour, for better or for worse. “I get concerned about that one,” said Walsh, suggesting it may more worrisome when someone is suddenly up or more positive, perhaps because they have accepted that suicide is the solution to their situation. Even more difficult, on many occasions, is determining how to intercede or trouble-shoot with a youngster, said Walsh. “Donʼt beat around the bush,” said Walsh about asking the youngster if he or she is having suicidal thoughts. At the same time, he said itʼs important to continue to engage in conversation without jumping to ask about suicide a second time too quickly. At the same time, the conversation needs to explore how the person is feeling, why they want to die, and also why they donʼt want to die. Itʼs also important, said Walsh, to ask such questions as whether the person is feeling unbearable pain or desperation, and how, when and where they might activate any suicide plan. Itʼs also important for the adult to say, “Weʼre really wor-

someone suffering from depression, and in Robbieʼs case the right fit wasnʼt found in time, she added. Through the new Crisis Support Clinic, she hopes three main things are accomplished: 1. youth are kept safe; 2. youth have a place to go if they are on a treatment waiting list; and 3. parents find support for themselves and for their kids who are suicidal or hurting themselves. Funding for the crisis centre was only confirmed March 15. Lubimiv says he hopes the Phoenix Centre and the Crisis Support Clinic can work together to provide effective service for youth and their families. “Thereʼs always a need for more service and service co-ordination. Although we provide 24-7 service for crisis response for children and youth … the idea of testing out a walk-in clinic is of interest and worth exploring.” He was speaking about the call-centre that is answered by the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa. Components of the new clinic that Lubimiv particularly likes are the development of support groups for parents and the crisis-response training. That training, says Sidney, will include suicide-intervention education for about 200 professionals and members of the public over the pilot projectʼs first nine months. Ideally, says Sidney, the pilot project will result in the creation of crisis support clinic satellites in several communities across Renfrew County.

This includes expressing a sense of hope for the youngster and, even more importantly, helping the youngster to agree not to kill themselves for a manageable period of time. Expressing that sense of hope is part of creating resiliency in youth while attributing that perspective to Childrenʼs Hospital of Eastern Ontario child psychiatrist Michael Cheng. Because the teenage brain is wired so differently than the

Walsh got a big laugh from the crowd when he showed a cartoonistʼs illustration of the teenager brain, which was dominated by the birds and the bees lobe, while the glands for judgment, peer-pressure resistance, and the ability to be seen in public with parents were barely distinguishable. Other sizable parts of the brain, according to the cartoonist, were devoted to self image, fitting in, the instructability cortex, the super turbo rebellion centre, the slam door reflex, car keys craving, memory for music, Internet and phone addictions, and every episode of the Simpsons. Lubimiv reminded the audience that several help lines are available, including the centreʼs 24-hour crisis line (1877-377-7775) for children, youth and parents that has been in place for seven years. “Spread the word and talk to your kids. But when you get stuck, donʼt stay stuck. Donʼt be afraid to ask for help yourself. We are asking our kids to ask for help, so we need to be prepared to ask for help ourselves.”

Metroland East community newspapers do well in provincial competition Metroland East newspapers received five awards and one honorable mention at the Ontario Community Newspapers Association (OCNA) Better Newspaper Competition awards and gala this past weekend. The annual awards ceremony, which recognizes the quality of work produced by OCNA member newspapers, took place March 22 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Vaughan. In the category of General Excellence (Class 5 circulation 12,500 to 22,999), The Renfrew Mercury EMC captured third pace in a category with 16 entries. “The Renfrew Mercury EMC has a great editorial package with editorial on local business that goes way beyond puffery,” the judges wrote. “A nice front page among the best layouts in the category, with a fabulous selection of local news. Could use tighter writing and editing. With a great sports section, catchy headlines, and lots of colour throughout. This is a lovely paper all around.” The West Carleton Review EMC captured third place honours in two Premier Awards categories – Best News Story and Best Rural Story. Interim managing editor Theresa Fritzʼs news story on the tragic hit and run death of 26-year-old mother Erin Vance in March 2012 definitely struck a chord with the judge in this category on its way to its third place honour. There were 27 entries in this

In the Premier Awards category of Best Feature/News Series, Kanata Kourier-Standard EMC reporter Jessica Cunha shared in the third place finish by Oshawa This Week for the Fundraising Fever series. This was a Metroland special project series and Cunha was one of the reporters who took part in the project. The series ran in all Metroland East papers as well. There were 53 entries in this category. “This is a great series. All the readerʼs questions are answered and it brings forward something that is of high interest to all readers, and a topic that many may not be aware of. Layout is well done with blocks of text efficiently broken up as well,” wrote the judge in this category. “The use of the fundraising breakdown chart, too, is a great way to pull a potentially uninterested reader in, and I can only assume that would be good enough to then make them read the stories. Great job. This is a story thatʼs been done before in other markets, but never quite in this way, that Iʼve seen. Any time a reporter can take something and make it his own – while putting an entirely news perspective on whatʼs happening – thatʼs worthy of placement. Interim managing editor Theresa Fritz is pleased with the honours awarded to the Metroland East papers. “It is always an honour to be

There were 24 entries in this category. The judge in this category said “reporter Derek Dunnʼs great little story about a community bingo had great impact. Since the sixties, community members enjoy this outdour bingo but the provincial government cracked down, noting bingo is gambling and no children allowed.” The judge continued that Dunnʼs story “certainly deserves some follow up, and it would be interesting to see if provincially elected representatives could press for changes to allow children to attend bingo. Obviously children in this community want to do just that.” The West Carleton Review EMC also received Honorable Mention in the Best Front Page Premier Awards category which saw 31 entries.

Renfrew Home Show a success DEREK DUNN/METROLAND

Kyle and Christie Marki, along with smiling little Marlee, were among the many at the Past Renfrew Home Show organizer Scott Yemen is with current organizer Tammy Logan armories last Sunday afternoon. The young family shopping for home-related goods and of the Renfrew Chamber of Commerce. Along with myFM, organizers have put together a services was among the target demographic organizers were after. home show for about 20 years.

Steve Ride of Renfrew Home Hardware Rentals is hard-pressed to say how many items his company rents every year, suffice to say it’s beyond the hundreds. Popular rentals, Ride said, who was at the Renfrew Home Show last weekend, include carpet cleaners and floor nailers.

Kare to Organize owner Karry Morrell, standing, and Stacia Prince Designs owner Stacia Prince had the largest and perhaps most impressive display at this year’s Renfrew Home Show. The home and office organizer and space designer stress that clients will save time, money and aggravation if they get their project done right the first time. As for a spring style tip? It cost little to spruce up a room, maybe a colouful throw or pillow cover – in yellow, purple or lime – will take the winter drabs off an entire livingroom.

Jeff Wilcox, president of Georgeʼs Marine & Sports, has announced the addition of a third location, at 4000 Bath Road in Kingston. “We are excited to announce our recent purchase of the Blue Woods Marina in Kingston. We have been actively looking for an on-the-water location to bring another dimension to our business as part of our expansion plans,” he said. “The addition of a marina will enhance our services and give us greater opportunities to serve all our customers in eastern Ontario. “Weʼre looking forward to being a part of the community and giving our clientele in the Kingston area a taste of what weʼre known for and continuously deliver; outstanding customer

service,” he said. The new location in Kingston will give Georgeʼs direct access to their customers by land or water in the Thousand Islands, Lake Ontario and surrounding waterways. Agreements are now in place for the Kingston location to carry a full line-up from Bayliner, Regal, Harris Flotebote Pontoons, Tracker, Crestliner and Berkshire Pontoons. A news release from the company says additional manufacturers will be added in the future, providing a full range of boat types and styles for any budget. Extensive renovations to both the store and the marina are planned for the Bath Road facility and will be fully operational by late summer.

During the renovations the marina will be open to slip holders only. In addition to being a full service dealership, offering boat sales and service, the new Kingston location will also offer a 75-slip marina. Georgeʼs Marine & Sports has retail locations in Ottawa, Carp Road and their original store in Eganville,.

The Ottawa ofďŹ ces of the Canadian Revenue Agency and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans are expected to cut a combined $367 million over the next six years. The two agencies were targeted for review in Finance Minister Jim FlahertyĘźs 2013-2014 budget, tabled Thursday afternoon. Further cuts at Fisheries and Oceans are to begin this year, with $4 million chopped from head ofďŹ ce operations this year. That number increases to $33 million every year between 2015-2016 and 2017-2018, for a total of $108 million over six years. According to the federal governmentĘźs ofďŹ cial estimates the departmentĘźs total cost to tax payers in 2012 amounted to under $1.7 billion. “The department will modernize the organizational structure of its headquarters in order to provide cost-effective services to Canadians,â€? the document reads. The cuts at CRA are more drastic -- $19 million this year, $58 million in 2014-2015, and $61 million each year between 2015-2016 and 2017-2018, for a total of $259 million over the six-year period. The tax agencyĘźs total budget in 2012 was under $4.3 billion according to government estimates. At the same time, the tax agency is expected to do more with less, cracking down on tax evaders. The tax collection changes are expected to bring a whopping $2.35 billion into federal coffers over six years.

al of FedDev Ontario, the Eastern Ontario Development Program will be renewed as well. The program will continue to promote job creation and business development in rural Eastern Ontario. • Increased skills and training support, including the new $15,000 Canada Job Grant, to help more Canadians ďŹ nd high-quality, well-paying jobs; • Tax breaks for manufacturers who buy new machinery and equipment to stay competitive, and an extended Ęťhiring creditĘź for small businesses that create jobs; • A record $70 billion federal investment in infrastructure across Canada, including roads, bridges, subways, rail lines, and ports; • Major investments in research and technology; • New tax relief for Canadians who give to charity, adopt a child, or rely on homecare services; • Elimination of Ęťimport taxĘź tariffs on everyday items Canadian families buy, like baby clothing, sports gear, and exercise equipment. Economic Action Plan 2013 also conďŹ rmed, said the news release, the Conservative governmentĘźs continued all-time record support for hospitals, schools, and other important health and social services in Ontario. “Unlike the 1990s, we will not slash transfers to healthcare and education services that hard-working Canadian families depend on,â€? said Gallant. “Nor will we follow the NDPĘźs plan for risky tax schemes, like a $21 billion carbon tax, that will raise the price on everything Canadians buy. Our Conservative government is protecting the services that Ontario families depend on.â€?

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson applauded the federal ConservativeĘźs decision to extend infrastructure funding over a decade, saying it brings the cleanup of the Ottawa River one step closer to reality. “I think the federal government now has a greater appreciation for the fact that (municipalities) want longterm, predictable funding,â€? said Watson last week. “The next push is for long-term, predictable and increased funding.â€? In the budget tabled by Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, the federal government committed to extending infrastructure cash from the Community Improvement Fund and a “newâ€? Building Canada fund. The lionĘźs share of the funding— $32.2 billion over the course of 10 years— is a continuation of the Gas Tax Fund and a GST rebate. Another $14 billion will be funneled through a “newâ€? Building Canada fund. That funding starts small, at around $210 million in 2014, and ramps up to $2.1 billion in 2023. The money doesnĘźt really start owing until 2016, after the Conservatives are projecting a balanced budget. The municipality has made the cleanup of the Ottawa River its top infrastructure priority now that light rail is funded and underway. All told, the federal infrastructure funding averages about $4.7 billion a year for 10 years -- one billion less per year than Watson and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities had called for.

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant says the new federal budget – Economic Action Plan 2013 – and its continued focus on job creation, economic growth, and longterm prosperity is good news for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke. The plan, which will see Canada return to balanced budgets in 2015, keeps federal taxes at their lowest level in 50 years, says a news release from GallantĘźs ofďŹ ce. “While Canada has the best job creation record among all G-7 countries since the worst of the global recession with over 950,000 net new jobs, we recognize that the global economy remains very challenging,â€? said MP Gallant. “In Economic Action Plan 2013, our Conservative government remains squarely focused on the number one priority of Canadians, with a forward-looking plan to help create jobs and grow the economy in Ontario and across Canada.â€? Gallant said Economic Action Plan 2013 includes such key measures to strengthen CanadaĘźs economy as: • Ensuring a Safe and Reliable Medical Isotope Supply: investing $144 million in AECLĘźs (Atomic Energy of Canada Limited) Chalk River Laboratories to ensure Canada has a reliable supply of medical isotopes. • Community Improvement Fund: announcing the Community Improvement Fund ($32.2 billion over 10 years through Gas Tax Fund payments and under the incremental GST Rebate) to help municipalities in Renfrew County and across Canada with stable and predictable funding to support community infrastructure projects. • Building a Stronger Economy in Eastern Ontario: as part of the renew-

Time to make it a spring break The response to a recent web poll in The Renfrew Mercury shows some discontent regarding the timing of March break. A few respondents wanted the break from school (and from work for many) expanded to two weeks, as is the case in provinces such as British Columbia. Some people actually want the week-long break eliminated, but thatʼs not going to happen. Too much is invested economically in giving people an opportunity to take a week off for a late-winter holiday without their children losing a week of school. Itʼs a chance for merchants and travel agents to encourage people to spend away their winter blues. However, the break could be scheduled at another time rather than mid-March. Itʼs often referred to as spring break, which is a misnomer, as spring rarely arrives until after the week is over. So perhaps it should be made into a real Spring Break by moving it to late April or early May; especially now we have a Family Day long weekend in February. Then maybe more people would holiday, and spend, closer to home instead of fleeing to warmer climes. But it wouldnʼt make the ski hills and airlines happy. However, the way global warming is upset-

ting our winters, it may not be too long when ski hills and other winter sports will be long over by mid-March. Another train of thought is that the weeklong break be moved around in conjunction with Easter. That way the two late-winter/earlyspring breaks would be combined into one. It would still give people the full week off, yet mean students would miss one less day of school. The missing school aspect seems to be a factor in some peopleʼs thinking, especially as the number of snow days appears to be increasing as our weather becomes more bizarre. The Easter Break link would also give the break an extra meaning, although only for Christians. Another respondent was so bold to suggest that the week-long break from school shouldnʼt be in March or spring-time at all. It should be in the first week of November, to coincide with hunting season, said the lad, who obviously has deep roots in the Valley. No, March break should stay at least close to where it is now. Probably the best solution would be to schedule it so the first day of spring falls within the week. That way we could all really have a Spring Break.

COLUMN

Soapy obsessions, spring and success LUCY HASS View from The ‘Frew For a long time I didnʼt care much for soap operas, except in college when I tuned in every so often to see what Mac and Rachel were up to in the fictional Bay City. Another World was, well, another world. I only watched a few of the soapʼs 8,891 episodes that ran from May 4, 1964 to June 25, 1999 – enough to make me grateful for the simplicity of my life. For decades I lived without the drama, but in recent years Iʼve found myself pulled back into the vortex of daytime drama – this time, with The Young and the Restless. The show celebrates its 40th anniversary this year and Iʼm sure there are viewers out there who remember the young Victor and Nicki. I only

know the aging couple, back in love again for the umpteenth time. Some of the characters amuse me. Some annoy me. Some creep me out. And the black- sheep son Adam fascinates me. Every so often the show goes off on a crazy tangent and I find myself turning away. Silly stuff. Yet somehow I always find my way back, unable to look away. Because at the end of a long day at work, thereʼs a simple comfort in kicking back and watching The Young and the Restless; satisfied to be one of The Old and The Contented. SPRING IS IN THE AIR

Donʼt be fooled by the recent cool temperatures. Spring is certainly here. The telltale signs are all around us, most notably at retail outlets across town. What could be more indicative of spring than the sudden outcropping of garden centres. The fencing is up, bags of soil are stacked high, and soon tray upon tray of budding annuals and perennials will arrive.

And recently I spotted a delivery truck backing up to the side door at the Dairy Queen on OʼBrien Road. And chip stands will soon open their counters. Hopefully the streets and sidewalks will soon clear so people can walk, run or cycle off the treats. TEAM EFFORT

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Connected to your community

Concerns over current aboriginal agreement in principle ties involved in this exercise wish to achieve their stated goal, “to reach a settlement that is sensitive to the interests of all the people who live, work and enjoy this part of Ontario (see Crane Letter Renfrew Mercury, March 14), then I suggest they should speak with those directly affected. The general presentation sessions are of little use at this stage. It seems to this writer that this is simply a ploy by the hired guns to see how static is generated at these meetings. It is a well-known fact that most people do not wish to express their viewpoints in public. This is doubly true in this case, as you run the risk of being accused of being a racist or some other unflattering label. When there is little or no objection at these types of meetings, then the negotiators can go back to their masters with an “allʼs well” signal. As far as this writer and many other residents on Lake Clear are concerned, all is not well at all! The proposal that the Algonquins receive Crown Lands as part of the settlement around Lake Clear in and of itself is not as contentious as the proposal that they receive the Crown-owned islands. If the negotiators had taken the time and the trouble to inquire from the residents or the Lake Clear associations, they would have ascertained that the islands

are of great importance to them. If you wonder how the residents feel about the islands with their pristine nature, contemplate, if you will, how the First Nations People view the proposed pipeline to the west coast of British Columbia. The islands are part of the essence and beauty of this lake, and are there for all to enjoy whether or not you own property there or just visit for the day. Many years ago, the Township of Sebastopol (now part of Bonnechere Valley Township) did not have any meaningful building bylaws. The then cottagers association was asked to draft one and it became incorporated into the existing bylaws of the present township. One of the major components of that bylaw, which is still in force, was that there was to be no development on the islands and there was to be no back-lot development of the lake-frontage lots. It was been suggested that, if the Algonquins acquire the islands, they would be subject to the existing bylaws. I doubt that to be the case, but even so, how long would it be before the bylaw is court-challenged. At present, everyone in Ontario is free to go and enjoy the islands, camp on them, swim from them, fish from them, or generally just view their pristine beauty. No one would want them disturbed.

The Ontario government should not transfer the islands to the Algonquins, but, if the government is hell-bent on giving them away, then give them to the Lake Clear Conservancy, which has been looking after the islands for years. Oh yes, I, with two others, own one of the islands purchased 20 or more years ago. We pay taxes on this island and it was bought so that it would remain free of buildings and be available for all to use. If common sense cannot prevail and the islands must be transferred to the Alqonquins, will our government obtain in writing an agreement that no structure of any kind will be erected on any of the islands; and that there will be no back-lot development on shore property; and that the building bylaws now in place will be not challenged; and finally that everyone is free to use the islands as they have in the past. Unless there is some other agenda, one has to wonder why the Algonquins would want to own the islands, as ownership just gives one the right to pay taxes on them. Hopefully, someone from our government will consult with its constituents about this issue before it reaches the point of no return. Wayne Spooner, Q.C. Renfrew

Derby effort appreciated To the editor: On behalf of the Canadian Ectodermal Dysplasia board of directors, and all our supporter families, I would like to extend a heartfelt thank-you to the Castleford Fishing Derby/Charity Committee and all those who donated a prize or bought a ticket to support this great annual event. We were blessed to receive a donation last year as well, and because of that contribution we established a support fund program to help children and their parents with the costs associated with ectodermal dysplasias. This includes cooling vests, dental and medical supports and wigs/hair pieces. We have also developed a new medical directory so Canadians needing knowledgeable medical professionals can come to us for guidance. This yearʼs $2,300 donation will enable us to help even more families, along with producing school and community information packages for our families to use to explain their childʼs unique medical needs to coaches, teachers and activity leaders. We are very lucky to live in a community with so much support and generosity of spirit – many young children in the Ottawa Valley, Ontario and across the country have a better life because of your support. Thank you to all the organizers and participants, we are grateful. Meghan Howard President and executive director Canadian Ectodermal Dysplasia Syndromes Association

To the editor: In his letter to the editor of The Renfrew Mercury in the March 14, 2013 edition, Brian Crane, the chief Ontario negotiator on the Algonquin Land Claim, among other things, states, “Ontario remains committed to consulting with the public on a continuing basis to make sure all interests are understood and considered fully in these negotiations.” The question I have is simple: With whom did they negotiate in this so-called commitment. One of the land give-aways is on Lake Clear in the Bonnechere Valley. There was no consultation with the Lake Clear Property Ownersʼ Association or with the Lake Clear Conservancy or the mayor or council of Bonnechere Valley (where Lake Clear is located) before the so-called agreement in principle was produced. Neither public nor private information sessions, as advertised by the negotiators, can be considered consultation or negotiation. These sessions are all after the fact. It seems clear that political interests have dictated the agenda. The taxpayers and long-time resident and, I might add, the protectors of this lake have been left out of any meaningful discussion and have been totally ignored in the development of this so-called Agreement in Principle. If Mr. Crane and the other par-

4-H to celebrate 100 years in gala style this season Violette Stepaniuk 4-H

4-H members, leaders, supporters, and alumni from across the country will gather in Winnipeg on May 30 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of 4-H in Canada. “In an age when organizations seem to come and go in a short span of time, the longevity of the 4-H movement is something worth celebrating,” said 4-H president Rob Black. “Since 1913, two million young Canadians have been members of our clubs and have taken part in hundreds of thousands of projects focused

on giving them the opportunity to learn to do by doing.” The centrepiece event in a year of local, regional and national festivities is the 100th anniversary gala evening on May 30 at the Fairmont Winnipeg featuring a “Manitoba flare” menu paired with wine from Ontario. The event will celebrate the importance of food production and sustainability as well as the role of youth as future leaders in feeding a growing world population. Dr. Roberta Bondar, Canadaʼs first female astronaut, will be the eventʼs keynote speaker. 4-H will also host a Night

at the Museum May 31 in Roland, Man., the birthplace of the 4-H movement in Canada. Organizers promise it will be an evening to remember with great food, special presentations and the unveiling of a Canada Post commemorative envelope. “We want this to be a real 4-H family reunion to celebrate the centenary of this remarkable organization and to mark the beginning of the next chapter in our history,” said Black. For tickets to the gala and the 4-H Night at the Museum, go to www.4-h-canada.ca, email 100@4-h-canada.ca or call 613-234-4448, ext 26.

The gentlemen of Douglas ďŹ re station have been playing cards for the past 40 years and cracking jokes even longer. The group meets every Tuesday for game night. “This MRI is something Renfrew County has needed for a while,â€? said Bill Hodgins. “Making this contribution to the campaign was the right thing for us to do. As volunteer ďŹ reďŹ ghters we helped people,â€? he added.

“This is another way of supporting our community and region, by making sure that we have local access to essential diagnostic equipment,â€? reected Bob Holmes. Accepting the $500 cheque was Pembroke Regional Hospital Foundation executive director Nancy Warren. “March is MRI Awareness Month, and gifts like these really reect the heart of Renfrew County,â€? said Warren. “It is a collection of friends, pitching in and having fun together while improving the lives of others.â€?

Although the chances of it happening are rare, and many of us donĘźt want to think about it, abduction is a real occurrence. SJHS played host to the Masoni CHIP program this past Monday, a clinic which allows students and children from the community to have information and characteristics taken down and put on a disc. This information, which includes voice recordings, dental records, ďŹ ngerprints and more, is essential for a fast police investigation should an abduction happen. On a lighter note, the Prom Show, held this past Thursday evening was a

Uptown Girls in the fold Program Facilitator

A faithful group of resident volunteers were recognized on Feb. 25 for their dedication and untiring work as Uptown Girls at Groves Park Lodge. The 11 ladies can be seen folding towels, face cloths

and aprons at 10:30 a.m. every day of the week in Crystal Lounge. This activity combines physical exercise with a social setting that keeps the girls coming back. This dedicated group goes above and beyond and were very pleased to be part of a special luncheon,

where they received flowers and an embroidered fleece blanket for their efforts. The Groves Park Lodge activity department raised money through lunches and bake sales to provide this special surprise for the ladies. Thank you to everyone who supported the cause.

A salute to Colin Warren Marleen Warren

Bonnechere Manor provided the audience and Young Country added the entertainment. Ryerson Warren and Braedon Vincent, both 15, displayed their talent in concert, performing a tribute to the late Colin Warren, who was Ryersonʼs grandfather and Braedonʼs great uncle. A resident of the manor since 2011, Warren passed away on Jan. 19, 2013. This was the boysʼ first live concert, with a full

house watching. All the manor residents that attended were smiles and some even dancing. The good old-fashioned country songs were loved by all. It was two hours of music, song and just an allaround good time. Thanks go to manor staff, to those who provided refreshments, and to Bonnechere Manor residents, family and friends who attended. With such a great response, you will be hearing from Young CounTANYA VINCENT try again. Their inspiration, Braedon Vincent, left, and Ryerson of course, is Colin Warren. Warren of Young Country.

Fundraising for the resident fund also started with a sweetheart basket draw Feb. 14.

A pancake breakfast for staff was initiated by resident Janet Craig as she and activities staff prepared the delicious treat on Shrove Tuesday. Entertainers continue to bring music to the home for the residents and families to sing-a-long with or tap, clap or even dance to. Their efforts are greatly appreciated. March included our spaghetti Dinner with a draw for a St. Patrickʼs themed quilt and basket of green.

Rotary Club trivia night is a success Douglas Blenkhorn Renfrew Rotary Club

The Rotary Club of Renfrew recently held a trivia night in Renfrew Rotary Hall at the Bonnechere Manor. Ninety players organized in 20 creative teams tried to find answers to many very trivial questions. The winning team of Keith Gourley, Kyle Rowley, Matt Cahill, Dave Gallagher, Steve Cahill and Paul Simard chose to donate their winnings to this initiative of the Rotary Club. The Renfrew Rotary Club wishes to acknowledge the work of Janet Springer in organizing the event and Andrew Ritchie and Dennis Yakaback for putting together and presenting the questions. The Rotary Club plans to use the proceeds of this event to support local youth mental health initiatives. The Phoenix Centre and the Royal Ottawa Hospital will have teams coming to the area in the near future to present programs to youth and parents regarding this very important issue in our society. On March 20 the Royal Ottawa Hospital Team presented Mental Health 101, which focussed on the signs, what to do and where to go for help. This free event was held at the Cobden Agricultural Hall, 43 Astrolabe Road.

for the Greater Vancouver Theatre Alliance and the Puppets Up festival in Almonte. Trish is also an accomplished puppet and mask maker. This workshop is an innovative partnership between the Bonnechere River Watershed Project (www.BonnechereRiver. ca) and Trish Leeper of Double-Take Productions (www.tleeper.com). The workshop begins at 10 a.m. and runs to 3 p.m. A registration fee of $50 includes lunch. Send an email to info@bonnechereriver.ca to register.

R0011995586

A basic puppetry workshop – the art of breathing life in to an inanimate object – otherwise known as puppeteering, is coming to the Neat Café in Burnstown on Sunday April 14. The workshop will explore techniques such as breath, focus, movement and lip sync, mostly working with Muppet-style puppets. When everyone has a handle on some of the basics, there will be some fun to be had with simple improvisation and play. Maybe even a look at what is involved in performing puppets for the camera. (YouTube anyone?) Novices and puppeteers with some experience are encouraged to join – thereʼs always something to be learned. Everyone is invited to bring their own puppets if they have any. The Bonnechere River Watershed Project spokesfrog for 2013, Bonnie Chere, will be there for you to animate if you are interested. The workshop instructor, Trish Leeper, began her career as a puppeteer performing Ma Gorg in the TV series Fraggle Rock and as Katie and

Barbara Plum on Sesame Street in Canada. She has since worked extensively in TV and film (Short Circuit 2) as well as touring internationally with Theatre Beyond Words, Potato People and Theatre Les Deux Mondes, Tale of Teeka. Recently she co-founded The Manipulators which debuted at the Puppetʼs Up festival in Almonte. As well as acting as puppet coach for numerous productions involving puppetry and mask, she has taught classes and given workshops in technique and performance in many schools and, most recently,

He is quoted saying that the paint reacts very differently from the start of the painting and as he proceeds. Dealing with buses going by and walkers on the bridge does not seem to hinder his marathon of painting. He closed his Hintonburg gallery due to zoning laws but is looking to relocate in the near future. Interesting person? Yes, he is, and he is coming to speak at the guild meeting on April 2 at 7 p.m. at Trinity-St. AndrewĘźs United Church 291 Plaunt St. Please use Quarry St. entrance.. Come along, visitors welcome to hear Patrick John as he shares his stories with us. The Renfrew Art Guild is open to artists old and new. For further information, call Fred Halliwell 613432-9911.

Well, it is the ďŹ rst days of spring and we are having a hard time getting rid of Old Man Winter. Some tackle him head on by skiing, snowshoeing, or snowmobiling. Some of us just pull the comforter over our heads and wait for summer. One artist does none of that; he paints outside in the cold! IĘźm speaking of Patrick John Mills. He has been featured in Ottawa newspapers, and on TV and radio about his marathon painting in March. He decided to paint the Ottawa landscape from the Mackenzie King Bridge. That in itself is not anything new but in the middle of winter with the snow blowing and the temperature is way below 0 degrees? Patrick John does not paint small, his canvases can be six feet wide. Use your imagination and picture this, six foot canvas, a man with paintbrush in his hand and surrounded by boxes of oil paint.

Watch for counterfeit bills, warns Renfrew detachment of OPP The Renfrew OPP is warning business owners and consumers to carefully examine all currency as it changes hands. Three investigations recently led to suspected counterfeit money being seized. One $5 bill and two $100 bills have been forwarded to the RCMP for investigation, but they are believed to be counterfeit. Further information on security features to check for on currency is available at your local bank, or by going to www.bankofcanada.ca

and left the scene. Upon police arrival, the male suspect was taken into custody. Police patrolled the area and located the female suspect and arrested her. A Pembroke man, 25, was charged with theft under $5,000, possession of stolen property, assault, and resisting arrest. A Golden Lake woman, 38, was charged with assault, theft under $5,000 and possession of sto-

len property. Both accused parties were released on a promise to appear in Renfrew court April 24. Const. Jason Cholette led the investigation. STOLEN VEHICLE RECOVERED

On March 13 about 11:40 p.m. a resident of Whitewater Region noticed two males stealing their neighbourʼs pick-up truck and called po-

lice. A description of the vehicle and suspects was provided and the vehicle was located shortly afterwards on Hwy. 60 in North Algona Wilberforce. The passenger fled on foot, while the driver was arrested at the scene. The passenger was arrested a short time later. The passenger, an 18-year-old male from Admaston-Bromley was charged with theft under $5,000 and

two counts of failing to comply with a sentence of the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA). He was held in custody for a bail hearing where he was released on a recognizance for Pembroke court March 26. The driver, a 19-yearold Admaston-Bromley man, was charged with theft under $5,000, possession of stolen property, and driving over 80 mgs.

THEFTS

March 11 about 3:50 p.m. an offduty OPP officer observed a male leaving Rexall Pharmacy in Renfrew without making any attempt to pay for an item. The officer arrested the male outside the store for theft and reported the theft to the store. Police were called and three stolen items were recovered. A 32-year-old Renfrew man was charged with theft under $5,000 and breach of probation. March 14 about 2 p.m. store security at No Frills followed two shoplifters outside and placed the male and female under arrest. The security officer struggled with the male who resisted being arrested. A store employee approached to assist the security officer and the female suspect shoved the employee, then got into a vehicle

Reeve Green faces charge Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Renfrew Reeve and former mayor Audrey Green is facing a new challenge on the political front. The veteran municipal politician is scheduled to appear in provincial court April 10 on the charge of failing to provide a breathalyzer sample. The 84-year-old veteran politician, who was driving on Airth Boulevard, was stopped by a Renfrew OPP officer, Const. Kyle Mask, March 14 for a traffic infraction about 9:10 p.m. Green was subsequently asked to provide a suitable breathalyzer sample, but was unable to do so, said the OPP. Without her driverʼs licence, Green may find it more difficult to conduct business for the Renfrew council and Renfrew County council. As Renfrew reeve, Green is a county councillor with numerous committee responsibilities. Those most significant ones are the development and property committee, for which she is vice-chair, and the operations committee. She also has a multitude of smaller committee responsibilities, including the Atomic Energy of Canada Limited Environmental Stewardship Council, the CP Rail corridor advisory committee and the Shaw Woods Outdoor Education Centre. Green was unavailable for comment by The Renfrew Mercury press deadline, but she did speak to a local radio station about the issue shortly after the incident. R0011992293

Expanded exercise program created Pinkham new Groves Park administrator for people living with diabetes Fay O’Reilly

Program Facilitator

A successful pilot project has led to the creation of an expanded exercise program across the Champlain Region for those living with, or at risk for diabetes. Renfrew County diabetes education co-ordinator Karen Roosen said the pilot project, which ran from Dec. 1, 2011 to April 1, 2012, involved a partnership between the diabetes outreach team of the Renfrew County Diabetes Education Program (RCDEP) which is a regional program administered by the Pembroke Regional Hospital, the Ottawa Heart Institute (OHI), the Diabetes Regional Coordination Centre (DRCC) and three Heart Wise Exercise sites in Renfrew County (Best Western Fitness Centre in Pembroke, Pikwakanagan Fitness Centre in Golden Lake and Fun, Fit & Fully Alive at the Whitewater Bromley Community Health Centre (WBCHC) in Beachburg). Key objectives of the project were to: • provide a safe environment for clients with diabetes and/or prediabetes to exercise • motivate clients with diabetes and/or prediabetes to integrate exercise into daily routine • increase the number of diabetes clients participating in exercise programs • increase awareness of diabetes prevention and management through enhanced physical activity To facilitate this, the diabetes outreach team conducted training sessions with staff and participants and worked

closely with the exercise sites to ensure that both received the appropriate support, education and counselling related to their diabetes and exercise program. Roosen managed and coordinated the pilot project, the partner sites provided the space, exercise program and data collection, the OHI oversaw the Heart Wise certiďŹ cation of the sites and lent their expertise to the program and evaluation, and the DRCC assisted with pilot materials and analysis of the evaluation data. “Overall, the project was very helpful in demonstrating the beneďŹ ts of participation in a structured exercise program for those living with, or at risk for diabetes, as well as assessing the comfort level of the trainers who hosted those with diabetes in their classes,â€? Roosen said. In addition, she said the timing of the project couldnĘźt have been better because it coincided with the publication of best practice guidelines by the Canadian Diabetes Association which had strong messaging around the need for regular exercise. That message includes the recommendation that diabetics be involved in a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity spread over a period of three days per week and that they also include resistance exercise as part of their regime a minimum of three times per week. In reviewing results of the project, diabetes educators revealed a low number of refer-

rals were made to the exercise programs due to location and due to program fees, noting that Renfrew County has the largest geographic spread and encompasses 42 per cent of ChamplainĘźs total area. The three pilot sites involved in the pilot were located within a 50-km radius, which limited access for many clients in Renfrew County. ThatĘźs why, based on these ďŹ ndings, recommendations included expanding to additional Heart Wise sites across the county, integrating diabetes and stroke training across the sites, incorporating physical activity sessions into diabetes outreach events and identifying opportunities to implement year-round programs at no cost such as walking programs. Since then, a lot has happened. Roosen said Heart Wise training for ďŹ tness instructors across Champlain now includes speciďŹ c information and a tool kit on diabetes along with training for stroke and cardiac care. In addition, all diabetes educators across the Champlain region have received the new exercise guidelines and best practices. “The Renfrew County Diabetes Education Program appreciates the importance of continued partnerships with the DRCC, OHI and exercise sites, which is key to the success of improving physical activity and creating a healthier lifestyle for residents living with diabetes and/or at risk of developing diabetes,â€? Roosen said.

Groves Park Lodge has entered into this year under the new direction of Donna Pinkham. As the new administrator, Donna brings with her 25 years of experience at the Lodge as a Registered Nurse, clinical supervisor and director of care. Her exceptional abilities have given her this opportunity to further her education and career. The transition from one position to another has been smooth with the guidance of the owners Syed and Gloria Hussain. Donna says, “I have extensive support from a management team of professionals,

support staff and community partners which enable me with conďŹ dence to take on the leadership role of the home. Groves Park Lodge has always worked together as a team to enhance the resident experience while being committed to quality service.â€? As administrator Donna will manage the overall operation of the home and oversee all matters pertaining to the home. Donna will continue communication and relations with the residents and their families, family council, resident council, volunteers, employees, physicians, elected representatives with the LHIN, MOHLTC, CCAC and other stakeholders. The quality of service and

care provided by Groves Park Lodge is shown through the three- year survey program that is performed by Accreditation Canada. Donna and her team continue to assess and improve the expert care given by the staff that meet and exceed the standards as outlined by Accreditation Canada. Currently Groves Park Lodge is in the process of preparing for the next Accreditation Survey which will be completed in May. Donna is looking forward to a busy year and with the help and support of her team, she feels that Groves Park Lodge will continue to thrive and provide the best possible environment and care for the residents.

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. R0011962185

Chilly St. Pat’s Run a resounding success The 2013 St. Patʼs Fun Run was a chilly event, but the spirit was red-hot as about 80 green clad participants raced down Renfrewʼs main street. The participants included Special Olympians, who where accompanied by runners from the RUNfrew Run Club, in an Adoptan-Athlete companion run, led by Special Olympics coach Kinga Czigany MacAskill. MacAskill also created the finish-line banner for the winners. There were runners from Cobden, Pembroke, Arnprior, Shawville and points beyond. “Exercise and laughter were both presDeb Fiebig gives hubby Daryl a St. Paddy’s smooch ent in spite of the chilly but sunny weather,” noted Colleen Berry, one of the key event for good luck at the St. Pat’s Run. organizers. Special Olympic Hall of Fame 2012 inductee Frank Belanger sent the crowd on its way shortly after 10 a.m. from downtownʼs Low Square . The participants ran up Raglan Street to follow the five-kilometre route marked by leprechauns that took them about town to return where they started. “The Pot of Gold at the end of the Rainbow was a bank of goodies each participant received,” said Berry, “I suggested that this bank be used to collect pennies for the upcoming Torch Run for Special Olympics which is annually run by the OPP in May. First to return were Sam Agnew and John Pettigrew with a time of 18:37. They are both RCI students and members of the Renfrew Track and Field. The first female to finish was Allison Wendorf in an unofficial time of 23 minutes. The youngest to finish was Ethan Bourgeois, six years old, of Cobden. The event was hosted by Valley Source for Sports where participants returned after there run for warmth, awards, and draw prizes. Refreshments were provided by RUNfrew Club members, who meet weekly for runs at the 239 Raglan St. location.

The Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club took eight athletes to the OFSAA (Ontario high school) championships in Guelph. Five athletes were from Renfrew Collegiate, two from St. Josephʼs Catholic High School and one from Jeanne Lajoie. Jake Cartman of RCI, in Grade 12, saw himself heading into the gold medal match on the second day. Jakeʼs opponent won the first round and Jake dominated in the second round. The third round was won by Cartmanʼs opponent by only one point, leaving Cartman in

second place over all. Grade 11 student Angel Smith of RCI lost her first match of the day due to two clinches. The score was 0-0 in both rounds and Smith was at a disadvantage for both clinches. Smith continued on to win the next two matches to move into the second day and compete for the bronze or platinum medal. After narrowly being defeated Smith ended up in fourth place and received the platinum medal. Lily LaFont of RCI was challenging to go for third and was winning the match when an injury occurred causing LaFont to withdraw from competition and finish in sixth place. Ida Yates-Lavery and Col-

ton Warren also competed for the Raiders and performed exceptionally well, as they were in tough weight classes. Athena Mitchell and Joey Hanniman competed for the St. Josephʼs Jaguars and represented their school well, with Athena placing eighth overall. Craig Hedden, a Grade 12 student, competed for Jeanne Lajoie and was scouted by the University of Concordia, Montreal. All athletes represented their school well and showed that all the hard work and dedication paid off. A number of these wrestlers will continue to practice in preparation for their national age group championships held in Saskatoon early in April.

Timberwolves swept by Ottawa Canadians

The Wolves were pressing when a point shot rebounded off the shin pads of Ottawaʼs Max Veronneau, who promptly walked in and scored on a breakaway to break the 2-2 deadlock with 3:38 left in the second period. The goal put the Canadians in front to stay. Penalties hurt the Wolves as Jordan Fequet, Mitch Parker and Zack Rheaume gave the Canadians 1-0, 2-1 and 4-2 leads on powerplays. Taylor Collins wrapped it up

The Wolves showed much more passion than that of the 7-0 home-ice loss the night before, but the results were the same. The Renfrew club had its scoring opportunities, but couldnʼt finish off at the Brian Kilrea Arena March 19. In the meantime, the Canadians finish as well as any team in the league. Another quick start saw them in custody of 2-0 and 5-0 leads at the period intervals. Taylor Collins had a pair of goals to steer the Ottawa attack.

After all is said and done, the same two teams that met last year – McGrimmon Holdings and Renfrew Pizzeria – will lock horns in the 2013 Renfrew Menʼs Hockey League final. McGrimmonʼs isnʼt about to give up the championship hardware just yet after battling back from a one-game deficit to win the best-of-three semifinal series over Cybulski Sheet Metal. The three-time defending champs jumped out to a 4-0 lead and cruised to a 7-3 win over CSM to tie the series March 19. Chad Miller had two goals, and Jody Kelly, Mike Newberry, Mark Valliquette, Chad Mullen and Greg Gould singles. Newberry added three assists and Kelly two. Dylon Chreville, Kyle Cybulski and Jason Vincent put Cybulskiʼs on the scoreboard. The series clinching verdict went down to the wire. Valliquette took advantage of break to net a shorthanded marker with 1:45 left in the second period for McGrimmonʼs. It would be the gameʼs only goal. Chris Osborne made 24 stops in posting his third shutout. Steve Miller made 20 saves for Cybulskiʼs. McGrimmon Holdings and Renfrew Pizzeria open their best-of-five final series tonight (Thursday) at 9:30 p.m. Game two is Tuesday at 8 p.m.

CANADIANS 7, WOLVES 2

Still, it would have been good to see how the Wolves might have fared with Jesse Riopelle and Drew Anderson in the lineup. The season brings to an end their junior careers, as well as Ryan Eady and Erik Mask. Riopelle and Mask were both a part of two Renfrew Valley Division championship teams in three years. Ottawaʼs experience showed. They have 13 players born in 1992 or 1993 in the lineup. The younger Wolves team had five. Defenceman Dylan Zavitske broke his nose in game three and played the rest of the way. Wolves coach Tony Iob was pleased to see his team leave it all out on the ice. “It was a good run. It was a little disheartening tonight, losing after we played probably our best game of the series. We just came out a little short,” the coach said. “Iʼm really proud of all the boys and how they came together from the time we came in. Best of luck to all the boys and hopefully weʼll see most of the guys back next year.” The Canadians have reeled off 11 wins in a row as they head into the EOJHL final. The Wolves had a good playoff run. The Valley Division champions went 8-and-5 despite the four losses to Ottawa.

Jordan Fequet, Zack Rheaume, Josh Hartley, Scott Mcilroy and Ben Hartley supplied singles. Casey Doner and Kurtis Leclaire notched powerplay markers for the Wolves in the third period. Donerʼs marker at 6:29 broke a Renfrew goalless streak of 119:34, or 26 seconds shy of a full two games dating back to the 6:55 mark of the third period of game 1 when Scott Conroy connected on a breakaway. Donerʼs tally also set off a brawl which upped penaltyminute totals to 282 minutes for the night. A main event featured the two goaltenders, the Canadians Matt Couvrette and Nicholas Hodgins of the Wolves. Hodgins had taken over goalcrease duties in relief of Matt Gagne in a 5-0 game at the start of the third period. Another good tilt involved the two No. 5s, Wolves defenceman Nolan Rook and Ottawaʼs Adam Baxter. Scorecards gave Rook the victory. The Wolves also lost the services of blueliner Erik Mask, in a scrap with the Canadians Zack Rheaume. Ottawa captain Patrick Marsh also received an early exit.

It was their best performance of the Metro-Valley Conference final. Unfortunately for the Renfrew Timberwolves, it wasnʼt quite enough to generate a victory. The Ottawa Canadians snapped a 2-2 deadlock late in the second period, and added two goals in the last six minutes of the third en route to a 5-2 triumph Friday night at the MaTe-Way Activity Centre. The result capped a fourgame sweep for the Canadians. Theyʼll meet the Rideau-St. Lawrence Conference champion, either the Casselman Vikings or Athens Aeros, for the 2013 Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League championship.

with an shorthanded empty-net marker. Casey Donor notched both Renfrew goals. However, the Wolves were unable to click on a 5-on-3 advantage when trailing by one goal in the third period. Although not the busiest man throughout the series, Ottawa netminder Matt Couvrette made enormous stops off Doner and Ryan Eady with the score 3-2. Eady also rang a drive off the goalpost. Wolves goaltender Matt Gagne faced 41 Ottawa shots while the Wolves tested Couvrette 29 times. Kurtis Leclaire and Doner were both banished after thirdperiod bouts with the Canadians Patrick Marsh and Mitch Robertson.

Although only days remain in the curling season the curling club is not finishing with a whimper but with a bang. And creating much of the noise and excitement was Gord Eady and his many helpers putting on this yearʼs Dagenais Community Bonspiel. Last yearʼs was a great success but Gord did not rest on his past laurels. Instead he made it bigger and better, adding the Legendsʼ division and eight more teams, provided more fun and prizes and lots of food. The Mixed Nuts, the club house band, had the place rocking Friday night into the wee hours and 32 teams, 128 curlers, enjoyed three days of curling and the great hospitality provided by the club. Taking home the ʻbigʼ money in the Legendsʼ division, sponsored by Yolkowskie Construction, were Sudburyʼs Dustin Montpellier, Nick Beaudry, Matt Mann and Gord Minty. Winning the Barkerʼs Collision Centre draw were Brian Hewitt, Hugh Sholea, Bob Briscoe and Karen Hoad; the Money Concepts draw and overall champs were Cari Blanchard, Kevin Collins, Mary-Lise Rowat and Nancy Connors; and the Renfrew Golf Club draw were Jeff Featherton and Justin, Gail and Erika Riopelle. Gord would like to thank the above mentioned sponsors, as well as Molsonʼs, Gentek and Phil Marcella, all the many volunteers and especially all of the community curlers who helped make this an incredible event. In other club news, the team of Rob Warren, Yvonne Sklepowicz and Rory McKay, Willie Lafrance and Bill Neff won the Thursday Afternoon fourth draw with Andy Sklepowicz, Larry Visneskie, Lee Sharpe and Joan Eaton finishing second.

Calabogie racers bring home the hardware

ROBB WIGHT

Wyatt Campbell-Brunke of Renfrew, on his way to a gold medal in the slalom championship race. The 2003 U12 racers put on a good show for the crowd. Alyssa Steggall (Stittsville) tore up the slalom course but was DSQed. However, she roared back in the GS with a ninth place finish. Jack Alexander finished third overall, with a gold medal in the GS and fifth in the slalom. Sean Swayze (Braeside) skied a great slalom race, and picked up fifth place in GS. Connor Allen (Manotick) finished 16th overall, with an amazing sixth-place performance in GS. Owen Barr (Carp) was 17th overall and sped to his first top 10, coming in 10th in GS. Tyler Lefebvre (Calabogie) and Zach Wroe (Burnstown) were 12th and 13th overall, and skied very well in slalom. In GS, Tyler was aiming for a spot on the podium after a speedy seventh place time on his first run, but crashed and recovered on his second run, sliding into 22nd. Zach was sitting in ninth after his first GS run,

but the icy, rutted course caused a crash on the second. Meanwhile, after a run at the regional championships March 2 and 3, the U14 racersʼ season culminated with the Ontario Provincials at Camp Fortune March 14-16. This event brings together the best 12 and 13 year old racers in the province. The event kicked off Thursday with a GS race. Skiing against some tough competition in a field of 92 athletes, Calabogieʼs girls gave it all they had. Lauren Campbell-Brunke (Renfrew) was the top finisher, splitting the list with a 50th place finish. Jenna Wissing (Kanata) was 69th, and Emma Schreider (Kingston) came in 79th, followed closely by Alex Kerr (Kemptville) and Jessica Earle (Greely) in 81st and 83rd. Calabogieʼs boys competed against 89 racers. Sammy Duff (Pembroke) sped into eighth while Alex Duff (Pembroke) rallied

R001199427

The U10 and U12 athletes travelled to Vorlage, Que. March 16 for the championship slalom race, followed by the championship GS race at Mont Ste. Marie March 17. At championships, the racers are divided into year-of-birth for the results. This meant that several of Calabogieʼs youngest athletes came home with the hardware. Wyatt Campbell-Brunke (Renfrew) was a triple gold medallist in the U10 2004 boys division, finishing first overall in both races. He brought home gold medals for slalom, GS, and overall champion. In the U10 2004 girls division, Louise Stonham of Arnprior finished eighth overall for the weekend, and podiumed in the GS with a fifth-place ribbon. Nicole Duff (Pembroke) and Carly Alexander (Carp) were neck-and-neck, finishing 10th and 11th overall. The U10 2003 boys had stellar results as well. Alex Wroe (Burnstown) finished seventh overall, and snagged a silver medal in the GS. Jeremy Van Grunsven (Odessa) was eighth, with a fifth-place ribbon in GS. Carson Lefebvre completed the top 10 trio with a 10th overall finish and a seventh-place in both slalom and GS. The U12s skied to the max! Sam Alexander (Carp) was another triple gold medallist, coming in first place in all of his races for 2002 boys. Ryan Geddie (Kanata) pulled off a season-best 16th overall. In the 2002 girls group, Annabel Wight (Kanata) and Tess Schreider (Kingston) put together two excellent races to finish 23rd and 27th overall.

for 29th with a strong second run. Competing in their first provincials, brothers Connor and Liam Maclean (Manotick) put together two good runs each to finish 63rd and 68th. Travis Reid (Kingston) crashed on his first run but laid down a solid second run. Fridayʼs race was a panel slalom. Sammy Duff podiumed in this race, edging into fifth place. Alex Duff recovered from crashes to finish 40th overall with Travis Reid hot on his heels in 41st. Connor Maclean raced to 67th and Liam Maclean to 70th. The top Calabogie girl on this day was Jenna Wissing in 58th. Alex Kerr, Emma Schreider, and Jessica Earle stuck together with a 65th, 66th, 67th finish. Lauren Campbell-Brunke had a 51st place time in her first run but couldnʼt capitalize on the second. Provincials concluded with a full-gate slalom race on Saturday. The race course was challenging, steep, and incredibly icy. Jenna, Alexandra, Jessica and Emma all laid down two solid runs. Lauren CampbellBrunke skied to the max but unfortunately DSQed on both runs. Sammy Duff moved into third place. Alex Duff put together two awesome runs to land in eighth place. Travis, Connor, and Liam were all DSQed, along with half of the field. The U14s then capped off their season with a fun dual slalom at Calabogie Peaks. Sammy Duff eliminated all competitors to become the overall U14 champion. Now it is time to hang up the skis for another year.

Standing are Horton Recreation Committee members Tim McDonald, Dave Bennett, Sandy Black, Lloyd Levesque, Kathleen Rogers, Arnold Dickson, Bob Johnston, Valerie Miller, and Vern Barr and Don Storie of the Castleford Charity Fishing Derby committee. Creeden and recreation committee chair Bob Kingsbury also thanked ice fishing derby organizers on behalf of their respective organizations. The cheques were presented by Castleford Charity Fishing Derby president Vern Barr and treasurer Don Storie. Storie noted that about a

third of the people who sign up for the derby donʼt even fish. They just want to support the good causes that the funds are going to. “They can still win prizes,” Storie said. This past yearʼs derby was the eighth annual, and was held Feb. 16 during free fam-

ily fishing weekend. The Castleford Charity Ice Fishing Derby was again a big success with 720 derby participants, and 80 fish tipping the scales. All future Castleford ice fishing derbies will also be held on the free family fishing weekend in February.

Toffee-on-snow a tasty treat

LOOK IN TODAY’S

Mary Cook’s Memories BY MARY COOK

Audrey would carry the lantern and Everett the roast pan and the big soup ladle, ready to bring in the freshly fallen snow. Mother had put a small pot of already boiled syrup on the front lid of the Findlay Oval, and it was fair jumping by the time the clean snow was brought into the house. Just perfect to pour out on the snow for a feed of sticky toffee! Although Mother always trusted Audrey or Everett to go well away from the barn yard, that night she took a big spoon and dragged it through the roaster of snow, just to be on the safe side. Well, what happened next was something like you would see in a picture show in Renfrew. There buried in the pan of snow was something that proved they hadnʼt gone far enough! Mother stared at the black lump, which wasnʼt big enough to fill a teaspoon, but big enough to send her into a fit! Father, used to Motherʼs obsession with cleanliness, never took his eyes off the Family Herald and Weekly Star that he was reading by the oven door. She demanded to know where the snow came from, and both Audrey and Everett vowed it came from the farthest reaches of the yard where no livestock ever went. Well, that didnʼt satisfy Mother. Even though she had no idea what the black lump was, she knew it had spoiled the entire roaster of snow! Audrey said she would get rid of it, and that the rest of the roaster was perfectly clean. Well, she might as well have

told Mother the lump was just a raisin. Mother was having no part of her story! “Dump it out, Audrey. Goodness knows what else is in the roaster. “Thereʼll be no toffee tonight.” Well, did that cause an uproar! Emerson accused Everett and Audrey of getting the snow from behind the cow byre where we dumped the manure, Everett took a handful of the snow out of the roaster and flung it at Emerson, who paid him back by throwing his gum rubber at him, hitting him square in the face, and Audrey was ready to stomp off upstairs. Mother ordered her back to the table and she was told to scrub the roaster with hot water and lye soap, even though the teeny bit of black came no where near touching the pan! The commotion in the kitchen was like something youʼd see in a movie. Father got off the rocking chair, folded the Family Herald and Weekly Star, tapped his pipe into the stove, and he could be heard muttering about the crazy family he was living with – “A man canʼt even read the paper in peace.” While he was heading for the bedroom off the kitchen, he added, “Hauling snow in the house, throwing it around like it was nothing. “Washing a perfectly clean pan, I tell you the whole house is going straight to hell in a basket,” which was a saying Father hauled out every time something came up that riled him. And that night he was as riled as I had seen him in a long time.

Focus on rich logging heritage Did several generations of your family work in the paper mills or the forest? You donʼt know what to do with all those boxes of old photographs? The team at Boréalis, Pulp and Paper Industry Exhibition Centre in Trois-Rivières, Québec, is looking for testimonies from former lumberjacks, log drivers and pulp and paper industry workers During the week of April 1, representatives of the centre will be in the area to conduct filmed interviews with families who have worked in the forest/paper industry for more than one generation. “These interviews will be part of a temporary exhibition entitled Generations, When Paper Is

A Family Affair,” says a news release from the organizers. All those interested in taking part in this initiative are invited to contact Simon Rodrigue by phone at 1-450-416-1259. The exhibition centre is located in the former filtration plant of the Canadian International Paper Company (CIP) in Trois-Rivières, Québec, “Boréalis shows the human face of the paper and forest industry: a unique encounter between man and machine. “The museum pays tribute to the thousands of lumberjacks, log drivers and workers, men and women who dedicated their lives to their job,” the release says.

Finding clean snow in the yard at the farm was almost impossible. This caused a great concern for Mother. We five children, this time of year, begged for toffee-onsnow, as the sap poured from the trees. And that meant hauling in a roaster of spotlessly clean snow. As well as the boiling-down in the big flat pan in the bush, Mother would boil big pots of sap in the kitchen filling the house with sweet heavy steam. Each night we children begged for toffee-on-snow, but often Mother would say it was a Saturday night treat, and we went to bed out of sorts that we have been deprived of one of our favourite treats this time of year. And each night that we were allowed this indulgence, Everett, or Audrey, being the two oldest in the family, would be sent out for a roast pan of snow. Mother kept sending them farther and farther afield for clean snow. Father said she would soon have us going across the river to Admaston, which of course, was an exaggeration. But Mother was fastidious about anything that came within a country mile of our mouths, and using a roast pan of snow where the livestock had trod was out of the question. So either Everett or Audrey was given the task of finding clean snow for the toffee. Emerson couldnʼt be trusted to go beyond the barn yard! That night it was dark as pitch outside. It had been a heavy snow for late March. Mother said we would be staying home ... no church party had been planned, and no one had offered their home for a game of cards, and so we had a rare Saturday night at home, and without a house full of neighbours. A perfect night for toffee-on-snow.

St. Joseph’s Catholic High School LOW IT’S gets high grade from Fraser Institute steve.newman@metroland.com

Several schools across the country say the Fraser Institute report cards don’t accurately reflect the scope of schools’ academic and community credentials. Brennan Trainor, principal at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School, shares some of those concerns, but he’s still pleased with the latest results that have the Renfrew high school tied for third place in the province of Ontario. The Vancouver-based think tank, which has done the high school analyses for five years, has St. Joe’s tied for third place with Colonel By Secondary School in Ottawa, with a score of 9.2 out of 10. That compares to St. Joe’s previous high overall score of 7.8 in 2010 and worst score of 5.5 in 2011. The risk of doing so well is that people will also make comparisons the next year, especially if the scores are lower, said Trainor of the report cards released this month. That’s always the risk for a lower-population school, too, he added, noting St. Joe’s had 121 students writing the literacy test, whose results were pivotal to the report card’s final mark. Several schools have many more students writing that test. However, Trainor says the high provincial ranking leaves St. Joe’s staff cautiously optimistic. “We’re certainly respectful that they’re putting our results out there and saying well done for doing our work. But there are many other factors that make a school effective that are

Province’s third-best score still only partial portrait of Renfrew school, says school principal Brennan Trainor not reported on. “The report card doesn’t report on the many factors that are important at the school. For example, we’re a very welcoming and inclusive school. And it doesn’t report at all on our (high) student involvement (in extracurricular).” St. Joe’s score was reached with the help of a 90 per cent pass rate in the literacy test. “We’re proud of that because we have a high percentage of special-needs students,” said Trainor. He also noted St. Joe’s had a 92.8 pass rate on the Grade 10 literacy test in 2008. Last year’s high pass rate was also well above the school’s 72.3 per cent in 2011. Excellent math scores

St. Joe’s also excelled in the Grade 9 math scores. Its 90 per cent for applied math was way above the provincial average of 44 per cent. And St. Joe’s score of 93 per cent in academic (or theoretical) math, compared to the provincial average of 84 per cent. Heading the provincial rankings are London Central Secondary School, first at 9.6, compared to its average score of 9.5 for the last five years. Toronto’s Cardinal Carter Academy for the Arts scored 9.5 for second, compared to its five-year average score of 9.0. Next highest ranked eastern Ontario schools, after thirdplace St. Joe’s, were St. Michael

in Kemptville and West Carleton in Dunrobin. They were among five schools tied for eighth with scores of 9.0. The ranking list covers 725 English and French, public and Catholic high schools across Ontario after evaluation of six academic factors. These include Grade 9 EQAO (Education Quality and Accountability Office) scores for applied and academic math, the percentage of unsuccessful Grade 10 literacy tests, the percentage of the Grade 9 EQAO math assessments that did not meet the provincial standard, the average difference between male and female students in the Grade 9 EQAO assessment in academic math; and the difference between male and female students attempting the literacy test for the first time. The reports also take into account the students’ socioeconomic makeup, like their parents’ average income, the percentage of students whose second language is English, and the number of special-needs students. Among the province’s 20 fastest-improving schools are Pembroke’s Ecole secondaire catholique Jeanne-Lajoie. In a March 17 news release about the fastest-improving schools in Ontario, according to Fraser Institute rankings, Cowley said, “If educators want to help students learn and improve, they should be talking to these schools.” Jeanne-Lajoie had an overall

rating of 8.5 from last year’s test period, compared to a previous best of 7.6 in 2009 and lowest score of 5.7 in 2008. Jeanne-Lajoie was Renfrew County’s second-ranked high school by placing 25th provincially. Arnprior District High School was third in Renfrew County, by finishing 331st in Ontario with a 6.5 rating, compared to a high of 7.7 in 2008. For the last five-year period ADHS actually ranks 182nd in the province.

THEME OF MOVIE MANIA

This year’s theme is Movie Mania, and we invite teams to dress up as their favourite movie characters and decorate their tents accordingly. This year’s

tent area is going to sparkle with a downtown Hollywood theme. Our community partners continue to increase each year as well. With increased training provided to a small committee at St. Joe’s this year, these high school students are able to register their own survivors plus five to 10 teams. Their support for this important and worth-while

Barred owls not known as Earn Extra Money! Keep Your Weekends Free! predators of other birds Hello Jim and Ila: A couple of weeks ago, after putting out suet balls in our feeder, a flock of starlings came to have a feast. As my daughter and I were watching, suddenly, in a flurry of feathers, this fellow appeared. He sat for a few moments just long enough for my son, Levi Huyer, to snap a picture. I don’t think he managed to take any birds, but it was fun to see him up close. Angela Struyk-Huyer Thank you for the note, Angela. The bird is a barred owl, very likely a first-year male. He was probably very hungry and came to your feeder searching for mice that would be feeding on seeds. Barred owls are not known to be predators of other birds.

JIM FERGUSON Scene from the Hawk’s Eye Thank you for your information, Karen. The next two months provide the best birding of the year. It is time to dust off your binoculars and field guide and be ready to enjoy the antics of the many returning species. Good luck! A VERY RARE SPECIES

BLUE JAY BEHAVIOUR

Hello Jim and Ila, For the last few weeks my wife and I kept seeing a bird with bluish black upperparts with a vibrant orange head and chest markings. We were not able to figure out what he was; we went through our bird books and couldn’t identify him. It was only yesterday we broadened our search and were able to identify the bird as a male varied thrush. He is such a beautiful bird and we are happy to be feeding him. Ike and Sara Schulthies, Garden of Eden Road, Horton Township. Thank you for this report. To our knowledge there has been only one other varied thrush seen in the area and that was near Hurdʼs Lake the week of Sept. 17, 1989. Anyone that lives in the area of the Garden Road should be on the lookout for this bird. The thrush is the same size as a robin, has a bright orange breast, throat and eyebrow and a black chest band.

Hi, Jim & Ila: I’ve seen some interesting mating behaviour between blue jays lately. While most of their kind were busy at the feeder yesterday, one pair sat close together on a twig, grooming each other, and rubbing their heads together. While one seemed to be listening intently the other bird chirped away in what seemed to be a lengthy plea. This morning I observed a jay offering a sunflower seed to another, passing it from beak to beak. I was sure they’d drop it, yet the second jay accepted it and went to break it open on a branch. Of course, I can’t tell if this was the same pair I saw earlier. As you know, flocks of redpolls and pine grosbeaks arrived at Poison Ivy Acres on Christmas Day. They are still with me and their plumage is becoming even more colourful as spring approaches. The red-winged blackbirds flew in on Monday, March 18, at seven o’clock Carol McCuaig. Thank you for your email Carol. Pair bonding: head rubbing, exchanging food and low chatter are the signs of things to come. The birds will build a nest and raise young this spring. We have fed and listened to blue jays all winter it is time to see some of their more interesting behaviour.

Martina Harrington on James Crescent has had a pileated woodpecker visiting her suet feeder. The bird remains for about five minutes and then moves on. The bird and other woodpeckers will be checking out possible roost and nest sites for the coming breeding season.

PINE GROSBEAKS

BEWARE

Hi Jim and Ila: This is Karen and Dan Kelly over in Ladysmith. We have seen pine grosbeaks (male and female) much of the winter and this week we saw our first red winged blackbird. Our neighbour, who is a real avid birder, saw quite a few redwings at the beginning of the week. He keeps us informed of any new arrivals. Take care. Karen and Dan Kelly

Birds, robins in particular, will build nests in the worst places, one being on top of outside flood lights. If you should see this happening, take the nest down. The heat from the lights can set the grass in the nest on fire.

PILEATED WOODPECKERS

Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, RR5, Renfrew, Ont., K7V 3Z8. Call hone 613-432-2738 or jamesh@nrtco.net

Beavers and Us April 22 in Perth

Earth Hour savings The Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) reported lower demand for electricity in Ontario of 2.7 per cent or 448 megawatts (MW) as a result of Earth Hour March 23. This drop is more than the average peak energy needs of a city the size of Burlington.

The beaver is a brilliant hydro-engineer and a colossal pain in the keyster. What does it take to live side-by-side with beavers? For answers, go to Beavers and Us, an all-day workshop on Monday, April 22 in Perth. The Stewardship Councils of Lanark, Renfrew, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington and Hastings counties will co-host a productive day of fascinating

revelations about Canadaʼs largest rodent. Michael Runtz (of wolf howls and other shenanigans) will present the natural history of beavers. Beavers and Us runs 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Civitan Hal.

HERITAGE

1978: Lemkay named national antique car club president THE HOTEL: It will be a satisfaction to the people to know that negotiations are in progress this weekend, within reasonable distance of satisfactory conclusion, which will permit the construction of the new hotel to be started as soon as the snow is off the ground. If the start is made now, it will be only through another manifestation of the public spirit of Mr. M.J. OĘźBrien. Meantime, have you done your part by sending in your application for so many shares of stock? LITERARY SOCIETY DANCE: The Renfrew Collegiate Literary Society entertained on Thursday evening at an enjoyable informal dance in the gymnasium. ValentineĘźs three-piece orchestra supplied the music. The patronesses were Mrs. J.K. Allen, Mrs. W.A.Cameron, Mrs. Duncan Graham, Mr. J.J. McFadden, Mrs. A. Gravelle, Mrs. A.C. Mackay, and Mrs. M. McKinnon. Out-oftown visitors were Messrs. L. Reid, Moir and Rawley of Arnprior, T.D. Campbell of Fitzroy Harbour, Miss Edna Box Calabogie. MARCH 31, 1938

CALF NOTABLE FOR ITS SMALLNESS: A calf weighing only 24 lbs. was born a few days ago on the farm of Mr. Thomas Barr of Horton Township, whose premises are located not far from the community

OLGA LEWIS From the Old Files hall. Dam is a 10-year-old Holstein, sire a young Durham. To the same cow a calf normal in size was born eight months before; therefore this is regarded as a premature birth, accounting to some extent for the smallness of the 1938 calf. The midget is a lively, frisky creature, attracting attention only because so diminutive. TASMANIA MERCURY SEEN IN RENFREW: Mr. and Mrs. E.A. Sully and daughter Jean were enroute for their home in the Orient, after visiting for some time at Mrs. SullyĘźs parental home on Bruce Street, Renfrew, made Tasmania one of their places of call, and from there a copy of the Tasmania Mercury was sent to a Hincks street home. Mr. Ferrier states that his daughter comments upon the fact, in a note from the Far East, that it is not only Renfrew which has a Mercury. The travellers took a roundabout course from Vancouver, and when reaching Bombay, their destination felt they had travelled almost the length and breadth of the planet Mercury. MARCH 28, 1978

AREA MAN NATIONAL PRESIDENT: Area resident Dave Lemkay was recently re-elected president of the National Association of Antique Automobile Clubs of Canada. The national association is a council of most of the antique car clubs in the country, representing over 4,000 members. An Ontario Invitational Tour, organized in eastern Ontario by area clubs, will be passing through Renfrew this July. The tour is expected to have many vintage cars from coast to coast, as well as numerous local hobbyists participating. The association publishes a widely circulated bimonthly magazine, Vintage Canada. RENFREW SKATERS WIN AT VALLEY COMPETITION: The third interclub competition for the Upper Ottawa Valley was held in late February at CFB Petawawa. In free skate competition there were 23 entries and in dance there were six couples from the Renfrew Club participating. Juvenile Girls A under-10 ďŹ rst place was awarded to Kerri McArthur and second place to Susie Handford. Juvenile B ďŹ rst place was awarded to Kelly McArthur, second Jenny Martin and third Carol Ann Sharpe. Pre-juvenile girls 4A Laurie Deshane won a third and pre-juvenile girls C Carol Andreson took a ďŹ rst. In the junior bronze dance 11B Tracey LĘźAbbe and Jennifer Fraser took third. Others from the Renfrew Club competing were Kelly Ziebarth, Margaret Butler, Leslie Wirth, Ann Hand-

ford, Cathy Logan, Susan Wilson, Tina Pligakis, Lenore Holly, Sheri Ann Eady, Lyn Arbuthnot, Terrilee Ferguson, Melissa Kasaboski, Kerry
