individual purchases,” said O’Reilly.

“We’re approving the budget in essence.”

The end figures may differ someREGION what depending on how the tenders come back.

The finance committee recommends any savings identified in the capital budget be re-allocated to roads resurfacing..CA “This gives staff an opportunity to go out and do good shopping,” said Mayor Eady.

Among this year’s major capital projects are: • $357,524 for roads resurfacing, including Ma-Te-Way Park Drive from Lisgar Avenue to the Millennium Trail. Other streets will be identified for resurfacing as funds permit.

• $2,403,823.53 for Highway 132 rehabilitation – Council awarded the tender to B.R. Fulton Construction Ltd. in February. The project will be financed by provincial funding from the Small, Rural and Northern Municipal Infrastructure Fund ($1,998,889.33) and federal gas tax funds (404,934.20).

2015 capital budget and there are REGION some major infrastructure improvements on the way.

Mayor Don Eady is pleased with how the capital budget shaped up.

“I think it’s a budget that is good .COM for our community right now,” said Eady. “We’re going to be able to get some infrastructure done this year. I think we’re starting to get rolling.”

The total capital budget is $5,039,030. Of that, just $681,930 will come from taxation.

Federal and provincial funding, reserves and other sources make up the rest, explained treasurer Keray O’Reilly.

‘We’re really leveraging our money with provincial and federal money,” he said.

Approving the capital budget before the rest of budget deliberations occur will allow department heads to get an early start on putting out tenders and getting quotes for projects.

“The key tonight is approving the total dollar value of the budget, not

Developer seeks area specific development charges for vet clinic sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Renfrew Animal Hospital officials will have to foot the bill for sewer services at the proposed new location on O’Brien Road and nearby future developers will be expected to share the cost.

Veterinarian and owner Dr. Don Clarke has proposed a new 2,200-squarefoot building on O’Brien Road across from the vacant lot beside Tim Hortons.

There is no municipal sanitary sewer service on either side of the road.

For the proposed development to proceed, Clarke is required to extend sewer services from his parcel to the intersection of Froats Street and O’Brien Road.

The cost of engineering design and detail, as well as construction, is the responsibility of the owner.

March 24, Renfrew council authorized staff to retain Watson and Associates to prepare an area specific development charges bylaw that will affect future adjacent property owners who will benefit from the sewer service.

“Once the service is installed, other properties could benefit by having a local connection,” said the report.

“As such, the owner is seeking to ensure a cost recovery mechanism is in place for any future development that will connect to the service installed at the owner’s cost.”

Council approved up to $10,000 for development of the bylaw.

Development and works director Mike Asselin ex-

plained the process is fairly common and is laid out in the development charges act.

A background study, public meeting, notice of passing, passing and appeal period are all part of the process. equal share “Money would flow back to parties that put the money in,” said Asselin.

“In the end the four properties would be paying an equal share.”

Clarke is pleased with council’s approval. He took over the practice when Dr. Al Witham retired in 2013 and said it’s time to improve and modernize the practice.

“Renfrew’s been really good to us and we’re really pleased with how the transition has gone from Dr. Witham,” said Clarke.

Business is steady but there’s always room for more.

“We’re in a little converted house on Argyle Street and we’d like to update and modernize,” he said.

The practice has been in existence for more than 30 years and is a mixed animal hospital that treats dogs, cats and other pets, as well as horses, cows and other large animals.

The new building will include four examination rooms and other supporting areas.

“Over time we’re hoping to grow,” said Clarke.

He expects to submit a site plan to the town in the next few weeks to a month and is hoping construction will take place late this summer.

The O’Brien Road location is ideal because it was already zoned commer-

cial and has good visibility, said Clarke.

Town officials have identified four properties that will potentially benefit from the installation of sewer services.

“We have to bring sewer across the road and in case anyone else taps into that, they will have to pay their share,” said Clarke.

Mayor Don Eady expressed his thanks to all involved.

“Thanks to the developer, thank you to our staff,” said Eady. “This is a different way of getting business done in Renfrew and just proves we can cut through the red tape and get things done.”

This Renfrew council figure shows the location of the proposed veterinary clinic on O’Brien Road and the lands that could benefit from the developer installing sewer services at the location.

At least one Renfrew taxpayer is less than pleased with what he considers the town’s excessive snowplow activity.

Harry Street resident Frank Belanger believes there’s an exces-

sive use of the town’s snow removal equipment.

“It’s been going on all winter long, when there’s nothing to do they’re still plowing,” said Belanger.

It’s a waste of gas, manpower and will wear out the machinery more quickly.

“It’s just a waste of time,” he said.

Sometimes the vehicles are plowing, sometimes sanding or salting and other times just driving down the street.

Belanger said sometimes plows go up and down his street three or four times in a day and the sidewalk snow plow has been down even though the walks are practically bare.

“We don’t need these kinds of abuses on our taxes,” said Belanger.

“We put these people in there to save us money not to keep increasing our costs.”

Belanger, who is retired, said many residents who work away from home may not realize how often the plows are out on the roads.

“It’s all overkill. We’re not all that feeble that we can’t step over a little bump of snow,” said Belanger.

Belanger said he’d rather see town workers at the shop painting or greasing the machines instead of driving around burning gas and causing wear on the machines. on budget

Renfrew development and works director Mike Asselin said there’s really been nothing out of the ordinary occurring on Harry Street.

“In the last two weeks we’ve removed a bit of snow from the corners for drainage but there’s really nothing going on,” he said.

In terms of the budget relating to snow removal, the town has used up $193,000 of $206,000 and the snow plowing budget is on track too, said Asselin.

“We’re pretty much on budget,” he said. “We did hold off on removing some of the snow on back streets, which helped us to stay on budget. We’re trying to do the best we can.”

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Following are briefs from the March 24 meeting of Renfrew council.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation hosts the annual Big Bike event May 8 at Renfrew town hall. The event begins at 1 p.m. and ends at 6:30 p.m.

The route will begin from town hall, turn onto Raglan Street, turn right on Munro Street, turn right on Harry Street, then right on Hall Avenue, right on Plaunt Street, left on Prince Street, right on Raglan and return to town hall. The local event is hosted by the Lanark, Leeds Grenville and Renfrew counties offices of the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

“Heart and stroke is something near and dear to my heart,” said Coun. Tom Sidney. “I’d like to look into being a part of Big Bike and see if there are other councillors interested in being part of it.”

Raise the Flag on autism

The town will participate in World Autism Day on April 2 by flying the Autism Ontario flag at town hall. The campaign raises public awareness about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and the day to day issues faced by people with autism and their families. It’s the third year Autism Ontario has organized the Raise the Flag campaign. ASD affects more than 100,000 Ontarians and is now recognized as the most common neurological disorder, affecting one in every 94 children.

Water-wastewater task force formed

Renfrew council has named its water-wastewater rate review task force members.

Mayor Don Eady joins committee chair Tom Sidney, Coun. Arlene Jamieson and public members Gerald Lepage, Merv Beckstead and Jeff Taylor.

The ad hoc committee will conduct a comprehensive review of

the town’s municipal water and wastewater programs with an eye to finding “efficiencies or modifications which may impact positively upon the current rate structure.”

Frozen water services

Council continues to deal with frozen water services, said development and works director Mike Asselin.

“We’re still receiving calls related to frozen water services,” reported Asselin. “Although temperatures seem to be warming up a bit, if there are residents in town who are going away for a few days and are not going to use water in their premises they should call development and works.”

The town has dealt with up to 25 frozen water services this year, something that hasn’t occurred in the last 20 years. The cost to thaw a frozen water line is $2-3,000 each time.

LEAD TESTING Once again, the Town of Renfrew will be conducting drinking water sampling and testing for lead to comply with Ontario Regulations. The town is seeking volunteer test sites in single family homes, multi-unit buildings, commercial properties, and industrial properties.

Under the provincial legislation, the municipality must test the drinking water for lead at 40 private residences, 4 non-private residences, between March 16, 2015 and April 15, 2015.

• Tests would be performed at older residences suspected of having lead pipes or pipes with lead solder.

• Homes built before the mid-1950s could have lead pipes.

• Lead solder was used to join copper pipes and was phased out in the late 1980s; any new construction done after those years should not be affected by lead in the piping system.

Since the Town must access homes to test for the presence of lead, we are looking for volunteers to allow the Town of Renfrew staff access to their homes to collect samples. There will be NO charge to the resident for the testing of the lead sample.

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

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

The Town will require permission of the property owner to take the samples.

If you wish to be added to the list of potential test sites please contact the Development and Works Department, Michel Asselin at 613-432-8166.

Gallant welcomes leadership candidate to riding MP asks for hydro investigation Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant was pleased to host fellow federal Conservative MP Patrick Brown in RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke.

Brown is the frontrunner in the race to lead the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario to victory and become the next premier of Ontario. “Patrick Brown recognizes, as I do, if we do not get real, substantive change at Queen’s Park, things will only get worse for our youth, and particularly our seniors, or anyone else on a fixed income who cannot afford to pay for necessities like hydro,” said Gallant. “It would be a total disaster for Canada if the crazy Toronto liberal policies were shoved onto the rest of the country.

“The naïve leader of the federal Liberal counts as his main advisor the person who wrote the ‘Greed Energy Act’ that is responsible for the huge Hydro rate increases. Ontario is spending billions on industrial wind turbines nobody wants to generate power we cannot use.

That includes paying American States over a billion dollars to take unusable electricity rather than giving ratepayers a break on their power bills.

“Also, the ongoing investigation by the Ombudsman of Ontario into the billing practices of Hydro One has received over 10,000 direct complaints from ratepayers, while acknowledging upwards of over 84,000 Hydro One ratepayers experiencing billing problems,” she said.

Gallant also raised the submission

by Hydro One’s vice-president Susan Frank to the Ontario Energy Board stating that in the case of the provincial utility, billing problems are a result of “smart meter technology … equipment failure.”

This has led to estimated billing practices that have caused severe financial hardship for thousands of Ontario residents,” said Gallant.

Electricity bills should be based on actual usage, not dreamt up in Toronto. “Until this problem is fixed, I am requesting that Hydro One be ordered by Measurement Canada to cease the practice of estimated billing and return to the practice of manual meter reading, with all costs the responsibility of Hydro One.”

Gallant meets with seniors upset over mail delivery changes Changes include community boxes, reduced hours Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant recently hosted a meeting with leaders in the Arnprior seniors’ community in an attempt to quell fears over mail delivery changes.

The topic for the discussion was the upcoming changes to service Canada Post will be implementing. Many seniors groups are worried that moving away from home delivery to community boxes far from some homes will mean dangerous treks through the snow and ice.

Joining Gallant for the round table discussion were Debbie Hudson of the Arnprior Neighbourlink Fountain, Nellie Kingsbury of the Golden Age Activity Centre in Renfrew, Helen Hall of the Arnprior Lionettes and Wayne Lavallee of the Arnprior Optimists Club.

For many years, Canada Post was never expected be a profitable business; it provided a service to Canadians, particularly the most vulnerable who have paid taxes all their working lives.

Federal opposition parties have said this is a wealthy enough nation that shouldn’t expect the elderly to retrieve their important correspondences.

More recently, Canada Post, which announced that it made a $198-million profit in 2014 (compared to a $29-million loss the year before), was made distant from the authority of elected representatives who speak on behalf of citizens.

Gallant, MP for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, sees it differently. “While Canada Post was changed into a crown corporation to separate politics from the day-to-day decisions, as the local federal Member of Parliament, I want my constituents to be informed about the planned end of door-to-door delivery, and where possible submit recommendations in advance,� Gallant said. “Taxpayers understand that as a crown cor-

poration, Canada Post is prohibited from running a deficit,� she said. “Times have changed considerably from the days of our great grandparents when mail was delivered on horseback. Thanks to the Internet, particularly in recent years, mail volumes have been dropping considerably. As a result of reduced mail volumes, Canada Post had to take immediate action.�

Changes include reduced hours at some post office locations, leading to fewer wellpaid jobs in rural areas that desperately need secure incomes for people to raise their family.

It also includes replacing door-to-door mail delivery for the one-third of Canadians, who receive it, with community mail boxes.

However, there is mounting evidence that community boxes are vandalized and the contents stolen more often than at-home boxes.

Gallant heard some of the complaints during the Arnprior meeting. “What I found is that the main concerns about the conversion from door-to-door mail delivery for the one-third of Canadians who receive it, to community mail boxes are accessibility for seniors and those with disabilities, cleanliness of the boxes, both in terms of waste and snow, and the planned locations of the mailboxes,� Gallant said.

Some critics maintain that, while only onethird of Canadians receive home delivery, that number should be increased to at least twothirds: not wiped out completely.

Gallant hopes the community mail boxes are put in the most accessible locations. “When it comes to placing mail receptacles, Canada Post has confirmed to me its commitment to work with municipalities on their placement. “I, in turn, am committed to working with constituents to see these changes implemented in a thoughtful and conscientious manner,� she said.

Take up the fight against fraud

The Ontario Provincial Police doesn’t want you to be a victim.

Each year, thousands of people across the country lose millions of dollars through scams and fraudulent schemes.

The way to combat this is through public awareness.

Let’s talk about fraud, open up a dialogue and report on the harmful aspects of this type of victimization.

According to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Prevention Centre, 66 per cent of Canadian-based mass marketing fraud that took place in 2014 was Internet and email based.

Twenty per cent was conducted over the phone and the majority of victims are ages 50 to 70.

Fraud is a terrible thing. It preys on honest citizens who are perhaps investing funds to save for retirement, or making a donation to a charity they trust. When the relationships break down and the money is gone, many victims feel shame and embarrassment. However, they can play an important role in investigating fraud, but the

CAFC says just five per cent report the crimes, that could prevent other family members, friends or neighbours from the same fate.

Lottery and prize fraud schemes are also on the rise, and the CAFC said that in 2014 more than 4,000 Canadians reported prize or lottery fraud and 652 of those lost a total of more than $4.3 million.

We should all keep in mind the old adage, “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”

Keep in mind that most banking institutions and legal firms don’t send out blanket form emails to people asking for their personal information, so don’t give that information to anyone unless you have verified they are a company you deal with and know. Doing a bit of homework and taking a few extra steps could make all the difference in not becoming a victim of fraud.

There’s no shame in doing a good deed or saving for your future. We all just need to be a little more careful where we put our hard-earned money.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thanks for community’s support after house fire To the editor:

Wow! What a community we live in! We have so many people to thank and barely know where to start.

To all who played such an integral part in helping us get through a very difficult time after the fire on Dec. 20, 2014; thanks just does not seem to be enough. We must start with our fire department.

We honestly have a whole new respect for the team and the need for the department. People who watched the action told us about the efficiency in a few short moments.

The business people in town, our family and friends, neighbours, landlords, church family and total strangers all helped us back to some semblance of normalcy through donations of lodging, food, clothing, hundreds of phone calls, cards,

Our experience has been humbling and overwhelming at the same time.

The kindness, care and concern that everyone has shown us is absolutely awesome.

The “funraiser” at the Legion on Feb. 20 was a huge boost to us, knowing that everyone who helped organize it, provided music and food for it, donated silent and live auction items, worked at it and attended, really helped us turn a corner of rebound.

The secret police bill threatens human rights

To the editor:

It is telling that Prime Minister Stephen Harper chose to announce Bill C51, the “Anti-Terrorism” Act, to an audience of Conservative loyalists instead of to the people’s House of Commons.

By jumping the gun to shut down questions while immediately rallying the partisan troops, Harper has signalled that his legislation cannot be rationally defended. Evidently the bill will harm non-violent Canadians far more than actual terrorists.

Bill C-51 provides the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) policing powers to disrupt crime. But a secretive intelligence agency cannot be as publicly accountable for intrusions upon citizens as traditional police forces.

Particularly sinister in the disruption powers is that CSIS may “contravene a right or freedom guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms” and break other laws with warrants from judges, in order to disrupt “threats to the security of Canada”, be they economic or infrastructural.

Discomforting caveats are that CSIS will neither kill citizens nor “violate the sexual integrity of an individual”.

8 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, April 2, 2015

Since the secretive decisions of the judges cannot be disputed by the victims of potential CSIS law-breaking, the warrants will be biased in favour of CSIS trickery over the liberties of the affected public. Judges will be turned from upholders of constitutional rights into enablers of their violation. Ironically, CSIS was founded in 1984 precisely to put an end to the law-breaking intelligence operations of the RCMP. Lawyer and MP Elizabeth May asked the Prime Minister in Question Period if citizens engaging in illegal but non-violent civil disobedience could be deemed “security threats” and busted by CSIS trickery, with Harper neither admitting nor denying such a possibility. Law professors Kent Roach, Craig Forcese, 100 other law academics, and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association have echoed these concerns.

The Privacy Commissioner has also criticized lacking safeguards where 17 government departments are allowed to share all information on the above category of citizens, including “to any person, for any purpose”.

Bill C-51 would furthermore infringe on speech freedoms by criminalizing whoever “promotes or advocates the

commission of terrorism offences in general”. Planning and threatening terrorism in Canada are already criminal offences.

This vague provision could chill the mainstream political speech that underlies extremist beliefs but which might not imminently threaten Canadians’ security. Criminalizing bad ideas drives them underground and out of sight of public scrutiny.

Finally, the bill allows police to engage in suspicion-based preventive detention of anyone who “may” (not “will”) commit terrorism.

The Conservatives are allowing only eight committee meetings on Bill C-51, whereas the Liberals after 9/11 allowed 19 committee meetings on a less sweeping anti-terror bill.

This secret police bill violates basic democratic principles, forgetting that parliamentary scrutiny and rule of law are the ultimate checks on dictatorial power.

Once Canadians see this package for what it is – a Trojan Horse attempt to gut the Charter of Rights and Freedoms – there will be hell to pay.

It’s 2015. One would think that with “Human Rights” being such as they are and becoming an increasing issue for smokers in public apartment buildings in Renfrew County, that it would be just as much of an issue for nonsmokers. I guess we aren’t as “human” as they are and it’s okay for us to be subjected to second hand smoke, which I might point out, has been proven to be extremely harmful to one’s health.

So I ask, “why is smoking still allowed when it can kill”? Take a look at the facts - http:// www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_ sheets/secondhand_smoke/health_effects/.

There are just too many to mention in this letter. It would take up most of a page in the newspaper.

Think of your children, your grandchildren, your friends and family and the risk you impose on them each and every time you light up when they’re around.

Smoking is your choice, so by all means, indulge all as you please but do not force your choice on others. At least consider doing it away from everyone else.

Are you really okay with subjecting the people around you to these harmful side effects?

Then there is the safety issue which, as far

as I am concerned, is just as serious as it being a health hazard! I am a victim of the fire that happened January 7 at 41 Vimy Boulevard.

That blaze has since been ruled as careless smoking.

Presently I am living with family due to the fact that the whole building has been evacuated because of this fire. There was extensive damage which has caused 40 some tenants to be out of our homes.

We’ve been displaced. Imagine living from your suitcase and not knowing when you would get to return to your home.

It’s not just an opinion, smoking is in fact a HEALTHAND SAFETY hazard.What I don’t understand is how are tenants of Renfrew County housing permitted to smoke in provincially owned and municipally run housing? Smoking is not permitted in any other municipal, provincial or federal building for that matter.

How is housing any different? It should and needs to be banned in public apartment/condo complexes.

It’s as simple as that.

I sincerely hope that this can happen before it’s time to move back into the building.

Tenant with concerns,

To the editor:

It appears that truck traffic is more important to Horton Council than the safety of local residents on Johnston Road.

I made a written request in 2014 and again in 2015. I was given the impression that they were preparing to do something, I thought a written request might help.

I received a negative written reply back from public works last week.

So if you are walking on Johnston Road, be very careful. These large trucks catch up all too fast.

Survey deadline extended The deadline has been extended for the Renfrew County Healthy Communities Partnership survey.

The Healthy Communities Partnership invites you to participate in a survey on volunteering and helping. If you are 16 and over and would like to help the partnership serve county citizens better, visit http://uottawa. fluidsurveys.com/s/helpinginRenfrew.

Participants will be eligible to enter a draw for one of three $50 gift certificates for Chapters or one of 15 $10 gift certificates from Tim Hortons.

“By taking 10 minutes to complete the survey, you will help organizations in Renfrew County learn how people in Renfrew County feel about their communities; it will also show them how they can best attract, support, and recognize volunteers,” say officials. “For the purposes of this survey, volunteering is defined as any unpaid activity done for any non-profit or community organization.

“Not everyone can or should volunteer.

It is very important that we hear from you whether you volunteer or not. Your thoughts and opinions matter!”

2014 payscale

Greater Madawaska announced its wage payout and expenses for council in 2014. Total pay plus expenses amounted to $71,982.90.

Councillor and Mayor Glenda McKay re-

council donations

Each year, council sets a budget for donations. In 2013, the township exceeded its budget of $3,000 by $208, but was able to stay under last year. Council donated $2,437 of its budget of $3,200. The projected donation total for 2015 pretty well matches its budget. They forecast $3,492 in donations. The budget is $3,500.

Coun. Nicole Guthrie would like to see an overview done on the list of groups who receive funds, and how they apply for council support.

She said other municipalities have clear guidelines on what they will or will not support.

Mayor Glenda McKay pointed out that a number of groups have brought their presentations to council. Also brought up was donations to the home supports of Renfrew and Calabogie. It was noted by council March 24 that the two are not related. Council decided donations between the two organizations will be split.

Greater Madawaska Council is weighing in on the province’s change in legislation which results in stricter laws on where smoking is allowed, and a smoking bylaw for any township property and/or facility.

“We can have designated smoking areas,” CAO Allison Holtzhauer said.

“The concern is that if we were to do that, we have to create fenced-in areas,” she said, adn estimated each fenced-in area will cost about $1,000.

These areas would have to be maintained and cleaned up on a weekly basis, plus signs erected where people can smoke, and where they can’t, she added.

Before working on the bylaw, Holtzhauer asked council for direction for designated smoking areas, or a smoke-free initiative across the township, at their facilities. The thought of paying $1,000 per facility plus the constant upkeep just doesn’t seem feasible, council said.

Coun. Brian Hunt doesn’t smoke, but said people who have smoked for 30 years aren’t suddenly going to stop at a function. “We should be able to build a little cage. I don’t see why it has to be fancy, for a lot less than $1,000.”

Putting up a snowfence was suggested, although it wouldn’t do anything to beautify a place such as Barnet Park, it was noted.

Council will hold this issue over to its April 14 meeting. Meanwhile, Holtzhauer will contact some of the neighbouring townships to see what creative ideas they might have to address this new smoking legislation.

A musical tribute to Mac Beattie at Micksburg hall Coming off a very successful show in Bristol, Que. last fall, the tribute to Mac Beattie production now moves on to the Micksburg Community Hall on Sunday, April 19 at 2 p.m.

The name Mac Beattie and his band the Melodiers, was a household name up and down the Ottawa Valley from the 1940s to the 80s as they entertained in dance halls, hotels, senior homes, and radio and TV shows.

The Micksburg show, produced by Valley entertainer Guy Jamieson, is a two-hour production, where the audience is treated to the life history of Mac Beattie and the Melodiers, with songs from his repertoire he wrote about the Valley and beyond. With talented fiddler Dennis Harrington on board, patrons will get to hear some of the many tunes written by Reggie Hill, backed by Shirley Watson on keyboard, Kent Smith on bass guitar, as well as Guy Jamieson on rhythm

and vocals..

Mary Etmanski will add to the entertainment, singing some of the songs she sang with the Melodiers as a 15 year-old.

Mac was a great promoter of old time fiddling and stepdancing and persuaded many young people to carry on with our heritage. To show the audience the results of Mac’s influence on young people, stepdancers are part of the package with Andrew and Beatrice Herwig, and fiddlers, Riley Harrington, Beatrice Herwig and mom Jenny Herwig on board.

Let’s break out from cabin fever.

Circle April 19 on your calendar, and enjoy a lively afternoon of entertainment at the Micksburg Hall. Admission is $10 with the proceeds going to support the community hall.

New insurance business big on small town service Sherry Haaima

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Steven Postma is all about small-town values.

Postma has just opened Renfrew’s first AllRisks Insurance brokerage and he’s eager to get to work with local clients.

Having logged almost 10 years in the business with his father Robin at Ottawa Valley Insurance (OVI), Postma said he has the experience needed to help clients get the best coverage at the most competitive prices.

His dad sold the business in September of last year and has since retired.

Upon his departure from OVI, the younger Postma spent some time working at Sunlife Financial but ultimately decided venturing out on his own was best.

Having recently completed some additional training, Postma is confident he’s ready to handle whatever comes up.

“Now I can really help my clients with all their needs,” he said. “When it comes down to it that’s really what it is – helping people.

Insurance is a big expense - if I can help you save money and still have a good coverage – I’m looking after my client.”

His decision to establish his own insurance business stemmed partly from what he was hearing from former clients.

“I basically just did it because my former clients needed someone to help them,” he said. smaller firm

All-Risks Insurance, with its head office in Windsor, Ont., is a smaller firm with about 50 brokerages in the province.

“When I called them, it was a just a perfect

fit,” said Postma.

His office is located in the former OVI location on Quarry Street, which is also where he lives. With OVI having been located there for 18 years and the space being used as a veterinary office before that, it seemed an ideal fit for the small office he requires.

“It has a history of being a business in town for a long, long time,” said Postma. great response And although he’s only been open for a couple of weeks, the response has been amazing.

“My phone is blowing up,” said Postma. “It’s been that busy already.”

Part of the appeal is the personal touch you’ll get, he said.

“You can actually sit in front of me and have a real conversation,” he said.

Whether it’s a client who called him at 2:30 a.m. with a backed-up sink that had caused a major flood in her house to another who had been pulled over and needed assistance whilst Postma was sitting on a sunny dock on a Sunday afternoon, he’s prepared to go the extra mile to serve customers.

“You don’t get that in the city,” he said.

All-Risks Insurance provides all kinds of coverage, including home, auto, commercial and any type of life insurance, along with critical care and long-term insurance and financial services.

Postma said he has plenty of choice when accessing the best coverage for his clients.

“I’ve got access to pretty much every single company in Canada,” he said. “I’m a good bet if a client wants a one-stop shop. Bring me your biggest challenge – those are the fun ones.”

For now, it’s a one-man show but Postma hopes eventually to grow the business enough to warrant some office help and

Origines Day Spa hosts special fundraiser for hospice Treat yourself at new Bruce Street business and support Hospice Renfrew Sherry Haaima

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

One of Renfrew’s newest businesses is wasting no time showing its support for the community.

Origines Day Spa is hosting a fundraiser for

Hospice Renfrew on April 18. Half of all proceeds from the day will go towards the organization.

In addition, they’re offering a treat to hospice staff.

“All staff that work there, from nurses to personal service workers, can get a free ser-

vice during the month of April,” said Sasha Miller.

The idea came about because spa owner Kate Mathieson had a family member at Hospice Renfrew.

“We wanted to give back,” said Miller. “This is a great way to give back and get pampered

at the same time. Book now as spaces will fill up quickly.”

Origines’ services include manicures, pedicures, massages, facials, waxing and more.

Check out the Origines Day Spa Facebook page or call 613-431-7814. Origines is located at 776 Bruce St., just outside of Renfrew.

We love to sing Norm Dagg

Really Cool Initiatives is best known for a long history of producing musical tributes to Broadway and more recently for having brought Norm Foster musical plays to Renfrew audiences. Clearly, as a group they love to sing and for the second year are assembling a choir from amongst their cast and alumnae to participate in the 2015 Renfrew Rotary Music Festival.

On Wednesday April 15, the Really Cool Choir will be performing two contrasting pieces of their choice, Do You Hear the People Sing from Les Miserables, as well as the popular Some Nights by Fun. St. Joseph’s Catholic High School, also known for its musical productions and performing arts, will be performing Amazing Grace (in eight parts), and The Rose, under the direction of Kevin McSheffery. Last year this choir brought the adjudicator and audience to tears with their touching pieces

arranged by Mr. McSheffery.

That same evening the Children’s Youth Choir, under the direction of Ms. Jessica Belanger will perform Dry Bones (an arrangement of African American spiritual music) and Child of the Universe.

The Youth Choir attained a first place mark of 92 per cent at the Pembroke Music Festival in March 2015 with these pieces.

The Renfrew Rotary Music Festival will start at the Renfrew Presbyterian Church with the vocal/choir section on Monday, April 13 and continue through Friday, April 17.

The piano/fiddle section will be held at the Trinity St Andrews United Church the following week from Monday, April 20 to Friday, April 24.

All performances are open to the public with admission ranging from $2 per performance, a day pass at $5 or a festival pass $10. Programs are available for $5 at Pura Vida, Drs. Bulger/Gervais, or at the door.

Renfrew Art Guild meeting April 7 Diana Wakely

Renfrew Art Guild

I was very fortunate to attend the cultural information session this past week in Renfrew. It was a room filled with artists, cultural and municipal persons gathered to reinvigorate and celebrate arts and culture in Renfrew County.

The workshop was presented by Renfrew County Community Futures Development Corporation.

Carmen Goold, regional advisor, Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport spoke about all the means of acquiring grants, and the different classifications. She made it quite clear that if you are a professional artist, you need to apply for a grant. There are so many categories that every artist should be checking out the website to find out what is available. Who can apply?

1. Be recognized as a professional, practicing artist by other artists working in the

same field.

2. Have completed basic training (formal or informal) in your field.

3. Have spent a significant amount of time practicing your art.

4. Seek payment for your work.

That to me describes a number of artists in this area who have never applied for a grant.

An OAC grant Survival Guide is available at info@arts.on.ca/ www.art.on.ca The whole day focused on the need for the cultural base of Renfrew County to find a means of correcting the problem of communication and distance. Warden Peter Emon addressed the group and pledged the county’s support.

The day continued on that positive note with Susan Ellis, co-ordinator Economic Development, Recreation and Tourism, City of Pembroke, with a Power Point presentation of the cultural framework for the City of Pembroke and

the County of Renfrew. Take the time to explore www.ottawavalleyculture.ca. This is a wonderful communication document that brings to life the Ottawa Valley, as we know it. The workshop concluded with the intention to continue and find a solution to group arts and culture under one umbrella. Keep watching for news.

The Renfrew Art Guild is one part of the cultural scene.

We meet the first Tuesday of the month, which will be April 7 at 7 p.m. at Trinity-St. Andrews United Church, 291 Plaunt St., Renfrew.. Please use the Quarry entrance. We are asking everyone to paint a monotone picture. So put on your thinking cap and just use one colour. Everyone is welcome, coffee is decaf and everyone is friendly.

Remember Art in the Park July 11 and 12. Check out the website www.renfrewartguild. com. For more information call Diana 613-433-3635.

Crowning champs at the Renfrew Curling Club The season is winding down and playoffs and championships are in the process of being decided with most of the results now in.

Leading off is our newest entry, the Friday Night Community League, and taking the honours was Corbin’s Plumbing featuring Terry Pitt, Jim Lockwood, Corey Dougherty and Nathan Corbin who defeated the Lauren Scottskipped Scott’s Shoes.

In the Monday Night League, the team of Bill Bowles, Don Rouble, super spare Ron Townson and Tom Carroll had a great

�

finish to take the A championship, defeating the Rob Warren rink. The Gary Smith gang got a measure of revenge in taking the A consolation over Ed Lepack’s crew.

Taking the B was the Yolkowskie crew, with Lauren Scott skipping, over Andy Sklepowicz’s squad.

The Yvonne Sklepowicz rink took the consolation.

Winning the C in dramatic fashion were the Barb Westgarth ladies defeating George Scott’s lads on last rocks while Cliff Valleau’s guys evened it up in the battle of the sexes as they defeated Sher Moscaliuk’s girls in the C consolation.

In Tuesday Ladies the winners of the fourth draw

UmpIrE CLINIC for the Parson Trophy were Christine Johnson, Leith Collins, Louise Jamieson and Beth Marcella.

In the wonderful world of Wednesday Night Skins, the A championship was won by the team of Cliff Valleau, Rory McKay, Dave Anderson and Willie Curan, who defeated the Warren rink without winning a single end but taking the draw to the button after numerous carry-overs. Taking the B was the Donnie Lowe crew.

The senior men have been battling all week and coming out of the fray on the A side was the team of Andy Sklepowicz, Bob Hay, Dave Anderson and Bill Vant-Haaff after they

disposed of the Don Rouble, Brian Yolkowskie and Rob Warren teams to earn the bye into the championships.

Coming out of the B side was the Warren foursome in a decisive win over Yolkowskie’s crew.

The first game of the championships went all one way for the Warren team as they made shots while the Sklepowicz quartet struggled, leading to a familiar position for the two skips: winner take all.

And, as in the last game, missed shots quickly led the team of Rob Warren, Peter Price, Rick Lester and Larry Beaton to take a big lead and then the championship.

NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT Preliminary Design and Class Environmental Assessment Highway 17 (Chenaux Road to Yonder Hill Trail) County of Renfrew (G.W.P. 4091-13-00) THE PROJECT The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has retained IBI Group to undertake the Preliminary Design and Class Environmental (EA) Study to identify the need for improvements to Highway 17 from 500 m east of Chenaux Road to 500 m west of Yonder Hill Trail (4.5 km). This study will focus on intersection, safety and operational improvements along the existing highway including traffic signals, illumination, turn lanes and auxiliary lanes.

It will also consider possible road and entrance closures along the existing corridor.

This independent study is not associated to the expansion of Highway 17.

THE PROCESS This study will follow the process for a Group ‘B’ undertaking in accordance with the Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000). Upon completion of the study, a Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) will be prepared and made available for a 30-day review period. Notices will be posted at that time to explain the review process and identify locations where the TESR will be available for review. The project may also be stepped down to a Group ‘C’ project if the environmental screening process indicates that there will be no significant environmental effects. If the project is stepped down, an environmental screening document will be prepared for internal reference and a Notice of Step-Down will be issued and a 30-day public review period provided.

Dougherty earns bronze in weight throw at CIS Peter Clark

peter.clark@metroland.com

Sarah Dougherty continues to perform at a high level in the women’s weight throw.

The former Renfrew Collegiate Raider and graduate of RCI finished third in the country at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) track and field championships hosted by the University of Windsor Lancers March 12.

Dougherty’s bronze medal-winning performance of 17.36 metres and the six individual points garnered also helped her Guelph Gryphons women’s teammates to a fourth-place finish overall with 68 points.

The University of Toronto Blues topped the women’s field with 131.5 points.

Brittany Crew of the York Lions won the gold at 18.45 metres. Olena Olenick of Saskatchewan took silver with a throw of 17.45 metres.

Crew and Dougherty are no strangers to each other. When Dougherty opened 2015 by capturing the women’s weight throw at the Guelph New Year Opener with a throw of 17 metres, Crew finished second.

The Horton Township thrower was rewarded on three levels following that performance.

She was named the Gryphons female athlete of the week, as well as female athlete of the week by both the Ontario University Athletics (OUA)

and CIS for the period ending Jan. 4.

That also ranked her number 1 in the weight throw in the CIS. Competing in Windsor this year marked the third consecutive year that Dougherty qualified for the CIS Championship. She also won bronze last year at the University of Alberta in Edmonton with a throw of 17.19 metres.

Personal best

Dougherty’s 17.36-metre bronze medal effort this year is a personal best and also a school record. She also finished seventh in the shot put with a throw of 13.26 metres at this year’s CIS championship.

“The 13.26 (in the shot put) is also a personal best, so it was a pretty successful season for me,” Dougherty said. “It was a challenging year, facing injuries in the middle of my season. To come back and do well when it matters is a really good feeling.”

The three Gryphons throwers at the CIS championships earned three podium finishes (gold, silver and bronze) as well as three school record distances. The Guelph men’s team won silver, Dougherty noted.

“I will return for my final year as captain in attempt to improve on this year’s results,” she said.

Dougherty attended the Gryphon Athletic Banquet last Thursday, and received a four-year honour award along with track and field MVP.

Stittsville off to EOJHL final in six games.

A 7-4 win in Buckingham last Friday night capped the series triumph for the Rams, who become the first Valley team to reach the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League final since 1996.

A pair of 3-2 wins in games two Mission Statement and three – one “Renfrew and District Food Bank provides food to people in need” in overtime, the other in the final NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING minute – turned this series around for Stittsville.

I would like to express my thanks to Robyn Michelle and her team of professionals for making Sparkplug’s last days as tolerable as possible.

Also the Doctor’s and their staff at the Marmora clinic for the medical care they provided throughout this time of need. Also Claudia Kwok, Carrie Bursey and her brother Morley for all their help and understanding. And a very special thanks to Carrie for being there when I needed someone and for putting up with my whining!

PAIGE Mary Rose The Paige family announces with sadness the passing of Mary Paige, formerly of Pakenham on March 26, 2015 at Fairview Manor at the age of 97.

Born Mary Rose Nicholson on December 15, 1917 in Kilmuir, Prince Edward Island, she was the daughter of the late Daniel J Nicholson (1920) and the late Flora Rose (1975). Mary was predeceased by her husband Bert (1975), daughter Dawn (1975), son Daniel E (2012), and two brothers: Daniel J (killed in action in 1944) and Homer (1965). She is the dearly loved mother of Ian (Janet Rintoul), Jane (Stewart Barr), Margie (Ritchie Argue), and Sandra (Francis Fuca); the proud grandmother of Rodney Barr (Samantha), Cindy Hartwick (Troy), Emily Paige (Daniel Gies), Daniel M Paige (Carly Leithead), Paige Wattie (Jared), Gillian Argue, and Grace Badham (Andrew); and she is survived by her 10 wonderful great-grandchildren. Mary is also fondly remembered by Alice Puddington; niece and nephews: Janice, Frankie and Jamie, in Kitchener; and sister-in-law, Nancy Paige, in California. At the age of eighteen Mary was teaching at a one-room school at Albion, PEI (many grades in one room was no doubt valuable preparation for rearing six kids and welcoming all their pals). Throughout her life she cherished her Island roots, often returning to see family and friends. During the war, she was hired by the Bank of Montreal in Charlottetown to fill a vacancy left when her brother Dan enlisted in the army never to return. On a blind date in 1943, Mary met Bertram Courtney Paige, an RCAF officer from Bridgeport, Ontario who was training in Summerside. Before Bert returned overseas, they were wed in 1944 in Alberta where he had been stationed. Bert and Mary lived in Kitchener, Waterloo and Gowanstown prior to moving to Pakenham in 1965. Mary was a quiet, private person who deeply valued her friendships with dear neighbours in Pakenham, as well as those formed while working as the bookkeeper in the early days of the Centennial Restaurant.

She treasured the time spent as a life member of the Women’s Institute, as a member of St. Andrew’s United Church and the UCW, as a volunteer at the library, and at the card table playing bridge. A Memorial Service was held at 11:00 am on Tuesday, March 31 at St Andrew’s United Church in Pakenham. A reception followed, and as Mary would want, dessert will be served!

Arrangements entrusted to C.R. GAMBLE FUNERAL HOME & CHAPEL INC. 127 Church St., Almonte, ON. (613)-256-3313 Heartfelt thanks to the dedicated staff at Fairview Manor for their compassionate care. Donations to St Andrew’s United Church or Fairview Manor Auxiliary would be appreciated.

But to all there comes a moment When the ways of life divide You gave me years of happiness Then came sorrow and tears But you left me beautiful memories I will treasure through the years

St. Joseph’s Calabogie schools holds successful ski program St. Joseph’s, Calabogie

Throughout the month of February, the students at St. Joseph’s Catholic School in Calabogie took part in a month-long ski program. The school has always done a day at Calabogie Peaks, but the kids were not all skiing.

“I think only eight students skied last year, and the majority of them were already skiers; the rest of the students went tubing,” said Rory Donohue, principal of St. Joseph’s, “then at a meeting in the fall one of the teachers in the school, Amanda Cameron, suggested that perhaps we could offer a clinic prior to the ski day in order for the non-skiers to gain the confidence needed to tackle the challenge.”

Each Thursday of the month, all of the students boarded a bus right after morning assembly and headed over

to Calabogie Peaks for a onehour lesson.

“The RCCDSB has placed a great deal of emphasis on outdoor ed. We are just very fortunate to be living and working, and going to school, in an area which provides such an abundance of opportunity for learning outdoors,” continued Donohue.

Led by Krista Smith and the instructional team at the Peaks, the kids were put through their paces of gliding, turning, ‘making the pizza’ and stopping. Each week the instructors assessed the readiness of the kids to ride the chair to the top and come down a course laid out for them on Ole K and P. By the third week, about 12 students were skiing the course on the big hill.

Natascha Collier, a parent of two children at the school, and one of the many volunteers who made this program

possible, was astonished at the progress the kids made over the four weeks.

“The first week I came and saw them I thought some of them were getting a bit discouraged, and then the third week everybody was skiing and just having a blast and seemed very confident. But it’s not just the skiing; our school is really a school where learning is fun,” Collier said.

Then, on Thursday, Feb. 26, the kids had their last one-hour lesson, and the school held its annual ski day. Of the 36 students in the school, 25 of them qualified to ride the chair to ski on their favourite run, and all other students in the school were able to complete a slalom course on the small hill.

Said Donohue, “It really is astounding when you think of it. Every student at St Joseph’s either learned how to ski this year or, if they were already

Renfrew Pizzeria captures 2015 Men’s Hockey title Peter Clark

peter.clark@metroland.com

For two games, the Renfrew Men’s Hockey League championship series was a competitive battle.

Renfrew Pizzeria and Cybulski Sheet Medal were evenly matched despite their respective first and fourth-place regular season status. Pizzeria had prevailed 2-0 and 3-2 in overtime.

But goals from Drew Anderson and Ryan Arbuthnot in the first couple of minutes vaulted the pizza shop into a quick 20 lead in game three March 23, and Cybulski’s never recovered.

When the dust settled, Pizzeria became the first team to capture the Terry McIntyre Memorial Cup. They rode to an 8-0 win to sweep the best-of-five

2015 title series at the MaTe-Way Activity Centre.

Arbuthnot added a second goal, while singles came from Kurtis Leclaire, Daniel Plouffe, Adam Martin, Jimmy MacMillan and Brady Pender.

Martin’s was a shorthanded goal. He also led in the assist column with a pair.

Tyler Miller earned the shutout, but only had to kicked aside eight shots.

Matt Wolfgram faced 27 drives in the CSM goalcrease.

Ryan McIntyre, son of former referee Terry, made the trophy presentation to Renfrew Pizzeria captain Mike Deslaurier at the game’s conclusion.

Regular season and playoffs combined, Pizzeria won 21 games while losing just two, and tying one in 2014-15.

Renfrew Pizzeria captured the Terry McIntyre Memorial Cup, emblematic of Renfrew Men’s Hockey League champions March 23 at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. In front is coach/owner Don Rodgers; first row, from left Jimmy MacMillan, Dylan Zavitske, Mike Deslaurier, Drew Anderson, Tyler Miller; and standing, Randy Smith, Daniel Plouffe, Brady Pender, Landin Miller, Eric Logan, Ryan Arbuthnot, Andrew Green, Kurtis Leclaire, Scott Davis and Adam Martin.

History will show that Renfrew did not get shut out from the list of Upper Ottawa Valley Hockey League champions in the 2014-15 season.

Canadian Tire saw to that Tuesday night, March 24 at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

The Renfrew team claimed the atom house league title with a 2-0 win over the visiting Deep River Knights.

Gabrielle Cayen scored in the first period, and Mackenzie Earle’s flawless goalkeeping made it stand up.

Keegan Crozier added a championship-clinching empty net goal in the game’s final minute.

The win gave Canadian Tire the four-point series five points to one.

A pair of Riley Fielding markers gave CTC a 2-2 tie in Deep River March 24.

Canadian Tire won the first game of the series 5-0 March 9 at the MAC. REP PLAYOFFS

Major Midget title.

Pembroke fended off the Major Midget Wolves 4-3 March 9 despite two Renfrew goals from Billy Karras. Austin Scheuneman had a single, while Nicholas Ethier chipped in with a pair of helpers.

The two teams skated to a 6-6 barnburner in game two at the MAC last Friday night.

Kevin Crozier notched a pair of markers for the Wolves, who overcame 1-0, 3-1 and 5-3 deficits before taking a 6-5 lead with three goals in the third period.

Austin Scheuneman, Bantam Wolves affiliate Ben Scheuneman, Justin Knight-Locke and Karras collected solos.

Karras gave Renfrew a 6-5 lead before Pembroke responded with a late goal to re tie the game.

The Wolves had a chance to win it in the final moments. Austin Scheuneman was a awarded a penalty shot when the Pembroke goaltender knocked the net from its moorings with 1.3 seconds left.

Each team scored three powerplay goals in the freewheeling contest.

Jeremy Bibeau was between the pipes in both games one and two for the Major Midget Wolves.

Pembroke took its 3-1 series points lead back home Sunday afternoon, and needed just a tie to capture the midget crown. That’s exactly what they got, holding the Wolves to a 2-2 deadlock.

The result gave Pembroke the 2015 championship four points to two.

Mary Cook Memories

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t count on it,â&#x20AC;? Father said from behind the Family Herald and Weekly Star.

Mother, instead of sitting at the end of the old pine table in front of her diaries as usual, that night was gathering up mitts, wool hats, and ordering us, the five of us, to put our long underwear in the dirty clothes, because it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely we would be wearing it again the next day.

Coming from the Northcote school that day, we had to carry our coats as the sun beat down on us, and the smell of spring was in the air. Just a few days before, it was cold and a fierce wind cut across the twenty-acre field, and there was no doubt in anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind that winter was still around.

But now, so soon after, the weather changed, and we could see that much of the snow had gone from the fields, and the Northcote Side road was bare. It was no wonder Mother said spring was in the air, and it was time to get rid of the heavy clothes and that included the long underwear we had been wearing since the first bite of winter in the fall.

There wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one of us who wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thrilled to be rid of the hateful long johns.

After months of weekly washings, they had lost their softness, the ankles were stretched beyond repair, and the elastic around the waist hung limp. We were more than happy to bid the long underwear goodbye!

That night, Mother was gathering up the mitts, scarves and hats and piling every-

thing on a chair near the back door. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Monday, so there would be no washing. Everything would have to wait for the laundry tub until after the weekend.

I could see Father shaking his head from his rocking chair by the Findlay Oval. Finally, he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep quiet any longer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m telling you Mabel, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plenty winter out there yet. Everyone will be back in that long underwear, you can bet on it!â&#x20AC;?

Mother stopped gathering up the mitts, hats and scarves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, Albert, where were you all day? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m telling you weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen the last of the snow. Sure, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like May out there today.â&#x20AC;?

Father lifted the lid off the Findlay Oval and slapped his pipe into the firebox, emptying it and getting ready for another load of pipe tobacco. He took his time sitting back down in the rocking chair. And then he went on to explain to Mother once again all the signs that pointed to a long winter and that it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t over yet, and it mattered not how warm it was that day, or if all the snow had gone off the Northcote Side Road.

He explained a sure sign was how deep the early snow was. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sure sign. If the deer can reach the branches of the trees, you can count on a long winter.â&#x20AC;?

He relit his pipe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And remember when we butchered and the pig liver â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;meltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; showed those little lumps...well, that told me what we were in for.â&#x20AC;?

Mother just shook her head, and once again told Father that those â&#x20AC;&#x153;old wives talesâ&#x20AC;? as she called them, held no water with her!

The next morning, I could hear Father in

the kitchen lighting the fire as he did every morning. And the bedroom had chilled off overnight, as I ran to jump into my clothes for school, so glad to be rid of the long underwear. But it seemed awfully bright out the bedroom window and it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an early morning sun either. I went to the window and lo and behold, the snow was coming down in buckets full! And it looked like it had snowed all night!

Then I heard Mother coming up the stairs.

She had dug out the long underwear from the pile of clothes we had taken off the night before and without a word, handed them over to each of us. When we went downstairs for breakfast, our hats, mitts and scarves were waiting for us at the back door.

Father came in from the chores and sat down at the table for his breakfast. Mother was banging the frying pan around on the top of the stove. She was wearing the look she wore when she was as mad as a hatter.

Father knew better than to mention the signs he had talked about the night before or to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told you so,â&#x20AC;? when Mother hissed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to hear about the deer eating low branches or spots of a pigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liver.â&#x20AC;?

The snow was as deep as it had been at the first of the winter and we would find out it would come down for the next three days.

Even my brother Emerson, who usually had a lot to say, never opened his mouth at the kitchen table that morning except to shovel in the porridge and toast.

It was the quietest breakfast weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d had in a long time.

Garry Irving, who conducted the afternoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chalk Talk, illustrated the Rule of 26 in a novel manner. He dealt out hands to four participants at a table and had them bid the hands the traditional way. Then he had them

apply the Rule of 26 to the same hands, which produced a different and superior bid. The Chalk Talks continue to engage and inform participants. They are held at 12:30, prior to the start of afternoon play at 1 p.m.

The afternoon saw six successful small slam bids. No grand slams were attempted.

Bringing home six no-trump were these teams: Carol Sulpher, David Sulpher; Garry Ir-

Charlene Edwards-Budden’s Grade 10 careers class hears from former RCI student Kirsten Appleyard via skype.

Hebron Christian Reformed Church

Former student addresses RCI career class via Skype Raiders Review

A Renfrew Collegiate graduate, now provenance researcher and curatorial assistant at the National Gallery of Canada, Skyped Mrs. EdwardsBudden’s Grade 10 careers class on Friday, Feb. 27.

Kirsten Appleyard explained to students what her job as a researcher and curator was like, as well as gave helpful tips applicable to all careers.

Appleyard told students that while in high school, she did not know exactly what she wanted to pursue.

“Don’t be afraid to explore different interests. You won’t know you like something until you try it,” she said.

Appleyard once wanted to be a doctor, but became interested in her current field when she was exposed to liberal arts. She received her masters of arts, art history from the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana. She lived in France for a year, and even received a research grant to work in Florence, Italy while writing

her master’s thesis at Notre Dame.

“It was really neat how (Appleyard) ended up in a field that she never even thought about,” said Grade 10 student, Reid Hall. “It was very relatable to me right now.”

Among the tips Appleyard gave students was to make connections with professionals in your field.

“Networking is important in the professional world; (it is) a way to get your name out,” she said.

Now, Appleyard works at the National Gallery of Canada, where she researches the ownership history of paintings in the Gallery’s European collection, primarily to ensure that they were never stolen by the Nazis.

“I found her story about discovering her career path interesting,” said Tim Meighen, another Grade 10 student. “It’s helpful to know that it is okay to change your mind and explore new subjects.”

Appleyard is currently assisting with the curating of an upcoming Monet exhibition at the National Gallery.

Interest has been shown to start up a junior firefighters program in Greater Madawaska Township. Council was made aware by CAO Allison Holtzhauer that other municipalities run a similar program.

The executive of the township’s fire department acknowledged that the municipality doesn’t have a lot of children that can be involved in this, but wishes to go ahead with the program.

“They’d rather get anyone interested now, to harvest that interest in hopes that when they are older (18) they can become a firefighter,” Holtzhauer said. “The firefighters are really keen to see this program get started. It’s nice to see that they are interested in wanting to expand it into the community.”

A junior firefighters application form has also been developed.

The municipality is currently looking to hire a new firechief, and the program will be put on hold until that person is in place.

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

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 You are determined to get things done this week, Aries. You might want to start with that long list of chores that you have been putting off for some time.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, a challenge awaits you this week. Don’t be afraid to seek help from others, as recognizing you need help is a sign that you’re capable of handling this task.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, accepting too much responsibility at work is starting to affect your performance. Delay some of your more trivial tasks to focus on the more important ones.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, it’s easy to get your way this week, but try to remain humble.

Others might not be so lucky, so offer your help in any way you can.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, enthusiasm about a new plan reigns supreme. You don’t need to convince others about your excitement. Just jump right in and get started on the project.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, your generosity knows no bounds and that is a trait people love about you. Continue this positive approach to life, and your efforts will be their own reward.
