News - Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski has taken exception to a suggestion by Ontario Transportation Minister Glen Murray that the provincial Opposition parties and the federal government should share the blame if the four-laning of Highway 417 up the Valley is delayed.

During a brief visit to Arnprior last month to see work on highway four-laning first-hand, Murray indicated that the minority Liberal government couldn’t add the next phase of the work from Scheel Drive to Renfrew on the ministry’s five-year plan without support from the Opposition parties for more investment into infrastructure. The federal government should also ante up some money as Highway 17 is the Trans Canada Highway, he added.

Yakabuski responded to the comments by pointing out that it is the government, not the Opposition, that decides which projects should go ahead. “I don’t believe it was acceptable for him to come into the riding and play cheap political games,� he said.

Yakabuski followed up his comments by raising the issue at Queen’s Park on March 24.

He was upset that there might have been an inference he was backing away from his strong support for the four-laning through Renfrew County.

“I never stopped pushing that project and I’m not going to stop now,� he told The Renfrew Mercury. “I think I’ve had some success getting it through Arnprior.�

He noted that several Liberal transportation ministers have congratulated him over the years for his lobbying to have Highway 17 fourlaned.

During question period in the Ontario Legislature, Yakabuski expressed disappointment in Murray’s statements, which he interpreted as questioning his commitment to the twinning of Highway 17.

He said the Conservatives are committed to bringing the province’s finances into line and supporting a weak Liberal budget just to get Highway 17 twinned would be “ludicrous.�

If the provincial debt isn’t tackled, all projects, including Highway 17 improvements, would be jeopardized, he said.

He noted that the $1.1 billion wasted on the gas plant cancellations “could have twinned Highway 17 ten times over.�

However, his party is not recommending chopping infrastructure funding, he maintained.

Yakabuski emphasized that Murray has discretion as Minister of Transportation over highway projects. “If the Minister instructs his staff to make Highway 17 a top priority, it becomes a top priority,� he said.

Grant opens recreation doors for Greater Madawaska and neighbours Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

News - The co-ordinator of a new multi-municipality recreation program was introduced to Greater Madawaska council March 25.

Renfrew native Jordan Wall will co-ordinate recreation and activity programs through the financial support of the Province of Ontario, and support provided by the Town of Renfrew.

The program will serve Greater Madawaska, Bonnechere Valley and North Algona Wilberforce townships, as well as Renfrew.

“I just wanted to say what great excitement we have with the grant that has been approved,” said Renfrew recreation director Kevin Hill.

“Now that Jordan is on board, we just wanted to say that it is working extremely well. We are very pleased with the progress that has been

Jordan Wall, new recreation and activity programs coordinator. made,” Hill added.

“I’m very excited for the opportunity to work with the three townships.

Co-ordinator Wall started Feb. 21. He held a successful

PA Day at Calabogie Peaks for kids in the areas, which drew about 250 youth and adults.

Skiing lessons, tubing and snowboarding were free for the kids, Wall noted. Flyers will be sent out monthly with the mail to notify people of events coming up.

“We are working on summer programs, to offer day camps in the areas, swimming lessons; and to offer programs to seniors and adults as well, not just the youth.

Mayor Peter Emon noted Hill did a lot of spadework with Bonnechere Valley, North Algona Wilberforce and Renfrew council to put this program together.

“I went to school with Jordan’s dad. It’s a real pleasure to have him with us,” Emon said.

Hill said he believes the STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND grant will allow Renfrew’s three neighbouring municipalities to make great strides in recreation.

Taylor sells business to focus on election Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Jeff Taylor is a busy guy. He owns his own construction company and a swimwear business, but he has just sold his third Renfrew business to focus on getting elected to town council.

“I’ve decided to run for council,” said Taylor, 44.

“But I don’t want people to say I don’t have the time. I want to show that I do have a plan in place, that I do have the time.”

Taylor, who bought a Raglan Street diner last December, has sold Rise ‘n’ Shine Diner to his niece, Candice Landreau.

Landreau, who was already involved in the business, said business is so good that she plans to expand hours and open seven, instead of six, days a week.

“I think it’s a fantastic idea,” said Landreau, 29, of her uncle’s efforts to seek a position as town councillor.

“He can bring a new set of eyes and ears, and it will be good to have a businessman on council.”

Landreau assumed ownership of Rise ‘n’ Shine Diner on April 1.

Taylor, who has just completed an online course on municipal politics offered by the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, filed his nomination papers Monday, March 31.

“The authority to make the decision rests with him and him alone. My job is to continue to advocate for its approval, which I have been doing for the last 10 years – the minister said as much in his remarks in the House,” said Yakabuski.

As the local MPP, Yakabuski said he is familiar with the safety concerns of driving on Highway 17 and the economic implications the project would have in Renfrew County and for all of Eastern Ontario.

He said Murray, when asked in Question Period, agreed there is no merit to the suggestion the project has been delayed due to lack of advocacy from local representatives. Moreover, Murray commended the MPP for his advocacy on the twinning project.

“I was pleased that the minister clarified his comments and wants the twinning to go forward,” Yakabuski remarked.

“My desire going forward is that we can work together to get the twinning of the highway put on the Transportation Ministry’s fiveyear plan.”

Changes coming at Times Fiber steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Renfrew council has approved a siteplan application that will turn part of Times Fiber’s O’Brien Road facility into four independent commercial units.

Approval came after town planner Ivan Burton’s summary of the application

at the March 26 meeting of town council.

The proposed modifications will accommodate four commercial unit that permit uses within a light industrial zone. According to the site-plan application, the intention is to lease or rent these spaces to external companies.

The site plan calls for three new garage doors

Debate over new fee Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Times Fiber, which has about 90,000 square feet at the O’Brien Road facility, is recognized worldwide as one of the pioneer developers of broadband cable technology.

The company also has sites in Virginia, Connecticut, Korea, China, Mexico and Brazil.Its extensive list of products includes coaxial cables, fiber optic cables and high-speed data kits.

Three Times Fiber representatives attended the council meeting.

Upon request, the group provided a brief verbal statement to The Renfrew Mercury.

Times Fiber said it appreciated the town’s co-operation in approving the site plan, but that it could not supply specific details at this time regarding plans for the new commercial units.

News - There may be another decade of space at the Renfrew landfill site, but the town is now taking steps to see if it can expand landfill capacity an extra 28 years.

With that objective in mind, town council unanimously has voted to spend $33,000 plus taxes to have Golder and Associates prepare a report to examine the feasibility and cost benefit of proceeding with phase-five expansion.

There’s no space in the 2014 budget, but treasurer Keray O’Reilly says the financing for the study could come from the environmental reserve, whose balance at the end of 2013 was $184,752.

Closure of the landfill following the end of the current phase four would prove costly, but so will any process to be approved by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment for phase-five expansion.

A 2012 report indicated there

Important Notice

was 11.4 to 18.6 years capacity remaining at the Bruce Street landfill site.

The approval process for phase five, says development and works staff, would cost an estimated $300,000 to $800,000 to complete.

This phase could take five to eight years, said development and works director Mike Asselin.

Therefore, the town’s 10-year capital budget recommends putting aside $40,000 in 2015 and another $100,000 for several of the subsequent years.

Regulations required that phase-five approval be obtained two years before phase-four capacity is reached.

Without phase-five approval, Asselin said the estimated annual cost to the town to transport landfill elsewhere would be $1.4 million.

It might cost an additional $450,000 annually to dispose of curbside garbage collection.

News - Acting Mayor Jim Miller got an earful from Coun. Tom Anderson during discussion of Renfrew’s proposed new feesfor-service schedule.

March 24 passage of the fees was expected to be a formality, except for possibly the new fee for recreational-vehicle waste disposal at Haramis Park.

The town built and connected the waste disposal site to the local sewage system about two years ago for about $10,000.

All of council approved the schedule, except for Miller who abstained. At previous meetings, Miller said he didn’t want to charge users for RV waste disposal, to entice tourists here.

Coun. Gail Cole said she felt the approved charge of $10, including HST, was not that great. “I don’t think it’s out of line,� she said.

Coun. Clint McWhirter approved of not charging local ratepayers, a sentiment that was generally supported by council.

In supporting the surcharge, Anderson said, “It’s a little protectionism, but I think we owe it to our ratepayers.�

Miller had sent e-mails to council members in which he recommended there be no charge.

Coun. Anderson told council that he took issue with the tone of the email.

He told acting-mayor Miller he was a “little bit upset� by the email and that he found the tone of the memo “bothersome.�

Anderson said he objected to being called stupid in the memo. Miller countered by saying he didn’t call anyone stupid but said supporting a disposal charge would be a stupid move.

Anderson sought to set the record straight by reading a portion of the email that referred to how “we

are stupid to consider having a charge ‌ That’s pretty clear to me.�

Both Miller and Anderson are mayoral candidates in the campaign that ends with October’s municipal election.

The new schedule of fees for service includes a few sharp increases and several modest increases.

Following discussion with community sports groups and comparing its fees with those in other nearby municipalities, recreation director Kevin Hill said the proposed schedule was “fairly� well received by users.

The new schedule also comes after many users said they were receiving better-than-average service, said Hill.

Sharp increases include an hourly charge to schools of $47 for ice time at MaTe-Way Activity Centre.

Previously, there was no charge. Other new hourly ice-rental fees include $95 for minor sport, $139 for junior B hockey and $161 for adults. The previous fees were $89, $128.50 and $158.

There are minor increases for renting the soccer, baseball and softball fields, while rental of the Kallies Pavillion (canteen) and volleyball courts remain unchanged.

One of the highest increases was rental of the games room, from $6.25 to $15 per hour. Rental of the hobby room and conference room remain unchanged at $10 per hour. The hourly rate for the gym jumps from $22.50 to $25, but the daily fee remains $300.

Body Worx memberships have jumped more substantially. Orientation and one-month memberships remain the same, while three-month, sixmonth and yearly fees are up.

For example, the yearly cost jumps from $120 to $145, including HST.

and other relatively minor changes. “Every once in a while you see economic development,� said Coun. Clint McWhirter. “It’s great to see something happening.�

It was good to see some developments after rumours the last few years of Times Fiber’s impending demise, said Coun. Gail Cole.

The four independent units will have two portions that total nearly 18,000 square feet.

The first portion, on the east side of the building, will house three units with surface areas of 219, 450 and 667 square metres. That area of 1,336 square metres equals 14,369 square feet.

The second portion, located on the south side of the building, will encompass one unit of 3,000 square metres, or 3,229 square feet.

Roads need more attention: Darch Accolades for retiring director Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News – Only 58 per cent of Renfrew County’s network of about 820 kilometres of roads meet system-adequacy standards, and something needs to be done about it.

So said retiring engineering director Dave Darch’s during his March 26 report to county council on the levels of service of Renfrew County assets.

According to the two-month analysis by about 10 members of county staff, an unsatisfactory percentage of the county’s road network is deemed adequate.

This levels of service (LOS) analysis will be incorporated into the county’s full asset management plan, which is scheduled for council’s approval later this year.

Warden Peter Emon said it’s “going to be reassuring to have a framework” for managing county assets. These assets include roads, bridges, major culverts, fleet vehicles and equipment, social housing buildings, long-term care facilities, and county buildings. The latter consists of administration buildings, public works yards and paramedic facilities.

There is a high percentage of acceptable levels of service for such assets as paramedic facilities, bridges, social housing buildings and long-term care facilities.

Generally speaking, when the county staff took a look at its assets, they found a high percentage of assets were in good to fair condition.

The same can’t be said about the county’s roads, said Darch.

The analysis said all county roads are being

maintained in safe condition, but only 58 per cent of county roads meet standards of overall system adequacy.

The objective, now, is to gradually address the issue, said Darch, noting this means 42 per cent of county roads fall into what he called a “nowneed.”

The roads’ now-needs fall into eight categories, such as traffic capacity, structure, road width, geometrics, curvature and drainage.

“Some municipalities (elsewhere) are in the 90s (as far as overall system adequacy),” said Darch.

“We’re not there. We’d like to get 70 per cent, but that will take time. We’re too low right now, but it’s going to take about 20 years to get there, assuming certain funding levels. Maybe we can hit 60 or 65 per cent in 10 years.”

The county’s levels of service are a critical component of asset management, said Darch, because “it’s going to define how you define and approach your capital works programs. It will generate the timing and the extent of the rehab strategy … for each one of your assets.”

“The roads are the assets that probably grab the most attention,” said Darch after his presentation.

“They need a lot of work in terms of strategies to bring them up (to standard). We’re at 58 per cent for system adequacy and we want to target 75 per cent.”

That’s quite a variance, but Darch said council accepts it may take two decades to reach that level.

The analysis, he said, will also allow the county to incorporate “just-in-time” strategies, such as road overlays, to improve levels of system adequacy.

“The whole idea behind asset management is to preserve the life of your roads (and other assets),” said Darch.

News - Dave Darch of Foymount took some gentle ribbing, but he mostly received accolades for the last seven years he spent as the Renfrew County engineering director.

At the March 26 session of county council, Darch said those final years were among the best of his 46-year career that was spent mostly in public works.

“We’ve all gained respect for him because he’s done a very credible and actually incredible job balancing his work and personal life,” said Warden Peter Emon with Darch’s wife, Jo-Anne Poirier, in the council chambers.

“It wasn’t difficult to support Dave, because he’s been wonderfully supportive of me,” said Poirier after receiving a bouquet of flowers from council staff.

“He has thoroughly enjoyed his seven years at the county, and I want to thank all of you for your support.

“I’m (also) very happy that I was here (today) for the asset-management presentation because Dave talks about it at home all the time. To actually see it manifest itself in a result, and have it so well supported, is very gratifying.”

Operations committee chairman Walter Stack of Arnprior also commented on Darch’s contributions.

“Dave has certainly given 100 per cent.

It has been a real learning experience for me, because I certainly didn’t know any-

thing about roads and culverts and bridges,” said Stack.

“He has been a real team player who has worked outside his department, with the asset management report. He has taken the lead in a number of changes on major issues,” he added, in reference to corporate purchase policy review, Highway 417 expansion, asset management, active transportation review and department restructuring.

“Dave, you’re a true gentleman, and I’ve really enjoyed the last seven years working with you.”

Warden Emon complimented Darch for his constructive guidance for county officials in two important areas.

He said Darch provided structure for the county’s 150th-anniversary celebrations in 2011 and “recast our relationship with the Province” in lobbying for Hwy. 417 improvements and expansion.

“It could have been a very dangerous and adversarial relationship, and your efforts to recast that, I think, has heightened the respect for our input that was received by the Province.”

County chief administrative officer Jim Hutton also weighed in with comments.

“His dedication is really what impressed me … He’s very enthusiastic and a team player,” said the CAO, noting Darch agreed to remain on the job an extra three months to facilitate completion of important work and transition to his successor.

Town of Renfrew

New policies cause deep concern Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Renfrew County staff and councillors have expressed big concerns with the new Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) that comes into effect April 30.

The county will report on the implications of the document to the development and property committee and county council later this month, after attending an April 1 information session in Perth.

However, the early signs are that the 2014 PPS is doing few favours for Renfrew County and other rural jurisdictions.

At the March 26 meeting of county council, development and property director Paul Moreau was among county staff or elected officials who said they’re concerned about the content of the new PPS. The document “makes us nervous on several fronts,� said Moreau, noting he wouldn’t say too much until he and other staff attend the April 1 session and prepare a response for the April 15 meeting of the county’s development

and property committee.

Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon called the document “quite frightening.�

CAO Jim Hutton said it represented a tightening of the screws, and continuation of Ontario’s rural-urban divide.

Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack said the government’s only going to continue “to tighten the screws as long as we let them.�

Bonnechere Valley Mayor Jennifer Murphy wondered what the danger was if the county disregarded the new policies and told the government to shove it. “I’m sick of this,â€? she said. “At one point do we as a county stand up ‌ Are they going to put us in Provincial Policy Statement jail?â€?

Ignoring the PPS changes could result in full-fledged enforcement of the PPS without negotiation, responded Warden Emon.

Moreau said the Province does exercise some leverage over the county, since it has given the county approval authority over Official Plans for the county’s 17-member municipalities.

As going-away presentations, Darch received a Darch Road street sign, a Renfrew County plaque of appreciation, and golf shirts for himself and his wife.

After thanking several county personnel that he worked with, Darch said he leaves the county with mixed emotions.

“The county has been just superb. It’s been a real rewarding experience for me.�

After 46 years in the workplace, Darch said, “I can say without a doubt that my seven years at the county have been among my most rewarding years. And I really have a lot of people to thank for that.�

His thank-yous included ones for council members and their willingness to discuss issues.

One councillor he singled out was operations committee chairman Stack. “Walter’s not a shy, retiring person. He tells it like it is, but I really appreciate that,� said Darch.

In wrapping up, he started to say that he would be remiss if he didn’t acknowledge his wife. However, the emotional Darch couldn’t finish the sentence, before turning to her and saying, “I love you.�

County kick-o ceremony for Daodil Month Ottawa Valley Tours

Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Renfrew County volunteers with the Canadian Cancer Society helped launch April’s annual fundraising campaign in county council chambers.

In a brief, heartfelt address to county council March 26, canvasser Jean Maves spoke about the importance of the campaign. “Please give generously when your canvasser comes to call,� she said. “Why do we work so hard during Daffodil Month, and every other month of the year? “It’s because every three minutes another Canadian is diagnosed with cancer. Many of them are our friends and family,� added Maves, who has lost one family member to cancer. “Donations to the society support life-saving cancer research. “Those same donations fund local programs like our volunteer transportation services and information programs, helping Renfrew County residents and all Canadians make informed decisions about how cancer is treated and, just as important, how it can be prevented.�

p.m. at the Renfrew Recreation Centre.

Tickets for the event are $15 each and are available at Keeping Company, J&J Chocolate Sensations, Dahl’s Convenience and the Renfrew Recreation Centre.

A quote from American author Leo Buscaglia lies at the heart of the pageant. He said, “Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.�

The Teen Ontario East Pageant Organization has adapted this quote as the basis of the organization’s direction and the focus of the titleholders. It is the directive of the MTOE group to give young ladies in our region an opportunity to do something unique and memorable, while introducing them to an important cause that benefits from their time and efforts.

The opportunity to participate in a pageant is a memorable experience for a young

lady, and the opportunity to incorporate a charity/volunteer flavour is a unique and personally fulfilling achievement. MTOE is proud to associate their organization with a variety of childhood cancer charity foundations and to do their best to raise awareness for childhood cancer and the charities that assist those children and families affected by this dreaded disease.

Although childhood cancer awareness is the official organization platform, the MTOE titleholders are introduced to a variety of charities within the region and assist them at events and provide fundraising assistance throughout their year of reign.

Sonya Bergin, Miss Teen Ontario East 2013, will be handing over her title on April 6 to one of the 21 lovely 2014 delegates and will then take on the regional national title of Miss Teenage Eastern Ontario and will represent the pageant and region at the 2014 Miss Teenage Canada Pageant in July.

The 2014 pageant will be hosted by Jason Smith, Miss Teen Ontario East 2011 Hillary MacMillan and Miss Teen Ontario East 2012 Gracie Stewart, with entertainment provided by the 2014 delegates and Miss Teen Ontario East 2013 Sonya Bergin.

Sonya, along with 2013 first runner-up Saralyn Deslaurier and second runner-up Tianna Tettemer will be on hand throughout pageant weekend to give support and encouragement to the 2014 Teen Ontario East delegates.

Community - The Miss Teen Ontario East Pageant is a regional pageant encompassing the entire Eastern Ontario area. The pageant organization is unique because it is comprised solely of volunteers and any proceeds from the pageant production are donated directly to a childhood cancer charity.

The Teen Ontario East Pageant is a recognized fundraising and awareness event for childhood cancer and is a qualifying regional pageant to the Miss Teenage Canada (formerly Miss Teen Canada World) pageant held annually in Toronto. Over the past few years, the Teen Ontario East Pageant (MTOE) and its titleholders have received formal recognition for their childhood cancer awareness campaigns and for making a difference in the lives of kids with cancer.

Every year, the Teen Ontario East delegates are introduced to childhood cancer champions, have the opportunity to get involved with various childhood cancer charities and ultimately understand the passion and the objective of the MTOE organization.

The delegates arrive on Thursday, April 3 and will partake in a variety of workshops, preliminary competitions, charity events and rehearsals in addition to having some rather entertaining delegate activities – all leading up to the pageant production on April 6 at 7

OPINION

EDITORIAL

Don’t let agricultural colleges fall fallow Opinion - Politicians of every stripe and level are fond of saying how important agriculture is to our country and region.

After all, everyone’s got to eat. And the hardworking, salt-of-the-earth farmers are easy to admire and support.

Besides, the more of our own food we can supply, the less vulnerable we become to outside forces. That has become even more evident as fuel prices skyrocket and along with them food prices.

Rising concerns about food costs and safety have spawned initiatives such as grow/buy local food efforts and the 100-mile diet.

Unfortunately, in a time where we need more not less people involved in food production, a common lament is that hardly anyone from the younger generation is going into farming any more.

It’s not an easy calling what with cheap products flooding in from outside the country, factory farm competition, environmental pressures, increasingly erratic weather, rising costs and fickle consumers.

But those who are in the business tend to be dedicated and persistent. Nevertheless, they could do with some help and encouragement.

Local and global changes are causing major shifts in farming methods and focus, making proper training for our current and future farmers more important than ever.

So now is not the time to have the region’s farming education institutions close down. But that’s what could happen if the University of Guelph’s announced closures of the agriculture programs at Kemptville and Alfred colleges are

allowed to go ahead.

Politicians need to show leadership and come up with measures to ensure the agricultural programs in Eastern Ontario survive and thrive. They need put their money (along with their food) where their mouths are.

There is no mistaking where public sentiment is on this issue. The closure announcements were met with alarm and dismay, not just in Kemptville and Alfred, but all over Eastern Ontario.

A rally on short notice in Kemptville on March 15, three days after the announcement, attracted more than 400 people, several from this area.

Renfrew County has quickly joined the County of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry in urging the provincial government lean on the University of Guelph to delay the closure for two years.

Putting the demise of the colleges on hold is important to the maintaining of continuity of courses, and research, at the institutions because there are already moves afoot to have the campuses continue under new leadership.

Ontario’s French-language community colleges, La Cité collégiale of Ottawa and Collège Boréal in Sudbury, have said they will consider taking over the school in Alfred. Algonquin and St. Lawrence colleges are looking into ways to keep Kemptville College open.

These are promising signs, but the public and the politicians need to keep up the pressure in a united effort until the new agreements to keep the campuses open are signed, sealed and delivered.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Natural gas is still much cheaper than oil and electricity To the editor: Opinion - I am writing to clarify some information in the March 27, 2014 editorial about energy prices.

Residential customers can choose to buy their natural gas from Enbridge Gas Distribution at the same price we pay in the market when we purchase gas for our customers.

Or, customers can purchase gas from a marketer for a fixed price over a fixed period of time.

Enbridge Gas Distribution’s rates are regulated by the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) and we adjust them every three months.

On March 12, we applied for an increase to rates as part of our regular quarterly application

The Renfrew Mercury 35 Opeongo Road, Renfrew, Ontario , c/o 80 Colonnade Rd. N. Unit 4, Nepean ON K2E 7L2 T: 613-432-3655 • F: 613-432-6689 Published weekly by:

to adjust rates.

We do not make a profit on the price of natural gas – customers pay what we pay. We earn an approved rate of return on the delivery of natural gas only.

If we pay less for the natural gas than forecast, customers receive a credit.

If we pay more than forecast, that cost is passed along to customers without mark up.

Customers have been benefiting from low natural gas prices in recent years.

If the new rate is approved, natural gas would still be less than half the cost of oil and electricity for a typical residential customer.

The rates we’ve applied for this quarter reflect higher prices for natural gas this winter.

8 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, April 3, 2014

About $250 of the $400 a year increase we’ve applied for (based on a customer who uses 3,064 cubic metres of natural gas a year) relates to the higher costs to buy natural gas that we incurred this past winter.

The other $150 is related to an increase in the forecast price of natural gas.

We will continue to review rates quarterly and if the prices we pay are lower than forecast, customers will get a credit.

If market forecasts decline, we will also apply for a reduction in rates.

It’s important to note that customers who use less natural gas will see a lower increase and lower bills.

Despite the strong value that natural gas

continues to deliver, we recognize that some customers struggle with energy bills.

We encourage customers to ask us about payment arrangements if they are having difficulty.

There are also programs offered to qualifying customers in financial need – the OEB’s Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP) provides emergency financial assistance of up to $500 and our Winter Weatherization Program offers free energy efficiency measures such as insulation to lower bills in the long-term.

Sincerely, Jamie LeBlanc Enbridge Gas Distribution

Brave warriors, home at last Safe home yee be now, rest, rest and relax.

Stay, and may yee never be, called no more.

H. Wm Tuck Goshen

Always sunny in Renfrew for some

Policy

Continued from page 5

“To some degree, that does allow us to manage our destiny, but they can take that away if we’re not conforming,” said Moreau.

Upon more questioning, after the county council meeting, Moreau said areas of concern in the new PPS include: • severance policy, • policies affecting the definition of potential settlement area,

We have seven people on the list. Four of them are firefighters. Just the salaries of those four gentlemen add up to nearly $460,000. That doesn’t include benefits, which are generous.

I’ve also noticed that Petawawa combines more than one administrative position.

They have, for instance, a chief administration officer/clerk, one person handling two jobs.

While some of the candidates for mayor and council and all the incumbents want to talk about economic development and other great-sounding things, few of them seem eager to speak about the need to control and yes, cut costs, so that we will have some resources to repair and improve our public infrastructure, which should be priority one, along with re-

ducing the town’s debt.

We need leadership, not platitudes and empty rhetoric.

If the new mayor and council continue down the same road we are on now we will soon end up with more people walking on “Sunshine” and we’ll all be poorer for it.

Think it can’t happen here?

I bet the residents of Deep River thought it wouldn’t happen there either.

They have 16 people on the list, all police officers and firefighters. At least they don’t overpay their administrators.

I urge everyone to Google sunshine list and take a good look at the public sector salary disclosure. It is very interesting reading.

• integration of the PPS within the Endangered Species Act and lack of clarity regarding how that integration will occur, • and policies for identifying such land features as forested lands and natural hazards (such as karsts).

“Unfortunately,” said Moreau, “I believe the new PPS will cost landowners significantly more money to have a severance because they’re going to need to undertake more studies.

“It’s restraining, it’s restrictive, given that in Renfrew County we have 50 per cent Crown Land, of which 70 per cent has tree cover.

“Now the PPS will impose restrictions on land owners to maintain forest cover on private land.”

He acknowledged there are some good changes to the Provincial Policy Statement, such as recreational uses of land, and resource-based land uses for forestry, mining and aggregate.

To the editor: Opinion - So the latest edition of the Sunshine List is out and it is fascinating reading.

This compilation of the names of people who make more than $100,000 annually and the publicly-funded places that they work in has some really thought-provoking information. I thought I would compare our group of fortunate souls with other municipalities in the area.

What I found was eye-opening, but not really surprising.

Arnprior has one person making more than 100K, Carleton Place three, Mississippi Mills, which includes the town of Almonte, one, Perth has three.

Petawawa, with a population of 16,000, nearly twice as many people as Renfrew, has three.

RENFREW FLEA MARKET

Failure of potato crop not the only cause of Irish famine millions of immigrants who came to Canada until World War 1.

More than 7500 people are buried there, most of them Irish who fell victim to typhus in 1847. Some say that number could be as high as 12,000.

Ireland’s history is that of a proud but oppressed nation. During the time of Cromwell and his invading armies the Irish were dispossessed, the monasteries sacked and the evicted people then became tenants working the land for their ‘planted’ owners.

Many of the landowners were absentee landlords, extracting rent from their tenants, and placing agents in positions of authority.

Produce from Ireland’s rich agricultural countryside was harvested, transported east and the larger amounts shipped to Britain for the absentee landlords and the British markets.

The Irish, many of them tenant farmers on what used to be their own land, were al-

lowed only to raise a small crop of potatoes, turnips and cabbage, their main diet. What little they had was shared with friends and neighbours.

Cargo ships hauling timbers from Canada to Britain were doing a booming business.

The dirty ships weren’t built to take human cargo. But that’s what they did.

On Telegraph Hill, the highest point of Grosse Ile, overlooking the wide river is a 60-foot high Celtic stone cross that was erected in 1909. It proclaims its message of grief. It bears three inscriptions. One inscription reads (in part): Children of the Gael died in their thousands on this island having fled from the laws of foreign tyrants and an artificial famine in the years 184748. That’s just some of the sad but fascinating history of the island.

To the editor: Opinion - The potato famine in Ireland wasn’t the only reason why thousands of Irish left Ireland for North America in the 1840’s. That’s what people have been led to believe.

Yes, there was a potato crop failure because of a potato blight and the Irish were starving. They were starving because of an artificial famine. To understand how the Irish people suffered you have to go to Grosse Ile, an island in the St. Lawrence River, 50 km east of Quebec City.

People were starving, but not because there was a shortage of food in Ireland.

Food was going elsewhere. It happens even today in countries with evil regimes.

Grosse Ile dominates the Isle-aux-Grues archipelago in the St. Lawrence River. From 1832 to 1937, this cold, windswept rocky island served as a quarantine station for the Port of Quebec, the main point of arrival for

Greater Madawaska Township – Ward One March 6th/2014 letter published Seems to be a issue.

To this date of March 27th 2014, we have not worked out a solution after a meeting.

Ministry of the Environment ( MOE) stated it’s a Municipal concern not a Ministry concern and does not fall under Provincial jurisdiction period.

Whoever stated “entry to waste site� was a MOE jurisdiction (concern) was not correct.

That trained personnel must be on site If I am not a trained and licensed person, then there is something terribly not correct in this scenario (picture).

The keys and entrance is a must in this business.

Mondays – Wednesdays- Fridays.

Perhaps the customers should petition the local constabulary or use internet or attend council.

After 35 years, I need to be trained.

Mary Cook’s Memories

BY MARY COOK

Fast Fact

Never-ending winter wears on Mother She had that look about her that gave me knots in the pit of my stomach. But that year, as winter seemed to go on forever, the snow hadn’t even begun to melt, and the Model T was still up on blocks in the drive shed, Mother seemed more melancholy than usual.

Lifestyle - My sister Audrey’s voice was stern that night. “I don’t know how often I have to tell you, Mary,� she said, wagging a finger under my nose. “It has nothing to do with you. Mother gets like that ever so often. You should be used to it by now.� The issue was Mother’s mood.

Renfrew detachment

News - A building that was undergoing renovations on Usborne St. in McNab-Braeside Township was entered and a quantity of copper pipes was stolen.

The thieves entered the building on the weekend of March 22-24. Const. George Mikhael is investigating.

A home on Toms Road in Admaston-Bromley Township was entered during the late evening of March 24.

The homeowner was home and, hearing a noise, got up to investigate. The male suspect was observed running away from the home.

Police officers attended and tracked the suspect to a nearby driveway where it appears he was picked up by a motorist.

Const. Kevin Rebertz is investigating.

IMPAIRED DRIVER

On Friday, March 21 at about 10 p.m., police received a driving complaint concern-

ing a pick-up truck driving erratically on Highway 17 near O’Brien Road.

Const. Ryan Besner located the vehicle and stopped the male driver.

The male was arrested for impaired driving and taken to the detachment for further breath tests.

A 43-year-old Horton man was charged with impaired driving, driving over 80 mgs, driving a motor vehicle with open alcohol, driving a motor vehicle with no currently validated permit, and driving a motor vehicle with no insurance.

He was released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew on April 30.

On Saturday, March 22 at about 2:14 a.m., Const. Kyle Mask was on patrol in Renfrew when he observed a speeding vehicle on Lisgar Avenue.

The driver was also weaving and the officer stopped the truck on Highway 132.

Following breath tests at the detachment, a 19-year-old man from Bonnechere Valley Township was charged with

impaired driving, driving over 80 mgs, speeding, driving a motor vehicle with open alcohol, and being a young driver with a BAC above zero.

He was released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew on April 30.

A passenger in the vehicle, a 23-year-old man also from Bonnechere Valley Township, was also charged for having open alcohol in other than a residence, licenced premise or private place.

Copper pipe stolen from renovation site

The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, April 3, 2014 13

Cook

Continued from page 12

And, of course, as usual, I thought I had done something to upset her.

Something terrible, like forgetting to close my eyes when saying our prayers at her knee at night.

Or not wiping the oilcloth on the kitchen table to her satisfaction after redding up after supper.

But Audrey said, no. I had done nothing to put her in her mood.

And once again she told me that this time of year was when Mother most missed her beloved New York.

“It happens every year. Don’t you remember? Just when winter is about over.”

And I would ask my sister to explain it all to me again.

And she said it was sort of like getting the stomach flu, only there was no medicine to make it better.

And to make matters worse, the last big snow storm prevented the Philadelphia Enquirer from arriving at Ritza’s Drug Store!

The paper was as thick as Eaton’s Catalogue, and once Mr. Ritza told Mother she was the only one in the entire county who got the Philadelphia Enquirer!

So Mother was even without that connection to the city she had left, to live

R0012620246

or the Family Herald and Weekly Star.

And I would sit at the long kitchen table, pretending to be drawing in a five cent scribbler, bought at the Rexall One Cent Sale, and kept for just such an evening pasttime. But my eyes would be on Mother.

And in the silence of the kitchen, the brothers quietly doing what amused them, and Audrey embroidering, I could actually hear Mother’s pencil, sliding over the page in her diary. It made the faintest of sounds, but on those evenings when Mother’s mind was a million miles away, I was so aware of every move she made at the end of the table.

It was at that time that she wrote furiously in her diaries.

She sat with her left arm circling her scribbler, and I would see her nod, as if confirming what she was writing, and I could tell when she came to the end of a sentence.

She would jab at the paper with the pencil, as if to say, “There now. That’s how I feel.”

I longed to see what she had written, but of course, no one was allowed near her scribblers which were kept in the upper shelf of the back-to-the-wall cupboard. That was a sacred place.

At other times I would fall asleep to

in the backwoods of Renfrew County, on a farm with no running water, no electricity and miles from the nearest town.

It seemed to me that during the day, Mother was happier than she was at night this time of year.

And again, my much wiser and older sister Audrey said it was because her days were filled with washing and ironing, baking, and keeping the old log house in shipshop shape.

It was the evenings, when only the coal-oil lamp in the middle of the table lit the kitchen, and the wind howled outside, and the branches of the bare tree close to the house, scraped against the windows, that Mother fidgeted at one end of the table, often staring off into space.

She took to looking up to one corner of the kitchen ceiling, as if she were searching for something.

And then she would give her head a shake, and bend down to her diaries in front of her.

If Father was aware of the change in Mother, he said nothing.

He still dozed in the rocking chair by the cook stove, puffing on his pipe until he fell asleep, and the pipe landed on his chest leaving his mouth, or as often happened, slid to the floor, landing on the Ottawa Farm Journal,

the click-clack of the old treadle Singer sewing machine when Mother sewed after we had gone to bed.

It was a wonderful, soothing sound.

But now, the house was quiet.

The only sounds came from Father plugging more wood into the stove.

We would have said our prayers as usual.

And, as usual, Mother would put her hand on each head signalling it was time for us to say our own prayer and ask God for special favours.

And I would pray for the end of winter. I would pray that before long our evenings would return to happier times.

When joy would come from Mother playing the harmonica, as Audrey and I leafed through Eaton’s catalogue.

When the days were longer, the snow had left the foundation of the house, and Mother would once again return from wherever she was on those dark and gloomy nights at the end of winter.

Even in the bird world, true love never did run smoothly

CHICKADEE AND A DOWNY WOODPECKER

Joyce Allan saw an altercation

JIM FERGUSON Scene from the Hawk’s Eye between a chickadee and a downy woodpecker.

Joyce said it was not serious but the two birds did seem to have a problem getting along.

This time of year when the winter flocks of chickadees, downy woodpeckers, white and red-breasted nuthatches and brown creepers break up and spread out to claim nesting territories the friendship they knew throughout the winter falls apart.

In the winter flocks, it is the alpha male chickadee that leads the way.

He knows the feeding territory best, where to find food and shelter and where predators are most likely to hide out.

The male downy woodpecker

could have been challenging the chickadee’s right to be the alpha bird and an altercation broke out.

HEATED BIRD BATH

Dr. Earle and Bonnie Potvin decided to add a heated bird bath to their winter feeding program and Bonnie says it was a very good decision.

Water is at a premium in areas where extreme cold freezes all standing water especially during a winter like the one we have just experienced. The birds came to use the Potvin bath every day and there were more birds in their yard than in previous winters.

Heated bird baths have a few issues that have to be monitored, such as freezing and breaking the bath.

Bonnie says they had very little trouble with the bath itself and will certainly continue to keep it filled with water both summer and winter.

We know several people that have bird baths and would not be without them.

NO GEESE

Mary Turcotte says that as of last Thursday she does not have any geese in their creek, a situation that has not occurred since she began encouraging the geese to nest on their property over 20 years ago.

The very cold weather caused the creek to freeze over, open only where there are rapids and unless the creek opens the birds may go somewhere else to nest. Time will tell.

The Turcottes have several feeders and have attracted four pair of purple finches, many goldfinches, a pair of cardinals, and lots of chickadees and blue jays.

A SINGLE SNOW GOOSE

Frank Bennett saw a single snow goose fly across Highway 417 towards the Ottawa River late last

week. Frank said it was not unusual to see a snow goose but only one was a bit different.

Flocks of from 200 to 500 birds are not uncommon during the spring migration. We have to see them during a very narrow window when they are migrating to the Tundra.

RAVENS NEST

Murray Reid found a raven’s nest with six eggs in it.

The nest was situated on the platform high up in the end of a hay barn.

Murray says he was surprised to see the size of the branches used by the birds: a yard long and an inch in diameter (1 m by 2 cm).

He also said that there was a noisy uproar when he approached the nest.

Lifestyle - Carol McCuaig sent us this email of a not so smooth attempt at mate selection.

Hi, Ila and Jim I have just seen an interesting little display at my feeder. A blue jay was attempting to pass a sunflower seed to a prospective mate who did not want to accept. It kept jabbing at the other bird’s beak. After a few minutes of this the second bird flew to a high perch, squawking loudly in what was apparently bird speak for “no means no.” As Shakespeare pointed out, the course of true love never did run smoothly. The other explanation is that the bird receiving the seed could have been a male. Blue jays and chickadees are so very much alike that special displays known only to the birds are needed to tell the sexes apart. Spats break out when a male presents a seed to another male.

Relay for Life breakfast Friday at RCI Courtney Stafford and Kauri Dahl Raider Review

Lifestyle - On Friday, April 4 Renfrew Collegiate Institute will be hosting their annual Pancake Breakfast to kick off Relay for Life 2014.

The community is invited to come out to the breakfast from 7 to 8:30 a.m. in the RCI cafeteria.

For $5 you will receive pancakes, sausages, and tea, coffee or juice. Children under the age of five are free.

RCIS and RCI students can buy in at the office for $5 for the pancake breakfast which will be served to them later that morning.

Team registration kits will be available at the breakfast along with information about this year’s Relay for Life.

Following the breakfast, an awareness assembly will be held in RCI’s Grant gym from approximately 8:30 to 9:45 a.m.

All community members are invited to attend this moving assembly.

To date, RCI has raised more than $630,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society. This past spring RCI was named the top fundraising school out of all of the high schools and universities in Canada.

This year’s goal is to raise another $90,000 during the full slate of events surrounding and including our Relay for Life.

The 11th Annual Bonnie Kerr Cure for Cancer Carnival will be held Friday, May 2, a Tag Day and Bake Sale will take place on Saturday, May 3 as part of our Community Awareness Day, and the eighth annual Relay for Life in memory of Hillary Afelskie will be held from 7 p.m. on Friday, May 23 to 7 a.m. on Saturday, May 24.

Lifestyle - The schedule of events happening at SJHS never seems to quiet down!

The athletics committee at St. Joe’s not only manages school teams, games and sporting events, but they also plan numerous charity events throughout the year.

Back in the fall, the committee organized Baskets for the Bank, a students-versus-staff basketball game to raise money for the Renfrew food bank.

Tomorrow, SJHS is once again hosting a charity basketball tournament, Hoops for Heart.

Teams of 4 or 5 players registered to play three on three games after raising money through pledge forms. The proceeds from this tournament will be donated to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Next Wednesday, 40 SJHS students have been invited to National We Day, held at the Canadian Tire Centre in Kanata. We Day is an educational event, partnered with organizations such as Free the Children and Me to We, with a goal to shift the focus from ‘me’ to ‘we’. We are so excited to have a delegation for this event!

Academically, St. Joe’s has also been quite busy. Last week, Grade 10 students wrote the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test, a graduation requirement. As well, last Thursday evening, Parent-teacher interviews took place in the gymnasium.

The workload has seemingly increased as teachers collect marks for the upcoming midterm report. The report cards will be given out Friday, April 18. As always, up-to-date information about current events at St. Joseph’s can be found atsjchsrenfrew. wordpress.com

OLF students help to build a school, brick by brick Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School

Lifestyle - Small ‘change’ can make a big difference.

Students at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School are donating their spare coins to raise money for a Brick by Brick campaign.

Through a non-profit organization called Free the Children, Fatima students are helping to build a school for children in a remote village in Africa.

At $20 a brick, they have already raised OUR LADY OF FATIMA CATHOLIC SCHOOL Madison Welsh, Grace Pugliese, Jayden O’Brien, and Samantha Belanger. Missing from enough money for seven bricks! A group of students from Mrs. Bissett’s Grade 4/5 class were the photo are Hannah Visutski and Samantha Perry. really inspired by the spokesperson from Free

the Children who visited the school.

They started a Me to We committee at the school and gave up their afternoon recesses to make posters, count donations, and plan fund raisers. When asked what made you start this initiative, Hannah Visutski said, “It is hard to imagine a place where kids are forced to work instead of being able to go to school. I wanted to do something to help”.

The group has organized a bake sale to take place Sunday, April 6 at 10 a.m. in the basement of Our Lady of Fatima Church.

Please join us in this global citizenship initiative and enjoy some tasty treats from the sale at the same time!

Community - Renfrew OPP detachment members present $400, on behalf of Branch 10 North of the Ontario Provincial Police Association, to the Renfrew Special Olympics softball team. The money will help with expenses for their national championships in Vancouver this summer.

Funds raised May 3 at Renfrew No Frills and May 28 from the local portion of the OPP Torch Run will also contribute to the cause. From left, in the front row, are players Janice Lee, Mary-Ellen McNulty, Kevin Reid and Geraldine Prince, Const. Rich Shikatani and coach Frank Belanger; back row, Const. Amanda Carruthers, Const. Carlvin Burgins, players Ray Goodyear, Eldon Behm and Patrick Grist, and Special Const. Jason Verbruggen. At the 2010 Special Olympics softball nationals, Renfrew captured the silver medal.

These skaters all successfully took part in Renfrew County’s interclub figure skating championships March 23 in Eganville. From left, in the front row, are Allie Scott, Ella Tettemer, Sydney Box, Lainey McDonald, Payton Narezny, Hannah Pratt and Sydney Coté; second row, Mackenzie Nolan, Alexa Narezny, Abby Wright, Eleanor Spooner, Grace Reid, Lydia Spooner, Brooke Beauchamp, Elayna Meighen; and back row, Amber Nykyforak, Emily Belliveau, Sam Galbraith, Brynn Stafford and Meagan Vandersleen.

Rash of Renfrew Skating Club medals at interclub championships in Eganville Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Sports - The Renfrew Skating Club picked up a rash of medals at the Renfrew County interclub figure skating championships in Eganville.

Performances at the March 23 event included three gold medals for 10-year-old Brooke Beauchamp, who won in spiral solo, team elements and similar pairs.

One of the club’s three quadruple medallists in the interclub event, she also captured a silver medal in the group event. “I love performing,” said Beauchamp.

The 10-year-old, who attends Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School, said she liked the similar-pairs showing because she and partner Mackenzie Nolan spent so much time working together.

The 11-year-old Nolan, who attends Queen Elizabeth Public School, felt

similarly “because I had a lot of fun doing it with a partner.”

Nolan, another of the club’s three quadruple medallists, also captured a silver medal in the group event, a bronze in team spiral along with Meagan Vandersleen, Lydia Spooner and Amber Nykyforak, and a gold in elements.

The other quadruple medallist was Grace Reid, with silver medals in shadow skills and shadow pairs and bronze in solo spiral and team spiral.

Hannah Pratt and Payton Narezny also won gold, in elements, and took silver in the group number. Other winners in the group number were Allie Scott, Ella Tettemer, Elayna Meighen, Sydney Coté, Sydney Box and Lainey McDonald.

McDonald was also third in elements, while Scott, Tettemer, Meighen, Coté and Box were also among the silver medallists in elements.

In the back row, from left, are Jeremy Van Grunsven (Odessa), Sam Alexander (Carp), Luke Hansen (Renfrew), coaches Shawn Clarke and Jay Knox; middle row, Louise Stonham (Arnprior), Wesley Matthews (Calabogie), Carson Lefebvre (Calabogie); and front row, Lucas Zohr (Golden Lake), Noah Matthews (Calabogie) and Wyatt Campbell-Brunke (Renfrew).

Racers sweep podium at U10 and U12 provincials Anne Lefebvre Calabogie Ski Racing Club

Sports - Calabogie Ski Racing Club’s smallest competitors concluded their season in triumph. Some of the U10s and U12s travelled to Huntsville’s Hidden Valley Ski Club for the inaugural U10/U12 provincial championships March 22-23. Ski racers attended from across northern and southern Ontario. Calabogie’s alpine athletes dominated the competition, with every single athlete landing in the top 10.

Wyatt Campbell-Brunke (Renfrew), Noah Matthews (Calabogie), and Louise Stonham (Arnprior) ably represented the U10s. Wyatt was the winner of the panel slalom and third in the giant slalom, Noah collected silver in the GS, and Louise, skiing against bigger and older competitors, was seventh and eighth in her races.

The U12 contingent included Sam Alexander (Carp), Lucas Zohr (Golden Lake), Wesley Matthews (Calabogie), Luke Hansen (Renfrew), Carson Lefebvre (Calabogie) and Jeremy Van Grunsven (Odessa).

After a good first day in which Sam, Lucas, Luke and Jeremy all placed in the top 10 in GS, with Wesley and Carson each having a top-10 time on one run, the boys ripped up the panel slalom course.

It was a complete podium sweep for Calabogie – Sam in first, Lucas in second, Wes in third, Luke in fourth, and Carson in sixth. Jeremy also had one run that was a top-five run.

These talented racers certainly put Calabogie on the map, and wrapped up the season with a bang!

Calabogie Peaks was the site for the U16 Ontario alpine provincials March 12-15. This prestigious event brought together the best racers from all over Ontario.

To compete in provincials, the ath-

letes must first qualify within their regional division. Racers who finish in the top 20 in two races may then move on to CanAms, which gather the top 20 athletes from each province and some American states.

Calabogie Ski Racing Club was honoured to have been chosen to host this important occasion. A shout out must go to the club’s crew of dedicated volunteers, without whom the race could not have happened.

Spectators enjoyed watching these highly competitive, skilled skiers compete. There was no shortage of thrills and spills on the hill. It was a mini-Olympics!

CSRC’s representatives included Alex Duff (Pembroke), Connor Maclean (Manotick), Travis Reid (Kingston), Aylen Ferguson (Carp), Jenna Wissing (Kanata) and Grace Gaffney (Deep River).

They competed in super G, giant slalom, and slalom races and their hard work made Calabogie proud.

Alex Duff cracked had a 19th-place finish in the super G, and capped off his weekend with a seventh in slalom, which qualified him to attend the CanAms at Mont Tremblant March 20-23.

Connor Maclean finished two beautiful slalom runs on a course that many failed to complete, and found himself in 50th. Travis Reid skied to a respectable 58th in GS. Aylen Ferguson achieved her personal goals when she placed 21st in GS and 25th in slalom. Jenna Wissing placed 38th in the GS and Grace Gaffney was right behind in 40th. All told, it was an excellent experience for the U16s.

The U16s also competed at their regional championships March 8-9.

More personal bests were achieved as Aylen, Grace, and Jenna were sixth, 11th, and 12th in the slalom. Alex came fifth in the GS, and Travis and Connor skied to 13th and 21st.

The season will end with a dual slalom at Calabogie Peaks April 5.

And the Bantam Timberwolves got it.

Carter Bleeks beat Valley Storm goaltender Liam White with a shot along the ice 2:33 into sudden-death overtime at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre last Tuesday night.

The unassisted marker gave the Bantam Wolves a 2-1 win in the third-and-deciding game for the championship.

Major Midget Aces capture 2013-14 Ontario East MHL championship Terry Serviss Upper Ottawa Valley Aces

Sports - After finishing second behind the Gloucester Rangers in the 2013-14 regular season the Upper Ottawa Valley Major Midget AA Aces showed grit and determination as they advanced through three rounds of the Ontario East Minor Hockey League AA playoffs to capture the organization’s third league title.

The Aces started their quest for the title by

eliminating the Rideau-St. Lawrence Grads in the quarterfinals.

In the semifinals, the Aces faced the Cumberland Grads. Coaching, teamwork and determination, backed by superior netminding, saw the Aces eliminate the Grads in three straight games.

After the March Break and some muchneeded rest the Aces returned to the ice to face the Gloucester Rangers in the final. Perhaps suffering from some rink rust from their pro-

tracted break the Aces started slowly losing the first game 5-2, tying the second game 2-2 and losing the third game 2-1.

Down five points to one and facing elimination in game 4, the Aces dug deep and came back much more determined, hanging on for a 4-3 win. Game 5 would also go the Aces, 4-1, and then they closed off the series with a 10 victory on the strength of goaltender Dane Brumm’s shutout.

Curtis Foster scored what proved to be the

game’s only goal with 4:32 left in the second period, and Brumm stood tall in the third as he turned away a couple of would-be Gloucester marksmen on showdown situations on his hometown ice at Renfrew’s Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

Brumm and Gloucester counterpart Colin Murray both faced 28 shots in the deciding contest.

Sports - This was the week of champions as most leagues finished their curling year by playing final playoff games and crowning the winners.

Congratulations to the senior men’s winners of the Curly Wood trophy at 9-and-0, the team of Rob Warren, Peter Price, Ed Hanson and Rick McCallum, and to the runners up at 6-3, Andy Sklepowicz, Jim Harbord, Dave Anderson and Andy Beauregard.

On Monday night the team of Brian Yolkowskie, Gary Smith, Dave Eady and Larry Visneskie won the A championships and league honours by defeating the Ed Lepack quartet.

The Barry Griese foursome with Dwight Hayward, Karen Griese and Bernie Leclaire won over the Andy Sklepowicz crew to take the B title.

And taking C honours was the team of Yvonne Sklepowicz, Gail Keyes, Adam Connors, sparing for Laurie Millar, and Nancy Con-

Sheldon Stewart and Joan Eaton over the Yvonne Sklepowicz foursome.

A week-long playoff for the day men saw the team of Andy Sklepowicz, Alain Pauze, Andy Beauregard and Rick Lester win their games and cap it off with a key Sklepowicz hit-androll behind cover to win over Al Comba’s crew and claim the A side.

Comba then met B side survivors Rob Warren’s foursome with Peter Price, Mike McCormick and Cedric Wright in the B final with Warren booking a spot on championship Friday.

The morning game was all that was required to clinch the senior men’s championships and the Harold Eady Trophy as the Sklepowicz team made great shot after great shot, ending with a deciding four in the sixth end to have the Warren team shaking hands.

in a solid 6-1 triumph in game two March 25. But, one-goal triumphs in the odd-numbered games have given McGrimmon a 2-1 series lead.

Mike Newberry snapped a 4-4 deadlock with just 1:22 showing on the clock to lift McGrimmon to a 5-4 win in game three Thursday.

Wednesday night, the Yolkowskie Construction team took the skin’s title over Ed Lepack’s quartet.

The B honours went to Rob Warren, Don Armitage and Rory Mckay playing third, Gail Keyes and Willie Curran, who defeated the rink skipped by Cliff Valleau.

And taking the C title were Andy Sklepowicz, Brian Thiessen, Al Watson and Nancy Connors over the Yvonne Sklepowicz crew.

Thursday afternoon in the A championships, the Rob Warren-skipped team of Alan Pauze, Cedric Wright and Claudette Lockwood outcurled the Bob Barr team.

The B championship was played as a skills competition with Barb Westgarth coming out as the hotshot winner. Winning the C were Bill Bowles, Rory McKay,

GRAND ROUNDS RVH is caring for you— Who is caring for RVH?

RVH has always been like a second home to Bob McParland and although he just announced his plans to retire, the needs and future plans of the hospital are in the back of his mind as it embarks on the largest expansion in its history. This type of dedication is in his blood—McParland is a second-generation Director of Plant Operations, following in the footsteps of his father, Pete. “I started at the hospital in 1973 as a summer student cutting grass when I was 14 years old.�

He earned fourth class stationary engineer credentials and took over the maintenance department in 1982.

Since then, McParland is usually found within a 20-minute drive of the hospital, and is always available for a 3 a.m. emergency phone call.

Bob McParland overlooks the site of the new construction project that will begin this spring (top photo), and leads the RVH maintenance team (below).

McParland can recall every renovation and construction project at RVH over the past 35 years, from building the clinic at 500 Raglan in 1986 to the Life Safety upgrade with a new fire alarm system and fire doors in 1997 and the CT Scan addition in 2009.

But McParland’s commitment to RVH goes beyond the job details. Over the years he has tapped into the skills of the maintenance team for in-house renovations to save the hospital thousands of dollars.

Retiring now, he believes, is also in the hospital’s best interests. He wants to give his successor the opportunity to grow with the expansion project and the subsequent renovations. “It’s important that the new person be here to be a part of it from the beginning,� he notes. However, dedicated as always, McParland will stay on part-time as project lead until his replacement is found.

Sports - Members of the RUNfrew Run Club got together for a celebration following their final five-kilometre run headquartered at Valley Source for Sports.

It was the final day of operation for Source for Sports, as owner Larry Vice is retiring after about 32 years in the sports business.

The RUNfrew Run Club was quick to thank him for his years of support. “This is our last run from the store as it being Valley Source for Sports,� said runner Colleen Berry, who was also an employee at the store. “More importantly, I want to express to Larry our appreciation for allowing us to use this as our home, and providing us a place as our social outlet, merchandise that’s available to

Chad Davis then racked up three

goals in a row to nail down the 6-1 victory. Mark Valliquette was the lone McGrimmon shooter to solve CSM netminder Matthew Wolfgram.

Game four was played Tuesday night.

A fifth game, if necessary, is tonight (Thursday) at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. Game time is 8 p.m.

Working at the store also helped Berry to create the RUNfrew Run Club. “I just want to say thank-you very much, and especially to Colleen for everything that she’s done,� Vice said.

When Vice took over the store about three years ago, Berry was one of the first people he met. “Just working with Colleen has been a great experience, everything she has done for this store. It’s a lot of work, and yes, I put a lot of hours into it, but she does a lot of the work that I don’t have to do, which is fantastic. I really appreciate it. “Keep running, keep being fit, get out there,� Vice added to all members of the RUNfrew Run Club.

Fraser’s topples Coulonge in final Peter Clark

Sports - The Fort Coulonge Comets went into the Upper Ottawa Valley Bantam House Hockey League final having not lost a league or playoff game all year.

Now that total number of defeats has reached two.

For the second time in less than a week Fraser’s Clothes Shop skated out of the Fort Coulonge Arena with a 1-0

victory, only this time, they had the championship hardware with them. The March 26 win gave the Renfrew squad the title series in points 4-2.

Brandon Hanniman had the game’s only goal, on setups from Spencer Brydges and game-one goalgetter Brett Clouthier. Carter Atkins backstopped the win with his second shutout of the series.

Fraser’s had finished regular-season play in second

place, behind only Fort Coulonge in the 13-team loop.

After Fraser’s 1-0 win in the series curtain raiser March 21, the Comets answered with a 21 win on Renfrew ice March 23 to set the stage for last week’s dramatic third game.

Manager Donna Young called the tense final game, a nail-biter. “Our team has performed as a true team and worked hard all year,� she said.

Making spiritual connections in the land of the Nile steve.newman@metroland.com

single word Shan-ti. Suddenly we are in darkness. Our song, a living thing, resonates, moves in waves around the tomb. As we send this blessing into the universe, the darkness feels choreographed, part of the planning for this ritual. I wonder who found the switch, turned off the inner lights.

We move out from the tomb’s centre to a larger open space, where we pause to experience the quiet. I am standing close to the left wall, beside a luminous painting, a woman’s body, bluewinged, with the head of an ibex, like the deer who greeted me in my roadway the night before I left for Egypt. The wingspread reminds me of my Isis bracelet.

Suddenly I sense, I know, here in this ancient place, the presence of a great overarching, protective, loving being. A Sacred One. I know this with my entire self, and the knowing fills me with surprise and joy. I taste the Holy and I am crying.

Slowly, returning to awareness of the group ‌ Something wonderful is happening here. I don’t begin to understand it, nor do I feel, for once, any need to understand.

We emerge from the tomb.

The large group of Japanese tourists who had been waiting to enter has vanished. Samai is

looking rather shaken. He tells us that our singing made the tomb tremble and the Japanese ran off in terror.

Jean appears unsurprised by this. “These tombs were built for resonance. They were meant to be sung in.� Asked about the sudden darkness, Samai is puzzled. No one had turned off the lights.

And if that doesn’t capture the sense of spirituality she experienced in Egypt, this poem, in chapter 16, might: Egypt is where I learned about love.

Not a lost coin, forever sought in vain, Not a boon for which I begged, helpless, empty, Not a burden I placed on others who could not receive.

Rather, a gift, poured into me from Love Until, overflowing with joy, I poured it forth.

The primary theme of her first two books, also published

by Borealis Press in Ottawa, is also spirituality. A Place Called Morning looks at the connection between an Ontario teacher and her Aboriginal students. Planted in the Sky takes readers on a spiritual journey through the eyes of the innkeeper’s daughter at where Jesus was born.

Spring is coming & that brings FLOODING Called to Egypt on the Back of the Wind ‘s book signing is April 26 at the Arnprior Book Shop.

Lifestyle - She’s been writing since she was four, but now, as a senior citizen, Anne Kathleen McLaughlin is writing as well as ever.

Not only that, she’s using her prose or poetry to share her connection with spirituality in this universe. She shares these experiences from a 2008 trip to the land of the Nile in her newlypublished third book, Called to Egypt on the Back of the Wind.

The trip was taken with 70 like-minded people, including group leader Jean Houston of Oregon whom McLaughlin describes as a master teacher of culture, mythology and spirituality.

McLaughlin is a nun with the Grey Sisters of Pembroke who has lived the last seven years in Douglas where, in the forested shadows of the Bonnechere River, she wrote her latest book.

Born in New Brunswick, her family moved to Ontario when she was young, before she made her one and only career decision, to become a nun when only 17. “The god I was in love with (then) was a much smaller god than the sense of spirit and love in the universe that I have come

to know now ‌ but I would still be in love with something that is holy and profound,â€? she says. “Maybe I see a broader home for that presence of love, an expanded awareness of where that love can be found in the earth, in the universe, in the cosmos and within myself.â€? Being a nun, she says, has prepared and freed her to pursue her quest to “weave together a (description of) spirituality of our time.â€?

This sense of wonderment and connection to spirituality, and ancient cultures of Egypt a few thousand years before the birth of Jesus, may be best captured in chapter 11. There, one section describes the group’s visit to the Valley of the Kings: A marker near the open doorway identifies the tomb as belonging to Tausret, a littleknown Pharaoh Queen, a descendant of the great Ramses II. This tomb is spacious, welcoming, and as we move into the deeper room where the sarcophagus, long emptied of its occupant, rests, I have a sense of beauty, of colour in the wall paintings.

Jean gathers us into a circle around the empty coffin, invites us to send forth from this place a blessing of peace. As we stand here in the tomb’s heart, our voices lift in song, chanting the

No one knows the heartache, I try so hard to hide, Only God knows how many times, I’ve broken down and cried.
