Construction is coming: so be prepared.

The Downtown Renfrew Business Improvement Area (BIA) has installed 22 signs along Argyle Street South and Plaunt Street South to let people know how to access businesses on Raglan Street South and which have back or side doors.

The message is clear: businesses are open during the major reconstruction on Hwy. 60 in downtown Renfrew, which is set to start in mid-April. There will also be two crews working on the street near the bridge and at Patrick Avenue.

“We are excited for the future,” said Kaitlynd Topham, BIA office manager. “We are open for business. We have a number of events planned and we are trying to keep it as accessible as possible.”

Topham notes they have an open line of communication with the town/construction company and any businesses with concerns can contact her. There is some fear about the project but Topham stresses the street will not be completely closed.

“There is some anxiety but you have to look at the big picture of how incredible it will be,” said BIA executive member Mel Blimkie. “We are still open for business. If residents have questions how to access a business call Kaitlynd.”

The signs were produced locally by Theresa McDonald from TF Custom signs, who Topham says was a big help. She encourages everyone to check out the Downtown Renfrew Facebook for more events and updates.

The Town of Renfrew is also preparing for the extra parking needs. At its March 27 meeting, council approved temporary parking agreements with the Renfrew Curling Club and St. Tiffany Lepack/Metroland Francis Xavier Church so people can park there from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. starting April 1 and 2 respectively until the fall. The Downtown Renfrew BIA executive members Jean Hughes, Coun. Kate Windle, Mel town has also redesignated municipal parking lots as three- Blimkie, and office manager Kaitlynd Topham, centre, hold up the new signs to help hour restricted parking during the construction. direct shoppers during the downtown construction project.

Competitors registration is between 7 and 10 a.m. and gates open to the public at 9 a.m. on both days.

Council to vote on sale of post office building Nominations

needed for annual awards

Canada Post operations will remain at 249 Raglan St. South TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com

A Renfrew landmark could be sold at a special council meeting on April 3.

Council had declared 249 Raglan St. South, Renfrew’s post office, surplus a year ago and has been very specific as to what type of buyer councillors wanted.

A bylaw that council will consider Tuesday authorizes the sale of the building to Rob Thompson Hotels Ltd. This would be the third time the company works on projects that see historical buildings turned into boutique hotels.

“With a heritage building, we take all the best parts from it, the stone and brick, expose it, restore it as best we can and mix it with the modern,” said Thompson on March 29. “It is a fusion of heritage and modern.”

His favourite part of the building is the clock tower.

“We will 100 per cent keep the feel of it.

I think the clock is the best part of it, that is why we are considering the building,” said Thompson. “It has an interesting combination of a structural product of stone and brick.”

His goal would be to have eight to nine suites in the upper level of the post office building.

“The hotel would only encompass the top floors,” said Thompson. “There is no inten-

The company has recently finished a hotel in Kemptville and is currently working on a second in Brockville. Thompson has received a lot of positive feedback.

“I promise the people of Renfrew they will not be disappointed, it is a signature

“They will be really happy with it.”

He is really looking forward to being part of the community.

The price tag of the sale has not yet been disclosed.

The single category harbouring the most employees earning over $100,000 in Renfrew county is the school boards.

In total, 130 workers made it to the 2017 Ontario Public Sector Salaries Disclosure report, colloquially called the sunshine list following the Mike Harris government’s attempt to bring transparency to tax spending.

Eighty-one administrators and teachers at Renfrew County District School Board led by Gayle Bishop with almost $157,000. Forty-nine members of Renfrew County Catholic School Board made the list, beginning with Jaimie Perry at $157,000.

The school boards would also employ far more workers than other public sectors in the region.

Thirty-four workers at the County of Renfrew made the 2017 sunshine list collecting a six-figure salary. They are led by Chief Administrative Officer Jim Hutton $207,000, followed

by Bruce Beakley $157,000, Paul Moreau $157,000, and Shelley Sheedy $153,000.

Council’s numbers are: Reeve Peter Emon

Glenn Arthur $100,000.

The Township of McNab/Braeside had one: Lindsey Lee $111,000. The chief administrative officers at all Ontario municipalities would likely make the sunshine list.

No one with a Renfrew connection made the Ontario Power Generation’s list.

Truck and tractor pull in July Council passed a noise bylaw exemption extending until 7 p.m. on July 14 for the Renfrew Agricultural Society to host a truck and tractor pull at the Renfrew Armouries.

There was some concern expressed that the event will be held on the same day as the annual bluegrass festival, which is this year being run by the town and held at Ma-Te-Way Park.

Clerk Kim Bulmer explained the event is held on a circuit with only set dates available.

Anniversary of fatal fire underscores importance of smoke alarms: chief SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com

It’s a day Renfrew fire Chief Guy Longtin will never forget.

Aug. 16, 1993 at 4:03 a.m., firefighters were called to a home on Ross Street in Renfrew.

Unattended cooking was the cause of a fire that killed six children between the ages of two and 12.

The home was under renovation and the smoke alarms had been disconnected and were found in a drawer.

In an emotional plea to council and the public March 27, Chief Longtin urged everyone to ensure they have working smoke alarms in their homes.

“This year, unfortunately, marks the 25th anniversary of a fire that we had – I always have a hard time with this,” said a clearly moved Longtin.

“We lost six kids. We don’t want to lose any more.”

The incident is top of mind during annual fire prevention campaigns.

The fire department will once again be going door to door in the Town of Renfrew to check homes are equipped with working smoke alarms on every level, which is required by law.

“With that in mind what we’re going to do this year is we’re going to be visiting homes,” said the chief.

“We’re going to try to hit every home in the Town of Renfrew. We

Sherry Haaima/Metroland

Renfrew fire Chief Guy Longtin speaks to Renfrew council March 27 on the importance of having working smoke alarms. may not do it in a year, it may take us two years, three years, but we will visit.”

There is a new law in place, explained Longtin.

“If you don’t have one, the fine is $235,” he said.

“We’re not going to lay charges if we get everyone to comply. We don’t want to hand out fines, we want everyone to be safe.”

If residents don’t have working smoke alarms, the fire department will provide one on the spot.

Individuals can purchase them for a small fee of $5.25 if they are able.

If you live in an apartment, it is the landlord’s responsibility to ensure you have a working smoke alarm, said Longtin.

He welcomes tenants to contact the

department if they run into any issues.

If residents are not at home, firefighters will leave hanging door knockers and people can call the department to arrange a return visit.

Coun. Kate Windle thanked Longtin for his presentation and inquired whether firefighters require permission to enter homes.

“People can refuse us entry, if they want,” said Longtin. “If they do we can obtain a warrant to go in and look around…if we feel there is a danger to young lives.”

Windle noted the ‘go flameless’ campaign, which discourages candles.

“We have so many wonderful opportunities with all sorts of twinkle lights for romantic settings for people if that’s what they’re looking for,” she said.

Coun. Tom Sidney commended the Renfrew Fire Department on the initiative.

“Being the Renfrew police dispatcher that day 25 years ago, I empathize and relate,” he said. “We want to make sure people are safe. I think you’re doing a very good proactive effort.”

Carbon monoxide detectors are required if you have any fuel burning appliances – natural gas, oil, wood stoves, gas range, etc.

These are also available for purchase from the department.

April is Cancer Awareness Month and it also marks the start of the annual Relay for Life events in Renfrew.

Students at Renfrew Collegiate Institute (RCI) organize the numerous fundraisers in April and May. RCI has raised $900,000 over the last 11 years and is the top Relay for Life school in all of Canada.

This year’s co-chairs Makenna Moran and Sydney Smith recently attended a Relay U in Ottawa and are both excited about new ideas.

The main event will take place on May 25 at Ma-TeWay Activity Centre with the opening ceremony at 6 p.m.

New this year - the event will be held behind the building at the football track.

“I feel it’s a good location so people can follow the track,” said Smith. “In the middle will be where all the events will take place.”

“It’s on the grass and there will be more space for people to spread out,” added Moran.

Following the opening ceremony there will be a Survivor Victory Lap and the Luminary Ceremony will be at 10 p.m.

“There are a lot of survivors from the community and I think it is important to help them and others in the community,” said Moran. “It’s fun, for a good cause and everyone can participate.”

The community is encouraged to register a team by visiting: www.rcirelay4life.ca and are welcomed to come out the day of to support the event.

“It brings the community together to help battle cancer,” said Smith.

“We hope to have a real festival feel where people can come and learn about cancer,” added Moran. “We want anyone to go and experience the event.”

RCI will start its fundraising campaign with a Pancake Breakfast and Kickoff Assembly on Friday, April 13.

The community pancake breakfast is open to the public from 7 to 8:30 a.m. for only $5. Takeout is available by calling or texting 613-570-1804.

“It’s about how fun relay is and getting involved,” said Moran of the assembly.

Cancer survivor Liz Brumm, a retired RCI teacher, will be sharing her story.

“She has a good connection with the students here,” added Smith.

Next up is the Community Awareness Day on Saturday, May 5 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Low Square, in conjunction with the Downtown BIA Great Downtown Garage Sale.

“Hopefully it will be popular, because last year it was rained out,” said Moran.

The day will feature a huge bake sale, car wash, barbecue, inflatable slides and an obstacle course.

The final lead-up event is the Bonnie Kerr Memorial Cure for Cancer Carnival on Friday, May 11 from 4 to 8 p.m. at Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

The 17th annual carnival will feature six inflatable games, a huge carnival, food, games, Little Ray’s at 7 p.m. and more. Proceeds from the day are split between Relay and I Choose RVH Campaign.

The Renfrew County Junior Farmers have been named the Club of the Year: from left in front are: Grady Dwyer, Emma Duncan, Johanna Dwyer, Meredith Mulligan and Tanner Bromley; and in back: Zach Lance, Miranda Mulligan, Jamie Schultz and Marissa Mulligan.

Renfrew County Junior Farmers named the best in Ontario At the annual Junior Farmers’ Association of Ontario’s March conference March 24-25 in Belleville, the Renfrew Country Junior Farmers were surprised and ecstatic to be named the 2017 Club of the Year for all of Ontario.

This marked the first time this title has ever been awarded to Renfrew County. Some of the outstanding highlights from the past year that factored into the win included celebrating over 100 years of junior farmers in Renfrew County with a hugely successful banquet in January, hosting the provincial event Autumn Profile in October with huge amounts of community support, organizing a bottle drive that raised over $1,200 for the Cobden Food Bank, and consis-

tently having large member participation in provincial events throughout the year.

“The Renfrew County Junior Farmers would like to thank everyone who supported us throughout 2017 and helped to make it as successful as it was.

“We could not have achieved everything we did without the amazing support we received from our family, alumni, and the community.

We hope to carry this success through the rest of 2018 and continue to give back to the community through donations, club projects and volunteering,” said a press release.

Members can be from anywhere in Renfrew County as long as they are 15-29 years old.

The advertising deadline for the

Hay honoured

Renfrew crop farmer Maynard van der Galien was the only Renfrew County farmer who had hay exhibits at the prestige Hay Show at the recent Ottawa Valley Farm Show, in Russell from March 13 to 15.

Van der Galien’s entries placed in the top three for awards, winning a first for legume (clover hay), a second for grass, a third for second cut alfalfa and a third for mixed legume and grass. The hay is judged against the best hay in Eastern Ontario counties and displayed at the Ottawa Valley Farm Show. Van der Galien has exhibited hay in Ottawa for 40 years.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Hats off to business Local businesses and industries are the backbone of our towns.

We shop, work and live amongst these varied and accomplished establishments. And we’re lucky to have them.

Our stores and companies have marked some pretty special achievements lately. Renfrew’s Bishop Water Technologies was highlighted at the recent GLOBE Water Forum in Vancouver. (See page 10 for details.)

The Prior celebrated 25 years of serving Arnprior and community at a gala attended by more than 300.

There’s continued success for Pillar5 in Arnprior with a number of workers slated to be hired.

And there is some pretty amazing support for local business as well.

Enterprise Renfrew County’s Starter Company Plus helped a Renfrew man open up a new main street furniture shop. (See page 12).

Maintaining a successful small business is certainly not easy. Arnpri-

or’s businesses had to adjust and improvise throughout their downtown reconstruction the past two years.

And Renfrew is gearing up for its own major main street reconstruction, which is beginning this spring.

For both towns, an opportunity to recognize some of these amazing businesses and the people behind them is on the horizon.

The Renfrew and Area Chamber of Commerce is looking for nominations from the community for their annual awards, which take place May 31. The deadline to nominate deserving businesses and industries, as well as individuals and groups, is April 21. (See page 2 for details.)

The Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce along with the Town of Arnprior, will recognize its business stars at the community awards April 5.

Cheers to all our local businesses and industries, award winners or not.

Keep up the great work.

Musings from the McDougall Mill Museum KEVIN MCSHEFFREY McDougall Mill Museum

The McDougall Mill Museum may have been closed up for the winter, but the board members have been hard at work preparing for this year’s season. There are a number of new displays and projects which have the board very excited.

One of the first projects is the installation of Renfrew’s Cold War era air raid siren. With the help of Dave Lemkay, the Industrial Commission and Marshall’s Welding and Construction, the siren will be restored to its original condition, mounted on the original structure, and set up outside the museum in O’Brien Park. If all goes well, you will be able to enjoy its ear-splitting sound once again.

The second project will be the display of a recently discovered and significant First World War collection. The Roy Airth Collection was

T: 613-432-3655 1-800-884-9195 Published weekly by:

Among the items at the McDougall Mill Museum is the so called ‘dead man’s penny’ sent to every family of a soldier killed in action.

It came with a letter from the King at Buckingham Palace. donated to the museum last fall, and features the story of Roy Airth, the grandson of one of Renfrew’s first settlers.

The collection contains an astonishing assortment of medals, letters, postcards and military manuals that document Roy Airth’s time at war.

What was most poignant, was a letter handwritten to the family, by Roy’s commanding officer about his last days and final sacrifice at the Battle of the Somme.

Among other changes will be some structural improvements to the building, and a concerted effort to rotate some of the collections, since a reorganization of the attic has uncovered many long-hidden gems.

We also hope to feature displays of prominent historical families from the community. The museum board also hopes to increase its bank of volunteers. We are few in number, and there are many tasks where volunteers are needed: helping move artifacts, arranging exhibits, repairing or building display cabinets, textile repairs, routine cleaning and maintenance,

record keeping of collection, social media, garden/grounds keeping, and helping to supervise school class visits, to name a few.

For students looking for summer employment, the museum is currently advertising for positions. You can apply at renfrewmuseum.ca.

As in other years, the museum staff sets up educational and fun activities for children. School classes are most welcome, and the museum staff will be delighted to arrange activities or talk to students about the various collections. The museum is open from the May long weekend until Labour Day. The museum gratefully accepts items of historical interest related to Renfrew and area. If you haven’t seen the collection (three full floors), it’s worth a visit.

And it’s free! The museum is located next to the Swinging Bridge, at 65 Arthur Avenue. Plan to visit this summer. We hope to see you there soon.

Town should consider sprucing up caboose To the editor : As a concerned citizen and having great pride in our beautiful town, I wish to bring up a subject regarding the yellow caboose.

As the tourist information has just finished a beautiful building at Howard Haramis Park and Howard Haramis was the drive behind getting the caboose, I think it would be a great advancement for our town if the caboose could be painted up and refinished inside and out.

It could be such an addition to an already beautiful park and as it is the first thing you see driving into town, I think it would certainly make our town look so much more inviting.

Children are so interested in trains in general I think it would be a great attraction.

Just saying!

Pepi Roni is the victim and the suspects will break bread with the dinner guests as they all try to solve the mystery together.

The event is a fundraiser for the Horton recreation committee and is directed by local radio personality Chris Kyte.

“It is set in an Italian restaurant in New York, giving it that old world mobster feel,” said Kyte.

Cast members, along with Kyte, include: Debby Johnston, Mackie McLaren, Tiffany Lepack, Jamie Cybulski, Brittany Kingsbury, Ben Hudder and Richard Leavoy.

“I am working with a very talented and energetic cast,” said Kyte. “And I am very pleased that we have two new faces in our mystery this year.”

It should be a very entertaining show for all involved.

“A good chunk of what you see will be improvised so anything could happen,” said Kyte. “You won’t want to miss out.”

Tickets can be purchased through cast members and at the township office at 2253 Johnston Rd., 613-432-6271.

If you are looking to start your own business the next intake session for Starter Company Plus is Tuesday, April 17.

Conrad’s Hope Chest is located at 340 Raglan St. South. and Arnold decided to open his new business selling secondhand furniture after noticing a need in town.

“So I decided to open a furniture store with quality products at a reasonable price,” said Arnold, who first started selling items online.

He sells sofa sets, shelving units, hutches, cabinets and bed sets with new mattresses/box sets.

The first-time business owner had a small location inside another building in town but is excited to be on his own.

“I feel good,” said Arnold about opening his shop.

Conrad’s Hope Chest is open Sunday/Monday and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Thursday/Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

More information can be found on Facebook.

Conrad Arnold, left, of Conrad’s Hope Chest, received a $4,000 grant from Colleen Sadler with Enterprise Renfrew after enrolling in the Starter Company Plus for his new business located at 340 Raglan St. South.

Arnold enrolled in the Starter Company Plus and was successful in receiving a $4,000 grant to help get his business started. He also received business training, help writing his business plan, mentorship and more.

“It was a long process but it helped me out quite a bit,” said Arnold. “I’ve learned quite a bit about the process of running a business.”

Arnold says he would definitely recommend the Starter Company Plus

program.

“It helps entrepreneurs starting their first business,” said Arnold.

“They are people who care and want you to succeed. I could not have done it without Enterprise Renfrew

County.”

Colleen Sadler with Enterprise Renfrew beams with pride as she talks about Arnold’s progress.

“He certainly has come a long way since he started selling online,” said Sadler. “When Starter Company Plus launched it gave him the opportunity to expand from his online presence to a store front and it also helped him develop a formal business plan.”

Starter Company Plus is a Government of Ontario program delivered

by Enterprise Renfrew County, which was launched in January 2017 and will run until March 31, 2019. The next program information session for Starter Company Plus is on Tuesday, April 17. The main objective of the program is to provide training and mentorship for new start up businesses, expansion and those purchasing an existing business.

“If they are thinking about wanting to start a business, it shows them what is involved,” explained Sadler. “It definitely helps them form their business plan even if they don’t need the financing, it really helps plan it out.”

In 2017 there were 40 people in Renfrew County enrolled in the program and Arnold was one of two people who applied and received the grant money. For more information visit: http://www.enterpriserenfrewcounty. com/programs/starter-company-plus/.

Watersheds Canada grant to help improve Muskrat Lake Watershed On Wednesday evening, March 28, Watersheds Canada, the Muskrat Watershed Council and Algonquin College’s Waterfront Campus welcomed community members to attend an open house to learn how they can take part in the Muskrat Lake Watershed Rehabilitation Project. Laura Lapinskie, a representative of local MPP John Yakabuski and Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) Grant review team member, Ray Westgarth, were on hand to congratulate the recipients and learn more about the project.

“The quality of the Muskrat watershed has been an issue of concern for many years,” said John Yakabuski, MPP for Renfew-Nipissing-Pembroke. “I commend the Muskrat Watershed Council for their unwavering efforts to partner with all stakeholders in seeking long-term solutions. While it won’t be easy, I do believe that the combined efforts of all will result in a much-improved watershed and ecosystem.”

The Muskrat Lake Watershed Rehabilitation Project will improve water quality by working with landowners to restore land along the shorelines of creeks, streams, rivers and lakes using native trees and shrubs. By creating these vegetative buffers, toxins and excess nutrients will be absorbed and removed from water run-off before it reaches these waterways.

In addition to improved water quality, this grant will see to educate

the community on best practices for a healthy ecosystem. Karen Coulas, chairperson for the Muskrat Watershed Council, says, “This partnership is an opportunity to improve our watershed. We know the problems faced by our watershed are complex and there is no easy (or inexpensive) fix.

The Muskrat Watershed Council sees this collaborative opportunity with Watersheds Canada as one way of working toward better water quality for the long-term health of our community.”

This project and new partnership between Watersheds Canada, the Muskrat Watershed Council, and Algonquin College is committed to protecting the Muskrat Lake Watershed.

Watersheds Canada is a federally incorporated non-profit organization and registered Canadian charity. We are committed to providing programs to communities across the country that work to engage and help shoreline owners enhance and protect the health of lakes and rivers: www.watersheds.ca.

An agency of the Government of Ontario, the OTF is one of Canada’s largest granting foundations. With a budget of over $136 million, OTF awards grants to some 1,000 projects every year to build healthy and vibrant Ontario communities: www.otf. ca.

County moves ahead on trail At the March 28 meeting Renfrew county council passed the following resolution: “County Council has received a legal opinion regarding the development of the Algonquin Trail.

The opinion confirms that the County of Renfrew has the authority to develop the Algonquin Trail as a multi-use trail.”

Chair of the Algonquin Trail Advisory Committee (ATAC), Coun.

Bob Sweet said: “This resolution comes as a result of a legal challenge put forward by the United Townships of Head, Clara & Maria regarding the use of the Algonquin Trail. The ATAC, through County Council, sought a legal opinion on the matter.

Council has decided to proceed with the multi-use aspect of the trail, and will proceed with the development of the Trail Management Plan that is well under way, and that has been circulated to all municipalities for comments, to govern the use of the trail. This decision aligns with County Council’s decision last June to officially designate the Algonquin Trail as a multi-use trail and is consistent with

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.

sudoku

l

is enrs a r B Tea

horoscopes

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!

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Communication between you and close friends this week is a breeze, Leo. You are able to tackle quite a number of subjects and may even plan a brief getaway trip.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you are tempted to color outside the lines and break all sorts of boundaries. But at this juncture in time, it may be better to play things a bit more moderately.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you may want to help solve a problem at work, but in this case, it might be best to let others draw their own conclusions. Take a step back.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, your week starts out on solid footing. All you need to do is maintain the status quo for the next few days and things will progress in the way that you expect.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, if you are serious about your goals, you have to hunker down this week and draw out a plan.

Seeing things in black and white will help you set your course.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, teamwork is the name of the game in the days ahead. If you learn to work with others, seemingly unsolvable problems can be solved rather easily.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Be proud of the way you are able to remain neutral in complex situations, Libra. This is why others will come to you when they need advice in the days ahead.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, although it may seem foolish at this point to scale back on your workload, doing so will enable you to focus more intently on specific details and do your best.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, your performance at work is a topic of discussion this week.

Others’ recognition of your hard work will provide a confidence boost.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, others may misinterpret your willingness to offer an opinion as intrusive. Reassure them that you are just offering help, not trying to pry.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, don’t be afraid to go off on your own this week. Sometimes you need some time to think for yourself to get into a zone.

Renfrew wrestlers Jolie Brisco, left, and Savana Pinsent had a successful trip to New York recently.

Saturday, March 24 the Renfrew Vipers Wrestling Club competed in the Montreal Open that saw wrestlers coming from as far away as Canastota and Nova Scotia. Competing in the Montreal Open Tournament was a great experience for our local team commented club head coach Harry Smith helping them see what work needs to be done before competing in the provincials in April and the Canada East in Charlottetown P.E.I. in May and Canadian Nationals in April.

It was also a great experience for our shadow coaches helping them prepare to take on the next level. Our team manager Trish Smith was a great help keeping records and letting coaches know well in advance of matches coming up. It was important for our wrestlers to understand that some, due to numbers in their weight class and division, had to compete against older youth. This would not happen in major tournaments but was a good experience and gave us much needed matches. A couple of new parents to wrestling were asked for their comments at the tournament and stated; “At the wrestling

Free family fun for everyone at ACC 150th Arena Spiel MARY CAMPBELL

Every curler aspires to compete on “arena” ice, just like in the Olympics. The Town of Arnprior is providing the opportunity for curling clubs throughout eastern Ontario. April 1921, the Nick Smith Centre will be hopping with the Arnprior Curling Club 150th Arena Spiel.

Arena ice is made with purified water that makes for a faster game with more draw (arc). Twenty-six teams (room for only six more) from as far away as Burlington and Aurora will be coming to Arnprior to enjoy this relatively rare experience as well as competing for winning purses. The action will include four rinks (eight teams) competing at any one time.

Spectators will not only enjoy some of the best curling in Ontario and the Ottawa Valley, the food, games, music and shopping in the Nostalgia Nook is non-stop Thursday and Friday evenings and all day Saturday/Sunday.

Even the beer garden runs from noon each day.

Come join in the excitement. This is the year to curl!

Brain Ivay, president of the Calabogie Racing Club described the event as a tremendous success. “Most of the athletes and their families had not been to Calabogie, or if they had, it was many years ago.

They were amazed at the variety of the terrain, the quantity of snow, and the high quality of conditions this late in the ski season.

Paul Murphy, Calabogie Peaks’ president, described the event as a major gain for Calabogie and Renfrew County.

“The Ontario Cup filled all the tourist facilities in Calabogie and neighboring areas for over a week – the community’s shops, restaurants and bars were hopping and the event was a huge contributor to our local economy”.

In recognition of the event’s significance, Murphy presented a Calabogie Peaks check for $1,500 the Calabogie Racing Club thanking Club president Ivay and all club volunteers for putting on a week of successful professional racing and showcasing Calabogie and everything it has to offer.

CARRIERS WANTED

We care currently looking for carriers who are interested in being an important part of their community by delivering the community newspaper and flyers! We currently have openings in YOUR neighbourhood.

Mother was so excited, she could hardly unpack her supplies fast enough. She had gone into Renfrew that Saturday to peddle her wares and do her shopping for those few items she couldn’t get at Briscoe’s General Store.

Out on the table was a piece of Dan River Cotton and some ric rac braid, two spools of thread, and something in a brown paper bag that was causing all the excitement. She opened the bag and took out what I had never seen before. My sister Audrey, older and much wiser than I was, knew exactly what Mother had bought. She was just as excited as Mother was and made a grab for what looked like a piece of piping with a clamp on the end of it.

“Can I try this tonight?” Audrey asked Mother who was still smiling from ear to ear. Mother assured Audrey she could indeed! I dared to ask them what the thing was, since I had never seen one before. Audrey said it was curling tongs, whatever that meant. I asked if it curled ribbon, and with that both Mother and Audrey laughed like I had just cracked the joke of all time! “It’s for your hair ... it curls your hair. No more tying our hair up in rags at night. Just imagine ... curling tongs!”

Every Saturday night, we had to have the rag treatment so that our hair would be nice for church on Sunday morning.

I didn’t want to show my ignorance further, but I had no idea how it would work.

It wasn’t something that had to be plugged into a wall socket, because we certainly didn’t have electricity. So I had no idea how it was going to curl my hair! Well, that night

I was to find out.

Supper was more hurried than usual, with Audrey so impatient with me that she grabbed the tea towel right out of my hand to finish drying the dishes.

MARY COOK The table was cleared, and wiped, and then the strangest thing happened. It wasn’t even dark, but Audrey lit the coal-oil lamp and set it at the end of the table! What a waste of coal oil, I thought … lighting a lamp and it still daylight.

Then the thing that was causing all the excitement was put right into the lampshade with the handle sticking out! I couldn’t believe it! Mother and Audrey sat looking at the lamp tapping their fingers on the red oilcloth.

Then Mother said she thought that would do it, and Audrey sat on a chair at the head of the table, and with a tea towel Mother took out the tongs from the lamp shade. She spit on the end of a finger and tapped the tongs, and I heard a sizzle.

Then she took a handful of Audrey’s hair, held it out straight from her head, and put it between the clamps on the iron and rolled it up tight. She held it there for a few minutes, and I was sure that whole bit of Audrey’s hair would fall to the floor. Mother pulled the tongs out from the rolled-up hair, and right before my eyes there was the most beautiful curl I had ever seen.

As soon as the tongs cooled, Mother would pop them back into the shade of the coal oil lamp, and curl another bit of my sister’s hair, with this newfangled gadget.

Well! I never! Imagine, no more sleeping on lumpy rolled up rags.

Mary Cook’s Memories

When Mother finished curling every last strand on Audrey’s head, my sister ran to the mirror hanging at the back door, and it was just like she had gotten a new pair of shoes. She kept patting her head, and smiling at the face looking back at her.

Of course, I was anxious that I get the same treatment, even though I had ringlets, I was sure I would look better with tight curls like Audrey’s. Mother agreed that my sister could try it on me.

I sat on a chair at the head of the table, and Audrey did exactly as Mother had done, even to spitting on the tongs to make sure they were hot enough. She grabbed a handful of hair and the next thing I knew the hot tongs touched my ear, and I flew across the kitchen floor like I had been stabbed!

I ran to the mirror at the back door, but I couldn’t see my ear which I was sure would never be the same again.

Nobody seemed to be the least bit concerned. Mother calmly got up, went to the cupboard, took down the baking soda, spit on the end of her finger, dipped it into the soda and then dabbed it on my ear.

Right then and there I made up my mind that Audrey and Mother could use the newfangled tongs if they wanted to. I’d stick to having my hair tied up with rags before I went to bed. Lumps or no lumps ... it was better than having my ears burned off.

Most would agree that realistic work, whether it is cast in metal, carved from stone or wood, or perhaps fashioned out of clay, is appealing because we can recognize the subject as well as the high degree of craft and patience that it took to arrive at that result.

The descriptive nature of sculpture, and in fact any artwork, can be understood in three ways. A representational work seeks to describe the world much as it is seen. The term abstract, so often misused in describing artwork, means that the subject of the portrayal is still recognizable but has been modified beyond looking photographically real through simplification or maybe distortion of size, shape, detail, colour etc. to express some aspect that the artist wishes to explore and communicate to us. Lastly, nonrepresentational art does not seek to portray Tiffany Lepack/Metroland anything in the outside world, but explores techThe Renfrew Art Guild recently welcomed local artist Jill Alexander to share her expertise nique or things like colour, shape or texture as painting with acrylic gels, she is pictured with some of her many colourful creations. For subjects in themselves. The newly popular acrylic pouring is an example of this. more information on the guild visit: www.renfrewartguild.com Traditionally, there are four separate families of methods for producing sculptures. The first, reduction, means removing parts of block of material using carving or chiseling or grinding and finding the finished form within as Michelangelo surmised. The second method is called

addition and describes the process of using a material which sticks together naturally like clay and building up the form that way. The third method is casting, which involves pouring a liquid material into a hollow design and letting it set, cool or dry into the shape and later removing the mould. Lastly, sculptures can be fashioned by attaching materials together using fastening methods like welding or nails etc. because the materials would not otherwise stay attached. This is known as construction.

We are pleased that we will have two interesting local sculptors at our next two monthly meetings. On Tuesday, April 10 popular sculptor Jack Stekelenburg will be giving an always fun presentation on his work and methods used to produce his delightful welded and forged metal sculptures. This will be a participatory talk and members as well as guests can participate in assembling a small piece of their own design.

Please register at our Facebook page.

In May we are pleased to have carver Nish Nabie present to show and discuss his appealing and stately wildlife carvings.

Don’t forget that registration for the single day 2018 Art in the Park, Saturday July 14, has begun, and we will be at the Home Show later in April. Come visit us on the web at www.renfrewartguild.com.

Meetings are at Trinity-St. Andrew’s, downstairs, from 7 to about 9 p.m. the second Tuesday of the month. Please use the Quarry Avenue entrance.

Renfrew Bridge Club sees a unicorn MIKE NAGRODSKI Renfrew Bridge Club

While the Renfrew Bridge Club has continued to welcome visitors from Almonte, Arnprior, Denbeigh, Pembroke and Quebec, the club has been abuzz over the amazing result scored by the Dynamic Duo from Burnstown, Sue and Peter Philips, on March 7.

While most players are very pleased with a result in the low to mid-60s, Sue and Peter were able to chalk up a score over 75 per cent! Many longtime players commented that they had never witnessed such an impressive game.

Each session’s “highlight of the week” follows: — On Feb. 28, Board no. 31 must have been tricky for all; for though it was played nine times in various contracts, the only pair to emerge with a positive result was Ronda Vaillancourt and Lila Paddock with a modest oneheart contract.

Well done, ladies.

— Though the March 7 session will be remembered principally for the Phillips’ outstanding result, the cards were otherwise very evenly distributed.

During the afternoon, only a single slam was attempted and even that brave effort finished down five. Ouch!

— March 14 saw Renfrew’s version of the recent MeToo trend.

Board no. 3 was played nine times, all in four-spade contracts (three successful, six failed).

Then Board no. 4, also played nine times, saw everyone in three no-trump contracts.

Though there were a wide variety of results, only Jocelyne Tetrault and Wayne Daze managed to emerge with 12 tricks.

— While the March 21 game featured the usual competitive play throughout all the tables, Board no. 28 must have been a particular challenge. Though it was played 12 times, only Arthur Ham and Phyllis Brennan were able to eke out a positive result with their two-spade contract.

Nicely done!

Congratulations to the North-South winners from: Feb 28: 1: Amanda Walley — Bruce Tennant 2: Bob Bouchard — Garry Irving 3: Carol Sulpher — David Sulpher March 7: 1: Amanda Walley — Bruce Tennant 2: Irene Churchill — Sheila Perras 3: Bob Bouchard — Sharon Phillips March 14: 1: Jocelyne Tetrault — Wayne Daze 2: Irene Churchill — Amanda Walley 3: William Buttle — Ron Anglin March 21: 1: Jocelyne Tetrault — Wayne Daze 2: Steve Gray — Sue Phillips 3: Arthur Ham — Phyllis Brennan Congratulations to the East — West winners from: Feb 28: 1: Rick Duncan — Leanne Cheliak 2: Ernie Berndt — Eric Brown 3: Yolande Baillon — Janet Osborne March 7: 1: Sue Phillips — Peter Phillips (75.5 per cent) 2: Rick Duncan — Leanne Cheliak 3: Sharon Sewter — Tom Sewter March 14: 1: Rick Duncan — Leanne Cheliak 2: Mona Brydges — Jeannie Yagminas 3: Carol Sulpher — David Sulpher March 21: 1: Rick Duncan — Leanne Cheliak 2: Ted Ambridge — Mike Nagrodski 3: Bruce Tennant — Judy Hill
