Miss Teen Ontario East Kathleen Barr of Douglas is crowned Miss Teen Ontario East 2015 before a crowd of 300 on Sunday evening at the Renfrew Recreation Centre. A farm girl who loves sports, outdoor activities and playing music, Barr impressed the judges during the gala event with her poise and candid personality. For more on the pageant, see pages 2 and 3.

It was said often during the gala event Sunday night to determine who will be crowned Miss Teen Ontario East 2015: all the girls are winners.

They left their comfort zone, met difficult challenges with grace and courage, gained greater confidence, and walked away with the satisfaction of having known they helped a worthy cause.

The young ladies are better; the Childhood Cancer Awareness organization is better because of the pageant. However, in the end a winner had to be chosen. And this year it is none other than Kathleen Barr. At Sunday night’s gala event at the Renfrew Recreation Centre, the farm girl from Barr Line near Douglas was the one on stage surrounded by 18 other beautiful and talented teens all vying to hug her under the glaring lights, the streamers coming down, the glittering crown on her head, her smile as bright as can be.

The crowd of some 300 were on their feet clapping wildly.

“I can’t believe it,” Barr kept saying. “I can’t believe it.”

The first runner-up is Payton Rochon from Cobden. Second runner -up is Kaitlin McMillan of Barry’s Bay. Barr does it all: she “lives for sports” with hockey and basketball her two favourites; she’s an outdoor enthusiast who hunts, fishes, boats, water skis, four-wheels, skis and more; she plays piano and taught herself guitar. The Grade 9 student at Opeongo High School said in the pageant program that family and friends mean everything to her.

“When I’m not spending my weekends playing hockey my favourite place to be is my hunt camp,” she said. “The best memories are always made there with the best people.”

Rochon is also a Grade 9 student at Opeongo. She, too, lives on a farm and plays guitar. Instead of hockey, Rochon is more into fashion and cos-

KATHLEEN BARR metology.

McMillan is a Grade 11 student at Madawaska Valley District High School. She promotes inclusiveness and equality within the student body, and also enjoys sports, music and the outdoors.

During the difficult impromptu question portion of the night, the winner and runner-up managed – in their answer – to praise all contestants that participated. When asked who she would want to be for a day, Barr said Miss Teen Ontario East.

When asked who is a role model for today’s youth, Rochon said her fellow delegates.

When McMillan was asked what the pageant process has taught her, she said to walk and talk with confidence in front of an audience and judges. “This experience will stay with me for the rest of my life,” McMillan said.

Other winners included Madawaska High’s Bridget Luckovitch who was the only contestant to take home two awards: the talent award, and the Lindsay Norton Memorial Award for having a positive attitude and respecting fellow delegates.

The friendship award went to Renfrew’s Cricket Guest. The evening wear award went to Daphne Rose of Renfrew. Rose got the best audience response when she answered the im-

much-deserved standing ovation for her many contributions to Renfrew and communities beyond.

Before crowning her successor, Miss Teen Eastern Ontario 2014 Theresa Paplinskie talked about the 40 events she attended, the inspiring

conversations she had with patients at CHEO, and other experiences over the last year that have left an indelible impression.

It promises to be a busy and rewarding year ahead for Kathleen Barr.

THE GREATER ARNPRIOR PRESENTS THE

Nicole Guthrie loses Greater Madawaska council seat Peter Clark

peter.clark@metroland.com

Nicole Guthrie’s term on Greater Madawaska council turned out to be a short one.

The township Ward 1 councillor has been removed from office four months into her first term.

Guthrie failed to file her campaign financial paperwork with CAO Allison Holtzhauer by the March 27, 2 p.m. deadline. As a result, her council seat is forfeited as per Section 80(2) of the Elections Act. Guthrie, a newcomer to Greater Madawaska, was one of four people running for two council positions in Ward 1 during the October 2014 municipal election.She and incumbent Brian Hunt were elected.

Guthrie garnered 672 votes, second in the Calabogie and area ward to Hunt’s 900. But she

was comfortably ahead of defeated candidates Don Mercer and JR Easton, who registered 493 and 392 votes.

The municipality has a couple of options.

They can hold a by-election, or appoint a councillor. They do not have to dip back into the pool to name Mercer or Easton as Guthrie’s successor, but the have that option. “We’ll be going over this at Tuesday’s council meeting (April 14 at 5:15 p.m.) to check what our next step is,� Mayor Glenda McKay said. “We need to discuss this with all of council.�

Mayor McKay added that CAO Holtzhauer is going through all the legal ramifications. “We are all new to something like this,� the mayor said. “We have to have somebody in place within 60 days of April 15.�

Mayor McKay certainly doesn’t want to wait that long. She noted that the completion of the 2015 budget is the main item on the horizon.

Electricity rates a concern in Admaston-Bromley Peter Clark

peter.clark@metroland.com

Ontario’s electricity rates are the highest of all the provinces in Canada, and the province’s longterm energy plan is for hydro rates to increase by more than 42 per cent over the next five years.

This doesn’t please those at the council table in Admaston-Bromley, and in a resolution passed April 2, the municipality called upon the provincial government to review its energy policies, and take immediate action to prevent these and any other rate increases from being implemented.

The province should investigate alternatives or opportunities to lower the high cost of electricity in Ontario, council added.

“It is essential that residents and businesses within our municipality have access to affordable hydro to thrive and prosper.” Councillor Kevin LeGris added as part of the resolution.

The resolution will be sent to Premier Kathleen Wynne, Minister of Energy Bob Chiarelli, MPP John Yakabuski and Association of Municipalities of Ontario.

Coun. Mike Quilty had a word for all of them.

“Someone has to get this runaway train called hydro, in check. And I don’t know who can do it. It appears nobody wants to touch it.

We’ve been ripped off so

long, “he said.

“I don’t know how Chiarelli, in his position as minister, can talk honesty in a camera about the wonderful things he’s doing for the people of Ontario, and he’s ripping money out of everybody’s pockets left, right and centre.

“It has to stop. I don’t know how it can be done, but it’s got to stop,” the councillor said. endorsement

Reids Lake Campground owner Tony Akkermans addressed council April 2, asking for a letter of support to apply for an Enabling Accessibility Fund grant for a construction project.

The project centres on the building of a new public facility at the campground.

The changes include accessibility for people with disabilities to washrooms, showers, office and a community social room.

Akkermans said the current office in a cabin is not wheelchair accessible and is too small, and the washrooms are on the side of a hill.

His plans also include signage, etc., to benefit visually impaired and Frenchspeaking people.

To apply for an Enabling Accessibility Fund grant, Akkermans must first get the support of the township.

Council passed a resolution to endorse his applica-

Town hall meeting to be held April 16 Staff

McNab-Braeside council has confirmed that Thursday, April 16 will be the date of its first town hall meeting.

The session will be held at 7 p.m. at McNab Public School.

The new council promised to hold regular town hall meetings to give the public an opportunity to speak out on municipal issues important to the township.

The focus of the first meeting hasn’t been finalized.

However, councilors have indicated they expect those attending to raise such subjects that have been discussed by council as the proposed Clay Bank RV park, the need for repairs to township buildings and the Energy East oil pipeline.

tion.

The Enabling Accessibility Fund through the federal government is open to municipalities, not-for-profit organizations and businesses.

Band donation

Council has a limited budget for donations, but will be contributing $200 to the Opeongo High School music program.

For the first time in the school’s history, both the Opeongo concert band and the Jazzcats have qualified to com-

pete at the national level.

The bands will be travelling to Toronto for the competition May 13 to 15. The cost is $416 for each performer.

With 19 band members and 21 Jazzcats, the total fee is $16,640. The students have paid a deposit of $6,000 and have fundraised $3,000 so far.

This leaves $7,640.

“I think this is a tremendous achievement for them to go to the nationals,” Mayor Michael Donohue said.

“This is a one-time thing.

They’ve never done this before.

It’s been 50 years (the school opened in 1969),” Coun. Kevin LeGris added.

“It’s our only high school.

This may be our only opportunity ever to support our high school in this type of venture.” grader purchase

The municipality recently purchased a 2011 grader and got about $12,600 for the old one, better than the $10,000 they had expected.

Admaston-Bromley’s co-op student has been busy, roads su-

perintendent Chris Kunopaski said.

“He’s doing a really good job for us. He’s keeping busy at the stuff we really wouldn’t have the time to get done.”

The township had four building permits in March for a total of $485,000. The largest was a dwelling for $400,000.

April is Daffodil Month for the Canadian Cancer Society, and as they do each year, Mayor Michael Donohue passed the daffodil pin box around for council members to take one and make their donation.

Waste pickup changes on the way in Horton Township Sherry Haaima sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Horton residents are going to see some changes in their garbage and recycling pickup schedules.

The township has entered into an agreement with Beaumen Waste Management Ltd. to be part of a pilot project the company is offering after the purchase of a new truck that permits both garbage and one stream of recycling to be collected at the same time.

Right now, there is weekly garbage pickup and recycling is collected every second week. Beginning May 1, residents will be asked to put out their garbage and one stream of recycling each week.

Week one will see garbage and ďŹ bre collected and on week two, garbage and co-mingled recycling will be picked up. The new contract

will begin May 1 and end Aug. 31, 2016.

The existing contract was up at the end of this month so the pilot project agreement is being viewed as an extension of that contract, said Horton clerk/CAO Mackie McLaren.

Council approved the project April 7, supporting a recommendation from the waste management committee, who recently met with Beaumen’s representatives Andrew Shouldice and Lisa Dugan to learn more about the pilot project. “It seemed like a win-win situation,� said Coun. Glen Campbell, chair of the waste management committee.

The new truck permits both garbage and one stream (either ďŹ bre or co-mingled) to be collected together because it has two separate compactors. Currently, a 4X4 vehicle drives each road twice – once for

Horton council accepts Toyota addition proposal Horton council has accepted a proposal from George Jackson Toyota to construct a body shop at their Garden of Eden Road business.

Owners Dave and Warren Larocque attended a recent planning committee meeting and council approved the request at the April 7 meeting.

They plan to construct a 75-by100 foot addition to the back of their existing building.

The one-floor addition will accommodate a body shop with factory spray booth, detail area with automated car wash for use on cars the business is servicing, technician lunch room, washroom, and equipment/tool room.

Dave Larocque told the committee they’d like to get started on construction as soon as frost is out of the ground.

COLA approved

Horton Council passed a 1.9 per cent cost of living allowance (COLA) for members of council, fire department staff and the community emergency management co-ordinator and alternate.

The change is effective Jan.

1, 2015.

“This was something we looked at during budget process,” said Coun. Jamey Larone.

“Consistently the last couple of years there’s been a two per cent increase.”

The 1.9 per cent increase is the actual COLA rate, he said.

“I’d like to set a precedent we follow the actual COLA rate,” said Larone.

New recreation committee member

Jen Fortin has replaced Val Miller on the Horton recreation committee. Fortin shadowed Miller and is now ready to assume the position.

“We’d like to thank Val Miller for the contribution she’s made to recreation in the township,” said Mayor Robert Kingsbury.

“A lot of the programs we have running came out of Val’s mind.”

He welcomed Fortin to the committee. “I understand Jen is doing a very good job in the short time she’s been in the position.”

Fire department donation

The Horton Firefighters’ Association has announced a

$3,000 donation to be put towards kitchen upgrades at the Horton Community Centre. A plaque will be created honouring the fire association’s ongoing support. The donation will be used to install cupboards and purchase supplies.

“We’d like to thank the Horton Fire Department for the many things they do down there at the community centre,” said Coun. Jamey Larone.

Garden of Eden Road request

Council will contact Renfrew County director of public works and engineering Steve Boland to request the county consider several things for the intersection of Bruce Street and Garden of Eden Road, including an amber flashing light, improved signage indicating a hidden intersection, brushing of site lines and reduction of the speed limit. proclamations

Council has proclaimed June 1-30 Seniors Month in the township. “I Mayor Robert Kingsbury do hereby proclaim June 1-30, 2015, Seniors Month in Horton Township and encourage all citizens to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments

of seniors,” said Kingsbury.

It’s the 31st year the province has recognized Seniors Month and this year’s theme is ‘Vibrant Seniors, Vibrant Communities.’

Council and staff will look into who in the township make good candidates for the 2015 Ontario Senior of the Year Award program.

The deadline for nominations is April 30.

Horton council has proclaimed April 19-25 National Victims of Crime Awareness Week. The week offers an opportunity to raise awareness about victim issues and the services and laws in place to help victims and their families.

Sign will soon be added to the Township of Horton roadside signs. Farmers’ market chair Agnes Walker was at the meeting .

Six farmers and gardeners from the township are part of the Renfrew Farmers Market, she explained.

MANDATORY SITE MEETING The Township of Whitewater Region invites tenders for paving/ rehabilitating the parking lot located at the rear of the Municipal Office, 44 Main Street, Cobden.

Of course, just as with many other chronic conditions, the moment one organ is chronically challenged or damaged, it will have an effect on other organs as well. This is how the vicious cycle often starts.

Our Heilkunst treatment will look at all facets of the diabetic condition, from prevention, hereditary challenges, life styles, nutritional habits to pain management. We will look at organ rejuvenation and will try to bring back a proper organ function of your pancreas. Our Live Blood Analysis will help assist any nutritional deficiencies, so you know where to put your money and efforts to rebuild your body, rather than shooting stars by taking a lot of supplements not knowing whether you actually need or benefit from them.

Diabetes is what I’d call more a challenging by-product of our industrial revolution era. In the majority of cases we can do a lot to try and prevent it - and by this I mean ourselves - not the Doctors. Lifestyle and of course eating habits are considered to be the main culprits in the prevention or the management of diabetes. Stress and emotional challenges should not be overlooked or discredited to be doing their influential part as well.

I helped many people manage their diabetes to prevent any medication as well as bringing individuals off the needle to manage their diabetes just with medication. Can you imagine how grateful they are to have this new peace of mind?

Tender form and specifications may be picked up at the Municipal Office, 44 Main Street, Cobden at the Mandatory Site Meeting on Monday May 4, 2015 at 10:00 a.m.

Bill Misener Public Works Manager

Diabetes, one of the most common condition in our current day and age, can often turn into a “silent killer” in advanced stages. During the initial stages we are having many uncomfortable symptoms associated with this condition which interfere in one way or another with our lives. However in advanced stages diabetes can contribute to prolonging our suffering and often healing journeys are incredibly challenged and can even be fatal.

I personally observed my grandfather suffer for many years from the ill effects of diabetes, where a wound wasn’t healing, which led to the amputation of a toe and later on even of his leg. Finally, as we see all too often, I saw, what used to be a strong vibrant man, my grandfather giving up and suffering to his final days.

World-class care for kidney patients

Renfrew Victoria Hospital has completed more than a physical expansion with the official opening of its new world-class nephrology facility. It has fulfilled a dream.

For the first time since its program began in 1993, every aspect of a kidney patient’s care— education, clinics, treatment—will be consolidated in the same area of the hospital.

The $12 million, 23,000-square-foot expansion was approved by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care in August 2012.

The hemodialysis treatment area has doubled in size from 3,000 to 6,000 square feet.

In 1993 the Ministry of Health and LongTerm Care designated RVH as a regional program, beginning with four stations and climbing to 14.

The number of treatment stations now jumps to 20, giving RVH the ability to provide 5,616 more treatments every year.

RVH is the main site for all nephrology services provided to 100,000 residents of Renfrew County.

And there is no doubt of the need. The program has grown from 1,000 treatments in 1993 to 16,600 in 2014.

The RVH program also provides a full range of chronic kidney disease and pre-dialysis clinics.

The expanded program is also adding to the

health of the local economy. From an employment perspective, the nephrology program supports 60 medical positions.

There are many kinds of kidney disease and many causes. In Renfrew County, the three main causes are high blood pressure, diabetes, and an unusually high rate (triple the provincial average) of polycystic kidney disease.

When someone reaches 15 per cent or less function of their kidneys, they must either go on life-saving dialysis treatment or have a kidney transplant, if eligible. There is no cure for chronic kidney disease.

Hemodialysis treatment involves four-hour treatments three days per week on an ongoing basis. The opening of the RVH nephrology program did much to improve patient quality of life, by reducing the onerous travel times once faced by people forced to go into Ottawa for treatment.

Reduced travel times are now complemented by a more comfortable and inclusive service, adding quality of life for patients.

Renfrew Victoria Hospital is certainly proving its commitment to keeping the ‘care’ in health care.

The hospital can be proud of its most recent expansion and is most deserving of the ongoing support shown by Renfrew and area residents.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Misinformation on Ontario sex education curriculum continues to run rampant You know that MP Cheryl Gallant and conservative Christians have distracted from real and pressing issues affecting this country when over a month-long period multiple letters are published in the Mercury hyping an imaginary threat to children not based on actual specifics of the proposed sex education curriculum.

Let us review the facts of the proposal. In Grade 1, children will be introduced to names of body parts and the concept of inappropriate touching. In Grade 2, they will be introduced to the concept of consent and the right to say “no� in threatening situations. In Grade 3, the concept of sexual orientation will be taught.

The concept of human reproduction is actually being delayed from Grade 3 to Grade 4, while the discussion of human sexual intercourse begins in Grade 5 as is already the case. Masturbation is defined in Grade 6, and oral-genital contact and anal intercourse are discussed in Grade 7, but neither of these is encouraged and in the latter case abstinence promotion is taught.

Why is this proposal alleged to be a Trojan Horse? For there to be a plausible conspiracy, the government would need to be hiding changes that suit its own self-interest (i.e. hiding the 31-year Canada-China FIPA from scrutiny that serves Stephen Harper’s interests in protecting oil

development from democracy).

But what self-interest would Premier Kathleen Wynne have in hiding what her government is proposing here? It seems that these conservative Christians imply what would look incredibly foolish to say explicitly, that as a homosexual she is cynically forcing a homosexual agenda on children! This was hinted at when PC leadership candidate Monte McNaughton suggested that “especially Kathleen Wynne� should not propose the curriculum, while the Campaign Life Coalition makes this allegation more explicitly. Furthermore, the teachers who would use their discretion to enforce the curriculum have no hidden agenda.

Not one of the letters we saw attacking this proposal admitted or denied that 4,000 heads of school parent councils were consulted on the curriculum drafting.

They might quarrel with the methodology of the consultation, but they make petty points when so little lawmaking ever gets this much public engagement.

It is disgusting that conservatives could attack the teaching of the concepts of consent and non-consent to children as an assault on “parental rights�.

They seemingly do not understand the rape culture that shames too many sexual assault victims against reporting crimes against themselves,

a culture that is only validated when people equate sexual knowledge with personal or family impurity.

When we hear sexual assault allegations against individuals from Bill Cosby to Jian Ghomeshi to even sitting MPs, obviously not every parent does teach their children that no means no.

Hopefully the “debate� on this curriculum ends here.

As Michael Coren has remarked in the National Post, the world might be a better place if conservative Christians got as worked up about issues of poverty and unjust war as they did about sex.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Everyone must do his or her best to prevent future tragedies This is in response to the two previous letters published by your paper

by Rae Ann Dagenais concerning banning smoking in public housing in Renfrew County Housing Apartments. She addressed this issue as a Human Rights one and we agree that it is a Human Rights Issue.

We are also tenants of 41 Vimy Boulevard, Renfrew where a fire happened rendering us homeless. We have also been put out of our homes.

We are also living in hotels, motels, temporary apartments and the homes of our relatives. We have also been greatly inconvenienced and deeply affected by this fire.

We have been told this fire happened to our knowledge because of careless smoking. We disagree. We are more inclined to believe that this fire was caused by human error and general carelessness of the tenant who resided in the apartment where the fire originated.

In fact, months prior to the fire on Jan. 7, 2015, there had been a small stove fire in the same residence, occupied by the same resident due to careless cooking.

A neighbour across his hall thankfully reacted quickly to extinguish it.

In that incident we are very fortunate that this fire did not escalate to the size of one that eventually put us out in the street on Jan. 7, 2015.

It should be acknowledged that there were numerous, legitimate and various complaints by many tenants made to Renfrew Housing about the conduct of the tenant who started the fire. We feared that something catastrophic was going to happen and we were right.

Now if we are going to ban smoking because of an incident of careless smoking, logic dictates that we should also ban cooking because of an incident of careless cooking. And this careless cooking incident was not a singular one. There was also a serious kitchen fire in the Renfrew County Hall Street Apartment building in Renfrew, Ontario in 2011. There have been instances of outright arson in both of these buildings. So if we are going take away tenants’ rights due to human error, please consider all incidents.

Renfrew County Housing has gone to great lengths to properly seal all smokers’ apartments in an effort to keep smoke from entering common areas in the building.

We agreed not to smoke in the common areas when we signed our rental leases upon taking residence.

Our apartments are the only places we are allowed to smoke and this has been respected by all smokers in our particular building.

Our doors have been sealed, in

addition to our light and plumbing fixtures and any other possible place believed that cigarette smoke would escape out into common areas.

Renfrew County Housing has been very diligent. However, there are units where hoarding has become an issue. Should a fire start in one of these units, it would create a huge fire. There also have been cases of deliberate arson. That being said it is not illegal for adults to smoke or purchase cigarettes.

It is also not illegal to drink or take prescription drugs prescribed to you.

These substances have also been the causes of much human error and the cause of more than a few fires within public housing. Not to mention the many deaths contributed every year due to the abuse of alcohol and drugs.

If we going to quote statistics of the deaths caused by smoking each year, please include all legal substances that have also caused innumerable deaths each year.

If we are going to ban smoking, then logically these additional legal substances also should be banned in all of public housing. No smoking, no drinking, and we should monitor people’s ingesting of prescription drugs to prevent any human error ever. We should inspect all units on a regular basis to check for instances of hoarding that create a huge fire hazard.

In a perfect world, we would be rid of all human error that results in fires, deaths and accidents. However, this is not possible. We suggest that credible complaints that are made by tenants to our landlords about careless and law-breaking tenants are taken seriously and properly investigated because the fact is we all legally, (keyword being WE, not a percentage of tenants) have a right to demand safety, and quiet and peaceful enjoyment of our rental properties.

We think that would be the action that would extremely improve all of our safety, all of the time. Renfrew County Housing smokers have all signed leases that entitle them to smoke within their rental units and not in the common areas of public housing.

We are within our rights to do so and will continue until we are unable and OUR human rights are violated by restricting something what our rental agreements have allowed us to do.

Our private residences are the only places where we are free to smoke.

Renfrew County seals our apartments to prevent the escape of cigarette smoke. We feel we should be able to continue to do so, and will fight for our right to do so as long as we can.

We want to address Rae Ann Dagenais’s complaint that the common areas and her private residence were

so smoke-filled that her daughter and grand-daughter could not visit her apartment at 41 Vimy Boulevard.

We disagree. She is entitled to her opinion and we respect her right to express it.

However, we disagree and think that it is an exaggeration and not really a very accurate statement about her experiences at the 41 Vimy Boulevard apartment building. It was surprising to read this comment because her daughter and granddaughter were there a lot of the time and there were many overnight visits.

This timeframe includes from the day she moved until the time of the

fire on Jan. 7, 2015. Her complaints to Renfrew County Housing were addressed and smoking tenants’ units were completely sealed again whether they needed it or not. Our hallways and common areas were not smoke filled and smoking tenants have tried to be very considerate of non-smokers.

We would like to thank you for the opportunity to respond to her letters and present facts and not uncompromising opinions.

We state that we will fight for our rights to smoke in our private and sealed residences. We respect nonsmokers and their rights and we do

not purposefully expose non-smoking tenants to second-hand smoke.

We are just asking for the mutual same respect we extend to them.

To make a blanket statement and suggest that all fires will cease to exist if we ban smoking is not reasonable. It is simply not possible to prevent all cases of human error that cause residential fires, but we do our best, smokers and non-smokers to prevent these tragedies.

Respectfully, Tenants of 41 Vimy Boulevard Karen Leclaire, Bonnie Campbell, Debbie Reid, Doug Coulas, Yvonne Bertrand, Sue Morrisette, Alex Taylor, Cindy Milotte

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, April 16, 2015 9

Use Hydro One sale proceeds to pay down debt: PCs The Progressive Conservative’s stand is that any money from the sale of Hydro One must be directed to the province’s electricity debt, says Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski.

Yakabuski, the party’s Energy Critic, notes that interim PC Leader said Jim Wilson made that clear last week in the Legislature.

The Electricity Act “prevents you from putting that money toward anything but that $27 billion debt. Are you going to obey the law or will you simply ignore it?” Wilson asked Premier Kathleen Wynne. Wilson noted that when he was energy minister the law was put in place to ensure taxpayers wouldn’t be left having to pay off Hydro’s debt. The debt of $27 billion translates into $5,400 per Ontario ratepayer that would have to be found if the law wasn’t followed.

“Is the cost of new infrastructure going to

become another expensive line item on people’s hydro bills?” Wilson demanded of the Premier.

In a news release, Yakabuski noted that Hydro One profits are currently used to pay down current stranded debt, but if any portion of Hydro One is sold, including Brampton Hydro One, those profits will be reduced and the revenue stream being used to pay down that debt will shrink.

Yakabuski charged that the government will have to raise hydro rates to replace the lost money.

“What new taxes will the ratepayers of Ontario see on their bills in order to pay off the debt that you seem to be ignoring?” Yakabuski demanded.

“When are you going to tell ratepayers that hydro bills are going to continue to skyrocket to pay down the electricity debt?”

Sasha (D090)

This beautiful girl is Sasha. Sasha is a very sweet and affectionate 1.5 year old Lab mix. She is still a young dog with a lot of energy and will need lots of exercise. Sasha is still not fully trained and has many puppy like behaviours, she needs a home that can offer her guidance and continue her basic obedience training. She is very responsive and has already learned not to jump on people or bark at passers-by. Sasha still engages in chewing behaviour if she doesn’t get enough exercise but is learning to chew on appropriate toys and accepts crating with minimal fuss. Sasha loves her foster sibling and is a very social girl so we feel she would do best in a home with another dog for company. Sasha is very playful and excitable so we believe she’d do better in a home with older children. If you would like more information on Sasha or our adoption program, please send us an email to: valleyanimalrescue@hotmail.com.

Adopt a Rescue and Save a Life

HOW?

In the matter of Section 34 of the Planning Act, the Township of McNab/Braeside hereby gives NOTICE OF THE FOLLOWING:

Ruby-throated hummingbird seen at Eganville Alan Verch sent us this email of a hummingbird in Eganville.

Hi, Jim and Ila. Just a note to let you know ,we saw our first humming bird yesterday, April 11, in the afternoon He was looking at the bright red berries on wreath on our front door. We were surprised because it has been very cold at night here in Eganville.

This is certainly an early arrival date for a hummingbird. Their usual arrival does not take place until the week of May 12. There are however, exceptions to every situation. The presence of an immature rufous hummingbird at Eganville on December 11, 2011 was a once in a lifetime event.

A male ruby-throated hummingbird was seen near Calabogie on April 2, in 2007.

Adult male hummers will arrive on the breeding grounds before the females and young of the previous summer in order to get the best territory.

They may stay if food is available but when they find conditions too severe they will leave and return a week or two later.

Water birds

Sandhill cranes

Don Ring saw a pair of sandhill cranes flying over the Whalen Road this past week. He said there was no mistaking the birds. Their large size, long neck out front and the dangling legs out back were very obvious. He also noted their direct flight and loud, hoarse honking calls.

They could be nesting anywhere in the area. A mound of dried reeds near water but not in it serves to raise their one to three chicks. After several years of proof that the birds nest we can now say that sandhill cranes are permanent nesters in our area.

Killdeer arrive

Janice Eady has been waiting for the arrival of the killdeer near their home in Horton. The birds have been nesting in the area for many, many years and return each year about the same time, the week of March 21 each year.

This spring because of the extended snow cover their arrival has been almost three weeks late. They have been heard and seen as early as the first week of March. Because killdeer migrate at night their calls can be heard after the sun sets and is often the first indication of their presence.

Woodcock

Cathy and Remick Campbell have noted the arrival of the first American woodcock on their property. There are patches of frost-free ground where the birds can find grubs and worms.

These conditions are much better than for the birds in the Maritime Provinces where the deep snow cover kept the birds from finding food and many have starved, some were found that were half their normal weight. The mating display of the male woodcock is amazing. At dusk he will give his preent call up to 70 times and then fly up into the air about 100 yards (97m) then circle, his wings giving a twittering sound, he then begins to descend giving a warbler-like song. When he reaches the ground he starts the process all over again until he attracts a female.

Gray partridge

Email from Sybil Ferguson.

This evening two gray partridge arrived on my front lawn. I’ve been watching and hoping that they would arrive earlier but that did not happen.

However, I’ m happy they survived the winter and are here now. The last sighting was earlier in the winter, and at that time there were seven, then six and at the last count there were five.

What happened to the rest I do not know but am suspicious that a fox got them.

Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, RR 5, Renfrew, Ont., K7V 3Z8. Phone 613432-2838 or email jameshf@xplornet.com

Ron and Brenda Golden saw two male buffleheads and a pair of hooded mergansers on the Bonnechere River in Admaston/Bromley. The breeding male birds of both species show striking black and white fan shaped patches on the head. The bufflehead is all white on the chest and flanks, the hooded shows two vertical black stripes on the chest.

The female bufflehead is pale gray with a white patch behind the eye and the female hooded looks like she is having a bad hair day and shows a shaggy reddish crest, red bill and bluish gray upperparts.

A male pileated woodpecker arrived on the Golden property and proceeded to hammer out his message of possession on a resonant tree branch.

John A. Burnett Ltd/Submitted

announcment R0023222944

Burnetts step aside after 53 years Peter Clark

peter.clark@metroland.com

A long-time Renfrew institution is changing ownership after more than 50 years.

John A. Burnett Ltd., located at 479 O’Brien Road since 1962, closed its doors at the end of its final day March 31.

Reis Equipment of Carp took over at the same Renfrew location April 1.

It ends a long and impressive career in the farm equipment business for John Burnett.

He grew up on a farm and a day

after finishing school in 1951, began working for International Harvester.

Burnett was in Belleville for a couple of years before being transferred to Renfrew.

“I was here a year, or so, and when they went to transfer me somewhere else, they (McArthur Farm Supply) made me an offer and I stayed.”

The epicentre of the business was in a summer kitchen and one-car garage at 224 Argyle Street, where Andy McArthur lived.

A couple of years later, they moved the business to its current location.

In 1962, John and wife Rita purchased McArthur Farm Supply.

Since then, the business has grown in leaps and bounds, as has the Town of Renfrew.

A plaque on the wall in Burnett’s office from the day states, ‘International Harvester is pleased to announce the appointment of a new farm equipment dealership for Renfrew and vicinity to be known as McArthur and Burnett Farm Supply.

A new place of operation is being established a half mile south of Renfrew on Highway 17.’

‘Half a mile south’ is now almost the centre of Renfrew.

Valley festival to hold musical summer camp New this year, the Ottawa Valley Music Festival will be sponsoring Camp Glissando, a summer music program for children aged 7 to 12.

The camp will be held at Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church in Renfrew and runs from the week of Aug. 17 to 21.

John and Rita Burnett have sold their business to Reis Equipment after 53 years. They encourage all their faithful customers to support the new owners.

The day camp will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will include singing, playing instruments, crafts and other musical activities.

The fun (and learning) will conclude Friday with a concert for family and friends.

Cost for the week is $220.

This includes all music,

snacks, supplies and a camp T-shirt.

No musical experience is necessary.

For more information or to register your child, contact Vicki Luhta at 613-623-1180 or contact her through her studio website www.dovesnestmusic.com.

From page 12

“I’m 53 years here, and 11 with International Harvester before that,” John said, “and I milked cows before that,” he added with a grin.

“Renfrew is a wonderful town to raise a family. Very nice,” Rita said. “We lived on Basswood. Everybody had young children and they just had a wonderful time. They could walk to the beach with a towel over their shoulders.”

John and Rita are the parents of five – Shirley-Ann Holley, John Burnett, MaryLiz Burnett, Margaret Burnett and Tom Burnett.

“All five of us have worked here at one time or another,” Mary-Liz said.

Family members brought up a few names of employees from present and the past.

“One of the first employees for dad was George Whalen,”

son John said. “He lived in Admaston. I think he started right out of high school.”

Another name in the company for years is Ambrose Burnett, John’s younger brother.

“Ambrose was the manager when we had the Pembroke location,” Mary-Liz recalled.

He started in 1973 and is retiring this year.

Several other long-term employees include Kent Storie in the shop, Wayne Ready in parts, Max Yaraskavitch, Bob Dagenais, Brian Reinert, Paul Boudreau and Kelly McNulty, Mary-Liz added.

Shirley-Ann Holley has been employed at her father’s business for 32 years.

John and Rita’s son-inlaw Bernard Holley has also worked with the company for a number of years, while many of the grandchildren have worked there part time.

“It’s going to be a big change, but I think we’re

ready for it,” John said of retirement.

“I know we’re ready for it,” Rita added.

“Something that is going on in the industry is that farm equipment corporations don’t want single dealers anymore,” Mary-Liz said.

“Not that we felt pressured to leave the industry, but that’s the way it’s going. It works perfectly. This is a great partnership, selling to Reises. This makes it a fourth dealership for them.”

The other three dealerships for Jeff and Julie Reis and Hugh Hodgins of Reis Equipment are in Carp, Winchester and St.-Isidore.

The Burnetts thank the many customers and co-workers who brought them happiness over 53 years and wishes Reis Equipment continued success.

John said he and Rita will be driving by and be keeping an eye on the place.

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, April 16, 2015 15

Walkers host Film Fest for Hospice Renfrew April 17-18 show on Saturday, April 18 at 2.30 p.m.

Prior to the Saturday screening, local El Camino walker, Mike Boire will share some of his experiences on that road, a few years ago.

Each film is $4 and all the profits will go directly to the hospice.

This Hikers’ Film Fest is also to draw attention to Hospice Renfrew’s May 3 fundraising hike. H4Hpledge forms will be available, along with information about KAPPS. KAPPS is also contributing to the Hike by sponsoring a “hyper-hike” which provides walkers an additional7 km walk in the middle of the usual 6 km route.

Those walking the regular H4H route will be able to break off at the Ma-Te-Way turn and walk an added loop out to the Fergus Lea/132gate and back.

This hyper-hike gives walkers and runners a bit more challenge, and hopefully a new taste for the K and P Trail, the usual site of KAPPS’ monthly walks.

H4H information, including pledge forms, and online pledge apps, can be found at http:// www.hospicerenfrew.ca/hike_for_hospice.php You can find out more about KAPPS and the Hyper-hike at http://www.padakun.com/39-2/

Ten little fingers...check.

Ten little toes...check. Narrowing of the aorta...check. Hypoplastic aortic arch...check. Atrium septal defect and bicuspid valve...check. The news that Leo was born with multiple heart problems was devastating but the skilled professionals at CHEO were able to fix each one.

Fixing Leo’s heart defects required a seven hour open heart surgery, a stay in CHEO’s neonatal intensive care unit, a stay in the pediatric intensive care unit post operatively, many sleepless nights for mom and dad and a difficult struggle by an amazing little boy. Today Leo is a happy and active three-year-old. It’s thanks to CHEO’s doctors and surgeons and the vital pieces of equipment needed to support his little body during surgery and recovery that Leo is now living a healthy life.

Every month, a hardy bunch of “pedestrians” has been criss-crossing the railbed trails of Renfrew.

The Kick and Push Pedestrian Society (KAPPS) has walked from Renfrew to Calabogie and Arnprior, just for the fun of it. That and post-walk brunch friendships. Now they are polishing their boots to bring some new steps to the annual Hike for Hospice (H4H).

First of all, they are holding a Hikers’ Film Fest at the Recreation Centre on Argyle Street over the weekend of April 17-18. The festival features two exceptional and inspirational films about people walking to deal with personal losses in their lives.

The first film is Wild, which tells the true story of Cheryl Strayed, a young woman whose life has spun out of control. She sets off along the Pacific Crest Trail to find some peace-ofmind. It’s a mega award-winner and up for some Oscars this year.

The second film is The Way which is set along the legendary El Camino in Northern Spain.

The lead character is a grieving father who follows in the steps of millions of pilgrims who have walked that trail for centuries.

Wild (2014, R) will be shown Saturday, April 17 at 6.30 p.m.; The Way (2010, PG-13) will

Master musician Frank Horvat to attend Rotary Music Festival Dorothy Garlough

Everyone agrees that Master Musicians are marvelous!

A Master Musician, Frank Horvat is giving all of Renfrew the opportunity to enjoy listening to such an illustrious musician, free of charge!

Frank is the piano adjudicator for the Renfrew Rotary Music Festival and has generously offered to give us a concert on April 21 at Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church. He is an awardwinning and critically acclaimed composer and pianist and has performed in classical recitals to playing in the Frank Horvat Band. Frank maintains an active schedule of performances of his own compositions and the works of others in Canada and abroad.

His portfolio of compositions consists of chamber, pop, electronic, music theatre, film and large ensemble works. Frank’s music has been featured on TV networks like the CBC and Bravo and a variety of radio stations internationally.

Please join Renfrew Rotary for a delightful evening starting at 7:30 p.m. Donations welcome to the Renfrew Rotary Music Festival!

The objectives of the Rotary Music Festival are to help the young students learn how to prepare for a performance at a finished level.

In addition, it will help them acquire self-con-

fidence by playing before an audience as well as receiving expert feedback from an unbiased adjudicator.

The broadening of their musical horizon and sporting instinct is yet another benefit and the entire community benefits with the elevation of the standard of music.

Rotary Renfrew will send one talented student in both the vocal and piano categories to the provincial competition, as a further aid to their progress.

Children with the highest marks win trophies or cash awards as donated by generous local sponsors. One substantial winning is in the form a $500 bursary; the Betty Anderson Bursary.

These monies will be awarded to the most promising piano student Grades 8 and up, to aid in the pursuit of their art. This generous Bursary is donated by Murray and Judy Borer honoring Judy’s mother, who was an accomplished musician who promoted the cultivation of the arts in young people.

Another major scholarship is the Karl Fick Memorial Scholarship. This is a $1,000 scholarship being awarded to a Vocal Student studying Grade 6 to A.R.C.T. The awards for the Renfrew Rotary Music Festival will be on Wednesday, April 29 at Trinity-St. Andrew United Church in Renfrew, beginning at 7 pm.

QEPS students off to Knoxville after winning Destination Imagination Queen Elizabeth Public School

Thirteen Queen Elizabeth Public School students are very excited to be travelling to Knoxville, Tennessee this May after qualifying for the Destination Imagination Global Finals March 28.

Destination Imagination is a program designed to foster innovation, creativity and collaboration in students, with a science, engineering, and arts focus.

Teams of students choose a central challenge to solve (example, building a structure, inventing a creature which performs actions, or designing an illusion) and write a skit to illustrate their solution.

The students are responsible for making their own props, sets and costumes without adult assistance. In addition, the students also complete Instant Challenges, during which they have about five minutes to work together to solve a problem they’ve never seen before.

Arnprior District High School hosted the season’s first DI tournament March 7. All four Queen Elizabeth teams emerged victorious.

The FDI, a Grade 6 team with Raj Bhattacharya, Mallory Delarge, Olivia Smart, Kenya Stevenson, Carson Hanson, Carson Lefebvre and Carson Moran placed first in their ‘Creature Feature’ challenge.

The DI Doers, another Grade 6 team with Cassidy Friske, Olivia Gravelle, Hannah Hubert, Malorey Lambert, Malcolm McKenna and Brandt Habel, also placed first in their ‘Feary Tales’ challenge. This is especially notable as both teams had to compete against Grade 7 and 8 teams.

The Grade 3/4/5 teams included The Magic Travellers (Derrick O’Grady, Kobi Stevenson, Hope Simons, Tal Stevenson, Carson Giroux Anne Lefebvre/Submitted and Luke Steele) and The Fearless From left, are front row, Carson Moran, Kenya Stevenson, Ashlynn McGregor, Emma Oatman, Mallory DeThree (Emma Oatman, Zoe McKech- large (with R2DI the robot), Zoe McKechnie, Raj Bhattacharya, Carson Hanson; middle row, Olivia Smart, nie, and Ashlynn McGregor).

Students get library content any time Every RCDSB student, no matter where they are in the Valley, can now access thousands of library items from anywhere, at any time, on any device.

At the end of February the RCDSB introduced a free reading service providing digital books through OverDrive. Students can browse a constantly growing collection of titles (2,500 at launch) in a variety of subjects, including classic and current fiction as well as popular nonfiction titles.

OverDrive can be accessed on the board’s website at rcdsb.lib.overdrive.com 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Titles can be borrowed using the same username and password assigned to all students by the RCDSB at the

The Magic Travellers competed in the structural ‘Lose to Win’ category and placed first, while The Fearless Three competed in the ‘Feary Tales’ challenge and placed second.

Teams placing first and second qualified for Destination Imagination Provincials in Toronto. All four QEPS teams travelled there to compete against other teams from across Ontario. The competition was tough and the judging was tougher, but despite some

beginning of the school year. Books can be read online or offline after downloading and enjoyed on a computer or mobile device. All major computers and devices are supported, including, but not limited to, the iPhone, iPad, Chromebook and Android phones and tablets.

For students without access to a mobile device, each school will have three to five iPads on hand to support the online library that students can check out, much like they would check out a library book, and access the catalogue.

The RCDSB has also implemented a new online cataloguing system called L4U. The RCDSB eBook collection is an extension of the physical libraries at schools throughout the board. See more at rcdsb.on.ca.

setbacks, all four teams pulled off their best performances to date.

The DI Doers wowed the audience with their ‘black box’ disappearing illusion, and had the judges in stitches with their humour.

The Fearless Three confidently pulled off a flawless performance.

The Magic Travellers and The FDI both smoothly used improv to handle technical difficulties.

In the end, The FDI came away with another first place finish, as well as a first in

the Instant Challenge portion, which qualified them for Global Finals.

The Magic Travellers placed second – and won their Instant Challenge as well - also qualifying them for Globals.

Now the work continues.

Both teams are planning on improving their performances for the trip to Tennessee, and the teams will also begin fundraising in earnest to pay for the trip.

renfrew victoria hospital/submitted

Medical director of the nephrology program Dr. Gary McFarlane gets ready to do the ribbon cutting honours at the grand opening of the Regional Nephrology Centre at Renfrew Nicole Delbrouck speaks at the opening.

Victoria Hospital. Officials, staff and clients helped mark the occasion with the ceremonial ribbon cutting.

World-class services on offer Continued from front

Designated as a regional program by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) in 1993, service began with four stations in Renfrew.

Living with chronic kidney disease is a lifelong challenge faced by thousands of Renfrew County residents. There are many kinds of kidney disease and many causes. The three main causes in Renfrew County are high blood pressure, diabetes, and an unusually high rate (triple the provincial average) of polycystic kidney disease.

When a patient reaches 15 per cent or less function of their kidneys, they must either go on life-saving dialysis treatment or have a kid-

ney transplant, if eligible. Treatment for the incurable disease involves four-hour sessions three days per week on an ongoing basis.

In August 2011, with the program at full capacity and an ever-increasing need for services, the MOHLTC announced approval for a $12 million expansion.

“The new 23,000-square-foot addition means we will be able to offer world class nephrology services,” say RVH officials. “For the first time since the program began in 1993, every aspect of a kidney patient’s care – education, clinics, treatment – will be consolidated in the same area of the hospital.”

Prior to the program’s beginning in Renfrew and the establishment of satellite locations in

Barry’s Bay (2001) and Pembroke (2006), patients drove over an hour one way to have a four-hour treatment three times each week.

The nephrology program grew from 1,000 treatments in 1993 to 16,600 in 2014, with 14 stations in Renfrew, and provides a full range of chronic kidney disease and pre-dialysis clinics.

A Home Peritoneal Dialysis Program was established in 2006.

Officials are thrilled with the new state-ofthe-art facility.

The hemodialysis treatment area has doubled in size from 3,000 to 6,000 square feet and the number of treatment stations increased from 14 to 20, giving RVH the ability to provide an additional 5,616 treatments annually.

Five isolation rooms will improve infection control.

New features will improve the patient and

family care experience, say officials.

Large windows will allow natural light and a view, more space will enhance patient privacy and accommodate visitors, and patients will appreciate the comfortable waiting rooms, new treatment chairs with heat and massage and central nursing stations.

The RVH nephrology program consists of two nephrologists, one general practitioner, one social worker, two dietitians, two hemodialysis technicians, five technical aides, 28 registered nurses, nine registered practical nurses and three medical secretaries.

The hospital works closely with the Champlain LHIN and Champlain LHIN Regional Renal Steering Committee, participates in Renal Administrative Leaders Network of Ontario (RALNO) and Ontario Renal Network (ORN) working groups and initiatives, and has links with The Ottawa Hospital Renal Program.

New centre bright, beautiful: dialysis patient Sherry Haaima

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

No one is more pleased to see the doors of the expanded Regional Nephrology Centre at Renfrew Victoria Hospital open than Ken McQuade.

McQuade was one of several patients who joined dignitaries and hospital officials to cut the ribbon on the new $12-million facility at a special event on Thursday, April 9 that drew a large crowd.

McQuade has been coming to RVH for the past five years for dialysis treatments.

He is thrilled with the new facility and was pleased to be at the official opening.

“This is great, it’s a beautiful spot.

You couldn’t ask for better,” said McQuade, a retired auto shop owner who lives in Admaston-Bromley Township. His dialysis consists of three trips to the centre each week for treatment that lasts four hours and 15 minutes each time. He’s there each morning at 7 a.m. and on dialysis days he goes home, has lunch and is tired out and usually naps.

The days after each treatment are the good days when he feels stronger and has more energy to spend time with his family and on hobbies that

include woodworking and boating.

“The next day I’m 100 per cent,” said McQuade.

The lifesaving dialysis that he gets so close to home means all the difference when it comes to enjoying his time with his wife Sharon and his children and grandchildren.

His kidney disease diagnosis meant big changes. “It’s quite a life change. Especially in your food and your diet,” he said.

McQuade is impressed with the expansion, which includes big windows and large rooms. “I love the brightness and the space and the new chairs,” he said.

Plenty of parking right at the entrance of the centre is another feature he appreciates.

RVH is the only small hospital in Ontario that operates a regional dialysis program.

At the grand opening, medical director of the nephrology program Dr. Nicole Delbrouck said RVH was considering a regional program years before the rest of the province began to focus on regionalization.

Completion of the project brought to mind the Burl Ives song The Little Engine that Could, said Delbrouck.

“The Renfrew hospital is the little engine that could in this scenario,”

28 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, April 16, 2015

she said.

“The other feature that is very important to emphasize is the will of this particular hospital to be hospitable to the needs of Renfrew county patients and in particular the renal population,” she said.

“The hospital undertook this program because the need was absolutely clear, we have the biggest county in Ontario, people were travelling huge distances,” said Delbrouck.

“I did have people in their 80s who were doing this.”

At one time and for some patients, chronic kidney disease was a death sentence for patients unwilling to put their families and themselves through the ordeal of waking up in the middle of the night to drive hours several times each week for needed dialysis.

“Those people who were given the choice often declined,” said Delbrouck, because they couldn’t drive to Ottawa, couldn’t afford the frequent travel and weren’t prepared to bankrupt themselves or family members.

“The last person I knew that made that choice was someone who had been referred to us from the Ottawa program,” she said. The man was on a waiting list for the limited number of local beds that were available at the time. “He died in the process of

McQuade is joined by nephrology nurses Linda Papineau, Joyce Mulvihill and Sheryl Dunphy. waiting for a bed to become available. And I swore that would never happen again, that was absolutely unacceptable.”

Three local family doctors trained to be able to facilitate the local program, the only ones in Ontario and possibly the country to do that, she said. “We still enjoy tremendous support from our family physicians.”

And from then on the engine

has gathered steam, culminating in Thursday’s opening.

RVH works closely with and officials thanked the Champlain LHIN and Champlain LHIN Regional Renal Steering Committee, the Renal Administrative Leaders Network of Ontario (RALNO) and Ontario Renal Network (ORN) working groups and initiatives, and has links with The Ottawa Hospital Renal Program.

Shaw Woods tour to kick off OVTA event of networking, marketing and celebrating The Ottawa Valley Tourist Association’s (OVTA) annual general meeting will be held Tuesday, April 28 at the Rankin Culture & Recreation Centre in North Algona Wilberforce Township. The conference will be held this October in partnership with Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization.

The afternoon event begins with a Meet & Greet and guided hike in Shaw Woods. The Meet & Greet runs from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. and is open to both OVTA members and non-members alike.

The hike will be guided by Grant Dobson, an avid trail builder, naturalist, local history buff, chair of Shaw Wood’s

Board of Directors and wildlife photographer.

“The Meet & Greet is an informal networking event,” explains Lauren McIllfaterick, OVTA Communications co-ordinator. “If you haven’t been to Shaw Woods yet, this is an opportunity you won’t want to miss this. Come out and network with fellow busi-

ness operators in this majestic old growth forest.”

Delegates will then gather at the Rankin Culture & Recreation Centre for the OVTA AGM, a member marketing session hosted in conjunction with Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO), and the presentation of the 2015 Ottawa valley

Tourism Awards.

“The session will help ensure the continued success of OHTO’s regional strategy and marketing efforts, which is to the benefit of all Ottawa Valley tourism operators. As an exciting bonus, the information gathered will also help inform the OVTA’s revised strategic plan,” says OVTA chair Chris

Hinsperger.

The people of Ontario now have another way to report a minor crime.

The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is reminding the public about their online reporting system as an alternative to having an officer attend a scene for a minor incident.

Citizen Self Reporting (CSR) has rolled out across the province and the OPP is proud to offer this simple and efficient new system as a means of reporting certain minor incidents and crimes.

The OPP’s Citizen Self Reporting is an easy to use internet reporting tool that can be accessed from a computer or mobile device and sent directly to the OPP anywhere, anytime.

In an effort to enhance our service delivery, this online reporting system will allow the public to report specific crimes such as lost property, stolen license plates, theft from vehicles, driving complaints, and property damage without an officer having to be dispatched to the scene, provided there are no suspects, injuries or the incident is not an emergency.

The use of this new system is completely optional. Police will still attend a call for service if desired.

To learn more, and to access Citizen Self Reporting online, go to opp.ca or call the OPP toll-free number 1-888-310-1122.

on and off the golf course.

The Highlands annual general meeting is set for Tuesday, April 28 at 6:30 p.m. in the clubhouse.

Another date to remember is Aprilfest on Saturday, April 25. It is the Highlands’ season-opening social event, also in the clubhouse.

The men’s opening night is Saturday, May 2 while the ladies open play on Thursday, May 7.

The men also have an interesting event coming up. The Highlands is setting up a home-and-home game with the Pakenham Highlands, and with the Renfrew Golf Club, men’s captain Larry Beaton said.

The club will also be hosting a couple of notable mixed events, women’s club captain Susan Veale added.

The Battle of the Sexes is Saturday, July 18, and before that, the Calabogie PGA Open in on Sunday, June 28.

Calabogie golfers select a pro player from the U.S. Open, and the pro’s score is added to the score of the local player.

Located at 981 Barryvale Rd. by the shores of Calabogie Lake, the Highlands pro shop can be reached at 613-752-2171 or proshop@calabogiehighlands.ca.

A sign that the long winter is finally over came last Saturday.

Calabogie Highlands was officially open for business.

“We’re opening up with carts and good conditions for the season,” founding partner Chris Fleming said April 8.

With expected good weather on the horizon, Fleming welcomes everyone out to get the season started.

“We have a great run of weather coming up, so we are taking tee times, and recommend people book early.”

CPGA golf pro Steve Hall took a number calls in the pro shop for opening day, and that trend is continuing into the first week.

“Word’s starting to get out there (that the Highlands is open),” Fleming said.

“People out there think it’s going to be soaking wet, (and) to wear rubbers. But we have a sandy soil here that drains very nicely. With our elevations here as well, the run-off went very well this year, and the fact that we are surrounded by a lake gives us a breeze to dry things up.

A number of changes have, or are in the process for Calabogie Highlands.

“We are striking forward on a

course layout redesign,” Fleming said.

“The primary thrust of this course of action is to allow for both front and back nine to begin at and return to the clubhouse for enhanced customer service opportunities and management. We can operate much more efficiently while improving turf quality. Reducing Calabogie to an 18-hole championship layout is the result of many years of thought and consideration. I believe this to be the perfect move for Calabogie to better serve our membership and guests for the next few decades.”

A new driving range facility will now be located adjacent to the pro shop and putting green, to greatly improve accessibility and convenience, Fleming added.

The clubhouse will continue to undergo enhancements as well as the grounds surrounding it.

“With these changes, we plan to develop a new vibrant retirementthemed community with the creation of incredible vista-view lots and quality housing options,” Fleming said.

“The introduction of these new development opportunities will benefit our Barryvale Hamlet community and its social potential. These strategies create huge potential for the four-season resort plan I’m pursuing.”

A number of important events are coming up on the golf calendar, both

Stittsville Rams.

Although the series went six games, Casselman always seemed in control.

They won previous encounters 7-3, 8-3 and 6-3.

Stittsville answered with a 6-3 triumph in game two, and 7-4 road win in game five last Friday night. The Rams topped the Renfrew Timberwolves to win the Valley Division title.

best score, Quinn placed seventh.

“I didn’t expect to do that well,” says Quinn, who entered the competition with a hip injury. “I’m so happy with how I did.”

The next morning Shteyngart, 9, took to the ice in the Star 5 Men U10 event. Performing a new program, the Killaloe Public School student had a great skate and achieved a personal best score which landed him in fourth place, less than a point away from a podium finish.

“I am a proud mom,” says Shteyngart’s mom Anna.

“David constantly challenged himself through the year, knowing he needed an axel and at least one clean double to go to provincials.

He worked hard both on and off the ice to get them. Plus he has the best coach; without Katie he couldn’t have achieved his goals.”

That same afternoon Dombroskie went on for warm-up in the Star 5 Women U13 event.

There was a lot of pressure on the 11-year-old as she went into the competition undefeated. The Cathedral Catholic School student skated her way onto the podium. She was thrilled with her silver medal finish with a score less than a point away from the top spot.

The Casselman Vikings have put up a successful defence of their Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League crown.

The Vikings made it back-to-back league titles in resounding fashion Sunday night. Casselman scored five goals in the second period and three more in the third en route to an 8-1 win over the

Most skaters only ever hear their names announced representing their skating club. However, three Valley skaters had the privilege of representing the Eastern Ontario Section for the first time in March.

During the Eastern Ontario StarSkate Invitational Championship in February Sheridan Dombroskie, David Shteyngart and Holly Quinn qualified for the Skate Ontario Championships in their respective categories.

A month later they competed at the provincial championships against the best skaters in Ontario, the largest section in Skate Canada. Each of the three wound up the top ranking skaters from Eastern Ontario in their events.

“It’s a proud moment when your hard work pays off and you earn the privilege of representing your skating section,” says the trio’s coach Katie Skerkowski. “It’s even more exciting when you’re the best from your section.”

The weekend started off Friday, March 13 with Quinn taking the ice in the Pre-Juvenile Women U11 event.

The 11-year-old Cobden District Public School student was in a field of 18, including three others from Eastern Ontario.

Bananas stop defending champs in ladies spring hoops season opener

Rob Warren

Ladies Spring Basketball

The defending champion Reunions got off to a slow start and dropped their first game 41-29 to the Bananas in the Ladies Spring Basketball League.

The Bananas hit three treys in the first half to open up a 20-9 lead at the break. The Reunions pulled to within two points (24-22) when continued long bomb attempts failed for the Bananas. However, they

found the mark again and pulled away. Two temporary substitutes for the Bananas, Jill Barr and Madison Verner, accounted for 31 points.

The Reunions weren’t threatened by Frances/Lemke Co-operators. They rode a 1710 half-time lead to a 38-32 final. Mae Donohue hit for 10 points.

Frances-Lemke Co-operators and KL Plumbing-Signature Styles remained deadlocked at 22 after 22 minutes of play. A mini 6-0 run by the

Co-operators was all that was needed. KLPSS never got closer than three points and came up short 34-31.

Janet Goulard and Raili Quathamer each scored 10 points for their respective teams.

Games in the six-team league are played in the Grant Gymnasium at Renfrew Collegiate on Monday and Wednesday evenings with opening tipoff at 6:45 p.m.

The 2015 champion will be crowned May 25.

Woodfine runs Rotterdam Marathon Opeongo High School graduate and former Wildcat Tristan Woodfine ran the Rotterdam Marathon Sunday, and turned in an impressive performance. Woodfine’s time of two hours 27 minutes and 55 seconds placed the Cobden runner in 41st overall. He and

fellow team members of the Speed River Club in Guelph had a successful day.

Woodfine was the fourth Canadian to cross the finish line. Reid Coolsaet of Hamilton was seventh with a Olympic qualifying time, but shy of Jerome Drayton’s Canadian

record.

On the ladies side, Krista Duchene, 38, who finished third in the Canadian half marathon championships last year despite breaking her femur, also placed third Sunday with a potential Olympic qualifying time of 2.29:37..

IT’S NATIONAL VOLUNTEER WEEK! On behalf of the girls in Ontario

alties from five minutes to three in the atom and novice house leagues. The reason behind this is to create more ice time for the kids at those two levels.

The Ottawa Valley Aces AA organization has proposed a minor atom A program. That was also to be voted on at the district meeting April 14.

Greer acknowledged the Renfrew Canadian Tire atom house team on their UOVHL championship. They were the only local team to win a league championship this year.

Greer told parents that registration fees for the 2015-16 season will not increase.

She added the early registration closes April 15.

“If you haven’t registered on the website, do so. You’ll save $20 a child by doing so, early,” Greer said.

“It doesn’t mean you’ll have to pay right away, but so long as we have you registered, you’ll

qualify for those savings.”

The RMHA used 850 hours of ice time over the past season, which is roughly about the same every year.

Eighteen officials in Renfrew’s system refereed minor hockey games this past season.

That included nine level-3s, five level-2s, and four level-1s.

They had an average of about 34 games available to them, referee-in-chief Paul Simard said in his report.

Three officials had 80-plus games.

Anyone interested in officiating or timekeeping next year is asked to apply on the website.

Renfrew’s future looks bright at the youngest level with 57 kids participating in this past year’s Initiation Program.

They made up four teams, two in A division and two in B. It was very rewarding, junior convenor Richard Daber said.

“Goals and assists are not near-

ly as important as the smiles and laughter,” he said.

Fundraising covenor Ann Stephens thanked everyone for their support in fundraising this past year.

They raised $21,000, which allows minor hockey to maintain and not raise its registration fees next year.

Funds were raised through raffle tickets, pepperoni sticks, a tag day held at six locations, and the ongoing sale of Nevada tickets at Irving’s Gas on Stewart Street.

The pepperoni sticks fundraiser at the Renfrew Fair was something new this year, and was successful enough to be considered again in the future, Stephens said.

There were also 77 people that paid the $70 to opt out of fundraising.

“Thanks to everybody for all of your hard work,” Stephens said.

Twenty-five people are needed to make up a quorum at the Renfrew Minor Hockey Association’s annual general meeting.

This year’s closing meeting for the 2014-15 hockey season drew 61 participants to the upstairs hall at the Ma-TeWay Activity Centre March 30, and none came with any complaints.

They rattled off the get-together in well under and hour and a half.

When executive nominations were closed, Derek Scheuneman had made the step up from vice president, and will be taking over the helm of the RMHA, taking the reins from soon-to-be past president Kim Greer.

Among highlights from the past season, 251 kids were a part of Renfrew minor hockey, up seven from a year ago. There were 300 who registered, but 16 quit and 33 moved on elsewhere, many to the Ottawa Valley Aces, registrar Bryan Schutt said.

Greer thanked the sponsors and executive for their support of minor hockey over the past year.

She said Fort Coulonge has been granted approval to ice competitive teams in the Upper Ottawa Valley Hockey League next year.

Twenty-two Coulonge kids did play on various teams through the Valley this past season.

A couple of things have to be voted on at the next District 5 meeting.

One is the possibility of reducing minor penalties from two minutes to one, and major pen-

It’s 7 a.m. on an icy Thursday morning before the long Easter weekend, but a last gasp of winter weather won’t slow down this group.

Ultimate Fitness owner Paul Vaillancourt is leading seven people through a series of lifts, squats, push-ups and more, encouraging them to be their very best.

Scapa Tape in Renfrew is sticking to a plan to improve employee fitness and performance in 2015, and 65 employees are reaping the benefits.

Scapa is offering a new workplace wellness program, in co-operation with Ultimate Fitness in Renfrew, under a contract that runs until September.

The Scapa employees have full membership access to Ultimate Fitness Gyms in both Renfrew and Arnprior.

Ultimate Fitness is also providing two coached workout sessions that are exclusive to Scapa.

According to Ultimate Fitness owners Paul Vaillancourt and Sarah Leighton, the Scapa exclusive group training sessions focus on three main fitness qualities.

1. Mobility. This component improves one’s ability to move and function as a healthy human. The goal is to restore lost ranges of motion and pos-

ture caused by long-term bad habits and daily activities.

The program will help the human body move and function the way it was designed to, and improve performance and reduce soreness and risk of injury.

2. Strength. “Strength is never a weakness,” says Leighton.

“Improved strength leads to easier daily task completion, reduced fatigue, and a stronger and more resilient worker-human. Improving strength leads to reduced risk of injury and makes life easier, plain and simple.”

3. Cardiovascular function and conditioning. The program aims to reduce blood pressure, improve stamina, reduce fatigue, reduce risk of heart disease and heart attack.

“The list of benefits for improved cardiovascular health is long and very well known,” says Leighton. “And our approach is not just the basic ‘walk 20 minutes’ every day.

“We train a broad range of energy systems so that sometimes you don’t even notice you’re doing cardio training.”

Vaillancourt says the main goal of the workplace wellness program is to promote health and wellness as a performance improvement for the company, so that they can reduce absenteeism due to sick leave, enjoy a reduction in disability/workers compensation claims, and improve employee retention.

GRAND ROUNDS Awaiting opening day â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have got a lot to be thankful for,â&#x20AC;? states hemodialysis patient Don Shean.

The opening of a state-of-the-art Nephrology Centre just a block away from his home is a monumental event for the patients and the community, he feels.

As a patient receiving life-saving dialyzing treatments for the past three years, Shean appreciates all of the special details that have been incorporated into the treatment area, including ample space for a visitor and window views in every direction.

Eager to take in a new view

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excited to test for himselfâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the new and improved treatment chairs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not one to ever sit still. It will be nice to have a massage for the four hours, if I want,â&#x20AC;? he smiles.

Shean sees all of the little â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;extrasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as something that will take a â&#x20AC;&#x153;great unit with great nursing staff â&#x20AC;? and make it stand above the crowd.

Everyone is looking forward to moving day, he reports.

Roger Remus flips through the television stations to catch up with the morning sports scores and await the last hour of his hemodialysis treatment.

The countdown is on. This is one of last times heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to be facing a large blank wall when he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t watching the screen.

The Glasgow Station resident has been a patient at RVH since November 2012 and like the others around him, Remus is really looking forward to moving into their new home away from home.

Having natural light flooding into the patient care areas as a feature of the new space is something he is looking forward to most about the move. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited,â&#x20AC;? he grins. Remus is one of the patients who regularly is seated at the back of the current unit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be so nice to look outside and see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on,â&#x20AC;? he concludes.

Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forgetfulness has entire family on the hunt for missing photos

MARY COOK

front lid, slamming it as she did so. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Very strange it is to me,â&#x20AC;? my mother said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How those pictures can be here one day and gone the next.â&#x20AC;? She was scraping the tea pot around on the stove.

Father suggested she may have been mistaken about where she left the pictures, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like the time you said you put your harmonica on the ice box, and we found it on the seat of the Model T,â&#x20AC;? he offered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those pictures were right there,â&#x20AC;? she said, and for emphasis she went over to the cupboard and gave the porcelain board another whack. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing more to do about them now,â&#x20AC;? she said with a big sigh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But tonight we all search again. I promised those pictures to Aunt Freda, and I will keep her letter over for one more day, but they better turn up this evening.â&#x20AC;? I wondered what would happen if they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Now, we had a long lane going into our farm from the Northcote side road and our mailbox was out on the road. Most days, Father drove out in the buggy to fetch the mail, but if he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t manage to get out there, we children brought the mail home after school. We could always tell if there were letters in the box, because the mailman turned it towards the road. That night, the position of the box told us Father had been too busy that day to make it out the lane.

Well, there was a letter from Aunt Freda. We handed the pack of mail in to Mother, who an-

ing to get the last of the seeding done and all.

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t to be the last time Mother would mislay something, and have the entire family go in all directions to search for it.

I sat on a chair and pondered the situation. And I wondered silently how Mother, who was so organized could misplace so much so often, and how a letter would go all the way out to Chicago and an answer come back in less than a week! Yes, we were certainly living in a miracle age!

Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories

nounced that she hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t found the pictures and she just knew someone had moved them from her place of safe-keeping. She sat down at the kitchen table and opened the letter from our Aunt in Chicago. We heard her cough a few times, which she always did when she was nervous. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, what do you know about that?â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aunt Freda is thanking me for the pictures I sent last week. Said she loved the one of you children standing beside the rhubarb patch, and helping me plant the petunias. And was looking forward to hearing about my Spring planting coming up.â&#x20AC;?

Mother said there was no need to bring up the missing and then suddenly found pictures to father. He had enough on his mind with try-

R0012862738

I could hear Mother rummaging around in the kitchen long before I came down for breakfast. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sound like her usual early morning bustle. There were sounds of cupboard drawers opening and closing, dishes scraping on shelves, and I could have sworn I heard the old creton couch being pulled out from the wall. No, this wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the usual sounds of an early morning on the farm.

When I came into the kitchen, Mother was just about as disheveled as I had ever seen her. She was half way into the baking cupboard, and some flour had fallen out of the big sifter onto her hair. She was beet red in the face and wore a look of frustration and defeat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could have sworn I put those pictures right there,â&#x20AC;? and she brought the flat of her hand down hard on the porcelain bake surface of the cupboard with a bang. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someone has taken them, that is all there is to it. And before any of you go off to school, you are going to help me look for them. I have a letter ready to go to Aunt Freda in Chicago, and I want her to see our rhubarb and flower gardens from last year, and show her what I am about to plant this year. So last summer I took some snaps, and those pictures are going into that letter, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all there is to it.â&#x20AC;?

She sure was agitated. We gobbled down our porridge and Mother dispatched each of us to a different room in the house for the search. We even looked under beds and between the feather tickings, and in the wood box, and in the pockets of the coats that were hanging on the hooks at the back door.

Father came in from the barns to see all of us on our hands and knees looking under cupboards, chairs and sofas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I suppose it would be too much for a man to expect to have his breakfast around here this morning. It looks to me like Mother has gone and lost something again.â&#x20AC;?

Mother threw him a look like a dagger and moved the fry pan with the sliced potatoes and salt pork from the back of the stove up to the

Jaguar enthusiasts; it’s been hectic, as per usual, but spring has sprung and the St. Joseph’s school community is enjoying every minute of it.

The month of April will prove itself to be a whirlwind of activities and events to occupy students, teachers and the community.

April, from an academic viewpoint, will hold midterms.

Students should receive midterm reports towards the end of the month.

The St. Joseph’s Rummage Sale will take place April 18. Tables are still available.

The school is looking forward to our first annual fundraiser to support Renfrew Victoria Hospital.

Dallas, on left, is with Dr. Robert Thirsk, a Canadian astronaut, medical doctor, and engineer. things while you have the chance and keeping yourself motivated by setting small and big goals.

While he gave many suggestions that applied to the entire audience, the idea that really stuck with students was the multitude of opportunities that are available.

“Listening to (Kasaboski) speak really opened my eyes to jobs outside of Renfrew that I never thought of before,” said John Bossy, a Grade 10 student.

RCI hopes to continue giving students the chance to learn about different career fields through the lecture series.

Another wonderful program SJHS is working with is OFSAA’s Try Day. This program is administered by the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations and funded by the Ministry of Education.

Try Day aims to strengthen athletic and physical activity programs in schools.

By involving a range of students, and appealing to those who aren’t already in sports, it allows for fun and new activities.

It allows for a leadership opportunity. SJHS was provided up to $700 to introduce a new sport.

Up and coming in May is Spirit Week, which will take place on the week of the 8th. It will conclude with the spring semi formal.

On behalf of all the staff and students at St. Joseph Catholic High School, I wish you an enjoyable week!

Raider Review

After attending university in France and interning with NASA, a former Renfrew Collegiate Institute graduate returned to RCI to help current students explore career options outside of the community.

Dallas Kasaboski, a space engineer, came back as the second speaker in the ongoing Lecture Series on Tuesday, March 31. His presentation focused on the fact that pursuing the career of your dreams is possible amidst the obstacles, as long as you have dedication.

“I always knew what I wanted to do, but I didn’t know how to get there,” Kasaboski explained.

While he didn’t know exactly how to get into the space industry, he worked hard at RCI in academics, athletics, and extracurriculars, which earned him scholarships, awards, and an acceptance into York University’s Space Engineering program where he earned his Bachelor`s Degree.

After graduation, Kasaboski pursued his Master`s Degree at the International Space University in France, then interned at NASA`s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.

Kasaboski attributes one of the biggest struggles in his career to finding out information about his field. While there were guidance counsellors to aid him, no one knew exactly how to help him and he was largely left on his own to research schools and programs available to him.

“I had absolutely no idea how to make my dreams come true and no one had done anything quite like it before, so when I was asked to come in to the school, I jumped at the chance,” Kasaboski said.

“I wanted to provide the students with some perspective, to show them that there were opportunities outside of Renfrew and that even big dreams can come true with enough hard work and dedication.”

Kasaboski had various other key points in his speech, such as the importance of trying new

Valley Heritage Radiothon ready to roll April 19 Valley Heritage Radio

For 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, Valley Heritage Radio is on the air.

For seven of those days – beginning April 19 – there is more than great classic music flowing across the airwaves of the community-owned, not-for-profit station. There is also a clear message for members of the community that their help is needed and appreciated.

“Community memberships and annual donations are crucial to keep Valley Heritage Radio on the air,” said station manager Jason Marshall.

The fundraising membership drive begins Sunday, April 19 and continues for a week.

Volunteers and on-air personalities will be in communities across the Valley Monday through Friday, as part of the annual “Out & About” visits. They’ll be bringing with them local musicians, to make it more of a party atmosphere. The Out & Abouts this year will include Dunrobin, Almonte, Pembroke, Cobden, Eganville, Arnprior, Griffith, Bryson and Shawville. DJs will be announcing exact locations and times leading up to the event.

“We love getting out to all areas in the Valley, and we know some people want to support Heritage 98-7, but can’t physically make it out to the station,” said Marshall. “So we’re delighted to come to them.”

Also during Radiothon Week, there will be three nights of live music on the Thomas Cavanagh Stage at the Station (3009 Burnstown Rd.). April 20 will be a live country show featuring Gord Barnes & Laredo, The McMunn Brothers, Brad Scott and Judi Moffatt . April 22 will be Fiddle Night with Dennis Harrington bringing in a stage full of some of the Valley’s top fiddlers. Don’t miss Friday April 24 with Concession 23 and Maple Hill bringing you the best in Gospel Bluegrass music from the Valley “The live shows at the station are free and we encourage everyone to come out and catch the fever of the Radiothon live and in person,” said Marshall.

The fundraising drive wraps up Sunday, April 26 with the annual Valley Round-Up Dance at the Renfrew Armouries. There will be five hours of live music guaranteed to keep everyone’s toes tapping, and a light lunch.

Featured talent includes the Douglas Connection, The Countrymen, and Tony True and the Truetones “It’s a perfect way to wrap up an intense week of fundraising,” said Marshall. “What better way to enjoy a spring Sunday afternoon than with great friends and great music.”

Woven into the week of great music is a pledge drive where members of the community are encouraged to purchase or renew memberships to the station, or make donations, said Marshall.

“We are a non-profit station with more than a hundred volunteers and a handful of paid staff who work tirelessly to keep the station running day in and day out,” said Marshall.

“Our community membership sits at more than 1,800 members and without those supporters and their generosity, we wouldn’t be able to stay on the air.”

Each day throughout the radiothon, listeners will hear the usual blend of music and the regular shows, but there will be daily messages encouraging the listeners to support the station in any way they can, said Marshall.

“Even with all the volunteer support, it’s still costly to run a radio station,” said Marshall.

“That’s why this radiothon is so important. We want to be here for our listeners for a long time. We only want to go to the public once a year and ask for their support. Your donations help us do what we do, because we do it for you.”

New to the radiothon this year will be a mega 50/50 draw. Ticket sales will start April 12 and end April 26 at the Round-Up Dance.

The winner of 50 per cent of the proceeds will be announced live on Heritage 98.7 at 11 a.m. on Monday, April 27. For more information about the Radiothon, please contact the station at 613-432-9873 or 888-532-9870 or visit them online at www.valleyheritageradio.ca

50 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, April 16, 2015

County welcomes funding to fight homelessness Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

The Ontario government recently reconfirmed its $587-million commitment to help end homelessness.

Renfrew county’s portion works out to $887,500 this fiscal year and next, with the same slated for 2016 and 2017, according to Renfrew County Housing general manager Carol Neill.

“It’s a start and very helpful. It’s exciting,” she said. But “by no means will it solve all the problems we face in rural Ontario.”

The figures across Canada of people living without a home of their own are quite high, Neill said, especially when considering the “hidden homeless”: couch surfers, street youths, people who break into cottages and others. The numbers are difficult to determine in Arnprior, Renfrew and the county as a whole. There are 978

rent-geared-to-income units (some singles, some family-sized), with just under 1,000 applicants on a waiting list. However, Neill said the numbers have not altered significantly in recent years. “It’s pretty steady,” she said. “It’s moving along steadily.

Can we do more? Absolutely we can do more.”

A study on the issue was presented to county council in late 2013. It said homelessness will become an even greater problem as the county’s population continues to grow, age and diversify. Yet affordable rental units are in short supply.

One possible solution is to get the private sector more involved. Neill points to a newly built seniors’ apartment building in Arnprior. It offers affordable housing to low income tenants, a highly needed option in a town so close to Ottawa. It seems to be working so well that Renfrew County Housing gets a phone call a

day asking if any units have opened.

However, government imposed rent-controls has made it tough for landlords to make a profit, critics note. Rent increases are capped at one per cent per year, while hydro and other costs are above the rate of inflation. That means fewer people choosing to rent their properties.

Another possible solution is to prevent homeless before it happens. That would mean a strong and affordable education system, including postsecondary. It also means strengthening programs such as the emergency minor home repair. It provides up to $5,000 for low income homeowners to replace a furnace or repair a hole in the roof. That prevents them from having to give up their home because of an immediate problem.

Cynics would say programs like that are ripe for abuse. But Neill said her department has such strict rules in place that few would make the at-

tempt if they weren’t in dire need.

“I think most people would think our rules are too much of a pain,” she said. “We need the rules to make sure the money is spent wisely. This is taxpayers money and we can’t just hand it out lightly.”

A third possible solution is to bring the federal government back to the table. The Conservatives have shown little interest in homelessness issues, preferring a hands-off approach that sees the provinces and municipalities take the lead. Neill said she is “hoping it is turning around” and that long-term, national strategies could be put in place. But less hopeful critics say as long as the perception remains that homeless people are responsible for their plight, that it isn’t society’s task to eradicate homelessness, the problems will persist.

Neill said the more governments can be convinced of the long-term financial savings – on health care and

in some instance the legal system – the more likely they will want to be part of the solution.

“Safe, affordable housing is also a known determinant of health – which is to say that the investment in social housing can lead to healthier outcomes for individuals, communities and health care expenditures,” she said. “Renfrew County Housing Corporation is committed to providing exceptional customer service to all clients and stakeholders.”

It’s by no means all doom and gloom. She sees many victories and greatly admires many clients. There’s the woman who lived her entire life in the bush with her mother, in a home they built together. And there’s the man in his 60s who has never owned a home, but travelled a long way to say thank you when Renfrew County Housing offered him a unit. Both are amazing people with extraordinary life stories to tell, she said.
