A new Miss Teen Ontario East has been crowned for the tenth time.

Sophia DeCarle had the coveted tiara placed REGION onREGION her head on Sunday, April 17 at the Renfrew Recreation Centre at the end of the pageant.

The Grade 11 student at Madawaska Valley District High School was sponsored by Miss Madawaska Valley.

After the announcement was made, DeCarle .COM said she couldn’t believe it.

“All I could think about was the amazing journey I had ahead of me,” said DeCarle. “I cannot wait to start getting out in the community and doing my duties. I am excited.”

She was almost at a loss for words.

“I am ecstatic, I don’t even know what to think right now,” said DeCarle. “I had no clue.

I was having such a great time. It was amazing and I am shocked.”

The 17 contestants had a full night with a number of musical performances, an evening gown show, impromptu questions session and the awards presentation.

“The night was amazing it was so busy I had so much fun, you are rushing around getting dressed. The production was great,” said DeCarle. “It was so successful and I could not have asked for a better night.”

DeCarle said she feels she has grown a lot over the weekend and is ready for what the year brings.

Jason Pepin would have been happy with a free coffee. So when he rolled up the rim on his medium triple-triple Tim Hortons coffee cup last month and discovered he’d won the contest’s grand prize, he was a little shocked.

“I haven’t even won a free lottery ticket. It took about four days to finally click in I actually won a new car,” he said.

“Now it’s getting more and more exciting every day that passes. I wasn’t even expecting it one bit.”

The 23-year-old Campbell’s Bay, QC man was at the Stewart Street Tim Hortons in Renfrew on Friday, April 15 to pick up his shiny, new 2016 Honda Civic Sedan EX-T. Pepin was joined by his two children, three-year-old Zoey and sixweek-old Mason, along with their mom Jackie Merchand.

Also on hand for the presentation was family friend Charles Stephens, who actually purchased the coffee for Jason before the buddies returned to Pepin’s home in Campbell’s Bay, where he rolled up the rim and discovered the prize.

Merchand said at first she didn’t believe Pepin had actually won the car.

Pageant raises funds and awareness for childhood cancer Continued from front

The Ontario East Top Model title was awarded to Renfrew Collegiate Institute (RCI) student Cricket Guest, sponsored by Mona Lisa Day Spa. She won a $1,500 scholarship to compete at the next level.

Daphne Rose, a Grade 11 student at RCI who was sponsored by J&J Chocolate Sensations, was crowned Ontario East Ambassador and won the $2,000 entry fee for the national pageant.

Rose also won the Lindsay Norton Memorial award and the friendship award.

Rinila Haridas took home two awards of the night interview and talent.

Moira Friske won the charity award. Megan King won the fashion award.

DeCarle won a $3,000 scholarship, which is her entry fee to the 2017 Miss Teenage Canada pageant.

This summer Kathleen Barr, Miss Teenage Eastern Ontario 2016 (the former Miss Teen Ontario East 2015), will represent the region at the Miss Teenage Canada Pageant in July.

The pageant raises funds and awareness for childhood cancer causes, including Candlelighters.

In her outgoing remarks Barr reflected on her year and explained Candlelighters was one of the reasons she got involved in the pageant.

Her sister Jill was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2009 and the organization provided the support and resources her family needed.

“Jill is one of the childhood cancer survivors that comes on stage to lend support to the pageant and the Candlelighters number,” said Barr. “The pageant has always showcased these heroes in such an inspirational and moving way, ever since the first time I watched the pageant I loved it.”

Barr said winning the pageant was the start of a whole new life and one of the most exciting moments of her life.

She said when she was a little girl she looked up to the past winners and thought they were the biggest celebrities.

“As a little kid, having a real princess approach you and ask how you’re doing and how’s school going is probably the most exciting thing that could happen to you,” said Barr.

“I think that was why I found it so surreal to actually be crowned Miss Teen Ontario East because I was now in the same place as all of those girls that I looked up to and admired.”

Over the year she took part in more than 50 events,

including the Spring Bloom art show for Candlelighters, CHEO Telethon, the Trees of Hope auction, CHEO’s Teddy Bear Picnic, 10 parades and the World Kayaking championship.

Paige Dillabough was one of the cancer champions and Barr spoke very highly of her.

“Paige is one of the strongest women I have ever met. Paige has been through so much at such a young age… Paige’s story never fails to amaze me and it breaks my heart to think that someone as great as Paige has been through so much pain in her life,” said Barr.

Paige was sitting in the front row and the moving tribute brought both her and Barr to tears.

“Over the last year Paige and I have

spent a lot of time together and I’ve really gotten to know her,” said Barr. “She’s not just a role model to me anymore; she’s a role model and a great friend. Thank you Paige for always putting a smile on my face and inspiring me.”

Earlier in the evening Miss Teen Talent 2015 Katie Harper sang ‘Fight Song’

by Rachel Platten as the delegates signed part of the song and danced behind her.

At the end of the song the cancer champions: Jessica McCoy, Jill Barr, Dillabough, Annie Underhill and Nathan Vandecamp, took the stage.

Dillabough welcomed the crowd and told them just by buying a ticket everyone had helped the life of a child with cancer.

“I’m sure many of you have heard the

saying ‘walk a mile in my shoes.’ Well I hope no one will ever have to walk even a step in my shoes or in the shoes of my fellow cancer champions.

“When most of our friends were outside playing or having fun at school, we were hooked up to chemo drugs, struggling through radiation treatment or going through life threatening surgeries.”

Dillabough continued her strong message, telling the audience life was not fair.

“We fought through everything and even though some of my fellow champions didn’t win their battles, they never once gave up,” said Dillabough. “Cancer will knock us down. It will test our strength and it will change our figures but it cannot take our spirit. This is our fight!”

Quebec man wins new Honda Civic at Renfrew Tims

Jason Pepin and Jackie Merchand, along with their children Zoey and Mason, of Campbell’s Bay, QC, receive their new 2016 Honda Civic Sedan EX-T at Tim Hortons in Renfrew April 15, presented

by Renfrew store owner Donald Carty, centre. While a white car is being used for the photo opportunity, Pepin had his choice of colour and selected blue.

Continued from front

“They were yelling like crazy in the kitchen,” she said.

Stephens said he and Pepin often buy coffees for each other, depending on who is passing through Renfrew, and had agreed if they ever won big on the contest, they’d share.

And so, on the morning Pepin picked up his car, he signed over the family’s SUV to Stephens, who said he was very happy to see his friend win.

“They needed a car, so it worked out for them, and it worked out for me, too” he said.

“All this winter I was fixing up my old car to travel with,” said Pepin, noting that vehicle is a 2000 Ford Escort. “So this’ll be a good travelling car to work every day.”

Pepin, originally from Vinton, QC, works in construction at Torus Construction in Ottawa, doing sidewalks and curbs, he explained.

The new Civic will be a great family vehicle, he said, as it’s larger than the Escort.

Local Tim Hortons officials are pleased and excited about the win.

“Having a grand prize winner at our restaurant is exciting for our guests, team members and the community,” said Donald Carty, Tim Hortons restaurant owner in Renfrew. “Our guests are happy when they win a donut or a coffee, so you can imagine how thrilling it is when someone rolls up the rim and realizes they’ve won a new vehicle.”

This is the second time a car has been won at Carty’s Renfrew restaurant in the past five years.

He said he was pleased to see the big prize go to a regular customer, in particular one with a young family.

During the contest, guests have a one in six chance to instantly win more than 45 million prizes, including one of 40 prizes of the all-new 2016 Honda Civic Sedan EX-T, 120 LG 4K OLED TVs, 100 $5,000 CIBC prepaid cards, 25,000 $100 TimCards, and millions of coffee and donut prizes.

The 2016 Honda Civic Sedan EX-T was recently named North American Car of the Year.

The Roll Up the Rim to Win contest ran until April 17 or while cup supplies last. Prizes may be claimed until May 8. Contest rules, odds of winning and prizing information can be found at participating Tim Hortons locations or at www.rolluptherimtowin.com.

Town of Renfrew cracks down on messy yards Sherry Haaima

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

The Town of Renfrew has a new tool when it comes to dealing with property owners who don’t maintain their yards.

On Tuesday, April 12, council passed the new clean yards bylaw and updated its property standards bylaw.

“It’s a proactive bylaw that deals specifically with the outsides of houses,” said bylaw enforcement officer Jim McBain of Municipal Law Enforcement Services.

“About 80 per cent of our property standards complaints are dealing with the outside condition of houses. Long grass, messy yards, refrigerators put at the curbside with a sign that says ‘free’ that stay there for two or three weeks, used furniture, piles of garbage at the side of the garage,” said McBain.

He showed a slideshow of a number of messy properties in town, including vacant lots, that had empty pools with vegetation growing in them, lawns with demolition derby cars and piles of debris littered about.

In some cases, bylaw officers themselves do the cleanup, he explained.

“Neighbours will call and complain,” said McBain. “The problem with property standards is not everybody calls and complains. They’re afraid of intimidation from the neighbour, they don’t want to offend the neighbour. They’ll put up with this for a long period of time.”

JIM MCBAIN The new bylaw is a good tool from an enforcement standpoint, said McBain, because there is no requirement, as there is under the property standards bylaw, to give a twoweek appeal period, said McBain.

“We can walk in on any one of these properties and say ‘Look, your property is in contravention of the clean yards bylaw, how long do you think it would take you to clean this place up?’ And we try to negotiate an agreed upon amount. Ultimately, when push comes to shove we’re going to tell them how long it’s going to be but we try to work with the property owner because there’s a cost factor usually involved and money’s tight.

“The clean yards bylaw is to facilitate remedial action quicker,” said McBain. “A property standards appeal could go on all summer long before it’s finalized.”

He stressed the bylaw officers attempt to get voluntary compliance.

“A nice friendly approach always - first,” said McBain. “We try to work with people, we try to understand their situation.”

Those found to be in contravention of the bylaw are presented with either a notice or an order, explained McBain, which will have a time frame specified.

“If they don’t comply within the specified time they could get a provincial offences notice with a fine, plus court costs, plus a victim service fee,” he said.

The recommended set fines for all clean yards bylaw infractions is $200.

McBain estimated the total cost to a violator will be around $220-225.

Short form wording of the offences include: fail to maintain property – debris; commercial waste bin/dumpster – prohibited residential property; fail to maintain property – grass/weeds/overgrowth; fail to maintain adjacent municipal property; fail to maintain hedge, shrub or tree; littering; permit littering; permit infestation – insects/rodents/ vermin; storage prohibited; and pool/hot tub/pond – not maintained.

“I’m surprised it took until 2016 to have this,” said Coun. Tom Sidney.

He asked whether notices needed to be complaint-driven or if the bylaw officers could act if they noticed properties in contravention of the bylaw.

“It has been suggested that if it’s an obvious issue, we can act on it,” said McBain. “In the past property standards has been complaint driven because we don’t want to be in a situation where a citizen will say ‘Well, you’re picking on me.’”

The new bylaw should help cut down on the frustration of dealing with repeat offenders, he added.

“You’re dealing with 10 per cent of the population, year after year after year,” said McBain. “Most of these places you’ve seen I’ve issued notices every year for the past three years.”

Council also passed what McBain described as a “modernization” of the property standards bylaw, which hadn’t been updated since the year 2000. Definitions were updated to be in line with those included in zoning bylaws and in the official plan and to reflect changes in case law and legislation.

Santa Fe patio back this year Sherry Haaima

Renfrew joins communities across the country April 17-23 in celebrating Pitch-In Week. Council passed a motion marking the occasion.

“I, Don Eady, Mayor of Renfrew, declare the week of April 17-23 Pitch-In Canada Week, in Renfrew and invite all citizens in our community to actively participate,” said Eady. Pitch-In Canada says that during Pitch-In Week, hundreds of thousands of Canadians reuse, recycle and properly dispose of waste; clean up and rejuvenate local neighbourhods, green spaces, ravines, waterways and illegal dump sites; restore habitats and to establish composting and recycling projects The public can contact the recreation department at 613-432-3131 for free bags and gloves.

important to them.

CIP in place

Council has designated the department of development and works as the plan administrator of Renfrew’s new community improvement plan (CIP). The planning advisory committee will act as the advisory body, recommending the approval of any financial incentive projects. Monday, May 2 is the first day the town will accept applications and grants will be given on a first come, first served basis. Council previously approved $20,000 for the first year of the CIP, which offers financial incentives and grants for a number of property and building improvements.

New tractor

Council authorized the purchase of a new Kubota L6060 tractor for the parks and recreation department from Huckabone Garage Ltd. for $48,662. The purchase was included in the 2016 capital budget. Quotes were received from three suppliers.

Santa Fe’s unique patio will be back on Renfrew’s main street again this year.

The restaurant’s patio on Raglan Street, which was introduced last year as a pilot project, is accommodated with a wooden walkway that runs around the patio and utilizes two parking spots in front of the establishment.

Last year’s pilot was a success, said town planner Ivan Burton at the regular council meeting April 12, noting the change triggered an increase in customers for owner Tom Pappin and the surrounding businesses.

The increased business is translating into additional staff at the restaurant, said Burton.

There were no major issues reported last year, he added.

An ailing main street tree and adjacent hydro pedestal will be removed this year and several changes will be made, including the addition of flower boxes, lighting and small speakers to provide low background music.

Manganese treatment system in the works Sherry Haaima

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

The town is working on a solution for the ‘brown water’ some residents in Renfrew have experienced, reported development and works director Mike Asselin at the April 12 regular council meeting.

In 2012, some town residents reported brown water, the cause of which was found to be manganese in the raw water. The problem occurred intermittently again in 2014 and 2015.

“Manganese is abundant in the environment and is made soluble in water when oxygen levels are depleted within deeper pools in the river system,” said Asselin in his report. “After some time in the distribution system in the presence of chlorine, the manganese is oxidized and forms a brown precipitate.”

There are no negative health effects of manganese, said Asselin.

“But it does aesthetically effect the water when it reacts with the chlorine,” he said. “And it causes us to have to do extensive flushing of water to clear the manganese.”

Council passed a staff recommendation to have J. L. Richards and Associates complete the design work for a manganese treatment system at the Renfrew Water Filtration Plant. The design component of the project will cost $26,975.

OPP weekly news The Renfrew Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) investigated 201 calls for service during the previous week, including mischiefs, family disputes and assaults.

the issue and called the meeting last month a ‘fantastic conversation.’

“Both the ministry and myself recognize the importance of this highway project and the impact it will have as we continue the four lanes through the County of Renfrew,” said Del Duca.

“I can assure that member I will continue to work closely with his community and the ministry understands the importance of this particular artery in Eastern Ontario and we will continue to have conversations as we go forward.”

Del Duca also pointed out the environmental assessments for the next phases are have been completed and the ministry will continue to work with the community on this project.

As his question was not answered Yakabuski pressed on by saying he appreciates the work has been done up until now.

“But we cannot stop.”

He reminded Del Duca his predecessors had asked the county government to make the case for the continued twinning of Highway 17. “I believe they have made that case over and over again in spades,” said Yakabuski. “It’s now up to the minister.”

Yakabuski also referenced the infrastructure investments the federal government has made; something the province should take advantage of. “(And) place the highest priority on this project, four-laning will be a boon to Renfrew County, both economically and socially, as well as making the route safer for everyone who travels it.”

He then asked again if it would be included in the five-year plan.

“I thank the member for ac-

Renfrew Home show April 22 and 23 During this climate of tough economic times, businesses are struggling to decide where and what to invest in safely to grow their businesses and not make detrimental choices that will drastically affect their businesses for the worse.

This year’s myFM Home and Leisure Show on April 22 and 23 at the Renfrew Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre, is proving to be a positive format to showcase many of the Ottawa Valley’s locally owned businesses and beyond.

The involved businesses are doing what it takes to get their products and services out there and ensure their business success continues in an uncertain future.

This is evident by the increase in the number of enterprises that have chosen to participate this year.

This year, visitors can also enjoy great attractions like all NEW Kids Zone with inflatables, face painting and special surprise guests, along with appearances of Miss Teen Ambassador and the Miss Teen Ontario East and delegates.

The show will also feature another incredible display by the Renfrew Art Guild.

There will also be great exhibitors, and food, aimed at providing a venue to entertain and intrigue all who attend, along with amazing door prizes, including a $500 travel voucher from Marlin Travel in Renfrew.

This year marks the twelfth annual myFM Home Garden and Leisure Show.

“Its success is an important sign that local businesses aren’t willing

to let these trying economic times defeat them,” says a press release promoting the event.

“Consider being a part of this positive stand in our community, and let’s support our local business crusaders. Together we want them to make it through these changes and help our community grow and prosper. We will see you at the show.”

The 2016 Renfrew Home, Garden and Leisure show is brought to you in part by myFM 96.1, The Renfrew and Area Chamber of Commerce and the Town of Renfrew and is sponsored by Canadian Nuclear Laboratories and Marlin Travel.

The fight for four lanes on Highway 17 continued on April 11.

John Yakabuski, MPP for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, stood during question period in Toronto and repeatedly asked Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca if he would commit to putting the next phase of the twinning of Highway 17 into the ministry’s five-year capital infrastructure plan.

In an interview after he rose at Queen’s Park he said he will keep pressing the matter on a regular basis.

“This is one of the highest priorities,” said Yakabuski.

He said the minister’s response had a positive tone.

“He was certainly looking at ways to make it happen,” said Yakabuski.

“The issue is the commitment. I wanted to make it clear and on the record. I felt it was positive and until the five-year plan is announced we will keep pressing.”

During his exchange with the minister, Yakabuski referenced the meeting with County of Renfrew Warden Peter Emon and McNabBraeside Mayor Tom Peckett on March 24.

Emon told the Renfrew Mercury he was quite happy to see Yakabuski raise the question.

“I think it is very appropriate for him to ask the question to the minister,” said Emon.

“It’s part of the process and John asked for some very reasonable things. It’s good news because this is exactly how the process should go.”

Yakabuski praised the work

Renfrew County has done, saying it has been instrumental.

“With all of our ducks in a row we feel it is difficult for them to not move on it,” said Yakabuski.

Emon noted the minister told him they should hear something before the summer.

On April 13, Emon was present for a federal government announcement at Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL).

The Government of Canada is providing CNL with $800 million over five years for infrastructure projects to renew and revitalize the Chalk River laboratories.

Some of the projects will be related to the renewal of basic site infrastructure, while other projects will be for science facilities, aligning with its long-term vision for the site, notably plans that are part of CNL’s Vision 2026.

“That certainly, again, ties it back to our presentation and what John said as it is a very important artery,” said Emon.

The current phase will reach Scheel Drive this year but the next phase has yet to make it in future plans.

“The minister knows this project is vital to the economy of Renfrew County as a transportation corridor,” said Yakabuski.

“It connects Canadian Nuclear Laboratories and Garrison Petawawa to the nation’s capital and it is a major artery for commercial truck traffic.

Given how crucially important this roadway is; will the minister commit to putting the further twinning of Highway 17 into his ministry’s five-year plan?”

Del Duca responded by thanking Yakabuski for his advocacy on

Be on the right side of history Municipal councils across the Ottawa Valley are weighing the risks and benefits of the proposed Energy East pipeline. The issues are many, some fairly complicated.

But one thing is certain: those that vote in favour will prove to be on the wrong side of history.

Energy East aims to ship diluted bitumen from the Alberta oil sands to ports in Quebec and New Brunswick. It has been years in the making for multinational giant TransCanada. The blame for why the proposal has dragged on so long sits largely with the previous Conservative government, which gutted environmental laws to the point that no one could take the approval process seriously.

The new Liberal government will make a decision at some point, now that it has created new conditions for pipeline developments. The problem for them is to approve a process that will add more carbon to the atmosphere while somehow convincing Canadians they are helping to slow climate change. Then again, government regulates the sale of cigarettes while funding cancer treatment.

Renfrew and Admaston-Bromley councils have discussed the pipeline that would travel under the Bonnechere River.

Arnprior and McNab-Braeside councils appear ready to make a decision on the pipeline that passes under the Madawaska River. Both seem likely to support it. In Arnprior’s case, Mayor David Reid said he is satisfied with two questions posed to TransCanada. Ontario’s natural gas supply will not be affected. And the pipeline, where it crosses the river, will be made of trustworthy materials.

Notice the absence of any concern for climate change and the damage we are causing future generations.

But to first address the two questions. It is by no means clear the province’s natural gas supply and price will not be affected.

The company promises millions of dollars between 2020 and 2050 to compensate consumers. That only increases concern that it will cost more. They are planning for spikes, yet Ontarians should trust they

are not lowballing?

And to trust TransCanada when it comes to building pipelines is to ignore the adage “past practice is the best indicator of future behaviour.” Their pipelines burst, it happens. A left-leaning think tank, The Council of Canadians, determined that Energy East poses a “considerable” risk.

The 40-year-old pipeline has a 15 per cent likelihood of a full-bore rupture somewhere along the path that is within the drinking water of 5.1 million people.

A rupture in the Madawaska would spell disaster for Arnprior and possibly the nation’s capital.

There are many other reasons not to support Energy East. Little compensation to municipalities that take on the risk; most of the oil will be refined outside Canada; all will be sold to international markets; next to no permanent jobs; the benefits are few.

However, the primary reason for area councils to - not only vote against Energy East but to actively campaign against it has to do with climate change. Scientists are beginning to say how they have been too conservative in their estimations. The very real effects have begun and they are compounding rapidly.

People with tremendous knowledge on the topic, such as Stephen Lewis, are now saying we have mere decades before we are hit with irreversible harm to human existence.

“I’m kept awake at night thinking of what our grandchildren will face,” Lewis said at the recent NDP convention. “I believe the world is headed for an apocalyptic event between 2030 and 2050 that is absolutely irreversible. It will be one of those hallucinatory climatic convulsions.

The damage we’ve done to the planet, and our refusal to confront that damage, constitutes nothing less than a monumental crime against humanity.”

All local legislators must carefully consider their position on this, the issue that sustains all other issues. When looking back over a lifetime, and into a child’s eyes, which side of history will you be on?

Support for Community Living workers of work and job security. I am not in favour of strikes but I make an exception in this case. As well as doing essential, stressful and at times unpleasant work, these workers give vital support to the over-burdened families of their clients.

They fully deserve better working conditions, salary increases and job security.

To the editor:

I happened to be in the Renfrew seniors’ centre the other day when two caregivers and four of their (mentally challenged) adult clients were there.

The professionalism these ladies showed, supervising their charges and at the same time encouraging them to become involved in the activities available at the centre, was excellent.

Community Living employees have voted for strike action due to a wage freeze, hours complete address and a contact phone number.

pile of of poop left there by an inconsiderate dog owner. First, in this day and age who doesn’t carry dog poop bags? And if you do not, shame on you!

Day of Mourning ceremonies planned for Renfrew, Pembroke The Renfrew and District Labour Council is inviting the public to join members to recognize local workers who have been killed or injured on the job at its annual Day of Mourning ceremony Thursday, April 28.

The ceremony for the RenfrewArnprior area will be held at 12:15 p.m. at the memorial in O’Brien Park near the Swinging Bridge in Renfrew.

Every year, on April 28, the labour movement across Canada and around the world pauses to remember killed and injured workers and stress that more should be done to prevent such incidents.

The Day of Mourning was created in Canada by CUPE members and first observed in 1984. It is now observed in more than 100 countries worldwide.

“No one should die because of their work, yet in Ontario a worker dies almost every day because of workplace hazards and incidents,” says CUPE in a news release about the Day of Mourning.

“Worker deaths are tragedies not only for their families, but for the people they work with and for their communities.

“On this day, we stand in solidarity with workers around the world and share with each other a collective sense of loss.”

By remembering those who have been killed or injured, workers remember why they must continue to fight for the health and safety of workers, adds the CUPE release.

The Renfrew and District Labour Council also holds a Day of Mourning ceremony at the Pembroke Marina at 6:15 p.m. on April 28.

Art Trees sprout up in Renfrew County for 150th celebrations Art Tree is $100 and it comes boxed with an archival art print of the tree, design sheet, lettering, extra art papers, instructions on art techniques and the logo.

“We are not making any money on this, it is an adventure of love,” said Schaly.

A donation has been made to help schools participate so the cost for schools to create a tree is only $80. Arrangements can be made for pick up in the Valley and shipping is available for areas outside the Valley.

Almost 150 years ago our ancestors planted roots in our community.

Now as we are on the cusp of celebrating this milestone, a Calabogie woman is leading the charge to help residents reflect on the growth of our communities.

Marlene Schaly from Calabogie participated in the Renfrew County Culture Talks and was inspired to engage the community with an art project.

“The tree is a basic image people can connect with,” said Schaly after a presentation at Renfrew County council on March 30.

The Ottawa Valley is the host of the project and she was seeking the support of local municipalities.

Every town in Canada will be invited to embrace the project as part of their 150th celebrations.

Schaly noted the drawn image of the tree relates to the national logo of the maple leaf and is symbolic of our Canadian landscape.

“Each of us have roots in our country, schools, faith groups, businesses and organizations,” she told the council. “We grow and branch out as human beings within these community groups. The Art Tree Project is an excellent way to commemorate our fellow travellers through life with whom we, work, learn, worship and play.”

During the presentation she explained the vision of the Art Tree Project is a creative initiative in which families, schools, business and groups can come together to each create their own Art Tree masterpiece. Each completed Art Tree will be owned by its creators and proudly displayed at participating communities’ art shows during

Since the Ottawa Valley is the host, anyone who would like to create one in Renfrew County can receive a kit half price until August 2016.

There are three free Art Tree workshops coming up next month: May 1, 15 and 29 at In The Garden Studio in Burnstown. Register by email.

Renfrew Rotary Club set to roll out 2016 music festival

Music moves us all. It is said to be an international language that everyone understands.

The melodies, the flow and the emotions that music can evoke transcend all barriers and unite the entire world.

The Renfrew Rotary Club’s Music Festival celebrates those who not only understand the nuances of the language but speak it…either vocally or instrumentally.

Vocal competition, along with piano, are the main attractions.

However, again this year is the attraction of a fiddling competition.

Traditional or classical, the Rotary event promises to be ‘feet stomping’ and uplifting.

This segment of the music festival happens at the Presbyterian Church from 9 to 11:30 a.m. on April 25.

The vocal portion of the Rotary Music Festival will be held at Kirk hall from April 18-22 and the piano categories will be at Trinity-St. Andrew’s from April 25 to 28.

The cost of attending the music festival is $2 per event, $3 per day or $15 per week, for an entire family. Children under the age of 10 get free admission. Clearly, the cost is minimal and the value received maximal.

AWARDS

The awards concert will be held on Wed., May 4 at Trinity-St. Andrew’s with free admission.

Again, local talent is showcased at the awards ceremony with the choir. Performing along with the choir, some of the children who compete in the festival may be called upon to perform one last time for the Rotary Music Festival. These young performers will be chosen based on balance and audience appeal.

The objectives of the 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-confidence 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 to the provincial completion as a further aid to their progress.

The Celebration of Song and Dance Musical Variety Show on April 16 was co-produced by Lawrence Mahusky, left and Heather Sagmeister, right. Carolyn Edson, centre, was the Renfrew Refugee Welcome Group co-ordinator for the show, which raised money to support a Syrian refugee family.

Because Renfrew Rotary Club is a member of The Ontario Music Festival and The Federation of Canadian Music Festivals, our local talent has the opportunity to be show cased at a higher level.

Children with the highest marks win trophies or cash awards as donated by generous local sponsors.

In addition, children who receive an 80 per cent or higher grading and have not won a prize in another category will receive a cash prize of $20 as an achievement award.

One final 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, honouring Judy’s mother, who was an accomplished musician who promoted the cultivation of the arts in young people.

Showcase

In order to prevent bias judgments and enhance professionalism, the competition adheres solidly to the rules and regulations.

A final benefit of competing in the Rotary Music Festival 2016 is the possibility of advancing to provincial and potentially even national competition.

Because Renfrew Rotary Club is a member of The Ontario Music Festival and The Federation of Canadian Music Festivals, our local talent has the opportunity to be show cased at a higher level. This not only offers encouragement to the young music students but also exposes them to performing in a non familiar venue. As with any feat, practice makes perfect.

A small admission fee of $2 is charged for the viewing of each performance. Or you can purchase a daily or weekly rate. Clearly, participating in the Renfrew Rotary Music Festival 2016 has value on many levels.

Come out and see the young talented players in our area.

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, April 21, 2016 13

A testament to palliative care: Kathy Henneberry and Hospice Renfrew Lynn Hyatt

Kathy Hennebery’s story begins on Tuesday, September 11, 2001.

Mom (Kathy) and I were working in the family business that day and customers were constantly giving us updates on the catastrophic news out of New York. Then at 3:05 p.m. the phone rang again. On the other end of the line was a cancer specialist from Ottawa who had just received the results of mom’s routine blood work taken in Pembroke the day before and wanted mom in her office on Thursday. In an era of doctor shortages and long wait times for specialist appointments, we knew something was wrong.

By Thursday night we had the news: mom had acute leukemia. She had to start taking different drugs to try to determine which one would work best for her. Dad (Glenn) became her 24/seven caregiver, the one who administered the daily belly needles, the one who looked after all mom’s needs, the one who was at her side all the time, since by Christmas, she was quite sick and could not do any basic chores for herself.

Early in the new year, mom received the news that she was a candidate for a new cancer drug that had just finished trials and was showing promise in her particular type of leukemia. Over the next months (and years), mom did gradually improve until she started again to enjoy life with Glenn, their children and grandchildren, and had the opportunity to enjoy the dream home she and Glenn had built in the Golden Lake area shortly before her illness. She witnessed the births of four more grandchildren and welcomed two more through marriage.

Fast forward to 2007. mom’s regular blood work again showed abnormalities. More tests revealed she now had cervical cancer. The good news was that the cancer was still in its early stages and quite contained, so

after a complete hysterectomy to remove the cancerous sections, life again returned to normal for a while. Mom witnessed the birth of her ninth grandchild and she and dad went on a couple of ‘trips of a lifetime.’

Then 2014, Mother’s Day. The entire family went out to brunch at one of our favourite Mother’s Day spots, but it was the last time we were able to enjoy a meal out. By the next weekend mom was very uncomfortable when she tried to sit up straight and at her next doctor’s appointment, a pelvic mass was discovered.

Her cancer had returned.

Mom moved into the Ottawa hospital and started daily radiation treatments. Dad was with her from early morning to late every night, and since my brother lives in the Ottawa area, was able to live with him, visit with him at the end of each day, and get a good night’s sleep at least as well as could be expected.

At a family meeting in July, one of mom’s doctors told us her prognosis: her life expectancy was uncertain, could be three weeks or three months, but probably not a year.

By September, with the radiation completed, mom was able to return home. Again dad became her full-time caregiver 24/7 as she quickly lost mobility. Barry’s Bay hospice volunteers did visit twice a week for a few hours of respite care so dad could get out and do some basic chores - groceries, hair cuts, his own medical appointments - and CCAC sent nurses and personal support workers to assist with mom’s care and to monitor her health, but mom still had to travel to Ottawa to see her cancer doctors and those trips were very hard on both she and dad. Mom needed lots of assistance and was in a lot of pain when she sat up.

Wheelchairs and hospital waiting rooms are not designed with that in mind.

See COMPASSIONATE, page 15 14 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, April 21, 2016

With the help of the caring and compassionate care she received at Hospice Renfrew, Kathy Henneberry outlived all initial expectations.

Trivia night support Hike for Hospice On Thursday, March 31, Jamie Cybulski from myFM held a trivia night at the Renfrew Legion, to help kick off the Hike for Hospice Renfrew fundraiser. Twenty-four teams of four gathered for eight rounds of “intense” trivia and it was ‘The Legends’ (Shane Lambert, Kevin Crozier, Steve Dick and Michael Coulterman) that came out on top. Finishing in second was ‘The Sensible Shoes’ (Jessica Belanger, Frank Belanger, Laura Hunter and Anthony St. George). Altogether, just shy of $2,000 was raised for Hospice Renfrew. Organizers would like to thank the Renfrew Legion, hospice volunteers, Renfrew Pizzaria, Subway Renfrew and Ricky’s Spuds for helping make the night a success. The Hike for Hospice Renfrew takes place on Sunday, May 1 at Ma-Te-Way Park at 1 p.m. Visit www. hikeforhospicerenfrew.ca for more details.

Helping you enjoy life’s special moments Call today to make an appointment so you can hear clearly again

Compassionate care at hospice The pace and schedule at hospice was set to match the needs of its residents, a wonderful change from the hospital environment.

Mom was able to sleep (in peace) when she wanted, eat when she wanted and enjoy her visitors when she wanted.

Dad celebrated his birthday and together they celebrated their 49th wedding anniversary, with staff and volunteers helping them celebrate by baking cakes, singing songs and bringing flowers to brighten mom’s room.

Unfortunately, as mom’s condition continued to deteriorate, she became more and more unresponsive to us.

Her youngest granddaughter, five-year-old Emily, would sit with mom, hold her hand and sing lullabies to her.

Mom would grin, so we knew she was still conscious of her surroundings.

Kathy lost her battle Oct. 2, 2015 – three days before her 71st birthday.

With the help of the caring and compassionate care she received at Hospice Renfrew, she had outlived all initial expectations.

I was beginning to get very concerned for dad. I could see that the constant day-in, day-out care was draining him. By the summer of 2015, mom was back in the Ottawa hospital and dad was again living at my brother’s house.

By early August, the hospital could do no more for mom and was going to send her home again.

We knew that dad could no longer fulfill the role as her sole caregiver. Bedridden and needing two people to move her, she needed too much care. She needed professional round-the-clock care.

We explored our options and Hospice Renfrew seemed to best suit our needs.

Late in August of 2015, mom moved to Hospice Renfrew. During the first week, I saw the stress drain away in both mom and dad. Dad usually drove the hour home every night to sleep in his own bed and was back early the next morning, though on occasion he did take advantage of the pullout loveseat at mom’s bedside.

And mom seemed quite content. She had her own room that looked a lot like a ‘normal’ bedroom, complete with TV. She was able to lie in bed and look out her window at the birds, flower gardens and forest - just like at home.

Mom and dad watched game shows or baseball most evenings and our family was able to visit whenever we could, with no restrictions on visiting hours. I would sit and visit with mom while my children kidnapped their ‘Pa’ and escorted him around hospice.

They went for walks outside, played with the toys in the children’s play area and indulged in their all-time favourite activity (dad’s included): visiting the kitchen to ‘taste test’ some of the latest freshly baked treats hospice volunteers made certain were in ample supply.

I loved the fact that every resident had their own kitchen cupboard and fridge space. Dad was able to eat healthy meals regularly and we made sure that mom had some of her favourite foods handy.

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, April 21, 2016 19

Rebel shepherd to speak at Renfrew O’Brien Theatre a dead sheep in Kiddi’s field, and suspects the lethal and highly contagious disease scrapie.

As veterinary authorities arrive in the valley and decree drastic measures that may mean disaster for the entire region, the two men resolve to resist this incursion, each in his own distinctive way.

The O’Brien Theatre in Renfrew’s Film Group presents a special screening of the awardwinning Icelandic movie Rams on Monday, April 25 at 7:30 p.m., followed by a talk with sheep farmer Montana Jones.

FEUD

Rams masterfully mixes comedy and heartbreak in its portrait of an ancient, and endangered, way of life, as it tells the tale of two brothers, rival sheep farmers, whose decades-long feud is interrupted by disease and bureaucratic action that threatens to destroy centuries of tradition.

Despite the fact that they live on neighbouring sheep farms, Gummi (Sigurdur Sigurjónsson) and Kiddi (Theodór Júlíusson) have not spoken to one another in 40 years, their intermittent and grudging communications carried out via letters carried by Kiddi’s sheep dog.

Their rivalry reaches its height in the valley’s annual competition for best ram.

After once again losing the prize to the boastful, hard-living Kiddi, the stern and solitary Gummi spots

SHEEP FARMER

SUBMITTED

The movie Rams will be shown at the O’Brien Theatre on April 25, followed by a talk with a sheep farmer.

349 BArr Street

On Monday, April 25, following the evening screening of Rams, Peterborough sheep farmer Montana Jones will talk with the audience about her own experience, which parallels the film’s events.

Jones – an agricultural activist for the preservation of heirloom seeds and heritage breeds – kept a flock of heritage Shropshire sheep at her Wholearth Farmstudio near Peterborough.

Once one of the most popular breeds in North America, today there are only a few dozen Shropshire sheep in Canada.

In 2007 Jones sold one sheep to an Alberta farm.

Three years later, it tested positive for the degenerative livestock disease scrapie. Scrapie poses no health risks to humans, but can

have devastating impact on sheep and goats.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency ordered the immediate cull of Jones’s entire flock, in spite of the fact that no other sheep tested positive for the fatal infection.

In 2012, fearing for the future of Jones’ livestock, an organization calling itself the Farmers’ Peace Corps took more than 40 sheep into “protective custody” leaving only a note for the authorities.

The sheep were discovered several months later on a farm in Bruce County, and were immediately euthanized.

Jones is currently still facing legal charges over the disappearance of the sheep, including conspiracy, breach of quarantine and disobeying a regulatory order.

If convicted, she faces up to 12 years in jail and fines of $1.5 million. Jones will speak after the 7:30 p.m. screening on Monday, April 25.

The film will also show on Sunday, April 24 at 3:45 p.m. Film Group screenings are open to all for $10. A full film synopsis and schedule can be found at www. obrientheatre.com or call 613-4320866.

TIFFANY LEPACK/METROLAND

Marlene Lavallee, Barb Dickson, Judy Kunopaski, Sandy Miller and Val Miller enjoyed coffee and games at the Horton Coffee Club on Wednesday, April 13. The club runs every Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Coffee Club in Horton Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

The coffee is on every Wednesday in Horton.

The Horton Coffee Club has started up again after an absence for a couple years.

It runs every Wednesday at the Horton Community Centre, 1005 Castleford Rd. from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“We heard the need existed in the township,” said Val Miller, one of the organizers.

From 11 a.m. to noon the group walks and from noon to 1 p.m. lunch is served for $4.

Last week lunch was soup and bun and a bottomless cup of coffee is $1.

Marlene Lavallee thought the lunch was very good and enjoyed the afternoon.

“It was something different to do,” said Lavallee.

After lunch from 1 to 3 p.m. is games and a social time.

“It’s lot’s of fun, we have exercise, a good nutritious lunch and fellowship with friends and neighbours,” said Miller.

Barb Dickson encourages everyone to come out.

“It’s a fun social time and a chance to get other people out,” said Dickson.

They have card games, board games, puzzles and more.

“We are chatting and playing games and I am loving it,” said Miller.

“We have lots of games.”

Sandy Black came out two weeks in a row and describes the afternoon like a kitchen party with friends and neighbours.

“It’s always social, even when we are walking we are chatting,” said Black.

“It’s a chance to see each other.”

They are also looking to start a book nook to exchange books.

“We feel there’s a need for that,” said Miller.

The community centre also has a volunteer-run catering service for events that take place there.

“We do anniversary parties or funeral luncheons,” said Miller.

“It’s hot meals, casseroles, soups and more.”

All of the proceeds go to purchase major supplies needed in the kitchen.

For more information call Miller at 613-432-8390 or Helen Golden 613-432-2728 or Kathleen Rogers

Team Renfrew is made up of more than 60 athletes from the Renfrew and Pembroke communities. Each child was a member of a school team and chosen from a qualifying tournament held in March. Since that point, they have been dedicated to practising twice per week and working hard on the mats to fine tune their skills. It’s exciting as a parent to see these

UOV girls under 14A ringette team ranks fourth in the province The season keeps on getting better for Upper Ottawa Valley Ringette’s under 14A team.

They returned from the 2016 Ringette Provincial Championship ranked as the fourth best team in the province.

Going into the championship, the team was ranked sixth, so finishing fourth is a great accomplishment for our team, said head coach Shane

Lambert.

The UOV team was only one point away from playing in the medal round.

With a goal called back with three minutes to play in the game versus Gloucester, that game ended in a tie, and would prove to be the difference in making the bronze medal game.

Going into the championship, we knew it was

going to be a very difficult test for our team, but we held our own against the best teams in the province, Lambert said.

Our team came together after a slow start, and played better as the tournament progressed, he added.

Even though ringette is the ultimate team game, we did have a few individual player highlights, said Lambert.

OPP face off against OLF in hockey game On Thursday, March 10, Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School played a fun, community building game of hockey with members of the Ontario Provincial Police.

This hockey game has become an annual event, which has occurred since 2010. Originally, the hockey game was organized by Sgt. Terry McIntyre. It has since become an annual tradition, with funds raised going toward Sgt. Mc-

Intyre’s bursary at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School (SJHS).

Special thanks to members of SJHS Hockey Academy (Stacey McGregor and Mike McMahon); vice-principal of SJHS, Tony Jacyno; RCCDSB superintendent, Jaimie Perry; Grade 7 teacher Dan St. Michael, students from OLF who represented the school; and friends, relatives and members of the Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial

Police (Bruce Sawbridge, Mark Bennett, Chris Triemstra, Joe Roach, Phil Holmes, Pat Donahue, Kyle Mask, Curtis and Greg Sawbridge and Darin Chaplin) for a fun-filled afternoon.

“Sgt. Terry McIntyre would be proud that we have carried on the tradition of this wonderful community building event. We raised over $500 for the Terry McIntyre bursary at SJHS,” said a press release about the event.

Despite the snow, sleet and rain, the Golden Age Activity Centre (GAAC) held a Seniors Information and Active Living Health Fair on Thursday, March 24.

The fair was held in partnership with the Older Adult Centres Association of Ontario (OACAO) and sponsored by the Ontario Seniors Secretariat (OSS). Community health care partners, seniors’ organizations, government agencies and local businesses were represented at the fair. The morning began with a welcome from GAAC administrator/programmer Fay O’Reilly, who also brought greetings from MPP John Yakabuski, who was unable to attend due to parliament being in session.

In his message he congratulated the centre for hosting this event that provided opportunity for valued seniors to learn more about programs and services they are entitled too.

Lynn Clelland, 4-H leader, retired home economics teacher and former community food advisor with Renfrew County and District Health Unit discussed healthy eating and demonstrated a simple, healthy meal for the seniors. A third presentation was by comedian Jean McCarron of Arnprior.

This spry 86-year-old had the participants laughing at her jokes and humourous stories, a very healthy way to end the day. Throughout the day healthy snacks were offered and a lunch prepared by Sandy’s Deli was enjoyed by all. The Golden Age Activity Centre volunteers did an excellent job in presenting this fair for the seniors in the community. Hopefully the weather will be better next year.

32 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, April 21, 2016

Mary’s chores left a lasting impression Why I was singled out to churn the cream into butter every Saturday was beyond me! It was like all the other chores Mother thought suited someone of my young age.

Bringing in the wood to fill the wood box, making sure the basin under the icebox didn’t run over, and emptying the Gerry pots when needed, Mother deemed were all jobs I could handle.

But it was churning every Saturday that irked me the most. That was because it took most of the morning, when I could be doing other things I enjoyed more, like playing with my dolls, visiting with my friend Velma, or reading the one book I was allowed to take out of the Renfrew library.

As soon as my other chores were done, without saying a word, Mother handed me the big white pinny, which went from under my chin right down to dragging on the floor.

The little wood barrel would already be in front of a kitchen chair, with the wood plunger floating around on the cream inside. There was a round wood disc fitted on the top of the barrel, and the hole in the centre was larger in size than the plunger, which also caused me concern. Because once I started working the plunger up and down,

Mary Cook’s Memories Mary Cook

blobs of cream would escape, and it wasn’t unusual to have my apron, and even my face splattered.

I learned early at the job that sitting on a cushion helped keep my bottom from falling asleep from the constant movement on the kitchen chair, but nothing could save the ache I felt in my arms within minutes of churning. My arms were thin...in fact, my hateful brother Emerson once said they looked like sticks from the old gnarled tree in our back yard. And by the time only a few minutes had passed at the churning, I ached something fierce from shoulders right down to my fingertips.

The cream turned faster, I thought, if it had been well chilled before being put in the churn. And so in the winter, or early spring, the job didn’t take as long. But as the days got warmer, and the cream had been in the milk can overnight in the summer kitchen, it seemed to

CHEO CHEO

take forever to turn it into butter.

I once asked Mother how old I had to be to taken off the job, but she reminded me, since I was the youngest, it would be my chore for just about the rest of my life! And she patted me on the head, smiling, as if that would compensate. And I pictured in my mind being the only one left on the farm with my three brothers and sister all off to exciting jobs in far away places, and me left with the churning every Saturday.

I tried not to look at the ticking clock on the kitchen wall. Which, to me, moved at a snail’s pace.

And then, I would hear the sound of the plunger changing. No longer did the cream slosh against the sides of the churn. It got harder and harder to pound down the cream, and I would know the time had come to lift the wood disc, and peer inside. And there it would be, butter!

Mother would come and look inside and agree, the chore was over! She ladled it out into a big granite bowl, and put drops of yellow food colouring into it, stirring it well. The next job would be piling it into the wood mold to come up with pounds just like you could buy in Renfrew. Each pound was then wrapped in wax paper, ready to sell door to door in town. I was so stiff when I finished, I could hardly get off the chair, and my arms would ache well into the day. And I would go over to the creton couch by the cook stove and lay down and close my eyes, still wearing the big pinny and yet to wash my arms and face of the cream splatters. And for the longest time after I would hear in my head the steady plop of the plunger. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Show to feature display on architect of 19th century Renfrew buildings This year, the 43rd annual Bytown Antique Show, organized by the Bytown Antique and Bottle Club of Ottawa, combines an antique show and sale with a unique display highlighting the work of Moses Edey (1845-1919), a prominent Ottawa Valley architect of the late 19th century who designed several buildings in the town of Renfrew.

Between 1893 and 1901, Edey designed three major blocks of retail and office buildings in Renfrew. These were: a commercial set of buildings for Alexander Barnet on Main Street in 1893/94; a commercial block for Patrick Devine in 1893; and the Mackay block in 1896. He also designed a residence for Mayor John Mackay on Raglan Street South in 1900.

Born near Shawville, QC., and educated first as a carriage maker in Arnprior and then as an architect in the U.S., Edey was a gifted, hands-on architect who designed over 125 buildings, including the jewel of Lansdowne Park, the Aberdeen Pavilion, (more commonly known as The Cattle Castle) built under his supervision in 1898 for the Central Canada Exhibition.

Barry Padolsky, heritage consultant and architect, commented on the two key buildings in Canada’s capital designed by Edey: “Moses Chamberlain Edey was a gifted and prolific Ottawa architect who practiced at the dawn of 20th century modernism. His design for the Aberdeen Pavilion, a national historic site, endures as a dramatic steel structure

costumed in the apparel of an 17th century Italian cathedral. His design for the Daly building, inspired by the rising skyscrapers of Chicago, was Ottawa’s first modern building, sadly demolished by government misrule in 1991-1992.”

The Aberdeen Pavilion was restored in 1992 and in 2000 the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada chose it as one of the top 500 Canadian buildings of the last millennium. Edey designed The Daly Building, Ottawa’s first department store, the railway station in Aylmer, Quebec along with many other commercial, institutional and residential buildings in Ottawa and the Valley.

The display includes several original drawings of buildings, awards, hand tools, photographs of Edey and a scale “apprentice’s” model of a sleigh in wood and metal that he designed and built in 1865, at the age of 20.

This is the first time that most of this material has been on public display. Descendants of Edey will be on hand to discuss his life and achievements.

The show’s 50 dealers offer antiques with an emphasis on nostalgia, advertising, stoneware, bottles, vintage toys, folk art and other small collectibles. It is an excellent opportunity to see important antiques and collectibles from Ottawa’s past.

The show date is Sunday, April 24, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Nepean Sportsplex, 1701 Woodroffe Ave., in Ottawa. Admission is $5 for adults.

RRWG hosts successful variety show Tiffany Lepack

It was a celebration like no other, one to help bring neighbours together from across the ocean to Renfrew.

The Renfrew Refugee Welcome Group (RRWG) hosted A Celebration of Song and Dance Musical Variety Show on April 16 at Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church in Renfrew.

A large audience was encouraged to join together in the last song, ‘Come Together’ by the Beatles, which summed up what the afternoon was all about, .

“Come on people now, smile on your brother, everybody get together, try to love one another right now.”

The show was put together all by volunteers. The producer and director was Lawrence Mahusky, the producer and stage manager was Heather Sagmeister, the RRWG co-ordinator was Carolyn Edson and the stage manager was David Campbell.

Edson called the show fantastic.

“We couldn’t have asked for more,” said Edson.

She was very thankful for all the support they have received.

“I am deeply appreciative of everyone who helped put it all together,” said Edson.

“We’ve got performers that appeal to all age groups.”

She was also thankful for the 47 donors on the patron page.

“That says an awful lot about the kindness and generosity of the community,” said Edson.

A Celebration of Song and Dance Musical Variety Show was held at Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church on April 16, Danielle Vaillancourt sings during the show.

“These are all business people and local individuals. I am deeply appreciative to those who contributed to the patron page.”

The RRWG is a communitybased group supported by caring individuals and local churches who are working together to sponsor a Syrian family.

The event was a fundraiser to help the family. The exact amount raised was not known at press time, however the group has raised close to $40,000 already.

“The spirit of kindness, sympathy and generosity in our town is phenomenal,” said Edson. “We should be so proud of our town.”

The show opened with Mahusky with the Renfrew Children’s/Youth Chorus. He sang ‘Any Dream Will Do’ from the musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.

Many refugees are probably dreaming of what life is like away from their war-torn home.

Another fitting song performed

by Mike McCormick, Lisa Webber and James Hrkach and the choir was called ‘What if you were a Refugee?’

The song was written by Lynn Miles and the original version can be purchased on iTunes to support refugee causes.

Some of the other performers included Michelle’s School of Performing Arts, the Valley Harmonizers, the Presbyterian Choir, Hannah, Delaney and Caroline Holley, Danielle Vaillancourt, Christina Ouellet, Peggy Williams, Marie Buscomb, Jessica Belanger and Terri-Lynn Mahusky.

pain and Swelling “unexplainable!”

A friend of mine recently told me that he has had pain on the inside of his left calf now for a few weeks and it doesn’t let go. Ever since he also noticed that his lower left leg and ankle was visibly swollen. He said there was never a bruise, nor can he remember what he’d done to it. Yes he is very active, but he didn’t hit himself or fell over something, at least not as far as he can remember. He said: “Last week it was so bad that I went to emergency, thinking that it might come from my heart or SUBMITTED it being a clogged artery.” He was truly getting concerned that there was something bad going on as it wouldn’t light up and heal.

Carolyn spent many years with various Toronto based telecommunications companies and moved to London in 1989 following her marriage in 1988, where she continued working in the industry until early 2000.

She was the chief architect on a number of fronts – housing construction, design, interior decorating, and landscape design to name but a few. She was also the unofficial family diva on the shopping and fashion front, providing leadership and guidance to her surrogate daughters [nieces]. The cottage and boating were also a big part of her life as well as enjoying winter time in Florida in recent years. On June 9th there will be a celebration of life event hosted at the London Hunt and Country Club, 1431 Oxford Street West, London, from 4 to 6:30 pm; everyone is welcome to join her family to share your thoughts and memories of Carolyn. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions to the Alzheimer Outreach Services Subsidy Fund at McCormick Home would be greatly appreciated.

IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORIAM

OBST, Wanda - In memory of a dear, fun and loving sister and aunt, who was taken tragically in a car accident, April 23, 2003.

Time passes… our grief remains…

You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived.

You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left.

Your heart can be empty because you cannot see her, or you can be full of the love you shared.

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember her and only that she’s gone, or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back, or you can do what she’d want; Smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Forever in our hearts…

Deb, Doug and Erin

September 5, 1947 – April 25, 2014

Loving and devoted husband, father, and grandpa

They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal, But neither time nor reason Will change the way we feel.

For no one knows the heartache, That lies beneath our smiles, No one knows how many times, We have broken down and cried, We want to tell you something, So there won’t be any doubt, You’re so wonderful to think of, But so hard to live without.

Always in our hearts and thoughts, Love Bonnie, Shannon (Mike), Ryan (Heather), Matthew, Sierra and Aiden
