Santa Fe Southwestern Grill is one step closer to creating an outdoor patio at its 168 Raglan St. location in Renfrew. The expansion will mean two parking spots in front of the restaurant will be lost to make room for a walkway and railing that will move pedestrian traffic around the patio. Tuesday night (April 14) council passed a bylaw establishing an encroachment agreement with owner Tom Pappin to accommodate the patio and boardwalk at the four-year-old restaurant. Adding a patio means Santa Fe will be able to accommodate 18 more guests. The proposed patio is 24 feet wide with a depth of 12 feet running along the front of the restaurant.

“The extension of the patio would use the entire depth of the sidewalk and consequently, the owner is seeking to construct a walkway, level with the sidewalk, within the two onstreet parking spaces in front of the building,” explained town planner Ivan Burton. opposed

Coun. Kate Windle was the only member to vote against the bylaw, citing concerns about losing two of the already limited downtown parking spaces. “The worst thing we can do is reduce our parking by one, two or any number of parking spots,” said Windle, who added that on a recent Friday, she drove around for 20-30 minutes at noon, unable to find parking.

Santa Fe Southwestern Grill is one step closer to creating an outdoor patio at its 168 Raglan St. location in Renfrew after Tuesday night’s Renfrew council meeting.

Lost parking spots a concern Continued from front

“We lost three spots for the Scotiabank drivethru, we’ve lost more spots every time we’ve put in another crosswalk. I think there are probably better solutions,” said Coun. Windle. Other councillors echoed the concerns about lost parking spaces but Reeve Peter Emon said discussions are in the works for creation of up to three spots on Plaunt, which could offset this loss. The issue will be coming to development and works, said Emon. “In theory, there’s an additional one spot and in the winter months, an additional two,” he said. The Santa Fe patio will be seasonal and removed in the winter months. The Ministry of Transportation has no comments or objections and the Renfrew Business Improvement Area (BIA) is supporting the proposal. The development and works committee is interested in seeing the installation proceed on a trial basis, said Burton in his report. The chief building official has indicated the additional 18 guests meet the maximum load occupancy and said the design will need to demonstrate the proposed railing on the patio and walkway meet building code requirements. Owner comments

Pappin said he understands council’s concerns with regards to parking but the benefits far outweigh the negative impact. “We’re very happy that it passed,” said Pappin. “We understand they have some concerns moving forward but feel it’s going to do nothing but increase traffic in the downtown core on a regular basis.” Pappin said he has been in touch with Renfrew’s BIA and has the group’s full support. “Especially for this end of town, it does nothing but increase traffic for the other businesses,” he said. There are still several approvals required 2 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, April 23, 2015

before construction can begin so there is not a solid timeline in place for when the patio will open. “Ideally we would like to see it open in early June, if not mid-June,” said Pappin. “For us this is a long-term commitment and a substantial investment.” The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) requires a 28-day posting period to notify the public of the intent to expand and approvals are required from departments of health, business and fire. “We’ve seen positive indications from all those departments,” said Pappin. “As far as where we’re at with the process, we’ve got the engineer drawings that have been approved and the building department has to approve construction,” said Pappin. Insurance approvals will also need to be obtained. The patio does have to be removable and will be in place each year from mid-April to the end of September. “We’ll do it in sections,” explained Pappin. “It has to meet the grade of the sidewalk.” The town can look at the Santa Fe patio for consideration of similar future projects. “I’m of the opinion if ours works, I would like to see other restaurants on main street do it, too,” said Pappin. He does agree with Coun. Windle that parking downtown is an issue. “I completely understand her perspective,” he said. The removal of parking meters has certainly helped, he said, but more needs to be done. Although Royal Bank has a parking lot behind its Raglan Street location, there’s a constant flow of clients using the spaces in front for short-term parking. “There needs to be some sort of way to police who is parking where and when,” said Pappin. “I don’t know what the answer is but it’s something they need to look at.”

Paul Harris Fellowship for Sister Joan Renfrew, Greater Madawaska sign shared recreation services agreement Renfrew Rotary Club

Greater Madawaska joins Horton, Admaston-Bromley townships Sherry Haaima

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

R0023191231

The Town of Renfrew and the Township of Greater Madawaska are partners in recreation. April 14, Renfrew council passed a bylaw confirming a shared recreation services agreement between the two municipalities. Since November 2013, the town has been working in partnership with Greater Madawaska, Bonnechere Valley and North Algona Wilberforce on an Ontario Sport and Recreation Community Fund grant. In early 2015, Renfrew recreation director Kevin Hill approached the three townships regarding a partnership beyond the end of the grant, which was March 31, 2015. “Greater Madawaska saw the value in partnering with the Town of Renfrew so the two mayors and the CAO and myself worked together and came up with the agreement,” said Hill.

The other two townships are exploring other partnership options. Renfrew already has recreation service agreements with the townships of Horton and AdmastonBromley. Before Greater Madawaska signed the $21,000, one-year agreement, the township hosted public information sessions to gather feedback. Effective April 1, Greater Madawaska residents are permitted to participate in activities and programs and use all facilities, just as a resident of Renfrew can. The agreement includes support and assistance provided in planning, organizing and implementation of recreation services and programs. Greater Madawaska will pay $21,000 (plus HST) annually plus associated staffing costs, including mileage, training, cell phone, etc. There is an option to renew the agreement after the year is up. “We’re excited with the oppor-

Braeside

tunity of working with our neighbours and providing recreation to our rural neighbours,” said Hill. Renfrew is in talks with McNabBraeside’s recreation department in the hopes of coming up with a similar agreement, said Hill. “It would prove beneficial for both the towns and the townships,” he said.  Reeve Peter Emon congratulated Hill on the agreement and said it’s unfortunate the other communities didn’t recognize the long-term benefits. “It makes sense to continue that relationship,” said Emon. “It’s proven to be a model that serves both communities well.” Mayor Don Eady echoed the reeve’s comments. “Any time we can share services with other municipalities, the people of this area are all the winners,” said Eady. Hill will join local officials to present the shared service model to delegates at the Eastern Ontario Economic Development Conference in Kingston in September.

Applications open for vacant Greater Madawaska council seat Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Greater Madawaska Township will be accepting applications for the recently vacated second council seat in Ward 1. The seat became vacant after first-year councillor Nicole Guthrie failed to file her financial statements with CAO Allison Holtzhauer by 2 p.m. March 27. The penalty is forfeiture from office as per Section 80(2) of the Elections Act. Council discussed its two options April 14; hold a by-election or appoint a councillor. The latter is the route they have taken. “Once we advertise, then we’ll open up the doors to everybody to apply,” Mayor Glenda McKay said. That includes Don Mercer and JR Easton, who came up short in their campaigns to run for a seat in Ward 1 last October, and John Pratt. Pratt lost to McKay in the race for mayor but could apply for the vacant council position if he chose to.

The clerk will give notice of council’s decision by advertising in local newspapers and on the township’s website. Interested parties must file by Tuesday, May 5 at 4 p.m. Council will then discuss all applications behind closed doors. The vacancy doesn’t necessarily have to be filled by a Ward 1 resident, but they must own property in the township. Guthrie was elected, along with incumbent Brian Hunt to Ward 1 during the October 2014 municipal election. FOUR-HOUR WORKDAYS

Council has approved the public works department to once again move to a four-day work week from the first Monday in May to the first Monday in September. The work week will comprise of four 10.5-hour days from the normal five-day work week. “This has been done in the past,” public works manager Jamie Doering said. The four-day work policy

was first passed by council in 2013, and amended last year. Doering must bring a report to council in March each year for approval. The revamped hours save on fuel, mobilization and demobilization costs, Doering said. The summer hours do not apply to transfer station attendants, the custodian or public works clerk. FREE WASTE DAY

Township residents should mark Saturday, June 20 on their calendars. It will be a free waste day at all three Greater Madawaska municipal waste sites – Norway Lake, Griffith and Mount St. Patrick. “It’s a bit of an incentive for people to clean up their yards,” Doering said. Construction and demolition waste, appliances with ozone depleting products (fridges, freezers, etc.) and propane tanks can be brought in at no charge. These items are on the fees and charges schedule, Doering

added. Household waste and other items that the township does not charge for, will still be accepted on that day. The municipality has held free waste days in the past. EARTH DAY

The municipality honoured Earth Day yesterday (April 22). Garbage bags, gloves and safety vests were offered in all three wards to any groups or individuals wanting to improve their community’s environment. Public works picked up the full garbage and recycling bags later in the day. Calabogie St. Joseph’s School students were a big part of this initiative last year. The cost to the township is about $250. “It is an initiation to clean up the municipality in all three wards,” Doering said.

plained. Calabogie MotorSports acknowledged that noise levels may exceed this limit, but will be kept at 65 dBA or lower. Testing is done at these events, Cekic said. The exemption on the noise bylaw allowing up to 65 decibels will cover the hours of 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on each of the 13 days covering the four events.

Renfrew student heads to public speaking finals URBAN to Zone competition held on March 7 at Branch 353 Eganville.

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

It’s been 17 years since a Renfrew student has performed this well in Legion public speaking. The Renfrew Legion’s youth education committee is pleased to report Queen Elizabeth Public School primary student Lily Emon recently won the area first-place plaque to qualify for the provincial grand finale in Sault Ste. Marie on May 2. “This is great news for Renfrew and Queen Elizabeth Public School,” said the committee in a press release. With the topic ‘How to be Mischievous,’ Lily placed first at the Renfrew branch competition in early February, advancing

Her advice for public speaking success? “You have to know how to use a loud voice, look like you’re having fun with it, don’t rush through it, make sure your words are clear and pronounce the ends of your words very clearly,” said Lily. Along with her public speaking endeavours, Lily also enjoys basketball, gymnastics, art, piano and bowling. Speakers from neighbouring communities were also successful and earned a spot at the upcoming finals. In the junior division, Owen Schison of Bonnechere Valley placed first and in the senior division, David Bell of Whitewater Region finished first. See Lily’s photo on the front page of this paper.

First place finishes

The Grade 3 student placed first at the Zone competition and advanced to the District competition held also in Eganville March 28. She once again placed first and on April 11 travelled to Branch 314 Manotick to compete in Eastern Ontario Finals. Lily is the daughter of Renfrew County Warden and Renfrew Reeve Peter Emon and Renfrew Country District School Board official Alanna Emon. She’s taking the whole thing in stride. “I’m feeling a bit nervous but also I’m really excited at the same time,” she said.

QUIT SMOKING * LOSE WEIGHT * REDUCE ANXIETY

The stories we hear are truly heart wrenching and remind us every day why we are bringing The New You Tour to the public this Spring. Each night I have an opportunity to hear a few stories that may help some of you, who want to quit smoking and are considering hypnosis now. So whether it’s to Stop Smoking for GOOD, lose weight, reduce anxiety, boost confidence, let go of the past, and more, this event is for you and those you care for. “By partnering with SickKids, we’re helping” people lead healthier, happier lives. By experiencing this inspiring evening of fun and hypnosis, you will create a better life for yourself and for those you care for, all in a natural, healthy way. There is a good reason why most ways to quit smoking and lose weight do NOT have good long-term results, while my sessions and audio downloads provide success rates that are over the moon...for life.” The NewYouTour.com has been very well received across Ontario, and is working with many organizations to encourage the public to participate in the ‘Evening Out with Matt Bloom’ events.

“We are so grateful to the many people who have contributed to our Tour so far. Many local venues and organizations are participating with us to make the Tour possible. Is hypnosis safe? Very. Hypnosis is not an altered state of consciousness (as sleep is, for example), but simply a relaxed experience of consciousness, which is brought about by using suggestion to re-configure the properties of the imagination. And anything that can be imagined can be un-imagined just as easily. Even the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) refers to hypnosis as “The quickest and most effective way to make behavioral changes.” TheNewYouTour.com rolls into Renfrew on Monday, April 27 at The Rocky Mountain House.

The April 2 Renfrew Mercury story ‘New Renfrew insurance business big on small town service’ contained an error. Robin Postma is semi-retired but has remained on as an account executive with Brokerlink and also is continuing to do retirement and estate planning. The Renfrew Mercury apologizes for the error.

Users will see some increases in fees for recreation services and programs in the Town of Renfrew this year. Some of the increases are part of a three-year, phased-in hike that was presented to user groups last year. The parks and recreation department completed a thorough review of fees for service in 2014, explained recreation director Kevin Hill in a report to council April 14. Until 2014, recreation centre rates hadn’t been changed since 2000 and Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre fees hadn’t changed since 2008. Proposed rates are based on the average fees charged in the Ottawa Valley, say officials, and many are subject to a three-year phase in, with 2015 being the second year. Sports fields will see an annual increase of $1 per hour. Rec centre and other rates will see a three per cent or $1 per hour increase. The increase in ice rental rates was a three-year, phased-in process. “Adult rates are increasing three per cent annually, youth rates and junior hockey rates slightly more than that,” said Hill. Minor hockey and Junior B rates

are increasing approximately $6 per hour over three years. These changes were discussed with officials last year. Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre hall rental rates will stay the same for another year. There were substantial increases at the Bodyworx Fitness Centre last year so there will be no increases this year. “When we did the assessment and evaluation of the rates we took all municipalities in Renfrew County and reviewed what they were charging for all rates,” said Hill. “We took an average of what everyone was charging. We wanted to make sure we were close to average. From a staff perspective, I feel we provide an above average service, so charging an average rate is what we consider a fair price.”

Local graduation rates appear to be close to the provincial average. The provincial education ministry reported April 1 a five-year graduation rate of 84 per cent and a four-year graduation rate of 76 per cent in Ontario. It is the first time the province has published boardby-board graduation rates. In response, the Renfrew County public school board issued a news release saying it’s pleased to announce the local graduation rates for this cohort as an 85 per cent five-year graduation rate and 74 per cent for the four-year graduation. In its news release, the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board noted its graduation rate for secondary students closely matched the provincial average in 2014. The Catholic board’s five-year graduation rate was 85 per cent, a touch above the provincial average, while its four-year rate was 75 per cent, just below the provincial average. The province calculated the 2014 graduation rate based on the 2009-2010 cohort of students, which includes those who entered Grade 9 that year. At the Renfrew County Catholic board the calculation includes students who successfully completed their Ontario Secondary School Diploma in either four or five years and students who moved from the board to another system. Stu-

dents who left the province are beyond the board’s ability to track. “This data will form part of our ongoing improvement planning,” said board chair Bob Michaud. “We offer solid instructional practice for all students and alternative education opportunities for those who may not thrive in a traditional classroom setting. As a Catholic school board, our focus is on nurturing the giftedness of each individual and encouraging our students to reach their best potential, while respecting the dignity and worth of all those around us,” Michaud said. Director of education Michele Arbour added: “Everyone in our board –from school trustees to administrators, principals, teachers and support staff – works as a team to provide a safe, caring and respectful environment to support student success and well-being, close gaps in individual learning and increase public confidence in our school system. “We will continue to strive for our students’ success by providing extensive professional development to our teachers and the latest in e-learning classroom technologies, as well as innovative special education and alternative learning programs that are based on best practices to respond to each of our students’ specific needs,” she said. The public board’ says it “recognizes and celebrates the educational pathways

of all students” and is pleased to have 93 per cent of the 2009-2010 cohort of students reaching their educational goals of an OSSD, and Ontario Secondary School Certificate (OSSC) or Certificate of Achievement, or continuing to engage in educational opportunities within a secondary school in Ontario. “Through our Student Success, Special Education and Alternative and Continuing Education programs we are attentive to all students needs and have programs and strategies in place to support students in realizing success in a variety of pathways including the OSSC and Certificate of Achievement,” said the board’s student success leader Jacqueline Poirier. “Our Specialist High Skills Major, expanded cooperative education and experiential learning programs within secondary schools support student engagement and learning opportunities for all. The Renfrew County District School Board continues to work together to create outstanding educational experiences that honour the uniqueness of each individual.” The percentage of students graduating in four years is 76 per cent, an increase of 20 percentage points since 2004 (56 per cent). Since 2004, about 163,000 more students have graduated than would have if the graduation rate had remained at the 2004 level.

Council has approved a number of grants for local organizations. Included in the approved funding are: $200 to the Rotary Club Music Festival; $250 to Hike for Hospice; $1,800 to Renfrew and Area Seniors Home Support; $750 to the Lions Club Santa Parade; $100 to Renfrew County Senior Games; $1,000 to Golden Age Seniors Centre; and $500 to the staff Christmas party. “Every one of these organizations are a tremendous benefit to the Town of Renfrew,” said Mayor Don Eady.

Council recognized April 1218 as Volunteer Week. “I, Mayor Eady, Town of Renfrew, do hereby proclaim April 12-18 as National Volunteer Week, and urge my fellow citizens to recognize the crucial role

Council endorsed a Township of Madawaska Valley resolution calling on Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne and the province to take immediate action to deal with crippling hydro rate increases. “The Township of Madawaska Valley recognizes the struggle that many of its ratepayers in our rural area are experiencing with rising hydro rates and feels that, as a collective of municipalities, we must let our voices be heard to the province,” said the correspondence. “Similar to many municipalities in Ontario, we have an aging community, many on a fixed income, who have a decreasing ability to make ends meet.” High hydro rates are making industrial and commercial growth difficult and are preventing younger families from relocating to rural communities, say officials. “It makes a lot of sense and at some point Hydro One, OPG and the board that has responsibility for rates will have to attend to this,” said Reeve Peter Emon.

EDITORIAL

Put your heart into hospice The countdown is on for one of the community’s most beloved fundraising ventures. The 2015 Hike for Hospice will be held Sunday, May 3, leaving from Stewart Park at the Renfrew Presbyterian Church grounds on Raglan Street. The hike along Renfrew’s Millennium Trail is the ideal chance to do your heart some good, in more ways than one. First, your participation will support a facility that has become a cornerstone of the Renfrew and area community, reflecting a rich heritage of caring for others through all stages of life, and even into death. A dedicated team worked hard to make Hospice Renfrew a reality, and the walk is as much a tribute to them as to the people served by hospice. But participation will do more than warm your heart – it will strengthen it as well. Spring is the perfect time to shake off the cobwebs of

It is also the perfect time to reflect upon and appreciate all the wonderful services Renfrew has to offer, like Hospice Renfrew. The hospice provides three types of care: end-of-life care; pain and symptom management, on a short-stay basis, with the goal of returning home; and palliative respite care to provide caregiver relief for up to 14 days, depending on bed availability. Care is provided around the clock by a skilled team of registered nurses, personal support workers, the attending physician, and trained support volunteers.

Volunteers are leading social change and impacting communities around the world. Every year during National Volunteer Week, we have the opportunity to celebrate their efforts and contributions. People across our region give their time to various initiatives, serving on boards, and pitching in to help raise funds for various organizations. These volunteers quietly and cheerfully give their time and energy, enabling local organizations working in the social services, environment, sports or culture sectors to deliver services that help boost our quality of life. I want to take this opportunity to thank my fellow volunteers at the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF), an agency of Government of

In fact, there are teams of volunteers in 16 regions across the province. Their hard work is critical to OTF’s work and its ability to help charitable and non-profit organizations build healthier and more vibrant communities. The impact of OTF volunteers does not stop there. OTF investments create a ripple effect of volunteerism across the province.

OPINION

The Renfrew Trinity-St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church United Church 460 Raglan St. S.

Where is the funding for Highway 417? To the editor:

it should have been stipulated during presentation of the business case. At a meeting of the County Operations Committee, on January 12, 2015, a resolution was discussed in which the County would request that once the 4 lane extension to Renfrew was completed, the Province commence the 4-lane expansion of HWY 417 Eastward from North Renfrew. Councillor Donohue and Councillor Kingsbury were opposed to that change, fearing it would interfere with the current plan for 417. I am grateful that these gentlemen were present, saw fit to leave the original resolution intact, and apparently had an impact on the Committee’s decision to support their point of view. In an article in the Pembroke Observer on Jan. 16, 2015, concern was expressed that there would not be enough money allocated to this area to focus on both ends of the expansion now. I believe that is a valid concern. On Jan. 28, 2015, the County stated that priority should be given to fourlaning to Renfrew. Bob Sweet requested that the motion be pulled until the Committee could study his Petawawa proposal further. I assume the decision will be revisited, and that some serious lobbying is taking place. I know that there are details that ordinary citizens like me are not aware of – but I hope that there is official support for the continuation of the expansion past Renfrew without further delays, and without diversion of vital funding to the northern end of the County. It is so close to us that it would be a shame if the Provincial support we are usually allocated, is now cut in half to satisfy the Petawawa approach, or worse – we receive no funding because the Province perceives we really don’t know what we want. Did anyone really believe

that there was a possibility that the dollar amount would likely be doubled to allow both ends of the project to proceed at the same time?!? It worries me that more public support from the Town of Renfrew is not evident. Is there a reason why Renfrew business leaders and elected officials

are mum on this issue? We need to send a strong message to Queen’s Park to dispel the notion that we are divided on this issue. Renfrew really needs the economic boost that the highway expansion is expected to generate. Gail Cole Renfrew

I am concerned that the Province has apparently not yet committed funding for the continuation of the four-laning of Highway 417 past Scheel Drive. Renfrew has been waiting many years for this development and the economic benefits which are expected to follow. Of course, I have no involvement in the activities surrounding this important initiative and am relying mainly on information reported on the Internet by various sources (e.g. Pembroke Daily Observer, Insideottawavalley.com, Renfrew County website meeting minutes). Apparently, in October 2013 County Council presented a solid business case (as requested by the Minister) to the Province supporting the Accelerated Expansion of Highway 417 – and requesting that it be included in the Province’s five-year plan. Reports suggest that it was very well received, although no word of concrete action has been announced yet. Subsequently, in November 2014, the Town of Petawawa sent a request to the Premier of the Province to “consider commencement of the four lane expansion of Highway 17 eastward from North Renfrew to meet westward construction when it eventually reaches the midpoint of the corridor near Cobden.” A copy of the letter was also sent to the Northern Municipalities in the county seeking their support. Not surprisingly, several of these northern Municipalities do support the idea. In my view, the addition of this new approach only a year after presentation of the business case, and before any decision has been divulged by the Provincial authorities, dilutes the strong message promoted in that document, and gives the appearance of a County divided. If that plan was most appropriate for the area, then

Cycling advocates state their case No longer manning booth to Minister of Transportation at Renfrew farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; market

Cycling advocate Ish Theilheimer has written to Steven Del Duca, Minister of Transportation, on behalf of a group of active cyclists and advocates for Active Transportation, out of concern over planned rehabilitation work on provincial Highway 41 from Highway 60 north to Highway 17 outside Pembroke. Theilheimer is founder of Bike Renfrew County and is secretary of the Active Transportation Working Group, Physical Activity Network of Renfrew County â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rehabilitation is long overdue, and many tragic collisions have occurred on this road, so the rehabilitation should proceed as quickly as possible,â&#x20AC;? the letter says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, there are no accommodations for cyclists or other forms of active transportation in the planned rehabilitation, and, in fact, some of the planned work will make things worse for cyclists than ever,â&#x20AC;? Theilheimer says. The letter notes that Highway 41 is Renfrew Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only north-south provincial highway and a natural connecting route for cycle tourists and commuters going between the Eganville/Golden Lake and Pembroke/Petawawa areas. It links the Bonnechere River corridor on Highway 60 with

the Ottawa River corridor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, this stretch of the highway is a menace to travel on a bicycle due to many curves and heavy traffic. The obvious danger discourages cyclists and puts them at risk when they exercise their right to use the highway. Theilheimer quotes page 9 of the MTOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current policy on Active Transportation infrastructure: â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the Ministry plans infrastructure projects for future funding either constructing new provincial highways or rehabilitating existing provincial highways it will evaluate on a case- bycase basis whether the addition of a cycling component is warranted based on outlined criteria and whether it can be accommodated without substantially altering the scope of the project. Priority will be given to projects that could form part of a province-wide cycling network, and have no viable alternative route.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very strong case for Highway 41 being seen as significant, given this policy, yet no consideration for cycling appears to have been given in planning the current project. To make matters worse, the plans call for the northernmost six kilometers to include a â&#x20AC;&#x153;rumble strip.â&#x20AC;? These strips warn drivers when

theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going off the road, but they are almost impossible and unsafe - for cyclists to negotiate. The half-meter-wide hard shoulder planned in the designated area is not wide enough for safe cycling with a rumble strip in place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the very least, MTO staff should review the plan for a rumble strip and consult with local people regarding sections of the highway that pose the biggest safety risks for Active Transportation and ways to mitigate the risks,â&#x20AC;? says Theilheimer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With all this in mind, we urgently ask you, as Minister, to have your staff review plans for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rehabilitation work on Highway 41 in consultation with local Active Transportation advocates so as to ensure safety of all users.â&#x20AC;? The letter to Minister of Transportation Del Duca is also signed by Ottawa River Institute president Ole Hendrickson, Bonnechere Caves owner-operator Chris Hinsperger, Active Transportation Working Group, Physical Activity Network of Renfrew County co-chair and owneroperator of GearHaeds Damien McCarthy, and Active Transportation Committee, Physical Activity Network of Renfrew County volunteer Ron Moss.

To the editor:

THE SMOKER

To Renfrew and Area Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market Patrons: Due to conditions beyond my control (aging?) I no longer will be manning a stall at the market. I wish to take this opportunity (thank you Mercury) to express my appreciation to all you regular and loyal supporters who, weekin, week-out in the heat the cold, the rain, broguht your cheery, smiling greetings as well as your patronage. I would also like to thank my fellow marketers who were all so co-operative and quick to help each other, myself in particular, too even drive me home after setting up when I forgot something, such as the till. Some 10 years ago I penned a few lines, that every year since, I derive some pleasure re-reading the first time I go to the bee yard in the spring. I wish to share them with you.

When smoke gets in your eyes Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dressed in white... Your hire tool is aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;strumming. When smnoke gets in your eyes The sky is blue... The bees they are aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;humming. When tears are in your eyes Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re signs of joy... The flowers are abounding. When smoke gets in your eyes Give Thanks. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a land og Milk and Honey! Bob Bouchard Renfrew

NOT ENOUGH HOMES FOR CATS AND DOGS

Ontario Arts Council grant process explained Kate Windle

Carmen Goold, regional advisor for the Ministry of Tourism and Culture, hosted a meeting at Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre March 26. She invited Janice Lambrakos, information service coordinator for the Ontario Arts Council (OAC), to present to individuals and groups from all over Renfrew County. Renfrew County Community Futures Development Corporation executive director Diane McKinnon and her team organized an excellent information and workshop session. The event was hosted by the Renfrew County Economic Development Office. Goold expressed the need

for interested groups and individuals to apply for available grants. She stressed the fact that Renfrew County is mostly underfunded due to a lack of qualifying applications. Lambrakos spoke about that process and how it takes time but the effort is worth it. She asked those in attendance to apply to become jurors and advisors for the OAC. She agreed the application process takes time and energy, on both the applicant and those who read them, but the strict reporting guidelines are necessary. The grants programs are intended to help those who are selling their work and making an income. There were over 500 submissions in the music category alone last year.

Information on applying for these grants or for becoming a juror or advisor, is well documented on the Ontario Arts Council website and all forms are downloadable in a pdf. format. Deadlines for applying are posted for each of the programs and all grants must be accompanied by a financial plan and follow-up report. All relevant information can be found at www.arts.on.ca or info@arts.on.ca If you do not have or use a computer, the Renfrew Public Library Staff will assist you in garnering the information. Paper applications can be requested from the Toronto office of the Ontario Arts Council by emailing them or calling 1-800-387-0058.

This cat should have been spayed. Spaying/Neutering prevents the births of cats and dogs for whom no homes can be found. In Canada, tens of thousands of cats and dogs are put to death annually in pounds and shelters because there are not enough homes for them. And how many more die on the streets from sickness, injury and starvation? PLEASE SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR ANIMALS.

2015 11

Family grateful for outstanding care at Hospice Renfrew Connie Farquharson was an active, talented and fun-loving woman whose charm and sense of humour could light up a room. She was our mom. At the age of 19, she married dad and together they raised five children on a farm in Admaston township. Mom was an incredible support for her family and friends. She was always willing to lend a hand, bake pies, and was there when you needed her. Dad passed away in 2000. In 2006, Mom moved into an apartment in Renfrew. She enjoyed playing cards, dancing, knitting, embroidery, baking, reading and traveling. In 2012, she was diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis. This devastating disease caused her lungs to become inflamed and scarred, reducing her ability to breathe. Over time, Mom was unable to leave her apartment and take part in the many activities she enjoyed. Due to extensive support from family, friends, Community Care Access,

Medi-Gas and her family doctor, she was able to stay in her home as long as she could. In April 2014, Mom made the decision to go to Hospice Renfrew, which would be her home for her final three months. Under the exceptional care of Dr. Langlois, the wonderful staff and volunteers, Mom’s pain management was controlled and she was made to feel right at home. Having such a beautiful facility with a homey atmosphere - (a large kitchen and dining room where family could gather, and a living room with a toy box for the grandchildren) enhanced the experience for everyone involved. She had a beautiful spacious room with a picture window. She enjoyed watching the deer, squirrels, birds and other wildlife meander outside. The volunteers thoughtfully planted her flowers just outside of her window where she could watch them bloom. While in Hospice, Mom kept a small journal. She recorded the events of each day and this gave us

some insight into the little things that meant the most to her. She wrote about times when she couldn’t sleep, so she had french toast with one of the nurses. She made a couple of requests for special treats and she wasn’t let down. From snacking on cinnamon buns to Chuck bringing her a fish, her heart was constantly warmed by the thoughtful gestures of the people who make Hospice such a special place. In her book, she even recorded who won the nightly hockey game. She wrote about how she enjoyed the luxuries of having her nails painted and her feet rubbed. She enjoyed sitting outside in the sun for 2 ½ hours. She loved having visits from volunteers, family and friends. The staff helped to arrange for Mom to play cards with her friends and go home to her apartment on four separate occasions. All of these efforts did not go without notice. Mom treasured each and every day that she had while at Hospice. As busy as the staff at Hospice are, they always had time for our family. With five children, ten grandchildren

and nine great grandchildren, the staff welcomed our large family as we gathered to spend our last moments with our mom. Her sisters both travelled a great distance to be with her, and they were welcomed no matter what time of day they arrived. Mom passed away on July 21, 2014 surrounded by love and family. Our family is so grateful for the outstanding care that Mom received. Her wonderful wit and sense of humour touched the staff and volunteers. Her memory will be treasured by the small stone that her name graces on the memorial display at Hospice. As a tribute to the fine care that Hospice Renfrew offers, our family will proudly participate in Hike for Hospice this year. We will be the ones making up “Connie’s Crew”.

time their run. Running groups and teams are encouraged to participate. Every participant will be given a draw ticket for a 51-inch Samsung plasma TV donated by Al Utronki Appliances and TV Centre. There will also be a prize for the team with the highest team pledge amount. This is a major fundraiser for Hospice Renfrew and this year the goal is to raise $65,000. Every dollar raised stays in the community to directly offset operational costs of the hospice and allow comprehensive end-of-life care to families across Renfrew County, including the Arnprior area, completely free of charge. Hospice Renfrew is working to ensure more Canadians, especially in Renfrew County, receive the end-of-life care they and their families need. Hike for Hospice Palliative Care pledge forms are available at the RBC in Renfrew and from the Hospice Renfrew office at 459 Albert St.

Earth efforts The Renfrew Collegiate Intermediate School Grade 7 class taught by Mandy Inglis-Herron and Gayle

Corbin has been focusing on the environment and how to protect it. Students have written letters, essays and articles to highlight the cause. A selection of their work can be seen below and at right.

Think twice about over consumption To the editor:

Teacher Gayle Corbin, Max Cavanaugh, Alec McCallum, Jenna Gorra, Brodie Bennett, and student teacher Erika Crozier show off the bulletin board created to highlight the Grade 7 class’ environmental efforts.

An open letter to members of the community. We want you to stop over consuming. Over consumption means we are using too many resources and buying too stuff. If this continues, we are going to kill the environment and us. We need to reduce our plastic use and food consumption. We should be more resourceful of our food and resources. Once we do this we will stop the killing the environment. Let’s start thinking about what we already have. Often we think we need more than we really do and forget to think about those who don’t have what we already do have. Please think twice before buying more stuff...think twice about the future. Sincerely, Max Cavanaugh

15 ways you can be a better recycler Spencer Brownell

1. You can reduce waste by using plastic containers not the plastic bags. 2. You can reuse your coffee grains and use it for your garden. 3. You can recycle glass, cans, metal, paper, and plastic. 4. You can also recycle furniture, electronic equipment, building material, and vehicles. 5. You could also compost fruits, vegetables plant clippings and leftovers. 6. Instead of using grocery store plastic bags bring your own reusable bags.

7. Buy products that are made from recycled or organic material. 8. Try to not buy hazardous material. 9. Keep a recycle bin in your home so you won’t forget to use it. 10. You can recycle materials into furniture. 11. You can make plastic bottles or milk jugs into a bird feeder. 12. You can compost materials for your garden. 13. You can make flowers with recycled plastic. 14. Use both sides of printer paper. 15. Spread the word! Make a pledge to increase recycling and decrease waste. Information from: recycling-guide.org

The problem with plastic Alena Kutsera

Have you ever wondered where all the plastic goes? There are piles of garbage in the ocean that are bigger than 20 football fields! Well, all this pollution is coming from us. We pollute the ocean with oil spills, not recycling enough, and over consuming. Shipping businesses pollute the ocean by accident with oil and fuel. These spills are costly and are difficult to clean up. We need to stop ocean pollution because it’s killing marine animals, affecting our health, and it kills coral reefs. Did you know that our waste is killing marine animals? According to wwf.panda.org, small pieces of plastic are mistaken for food by animals. Many seals and penguins have choked from plastic six pack rings. I bet you didn’t know that one million seabirds and 300,000 dolphins die from getting caught in old fishing nets. People don’t realize that we are responsible for this pollution. Do you really want to kill all those helpless animals? We are polluting the water with our own waste. When we pollute

the water we are directly affecting ourselves. By eating the seafood and drinking the water we are affecting our own health. A website called www.conserveenergy-future.com says that some sea animals contain toxics that are poisonous and then we eat them! When we drink the water there are chemicals in it that can harm us. When you go to the beach and go for a relaxing swim you don’t realize that you are actually swimming in your own garbage. It can cause rashes and you can cut yourself on glass, which is not safe. So think twice when you go to a beach or eat seafood. Ask yourself, do I really know what’s in this, is this water really clean? “Man, these coral reefs look so beautiful!” They were beautiful once, but now they are dying because of our garbage. Coral reefs are colorful plants that are homes to about 25 per cent of marine life. Think of them as the rainforest of the oceans. From not enough sunlight to poisoning them, they are dying. When our plastic floats on the top of the water or covers the plants they don’t get

enough sunlight and die, or they die from all the chemicals that get dumped in the ocean and it poisons them. So do you really want to kill those coral reefs or do you want to bring them back to their full beauty? action needed

If we don’t stop ocean pollution than all the marine animals will die, we will get very sick, and the coral reefs will die. If we keep going down the same path then we may have no more oceans or seafood to eat. We need to stop this catastrophe before it gets worse! Can you imagine dried up oceans, garbage every where, dead fish lying everywhere, and no more coral reefs! Some things we can do to save the oceans is recycle, buy less plastic products, reuse, and use reusable water bottles instead of plastic water bottles. If we all do our part then we can save the ocean. Bibliography - wwf.panda.org - www.conserve-energy-future.com - The world counts. com - www.ecokids.ca

RCI students look to lead

RCI students, Vanessa Johnston and Mitchell Hanniman, share the change through the conference’s social media station. Kaitlyn Beimers/Submitted

Taylor Virgin

RCI’s social changemakers travelled to Kemptville on Wednesday, April 8 for a conference on equity and inclusion. Grade 9 to 12 students who demonstrated leadership within the school attended The Harmony Movement’s presentation. Students learned about current world social justice issues, learned what they could do to help change the problems, and learned how to make a safer and more accepting community, both locally and globally. The topics ranged from challenging social norms to discrimination throughout history. “What we see most of the time is what we tend to think is normal, but it’s not always reality,” keynote speaker, Rima Dib, explained. “Just because we see something more often it doesn’t mean it is the only normal.” Besides listening to powerful

speeches, students took part in a variety of activities, including group sessions where they learned about the importance of being an advocate for their problems, as well as standing as an ally for their peers’ problems. “I think it’s important to have these conversations because change can’t happen without it,” said Harmony Movement project officer, Caitlin Wood. “Change is what is necessary when we look around our schools, community, and our country.” RCI students also engaged in a game that challenged their knowledge of what they had learned, which also showed them that not everyone

has the same privileges. The day was full of important information, and everyone brought home new ideas on how to change the school, the community, and the world.   “I came to realize how tolerant this generation is,” said teacher supervisor, Adam Noack. “We still have a long way to go but today’s leaders are a lot more open-minded, and we are leaning towards a more diverse, multicultural society.” The Harmony Movement stop in the Upper Canada School Board is just one of many on its tour across Ontario.

Special education symposium Saturday, April 25 at St. Joseph’s High School

Students with special education needs at Renfrew County Catholic District School Board are reaping the benefits of the board’s longstanding commitment to ensure that they have the resources and support necessary to achieve their personal best.

With the help of a Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC), made up of trustees and community representatives, the board has established programs that ensure equitable access for these students, as well as a nurturing and safe environ-

ment to close gaps in learning and provide opportunities to achieve success. Members of the 2014-2015 SEAC committee include board trustee Anne Haley (chair), Joan Daley (member at large), Derrick Nearing (autism), Jeanne Charette of Autism Ontario,

Kathy O’Connor of VOICE for Hearing Impaired Children, Colleen Whittier of Easter Seals, and Mark Searson, the RCCDSB’s superintendent of educational services. “We have a wonderful team at RCCDSB that works in collaboration with experts in partner agencies to provide the best and most innovative programs to our students with Special Education needs with inspiring results,” says director of education Michele Arbour. Two special education coordinators oversee the special education program and provide liaison with principals and teachers, as well as with agency representatives. There are also special education resource teachers who help to develop students’ individual education plans, with classroom teachers and educational assistants. Other members of the team may include social workers, paraprofessional resource staff, and a

speech and language pathologist. Assistive technology is an important aspect of the special education program. The special education co-ordinators work with school staff to evaluate students’ needs for assistive technology and identify the most suitable equipment. The board also has 15 inhouse assistive technology trainers — special education resource teachers and educational assistants who have volunteered for special training — to help train teachers and students in use of the assistive technology and equipment. Parents can also attend these training sessions in the use of equipment that might range from iPads, to tablets or laptop computers. The board also has established sensory rooms, or Snoezelen rooms, in many of our schools to provide students who have special needs with an opportunity for relaxation, exploration and stimulation in

a multisensory environment. “Our goal is to create safe, engaging learning environments and to provide support to meet the diverse learning needs of each student,” says board chair Bob Michaud. “The success of our special education program is reflected in student achievements. And the 2013–2014 EQAO assessments showed that RCCDSB students with special needs exceeded the provincial average in every one of nine subgroups to earn an overall excellent standing,” Michaud said. The board is planning a fullday SEAC symposium this Saturday, April 25 that will be geared to parents of children who have special needs. The event, to be held at St. Joseph’s High School in Renfrew, is open to all parents and will include supervised children’s activities. The symposium is supported by a Parents Reaching Out grant from the Ministry of Education.

The jury takes its first vote.

Students present 12 Angry Jurors The St. Joseph’s High School production of the Reginald Rose play 12 Angry Jurors was a tense three-act drama set in the jury deliberation room after a 19-year-old man had just stood trial for a fatal stabbing. Temperatures get short and arguments grow heated as 12 citizens become 12 angry jurors as they are faced with determining the young man’s guilt or innocence. The production featured jurors Cassie Campbell, Madison Hackner, J.P. Cassanto, Emily Helferty, Levi Huyer, Nick Wouda, Kathleen Carty, Quinn Solar, Ella Narraway, Austin Gougeon, Kaitlyn Westlake and Emily Cherney, Broady O’Gorman as guard and Jordan deBruyn as judge. In their directors’ note, deBruyn and Krista St. Louis said 12 Angry Jurors is “full of careful 22 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, April 23, 2015

timing, tense moments and strong characters.” Some of the actors, they note, had to memorize pages and pages of dialogue. “All of our actors, however, never have the opportunity to break character throughout the three acts,” the directors observe. “Stuck in the confines of the jury deliberations room for the whole show, they had to learn to become the people they play for the duration of the drama.” The directors praise an “exceptional group of parent, community and teacher volunteers,” among them Norm and Kathy Dagg, Gerry Kluke, Dave Rowat, Peggy Laverty and Lori Ann Cherney. The play returns to the stage at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School tonight and Saturday night at 7 p.m.

Business Owners In Greater Madawaska If you own a business in the Township of Greater Madawaska we want to hear from you!

PETER CLARK/METROLAND

The Royal Canadian Legion Renfrew Branch 148 honours Vimy Ridge Day and those who fought in the Battle of Vimy Ridge in 1917 with the laying of a wreath at the Renfrew cenotaph April 9. From left are Rev. Bruce Ferguson, Bill McLeod, Don Stroud, Harry Llewelyn and branch president Ron Kilby.

Canada remembers 1917 Battle of Vimy Ridge Minister of Veterans Affairs Erin O’Toole issued the following statement on April 9 regarding the 98th anniversary of the Battle of Arras and the capture of Vimy Ridge. “Ninety-eight years ago on Easter Monday, April 9, the four divisions of the Canadian Corps fought side by side for the first time in the attack at Vimy Ridge. “On that wind-swept ridge in Northern France in 1917, Canadian soldiers secured one of the most impressive victories of the First World War, helping earn our nation a place on the international stage. “But the price of victory was steep – close to 3,600 Canadians gave their lives in the name of freedom. “Today, the majestic Canadian National Vimy Memorial at Vimy Ridge

serves as a lasting tribute to the sacrifices made by the selfless men and women who served our country during the First World War, and acts as a potent reminder of the battle fought on those very fields. “Ninety-eight years later, we continue to acknowledge with pride Canada’s role in defending the ideals of freedom, democracy and the rule of law - the very foundations of our own nation. “We gratefully acknowledge and honour the courage and the cost paid by those brave Canadians 98 years ago, and we commit them to our memory. “We will always remember.” For more information on the Battle of Vimy Ridge in 1917, visit veterans. gc.ca.

National Day of Mourning April 28 Renfrew and District Labour Council

Workers die on the job every day. Every year, hundreds of thousands more suffer injury or illness because of their working conditions. They are not forgotten. Unions, labour councils, families and community partners gather annually on April 28 to mourn these losses and vow to prevent more. They follow with action in the workplace and community pressing for work that promotes dignity and health. April 28 – a Tuesday this year – is a National Day of Mourning to recognize workers injured or killed on the job. The Canadian Labour Congress first declared the Day in 1984. More than 100 countries now observe the day, too.

Again this year, the Renfrew and District Labour Council will be holding Day of Mourning events in Renfrew and Pembroke. The Council invites members of the public to join them in remembering those who have been injured or killed on the job. The Renfrew event will at 12:15 p.m. at O’Brien Park near the Swinging Bridge. The Pembroke event will be at the Pembroke Marina at 6 p.m. The guest speaker at both events this year will be Ontario Federation of Labour secretary-treasurer Nancy Hutchison. Please take a few minutes out of your day to come and pay respects to the workers and their families who they have lost or have been injured on the job.

Victoria Thomas Community Development & Public Relations Officer 613-752-2222 ext. 204 vthomas@greatermadawaska.com RETAIL BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY FOR AN AGENCY STORE IN MADAWASKA, LCBO RFP #2015-123 MADAWASKA An excellent business opportunity is now available to established retailers in Madawaska. The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is seeking a responsible, customer-focused retailer to operate an LCBO Agency Store in Madawaska.

To qualify, the applicant must have an existing, currently operating retail business in the community and commit to operating the Agency store within established LCBO guidelines. To facilitate the sale of beverage alcohol products, the operator may be required to enter into separate commercial arrangements with the LCBO and domestic beer suppliers. The successful applicant will also be required to participate in a special LCBO server-training program to ensure the responsible sale of beverage alcohol products. Since 1962, the LCBO has authorized more than 200 Agency stores to serve communities that have requested service but where the local population is too small to support a regular LCBO or beer store. These Agency stores are operated by local retailers within their existing retail business. Agency store contracts are normally awarded for a five-year term. In communities where there is currently an Agency store, as the contract nears expiry, the LCBO will take into consideration the fact that new businesses in the community may have been established and will allow an opportunity for all businesses in the community to compete for the next five-year term. Operating an LCBO Agency Store provides a retailer with an excellent opportunity to increase revenue and attract customers while providing local residents with beverage alcohol services. Agency stores also deliver economic benefits to the community in many cases through job creation and increased customer traffic for local merchants. Interested businesses must request by mail the application package for this competition before end of business day, Friday, May 8, 2015 and must quote the following information: RFP# 2015-123 Madawaska Request for Application Package Procurement and Contract Management, LCBO 1 Yonge Street, Suite 1404 Toronto, ON M5E 1E5 Please note: An application fee of $100 must be included with your request in order to receive an application package. Make the cheque or money order payable to the LCBO only. In order to be considered for this business opportunity, applicants must submit to LCBO Procurement and Contract Management a completed proposal in the required format before the closing date and time, Friday, May 22, 2015, 3 p.m. local time. Late submissions will not be accepted and will be returned unopened.

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, April 23, 2015 25

Sept. 9 to 13, 2015

Welcome to the Renfrew Fair Gladys Curry

Junior Fair Chairperson

Welcome to Junior Fair (Class 10). Our department is open to members 18 years and under. Each exhibitor must be a member of the Junior Fair. The membership fee of one dollar entitles the member to enter any or all of the classes in which he or she is eligible. This also entitles the member to three free admissions to the fair. Only one entry is allowed per section. Note: Individuals must exhibit in their appropriate age group, and are entitled to exhibit in any higher age group as well in Junior fair. Our committee has met and here is a sneak preview of what we have to offer to our junior exhibitors for our 161st fair. There will be a monetary prize for most points in Junior Fair again this year. The winner for 2014 junior fair was Elijah Budarick. There are many categories to choose from including model making, artwork, handicrafts, baking, fruit, vegetable and field crops (two sections), flowers and 4-H. The artwork and handicrafts division has many interesting entries to choose from. Many of the articles called for are items readily accessible in your home, including recyclable articles. Create, decorate, draw, snap pictures, sculpt, make collages, or use the computer – the decision is yours! There is also a section asking you to decorate an unopened non-perishable box or can of food, which is then distributed to the local food bank. Some of the baking challenges include cake in a mug, decorated cupcakes or cookies, or edible items dipped in chocolate. The fruit, vegetable, field

crops, and flowers have a large selection of entries to choose from. Perhaps now is the time to decide what your favourite vegetable, flower or field crop entry will be? The Renfrew Fair Poster Competition is open to three age categories and the first place winners from each, will be eligible to compete in the District competition in October. Should they be the successful first place winner there, they will advance to the OAAS level competition, which will be held in Toronto February 2016. The entry for eight chocolate chip cookies also advance in the same way. Congratulations to Shannon Yolkowskie, our OAAS winner in Toronto this year for her first place showing in chocolate chip cookies and to Maggie Scott for her third place winner in the poster contest. You may wish to enter in the World’s Finest poster competition. Complimentary ride coupons will be awarded in each section to the first, second and place-place entries. This year Country Fair Baking is sponsoring the Bernardin jam/jelly contest. Interested in a different challenge? Decorate a vegetable to look like the fair president, or perhaps a new category that you never had an entry in? The 4-H has three sections to choose from: Open 4-H class, 4-H Interclub Competition and 4-H Club Competition. Entries must be in between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 8. The prize list is available at the Renfrew Armouries or at www.renfrewfair.com We look forward to seeing all of your entries! A special thanks to our individual sponsors for contributing materials and prizes.

McNab Days Scottish festival at White Lake alive and well Rose Ann MacLaren

We have been getting ready for the 2015 Scottish Festival. This year’s fifth annual McNab Days event will be held at the Waba Cottage in White Lake Sunday, June 21. At the moment, we have four excellent pipe bands, one with a re-enactment group to display older style military activities. The 78th Highlander re-enactment group appeared with us for the first time last year. They quickly became a hit. We’ve been in contact with a variety of Germanic members of the community and the county to put together our hospitality tent to honour our German pioneering group in our community. At this point, we are trying to get

some boats together for boat rides at the dock at the park. This would be a very good new feature to our event. Imagine being able to listen to the pipes and drums while on the beautiful White Lake. Our many Celtic activities and mini games for children have become a big hit. Their parents and grandparents also love this feature as they feel comfortable to enjoy other parts of the event, knowing their kids are happy and well cared for in the children’s events. Needless to say, this, and the festival, requires a very large volunteer troop. If you would like to become part of this event in some way, please contact me at 613-623-3614 or 613-266-1496. We would be more than pleased to put you in an area that you feel comfortable volunteering in.

I guess we should have seen it coming. Well, in fact, I did see it coming. When oil prices plunged the good news for people who drive was that they were going to be saving money at the pumps relative to the peak prices we had been experiencing. The bad news is Kathleen Wynne and the Liberals saw this as a golden opportunity to extract more money from your pockets for every litre you have burned. You see the Liberal Government passed cap and trade legislation back in 2009. Having witnessed the disastrous federal election for the Liberal Party under Stéphane Dion they decided not to move ahead. With a minority government elected in 2011 the issue was a non-starter. However, once Kathleen Wynne won a majority in 2014, the question was not if, but when she would move on cap and trade, or what I prefer to call “pay to pollute” legislation. Basically, the way it works is the government sets a cap on the amount of emissions that a company can produce. If they want to produce more, then they have to buy carbon credits from other companies that are burning less than they are allowed. In theory, when it was envisioned cap and trade was supposed to act as an incentive for companies to reduce Co2 emissions. In reality, through the purchase of credits, polluters simply pay more for the right to produce more carbon dioxide emissions. The experience in Europe has seen actual emissions rise under their cap and trade system. So if the goal was to reduce carbon emissions it would have to be considered a complete failure. Here is the reason I believe the Wynne government has adopted this scheme. It has absolutely nothing to do with reducing Co2 emissions. It has everything to do with generating more revenue for a government that has put us on the verge of bankruptcy. The cap and trade scheme is forecasted to raise about two billion dollars a year. We all know that if business is paying two billion dollars more per year for carbon credits they will pass that cost onto you, the consumer. In Liberal math it is perfect, they get two billion dollars without raising taxes and the consumer picks up the tab. They claim it is going to raise the price of gasoline by about 3 cents a litre. My experience and I’m sure yours too is this: in the past when the Liberals have said that something will cost you nothing there is a cost, and when they say it will cost you a little it inevitably costs you a lot. We need only to look at what has happened with our hydro bills over the past several years.

Speaking of electricity, as I am writing this column we are waiting for the release of Ed Clark’s report concerning the sale of public assets. Look for the province to go ahead with the selling of the majority of Hydro One. We will continue to follow this closely holding them to account and doing our best to ensure that you get fair value for any asset sold. We will also endeavour to ensure that the government directs the proceeds of any sale in an appropriate manner. On April 14th, the government announced that the budget will be tabled on April 23rd. We should have a better picture by then of what the government’s plans are with respect to tackling the deficit that they have created and how it will impact you. Stay tuned. 0423.R0013240859

Tree swallows return over a wide area this week Chuck and Terry Pierce have seen tree swallows investigating the bird boxes on their property, as have Terry Cunningham, Joyce Allen and Ray and Regina Puhalski. The birds arrive early in the spring to get the best nesting site that includes an adequate food supply and secure nest site, usually a bird box. Swallows are insectivores and must have flying insects, mosquitoes, black flies and flying ants to survive. If temperatures drop to below nine degrees Celsius (37 degrees Fahrenheit) insects stop flying and the birds go hungry. Tree swallows have a defence mechanism for such an event. They are able to go into a state of torpidity where they lower their body temperature and heart rate therefore using little or no energy. They may be away from the nest for three or four days before returning when the temperatures warm up to carry on with their nesting chores. Their absence does not seem to interfere with the incubation process. Tree swallows like to play with a feather and you will see them carry one up into the air, drop it and then retrieve it before it hits the ground.

Green heron

JIM FERGUSON Scene from the Hawk’s Eye Sandhill cranes

Ron and Ann Townson had a pair of sandhill cranes settle in a marshy area near their home. The pictures they sent of the birds show them in their ideal nesting habitat, dry mounds and tall, knee to shoulder-high grasses and reeds. The nest is built above water and is a high mound of grasses, sticks, mosses and dried reeds. The one, sometimes two eggs, are incubated for 31-32 days alternately by both adults. Terry Cunningham had three sandhill cranes arrive near his home this week as they have been doing for several years. The third bird is usually an immature bird from last year’s nesting and will remain with the parents until incubation begins.

Bluebird boxes

Jo-Anne and Bill went saw a green heron during a field trip last Wednesday. With the late melting of the ice along the edge of our waterways these birds will be experiencing some days without food. Green herons have been known to use brightly coloured toadstools and mushrooms to lure small fish within range of their sharp bill. They will drop a piece of mushroom into the water and wait for their catch to arrive then snap them up with a lightning-fast stab of their sharp bill. They are quite successful at this way of fishing. The Ron Townson/Submitted Wendts also saw a single Bohemian A pair of sandhill cranes in their waxwing on the same trip. nesting habitat. Bald eagles

Bald eagles are on the wing searching for food and a nesting territory which can be as large as two square miles (1ha) in size. Campbell and Agatha Crogie have eagle hunting near their home in Douglas, Connie Oedema saw a pair of bald eagles displaying near her home and Terry and Chuck Pierce saw a bald eagle when it circled over their property.

Eagles have several displays the most common is when one bird approaches another from above and the lower bird rolls over and presents its talons. The two may touch briefly or they may clasp talons and tumble down several yards before releasing their grip. Bald eagles are generally quiet, especially around the nest. They do give a high-pitched scream that is used for defence or as a contact call with their mate.

Ray and Regina Puhalski have 10 bluebird boxes on their property and last summer half of them were used by bluebirds and tree swallows. Late last summer a pileated woodpecker enlarged the holes and now starlings have been trying to use them much to the displeasure tree swallows and the bluebirds. A donut made from a piece of wood (3”x3”) with the regular 1.5 inch (4cm) hole drilled in it and screw-nailed over the damaged hole will keep out the starlings and also keep the raccoons from reaching in and catching the young birds. Purple finches

Laura Martin has both purple finches and goldfinches back at her feeders. The birds left for much of the winter. They migrate to areas where the cone crop, usually to spruce and balsam forests, is more abundant and of better quality. Enjoy your birding.

Jason Marshall receives first McNab-Braeside Mayor’s Award John Carter

John.carter@metroland.com

Jason Marshall has been named as the first recipient of the McNab Braeside Mayor’s award, which will be given annually to a resident who has contributed to the betterment of the community. In making the presentation, Mayor Tom Peckett pointed out that the While Lake resident has been ac-

tive in various community groups through the year, and always proudly supports the township whenever, and however, he can. “No matter where he has worked in the Ottawa Valley through the years, his home, and his heart have always been firmly planted in McNab-Braeside,” the mayor said. “Jason calls himself an ambassador for McNab-Braeside and always had the township and its people in his

thoughts whenever asked to do his part to make the community a better place to live and raise a family,” he added. “He’s volunteered on committee after committee.” He listed off some of his activities, including township recreation committee member since 2009 (and now chairman); active in organizing White Lake Winter Carnival and other White Lake events; moderator

of municipal, provincial and federal all-candidates meetings in the area; volunteer emcee for variety of events around the region; and part of organizing committees for anniversary celebrations and local, provincial and national sporting event, as well as Canada Day celebrations in both McNab-Braeside and Arnprior. Peckett said Marshall has also been active in sporting community as player, .umpire and coach for minor

ball Little League and high school football, and is a former member of Arnprior Jr B Packers executive. Marshall, who emceed the evening’s ceremonies, said he was “deeply humbled” by the award, but he isn’t volunteering for the recognition, but to make the community a better place.

Also, if you file a consumer proposal, CRA will only consider it if your returns are up to date when the proposal is filed.

Income tax is administered under federal tax laws. Those laws do grant CRA certain powers of collection other creditors don’t have, but income tax debt itself is still an unsecured debt unless CRA has taken steps to take security – like placing a lien on your property.

When you owe money to CRA, they will eventually collect that debt from you. You cannot, and should not, run and hide. If the debt is significant and you fail to repay it or negotiate acceptable terms, CRA has the right to place a lien on your home or other property (such as a cottage). This does not mean you will immediately lose that property, and there are steps you can take to have the lien removed.

In most cases, CRA is not the only creditor. We meet thousands of people every year who have difficulty juggling many debts at once. Most have never had debt issues before and fall behind because they need help and don’t know where to turn. If you are unable to negotiate a reasonable agreement with CRA directly, income taxes, along with other unsecured debt, can be discharged after you complete a bankruptcy or consumer proposal with a Licensed Trustee. Be aware that this is true only for income tax debt that accumulates prior to filing a bankruptcy or consumer proposal. As soon as you file, a new “tax clock” starts ticking and you will be responsible for any taxes owed from that point forward. This means you’ll need to file your future tax returns and make your payments on time.

If you are owed a tax refund for the year in which you file a bankruptcy (or any prior years), CRA will apply it to your outstanding tax debt and pay the difference, if any, to the Trustee.

We’ve run out of room this week but look for us next time as we explain how a tax lien works and how to deal with it. If you are burdened with debt stress, asking for sound advice is a sign of strength and the smart thing to do. Asking sooner rather than later is always better. Call Doyle Salewski today for your free, no obligation consultation. You’ll be glad you did.

Tom Peckett, left, presented his Mayor’s Award for McNab-Braeside to Jason Marshall at the Chamber of Commerce gala. Marshall joked the phone call from Peckett informing him he was a recipient of the award left him being speechless, a rare occurrence indeed. Marshall is the station manager at Valley Heritage Radio on the Burnstown Road. The popular not-for-profit radio station is in the midst of its annual fundraising radiothon that wraps up this Sunday with a Valley Roundup Dance at the Renfrew Armouries.

Yes, it’s tax time again with the April 30th deadline looming large. It’s not uncommon to owe taxes to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) —for some, the amount can be significant. Many are under the impression that nothing can be done about it, because tax debt is different from other debt and because CRA has special powers. This is only partly true.

Valley Bantam Thunder claims silver in GTA Kristina Misener

Ottawa Valley Thunder

Ottawa Valley Thunder Girls hockey has left its mark on the Greater Toronto Area at the recent provincial championships, along with an amazing 11,000 other girls from novice to senior teams. It is not an easy feat to finish first or second in your division, to be awarded a spot to compete to earn the title of Provincial Champion. This amazing feat was accomplished by three of the Ottawa Valley Thunder Girls hockey teams. Atom, peewee and bantam all earned an invitation to compete. The midget team has an honorable mention of being one point short of qualifying to attend. The Bantam Thunder set the bar high and stopped at nothing at the provincials, starting with the first game. The Thunder beat the Aurora Panthers 3-0. Goal scorers were Sarah McIntyre, Meara Ryan and Jordan Shields. In the second game Sarah Mc-

Intyre, Kaitlyn Olsheski, Mila Jones, Jordan Spence, Meara Ryan and Jordan Shields were the goalgetters as the Thunder beat up on the Ancaster Avalanche 6-0. Spence and Shields led in the assist column with two each. The third round-robin game saw the Thunder prevail 2-0 over the Clarington Flames. Kaitlyn Olsheski and Meara Ryan scored. By virtue of round-robin play, the Thunder received a bye to the quarterfinal. In a tight rematch with Ancaster the Thunder won 1-0 on a goal by Jordan Shields assisted by Emma Peever. The semifinal brought on the Kent County Fillies. After a scoreless game, the Thunder won a barnburner six minutes into overtime. Jordan Shields converted a pass from Meara Ryan to send the Thunder to the gold medal game. The shutout was the fifth straight for goalie Katie Douglas in the provincials during an incredible run of goaltending. The gold medal game was a seesaw affair with the Stoney Creek Sa-

The Thunder got a goal from Madison Tomasini with two minutes left to send the game to overtime. Unfortunately, the run ended when the Sabres scored in OT to win 4-3. Other goal scorers in the final were Sydney Smart and Jordan Shields.

Meara Ryan collected two assists. The provincial silver medal capped off a great season for the Thunder. Their overall record was 35 wins, 13 losses and eight ties. They scored an impressive 133 goals versus only 64 against. The Bantam Thunder also added the Jay Peak tournament title to their

provincial silver medal. Our Thunder competitive program in the Ottawa Valley has girls from Deep River to Renfrew that tryout to secure a place on our teams. We compete in Cornwall, Russell, Ottawa and Brockville in the Ottawa Women’s District Hockey Association

The group only missed one practice out of 20 because of melting ice conditions. This year’s participants were very determined, and hardy as they braved the elements on many days during this bitter cold winter to get out and enjoy one of Canada’s favourite pastimes.

Last year we had 21 participants and this year we had 35. Organizers are very pleased with the growth of the program from last year to this season. On March 24, we celebrated the season at a banquet with friends and family members. All participants received a medallion and a group picture.

We had a great season and I would like to thank all of the volunteer coaches – Paul Labossiere, Matt Valliquette, Jen Thomas, Steve and Ruby Osipenko, Chad Scerba and Kent Scerba. Without these dedicated volunteers, we would not be able to run this program.

World canoe championships coming to Beachburg Peter Clark

Beachburg will be hosting The World late this summer. The 2015 International Canoe Federation (ICF) World Championships will be taking place on the Ottawa River Aug. 30 to Sept. 5. ‘The World’ is a locally made globe, displayed at the west entrance to the Village of Beachburg in Whitewater Region. This signature art recognizes

that Whitewater Region and the County of Renfrew, on behalf of all Canadians, will be welcoming and hosting athletes and visitors from around the world this summer. As home to the world-class whitewater of the Ottawa River, the aptly named Whitewater Region has welcomed tourists, whitewater rafters and kayakers for nearly 40 years of whitewater adventure, Michael Barber of Renfrew County media rela-

tions said. The International Canoe Federation recognizes the ideal conditions provided by the Ottawa River to host a world championship of whitewater paddling – the ICF Freestyle World Championships – this year. The event is being hosted by Wilderness Tours. “We’re gearing up for a pretty incredible show,” said Robert Zwanenburg, CanoeKayak Canada’s Freestyle chair. “This

sport is known for its extreme factor and bringing the best in the world to Canada will do a lot to build the profile of freestyle paddling and our very talented national team athletes.” Competitors will showcase their skills on the Ottawa River as they push their physical and creative limits to rack up points in pursuit of being crowned world champion, Zwanenburg added.

The Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League (EOJHL) is history as we know it. The 2014-15 and final season ended with the Casselman Vikings capturing their second consecutive title, in six games over the Stittsville Rams April 12. The founding members of the newly-created Central Canada Tier 2 Hockey League (CCHL2) convened for the first time on April 13 in Kemptville. Sixteen members of the EOJHL within the Hockey Eastern Ontario (HEO) attended with representatives from Renfrew, Arnprior, Perth, Westport, Athens, Brockville, Prescott, Winchester, Char-Lan, Alexandria, Casselman, Clarence, Ottawa, Ottawa West, Metcalfe and Stittsville. The unanimous direction of the membership was to limit membership to within the HEO territory. The consensus to reduce to a more workable number of teams allows for a full interlocking schedule. There were 22 teams in the EOJHL. The CCHL2 team representatives elected Marco Scapilletti of the Arnprior Packers as the league’s

chairman of the board of governors. Over the next couple of weeks, committee work will be done to determine the specifics on hockey operations, constitution and governance and finance. On an interim basis, HEO vice president of junior hockey Kevin Abrams will serve as commissioner until final decisions are reached with respect to the league’s first executive. To have 16 teams all keen on doing something like this is powerful stuff, Abrams said. To see every single team at least once in every building will also make it interesting for the fans, Abrams added. Further CCHL2 information will be made available in the coming weeks and a formal press conference will be called upon the completion of the committee work and closing of the EOJHL conferences and league.

Boasting some of the best whitewater in the world, Wilderness Tours has used this location to host competitions for 20 years, including the

ICF Freestyle World Championships once before, in 2007. “We are thrilled to be hosting the championships again,” Wilderness Tours president Joe Kowalski said on the ICF website. “It will be a big boost to the sport and to this area.

We’ve got an extraordinary venue here and we can’t wait to welcome the World to our backyard.” Wilderness Tours is Canada’s largest whitewater rafting company and will celebrate its 40th anniversary next year.

The ancient game of tennis is played all over the world by millions. The popularity of the sport as a spectator event may ebb and wane with the stars of the day but as a participant sport, it remains one of the rare pastimes that can be played by all ages with very few financial constraints. Renfrew is well served by the Renfrew Tennis Club. The courts are located at Ma-Te-Way Park. Fortunately, there’s a fence around the courts to discourage parking in the alleys. (note to readers. That was a joke). This also keeps many shots from continuing their flight to Cobden and beyond. The courts are lit for nigh time play, and painted to make them look cool. There are many opportunities for play. There are both singles and doubles leagues which operate in a ladder format. Although this creates great controversies in seeding, after about a month of play, teams generally end up with other teams around the same

199

level allowing a good, competitive match for all. There’s a group that plays in the mornings in a non-competitive format that’s fun for all. During the season, there are some fun tournaments to play in, a clinic sponsored by the OTA (Ontario Tennis Association) and then in August, the prestigious Club Championship. Juniors are also well served by the club. Garry Irving has, for years, run an excellent instruction program and junior tournaments. Kids get to learn the basics of the sport from a local legend. Last year was the first time for an intermediate after-school program which will hopefully continue this year. This year, in conjunction with the off leash dog park, will debut the first ever, Tennis for Dogs program. Finally, your pet will have the opportunity to be the next Ruffa Nadal or Boris Barker. Registration is at Ma-Te-Way on Friday, April 24 from 7 to 9 p.m. and then again on Saturday, April 25 from 9 a.m. to noon. Looking forward to a great season. For more, see http://renfrewtennis.com/

10-0 run from opening tip-off jumpstarts Reunions to ladies hoops victory Rob Warren

Ladies Spring Basketball

The Reunions surged out of the blocks for a 10-0 lead and cruised to a 37-14 victory over McNab, Stewart & Prince in the Ladies Spring Basketball League.

After a 25-12 first-half score, both defenses tightened for a 12-2 second half tally. Mae Donohue scored 16 points, followed by Stacie Hill with 10, all in the first half. KL Plumbing/Signature Styles used a balanced attack to stop McNab, Stewart & Prince 39-19.

Raili Quathamer led all scorers with 10 points. Tasha Latendresse showed great versatility, scoring eight points from a new position as forward. Mid-Town Flooring couldn’t shake KL Plumbing/Signature Styles, but managed to stay ahead 26-18 at the break.

Several fast break baskets late in the game allowed Mid-Town to pull away 48-35. Jill Barr and Andrea Martin paced the victors with 17 and 13 points respectively. Back as a guard, Tasha Latendresse pumped in three treys on her way to 15 points for KL Plumbing/Signature Styles.

I’ve always felt like a healer,” he remarked. As he’s been making his way across Ontario on the tour, which started April 8 in Lindsay, Bloom has found the experience very fulfilling. “It’s interesting because I’ve been hearing the same stories over and over. It doesn’t matter if I’m in Brockville, Niagara Falls or North Bay,” he explained. “The road trip has been fun and for me, this tour has been extremely rewarding to take what I can do and spread it out geographically.”

Matt Bloom began his journey down another path of life eight years ago and know he’s hoping his experience as a certified hypnotherapist will help others to stop smoking, lose weight and battle other issues they’ve been facing. Bloom who is based in Whitby where he runs his own hypnotherapy practice, is travelling across Ontario with The New You Tour and will make several stops throughout the region. Monday, April 27 he is at The Rocky Mountain House in Renfrew. The following night he is at the Nick Smith Arena in Arnprior Advance tickets for each show are available on The New You Tour website (www. thenewyoutour. com) for $35 each plus tax. Group admission (five or more tickets) is $30 each plus tax. Single tickets at the door will be $50 each. A portion of the revenue from the tour will also go to support the SickKids Foundation. According to Bloom, who is also a motivational speaker, each show kicks off at 7 p.m. and will include two 25-minute hypnotherapy sessions and a question and answer period afterwards. “When I’m speaking, my subconscious mind becomes accepts positive suggestions, but this isn’t mind control,” he points out. “Peo-

Toastmasters

More than 30 residents of Quail Creek Retirement Home gathered in the lounge to hear some Tall Tales presented by the Valley Vintage Advanced Toastmasters Club. Friday, March 20. To begin Lynne Zander played some familiar tunes on the piano. Emcee Fran Watson presented some information on the Toastmasters organization and the fact that it was older than many of the residents. Toastmasters International was 90 years old in October of 2014. Watson also mentioned the other clubs in the valley, Arnprior, Renfrew, Pembroke, Chalk River and Deep River. Lenore Whelan, the first speaker, spoke about the ghost barge that trav-

els up and down the river collecting the memories of times past. Lynne Zander spoke about playing a shot off the back of an alligator in order not to lose any points in her golf game in Florida. Brad Dota explained about the A.R.L.S. – Arnprior-Renfrew Laura Secord cross-country race in memory of Laura Secord’s famous run through the woods to warn of the attack. Phil Godon told about the Great Tragic Duck Hunt, and Brian Macdonald wrapped things up with the Blue Bummed Horse. Following the speeches, the residents assisted with the Table Topics by holding up a card with a single word on it that the Toastmaster had to weave into their impromptu speech. Several of the Toastmasters participated in this segment and laughs

were shared by all. Sue Diotte, the activities co-ordinator, thanked the Valley Vintage Toastmasters and invited everyone to join in for refreshments. The residents were invited to attend the next meeting and several residents requested that the Toastmasters “do it again”. Another session is planned for late May or early June.

Loses Greater Madawaska Seat

April 2015

Since 2006, I have been active as your Member of Parliament to deliver stable, predictable, permanent infrastructure funding to our local municipalities. Only your Federal Conservative Government provides an annual infrastructure funding transfer to municipalities. Last year, federal gas tax transfers to local municipalities in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke totalled almost 6 million dollars. All this was done without raising taxes or adding to the deficit. Unique in Canada, our Conservative Government delivers the federal GasTax Fund, in partnership with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, directly to all Renfrew County municipalities. Unlike application based infrastructure programs being proposed by the opposition, funding is fairly distributed by our Conservative Government on a per capita basis, year after year, with a legislated, permanent, predictable formula.

To attention rate payer Greater Madawaska Ward One. They do not have to dip into election results to pick past councilors with experience and by protocol should have been called up and asked. Second choice not a computer person but also served in past. Then go to by-election. The wording do not have dip into pool. Protocol should be the proper step. They paid up front to register for the position and done necessary paper work and filed and no ruiles for councilors mean you pick whom you people want period. Why do people want to step up to this position if you do not follow proper procedure. You people are not doing your job by passing this procedure. James Easton Paid Advertisement

That means municipalities can set local priorities without having to go beg Toronto and waste money retaining expensive consultants and lobbyists on a provincial process that has been likened to buying a lottery ticket with the same odds of receiving funding. In another example of fairness at the federal level, the populationbased funding from the federal gas tax is transferred with no strings attached. Like our local, well-run municipalities that operate on a pay-as-you-can-afford basis, the Federal Government shares that attitude of living within one’s means. While our government continues to make record investments in infrastructure, we will balance the budget this year, continue to reduce taxes for Canadian families, and provide for a secure retirement.

Community paramedicine continues to grow across Renfrew County Remote patient care (RPC), also referred to as remote patient monitoring, is coming to the homes of more Renfrew County residents living with Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), announced Michael Nolan, Chief of Paramedic Services, Renfrew County.  Renfrew County is teaming up with Future Health Services Inc., a company operating under South Central Community Development Corporation (SCCDC), to deliver a remote patient care demonstration project, which uses specialized inhome medical technology to monitor patients and connect them with a team of medical professionals and family members. The technology monitors a patient’s vital signs including heart rate, blood pressure, weight and blood oxygen saturation levels. If daily monitoring shows warning signs, a Community Paramedic is automatically notified and checks-in on the patient before symptoms worsen.  They also have the ability to share alerts and progress reports with other authorized clinicians and family members via a secure social networking tool as required.  The goal of the program is to demonstrate the impact remote patient care monitoring has on reducing 911 calls, emergency department visits, hospital admissions and overall healthcare costs. “Renfrew County is excited to be included in another promising community paramedicine program,” says Peter Emon, County of Renfrew Warden. “When we heard about the remote patient care monitoring project we knew we wanted to be involved. It’s exciting to see community paramedics play a proactive role in healthcare.  Remote patient care monitoring is another program in the County of Ren-

frew that provides in-home care by paramedics who work with primary care providers, and will complement the Community Paramedicine programs currently running.” To qualify for remote patient care monitoring, a patient must be diagnosed with Chronic Heart Failure or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and meet one of the following criteria: three or more 911 calls in the past 12 months; two emergency room visits in the past 12 months; or one hospital admission in the past 12 months. There is no cost to participate in the program. The local paramedic services will be sending eligible patients a letter, an information package and application form in the mail, as well as engaging other community partners to refer eligible patients.  “This program will allow our highly trained staff to use their skills to keep community members at home where they want to be,” said Janice Visneskie Moore, chair of the County of Renfrew Health Committee. “Everyone wants proactive programming, especially in healthcare and I can’t think of a better use of the expert caregivers we have here in Renfrew County.” Patients selected for the study will be visited by a County of Renfrew Community Paramedic who will set their home up with convenient and easy to use devices. The paramedic will show patients how to use the equipment and answer their questions. Patients will then monitor themselves daily and the information will be available on a secure web-based platform viewable by the care team and a family member if they wish. “Remote patient care has been linked to significant reductions in 911 calls, emergency department visits and hospitalization, as well as improved quality of life for patients,” said Jennifer Zelmer, Executive Vice-

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, April 23, 2015 41

Seed ordering was one exciting yearly tradition By the time Mother had written out her order on the last sheet of the SteeleBriggs seed catalogue, the pages were practically in shreds after many hours of pouring over the choices she would make. The little catalogue would arrive early in the Spring, and the cover would be masses of bright flowers, some I had never heard of, and certainly would never find their way into the flower beds out in Renfrew County! But anyway, flowers werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t what Mother was interested in. Her interest was in the pages of vegetables, all listed alphabetically and looking so real, it seemed you could just pick them up and eat them. Father could never understand why Mother even bothered with ordering packets of seeds from the Steele-Briggs catalogue. Sure, you could get the same seeds right down the road at Briscoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Store! Mother knew that, but she said there was something about ordering seeds from some far off place, and besides, there was a written notice that satisfaction was guaranteed or you would get your money back. I asked Mother if that meant if the seeds didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn into vegetables, would Steele-Briggs send back the few dollars she had laid out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what that means,â&#x20AC;? she would say, with a firm

Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories MARY COOK

nod of her head. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fat chance,â&#x20AC;? Father would say from his place near the Findlay Oval. From the day the little catalogue arrived, it rarely left the end of the old pine table in the kitchen. Mother liked nothing better than to thumb through its pages, and with a pencil put an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Xâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; beside what she thought she might order. Seeds for tomatoes, cucumbers and beans seemed to interest her the most, while pictures of big green watermelons kept me captive, and I hoped with all my heart that Mother would put a pencil mark beside the picture that took most of one page. Finally, she would have made her choices. The form was filled in from the back of the catalogue, and the order sent off in the mail in an envelope with a three cent stamp. Now, the wait began. And it was beyond my imagination, how, by simply

writing a few lines on a piece of paper, sending it off to some far-off city, and in due time, a packet would arrive with all the seeds my Mother had ordered. Of course, the entire mail system was a complete mystery to me to begin with! But then, just days after the order had been sent in, there the box would be! Sometimes it would come from Montreal, and sometimes all they way from out West...another miracle as far as I was concerned. Of course, Mother would have to have the money in her hand to pay for the seeds, because the box would come to us C.O.D. Mother knew how much I loved seeing the box of seeds, and so the day it would arrive, she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t open it until after supper, and I was allowed to get the scissors out of the sewing machine drawer and cut the strings and open the box. And there would be all those beautiful packets of seeds! Just like the pictures in the catalogue. I would line them up on the table after the kitchen had been redded up, and stand them up against a drinking glass, all in order, so that I could see them better. And everything was in vivid colours.

and he would look it over, make a grunting sound without taking his pipe out of his mouth, and that would be it. And sometime during the evening, he would again say the very same seeds could be bought right down the road at Briscoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Store...and you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have had to waste three cents on a stamp either. But nothing could dampen my joy of playing with those crisp little packets of seeds. Soon Mother would plant them in little wood boxes Father had made years before, and they would sit in the kitchen until they sprouted and it was time to move them to the garden. I watched them daily, and when the first spot of green appeared, I was ecstatic. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure if I was more excited about the actual growth of the plants, or marveling again at the fact that by simply sitting down at the kitchen table and sending off an order to some far away city, a parcel would arrive. And that parcel in due course would turn into an ample garden and feed us for months to come. Yes, a miracle indeed. All for the cost of a three cent stamp!

Local skeptic MPPs miss vote on climate change desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Liberal ways to distract from the bribery scandals,” such as the one that enveloped the Sudbury by-election, where a former Liberal candidate says he was offered a job as compensation to drop out of the nomination race in favour of then NDP MP Glenn Thibeault. He called the Liberal motion “empty (and) meaningless.” “If they were serious about this, they would have brought forward a bill,” he said, though Glen Murray, environment minister, said that he is working on just such a bill, which may include a mechanism for putting a price on carbon. The motion was put forward by fellow eastern Ontario Liberal MPP Grant Crack, who represents Glengarry-Prescott-Russell. Hillier did not deny the press releases assertion that he had denied the science behind climate change during a 2014 election debate – a contention Hillier has made at other events, going back to his first run in 2007 – but pointed out that “I also said that we have really pressing problems that are affecting people across the riding,” and that climate change was an issues for “further down the road… There are (problems) that we should be dealing with pronto.” Hillier said he actually agreed with local decisions made by Tay Valley Township staff to include preparing for the realities of climate

change in their official plan, and with Perth town council’s decision to establish a special climate change committee. “You do the examination and the investigation,” he said, to determine what can be done on a “practical (level) at the local level.” Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski was also absent from the vote on climate change.

Area MPPs Jack MacLaren and Randy Hillier were not at Queen’s Park for the recent vote on climate change supported by all parties. Both men, the Progressive Conservative MPPs for Carleton-Mississippi Mills and Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington respectively, were not in Toronto when a Liberal motion on climate change was put before the house, even though they had been called out as being climate change deniers in a Liberal press release announcing the motion. The motion, which passed 56-0, reads: “That, in the opinion of this House, the Ontario Legislative Assembly recognizes that scientists agree that climate change is caused by man-made greenhouse gas emissions and poses a serious threat to Ontario’s environment, businesses, communities and economy, that scientists and leaders of G8 countries – including Canada – have recognized the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with a goal of avoiding more than two degrees of warming, and affirm that this House must take necessary action to reduce emissions, transition to a low carbon economy and combat the effects of climate change.” While Hillier was riding the rails back to

Lanark County, according to his Toronto and Kanata offices, MacLaren was in California. He had left the day before to visit his daughter and was not due back to Canada until March 23. MacLaren has made no bones in the past about being skeptical that climate change is a problem. Hillier left for his riding about two hours before the vote was taken. “I was reducing my carbon footprint by taking the train,” he joked. He explained that his train ticket had already been bought when the notice of the vote was brought to his attention. “Those (last minute) motions I always take with a grain of salt,” he said. Lisa Thompson, the PC critic for the environment and climate change, put out a press release stating that her party would support the motion – and, indeed, Thompson, the MPP for Huron-Bruce, was one of six Tory MPPs present to vote for it. Leadership candidates Monte McNaughton and Christine Elliott also did not vote, and, as a federal MP, Patrick Brown could not vote on the motion anyway. “I consider protecting Ontario’s environment to be of the utmost importance,” said Thompson in a press release. Hillier dismissed the vote as “one of the

Head, Clara and Maria Mayor Jim Gibson is not giving up in his attempt to end the practice of reciting a prayer before Renfrew County council meetings. Gibson presented a notice of motion at March’s council meeting resolving that the prayer be replaced by a minute of reflective silence. The motion will be voted on at the April 29 County council meeting if it gets a seconder. Gibson, newly elected on Oct. 27 last year, first asked that county’s finance and administration committee, chaired by Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack, make the request. However, the committee declined to support the change. Gibson, who is a self-declared atheist, argues that the county council chamber is a work place so reciting the

prayer there is a form of discrimination to non-believers. On March 25, he served notice of motion that would have council “eliminate any discrimination in the county council workplace based on creed by replacing the current denominational prayer with a moment of silent reflection.” The motion goes on to say that the “suggestion that those county council members whose creed do not believe in God conduct themselves differently than others at county council meetings is discrimination based on religious choice.” The motion notes that discrimination in the workplace based on creed is forbidden under current legislation.

Horsing around at the Renfrew Armouries

Lucy Hass/Metroland

We all scream for ice cream

All things equine were in the spotlight Sunday, March 29 at the tack show hosted by Caimbeul Stables at the Renfrew Armouries. Above, Jessica and Brogan Maynard’s dog Opie seems more interested in a nap than checking out the offerings. The firstever tack show and bake sale gave horse enthusiasts a chance to buy, trade or simply enjoy the excitement of a new spring season. At right, Maurice Diotte of Perth was among the vendors at the show. He showcased his collection of beautiful Circle 9 saddles, made in Texas.

A Kitchen Creations program was held March 29 at the Renfrew Recreation Centre. Enjoying hand-made ice cream served in chocolate bowls made using balloons as the moulds are, from left, Clara DiPaolo, Caileigh Anderson, Haven Cardiff and Elena DiPaolo. Later in the day, toddlers made crafts. For more on Renfrew Parks and Recreation Department programs, visit town.renfrew.on.ca

John McDermott comes CUSTOMER APPRECIATION to Pembroke April 30 SALE!

Shantero Productions

Tickets are on sale now for John McDermott’s Pembroke stop on his Traditionally Yours tour. McDermott is an international recording star and household name. Besides his stellar musical career - platinum, double-platinum, tripleplatinum albums and multiple Juno nominations - he is also known for his commitment to veterans’ causes - the U.S. Congressional Medal of Honour Society’s Bob Hope Award, the Ted Williams Globe & Anchor Award from the USMC and, here at home, a commendation from the Minister of Veteran’s Affairs for this ongoing work, which includes his foundation McDermott House Canada, dedicated to improving care in the final stages of terminal illness and providing a welcoming place to stay for Canada’s veterans, military, first responders and their families. In concert, whether he is sharing the stage with a topnotch group of musical friends or touring the world as part of the famed Three Irish Tenors, McDermott continues to enchant audiences with his beautiful voice and sensitive renditions. Though time and travel have introduced him to

a wealth of new material and experiences, he manages to incorporate that diversity into his performances, while retaining the beguiling sense of humour that endeared him to audiences from the beginning. This tour features songs from his latest release, Traditionally Yours, as well as a variety of favourites from his vast recording catalogue. A delectable evening of story and song, delivered with charm and grace by the consummate craftsman himself, John

McDermott. Reserved seating tickets for John McDermott ...Traditionally Yours April 30 at the Pembroke Festival Hall Centre for the Arts are $47.50 (tax and facility fees included; handling charges may apply), and are available at the Pembroke Festival Hall Centre for the Arts box office 613-7352182. Show time is 7:30 p.m. After Pembroke, McDermott performs in Brockville, Barrie, Owen Sound, Sarnia, Belleville, Cornwall, Kingston and Peterborough.

Deep River musician Malcolm Burn returns with Spoons When lead singer Gord Deppe got the call from director Rick Wharton to come and play Festival Hall for its 35th year celebration, he laughed and said yes right away. “We formed the band not too far from there, in a school bus trip to Arnprior,” he said. The Spoons have played everywhere in Canada and never played Pembroke, so Festival Hall director Rick Wharton thought it was high time a concert represented and showcased some of the best 80’s music ever. Malcolm Burn, born in Deep River and lead singer and writer of the Canadian band Boys Brigade, was also contacted to be a part of the expected busy concert May 2 at 7:30 p.m. Boys Brigade was released in 1983 on Anthem/Capitol-EMI and turned out two massive singles that were not only popular on radio but on Much Music. Wharton and his wife Lorelei contacted Malcolm in Upper State New York and asked if he would be interested coming home for the gig. “With no hesitation his part he said yes he would love to come home and support Festi-

val Hall. Malcolm is so talented not only is he known for that iconic album but he has gone on to produce and engineer some great pieces of work,” says Wharton. Burn’s credits include hit Grammy award-winning album Red Dirt Girl for Emmylou Harris, Chris Whitley, Bob Dylan and The Neville Brothers, Peter Gabriel and Iggy Pop. The list goes on. Burn will be special guest that night and the Spoons will be backing him up where he will be not only playing his hits but also feature some of his new music. The Spoons have just celebrated over 30 years in the business and is thriving still in 2015. Formed in 1980, an intrepid young band from Burlington, Ont. would soon make Spoons a different kind of household word. Together with Derrick Ross and Rob Preuss, Gord Deppe and Sandy Horne would help define the sound of pop and New Wave in the 80s, with hits including Nova Heart, Romantic Traffic, Old Emotions and Tell No Lies. The Spoons with Special Guest Malcolm Burn of Boys Brigade, play the Festival Hall Centre for the Arts, May 2 at 7:30 p.m.

Award-winning pianist, vocalist and songwriter Laila Biali performs at the Neat Café in Burnstown April 30.

Laila Biali at Neat Café April 30 Staff

Award-winning pianist, vocalist and songwriter Laila Biali is coming to the Neat Café in Burnstown April 30. Biali has lived most of her musical life in the jazz world. With her latest album, under Laila Biali & The Radiance Project, Biali reveals a new side. The 11-track album, released April 14, is titled House of Many Rooms and sees the Brooklyn-based, Canadian artist venturing into a more pop-oriented sound, full of catchy hooks, sweet melodies, and anthemic musical

arrangements. This is Biali’s first album of entirely original material, and her first time arranging for a gospel choir and string orchestra. Biali is probably best known for her jazz music. She has been awarded SOCAN Composer of the Year, and Keyboardist of the Year at Canada’s National Jazz Awards. She also received a JUNO nomination for Best Vocal Jazz Album for her 2011 album, Tracing Light. Neat Café is located at 1715 Calabogie Rd. in Burnstown.

World-class musician Jimmy Bowskill plays The Renfrew Legion with his bluegrass band, Jimmy Bowskill and the Delaware String Band on Saturday, May 9 at 8 p.m. as a fundraiser for the Renfrew County Therapeutic Riding Program. Tickets are available at Mill Music and Valley Heritage Radio in Renfrew, Eganville Country Store and Grandma’s Pantry in Killaloe. Jimmy Bowskill started his professional career as a musician at 11 years old. He has received countless awards over the years for his singing, playing and producing. Jimmy plays a number of instruments at a professional level, from drums to keys and all things with strings from the pedal steel guitar to the stand-up bass. He also has “perfect pitch” deep soulful vocals, something which he could base his career on alone, but he just happens to play a multitude of instruments as well. (Add horns to the list!) He was discovered by Canadian music legend Jeff Healey, who quickly set him up with Jeff’s own band, put them on the road and Jimmy has been touring and playing ever since. As the youngest Juno nominee ever, Jimmy went on to work the Blues Circuit. He toured the world with his band filling large theatres all over Europe and then started getting noticed by “the big guys”. He ended up playing festivals, arenas and large concert halls opening for the likes of Jeff Beck, ZZ Top, Johnny Winter, Robert Cray, Dr. John and the list goes on and on. By then Jimmy was 19 years old and his taste for music had really opened up. “I started out listening to old school Blues

I am really looking forward to these shows, almost more than any I have ever done. Jimmy Bowskill

players like Robert Johnson, actually, my first release that caught so much attention was a tribute to Robert, one of the most important musicians and writers of our time. “Then I started checking out other roots player like Doc Watson, Bill Monroe, John Duffey all the classic old school country and Bluegrass pickers. The music is perfect, it just blew my mind, the way they play, their deep vocals and incredible harmonies. I decided that was something I wanted to work towards.” Jimmy is now 24 years old. He has five critically acclaimed releases under his belt and is currently working on a number of projects. A Bluegrass CD with The Delaware String Band, a duo Blues release with world class harmonica innovator Carlos Del Junco, and a solo release with Jimmy producing and playing all the instruments from drums to horns. “I am really looking forward to these shows, almost more than any I have ever done. It is a dream for me to finally have a great Bluegrass Band together with lots of great young pickers who can really harmonize as well (the average age of this talented lot is 24). I promise these shows (He plays Maynooth the night before) to have a lot of energy to them with some great pickin’ and great singing. I can’t wait to see everyone at these shows and hopefully some of the people who saw me open up for Valdy last year at the Legion in Renfrew will come out to this one. They really know their music in Renfrew.”

GIBBONS RD.

news on the go

Caughey reminisced about the many challenges the hospice has overcome since opening and then looked ahead to the future. “I know there will be many more hurdles and snags for Maureen to tackle. And I know she has the skills and know-how to solve them,” she said. “I’m confident she will continue to advance Hospice Renfrew as a vital county hub for palliative and bereavement services. Like me, she is dedicated to our community and determined to improve the quality of living, and dying, for our residents and families. “I am very happy to be passing the torch on to her.” For her part Sullivan-Bentz spoke of why she wanted to lead the Hospice team. “I wanted to come to Hospice Renfrew because of its great reputation in our community for patient care,” she explained. I want to be a part of that. “I know my big immediate challenge will be filling Diane Caughey’s shoes. As the hospice’s first executive director she has had such a huge impact. “Hospice Renfrew is all about caring for our families. I look forward to helping our hospice residents and their families come to a comfortable home-like setting for final closure and as fully as possible living remaining precious moments without suffering.”

GRANT

A name well-known to Arnprior and area residents has been named to head up the area’s much-admired residential hospice. In a news release April 9, the Hospice Renfrew board announced that Maureen Sullivan-Bentz has replaced Diane Caughey as the facility’s new executive director effective April 7. Caughey is retiring from the position she has held since Hospice Renfrew opened in 2008/ She has been an “unstoppable force in moving from initial first steps in a brand new facility to the highly successful home-like hospice of today,” says the board in announcing her retirement. Sullivan-Bentz also has experience in successfully launching a new health care initiative. She was until most recently the executive director of the Arnprior and District Family Health team. In that position she was responsible for leading the development and construction of the new entity, as well as for the recruitment and implementation of the new multidisciplinary team that now effectively provides a range of programs and services for patients in Arnprior and the surrounding area. Sullivan-Bentz is also a part-time clinical professor

at the University of Ottawa School of Nursing and provides health care consultation services for various institutions and academic centers across Canada. Connie Legg, chair of the hospice board, explained that a selection committee chose Sullivan-Bentz through an open competition that assessed a number of applicants from across Canada. “Maureen has all the background, skills and experience to enrich Hospice Renfrew’s solid reputation for providing quality palliative care”, said the chair of hospice who is also from the Arnprior area. “I know she will be an excellent leader and mentor for our hospice community with its strong resolve to provide end-of-life care with comfort and compassion.” Born and raised in Arnprior, Sullivan-Bentz brings 25 years of nursing experience in pediatric and adult critical care as well as community health. She has an extensive background in health care administration and program development as well as having a clinical nursing education. She has served as a sexual assault program manager in Renfrew and at University of Ottawa as collaborative nursing assistant director. On April 7, Caughey welcomed Sullivan-Bentz to Hospice Renfrew and introduced her to staff.

The Ottawa Valley Music Festival has a wonderfully full season of music planned. Tickets are now on sale for the 2015 season which includes a Festival of Choirs concert on June 7, Young Stars Return on Aug. 9 and Mozart’s Requiem (with full orchestra) on Sept. 27.

Ticket prices range from $5 to $25 (12 and under is always free!). Please visit our website for more concert

The Ottawa Valley Music Festival holds various fundraising activities throughout the year. Currently, you can be a piece of the Musical Puzzle solution by purchasing a piece of the jigsaw puzzle Renoir’s “Girls at the Piano” for only $1. The puzzle will then be assembled, sealed, framed and auctioned off later in the season. Look for puzzle boxes throughout the valley! We encourage you to help us solve the puzzle and support the arts! Stay tuned for more fundraisers and ways to help! 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 the week of Aug. 17 to 21. The day camp will run 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily and include singing, playing instruments, crafts and other awesome musical activities. The fun and learning will conclude on Friday with a concert for family and friends. Cost for the week is $220. This includes all music, snacks, supplies and camp Tshirt! No musical experience necessary.

Thank You Valiquette, Claire

The family of the late Claire Valiquette wishes to extend our sincere gratitude to all of those who surrounded us with comfort and fond memories during a most difficult time. Claire was a beloved daughter, sister, sister-in-law, aunt, cousin, caregiver, colleague, animal lover, neighbour and true friend to many who will be dearly missed. She will be remembered for her keen insight, opinions, advice, sense of humour, strong convictions to her faith and nursing profession and a kind regard for those less fortunate. There is little doubt that Claire’s life was truly well lived, generously and caringly, to the fullest. Her family gratefully acknowledges the professional wisdom, compassion, sincerity and empathy demonstrated by members of Renfrew emergency response teams, the medical and nursing staff of the Renfrew Victoria Hospital for whom she had the utmost respect, Father Kerry Brennan, Father Ryan Holly for their prayers, visitation and funeral celebration mass and Matt Brydges and his supportive team at the McPhail & Perkins Funeral Home, Your guidance and personal attention in assisting us with Claire’s remarkable journey was invaluable and truly admirable. We thank you so very much. To neighbours, colleagues and friends we remain grateful for your kind words, fond memories, generous donations, floral tributes and personal attendance at the beautiful mass and luncheon held in her honour, at her beloved parish, St. Francis Xavier, Renfrew. To her pallbearers, each one holding a special place in her heart, we say thank you. To her honourable pallbearer and loyal family friend Jeff Hanneman we extend our sincere thanks for always being there when needed. Claire touched the lives of many and her happiest moments were spent in celebration with friends and family around her table of plenty. As her family we were blessed to be part of a celebration of Claire’s life far more plentiful than we could have truly imagined. We are so very grateful to each and every one of you for joining us in that celebration and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Claire’s Family

IN MEMORIUM

GLEN BANDY April 7, 1924 – April 22, 2014 In loving memory of Dad. You never said I’m leaving, You never said goodbye, You were gone before I knew it, And only God knows why. A million times I needed you, A million times I cried, If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a place, No one can ever fill. RIP Dad Sadly missed, Lori and Doug

In memory of Shean, Chris, Eddie, Greg and Steph

HELP WANTED

Last night while I was trying to sleep, Your voice did I hear, I opened my eyes and looked around, But you did not appear. You said: you’ve got to listen, You’ve got to understand, God didn’t take me from you, He only took my hand. When I called out in pain that day, The instant that I died, He reached down and touched my hand, And pulled me to His side. He pulled me up and saved me, From the misery and the pain, My body was so badly hurt, I could never be the same. My search is really over now, I’ve found happiness within, All the answers to empty dreams, And all the might have been. I love you all & miss you so, And I’ll always be nearby, My body’s gone forever, But my spirit will never die! And live one day at a time, Just understand, God didn’t take me from you, He only took my hand!!

GLEN BANDY In loving memory of a Dad who passed away April 22, 2014. God saw he was getting tired, And a cure was not to be, So he put His arms around him, And whispered “Come with me” With tearful eyes we watched him Suffer and fade away, Although we could not bear to lose him, We could not bid him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands laid to rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. Always loved, Forever loved, Dianne and Kip and Family Forever missed and Never forgotten. From Mom (Mildred) & Earl

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

We knew that morning God was calling your name. In life we loved you dearly In death we do the same.

You left this world so suddenly, I think my heart went too, I feel so lost and lonely, & cry from missing you. My heart feels like it’s breaking, As I try to carry on, You were my life, my everything, But now my dear you are gone, I pray that God will give me strength, Until he calls me too, Then what joy will fill my heart, When I’m again with you.

Don died at Saint-Vincent Hospital after a long fight with brain cancer. He leaves behind his loving wife, Wallene (nee Michel) of 53 years, his two daughters, Stacey (Jake Duret), and Tani (Lawrence Bousquet), his three grandchildren, Greg, Briana and James, his sister, Marilyn Munro of Arnprior, and the two remaining cats, Calli and Blackie who have been missing him since June. He is predeceased by his father, Richard Munro, and his mother, Mary Godfrey Munro. Don, as everyone will remember, was interested in everything: history, especially war, science, mathematics, and biographies.

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
