MUNICIPAL ELECTION

Connected to your community

Still in Renfrew municipal race, but not for mayor steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Bill Ringrose isn’t seeking re-election as mayor, but wants to stay on council as a councillor.

Educated as an electrical engineer, Ringrose received his master’s degree in business administration from the University of Toronto and went on to a 25-year career with Ontario Hydro.

He retired in 1993 and soon after ran his own bookstore, Renfrew Bookroom, for five years.

He was also a citizen member on parks and recreation, and planning, committees before serving four terms as councillor and his current term as mayor.

Ringrose, 68, hears a move is afoot to totally recycle council, but he says a balanced approach make more sense.

“Find the right two or three new people and put them together with two or three people who understand the system and have the experience for a team that has a better chance of success,” he suggests.

“Life is about balance. You can’t do it by turfing out seven people and just hoping for the best.”

As mayor, he says he’s brought the town’s corporate system and procedures back on track, but feels he can contribute significantly to the new team.

Next term, Ringrose says the priority issues are roads improvements and lower taxes, fol-

lowed by economic development.

“People want to see road work, and fortunately we’re starting off with a bang, with Lisgar Avenue,” he says of the $2 million project that recently received 90 per cent provincial funding.

Council might also want to look at a midterm plan that identifies roads to be fixed in different parts of town, says Ringrose.

As for taxes, there could be room for smaller increases, if discretionary funds are spent differently and future salary increases are smaller, he says.

“I think there’s an opportunity for the town to reduce taxes significantly from where we have been historically.”

Meanwhile, he maintains interest away from politics.

The former minor hockey referee stays off skates to prevent recurrence of a knee injury, but remains active as a minor hockey timekeeper, Renfrew Rotary and Renfrew Golf Club member, avid reader of historic and adventure fiction, and stamp and model-trains collector.

He and Susan have three children and seven grandchildren.

Mayor Bill Ringrose is seeking a sixth term on Renfrew council.

Doering reflects on 23 years as public school board trustee Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News – Marjorie Doering says it’s time to retire and leave the rewarding opportunities as a school board trustee to someone else.

There have been big challenges and many changes in education over the past quarter-century. The Horton resident says she has been privileged to fill the position while striving to facilitate a good education for students in the public board.

First elected in 1988, she was a trustee with the Renfrew County District School Board until 1997, then took a threeyear break before returning as trustee, from 2000 to this

year.

“She’s been a champion for many of the innovative programs our board has implemented,” says public school board director of education Roger Clarke.

“Character Education has been her passion and she measures student success by academic growth over time and how students conduct themselves in school and life,” says Clarke.

“Marjorie has a soft spot for students who have faced adversity and yet achieved success at school.”

She’ll remain a trustee until late November, by which time she will have turned 80.

“It’s time to give someone else the opportunity. And the

Election Continued from front

Brookes’s campaign slogan is: New face, new ideas for a new council.

The retired nuclear process operator with Atomic Energy of Canada Limited moved to Renfrew from Westmeath a dozen years ago.

Locally, he’s perhaps best known as president of the Renfrew and District Food Bank.

The other candidates in the race for councillor are incumbent Clint McWhirter, current Mayor Bill Ringrose, Robert Debeau, Zenaida Raboy, Gregory Lewis, Arlene Jamieson and

night driving, when you’re beyond 80, is unrealistic,” she says of the monthly board meeting and other committee meetings that often end during the dark of winter.

She says it has been a wonderful and rewarding journey.

“I’m going to miss it all, just everything,” she says.

“I’m going to miss it for the number of years that it brought great quality to my life.”

Now, she suspects, that connection with the education sector will continue through two of her children, one a teacher and one a student support counsellor. “That still gives me a link,” says Doering, who’s married to John Doering, a past Horton reeve.

At a recent meeting of Horton council, Coun.

Margaret Whyte was kidded by fellow council members that she might have to run the next council by herself.

All jesting aside, as of press deadline she was still the only candidate to declare her candicacy for October’s municipal election in her municipality.

As of last week, only one candidate, Mark Tomlin in Ward Three (Griffith), had filed nomination papers for Greater Madawaska council.

None had filed for Admaston-Bromley for the October 2014 election.

Liberal transportation minister reiterates importance of Highway 417 expansion GLEN MURRAY, ONTARIO MINISTER OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND TRANSPORTATION

Murray’s comments to continue the expansion of Highway 17 through to Pembroke to provide the county with a more effective and safer route for families, recreational use, commercial traffic and commuters.� “I’m pleased that Minister Murray has publically identified the importance of this project,� agreed Petawawa Mayor Bob Sweet, chair of the county’s development and property committee. “The twinning of Highway 17 through the county will improve economic development opportunities and will significantly strengthen all county communities in efforts to attract investment, labour, talent, and tourists.�

Last month, a small contingent of elected representatives and staff from Arnprior and the County of Renfrew met with Murray at Arnprior’s Town Hall.

The minister was invited to the session

by Stack, who had talked to the Minister in February at the Good Roads Conference in Toronto.

At the meeting, the minister was presented with the report from the county that stressed that the twinning of Highway 17 creates a ‘critical link’ to other major highways in the county and beyond.

Murray was also taken on a tour of the four-laning work on the highway between Campbell and Scheel drives.

MPP SKEPTICAL

While pleased with Murray’s recognition of how important the continuing of the four-laning is to his riding, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski is concerned about how the government will get the money to pay for the $29-billion transportation program.

Noting details of the funding are lacking, he said he fears shuffling the gas tax will be only part of the equation, with new taxes likely.

He also noted that more than half of the money will be spent in the Toronto and Hamilton areas, leaving the minority to be split between projects in the rest of the project.

The infrastructure investments mentioned

by Wynne and Murray are highlighted in the province’s Rural Roadmap.

The report, released last week, outlines key government priorities aimed at building on the strengths of Ontario’s rural communities.

Those priorities include: • Developing a small, rural and northern municipal infrastructure program based on consultations with community leaders that will provide more predictable, reliable and sustained funding for consideration in the 2014 Ontario budget that will be unveiled May 1. • Focusing on manufacturing - rural Ontario’s second largest industry based on employment - to ensure the industry will continue to innovate, grow and successfully compete in today’s economy. • Continuing to provide rural-specific health-care investments through the Small and Rural Hospital Transformation Fund, which has funded patient care improvements in up to 64 hospitals across the province. • Continuing to revitalize communities, create jobs and grow local and regional economies through the Rural Economic Development Program. • Advancing a framework to help grow rural Ontario’s digital economy and working to address the existing gaps in rural Ontario’s broadband connectivity. • Creating a formal process to ensure government policies and programs reflect the needs and realities of rural communities.

In a news release, the provincial government said that since 2003 the province has invested more than $167 million in 468 Rural Economic Development Program projects, generating more than $1.2 billion in local economic activity and creating more than 35,000 jobs.

Every dollar invested in building or renewing infrastructure gives $1.14 back to Ontario’s GDP, it adds.

The province also claims that doctor-recruiting efforts have resulted in 95 per cent of rural residents now having access to a family doctor.

News - Renfrew council has awarded the engineering services contract for phases three and four of the Hall Avenue environmental assessment to Bytown Engineering (BTE).

The cost will be $48,393 plus harmonized sales tax.

With phases one and two having cost a total of $50,971, the entire project’s cost comes to $100,217, or just slightly above the budgeted amount.

All four phases were tendered back in the fall of 2011, when fees ranged from $100,000 to $190,000, which was over the town’s budget at the time.

Therefore, the town only proceeded with the first two phases at the time.

Development and works director Mike Asselin indicated that not completing the environmental assessment would permit Hall Avenue (in the Hunter Gate subdivision) to be a local road, but not a collector road, and that opening it as a collector road at a later date could prove problematic, by requiring modification to construction details.

The contract was awarded at the April 14 meeting of town council.

News - Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Glen Murray has repeated comments he made in Arnprior last month regarding the importance of extending the four-laning of Highway 17 up the Upper Ottawa Valley to Pembroke.

The remarks came as a follow-up to an announcement by Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne on April 14 that the provincial government’s $29-billion transportation plan will be funded in part by redirecting gas taxes. She said the aim of the plan is to spend about $15 billion in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton area and up to $14 billion in the rest of the province over the next 10 years.

In an interview on CBC Radio April 15, Murray mentioned Renfrew County and the continued twinning of Highway 17.

When asked about the government’s plan to widen highways, Murray said: “People do need to commute ‌ up to Arnprior we are extending the twinning of the 417 and we are expanding that, and that’s important because we need those highways for commercial truck traffic. All the way up through Arnprior to Pembroke, they have to get that same quality of highway that other people do.â€?

In a County of Renfrew news release, Warden Peter Emon said he was pleased to hear Murray cite components of the county’s report that focused on the need for the continued twinning of Highway 17. “I was happy to hear Minister Murray specifically mention the expansion of Highway 17, and I was also pleased to hear his comments about the expansion through to Pembroke,� he said. “I believe our business case has made a solid impact, and brought into sharp focus the necessity of investment in our highway infrastructure that will enable us to be competitive with other areas that have direct access to four-lane highways.� “Transportation is vital to the county’s economic success, the only means of moving people and goods is by road,� added Arnprior Reeve Walter Reeve Stack, the chair the county’s operations committee, “Rail service and other infrastructure have been removed from Renfrew County, and this has created a significant disadvantage for the county, leaving us totally reliant on the highway system. I applaud Minister

All the way up through Arnprior to Pembroke, they have to get that same quality of highway that other people do.

Town backhoe replaced for $86,000 and taxes News - Renfrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development and works department is trading in and replacing its 2002 backhoe at a cost of

$86,500 plus taxes.

The town is receiving $17,000 for its trade-in and a new 2014 Caterpillar that will provide a

determined 10 per cent in fuel savings. The new machine, which has an extended power train warranty, has a larger

front bucket than the former backhoe, a non-standard lighting package, and a reputation for reliability and good service.

The town is pleased with the performance and maintenance history of its two current Caterpillar backhoes.

MUNICIPAL ELECTION is to make things better for those students, and that’s a good feeling.”

In preparing to retire, Doering says she likes the guiding principles that create the foundation for her board’s strategic plan – excellence in teaching and learning; safe, caring and respectful leaning environments; and wise use of resources.

Resources, notes the board’s website, include a $2 million investment in 2012-13 in new and enhanced resources.

This included increased access to wireless devices, use of more Smart Boards, and access for Grade 7 and 8 students to the Laptops for Learning Program.

There have been many changes in education over the years, including expanded common curriculum; annual EQAO testing; and trustees’ responsibilities, including reduced involvement in financial matters.

Several years ago Doering says trustees had more local autonomy, with the ability to hire principals, direct more policy, negotiate salaries, and raise taxes to implement programs. Now, in contrast, policy, salary negotiations and funding is more controlled by the ministry of education.

These days, says Doering,

All seven of their children attended Horton Public School, one of several elementary schools closed during Doering’s time as trustee.

Others closed were Victoria, Ross Mineview, Keys, T.W. Morison, Hillcrest and Calabogie. And all were closed for the right reasons, says Doering, despite the pain the closures brought to students and their families.

Not closing them would have meant less provincial funding and fewer resources for teachers and students, she added.

Doering is among at least three trustees, along with Terry Harkins of Pembroke and Norm Hazelwood of Arnprior, who are not running for reelection this year.

Past trustees whom Doering refers to as mentors include Dorothy Stalkie and Ted Saar because of their thoughtfulness and commitment to education.

“I’ve worked with a wonderful group of people who all shared the goal of the (better) welfare of our children,” says Doering.

“Every decision you make

the trustees’ duties have more to do with governance and facilitating programs, just two of many examples being the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program and Summer Booster Program.

Another development is the changing focus from IQs to EQs, or what she refers to as emotional intelligence, says Doering.

“It’ll be the focus of the future because we know building the whole person is what is really important,” she insists.

“The goal of our schools is to support families, and find ways to develop the whole child socially, emotionally, intellectually and physically.”

Board chairman David Kaiser of Eganville says Doering will be missed.

“She’s just a pleasure to work with,” he says. “She speaks her mind and she sticks to the issues.”

Doering’s time as a trustee overlapped with her career in public health, after receiving her BSc in nursing, and diplomas in public health and community mental health, from the University of Ottawa.

“When I was trying to make a decision of what to do, it was either teacher or nurse. I had a STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND passion for health and educa- Horton resident Marjorie Doering says she’ll miss being a trustee for the Renfrew County tion,” recalls Doering.

Coun. Andrew Evans wants more details on the Thomas Low Generating Station project.

Councillor seeks financial details on Renfrew Power Generation project Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Renfrew councillor Andrew Evans is still seeking answers from Renfrew Power Generation.

Four line items, under the heading of project management, caught the attention of Evans during RPGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special shareholders meeting last November. The items were part of the budget summary for the Thomas Low Generating Project.

The items added up to a little south of $1 million. The projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entire budget is projected at $20 million, although RPG took out a bank loan for $22 million in case of unforeseen expenses.

Renfrew council members were eligible to attend that meeting, since the Town of Renfrew is the one shareholder of the private company.

Subsequently, Evans sought explanations for the four line items, with the assistance of town clerk Kim Bulmer, but they were told details would not be forthcoming.

Evans brought up his concerns at the Renfrew council meeting April 14, when Mayor Bill Ringrose indicated he would speak to Renfrew Power Generation officials to see if more

details could become available. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still have obligations when it comes to matters of the town and its assets. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been given the information I need,â&#x20AC;? said Evans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would never suspect anything,â&#x20AC;? claimed Evans, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but again itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our obligation and our right to have this information.â&#x20AC;?

Later, he told The Renfrew Mercury, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to find out how theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re spending their money, so I asked council for assistance.â&#x20AC;?

After speaking to RPG officials, Ringrose said he hopes to provide some details at councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s April 28 meeting.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible that the financial figures might fall under confidentiality guidelines, so any details might have to be provided in-camera, said Ringrose.

If some explanation isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forthcoming, the mayor said council could consider supporting a resolution that calls for additional action by town council.

Meanwhile, construction on the Thomas Low Generating Project continues, to replace the generating stations that are both more than 100 years old. Construction on the 1.5-year construction project began last summer.

A dozen Heroes in the Home awards presented to devoted Renfrew County caregivers Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Caregivers from across Renfrew County were recognized for their invaluable contributions at the Champlain CCAC’s Heroes in the Home Caregiver Recognition Awards ceremony April 3.

The Community Care Access Centre awards were presented to 12 individuals – family members, friends, volunteers and health-care professionals – whose kindness and commitment allow others to live full lives in their communities, despite the limitations of age, illness or disability.

Faced with unimaginable challenges, caregivers often sacrifice their careers and their own health to provide medical care, emotional support and daily assistance to those in need.

About 13 million Canadians have provided unpaid care to someone they know.

Caregivers play a vital role in Canada’s health care system.

The estimated value of their work amounts to an economic contribution of roughly $25 billion annually across the country.

“The success of the Champlain CCAC depends on the continued commitment and compassion of paid and unpaid caregivers,” said Cham-

It is an honour to get the award. You don’t do it to get any kind of recognition.

- DOUGLAS CAREGIVER RITA GANNON

plain CCAC chief executive officer Gilles Lanteigne in a news release.

“They are essential partners in care across the region, in every community. Congratulations and thank you to this year’s Heroes in the Home award recipients.”

Heroes in the Home events were also held in Ottawa April 1 and Cornwall April 2.

The Renfrew County winners were Rita Gannon of Douglas, Donna Foster of Chalk River, Lillian and Claude Jeannotte of Eganville, Yvonne Kosnaskie of Combermere, Margaret Ann Labine of Pembroke, Brad Lynch of Eganville, Kim Maves of Braeside, Russell Morton, Georgina and Shawn Neville of Petawawa, Shirley Regan of Barry’s Bay, Dianne Smaglinski of Barry’s Bay, Doug Thompson of Wilno, Erika von der Hoeh and Bonnie Welsh.

DOUGLAS CAREGIVER

Gannon, a former resident

of Renfrew, moved to Douglas 28 years ago so she could look after her mom.

Years later, Gannon says being a dependable caregiver is demanding, but comes with definite rewards.

Gannon looks after her husband Reg, 63, and mother Edna Coleman, who turns 97 in May, in their Douglas home.

Referring to his wife, Reg says, “She’s been good. She does everything right.”

After suffering a stroke in March 2013, he was discharged from the hospital and continued his rehabilitation program at home with the help of his wife as well as physiotherapists and an occupational therapist from Champlain CCAC. Reg is also benefitting from caregiver support after undergoing a March 2014 knee replacement.

The biggest reward from being a caregiver, says Gannon, is “just being able to keep them (my husband and mother) in their home and see them smiling and happy.”

Getting the Heroes in the Home award is just a bonus.

“It is an honour to get it.

You don’t do it to get any kind of recognition,” says Gannon.

“You do it to because you want to keep them comfortable in their own home.”

Renfrewite singer-songwriter James Leclaire performs on stage.

Clothes. That song is about being dressed to the nines … for his own funeral.

“I wasn’t trying to be morbid, it was just what came out,” said Leclaire, 38, who was strumming his guitar and humming a melody that included the words ‘my best clothes’.

Pursuing those words, he got to thinking that people often wear their best clothes to church, so why not to one’s own funeral.

Reverting back to reallife experiences, Leclaire uses his dad as the focus of one of his favourite songs in his rookie album, Stay for a While. The song is The Ballad of Ron Leclaire, in which James uses a ‘talking’ song to tell the story of his dad’s stick-to-it attitude and high work ethic, and how much his dad had done for him.

After playing the song a few years ago, Leclaire recalls how a heavy-metal musician came up to him afterwards, all teary-eyed,

to say how much the song had moved him.

A few years later, it is that very quality that Leclaire is most pleased with in his career as a professional musician.

“It’s the level of my lyricism, of my story-telling, that I’m most proud of,” says Leclaire, who now lives in Manotick.

He is the son of former Renfrew M&R Feeds and Farm Supply owners Ron and Marilyn Leclaire. The owner is James’s only brother, Joe.

“When I saw Dylan alone on stage singing such deep meaningful songs with just guitar and harmonics, I was hooked,” he says.

News - The career of singer-songwriter James Leclaire, who grew up in Renfrew, continues on the upswing.

He performs tomorrow night at the Crown and Kilt Pub in Renfrew, but his biggest stage to date will be this summer’s Ottawa Bluesfest, where he’ll be among the featured performers opening night.

Canada’s largest blues festival comes to LeBreton Flats, where Leclaire will play July 3 on the indoor stage in the Canadian War Museum.

Other performers that night will include Blake Shelton, Gary Clark Jr., Fiftymen and Danny Brown, while Lady Gaga is the most celebrated musician during the 11-day festival.

“It’s the 20th anniversary of Bluesfest, so I’m honoured to be part of that,” said Leclaire, knowing big crowds attend the festival that attracted more than 250,000 spectators last year.

By the time the 2014 Ottawa Bluesfest arrives, his third full-length album will have come out – Of What Is Left.

One of the album’s featured songs is Of What Is Left, the story about a drug addict’s descent.

Two other Renfrew natives, bassist Christopher MacLean and drummer Michael Hunter, will perform on his new album and at Bluesfest.

Like many of his songs, Of What Is Left is not reflective of his own life.

Instead, they are a combination of escapism, others’ real-life encounters and storytelling.

“My music is about storytelling,” says Leclaire, noting his songs often tell stories that are more intriguing than normal life. He defines his major genres as alternative country and folk music.

His country music roots include hearing Conway Twitty eight-tracks in his dad’s Buick station wagon.

The king of folk, Bob Dylan, is also a major influence in Leclaire’s musi-

OPINION

Connected to your community

EDITORIAL

Separate fact from fiction Opinion - The best man in Ottawa has taken a tumble, courtesy of some shotgun silliness emerging from yet another sensitivity-spooked sports organization in the capital.

When the Ottawa RedBlacks introduced Big Joe Mufferaw as the football team’s new mascot, it was to the applause of hundreds of delighted children at the Kanata French public school in Morgan’s Grant. The school’s viceprincipal, Matthieu Vachon, said Mufferaw was “a wonderful choice of name.”

“Jos Montferrand is a pioneer of French language rights in Ontario, so it’s a great choice of name for the mascot of the team, and it shows the heritage of Ottawa and eastern Ontario,” he said.

It’s important to note that Big Joe Mufferaw is a fictional character created by Ottawa Valley author Bernie Bedore and was inspired by the exploits of a French Canadian logger.

But only three days after the announcement, following a string of “several” complaints, the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group, the group that owns the RedBlacks, gave the name the old heave-ho, deciding to go with Big Joe or Grand Jos. Apparently, the sports group was deluged with “several” emails and phone calls (it didn’t quite reach “dozens” proportions) complaining how the name was an anglicized version of

Montferrand.

And don’t forget the “several” people who expressed their displeasure over the Twitterverse, with messages denouncing the football team’s sensitivity to the sensitivities of French Canadians.

It’s time for a reality check: Big Joe Mufferaw is a fictional character. You can dislike a fictional character. You can refuse to read a book or watch a movie about a fictional character.

But it’s more than a little silly if you try to stop others from reading or watching movies about a fictional character.

Clearly, the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group (OSEG) was a little gun shy about offending francophones, considering it was only a few months away from the newly-created team’s season opener at Lansdowne Park.

OSEG should have shown a little backbone and stuck with its original choice.

Renfrew and other Valley communities will be a key market for the new RedBlacks of the Canadian Football League, and this area’s strong tie to all things heritage, especially characters like Joe Mufferaw, make the lumberjack mascot a likeable fellow indeed.

History has shown us that a small and determined group of people can make a real difference in this world. But sometimes they shouldn’t.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thanks for caring for mother To the editor: Opinion - On February 10, 2014 my mother Hannaliese Hoseas moved into Caressant Care in Cobden.

It didn’t take long before she was taking part in the many activities offered there.

When mom was hospitalized in March the staff at the nursing home made sure to let me know that they were praying for her recovery and that they missed having her around.

Everyone commented on how much they liked Mom. She always had a story to tell.

When Mom started to feel better all she wanted was to go home to Cobden.

Unfortunately, Mom passed away on April 8, just shy of her 90th birthday.

The staff and management were compassionate and caring to us the family and in preserving Mom’s dignity during her final hours.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of those care givers for that.

I know in my heart there could not have been a better choice of nursing home for my mother and pray that when my time comes, I will be fortunate enough to be a resident there as well.

The Ontario Liberal government under pressure from the hunting lobbyists have allowed the spring bear hunt to begin this spring in eight different areas in the province.

This action will now allow hunters to hunt black bears.

Bears are the only big game animal with dependent young that are hunted in the spring.

Natural Resources Minister David Oraziett’s (Liberal party) states the program will ban hunting cubs or female bears with cubs.

Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources report 2009 found 34 per cent of bears killed in the spring are female and an average of 17 per cent of those are adults with cubs.

The orphaned cubs die of dehydration, starvation and predation.

Province should end bear hunt Minister Orazietti, according to your own Ministry, banning spring bear hunting for female bears and cubs doesn’t work.

In the eight areas where the Liberals have opened the spring hunt, the black bears will be hunted and chased by hunting dogs for a total of five months each year.

Given the fact that bears hibernate for the winter, this pro-hunting action the Liberals have done will give little peace for the bears.

Baiting and killing hungry bears in the spring is like shooting fish in a barrel.

Killing these animals is not a solution as other bears will move into the vacant areas resulting in the continued killing of bears and the orphaning of their cubs.

The minister should reinstate completely the excellent bear wise program in these areas and also the rest of the

If the minister is determined to continue this barbaric ‘hunt’, he should allocate significant funds to those who are licenced rehabilitators so they can care for the injured and orphaned cubs.

No such thing as a family pet on the farm Lifestyle - It was a wet and long spring that year. And the winter coldness was yet to fade away to warmer days, leaving a chill in the air that seemed to penetrate our very bones.

But it was lambing time, and the joy of welcoming those tiny little bodies of wool out on the farm in Northcote, took away the greyness of the season, and filled my heart with unspeakable joy.

Although I never wanted to see the actual births, it wasn’t long after the deliveries that I was in the barn, leaning on the board rail of the lambing pen, watching the mothers nudge their babies and they, with wobbly legs trying, to find firm footing.

That year Father was pleased with the number of lambs born in the barn, and with two or three ewes yet to birth, everything pointed to a bit of relief from the cares of the Depression. There would be wool and meat to market, easing the constant worries of survival when poverty was all around us.

When the very last ewe delivered, two tiny bodies emerged, but alas, one was as black as ink. Father who prided him-

self on the white wool he took to market, shook his head, and then said, “don’t think its going to make it anyway... it’s just a little runt of a thing, I doubt if it will see the end of the day.

At that very moment I claimed the little black lamb for my very own. I called it Lambie most of the time, but sometimes, called it Blackie. I asked Father if I could look after it, and from then on, the little lamb and I were inseparable.

I fed it milk from a little bottle belonging to one of my dolls, and to my utter joy, not only did it survive that day, and the night, but began to show signs of growing into a healthy and sturdy sheep. I was too young to know that you didn’t raise domestic animals on the farm as pets. They would eventually end up at the market, or in the smoke house. Or, more than likely, I just put the thought out of my mind. Lambie and I would grow old together.

And it grew, and only when I was at school or in the house, or

in bed, were we apart.

It followed me around the barn yard, and while it was still tiny, I carried it in my arms as if it were a little puppy. And I watched in wonder, as Lambie grew. I even hated to go off to school and leave Lambie behind.

My brother Emerson thought it was pure nonsense to have a lamb as a pet. “It’s not a lamb anymore,” he said. “It’s a full grown sheep.” As if that made a whit of difference about how I felt about Lambie. It would always be a baby sheep as far as I was concerned.

I remember the day everything changed. It was a cold and wet late spring day. I wondered if summer would ever come.

We had to wear our rubber rain coats to the Northcote school, and rubber boots and carry our shoes with our books and lunch.

As we neared the house after school, I could see that Mother even had the lamps lit, and for once I didn’t go to the barn, but stayed in the cozy kitchen.

And then it was suppertime, and I still hadn’t gone to the barn to check on Lambie, sure that it would be as warm as toast

on a mound of hay with all the other sheep.

Our supper was ample as usual, and just as I was tucking into my bowl of apple crisp, Emerson, who had been unusually quiet all through the meal, asked me if I enjoyed my meal. Which was unusual for Emerson, because he was usually only interested in his own stomach.

I assured him I did.

“Well, you just ate Lambie,” he said.

I looked around the table. No one raised their eyes. Mother busied herself at the stove, and Father reached over and patted my hand, and told me again that we couldn’t raise farm animals as pets.

Nausea swept over me like a cold wet blanket, and I ran to the privy like someone possessed.

My stomach ached from being so sick and I thought I may not survive. Could anyone die from a broken heart, I wondered?

The feeling of utter sadness and helplessness stayed with me long after that fateful night had passed. It was the night I vowed never again in my lifetime would I ever eat a mouthful of lamb.

Our Mr. Chips He always had a smile on his lips With Hello darlin’ what would like?

That was our ‘Mr. Chips’ The red truck stood on Raglan, It was a place to stop To get your fries good & hot That was our ‘Mr. Chips’ He never said no to a cause or need, There was always a can to fill Or a poster to read That was our ‘Mr. Chips’ The Angels in heaven are happy to see That red truck with Doug behind the wheel Greeting them with “Hello there darlin’, what do you need?”

Fairness works only if corporations and their representatives are held accountable in the same way perpetrators or other crimes are held to account.

On Monday, April 28, we mourn those who have died. However, the deaths of these workers are also a reminder that all levels of government must do more to enforce our health and safety laws, and vigorously prosecute violations when a worker is killed or seriously injured. It is time for fair and equal treatment before the law for workplace injuries and deaths.

Together we have made good progress protecting workers’ health and safety, but we have to keep fighting for safer workplaces for everyone.

Unions are about more than decent jobs for workers.

The labour movement also works to make workplaces safe for everyone.

Yet, each year thousands of Canadians are killed or injured on the job or died from work-related diseases.

In 2012, 979 Canadians died because of their work, but we know the numbers are higher because official figures only capture those who received workers’ compensation benefits. Hundreds more die from under-reported illnesses and occupational diseases that go unrecognized in the compensation systems.

Despite the frequency and tragedy of these deaths, negligent corporations that kill workers face little public, po-

litical or legal scrutiny.

While police routinely investigate and lay charges related to homicides, different rules seem to apply to workplace fatalities.

We should not tolerate a situation where companies willfully neglect health and safety measures that would prevent injury and death.

For example, nearly two years after a Burns Lake, B.C., explosion and fire took the lives of two workers, it was announced that neither criminal charges nor charges under the provincial workers compensation or occupational health and safety legislation would be laid.

Justice is not being served. We must have through scrutiny for potential criminal liability on the part of those employers who are negligent.

Governments have a responsibility to properly enforce health and safety laws and the criminal code. Yet the same politicians who claim to be tough on crime are soft on corporations responsible for workers’ injuries and deaths.

This amounts to unequal treatment

John YAKABUSKI MPP

www.johnyakabuski.com “Memories of Jim Flaherty” I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the state funeral for the Hon. Jim Flaherty in Toronto last week.

The service was indeed a moving and emotional one with tributes by our Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Jim’s sister Norah, and his wife Christine Elliott with their triplet boys John, Galen and Quinn.

While the funeral service has received wide coverage I would like to share a couple of personal memories of Jim Flaherty that have given me a greater understanding of his commitment to public service and those less fortunate.

When I was elected in 2003, Jim Flaherty was one of the people that I gravitated to as someone I could learn from.

And learn from him I did. Seeing Jim ply his craft aided me in my decision to commit very early to supporting him for the party’s leadership in 2004. While Jim ultimately did not win that contest I never did regret my decision, and through that race I became more and more convinced that he would have excelled as leader.

One of the memories that I look back on and enjoy was the time that after having a delegate meeting in Pembroke followed by another one in Barry’s Bay, Jim agreed to join me at the opening of the Palmer Rapids Country and Bluegrass festival. It was a Friday evening, so we drove separately because he was going to be heading back to Toronto as he had events to do in Southern Ontario the following day. I’ll never forget the look on his face when we finally arrived at the festival on the banks of the Madawaska River. Jim looked somewhat relieved, and he said to me “Yak I had no idea where we were going, but as we got deeper into these backwoods all I kept thinking of was the movie Deliverance.” We shared a good laugh and talked about it on more than a few occasions after that.

I’ll share another event that took place after Jim had been elected to the Federal Parliament and appointed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper as the Finance Minister.

This made him perhaps, next to the Prime Minister himself, the busiest politician in the country. I called Jim up on his cellphone (yes, even as Finance Minister he still made himself accessible) and mentioned that I was participating in a fundraising golf tournament in the Whitby area along with my brothers Frank and Lawrie to aid the victims of Tuberous Sclerosis (a little understood but debilitating multi-system genetic disease), and asked if he would be able to join us. Jim said he’d get back to me as soon as possible. Within a couple of days he called me back and said he’d be glad to join us, that he might be a little late because of a morning commitment, but he would get there as soon as he could. I can tell you that it poured rain for most of the tournament and Jim, who as I said would be one of the busiest people in the country, smiled throughout the downpours glad to participate in a charitable event. He even stayed afterwards throughout the entire dinner portion, and made an even greater contribution by bidding on a bicycle on a silent auction – saying “Yak you’ve got a van eh? You can get this home for me, right”. This spoke volumes to me about how Jim cared about those less fortunate, and the compassion he had for their trials in life.

These are only a couple, I could share many. I consider myself fortunate to have known this man whose stature was so much greater than the frame he walked in.

He will be missed.

Renfrew OPP investigate break-ins at Arnprior and Renfrew homes DOMESTIC DISPUTES

Ontario Provincial Police

Overnight Saturday, April 12 someone attempted to kick in the back door on a residence on Second Avenue in Arnprior. The suspect was unable to break the door, as it was secured with a deadbolt. There was, however, damage to the frame. Const. Troy Dobbie is investigating.

A home on Quarry Avenue in Renfrew was entered sometime during the day on Saturday, April 12. The thief entered through an unlocked door and stole an iPad, Xbox and several games, and some change. There is a suspect and Const. Jamie Prince is continuing to investigate.

Renfrew OPP officers responded to nine domestic disputes recently. One male was charged with four counts of assault and one count of sexual assault, one male was charged with criminal harassment, one male was charged with assault with a weapon, and one male was charged with assault and domestic mischief IMPAIRED DRIVER

On Tuesday, April 15 police officers were advised of a vehicle in the ditch and the male driver being possibly impaired.

Officers attended to the ve-

hicle on Baskin Drive in Arnprior and located a male trying to drive the vehicle out of the ditch.

A 67-year-old Arnprior man was arrested and subsequently refused to provide a sample of his breath. He was charged with impaired driving, and refusing to provide a breath sample. He was released from custody on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew on May 14. Const. Steph Trembley investigated.

THEFTS

• An ice chisel was stolen from the back of a pick-up truck while parked at the Arnprior Hospital. The tool was

stolen March 27 in the afternoon.

• On Thursday, April 10 a female was observed by store employees placing items into her purse. She was at the Metro grocery store and left the store making no attempt to go through the cash and pay for the items. Police were called and the female was arrested a short distance away. A 39year-old woman from Golden Lake was charged with theft under $5,000 and possession of stolen property under $5,000. She was held in custody for a bail hearing and was released at the bail hearing on a recognizance, and will appear in court in Renfrew on April 30. Const. Mark Yarmel

investigated.

• A black tool box was stolen from a property on Burnstown Road in Horton Township. The tool box was placed on the lawn with a for-sale sign. On Sunday, April 13, between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., someone stole the tool box.

The tool box is the type that fits in the bed of a pick-up truck. There are no suspects.

DRUG POSSESSION

On Thursday April 10 at about 11:30 a.m., police received information on the whereabouts of someone wanted on an arrest warrant.

Officers attended a residence on Vimy Boulevard in

Renfrew and arrested a male.

Further investigation revealed the male and a female attended the residence bringing a cooler with them.

Inside the cooler, police located suspected marijuana and cocaine.

A 32-year-old Renfrew man and 28-year-old Dacre woman were arrested and charged with possession of a Schedule 1 drug – cocaine, and possession of a Schedule 2 drug-marijuana. Both people were released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew on June 11. The man was turned over to the Ottawa Police to deal with their arrest warrant.

Const. Kevin Rebertz investigated.

Be patient and courteous when sharing the road with horse-drawn vehicles Motorists in Renfrew and area will soon notice an increase in horse-drawn carriages as several have been seen on roads in the area recently.

Being a safe and responsible driver takes a combination of knowledge, skill and attitude.

You need to do more than just obey the rules. You must care about the safety of others on the road. Recognize the Slow Moving Vehicle Emblem – Brake Immediately.

While driving on area rural roads or highways; you may encounter horse-drawn vehicles. It is important to recognize the slow-moving vehicle sign as a warning to adjust your speed.

Slow moving vehicle signs are attached to the rear of animal-drawn vehicles and on other vehicles designed to travel at speeds no greater than 40 km per hour.

Because it may be difficult to judge the speed at which you are closing in on such a

vehicle, you should slow down immediately.

Pass with caution. Be watchful of vehicles behind you that may also try to pass.

If you must enter the oncoming lane of traffic, do not pass unless you can see clearly ahead of both you and the vehicle you will pass.

If there are any curves or hills ahead that may block your view of oncoming vehicles, do not pass.

Leave a Safe Distance – Often drivers of horse-drawn ve-

Family pays tribute to Ernestine St. Louis Dianne Groves

Community - She was an icon, she was our rock.

Her name was Ernestine St. Louis, but everyone knew her as Teenie. She was called many names â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mom, Memere, Grandma, GreatGrandma and we all loved her dearly and still do in our hearts.

Our Dad passed away leaving her alone in a huge house without a driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licence at age 65. She was determined to be independent, so went out and bought herself a car and had no problems getting her learners and then her licence within four months.

After seven years, she sold the house where they had raised their family of nine children and moved into a seniors apartment. She continued to be extremely independent until she started to feel ill and complained about her stomach swelling. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really notice how much, as she was always dressed so stylishly with clothes that complimented her shape.

We were shocked with the diagnosis of advanced ovarian cancer in the summer of 2010 and with the prognosis of possibly three months with palliative chemo for comfort only.

With this devastating news, we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think she would be with us for Christmas, so from that moment on we celebrated every occasion with her like it was her last, cherishing every moment with her. After enduring palliative chemo for nine months, her treatments came to an end. She was referred to Hospice Renfrew for consult visitations for symptom control, thus the beginning of her journey with the most compassionate, loving people all of us ever had the privilege of being introduced to.

Mom accepted her destiny with dignity. Being a fervent Catholic, she ensured us that she lived a good life and was ready to move on. She called Hospice Renfrew her home and the staff and volunteers there her extended family.

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t long before she held each and every staff member dearly in her heart.

She could sense when they were in need of assistance also and prayed for them and was proud of their accomplishments.

She loved every one of them and they in turn showed her such compassion, kindness and love, that she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for more. We, the family, always felt so welcome and

PHOTOS SUBMITTED BY FAMILY

Ernestine St. Louis over time became very close with them. The staff, and when we say staff we mean everyone, including volunteers, never neglected to give her the comfort she needed with each declining stage. It was never a question of her having to suffer in any way; when she was in pain, it would be taken care of; when she was feeling down, they had enough hugs and loving words to bring a smile to her face.

And not just for our Mom, but to us the family, they recognized our needs as well and provided us with a shoulder to lean on, hugs and words of comfort to add a ray of sunshine to our day. We would draw comfort in knowing that when we went back to our own home at night, it was with peace of mind that she was well taken care of. In her ďŹ nal stage, we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave her any more and spent our nights with her as well.

She always tried to be in control of her destiny even with recommendations from medical staff and they accepted and respected her ďŹ nal decisions until she thought she was ready to move on to the next step.

We set her up with a cell phone to communicate with us, and us with her, and astonished us all when she asked us to teach her how to text â&#x20AC;&#x201C; still wanting to be independent and wanting to learn at the age of 87; again the staff were more than willing to help out when she needed it.

The Hospice Renfrew staff go above and beyond caring for their patients, always there when needed, always ready to make their patients as comfortable as they possibly can; the volunteers always with a smile, ready to provide whatever is needed to make patients and family feel so much at home; the gardeners giving in to patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; every whim â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mom voiced one day that it would be nice to have a lilac bush planted in their gardens, even though she knew she would never see it, but she could envision it, and it was done.

The tomatoes were al-

As Hospice Renfrew prepares for Hike for Hospice Sunday, May 4, the family of Ernestine St. Louis pays tribute. ways such a great temptation and the hospice gardens provided such an abundance, she would venture out, when able, to steal or so she thought, and satisfy her craving.

She always had a passion for fresh tomatoes.

The ďŹ&#x201A;ower garden below her window gave her such pleasure and it was to her approval the care the volunteers took to plant every ďŹ&#x201A;ower and seed in it; when she had a potted plant, we were instructed by her to place it in a certain spot in that garden and without a word, they always got planted and in that exact same spot.

Once a week she was pampered with a foot massage which she looked so forward to, complete with rubbing oil and cream on her feet, a volunteer she became very close with, both sharing their own stories.

The volunteers and staff were always ready to please, including whatever she wanted for meals, always ready to cook what she wished, no matter when and if she craved something they did not have, it was picked up on the next shopping tripâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; whatever she wanted, she got! Volunteers took turns to come in and bake cookies, mufďŹ ns or squares, always leaving the most delightful aromas ďŹ&#x201A;oating around the kitchen and making it around to the rooms, drawing you in to sample some.

Flowers were always in abundance and brightened up the rooms ďŹ lling the place with beautiful colors all the time.

Every room is equipped with a large window and Mom would take such great pleasure watching the deer that would come up to the feeders, the antics of the black and red squirrels, and the plentiful birds always coming for a drink or a bath in the bird bath outside her window, which she kept a watchful eye on and would comment when it was empty knowing staff would quickly ďŹ ll it for her.

The care that Hospice Renfrew staff and volunteers give is phenomenal and the patients are comfortable at all times. So comfortable that at times Mom actually believed that she shouldn`t be there, that she was taking up a room that someone else needed more.

Living in the Valley, you end up meeting a lot of people you know in there, from neighbours, relatives, friends and their friends, and all being there for the same reason, ďŹ nd comfort in each other. You become like one big family and treated like family by all the wonderful staff.

What a great resource to have here in the Valley where within reasonable distance we should be so fortunate to have.

In 2013, we participated in the Hike for Hospice and Mom was overjoyed watching us prepare for the hike in her room. She was so excited and proud with our team approach and with the beginning of our Team Teenie theme.

This year our family will proudly participate in the Hike and don our special tshirts once again in support of Hospice Renfrew and in memory of Teenie, our Mom, Memere, Grandma and Great-Grandma.

Hospice Renfrew is such a much-needed establishment to have in our community, providing end-oflife care for terminally-ill family members.

While they are partially government funded, they also rely substantially on volunteers and the generosity of greatly needed donations for support.

Mom was an angel of life, but Hospice Renfrew staff are surely angels of mercy! â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mom, you will always remain in our hearts forever and it was a privilege to have shared our lives with you.â&#x20AC;?

Her last words to us were: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love you, God Blessâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love you too Mom, God Bless.â&#x20AC;?

Swans migrating to their nesting grounds in the north Lifestyle -Swans were seen in three locations last weekend. Bob and Babe Rousselle saw a pair of swans in the open water on Constant Creek, Edythe Elmore and her seven year old grandson Colton Leuyer saw three swans on the Ottawa River near Castleford and John and Glenna McIntyre saw a single swan among a huge flock of Canada geese in a field on Lochwinnoch Road.

Sightings of swans have become more frequent in the past few years.

Trumpeter and Tundra swans were extirpated from Ontario in the 1880s by overhunting. There has been some success in re-establishing nesting sites on their original breeding grounds in Ontario.

In the air, swans appear very white with long necks, broad wings and short legs. Cranes and herons appear dark with broad wings, long necks out front and long legs out behind.

Both have slow, deep wingbeats.

Trumpeter swans have a long flat bill that appears to surround the eye, Tundra swans have a small, black bill that ends in front of the eyes. Trum-

ly see many of them for more than a few days before they move on to their chosen nesting sites. Because the season is late by almost three weeks they must shorten their courting time and get on with nest building, egg laying and incubating duties, thus the rush.

GOLDEN EAGLES

Gord McMillan at Golden Lake has seen more than 20 different golden eagles during this past winter. He has been able to video many hours of digital footage and with careful study both in the field and of the digital film has been able to distinguish the individual birds. I have been able to see many of the videos and can vouch for their exceptional quality.

Gord will be releasing a video of his work within the next few months.

SANDHILL CRANE

peter swans weigh 22 to 26 pounds (10-14 kg), Tundra swans weigh 9 to 20 pounds (4-9 kg).

WAVES OF BIRDS ARRIVE

Judy and Murray Borer had flocks of song sparrows, chipping sparrows, white-throated sparrows, fox sparrows and dark-eyed juncos arrive at their feeders the day before our last snow fall. Andy and Sharon Tait had dark-eyed juncos, song sparrows, goldfinches, large flocks of robins and hundreds of Canada geese making their way northward.

Many of these birds will stay to nest in this area but we will not like-

Don Ring saw a sandhill crane on Whalen Road looking for a mate and a nest site. Single cranes are seldom seen this time of year. They usually keep their previous year’s mate; choose a mate on the wintering grounds or the nesting grounds.

Their large size, long neck out front, dangling legs out back while in flight and loud rolling bugle call are the best field marks. If you have a site where you can observe mated pairs watch for their spectacular mating dance. Facing each other, they leap into the air with wings extended and feet thrown forward. They bow to each other while giving loud calls, they then repeat the dance.

WOOD DUCKS

Dorothy Campbell was surprised when she opened the drapes in her front room and saw a pair of wood ducks roosting in a poplar tree just outside the window. She said that the drake was magnificent in his spring plumage but the female was much plainer and was well hidden among the branches. The birds inspected the tree for some time searching for a nest site before moving away.

Activities will include swimming, sailing lessons, campfires, a dance, evening activities like flashlight tag and the Amazing Race, sports and leadership programming and team building.

“This is a terrific opportunity for Renfrew County youth to spend some time at Red Pine, meet new friends and have a lot of fun,” says Edwards, who first attended Red Pine when it was a boys’ camp.

To learn more about Red Pine Youth Leadership Camp, visit www.redpinecamp.org<http:// www.redpinecamp.org/> Email inquiries may be directed to Barbara Fisher at leadership@redpinecamp.org<mailto: leadership@redpinecamp.org> The registration deadline is May 15.

The camp fee, which include all meals, accommodation and programming, is $500.

SHORT ENCOUNTERS

Grant and Dorothy Dobson at Connaught Nursery had an opportunity to see a wood thrush at close range. Rita Lafrance and her son Patrick saw two Baltimore orioles near Coldingham Lake. Barbara Potvin says that the heated bird bath is about $162 and is available at naturesway. ca. Joyce Allen sent us a “warning web,” a method of preventing birds from colliding with windows.

The static cling decal can be placed on the inside or outside of the windowss.

The birds avoid it because they think it is a spider web. They’re available at bird supply stores.

Mallards return

Red Pine Camp to offer youth leadership camp Lifestyle - Although Red Pine Camp at Golden Lake began more than 100 years ago as a camp for children and youth, for the past 45 years it has been focused entirely on families.

That’s about to change.

This year, Red Pine is offering a leadership camp for youth ages 12 to 15 from Aug. 24 to 29.

Organizers would especially like to involve young people from across the Renfrew County area.

Camp directors include long-time teachers Ted Edwards, who has been attending Red Pine for more than 65 years, and Janet Cottreau, who has extensive experience in leadership development.

Youth will stay in cabins with counsellors and all meals will be provided.

wood ducks perching in trees but that is where they nest, usually in natural cavities, old woodpecker holes or in artificial nest boxes.

Majestic mallards can be spotted in marshes and ditches across Renfrew County. The male can be identified by its bright emerald green head.

Some of the possibilities are: â&#x20AC;˘ arranging natural materials and objects found on the ground into your creative piece; â&#x20AC;˘ bringing your own art supplies, musical instrument, poetry book, journal; â&#x20AC;˘ coming with nothing but a willingness to open your eyes, ears and senses.

No artistic experience is necessary and there will be many opportunities to participate in collaborative creative projects with mentors around to prompt and encourage.

The emphasis is on creativity and nature â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not art or artists.

Three special â&#x20AC;&#x153;WOWâ&#x20AC;? spots have been selected as focal points, but with the eight kilometres of trails winding through woodlands, by beaver ponds and through meadows, you may just find that special spot that speaks to your soul and cries out for creative expression. There may be no Maypole, but dance around your favourite tree!

Once you have completed your creation, take it for immediate display in the barn or submit a photo, a short video or a CD as a keepsake of your creativity and a tribute to the inspirational value of Nature.

On Sunday, continue on with your own creative project or simply appreciate the creative pieces on display. The Creativity Blitz takes place rain or shine, so dress appropriately.

A map can be found at www.mmltc.ca. For more information, visit the website, send an email to Jacquie.christiani@bell.net or phone 613-624-5530.

Moose hunting opportunities slashed

Ontario’s spring turkey hunt around the corner

Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters

Sustainable wild turkey populations lead to expanded hunting opportunities Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters

Lifestyle - Nothing says springtime like the sound of a distant gobble in the turkey woods. The spring turkey hunting season starts Friday, April 25 and runs to Saturday, May 31 and this season offers more opportunities for Ontario hunters than ever before.

Sustainable wild turkey populations in Ontario have allowed for additional spring and fall hunting opportunities in 2014. For the first time, the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) has introduced new spring turkey hunting seasons in Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) 42 (Sudbury district) and WMUs 47, 49 and 50 (North Bay and Parry Sound districts). A new fall hunting season will take place in WMU 59 (Pembroke district).

The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH), along with other advocates, began working with the MNR more than 25 years ago to restore wild turkeys in the province.

“The reintroduction of the eastern wild turkey to Ontario is one of the province’s most successful wildlife recovery stories,” OFAH biologist Dawn Sucee says.

“With more than 70,000 birds estimated in Ontario, populations seem to have stabilized in many areas. In other areas of the province, the range continues to expand

LUCY HASS/METROLAND

The spring turkey hunting season opens tomorrow (Friday, April 25) and runs until Saturday, May 31. naturally,” Suceee says.

This is great news for Ontario turkey hunters who may not have had a turkey hunting season in their WMU previously, or for those who are interested in travelling to new hunting grounds. These additional turkey hunting opportunities were established in part using information submitted by Ontario hunters.

Mandatory turkey harvest reporting enables MNR biologists to analyze populations and make recommendations on management. Successful turkey hunters must report their harvested bird by no later than noon the day after it was harvested.

A HUNTER’S GUIDE:

Where can I get my licence? –www.mnr.

With more than 100,000 members, subscribers and supporters, and 720 member clubs, the OFAH is the province’s largest nonprofit, fish and wildlife conservationbased organization and the VOICE of anglers and hunters. For more information, visit www.ofah.org.

Lifestyle - The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) is shocked by the decision of the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) to drastically reduce moose hunting opportunities for licensed hunters, which in certain Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) will result in fewer moose tags being granted and no Guaranteed Group Size this year. For example, WMU 13 (Thunder Bay Area) will see an 87 per cent reduction in adult moose tags available this year compared to 2013, and WMU 28 (Kirkland Lake area) will have a 93 per cent reduction.

The OFAH is concerned about declining moose populations throughout northern Ontario, the causes of which are unknown in many WMUs, but hunters are growing increasingly frustrated with the Ministry’s lack of progress on its review of moose management in Ontario.

The OFAH is calling on the MNR to look at the full suite of factors acting

on moose populations, including reproductive rates, predation, poaching, disease, habitat quality (in the wake of fire suppression efforts and declining forestry activity), overlap with deer populations, and harvest by Aboriginal hunters.

The OFAH recommends the MNR increase Moose Aerial Inventories and assess the impact of the above factors.

“We don’t believe the MNR exhausted all its management options prior to hitting moose hunters so hard,” OFAH senior wildlife biologist Mark Ryckman said.

While the MNR has made recent changes to its moose tag transfer policy, hunters feel there have been too many rounds of consultation without any major progress on the real issues affecting moose management.

With more than 100,000 members, subscribers and supporters, and 720 member clubs, the OFAH is the province’s largest nonprofit, fish and wildlife conservation-based organization and the voice of anglers and hunters.

Taylor Virgin Raider Review

Spirit Week, Catholic Education Week and more at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School We have many events to look forward to in the upcoming weeks. Spirit Week, Catholic Education Week, our spring semi-formal dance- the list goes on and on.

The warmer weather has allowed for the soccer, and track and field teams to practise outside. We wish all of the athletes good luck as they begin a season full of hard work, games and meets.

This week, nominations for next year’s student council executive were submitted.

Applicants have two weeks of campaigning, and the elections will take place on May 9. The elected positions include prime minister, spirit minister and public relations minister. Other positions, such as secretary, treasurer, athletic

ABBY HALL Jaguar Journal minister and pastoral minister, are appointed. We are looking forward to another great year of student leadership!

The Dominican Republic Team is busy preparing to pass on the torch to future students.

In the upcoming weeks, a presentation about the journey will be taken to St. Joe’s feeder schools, as well as to the students within our building. The application process for next year’s experience will begin in May. This experience is something that you will

Renfrew Collegiate Institute student Courtney Stafford addresses 16,000 students while on the main stage sharing her experience of travelling to Kenya as part of Free the Children.

RCI’s Interact Club will host a garage sale at the school on April 25 and 26 with all proceeds going to the international charity, Free the Children.

The sale will be open to the community from 4 to 9 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to noon Saturday.

Free the Children has created a method to help stop poverty by focusing on five different areas.

These areas, called pillars, are education, clean water and sanitation, health, alternative income and livelihood, and agriculture and food security.

RCI’s interact club has chosen to raise money towards the education pillar. This pillar builds schools and libraries and also provides these schools with furniture and supplies that are necessary towards teaching.

The education pillar gives boys and girls a chance to get an education and become more successful as adults.

Because of various bake sales, buy-ins, an art auction, and the annual 24-Hour Famine, the RCI Interact Club has raised $6,200 of their $10,000 goal needed to build a school.

Future fundraising plans include a coin drive kick started by a We Create Change Tour assembly featuring Spencer West.

If a community member would like to donate any items to the sale, the items can be dropped off between 3 and 5 p.m. at the school on either April 22 or 23.

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.

August 16th and 18th, 1993 We’ll place some roses upon your graves, And say a prayer or two, And ask the Lord if he would Tenderly care for you.

The memories of you are held as treasures, We’ll keep in our hearts forever and ever If a wish could be granted, we’d only have one, That you could have lived too old to die young, You will always be loved and never forgotten.

You live on in each one of your family.

Love, Mom & Dad, Grandma & Grandpa Rene, Guylaine & Family LeeAnn, Richie & Family Jeremy & Jesse

Doing the Right Thing, doesn’t always make you feel Good, But IT IS the right Thing!

When the going gets Tough, everybody leaves!

The only Person who will take care of You; is you, Yourself!

Buster was a valley legend in both step dancing and violin. He made a life time career out of both performing and teaching.

Buster started step dancing in Ottawa at the age of nine and was teaching at the age of twelve. When he started teaching in the Valley, he had to hire a driver because he was too young to have a license. From there, things only went up for Buster, and culminated when he captured the North American Step Dancing Champion title for not one or two, but three consecutive years.

He also toured with Don Messer across Canada and on special occasions, was even ďŹ&#x201A;own in to Messerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jubilee show in Halifax to perform. At sixteen he travelled across Canada and the US with Messer for 3 months performing 72 one night shows. Over the years he performed on TV and Jamborees with artists such as Johnny Cash, Tammy Wynette, Mel Tillis, Graham Townsend and Al Cherny in locations from Nashville to Las Vegas. In spite of the time commitments that come with performing, he kept pushing both dancing and ďŹ ddle to generations of students in the Valley and Ottawa. Buster Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canadian Steppers, a hand picked group of young dancers, became famous in their own right. Many of his students carried on performing and teaching in their own adult years. Some achieving outstanding recognition on an international stage. These include April Verch as well as Jon and Nathan Pilatzke. It became his life long work, but it was also his life long love. As illness confronted him, he persisted in continuing to teach as he had started, by hiring a driver to take him to and from lessons. For his efforts in both performing and teaching, he received many awards. The icing on the cake was his induction into the Ottawa Valley Country Hall of Fame in 2003.

Community - April is Volunteer Appreciation Month and Renfrew and Area Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Home Support would like to thank all the wonderful volunteers who generously give of their time to provide services to seniors and adults with disabilities in our community.

to the grocery store. Please call the office if you have a few hours on a Thursday afternoon to help out, providing this program to our community.

Spring is always a busy time for our agency. We attended the Home Show and Wendy Thompson was the winner of our spring raffle. Congratulations to Wendy as she won a Sharp Sound System and Gift Basket donated by Al Utronkiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Appliances & TV Centre.

Have Your Best Garden Ever in 2014 Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no secret that a great garden starts with great soil. Soil is a source of nutrients, air and water essen al to the establishment of healthy root systems in plants; but its supply is not inďŹ nite.

A neglected soil is far less likely to yield the results you are looking for in your perfect garden. Over me your soil can become nutrient deďŹ cient, compacted or thin which can make it diďŹ&#x192;cult to grow and lead to poor plant health. A great soil is rich in nutrients, pH balanced and has excellent lth, allowing for easy air and water ďŹ&#x201A;ow. Furthermore, a great soil should also be built up enough to allow your plantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roots plenty of room to grow deep and thus access more water and nutrients.

How can you take a red, dull soil and turn it into a great soil?

This can be accomplished using a number of techniques. One of the easiest ways to improve such a soil is by using an amendment or enhancer that is made up in large part of organic ma er. Soil amendments are designed to be mixed in with exis ng soils to bolster areas in need of improvement.

The ideal me to introduce organic ma er into your growing areas is in the late Fall. This allows the beneďŹ cial microorganisms in your soil more me to become ac ve before gardening season arrives. While in a perfect world we would all earmark some me for soil amending before the frost, for many of us, our ďŹ&#x201A;ower beds are far from priority number one when the cold weather starts to set in.

The featured entertainers are Dennis and Riely Harrington (Jim Hunter, piano), Bruce Armitage (Ann Campbell, piano and Linda Allen, guitar), Randy Foster (Jim Hunter, piano), and the Enright and Donohue Families. We are pleased to have Randy host another event on our behalf and look forward to a great afternoon of musical talent and the closing kitchen party featuring all the performers. The cost of the afternoon is $12 per person with a lunch being served.

Proceeds are being shared by Renfrew Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Home Support and The Canadian Grand Masters Fiddlers Association.

Tickets are available at the Renfrew Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Home Support office and at the door.

mineralize the organic nutrients giving your plants more food for healthy growth. Each component in this mix contributes par cles of diďŹ&#x20AC;erent sizes and shapes. This results in improved airďŹ&#x201A;ow and drainage and reduces the risk of over compac on. The organicbased soil will also provide excellent water reten on; something your plantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roots will really appreciate.

Not to worry though! Even if you missed the window last Fall, you can s ll get more out of your soil this Spring. There are great products on the market that can make a real diďŹ&#x20AC;erence in the results you see from your garden this year, including Manderleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Premium Lawn and Garden Soil â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which can be conveniently delivered right to your driveway in an easy-to-store cubic yard bag.

Giving your best garden ever the head start it deserves isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rocket science. Follow these easy steps for best results: Step one - determine how much soil you need. Keep in mind that you should aim to maintain at least a 6â&#x20AC;? soil depth (pro p â&#x20AC;&#x201C; top oďŹ&#x20AC; your growing areas with 2â&#x20AC;? of soil every Fall to make up for soil loss caused by erosion, etc.). Step two - go get your soil, or be er yet, have it delivered without the mess or hassle. Step three - ll or turn over the exis ng soil in your growing areas. Step four - add in your soil mix and ensure that your beds reach the appropriate depth. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that easy.

Manderleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soil mix is a 100% natural product consis ng of black earth, organic fer lizer, compost, sand and lime. The organic content in the mix is quite high, which promotes microbial ac vity in your growing area. Microorganisms will work hard to

Understanding the importance of maintaining a healthy soil is the ďŹ rst step in reaching your garden goals for 2014. By following these four steps and giving your plants proper care throughout the gardening season, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be amazed at the diďŹ&#x20AC;erence.

Ultimate Fitness athletes excel at Canadian Powerlifting Championships Team Ultimate Fitness

Sports - The Ottawa Valley was well represented recently at the 2014 Canadian Powerlifting Championships held in St. Catharines.

Team Ultimate Fitness, comprised of athletes from Renfrew, Arnprior, Kanata and Pembroke, took its largest team ever, 10 athletes, to the national championships and didn’t disappoint in the medal count.

Watched over by head coach Paul Vaillancourt and team manager Paula Turcotte, the UF team brought home nine medals.

“For many, this was their first national level competition and they all lifted well, with our national and international veterans Sarah Leighton, Shelley Colter and Ellynne Dickson also stepping up and putting in solid lifting on Canada’s biggest platform,” said coach Vaillancourt.

Leighton held the national deadlift record for a brief moment when she lifted 197 kg. (434 lbs), only to have it topped by her friend and rival from Moose Jaw, multi-time Canadian Champion Rhaea Stinn.

Six of the 10 UF lifters have secured a qualification for world championship competition. Thus far, only Sarah Leighton has submitted her nomination to lift at the 2014 IPF World Championships in Denver Colorado in November.

9 Raglan St. S. Renfrew, ON (Corner of Raglan and Monroe)

And now I offer my tale of joining the club. Although, an enthusiastic player in high school and in university days, I had left the game behind.

About four years ago, I decided to dust off my Dunlop Maxfli wooden racquet and try and get some exercise.

I was given a nervous partner and began play in the doubles. I soon found that my game, patterned after John McEnroe, had not aged well in the intervening years. However, I had a ball, loved the fact that games happened when they were scheduled and soon was playing in singles and tournaments with no success whatsoever.

Still trying to play like Mac though. The whole family plays now, my kids have participated in Garry Irving’s junior program, we’re all looking forward to this season.

If the snow ever stops.

Registration begins Friday, April 25 from 7 to 9 p.m. and continues Saturday from 9 a.m. until noon.

Vikings conquer Golden Knights Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - What a tough way to lose a seventh game for a championship!

The Metro-Valley Conference champion Ottawa West Golden Knights broke a 1-1 tie on home ice when former Renfrew Timberwolf Derrin Lehoux connected with 37 seconds left in regulation time to apparently land them the 2014 Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League title.

But, lo and behold, the Rideau-St. Lawrence Conference title-winning Casselman Vikings came right back when Thierry Henry struck with 14 seconds remaining to retie the April 14 game at the Barbara Ann Scott Arena and send it into overtime.

Then, with the end of the second overtime looming Casselman’s Joel Adam canned the game, set and match winner at the 18:42 mark to give the Vikings the dramatic 3-2 victory.

Ottawa West, at one point, led the best-of-seven series three games to one.

The EOJHL crown is the second in three years for the Vikings.

Casselman is now competing at the Eastern Canadian Junior B Hockey championship for the Don Johnson Cup April 22 to 27.

It’s the first time the EOJHL has participated.

The six-team event is being hosted by the Strait Pirates in Port Hawkesbury, N.S. The Pirates franchise is celebrating its 50th anniversary.

Competing teams are from Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Ontario.

Next year, this tournament is slated to be hosted by the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League.

ship and cultural pride.

It was the goal of the Griffins to introduce the game of hockey to the Kashubs in Kaszebe.

To play for the Kashub people and their nation.

We wanted to have the Kashubs in Kaszebe embrace our team as their very own. After seeing the fans with their true cultural colours in the stands, I can see that hockey now lives in Kaszebe.

The Griffins and I have seen with our own eyes that they have taken ownership of our team. After winning our games, on the streets, in the small Kashubian villages, schools, churches, all we heard from our Kashub fans was, “We won. We won. Our Kashub team won!”

Our team is now known as Team Kaszebe, the Kashubian national hockey team.

Our team is Kaszebe’s Team.

I had the distinctive privilege of taking one of the greatest cultural hockey teams ever assembled to Kaszebe, the homeland of our Kashubian ancestors. It was an experience that our Kashubian Griffins hockey team will never forget.

Upon touching down at Gdansk, the capital city of the Kashub nation April 2, we were entertained with Kashubian music, greeted by fans and the media.

For the next few days, our team was out in the communities, promoting the upcoming games and introducing themselves. They were invited to a school in Lipusz where they were greeted by young fans who clung to them as if they were rock stars.

The Griffins took on the Sopot Mad Dogs and Gdansk Dragons in weekend contests.

The games were played in honour of Daniel Czapiewski, a Kashubian Giant. Daniel pasted away last fall, and will always be remembered for the work he had done to help build the bridge of friendship between Kaszebe and Canada’s Kaszebe.

Over 3,000 Kashub fans came to watch us play. When asked, not one of them knew anything about the game.

It was the first time they ever saw a game and they fell in love with it and especially with our Kashubian Griffins.

When I tried to talk to them while the game was on, they said, “Later man, I am watching my team play.”

They treated us like royalty. The Griffins beat the Mad Dogs 11-4 and the Dragons 6-4. The score of these games was secondary. What this was all about was a weekend of sportsmanship, friend-

Sports - It’s a program that’s been benefitting area youth for years and it continues to thrive.

Vicki Wilson of Braeside leads Small Ball Basketball, an inclusive community basketball program designed for children five to 14 years old, teaching the sport’s fundamental skills. The program uses equipment and a game that has been modified to suit a younger player’s needs and differences.

Wilson, a two-time all Canadian with Queen’s University who has 20 years of coaching experience, said the program builds character, discipline and self-esteem.

Stars basketball coach and certified teacher Anne Prince also works with the small ball program, based at Queen Elizabeth Public School.

Another session was added this past year for 12-14 year-olds and the program has grown in numbers to include four full sessions of youth enjoying the game of basketball.

Some of the kids have been with the program for six years and it is great to watch them improve, said Wilson.

Sessions are typically offered in the fall and spring and Wilson reminded parents of the upcoming week-long summer camp for kids ages 9-14.

She’s pleased with the support the program has received from players, parents and the community.

“Special thanks to Tim Hortons for donating the team pinneys for our use,” said Wilson. More information is available at 613-622-1200.

It’s a great way to get active and meet some new friends, said Lynch.

Opry show to support RVH healing garden News - Dust off your boots for the Country Opry Show fundraiser for the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Healing Garden Saturday, May 10 at 7 p.m. at The Wing. 164 Argyle St., S. Renfrew. The doors open at 6 p.m.

The evening pays tribute to the legends by the voices of Kevin White, Keith Mulvihill, Andy Taylor, Faron Brown, Chris Burant, Carla Pilatzke, Katie Skerkowski, Emily Etmanski, Tim Hermitte, Dennis Meilleur, Cindy Sidock, Guy Jamieson and Mary Etmanski.

Organizer Mary Dick-Etmanski enjoys a long history on the local music scene.

She started competing at the music festivals, then sponsored by the Kiwanis Club at age six.

Guided by Irene Quilty, her music teacher, as well as her school teacher Aunt Luella Briscoe, Mary successfully won many awards at these festivals held then at the Renfrew Recreation Centre.

At a very young age she started singing in public places like O’Gorman’s and Luker’s Barn Dances.

During this time her mentors were her mother Burrell Dick and her Uncle Al Brisco.

Mary met Mac Beattie for the first time when she was 10 and was fortunate enough to become part of Mac Beattie and the Ottawa

Valley Melodiers for quite a few years.

Her parents drove her all over the place allowing Mary to sing whenever possible.

Mac Beattie became a mentor and a wonderful friend. “He treated me so kindly and at the same time let me have fun.” Mary feels her confidence came during her years with the Melodiers. And now, she views herself as the only living member of that favoured group.

Her venues included Miss Grey Cup Pageant, the Ward Allen Memorial Show, where she joined Tommy Hunter.

Mainly Music at CJOH TV was an exciting time for her as well. Live radio broadcasts and live CHOV TV programs helped her realize the need to be rehearsed and ready.

Then the big break, singing with Don Messer in Pembroke and then on to the Toronto CNE. Fall fairs throughout eastern Ontario and Quebec saw Mary on stage singing her heart out. Memories linger for Mary from the days she sang at the Lake Dore dances as well as times she shared the stage at the Renfrew Hotel with Stompin’ Tom Connors.

Later Mary became involved in teaching choir as a volunteer for a few years. She would spend her lunch hours practicing with her choir and getting them ready for festivals and

live television.

She realized she loved bringing out the best in children and music. She believes in the natural quality of voice. She was a judge at many talent shows and pageants.

Fast forward to some very wonderful years participating in live shows to promote classic country music in Cobden.

And now she does the same thing in Renfrew.

Last year she was a big part in planning and organizing a show on Mother’s Day Weekend with two performances.

Mary has put together one of the best house bands you will ever find.

This group consists of her uncle Al Brisco, Bob Schwartz, Brian Hebert, Tim Hermitte, Roy Feener, Andy Clark and John Steele. Lights and sound is managed

by Dan Dubeau.

Enjoy this tremendous show where Charlie Kitts will be the emcee.

Foundation representative Barb Desilets will be happy to explain the story behind the Healing Garden. You can contact her at the Foundation office at RVH at 432-4851.

Tickets are $15 and at available at Aikenhead’s Drug Store, from the entertainers or at the door. You can also contact Mary at 613-4325322 or at feelgreat@ leanonme.ca for more information.

Cheryl GALLANT

Your Member of Parliament Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke

www.cherylgallant.com Canada’s continued economic strength under our Conservative Government is something all Canadians can be proud of. Together we have weathered the global economic recession better than most, we have the best job creation record and the best debt-to-GDP ratio among G7 countries, and we are consistently named one of the best countries in the world to do business.

Our Conservative Government is building on that strong record by expanding Canada’s trade.

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, our Conservative Government is continuing to pursue the most ambitious trade agenda in Canadian history. When our Government first came into office, Canada had only 5 free trade agreements. Now, Canada has agreements with 43 countries. By opening up new markets for Canadian goods we can help grow the economy and create jobs. At the same time, free trade gives Canadian families more choices and lower prices when they go shopping.

A local example of why free trade agreements are important is the recent announcement by Pembroke Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF) to re-open after a prolonged shutdown. Pembroke MDF is part of the global supply chain in the new world economy that free trade agreements are intended to benefit from. We depend on exports for jobs. While Canada’s housing market avoided the crash experienced in our principal market due in part to more conservative lending standards and a stronger economy, the drop in US housing starts led to the local shutdown. With Pembroke’s sister plant in the global supply chain now operating at full capacity, Pembroke MDF is well situated for the economic recovery now underway. This is big news for our local economy.

The start of the Pembroke MDF brings back to work 110 employees, with the possibility of 40 more full time employees when the moulding plant gets restarted. Pembroke MDF will directly affect the operations of 19 local lumber mills, 58 timber harvesting business, 15 trucking companies and forest management companies with a total employment of 1.895. Indirectly, Pembroke MDF will engage local businesses in various sectors such as manufacturing service, trucking and logistics, maintenance and related operations representing another 1,500 employees. With a conservative multiplier representing the engaged support businesses and institutions across Eastern Ontario, an operating Pembroke MDF affects over 6,280 workers in Renfrew County and will contribute indirectly to another 1,069 jobs.

When our Conservative Government first took office, we made it a priority to help grow Canada’s exports and sign important free trade agreements to help create jobs and opportunities, here in Renfrew County and across the country.

As a result of our Conservative Government’s hard work, Canada now has free trade agreements with 43 nations. Free trade agreements do not just appear, the way members of the Opposition in Ottawa think budgets “just balance themselves.”

Free Trade Agreements create jobs and opportunities for Canadians across the country. Not only do they benefit Canadian consumers, they are good news for farmers, the aerospace industry like Haley Industries/Magellan Aerospace and the forestry sector, to name a few. Canadian businesses, investors and consumers in every province benefit significantly from the increased market access. By helping expand Canada’s trade, our Government is continuing to help Canadian businesses grow and create jobs, while giving Canadian families more choice and lower prices for everyday goods.

By negotiating free trade agreements our Government is helping give Canada a global competitive advantage, and helping Canadian companies expand and create more jobs. At the same time, we are also helping deliver more choice and lower prices for families here at home. Canadians can count on our Conservative Government to continue delivering on our ambitious trade agenda.

Minister of Revenue Kerry-Lynne D. Findlay.

Although the tax deadline has been extended to May 5, the Chartered Professional Accountants (CPA) of Canada is encouraging people not to delay filing.

“Don’t get caught and be forced to scramble if you plan to use a professional accountant,” warns CPA Canada vicepresident Gabe Hayos.

He explained that some firms may not be in po-

sition to accept tax returns after the original April 30 deadline. They simply won’t have the resources with staff having already made vacation plans, including booking flights, based on the earlier filing deadline, he

said, adding that it is not unusual for professional accountants to want to take personal time immediately after tax season.

“The best approach to have things run smoothly is to file your tax return sooner

rather than later,” Hayos notes. “It’s just easier for all involved.”

He is appreciative of the CRA for its recent actions.

“The Canada Revenue Agency moved swiftly to deal with the security threat,” Hayos said.

In a statement April 13, the agency said that “individuals, businesses and representatives are now able to file returns, make payments, and access all other e-services available through the CRA’s website, including all our secure portals.”

Because the system was down for a week, the CRA has extended the tax filing deadline from April 30 to Monday, May 5.

On April 7, the CRA was informed of an Internet security vulnerability named the Heartbleed Bug that had the potential to affect technology systems around the world.

This represented a “serious challenge” for CRA, forcing it to work around the clock with Shared Services Canada to apply a ‘patch’ or solution that addresses the vulnerability.

ing can improve quality of life in Ontario, provides credible support for the RCCS, which will access relevant data to inform our collaborative planning as we work to improve health and social services across Renfrew County,â&#x20AC;? she said.

As noted in the report, â&#x20AC;&#x153;50 per cent of health outcomes in Canada are attributable to social and economic determinants â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in other words, the conditions in which people live.â&#x20AC;?

The RCCS will partner with University of Ottawa researchers Elizabeth Kristjansson and Michael Sawada, who previously worked on the Ottawa Neighbourhood Study (ONS). The ONS will provide the Renfrew County study with a model for best practices in community mapping, analysis and knowledge sharing to develop a shared measurement tool that best suits Renfrew Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rural communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ONS has informed our strategic plan and our programming. For example, the ONS results highlighted that we had one of the highest percentage of isolated seniors in our Centretown neighbourhood as compared to other Ottawa neighbourhoods, so we paid even more attention to our partnerships in supporting seniors with

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The HCP coordinates and integrates multi-sector planning, research, knowledge sharing, community engagement and policy development in a collaborative effort to build stronger, healthier communities. This community study is aimed at providing a shared measurement tool, by collating local data to inform, integrate and co-ordinate our planning. It will help us to pinpoint our strengths and needs to track improvements in the delivery of services,â&#x20AC;? Babcock says.

Gwen Brown, the director of health services at Rainbow Valley CHC, notes that all community health centres provide services reflective of the Association of Ontario Health Centres (AOHC) Model of Health and Wellbeing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This model speaks to the value of community development partnerships such as the HCP that support equity, accessibility and the provision of services and programs reflective of social determinants of health and population needs,â&#x20AC;? says Brown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The recently released AOHC document, Measuring What Matters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; How the Canadian Index of Wellbe-

HISTORIC DISPLAYS

Heritage Renfrew had a display set up in the chapel, as did the NHA-NHL Renfrew Birthplace Museum.

Quail Creek Retirement Centre general manager Bev Powell welcomed everyone to the open house. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chartwell Quail Creek has been in the town in 1990,â&#x20AC;? Powell noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Town of Renfrew has seen a lot of change and Chartwell Quail Creek resident George Skerkowski and Sue Diotte flip through the pages of a copy of the original Story of growth over the past few Renfrew published in 1919. The book is still pretty much in mint condition. At right, Old-Tyme Country performs for residents decades,â&#x20AC;? she added.

At the recent awards ceremony at Queen’s Park are, from left, VCARS assistant co-ordinator Faye Cassista, Attorney General Madeleine Meilleur and VCARS program co-ordinator Lisa Oegema.

Ontario presents Victim Services Awards of Distinction News - Victim Services of Renfrew County Inc. was honoured at a ceremony April 9 at Queen’s Park to celebrate its commitment to and outstanding achievements in serving victims of crime.

The awards recognize victims of crime whose courage and dedication have raised awareness of victims issues in Ontario, and volunteers, professionals and organizations that advocate on their behalf.

“This year’s award recipients demonstrate courage and commitment on a daily basis by helping victims of crime to rebuild their lives. I am thankful for their efforts and for this opportunity to congratulate and recognize them as excellent role models for us all,” said Attorney General Madeleine Meilleur.

The Attorney General’s Victim Services Awards of Distinction for 2014 were presented to 14 individuals and five organizations.

Victim Services of Renfrew County received an Attorney General’s Victim Services Award of Distinction for demonstrating outstanding services to victims of crime, their excellent relationships with community partners, leadership in victim services, advocating for victim’s rights to immediate care and for its high risk prevention program.

Victim Services of Renfrew County believes that every victim has the right to immediate support and information to help them begin to heal from a crime or tragic circumstance.

Their program creates opportunities, fosters hope and works to build safer

and healthier communities.

They offer a 24/7 crisis response program in partnership with police and fire services and provide immediate support, information and referrals throughout Renfrew County and Algonquin Park.

“I would like to thank the Township of Admaston-Bromley who nominated us for this award and the selection committees who had the difficult task of making the decisions,” said program co-ordinator Lisa Oegema.

“My special thanks to our board of directors, staff and amazing volunteers.

They are the front-line responders who leave their families at three in the morning to support a complete stranger.

“Their dedication and commitment to this program goes above and beyond. They are our unsung heroes who work in the shadows and who offer incredible, life altering support at a time when a life has been turned upside down due to a crime or tragedy.

“It is an honour for our agency to be recognized provincially for our efforts through this award,” Oegema said.

Ruth Campbell, chair of the Office of Victims of Crime, stated they were “proud to participate in this awards program to help raise awareness of victims’ issues in Ontario.”

“The tireless dedication of these exceptional individuals and organizations is truly inspiring and provides invaluable support to victims of crime,” Campbell said.
