Participants cross Raglan Street during Saturday’s five-kilometre run in the aftermath of a tough week in Boston.

There may well be another 117 Boston Marathons, but the tragic events surrounding the 117th running of the worldʼs most prestigious 42.2-kilometre event will never be forgotten.

People around the globe were saddened by the April 15 bombings, and that included Renfrew and area runners, some of whom were part of this yearʼs marathon.

On Saturday morning, starting and ending at Valley Source for Sports, a band of runners from the RUNfrew Run Club and beyond participated in a five-kilometre run to honour the fallen and families of those killed or injured.

They ran for eight-year-old Martin Richard. They ran for 23-year-old Lu Lingzi. They ran for 29-year-old Krystle Campbell. They ran for slain police officer 26-year-old Sean Collier. They also remembered the hundreds of others injured and their families.

On Jan. 3, Broten announced that 65 locally-negotiated agreements that were submitted by the Dec. 31, 2012 deadline had been ratified.

Calabogie and Area Business Association mapping out strategy Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

The Calabogie and Area Business Association (CABA) has been pushing the area as a place for business and investment.

Itʼs been an exciting time but a challenge, president Byron Hermann said.

The association has 93 members.

“That really represents the entire area, from White Lake to Burnstown, into Renfrew and then right up through Ward 2 and Ward 3 (of Greater Madawaska Township). The association is healthy with more of a focus on community and economic development.”

CABA will receive a grant of $6,000 for its new tourist experience map and interactive business directory from the Community Futures Development Corporation.

Greater Madawaska Township also gave CABA $3,000 as a part of its partnership.

The business directory will be included with

the map.

People will also be able to go to QR codes right on the map to a Youtube video.

As of the first printing, 20,000 copies of the CABA map will be made.

The second part of the grant application, the interactive business directory will be launched in May. Itʼll be much better for what the consumer is trying to find.

CABA will also have its own Youtube channel. Any Youtube video can be put on the Youtube channel to show what it is your business is promoting, Hermann said.

There will also be a mobile presence to the community for a based fee.

It will be accessed by a key code, and up will pop Calabogie and all its businesses and services.

“It puts the world in your hands, and you just navigate to where you want to go. Itʼs amazing,” said Coun. Bruno Kierczak.

CABA has also applied for two other grants, $2,000 for a mobile application and $5,000 for a feasibility study for new cultural assets in the area.

OTHER BUSINESS

CABAʼs fundraising silent auction held last December raised $984.

Plans now call for an earlier on-line auction this year, in November instead of so close to Christmas, said CABA treasurer Cath Reynolds.

Funds go toward the Festival of the Senses to help make the annual Saturday-Sunday event more successful. This yearʼs festival is Oct. 5 and 6.

CABA would like to add an event to the festival for the Saturday night, maybe Yuk Yuks, a dance or a casino night.

A Saturday night event would help to keep people overnight and help the places that pro-

OSSTF vote

“My stomach is still in knots. Could you imagine the families of those runners,” said Colleen Barry, local 5-km run organizer and a Boston Marathoner herself.

“A Boston Marathon runner is committed, dedicated, and disciplined,” she said. Itʼs a journey that starts a long way back. They have family, children, spouses, people that are proud of them and believe in them, standing at the finish line, waiting for them to come home.

“And someone says to you, ʻIʼm sorry sir, this is where your run ends, for safety reasons.ʼ You donʼt know where your significant other is.

Thereʼs massive confusion, there are people everywhere, panicking. Today, weʼre thinking about those families, those spectators.”

At the Renfrew 5-km run, Berry introduced Volkert Bobeldijk, 76, of Pembroke, Alison Seely of Beachburg, Brian Campbell of Renfrew and brother Stewart Campbell, who resides in Pembroke.

All four ran this year in Boston. Stewart Campbell registered a personal best time of three hours, 11 minutes and 32 seconds. Brian Campbell ran the Boston 5-km April 14, and has run the marathon previously.

Berry was very pleased to see all four in attendance.

“You have no idea how happy I am to see you here today, not just because youʼve come to honour this event, but because you are here to tell your story and go back to Bos-

“The big thing was that Kathleen Wynne recognized the labour unrest and that negotiations hadnʼt been handled very well by her predecessor,” said Barber.

Wynne helped convene important meetings between government officials (includ-

vide accommodation, Reynolds said.

“If we could find some organizer that would run that, it would be fun, perhaps as a fundraiser.”

“This (Festival of the Senses) is a signature event for our association and for the area. It is important to keep in growing,” Hermann added CABA has applied again for a federal government grant for the student at $35 a week for 10 weeks from the end of June to the end of August to work at the visitor information centre.

CABA will also look into the possibility of a high school student putting in some additional time at the centre for their volunteer hours.

Coun. Bruno Kierczak sees economic development as a strong engine for the sustainability of the community. He said the focus should be on the success of the business community.

“Itʼs a three-part partnership. Itʼs community, itʼs business, and itʼs municipality.”

ing new Education Minister Liz Sandals) and the teacher unions, he said.

Barber said the OSSTF vote supports “language designed to mitigate the imposed terms and conditions of Bill 115. OSSTF was able to present creative solutions to the government that addressed membersʼ concerns within the governmentʼs financial restrictions.”

Bill 115 was repealed in

late January 2013. This agreement with OSSTF, said OSSTF president Ken Coran in a news release, shows “the government has committed to working collaboratively to ensure a fair, transparent and democratic process is in place for the next round of collective bargaining.”

The current contracts end Aug. 31, 2014.

The OSSTF voting took place April 12 to 18.

Seely had just crossed the finish line when the first of the two bombs went off.

“I had finished it eight minutes earlier, so I was just in the process of getting on my warm clothes,” she said. “When it went off I thought at first that a cannon had gone. Nobody really believed what it was.”

Bobeldijk, known to everyone as Bob, didnʼt know where other members of his party were.

“The next hour, thinking about Stewart, my wife, and Brian maybe being at the finish line, not knowing, and looking for them.”

“Volkert was one of those athletes who was so close to finishing,” Berry said.

“Basically he was from here (Source for Sports) to, not even Mutual street to the finish line when that happened.”

“It was tragic. Like life, you just got to keep going forward, one step forward, just like in

running,” Stewart Campbell added of the harrowing experience.

Berry said every song she has heard on the radio since seems to send a message, like Kelly Clarksonʼs What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger, or Hedleyʼs You Have One Life To Live.

“The show must go on,” said Berry. “ We must be alive, we must keep our lives going normally. We must have goals we want to reach because thatʼs what makes us who we are.

“Donʼt let what happened stop your passion,” she added.

“Our passion happens to be running. It doesnʼt matter what sport it is, hockey, soccer, go out and enjoy it, and have some faith. Hang on to that.”

Blue and yellow streamers, Boston colours, marked the 5-km route through residential and downtown Renfrew.

Central Public students DARE to say no drugs and violence steve.newman@metroland.com

Weekly police reports and media coverage demonstrate that society has growing challenges regarding violence and the use of drugs, tobacco and alcohol.

But students donʼt need to travel that road, according to the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program that has reached Renfrew County.

Founded in 1983 in Los Angeles, the program has reached more than 40 countries and teaches students how to resist peer pressure and live produc-

tive lives free of drugs and violence.

Janice Sawbridge, the community services officer for the Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police, introduced the officer-led, 10-week course to Central and Queen Elizabeth public schools this year.

Const. Hayley Chaplin teaches the course at St. Michaelʼs, St. Thomas the Apostle and Our Lady of Fatima elementary schools.

“Even as adults we can use this information, since we have all made some poor choices in our lifetime,” Const.

STEVE NEWMAN//METROLAND

Daren, the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program mascot, looks on as Staff-Sgt. Colin Slight of the Renfrew OPP presents a DARE pin to Central Public School student Brody Machura.

Sawbridge told Central Public School students, teachers and parents at DAREʼs wrap-up ceremony April 18.

“Each and every one of us could benefit from the DARE decision-making model.”

DARE stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education program, but Sawbridge says DARE also stands for defining, assessing, responding and evaluating.

That is: • Define the challenges; • Assess the choices and consequences of those choices; •Respond by determining if choices were based on available information; and • Evaluate if the best choices were made.

Clearly, bad choices are made. More than $12 billion is spent each year in Ontario on drug- and alcohol-treatment programs, she said.

“The vast majority of all crime is related to drugs and alcohol. A large amount of money is spent each due to the cost of emergency services, police, fire, paramedics and the justice system to deal with people who have abused drugs.”

At the ceremony three students read essays – two read in French by French immersion students Faith Guyea and Alyson Brisebois, the third in English by Tiffany Wright.

Guyea said she now had the skills to deal with negative peer pressure, while Brisebois concluded: “Having learned all these things about tobacco and alcohol, I hope to be able to resist the influences that may present themselves along the way.”

What French teacher Melanie Reid liked about the weekly classes was the opportunity for the students to reflect on the course content, in conver-

Oppose loss of CN rail, TPR urges First it was the CPR line up the Ottawa Valley.

Now Canadian National is following suit, tearing up tracks along a rail line that many had hoped could have been saved to transport goods, tourists and commuters west from Ottawa, says Transport Pontiac-Renfrew (TPR).

In a news release April 10, TPR, which has Arnpriorʼs former mayor Terry Gibeau as one of its main spokesmen, sounded the alarm, reporting “the destruction of the Beachburg sub rail line is underway.”

The news release said rails are being “ripped up beginning in the City of Pembroke and will continue to the Quebec border, where Pontiac County has taken steps to protect its rail.”

The plan is to remove the rails and use them in other areas of Ontario or Canada, maintains TPR. “The disappearance of rail will preclude the reopening of the ATC plant and destroy many economic development opportunities in

Renfrew County.”

It is time the county warden, local MP and MPP, and mayors of Pembroke, Laurentian Valley and Whitewater Region meet with CN representatives to prevail upon them to postpone the ripping out of the rails in Renfrew County until 2014, says TPR. “This temporary delay will allow for Renfrew County entrepreneurs to save this valuable economic development tool. No railway means lost jobs, lost growth and lost business.

“It also means more highway traffic and higher gas emissions. If not stopped, a critical piece of business infrastructure will be ripped from the county.”

TPRʼs letter to CN this month can be viewed at www.transportpontiac-renfrew.ca.

In another news release, ATC Pembroke Inc. says closing the line would be disastrous to plans to reopen after a four-year, recessionrelated shutdown.

sation or through a journal.

Grade 5/6 teacher Gayle Corbin said the students certainly learned to define positive and negative peer pressure, and to see the police in a different light.

“A lot of kids were hesitant because they see the officers as authorities,” said Corbin. “But they learned to realize that they were approachable, and that theyʼd likely seek them out if they had trouble in the community.”

One of her students is Tiffany Wright, who read her essay during the assembly.

She started her essay by saying cigarettes contain 200 dangerous chemicals. She also said the course helped her define good and bad types of pressure.

“I plan to use this program in the future… when others are trying to pressure me to do bad things, like skipping school, drugs, alcohol, tobacco or any other bad things that I run into. I know to stay away from people who do drugs and drink and bully.”

If the program saves one child from drug abuse, then it has been worthwhile, said Const. Sawbridge.

Christian School to celebrate its final year Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

The Renfrew and District Christian School will be holding a celebration night alongside its graduation ceremony June 18.

Unfortunately for staff, students and parents, itʼll be for the last time.

Because of a lack of enrolment, the school will be closing its doors as the conclusion of the 2012-13 school year.

“The board and membership decided at our membership meeting last Monday (April 15),” principal Sabrina Vandersleen said. “This is our 27th year. They opened in 1985 with only 12 students.

“The current facility was purchased in 1986, which was the old Stewart Hall on Stewart Street,” Vandersleen said.

“By 2002 there were almost 50 students, and that was the peak.”

Vandersleen thanks the community for the support the school has received over the years.

“We had lots of volunteers from the community, financial support, supporting our fundraisers, donations, and prayers.”

The school will still be holding is 10-kilometre walkathon on May 10.

“Thatʼs still to support this yearʼs budget, so we still appreciate the continued support.”

At one time, the walk began at the school, but was held on the Millennium Trail at MaTe-Way Park in more recent years.

“Now itʼs just nicer and safer to go along the Millennium Trail. Itʼs one straight trail and you donʼt have to cross roads, or too

many of them, anyway.”

The Renfrew and District Christian School Society will remain open in case there are any future plans to get the school going again, Vandersleen added.

“We enjoyed being a part of the Renfrew community. We adopted the road on Bruce Street, had a float in the Santa Claus Parade every year, visited the seniors homes and sang and played for them, and raised funds for the food bank as well,” Vandersleen said.

“The students raised funds for a variety of national and international charities.”

Right now, the school has 14 students from kindergarten to Grade 8, Vandersleen said. The projected enrolment wasnʼt improving.

“We just donʼt have enough students to carry on,” she said.

Vital service NDP to hold federal-provincial May 2 AGM in Renfrew for community peter.clark@metroland.com

Renfrew and Area Seniors Home Support is a vital service to the community, and a lot of work and care goes into it.

Forty-five percent of Home Supportʼs budget comes from fundraising, executive director Judy Ewart said.

She and Admaston-Bromley Township representative and Home Support board secretary Joanne McDonald addressed council April 18.

“There have been many changes in Renfrew area home support, exciting things are happening,” McDonald said. “We do need this organization very badly. Weʼre really working hard to keep it going.”

Ewart noted that Home Support isnʼt moving from its location in the Plaunt Street mini mall, but they are expanding their office space.

It is a busy time of the year at Home Support. They are a community volunteer income tax program site, and anyone with an income of less than $30,000 is welcome.

“We have volunteers who will complete their income tax under the supervision of Kareen Rekowski, who is our financial officer,” Ewart said. They have already done income tax for 450 people, and that number could go up.

Transportation has also increased considerably in recent years.

“When I started six years ago, we were doing 40 drives a month.

Fifty was a busy month. We are now pushing 150 drives a month,” Ewart said.

There are days when no drivers are left. In that case, a regional co-ordinator is called and they will check around with the other agencies to see if they have a driver available.

There has also been a big increase in service demand for the frozen meals program.

Home Support did just under 2,500 meals this year. That number was around 800 a few years ago.

There has also been an increase in demand for friendly visiting.

elected at the 7 p.m. session in the Renfrew Legion.

There will be light refreshments, a guest speaker to be announced, and a report from the recent federal convention.

All NDP members and oth-

er interested members of the community are welcome.

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant has conďŹ rmed her introduction of Motion 439 to privatize the functions of the Canadian Firearms Registration System for restricted and prohibited ďŹ rearms. “Now that our federal Conservative government has fulďŹ lled its promise to scrap the wasteful, Liberal billion dollar long-gun registry, we need to look at other ways to save taxpayersĘź dollars. In addition to saving tax dollars, privatizing the functions of the Canadian Firearms Registration System for restricted and prohibited ďŹ rearms has a number of other advantages,â€? said Gallant. “It would eliminate the costly duplication of having each province managing a separate bureaucracy to administer the ďŹ rearms registration system.

Law-abiding sportsmen, hunters and farmers would beneďŹ t by having one set of rules rather than the provincial patchwork that currently exists ... by privatizing the functions, as a civilian agency the ofďŹ ce would become administrative and service-oriented, to the beneďŹ t of all Canadians.

not be required. Also, since the federal government is paying the provinces to administer the registry, the federal government will be able to apply the savings to directly reduce that part of the federal deďŹ cit that was caused by the expensive, wasteful Liberal long-gun registry in the ďŹ rst place.â€?

M-439 — April 11, 2013 — Mrs. Gallant (Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke) — That, in the opinion of the House, the Minister of Public Safety should, with the approval of the Governor-in-Council, rescind the existing agreements with the governments of the provinces and amend Section 95 of the Firearms Act to privatize the functions and operation of the Canadian Firearms Registration System, in recognition that the Parliamentary Budget OfďŹ ce has identiďŹ ed: (a) provincial criminal justice expenditures as the largest contributor to rising public expenditures on criminal justice; (b) policing expenditures categorized as fully dedicated to crime includes ďŹ rearms programs when in fact they are non-criminal and should be administered as such; and (c) law enforcement professionals spend too much time on administrative tasks at the expense of front-line policing.

Old organ, hymns familiar and comforting sounds The organist at the Lutheran church did her best.

But when Aunt Lizzie came from Regina on her yearly visit, she never failed to comment on how the old organ needed a tuning.

She once added, “Maybe what is needed is a new organist.”

Well, the chance of getting anyone to replace the organist out there in Northcote was just about nil, and the possibility of getting the instrument tuned was just as remote.

The woman, who sat on the little swivel stool every Sunday, played for the satisfaction it gave her and other than a few words of praise from the minister at the Strawberry Social in the summer that was all the pay she got.

The organ looked like it had gone through the war! And when I was very young, sitting right behind it, I often thought a ghost lived in it, because for a few seconds after the last note was played, there was a wheezing sound come out of it, like someone drawing his last breath.

There was a single row of plugs that looked like spools of thread, and even from a distance, I could see printing on them. These “plugs” often seemed to confuse the organist, who would push and pull at them, which created more wheezing, or no sound at all.

One Sunday, in her frustration, she pulled and pushed the same “plug” and the whole thing came out in her hand. She simply placed it on top of the organ, and there didnʼt seem to be a whit of difference in the sound, even without the missing thing.

I noticed it sat on top of the organ for weeks, before someone removed it, and it was never replaced or seen again. The yawning hole where it had once been, remained as long as we went to the Lutheran church.

The foot pedals held a special fascination for

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

me. There were two side by side.

At one time they were covered in tapestry, but they had worn away to the perfect shape of the organistʼs black laced shoes, which told me she had been playing for longer than I was alive! I thought: she must be very old indeed. Just like the organ.

Since there was no other place to put them, at special services, bouquets of flowers sat on a little round disc on the side of the organ. My older and wiser sister Audrey said that was where a lamp was placed if there was something going on in the church at night, so the organist could see the keys.

Flowers were placed there at Easter and at Christmastime, and I used to think it would be nice if someone brought flowers every week. But of course, that would never do for a staid and sober congregation like the Lutherans at Northcote!

We hardly ever saw the face of the organist. Her back was to the pews, and I often spent most of the service trying to count the number of big grey hairpins that held the fat bun at the back of her head. The bun hid her neck, and one Sunday I got the giggles which I had trouble controlling when I thought her head looked like a turnip sitting on a narrow cloth-covered shelf. Audrey had to give me a few pokes with her finger to get me to sober up.

We never knew if there was going to be a choir.

It didnʼt seem to be organized to the point where you could expect to see the same faces every Sun-

day, even though once a week, there was supposed to be choir practice.

Who showed up on those nights, depended on other events going on in the community which were considered more important.

We could always count on one dedicated soul who never failed to sit in the very middle of the little row of straight-backed chairs on the small platform at the front of the church. She often drowned out the organist, and one Sunday she was singing one hymn while the organist was playing something entirely different.

Both went on doing their own thing, as the minister sat in the big high backed velvet chair with is eyes closed, rubbing his forehead.

My sister Audrey had a lovely voice, but she was very shy about singing alone. She had no trouble at the Northcote School when we belted out “God Save the King” every morning, but singing in church was a different kettle of fish.

When she was ordered by Mother to do so, her knees shook like a bowl of jelly, sitting beside me in our pew.

But when she got the first three or four notes out, she sang like a bird. I would look around the church and the people as if to say, “thatʼs my sister, you know.”

The old organ, the organist who never missed a Sunday as long as we lived in Northcote, the familiar hymns, the voices raised in praise, and the tattered hymn books all created a warm and comfortable feeling deep in my heart.

Like the neighbours around us, always there when a hand was needed, the sounds of the organ and the voices raised in praise, gave me a safe feeling, enabling me to shut out all else around me, and on Sunday, even the Depression seemed remote and far away.

Defibrillators for township Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Admaston-Bromley Township has applied for four new defibrillators and will receive three, Coun.

Ray Pender said. Initial training and ongoing inspection of the units will be included.

The three new defibrillators will be at St. Michaelʼs Catholic School in Douglas, the Douglas recreation facility and the Admaston Recreation Complex.

That will give the township five defibrillators. The fire hall and Stone Road municipal office each already have one.

Coun. Pender also presented Douglas recreation committee minutes, which prompted Coun. Michael Donohue to give them quick credit for the work they do.

“This is a very, very active group,” he said.

The Admaston recreation committee will soon be building a heated shed for the Zamboni, putting up some fencing, and completing work around the interior of the Admaston Recreation Complex.

They have Farm Credit Canada (FCC) AgriSpirit grant money of $6,250 to work with.

Five building permits, including three by one person for a total of $40,500, were taken out in March.

OPINION

Connected to your community

EDITORIAL

Tragedies bring out best and worst Tragedies bring out the best and the worst in people.

In the case of the bombs exploded at the Boston Marathon on April 15, the worst is painfully obvious.

Three people dead, including an eight-year-old boy, and more than 100 others injured.

The questions of who is responsible and why they did it have yet to be answered, but the result was an attempt to create terror, to hurt people, possibly to try and change the publicʼs behaviour.

Strangely enough, this was balanced by the reaction of the public.

When the bombs went off, a flood of people rushed onto the streets.

At first, it was a knee-jerk reaction to the horror and confusion of the scene.

But almost immediately afterwards, another, larger flood of people rushed towards the site of the blast, nurses, doctors, paramedics and emergency workers helping the victims and sealing off the area to look for additional bombs and to prevent them from exploding.

Runners stranded en route to the finish line were surrounded by Boston residents who offered them clothing, water, warm clothing and cellphones to contact their loved ones.

If this was one of Bostonʼs worst hours, it was also one of the finest.

This act of terrorism did not have the desired effect, if the reactions of some of the runners we spoke to following the blast is anything to judge.

Many runners praised the marathon and said they hoped to compete in the annual 42-kilometre race once again – if they qualify.

Ottawa will play host to its own prestigious running event, Ottawa race weekend on May 24 and 25.

Following the explosions at the Boston Marathon, Ottawa race weekend organizers acknowledged that the attack made them more conscious about security surrounding the annual event, which attracts more than 40,000 runners.

But it certainly wonʼt stop them from holding the event.

Terrorists have tried in the past to instill a culture of fear surrounding

large public gatherings – for instance the backpack bombing at the 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympics that killed two people and injured 120.

But every Olympics since has simply grown bigger and better.

And the athletes and the fans continue to flock to the events.

Acts of terrorism are hard to predict and difficult to completely prevent. However, they are rare events and have a negligible effect on the public, except to make them more security conscious.

The Boston Marathon bombing is no different.

The resiliency of the fans and runners in the face of a horrific crime is one more example of tragedy bringing out the best in people.

A fine example was a hastily-organized five-km. run in Renfrew last Saturday. “Wear your favourite t-shirt from any previous running event or sporting event,” said marathoner Colleen Berry. “Come out and support freedom and peace in memory of those who perished and were injured in the Boston Marathon bombings.”

We welcome all signed letters to the editor.

Web Poll LAST WEEK’S QUESTION With the Victoria Day weekend next month, do you believe we should still celebrate the monarchy on the May long weekend?

COLUMN

Boston changes the running world, but how much?

Many people use short, simple words to identify who or what they are.

The words father, writer and husband work for me, but so does the word runner.

If I was to put a name on my licence plate, it might be RUNNER because some of my most personal efforts and accomplishments — as a journalist, coach and runner — have materialized because of running.

I was privileged to visit Rome, Toronto, Tokyo, Stuttgart, Gothenburg, Los Angeles and Seoul to work at the World Athletics Championships or Olympic Games.

Running also transported me in the 1980s to the Boston Marathon for Athletics Magazine, the national track and field magazine at the time.

I wasnʼt a marathoner, even though my 90-kilometre training weeks used to include Sunday runs of 21 km. But as a competitive runner, coach and track-and-field specialist writer, I was fascinated by and understood runners.

As such, the Boston Marathon was a pivotal part of my own evolving history.

So, when the news broke April 15 that two bomb blasts had left two people dead (later updated to three) and many more injured near the finish line of this prestigious footrace, memories came flooding back

STEVE NEWMAN Steve’s Sixth Sense about the place.

Itʼs the No. 1 marathon home in the world for many runners and members of the media. For me, itʼs No. 1 because Iʼve visited Boston more than any other major American city, and probably because running is such a metaphor for life.

When I heard where the explosions occurred, I thought of the restaurant nearby where I sat interviewing a diabetic marathoner.

Other images flooded back, too.

Like knocking on the hotel room of Norwegian superstar Grete Waitz to see why she had dropped out of the marathon after being in the lead.

Like walking down the street with Canadian marathon record holder Jerome Drayton after he cramped up and was beaten for

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION Will the recent explosions at the Boston Marathon result in lower attendance by fans and runners at the Ottawa Race Weekend?

A) Yes. There’s a chance it could happen here and some will be worried about security.

C) No. Acts of terror only serve to galvanize the public to not allow it to affect their behaviour.

D) If anything, more fans and runners will attend the event in support of the race.

the first time in a footrace by a woman.

Like listening to Alberto Salazarʼs account of how he outdueled fellow American Dick Beardsley 2:08:52 to 2:08:54 in the unforgettable 1982 heat.

For me, Boston, the city or the footrace, also ushered back smells and sounds — the cashews being sold outside baseballʼs Fenway Park, the crinkling of thermal blankets wrapped around marathoners at the finish line, and talking to veteran Runnerʼs World writer Amby Burfoot in the press room.

But now Boston will bear a significant asterisk, perhaps.

For now it remains to be seen how this act of terror affects the world of international races.

It remains to be seen if everyone curls up and stops attending huge international races like Boston and Chicago.

It remains to be seen if race directorsʼ duties, more than ever, are redefined by heightened security measures.

Whatever happens, though, runnersʼ competitive lives will go on, just as airplane travel did after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in September 2001.

As a friend said to me, “Thereʼs something bigger than terrorists that determines when you die.”

A) Yes. It’s an important part of our heritage.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Caught off-guard by pageant web poll diminish because we are comparing our bodies and beauty to those who we feel are more beautiful. Miss Teen Ontario East looks for the inner beauty that society sometimes misses and which truly is more important.

Another option that received votes was that some responders felt there was no need to have Miss Teen Ontario East because it was a thing of the past. In my opinion providing volunteer opportunities and raising money while promoting childhood cancer is nothing that should be kept in the past. We should continue to be thriving to make a difference and awareness for the children living with childhood cancer.

Before this topic is brought up again I think Renfrew and Area should be more informed

about what the Miss Teen Ontario East Pageant goal and objectives are before affecting their image. Their overall message to Eastern Ontario is they are a pageant with a purpose and I am very proud to be a part of it.

Sincerely, Hillary MacMillan – Miss Teen Ontario East 2011 Renfrew Editor’s Note: To clarify, web poll questions are shared with our sister newspaper in Arnprior. This specific question was written by our Arnprior Chronicle-Guide office which was interested in public response to these events. The Renfrew Mercury has always covered and been supportive of local pageant programs and the important charities they support.

tion asked was interpreted as a negative question with only one response being positive, followed by three negative options to respond. There was no need to bring down an organization that has many positive aspects to young females across the Ottawa Valley and to childhood cancer.

My year as Miss Teen Ontario East was one I will never forget and one I truly grew from as an individual. Without my year I would not have the conďŹ dence and would not have received the countless volunteer opportunities I was given. It was truly a gift.

The responses such as the pageant should be about beauty and forgetting about the other talents left me broken hearted.

To the editor: My reaction to the web poll in The Renfrew Mercury about the Miss Teen Ontario East Pageant last week caught me off guard.

One reason is because I myself was an ambassador for the Eastern Ontario Region and for Renfrew.

To see a poll ask the question is the Miss Teen Ontario East Pageant still relevant to our town is a question that should not even be up for discussion.

There are many other issues that are happening that are more important to ask the opinion of others on.

The Renfrew Mercury should put in more thought on what questions they want to ask in their polls. They could have asked a question about the Miss Teen Ontario East organization in a positive manner. The ques-

Bresson family appreciates hospice Diane Bresson

Terminal, the most devastating word you will hear after cancer. Life no longer becomes a matter of quantity but of quality.

Such was the case for us when my husband, Glen, was diagnosed with stage four bladder cancer in November 2009.

Life had treated us well up until then.

With Godʼs blessing we had three beautiful children, four healthy, rambunctious grandchildren, a comfortable home, good jobs and a loving supportive extended family and friends.

Not that there werenʼt a few bumps along the way, nothing is ever perfect, but for the most part we were happy living the life we built and shared together as husband and wife.

Glen lived, worked and played with such passion. Family was always first and foremost. He was a loving father, firm but fair, fearlessly protective and with a penchant to playfully tease. A romantic husband and my very best friend.

In work, he embraced new challenges and threw himself into it 120 percent.

He enjoyed sports and played hard. His favourite being goaltending in winter and summer hockey; so proud of the trophies he would bring home.

His hobbies were music and photography; both of which he turned into second income jobs.

He also took up cooking and the bigger the challenge the more he enjoyed it. He loved to entertain and see people happy and enjoying themselves through food, music and conversation.

Social and family gatherings were always fun. Rest assured that before the evening was over Glen would have us laughing at his one liners and comebacks.

With his warm smile and sparkling blue eyes, he made everyone he met comfortable and at ease. He just reflected that warm, down to earth persona.

Such was the man that I so loved; my knight in shining armour.

It was early November 2009, on a business trip to Germany and in a hospital there that he was given the news that he was gravely ill and needed to return to Canada as soon as possible. His company most generously flew him home, first class. The following week he underwent a battery of tests.

The doctorʼs prognosis was to work toward getting Glen a few more years of quality life.

The next two years were a roller coaster ride; joy and disappointment came in waves.

It seemed Glen was destined from the start to have every conceivable roadblock put in

BRESSON FAMILY

The family of Glen Bresson appreciates the support they received from Hospice Renfrew. front of him. With multiple infections, surgeries and complications, his chemo treatments were continually compromised.

In October 2011 he developed spinal stenosis and the pain was fierce and unrelenting.

We were now told that cancer treatment was no longer an option and that Glen was given two to three months to live. There are no words to describe the emotional impact this had.

Glenʼs wish was to be able to die in his own home but because he needed 24/7 care for pain management that was not an option. I could see the fear in his eyes.

I canʼt even imagine the devastation he must have felt. How was I going to make his last days be the best they could under these circumstances? Because of the special care required we were given two options: one a palliative hospital setting and the other Hospice Renfrew.

Since Glen was bedridden I toured both places and after assurances that Glenʼs special needs would be met, we opted for Hospice Renfrew. It had a homey atmosphere.

I think Glen was thinking more of me in the decision since it was closer to home, especially in winter driving. We were told that through government funding of Hospice Renfrew, the use of volunteers and fundraising there would be no cost to us for Glenʼs stay there.

I so stressed wondering if this was the right decision but as each day went by I became more comfortable as I could see Glen was settling in and bonding with the staff.

The nurses and volunteers were compassionate and dedicated; their patients, first and foremost, treated with dignity and sincere warmth.

No matter what time of day, if a patient was hungry or thirsty, the staff would cheerfully accommodate the request.

He so enjoyed his foot rubs and the sincere interest staff held as they conversed about his life. His room was bright and cheery and furnished with cozy comfort.

With a large picture window we could watch the birds and hoped to see the deer that often came around. The room was large enough to have several visitors at a time.

We would lunch with friends who brought his favourite egg rolls.

All our family would come and spend memorable time with Glen; cherish memories and some good laughs.

He got to meet his five-month-old grand niece for the first time.

I would spend hours upon hours each day with Glen and I was never made to feel I had overstayed my welcome.

The staff at Hospice Renfrew did what they could to make me feel comfortable as well.

As it was coming on to Christmas we would watch the classic movies into the evening sipping on tea and munching on dessert.

There were always scrumptious goodies lovingly made by volunteers at the hospice.

We had planned that I would stay overnight on Christmas Eve and again on New Years Eve to celebrate together.

The staff offered to set up a table and chairs so that our children and grandchildren, all 10 of us total, could have Christmas dinner together.

We were so looking forward to this. We new this would be Glenʼs last but we wanted to make it special for him.

Alas, that was not to be. Arriving about noon on Christmas Eve, Glen was already failing.

I called for our children and grandchildren to come to be with Glen in his last hours.

Mysteriously, a single deer looked into the window that afternoon but Glen could not see it. Did she know he was dying?

When he breathed his last breath, the hospice staff was there for us.

In silent comfort they understood our need to grieve but were there for us to lean on them for strength.

Our family is grateful that Glenʼs last days were “quality days.”

We thank the staff, the volunteers and the generous giving of donations from the public and businesses that keep Hospice Renfrew doors open to those in need. God bless you all.

Continued from Page 9 The winners become ambassadors of childhood cancer awareness and volunteer in many fundraising events throughout the year, as well as continue to promote the cause and bring awareness of its beneďŹ ts.

The committee members of the Miss Teen Ontario East Pageant are all volunteers, who not only take time off from their own jobs and work tirelessly through the planning and presentation of the event, but also organize and take part in many fundraising events yearly to support the Candlelighters Foundation and other childhood cancer charities. What some might also not know is that the winners of the pageant (and in many cases delegates from previous years) volunteer their time for between 80 to 100 different events throughout the year that support local charities and organizations in the Ottawa Valley. As someone who has worked with youth for many years; I know ďŹ rsthand that not all youth would be willing to take on such a big roll and the participants who take part in this pageant should be very proud of themselves for the amazing example they set for their peers and generations of youth to come.

I could understand the question being raised about a typical beauty pageant like the ones we might see in the movies, but the Miss Teen Ontario East Pageant does not belong in that category. It is unfortunate that there was an attempt to shed a negative light on something that provides such an amazing opportunity for young ladies in our community and raises awareness for such a worthwhile cause.

It is equally unfortunate that instead of applauding these young ladies who are competing to become ambassadors and role models in our community; our local newspaper is posing the question of whether such a pageant is relevant.

Contact township to oppose proposed closure of Farrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landing in Horton To the editor: Horton Township is considering selling FarrellĘźs Landing Road which is the beginning of the Opeongo Line.

FarrellĘźs Landing is marked with a monument on River Road County Road about one kilometre west of Castleford Road-County Road 20. If one came out of Renfrew on Bruce

Street past Tim Hortons and signs to the hospital and cross highway 17 it would become Castleford Road.

The people who own the property east of FarrellĘźs Landing want to buy the road and close it to public access.

Neighbours who bought property nearby have public access from their property to the Ottawa River are upset and do not want the road closed.

FarrellĘźs Landing is a historical site and is often visited by bus tours travelling up the Opeongo Road. There is parking at the monument.

People have walked to the Ottawa River to see where the steamships tied up to docks.

The Opeongo Line Road from FarrellĘźs Landing to the BarryĘźs Bay area was originally proposed as a road to

Lake Simcoe.

There is a marker about 200 yards from the end of FarrellĘźs Landing in the Ottawa River to mark the spot where the steamships tied up to the dock.

If you would like Horton Township

Knowing this, every sportsman and hunter, shooter, collector, and concerned citizen should vote in favour of Cheryl GallantĘźs motion, thereby helping her end the unjust treatment of responsible people.

You can cast your vote online at Mrs. GallantĘźs website â&#x20AC;&#x201C; cheryl@responsibleďŹ rearmsreform.ca â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it only takes a few moments to do, and remember this, Cheryl Gallant fought tooth and nail to successfully end the federal long gun registry, and she will ďŹ ght tooth and nail to successfully end the provincial ďŹ rearms ofďŹ ce agenda as well.

over a decade to have abolished.

Mrs. GallantĘźs motion further calls for all provincial ďŹ rearms agencies to be privatized and made service oriented, instead of agenda oriented, because provincial ďŹ rearms ofďŹ cers are routinely interpreting the federal ďŹ rearm laws instead of enforcing the federal ďŹ rearm laws as they are supposed to.

Privatizing these provincial agencies will ensure that the federal ďŹ rearm regulations are uniformly enforced nationwide, provide substantial cost savings, end the petty harassment of law abiding gun owners, and provide the public accountability so woefully absent at this time.

The result has been ongoing harassment for lawful ďŹ rearm owners, especially since the former Liberal governmentĘźs arbitrarily-imposed gun bill was ofďŹ cially amended by the Conservative Party on April 5, 2012 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thus ending a draconian gun registry Cheryl Gallant fought for

SUBMITTED

Providing psychological services are, from left, Dr. Richard Kaley, Ryan Kaley and Dr. Henry Venema.

The Robbie Dean Family Counselling Centre is pleased to announce that psychologists Dr. Richard Kaley, Dr. Henry Venema and doctoral psychology candidate Ryan Kaley have begun providing psychological services at the Ottawa Valley Health and Wellness Centre.

The centre is located at 715 Mackay Street, Pembroke adjacent to the Pembroke Re-

This new practice will significantly enhance existing mental health support available in Renfrew County through individual, couples, family and group services.

The practice will focus on problems such as relationship issues, parenting, anxiety and depression, trauma, chronic pain or illness, and other mental health issues.

Their treatment approach is based on a combination of cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based techniques.

Appointments and/or referrals may be made by calling the Ottawa Valley Health and Wellness Centre at 613635-4715, extension “0” and speaking with Erin, or by faxing 613-735-9173.

A season of competition for Toastmasters Toastmasters

For Toastmasters, spring and fall provide opportunities for speakers to compete against others in speech contests.

In the spring, the International Speech Contest draws in speakers from all over the world, competing in their districts and regions for the opportunity to compete at the conference in August and the chance to become the World Champion.

The other contests may end at the local district levels, but they, too, provide an opportunity for fun and competition as contestants share their funny stories in the humorous speech contests or the tall tales contests.

They also develop their impromptu speaking skills in the evaluation contests and the table topics contests.

Why would a person want to subject

themselves to such a practice? IsnĘźt it tough enough to get up in front of your fellow co-workers to give a presentation?

Or in front of your local club?

They do it to grow, to enhance their skills.

People who participate in Toastmasters develop their conďŹ dence as they participate in weekly meetings, taking on the various roles of Toastmaster, Table Topics Master, Grammarian, Timer, Educational Tip, ĘťAhĘź Counter.

Each time they speak at a meeting, or challenge themselves to present a speech, they grow.

When they want to challenge themselves further, they participate in contests â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from club level, to area level, to division level, to district level, and in the case of the International speech contest, to the international level.

If you are thinking about develop-

Looking toward the stars Public meeting Monday to unveil plans for observatory near Griffith Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

The skies are darker than coal, the location is accessible and free of artificial light, and the elevation is just right.

Just right, that is, to develop a world-class observatory that is scheduled to open near Griffith in 2016.

Members of Madawaska Highlands Observatory Corporation, including chief executive officer Frank Roy of Ottawa, are organizing a Monday, April 29 public meeting at the Griffith Lions Club hall to outline plans for the project.

“We basically want to inform and connect with the local population, as this will certainly be a huge job generator,” said Roy. He says the observatory will generate more than 250 jobs, including 150 directly.

An artist’s rendition of the Madawaska Highlands Observatory scheduled to be built near Griffith.

The projectʼs price tag is estimated at $15- to $20-million.

“It will bring prestige, visibility and recognition to the area,” said Roy, who worked as an engineer for more than 20 years for an Ottawa firm.

“The project needs to be a minimum size in order to suc-

ceed and attract investors.”

The idea came about in 2007, but Madawaska Highlands Observatory wasnʼt incorporated until 2012.

Roy, who addressed Renfrew County council in 2009 about the project, is now ready to say a lot more.

Observatory would mean jobs

POWERFUL TELESCOPES

Key components to the observatory are the on-site location of two of Canadaʼs most powerful telescopes — the wide-field telescope and the one-metre f7 RC Nasmyth telescope. Each will be contained in a separate observatory.

There will also be a separate building for two 40-inch visitors telescopes.

There will also be a dozen 30-inch visitors telescopes, with four housed per small building. The observatory will also host 30- and 40-inch visitors telescopes year-round.

All of the visitors telescopes will be available year-round and elevated off the ground to avoid ground turbulence, to provide sharp and exquisite views of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Uranus and Neptune.

The plan also calls for staff to include experienced interpreters, who are versed in school curriculum, to provide tours.

Without providing details, Roy says one serious investor is already behind the facility.

“We are 100 per cent certain it will happen, as there is intense interest,” said Roy. For example, he says Canadian professional astronomers have shown a big interest in the science telescopes and the potential impact on promoting astronomy and the night sky.

“We believe that this facility is the best possible fit with the region in terms generating jobs, environmental impact and minimizing impact on local residents,” added Roy. “The observatory also has a huge ʻcoolʼ factor.”

The original plan was to build just an observatory, but now the focus is on developing a world-class tourism facility whose focus is the observatory.

The project is being tagged as an extraordinary Canadian destination whose major structures would be the Madawaska Highlands Observatory, a 140-seat digital planetarium theatre, a visitors centre and a hotel conference centre. The visitors centre would be energy-independent, operating from solar energy and well-water heat pumps.

An artist’s rendition of the visitors centre. planned as part of the Madawaska Highlands Observatory project near Griffith.

feature a souvenirs boutique, ticket kiosk, showers, astronomersʼ quarters, lecture rooms, and an Algonquin display about the deep link between the stars and local aboriginals.

Plans also call for a four-star hotel with panoramic views 175 metres above the Madawaska River while operating off the energy grid.

Flood warning issued by MNR The Pembroke District of the Ministry of Natural Resources has issued a flood warning for parts of Renfrew County.

Warm weather and forecasted rain, combined with the rapid melting of the remaining snow pack, is producing increased runoff in the areas downstream from Algonquin Park, and on the Ottawa River.

Localized flooding may occur in the following areas of Renfrew County.

- Upper Madawaska River – Barryʼs Bay and Palmer Rapids areas; - Upper Bonnechere River – Round and Golden Lakes; and - Ottawa River – From Westmeath to Chats Lake.Generally high water is occurring in streams, rivers and lakes across Renfrew County, and is expected to continue for the next few weeks.

Streams and rivers are very dangerous at this time of year. MNR advises all residents to stay away from lakeshores and riverbanks.

In spring, robins gather to feed among the piles of snow Ron Huntley in Lanark had a single robin come to feed in an open spot two-feet (60 cm) square where the water from the sump pump had collected and then drained away.

When he looked again at the spot there were two, then three until there were eleven all feeding together. To make the incident more interesting a bird arrived that had all the attributes of a robin except that its plumage was very unusual.

The breast was white and there were blotches of dark brown on the wings and head and small patches of dark orange on the flanks. The birds continued to feed together most of the day. Ron had never seen a robin with so much white in the feathers.

Ron also had huge flocks of common redpolls, dark-eyed juncos and goldfinches at his feeders and felt it was one of the best days for birding since last spring.

SWALLOWS WILL BE HUNGRY

Scene from the Hawk’s Eye sheltered spots during cold weather.

BLUEBIRDS

Erika Zimmerling had bluebirds return to her bird houses on Spence Road near Cobden this week and she says it is certainly good to see them again. Judy and Murray Borer have bluebirds at their home along with song sparrows, purple finches and northern flickers. Song sparrows are heavily streaked with dark brown and have a central dark breast spot, the best field mark for this species.

If you do not have your bluebird houses out yet now would be a good time to do so.

Although nesting will not start for a few weeks time is needed for squabbling as to who will nest where and with whom.

Carol McCuaig saw a yellow-rumped warbler at Poison Ivy Acres this week, very unusual for it to be back so early. This warbler is able to survive on dried berries and other fruit that has remained on bushes over the winter.

There are two forms, those with black and white stripes on their heads and those that have brown and tan streaks on their heads. Tan and brown birds almost always mate with white-striped birds. Scientists are still searching for an explanation for this occurrence.

Finches are very aware of their need for conifer seeds and will migrate to nest in areas where the cones are abundant. The redpolls, for example, have been here most of the winter but they may leave to nest and not return for three or four years. Grosbeaks are much the same, moving each year to where there is food.

Dodie Bailey and Marlene Hanneman saw a barn swallow last week and Terry Cunningham saw tree swallows investigating his bird houses. Joyce Calverley at Douglas had tree swallows return to previous nest sites near her home. Both of these swallows are insectivores and cannot survive without their daily ration of flying insects and to our knowledge there have been very few hatches of insects so far this spring.

Tree swallows are able to go into a state of turbidity where they lower their heart rate and remain quiet during periods of low temperatures and inadequate food supply. They may also use birdhouses and buildings as

Organizers expect this will be the largest bicycle tour to ever cross the United States and Canada. Riders have the option of going the full distance or registering for one- to fiveweek segments.

Renfrew cyclists Frank Folkema and Dora VanderWoude will be part of this yearʼs 3,900-mile event.

Each will be riding four weeks.

“Iʼm doing L.A. to Colorado Springs, and then from Montreal to New York, the last leg,” Folkema noted.

“Iʼm doing the last four weeks this time,” VanderWoude said, “Iʼm starting in Iowa City and then I go to New York.”

“So, between the two of us, weʼll pretty well have done the whole thing,” Folkema added.

The field of 150 or more riders is cycling to raise awareness and funds to fight poverty around the world.

While one canʼt pledge VanderWoude and Folkema collectively, they can pledge one or both individually by going to the website www. seatosea.org and following the directions to the individual cyclistʼs name.

“The money goes to ending the cycle of poverty,” VanderWoude stressed.

“The Christian Reformed Church is hosting the event, but the cyclists are doing it because they want to help end poverty. They are not doing it for the church.”

“We also want people to understand, it is going to bonafide causes to relieve poverty,” Folkema added.

This is the third Sea to Sea tour for VanderWoude and second for Folkema.

When both did the 2008 event, it only rained one morning.

“The rest of the time was fairly hot weather,” Folkema recalled.

VanderWoude said they wished for more rain, especially in the mountains.

One of the cyclists brought up a good point, Folkema recalled.

“Do you know what it would be like to be in poverty?”

Folkema said a good way to picture it is to choose one gear on your bicycle, and thatʼs the only gear you can use for the whole day. With poverty, you donʼt have the mobility to move up or down. You are stuck in your situation because you donʼt have the resources to better it.

“None of us has ever really experienced the kind of poverty that we are talking about,” Folkema noted.

“A lot of times people think poverty is just not having enough to eat,” VanderWoude added. “But poverty is not having clean water, not having proper housing, accommodations, sanitation, clothing.”

“And a lot of times, many people donʼt have work,” Folkema said.

“People can open their hearts a little bit,” he added.

“Weʼll never end poverty. Poverty will always be with us, and so, when we say raising funds to end poverty, we know weʼre not really talking about ending poverty, but it is a step towards alleviating poverty.”

Folkema said every bit of help will be appreciated by those who need it.

A shocking statistic is that more than three billion people – the worldʼs population is seven billion – live on less than $2.50 a day. Four-hundred million people donʼt have access to

Folkema and VanderWoude will be cycling side-by-side for the final week of the June 21 to Aug. 24 Sea to Sea event.

To prepare for this tour, the goal is to cycle 100 kilometres three days in a row, Folkema noted.

Both have participated in numerous cycling events in recent years.

Folkema has done the Rideau Lakes Tour which runs from Ottawa to Kingston and back, spanning 180 km each day; plus a number of triathlons around the province.

Folkema has also cycled in France, and participated in the 2008 Sea-toSea tour.

VanderWoude cycled the Sea-toSea in both 2005 and 2008, a threeweek cycling event in 2006 in Canada, across New Zealand in 2007, and in Europe from Amsterdam to Milan in 2010.

That last event took her through Holland, Belgium, Luxemburg, Ger-

Boston is about 586 kilometres from here. But it became a lot closer Saturday as the local running community showed its respect. Renfrew marathoner Colleen Berry put the word out on a 5-km event in the cityʼs honour, and the runners were quick to stand by her side.

They included Volkert (Bob) Bobeldijk and wife Arpick of Pembroke, Alison Seely of Beachburg, and Renfrew natives Stewart and Brian Campbell, who were all in Boston.

Colleen OʼShaughnessy (nee Kasaboski) was visiting her hometown of Renfrew with her children Mary, Kate and Michael. They reside in Middleborough, Mass., about an hour from Boston. The Renfrew 5-km run was an opportunity to connect with people who had been in Boston on

marathon day, and were thinking of friends and co-workers who ran or were spectators. Colleen works at Boston Childrenʼs Hospital, where 10 kids were treated.

Wake surf coming to Calabogie Peaks MAY 9th, 2013

Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Calabogie Peaks Resort will be holding a first-time event, the Calabogie Wake Surf Championship July 11 to 13.

Event co-ordinator Scott DʼAscenzo says the popularity of the sport is taking off.

“Wake surfing is a new and upcoming sport.

Itʼs really developed in the southern USA and itʼs coming up this way pretty quick,” he said.

The benefits of it is when you fall, you donʼt hurt yourself. What youʼre doing is you are actually getting up to it about 10-feet behind the boat with a rope, DʼAscenzo added.

“The boatʼs only going about 10 miles an hour, so when you get the groove you can let go of the rope and free surf, just like being in the ocean.”

It gives you the great sensation of surfing just like on the coast, DʼAscenzo added.

The wake surfing championship circuit consists of 12 events in the world this year. Events are held in Russia, Germany, Switzerland, Thailand, Mexico, Canada, and the United States, with several stops.

“And one of those events is in Calabogie, so we are really looking forward to marketing this event on a global scale,” DʼAscenzo said.

“We are hosting it at Calabogie Peaks on their shoreline. The beach front is going to have vendors and tents and boat displays.”

DʼAscenzo said a parasailing unit from Haliburton is coming to Calabogie for the weekend, and itʼll be a great festival for all ages.

“Thatʼs the beauty of the sport. It caters to young and old. It doesnʼt hurt when you fall and itʼs a lot of fun,” DʼAscenzo added.

A featured performer at Calabogie will be six-time world wake surfing champion Drew

The Queen of Canadian wake surfing, Caroline Villeneuve, will be among the competitors in the Calabogie Wave Surf Championships at Calabogie Peaks Resort Friday, July 11 to Sunday, July 13.

Danielo of Florida, as well as Canadians Dominic Lagacé and Caroline Villeneuve.

Lagacé is a man of many wake surfing tricks and Villeneuve, known in the circuit as Caro, is the queen of Canadian wake surfing.

Theyʼll also be conducting clinics at the Calabogie event.

Also appearing will be Canadian Chris Hau, who is adept at playing guitar as he is wake surfing, and Bri Chmel, who has surfed her way to five world titles in the past six years.

Renegade Bass tournament at Braeside Aug. 10 Renegade Bass

PETER CLARK/METROLAND

The Renegade Bass Tournament Association has served Eastern Ontario for 17 years. The federally-recognized not-for-proďŹ t association annually promotes and produces CanadaĘźs leading live release bass ďŹ shing series.

On Saturday, Aug. 10, Renegade Bass will host its 12th pro-am tournament on the Ottawa River launching out of Braeside.

The pro-am is an event which organizers are extremely proud of and serves as a seed for competitive angling hopefuls.

This tournament is quite different when compared to conventional proam formats in that the objective of the association is to introduce competitive ďŹ shing to new anglers and to heighten their skills through assistance from their pro Renegade Bass anglers.

The pros donate their day, boat, equipment and fuel to take out a new angler in an effort of showing them the excitement of competitive live-release bass ďŹ shing.

The prize structure is exclusive to the amateurs which ensures that these new prospects enjoy all of the fruits of the eventĘźs sponsors.

This also ensures that the Pros are ďŹ xated on teaching their amateurs rather than competing themselves.

The pros who do donate their day (despite the absence of prizes or money for them) is a wonderful testament to their genuine desire to encourage and educate a new group of competitive anglers.

Foul shooting hurts Dunbar in ladies hoops Rob Warren Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spring Basketball

Dunbar Fuels wasnĘźt nearly as effective from beyond the arc as were the Reunions in Ladies Spring Basketball League play.

Dunbar made only one of many, while the Reunions ďŹ red up fewer but still made seven en route to a 5217 victory. Taylor Sul scored eight

points in the last minute to lead her teamĘźs win with 12 points.

Dunbar Fuels fared much better against the Renfrew Golf Club Bananas, in the ďŹ rst half. They trailed by a mere point (9-8) at the half, but couldnĘźt contain Lisa Blokland in the second half. Lisa controlled the boards and scored a game-high nine points, as her team pulled away 2413.

Mid-Town Flooring couldnĘźt ďŹ nd the basket and scored only one bucket in the ďŹ rst half against the Bananas.

Things didnĘźt improve greatly in the second half in a 28-9 decision. Lisa Blokland again led her squad, with 10 points.

The Reunions and the Bananas are off to a great start with three wins each after two nights of action. The other four teams are still winless.

Along with a day on the water with a pro, all competing amateur participants receive prize packages from series sponsors.

As this is a competition, top placing amateurs will also receive additional prizes over and above what each participant receives.

Past participants have raved about their experience and value received for this event, encouraging fellow anglers to sign-up the following year.

It should be noted to the amateurs, there has always been a waiting list for this incredible event with a limit

of 30 competitors.

Sign up quickly, encourages the tournament committee.

Many past pro-am competitors, both men and women have joined through a gift from a loved one. It is a popular gift for the anglers in the family.

Registration time is 6 a.m. with launch time at 7 a.m.

The registration fee for amateurs is $200.

Fish are to be weighed in at 2 p.m.

A barbecue will be held during the weigh-in ceremony.

Country Legend Gene Watson is coming to the Ottawa Valley this June for a special concert at the AFAC 433 Wing in Renfrew on June 7.

Watson has kept the same quality and tone of his voice in his 50th celebrated year of classic country music.

This masterful country stylist from Houston, Texas has been thrilling audiences for more than 50 years. WatsonĘźs very ďŹ rst radio single, the selfpenned If Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s That Easy, was released in 1962.

He celebrated his 50 years in the music business, a golden anniversary, in 2012.

Although the song didnĘźt make any radio charts, it did start the career of the man now known as The SingerĘźs Singer.

WatsonĘźs tally of 75 charted titles, 23 Top-10 hits and six number-one records has led to membership in the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame.

Radio listeners are still transďŹ xed whenever classics like Farewell Party, Fourteen Carat Mind or Love in the Hot Afternoon are played.

The depth of emotion in his singing, his brilliant phrasing, his jaw-dropping range and the power in the lyrics he chooses are all factors in the awe he inspires in both fans and his musical peers.

At an age when most people are contemplating retirement, Watson is still making some of the greatest records of his life, receiving such accolades as Album of the Year and even Album of the Decade from journalists around the world.

Watson earned the title of 2010 Country Music Legend of the Year, from Citadel MediaĘźs Real Country Radio Network nationwide fan vote.

Watson is one of the rare singers who still sings in the same key as he did 30 years ago, and his audiences respond with standing ovations night after night when he nails the

octave-jumping last note on his most requested song, the now country classic Farewell Party.

As Rodney Crowell so aptly stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just when I think Country Music is a lost art form, something by Gene Watson catches my ear and I can breathe again.â&#x20AC;?

Considered one of the best pure-country singers of his generation Watson offers up one of the best traditional country shows in the business.

His stunning voice captivates audiences and keeps his fans coming back again and again.

Tickets for the June 7 Renfrew show are only $34.95 plus tax and are available at Moncion Grocers in Pembroke and Petawawa, in Renfrew at the AFAC 433 Wing and Valley Heritage Radio, or online at www.TicketWeb.ca The Wing can only hold so many hundred Gene Watson fans, so buy early to avoid disappointment.

The show is being presented

“The pool of talent we have in the Valley is incredible,” Etmanski said.

“It was easy to make such a great house band.” County Opry will also have a veteran sound and lighting presence in Bruce Presley.

“It can be seen as a family day.”

The Sunday (May 12) is Motherʼs Day, Etmanski adds.

Mary Etmanski invites everyone to “dust off their boots” and go to the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre May 11-12. Etmanski is organizer of Country Opry Show & Dance with show times 7 p.m. Saturday and 1:30 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $15 at Aikenheadʼs Drug Store, Barry Breen Insurance, Valley Heritage Radio and at the door. All proceeds are going to the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Healing Garden.

“I thought of the Healing Garden because Iʼm really passionate about the whole theme,” Etmanski said.

“Thatʼs what all the funds are going toward. Itʼs a show you are not going to want to miss,” she added.

“I used to do this show in Cobden.

I was a participant, and then I took over the co-ordinating of it. It was a fabulous, fabulous fundraiser,” Etmanski recalled.

Last year, waking up in the middle of the night, Etmanski thought, “Iʼm going to do another Opry fundraiser – in town. I started writing things down, formed a small committee, and here we are.”

When it comes to entertainment, Etmanski and daughters Joscelyn and Jackie will be stepping up to the podium. “Weʼre a trio. Weʼre Dolly, Tammy and Loretta,” she said. Part of the deal is to dress the part, too, chuckled Etmanski.

Jennifer Johnston, Julie Johnston, Chris Burant of Barryʼs Bay and Faron Brown of Bancroft are among the performers, as well as Etmanskiʼs granddaughter Emily, who is Tanya

Tucker. Other Renfrew entertainers include Andy Taylor and Keith Mulvihill.

“We also have legend George Jones, and Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton individually, and we have a comedy show,” she said.

“We have a Minnie Pearl and a Boxcar Willie, and Johnny Cash and June Carter; and we have a Merle Haggard. Dennis Meilleur is Merle Haggard.

“I donʼt want to give too much out, here,” she added.

But she does have a fellow coming in as Roy Orbison. “This guy thatʼs doing Roy Orbison, he did every show in Cobden. If you had your eyes closed, youʼd think thatʼs who it was.

Excellent,” Etmanski said.

Etmanski reminds people that itʼs not only a show, but also a dance.

On Sunday, Etmanski wants to get the kids involved. There will be a costume contest for kids eight years of age and under, prior to the show, around 1 p.m.

“I think it teaches them to become volunteers, and we have to start somewhere to bring on new volunteers,” she said. “And itʼs fun to be a volunteer. It makes you feel good.

It also teaches them about the past.

“I think thereʼs a need for them to know and understand nanny and papa, what we lived through and what we loved in music, and get to feel it.

“Itʼs great music and a little nostalgia. “Not only are we selling tickets (for County Opry), but we are also encouraging people to sponsor or make donations in memory of someone.”

1938: Effort to resurrect cricket once played at the Renfrew fairgrounds APRIL 25, 1913

MYSTERY SOLVED: Reeve Bolger of Admaston has been, in connection with the railway, asking for a safer crossing at the junction of the K&P Railway with the Renfrew and Douglas Road, at John Mayhewʼs.

Engineers, it is understood, have been on the spot. The reeveʼs idea is that the crossing could be made safer by a removal, not of railway track but of the roadway taking it somewhat up the hill, when those driving would have much better command of view of the approach of trains.

MR. AND MRS. STICKLE IN NEW DUTIES: A letter from Vegraville to Mr. Orange Wright brings news of two former Renfrewites – Mr. and Mrs. W.A. Stickle, formerly of Renfrew schools. In December last they went to that western town to organize for the Albertan government a boarding school for foreignspeaking young men. It is a difficult

OLGA LEWIS From the Old Files problem, but the prospect in the work appealed to the teaching instinct in both Mr. and Mrs. Stickle, and now they are enjoying it very much. The first term they had 19 boys, of all ages, and some of whom could not say “good day” in English when they came in February, and can now read and write fairly well and carry on some conversation.

APRIL 28, 1938

BIRDS AND BIRD HOUSES SHOWN ON SCREEN: Patrons of the OʼBrien Theatre got something extra Saturday in the form of birds

present would be a favorable time for the introduction, or re-introduction of the old English game. At one time it was played here. During the Great War a cricket crease was laid out on the exhibition grounds. No trace of it is now to be seen

and bird houses in a region like Ontario, followed by a voyage in the Arctic Sea on board a government boat, Brother. Whether or not Dr. Livingstone formed one of the crew was left for the Renfrew audience to imagine. The audience saw ice floes, icebergs, seals, walruses and husky dogs, etc. Also all manner of birds, including the tern. Some ideas in the way of bird houses construction were revealed in the pictures, all of which were noted by the boys present, and it was also demonstrated that kindness to birds from year to year soon leads to taming them.

SOME PEOPLE ADVOCATING CRICKET: Ottawa men who play cricket have sent letters to Renfrewites who they think might be interested in cricket. They suggest that clubs be organized in the Upper Ottawa Valley, to be followed by formation of a league. It is pointed out that since baseball appears to be dead and lacrosse is hopelessly buried, the

APRIL 26, 1978

TIMBERTOWN REFERENCE CHANGED: The Town of Renfrew will be used as a reference point for the location of Timbertown in the future rather than Arnprior, according to a letter from the Ministry of Industry and Tourism. Renfrew Mayor Lyons Ringrose told council that he called the minister after he noticed that Arnprior was always used as the reference town. He pointed out that Renfrew was both larger and closer to the proposed location. He also noted that Renfrew had plans that will be developed in conjunction with Timbertown. The minister said that,

in the future, the location of Timbertown will refer to Renfrew whenever appropriate on news releases.

FIREMEN GET 5.75 PER CENT: Renfrew firemen will receive an increase in pay of 5.75 per cent in an agreement passed by council Monday night. Deputy Reeve Donohue noted that the only major change in the contract was the salaries. The base rate for a first class fireman with three years experience is $15,656.29.

A second class fireman will get $14,090.66; third class fireman $12,525.03; fourth class $10,959.40; and probationary $10,176.59. Probationary rates are paid for six months, then fourth class for one year, third class for the second year, and second class for the third year of employment on the department. There is also a captain rate of $17,221.39 which replaces the lieutenantʼs rate.

However, there is no person in this classification.

Finally, spring is upon us, and the world around us is waking up from its sleepy winter hibernation.

With the beautiful smell of damp earth, the tulips freshly budding from the ground, the sweet sounds of the songbirds, inspiration is everywhere!

The last meeting with special guest artist Patrick John Mills from Ottawa was a huge success. All who attended took away something about the controversial, diversified world of art.

The committee for Art in the Park is diligently working on the upcoming second annual event which will take place on July 13 and 14 in Haramis Park.

There are still spaces available and artists wishing to exhibit their work at the event may contact the Renfrew Art Guild via their website at www. renfrewartguild.com The next RAG meeting will be held May 7 at 7 p.m. at Trinity-St. Andrewʼs United Church. Everyone welcome.

Bring your crayons and/or colouring pencils and bristol board for a fun, creative evening.

THANK-YOU A big Thank-You to all our amazing neighbours, friends, and extended family who supported us after Mom’s passing. The food, donations to Holy Cross Church, masses, flowers, prayers, and well wishes have been remarkable.

To everyone who made the trip to Low to support us during the wake and funeral, you will always be remembered.

It has been an unbelievable couple of weeks, only made bearable by your support.

May God bless all of you.

PENNY LAMENDEAU April 27, 2012

The moment that you died, Our hearts split in two, The one side filled with memories, The other died with you.

We often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon our cheeks.

Remembering you is easy, We do it everyday, But missing you is a heartache, That never goes away.

We hold you tightly within our hearts, and there you will remain, Life has gone on without you, But it never will be the same.

A wonderful mother, woman, and aide, One who was better God never made; A wonderful worker, so loyal and true, One in a million, that mother was you.

Just in your judgment, always right; Honest and liberal, ever upright; Loved by your friends and all whom you knew Our wonderful mother, that mother was you.

Loved and always remembered, Randy, Daphne, Brodie and Nicole

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

Ten years have passed… our grief remains…

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

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

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

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

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

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

Forever in our hearts…

Deb, Doug and Erin

Dwayne (Duke) Schnob

The Voice of the Wind When the warm breeze of April caresses you Part of it will be me.

When you look into the eyes of my children part Of them will be me.

When a snowflake of winter plans a kiss on Your cheek that kiss might well have been me.

And the dust which appears out of nowhere may that be a part of the dust that was me.

Through the promise of morning and the voice of the wind I will always have something to say.

To reflect on those wonderful moments and Warm you as you make you way.

All things that we both were a part of will Continue to brighten each day.

Making room for the sounds of your laughter

by Remembering I’m not far away.

By David Garred Forever in our Hearts

Feb. 27, 1964 – Apr. 29, 2010 Life is but a stopping place, A pause in what’s to be, A resting place along the road, To sweet eternity.

We all have different journeys, Different paths along the way, We are all meant to learn some things, But never meant to stay.

Our destination is a place, Far greater than we know, For some the journey’s quicker, For some the journey’s slow.

But when the journey finally ends, We’ll claim a great reward, And find an everlasting peace, Together with the Lord.

Missing you…Love Always, Jennifer, Steven, Alex, Abby, Danielle, Bradley and Payton xoxox
