It was quite the crowning achievement for Danika Jenkins.

Jenkins, who hails from Orleans, was crowned the 2017 Miss Teen Ontario East at the pageant at the Renfrew Recreation Centre on Sunday, April 23.

“I feel out of this world right now. I feel honestly crazy. I wasn’t expecting it. I still feel like crying almost. I am just so happy,” said Jenkins on stage after receiving a group hug from all of the other delegates.

When she heard her name called it brought tears to her eyes.

“I was just so excited, I was just happy to be there,” said Jenkins.

“I was just thinking about the amazing experience I just had, this whole weekend with everybody it was just unreal.”

Jenkins is currently in her first year at the University of Ottawa in conflict studies and human rights. She is really looking forward to the new opportunities the title will bring, including promoting the pageant’s main cause awareness of childhood cancer.

“I’m excited to give them a chance to shine and be there and speak with them,” said Jenkins. “I’m really, really grateful for this chance and everything I will be able to do with this title.”

The first runner-up is Grade 11 student Megan King, from Pembroke’s Bishop Smith Catholic High School.

“I’m really excited and I hope to do a lot of good for what the pageant represents and I hope to inspire some other girls,” said King.

She couldn’t believe it when her name was called.

“I was so shocked that it was me but I am so thankful at the same time,” said King.

The second runner-up is Alexa Gamache, from Eganville, who is in Grade 10 at Opeongo High School.

“I’m super excited and can’t wait to see what opportunities it brings me,” said Gamache. “I was speechless.”

She is looking forward to helping other people over the next year.

“I am really excited to put a smile on other people’s faces,” said Gamache.

The pageant, a not-for-profit volunteer driven organization, advocates for the promotion of childhood cancer awareness. During the show the delegates performed a special number for focusing on cancer, with lights being placed on the stage spelling “Strength, Hope, Love and Faith.”

Before the number cancer champion Paige Dillabough inspired the large crowd.

“Cancer can take out hair, it can take our dignity, it can beat us down and it can hit us again and again with all that’s got,” said Dillabough. “But the one think it can’t take from us is our determination, our spirit and our love of life.” In her passionate voice she spoke of how precious life is. “And we choose to live every day like it’s our last.

Don’t put off until tomorrow something you want to do today. Wake up every day with a smile on your face and a positive attitude,” said Dillabough.

She reminded the audience that life is a gift and everyone should treat it that way.

“I speak for cancer fighters everywhere when I say cherish your yesterdays, dream your tomorrows but always live your today’s,” said Dillabough. During the evening a number of awards were handed out to some of the 22 delegates. The Miss Teen Ontario East photogenic award went to: Natalie Artymko. Ebonie Kauffeldt won the Miss Teen Ontario East charity award. Ashlyn McClure was the talent winner. Tiffany Yakabuskie won the fashion award.

The new Line Rheault Memorial Interview award was handed out to Alexa Gamache, in memory of the longtime judge who passed away last year. The Lindsay Norton Memorial Award went to Cassandra Hewitt. Megan King won both the Ontario East Top Model Award and registration to the national pageant and the evening gown award. Emma Schaly took home the friendship award.

And last year’s winner Sophia DeCarle received the Miss Teenage Eastern Ontario crown from Kathleen Barr and is off to the national pageant this summer.

Large crowd hears plans for future of Renfrew’s downtown TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com

The vision for downtown Renfrew’s streetscape was unveiled on April 18.

About 40 people filled council chambers to hear the results of the seven-month long project: the Downtown Streetscape Master Plan.

Renfrew development and works director Mike Asselin was very encouraged by the turnout.

“It was a great turnout and the types of questions are what we anticipated,” said Asselin. “From the nature of the questions a lot of people absorbed the content from the previous meetings and generally there are no showstoppers from what I heard.”

Allison Good, landscape architect at MMM Group Limited, presented the design considerations at the meeting and called the feedback from the community key.

“I would say it was on the high end of feedback for this type and scale for this type of project for this size of community,” said Good. “I have never seen such consistent attendance at public open houses.”

The business improvement association invited her to its annual general meeting, which she thought was really nice.

“That was great, to show that kind of enthusiasm and kind of engage off hours,” said Good.

Overall they had about 50 responses to the questionnaire.

“It’s been great and all of the feedback has been really constructive, sometimes you get some (Not In My Back Yard comments), some people don’t want change,” said Good. “But that’s not been the case here, everyone has been very supportive, very interested in the process and very keen to see things happen in a meaningful way.”

Asselin says the biggest change people will notice when it is done is the amount of features.

“The sidewalks and street furniture will be organized in a way that they can get around quite a bit better.

There will be a lot more rest areas, if you have some mobility issues you will be able to have more rest spots,” said Asselin. “As well as a refreshed look, everything will be refreshed and coordinate as far as colour and style. It’s designed to accent all of the historical buildings we have downtown.”

The Downtown Streetscape Master Plan identifies key design consider-

ations such as: accessibility, sidewalks (new target of a preferred two-metre sidewalk width in the Raglan Street area and 1.5 metres elsewhere in study area); parking (no net change to available on or off street parking however larger 2.7 metre by seven metre spaces); street trees (community feedback expressed strong desire to increase the amount of green space downtown and the proposal is trees will be placed in dedicated boulevard space); vegetation and street furniture/signage.

A number of questions focused on the construction impact on local businesses. Asselin assured business owners the town is committed to work with them to mitigate the impact.

“We are going to be doing everything we can to try to maintain parking and access into our downtown,” said Asselin.

The town is now moving to the design phase and Asselin says some of the ideas they are looking at include parking on both sides of Argyle Street, minimizing the amount of traffic on side streets and maximizing the parking on those streets. Feedback for the project is still welcomed and the town is hoping to have all comments received by May 5. A copy of the report is available for viewing at the department of development and works and all of the boards and comment sheets are in the town hall lobby.

Two thefts at Renfrew businesses: OPP Two adults are facing charges after stealing items from No Frills in Renfrew on Friday, April 19. Police responded to the store when store security attempted to stop two people outside the store after they failed to pay for merchandise. The female suspect ran away, while the male suspect pulled a spray can of some type and threatened the store security with it.

The male suspect handed over the stolen property and fled the scene in a vehicle. Police located and arrested the female suspect at a residence in Renfrew, while the male suspect was stopped and arrested on April 22 in

Pembroke. A 32-year-old Pembroke woman was charged with theft under $5,000 and failing to comply with a probation order. She was released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew on June 14. A 36-year-old Pembroke man was charged with theft under $5,000, assault with a weapon and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. He was held in custody for a bail hearing. Const. Amanda Carruthers led the investigation.

On Saturday, April 22 at approximately 1:40 p.m. Renfrew OPP officers responded to a theft from the Home Hardware in Renfrew. A fe-

male had attempted to steal property and fled the store. A description of the female and vehicle was obtained and officers located the vehicle outside the No Frills store. The suspect was located at No Frills and arrested for theft.

A search of her resulted in the seizure of other stolen items from No Frills and Scott’s Shoe Store. A 35-year-old woman from Laurentian Valley Township was charged with three counts of theft under $5,000 and two counts of possession of stolen property under $5,000. She was held for a bail hearing on April 23. Const. Kyle Mask led the investigation.

Safety n Your S zzle Few things can match the fun and enjoyment of a barbecue with family and friends. Practice sensible, safe barbecuing and your spring/summer get-togethers will be a sizzling success.

Season Opener At the start of the BBQ season, do this three-step safety check of your BBQ: 1. Clean: Use a pipe cleaner or wire to ensure burner ports are free of rust, dirt, spider webs or other debris.

2. C eck: Examine the hose leading from the tank to the burners. Replace if cracked or damaged.

3. Test: Find leaks by applying a 50/50 solution of water and dish soap to propane cylinder connections and hoses.

If bubbles appear, tighten the connection and/or replace the damaged parts and retest.

Light It Right Take these steps in the right order when igniting a BBQ: 1. Open the hood.

2. Turn gas release valve on tank.

3. Turn on grill controls or heat settings.

4. Take a step back.

5. Push the igniter button. If there is no igniter button, insert a long match or BBQ lighter through the side burner hole first, then turn on the heat control knob. If the burner does not ignite right away, turn the gas off and wait five minutes, keeping the hood open, before repeating the procedure.

Keep It Safe Barbecues are approved for outdoor use only. They emit carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that can lead to unconsciousness and even death, which means never barbecue in a garage, tent or other enclosed space.

Propane cylinders must not be used or stored inside any structure.

Do’s and Don’ts for Handling a BBQ DO...

• Keep loose clothing away from a hot barbecue.

• Keep children and pets at a safe distance.

• Turn gas valve off first when finished, then turn off the burner controls, so no gas is left in the connecting hose.

• Allow the BBQ to cool completely before closing the cover.

DO NOT...

• Don’t leave the BBQ unattended when in use.

• Don’t allow grease to build up on the burners or at the base of the barbecue, as this could cause a grease fire • Don’t throw water on a grease fire – this will only spread the flame.

• Don’t position your barbecue too close to wooden fences or walls. Make sure the area behind your BBQ is free of combustible material, since this is where hot gases escape.

Town receives ‘good model’ to attract new residents TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com

Renfrew needs to attract more young families to town.

That was the message council heard from the Queen’s Business Consulting (QBC) team on April 11.

“Young families are a large segment, but if you can attract them into the community not only does it provide life and bring children into schools, families will also give over $80,000 into a community over a year,” said Taryn Mason, one of the students who worked on the project. “That’s a very sizable amount of money, and if you multiply that by a large number of families you are looking at a huge investment into the community.”

QBC has been in business for 40 years and uses the expertise of professional business students from Queen’s University to tackle projects giving them real world experiences.

The Analysis of Best Practices and Suggestions on Attracting New Residents cost the town $5,000, and Reeve Peter Emon, who was acting mayor at the meeting as Don Eady was away, was impressed with the presentation.

He says there have been many discussions over the years on how to attract new residents but they needed something more.

“We needed to be able to conceptualize that in a document so we could get some partners to buy in and then start to figure out what market we wanted to target,” said Emon.

With this new study, they are hoping other community stakeholders will buy into different sections of it and partner with the town.

“We think it is a really good model. We got good information, we know what we want to attract and what we want to target and what the end rewards are,” said Emon.

“Too often, the municipal sector does not have plans that are that detailed with predictable results, so this is a very good document for us to use.”

The study looked at three key issues before they reached the conclusion of needing more families: aging population, youth-out

Students from Queen’s Business Consulting Meihur Shenli, Michael Nguyen, Yuichiro Fukasu and Taryn Mason present to council on April 11 on how to attract more people, especially young families, to Renfrew, . migration, and low rates of migration to Renfrew.

The problem the study looked to solve was: The Town of Renfrew needs to attract new residents to increase economic development in the community and balance the changing local demographics.

In their competitor overview they noted that Renfrew has a lower cost of living than Petawawa, Pembroke and Ottawa, but those locations can seem more attractive.

They determined a young family has three phases when deciding to move and that Renfrew should target the second phase: the selection of a new destination.

To do this, the family needs to be aware of Renfrew, have an interest in the town (including it on their short list) and a desire/emotional investment in the town.

The presentation broke the ‘Resident Attraction Marketing Plan’ into shortand long-term ideas.

“The most important thing (short term) is really increasing that awareness.

As soon as people know about the town of Renfrew they are going to want to know more,” said Mason.

“It has so much to offer, so it’s really just increasing the awareness through social media, advertising and things like that.”

As for long-term, the top item on her list was to focus on job creation strategies, specifically for youth.

Some of the other ideas included the creation of an app, success stories (similar to the People of New York Facebook campaign), partnerships with local businesses and a welcome committee.

There are thousands of volunteers who make a difference in Renfrew and the surrounding area, from sports coaches to drivers taking people to appointments to neighbours shovelling an elderly person’s driveway.

Recognizing volunteers is often a tough job because they humbly go about their task without ever wanting to be acknowledged.

One organization that runs with the support of its volunteers is Hospice Renfrew and last year volunteers put in 7,000 hours to the vital community resource.

Judy Cobus, manager of volunteer and community development services at Hospice Renfrew says people volunteer there for a number of reasons: being part of a compassionate community, lessening the burden for someone else and being part of a team.

“Certainly, without our volunteers, who are the backbone of hospice, we could not remain open to provide the services that we currently do and free

Hospice Renfrew volunteer Cathy Dick encourages people to come out to the annual Hike for Hospice on May 7 at Ma-te-Way Park. Right: Mike Noon says everyone needs to volunteer. of charge,” said Cobus.

Mike Noon has been volunteering at the hospice for six years. He puts out seed, donated by Barclay Dick, to feed the outside creatures.

His hard work attracts a number of different species: blue jays, nuthatches, chickadees, mourning doves, deer and more.

“Residents like it and families who have folks at hospice like it. People come and tell me how much they like it,” said Noon.

He knows that sadly people come to hospice for one reason and that the animals bring those residents something special.

STOP URGENT WASTING NOTICE YOUR MONEY! IF:

“The deer are really a wonderful treat to sit and watch,” said Noon.

“I don’t know anyone who watches a deer who is not at peace. They make you feel good, at the end of one’s life it is a nice thing to be able to provide.”

As to how often he feeds them?

“Well, the creatures eat every day!” said Noon. “Especially the deer, if you miss they will stop coming.”

Cobus says Noon is passionate about looking after the outside of hospice and that people look forward to him coming every day.

“It adds to the setting of hospice to be able to see the wildlife, each room has a view of our gardens and

the bird feeders, so this is something families certainly enjoy as well as our residents,” said Cobus.

He started there after seeing an advertisement for volunteers.

“One needs to volunteer,” said Noon. “We need to do things to make our community better. Those who are able to volunteer, we have a debt to society to pay back. We have a bit of a social obligation, it’s really healthy to volunteer and it makes you feel good.”

Cathy Dick has been volunteering at the hospice for almost a year on the resident family support team as a front-line volunteer. She interacts with residents and families, providing support.

She supports them any way she can by offering them a snack or a drink.

“Basically, anything they like,” said Dick. “Lately I have been doing a lot of listening, the staff are excellent but they are very busy.”

Cobus describes her as someone with a can-do attitude.

“She goes above and beyond to make sure people are comfortable and always looks to reduce the burden of someone else,” said Cobus. “She is a friendly face always with a smile.”

Her mother Connie passed away in 2014 after spending three months at Hospice.

“At Hospice, we knew she was safe and well cared for, I got to see firsthand having a loved one here,” said

Dick. “The care they provided for mom was outstanding and I wanted to pay it forward.”

While visiting she was able to see the volunteers in action.

“I saw the role of the volunteers at hospice and I thought I could do this and I just wanted to help anyway I could,” said Dick. “It’s a privilege to come here because it’s such a vulnerable time, just to go into a room and offer coffee/tea/treats, those are the little things and I know first-hand, it gives them a chance to sit and relax.”

Hike May 7 The upcoming Hike for Hospice is their largest fundraiser and Cobus says the community is fortunate to have Hospice Renfrew. she encourages people to get involved in the event where the funds raised stay local.

“For those people who are unable to volunteer weekly this is an opportunity to give back at an awesome day,” said Cobus.

This is the third-year Dick’s family is putting a team into the annual Hike for Hospice on May 7, at Ma-TeWay Park, called Connie’s Crew and she knows this is a vital fundraiser for hospice.“The money raised is important but hospice brings the community together you have to experience it,” said Dick.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Hats off to volunteers Travel anywhere in the Ottawa Valley and you are sure to be touched by a volunteer.

National Volunteer Week runs from April 23 to 29 and it is a chance to thank and recognize Canada’s 12.7 million volunteers for the difference they make in their communities.

Arnprior’s volunteer of the year Renee Stewart was recently honoured for her hard work and dedication over the years.

She has volunteered with numerous organizations such as Special Olympics, Girl Guides and the annual Caitlin Stewart Memorial dance competition.

At Hospice Renfrew, which serves the entire Renfrew County, volunteers contributed more than 7,000 hours back into the vital institution last year.

An organization like this could not run without the support of volunteers.

Volunteers are the silent majority behind any successful event. Without their hard work, many necessary programs in the community would cease

to exist.

It can be hard to give of oneself and the greatest gift these individuals give is time.

These vital community members continuously put the community first.

As Hospice Renfrew volunteer Mike Noon says “One needs to volunteer...to make our community a better place.”

He challenges people to volunteer as we “have a debt to society to pay back...and it makes you feel good.”

As some sports/Cubs/Guides season come to an end and others get going, it is important to recognize the impact these volunteers have on the lives of our youth.

They are instilling values that will last a lifetime.

Volunteers do not do what they do to be recognized, they do it out of the goodness of their hearts.

Yes, fancy awards and galas are always nice.

But really, in the end, what makes a huge difference in the lives of a volunteer are two simple words: Thank you.

From the Renfrew Archives: Moss & Sons Tinsmiths Harry N. Moss for many years ran this tinsmithing business, Moss & Son, Tinsmiths, at the corner of Raglan and Patrick Streets.

He came to Renfrew as a young man and a few years later, in 1887, opened his own store. In 1906 he took his son Herbert into partnership.

Along with the stove and furnace business they also bought hides, wool and tallow.

Harry Moss was active in politics both municipally and provincially. For many years he was a member of Renfrew council and for three terms - 1900, in 1918 and again in 1920 - he was mayor of the town.

In provincial politics he was prominent as a Conservative. In 1902 at the general election for the Legislature he was the Conservative candidate but he was defeated by the Liberal, F R Latchford, by 874 votes.

Yet he had no reason to feel discouraged because South Renfrew had long been a Liberal stronghold and only once up to that time, and that back in 1871, had the riding elected a Conservative to the provincial Legislature.

GRAND ROUNDS Auxiliary makes another big donation at annual luncheon Yummy treats, tickets and unique gift shop merchandise sales add up to another hugely successful year for the talented ladies of the RVH Auxiliary.

As promised, the dedicated volunteers who make up the Auxiliary presented the second installment of their $250,000 pledge to the hospital towards the beautiful new rooftop solarium named in their honour.

The funds were presented to RVH President and CEO Randy Penney at the Annual Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon.

“It’s one thing for staff and physicians to provide great care, but I can tell you that your contributions make all of the difference in the world

in the care of our clients,” stated Penney to everyone in attendance at the annual Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon held on April 20.

Many of those wonderful volunteers are members of the Auxiliary, who raised $54,500 towards their goal for the RVH Auxiliary Solarium.

“Our members have worked very hard and we would like to thank ever yone who has helped and supported us in our fundraising efforts,” says Shauna Lemenchick, President of the Auxiliary.

Sales from the HELPP break open lottery tickets sold at Aikenheads brought in $12,000; the Gift Shop raised $20,000;

proceeds from the general fund (from their bake sales, tourtieres) totalled $13,249; plus the $8,751 already donated from the Wheelbarrows of Cheer raffle and another $500 donation.

“We have such a great Auxiliary at the Renfrew hospital. Thank you,” Penney said as he accepted the funds on behalf of the hospital.

Lemenchick reminds everyone to keep an eye out for the RVH Auxiliary in community with more delicious baked goods and special event tickets: “This year we will again be holding our Canada Day and Thanksgiving bake sales, the frozen berry and tourtiere sales, and we are in the midst of planning our popular Christmas House Tour for the end of November.”

RVH Women’s Auxiliary President Shauna Lemenchick (left), along with executive members Dodie Bailey, Doris Handford and Nell Lansbergen, present an installment towards their $250,000 commitment to the second floor solarium to Randy Penney, RVH President and CEO, at the annual RVH Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon on April 20.

Renfrew County Agricultural Wall of Fame honours inductees CONNIE TABBERT Courtesy of Whitewater News

Five farmers were inducted into the Renfrew County Agricultural Wall of Fame on March 24 at the Renfrew Armouries.

Allan James of Foresters Falls, Welland and Margaret Crozier of Cobden and Lynn and Ian Clelland of Admaston-Bromley Township were each presented with a Certificate of Recognition. A photo of each of them will be placed on the Renfrew County Agricultural Wall of Fame in the Galbraith Room at the Renfrew Armouries.

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP John Yakabuski, who was the MC for the evening, acknowledged he has learned more about farming since elected to the House of Commons in 2003.

Allan James was nominated by the Soil and Crop Association and Larry Reaburn had the honour of introducing this longtime, well-known farmer to the audience.

When James was 13, his father broke his back and it was at that time that he went into full time farming, milking Holstein cows and looking after chickens. The family churned cream and sold eggs and firewood in Carleton Place. He was involved in 4-H and Junior Farmers “and somewhere along the line met Thelma Thompson. They were married in 1956.” They knew the family farm could not support two families so began searching for their own property.

“After much looking and deliberation, they decided on 158 acres at the end of Queens Line and Foresters Falls Road, where they still reside today,” Reaburn said.

Those who know James, know that sleeping was not a priority. He thought nothing of getting up early in the morning to plant a field of corn before chores or going out at 9 or 10 at night to knock off a few more acres of plowing, Reaburn said.

The James were blessed with a little girl named Glenda, and as the decades went by she grew, as did the farm.

“But now, they have a dashing young Scottish piper on their doorstep and what are they going to do with him,” he quipped. Rob McKenzie and Glenda did marry and have two children, Emily and Wes, who are now both on their own.

For those who worked at the James farm, the noonhour meal was prepared by Thelma.

“Word on the street, and Thelma may not know this, was that if you worked at the James farm, Thelma put up the best meals in town,” Reaburn said.

He spoke about James supplying land for plots of corn trials for Agriculture Canada and Kemptville College and travelling to Kentucky for the farm show.

The James hosted Renfrew County Hay Day in 1991 and in 2006 the Renfrew County Plowing Match.

In 1997 Allan started up the Antique Tractor Square Dance. He drew from his own large collection of antique tractors and with help from neighbours and friends performed up and down the valley and at least at two international plowing matches.

“Sixty years have gone by on that Renfrew County farm and now Rob and Glenda do most of the farm work and milk Holstein cows in that once new barn,” said Reaburn.

The farm has grown to 700 acres, with 200 acres rented.

“Allan is a very special one-of-a-kind individual and is well deserved to be inducted into the Renfrew County Wall of Fame,” Reaburn said.

Yakabuski then presented James with a Certificate of Recognition from himself and another from MP Cheryl Gallant, who was not able to attend the evening event.

This is prestigious recognition for the many contributions James has made to the agricultural community and this community, Yakabuski said. He presented each inductee with these certificates.

Whitewater Region Mayor Hal Johnson said, “This is quite an honour for me to be able to congratulate you Allan.

Welland and Margaret Crozier Myles England of the Renfrew County Plowmen’s As-

CONNIE TABBERT/Courtesy of Whitewater News

Welland and Margaret Crozier of Cobden, Allan James of Foresters Falls, and Ian and Lynn Clelland of Admaston-Bromley Township were recently inducted into the Renfrew County Agricultural Wall of Fame. sociation spoke about Welland and Margaret Crozier.

Welland was born and raised in Admaston Township, was involved in 4-H and then the junior farmers, taking on the role of president for a couple of years.

Margaret grew up in Calgary and heard all bout Welland through his brother-in-law, who worked in the same office as she did.

“Welland’s brother-in-law told Margaret all the good things about Renfrew County and Welland’s farm,” England said.

In April 1974, Margaret came to farm and liked what she saw, as well as who she saw, England said. The couple married and raised two children.

They were both members of the Northcote Community Association. Welland was also a member of the Renfrew Fair board, Holstein club, and an Ontario Federation of Agriculture director, is a life member of the soil and crop association as well as the Renfrew County Cattlemen’s.

In 1989, the couple hosted the Renfrew County Plowing Match. Welland still remembers when he helped stake out the official plowing plots for the 1994 International Plowing Match, which was held in Renfrew County that year.

“He said they staked over 1,000 acres for the plowing at the match and he walked for days,” England said, bringing laughter from the crowd.

Margaret was a 4-H leader for five years, is a life member of Renfrew County Plowmen and was the secretary/ treasurer for six years. She is also a life member of Trinity United Church UCW and has helped with the Renfrew Fair displays for 10 years.

They were in three areas of farming: dairy, beef and then cash crop.

“They were always steady and dedicated volunteers,” England said. “The Renfrew County Plowmen’s is honoured to have me present Welland and Margaret Crozier with this certificate.”

Although new to Cobden, which is in Whitewater Region, Mayor Johnson presented them with a certificate on behalf of the township. He congratulated them for their many contributions to agriculture and welcomed them to Whitewater Region.

Admaston/Bromley Mayor Michael Donohue added, “I want to acknowledge the past residents of Admaston/ Bromley. We very much miss them in the community, as they have unfortunately seen fit to migrate to Whitewater.

It is their gain in Whitewater.”

Welland said, “Thank you very much for the evening.

We thank the plowmen’s association for the nomination.”

Clelland joins father on agricultural wall of fame Continued from page 11

Erica Rice spoke about Lynn and Ian Clelland, noting they were nominated by the Renfrew County 4-H Association and the South District Women’s Institute.

Lynn grew up on one of the original Campbell farms in Admaston. Ian was born in Pembroke, but grew up in Brampton where his family moved.

He would return to the area each summer to visit his grandparents in Eganville. The couple both attended the University of Guelph, but did not meet each other until they were guests at the same wedding in the valley.

“She asked him to be her partner in a square dance and a year and a week later they were married,” noted Rice.

In 1984, they purchased a Campbell farm, starting with the beef cows that came with the farm.

Over the years, they were involved in various organizations, separate and as a couple, in the Cattlemen’s Association, Renfrew County 4-H, Grace United Church, Admaston and Area Foodgrains projects, Balsam Hill Women’s Institute, Renfrew Fair

HOT DEAL

Board, and the Renfrew County Farm Safety Association.

Lynn recently completed her 35th year as a leader with the Renfrew County 4-H. The Clellands were both leaders, leading such clubs as field crop, beef calf, life skills, square dance and many more.

Lynn has been director, president and treasurer of the Renfrew County 4-H as well as working at the provincial level. She received the 4-H Ontario Syngenta Arbour award.

Lynn is currently president of the Balsam Hill Women’s Institute and is on the executive of the District WI. One of her favourite projects was, with the community’s help and a Trillium grant, the local SS No. 2 schoolhouse. It was refurbished to become a living museum, where students can come for a day to be a student of the late 1800s.

In 2014, the Renfrew County Soil and Crop Association recognized Lynn with an Award of Merit for her work with the Renfrew County Farm Safety Association.

“Lynn considers this a very impor-

tant organization as the safety of our farmers and their families is vital,” Rice said.

Ian is a retired research chemist with the Canadian government and Lynn worked as a Home Economist with OMAFRA and retired after teaching at Fellowes High School and Renfrew Collegiate.

Admaston/Bromley Township Mayor Donohue said: “I give enormous thanks to Lynn and Ian. They are the members of the community that make my job fairly simple. “As a matter of fact, without Lynn and Ian, I’m not sure anything would get done,” he added.

Donohue noted Lynn has now taken the lead role in the municipality’s celebration of the 150th birthday of Canada. “I extend enormous gratitude on behalf of council and the citizenry of Admaston-Bromley, because truly, without Lynn and Ian, and those much like them, there is no community,” he said, adding, Lynn said it’s a great honour to be nominated for something like this by the people you have grown up with, people you volunteer with and people

you work with on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.

“Renfrew County is a place that gets things done and I think a prime example of that was the 1994 International Plowing Match,” she said, adding, “It was the best one ever and it was held in Renfrew County.”

The longevity of the local fairs and various organizations shows that people in Renfrew County are proud of their roots and their communities.

Lynn said even though she went away to university, she always knew she would come back to Admaston and settle down.

“I was lucky I found somebody who’d like to come with me and it’s been an honour, it’s been a privilege, to be a part of all the things going on in the vital community throughout Renfrew County and an incredible honour to follow in the large footsteps that are up on the wall in the Galbraith Room,” Lynn said.

Choking up a little bit, Lynn said it’s also a special night for her because her father is also a member of the Renfrew County Agricultural Wall of Fame.

National Day of Mourning to be marked in Renfrew on April 28 The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) reminds us that the National Day of Mourning, April 28, is not only a day to remember and honour those lives lost or injured due to a workplace tragedy, but also a day to renew the commitment to improve health and safety in the workplace and prevent further injuries, illnesses and deaths.

The Renfrew and District Labour Council will be holding a service on Friday, April 28 at 12:15 p.m. at O’Brien Park.

For more Information contact Marian Fraser at 613-432-6528.

On April 28, Canadian flags on Parliament Hill and in federal government buildings will fly at half-mast to honour the workers whose lives have been lost, who have been injured or disabled on the job, or who suffer from occupational disease.

Employers and workers will observe the National Day of Mourning in a variety of ways.

Some will attend ceremonies, light candles, lay wreaths, wear commemorative pins, ribbons or black armbands, and pause for a moment of silence at 11 a.m.

“When we hear news of a worker falling to their death or dying from a work-related cancer — it reminds us that behind every statistic there is a person with a family and coworkers who belongs to a community.

The suffering of every work-related tragedy

extends beyond the worker and impacts us all,” said Gareth Jones, president and chief executive officer, Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety.

“And it is for this very reason that on this national day of remembrance we turn our attention to creating healthier, safer workplaces, and preventing further tragedies. Because one is one too many.”

More information about the National Day of Mourning, including free resources to help promote awareness in the workplace of this important day, can be found on the CCOHS website: ccohs.ca.

bour Congress, Parliament passed the Workers Mourning Day Act making April 28 an official Day of Mourning.

• The Day of Mourning has since spread to about 100 countries around the world and is

OPEN HOUSE GUIDE

QUICK FACTS

• In 2015, 852 workplace fatalities were recorded in Canada — including the deaths of four young workers aged 15 to 19 years; and another 11 workers aged 20 to 24 years.

• Add to these fatalities the 232,629 claims accepted for lost time due to a work-related injury or disease, including 8,155 from young workers aged 15 to 19, and the fact that these statistics only include what is reported and accepted by the compensation boards, and it is safe to say that the total number of workers impacted is even higher.

Renfrew Collegiate Intermediate School has two teams that have qualified for Destination Imagination Global Finals in Tennessee. The teams are actively fundraising to get to Knoxville. From left, in front are: Cassidy Friske, Mallory Delarge, Carson Lefebvre, Hannah Hubert and back row: Kenya Stevenson, Olivia Smart, Alex Wroe, Malorey Lambert and Jon Roach. Missing from picture is Chris Cayen.

Renfrew students Tennesee-bound for Destination Imagination Ten Renfrew Collegiate Intermediate School Grade 8 students will be proudly representing their school May 24-27 at Global Finals in Knoxville, Tenn.

The students all participate in a competitive program called Destination Imagination (DI).

DI challenges students to use their imagination, creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration skills to solve problems that are presented to them.

The DI program promotes STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) activities with an eye to developing students into productive 21st-century citizens.

Teams of students must solve one team challenge, which takes months to prepare, as well as solve instant challenges in which they are given 5 minutes and limited materials to quickly generate a solution to a problem.

The students must do this without assistance from anyone other than team members, including adults.

Three RCIS teams, supported by team managers Jayne Stevenson and Anne Lefebvre, competed in Regionals in Stittsville March 4, and all three came away with first-place finishes, which earned them a spot to compete in Toronto at Destination Imagination Provincials April 2.

DI of the Tiger (Mallory Delarge, Cassidy Friske, Malorey Lambert, Jon Roach and Chris Cayen) completed the Service Learning Challenge.

They held a bake sale to raise money for the homeless shelter Shepherds of Good Hope, and presented a fable about what they learned about helping others in the process.

Five Tones of Creativity (Olivia Smart, Hannah Hubert, Kenya Ste-

venson, Carson Lefebvre and Alex Wroe) completed the Fine Arts challenge.

Their skit tackled the issue of clearcutting in the Amazon rainforest by imagining a world in which the colour green disappeared, complete with technical effects.

DI-Namite (Luke Steele, Gabby Cayen, Hope Simons, Sam Buxton and Will Howard) completed the Engineering challenge, building a balsa wood structure that held over 300 pounds while presenting a play about two countries working together.

In Toronto, DI of the Tiger earned gold while Five Tones of Creativity snagged silver, allowing both teams the opportunity to travel to the Global Finals in Knoxville.

The students are now raising money for their trip to Knoxville, including lodging, food and flight expenses.

Look for them outside of Walmart for their DI Tag Days April 29 and 30.

They’ll tell you all about DI! On May 6, the students will be manning tables at the Great Downtown Garage sale in Renfrew. Baked goods and good quality used items will be available.

Finally, if you would like to support the students from the comfort of your couch, you can visit rcdsb. schoolcashonline.com.

Select “ITEMS” then scroll down until you see “RCIS Donation – Destination Imagination” and follow the instructions. The students very much appreciate the support of their community in helping them on this lifechanging journey!

Actors sought for new Valley musical A new musical drama, about an Ottawa Valley boy who went on to build one of the world’s great railways, needs actors for its première production this fall.

Auditions are being held next week for Stonecliff, the story of Michael J. Heney, born in 1864 to Irish immigrants in the upper Valley village of Stonecliffe, who ran away to work on the CPR when he was only 14, and is most famous for building the White Pass and Yukon Railway in Alaska and the Yukon, during the Klondike Gold Rush. The play is written and directed by Cobden resident Conrad Boyce, with music by Yukon composer Matthew Lien.

“It’s an exciting Canadian story,” says Boyce. The 45 roles in the play will be taken by just 11 actors: nine men of varying ages, a boy aged 12-14, and a woman aged 2540. All need to be strong singers.

The production will première in Stonecliffe on Oct. 18, then tour to Deep River on Oct. 20-21, Ottawa Oct. 27-29, and Pembroke Oct. 31-Nov. 2. Each actor in the company will receive an honorarium to cover the travel expenses for rehearsals and performances.

Auditions will be held at Cobden’s Whitewater Wesleyan Community Church, on Cedar Haven Park Road just off Forester’s Falls Road, next Tuesday and Wednesday, May 2 and 3, at 7 p.m. Auditioners should prepare, and bring sheet music for, a Broadway or folk song, and will be asked to read from the script.

For more information, or a copy of the script, please contact Conrad Boyce at conradboyce@powergate.ca, or call 613-646-2506.

Renfrew Home Support celebrates volunteers KARRY FORTIN Renfrew and Area Senior’s Home Support

April is National Volunteer Month. From April 23 to April 29, we will honour the people who dedicate themselves to taking action and helping to solve problems in their communities. Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support is celebrating 30 years as a nonprofit agency in the Town of Renfrew, providing services to seniors and adults with disabilities in our community. Volunteers play a pivotal and critical role in the delivery of our services. Because of the invaluable contributions from volunteers to our operation, we have been able to expand our services and deliver more programs and support within our community. These amazing individuals donate their time, talents and knowledge with a generosity of heart that shines through in the work they do. Our volunteers are on the front line of delivering services to a vulnerable population that improves their lives and

allows them to remain in their homes and communities longer.

Our volunteers come from Renfrew, Horton, Admaston/Bromley, Greater Madawaska, Whitewater and McNab/Braeside. They are drivers, friendly visitors, income tax volunteers, fundraisers, board members, office volunteers, and all around great people.

Our volunteer drivers provided 288 people with 1,292 return nonurgent medical trips, driving 161,887.5 kilometres to do so. Our 39 fundraising volunteers donated 376 hours to help raise crucial funds for the delivery of our services. The nine income tax volunteers spent 526 hours preparing and filing returns.

Friendly visitors and telephone assurance volunteers provided needed support to 36 individuals, reducing social isolation with 1,797 visits or phone calls.

Other volunteers delivered 2,689 frozen meals to 45 individuals and provided countless grocery deliveries. Our 10 board members donated 151.5 hours to provide leader-

ship and governance to our agency.

Volunteers make extraordinary sacrifices, devoting themselves to causes bigger than themselves and contributing to our community’s progress. Thank you Renfrew Seniors’ Home Support volunteers … for 30 years of helping us to help others.

On May 26, Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support will be hosting our fourth annual Drive for Drives Charity Golf Tournament, in support of our nonurgent medical transportation program.

We welcome new and returning teams and sponsors. As an agency only partially funded by the LHIN, our annual golf event helps us meet our fundraising goals on an ongoing basis. We would love to see you on the course.

If you would like any further information about any of our services, volunteer opportunities or golf tournament, call the office at 613-432-7691 or check us out online at www. renfrewhomesupport.com.

Three Renfrew high school hockey players drafted into CCHL2 TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com

The smiles on the faces of three aspiring hockey stars say it all.

After much hard work and determination, the local players have achieved the next step to further their dreams.

Braeside’s Nolan McGregor, Arnprior’s Cohen Dunn and Douglas’ Brayden Dellaire were all drafted at the Central Canada Tier 2 Hockey league bantam draft on April 10.

The three were also in the fifth season of the Hockey Canada Skills Academy at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School in Renfrew.

Stacey McGregor, who coached the trio on the varsity hockey team and the hockey academy, is very happy with them.

“I think, overall, we are proud of any student when they achieve success,” said Stacey. “They have put in so much hard work and it is nice to see it pay off.”

The hockey academy gives them the opportunity to set goals on what they want to improve on.

“The program is curtailed to the students, it is really tailored to the needs of the students each year.”

McGregor The Carleton Place Canadians drafted Nolan McGregor, Stacey’s son, who played last season with the Ottawa Valley Titans Major Bantam team, in the fifth round, 42nd overall.

“It’s an honour. They are a good organization and known to be a very good team,” said Nolan.

Stacey too speaks highly of the leftwinger.

“He has a very high hockey IQ and sees the ice very well. He handles the puck confidently and is able to score big goals,” said Stacey.

With the Titans, in 30 games he scored seven goals and had 18 assists.

Going into the draft he was confidant about his future.

“I figured I would get drafted, I just

Three St. Joseph’s High School students were recently drafted into the Central Canada Tier 2 Hockey league: Nolan McGregor, second from left, Cohen Dunn and Brayden Dellaire, pictured with the draftees on the far left is varsity hockey coach Stacey McGregor. didn’t know when and what team,” said Nolan. “I was excited to go to Carleton Place.”

He has already had one practice with the other draftees and a team meeting.

He was at the draft and found the moment he was drafted indescribable.

“It’s so hard to describe. It’s a good feeling that someone wants you,” said Nolan, who has been playing hockey since he was five and knows what he has to do to make the team.

“A good off-season and I need to train hard and get stronger.”

Nolan will follow an off ice-conditioning plan from the Titans training staff.

As to the hockey academy.

“I loved it, I liked it all.”

Dunn The Kanata Blazers drafted Dunn in the sixth round, 58th overall.

“I am very happy that Kanata drafted me and I am very excited to try out for them.”

Last season, with the Upper Ottawa Valley Aces Major Bantam team, the left-winger was the top pointgetter with 25 points, after 26 games, including 11 goals and 14 assists.

He knows Kanata has a great organization. Their head coach was just named the coach of the year.

“They were able to develop (Cobden’s) Jack Quinn, who was just drafted to the (Ontario Hockey League),” said Dunn. “I’ve heard great things about the organization and the coach.”

Dunn started playing later than the others in second year novice.

The coach praises Dunn’s on-ice presence.

“He’s a power-forward with a great work ethic,” said Stacey. “He is strong on the puck and is determined to improve his skill.”

As to what he needs to do to earn a spot on the Blazers lineup: “I’m going to have to show them what I excel at, work hard and show them what I did at the evaluation camps,” said Dunn.

Although he did not attend the draft, it was a pretty special moment when he received the phone call informing him was drafted.

“I was pretty excited,” said Dunn.

“I feel like I worked very hard for a

number of years and to finally get that call, it was very exciting.”

Dunn says the hockey academy helped him develop his skills tremendously, especially stick handing and skating.

“We worked on stickhandling every single day, so that helped. And quick feet/edge work (skating).”

Dellaire The Pembroke Lumber Kings selected Dellaire in the eighth round, 86th overall. Dellaire also played with the Aces last season and the rightwinger had nine goals and 11 assists.

Dellaire was unable to make the draft and also received a pivotal call.

“I didn’t think I would get drafted,” said Dellaire. “I’m really excited and my parents are excited, too.”

When he got the call he was filled with emotions.

“It made me feel really good, because I wasn’t expecting it. I was really happy.”

His coach also spoke very highly of Dellaire.

“He is a rugged winger who is not afraid to battle for the puck,” said Stacey. “He has the size and a strong skill set with a hard shot.”

Dellaire has been playing hockey since he was three. He says he will be training everyday this summer and will try and attend a number of hockey camps.

“They need a few players so maybe I will get a chance,” said Dellaire.

Dellaire says the hockey academy was very beneficial to his training.

“It helped a lot. We mostly worked on skating and puck control, that really helped me.”

All three students drafted are registered for the hockey academy for next year and registration is still open.

The hockey academy is entering its sixth season this fall and anyone entering Grade 9 or 10 at St. Joseph’s High School interested in the program should contact Jeff Halk: jaghockeyhcsa@gmail.com.

Renfrew Golf Club (RCG) opened for its 88th season on Thursday, April 20 with RGC member and former Renfrew mayor Bill Ringrose being the first to tee off.

RGC opens with all 18 greens in play and power carts allowed.

“Winter was very kind to us,” said Dave Wilson, RGC’s superintendent.

“We have lots of grass on all our greens and the warm rain we received really greened up our golf course.”

Early season rates are $33 plus tax for 18 holes with cart and $20 plus tax for 18 holes after 11 a.m.

“With Renfrew Golf Club opening in fantastic shape, we decided to offer a great green fee and cart rate to start the season.

We believe that anyone who plays RGC early this season will be very happy with the conditions (and the price) and there is a really good chance they will come back a few times this season,” noted Kevin Sebulski, RGC’s general manager.

New this year at RGC is the seven

Days of Savings program.

Last year’s very successful Sunday Golf, Cart, Burger and a Beer for $40 returns.

Monday is Seniors Day where anyone 55 years and older can play RGC for $36 (green fee and cart) plus tax.

Tuesday is Ladies Day, Wednesday is Reciprocal Day (just show us your membership card from another golf course), Thursday is Men’s Day and Friday is Armed Forces Friday.

All rates Monday to Friday are $36 plus tax, including cart. Armed Forces Day anyone presently or having served in our Armed Forces or anyone wearing red in support of our troops plays for $36, including cart.

And on Saturday’s, for those who like to walk while playing golf, RGC had 2-4-1 Saturday Afternoons where our green fee rate of $30 is divided by both players.

Beginning next week, we’ll have our weekly review and results of Ladies and Men’s days and our Ladies and Men’s Rec Leagues.

Calabogie Highlands Golf Resort opens for new season The Calabogie Highlands Golf Resort officially opened for play on April 14.

As expected, spring conditions dictated play with wet spots on some fairways. The greens wintered quite well and were cut ready to play.

The month of May will be quite busy, with the Women’s Opening on May 4, the Men’s Opening May 6, and the Mixed Opening on May 28.

The Monday Women’s Nine for Fun registration is May 29, with play starting June 8.

If you are looking to join a club with active golf programs and a lively social calendar, Calabogie Highlands is the place to be.

The 18-hole championship course is not without its challenges, but with four tee decks to choose from and a new blended “Red & White Course”, it provides enjoyment for all levels of play.

For more information, visit our website at www.calabogiehighlandsgolfresort.com or call the Proshop at 613-752-1234 x 4.

Ladies basketball heats up in week two action ROB WARREN

In ladies basketball, the Reunions were rejected often inside by Megan Riopelle.

They then went to the outside, where they were successful, and defeated the Basket Brawlers, 21-14.

Mae Donohue had a game high 10 points.

The Basket Brawlers scored six unanswered points to start the second half, and pulled to within 22-19 of Renfrew Optometrists.

The Optometrists then found another gear and went on to win the

game 36-23. Katie Dolan hit for 12 points.

The two halves were like two different ball games.

Midtown Flooring led the Renfrew Optometrists 17-12 at the half.

The basket seemed to shrink for Midtown and expand for the Optometrists in the second half.

The Optometrists out scored Midtown 18-8, including the last five points, to win 30-25.

The Optometrists were two of two from the free throw line while Midtown failed to connect on four attempts.

Renfrew churches host prayer services for palliative care

Submitted

Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Women’s League new executive

The new executive for 2017-18 for the Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Women’s League was installed recently with a prayer service and approximately 30 members present. Pictured above: Nancy Guyea, president; Chantal Marion, spiritual chair; Darlene Meleskie, past president/historian; Ella Box, organization; Berny Mortimer, secretary; Jessica Belanger, health/education; Darlene White and Irene Rekowski, community life; Lynda Coules, outgoing health/education; Father Ryan Holly, spiritual advisor; Maureen Brennan, legislation/resolutions; Cathy Thompson, outgoing treasurer; and Peggy Roy, treasurer. Missing from the photo are: Beth Marcella, Charlotte Cleroux and Pauline Hughes. The theme for the Catholic Women’s League for the next two years is “Inspired By The Spirit, Women Respond to God’s Call-Palliative and Hospice Care” which encourages members to continue to make our desire for ethical and excellent palliative and hospice care a priority and performing works of mercy in our daily lives.

The Catholic Women’s League of Canada (CWL), with more than 82,000 members across Canada, encourages all people of faith to join nationwide in 12 Hours of Prayer for Palliative Care on May 4.

This day is designed to lead into National Hospice Palliative Care Week, May 7 to 13, organized by the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association as a profound witness to the sanctity of human life.

St. Francis Xavier CWL council will hold their prayer service on May 4 from 2-3 p.m. at St. Francis Xavier Church, 331 Plaunt St. S. in Renfrew.

Our Lady of Fatima CWL council will hold their prayer service May 4 from 6-7 p.m. at our Our Lady of Fatima Church at 100 Lisgar Ave. “There is a pressing need for all Canadians to have greater accessibility to palliative care.

This end-of-life care is true compassion.

It allows individuals who are facing death to not be burdened by pain and suffering but to receive the necessary support that respects their human dignity both physically and spiritually,” says a recent press release.

Pope Francis emphasizes the need for prayer, mercy, reconciliation and compassion.

“Let us not underestimate the power of so many voices united in prayer!”

With one heart and voice, all people of faith are urged to focus on that power of prayer.

The Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association notes that: “Support for hospice palliative care is almost unanimous, with the vast majority of Canadians (96 per cent) being supportive, including 66 per cent who are very supportive.”

However, they also note that: “Only 19 per cent say it is available to those dying of life-threatening illnesses” and that “one-third of Canadians (34 per cent) are not sure to whom hospice palliative care services are available.” Canadians both want and need palliative care.

The Catholic Women’s League of Canada, founded in 1920, is one of the largest organizations of women in Canada, with more than 82,000 members represented in every province and territory and the military.

The Catholic Women’s League is organized and pledged to serve all citizens and has often received the commendation and keen appreciation of federal, provincial and municipal authorities for the voluntary services ably performed by its nation-wide membership.

IN MEMORIAM SHEAN In memory of Christopher Shean November 16, 1985 April 21, 2006 Today recalls the memory, Of a loved one gone to rest, And those who think of him today, Are those who loved him the best.

The flowers we lay upon his grave, May wither and decay, But the love for him who lies beneath, Will never fade away.

Love always, Mom and Earl

DEATH NOTICE

GEORGE EDWIN FREEMAN, NOVEMBER 12, 1921- APRIL 2, 2017 DOROTHY JUNE FREEMAN, APRIL 24, 1930 – APRIL 3, 2017 Our wonderful parents, George Edwin Freeman, and D. June Freeman (nee Maxwell) of Arnprior, Ontario, died within 36 hours of each other after almost 62 years of marriage, on April 2 and April 3 respectively, at ages 95 and 86. George, son of the late E.G.D. and the late Ada (nee Davis) Freeman was born in 1921 in Winnipeg. He was the brother of the late Jean Harvey (late Ian), John Freeman (late Marg and the late Barbara), the late Marjorie Cummings (late Webb), and Lois Wilson (late Roy). As navigator of a B25 Mitchell bomber based in Dunsfold, England, he and his crew carried out 51 missions during World War II. Subsequently, he lived in postwar London and Florence, Italy, with his first wife, Pat Larkin. On returning to Canada, he completed his master’s degree in economics at University of Toronto, and began his 35-year career at the Bank of Canada, where he met and married June. He rose through the ranks at the Bank to serve as chief of the Research Department and later as a deputy governor. He was also a commissioner on the Royal Commission on Prices and Incomes, and a professor emeritus in the Department of Economics at Queen’s University in Kingston. In 1980, he and June bought a farm near Arnprior, Ontario, and became sheep farmers.

June, daughter of the late Wallace A. and the late Dorothy (nee Betts) Maxwell, was born in Ottawa in 1930. She was sister of the late Wallace Jr. ( Brenda) and Penny Schafer (Fred), and sister-in-law of John Dobrowolski (Brenda). One of only five women graduates in the B. Com. program at McGill University in her year, she subsequently joined the Bank of Canada, where she met George. Married in 1955, George and June became parents of Victoria (Mark Fawcett), Martha (died 2002), Kate, and Eric (former partner Lisa Lamoureux), and eventually grandparents of Claire, Ariel, Michael, and Fiona as well as numerous grand-dogs. June was also president of the Natural Childbirth Association of Ottawa and was involved in the King’s Daughters Dinner Wagon, later Meals on Wheels (Ottawa), as well as the University Women’s Club (Arnprior); she served as treasurer for a number of other community organizations. She became an expert midwife, assisting at the births of many lambs at Yellowgrass Farm.

We wish to thank the many friends, neighbours, organizations, and businesses that helped make it possible for our parents to continue living in the community of Arnprior as they aged. These included CCAC, in particular Shalan Doxsee, Alida Tourian, and Linda Jamieson; the caring PSWs of St. Elizabeth Health Care, most recently Donna Langford and Anita McNulty; the staff of Island View Suites; and Veterans Affairs Canada.

In addition, we thank the fabulous folks at Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home, especially Nancy, Colin, Liz, and Lesley; our parents’ long-time family physicians, John Kiskis and Donna Vilis; and the skilled teams at Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital and Hospice Renfrew.

A visitation will be held Saturday, April 29 from 1 to 3pm at Island View Suites, 30 Jack Crescent, Arnprior, and our parents’ lives will be honoured and celebrated on their 62nd wedding anniversary, Sunday, April 30, at Kirkman House, 294 John St. N., Arnprior, from 2 to 4pm; all are welcome to attend. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the ALS Society, Alzheimer’s Society, Hospice Renfrew, Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home, or Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital. In the care of the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior.

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.

‘Beach Run,’ a 30” x 40” acrylic by Roy Brash.

Artists around town CHRIS MUSSETT

Renfrew Art Guild

Members of the Renfrew Art Guild enjoyed displaying their work at the home show April 21 and 22. It was a chance for the public to see what we do, experience our cultural contribution to the community, and perhaps to purchase a piece of work which they enjoyed.

This year will see more pop up art displays around town during the nice weather, as well as at our Canada 150 celebrations at Ma-Te-Way Park.

Our sixth Art In the Park is scheduled for the July 15 and 16 weekend at Haramis Park. This is an opportunity to see a varied selection of work from local artists and admission is free.

Our next meeting is Tuesday, May 2 at 7 p.m. and will feature guest speaker Roy Brash.

Eunice Cassanto practicing for the St. Joseph’s High School coffee house, which is coming up May 4.

YOUR CAREER

STARTS HERE

Roy is a Canadian contemporary visual artist, using mostly acrylics as a medium. A native of Pembroke, he now resides in Ottawa where he has a studio.

He grew up by the Ottawa River and his love of nature had a major impact on his art and his later depictions of animals, landscapes and water scenes. He is passionate about his art and gets fully immersed into the subject while painting. Roy believes that a painting should tell a story and provide interest to the viewer. He will be speaking about his techniques and influences and also the experience of the Ottawa art market.

This will be a very interesting evening.

Please join us at Trinity St. Andrew’s United Church, 291 Plaunt St. Please use the Quarry Avenue entrance. We welcome all newcomers.

The schedule at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School (SJHS) is filling up for the summer months. There are many activities in full swing, keeping us busy until the return of summer. Rehearsals for this year’s play are in full swing and we are anxiously waiting to see theSEARCH final result.

The SJHS student council is also working hard on many events coming up quickly, such as the spring spirit week and a giant garage sale on May 13. The garage sale will also be acting as a fundraiser for Renfrew Victoria Hospital and open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the SJHS gym.

Food and drinks will be available for purchase

thanks to the delicious catering of Backyard Gourmet! It is $10 to rent a table. If you are interested, please contact St. Joseph’s High School at 613-432-5846.

Elections for next year’s executive student council are also about to begin! There are many students interested, and we cannot wait to see what ideas and energy they bring to the table to help improve SJHS. The spring coffee house is also coming up on May 4. Come on out for 7 p.m. for a night full of talent and good food. There will be a $5 entry fee. Our performers are busy practicing and cannot wait to showcase their talents.

Potatoes were a staple in surviving lean Depression years MARY COOK Memories

We never seemed to run out of potatoes. Bags of them sat in the dugout cellar under the house, and they appeared on the table for just about every meal. And that included the pan of fried potatoes and onions Father had to have for breakfast.

Several of those bags were not going to see our table, though ... at least, not yet. Once it was warm enough, Father dragged a few bags out of the cellar and spread the potatoes out on newspapers on the summer-kitchen floor. This was an after-supper chore, and it only happened once a year.

This was not a time to sit idly in the rocking chair and light his pipe, as he liked to do after his evening meal. No, every spare minute he had, he would sit on the low stool and with a couple of empty pails beside him begin the ritual that would make sure we had enough potatoes to last us through the next winter.

With the longer evenings of spring upon us, there was no need to light the lantern for the job at hand. With the summerkitchen door wide open, he would reach down and grab one potato at a time, and turn it over in his hand, examin-

ing it closely. And then, with the paring knife he had sharpened on the whit stone before, he would quarter the potatoes just so. They had to be done in a certain way, which meant the job was too important to hand it off to one of us, for which we five children were eternally grateful. Each piece of potato had to have an eye. And when I asked Father why this was so important, he said it was the only way you could be sure the potato would root when it was put in the ground. And so, Father would turn the potato in his hand, examine it, and cut it into proper pieces that would be sure to grow when planted.

And again he would tell me how the eye would sprout in the ground, and from that beginning, a potato would grow.

And soon the planting would begin. But before, Father would have spent many back-breaking hours on the long stretch of land that ran beside our vegetable garden. The reasoning behind planting potatoes outside the vegetable garden escaped me, but my sister Audrey said it was because they would take up the whole garden.

And so, long before Father started cutting them into pieces, he would have plowed that part of the field, and then with a shovel he would work each row until it was full of sepa-

rate holes, just deep enough to plant.

I thought the planting was as much of a chore as getting the ground ready. Father would take the filled pails from the summer-kitchen, carrying two at a time, and I would sense the pain I thought he must feel from the load, and he would place the pails at intervals along the rows. Then, stooping over, he would take out a few pieces of the cut potatoes and drop them into the holes. But the chore didn’t end there. Dippers of water from yet another pail were poured on top of the potatoes and then the hole covered with the earth beside it.

Father could only do a couple rows at a time; such was the chore of planting potatoes. It would take many hours to finish the job, and then the long wait began, hoping that one day a sprout would appear to show that his hard work had paid off.

And when row after row of potatoes filled that part of the field, I would marvel at the miracle of it all. I knew it would take a long time before we would see the blossoms on the plants, and I would both rejoice and be filled with dread. Because sometimes, when the sun beat down on our backs like an open fire, we would go up and down those same rows with

little honey pails of coal oil and pick off the potato bugs which, if left alone, would rub out all Father’s long hours of labour.

And I felt a certain comfort and relief as the plants grew and flourished, and I would have a deep sense of gratitude know-

ing as long as we had those bags of potatoes in the cellar, we wouldn’t starve to death when winter closed around us and something called the Depression showed no sign of easing off.
