Connie Legg is inviting residents from across Renfrew County to literally get a leg up for Hospice Renfrew this coming Sunday.

The annual Hike for Hospice kicks off at 2 p.m. at the Renfrew Presbyterian Church, as organizers prepare for another successful threekilometre fundraising walk or run.

Legg, whoʼs a certified palliative care nurse, is a founding member of Hospice Renfrew, which has been home for 300 end-of-life residents since it opened in January 2008.

A major impetus for getting involved with Hospice Renfrew was her own dadʼs death in the 1980s.

“My dad died in his early 50s of cancer before palliative care had caught on,” says Legg. “He died in a small community hospital (outside Renfrew County) and it was not a good experience. I vowed that there should be a better way to die. That was my impetus for getting involved with the hospice.”

Hospice Renfrew provides around-the-clock staff with a registered nurse and personal support care worker, while a doctor is always on call. The facility also has a full-time executive director and administrative assistant, a part-time volunteers co-ordinator, and close to 100 volunteers who fill a wide variety of roles, says Legg.

“Thatʼs what I like about it. It really is community-driven. Itʼs all about supporting each other.”

Motoring with vegetable oil Norwegian journalists get some help in Renfrew and Pembroke Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Have vegetable oil, will travel.

Thatʼs the main modus operandi of Norwegian journalists Julie Strand Offerdal and Astrid Schau-Larsen as they travel from Montreal to the Alberta tar sands with a truck fuelled primarily by vegetable oil.

Preferably used oil, too, since itʼs a lot cheaper and restaurants just might donate their used cooking oil.

During an April 25 stop in Renfrew, the two Norwegians and their production assistant, Gilbert Goulet of Montreal, visited friend Jamie Polk of Renfrew.

Polk is usually on the road, in western Canada, working as a kayak guide or planting trees, but last week he was home visiting his parents, Larry and Carolyn.

During their brief visit in Renfrew last week, the travelling trio received a donation of 75 litres of used vegetable oil from Step ʻN Back Diner. The Ford vehicle, with a 60-litre gas tank and 7.3-litre engine, needs a little diesel oil to start up, but otherwise can run on vegetable oil.

The group also arranged, with Polkʼs help, for a donation of 85 litres of vegetable oil from the Pembroke Golf Club.

“Itʼs wonderful to support friends whose values and ambitions you respect and look up to,” said Polk.

Strand Offerdal, whoʼs from Oslo, completed her University of Bergen masterʼs degree in democracy building last year while based out of Montrealʼs McGill University. A focus of her thesis was Statoilʼs social investment in the oil industry, in the Alberta tar sands and in the African country of Angola.

Sheʼs headed back to Norway in October 2013 for a job with a national press agency, but first thereʼs work to do on the film about the their 4,000-kilometre trip to the tar sands. The filmʼs title is Oil to Oil. PLANS FOR BERGEN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

Schau-Larsen, whoʼs from Bergen, now lives

A focal part of the Norwegians’ cross-Canada venture is to question the very use of fossil fuels and to profile consideration of alternative products to help drive the global economy. in Toronto, but plans to return home to see the film viewed at the October 2013 Bergen International Film Festival. Schau-Larsen, whose company is RAMZ Media, has had two of her films shown at the festival, Remains (2006) and In God We Trust (2011).

A focal part of the Norwegiansʼ cross-Canada venture is to question the very use of fossil fuels and to profile consideration of alternative products to help drive the global economy.

“We hope to bring the Norwegian people to the tar sands, and they can have their own opinion,” said Strand Offerdal.

She says Statoil has a worldwide reputation as an ethical and accountable oil company. She also notes that 67 per cent of Statoil shares are owned by the Norwegian government, therefore Norwegians have a vested interest in its activities, and that Statoil has invested in the education of local youth and built a local opportunities centre intended to help local people gets jobs in the tar sands industry.

To help tell their story, the Norwegian pair will interview academics, activists, politicians, and Canadians living near and far from the tar sands.

April 24, while in Ottawa, interviewees included Maude Barlow of the Council of Canadians, Green Party federal leader Elizabeth May and New Democratic Party MP Linda Duncan of Edmonton-Strathcona.

Check out www.oljetiloje.no to follow their interactive blog. The Norwegian daily newspaper, Aften Posten, will also carry video episodes that follow the journey.

The trio will arrive in the tar sands area about May 10, stay a few weeks, and return to Montreal in early June.

Get a leg or two up at Hike for Hospice Continued from front

Yet, the challenge remains to raise enough money to make financial ends meet each year.

Only about 50 per cent of operating costs are covered by the Province, leaving hospice to raise the remainder.

Over and above its three major fundraisers, Hospice Renfrew must rely on in-memoriam donations and third-party contributions from many service organizations, community members and charities. Its major fundraisers are Hike for Hospice, Aikenheadʼs Hospice Classic golf tournament and Hoot for Hospice.

Last yearʼs Hike for Hospice was its most successful since 2007, when about $48,000 was raised. The 2012 total was more than $52,000.

“We get incredible support, but weʼre always scraping to make ends meet,” said Legg, who says the annual budget is about $1 million.

At the same time, families donʼt have to pay a penny to have loved ones spend their final weeks at Hospice Renfrew, where there are six residentsʼ rooms, each with a private washroom, as well as a living room and kitchen, sun room, garden gazebo and office space. In keep-

ing with the facilityʼs motto, thereʼs an atmosphere of care, comfort and compassion.

Hike for Hospice registration starts at 1 p.m.

Sunday next to Presbyterian Church. The hike kicks off at 2 p.m. on Millennium Trail, with two route choices. Seniors and others who want a flat course can go out 1.5 kilometres and return along the same trail; others can continue along the Ma-Te-Way Park trail to Opeongo Road and back to the church.

But come, whether you have a pledge form or not, says Legg.

Those seeking a pledge form can pick them up at Hospice Renfrew, Renfrew RBC or www. hikeforhospice.ca, where one can also set up a personal account with the hospice.

Also, all pledges for Hike for Hospice lead hiker Hughie Nolan, who will participate in the Tenzig-Hillary Everest Marathon next month, will go to Hospice Renfrew.

“We welcome anyone to show up for this,” says Legg.

“It would be nice to have response from all across Renfrew County because we look after people from across the county.”

Keep celebrating our cultural heritage, says tourney organizer Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

David Shulist was born in Renfrew more than 61 years ago, but his deepest ancestral roots can be found in PolandĘźs province of Kashubia, formerly part of the Prussian Empire.

The province also represents the Nation of Kashubia, says the Wilno resident, who stood during the April 24 meeting of Renfrew County council to talk about the growing national and international proďŹ le of the Opeongo Heritage Cup hockey tournament.

He also brought along the cup, which the Kashubian GrifďŹ ns captured in late March. Played out of the BarryĘźs Bay arena, the tournament features distinctly different cultural teams, including three-time menĘźs champion Algonquin Thunderbirds, triple titlist Irish Shamrocks and the former champion German Black Eagles.

Shulist brought the cup so a photo could be taken with four people who have strong links to Kashubian culture and county council.

He said the photo would be sent to Kartuzy Mayor Miroslawa Lehman in the Polish

province of Kashubia. In fact, Shulist hopes to deliver the photo when he makes a trip to Poland in June.

The four Kashubs included Shulist and Rose Gruntz, the countyĘźs executive assistant, whose Kashubian maiden name is Utronkie. She grew up in the Killaoe area but now lives in Petawawa.

The other two were Renfrew Reeve Audrey Green, the great granddaughter of Adam Prince, the Kashub who was the ďŹ rst postmaster of Wilno in 1885, and Janice Visneskie, the Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards mayor whose greatgrandparents were from Kashubia.

Kashubia (or Kaszebe) is also the home of the largest concentration of Kashubs in the world. Shulist estimates KashubiaĘźs population at 500,000, of which about threequarters are Kashubs.

For several years, Shulist has been an enthusiastic promoter of Wilno as CanadaĘźs ďŹ rst Kashubian settlement in 1858.

He was also the founder and ďŹ rst president of the Wilno Heritage Society, while he continues to organize the eight-year-old Opeongo Heritage Cup.

The tournamentĘźs name comes from Opeongo Road, which the Irish, Kashubian and German settlers travelled to reach this area. The Algonquins travelled along the waterways.

The tournament, which plays to packed stands, is intended to promote the areaĘźs distinct cultures.

The tournamentĘźs other winners this year were the German Black Eagles of the womenĘźs division and Irish Shamrocks in the gentlemenĘźs division. “Canada is a multi-cultural nation, and weĘźre pretty proud to be Canadian, but weĘźre also proud of our cultural roots.

Because weĘźre so intertwined, doing a tournament like this has been very easy,â€? said Shulist. “Every year thereĘźs going to be somebody with bragging rights, but itĘźs more about everyone embracing each other.â€?

Reeve Green said she was pleased to have a personal tie to the tournament. “I think itĘźs great because itĘźs not just Polish or Kashubian, but it brings other cultures together. Maybe McNab-Braeside and their Scottish culture could get involved, too.â€?

Renfrew County again seeking Ottawa River national heritage status steve.newman@metroland.com

Admaston-Bromley Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe remains perplexed that the Ottawa River still doesnĘźt have national river heritage status.

She and other elected county ofďŹ cials have maintained for the best part of a decade that the river, which runs the entire east boundary of Renfrew County, should bear that status.

The designation was expected to be bestowed in 2008 after the recommendation was signed off by the

provincial natural resources minister and federal environmental minister. But the last link in the process was never made – the signature of local Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant. She has long maintained the status would restrict property ownersʟ rights, even though no evidence has been provided in this regard.

Now, GallantĘźs signature would be required as well as that of Peter Kent, the national environment minister.

Gallant and others resisting the heritage status have argued that property owners

on the river would be adversely affected by the designation.

Not so, according to research done by the countyĘźs own department of development and property and the Canadian Heritage Rivers System, which says no legislation is created when a river is designated.

Thirty-seven rivers have national heritage status, while another ďŹ ve have been nominated.

The Canadian Heritage Rivers System, which was established in 1984, is a national river conservation program that operates within the structure of Parks Canada.

Largely through the efforts of former local Liberal MP Len Hopkins, a group of volunteers did extensive documentation to prepare for the designation of the Ottawa River a few years

At county councilĘźs April 24 meeting, Briscoe asked if Warden Peter Emon would write to PM Harper asking again for support of heritage status of the Ottawa River. The 37 Canadian rivers already designated include the nearby Rideau, French and Mattawa rivers.

However, the county is appealing to Prime Minister Stephen Harper this month, and hence to MP Gallant, to support the designation.

The timing couldnĘźt be better, suggests Briscoe, because this June the county will host 400th-anniversary celebrations of explorer Samuel de ChamplainĘźs travels along the iconic

Two-year rehab of Centennial Lake Bridge starts soon Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

An Ottawa company will rehabilitate Centennial Lake Bridge in Greater Madawaska Township, but take two working seasons to do it.

Dalcon Enterprises Inc., of Ottawa, will do the scheduled 47-week project on Centennial Lake Bridge over two years. The work will likely start early this summer, said Greater Madawaska Mayor Peter Emon.

The two-lane bridge, which is more than 50 years old, will be widened from 7.5 to 8.5 metres, in addition to having the deck replaced and the wall reconstructed.

“The bridge is near the end of its life cycle, but itʼs still safe,” says Emon.

The project could have been completed in one year, but this would have necessitated closing the bridge to summer traffic and creating a significant detour in busy cottage country, says Renfrew County public works director Dave Darch.

Dalconʼs winning tender was $2.28 million, plus HST, compared to the next lowest bid of $2.55 million

by Looby Builders of Dublin, Ont. Twenty-one tenders were requested, but only eight companies submitted bids.

The countyʼs 10-year capital

works plan included $3 million for the Centennial Lake Bridge project.

Therefore, the county has sufficient funds to cover related professional services.

County council just approved an amended professional services agreement of $250,000, plus HST, with the Ottawa company Genivar.

That agreement covers administration costs of nearly $170,000, plus materials testing and design work.

CONTRACTS FOR B.R. FULTON

B.R. Fulton Construction of Renfrew has won two close bids for road work in Renfrew County.

Its tender of $462,660 was less than $4,000 lower than the closest of

eight companies bidding to rehab the four-kilometre stretch of Opeongo Road.

Fulton also won the contract to rehabilitate Hyndford Road (County Road 22) from Scotch Bush Road in Bonnechere Valley to Stone Road in Admaston Bromley, near Douglas.

The nine tenders included the low bid of $544,876 by B.R. Fulton, while Smiths Construction, of Arnprior, and Walsh Contracting and Equipment Rentals, of Barryʼs Bay, had the next lowest bids. They were each just under $580,000.

Greenwood Paving, of Pembroke, edged out Smiths Construction to win the contract to provide double surface treatment for the crumbling section of Ruby Road, just outside

Golden Lake. Greenwood will do the 3.4 kilometre stretch for $209,900 plus HST. Beam Construction, of Toronto, will rehab Indian River Bridge in Laurentian Valley Township. Its bid was $348,632 plus HST. Township Mayor Jack Wilson has asked the road over the bridge be raised about three feet, because of extensive runoff that results in spring flooding every four or five years.

Also, council has approved the purchase of five parcels of land along Flat Rapids Road (County Road 63) in McNab-Braeside.

These purchases will allow the county to construct the road to design standards. The cost to purchase the five properties was about $19,000.

Bonnechere Manor and Miramichi Lodge still waiting Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

The County of Renfrewʼs two long-term care homes remain without a full-time nurse practitioner, but maybe not for much longer.

Bonnechere Manor in Renfrew and Miramichi Lodge in Pembroke have each had that position filled for 13 years, but former full-time nurse practitioner Jean Benton, at her choice, is now working only part-time.

Therefore, the search continues for her successor.

Bentonʼs part-time contract was scheduled to end April 22, 2013, but she has agreed to extend that, if necessary, to the end of December 2013.

The two homes had hired a new nurse practitioner, but the candidate declined the position because of extenuating circumstances. The new nurse practitioner will split his or her time between Bonnechere Manor and Miramichi Lodge.

Meanwhile, another candidate is

Ottawa River Continued from page 3

During Governor-General David Johnsonʼs visit to Pembroke last week, for National Volunteer Week ceremonies, Briscoe said the public comments by Johnson, Emon and Pikwakanagan Chief Kirby Whiteduck all underlined the importance of the riverʼs connection to Canadaʼs long and proud history.

They did so as Briscoe enjoyed the ceremonies at Miramichi Lodge on the Pembroke shoreline of the Ottawa River.

The three spoke about the river and Champlainʼs contribution to Canadaʼs subsequent development, said Briscoe.

“There would not have been a Vancouver Olympics, without the Ottawa River,” said Briscoe, arguing that the countyʼs very creation was made possible by such explorers as Champlain coming up the Ottawa River and moving across the huge territory that

scheduled to visit the two facilities in early May before deciding whether to take the job. If he does not, other candidates are already available to talk to.

The selection committee includes Bonnechere Manor administrator Shayne Hoelke and Miramichi Lodge administrator Shelley Sheedy.

“Weʼre feeling fairly positive about being able to recruit a full-time nurse practitioner,” said Sheedy, who says the position is critical for keeping residents in the two homes and out of the nearby Pembroke or Renfrew hospital.

“Itʼs absolutely critical for our physicians, because they are overloaded with their office practices and being on-call and their responsibilities at the hospital. Both our residents, staff and certainly the physician-group have come to rely on the value of a nurse practitioner in long-term care.”

If the present candidate accepts the position, the new nurse practitioner could be on the job by June 2013. became Canada.

“I can hope that cooler heads prevail,” said Briscoe of Warden Emonʼs letter on behalf of the county.

Briscoe said itʼs her wish the letter stress the importance of the designation.

“Please, please, broaden the thought process. Give it your best shot. The month of June is the time.

Champlain deserves it. We deserve it.

Canada deserves it.”

The countyʼs letter will also be copied to federal Environment Minister Kent.

Several county officials have said the designation, if nothing else, would underline the riverʼs place in Canadian history and attract more tourists.

“I think itʼs an opportunity of economics,” said Madawaska Valley Mayor David Shulist, who doesnʼt understand why thereʼs been resistance.

“Wouldnʼt it be great to have that (heritage designation) on our brochures when weʼre advertising ourselves?” he said.

Retirement brings new ownership to Renfrew Animal Hospital Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

The new owners of Renfrew Animal Hospital have no shortage of fine, furry friends at or away from work.

Dr. Al Witham, who is retiring this year, has sold the Renfrew business to the three owners of the Mississippi Mills Animal Hospital in Almonte. They are Dr. Stephanie Clarke, Dr. Amanda Mulloy and Dr. Mark van Campen who are each pet owners.

In fact, Mulloy and van Campen each have specialneeds pets. Tinker Bell, Peggy and Wanderer are her three amputee feline companions in Carleton Place, where she lives with her husband, two children and their pet rat Nerf.

Van Campen, who was a

classmate of Mulloyʼs at the University of Guelphʼs Ontario Veterinary College in the mid 1990s, lives on a hobby farm in Almonte. He and his wife have 30 sheep and many more newly-born lambs, three cats and two dogs, including Isis, a sheltie whose back legs have been partly paralyzed for years.

Van Campen grew up on his parentsʼ beef farm in Utopia, near Barrie, Ont., while Clarke is from Grand Falls-Windsor in Newfoundland.

The owner of two cats and a dog, Dr. Clarke received her doctor of veterinary medicine from the University of Saskatchewanʼs Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon. Veterinary science definitely runs in the family, too, as her husband Don is

Renfrew budget preparation in full gear Biggest ticket items are fire truck, Queen Street restoration Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Renfrew council isnʼt rushing to complete the townʼs 2013 budget, but it could be approved by Monday. After the first budget workshop dealt primarily with capital costs and reserves, a second session was scheduled for yesterday (May 1).

At the opening workshop of more than two and a half hours last Thursday (April 26), treasurer Keray OʼReilly said there was no panic to accelerate budget discussions. If a third session is needed to deal with budget-related issues and questions, then so be it, he said.

If the original schedule goes as planned, council could approve the budget May 6.

The budget is projected to have a levy increase of three per cent.

The levy could also jump to about 3.3 per cent if there is support for Mayor Bill Ringroseʼs suggestion of opening a legacy reserve, with an initial payment of $10,000 to $20,000 for a future important endeavour.

There may also be an additional budget impact, said clerk Kim Bulmer, if one town staff position is changed from part-time to full-

time status.

Meanwhile, itʼs clear the budget will include two large-ticket items — a new $860,000 aerialladder fire truck and an estimated $1.5 million for reconstruction and restoration of two blocks of Queen Street.

OʼReilly led the April 26 workshop with assistance from finance committee chairman Tom Anderson, whoʼs back at council after recovering from a recent heart attack.

“The first thinking was to finance the fire truck over 25 years,” said treasurer OʼReilly, adding the town must also replace a pumper truck in the next 10 years, and the other pumper truck less than 10 years after that.

Therefore, OʼReilly has suggested creative financing that includes spending a one-time $115,000 ʻpremium holidayʼ from groupinsurance payments, and accessing various reserves that have sat dormant for a few years, like the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund ($183,558) and the Move Ontario ($73,578) reserves.

This approach would decrease the need for extensive long-term financing, especially if about $400,000 can be found in-house, leaving about $400,000 to be financed over 10 years.

“Council is very conscious about borrowing, and keeping an eye on the limits we have,” said OʼReilly.

The Queen Street work is a pri-

ority among the millions of dollars of infrastructure upgrading needed in town, said development and works director Mike Asselin.

“Queen Street is a complete renovation project,” he said.

“Itʼs what we call an integrated sewer and water and road project.

Weʼre starting at the base and replacing the water main, the sanitary and the storm sewer, as well as the sidewalk and curbs, totally reconstructing the road from right-ofway limit to right-of-way limit.

“Around town,” he added, “we have many, many, many roads that require a lot of work. (With Queen Street) we picked the one that has the most deficient infrastructure, and weʼre concentrating funds toward doing two blocks, from Lisgar to Patrick.”

That contract, which is out to tender, will likely be paid three ways, with the road component through accumulated federal gas tax money of about $500,000, and one-third each from the water fund and sewer fund.

“Thereʼs many, many more needs than there is money to do the work, so we have to set our priorities in terms of what roads get done,” added Asselin.

Capital costs include an $11,200 feasibility study, which could lead to major extension of the current landfillʼs shelf life. Recreation department capital costs will likely include a new score clock, replacement of aging heating units for

spectators at the skating rink, and a new ice resurfacer.

“Itʼs well past its life expectancy,” said interim recreation director Barclay Mayhew of the old scoreboard, which is prone to periodic breakdowns.

“And we have to have it in before the season starts (in September).”

Mayor Ringrose felt good about the opening budget workshop.

“Relative to the proposed budget, I thought there was good balance,” he said. “I have no trouble with something in the range of a three per cent raise.

“There was enough discussion back and forth … and that will continue into the next meeting (May 1).”

Near the end of last weekʼs budget workshop, council was told it had requests for funding to consider from four local organizations.

The Renfrew and Area Chamber of Commerce is asking for $9,000, the same amount it received last year, while the McDougall Mill Museum is seeking $5,000 for curator-like assistance and $2,800 to upgrade lighting.

The Business Improvement Areaʼs requests include about $2,900 for hydro costs at Low Square and a second weekly pickup of garbage containers by staff (which would result in no increase in the townʼs waste-management costs).

The hockey museum is seeking up to $21,000.

‘50s-style fundraiser Friday for RVH, CHEO Renfrew Victoria Hospital and local families see the benefits of the clinic at RVH for children referred to CHEO. Twice a month CHEO Pediatrician Anne Rowan-Legg visits Renfrew, saving families travel time and added pressure of going to the city.

RVH and CHEO work closely to continue to find ways to enhance this service.

“This joint effort by Dr. Rowan-Legg, CHEO and RVH has been a wonderful and ongoing commitment to enhance good care for the children of Renfrew and surrounding communities,” confirms Bonnie Nolan, RPN, adding that RVH is very lucky to have a co-op student such as Paige (Dillabough) do a placement.

“Thank you, Paige, for choosing the visiting children of RVH as your fundraising recipient.

To take on a fundraising event in honour of the children visiting Dr. Rowan-Leggʼs Pediatric Clinic is an incredible endeavour.”

“As I am doing my co-op placement with the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Foundation, and having been a patient at and fundraiser for CHEO, I see this as a perfect match for my fundraising project,” states Paige Dillabough.

DILLABOUGH’S CHALLENGE TO STUDENTS

“My Kids Helping Kids fundraising project is a ʻ50s-style dance-a-thon on Friday, May 3, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre for all grade 6, 7 and 8 students. I am asking each student to try to raise $25 in pledges for the dance-a-thon,” says Dillabough.

Pledge forms are available at the foundation office. Donations may also be made at the door,

Greenwood Paving has been awarded the 2013 contract for supplying and applying asphalt in Renfrew.

Four companies submitted tenders, including an out-of-town firm that bid $292,465.

“If theyʼre going to work in this town, they better get their prices down,” said development and works director Mike Asselin while discussing the tenders at town councilʼs April 22 meeting.

That price was more than three times higher than the low bid of $78,200, by the Pembroke firm that won the job.

H&H Construction, which has also done work in town, had the second lowest bid, of $88,150. The asphalt is to be used for street resurfacing, road reconstruction and road maintenance.

LINE PAINTING

Council also approved the 2013 contract for line painting. The contract was awarded to Trillium Pavement Markings with its tender of $16,700.68, compared to the second low bid of $22,406.25 by Western Signs and Painting.

Trillium was also offered the contract for the following two years, after indicating its cost would rise five per cent each year.

Western Signs said it wouldnʼt increase its price in subsequent years.

In recent years, the town has had lines painted twice yearly.

Young Mary grew her own garden through a seed catalogue

idea out of my mind!

And so I had to content myself with pictures cut out of the SteeleBriggs seed catalogue.

I was at the stage in my life when I loved to draw. And so I drew little gardens on each page of the big scribbler with the rough pages and the shiny black cover. I coloured the pages with my crayons, and I thought I had done a good enough job to even take the finished book to show Miss Crosby at the Northcote School.

Again, my sister Audrey advised me to keep it at home, since it may cause bad Marguirite to go into a fit of jealousy, and goodness knows what that could mean.

There was no money for anything fancy like a little bottle of mucilage.

Mother did something magically with boiled water and flour, and we used that to stick paper-to-paper and it worked perfectly well.

And so I would begin to create my very own catalogue. The roses went onto a page first. The red ones. Another page of drawings, and then the pink roses, and finally, the yellow ones.

By the time I had worked through all the little piles of cut-out flowers and pasted them into the scribbler, each separated by a crayon-coloured drawing, the scribbler was so fat, it was impossible to keep it closed. But if nothing else, those scribblers were a bargain.

There were still plenty of empty pages left for the pictures of my favourite vegetables. I was never that fond of turnips or cabbages, but blood-red tomatoes and green cucumbers, yellow beans, and radishes all had their own pages in my ʻseed catalogueʼ.

My brother Emerson, who was a far better artist that I was, and never let me forget it, laughed at my attempt at drawing gardens in my scribbler.

But Mother said my pictures reminded her of the big calendar we got from Scottʼs Hardware that year which was a country scene taken by a real camera. And that was good enough for me!

When finally the little wood boxes of earth scattered all over the house

WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED

The Steele-Briggs seed catalogue was now mine.

Motherʼs order had long since arrived. It came when the snow was deep around the house, and the sprigs of vegetables poking through the ground in the garden were still a long way off.

All over the house, for weeks, Mother had been urging little flat wood boxes of earth to show signs of life.

These boxes emerged every year, filled with earth by Father, and until it was time to plant the sprouts out in the garden, they sat on benches and chairs, watched and watered by Mother.

The window sills were too narrow to hold the boxes, and so finding a place to sit in the kitchen was often a challenge this time of year.

When Mother first planted the seeds that would have arrived in the mail C.O.D., I was wild with excitement. I checked every day to see if anything had sprung up, but after days and days of constant vigilance, I lost interest, and instead concentrated on the seed catalogues, for which I had great plans.

Using one of the rough-lined scribblers Mother had bought from Ritzʼs Drug Store in Renfrew on the OneCent-Sale, I re-created my very own seed catalogue. When I was finished, it didnʼt at all look like the SteeleBriggs one that came in wintertime.

The first thing I did was cut out all the pictures in the catalogue that were in colour.

This job alone could wile away many hours at the kitchen table in the evening. Then I sorted the pictures in two piles, one for vegetables and one for flowers.

When that job was finished, I next arranged the flowers into little piles, with my very favourites on top, and my least favourite ones on the bottom.

I was especially fond of the pictures of the roses. The red ones. And there were pink and yellow ones too, but the blood-red ones, I thought, were very special. Mother never ordered roses, which was a big disappointment to me, but she said the ground out at Northcote wasnʼt good enough for rose bushes.

My sister Audrey said it had more to do with the hard work involved in looking after rose bushes than it had to do with the soil.

Even when I told Audrey I would be glad to look after them, she said we would never see rose bushes on the farm at Northcote and to put the

OPINION

EDITORIAL

Hunger in hard times Life is all about priorities, and every life defined by what we believe and support.

In good times, itʼs easy to open our wallets and give with a generous heart.

Itʼs not so easy to give when times are hard and people are faced with crippling pressure to make ends meet.

That is why weʼre so lucky to live in a rural community known for its charitable spirit.

On Sunday, caring citizens will gather once more at Stewart Park beside the Renfrew Presbyterian Church to raise funds for Hospice Renfrew. Palliative care is important because it reveals our special concern for the dying and their families as they struggle through one of lifeʼs greatest challenges. We all face death and nothing matches the depth of grief attached to the loss of a loved one. Community support truly matters.

Meanwhile, many other non-profit groups grapple with shrinking resources, among them the Renfrew and District Food Bank.

Local food bank president Doug Brookes gave his 2013 report recently, noting that food donations have dropped.

This year the bank has already spent $6,700 for food compared to about $1,900 at the same

time last year.

And last year the food bank assisted 4,253 clients, compared to 3,079 the previous year.

The demand is growing, and citizens are urged to give when they can.

But if you canʼt give money, give support.

Give support by encouraging governments everywhere to reassess their role; to see themselves as more than legislators. Press them to become leaders.

While federal government television commercials tell us all is well and Canadaʼs Economic Action Plan is working, we need to seriously ask: Really?

If so, why is there so much need and despair?

Why do we even need food banks in a country of apparent wealth?

Last year almost half of the Renfrew and District Food Bankʼs clients were children – a shameful statistic in a country where the government spends millions of dollars on propaganda to present itself as good stewards of our hard-earned tax dollars.

The choice: spend our money on a partisan publicity campaign or feed our children?

The priority should be obvious, but obviously is not.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Does it have to be LAFT’s final curtain?

To the editor: Does it have to be LAFTʼs final curtain? I sincerely hope not!

My friend, the late Lois LeClaire, and myself embarked on a venture, the initiative of LAFT theatre 12 years ago.

Our motto was “always leave them laughing.”

We were fortunate to have friends and relatives who encouraged us and worked with us in many facets of theatre.

One always sees the finished product, the acting talents and visible set design , but the efforts lie in the many tasks behind the scenes, the ones where people work hard but never get to be seen and often not recognized with the laughter and applause, even though they are an integral part of a completed production.

The producer who is responsible for all the tasks, making sure there are people to fulfil the duties and that they are done on time is a tough job, having to always be on top of things.

I have been fortunate enough

to have had the opportunity to work in all areas and squeeze in some acting as well.

My friend was taken from me but has been watching from above, and we have revelled in the laughter, applause, and enjoyment of so many productions.

I am so lucky to have been able to experience that joy. My heartfelt thanks goes to the many people who were involved in any way over the years, be the contribution big or small.

To a community who embraced local theatre and attended the performances as often as they could, I say “Appreciated!”

To the patrons, we could not have done it without you.

To the staff at the recreation centre, how did you ever put up with us for so long! You were invaluable.

Money Concepts, thanks to you for stepping up and including our performances for your annual fundraising efforts, which enabled us to fulfil our goals of giving back to this

great community.

To the Miss Teen Ontario East Pageant committee and delegates who catered our spring dinners, thanks.

But then came the time when I needed to step down and leave room for new blood, new energy, new ideas.

I wish to express my thanks to all the new people who worked over the past two productions.

Unfortunately, circumstances have led to a disbanding of the LAFT board and cancellation of the last show.

This is a disappointment to actors who were working diligently on a great play and to others involved, but decisions need to be made.

So many people were inquiring about the recent play and were looking forward to it.

My fondest hope is that someone with a dream of live theatre will be able to pick up the reins and move on.

That person would not be starting from scratch. The venue is a good one, with excellent sound, a big stage and wide

wings. Lighting is installed and extra lights available in the storage room which is so kindly allotted to us by the recreation centre.

Set-building items and a full inventory of all is available from me, as well as written material regarding all facets of organization.

Some funds are available in trust.

Renfrew and the surrounding areas have so much talent, it is too bad for it to remain hidden.

I would love to support that interested person or persons ,should someone see the potential and the challenge which theatre offers, and be happy to see the joy and sense of accomplishment one gains from a show which brings light and laughter to the world.

I stand waiting for help for what I believe to be an important activity in our community.

Labour council decries lack of progress in deterring workplace deaths John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

Mary Wright was back at OĘźBrien Park Sunday, just as she has been every April 28 for the past 12 years.

On the national Day of Mourning for workers killed and injured on the job, Wright laid owers in memory of her son, Jamie, who was electrocuted in 2001 while working on a house near White Lake.

About 15 people attended the ceremony, organized by the Renfrew and District Labour Council, at the Day of Mourning monument off the end of the Swinging Bridge in Renfrew.

Labour council president Sue McSheffrey, who emceed the ceremony, noted that WrightĘźs death provided the impetus for creating a monument in Renfrew to ensure those workers who died or were injured on the job would not be forgotten. The Labour councilĘźs member unions joined together in 2002 to provide the special stone nestled under a pine tree in the park along the Bonnechere River. “I know many of you here today have had to deal with the loss of a loved one, friend or colleague,â€? she told those assembled. “We mourn with you, and we want you to know we will not let those lost lives be in vain.â€?

McSheffrey said people should be “furious� that in 2011 (the last year statistics are available), 919 workers

died in workplace incidents in Canada, with Ontario leading the way with 306. There were no deaths on the job in Prince Edward Island, “so it (elimination of workplace deaths) can happen,� she said.

She said that people might be surprised at some of the threats facing workers in occupations not normally perceived to be dangerous. Health workers face a variety of hazards, both in institutions and on homecare assignments, and teachers in old schools can be vulnerable to exposure to asbestos or poor air quality, she added.

Unions are leading the way in calling attention to unsafe working conditions, she said, noting that the unionized prison guards in Alberta are refusing to work under what they consider dangerous conditions.

In 1984 when the Canadian Labour Congress initiated April 28 as the Day of Mourning, it hoped that bringing national attention to the “carnage in our workplaces� would be a major factor in having governments and employers take action to put an end to the “outrageous numbers� of deaths and workplace injuries. However, 29 years later, little has changed, so labour councils have embarked on a campaign to have employers charged if negligent, she said.

McSheffrey pointed out legislation has been passed by various levels of government and many employers

sisters, brothers, grandparents, friends and co-workers are still not coming home to their families and friends.�

All workplace accidents and illnesses are preventable, she maintained. “They should not happen.�

Strong provisions in laws or collective agreements or workplace policies, are only as effective as the commitment of those who are tasked to enforce or comply with them, she said, adding “laws must be enforced.�

McSheffrey pointed out that CanadaĘźs Criminal Code includes provisions that allow the criminal prosecution of those whose negligence caused workplace deaths. “It must be used to send a strong signal to negligent employers who willfully place their workers in danger,â€? she said.

She said the Renfrew and District Labour Council agrees with the contention of the Canadian Labour Congress that when a worker is killed or injured on the job the workplace must be treated as a potential crime scene. “How else can we prosecute negligent employers if evidence in that workplace is not collected to be able to prosecute those responsible for the accident?� she asked.

In an effort to have the justice system take such incidents more seriously, the Renfrew and District Labour Council will be making appointments to talk to local police and Crown prosecutors to explain the

criminal negligence provisions in the Criminal Code. “WeĘźll be providing them with the CLC Guide ĘťDeath and Injury at Work: A Criminal Code OffenceĘź so that we can ensure proper investigations are conducted to gather the evidence in the event of a criminal prosecution,â€? said McSheffrey “Police and prosecutors need to have a better understanding of the changes to the criminal code so they can lay charges when deaths occur in the workplace. Those responsible when a fatality takes place in the workplace must be held accountable by the law.â€?

A message has to be sent by the courts and society that criminal negligence causing workplace deaths is totally unacceptable, and will be prosecuted, she added. “No worker should wake up in the morning wondering if Ęťtoday is the day I die at workĘź. “A safe and healthy workplace is not a sweet deal. ItĘźs a right for every worker.â€?

Joining Wright in laying wreathes or owers at the Renfrew monument were Pat Lafont on behalf of United Steelworkers Local 4820 at Haley Industries, Sandi Heins and Ben Treidlinger of OPSEU Local 449, and Doug Brooks on behalf of the Labour council.

The Labour Council also held a ceremony in Pembroke later in the day.

Greater Madawaska council gives green light for Bell Mobility tower Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Greater Madawaska council has authorized chief administrative officer Allison Holtzhauer to sign an agreement to allow Bell Mobility to build a 90-metre communications tower on Lanark Road.

“It should be noted that this does not entirely solve our cell access issues, but it goes a long way to moving it forward,” Mayor Peter Emon said.

“We still have the opportunity once it is constructed to bring to their attention any existing gaps.”

SHOW WHAT TOWNSHIP HAS TO OFFER

Coun. Bruno Kierczak said the commu-

nity has to jump on the opportunity to attract more people to the area, to make this place a tourist destination for Ontario.

The counillor was speaking at the Calabogie and Area Business Association (CABA) meeting of April 15.

About 15,000 seniors (Zoomers) retire annually in Ottawa, and that just the public service, he said.

“They come with money, they come with a desire for a life style, they come with a desire of healthy living, and they want to spend. So what we are trying to do now is to see how much of those we can attract here.”

Awareness of what Greater Madawaska has to offer has to be better, Kierczak said.

“People ask me, Whereʼs Calabogie?

Whereʼs Greater Madawaska? Well, we are

only an hour and 15 minutes from downtown Ottawa.

“So we are not doing a very job in terms of that kind of marketing. So it is awareness.”

Greater Madawaska will have a kiosk at the Zoomers Trade Show May 4 and 5 at the Ernst and Young Centre in Ottawa. They expect upwards of 6,000 people to go through there.

“The idea is to showcase, see if we can attract people to the area, visit and invest. We can talk to them about development, talk to them about tourism, and our destination.”

Greater Madawaska must showcase its businesses, areas and enthusiasm and culture, he said.

“We have to promote that we are a premier Ontario destination,” Kierczak added.

It is expected the animal “The people have been spe21, 1981. Heʼll stay on for a while this spring, to smooth cial here,” says Witham. “I hospitalʼs hours will expand, the transition to the new own- think the Ottawa Valley is the but at present they are 8:30 ers, but he says heʼs leaving greatest place to work and live a.m. to 5:30 p.m. weekdays Continued from page 5 and 9 a.m. to noon Saturday. and have a family.”

Get ready to go zip-zip-zip lining Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Florida, Costa Rica and Nicaragua are destinations for zip line enthusiasts. But you wonʼt have to travel that far for exhilarating zip line experiences, which are growing in popularity in North America.

Ownership of Logos Land Resort, just outside Cobden, is hoping a significant investment in its new three-leg, zip line course will bring smiles and goose bumps to many more of its customers in coming years.

Challenges Unlimited Inc. is completing construction and installation of a parallel zip line course over Astrolabe Lake this month. The course warms up nicely, with the first zip carrying visitors 201 metres across a small bay. Zip No. 2 runs 343 metres across the middle of the lake, before the final 401-metre leg returns buckled-in riders back above the water. The total ride is 3,100 feet, or almost one kilometre, at speeds of up to 35 km/h, usually six metres above the water, but sometimes closer to 25.

Logos Land owner Jerrold Paxtonʼs business partner, Kevin Cahill, died last December, but not the dream to continue to improve on what Logos Land offers its customers.

Facilities already in place include the water park, with its slide, splash pad, grill house, mini-golf, animal petting farm, beach and giant lake trampolines.

There are also timeshare villas, motel suites, 90 recreational vehicle (RV) park and camp sites, rental RVs, 100 wilderness camp sites for trailers or tenters, and the neighbouring Oaks of Cobden golf course.

“We have four goals in mind,” says Logos Land director of marketing and sales Fred Glover.

The first goal is to offer something, like the zip line course, that caters more to older youngsters.

“Weʼve made investments

Fred Glover, Logos Land Resort director of sales and marketing director, displays the type of harness that will be used for riders on the new zip line. in recent years for the little kids, like the petting farm and the splash pad,” says Glover.

“But for older kids, as families grow up, you donʼt want them to hit the boredom curve.”

The same philosophy applies to younger adults. The connection of the zip line for these potential customers also happens to coincide with the ideal weight for zip line passengers. The weight allowance runs from 75 to about 275 pounds.

The second marketing goal, says Glover, is to expand Logos Landʼs season, which for the longest time has been concentrated in July and August.

“The zip line can be used year-round, but more practically it will certainly run in the summer, as well as in the spring and fall.”

Logos Land has already experienced positives vibes about the new course. For example, response at the recent Ottawa RV Show, which attracts more than 20,000 visitors, was extremely positive.

“Our big posters stopped them,” says Glover. “It surprised us, especially the positive verbal feedback from 40-, 50- and 60-year-olds. But weʼll

see for sure this summer.”

Glover acknowledges thereʼs another zip line, at Chutes Coulonge, while pointing out that Logos Land Resort aspires to become a growing part of multi-activity tourist packages in the area, thus Logos Landʼs third marketing goal.

For example, thereʼs no reason tourists canʼt zip over Astrolabe Lake, play golf rounds at a variety of courses in the area, see the Bonnechere Caves, zip some more in Chutes Coulonge and try some whitewater rafting or kayaking.

Unlike Logos Land, Chutes Coulonge offers two zip lines of 100 and 260 metres over whitewater rapids and a shorter nine-zip series.

As Glover says, “Every zip line you see is different.”

The areaʼs newest zip line, says Glover, will be simple, safe, exhilarating and an attractive addition to what Logos Land already offers.

Hence, Logos Landʼs fourth marketing goal — to expose zip-liners to Logos Landʼs other facilities.

The zip line will increase local employment. About a dozen staff will be hired to run the facility.

Zip-liners will wear a helmet and gloves while holding on to a harness that is hooked to a pulley attached to the zip line cable. Reaching the platforms is easy, via stairwells.

There will also be a practice zone where riders can hook to a shorter line to familiarize themselves with the art and science of the sport.

The cost is $16 plus GST per zip line course, but discounts will be offered for groups, multiple rides, and those booking on-site accommodation.

For more details, check out www.logosland.com or call 613-646-9765.

The zip line is being constructed by Challenges Unlimited Inc. The Bracebridge, Ont., firm has built zip lines, challenge courses, climbing walls and towers, and aerial parks for more than 20 years.

OHA District 2 meets in Renfrew Kathryn Lindsay and Jeff Blackadar

April 6, 165 members of local horticultural societies met for a day of presentations and socializing at the Community Hall of the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre in Renfrew.

The occasion was a meeting of District 2 (D2) of the Ontario Horticultural Association (www.GardenOntario. org) on the theme of In Our Backyard.

D2 is made up of 21 horticultural societies in Renfrew, Lanark and Grenville counties plus the City of Ottawa. Societies are involved in community beautification, educating gardeners young and old, and conducting plant sales and flower-vegetable shows.

The day started with an advisory council meeting of the District and Society executives to plan district events, including meetings, shows and fun days. More delegates then arrived for the annual general meeting which was opened by a warm welcome from Renfrew town councillor Jim Miller, who described Renfrewʼs vision as a sports

and leisure destination.

Christina Ouellet, floral designer and owner of The Flower Factory (www.theflowerfactory.ca) in downtown Renfrew, then entertained and inspired delegates with her creation of three arrangements reflecting Northern Perspectives, the theme for the OHA Convention in July in Thunder Bay. The Trinity-St. Andrewʼs United Church auxiliary served a delicious and hearty traditional valley lunch to rave reviews all round.

During lunch, delegates viewed the D2 photo competition entries, browsed a garden book sale, voted on submissions for a new D2 logo and bid in a silent auction which included The Flower Factory arrangements and items donated by the Societies, the Renfrew BIA and downtown merchants, including Sense of Country, Scott Hardware, Donohue Art & Frame, The Plentiful Pantry and Pick-ItFence.

During the AGM, Kathy Lindsay of Renfrew was reelected as the D2 director and

LLEY VA NDSC APIN

was installed along with the rest of the executive by James Graham, vice-president of the Ontario Horticultural Association (OHA).

Graham was visiting from Waterloo and also brought greetings and key messages from the OHA president and regaled delegates with personal tales of gardening, friendships and sharing through his local horticultural society.

To close the day, Grant Dobson of Connaught Nursery on the Micksburg Road (www.connaughtnursery. com) presented The 100-Mile Garden – Moving Beyond the Purple Coneflower.

He highlighted the beautiful and unusual local native plants we can grow in our gardens and excitedly described activities at the Shaw Woods Outdoor Education Centre (www.shawwoods.ca) on Bulger Road near Lake Dore.

Former members of the Renfrew Horticultural Society (which has been dormant since 2008) enjoyed the D2 meeting. They now support local horticultural societies in Eganville and Beachburg.

(3"/% 306/%4 Volunteers are the heart of the community and they are undoubtedly the heart and soul of our hospital.

Every year, we take time to salute these kind men and women who donate their expertise and time to benefit our patients and their families as part of National Volunteer Week celebrations.

Our annual RVH Volunteer Luncheon held on Tuesday, April 23, is just a small gesture to show how much we appreciate the dedicated roster of volunteers who lend a helping hand in nearly every aspect of the hospital—from ministerial services, RVH Foundation and the board of directors to various hospital units.

“The oncology unit is blessed to have so many generous volunteers,” notes Rhonda Normandeau, Clinical Nurse Manger of the unit.

They provide comfort items for patients undergoing treatment, including hats for both cold and warmer weather, wigs, blankets and quilts.

“The time and skill spent making these items, including beautiful full-size quilts, is amazing, and patients are always very appreciative.” Volunteers also donate their time within the unit, offering coffee, tea, juice and cookies to patients, she adds.

Volunteers give the recreation department an extra set of hands, which enables the recreation staff to focus on individuals who need more attention, comments Roxanne Nolan, RVH Recreationist.

“The volunteers may lead a class, help prepare treats, tea/coffee for events, help decorate for events, engage patients in the program being run, be a friendly visitor to patients and provide entertainment for programs.”

These wonderful people are extremely valuable to our patients—they are an added friendly smile, an added listening ear, an added soothing touch, and an added caring soul, which makes a big difference in the lives of our patients, adds Nolan. “The volunteers choose to make the patients an important part of their lives simply by the act of volunteering.”

In dialysis, we have a committed group of quilting grannies, who have been providing a personalized quilt to every hemodialysis patient for years.

As the social worker with the RVH nephrology program, Meghan Lance is responsible for notifying the quilters about

the arrival of a new patient; “Within the week our new patients receive their quilts with their names hand-sewn into the material.”

Approximately 130 people deliver Meals on Wheels throughout the community. The program began in 1976 and currently can accommodate up to 16 people, plus nearly 100 meals each month delivered to Hospice Renfrew patients.

RVH Dietary Director Pam Cranfield explains that “most of the clients are longterm recipients, but they occasionally will have people requesting meals while they recuperate from surgery.” Various community organizations—the Rotarians, Community Living, the RVH Auxiliary, Knights of Columbus and members of Trinity St. Andrew’s United

Church—are involved to make the program run like a well-oiled machine.

Our Auxiliary provides ongoing financial support to RVH by organizing various fundraisers and events. At the luncheon, the ladies donated $32,000—$15,500 will complete their $150,000 five-year pledge to the CT fund and the remaining $16,500 will be directed toward their new pledge commitment.

From the bottom of our hearts, thanks once again to all of our incredible volunteers!

Auxiliary members Mae Craig (President), Ruth Steward and Marilyn York (First Vice-President) present a cheque to Randy Penney, RVH President and CEO at the hospital’s annual volunteer appreciation luncheon.

Renfrew BIA after more territory and municipal help steve.newman@metroland.com

Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Greater Madawaskaʼs decision on whether or not the townshipʼs public works department will be working a summer hours schedule of a four-day work, or staying with the customary five-day schedule yearround will be high on councilʼs agenda May 14.

Public works manager Jamie Doering recommended that the road department work four 10-hour days Monday to Thursday from May through Sept. 30.

Regular hours are five eight-hour work days.

Doering said with a four-day work week, one person will be at

the ready on Fridays with a second accessible if needed.

“Over the next few weeks, if it is approved and I see there are a lot of calls on Friday, then I certainly will consider maybe breaking it up and doing the split shift of a Monday to Thursday, and Tuesday to Friday if required.

“Normally on a callout, I send out one individual, not two,” he added.

“Iʼm struggling with this,” Coun. Glenda McKay said. “I do believe there is a cost to the township.”

After mashing numbers, she said that even with just a couple of Friday callouts, the estimated amount of money that would have

to be made up against fuel costs saved for the four-day week would be around $2,100.

“I just wanted to bring that forward because I want you to understand Iʼd probably vote against it right now. We are struggling financially as it is,” Coun. McKay said.

Coun. McKay suggested they wait a week before voting to allow Doering time to look over the numbers. “Iʼm comfortable with that,” she said.

Coun. Brian Hunt noted that the decision should be made by construction season, which starts in May. The final decision will be stretched over until committee of the whole May 14.

Unfortunately I could not join him for the rest of his day as I had been requested to attend a meeting in Whitney, along with the Minister of Community Safety, Madeleine Meilleur. We met with the Community Control Group to discuss the dangerously high water levels that had been experienced in the previous few days. Both the Minister and I were very impressed with the coordinated effort and planning that the Township had in place, in cooperation with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ontario Power Generation. Water: we seem to either have too much of it, or not enough. But whenever it falls out of the normal ranges, it is certainly a problem.

The Renfrew Business Improvement Area (BIA) received the townʼs backing with the 2012 pilot project to remove parking meters in downtown Renfrew for at least a year.

Response has been extremely positive, according to new BIA chairman Mel Blimkie.

But the BIA is looking for more town assistance, and to expand its territory, in efforts to continue to promote and organize business opportunities that increase customer traffic downtown.

Blimkie attended municipal council April 22 to talk about the BIAʼs potential expansion and the possibilities of more assistance from the town.

Expansion, says Blimkie, would allow for a larger overall levy and increased volunteer base.

A town staff report is scheduled to come back to council by late May regarding the pros and cons, and logistics, of increasing the BIAʼs territory. At present the BIA has about 120 members, whereas expansion would increase that group by a few dozen.

Upon examining the practices of other BIAs, Blimkie told council it also needs more assistance with beautification or maintenance of the downtown core.

He has asked council to approve coverage for extra garbage pickup and street sweeping, and hydro costs to enhance the streetscape along Raglan Street.

Blimkie told The Mercury, replacement of streetlight bases consumed about 33 per cent of its $65,000 annual budget last year. Add in the cost of flowers, tree replacement, garden tractor operation, watering and part-time labour, and 80 per cent of the budget

is consumed, said Blimkie.

Blimkie, who recently succeeded Lisa Vincent as BIA chair, says this assistance would allow the BIA to do a better job to promote its cause.

Vincent remains on the board, as past chair, while the first and second vice-presidents are Christina Ouellet and James Briscoe respectively.

“What we are asking for is some consideration during budget planning, to take over the street expenses, to allow us to compete in a very challenging economy.”

In correspondence to council earlier this year, Blimkie and Vincent said, “Key to our mandate is creating a clear picture of who our membership is and how it can grow. This growth is absolutely necessary to ensure the ongoing viability of our board.

“To continue to promote and market downtown Renfrew, the board needs more volunteers.”

In the letter, Blimkie and Vincent also said they hoped to expand membership by extending its zone and by establishing an associate member program for outlying businesses.

The current BIA zone ends at Munroe Avenue, but would extend to Lochiel Street, and still end at Hall Avenue at the other end of downtown.

At present, the BIA is responsible for incremental garbage pickup. The town picks up garbage Wednesday, but the BIA is asking for a second pickup on the main street Friday or Monday.

If the BIA has more money available, Blimkie says the BIA would expand its marketing efforts.

“Weʼd like to get into Ottawa and outside this area (to market Renfrewʼs downtown),” said Blimkie.

“Come to Renfrew for a day, come to Renfrew for a weekend. Of course, the spinoff is for the whole town.”

Tim Hudak and the PC caucus also signaled last week that we would be tabling a “Want of Confidence motion” regarding the government’s abject failure in the handling of the Mississauga and Oakville gas plant cancellations.

Having sat on the committee looking into this scandal for the past several weeks, I am appalled at the contradictory testimony put forward by witness after witness trying to protect their masters in the Liberal party. In spite of Kathleen Wynne’s public statements to cooperate fully with the work of the committee, she and the government have done no such thing.

It’s clear that their intentions are to drag this on as long as possible, hoping that the public forgets about it.

On April 15th, Jim McCarter the Auditor General released his report on Mississauga indicating that the true cost of the cancellation would be $275 million vs. the $190 million that the government had pledged was the total.

The government’s reaction to this was to basically shrug their shoulders, as if to say “oh well, it’s no big deal”. After all $275 million dollars to buy a few Liberal seats, to them would be seen as a good investment. The problem is it’s your money. We hope the government allows an opportunity to debate this Want of Confidence motion, and that the New Democrats will support it, making it very clear to this government that they can avoid accountability no longer.

Common redpolls have spent the winter with us UNUSUAL SPRING MIGRANTS

Common redpolls have been with us since early in the fall and do not seem anxious to leave. Some feeders still have over 100 of them coming to feed every day. Not a bad thing because this happy wanderer may not return for several years.

These small birds have a special physical feature that allows them to store seeds in the evening and prior to extended cold spells. The structure is a bilobed pocket situated half way down the neck that is used to store the seeds of birch, Niger and conifer trees. The ʻextraʼ food helps carry the birds through low nighttimes temperatures by reducing the time they spend foraging and allowing them to digest the seeds while resting in a sheltered place.

They will stay as long as there is food for them.

it is covered with ants. The tongue recoils inside the skull which helps soften the blow when the birds are ʻdrumming.ʼ At the present time northern flickers, yellow-bellied sapsuckers, pileated, hairy, downy, black backed, red-headed, red-bellied and three-toed, woodpeckers are doing their mating dances and drumming out their message telling other woodpeckers to stay out of their territory. The drumming takes place on a hard dry limb of a hardwood tree within the birdʼs territory. All the woodpeckers drum at a different tempo and volume.

Margo Schwerdtfeger sent us this account of an unusual bird at her feeders.

At first I thought it was a white canary until it turned its head and I saw the red crown.

It looked like to a hoary redpoll but did not have any streaking at all. This bird is pure white except for the red patch on its forehead.

Thank you, Margo Schwerdtfeger Margo: The bird is a common redpoll but is partially albino. It has one (white feathers) of the three characteristics of an albino bird.

Mark Artherton saw a common loon on the Ottawa River near Chenaux that was entirely white except for the head which was black. All the behavioural characteristics where those of a common loon.

Barry Martin at Ashdad had a white wild turkey walk through his yard this week.

The bird had some dark brown and black feathers but was mainly white. The white wild turkeys have been turning up in all the townships in Renfrew County.

NEW ARRIVALS

MANY RETURNEES

Carol McCuaig writes sent us the following report. New arrivals at Poison Ivy Acres this week include hooded mergansers, a great blue heron, northern harriers and turkey vultures. I always enjoy watching the hooded mergansers, which have nested here for more than thirty years. They have some very interesting mating rituals.

Dr. Earle and Bonnie Potvin at Shawville have seen a wide variety of species this week. Common redpolls, purple finches, a northern shrike, a Cooper`s hawk, buffleheads, wood ducks, mallard ducks, brown thrashers and a great blue heron.

The birds will be returning in large numbers (waves) and of all our species except the insectivores (wood warblers and flycatchers).

Frank Bennett saw variety of colours at his feeders: redpolls, white-crowned sparrows, dark-eyed juncos and cardinals.

Cathy and Remick Campbell saw American kestrels and tree swallows both welcome returnees this week. The Campbells are supplying bird houses for both species again this year.

NORTHERN FLICKER

We received an email from Penny Haley this week describing a northern flicker that arrived in her backyard. Flickers are the only woodpeckers that feed on the ground where they consume large numbers of ants.

They have a long tongue that is barbed and covered with a sticky resin that they push into a nest of ants and then withdraw when

One-hundred and eleven countries participated in the 2013 Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) on Feb. 15 to 18, and a whopping 2,973 species of birds were reported. Canadians submitted 12,500 checklists and helped document a winter finch irruption, an impressive showing of Snowy Owls, and an absence of waxwings. You can visit the GBBC web site for more details. Bird Studies Canada played a major role in administering the count. Our thanks to all those that participated.

Pedal power at Calabogie It was -2 degrees C when this group of cyclists took to the track at Calabogie Motorsports Park. This year’s Cyclelogik Calabogie Classic O-Cup was held on Sunday, April 21. The twisty 5.05-kilometre race track, which sported perfect pavement and rolling elevation changes, made for a great early-season course, organizers said. The cyclists competed in front of good crowds.

RENFREW RECREATION DEPARTMENT

Recreation volunteers The Town of Renfrew Parks and Recreation Department paid tribute to their volunteers at an evening event at the town hall. Volunteers assist with many programs, activities, events and behind the scenes work to allow recreation to flourish in Renfrew. The department had more than 50 people registered as volunteers over the past year. In front, from left are Miss Teen Ontario East Sonya Bergin and runner-up Saralyn Deslaurier; second row, Connie Ryan, Tasha Latendresse, Sandi Heins, Aimee Stevens-Bates, Jessica Bilson, Tanya Vincent and Donna McWhirter; and back row; Clint McWhirter, Glen Goslin, Mauro Borghi, Rob Perry, Debbie Fiebig, Daryl Fiebig, Peter VanderPloeg and Barb Unsworth.

In the battle of the two Ladies Spring Basketball League undefeated teams, the Reunions dominated early, leading 21-11 at the break.

The Reunions then cruised through the second half to hand the Renfrew Golf Club Bananas their first defeat, 46-19. Mae Donohue hit five treys on her way to 24 points.

Dunbar Fuels closed to within six points (31-25) of the Reunions early in the second half, but couldnʼt finish.

The Reunions prevailed 3827. Seven players from each team hit the score sheet.

Janet Goulard almost sin-

gle-handedly kept the Frances/Lemke Co-operators in the game with Dunbar Fuels.

Janet scored 10 consecutive points to bring her team from behind to a 16-15 lead. The rest of the Co-operators then came alive and hung on to collect their first victory, 2421.

Only the last two minutes separated Mid-Town Flooring and Frances/Lemke Co-operators. With, at most, a basket separating the two teams throughout the contest, MidTown had a slim 25-24 lead with two minutes remaining.

The Co-operators were forced to gamble, and MidTown closed out with four buckets for their first victory,

33-24. Sarah Dougherty, recently back from a seventh place finish in the weight throw in the CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport) nationals for the University of Guelph, topped all scorers with 18 points.

After a great first half and an early lead, Signature Styles couldnʼt keep up with the Cooperators in the second half, and dropped a 27-16 decision.

Each team had six or more players who scored.

Signature Styles kept up with Dunbar Fuels in the second half, but this time it was the first half that let them down. They couldnʼt overcome a nine-point deficit and lost 23-14.

The chase for the Stanley Cup is on highlighted by intriguing matchups PETER CLARK Peter’s Putterings

The 48-game National Hockey League season promised some surprises and there were a few. The bottom three finishers from the Eastern Conference of a year ago are among the 16 teams still left in contention.

Two teams that missed the Western Conference playoffs in 2012 are back in the post-season hunt.

In looking at this yearʼs matchups, I think there are only two that one could consider close to a sure thing.

Team Renfrew woke up early Saturday, April 27 to meet and head to Kingston for the provincial wrestling championships.

For many of the wrestlers this was their ďŹ rst major tournament outside of the school qualiďŹ er and the Renfrew Rumble. The team has been training hard since March 4 to prepare for this tournament.

The quality of wrestling was very high and many were tested to their limits in their matches.

Wrestling started at 9 a.m. with the novice age group, followed by kids and then the bantams. This was also the ďŹ nal year for several of our team members who will be moving up into the older age group and their last opportunity to be provincial youth champions. Coaches were proud of the performance of all the athletes and the results were favorable.

Thanks goes out to the community for their support in their purchase of tags on our tag days over the Easter weekend and during our bottle drive on April 20. Without all your support

the cost of athletes travelling to these tournaments would not be possible for many.

Thanks also to MacĘźs for selling our Nevada tickets as they also make it possible for us to keep our equipment up to date.

The team results were boys novice and kids combined, second place; girls novice and kids combined, ďŹ rst place; bantam girls, ďŹ rst place; bantam combined, ďŹ rst place.

Berry thanks participants in post-Boston run Berry was quick to point out, the success of the local run was a team effort. “We had about 40 people in attendance and that was respectable con-

sidering the short notice and weather conditions. I could not have been more pleased with the fact that the athletes showed up,�

Berry said. “And the fam-

ily from Boston took this opportunity to pay respects to their fellow citizens. “We run to, we run from.

The main thing is we keep on running,� Berry added.

Literacy class holds Lego challenge

2013 KIA SORENTO

Annette Kinslow Literacy class instructor

The Literacy Basic Skills Modified Class, a Renfrew County District School Board program, decided it was that time of year when the students wanted to put their skills to the test. In this case, it wasnʼt your ordinary test of pencil pushing and nail biting.

The students participated in the One Hundred Lego Challenge and their entries were judged April 19 at Community Living Renfrew County South.

Literacy Basic Skills (LBS) is a task bases program which allows students to display their skills in a variety of ways and in various settings.

The program recognizes the individual and their particular learning style.

The One Hundred Lego Challenge involves students communicating ideas and information, managing learning and problem solving, understanding numbers, and digital technology.

After weeks of setting goals, creating a plan to achieve their goals, and reassessing and making changes, goals were achieved and students were able to feel successful.

The end result was a well-thought out Lego structure consisting of 100 blocks.

Learning isnʼt just for the classroom. Itʼs all around us.

We just need to give students the opportunities.

Testing one skill doesnʼt always have to be sitting and writing down what we have learned. We can use a variety of learning styles to showcase our students and find a task which allows the student to demonstrate their skills and be successful. Thatʼs how we do it at LBS. Kevin Reid was the winner of the One Hundred Lego Challenge. MaryEllen McNulty was second and Eric Teschke third.

Special thanks go to our judges, Lucas Eady of Lloyd Eady Construction, Ellen Eady of Algonquin College in Pembroke, and Renfrew Adult High

Admaston-Bromley Township roads superintendent Chris Kunopaski received a letter from Ruth Quast, notifying him that Quast will be retiring from her employment as secretary of the operations department as of Aug. 29, 2013.

Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe said Quast has been a real asset for the township.

“Sheʼs the first weʼve ever had to be an assistant to Chris. She has fit in, hand in glove, and has helped all of us.”

Council accepted Quastʼs letter as a retirement, and not as a resignation.

MP Gallant calls for a moratorium Choose from 4 Completely Finished on removal on CN railway lines Homes Now Open For Viewing lant (RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke) — That, in the opinion of the House, the Government should impose a 10-year moratorium on the removal of the Canadian National Railway rail lines between North Bay and Montre-

built with public funds in the late 19th and early 20th century, so every opportunity to find a buyer should be exhausted before they are removed, the news release also says.

throughout Ontario in 2008.

According to the Canada Transportation Act, 1996, if no rail line offers to buy the lines, CN is required to give governments, transit authorities, and corporations partnered with governments a chance to buy the rail lines for their own use. At that time, no municipality was able to put forward an offer to CN due to the fiscal limitation imposed by the 2008 global recession.

TPR was formed in 2009 with the hopes of allying with governments throughout Renfrew County and western Quebec to buy the rail lines for passenger rail and shipping use.

Gallantʼs news release says that despite repeated requests, CN has been unwilling to re-open the bidding process for their rails lines since the original 2009 deadline passed.

These lines were originally

RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant, has introduced a new private members motion into the House of Commons that calls for a 10-year moratorium on the removal of Canadian National Railway (CN) rail lines in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec.

“I have introduced this motion at the request of constituent who may have a buyer for the rail lines throughout Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec,” said an April 25 news release from Gallantʼs office.

“Transport Pontiac-Renfrew (TPR), headed by Terry Gibeau, has been asking CN for some time to consider community bids for their rail lines, but to no success.

“These rail lines are too important to future economic activity in Eastern and Northern Ontario to be removed.”

CN announced its plans to remove rail lines

An original musical theatre production that takes an innovative and fun-filled look at the past, present and possible futures for the Bonnechere River watershed is coming to your community this spring and summer! The local theatre production, Bonnechere River – Future Tense, is a Bonnechere River Watershed Project (BRWP) and Stone Fence Theatre partnership, with financial assistance provided by the Ontario Trillium Foundation.

The play was written by Ish Theilheimer and Johanna

Zomers, with original music

by Terry McLeish and John Haslam and is directed by Chantal Elie-Sernoskie. It features veteran Stone Fence Theatre players Josh McCoy, Maureen McCoy, Amber Dagenais, Chantal Elie-Sernoskie Terry McLeish and John Haslam. The playʼs producer is Ann Bulger.

Bonnechere River – Future Tense is a fast-paced comedy that raises some serious questions about the river, the people who live near it, and how best to protect them all.

“Itʼs great to have Stone Fence Theatre help us get people thinking about the watershed and its future,” says

As always, spring is a very busy time in our office with the beginning of income tax season. Once again we have had an increase in people needing their income tax completed by us.

We would like to thank our wonderful volunteers who dedicate their time for the months of March and April to do these income tax returns.

Our fundraising committee is busy organizing our first Nine and Dine golf night on Friday, June 21 at Dragonfly Golf Links. The cost is $60 per person (team of 4) this includes golf, cart and dinner.

Contact Renfrew and Area Seniorsʼ Home Support for registration forms by calling 613-432-7691 or by dropping into the office at 3-180 Plaunt St. S. Register your team before June 7, as there is limited space available. If you are just interested in attending the dinner, if youʼre not golfing, the cost will be $15. Just let us know by the registration cut-off date.

So come out and support Home Support as well as have some fun. Come and see us at the BIA Downtown Garage Sale on Saturday, May 4, from 8 a.m. to 12 noon as we will be selling home baking and raffle tickets.

Our spring raffle tickets for $500 in Canadian Tire gift cards (first prize $250, second prize $150 and third prize $100). These cards can be used for gas or inside any Canadian Tire store. Raffle tickets are being sold at Walmart and through the office. Office hours are Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The draw date is May 21 at 2 p.m. Good luck!

If you know of anyone in your family or even a neighbour who you think could benefit from one or more of our services please call 613-432-7691 or come into the office and we would be more than happy to answer any of your questions or concerns.

Services that we provide are: transportation, home maintenance, frozen meals, grocery program, friendly visiting, telephone assurance and client intervention and assistance.

BRWP chair Kathy Lindsay.

“Weʼre going everywhere we can in the area to raise awareness and we hope hundreds of local residents will see it.

Ten performances take place this spring and summer, and most of the performances are by donation at the door.

The premier was April 27 at the Wilno Tavern, following the BRWPʼs annual general meeting. The second performance is a lunch theatre performance on Saturday, May 4 beginning at 12 noon at The Sands on Golden Lake.

Notice of Study Commencement Hall Avenue Extension Municipal Class Schedule ‘C’ Environmental Assessment The Town of Renfrew has initiated an Environmental Assessment (EA) to examine the extension of Hall Avenue as a result of the Hunter Gate Subdivision expansion which is proposed east of Gillan Road at the current terminus of Hall Avenue.

The study will document the transportation need and define the new form and function of the road in the community. The Recommended Plan will address current and future operational needs considering all modes of travel. This roadway will be a long term link that will change local travel for vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians for future travel.

The project is being planned as a Schedule ‘C’ project under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2007) document. The EA Study will confirm the project need and justification, document existing environmental conditions, examine alternatives and define the roadway design.

One Public Information Centre (PIC) meeting will be scheduled for this project in the spring of 2013. A PIC notice will be published in the Renfrew Mercury at that time.

There is an opportunity at any time during the EA process for interested persons to provide comments. Any comments received pertaining to the study will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record.

For more information, or if you wish to be placed on the study’s mailing list, please contact: Mike Asselin, P. Eng. Director of Development and Works Town of Renfrew 127 Raglan Street Renfrew, ON K7V 1P8 Tel: (613) 432-8166 Fax: (613) 432-8265 masselin@town.renfrew.on.ca

CIIF funding awarded for Cobden ag hall Washrooms at the Cobden Agricultural Hall are more accessible, thanks to funding from the Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF).

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant announced the $25,812 grant March 13.

Gallant said the money demonstrates the governmentʼs support for communities across Canada.

“Here in Cobden, these local projects will create jobs, growth and longterm prosperity in our community,” said Gallant.

“By improving facilities such as this one, we are helping to boost economic activity and maintain a high quality of life for residents of all ages.”

She said the agricultural hall is a meeting lace got people from across the county because of the villageʼs central location. “Be it a weddng or a forum to discuss a farming crisis, the Ag Hall is the place that comes to mind first,” she said.

May is a month of special events at St. Joseph’s High The second term of the second semester was kicked off last week by the handing out of report cards – and with only two months left before two months of summer, itʼs easy to see how quickly this school year has gone by!

May will be filled with many events and special dates for students and parents alike. This evening, beginning at 7:15 p.m., Barbara Coloroso will be speaking at SJHS at the parent involvement committee meeting.

Next Monday marks the beginning of Catholic Education Week, celebrating education in the Catholic faith. It is also our second spirit week of the school year!

Structured like the first spirit week back in September, Monday to Thursday are themed school days, including Decade Day, Look-A-Like Day, Formal Day and Math-

ABBY HALL Jaguar Journal lete vs. Athlete Day. Friday is House Colours Day, where students are encouraged to dress in an assigned colour and compete in groups. There will be many activities and games throughout the day, including a sibling rivalry competition and an Amazing Race, supported by many local businesses throughout downtown Renfrew.

Friday evening is the Starry Night semiformal dance at SJHS. It is the last school dance of this year, so make sure to pick up your ticket.

This yearʼs musical, The Sound of Music, will be performed at 7 p.m. on May 14, 16, 17 and 18. Tickets are available at Breenʼs Insurance, Aikenheadʼs Drugstore and St. Josephʼs High School for $10 each.

The Sound of Music is a classic performance, well known all over the world. It follows the story of a young governess and the family she works for. The SJHS performance will include all of the beautiful songs along with some fantastic choreography! As always, it is a show worth watching!

The Spring Coffee House will be held on the evening of June 5, so mark this date on your calendars. You donʼt want to miss a night full of talented performers and delicious treats. Doors are open to the community, and we encourage everyone to come support the performing arts at SJHS!

I watched as he became engaged with each of them and took those few moments to thank each person in the room for the amazing contribution they are making, not only to their communities, but also to our country. Canada is a wonderful place to live; we are all so privileged and fortunate to call this place our home. I would like everyone to remember how lucky we truly are to live in this exceptional country.

ada shared these words with the group, “All across the land, in cities, towns and small communities, volunteers work altruistically and with commitment, contributing to Canadaʼs becoming a smarter, more caring nation. Let us express our heartfelt thanks for their tireless work, and celebrate and nurture the spirit of giving from sea to sea to sea.”

I had the privilege myself, as a volunteer in the RCI and Renfrew communities to be able to attend His Excellencyʼs speech and it was so exhilarating and amazing to be not only in the same room as such an accomplished, respected figure, but also to be able to shake his hand.

He showed admirable care for each of the volunteers he had a few seconds to interact with individually.

Last week, from April 21 to 27, was National Volunteer Week; a week dedicated to those who spend a tireless amount of hours of their lives every week of the year to make community events happen, help other people in need, work with children, help those who cannot care for themselves, and raise money for amazing causes, among many other wonderful institutions.

These volunteers were celebrated at Algonquin College on April 23, where the Governor General of Canada addressed the group of extraordinary volunteers of our communities. The Right Honourable David Johnston, the Governor General of Can-

1978: Municipal mill rates jump OLGA LEWIS

CONSTRUCTION ON THE NEW FACTORY BEGINS NEXT WEEK: The ground for Mr. Low’s new factory – the Renfrew Electrical Company’s – was staked out on Thursday of this week, and will be broken on Monday morning, when the construction will be commenced. The building will be a factory and foundry, 110 feet long and 40 feet wide, and with a side addition 20 x 40 feet. The main building will bee of two stories. The goods to be manufactured are electrical irons, toasters, heaters, radiators, and other electrical specialties.

SHRINERS: Messrs. J.B. Ferguson, and Dr. McKillop, Rod Fraser, engineers Rowley and T. Canpbell, W.J. Acton and H.W. Airth were in Toronto this week, attending a gathering of the Masonic Shriners. H.J. Airth and Dr. Cameron were also at the party, though not yet part of that section of the mystic order.

From the Old Files County. The Children’s Aid Society became interested in the case and through that organization, suitable clothing was provided for the eight. The parents were pleased with the prospect of getting back to their native land.

LOCALS: Mr. David Mitchell one of several applicants has been made church officer in connection with Trinity-St. Andrew’s.

He succeeds the late Peter Carmichael. — Mr. and Mrs. James Clark and the former’s mother motored a few days ago to Morrisburg meeting there among others Mr. N.W. Davy, now 94 years of age and still bright and active. At one time he was a member of the drug firm of Davy and Clark of Renfrew. — Mr. Leslie Johnston, who for the past five years was a member of the staff of the Russell pharmacy, left today for Kingston where another position awaits him. Mr. Glen Ireton returns to the store from the O.C,P. Toronto, Mr. Johnston made many friends during his stay in town.

MAY 5, 1938 HORTON TOWNSHIP FAMILY AWAY TO OLD IRELAND THERE TO REMAIN: A Horton Township family consisting of parents and six children the youngest child 1½ years, the eldest nine, left a few days ago for Antrim, Ireland from whence came the parents before the birth of any of the children. The father was a never-do-well.

The mother was of little better class, but had little opportunity to show it. For awhile the parents were at Burnstown. One third of the cost for transportation to Ireland is paid for by the township, the rest by Renfrew

MAY 3, 1978 MILL RATE JUMP: Mill rates will rise an average 13 per cent to finance education

costs this year in Renfrew County, but the increase will only be nine per cent for the town of Renfrew. The Township of Admaston will receive a 16.8 per cent increase, Bagot and Blythfield 10.9 per cent increase, Township of Horton 13.1 per cent increase, Township of Ross 13.4 per cent increase, and McNab Township rates go up by 13.5 per cent. The townships of Bromley and Brougham will both receive increases of 12.8 per cent. The average dollar increase on a home assessed at $4,000 will be $32.

A further break down of tax increases for each municipality is included elsewhere in the newspaper.

LOCAL MAN TO HOLD AUCTIONS: Cecil Knight, a graduate of the Western Canada School of Auctioneering, would like to set up an auction service based in Renfrew. Mr. Knight, son of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Knight of Renfrew, is now working for Ontario Hydro in the Brampton area, but would like to return to the Valley if there is enough support for an auction service. “I’d like to set up in the area” he said. “I think there is a need for a good auction service in the area.” He recently completed a twoweek course at the Auction School in Lacombe, Alberta. The intensive course had classes 11 hours a day, six days a week. The students at the school conducted mock auctions and as well as real sales and video tape is used to enable the students to see themselves sell as well as hearing their own bid calling.

Our Lady of Fatima Parish to host lecture on Eastern Christianity own local experience.”

In keeping with the universal Year of Faith, Father Holly thought that this would be an op-

portune time for members of the community to learn more about the Eastern members of the Church.

Father Holly

pointed out that even most Catholics are often surprised to learn about this dimension of the Christian tradition, “Given

where we live, we donʼt often encounter Christians from the Ukrainian, Lebanese or other Eastern Churches, and so even

most Catholics are quite surprised about the richness and diversity of the traditions even within our own Church.”

Father Holly noted that even those who are members of other denominations may find the evening interesting, “any-

one with a love of history will appreciate the development of Eastern Christianity.”

The presentation is being

held on Monday, May 6 at Our Lady of Fatima Church at 7 p.m. p.m. and begins with Vespers (evening prayer) from the Byzan-

tine liturgy and is followed by a brief history by Dr. Butcher.

There is no cost and all are welcome to attend.

Mental health forum: lots of psychologists and lots of insight Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Parents want answers and they got some.

About 70 parents and educators gathered at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School last Thursday to hear six psychologists from the Childrenʼs Hospital of Eastern Ontario talk about mental health issues facing children and youth.

One of the prominent themes of the evening was the recurring recommendation that parents continually connect with their kids, even when those kids arenʼt exacting embracing parent-child communication.

The session was facilitated by the Childrenʼs Hospital of Eastern Ontario and three Renfrew County partners — the Student Support Leadership Team, Renfrew Victoria Hospital and Phoenix Centre, whose executive director Greg Lubimiv emceed the question-and-answer session.

The evening began with six simultaneous, one-hour presentations by psychologists Peter Anderson, Simone Kortstee, Anne-Lise Holahan, Christine Beauregard, Shari Mayman and Phil Ritchie.

Dr. Anderson spoke to a small group of parents, whose children had all experienced concussions. He said what the medical world knows about concussions is largely based on adult

incidents. However, he also pointed out a CHEO-based, cross-Canada study will take a closer look at predictors of function for concussed children who donʼt recover.

Eighty-five per cent of concussions in adults should recover spontaneously in seven to 10 days, but typically recovery is longer for children, said Anderson Parent involvement, he added, is important in their childrenʼs recovery process. Rest is integral to recovery, but parents may have to monitor that for children, whose brains are still developing.

“The current thinking is if we (adults) get a concussion, it should take a week or a week and a half,” said Anderson. “For kids it could be two or three weeks, depending on a number of factors … the severity of the concussion, how they got it, what number of concussion it is.”

The biggest advice for parents of concussed children, said Anderson, is to ensure rest until theyʼre asymptomatic.

Symptoms can also be different for boys and girls. One large study showed girls tend to complain about sensitivity to light and sound, while boysʼ primary symptoms are usually headaches, dizziness and nausea.

But Anderson says girls he has seen in his medical practice have mostly complained about headaches follow-

ing severe concussions in ringette and basketball.

Also, rest does mean rest, therefore the need for parental monitoring. In that regard, Dr. Anderson asked: “Am I really resting when Iʼm sending 500 texts a day?”

Intervention to deal with concussions, said Anderson, can include neuro-psychological assessment to determine the childʼs strengths and challenges, and how to best manage them at home and school and in the playground.

Another speaker was Dr. AnneLise Holahan, with Parenting Your Young Children: Expectations and Reality! She emphasized the importance of natural and immediate consequences, and not delayed punishment, for unacceptable behaviour.

As much as possible, parentsʼ consequences should be natural and logical, she said. For example, if a child canʼt stop misbehaving while touring a museum, the parent must end the tour (or threaten to end it), instead of saying a punishment will happen later.

She also said timeouts should have a limited role in parenting because they donʼt teach a child anything.

Timeouts cut the connection between child and parent, which she said you donʼt want to do.

Use timeouts as a last resort.

Those last resorts, she said, include

when the child is in danger or putting someone else in a dangerous situation.

The psychologist and mother of three children said parents canʼt expect solutions to always be the same.

“Essentially, we try our best as parents, but it doesnʼt matter how good our tool box is. Something that worked yesterday doesnʼt work today.”

Sometimes kidsʼ patterns of behaviour provide clues for nipping problems in the bud, she said. For example, if a child prefers to be on his or her own after recess, then give them a special task at that time.

Later, in the Q&A session, the psychologists addressed written or verbalized questions from the audience.

Dr. Shari Mayman, who presented Body Image and Self-Esteem — Practical Advice and Understanding, provided a soothing reminder in the Q&A session.

Mental illness can manifest itself in unexpected ways, suggested Mayman. As an analogy, she said parents can be upset a vacation to Italy ends up in Switzerland. Instead of begrudging the new destination (i.e., mental issues that werenʼt anticipated) she suggested adults embrace whatʼs positive about that new location, to make life less turbulent for

the child.

One questioner asked how parents can build resiliency in a child with a predisposition to psychosis or schizophrenia.

“We need to be talking about this stuff now, so our kids can talk to us about it. But remember, this isnʼt us and them,” said Dr. Ritchie.

“This isnʼt that just some families have mental illness. One in five, if itʼs not you or not your family, itʼs your friends, so letʼs talk about it. When it comes to resiliency, I think (we have to use) that relationship we have with your children, (by) instilling that sense of optimism and challenging them a little bit. We know children need to fall down and scrape their knees a bit; thatʼs how they learn.”

Donʼt be helicopter parents, who swoop in to ensure their children never hurt themselves, advised Ritchie.

“We need to expose them to some stress, but we want it to be moderate, predictable levels of stress, nothing out of whack, nothing traumatizing.”

In closing, Lubimiv said society is moving into a better time, with mental health issues now on the radar. He also noted the Phoenix Centre is organizing a free presentation, Teen Brain: Under Construction, by speaker Erin Walsh. The Wednesday, May 15 talk runs 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Pembrokeʼs Bishop Smith Catholic High School.

Still going strong: 20th anniversary of quilters guild Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Twenty good years and counting.

Twenty years to the day, more than 60 women gathered in the Renfrew Recreation Centre to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Quilters Guild of Renfrew and Area.

One of the founding members, Dorothy Jackson of Renfrew, brought the sheet showing the signatures of the 23 visitors to her Stewart Street home April 23, 1993, when they established the guild.

Her signature would have made 24 names, of whom many have since died. However, a few remain in the community, including some in local retirement homes, and three who attended the 20th-anniversary meeting last week.

Build the guild, and needed teachers will come, Jackson was told back then. And thatʼs exactly what happened.

Three of the founding members still living attended the April 23, 2013 meeting —Jackson, Norma Howard and Irene Fitzpatrick.

“Thank you, ladies. You are

Three founding members still living attended the April 23, 2013 meeting — Dorothy Jackson, Norma Howard and Irene Fitzpatrick. an inspiration to us,” said guild president Mary Norman.

The guildʼs first name was the A+ Quilters Club of Renfrew and Area, then the Quilters Club of Renfrew and Area, and finally its current name.

“Weʼre pretty well up there as far as guilds go. When you walk in,” said Jackson of the twice-monthly meetings at the recreation centre, “you hear a din, because people are helping each other.”

Jackson says there were no teachers for the guild 20 years ago, but that quickly changed, with the arrival of textile artist Lorraine Davidson and others.

That probably happened, in part, because of the founding groupʼs enthusiasm, figured Jackson.

At first pessimistic, she

says her daughter Joanne convinced her to start the club despite protests that she couldnʼt because she had no teaching qualifications.

Go for it, because teachers will come, her daughter told her. And sure enough they did.

Years later, Jackson says the friendships, fellowship and skills developed have been tremendous for so many members.

“Dorothy had a dream, and thatʼs why youʼre here,” Fitzpatrick told the crowd. “She has enhanced our lives.”

Fellow founding member Norma Howard said itʼs been a great time. “I hope you continue for years and years and years. Itʼs great to see it growing.”

The guild has been particularly strong the past decade, with membership numbers now close to 90.

One proud member is guild vice-president Elaine BazinetSmith, who joined the guild a decade ago when she barely knew how to quilt.

A life-long sewer, she says her quilting skills quickly accelerated.

“Thatʼs one of the great things about the guild — its emphasis on teaching and learning. We have workshops or demonstrations at least once a month.”

Members travel to the 1:15 p.m. meetings every second and fourth Tuesday from such

communities as Douglas, Renfrew, Cobden, Eganville, Shawville and Kanata.

The special anniversary meeting featured the guildʼs regular show-and-tell of quilts made by members.

A few of the more than 30 quilts displayed, and described

And they fill ho-hum moments, With laughter and fun.

Friends are like angels, Without any wings.

Blessing our lives, With the most precious things.
