HELP KIDS BE KIDS... NOT PATIENTS. The best care for CHEO’s patients is truly the heart of the matter DONATE NOW SO YOUR GIFT IS DOUBLED

CHEO is embarking on a project to improve the Catheterization Lab and Interventional Suite. Creating one, technologically advanced suite will help doctors more accurately diagnose, and more gently treat, CHEO patients. Your support will make all of this a reality.

THE IMPACT WILL BE MONUMENTAL!

What an improved Catheterization Lab and Interventional Suite will mean for CHEO: •

Nearly real-time, 3D imaging guiding CHEO’s physicians as they place stents, close inter-cardiac defects (holes in the heart), enlarge cardiac vessels, perform biopsies, insert g-tubes, drain infections, deliver orthopedic care etc.

•

Provide higher quality images with fewer x-rays and the lowest possible radiation.

•

Eliminate the need for surgery in some cases.

•

Provide more accurate imaging to assist in diagnoses.

• Allow

CHEO to perform minimally invasive surgical procedures.

•

Reduce time in hospital and patient discomfort in comparison to older techniques.

Meet CHEO’ CHEO’ss ambassador ambassador:: ZANDER Zander Zatylny is a seven year old cardiology patient at CHEO, and it so happens he loves golf!

Historic flooding hit the Ottawa Valley last week and communities came together to help those in the affected areas. The number of sandbags used in Renfrew County is rising and they are staggering. Volunteers helped fill the bags across the county: in Horton 45,000 bags; 38,000 in the Township of Whitewater Region; in McNab/Braeside 22,000 and in Arnprior the town provided 7,000 sandbags with local businesses providing a significant number as well. Steve Osipenko, acting commander with County of Renfrew Paramedic Service and community emergency management co-ordinator for Horton Township, reported at 6:30 a.m. May 8 “that as of last night the water had stopped rising and had started to slightly recede by approximately one Tiffany Lepack/Metroland centimetre.” In Horton they have 55 primary The Horton sand dome was busy with volunteers filling sandbags for those affected by the historic floodresidences and numerous cottages ing in the Ottawa Valley last week. Approximately 45,000 sandbags were filled by young and old including sandbagged.

Volunteers turn out in droves to help those affected by flood From front page

“The wave action was causing havoc yesterday and may today as well,” said Osipenko. “We have substantial losses but the volunteers have done great work to save or mitigate damage to many properties.” Osipenko says they are extremely thankful for all the volunteers who came out to assist in any way they could and they are starting to see a positive trend. “We have had some disappointment and some great successes. This community should be proud of their effort. We hope things have stabilized but we have to maintain vigilance,” said Osipenko. “Volunteers can offer assistance by calling the Horton office and we will put them on a list. Looking forward there will be as big a need for help in recovery. That can’t be overlooked.” Township officials advise not to remove any existing sandbags until residents have been notified by the township and to keep the berms up even if the water recedes to account for river fluctuations. Horton is also planning a public meeting in the near future to address concerns and issues regarding the flooding. In Whitewater Region water has risen over 21 roads, 13 of them being private and the township continues to

A press release from McNab/Braeside on May 7 said the township had been experiencing severe flooding since May 3, when it started its sandbag operations.

Celebrate

“The most heavily affected areas include Rhoddy’s Bay, Sand Point and Stewart’s Bay where staff, firefighters and volunteers have been combatting flood-related issues for days,” said the release. There are a number of road closures in McNab/Braeside due to the flooding as well at the following locations: Archibald Road, Appleby

Road, Wharf Road, and Bartle Lane and road access has been restricted at other affected areas. As of 9 a.m. on May 8 the McNab/ Braeside Facebook page said they were no longer in need of volunteers to fill sandbags. “Thanks to all of your help and support we’ve been able to accumulate a stockpile of sandbags. At this

time, we do not need help with sandbagging,” said the post on the social media site. In Arnprior a number of homes on Chats Crescent and McLean Avenue have been affected by the flooding along the Ottawa River. As of May 8, Riverview Drive is closed between Lena Street and Leo Lavoie Road due to flooding. A sandbagging station was also set up at the McLean Avenue ball park in Arnprior over the weekend. In Arnprior there are 11 properties in the Chats Crescent/McLean Avenue/ Lena Street area that have been sandbagging their properties. According to town staff there are reports that at least two of these properties have damage in their basements. Due to the flooding the opening of the Arnprior marina will be delayed this year, as repairs will need to be to be made to some of the docks and guard shacks. The water is also close to the lifeguard chair at the beach and staff also anticipated that beach will require significant amount of sand replacement. Osipenko also asks that only those who are volunteering or in need of sandbags attend the sand dome and areas that are flooded. People are encouraged to check their township’s websites, the County of Renfrew and www.municipal511.ca for up-to-date information.

Provincial help for Renfrew County flood victims

Members of the Renfrew County 4H Club were scheduled to have a meeting on Friday, May 5, instead they decided to head to the Horton sand dome, like many other volunteers, and fill sandbags. The group is pictured with the large pile of sandbags they filled for those in need.

On Friday, May 5 the province notified municipalities in the County of Renfrew and the City of Pembroke that it has activated the Disaster Recovery Assistance for Ontarians program for a number of local townships including: Township of Admaston/Bromley, Township of Horton, Township of McNab/Braeside, Town of Renfrew and more. “It will allow them to make an application for damages they have incurred on their primary residence,” said Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski. Arnprior, Greater Madawaska and Petawawa were not included in the initial assistance area, however they were affected over the weekend and are now being considered. “We have identified that there may be severe flooding in other parts of Renfrew County,” said Conrad Spezowka, media relations spokesperson with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs. “We are working with affected municipalities to gather information about flood impacts and will consider expanding the boundary of the activation area if appropriate.” Yakabuski spoke to Bill Mauro, Minister of Municipal Affairs on the morning of May 8. “At the time of the consideration they were not included and that has changed,” said Yakabuski. “I have brought these areas to his attention. We will have to revisit that, I will be readdressing that with the minister as it has changed significantly over the last few days.” Yakabuski says he has never seen flooding like this in his lifetime, adding the volunteer response is amazing. According to the release, water levels are nearly a metre above their 12-year average and at their highest levels since record keeping began in 1947. “The impacts are expected to be costly. Affected individuals, small businesses, farmers and not-for-profit organizations who have experienced property damage or loss as a result of this disaster may be eligible to receive help with expenses,” said the release. “The program applies to a primary residence and its basic contents, or a main business premise. We are closely monitoring the other areas experiencing flooding across the province. The government may activate the program in other parts of the province as flood impacts continue to be assessed in the coming days and weeks.” More information and detailed program guidelines are available at ontario.ca/DisasterAssistance or call toll-free 1-844-780-8925.

water levels and stood ready to help neighbouring municipalities experiencing flooding. Saturday afternoon (May 6) development and works director Mike Asselin said issues in the Town of Renfrew are limited to the overloading of a sanitary sewer, which is affecting the Bank Street area. “Earlier this week we had a couple of basements flooded there because of the heavy rain,” he said. “Crews are working to stay ahead of that so a repeat situation doesn’t occur.” Workers had pumps going and were bypass pumping to try to alleviate any additional flooding, he said. Several streets were closed to facilitate the pumping. “They have hoses running across various streets and they need to keep traffic off those roads,” said Asselin. Affected streets included Lochiel from Lisgar to Raglan and Argyle from Munroe to Raglan and O’Gorman. Officials are also ready to help neighbouring Horton Township, where major flooding occurred. “The municipality is on standby to pro-

vide assistance,” said Asselin. “Some volunteers have already headed to the Horton sand dome to help fill sand bags.” Bonnechere River levels are high, as well, with water covering the cement pier at the former Renfrew beach at the end of Ready Avenue and water roaring towards the dam at the bridge and beneath the Swinging Bridge. “Renfrew Power Generation is passing as much water as possible through there,” said Asselin. “They’re doing everything they can to minimize any flooding upstream” He noted Renfrew’s water quality is fine. “We did have a sewage bypass earlier in the week but infrastructure is working well,” he said. “We’re just continuing to monitor the forecast and anticipate what effects the rainfall will have.” The Renfrew Fire Department had water on offer for those in need. Anyone in Renfrew with immediate floodrelated concerns can call the emergency number 613-432-8166.

Flood safety info for homeowners SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com

With the recent flooding, business owners and agencies are reminding homeowners to be vigilant when it comes to their furnaces and appliances. “We want to get the message out there that once the water has receded, homeowners should make sure they close off their propane tanks and turn off the power to their furnace,” said Kevin McCrea of McCrea’s Climate Care. “Anytime a furnace has been underwater it is definitely not safe to use.” He is prepared to help those in need. “If they don’t know how to shut off the propane tanks or they want us to do and inspection, we’ll do that free of charge,” he said. Anytime an electrical component has been underwater, it can fail, he added. “Worst case scenario – it can leak propane into the build-

ing,” said McCrea. To reach McCrea’s Climate Care in Renfrew, call 613-4329739 or in Arnprior 613-6239223. Hydro One has issued a spring flooding safety alert reminding the public to stay safe by knowing what to do if their home is flooded. “If water rises above your electrical outlets, baseboard heaters or furnace or is near the electrical panel, call 1-800-4341235 to have your power disconnected. If any water damage to electrical equipment occurs, a licensed electrical contractor needs to conduct an evaluation and make any necessary repairs before Hydro One can restore power,” says the release. In case of an extended power outage, here are some items to include in an emergency preparedness kit: • Water (2L per person per day) • Canned or dried food that won’t spoil

• Food and water for pets • Manual can opener • Windup or battery-powered flashlight and radio • Batteries for flashlight and radio • Power bank for your cell phone • Cash • Any medical items you require • Blanket • Candles and matches • First aid kit • Emergency numbers including Hydro One’s power outage hotline, 1-800-434-1235 For essential communications, ensure you have at least one corded phone at home as a cordless phone will not work in a power outage. Hydro One customers can also register to receive proactive personalized text or email alerts about power outages affecting their local area. Customers can register for these alerts online at hydroone.com/myaccount or download the free outage app.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Power of water, community Most Ottawa Valley residents have never seen anything like it. The spring thaw combined with excessive rain has led to rising waters and floods along the Ottawa River and other waterways in Renfrew County and areas of Eastern Ontario and Quebec. The situation has underscored the incredible power of water as roads washed out and homes and cottages sustained major damage. The Province of Ontario has activated the Disaster Recovery Assistance for Ontarians program for a number of municipalities in Renfrew County and in the weeks and months to come there’ll be plenty of work assessing the damage and cleaning up the mess. What this situation has also underscored, however, is the incredible power of community. Whether it’s volunteers showing up in droves to sandbag in Horton, in McNab/ Braeside or in Greater Madawaska, thoughtful souls turning up with hot drinks and food for beleaguered helpers and property owners, or businesses and individuals offering their products and services to help those in need – one thing is clear – we live in an incredibly generous community.

For many, it’s these people, these helpers, who have made all the difference. Whether it was their work to save homes and property, their gifts of sustenance or simply their presence, confirming that in this time of need, no one stands alone – these people are the shining light in this dark story. The flooding comes at a time when the country is marking Emergency Preparedness (EP) Week (May 7-13), a collaborative initiative undertaken by emergency management organizations and Public Safety Canada. EP Week this year encourages Canadians to take three simple steps to become better prepared to face emergencies: know the risks, make a plan and get an emergency kit. If they weren’t before, locals are now fully aware of the importance of being prepared. EP Week is a good reminder for everyone to stay vigilant and prepared for when natural disasters strike. People are encouraged to check their township’s websites, the County of Renfrew and www.municipal511.ca for up-to-date information. More information on emergency preparedness is available at www.getprepared.gc.ca .

Lord Aberdeen opens Renfrew Creamery in June of 1895 In March, 1894 A. A. Wright and Jas Stewart headed a delegation to St. Albans, Vermont to see the Franklin County Creamery, the biggest plant of its kind in North America. They wanted to find out how it operated with the idea of possibly establishing a creamery in Renfrew, as had long been advocated by A. A. Wright. They liked what they saw and decided that such a creamery would be just the thing for Renfrew. After they returned home, they promoted the idea so well that in June the Renfrew Creamery Co. Limited was started with a capitalization of $100,000. James Carswell was elected president, James Craig, secretary and Alex Barnet, James Stewart, Robert Leitch, Robert A. Jamieson, Gregor Mclntyre and James Martin, directors. A. A. Wright was named manager. By fall, they were putting up a large frame building at the corner of what is now Renfrew Ave and Carswell St.

opened. As farm separators had not yet come into use the creamery received whole milk which was put through a power separator and the cream and churner into butter. Farmers around Renfrew took their milk to the creamery. Those at a distance delivered to skimming stations equipped with steam driven separators. The cream so obtained was shipped by wagon or rail to the creamery. In the spring, seven skimming stations had been started. Although the creamery had began in January, it was not formally opened until July 25, l895. Then Lord Aberdeen, Governor General of Canada and Lady Aberdeen came to Renfrew and performed, the ceremony. It was the biggest day, in the history of Renfrew.

ons from miles around. Still others came by CPR, by K and P and by OA and PS railways. Renfrew Creamery was a success from the start. Farmers readily turned to milking more cows and were glad of the market for their milk. Renfrew Creamery butter was of top quality and A. A. Wright was able to find the best markets and sell at the best price. The town people took great pride in the creamery. It was the show place of Renfrew and visitors always were taken to see the big creamery. It was soon the town’s greatest industry and brought so much publicity that Renfrew became known in all parts of Canada as ‘The Creamery Town.’ Republished by Heritage Renfrew (heritagerenfrew.ca) “Preserving Yesterday for Tomorrow” from an article by Harry Hinchley.

10 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, May 11, 2017

Human trafficking charges after highway stop Following an investigation after a traffic stop one male is facing charges of human trafficking. On Tuesday, April 25 a vehicle was stopped on Highway 17 for a driving offence. After speaking with the driver and two passengers the officer arrested a 33-year-old Chateauguay Que. male. He was charged with human trafficking, possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana, and carrying a concealed weapon. He was held in custody for a bail hearing. Arnprior and Renfrew officers investigated six domestic disputes during the past week. One male was charged with three counts of sexual assault, two counts of mischief under $5,000, and one count each of forcible confinement, criminal harassment, uttering threats, domestic mischief and assault; one male was charged with forcible confinement, uttering threats and three counts of domestic mischief. No other criminal offences took place. Break and enter Sometime overnight from Monday May 1 to Tuesday May 2 someone cut the lock and forced open the gate at the Whitewater Region landfill site on Kohlsmith Road in Whitewater Region Township. Once on the site the thief forced open a door to the office and stole a laptop computer. Provincial Const. Sarah Darraugh is investigating. Assault Police are investigating after a male reported being assaulted at the Legion in Cobden on Saturday, May 6. A suspect was iden-

tified and interviewed. Const. Mark Yarmel is continuing to speak to witnesses. Thefts A Sirius satellite radio was stolen from an unlocked vehicle on May 1. The vehicle was parked in a private driveway on Bonnechere Street in Renfrew at the time. There are no suspects. Two bicycles were stolen from a property in Renfrew. Sometime in the overnight hours on Thursday night, May 4, unknown person(s) stole the two bikes from the bike racks on a camper trailer. Both bikes were Norco brand, one ladies style mountain bike, and a menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catmandu model. There are no suspects. Impaired driver At approximately 11:40 p.m. Saturday, April 29 officers were travelling on Highway 17 near Calabogie Road when they observed a vehicle swerve into the ditch and roll over. The male driver was able to get exit the vehicle. Further investigation revealed he had been drinking and he failed a roadside alcohol screening test. Following further breath tests a 20-yearold Pembroke man was charged with impaired driving and driving over 80mgs. He was released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew on May 31. Const. J.P. St. Cyr investigated the incident. Fraud An investigation has started into fraudulent cheques being cashed in Arnprior. One victim contacted police to report several cheques fraudulently written and cashed in

Arnprior. There is a suspect. Beware of a new delivery type of scam. The suspect will contact the victim to arrange a delivery. When they arrive they deliver a gift basket and advise there is a fee to be paid, which must be by credit or debit card. Their debit machine is capable of capturing your credit card info and PIN. Do not accept any gift if you cannot verify who the sender was or if you must make a payment to accept the gift. Above all, the only time you should give out any personal credit/debit card information is when you yourself initiated the purchase or transaction. Drug charges On Thursday, May 4 at approximately 11:48 p.m. OPP officers stopped a vehicle on Highway 17 after a complaint was received about the driving of the suspect vehicle. The male driver was arrested for possession of marijuana. Following a search of the vehicle the male was charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking.

Renfrew Collegiate Institute students return from European adventure TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com

It’s a trip they will not soon forget. Fourteen students from Renfrew Collegiate Institute (RCI) and 60 students in total from the Renfrew County and District School Board recently returned home from a whirlwind historical trip across Europe. The students travelled to Belgium, France and the Netherlands, and were able to visit a number of First and Second World War battlefields, including Vimy Ridge, nearly a century after the latter’s monumental battle. “It was powerful to go to Vimy Ridge,” said Grade 11 student Hayley Roderick. “You see the pictures and I never thought I would get to experience it. It’s so touching.” She was particularly moved by one statute. “There was a grieving mother and she lost all of her sons and I just started to cry,” said Roderick. During the trip, they were able to

Renfrew Collegiate Institute students recently went on a trip to Europe, including a stop at Juno Beach, pictured are: Stephen Young, Reid Hall, Griffin Campbell, Morgan Virgin, Makenna Moran, Maddie Stroud, Brendan Barber, Lauryn McCauley, Cameron McCallum, Cassie Gibbons, Elizabeth Wright, Hayley Roderick, Micheal Wright, Morgan Wilson, Elizabeth MacFarlane and Abby Emon.

visit a number of cemeteries and saw 10 gravestones of soldiers who had attended RCI. “It was really sad,” said Grade 10 student Makenna Moran. “They were only a couple of years older than us.” For Abby Emon the experience really brought history out of the pages of a book, especially seeing a bit of RCI at an Abby they visited. RCI student Teddy Miller was killed during the war at this Abby, and in a monument to him you could see a picture of the school in the background. “It really, really hit home, seeing that’s the school I go to,” said Emon. “I was in awe.” Seeing Vimy Ridge was very moving for Emon. “You learn about it in history class, but when you are actually there and get a chance to see it, it was crazy,” said Emon. “It was foggy, but you could still see forever, it was neat.” The battle was not easily forgotten either. “There were parts you could not

walk on because it was not cleared of bombs,” said Emon. “It’s amazing that after all of these years there are still explosives there,” added Roderick. For Moran, Vimy Ridge brought on mixed emotions. “You are thinking it’s so cool to be there, but it’s also really sad. The Canadians won this really important battle and it makes you proud to live here,” she said. Emon also called walking on Juno Beach a strange feeling. “It was nice going there now. But thinking about a lot of people who died right there on Juno Beach, was really sad.” Moran had mixed feelings about Paris because of safety concerns and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were set to visit the next day so there were a lot of security fences up at the Eiffel Tower. “I thought it was small, said Emon. “I was expecting it to be as tall as the CN Tower.” “I am glad I got to experience Paris,” said Roderick. “Especially the Eiffel Tower, it was beautiful.”

Remembering workers killed on the job

The National Day of Mourning, April 28, is a day set aside to remember those killed on the job. The Renfrew and District Labour Council held a solemn service at O’Brien Park to honour those and to advocate for a safer work place for all workers. Dave Lipton, United Steelworkers representative, top was the guest speaker. He spoke passionately during the service to the large crowd, including students from Renfrew Collegiate Institute. Right: Mary Wright’s son Jamie was electrocuted on the job on Dec. 4, 2001. She lays a wreath in his honour with his son Nicholas Wright.

RVH’s new Quality Improvement Team was established to support the provincial Access to Kidney Transplant & Living Donation project. Some of the members include: standing left to right: Steve Lyons (patient advisor), Roger and Vickie Remus (patient and family advisors), Arlene Deloughery, RN, Peritoneal Dialysis Program. Seated, from left, are Joanne James, medical secretary, Krista Helferty, RVH social worker, Linda Papineau, RN, Joanne Vandekemp, medical secretary, and Janice Verch Whittington, RN, clinical manager Nephrology.

RVH chosen for first wave of kidney transplant initiative Renfrew Victoria Hospital (RVH) is among the first 13 sites in the province selected to implement a strategy to increase living donor kidney transplants. The Ontario Renal Network (ORN) and Trillium Gift of Life Network (TGLN) are working together to ensure “there is an integrated, person-centred collaborative kidney care continuum in Ontario,” says the letter received on March 1 from Dr. Amit Garg, provincial medical lead, Ontario Renal Network. The aim of the collaboration is to increase the annual rate of living donor kidney transplants by 20 per cent by 2021, and it will involve all 26 renal programs in Ontario, with the remaining 13 sites joining two in September 2019. Dr. Amtul Musawir, nephrologist and RVH’s lead physician on the Access to Kidney Transplant & Living Donation project, says the team is excited to be a part of this provincial initiative. “We have always been passionate about kidney transplant. It is truly a team effort, involving all levels of patient care. From identifying suitable patient to booking various tests, organizing appointments and arranging transportation. Our efforts are rewarded when our patients are able to avoid dialysis and lead a normal life after transplantation.” She adds: “This particular initiative will provide education and remove barriers from living kidney donation. We can help a lot more patients if they can get kidney from family and friends rather than waiting on a list for deceased donor.” Arlene Deloughery, RVH Peritoneal Dialysis Program, explains: “Kidneys provided by living donors are associated with better outcomes for our patients. Our role in this initiative will be to increase awareness for

not only our patients who are facing renal replacement therapy, but also to educate the general population about being a living donor. Our nephrology team will work on this initiative to help patients through this process, such as overcoming obstacles like ‘the big ask’, and the advantages of a living kidney donation. With the use of patient ambassadors as part of our process, the personal testimonies of other patient experiences will hopefully give a perspective to our patients that the health team cannot. Through this project our goal, as always, is to provide the best quality of life for our patients. We are excited to have been chosen for the opportunity.” The strategy includes initiatives in the areas of quality improvement, education (and education toolkits), patient and family support and engagement, and performance monitoring. Some members of RVH’s Quality Improvement Team are: Arlene Deloughery, RN, Peritoneal Dialysis Program leader, Joanne James, medical secretary, Joanne Vandekemp, medical secretary, Linda Papineau, RN, JoanAnn Purcell, RN, Pembroke satellite unit, and Janice Verch-Whittington, RN, clinical manager Nephrology—participated in a Quality Improvement Training Session in Toronto on March 27–28. Patient and family advisors Roger and Vickie Remus are also very important members of the team, providing input and sharing their experiences from their perspective. “Vickie and I were pleased to be included on the RVH team and mix with other participants in the new provincial strategy session. We are looking forward to sharing experiences and local awareness about kidney transplantation, within the program, with any and all who will listen,” says Roger.

Licence granted The County of Renfrew has been granted a licence from the Ministry of Education to operate a home childcare agency under the name of County of Renfrew Licensed Home Child Care. The decision to apply was made to address the loss of potential childcare spaces for 18 children in Renfrew County. There were two other home childcare agencies that were licensed to provide this service within the County of Renfrew; however one of those agencies had indicated to the county that it would be closing its program as of January 2017. The county and that agency worked together to obtain a partnership agreement with an alternate agency in Renfrew County to provide a licensed family home service. However, no other licensed childcare agency expressed an interest in filling this gap, resulting in the risk of 18 children ending up without licensed child-care spots. The County of Renfrew Child Services division will be providing the oversight of up to five licensed childcare homes in rural Renfrew County for 2017. The county will employ a licensed home visitor to check that the home is safe for children before and after children are enrolled. Licensed home visitors also ensure caregivers are following provincial requirements and the agency’s policies and procedures. Chair of the County of Renfrew Social Services Committee, Coun. Debbie Robinson, said, “The county is very pleased to have received approval from the Ministry of Education to create this home child-care agency. This initiative will provide children access to affordable, quality licensed child-care and help to give them the best start in life while supporting families here in our county.”

Going hungry for the greater good

On April 6 and 7, St. Joseph’s Catholic High School was home to a record-breaking 100 student participants in the annual 24-hour fast. This year’s 24-hour fast acted as a fundraiser for Renfrew Victoria Hospital and Renfrew and District Food Bank. All proceeds were split 50-50 to both organizations. With a grand total of $2,550 raised, each organization received a well-deserved sum of $1277.50. This money was all raised by the students involved, with all participants donating at least $20 each. These students then fasted from 12 p.m. Thursday to 12 p.m. Friday, enjoying a variety of games and free time after school Thursday, and a delicious, hard-earned potluck Friday afternoon. The event was organized by Dr. Jason Dedo, SJHS Chaplain, JP RVH developmental co-ordinator Hannah MacMillan, second from left, Cassanto, former pastoral minister, and Kathleen Carty, current pastoral minister. St. Joseph’s is very proud accepted the cheque for RVH. She is joined by JP Cassanto, Kathleen of all those who participated and donated towards such great causes. From left are Kathleen Carty, JP Cassanto, Linda Smith (food bank vice president), Father Kerry Brennan, and Brennan Trainor. Carty, Hannah MacMillan, and Brennan Trainor.

Renfrew author Michelle Freemark self-publishes new children's book TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com

What would happen if you were a red crayon born into a family of greens? Renfrew’s Michelle Freemark explores the struggles her red crayon experiences in Emerald’s Big Discovery with a heart-warming message of love and acceptance. The story starts out with Emerald and her family (of green crayons) who want her to excel at being green. “They are trying to teach her to be green because they love her and they want her to be her best green,” says Freemark with a smile. They try to teach her what greens colour; like trees and grass but all she can do is colour red. So they decide to send her to the Shamrock School to learn how to be green, things do not go well there, but after a clever and fun twist she discovers how fabulous it is to be red. Freemark says the book is about acceptance and tolerance, which is a big topic in today’s society. On April 24, she read her book to all of the students at Our Lady of Fatima in Renfrew and explained how a small-town girl from Renfrew went on to publish a book. Freemark is a retired dental hygienist who has always enjoyed writing including a blog for adults on love and tolerance. She was born in raised in Renfrew

Tiffany Lepack/Metroland

Michelle Freemark, born and raised in Renfrew and now residing in Almonte, recently published her first children’s book Emerald’s Big Discovery. but now calls Almonte home. The idea for her book came to her two years while lying in bed. She says the beginning, middle and end just showed up. When she explained what happened people encouraged her to write it down. She next searched the Internet

22 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, May 11, 2017

looking for ‘How do you publish a book?’ “I started looking for children’s publishers. I sent out more than a dozen emails and no one answered me,” said Freemark. While at a craft fair in Almonte she met Sam Hamilton who recently pub-

lished a book. The two started chatting on the process and Hamilton suggested she self-publish it. So that’s what she decided to do and she discovered every book in Canada needs an ISBN # on the back of every book. “It was a lot of trail and error,” said

Freemark. “It was a challenging experience but it was fun.” She started working on the book in June 2015 and it was finished in December 2016. In early December Dandelions Foods in Almonte had a launch party for her. “That was really exciting and surreal,” said Freemark. “The whole thing has felt like it had nothing to do with me. I felt I was given this story and it was my job to get it out there.” She says she has received lots of congratulations. “It wasn’t me, I didn’t write it, I just put it on paper.” Her niece Jessica Hamilton helped with the graphic design and Freemark said she was just phenomenal. The Calabogie Library has a few copies of the book. In Renfrew it is at A Sense of Country and it’s also at the Arnprior Book Shop. She hopes that young and old know they can accomplish their dreams. “I believed in my idea and I ended up with a book, it’s a good message for kids growing up in a small town,” said Freemark. “A kid with an idea who thinks they could never do that, yes they can!” “All of us can relate to being that kid who couldn’t fit in or felt unworthy,” said Freemark. “If I can talk to little kids who feel so different I want them to know they have a special gift. They are all special and have something to contribute to this world, there is more than one way to be.”

May is Community Living Month and Renfrew is celebrating part of our communities. CLRCS employees participated in the McDonald’s McHappy Day Event on May 3 with proceeds going to CHEO and the Ronald McDonald House. We held a successful Annual Family & Friends Spring Dinner at Renfrew Legion on May 3 with proceeds from this event going to both Community Living and the Royal Canadian Legion in Renfrew. Individuals and staff from Community Living joined other volunteers at the Horton Township sand dome to help those in flood areas be prepared by assisting in filling bags of sand.

Micksburg Twins open men’s fastball season The Micksburg Twins will begin defence of their Greater Ottawa Men’s Fastball League title on May 11 when they host the Ottawa Valley A’s in their season opener. It will be the first of 18 games the Twins will play in the regular season, including three doubleheaders. Highlights of the schedule include two visits by the Kars Aces to Micksburg on May 25 and June 29 in a rematch of the two teams who met in last year’s championship series. On Saturday, June 3 the Twins will host a doubleheader with I4C Victory from Manotick and on Thursday, June 22 the Twins will host a twin bill with the Stittsville 56er’s. Led by the pitching tandem of Joran Graham and Cory Costello, the Twins will again face tough competition in the seven team league. Most Twins games will be begin at 8:30 p.m. with doubleheaders starting at 7 p.m. The Twins will play their last home game of the regular season on June 29

before ending their season with a sixgame road trip, concluding with their season finale against the Ottawa Valley A’s on Aug. 10. All seven teams will make the post season with the top team in the regular season receiving a bye in the first round of the playoffs. The other six teams will be matched up and play a best of three semi-final series. The three teams that advance will then join the club that led the regular season standings in a double-knockout tournament that will be staged throughout the week and conclude on the weekend of Sept. 7, 8 and 9. Twins captain Jamey Mick says it won’t be easy to win another championship, but the Twins are confident they will again field a club that can compete with the best teams every night. “It is a very competitive league with excellent pitching. We will again have a good mix of players who have experience playing in big games and that’s

really important once you get into the playoffs,” says Mick. Micksburg has been a hot bed for men’s fastball for many years and has produced several players who have competed in provincial and national championship tournaments. A new recreational men’s fastball league is also being launched this summer in Micksburg that should help create more interest in the sport and provide younger players with an opportunity to develop their skills. Admission to Twins games is free. Here is the full home schedule for the Twins 2017 season: Thursday, May 11 vs. Ottawa Valley A’s 8:30 p.m. (home opener), Thursday, May 25 vs. Kars Aces 8:30 p.m., Saturday, June 3 vs. I4C Victory (Doubleheader-Times TBA), Thursday, June 8 vs. Quyon Flyers 8:30 p.m., Thursday, June 15 vs. Fitzroy Harbour 8:30 p.m., Thursday, June 22 vs. Stittsville 56er’s (doubleheader starts at 7 p.m.) and Thursday, June 29 vs. Kars Aces 8:30 p.m.

Then they won with a 4-0 shutout in the final against the Casselman Pirates. The following weekend the vipers won the gold cup in the Gatineau AAA tournament held April 21 to 23. They again got a bye to the semi-finals where they beat the Myers Snypers 6-1. They then beat Ottawa Pheonix 3-1 in the final game to win the gold. The team played very well and went 6-0 outscoring the other teams 38-6. Three local Renfrew players had a great two tournaments - forwards Tavvi Stevenson, Thomas Narezny and goalie Denver Runtz.

First ladies basketball victory of the year for the Lumber Jills ROB WARREN

Both Midtown Flooring and the Lumber Jills had a tough time finding the basket on a consistent basis in ladies basketball action. Midtown squeaked out a 24-18 victory. No player scored more than six points. Midtown was two of 12 from the charity stripe. In another game, Midtown exploded offensively, scoring a season high 55 points. The Basket Brawlers only managed 20. Sarah Dougherty led the charge with 17 points. The Renfrew Optometrists used a 12-0 run on either side of the half to break an 11-11 deadlock. The Basket Brawlers countered with a 9-0 run of their own to pull within three with five minutes remaining. That was as close as they would get. The Optometrists pulled away to win 29-22. Raili Quathamer had a game high 11 points. Frances/Lemke Co-operators doubled the Lumber Jills 20-10 in the first half. They extend-

ed their lead slightly to take the contest 32-19. Lauren Enright and Kristen McMahon each had seven points in the first half and Wendy Moon took over for the second half, scoring eight. The Reunions took almost nine minutes to score their first basket, but it moved them into a tie with Lumber Jills. A subsequent 9-2 Reunion lead didn’t last long. The Jills fought back to take a 16-14 lead with eight minutes left. They never lost the lead and claimed their first victory of the year 22-20. Jenna Barr had the hot hand with 10 points. Midtown Flooring caught the Reunions on an off night. They only scored 13 points, nine fewer than any game over the past six years for which I have records. Midtown, meanwhile, was at the top of their game with crisp passing followed by finding the hoop with regularity for 46 points. Jill Barr and Sarah Dougherty led the parade with 14 and 11 points respectively.

Dragonfly Golf kicks off season BILL RAINBOTH General manager, Dragonfly Golf Links

Happy spring everyone! Spirits are high at Dragonfly Golf Links despite one of the wettest springs on record. This past week we had scheduled our “all new” Monday Night Men’s League, Tuesday and Wednesday Men’s League, and Thursday Ladies League. Monday was cancelled, and only a handful of teams weathered less than ideal conditions on Tuesday and Wednesday. Congrats to Tom Hyland and Rheal Gilbert for being closest to the pin on Wednesday night. Home Health and Medical Supplies supplied the low round of the week with a score of 31. Open Mic with Mike McCormick kicked off on Monday May 1. The next one is Monday, May 29, and then the last Monday of the month going forward. Everyone is always welcome. Thursday was easily the nicest day of the week, and nobody was more

deserving than our Ladies League. This year, Thursday nights have doubled in size, and Dragonfly could not be more excited about it! Chef Cecille Smith “wowed” us with her culinary talents featuring a delicious stuffed chicken breast. Scoring in the first two weeks of Ladies League will be used to assign handicaps to all teams with hopes of levelling the playing field for future team competition. Closest to the pin winners were Jen Kunopaskie, Kayla Fraser, Shannon Fraser, and Linda Kidd. Dragonfly is celebrating Mother’s Day this coming weekend. For the first time ever we are offering a Mother’s Day Brunch, as well a promotion where all mothers play golf for free! Reservations and tee times are required and can be arranged by calling the pro shop at 613-432 3838. Our thoughts are with those struggling with floods, and damage caused by the rain this spring. Hoping for better days ahead.

Golf Getting you back on the greens

Country star Jason Blaine to host charity golf tournament/concert Canadian Recording Artist Jason Blaine is ready to rock his hometown again this year with another star studded line-up of Canada’s top country music performers joining him on the stage at his charity concert in Pembroke. Blaine has announced Aaron Pritchett, Madeline Merlo, and the River Town Saints, as well as the returning house band, the Western Swing Authority will be his special celebrity guests for his concert fundraiser on June 13. The artists will also participate in day two of the charity event, a golf tournament held at the Pembroke Golf Club on June 14. “Our event continues to attract some of the best musicians in Canadian country music and I can’t thank these artists enough for being willing to give their time to support our charity,” says Blaine. “Without them, we wouldn’t be able to attract the great community sponsors who have helped us raise more than $200,000 over the past three years,” adds Blaine.

Pritchett is known for bringing ‘rock energy’ to his concerts and has had several hits, including: “Big Wheel,” “Hold My Beer,” “Dirt Road In ‘em,” and his latest top 10 hit song, “When a Momma’s Boy Meets a Daddy’s Girl.” His most recent album, The Score was nominated for a Juno Award in 2017. Madeline Merlo is one of the fastest rising female artists in Canadian country music with recent hits such as “War Paint” and “Over and Over,” which was written by Blaine. In 2015, Merlo received the Rising Star award from the Canadian Country Music Association and a year later she was nominated for Female Artist of the Year. The Ottawa Valleys’ own, River Town Saints first appeared at Jason’s charity concert last year following the release of their hit song “Cherry Bomb.” Their most recent single, “Bonfire” was released in January and is their first top 10 radio

single, helping the band raise their profile on the national stage. Jason Blaine established his own charity in an effort to give back to his hometown by raising money for worthy causes. This year, the funds raised will help set up a new endowment fund in Jason’s name to support students in financial need at Algonquin College’s Waterfront Campus in Pembroke. The Pembroke and Area Boys’ and Girls’ Club will also continue to be

HOME, GARDEN & RENOVATION Wood decks: durable and affordable Among all of the flooring options available on the market for decks, terraces and patios, treated lumber is undeniably one of the more popular choices, mainly for its reasonable cost and long lifespan. Often made from pine or spruce, these pressure-treated wooden planks are equally suitable for ground-level patios and elevated balconies. Are you looking to complement your yard with a beautiful terrace? Treated wood might be exactly the building material youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for. Easy to cut, carve and paint, treated lumber is the perfect choice of material for a terrace that is unique in design and resistant to insects and rot. In addition to its superior resistance, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also very easy to work with. For example,

to preserve the natural beauty of the surface, you can stain or paint the wood in a colour of your choosing. Furthermore, to ensure your deck remains in prime condition for years to come, you can apply a transparent, waterproof sealant available at any hardware store. Contrary to popular belief, wood is actually one of the more eco-friendly options available for deck flooring. Given their exceptional durability, wooden planks limit the number of trees chopped down each year. Additionally, wood is a reusable and biodegradable material that is highly regulated by environmental agencies worldwide. To build a timeless wooden deck of the highest quality, entrust your project to a professional carpenter!

Many luxurious apartments in high-profile metropolitan cities around the world have a magnificent green corner in their yards or on their balconies. Synthetic grass terraces are becoming a coveted trend among homeowners with an eye for modern design. Not convinced? Once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the chance to admire the latest examples of synthetic grass available on the market, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll surely have a more favourable opinion! Forget about those tacky artificial grass car-

pets characteristic of the 70s and 80s. Today, the resemblance between real and synthetic varieties is uncanny. In fact, the resemblance is so strong that many homeowners willingly install synthetic turf elsewhere in their yard. Boasting a rich green hue that never yellows, artificial grass looks beautiful around spas and pools. Highly resistant, hypoallergenic and very easy to maintain, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also perfect for those tight spaces or areas cast in shade.

Synthetic grass balconies are all the rage

Some day we hope to meet her Some day we know not when To clasp her hand in the better land Never to part again.

DEATH NOTICE

LUCIA DOREEN “Girlie” Lucia Doreen Lloyd died on May 1, 2017 in her 96th year at Groves Park Lodge Long Term Care Centre in Renfrew, Ontario. Predeceased by her husband Garth in 2007 and son Graham in 2008. She lives on through her son Geoffrey (Marian) of North Bay, daughter Marilyn (Bruce Lange) of Douglas and daughter-in-law Suzanne Lloyd of Richards Landing; grandchildren Mandy Whelan (Jared) of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Colin Lloyd (Kristine Donovan) of Tampa, Florida, David Lloyd of Picton, Stefan Lange (Rebecca Millar) of London and Sabine Lange (Matthew Morin) of Elgin, Texas; and great grandchildren Devan and Connor Whelan, Veronica Lloyd, Matthew and Andrew Lloyd and Jacob and Autumn Lange. Born in England, she arrived in Canada with her family on May 31, 1948 at Pier 21, Halifax, Nova Scotia. She lived in Deep River, Ontario for almost 60 years, enjoying curling and later rug hooking and spent 30 years wintering in Florida. She was very computer-literate and enjoyed making greeting cards and listening to music with her iPod. Garth was always in her thoughts although his heavenly duties did not include making the tea as he had every day during their 66 years of marriage. In her final years she longed to return to “England’s green and pleasant land”, so Bon Voyage Mum - you are free to join Dad and settle wherever your spirit wishes. Professional arrangements were entrusted to Anderson Funeral Home in Renfrew. Her memory will be honoured as we gather for family picnics this summer. The family thanks the staff at Quail Creek Retirement Residence and Groves Park Lodge for their kind care.

LECLAIRE, Nathan November 21, 1981 to May 13, 2009 In loving memory of our Dear Son, Brother and Uncle. It is eight years now Nathan and I need you to know that as the years go by, you will never be forgotten. You are in my daily thoughts and prayers and always will be. I heard your voice last month. You left a message on our Voice Mail before you left us. I asked your Dad to save that Voice Mail, in hopes that I would some day have the courage to listen to it. I finally did after all those years. Oh Nath! - to hear your voice! For a brief moment in time it felt like you were still here, just on the other end of the phone like it used to be. Words could not express my emotions! On a lighter note, Ryan and Devin are doing great and of course, Charlie, the Love of my Life is also doing fine, other than growing up way too fast. He will be nine this summer. Katie and Heidi are no longer with us! Miss them so much, however we did get another Boston Terrier puppy named Sally. She is so adorable!. Your Dad is fine and back to work, a much needed break after that long winter of bonding! Lol! I haven’t been to cottage yet, just waiting on our partners in crime to come from North Bay. We stayed at the cottage for the hunt last year. Your presence was everywhere Nath! Your Dad, Ryan and Devin all got the Bucks you chased out to them! Hope you and Gramps are having a wonderful after life! We love you Nathan, even in death we love you so much! Wrap your arms around them Lord and let them know they are loved until we get to your land above. Mom, Dad, Ryan, Devin & Charlie

Two and Three Mile cousins knew how to cause a stir Getting invited to a birthday party didn’t happen very often. Birthdays, if celebrated at all, were left to the family. And if your birthday was close to Easter, or Christmas, like mine was, all you got was cake with well-used candles on it. There would be no money for even the simplest of presents.

Presents weren’t expected either. And if one was offered, it would be something simple like a little fancy hanky taken from a Christmas present, received from a rich aunt months before, or a toy watch from a box of crackerjacks.

bunch. It didn’t take long for the boys to separate from the girls, going outside to play tag, shoot tin cans off the fence with their slingshots, or sitting on the pump platform playing marbles. Cora’s friends elected to stay inside, never taking our eyes off the big mile high cake in the centre of the kitchen table. It seems to me, all we were there for was to eat cake and go home with a butterscotch sucker. Cora’s mother eventually went to the back door, banged a wooded spoon on the bottom of a tin pot, and the boys tore into the kitchen and with us girls circled the huge table that easily sat Two-Mile-Herman’s complete family. It was cake time, which to me was far more exciting than just sitting around doing nothing. Because inside the cake we knew there would be a few coins wrapped in wax paper, including a whole dime. No one knew who would get the dime. It depended entirely on where Cora’s mother cut into the cake. I was told by Mother before I left home that if I was the lucky one, I was to hand the dime over to Cora, which I didn’t think the least bit fair. Well, I needn’t have worried, because Three-Mile-Herman got it, and that’s when the fight started. Two-Mile told his cousin to hand it over to his sister Cora, but ThreeMile already had it in his pocket, and announced he’d be leaving because his Father would be waiting for him

at the Northcote Side Road. Two-Mile threw himself at Three-Mile and they went rolling on the kitchen floor barely missing the cook stove. The rest of us sat around the kitchen table eating cake as if a free-for-all between the two cousins was an everyday occurrence, which it

was. Cora’s mother simply went to the pump in the kitchen, pumped out a dipper of water, and threw it over the two boys, which brought the fight to a sudden halt. She just stood there with the dipper in her hand, and her arm stretched out. Three-Mile knew what she was after, and he pulled the wax paperwrapped dime from his pocket and handed it over, which was then handed over to Cora. Cora licked the cake off the wax paper, and tore upstairs with the dime to put it away for safekeeping. The party was over. Everett was waiting for me outside with the buggy, and I went home wondering why anyone bothered to have a birthday party in the first place. I would never be lucky enough to find a dime in my piece of cake, and besides, we had cake every Sunday, so that was no treat either. I talked it over with my sister Audrey, and we both decided celebrating birthdays at home with only the family was far better than getting all dressed up, just to come home with a butterscotch sucker!

Eager players turn out in spades for bridge MIKE NAGRODSKI

The Renfrew Bridge Club saw 10-and-a-half tables of eager players turn out for the May 3 session. No one can say if it was the lovely spring day, or if there was some mysterious additive in Ruth Grant’s coffee, but everyone seemed to have had a very optimistic view of the cards that they held. Fully, 15 slam contracts were attempted over the course of the afternoon. Unfortunately, many were simply not meant to be, as only eight of the slam contracts were successful. Well named, board #13 was definitely not a good place to be for the East-West pairs. The board was played eight times, by East-West, in NT contracts and not a single pair

managed a positive score. Some would say that it’s that kind of challenge that keeps bridge players coming back to the table again and again. Congratulations to the May 3 winners: North – South: 1: Ernie Berndt - Eric Brown 2: Bernadette Culhane - Tom Culhane 3: Carol Sulpher - David Sulpher East – West: 1: Terry Gamble - Jocelyne Tetrault 2: John Goshue - John David 3: Ted Ambridge - Mike Nagrodski

Book seeks to stack the financial deck in reader’s favour DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

When it comes to personal finance, many Canadians feel the deck is stacked against them. Experts dominate the stocks industry, the rich get richer, and everyone else continues to rack up debt. Enter Kevin Ikeno, a father of five with 15 years experience in the financial services industry. (He recently moved home to Renfrew to become branch manager of an Arnprior bank.) His new book, Stacking the Deck, reveals the current financial landscape and what he calls an under-

standable path to bettering your position and future. “Finance isn’t a scary topic, even if your finances are a mess,” he said. “Anything is possible if you work hard enough.” Ikeno’s Eureka moment came during an argument between his toddlers over a card game. His ‘cards’ include the right knowledge, tools, resources, and a sound plan. However, first up is conquering the fear to confront one’s financial situation. Too many people, he said, rarely evaluate the money coming in and going out, let alone discuss it with a partner or expert.

Many clients have told Ikeno that he explains their situation using clear and concise terminology. That also prompted the book. “Personal finance is one of the most important aspects of everyone’s life, and yet so many people tell me that they don’t understand it or know where to start,” he said. “Stacking your financial deck is pretty simple once you know how to play the cards.” One way to bring in more income is to spend more. Ikeno tells the story of his parents who asked him about reward points. He helped set them on the path that eventually paid off in gifts. “I went to their place for Christmas and my father took me aside to say, ‘Thank you. Your advice meant Christmas was free this year, the gifts and food.’ Reward points accumulated from paying for staples like gasoline can really add up.” He also suggests monitoring credit cards on a daily or weekly basis. There is no need to wait for a surprise at the end of the month. Paying them down little by little throughout the month is more manageable, he said.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, finding what you desire when you haven’t made your own mind up aboutwhat you want can be challenging. Some soul-searching can probably come up with something promising.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Going back to school might be the best path for you at this time, Leo. Although this might stretch your schedule to its limits, you’ll find the time if it’s important to you.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 There are a few friends who have stuck by your side through thick and thin, Sagittarius. When one comes knocking at your door for help, give this person the support he or she needs.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Nagging doubts about an investment may be trying to tell you something, Taurus. Hold off on any bold moves until you feel more confident with parting ways with cash.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Volunteering can bring more meaning to your life, Virgo, especially if you feel yourself struggling right now. Giving back can sometimes make your problems seem small.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you can find a solution to a problem even if the answer eludes you for the time being. Don’t overthink what has to be done. This is a time to act.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, if you have already committed to something, see it through. The end result may be something unexpected. Others are anxious to see what you can accomplish.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, trips may seem like they have to be large undertakings, but that’s not always the case. Try for a short jaunt somewhere and enjoy the scenery.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Take the emotional plunge, Cancer. Someone special needs to hear about it pronto. This is not a week to clam up, but rather one to share your feelings and let others in.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 The time has come to spend less time thinking and more time doing, Scorpio. Turn a page in your life and you’ll likely be satisfied with the results.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you always have time to do something for yourself, but you might need to put that on hold right now and focus on others. Forge ahead even if you are met with resistance.
