Special opening for education centre’s Pine Pavilion Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Lacing up in Tom’s memory.

– Page 33 –

News - The Shaw Woods Outdoor Education Centre is a work in progress, but the official opening of its Pine Pavilion last Friday (May 9) was an indication that the centre is off to a healthy start.

The volunteer-based SWEOC hosted

the official opening of the pavilion that was built late last year by Dan Albert of Coyote Log Homes near Wilno.

Standing 20 feet tall, and measuring about 25 by 50 feet, the red and white pine structure is a tasteful, yet iconic introduction to the centre’s more than 600 acres.

That property includes about 22 kilometres of marked trails, some with

85 botanical on-site descriptions of local plants, and 125 acres of old growth hardwoods that have never been cut.

The property – located on Bulger Road near Highway 41 – is also the birthplace of Herb Shaw & Sons owner Herb Shaw, who with son and vicepresident Dana, were among invited guests for the outdoor centre’s news conference. The official opening of

Pine Pavilion, that serves as a shelter for students and other visitors, was an opportunity to recognize the centre’s numerous supporters.

Contributions, including financial donations of more than $200,000 and many donations of time and products, have helped make the outdoor centre a reality after discussions began in 2010.

Shaw Woods Outdoor Education Centre Continued from front

About 130 acres is now leased by Herb Shaw & Sons (aka Shaw Woods) for a dollar a year to the board of directors of SWEOC, while the centre has access to another 500 acres for trails and educational planning.

Recognition was given to bronze, silver and gold sponsors, but no financial details were mentioned.

Partners of SWOEC include the Renfrew County Catholic and public school boards, which pay an annual fee to support visits to the outdoor centre. There, the wide variety of guided-tour topics presented by volunteers includes birds, trees, plants, animal habitat, aquatic studies, forestry and survival shelters.

The centre has two paid staff positions, including educational co-ordinator Lyndsey Mask. But otherwise the centre operates with a large group of volunteers from across the county, says chairman Wayne Remus.

By the end of this school year, more than 3,500 students will have visited the centre.

Also, pilot projects underway call for visits by every student from St. Michael’s Catholic School in Douglas and Eganville & District Public School, with a long-term goal of having visits from every elementary and high school student in Renfrew County.

BRONZE, SILVER, GOLD SUPPORT

Bronze sponsors recognized on the pavilion’s large wooden banner are Cobden Scotiabank, Meridian Credit Union,

Supporters in Memory of Len Petch, Northern Credit Union, and North Algona Wilberforce and Admaston-Bromley townships.

North Algona Wilberforce Mayor Harold Weckworth referred to the Shaw family’s property as one of the premier old-growth forests in eastern Canada.

“It was through their foresight and generosity that the Shaw woods have been protected for generations to come,” said Weckworth.

‘EXTREMELY PROUD’

“I’m extremely proud to be associated with one of the most recognized and respected names in the industry. But also, the firm John (Shaw) founded many years ago is now the oldest family-operated lumber business in Canada.”

Silver sponsors are Ducks Unlimited and Algonquin College, who was represented by Murray Kyte.

“We’re very proud to be here today and very proud to be a sponsor and a supporter of the Shaw Woods Outdoor Education Centre,” said Kyte.

“Our mission at the college is to transform hopes and dreams into knowledge and skills, leading into lifelong career success for our students.

And I think the centre here helps us do that, in particular for three of our programs – forestry technician, our new environmental technician program and our outdoor naturalist program.

“Our students come to the facility and the property to learn the necessary knowledge and skills with respect to their

Council, Algonquin Forest Authority, Ontario Trillium Foundation, and Herb Shaw & Sons.

Herb Shaw was born within 100 metres of the pavilion, on property first opened up by his greatgrandfather John Shaw, with a sawmill and gristmill, in 1847.

The official opening also provided an opportunity for the outdoor centre to market its free programming.

“We’ve been very successful running educational programs here for just over a year now,” said chairman Remus of the centre that’s open yearround.

“Anyone can come here, and hike and learn some things about the outdoors and have their lunch in the Pine Pavilion.”

Invited guests included MPP John Yakabuski and Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon.

Yakabuski called the centre an “absolutely wonderful way” to preserve and highlight what forestry has meant to Renfrew County residents.

WARDEN’S COMMENTS

“This is a very special day,” said Emon, “because it is illustrative of the calm, reasoned and thoughtful approach of the Shaw family … Forestry can be undertaken responsibly and with a view to preserving the legacy of the forest. And this is a prime example, this site, of that kind of forethought.”

Encouraging, but bare-bones budget for Horton Township Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

It was an unexciting budget, with little new work planned for roads. But Horton residents should be generally pleased with a barebones budget that brings a small tax-levy decrease for those whose house values have increased by the township’s assessment average since last year.

Horton Township’s 2014 budget was passed unanimously May 7 after Mayor Don Eady and treasurer Jennifer Barr provided details and highlights in a one-hour and 45-minute budget presentation.

Originally scheduled to last less than half an hour, the presentation was much longer largely because it included questions from the floor, during the public meeting portion of the council meeting.

Questions came from all three residents at the meeting -- Angela Burgess, Stephen Whitney and Kevin Mask -- and detailed responses were supplied by Eady, Barr or other members of council.

Afterwards, a caution came from Whitney, who expressed concern about expectations that many funds needed for recreational projects will be generated through volunteer-based fundraising over the next few years.

TAX LEVY INCREASES AND DECREASES

The approved budget calls for a Horton tax levy increase of 2.4 per cent. But homeowners whose value increased the township assessment average this year will see total tax decreases, says Barr.

After considering real growth and changes in property assessment values, she says a Horton resident will pay less taxes in 2014 if his or her property rises the township average (of several dozen residential classes) of 1.8 per cent, adds Barr.

Here are three examples of how a Horton resident’s tax bill will change if their $200,000 property remains unchanged, rises 1.8 per cent to $203,600, and rises 3.71 per cent to $207,420 in 2014.

The tax bill for a $200,000 property in 2013 looks like this, based on its 2014 value: • Unchanged value of $200,000: education taxes $424, county taxes $733.67, Horton taxes $1,036.75 for total taxes $2,183.42 (or no change in taxes); • 2014 value of $203,600: education taxes $413.31, county taxes $722.77, Horton taxes $1,040.26 for total taxes of $2,176.34 (or tax decrease of $7.08); • 2014 value of $207,420: education taxes $421.06,

We don’t just have a 1-800 number.

county taxes $736.33, Horton taxes $1,059.78 for total taxes of $2,217.17 (or tax increase of $33.75); Budget highlights identified by treasurer Barr include increased reserves the last three years, reduction of the township’s debt, a new roads infrastructure fund with $25,000, and increasing the year’s gravel program from $50,000 to $60,000 (for gravel and compaction on Johnston Road and Cobus Road).

The township began the year with total debt of $569,805 in cash and debentures, of which $196,555 came from recreation projects (the community hall, rink roof and change rooms).

The remaining debt of $373,250 came from reconstruction of Garden of Eden Road and the municipal office expansion a few years ago.

By this year’s end, the debt is forecast to fall to $552,213.

OPP COSTS

Meanwhile, police costs continue to climb, and may climb

higher next year under a new funding formula. This could result in a huge tax levy increase of 13 percentage points next year for Horton taxpayers, said Barr.

This year’s OPP costs are up 15 per cent, to $288,281. Since 2007, noted Barr, Horton’s OPP costs have risen 62 per cent. “I’ve been at this 17 years, and I can guarantee it doesn’t get any easier,� said Coun. Bob Kingsbury about the challenge of passing an effective budget.

The challenges continue to impact everyone, suggested Kingsbury. He said his own household taxes are going up about $80 while his family, like most others, have to eventually determine where the money will come from to pay for mounting bills such as hydro. “All we can do is put monies aside to deal with the future,� said Kingsbury of the Horton budget. He says there’s no

crystal ball to determine the financial impact of next month’s provincial election on municipalities.

In his summary comments, Mayor Eady congratulated all council members for how they managed the budgets in their respective portfolios “I’m very pleased with the budget we’re proposing today,� said Coun. Jamey Larone.

SOME HIGHLIGHTS

Highlights noted in the budget presentation included a 6.7 per cent increase, from $192,700 to $205,900, from the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund. Many other Renfrew County municipalities had decreases.

Horton’s federal gas tax funding fell 8.4 per cent, from $85,982 to $78,730.

However, the picture is actually rosier than that, says Barr, because the $552,213 includes new costs of $50,000 for expansion of the community centre.

Barr notes Horton’s total debt is $329,545 lower than it was in 2010.

Debt payments this year are about $73,000. If Horton’s current debt-payment strategy continues, the debt will drop to $479,000 in 2014, $407,000 in 2015, and less than $45,000 in 2021, leaving no debt by 2022.

Reserves, by this year’s end, should be more than $1 million.

Horton’s total reserve balance of $603,765 in 2010 is forecast to reach $1,077,295 in 2014. “It’s a step in the right direction towards long-term fiscal success,� said Barr.

Public meeting on beach future to include open house Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - The long-awaited decision on whether or not Horton Township will develop a beach or park at the old Timbertown location isn’t far off.

“We’re almost at the end,” said Mackie McLaren, chairman of the beach sub-committee that has met since last year to determine what, if any, recreational facility will be developed with the help of volunteers.

Discussion has also included a survey of residents’ opinions about the site.

During past council meetings, McLaren, who is also the township’s chief administrative officer, has indicated there’s a wide variety of opinions among beach sub-committee members.

An open-house tour of the former Timbertown property was tentatively set for July 20, but the new date is Thursday, July 3, from 5 to 7 p.m.

A public meeting will follow at 7:30 p.m. in the community centre.

The meeting will feature an open-house presentation of information, plus pictures posted around the centre or on

The meeting will start with the chairman’s opening statement. Then visitors will be invited to talk to committee members at various exhibits.

The sub-committee includes local residents without council or staff status, recreation program manager Kathleen Rogers and Coun. Margaret Whyte.

“Everyone will be able to ask their questions,” said Rogers. “It will be very informal.”

A council decision on what to do with the property is expected by late summer. site’s cells and soak pit; and possible rehabilitation on Thomson Road.

Provincially-mandated work on the landfill site’s soak pits will create a catch basin for leachate.

A total of $118,143 has been set aside for badlyneeded rehab of Thomson Road. That allocation, from reserves and federal gas tax money, could be used to fix some of the culverts that are in extremely poor condition.

Council, however, hopes government funds will permit much more work on Thomson Road in 2014 or soon after.

be available to RVH patients,” notes runner and RVH’s Clinical Manager of Nephrology Janice Verch-Whittington.

Chris Ferguson, Vice President of Patient Care Services at RVH, was also there to support the Renfrew group. “It was wonderful to see our nurses, social workers, managers, team leaders, dialysis

technicians, nephrologists Amtul Musawir and Nicole Delbrouck, and patients, along with their families, together in this great event. They were all cheering each other at the finish line! It was also a great opportunity to raise money to benefit the patients in our program all across Renfrew County.”

RVH family taking great strides for dialysis patients Members of the RVH dialysis unit are still all smiles long after the event as they recall how fun it was to get together outside of the workplace and support a worthy cause close to their hearts.

The group of staff, physicians and patients was inspired to participate in the Alive to Strive Kidney Fitness Project 5-kilometre walk/run after hearing organizer Marie-Eve Chainey present her story at their recent Nephrology Education Day. Diagnosed at 18 years old, Chainey has been on dialysis since 2002, and currently participates in the home nocturnal hemodialysis program at The Ottawa Hospital.

high jump. She believes the Alive to Strive Kidney Fitness Project will help others who are facing the challenges of chronic kidney disease to achieve an active life.

Linda Cloutier, RN, sums up the Alive to Strive experience best. At 66 years old, she had intended to join her fellow nurses and walk the route, “I told everyone that I won’t run, but I’ll go as a walker. I love to walk.”

Much to her surprise, the infectious energ y of the participants and encouragement from her coworkers at the starting line didn’t allow her to slow down for one second. “I ran the entire way!”

“Our patients felt a tremendous amount of support from the team and I expect they will be encouraging others to attend next year as well as spreading the word about fitness and weight loss grants that will now

News – Dr. Craig Appleyard of Ferguslea is one of eight recipients of the Ontario Medical Association’s Glen Sawyer Service Award.

Dozens of Ontario’s physicians, medical students and other leaders were honoured during the Ontario Medical Association’s awards ceremony April 26 in Toronto.

Dr. Appleyard, who has been practising medicine in Renfrew since 1979, has just opened his new office at 1035 O’Brien Road, but for several years he worked on Raglan Street South.

Dr. Appleyard had a family practice from 1979 to 2006, while his current practice takes a non-surgical approach to orthopedic conditions.

Appleyard and seven other physicians received the Glen Sawyer Service Award for significant service to the Ontario Medical Association (OMA), the medical profession and the public at the community level.

Dr. Appleyard was recognized for rejuvenating the OMA’s local branch, the Renfrew County Medical Society, and being an active member of the OMA section on complementary integrative medicine.

He has also facilitated workshops on musculo-skeletal medicine as a trained peer presenter of the Ontario College of Family Physicians.

EDITORIAL

Retirement is your social responsibility Opinion - Sha-la-la-la-la-la/Live for today And don’t worry/‘bout tomorrow Hey, hey, hey If you’re old enough to remember that 1967 song by The Grassroots, and lived by its ideals, there’s a good chance that you’re now neck deep in your own personal retirement crisis.

For a host of reasons, the majority of baby boomers failed to plan adequately for their retirement.

Just to make ends meet, many seniors are now working well past the traditional retirement age of 65. Across Canada, the median senior exists on far less than $30,000 a year.

It’s even more troubling that the next generation of Ontarians can’t get past today’s financial obligations to set a little aside for a secure tomorrow. They’re spending their so-called ‘extra’ cash paying off student loans or paying for child care or looking after their parents.

There simply is no extra money for a nest egg.

Sadly, more than 30 per cent of Gen Xers say they’re counting on a lottery win to stay afloat financially in their golden years.

Because so many more of us are living well past 65, retirement in Ontario is about to explode into a full-scale financial crisis. Almost 1.3 million Ontario workers have no workplace pension. Almost all of Ontario’s new jobs are being created by small businesses that don’t offer a pension plan for employees.

At the same time, many Ontarians just aren’t saving for retirement. Experts say you will need 50 to 70 per cent of your pre-retirement income to maintain your standard of living in retirement — but many Ontarians can’t or won’t meet this target.

As a result, they’ll have to keep working well into their so-called golden years.

The bigger cause for concern, though, is that we’re sticking our collective heads in the sand and pretending it isn’t happening.

Employers and workers must be encouraged to take responsibility for their financial futures.

Government and business agree that fixing Ontario’s pension problem is a priority. But to do that, the system has to change.

Susan Eng of the Canadian Association of Retired Persons (CARP) is calling on Ontario to make workplace pension plans mandatory.

She’s spot on and we couldn’t agree more.

It also should be mandatory for working Ontarians ages 16 and older to have a pension plan.

The business community overwhelmingly favours the introduction of PRPPs to Ontario workplaces and we think that’s the right way to go. Both employers and the employees contribute to a pooled retirement plan and it’s managed by independent financial professionals.

Those PRPPs need to be portable. They should follow a working Ontarian from job to job.

And Ontarians need to start asking prospective employers about their pension plan and making it a high priority when they’re considering a job offer: Companies would then need to offer attractive pension plans to attract the brightest, most talented young people.

Small business owners are concerned that a mandatory pension responsibility will prevent them from growing and creating jobs. And we hear them. Any new legislation making pension plans mandatory should allow for a phase-in period of five years for businesses with three or fewer employees.

Inadequate financial preparedness should be socially taboo, as smoking and drunk driving are now.

We need our young people to buy into the idea that we all need to care about retirement planning, much the way we all recycle for the good of the planet.

Changing the culture starts with education: Schools need to start teaching financial literacy in Grade 7, before young people take on their first part-time jobs.

Financial planning courses should be incorporated into Ontario’s high school curriculum and successful completion of those courses should be required for a diploma.

Finally, it’s time the provincial government steps up to protect the pensions of hard-working Ontarians.

Most Ontario employers contribute to a fund that insures the first $1,000 of an employee’s monthly pension in case the company goes bankrupt. That’s something, but it’s not good enough.

They say that in life, the only sure things are death and taxes. But Ontarians should be able to count on a healthy pension after a lifetime of working hard and contributing to society.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Birth of a baby brings great joy To the editor: Opinion - The birth of a new baby brings great joy to parents and the extended family.

In most cases, parents go to great length and expense to welcome such a treasure.

A fresh coat of paint, new furniture and bedding are evidence of the importance of this event.

The creation and growth of such new life has always

amazed me. What majesty!

What mystery and miracle!

Surely all of this calls for a celebration.

New life; a new addition to the family and the community. Added opportunities, possibilities and responsibilities are created all around. And that’s how it should be.

But as we laud this happy scenario we, as a society, simultaneously do not hesitate to promote taking the life

of helpless unborn children.

Who are we to assume the responsibility of such actions?

This troubles me deeply. I tremble to even think of it.

How is it that we tolerate such a paradox?

New life? Yes! Terminating it? No, unless it’s absolutely necessary to save another life.

Hubert Huyer Burnstown

OPINION

Connected to your community

A look at municipalities and their jurisdictions Conflict between by-law and statutes, etc.

14. (1) A by-law is without effect to the extent of any conflict with, (a) a provincial or federal Act or a regulation made under such an Act; or (b) an instrument of a legislative nature, including an order, licence or approval, made or issued under a provincial or federal Act or regulation. 2001, c. 25, s. 14.

Same (2) Without restricting the generality of subsection (1), there is a conflict between a by-law of a municipality and an Act, regulation or instrument described in that subsection if the bylaw frustrates the purpose of the Act, regulation or instrument. 2006, c. 32, Sched. A, s. 10.

(When they refer to the “instrument”, they are referring to the Crown Land Patent Grants or Letters Patent.)

The forced demands by the province and/or AMO on our municipalities could be deemed beyond their authority as the province and/or AMO, like any “person” or even the Crown does not have any right, title or interest in private property therefore, it cannot demand that private property be designated/zoned or a private property owner to do or not do something on/with the private property owner’s property.

This is evident in Regulation 322/12 under the Municipal Act, which is supported by Part VI, section 28 of the Planning Act. “Scope of local improvement, 2 (4) Nothing in this Regulation authorizes a municipality to enter and undertake a work as a local improvement on private property without the permission of the owner or other person having the authority to grant such permission.” and “PART III, LOCAL IMPROVEMENTS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY BY AGREEMENT, Local improvements, private property, 36.1 In accordance with this Part, a municipality may raise the cost of undertaking works as local improvements on private property by imposing special charges on the lots of consenting property owners upon which all or part of the works are or will be located.”

There are also the constitutional and questionable legal aspects of these official plans that have not been taken into consideration, in regards to what the province may dictate to the municipalities to do and there is also the legislation that, it would seem, supports that all levels of government cannot plan for something if they do not own it, in regards to private property. What also must be considered is the implication that if the municipalities do not

R0012689588

The Renfrew Mercury welcomes your signed letter to the editor. Please email to theresa.fritz@metroland.com

subscribe to these official plans, which include private property, they will not receive their gas tax transfers.

And yet in the 2011 Annual Expenditure Report (Part I), the President of AMO, R.F. (Russ) Powers, in his opening statement had this to say about the Gas Tax Transfers: “AMO administers the Fund for 443 municipalities in Ontario, and the allocation is passed directly to them on a per capita basis, without the need to fill out an application form.

In December 2011 Canada’s Gas Tax Fund was enshrined in legislation as a permanent annual transfer for municipal infrastructure.”

This appears to be a direct transfer from the

Federal Government, unless it is AMO that would withhold the funding from a municipality until an Official Plan was agreed to. If these issues have not been revealed and agreements knowingly accepted, by individual municipalities, is this not a violation of the municipalities, and the property owners that have elected the “directors/council” of their municipal corporations.

A specific plan for transportation is not equivalent to a plan that trespasses on private property.

A HEARTFELT THANK YOU FROM HOSPICE RENFREW

THE WEATHER CAN’T STOP HOSPICE SUPPORTERS!

Despite rain, wind, and cold the support for Hospice Renfrew at the annual Hike for Hospice was a ray of sunshine! Teams sporting special t-shirts, runners wearing kilts, even a dragon-boat team showed up with pledges in hand to Hike in support of Hospice Renfrew raising a record $65,000!

The theme “IT TAKES A TEAM” was embraced by families and friends who came in record numbers to take part in the Hike. Families and friends from across Renfrew County took part in this annual event, many hiking in memory of a loved one who had received care at the Hospice.

This event could not happen without the time and energy of countless volunteers. A special thank-you to the Hike for Hospice Committee, who have been working since January to get this event organized.

A special thank-you to our corporate sponsors, especially myFM and Dunbar Fuels for taking the lead in supporting this major fundraising event.

Thanks to Marci Joyce and her volunteers from RBC who once again, took all pledges, did all the book-keeping and revealed our final totals.

Thanks to the Renfrew Fire Department for bringing over the fire trucks and to our local OPP auxiliary officers for doing a great job of traffic control.

Thanks to Sterlings No Frills, and Metro for water, tea and coffee, and fruit.

The Hospice Renfrew Baking committee made all the cookies from scratch…thank-you to Connie Watchorn and Joan Skebo for setting up and organizing the refreshment table and Valerie Dick and her group of volunteers for looking after registration and tickets.

Thanks to Al Utronki’s TV & Appliances for donating a 51” LED TV and The Prior Sportsbar for donating a team prize.

Thanks to Helen McGregor for the website, promotional materials, and brochures used for our Hike.

A very special thank-you to the Renfrew Presbyterian Church and the Town of Renfrew for allowing us to use their facilities.

A very special thanks to the family of Teenie St.Louis for sharing her special Hospice story in the local papers.

Jamie Cybulski and Angela Kluke of myFM did an amazing job of promoting the Hike and kept everyone up-to –date on the fact that the Hike was a rain or shine event! Jamie also did a great job as MC, thanking our participants and sharing his own Hospice story.

Special thanks to Doug Legg and Bill McMahon who carried tables, chairs, boxes and banners in the rain and did a great job of cleaning up after the event!

To the editor: Opinion - I have been reading articles where some municipalities are frustrated with the bounds they believe they must work within.

Did you know that historically the jurisdiction of the municipalities hasn’t changed since the very beginning of Municipal Acts since the province of Quebec, Upper Canada, and Ontario.

It has always been that municipalities could not plan for something they didn’t own. The terms of this go back as far as the Magna Carta.

Under section 3 of the Planning Act, the Provincial Policy Statement is enacted. Under this document, there is a statement: “The Provincial Policy Statement provides policy direction on matters of “provincial interest related to land use planning and development.”

Provincial interests only involve what belongs to the Province as a “quasi corporation” and does not involve the private right, title or interest established in private property.

Recently there was an article in the Orangeville Citizen dated April 27, 2014 wherein the Mono Council and their residents slammed the Provincial Policy Statement realizing this policy will hurt agriculture.

Mayor Ryan was quoted as saying, “These are our neighbours and these are people who have worked this land for generations, and I am not prepared to be the one to let that go and cause them to relinquish their rights.”

In regards to the “Legislated Authority” for the Municipal corporations to make by-laws …Section 10 – 12 of the Municipal Act, this is granted through Section 92 subsection 8 of the British North American Act (BNA), where the province has the authority to grant permission to Municipal Institutions/corporations the right to make by-laws.

It seems, the province’s authority to create Letters Patent to incorporate a new municipal corporate entity and the authority to create contracts with the said entities (92 (16) BNA), is the limited authority the Province has in regards to the Municipal corporations.

Therefore, it appears the province has left the municipal corporations to create by-laws (official plans), knowing these types of by-laws cannot be up-held in the courts, leaving the corporations (staff, Council) open to “torts” (law Suits). If the Province was legally able to create legislation, in regards to these issues, it would have. Reading Section 14 of the Municipal Act, it states:

proposed to the Ontario government to build Two 1 GW nuclear reactors for $22 billion.

Ontario Liberal wisely declined and signed a contract with Samsung for 2.5 GW at the cost of $7 billion. This is a no brainer.

Is she aware that Enbridge just requested of 40 per cent increase for electricity generated with gas or that the nuclear providers have asked for a 60 per cent increase?

Costs for renewables are still decreasing fast while the cost of gas and nuclear are increasing.

In countries like Germany, renewables are dropping rates of electricity.

She compared Ontario energy policy to a new national energy policy.

This could not be further

from the truth and points to a lack of understanding on her part to the distributed nature of the energy policy Ontario is implementing.

Every province controls its only electricity grid and has the ability to generate policy.

The national energy policy of the 1970s referred to oil that was mainly concentrated in Alberta. In closing electricity energy policy is a provincial matter and has nothing to do with federal politics or federal policies. So what is a federal politician like Cheryl Gallant even commenting in an area that is beyond her jurisdiction and control?

Our future in Ontario is with renewable energy and away from fossil fuels and nuclear.

and his wanting to do away with the first chute and put in some hydro project. l find this in no one’s best interest. First and foremost, it will destroy the nature. No more paddles at the lower Bonnechere. And secondly, I can’t figure out the rationale in building this as so many hydro projects are currently off line and not been used. We are giving away

hydro to New York at a price below cost, so why has the local company been given the go ahead? If I were a shareholder in the company I would be a very unhappy camper to say the least. Let’s get together and write our MPP to put a stop on this and leave nature alone. Thank you.

To the editor: Opinion - Last week I, along with the rest of MP Cheryl Gallant’s constituents, received mail on how solar and wind power were the reasons for out of control hydro prices. I would like to point out that she seems to fail to understand that the Green Energy Act has enabled Ontario to close all its coal fired plants for any annual saving in health-care costs that has been estimated to be $4.5 billion a year.

Ontario at one time generated 6.5 GW of power from coal and imported into the province 1.3 millions tons of coal each year at the costs of over $1 billion a year. This is gone as a result of renewable energy. I would also point out that she appears to lack a basic understanding of the costs of various types of energy.

Here is an example of where she is wrong in renewable. In 2012, AECL, a company that was sold to SNC-Lavalin by your government for $15 million,

HERITAGE

Audrey was very fearful of not passing entrance class Lifestyle - Audrey prayed a lot. Of course, she was much older than I was, and I knew much smarter, and when she told me to get down on the braided rug by our bed to pray with her, I knew better than to ask why.

Our family rarely varied from our bedtime routine. Once we had our necks washed, teeth brushed with baking soda, and nails cleaned, and had gotten into our pyjamas, we followed Mother upstairs and headed for the big braided rug under the window looking out towards the West Hill.

As Mother settled into the rocking chair, we five children took our places on our knees around her, and whatever Mother prayed for we repeated verbatim.

Once she had touched the tops of each head and we had said our amens in unison, we headed for our beds.

But this time of year, when the end of the year was close at the Northcote School, my sister Audrey always had extra prayers to say, and of course, two praying at the same time, for the same thing, she convinced me had much more power than just one of us asking for a special blessing.

The fact that the prayer had nothing to do with me didn’t seem to matter. It was the number, Audrey said, that counted.

And so, after the boys had gone to bed, Mother had gone back downstairs, and Audrey had blown out the lamp, she tapped me on the shoulder, and I knew without asking, we were in for another long and purposeful prayer on the braided rug by

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

our bed.

We had it drilled into us over many Sunday School classes, and long and purposeful prayers from our whale of a minister as he flailed his arms from the pulpit every Sunday at the Lutheran Church, that praying for material things was right up there with stealing chickens!

I confess I often prayed for black patent shoes, and white stockings, and blonde curls like bad Marguirite, but I figured God would take into account my young age and forgive me.

And of course, my prayers were silently said, so I was the only one who knew I had entered into this discretion, and I figured it was just between God and me.

But once the school year was coming to a close, Audrey started in on these long prayers at night in the silence of our hallbedroom upstairs. “Make sure your eyes are closed,� she whispered...as if I didn’t know enough to close my eyes!!

And then she would start.

The prayers themselves varied every night, but the plea was the same. Audrey prayed to pass out of the Entrance Class.

There was never any doubt in my mind that she would pass with or without our special

prayers, but Audrey wasn’t taking any chances.

And so every night, right up until the day Miss Crosby handed out our report cards, Audrey and I got down on the rug by the bed and prayed that Audrey would pass out of the Northcote School.

This of course, would go on for weeks, and by the time it was coming up to the last day of school, I was convinced God would be sick and tired of what Audrey and I were praying for.

Why Audrey was so scared of failing was beyond me.

Of course, no one ever went back to school if they failed the entrance class, and that was what terrified my sister.

One day, when we were sitting in the old wood swing in the grape arbour, and our Saturday chores had been done, I asked Audrey why it was so important that she get out of the entrance class.

Couldn’t she just stay home with Mother? Goodness knows there was lots to keep busy at on the farm...the garden was being planted, spring housecleaning was under way, the summer clothes had to be gotten ready.

And besides, lots of the older girls when they finished at the Northcote School would go off and get married if they passed

or not! Well, Audrey didn’t even have a steady boyfriend, so that was out.

And then she told me. Almost in a whisper. As if she was telling some dark secret. “Do you know what the fate is for a farm girl who doesn’t pass out of the entrance class?� she asked. And her face took on a most serious look, almost as if she was heading for some terrible end.

And then she said...again in a whisper...but with a sharpness in her voice that I rarely heard. “They go in to Renfrew and do housework for the rich people.�

And she let out a long and purposeful sigh. “Housework...that’s what they do. And I would rather die than leave the farm and go into Renfrew to scrub and clean for the rich people!�

And she named a few of the girls who once went to the Northcote School who didn’t pass at the end of year, and they were in Renfrew, away from the only home they knew, doing housework for the rich people.

And so that was the fate of my beloved sister Audrey if she didn’t pass out of the entrance class.

Once she told me that, I no longer felt the same about our secret nightly prayer at the side of my bed.

I put my mind right to it and became just as fervent as my sister, begging God to help her get that report card from Miss Crosby at the end of the school year, saying she had passed out of the entrance class, saving her from doing housework in Renfrew for the rich people.

Downtown store shines limelight on local food Sta

Lifestyle - When Bob and Sheri Pougnet were planning their new Wheatless Wonders business in the winter of 2012, they did a lot of soul-searching and asked themselves a lot of questions.

One thing they knew for sure: they wanted to expand into organic, healthier lifestyle choices. “Among these choices was the desire to showcase as many locally-produced foods and artisan products as possible,� says Bob Pougnet. “We all need to consider a shift towards a

sustainable local economy, both financially, and environmentally. “The demand for local goods is on the rise, and we feel the need for an outlet that makes these products available daily, rather than online, monthly or at weekend farmers’ markets, will benefit both the producers and the general public,� he said.

The Pougnets invite all local producers who are interested in joining this growing movement to contact them to discuss the limitless possibilities.

Wheatless Wonders carries products from across Renfrew County and other nearby communities.

Local producers showcased at Wheatless Wonders are Dobson’s Grass Fed Beef of Cobden; Pinnacle Haven Grass Fed Lamb of Renfrew; Sumptuous Suds home-crafted soap from Dacre; Herbal Pantry Body and Bath Products, teas, tinctures; Timber Isle Maple products from Renfrew; Seeds of Creation, Organic Heirloom seeds from Cormac; Valley Girl Naturals of Pembroke Natural Body Products and Cleaning Supplies; Coronation Hall Apple products from Bristol, Que.; Bekings free-roam eggs from Oxford; fresh-baked, gluten-free loaves and buns of all kinds from Purest Bakery, Perth; and MayMay’s Teas of Ottawa.

You can get there from here ... but you need a plan Peter Criscione Staff

News - In Aesop’s fable, The Ant and the Grasshopper, the industrious ant stores food for the winter, while the carefree grasshopper spends the summer singing away.

When the winter arrives, and the cold weather hits, the hungry grasshopper must ask the ant for food.

It may be just a cautionary tale, but for many Canadians who don’t put enough money away for retirement, it could soon become a reality.

According to a Sun Life Financial survey, one quarter of Canadians do not know, or have not given any thought to where their retirement income will come from. ”There is actually a lot of help out there. It’s just a matter of reaching out to a financial institution and asking questions,” said Cindy Crean, managing director of private clients for Sun Life Global Investments.

Retirement savings experts suggest that individuals require 50-70 per cent of their pre-retirement income to maintain their standard of living in retirement.

What’s the best way to do that?

Start early is the common refrain: A 21-year-old investing a modest $100 a month into an RRSP at 5 per cent

return can earn close to $200,000 by age 65. Though those in their 20s may not have much money for investments, between paying off school debts and covering the rent, this is a crucial decade to start developing good saving habits, said Crean.

And, as people progress into their 30s and 40s, she said, it’s important to stay the course and continue to save. ”People in their 30s are not necessarily thinking about retirement,” Crean said. “They should be, but they are probably just thinking about raising their kids, educating them and paying down their mortgage and maybe take a holiday.

But no matter how tight the budget, the most important rule to investing for retirement is to, well, just do it. ”Everyone should be doing something,” said Crean, stressing that sitting down with a financial advisor can help you rest easy at night. ”If you have $2,000 to put away I think most people would look at that and say, ‘that’s not very much.

Should I even be bothering to do it?’” she said. “I would say yes, absolutely.”

For most people, though, investing for retirement depends on a lot of variables.

Cindy Crean, Sun Life Global Investments managing director of private clients. ”If you’re a teacher and you have a defined benefit pension plan that has indexing that is going to provide you with a pretty decent income at retirement, you may not need as much money in the bank to augment or complement that income,” Crean explained. ”Other individuals without a pension will need a significant amount

of money in RRSPs (and other investments) to generate the kind of income required at retirement.”

One recent study, however, says the situation is not so dire, as Aesop’s tale fails to take into account the grasshopper’s ability to depend on a social safety net.

A study released by the Fraser Institute in late April argues there is no retirement income crisis in Canada.

The study, titled The Reality of Retirement Income in Canada, notes that focusing exclusively on the traditional pillars of the pension system like Old Age Security, CPP/QPP, and voluntary pensions such as RRSPs, overlooks trillions of dollars in assets held by Canadians. Those assets are held in the form of home equity and other savings and largely undocumented support from family and friends.

Those tasked with overseeing Canada’s pension distribution say expecting the government to make up the difference in poor saving is a risk. Most Ontarians currently earn about $9,000 annually from CPP and Old Age Security with the average monthly payout less than $600.

With a tsunami of retirees flowing through the system in the next 20 years, government officials anticipate a burden on social programs as

more people rely solely on CPP. Asked to pinpoint the cause for the pension crunch, Ontario Finance Minister Charles Sousa pointed to a lack of education and lack of opportunity for investment as key culprits. ”About 50 per cent of the population doesn’t have a private pension plan. A lot of people aren’t utilizing the room in their RRSPs. There is about $600 million in RRSP room still available,” Sousa said. “All this has an impact, ultimately, on our social costs in future because many are going to retire now on CPP alone and that is not going to be enough.”

Backed by various organizations calling for action, the Liberal Government in Ontario, with NDP support, set out on introducing reforms to supplement the CPP. ”We want to provide more opportunities, more choice and more availability for residents to supplement their pension,” Sousa said.

Regardless of whether a pension crisis exists or not, financial experts like former CFL player Chuck Ealey, who became a financial director with Investors Group after retiring from the game, argue creating a nest egg for retirement should be a priority for everyone.

“Nobody plans to fail,” said Ealey.

Ontario’s organic food co-ops receive $73,492 from food fund

PETER CLARK/METROLAND

McNab Days contribution Renfrew Chrysler made a $500 donation to the McNab Celtic Heritage Society in support of the McNab Days Scottish Festival June 22 which will feature the Irish settlers.

Good news from Wag Jag Lifestyle - WagJag recently acquired Better Business Bureau (BBB) accreditation, making it the first and only online Canadian deal site to accomplish this feat. WagJag earned an A- rank for outstanding service in its three years of performing more than 3.3 million transactions with many loyal and wonderful customers. The Better Business Bureau ranks brands, business and charities according to how well they respond to customer concerns, how transparent they are in their business, and how they handle and protect customers’ privacy.

The ranking is also based on a company’s level of honesty and integrity. The BBB has recognized WagJag for its exceptional work responding to customer inquiries and resolving issues, for providing a clear background of the company and its history, and for the excellent reputation it shares as part of Metroland Media, the most successful community newspaper publisher in Ontario. WagJag is the first and only Canadian daily deal site to be accredited by the BBB, labeling it as a brand Canadians can trust.

Director of operations Carlos Lourenco and customer service manager Derek Mihalicz worked together with the Better Business Bureau to complete the accreditation process on behalf of all the company’s hard-working employees. This accomplishment reflects the company’s determination to go the extra mile to ensure every customer is happy with their WagJag experience. The BBB’s high standards and strong values are not foreign to WagJag, whose core values include collaboration, accountability, and integrity. The accomplishment is one that reflects well on Metroland’s overall and continuing success.

Lifestyle - On April 26, while the Ontario Natural Food Co-op hosted its annual general meeting, Premier Kathleen Wynne announced the co-operative as one of the lucky recipients of a grant from the Local Food Fund.

The Ontario Natural Food Co-op has been the incubator and umbrella supporting the Local Organic Food Co-ops (LOFC) Network for the past three years, through which food and farm co-ops across the province of Ontario have been supported in their emergence and development.

In the last three years, the network has expanded from about 20 to nearly 70 co-operative food enterprises – from farms and distributors to retailers and cafés.

“We see co-operatives playing a vital role in a more local, sustainable food economy,” says Randy Whitteker, general manager of the Ontario Natural Food Co-op, “We’re very happy to be partnering with the province to support local food co-ops.”

The funding will go to four regional co-operative lead organizations (members of the LOFC Network), including the Ottawa Valley Food Co-op.

The Ottawa Valley Food Co-operative (OVFC) is a collaborative of farmers, market gardeners, producers and consumers. The OVFC envisions a local, sustainable food system, which is economically viable for producers and provides fresh, healthy food and products to consumers.

Monthly online ordering of local food is distributed to a variety of locations across Renfrew County and Ottawa. Visit us at http://www. ovfc.ca The funding will also support the LOFC Network in the redevelopment of its business and strategic plan, as well as the strengthening

of regional food-based economies as ONFC continues to explore local sources of local foods for its private label brand.

The LOFC Network prides

itself on its ability to offer its members education and training, networking, and capacity building opportunities, and looks forward to making use of the Local Food Fund grant

as an opportunity to showcase a co-operative approach to developing resilient local food systems by cultivating co-operative food hubs as regional centres of excellence.

An afternoon of Valley music May 19 to honour memory of Dan Gorman Blaine Marchand Bromley Historical Society

Community - An afternoon of old country and Valley fiddle music, performed by the Mine Road musicians, will mark the third annual Dan Gorman Memorial presentation at the

Bromley Historical Society.

The concert, which is free and open to the public, will take place on Sunday, May 18 at 2 p.m. at the Old Town Hall, 498 Micksburg Road, Osceola.

The talented Mine Road members come from Bromley and Whitewater townships.

The performers are Diane Coulas (fiddle), Donnie Campbell (acoustic guitar), Allan Stokes (fiddle), Dale Black (mandolin), and Rob McKenzie (bass guitar).

“The afternoon will be a mix of Valley favourites,” said Coulas. “Everyone will be familiar

with these Valley standards, which celebrate our roots.”

The annual Dan Gorman Memorial Lecture commemorates the former society member and supporter who passed away in 2011.

Born on the pioneer farm of Lawrence and Ella (Enright)

Gorman, Dan was a distinguished engineer whose work took him far afield.

His heart, however, never left the Pine Valley

of his birth, and he was always found of traditional Valley music.

The event will be followed by refreshments.

wives.

At 1:30 p.m. there will be a tour of the Geoheritage Trail, which shows igneous and metamorphic rocks, a broad shelf of sedimentary limestone and evidence of two local fault lines.

Walk into the mysterious trench and see the impact of water on the many rock layers that are visible to a depth of 12 feet.

The Bonnechere Museum is open Tuesday to Saturday, and Mondays of long weekends from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m.

Renfrew churches gathering for Pentecost musical service June 8 Community - The Renfrew and District Ministerial Association will host a Gathering for Pentecost musical service on Sunday evening, June 8 at O’Brien Park.

The Day of Pentecost is a time when Christians celebrate living in the spirit with God and with other believers.

The 7 p.m. outdoor service, says a news release from the RDMA, “is an opportunity for all those who live in the spirit of God and those who are seeking God to celebrate us as we give thanks for all good things that

God has given us.”

Everyone’s welcome.

Bring a blanket or lawn chair, and your singing voices, say event organizers.

Musical accompaniment will be provided along with songsheets. Refreshments will follow.

The RDMA is an organization of Christian clergy and lay people who work and pray for an atmosphere of Christian unity, fellowship, support and understanding of one another and a spirit of unity and co-operation among our faith communities.

YOU’RE INVITED TO ATTEND AN INFORMATION SESSION. Ontario Power Generation invites you to attend its annual information session. There will be updates on OPG’s operations on the Madawaska and Ottawa Rivers, public safety, and information on water levels and flows.

The meeting will be held at the location and time listed below. Following the presentation, OPG staff will be on hand to answer questions and discuss individual interests and concerns. We look forward to seeing you there.

The Robin’s Nest – A Living Class It was a small but appreciative group that gathered to hear Kate Windle read her new story, The Robins Nest. It took three years to write the story and Kate shared editing techniques along with plenty of discussion about how we feel and think. The main message, “When we think it is right, it is right.”

Community - The Bonnechere Museum in Eganville reopens Saturday, May 17 at 10 a.m. At 11 a.m., Patti Murray welcomes visitors with the skirl of the bagpipes.

Inside the museum, visitors will find several new displays. With this year being the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War, an exhibit featuring men and women of our area who served during the Great War is on display.

As well, there is a commemorative 150th anniversary exhibit prepared by Eganville’s St. John the Evangelist Anglican Church.

Also on display is a special, local exhibit of a side-saddle used by Mary (Stewart) Reid in April 1855 when she rode from her family home in Horton, Limecraig, to join her husband, Charles Reid, at his new hearth in Grattan Township.

This saddle, lent to the museum by Alton McKibbon, represents the journey of many pioneer brides as they travelled to join their husbands and begin their lives as farmers’

Lynda Fraser and her husband Ian, at right, travelled to Jamaica this year to deliver 150 pounds of school supplies, a ton of KatieBears and food for school children to take home to their families. Above, Lynda hands out Katie Bears.

Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

News – KatieBears is about to show the Town of Renfrew some love.

The charity organization created in memory of Katie Fraser will host its annual fun day in Renfrew May 24 after several years in Eganville.

What started out as a group that frequented a handful of parades and community events offering teddy bears to anyone who looked like they could use a hug has grown into an organization that supports two schools in Jamaica and attends countless events each year with bears and kind words for hundreds of people.

“We distributed more than 1,500 KatieBears in our local areas in 2013, plus 300 in Nova Scotia,” said Katie’s mom Lynda who, along with husband Ian, created the organization after losing her daughter in 2009 to a pulmonary embolism.

Fraser has no doubt Katie – who started off the idea for the charity when she first gave out a teddy bear that was part of the family business’ sparade float the year before she died – would be ecstatic with the organization’s success.

“I’m sure she is so thrilled that she’s clapping her hands and smiling and probably wonders why we’re not going faster,” said Fraser with a laugh.

KatieBears continued its support of Dalmally basic school in Dias, Jamaica and the newest addition to the organization’s beneficiary list – Upper Top Lincoln in Grange Hill.

The Frasers’ work with KatieBears includes an annual trip to Jamaica.

“We visited both schools with loads of school supplies – 150 pounds – KatieBears, and this year we provided food for the students to take home,” said Fraser.

One of the highlights of this year’s trip was recognition from the High Commission of Canada in Kingston, Jamaica.

The Frasers met with public diplomacy and media officer Carol Hart and were honoured to have their work recognized. There are plans to have commissioner Robert Ready join

them on their school visits next year.

“They were thrilled with what we’re doing,” said Fraser, describing the experience as emotional. “We didn’t realize we were doing enough that anybody noticed.”

Roslyn Needham, a long-time friend of the Frasers, has been named KatieBears’ ambassador in Jamaica and will be visiting potential schools to determine their needs.

“We want to adopt schools that need the most help,” said Fraser.

Needham is waiting to see if a visa will be approved so she can make a visit to Canada and the Frasers’ home.

CLOSER TO HOME

Fraser is also pleased to announce a pilot project with the Phoenix Centre for Children and Families.

“All new kids coming in for counselling will get a KatieBear,” she said.

“Sometimes kids just like having something to hold on to.”

The fun day on Saturday, May 24 runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the RCAF Wing in Renfrew.

Fraser urges those with musical inclinations to register for the popular idol competition. Registrants are being asked to raise a minimum $15 in pledges to participate.

The annual event includes a variety of activities, including brand new games created by super volunteer Ian Voelker.

“We’ve got plinko, golf, punchboard, duck race, potty toss, mini putt, shooting gallery, bean bag toss and more,” said Fraser.

Organizers have structured the activities to make for a fun, affordable day for families.

“All games will cost one ticket and a 10-pack is available for $5 so you can play every game. There will also be a 25-pack for $10,” said Fraser.

A craft show, silent auction, head shaving and remote control car display and raffle will also be part of the fun.

Got Events?

Recently at Renfrew County Council, some County Councillors made the connection between provincial programs that pay big money to install solar panels and skyrocketing energy bills. In that example, it is obvious to make the connection between government spending and who pays for that spending. While solar panels are not listed on your hydro bill, that has not stopped the province from adding a myriad of charges that have nothing to do with the actual amount of electricity you use.

Taxpayers need to ask the question “who pays” every time government proposes a new program or service. Take increasing the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). While a bigger pension for life sounds like a good idea, you pay higher premiums to receive it. Doubling or duplicating the CPP pension as proposed by some, means doubling the contributions. At today’s rate, that would require an employee contribution of 404.25 per month for approximately 40 years at the maximum contribution rate to receive the maximum pension. For the self-employed, the rate is double, $9,702/yr.

As an additional payroll tax, business would have to raise prices or cut jobs to pay the increased tax. Raising payroll taxes makes hiring more expensive, which disproportionately hurts young people who have a high unemployment rate. A payroll tax is levied regardless of you, or your employer’s ability to pay, the same way increases to your hydro bill are charged with no regard whether you are retired or unemployed.

The liberal party in Toronto is hoping that by using a hidden tax, be it added charges on your hydro bill, a health levy or a payroll tax on earnings and employment, by calling it something different, they can raise taxes without being held accountable. Past experience is a warning we ignore at our peril. State savings schemes are not risk-free. Politicians are eternally tempted to use them to pay benefits today whose cost can be pushed off onto future taxpayers or retirees, or both. The province wants to increase the CPP so that they can have access to the low cost financing they had on the first premiums. Just because the current CPP is shielded from such tinkering does not mean future governments cannot change the rules.

Rather than increase taxes, our federal Conservative Government encourages voluntary retirement saving, through RRSPs and our popular Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA). These voluntary savings accounts stay in the control of the contributor, including where they are invested and are available anytime for emergencies. Unlike the CPP that ends when the contributor dies, RRSPs and TFSAs remain under the control of the family or beneficiary, who decides what, is in their best interest. d problem is not the current level of pension benefits received by Canadians, but the benefits to be received by future pensioners. Corporate pension plans are widely being scaled back. Public sector pension plans in Canada have withstood attack so far, but they are surely on the radar screen of governments in this country. Canadians are saving less, and getting poor returns on the money that they do invest. the perceived problem is not the current level of pension benefits received

Renfrew Power Generation upper plant now in service Charlie Jamieson Renfrew Power Generation

An artist’s representation of the completed surge structure.

Progress on construction of the foundation for the new surge structure located beside the located existing lower dam. The surge pipes will be located in the middle of the structure where the tops of the T connections from the penstocks can be seen.

News - Renfrew Power Generation’s Thomas Low Generating Station Project is re-developing the Renfrew site at Bridge Street with a new power plant and water conveyance infrastructure with rehabilitation of the existing canal and dam.

Construction started June 10, 2013.

In the last update we indicated work was being shifted to the lower end of the site to address the surge structure and new powerhouse.

You will notice the upper canal is now flooded and the upper plant is in service.

There is progress on construction of the foundation for the new surge structure, located beside the existing lower dam.

Since the last update, the foundation base has been completed and backfilled.

The upper deck area is being prepared for final concrete pour and installation of the surge pipes.

The surge pipes will be located in the middle of the structure.

Work also includes construction of the lower levels of the new powerhouse.

Two large circular draft tubes take the water exiting the turbine assemblies (to be mounted above) and return it to the river through the tailrace (canal exiting the powerhouse).

The powerhouse foundation will continue to rise through a number of stages creating distinct spaces for the turbines, generators, and electrical control rooms.

This is the ninth in a series of regular updates on the project.

Inquiries about the project can be addressed to TLGSinfo@renfrewpg. ca

The construction of the lower levels of the new powerhouse. The two large circular pipes in the middle of the picture are the top of the draft tubes.

Sports – More than 300 people took it for Tom Saturday, May 10 and raised $11,000 for the Norton family.

The third annual Calabogie walk/ run this year raised funds for the late Tom Norton’s family and event organizers and family members alike have expressed sincere thanks for the overwhelming support.

“I’m amazed at the response we’ve had and the donations and the help,” said Take it for Tom organizer and Norton family friend Andrea Lefebvre. “It’s really given me faith in humanity.”

Tom was diagnosed with cancer in the fall of 2013 and passed away in February.

“He was just amazing,” said wife Donna. “He was a hardworking, proud, country man.”

Born, raised and a lifelong resident of Calabogie, Tom was a farmer and self-employed and his family will use the funds for a headstone and other expenses.

The community support and huge participation speaks to how wellliked and respected the Norton family is, say organizers.

Social media helped play a part in getting the word out about the event.

“It was a great day,” said Lefebvre. About 330 people walked or ran the two- and five-kilometre courses, departing from Shooter’s Bar and Grill.

Two hockey analysts close and personal with last Habs’ Cup victory PETER CLARK Peter’s Putterings

It’s been 21 years since a Canadian-based team won the Stanley Cup, and unless Montreal climbed up off the canvass with wins this past Monday and Wednesday, that number will up itself to 22.

The fact that the 1993 Habs, winners of 10 overtime games, remain the last Canadian Cup winner, must bring back less than fond memories for Hockey Night in Canada analysts

Gretzky and the Los Angeles Kings past Toronto to the Stanley Cup final, allowed three extra-time goals to the Canadiens. And they came in consecutive games – two, three and four.

Game two will forever be remembered in hockey lore. That was the night of the Marty McSorley illegal stick call late in the third period, which allowed Canadiens defence-

man Eric Desjardins to tie the game in the last minute on the powerplay.

Desjardins then capped off a phenomenal night of his own.

He completed a hat trick and Montreal’s 3-2 victory 51 seconds into overtime.

The Habs’ OT triumph in game three was also sudden. John LeClair solved Hrudey just 34 seconds into overtime.

Glenn Healy and Kelly Hrudey.

Combined, they were the victims of half of those overtime goals.

Healy as the goaltender for the New York Islanders, yielded two overtime markers in the 1993 Eastern Conference final. Montreal’s overtime goals decided game two in double overtime and game three of that series.

Horton Township recognizes teenager’s powerlifting success steve.newman@metroland.com

Sports - Chloe Eady has been nursing a knee that may require surgery following a recent hockey collision. But that didn’t stop her from excelling at the recent national powerlifting championships in St. Catharines.

Earlier in the season, she suffered a torn meniscus and medial collateral ligament in her left knee, after players fell on her during a local hockey game.

But she kept up her busy life, despite the injury, including training for the powerlifting nationals in late March and early April.

As a 17-year-old, she returned from southwestern Ontario with a gold medal in the women’s sub-junior 84-kilogram division after squatting 231 pounds, bench pressing 121 pounds and deadlifting 279 pounds.

Now 18, Eady visited Hor-

ton council May 6 to receive a certificate of recognition and accolades from Horton council.

On hand for the presentation were her dad, Rod, who was dressed in his Boston Bruins Brad Marchand sweater, and Lainy Boldt, her friend and fellow student at Renfrew Collegiate Institute.

“It’s pretty cool,” Chloe said of council’s recognition even though powerlifting is just one part of her busy life.

“I love staying busy,” said Chloe, who recently returned from a school-building project in Africa.

In addition to playing for the major midget Renfrew Timberwolves, she’s also an instructor for local novice-age goaltenders.

Involved in several sports, she only began powerlifting last year, but has progressed quickly in the sport, quick enough that her St. Catharines performance qualified her for the world championships.

Sports - The Renfrew Men’s Recreational Tuesday Night Baseball League is looking for players to fill out the teams for the 2014 season.

Games are played at 7 and 8:30 p.m. on Tuesdays on the Seeley baseball diamond at Ma-Te-Way Park.

If interested, grab the old ball glove and get on out to the park, or call Gord Patterson at 613-432-7701 as soon as possible.

She won’t attend that event in South Africa next month, but her coaches, Horton residents and Ultimate Fitness Gym owners Paul Vaillancourt and Sarah Leighton, say she’ll have other opportunities to compete internationally.

“She lifted very well,” said coach Vaillancourt of her performance at the nationals.

“She’s fantastic to coach and she enjoys working hard,” he added, noting she originally came to Ultimate Fitness seeking general fitness.

“It’s pretty obvious she’s a great over-achiever.”

Addressing Chloe in the council chambers, Mayor Don Eady referred to many of her activities before concluding, “It goes without saying that we are very proud to have such a high achiever in our small community of Horton Township.”

This fall, Chloe will attend Nova Scotia’s St. Francis Xavier University, to study sociology and criminology.

St. Joseph’s junior girls start year with a pair of victories

Doubles action underway

Sports - Things are finally starting to heat up, both in the air and at the Renfrew Tennis Club.

The doubles ladder is underway and so far the teams of Chris Jedrzejczak with Mark Valliquette, and Robert Pelletier with Mike Comeau, are at the top of the ladder.

No doubt drawmaster Eldon Ferguson has taken considerable abuse for the initial seedings, but the beauty of the ladder format is that within about a month, things tend to sort themselves out.

There’s still room for a few teams and generally a need for spares, so it’s not too late to join.

The singles league will be starting soon as well. A new addition this year is a junior league which is being organized by Robert Pelletier and Mark MacKenzie. No doubt they will both be using this league to scout future

Robert Pelletier conducts a tennis clinic at the Ma-Te-Way Park Renfrew Lions Club tennis courts. Success on the court starts with the grip. doubles partners.

Perhaps I’ll drop by as well.

It’ll turn into an entire movie similar to Draft Day. Robert ran a series of clinics which were well attended again.

Some great instruction for all.

Tennis is a game that, no matter how long I play, I find something else I’m doing wrong. This year it seems to be the backhand grip. I had it too closed.

As this week’s poem advises: It all starts with the grip, As the ball rockets forth towards

the alley of course, I must quickly give my racquet a flip, So when it contacts the sphere, All will let loose a cheer.

Yes, your contact has been more than a chip indeed. That’s a shot which cannot be caught up to by anyone without a spaceship.

Obviously, they listened when Pelletier gave out the important tip, that it all starts with the grip.

Sports - The wait was worth it for the St. Joseph’s Jaguars junior girls soccer team.

Finally getting to play their first two games of the Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association 2014 season on home turf May 8, and Jaguars topped the Renfrew Collegiate Raiders 3-1 and Mackenzie Mustangs 2-0.

Cassie Cameron highlighted the St. Joseph’s triumph over their crosstown rivals with all three of her team’s goals. Amber Nykyforak and Anna Holt connected in the win over the Deep River school. Hannah Robertson and Rachel Blackburn contributed to “the nearly impenetrable team effort,” coach Renee Turcotte said.

Keeper Brittany Cabral allowed just one goal on the day.

The Jaguars split their junior boys encounters. Alex Paquette, Kyle Labelle and Cole Turcotte scored in a 31 win over RCI. Jordan Vandersleen held the Raiders to one goal.

St. Joseph’s had its opportunities, but couldn’t cash in. League-leading Mackenzie did, en route to a 3-1 triumph over the Jaguars.

As rare as hat tricks in soccer are, the Jaguars had two last week.

Sonya Bergin booted home all three of her team’s goals as the senior girls battled the Arnprior Redmen to a 3-3 draw May 5.

Evan Naismith ran his shutout string to three games in the senior boys’ 2-0 win in Arnprior. Brothers Hayden and Tyler McIntyre looked after St. Joseph’s goal production.

Tory aspirations that held a progressive element to embracing the more controversial policies of Mike Harris. He admired Hamptonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appeal to lower middle class voters.

But he was especially taken by Bissonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s constituency work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just how he interacted with his constituents. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wide variety of people in that riding and he did an incredible job of serving them,â&#x20AC;? Dougherty said.

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Arnprior continues with its recent tradition of supplying an NDP candidate for provincial and federal elections.

Last decade it was Eric Burton carrying the New Democratic Party torch. For the 2011 and 2014 provincial elections it is Brian Dougherty.

Dougherty, a licensed electrician and soon-to-be plumber, married Arnpriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kimberly Conroy and has lived in her hometown for six years.

They have two daughters: Samantha, 10, and Sydney, 6.

Born and raised in Mississauga, he was never a fan of big cities and so moved to Timmins to attend college.

The couple moved to Calgary for 10 years where Dougherty worked at a treatment centre and homeless shelter.

But it was in Northern Ontario that politics took hold of him in earnest. It is there he met the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MPP Gilles Bisson and former NDP leader Howard Hampton.

The young man was growing increasing frustrated with the rightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turn away from Red

stands these days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got called a communist the other day. I mean, come on. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have the word socialist (in our literature) anymore,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a party who stands up for people who need it. Everyone else says they want to help, but no one does.â&#x20AC;?

One way to do that, he said, is to implement the Investment Tax Credit plan. It will reward manufacturers that invest in buildings, machinery and equipment in Ontario.

Dougherty is keen to point to another campaign promise.

The Job Creation Tax Credit is designed to help companies that are ready to invest in training local workers and equipment. Unlike Liberal and Progressive Conservative ideas, the NDP isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t offering a no-strings attached offer to business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you create a job, you get a tax break,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t create a job, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the tax break. That simple.â&#x20AC;?

Dougherty was officially acclaimed the NDPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s candidate in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke at a nomination meeting last Friday at the Steelworkers Hall in Renfrew.

Arlene Dickinson headlines Entrepreneur Week event in Kanata Julia Le Staff

Arlene Dickinson will be the headline speaker at the Breakfast Seminar Series presented by Metroland Media Group June 9 at the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata.

SUBMITTED

PASSION FOR ENTREPRENEURISM

Dickinson found her calling and developed a passion for entrepreneurism at the age of 31 after getting married at 19 and raising four children.

Through hard work and perseverance, the author of Persuasion and All In said she’s been able to overcome numerous challenges that have helped shape her as a business person.

Her success and leadership has been recognized with multiple honours and awards, including: Canada’s Most Powerful Women Top 100, the Pinnacle Award for Entrepreneurial Excellence, as well as PROFIT and Chatelaine’s TOP 100 Women Business Owners.

She is also chief executive of YouInc.com, a company she founded in 2012 that is dedicated to serving and investing in entrepreneurs and the entrepreneurial lifestyle.

“A lot of what I’ve learned is through the school of hard knocks,” said Dickinson, who never received a university education, but has learned about business by taking risks and figuring out how to recover from the failure and mistakes she’s made along the way.

LEARNING FROM MISTAKES

Mistakes, she said, aren’t fatal, as long as you can learn from them.

“For me, having gone through a lot of the struggle of building a business from the ground up, dealing with partnerships and dealing with building and growth pains, I’ve learned at the end of the day, you have to be able to look deep within yourself to figure out where you’re helping the company, figure out where you’re not helping the company and surround yourself with people who are better than you are,” she said.

“That’s an old saying, but it’s a very true one.”

R0012700686

News - A ‘dragon’ is spreading her wings and landing in Ottawa June 9 to impart some lessons learned about making it as an entrepreneur in today’s economy.

Arlene Dickinson, best known for her role as one of five venture capitalists on CBC’s Dragon’s Den series, will be the headline speaker at the Breakfast Seminar Series, presented

by Metroland Media Group.

It takes place at the Brookstreet Hotel, 525 Legget Dr, Kanata from 7 to 9:30 a.m.

Dickinson’s visit is among 10 stops she’ll make across Ontario as part of Entrepreneur Week, which runs from June 2 to 13. Joining Dickinson for this special event as the entrepreneur guest speaker is Jeff York, CEO of Farm Boy. York became the president and chief executive of Farm Boy in 2009. Prior to that, he spent 20 years as the president and chief operating officer of Giant Tiger Stores Ltd. Entrepreneurship Week celebrates the successes of local entrepreneurs as a community while encouraging others to be innovative to help fuel and drive the local economy.

“The event is a celebration of Entrepreneurship Week and to showcase our community entrepreneurs and their contributions to our local economy. It is also a great opportunity to get a look into the success factors behind two amazing entrepreneurs - Arlene Dickinson and Jeff York,” said Metroland East general manager Peter O’Leary. “It is very important to take the time and recognize the contributions and innovations the entrepreneurs of Ottawa have brought to our community and economy. Not only are these amazing people building successful businesses but they give back.”

O’Leary said local residents don’t have to look too far in Ottawa to see some amazing business success stories such as the Greenberg family and Minto, Cyril Leeder and the Ottawa Senators, Farm Boy, the Tommy and Lefebvre families, and the Myers, Mews family “to see what an impact a group of entrepreneurs have on the city we live in.”

Dickinson, who is the CEO of the marketing firm Venture Communications with a staff of 75 in Calgary, Toronto and Ottawa, said she’s looking forward to meeting entrepreneurs in Ontario’s communities and speaking about how life and business are inter-

twined when you’re an entrepreneur.

The 57-year-old, who travels back and forth between her Calgary and Toronto homes, said the notion of balance, is something of a fallacy.

“Balance is very personal. It’s not about 50/50 and equal weight on personal and professional, it’s about doing what makes you happy,” she said, adding that being an entrepreneur is a lifestyle choice, not a career choice.

“I’d say that happiness is a function of being able to live and be who you are.”

She added that entrepreneurs need to recognize that their biggest enemy tends to be themselves.

RESILIENCY IS KEY

“Self-doubt can play a huge role in your ability to succeed, so if you believe in something you have to stick to it. You have to be resilient,” said Dickinson, noting that to be successful as an entrepreneur you also have to navigate the roadblocks along the way and accept that you’ll face a lot of rejection.

Dickinson is a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medal recipient, an honourary captain of the Royal Canadian Navy and is the recipient of honourary degrees from Mount Saint Vincent University, Saint Mary’s University and the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology.

“Having Arlene Dickinson partner with us provides our readers and customers the opportunity to experience her live or read about her on our website our community newspapers,” said O’Leary. “Our brand and goal is to be connected to our communities and Arlene allows us to showcase some of the people and entrepreneurs of Ottawa by lending her time, name, and brand. Her commitment to the time in Ottawa also places a spotlight on those entrepreneurs in our community that deserve so many thanks for what they do.”

Tickets to the breakfast seminar series cost $90 plus HST. For more information call 613-2216233. To purchase tickets online, visit microspec.com/tix123/etic. cfm?code=OEW2014.

News - With the Victoria Day weekend approaching, Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is asking people to pause and remember to make safety a priority when near the water.

While all waterways should be treated with respect, people should use extra care when near lakes and rivers that have dams and hydroelectric generating stations. Hydroelectric facilities are often remotely controlled to generate electricity as needed. This causes frequent and rapid changes in the water flow and levels, often creating strong undertows, turbulence and sudden, powerful surges of water moving downstream in what was once calm looking surface water.

“Our safety message is simple: Stay Clear. Stay Safe. That is true year round,” says Mike Martelli, OPG’s senior vice-president of Hydro Thermal Operations.

Newest addition to RCI Wall of Achievement Taylor Virgin Raider Review

Lifestyle - Dr. Kay Armatage of the University of Toronto will be the next face to join Renfrew Collegiate Instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prestigious Wall of Achievement. The wall, just outside of the Grant Gym, boasts a collection of photos of past Raiders that have achieved success in a variety of fields. Armatageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credentials in both art and feminism evidently show why she was chosen as an inductee.

After graduating from U of T herself, she was a member of the group that taught the first course in Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Studies. This action, with the help of Armatage led to the eventual creation of the Women Studies and Gender Studies program. Being a professor of Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Studies at the University of Toronto is only half of what she does. Armatage also teaches cinema studies and has ample experience in the film side of her life.

She has been the producer or director of more than five films and shorts, including Artist On Fire: The Work Of Joyce Wieland (1987), a documentary that won Best Canadian Feature Film - Special Jury Citation at the Toronto International Film Festival. Armatage was also the vice-chair for the Ontario Arts Council from 1991 to 1997 and served as the international programmer at the Toronto International Film Festival for 21 years between 1983 and 2004.

Armatage has also published other works.

She is the author of The Girl From Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Country: Nell Shipman and The Silent Cinema, the editor of Equity and How To Get It, co-editor of Gendering The Nation: Canadian Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cin-

Dr. Kay Armatage ema, along with copious articles for different journals. Her dedication to her work has earned her numerous awards and grants. Armatage has received three SSHRCC research grants, a Canada Council Senior Artists Grant, two Toronto Women in Film and Television Award of Merit honours, and a Clyde Gilmour Award.

Armatageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recent distinction is the Wall of Achievement. In an email, Armatage said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would be honoured to be included with the illustrious other inductees . . . [but] Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m worried that my accomplishments, such as they are, are largely academic â&#x20AC;&#x201C; author of this & that, film programmer of this & that, a few awards, a few films made.â&#x20AC;?

Armatage is an inspiration to all Raiders past and present. Her immense number of achievements proves that hard work does lead to success both inside and outside of school.

Music Monday celebration at RCI A 10th anniversary celebration of Music Monday was held at Renfrew Collegiate Institute Monday, May 5. Band and choir members from six high schools in Renfrew County participated in the event. Renfrew Collegiate, Arnprior District High School, Mackenzie Community School, and General Panet, Fellowes and Opeongo high school bands and choirs rehearsed in the morning and performed in a concert in the afternoon. Also performing at the concert was the well-known acappella group Cadence , who delighted the audience with their vocal jazz stylings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The day was a joyous celebration of music in our schools,â&#x20AC;? said RCI music director Deborah Foohey.

The joy of spirit weeks at St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s High Abby Hall Jaguar Journal

Lifestyle - The biannual Spirit Weeks are arguably the most enjoyable time spent at school, and this past week certainly lived up to its reputation. The spirit committee has done a fantastic job organizing and planning the festivities this year!

Last Monday was coined Canada Day in May. Everyone wore their red and white in an exhibition of patriotism a few months early.

Hawaiian Tourist Day on Tuesday had the hallways filled with sunglasses, grass skirts, colourful button-ups and floaties.

Wednesday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Teacher LookAlike Day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; had everyone imitating some distinct styles, with some fantastic results!

Thursday, was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tis the Season Day. Each student represented a holiday of their choice. Thank you to everyone for dressing up!

As a fundraiser, the prom committee organized a schoolwide dodge ball tournament.

During lunch hour, teams battled each other for a place in the semi-finals and finals, both held on Friday.

Friday also marked the end of the campaigning period for executive student council nominees.

Candidates had the opportunity to present their platform

to the school before the votes were cast. The newly-elected members begin their term in September.

Last Friday was also our Spirit Day, meaning students were excused from classes. After a morning of games, cheering and gourmet hot dogs, St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic High School hosted Mark Hatfield, a National Football League and Canadian Football League veteran, who presented a motivational speech to all students.

The day was capped off with a beautiful spring semi-formal event. Thank you to both the spirit and athletic committees for a fantastic week! Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking forward to September already!

Successful anti-litter photo contest Steve Newman steve.newman.metroland.com

Community - Hundreds didn’t flock to Instagram and Twitter to participate in Michelle Eady’s anti-litter contest But the Springtown resident says her campaign, which encouraged residents to take photos of themselves collecting litter, was successful.

Eady, 26, was hoping the April campaign that wrapped up Earth Day (April 22) would leave an important message with participants and their friends and associates.

Thirty people submitted photos of garbage pickup, from which four were randomly selected as prize winners.

“I just hope that people will continue to pick up litter, so people start to notice the amount of garbage in ditches (beside roads),” said Eady, an early childhood educator at Renfrew’s Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School.

“It just sickens me.

She knows Tim Hortons isn’t directly to blame for the amount of Tim Hortons cups seen in roadside ditches, but says perhaps the company could run a campaign that encourages the return of used or discarded Tim Hortons cups.

Despite the smallness of her own campaign, Eady says she was encouraged by the wide variety of ages among participants in the Renfrew area.

While convinced that

people who litter are unlikely to change those habits, she says “maybe we can inspire this generation” to pick up litter and not be litterers themselves.

Borrowing a quote from Anne Frank, Eady says “nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.”

In her own words, she adds, “It’s never too late to try and make a difference.”

The contest’s prize winners were Melissa McLaughlin of Pembroke

(winner of Calabogie Peaks ski passes); Bruce Monkman of Kemptville (Goal Zero battery pack from Outland Adventures); Sierra Stinson of Cobden (Northern Park t-shirt); and Matt Zavitz of Perth (KEEN swag and shoes).

Eady hopes to hold a similar contest every year.

“I am also hoping,” she noted, “that by using social media and posting pictures of litter from the area that I will inspire others to go out Participants in the anti-litter campaign included the Cross family of and do the same.”

MINIMIZE THE FINAL INCOME TAX LIABILITY OF YOUR ESTATE proper planning, a deceased’s “ Without income tax liability could be significant Did you know that approximately 80% of Canadians will donate to a charity during their lifetime? However, it is estimated that less than 10% will include a gift to a registered charity in their Will.

This is one of a series of several articles intended to build awareness about the impact of legacy giving to Forever CHEO. In addition to the spiritual and community benefits of gifting to a registered charity, naming a registered charity as a beneficiary in your Will can also be an effective way to minimize the final income tax liability

of an estate. Without proper planning, a deceased’s income tax liability could be significant. Various income inclusions at the time of death, such as deemed capital gains and the fair market value of an RRSP can result in a higher than expected estate income tax liability given Canada’s graduated income tax rates.

Gifts to Forever CHEO can include cash legacies, bequests of real or personal property, securities, life insurance proceeds and all or part of the residue of the estate.

All of these gifts can potentially generate tax credits available to reduce an estate’s income tax liability. Additionally, the gifting of certain types of capital property to Forever CHEO under the terms of a Will may avoid capital gains but still maximize the tax credits available from such a gift.

Renfrew county council pushes to support BOSWELL FLOORING SALES AND INSTALLATIONS continued programs at Kemptville College CARPET â&#x20AC;˘ VINYL steve.newman@metroland.com

News - The Ontario government recently announced $2 million in interim funding for University of Guelphâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s training programs at Kemptville College.

But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not good enough, according to college spokesmen, knowing he provincial government planned to close the Kemptville campus by the end of 2015.

Renfrew County council, in a stronglyworded resolution passed at its May 1 session, has lobbied to preserve existing academic and research programs at the college.

The $2 million allocation for skills-training next year is said to be in support of six trades, including agricultural equipment technicians, heavy-duty equipment technicians, welders and dairy herdsmen.

Kemptville college, which was estab-

lished in 1916, has been part of the Ontario Agricultural College of the University of Guelph since 1997.

The $2 million in funding isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough â&#x20AC;&#x153;to ensure that the agri-business sector in this region has a skilled and well-educated workforce,â&#x20AC;? said Brian Carre, chairman of the Kemptville College Renewal Task Force, following an April 29 rally by eastern Ontario farm leaders.

Renfrew County councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resolution â&#x20AC;&#x153;urges in the strongest possible way that the Honourable Kathleen Wynne, in both her capacity as premier of Ontario and minister and agriculture and food, immediately re-establish the agricultural programs at the Kemptville campus, creating a Centre of Agricultural Excellence in the East.â&#x20AC;?

The resolution says there are several reasons the skills training needs to continue.

For one, the county opposes the announcement to suspend the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agri-

culture diploma program for the fall 2014 semester because agriculture is eastern Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest private sector employer and â&#x20AC;&#x153;we need to ensure that the agri-business sector in this region has a skilled and welleducated workforce.â&#x20AC;?

The resolution also says local stakeholders were not afforded the chance to participate in developing alternative solutions to closing the Kemptville campus by the end of 2015.

Council passed the motion, recommended by the recreation committee, after learning longtime Horton Township volunteer Heather Pickard is living tempo-

INTERIM FUNDING

The $2 million in interim funding, notes county council, still reduces the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number of trades programs to 10.

Among other things, the government says the $2 million will allow students already enrolled in agriculture, equine care and food science programs to complete those programs in Kemptville in 2014-15.

How to effectively deliver your story Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - The 5 W’s – who, what, where, when and why – are critical to telling the story of a business or organization to the media. But the three I’s – interest, impact and importance – may determine if the story is even used.

So said Jamie Bramburger, manager of community and student affairs for Algonquin College waterfront campus, during his keynote address at the Ottawa Valley Tourist Association’s conference April 29.

The conference theme at Calabogie Highlands Golf Resort was Back to the Future in Communications, on which Bramburger piggybacked with video clips from the Back to the Future movie trilogy.

Keep in mind that movie character Marty was living in 1985 and Doc Brown in 1955 when Doc sees a video camera for the first time.

After learning actor Ronald Reagan had since become U.S. president, Doc says it’s little wonder since the president has to look good on television.

About the same time, in 1986, Bramburger worked as a reporter in a Sudbury newsroom of several reporters.

Since then, the landscape of journalism has changed dramatically. He gives examples, like mergers, staff reductions, disappearance of the Cobden Sun, loss of Monday editions of the Pembroke Observer, and massive cuts to CBC. “A lot is happening in journalism these days.

Newsrooms are contracting,” said Bramburger. “The radio announcer now takes pictures, and the newspaper reporter is getting a clip on an audio device. Everything is blending.”

An evolution is underway, said Bramburger, that includes “social media that has turned everybody into a reporter,” and less investigative reporting because of reduced resources and time.

But out of this evolution comes an opportunity.

“If newsrooms have less resources, less people and less content to generate news, then you have an opportunity to generate news,” he told an audience of about 75 delegates.

In other words – use an effective communications

strategy that helps journalists do their job.

To those who complain too few of their stories are used, Bramburger wonders if they have a good relationship with members of the media. And if you don’t, now is a good time to start developing one.

“You haven’t got to know them, and you haven’t told your story well enough,” said Bramburger.

Actions that facilitate coverage are as basic as returning phone calls in a timely fashion. “News happens today, not back to the future,” said Bramburger.

“If you don’t respond, somebody else will. And whether it be a good or bad story, I’d always rather be in control, and let my side of the story to be told.”

Also, if possible, tell your story in the right setting. For example, if you have a story about a rafting expedition, tell it with a raft on the water.

“The foundation of journalism really hasn’t changed over the last century,” he added.

“The benchmark is the three I’s – the interest, the importance and the impact of the story. That’s what you need to think about every time you make a pitch to the media … Then you have to answer the five W’s.”

Also, he says the media doesn’t want rambling, ineffective comments.

“They’re going to take a chunk of what you say, and they’re going to have their own bias or interpretation of what the story is…so if you can be much more concise, that’s a much better position to be in.”

Meanwhile, social media is taking off at unprecedented levels. Just the other night, Bramburger tweeted, then trended, a photo of Don Cherry on Hockey Night in Canada wearing a Boston Bruins tie. The next morning, he learned his tweet went to about 50,000 people.

“Think about the impact of a tweet you have about your business or organization, if you were linking it to a media release that you have written that might have been picked up by media,” said Bramburger.

“But you can also be your own newsroom. Why wouldn’t you be using social media to get added exposure to the story you’re telling?”

Keynote speaker Jamie Bramburger of Algonquin College’s waterfront campus in Pembroke flashes his smart phone, at the end of his address. This was a simple reminder that social media is important when organizations seek to tell their story to the media and public.
