Farrell’s Landing Road right-of-way stirs debate Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

POLICE

The debate continues over what to do with part of Horton Townshipʼs right-of-way on Farrellʼs Landing Road. An historical plaque, located at the intersection of River Road and Farrellʼs Landing Road, tells visitors that on May 26, 1851, Horton Township council passed a bylaw supporting the building of a road across the township from the old wharf on the Ottawa River. The plaque also notes that the road facilitated travel for early settlers and became known as the Ottawa and Opeongo colonization road. The monument for the plaque was made and erected, on behalf of Heritage Renfrew in 1991, by Bob Johnston, Beatty Collins and Ralph Eady. Johnston and Mae Craig are among locals who are spearheading

a campaign to ensure Farrellʼs Landing Road, (a 20-foot-wide right of way) remains in the hands of Horton Township. Most of it is a dirt road, but the final 113 feet or so to the river are partly grass and appear to belong to the adjacent residential backyard. They do not, but the dispute is whether this small piece of property should continue to be owned by the township, or leased or sold to Debbie Grantham and her husband, Dino Di Pietro. Granthamʼs family history, which goes way back in Renfrew County, includes her aunt Majorie Lindsay, the long-time historian for the Town of Renfrew, and the fact nearby Grantham Road originates with her family. Meanwhile, Grantham has been asked to have a lease agreement drawn up for consideration by the Horton planning committee. See FARRELL’S, page 2

Small levy hike in taxes Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Renfrew taxpayers should expect a minimal hike in taxes following approval of the townʼs budget Monday evening. Final figures were not available, because the council meeting carried past press deadline, but the draft budget before council called for a

levy increase of 3.35 per cent on the townʼs portion of the tax bill. Once county and school board portions of the entire bill are factored in, the levy increase was scheduled to be 1.37 per cent. That represents a hike of about $168,000 in taxes, with the townʼs portion jumping from $12.2 million to nearly $12.4 million this year. See BUDGET, page 2

Horton Twp. notes Steve Newman

Debate over Horton settlement road Continued from front

steve.newman@metroland.com

Horton council has given pre-budget approval for capital projects at the Bonnechere River boat launch. Thereʼs no guarantee what the projects will cost, but council has approved work to build washroom facilities, at an estimated cost of $4,500, and a diesel pump storage facility, for an estimated $10,600. The motion doesnʼt commit the township to doing the projects, but earmarks funds in case the projects go ahead. ACTION CORRESPONDENCE

Horton council passed all four resolutions it was asked to consider supporting May 7, including the Municipality of East Ferrisʼs one that opposes the transfer of Crown lands to the Algonquin First Nations. The same resolution calls for East Ferrisʼs request to meet with the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Minister of Natural Resources to discuss their concerns over the land selection process that has led to the land claim settlementʼs draft agreement in principle. Supporters of the resolution included Coun. Bob Kingsbury. He said there have been public meetings about the agreement, but that there has been a lack of consultation with private landowners.

Budget Continued from front

If a residential property remained valued at $100,000 this year and last year, the ownerʼs taxes will drop $8.67, from $1,446.80 to $1,438.13. Operating budget figures of note included the creation of a new Future Major Initiatives fund and two injections of funds into that account. For seven years, council has put aside $50,000 each year for a large tobe-determined recreation project, but this year that money has been redirected into the Future Major Initiatives fund (that may or may not be used for a recreation project). Council was also scheduled to place another $11,700 into the fund, after Mayor Bill Ringrose suggested an annual injection of between $10,000 and $20,000. The contribution in next yearʼs budget, depending on available funds, could be higher or lower, said treasurer Keray OʼReilly. The projected budget called for the town to maintain its annual level of capital programming through taxation. A total of $611,000 is scheduled to come from 2013 taxes, while capital projects will total $2.7 million. The other financial sources will be the $1.5 million to reconstruct two blocks of Queen Street. That will be financed about one-third each from the water fund,

sewer fund and reserves. The remaining $545,000 of the $2.7 million in capital projects will be financed through savings generated by operational changes at the landfill site. Some of the noteworthy capital expenditures will be $480,000 for a new compactor and a used loader for the landfill site; $25,000 for the McAndrew storm outlet; $15,000 to fix the post office clock; building upgrades of $65,000 for the landfill site; and $80,000 for a new portable generator that will be used for the new Coleraine subdivision and as an emergency backup for the arena. Thereʼs another $189,000 for parks and recreation projects in the proposed budget that went to council Monday night. Among those projects were $80,000 for a new ice resurfacer, $20,000 in playground equipment, $20,000 to replace the aging scoreboard and $25,000 to replace bleacher heating. For more details, on the final budget, visit www. yourottawaregion.comʼs rural north link. The budget presentation also included a 10-year forecast. Major items include $1,262,000 in town garage improvements in 2014; $3 million in work on the Hall Avenue extension into the Hunter Gate subdivision in 2015; and connecting-link work of $4 million on OʼBrien Road (between ʻConfusion Cornerʼ and Highway 17) in 2019.

2 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, May 16, 2013

Six local residents and all five council members sit on the committee, which was scheduled to meet Tuesday, May 14, after The Mercuryʼs press deadline. Items on the agenda, related to Farrellʼs Landing Road, were to include Granthamʼs presentation of a proposed lease agreement, a Heritage Renfrew delegation, and a presentation by Johnston. At the same meeting, Horton CAO Mackie McLaren was hoping to unveil the appraised value for the property in question. Horton resident Mae Craig is opposed to selling or leasing the Farrellʼs Landing Road right-of-way, at the Ottawa Riverʼs edge. She voiced her concerns in a recent letter to The Mercury. This resulted in a few calls to the township office and Mayor Don Eady by residents concerned the township would sell a property of historical value. Craig is also a member of the planning committee. The issue of historical value isnʼt lost on Grantham. “We appreciate the history. We have a picture of the old Farrellʼs LandHorton residents Mae Craig and Bob Johnston stand at the historical plaque on Opeongo ing wharf in our cottage …The hisRoad, which opened up colonization to the Upper Ottawa Valley in the mid-1800s.

And don’t want Horton Township to sell the nearby right-of-way on the Ottawa River. we, as respectable members of Horton Township, will respect that history and even put up a plaque. We have cousins and aunts in Horton Township. I hope thatʼs not overlooked. “We have a true love for the township and the area.” One reason for wanting to buy or lease the property relates to use by trespassing by one or more fourwheelers that left deep ruts in the lawn, says Grantham. She realizes the right-of-way still belongs to the township. But Grantham says there has been disrespectful use of the property in the past year. By leasing the right-of-way to her, she says the family could continue to look after that property, as it has for decades. “Weʼre peaceful people. We havenʼt been causing any problem to the townSTEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND ship all these years and we have a good The historical right-of-way on Farrell’s Landing Road includes this bush, at left, and some history in the township,” she said. “Iʼm approaching this as a proof the property to the left of Debbie Grantham’s shed. cess,” added Grantham, whoʼs convinced leaving the right-of-way open to regular public access would leave the township vulnerable to liability.

The team has been raising funds and have been very patient as the hospital works through the expansion proposals and will find the best possible site location. “In the meantime, green space enhancements will showcase the up and coming garden and offer an opportunity for families to donate to the cause.” People can learn more about the healing gardens project at the RVH Foundation office 613-432-4851, ext. 263. Eagan attended both Renfrew shows on the weekend, happy to see how the program has grown and grateful for the friends he has made. “Over the years, every step of the way has been one more friendship and philanthropic partnership,” he said. “Charlie (Kitts) has been a real conduit for my concerts,” says the man who has produced nine albums and used the bo-

nuses he has earned from his career to sponsor concerts. He said Renfrew also has a personal connection for him as former Renfrew resident Beth Ferguson, who has since passed away, travelled to the U.S. to play at one of his concerts there. Eagan also joked how, rather than Johnny Appleseed, he has gained the moniker Terry Gardenseed. And if he had his way, there would be healing gardens not just in Canada and the United States but all around the world. “This is the ideal model here,” he said, and recognized all the “good-hearted and talented people” who make fundraising concerts possible. He also expressed special admiration of country music bands for their “selfless service to the singers.” He said he never viewed healing gardens as a dream, but rather a project. “Real life is way better than a dream,” he said. And why a garden? Eaganʼs answer is simple: “Nature is good for you.” See OPRY, page 6

It all started with the seed of an idea and has blossomed into havens of peace and solace in two countries. A project that started in Waltham, Massachusetts landed found its way to Canadian Charlie Kitts, then spread to Renfrew where a committee has embraced the idea of creating a similar garden at Renfrew Victoria Hospital. Two Country Opry Shows – paying tribute to some of country musicʼs legendary stars – raised money for the local healing garden.

Environmental laws threaten rural life, McNab-Braeside council told John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

Henry Tuck is a man on a mission. The Goshen resident is sounding the alarm, charging that property-owners rights are endangered by legislation implemented under the guise of protecting the environment. Tuck maintains there is a world-wide movement afoot to use global warming and other environmental issues to justify imposing a United Nations-led world government that would place major restrictions on freedom, especially that of rural residents. In a presentation to McNab-Braeside councilĘźs planning advisory committee, he said the Ontario governmentĘźs proposed Endangered Species Act if passed will be a major tool in imposing the controls. There has been only three days of public discussion allowed on the bill, but it will be “the death knell for all activity in rural Ontario,â€? he said. “ItĘźs nothing to do with endangered species ‌ but a tool to restrict us on how we can use our land.â€? HeĘźs urging local politicians and citizens to speak up by June 30 in a bid to organize an injunction to have the legislation reviewed and revised. Tuck was scheduled to make a presentation to Horton council Tuesday. The same message is also being presented to MPPs at QueenĘźs Park this week, in a session that Tuck has encouraged Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski to attend. He said he has also raised the issue with the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, as the Endangered Species Act “will ruin all farming in the province if the eco-fascists get this

JOHN CARTER/METROLAND

In a presentation to McNab-Braeside council, Henry Tuck brought a globe bound in ropes to accentuate his point that the world is in danger of being enslaved by environmental legislation. through.â€? He claimed legislation such as the Green Energy and Endangered Species acts are “part of the Ęťtool kitĘź to kill off rural Ontario, town by town, township by township.â€? Tuck said he agrees a rational and effective system should be in place to steward OntarioĘźs natural resources and “protect genuinely endangered species if any are indeed any,â€? but it should be based on advocacy or fake science. He warned McNab-Braeside councillors to beware of any planning policies, including the County of RenfrewĘźs strategic plan, that have been developed with input from the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI). ICLEI has made inroads in the U.S. and is “well ingrainedâ€? in Canada, he said, charging the organization has been successful

in “camouaging its true identityâ€? so people wonĘźt realize its agenda “is coming from the U.N.â€? In the push to embrace environmental protections, “individual rights have taken a back seat to the collective,â€? said Tuck. The United Nations-sponsored Agenda 21 for sustainable growth is a plan to control all land, water, minerals, plants and eventually population growth, he maintained. “This has been ying under the radar. Most elected ofďŹ cials donĘźt know about it. ItĘźs scary.â€? He claims the plan is to shift the power from elected ofďŹ cials on every level to “science technocrats who will micro-manage all we do.â€? He said that the ICLEI and its supporters are using “guilt tripsâ€? and “fear-mongeringâ€? in persuading people they are to blame for “consuming the planet.â€? Their supporters are “wellintentionedâ€? and may think they are “saving the world,â€? but thatĘźs not case, he maintained. As a result, planning documents are based on misguided support for the rights of trees and rocks and not on facts, he said. “They say weĘźre ruining the planet, yet weĘźve developed only three per cent of Canada,â€? he added. The push for sustainable development could end up in removing dams and ski hills and even curtail population growth, Tuck warned. “It will be the Ministry of Natural Resources who

He suggested that 114 Canadian municipalities are card-carrying members of ICLEI and the others are indirectly afďŹ liated with the organization because the Federation of Canadian Municipalities has been a member since 1999. He said he has asked the County of Renfrew if itĘźs a member, but has yet to get a reply. McNab-Braeside council was non-committal after the presentation, although Mayor Mary Campbell noted that townships are limited in what they can do, as provincial legislation supersedes any regulations the lower tier passes. Tuck said he was inspired to speak up after reading Canadian journalist Elizabeth NicksonĘźs writings. He urged council and citizens to visit www.elizabethnickson.com.

Petition against year-round use of fireworks in Horton steve.newman @metroland.com

Horton administration and council members are satisďŹ ed with the publicconsultation process to improve the townshipĘźs noise bylaw. Updated versions of the draft bylaw have appeared on the Horton website in recent months, as council moves closer to ďŹ nalizing the bylaw. But recent opposition shows the bylaw may not be passed any time soon. River Road resident Terry Johnston, who was in the United States for part of the winter and spring, returned to hear about the possible move to allow the use of ďŹ reworks throughout the year. Previously, ďŹ reworks were limited to special days of the year, such as Canada Day and Victoria Day weekend. Johnston said the recommendations didnĘźt suit many local residents, as he pointed in delivering a petition to Horton council May 7 with 68 signatures. The petition, in part, says the ramiďŹ cations of noise emanating from ďŹ reworks “goes far beyond the viewing area of the display. This noise ‌

So much for four new transmitters working to rid the Horton community rink of nuisance pigeons. The experiment continues, as the nesting pigeons remain in the rafters. “The pigeons are making a mess and donĘźt seem to be affected by the transmitters that were put down there,â€? said Coun.

He also wondered about liability, and whoĘźs responsible if the ďŹ reworks permit holder is not negligent, within the deďŹ nition of the permitĘźs requirements, but the neighbourĘźs house still burns down. “This could get to be a very ugly situation in the day and age when insurance companies are not jumping forward to pay out claims,â€? added Johnston.

Resident Terry Johnston addresses Horton council about the township’s new draft noise bylaw.

a prepared statement in which he said the noise impact of ďŹ reworks can be signiďŹ cant, with noise reaching as far as a mile away. “This is much greater effect than running a lawn mower or even a chainsaw, (whose noise) seldom goes beyond a neighbour or two. In the proposed changes, these motorized tools are required to shut off after 8 p.m. while residents would be allowed to detonate between 9 and 11 p.m. any day of the week.â€? For Canada Day or Victoria Day weekends, he said this is ďŹ ne, especially because residents expect ďŹ reworks these times of the year. But year-round is another matter, he added. Johnston also addressed the issue of checks and balances, saying more are needed if permits are to be issued online.

said. Johnston asked for more consideration in the ďŹ reworks portion of the bylaw, and indicated he would be available for feedback. The current permit for ďŹ reworks indicates ďŹ recrackers are prohibited. It also states ďŹ reworks can only be detonated between 9 and 11 p.m., and that debris from the ďŹ reworks must not fall on adjoining property. The permit also states wind conditions must be calm, and that if itĘźs windy this permit is declared null and void. Council members responded positively to JohnstonĘźs presentation. ItĘźs good to get more feedback, said Coun. Margaret Whyte. “We have people on both sides of the fence, but we have to do our due diligence,â€? said White. “You brought up a lot of good points,â€? said Mayor Don Eady. Coun. Glen Campbell said JohnstonĘźs material was well written and presented. “WeĘźre in no rush to pass this bylaw,â€? said Coun. Bob Kingsbury. “We want to make sure we get everything right.

Physicians from Renfrew Victoria Hospital and area were put to the test in an on-site training program in early treatment of trauma and injury May 4 and 5. The Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) program, established by the American College of Surgeons, teaches a standardized approach to early treatment of trauma patients. Upon completion of the program, physicians receive a four-year ATLS certiďŹ cation, which is required for Emergency Department practice. A total of 25 physicians participated in the two-day program, while four registered nurses and ďŹ ve paramedics audited. Ten of RVHĘźs full-time physicians and ďŹ ve casual physicians who work regularly in the RVH Emergency Department participated, while the other 10 physicians came from hospitals in Pembroke, Almonte, Deep River, Arnprior and Ottawa.

RenfrewĘźs ďŹ fth annual Great Downtown Garage Sale received rave reviews. Fifty-four vendors bought space for just $10 each, while some downtown businesses also took their wares outdoors to attract customers for the May 4 event. One of the main events hosted by the Renfrew Business Improvement Area each year, the sale was bigger and better than ever, according to visitors and vendors. The sunny Saturday sale attracted good numbers, partly with the help of Renfrew Collegiate InstituteĘźs Tag Day festivities for the May 2013 Relay for Life. Tag Day events included a canteen, inatable slide, bake sale, hair feather sales and car washes. “It was very successful,â€? said vendor Cecil Knight, who was selling tshirts, childrenĘźs toys and accessories. “ThereĘźs more participation this year, both from vendors and from people looking.â€? Knight even picked up a guitar, from another vendor, for his grandson Ethan. Douglas resident Mark Bingham, who was selling unique birdhouses, said sales were very good. The Rotary Club of Renfrew set up its site in front of Scotiabank, where they had good customer response. That was in part due to the inaugural appearance of their mascot, Renno, and the explanation that theyĘźre trying to raise $12,000 to address new upgrades for their Renfrew Fair bacon-on-a-bun booth. Required by the Technical Standards and Safety Authority, the upgrades are for the booth they rent each September. Vendor Veronda Brydges of Ompah, who was selling spices, dips and t-shirts, said the giant garage sale was awesome, while shopper Jennifer Petitclerc of Calgary was impressed. “ItĘźs awesome. I really am enjoying it, just all the variety,â€? said Petitclerc. “I love the quaint little downtown, and I like the bakeryĘźs restaurant,â€? she said in reference to the Bonnechere Bakery.

Local Sens fans rejoice The signs of spring are many in Renfrew and across the Ottawa Valley. Flowers are in bloom, joggers, walkers and cyclists are more common sights along the Millennium Trail and restaurant patios are once again becoming an afternoon destination. Thereʼs definitely something else in the air this spring, however. There are a few more little red flags perched on the tops of cars, there are a more red T-shirts and jerseys marked by a distinctive Spartan logo adorning passers-by. Yes, hockey fever has hit the Ottawa Valley a bit harder this spring. The Ottawa Senators eased past the Montreal Canadiens in five games last week, including a pair of raucous encounters at Scotiabank Place. The Sens Mile, the nickname given to Elgin Street in Ottawa come playoff time, is once again an exuberant, festive gathering place for both hard-core fans and fair-weather faithful alike. Securing passage to the second round of the National Hockey League playoffs will only draw larger crowds. The city once dubbed the worst sports city in Canada is once again showing how off the mark such a comment was. As one Metroland Media employee in Ott-

tawa wrote, “It is times like these, when a city institution becomes something more than just a local curiosity, that the true value of sports teams becomes apparent. It turns everyone wearing Senators garb into a friendly face. It gives everyone at school or the office a chance to talk about something that is exciting and current, allowing people to cast aside their everyday worries and fears for a few fleeting weeks.” But it doesnʼt happen every year – the last time the Senators won a playoff round was 2007, when they reached the Stanley Cup final – and it only occurs in the springtime. Ottawans have only one hometown rooting interest when it comes to professional team sports so far, but thatʼs about to change. By the end of 2014, there will be a couple more players on the block in the form of Canadian Football League and North American Soccer League franchises. It will take a while for Ottawa fans to warm to their new clubs, but all it will likely take is a good postseason run to capture the sporting imagination. Letʼs enjoy these days and celebrate with our city cousins as they revel in this buzz of excitement in our nationʼs capital.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Renfrew Mercury Web Poll

Let the children come unto me To the editor: When my wife and I were raising our two girls we made sure they were given the word of Jesus and Our Lord, just as we had in younger years. In both generations, my father and myself were the workers bringing in the income. Our wives had no need to go out and work, they were full-time moms with the pre-school children and were able to give them lots of love, advice and affection. At this time, we had a very strong Sunday school with lots of children. I remember one Christmas when I was dressed up to be Santa, complete with a large beard. I was on stage in the basement of the church, giving out small gifts. My girls, age 4 and 6, were sitting in the front row when suddenly my four-year-old pointed her finger and shouted, “Thatʼs my daddy!” She had seen my wrist watch. These were wonderful and rewarding times for my wife and I. Now, in most cases, both moms and dads are off to work each day and they are both tired out on weekends, if not working. The young ones go to day care. In my younger and dadʼs younger years there were no organized day care centres.

No need for them. Children are out future generation. As Jesus said, “Let the children come unto me.” How can they if they donʼt know Jesus? In our church the attendance of children is small and most times we have no Sunday school. What can we do? Well, if we do anything it will, I think, be long-term with slow results. But if we do nothing, our church, down the road, will probably be void of a congregation. We should concentrate on the needs to bring children and their parents into our fold. Which is exactly what Our Lord would want us to do. Following are a few basic suggestions: 1. We need to have a well-manned and well-equipped Sunday school with some outside school activities. 2. We need to spread the news about this throughout the area. 3. We need to concentrate on this above all other church activities. Now before I finish, letʼs take another step forward and consider Christian day care centres, for parents who wish to have their children introduced to the love of Jesus and Our Lord, in the childʼs early years.

8 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, May 16, 2013

Are you happy with the provincial budget?

The administration of these centres should be both church and province to keep the children safe. This is a bold step, but could have wonderful results. Am I dreaming? Maybe not. I think this would also help to blend churches together. If it did, it would be one of the greatest blessings we could have. We would be moving in the direction of Godʼs kingdom. A short time ago I read a report in The Renfrew Mercury headed ʻChristian school to celebrate its final year.ʼ To me, and I am sure many others, this is sad news. Maybe it will turn around. If it doesnʼt, I have a suggestion to change the Christian school into a Christian day care centre. This will take a lot of community work and will need the involvement of many church groups. Will these few Christian sparks go out, or will many more of our little ones have a guiding light to Jesus and Our Heavenly Father. God bless.

TWO VERY RARE SPECIES

Cedric Wright sent us these observations from a field trip on Gillan Road and Lime Kiln Road. “On May 3, I saw a small sparrow perched in a low bush on the edge of a wet, overgrown field, on Gillan Road. The bird had a central white stripe across the crown surrounded by two black bars like a white-crowned or white-throated sparrow. However, below the black stripes around the eye, the colouring was very light orange-brown. The breast was off-white, almost buff, and there were dark streaks on the sides, outer breast and upper flanks. The beak was dark. I believe it was a Le Conte’s sparrow. Today, May 6, I saw a pair of eastern towhees in a tree, not far from where I saw the Le Conte’s sparrow. They remained on the branch for at least a minute, and then flew down into the long grass. It

JIM FERGUSON Scene from the Hawk’s Eye was my first ever sighting of this species.” Cedric Wright RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRDS

A huge wave of hummingbirds arrived every day last week. The earliest arrivals appeared on Monday, May 4. The birds returned over a wide area at the same time were seen at many feeders. Ron Huntley had the birds at his feeders on May 4 at 3 p.m. The birds were males and spent their time trying to drive other males away from the feeders. Ron uses a mixture of one part sugar and one part water at this time of year. As the season progresses and more flower nectar is available, he decreases the amount of sugar and increases the amount of water. Kathy Hobbs said that hummingbirds arrived at their home on the morning of May 5. Last year she had put the feeders out Friday, May 4, and the hummingbirds arrived May

9. Marilyn Keizer saw hummingbirds at her feeders on May 6. May 4 to 12 seems to be the most popular dates for the arrival of hummingbirds. The maleʼs mating display is a series of deep “U” shaped arcs displayed above a perching female. The display is accompanied by a loud humming sound at the bottom of each arc. MIMICS

This email is from Regina and Ray Puhalski. We were surprised to hear the mockingbird for a second year. We saw two brown birds run across the backyard from our clump of birches where they seem to reside. I recognized the flickering tail, similar to the mockingbirds and I am guessing that this must be the brown thrasher. No gray catbirds as yet. It’s delightful hearing their songs, along with all the other birds. We also have a mallard duck that has built a nest under a small spruce tree. She got very excited when I was raking winter debris and got too near her nest. She started wandering around trying to distract me, until I finally saw the nest. We left the area to give her some peace. It’s always a pleasure seeing them close up. Regina and Ray A BALD EAGLE

The spring migration is in full swing to say the very least. It seems as if the birds were waiting in resting areas further south and when the weather became satisfactory for migration, south winds, and warm temperatures, they left and headed north. Ruby-throated hummingbirds, rosebreasted grosbeaks, brown thrashers, mockingbirds, sparrows, swallows, whip-poor-wills and many other species have made the trip safely.

There was plenty of both in Our Lady of Fatima church hall Saturday afternoon as the parish Catholic Womenʼs League hosted a fundraiser that shared its proceeds 50/50 with the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village doctor recruitment program. The event was so popular, in fact, that at one point the organizers actually ran our of tea, but emcee Pauline Hughes was quick to assure that, “big soup pots of tea are on the go.” An impressive 208 people from across the community participated. To add a special touch, local businesses purchased chair covers for the CWL that can now be used to dress up the chairs for future events in the hall. “Itʼs been a lot of fun to organize this,” said Hughes. “Everyone has been so enthusiastic.” Entertainment opened with Jim Millar singing Being a Mom; Cathy Black reciting the poem The Meanest Mother in the World; and Mary McCann reading Love You Forever by Robert Munch. Father Ryan Holly offered Grace before an afternoon that also included door prizes and a silent auction.

Looking upstream for solutions to Muskrat Lake’s algae problem Ottawa River Institute

It is no secret that each summer, ugly, smelly, and potentially harmful algal blooms cover significant portions of Muskrat Lake near Cobden. A February 2012 article by Lucy Hass in The Renfrew Mercury quotes MNR Pembroke District issues and information officer Doug Skeggs as saying “It is, without a doubt, the biggest environmental challenge that we face in Renfrew County today.” On March 19, 2012 Whitewater Region council members met with provincial officials (natural resources, agriculture, environment), county health officials, and consultants to discuss this challenge. The meeting report says that 40 years of testing by the Ministry of Environment (MOE) has pinpointed the cause of the problem: elevated levels of the plant nutrient element phosphorus. According to a MOE website, “Phosphorus is the element that controls the growth of algae in most Ontario

lakes.” By stimulating algal growth, elevated phosphorus decreases water clarity, and in extreme cases leads to algal blooms that “affect the aesthetics of the lake and/or cause taste and odour problems in the water.” Lakes fall into three broad categories with respect to phosphorus: 0-10, 10-20, and more than 20 micrograms per liter (20 mg/L). The MOE website says “Lakes over 20mg/L… may exhibit persistent, nuisance algal blooms.” The MOE provides phosphorus data for Muskrat Lake and nearby lakes in the Muskrat and Snake River watersheds that drain into Muskrat Lake. Phosphorus in Muskrat Lake generally exceeds 20mg/L throughout the icefree period and has gone as high as 65mg/L. Nearby lakes (Jeffrey Lake upstream on the Muskrat River, Mink Lake and Lake Dore in the Snake River watershed) have phosphorus in the 5-20 mg/L range: enough to stimulate fish production without triggering algal blooms. Where does the excess phos-

phorus in Muskrat Lake come from? The March 2012 meeting report says that two MOE studies (2005 and 2009) agree “a majority of phosphorus comes down the Snake River with smaller proportions from the Cobden Sewage Treatment Plan or adjacent landowners.” Upstream from Osceola the Snake River and Mink Creek have been ditched and straightened, draining the former Upper Osceola Marsh. A boat trip down these ditched waterways allows viewing of the intensive agricultural cultivation in the organic matter-rich soils of the drained marsh. Much of the area was planted in corn last year, reflecting high corn prices. Long stretches of these ditched portions of the Snake River and Mink Creek have essentially no permanent vegetation on their banks. During spring flooding, corn stubble in the lowest row of the fields is only inches from the waterʼs edge. Banks are eroding in a few spots. Downstream from Osceola one enters the Snake River Marsh. The MNR purchased portions of the marsh and

designated them as a conservation reserve. Here, cattails and reeds grow in the river, the banks are lined with red osier dogwood, and waterfowl fill the skies. An MNR report on the Snake River Marsh says that the marsh “provides a filtering function for the watershed, catching and holding onto nutrients and chemicals in the runoff from agricultural lands upriver.” But does it catch and hold onto all the phosphorus? Algae in Muskrat Lake say “No”. I called Sid Vanderveen, technical expert for the Drainage Act in the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) about the Muskrat Lake/Snake River situation. Vanderveen said that the Drainage Act has been around for 100 years. For most of that time the concern was getting water off the land as fast as possible. No doubt this was the main concern 50 years ago when the Snake River channel was dynamited upstream from Osceola, lowering the river level and draining over 1,000 acres

provements through a grant. Community discussions about how to pay for the buffer strips could include Muskrat Lake landowners, including cottagers, who stand to benefit from greatly improved water quality, in addition to municipal officials and farmers. Sharing costs and benefits of re-establishing natural mechanisms for cleaning up the Snake River would be a “cutting edge” initiative. The issue of algae in Muskrat Lake cannot be addressed by a single municipality acting alone. It is a watershed-scale problem. Municipal officials, farmers and community members from Whitewater Region need to join with upstream municipalities and communities to solve Renfrew Countyʼs biggest environmental challenge. Ole Hendrickson is a forest ecologist and founding member of the Ottawa River Institute (www.ottawariverinstitute.ca), a non-profit organization that fosters sustainable communities and ecological intergrity in the Ottawa Valley.

of the Upper Osceola Marsh for agriculture. According to Vanderveen, there are few new drainage proposals these days. Now, the Drainage Act is increasingly used for broader environmental purposes such as restoring wetlands, in light of their ability to filter nutrients and maintain downstream water quality. In the case of the Snake River, Vanderveen suggested using the Drainage Act as a tool to create buffer strips to take up excess phosphorus running off farm fields into the Snake River. This would involve preparing an engineerʼs report, passing a municipal bylaw, and assessing the costs of buffers on property owners in the watershed: both establishment costs and lost revenue from reduced farm acreages. This would be a “community approach” rather than one driven by provincial regulation. Vanderveen noted that farmers wouldnʼt like losing some of their lands to buffer strips - no surprise there – but OMAFRA pays one third of the costs to farmers of the im-

Bernadette McCann House benefits from women’s show Chris Rosebrughʼs company, Celebrations, hosted its first annual womenʼs show Saturday afternoon at the AFAC Wing in Renfrew. “We had a good variety of vendors,” special events co-ordinator Rosebrough reported. “The show featured entrepreneurs, company representatives and artisans.” Fifty-eight businesses were registered and 65 tables booked. “The vendors graciously donated items to help us fund

raise for the Bernadette McCann House for women. We were able to raise $340 through our raffle and silent auction,” Rosebrugh said. The first 100 women through the door received a free gift and coupons were given out to redeem for a free Stroopwaffle at Leahʼs Stoopwaffles, one of the showʼs featured exhibitors. The showʼs sponsors were My IT Works and Isagenix. Our featured exhibitors were My It Works, Isagenix, Bethʼs

Kitchen, Leahʼs Stroopwaffles, Ceramic Ceramics Studio & Gifts, Usborne Books, Liv & Dee Jewelry, Something Special, and Thirty One Gifts. “I am very happy with the show. I canʼt thank the people at the Wing enough for their marvelous work setting up and assisting us with some last minute preparations. “We are already thinking about next year and plans are in the works for a similar show in the fall,” Rosebrugh reported.

Considering the value of fresh water Kathy Lindsay and Allyson Quinlan Bonnechere River Watershed Project

concerned about its degradation. Information about water quality is not readily available, so the BRWP initiated a RiverWatch program to assess the health of the river and its tributaries. The results so far show cause for concern. During the summer months of 2009 to 2011, 28 stream sites were assessed, whose combined catchment area (i.e., the land drained by the water running through a site) covered 41 per cent of the watershed. Based on analysis the species composition and abundance of pollution-tolerant versus intolerant benthic macroinvertebrates (spineless animals in stream beds), overall health status was rated as good for about half of the sites and catchment area sampled (12 streams), fair for another third (10 streams) and poor for the rest (six streams). The results for each site and catchment have been displayed on maps, profiled in creek information sheets and analyzed according to local jurisdiction(s) within its catchment in the BRWP RiverWatch reports. In 2011, eight of 14 local jurisdictions within the water-

The Bonnechere River Watershed Project (BRWP) has been talking with locals for the past 15 years about what they value most about living in the Bonnechere valley: fresh water. To understand freshwater, we need to know about watersheds. A watershed is the land area that is drained by a river, its streams and creeks (tributaries) and its lakes. Itʼs like a large bowl in which all the water that enters the system (from above as precipitation and from below as groundwater), collects at the lowest point, and flows collectively to an exit point. The watershed for the Bonnechere River encompasses an area of 2,400 sq. km. (nearly half the size of Prince Edward Island) with its headwaters in Algonquin Park and its exit point, 145 km away, at its confluence with the Ottawa River, just downstream from Renfrew. How do we know that? By using a geographical information system (GIS) to analyze contour maps of topographic (terrain and elevation) information surrounding the river. Thus, watersheds are defined by natural boundaries which cut across administrative units, such as townships and counties. But not only do locals value good water quality for the Bonnechere River watershed, they are also

shed had at least one site rated as poor. There is a need for local municipalities to work together to monitor the health of the Bonnechere River watershed and with residents to employ stewardship best practices to protect and restore its freshwater quality. Currently, environmental decision-making for the Bonnechere River watershed is not very well coordinated across municipalities and other local government to deal with watershed-related issues. In other parts of Ontario, conservation authorities or grass-roots partnerships (like the BRWP) have been established to produce reliable information and watershed report cards to understand multiple stressors impacting the watershed. They also provide experienced advice, champion watershed health, and work with local stakeholders to produce integrated watershed plans to guide land use, water management and other human activities for more cost-effective water and land conservation that will leave a legacy of clean water, natural shorelines, and sustainable land use for future generations. The need for more collaborative governance and collective action within the Bonnechere River watershed is particularly pressing now, given impending effects of a changing climate. Stay tuned for more on this.

Woodlot AGM: drought, climate change and Renfrew County trees Sherry Haaima sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Renfrew County woodlot owners have a better idea of how climate change and last yearĘźs drought is affecting their trees and how they can prepare for whatĘźs to come. The annual general meeting of the Renfrew chapter of the Ontario Woodlot Association featured two speakers who shed light on the long term implications of both climate change and the drought. The event at the Eganville Community Arena April 20 was entitled ĘťYour trees, the drought of 2012 and the outlook of the future.Ęź Steve DĘźEon was charged with the task of informing woodlot owners just how last yearĘźs drought is impacting their trees. DĘźEon is a knowledge exchange specialist with the Canadian Wood Fibre

Centre and and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources in Pembroke, is also program forester for the forest stewardship committee of Renfrew County. The drought of 2012 is classiďŹ ed a single year drought, he explained, and to fully gauge the impact from a tree perspective you need to look at the periodicity of the drought. A summer drought is more devastating than a fall one. “May to August is when trees really need the moisture in the soil,â€? said DĘźEon. In Renfrew County, little to no rain and increased forest ďŹ re numbers were the reality in 2012. Pembroke MNR ďŹ re departments recorded 46 ďŹ res compared to the one counted in 2011. The weather turned hot early in 2012 and the rain just didnĘźt come ItĘźs important for a tree that

in spring the soil gets completely full of moisture. “In a normal year thatĘźs occurring between April and May,â€? said DĘźEon. “In 2012 that period was about a month early. It started out wet but dried out quickly and the trees were looking for moisture in the soil that was not there.â€? When trees are candling they need moisture and in 2012 trees candled up and didnĘźt grow, said DĘźEon. Areas more heavily impacted included recently harvested area, newly planted trees and in areas where overtapping may have occurred. Another thing that must be considered is that effects are cumulative on trees. Periods before 2012 must be taken into account and the stress of last yearĘźs drought will continue on past 2012, he said.

Woodlot AGM Continued from page 18

he said. “Itʼs something our kids and our kidsʼ kids are going to have to deal with.” Forests are under pressure, for lots of reasons including urban expansion, pollution and invasive species. The Mixedwood Plains Ecozone is one of two main forests in Southern Ontario and it reaches an arm right up the Ottawa Valley, he said. Nielsen explained there was recently a national study completed to report on state of forests in Canada. The “report card” is still a draft and hasnʼt been released yet, he said, but he was able to share some of the data, which indicates the forest cover is highly fragmented, based on the quality of the land. “Where you can farm it, itʼs been farmed,” said Nielsen. “That fragmentation is a point where weʼve lost ecosystem

more stress to the trees. Speaker Gary Nielsen, climate change project co-ordinator for the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, started out by canvassing the crowd for anyone who denies climate change exists. No hands went up to that question but a handful of audience members raised hands when asked if they were confused about the issue. “Thereʼs a lot of misinformation out there and itʼs bloody hard just to figure out whatʼs real and whatʼs not real,” said Nielsen. “Climate change hasnʼt been a factor yet, but towards the end of the century itʼs going to rise from the middle of the pack and itʼs going to become the most significant cause of biodiversity loss in the future,” Climate change is one of those accelerating concerns, R0012100473_0516

Effects include trees outright dying, dying from the outside in, root dieback, reduced height growth and structural or mechanical defects that make trees more susceptible. Early leaf fall was another effect. He issued a reminder to those in attendance. “Resource is the site, the trees are the crop,” he said. Stress on trees already affected by the drought will be increased if they are not already healthy. “Off-site species, extreme soils, sandy-gravelly soil, poorly managed stands,” can all be factors in trees that continue to do poorly. What should landowners know? “The best advice is keep your forests healthy and properly managed,” said DʼEon. “Donʼt get over excited and run out and clear cut the whole thing. Donʼt jump to conclusions, monitor what youʼve got.” Have a close look at your trees. “Expect to see things start flushing soon and if theyʼre flushing, they got some life in them, theyʼre not flushing theyʼre dead.” If in doubt, he said, take a bud from the side, not the top, of a tree. Snap it off and examine the core. Brown cores mean the tree is most likely dead. “Green means that bud will flush and give you a new green shoot,” said DʼEon. Another thing to keep in mind, he said, is to seek qualified advice for what you donʼt know. Take a long-term perspective, he urged. Thereʼs some question as to what can be done with dead or dying material. “Should you let it be or go out and cut it down?” he asked. One factor that might be considered is its value. “Is it marketable? Would you get some money for it or would you have to pay someone to take it down?” he said. Also important is to not add more stress. Cattle on woodlot is not a good idea, he said. Donʼt compact soil, remove organic matter, or allow wind to come through, all which would add

function. Thereʼs a lack of cover and lack of continuity.” With temperatures on the rise, a fact he backed up with diagrams and figures, and a 30 per cent increase in population expected in the next 20 years, “Weʼve got a lot of homework to do. This system wonʼt be able to absorb and deal with climate change.” And while the Mixedwood Plains Ecozone is in somewhat of a fragile state, itʼs still the most diverse in terms of species. “Itʼs known as the banana belt of Canada,” said Nielsen, adding there are 2,700 species found and it boasts 25 per cent forest cover. “But that percentage is misleading.” Urban expansion and other factors mean there are less old, large and remote stands of trees and more early successional stands and converted forests.

Raider junior teams win on opening day

Kraft Celebration Tour could include the Ottawa Valley

Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

RCI SUBMISSION

Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports fans who follow TSN know what the Kraft Celebration Tour is all about. Since 2009, Canadians have been invited to nominate their city or town for the chance to win $25,000 toward a community project that improves an existing space or helps create a brand new one. Each winning community will host one of 10 live broadcasts of Canadaʼs most-watched sports news program, SportsCentre as part of this summerʼs cross-country tour from Aug. 16 to 25. So what do you think of watching SportsCentre live in Renfrew ... or in Horton Township? It could happen! The two communities have each submitted a nomination, and on June 30, TSN and its Frenchlanguage Quebec affiliate RDS will announce the 20 finalists selected by a panel of judges. Then itʼs up to Canada to decide the 10 winning Kraft Celebration Tour stops via 10 weekdays of head-to-head online voting beginning July 8. To nominate a community, a short essay and up to five photos explaining why their community deserves to be a part of the Kraft Celebration Tour and how the $25,000 community award will go towards the creation or improvement of a local community space had to be submitted. The essay also had to point out how the award would help promote community spirit, a passion for sports, and an active lifestyle.

Renfrew Collegiate teacher-coach Adam Noack sent TSN a nomination on behalf of Renfrew. “Itʼs a little project taken on by my Grade 12 challenge and change class,” Noack said. “We are looking to use the prize money to improve Stewart Field facilities and to “renew the blue in celebrating RCI sports history. We would also like $5,000 to go to NHA/NHL Museum,” Noack said. On May 30 and 31, Noackʼs class will be hitting social media in an effort to get #renfrewkraft2013 trending on Twiitter. Their Twitter feed is @Renfrew_KraftCT and their nomination essay is available at http://www. kraftcelebrationtour.ca/en/ nominate/profile/renfrewcollegiate-institute/ HORTON RECREATION

Vern Barr of the Horton Recreation Department made his nomination on behalf of the township “Funds would go to an addition to the community centre,” Barr said. “Twenty-five thousand dollars would certainly go a long way to help.” This event would be a real benefit to the community should the bid to host SportsCentre be successful, Barr added. Horton plans to promote its TSN Kraft Celebration Tour bid at numerous events over the next few weeks. The township is holding a walkathon on June 23, and a beach volleyball tournament, and fishing derby plus a barbecue July 6 during a free family fishing weekend.

Jaguar junior boys out run Wolves Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

The St. Josephʼs Jaguar junior boys scored an impressive 5-1 win over the visiting Madawaska Valley District Wolves in Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association soccer action May 6. Coaches Stacey McGregor and Trent Skelhorn said the team played extremely well and looks to improve upon their skills as the season progresses. The Jaguar junior girls suffered a tough 1-0 setback to the Barryʼs Bay school. The

Jaguars dominated, but didnʼt get the result, coach Renee Turcotte said. Anna Holtʼs goal on a penalty shot was the difference in the junior girls 1-0 win over the Renfrew Collegiate Raiders May 7 at Ma-Te-Way Park. Brittany Cabral earned his second shutout of the 2013 season. Jessie Vaive posted his second consecutive shutout and the Jaguar senior girls returned home 3-0 winners over Madawaska Valley. Rachael Barr, Candace Albanese and Ashley Hume were goalgetters for coach Mike

McMahonʼs squad. A Hume marker and Vaiveʼs third shutout were the difference in a 1-0 senior girls win over Arnprior May 9. Evan Naismith also posted his third consecutive shutout in the senior boys scoreless draw against the Arnprior Redmen. Jaguars coach Mark Valliquette said his team outpaced the defending champions throughout the game. The junior boys ran to a 1-1 draw versus the Jeanne Lajoie Chevaliers. Phil Pilon kicked home the St. Josephʼs marker with about 15 minutes remaining.

It’s about a 50-50 chance for RCI’s Andrea Martin, left, or Molly Bruce of the St. Joseph’s Jaguars to come up with the ball. The two Renfrew schools traded 1-0 UOVHSAA junior soccer decisions Thursday at Ma-Te-Way Park. The Jaguars took the girls clash while the Raiders prevailed in the boys confrontation.

Renfrew Collegiate Raiders junior squads were victorious on the opening day of the 2013 Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association soccer season May 6. Rookies led the way in the junior girls 3-2 win over the Bishop Smith Crusaders. Sabrina Gill and Sage Melville booted the Raiders into a 2-0 lead. Courtney Roach later struck for the game winner from outside the 18foot box. Fullback Meagan Coad and midfielders Megan Bulmer and Lindsay Lynch had good efforts for coach Ed Oegemaʼs team. The junior boys posted an impressive 4-1 win over the defending UOVHSAA and EOSSAA champion Crusaders. Nick Hazen and Austin Scheunemen notched two goals each for the Raiders. Billy Karras was stellar in net for the Junior Raiders, coached by Todd Stewart and Adam Noack. The junior boys then posted a 1-0 win over the St. Josephʼs Jaguars on the strength of a Karras shutout and second-half goal by Nick Hazen May 7. Depth was the difference in the outcome on a hot afternoon, coach Noack said. RCI senior teams opened 2013 in Arnprior May 2. The Redmen won the girls encounter 2-0 and fended off the boys squad 3-2. Liam Beattie and Ahmad Moumne scored for RCI. At home on the Ma-Te-Way pitch May 9, the senior girls got a goal from Adrianne Guty with two minutes remaining to pull out a 3-2 win over Madawaska Valley District Wolves.

MacNeil sets pace on first Ladies Days at Renfrew GC Kim Vandewouw From the Ladies Tee

PETER CLARK/METROLAND

Drew Taylor at the first tee of the Dragonfly Golf Links.

Dragonfly welcomes new club professional Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

The Dragony Golf Links has a new face looking forward to the summer of 2013 and meeting the people of the Ottawa Valley. Drew Taylor has taken over the reigns as the clubĘźs general manager and head golf professional. Taylor is from Mississauga where he was born and raised. “I played my junior golf at Brampton Golf Club. I got into the golf business in 1978,â€? he said. After being the head pro at a number of clubs in Ontario, Taylor moved to the Maritimes for eight years. “I was head professional and general manager and head professional at two clubs there, in New Glasgow,â€? he said. “After eight years, we wanted to get back to Ontario. This job was posted, I applied and here I am.â€? Taylor appreciates the reasonable proximity the Renfrew area has to his roots, about four hours. “This is great. ItĘźs just down the road. “I ďŹ nd it very much like Nova Scotia as far as the town. Everybody is super friendly. The Valley seems really nice. IĘźm happy to be here, thatĘźs for sure.â€? Today, the 57-year-old grandfather of six is residing in Braeside. Three grown children live in the Mississauga area. He noted that wife Alison and his youngest daughter will be moving up from Nova Scotia at the end of the school year. Taylor is getting a feel

for the Dragony. “IĘźm just ďŹ nding my way around right now. WeĘźll be constantly trying to improve the golf course. I think is a fabulous layout. ItĘźs a challenging golf course as well. “We can always get better, and thatĘźs what we are looking for,â€? he added. “WeĘźve kept most of the staff in place,â€? Murphy said. “We have a few new people. I feel we have a great crew here. IĘźm looking forward to working with them closely.â€? He noted events and marketing manager Andrew Dick, who has helped Taylor get acquainted with the place, ofďŹ ce manager Tammy Logan, Margi Bond, who will be cooking up some specials throughout the golf season, greens superintendent Don Voldock and Shawn OĘźGorman in the pro shop. Taylor said the club will be very active with the marketing and the promotions side. TheyĘźll be holding a number of specials throughout the golf season. One promotion can be seen regularly on the street. The Dragony Smart Car gives the club good exposure downtown. “ThereĘźs a lot to learn,â€? Taylor said of the Dragony. “IĘźve only been two months on the job. You donĘźt really see it until it happens, you know, things are rolling along. ThereĘźs things you notice, youĘźve got to change. ItĘźs a training period.â€? The Dragony Golf Links at 955A Opeongo Rd. can be reached at 613432-3838.

www.cherylgallant.com Leadership on the economy is something that average Canadians, those who work hard, obey the law and pay their taxes, understand. While there are many benefits to the passing of Budget 2013 for the people in the great Riding of RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke, I intend to focus on those aspects of this important statement of Federal Government Economic policy that is of interest to my constituents. A number of my Parliamentary colleagues are proud of the many immediate, beneficial measures in this budget, such as how municipalities, seniors, veterans and students for example, will benefit, I focused on the future, and why the sound economic policy in this budget is so important for the future prosperity of the Ottawa Valley and our nation. Innovation Valley North Innovation Valley North is what the Upper Ottawa Valley will become by adopting the measures in this budget. Innovation Valley North represents jobs of the future, and the long-term economic future of the Upper Ottawa Valley, Eastern Ontario and Canada. Innovation Valley North in the Ottawa Valley is the combined impacts of the Defence and Nuclear industry and Aerospace industries coming together to respond to the various initiatives announced in budget 2013. Their synergy has the potential to create new employment and sustain existing jobs as our local economy positions itself to take advantage of such budget measures as the almost $1 billion in the Strategic Aerospace and Defence Initiative (SADI) to enhance the competitiveness of Canada’s economically important aerospace and defence industries, which include businesses like Allen-Vanguard Inc. in Pembroke. By encouraging new Innovations in Canada’s Aerospace Sector , and by creating the Aerospace Technology Demonstration Programs ($110 million over five years, beginning in 2014-15, and $55 million each year after), we will support large-scale technology projects with commercial potential for companies like Magellan Aerospace in Haley Station and Arnprior Aerospace. Critical to the “Innovation Valley North” is the hub, the ideas generator which turn in to new employers. In the upper Ottawa Valley we are very fortunate to have two hubs that form the nucleus of Innovation Valley North. The first hub is the Chalk River Laboratories of Atomic Energy of Canada. Budget 2013 invests $144 million in the continued operation of AECL’s Chalk River Laboratories to ensure Canada has a reliable supply of medical isotopes. This investment in the future of AECL represents a vote of confidence in AECL, and its 2700 local employees to complement the previous announcement made by our government to continue the process of modernization at the Chalk River Laboratories by moving to a Government-owned, Contractor operator (GoCo) governance model. A Government Owned Contactor Operated (GOCO) model of governance, following the U.S. and British practice, provides for a proven, cost effective, high accountability approach to management and operations of a national laboratory. A GOCO partnership shares the risk between government and the private sector. It allows each partner to perform duties for which it is uniquely suited: the government establishes mission areas and sets performance target, and the private sector implements the missions using best business practices that ensure simultaneous excellence—excellent technology solutions delivered by the best scientists, engineers and managers; excellent operations, protecting employees, the public and the environment; and excellent community involvement, contributing to important economic needs. A comprehensive program of technology transfer and commercialization implemented by the Chalk River National Nuclear Laboratory would sustain, attract and/or create companies and employment in the upper Ottawa Valley as a technology research and development hub. Innovation Valley North in the upper Ottawa Valley is a partnership, taking advantage of the AECL platform of knowledge, assisted by many initiatives announced in Budget 2013. This is all about putting in place the conditions for Canada’s knowledge Industry to thrive. During the decade of darkness under the old government, AECL was directionless and starved for funding, just like our military was. Throughout the late 1990s AECL could not even complete a budget, its future was so uncertain. You cannot build a future on false promises. As a consequence, the 1990s was a lost decade of opportunity for Canada’s nuclear industry. The field of nuclear science and technology has potential for innovation in clean energy technologies, both directly related to nuclear energy and in strategic areas of technology overlap such as hydrogen technologies. The next generation of nuclear reactors, generation four technologies, will reduced capital cost, enhance nuclear safety, minimize generation of nuclear waste and further reduce of the risk of weapons proliferation through the use of natural uranium. Budget 2013 provides $325 million to support the development and demonstration of new, clean technologies in Ontario and across Canada that create savings for Canadian businesses and support job creation for Canadians. One of the by-products of a generation four power reactor is hydrogen, which can be used as a clean fuel for vehicles, or to be stored until needed for other uses. When hydrogen is used as fuel in an internal combustion engine modified to use hydrogen, water is what comes out the tailpipe. The Canadian Nuclear industry has a critical role to play in climate change and the economy, to keep the price of electricity affordable and protect the air we breathe. The second hub in the upper Ottawa Valley that has the best potential is CFB Petawawa. Our government is committed to providing our men and women in uniform with the best equipment to do the many tasks we ask them to do on our behalf. It only makes sense for defence procurement to support economic opportunities for all Canadians. As “Training Ground of the Warriors”, Canadian Forces Base Petawawa, the people of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke have greatly benefited from the implementation of our Conservative Government’s Canada First Defence Strategy. Our Canada First strategy reversed the “decade of darkness,” the hollowing out of our military by the old government the voters of Canada wisely replaced in 2006. The opportunity exists for more local civilian work, aided by our Government’s Eastern Ontario Development program and budget 2013 providing $920 million to renew the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern and Eastern Ontario (FedDev Ontario). Since its creation in 2009, FedDev Ontario has supported over 340 projects and has played an important role in building a stronger economy in Eastern Ontario. As part of the renewal of FedDev Ontario, $200 million will be invested in a new Advanced Manufacturing Fund to help the province’s manufacturing industry innovate and become more competitive. The Innovation Valley North potential is here, brimming with potential. As your Federal Member of Parliament I am ready to work together to help make our future dreams a reality. Can I count on your support? As your Federal Member of Parliament, I am pleased to represent you on a variety of issues. Whether that issue is eliminating the long gun registry, promoting agriculture, international trade, AECL, the military or jobs in the working forest, I am here to serve you! As always, if you have any concerns of a federal nature, or just want to share your views with me, please do not hesitate to contact my office.

Valley Pride fourth at Ontario Cup Jody Moore, Valley Pride Bantam head coach

The U14 edition of the Valley Pride girls basketball team had a successful conclusion to their season with a fourth-place ďŹ nish at the Ontario Cup provincial championships held in Ottawa April 12 to 14. The girls played a strong game on Friday but lost a close one to the second seeded St. Thomas Shock 38-31. A great performance on Saturday morning against No. 3-ranked Oxford Attack resulted in a ďŹ ve-point win for the Pride, 39-34 followed by a 51-28 victory over the Peterborough Power. That clinched a spot in the playoff round.

The Pride played their hearts out in the semiďŹ nal, but lost 42-34 against the eventual champions from Kemptville. In the bronze medal game the Pride had another shot at the St. Thomas Shock but fell 36-33 to wind up in fourth place. Congratulations goes out to all the girls on their hard work all season. Team members included three Renfrew girls: Dani Kubiseski, Taylor Sul and Eli Scott. Other team members were Dakota Hanson, Sydney Moore, Alyssa Sparling, Sydney Friske, Gia Tantalo, Gwen Flegal, Olivia McIntyre and Sara Symington. Coaches were Kim Acres-Scott and Jody Moore.

First-place battle doesn’t disappoint in Ladies Spring Basketball League Rob Warren Ladies Spring Basketball League

It was only ďŹ tting that the battle for ďŹ rst place would produce such a good game. The Reunions and the Renfrew Golf Club Bananas were deadlocked at eight points after 10 minutes in the Ladies Spring Basketball League. After another six minutes, the teams were once again even, at 21. With ďŹ ve minutes remaining, the Reunions broke a 29-29 tie and played solid defence for a 33-31 victory. This preserved their unbeaten streak and left the Bananas in second place. The Reunions were ďŹ ve of nine from the foul line while the Bananas couldnĘźt convert on two attempts. Lisa Blokland was unstoppable underneath as she powered the Bananas to a 37-27 win over Signature

Styles. Dunbar Fuels and Signature Styles played a rare foul free ďŹ rst half, with the Fuels having a 23-14 scoring edge. Dunbar Fuels didnĘźt let up, and collected a 43-23 victory. Kristan McMahon netted all her 11 points in the ďŹ rst half. Sam DeBruyn chipped in with 10. DOUBLE OVERTIME THRILLER

Dunbar Fuels lost their third game in their last four starts by a single point, this time 24-23 in double overtime. Dunbar held leads of 7-6, 13-12 and 19-17. The game was tied at 19 after regulation, and at 21 after the ďŹ rst overtime. The Frances/Lemke Co-operators were good on eight of 12 free throw attempts. The Fuels missed ďŹ ve of six from the line, including the potential tying point near the end of the

second overtime. Mid-Town Flooring couldnĘźt shake off the Co-operators Ęťtill late in the second half. Mid-Town had a lead of 12-3 but the Co-operators closed to within 18-15 at the break. A few quick baskets off turnovers, extended Mid-TownĘźs lead from 2419 to a 33-21 victory. Sheila Windle scored 12 of the Co-operators points. Lindsay Edwards cleaned up on the offensive boards with numerous put-backs for the Reunions. She was also on ďŹ re with long range twos for 15 of her 21 points in the ďŹ rst half, spurring the Reunions to a 33-20 lead over Mid-Town Flooring. Mid-Town got no closer than six points in the second half, as Mae Donohue hit six treys for the Reunions on her way to 21 points and a 58-44 win. All 10 of Mid-TownĘźs players scored.

Team Renfrew rose to the challenge once again as 33 wrestlers competed at the 2013 Canada East Wrestling Festival in Milton, Ont., May 10 to 12. After weigh in and skin checks the team travelled to Mississauga to the hotel for the evening to relax and spend some time playing together in the hotel pool. Athletes were introduced by province to the crowd during opening ceremonies, led in by bagpipes, followed by the playing of O Canada. At the end of the day Saturday, the novice and kids age groups had completed all their matches and received their medals. The bantam semifinal and final matches took place on Sunday. With six Renfrew wrestlers competing, the team cheered on as they watched some high calibre matches as the bantam championship matches took place. Once wrestling was completed and points tallied, the medals for the bantam age group were handed out along with the team titles for this yearʼs championships. The club captured its 19th consecutive team title and the girls won first place overall. The kid girls captured the team title for their age group, the kid boys and bantam girls both finished third, and the bantam boys fourth. The novice girls and novice boys both narrowly missed a spot on the podium.

Congratulations to all the wrestlers. Thanks goes to all the parents for taking the time to travel with their children to Milton for the weekend, thanks to all the coaches, and last but not least, thank-you to the community for continuing to support the Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club in all their fundraising for these events. Team Renfrew Canadian East Wrestling Festival top-three finishers are as follows: • 1st: Savana

Seniors benefit from New Horizons funding Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant congratulates the Eganville and District Senior Needs on being selected to receive funding under the New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP). From left are Gallant, Joyce Gutziet, Ken Caldwell and Shelley McLeod. This will ensure that seniors in Eganville have the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities and take an active leadership role within their communities. The New Horizons funding of $23,600 enabled Eganville & District Senior Needs to install a large room divider to support social participation and inclusion of seniors. This allows for a variety of activities from computer clubs, exercise classes and workshops. “The room divider allows multiple activities to go on at once. The project not only provides a barrier-free facility unique to the village, but is bridging the gap between young and old,� said Gallant.

BearIdol@yahoo.ca The singing competition is part of the charityʼs annual KatieBear Fun Day. There will also be games, prizes, 50/50, toonie toss, photo booth, face painting, music by Faster Than Plaid, great food by Friscoʼs and more.

For $25 and the donation of a raffle prize, anyone can rent a table to promote their business or organization. KatieBears is a non-profit organization founded by Katie Fraser who grew up in Eganville. It started during a Santa

Claus parade when Katie gave a little girl one of her teddy bears off her float. Seeing the little girlʼs face light up made Katie so happy that she decided to make it an annual event, giving out teddy bears during Santa Claus parades.

Katie suddenly passed away in August 2009 at the age of 22, but family and friends carry on her tradition of giving in her memory. The charity gives bursaries, helps build schools in third world countries, and gives out KatieBears to people in need.

Emerson has big ideas for Grampa’s visit to Northcote Mary Cook Memories

We were soon to find out why Emerson was so anxious for a visit from Grampa, who lived in Ottawa and came out to Northcote often. He drove a car with a rumble seat in it, and he never failed to pile us five kids in the back, and tear down the Northcote Side Road like someone possessed. Only three could sit on the seat at one time, so two of us had to crouch on the floor. That was usually Earl and me. But Grampa always stopped at Briscoeʼs General Store to buy us penny candy, and thatʼs when he made us change places, so that we each got a turn on the seat. I thought it was a car like no other. The running boards had real rubber on them, and there was a little patch of rubber over the back fender where you stepped to gain entry to the rumble seat. And along the roof, inside the car, there were two hooks, and on these hooks Grampa carried a long black

umbrella. It was the biggest umbrella I had ever seen. He said he used it if it rained while he was lawn bowling in Westboro. When Grampa visited, and after we had had our ride down the Northcote Side Road, he spent the rest of his time with Mother, his only daughter, who he thought didnʼt belong on a farm in the back woods of Renfrew County! It was on one of those visits that Emerson was more anxious than usual to get our ride over with, and see Grampa settled in the kitchen with Mother. He made sure the teacups were on the kitchen table, the kettle was boiling on the Findlay Oval, and he knew Grampa would be in the kitchen for a spell. I saw him go over to the car, and open the door on the driverʼs side, and gently take the big black umbrella down off the hooks. I had no idea what he had in mind, because it certainly wasnʼt raining, and it was as hot as blazes with not a cloud in the sky.

It didnʼt take Emerson long to drag me into the mystery, by telling me I was going to have the experience of a lifetime. One I would never forget. Little did I know how truthful those words would turn out to be! If I had had an ounce of brains I would have headed for the hay loft. But Emerson made this venture sound so exciting, I was soon waiting to see what he had in mind. We went behind the house where the summer kitchen was attached to the wood shed. Father kept a stepladder there to patch the roof when the leaks got so bad Mother threatened to head back to New York if he didnʼt fix them. The shed roof was flat as a plate, and Emerson said it was from that very roof I was going to have the experience of a lifetime. Had I been a bit smarter, I would have known what he was up to ... with the big black umbrella in his hand, ordering me up the ladder. He was right behind me, making it impossible for me to change my mind.

He opened the umbrella, which I thought was as big as a tent, and ushered me to the very back of the shed roof. He took a piece of paper out of his overallʼs pocket. He unfolded it, and scanned it as if it held some important information. All I could see was a bunch of lines, and what looked like clouds. Emerson squinted, and spit on his thumb and held it in the air. I had no idea what he was doing. “Perfect,” he said. “Now you hold this umbrella as high as you can over your head. And run ... and I mean run ... and when you hit the end of the roof, youʼll go sailing off just like an aeroplane. The umbrella will carry you. Iʼd love to do it first, but I think Iʼm a bit too heavy. According to my drawings, you are the perfect weight to go soaring through the air. And donʼt worry about landing ... youʼll lit in the grass beside the pump.” I looked at my brother, and looked at the roof, and looked up into the open umbrella, and before I could

A HEARTFELT THANK YOU FROM HOSPICE RENFREW

voice my objections, Emerson gave me a shove, and I was off and running. I hit the edge of the roof in two seconds, and me and umbrella were airborne. Well, it didnʼt take long for the umbrella to collapse like a piece of newspaper, and I landed on the hard ground, miles away from the green grass around the pump, with the umbrella covering me like a tarpaulin. I was sure I had broken every bone in my body! Father was just coming out of the barn to witness my flight, and he was over to the shed in a shake. Emerson was nowhere to be seen. My knees were covered with dirt, I skinned my hand on landing, and Father determined there were no broken bones. He picked up the broken umbrella and walked around the shed to the kitchen. I was right behind him. Without any explanation, he handed Grampa the umbrella, and all he said was, “Sometimes I think that lad doesnʼt have the brains God gave a goose.”

Thanks to the support and the participation of families from across Renfrew County, the 2013 Hike for Hospice was an overwhelming success, surpassing our $50,000 goal with a final tally of $66,632 and more money still coming in! This years’ theme “IT TAKES A TEAM” was embraced by families and friends who came decked out in team shirts, hats and even decorated dogs! The weather was beautiful, the facilities immaculate, and the inspiration from the memories of families and friends overwhelming! 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. Thank-you also to our corporate sponsors, especially myFM and Dunbar Fuels for taking the lead in supporting this major fundraising event. A very special thank-you to the Renfrew Presbyterian Church and the Town of Renfrew for allowing us to use their facilities, Renfrew Agricultural Society for allowing us to borrow tables and chairs for the event, and Home Hardware for the use of their trailer to use as a stage. Thanks to Brian Stokes, Kevin, Jo-Anne Brown, Bailey Brown, Matt McGillvray and Ray Westgarth for setting up all the equipment and furniture and delivering it back at the end of the event. Thanks to the Holley family/Burnett Farm Equipment for putting up and taking down all the signs along the trail. Thanks to Paul Langlois for making an amazing direction sign and to Carrie McMillan for taking all of our team pictures. 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. A very special thanks to Jamie Cybulski for doing a great job as our MC and also Ultimate Fitness for getting everyone warmed up. Thanks to the Renfrew Fire Department for bringing over the vintage fire truck and to our local OPP for doing a great job of traffic control. Thanks to Sterlings No Frills, Metro and Margis Catering for water, tea and coffee, and fruit. The Hospice Renfrew Baking committee made all the cookies from scratch…thank-you to Connie Watchorn 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 sales for donating a 51” LED TV and The Prior Sportsbar and Rocky Mountain House for donating prizes. Thanks Barb Westgarth and Helen McGregor for the website, promotional materials, and brochures used for our Hike. Thanks also to the local media and newspapers for promoting this event. Special thanks and good luck to our lead hiker Hughie Nolan as he embarks on his Marathon at Mount Everest to raise funds for our Hospice. All money raised by the Hike for Hospice remains in our community to offset operational costs of the Hospice and allow us to keep our care completely free of charge. The people of Renfrew County are very generous! We hope to see you all again next year!

Remembering the 1970s About 315 people turned out for the RCI Reunion dinner at the AFAC Wing April 27 and by the time the dance with the band Daybreak started later in the evening the numbers had swelled to 500. Delighted with the turnout are RCI Reunion Planning Committee cochairs Laurie Deshane Millar, left, and Jane Logan Smith with some of the memorabilia on the walls of the Wing. The reunion was for students starting Grade 9 at RCI from 1969 to 1978. Next year’s reunion, held on the last weekend in April, will feature students starting at the school from 1979 to 1989.

Ramping up for Relay for Life

The RCI Relay for Life Committee would like to thank the community for their support and encouragement during the TAG Day events that were held on Saturday, May 4 at Low Square. Together, we all helped raise just under $5600 for the Canadian Cancer Society. This is an amazing accomplishment, and I would like to thank our sponsors on behalf of the committee.

Relay For Life’s Tag Day Renfrew Collegiate Institute student Joel Beimers waves his sign to attract drivers to RCI’s May 4 Tag Day car wash, in support of this month’s Relay for Life. RCI is looking to raise more than $100,000. The relay culminates May 24-25 at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. STEVE NEWMAN/ METROLAND

Helping Nobody become a Somebody Queen Elizabeth Public School

Hannah Hubert and Malorey Lambert, Grade 4 students from Queen Elizabeth School in Renfrew, were given a project and had no problem finishing the task. The project entailed the girls taking home a doll named Nobody over March Break. In that week they had to show the doll how to become a Somebody. The girls decided that they would teach this doll to be a better person by fundraising for a great cause, and in Hannahʼs case, fundraising for “a very special friend.” Through many discussions on what the cause would be, Hannah would not settle for anything less than helping one of her best friends, partner in the project and anyone else that suffers from diabetes. Malorey Lambert has been a diabetic since she was 18 months. Now at age 9 this young girl hopes there will be a cure for her and the many other Canadians that suffer everyday from diabetes. Together these two girls held a bake sale in their school to fundraise and raise awareness

The project entailed the girls taking home a doll named Nobody over March Break. In that week they had to show the doll how to become a Somebody. for diabetes. The fundraising didnʼt stop there. In coordination with a close friend of Maloreyʼs family, Kristine OʼConnor (who is also a diabetic) the fundraising got bigger. Kristine is the manager of a womenʼs clothing store called Maurices in the Carlingwood Mall in Ottawa. During March Break, every customer was asked to give a donation to help support diabetes. The girls received almost $600 to give to the Canadian Diabetes Association through their bake sale, donations at Maurices and from very special family and friends. The girls would like to thank everyone who helped in their fundraising efforts and ask that they continue to support the Canadian Diabetes Association.

Accounting award for Crozier Sean Crozier of Renfrew has been named an outstanding senior by the Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants (PICPA) and Neumann University in Philadelphia. Crozier was recommended for the award by Janet Massey, a pro-

Raider Review

fessor with the collegeʼs accounting department, for his success in the classroom and potential for a promising career in accounting. The award is given to one senior accounting major at each of 80 participating Pennsylvania colleges and universities.

LENA LAMBERT

Queen Elizabeth Public School Grade 4 students Hannah Hubert, left, and Malorey Lambert turned a doll named Nobody into Somebody with their recent bake sale to fundraise against diabetes.

Recipients are given a certificate, medal, and complimentary oneyear affiliate membership with the PICPA that gives them access to programs that will help them pursue their CPA licence. A degree in accounting is the first step toward receiving a CPA licence. An accounting career ranked as the sixth best job by U.S. News & World Report in 2012, and the

demand for accountants is expected to grow in the coming years. Crozier, who attended secondary school at St. Josephʼs and Bishop Smith high schools, is the son of Bob and Susan Crozier. The former captain of the Pembroke Lumbers Kings was also captain of this yearʼs Neumann University hockey team, which captured the conference title.

We would like to thank Dahlʼs Convenience for donating ice to the canteen. Canadian Tire also contributed to our Car Wash supplies and that was very much appreciated. Lastly, we would also like to thank our other sponsors for helping to make this day as successful as it was. I would also like to make the community aware of something rather important at RCI. This isnʼt about an event or a special achievement or a new course that is going on. This is about the entire staff at RCI. It is important to notice those people who help to form the future of Renfrew, Ontario, Canada or even the world. The teachers, administration, office staff as well as the janitors all work together every single day to help make RCI a friendly school to help students achieve their best, regardless of their background or their potential future. Without each and every staff member at RCI, the outstanding students coming out of RCI at the end of their high school careers would not be as successful as they are without the exceptional support given to them by the amazing staff at RCI. Each member of the RCI staff has touched a studentʼs life in a different way and for that, I believe I can speak on the behalf of every student; past, present and future, we are very thankful. Thank you, Renfrew Collegiate, for continuing the tradition of excellence that has gotten RCI students and alumni so far for more than 100 years and for many more to come.

Crazy, creative and colourful times Last week, the hallways of St. JoeĘźs were ďŹ lled with crazy, creative and colourful outďŹ ts. The second spirit week of the year began with a formal day. Because Catholic Education Week also began Monday, students and staff gathered in the gymnasium to celebrate a liturgy and learn about what makes the Catholic boards different. Tuesday was Mathlete vs Athlete day. A number of geeks and jocks were seen roaming the school, and at lunch there was a Guess the Mathlete and Athletegame. Decade day on Wednesday meant a lot of cutoff jeans, poodle skirts and leg warmers were worn. During lunch hour, the spirit ministers hosted a song title guessing competition. ThursdayĘźs Look-A-Like theme was a lot of fun. Some friends dressed as twins while others dressed up as celebrities. It was quite a fun week! House Colours Day on Friday was a nice break from classes for students. In the morning, the day began with cheering and an Amazing Race. AMAZING RACE

Jaguar Journal

with other teams. Following that, staff members had the chance to take on their students in an “Are You Smarter Than Your Teacher?â€? game. All in all, it was a fantastic afternoon and a great way to end the week. The second semi-formal dance of the school year was held Friday evening. We had a great turnout to our last school dance of the year! This week at SJHS, we are raising awareness about the Pro-Life movement. Pro-Life week at St. JoeĘźs includes activities and presentations to give a voice to the unborn. PRO-LIFE RALLY

Last week, a group of students bussed into Ottawa to attend the Pro-Life rally on Parliament Hill, joining a crowd of over 10,000 people. Performances of this yearĘźs musical, The Sound of Music, take place this week. The ďŹ rst public performance was Tuesday night, and there is a showing tonight, May 16, at 7 p.m. If you cannot make it out tonight, make sure you catch a performance on May 17 or 18, also at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 each. This performance of a classic story is a show you deďŹ nitely wonĘźt want to miss!

The Clare Chain immigrants from County Clare, Ireland Blaine Marchand Bromley Historical Society

Acclaimed historian and writer, Carol McCuaig, will speak on the immigration that brought Irish settlers from County Clare to Renfrew County, settling in Bromley Township and, specifically, in Pine Valley. Her talk marks the Bromley Historical Societyʼs second annual Dan Gorman Memorial Lecture. It takes place at 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 19 in the old town hall, 498 Micksburg Road, Osceola. “People from County Clare began arriving in 1829,” noted McCuaig. “In fact, one of the first people to come to this area was an ancestor of

Dan Gorman. Interestingly, these new arrivals came as a result of a political situation. The 1828 Clare election that had an impact on Catholics and after their arrival, their descendents became involved in municipal elections over the decades. “The list of names speaks much about the Catholic families who settled in Bromley, in addition to OʼGormans: Breen, Collins, Daly, Durack, Egan, Lynch, Maloney, OʼKane and Sheedy, to name just a few. And with a chain, it was not a one-time thing, people just kept on coming. And they radiated out from the township. Pine Valley was like

the hub of a wheel.” McCuaig is the author of 57 books. Her amazing career has included both fiction and non-fiction. Her books that chronicle the early days and the settlers of the many townships that make up Renfrew County have proven to be a valuable

resource for anyone doing research on their family genealogy. In recognition of her historical work, the Ontario Heritage Foundation bestowed an achievement award on her. The annual Dan Gorman Memorial Lecture commemorates the former

society member and supporter who passed away in 2011. This talk will be of interest to all families whose roots extend back to County Claire. It will be followed by a question and answer and by refreshments. It is free to the public.

FIRST WOMAN TO BE ARTICLED AS LAW CLERK: Miss Mary McNulty, aged 18, a daughter of Mr. J.J. McNulty, 236 Lisgar Street, is the first Ottawa girl to be articled as a law clerk. She has entered the office of Code and Burritt, and will later on go to Osgoode Hall, Toronto. Miss McNulty was born and educated in Ottawa. LOCALS: The Jamieson Meat Company have this season contracts for delivering supplies of meat of the railway contractors and sub-contractors between Sudbury and Fort William. – The friends in Renfrew of Mr. Lee of Haileybury are pleased to note by last weekʼs dailies that he had passed his second year examinations with first class honors at the School of Practical Science, Toronto – Mr. E.J. Stewart, secretary of the Childrenʼs Aid Society, this week received a donation of $2 from “a friend” ( no name given) towards the shelter here. Other donations have also been received which will later be acknowledged in full. MAY 19, 1938

From the Old Files Renfrew brought to Renfrew as a twig from England by the late Albert Smallfield. No other tree of whatever kind is here more flourishing. Mr. Dempseyʼs conclusion is that there are a few things experienced workmen do not know. MAY 17, 1978

LINDSAY NAMED CITIZEN OF THE YEAR: Marg Lindsay has been named Renfrewʼs Citizen of the Year by the Chamber of Commerce. Chamber officials made the announcement Monday that Mrs. Lindsay would be Renfrewʼs second Citizen of the Year. She replaces Hugh Edwards, last yearʼs winner. Mrs. Lindsay has been involved with many local clubs and groups, including recreation committee, Victoria Hospital Auxiliary, community concerts, and the executive of the curling club. She is the wife of Earl Lindsay. They have five children: Kenneth, Margaret, Kathy, John and Donald. LIBRARY UP BUDGET FIVE PER CENT: The Renfrew Public Library budget will only be five per cent above last yearʼs actual costs. The budget presented to town council Wednesday had estimated expenditures of $69,538 up from last yearʼs costs of $66,350. The largest part of the budget will be for salaries for the library staff, with $41,000 going to this purpose. As well, $6,200 will be spent on new books and $600 on magazines. The funds will be derived from a town grant of $45,873, a provincial grant of $15,464 and grants from the townships of Horton, Admaston and Bagot and Blythfield, $7,821. The costs for the library services to the town works out to $5.40 for each citizen. For help with research, contact Olga Lewis at olewis@sympatico.ca

THE NICEST TROUT IN LONG WHILE: Fates were kind to Mr J.C. McManus this week. A day or two after the loss of a favourite cat run over by some motorist, he went fishing, and returned with a brown trout having a weight of 1½ pounds. People by the dozen were calling at his house, on Monday to see the fish, some of them hinting that Mr. McManus had bought the fish from one of the barbers. “Back at Hardwood Lake” he gave as the place of the catch but enquirers said that might mean anywhere. It was the nicest fish of the kind seen in Renfrew in many a long day. A DOUBTING THOMAS AT BARRYʼS BAY: Returning to town a few days ago from the Barryʼs Bay neighbourhood where he has a road contract, Mr. J.S. Dempsey reported that doubts had been expressed that a walnut tree was flourishing in Renfrew. Among the doubters was none other than the M.L.A. for South Renfrew, who thus demonstrated himself as a doubting Thomas. Mr. Dempsey instanced the tree on Elizabeth street,
