GM approves 8.8 per cent municipal levy increase Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

Rising police costs have forced Greater Madawaska council to roll out a major levy increase for township residents in 2016.

SHERRY HAAIMA/ METROLAND

On May 10, council approved a levy increase of 8.8 per cent. The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) portion makes up 6.1 per cent of the total cost and the remaining 2.7 per cent is for township operations.

“I think it is a good budget,” said Mayor Glenda McKay. “A lot of time and work was put in to make it as lean as possible and still provide service to our township.”

Increase was challenge for council: mayor Continued from front

Of the 2.7 per cent, the township has budgeted 2.26 per cent for capital projects, which will be completed this year and the balance of 0.44 per cent will be directed towards operating expenses in the township.

The OPP cost for the township increased 35.9 per cent compared to last year. In 2015, the OPP cost was $403,100 and in 2016 it is $548,000.

The township has seen a 61 per cent increase in total OPP costs since the OPP’s new strategic plan was introduced in 2014.

The ongoing increase was a challenge for the council, said McKay. “It significantly reduced our ability as a township to do work with our asset management plan because we started

out with a 6.1 per cent increase, it puts us in a position where the increase is already high,” said McKay. “In order to keep it responsible we worked very hard to keep the numbers low.”

McKay says the council is focused on fulfilling the township’s asset management plan.

“We have a plan but it’s a challenge when every year we have an OPP increase,” said McKay. During a special council

meeting the same night, council also reviewed its goals and objectives from the 2015 budget.

“The purpose was to improve from last year and make it better,” said McKay. “If you don’t measure it you won’t improve.”

The total revenue for 2016 has increased to $155,520 compared to 2015 and taxation has increased to $208,270.

The township’s capital proj-

ects for 2016 include: Fraser and Matawatachan roads will be rehabilitated and resurfaced, a new grader/tractor/ side mount mower, construction of accessible washrooms at Heritage Point (with $23,400 of grant money), energy efficient upgrades to Ginza Rink and Calabogie Public Works garage and a new storage building at the Calabogie rink, which will be shared with the roads and recreation departments (a $95,000 grant will pay for a large portion of the new facilities).

“We spent a long time looking at these projects and they are all equally important,” said McKay. “Every one of them will be completed in 2016.”

The township will use $326,480 from reserves towards these capital projects.

Chamber president Kent Tubman is excited about this year’s event.

“It’s an event our community always looks forward to and I think it’s important for our community to step back and take a break and look at all the great things that are going on,” he said. “There are always naysayers but when you look around at the kind of nominees we’ve got, that’s pretty heartwarming. We have so many good businesses and volunteers

The new format, introduced last year, proved popular and is back this year.

Instead of a gala event, there’s “more mingling, easy-to-eat food and lots of opportunities to talk and share stories,” said Tubman. “The night is going to be lots of fun.” details

Ontario Award for Paramedic Bravery goes to one of Renfrew’s own On May 12, Renfrew paramedic Brad Smith was honoured for his bravery at an incident in Calabogie. Pictured, from left, are Dr. Eric Hoskins, Minister of Health and LongTerm Care; Smith and Chief Michael Nolan, Director of Emergency Services and Chief of the County of Renfrew Paramedic Service.

The Ontario Award for Paramedic Bravery honours paramedics who have performed an act of exceptional courage while on the job or off duty.

On May 12, paramedic Brad Smith, now retired, from the County of Renfrew Paramedic Service, was honoured at an event in Toronto. On Feb. 12, 2012, during an accident scene on Calabogie Lake, a snowmobiler was stranded in frigid water.

Smith, with the assistance of his crew, used a nearby canoe to break through into the open water. He then used his hands as a paddle and steered the canoe to reach the victim. While transferring the patient into the rescue boat he was pitched into the icy water and his crew helped pull him to safety.

Smith was among 21 paramedics recognized at the second annual awards.

Renfrew paramedic on special assignment Deputy Chief Michel Ruest of the County of Renfrew Paramedic Service has been selected to spend two years working as the Paramedic Services Advisor for Defence Research and Development Canada’s Centre for Security Science (DRDC CSS), which leads the Canadian Safety and Security Program (CSSP) in partnership with Public Safety Canada.

With over 35 years of experience, Ruest will contribute his knowledge and expertise to help progress the paramedic portfolio within the CSSP, a federal program which aims to strengthen Canada’s ability to anticipate, prevent, mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural disasters, serious accidents, crime and terrorism through the convergence of science and technology (S&T) with policy, operations, and intelligence.

This temporary assignment will help develop stronger linkages between Canada’s innovation system and the paramedic community to facilitate a greater understanding of current and emerging issues, and support the development of S&T knowledge, tools and advice that address the real needs of today’s paramedics.

“The success of our program efforts is heavily dependent on our ability to engage directly with the end-users and other

relevant experts to ensure that we truly understand the needs of the public safety and security community, and are developing the right solutions in the right way,” said Dr. Mark Williamson, Director General, DRDC CSS. “That’s why we created this type of position that allows us to bring in senior officials from police, fire and paramedic services to work with us on a day-to-day basis.”

Ruest had this to say about his new role. “It is a privilege to be chosen as a voice for my paramedic colleagues, and to have the chance to share my experience and engage with paramedic experts from across Canada to contribute to the important work of the CSSP. I’m very appreciative of the support County Council has demonstrated, which will allow me to make a difference at the national level.”

Director of Emergency Services and Chief of the County of Renfrew Paramedic Service, Michael Nolan said, “Michel exemplifies the very best of qualities of professionalism and dedication in every aspect of his role with the County of Renfrew Paramedic Service. Without a doubt this experience will not only be beneficial to Michel and our Paramedic Service, but it will further the advancements for the next generation of Paramedics across the country.”

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, May 19, 2016 3

Farmer concerned with county’s purchase of rail line Sherry Haaima

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

When news broke that the County of Renfrew had purchased the Canadian Pacific Rail corridor through the Upper Ottawa Valley, there was at least one local resident who wasn’t applauding the move.

On April 28, county council voted to buy the almost 300-kilometre decommissioned CP corridor from Smiths Falls to Mattawa, with two other partners.

The county is paying $360,300 for its 218km portion.

The line will eventually be developed into a trail; whether use of motorized recreational vehicles, including ATVs, will be allowed, is still unclear. Hartley Henderson owns more than 100 acres on both sides of Highway 60 in Admaston-Bromley Township. The line runs through one of his fields, and since the rails were lifted, he has farmed the land, alternating corn and beans.

His property was brought from the crown in 1864 and the family’s been farming the area for generations.

“My grandfather bought it in 1893 and then my father bought in and then I bought it,” he said.

He tried to purchase the rail line property after the tracks were removed.

“When they lifted the rails I wrote to the CP and made an offer on the land on my property, which was $5.52 a lineal foot,” he said. “Apparently that was totally ignored

because they didn’t want to sell bits and pieces and I can understand that.”

But that didn’t stop him from farming the land.

“I have made use of the line after they lifted the rails and the ties and the highway signals and I’m reluctant to give up that right,” said Henderson. “Part of this trail, I’m growing corn on it.”

The line cuts right through Henderson’s field. When he learned of the sale, he was not pleased.

“I was really annoyed because any money the county paid for the railroad I pay for in taxes,” said Henderson. “I’m of the basic feeling that if you pay for something, you like to own it. There’s going to be a bit of a fight over it.”

He’s concerned about the ramifications of a recreational trail running through his field.

“I am also concerned when it comes to ATVs, snow machines, they mightn’t even stay on the trail,” he said.

He has had at least one encounter with someone from CP, before the line was sold to the county.

“I was told by a CP employee that I was on private property and would be charged with trespassing if I returned,’ said Henderson. “I had a very negative attitude towards this employee and I didn’t listen to him.”

Developing a trail along the line would not only decrease the area he could farm, vehicles and individuals could cause damage to his property, said Henderson.

SHERRY HAAIMA/METROLAND

Hartley Henderson is not pleased with the County of Renfrew’s rail line purchase.

“My concern is people who don’t stay on the trail,” he said.

He wonders also about how the county managed to pay the price they did when, to his knowledge, when the railway from Mattawa from Smiths Falls was sold, it was appraised at more than $7 million.

What’s his next move?

“Wait,” said Henderson. “I was told not to spend too much money legally because the county has got more money than I have,” Will he plant the field again this year?

“Yes. I haven’t stopped in the past, I’m not going to stop now,” he said.

Fort McMurray evacuees take refuge in Renfrew Treasured pet lost after suffering smoke inhalation Sherry Haaima

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

It’s been a harrowing ordeal for Lynn Dagenais and it’s not over yet.

Dagenais, a Renfrew native, is among the thousands of Fort McMurray residents evacuated because of the recent wildfires that destroyed forests and homes and threw the lives of many into chaos.

Dagenais, who has lived in Alberta for 32 years, is now back in the Renfrew area staying with family members. Among the most heartbreaking effects of the recent fires – the loss of her five-year-old white toy Pomeranian Whisper, who died, likely from smoke inhalation, during the evacuation.

“It’s devastating. It still feels like a bad dream,” said Dagenais, who was separated from her boyfriend Tim Kammermayer and her two adult daughters for much of the ordeal.

Dagenais, a senor administrator at Syncrude, was at work when the evacuation order was issued.

“I had said goodbye to my dog and had gone to work and took my backpack like I do every day,” she said.

Little did she know it would be days later that she’d be able to get out of the city with little more than the clothes on her back.

She joined other evacuees being housed at the work camp until plans could be made to safely get the people out.

“We got locked into camp for three days,” said Dagenais. “I had to sleep on a conference room table. I had nothing, I didn’t even have my purse.”

There was a mood of confusion within the camp, she said.

“There were just people walking around wanting to get information,” she said. “The camps weren’t equipped for any of this. There were little kids and dogs and people kept coming.”

Getting out was a lengthy and trying experience that included a bus to Shell Albian Sands and then a sevenhour wait before she could board a flight to Edmonton, where she was finally reunited with her family.

Kammermayer and Dagenais’ daughters’ trip out of Fort McMurray was also very trying. Traffic was gridlocked and they were forced to drive through ditches at times.

“It took them nine hours to get half an hour out of town,” said Dagenais. “They had to sleep on the side of the road.”

Her daughters found suitable lodging in Edmonton and the couple continued to Renfrew.

Dagenais is very grateful to her family who helped her get tickets to fly home and have been providing a

place for her and Kammermayer to stay.

For now, they’re sitting tight.

From Red Cross, they were able to get blankets and toiletries.

Ricki’s in Pembroke offered major discounts to help provide some clothing for the evacuees.

“They allowed us 10 items each and gave it to us for 75 per cent off,” said Dagenais. “The manager and other woman working were just amazing.”

For now, they’re keeping an eye on the news reports, and trying to manage finances and any pending payments. They are unsure of the status of their home, which is in the Timberlea area.

Lynn Dagenais and Tim Kammermayer are Fort McMurray evacuees who are staying in Renfrew until it is safe for them to return home. submitted

RENFREW FIRE DEPARTMENT

COTTAGE AND CAMPING SAFETY As many families head to cottages, cabins and campgrounds for a much deserved holiday, The Renfrew Fire Department would like to offer some safety tips to take with you.

It is the law for all Ontario homes, cottages, cabins, RVs and camping trailers to have working smoke alarms on every storey and outside all sleeping areas. It is also the law to have at least one working carbon monoxide alarm outside the sleeping areas if a fuel burning appliance or fireplace is installed in the residential occupancy. It is essential that anywhere you or your family are sleeping be protected.

• Test smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms at least monthly or each time you return to the cottage. Pack a new smoke alarm and extra smoke alarm batteries in case they need replacement.

• If you are renting a cottage/cabin or RV, ensure all smoke alarms operate as they should by pushing the test button.

• Install carbon monoxide alarms in your cottage, RV, or camping trailer if it has a fuel-burning appliance.

• Develop and practice a home fire escape plan to ensure everyone knows what to do if the smoke alarm sounds.

• Know the telephone number for the local fire department and your cottage’s civic address.

• Clean barbecues before using them. Keep an eye on lit barbecues and ensure all combustibles, as well as children and pets are kept well away from them.

• Keep barbecue lighters and matches out of sight and reach of children.

• Remember to bring a flashlight with extra batteries.

• Check heating appliances and chimneys before using them.

• Check with your local fire department, municipality, or Ministry of Natural Resources to determine whether open air burning is permitted before having a campfire or burning brush. Never leave them unattended, and make sure it is extinguished before leaving.

• Tobacco use and excessive alcohol consumption are contributing factors in many fires and can lead to serious injuries. If you smoke or drink, do so responsibly.

• Burn candles in sturdy, enclosed candleholders. Never leave them unattended.

• Keep a well stocked first aid kit on hand; cuts, burns and other injuries can happen at any place and time.

• Do you have a severe allergy? Don’t forget your EpiPen and check the date of expiration before you go.

Admaston-Bromley learns more about warden’s caucus Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

Admaston-Bromley council members heard an update on the Eastern Ontario Warden’s Caucus (EOWC) during its May 5 meeting.

Jim Hutton, chief administrative officer and clerk for the County of Renfrew, spoke on the importance of the EOWC. The group covers 45,000 square feet with a population of 750,000 with 13 upper and single-tier and 90 lower-tier municipalities.

The EOWC has brought $1.3 billion into Eastern Ontario, something that Hutton thinks is very beneficial.

Mayor Michael Donohue called the presentation very illuminating.

Deputy Mayor Robert Dick added they were doing a very good job. Coun. Bob Hall said it was time and money well spent.

Tenders

The council approved two tenders for work on Pucker Street.

The first for the reconstruction was awarded to BR Fulton Construction for a total of $109,158.

The second for the surface treatment went to Smiths Construction at a total cost of $152,776. Council also passed a bylaw to enter into an agreement with the federal government under the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program.

Funding has been approved by the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario for the rehabilitation of Pucker Street in the amount of $127,500.

Permits

The building permit report was presented to council with seven new permits issued in April totalling approximately $1.2 million.

“It’s fairly impressive, that’s fairly significant,” said Donohue.

It’s nice to see it is filling in,” added Hall. “It’s been fairly busy.”

Fire ban

On May 6 the township issued a press release issuing a fire ban.

“Due to the dry conditions the Township of Admaston-Bromley is currently under a fire ban,” says the release.

It advises if you see smoke or flames to call 911 immediately.

The ban includes: all open-air burning, container burning, outdoor furnaces and fireworks.

Any further questions should be director to Fire Chief Terry McHale: 613-649-2242.

Absent

Coun. Mike Quilty was not at the council meeting because he had a mild heart attack and was scheduled for surgery this week.

Also absent was Coun. Kevin LeGris as he was helping to welcome his sixth child into the world.

Make trail decisions carefully The deal has been finalized; now the real work begins.

The agreement between Canadian Pacific Railway and the counties of Renfrew and Lanark to buy the corridor that was once the route for trains chugging up and down the Valley is just the first step.

Hopefully, it won’t take as long to agree to the best way to use as it did to come to a deal, which has been in the works since the rails were ripped up in 2010-11.

However, the counties shouldn’t act too hastily either.

Many people assume the corridor will become a multi-use trail. But there are still several details to be worked out.

The counties have promised full consultation before they finalize plans for the route.

It’s important that everyone be given a chance to have a say. Not everyone wants to see the former rail line be turned into a trail, most notably the landowners living adjacent to it.

Some landowners, particularly long-time farmers, feel the land their ancestors gave up for the railway should be returned to the families. Other residents worry that a busy trail along their back yards could cause them inconvenience and even danger (fire, crime).

So it’s important that those fears be aired and taken into consideration before the final details of how the route is to be used are fi-

nalized.

The last thing wanted is a repeat of the wrangling that occurred back in the late 1990s when the CN corridor was up for grabs. Instead of the counties taking leadership, the buying of the corridor was left up to municipalities, which caused them plenty of headaches.

In McNab, for instance, the debate over whether the route should be sold into private or public hands ended up in court. Let’s not have a repeat of that controversy that pitted neighbours against neighbours and caused no end of bad feelings.

If the 296-kilometre route is to be turned into a trail, there are other questions to be answered. Will it be available for use by motorized travel such as snowmobiles, dirt bikes and all-terrain vehicles? Or will it be limited to more passive users such as hikers, bicyclists, horseback riders, cross-country skiers and snowshoers.

Public opinion is likely divided, so it’s important the public speak up and the county councillors listen carefully, whether it be at the public meetings or on one-on-one discussions about the issue.

The corridor has the potential to be a major tourist and recreational boon to the Upper Ottawa Valley. To maximize the benefits, it’s crucial the decisions are made carefully and with general approval.

OPP costs lower not higher than national average To the editor:

Contrary to information that appeared recently in your publication (‘High Ontario policing costs upset McNab-Braeside council; Rural municipalities continue to push for lower policing costs’, Renfrew Mercury, April 28), OPP per capita policing costs are not higher than the national per capita costs.

According to Police Resources in Canada (2015), Canadian Centre of Justice Statistics, Statistics Canada, the 2014/15 average per capita policing cost in Canada is $391. The 2014 average per capita

policing cost for the OPP-policed municipalities is $198.

In 2016, the municipality of McNab-Braeside’s per capita policing cost is $123.

That is less than a third of the 2014/15 Canadian policing cost per capita.

If the OPP were to put its costs in line with the rest of Canada as the writer suggests, billings for OPP policing would actually be almost twice as high.

While the provincial legislation that guides policing costs for OPP-policed municipalities does the calculations based on a perVice President & Regional Publisher Peter Bishop pbishop@metroland.com 613-283-3182 ext 108 Editor-in-Chief Ryland Coyne rcoyne@metroland.com General Manager: Cindy Manor cmanor@metroland.com Distribution Chris Paveley 613-432-3655 ext 31 Chris.Paveley@metroland.com

property basis, I have responded to the article’s per-capita cost references using the most current statistics publicly available.

The OPP recognizes and appreciates that municipalities across Canada are concerned about the cost of municipal services, including one that is as vital to community well-being as policing.

The OPP is working continuously to be as effective and costefficient as possible while offering excellent value for the services it is mandated to deliver to the province and municipalities.

The average per property cost

for OPP policed municipalities in 2014 and 2015 was $357 per year and in 2016, the estimated average cost decreased to $352 per year.

It is critical that we engage in accurate and informed discussions on all policing matters so that we can continue to work together in promoting and improving community safety and wellbeing.

Weather can’t stop hospice supporters To the editor:

Despite rain, and cold temperatures, the support for Hospice Renfrew at the annual Hike for Hospice was a ray of sunshine!

Teams sporting special t-shirts, moms with babies, dogs, even a Cinderella, Prince Charming and Captain America showed up with pledges in hand to hike in support of Hospice Renfrew, raising a record $97,422 with more money still coming in!

The theme ‘It takes a team’ was embraced by families and friends who came in record numbers to take part in the hike.

Families and friends from across Renfrew County took part in this annual event, many hiking in memory of a loved one who had received care at the hospice.

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

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

A very special thank you to Randy Pender and Mick Brydges of Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre for providing an amazing location for the hike, setting up the facility for our use, and maintaining the hiking trail.

Jamie Cybulski of myFM did an amazing job of promoting the hike and as usual did a great job as MC, thanking our participants and sharing his own hospice story.

Thanks to Jamie Bentz, David Smith, Cricket Guest, Emma Schaly and Kevin Bentz for entertaining the kids and adding a special touch to the day. Sophia Decarle, Miss Teen Ontario East 2016 and Daphnie Rose, 2016 Ontario East Ambassador were also special guests who helped with organizing the crowds!

A big thank you to two very special young ladies Meara and Molly Caughey and their parents Ian and Krista for a very popular and successful lemonade stand….in memory of their Grandpa Sam.

Thanks to members of the Renfrew Highland Pipes and Drums band, who despite the drizzle led the hikers out to start the walk.

Thanks to Michelle Martin for taking all of our team pictures and her assistant Madison Cobus for capturing candid photos and video clips throughout the day. What a great way to create memories for us.

A very special thank-you to Marci Joyce and her volunteers from RBC who once again, took all pledges, did all the bookkeeping and revealed our final totals.

Thanks to the Renfrew OPP auxiliary officers and members of the Renfrew County paramedics, who ensured that we were all safe and healthy during the event.

Thanks to Sterling’s No Frills, and Metro for donations of water and fruit.

It was great to have the special events truck from Tim Hortons to provide hot drinks to all our chilled hikers…thanks Don Carty for arranging!

The people of Renfrew County are very generous. We hope to see you all again next year.

Jim Ferguson is missed dearly To the editor:

A great day for Golden Lake ancestors To the editor:

During a conversation with Doug Ferguson, a farmer on River Road in Horton Township, I found out he had some artifacts from a native settlement site on his farm. I got in touch with Chief Kirby Whiteduck and Ron Bernard of Golden Lake and arranged a meeting of the three of them at Doug’s place.

He explained that a settlement was on his place at one time and he had found these beautiful items. At the meeting he graciously gave the goods to the chief and Bernard.

During a lengthy discussion he told of the circular patterns on his farm where they once

The area near the parking exit at Renfrew Victoria Hospital is littered with parking slips.

Parking slip litter a concern To the editor:

The residents of Renfrew and area are very fortunate to have a wonderful hospital and parking that is reasonable.

My latest trip to an Ottawa hospital cost $13 for an hour-and-a-half.

At the Renfrew Victoria Hospital a full day only costs $5.

But that is not my reason for writing.

As a resident of the area I am putting out a plea to all those who do use the parking lot.

When you leave please, please take your exit ticket with you.

Many people just throw them out the window and they are in our flower beds, bushes and walkways.

As you can see the spring cleanup is unearthing many exit slips.

I am asking on behalf of the residents of the medical village please do not litter.

A 21-year-old male motorcycle driver suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries in a crash near Calabogie last week.

The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police got the call about 2:40 p.m. on Wednesday, May 11, for the single-vehicle crash on Centennial Lake Road near Black Donald Road.

Air ambulance was dispatched to the scene and needed to land on the road to complete the rescue.

OPP Const. Janice Sawbridge said there is no indication alcohol was involved.

Horton needs to welcome more immigrants TIFFANY LEPACK

tlepack@metroland.com

Welcoming newcomers to a community should be a joint effort.

Horton council heard a presentation from Chéla Breckon, program manager at the Local Immigration Partnership of Renfrew and Lanark on May 3.

Her goal in presenting to council was to establish a working relationship with the municipality to provide assistance to newcomers to the community.

Her big message was that there is currently an imbalance in the local demographic. In 2015 in Horton, 64 per cent of the people living in the area are between the ages of 1965, 15 per cent are seniors and 21 per cent are under the age of 18.

“In 2025 there will be a fairly significant change,” said Breckon.

At that time there will be 53 per cent in the working age, 30 per cent will be seniors and approximately 17 per cent will be youth.

“In 10 years, there will be 125 less workers to fill 350 job vacancies,” said Breckon.

In Horton, the current ratio of workers to seniors is 2:9 and in 2025 the ratio will be 1:2.

“It shows a great deal of impact

Chéla Breckon, program manager at the Local Immigration Partnership of Renfrew and Lanark, was a delegation at the Horton council meeting on May 3. on Horton,” said Breckon. “But Horton is not alone.”

The bottom line, she said, is municipalities need to attract more people to the area. Welcoming immigrants is among the ways municipalities can boost their pool of workers.

“Those facts are clear and alarming,” said Deputy Mayor Robert Johnston.

“We have to do something.”

Coun. Dave Bennett said it was an excellent presentation and invited Breckon to the May 10 economic development committee meeting.

Request for Proposal Documentation may be obtained at the Township Administrative Office located at 44 Main Street, Cobden, ON. Request for Proposals will be accepted at 44 Main Street, Cobden no later than 1:00PM, Thursday, June 2nd, 2016.

Golden anniversary for OLF On Sunday, May 29, Our Lady of Fatima Parish in Renfrew will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the dedication of their church, which took place on Sunday, May 29, 1966.

Our Lady of Fatima Parish was established in 1949 and in the years leading up to the building of the present church, a former factory building on the property served as their place of worship. In 1966 construction of the current building was completed under the pastorship of Monsignor Adrian Flynn and for 50 years this church on the corner of Lisgar and Lochiel has served as the spiritual home to many.

“It is very gratifying that we are able to celebrate this 50th anniversary with so many of our parishioners who were very much a part of the efforts to build this church,” said Father Ryan Holly, the fifth pastor of Our Lady of Fatima Parish. “While the building stands as a sign of the Lord’s presence in our midst, it’s truly humbling to think of the worship and sacrifice of these families.”

Just four months before the completion and dedication of Our Lady of Fatima Church, the Second Vatican Council had concluded in Rome.

Major shifts were taking place within society and the Catholic Church.

Our Lady of Fatima was built in Renfrew as a very modern structure that sought to adhere to the long-standing traditions of Catholic worship. Our Lady of Fatima is also known for housing a notable Casavant pipe organ, which not only assists in the singing of mass, but in recent years has been featured in a number of community musical concerts. Father Holly sees the wisdom of Monsignor Flynn’s attention to detail in insisting on the installation of such a remarkable instrument in the mid-1960s.

“Looking back it’s actually quite extraordinary that Monsignor Flynn sought out such excellence,” said Holly. “We continue to reap the fruits.”

The pastor is quick to point out that this anniversary is not just about a building of bricks and mortar, but the people who are formed there.

A Mass of Thanksgiving celebrated by the Most Reverend Michael Mulhall, Bishop of Pembroke, is scheduled for Sunday, May 29 at 9 a.m., exactly 50 years to the day that his predecessor, the Most Reverend William J. Smith consecrated the church. A festive reception will follow in the parish hall.

Special Arbour Day presentation at STA St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic School Senior Kindergarten students were thrilled with the May 3 special presentation, courtesy of Hydro One, during Arbour Week. Hydro workers Jason Swant, Roger Brisoce and Steve Visutski made a presentation, demonstrated their tools and bucket truck and planted a tree in the schoolyard, as well as donating a sapling to each student.

Above, the Hydro workers join the students and staff for a photo after planting the tree, which is an Autumn Blaze maple. At right, Roger Briscoe goes way up in the bucket truck.

The tradition of excellence at Renfrew Collegiate Institute and Renfrew Collegiate Intermediate School continued Wednesday, May 4 at the annual open house. Approximately 80 families attended this event, which celebrates the many programs and activities offered at these institutions. Many current students displayed their extracurricular or club by sharing information, involvement, and speaking with future students. The hallways of the school were adorned with displays, pictures, and interactive activities exemplifying many of the schools’ programs.

The evening began with a general assembly in the Grant Gym with addresses by Mitchell Hanniman, BSA student president, and two students from Grade 8, who shared ‘What it means to me to be an RCIS student,’ - Mattea Schaap spoke in English and Josie Doering in French. A slideshow featuring student participation was shown.

Elizabeth Scott also addressed the audience, speaking in English and French, promoting the success of the immersion and extended grench programs in both schools.

All Grade 6 students received a t-shirt, a newspaper written by Grade 7 and 8 students, an ice

cream and a tomato plant for attending. The plant donation was a unique addition to this year’s open house and was funded by the Jane Goodall Institute. In October, students, Moira Friske and Elizabeth Scott attended the Roots & Shoots: Launch & Link Conference in Toronto with 28 other students from around Ontario.

This program engages and supports high school students in designing and leading sustainability projects that will make a difference for the people, animals and environment in their communities.

This conference inspired these students to return to their community and try to make a difference about something that makes them passionate. Elizabeth focused on healthy, sustainable living of students and their families with an emphasis on the natural environment.

She applied for and received a grant from the Jane Goodall Institute to support her initiative, and as a result provided every Grade 6 student with a tomato plant, packet of garlic seeds, and a recipe pamphlet.

Once again parent council organized a barbecue and the weather allowed visitors to enjoy supper in the courtyard behind the school. An informative and enjoyable evening was had by all. Thank you to everyone who helped make this evening a success.

Safety Tips

Smoke Alarms: Test your smoke alarms. If a fire starts in your home while you are asleep, you want to know about it immediately.

Some homes are equipped with electrically-connected smoke alarms that may not work when the power is out. Make sure your home has a battery-operated smoke alarm on every level.

Jordi Butler sits with her son, seven-year-old Braedyn Butler, at the launch of his Maples for Fort Mac fundraiser. He is raffling off a basket filled with maple syrup goodies.

Maples for Fort Mac fundraiser kicks off

Local Grade 1 student, Braedyn Butler, 7, launched his ambitious ‘Maples for Fort Mac’ (Fort McMurray) fundraising campaign on May 6 at the Admaston Public School Mother’s Day Tea and Social.

Butler is raffling off a beautiful ‘Canada Grand Maple Gift Basket’ donated by Timber Isle Maple Products, his family’s local maple syrup products company.

Tickets are a quarter each or five for $1. All proceeds raised will be donated to the Canadian Red Cross: Alberta Fires Appeal.

Butler will be selling more raffle tickets on May 19 at the Renfrew Walmart from 6 to 8 p.m.

The basket is filled with a number of delicious maple goods: a one-litre bottle of pure local maple syrup, two 100 millilitre glass maple leaf bottles of syrup, 12 pure maple lollipops, one-15 piece gift pack of hard maple candy, one 15-piece set of maple sugar candy, one bag of pure maple candy floss and a gift certificate to Timber Isle Maple Products for the first one-litre bottle made in the 2017 season.

Braedyn is involved in every aspect of the maple syrup operation and he has chosen all of the items in the raffle and has helped make

the items as well.

“He has chosen all of his own photos for his displays and signs and created or had the majority help in creating them,” said his mom Jordi.

“I think it is important to note that it is his campaign and he is very proud of this point.

As are we, of course very proud of him. I am of course here to provide assistance and guidance where needed as he is of course only seven.”

It was a very fitting venue for the kickoff to his campaign as he was initially inspired to give back by another fundraiser for a different cause, spearheaded by two of his fellow classmates, Grade 2 students Addison Chaplin and Ainsley Farqhuarson.

“He came home from school one day, so inspired and truly touched by the work of these young ladies, that he began asking me all manner of question about contributing to their cause and truly wanting to undertake something similar himself,” said Jordi.

“When the forest fire emergency began to unfold near Fort McMurray, Braedyn’s fundraiser began to take shape.”

Maple syrup basket raffle prize From page 28

Braedyn’s teacher, Heather Cormier, inspires and encourages her students to get involved, pay it forward, and be community-minded, compassionate citizens, always leading by example.

She recently wrapped up her annual book sale for the school’s World Vision sponsor child. Admaston Public School overall inspires and encourages these characteristics and activities within the school community.

This was evident when students, teachers and mothers came together at their annual Mother’s Day Tea and Social, where the outpouring of compassion and support was nothing short of inspiring itself.

Braedyn collected $154.75 in raffle tickets purchased and straight donations, which for a school of only 114 students, works out to be well over $1 per student!

This cause is very close to Braedyn himself, as he and his brothers actually exist because of forest fires...quite literally.

Braedyn’s parents, Bill and Jordi Butler, are former Ontario Fire Rangers, who met, married and had Braedyn while fighting forest fires for the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources Forest Fire

Management Branch (Sudbury and Pembroke).

They fought on the frontline of forest fires for 15 years all across Ontario, Canada, and even into the United States.

Both have been deployed to Alberta three times each, two of the three times to the Fort McMurray area.

“Braedyn’s name was even born of fire in that the root prefixes of his name actually mean ‘Little Fire’ in the Gaelic language; in honour of his maternal grandfather, James Paterson who was born in Scotland and the Irish heritage on his dad’s side of the family,” Jordi said.

Braedyn has set an ambitious fundraising goal of $1,000 and is already over a third of the way there, having sold hundreds of tickets to family, friends, students, teachers and Bill and Jordi’s extended ‘Fire family.’

The Butlers have family living in Alberta, friends who went through the harrowing experience of having to flee their homes in Fort McMurray, and many of their ‘fire family’ from Ontario and Alberta, who are currently working on the front lines of the Fort McMurray fires as well as in the skies overhead.

“It is a cause very near and dear

to our entire family’s heart for so many reasons,” Jordi added.

Braedyn will continue his fundraising efforts until Alberta fire officials declare the forest fire that destroyed much of the town of Fort McMurray, UCO or Under Control.

Watch for Braedyn at fine local establishments around Renfrew over the coming weeks, as he works hard to reach his fundraising goal to help the people of Fort McMurray rebuild their lives through a donation to The Canadian Red Cross.

Not only will you have a chance to win delicious, local maple syrup and maple confections, and help those in need, you will also be helping a young mind learn the importance of being an informed, active, compassionate, community-minded citizen of this great town and country of ours.

If you would be interested in hosting Braedyn and his selfmade fundraising display at your local business or are interested in purchasing tickets for Braedyn’s ‘Maples for Fort Mac’ fundraiser to win a delicious ‘Canada Grand Maple Gift Basket,’ please contact his mother Jordi Butler at valleysyrup@gmail.com .

New general manager at Renfrew Golf Club embraces community co.

There he took on the role as director of golf at El Camaleon Mayakoba where they host a PGA Tour event.

He was there for three years.

From 2012 to 2014 he was the director of golf at the Horseshoe Resort north of Barrie where he managed two 18-hole courses. Last year he worked at Dauphin Lake Golf Resort in Manitoba after a First Nations group purchased a property. He came on board to show them how to operate it.

The new manager at the Renfrew Golf Club (RGC) is teeing up two very community-minded changes.

Kevin Sebulski has been at the club for two months now and says he and his wife Cheryl love it here.

“Everybody in the community has been very nice to us,” said Sebulski. “We are very happy here.”

He says one of the reasons he wanted to come to Renfrew was so his wife could be closer to her family in Ottawa.

He also did a lot of research on the club to see what it was all about before accepting the position.

“This is a golf course with a lot of history, it started in 1929 and I’m kind of a history guy,” said Sebulski.

“I appreciate a golf club with a lot of history and character.”

He is very happy with everything so far and says the course is in fantastic shape.

“Members who have been here for years have said it is in the best shape it has ever been at this time of year,” said Sebulski.

“We are in early May and it’s almost perfect!”

Sebulski hails from the Thunder Bay area. He graduated from Confederation College with a diploma

The two big changes are: kids now golf for free all day, every day at the RGC and starting on May 27 the club will be open to the public on Friday, Saturday and Sunday for dinners.

“Renfrew Golf Club is a hidden gem and we are trying to show everyone it’s not a private golf course it’s for everyone,” said Sebulski.

“You can be a golfer or a family.

We are part of the community.”

Sebulski empathizes these are community-minded changes.

“We want to be more active in the community and we are trying to make ourselves more active in the community.”

This is the 21st consecutive time the club has captured a team title at the championships.

On Friday, May 13, 55 athletes and their families departed Renfrew to travel to SaintCesaire, Que. for what would be the final tournament of the season.

Most of our athletes stopped at the Montreal Science Centre for an afternoon of team building, before continuing to the venue for weigh-ins.

The competition this year made for one of the best championships in recent history.

Once again our athletes brought their ‘A’ game this weekend, taking first place in the novice girls and boys division and securing two of the six division titles.

Our kid boys and girls were both tied in points for first, losing the tie-breaker by having one less gold medal than the other teams.

sport,” said Sebulski. “We hope we can build a grassroots program and kids will stay with golf.”

NEW DINNER OPTION

The new dinner menu offered on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays starts on May 27, will utilize the terrace and offers a number of exquisite menu items such as pan seared walleye, chicken schnitzel, grilled pork chop, T-Bone steak and more.

With the addition of the new dinner options, Sebulski hopes to make RCG a place not just for golfers but for everyone.

“We will give you great service and value for your money with beautiful views of the Ottawa Valley,” said Sebulski.

“We want people to come here for a really nice night out. It will be a relaxed atmosphere with great service and great food.”

They also plan on having live entertainment such as a small three-piece band or an acoustic act. He also wants to showcase the banquet room, which comfortably holds 40 to 140 people.

“We are really trying to show people the entire food and beverage offering,” said Sebulski.

“We have a very talented team and we want to make sure everyone sees what we can do here.”

As to the course itself, Sebulski says it’s a great piece of property for 18 holes.

“There are rolling hills, elevation changes, great views to see out over the Valley,” said Sebulski.

“It’s a fun course to play.”

For the free junior golf Sebulski says RCG wants to encourage youth to be active.

“We are trying to build something for the juniors and kids to be more active,” said Sebulski. “We want to give them access to a beautiful course and this is how we are doing that.”

The free golf is for juniors up to 18 years of age as long as they meet three criteria: if they golf with an adult; if they are older players Sebulski will hit the course with them and if they demonstrate they have the ability/ etiquette they are able to play; or if they complete a four-week free golf clinic.

The clinics will be offered on Tuesdays or Saturdays starting on May 24 and 28 for more information call the pro shop: 613-4322485.

Tim Hortons is also helping with the clinics and sponsoring Tim Bit Tees. Clinic participants will get a free golf shirt.

“It will allow the juniors to play not from the full length tees,” said Sebulski. “Tim Hortons has been a big supporter of the program and us.”

They also have clubs and balls the junior players can use.

“We want to take away all the barriers of playing golf,” said Sebulski.

Some members are also willing to adopt a junior and take them out on the course to show them the rules and etiquette.

“Our members are on board to help push the program and help it succeed,” said Sebulski.

So far the free golf for juniors has been really well-received.

“We want kids to be active and healthy and we understand golf is not the cheapest

The RAWC Renfrew and Pembroke divisions would like to thank all of the supporters in the Pembroke and Renfrew areas who supported our fundraising efforts this season.

Due to the generous donations and support from local business we were able to cover the full cost for each of these athletes for registration, transportation and motel.

Demo day at Dragonfly is May 22 Bill Rainboth

Dragonfly Golf Links general manager

Another perfect week of golfing weather greeted league players this past week at Dragonfly.

Tuesday’s action was highlighted by the team from Ray’s Flowers, who despite being staged in C flight from their scores in week one – produced the best rounds of the night with a gross score of 68.

The B flight was hotly contested as teams from Dragonfly Golf Links and the Dragonslayers both had net scores of 73, with the Dragonslayers winning in retrogression (like a coin toss).

The team from Sterling’s No Frills won gold in A flight with a

“sterling” round of 69. Closest to the pin winners was Dragonfly’s own Chuck Lambert on #13, and Dan Hisko on #18.

Wednesday’s A flight winners were the team from Renfrew Pizzaria with a week-low gross score of 60, leaving competing teams wondering if they should start eating more pizza?

The B Flight witnessed another tie for first place between Roger Brisco Plumbing and the Mountain Men who shot a net score of 63 with the latter winning in retrogression. In order to win the closest to the pin contest you had to have the last name of Cobus, with Tom being the winner on #13, and Terry on #18.

Ladies night was dominated by the Par Tee Girls who blew away the competition, and took first place. Coming in the runner up position was the Driving Fours with an impressive round of their own.

Closest to the pin winners were Janet O’Brien on #5, and Lindsay Scobie on #7.

I am happy to share with you that Ping and Cobra will be sending fitting specialists to Dragonfly’s Driving Range on Sunday, May 22 between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Those wishing to be professionally fit with the latest and greatest from either company are asked to call the pro shop at 613-432-3838. Cost is free.

Everybody is welcome. Hope to see you there.

Signature Styles/K L Plumbing (SSKLP) held a four-point edge (128) over the Reunions at Half time.

The Reunions hung around during the second half and were able to close an eight-point deficit to force overtime at 28’s. The Reunions controlled the overtime and won 35-32. The Reunions outscored SSKLP 7-1 from the charity stripe.

SSKLP scored seven consecutive points late in the first half to open up a 21-13 margin over the Lumber Jills.

They continued for a final 39-27. Katie Dolan hit three treys on her way to 19 points. Kathleen Barr scored eight points on her first shift and finished with 13 to lead the Lumber Jills.

The Lumber Jills held a slight edge on the Basket Brawlers throughout the contest. The Brawlers stayed close though, and pulled within two with five minutes remaining. With two minutes left, the Brawlers tied it at 24.

Neither team could convert on several good opportunities until Judline Wren, of the Jills, broke the deadlock with a free throw with three seconds left.

The Basket Brawlers, after trailing Frances/Lemke Cooperators by eight at the break, pulled to within four points (25-21) midway through the second half. The Co-operators found another gear and pulled away late, to finish at 32-23. Molly Mullen, of the Brawlers, led all scorers with nine points.

Two hard fought games guaranteed Midtown at least a share of first place with one week remaining in the regular season.

Wendy Moon’s 14 points (including three treys) in the first half allowed the Frances/Lemke Co-operators

to maintain a minimum four point lead over Midtown Flooring. Midtown turned the game around allowing only six points in the second half. They caught the Co-operators at 24 and continued for 37-26 victory. Sarah Dougherty had a game high 15 points.

Midtown Flooring and the Reunions had

another classic battle that left the teams dead- led the Reunions with 19 points followed by Stacey Hill locked at 33 at the end of regulation. Mae with 10. Jill Barr netted 18 for Midtown and Andrea MarDonohue hit her first three attempts (including tin chipped in 10. two treys) in overtime. Midtown stayed close with three buckets inside.

Renfrew’s McCullough off to NBA Eastern finals with Raptors McCullough called the atmosphere inside the Air Canada Centre for game seven electric.

“We have the best fans in the NBA,” said McCullough.

“They were all cheering, wearing their playoff shirts and it pushes our team to be successful with a great fan base behind them.”

It’s a historic experience for Scott McCullough.

The Toronto Raptors head athletic trainer and Renfrew Collegiate Institute grad is off to the NBA Eastern Conference finals; a first for him and a first for the Raptors.

The Raptors defeated the Miami Heat in game seven to advance 11689 on May 15.

“It feels great,” said McCullough on the plane just before the team travelled to Cleveland to play the Cavaliers on May 16.

“I have been in the NBA for 21 years and this is the first time I have been to an Eastern final. It’s very exciting.”

Injuries

SCOTT MCCULLOUGH

Injuries have played a big part in the series, including when DeMarre Carroll hurt his wrist in game five.

Carroll went on to score 14 points in the crucial game seven victory.

McCullough admits injuries are just part of the game.

“Our role is to try and keep guys as healthy as possible,” said Mc-

Cullough.

“No one is 100 per cent healthy.

We will work day and night to try and put our athletes in the best possible position to succeed.”

He says he gets used to the injuries and tries to stay calm.

“I’ve been through it all,” said McCullough.

“When you go out there you see what the issue is, if they can walk off or need medical staff.

“The number one thing is their health and welfare.”

RMSC kicks off season

He calls the Cavs a great team.

“We need to play our game and hopefully it comes out positive,” said McCullough.

“For us to be successful we have to continue to do what we have done all year; play as a team both offensively and defensively and let the chips fall.

At the end of the day win or lose it has been a very successful year.”

Game one and two were set for May 17 and 19 in Cleveland, the Raptors head back to Toronto for games three and four on May 21 and 23.

Our digestive process is one of the most interconnected systems within our body. Many organs are involved, all of which intertwined in the process of breaking down an external substance - our food - into something that our body can absorb and benefit from internally - actually something that keeps us alive and thriving. But digestion has also another side - an emotional side. We “digest” ideas and feelings. The “digestion” of stress in our day and age is one of the most challenging ones many people are faced with.

Have you ever wondered why you can’t stop your heartburn by just changing your eating habits? Why you suffer from chronic constipation? Why you are prone to recurrent ulcers? Or why you are sentenced with crohn’s or colitis? Nothing is fair in life. And if you just have a little hope left, give yourself a nudge and try our treatment. Healing digestive issues has become one of my specialties over the last decade.

is something so revealing, intriguing and potentially challenging, we all have to deal with at one point or another in our lifetime. If we talk about digestion, we commonly refer to our physical digestion of food, which can involve challenges like heartburn or acid reflux, bloating, gas and indigestion, gastric ulcers with burning and pain, constipation, diarrhea, IBS, colitis, crohn’s and more. Now, it would be easy, if food would be the only culprit to change in order to heal our digestive system again. But unfortunately it’s not that easy. Many people take over the counter or prescription drugs to keep the symptoms at bay. Some with success, others are able to reduce their symptoms, but many have reached a point where nothing works. That’s where our Heilkunst treatment comes to the rescue.

KAPPS off to a great start this season Sherry Haaima

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

KAPPS is made for walking and that’s just what they’ll do.

The Kick and Push Pedestrian Society (KAPPS) is an upper Ottawa Valley walking group that meets once a month to explore the Renfrew and area trails.

The KAPPS website outlines how the group, billed as being a century-and-a-half in the making, got its name.

“Two things from the late 19th century got us rolling.

The Kingston and Pembroke Railway began its line from Kingston to gain access to logging and mining to the north.

Plagued by rough landscape and competition, the line made it only as far as Renfrew. The slowness of service provided its nickname, the ‘Kick and Push.’ Abandoned in 1977, it was converted to recreational use. Now, it offers an exceptional, high-quality walking trail from Renfrew to

trail.”

The walks are very informal and almost always end up with a meal somewhere, he added.

Among KAPPS’ new projects is the concept of bluewalk regularly and noted you box walking. “It’s an opportunity to get people picking explore parts of the world or up recyclables while they’re walking,” said Parchelo. your neighbourhood most See BLUE, page 41 convincingly on foot.

Marguerite’s show and tell quashed by Emerson and Cecil There was no such thing as ‘show and tell’ at the Northcote School.

There was no room for something as frivolous as bringing something from home to talk about in front of the rest of the pupils.

Once we settled in our seats, our whole day, except for a 15-minute recess, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and of course our hour for lunch, we were stuck to our seats like flypaper.

The truth of the matter was none of us had much to show off, even if there was something called ‘show and tell’. With the exception of bad Marguerite, of course.

If it wasn’t brand new hair ribbons laying across her Shirley Temple curls like a folded up Renfrew Mercury, it was ankle sox with real lace on the cuffs.

And then one day, just before Miss Crosby came out on the stoop to ring the big brass bell, in rolled Marguerite on a brand new bicycle.

No one ever rode a bicycle to the Northcote School, not even cousins Two or Three Mile Herman,

who came all the way from the Barr Line.

The Northcote Side Road, like a washboard and full of ruts, meant that anyone who would even attempt to ride a bicycle on it would be hard pressed to get to school before the nine o’clock bell.

NEW BICYCLE

And there was bad Marguerite who lived just a spit away, riding a brand new bicycle.

It was bright green and it had wide tires, which my brother Emerson called balloon tires, and it had a little bell on the handlebars, which Marguerite kept ringing all the way into the schoolyard.

and still no one talked about the bicycle. Marguirite was plenty annoyed, you could tell just by the way she was tossing those hateful store-dyed curls around.

I could see my brother Emerson and his pal Cecil snickering over by the back fence, but they never went near the bicycle either.

Afternoon recess came and went. Cecil put up his hand, with two fingers, which meant he had to use the outside privy, and it would take longer than if he only held up one finger.

Miss Crosby nodded, and Cecil got up from his desk, nodded at Emerson, and went out the door.

and I just stood there like stone. A new bicycle! Imagine!

We were taught at the Lutheran Sunday school that envy was a mortal sin, but that day I came close to breaking that commandment.

Marguerite leaned the bicycle against the side of the stoop, wiped the fenders with the cuff of her sweater, and made it clear to all of us standing gawking at it, that it would be curtains for anyone who laid a hand on it! Even Miss Crosby’s eyes were like saucers, but of course she said nothing, ever careful not to show favouritism to any one pupil.

Marguirite asked, during the morning, if she could go to the windowsill and sharpen her pencil.

We knew perfectly well there wasn’t a thing wrong with her pencil. What she wanted to do was take a peek outside to have a look at her bicycle!

All went well into the day.

Morning recess passed. No one mentioned the new bicycle.

Our lunch was eaten outside,

DISMISSED

Finally, the big CPR clock on the wall showed it was four o’clock, and Miss Crosby said we were dismissed. Emerson and Cecil were the first to get out the door, and they headed right for the gate, where they looked like they had just robbed a bank.

Marguirite wasn’t far behind.

She took one look at her bicycle and her scream could be heard in Admaston!

Velma, Joyce and I ran to see what all the commotion was about, and there were those two big balloon tires, as flat as pancakes.

“Must have a slow leak,” Cecil said, as he wandered over from the gate.

“Happens all the time on our old Model T,” Emerson offered.

“Guess you’ll just have to push and drag it home.”

When I last saw Marguirite and her bicycle she hadn’t gone more than a few hundred yards.

The bicycle was big and heavy, the road was full of ruts, and even though she lived close to the school, and we were three and a half miles, Velma guessed we’d beat her home.

SAFETY TIPS

Smoke Alarms: Test your smoke alarms. If a fire starts in your home while you are asleep, you want to know about it immediately. Some homes are equipped with electrically-connected smoke alarms that may not work when the power is out. Make sure your home has a battery-operated smoke alarm on every level.

PleaSe HelP Save WeSTmeaTH PubliC SCHool The Renfrew County District School Board (RCDSB) is considering the closure of Westmeath Public School (WPS) as a short-term cost-saving measure.

Such a proposed closure could be devastating to the Westmeath community.

The Renfrew County District School Board (RCDSB) is considering the closure of Westmeath Public School (WPS) as a short-term cost-saving measure.

Such a proposed closure could be devastating to the Westmeath community.

Small-town rural schools are the backbones of their communities, allowing students to be close to their families and giving parents and community members the opportunity to take a greater part in providing high-quality education to our next generation.

In 1977, Westmeath was threatened with school closure, but thankfully there was sufficient local control at the time to enable creative solutions to be implemented that kept WPS open for another generation.

Current Ontario Ministry of Education rules and policies have been tailored to the priorities of larger urban centers with many schools. They do not necessarily understand or reflect the needs of small rural communities. Provincial government policy on education for rural communities and how it is managed needs to be challenged, rather than accepting it in quiet desperation.

We need our various local school boards and the Ontario Ministry of Education to come together, consult, and show greater leadership, flexibility, understanding, cooperation, and innovation to work willingly and enthusiastically with small rural communities such as Westmeath to help them preserve their community schools. For example, pooling resources and sharing costs between different school boards could enable a Westmeath Community School to remain open and vibrant.

Many other potential solutions are available, if we are willing to

push outside the box of current provincial education policy.

If you are concerned about the potential closure of Westmeath, and other rural schools, please contact the Trustees of the RCDSB (613-735-0151), and also the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board (613-735-1031), along with local municipal leaders and representatives. Encourage them to spend more time and effort to find alternative ways to reduce costs and increase revenues such that single community schools, including Westmeath Public School, can be kept open.

Westmeath needs your help and support.

2016 DECORATING TRENDS

Tips for a state-of-the-art KITCHEN Does your kitchen need refurbishing? Would you love to create a cutting-edge decor worthy of a decorating magazine? Draw on as many of the 2016 trends as you like and turn your kitchen into a beautiful — and functional — room that’s ideal for dreaming up mouth-watering meals for family and friends. Gasps of admiration, guaranteed.

CLEAN LINES With its cool colours and clean lines, the 2016 kitchen has the esthetic of a laboratory, but in a good way. Islands, cabinets and countertops have smooth, gleaming surfaces on which a bare minimum of objects are placed. Similarly, storage space is optimized so all the things you don’t have an immediate use for can stay out of sight.

The key word: minimalism.

NOSTALGIC COLOURS Add pale touches of colour (mint green, pale

pink, baby blue, lilac or butter yellow) to neutral kitchens. These pastel shades from decades past are making a comeback this year, while the vintage trend is in­creasingly popular. Purity, softness and comfort are the ma­­gic ingredients for a user-friendly kit­chen where every­one lo­ves to hang out.

COPPER After stainless steel, gold, chrome and bronze, designers are now going crazy over copper. To give your kitchen a modern-yet-warm feel, integrate a few elements with a copper finish or even better, solid copper. This year, copper cabinet handles and knobs, light fixtures, faucets, utensils and even ap­pliances blend perfectly with anthracite, brown and ivory tones.

CUSTOM ISLANDS Today’s kitchen island is no longer used

exclusively for preparing meals. Now it has been transformed into a multi-purpose element that’s used as an extra table or for sto­ rage. To be really up to date, furnish your kit­chen with a model that has been custom de­signed and made by a professional.

What’s the ultimate island in 2016?

HOME, GARDEN & RENOVATION

How to RENOVATE without exhausting yourself Are you like a lot of other people in belie­ving that home renovations are a huge source of physical and mental stress?

Read these three tips to help you turn your renovation project into a stress-free and successful experience.

1. PLAN The secret of a successful renovation pro­­ ject lies primarily in its planning. List the elements you want to transform in your home and set yourself a realistic budget. Be sure to use professionals for major pro­ jects, such as renovating a kitchen.

Their expertise will lift a huge load from your shoulders.

Is Your FIreplace readY For a New look?

Forget about your pride and acknowledge that some assistance would be welcome.

After all, working in pairs or in groups is much faster and a lot more fun. That said, if you’re not used to working with your hands, maybe you should entrust your pro­ ject to a renovation expert so you can sleep soundly at night.

3. RELAX Do you tend to work long hours without a break when renovating? If that is the case, you could end up exhausted, head­achy and very, very sore.

Take a break every once in a while. Lie down and close your eyes for a few minu­tes; do some stretching, or call 2. DELEGATE You’d like to do all the reno- a friend. Make sure you eat vations yourself? Be careful heal­thy snacks and drink lots not to over-extend yourself. of liquids on a regular basis. For all oF Your FIreplace Needs

HOME, GARDEN & RENOVATION

Make your HOME BIGGER — from the inside Need more room? Before you consider mo­ ving to a larger home, remember that it is often possible to optimize your interior space with just a few renovations and simple mo­difications. Here are a few tips.

1. KNOCK DOWN SOME WALLS It is normal to feel a little cramped in a house where all the rooms are enclosed. Having lots of walls creates a barrier, both visually and in terms of movement. For these reasons, many architects and designers fa­vour open floor plans.

If this idea appeals to you, you could ask a couple of renovation professionals to ins­ pect your home and identify which walls can be re­moved without affecting the soli­ dity of the structure. A You can create a more open living environment by optimizing storage and tearing down a wall or two.

load-bearing wall can be re­ moved, but it will take more time and mo­ney. Check with your municipality to find out if a permit is required for this type of renovation before starting any de­moli­tion work.

2. OPTIMIZE STORAGE To help increase available space in your home, go through every room and decide what could be stored more efficiently. Could all those pairs of shoes lying around on your floor be kept on a shoe rack in the closet? Could the DVDs that are gathering dust in your living room be stored in the garage or the attic?

3. HANG SOME MIRRORS In addition to capturing light, mirrors give the il­lusion of space. Hang some large mir­rors in cram­ped rooms to create an instant feeling of spa­ ciousness. Just re­member to check what is re­flec­ted in them.

Tips for installing CROWN MOULDINGS Crown mouldings are a beautiful addition to any room but require patience, know-how and skill to install.

Ready to try? The following tips could prove useful.

YOUR TOOLS Once you’ve purchased enough crown moulding for the dimensions of your room — allowing yourself an additional section of at least 2.5 metres for test cuts — gather together the following items: mitre saw, template, hammer, finishing nails, wood glue, la­tex caulking and a pencil.

CUT Crown mouldings have to be cut at a 45° angle if they are to fit properly in right angle joints. To avoid costly mistakes, do a trial run on the portion of moulding you bought for this purpose. Pressing firmly, stabilize the crown moulding on the template and cut it with the mitre saw. After placing the test mouldings in a corner and making sure the joint is to your satisfaction, draw some reference points with your pencil.

GLUE Once all your final mouldings are cut, ask a willing volunteer to help you install them. Start by spreading wood

glue over the entire surface of the back of the crown moulding before applying it to the wall. Then hammer in the finishing nails approximately every 30 cm. After joinEstimates ing the mouldings in the right angles, wipe off any excess Free Experienced & glue with a damp cloth.

Fully Insured Lastly, before painting your crown mouldings, fill the nail Paul Thomson, Owner holes and cracks with the latex caulking and allow to dry.

HOME, GARDEN & RENOVATION

Decorative STORAGE IDEAS for your home Are accessories, toys and all kinds of other stuff cluttering up your home?

Great news: there are lots of clever ways to hide everything, all while enhancing your decor.

KITCHEN Have a large perforated peg board (like those used in garages or workshops) cut to size. Paint it the colour you want, attach it securely to the wall and use hooks to hang all your large pots and utensils on it. Apart from giving your kitchen a modern look, this arrangement will free up a lot of space in your cabinets.

PLAY ROOM Children’s toys can be stored in sturdy multi-coloured containers. Keep them on low shelves or under a bench. A coloured net or hammock attached to the ceiling is also a smart way to free

up floor space. Just think of all those stuffed animals you can put up there!

LIVING ROOM Remote controls, video ga­mepads and magazines can be stored in an ot­toman designed just for this purpose. Some models come with wicker baskets or stylish racks that make it possible to quickly hide all the odds and ends that are cluttering up your living room.

BATHROOM This room is often short on space, so individual shelves and shelving units are ideal for optimizing storage. Lay out your best to­wels —

How to create CURB APPEAL

rolled or folded like at a hotel — and ar­range them with your finest handmade soaps and scented bath salts.

Lastly, for a clutter-free counter, gather all your various bottles and compacts to­gether on a pretty tray.

Waterways

“Homebuyers tend to use the exterior of a home and its yard as a gauge on what the inside looks like,” says Patricia Verge, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association. “First impressions are critical to capture the attention of homebuyers and send the message that the home has been well cared for, inside and out.”

To ensure your home stands out and gets noticed for the right reasons this fall, Verge recommends taking care of these simple steps before listing: • Cut: Make sure trees and bushes are neatly trimmed.

• Clear: Remove leaves and sticks from gutters. Make sure the lawn is mowed, leaves are raked and weeds are removed.

• Clean: Wash windows, pressure-

wash dirty siding and decks, and kill mould and mildew on the house, sidewalks, roof and driveway.

• Paint: If you can’t afford to do the whole house, a fresh coat of paint will transform your front door and provide a more welcoming entrance.

• Upgrade: Change outdated locks and handles on your front door, replace rusty fixtures and add lighting to the front porch and yard.

“Preparing the exterior is one of the most important things sellers can do to ready a home for sale,” says Verge.

Talk to your Realtor about what potential buyers in your area are looking for.

CAMERON, WAllACE “WAlly”

(Retired entrepreneur) Peacefully at the Arnprior Hospital while surrounded by family on Saturday morning, May 14th, 2016. Wallace Andrew Cameron passed away at the age of 74. Beloved husband of Judy (nee Silieff). Dearly loved father of Robin Cameron (Heather) of Braeside and Wendy Wilson (Jeff Rooney) of Arnprior. Proud “Poppa” of Jacob and Jenna. Dear brother of Bill Cameron of Barry’s Bay; Ivan Cameron (Inez) of Pembroke; Calvin Cameron (Linda) of Arnprior and Ivah Lois Manley (Richard) of Owen Sound. Predeceased by his parents, Wallace Bruce Cameron and Merle Young as well as siblings: Sterling Cameron (late Aileen); Irvin Cameron (Jessie of Cornwall) and Doreen Carleton (late Gary). Also survived by many nieces and nephews. Wally, a hardworking man, always maintained a positive attitude.

He had an ability that few possess…the ability to make people feel good. His cheerfulness and smile will be missed by all who knew him. Friends were invited to join Wally’s family during visitation at the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior on Tuesday, May 17th from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. and again on Wednesday morning, May 18th from 10 to 10:45 a.m. A Service to honour and remember Wally’s life followed in the Pilon Family Chapel at 11 o’clock. Interment Madawaska, Ontario at a later date. In memory of Wally, please consider a donation to the Arnprior Hospital “Palliative Care Unit”.

Heartfelt thanks to Dr. W.E. Gordon and the amazing staff of the Arnprior Hospital for taking such amazing care of Wally in the final days of his life.

FIREWOOD PRAYERS PRAYER TO The Blessed Virgin, never to fail! Oh most beautiful flower of Mount Carmel, fruitful vine ,splendor of heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in necessity, Oh Star of the Sea. Help me and show me, here you are “my mother”. Oh Holy Mary Mother of God, Queen of heaven and earth. I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to secure me in my necessity (make request).

There are none that can withstand your power. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3 times).

Say this prayer for three consecutive days and then you must publish it and it will be granted to you.

DJ & RS

PHIL SHRIVE May 30, 1953 – May 23, 2003 I often sit and think about How life today would be If “Killer” Highway 17, Hadn’t taken you from me.

The 13 years have slipped away, I can’t believe it’s true, The days I thought I couldn’t make it, You always saw me through.

Our memories live deep in my heart, The years can’t take that away.

My love for you continues on, As strong as that fateful day.

Remembering your smile…

Love Karen and Family

ENERGY $AVING$!

Before buying an air conditioning unit or system, find out its energyefficiency ratio (EER).

Calculate the EER by dividing the unit’s cooling capacity (BTUs/hour) by its energy requirement (watts). An EER of 10 or more is very good, and 6 or 7 is fair.

Remember to buy the smallest capacity unit or system that will meet your needs.

My library has what? Check it out!

Kelly Thompson

Renfrew Public Library CEO

Stress overload! I know it’s hard to believe that working in a place as happy as a library can be stressful, but it really is. We try to be everything for everyone and we forget to ask for help. We forget that all of the wonderful people we try so hard to support, may be able (and willing) to help us out in return. So, in this article, I am asking for help.

We have had a floorplan drawn up that will open up the main floor of the library to allow better use of space. We are reusing much of what we already have, just rearranging it for better flow. One of our big stumbling blocks is that

our shelving needs to be cut down and reassembled to a lower height.

This is a very expensive part of the project and neither I, nor my staff, has these specific skills. The idea is to have more seating areas near the front of the building. We want our patrons to enjoy that part of the original building with the character and the architecture, and the windows! More seating areas scattered throughout will mean more room to work, chat, learn and explore.

The other part of this plan involves ‘people power.’ Once the shelving starts being moved, books and materials need to be put in place. Most the staff already work many hours they don’t claim, but even with all of us working togeth-

er, this will be a huge job.

We are always happy to help students achieve their 40 community hours (wink wink).

Besides this project, our minds are overflowing with ideas; from creating an art/coffee cupboard (thanks to an idea from a colleague), to a mural leading to the children’s department down the ramp, to a community herb garden. We aim to create and design spaces relevant for everyone. So I am asking any of you who can help out, please let us know. Whether you can donate your time or your skills, we can use much help ensuring our little library continues to positively support and engage with our community in a big way.
