Maybe time for Renfrew to change tax-rate approach Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News – Renfrew had the highest residential tax rates of any Renfrew County municipality in 2013. But in a presentation to council May 12, treasurer Keray O’Reilly said that’s highly misleading. Renfrew moved to the top of the class, after sitting behind Deep River for several years. O’Reilly explained that several local municipalities have lower rates because they already have special tax levies that aren’t part of their tax rates. And maybe it’s time Renfrew did the same, suggested O’Reilly. The same amount of taxes is raised with either approach, but a lower tax rate and additional garbage level could provide a more soothing public relations perspective for the public. O’Reilly says he knows at least four Renfrew County municipalities

have separate levies for waste management, namely Laurentian Valley, Pembroke, Arnprior and McNabBraeside, therefore lower tax rates than they would otherwise have. If Renfrew was to take a similar approach, Renfrew could have removed about $540,000 for garbage collection, recycling and related landfill costs and generated that money through a special levy. If recovered this way from about 3,000 Renfrew households, the special charge would have been about $180 per household in 2014 and reduced the residential tax rate about eight per cent, from .00854526 to .00786502. O’Reilly’s presentation explained what rates were needed, in different tax classes, to generate the $6.9 million in tax levies from the budget approved in February 2014. Renfrew’s total tax levy increased 2.5 per cent, or $173,100, over last year.

New library, kindergarten class part of St. Michael’s expansion Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Sometimes you take a loss for a gain. That’s certainly the case for the Admaston-Bromley Public Library, whose building has been removed to make room for major expansion at St. Michael’s

Catholic School in Douglas. Demolition of the separate structure located between the school and outdoor rink was completed by May 13. New construction plans call for a state-of-the-art kindergarten class, library and extra offices within an addition at the northwest end of the elementary

school. The total cost remains confidential until all aspects of the project are tendered. The move to temporary quarters, in one of two portable classrooms, required the efforts of about 25 volunteers and the library’s only employee, librarian Jane Wouda. See LIBRARY, page 2

“It hurt a little,” said Wouda, who visited the library on Friday, May 9 to say her goodbyes, where a few wires were left hanging along with many good memories. “It was sad, even though I knew we’re going to a beautiful new building.” There has been a longstanding agreement, signed in the 1970s, between the Douglas-based library and the Catholic board. And that agreement will remain intact for the library’s new home, said acting superintendent of education Mark Searson. “It’s a shared-agreement partnership that we value,” he said, knowing the library will remain available to students as well as members of the pub-

The Ministry of Education is funding the building of the kindergarten class, while board funds are being used for the library and office space. “I’m sure I can speak for all staff when I say we’re excited about the additions,” said St. Mike’s principal John Freemark. “The new library is a great thing and the kindergarten class will bring us into the 21st century, with all the amenities.” The kindergarten class’s construction coincides with the arrival in September 2014 of full-time kindergarten at St. Mike’s. At present, kindergarten is every second day. The kindergarten class will feature more space, in-classroom washrooms and lower windows, to accommodate the school’s youngest students, said Searson.

Renfrew office opens for Progressive Conservative incumbent Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - John Yakabuski pursues a fourth straight term as Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP with the help of volunteers at all five of his campaign offices. Friday afternoon (May 16) Yakabuski and his returning campaign manager, Zig Mintha, greeted a gathering of about 20 volunteers to open the Renfrew office at 312 Raglan St. S. in what used to be a factory outlet for mattresses. Yakabuski’s team is optimistic, but not presumptuous, on the campaign trail. “Our job ... is to get John elected, not to know all the policies, to make sure John is there on June the 12th,” said Mintha. “We are confident that we are going to win, but we’re not being smart about it. Don’t take it for granted that it’s all over and we’ve got it won.” Yakabuski followed by saying: “We’re very proud of our provincial program because it’s what’s needed to bring Ontario back to its rightful place.” Locally, he said, “I will continue to pledge my personal commitment and service to the best people in the world, the ones who have elected me three times now.” Questions can be directed to Tom Wojick, Arlette Beaudette and other volunteers in the Renfrew office at 613570-0864. Yakabuski’s other offices are in Eganville, Arnprior, Pembroke and Barry’s Bay.

Fourth time for Reid STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND

The Renfrew campaign office during Progressive Conservative MPP John Yakabuski’s provincial election campaign in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke opens with confidence from supporters. Just left of the Re-elect John Yakabuski sign is campaign manager Zig Mintha of Eganville. Those immediately around the sign include Renfrew office volunteer staff Arlette Beaudette and Tom Wojick and MPP Yakabuski. There are also Progressive Conservative campaign offices in Arnprior, Eganville, Pembroke and Barry’s Bay.

Liberal Party nomination to Arnprior man News - Rod Boileau of Arnprior was nominated May 12 to represent the Liberals in the June 12 provincial election in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke. In a news release announcing Boileau’s candidacy, the Liberal party said that over the past 20 years he has been working in various high tech firms and “has progressively gained experience in leadership roles.” It goes on to say that Boileau also dedicates hiimself to helping others through community service and is an active volunteer with Scouts Canada as the group com-

missioner for 2nd Arnprior Scouting. “I’m running to help elect Kathleen Wynne because Tim Hudak only wants to cut jobs in the Ottawa Valley,” said Boileau. “We need to help expand our hospitals and give our kids more resources in schools, not fire early childhood educators in all-day kindergarten and give hospital staff pink slips. HIGHER-PAYING JOBS

“I want higher-paying jobs in the Valley. We need to put the infrastructure in

place so we don’t have to commute to Ottawa for jobs. We need to get those jobs here throughout the Valley and we need safe roads from one end to the other,” he said. “We don’t need job cuts in our communities. We need investment, and that’s why I’m running as the Liberal candidate in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke.” Boileau is up against incumbent MPP John Yakabuski of the Progressive Conservatives, Brian Dougherty of the New Democratic Party, an independent and COR candidate Murray Reid.

News – Confederation of Regions Party candidate Murray Reid of Admaston-Bromley Township is in the race. Reid was one of five candidates in RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke for the Ontario election of 2011 when he placed fifth overall with 309 votes. That compared to 27,594 for re-elected John Yakabuski of the Progressive Conservative Party. This is the fourth pro-

vincial election campaign for Reid. He may be best known as a beef and sheep farmer, plumber and former member of the very popular band, Metagenesis, which rocked the Ottawa Valley from 1975 to 1980. “I want to bring some new ideas and add my voice to the dismay over the handling of the province and such issues as hydro rates,” said Reid. So far, there are five candidates in the local race. Nominations can be filed until May 29.

Hwy. 132 contract goes to JP2G Steve Newman Steve.newman@metroland.com

JP2G has won a close competition for engineering of Renfrew’s Highway 132 reconstruction project. The estimated value of the project, including engineering, is $2.2 million. The Province is providing 90 per cent funding, or $1.98 million. Companies EXP, BTE and Morrison Hershfield also submitted quality proposals, says development and works director Mike Asselin. The winning bid was $263,482. The highest bid was $270,488. The reconstruction project is for Lisgar Avenue (Highway 132) from Raglan Street South to the town limit, or for about 1.5 kilometres. The contract covers design work in 2014, fees for construction supervision and contract administration in 2015, and post-construction services in 2016. Asselin noted JP2G has experience with design of the Gillan-O’Brien intersection in town, and did recent and similar highway work through Cobden. The construction component of the Hwy. 132 project will be tendered in early winter 2015. Construction is scheduled for completion by December 2015. ASPHALT RESURFACING

Renfrew council has awarded Greenwood Paving of Pem-

broke with the town’s 2014 contract for the supply and application of asphalt. The winning contract was $171,300, compared to $176,400 for H&H Construction, which has done previous work for the town. The funds are available from Renfrew’s operating, water and wastewater budgets for 2014 to patch about 75 road sites around town. Locations will include Lisgar Avenue, Hall Avenue and Lochiel Street. Renfrew seeks prices for an asphalt contract each year for street resurfacing, reconstruction and other maintenance. TOTAL BIA LEVY

Renfrew will extract an annual downtown business improvement levy of $65,000 from local businesses in 2014. The money is used during the year by the Renfrew Business Improvement Area (BIA). The BIA’s 2014 budget includes $7,900 for administration and operation; $24,600 for advertising and promotions; $11,500 for festivals and other events; and $21,000 for beautification, which includes upkeep of flowers and trees in the downtown core. The levy is paid by downtown businesses, whose levies range from $25 to $3,000. Only three businesses pay the highest fee. For the last few years, the BIA’s total levy has been $65,000.

As with most communities, residential ratepayers account for most of Renfrew’s tax levy in 2014. Documents released by treasurer Keray O’Reilly show that 63.2 per cent of the town’s total tax levy of $6,807,045, or $4,300,716, comes from residential zoning. The next highest contribution comes from the commercial sector, which includes shopping centres, with $1,878,147, or 27.6 per cent. Next in order are multiresidential at $375,402 (5.5 per cent); industrial $174,426 (2.6 per cent); large industrial $56,401 (0.8 per cent); pipeline $21,366 (0.3 per cent); farmland $496 (less than 0.1 per cent); and managed forest $91 (less than 0.1 per cent).

Development charges could rise in January Steve Newman Steve newman@metroland.com

News - Development charges for new homes in Renfrew may be rising. Renfrew council has authorized Watson and Associates to prepare an interim development charges bylaw for the town. The present bylaw expires Jan. 25, 2015, but the interim bylaw would be in place for almost two years, from Jan. 26, 2015 to Dec. 31, 2016. Back in March, council awarded the contract to update the development charges (DCs) bylaw. But after more consideration, the recommendation came forward to pursue an interim bylaw. Savings resulting from the development of an interim bylaw will be returned to the unallocated reserve and then used in 2016 to develop a full bylaw. Development charges which are collected when building permit fees are paid are used to offset municipalities’ cost of infrastructure and equipment without placing a

burden on the entire tax base. Development charges recommended back in 2009 were reduced to remain competitive with adjacent communities, but development and works director Mike Asselin says development charges in municipalities of similar size are trending higher, closer to $7,000 or more per household. Renfrew’s current DCs, which remain in effect up to and including Jan. 25, 2015, are $3,175 for single and semi-detached homes, or $553 lower than in neighbouring Horton Township. Renfrew’s other DCs are $2,500 for apartments with two or more bedrooms; $2,130 for one-bedroom and bachelor apartments; $3,000 for other multiples; and $2.25 per square foot for non-residential properties. A development charges interim bylaw was recommended by Asselin and treasurer Keray O’Reilly. “Typically we would do a very intensive study and forecast all the infrastructure needs that are growth-related

Town of Renfrew

and affecting new development areas,� said Asselin. “If we proceeded with the full bylaw right now, this would be done on very crude estimates. But if we waited a year or a year and a half, we would have very good numbers, and accurate information to include in our DC bylaw.� Asselin said some increases in development charges can likely be justified “to get us through the next two years.� By that time, the town’s master plan for servicing would be completed and “spell out infrastructure costs and any costs related to growth a lot more accurately than we could include in this next (interim) DC bylaw,� said Asselin. A council workshop in June and public meeting in July are scheduled prior to the possible passing of the interim bylaw in August while council remains in office. If the bylaw isn’t passed before the October municipal election, clerk Kim Bulmer says Renfrew could be without new development charges for a short while in early 2015.

Less garbage means more life for Renfrew’s landfill site Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Golder Associates, which provides engineering and environmental services for Renfrew’s landfill, provided an update to town council and senior staff May 12. Engineering consultants Megan Farnel and Andy Benson represented the company, which has worked on the landfill site for about a decade. Their presentation included reference to improvements made by the town in recent years, namely sharp reduction of its annual garbage collection, from 23,000 cubic metres in 2009 to less than 11,000 last year. This is the result of such activities as increased compaction, diversion of recycla-

bles, and better use of landfill cover. These reductions are “significant for our site,” said Renfrew development and works director Mike Asselin, knowing Golder Associates is looking to the provincial government to extend the landfill’s shelf life by two or three years. This increase could leave 15 or 20 years in its current stage-four footprint. This could be accomplished by changing land contours bordering the landfill site, water diversion, and removal of brick and concrete to build a ring road (instead of filling up landfill space). Golder Associates and the town are preparing for future expansion to stage five, a process that could cost the town

nearly $1 million. That stage could also add 25 to 33 years of landfill space. As Benson and Farnel pointed out, acquiring approval for stage five is a lengthy process and the costs are unknown. The approval process could take up to 10 years. Golder is already examining the feasibility of moving into stage five by completing groundwater modelling and evaluating waste-management options and costs. Golder also plans to meet with provincial officials to determine if elevated concentrations of some groundwater substances are of concern. In a letter to the Ministry of the Environment, the company provided a different interpretation of the readings. Potential causes, said Golder, could be

varied as the landfill’s content, road salting activities, natural decay and other sources outside the landfill site. Benson noted nearby Bruce Street is substantially salted during the winter. “Golder provided a different interpretation than what the ministry said, that we didn’t think this was solely from the

landfill,” said Farnel. “We don’t think the site is out of compliance, (and) we provided this interpretation in our annual report.” Golder also said so in a letter to the ministry last summer. To date, the ministry has not replied, so Golder Associates has requested a meeting to clarify if any concerns re-

main. Following the consultants’ presentation May 12, Asselin complimented the company’s work. “I think the town’s in very good hands with Golder,” said Asselin. “They’ve served us well and they’ve continued to be available whenever we’ve needed them.”

Two-year agreement

GM road project kept under budget News - Greater Madawaska has received four bids for the reconstruction of Flat Road. At committee of the whole May 13, public works manager Jamie Doering explained that B.R. Fulton Construction had the lowest tender by a significant amount, at $298,917.50 plus HST. Council budgeted $420,000 for this project. To keep tendering costs below that amount, the township will do the clearing, grubbing, ditching and culvert replacement. The work is scheduled to be done by early August. Doering also recommended that the township not rent out public works equipment. Public works had a request from a contractor for rental of its roll off truck. “My concern is the possibility of damage to the equipment and who would be responsible for the repairs,” Doering said. “Also, damage to private property is a concern.” WASTE RECYCLING

The Waste Recycling Strategy’s Clear Bag Program has increased the township’s waste diversion rate by about three per cent.

POST OFFICE HOURS CALABOGIE

The new hours have taken effect at the Calabogie and Burnstown post offices. Calabogie’s hours are now Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9:15 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.; and 3:15 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. On Wednesdays, the Calabogie Post Office is open from 9:15 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.; and 3:15 to 6 p.m. BURNSTOWN

There were nine registered participants. The same program in 201213 drew 54 participants when the township paid the full $60.

News - The County of Renfrew ratified a new collective agreement with its emergency services employees at the May 1 session of county council. The employees were represented in negotiations by the Canadian Union of Public Employees’ Local 4698. The two-year agreement calls for wage increases of 1.5 per cent in 2014 and 1.75 per cent in 2015. This is in line with the recent agreements made with employees at long-term care homes in the county. The emergency workers’ new contract also features enhancements to the vision benefit coverage, a footwear

allowance, a slight increase to the shift premium allowance, and the addition of major restorative dental co-insurance premium sharing. There are also modifications to staffing and scheduling. “We feel it was a fair and equitable negotiation that ended with a successful agreement,” said Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon in a news release. “I’m pleased to see that the agreement was reached quickly and in a way that shines as an example of working together to a mutually-beneficial end,” said Mike Nolan, director of Renfrew County emergency services.

OPINION

EDITORIAL

Interesting race in the works Opinion - Voters in this riding, and in our neighbouring areas, could be forgiven to think the results are a foregone conclusion. Sitting Progressive Conservative MPP John Yakabuski has been increasing his margin of victory impressively ever since he won the riding, once a Sean Conway fiefdom, in a squeaker over the Liberals in 2001. By the time the ballots were counted in the last provincial election, the popular Yakabuski had boosted his percentage of the vote from 53 to more than 70. It’s tough enough for the Liberals to find a candidate, let along defeat Yakabuski. Yakabuski follows a time-honoured Valley tradition, by being high profile, attending a variety of community events all over the riding. He further endears himself to constituents by often singing old-time favourites at the events, songs he has put on CDs to raise money for local charities. So Yakabuski will not be an easy MPP to unseat. After all, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke was the only riding to switch from Liberal to Progressive Conservative when Dalton McGuinty swept the PCs from power. Now the province appears to be on the verge of sweeping the Liberal government out of office.

Or is it? Despite the many Liberal scandals, the government party isn’t doing too badly in the most recent polls. While the Grits aren’t faring so well in the rural areas, they still seem to have a power base in the Greater Toronto area, where so many of the province’s seats lie. The NDP may be lagging in the polls, but they are pinning their hopes on the popularity of their leader, Andrea Horwath. They are also anticipating they will gain support from voters unhappy with the Liberal shenanigans and not enamoured by Hudak’s Conservatives. So while it’s unlikely Yakabuski will be defeated (the same goes in neighbouring ridings with Jack MacLaren and Randy Hillier who are strong favourites), the race provincially appears to be still up for grabs. Local voters should keep this in mind as they watch the campaign. Certainly, the strength of the local candidate is a major factor on how people should vote. But the party platforms and the performances of the leaders also play a role. With a close race predicted, at least for now, it should be an interesting campaign. Voters should be paying attention.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Ball field restoration underway To the editor: Opinion - I would like to take this opportunity to update the community on the progress we have made regarding the restoration of the Calabogie Ball Field. As you will recall there was an incident on April 11 which resulted in damage by a young man and his friends to the municipally owned facility. An immediate concern during the first inspection of the field was the depth of the damage and ensuring drains in the field had not been compromised. The damage was assessed by municipal staff and contractors once the field had dried enough and the surface water had dissipated. The drains were found to not have been compromised and the field was deemed dry enough last week to allow the equipment of contractor Mr. Rick Fleming to enter and repair the field without causing further damage. After consultation with staff it was determined in order to ensure the field was repaired to an appropriate standard we would not utilize the efforts of the young man and his associates. It was felt we did not have knowledge of their abilities and standards of work and wanted to have the field repaired quickly without the complication of managing a number of people we did not know.

There was also the concern about liability when and if the persons would or might be utilizing equipment, especially equipment not owned or maintained by the municipality. In recently speaking with the young person whom I met the evening of April 11, he has acknowledged his responsibility for the damage and he has agreed to fund the repair entirely through a signed agreement. He will be billed and will reimburse the municipality in equal payments with the last payment due on or about the end of September 2014. He is aware should he not follow through with payment in a timely manner other avenues to settle the account will be aggressively pursued. We are fortunate Calabogie Highlands agreed to assist the township temporarily by allowing the soccer program to move over to their facility. They were quite gracious and quick to offer their facility. Our field has been repaired, seeded and rolled and will be available to be utilized by the resident and visiting public within the next two weeks. Please consult with the office at 613-7522222 when scheduling time on the ballfield. Mayor Peter Emon Township of Greater Madawaska

The need for skilled trades is enormous To the editor: Opinion - On behalf of the Ontario College of Trades, I would like to congratulate Opeongo High School for its participation in the 2014 Ontario Technological Skills Competition, and Jondavid Cartman and Tylar Coulas for their first-place finish in the team carpentry category. I attended the competition for the first time this year, and I was genuinely blown away by what I saw. Gail Smyth and her team from Skills Canada-Ontario should be proud of putting together such an impressive event. The level of skill and expertise that was on display at RIM Park in Waterloo was phenomenal, and it’s clear that some of Ontario’s best and brightest young minds have wholeheartedly embraced skilled technology-based trades. It might ‘only’ have been a friendly competition to some, but it wasn’t to me. What I saw was a dress rehearsal for noth-

ing less than the future of Ontario’s economy. If we want our province to stay competitive and compete on a global scale in the future, skilled trades professionals need to play a central role. There is an enormous demand for skilled trades-professionals in Ontario. For those with the right skills and the right work ethic there is a big, bright future in this industry. And with 156 different trades in Ontario to choose from, there is something for every single person that has a desire to excel in a skilled trade. Again, on behalf of the Ontario College of Trades, congratulations to Opeongo High School, Jondavid Cartman and Tylar Coulas on their impressive achievement. I wish them the best of luck in all of their future endeavours. David Tsubouchi Registrar and CEO of the Ontario College of Trades

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Federal government and propaganda

The multi-trillion-dollar threat ture Climate Change estimated that global coastal cities will face $1 trillion in climate costs per year by 2050. Commenting also in Nature, several European researchers argued that the “economic time bomb” of the Arctic melt will cost the world $60 trillion in the next decade. Scientists find that without a reversal of global emissions growth, runaway catastrophic warming could begin from the arctic methane-releasing tipping point as early as 2036. There is no time left for delusions that the carbon taxation recommended by a nearconsensus of economists is a greater threat to our way of life, let alone if used to pay for lowering other taxes. We, and our politicians in Ontario’s election campaign, need to understand and live in the real world if we are to save it.

NASA satellites observed the rapid melt of most of Greenland’s top-ice. Dr. James Hansen has found that extreme temperature events like droughts now cover eight per cent of earth’s surface, whereas they covered less than one per cent before the 1960s. Every month of the past 28 years has had above-average recorded global temperatures. These changes will deeply cost many people from every corner of the world. The scientists of Pew Charitable Trusts have estimated that the warming from the methane release, following the initial melting of arctic ice, will cause $4.9 trillion to $91.2 trillion in worldwide costs by year 2100. The 2012 Climate Vulnerability Monitor report by dozens of scientists and economists estimated that climate change already costs the global economy $1.2 trillion per year, with 100 million human deaths to be expected as a result by 2030. Last year the peer-reviewed journal Na-

To the editor; Opinion - For over a century, science has linked atmospheric global temperature to carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, but it is now especially apparent that humanity faces its greatest threat ever since the rise of the Nazis and the Cuban Missile Crisis. The recent U.S. National Climate Assessment is a reminder of the never-ending series of frightening discoveries exposing just how rapidly the earth is being changed. In the 19th century atmospheric CO2 levels were at 280 parts-per-million (ppm), but that level has been gradually increased by human emissions to now 400 ppm and counting, higher than at any time in the past 800,000 years. Arctic sea ice has decreased in area by roughly 12 per cent per decade since the 1970s, with summer-time ice now covering less than half the area it once did, in 2012 perhaps at its lowest in a million years. In just four days of the 2012 summer,

To the editor: Opinion - Anyone who is aware of what makes the federal government tick knows that it is the political manifestation of the oil industry. If this is news to you, you haven’t been paying attention. The oil industry wants to cash in on the Alberta tar sands asap. Does it like the idea of renewable energy sources becoming popular (or even existing)? Of course not. It is not concerned with the survival of people on this planet. Go figure. Where the rich oil men and their governments are going to live is a mystery. Cheryl Gallant dutifully sends out their propaganda leaflets (on our dime) to convince you that hydro costs are more important than the lives of your children and grandchildren. Don’t believe it! We must act NOW so that our children have a future! Keith Organ Wilno

From nickle-and-dime meters to parking cash grab To the editor: Opinion - Recently, after leaving the recreation centre on Argyle Street, I was surprised to find a parking ticket in the amount of $30 placed on my windshield. I’ve been a long-time member of the gym and always parked in the same spot, I had been working in a different town for an interim but had returned to work back in Renfrew recently, and to my surprise finding a parking ticket justified by a small indiscriminate ‘No Parking” symbol that bordered the Giant Tiger parking lot and the recreation centre. After the wise business-enhancing decision to remove parking meters

from the downtown core, is this the town’s way of surreptitiously making up for the supposed lost revenue? Thirty dollars won’t break the bank, but it is a mildly-absurd rate for a side street of a small town. The real issue is the fact that I was at the gym after normal business day hours, at 5 p.m. and, more importantly, the option to contest/appeal the fine comes with a disclaimer that should the fine be upheld I (the perpetrator) would be responsible for the court costs. Don’t I already pay for the court costs with my tax dollars? How’s this democracy? I’m new to criminal activity so for-

give me if this isn’t news. We have every conceivable type of legal process and type of recidivism grinding the legal process to a virtual standstill and Joe Tax Paying Citizen can’t take time from work to file an appeal without the threat of a $30 cash grab turning into what would presumably be hundreds of dollars of court costs. I would have chalked it up to being a donation if the Town of Renfrew had decided to invest in the public pool like they should have, but this ridiculous. Colin Wylie Admaston Bromley Township

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Destitution, abuse and neglect mean not all children born into idyllic life IF the parents want the child, and IF the parents can afford the child mentally, emotionally, physically, and ďŹ nancially.

Spring bear hunt in Ontario will not get the results promised To the editor: Opinion - Whatever your beliefs are about the Spring Bear Hunt Pilot Project, don’t expect to see any of the results promised by the government. Denying the facts about this issue doesn’t mean they don’t exist. As a hunter for over 50 years and living here in the North, I am saddened by the failure residents in bear country to take responsibility for educating themselves on this issue. I was a 32-year member of the Ontario Federation of Anglers & Hunters (OFAH) and ended my membership over concern with their position to support a return of the hunt. I am especially dismayed by their attempt to polarize northerners against southern Ontarians with their inammatory rhetoric, by stating that “big city animal rights extremists are trying to derail the hunt.â€? They might be surprised how many northerners oppose the hunt, especially since this issue has unfairly created a negative image of all hunters. Their stating that the bear population has exploded is not based in fact. Also, it is quite possible that the use of baiting bears might actually increase nuisance bear activity by habituating bears to human food. Many hunters believe that having a hunting season for any animal with nursing young is unethical, as misidentiďŹ cation by hunters can be a problem and not only with bears. Orphaned cubs die a lingering painful death as very few are fortunate to be found and taken to a rescue centre. We wouldn’t tolerate a spring hunt for deer or moose with their young, so why do we condone it for bear cubs? Public safety and nuisance bear activity will not be solved as promised by Minister Orazietti and the OFAH. Supporters of a hunt chose to disregard decades of scientiďŹ c research on the human/bear conict issue, done by many leading black bear researchers across North America, including Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources’s own respected bear biologists. Instead, they want to pursue an approach that didn’t work in the past when we had a full spring hunt! Research also concluded that increasing the number of bears shot, neither decreased nuisance bear complaints nor addressed human safety concerns. The Province’s 2003 Nuisance Bear Committee formed to assess the problem also agreed that a hunt would have little to no impact on nuisance bear activity.

Telling people that a hunt will improve public safety erroneously creates a false sense of security. Educating residents regarding the facts on how to avoid or deal with an encounter is exactly what the education component of the Bear Wise Program achieves. A recent three-year study found that over half of black bear attacks across North America, including the recent serious one near Cochrane and the one near Peterborough involved an unleashed dog. So if public safety is the real concern as Minister Orazietti states, don’t you think dog owners need be made aware of this critical piece of information? To the detractors of the Bear Wise Program, who have no ďŹ rsthand experience, I can attest to its effectiveness after 10 years as local facilitators, our Friends of Algoma East volunteers, have seen the huge changes the program has achieved in reducing bear problems in Elliot Lake. Failure of the Bear Wise Program to provide more dramatic results was not due to the program’s design, but rather lack of full implementation and ongoing commitment to Bear Wise protocols, especially the strict enforcement of attractant bylaws by participating communities. The Province has invested in developing an effective world-class program, so let’s make sure it is well utilized to provide the intended results. Our group has done over 130 black bear information presentations reaching over 3,500 people since 2004. explaining how to co- exist with bears in their increasingly urbanized environment. Most of those attending had the same unrealistic fear of bears but leave with a new respect and awareness. I respectfully suggest that everyone who lives or recreates in bear country, take the time to learn the ‘etiquette’ of how to safely co-exist with all our wild neighbours. This issue presented a huge opportunity to educate residents about the real solutions to human/bear conicts, but instead has been used to prey on our fears and continue to feed on the fact that we will not co-exist with animals we fear or misunderstand and choose instead to destroy them. It is in our nature to resist change, but implementing Bear Wise in a community is worth the perceived inconvenience. In Elliot Lake, it is still working! Jim Johnston, president Friends of Algoma East Elliot Lake

12 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, May 22, 2014

It is the sad truth that there are children created through rape or under other unfortunate circumstances, or that have a high likelihood of being malformed in some way – whether or not through any fault of one or both parents, or whose mother is physically at risk because of pregnancy. Sadder still is the truth that many children are born to parents who are too immature for a proper marriage relationship much less for the care of a child. Some are born to parents mentally, emotionally or physically unable to deal with parenthood. Many babies are born into national, local and/or family cultures that promote or at least tolerate violence, neglect or other abuse. (There is a reason for all those posters by our roadsides that remind us spousal abuse is against the law, and for the many organizations offering refuge and counselling to family

members that are victims of domestic violence.) Another factor many people wish to ignore is the instability we are facing, here in Canada and all over the world. Thanks to the common business policies of hiring as few people as possible for as little pay as possible, with no beneďŹ ts and no job security and no likelihood of improvement in any of these, the majority of people are unemployed or underemployed, and cannot afford a decent home of their own. Further, thanks to the common business policies of ever-increasing prices for ever-decreasing value of products and services, most people can barely keep up with their rent and utility and food expenses, much less pay the exorbitant costs of raising a child these days. And parents working 24/7, or stressed by lack of sustainable income, cannot care properly for their chilR0012708712

dren. It is no blessing to bring a child into a world of destitution, abuse, or neglect. Even simple lack of a stable and loving family life has devastating psychological effects on a child.

Under such harmful conditions as described above, prevention of pregnancy is ideal. Where that fails, prevention of a life of utter misery is warranted. Allison Azulay Renfrew

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Tootsie’s story of survival in the country To the editor: Opinion - Tootsie’s stay in the country nearly ended tragically. The city dog was lost for eight hours recently after she fell down an abandoned well off a bush road. But she was rescued Tuesday thanks to the help of our country neighbours. Every morning for a month, my daughter’s pet, an eight-year-old black Lab, joined our daily walking group of ďŹ ve dogs and seven humans along a 3.5-km stretch of road. Our dogs go off leash on this isolated road, darting in and out of the woods. Happily wagging her tail, Tootsie usually tries to follow our collie, Piper. But she disappeared when Piper came out of dense section up from the beaver dam and pond. No matter how

much we whistled and called, we had no luck. We retraced our footsteps and then drove the car up and down the road. Our neighbours Tim and Ruth McHugh got their ATVs to search the off-road trails. Four hours later, we contacted Valley Heritage Radio whose announcer alerted listeners to watch for our missing dog; we called all the neighbours, the Animal Shelter, the Humane Society, and anyone who would listen! Several neighbours suggested leaving an item of clothing at the last spot we saw her since a dog may back track and stay with the piece of clothing with our scent. Again, no luck. I prepared my daughter for possible bad news.

None of us would give up, even eight hours later as Tim and Ruth joined us for another off-road search where we last saw her. Suddenly Kurt and Ruth thought they heard a bark and a whine. Following the sound through thickets, we found Tootsie staring up at us from an abandoned well. She was standing on a ledge (about ďŹ ve feet from the top), up to her chest in water, just 20 feet off the road. The well had concrete walls, was deep and ďŹ lled with water, to the ledge. The opening was about four feet square and was well camouaged with an old tree trunk covering part of it! She looked so-o-o sad – like a drowned rat. The two guys got on their bellies, lifted her front and backside out to safety. Tootsie wobbled to the car. The vet has conďŹ rmed that Tootsie had no major injuries – a bump on her head, some of her nails were worn down to the quick from trying to escape. She is one lucky dog! We are eternally grateful to Tim and Ruth for being the determined neighbours that they are. What an adventure! Jane de Snaijer Burnstown

The path to vitality

I panicked... STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND

21st McHappy Day McDonald’s restaurants across Canada celebrated their 21st edition of McHappy Day May 7. Serving Kayla Larivière and daughter Bentley is Renfrew McDonald’s manager Ashley Miller. During McHappy Day, proceeds from various food items, including $1 from the purchase of every Big Mac, Happy Meal and hot McCafé, are donated to Ronald McDonald House and other children’s charities. As the mother of three young children, Miller said she’s a big supporter of McHappy Day.

My hair was thinning! For a long time Christie had wanted to do something extra for her hair. She felt it appeared dull and was thinning. Hair VolumeTM became her resource.

C

hristie encountered hair loss, which was very frustrating. “I have tried many things before, but to no avail.”

Read about Hair Volume™ Christie has worked in a pharmacy all her life. “Maybe that is why I was skeptical, when I first read about Hair Volume. I am always studying the declarations very carefully and there was something about this product,

which made me realize that it was special.”

Very positive experience “Today I have taken the Hair Volume tablets for 38 days and I can truly feel an improvement and less hair loss. My nails are also stronger and less grooved. All in all a very positive experience. I will definitely continue taking this product”, relates a happy Christie.

DID YOU KNOW? Grey hairs can begin to appear due to a lack of copper in your diet. Hair Volume™ tablets contain copper, which affects melanin production to help avoid grey hairs.

About 40 community members – including firefighters, paramedics and regular customers – volunteered to serve customers during Renfrew McDonald’s McHappy Day. Helping out May 7 are Ottawa Ronald McDonald House staff Jackie Legault (left) and Cheryl Levasseur and Renfrew Metro grocery store owner Ray Vidler. Figure skater Patrick Chan and moguls skier Alex Bilodeau were among several Olympians who took part at McDonald’s locations across Canada. Renfrew McDonald’s raised $3,800 toward the cross-Canada total of $4.2 million.

A cool promotion Al Utronki Appliances & TV Centre held its annual Frigidaire Fill the Freezer for the Food Bank promotion in April. Ten dollars from every Frigidaire product went to the Renfrew and District Food Bank. The campaign raised $610. Kerri-Ann Utronki makes the cheque presentation to food bank president Doug Brookes.

YOUR HAIR TABLET Hair Volume™ nourishes the hair roots with nutrients like biotin, zinc, b-vitamins and horsetail, all important for healthy hair. Hair Volume also contains procynidin B2 found in apples, which has shown to benefit hair follicle activity. Available at participating pharmacies and health food stores.

would rely on the generosity of the members of the Lutheran church to survive. I knew the Depression was all around us, but I didn’t know anyone out in the country who didn’t have enough food for their table. I would watch the buggy disappear into the far-

time at the noon hour. Mother would pump his hand, welcome him in, and my sister Audrey, without even being asked, would scrunch up the plates on the table, and make room for another place. Mother made no effort to tidy things up, or make the meal more fancy. We didn’t even get out the dishes that had come in puffed wheat. The only change was Mother sat between my sister Audrey and me, leaving the end of the table for the Minister. Father, of course, sat where he always did, at the other end. And instead of Father saying Grace, the minister, on Mother’s invitation said the blessing, which was long and purposeful. Then I would see an entirely different man from the one I saw in the Lutheran church on Sunday. He and Father told jokes, slapping the table with the palm of their hands, and all the time, he was amply lading his plate with seconds and even third helpings of everything before him, which pleased Mother beyond words. Even a visitor the stature of the minister, didn’t stop Father from pouring out his tea into his saucer to cool it off, and then drinking it. And as soon as the meal was over, Father got up from the table, minister or not, and headed back out to the fields. Always, I knew what was going to happen next. Audrey would be sent to the smoke house and the chicken coop. She would come back with a roast and a link or two of sausages, and a small basket of fresh eggs. Everett would, without asking, have cornered a fowl, pushed it squawking into a grain sack, and everything would be put in the minister’s buggy. The minister would pump Mother’s hand, ruffle my hair, tell Audrey again how she was growing into a fine young woman, and my three brothers that he would see them in church, and then with great effort he would climb into the buggy, and the old horse without any direction from his owner, would turn in the yard and head out the lane.

Lifestyle - The minister, I thought, was like he was two different people. I had an unbelievable fear of him when he was in church delivering what seemed to be an endless sermon with words that were completely above my head. I had no idea what he was talking about, and when we left the service to go to our Sunday school class, I lived in dread that the Sunday school teacher would ask me what I had learned that day from the sermon. Thankfully, she was high on the Beatitudes and the Psalms, and that was usually what our lesson was about. The minister was a whale of a man, and when he walked down the middle of the church to get to the pulpit, his shoes squeaked like fury, which Emerson said meant they hadn’t been paid for. How he knew that bit of information was beyond me. By the time the minister had climbed into the pulpit which was a round carved wood affair high above the pews, he was panting like he was going to take his last breath, and winter and summer, the sweat poured off his face in little rivulets. He frowned a lot, and I always thought he was angry with the lot of us, or that he knew that some of us had committed some horrible sin. And to emphasise a point, he pounded the rail of the pulpit with his bible that I was sure would one day fly out of his hand and hit me square on the head since we sat in the front pew, a few feet away. His wife, whom Mother said was a saint...a pure saint, sat ramrod straight, looking neither left nor right. Through perfect planning, Sunday school always ended at the exact time the last hymn was being sung in the church. Then we children marched back into the church, standing at the door where we were expected to shake hands with the minister. This scared the living starch out of me, convinced that he could read my mind and he would know every evil thought I had ever had in my head about bad Marguirite, and know ever sin I had ever committed. I couldn’t wait to get in the buggy and get back home to the farm. And often then, I would see another side to our minister. I wasn’t sure if it was part of his duties as our spiritual leader, or if he just liked a good meal occasionally, but we could always count on a pastoral visit at least once every two weeks when the summer weather came. He didn’t own a car, but he did have a buggy, and an old nag of a horse that was much like our poor old Harry with the heaves. You could have walked in our lane faster than the minister’s horse pulling the buggy! And he always came at our dinner

Bittersweet Gallery presents LOOK OF LUV Bittersweet Gallery

Community - LOOK OF LUV marks the third event hosted by Burnstown’s Bittersweet Gallery in support of Ovarian Cancer Canada and the Ovarian Cancer Canada Walk of Hope to help raise awareness of the foundation’s goals and objectives. Gallery owner Cheryl Babineau is once again planning to showcase the popular designs of Montreal jeweller Anne Marie Chagnon with a spring trunk show of her latest collection called LUV. T he gallery has represented the designer since 2000 and boasts the largest collection of her work outside of Quebec. Babineau has collaborated with Burnstown resident Denyse Campeau, national director of development for Ovarian Cancer Canada, who will be present to answer questions and raise awareness of the foundation’s goals and objectives. The event will also feature new works of its stable of artists and introduce some new ones. Sculptor Richard Gill will open his studio where visitors can preview some intriguing current works in progress. It’s a good opportunity to discuss custom work or sign up for a workshop in clay-relief. Taste Funatic chef Gunnar Guckes of Grassy Bay Getaway, Calabogie returns to create sweet and savory snacks for the occasion. There will also be a draw to win an exquisite Chagnon piece as well as a relief sculpture by Gill. Funds raised from last year’s event were used to launch a Walk for Hope for Ovarian Cancer Canada in the fall that took place in the Bennett-Lindsay labyrinth on gallery grounds. Bittersweet donates 10 per cent of Chagnon sales to the cause. Participants in the walk raised almost $8,000. Chagnon’s work is prolific. Every year she conceives and manifests an entirely new collection that that merits a celebratory launch. Blessed with a bountiful imagination and trained at the Fine Arts Faculty of the University of Quebec in Montreal, Chagnon shapes materials instinctively while achieving a playful harmony of form. Signature renderings captured in shimmering, silver pewter, sensuous radiant gold and bright

copper create a landscape where wind, water, fire and air mingle. We see these elements represented in her ink drawings, watercolours and graphite artworks miniaturized in resin and for the first time within glass, which casts a new light on this collection. Why Ovarian Cancer Canada? • Of the 2,600 women diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year in Canada, 70 per cent will not survive five years. With vague symptoms and no early detection test, ovarian cancer is Canada’s most fatal women’s cancer. Tragically, it takes the lives of too many of our mothers, sisters and daughters each year, devastating families in its wake. • A recent survey of Canadian researchers in the field of ovarian cancer concluded that $10 million is needed to make significant strides towards a reliable early screening test, improved treatments, and enhancing the quality of life for women living with this disease. Yet a recent study by Charity Intelligence Canada shows that only 2.1 per cent of Canadian donations for cancer are directed at ovarian cancer. Research is the only means to overcoming ovarian cancer, but we also need to continue supporting women living with the disease and their families, as well as providing education and awareness for the general public and health care professionals. The work of Ovarian Cancer Canada is not duplicated by any other group – their work to overcome ovarian cancer and the attention they are now giving to the other gynecological cancers, is unique in Canada. “Together we can give hope to women living with ovarian cancer, hope to their families and loved ones, and hope to all the women in Canada who could face this devastating disease,” Babineau says in a news release. Her daughters are genetically at high risk. “Together we can dedicate ourselves to the prevention and elimination of ovarian cancer,” she says. The LOOK OF LUV opens at Bittersweet Fine Craft and Art on June 7 at 11 a.m. and ends 8 p.m. at 5 Leckie Lane in Burnstown. The Bennett/Lindsay Labyrinth will also be open to visitors to explore. For more, call 613-432 5254 or 613-433-9990.

With her goodies and all the delicious treats the seniors made, Golden Age Centre raised just under $900 for the centre. “Thank you to everyone who supported the centre and to a very special youth! “ says Golden Age Centre staff member Kayla Menkhorst.

Community - Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church is hosting its second annual open house on Saturday, June 7. We hope that everyone in town will come to share in the celebration. There will be bouncy castles, a drumming workshop, face-painting, hamburgers, hotdogs and popcorn. For anyone who just wants to relax with friends, our tea room will be a pleasant stop. Those are just some of the many activities for all ages — all for free. Take part in it all, or just one thing. Stay for 10 minutes or for the whole two hours. You are welcome! Inside, at 3:30 p.m., a drumming workshop will be led by Judy and Ross McEwen. If you have a drum and can bring it, please do, but drums will also be provided. No experience necessary. The open house will also feature a demonstration of Godly Play, the imaginative, Biblical story-based approach to spiritual development in the Christian tradition that has replaced more traditional approaches to Sunday school at TrinitySt. Andrew’s. Godly Play assumes that children already have

experiences of God before learning the words to describe their experiences (think of the awe and wonder of a young child in a field of flowers.) Godly Play teaches them the Christian language of sacred stories, parables and symbolic actions. The stories are told in a circle, using beautiful three-dimensional story materials, and the teacher encourages the children to engage in and find meaning in the stories through a series of wondering questions such as: “I wonder what you like best in this story; I wonder where you are in this story.” Finally the children (or adults) continue their wondering through creative expression with art and writing materials. Godly Play is not only

M-B taxpayers face 2.7 per cent tax hike Sherry Haaima sherry/haaima@metroland.com

News – The numbers are in and it looks like McNab-Braeside ratepayers will face a 2.7 per cent bottom line property tax increase this year. Substantial investments in the fire department and maintaining about $162,000 for recreation programming and facility enhancements are included in the proposed budget. Township treasurer Angela Lochtie presented the updated draft budget to council May 6. “Based on this draft budget information, the overall tax rate increase – inclusive of township, county and school – to McNabBraeside property owners is 2.7 per cent or $26.33 per $100,000 of assessment,� said Lochtie. The municipal garbage levy is also increasing, reports Lochtie. Residential properties will see a $20 increase in 2014. A township press release says the township tax levy (revenue collected through taxes) is rising from the $3,245,372 in the

Kenney visits riding

NOTES

A breakdown of the reasons behind the increase: fire department capital spending ($152,527 increase) and staff reorganization ($53,760); planning for the OMB hearing ($80,000); roads resurfacing ($70,000); policing ($26,598); physician recruitment ($25,000), energy price increases excluding landfill ($23,919), equipment repair cost increases excluding landfill ($15,957) and other increases including an energy audit and parking bylaw enforcement ($14,478). Council has opted to go with the recreation committee’s recommendation that $162,600 be

budgeted for recreation programming and facility enhancements. That figure currently includes Red Pine Bay boat launch dredging ($20,000) and $7,000 for new programs. Following the adoption of the budget, the line associated to the dredging will be moved from recreation to public works. For the purposes of reporting, say officials, the item must remain as a recreation activity. Staff will develop a formal policy for reporting in-kind donations. The recording of in-kind donations has both accounting policy/audit implications and practical, administrative considerations. Implementing the change will have a zero bottom-line impact on the overall budget.

News - Federal minister of employment and social development Jason Kenney met with party faithful recently at the Oaks of Cobden clubhouse. Kenney was welcomed to the riding by Renfrew-NipissingPembroke MP Cheryl Gallant who, in a news release after the event, said the minister delivered a powerful message of dedication and responsibility. Kenney became Parliamentary Secretary to Prime Minister Harper in 2006, and Secretary of State for Multiculturalism and Canadian Identity in 2007.

for March 2015 and an investment in physician recruitment are other drivers behind the increase, say the township. Mayor Mary Campbell congratulated the treasurer, a new member of the township staff, on the draft. “Really well done Angie,� she said.

Minister Jason Kenney and MP Cheryl Gallant.

2013 budget to $3,707,610, an increase of $462,238. With the net real property assessment growth taken into consideration, this levy change represents an increase of 13.57 per cent. Reductions in the Renfrew county and school board levies have helped balance off the considerable municipal increase. Included in the rise are key expenditures in the fire department, an essential service, explain township officials. Breathing apparatus for firefighters as well as replacement of an aging pumper are among the investments. Also, the fire department has reorganized in 2014 to provide an improved level of service to residents. Gravel resurfacing has been added back into the budget, after being cut in 2013 to address increases in other service areas, including recreation. Price increases for energy and policing, money to pay for the upcoming Ontario Municipal Board hearing scheduled

Big Bike for Heart and Stroke a success Volunteers and staff at Bonnechere Manor rode the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Big Bike in style May 7. “This small, but mighty team managed to pedal-power their way to raising almost $1,800 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation,” said Erin Wilson, the manor’s client outreach programs supervisor. “We were pleased when an 85-year-old neighbour from Quail Creek (Retirement Residence) joined our manor team. A big thanks to all of our sponsors and to the Bonnechere Manor Big Bike participants.” Teams made up of 29 riders each commit to raise $50 or more. A driver is provided by the foundation and riders pedal through their community in support of heart disease and stroke research. In front, from left, are Lori Boudreau, Erin Wilson, Mark Peever and driver Gary Blaire.

Queen Elizabeth students on first tour of museum Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

It was the first of perhaps many guided classroom tours of the National Hockey Association-National Hockey League Birthplace Museum in Renfrew. Eighteen students from teacher Anya Miller’s Grade 2/3 class at Queen Elizabeth Public School took the free tour May 1 under the direction of museum board member and

retired teacher Doug Miller. The diversity of history on display, on the second floor of Renfrew’s post office building, was evident in something as basic as the display of hockey sticks. During a ceremonial face-off with Miller, student Dori Pilgrim held a wooden stick from the 1930s, while Isaac LaBossière held one used by the Flying Fathers probably 15 years ago.

Sports - They may not be as dominant as in the past two decades when they won 14 Renfrew County track and field championships in 15 years, but the Renfrew Collegiate Raiders still made their presence felt at the May 14 event in Arnprior. Amanda Tubman highlighted this year’s performance by sharing the senior girls individual title.Tubman won both the discus and shot put, and also came second in the javelin. Josh Thero and Zach Moran also finished first in two events. Thero won the senior boys long jump and javelin, while Moran took the midget boys long jump and 100 metres. John Pettigrew captured the senior boys 3,000 metres and brother Ryan Pettigrew the midget boys high jump.

Gym change leads to low-scoring affair in ladies basketball action Ladies Spring Basketball League

Sports - There was little difference in the Ladies Spring Basketball League between McNab, Stewart, & Prince, and Frances/Lemke Co-operators during the first half, with MS&P holding a 14-12 edge. Younger legs, and more of them, allowed MS&P to increase the lead and take the contest 26-20. Janet Goulard and Sue Cotnam accounted for 18 of the Co-operators points. Mid-Town Flooring took advantage of a tired Co-operator team and posted a 38-15 victory. I went to a basketball game and a track meet broke out. Hillary MacMillan spearheaded the Reunion attack all game

long, by dribbling down the court at breakneck speed, after either one of her many steals or a Reunion rebound. The Reunions dominated the first half for a 20-9 lead over Mid-Town Flooring. Midtown pulled to within three, at 26-23, with five minutes remaining, but couldn’t keep up down the stretch and lost 36-25. Each team hit nine free throws. A change to the MacNeil (small) gym put Mid-Town Flooring and even more so, McNab, Stewart, and Prince, off their games. MS&P didn’t score a point in the first three quarters. They scored 16 points in the last quarter but it wasn’t enough to catch Midtown Flooring with 22 points. No

player in the game scored more than four points. The Bananas are a tall team and they play tall. They out-rebounded Mid-Town to extend a two-point half-time lead, to a final 32-19. Amy Felhaber led the victors with all of her nine points in the second half. Courtney Miller paced MidTown with eight. KL Plumbing/Signature Styles secured second place for Mid-Town by knocking off the Bananas 43-40. The Bananas held a marginal lead throughout the first half but were overtaken early in the second. The largest Styles lead was five points. Raili Quathamer had a game-high 13 points. Amy Felhaber and Jenna Barr hit for 12 and 11 respectively.

Sports - Thirty-nine Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club athletes travelled to St. Stephen, N.B. for Canada East, the ďŹ nal competition of the 2013-14 year which included 15 other teams from a multitude of provinces. All the wrestlers fought hard on the mats, made new friends and gained valuable experience at the May 10-11 event. Renfrew brought home 27 medals and three team titles, which included novice girls, kid girls and bantam girls. Finishing in second place overall was the kid boys team by a difference of seven points. Gold medal winners were

Lilyan Warren, Jolie Brisco, Emma Proctor, Emma Todd, Sean Tallon, Shanna Beauchamp and Alexis GagonKlentz. Silver medal winners were Spencer Hoffman, Jayden Gorr, Keria Dubeau, Chole Gibbons, Connor Scerba, Savanna Pinset, Virginie Clement, Paulena Oattes, Aleshia Ciphery and Cole McKee. Winning bronze were Seth Picard, Braeden Benn, Breanna O`Shea, Duncan Jamieson, Seth Eady, Ryan Theobald, Teegan Tabbert, Curtis Forrest, Riley Fabian and Ryerson Hewitt. Finishing just off the podium were Sam Buxton, Ariel Gibbons, Aaron Moore, Malachi Johnston, Landon Proulx, Graham Rheaume, Ethan Jou-

Owen Fabian was injured during his ďŹ rst match and was unable to ďŹ nish the competition, but showed great team spirit and sportsmanship. Two Renfrew athletes, Braeden Benn and Cole McKee, received recognition of sportsmanship during the tournament. The athletes would like to thank the coaches who attended Canada East with them and all the other coaches who assisted all year with the success at this tournament and their dedication through out the year.

rials are lighter and stronger than wood ever could be and allow a variance in design which can change the hitting properties of the racquet. Strings are also made of synthetic materials and can help generate huge amounts of spin and pace. Plus the sweet spot is larger as well. So it’s not the racquet’s fault. However, strings do need to be changed. Over time they lose elasticity, which means that more energy of the impact ends up in your arm. One also loses control as the ball spends less time on the racquet. But for a lot of

players they will never notice much difference. Still, most stringers recommend at least once per year for recreational players. Here are some signs that it’s time to replace your strings. If they’re old. If you can’t remember when you last had the racquet strung, that’s a pretty good sign. If they’re notched and wearing into each other. If they are frayed. After a column like this I should probably start a racquet re-stringing business. However, that would be a bad idea as I can barely tie my shoes.

The tour featured visits of the exhibits, viewing of a video on Renfrew’s Kraft Hockeyville entry a few years ago, and hands-on activities, with colouring and a word scramble. The museum, which opened in July 2013, pays homage to many hockey eras, including 1910 when the Renfrew Creamery Kings (dubbed the Renfrew Millionaires) were part of the National Hockey Association that later became the National Hockey League. During that first season of 1910, the Creamery Kings lost the two-game Stanley Cup final to the Montreal Wanderers. Paraphernalia on display at the museum includes skates that date back as far as 1858, a table hockey game, and clippings and equipment from various chapters of Renfrew-and-area hockey history. The guided tours of the museum are available to elementary and high school classes. The tours, said Miller, are an opportunity for teachers to do class assignments before and after visits to the museum.

A boating safety reminder News - Attention boaters. Before putting your boat on the water, check all life-saving, distress and safety equipment and make sure that it is in the boat and that it works, urge the OPP. An empty fire extinguisher won’t help put out a fire, nor will a flash light with dead batteries signal for help, say police. The OPP SAVE Team recommends boaters wear a life jacket or personal floatation device at all times. “Once you fall into the water it’s

too late (to put on the jacket),� the campaign says.� If operating a motorized boat after sunset and before sunrise, or in restricted visibility, navigation lights are required, remind the OPP. Police also reminds mariners that Criminal Code drinking and driving offences apply to boats. Details can be found in the Safe Boating Guide, a free publication issued by Transport Canada, or call the Boating Safety phone line at 1-800267-6687 or visit boatingsafety.gc.ca.

New musical comedy has fun with contemporary Ottawa Valley life Stone Fence Theatre

Lifestyle - What do elk, curling, hockey, child care and smartphones have in common? They’re all part of modern life in the Ottawa Valley today. And they are among the subjects of comic commentary in G’day, We’re from the Valley, EH!, an all-new musical comedy from Stone Fence Theatre. While most songs and stories of the Ottawa Valley look at its past, this show is different. With a cast of experienced entertainers who have worked together on many successful shows, this show looks at contemporary Valley life and has a lot of fun doing so. “People who don’t live here sometimes make assumptions about rural life that don’t hold up,” says the company’s producer, Ish Theilheimer, lead writer of the show. “When we started brainstorming about it, we came up with a lot of hilarious ideas and some things people felt strongly about.” Like many Stone Fence Theatre productions, the script was developed collaboratively with the crew. Director/actor Chantal Elie-Sernoskie, actor John Haslam and musician Peter Brown all did writing for the project, and all the actors contributed ideas. The cast includes Phil Hoffman f Pembroke, Maureen McCoy of

STONE FENCE THEATRE

Cast members in G’day, We’re from the Valley, EH! include Maureen McCoy, Ambrose Mullin, Chantal Elie-Sernoskie, Robin Pinkerton, Fran Pinkerton, Phil Hoffman, John Haslam, Ish Theilheimer and Camille McLean. Cobden, Camille McLean, Ambrose Mullin and Fran Pinkerton (Killaloe) and Robin Pinkerton (Eganville) as well as Elie-Sernoskie (Barrys Bay), Haslam (Killaloe) and Theilheimer (Golden Lake) . The show begins with the story of Killaloe’s Delmer Hartwig, who won $15 million in a lottery last fall but shocked big-city reporters by delaying on picking up his winnings until after a planned elk-hunting trip. “Delmer won a lot of hearts with what he did,” said Theilheimer, who wrote a song about him as soon as he read the news last fall. “People really identified with that. Most Valley people work hard but probably wouldn’t live here if they thought money was the most impor-

tant thing in the world.” The song Delmer’s Priorities is the first song in the show. From there, the show romps through scene after scene drawn from modern Valley life. We meet seasonally employed local contractors who have other responsibilities in winter such as watching their wives play hockey and doing child care. We see the bonds of matrimony strained at the local curling club. The company’s first rap number is a statement of Ottawa Valley pride called Don’t Get My Valley Up. G’day... has a smaller cast than many of the company’s past efforts. “We wanted to work with a group of proven performers who really work well together, and it’s great to work

with them all,” says Theilheimer. Peter Brown is one of the Ottawa Valley’s most sought keyboard players. Phil Hoffman, of Pembroke, is a recent broadcast arts graduate in his second year with the company. Maureen McCoy is a versatile actor, comedian and singer who has worked with the company since 2006. Camille McLean, in her third Stone Fence production, is the youngest cast member and a strong singer and actor. Comedian and storyteller Ambrose Mullin has been with the company since it was founded, as has John Haslam, who acts, sings and plays guitar in this show. Singer Fran Pinkerton is a perennial crowd favourite as is her son, actor/musician Robin Pinkerton,

who is back with the company after several years of child rearing with his growing family. Director Chantal Elie-Sernoskie is back on stage, in her fourth year with the company. Theilheimer plays fiddle and bass guitar and is musical director. The show will be performed in more Ottawa Valley locations than Stone Fence Theatre has ever visited before, including its main stage base in Eganville, as well as Rankin, Barry’s Bay, Killaloe, Pembroke, Cobden and Renfrew. The company is purchasing new sound and lighting equipment this year that will enable it to travel more easily and provide better sound quality and viewing in all the locations it visits. A new feature this year at Stone Fence Theatre is that a different young performer or group of young performers will entertain before each show. The Stone Fence Theatre website includes a schedule of young performers so customers can choose which young artists they want to see and hear. A big part of the company’s popularity – it’s now in it’s 12th year – is that most performances feature “supper theatre,” prepared Ottawa Valley-style. Roast Ontario beef with home-made salads and baking is the feature again this year, with options available for special dietary needs.

Masons at Work support Hospice Renfrew

Highway 132 closed

Hospice Renfrew executive director Diane Caughey, right, accepts a $1,000 donation from Masons at Work members, Barry Sansom and Andrew Dick. This donation is one of five yearly donations to Hospice Renfrew. “Masons at Work is a fund of the Freemasons of Renfrew who, through a common dedication and core principles, help our community,” said a new release from Hospice Renfrew.

Construction crews work on a culvert on Highway 132 just outside of Renfrew May 9. The culvert gave way May 6. The road was closed from Riverview Drive to Opeongo Road in Admaston-Bromley Township. However, it was reopened for regular traffic by May 10.

NATURE

Connected to your community

The colours are absolutely brilliant in the spring

THE COLOUR CONTINUES

Baltimore orioles, rose-breasted grosbeaks and cardinals add a great deal of colour to any property. Orange and black for the male orioles, pale yellow and black for the females, bright red for the male cardinals tan with red trim for the females, black, white and a bright rose coloured chest patch for the male grosbeak, the female looks like a large sparrow with a heavy bill. Tom Hanson had male and female rose-breasted grosbeaks, male and female Baltimore orioles and a male cardinal on his property. All three of these birds are exceptional singers. Ruby and Jim Vieland at Cobden saw orioles and rosebreasted grosbeaks at their home last Wednesday.

Scene from the Hawk’s Eye lene Hanneman heard and saw a mockingbird this week. It is one of our most prolific singers. The male can sing for hours, mostly in threes, without any pauses and the notes are very seldom repeated. He can include over 150 song types in his repertoire. The brown thrasher does most of his singing in twos and he too can sing for hours without a pause. Listen for him giving song from a high perch from three or four places in his territory. The gray catbird is also a member of the family but does his singing in single note phrases after which he gives a non-musical meow thus the name catbird. He has been known to incorporate the calls of at least 44 other birds in his perfor-

mance. After they begin to nest the singing slows or stops and the birds are difficult to find. HUMMINGBIRDS

Many birders have been recording the return dates of ruby-throated hummingbirds. Ken McNairn has been keeping records for the last 10 years and he has noticed the first hummingbird on the following dates: May 13, 2005; May 8, 2006; May 9, 2007; May 9, 2008; May 5, 2009; May 15, 2010; May 7, 2011; May 5, 2012; May 8, 2013 and May 9, 2014.

YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKERS

Carol McCuaig saw the return of a pair of yellow-bellied sapsuckers to her property this week. She likes the black, white and red of the male and his bright song. However, she is not too happy with the havoc they wreck on her flowering crab apple trees. If you hear a bird drumming on your television dish, fence wire or any other metal surface it will be a sapsucker.

HUMMINGBIRDS ARRIVE

Ruby-throated humming birds arrived over the entire area last weekend. Our request for information had a great response and we thank all who sent us arrival dates. Hummers do not fly in a flock; they are individuals and take independent routes. Their trip from Mexico takes many weeks, depending on the availability of food, especially flower blossoms. There were a few hum-

Lifestyle - Two of our most striking birds are the indigo bunting and the scarlet tanager. Their names give the colour. Bonnie and Paul Ouellete and Betty Ann Van Weston and Doug Kidder saw two male indigo buntings in Horton Township. Kim and Carey Finan and their nine-year-old daughter Jenna-Lee saw the tanager on Whalen Road. The sharp eyes of Jenna-Lee saw the bird first. The indigo bunting is a member of the finch family. The colour of the male and his two-note song, each pair at a different pitch, are the best field marks. In silhouette he appears black against the sun. The female is uniformly brown and is almost never seen. She will scurry away from her nest through the underbrush rather than fly making it almost impossible to locate either her or the nest. The scarlet tanager has been dubbed the black-winged redbird. The brilliant scarlet and black wings are the best field marks of the male. His song sounds like a robin with a cold. The female is olive green above and pale olive below.

For the next few weeks we would recommend you use one part sugar with two parts water to make your sugar water. As the temperatures rise, less sugar is required because the birds will be collecting natural nectar. BALTIMORE ORIOLES

Ron and Brenda Golden put their oriole feeder out and within a few

minutes the orioles were satisfying their sweet tooth. Terry Cunningham saw a male oriole near his home in Renfrew. Mary and Dwaine Turcotte had orioles coming to the area near the creek on their property. The birds may nest in the tall hardwood trees. Orioles can be attracted to your yard if you provide them with nectar in an oriole feeder. Oranges cut in half are a very good attraction as well. To keep the squirrels from taking the fruit away it is a good idea to impale the orange halves on nails that have been driven through a board. Secure the board to a post, (nails out), and place the fruit on the nails.

If a flicker should manage to get a site the starlings gang up on it and drive the flicker away.

NORTHERN FLICKER

ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAKS

Bob and Susan English had a northern flicker visit their yard on May 9. This large member of the woodpecker family has difficulty finding nesting holes because the European starlings arrive early or stay all winter and are able to capture all available sites.

The rose-breasted grosbeaks arrived with the hummingbirds. Bob and Susan English had both grosbeaks and hummingbirds arrive at their home on the same day, as did Kay O’Gorman. Liz Pilatzki had the grosbeaks at her feeder. Monique Stubinski had both gros-

WHIP-POOR-WILL

Donald and Kim McIntyre heard a whip-poor-will calling near his home on McMahon Road May 10. If we get warm weather and the insects become available to the birds we should be hearing more of these night singers. The female lays her eggs so they hatch during the full moon when the birds can see to find moths to feed their young. Please let us know when and where you hear whip-poorwills.

beaks and cardinals at her feeders May 8. Carol McCuaig had a rainbow of colour with hummingbirds, grosbeaks, goldfinches and red-breasted nuthatches at her feeders. The arrival of the rose-breasted grosbeaks will create some confusion if you have cardinals and orioles as well as the grosbeaks singing. Their songs are loud, clear whistles and although some of the notes and phrases are different many are very much alike and a good ear is needed to tell them apart. WOOD WARBLERS

The next few weeks will see the arrival of many of our wood warblers – butterflies of the bird world as Roger Tory Peterson called them – and small flycatchers. Take some time to watch for the spring colour show of birds. Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, RR 5, Renfrew, Ont., K7V 3Z8, phone 613-4322738 or email jamesh@nrtco.net

The RCI Carpentry team of Cody Carson, Mike Wales, Alex Bechamp and Justin Visinski captured second place at the Pembroke Memorial Centre while Connor Kewley finished third in the tire changing event. Options is a skilled trades competition, trades fair and career fair for students. Nearly 300 students competed in disciplines such as small engine, welding, team carpentry, cabinets, culinary, hairstyling, nail art, pit stop challenge, desktop publishing, digital photography and more.

The students went head to head in their disciplines showing off the skills they have learned as part of the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP). OYAP is a secondary school co-operative education program that allows students to participate in an apprenticeship occupation, while working towards their Ontario Secondary School Diploma. In its 12th year, Options has grown to become one of the largest skilled trades career fairs in Eastern Ontario. More than 3000 people attended the event, along with the hundreds of competing students and their parents. Students who attended were able to access information on apprenticeship training and job opportunities in and around the Ottawa Valley.

TALKING TO KIDS ABOUT ALCOHOL

JOHN L. FORGIE & SONS LTD.

teenagers. When discussing alcohol with a child, parents should make it a conversation and avoid lecturing. Kids will be more comfortable during a conversation and are more likely to open up if they are comfortable. Talk to kids about their views on alcohol. The aforementioned statistics indicate that kids, even those who have never tried alcohol, are likely aware of it. Ask kids what they know about alcohol and how they feel about drinking and why they think kids drink before they’re legally allowed to do so. Listen closely, and be careful not to interrupt. Doing so will help kids recognize that their parents value and respect their opinions. Share some facts about alcohol. Misinformation reigns with respect to alcohol, and adults and children alike are often prone to believing certain myths. However, when discussing alcohol with kids, parents should share some facts to help dispel some of the more common misconceptions about alcohol, including: - Beer and wine is just as dangerous as hard liquor. A 12-ounce beer and a 5-ounce glass of wine has the same amount of alcohol as a 1.5-

ounce shot of liquor. Kids might feel they will be fine if they just consume beer and not hard liquor, but beer is no less safe than liquor, especially when consumed in mass quantities. - It takes hours for a single drink to leave a person’s system. Common “remedies” like a cold shower or a cup of coffee do not force alcohol out of the body. On average, it takes 2 to 3 hours for a single drink to exit a person’s system. - Alcoholism isn’t just for adults. Kids often feel alcoholism can only develop in adults. However, kids can develop serious alcohol problems as well, and the earlier a person starts drinking alcohol the more likely he or she is to develop such a problem. Discuss false portrayals of alcohol consumption. Many kids start drinking alcohol because they feel it’s “cool” to do so. Parents can dispel this popular myth by pointing out the falsehoods about alcohol promoted on television, in the movies and in advertisements. When watching a movie or television show with kids where drinking is portrayed, point out certain falsehoods that are commonly portrayed. For example, explain to

kids that characters in the movies or on television are often portrayed as having a great time while drinking, when in reality alcohol often elicits feelings of sadness or anger. Explain the longterm effects of drinking alcohol while young. Alcohol affects a young brain in different ways than it does an adult one. In an effort to explain to kids why they should wait until they are legally allowed to drink, explain that drinking while the brain is still maturing can lead to long-lasting intellectual effects, which can impact how well kids are able to do in school and beyond.

One of the most important discussions parents can have with their children is a discussion about alcohol. Parents are often wary of such a discussion, fearing if they come on too strongly when discussing the dangers of alcohol that their children might be too curious about alcohol to avoid it. As difficult a discussion as it can be, parents must have an open dialogue with their kids about alcohol, and the sooner the better. The Century Council, a not-for-profit organization devoted to fighting drunk driving and underage drinking, notes that 39 percent of eighth graders, 58 percent of tenth graders, and 72 percent of twelfth graders have reported trying alcohol at least once. To parents, such figures only highlight the importance of talking to kids about the dangers of alcohol, and why it’s best to avoid alcohol until it’s legal to drink it. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism offers the following tips to parents who are ready to discuss alcohol with their child. Make it a conversation. Adults don’t like to be lectured to and neither do kids, especially

Parents can point certain facts and some fiction when discussing alcohol with their children.
