Attempted child abduction never happened No abduction, OPP concludes Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Alarm bells were sounded last Monday, May 13, after the OPP received details about an attempted abduction of a 10-year-old student walking near Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School.

The OPP was asking for assistance to identify a man said to be in his 20s.

But the OPP issued a news release May 15 that says its investigation shows the attempted abduction never occurred.

“The incident did not occur. There is no guy (who attempted a kidnapping),” said Const. Janice Sawbridge, the community services officer for the Renfrewdetachmetn of the OPP. She said unsubstantiated reports do happen from time to time.

“Itʼs rare, but they occasionally happen, whether itʼs someone reporting they were assaulted (and werenʼt) or something was stolen (and wasnʼt),” said Const. Sawbridge.

“Itʼs important the public knows we take reports seriously, and there is the potential for charges in some of these incidents.”

In this case, no charges will be laid, said Sawbridge.

The initial report indicated a male, near Wendyʼs Restaurant at the north end of town, attempted to lure a child with candy and to grab her.

The report also said she kicked the alleged perpetrator and ran away.

Meanwhile, the OPP says it is always good for parents to review personal safety practices with their children.

The OPPʼs website of www.opp.ca contains a number of useful resources that families can use to facilitate that discussion.

SUMMER HOURS

Council is ready to accept a four-day work week for the road department from June to September. It will consist of 10-hour days Monday to Thursday instead of the conventional eight-hour, fiveday work week.

At the end of the summer, public works manager Jamie Doering will report to council on whether or not the summer hours were a success and if they should be maintained in the future.

There will be fuel savings on not having to drive to the job site five days a week versus

four. There will also be a 20 per cent less mobilization and demobilization cost which boosts productively, Doering said. It will also allow employees more family time.

“Can we try it for this summer and then bring it back next year,” asked Coun. Bruno Kierczak.

Coun. Glenda McKayʼs only concern was there were no hard numbers to assure the summer schedule actually saves the township money. “Iʼm not pushing this any more,” she added.

“Jamie said he wants to review it, even after a couple of months in,” Coun. Brian Hunt said.

The four-day work week will be rubberstamped May 28.

NOISE EXEMPTION REQUEST

Calabogie Motorsports Park will host the 2013 Ted Powell Memorial Race Aug. 23 to 25, and the International Motor Sport Association (IMSA) GT3 Challenge Cup Canada event Sept. 5 to 8.

CMP has hosted the Powell Memorial five times, and the Challenge Cup each of the past two years.

Calabogie Motorsports has requested an exemption from its normal operation noise restriction for each of these events.

They donʼt believe either will result in a noise level of 65 dBA or higher.

Council will consider its approval May 28.

Greater Madawaska Mayor Peter Emon is pleased with the success of the townshipʼs clear bag program, “Part of the major component of it was that we were using it as education where people could see the materials that they were putting in the bag and then throwing them into our waste disposal stream.”

The township has reduced items that are being disposed of by about 13 per cent.

“Weʼve saved about $13,000 in tipping fees and travel fees taking it down to the processor,” the mayor said.

“Weʼve increased the volume of material thatʼs going to the recycling sector so itʼs been a success because those are the things that we wanted.”

The clear bag program was introduced Nov 3, 2012, with the grace period ending May 3, 2013.

Transfer station attendants estimated a 75 per cent participation rate at Griffith, and 65 per cent at both Mount St. Patrick and Norway Lake.

In September of last year, ratepayers were offered three vouchers, one for $5 off any blue box, $5 off a kitchen compost container and $20 off any compost container redeemable at Calabogie Home Hardware or Griffith Building Supply, Mayor Emon noted.

There were 228 vouchers given out

with a third of them redeemed.

A flyer will be mailed out, and handed out at the transfer stations. It will include an updated Ottawa Valley Waste Recovery Centre (OVWRC) list, a reminder of the clear bag and voucher programs and a reminder not to use plastic bags in the compost bin.

It will also have a thank-you to all who are making these programs a success, Mayor Emon said.

Multi-purpose recycling containers will be purchased and installed beside the waste containers at two or three township properties.

Bins will be purchased and monitored for a year.

If they are being used, they will be installed at all township properties over an 18-month period.

The Renfrew Fire Department responded to a call in the early morning hours of May 15.

At 1:20 a.m., 10 full-time and 11 volunteer firefighters arrived at the home at 39 Haramis Drive.

Firefighters faced flames and heavy smoke coming from the back of the home.

They quickly brought the blaze under control and remained at the scene

until 4 a.m.

Working smoke alarms are credited with saving the life of the lone occupant, Renfrew Fire Chief Guy Longtin said.

Renfrew County Paramedics and OPP also attended the scene as a support unit for the firefighters.

There were no injuries resulting from the fire.

The home suffered heavy smoke and fire damage, Chief Longtin added. The cause was still under investigation.

Planning committee to decide future of Farrell’s Landing Road next month Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND

Debbie Grantham of Farrell’s Landing Road addresses the planning committee of Horton council May 14.

She gave her reasons for wanting to purchase or lease the Farrell’s Landing Road right-of-way that represents the start of the 19th-century settlement road that became known as Opeongo Line. From left, in the front row, are Mae Craig, lawyer John Cook, Grantham and Dave Brown. some of the history of the site. She also said the area should be fenced in, with a gate and an information plaque. That plaque, she added, could be provided by Heritage Renfrew.

The other delegations were Grantham, who read her two-page letter in support of purchasing the property, and Bob Johnston, former Horton mayor and local resident who wants the right-of-way to remain in township hands.

In the company of her lawyer (John Cook), Grantham read her heavily-documented two page letter

on her reasons for wanting to purchase the right-of-way.

Grantham noted that the right-ofway was a forced road travelled by foot or ox carts prior to the 1890s. “When the railway came in in the 1890s, the forced road was no longer used. As such, there has been no public travel on this strip of land for more than 120 years ‌ rather, our family has used and maintained the 20-foot trip of land for more than half the number of years since that time.â€?

With that help of photos she presented at an earlier planning com-

mittee meeting, she noted that the right-of-way was recently littered by garbage and damaged by a local residentĘźs four-wheeler “Opening this up to full access by the public will result in additional costs to the township for maintenance and liability,â€? said Grantham. “Additionally, there are only four parking spots available to members of the public at the (historic) plaque on River Road (less than 200 metres away) ‌ Realistically speaking, the property is only 20 feet in width, a third of which is under a large hedge

History colours the debate over what to do with Horton TownshipĘźs right-of-way on FarrellĘźs Landing Road.

One side wants to purchase or lease the land. The other side wants Horton TownshipĘźs right-of-way on that road to be open for public access.

Both sides agree thereĘźs signiďŹ cant historical value to the property, since itĘźs where many 19th-century settlers took their ďŹ rst steps into Renfrew County. And both sides say an appropriate historic plaque should be erected on-site.

Then thereĘźs a line drawn in the sand, as HortonĘźs planning committee is now faced with recommending that the right-of-way either be: 1. sold or leased to the adjacent land owners at 26 FarrellĘźs Landing Road, Debbie Grantham and husband Dino Di Pietro, or 2. kept as a public right-of-way owned by Horton Township and promoted as an historic site with the help of appropriate fencing.

Three delegations came before the May 14 meeting, while three additional documents were provided to committee members, including one by committee member Mae Craig.

Her letter, which stressed the importance of maintaining the historic presence of the site, included reference to bus tours to the site led by Dave Lorente, a Heritage Renfrew lifetime member, years ago.

People in the audience include Lorente, as well as GranthamĘźs mother, Glenyce Renauld, who used to own the property at 26 FarrellĘźs Landing Rd., and GranthamĘźs aunt, Yvonne Grice.

Craig noted the road is named after Edward Farrell who owned a hotel near the steamboat wharf that was torn down many decades ago. She also quoted Lorente as saying itʟs tragic the potential sale of the right-of-way coincides with the 200th anniversary of the wars of 1812-14, and recognition that the Colonization roads — Opeongo, Addington, Peterson and Hastings — built in the post-war years.

Her three-page submission ended this way: “I need to know that FarrellĘźs Landing Road will be preserved for very signiďŹ cant historic reasons. I feel that it would be a historic tragedy to sell this road allowance.â€?

Craig also read the presentation by Heritage Renfrew president Darlene Mask, who couldnĘźt attend meeting because of a personal matter. MaskĘźs document spoke about the historic signiďŹ cance of the property. “We believe that FarrellĘźs Landing historical site needs more exposure, and (to be) cleaned up, not part of private property, to be buried and forgotten,â€? said MaskĘźs document that traced

and includes a drainage ditch. Not large enough for boat launching, picnicking and public swimming.

However, I understand the township currently has one acre of land nearby that could be developed into a waterfront park for use by residents.�

In closing, Grantham said her family members have “been custodians of this property for close to 70 years, will continue to maintain and treat the property with respect, and will agree to erect a sign commemorating the history.�

JohnstonĘźs subsequent presentation documented some of the roadĘźs history, including reference to how the township has owned the land since 1859.

Calling the landing an integral part of local history, Johnston said, “If this property is sold or leased, it will erase the historical signiďŹ cance of FarrellĘźs Landing ‌ I believe this landing should be fenced or barricaded in such a way that will allow for interested tourists ‌ to access the actual landing, but only for pedestrians (not for boat launching, public swimming, etcetera).â€?

Following all delegations, planning chair Bob Kingsbury asked all committee members to absorb the documentation and come prepared to make a recommendation at its Tuesday, June 11 meeting.

seismic sensitivity. Renfrew has long been identified as part of a broad earthquake zone.

According to the Natural Resources Canada website, the 5.0 magnitude earthquake occurred 25 km. north northwest of Shawville, Que. The last earthquake of that magnitude was three years ago when there was a 5.2 magnitude earthquake in Buckingham, Que. - with files by Steve Newman and Lucy Hass

Asselin said Friday morning.

Thanks to forward thinking, Renfrew council invested additional funds for an upgrade to provide seismic protection when the town built its new wastewater treatment plant.

It was felt the cost would be far less than the potential cost of repairing any structural damage to the facility caused by an earthquake.

A 5.0 magnitude earthquake rumbled through Renfrew around 9:50 a.m. last Friday. A lengthy aftershock was also felt across the region.

“A car nearly fell off my hoist,” said Dave Murphy of Murphyʼs Auto.

Damage to underground infrastructure is always a concern but there were no local reports of such.

While the search for acting recreation director Barclay Mayhewʼs successor continues, the town has extended Mayhewʼs part-time contract.

Mayhew, who grew up in Renfrew, was seconded from his current home in Kingston to become the part-time acting director in November 2011.

His contract expired May 7, 2013, but has been extended for up to six months, or until as long as mid-November 2013.

Itʼs expected the length of his new contract will overlap with the new full-time recreation directorʼs first few weeks on the job.

The position, prior to Mayhewʼs appointment, was full-time.

STOMPIN’ TOM STREET GAME

Renfrew council has met Community Living Renfrew County Southʼs request to declare Tuesday, May 28 as Stompinʼ Tom Connors Day in Renfrew.

May is Community Living Month.

With the National Hockey League playoffs underway, the public school boardʼs literacy basic skills class (that operates out of Community Living in Renfrew) was looking for one of its favourite musicians to be remembered, along with his legendary song, The Good Old Hockey

Game. The Canadian music icon died March 6, 2013.

Stompinʼ Tom Connors Day in Renfrew will include a street hockey game on the closed-off section of Railway Avenue, in front of the public library.

Members of the public are invited to come out and play. Game time is 10 to 11:30 a.m.

There will also be a Stompinʼ Tom banner for visitors to sign.

COMMITTEE APPOINTMENT

Renfrew resident Jolan Horvath has been appointed to the townʼs planning advisory committee. She replaces Chantal Lavigne who resigned from the committee in March.

Horvath, who works as the CEO and paralegal of Avalon Legal Services Professional Corporation, has been a member of the committee of adjustment for about two years.

Coun. Jim Miller chairs the planning advisory committee, whose other members are Coun.

Andrew Evans, and two other members of the public, Jeanette Songolo and John Stiefelmeyer.

The committee deals with such issues as subdivision agreements, zoning bylaw amendments, official plans and site plans.

The term lasts until the next municipal election, in October 2014. Members of the public can reapply to remain on the committee, while councillors are named to the different committees by the mayor.

In last weekʼs coverage of the 2013 Renfrew budget, The Mercury incorrectly said the townʼs portion of the total tax levy was $12.4 million. That was actually the total levy for municipal, county and school taxes.

The townʼs portion of the total levy was

55.8 per cent, or $6.7 million. The remainder of the levy consists of 22.4 per cent for county taxes and 21.8 per cent for education taxes.

Also, The Mercury reported the levy increase for the townʼs portion of the tax bill as 3.35 per cent. It was actually 3.25 per cent.

EDITORIAL

Keep our children safe Sunny skies and warm weather fill hearts with a sense of adventure and exploration, but sometimes safety is overlooked in the mix of merriment and mellowness.

The first week of May was National Summer Safety Week, when the Canada Safety Council encouraged parents, guardians and educators to help their children avoid injuries.

“Be proactive and talk about injury prevention with your kids to help them develop healthy attitudes,” the safety council advised.

“One of the best and most practical ways of doing this is to set a good example and make safety part of all your summer plans.”

Injury is the leading cause of death for Canadian children, and about 390 children ages 14 and under die every year and another 25,500 are hospitalized, according to a 10-year study

by Safe Kids Canada.

To help you stay safe while staying active, the Canada Health Council offers the following tips: • A child should never be left alone in a vehicle, not even for a few minutes. If you notice a vehicle where a child has been left unattended, do not hesitate to call 9-1-1.

• Accompany children to supervise their cycling excursions whenever possible, especially when they are first learning road rules.

Children must understand that responsibilities

come with the freedom of peddling away on two wheels. These include not riding on busy streets; not riding at night; stopping for all stop signs; using arm signals to alert other road users when turning or slowing or stopping; riding on the right with traffic; always wearing an approved helmet when cycling; and always wearing a bike helmet properly.

• Weak swimmers should always wear a lifejacket or PFD. Supervise children at all times while they are playing in water.

• If children are allowed to use a trampoline, adult supervision is nonnegotiable. An adult should inspect the trampoline before each use.

Follow these rules: one person at a time; no flips or somersaults; and no jumping onto or off of the trampoline. Children younger than six should not use a trampoline.

• Apply sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or more before all outdoor activities such as swimming, skateboarding, biking or even walking. Remember to apply sunscreen at least 20 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply often, as perspiration will reduce the effectiveness. Keep children under the age of one out of the sun.

For generations, children have equated staying safe with Elmer the Safety Elephant.

Parents are encouraged to visit the Elmer the Safety Elephant website at www.elmer.ca for new child-safety topics each month.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

LAST WEEK’S QUESTION

Proximity to Chalk River creates risk To the editor: Recently in the media we learned that in February 2013 there had been a close call with the nuclear reactor at Chalk River.

An operator, by mistake, began closing the valves of the main water pumping system that cools the reactorʼs core.

The incident was classed as “significance level one” by AECL, and was to be reviewed by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission on May 15, 2013.

Fortunately, a senior plant official, who happened to be in the control room, noticed the error and immediately reacted to re-open the system, so a severe problem – ranging from reactor core damage to the worst-case scenario, a meltdown – did not occur.

We are very close to Chalk River.

A worst-case scenario would have unthinkable consequences for all of us in Renfrew County, the Pontiac, and beyond, as happened in Chernobyl in Russia and in Japan.

Any appreciable radioactive emissions would extremely likely lead to seveer human health problems, and contamination of crops and grazing land would severely affect the food chain.

There are other sources of medical isotopes now. There have been safety issues with that overe-50-year-old reactor before. This was one due to human error.

Recently the federal government announced the restructuring of AECL management with a yet-unnamed private sector partner.

A wise person has stated that control

Is enough being done to support pedestrian safety in town?

of a situation with such strong safety issues is much better left in the public domain.

Please, would your readers be so kind as to express their concern over this mishap, if they feel that way?

Because next time we may not be so lucky.

Please write or email: Rt. Hon Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada, House of Commons, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0A6, s.harperpm@pm.gc.ca and/or Cheryl Gallant, MP, RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke, House of Commons, Ottawa, Ont., K1A 0A6, Cherylgallant@parl.gc.ca.

KI Pembroke Plant of the Year – again In an announcement made at KI Corporate headquarters, the Pembroke plant was named Plant of the Year.

This marks the second year in a row the employees at KI Pembroke have received the award from its owner Dick Resch.

Winning this award in 2011 was an exciting time for our employees, but winning it again for 2012 has shown the dedication and pride our employees have for KI. “Itʼs a team effort that makes achievements like this possible,” boasted KI Pembrokeʼs general manager Dan Mellen.

Reflecting on his five years with KI, Mellen comments on how the employees have learned to quickly adapt to change and to overcome obstacles so that we can stay ahead of our competition.

“The average length of service at KI Pembroke is 15 years, which tells me that the dedication and talent we have at our facility is second to none,” added Mellen.

KI has five other facilities competing for this award.

Each year the bar is raised higher and with it brings new challenges.

The plants are scored on quality, safety, on time shipping and financial health. The KI Pembroke plant is already off to a good start on the 2013 plant of the year award by also winning the best plant of the first quarter of 2013.

Mellen expressed the pride he has in all KI Pembroke employees.

“I am confident that we will continue to be a world class manufacturer of Steel Office Filing and Storage solutions,” he added For over 20 years KI Pembroke has provided fulltime employment for its employees and their families.

KI is also well known as a strong supporter of our community and participates in a number of local events.

LUCY HASS/METROLAND

Vennacher resident Stephanie Bergsma has published her first book.

Cooking for Life lucy.hass@metroland.com

Stephanie Bergsma has always been interested in cookbooks and cooking.

That interest, coupled with health struggles, has led her down a path where she has achieved to goals: published her own first cookbook and found health.

After 10 full years of gluten-free living, Bergsma is sharing her journey not only through her book, but through mentoring with classes and workshops in Pembroke.

Bergsma grew up in Alice, just outside Pembroke, then lived in Beachburg before moving to her current off-line home in Vennacher.

Both she and her husband have benefitted from changing their eating habits.

There is expectation in the title of the soft-cover, self-published book: Cooking for Life – A Total Vegetarian, Wheat-Free and Gluten-Free Cooking Experience, Volume 1.

There is an apparent hope that further volumes will follow.

For now, this book features an more than 90 recipes, plus cooking tips and techniques.

“I know that gluten allergies are on the rise and that many individuals in Renfrew County suffer from various food allergies including gluten, dairy and eggs,” says Bergsma.

Being one of those people, she feels she has a role to play in helping others to follow the healthy lifestyle she found.

Bergsma is offering a healthy lifestyle club and a monthly supper club where people can gather to cook and test new recipes with others.

The sessions are held at the Seventh Daily Adventist Church in Pembroke.

“People are getting back into the kitchen now, which is good,” she said.

Bergsma notes there are various definitions of gluten-free and vegetarian eating styles, and she explains them in the book.

She also advises people to speak

with their doctor before pursuing any change in diet.

Bergsma’s book is available for $20 at Kasha Natural Foods in Pembroke and Wheatless Wonders in downtown Renfrew.

She noted that in the first two weeks that the book has been available, relying solely on word of mouth and Facebook, Bergsma had more than 50 books spoken for.

“So I know there is a large need for this type of cookbook,” she said.

Not that there aren’t other cookbooks on the market. But she stresses that she has focussed on easy recipes using inexpensive products that are readily available. She even includes a shopping list to stock your cupboards for the transition to a more healthy lifestyle.

Following is one of her favourite recipes, No Bake Carob Oatmeal Cookies. They are based on the popular oatmeal chocolate drop cookies commonly known as ‘haystacks.’

NO-BAKE CAROB OATMEAL COOKIES • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup • 1/3 cup honey • 1/4 coconut oil, scented or unscented • 5 tablespoons carob powder • 1/2 tsp. cardamom • 1/2 tsp. coriander • 1/2 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter of your choice) • 1 cup wheat-free rolled oats • 1 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract 1. In a saucepan over medium heat and using a whisk, combine maple syrup, coconut oil, carob powder, coriander and cardamom. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.

2. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter, oats, coconut and vanilla until well blended.

3. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet and chill to set, about 30 minutes.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

NEWS

Horton briefs Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Six building permits in April, with a construction value of $1,212,000, have quickly improved this yearʼs level of construction in Horton Township.

The permits included two for garages or storage and one a new residence, for a total of 4,848 square feet.

“Itʼs good to see building going on,” said Coun. Glen Campbell. “Itʼs quiet out there.”

Aprilʼs figures bring Horton construction starts or renovations to $1,900,000. For the first four months of each year, that compares to $1,589,000 in 2012 and $1,941,000 in 2013.

By yearʼs end in 2012 and 2013, total construction activity was valued at more than $6 million.

In recent years, the busiest construction months in Horton have been June and August.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT

Council has approved bylaw 2012-23, which facilitates payment for Hortonʼs community emergency management co-ordinator and alternate co-ordinator.

Steve Osipenko succeeded Jim Ferguson, who was the co-ordinator from 1992 until 2010. Amber Hultink came on more recently as the alter-

Connected to your community

nate co-ordinator.

Osipenkoʼs duties include maintenance of the townshipʼs emergency plan and emergency operations centre, co-ordination of all community control group meetings, and maintenance of records and logs for all emergencies and actions taken by community control group members.

The two used to be paid on a permeeting average, but after scrutinizing costs over the past few years, it was determined Horton will now pay out annual comparable salaries.

The co-ordinator and assistant co-ordinator will received respective salaries of $4,000 and $1,000.

Osipenko will also receive $140 per day if there is a second emergency during the year. Both will also be eligible to receive gas mileage.

FINANCIAL MATTERS

Several acts of vandalism the evening of the Feb. 23 Horton Winter Carnival included two broken windows at the Horton Community Centre entrance.

The bill for window replacement was $819.25.

The 2013 tax bill for Horton residents should be known Tuesday, June 4, when council is expected to pass the budget.

But first public meetings on budget-related matters will take place Tuesday, May 21 at the municipal hall. The 6:30 p.m. meeting is on proposed development charges, while the draft budget will be presented at 7:30 p.m.

Campaign on to determine worst roads Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Once again looking to put power into the hands of road users, the ever-popular Ontarioʼs Worst Roads campaign is on in an effort to determine the roads, highways and bridges across the province that are in dire need of repair.

Since 2003, CAA North & East Ontario (CAANEO) is again a part of the campaign. It launched May 1, 2013 with the theme Help Pave the Way to Safer Roads.

“This campaign provides an opportunity for the public to inform their elected officials that they are concerned about the substandard infrastructure that plagues their respective communities,” said Korey Kennedy, Manager of Public & Government Affairs for CAANEO. “We are encouraging motorists, cyclists and pedestrians alike to cast

their ballot and have a say in order to help raise awareness regarding Ontarioʼs deteriorating roads,” Kennedy said.

“Historically, Renfrew has not made the top 10 list,” Kennedy said, adding that perhaps a road in the region could make its inaugural appearance.

“This campaign had proven to be extremely successful, recognizing the fact that over 90 per cent of the roads nominated to the annual list have been repaired, or scheduled to be repaired. Very few campaigns can actually boast such a high success rate.”

This year had a record number of votes being cast, about 10,000.

This is the second year that the campaign has been conducted in the spring time. It had previously been done in the fall.

“Itʼs no secret that after the winter, roads are in their worst state,”

Kennedy said. “Individuals can cast a vote for a road, bridge or highway they deem to be Ontarioʼs worst.”

It not only includes the physical state of the roadway, but people can also cast a ballot based on a local stretch or intersection has seen a fair number of accidents, injuries or fatalities.

These roads can also include pedestrian and cycling safety, congestion, improper signage, and poor visibility.

“What I encourage residents in and around Renfrew to do, is to band together and try to cast enough votes in order for that stretch of roadway that is in need of repair to make the top 10,” Kennedy said.

Road users can have their say by casting a ballot online until May 31 at www.worstroads.ca, where individuals can view in real-time the roads that are receiving the most votes across the province.

Beer Store to hold charity bottle drive May 25-26 Patricia Leboeuf pleboeuf@metroland.com

Donʼt know what to do with the endless piles of beer bottles following May long weekend?

Bring them back to the Beer Store and donate the funds to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada.

In a partnership with the United Food and Commercial Workers Lo-

cal 12R2, all the Beer Stores across Ontario, including Arnpriorʼs, are holding the Returns for Leukemia bottle drive on May 25 and 26.

Volunteers will ask customers to donate part or all of their empty bottles to help the organization. All donated funds stay in Canada and go towards research and patient care.

This yearʼs goal is to raise a million dollars, but anything over that

would be greatly welcome. “We just think thatʼs a great number,” said Moroz.

“Weʼve been on such a great roll that we keep beating last yearʼs numbers. We just hold a million dollars as a target and if we beat it, thatʼs great.”

More information on the bottle drive or how to become a volunteer can be found at bottledrive.ca.

Heartworm’s happening

Join Friends for Life walk-athon May 26

Sarah Wilson

Ontario SPCA

Heartworm disease is a potentially fatal condition for dogs caused by parasitic worms that invade the heart and surrounding vessels of the lungs.

Your pet can contract heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) from infected mosquitoes carrying this parasite.

Immature heartworms are transferred through the saliva of infected mosquitoes when a dog is bitten.

These worms mature as they migrate through tissues and vessels as they seek the desired location to survive; the large vessels of the lungs and heart. If left untreated, these parasites have been recorded to grow to lengths of 15-30 centimetres! Once these worms begin to reproduce, offspring (microfilariae) circulate within blood vessels to infect feeding mosquitoes and in turn spread heartworm to other pets.

Most common signs of infection are mild to persistent coughing and fatigue after moderate exercise.

Generally these symptoms are not detected until this disease has progressed over time, at which point irreversible damage has taken place. Due to this, veterinary clinics have established heartworm testing protocols for detection and protection against heartworm. A simple blood sample is all that is needed from your pet to test for heartworm and many veterinary services perform this test in their clinic.

Cases of heartworm positive dogs have greatly increased in the Ontario region over the last two years.

Nearly all identified cases reported, were a result of not being on preventative medication that work by destroying immature heartworms transferred by mosquitoes.

There are many topical and oral preventive choices available today as monthly treatments and many products now serve as additional protection for your pet against fleas, ticks, and other parasites.

For Renfrew and surrounding areas heartworm season is during the months of June until November and recommended protection is advised. A multiple injection treatment is available for heartworm-positive dogs that work to kill adult worms followed by treatments to destroy immature worms within the blood stream. Owners should be aware that these treatments can be extremely costly and do not come without risk to your pet, so it is much more effective to prevent rather than treat; prevention is the best way to keep your pets and surrounding pets safe!

With heartworm being present in the wild animal population, it unfortunately will never be eliminated and is always a present source of infection to our pets. For more information regarding heartworm and protective medication, your local veterinary clinics are always available to assist you. More information is also available at www. veterinarypartner.com While this article has focused on canine heartworm prevention, feline formulas are also available.

Join the Renfrew County Branch of the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals on May 26, at Pembrokeʼs Riverside Park for the 2013 Friends for Life Walk-a-Thon.

You can walk, run, ride your bike, push a stroller, and you can definitely bring your dog along, too!

The Algonquins of Ontario (AOO) have reached a historic point on our journey of survival, rebuilding and self-sufďŹ ciency â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a journey of reconciliation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and one that includes reaching out and building relationships with our neighbours within our Traditional Territory. This journey began nearly 250 years ago when the ďŹ rst Algonquin Petition was submitted to the Crown in 1772.

The Algonquins of Ontario claim includes an area of nine million acres within the watersheds of the Kichisippi (Ottawa River) and the Mattawa River in Ontario. Unlike most other First Nations, the AOO have never had a land surrender treaty with the Crown. There are currently more than 1.2 million people living and working within this unceded territory that covers most of Eastern Ontario, including the NationĘźs Capital.

There are also 85 municipal jurisdictions fully or partially located within the Settlement Area, including 76 lower and single-tier municipalities and nine upper-tier counties.

Algonquins have lived in presentday Ontario for thousands of years

before Europeans arrived. Today, the AOO are comprised of 10 Algonquin communities. These include the Algonquins of PikwĂ kanagĂ n First Nation and the Algonquin communities of Antoine, Kijicho Manito Madaouskarini (Bancroft), Bonnechere, Greater Golden Lake, Mattawa/ North Bay, Ottawa, Shabot Obaadjiwan (Sharbot Lake), Snimikobi (Ardoch) and Whitney and Area.

The 10 communities are represented by 16 Algonquin Negotiation Representatives (ANRs) who are elected by Algonquin Voters for three-year terms. The ANRs include the Chief and Council of the Algonquins of PikwĂ kanagĂ n First Nation and one representative from each of the nine other Algonquin communities.

Based on a protocol signed in 2004, these communities are working together to provide a uniďŹ ed approach to reach a settlement of the Algonquin land claim.

On Dec. 13, 2012, the Preliminary Draft Agreement-in-Principle (AIP) was released. The Preliminary Draft AIP is a culmination of many years of negotiations between the AOO, Canada and Ontario. Our negotiations, beginning in 1991, continue to build on the determined efforts of

the Algonquin people to be heard. It has been a long journey and it is far from over.

Elements of the Preliminary Draft AIP serve as key building blocks to: 1) reafďŹ rm the honour and pride of the Algonquin people; 2) ensure the survival and prosperity of the Algonquin people and culture; 3) raise awareness and understanding about Algonquin history and culture; 4) stimulate cultural and economic development opportunities; and 5) achieve reconciliation of the relationships between the AOO and the Governments of Canada and Ontario.

As we continue our journey, the Algonquins of Ontario are united in our commitment to achieving a just and equitable settlement of this claim. We look forward to working together as neighbours in the spirit of reconciliation.

This column is the ďŹ rst in a series providing insights into Algonquin history, the foundation for the land claim, elements of the Preliminary Draft AIP and next steps in the journey. The next column will focus on the transfer of funds and the land component of the Preliminary Draft AIP. For more information, visit www.tanakiwin.com.

Forest ďŹ re season in Ontario has ofďŹ cially begun and Ontario Fire Rangers are ready.

On average, more than 1,100 wildďŹ res burn each year across the province, with about half of them caused by people.

From April through October, people using outdoor ďŹ res must follow strict guidelines under the Forest Fires Prevention Act of Ontario to ensure their ďŹ res are properly managed.

Anyone who starts a ďŹ re outdoors must take all necessary steps to tend the ďŹ re, keep it under control, and make sure the ďŹ re is out before leaving the site. A person failing to burn safely could be ďŹ ned and held responsible for the cost of putting out the ďŹ re.

Agenda 21 message delivered at Horton council and Queen’s Park in Toronto Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Henry Tuck of Goshen continues to spread the word that a worldwide movement, called Agenda 21, is using global warming and other environmental issues to place restrictions on property owners, especially in rural areas.

Tuck brought to Horton Townshipʼs planning committee meeting May 14 a globe wrapped in red barbed wire, explaining, “It represents the red tape these environmental freaks are putting around our planet.”

Members falling into that category, he said, include members of the International Council for Local Environmental Issues (including the Federation of Canadian Municipalities) and the Sierra Club. Examples of the Agenda 21 movement, said Tuck, include Ontarioʼs Endangered Species Act and Renfrew

Countyʼs own strategic plan.

While some suggest this is a conspiracy theory, CarletonMississippi MPP Jack MacLaren says thatʼs not the case after hearing a similar, but longer, presentation before about a dozen Progressive Conservative MPPs at Queenʼs Park on Tuesday, May 14. The hourlong presentation was by Toronto planner Jessica Annis.

Itʼs not a conspiracy theory, but a philosophy thatʼs alive and well, insisted MacLaren, a past president of the Ontario Landowners Association before he was elected to Queenʼs Park “Weʼre not off our rockers. Not Jack MacLaren, not Jessica Annis, and not Henry Tuck,” said MacLaren. “We have to educate people about the fact that Agenda 21 exists because its object is to change the way we live and how weʼre governed.” For example, said MacLaren, “I agree with species protection, but how you do that is my main beef with

the Endangered Species Act.” Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski was unable to attend at Queenʼs Park because of a conflicting meeting.

Tuck told Hortonʼs planning committee that this is an apolitical issue that should “greatly concern every woman and child in our rural communities, no matter what their colours or leanings. This grave threat to our rural life, forestry jobs, almost any industry, ranching, farming, and the right to determine our own homegrown destiny, is very real, insidious and pervasive.”

Tuck was given 15 minutes to address Hortonʼs planning committee. “I felt I did a terrible job at Horton Township, and I did not cover as much ground as desired,” Tuck told The Mercury.

Tuck maintained the United Nationsʼ Agenda 21 (formerly called Local Agenda 21) is being implemented by the InterR0091961344

national Council for Local Environmental Issues (ICLEI), which he said has already been banned in a few American states.

The Agenda 21 strategy, says Tuck, is sold as a local initiative, but is really a topdown strategy from national government agencies and environmental non-government agencies headquartered in Germany. Tuck called Agenda 21 a “totalitarian political ideology masquerading as an environmental movement.”

Those interest groups lobbying to implement this sustainable development, said Tuck, are funded and controlled by a small number of multi-national corporations in partnership with government, including every level of Ontario government.

“There exists a predetermined end to our very way of life and liberty, if we fail to confront them, expose them to landowners, farmers and voters, and kick them out of our country!” he told The Mercury in an e-mail.

Tuck got only halfway through his PowerPoint presentation, but all planning committee members received a complete printed copy.

Tuck gave a similar presentation to McNab-Braeside

MPP MacLaren is more concerned, after arranging for planner Annisʼs presentation at Queenʼs Park. “Agenda 21 is really interesting, and to a certain extent is a really scary subject,” said MacLaren.

He said examples of this philosophy can be clearly seen in the Endangered Species Act, Ontarioʼs wetlands designation policies, and the Fewer Politicians Act of 1996. Agenda 21, whose 21 is a reference to the 21st century, is described as a non-binding, voluntarilyimplemented action plan that emerged from the United Nationsʼ 1992 Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro. Canada was among the nations signing on to Agenda 21, which has been affirmed and modified at subsequent UN conferences.

Tuck says he was inspired to speak out about Agenda 21 after reading Elizabeth Nicksonʼs book, Eco-Fascists, three times.“Iʼve read about Genghis Khan, Iʼve read about Peter the Great, Iʼve read about World War One, the Holocaust, everything,” said Tuck.“No book in my life has scared me so much as this book..”

council, at which he said local politicians should become aware of planning policies, including the County of Renfrewʼs strategic plan, which he says was developed with input from ICLEI. Not so, Renfrew County chief administrative officer Jim Hutton told The Mercury.

“Mr. Tuck is absolutely incorrect,” said Hutton.

“There was no involvement of the ICLEI in the countyʼs strategic plan. In fact, I have never heard of this organization … Further, the council of the County of Renfrew has clearly stated their opposition to the Endangered Species Act, from the time it was proposed as draft legislation and continues to utilize significant resources to oppose this wrong-headed provincial legislation.”

Hortonʼs planning committee asked questions after Tuckʼs 15-minute talk. Later, committee chair Bob Kingsbury admitted he found the presentation confusing. At the same time, Coun. Kingsbury agreed with Tuckʼs observation that the Endangered Species Act is restrictive.

“Whether governments will go to extremes to control where people can live, I canʼt see that.”

The need was ďŹ rst identiďŹ ed in 1988 and the bank went into operation in the fall of 1988.

Looking back through the scrapbooks, there have been many changes and all for the betterment of the

Connected to your community

food bank and its clients.

I couldnĘźt help but notice a few familiar faces who have been involved with the food bank for many years, My hate goes off to these volunteers for their continued dedication.

Another fact that I recognized was that the Renfrew Fire Department has been accepting donations for the food bank since its inception. This is true community spirit and deserves to be recognized.

Right from the start in 1988 the food bank faced many of the same challenges we face today.

Looking for a better facility to accommodate our needs has always been front and centre for the food

bank and we were able to address this issue by moving into our present location.

A few issues which face us every year are how we handle the increased usage, food donations down, re-working of food lists to better accommodate out clientsĘź needs and to identify a small percentage (less than two per cent) of clients who abuse the system.

We assisted 4,253 total clients in 2012; up from 3,079 in 2011. This translates into 354 clients per month; 115 of which were children in 2012.

We are presently using two intake people to handle the increased usage and we are looking at computerizing

our intake to be more efďŹ cient.

Food donations are down over the past year which is evidenced by the fact that we have already spent approximately $6,700 for food this year as compared to approximately $1,900 at the same time last year.

We are thankful for the cash donations we receive year-round which allows us the luxury of buying food.

We have re-worked the food list this year to accommodate the increase in larger families who use the food bank.

We have been more diligent with our clients with regards to the fact that they need to show ID once per year in order to receive assistance.

I would be remiss if I didnĘźt thank the community for its ongoing support of the food bank. The citizens, schools, businesses, churches, service clubs and media continually support out efforts year round. Thanks to all.

Last but not least; a big thanks to all our volunteers who put in over 2,400 hours in 2012. We have a base of 40 to 50 volunteers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 15 board members included â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who give of their time. Without you there would be no food bank.

As we move forward, we all hope there will be no need for food banks in the future.

Ironically, the same statement was made in 1988.

Canadian Red Cross disaster management volunteers ready to respond in county team supported Wal-Martʼs annual Red Cross fundraising campaign by being present at the two Wal-Mart stores during the campaign and providing information to shoppers about disaster readiness. Red Cross volunteers also made presentations to organizations about personal preparedness for the first 72 hours of a disaster.

In October, the Renfrew County Red Cross team participated in a provincial emergency response training exercise, Exercise Trillium Resolve, which simulated severe weather events.

One hundred and forty Red Cross volunteers from across Ontario worked alongside 1,000 first responders, organizations, services, government departments and municipalities to test the implementation of emergency plans.

Flooding was and is the word of the day this spring 2013. Red Cross volunteers were on standby for flooding in the Whitney area. Ten volunteers were deployed for

three days to the Township of Brudenell, Lyndoch, and Raglin. They maintained a reception centre welcoming community members wanting information about the flooding on the Madawaska. A week later eight Red Cross volunteers were again on standby for the Township of Whitewater because of potential local flooding.

When local Canadian Red Cross volunteers are not responding to disasters, they attend team meetings and training to plan and practice for emergency response. Renfrew Branch volunteers also participate in municipal, county and provincial exercises designed to practice responses to nuclear accidents,, municipal disasters and county wide disasters.

Red Cross volunteers also assist municipalities in disaster planning by conducting surveys of buildings which might be used as shelters during a disaster. Volunteers have done shelter surveys in Pembroke, Petawawa, Killaloe, Hagarty, Richards, Greater Madawas-

ka, and Brudenell, Lyndoch, and Raglin. The team is available to do shelter surveys for any municipality in Renfrew County.

The Red Cross is only as strong as its volunteer base,

and is currently recruiting volunteers to be local disaster responders, or to provide human resources and administrative support.

If you want to make a difference and would like to become

a part of a dynamic, energetic and committed team, please contact the Renfrew County Branch of the Canadian Red Cross at 613 735-1157 or emailing the branch at ozrenfrewcounty@redcross.ca

For Canadian Red Cross volunteers in Renfrew County, 2012 proved to be a busy year. The Red Cross Disaster Management team, trained to help people affected by small or large disasters from house fires to wind events, has served Renfrew County for over 8 years. Our eighteen volunteers make a difference in the lives of people affected by disasters in Renfrew County.

In 2012, Red Cross volunteers provided emergency assistance to 25 people displaced by house or apartment fires in Petawawa, Pembroke, Beachburg (Whitewater), Eganville (Bonnechere Valley), Cobden, (Whitewater) and Arnprior (Fitzroy Harbour). They provided clients with immediate shelter, food, clothing, personal hygiene/grooming products and, in some cases, pet care.

In March, two Renfrew Branch volunteers worked with the Town of Smith Falls to dismantle an emergency shelter at the Gallipeau Centre which would have accommodated up to 500 evacuees from James Bay affected by spring flooding. Although the evacuation did not occur, the preparation was a valuable training exercise.

In June, Red Cross volunteer, Lisa Falls, deployed to Thunder Bay to provide shelter and outreach services to residents whose homes were damaged by massive flooding.

In July seven volunteers were deployed to Calabogie after a severe windstorm knocked down thousands of trees and power lines, damaging or destroying homes and cottages. Red Cross teams conducted door-to-door outreach searches and provided emergency food and drinking water to families affected by downed trees, blocked roadways and lack of electricity.

In August, the Renfrew

Previous Hospice Renfrew volunteers who have also received this award include Jim MacKillican, Edie Wesbrook, Dr. Arthur Dick, Connie Legg and JoAnne Dowdall Brown. “Thank you to you, Valerie, for your dedication and to all of our volunteers for your generous gifts of time and energy. Hospice Renfrew could not exist without you,” Caughey said.

The most active birding time of the year JIM FERGUSON

A SPECIAL REQUEST AMERICAN KESTREL

ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK

Dorothy Randall at Beachburg had rosebreasted grosbeaks in her yard this week. This species nests in a tree species with thick foliage.

The nest is loosely built of twigs and lined with fine bark. The female incubates the three to six eggs for 12 to 14 days.

NORTHERN CARDINAL

There have been many reports of Northern cardinals in the past few weeks. This species builds its nest in the densest part of a low bush or small tree usually four to six feet (1.5 m) above ground. The female lays two to five eggs and incubates them for 12 to 13 days. Young remain in the nest for nine to 10 days.

American kestrels are again building in bird houses supplied by Remick and Cathy Campbell. This species will nest in farm buildings on bales of hay, in natural tree holes or holes excavated by woodpeckers. The nest is just the cavity, no lining. The four eggs are laid one to three days apart and incubated for 30 days, mostly by the female. There can be as many as 10 days between the oldest and youngest chicks.

RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRDS

Ruby-throated hummingbirds have been returning since May 4 and are at most feeders.

The nest of this species is almost impossible to find. It is built by the female on a tree limb 10 to 20 feet (3 to 8 m) off the ground.

The outside diameter of the nest is one to two inches (2 to 5 cm), inside diameter one inch (2 cm). It is built of bud scales and plant down, covered with bits of lichen and held together with spider silk. The female incubates her eggs for about 16 days.

Mary Steele saw a green heron carrying nesting material to a location behind their home.

This heron usually builds in trees but will build in a well concealed, low bush. The nest is mainly fine pieces of grass, twigs and lined with plant down. The two to four eggs are incubated for 21 to 25 days by both male and female.

BROWN THRASHER AND MOCKINGBIRD

Regina and Ray Puhalski and Terry and Chuck Pierce have seen brown thrashers and mockingbirds within the past two weeks. These birds are of the same family and have similar nesting habits.

The nests are built in a variety of trees and shrubs from three to 10 feet (1 to 3 m) above the ground of twigs, leaves, grape bark, and rootlets. The four eggs (varies) are incubated by the female for 12 to 14 days.

loon platforms in appropriate places on Centennial Lake. The loons will build a nest on a platform of reeds, grasses and water plants right at the waterʼs edge.

The two eggs are incubated for 29 days by both male and female.

The young remain in the nest for one day but stay with their parents for two to three months.

When they are two days old they can dive for short distances to avoid danger.

Jacqueline Gauvreau, right, of the Renfrew Collegiate Raiders is one step ahead of Arnprior Redmen hurdler Lydia Bastien. In the end, the RCI runner was ahead of everyone else also as she won the junior girls 300-metre hurdles event in 58.5 seconds at the 2013 Renfrew County track and field championship in Arnprior.

Braedon Troutman of the St. Joseph’s Jaguars goes for a good landing in the senior boys long jump at the Renfrew County track and field championships at the Arnprior District High School track. Troutman finished eighth with a jump of five metres. Jaguars teammate Peter Vice won the event.

RCI Raiders turn in strong efforts Jaguars’ Kathryn David top junior Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

The Renfrew Collegiate Raiders turned in a number of personal bests and strong performances at the Renfrew County track and field championship at Arnprior District High School May 16.

“Positive attitudes and diligent practice led to memorable races,” coach Kathleen Mottershead said.

The Raiders enjoyed some

great success in the field events as well.

RCI athletes who won their events included Janessa Linton with a time of 2:40.6 in the midget girls 800 metres; Jacqueline Gaurveau, 58.5 seconds to win the junior girls 300-metre hurdles; John Pettigrew, 9:40.3 in the junior boys 3,000 metres; Taylor Wilson, 14.43 metres in the senior boys shot put, and Josh Thero, 47.05 metres in the senior boys javelin.

Coach Mottershead noted the performances of Carlin Jackes, Sam Agnew, Connor Bennett, Alan Zangerl, Devan Heaslip, Mack Cloutier and Nick Gill on the track, and Colleen Fleury, Abi Eady, Shelby Hartwick, Hunter Stubinsky, Amanda Tubman and Cody McLeese, who gave the Raiders several podium finishes in field events. The Raiders are off to EOSSAA at Thousand Islands Secondary School in Brockville May 23 and 24.

Opeongo Wildcats earn five firsts Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Opeongo Wildcat athletes enjoyed a good day at the Renfrew County track and field championship in Arnprior.

Leading the way for the Wildcats at the May 16 meet were two first-place finishes from junior boy Connor Moss. Moss won both the junior boys long jump with a distance of 5.28

metres, and the triple jump at 10.92 metres.

Three other Wildcats also came out on top in their event.

Riley Ann Schmidt outdistanced the pack at 4.42 metres in the junior girls long jump, while midget boys Andrew McIntyre and Nathan Dulong also excelled.

McIntyre won the 800 metres in 2:26.2 seconds. A distance of 4.84 metres got the job done in the long jump for Dulong.

Kathryn David certainly made her presence felt at the 2013 Renfrew County track and field championship at the Arnprior District High School facility May 16.

The St. Josephʼs Catholic High School Jaguars athlete won all three of her events to capture the overall junior girls title.

David made her mark on the track as she out raced the field in the 100-metre sprint in a time of 12.8 seconds; the 200 in 27.3 seconds and the 400 in 103.4.

David wasnʼt the only Jaguar who excelled against Renfrew County opposition.

Laura Troutman claimed top honours in the junior girls javelin with a throw of 26.25

metres and was second in the high jump at 1.35 metres.

Peter Viceʼs 5.85 metres was best in the senior boys long jump while his brother narrowly missed joining him in the winnerʼs circle in the senior boys high jump. Mike Vice cleared the bar at 1.88 metres to finish second.

Other second-place finishes were turned in by Peter Vice (11.72 metres) in the senior boys triple jump; Sarah Power (21.98 metres) in the midget girls discus; and Quinn Solar (1.60 metres) in the midget boys high jump.

St. Josephʼs 4x100-metre senior boys relay team also ran to a second-place finish.

The team of Braydon Troutman, Hayden McIntyre and the two Vices registered a time of 47.94 seconds, about 1.5 seconds behind the win-

ning Arnprior Redmen, but about the same distance ahead of the third-place Opeongo Wildcats.

The Jaguars have 15 athletes moving on to the Eastern Ontario (EOSSAA) high school track and field championships today and tomorrow at Thousand Islanders Secondary School (TISS) in Brockville.

COUNTY CHAMPIONS

Other individual winners were midget girls Jeris Chalmers-Wiens, General Panet, and Anne-Marie McNab, Arnprior; midget boy Everett Baird, Arnprior; junior boys Riley McEwan, Arnprior, and Max Serviss, General Panet; senior girl Anna Austin, General Panet; and senior boy Jacob Plunkett, Arnprior.

Holt leads Jaguars with nine goals Celebrate Our River Day in Eganville peter.clark@metroland.com

Anna Holt wasnĘźt about to allow a blustery, cold day stand in her way.

The St. JosephĘźs Jaguars sniper scored all nine of her teamĘźs goals to lead her team to three victories in Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association junior girls soccer action May 13 at MaTe-Way Park.

Holt notched a hat trick in the JaguarsĘź 3-0 win over Fellowes Falcons, two in a 2-0 decision over the Bishop Smith Crusaders, and for good measure rapped home four in a closing match of the day, a 4-0 whitewashing of the Mackenzie Mustangs.

It was a pretty good day for Brittany Cabral also. The St. JosephĘźs keeper earned the three shutouts, and now has ďŹ ve in the 2013 season.

Coach Renee Turcotte called it a terriďŹ c team effort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our success was achieved with great offensive feeds

by Hannah Robertson, Kathyrn David and Kim Carter.

Exceptional defensive play

by Jocelyn Virgin, Madison Cobus and Rachela Bertrand was crucial to maintaining our one-goal against record for the

season,â&#x20AC;? Coach Turcotte said.

The Jaguars had two wins and a draw in junior boys action.

St. JosephĘźs blanked Fellowes 2-0, overcame a secondhalf deďŹ cit with three goals to top Bishop Smith 3-2, and ran to a 1-1 draw against Mackenzie.

Nych Paquette had two St. JosephĘźs markers. Tyler McIntyre, Phil Pilon and Curtis Sawbridge also connected.

Braydon McEnroe earned the shutout for St. JosephĘźs.

Coaches Stacey McGregor and Trent Skelhorn said the Jaguars were in control of their match against Fellowes throughout. They also showed a lot in overcoming the 2-0 deďŹ cit to Bishop Smith.

The Jaguars had a successful day on the senior girls pitch May 14.

St. JosephĘźs blanked the Jeanne Lajoie Chevaliers 4-0 and Mackenzie 1-nil. They also dropped a 3-1 decision to Bishop Smith.

Ashley Hume booted home two goals for the Senior Jaguars. Sonya Bergin, Abby Freemark, Kaitlyn Kargus and Jenna Cluett chipped in with singles.

Jessie Vaive backstopped the St. JosephĘźs victories.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;All girls played extremely well and it took a total team effort to ďŹ nish in the top two in the league standings,â&#x20AC;? coach Mike McMahon said.

Evan Naismith chalked up two shutouts for the senior boys. The Jaguars blanked the General Panet Panthers 2-0 and LĘźEquinoxe Patriotes 6-0 while dropping a third encounter, 3-0 to Bishop Smith.

TENNIS CHAMPS

A number of Jaguars were on the tennis courts for the Renfrew County championship in Petawawa May 13, and posted good results.

Bringing hardware back to the school were Abby Freemark with a gold medal in senior girls singles, Peter Vice silver in senior boys singles, and Bradley Shean a bronze in junior boys singles.

Freemark and Vice qualify for the Eastern Ontario high school (EOSSAA) championships next week in Kingston.

The duo of Morgan McNulty and Jonah OĘźConnor was third in senior mixed doubles.

Coach Derek Lennox said the competitors had to battle to stay loose on a cold day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was about 3 degrees (C) in the morning,â&#x20AC;? he observed.

Dana Jennings Bonnechere Valley Township

At 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 1, come out and join in the second annual paddle of the Bonnechere River as part of the Celebrate Our River Day: The Bonnechere 2013.

The Township of Bonnechere Valley Volunteer Community Development Committee is working with the Bonnechere River Watershed Project to organize the event which includes a mass paddle from Wilber Lake to Eganville on the Bonnechere River.

Building on the success of the event last year, it will be sure not to disappoint those who will be participating again this year. The Bonnechere River is one of the gentler and rarely paddled rivers in the Ottawa Valley. It winds from Algonquin Park to Castleford where it joins the Ottawa River. It will be a fun and easy way for people to explore a beautiful stretch of the river from Wilber Lake to Eganville, ďŹ&#x201A;owing through lakes, farmland, forest and wetlands.

Online registration to paddle is available by visiting www.CelebrateOurRiver.ca. New this year is the option of paddling in a six-person explorer canoe provided by the Ottawa River Canoe Brigade.

On-site registration begins at 10 a.m. at the Eganville Arena. Once registered, you can view the Bonnechere River Nature in Your Neigh-

gently ďŹ&#x201A;owing river, with some beginner level rapids.

Come and join us for a fun day on the water.

The afternoon promises to be just as entertaining.

At 2 p.m. the mass paddlers will be greeted with Algonquin drumming by Bear Nation at Rotary Park dock next to the arena.

The Ottawa Valley Food Co-op will be on site preparing fresh, locally produced food.

At 3 p.m. we will have a chance to meet the Bonnechere River spokesfrog, the puppet Bonnie Chere, participate in a BRWP door prize rafďŹ&#x201A;e and listen to musical entertainment by Terry McLeish and poetry

by Chris Hinsperger.

RBC supports Renfrew Minor Hockey Association with $25,000 donation RBC has made a $25,000 donation to the Renfrew Minor Hockey Association through the RBC Play Hockey initiative, a wide-ranging, multi-year commitment aimed at growing hockey from the grassroots level.

RBC is committed to helping hockey happen in communities across North America through the RBC Play Hockey Program.

The program acknowledges the volunteer efforts of those making hockey happen in their communities. Without skates to tie, volunteers to teach, coaches to inspire and ice to skate on, the game of hockey

could not happen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Partnering with a local organization like Renfrew Minor Hockey is RBCĘźs way of giving back to a community that has so enthusiastically supported us over the years,â&#x20AC;? said Glen Kelsey, regional vice president, Rideau Lakes & Valley, RBC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;RBCĘźs Play Hockey Grant has already been put to great use in the RMHA,â&#x20AC;? said Neil MacAskill, RMHA president. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have set up access grants to provide matching fund subsidies or equipment for our area children, and have purchased coaching and dryland training equipment to not

only improve our coaches but create better training opportunities for all of our local teams and athletes.â&#x20AC;?

Renfrew minor hockey will also use these funds to develop opportunities for players, ofďŹ cials, coaches, and trainers.

RMH celebrated the grant at Ma-Te-Way Park in April with a free skate and visit from RBC mascot Leo the Lion, and RBC Olympian John Hastings.

The Renfrew Collegiate Junior Raiders guaranteed themselves an opening round playoff bye with two wins in three starts in Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association soccer action May 13 at Ma-Te-Way Park.

Nick Hazen paced the RCI attack with four goals. Hazen had at least one goal in each game.

Dane Brumm added two goals for the Raiders.

Singles came from Austin Scheuneman and Phil Kadlec.

KadlecĘźs marker came off a ďŹ ne cross from Brumm.

RCI overcame a 1-0 half-

time deďŹ cit in a 5-1 win over the Jeanne Lajoie Chevaliers, and blanked Fellowes Falcons 2-0.

Sandwiched between was a 3-1 setback to the Mackenzie Mustangs.

Billy Karras earned the shutout for the Junior Raiders.

The RCI junior girls were also winners in two of three matches.

RCI turned back Mackenzie 2-0 and Fellowes 3-1. The loss came to the feet of the Bishop Smith Crusaders by a 2-1 count.

Sage Melville had three goals on the afternoon. Bria Katsoulis, Sabrina Gill and Courtney Roach booted home singles for the Junior Raiders.

SENIOR RAIDERS IN PEMBROKE

Senior teams took to the pitch in PembrokeĘźs Riverside Park May 14.

The Raiders lost 3-0 to Mackenzie but rebounded to tie PetawawaĘźs General Panet Panthers 1-1 on a Carly McHenry goal in the senior girls loop.

The senior boys earned their ďŹ rst win of the 2013 season by a 2-1 margin over Mackenzie.

Liam Beattie and Joel Ferguson booted home goals for RCI. Fellowes and Jeanne Lajoie got by the Senior Raiders by 2-0 and 2-1 margins respectively.

McIntyre second in his category Local amputee runner, Tom McIntyre ran the Day Before MotherĘźs Day ďŹ ve kilometre event in Ottawa on May 11. McIntyre tested out his new tread on his prosthetic running leg. It is a recent modiďŹ cation using the Bowerman Nike wafďŹ&#x201A;e tread.

He was pleased with his 33-minute time and second-place ďŹ nish in his category. McIntyre looks forward to more running events in the near future.

Although Mid-Town Flooring shot poorly from the stripe (one of eight), they were hotter from the ďŹ&#x201A;oor in a 37-23 victory over Dunbar Fuels in the Ladies Spring Basketball League.

Sarah MacLarenĘźs 10 points topped the 10 scorers for Mid-Town.

Jamie Nolan, Amanda Cameron, and Sam DeBruyn scored 21 of DunbarĘźs points.

Twelve Mid-Town snipers hit for 64 points in a victory over Signature Styles. Sarah MacLaren and Jill Barr combined for 31 of those points. Seven snipers combined for 24 points for the Styles.

Lisa Blokland got the Renfrew Golf Club Bananas off to a good start with 11 of her 17 points in the ďŹ rst half against Signature Styles.

The Bananas continued strong for a decisive 55-16 win.

In a battle for second place, the Bananas held a slight edge over Mid-Town Flooring throughout the contest. They prevailed with a 3329 victory and wrapped up second place. Sarah Dougherty led all snipers with 16 points. Sam Eady countered with 12 for the Bananas.

Another closely contested game saw Frances/Lemke Co-operators pull ahead of the Bananas 22-17 with two minutes remaining. Similar to the Leafs-Bruins hockey ďŹ nish, the Co-operators stumbled as the Bananas scored six unanswered points to squeak out a 23-22 win.

It was only ďŹ tting that the ďŹ nal game of the regular season featured last yearĘźs ďŹ nalists. The Reunions held an 8-7 half time lead over the Co-operators, as both teams had difďŹ culty ďŹ nding the mark. With time running out, the Reunions trailed and were forced to be more aggressive to try to steal the ball. The strategy didnĘźt work and the Co-operators handed the Reunions their ďŹ rst defeat of the season, 26-22. Thirty fouls were called resulting in 31 free throws being taken. The Co-operators held an 8-7 edge in that department.

Following ďŹ rst place Reunions in the standings are the Bananas, MidTown Flooring, Co-operators, Dunbar Fuels, and Signature Styles.

Ottawa Heart Institute challenges Ottawa Valley

End of a tradition The Renfrew and District Christian School held its annual fundraising walk May 10 from Ma-Te-Way Park along the Millennium Trail and back. Participants included Holly Gauthier and her dog, and Meagan Vandersleen. It rained during this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walk. Hank Schaly, who has made the walk every year, couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recall it raining any time in the past. Perhaps it was only fitting that it should rain this year. It was the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last walk, as it will be closing at the end of the current school year.

The University of Ottawa Heart InstituteĘźs ofďŹ cial launch of Active Transportation Month in Renfrew County and Bicycle Month in Mississippi Mills takes place May 24.

The two events are intended to raise awareness about the importance of physical activity and active transportation.

Lanark County will also challenge Renfrew County with its Silver Chain Challenge to compete for the most number of kilometres biked over the month of June.

PETER CLARK/METROLAND

ALL INVITED

While accepting this challenge, Renfrew County will be raising the bar and inviting all residents and

visitors to dust off their bikes, put on their shoes and participate in any form of active transportation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; cycling, walking, running, skateboarding.

The event kicks off Friday, May 24 at 12:30 p.m. at Neat Coffee Shop in Burnstown.

Dr. Andrew Pipe and Dr. Paula Stewart will join the Wardens of Lanark County and County of Renfrew, Bill Dobson and Peter Emon respectively, to usher in June as Active Transportation and Bicycle Month.

Cyclists will be departing from Pakenham, White Lake, Renfrew, and Arnprior for arrival at the launch event.

To join one of these rides, contact PAN-RC on the web.

Five Renfrew runners took part in the five-km Diefenbooker Run May 4. From left are Lydia Spooner, Elizabeth Scott, Eleanor Spooner and Ariana Ferko.

Jane Spooner is missing from the photo.

Local runners in Diefenbooker run The Diefenbunker in Carp was constructed during the cold war era, but was not used.

The government of that time thought it would be useful if there was a nuclear war, for housing important people.

Thankfully, that never happened.

Now, it is sometimes used for other events.

The Diefenbooker is a multi-distance event for run-

ners, walkers and cyclists of all ages to have a chance to see closeup one of the Diefenbunker tunnels when participating.

May 4 was the 17th annual Diefenbooker Marathon Classic. All proceeds go to the Ottawa Public Libraryʼs three West Carleton branches.

Elizabeth Scott, Lydia Spooner, Ariana Ferko, Eleanor Spooner and Jane Spooner were the only five Renfrew

participants in the five-kilometre run.

Elizabeth Scott placed 97th of 423 runners with a time of 31:04. Lydia Spooner was 106th in 31:51. Ariana Ferko placed 147th in 34:31, Eleanor Spooner 222nd in 48:45 and Jane Spooner 223rd place in 48:48.

Overall, the Diefenbooker Classic was a tremendous hit, with more than 800 participants.

They pride themselves on being able to get people out on the dance floor and have a great time.

And they are expected to do just that on Saturday night.

The fundraiser is titled “Itʼs Time to Rock” and the price of admission includes a lunch.

The theme is blue/white and a splash of glitter.

Priscilla Derouin chairs the board of Bernadette McCann House.

She says all funds raised at the dance will be used to support the women, children and youth that they serve.

She explained, “The funds arenʼt used for capital costs. They are directed specifically to the special extraordinary needs of our clients.”

Special needs could include food vouchers for those who might need a little more to get them through, or perhaps gas vouchers to help them get to appointments.

Derouin added, “Each client is unique and there are many things that we can use the funds for to make transitions easier for them.”

Door opens at 7pm at the RCAF Club in Renfrew on May 25. Tickets are $20 a person and include a light lunch.

Tickets can be purchased by calling Bernadette McCann House at 613-732-7776 or at the door.

Renfrew Fair Sept. 4 to 8

Rate your cooking at 2013 Renfrew Fair The Renfrew Fair and the domestic science section needs you!

Are you a baker, a pickler, a jammer or a creative basket person full of ideas? Have you ever wondered how your cooking rates against others? Why not enter in the domestic science section of Renfrew Fair this September?

Our preliminary list for the 2013 Renfrew Fair is now ready and can be picked up at the office in the Armouries.

The domestic science section has an area for bread, muffins, cookies, squares, cakes, tarts, and pies entries. Jams, jellies and pickles and preserves can be found also.

We even have a section for new exhibitors. A new exhibitor is someone who has never

ing about entering in the fair this fall. As a committee we want to stress these factors of consideration when you begin thinking about entering in the fair. Firstly, and foremost, read your fair book. This book contains many rules, regulations and important facts you need to know as an exhibitor to the fair.

Secondly, when you are entering under the Domestic Science part of the fair, read the requirements for each category that you plan on entering under.

Thirdly, make sure your exhibitor tags are filled out and attached to your entry as described in your fair book and that you have filled out the exhibitor entry sheet found in the middle of your book.

Fourthly, feel free to call the chairperson of the committee with questions you may have, or contact Judy Dobec in the office at 613-432-5331.

All exhibitors must purchase a membership in the fair for only $5 and then they can enter as many exhibits as they wish.

An entry tag (available at the fair office) must be attached to all entries and an entry form must be handed into the office when the exhibits are dropped off to the Exhibit Hall.

All exhibits are dropped off on the Tuesday evening before the fair starts between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. The exhibitor then returns to the fair on Sunday at 5:30 to retrieve their exhibits.

Individuals from Community Living Renfrew County South happily surround guest speaker Maria Hawkins before her talk about bullying. From left are Clare Kenopic, Richard and Denise Gourgon, Andrew McQuade, Hawkins, Connie Gale and Eric Teschke.

The solutions, she suggested, can be easier than we think.

Like putting your hand up when someone enters your personal space. Like

turning around when being bullied and seeking assistance from a grownup caregiver.

Like saying ʻGet away from meʼ or ʻDonʼt touch

meʼ.

“And you have to say those things out loud,” she said, reminding the audience that a louder voice means others can feel more

welcomed to help.

Hawkins set up a skit in which one person was pestering another, only for a third to enter the scene and

say to the one being harrassed, “Come with me, letʼs do something.”

And off they went, leaving the bully with no one to bully.

“Ladies and gentlemen, not all our trouble is big trouble.”

The words came from singer and motivational speaker Maria Hawkins, who opened her talk to more than 50 members of Community Living Renfrew County South by singing Stand By Me. Later, she said standing by someone else is precisely the way to prevent bullies from getting their own way.

In her motivational talk May 14, the Ottawa speaker gave guidelines for how people with developmental disabilities can minimize bullying.

She also talked about how to stay safe, how to alert people when youʼre in trouble, and to report incidents of bullying or other unacceptable behaviour.

Hawkins, who recently received the Queenʼs Diamond Jubilee Medal, had many members of Com-

munity Living up and dancing during the singing portions of her presentation at the Renfrew Royal Canadian Legion. Accompanying guitarists were Marc Reid of Arnprior and Frank Campbell of Renfrew.

She talked about how all of us arenʼt always nice, but that we still donʼt have to accept bullying or other behaviour that makes us uncomfortable.

For example, she reminded the audience, “No one has the right to invade your personal space. Itʼs like your forcefield.”

The committee looks forward to seeing the entries in this area increase and we look for suggestions from the exhibitors of items that could be added to this area.

For those of you with an extra sweet tooth we have our candy section. It is always nice to see how different the candy is that comes in to be judged.

If a career in medicine peaks your interest itʼs time you joined the Pre-Med Club.

Sponsored by the Upper Ottawa Valley Medical Recruitment Committee, the Pre-Med Club is open to anyone interested in attending medical school.

On Tuesday, May 28, the group will host its final meeting before summer break in the Board Room at the Pembroke Regional Hospital (1st floor, Tower C) from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. with guest speaker, obstetrician/gynecologist Dr. Siddhartha Mukherjee.

Dr. Mukherjee studied medicine in Burdwan, India, receiving his medical degree in 1987 and his post-graduate diploma in obstetrics and gynecology in 1990.

Prior to arriving in Canada in 2004, Dr. Mukherjee completed his specialty training in the United Kingdom where he was actively involved in teaching and training residents.

Victoria Hospital in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.

Dr. Mukherjee has a particular interest in high-risk pregnancies and has received additional training in urogynecology, minimal access surgery and gynecological oncology as well as completing his ob/gyn certification both in the UK and Canada.

The Pre-Med Club was created for local high school students and others who have a genuine interest in medicine.

At the Pre-Med Club meetings, students and parents are encouraged to ask questions and gain as much knowledge about the profession and what it takes to be a doctor.

The baby will also cry if held in a position it does not like or if it is roughly handled or abused.

It takes a lot of practice,” director Joan Pecore told the audience at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School. Eightyear members Kristen Mulvihill (left) and Kayla Mulvihill accept awards from assistant director Jessica Belanger.

GOLD & SILVER JEWELLERY * WATCHES * FLATWARE * TEA SETS * COINS ahead to next year.

Student council elections for the positions of Prime Minister, Spirit Ministers and Public Relations Minister are coming up in the next couple of weeks.

The Prime Ministerʼs position is as a leader of Student Council and a representative of the student body. Those who run for the position of Spirit Ministers must be outgoing, hardworking and not afraid to look crazy, because they are responsible for organizing school dances, spirit days and numerous other events. The Public Relations Minister is responsible for communicating all of the schoolʼs events and news to students, parents, and the community.

Other positions, such as the Financial and Pastoral Ministers, as well as the

Secretary, are appointed by the Student Council in the new year.

All of these positions are demanding of time and energy, but those holding these titles are truly able to make a positive impact on the school.

At the moment, the nominees are in a campaign race as the voting date nears.

Good luck to all of the new candidates!

The team for the Dominican Republic Experience 2014 has been selected and are beginning their journey to the people of Yamasà. The passing of the torch from one team to the next is always an exciting time.

1. Infantsʼ demands are unpredictable and must be met promptly; 2. Infants require a great deal of time and attention; and, 3. Infants change a parentʼs life profoundly.

The program helps young adults explore the physical, emotional, social, and financial conse-

quences of parenthood.

“The baby cried so much when I had her, that I just started to cry with her when she just wouldnʼt stop crying,” said a student who did not want to be identified.

Students are required to wear a monitor on his/ her wrist that will record the response time and type of care given to the “baby”.

Students are also required to transport baby in the baby carrier, and carry the diaper bag at all times.

Aunt Lizzie’s strange gifts never served much use Fatherʼs sister Aunt Lizzie, very wealthy we thought, lived in Regina and once a year she came out to the homestead in Renfrew County, just to check up on her only brother, and ,as Mother said, to make sure the farm hadnʼt slipped into the Bonnechere River.

Aunt Lizzie didnʼt think Mother was good farm material.

She thought anyone who had lived most of her life in New York City, certainly wouldnʼt amount a hill of beans in the backwoods of Renfrew County!

Every time she came to visit, the house was in turmoil.

Everything had to be scrubbed within an inch of its life, and my sister Audrey and I had to give up our bed and the little washstand we shared at the top of the stairs.

Even the top had to be cleared off, so my collection of little stones I cherished ... small little stones I picked up on the farm and which I loved dearly, had to be put in a little paper bag and tucked away for keeping in a safe place.

Audreyʼs hand mirror and comb, too, had to find a new home for Aunt Lizzieʼs visit.

Even though she was his sister, Father was always in a lather when Aunt Lizzie came for her yearly visit.

She insisted on bringing him something which served no earthly purpose, and which she thought he shouldnʼt live without.

And often the hand-me-down box, usually included a present for Father which made little or no sense whatsoever.

Like the kimono.

Father had never laid eyes on a kimono before, but he insisted on wearing it when we had neighbours in for euchre one Saturday night.

Even Mother couldnʼt talk him out of putting it on, but when Uncle Alec after dealing out the cards, asked Father what in tarnation he had on over his shirt and trousers, Father decided the kimono just wasnʼt for him.

When Aunt Lizzie visited us in Renfrew County, she never failed to bring Father

thunder cloud, changed into his bib overalls and headed for the barn.

Aunt Lizzie came in with a shoe box under her arm.

She opened it on the kitchen table, and there was a pair of menʼs shoes, the like of which I had never seen before.

They were black shiny patent leather, with white leather insets under the laces, and the toes were so pointed, Emerson said you could kick the eyes out of a snake at 50 paces!

Aunt Lizzie insisted Father wear them to church the next day, which he did with great reluctance, but the minute he got home, they were exchanged for his black well-worn work boots.

Aunt Lizzie said he should wear them all day to break them in.

Father sat and looked at the shoes for the longest time, and I could tell he was thinking long and hard.

He put the new shoes back on and headed for the barn to do the Sunday night chores.

When he came in for supper, you wouldnʼt recognize the new black and white leather shoes.

They were covered with manure, grass and mud, and you couldnʼt tell where the white insets started and the black toes began.

Even Fatherʼs socks were ready for the Monday washing!

I knew without question, Father who was meticulous about both himself and the barns, had deliberately ruined the shoes.

Aunt Lizzie flew into a fit, grabbed the shoes and went out to the rain barrel with a whisk and a rag.

She agreed then they should only be worn to church on Sunday.

Her train left before the week was out, and she wasnʼt around to see if Father was in his new shoes at the Lutheran Church.

Like the kimono, the shirt with the celluloid collar, and the straw hat, the shoes vanished, never to be seen again on the farm at Northcote.

Mary Cook’s Memories

some outlandish gift, which she insisted was just what he needed.

One summer it was a dress shirt with a high round celluloid collar, which Father had to wear to church the Sunday she was there.

It took both Mother and Aunt Lizzie to button it around his neck, and when he got home he said his head ached and his ears were ringing. He never wore the shirt again.

I thought the small stiff straw hat with the narrow brim, and the narrow black ribbon looked much better than the big old tattered one Father wore around the farm.

Aunt Lizzie bought it at Walkerʼs Store in Renfrew and she never let Father forget that she had paid a whole 75 cents for it!

That didnʼt make him like it any better, especially when he saw the identical hat on a woman in the Lutheran Church one Sunday!

Well, one summer, Aunt Lizzie arrived, and as usual, the house was in a turmoil.

She re-arranged the furniture without even an if-you-please to Mother, all of which was promptly moved back where it belonged the minute the train left Renfrew station.

That year, Aunt Lizzie told Father that she wanted to go into Renfrew to do some shopping for him, as what she had in mind was too bulky to pack in her cow-hide suitcases.

Father wasnʼt too pleased, but Mother told him to get it over with...there would be no living with his sister until she had her way.

And off they went in the Model T on the Saturday. I couldnʼt wait to see what Aunt Lizzie had in mind for Father.

When they got home, Father was like a

The overall winner was Bill Lunney with a toMAY 23, 1913 tal of 20 points in five events. Those BASEBALL: The town leagues winning in the various events who opened the season as scheduled on Tuesday evening when the Rivers and the Athletics met. Mayor McCormack was on hand to pitch the first ball, and although not a Matthewson, he had a curve however that wound around the batsman. The game was evenly contested all the way through, Jamieson winning it for the Athletics by a mighty wallop with two on the paths ahead of him. The final score was Athletics 5, Rivers 3. If Tuesday nightʼs game is a sample of the baseball to be served up this summer the Renfrew fans are sure of a good seasons sport. The game was clean and the best harmony prevailed. Keep up this spirit, boys, and you will be assured good support.

HELPED OUT AT SHELTER: This week Mr. Dooling left the fair grounds for a day or two to give the Childrenʼs Aid Shelter a lift skywards to prepare it for the better foundation that Mr. E. Letang is building beneath it. Wednesday the movers were back on the grounds. By the time he is through with the Fair people this year, Mr. Dooling will have shifted no less than 17 of their buildings since he commenced a few years ago.

BRYSON COURT HOUSE NOW COMING DOWN: Contractor Sulpher of Renfrew has begun the demolition on of the old court house and jail at Bryson, a work which will keep a gang of men busy for some weeks.

Mr. Sulpherʼs commissioned to do this work by the Quebec Government.

The building has stood unoccupied for a number of years; ever since a new court house and jail for Pontiac county arose at Campbellʼs Bay. Suggestions for uses of the disused structure were many and varied. It was substantially built and of good appearance.

A STURGEON CAUGHT BY RENFREW ANGLERS: A 19-pound sturgeon was caught by two Renfrewites – Stewart Duff and Thomas Barr. Not only was the weight exceptional for fish brought to Renfrew but the variety was unusual. Place of the catch was on the Ottawa River above Portage du Fort. Several other fish of a similar kind were seen in the same waters, but this was the only one secured. Landing of it took some time and trouble. Messrs. Barr and Duff have not much of an appetite for sturgeon, but there was a family glad to place it in a pan. It was expected there would be much to report as to fish catchers on May 24, but a high wind told against the sport.

LOG BUILDING MOVED TO MCNAB PARK: The historic Temple building which has been a landmark at the Eastern End of White Lake village was moved on Saturday by Mr. E.C. Stewart with various members

of the parks committee and volunteer helpers to a new location in McNab Park grounds on the Western End of the village. The building was donated by Mrs. Beryl Rintoul, who had used if or a number of years as an antique shop. Built around the turn of the century by the Good Templars, it was owned by the Independent Order of Forresters, and then by the local Womenʼs Institute who sold it to Mrs. Rintoul. It served as a residence for different families, as a church hall

of the Baptist Church was destroyed by fire and as a meeting place for the Womenʼs Institute who used it for quilting parties, euchre parties, and local activities before acquiring the present hall. Later Mrs. Rintoul used it as an antique shop and on closing donated the building to the McNab Park and Museum Committee. The old log building will serve as another landmark of the park.
