Ross Jeffery, account manager for Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC), was at Renfrew council May 10 to provide an overview and update.

The average family home in Renfrew has increased in value by about $10,000 since 2012. Ross Jeffery, account manager for Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC), was at Renfrew council May 10 to provide an overview and update. He explained he is part of a new municipal and stakeholder team and his role is specifically as a dedicated resource to the Renfrew County area. Every four years, including 2016, owners receive a mailed notice detailing their property’s valuation. Notices were expected to arrive around Tuesday, May 24. The new assessments will serve as the basis for calculating property taxes for the next four years. The county increase was 1.1 per cent for overall residential while the Town of Renfrew’s increase is 1.2 per cent. MPAC is working to improve communication and reduce challenges to valuations, explained Jeffery. Last time, three per cent of owners of five million assessed properties disagreed with the assessment. new process

A new early disclosure and consultation process should help. “The first high-level thing you need to do,” said Jeffery, “Is ask yourself ‘Could I have sold my property for the assessed value on Jan. 1, 2016?’” If the answer is yes, it’s safe to accept the assessment is fair and file it away for future review. If the answer is no, property owners should visit aboutmyproperty.ca to review the information MPAC has on file. If there are any factual errors, they should contact

The first high-level thing you need to do is ask yourself ‘Could I have sold my property for the assessed value on Jan. 1, 2016?’ Ross Jeffery, Account manager, Municipal Property Assessment Corporation

MPAC, which will check it out and make any corrections. If an owner still thinks the assessment is out of whack, then step three is to contact MPAC and file a request for reconsideration. “If they’re still not happy with the value, they can file an appeal with the assessment review board, an independent tribunal operated by the province,” said Jeffery. Residential property owners have 120 days from the issue date of their notice to file a request for reconsideration. The average family home in Renfrew has increased in value by about $10,000 since 2012, reported Jeffery, on an average current value assessment (CVA) of $168,000. The figure for waterfront properties is $18,000 on a CVA of $214,000. Reeve Peter Emon asked about MPAC’s consultations with municipalities. “Is there an opportunity to talk about governance of MPAC and the MPAC board, because when I look at the board the only person with what I would suggest with any knowledge of Eastern Ontario or small town Ontario or rural Ontario would be Coun. Mary Smith from County of Peterborough. I would suggest the board doesn’t accurately represent Ontario,” he said. “I would suggest the board needs to look at its composition to better represent Ontario. I would suggest that’s an issue for MPAC to address in the future.” Jeffery agreed to bring the information forward to the board.

Horton Township Canada 150 grant application denied Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

Horton Township’s Canada 150 grant application has been denied. Members heard the news May 17 at the regular meeting. Council was set to use the approximately $30,000 grant to construct for the new Farrells Landing Linear Park. The park was to recognize a former wharf where settlers disembarked into Renfrew County in the 1800s. In the grant application, council committed $4,000 to pay for the property boundary survey of Farrells Landing road. The funding for this study has already been approved in council’s 2016 budget and at the meeting it was decided to go ahead with the survey. “The study needs to be done to determine how wide the road is because it is a non-traditional road,” said Mackie McLaren, chief administrative officer/clerk. In the staff report McLaren noted he has heard over the years the road is 18 feet wide and 22 feet wide. This will determine the actual width of the road. Gravel pit sold

Council passed a bylaw to enter into an agreement of purchase and sale with 2255554 Ontario Inc. for the purchase of the Horton Gravel Pit located at 1683 Lochwinnoch Rd. at a cost of $550,000. The pit was started by Ontario Hydro and the material from it was used to create the Stewartville Dam. The township purchased it in the 1970s, however according to staff, the pit is not central and not used very often. The goal was to finalize the paperwork by the end of the week. Dog duty

Council accepted the resignation of Stephanie Jacobs as the animal control officer effective June 30 and approved Municipal Law Enforcement Services (MLES) as the new provider. MLES manages the Town of Renfrew’s animal pound and through an agreement with the town Horton also uses this pound. In the staff report on the issue it was noted ‘when you compare the current cost with the

proposed cost, there is very little net difference.’ Jacobs charged $12.50 per call with a minimum call out of two hours. The new cost with MLES will be $25 per call with a minimum call out of one hour. Jacobs also charged mileage (from Braeside) and the new service with MLES does not charge. Jacobs had held the position in Horton for 15 years. Council also accepted the verbal resignation of David Brown as the dog tag seller for the township. They appointed Sue Bruemmer to the position. For the last two years Brown has collected for half of the township and Bruemmer the section from Highway 17 to Renfrew. The cost for a dog tag is $20 for the first dog and $25 for each subsequent dog. The door-to-door canvasser receives of this fee for every tag they sell. Natural park

At the recreation committee meeting held on May 3, program manager Kathleen Rogers provided an update on the Healthy Kids Community Challenge project. Each municipality involved will receive $6,000 to fund a natural play space built out of natural materials to encourage ‘kids to play and climb and discover and learn how to trip and fall, bump their elbows and knees and get up and realize they are not hurt’ according to the report. Rogers told the committee they have a perfect location for the natural play space at the community centre. The next step is to have a designer come and see the site. Murder Mystery

King of Krewel Mardi Gras host millionaire Pierre Dupre is ready to host his gala June 4. The Horton Mardi Gras Murder Mystery is set at the community centre, 1005 Castleford Rd. Doors open at 5 p.m. for cocktails followed by homemade spaghetti dinner and the theatre. Limited tickets are available for $20 per person, contact Rogers: 613-433-3303 or email: krogers@hortontownship.ca

Military training Residents from Calabogie to Deep River are advised that soldiers from Garrison Petawawa are conducting training from May 25 to June 10 in the area. Residents may notice military aircraft, small explosives, vehicles and soldiers in uniform with weapons during this time. All efforts will be made to minimize disruption to local residents, says the military in a news release. 4 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, May 26, 2016

Budget responsible despite challenges: mayor Continued from front

“Our concern is with the province and the OPP at large. We have very good and effective policing.” He said there is some traction being made with those who are raising concern over the costing increase. The roads budget represents 43 per cent of the total budget at $1,286,050, an 11 per cent increase from last year. “This is up significantly, the rehabilitation of Pucker Street explains a great deal of the

increase,” said Donohue. The Pucker Street construction (four kilometres) includes reconstruction, surface treatment and road widening for active transportation starting from Holmes Road. The total cost of this project is $255,000; the Ontario Communities Infrastructure Fund covers $79,682; the Canada 150 Communities Infrastructure Funds covers $127,500 and the municipal portion is $47,818. The Admaston-Bromley Public Library is

receiving $17,000; a six per cent increase in funds and it represents 0.5 per cent of the total budget. Donohue commended library officials for always utilizing all of its funds, calling it the “little library that can.” recreation

The recreation funds allocation to Douglas and Admaston remained unchanged at $6,000 each. The municipality has three recreation agreements; Renfrew costs $21,500, Bon-

nechere Valley is $2,300 and with Cobden for $2,000. The waste management budget is $258,290, which is a 4.6 per cent decrease from last year. They are currently waiting for pre-approval of an application for an environmental compliance approval for the landfill expansion. “It’s a very lengthy process for expansion,” said Donohue. The municipality currently has a four-year life remaining at the landfill and the expansion will extend that to 30 years. The total fire budget for this year is $194,650 or 6.5 per cent of the total budget.

The Patient and Family Advisory Committee (PFAC) was recently created to serve as an advisory resource to the hospital board and administration. “We are seeing different issues and through a different lens,” says Chris Ferguson, RVH Vice President of Patient Care Services, who chairs the bimonthly meetings. Needs and gaps are identified based on patients’ and families’ experiences, and the resulting recommendations inform changes to policy, programming and protocols explains Ferguson. “It’s always inspiring to listen to members and show them how their ideas make a difference,” she adds.

For example, the PFAC brought forward a concern that some patients have been upset when they unexpectedly found themselves sharing a room with someone of the opposite gender. This initiated a change in policy to ensure a conversation takes place beforehand if cohabitation is necessary. “From the patient perspective, the changes we are making are going to be very meaningful,” says PFAC member and former RVH nephrology patient Steve Lyons. Committee members have their own reasons for joining. Lyons shares that after being a patient, “I just wanted to give back, share my experience.” Committee member Kathy Berry’s inspiration comes from the care her elderly father received over his six-month stay at

RVH’s new Patient and Family Advisory Committee (PFAC): Chris Ferguson, VP of Patient Care Services, Steve Lyons, patient rep, Ann Marie Urbaitis, RVH Palliative Care Program, Kathy Berry, family rep, Gary McFarlane, patient rep, Krista Helferty, RVH Social Worker, Patricia Murphy, Nurse manager of the complex continuing care unit. Missing are patient and family representatives Mary McGrath, Jennifer Murphy, Candace Dick and Bonnie Nolan.

All hail the four lanes It was a quite a rush for drivers last Thursday heading north from Arnprior to Renfrew to suddenly realize the new westbound four-lane section of Highway 417 to Scheel Drive is open. What a pleasure. Once four days of work on the Campbell drive on/off ramps was complete late on May 19, the brand new lanes were opened with no fanfare. No more scary encounters on that stretch with huge semi-trailer trucks barreling toward you on the busy often twolane non-divided highway. Plenty of room for motorists who always seem to be in such a hurry to pass. No more dodging through the construction zone wondering where the edge of the highway falls as long lines of traffic file closely by you in the next lane. Instead, drivers cruise along the new lanes safely divided by trees and rock from the seemingly never-ending eastbound traffic on other side. This latest section of four lanes gives motorists another glimpse of what travel up and down the Upper Ottawa Valley could be like. Even this short section cuts a few minutes of travel time and certainly makes driving safer. The no more sudden funneling of four lanes of fast-moving divided freeway traffic into two lanes at Campbell Drive should dramatically decrease crashes

there (drivers should quickly adapt to the new exits and accesses). That area of the highway has become notorious for collisions, including at least two fatals, since the four lanes arrived. An appeal for traffic lights there was rejected because the four lanes were soon to be extended past the intersection. Thank goodness, that has finally happened. However, the problem has moved up the highway (a little further away from hospitals, unfortunately). With nobody exiting at Scheel Drive (it goes under the highway), the two lanes of westbound traffic have to squeeze into one. So drivers, beware of crack-ups. We can only hope the intensive lobbying by the county’s Highway 17 committee pays off and the MTO gets cracking on the next phase of the four-laning. If we can get the four-lanes to Calabogie Road/ McLean Drive, at least some of the traffic will be syphoned off. Of course, it will help even more to get it to Renfrew, where all the summer tourists heading to cottage country and Algonquin Park leave Highway 17 for highways 60 and 132. The opening of the four lanes between Campbell and Scheel drives gives motorists a sneak peak of what the route up the Valley will eventually be like. Let’s get on with it.

8 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, May 26, 2016

People helping people seem to have a snowball effect; people like to support community resources that they use themselves or that benefit people they care about. It is clear from our clients, our many volunteers and supporters just how many people care about Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support and how many people have been touched or helped in some way

with our agency. It makes me proud to be a volunteer. If you, too, would like to help support Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support, check out the calendar on our website www.seniorshomesupport.ca for our upcoming fundraising events. You can also watch the What’s Happening This Week column in The Renfrew Mercury where we post our events.

Physician assisted death a great evil To the editor:

It was never the prerogative of the Supreme Court to “legalize” euthanasia and physician assisted suicide, and they had always previously rejected it (including in the Sue Rodriguez case). But in February of 2015 they had the audacity to make it law, and to demand that Parliament craft a law governing the issue within one year. The Supreme Court extended the time another four months, and on April 14, 2016 the federal government enacted Bill C-14, Medical Aid in Dying (MAID). It would have been the absolute duty of the government to invoke the notwithstanding clause. This would have bought time (five years) till cooler heads prevailed in the realization that it would be absolutely wrong to allow such a great evil. This would have been the only decent thing to do. Now every sane, clear thinking person is appalled; yet on the other side there are those who think C-14 doesn’t go far enough. This includes Don Valley West MP Rob Oliphant, one of the members of the joint parliamentary committee that also recommended physician assisted for those suffering from dementia (and the right to arrange this in advance), and for children, and forcing doctors not in agreement to refer people to another doctor willing to kill the patient, thus violating their consciences; also to force every medical institution to assist in killing, even if they are not in agreement. Well, C-14 doesn’t give the most radical, bloodthirsty people all that they want, but it won’t matter.

It allows enough; and in every single jurisdiction where euthanasia and physician assisted suicide has been allowed, every socalled “safe guard” has been toppled, and it will be no different in Canada. People will no longer be able to trust their doctors, since the role of healer now includes killing; and it’s not hard to imagine many of our better doctors retiring or leaving Canada to practise elsewhere where killing is still forbidden. Of course now improving access to good palliative care in Canada will no longer be an issue. As in Holland, Belgium, Oregon, and everywhere else where euthanasia is allowed, the solution will be to kill the sufferer instead. Restrictions means nothing. The point is that this killing should never have been allowed, not even in a single case. Once that “No Entry” door is opened even a crack, it’s too late. What it all boils down to is that God says “Thou shalt not kill,” and we have no right in our arrogance to disobey His law. Canada will suffer and receive a great punishment for this latest “legalization” of a great evil. We already bear the terrible guilt of the “legalization” of killing children in the womb back in 1969, and of course in every country where that happened, euthanasia automatically followed. And from that follows the “need” to save money by eliminating the sick and elderly because of a lack of young people to support them. May God have mercy on Canada! Yvonne Dienesch Eganville

Community continues to support UWC scholarships To the editor:

A sincere thank you from the Renfrew and District University Women’s Club for helping us raise more than $4,800 to support scholarships for our local high school students. We were able to accomplish this with the support of the Renfrew Mercury, MyFM Radio, Heritage Radio, the merchants who displayed posters, the community who donated books and purchased books and the many volunteers who gave freely of their time on the days of the sale. A special thank you to Renfrew Collegiate

Institute for the use of their facilities where we sort books; the welcoming office and custodial staff who lug our books up and down stairs along with the all the students who help set up and take down more than 300 boxes of books on the days of the sale. Thank you from the students who have and will use the scholarships to assist them with their continued education.

Bill 100 does not force easements OPP remind public to protect their property To the Editor:

I wanted to take a moment to update you on Bill 100, the Supporting Ontario’s Trails Act. Bill 100 has been referred to the Standing Committee on the Legislative Assembly, and we will be holding public hearings on the Bill. The Supporting Ontario’s Trails Act is an opportunity to help protect and improve thousands of kilometres of the province’s trails network while encouraging its expansion As regular readers of this paper will know, there has been some discussion over what a trail easement does or does not do. To be clear, Bill 100 would not compel any landowner to provide an easement.

As currently drafted, Bill 100 would provide an additional way for landowner and trail organizations to enter into land-use agreements. When our government was developing the Supporting Ontario’s Trails Act, our ministry held consultations with over 250 organizations, including municipalities, aboriginal groups, trail organizations, landowners and not-for-profit organizations. I look forward to continuing debate on this important piece of legislation, and look forward to hearing from the public in committee.

To the Editor:

The Upper Ottawa Valley Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is reminding everyone that property crime is often a crime of opportunity and an open window or unlocked door can be an invitation to a thief. Our community needs to reduce the opportunity for property crime to occur by taking the following steps: • Lock your home, garage and all out-buildings when away

from home • Take steps to identify your property by marking it and recording serial numbers • Have a trusted neighbour keep an eye out if you plan to be away • Do not announce your absence over social media • Roll up your vehicles windows, remove the valuables, lock the doors - pocket the key Watch for suspicious people or activity in your neighbourhood

To report suspicious activity or non-urgent requests for police assistance call 1-888-310-1122 or to remain anonymous call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS). Call 911 to report an emergency or crime in progress.  “Those who steal and commit these crimes in our community should know we are actively targeting them,” said Detachment Commander Mark Wolfe.

Dip your paddle and Celebrate our Rivers this summer Bonnechere River Watershed Project

The Bonnechere River Watershed Project (BRWP) is partnering with business, numerous other organizations and municipalities again this summer to bring group paddle opportunities to residents and visitors. Some of the events will also feature local food and music, and all will feature plenty of fun! Please register in advance (to help with logistics planning), bring your paddle craft (canoe, kayak, paddle board) and join others in Celebrating Our Rivers. Paddle kilometres in June will be submitted to the Silver Chain Challenge (www.silverchainchallenge.ca) between Renfrew and Lanark Counties. The paddle series will begin on Saturday, June 4 with the fifth annual Wilber Lake to Eganville Celebrate Our River paddle. After the morning registration at the Eganville Arena at 9 a.m., a shuttle will be provided to the put-in at Wilber Lake. For those less adventurous or experienced, a flat water paddle will leave the boat launch at the Eganville arena. The two-hour Wilber Lake put-in paddle will end at the arena where Ottawa Valley Food Co-op vendors will be offering delicious local food for lunch to paddlers - and anyone else looking for something different - while taking in some local hand drumming and musical entertainment at the open-mike session. Registration can be done on-line at www.CelebrateOurRiver.ca for $10 per person in advance, $13 on-site,

16 and under and unwaged free. To rent a two-person canoe including gear, contact Don Adams at 613-735-6306 in advance. To book a place in a six-person canoe, see: celebrateourriver.ca This paddle is being organized by the BRWP and the Township of Bonnechere Valley. Paddle and cleanup

Saturday, June 11, will see the fourth annual Bonnechere River from Renfrew to the Ottawa River paddle and First Chute Cleanup, with a start time of 9:30 a.m. at the wastewater treatment facility at the end of Mutual Street in Renfrew. Paddlers will have an opportunity to see the site of the March 29 mudslide that dammed the river and flooded upstream to Renfrew. Please bring your own lunch for a shoreline stop after portaging the First Chute and a few minutes of cleanup. The paddle will end around 1 p.m. at the Horton boat launch with a shuttle back to Renfrew provided. Cost is $10/person; net proceeds to the BRWP. To help with logistics planning, please register in advance via info@BonnechereRiver.ca On Saturday, June 18, join the Ottawa River Institute for a paddle on the Snake River. This relatively undiscovered river offers views of flora and fauna not often seen by paddlers. The 9:30 a.m. put-in is on the Egan Line near Osceola, 500 metres northwest of the junction with Burwell Road.

Cost is $10/person; net proceeds to ORI. To register contact: info@ottawariverinstitute. ca On Saturday, June 25 at 9:30 a.m., paddle the Ottawa River from the wharf at Sand Point to Red Pine Bay Park, Braeside, as part of the Ottawa Riverfest. Organized by the Ottawa Riverfest committee in collaboration with the BRWP. Register for this $10 paddle contact: Geoff Patterson recreation@ mcnabbraeside.com 1-800-957-4621 ext. 226. A new excursion this year on the Bonnechere, and the only one on a Sunday, is a flat-water paddle on Golden Lake from Deacon to Pikwakanagan. This paddle is being organized by the BRWP and leaves the Deacon boat launch at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday, June 26. Depending on wind direction, paddling on this stretch of Golden Lake can require some effort. No cost to participate but paddlers need to arrange their own shuttle back to the launch site. To register, contact: info@BonnechereRiver.ca On Saturday, July 16, there is an extra special paddle with fiddlers and other musicians joining in for a very unique nature and musical experience, not to be missed. The third annual Eganville to Fourth Chute paddle/ fiddle will be followed by a barbecue (optional) and musical entertainment hosted by Valley Heritage Radio at the Bonnechere Caves. Registration begins at 1 p.m. at the Bonnechere Caves and paddlers will be shuttled to the put-in below Eganville for a 2:30 start

to a two-hour paddle. Cost is $15/person for paddle/music ($10 for music only) with net proceeds to the BRWP. Bring a lawn chair and cooler for the après music. Organized by the BRWP and the Bonnechere Caves. To help with logistics, please register in advance via info@BonnechereRiver.ca Another new paddle this year is along a picturesque route on the Ottawa River from Portage-du-Fort to the Horton boat launch at the mouth of the Bonnechere River, on Saturday, July 23. Rendezvous at the Portage-du-Fort boat launch at 9:30 a.m. A shuttle will be provided back to the launch site. Cost $10/person; net proceeds to the BRWP.

MP Gallant hears from local farmers Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant, together with Conservative agriculture critic Chris Warkentin, MP for Grande Prairie-Mackenzie, was pleased to host Craig McLaughlin, president of the Renfrew County Cattleman Association; Jennifer Doelman, from the crop sector; Barry Gould, poultry operator; and Don Russell, a dairy farmer, on Parliament Hill to discuss what the future holds for Renfrew County farmers. “It was a pleasure to meet with Craig, Jennifer, Barry, and Don to hear firsthand the challenges facing our local agricultural producers,” said Gallant. “While we may think of farming as a uniform industry, the issues facing each sector are as different as what they grow and raise. “Our livestock producers are concerned the Trudeau government’s indecision over European and Asian free trade agreements our Conservative government negotiated is creating uncertainty. Plans for building expansions are being halted, hurting both our farming and construction industries.” “Dairy farmers are currently frustrated over the American practice of avoiding trade rules by using industrial methods to break down milk into its components which can be imported, and then re-constituted for sale as milk products,” added Gallant. The delegation expressed gratitude to the Honourable Gerry Ritz for past Conservative government measures to support Canadian farmers, especially financial initiatives in response to the 2013 drought in Eastern Ontario. Most of all, the agricultural sector was disappointed the budget had nothing about its industry, aside from the finance minister’s quip about trading livestock and grains for wind turbines and solar panels.

Excessive speeding continues on Highway 17: OPP Staff

Despite several recent serious accidents and ongoing construction on Highway 17, drivers continue to put themselves and others at risk by disobeying speed limits. “A snapshot of one day’s charges on Highway 17 recently by the Highway Safety Division of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) revealed numbers some may find shocking,” says a May 4 OPP press

release. On Wednesday, April 27, several officers conducted traffic enforcement on Highway 17 in McNabBraeside Township. Efforts were concentrated in but not limited to a construction zone west of Arnprior, the same area where one construction worker was killed and one seriously injured April 25 when an SUV crossed the centre line and struck them. During the blitz, OPP charged

two drivers for stunt driving (143 and 146 in 90 km/hr zone), and issued provincial offence notices for: 27 speeding charges, four seatbelt charges, two cell phone charges, five other Highway Traffic Act charges, and one open alcohol in a vehicle charge. “The Renfrew OPP and OPP Highway Safety Division remain committed to traffic safety,” said Acting Insp. Steph Neufeld, East Region manager of traffic and marine.

“Traffic initiatives such as this demonstrate there is still a lot of work that needs to be done when it comes to high risk behaviours that place drivers, passengers and other road users at risk. Our continued focus will remain on the ‘Big Four,’ impaired driving, distracted driving, aggressive driving as well as failure to wear seatbelts.” The OPP will continue to work together with our community partners and stakeholders in support of

OPP report Canada Post mailboxes vandalized The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) investigated 208 calls for service during the previous week. Domestic Disputes

Renfrew OPP officers responded to seven domestic disputes during the past week. One male was charged with two counts of assault and two counts of domestic mischief, one male was charged with breach probation and two counts of failing to comply with a recognizance, and one male was charged

with criminal harassment, indecent communication and three counts of uttering a threat. Mischief

Several cases of Canada Post Community mailboxes being tipped over were investigated recently. On Saturday, May 14 at 10:43 p.m. officers were notified of a mischief in progress at Airth Boulevard near Wade Avenue in Renfrew. A number of green Canada Post mailboxes, as well as several basketball nets nearby were

tipped over. Similar mischief was noted on Hall Avenue and several streets nearby and one incident on Melville Road in Arnprior. Officers replaced the mailboxes and nets. One large mailbox on Barnett Boulevard and Eighth Street was knocked over and four officers were unable to lift it. Construction cones on Veterans Memorial Boulevard and an outhouse was knocked over on Otteridge Drive. An older model silver Honda Civic has been noticed in the area in a suspicious manner. Anyone with information on this property dam-

age is asked to call the OPP immediately at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. A truck was scratched and dented overnight on May 4. The vehicle was parked near the Renfrew Victoria Hospital at the time. The damage was done to the tailgate.

Renfrew Victoria Hospital nurses’ work to improve practices across province Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

Nurses are champions, especially those at Renfrew Victoria Hospital (RVH) who are currently working on new practices that can be shared across the province. As part of the hospital’s Nursing Week celebrations it hosted a retreat for staff focusing on best practice guidelines initiated under the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario (RNAO) Best Practice Spotlight Organization (BPSO) program on May 12 at Groves Park Lodge. RVH is currently in year two of three of the BPSO and president and chief executive officer Randy Penney said it is a great program for the hospital as it recognizes the work the nurses are doing across the province. Penney said the program gives the nurses a chance to focus on issues that pertain to the hospital that can also be used elsewhere. “There are specific clinical areas that nursing can focus on that are specific to RVH, in this particular case we are really focusing on patient and family-centred care,” said Penney. “As a result of doing that, they are identifying best practices in

Right, chief executive officer Randy Penney with guest speaker Grace Suva and Christene Ferguson, and vicepresident of patient care services at the event. improving family-centred care and we will come up with recommendations, that will not only be implemented at RVH but in fact will be shared across the province.” All of the information is public and any other organization is free to learn and utilize from the experiences at RVH. Christene Ferguson, RVH vicepresident of patient care services

explained they are focusing on specific areas including: chronic kidney disease decision making tool, screening abuse questionnaire to be used in the emergency department, screening for older adults, patient and family-centred care and assessment/management of pain. “It’s great that we are picking five things that we can actually do so that we can benchmark our-

selves against national standards so we can get data as well and compare to hospitals across the province,” said Ferguson. At the start of the retreat the nurses were very excited to hear from their BPSO coach Grace Suva who told the large group of nurses the program has been successful because nurses have embraced the best practices when delivering patient care. “This hospital is just one example of many organizations where registered nurses are taking best practices and applying them to their everyday practice,” said Suva. “By applying the best knowledge and evidence, nurses at RVH are ensuring the care they provide is the very best for each of their patients.” Penney thanked the nurses for all of the wonderful work they do. “I get to hear first-hand from patients about the quality of our nursing staff,” said Penney to the nurses who were all wearing blue scrubs with the word ‘champion’ under the RVH logo. “It’s one thing to have wonderful buildings and equipment, however it means little if we don’t have our staff and our organization has been blessed with great nursing staff.”

Raise the Roof project proves Bogie-spirit is alive and well in Calabogie Affectionately called ‘Bogie-spirit’ by local residents, the community spirit in Calabogie is one which must be seen to be fully appreciated. While Calabogie’s list of community and fundraising achievements is impressive, the Raise the Roof project is one that has captured the passion of this close-knit community. The Raise the Roof project dates back to 2010, when the Calabogie Community Recreation Committee (CCRC) was formed, and the existing outdoor rink in Calabogie was torn down. Council allotted $66,000 from the recreation reserve to the construction of a new facility, and $10,000 was donated from Farm Credit Canada. When it became clear to Calabogie residents that a new outdoor rink was badly needed, the community rallied its Bogie-spirit to replace this important piece of infrastructure with one that would become a cornerstone in the community for years to come. The immediate response from Calabogie residents was inspiring, and their excitement and commitment for the rink reconstruction project was made loud and clear. The end result will definitely be worth the effort: Raise the Roof is a five-phase project that will culminate in a safe, affordable and inviting recreational facility promoting a healthy and active lifestyle in Calabogie. To date, fundraising efforts have been extensive. The Raise the Roof Golf Tournament, held at Calabogie Highlands Resort & Golf Club has been a cornerstone of the fundraising initiatives. Now in its 6th year, the tournament draws more than 140 golfers to Calabogie, where they spend the day on the green, followed by a delicious meal, and silent and live auctions. Sponsorship for the tournament and a prize at every hole has contributed to the tremendous success of this annual fundraising event, and has brought the community closer to realizing their goals for the community rink. This year, tickets were sold out for the raffle of a 2015 CANAM Maverick 1000, helping to well surpass the goal of $20 000 for this year. The draw will be held on June 17, 2016 at the Calabogie Highlands Golf Resort. A Bogie-style Baseball Tournament is another big hit in the community, where children’s and seniors’ games, teen activities, a beer tent, food course and live music contribute to a successful fundraising event. The baseball tournament has the dual purpose of raising community spirits and funds for the Raise the Roof Project. Other fundraisers have been ongoing, including an annual Christmas concert that’s been held every year since 2010. The Christmas concert raises funds for the rink, which have been generously matched by the community’s financial institution, Scotiabank. Community spirit has been defined as the “willingness and desire to participate in activities that promote a community.” Thanks to the strong support within the community, from local government, families, and businesses, it’s clear Bogie-spirit is alive and well in Calabogie! To make a donation in support of Raise the Roof, please contact Joanne at 613-281-1249, Brian at 613-725-0246 or contact the local Township Office in Greater Madawaska at 613-752-2222.

Fun for a great cause at May 28 KatieBears Fun Day Sherry Haaima

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

When Katie Fraser was happy, she had the habit of excitedly clapping her hands. Katie’s mom Lynda suspects this would certainly be her late daughter’s reaction to the extensive good works being done in her memory, through KatieBears, a group she created with her husband Ian. The organization delivers bears at annual holiday parades and other events and also sponsors two schools in Jamaica. The group is currently preparing for one of its major fundraisers, the KatieBears Fun Day, being held May 28 at the RCAF Wing in Renfrew, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Katie passed away in 2009 at age 22 because of a pulmonary embolism and Lynda has no doubt she’d be supportive of the ongoing KatieBears initiatives. The Frasers travel to Jamaica each year to bring bears, money and donations to the schools. Working from a home base at Travellers Beach Resort, they are able to see the fruits of their labour first hand. The resort runs the Negril Education Environment Trust (www. neetja.com) and bears and candies were presented to that organization, as well. This year’s trip was in March and consisted of visits to both schools – Dalmally Basic School and Upper Top Lincoln. “We brought full first aid kits to each school, along

Right, volunteer Alex Leslie joins the students for some fun. with books, stickers, school supplies, soccer balls and nets,” said Fraser. Adding a big boost to this year’s efforts was a $2,000 donation from a local woman in memory of her husband. The donor, who wants to remain anonymous, told Fraser she and her husband had received a KatieBear before he died, and they believed in the cause. “She said she and her husband agreed this is a great organization – helping schools, giving out bears – and they knew all the money was going directly to the cause,” said Fraser. “The generous donation enabled us to purchase new stoves for each school and 650-gallon water tanks for each,” said Fraser. “There was enough left that each school now has actual

swings on the empty frames they each had.” Adding to the experience the past couple of years has been the bonus of having volunteers join the Frasers on the trip. “They work and work and never really see what’s been done,” said Fraser. “This way they can look around and say ‘This is really cool, look at what we’ve done.” This year Alex Leslie and Graham Spaull made the trip. Returning to the schools and communities each year is a heartwarming experience. “It’s unbelievable,” said Fraser. “It’s really amazing. You can’t imagine how this has only happened because we helped.” Work is almost complete at the first school they sponsored, Dalmally Basic.

“The only thing left to do is level out the yard, put a fence up and plant shade trees,” said Fraser. FUN DAY

The Frasers and their crew of volunteers are putting the finishing touches on the fun day. “We want people to come out and have a good time with their family,” said Fraser. “It’s a really good time for the kids, it’s low cost for them to come out and have a game and there’s guaranteed

prizes so they’re not disappointed.” Highlights of the fun day are the idol competition and ever-popular silent auction, which again this year features tons of great items. “We’ve got lots of singers, 16 or 17 already,” said Fraser, noting there’s always room for last-minute registrants. “There’s a $100 cash prize for each age division – children, teens and adults - and the person with the highest pledges gets prizes, too,” she

said. Capital City Garrison is back this year with its Star Wars characters and Ottawa musician Danielle Allard is among the celebrity idol judges. St. John Ambulance Therapy Dogs will join the host of organizations with displays and activities. There are plenty of kids games, some of which have been modified to make them easier and quieter. Last-minute vendors are also welcome to jump on board, said Fraser.

Refugee group clarifies issue Regarding the May 12 Renfrew Mercury article (Delay causes Renfrew refugee family to stay at Jordan camp), the Renfrew Refugee Welcome Group (RRWG) wishes to clarify about the lost paperwork involving our initial application to sponsor a Syrian refugee family. Felicite Stairs, the RRWG secretary, said: “The February application had to be sent to the United Church of Canada as our sponsorship agreement holder, who would then have reviewed

it and sent the documents to the government. We sent it to the United Church of Canada, but they didn’t receive it, and we don’t know where or how it was lost. An error was made. “We did not intend to suggest that the government was to blame for the lost original application,” she said. “When we learned our application had been lost in March, we reapplied immediately to the government directly as a community sponsorship group.”

Horton Mayor Robert Kingsbury welcomes Hope Dillabough during the township’s meeting on May 3. Dillabough started her new job as the administrative/planning assistant on May 2. Dillabough is a Horton resident who graduated with her bachelor of arts degree from Carleton University in 2004. Before coming to Horton she was the deputy clerk for Township of Whitewater Region and had been at that municipality for 10 years after starting as the secretary. She has also received her diploma in municipal administration from the Association of Municipal Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario.

It’s bogie time! That’s right the 4th annual Bogie Days is happening May 27 and 28 at the Calabogie Community Centre. Cost to enjoy the event is $5 per person and those 16 years old and under get in free. Bogie Days proceeds go to the Raise the Roof campaign for the Calabogie arena. One of the committee members helping to organize the event says there is something for everyone. “We try and get every age group,” said Kim Rekowski. “Everyone is welcome to come out.” The event starts with a ball tournament on Friday night that also runs Saturday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. On Saturday there will be kids games, face painting, bouncy castles and more from noon to 5 p.m. “It’s like a little fair for the kids,” said Rekowski.

Helping you is what we do.

Steel Band and Daybreak will be performing. “Daybreak is classic rock and they are well-loved in the Valley, Sam Steel Band is like a Fleetwood Mac tribute,” said Rekowski. “We wanted to keep it local.”

Our Lady of Fatima (OLF) Church in Renfrew will celebrate the 50th anniversary of its dedication on the exact day the event took place 50 years ago. On Sunday, May 29, at 9 a.m., a mass of thanksgiving will be celebrated by the Most Reverend Michael Mulhall, Bishop of Pembroke, exactly 50 years to the day that his predecessor, the Most Reverend William J. Smith consecrated the church. Father Ryan Holly, the fifth pastor of the parish, is excited about the upcoming celebration. “Fifty years to the day is a pretty special connection,” said Holly. “We’re having a celebration and inviting people with connections to Fatima to come back.” A festive reception in the parish hall will follow the mass. The anniversary year actually coincides with the establishment of a monthly soup kitchen meal and a combined effort of both Renfrew parishes to welcome a Syrian refugee family. “When we give the very best of our efforts to the worship of God, then everything else will flow out from that,” said Holly.

The Renfrew Victoria Hospital Auxiliary has just completed their annual Marathon Bridge fundraiser. The 2015-16 season ran from Oct. 1 to April 15. Two groups participated, one of seven couples and one of nine women partnerships, playing a game every two weeks throughout the season. The fee remained the same at $20. Only five couples were available to participate in a windup party this year, so unfortunately it was cancelled. Season winners were: • Bette Rowe and Yolande Baillon in the women’s group, scoring 26,360 points. • Yvonne and Andy Sklepowicz in the couples group, scoring 34,090 points. A big thank you to all who participated in this year’s marathon bridge. We welcome newcomers. Just contact Pat Blandford, at the end of August, to register for the 2016-2017 season.

Dragonfly welcomes new pro Bill Rainboth

Dragonfly Golf Links general manager

SUBMITTED

Soccer champs On May 19, the Renfrew Collegiate Institute Raiders junior girls soccer team won the Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletics championship. The Raiders defeated their cross-town rivals the St. Joseph’s Catholic High School Jaguars 2-1 in an overtime shoot-out. Sydney Smart scored the game tying goal and Abby Lesway, Kaitlyn Warner and Abby Emon scored in the shoot out. The team now advances to the Eastern Ontario Secondary School Athletics Association championship on May 25 in Elgin. In front, from left are Mikaela Ripley, Georgia Clemmer, Abby Lesway, Ashley Hubert, Cassy Hewitt, Hayley Roderick, Lizzy MacFarlane, Sydney Smart, Gillian Johnston, and in back, coach Ed Oegema, Catherine Beattie, Delaney Leavoy, Sydney Smith, Kaitlyn Warner, Maddie Stroud, Morgan Virgin, Abby Emon, Cassey Gibbons, coach Shelby Inglis. Missing is Lauren Campbell and Jessie Stafford.

Another awesome week of league play is in the books at Dragonfly Golf Links. In men’s league, the format was that the team of six plays in three groups of two, and that the worst score in had to count for the team. This put the onus on team captains to make sure that the twosomes were as even-skilled as possible. This also meant that scores were understandably higher than normal. Have no fear gentlemen, a kinder format is in the wings for next week. Tuesday’s winner in A flight was the team from Renfrew Victoria Hospital. Using their course knowledge to win B flight was the team from Dragonfly Golf links, and The X-Men went from worst to first to claim C flight. Closest to the pin winners were TJ Miller on hole five and Pat Neville on hole seven. For the second week in a row the Wednesday winners in A flight was from Renfrew Pizzaria. B flight winners were the team from

Deslaurier Custom Cabinets. Closest to the pin winners were Brady Pender on hole five and Kirk Skebo on hole seven. Ladies winners this week were in A flight, the Garden Lake Loonies, and B flight winners were the Top Tees who had the lowest net score of the week! Closest to the pin winners were Pam McFarlane on hole five, and Jade McMahon on hole seven. Dragonfly general manager and CPGA Bill Rainboth, and CPGA pro Christine Jarrett share more than 40 years of teaching experience (between them). Dragonfly offers golf instruction to all skill levels in group or private settings. Jarrett is new to Dragonfly and is a welcome addition to the Dragonfly team. Rainboth feels fortunate to have two teaching pros on site and says “she is a wonderful pro and even better person. Welcome Christine.” Aaron Applin was the lucky winner of the pro shop raffle - a 2016 Ping G Driver worth more than $600 (after tax). Congrats Aaron, and thanks for choosing Dragonfly!

Renfrew hosts senior games Staff

The euchre portion of the Renfrew County Senior (55+) Games was held at the Ma-TeWay Activity Centre May 17. The day’s winners were: gold - Alvin King and Ed Nykorak; silver - Robert Berube and Des McIntyre and bronze - Rita Coulas and Theresa Chapeskie. There were 14 tables of four for the event, held at about the midway point of the games, which include activities such as pickleball, bowling, darts, cycling, golf and more. The events are growing in

popularity, said chair Gary Churchill. “We’re up for the total number of people registered and up in people registered in more than one activity,” said Churchill. The games wrap up with a banquet on Friday, May 27 at the Pembroke Legion. Gold medal winners will compete at the Ontario Senior Games in Midland, Ont., in August. Local officials are excited for the future – in August 2017, Pembroke and surrounding area will host the Eastern Regional Games.

I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to secure me in my necessity (make request). There are none that can withstand your power. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3 times). Say this prayer for three consecutive days and then you must publish it and it will be granted to you. DJ & RS

Born on the 13th of February in the year 1945, he was predeceased by his loving wife Hazel, his sister Bev, and his parents, Hilda and Victor. Doug leaves behind his sisters Ada (Doug Adams), Kathy (Charlie Routliffe), Bonnie (Doug Draker), his brother Jim (Brenda), and his brother-in-law David Wilson. Also left to mourn are his nine nieces and nephews and fifteen grand/great nieces and nephews. Doug was an avid outdoorsman with a deep passion for music, friendships and time spent with family. He was always happy to lend a hand no matter how hard the task, and was a caregiver and protector of his many nieces and nephews. His many friends and family will miss his hearty laughter and gift of story telling. Our deepest thanks to Andrea and Reverend Hunt for their warmth and support during Doug’s final hours, and Judy and the Seniors Home Support for their assistance during Doug’s last months at home. Memorial visitation will be held at Anderson Funeral Home, 22 Raglan Street South Renfrew, on Friday, May the 27th from 2pm until the time of service in the chapel, officiated by Dr. Rev. Hunt.

HOME, GARDEN & RENOVATION

Does your ROOF need repairing? Spring has arrived and we’re finally enjoying some warm weather. However, the long, cold winter may have damaged parts of your home, including the roof. Now is the time to find out exactly what needs to be repaired. Here are a few tips to guide you in the right direction.

LOOK FOR CLUES

Here are the seven main signs to look for: 1. Moss-like vegetation growing on the roof. 2. Flashings (metal waterproofing strips) that are rusty, damaged or even missing. 3. Nail heads sticking out.

Use your “eagle eyes” to check for signs of damage to your roof. Don’t stand on the roof to do this; not only could you further damage it but you could also fall and seriously injure yourself. Your best bet is to look from the ground or from second floor win-

If checking your roof seems impossible from your yard, there is still the option of asking a neighbour’s permission to check your roof from their highest winmember to take your dows. Re binoculars with you.

4. The attic insulation seems damp or wet. 5. Shingles look as if they’re undulating, curling, disintegrating or losing pieces. 6. Condensation in the attic. 7. Stains or mould on the ceiling or roof trusses. CALL IN AN EXPERT If you’ve answered “yes” to any of the above questions, you should talk to a roo fing contractor to find out exactly what kind of work is required. After that, any repair or replacement work can be done. Re mem ber that roofing requires special expertise; only professionals can guarantee lastAre your roof shingles disintegrating?

HOME, GARDEN & RENOVATION

Discover the eight advantages of STRETCH CEILINGS Professional interior decorators are raving about stretch ceilings, an innovative, if not to say revolutionary, trend. Just as fondant transformed the world of cake decorating, this smooth and pliable vinyl membrane is carving out a place for itself in the world of home renovations. Here’s an overview. First used in commercial buildings, the stretch ceiling has gradually spread to the residential sector thanks to its unique decorating potential. Its reflective finish is spectacular, to say the least, and it gives an avant-garde look to any decor. Here are the eight advantages of a stretch ceiling. 1. It is more environmentally friendly than many other popular materials, partly thanks to its light weight and volume.

2. It gives an impression of height, which creates an even more striking visual effect in a room with a low ceiling. 3. During installation it doesn’t give off any dust and leaves 7. It can be personalized (printed with illustrations, photono residue. graphs, designs, etc.). 4. It allows for the integration of a variety of decorative or 8. When pipe or roof leaks occur it can retain the water until utilitarian options (light projectors, air conditioning outlets, the problem is solved. It can then be stretched back to its speakers, etc.). original shape with heat blowers.

There’s no doubt about it: the stretch ceiling is an amazing innovation.

Seven tips for the ultimate WALK-IN CLOSET What fashionista has never dreamed of owning her own walk-in closet? A spacious area for storing clothes, shoes and accessories will make even the most meticulous of people happy. Here are seven tips for creating an optimal layout in your walk-in. 1. Plan separate sections for each category of clothing: long dresses, business suits, casual wear, underwear, coats, etc. 2. Opt for short rather than long horizontal rods, as they are sturdier and will simplify your search for clothing. 3. Avoid overloading rods, drawers and shelves. If possible, sell or give away any clothing that you haven’t worn for at least a year. 4. Allow as much natural light as possible into the room, or install enough lighting to be able to distinguish the most subtle colours. Who wants to realize — in the middle of an important meeting — that his navy blue tie is actually black? 5. Make room for a chair or even an armchair and at least one full length mirror so you can check your outfit on the spot — and feel like a movie star in your own home. 6. Make sure there is adequate ventilation in the room, especially if it is located near a bathroom. You definitely don’t want to end up with mouldy clothes.

Serving All of Renfrew County 44 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, May 26, 2016

7. If you’re a shoe addict, place your collection on a shelf or in open compartments in order to protect them. You’ll also be able to find the perfect pair for your outfit with one quick glance.

A walk-in designed with separate sections is much more practical.

HOME, GARDEN & RENOVATION

Decorating OPEN AREAS can be easy Decorating an open area in the home isn’t always easy. In fact, harmonizing the different zones can be quite a challenge. Here are a few tips to get you started. CHOOSE YOUR STYLE First of all, choose a style that will be used throughout this open area.

USE ONE TYPE OF COVERING The flooring has to be chosen with care when decorating an open area. Ideally, only one type of covering should be used — wood is always an excellent choice. At floor level, area rugs can be used to define or separate the different zones.

Do you prefer a contemporary, traditional, or country look?

Don’t let the dog days of Summer get you down. Take advantage of these great rebates now, and you could receive up to $1,500. These new ENERGY STAR qualiﬁed heating and cooling systems will provide years of reliable comfort.

• Save up to 25% on your energy costs.

If you decide to create an eclectic look by using a mix of styles, you might be setting yourself up for a complicated task; a blend of styles has to be carefully thought out and executed with caution, or the space will end up looking like a mishmash of disparate objects.

Basketball playoffs next week Rob Warren

In this week’s ladies recreation basketball league action, Midtown Flooring went on a 15-0 run late in the first half to overtake the Basket Brawlers 22-12. An even second half left Midtown with a 33-26 victory. Andrea Martin had a game high 10 points. Midtown Flooring scored 20 points each half to outpace the Lumber Jills 40-19. Jill Barr led the charge with 16 points followed by Andrea Martin with 11. Downtown

Tasha Latendresse’s three-pointer late in the second half gave Signature Styles/KL Plumbing the lead for good. They edged the Lumber Jills 2825. Latendresse finished with nine points. With three games remaining on the last night of the regular season, second, third, and fourth place in the standings were up for grabs. Signature Styles/KL Plumbing couldn’t lock up second place in their first game, as they lost 39-34 to Midtown Flooring. They stayed within three points most of the game but dropped eight back at 31-23 and couldn’t recover. Andrea Martin paced Midtown with 15 points and Katie Dolan led SS/KLP with 13. Midtown captured first place with 10 wins. The Styles did lock up second spot with their seventh win of the season, a 50-22 romp over Frances/ Lemke Co-operators. They looked like a team ready for the playoffs, hustling and playing aggressive at both ends of the court. Katie Dolan and Alyse Laplaunte each scored in double figures. In the battle for third, the Reunions and Frances/Lemke Co-operators traded baskets to 11-11. The Reunions finished out the half on a 12-0 run. They secured third place by picking up their sixth win, 45-25. Delaney Leavoy notched 16 points for the Reunions while Becky Shallenberger had 15 for the Co-operators. The Lumber Jills and the Basket Brawlers rounded out the standings in the six-team league. The playoffs start next week in the ladies recreation basketball league. 46 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, May 26, 2016

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, May 26, 2016 47

Opening of parlour marks start of new season for Mary’s family Finally, once again we were allowed into the parlour. It had been closed up as tight as a drum since the first snow fall months before. The braided rug rolled up on the floor tight to the door sealing the cold air in, and keeping the warm air of the kitchen out, had been thrown over the fence and beaten with the broom and rolled up in the Renfrew Mercury and tucked under a bed until needed again. parlour door

The only time the parlour door had been open since being shut off for the winter, was when it was our turn to have the Saturday night house party. And as soon as the last body went home, slam went the door and down went the braided rug! That day, when I came home from school and walked into the kitchen, there was the parlour door wide open. The only window was on the north side and so the sun hadn’t penetrated the room and I could still feel the chill of the long winter months when it was closed up. But it was like a new adventure to me, being able to use the parlour

frivolity

Mary Cook’s Memories BY MARY COOK

again. It was as if I had never seen the room before! Of course, nothing had changed. The horsehair settee, the largest piece of furniture, sat kitty corner, and the twig table beside, still held the big family Bible, which was full of pieces of paper telling of births, deaths, and marriages. And even though I loved to look at the Bible, it held a bit of terror for me, too. Because pressed between its pages were several dried up flowers, taken right off the casket of a departed relative. Nobody seemed to know whose casket they came from, and that alone was enough to cause goose bumps on my arms, as my fervent mind pictured some poor departed soul who was right there in the parlour with me. Just like before a Saturday night

house party, it took a couple of days for the odors of the closed-up parlour to smell, as Father called it “decent.” To me it smelled like old wet galoshes, and then there were the mothballs. Mother put an ample amount of them all over the room, and I could never understand if it was to cover the moldy smell, or to keep away the moths, which we always seemed to have in great abundance. Mother tucked them into the crevices of the settee, they sat on the twig table, and I even found some under the braided rug by the one sitting-chair in the room. Of course, there would be dust everywhere. And so it was my job to wipe the furniture and take the whisk to the cushions, and generally try to bring the parlour back to whatever grandeur it had.

And the parlour was not considered a room for frivolity! Games were never to be played in it, and any roughhousing was absolutely out of the question. On the walls were pictures of those who had passed on. Big oval pictures of stern faces looking like they carried the cares of the entire world on their shoulders. I often wondered, as I looked on them with awe, if they had ever smiled even once during their long lives. One frame held someone’s braided hair, worked into a semi circle, with a small tin-type picture underneath it. willies

That picture gave me the willies, and I did everything in my power to keep my eyes averted from it when I was in the parlour. Mother didn’t like it any better than I did and once she told Father she was going to get rid of it. Father looked like he had been struck with a plank and said the hair in the frame had been there long before he was born and that’s where it would be staying. Mother asked him whose hair

it was and he had no idea, but nonetheless, it was not to be taken down. And so it stayed and like the dried flowers pressed in the family Bible, put a chill in the parlour for me that even the hot summer days couldn’t erase. And it was in the parlour that we five children sat when we settle down with a book from the Renfrew Library. Never were we allowed to read at the kitchen table, just in case a crumb or a spot of butter got on a page, and we would have to pay for the book when we took it back. I was always glad when the parlour was opened after the long winter and it was a place to read, settled down on the horsehair settee, which was as hard as a board. It was a small room, and when I sat there alone with my library book, even though the pictures on the walls gave me pause, it was a place where I could escape into a fantasy world, lost in the pages of my book from the Renfrew Library.

New BPH release

Is there a Canadian sense of humour? How can we write with more humour? And what can humour writing teach us about ourselves? These are questions explored in What’s So Funny? Lessons from Canada’s Leacock Medal for Humour Writing - Ottawa writer Dick Bourgeois-Doyle’s personal review of the books that have won our country’s premier award for humour writing. A text with a twist, the book was recently released by Burnstown Publishing House. Bourgeois-Doyle has contributed to many books, articles, TV features, and radio programs on the history of science and creativity in Canada. His biographies of heroic Canadians have been dubbed “fascinating and inspiring - thorough and engaging” and been celebrated by reviewers in Canada and abroad. A former chief of staff and director of communications to the Minister of Science and Technology, he currently serves as Secretary General of the National Research Council of Canada. What’s So Funny? Lessons from Canada’s Leacock Medal for Humour Writing (ISBN 978-1-77257-0908, 268 pp., $22.95) is available at www.burnstownpublishing.com or by calling 613-509-1090.

Renfrew Girl Guides lend a hand with Pitch In The Renfrew Girl Guides celebrated Earth Day by pitching in and cleaning up a few blocks of the walking trail along Jennet Street. In conjunction with local Pitch In efforts, the girls found lots of garbage and filled several bags, helping to make the Town of Renfrew a cleaner place. “As leaders, we feel it is a great way to give back to the town for all the support they have given us, as well as teach the girls of all age groups (Sparks, Brownies, Guides, Pathfinder and Rangers) how important it is to use the garbage cans provided and not litter,” says a press release.

Eleven tables competed at Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre May 18. The afternoon was marked by three successful grand slam contracts of seven clubs. Enjoying this infrequent achievement were the pairs of Ruth Grant/Mary McCann, Ernie Berndt/Eric Brown and Ed McCann/Lew MacDonald. The bridge afternoon also saw two small slam contracts in six clubs. The duos of Audrey Jukes/ Mona Brydges and Ed McCann/ Lew MacDonald brought home these contracts. Kudos to all five pairs. Congratulations to the May 18 winners: North-South First : Dan Baran and Jeannie Yagminas; Second: Ruth Grant and Mary McCann; Third: Bev Kobus and Ian Scott.
