News - “I’m overwhelmed by the reception I’ve gotten from the community and the hospital,” says the latest physician to be recruited by the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village (RAHSV). While meeting with a small gathering of hospital officials, invited guests and media May 22, Dr. Bill Blaine spoke about his Ottawa Valley roots and the three-pronged duties he will have at Renfrew Victoria Hospital. The RAHSV team has recruited eight doctors since its campaign kicked into gear in 2010 to help address physician, and in particular, family physician, shortages in the Renfrew area. The goal is to recruit 14. Dr. Blaine, who turns 38 in June, is replacing anesthesiologist Dave Johnson. who retired about a year ago. He will also work in the emergency department and is expected to be a pivotal part of the chronic pain clinic. Given the extremely long waiting list at the Ottawa Hospital, RVH is looking to open the satellite clinic in the near future. “I hope we can take steps over the summer to make that (clinic) a reality,” said Dr. Blaine. “I think it’s really important to the community.”
Renfrew Victoria Hospital’s manpower plan indicates a clear need for anesthesiology, said Randy Penney, the hospital’s chief executive officer. “I’m excited to be part of the surgical team and the emergency department,” said Dr. Blaine. “You’ve got some really first-class people.” Dr. Blaine, who has worked part-time at RVH for several months, will start full-time in July 2014. “It seems almost anti-climactic, because we have seen the benefits that Bill has brought to the community already,” said Penney. He and wife Jennifer Andress – who are expecting their first child this summer – have bought a house in Dacre. Blaine’s primary focus will be in the operating room as part of surgical services. Blaine, who grew up in Carleton Place, received his bachelor of physical education from Brock University in 1999. He later received medical degrees from Australia’s Flinders University, the University of Western Ontario and Queen’s University. Prior to coming to RVH, he practised anesthesia, emergency medicine, family medicine and inpatient medicine in Almonte. See NEW DOCTOR, page 2

Cooper Brown tops leaderboard Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com
Sports - Cooper Brown’s freshman year with the Wallace State Community College Lions of Hanceville, Ala., had a finish that even he thought was next to impossible. Brown finished the regulation 72 holes with rounds of 71-76-75-71 in a tie for the lead at five-over par 293 at the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Division I Men’s Golf championship at the Spirit Hol-
low Golf Course in Burlington, Iowa May 13 to 16. Brown was tied with Midland (Texas) Community College’s David Wicks before the Renfrew Collegiate Institute graduate broke the deadlock on the first extra hole. Brown didn’t allow nerves to get the better of him. He calmly holed a 12-footer while Wicks came up just short in his bid to again draw even. The win also allowed the Lions to finish the championship in second place as a team. See BROWN, page 33

Festival of Family needs more community support Steve Newman Steve.newman@metroland.com
STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND
News - The third annual Festival of Family comes to Renfrew on Saturday, July 19, but the expanded program will require more hands on deck. That’s the word from Mel Blimkie and Christina Ouellet, co-chairs of the Renfrew Business Improvement Area (BIA) and downtown business owners. Instead of one stage, there will be two, in addition to a new 25-vendor garage sale in the parking lot behind Scotiabank, and a new parent-to-parent vendors’ sale of children’s clothing and toys next to the bank, on Renfrew Avenue East. The BIA’s budget is $8,500, with some costs to be absorbed by the $10 fees for vendors. “We’re trying to make it a big event, so we’re looking to appeal for some help to assist with the organization before the event and on the day of the event,” said Blimkie of the 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. festival. On-site attractions will include a bake sale, buskers, bounce castles and Beavertails, including Beavertails’ famous, found-in-Renfrew-County, Killaloe Sunrise. There will also be street entertainment, a petting zoo, downtown merchants’ street sales, magicians and refreshment stands. “We’re looking to appeal to a whole gamut of ages,” added Blimkie, noting there will be a
picnic area in Low Square. The festival will also coincide with the NHA/NHL Birthplace Museum’s guided tours, fundraising barbecue and Raglan Street ball hockey in front of the museum’s home at the post office. There will also be a street dance at 3 p.m. One stage will be dedicated to youth in front of Scott & Sons Hardware, as organizers seek several residents or visitors to display their talents in front of friends, family and other spectators. The senior stage will be set up in front of the Golden Age Activity Centre. There will also be adjustments to the format last year, when most of Raglan Street was closed to vehicular traffic. This year, Raglan will be closed from Renfrew Avenue West (at the post office) to Duke Street. Blimkie and Ouellet say they need help from the community, especially students, to volunteer their time and talent. Their time could be as a performer on stage, but the co-organizers say they also need help with event preparation, including the distribution of posters, from community youth and business people. “It’s a great day to ring the kids, grandparents, all family members,” said Ouellet. “There will be fun for all.” With additions for the third Festival of Family, said Blimkie, “This isn’t just geared to youngsters. We’re just trying to do something fun for all ages and get people downtown.” To volunteer call Blimkie (613433-9925) or Ouellet (613-432-8300).

The surgical program at RVH runs weekdays with six to 10 procedures daily in addition to after-hours emergency surgery. The hospital staffs the equivalent of nearly two full-time anesthesiologists and brings in others when required. “We’re very pleased that Dr. Blaine will bring this high calibre of expertise to our communities,” said RAHSV chair Raye-Anne Briscoe. Municipal and community support includes financial incentives from the Renfrew Industrial Commission and Renfrew Home Hardware Building Centre. There’s also annual funding of more than $25,000 each
from Renfrew and the townships of Admaston-Bromley, Horton and Greater Madawaska. Briscoe said the health services village will continue to attract physicians of Dr. Blaine’s calibre to give the community the kind of healthcare that will also attract new business and retain existing ones. Dr. Blaine indicated medical environment wasn’t the only enticement to come to the area. “Randy’s got a real vision for the future and a commitment to providing for the needs of the community,” said the area’s newest doctor. “And it’s special, because not every rural hospital has that kind of foresight.” Also, Dr. Blaine, who has duck hunted around Cobden,
said, “I’m an outdoorsman and Renfrew is a playground.” MPP John Yakabuski jestfully noted Dr. Blaine should have no trouble making the transition from Lanark County, just as health services village chair Raye-Anne Briscoe did many years ago. On a congratulatory note, the MPP added, “There is so much progress and forward thinking and moving ahead that’s happening here all the time, that it gives us great confidence to know that we’re going to have firstclass healthcare not just today, but well into the future.” Meanwhile, RAHSV’s physician recruitment continues. Business development officer Norm Lemke says serious discussions are underway with at least four family physicians.
Cobden Book Tree release June 11 Township of Whitewater Region
News - Cobden will be joining four other Renfrew County communities on June 11 at 11 a.m. as a Book Tree is installed in front of the municipal office on Main Street. Book Trees are already installed in Arnprior, Killaloe, Petawawa and Pembroke. These five trees were made possible from an Ontario Ministry of Children and Youth Services-Community Action Research and Innovation Funds grant through the County of Renfrew Best Start
Network. Independently-funded Book Trees are in development in Deep River and Bonnechere Park. Westmeath and several other Renfrew County communities have also indicated they are very interested in developing an installation. The Book Tree Project is based on the model The Book Forest, which was developed in Berlin, Germany in 2006. The Renfrew County Book Tree Project is the first of its kind in Canada.

News – It appears plans to declare park space on Patrick Avenue and Mayhew Street as surplus property and rezoned for residential development won’t happen. More than a dozen Renfrew residents attended the May 21 planning advisory committee meeting armed with reasons to leave the green space open to local wildlife, adults and children. The residents attended the meeting anticipating the worst, but rounds of applause broke out twice during the nearly two-hour meeting, when committee members voted to turn down plans to rezone the park spaces. Committee members Jolan Horvath, Andrew Evans and Jeanette Songolo cast their votes against the rezoning. Chairman Jim Miller didn’t vote, since he only votes in the case of ties, while committee member John Stiefelmeyer did not attend. Mayhew Street resident Cindy left saying she’d sleep well that night. She was among several residents opposed to rezoning the property located near her home. The recommendations will go to the June 9 council session for a final decision. Both decisions are great, said Kean. “I think they heard us. They took
what we said to heart, and they have their own concerns,� said Kean, whose family has lived on Mayhew for eight years after moving from Oshawa where they lived across from green space. “Like one of the gentlemen (Andrew Evans) just said, he did actually drive by and look at our houses. He knows where we’re coming from,� said Kean. “It (green space) should be there. That’s what we bought into, in that subdivision,� said Kean, noting the family’s landscaping was done with the understanding the adjacent park would remain. “Kids these days need a place to play,� said Kean, adding that equipment should be added to the park to make it even more attractive for children. “I don’t know why you have subdivision agreements if you plan on changing them all the time,� she added. Other residents opposing elimination of Mayhew Street’s green space included Chad Scerba, who says his family bought in the area largely because of the park’s proximity. If the parkland was eliminated, he said his seven- and nine-year-old sons and other local children would have to cross the busier streets of Hall or Gillan to access other park space. The properties were examined by the town’s senior management team and council reviewed the potential surplus lands twice before voting to declare

Book Tree From page 2
The objective of the project is to create a tool to promote literacy in the community. The Book Tree is an interactive outdoor display, allowing children and adults the opportunity to drop off gently-loved books, pick up free books and track registered books travelling from tree to tree and home to home using the international book sharing site www. bookcrossing.com The Book Tree is also a great way to enhance municipal tourism and improve our streetscape. Each installation will also feature an educational opportunity about how logging plays an integral role in the Ottawa Valley’s economic development. The majority of the Book Trees have been constructed by Mike Graham of Calabogie Rustic Furniture using native tree species from his managed forest. Learn more at www. facebook.com/TheBookTreeRC

$5,000 for trail upgrades News - George Jackson Toyota has donated $5,000 to upgrade and beautify the CN trail in Horton Township. This six-kilometre segment of the trail runs from the Town of Renfrew line to Yantha Road, at the border of McNab-Braeside. In 2013, the Whitewater Sno-Goers Association successfully applied for a grant to upgrade the sections of the CN trail that are within Horton’s boundaries. “Horton Township is very appreciative of their efforts and is very fortunate to have these members take an interest in upgrading the trail,� said a Horton council news release. The recent contribution from George Jackson Toyota, which opened its new facility in Horton four years ago, will be used along with the grant money for significant trail upgrades.

Horton public works staff will provide, or has provided, labour to help the Whitewater Sno-Goers Association carry out general trail maintenance. This includes tree removal, brushing back of the trail, installation of gate structures at each road intersection, and minor work on approaches to bridges. There are also township plans to install benches and picnic tables for rest stops, similar to the Renfrew portion of the trail. “This trail is an important feature in Horton Township and provides a safe, scenic atmosphere to enjoy nature at its best, for young and old alike,� says the Horton council news release.

Several residents said the town hadn’t clearly indicated the properties were being considered for rezoning, to be made available as residential properties. In fact, some residents said a small sign posted by the town in McConnell Park was thought to be about spraying. When one teenager learned it was about the rezoning consideration, she helped collect signatures on a petition already started by resident Monica McNulty. The petition attracted about 475 signatures. If you’re getting almost 500 signatures, said committee member and councillor Evans, “It shows an awful lot of support for your cause, so carry on.� Following the two committee decisions, committee chairman Jim Miller said these suggestions came forward to be explored, and that is what happened.

Miller. “Working together we achieved what was done tonight, and that’s satisfaction for everybody.� McNulty, who started the pe-
about the possibility of the school closing. “At this point, there is no plan to close Opeongo High School, nor is there any plan to bring students from either of our feeder schools of Cobden or Eganville in, because it doesn’t necessarily improve the options of programming for students in Grades 9 to 12,� Havey explained. There are about 400 students at Opeongo, and Havey predicts it will be about 380 next year. “It’s hard to get a full-sized class of 25 in a school our size, for certain courses that students need for university, like calculus,� Havey said.
tition knowing her seven-yearold son frequents McConnell Park, said the park is used by many residents. “What can I say, it’s a beautiful park.� Another resident, Deb Enright, said the plan was misguided by identifying two potential residential properties for sale where many people play in the park and “make it hugely viable.� Resident Christina Ouellet said the town should also have been forthright in identifying those potential residential properties as part of McConnell Park, and not just as being located on Patrick Avenue. “Renfrew is very unique with the number of parks we have here,� said resident Doug Brookes. “Leave the damn parks alone, okay. There’s lots of land to be developed (elsewhere in town).� Residents also said McConnell Park doesn’t just attract residents, but wildlife too, including nesting turtles, ducks and blue herons.

News - Admaston-Bromley Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe says there are three important pillars people should know their family will receive when they move into a community – good health care, recreation and education. The focus was on education May 14 as council heard a delegation from both the Renfrew County Roman Catholic School Board and Renfrew County District School Board (RCDSB). Catholic board chair and trustee Bob Michaud said, as of September 2014, a five-year phase-in will be complete and
all schools across the province will have full-day kindergarten. Funding will also allow for an extra classroom to be added to St. Michael’s Catholic School in Douglas. Expansion of the Admaston-Bromley Public Library is underway. The library board is heavily involved with the design, acting superintendent of eduction Mark Searson said. “We are sharing the library services and some of the recreation services. That’s a great partnership,� Michaud said. Principal John Freemark noted there are 166 students at the school. RCDSB chair Dave Shields said Admaston Public

In most Canadian municipal, provincial or federal elections, usually 40 per cent of eligible voters don’t cast a ballot. To Anita Law, who lives in Renfrew but grew up in England and the Cayman Islands, that is practically criminal. She will excitedly cast her ballot for the candidate of her choice in the June 12 provincial election. She won’t say for whom she’ll vote, but gladly talks about her new opportunity. “My opinion counts,� says Law, who became a Canadian citizen in May 2012. “I’m 42 years old and my opinion has never counted, electorally-speaking.� Law grew up hearing her mother say her own mother and grandmother stress the importance of voting because women died for that right. Law knows that didn’t happen in Canada, but the importance of voting is underlined, she says, when she hears girls are kidnapped in Nigeria because they want an education or that people die in other countries because they dare go to the polls. “We have the tendency of taking the privilege of voting for granted because there’s no real threat of it being taken away,� says Law. She says new Canadian citizens, especially those who have come from repressive parts of the world, embrace the chance to vote. Besides, the system doesn’t work unless we all participate, says Law. “Evil flourishes when good men do nothing. If you don’t participate, you can’t complain. You can’t have 40 per cent going out and voting for the other 60 per cent. It doesn’t work.� As a youngster, Law moved from the United Kingdom to the Cayman Islands where her dad took a banking job.

Afterschool Park Play At 42, Anita Law of Renfrew is voting for the very first time. She later returned to the UK as a university student, but because she didn’t have a permanent address she wasn’t allowed to vote. And back in the Caymans, technical quirks prevented her from voting, even though her brother and parents could. As a university student in 1997, she would have loved to have cast a vote as Tony Blair burst into power. See FIRST VOTE, page 6

PROVINCIAL ELECTION
Connected to your community
Green move means six candidates in riding News – As expected, there are six candidates vying to be elected MPP in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke on June 12. The last candidate to register just prior to the deadline May 22 was the Green Party’s Benjamin Wright. While he isn’t listed on the party’s list of candidates on its website as of press time, he is reportedly from the Ottawa area. He joins incumbent Progressive Conservative John Yakabuski of Barry’s Bay, Liberal Rod Boileau of McNab-Braeside, NDP’s Brian Dougherty of Arnprior, Ontario Provincial Confederation of Regions Party member Murray Reid of Admaston and Independent Chad BeckwithSmith of Cormac. Province-wide there are 616 candidates representing 20 political parties up for election in the 107 ridings. A complete list of candidates is available at the Elections Ontario website wemakevotingeasy.ca through a ‘Find Your Candidate’ quick link.
at the Cobden Agricultural Hall. The leaders of Ontario’s three main political parties will square off in a 90-minute televised debate on Tuesday, June 3. NDP Leader Andrea Horwarth, Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak and Liberal Leader Kathleen Wynne will participate in the live debate hosted by TVO’s Steve Paikin at the CBC Broadcast Centre in Toronto. The debate will get underway at 6:30 p.m. and will be broadcast live on CBC, CTV, CHCH, CPAC, Global, Sun News Network and TVO. Mike Schreiner, leader of the Green Party of Ontario, has expressed concern he was not invited to participate in the televised debate and this week’s Northern Ontario debate. He called for broader electoral reform in the wake of a Liberal pledge to bring ranked balloting to all municipal elections. “I strongly support electoral reform for municipal elections and will cooperate with other parties seeking such reforms. But shouldn’t we have fair elections at the provincial level too?� asked Schreiner in a news release. “It’s time to reconsider proportional representation for our legislature.� Electoral reform will eliminate the need for strategic voting, reduce negative campaigning, and ensure every vote counts, say the Greens.
ALL-CANDIDATES FORUMS

The Renfrew County branch of the Returning officer Lewis MacDonald, who is Secondary School Teachers of Ontario overseeing his third provincial election in the is hosting an all-candidates debate for riding, says he is still looking for more workthe riding’s six candidates Wednesday, ers to help on election day. The returning office June 4. The forum will be held at 7:30 p.m. at Opeongo High School between Cobden and Douglas. An all-candidates session, hosted by the Renfrew County unit of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, was scheduled to be held Tuesday, May 7
will be training poll clerks, information assistants and deputy returning officers for polling stations around the riding right up to election day, June 12, he notes. Anyone interested in working for Elections Ontario election day should call 1-866-5323174. ADVANCE POLLS
Advance poll locations will open this Saturday, May 31 and continue to Friday, June 6. The polls will be open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Locations in the south end of the riding include the Arnprior Shopping Centre, Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church in Renfrew and the Renfrew satellite office in the former George Jackson Toyota building in Renfrew. VOTE AT HOME
MacDonald reminds voters with mobility problems that they can request an election official visit to let them vote at home. The special ballot option is one of several initiatives to ensure everyone can vote, he explains. In that vein, special ballot voting continues at the riding returning offices in Pembroke and Renfrew daily until Wednesday, June 11 at 6 p.m. All Ontarians on the voters list should have received or will receive a Notice of Registration card in the mail in the next week. The voters card will list the voting location for election day, and dates, times and places of the advance voting locations. Voters should ensure they bring their Notice of Registration Card.
EOWC’s three questions News - In light of the June 12 provincial election and pressing concerns for the ratepayers across its 103 rural municipalities, the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (EOWC) has developed three global questions for election candidates vying to represent the region’s many municipalities. The EOWC is inviting candidates across rural Eastern Ontario to recognize the region’s priorities and concerns, to respond to them publicly, and to incorporate these issues into their own election campaigns. “The EOWC wants to get the message out to election candidates: municipalities have given the Province a decade to accept responsibility for its own costs – and, as we know, Eastern Ontario has little capacity to raise revenue, in terms of both income and property,�
said EOWC chairman Jean Paul St. Pierre. “Infrastructure funding cannot come at the expense of uploads or new downloads that increase other costs. You cannot rob Peter to pay Paul,� added St. Pierre. This strategy is primarily based on the EOWC’s 2014 priorities, which were presented to provincial ministers during the recent ROMA/OGRA Conference. The requests include stable, predictable funding for roads and bridges. The EOWC has worked closely with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario on this strategy and, as a result, believes all the issues and concerns of rural Eastern Ontario are represented under these three questions to provincial candidates: 1. Will you honour the upload agreement and reject downloading? 2. What is your plan for Eastern Ontario’s roads and bridges? 3. How will you promote more affordable emergency services?

“There was this huge, big change from the Conservative party to the Labour Party, which hadn’t happened in decades, so I was interested and involved,� recalls Law. “I was frustrated and disillusioned (that I couldn’t vote).� Law suggests there should be fewer obstacles en route to the ballot box. In fact, she says voting should be required, as it is in Australia where nonvoters are fined. In Law’s household, she has told her daughter Zoey it’s important to stand up and ask questions that affect your own well-being. “She’s only seven, but she probably understands more about the electoral process and why it’s important than most second graders,� says Law. Law, who has a journalism degree and works as community relations manager at Chartwell-Quail Creek Retirement Residence, says: “I’ve always been a news junkie and followed different electoral campaigns, and always played a part by saying to friends and family: Have you voted? “And if they say they’re not going to, I have tried to convince them that it is their responsibility to vote.� Just as Law will gladly vote for the very first time.

GRAND ROUNDS
The patient experience ratings of overall care are all based on patient perceptions to help identify the highest performing hospitals in the province. Being at the top of the charts in this survey is a welcome pat on the back for our nursing professionals, and it shows that the relationships with our patients always take priority.
“To receive this respect from our community is such a credit to our staff from all disciplines,” comments RN Erin Prentice. “We know we treat our patients as we too would like our families and ourselves to be treated and this survey is a good marker showing our staff that we are providing that type of care.”
Exceptional patient satisfaction ratings for RVH Treating our patients as we would want to treat our own loved ones has earned Renfrew Victoria Hospital one of the highest accolades in health care—the endorsement of our patients and their families. Patients often feel compelled to send in notes and cards of appreciation to sing their high praises for the care they themselves or their loved received during their stay. No gesture goes unnoticed for one local family who describes RVH as their “five-star hospital.” They have witnessed a great deal of high quality care towards fellow patients and their families over the years of visits to nearly every department for care of their daughter.
“The nurses are phenomenal; they give us great advice, the doctors are very caring; radiation technicians and lab employees are also great. All of our needs and questions are met with great patience. I cannot tell you how valuable these people have become in our lives at this time,” they share in a recent letter. The most recent results from the National Research Corporation Canada’s Patient Experience Surveys show that this particular family isn’t alone in their approval. For the second year in a row, RVH has been ranked as one of only 12 hospitals in the 90th percentile among inpatients who would recommend the hospital to their family and friends.
Nancy Dunn, Debbie Miller, Amy Madigan and Sandra Robinson are all smiles after hearing the survey results. R0272121695

Learning to be great again Opinion - It’s time Ontarians got the plan for the future they deserve, and one they can be proud of. A large number of democratic election campaigns focus on the challenges facing the populace that happens to be voting at the time -- only a handful have the luxury of deciding what to do with good fortune. Politicians direct their energy towards any number of issues: health care, education, energy, crime, immigration, the economy. The priority depends on the point of view. Incumbents tend to take a longer view, as think they’ve done a good job up until now and want to look to the horizon to see what other great things can be accomplished. Those who sit in opposition or are seeking office look for the things gone wrong or the things they feel the public is clamouring for. In Ontario, much of this year’s campaign has been focusing on the province’s economy and how it can be put back on the path to prosperity. Some want to spend their way to success, others want to cut back spending to return the good times to the province. The deficit and debt play a significant role in the conversation, with each party pledging to put Ontario back in the black sometime in the near future. What most of these schemes lack is a focal point, something basic within the mandate of a
provincial government on which to rebuild our society from the smoking crater it now finds itself in. What should Ontario’s next government focus on to make this a good place to live? The answer should be academic: education. The benefits of a sound education system are numerous, but there are several reasons why it should be a priority for the province. First, in order to continue the transition away from a manufacturing-based economy, education becomes much more vital for the residents of Ontario. Arresting the decline in Education Quality and Accountability Office standardized mathematics scores in particular, so important in fields such as engineering, medicine, information technology and financial services, should be among the top priorities. Second, a more educated population not only earns more and therefore pays more taxes (helping reduce the deficit), but is attractive to investors looking to start up a business or international firms looking to set up shop. Third, a focus on education can only help encourage those who may lack the skills or training to find a job get back in the learning habit. A culture of education can beget more education. If there’s one thing you should be asking candidates who come knocking on your door in the next couple weeks, it should be: “What’s your plan for education?�
COLUMN
Words of wisdom, humour bring smiles to customers and passersby Opinion - It’s little wonder I usually have more than one notebook on the go. It’s typical of a journalist to have a place to note forgotten chores, details of a news event, or things to do before the day is done. At least two of my notebooks also contain sayings copied from the billboard at Schauer Home Hardware Building Centre in Cobden that I drive past a few times each month. Inevitably, the sayings evoke smiles, a scratch of the head or nodding agreement. The sayings are there every day, regularly updated and regularly challenging or amusing. At least they are to me and, by the author’s admission, to many people who do their shopping at the Cobden hardware store owned by Don, Doug, Joan and Keith Schauer. The author is Doug, who has posted the sayings for about six years. “I’ve always liked a play on words. I’ve always liked satire,� says the fan of The Simpsons and Mad Magazine, for their satirical content. From Homer Simpson, he recalls stealing a few sayings, like, “Beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder.�

STEVE NEWMAN Steve’s Sixth Sense The range of Schauer’s posted quotes are impressive, as well as refreshing, in a day when society seldom seems to take an easy breath for reflection. His sayings are borrowed, stolen, paraphrased or self-created, and he quickly credits his surroundings for inspiration. “I grew up with a lot of older gentlemen who inspired me,� he says, noting the most influential, for providing a song or a saying, was Ross Eckford, one of the Schauer family’s employees in the window and door factory. “When I was a kid he always had a story to tell,� says Schauer, now 62.

Alex.â€? As far as Mother Nature, he recalls such sayings as: “Six months snow flies, six months blackflies,â€? and “Winter’s not a sign, it’s an occupation.â€? As for humour, there’s no shortage, with the likes of: • Always drink upstream from the herd; • Cobden has no village idiot. We all take turns; • Slow down. Cops hide behind the sign; • Old hunters never die, they just reload; and • Even a broken watch is right twice a day. And, of course, how could he resist not trying to sell a thing or two. At Halloween one year, he wrote: “We have scream doors, all sizes.â€? Then there are times his sayings create pause for thought, as we search for the intended meaning of “If you plant lilacs, you will always be poor.â€? As Schauer admits, “People do call and ask, ‘What the heck does that mean?’ â€? See SIXTH SENSE, page 13

The Micksburg resident doesn’t remember the exact details behind the start of his regular billboard postings. But he says the sayings originated from the reality that there wasn’t always a special-sale item to advertise. He also keeps separate steno pads of special quotes, signs and sayings. The sayings aren’t just personal thoughts, but often just recognition of community members or events, like Enjoy the Taste of the Valley, Happy Easter or a reminder to give a pint at the blood donor clinic. Every spring, for example, he invites campers and seasonal residents back to the Upper Ottawa Valley. And every fall, he bids them farewell. Some sayings are his own, some come from readings, some are offered while sitting in the barbershop. Humour is at the root of many sayings, but so are death, advice, the weather, civic pride and local culture. When his brother died, the sign said, “Goodbye, Merrill.� When his dad passed away, it was, “So long,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Protest planned at all-candidates night To the editor: Opinion - The committee for Join the Fight Against Hydro Rates met again May 23. Because an election has been called, we have decided that concerned residents should now lobby the candidates that are campaigning in Renfrew Nipissing Pembroke. They are John Yakabuski, PC ; Brian Dougherty, NDP; and Rob Boileau, Liberal. You should also continue to write, phone and email our three party leaders, Tim Hudak, Kathleen Wynne and Andrea Horwath, to express your concerns, issues and objections to the hydro rate increases as well as the billing problems that continue to exist. We will continue to have the Join the Fight Against Hydro Rates forms in area businesses so that they are easily accessible to residents. There is an all-candidates debate scheduled at Ope-
ongo High School on Wednesday, June 4 at 7 p.m. We would like to see as many people as possible attend this meeting, with your protest signs to show your dissatisfaction. We are also going to try to present the candidates with the over 500 forms that have been received so far from unhappy Hydro One customers and have them explain to all of us, their party’s plan to change this unfair treatment of rural customers. If you have any thoughts or suggestions about how we can accomplish our goal, please contact John Hildebrandt, Box 388, 123 Hildebrandt St., Barry’s Bay, ON, K0J1B0, 613-756-0912 or email to: bhildebrandt@sympatico.ca

Time for voters to do own messaging To the editor: Opinion - Re: Maybe time for Renfrew to change tax-rate approach, Page 1, May 22, 2014. If you ever wondered what you get for $131,960.34 in Renfrew, well, you got your answer in the May 22 paper. Our esteemed treasurer Keray O’Reilly, a proud member of the Sunshine List, thinks it would be better public relations to raise taxes but call them something else, special levies. Really. This is the attitude of the brain trust at the Renfrew town hall and it is simply outrageous and completely unacceptable.
We have very high tax rates and our water rates are sky-high. There is no talk in the administration or on council of controlling the spiralling costs of operating the town. Instead of concentrating on improving our infrastructure and keeping rates affordable, the supposed leaders in Renfrew just want to spin the information to make it more palatable to the poor, dumb public. It’s a communication problem, as councillor Tom Anderson said recently. He seemed to be saying that people are getting fed misleading information,
that they weren’t getting the message. Well, perhaps it’s time for us, the voters of Renfrew to do some messaging of our own. Maybe we should be asking why we continue to dodge more and more potholes in our crumbling streets while council hands out handsome raises to people like Mr. O’Reilly (7.77 per cent last year) and buys an $860,000 fire truck for the $123,056-a year fire chief to polish. Why do we have a fulltime fire department with huge salaries, fabulous benefits, and shiny new toys, when other similar-
sized municipalities do just fine with volunteer fire departments? Does anyone on council have the courage to ask the tough questions? Apparently not. So let’s put some people in there who will put the town and its citizens first. We have an opportunity to make real, substantive change to the way things are run in Renfrew. I hope people will embrace this chance to do something positive for the town. It’s our home. It deserves better leadership. Stan Russell Renfrew

Wasn’t that a gala Pipeline proponents
Sandi Heins Renfrew
welcome public input To the editor: Opinion - I am happy to announce that TransCanada’s Energy East Pipeline project crossed a key milestone recently with the filing of the project’s description to the National Energy Board of Canada (NEB). The filing is the first step in the formal regulatory process for TransCanada to receive the necessary approvals to build and operate the $12-billion project that will allow Eastern Canadian markets to access a less expensive and more stable supply of crude oil from Western Canada. The Energy East Pipeline project involves converting approximately 3,000 kilometres of existing natural gas pipeline in our Canadian Mainline between Alberta and Eastern Ontario to crude oil service
and building approximately 1,600 kilometres of new pipeline to access refineries and export terminals in Quebec and Saint John, New Brunswick. Energy East is anticipated to be in service in 2018. We invite the public to obtain more information by visiting our website at energyeastpipline.com or by calling 1-855-8958750. Steve Pohlod President, Energy East Pipeline

and reflect on that great summer job experience. It was so nice to see so many people from our community and area attending and supporting this event. Community Living is a special part of this great community. It was so unfortunate that the mayor of Renfrew was unable to don the chair of office and take 10 minutes to attend and join in the celebration of this evening that was so very important to so many. We need to embrace the opportunity to recognize the organizations of our community that are an important part of our town. Despite that, we danced the night away! Wasn’t it a gala! Congrats, Community Living Renfrew County South, on 50 years! Kindest regards,

To the editor: Opinion - Congratulations to Community Living Renfrew County South on the 50th anniversary gala evening of Friday, May 23 at the Renfrew Armouries. Renfrew’s own celebrity – Sarah Freemark – was an energetic-spirited emcee that got the crowd warmed up to dance the night away to the music of Ambush. The evening gala was a magical celebration; a wonderful tribute of 50 years to the clients, staff and board of Community Living Renfrew County South. Everyone looked just awesome so dress up for the gala. The whole evening was amazing. Hats off to the organizing committee — it was a classy-plus event! As one of the two very first summer students hired in the summer of 1976 with ARC Industries (as it was known back then), I was delighted to have been asked to say a few words

Mary has desperate wish to wear a slip Lifestyle - My sister Audrey said you had to be a certain age before you were old enough to wear a slip. I could never understand the reasoning behind that rule. Surely, if you could see your underpinnings through your dress, you needed a slip! And I told her so too. The winter clothes had been packed away, and the summer wear was out. “Well,� Audrey explained, “children your age don’t wear sheer dresses, and so you don’t need a slip.� I mentally pictured my scant summer wardrobe. The only dresses I owned were two Dan River Cottons I wore to church or for very special occasions. Whereas Audrey had at least three dresses, one of a lacy fabric that had come in the hand-medown box from Aunt Lizzie, and one Mother had made from an organza piece of material that was on sale at Walker’s Store in Renfrew. Another dress, which she often wore to the Northcote School was a light material, and if she stood in a doorway, or the sun caught it just the right way, without a slip you would certainly see her underpinnings. She definitely needed a slip for all three of them! But how I longed for a slip! Now, part of it, I knew, was because there was a saying back in those days, that if a girl’s slip was showing, you quietly went up to her and said, “It’s snowing down south,� and she immediately went and did something about her slip peeking beneath her hemline. I was very impressed when I heard someone say that to another girl in the schoolyard. That, to me was a sure sign of growing up. How I longed for a slip. The best thing to do was to talk it over with Mother. She said Audrey
the white stockings would forever remain a dream. But owning my first slip, I thought, wasn’t being that unreasonable. And then one morning I came down from our bedroom and Mother was, as usual, standing at the Findlay Oval stirring the porridge in the big white pot. She snapped the ladle against the side of the pot and put it on a saucer on the reservoir, and told me to go to her bedroom and bring out what was there. The bed was neatly made with the Log Cabin quilt pulled up over the pillows (bedspreads were unheard of in our house), and there was something folded in the centre of the bed. I picked it up, and it was a slip! A real slip! I tore to the kitchen like someone possessed and asked Mother if it was for me. “Well, it’s too short for Audrey, and I doubt your brothers would be wanting to wear it,� Mother said. I was already dressed for school, but there was no way another day was going to pass without my wearing a slip. I wasn’t in a dress, but had on a cotton skirt made out of one of Uncle Jack’s dress shirts, and a blouse that once belonged to Audrey. I tore upstairs and in jig time came down with the slip on next to my bare skin and underpants, and with the blouse
was right, that you needed a slip if you were wearing something that could show your underpinnings... but she also said it had nothing to do with how old you were. That was wonderful news to me. And I set out trying to make a bargain with Mother. If I did extra chores on Saturday, washed my underwear out every night without being asked, and promised to try to have only pleasant thoughts when it came to bad Marguirite, would Mother consider letting me have a slip? The last promise I knew, would be the hardest to keep! Mother said to let her think about it. That meant no more discussion on the subject until she brought it up. Like so many times when I longed for something that was out of my reach, I couldn’t get owning a slip out of my mind. Like the little wood pencil box my friend Joyce had...with a green palm tree painted on the outside, and a lid that slid open by using your thumb nail, and it swivelled to show a place for pencils, and even a little dent for your art gum. Or the short white stockings bad Marguirite wore to school with a tiny row of lace around the cuffs. Wanting the pencil box or
and skirt back on. Mother had made it at night, when we children were in bed, and the steady clack-clack of the old Singer sewing machine could be heard downstairs almost every night, but I never knew what creation Mother was working on. And here, last night, she had sewn me my first slip. It was made of white broadcloth, a luxury to be sure. It was a few inches shorter than my skirt, and had wide straps, not like Audrey’s slip which had little slides you could move up and down to shorten or length it. But I was so thrilled, I could hardly wait to get to the Northcote Side Road where my friend Velma would be waiting for me to walk to school, and tell her what I had on under my skirt. I also told Joyce, and we went behind the outhouse at recess so that I could lift my skirt and show them my new slip. I would love to have let the whole school know...the girls at least, but of course I wouldn’t dare be that forward. No, I just had to live with keeping it to myself and my two best friends. Of course, I couldn’t wear it under my slacks, or shorts, and as it got warmer, it stuck to my skin, so I started only wearing it to church. It didn’t take long for the novelty of owning a slip to wear off. And it stuck to my dress or my skirt. To be honest it became quite a nuisance. And besides, since Mother had made it so much shorter than my skirts or dresses, not one soul sidled up to me and said “Mary, it’s snowing down south.� So, if no one knew I was even wearing a slip, what was the point of having one on?

Construction of new nephrology centre underway at RVH Renfrew Victoria Hospital
News - The site of a crane towering over the rooftop of Renfrew Victoria Hospital is proof positive that construction of the new state-of-theart Regional Nephrology Centre is well underway. Taplen Construction of Ottawa arrived on site March 31 to begin laying the groundwork for the 23,000-square-foot addition at the
back of the emergency department. This is the largest expansion in the 115-year history of RVH. The official plan, carefully developed by architect Brian Dickey based on research and experience and with input from RVH staff, will see the relocation of hemodialysis treatment, the pre-renal insufficiency clinic, diabetes education, and all nephrology-related services under one roof.
With the arrival of the crane the first week of May to do the heavy lifting, the steady progress from week to week is exciting to watch. To date the foundation footings are 80 per cent complete, foundation walls are 60 per cent complete and have been waterproofed, and elevator shaft footings have been poured to basement level, all on track for a target completion date of fall 2015.

Renfrew Victoria Hospital laboratory receives top accreditation marks News - A recent assessment resulted in a high conformance rating of 97.38 per cent for the RVH laboratory in meeting Ontario Laboratory Accreditation (OLA) and ISO 15189 requirements and generally accepted principles of good practice. The Quality Management Program–Laboratory Services (QMPLS), operated by the Ontario Medical Association and funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health and LongTerm Care, is dedicated to improv-
ing patient safety through the OLA accreditation program. The accreditation process assesses the quality of lab test results and formally recognizes that tasks are being performed in a reliable, credible and accurate manner that meets national standards of excellence. The RVH laboratory assessment was based on 458 requirements and included all aspects of the testing process from the collection of specimens to the actual measurement and

reporting of results. In all, the threemember survey team reviewed 50 licensed tests in biochemistry, hematology, pathology and transfusion medicine. “The RVH laboratory staff plays a vital role in the health and safety of our patients,” says Randy Penney, RVH president and CEO. “Physicians rely on the findings of the many tests they perform each day to make important diagnoses and treatment decisions.”
Surveyor evaluations also confirmed that the RVH laboratory has excellent (100 per cent of standards met) organizational structure, personnel policies and management, quality assurance of laboratory examinations, Post-Analytical Process, laboratory information system, and safety in place. “I’d like to thank everyone who took part in the accreditation survey. I’m proud of our team and the combination of hard work, innovation
and commitment that is needed to achieve the accreditation standards,” says Dr. Julie Shaw, laboratory director. Based on the summary of survey findings, the RVH Laboratory has been granted four-year accreditation status. “Achieving four-year accreditation requires strong leadership, strong teamwork, dedication to quality and a lot of preparation,” says Penney. “Congratulations to staff on their accomplishment.”

Greater Madawaska considers vote by mail Slower start Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com
News - Greater Madawaska Township is looking at improving its voting methods for the Oct. 27 municipal election. The township has a good number of seasonal residents, many of whom, because of travel, are seldom in a position to vote. Council met this past Monday and was ex-
pected to approve a vote-by-mail bylaw for the fall election. If approved, council will enter into an agreement with Canada Post to provide the vote by mail services. The recommendation will allow seasonal residents to vote and make it easier for permanent ratepayers also. People who prefer to, would still be able to vote at the polling station on election day.

Snowy owl stays too late for comfort Lifestyle - Steve Dregas phoned Sunday afternoon to report a snowy owl was seen in the area behind the United Church on River Road. I immediately went down to see the bird and get a few pictures. Steve, daughter Ann and son David, had taken some pictures and were sure that snowy owls should not be this far south at the end of May. They were correct. The black birds were not pleased with the owl’s presence and chased it whenever it flew to a new perch. We thank the Dregas family for the news. UNUSUAL PLACE TO BUILD A NEST
Dave Recoski, owner of Dave’s Automotive, did not drive his truck from one day at noon until the following morning. When he went to go to work a robin flew out from underneath the truck. Dave checked to see what was going on and he found that the robin had built part of her nest on top of the exhaust pipe. Since the bird had not completed the nest Dave felt that it would build somewhere else when he moved his truck to drive to work. The bird was confused but did rebuild a few hours later. We have passed this warning on before but it is important to make sure that birds, especially robins, do not build nests on top of your outdoor floodlights. The lights produce enough heat to cause the dry grass in the nest to catch fire.
JIM FERGUSON Scene from the Hawk’s Eye
INDIGO BUNTING
Louise St. Laurent at Bryson had an indigo bunting arrive at her home May 23 at 7 in the evening. The bunting is a finch and will come to sunflower feeders. In words its song translates to: sweet, sweet, chew, chew, sweet, sweet at different pitches. The plumage is actually black but when sunlight shines through the feathers they appear blue. We had the good fortune to have a male appear at our feeder Sunday morning. There is no mistaking this species. UNUSUAL ROBIN
Carl Nichols at Calabogie had a partial albino robin at their home this week. There are patches of white feathers where there should be orange and black feathers. The missing pigments are usually caused by a close encounter with a cat, a genetic mutation or the lack of pigment producing nutrients in the bird’s diet. If you see this bird, please let us know. BITTERNS
The Guilbeaults saw three
American bitterns landing in a marsh on Lynch Road near Colton Lake. At first they thought it was three herons but when they saw the pictures they had taken they identified the birds as bitterns. The brown and tan plumage and the ability to remain rigid while swaying gently back and forth make them almost impossible to see. HOODED MERGANSERS
Carol McCuaig had hooded mergansers return to Poison Ivy Acres on May 17. The white fan-shaped crest of the male and the white breast with two black bars are the best field marks for this species. All mergansers have a crest and pointed bills and saw-edged mandibles. Their main food is small fish.
MOCKINGBIRD
Sheila Wallace saw and heard a mockingbird, the most prolific singer of the mimics, near her home. The continual chatter of repeated notes and phrases and the long tail and large, white under-wing patches are the best field marks. A MIXTURE
Ralph and Lynn Goodbody have a mixture of species at their home on the Foymount Road. Northern flickers, hummingbirds, male and female, a whippoor-will singing in the early morning, pairs bluebirds and a pair of chickadees nesting in one of their bluebird boxes are settling in for a summer of raising young. Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, RR5, Renfrew, Ont., K7V 3Z8. Phone 613-4322738 or email jamesh@ nrtco.net This snowy owl has stayed longer than usual.

WILSON’S SNIPE
Harold McLean saw a Wilson`s snipe on the Stone Road in Admaston-Bromley Township. It is unusual to see snipe in any other location other than wetlands. Their best field mark is a sound rather than colour. During their spring mating display the male will go into a steep dive and when air passes through his tail feathers it produces a winnowing sound

Avoid plastics and styrofoam near waterways Lifestyle - World Oceans Day Canada (WODC) urges the residents of Canada to avoid taking plastics and styrofoam containers to the beach. Both of these materials hurt birds and ďŹ sh. Winds inevitably pick up these light but harmful products from the trash containers and deposit them on the shores of our rivers and lakes. Eventually this trash makes its way to our oceans, doing further damage to our precious eco system. WODC encourages residents to bring reusable containers to parks and beaches. If plastics and Styrofoam must be used, putting them into a bag and tying it tight before depositing into trash containers will help keep them out of our waterways. WODC also encourages boaters to avoid using styrofoam bumpers on their boats and docks. A more durable material will not break down into thousands of harmful pieces. The “plastic soupâ€? mess in our oceans are
real and caused by humans. The recent massive garbage patches found while countries searched for the missing Malaysian plane is a wake up call to all of us. Together we have the power to protect our oceans. June 8 is World Oceans Day and June 1 to June 8 is Oceans Week in Canada. For more information, please visit www. World Oceans Day.ca where you will ďŹ nd Ocean Hero under the In Action tab. World Oceans Day was ofďŹ cially recognized by the United Nations as June 8 each year, beginning in 2009. The concept was proposed on June 8, 1992 by Canada at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and it had been unofďŹ cially celebrated every year since then as World Oceans Day. World Oceans Day Canada and World Oceans Week Canada were conceived by a few with passion in 2009. The board has grown to include experienced business and environmental residents from coast to coast.

News - Renfrew’s Paige Dillabough received a tremendous honour in Toronto May 14. The Renfrew Collegiate Institute student and cancer survivor was presented with the Ontario Medal for Young Volunteers by the Honourable David Onley, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario. The Ontario Medal for Young Volunteers acknowledges outstanding contributions made by youth volunteers across Ontario. It is also the highest honour a young person can achieve for their volunteer contributions to the province. Dillabough’s nomination came from the Glasgow Women’s Institute. The following is from her citation that was read during the investiture ceremony at Queen’s Park in the Lieutenant Governor’s Suite. PAIGE DILLABOUGH – RENFREW
Paige is a cancer survivor who was diagnosed at the age of eight with a malignant brain tumour. After undergoing years of treatment at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa, Paige wanted to find a way to give back. She held bake sales, made window art, and inspired her friends to design jewellery, all to raise funds for the children’s hospital. At Christmas, Paige convinced her friends and classmates to collect small, new toys and, after organizing a number of ‘stocking stuffing parties,’ arranged to have the stockings delivered to under-privileged kids in the area.
In high school, Paige became an active member of the Relay for Life team, which raises awareness and funds for cancer research. She also volunteers her time as a peer tutor for special needs students. Your Honour, Paige’s journey in life has had its share of mountains to climb. She is being recognized today for her commitment to overcoming those challenges and making a difference in the lives of other young people living with cancer. Her optimism and tenacity are truly evident in her favourite saying, “cherish your yesterdays, dream your tomorrows, but live your todays.” CHLOÉ ST. AMAND - PETAWAWA
Chloé St. Amand of Petawawa also received the Ontario Medal for Young Volunteers. Chloé was only in Grade 3 when she found her first opportunity to give back. When her school’s breakfast program suddenly ended, Chloé knew that many of her fellow students depended on the free meals each day. She motivated her classmates to petition the school and, thanks to their actions, the program was reinstated. She is passionate about sharing her love of music. She volunteers with the Pembroke Symphony Orchestra, as well other local musical groups, and serves as a peer music tutor for other young musicians in her community. Chloé is being honoured for her long-term dedication and commitment. She is the embodiment of the adage that one person truly can make a difference.

ELECT Brian Dougherty, NDP It is time for a government that stands up for middle class families to make life more affordable for them.
The NDP will - Take HST off hydro bills - Reduce auto insurance by 15% immediately - Raise the minimum wage to $12/hour - Invest in health care fundamentals and cut wait times in half. We can’t afford more Liberal mismanagement and broken promises, or a return to the bad old days when the Conservative ruined health care and public services.
Vote for the NDP - leadership that makes sense. To join Brian Dougherty’s team by taking a sign or helping, phone 613-633-1971 or, in Arnprior, 613-314-6235.

ONTARIO HONOURS AND AWARDS
Paige Dillabough receives her Ontario Medal for Young Volunteers from Lieutenant Governor David C. Onley.
Lifestyle - The Canadian Engineering Memorial Foundation is proud to present 12 scholarships in 2014, networking and career support opportunities to women studying engineering in memory of those who lost their lives at École Polytechnique on Dec. 6, 1989. The foundation honours the memory of the 14 women through its commitment to promoting engineering as a career option to women so that potential future engineers are engaged and encouraged to pursue a career as a P.Eng. These scholarships are made possible by the generosity of the foundation’s individual, corporate and faculty donors and provide more than just a financial boost - they provide the recipients with the confidence needed to continue on their career path. “I have been a volunteer and a scholarship judge for the Foundation for almost 20 years and each time I review the applications I am truly amazed by the successes, accomplishments and potential of each applicant,” says Deborah Wolfe, P.Eng., CEMF president. “It is so important that we work to ensure that women engineers have every opportunity to contribute to the future of Canadian society and that more young women consider engineering as a career through interaction with exceptional engineering students.” The scholarship recipients are selected based on their strong leadership skills and are honoured at the annual CEMF Networking and Awards Luncheon as well as in through the annual published informational booklet Faces of the Future. The eight-page booklet features each winner and is sent to universities, provincial associations, engineering societies, donors and stakeholders across Canada. Winners from across Canada also give at least one presentation to a high school level audience about engineering. Over 500 students a year are reached through this program. CEMF, a not-for-profit organization, is managed by Megram Consulting Services Ltd., an association management company based in Renfrew. For more information on the CEMF, its scholarships and programs, to find out how you can contribute or make a memorial or in memorandum donation, please visit www.cemf.ca or contact the foundation directly at 1-866883-2363, e-mail info@cemf.ca.

THANK YOU This is a heartfelt thank you to everyone. We, the family of Glen Bandy, knew what a kind caring man he was, but we can’t express how comforting it feels to have so many people have such kind words to say about our dad. We appreciate and thank all those who sent flowers, cards, emails, phone calls and donations, attended his funeral and just expressed their sorrow of his passing. We wish to express thanks and appreciation to the staff at Arnprior Hospital and Boyce’s Funeral Home for their care and professionalism. Thanks also to Rev. Julie Morton for her beautiful and sincere service with her personal touch. Life is so precious. We miss you, Dad. RIP
Thank you I sincerely appreciate and thank all my relatives and friends who attended my 80th birthday party at Quail Creek Retirement Home on Sunday April 27, 2014. Thank you as well for all the birthday cards and best wishes. A big thank you goes out to my four children and their spouses who planned and carried out the plans for my 80th birthday party. The highlight of my day was having my grandchildren in attendance and especially my great grandson, Malakai John Mayhew. It was a very happy occasion that I won’t forget. I also want to thank Quail Creek for the use of the sun room. Sincerely, Irene Mayhew CLR527354

School year countdown is finally on
Kingston’s Kyle Dine and his Let’s Go Nuts Tour were at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic School May 22. The countdown until the end of He made it fun for students to learn about food al- the school year is on. With less than a month of classes left, we are all getlergies.
Students ‘go nuts’ at St. Thomas Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com
Community - Kyle Dine has food allergies to eggs, fish, peanuts, all nuts and mustard. And you can throw in dogs and cats. But he has made the most of if. Armed with a guitar slung over his shoulder, an EpiPen on his belt, and a cast of zany puppets accompanying him, it is apparent Dine is no ordinary musician. Dine’s ‘Let’s Go Nuts’ Tour his appeared at more than 300 schools across North America, and you can add St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic School in Renfrew to that list. Dine visited St. Thomas May 22 for two performances, educating the students on what it’s like
to live with food allergies, and what they can do to help keep others with allergies safe. After growing up with multiple food allergies himself, Dine has a lifetime of stories and experiences that he shares with students while answering their questions. “It’s important to take all food allergies seriously,� Dine stressed to the students. “I can do anything anyone else can do. I just have to watch what I eat and bring my medicine (EpiPen),� the Kingston native added. While he can’t put mustard on any food, Dine makes up for it. “I love ketchup,� he told the students. Dine has had his food allergies since the age of two.

In addition, a newly released vision for education in Ontario titled Achieving Excellence supports the concept of student well-being as being critical to students being able to reach their full potential. Students who are resilient and better able to overcome challenges are more successful “The RCDSB’s character education committee is on the right path in addressing the need to create healthy, safer schools and to support the mental and physical health of our students,” Kaiser said. “The committee is a leader in the province in the promotion of student health and well-being.”

Paplinskie is currently in Grade 11 and calls Barry’s Bay her hometown.
As student trustee, Paplinskie plans on communicating with all the student councils of the Renfrew County District School Board regularly so she can “become knowledgeable of the students’ needs and desires.” She hopes she will have the opportunity to implement changes that cater to RCDSB students’ needs which will in turn “help foster a positive atmosphere in RCDSB schools.” Paplinskie’s term begins Aug. 1 following the completion of Fellowes High School Grade 12 student and current RCDSB student trustee Keith Sheppard’s 2013-2014 term.

Lifestyle - This year’s Grants for Student Needs (GSN) could help the RCDSB on several fronts. GSN is the funding provided by the Ministry of Education (MOE) that goes to school boards to cover core costs of educating student needs. The ministry announced the latest GSNs on March 27 and while actual dollar figures have not been announced yet there were several good-news stories to come out of the ministry’s communication that will directly affect Renfrew County students. Total GSN funding for the 2014-2015 school year is projected to increase by 3.1 per cent over 2013-2014 to $22.53 billion, in part, due to the full implementation of full-day kindergarten. In September 2014, the Renfrew County District School Board will offer full-day kindergarten in all of its elementary schools. Through the GSN announcement the ministry promises to address the historical special education funding inadequacy affecting public schools dating back to the 1990s. The MOE says the new High Needs Amount Allocation of the Special Education Grant will improve the discrepancies among boards. “While this funding is to be brought in gradually, it is reassuring to know the Renfrew County District School Board will benefit from a more equitably distributed special education grant,” RCDSB chairperson David Kaiser said. Annual funding earmarked for providing Mental Health Leaders to school boards is being moved into the GSN. This $8.76 million in funding supports the salary and benefits costs of one Mental Health Leader in each school board. Funding will be allocated through a separate component of the Learning Opportunities Grant. “This funding will ensure the RCDSB can continue to have a mental health leader available to its students and schools across the county,” said Kaiser. “This is a tremendous step forward to ensure the well-being of our students.” The MOE is making a significant new investment of $1.25 billion in School Condition Improvement funding over the next three years, with $250 million to be allocated in 20142015. “While the exact amount the RCDSB will receive for its school capital projects has yet to

Food sovereignty an important issue for all, says NFU representative Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com
National Farmers Union women’s vicepresident Marcella Pedersen visited Renfrew May 13.
News - “We are for all farmers, when it’s good for all farmers, it’s good for the common good of all people.� So said National Farmers Union women’s vice-president Marcella Pedersen. Pedersen has been touring Ontario, including Renfrew County, to speak on food sovereignty, local food and family farms, and the importance of engaging consumers to understand these issues. Pedersen farms near Cut Knife, Sask., raising bees and chickens with her daughter, husband, his brothers and a sister-in-law. She has been with the NFU since 1971. They run 400 hives right now, Pedersen said. They used to run 800, and hope to build back up to that number. As a reflexologist, Pedersen looks at food issues from both a health and farming prospective. Pedersen’s tour of Ontario included a stop in Renfrew. Her message is food sovereignty “People understand food safety, and some understand food security, but very few understand what food sovereignty is,� Pedersen said.
Food security is having enough food, and it is culturally correct. “Canada is food insecure because 80 per cent of food is imported and only 20 per cent is grown here. In other words, if there was a trucking strike or an airplane strike, or something, the shelves would be empty in three days,� Pedersen said. “So we are no longer food secure.� A couple of generations ago, the 80-20 ratio was the other way around. “Food sovereignty is adding an extra element,� Pedersen explained. “It’s adding who controls what you eat, and what you grow. We want food sovereignty that farmers decide what they want to grow, and that consumers decide what they want to eat, not the corporations telling us what they are going to grow, and what we are going to eat. That’s want we are facing right now. “To counteract that, we need consumers and people to buy locally, and grow their own food.� Pedersen said the knowledge and the skills for people to grow and prepare their own food has been lost, and needs to be regained. Pedersen suffered from eczema
for about 15 years, but a trip to Cuba on a two-week farm tour last winter cleared it up. She credits it was through the organically-grown sustainable food system Cuba is known for. Back home, she removed kalonji oil, and a few other things from her baking and diet, and the eczema problem was solved. “And then, they tell us it’s safe food,� Pedersen said. “Well, I’m sorry, but if I’m getting eczema, then it’s not safe.� People need to grow and prepare their own food, and buy locally, she stressed. The NFU has declared this the International Year of the Family Farm. “It’s to bring awareness that we need our small farms,� said Pedersen. When farmers only represent one or two per cent of the population, consumer support is needed to fight the big corporations, she said. “The NFU is non-partisan, but we are very political, because we are about making policies,� Pedersen said. “We are dealing with governments all across Canada.� An NFU membership costs $65 but is voluntary. Men, women and youth get an equal vote.

One main focus of the NFU is the opposing of Bill C-18, the Agricultural Growth Act omnibus bill. It increases corporate control of seed and increases farmers’ seed costs. “When you give more control to the corporations over your seed, they are controlling your food, again,� Pedersen said. Up until now, farmers were able to use and sell their own seed, and sell to their neighbours, noted Renfrew County NFU director Lauretta Rice. “With the patent rights, they won’t be able to do that. They’ll face very heavy restrictions.� “They want royalties every step of the way,� Pedersen added. Pedersen spoke of a documentary on food in the future entitled Symphony of the Soil. They poured water through four pop bottles. Each was different. Water was brown in the first, the result of erosion. The last bottle they showed, the water was clear and clean enough to drink. “That’s the way we should be going,� Pedersen said. “If the soil is good, then the food is good, then your health is good.� The National Farmers Union website is www.nfu.ca.

Continued from front
It was also the second consecutive year that a member of the Lions (Aksel Olsen) won the individual national title, and the Arnold Palmer Award that goes with it. Brown was also named an NJCAA All-American at the conclusion of the tournament, making him the 15th player during Lions coach Dan York’s 27 years at Wallace State to receive the honor. Brown didn’t put too much pressure on himself as he made the stroll to the first extra hole. “I thought, if I win, awesome, if I lose, I can’t be too upset with coming in second at the national championship.” TOURNAMENT-WINNING PUTT

VALLEY BYTES
Sports - Buoyed by a dramatic 1-0 victory, the St. Joseph’s Jaguars have captured their second consecutive Renfrew County junior girls soccer championship. Hannah Robertson headed home a crisp cross from Anna Holt in the second overtime half to give the Jaguars the 2014 title over the Bishop Smith Crusaders at Riverside Park in Pem-
broke May 22. The win followed St. Joseph’s 30 semifinal win over the Fellowes Falcons, attained on a pair of Holt markers, and a single from Cassie Cameron. Brittany Cabral’s flawless netminding performance included the two shutouts. Cabral allowed just one goal all season while the Jaguars scored 26 en route to an 8-and-0 record.
“As soon as I hit it, I knew I was on the right line. It was just a matter of it getting there,” he added of his championship-winning putt. “When it fell in, I figured David (Wicks) was going to make his, so I really didn’t get too excited about it. I was in disbelief that I put myself in a position that I was one putt away from winning the national championship.” Brown said he never really thought about winning until he stood on the 72nd tee of the four-day event. “I birdied 17 for a five-over total. I had a feeling I might be in this thing,” he recalled. “I had no idea what the leaders of the day shot. The 18th tee was the first time it hit me that I might have a chance to win it.” Back home in Renfrew, Brown may only now be getting a feel for what he was able to do. “I was in shock at first. I couldn’t believe what I had just accomplished. It’s still kinda new. I remember saying on the green, watching my parents walk down towards me, it was like, ‘I can’t believe I just won the national championship.’ ” Having parents Kevin and JoAnne there made it extra special. “It was awesome. It was pretty cool playing all year without them there and not winning anything, and then, they’re both there and I win my first college tournament, and it’s also a national championship.” Brown has one more year at Wallace State. Then he will be going off to a major college, ideally on a golf scholarship.

Let’s make cancer history
Provincial competitors
Cancer survivors make their way around the track at Ma-Te-Way Park to open Renfrew Collegiate Institute’s annual Relay for Life Friday night. When all was done, more than $79,000 was raised for the Canadian Cancer Society. Relay for Life, in memory of former RCI student Hillary Afelskie, has run from 7 p.m. on the Friday to 7 a.m. Saturday over its eight years. Starting in 2015, RCI Relay for Life will run from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on the Saturday at Ma-Te-Way Park.
Irene Power, left, and Cassandra Jones of the Renfrew Legion Auxiliary competed at the provincial darts championship in Highland Creek April 25. Jones placed third. To qualify for provincials, Jones won at both the zone and district levels held in Renfrew. Power finished in the top eight at the zone level and top six in the district, which also allowed her to compete in the provincial darts championship.
Ladies hoops ends regular season Rob Warren Ladies Spring Basketball League
Students not yet in high school were also contributing to the cause. There’s nothing like busting into a bag of cotton candy.
Sports - Starting the last night of Ladies Spring Basketball League 2014 regular season play, KL Plumbing/Signature Styles had a chance to move up from sixth place to fourth in the standings. Although KLP/SS only scored 10 points in the first half against Mid-Town Flooring, they trailed by a mere point. They kept the game close for another quarter, until Mid-Town caught fire and finished up winning 38-22. With 10 points, Jill Barr led nine Mid-Town snipers. Eight players scored for KLP/SS. KLP/SS also had a hard time hitting the hole against Frances/Lemke Co-operators. It took six
offensive rebounds to score their second basket to pull to within 20-6 just before the half. In the last five minutes of the game they outscored the Co-operators 10-2, but closed out the game on the short end of the 26-24 decision. Janet Goulard led the Co-operators with all 10 of her points in the first half. The Reunions finished the regular season undefeated with a 40-19 victory over the Co-operators. Mae Donohue led the potent Reunion squad with 13 points. Final standings: Reunions (10-0), followed by Mid-Town Flooring (6-4), Bananas (5-5), Frances/ Lemke Co-operators (4-6), McNab, Stewart & Prince (3-7), and KL Plumbing/ Signature Styles (2-8).

Blok debuts at Indianapolis Motor Speedway May 16 Steve Blok
Sports - A week of firsts for Nathan Blok faced the driver from Beachburg as he visited the historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) and competed in an open wheel car for the first time since August 2012. For Blok it was a brand new car in a new series for him, a new team at their first race together, while racing on a brand new road course at a track facility he had never been to before. Thankfully quick-learning and adaptability are two of Blok’s strengths and he quickly acclimated to the USF2000 No. 33 of John Cummiskey Racing (JCR). After getting a feel for the JCR car and a couple of test runs under his belt, Blok took to his first official race May 16 and finished 14th of 22 cars. The next day, he crossed the finish line in 13th spot. “The entire weekend was just a
steady increase in speed, familiarizing myself with an open wheel car again, a new team and by Saturday, things were mixing very well. I wasn’t able to have wheel-to-wheel battles the way I had hoped to,� recalled Blok. “It was a very good learning experience for myself. There is a very high level of competition in this series and I am looking forward to my next race at the Toronto Indy. I would like to thank John Cummiskey Racing and Salin Bank of Indiana for getting me to this historic race track for the inaugural Grand Prix of Indianapolis.� “I was really happy with the weekend,� John Cummiskey said. “Nathan did a great job, improved each day, which was one of our goals. Saturday’s race was a little disappointing but I think Nathan now knows how competitive the series is. The Mazda engine and Cooper Tires were great and we look forward to the Toronto race.�
THREE-TIME QUALIFIER
Grit, and determination to play through injuries spearheaded the Junior Jaguars to the championship, coach Renee Turcotte said. The Junior Jaguars were in Alexandria Tuesday to represent Renfrew County at the Eastern Ontario (EOSSAA) high school soccer championship for A schools. The Jaguar senior girls lost 1-0 to the Mackenzie Mustangs in the opening round of their Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association playoffs while the senior boys suffered a similar fate, falling 1-0 to the Jeanne Lajoie Chevaliers. Kyle Labelle booted home two late-game goals to lift the junior boys to a 4-2 win over the Renfrew Collegiate Raiders. Simon Rowat and Cole Turcotte had other St. Joseph’s tallies. The win put the Junior Jaguars in the semifinal where they lost 1-0 in overtime to eventual Renfrew County champion Mackenzie. Coaches Stacey McGregor and Trent Skelhorn were pleased with the progress the Jaguars made over the past month.
Kathryn David will lead a contingent of five Jaguars to the East Region track and field championship, and she’ll do so in three events. David placed third at the Eastern Ontario (EOSSAA) championship in the senior girls 400 metres with a time of 1:02.03 at Thousand Islands Secondary School (TISS) in Brockville last week. She was also fourth in the 200 metres in 26.63 seconds; and fifth in the 400-metre hurdles at 1:10.05. EOSSAA athletes in the top five advance to this week’s East Region meet in Ottawa. Janessa Linton has qualified in two events. She was third, in the junior girls 800 metres in 2:34.30, and fourth in the 1,500 metres in 5:30.54. Michael Vice was second in the senior boys high jump at 1.80 metres. Sarah Power was also second with a throw of 26.47 metres in the junior girls discus. Also advancing for the Jaguars was Quinn Solar, who placed third in the junior boys high jump at 1.70 metres.

Athletic Association playoffs at Pembroke’s Riverside Park May 22. Likewise, the senior boys also lost, 2-0 to the Fellowes Falcons. The Mackenzie Mustangs outlasted RCI in their junior girls match.

peter.clark@metroland.com
Sports - The Renfrew Junior B Timberwolves put the finishing touches on a fine 2013-14 season Saturday evening at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. The Wolves weren’t able to successfully defend their Valley Division championship in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League. After an opening-round six-game triumph over the Pontiac Juniors, the Wolves were topped in five games by the Almonte Thunder in the Valley Division final. But the Wolves did finish in first place in the regular season, the club’s first such finish since 2001. Following a chicken dinner served up by Margi’s Catering, those who received league awards were honoured. Teddy Suckow was the Valley Division’s top defenceman; goaltender Matt Schroeder tops in that position; Tanner Smith won the Wolves’ Paul Poupore Award for combined hockey and scholastics; Kip Mulvihill and assistants Mike Bredlaw and Danby Suckow shared coach-of-the-year honours; and Brent Sylvester was the division’s top general manager. The Wolves’ last five years have been pretty good under Sylvester’s leadership, In four of the seasons, the
Wolves have reached the Valley Division final, and have won it twice, in 2011 and 2013. In a separate ceremony, a large frame bearing the sweater No. 28 of Kurtis Leclaire will be on display at the Renfrew NHA-NHL Birthplace Museum for the next four to five years. Wolves fans Andrew Evans and Colleen McAdam made the presentation. “It’s a gift that Colleen and I have given to the NHA-NHL Birthplace Museum in the name of Kurtis Leclaire,” Evans pointed out. “It is his jersey, It belongs to him. I was fortunate enough to wear it as a fan in the last three seasons.” Evans will give the sweater back to Leclaire in four or five years, but until then, it’ll be on display in the museum to help promote Renfrew junior B hockey. “Everyone in the public is invited to come in and view it,” he said. Kip Mulvihill said stepping up from assistant to head coach was a good experience. “I really enjoyed my first year as junior B coach. I had a lot of good kids that I’ve coached in the past, obviously not as a head coach, but as an assistant. I know that built a rapport,” he said. The Wolves were expected to go further in their playoff drive, but coach Mulvihill said
the experience gained and the players coming back to Renfrew should bode well for the future. “We’ve got a good group of guys coming back. Talking with the guys, they are already excited about next year. I’m looking forward to the off-season and looking at some talent to fill in some of those puzzle pieces for the guys that are going to be leaving.” Winger Kurtis Leclaire and defenceman Dylan Zavitske are the two players the Wolves will lose through age. Coach Mulvihill said they are core guys that will be hard to replace. “I’m really looking forward to what’s happening here and getting a positive buzz on Renfrew junior B hockey,” he said. One thing going in coach Mulvihill’s favour is the Wolves’ last two Valley Division championships have come in odd-numbered years, 2011 and 2013. JUNIOR B WOLVES GOLF TOURNAMENT

Learning the skills of hockey in Whitewater Kristina Misener Muskrat Minor Hockey
Sports -This 2014-15 hockey season will be a year of exciting events and promotions of the great Canadian game of hockey in the Township of Whitewater Region. The Muskrat Minor Hockey Association will be revising its registration policies for the Initiation Program (IP) level players ages four to six years. “We are excited about this announcement and for the opportunity to hopefully introduce more kids to our Initiation Program,” said IP co-ordinator, Tim Lynch. • Registration for firstyear IP players (four years old) will be $300. That is a saving of $140. • Registration for secondyear (five years) is $350.00, or a saving of $90. • Registration for third year (six years) is $375, which is a saving of $65. All other levels starting at novice are $440 per season to register. This makes
the average hourly cost to play from $7.50 to $10 based on levels. “We want children to come and experience the game of hockey, learn new skills and start to build a solid hockey foundation, while they stay healthy and active,” said Muskrat minor hockey president Brent Gould. Hockey Canada developed IP to make children’s first contact with hockey a safe and positive experience. It’s a structured, learn-to-play hockey program designed to introduce beginners to the game’s basic skills. It enables participants to become contributing members of a team effort, develop self-confidence, and experience a sense of personal achievement. These goals are achieved in an atmosphere of fun and fair play. To find out more information on the program or to register your child for the upcoming season please visit www.muskratminorhockey.com.
Two holes-on-one in Renfrew men’s league Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com
The first few nights of the Men’s Recreation League at the Renfrew Golf Club have produced some interesting results. Highlighting the way were holes-in-one by Hessel Vandervelde and Brent Carson on consecutive Monday evenings (May 12 and 19) on the par-3 second hole. The Abandoned Cubs were able to find their way to the top of the A flight
ladder with a score of 110 in the first two-week segment of the 2014 season. Teams moving up a flight are Publican House from B to A, Riopelle Painting from C to B, and Beatty Pilgrim Construction from D to C. Going the other way were Cobus Homes from A to B, Deslaurier Custom Cabinets from B to C, and Swatters from C to D. Carson, Chad Miller, Dan Erfle and Eric Logan were last week’s closest-tothe-pin winners.

PROVINCIAL ELECTION NEWS RELEASES
Connected to your community
Invest in health care fundamentals, cut wait times in half : NDP A news release from the office of NDP candidate Brian Dougherty. News - NDP candidate Brian Dougherty says that after 10 years of Liberal government, many patients with complex needs still spend more than 10 hours in emergency rooms
[ERs] to get care they need. At the same time, many hospital beds are clogged with patients who can’t get home care. To deal with this, the NDP has laid out what he calls a “sensible� plan to cut ER waits by half and address the
home care shortage. “Families like mine are waiting for hours to be seen in ERs, and we are tired of seeing health dollars spent on CEO pay hikes and the multi-million dollars scandal at ORNGE,� said Dougherty, father of two young children.
Yakabuski: Only the Ontario PCs have plan that will bring hydro bills under control A news release from the office of Progressive Conservative candidate John Yakabuski. News - With the release of the NDP election platform, PC candidate for Renfrew-NipissingPembroke John Yakabuski is reminding voters of exactly who is responsible for the skyrocketing increases in hydro rates since the passing of the Green Energy Act (GEA). Introduced in 2009 with the unanimous support of the Liberal and NDP parties, the GEA has caused hydro rates to grow at unaffordable rates by guaranteeing massively subsidized rates for wind and solar power projects. “I can understand why the NDP are now trying to distance themselves from the disastrous energy policies that they supported,� Yakabuski said. “The Ontario PCs are the only party that have consistently defended the ratepayer’s interests and put forward plans to bring hydro rates under control� he added. As laid out in the Ontario PC Million Jobs Plan, if elected a PC government will: 1. End wasteful subsidies for wind turbines and solar panels. (This would save our economy $20 billion in energy costs.) 2. Bring about real accountability to the operation of Hydro One and OPG 3. Pursue safe, reliable, cost-effective tech-
nologies like nuclear, hydroelectricity and natural gas. 4. Open up access to affordable hydroelectricity and natural gas in nearby jurisdictions such as Quebec and several U.S states. By contrast, the NDP is calling for even more subsidized energy to be brought onto the system than is already planned, and for the elimination of nuclear power which last year contributed almost 60 per cent of our energy needs. “We know that the Liberals’ energy plan calls for massive hikes in electricity over the next three years,� said Yakabuski. “It doesn’t make any sense to add more expensive power , especially when their disastrous energy policies have already chased 300,000 good manufacturing jobs out of Ontario.� Predictable and affordable energy rates are a key to Ontario’s economic recovery. That’s why the Million Jobs Plan includes measures to address the concerns of business, and provide relief to families struggling to make ends meet. “Only the Ontario PC party will bring changes to stop the spiraling of electricity costs and bring real relief� Yakabuski said. “Under our plan, the average family’s hydro bill would be almost $400 less a year than what is planned by the Liberals,� he concluded.
“It’s time to focus on fundamentals to improve health care.� The NDP’s plan provides targeted investments in health care “fundamentals� that will make sure ER beds are available for ER patients and they can be seen quickly and effectively. “It’s not just a quick fix,� said Doughtery. “It’s a plan that makes sense because it takes some of the pressure off ERs to deliver services that could well be provided in far less expensive ways, without those awful waits. When patients wait too long in ERs,

VOLUNTEER SERVICE AWARDS
SURPLUS EQUIPMENT
Renfrew County’s provincial volunteer service awards ceremony takes place June 4 in Petawawa. Horton volunteers recognized that night will be David Brown, Tim and Pearl McDonald, Marilyn Delarge, Dave and Sharon Bennett,
Horton council has put up for tender five pieces of equipment declared surplus. They are a Gravel-Pro, 2000 three-quarter ton GMC Silverado 2500 with plow, Godiva CC205 Water Pump, John Deere L-120 Series Lawn
“The Liberals have had 10 years to fix ER wait times, but they haven’t delivered for families. They’ve talked about it but wasted money and opportunity. “Tim Hudak and the Conservatives will make things worse, cutting services and jobs. Mr. Hudak says cutting support staff won’t affect front-line services, but that’s obvious nonsense. And these are some of the best jobs in our area. “The NDP plan will put patients first and preserve local employment,� said Dougherty.

Successful murder mystery for Horton News - Horton’s May 3 murder mystery was a big success. The profit was similar to last year’s event, which is a recreation committee fundraiser.

care suffers and risk of death rises.� NDP leader Andrea Horwath has promised that an NDP government will cut ER wait times in half by hiring 250 new nurse-practitioners, opening 50 new 24-hour family health clinics, creating 1,400 more long-term care beds, and implementing a five-day home care guarantee. “These steps will keep ERs moving and make sure that Ontarians are getting the right care they need, when and where they need it, to reduce pressure on ERs,� he said.

Red Hatters welcome spring in refreshing style Red Hat Society
Community - Spring in the Valley has finally sprung and with it a time of renewal is upon us. Local and surrounding Red Hatters seized upon the notion of renewal and gathered on Saturday, May 3 at St. Andrew’s Church in Carleton Place to refresh their readily recognizable red and purple regalia. That old saying, “Out with the old and in with the new,” became a reality on that day. In preparation for this grand event, ladies sorted through their closets, jewelry boxes and all of their accessories, deciding what they would like to part with, while looking forward with anticipation and excitement, trying to imagine what they would find to replace them. Scores of ladies from Renfrew, Orleans, Kanata, Arnprior, Ottawa and Gatineau joined Carleton Place hatters to do what they do best – socialize, shop, enjoy a tasty meal and, most importantly, meet and mingle with their Red Hat Sisters. Carleton Place, arguably one of the most Red Hat-friendly communities in the country, boasts four chapters – the Sassy Lass-
ies, the Sophisticats, the Positively Menopositives and the Shopping Sherpas. Close by, Ashton is home to the Valley Vixens. Smiths Falls and Perth also boast chapters. Being centrally located, Carleton Place was the perfect place for this exciting sale. Ladies of all ages were in attendance, the youngest, a pink hatter, was only 35 and the most senior was in her late 80s. Suzanne Oberholzer, visiting Carleton Place, said she had no idea that the Red Hat Society was full of such fun-loving women. She plans to join as soon as she gets back to her home in South Africa. At the Regalia Sale, hatters bought, sold, traded and gave away red and purple fashions ranging from casual to evening wear, along with hats, jewelry, purses, accessories of all kinds and everything else imaginable. Items of all sizes, shades and glitter were available to add flare and sparkle to spring wardrobes. Throughout the day, you heard ladies congratulating each other on their great finds or playfully fighting over a well-priced treasure.
When a lady tried on a hat that didn’t quite look right, another hatter instantly appeared by her side to show her just the right way to tilt that hat and make it a stunner! Caring and sharing are two qualities of every Red Hatter which were in abundance at this event. If an elegant gown was too tight for one lady, she found a smaller friend and insisted she try it on. Shopping is the official sport of the ladies of the Red Hat Society and it seems fitting that this paradise of hat paraphernalia was sponsored by the Shopping Sherpas from Carleton Place. Their Queen, Sandra Dormer, is well known for her organizational skills in hosting events ladies will enjoy. Sandy Schappert of the Sophisticats summed up the feeling of all the attendees when she congratulated Dormer on “organizing another fun adventure,” adding, “it was a great opportunity to refurbish my well-worn wardrobe, as well as, interacting with my other Red Hat friends. The Lunch Ladies did a great job, too!” Helen Whitsitt of the Renfrew Red Hotters joined in saying she “had a
great time.” Dormer has been highly praised for her mall crawl which is held in Ottawa at Carlingwood Shopping Centre. This year’s event is already in the works. Those wishing info on this hugely-attended fun event can contact Queen Sandra Dormer at shopping.sherpas@gmail.com. The upcoming second annual mall crawl is something no Red Hatter can afford to miss. A delicious luncheon was provided by the ladies of St. Andrew’s who are well known in the Valley to please every palate. Helen McDowell of the Positively Menopositive won the door prize of a large, overflowing gift basket. Chapters in attendance included: Shopping Sherpas, Luscious Lovelies, Renfrew Red Hotters, Les Fleurs de la Vallée, Ottawa Valley Sassy Lassies, Positively Menopositives and The Red Maple Belles. With the positive feedback from each and every lady in attendance it looks like this regalia will become an annual event that ladies will be looking forward to with great anticipation.

Hydro One is prepared, make sure you are, too Hydro One
Community - Last year, Hydro One crews restored power to over 2,556,000 customers due to nine unprecedented storms that caused many Ontarians to be without power for an extended period of time. Whether it is high winds, flooding, snow or ice, Hydro One plans and prepares for emergencies to ensure crews are ready to respond when a storm hits.

Make it a family activity to create list of items your family would need in the event of an extended emergency and gather together a 72-hour emergency kit.

Jerome Godboo, followed by Angel Forrest. Up next is a regular at Calabogie Weekends in the winter, Dawn Tyler Watson & Ben Racine Band. Headlining Sunday at the festival will be the Kelly Richey Band. Kelly has been described as “Stevie Ray Vaughan trapped in a woman’s body with Janis Joplin screaming to get out”. She is a master blues guitarist who has been compared to Jimi Hendrix, and she’ll be rocking the foot of Calabogie Mountain Aug. 17. Mountainside camping will be available all weekend. Pop-up tent trailers, RVs and tents are all welcome, and must be booked ahead of time. There will also be ribs, a beer garden, vendors’ area, kids’ zone and of course, some of North America’s biggest and best blues acts.

Community - We are all very much aware of the fact that we will, at some point, die. Every living thing must eventually cease living. Yet the topic of death can invoke terror into the hearts of mortal beings who would rather deny it than even think about talking about it. But what happens, when you gather with other mortals and share tea or coffee and delicious cake and the purpose of your gathering is to openly talk about one of the last taboos – death. To be clear, this is not a bereavement support group or a space for grief counselling or promotion of any type of service or business. The Death Café simply offers an accessible, respectful and confidential space with no intention of leading people to any conclusion, product or course of action. It is a non-profit event with the sole purpose being an increase in awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their finite lives. Julie Keon, a funeral Life Cycle Celebrant from Cobden, has organized the event to bring the concept to her own community.“The Death Cafe gives people a safe, comfortable place to talk about the things that are inevitable. We all have to face it someday whether it is our own death or a loved one’s death,” says Keon. Death Cafe is based on the ideas of Bernard Crettaz, a Swiss sociologist and anthropologist, who set up Cafes Mortels. The Death Café idea was brought to the UK by Jon Underwood from Switzerland in 2010 and has slowly migrated across Europe and into North America. The “social franchise,” according to the movement’s website, www.deathcafe.com is worldwide, with more than 400 Death Cafes serving more than 3,000 participants in Europe, North America and Australia. Death Cafe is a volunteer organization with no paid staff. So what happens at a Death Café? “Attendees are welcomed and then encouraged to find a seat around one of several tables. Each table seats four to six people and after some introductions and the serving of cake and tea or coffee, conversation begins about end-of-life topics,” Keon explains. There isn’t a set list of topics to discuss but conversation generally flows quite easily as participants share their insights, fears, thoughts about anything related to their inevitable death. Generally, in the end, participants leave feeling uplifted and determined to squeeze as much out of their life while they still can. Keon adds “Ironically, by talking about the inevitable, we become more aware of how truly precious our time of living is and we become motivated to surrender to living fully rather than living fearfully.” Everyone is welcome to attend Renfrew County’s first Death Café Tuesday, June 24 from 7 to 9 p.m. in the back room of Neat Café, 1715 Calabogie Road in Burnstown. A suggested donation of $5 is appreciated to help cover costs of space and refreshments. Call 613-646-9912 or email at julie@juliekeon.com

Angela Field Renfrew County Theraputic Riding Program
Lifestyle - Spring is supposed to be here, and the Renfrew County Theraputic Riding Program is set to get lessons underway Thursday, June 5.
With a short season, and a long list of riders, the program is looking for volunteers to help with our weekly lessons. We are in need of people to walk beside riders, and people to lead the horses. Lessons are an hour long, and incredibly rewarding for volunteers.
The program is also seeking students with a will to work, and a need for community hours. They would help with haying, fencing and grass cutting throughout the summer. The Renfrew County Therapeutic Riding Program provides safe, beneficial and
fun horseback riding lessons to special needs children and adults. We operate strictly through donations, and volunteers. If you’ve ever wondered how a horse can help, or how you can help, please contact Keryl at 613-570-9852.

new twist to the events. Across Canada there is a contest called Art Battle (check out Art Battle.ca.) It is where artists are given 20 minutes to paint a picture that will then be judged by the audience. We will be holding our version and we are calling it Battle of the Canvas. No, it is not a boxing match but some of our local artists are challenging each other to come up with a painting in 20 minutes. Sounds crazy, but a lot of fun. More information will be forthcoming, so stay tuned. RAG meets on the first Tuesday of the month at Trinity St. Andrew’s United Church, 291 Plaunt St., Renfrew (please use the Quarry St. entrance) at

Lifestyle - As artists, we get excited about what we do and we grow in our art. When we paint or sculpt or whatever creative mode we take we are passing it on to the buyer, friend or family member. That is being creative and sharing that creativity. The Renfrew Art Guild has made that one of the goals of the group. We give a bursary every year to the two local high schools for those students going on to fine arts in university or college. Two of our recipients have been Victoria Slight and Megan Hazen.

Croatian teenage pianist to perform at Trinity-St. Andrew’s Church May 31 Michael McCormick
Petra Saric is a multiple award winning pianist from Zagreb, Croatia. She has been in Renfrew as a part of the Rotary Long Term Youth Exchange program. After having great success in music festivals in Renfrew and Ottawa, she will be performing one final time at Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church in Renfrew Saturday, May 31 at 3 p.m. The program will feature piano works by Chopin, Bach and Beethoven, as well as special guest performers from the area.
Community - How does a Croatian teenage pianist end up in Renfrew, Ontario? “I didn’t really sign up for Renfrew,” says Petra Saric. “I wanted to improve my French, so I applied for an exchange to France, Belgium, and Canada was my third choice,” She thought that she would be sent to Quebec, but was later informed that she would be able to go to Renfrew. After some research and deliberation she decided that this was an opportunity that she couldn’t pass up. Petra is from Zagreb, the largest city in Croatia, having roughly a quarter of Croatia’s four million inhabitants. She is here as part of a Rotary Long Term Youth Exchange program which will end in mid July. She finds the distances in Canada far different. “You guys go for a two-hour ride and it’s nothing. Nobody goes that far at home.” School has been a bit of an adjustment. In Croatia, elementary school finishes around age 14, after which you choose your high school stream. She will return for her final year after which she hopes to attend university. But school is, as she says, “For study. There are no sports or musicals or
stuff like that.” Music is a big part of Petra’s life. Her father is a musician and she began playing piano at the age of seven when she enrolled in music school. It started as a couple days a week and then ended up being daily with several courses being offered in performance, theory, harmony, choral and more. Kids who stay with the school end up being very adept at whatever instrument they choose and Petra says she ends up seeing the same people at the various competitions she enters at home. She’s been able to continue her studies in Canada with Susan Webster in Ottawa and though popular music is similar in both countries, she had never heard country music until coming here. Many people were introduced to Petra’s piano performance skills at the recently completed Rotary Music Festival, though she also competed in the Ottawa Kiwanis Music Festival as well. In both, the adjudicators were impressed with her technique and she was awarded several first-place ribbons. At the final gala concert in Renfrew, Petra won so many awards that many remarked on how difficult it was going to be for her to take them
home. She may need some extra luggage. She’s also getting to do something very new by playing piano in St. Joseph Catholic High School’s production of Beauty and the Beast. Area residents will also get one final chance to hear her perform at a special recital which will be held on Saturday, May 31 at Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church in Renfrew. It will be a free event, though a goodwill donation will be collected to help her with her studies and her luggage bills. The recital will have some Chopin (her favourite), Beethoven and some “lighter Bach.” She is looking forward to the event, though she says she won’t be the first Croatian to play in the area as her countrymen “2 Cellos” performed a sold-out concert at the Neat Cafe last year. The concert is being organized by Mike McCormick and Reverends Tough and Wardell of Trinity-St. Andrew’s. They are hoping that this might be the start of some ongoing concerts of classical music featuring area performers. “There are so many talented performers in this area and it’s a shame more people don’t get to hear them” says McCormick. “Maybe amongst the country musicians we’ve got the next Mozart here in the Valley.”
Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.
MINIMIZE THE FINAL INCOME TAX LIABILITY OF YOUR ESTATE proper planning, a deceased’s “ Without income tax liability could be significant Did you know that approximately 80% of Canadians will donate to a charity during their lifetime? However, it is estimated that less than 10% will include a gift to a registered charity in their Will.
This is one of a series of several articles intended to build awareness about the impact of legacy giving to Forever CHEO. In addition to the spiritual and community benefits of gifting to a registered charity, naming a registered charity as a beneficiary in your Will can also be an effective way to minimize the final income tax liability
of an estate. Without proper planning, a deceased’s income tax liability could be significant. Various income inclusions at the time of death, such as deemed capital gains and the fair market value of an RRSP can result in a higher than expected estate income tax liability given Canada’s graduated income tax rates.
Gifts to Forever CHEO can include cash legacies, bequests of real or personal property, securities, life insurance proceeds and all or part of the residue of the estate. All of these gifts can potentially generate tax credits available to reduce an estate’s income tax liability. Additionally, the gifting of certain types of capital property to Forever CHEO under the terms of a Will may avoid capital gains but still maximize the tax credits available from such a gift.

Please feel free to contact any member of CHEO’s Legacy Advisory Committee for more information about minimizing the tax liability of your estate and how you can make a lasting impact on the kids and families at CHEO. We would be happy to help you create your Forever CHEO legacy for generations of CHEO patients.

All prices are cash prices with only the HST extra. Other charges may apply if finance option chosen, such as PPSA or other fees charged by the finance institution, Carproof, lien checks, or other charges that may be incurred when trading in a vehicle, discharging lien, or financing a vehicle. Many clients with less than perfect credit may qualify for rates as low as 3.99% but rates may vary based on credit history from 3.99 to 29.99%. Many institutions charge fees in addition to PPSA and those charges are passed on to the consumer.
