Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke candidates have their say Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Five of six RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke candidates showed up for the second of two all-candidates forums, and each had his moments.

Differences of opinion surfaced when the three candidates who are expected to lead

the polls – Rod Boileau of the Liberal Party, Brian Dougherty of the New Democratic Party and Progressive Conservative incumbent John Yakabuski – sparred over the issues regarding job creation and hydro.

The all-candidates event took place June 4 at Opeongo High School, following the May 27 one in Cobden.

Murray Reid of the Confederation of Regions surprised the audience by saying he opposed four-laning of Highway 17, but he also got the biggest laugh when he said expanding the highway would only allow businesses already in the county to leave faster.

Green Party candidate Ben Wright admitted he was to-

tally green when it came to participating in all-candidates forums. But the 26-year-old calmly provided answers to written questions from the audience and the hosting Renfrew County chapters of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation and the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario.

Wright’s most controversial statements, which met with no discernibly negative response from the crowd of about 100 people, concerned the Green Party’s plans to amalgamate the Catholic and public school boards. There’s no need to have Catholic schools, he said.

All-candidates forum said changes are necessary.

There are 225,000 fewer students in school than in 2003 while education spending has risen by $8.4 billion, said Yakabuski.

Education, he said, “can’t be exempted from an effort to turn this province around and get the books in order. There will be changes. It will be part of what we have made clear, that we’re going to reduce the public service in Ontario back to the numbers where they were in 2009.”

Dougherty, on the other hand, said the NDP is committed to hiring 1,000 more educational assistants and up to 1,000 specialty teachers, and to creating a fund to keep schools open in more rural areas such as Renfrew County.

Dougherty also took a strong stand for teachers when he stressed that teachers need to be treated fairly by an open and honest government that listens to them.

On the issue of full-day kindergarten, Yakabuski said his party was opposed to that expansion, which is being completed next school year. He said the PCs “won’t turn the clock back,” but that streamlining will be necessary.

During the forum, emcee Barber identified concerned citizens (informally known as the Join the Fight Against High Hydro Rate group) who had collected 500 surveys from people across Renfrew County with their feedback on skyrocketing hydro bills.

This group asked the candidates at the all-candidates forum what short- and long-term plans their party would bring to alleviate the burden of high hydro costs and make Hydro One more accountable.

Boileau said the Liberals have spent money to improve Hydro One’s infrastructure, after previous Conservative governments focused on balancing the budget instead of making those investments, but acknowledged that changes are in order to reduce hydro costs.

Steps to address the high hydro bills include dropping the debt retirement charges. It’s just going to take time, but the investment in green technology is saving jobs and will create jobs, as coal- and nuclearbased energy providers are phased out or eliminated, added Boileau.

Yakabuski couldn’t resist jabbing back.

ANNUAL REPORT 2013 RENFREW & AREA HEALTH SERVICES VILLAGE INC. A message from the Renfrew & Area Health Services Village I am pleased to provide this report on the activities of the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village Inc. The Board of the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village continues to provide direction in an exemplary manner. The directors have shown an unwavering commitment to the purpose and function of the Corporation and they have fostered considerable community awareness and community support. At a point during the previous twelve months, we have welcomed a few new board members: Jim Millar from SunLife Financial and most recently we welcome Allison Collins and Dr. John Collins.

As at the writing of this report, the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village has signed incentive agreements with eight physicians:Dr J. Arcand – commenced practice Dr A. Varrin -- commenced practice Dr J. Bodig – commenced practice Dr P. Pinard – commenced practice Dr S. Nemani – commenced practice Dr S. Krajewski – commenced practice Dr D. Duggan – will commence in 2015 Dr B. Blaine - commenced practice A number of recruitment initiatives continue to provide the board with interested new physicians. We continue to focus on local contact, interest resulting from locums and job fairs.

Key to our ability to sign additional physicians is the ongoing support of our financial partners. A defined agreement with the Renfrew Industrial Commission continues toward a total commitment of $900,000; the municipalities of Admaston Bromley, Greater Madawaska, Horton and the Town of Renfrew continue with their funding of $25,000 per municipality (indexed at 2% annually); Renfrew Home Hardware Building Supply has committed to provide funding of $10,000 toward the incentive funding of each new physician. Above and beyond these funding commitments, the corporate and local fundraising committee continue to work hard. The Fundraising Committee, chaired by Karen Maxwell and the committee Robert Johnston, Peter Emon, Ian Clelland, Kevin & Pauline Hughes, Jim Miller, Jim Anderson, Mike Brydges, Sandi Heins and Raye-Anne Briscoe, each deserve a tremendous

amount of thanks for their efforts to date. To the extent possible, the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village continues to investigate the possibility of obtaining funding through various grant opportunities. This element of fundraising has also been most challenging. In 2013 the Renfrew & Area Health Services Village was successful in obtaining a $10,000 grant from the Eastern Ontario Development Program which helped to offset costs associated with promotion and advertising.

With regards to other financial matters, we are pleased to report that board member Bill Ringrose leads the development of a new municipal agreement that more clearly defines the municipal funding arrangement through to completion of the physician incentive program. All municipalities have agreed to this new agreement. Our appreciation goes to Mr Ringrose for his efforts in this important element of our ongoing funding.

Communication with our stakeholders and with the community continues to be an important activity. We are pleased to advise that a document was prepared in 2013 by board member (Vice Chair) Peter Emon which was used as a very informative tool in presentations to member municipal councils and other interested groups. The Renfrew and Area Health Services Village also continues to welcome discussion with other organizations.

The activities of the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village that have occurred since its inception in 2010 are proudly held up as significant – very significant contributions to the health of its municipal constituents. Its activities must also be recognized in terms of the economic benefit to the area. Of the many reports that have been compiled with regard to the economic impact of each new physician brought to the community, a consistent estimate of $1,000,000 emerges as the economic benefit. As such, the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village can say that its successes in physician recruitment will have a positive economic impact of $8,000,000 to date.

We look forward to the next year with its new challenges and its new opportunities.

Respectfully submitted, Raye Anne Briscoe, Chair of the Renfrew & Area Health Services Village

Also, added Wright, eliminating them would create huge financial savings.

Initial Catholic board funding was a brainchild of former Renfrew-NipissingPembroke Liberal MPP Sean Conway, who retired from politics in 2003.

Independent candidate Chad Beckwith-Smith was a no-show again. The next day he announced that he wouldn’t make any more public appearances during the campaign, suggesting he was being stalked by the OPP and that he feared for his safety.

The Combermere-area resident’s major issue is the elimination of abortions, a topic that wasn’t discussed during the all-candidates forum emceed by local OSSTF president Jeff Barber.

Public-sector job cuts, changes to education staffing, and how to reduce hydro bills and costs generated the most discussion, as Yakabuski, Dougherty and Boileau exchanged several political jabs.

Dougherty said it was time a government made sense in Ontario.

Boileau spoke about being attracted to Premier Kathleen Wynne’s platform because she stands for jobs, infrastructure, healthcare and an Ontario pension plan. Alluding to the PCs, the Liberal candidate also stressed that voters can support a party that is about building up Ontario or one that wants to tear it down.

Yakabuski was quick to respond. “Rod’s right about one thing: this is a watershed election,” said the MPP. “This is a very, very important election.”

Citing such issues as the high cost of hydro and regulatory burdens, Yakabuski said, “Do you want to continue … down the road of Armageddon, with ever-increasing deficits, debt that is greater than all other provinces combined.

You’ve got to find a way to stop the carnage. You’ve got to find a way to control government spending.”

Dougherty said the NDP is the only Ontario party with a plan to lower hydro rates over the long term, in addition to doing what the other parties plan to do, by dropping debt retirement charges and HST (following negotiation with the federal government) from hydro bills.

The NDP and Liberal candidates said their parties had no plans to cut class sizes, while Yakabuski

ELECTIONS All-candidates Continued from page 2

“I know you haven’t been deeply involved with the Liberal Party for long, but you have certainly wholeheartedly accepted their Kool-Aid,� said the MPP. “They would have you believing this place was falling apart before they came into office, and that’s a wonderful excuse for the increases you have seen under the current government.�

Hydro costs will also go down, said Dougherty, when the number of sevenfigure, hydro-related jobs are reduced.

JOB CREATION

All candidates addressed the issue of job creation.

Yakabuski trumpeted his party’s plan to reduce the corporate tax rate by 30 per cent. “We have to get out of the way and help create the climate so the job creators have a chance of competing with other jurisdictions,� said Yakabuski, citing the need to also help the economy with changes to the hydro landscape, reduction of red tape for job creators, and the addition of 100,000 job apprentices in the province.

As far as the PCs’ jobcreation promises, Dougherty got his own dig in. “You don’t have a million unemployed people in Ontario, let alone the need for a million jobs‌ How’s he (Tim Hudak) going to make it happen, by buying corporations and hoping they create jobs, or by selling off public corporations and hoping the private sector takes them over?â€?

In contrast, Dougherty said the NDP’s Buy Ontario plan will encourage companies of all sizes to invest in their own businesses. “That basically means, if something is mined,

Connected to your community

farmed, resourced or harvested in Ontario, it is then processed in Ontario. Our trees aren’t going to Quebec and our minerals aren’t going overseas, our oil isn’t going to the States to be refined. Investing in Ontario is the best way to create jobs.�

In contrast to the PCs, Wright said his party plans to raises corporate taxes and lower small-business taxes.

Reid said improvements in the economic sector can happen by addressing the reasons Ontario has lost so much manufacturing industry to other jurisdictions – bureaucratic red tape, high labour costs and high energy costs.

Dougherty said his part will also lower small-business taxes and raise corporate taxes, which he says are already the third lowest in Canada.

The incentives from the NDP, said Dougherty, will includes tax breaks and rebates for business investments.

All candidates, except Reid, supported ongoing four-laning of Highway 17 through the county.

In closing, Reid also provided advice for consideration. “When you vote, I think we should all think what political parties promise financial hardship for your children and grandchildren for generations to come,� said Reid. “Be careful what you wish for. Sometimes the side effects of the medicine are worse than the disease.�

You don’t have a million unemployed people in Ontario, let alone the need for a million jobs.

News - So far it’s still all black and Whyte.

Only one current Horton Township council member has declared his or her intentions to run in the October municipal election.

Coun. Margaret Whyte entered the race early this year, while the other four haven’t said what they’ll do.

Until June 3, that is, when Coun.

Jamey Larone said he will not seek a second straight term on council.

Reading from a brief set of notes, he calmly indicated he had enjoyed his time on council.

His announcement also appeared to catch the other council members offguard, although Coun. Glen Campbell said with a laugh that there was still time to convince Larone to reconsider.

HORTON TOWNSHIP

Abercrombie named Horton senior citizen of the year Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Marilyn Abercrombie thought she was a guest to a women’s institute meeting, only to learn she was at a council meeting to be recognized as Horton Township’s senior citizen of the year.

Abercrombie, who just turned 70, was presented with the provincial government award after several submissions were made about her extensive contributions to the community.

The nomination came from Abercrombie’s friend Grace Yantha-Blimkie of neighbouring McNab-Braeside for an award that recognizes outstanding contributions after the age of 65.

The nomination referred to her tireless fundraising for the Heart and Stroke Foundation for 20 years, including an estimated $15,000 over the past ďŹ ve years. “Marilyn has a generous heart, and purchases over 100 gifts during the year for Christmas for the residents living at Bonnechere Manor, Groves Park Nursing Home, Quail Creek, Renfrew Victoria Hospital and Autumn Leaves,â€? wrote Yantha-Blimkie, noting that her friend also personally delivers the gifts.

In the same nomination, Yantha-Blimkie mentioned her friend’s Pentecostal church activities, support for the Good Samaritan Fund and other ways she has enriched the lives of many. “Marilyn is a cancer survivor,� Yantha-Blimkie also wrote, “and gives back to others facing the disease by sharing her experience in a positive manner and giving support when someone just needs to talk about it.�

The nomination and letters of support -- written by Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario area manager Ann Henry, Bonnechere Manor recreation department member Lena Lambert, and Chartwell Quail Creek Retirement Residence general manager Bev Powell – were read out during the Horton council ceremony. “It’s an honour to receive this,� said Horton’s senior citizen of the year. “There’s a lot of people that probably deserve it a whole lot more, but I like to work behind the scenes.�

The paddle will be co-sponsored by the Ottawa River Institute.

In his statement, Larone gave no reasons for his decision.

In later speaking to The Renfrew Mercury, he said sitting on council requires a huge time commitment that represented challenges for his work. Larone, 52, is a self-employed renovations contractor.

News - Horton Township continues to find ways to lengthen the life of its landfill site.

Recycling practices already include cell-block collections to facilitate sorting, grinding and recycling of some products elsewhere.

And now the township is keeping more plastics out of the landfill.

Other plastics, not originally accepted for recycling, are now being picked up monthly by Pnewko Brothers which is headquartered in Vaughan, Ont. For no charge, Pnewko is picking up used oil containers, with a capacity of 30 litres or less, for such products as windshield wiper fluids, power-steering oil, gasoline, food grade white mineral oil, transmission fluid and synthetic crank-case oil. The company also collects antifreeze containers with a capacity of 30 litres or less.

This company already does pickups in about 175 municipalities, said Coun. Jamey Larone who chairs the waste management committee.

Larone said the township is also notifying Horton automotive businesses to see if they wish to use Pnewko’s free service.

Horton council may end grading of private roads Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Horton council has deferred a motion to stop grading private roads in the township.

Public works manager Janet Collins has outlined the factors to consider, including the municipality’s potential liability, if the grading continues, in a special report.

There are dozens of private roads in Horton, but only a small handful are worked on

by the township grader once every year or so.

These roads include Leavoy Lane, Gagan Lane, Larry’s Lane and Engineer Lane.

Since all council members had not yet read Collins’ nine-page report and appendices, it was agreed the motion will be discussed and voted on at the July 8 council meeting.

Coun. Margaret Whyte repeated her support, stated at earlier council meetings, for continuing the grading. But she was among

councillors who had not read or seen the report.

The report says Horton has 61.1 kilometres of municipally-owned gravel roads, but also 22.2 kilometres of private gravel roadways.

Collins’ report says options for the township include charging for all private road and laneway gradings, not grading these roads or laneways, or requiring all privateroad owners or occupiers to enter into an agreement with the township.

EDITORIAL

Cycling safety important Opinion - Whether you’re an avid biker or new to the sport, last week was a perfect opportunity to strap on that helmet and hit the road.

June 2 to 8 was Bike to Work Week 2014, a time when people everywhere are encouraged to work physical activity into their daily commute whenever possible.

The health benefits of cycling are clear, but it’s important to take the time to ensure you are also cycling safely.

Some important tips to remember include planning ahead and making sure to start small.

Cycle only one or two days a week to accustom yourself to it before trying longer distances. If you’re planning to bike to work, cycle the route you are going to take before that first day. You may think you can judge how long it will take, but physical fitness, weather and traffic can all be factors in slowing cyclists down.

Dress for biking. Don’t wear your three-piece suit or dress when hitting the pedals. Make sure to drop off work clothing at the office and wear light, wrinkle resistant pieces when riding.

Whether your workplace has a shower may determine how challenging you make your commute.

Just as important as planning is the need to stay safe on our roads. Adorn your bicycle with lights and reflectors, follow the rules of the road and wear safe footwear and an approved helmet.

Motorists should take note as well: check your mirrors before opening your vehicle door and getting out and be sure to leave lots of room for cyclists.

By sticking to a few simple rules, you can enjoy that morning commute with the birds chirping in your ear, rather than the usual symphony of car horns.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Growing demand to ban smart meters spreading across North America To the editor:

Opinion - On Feb. 14, 2014 a Hydro One smart meter installer knocked on my door to inform me that he wanted to replace my analog power measuring meter with a smart meter.

This is the third attempt that a Hydro One installer wanted to replace my analog meter, and this was my third refusal to have a smart meter installed on my house.

I have four concerns about smart meters and they are: health, privacy, control of you and fire hazard. Therefore, I see no net benefits to myself to have a smart meter.

HEALTH

Every smart meter transmits information about your power usage just like a cell phone.

The smart meter uses powerful burst of electromagnetic radiofre-

quency (RF)/microwave radiation to communicate with nearby smart meters and cell towers and send info back to the power company every few minutes or less.

You are living within a microwave environment and your dwelling is acting like a microwave appliance.

There is a medical study that shows the cumulative health effects of exposure to radiofrequency (RF)/ microwave radiation that causes the breakup of the DNA, birth defects, cancer, blood pressure changes, sleep disturbances, headaches, and over 100 other health problems.

You will also get radiofrequency (RF)/microwave radiation from the next new appliance that you purchase.

The new appliance will have a RFID chip that will communicate with the smart meter and thus exposing you to more radiofrequency (RF)/microwave radiation.

PRIVACY

The smart meter has the ability to collect accurate information of your power usage of each of your individual appliances (spying) and send the information to the power company. In order to accomplish the spying you will be required to replace all your appliances with energy star smart appliances that have a RFID chip that will communicate with your smart meter by wireless (WiFi). You will also be required to replace all your plug-in receptacles with new RFID chipped receptacles.

Then your smart meter will collect data when your washing machine and coffee maker are operating. If you don’t replace your old appliances and plug-ins with new RFID chipped appliances and plug-ins then you could be billed more for using old appliances. This plan is from the Earth Summit 1992 Treaty that is

CONTROL

The smart meter has a system of control. First of all, the smart meter will track your power usage at all hours of the day and you will be charged a different price that varies during the time of day. Power consumed at business hours will be charged at a higher price than off business hours. Those that have smart appliances will find that the smart meter will turn off the smart appliance when the power company decides that you are using too much power.

Also, your power may be shut off in order transfer the power to another area. This is all part of the plan to integrate North America into a Smart

FIRE HAZARD

Smart meter have been causing fires and explosions in different jurisdictions of Canada, United States and Australia.

Just in the last few years there were house fires caused by a smart meters in Cities of Pickering, Cobden, Deep River and other areas of Canada.

There is a growing demand to ban smart meters across North America.

In some of the U.S. states it is optional and in other States there is a State wide ban.

Inspiring evening Liberal leader Trudeau protecting the rights of all in Petawawa To the editor:

Opinion - What an inspiring evening in Petawawa on Wednesday, June 4 at the 2014 Volunteer Service Awards .

One hundred ninety-seven volunteers from across Renfrew County were awarded service pins.

Nineteen of these recipients were from Horton Township and Renfrew.

Where would our communities be in regard to quality of life if it were not for these dedicated people who give so generously of their time, efforts and skills!

There are so many others who work tirelessly in organizations, clubs, helping seniors and shut-ins, at food banks, recreational activities and numerous outlets which benefit our community. When the recipients were asked to raise their hands if their volunteer work made them feel

good, every hand was in the air. That seems to sum up the reason why people give of their efforts.

Six of the recipients were youth who were especially commended for their care for others by volunteering at such an early age.

Paige Dillabough and Chloe St. Amand were special guests of the evening to illustrate the importance of encouraging youth to volunteer.

Both girls, who received Lieutenant Governor medals in April, began their volunteering at age eight.

Congratulations and a huge thanks to all of the people in our Renfrew County who volunteer .

The next time you are getting help, or enjoying yourself, look around you and note how many of the people are volunteers and take time to say thank you.

Gladys Sidock Renfrew

Thanks to volunteers To the editor:

Opinion - The community spirit in Calabogie came out in spades on Saturday, May 31! A total of 750 people came through our gates and supported our event. We thank you all!

This kind of event could not be possible without the volunteers, participants, musicians, sponsors and vendors!

Again, we thank you all. The many happy faces we saw through out the day made all the hard work, worth it.

The ball tournament, live music, bouncy castles, games, vendors food and much more made for a busy day for many kids and adults. Everyone left a winner.

After all the bills were tallied up we managed to put $3,700 into the Rink Roof Fund again this year!

On behalf of the Community Spirit Committee we want to thank each and everyone of you for your support and hope to see you and many more next year for our third annual Community Spirit Day Bogie Style!

Medic says thank-you

To the editor:

Opinion - Just a note to say thank-you to my co-workers at the County of Renfrew paramedic service, other health care workers, and especially the residents of the county for allowing me the opportunity to assist through all that you required.

I have seen a lot in 30 years and everyone that I crossed paths with helped shape me as a medic and as a person.

Thank you. It has been my pleasure. Darwin, 14990.

Opinion - I went down to the Renfrew cenotaph today and was very surprised to find nothing. Renfrew’s Legion didn’t even take the time to place a wreath in honour of the few vets

we have left and honour those that paid for our freedom with their lives. The Renfrew Legion should be ashamed of themselves for not taking the time.

Ron Sinclair Renfrew

people what to believe, but to ensure that people have the ability and the means to choose what they want to believe.

This is where I find the greatest flaw within Mr. Postma’s letter. His letter indicates that he is worried about the advent of a “secular social utopia where the government dictates to its citizens what to believe, or not to believe‌.â€? I would argue that Mr. Trudeau’s stance is doing exactly the opposite of this. By committing to protect the rights of individuals to choose their own way, Mr. Trudeau is in fact protecting the right of every citizen to decide based on their conscience. It also appears to me that Mr. Postma would like

for the government to tell us what to believe when it comes to issues of abortion and euthanasia.

Mr. Postma concludes his letter by discussing “traditional Canadian values,� and making a call to protect these values. I am curious to know if these are the same values that brought us residential schools and institutionalized discrimination against First Nations peoples?

Traditional values are not better because they are traditional.

Any value needs to be revisited on a regular basis to determine whether or not it stands up to scrutiny in its current context.

Ryan Lunney Arnprior

Township council is missing the big picture To the editor:

Opinion - The long overdue budget for McNab-Braeside was finally passed recently, almost halfway into the year. Given this council’s track record of imposing their own personal views, it is no surprise that it includes an increase in taxes combined with a serious drop in services, which is a hidden tax increase.

No longer are McNab-Braeside residents afforded the same rates as Arnprior and Renfrew residents for recreation and library services.

Most services offered by government are not used by the majority. A council that truly has the long-term interests of its residents foremost in mind understands that. The current McNab-Braeside council does not.

Over 2,200 people signed a petition to carry on with shared library and recreation services with neighbouring towns for one more year and this was wiped out in this budget.

Deputy Mayor Blimkie says that ‘we got everything we wanted’.

When she says ‘we’, that doesn’t mean the public.

Active families and seniors have been hung out to dry as they now pay out-of-town rates for swimming and ice pad activities. We can’t make up for with archery and paddling programs, and a batting cage.

This will have reverberations in housing values in this township as active families and seniors will now be reluctant to move here and others are considering leaving.

But development to our potential has not been a priority of this council, as there has only been 15 housing starts in the last year. Developers who are looking for assistance are referred to the County.

McNab-Braeside staff were too busy handling a confusing survey

Disappointed by lack of tribute To the editor:

or for that matter of any Canadian,� but rather an exercise in party discipline, which we see on a regular basis from every party and government.

I agree with Mr. Postma when he says that there are millions of Canadians who, regardless of their faith or lack thereof, believe in the sanctity of life from conception and in rights for the unborn. What Mr. Postma fails to say is that there are millions who do not share this belief.

A prime minister, or for that matter any MP, represents a wide cross-section of individuals who will fall on both sides of this contentious issue. It is not their responsibility to tell

Letters Policy The Mercury welcomes letters to the editor. Senders must include their full name, complete address and a contact phone number. Email your letter to theresa.fritz@metroland.com

that didn’t even include the option that most residents wanted – a continuation of the shared agreements.

Now staff are tied up processing token $45 library card rebates, which is a poor substitute for contributing a fair lump sum payment to the Arnprior and Renfrew libraries so that they can plan properly to serve the greater community.

The numbers quoted by Mayor Campbell don’t add up.

Saying that an agreement

with Arnprior will lead to amalgamation is fear-mongering. We have had shared agreements for many years.

If she has found the last three years exhausting on this issue, it is because she has insisted on imposing her own personal views over that of her electorate.

That takes a lot of work.

There is a municipal election this October. I hope that many residents of McNabBraeside can engage in an open and frank discussion on

how to build on our strengths in this Township.

We need a new plan for a positive way forward that is respectful of the wishes of the majority, mindful of the needs of those on a fixed income, and welcomes new neighbours with open arms while retaining our unique identity as a rural community.

Opinion - Re: “Protect Traditional Canadian Values�

While Mr. Postma is certainly entitled to his opinion with respect to Justin Trudeau and his recent decision to declare that candidates for the Liberal Party of Canada must be prepared to vote pro-choice, I must respectfully disagree with much of the content of his letter.

Mr. Trudeau has made it clear that his personal stance is in fact pro-life. What he has said is that anyone wishing to run for the Liberal Party must vote the party line on this issue.

This is not, as Mr. Postma has written, a demand to “control the hearts and minds of those who would serve in government

GRAND ROUNDS

“We wanted to give them to kids who were going through a crisis to help comfort them,” says Wanda, a mother of three teenage boys. Thankfully she never experienced any serious injuries with them, but when she did have to visit the ED, she would have appreciated something to keep them occupied.

The couple recently moved into our community and understands how much that would mean to a child and also

their parents, knowing someone else has thought about them.

“Everyone has been so friendly to us since we’ve moved here and this is such a great hospital,” says Wanda. “We knew it would be really nice for the children to have something to keep and cuddle in the Emergency Department.”

For the nurses and physicians in RVH’s ED, it’s satisfying to see the nerves disappear and the smiles light up their young patients’ faces.

Teddy bear donation brings big smiles during ED visits “The kids get really excited too, and sometimes they forget for a moment why they’re in the hospital,” she adds.

ED Nurse Sylvie Moore explains to her little patieints, “It’s because you’re doing such a good job, you get one as your reward.” She also suggests they tell the bear where it hurts the most, because often children will open up to their new stuffed friend more easily than to a nurse or doctor.

Reverend Peter Snow and his wife Wanda made a donation of 60 teddy bears of all shapes, sizes and colours to the Emergency Department in April in recognition of the role RVH plays when a child is sick or injured.

Members of the TLC women’s group at Calvary Pentecostal Church in Renfrew were all asked to bring in a new bear for their Teddy Bear’s Picnic-themed meeting over the winter.

For a young child, a trip to the Emergency Department at RVH must be a daunting experience. Suffering an accident or severe illness, frightened and in pain, intimidated by the noises and equipment, they can see that mom and dad are nervous too.

Before they know it, the ED nurse sneaks out of the room for a moment and returns with a little surprise—a brand new teddy bear. The stuffed animals have been the perfect companions for little ones going through a tough or scary time.

“They have been such a good distraction,” comments ED Nurse Manager Kim Dick about the bears. She adds that it’s always helpful when children can have something that keeps their mind off of having their blood drawn or sitting still for other procedures.

Tractor trailer-SUV collision closes Highway 17 Highway 17 between O’Brien and Gillan Roads at Renfrew was closed in both directions Monday after a collision between an eastbound SUV and westbound tractor trailer. The drivers were the only occupants of the vehicles and both were transported via air ambulance to the Ottawa Civic Hospital with serious injuries. The accident occurred shortly before 6 a.m., east of the O’Brien Road exit. The Renfrew OPP expected the highway to be closed most of the day.

Communities donate new record total for CHEO’s Kids News - At 7 p.m. the numbers lit up on the giant tote board and told the story of a region that truly loves and supports its children’s hospital. $7,121,350 was the final total during the 2014 CHEO Telethon on CTV. The broadcast, which began at 7 p.m. on Saturday, was a celebration of all things CHEO that included patient stories, interviews with CHEO doctors, nurses and staff, and cheque presentations from a multitude of special event

organizers, donors and sponsors. The final dollar total includes money presented to the CHEO Foundation from special fundraising events and activities conducted throughout the year as well as phone and online donations made by viewers during the telethon. “We are so fortunate to live in such a kind and caring community. Children represent our future and the support that CHEO receives at telethon time and throughout the year enables

the CHEO staff to provide them with the best possible care,� said Kevin Keohane, president and CEO of the CHEO Foundation. “This weekend always has such a special feel as we get to acknowledge and appreciate all of the incredible people who do so much for the children and youth at CHEO. On their behalf, I send out our warmest thanks to everyone who helped make this amazing total a reality. You truly do make a difference in the lives of the

families who need CHEO.�

Proceeds will help CHEO purchase specialized medical equipment, make much needed renovations within the hospital, and conduct life-saving research in areas such as cancer, youth mental health and childhood obesity.

Telethon funds will also help to improve the pediatric nature of the hospital by purchasing games, toys and crafts to make a patient’s stay at CHEO as comfortable as possible.

Raising awareness for ovarian cancer National director of philanthropy for Ovarian Cancer Canada (OCC) Denyse Campeau is joined by Richard Gill, at left, and Cheryl Babineau who hosted a special fundraiser and promotion Saturday to encourage participation in the Ovarian Cancer Canada Walk of Hope, Walk for Her, Sept. 7 from 9 a.m. to noon at the labyrinth at Bittersweet Gallery in Burnstown. This year marks the 13th annual walk and events will be held at 40 locations across the country. A a portion of sales from Look of Luv jewelry sold Saturday was also donated to the cause. Campeau is looking for volunteers and walkers for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event, which she hopes will double last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total to generate $16,000. The national goal is $2.6 million, Campeau encourages teams, as well as individuals, to plan now to participate in the walk, rain or shine. Each year 2,600 women in Canada are newly diagnosed and every year 1,750 women die from ovarian cancer. Statistics say late detection results in five-year survival rates of less than 30 per cent. There is no effective screening test for ovarian cancer. Visit ovariancancerwalkofhope.ca for more information or call 1-877-413-7970.

News – Local crowdfunding is only a click away with a new community-first web platform.

Fuellocal.com is an exciting way for community projects, community causes and entrepreneurs to raise money through a safe, secure online presence.

Crowdfunding is a method of collecting money from an online audience to fund a project, person or a cause. It’s the fastest growing sector of fundraising.

Fuellocal. com is being marketed to local communities by Metroland Media.

“Fuellocal.com is a technology platform that enables local businesses, charities, schools, sports teams and other groups, to raise money from their own community and beyond,” said Terry Kukle, Metroland’s vice-president of business development.

“Until now, there’s been no effective platform for a community to get together to raise money for a local cause,” said Kukle.

“Metroland is all about building our communities. Promoting Fuellocal.com is one more way of staying connected to the communities we serve.”

More than 40,000 people, groups, businesses and non-profits in 20 countries have raised more than $48,000,000 with FundRazr

MOZART Rest in Peace Mozzie

YANTHA; Barry Eugene Douglas (Proud Farmer) Born May 14, 1944, Timmins, ON Deceased May 14,2014 Renfrew Victoria Hospital

Goodbye Mozzie With deep sadness and heavy hearts we at Valley Animal Rescue say goodbye to our dear Mozzie.

We are all humbled and grateful for having the opportunity to rescue Mozart and give him a new life, no matter how short.

Mozzie’s life was a Cinderella story that both broke our hearts and filled them with inspiration and joy. Coming from 13 years of suffering, Mozzie’s last 8 months have been filled with all the joy and pleasures any dog could hope for – he was loved, pampered and given all the happy experiences that time would allow. Mozzie was a charming soul with a happy, friendly nature and a perpetually wagging tail. He was always ready to share his happiness and a few cuddles with anyone and everyone he met.

Mozzie’s all-time favourite treat was timbits and his family and many friends made sure there was always a never ending supply.

His truly wonderful foster, and then adoptive family, Becky and Bryden, gave our sweet old gentleman the best life possible and we are all very grateful to them. When it was clear that his cancer had spread and his time was short, Mozzie’s family created a Bucket List of all the experiences they felt a dog should have before they leave this world. His Bucket List included things like camping in the backyard, a day at the beach, a steak dinner, a ride in a boat and other such doggie delights. They worked their way through as many of these experiences as they could in the time he had left. We sincerely wish such a loving family as this, for every homeless, abused and neglected animal out there.

A very sad day for Valley Animal Rescue and for all those whose lives Mozzie has touched.

Mozzie, it was a true privilege to have had a hand in giving you a new life. You have been an inspiration and an absolute delight to a great many people and you leave this world much better than you found it.

God speed Mozzie and Safe Journey.

Valerie Hutchinson President, Valley Animal Rescue.

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Barry after a lengthy illness and a more recent courageous bout with cancer. His wife Eva and cousin Lorrie Brennan were by his side. He was the proud son of the late Paul and Amelia (Smaglinskie) Yantha. Predeceased by brother Murray Yantha 07/07/07.

In the winter months he had side jobs snow blowing for neighbours and delivering baby farm animals. Fondly remembered by his loving aunt Sally and Robert Sinclair of Toronto and Aunt Ann and Daryl Barstead of Manotick, Uncle Emile (Elsie-deceased) Missuda of Texas.

The win caps off an incredible year for A Tribe Called Red, following the May 2013 release of their critically-acclaimed sophomore album Nation II Nation (Pirates Blend/Tribal Spirit Music), which also earned them a second 2014 Juno nomination for Electronic Album Of The Year, and was shortlisted for the 2013 Polaris Music Prize.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This award doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t belong to us, it belongs to all of us,â&#x20AC;? said Ian â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;DJ NDNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Campeau during a press conference following the win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This moment right here is a perfect example that Aboriginal youth can excel and achieve any goal that they could ever want.

Anything is possible. They can do whatever they want and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re proof of that.â&#x20AC;?

Lifestyle - A Tribe Called Red will be performing at Makwa Fest on June 28 in Pikwakanagan. On Sunday, March 30 A Tribe Called Red made history at the 43rd annual Juno Awards ceremony in Winnipeg. The Ottawa-based trio won Breakthrough Group Of The Year, becoming the first indigenous group to win a Juno outside of the Aboriginal music category.

A Tribe Called Red at Makwa Park June 28

In addition to their Juno nominations, the group were also presenters at the awards broadcast, and opened the awards gala with an incredible live performance of their song Different Heroes.

Barely pausing to soak it all in, the group kicked off a two-week tour in the U.S. that was followed by another twoweek tour in France.

McDougall Mill Museum open for another season McDougall Mill Museum

Community - We’re back! The McDougall Mill Museum is happy to announce that we are officially open for business for the 2014 summer season.

Although we look forward to seeing new faces, we encourage our regular visitors to stop by and check out some of the changes that have gone on since last season.

Built in 1855 by John Lorne McDougall, this beautiful stone mill is now home, through the generous donation of the Murray family, to the McDougall Mill Museum.

You’ll find three floors packed with artifacts, all having once been used or associated with Renfrew’s extraordinary history.

Upstairs you will find our beautiful wedding dress gallery, along with a military display and a wide variety of clothing dating back to the 1800s.

Our main floor is home to our doll collection, newly remodelled kitchen display along with several items and pictures pertaining to

Renfrew’s early industrial days, when the town was home to Renfrew Electric, Renfrew Refrigerator Company, Renfrew Machinery, and the flour and woollen mills.

We’ve been busy rearranging the basement for the past few weeks where you will find our extensive collection of farming equipment and various other tools. Our Renfrew Stoves and Barnet ice boxes are on display along with several of the famous Renfrew Cream Separators.

Additionally, there have been several new activities added to our children’s passport system along with our feature display for this summer – a commemoration to 100 years since the beginning of World War One. We are open seven days a week, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Be sure to stop by, have a look around, and enjoy a picnic in O’Brien Park – where new picnic tables have been installed.

Any questions, please feel free to contact us at (613) 432-2129 or at museum@renfrewmuseum.ca.

CHARLIE JAMIESON PHOTOS/RENFREW POWER GENERATION

Progress continues on construction of the new surge structure located beside the existing lower dam. This structure will include a vertical pipe rising from each of the two penstocks. These vertical pipes will provide pressure relief for the penstocks when the generators stop or start. The base of the pipes can be seen in the middle of the picture. The concrete deck of the structure has been completed, and forms are being constructed to pour the concrete that will constitute the outer walls of the structure.

The penstock being installed from the surge structure to the power house. The dual penstocks are made of fibreglass and measure three metres in diameter.

Work proceeds at hydro project Charlie Jamieson Renfrew Power Generation

Construction of the lower levels of the new powerhouse. The powerhouse foundation will rise from a base spanning 15 metres. The first level was the foundation piles and slab, the second formed the draft tubes into the structure. The picture above shows placement of rebar for the tailrace where the water will exit the powerhouse and return to the river. The centre shows the the draft tubes where water will exit the turbines and the initial forming of the floor where the two turbines will be mounted. The powerhouse will continue to rise creating distinct spaces for the turbines, generators, and electrical control rooms.

News - Work on the Renfrew Power Generation’s Thomas Low Generating Station project continues.

This project is re-developing the Renfrew site at Bridge Street with a new power plant and water conveyance infrastructure with rehabilitation of the existing canal and dam.

Construction started June 10, 2014.

In the last update we indicated work shifted to the lower end of the site to address the surge structure and new powerhouse. You will notice the former parking lot at the main plant has been returned to rough grade and the west entrance is re-opened.

RCI Raiders happy to see CFL club back in the Valley Mascot Big Joe visits RCI Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Sports - The Canadian Football League is back in the Ottawa Valley, and several fans at Renfrew Collegiate Institute couldn’t be happier.

The Ottawa Rough Riders’ legendary history, which ended in 1996, includes the touchdown catch

by Tony Gabriel that won the 1976 Grey Cup in the waning seconds.

RCI Junior Raiders head coach Terry Edwards remembers watching that game with his dad and friends at Dave Jamieson’s place, and he’s extremely pleased local players are going to see the best players in the land play this coming season.

And for those who don’t remember Gabriel’s famous catch, it was replayed before a packed RCI assembly last Friday, as former CFL lineman Mike Sutherland hosted a 25-minute session to show various video footage.

Footage also showed revitalization of the former Lansdowne Park that is now TD Place and a welcome from RedBlacks quarterback Henry Burris who starred with the Calgary Stampeders and Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

Sutherland also introduced four RedBlacks cheerleaders and reminded the audience that the home opener is July 18 against the Toronto Argonauts.

The RedBlacks first play June exhibition games in Regina and Montreal, then start the regular-season July 3 in Winnipeg and July 11 in Edmonton.

Sutherland’s visit also connected with RCI as a former lineman who played alongside RCI grad Ryan Couglan with the Montreal

Alouettes of the CFL about 25 years ago.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Alex Forster wasn’t born when the Rough Riders won the Grey Cup of ’76, but the member of the RCI Senior Raiders football team is excited that Ottawa’s back in the league.

In fact, his September birthday present will be season tickets to see the RedBlacks, the third Ottawa franchise to play in the CFL. “It was interesting,” said Forster of the RedBlacks assembly.

“It got me pumped up about the season.”

RCI Junior Raider Alex Stafford is also pleased.

The assembly “was pretty awesome,” said Stafford, who’s pleased the CFL is coming back to the national capital.

STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND “I just love football.”

Ottawa RedBlacks mascot Big Joe joins members of the Renfrew Collegiate Institute Raiders junior and senior football teams Typically an Argonauts during Friday’s assembly. fan, he says this season he’ll be cheering for Toronto and Ottawa.

After the Rough Riders dissolved, Ottawa returned as the Renegades from 2002 to 2008, before ownership issues got the better of them.

Now fans are hoping and expecting this Ottawa team will be back for the long haul as the ninth club in a league that could expand to 10 teams.

Ottawa’s return to the CFL is great, says coach Edwards, particularly because RCI football is popular and attracts athletes who might not otherwise play organized sports.

Edwards also fondly recalls watching the Rough Riders with his dad, and looks forward to being in the stands again this season.

RCI Raiders Tubman, Pettigrew compete at OFSAA Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - Amanda Tubman and Ryan Pettigrew finished the high school track and field season among the top 24 in the province in their respective events.

The two Renfrew Collegiate Raiders competed at the Ontario high school (OFSAA) championship hosted by St. Marcellinus Secondary School in Mississauga June 5 to 7.

Tubman qualified in two events. The senior girl was third (33.96 metres) in the javelin and fourth (9.85 metres) in the shot put the previous week at the East Regional championship.

On Friday, Tubman ranked 18th in the shot put at 9.78 metres in a tough field versus the best Ontario has to offer.

On Saturday, Tubman was 21st in the javelin at 27.59 metres. To show the qualify of the competition, had Tubman thrown her previous week’s result, she would have finished eighth.

PETTIGREW IN HIGH JUMP

Pettigrew was third in the midget boys high jump in the East Regionals when he cleared the bar at 1.65 metres.

He bettered that at OFSAA Saturday with a jump of 1.70 metres for an 11th-place finish.

Pettigrew had company as the four opponents who placed seventh through 10th also finished at 1.70 metres.

Eganvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bishop named to Commonwealth Games team Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Sports - Olympic middledistance runner Melissa Bishop of Eganville was nervous about her chances of making the 2014 Commonwealth Games team, but not anymore.

Last week, Bishop was among 50 athletes Athletics Canada nominated to the team competing in Glasgow, Scotland July 27 to Aug. 2.

She had easily made Athletics Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s B standard of 2:01.50 in the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 800, but wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t guaranteed a berth because she hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run the A standard of two minutes ďŹ&#x201A;at this season.

Races in May in California, Oregon and Windsor, Ont., where she trains, were all sub 2:01, but shy of the coveted two-minute barrier as Athletics Canada was expected to name a team of about 40 athletes.

But Athletics Canada nominated a larger team last week, as Bishop now looks forward to taking full advance of the chance to wear Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this is a great de-

velopment opportunity,â&#x20AC;? said Bishop, 25. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every race is an opportunity and every time you get to race for Canada itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big deal.â&#x20AC;?

Bishop has broken 2:00 in previous seasons, as the third of four Canadian women to do so, en route to qualifying for the 2012 Olympic Games and 2013 World Championships.

Each time she did not advance out of the opening heats.

Last season she broke new ground, with her ďŹ rst medals in an international games, as she collected a silver medal in the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 4 x 400 relay and a bronze in the 800 at the Francophone Games in France.

Upcoming 2014 opportunities include the national championships in Moncton in late June. She was also scheduled to compete yesterday (June 11) at the renowned Bislett Games in Norway.

While she hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run as fast as she wanted so far this season, Bishop says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pleased with the increased volume in her training.

Her goal at the conclusion of last season is also unchanged as far as the Commonwealth Games. She wants to reach

Rowat rules in Renfrew rec league play Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Sports - Rowat Insurance had a strong round June 2 at the Renfrew Golf Club to capture the most recent A ďŹ&#x201A;ight in menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recreational league play.

A second-round 59 gave Rowat a total score of 128, for a two-stroke lead over runner-up Welch LLP. In the B ďŹ&#x201A;ight, Schwartz ran away with the title, outscoring runner-up Bushwackers 131 to 136.

It was another ďŹ ve-stroke winning margin in the C ďŹ&#x201A;ight, with Deslaurier Custom Cabinets using rounds of 69 and 67 for a 136 total. Pontiac was tied with Deslaurier after the opening round, but a second-round 72 left them second at 141.

In the D ďŹ&#x201A;ight, it was Swatters 146, Renfrew Victoria Hospital 149 and Ottawa Valley Solar 150.

Closest-to-the-pin honours went to Justin Riopelle on the second hole, Terry Dubeau on No. 4, Marv Riopelle on 14 and Don Logan on 17.

The random-team draw winner was Riopelle Painting. Individual randomdraw winners were Jordan Wall and Fred Forster.

Final skate-sharpening agreement for Rat Pro Shop at Ma-Te-Way

Renfrew County rises to Lanark’s fitness challenge Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon.

“It’s a great way for residents of Renfrew County to engage in a friendly competition while making active transportation a part of their regular routine in a safe and easy manner.”

“Our goal is to create healthier communities where all children, families and seniors have safe and accessible spaces to walk and bike more,” added Shawna Babcock, chair of the Physical Activity Network for Renfrew County.

“Active communities are important for the health and well-being of our youngest population and for a higher and healthier quality of life as we get older.”

The Silver Chain Challenge kicked off with two events. First, the Eastern Ontario Active Transportation Summit was held May 28-29 in Mississippi Mills at the Old Almonte Town Hall. Dur-

Lawrenson at Peaks Countryfest June 28 Ashley Kulp Metroland

Community - Lessons learned over the years and staying true to herself has aided Carleton Placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brea Lawrenson on her path to musical greatness.

Most recently on May 6, Lawrenson continued her ascension in the country music world when she was named a top eight ďŹ nalist in the Boots and Hearts Music Festival Emerging Artist Showcase. Voting took place between May 6 to 27 for a chance to perform on the Boots and Hearts main stage Sunday, Aug. 3, opening for American country music singer and Grammy Award nominee Hunter Hayes, as well as earning a single release with Big Machine Label Group Canada. The festival runs from July 31 to Aug. 3 at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Bowmanville.

Lawrenson ended up fourth in place, garnering 14,380. The winner was Ty Baynton, who received 50,238 votes. Even though she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grab the top prize, Lawrenson will still get her chance in the spotlight at Boots and Hearts on Sunday, Aug. 3. Voting also determined artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; placement in the lineup to perform in front of a panel of judges at the SiriusXM Front Porch Stage, so Lawrenson will be the fourth musician to take the stage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so excited and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been thinking a lot about it,â&#x20AC;? she said during a recent interview with the Canadian Gazette. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;ŚItâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s huge because Boots and Hearts is probably one of the biggest premier country music festivals in Canada with big acts from Nashville and the opportunity to open up the stage to Canadian talent and emerging artists is really helpful. These festivals are what helps keep music going.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;ŚI still get to play the festival, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited either way,â&#x20AC;? Lawrenson added.

A few weeks ago, she was also announced as a headliner for the Calabogie Country Music Festival June 27 to 29 at Calabogie Peaks. Lawrenson will perform at 6 p.m. on June 28. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s her second year at the festival after opening for Canadian Country Music Award winner Bobby Wills.

Lawrenson had ďŹ rst heard about the showcase competition last year when fellow Carleton Place singer, Jordan McIntosh, (who she calls â&#x20AC;&#x153;inspiringâ&#x20AC;?) was a ďŹ nalist in

She was humbled when she received the news. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just went on their site and sent in submissions and I got an email a few months after that (about being a ďŹ nalist) and was all excited,â&#x20AC;? she remarked, adding that a blogger friend helped her jazz up her online portfolio, which she believes helped. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;ŚI think his hard work really got their attention.â&#x20AC;?

LONG ROAD

Since emerging on the local music scene when she was a teenager, 27-year-old Lawrenson has found her calling in the country music genre and hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looked back. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performed across Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. She admitted sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grown over the years and learned a lot about the industry, which isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always a friendly place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone wants you to sound a certain way and everyone has something to say about how you look and how you sound.

Peace of Mind for Jane Jane worried about her parents. She couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be there with them all the me.

The biggest thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned is that when I started doing things the way I wanted to do them, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when things started happening for me,â&#x20AC;? she commented.

Lawrenson started off in the pop scene, but feedback from record company representatives was often that there was â&#x20AC;&#x153;too much twang in my voice or I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough edge.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I started writing songs with my guitar, (country music) came out naturally,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very country and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the way I am. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m from a small town and I love to sing country music.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned a lot. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy everything happened the way it did. I was so young and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how hard it (music industry) was,â&#x20AC;? Lawrenson continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was really lucky to be able to grow up with the support system I have.â&#x20AC;?

At 20, she took a hard look at her career and where she wanted to be. She has released three albums so far in her career and singles â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Honeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;With You Whiskeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bottom of the Bottleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, launched in March and currently #60 on the Canadian country music charts, have all received plenty of airplay on Country101. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At 27, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ďŹ nally getting my career off the ground. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really thankful for all the experience Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken it and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helped me stay aďŹ&#x201A;oat and be successful,â&#x20AC;? she said.

A close partnership with the Carleton Place Sister City Committee, which is twinned with Franklin, Tennessee, afforded Lawrenson the chance to cut her musical teeth in Franklin and Nashville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I now have some great connections in Franklin, which is right outside of Nashville, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been amazing,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;ŚWriting and learning how to write good country songs and meeting those people wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have happened if I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gone to Nashville.â&#x20AC;?

Lawrenson said her â&#x20AC;&#x153;skin is also thickerâ&#x20AC;? from all of her experiences. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned to let things roll off your shoulders. I think about why I decided to start singing and I do it because it makes me happy. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really that simple,â&#x20AC;? she noted.

Cedar waxwings pass the food along

GRAY JAYS NEST

Dodie Bailey counted a pair of gray jays in a recent bird count and has received information that the pair nested and there is at least one young bird. Gray jays are very open about their ability to take food from picnic tables or unaware diners but they are secretive about their nesting habits.

Gray jays are suspected of hoarding animal hair, deer or moose, for later use during nest building when insulation is needed. In northern areas they may nest when there is still snow on the ground.

NOW HERE, NOW GONE

Terry Cunningham sent us this email on June 2. It seems the bluebirds are gone and the nest is empty, it has been cleaned and I

A turtle attempts to make its way across Opeongo Road in Renfrew.

Turtles start trek to nesting grounds Jim Ferguson

Lifestyle -This time of year female turtles begin their trek to their nesting grounds. Nothing else living on earth today is quite like a turtle.

The Pembroke District Fish and Wildlife Committee is initiating a program to help stop the destruction of our native turtles. The committee is promoting conservation measures to bring turtle numbers back to where they were in the 1900s.

The committee asks you to drive carefully when crossing turtle migration pathways to avoid killing the turtles.

There are signs in many areas indicating where the turtles cross the road.

hope they will return. On June 7 he wrote: It seems that the bluebirds have returned to the same nest box where young were fledged before. I hope they have the same luck this time.

It is impossible to tell if it is the same pair or not. We wish them luck in any case.

A SAD OUTCOME

We received information this week that a snowy owl was found dead on a local farm.

Margo and Daniel Aubert had seen the bird sitting on a post near their home. It appeared to be hunting but unfortunately was unable to find food. It could be the same bird we reported on two weeks ago because the two locations are about a mile (1.5 km) apart.

Most birds of prey that are found die of starvation. Margo said the owl was thin and weighed very little.

HUMMINGBIRD MOTHS

Pauline and Kevin Hughes have a bumble bee hummingbird moth feeding on the flowers in their flower beds. We can be fooled by these look-a-likes.

We think they are very large bees or very small hummingbirds. Their wing beat is slower than a hummingbird and their hum is much lower in pitch.

They feed on nectar and are found among

On behalf of the Queen Elizabeth Crushers Destination Imagination Team we would sincerely like to thank you for the sponsorship you provided in supporting our trip to Globals in Tennessee. Thanks to your generous sponsorship our team of seven students (Sadie Cucarro, Sam Buxton, Hannah Hubert, Kenya Stevenson, Ben Cracknell, Carson Lefebvre and Tal Stevenson) were able to travel to Knoxville, Tennessee to participate in skill building, problem solving and inquiry workshops.

Bobolinks, sometimes referred to as skunk birds, have been seen in many locations. They are the only bird that has lightcoloured feathers above and dark feathers below. The male’s familiar banjo-like song and fluttering wings as he hovers over the nest site are good field marks of the bobolink. Ron Golden saw several bobolinks claiming a territory this past week.

Carleton Ford would like to welcome Patrick McMahon!

Patrick comes to Carleton Place with over 20 years Ford sales experience.

Patrick has been a long time residence of Arnprior.

Carleton Ford and Patrick invite past and present customers to come in to visit.

SUMMER FEEDING

Summer feeding programs, especially hummingbird feeders, will entice birds to come close enough for us to observe their feeding and nesting habits. Other birds, finches (including grosbeaks) and woodpeckers will arrive to feed on sunflower and mixed seed. If you put out suet for the birds make sure it does not become rancid as it will stain their breast feathers and attract parasites. It is always a good policy to keep your feeders cleaned and well stocked.

We find that moving them around the yard also prevents the accumulation of droppings which can be a host for salmonella bacteria.

Some species like rock pigeons and common grackles like corn and will chase all other birds away. If you stop feeding the corn they will get the message and leave, we hope.

Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road. RR5, Renfrew, Ont., K7V 3Z8. Phone 613-432-2738 or email jamesh@nrtco.net

Lifestyle - Cedar waxwings have a mate selection display that could be called “passing the food along”.

In this display a male will select a berry, a cherry or the key from a maple tree and perch beside a prospective mate. If a female she may leave, join him in the display and pass the offering back, or make no response.

The birds may fly in fast circular flights and then repeat the display. If the prospective mate is a male he will perform an aggressive display such as lowering his head as if to charge.

The birds may also perch, several in a row, and pass an apple or plum blossom petal along the line of birds. Usually the last bird in the line will eat the petal.

Richard Brennan observed this display with the birds passing a maple key between them. This display takes place during migration as well as near the nest site or a chosen territory.

Lifestyle - Duplicate Bridge on Wednesday, June 4 saw seven tables in play at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre, with five new players welcomed to the game: Congratulations to the winners: • North-South: 1st – Garry Irving and Andy Sklepowicz; 2nd – Jeannie Yagminas and Pamela Deacon; 3rd – Anna McCallum and Gwen Latendresse.

• East West: 1st – Sue Quinn and Margaret McManus, 2nd – Jerry and Maxine Lapierre, 3rd – Mona Brydges and Diaan Juby tied with Fran Bonner and Yolande Baillon.

There were plenty of slams bid in today’s game. However, special note must be made regarding North-South

Turtles From page 40

MNR. Turtles have many people predators whether they are intentional or not. Turtle eggs are collected commercially by the hundreds of thousands, no eggs no turtles.

Box turtles and sliders are collected in great numbers for the pet trade, no little turtles no

big turtles. Prime turtle nesting areas in Southern Ontario have been paved over, female turtles cannot dig through pavement. Many of our turtles are crushed by motor vehicles while crossing our busy highways, a dead turtle cannot reproduce.

Help them where you can.

If a female turtle lays her eggs on your property, cover the nest to keep the raccoons from destroying the eggs. If young are born on your property help them get to water. If you see turtles being intentionally destroyed notify the

first place winners Garry Irving and Andy Sklepowicz who were the only pair to bid and make seven hearts for a grand total of 1510. What a wonderful grand slam!

East-West first place winners Sue Quinn and Margaret McManus also had reason to celebrate, with a spectacularly high overall score of 76.67 per cent. Anything over 60 per cent is considered a very good result. Well done, Sue and Margaret!

Duplicate bridge begins at 1 p.m. each Wednesday. Everyone is welcome. Partners are provided for those who come early.

Crunch time leading up to Art in the Park in Renfrew Diana Wakely Renfrew Art Guild

Lifestyle - This is called crunch time, leading up to the Art in the Park 2014, July 12 and 13.

It is hard to believe it is our third year.

We realized that RAG had not had a summer show for a number of years since the Valleyfest days.

A stalwart group decided to bite the bullet and try something new – exhibit our artwork under tents in a field, at Haramis Park.

That first year was a true learning process. Hot, oh yes, but people came and were pleased with what they saw. We were astonished that almost a thousand people came and this buoyed us up for last year’s show.

Again the people came from up and down the Valley from Ottawa, Perth, Deep River and Gatineau and we doubled our attendance. Well, this year is going to be more spectacular.

We have 41 artists from all types of medi-

ums. There are 10 new artists who are taking part. It will be an event not to be missed.

Battle of the Canvas is a new event this year.

This is Renfrew’s version of the Art Battle held in towns and cities across Canada.

A couple of us had the opportunity to take part in Art Battle in Shawville and it was a blast.

On Saturday, July 12 at 1 p.m. artists taking part will be given a count down. Each artist will be given 20 minutes to paint a picture!

Given such a short time period and have everyone watching you is a true challenge.

R0102652272-0612

Well, true to the Valley spirit we have a number of crazy artists willing to take part.

At the end of the 20 minutes the public gets to vote on the winner of that round.

Depending on how many participate, we might need more than one round each day.

The Battle will continue on Sunday at 1 p.m. and at the end of day two the artist with the most votes will be declared the winner.

Donohue Art and Frame is the sponsor and will be awarding prizes for first, second and third.

This is fun, crazy and something to watch. So come along and enjoy.

Our July 8 meeting will be held at Trinity St. Andrew’s United Church at 7 p.m. at 291 Plaunt St., Renfrew (please use Quarry Street entrance). Everyone welcome.

Our theme is being free. Bring your version, sketch, painting whatever being free means to you.

Check out our webpage www.renfrewartguild.ca For more information, call Diana at 613-433-3635.

Community - Jacey Templeton and her mom, Tammy Ott, share their big smiles, hats and spirit during the Community Spirit Bogie Style festival May 31. The festival was intended to create community spirit and raise funds for the roof that will cover the Calabogie community rink by this fall. The community spirit awards went to Craig Sackmann, Sharon Ferguson, and the couple of Patti Lewis and Glenda Strudwick. With community members’ financial contributions such an essential part of fundraising for the project, rink roof committee chairperson Kim Rekowski says, “This roof will definitely be built by the community for the community.” The festival raised $3,700.

When he wasn’t wearing his Superman shirt while playing in the Community Spirit Bogie Style softball tourney, he sat in the dunk tank taking his chances. On the ball diamond, McKechnie Contracting won the A title and Colterman Sluggers took the B. The home run derby winners were Kevin Pennock and Barb Beimers.

Lifestyle - Renfrew Collegiate Institute’s parenting class ran a successful play date with a junior and senior kindergarten class from Queen Elizabeth Elementary School May 29.

The play date was part of a summative assignment where the class had to demonstrate that they could plan, organize and carry out an age appropriate activity for a specific age group.

Mrs. Raudssus’s class walked over to the high school in the morning.

The students were greeted by the parenting class in the cafeteria and escorted to the classrooms where they worked one on one with two QE students.

The students performed a magic milk science experiment, made an animal mask and worked on their literacy skills during lunch.

“This experience was an eye opener because it allowed us to see the varying degrees of learning between the two age groups,” said RCI student Alycia Cooco.

The parenting class at RCI does a lot of hands-on activities that prepare the students for the real world of parenting. This particular experience was wonderful and it was beneficial to both classes.

The Heartbreakers

RENFREW MINOR BASEBALL MP Cheryl Gallant helps cut the ribbon to officially open the Golden Age Activity Centre computer café. From left are supporter Judy Ewart, executive director of Renfrew and Area Seniors Home Support; Gallant; Golden Age Activity Centre programmer and administrative assistant Nellie Kingsbury; and Coun. Jim Miller.

News - Staff and local senior residents were celebrants at the official opening of Golden Age Activity Centre’s computer café in downtown Renfrew last Friday.

The three-computer setup is one of the benefits of a federal government New Horizons grant of $24,900 to upgrade the facilities at the seniors drop-in centre on Raglan Street with other additions, including a piano and platforms for an entertainment stage.

“Computers are now an essential part of life in 2014, and our seniors will receive excellent opportunities to become acquainted with and learn to enjoy this technology,” said Gallant at the opening.

Coun. Jim Miller expressed satisfaction with the new services, while Golden Age Activity Centre programmer Nellie Kingsburgy said the computer café should “help seniors stay connected with technology, and (therefore) with friends and family and the world.”

In addressing a small gathering at the opening of the computer café, Gallant said she couldn’t believe how the centre has been transformed in the past year. She also presented a certificate to recognize the centre’s instructors, staff and members of the board of directors.

The deadline for other New Horizons grants is July 4. For more details on how to apply, visit www.cherylgallant.com and click on the New Horizons for Seniors button.

BY MARY COOK

it meant when Aunt Lizzie had come from Regina one time and, as well as declaring Mother as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;not being of the best farm material she had ever seenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, she also said Mother created what was called a divided household for her brother, my father.

So I dared to ask, what was a divided household?

Mother ignored my question, but my sister Audrey jumped right in and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;it means Father is a Lutheran, and Mother is a Catholicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Well, that was all news to me! The nearest Catholic church was in Renfrew and not once did we ever go to a church service in the Catholic church in Renfrew! How could Mother be a Catholic and not go to church every Sunday? Now, she did have a Rosary, and she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat meat on Fridays, and on occasion I did see her cross herself, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as far as it went. Why, we often sang on the street corner with the Salvation Army band in Renfrew. Did that make us Salvation Army members?

Anyway, as far as Mother was concerned the discussion was over, and Audrey and I headed for the swing in the grape arbour.

I told Audrey I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to go to one church and have her go to another. I told her about the time she was asked to sing a hymn and how I tingled from my head to my toes with pride, and how everyone said she sang like a bird, and I just knew she would be asked to sing again some day. And whose shoulder could I lean against when I nodded off during the sermon?

Certainly not my brother Emersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell by looking at Audrey sitting across from me in the swing, if I had been able to convince her to stay a Lutheran. I had to think of something that

would leave no doubt in her mind that going to the United Church just wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a good idea.

And then it hit me!

Right out of the blue! â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hear Shirleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother from the Barr Line is going to join the Lutheran Church. Remember how he chose your cake at the cake auction at our church, cost him a whole quarter, too. He sure had the sweets on you.â&#x20AC;?

I had no idea in the world whether or not Shirleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother had any intention of joining the Lutheran church, but this issue called for drastic measures, and if that meant telling a little white lie, so be it!

Audrey got a dreamy look in her eyes, which was a very good sign.

I thought I would seal the deal by adding a bit more to the story. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shirley said he is now old enough to drive the car too. Loves to go into Renfrew to the picture shows.â&#x20AC;? I had my fingers crossed behind my back, which was supposed to get rid of the sin of telling a lie.

I sure hoped it worked, because I had no idea if Shirleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family even owned a car. They came to church in a horse and buggy.

Well, that did the trick. Audrey put her head back in the swing, and pushed the boards gently with her feet, and the swing squeaked back and forth in a steady rhythm. I knew she was thinking of trips into Renfrew to the picture show, and Shirleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother sitting in a pew in the Lutheran Church.

Joining the United Church was never mentioned again.

Lifestyle - â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being Lutheran is no fun,â&#x20AC;?

Audrey said for the umpteenth time that morning.

Mother let out a loud sigh, and I knew what was coming next, because my sister, on the rare occasions she even bothered to discuss with me anything the least bit serious, had talked about this very thing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we have more Sunday picnics like the Uniteds?

Beatrice said there are at least two more picnics this summer, and we Lutherans have yet to have even one!â&#x20AC;?

Audrey was wiping the oilcloth on the kitchen table, and she was rubbing so hard I thought she was going to rub out the checked red and white pattern!

And then she took the argument even further by suggesting she saw no reason why she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to the United Church and the rest of the family stay Lutheran. Well, that tore it!

Mother sat Audrey down at one end of the table, just by pointing her finger to the nearest chair, and she sat at the other end.

There was nothing I liked better than a good heated discussion, and I knew I was about to witness a dandy. Nothing bothered Mother more than to have one of us argue about going to church. Even though we came from what Aunt Lizzie called a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;divided householdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, to Mother going to the Lutheran church every Sunday was just as important as doing the washing on Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and having our weekly bath on Saturday night!

There were no questions asked as far as going to church was concerned, and only a calamity of the highest order would keep us away.

Mother told Audrey you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to church to have fun. You were there to learn about the bible, and listen to a good message.

I thought it was a good time to bring up the subject of our divided household, since we were talking church and all.

I had no idea what

www.cherylgallant.com One of the biggest day-to-day challenges I face as your Federal Member of Parliament is the fight against those individuals who want to take away jobs from three of Renfrew Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest employers; AECL, forestry and our Military. In the past, Canada traditionally had two centrist parties, Conservatives and Liberals, and a variety of fringe, special interest groups. With the rise of the left-wing (interventionist, big government, high taxes) NDP, and the decision of the liberal party to shift left to meet that threat, the Canadian consensus on issues like reliable power, developing our resource heritage and a credible defence has broken down.

During a recent debate on AECL, as I defended the almost 3,000 direct local jobs at stake, the Opposition NDP and 3rd party Liberals responded with mis-informed comments based on events that happened decades ago in other countries with no relevance to Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nuclear industry.

The same thing happens with Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renewable forest industry. The latest fad is â&#x20AC;&#x153;greenwashing,â&#x20AC;? the practice where people are told to do something to help the environment, when in actual fact itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a money scam. An example of this is the trend of some companies to charge a â&#x20AC;&#x153;feeâ&#x20AC;? for paper bills. That fee is all about additional profits. Ontario employs some of the best forest management practices. We are the envy of the world. We plan, we harvest and we renew as well or better than the vast majority of any other jurisdiction. Harvesting keeps our forest healthy. Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forests are protected from fire. Harvesting is the only effective means to renew the boreal forest outside a fire based renewal cycle. Boreal forest trees species have finite life spans. If we protect our boreal forests from fire we must harvest them or be prepared to have them age, die, rot, release carbon and cease to support all wildlife which depends on uneven forest composition to remain viable.

As a 14-year veteran of the Standing Committee on National Defence, I have had a long-standing interest in the care and the well-being of the women and men who serve Canada in uniform. I have watched in disgust every time our soldiers and veterans have been made into political footballs and kicked around by the opposition.

The worst example for our women and men in uniform was the decision by the Liberal Party to use military procurement for partisan purposes and send our soldiers into Afghanistan without the proper equipment.

The cancellation of the EH101 military helicopter contract for partisan political reasons cost the precious lives of Canadian soldiers. It is a fact that once our Conservative government provided the strategic lift for our soldiers to get them off the ground and away from the improvised explosive devices (IEDs) that lined the roads of Afghanistan, the casualty rate dropped.

The current official opposition, regardless of what it says, does not believe that Canada should have a properly equipped military. Every time the Leader of the Opposition invokes the name of our soldiers and veterans, the purpose is to embarrass the government. As proof, they have voted against every measure that increased funding to our military.

I did not choose to be your Member of Parliament to sit on my hands and say nothing. And, from time to time saying unpopular things might make me unpopular with the left-wing crowd. Rest assured that I will continue to stand up for the hard-working people at AECL, serving or have served their country in Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s military or are employed in the working forest!

As your Federal Member of Parliament, I am pleased to represent you on a variety of issues. Whether that issue is promoting agriculture, international trade, Canadian Unity, AECL, the military or jobs in the working forest, I am here to serve you! As always, if you have any concerns of a federal nature, or just want to share your views with me, please do not hesitate to contact my office.

Camp Day another success Staff member Cheryl Warren hands a coffee to customer Gail Obst at one of Renfrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two Tim Hortons during Camp Day. The annual Camp Day happened June 4 to raise funds to send thousands of kids to one of six Tim Hortons camps in North America this year.

Last year the program raised a record $11.8 million to send more than 17,000 children to camp. The very first Tim Horton Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foundation camp happened in 1975 in Parry Sound, Ont., for 200 youth, but by yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end more than 200,000 will have attended one of these camps at no cost to them or their families. All Camp Day proceeds from coffee sales were donated to make these camp adventures possible.
