Intangible bits of Lynn Clelland’s influence are imbedded within the very fabric of the 4-H Club in Renfrew County.

For more than 50 years, she has been part of the association, but it was her tireless efforts as a volunteer and leader that have awarded her the Syngenta 4-H Ontario Arbor Award.

“Lynn has been a steadfast 4-H leader ever since I came and has stuck with us through the good times and bad times,” said nominator Anne Bromley. “There have been some situations that were not nice and she stuck with 4-H.” Clelland has always been the goto person for everything from policy, procedure and project manual creation to advocating for the club at the provincial level to square dancing to inspiring the next generation of leaders.

She has had a positive impact on countless youths, molding, forming them and teaching them not only to be good 4-H members, but good people as well.

“Everything we do effects somebody and when you are effect lives positively that is a wonderful thing for all of us,” said local MPP John Yakabuski about Clelland’s legacy.

Build it and the power will come Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

The mostly-local wheels for Renfrew Power Generation’s new $20 million Thomas Low generating station are definitely in motion.

Renfrew-based BEI (Bonnechere Excavating Incorporated) will have equipment in the ground this month as the civil contractor for the entire project. Other major contractors include Norcan Hydraulic Turbine Inc., of Carleton Place, that will build and install two turbines and two generators for the new station, and BluMetric Environmental, in Carp, that is doing environmental, design and engineering work.

These companies were among those singled out during the launch at Renfrew Power Generation June 5 before a crowd of about 70 people.

Officials present included Renfrew Mayor Bill

Ringrose, project director Charlie Jamieson and special projects manager Peter Boldt of Renfrew Power Generation (RPG), and Ontario Waterpower Association president Paul Norris.

“It’s a truly a great day for the company, for the Town of Renfrew and for the waterpower industry,” said Norris.

“In our world, this would be called small hydro, but I can assure you the word small should not be confused with the term insignificant.

“In fact, in Ontario just the opposite is true. In Ontario we have 204 operating waterpower facilities.

RPG project launch Continued from front

“More than half of those are located in southern Ontario, and almost two-thirds of those are considered small hydro,” continued Norris.

“Most of those facilities have been providing renewable, reliable electricity for decades, and many for more than a century. In fact, up until 1951 all of the province’s electricity came from falling water. Waterpower, and small hydro in particular, has been the backbone of our electricity system since the first facility went into service, just down the road from here, in Chaudière.”

As one who grew up beside an eastern Ontario grist mill, Norris said the “very existence and identity of our communities is owed to the proximity to water. Our forefathers settled in this province to take advantage of the power of water, be it for log driving, mechanical energy or electrical energy.”

Renfrew’s realization of its power potential, added Norris, is a script repeated in such places as Orillia, Bracebridge, Parry Sound, Peterborough and Minden.

Renfrew Power Generation’s new project also fits into a continuing and successful economic trend. Norris noted that an independent socio-economic analysis commissioned by the Ministry of Natural Resources last year found investments in small hydro will result in more than $800 million in project investments, almost $500 million in operating and maintenance investments, $45 million in provincial resource royalties and almost 10,000 direct or indirectly-induced jobs.

More importantly, Norris said those in the waterpower industry recognize that small-hydro projects may take longer to be built, but “we last forever. I can tell you today that our

entire membership celebrates this event because it shows once again that waterpower … is as important to our future as it has been to our history.”

RPG’s two current plants, which are both more than a century old, could be updated and refurbished, but at prohibitive costs.

“When you look at the economics to bring the current plants up to a good standard, to get them to run another 50 to 100 years, it’s more economic to build a new plant,” said Boldt.

Each of the old plants has a one megawatt capacity, while the new station’s capacity will be four megawatts.

This will allow RPG to access more water, but not result in new flows or levels to the Bonnechere River, said Boldt.

NO NEW FLOWS ON BONNECHERE

“We’re under the Bonnechere River Management Plan, and that plan still exists and will still be the same when this new plant is up and running.”

The doubled capacity, explained Boldt, will result in a 25 per cent increase in the production of renewable energy. The increase will also mean increased ability to repay TorontoDominion’s $20 million loan.

“This is a very, very important moment for me,” said Boldt, who apologized for any tears he might shed at the official launch.

The new station, which will take about 18 months to build, will repair and modify the existing dam and canal infrastructure and build a new powerhouse on the existing Renfrew Power Generation site.

The company has come a long way since the building of an electrical power plant in 1903, whose future back then was considered suspect.

“A hundred years later, because of the diligence, because of the vision that these guys had, I’ve got a power plant that I’ve been running for many years, and it’s the same around Ontario. We’re long-living monuments to the mentality these guys had at the start.”

Renfrew Mayor Bill Ringrose said the proj-

ect is a good news story at many levels.

“It increases the long-term supply of green energy in the province, injects much needed stimulus, creates jobs in the local economy and renews the town’s RPG asset, ensuring longterm revenues for the Town of Renfrew,” he said.

“Now we’re looking forward to seeing it built and, ultimately, the decades of experience we’ve had with the old plants will be carried forward with the new plant.

“Thank you to the people who got us here,” concluded the mayor, “and I look forward to seeing the shovels in the ground.”

LAFTer provides the best medicine LAFT Players

It appears reports of the final curtain on local amateur theatre group LAFT Players were somewhat premature.

LAFT (Local Acting Faces Troupe) Players is in the process of re-organizing and remaking itself. Preparations are underway to produce a fall production.

The re-born theatre group will be spearheaded by Kathy and Norm Dagg, who bring their many years of experience as founders of Really Cool Initiatives to the mix.

The Daggs will be joined by Gladys and Doug Sidock, key organizers of the LAFT Players since their inception.

The group of four principal organizers will be building a team of talented technical, behind-the-scenes and administrative volunteers to support the performers on stage.

“Our combined experience and involvement in local

theatre over the past decade tells us that there is no shortage of talent available in Renfrew and the surrounding area,” said Kathy Dagg.

“We will be reaching out to our many contacts to help us to ensure that local theatre thrives. The public wants top notch local entertainment and if we put quality shows on the stage, the people of this community will fill the seats. The support is definitely out there.”

The first production of the newly re-born LAFT Players will come to the stage Nov. 16 to 25.

The play, The Last Resort, is described as a “murder mystery, comedy with music,” was written by Canadian playwright Norman Foster.

The show will be directed by Kathy Dagg, with the support of Gladys Sidock as producer and a team of really cool people without whom the show could not go on.

Money Concepts plans to revive its popular dinner theatre fundraiser event in partnership with LAFT and will be sponsoring the closing night performance.

Like the Bonnechere River, Clelland feeds the next generation, never letting traditions wither away.

She is deeply rooted into the community with her volunteer work, particularly with youth and she has

“If you don’t train somebody to take your place, the whole thing runs out pretty quickly,” she added.

Clelland was chosen out of 16 nominees.

Being recognized for all her efforts with the highest and most prestigious 4-H award is absolutely awesome, said Clelland.

“To know that the association thought I was worthy of nomination was such an incredible feeling,” she added.

Scores of people, young and old, showed up to cheer her on as the organization held a tree planting ceremony in her honour on June 8.

She picked the Hemlock as her tree of choice.

“Hemlocks are a very strong and long lasting wood,” said Yakabuski addressing the award winner. “I think that’s a testament to your strength and your long service to 4-H as well.”

It was planted on the grounds of the municipal offices in AdmastonBromley.

Terms of reference for beach development include doing a cost-benefit vs. cost-of-service study, and determining: • the cost to construct washrooms and change rooms, • the location for utilities, • operating times from June to Labour Day, • and who conducts waterquality tests how often and at what cost.

General terms of reference include addressing: • the positive and negative benefits of having a beach, • if volunteer labour be used to develop the beach or operate the property, • if the beach is not developed, what the township could do with the land.

Financial terms of reference include: • developing a draft operating budget that includes building reserves for future development, • determining if there’s a user fee for the beach, and • determining expected revenue per year,

“That is that 4-H members are learning all sorts of skills that they will use for the rest of their lives,” said Clelland. “They are making friendships that will stay for the rest of their lives. Some of the best friends I have, I met in 4-H.” Clelland firmly believes that it is one of the most amazing organizations around for youth and holds firm to the “learning by doing” motto.

Through it she has seen many

young people flourish.

“When they (youth) are in 4-H, they get the chance to do that and because there are so many clubs they can choose what they want to learn whether its chickens or rabbits or baking cakes or square dancing,” she said. “It doesn’t matter. They can pick the one they want and go with it.”

“I just want the kids to have what I had when I was growing up,” she added.

Horton could have a new public beach as early as the summer of 2014. However, that will be largely be determined by the township’s new and now active beach subcommittee.

Horton has a boat launch where the Bonnechere and Ottawa rivers meet, but there is no official township beach.

The closest would be the Burnstown beach in McNabBraeside.

The sub-committee met for the first time May 29 and was to meet again June 11, as members work to determine if the river area of the former Timbertown property should be sold or developed into a beach and picnic area.

The property is located just off River Road, a few kilometres west of the intersection of River and Castleford roads.

Horton CAO-clerk Mackie McLaren chairs the eight-person committee, whose other members are Coun. Margaret Whyte, recreation program manager Kathleen Rogers, Ralph Miller of the recreation committee, and four members

of the public — Edgar Elliott, Bob Johnston, Steve Osipenko and Sandra Black.

“I’m the chair because council was looking for an impartial person to lead it,” said McLaren.

“The jist of it,” he said, “is: Should we develop it? Should we make a beach and swimming area? Should we just hang on to it for future needs and not develop it at all? Or should we sell it and put the money into other recreation?”

McLaren says the committee is pretty equally divided, at this early stage, on whether to develop or sell the property.

“Hopefully by winter a committee recommendation will be given to council.”

The committee’s terms of reference have been categorized as: property, beach development, financial or general.

Property items to determine include: • costs to fence the property, • the property’s appraised value, • neighbours’ opinions on developing the property, • costs to construct the access road and parking lot, • the need for utility ser-

Formal approval of Horton’s new development fees, budget Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Horton’s bylaws for new lot development fees and its 2013 budget were unanimously passed at the June 4 meeting of council.

Council members spent a few minutes discussing whether to phase in the steep increase in lot development fees, but the recommended fee structure remained intact.

Coun. Jamey Larone said he had been approached by residents wondering what could

be done about the lot development fees.

While asking if the new and higher fees are hindering growth, in the next breath he said, “It doesn’t appear that we are … I’m just expressing their concerns.”

HUGE MAY FOR CONSTRUCTION

Larone’s reference was in part to the most recent building-construction statistics in Horton Township. May 2013 featured a total of $2,087,000 in construction start value, a onemonth figure only surpassed by the June 2010 start of the new George Jackson Toyota building and other construction.

The total for permit values that month was $4,546,200.

Effective June 4, Horton’s lot development fees have jumped from $3,122 to $3,728 for single-detached homes, from $2,549 to $3,110 for apartments, and from $1,984 to $2,332 for mobile homes.

“We have to put the fees up, but they have been substantiated,” said Coun. Margaret Whyte of the fee structure that was based on a Lot Development Charges Background Study

by Jp2g Consultants.

“I’m in full support of doing it the way we are,” said Coun. Bob Kingsbury.

“If you don’t have (appropriate) lot development fees to cover growth, then the taxpayers who have been here all these years are faced with an extra tax burden.”

And phasing in the lot development fees STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND would have the same effect, added Kingsbury.

“The lot development fees go a long way Horton finance manager Jennifer Barr and Horton Mayor Don Eady present the budget at the township’s public meeting for the 2013 budget. The same budget was approved at to build our infrastructure, and they do help to keep our taxes down,” said Mayor Don Eady. the June 4 council meeting.

If you don’t have (appropriate) lot development fees to cover growth, then the taxpayers who have been here all these years are faced with an extra tax burden.

- COUNCILLOR BOB KINGSBURY

The bylaw for the new budget was passed, at the virtual end of the June 4 council meeting, with no discussion.

There was more extensive council discussion at the May 21 public meetings for the lot development fees and the budget. No members of the public attended the public meeting for the budget.

4.49 PER CENT LEVY INCREASE

The new budget calls for a 4.49 increased levy over 2012, meaning home owners with a house valued at $200,000 last year and rising the average township assessment increase will pay about $1,082 in taxes, or nearly $100 more than in 2012.

The Horton tax pie consists of 19 per cent in school taxes, 33 per cent in county taxes, seven per cent for police services and 41 per cent in municipal taxes.

Horton citizen makes her point Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Sandra Black came to Horton council requesting a $25 reimbursement for her annual library fee, but not at the Renfrew Public Library.

Council recently decided to support Horton residents who use the Renfrew Public Library, following termination of the township’s longtime agreement between with the library.

The library was receiving about $10,000 in annual payments from Horton, including a provincial grant of just over $5,000. The Renfrew library looked for substantial hike in that annual payment, but Horton council said it couldn’t afford to do so.

However, Horton council then decided the township would reimburse $25 to each Horton resident who pays the Renfrew Public Library’s annual out-of-town membership fee of $45.

Black visited Horton council June 4 to request reimbursement for using the Arnprior library, whose annual fee is $60 per family of one or more members.

She indicated she’s likely not the only one who may prefer another library in the area, for family, geographical or other personal reasons.

In a letter to council, Black said the Ren-

frew library staff is great, but that she prefers the Arnprior library because of its larger book supply, easier parking and higher-quality air supply.

“I am allergic to dust and pollen, and it is difficult to remain inside the Renfrew branch long enough to comfortably select books,” wrote Black.

After discussion by council members, Horton passed a resolution allowing for $25 reimbursement for Horton residents using libraries outside Renfrew. To receive the reimbursement, they must have an official receipt from the library of their choice.

There’s $1,500 in the budget, but council says reimbursements will not be capped if they surpass that amount.

In support of the new resolution, Coun. Bob Kingsbury said, “We’re rebating the resident; we’re not rebating Arnprior or Renfrew.”

It shouldn’t matter why a resident chooses another library, said Coun. Jamey Larone.

“It’s the only kind of library service we can provide,” said a supportive Coun. Margaret Whyte.

“It’s a little bit out of the ordinary, but you’ve brought some things to our attention,” said Mayor Don Eady. Council unanimously passed the resolution.

Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird visits the Ottawa Valley Editor’s Note: Following is a news release from the office of RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant and the RNP Conservative Association. The media was not permitted to attend this event.

Renfrew-NipissingPembroke MP Cheryl Gallant recently welcomed the Honourable John Baird, Minister of Foreign Affairs, as a special guest for a meetand-greet reception with supporters.

“I am pleased to thank members of our association executive who worked so hard to make this event an outstanding success.

“I would also like to thank the owners of the Whitetail Golf Club for providing a wonderful venue for our reception.

“Minister Baird has a good reputation as a hard working Minister in our government. In addition to his responsibilities as Canada’s Foreign Minis-

ter, he is also the regional Minister for Eastern Ontario, which means he is looking out for the interests of the Upper Ottawa Valley.

“A hot topic of discussion among Valley hunters and sport shooting enthusiasts was the UN Arms Trade Treaty.

Law-abiding gun owners are concerned the Official Opposition will use the UN treaty as a back-door way to bring back the hated, billion dollar wasted, long-gun registry. The Quebecbased opposition parties have already promised to bring back the registry should they ever get the chance. Unlike their hidden agenda to bring in a carbon tax on Canadians, they have clearly stated the registry is a big priority for them. We believe that any treaty regarding the sale of munitions, which helps move the international community closer to world-leading standards, is a good

thing,” Gallant said.

In defending the decision not to sign immediately, Baird suggested the government sees a potential link between signing on to the treaty and the now-abolished long gun registry.

“We participated actively in these discussions. Unlike the old government that refused to listen to Canadians before imposing Bill C-68, Conservatives believe we have an obligation to listen before we act, and that is why we will be

OPINION

EDITORIAL

Let’s avoid casino tunnel vision to the city, which staff could in turn evaluate to come up with a recommendation that makes the most sense for Ottawa.

More than likely, what makes sense for Ottawa would be a proposal that maximizes gambling revenue for the city, as this is really the only reason to build a new casino -- if we’re not in it to make money, we probably shouldn’t be building one at all.

This is not to say the raceway can’t present a compelling business case. It has lots of land to build on and few neighbours to annoy. Area gamblers are also familiar with the existing slots, so there is an existing customer base. The biggest drawbacks to the site, however, are a lack of growth potential due to its location far south of downtown and the associated tourism industry and the lack of transportation infrastructure.

Downtown, on the other hand, doesn’t suffer either of those problems. Downtown’s biggest problem is the lack of a ready-made site.

Melnyk’s potential plan would fall somewhere between the two: ample space, good transit links and location near Highway 417, but also not near the city’s major tourist hub.

These are the factors that need to be considered by the city, and by narrowing the potential sites to just one, Watson is effectively neutering this kind of discussion.

Following recent upheaval in the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation boardroom and a change of tact on casinos initiated by the premier’s office, Mayor Jim Watson has also made an about face on the issue. After making the case for the city to support a downtown casino, the mayor now wants to see any new gaming facilities placed at the Rideau Carleton Raceway.

While this is great news for anyone connected with the horse racing industry, it should be at least a little disconcerting for many residents as once again city hall is narrowing the discussion about a particular issue. Remember the epic court battles fought by the city over the redevelopment of Lansdowne Park? Many of the arguments against the city partnering with the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group pointed to a lack of open competition. Isn’t that what’s happening here?

Like with Lansdowne, there is at least one other group interested in making a serious bid to build a casino in another area of the city: Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk, wants the opportunity to build one beside Scotiabank Place.

A francophone business group has also called for an open competition for any new gaming facility.

An open competition only makes sense, not only for the bidder, but the city as well. Competition would see multiple business plans presented

COLUMN

Two friends and the fish that came between them Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

It must have looked like something out of a blackand-white comedy from the silent movie era.

Three men out on the Ottawa; two none too pleased after what recently transpired. The two are at furthest reaches of the boat. A solid three hours of silence, needless to say, has put a damper on things.

Poor Ron Ferguson, the friends’ guide, is in the figurative middle getting bombarded with grumbling and dirty looks.

It’s a stormy and rainy and miserable day on top of it all. A crappy day last September. The kind of day a fishing guide earns his keep by fighting endless wind, ferreting out lunkers, and keeping friends from pummeling one another. Irish Creek Outfitters owner Ferguson wouldn’t have it any other way.

“It’s kinda funny to see two adult guys that are mad at each other over a fish,” recalled the Renfrew-area guide.

“The two lads came out for a good time.”

It started early on in the trip when Ferguson was busy keeping the boat from bumping up against rocks. Friend 1 nabs a muskie in the 54-55 inch range. It even uncharacteristically jumped out of the water, prompting all on board to do the jittery little dance that always happens when making room to welcome a monster aboard.

They yank him to the side of the boat. Friend 2, with the best of intentions, reaches in with the net to scoop up the fish. It isn’t a hard job, but he doesn’t need to hear

that one more time. So he reaches over the side to net the beast.

That’s when it happened. Friend 2 accidently knocks the lure out of the fish’s mouth with the rim of the net.

Disbelief descends. The fish slides back to its dark netherworld. Picture the look on Friend 1’s face and it will resemble the look on every Leafs’ fan at the end of every season for the last almost 50 years. The only difference is that Friend 1 missed a better opportunity to win the Cup. “He ended up getting a better one later in the day, so you could say they made it up,” Ferguson said. “But at the time you had to chuckle a little bit.”

Help me raise money for food bank Hi, my name is Arleigh Prince and I am eight years old. I go to school at St. Thomas the Apostle School in Renfrew, Ontario.

My favourite things to do are swimming and playing outside.

Last week my mom told me that the Renfrew Food Bank was getting low on their donations to give to families that cannot afford food.

This made me sad.

I asked my mom if we could help and she suggested that we collect some food to drop off to them. I have decided that I am going to fill my parent’s trailer (10 foot) and drop it off to the food bank, but I need your help!

I am calling on all my friends from schools and challenging all the other schools and business in Renfrew to get on board to collect as much non-perishable foods to help me fill my trailer.

My mom, step-dad, Shane and friends are even willing to pick it up from you!

On June 21 (during business hours), I will make my way through Renfrew with the trailer and pick up

GM council tenders for contract custodian peter.clark@metroland.com

PICKLE BALL INTRODUCTION

Greater Madawaska council was presented with a recommendation from land use planner Marko Cekic to hire a contract custodian from a registered company for an estimated $25 per hour and $43,275 for per year. The contractor would also be responsible for providing their own cleaning supplies.

If the township opted to hire a full-time staff custodian, based on the pay grid, it would cost about $40,588.57 plus cleaning supplies, which in 2012, cost $3,353.06.

The main township office is cleaned one to three times per week, Cekic said. He noted quotes could only be prepared once they toured the facilities to see what needed to be done. “The $43,000 figure would probably be worth it,� Coun. Brian Hunt suggested of a contract custodian. “We’ve added a new building as well.�

Council will put out a tender for a contract custodian to clean the interior of selected township-owned buildings.

FIRE CHIEF

The township is also inviting applications for fire chief. A detailed resume outlining education, experience and qualifications must be submitted by the 4 p.m. Friday, June 21 deadline. More information is available on the township website.

The job became open after former chief

Pickle ball will be coming to Greater Madawaska Township.

Coun. Glenda McKay first saw and participated in pickle ball at the Zoomer Trade Show in Ottawa May 3 and 4.

Pickle ball is a combination of tennis, badminton and table tennis, and is played on a badminton-sized court with a whiffle ball about the size of a tennis ball on a solid smooth surface.

Short-handled paddles larger than a pingpong paddle are used.

The court should be 20x44 feet for singles and doubles play. The net is 36 inches on the end and 34 inches in the middle.

Coun. McKay recommended to council May 28 that the township purchase four sets to start up pickle ball in the area, which she will co-ordinate.

One pickle ball set would go to four proposed locations – Calabogie Community Centre, DACA Centre, Griffith and Matawatchan. The pickle ball court can be identified by the use of masking tape on the floor.

Pickle ball sets cost about $500 apiece, meaning $2,000 would be required to purchase four sets.

The game is great way to get active, keep active, and have fun at the same time, Coun.

McKay said. It can also be played indoors. “The good part about it, kids can play.

It’s not strictly for seniors or adults,� she

said. “It’s a good workout.� “One way to go would be to get a set and have it here (Calabogie) and invite the other wards,� Coun. Hunt suggested.

Coun. McKay said she already intends to organize a beginner session with a representative from the Pickle Ball Association of Ontario and invite the other wards to see how it works.

Council will buy one pickle ball set, and if the other wards are on board, up to three more sets will be purchased.

Kids and adults alike will be able to enjoy playing ball Griffith this summer. Council approved $2,500 for a new backstop at the Griffith ball field. It should be installed by the middle of June.

CABA (Calabogie and Area Business Association) invites everyone out to a town hall meeting Saturday, June 22. It gets underway at 10 a.m. in the Calabogie Community Centre.

Mayor Peter Emon and council will answer a series of prepared questions, and then open questions from the floor.

CABA president Byron Hermann would like to see CABA members out to the town hall meeting. “It’s a great opportunity to ask our council about accomplishments and plans for the future and to provide input into the future growth of our area,� Hermann said.

CABA holds its next meeting Monday, June 24 at Calabogie Motorsports Park.

A tour of the track and facilities will be conducted at 6:30 p.m. The meeting starts at 7 p.m.

The Renfrew County Road Supervisors Association (RCRSA) will host the Association of Ontario Road Supervisors (AORS) Municipal Public Works Trade Show June 4 and 5, 2014 at the Nick Smith Centre and fairgrounds in Arnprior.

ACCOUNTING CLERK

The United Church of Canada

The township received 48 applications for the position of deputy clerk treasurer.

That number was narrowed to six people, and then three. However, none fulfilled the necessary requirements for the job.

The hiring committee then recommended that the position not be filled, and instead add the deputy clerk treasurer duties to those of current accounting clerk Sarah McGregor-Briscoe.

McGregor-Briscoe agreed, and council approved her hiring as full-time accounting clerk for a term from June 10 to Dec. 1 at a rate of $16.43 per hour. She will also receive $2.70 per hour compensation retroactive for additional duties from Feb. 1 to June 7.

Renfrew Collegiate Intermediate School Grade 7 student Hayley Roderick has a couple of questions for Admaston-Bromley Council. “Why do people litter? Why does anyone litter?â€? she asked She said answers to these questions could be: • we didn’t know they were littering, • we didn’t really think about it, • we didn’t notice, • we have bigger things to worry about, • we don’t feel like waiting to throw our garbage out. “All of these answers are pretty bad excuses, so it’s time to get our heads out of the clouds and start caring about our environment, our world, the world that we live our lives and spend our time with our families and friends,â€? Roderick said in her correspondence.

She said, it’s a $250 fine to litter and $500 each time after, yet everywhere you look, there is garbage, garbage and more garbage. It’s a shame to see people do that, Roderick added.

She wants to make people aware of the effects of littering, and plans to do something about it.

Roderick said she’d start a website campaign, raise money to get signs for the side of the road, put up clean your front ditch/ lawn signs, and get a group of friends and clean gullies, Roderick suggests council helps by spreading the word, and giving her assistance to do this. “She has information and good ideas,�

Coun. Robert Dick said.

“This is a young person who is community minded,� Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe added. “These are the people who may be our leaders some day. We need more kids like that.�

The mayor will have a pin in appreciation sent to the school for the 12-year-old student.

Roderick’s message to council is also posted at the Stone Road township office.

What really happens when our continents collide?

Ole Hendrickson Ottawa River Institute

east of the Laurentians. Around 175 million years ago Pangaea split apart and the Atlantic Ocean re-opened, accompanied by more earthquakes and faulting in the Ottawa Valley.

The geological history of the Ottawa Valley was not well understood until the 1960s. Scientists such as the Canadian John Tuzo Wilson agreed that evidence was overwhelming for seafloor spreading and collisions of continental plates. Wilson’s scientific contributions were so critical that the cycle of formation and disappearance of oceans is known as the Wilson Cycle.

The final events in the Valley’s geological history took place during a three-million-year ice age. For two million years glacial and inter-glacial periods alternated quickly, lasting about 40 thousand years each.

But during the past million years the cycles lengthened to 100,000 years. Intense cold periods created continental-scale ice sheets.

The last of these, the Laurentide Ice Sheet, flowed southwest from the region of Hudson Bay. It reached the Ottawa Valley around 60,000 years ago, covering the Valley with ice to a maximum thickness of two to three kilometres. When the ice began its retreat around 20,000 years ago, its weight had greatly depressed the land surface, and it held so much water that global sea level had fallen by 70 metres. As it melted the Atlantic Ocean flooded into the lower portions of the Ottawa Valley and formed the Champlain Sea, with its rich diversity of marine life. In 1977, a quarry operation in eastern Renfrew County near White Lake uncovered the skel-

Slow-motion video footage of the Ottawa Valley’s past would have captured the formation and disappearance of great mountain ranges and ice sheets, accompanied by massive earthquakes and floods, interspersed with long periods of warm, shallow seas.

We have no videos, but thanks to the efforts and research of many scientists we have a pretty clear picture of the Valley’s geological history.

Marine bacteria ruled the Earth in the Precambrian over a billion years ago. Precursors of the continents of Africa, Europe, and South America converged on an older and smaller version of North America, creating a supercontinent called Rodinia.

Continental plates crashed together and buckled upwards, forming the mighty Grenville Mountains, higher than the Himalayas. Molten rock surged from deep within the earth to fill the spaces beneath the up-thrust plates. Near the epicentre of this great collision a great upsurge of magma slowly cooled into the granite dome of the Algonquin batholith, occupying much of the current area of Algonquin Park and adjacent Renfrew County.

Erosion wore away Rodinia’s great mountains and exposed their granitic roots during the next 250 million years. As the thickness and weight of the crust decreased, the remaining nubs of the mountains floated upwards on the heavier underlying molten mantle. During the late Precambrian, 750 million years ago, Rodinia cracked into new continental plates. These pulled apart, leaving bits and pieces stuck onto the North American plate and increasing its size.

During the break-up of the supercontinent, North America itself began to split apart in the area now occupied by the Ottawa and St. Lawrence valleys. Through a series of massive earthquakes, a great rift opened in the continent with deep cracks extending downwards 40 kilometres to the base of the Earth’s crust. As these cracks widened, the land between them slumped downwards, leaving a graben: a valley with sheer escarpments on either side. Views of the northern and southern walls of the graben – the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec and the Opeongo Mountains of Ontario – are a defining feature of Renfrew County.

The newly created Ottawa Valley was transforming into an ocean with Ontario and Quebec on opposite sides – just as a new ocean was appearing between the North American and Eurasian continental plates. But then the rifting stopped and the earthquakes subsided.

Tranquillity followed.

North America lay near the equator, drifting slowly northwards.

Warm, shallow tropical seas covered the Ottawa Valley. Marine life flourished during the Ordovician Era. Fossils of trilobites, clams and mussels, snails, relatives of squids and octopi, sponges, corals, and sand dollars were deposited in the 450million-year-old sedimentary limestone that formed over billion-yearold Precambrian rocks. These marine fossils are readily found along the Ottawa and Bonnechere rivers today.

During a more recent geological era, continental plates again converged to form another great supercontinent, Pangaea.

Their collision created another mountain range - the Appalachians – to the

eton of a bowhead whale.

During their advance and retreat, glaciers scraped over the Ottawa Valley and the Algonquin highlands, exposing bedrock in some places, and dumping materials (“glacial till�) elsewhere. For thousands of years the upper Great Lakes and much of Canada west to the Rockies drained through the Ottawa Valley. At maximum flow the Ottawa River rivalled the Amazon in size. Water from the melting ice transported boulders, gravel, sand, and clays, carving deep channels such as the Barron River Canyon.

The finest clay-sized particles were carried furthest downriver and deposited in the Champlain Sea, creating some of Renfrew County’s best farmland.

Renfrew County residents live in an ancient and special place. Mountain-building forces of continental collisions, combined with the erosive and depositional power of water (both ice and liquid), sculpted the presentday landscapes of the Ottawa Valley — its hills, plains, escarpments, canyons, rivers, lakes and wetlands.

Knowledge of this geologic history informs decisions to conserve our precious soils, waters and biological resources.

Ole Hendrickson is a forest ecologist and the current president of the Ottawa River Institute (www.ottawariverinstitute.ca), a non-profit organization based in the Ottawa Valley.

Quilts and more Needlework & Crafts In our division headed by Mary Richards and her committee of Dianne Briscoe, Barb Cole, Diane Fortier, Isabelle Gibbons, Mary McCann, Teresa McCarrol and Denise Washington, the quilt section always attracts a lot of attention.

As one enters the Exhibition Hall, the talent displayed in this area receives lot of oohs and aahs.

The first section is for articles which are hand-quilted and are eligible for awards not only here at our local fair but also at the district and perhaps even at the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies at Toronto.

Beginning this fall we have a new section for those quilters who enjoy making quilt tops and wall hangings but have a Professional Long Arm Quilter do the actual machine quilting.

In home accents, you can show your expertise in knitting, crocheting or home decoration. Our weaving class has become very popular in the last few years.

There is a bridal category where you can show your creative side by making a pillow, garter, posy bouquet, invitation and more Nothing like having Christmas in September to show all the wonderful things people make for this season.

1938: 95th birthday for Horton Township’s grand old man JUNE 13, 1913

HELPING THE CRYING NEED: Mr. John Connolly last week disposed of his lots in the Creamery section advertised in The Mercury to Mr. W. A. Moore under the restriction that two brick houses of a certain class be built thereon during the summer. Mr. Connolly had a house on Prince street vacated last Friday, and in six hours had as many applicants for it.

OLGA LEWIS From the Old Files

Horton, celebrated on Wednesday, of this week the 95th anniversary of his birth. Members of his family and a few friends joined him on the occasion. The aged man still enjoys good health, has a keen sense of humour and is able to be up and around every day. Mr Farrell has a wonderful memory, and his favourite pastime is calling up events of the past. Young and old gather at his fireside and enjoy many an hour listening to tales of 75 and 80 years ago. By friends and neighbours he is wished many returns of the birthday anniversary.

The final project is the paving of the intersection at Coumbes Street, O’Brien Road and Sixth Avenue, including the construction of islands and curbs.

It will cost $12,000. Deputy Reeve Jim Donahue here said that if a more pressing need was found, the road to the pollution plant could be removed

Events being organized by Horton Township’s recreation committee volunteers include a July 6 beach volleyball tournament at the community centre.

The cost is $150 per team. There are cash prizes, a barbecue and a bar.

To register, call Kathleen Rogers at the municipal office at 613-432-6271 or email krhorton@xplornet.ca The same day, Horton is organizing a family fishing derby. Registration for the event, which runs from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., is at 2014 Thompson Rd. Proceeds from each event go to the community hall’s expansion project.

A recent loss to the recreation committee was Tim McDonald, who has resigned as the entertainment chairman. Horton is seeking a successor for McDonald, who spent six years as a township volunteer.

Who was Elizabeth Harkley?

Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Horton Township resident David Brown loves history, and finding out more about where he lives and visits.

An example is his participation in the restoration of the old Martin’s Cemetery on Whitton Road over the past year or so. He has gained satisfaction from being part of that project, which has brought dignity to what’s thought to be Renfrew County’s oldest cemetery.

But now he has another cemetery-related project.

Just the other day, a local woman came across a tombstone, while walking her dog in the woods, near the corner of Humphries and Castleford roads.

The tombstone is for Elizabeth Harkley in 1858, the same year the Town of Renfrew was incorporated.

At first, Brown couldn’t read anything on the tombstone, so he sandpapered the stone so he could read the lettering.

Brown has since been told there was a cemetery in the area, but its exact location is not known.

Also, it is not known if Harkley’s body was buried where the tombstone was found, or if it was transported from another burial site.

Typically, tombstones sit in a concrete base, but nothing was attached to the Harkley tombstone.

Harkley’s age and date of death were 43 and Nov. 30, 1858, as indicated on the tombstone.

Also, the epitaph reads: The day appointed I have run The combat’s o’er, the prize is won And now my witness is on high And now my record’s in the sky At the bottom corner the words were also inscribed: Wakley & Hays, Ottawa.

Brown has asked around, and no one appears to know of any Harkley residents in Horton Township.

Anyone with information about the Harkley

Grade 2 students learn bucket filling makes people feel good Mental Health Week promoted with initiative peter.clark@metroland.com

Have you filled a bucket today?

Those are the words Ms. Sauve’s Grade 2 class at Queen Elizabeth Public School were learning May 13.

The first full week in May marked Children’s Mental Health Week in Ontario.

To promote Mental Health Week, the Renfrew County and District Health Unit (RCDHU) collaborated with the Phoenix Centre for Children and Families to provide elementary schools across Renfrew County with a Bucket Filling kit.

Club co-ordinator Laura Demont visited the students at Queen Elizabeth. Demont was joined by her sidekick, Simon.

They encouraged everyone to be bucket fillers.

Demont read from the book Have You Filled A Bucket Today? written primarily for children ages 4 to 9. “Everyone carries an invisible bucket that holds our thoughts and feelings,� Demont said. “When our buckets are full, we feel happy and when our buckets are empty, we feel sad.�

NATURE

Connected to your community

Nature Notes: Celebrating our rivers – the Bonnechere and the Madawaska The abundant spring run off and the frequency of rain this spring will make for some wonderful paddling opportunities this summer!

In collaboration with the Ottawa River Institute and the Township of McNab- Braeside, the Bonnechere River Watershed Project is organizing two free group paddling excursions.

On Saturday, June 15, explore the lower section of the Bonnechere River from your canoe or kayak, as Bonnechere River Watershed chair Kathy Lindsay, and Ottawa River Institute president co-lead a leisurely paddle excursion between the Second and First Chutes, downriver from Renfrew.

Explore the river, its vegetation, wildlife

and geology, and drink in the beauty of the First Chute, one of the most scenic spots on the entire Bonnechere!

Paddlers are asked to meet with their canoe/ kayak, flotation devices, and other safety equipment at 32 Bridge Street in Renfrew at 8:30 am, and to proceed down the gravel road to the base of the second chute to unload their gear.

The 15-kilometre trip will take about five hours, including a 200-metre portage around the First Chute, where there will be a stop for lunch. The trip will end at the Horton boat launch, at the River Road bridge near Castleford.

We will make certain that at least one car is parked at the boat launch to shuttle drivers back to Renfrew.

No charge to join in, and please bring

We care so we share for Food Grains Bank Lynn Clelland

Inspired by the Me to We idea, students in Heather Cormier’s Senior Kindergarten/Grade 1 class at Admaston Public School decided to contribute some of the money raised at their used book sale to the local project of the Canadian Food Grains Bank.

The students used a map to see where their contribution might be used to provide food for families or tools to grow crops or seeds so that families may become more self sufficient.

This is the 17th crop that the local food grains committee has planted.

Over $100,000 has been raised which, when matched 4:1 by the Canadian International Development Agency, has provided a half million dollars of aid to those in areas suffering from drought, war, corrupt governments and disease. For more information about this project call 613-432-6317.

For story’s photo, see page 13.

a lunch and all your own gear - canoe or kayak, flotation devices, etc.

The second excursion, on Saturday, Aug. 10, explores the Madawaska River from Cherry Point Park to the Burnstown Beach.

On-site registration begins at 2:30 p.m. at the Burnstown beach.

From there paddlers will be shuttled to Cherry Point Park to start the paddle excursion

back to Burnstown.

This is a picturesque section of the Madawaska River, that passes by homes and cottages as well as sections of undeveloped shoreline, and the hamlets of Springtown and Burnstown.

There’s a very good chance kingfishers and great blue herons will be spotted, along with other wildlife.

Joining the excursion is free with your own

canoe or kayak and paddling gear, or $20 and for a seat in a sixperson Explorer canoe provided by the Ottawa River Canoe Brigade. Contact info@Bonn e c h e r e R iv e r. ca to book your Explorer canoe seat.

The excursion pulls out at the Burnstown Beach about 5 p.m.

From there, head on over to the Neat Coffee Shop for a BBQ (at own

A covered nest protects the young Jim Ferguson Scene From The Hawk’s Eyes

Sheila McBride sent us this email.

We have noticed a bird nesting on the ground in short grass along the trails in our bush. The nest is almost invisible but the short, coarse grass seems to form a protective cover almost draped over the top of the nest.

We do not want to disturb this bird as she nests and I imagine the young would also be vulnerable.

If you could help me identify this bird and the times of its nesting period it would help us plan when we should curtail our activities in the bush.

Thanks for your help.

Sheila. There are several species that nest on the ground in long grass.

One of the most common that constructs a nest

like the one you describe is the ovenbird. The name is derived from the ovenlike shape of the completed nest.

As you have said, “It seems like a protective cover has been draped over the top of the nest.”

Nest time is three weeks.

The ovenbird is a wood warbler with an orange crown-stripe bordered by two dark brown stripes, a prominent eye ring and heavily streaked underparts.

It surprises me that you found the nest because the female does a wonderful job of camouflage.

UNUSUAL PLUMAGE

Cathy Bartlett wrote, “I was reading your article in the Renfrew Mercury about the white purple finch seen by Mary Turcotte.

We had one almost the same at our feeder but it was

all beige and a light rust colour on top of his head. It was here last week but I haven’t seen it since then. Could this be the same kind of bird?”

Cathy: It could be the same species but albino birds are pure white.

FINCHES GONE

Velma Durant sent us this note.

Where have all the finches gone? My feeders are full, but few birds are present. Hummers are here, but not as visible as usual.

You were asking in your column about the orioles. I heard their call one day last weekend, but haven’t heard or seen them since.

When they were around, they would nest in the tall trees on the river side of our house but no sign yet this year.

Velma: With the wet, cool spring we are experiencing all

things are possible. The birds may be delaying their nesting chores until conditions improve.

If the area where your finch feeders are located does not suit the birds for nesting purposes they will go to where it does but will return after the young fledge.

LOON WATCH

The 2013 Canadian Lakes Loon Survey season is here, and surveyors are needed across Canada.

Participants survey their lakes at least three times per year (once in June, once in July, and once in August), record the number of common loon pairs, and track the number of chicks each pair raises to adult size.

Support conservation – participate in one of our oldest programs! Just count the loons while spending time on your

favourite lake.

Register online or contact Kathy Jones (volunteer@birdscanada.org or 1-888-448-2473 ext. 124) for information.

EFFECTIVE BIRD BATHS

One of the most effective ways to attract birds to your birdbath is to create the sound of dripping or running water. If you have an electrical outlet nearby a small reciprocating pump can be used to recycle the water through a series of shallow containers.

Another way to create a dripping sound is to suspend a container (plastic or metal) above the bath with a few small holes punched in the bottom and filled with water. The sound will attract the birds.

Keeping the container filled can be a problem.

It empties more

Your key to must-see homes in the area!

quickly than you would think.

RACING PIGEON

Rod and Meena Ballantyne had a racing pigeon arrive at their home and stay for ten days. It fed on bird seed put out for the regulars until it became strong enough to leave. Let us hope that it found its way home.

When racing pigeons cannot locate their home loft and become exhausted they go to ground, build up their strength and leave when they are able to fly. They may eventually find their home loft.

Maple syrup showdown at the fair

VARIED COLOUR

Colour appears to be just as varied throughout our area.

Some have produced some nice light syrup in the early runs and others have “industrial strength” variety

book from Judy at the fair board office.

3. Read instructions three times.

4.

Prepare your entry. Use the colorimeter when presenting your entries on Tuesday, Sept. 3 from 6 to 9 p.m.

5. Wait with great anticipation.

6. Return during the fair to discover your fate — and enjoy one way or another.

There is a special class for those entering the syrup section

for the first time.

A new class is being added this year for dark syrup.

The committee welcomes your entry whether you make it in a snazzy new evaporator or an old pot!

Another syrup year has come to a close and the reports are as varied as the weather!

Depending on whether your bush is high or low, open to the wind, on rock or the way you hold your mouth, the run was good , bad and (or) on and off.

by the end of the season Do you ever have discussions with your brother, sister, cousin, neighbour etc. as to who makes the best syrup?

A number of people have discovered that the way to settle that (friendly) argument is to enter in the Renfrew Fair.

One group has created their own award to be displayed in the sugar camp of the winner.

The procedures: 1. Make some syrup (maple, not birch).

2. Get a $5 Renfrew Fair membership, entry bottles and Exhibit Hall Fair

Strawberry honey Lassi a health and refreshing drink A creamy refreshing, cleansing drink that is a version of the Indian yogurt and fruit drink, called Lassi. It can be a nice finish to a spicy hot meal or an interesting drink idea if serving a slightly spicy meal.

A Lassi is of great importance in the Indian diet, because it contains fat, protein, lactose, calcium and phosphorus. It has been said in Indian literature that regular consumption of Lassi drinks reduces the chances of your hair going white before it is time.

NOTICE OF STUDY COMPLETION Municipal Class Environmental Assessment for Jennet Street Drainage Improvements

Notice is hereby given that Hydro One Networks Inc. – Forestry Services will be commencing Forestry line clearing operations in your vicinity. The work will include the selective treatment of undesirable vegetation that would, if left alone, grow into the conductors.

Every effort will be made to leave compatible low growing vegetation, which will assist in reducing future maintenance requirements.

The Town of Renfrew has completed an Environmental Assessment (EA) of the need, alternatives and preferred solution for drainage improvements in the vicinity of Jennet Street. The area has experienced major floods in the last decade with the last recent flooding occurring in June 2011.

Location of work: Hydro One Transmission Line X1P from Chenaux GS to Mazinaw DS (corridor thru Admaston Bromley Twp. Horton Twp. Greater Madawaska Twp. Addington Highlands Twp. North Frontenac Twp.)

The study has developed a recommended storm sewer plan that includes 400 m of new storm sewer, with the design flow rate based on the 100 year peak flow.

This project followed a Schedule ‘B’ Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process which culminates in the production of a Project File. The Project File, which includes the study purpose, process and recommendations, is now available for a 30-day public review period.

The public review period begins on June 7, 2013. Written comments may be submitted until July 19, 2013 to:

If you attend this year’s Scottish Festival - and why wouldn’t you, because there is so much to offer in one jam-packed day – you get a once-ina-lifetime opportunity to vote for the township’s modern-day bard.

Or, maybe you can put pen to paper or drum up a song and enter the competition to become our bard.

Historically, Celtic peoples - we’re talking Scots, Irish, Welsh, Britons, Basque, Manx, and so on - relied on oral rather than written traditions.

Bards were men and women educated in maintaining the oral “memory” of their people.

They were divided into seven groups depending on their training: some were versed in the law, healing and religion; others (among the most popular) were those who told stories either through long poems called odes or through song.

Bards were the most famous entertainers, highly respected and frequently wealthy in Scottish society.

They were the historians, holding the memory of their people and keeping their traditions alive.

We’re holding a competition to choose who will be the Bard of McNab-Braeside Township. You’ll not only get bragging rights, but a $100 prize for the best original story, poem or song based on a historical person and/or event from McNab-Braeside.

The competition is open to any age group. Your entry can be: • a story of 500 to 2,000 words, presented orally but submitted in writing for the judges to assess; • a poem 20 to 100 lines long; or •a song at least four to 10 verses.

The judges are Dai Basset, Trish English and Ron Moores. Auditions will be held Saturday, June 15, at which time nine finalists — three in each category — will be chosen.

The final competition takes place about 5 p.m. on the Waba Cottage grounds in White Lake on June 23, as part of the Scottish Festival. Registration is $10 for those aged 18 and up; kids and youth can participate for free.

The Township of McNab-Braeside reserves the right to retain copies of material submitted for reproduction.

Are you the next bard of McNab/ Braeside? Want to have a say in who will be? We’re counting on your participation.

Survey to determine who pays Principal Weller heading to St. James for recreation, library services john.carter@metroland.com

The township has indicated all users and supporters who own property will be invoiced separately as a supporter or user. Funds from property taxes allocated to recreation will go to the township’s own programs.

The township is expecting to receive lists of all users of the Arnprior library and Nick Smith Centre programs. All users will be billed even if they claim in the survey not to be users, stressed councillors.

“If you’re on the (Arnprior) list of users, you’ll have to pay,” explained township CEO Noreen Mellema.

“We’re not worried about (determining who are) the users,” said Blimkie.

“But we need to track the people who support it but are not using it.

“That’s my concern … capturing all the supporters. People tell me their parents will support it even if they aren’t users.”

The township has had difficulty getting lists of users from Arnprior in the past.

However, Arnprior Mayor David Reid has indicated the list will be made available to the township, although it hadn’t received them by the original delivery date of early this year.

The library cited privacy issues in not providing user names in the past, but has agreed to let township representatives see the names if they come to the library to see the list.

The township has received complete lists of library and recreation program users from Ren-

McNab-Braeside council wants to know which township residents are willing to pay for the use of recreation and library services offered by Arnprior and Renfrew.

To this end, the township is mailing out a survey over the next two weeks to all propertyowners in the municipality asking who uses the town’s services and who else is philosophically willing to pay for them for the greater good of the community.

The survey asks recipients six questions involving Arnprior and Renfrew recreation and library services. They are being asked if they use the town services, if they support paying for the town services or are unwilling to pay the services.

“Please take a few minutes to complete the survey and return it in the postage pre-paid envelope,” property-owners are being urged.

Despite some reports, the survey will not ask residents whether the township should continue to pay for the services with property taxes.

Council made it clear during budget deliberations Feb. 4 that the recreation and library agreements will no longer be funded from the tax base in 2014 as is the case this and past years.

The agreements, which took up 6.6 per cent of the municipal portion of the 2013 property tax bill, come to an end on Dec. 31.

Instead, only residents using the towns’ services and others agreeable to help them pay will be billed. The cost will be divided among property-owners who use or support the library and/or recreation facilities, explained Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie.

Council members noted that grandparents and friends of users may well want to help pay for the services, as well as those who feel they should continue to be offered township residents.

“That’s non-negotiable. That’s the terms.”

In discussion June 4, council questioned what would happen if people refused to pay.

Staff said the charges could be added to the property-owners’ taxes the next year, although council will have to pass a bylaw to authorize that action. $ Staff asked how the system would work for those owning more than one property in the township, which has about 3,000 residents and 3,800 properties. Blimkie suggested that a multiple property-owner using or supporting the services should say yes in one survey and no on the others.

She also explained that if a renter is a user of the services, it’s up to the landlord to determine how they should recoup the charge.

Council also agreed it will have to decide how to interpret the position of people who don’t fill out the surveys.

Mayor Campbell agreed that residents should be able to come into the office and opt in or out each year if they wanted.

She said the issue may be clear to councillors, but cautioned them to expect questions on how much it will cost people if they agree to support the services.

“Unfortunately until we finish negotiations (with the towns) and have the results of the survey, we can’t tell,” she said.

She noted that recreation costs about $150 to AL OF $200 per year now for people, but that could go CI F E over $200 or drop below $100 depending on all the variables. “This is as clear as we can make CONNECT it at this point in time.”

Scottish Festival Continued from page 28

The opportunity to dine with the young woman and feast on her repast was provided to the highest bidder by the auctioneer.

The updated version for the McNab Days’ Scottish Festival will have 10 picnic tables available behind the museum. Ten celebrity cooks from throughout the township will prepare picnic/barbecue suppers for two to six people.

Menus (hopefully based on a theme) will be well advertised beforehand and then auctioned off at the conclusion of the pipe tattoo — roughly 4 p.m. with dinner at 5 p.m. Entertainment will be provided by contestants participating in the Bard competition.

Confirmed are: Christine and Jeff Blim-

kie, Bob Campbell and Gail Anderson, Mary Campbell (Highland Field & Stream/steak and salmon), Laurie Dougherty and Ken Ornstein (Mediterranean Medley), Sandra Gabler and Mark Gaetz (Clay Bank German), Vic and Linda Garbutt (Sizzling Smokehouse), Becky and Richard Hollingsworth (Southern Hospitality), Lori and Andrew Jensen (Danish Delight), and Jay and Linda Johnston (Tastes of the Tavern).

Come on out to the Scottish Festival and bid on culinary feasts from around the world.

For a full slate of Scottish activities, entertainment and demonstrations, check out the Scottish Festival on June 23 on the Waba Cottage grounds in White Lake, starting at 9 a.m.

Admission is free, but donations are being accepted - and encouraged – at the gate to help with the costs of running the festival.

Murder mystery coming your way Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Horton’s recent murder mystery was a huge success. A total of 144 spaghetti dinners were sold for the April 27 event that raised about $1,950.

Organizers are hoping for another success with its Trivia

Night, which takes place July 27. Proceeds from these events go to paying for the rink roof.

COMPOST BINS: Horton Township will pay $946 and HST to buy 25 new composting bins, and then recoup the cost when residents purchase the items from the township.

The previous stock had

run out after being purchased about three years ago.

“They’re not hot sellers,” said Horton CAO-clerk Mackie McLaren.

The previous cost to residents was $40 for the sizeable bins. They hold about a year’s supply of composting material.

MADAWASKA GIRLS HOCKEY ASSOCIATION

REGISTRATION NIGHT TUESDAY JUNE 18TH from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior and at the Mateway Activity Centre in Renfrew STONE FENCE THEATRE

Fiddling figures big in the new musical There’s Hippies Up the Line! showcases fiddle contest stand-outs Will and Emma March (in front) along with, from left, producer/playwright Ish Theilheimer, folk legend Ken Ramsden and Daniel Stermac Stein as ‘Young Ish.’

We play house league hockey with no body checking. We compete against GIRLS’ TEAMS in Renfrew county. Winning is nice but the most important goal is HAVING FUN. Registration forms are available at either centre on July 3rd or contact Nancy Glofcheskie via email: nancy_glofcheskie@hotmail.ca

Stone Fence Theatre to present There’s Hippies up the Line Stone Fence Theatre

While the title suggests the play is about hippies, it is actually about diversity, and musical diversity is a big part of it. Performers include two of Canada’s best young fiddlers – Emma and Will March of Pembroke.

They join folk legend Ken Ramsden and Ish Theilheimer himself, who has been pleasing audiences around the Ottawa Valley for 40 years with his fiddling and traditional music (The Wilno Express).

Step-dancing is a big part of the show too, with contest winners Emma and Will, as well as Amber Dagenais of Eganville, daughter of dance champion Cindy and Shelburne fiddle champ Rob Dagenais featured.

Pembroke’s well-known fiddler, pianist and composer

Carol Kennedy, who has been a key figure in keeping fiddling alive in the Ottawa Valley, wrote a new jig (Jack and Aggie’s Cows/Ish the Writer) for the show.

Company pianist Peter Brown, a jazz and theatre veteran from Lanark, contributed a memorable waltz (In The Valley Twilight) to the score, with the twin fiddles of Emma and Will March in mind. And Theilheimer himself wrote two new reels (Hippies Up the Line! and Eh Lad?), and a clog that blends Celtic and klezmir (Did They Ever Have A Lot To Learn!).

In addition, the show features gospel, country, rock and reggae songs performed by a cast of more than 20 including children, youth and adults of all ages. All adult leads are professionally-trained singers.

The show is scheduled, initially, for 14 supper theatre performances around Renfrew County between July and November. Stone Fence Theatre, since its launch 10 years ago, has found that serving a real old-fashioned Ottawa Valley meal brings audiences together and creates a friendly, homey environment.

The Eganville Community Centre, in which most of its summer shows are performed, holds about 160 for supper, so it’s best to order tickets well in advance. Shows usually sell out.

Full information about the show and the schedule is available on the company’s website, www.stonefence.ca , where tickets can be ordered online. The box office phone number is 613-628-6600 or, toll-free, 1-866-310-1004.

$287,235 for Algonquin’s skills link program Algonquin College of the Ottawa Valley recently received a federal government funding of $287,235.

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant made the announcement about the Hire Me, Reaching Higher, Skills Link Project, which is sponsored by the college.

The program is geared to helping youth overcome barriers to employment by developing life and employability skills and work experience.

These are intended to facilitate transition into

the labour market.

The April 2012 Ontario Labour Market Bulletin said Ontario’s unemployment rate was 7.8 per cent, but the province’s unemployed rate for youth ages 25 to 34 was 16.4 per cent.

“In recognizing the special challenges our youth face in obtaining employment, our Conservative government took action and implemented the Youth Skills Link Program,” said Gallant. Algonquin College delivered its first Skills Link Program in 2011.

Thursday,March June 15, 13, 2012 2013 Thursday,

Local strongman to be profiled in TV documentary series Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Some of their exploits are enough to make a film director flinch.

The weights lifted, pushed and pulled in strongman competitions by the likes of two-time Canada’s strongman Jean-Francois Caron of Quebec City and three-time Ontario strong man Paul Vaillancourt of Renfrew are mind-boggling … and worthy of recording on film.

And that’s exactly what JeanClaude Caprara of Ottawa will be doing the next little while, as he works with a crew to develop a six-part series on Canadian strongmen for Canal D, the Quebec version of Discovery Channel.

Vaillancourt also displayed some of his strength, by lifting a car several times with several students inside.

The 5-foot-11, 270-pound Vaillancourt is no stranger to the world of strongman competitions, having won the Ontario’s Strongest Man titles in 2009, 2010 and 2011.

He’s also married to Sarah Leighton, an international power lifter.

Together, they run the Ultimate Fitness Gyms out of Arnprior and Renfrew.

In addition to Caron and Vaillancourt, Caprara is also profiling twotime Canada’s Strongest Man Christian Savoie of Sherbrooke, 2008 Canada’s Strongest Man Louis-Philippe Jean of Port Cartier, Que., and fellow competitor Maxime Lemire of Trois Rivieres, Que.

SPECIAL CHANNEL STRONG LIKE A ROCK

The French-language specialty channel focuses on documentary programming that covers such topics as crime, biographies, nature and science.

“I just want to have fun and have a look into what it’s like to be in a strongman’s competition,” said director Caprara during a recent visit to Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School to capture a related aspect of Renfrew strongman Vaillancourt’s life.

On Fridays, Vaillancourt leads OLF students in Grades 4 or higher through circuit training and strengthrelated activities.

On Friday, May 24, Caprara’s film crew was along for the ride, to capture the excitement of student teams competing in tug of war, arm wrestling and tire flips.

The series will be titled Fort Comme Un Roc, or Strong Like a Rock.

The series will also include insights into a world that references such Quebec icons as former world’s strongest man Louis Cyr in the early 1900s.

There will also be commentary from retired Hugo Girard, Canada’s Strongest Man from 1999 to 2004.

“What fascinates me is that they’re showmen. It’s almost like a rock concert,” said Caprara.

WORKING WITH STUDENTS

But they’re obviously more than that, as the film director was seeking to capture during Vaillancourt’s visit to Our Lady of Fatima to interact with, and instruct, students.

“Our focus (May 24) is on how Paul’s taking time to work with kids, to encourage kids to be active in a time of decreasing activity in society,” Caprara added.

And Vaillancourt is pleased to be part of the documentary series.

“It’s fantastic. I’m super enthusiastic, being able to participate,” he said.

“I always love to be in front of a camera, whether in a competition or while working with kids.”

With or without cameras running, Our Lady of Fatima principal Jeannie Armstrong also likes the attention for her students.

ANOTHER EXPERIENCE

“It’s another experience in physical fitness activity that might appeal to them. It brings them exposure to something they might not otherwise experience.”

As Danika Laframboise said, after competing in a tire flip, a spirited marathon arm-wrestle with Grade 6 classmate Karly Friske, and a tug of war, “It was really difficult and really fun, but it was worth it. I like trying new things.”

With a goal of providing different experiences, Armstrong says OLF students also take Zumba, or danceand-aerobic classes, with Peter and Shirley Boldt once a week.

Visit www.avrproductions.ca for details about Caprara’s work.

The producer of the strongman documentary series, tentatively scheduled to air in January 2014, is Léa Pascal of Productions Léa Pascal in Hawkesbury.

An Original Six battle, tennis fault, Darling lets slugger down PETER CLARK Peter’s Putterings The Boston Bruins and Chicago Blackhawks are treading unchartered waters. Never in their playoff history, even going back to their Original Six

days, have these two franchises met in a Stanley Cup final.

It’s the first Original Six final since the Habs and Rangers met in 1979.

The other two combatants from the six-team era – the Leafs and the Red Wings – lost seventh-game overtime decisions earlier in the 2013 playoffs to today’s Cup finalists.

Chicago and Boston both look tough to beat, but someone has to fall short.

If Chicago wins, I can say Detroit gave them the best battle.

Tennis fault: I’ve always felt professional tennis denies itself of some great finals by its draw system.

A classic example was the French Open at Roland Garros Stadium this past weekend.

No. 3 in the world Rafael Nadal breezed past David Ferrer – himself at formidable foe at No. 4 – in the final in three sets.

However, the semifinal pairing produced a classic as Nadal topped No. 1 seed Novak Djokovic in a fiveset barnburner.

That was a matchup of No. 3 versus No. 1 in the world. The other semifinal was No. 4 versus No. 6.

Everything being equal, had tennis done it the way hockey does, and not followed its current draw format, Nadal and Djokovic would have met in the final.

Oh my Darling: The Toronto Blue Jays aren’t making many friends with

the umpires. They have run-ins regularly, and the latest came in the ninth inning Sunday afternoon.

With the game on the line, Jose Bautista got into a rhubarb with ump Gary Darling over the strike zone, and the result was predictable.

After striking out, Bautista was thrown out.

How Joey Bats voiced his displeasure was probably crucial to his ouster.

Did he say, “You screwed me, ump!” or “You screwed me, Darling!”

Of course, if Boston wins, Toronto fans can say the same.

Bruins in six, but it’s just a hunch.

I’m not betting a plug nickel on it.

“We have more people out than last year,” organizer Bonnie Nolan said.

In a rare instance,

one competitor’s name from Madoc was Pete Marshall, while another competitor, Kenny Uens of Thomasburg, had a horse team named Pete and Marshall.

Raiders cap sports season at OFSAA CORRECTION

Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

The Ontario high school (OFSAA) track and field championship brings together the province’s top athletes, and six Renfrew Collegiate Raiders made the grade.

At the championships in Oshawa June 6-8, senior girl Colleen Fleury threw 31.53 metres to place eighth in the discus.

Taylor Wilson was ninth in the senior boys shot put at 14.52 metres.

Shelby Hartwick posted a 14th-place finish in the midget girls discus. Her distance was 23.44 metres.

In the June 6 Renfrew Mercury, it was incorrectly reported that Hartwick had set a personal best in the 1,500 metres at the East Regional meet in Belleville. It was in the discus, and her personal best of 27.61 metres rewarded Hartwick with a second-place finish.

Also among the top 24 competitors in Ontario in their respective events at OFSAA were RCI’s Josh Thero, 15th in the senior boys javelin at 42.78 metres; Cody McLeese, 17th in the senior boys discus, 40.08 metres; and John Pettigrew, 20th in the junior boys 3,000 metres in 9:31.39.

Renfrew Park Hop June 29 at Ma-Te-Way STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND

Dragonfly Golf Links coordinator Sharron Fillator presents a $510 cheque for the Backpack Plus Program of the Renfrew County Child Poverty Action Network (CPAN). Accepting, at right, is CPAN co-ordinator Lyn Smith.

Dragonfly Golf Links supports CPAN backpack program in need of help Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Support dropped a bit last year, as the Renfrew County Child Poverty Action Network’s Backpack Plus Program delivered backpack kits to about 1,200 kids.

The plan is to deliver the kits, consisting of a backpack, school supplies and shoes, to 1,200 to 1,500 Renfrew County children before the 201314 school year begins. But that will only happen if more financial support is forthcoming in the next few months, says CPAN co-ordinator Lyn Smith.

There is $21,000 in the current backpack fund, but closer to $100,000 is needed, said Smith, after visiting Renfrew to accept a recent dona-

tion from the Dragonfly Golf Links.

The $510 was collected from its ladies’ night 50-50 draws during the 2012 season.

HELPING KIDS IN THE COMMUNITY

The ladies chose this cause, said Dragonfly ladies night co-ordinator Sharron Fillator, “because we felt it was important to help out the children in our community.

“Children should be everyone’s business,” Fillator added.

Dragonfly’s donation pays for almost seven children’s kits, valued at $75.

The Backpack Plus Program officially began in 2005, but has been helping out kids since 2000, says Smith.

Start your summer vacation with an adventure.

The RUNfrew Run Club holds the Renfrew Park Hop on Saturday, June 29 starting at Ma-Te-Way Park.

Kids under 10 years can participate in the Renfrew Park Hop free of charge.

Kits can be picked up between 8 and 8:45 a.m.

Both the 10 and 5-km run/ walk start at 9 a.m., and the

1km at 10:15 a.m.

You can register in advance at Valley Source for Sports, the Renfrew Recreation Centre or at www.town.renfrew. on.ca online.

DETERMINATION

The CPAN co-ordinator says research shows that kids with the proper tools to attend school have a better likelihood of not living in poverty when they grow up.

“CPAN is determined to help these children in need, who without our assistance will have to return to school unprepared to learn and who will feel socially excluded,” said Smith.

Sinking the 8-ball at the Renfrew Legion “The Royal Canadian Legion in Renfrew does much for Community Living, including letting us use the games room upstairs to play pool,” said pool league organizer Gloria Tunn of Community Living Renfrew County South. “We are in our eighth year of playing pool. There are 16 people playing this year. The Legion doesn’t charge us to use their facilities so, each year people are charged a small fee each night they play. Proceeds go towards a dinner and the rest goes back to the Legion,” she added.

Three members of the St. Joseph’s Jaguars track and field team competed among the best in the province at the Ontario high school (OFSAA) championship last weekend in Oshawa.

Midget girl Sarah Power posted a 13th place finish in the discus with a throw of 23.48 metres.

Peter Vice was 17th in the senior boys long jump at 5.99 metres.

The Jaguars Kathryn David posted a 20th-place finish in the junior girls 400 metres. Her time was 1:04.01.

All competitors at OFSAA were among the top 24 athletes in Ontario in their respective events.

Blok runnerup in Montreal Nathan Blok, the 19-year old, two-time Formula Tour Series Champion and resident of Beachburg, returns to the race track in a new series and car for him.

In order to broaden his racing experience, Blok is preparing to challenge himself in the highly competitive Canadian Touring Car Championship.

The first round took place as a support race for the Canadian Grand Prix June 7 to 9 on the tough Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

Blok capped his first weekend of action in 2013 with a big day Sunday.

After finished fifth on Friday and eighth Saturday, Blok reached the podium with a solid secondplace finish.

Blok has plenty of experience on this race track but in the much lighter Formula 1600 open-wheel cars. He was behind the wheel of a BMW 330i sedan from 8legs Racing of Ottawa this past weekend.

The No. 10 BMW is built on a genuine BMW Motorsports fourdoor E46 sedan chassis with a professional roll cage built by BMW Motorsports.

VanMassenhoven’s effort capped a fine year of high school competition.

She won this event at the East Regional meet in Belleville with a throw of 27.94 metres the week before.

Her performance at OFSAA bettered that effort by more than three metres.

A.J. Bimm, grandson of Frank Bimm of Pembroke, captured the midget boys 400 metres Friday afternoon.

The athlete from Toronto’s St. Michael’s College stormed around the track in 51.27 seconds to win by .39 seconds.

Special Olympics torch makes its run through Renfrew Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

If you heard sirens along Raglan Street on the morning of Wednesday, June 5, you need not have been concerned.

They were all for a good cause.

The Ontario Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics made its way downtown from the Renfrew Fairgrounds

The torch run is the largest source of funds for Special Olympics Ontario, which supports more than 18,000 athletes with intellectual disabilities.

A police versus Special Olympics basketball game at the Renfrew Recreation Centre and barbecue followed.

The barbecue raised $400 for Special Olympics in Ontario.

coach Nicole Brown said the efforts of Const. Hayley Chaplin is what makes the Renfrew portion of the torch run possible.

“They do all the leg work.

We just join in,” Brown added of the police.

This was the 26th year for the torch run.

The 2013 run concludes at the Special Olympics Summer Games July 11 in York Region.

Renfrew County’s development and property director Paul Moreau won’t say if a spade will be in the ground later this year to start construction on the Renfrew OPP detachment’s new headquarters.

However, he says negotiations continue with CB Richard Ellis Group, the negotiator for the provincial government’s major infrastructure, which includes new OPP facilities.

The goal would be for the OPP to have a long-term lease agreement with the county.

Also, county council has just approved a request for proposal for site engineering services at 450 O’Brien Road, to determine the most suitable

and cost-effective way to construct an Ontario Provincial Police facility at this site.

“The reality is that we aim to develop that package of land,” said Moreau of the 32 or so acres beside Renfrew County Place. The latter is home to several county services, including the Renfrew paramedic base station.

“Whether it’s used for the OPP or for others, we want to make sure we have done our due diligence, in terms of looking at what proportion of that vacant land is usable,” said Moreau.

Already there is a hydro easement and water and sewer infrastructure on the land.

Of the 32 acres, an estimated two acres or less could accommodate a new Renfrew OPP detachment.

The RFP would also include a legal survey, site services information, a review and recommendation on drainage issues, and recommendations for optimal use of the facility to suit OPP requirements and maximize future land developments.

At present, the Renfrew OPP’s overcrowded facilities are located in two buildings — one at town hall, the other on Stewart Street at the north end of town. There’s all the more need for a larger detachment base, since the Renfrew and Arnprior detachments recently amalgamated.

OPP not soliciting for teddy bear program Ontario Provincial Police

The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has received a number of inquiries from Ontario residents asking about police organizations calling to solicit funds for teddy bears.

While many OPP officers are involved in worthy charities

on their own time, the OPP is advising the public that it does not solicit funds from members of the public for its Community Bear Program or any other OPP program.

The OPP’s Community Bear Program is sponsored by Aviva Canada Inc. Through the sponsorship, Aviva Cana-

da Inc. provides OPP officers with black and white teddy bears which they give to traumatized children they encounter when they respond to incidents such as motor vehicle collisions.

The OPP is reminding people to verify the legitimacy of any organization that calls to solicit funds from

the public.

Making Canada Stronger

The arrival of an ice box was like Christmas time Until that fateful day in the middle of summer, Mother had no choice but to keep the perishables on a swinging shelf in the dug-out under the house.

It was a dank and frightening place, and could only be entered from the outside...there was no trap-door in the kitchen like Aunt Bertha had on the next farm. Two big doors tilted against the house, and they had to be lifted to gain entry. It was a place I hated with a passion, and Mother too never quite got used to putting butter and milk on the swinging shelf.

Blocks of ice were put in big tubs down in the dugout in the hope that what Mother put down there would be kept chilled enough that we all wouldn’t die from food poisoning. Of course when the ice melted, the big tubs had to be hauled up and emptied a job for my big strapping brothers.

But it was Grandfather who changed all that one day when he came out from Ottawa and ordered Father to hitch up the wagon and head into Renfrew.

Of course, Grandfather had no intention of riding all the way into Renfrew sitting on a rickety seat on a wagon. He drove ahead in his rumble seat car and told Father where to meet him. Everett went with Father to help.

The purpose of his trip into town was to buy Mother a brand new Barnett ice box! “Uncivilized! That’s what it is!” he said time and again on his regular visits to the farm, and when one of us kids was sent down into the dug-out to bring up milk

Mary Cook’s Memories mary cook

or butter, or anything else that Mother hoped would keep fresh long enough so that we could eat it.

We always had had an ice house, and it was always full of blocks of ice, but never until that wonderful day, did we have an ice box to put the blocks in!

Mother spent the entire morning trying to come up with a decent place to put the ice box in the kitchen. It had to be well away from the Findlay Oval, of course.

And it couldn’t sit in the window looking out into the grape arbour...that’s where the old pine table sat and where we had our meals. Finally, without even knowing what it would look like, or what size it was, Mother decided it would go catty corner next to the little room off the kitchen that served as Mother and Father’s bedroom. So that place was scrubbed by Audrey, wiped dry, and newspapers laid out covering the entire corner.

For reasons unknown to me at the time, Mother made all of us change from play clothes into our next-to-Sunday best…was it because we were getting an ice box? Or was it because Grandfather would be there for a visit?

At any rate, we were spit-clean when Grandfather drove back

into the yard, and said the new ice box would be here as soon as Father could get back from Renfrew.

Mother in a clean Dan River dress and a fresh white apron, sat on the back stoop waiting for its arrival, and Audrey and I perched on the pump stoop.

Grandfather brought out a kitchen chair to the yard. He wouldn’t sit on anything that wasn’t spotlessly clean in case he got a mark on his white flannel pants! It was like we were waiting for the Queen to arrive!

And then we saw the wagon round the corner at the far end of the lane, and as it got closer we could see Everett standing with his arms wrapped around what liked like a casket standing on its end. Father pulled the wagon up close to the kitchen door.

“My oh my,” Mother said, not even waiting until it was loaded off onto the ground, she leaned into the wagon and rubbed her hands all over the new ice box like it was made of gold!

It took the three brothers and Father to lift it off the wagon, with Grandfather telling them to be careful and not scratch it.

It was shiny wood, the colour of caramel candy, with silver handles, and I thought was grand

enough that it could easily have sat in the parlour.

Without even being told, Everett tore to the ice house, and using the big black iron tongs, hauled a block of ice into the house. It was beastly hot in the kitchen with the Findlay Oval pumping out heat, and I secretly wondered if the ice box would cool off the whole house. Emerson swung open the little door on the side, and Everett plopped in the block of ice.

Audrey and I were sent down to the dugout for all the perishables, and Mother arranged it all in the ice box like she was laying out blocks for a quilt.

Grandfather had thought of everything.

While in Renfrew he bought an exact duplicate of our white granite dish pan, and he slid it under the ice box to catch the drip. We sat around the ice box on kitchen chairs, as if waiting for it to tell us something. It sure looked mighty nice in the corner, and I could tell Mother was as proud as if someone had bought her a new car!

What a change the new ice box brought to our old log house. Now we had it as well as a telephone, thanks to Uncle Lou. Emerson wondered what we had to do to get running water, and I longed for the day we could just push up a switch and a light would go on just like at my little friend Joyce’s house.

Sadly, water from a tap, and light from a bulb were not to be.

Both would have to wait until the day we left the farm many years away.

www.cherylgallant.com Our Government is committed to promoting consumer protection in the wireless industry.

This week, the Government of Canada proposed a new wireless code, which will help protect Canadians while giving them greater choice and opportunity with respect to cell phones. This code, which will be enforced by the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), will set out basic rights and protections for Canadians and small businesses with cellphones, smartphones, and other wireless mobile devices.

This wireless code is the result of eight months of public consultations, where the Government asked Canadians how they would improve the existing wireless contract system.

These consultations have produced a wireless code which will: • allow Canadians to terminate their wireless contracts after two years without cancellation fees; • prevent bill shock by capping extra data charges at $50/month and international data roaming charges at $100/month; • allow cellphones to be unlocked after 90 days; • allow for the return of cellphones within 15 days; and • make wireless contracts simpler and easier to understand.

The new wireless code will take effect December 2nd, 2013, and will only apply to contracts bought after that date.

In order to encourage a competitive marketplace, there needs to be at least four wireless providers are needed in every region of the country. To help meet this standard, and to promote competition and fairer, lower wireless prices, the Government has decided to block Telus’ planned takeover of Mobilicity and its acquisition of Mobilicity’s wireless spectrum licences.

Earlier this year, our Government announced several new measures, including expanding the requirement for companies to provide roaming to competitors and strengthening cell tower sharing rules.

Our Government is always seeking public input and suggestions on how to make the wireless industry fairer to consumers.

Since the Conservative Party came into Government in 2006, I have advocated for the expansion or wireless and high speed internet through rural Canada. This resulted in the expansion of high speed internet into Renfrew Nipissing Pembroke through the hard work of the members of the local Broadband Renfrew Access Valley Ontario (BRAVO) Task Force I struck in 2007.

(3"/% 306/%4 Why did you choose RVH for your Health Administration Residency?

Three major factors played into my decision on Renfrew: 1. The opportunity to learn from a worldclass health administration team and hospital staff.

2. Gain an understanding and appreciation for the role that a hospital plays in a rural community setting.

3. A residency placement at RVH provides an unparalleled opportunity to learn about the patient experience and about the functioning of a truly exceptional health care organization.

What have been the highlights so far?

It was an incredible experience to be a part of the Volunteer Luncheon and the RVH Celebration of Worklife all in my first week at RVH! A major highlight has

certainly been getting to know and learn from the “RVH family.” I consider myself very fortunate to have met so many kind and inspirational people during my time at RVH so far.

What are your goals for the upcoming weeks?

Continue to work toward developing an in-depth understanding of the patient experience at RVH, and to positively contribute to the “RVH family.”

MHA Student Andrew Milligan helps to serve at the annual RVH Volunteer Luncheon.

What else are you looking forward to?

I feel very privileged to be welcomed at RVH this summer. I am excited to continue learning from the senior management team, hospital staff, and patients.

My roots are in Ottawa/Ottawa Valley—it is nice being back home. I am looking forward to canoe tripping and competing in Spartan Races on weekends!

Catholic priest pleads guilty to molestations, sentencing this fall pleboeuf@metroland. com

A Catholic priest has pleaded guilty to five counts of sexually molesting young boys in incidents that occurred

about 40 years ago in Renfrew.

Father Daniel Miller made the plea during a court appearance in Pembroke on June 3. The retired priest was accompanied by Msgr.

Douglas Bridge of the Pembroke Diocese.

The victims, who ranged from 9 to 13 years old, were from the Arnprior, Deep River and Eganville areas.

Court heard that Miller treated the boys with outings to the movies and the Renfrew Fair, bought them gifts such as clothing and treated them to meals at restaurants and fast food

outlets.

Most of the indecent incidents, which occurred between 1969 and 1978, happened in Miller’s mother’s home in Renfrew during overnight stays.

After being confronted in the late 1990s by a mother whose son told her about the abuse after he had become an adult, Miller wrote a letter of apology and was reassigned duties,

A police investigation was begun some 10 years later and Miller was charged in February 2012 with gross indecency and indecent assault. He originally

As well his stint in Arnprior, he served at Catholic churches in Eganville and Deep River.

$70,000 overspending on McGonigal Street building project Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Renfrew County officials arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happy about the project cost overrun on Arnpriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new social services building. But they hope to learn from the experience.

Those officials include development and property director Paul Moreau, who heads up the 23-member department.

During the May 29 meeting of county council, he explained the reasons for the $70,000 overrun on the building at 80 McGonigal Street.

The former Valley Catering building was gutted and rebuilt in time for a late-February 2013 opening. It now serves as the Arnprior headquarters for the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s division of Ontario Works, Renfrew County Housing Cor-

poration and Renfrew County Child Care.

The entire project budget was $1,601,829, excluding the 4.3 per cent overrun of about $70,000. This money will be recovered through lease agreements with the social services department. Initially, a maximum of $75,000 will come from Renfrew Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s building reserve fund.

Despite the overrun, Moreau said the county did â&#x20AC;&#x153;better than averageâ&#x20AC;? with a construction cost of about $213 per square foot, but that his departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budgeting and material analysis left something to be desired.

The countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget included about $1.1 million for construction and $500,000 for such matters as legal issues, landscaping, studies and property acquisition.

M. Sullivan & Son rebuilt

the 5,600-square-foot building, while the architect was Wendy Brawley of Barry J. Hobin & Associates Architects Inc. The countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overrun costs included two studies. One was to examine asbestos floor material, which was eventually removed.

The second study was a Level 2 environmental assessment. Because the building was next to the former CP rail line, the county did that assessment to ensure there would be no soil-contamination issues down the road.

There were also unforeseen costs for exterior add-ons, upgraded accessibility for the handicapped and special millwork for security, said Moreau. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned is there are more chal-

lenges for retro-fits for special-purpose buildings,â&#x20AC;? said Moreau. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we were going to get away with a more conservative budget estimate on this project. Most projects have a 10 per cent contingency. We thought our budget was tight enough, so we had a two per cent contingency, but that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough.â&#x20AC;?

On the bright side, the development and property committee says the finished building maintains the design and appearance established by Renfrew County for previous projects throughout the county. Examples would be Renfrew County Place and countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paramedic base stations.

Manor upgraded to accreditation with commendation creditation with commendation.

With four possible accreditation decisions, the long-term care home in Renfrew received the second highest distinction.

Facilities that receive accreditation are surveyed every three to four years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This certificate shows that we care about our resident and patient safety and providing quality service,â&#x20AC;? explained Bonnechere Manor administrator Shayne Hoelke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means that we were assessed by our peers, met or exceeded national standards of excellence and continue to strive for high-quality health care.â&#x20AC;?

44 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, June 13, 2013

EMC lifestyle - Walking into the first of Bob Mitchell’s several sprawling greenhouses, the sweet, earthy smell of ripening tomatoes takes over your senses.

For a brief moment, it’s just you and the fruit. You’re filled with a sense of hominess, of nostalgia for your grandmother, or the proud memory of the first vegetable you ever nurtured.

When you come back to reality, you start to look around and you can hardly believe your eyes. Row upon row of leafy tomato plants climb toward the soft, filtered light coming in from above. The greenhouse seems to stretch on forever.

Little technology gets in the way of nature’s beauty; the stems grow from plasticsheathed blocks of crushed coconut in raised troughs and are clipped to small rods above. Small pipes wind along the floor, masked by green tangles of sagging vines.

Every so often a bumblebee lazes by, off to pollinate another plant or return to one of the hives placed throughout the greenhouse.

Mitchell, the owner and founder of SunTech Greenhouses, on Doyle Road south of Manotick, somehow fits

into the greenhouse ecosystem, despite a brusque manner and a penchant for loud exclamations.

The lifelong farmer moved to a dairy and cash crop farm south of Kenmore when he was six, which he farmed with his family until 1998.

And then he entered a greenhouse for the first time in his life.

“The smell, that was what hooked me,” he said.

From that visit in September 1998, it took 11 months for Mitchell to buy the Doyle Road property, set up a greenhouse that covers a hectare, and plant 22,000 beefsteak tomato plants.

“Just a starter kit,” Mitchell laughed.

Today, the farm has 1.6 hectares of greenhouse facilities and produces 11 different commercial products. That includes several tomato varieties as well as eggplants, cucumbers, peppers and green beans.

NATURE’S WAY

While SunTech certainly doesn’t profess to be organic or pesticide free, it makes use of what nature has to offer.

A common greenhouse pest is the white fly, a tiny white bug that can multiply into the billions. As they drink the juices from the plants, they

excrete everywhere – and that can prevent the plants from getting the sunlight they need.

But instead of spraying plants with chemicals, Mitchell brings in 40,000 encarsia formosa, a tiny parasitic wasp that lays its eggs in white fly eggs – essentially stopping the reproduction cycle.

“You don’t pay them by the hour and they don’t miss,” Mitchell said.

Bumblebees are another important part of the greenhouse ecosystem.

Brought in from Windsor, Ont., Mitchell’s bees are relied upon to pollinate the tomatoes.

The number of bees loose in the greenhouse directly correlates to the number of open flowers, Mitchell said.

There are usually two or three bee stings a year, he said, but as the chief bee handler he has managed to escape a sting for nearly 14 years.

Of course, the whole point of a greenhouse is to get around Mother Nature’s whims, and SunTech employs a complex computer system to monitor the indoor and outdoor temperatures and adjust the roof vents accordingly.

The average daily temperature inside is about 19 degrees, Mitchell said, and they can harvest about 10 months of the year.

Get ready to go zip-zip-zip lining steve.newman@metroland.com

R0012147540

Florida, Costa Rica and Nicaragua are destinations for zip line enthusiasts. But you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to travel that far for exhilarating zip line experiences, which are growing in popularity in North America.

Ownership of Logos Land Resort, just outside Cobden, is hoping a signiďŹ cant investment in its new three-leg, zip line course will bring smiles and goose bumps to many more of its customers in coming years.

Challenges Unlimited Inc. is completing construction and installation of a parallel zip line course over Astrolabe Lake this month. The course warms up nicely, with the ďŹ rst zip carrying visitors 201 metres across a small bay. Zip No. 2 runs 343 metres across the middle of the lake, before the ďŹ nal 401-metre leg returns buckled-in riders back above the water. The total ride is 3,100 feet, or almost one kilometre, at speeds of up to 35 km/h, usually six metres above the water, but sometimes closer to 25.

Logos Land owner Jerrold Paxtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business partner, Kevin Cahill, died last December, but not the dream to continue to improve on what Logos Land offers its customers.

Facilities already in place include the water park, with its slide, splash pad, grill house, mini-golf, animal petting farm, beach and giant lake trampolines.

There are also timeshare villas, motel suites, 90 recreational vehicle (RV) park and camp sites, rental RVs, 100 wilderness camp sites for trailers or tenters, and the neighbouring Oaks of Cobden golf course.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have four goals in mind,â&#x20AC;? says Logos Land director of marketing and sales Fred Glover.

The ďŹ rst goal is to offer something, like the zip line course, that caters more to older youngsters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made investments in recent years for the little kids, like the petting farm and the splash pad,â&#x20AC;? says Glover. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But for older kids, as families grow up, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want them to hit the boredom curve.â&#x20AC;?

The same philosophy applies to younger adults. The connection of the zip line for these potential customers also happens to coincide with the ideal weight for zip line passengers. The weight allowance runs from 75 to about 275 pounds.

The second marketing goal, says Glover, is to expand Logos Landâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season, which for the longest time has been concentrated in July and August. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The zip line can be used year-round, but more practically it will certainly run in the summer, as well as in the spring and fall.â&#x20AC;?

Logos Land has already experienced positives vibes about the new course. For example, response at the recent Ottawa RV Show, which attracts more than 20,000 visitors, was extremely positive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our big posters stopped them,â&#x20AC;? says Glover. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It surprised us, especially the positive verbal feedback from 40-, 50- and 60-year-olds.

But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see for sure this summer.â&#x20AC;?

Glover acknowledges thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another zip line, at Chutes Coulonge, while pointing out that Logos Land Resort aspires to become a growing part of multi-activity tourist packages in the area, thus Logos Landâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third

marketing goal.

For example, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no reason tourists canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t zip over Astrolabe Lake, play golf rounds at a variety of courses in the area, see the Bonnechere Caves, zip some more in Chutes Coulonge and try some whitewater rafting or kayaking.

Unlike Logos Land, Chutes Coulonge offers two zip lines of 100 and 260 metres over whitewater rapids and a shorter nine-zip series.

As Glover says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every zip line you see is different.â&#x20AC;?

The areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest zip line, says Glover, will be simple, safe, exhilarating and an atSTEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND tractive addition to what Lo- The project manager for the Logos Land zip line is Dave Humphrys of Challenges Unlimgos Land already offers. ited.

The zip line will increase local employment. About a dozen staff will be hired to run the facility.

Zip-liners will wear a helmet and gloves while holding on to a harness that is hooked Sensational to a pulley attached to the zip line cable. Reaching the platforms is easy, via stairwells.

There will also be a practice zone where riders can hook to a shorter line to familiarize themselves with the art and science of the sport.

The cost is $16 plus GST per zip line course, but disHeart of the counts will be offered for Rideau Canal groups, multiple rides, and those booking on-site accommodation.

For more details, check out www.logosland.com or call 613-646-9765.

The zip line is being constructed by Challenges Unlimited Inc. The Bracebridge, Ont., ďŹ rm has built zip lines, challenge courses, climbing walls and towers, and aerial parks for more than 20 years.

Five simple tips before hitting the road EMC lifestyle - Summer getaways are common indulgence in Canada and for the more than four-in-ďŹ ve of us who own, lease or ďŹ nance a vehicle, exploring the Great White North often begins with the push of a pedal.

Whether your plans include cross-country road trips or a weekend exodus to the cottage, here are a few tips to keep your vehicle looking and running its best on the open road: s +EEP IT CLEAN 3TARTING A road trip with a clean car is a must, but be eco-responsible. Always look for products that are designed to be tough on grease, bugs, mud and carbon deposits, while still being safe for the environment. s #HECK YOUR WHEELS -AKE sure tires are road-trip ready.

For better handling and mileage, swap winter tires for summer ones, or all-season types. Check the pressure of the tires before you take off by consulting the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manual or on the side of the tire. Properly inďŹ&#x201A;ated tires improve grip on the road and

save money at the pump. s 4OP UP mUIDS .O ONE wants to be stuck on the side of the highway. Having proper levels of windshield washer ďŹ&#x201A;uid, engine oil, radiator coolant and brake ďŹ&#x201A;uid can make or break a road trip. Check the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manual for the recommended ďŹ&#x201A;uid levels.

Remember overďŹ lling your ďŹ&#x201A;uids can do just as much damage as not ďŹ lling up enough. s 'ET RID OF THE SALT !S THE temperatures rise, so does the rate of corrosion and after a full-season of battling snow and slush, the chemicals used to clear roads can eat away at a carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body. +EEP YOUR CAR LOOKING AND running its best by getting a professional rust protection at least once a year. s 4AKE IT TO AN EXPERT 3TAY safe and avoid unforeseen expenses by following your carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommended maintenance schedule. See a professional to give you the green light for long-distance travel. )34/#+0(/4/ #/- .%534/#+)-!'%3

Astrolabe visit to mark Champlain’s 400th anniversary Sherry Haaima sherry.haaima@metroland.com

When Samuel de Champlain travelled up the Ottawa River and through this area exactly 400 years ago, he found pristine woodland filled with old-growth pine and challenging rapids.

There are several special events happening locally to celebrate the 400th anniversary of when Champlain, a famous French navigator, cartographer, draughtsman, soldier, explorer, geographer, ethnologist, diplomat and chronicler travelled through and stayed over in the Ottawa Valley.

Champlain founded New France and Quebec City in 1608, and has a storied local history that includes a centuries-old astrolabe discovered near Cobden that may or may not have belonged to the explorer.

That very artifact will be visiting Arnprior soon, much to the delight of local history buffs. Champlain is our founding father, said Terry Currie of the Fitzroy Township Historical Society.

“On June 4, 1613, Champlain and his party of six landed on Mohr Island off MacLaren’s Landing and on June 5 they portaged around Chats Falls on the Quebec side,” said Currie.

The group then travelled to what is now Portage-duFort and up to Muskrat Lake, where the astrolabe was reportedly lost.

Champlain’s entourage consisted of four French men and

one Algonquin.

“His intent was to establish relations with the Algonquins at Alumet Island,” said Currie.

Specifically, Champlain was looking for a road to Hudson Bay, where the best furs could be found.

“The French didn’t come to conquer, they came to Christianize and to commercialize,” explained Currie.

The Algonquins didn’t want Champlain linking up with the Huron natives, recounts Currie, and persuaded him to return to Montreal rather than travel ahead to Hudson’s Bay. “He actually left one of his French companions with the Algonquins to learn the language,” said Currie. He also invited some young Algonquins to return to Montreal.

Currie is among the nonbelievers when it comes to the found astrolabe being Champlain’s.

Champlain was the son of a wealthy family, reportedly a relative of the King of France, and would have had much better equipment than the one that is touted as his, said Currie.

An interesting note, he added, is that Champlain’s birth notice was recently discovered in a town west of France.

Arnprior and District Museum curator Janet Carlile wanted to recognize the anniversary in a special way.

“I thought it was a good idea to try to so something,” she said.

And while doing something on the same level as the 2010 Prince and the Prior reenactment commemorating

Samuel de Champlain, one of Canada’s greatest explorers, travelled through these parts 400 years ago. The anniversary is being marked by special events, including an astrolabe exhibit at the Arnprior Museum June 15-17. the 150th anniversary of the visit of the Prince of Wales to Arnprior was out of reach, the astrolabe’s visit to the museum June 15-17 is a boon for the area.

“It’s a real feather in Arnprior’s hat to be able to get this here,” said Carlile. “It’s big stuff. I hope we have a lot of people come out.”

The quest to secure the special item for its two-day visit started about a year ago when Carlile contacted Canadian Museum of Civilization direc-

tor Mark O’Neill and several other industry officials to see about the possibility of hosting the special item.

Now belonging to the CMC, the astrolabe was found in the 1830s.

There is some controversy over whether this particular astrolabe was the one Champlain’s diaries describe him

losing near a small lake close to Cobden, said Carlile, but there’s no doubt it dates back a long time.

“It’s a 406-year-old astrolabe,” said Carlile. “There’s no question as to the age that it is. As to whether or not it belonged to Champlain, who knows.”

Because it is such a significant piece of Canadian history, special attention will be paid to security.

“The police have been notified and security plans will be in place,” said Carlile.

The museum will host a special opening at the start of the visit.

“We’re hoping to have someone from CMC come to speak about it, which will be very fun,” said Carlile.

The item itself has a storied history since its discovery.

“It was sold by the people who discovered it for $10, along with some silver,” explains Carlile.

It was part of a private collection in the United States for some time and then left to the New York historical society.

From there the CMC obtained it, said Carlile, with funding from a private Ottawa company.

Algonquin College students will put together a story board that will be on display alongside the astrolabe and the museum’s Eastern Woodland First Nations’ pottery will be

on display nearby.

“It’s from the same time period and will help put things into context for people,” said Carlile.

The visit may lead to another special acquisition for the museum.

“We may be able to get a replica of it for one of our new exhibits,” said Carlile.

The astrolabe is visiting only two Valley museums. It will be at the Champlain Trail Museum in Pembroke prior to coming to Arnprior.

RIVERDRIVE DISPLAY

Among the local nods to the anniversary will be a Champlain-themed virtual display at the June 29 McNab Days Riverdrive festival, courtesy of the Arnprior-McNab-Braeside Archives.

Charles Macnamara (18701944) who was recognized locally and internationally for his work as an experimental photographer, entomologist and field naturalist in the early years of the 20th century, avidly studied Champlain and even interviewed Edward Lee, the boy who found the astrolabe in Cobden, said archivist Laurie Dougherty.

“He did lots of research about Champlain. MacNamara was so excited about Lee’s recollection of the event. He goes into some detail,” said Dougherty.

Owner Ruth Goodfellow-Walsh welcomes and looks forward to serving her past and future customers.

Eastern Ontario residents disturbed by door-to-door water heater salesperson Polling undertaken by the Homeowner Protection Centre (HPC) shows one in four eastern Ontario families have had a negative experience with a door-to-door water heater salesperson.

The news should come as little surprise given that complaints about door-todoor water heater rentals have been the second most frequent received by the Ministry of Consumer Services for two years running.

Total complaints received as of 2012 exceeded 3,200.

In eastern Ontario, 65 per cent of those surveyed stated they would be more likely to support a provincial party that would provide greater protection for consumers in Ontario with respect to door-to-door water heater sales.

The call for consumer protection was consistent regardless of voting intent for the Liberals, PCs or NDPs. The poll also showed almost 70 per cent of those surveyed in eastern Ontario agree there needs to be Ontario legislation to regulate water heater

door-to-door salespersons.

Recently, the Ontario government introduced Bill 55, Stronger Protection for Ontario Consumers Act, 2013.

BILL 55 Features of Bill 55 include doubling the cooling-off period for consumers to 20 days, prohibiting the installation of equipment during the cooling-off period, and the requirement of contracts to be explained in clear, easyto-understand language.

Bill 55 is held up in second reading, and has yet to be deferred to one of the committees of the legislature for public hearings.

“The concern is that until the legislation is passed, the intensity and frequency of bad practices that deceive ever more Ontarians, including seniors, newcomers, and those on fixed incomes may continue unabated,” said HPC executive director Michael Lio in a news release.

“HPC encourages each

52 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, June 13, 2013

Ontario MPP to support the quick passage of Bill 55 to protect consumers from unethical door-to-door sales tactics.”

HPC created a website (waterheaterdoortodoor.com) to give Ontario consumers a voice and platform to encourage government to enact changes that offer protection from deceptive door-to-door water heater sales tactics.

On the website, Ontarians can sign a petition to support the quick passage of Bill 55, send a letter to their MPP and share their personal stories.

This website serves an important purpose, since more often than not people aren’t aware of their rights when it comes to door-to door salespeople. This site contains valuable tips on what to look for when a salesperson comes to the door.

The omnibus poll of 1,000 voting-age Ontarians has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. Interviews were conducted May 10, 11 and 12, 2013.

So He put His arms around him And whispered, “Come with Me.” With tearful eyes, we watched him suffer, And saw him fade away.

Although we loved him dearly, We could not make him stay.

A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands to rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes “the best”.
