Peat moss that combusted is being blamed for a fire that caused extensive damage to a Renfrew home on the corner of Joffre Avenue REGION and Ma-Te-Way Park Drive June 16.

Efforts to help Chad and Ashley Phinney and their four children, who lost everything in the blaze, are .COM already underway. The couple had just rented and moved into the home with their four girls. No one was injured in the blaze.

Renfrew Fire Chief Guy Longtin said this is not the first time that peat moss, or a combination of peat moss and black earth, has caused fires in Renfrew. He knows of at least two others. In one of those cases it was a cigarette butt extinguished in the moss that caught fire.

“It’ll heat up on its own,” said Longtin. “It gets heated up too much and it can cause problems. Keep it wet and keep it out of extreme sun.”

Colleagues, friends, family salute Audrey Green Sherry Haaima

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

It was a special evening for a special woman.

A who’s who of Renfrew town and county council members, past and present, as well as other officials, friends and family members, gathered June 14 to pay tribute to Audrey Green, a woman who dedicated more than 35 years of service to the community.

The former mayor, reeve and councillor was recently presented with the prestigious Ann MacLean Award for outstanding service by a woman in municipal politics and an event June 14 at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre was an opportunity to recognize the award and honour Green, who retired from politics in 2014.

Green travelled to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) convention in Winnipeg, Man., to receive the award June 5.

Renfrew County Warden and Renfrew Reeve Peter Emon, county FCM representative Walter Stack and former Renfrew Mayor Sandi Heins were among those who spoke June 14.

Officials from Heritage Renfrew and the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Auxiliary, groups that Green continues to be involved with, were also on hand.

Green was born in 1929, married in 1950 and had four children. She attended Drummond’s Business College, where she received

a business management and accounting honours diploma and also attended Algonquin College. She worked as a bookkeeper for a local law office before she got involved in municipal politics.

She was first elected councillor in Renfrew in 1972 and was the first woman to serve on Renfrew County Council in 1974. She became mayor six years later in 1978 and served in that role until 1991. From 19972014 she was once again reeve.

Mayor Don Eady said facilitating Green’s award has been a highlight of his time as mayor. “Audrey has mentored many women in municipal politics. However, it is her long lasting friendships she made with colleagues that has impacted (council’s decision to nominated her for the award). Everyone, man or woman, who has chosen to serve on municipal government or committee or boards in Renfrew, has been touched by Audrey Green’s kindness and advice.”

Eady presented Green with a certificate from Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski, as well as a commemorative scroll on behalf of the town.

“She, over the years, has been a leader and inspiration to women in politics, but I don’t think you should limit her inspiration to women in politics, she’s been a leader and a role model for generations of males as well,” said Emon, who presented a certificate on behalf of the county. “She’s been always quick to offer her support and comments -

Former Renfrew Mayor Sandi Heins, right, is among those who spoke in tribute to former Renfrew Mayor Audrey Green at an event June 14. Green recently won the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ Ann MacLean Award. For more photos from the event, see www.insideottawavalley.com . sometimes they were critical comments and they should have been.”

She was always available to people, he added.

Aside from her business persona, she also has a very mischievous, fun-loving side, he said.

And her community didn’t stop at the boundary of Renfrew, he added.

“She was quick to erase a line on the map and help out a neighbour,” said Emon.

Stack described Green as “feisty” and “intelligent” and congratulated her on the honour.

“This award is given to women only and women who have blazed a trail in municipal politics. Audrey, in your 35-plus years of service, you have certainly done that,” he said.

“This recognition is certainly well-earned and well-deserved.”

Heins said it was an honour and pleasure to offer her support to the nomination.

“Her devotion and commitment to the betterment of this community and the County of Renfrew speaks loud with all the projects Audrey has been so much a part of,” said Heins.

Green got involved in municipal politics at a time that wasn’t as welcoming to women, she explained.

“However, her feisty determination, gentle questioning ways and questioning until she got the answer that she wanted, soon elevated her to the leadership role that no man could deny her, setting a path for those, like myself, who followed,” said Heins.

Green encouraged her to get involved by way of the recreation committee back in the ‘70s, she said.

“Mayor Green took me under her wing,” she said. “Audrey, you have once again put Renfrew on the map, you are an incredible lady, you are an incredible public servant,” said Heins. “You have woven so much of

yourself into this community while looking after your wonderful family that you brought up in this community. You’ve touched the lives of so many.”

Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards Mayor Janice Visneskie-Bush worked with Green for 17 years, sitting across from her at County Council.

“For those of you that live in the Town of Renfrew, she represented you well. She spoke very highly of this town and always fought hard for your issues,” she said.

Besides her political side, Green has a great heart, said Bush, recounting how she came and helped her through a serious illness.

Green thanked all those in attendance for the tribute and said she felt she would burst with pride upon hearing the news she had won the Ann MacLean Award.

“Anything I have done for my town, for the county or others I have never expected thanks. I never thought I was mentoring anyone.

“I just did it because it was a natural instinct, just to make everyone feel wanted and capable of doing their job and to encourage them to carry on,” said Green.

“The Ann MacLean Award, given by the FCM, is a marvellous award for any woman to receive. I may have won it, but you are the reason it happened,” she said to the audience. “Renfrew and Renfrew County have recognized women in politics since away back in 1972.”

She recalled uphill battles working to improve Renfrew’s water system and establish a day care facility.

“It’s up to us, ladies, to stand tall, make sure we do our homework, vote the way we feel and stick with it and you’ll see that someday you’ll hit the peak that I’m at now – old, falling apart, I’m still damn well standing tall and I’m going to carry on,” she said.

Fundraising dance planned for July 15 to help fire victims Continued from front

In a strange coincidence, Ashley’s brother, Andrew Miller, who was working doing bylaw enforcement, noticed smoke and flames as he was patrolling the area and knocked on the door to notify those inside. He was unaware this was the home his sister had just moved into with her family.

“He bangs on the door and sure enough it’s the babysitter and his niece,” said Glenn Miller, Ashley’s father.

The babysitter and toddler got out safely and Andrew went back in for the family pet.

“Andrew went back in to get the dog and when he came out the whole house was engulfed,” said Miller.

He praised the efforts of the Renfrew Fire Department. “They were quite thorough,” he said.

It was a neighbour’s security camera video that shows the peat moss igniting, said Miller.

“You watch it and see this plant just blow up,” he said.

While shaken up, the family is doing alright, said Miller.

“Everybody seems to be fine, they are just reorganizing,” he said.

They had some insurance and

Red Cross is expected to be offering some support, but the family is certainly in need and any help is welcomed, said Miller. The girls are aged 7, 6, 5 and 18 months.

Drop-off locations have been established in Renfrew at Miller’s home (143 June St.) and in Arnprior at Crazy Beautiful Tattoos, Piercings and More on John Street.

An online account to help the victims raised $1,700 in the first three hours. Donate at www.gofundme.com/phinney .

A fundraising dance has also been planned for July 15 at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 148 in Renfrew at 8 p.m. Call 613222-5341 or email yourcruiser@ gmail.com for more information.

Town of Renfrew approves first CIP grant Sherry Haaima

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

The Flower Factory will be the first business to benefit from Renfrew’s new Community Improvement Plan (CIP).

“Owner Christina Ouellet has applied for a financial incentive to make changes to the façade of her business,” said town planner Ivan Burton at the June 14 meeting.

“The proposed improvements include removal of the existing aluminum siding,” said Burton.

“She will be replacing it with cedar siding, which will be stained or varnished.

Secondly, the façade will incorporate four columns, corner accents and detailing similar to the cornice of the top of the façade.”

Burton noted Ouellet is a tenant of the property and has received approval from the owner.

She will also be incorporating a new sign, a cost not included in the proposed CIP application.

Three quotes were provided and as per best practice, the town will provide 50 per cent of the lowest

quote, explained Burton, so $1,403.

“I’m tickled, I love the design, I think it’s incredible,” said Coun.

Kate Windle.

“I think it will do nothing but accent that part of the town.”

In December 2015, the town approved the CIP. The Flower Factory is located at 166 Raglan St. South.

New score clock

Council has authorized staff to purchase a new digital score board for the Tye Diamond at Ma-Te-way Park.

The recreation fundraising committee has committed $10,000 towards the purchase and installation of a new Nevco score board Model 1635, so the addition comes with no capital cost to the town.

Renfrew Minor Baseball is hosting the 2016 provincial baseball championships this summer so the feature is most welcome, say officials.

“The score board will provide the upcoming provincial baseball championships with a professional

quality feature,” says the report, noting it will also benefit park users for years to come.

The score clock is six-by-16feet and displays home and visitor scores, innings and strikeouts, explained recreation director Kevin Hill.

He noted the board is the same one used inside the arena at MaTe-Way so should be relatively for users to operate.

borrowing and in fact that is the case. After three years, it will generate a profit for the municipality,” said treasurer Keray O’Reilly.

The total payments will be just short a million dollars over 20 years and revenue generated will be about $1.2 million, said O’Reilly, who noted the revenue estimates are on the conservative side.

Solar panels

Renfrew’s newest coffee shop, The Vintage Kettle, at 232 Raglan St. has received approval for a small outdoor patio area.

Renfrew council granted approval June 14.

The patio will consist of two round tables with two chairs each.

This patio is different than others, explained town planner Ivan Burton, because it won’t be enclosed by a fence or railing because no alcohol will be served at the facility.

“Outdoor patios help create an attractive street atmosphere,” said Burton.

“As well as boost the vitality of the downtown areas.”

Council has passed a required set of bylaws to facilitate the debenturing of funds to cover costs for solar panels on the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre and the water treatment plant.

Council passed the bylaw authorizing a long-term (20-year) serial debenture agreement with the Ontario Infrastructure and Lands Corporation in the amount of $750,000 at an interest rate of 2.89 per cent.

“The revenue generated by these two solar installations will be more than sufficient to cover the cost of

Canada 150 Fund reopens Cheryl Gallant, MP for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, is excited to announce that funding is once again available through the Canada 150 program.

This is the second round of funding the former Conservative government set aside for celebration and community infrastructure to ensure a legacy for the commemoration. “The Canada 150 Fund was our Conservative government’s way of continuing the traditional of funding community infrastructure projects in commemoration of the major milestones of Confederation,” said Gallant. “Projects like the new roof on the Renfrew Legion hall, so it can continue to serve as a place for gatherings with friends, and community events for years to come.”

Two streams of funding are available through the Canada 150 program. The first seeks to support the organization and operation of unique, region-specific activities which plan to celebrate Canada on the 150th Anniversary of Confederation.

Soccer program kicking in Horton Township Riverfest June 25 boise.

tlepack@metroland.com

The new Horton soccer program is a kicking success after only a few weeks running.

That was the report from the recreation department at the Horton Township regular council meeting on June 7.

The new program has 57 under six players and 32 under eight players.

Deputy Mayor Robert Johnston has volunteered to cut the grass for the season and it was decided to cut the grass on Wednesday nights before the program kicks off each week.

The soccer comedy fundraiser organized by Tina Hunt and Danielle McGregor brought in $515 for the program.

They are planning another comedy night on Oct. 1.

Keep clean

Two bylaws were passed to ensure residents maintain their properties.

The new property standards and clean yards bylaw were both approved.

Land must not be unsightly and the new bylaws also make it easier and faster to resolve messy yards.

Public works

Council approved the hiring of two temporary employees to assist with labour in the public works department and the landfill site.

The report supporting the hiring stated additional employees were required to meet the needs of projects based on vacant positions.

One person resigned unexpectedly and the township advertised for a summer student and no one applied.

They were able to hire the same student from last summer.

A report on the required soak pit at the landfill site per the environmental compliance approval was approved and this project will be considered in the 2017 budget deliberations.

Humphries Road will be surface treated this summer after council agreed to amend its agreements with Robert and Julie Johnston.

Deputy Mayor Robert Johnston declared pecuniary interest. It was decided the work will start in June.

The original agreement stated the surface treatment was to be applied after the construction of the residences on the road.

However, the purchaser of the last lot does not have plans to build for another six to seven years, while the four other lots have been built on.

Elements

Council agreed it is satisfied the conditions have been met outlined in the site plan agreement for Elements Luxury Tented Camp and Nature Spa. Since the agreement is completed the township returned the $5,000 deposit to owner Nicole Lafram-

integrity officer/commissioner for two years.

The individual was a local retired clerk in the County of Renfrew.

However, a concern was raised by a council member that the investigation carried out in December 2015 was not thorough enough as not all members involved in the action were interviewed and the appointment should be rescinded.

Council decided to appoint the Ontario Ombudsman, which for future investigations costs the township nothing.

The investigation in 2015 cost the township $1,081.

MAKE A CLEAN START Make sure you’ve inspected and cleaned your propane or natural gas barbecue. Make sure the burner ports are free of rust or dirt and that the burner orifice is clear of dust and cobwebs, as blockages can be dangerous. Next, check that the hose is in good condition.

A damaged or cracked hose can send out a jet of propane that, if ignited, could result in a flame several feet long. Brush a mixture of 50% soap and 50% water onto all connections and hoses. Rising bubbles indicate a leak. Repair or tighten all connections until there are no bubbles.

PROPANE CYLINDERS Propane cylinders must be inspected and re-qualified or replaced every 10 years in Ontario. Check your tank closely. If it is rusty, damaged or you just aren’t sure if it’s reliable, don’t take unnecessary risks, replace it with a new one. The attendant will not fill an outdated propane cylinder or fill any cylinder beyond 80% of its capacity. Always ensure the cylinder is secured properly when transporting it.

DO… • Remember to always turn the gas valve on first.

• Keep gas hoses away from hot surfaces and hot grease.

• Keep children away from the gas valve and the grill.

• Keep loose clothing away from the hot barbecue.

• When you finish, turn the valve off first to allow the gas in the hose to be burned off, then turn off the burner controls so no gas remains trapped in the hose.

• Allow your barbecue to cool completely before covering it.

DON’T… • Leave the barbecue unattended when in use.

• Allow grease to build up. Clean the grill regularly to minimize the risk of a grease fire Never put water on a grease fire. It will only cause the flames to flare. Close the lid and turn off the fuel source.

• Barbecue in an enclosed space, such as a garage. For ventilation and safety reasons, move your barbecue into the open at least 10 feet away from windows and doors.

• Place your barbecue near wooden fences or walls, or beneath a combustible roof • Store your propane cylinder inside any building

Every year in Ontario, people are injured needlessly while lighting their barbecues. The correct way to light your propane barbecue is to open the lid and strike your match or barbecue lighter before turning on the gas. A message from the THE RENFREW FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Funding for rural students should be closer to the level given urban students, according to People for Education.

The public schools advocacy group recently released its annual report showing that students living in small towns, rural and northern communities are less likely to have music or health and physical education teachers.

They also have less access to psychologists, and are more likely to attend schools that put caps on waiting lists for special education.

The report is based on survey results from 1,154 elementary and secondary schools across Ontario.

“The survey results raise the question: should the quality of a student’s education be determined by where they live?” asks Annie Kidder, executive director of People for Education. “Ontario’s economy and future well-being requires a renewed commitment to those citizens who live outside urban areas. Students should have access to a rich education, whether they live in a rural farming community, a northern mining town, or in the heart of a big city.”

See in-store for details.

Funding to rural regions is less equitable not only in education but in all areas, according to Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski. Some rural schools don’t have a gym while some city schools have swimming pools, he said. But rural culture and tranquil country living make up the difference, he indicated.

Yakabuski said. “There is an inequity and we should bridge the gaps somewhat, but we’re CompareAt CompareAt CompareAt never going to have some things they do in $1299 $929 $929 GRANDOPENINGSPECIAL GRANDOPENINGSPECIAL cities. We don’t have the population or ability GRANDOPENINGSPECIAL to deliver. And I believe we have a better way $977!! $577!! $777!! of life out here.”

The report shows that, because most education funding is allocated according to enrolment, small towns and rural boards “may be” at a disadvantage.

In 2016: • 61 per cent of city elementary schools have a health and physical education teacher, compared to 30 per cent of small town or rural schools; • 52 per cent of city schools have a music teacher, compared to 30 per cent of small town/rural schools; • 60 per cent of elementary city schools have a teacher-librarian, compared to 44 per cent of small town/rural schools; • 94 per cent of city secondary schools have a full-time guidance teacher, compared to 74 per cent of small town/rural schools; and • 62 per cent of city elementary schools have regular access to social workers, compared to 30 per cent of small town/rural schools.

However, there have been improvements in student physical and emotional health over the last 10 years. Across the province, the Liberal government has increased gym teachers from 40 to 48 per cent since 2009; regularly scheduled social worker access has gone 43 to 50 per cent at the elementary level, and 63 to 76 per cent at the secondary level since 2012; access to a regularly scheduled child and youth worker has gone from 33 to 37 per cent at the elementary level and from 51 to 53 per cent at the secondary since 2012.

But the inequities persist, noted a former president of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and member of the Premier’s Community Hub Framework Advisory Group.

“Our northern, small-town and rural communities are a part of the rich fabric that makes up Ontario,” Doug Reycraft said.

“Perhaps it’s time to abandon the current funding formula in favour of a better system that comes closer to providing a fair and equitable level of funding for all students, wherever the live in Ontario. The formula works for cities; it doesn’t for small town and rural Ontario.”

No one was made available for comment from either Renfrew County District School Board or Renfrew County Catholic District School Board.

Walk of Hope Bittersweet Gallery in Burnstown presented jewelry artist Anne-Marie Chagnon’s “An ode to nature, a universe of volcanic gentleness” in support of an upcoming cancer support group walk.

Therapy dog Fun Day Shop-A-Thon in Renfrew on June 26 Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

Bernice Jamieson has a bag of dog treats hidden under her wheelchair for Miley, a therapy dog who visits Groves Park Lodge every week.

When they see each other it’s hard to tell who has the bigger smile. Miley, a German Shepherd/ Airedale/Wolf Hound mix has been a St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog for two years and is one of the reasons local volunteers are gearing up for a fundraiser this Sunday, June 26.

“Miley goes and visits the residents, she brings them comfort and joy,” said Ellen Lucas, her handler, who is the team leader for Eganville/Arnprior/Beachburg and east of Pembroke. “She comes and goes, looks at them and says hi.”

A lot of people at nursing homes are lonely, said Lucas.

“Miley comes in and is their friend,” she said.

A therapy dog helps promote social interaction and provides affection and comfort for people in hospitals, retirement/nursing homes and more.

Lucas also takes Miley to visit

Bernice Jamieson shares a treat with therapy dog Miley at Groves Park Lodge. Right, St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog volunteers Ellen Lucas, Barb Forrest and Kendra Landreau with Grace Thompson (centre) and therapy dog Miley. Lucas has organized a fundraiser to support the program June 26 at the Renfrew Legion. patients on the third floor at the Renfrew Victoria Hospital. She helps a lot of residents who may be living with Alzheimer’s or dementia.

“The more Miley comes around the more they remember the dog,” said Lucas. “That gets these patients to talk about when they were little and may have had a dog out on their farm.”

Shelley Palmer, program facilita-

tor at Groves Park, has seen Miley in action.

“She is a big comfort and really good therapy for them,” said Palmer. “Just to be able to put their hand out to pet her. They are very happy to see her, some sit and wait for her.”

When residents see her they are totally changed, says Palmer.

“It’s in their face; they light up, smile, laugh and talk away with

her,” said Palmer.

The St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog program is a non-profit group and to keep the program running fundraising is required.

Lucas has organized a fundraiser on June 26 to raise awareness of the program and raise funds for the dog’s vests, uniforms for the handlers and other associated costs.

The Therapy Dogs Sunday Fun Day Shop-A-Thon will take place

at the Renfrew Legion at 30 Raglan St. South from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The event will welcome 20 vendors, food, crafts for the kids, draws, a chance to meet some of the local therapy dogs and more.

“In order for the therapy dog program to be a success in the community, funding is required to run the program,” said Lucas. “This day will help with the continued success of the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dogs.”

Lucas is inviting everyone to come out to the event, which is free to get in and see the local dogs.

“It’s a Renfrew County event and everyone is pulling together to support our cause because it is all about the dogs,” said Lucas. “The community has been very generous supporting our silent auction table as well.”

Lucas is thankful for the support of volunteer Barb Forrest who is helping to organize the event.

Forrest has experienced firsthand how Miley can help.

“She has brought me a lot of joy and comfort,” said Forrest. “When I see Miley she brings me that comfort and I thank her for that.”

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, June 23, 2016 7

Opinion

Connected to your community

PCs advance climate debate No one should expect the PC party of Ontario to apologize for decades of championing the wrong side of the climate debate. They goofed and now, when it is possibly too late to do anything meaningful about the situation, they have finally admitted it.

So we should carry on with the new parameters of the discourse. As John Yakabuski put it in a June 16 Renfrew Mercury story, “we are completely on board and recognize this challenge is real.” The story detailed his reaction to the Wynne government’s climate change plan.

Except that we should pause. Opposition to the facts of climate change could spell doom for humanity. It is not to rub deniers’ noses in it – as many on both sides will presume – but to examine the anatomy of a most damaging public policy position.

It is not difficult to see which direction the party is headed over the next few years. It was the same reluctant evolution other parties went through, albeit years ago. They, too, were well behind others. (The oil industry knew of serious climate concerns back in the 1960s when Silent Spring was published.)

Yakabuski, the PC’s energy critic, revealed it himself during the interview for the story ‘Climate plan antidemocratic, bad for economy.’ “If the economy isn’t functioning, nothing else matters,” said the MPP for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke.

That’s upside down, of course.

Without the environment you have nothing. The economy is a wholly owned subsidiary of the environment.

So their next evolutionary step will be the realization that an ever-growing GDP fatally threatens a world of finite resources. Rather than a greedy ravaging of the earth’s wealth, we must quickly move toward a circular economy. The guaranteed minimum income system would be a good start.

However, let’s back up to examine a little more closely the position the PC party has recently abandoned, if only because so many on the right in this country and others continue to back

it.

First off: the name-calling. Saying environmentalists are hypocrites because they live in a capitalist society and drive to work doesn’t change the facts of climate change. Conservatives are not called hypocrites because they use publicly funded hospitals or support wars they refuse to fight in. They espouse an ideal, not the current reality. Environmentalists do the same: they speak the ‘ought’ not the ‘is.’

Then there is the “It’s a cold day outside so global warming is not real.”

That is tantamount to the person who eats a full meal denying hunger in Africa. Anecdotal evidence offers limited proof. Which is why pointing to singular events like the recent wildfires in Alberta as proof of climate change is less than sound.

How about the argument that environmentalists have been wrong in the past? Lots of people have been wrong, including climate change opponents.

On the issue of whether we have crossed the point of no return, unfortunately they may still be right. The world won’t end with a bang, as T.S. Eliot said, but a whimper.

The days get steadily hotter and hotter.

Another charge is that environmentalists are ungrateful for all that oil has given them. Many hope to retain some comforts, hence funding sustainable energy experiments, but if foregoing tropical fruit in January is necessary to preserving life so be it. Stoicism, incidentally, was once a Conservative value.

And, finally, those denying climate change are simply too emotional. They allow anger to cloud their faulty reasoning and rather than accept the fear and dread that comes with accepting climate change, they deny its existence.

They are somewhere between the first and third stages of grief.

Trouble is, we need all humanity on the seventh: acceptance and hope. We need that before it is too late.

If the PC party gets there more quickly without apologizing, that is fine. So long as we now move quickly.

Youth lack connection to natural world To the editor:

Remember the uncertainty of being a teenager. Who am I? Where am I going? What is my value as a person? How do I fit into society? In a word: identity.

Why now in 2016 as opposed to the 1950s?

The present is a world of rapid change; in the past changes were slower. Today people have numerous careers with a plethora of vocations. Not that long ago youth would follow their parents’ footsteps to take over the family business or farm.

Today’s youth exhibit a lack of connection to the natural world. In the ‘50s and ‘60s that close connection provided stability.

Now youth are plugged into electronic communication, which is no connection at all.

In the past, face-to-face com-

munication required the skills of listening and watching facial expression.

Youth now exhibit a lack of passion for activities that cover a lifespan. Frank Sinatra could count on a lifetime singing career. Today pop singers are lucky to have five-to-10 years as a singer. Modern youth identify with non real accomplishments. Girls have a sense of self worth associated with academic grades.

These same girls would have self worth based on the reality of family life, personal skills and motherhood in the past.

Globally, we see a widening gap between the ‘haves’ and the ‘have-nots.’ Youth often see themselves negatively as ‘havenots.’

They then follow one of two paths: Depression, which manifests

itself as obesity and suicide or; Aggression, which leads to social unrest/violence, making youth prime targets for recruitment by criminal or terrorist organizations.

As Barry Commoner’s First Rule of Ecology states: ‘All things are connected.’

So the aggression/depression we see in today’s youth should not come as a surprise. To put it simply, the world we have created is not youth-friendly.

In the past the ‘have-nots’ of the world, including youth, had a strong belief in the ‘American dream’ that with hard work, patience and persistence, their dreams could be realized. Somewhere in the last few decades that dream has been lost.

Its original mandate was to donate the excess funds after expenses to the Victoria Hospital Foundation, which was requested to be earmarked for the purchase of various medical equipment.

For the last number of years, we have also added a donation to Hos-

pice Renfrew, which is in our opinion is a very necessary addition to health care in our community,” says a press release.

“We as a community organization have become known throughout Ontario, Quebec, and many areas beyond as one of the premier bluegrass festivals in Canada and are proud to be able to donate thousands of dollars over the tenure of the festival to much-needed dollars for health care in the Ren-

frew area.”

The committee joins the community in thanking Hospice Renfrew for the vital palliative care service.

Hultink Garden Centre Ltd. grew and grew and now 25 years later it is celebrating its silver anniversary.

Joyce and Rick Hultink have five-and-a-half acres at the corner of Gillan and O’Brien Roads with seven green houses to serve the community.

“When we started this was all vacant land with geese,” said Rick.

“There was nothing on this side of town, we literally built this from the ground up.”

They brought in 1,000 loads of fill to level out the property, which was only one acre when they started.

Rick’s father started growing plants in his home in 1966 and when Rick moved back to the area he took over the landscaping aspect from him.

They are proud of their success and accomplishments in what they say is an ever-changing business.

“It’s gone up and down,” said Rick on the changes. “People associate garden centres with box stores and we are independent.”

“It’s a good thing we grow all of our own stock,” added Joyce.

Tiffany Lepack/Metroland

Joyce and Rick Hultink celebrate their 25th year in business at Hultink Garden Centre Ltd. at 723 Gillan Rd. She says there is a generational shift as well because the baby boomers have more time to garden compared to the X and Y generation.

“There is still an interest, I find they are coming into it,” said Rick.

Hultink’s offers a wide array of products, including vegetables they grow from seedlings, bulk goods, annuals and perennials and more.

To mark the special occasion they will be offering their customers a special sale on June 23 to 25:

25 per cent off on trees, shrubs, perennials and hanging baskets.

“We want to say thank you to the community,” said Rick.

“We have good loyal customers some who travel from Belleville, Ottawa, Pembroke, Quebec to

come here.”

“Without their support we wouldn’t be where we are,” added Joyce.

After 25 years they continue to grow and change. Five years ago they switched to automated irrigation.

“We hand watered for 20 years,” said Joyce. “That’s made our life a lot easier.”

It was one step at a time when it came to expansion.

“We grew it bit by bit,” said Rick. “When the cash flow allowed it, we are not a big corporation.”

The husband and wife pair admits there are some positive and negatives to working together.

“It’s in our blood,” said Joyce.

“I enjoy the customer interaction and the sense of accomplishment.”

Two of their four children have carried on in the gardening industry, although all of them started out helping when they were younger.

Rick says he likes watching it all grow in front of his eyes.

“In the Spring there is nothing here, and in one month everything is growing full on,” said Rick.

“The customer feedback shows we are doing something right.”

#yakstrong That’s the hashtag now associated with a support campaign for Stittsville resident Mark Yakabuski whose life changed in the blink of the eye last month.

Mark, 42, suffered a serious spinal injury in a freak accident while playing golf, being thrown from his golf cart.

Mark is a nephew of RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski.

Family and friends are now rallying behind Mark, raising funds for the Yakabuski family as it goes through this difficult time. The recovery process is expected to be a long one, requiring significant financial commitment to provide the care that Mark will need including possible renovations to his home.

This #yakstrong team has organized a fundraiser to help the Yakabuski family. It will take place on Saturday, June 25 from 7 p.m. to midnight at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville. This fundraiser will include live and silent auctions, alive band, a DJ and lots of treats. Tickets at $50 each which includes both admission and the finger foods can be purchased online at www.yakstrong.com. Tickets can also be obtained by contacting yakstronghq@gmail.com.

Anyone interested in donating an item for auction at this fundraiser should contact Barbara Foster at Barbara.Foster@cma.ca.

Besides supporting this fundraiser, there are a number of other ways to provide support to Mark and his family including the purchase of tshirts, ball caps and rubber bracelets.

The t-shirts are designed with a YAK Strong logo on them. This is a logo with crossed hockey sticks and the wording “YAK Strong” featured, reflecting Mark’s passion for the game of hockey, both as a player and a coach.

The t-shirts, available online, are available in pink, red, white and black for $25 each.

Accessories such as a black and white ball cap ($26) and a rubber #yakstrong bracelet ($5) are also available.

Donations are also being accepted, with various levels of donation established to meet the needs of the donor. The Titanium level is for donations from $400; Platinum level for donations from $300; Gold level for donations from $100; and Silver level for donations from $10.

Mark Yakabuski, a father of three, has been involved with the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association for the past ten years. In the 2015-2016 season, he was coach of the competitive Major Peewee team.

Mark himself played in the Central Junior Hockey League with both Brockville and Kanata and later went on to play with the Ottawa 67’s. He has also played in the Stittsville Town Hockey League of which his brother Matt, also a Stittsville resident, is the current president.

TSA Thrift Shop gives back with donation to Renfrew Refugee Welcome Group Trinity-St Andrew’s Thrift Shop wants to give back to the community, which supports its non-profit service.

Linda Boldt recently presented $660 to the Renfrew Refugee Welcome Group’s finance chairman Peter Raaphorst and finance committee member Jane de Snaijer.

“We chose the Renfrew Syrian refugee fund because it is a very important cause to our community,” said Boldt.

“We hope to see the Syrian family in our shop once they’ve arrived in Canada and settled in Renfrew.”

In addition to providing an additional revenue stream for TrinitySt. Andrew’s United Church, one of the commitments of the thrift shop is to give back in a tangible way by donating 10 per cent of net revenues to local charities.

FIRST EVER DONATION

This is the first such donation as more funds will be donated in each quarter of the year.

The TSA Thrift Shop, located in the basement of Trinity-St Andrew’s United Church at 291

Plaunt St. S., opened its doors in August 2015.

It was opened to provide a welcoming place for the community to purchase clothing, books and small household goods at affordable prices.

Shop hours are Mondays 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Thursdays 3 to 7 p.m., and Saturdays 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (except on holiday weekends).

Donations of goods may be made when the shop is open.

Neighbour thwarts break-in

On Monday, June 13 at 1:50 a.m., Renfrew OPP officers responded to a break and enter in progress on Fortington Street in Renfrew.

The caller reported hearing glass breaking and lights on at a neighbour’s home, when they knew the neighbour was away. Prior to police arrival a male was seen leaving the home walking towards King Street. A broken basement window was located. The homeowner advised nothing appeared to have been stolen. Physical evidence was seized from the scene.

The canine officer attended and tracked the suspect for a time, but was unsuccessful. Provincial Const.

Mark O’Dacre is continuing to investigate.

The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) investigated 267 calls for service during the previous week.

Frauds

Provincial Const. Dave Peace is investigating after a fraudulent cheque was accepted at Stinson’s Gas Bar in Cobden.

On Tuesday, June 14 a customer attended the gas station and purchased gas and other items using a thirdparty cheque.

The cheque was returned to the business as it had been written on a closed account. The officer and store attendant were able to identify the suspect and charges are pending.

Residents called the OPP this week reporting various attempts at frauds, including the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) scam, a death threat extortion attempt, and an inheritance scam. The Competition Bureau of Canada has an excellent website with useful information on different types of scams.

The Little Black Book of Scams is a resource available on their website filled with information Canadians can use to protect themselves against a variety of common scams.

It debunks common myths about scams, provides contact information for reporting a scam to the correct authority, and offers a step-by-step guide for scam victims to reduce their losses and avoid becoming repeat victims. Visit their website at www.competitionbureau. gc.ca. If you have provided personal or financial information to a scammer, or have been defrauded of money please report this to the OPP at 1-888-310-1122.

If you have not provided any information or money to anyone contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 or online at www.antifraudcentre.ca Domestic Violence

OPP officers investigated eight domestic disputes during the past week. One female was charged with assault and failing to comply with a probation order and one male was charged with assault and domestic mischief. No other criminal offences occurred.

Thefts

OPP officers investigated 11 thefts during the past week. Stolen property includes gas, personal property (cell phone, GPS, loose change, gym bag) from unlocked vehicles, and two bikes. Officers are investigating after a report of someone stealing medals. On Saturday, June 18 the complainant called the OPP to report someone known to them removed medals from their home. The suspect claimed they were taking the medals to donate them to the Legion in Renfrew. The medals were never received by the Legion. There is a suspect in the case and Provincial Const. Marc Bennett is continuing to investigate.

Tennis Club smashes into new season old-time ‘Raise the Net’ road show coming to Renfrew Canada Day weekend Barn Dance

Mike McCormick

Racquet from the Courts

Tennis season is definitely here.

Action at the Renfrew Tennis Club has been underway since May but it really hasn’t felt like tennis weather.

The tennis courts are no different than other parts of town, if we didn’t have the weather to complain about, what else would we talk about? Tennis? Bowling?

Trump? All possible.

So in spite of non-ideal weather conditions, the nets are up, the courts are scraped of bugs and bird poop and things are going great.

The singles and doubles leagues are once again full and competition abounds.

There are several new players involved this year so it’s always interesting to see where they will end up on the ladders as the season rolls on.

Renos

Plans are underway for some

renovations as well.

Garry Irving and his courts committee are planning to change the storage situation inside of the courts, which will then allow for greater use of the chalet.

In a perfect world both the chalet and the deck area can be expanded.

Then, the ultimate for all, our own bathroom.

At the Renfrew Tennis Club, we dream big.

Lessons

For younger big dreamers, our summer junior instruction program will soon begin on Tuesday, June 28.

There are three levels of instruction available, the mini program (ages 5-8) from 9 to 10 a.m.; beginner intermediates from 10 to 11 a.m.; and more advanced at 11 a.m.

There is absolutely no cost for the program and registration is not required.

Just show up at the appropriate time dressed for tennis and the

weather.

Most importantly for many of the juniors, popsicles and the splash pad are available after tennis. tournament

Our big promotion upcoming will be on the Canada Day weekend.

Sure this day already has some big events but none like this! Sandi Heins will once again sponsor her tournament on July 1.

This event is always popular and the prizes are always exclusive and thematic.

But this year we’re also sponsoring a great event for anyone who wishes to try out this great sport.

The Ontario Tennis Association is bringing its ‘Raise the Net’ road show to Renfrew on July 1 and 2.

The main feature of this will be the ‘Smash Cage’ where potential Raonic’s can find out how fast their serve is.

For reference, Milos has had a serve clocked at 250 km/hr.

Calabogie rink roof fundraiser The annual Raise the Roof golf tournament at Calabogie Highlands on June 17 raised $55,000 for the fundraising efforts for the ice pad roof in the village. Patricia Hunt won the side-by-side raffle. Above, she receives the news she won from Don O’Neil. Hunt also donated $5,000 to the fundraising efforts. In addition to the golf tournament there was also a live auction, which included sports memorabilia items, vacations and more.

Norma Deshane and Lois Desjardines, both of Renfrew, shuffle every Tuesday at the Champlain Seniors Centre at 164 Argyle St in Renfrew.

This past Tuesday a group of 10 shufflers who winter in Lakeland, Fla., joined the Renfrew Shufflers for the regular Tuesday shuffleboard event.

This is the second year the same group has enjoyed their time with the Renfrew Shufflers and the town itself.

I now draw your attention to the artificial limb of Dorothy.

It slows her down, not one bit; it detracts from her ability as a shuffler, not one bit!

Her attitude and enthusiasm are such that her opponents, as the game progresses, forget completely that Dorothy may be limited in some way with respect to competing.

In fact they quickly learn that she is as worthy an opponent as they have ever played.

Shuffleboard is about placement, co-ordination and having fun, not brute strength, or demonic speed.

Whether or not you have an artificial limb, why not give some thought to joining fellow citizens at the Champlain Seniors Centre, 164

St. Joe wins, again Four years in a row the St. Joesph’s Catholic School Guardians from Arnprior have won the grades 7-8 soccer tournament, held at Ma-Te-Way park in Renfrew. Renfrew Collegiate Intermediate School (RCIS) were among the favourites to bring down St. Joseph Guardians this year in the annual soccer tournament, held June 9. However, RCIS struggled against a competitive Cobden team so missed a shot at the championship game.

Help make a child’s wish come true.

The first-ever summer launch Family Fun Day is happening on June 25 at Calabogie Highlands Resort (981 Barryvale Rd. in Calabogie).

Urban Donlevy, president at Urban Ford and Urban Sport, is on the committee helping to put on the event. He hopes it will help raise funds and awareness for the Eastern Ontario Make-A-Wish Foundation.

“I hope people take half a day for themselves and be part of something that we hope will help kids because kids need to be kids,” said Donlevy.

More than 70 children in Eastern Ontario are in need of a wish and he hopes to raise $30,000, which will help grant three wishes.

There are a number of fun family events planned for the day, including: a beach volleyball tournament, guided ATV or UTV rides with Urban Sport and Yamaha, tour the lake on a wave runner, pontoon boat or a fishing boat or fly in a float plane. Ford is also sponsoring the Drive One for the Community event where people will have the chance to test drive a 2016 or 2017 Ford. The goal is to have 250 test drives and Ford will donate $5,000 to Make-A-Wish. There will also be live local music, food and cold beverages on site.

Special day for dad’s equals a busy weekend at Dragonfly Golf Links

Report From Parliament: Garry Carty scored his first ever hole in one on June 18 at Dragonfly.

Father’s Day weekend is a significant landmark for Dragonfly Golf Links.

Things really get in gear, the kids are out, soon finished school, most cottagers have prepared their seasonal havens for a long and enjoyable summer, the U.S. Open is on television, and local golfers are settled into their mid-season routines.

What does it all mean? It means that Dragonfly was ‘the’ place to be this past weekend.

Tee times were in high demand, and with temperatures in the low thirties; the beverage cart was in equally high demand.

Garry Carty made his Father’s Day round with his son a memorable one with his first ever hole in one!

The historic shot took place on the 18th hole.

Dragonfly is not just a great golf course, a great place to host a party, a large corporate/charity tournament, chill out on the patio, to get married, or to have a date night with your special someone - but it is also a great place to host a group golf outing.

Big thanks to Sean Sargent group (16 golfers), the Reid’s Lake group (22), the Renfrew Tennis Club (16) and the Heath Kelly group (21) for spending the weekend with us.

Paying For The Deficit As tax collection targets of the liberal government, imagine the shock of family campground owners when they received their collection letters, telling them they are no longer considered a “small business” and owed the Trudeau government tens of thousands of dollars in re-assessed taxes. In fact a campground in southwestern Ontario recently received a collection letter stating he owed $250,000 in re-assessed taxes. Another campground received a Notice of Assessment for 2013 and 2014 showing $36,000 more in taxes were due plus $250 per month in interest charges alone!

In addition to raising taxes, the Trudeau budget announced the creation of a new branch at the Canada Revenue Agency, with the hiring of additional tax collectors at a start-up cost of 444 million tax dollars. With a mandate to find an additional 10 billion dollars to squeeze out of Canadians, the budget has already spent the expected ‘new’tax revenues before one cent has been collected, until now.

Campgrounds will be closing.

This move to go after small businesses like family campgrounds is not unexpected. The second campaign promise to be broken after breaking the first by blowing the deficit sky high, was to renege on the promise to lower the small business tax rate. In fact Trudeau demonstrated his contempt for small business by claiming small businesses were nothing more than tax scams. He believes they are set up as a way to avoid paying taxes.

That comment is an insult to the husband and wife team who work 60 to 70 hour weeks to manage a family campground during the short summer camping season. Camping is family time, getting kids off video games and out in nature and the great outdoors.

The last affordable family vacation will now be taken away from Canadians. We are supposed to be more active. What better way to be healthy than spending the day outdoors. Campgrounds are an escape for people who live in urban areas. Not everyone can afford a cottage. These businesses need to be recognized for what they are, small family run businesses. Canada was built on an appreciation for the great outdoors. Stop the over taxing and allow our kids to enjoy themselves in nature!

As your Federal Member of Parliament, I am pleased to represent you on a variety of issues. Whether that issue is promoting agriculture, international trade, Canadian Unity, CNL, the military or jobs in the working forest, I am here to serve you!

Kelly has run a Father’s Day golf weekend for the last 20 years, and we at Dragonfly Golf Links are thrilled to have the opportunity to host his group for the last number of years, and for what we hope will be the next 20.

In league news this week the A Flight Winners on Tuesday were the team from Aikenhead’s Drug Store. This was their third victory in a row.

Keeping in the theme of good health, the Renfrew Victoria Hospital were the winners of B flight.

Dragonfly Golf Links took C Flight, with a team comprised of player assistants (otherwise known as marshalls and starters). They had the lowest net score of the week with 66. Closest-to-the pin winners were Richard Afelskie on #5, and Mike McDonald on #7 Wednesday A flight winners were first-time winners (2016) from Roger Brisco Plumbing, and the team from Deslaurier Custom Cabinets kept their hot play alive winning B flight for the second week in the a row. Closest to the pin winners were Chris McClure on #5, and Jared Riopelle on #7 Ladies Night winners of A flight were the Tee-Time Girls, and the Driving Fours came out on top of B flight.

The Closest to the pin winner was Laurie Stroud. Congrats to all, and happy summer everybody!

Ann Mask joined the team 20 years ago just after the first store opened in Renfrew. The Admaston-Bromley resident will miss the staff and customers but is looking forward to more time spent with her grandchildren. In early June, management surprised Mask with a cake and gift of a clock presented during her last shift. Owner Don Carty, left, and manager Richard Dean join Mask on her special day.

“Gifted” but “uncontrollable” child?

Don’t drug them…heal them!

The world needs them!

More and more, parents find their way into my clinic in a desperate attempt to make their life and their childs life easier. They usually have tried it all from counselling to medication and are at a point where it is no longer an option to just sit and wait for a miracle to happen.Their day to day challenges center around managing their child.The school calls to complain about their misbehaviour. Teachers often don’t know what to do, just as parents are at their width end with their patience. Arguments happen way too often and resentment, hatred and overwhelm become a way of life. Yet deep inside every mom and dad know their child is special…. soooo special! Just how can we turn things around?

Let me tell you a little story: A few month ago both parents brought their young teenager into my clinic. I work with all of them together but also provide confidential individual time if necessary, as the goal is to respect everyone.

Even though the child is going to be treated, mom and dad need to understand the ground work and rules and will be enlightened by my suggestions as it relates to their parenting style. This teenage boy was suffering from anxiety, ADD and ADHD. He is a bright and engaged young teenager, who loves to take control of his life. After the initial assessment I provided some energetic homeopathic remedies. I showed the boy how to take the remedies and he took the first dose right in my office. At the end, I briefly spoke with mom in private, while dad and his son waited in the car.

Next month at the follow-up visit, mom was beaming from ear to ear and dad said: I can’t believe this, but he was another child from the first time he took a drop of your remedies! He immediately calmed down and was patiently waiting in the car for mom to come out, without getting impatient or angry as he usually would.” Mom continued saying:“I even can take him shopping now, without being afraid that I’ll have to run out of the store in embarrassment of him having a panic attack or a tantrum! His conflict resolution is so much easier and we are actually coming to a conclusion.” Then I turned to the boy and he smiled: “I don’t even have my nightmares anymore!”

Healing at it’s purest.No drugs,no side effects! Results can be this immediate! Heilkunst - the different kind of counselling - where everybody counts and not just the one treated. Embrace your family.

QEPS students attend Ottawa Children’s Festival The Ottawa Children’s Festival (OCF) has come and gone, but students at Queen Elizabeth Public school (QEPS) are still talking about their unforgettable experience at the festival. Thanks to the generous donation from Wilson Investments to the Adopt a School Program, all Grade 4/5 students at QEPS were able to attend

the festival for the first time. Students were enraptured by the outstanding performance in The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik, Deep Sea Explorer, and engaged in the interactive Dot Maze.

The day was filled with laughter, excitement and wonder as students explored the festival’s numerous tents and activities.

Transportation to the Ottawa event would not have been possible without the generous donations from Domino’s Pizza, Yemen Electric and Stebro Contracting.

“Thanks to community and school liaison for the OCF Julie Campbell, this wonderful dream became a reality,” says a QEPS press release

COMING EVENTS

(September 17, 1916 – June 16, 2016) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Anne Lavoie of Arnprior on Thursday, June 16, 2016 at the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital, at the age of 99 years. She was predeceased by her loving and devoted husband of 71 years, Leo; her parents Jeremiah and Catherine Kelly; her bothers, Jim, Maurice, Jack and Dan, and sisters Mary and Kay. She was a loving and caring mother and mother-inlaw of Betty Anne (Al Beckmann); Tom (Merle) and Jim (Ilene). Anne cherished her grandchildren: Martin Beckmann (Heidi), Christa (Pete Biro), Kelly, Daniel (Xavier Gurza), Robin (Christopher Skinner) and Joe (Sarah). She doted on her great-grandchildren: Fleurette Wardell (daughter of Kelly) and new arrival Laurelanne, born June 12, 2016, a daughter for Joe and Sarah. Mom enjoyed “drives on the back roads”, sitting on the back patio with Leo, ice cream cones on warm summer days, cards with friends, cruising in their boat on the Ottawa River, and spending time at their cottage on the Mississippi River. She spent her last 11 years living at the Arnprior Villa where she was extremely well treated by devoted and caring staff. For that we, the family, thank you. Thanks also to Dr. Schriver and the nursing staff at the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital for the excellent care and support given to Mom in her last days. The family invited you to join them during visitation at the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior on Sunday afternoon from 2 to 4 p.m. and again on Monday morning from 8:45 to 9:15 a.m.

A Funeral Mass was celebrated in St. John Chrysostom Church, Arnprior on Monday morning, June 20th at 10 o’clock.

It has been 15 years and I miss being your mom so very much, Sometimes, I’ll let myself imagine…

Hoping against hope, daring to dream That I’ll catch a glimpse of you again – alive, vibrant, throwing back your head as you laugh Eyes sparkling, smiling, playful, Loving life, living life, as only you could.

Where are you?

Are you really that quiet voice in my heart?

Are you the gentle warmth of a friend’s embrace?

Are you the shoulder where I rest my head while I cry?

Are you the tears of others’, falling as freely as my own as we talk , laugh and share memories of you?

This need to still be “mom” to you is the driving force within me that keeps me going each day, Stronger than hunger, more intense than pain – this need to protect and care for you even after you’re “gone”…

I sit here and talk to you, Silently, “Heart to heart” Asking you if you still love me, need me, hear me, see me, know me, remember me...

Cutting this flower, snipping that one, gardening “together”, like we used to…

Lighting your candles, so you won’t be afraid of the dark… ... And then, I hear your soft voice, I see your sweet face, In my “hearts eye” I see you smile, And you tell me I’ll always be your mom, That we’ll always be connected - “heart to heart”.

And I become, once again, what I’ve always been, loved being - will always be... ... Katie and Sarah’s mom

Donald Calvin Smith Happy Father’s Day & Birthday Dad R.I.P. The moment that you died, Our hearts split in two, The one side filled with memories, The other died with you.

We often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon our cheeks.

Remembering you is easy, We do it every day, But missing you is a heartache, That never goes away, We hold you tightly within our hearts, And there you will remain, Life has gone on without you, But it never will be the same.

For those who still have their dads, Treat him with tender care, You will never know the emptiness, As when you turn and he is not there.

Love you, Calvin, Susan & Karen

44 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, June 23, 2016

There’s always something to be done in the household, Mary learns Sitting on a straight-back kitchen chair, I wasn’t at all happy. I had made a mistake, and I should have known better.

It was easy to get bored on a Saturday afternoon, and that day was no exception.

All my chores had been done, and neither Joyce nor Velma could come over to play.

And I had dressed and undressed my dolls a dozen times.

Mother was busy at the bake table. The bread had risen enough to be popped into the oven, and piecrusts were waiting to be filled with rhubarb.

My sister Audrey was at the old pedal Singer sewing machine, and there I sat, wondering what I was going to do next, and how I was going to put in the long day ahead of me.

Making me even more agitated was that Mother and Audrey were completely ignoring me and the long sighs. Finally, I could stand it no longer, and that’s when I made my mistake. I said, “I’m bored, and there’s nothing to do.” Without taking her eyes off the piecrusts, Mother said, “Wonderful. We’re getting low on dishcloths. Get the ball of string out of the cupboard, and knit up a dish cloth.”

Well! That wasn’t exactly what I had in mind.

Knitting dishcloths was something I hated with a passion. To me, the job was as boring as sitting with nothing to do.

And besides, I couldn’t knit to save my soul! “Well?” Mother said.

It was more of a command than a question.

I was in charge of all the string that came into the house.

Mary Cook’s Memories Mary Cook

Most everything coming in brown paper bags from Briscoe’s General Store was tied with string.

It was my job to save it, tie it to the last piece on the ball, and put it in the cupboard.

I dragged my feet all the way over to the other side of the kitchen, got the string and the knitting needles, and plopped down heavily in the chair.

Audrey had shown me how to cast on stitches, and I was supposed to count them, so that when finished the dishcloth would be about 18 inches square.

Well, I had no intention of putting on that many stitches!

The dishcloth I would turn out would be about the size of a small hanky!

My sister could knit an entire dishcloth in one evening sitting at the kitchen table.

I would be lucky to get about six rows done, even if I sat there the entire afternoon! After about 10 minutes I was almost asleep in the chair.

This was more boring than having nothing to do! Finally I asked Mother if I could finish the dishcloth later.

Well, Mother wasn’t ‘born yesterday’ and she knew perfectly well, I would never get back to the knitting.

“You know what I think about quitters,” she said, never taking her

eyes off the filled pies.

Audrey looked over at me with sympathy. She knew how I hated knitting, and how bad I was at it.

She was still working the foot pedal of the Singer, making up flour bag pinnys, and putting hems on other bags, which would serve as tea towels.

Then she stopped. She turned on the stool and held up the last pinny she was making.

“Mary would you come over here please? I think this apron is too long for you, and I would like to measure it to be sure.”

She gave me a big wink, and said I better put the knitting aside in case I dropped a few stitches and would have to start over again.

Mother was busy at the oven, and if she noticed Audrey’s request, she showed no sign of it.

For the longest time, my beloved sister, used me as a model.

Every pinny she made, she asked me to put it on for size.

Then she asked me to fold the flour bag tea towels and put them in the back-to-wall cupboard drawer.

She kept me so busy, I knew I could forget about putting one more stitch on the knitting needles.

I learned a lot that day.

I learned that my sister Audrey loved me, and I learned that you never, ever, said to Mother, “I’m bored, and there’s nothing to do.”

Three slams cement pair’s dominance at duplicate bridge Lewis MacDonald

Lady Luck smiled on Sue Phillips and Steve Gray as they brought home three small slams to guarantee a first-place finish for North- South in duplicate bridge action.

Eleven tables competed at Ma-TeWay Activity Centre June 15 in an afternoon that had excitement aplenty. Other North-South pairs with successful sixlevel bids were Carol and Dave Sulpher (6NT and 6 S), Ed McCann and Lew MacDonald (6NT and 6S), Anna McCallum and Gwen Latendresse (6 D), Ernie Berndt and Eric Brown (6D), Mona Brydges and Jeannie Yagminas (6 NT), and Sylvia Zembower and Bev Kobus (6 S).

In the Chalk Talk preceding the afternoon’s play, Wayne Daze reviewed some important fundamentals in bridge.

He styled his topic Getting Maximum Tricks from Your Hand and opened with a principle that should be obvious: count your tricks. From there you determine how many tricks you need and the suit that holds the most promise for developing more.

Wayne finished with a valuable caveat: if you have to finesse, you do it at the end.

Congratulations to the June 15 winners: North-South

ENERGY $AVING$!

Before buying an air conditioning unit or system, find out its energyefficiency ratio (EER).

Calculate the EER by dividing the unit’s cooling capacity (BTUs/hour) by its energy requirement (watts). An EER of 10 or more is very good, and 6 or 7 is fair.

Remember to buy the smallest capacity unit or system that will meet your needs.
