Meters gone but parking laws get sharp teeth Lucy Hass lucy.hass@metroland.com

Renfrew town council has put sharp teeth into enforcement of its parking laws, and offenders will soon feel the bite. Although the next two weeks will focus on warnings and public education, motorists will soon feel the full force of municipal parking enforcement. Infractions, from parking outside designated space markings to fire-lane infractions, will result in fines of $30 and more. In a few weeks, when the town has secured POA (Provincial Offences Act) status, offenders who fail to pay their fines will be subject to an automatic conviction and subsequent inability to renew their driverʼs license. Monday night council also passed a bylaw appointing bylaw enforcement and property standards officers James McBain, Darla McBain, Alison Cosier, Sarah Olmstead-Anderson, Nathan Olmstead-Jahn and others employed by Municipal Law Enforcement Services. The full parking bylaw will be available for viewing on the townʼs website in the near future.

Vehicle crashes claim lives The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police is investigating motor vehicle accidents Sunday and Wednesday. The OPP is investigating after a single-vehicle collision killed a lone occupant Sunday, June 24. The collision caused the closure of Grants Settlement Road in the Township of Whitewater Region for much of the day. Police responded to the collision on Grants Settlement Road near McCoy Road at about 9:25 a.m. A 2001 Pontiac Grand Am was westbound when it left the roadway and struck a hydro pole. The hydro pole broke and fell onto the car. The male driver was deceased at the scene. The driver was identified at Kirby Costello, 31, of Whitewater Region. Officers are investigating, but speed and alcohol are believed to be contributing factors in the collision. Const. Hayley Chaplin is investigat-

ing, with assistance from OPP Technical Traffic Collision Investigators. Highway 17 was closed Wednesday morning following an accident involving a dump truck, car and tractor trailer at the intersection of Highway 17 and Haley Road. Renfrew OPP confirm the female driver of the car died at the scene. Preliminary investigation reveals that a car travelling eastbound was struck in the eastbound lane by the west-bound dump truck. The dump truck attempted to stop for traffic waiting to turn off of the highway but was unable to. It struck the back of a transport and veered into the eastbound lane, striking the car. The male driver of the dump truck was transported to the Renfrew Victoria Hospital where he was treated for minor injuries and released. The driver of the transport truck was not injured.

The Renfrew and Area Chamber of Commerce held its annual night of excellence at the Best Western Renfrew Inn and Conference Centre Thursday evening June 21. More than 200 people showed their appreciation for all nominees, with a special tip of the hat to the winners while many were dressed to honour the theme of the evening – Old Hollywood Party. The community awards recognize businesses and individuals that have demonstrated outstanding customer services, community involvement and other notable achievements. The 2011 Citizen of the Year Award went to a husband-wife team. John and Margaret Wilson made their way to the podium to accept the hardware from Mike Brydges of award sponsor Scotiabank. The Wilsons are active with the Renfrew Rotary Club, Bonnechere Manor Foundation, Renfrew Victoria Hospital, Hospice Renfrew, Seniors Home Support, Alzheimer Society plus a number of other fundraising efforts. They thanked the Chamber nomination committee, and were quick to congratulate Kent Tubman and Suzanne Lachambre on their nominations. “This is not just for one person. Itʼs for everyone involved. Itʼs a definite honour to be nominated,” John Wilson said. “We devote this to our parents,” Margaret added. “We love being a part of Renfrew.” The Outstanding Business of the Year award went to Scottʼs Shoe Store, which won out over fellow nominees Delicious Restaurant and Metro Renfrew. Owner Ian Scott applauded the efforts of the other nominees, and even business people who werenʼt nominated, adding, “Everybody works together in this town.” He thanked his family and his employees. “Itʼs greatly appreciated,” Scott said. The store has been in business since 1895. Dave Lemkay of the Renfrew Industrial Commission made the award presentation to Scott. The 2011 Community Organization of the Year award went to the Admaston-Bromley Grainshare Project which, through its annual harvest, continues to help people suffering from hunger. Other nominees were the Cancer Car Show and Swap Meet for Dad, and Cougars Conquering Cancer. Mark Cassanto, Your Computer Guy, presented the award to David Reid. The Lifetime Business Achievement Award went to Yemen Electric, the recipient over nominees John A. Burnett Ltd. and OʼNeilʼs. Dorothy Yemen appreciated the nomination and award on behalf of her family. “We have 42 yearsʼ experience. Itʼs good to be recognized by your peers and the commu2 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, June 28, 2012

nity,” she said. Tracy Badham and Paul Rowan of TD National Trust presented the award. Three worthy candidates were up for Youth of the Year. St. Josephʼs Catholic High School student Victoria Slight earned the nod over nominees Grace Stewart and Hillary MacMillan. Slight, who received the award from John Wilson of Money Concepts, said she likes being involved in the community. She is instrumental with the schoolʼs newspaper and also pens the high school column for The Mercury. CTV2ʼs Sarah Freemark, of the CTV2 Morning Live was this yearʼs recipient of the Presidentʼs Award. “Sarah is very giving of her time and talents to help enrich and promote her hometown and she has certainly helped put Renfrew and area on the map,” said Chamber member Tammy Logan. Freemark said the support of its people and organizations is what makes a community successful. “This means a lot,” the appreciative award winner added. Itʼs great to be “born and raised in the ʻFrew.” President Rob Campbell presented the Chamber Member of the Year Award to Nishan De Silva. Campbell said the organization is so fortunate to have De Silva aboard, and that he has made his presence felt since moving to Renfrew only a year ago. The recipient was caught totally by surprise. “Iʼm so thrilled. So honoured. Honestly, I never thought ... Itʼs very welcome. “Congratulations to all the other winners from their hard work,” the Best Western general manager added. The final award of the evening, Outstanding Achievement Award, was handed out by president Rob Campbell. Former president Kevin Bossy was honoured with this first-time award for his many years of service. “It has been a pleasure to be the president of the Chamber of Commerce,” Bossy said. “It was great to work with the outstanding people we have on the Chamber.” Renfrew Collegiate principal Alanna Emon spoke of the positive impact she has seen youth make in the community. She noted the efforts of Hillary Afelskie, Keegan Melville and Sabrina Rekowski, who tragically died in an automobile accident in January. Afelskie played a significant role with RCIʼs Relay for Life, Melville with music at the school, and Rekowski with special needs students. Guy Jamieson emceed the awards night, and kept the crowd entertained throughout.

The tax rate for Greater Madawaska Township residents has risen 2.54 per cent. After factoring in drops in the county and education portions of their tax bill, home owners with modest increases in their home assessment value since last year will face an increase tax bill of about $25. For example, if a property had an assessment value of $100,000 in 2011, but increased five percent to $105,000 in 2012, this would result in an overall tax increase of $25.89. If the same property increased 10 per cent, to $110,000 in 2012, it would result in a tax increase of $70.58. In 2012, the township requires $1,853,900 through taxation, which is an increase of $178,435 over the 2011 tax levy of $1,646,941. Greater Madawaskaʼs total tax levy includes 33 per cent for the municipality, or $1,861,700 of the overall total of $5,571.202. This compares to $1,646,941 for the lower tier from a $5,185,236 levy in 2011. For the remainder of this yearʼs tax bill, 40 per cent goes to Renfrew County, for a total of $2,230,535. Education scoops up the other 27 per cent, or $1,478,967 in 2012. The 2011 tax levy for education was $1,415,722. “It was a challenging budget,” said Mayor Peter Emon of the budget passed June 5. Major objectives for this yearʼs budget included maintaining programs and services, optimizing revenue services, paying down unfinanced capital and debentures, and funding new capital projects.

A budgetary challenge for council and staff continues to be the high percentage of residential tax base. Ninety-eight per cent of tax revenue comes from the residential property class; only two per cent from commercial. Other financial challenges identified by council and staff were unfinanced capital projects, infrastructure deficits, and the need to develop new revenue sources. Township expenditures budgeted for 2012 include $524,000 for general government, including $460,000 for municipal office expenses and salaries. Computer hardware and software, and the Griffith senior housing project, account for the remainder. Another $167,870 will be spent on protection services. The biggest portion is $130,000 for Griffithʼs new tanker. Public works expenditures are estimated at $1,379,870, of which the two biggest bills will be $220,000 for a tandem plow truck and $150,600 for Ferguson Lake Road upgrades. Public worksʼ capital projects also include $75,000 for gravel, $140,000 for other road work, and nearly $21,000 for the Calabogie rink slab. Another expense will be $15,000 to purchase a half-ton truck for custodial work. The custodian had been using his own truck. Forty per cent of the townshipʼs $4,667,700 in revenue comes from taxes, 18 per cent in payment in lieu of taxes, 15 from grants, five from other revenues, four in transfers from reserves to capital funding, and one per cent from transfer of reserves to operations for a total revenue of $3,860,700. The final 17 per cent comes from an $807,000 debenture.

Bonnechere Authors Festival starts next week The Bonnechere Authors Festival celebrates its 10th season in July 2012 with a stellar lineup of Canadian writers, all making their first appearance to share their talents for the benefit of local literacy. Opening this yearʼs festivities on July 4 is Nino Ricci, two-time winner of the Governor Generalʼs Award for Fiction (Lives of the Saints, 1992, and The Origin of Species, 2008), and winner of numerous other awards. The Lives of the Saints trilogy, a depiction of Italian immigrant life in the farming community of southern Ontario, was adapted as a miniseries starring Sophia Loren and Kris Kristofferson. Ricciʼs most recent book is a biography of Pierre Trudeau for Penguinʼs

Extraordinary Canadians series. For his outstanding contributions to Canadian literature, Ricci was recently recognized with the Order of Canada and, on June 14, 2012, received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the University of Windsor. The Bonnechere Authors Festival is a fundraiser for Literacy Plus, a non-profit agency based in Eganville that helps adults upgrade their skills. Tickets are $15 per event, or $50 for the series of four, available at the door. Events start with dessert and coffee at 7:30 p.m., at St. James Church Hall, 78 Wellington Street, Eganville. The hall is air-conditioned and has handicapped access.

Deslaurier Custom Cabinets celebrates community support Lucy Hass lucy.hass@metroland.com

The success story that is Deslaurier Custom Cabinets is a compelling one – a tale of optimism, purpose and perseverance. But if you ask company director of business development Jim Deslaurier and president Denis Staples, itʼs also about far more. Itʼs also a story of community spirit and support. The company bounced back after fire destroyed its manufacturing facility on New Yearʼs Day 2009, which earned the Renfrew business

a spot in the Canadian non-fiction bestseller That’ll Never Work – Business Lessons from Successful Canadian Entrepreneurs. Sponsored by KPMG Enterprises, the book shares the stories of 19 Canadian entrepreneurs. Positive action, innovation and perseverance are hallmarks of the stories. At a casual open house at the companyʼs new Hall Avenue home last week, a long list of supporters was thanked and given a complimentary copy of the book. Past and present municipal coun-

cils, the Renfrew Industrial Commission, local businessman Doug Forgie who helped out with a forklift, staff and citizens were all recognized for their support on the night of the fire and beyond. Special recognition was reserved for the Renfrew and Arnprior fire departments and crews who, according to Deslaurier and Staples, arenʼt thanked nearly enough. “It wasnʼt just putting the fire out,” Deslaurier said, it was the support before and after the event through the services provided to the business

on a regular basis. During a brief address at the open house, Deslaurier noted how the company found a way to move forward into the future despite the tragic fire, thanks to support from so many. “The whole ordeal has been pretty much amazing, to say the least,” he said. “It was an amazing display of what a community can do,” was how he described the night of the fire. Guests at the open house were also offered tours of the manufacturing facility.

“I think this is a great news story for us,” Staples added. He thanked former mayor Sandi Heins and Renfrew Industrial Commission chair Mack Wilson and general manager Norm Anderson who acted swiftly to find a new home for the fire-stricken employer. Staples said the company had the keys for its new location the day after the fire, and that support was “the foundation to our rebuilding.” He also thanked current mayor Bill Ringrose and council for their ongoing support.

Caldwell, the Renfrew parks and recreation department program coordinator, says OPG is providing $750 to help with Renfrew’s program, which runs from 2:45 p.m. into the evening at Ma-Te-Way Park. “We are promoting Canada Day as a family event this year,” said Caldwell. “The donation from OPG helps provide events for young children and their parents.” Events will include Little Ray’s Reptiles, giant inflatables, horse and wagon rides, and Steve Anthony’s magic show. Gardiner said OPG is supporting Canada Day programs in Renfrew, Horton and Greater Madawaska as a way to celebrate Canada’s birthday with its stakeholders. She will be promoting water safety at Horton’s and Renfrew’s Canada Days.

The shores of the Ottawa River near Braeside were once again bustling with activity as steam whistles blew and Voyageur canoes glided into shore. Organizers of the McNab Days leadoff events the Riverdrive and Tartan Run and Sunday Stretch couldnĘźt have asked for better weather for the event, which went off without a hitch June 23-24. Early estimates indicate about 400 people attended SaturdayĘźs Riverdrive and otilla event at Red Pine Bay. FridayĘźs Calling of the Clans kicked off McNab Days and was well attended with around 100 people in attendance. The township festival festivities carry on this week with several events and this weekend with Canada Day festivities in Braeside. With a Vintage Wings Havelin Beaver oat plane docked ashore and a slew of vessels old and new arriving from QuebecĘźs Norway Bay as part of the Baie to Bay otilla, the park came alive with many activities for the locals and visitors out to enjoy the day Saturday. The W.D. Stalker, the last known alligator boat or amphibious warping tug, was in attendance once again this year, along with a vintage scow used to house loggers more than 100 years ago in the logging boom that led to the settlement of the Ottawa Valley. Dignitaries McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell, Pontiac Mayor Brent Orr, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski and Renfrew County Warden Bob Sweet joined committee cochairs Heather Lang and Neil Masson at opening ceremonies Saturday. Yakabuski congratulated organizers and said the event was a great tribute to those who worked so hard years ago in the industry and to those who still make a living in the areaĘźs forests. Sweet said the event is a wonderful example of how the river doesnĘźt separate Ontario and Quebec, but joins the two provinces. “ItĘźs great to see

ing community, but the location is totally unsuitable. “The potential liability and possible environmental issues involved with the importing and treatment of biosolids by far overshadows any ďŹ nancial gain.â€? But the biggest mistake would be to bring much heavier trafďŹ c volume to the area, with the sewage-transportation trucks, Kaufman later told The Mercury. Kaufman and Horvath went door-to-door in early June with their petition. Only two families chose not to sign the petition, said Kaufman. At present, Kaufman says parking is permitted on both sides of Mutual Avenue, to accommodate locals, tourists and visitors to the swinging bridge, and the parks on both sides of the river, including the toboggan hill on Mutual. “My biggest concern is bringing this stuff through town. I just see a never-ending issue, from a smaller number of trucks, to a large number of trucks, to larger trucks.â€? Kaufman admitted heĘźs not really too concerned about transportation of the product. “I have no question they can do their job well and they can handle the product well,â€? he explained. “I just donĘźt see any need for bringing it through our gorgeous town.â€? Asselin, who told council the project could be worthwhile environmentally and ďŹ nancially, readily admitted the town needs more details to assess the projectĘźs risks and beneďŹ ts. “I think the Ministry (of the Environment) is looking for projects like this. It would be the ďŹ rst one (of its kind),â€? he told council. Asselin told The Mercury, “We know the region and the surrounding area has a need, and we have a treatment plant that has the ability to treat sewage. So is there a ďŹ t?â€? The equipment is in place,

but Thompson said retroďŹ ts, to be covered by himself and his partners, would cost an estimated $200,000 to $300,000. “The province is looking to get rid of untreated septage ‌ but they donĘźt have a whole lot of answers and we feel this may be an answer,â€? said Thompson. “The facility (in Renfrew) was used to basically treat sewage, so thereĘźs quite a lot of infrastructure in place.â€? ThompsonĘźs own company has been hauling septage for 32 years. Before council, Asselin summarized the situation this way: “Is it RenfrewĘźs problem to solve? No. “Does it (the project) see urban facilities as part of the solution? Yes, because we have the facilities? “Is there an obligation for us to participate? No. “Are there beneďŹ ts to others (other than Renfrew)? Yes, probably. If itĘźs not done here, it will be done somewhere else.â€?

Renfrew could be the home of a unique septage-treatment plant in the next few years, or the proposal may never see the light of day. Business partners George Thompson of Thompson Septic Tank Pumping Inc. in Horton Township and Randy Todd of Carleton Pumping visited council June 11 to speak about their proposal, which would depend on using the townĘźs old wastewater treatment plant on Mutual Avenue. With RenfrewĘźs new wastewater treatment plant opened a couple of years ago, the old plant is now only used as a backup, to collect excess waste water during heavy storm situations. One of the old plantĘźs two equalization tanks might collect 30 or 40 cubic metres of storm water, compared to its total one-tank capacity of 500 cubic metres, says Renfrew development and works director Mike Asselin. During the June 11 council meeting, Asselin and council members discussed the pros and cons of the project in very general terms before asking the project leaders to return with more information. They are now speaking with the Ministry of the Environment about the needs and approval process for such a project, said Thompson two weeks later. “ThereĘźs a lot of questions (to answer),â€? said Coun. Tom Anderson. “I think it warrants going at least one more step.â€? This could be one of those rare projects that makes some money for the municipality, said Anderson. Upon being informed that 60 local residents have signed a petition opposing the project, Reeve Audrey Green said, “ItĘźs out of control before weĘźve had a chance to talk about it.â€? “ItĘźs not our problem. LetĘźs

ďŹ nish it,â€? said Coun. Andrew Evans. Mayor Bill Ringrose said the project has revenue possibilities but obviously warranted future discussion. “We need to be convinced itĘźs to the beneďŹ t of the town Renfrew; otherwise, no.â€? A few years ago the provincial government threatened to squash property development unless municipalities found solutions to treating their septic-tank contents, otherwise known as septage. But that legislation hasnĘźt been ďŹ nalized, as few municipalities are in position to treat their own septage. Exceptions would be nearby Bonnechere ValleyĘźs geo-tubes systems and HortonĘźs lime stabilization process. Each of these results in eventual spreading of treated septage on agricultural ďŹ elds. However, large quantities of septage still require treatment, leaving Thompson and Todd to believe RenfrewĘźs old waste-water treatment plant could be a huge solution for several local municipalities. Other people, such as Renfrew Coun. Evans and residents Jeff Kaufman and Jolan Horvath, are vehemently opposed to the project. Evans said he “loves the idea of waste diversion,â€? but added, “If it doesnĘźt come from Renfrew, it doesnĘźt belong in Renfrew.â€? Evans and other councillors donĘźt want the project to result in a liability if he town is unable, through any new septage treatment operation, to meet noise and odour requirements. “With all the other land issues we have, IĘźm not in favour of it,â€? said Coun. Jim Miller. Kaufman, who attended the June 11 meeting, told The Mercury: “IĘźm all in favour of the town making a buck, or even helping out a neighbour-

Horton’s taxes in arrears keep dropping Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Horton TownshipĘźs taxes in arrears continue to fall. “TheyĘźre still coming down and headed in the right direction,â€? said Coun. Bob Kingsbury during the June 5 meeting of Horton council. Finance manager Jennifer Barr agreed, while cautioning that the townshipĘźs taxes in arrears

are expected to plateau around six per cent of the previous yearĘźs total tax levy. Taxes in arrears now sit at $235,974.54, or 6.61 per cent of the 2011 levy. That May 31 ďŹ gure is down from $270,114.78 on April 30, 2012. Back in January 2012, HortonĘźs taxes in arrears had dropped to $379,691, or more than $100,000 below its January 2011 total of $484,375.

Horton infrastructure manager Jeff Schruder says he welcomes information about ongoing damage to local road signs. Some of the recent damage occurred at the intersection of Lochwinnoch Road and Early Road. Checkered signs alerting drivers to the 90-degree turn were damaged last winter. Then, in May, new stop signs were erected at the west and east sides of Lochwinnoch where, until late last year, the only stop sign was on Early Road. Within a day of the newest two stop signs being erected, their sign posts were bent and knocked over, apparently by a vehicle. “I donĘźt know what to say,â€? said Coun. Glen Campbell, who chairs HortonĘźs public works committee. “WeĘźre trying to do the right thing, by making the road safer, but again itĘźs a case of tomfoolery, or people that donĘźt want those signs, who are putting people at risk.â€? The stop signs were erected, and re-erected, by McNabBraeside Township, since the intersection is just outside Horton Township. McNab-Braeside roads superintendent Brian Box says he welcomes assistance from the public about the damage, or about the recent theft of several road name signs.

No injuries when concrete slab falls from garage roof Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

In his capacity as Horton TownshipĘźs safety ofďŹ cer, Coun. Bob Kingsbury is concerned he wasnĘźt informed for several days about a heavy cement block that fell from the municipal garage roof. But most council members are mostly thankful Horton escaped with no injuries from the Monday, May 7 mishap. A one-inch thick slab of

concrete ďŹ ller panel, which was also three feet long and two feet wide, fell into one of the bays at the Horton garage. The section, which weighed an estimated 200 pounds, fell about 12 feet to the oor without hitting or damaging anyone. The panel was previously held in place by caulking. Upon repair, the concrete slab was returned to its original location using L brackets, said chief administrative ofďŹ cer

Mackie McLaren. “I didnĘźt know about it until several days after, and I didnĘźt get the report on it in my mail box until last week,â€? said Kingsbury during the June 5 meeting of Horton council. “Somebody there could have been killed quite easily,â€? he added. “With issues of this seriousness, we have to jump on them faster than how we jumped on this one.â€? McLaren apologized that

Kingsbury was not informed sooner. He also said he notiďŹ ed the engineer of the facility, within an hour of being told about the incident, to ďŹ nd out what kind of repairs should be pursued. The repairs were completed May 9.

OPINION EDITORIAL

Teachers’ common sense revival The teachers are mad as hell, and theyʼre not going to take it any more. Well, maybe not quite. But there is heartening news to see that common sense still prevails amongst many teachers, and theyʼre starting to move beyond the silent majority and actually become more vocal. The best example is physics teacher Lynden Dorval, who teaches at Ross Sheppard High School in Edmonton, who gave students zeroes for not handing in assignments. Itʼs not as though he didnʼt give them warning. His standard practice is to show students, who are tardy in handing in their work, a printout of what their final mark would look like at the end of the year – zero. “Once I give that printout, I get a flood of assignments,” he was quoted as saying in the Ottawa Citizen. But, last month, Dorval got a letter from Edmonton Public Schools, informing him that he “chose this very public and destructive course of action,” and that he was being suspended for his actions. This type of “too-big-to-fail” attitude is exactly what made the financial crisis of 2008 even worse. Itʼs not a helpful attitude to instill in our children. Our children need to know that there are consequences, real, tangible ones, that can affect their future. Better that they get a bit of a small jolt now in school, while the stakes are comparatively smaller, and the behaviour can be corrected as their brains are developing, than later on in life, when they wonder why security is leading them out the door at the office after theyʼve cleaned out their desk following a trip from the bossʼs office. Telling kids they can keep failing, with no regard for consequences, is the real “destructive course of action.” Proponents say it helps kids get through the school system, but really, itʼs just passing the buck, passing them along, and letting them

sink or swim once they get to college or university or the work world. Thatʼs doing the kids no favours. “Itʼs a way of pushing kids through and making the stats look good, but at what cost?” wondered Dorval. “Itʼs not benefitting the students.” Another teacher who is not afraid to tell it like it is, is English teacher David McCullough, son of the Pulitzer Prize winning historian and writer of the same name, who told the graduating class at his private high school in Wellelsey, Massachusetts, that “youʼre not special.” Anyone who has ever had to sit through recitations of the typical pabulum regurgitated at a graduation in a hot, stuffy auditorium would likely have cheered at his words. Stephanie Hanes, writing in The Christian Science Monitor, wrote that he have gave “graduates a dose of reality.” “Do not get the idea youʼre anything special,” said McCullough. “Because youʼre not.” (Not for him a monotone recitation of Dr. Seussʼ Oh The Places You’ll Go.) McCullough later told CBS News that “my intention was a little hyperbolic drollness to get their attention so they would pay attention,” he said. Itʼs always a difficult task to keep a crowdʼs attention. He wanted them to wait for the pay off at the end – an example of delayed gratification for a greater purpose – and in closing, asked the graduates to “exercise free will and creative and independent thoughts, not for the satisfactions they will bring you, but for the good they will do others, the rest of the 6.8 billion – and those who will follow them… The sweetest joys of life, then, come only with the recognition that youʼre not special. Because everyone is.” Now, we donʼt want it to seem like we are beating up solely on administrative staff. Even they have members with common sense amongst their ranks. One teacher who was sorely lacking in com-

mon sense was a Grade 10 history teacher at Cavelier-de-LaSalle high school in Montreal who showed his students a tape of the alleged murder and dismemberment of Chinese student Jun Lin. The teacher was suspended, and school board spokesman Jean-Michel Nahas told the QMI Agency that “the school board and the school unanimously denounce this action.” It may be an extreme example, but it is heartening to see that, for once, this was a no-brainer. No exclamations of his right to free speech or expression, with his teachersʼ union rushing to his defence. No academic, condescending

sniff that he was only trying to teach kids to critically deconstruct images and media, and critical thinking skills. At least we can be glad that he didnʼt fight it. The kids in his class are scarred for life now, but at least he will be removed from the classroom where he can do no harm, and a sad lesson has been learned here: You did wrong. You admit as such. You will be punished. Itʼs a simple, straightforward lesson for our children, taught by way of example.

COLUMN

Olympic dreams, with their deep roots in Renfrew County Who says Renfrew County athletes canʼt compete in the Olympics? Whitewater kayaker Sarah Boudens of Round Lake Centre did it in 2008, and now Melissa Bishop of Eganville is looking to book a ticket to the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. About a year ago, Bishop had a conversation with her coach, Dennis Fairall of Windsor, Ont., about how she wanted to qualify for the 2012 Olympics. Fairall was thinking her prospects were more realistic for 2016, but how things have changed. One of the biggest changes in the past year, says Fairall, was Bishopʼs focus and new level of determination, which resulted in a leaner body as well as better training and race results. And now, she and Jessica Smith of North Vancouver are in the driverʼs seat entering this weekʼs Canadian Olympic track and field trials in Calgary. Bishop, 23, and Smith, 22, have both eclipsed Athletics Canadaʼs Olympic A standard of 1:59:90, as the third and fourth women to respectively break the coveted two-minute barrier. Bishop and Smith can each clinch an Olympic berth by placing in the top three in Saturdayʼs final. But it could be a four-women race

STEVE NEWMAN STEVE’S SIXTH SENSE to the finish line of the womenʼs 800-metre final. The heats are Thursday, June 28. Two other runners have just run their fastest times of the season, June 10, leaving them in position to qualify for the team that can take up to three women in the two-lap footrace. If they crack the top three while running the A standard, each will be on their way to London. The ʻotherʼ rivals are Eritrea native Lemlem Ogbasillasie of Montreal and South African native Diane Cummins of Victoria who recently beat Athletics Canadaʼs B standard of 2:01.30 to show that they remain in the running. Cummins has already been to the Olympics, as a semi-finalist in 2004, three years after setting the national record of 1:58.39 that still stands. Ogbasillasie represented Canada at the 2011 world championships in Korea, and just last week improved her personal best time to 2:00.82. Cummins, who ran a similar time of 2:01.11, appears to be fourth best in a stellar Canadian field after more than a decade of international credentials.

Her international portfolio includes fifth at the 2001 world championships, sixth at the 2003 worlds and Commonwealth Games silver and bronze medals. But the 10-time Canadian champion, at 38, is not ready to let another Olympic opportunity pass her by. Meanwhile, Bishop and Smith lead the Canadian rankings this season, with respective times of 1:59.82 and 1:59.86. But those times mean absolutely nothing, as far as Olympic qualification, if they donʼt crack the top three in Saturdayʼs Olympic trials race. If Bishop, Smith, Ogbasillasie and the oldest of the four, Cummins, are all fighting down the homestretch, coach Fairall says heʼd pick the three youngest. “I hope itʼs a fast race,” says Fairall. “I hope itʼs (closer to) 2:02 or 2:03, and I think it will be because Lemlem and Diane donʼt have the A standard.” Bishop hasnʼt been to the worlds or Olympics, yet. But sheʼd like to start expanding on her own international portfolio after strong showings in a Puerto Rico Grand Prix meet and stronger results at international meets in Eugene, Vancouver and Victoria. Thereʼs another reason, for me, to cheer her

down the homestretch Saturday. I had the privilege of being her first track and field coach about 10 years ago. Her parents, Doug and Alison, approached me after learning I had been a certified middle- and long-distance coach for several years. With my assistance, their daughter excelled at regional events in sprints and horizontal jumps, but I chuckle about the day we were running a workout on Opeongo High Schoolʼs cinder track. I told her I was having difficulty setting the pace, when she looked at me doubtfully and said, “Youʼre kidding.” I wasnʼt, as she went on to make herself, family and friends proud. Soon after, she joined the Ottawa Lions, and advanced her skills and conditioning. She also went to the University of Windsor where she flourished under coach Fairall. But the missionʼs hardly over. The bubble could burst, with an ordinary race in the trials. Or she could be on her way to London with a top-three finish. So, hereʼs my wish, to you, young lady. “Go, Melissa, go. Run strong, run smart. Run like an Olympian.” Athletics Canada will announce its nominations for the 2012 Summer Olympic team on Canada Day.

For those of you who read this column on a regular basis, I promised to explain Plein Air. In the art world, we do use words like vernissage, which is a French term that denotes the showing of ďŹ nished works of art. Artists would ask friends to join them for the ďŹ nal varnishing of their work and drink wine. What a wonderful way to see new works of art even though it might be through the bottom of a wine glass. Joking aside, terms like these do pepper the English language in the art world. Plein Air, if you were to do a literal translation, would be fresh air. In some ways it does explain exactly what it is. Painting out side in the fresh air. Those who paint Plein Air are dedicated artists who are willing to take on the weather, bugs and whatever nature throws at them. To paint outside you need to choose your materials carefully. If it is raining, painting in watercolours might not be a good idea. It is OK to have a uid painting but rain can certainly give a painting something you do not want. If it is windy, best have something that is secure. Many a painter has chased his/her canvas or paper across a ďŹ eld or highway. Folding cases that become easels, containers for water and easy carrying bags are the order of the day. Bugs, well, thatĘźs another ball of wax that you have to deal with. Most avid Plein Air painters can give you advice on the best bug repellent on the market. So, as you can see, these are resilient artists who are dedicated to their craft. CanadaĘźs Group of Seven represents some of the best Plein Air painters in the world.

Renfrew farmers’ market testing new fairgrounds site John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

Renfrew Farmers Market chairwoman Agnes Walker, left, with Karen McLeod of Kilt Rock Greenhouses of Springtown at the market’s new location at the Renfrew Fairgrounds. The Saturday morning market is testing the new location after being in the downtown for 40 years. The market is open every Saturday and Sunday.

After a slow start, attendance at the new location of the Renfrew Farmers Market is picking up as the variety of available produce grows. Not all vendors, or customers, are sold on the marketĘźs move from the downtown to the Renfrew Fairgrounds after 40 years, so this year will be a test of the new site. The decision was made on a close 8-6 vote (at least eight vendors didnĘźt vote) and took effect June 2. Market chairwoman Agnes Walker said the fairgrounds location gives vendors more space to set up their booths and customers more room to move. It also allows for easier parking, she added.

However, Walker, who sells pies at the market, agrees some vendors are “skepticalâ€? about the move. The vendors will try out the new site this year and decide at the end of the season whether the change was a success, she said. “WeĘźre welcoming all feedback.â€? She admits the Renfrew Downtown Business Association was disappointed by the decision. “WeĘźre very grateful for their support over the years,â€? she said. However, the market was getting “very crowdedâ€? next to town hall downtown, she said, noting four new vendors this year brings the total to 26. Walker said that in the two Saturdays since the move, vendors have seen some new customers. The market has increased signage and is promoting itself and the move on its new website http:// renfrewfarmersmarket.wordpress.com, she added. Karen McLeod of Kilt Rock Greenhouses, who sells fresh cut bouquets at the market, is taking a wait-and-see attitude. “I wanted to stay put (downtown),â€? she said. “IĘźm worried some of my customers wonĘźt ďŹ nd me.â€? She said her business had tripled since she took over the ower stall in the market on Railway Avenue. “The down-

town was very good to me ‌ I just hope it continues here.â€? NatureĘźs Pride Honey vendor Bob Bouchard said he will miss the social aspect of being downtown with many shoppers dropping by to chat. Cameron McGregor of the McGregorĘźs Produce booth said he is optimistic the move will pay off with the extra room and parking. It helps attract customers earlier when for the second time in three years, McGregorĘźs is selling freshpicked strawberries as well as asparagus in early June, he noted. This yearĘźs strawberry pick began May 28, which was the earliest ever, he said. Other vendors on hand for the ďŹ rst market at the fairgrounds June 2 were Teske Spin Farms with plants, rhubarb and lettuce; Ruth Proulx with cinnamon buns; and Fletchington Farms with pork. On June 9, BethĘźs Kitchen, Clay Flats Heritage Farm, Greystone Ridge Farms (Karen Zwaan), Mary Ann Wall, Valerie Chamberlain and Tammy Hoffman, and Claire Fortin and Cheryl Thompson added to the vendors at the market. The farmers market is open from about 8 a.m. to noon each Saturday through to the Thanksgiving weekend.

Grand opening at Bateau Royal Photos by John Carter

Flea market fever

Most of the vendors get together in the MayMay’s Tea area for a grand opening celebration photograph at the Renfrew Flea Market. The new flea market at 220 Carswell St. in the old Renfrew Wholesale building held official opening festivities June 2, with music by Matthew Beachamp, readings by Madam Devina and a barbecue. The vendors also collected donations for the Renfrew food bank. Taking in the excitement, in front from left, are young Katie O’Rourke, Emily Bachenski and Ethan Lafont. Behind them are Georgina and Barbara Robert (cakes and other bakery items), Madam Devina, Roxanne Illingworth (Double B crafts), flea market owner Bonnie Keefe (collectibles), and May Proulx (teas and spices); and in back are Miaja Jorgensen (collectibles), Doug Stickwood (barbecue), Ann O’Rourke (Boys are Us), Sherry Lacourse and ‘Gambit’ (pet items), and Jim Boyd (antiques). Missing are vendors Diane Beckwith (stained glass), Maddie Lambert (clothing), Christian Fenton (knitting), Marilyn Jordan (sculpture) and co-owner James Keefe.

The Bateau Royal packed the house with princesses, pirates and lively well-wishers at a successful grand opening. “I am overwhelmed by the community support that we have received since we opened last month,� said owner Bob Tovee. “It is a joy to see so many people here enjoying the ambiance, the great food and the entertainment.� Portage du Fort Mayor

Lynne Cameron was out to support the restaurant and helped to judge the costumes for the best pirate and princess costume. Winners won family passes to Calypso water park. Patrons enjoyed a boat trivia contest and Adrienne Taylor ďŹ lled the place with song. The Bateau Royal was ofďŹ cially launched at 8 p.m. as Cameron and Tovee smashed a bottle of champagne on the side of the building.

NATURE

Mercury photo by Lucy Hass

The distinctive Swallowtail butterfly.

Attractive butterflies like lilacs Jim Ferguson

Nature Notes

Six species of swallowtail butterflies have been seen in Ontario: pipeline swallowtail, zebra swallowtail, black swallowtail, giant swallowtail, Eastern swallowtail and spicebush swallowtail. They all have varying amounts of yellow, black and white with spots and bars of blue, orange, yellow, black and white.

They are among the largest of our native butterflies and are very active during May, June and July, especially in areas where there are bright-coloured flowers. Lilacs are a favourite with many. Look for these attractive butterflies when the air is clear and the sun is warm. They get their name from an extension of the hind wing into a very visible ʻtail.ʼ

Great-crested flycatchers find a home

THEY WILL FOOL YOU

NO HUMMERS

during the long flight to and from Mexico. Until new birds find the Thivierge feeders they could remain unused. When the young are born and the females begin to move further afield in search of food they will find the feeders and begin to defend them against all comers. Dawn will keep us informed when the hummers return. BLUE BIRDS

Eve and Barry Yantha sent us a note to say that three pairs of bluebirds are nesting in their front yard. The birds all have young and are searching the Yanthaʼs lawn and trees for insects to feed their off-spring. With such an early start this year it is very possible that bluebirds will have as many as four broods. In 1992, 94, 98, 99 the birds did not get an early start and one or two broods were the norm, some failed altogether. In 2001, 02, 04 and 10 the birds got an early start and three broods were common. NUISANCE BIRDS

Ring-billed gulls have increased dramatically in numbers in the past 10 years to the point where they have become nuisance birds. They have found an ample food supply at landfill sites and fast food outlets which gives them a stable food source. It is to the detriment of our native field birds that some people are feeding the gulls corn and food scraps in areas where they destroy nesting bird populations. The increase in numbers of ring-billed gulls has led to major reductions of some of our native species. Common terns and herring gulls are now a rarity because their nest sites, especially at the mouth of the Bonnechere River, have been taken over by the ring-billed gulls. Open country birds such as killdeer, bobolinks, meadowlarks, field sparrows and upland sandpipers are also suffering because the gulls catch and consume their young. Please do not intentionally feed ring-billed gulls. Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, R R 5, Renfrew, Ontario K7V 3Z8 phone 613-432-2738 or email; jamesh@ nrtco.net

Dawn Thivierge has been putting out sugar water for the hummingbirds since early May but the birds are not coming to feed as they have for several years. Hummingbirds fall victim to all sorts of mishaps from getting tangled in spider webs to getting stuck on thistles. A few have even flown into and become caught in screen doors. In Dawnʼs situation the birds that came to her feeders other years could have met misfortune

SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE

Doug Cram was involved in a dilemma that began as a ruby-throated hummingbird sighting but it turned into a hummingbird moth sighting. He said that the loud humming and active flight caught his attention. It was too small to be a hummingbird and too big to be a bee. To solve the problem he went on the internet to find a name for what he saw. Thank you for the information, Doug. Hummingbird moths belong to the sphinx moth family. They are day fliers and hover over plants to drink nectar through a long proboscis (tongue). They have large, transparent (unscaled) areas of both front and hind wings. The hummingbird is the largest, followed by the slender and snowberry clearwings. They will be active for the next few months. Watch and listen for them and then tell us if you see them gathering nectar in your flower beds.

JIM FERGUSON

A few weeks ago at our cottage on Constant Lake we noticed a bird that happened to be building a nest in one of our bird boxes. The first weekend we were not able to get a good photo or make a positive identification of the birds. This past weekend we had better luck in both departments. We were able to get some good photos and were also able to find the species in our bird guide. It was a great-crested flycatcher. We have never seen this species before. Is it a common one in our area or are we just lucky to have one at our place? Ken and Flo Lalonde Ken and Flo, thank you for your email. The great-crested flycatcher is considered to be an uncommon species and is more often heard than seen. It is possible that they have been in your area without your knowledge. Their loud, whistled wheeep song from a well-hidden perch announces their presence. You are fortunate to have a mated pair nest in one of your bird boxes. Listen for their song; it is the only one like it in the woods.

Simon Hildebrandt, 2, eagerly follows his minnow to the finish line. His fascinated companions, during the Central Public School Fun Fair, are sister Madeline Hildebrandt and Grade 1 student Teeghan Anderson.

Get bitten by the Juggle Bugs The countdown is on for the Renfrew Business Improvement Area (BIA) Festival of the Family. The downtown party will be held Saturday, July 28 with events throughout the day. Among the buskers will be the amazing juggling act, The Juggle Bugs – Jordan and Paul. A family friend gave Jordan a unicycle for his birthday and he learned it well at a very young age. A few years later, in 2007, Jordan won seven medals at the national Unicycle Convention and Championships. According to their website, Paul, the showman of the group, has been working with his father, a busy professional entertainer who has been performing in the Ottawa area for more than 20 years. Crowds love the Juggle Bugs, the website says. “At the Ottawa Busker festival in 2009, the duo did their first shows, and had standingroom-only crowds.” Another special attraction, caricaturist John Cullen of

Fort Colounge, will also be at the Festival of Family to share his art with festival-goers. SHARON AND BRAM

Tickets for the hour-long Sharon and Bram Show are $15 and are available at The Flower Factory, A Sense of Country, Kids Corp and Scottʼs Shoe Store. Other attractions at the festival will include the Radical Mad Science Show, Kids Corp Zone, Sharon and Bram Show, Yaki balloon animals, face painting, sidewalk chalks, cotton candy and old-fashioned lemonade courtesy of the Renfrew and Area Seniorsʼ Home Support program.

Pat Forrest of Prime Valley Real Estate is sponsoring a jumping castle at the festival, Cougars Conquering Cancer will be serving pink candy floss and Peter Boldt is on board to lead some energetic Zumba in the downtown core. The Renfrew Victoria Hospital Auxiliary will provide its famous root beer floats, and Santa Fe Restaurant is taking it to the street with an outdoor patio with ribs, corn and more available for purchase. Valley Heritage Radio will wrap up the day with a kitchen party in Low Square. To learn more about the festival, check out the Renfrew BIA website and events page on Facebook.

Intolerance at its worst Leading up to the Ottawa Valley’s first Diversity Festival July 7 in Renfrew, organizers invite you to meet some of the many diverse individuals who make up our unique and wonderful community. “Let me give you an idea of what hell is all about.” David Shentow, one of Ottawaʼs most well-known Holocaust survivors, knows exactly where intolerance can lead. He has walked the path and lived to tell the story. He told his powerful, horrific story to a large group of Arnprior District High School students June 6. It is a story none of them will soon forget. Shentow was held in concentration camps from 1942 to 1945, spending ages 17 to 20 in captivity. Born in Warsaw, Poland in 1925, his family moved to Antwerp, Belgium when he was an infant in an attempt to escape anti-Semitism. In August of 1942, Shentow

and his father were ordered to report to the Antwerp railway station – it was the last time he would see his mother and two sisters. He was deported to a work camp in France and was later put on a train and sent to Auschwitz. After four days aboard the train, Shentow arrived at Auschwitz along with 3,000 others to find people in striped pajamas, caps and wooden clogs. Women, children, disabled and the elderly were told to move to the left. Shentow was sent to the right, along with other able-bodied men. The men were instructed to undress, take a cold shower, and run naked to the other end of what he had determined to be a concentration camp. It was then he was tattooed with the number 72585, which was how he would be referred to from then on. Shentow told the students he asked the man tattooing

Faces of Diversity Holocaust survivor David Shentow shows the tattoo he received as a concentration camp prisoner to an Arnprior District High School student. him what the significance of his number was. The man replied that Shentow was the 72,585th prisoner in the camp. When he asked how many people were in the camp he was told around 30,000. “Where is everybody else?” asked Shentow. The tattoo artist pointed to the smoke stacks of the crematorium. Before leaving Auschwitz, Shentow learned the heartbreaking news from a neighbour from his hometown that

his mother and two sisters had been killed. In 1943, Shentow was transferred from Auschwitz to the remains of the former Warsaw Ghetto, where he joined a group of prisoners in working to level the ruins of buildings. In August 1944, Shentow joined 5,000 Jewish prisoners on a death march to Dachau, walking 50-60 miles each day. Heat and thirst and hunger plagued the prisoners. Then they were put on a cattle train, 120 people per box car, and

taken to Dachau. It was one long, hellish year for Shentow at Dachau until liberation on April 29, 1945, his 20th birthday. “It was the day I was born again,” he said. As the only surviving member of a family of 17, Shentow considers his survival a miracle. While he said he didnʼt like rehashing the memories and reliving the pain, he feels an obligation to tell the story, to prevent it from happening again and to counter the views of those who say the Holocaust didnʼt happen. “If someone says they donʼt like Jewish people, if someone

says theyʼre going to kill Jewish people, listen to them.” The Diversity Festival kicks off July 6 with Dragonʼs Breath, a theatrical performance at 7 p.m. at TrinitySt. Andrewʼs United Church. Dragonʼs Breath premieres June 30 at 7 p.m. in Almonte at the Old Town Hall Auditorium. The main festival runs 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Renfrewʼs Low Square. Dragonʼs Breath closes the event with another showing 4-6 p.m. For more information or to sign up, email diversityfestivalinformation@gmail.com or visit Facebook at www.facebook/DiversityFestival.

Sylvester back behind bench Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

The Renfrew Timberwolves will enter the 201213 Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League season with a familiar face behind the bench. General manager Brent Sylvester will take over the coaching reins from Tony Iob effective immediately. “Tonyʼs contract was not renewed,” Wolves president Doug Miller said. With his hockey experience overseas, Miller said Iob was actually overqualified for the amount the Wolves could afford to pay him. “Tony isnʼt going to coach for nothing,” Miller noted. A former Wolves defenceman, Sylvester is looking forward to the challenge of stepping in behind the bench, where he has been before. “Iʼm excited. Iʼm looking forward to the challenge,” he said. “I can hardly wait to get started. “I have a lot of work to do,” he added. Sylvester has assistant coaches in place. Ex-Timberwolf and Pontiac Junior blueliner Jason Gould; Lorenzo Comparelli, who has about 20 years Triple A coaching experience in Toronto; and Gouldʼs brother Brent, a goaltender who also played in the junior B loop, will join Sylvester. The Goulds are products of the Muskrat (Cobden) minor hockey system. “Jason knows every kid from Cobden all the way through,” Sylvester said. “Lorenzo has skill and knowledge to push kids through. And I donʼt want to leave the goalies out in the

cold, so Brent (Gould) will be able to work with them,” Sylvester added. One player Comparelli coached at the Triple A level was Tie Domiʼs son, who appears destined to make the National Hockey League. FORTUNES CHANGE

This past year for the Renfrew club was victorystarved as the Wolves posted a 16-23-and-3 record, which landed them fourth in the Valley Division. The Wolves got only two home dates in the playoffs as they were swept in the opening round by the Arnprior Packers. Iobʼs first year was much better, however. A former Timberwolf himself, Iob took over partway through the 2010-11 season. Although the Wolves would finish the regular season in fourth place, they narrowly missed placing as high as second, and entered the season playing some good hockey. They lost the first two games of the Valley semifinal to the division-leading Perth Blue Wings before rebounding to win four straight. In the final, the Wolves turned back the No. 2 seed Arnprior Packers in five games. Three Renfrew wins came on Arnprior ice, including the March 13, 2011 clincher to give the Wolves Renfrewʼs first Junior B title in 11 years. The Wolves lost the Metro-Valley final to eventual league champion Clarence Creek Beavers in five games.

Derek Lonergan paddles to the finish at the Team Canada Outrigger Sprint time trails in Burnaby in early June.

RCI graduate looks forward to representing Canada at world outrigger championship Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Derek Lonergan will represent Canada at the 2012 World Outrigger Sprint Championships, which will be held in Calgary Aug. 11 to 15. Lonergan is a graduate of Renfrew Collegiate Institute and a former resident of Horton Township. His parents, Paul and Theresa still reside there. Lonergan will be rowing with the Team Canada V-6 Open Canada 3 boat in Calgary, where he has done most of his training. Lonergan competed in the Team Canada time trials in Burnaby, B.C. June 2 and 3. “These races were done in OC-1 boats (one man outrigger) and depending on your time, you could qualify for one of the six Team Canada six-man boats,” Lonergan pointed out. “The six fastest are placed

in Canada 1, next six fastest are placed in Canada 2, all the way to Canada 6.” Lonergan posted a time of two minutes and 44 seconds; a slow time, he noted, compared to the 2:34 posted two weeks earlier at a time trial in Calgary. MAUI REGATTA

Lonergan also competed in a regatta at Kahului Harbour in Maui this past April Six members of the Calgary Canoe Club joined together to race in a V-6, and came in third. “This is the size of boat I will be racing at the Worlds for Team Canada,” Lonergan said. “We did a two-week training camp in Kihei, Maui, Hawaii during April and it was during that camp we raced in the Kahului regatta. “We trained with the Kihei

Canoe Club.” Lonergan and canoe teammate, Tyler Labelle, conquered what is known as the worldʼs toughest boat race when they completed the 421-kilometre annual Texas Water Safari in 2010. Whitewater, muddy portages, eight-foot waves, alligators, fog, hallucinations and soaring temperatures were just some of the dangers Lonergan and his teammate endured as they raced from San Marcos to Seadrift, Texas. They had 100 hours to complete the course, and did so in 76. “The Worlds will see over 2,000 athletes from over 30 countries competing and this is the first time Canada has hosted it,” Lonergan said of the upcoming outrigger championships. Lonergan, who turns 32 in August, is proud to be a representative for his country.

Derek Lonergan

“Itʼs not whether we win gold or come last, itʼs whether we race our best race and give it our all, after all, representing Canada in Canada is a very special experience.”

When his wedding started, he was a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins. By the end of the day, close to a dozen Penguins at the reception became rivals as Staal had been dealt to the Carolina Hurricanes. He is also now a teammate of older brother Eric with the Hurricanes. There are some good wedding stories involving sports personalities.

Get the ice ready: The Renfrew Junior B Timberwolves have already announced, training camp opens Tuesday, Aug. 21.

2012-13 schedule out: The National Hockey League schedule was released last week. Among notable games, the Ottawa Senators host Toronto Friday, Dec. 28, and on Saturdays, Feb. 23 and March 30. Those games are probably already sold out. Montreal is in town Wednesday, Dec. 19, Monday, Feb. 25 and Tuesday, March 19. The Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings visit Saturday, Dec. 15, and the Detroit Red Wings two weeks later on Dec. 29.

* * * The Los Angeles Dodgers last World Series title came in five games over the Oakland Aʼs in 1988. And for this week: The Ottawa Senators drafted Cody Cici of the Ottawa 67ʼs with their first round pick, 15th overall last Friday. In 2003, the Senators took their first-ever Ottawa 67, Will Colbert of Arnprior, in the seventh round. But Colbert never was signed by the Senators and went back into the draft two years later. What NHL team took him then?

But Peterson and Susan Kekich hit it off. They got married, had four kids of their own, and are still together. Yankees and opponents alike voiced their thoughts as word of the deal leaked out to the press in 1973. One puzzled Yankee teammate pondered out loud: “How can a guy trade his dog?”

Butson fires a personal best 85 in ladies golf action at Renfrew Lesley Murray, Kim Vandewouw From the Ladies Tee

Preparing for Hospice Classic Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Golfers are reminded to mark down Friday, Aug. 17 on their calendar. That is the day of the sixth annual Aikenheadʼs Golf Classic for Hospice Renfrew. The event takes place at the Renfrew Golf Club for the first time. The cost per four-person team is $540, which includes 18 holes of golf, your cart, barbecue lunch, dinner and participation gifts. There will also be prizes for

featured skill events, and firstplace prizes for menʼs, mixed and ladies categories. “The day also includes an opportunity to memorialize that special loved one and a silent auction featuring some very special gift items,” Aikenheadʼs Hospice Classic chairperson Jo-Anne Dowdall-Brown said. Something new this year is a beat-the-pro, closest-to-thepin contest. There is also a 5050 draw in which the winner could take home as much as $3,000.

The tournament is open to the first 36 teams. Registration on the day of the golf classic starts at 11 a.m. notes Dowdall-Brown. Play begins to the sound of the shotgun at 1 p.m. Pre-tournament events will be taking place alongside registration. Dowdall-Brown is very pleased with how the community has come together to support the hospice golf tournament over the years. “This tournament has raised over $135,000 in the last five years,” she said.

Dependables golf teams up and down in Renfrew Golf Club weekly ladies rec league First Choice Hair Cutters maintained their first place standing in the A flight at the Renfrew Golf Clubʼs ladies rec league June 20. The Dependables #2 team wasnʼt as dependable this week. They fell from A flight

down to B. The Captainʼs Crew slipped from B to C, and the Birdies down from C to D as a result of the coin toss against the Classy Ladies. Moving up were the Highballers to A, Dependables #1

to B, and Chipits to C. Closest to the pin were A.J. White and Tracey MacKenzie. Claire Knight and Heather Larone were closest to the line. Diane Postma and Nancy Saumure won gift certificates.

About 50 ladies attended, but because of a thunderstorm, we had to abandon our game. Fortunately for us, Jamie Paulen put on a wonderful dinner to console everyone for missing their golf game. Good fun, lively dinner discussions, and great prizes rounded out the evening. The second qualifier, which was played June 16, was a net tournament and sponsored, with our thanks, by Scottʼs

Celebrating Canada on the water Canada Rivers Day was celebrated across the country on June 10 and Owl Rafting in Foresters Falls marked the occasion by offering rides in historic Voyageur canoes up the Ottawa River. It’s the second year Owl has hosted the Voyageur canoes. The initiative was expanded this year to include a Voyageur feast for weekend rafters who were treated to French Canadian tourtiere and baked beans made the traditional way – in the sand, explained Claudia Van Wijk, who along with husband Dirk, owns the rafting company. Ten per cent of rafting package proceeds went to the Ottawa Riverkeeper, a grassroots charity formed to protect, promote and improve the health and future of the river.

The Rocky Mountain House had a team of twelve runners in the Perth Kilt Run which was held on June 23. The eight-kilometre run, which is a fundraiser for Multiple Sclerosis, hopes to be the largest of its kind with a shot at being included in the Guinness Book of World Records. This year’s run drew 1,727. From left are Rocky Mountain House team members Amanda Tubman, Alison Roesler, Amy Rule, Ken Rule, Paige Bennett, Adam McGregor, Heather Laird, Logan Goulette, Kauri Dahl, Mitchell McGregor, Josh Chretien and Tim Phinney.

Kilt run record chase in Perth There were several Renfrew-area participants in the Perth Kilt Run June 23. This event is an attempt to break a world record for the number of runners wearing a kilt during such an event, noted marathoner Colleen Berry. Perth, Scotland apparently missed it this year by 16 participants. In Perth, Ontario

there were 1,727 runners in all and 37 wheelchair participants, she said. Among them were a contingent from Renfrewʼs Rocky Mountain House, a small group from Valley Source for Sports, and others. Local results included: • Kaura Dahl, 15, third in the female 19 and under divi-

sion with a time of 40:48. • Skyler Craig, fourth overall in 28:45. • Colleen Berry, third overall female in 33:54. • Pat McGregor, 18th of 66 in her age division in 58:12. • Bonnie McIntyre ran the course in 46:35, Faye Warren 49:56, and Debbie Fiebig 54:22.

The McCormacks are part of a group of 10 shufflers selected to demonstrate shuffleboard to a world congress being held in Siauliai, Lithuania from July 5 to July 11. There will be two Canadians, two Americans, four Brazilians and two Germans demonstrating during the eight-day period. The objective of the World Sport for All Games is to promote diversity of national cultures, co-operation, and peace and welfare through sport. Victory is not the first priority. The preservation and promotion of, and participation in, traditional sports and games to maintain and share the worldʻs unique and interesting cultures and heritage is. The shufflers will perform daily throughout the week to a stadium full of visitors and invited VIP guests of the International Olympic Committee (IOC); the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO); the World Health Organization (WHO) and other international organizations (ICSSPE and others). Instructions and explanations will be instantly translated into 60 languages. Stan and Lois have shuffled in Australia, Brazil, Germany, Holland, Ireland, Russia and the USA. They will be competing in this yearʼs international event in Seattle, Washington in August.

Breast cancer survivor overcomes swimsuit challenge Lucy Hass

Cancer doesnʼt end with your last treatment. Ellen Milosek of Douglas learned that lesson after her breast cancer surgery left her with a specific summer challenge – buying a bathing suit. Milosek said that after her “journey with cancer” she chose not to wear a prosthesis, which set the stage for a long search for comfortable swimwear. She contacted a variety of major sportswear companies to find out what they offer to cancer patients, without success. It appeared nobody in Ottawa made the mastectomy

as well as covering scars and burn marks. “We are proud to provide one-on-one service to all our customers, like body builders, gymnasts, synchronized swimmers and ski teams,” he says. Forbie creates custom-tailored sportswear ranging from cycling clothing, gymnastic and ski suits to polar fleece wear and swimsuits, all crafted to precise measurement. “Itʼs a wonderful place,” says Milosek, who canʼt say enough about the special treatment she received. She was so impressed, even her daughter attended to get a custom-made suit.

Milosek says she also knows, personally, of two other people in the Renfrew area who have benefitted from the service. “We shop the worldʼs great-

est fashion districts for stateof-the-art sports fabrics in the newest designer prints,” the companyʼs website says. Their custom orders are usually ready within a week,

the site says, but they can have a swimsuit ready in as little as 30 minutes, for a small “rush” charge. Forbie Activewear can be contacted at 613-724-6167. R0011478073

pieces. “It was depressing,” Milosek said. When she finally happened upon a solution, she was delighted and intent on sharing the good news with others facing the same challenge. Milosek sings the praises of Soheila and Behzad Shadzik, the co-owners of Forbie Activewear in Ottawa. Over more than 20 years in business, the Shadziks have built a strong reputation for exceptional customer service, as evidenced in glowing testimonials. Behzad tells The Mercury they always help customers with special needs like mastectomy, ostomy, wheelchair,

POLITICS Ontario PC Leader Tim Hudak congratulated MPP John Yakabuski on his nomination as the Ontario PC candidate for Renfrew-NipissingPembroke. Hudak applauded and thanked Yakabuski for his unwavering focus on reducing the size and cost of government and kick-starting the economy to create private-

sector jobs. “John has earned the conďŹ dence of his community over and over again because they know they can count on him to represent their priorities,â€? said Hudak. “While the McGuinty Liberals continue to deepen OntarioĘźs economic crisis, the Ontario PC Party is promoting solutions to create new jobs and rein in government spending.â€? “IĘźm honoured to continue rep-

resenting Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke by working hard to promote positive ideas to tackle OntarioĘźs spending and jobs crisis,â€? said Yakabuski. “Our Party is the only one talking seriously about how we get private sector job growth back on track.â€? “This Liberal-NDP budget that puts our province on the road to a $30-billion deďŹ cit is the wrong path

for OntarioĘźs future prosperity. Urgent action is needed,â€? said Yakabuski in a news release last week. The release also listed several speciďŹ c Ontario PC plans for private sector job growth which include: balancing the budget to encourage businesses to expand and hire; lowering taxes for job-creating businesses; eliminating costly and failed wind and solar subsidies for more af-

fordable energy; a more exible and responsive approach to regulation, and more skilled trades jobs by modernizing the apprenticeship system. Yakabuski was re-elected MPP for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke for his third term on Oct. 6, 2011 and serves as the Chief Whip for the OfďŹ cial Opposition and as the Community Safety Critic in Ontario PC Leader Tim HudakĘźs shadow cabinet.

For the past three school years, I have had the privilege of holding the position of public relations minister at St. JosephĘźs Catholic High School. During this time, I have been given the opportunity to write a weekly column for The Renfrew Mercury. I have written about events and activities at SJHS including performing arts, sporting events, and social justice activities. St. JosephĘźs Catholic High School has a very active school community and plays an important part in the overall community of Renfrew and area. It was my goal as public relations minister to ensure that the Renfrew MercuryĘźs readership was made aware of the contributions SJHS makes to our community. On Wednesday, June 27, I, along with 71 of my Grade 12 peers, graduated from SJHS. As I will not be returning to SJHS and the position of public relations minister next year, I wish to take this opportunity to express my gratitude. Firstly, to The Renfrew Mercury and especially editor Lucy Hass, for giving me the opportunity to write during the past three years. I would also like to thank everyone who read my column on a weekly basis. Your support and positive comments have been greatly appreciated. In addition, I would like to thank the SJHS

school community for their conďŹ dence and support. I am very pleased to be handing over my responsibilities to Grade 10 student Abby Hall. I am conďŹ dent that Abby will continue to keep you informed and aware of all the great things

that will be happening at St. JosephĘźs Catholic High School. Thank you again for all of your support, and I look forward to reading AbbyĘźs article in the future. St. JosephĘźs Catholic High School is truly a school to believe in!

Meganʼs interest in art began when her Grandpa bought her an easel with paper and she began to draw. Megan says the big excitement came when, Mom told me I was going to have lessons with a real artist. Her favourite subjects are wildlife and flowers. She listens to music in chaotic studio space where she has taken on large projects. One was a three-piece 4ʼ x 8ʼ backdrop for her cousinʼs wedding depicting a rural road. This year she completed two murals for RCI, including one entire wall on the third floor. Megan has assisted with the Hospice Renfrew memory boards for the fundraising run in May.

In loving memory of a dear friend and neighbour who passed away one year ago on June 29, 2011 Gone are the days we used to share, But in our hearts you’re always there, Never more than a thought away, Loved and remembered every day. Sadly missed and fondly remembered by Rose & Jack.

Long ago is not far away, It is close as thought and near as memory, Our memories are happy ones, Playful childhood’s and family fun, Camping and fishing and yelling out loud, Dreaming and hoping and loving, Ten long years have come and gone. One thing is for sure, Bud memories of you will always live on, In our hearts and minds forever.

HISKO, MAXIE

Sadly missed and fondly remembered by Rose & Jack In loving memory of my husband, father, pop who left us too soon June 30, 2011. God saw you getting tired, And a cure was not to be, So he put his arms around you, And whispered “Come to Me”, With tearful eyes we watched you, And saw you pass away, And although we love you dearly, We could not make you stay, A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
