ThereĘźs no mistaking the urgency of expanding Highway 417 well into Renfrew County, up to and beyond the City of Pembroke.

A County of Renfrew delegation of public works director Dave Darch, Warden Bob Sweet and Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack spent more than 75 minutes arguing their case before Ontario Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Bob Chiarelli and staff at QueenĘźs Park June 27.

Their arguments included safety â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the face of ongoing fatalities along

broke area when it happens in another few decades.

The death of Pembroke resident and Renfrew Victoria Hospital employee Jessica Fitzgerald on Wednesday morning (June 27) represented the 37th trafďŹ c death on the countyĘźs Highway 17 since 2009.

That reality wasnĘźt lost on the delegation members, who offered their assessment of the QueenĘźs Park meeting. The three provided a post-mortem summary during the June 28 meeting of Renfrew County council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no funding in the ďŹ ve-year plan for us (from the province),â&#x20AC;? said

Expansion of the four-lane Highway 417 has reached into the southeastern end of Renfrew County, at Arnprior, where reconstruction work continues.

ADMASTON-BROMLEY

McHale, Crozier honoured as township’s finest citizens Lucy Hass lucy.hass@metroland.com

Canada was honoured as the greatest country in the world at Admaston-Bromleyʼs annual Canada Day celebration Sunday.

But the real focus was honouring Citizen of the Year Evelyn McHale and Senior Citizen of the Year Mary Crozier.

The two ladies were part of a proud tradition recognized

by Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski.

During his address, he noted how much it says about the municipality that it takes the time to honour its citizens.

MP Cheryl Gallant was represented by Dalton and Gail Stokes, and the entire Admaston-Bromley council was on hand for the festivities.

The Campbell Family led the singing of O Canada.

A special feature of this yearʼs Canada Day was the dedication of a tree commemorating Queen Elizabeth IIʼs Diamond Jubilee. The tree dedication was led by clerk Bev Briscoe, who is retiring at yearʼs end, and her family.

Entertainment before the awards presentations was by popular local band Mixed Nuts – Pat Watters, Dave Rowat, Keith Eady, Randle Donnelly, Gerry Papousek and Grant Smith.

Entertainment after the awards was by The Helferty Family and Expo 150 Idol finalist Jim Hebert.

Attractions included Ken and Kim Keill and their miniature horses, and the 4-H Clown Club that offered fun childrenʼs activities.

A barbecue was sponsored and run by the Admaston-Bromley Wards 3 and 4 recreation committee.

During her portion of the afternoon program, Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe thanked the municipal staff for all their hard work preparing for the celebration and shared the following background on the citizen award winners.

EVELYN MCHALE

Evelyn was born July 18, 1947, the third child and first daughter out of 10 children for William and Loretta OʼGrady.

Evelyn was raised in the Cormac area and married a good olʼ Douglas boy, Terry McHale, in May of 1967. This union celebrated three children and five grandsons.

Terry and Evelyn took over ownership of the Douglas Hotel (or Didley as it is better known) in 1972 – 40 years ago.

Evelyn has never been a person to just sit back and do the minimum required. She has been active in the Catholic Womenʼs League, hosts the Douglas Lions Club meeting/ dinner monthly, was a pivotal member and organizer of the Douglas Business Association, brought the Big Bike for Heart and Stroke to the hamlet of Douglas, and with her co-dreamer organizer, Barry Enright, began the wonderful tradition of the Douglas Santa Claus Parade in 1988.

The Campbells, from left, Jack, Ross and Donnie led the singing of O Canada.

Mary Crozier, at left, is Admaston-Bromley’s 2012 Senior Citizen of the Year and Evelyn McHale is Citizen of the Year.

Evelynʼs collection of Christmas decorations and unique items is truly amazing and, according to Terry, is continually expanding. Evelyn has been the worker bee at the Douglas Tavern and so instead of just doing that job she has opened her workplace to others to continue her community sharing and caring.

Some events that are near and dear to her heart are the time and energy spent hosting the Community Living, Bonnechere Manor and Over the Hill Pool Club groups. The Douglas Hotel has been the venue for many community gatherings – stag and does, bridal showers, wedding receptions and even weddings, various committees and organizations meetings, and, of course, St. Patrickʼs Day, which over the years has grown and truly put the small hamlet of Douglas on the map. The Childrenʼs Hospital of Eastern Ontario and the Renfrew Victoria Hospital are the recipients of the proceeds from the famous St. Paddyʼs Hat and Sweater Auction.

Evelyn has kept a strong presence in the community even while going through some serious health issues.

An eight-year breast cancer survivor and an 11-year heart attack survivor, Evelyn has never abandoned her commitment to her community and her family.

Of course, we cannot forget her time, effort, sacrifices, caring and commitment to the Douglas Volunteer Fire Department. The saying “behind every good man is a better woman” is magnified by the number of wonderful volunteer firefighters. Evelyn has never just been the fire chiefʼs wife, she has manned the phone lines as an on-call or backup for years before the purchase of pagers for the fire department.

Often, when the firefighters returned from a fire call, Evelyn would have food prepared

2 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, July 5, 2012

and that famous welcoming and gracious smile that made them feel appreciated.

Evelyn, thanks for making Admaston-Bromley your place to call home.

MARY CROZIER

Mary was born in 1945 and Queensline was her home base as a child. Mary married Murray Crozier from the Northcote area in 1966.

They moved away briefly for a couple of years for Murrayʼs job at Ontario Hydro.

But in 1968 daughter Karen was born and the call of the Ottawa Valley beckoned them home.

Mary volunteered as a parent supervisor for every Admaston Public School class trip for many years.

Mary assumed the duties of general manager/ʼget-r-doneʼ person for the Rosebank Cemetery in 1971 and is still keeping the books, keeping the mapping current, organizing decoration services, preparing all the cemetery reports, dealing with people and funeral homes as required. Mary seems to be the contact person for the other small cemeteries in the area.

Mary started by volunteering at the Northcote Community Centre in 1971 at the strawberry social and the Christmas concerts and assumed the organizing and running of the centre in the early 1980s.

She takes care of the hall bookings, organizes the winter carnival, cleans the hall, and co-ordinates the volunteers for funeral luncheons and Mary Cook days.

Mary was a valued and contributing volunteer of the Millennium Committee for the Admaston Homecoming, which was tremendously successful. Mary is a quiet and unassuming person but when asked to help another, she becomes a masterful organizer and planner.

The family of Bev Briscoe (at right), the long-time clerk who retires at the end of 2012, oversaw the dedication of a tree commemorating Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee.

GREATER MADAWASKA

Township will teach waste management, recycling at public meetings peter.clark@metroland.com

As of Nov. 3, 2012, Greater Madawaska Township will allow only clear garbage bags at all three waste sites, in conjunction with its waste recycling strategy.

“Itʼll cost about $1,000 for signs (at the three locations),” said public works manager Jamie Doering. The township must increase recycling participation in order to reach the 50 per cent diversion rate, and eventually meet the provincial governmentʼs target diversion rate of 65 per cent. The townshipʼs diversion rate was 25 per cent in 2010.

“Weʼll have public meetings in August (to educate) in all three wards (Dacre, Griffith and Calabogie),” Mayor Peter Emon added. He said people will get used to the clear bags over time.

Waste and recycling public information meeting dates and times are: Aug. 8 in Griffith at the Griffith Lions Hall; Aug. 22 at the DACA Centre; and Aug. 30 at the Calabogie Community Centre. All three meetings are from 6 to 8 p.m.

“For now, when someone brings an opaque garbage bag to the (landfill) site, the waste attendant will give them a letter outlining what we are doing and why we are doing it,” Mayor Emon told committee of the whole June 23.

In conjunction with the blue box and backyard composter initiative, people new to the township will receive

vouchers for a free blue box, kitchen compost container and a backyard composter.

“It has all been budgeted for 2012,” Doering said.

The budget is $1,500 for the free items, based on the average amount of new home building permits in the last two years. The same amount has been budgeted for vouchers for taxpayers, who get $5 off a blue box, $5 off a kitchen compost container and $20 off a backyard composter.

Vouchers will be sent out with the tax bill.

All vouchers will be redeemable starting Sept. 1, only at TIM-BR Mart in Griffith and Calabogie Home Hardware.

BROUGHAM OFFICE

Council passed a resolution in February 2012 declaring the Brougham office at 145 Flat Road to be surplus and to have the building sold and removed from the property. The office had been used for municipal staff prior to the amalgamation of Bagot, Blythfield & Brougham.

The result will be a saving of about $1,200 annually, plus no capital costs in the budget for the building will be hanging over the townshipʼs heads.

DRAWING PEOPLE TO THE COMMUNITY

CAO Mark Urbanski spoke of the success of last sum-

merʼs first Calabogie Blues and Ribfest at Calabogie Peaks and the effect it had on the community. “They had about 8,000 people last year, and estimate 12,000 to 14,000 people this year,” Urbanski said.

“They already have 20 vendors, and are looking at 45 to 50. For the Peaks to bring an event like this to this township is outstanding.”

NEWSLETTER

The inaugural newsletter Shop Local promotion hit the streets with the Madawaska Highlander last week.

Coun. Glenda McKay, who spearheaded the project, thanked township staff and council for their work and support in making the Madawaska Messenger a reality.

She said the input of the people in the township is most welcome.

“People have an opportunity to do so with the first edition. We have a form so people can say what they like or donʼt like about it,” Coun.

McKay said.

The form can be faxed or emailed back in for the readerʼs thoughts.

“We want public input. Tell us what you want. We are open to suggestions,” she added.

About 1,000 extra copies of the Highlander are available on their own at various locations.

The 2012 CABA (Calabogie and Area Business Asso-

ciation) directory was inserted into the Messenger, also a good promotion for the area.

“We are targeting for October,” Coun. McKay said of the Madawaska Messengerʼs second edition.

$21,564 for asbestos abatement, and $13,915 for the removal of floor titles.

Playground equipment was assessed and considerable repairs are needed.

Council is applying for a $25,000 Hydro One Power Play Grant, plus a grant submission for $25,000 with the FCC for the upgrades.

The townshipʼs playground areas are located at the Ginza Rink in Griffith Park, Calabogie Community Centre and Barnet Park in Calabogie.

Signs will also be installed at all three playground areas with contact information to report any damaged equipment or injures.

Council will also make an application for a New Horizons grant on behalf of the Calabogie Seniors Club to provide power for the Grand Gazebo at Barnet Park.

Funds will also go to the purchasing of a sound system.

The increase in electricity will help promote the Barnet Park area, and also allow seniors to remain more active in the community, council said.

Council has approved an ASBEX bid of $35,479 for work at 19 Parnell Street, the former Calabogie Public School building.

The bid is broken down into

the facility. The building was purchased from the Renfrew County District School Board and is now owned by the township.

Catholic school board uses reserves to pass no-cuts budget Declining enrolment in Renfrew County schools leads to renewed talk of amalgamations john.carter@metroland.com

The Renfrew County Catholic District School Board (RCCDSB) will invest $58.97 million in its faith-based education system in 2012–2013, according to the budget passed unanimously by Board trustees June 25.

The new budget will use about $300,000 in reserves to allow the district to maintain all of its existing programs in the coming school year.

“In keeping with our commitment to provide the highest quality of education in our faith-based schools, we plan no program cuts in our 2012–2013 budget,” said board chair Bob Schreader. “This will allow our schools to meet the needs and expectations of our students and their parents, and support the Ministry of Educationʼs goals for individual student achievement.”

He said a revenue shortfall of $305,742 will be covered by board reserves.

Schreader praised fellow trustees for their commitment to the board priorities. “Your prudent decision-making and effective use of our boardʼs resources have helped to expand our achievements as a faith-based education system and support student success in our community of schools,” he said.

The new budget includes several provincewide initiatives that focus on increasing student success and responding to individual needs of students, Schreader pointed out.

“This Board strives to provide an inclusive school environment for each and every one of our students to achieve their personal best. To that end, we will maintain our focus on special education,” Schreader said.

The $8.4-million program, which is the boardʼs largest single initiative, will be supported by $7 million in funding resulting in a special education deficit of $1.4 million.

Other key initiatives for 2012–2013 include: • Full-day, every-day Early Learning Kindergarten Program (ELKP) at two new sites - Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School in Pembroke and St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic School in Renfrew.

• The addition of an Early Education teacher to the Aboriginal Success program in order to help close the gap in student achievement.

• The expansion of the summer school program for Grade 4 students. In addition to the Crusaders Camp in Pembrokeʼs Bishop Smith Catholic High School, another camp, called Jaguar, will be offered at St. Josephʼs Catholic High School in Renfrew. The program allows students to explore and experience all that Catholic high schools have to offer.

• Support for French as a Second Language (FSL) programs with an extended pilot program continuing at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School in Petawawa and a new pilot program at St. Josephʼs Catholic School in Arnprior this fall.

• A total of $125,000 in Ministry of Education funding to support the Student Work Study Teachers initiative. This project involves a collaborative study of student learning needs, plus assessment and instructional strategies to close learning gaps and improve achievement.

• A continuing focus on improving student achievement across the board. In the recent Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test results, RCCDSBʼs secondary students exceeded board expectations, with an 86 per cent average. The provincial average was 82 per cent.

• Maintaining a partnership with the Parent Involvement Committee (PIC) to improve parent involvement in their childrenʼs education. PIC recently offered some recommendations that included pooling resources by bringing parent school councils together; increasing communication to inform parents about Ministry and Board initiatives; as well as sharing tips with parents on how to help their children succeed.

• Investing $25,000 from the Ontario Leadership Strategy for professional training to help aspiring leaders in the board. The funds will be used to enhance the knowledge of the boardʼs leadership team.

• Building a more robust chaplaincy program as part of the boardʼs religious education goals. Other activities include an annual religious retreat for trustees and formal meetings with religious leaders in the community. School principals also work with pastors throughout the year on religious activities within local communities.

• Introducing a Hockey Canada Skills Academy at St. Josephʼs Catholic High School in Renfrew this fall. This innovative program will allow Grade 9 and 10 students to earn high school credits from hockey instruction.

• In an effort to expand the boardʼs music program, staffing will be enhanced.

• Continuing to expand the technology infrastructure program as well as enhancing wireless capabilities across the school system.

Projects include upgrading hardware in schools and classroom laptops for students. A blended learning approach, combining traditional teacher-led classes with digital resources, continues to move forward.

• New high-tech projects include iPad pilot projects at Holy Name Catholic School in Pembroke and Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School in Renfrew. At Our Lady of Fatima, for instance, two high-tech projects are supported by the provincial Teachers Leadership and Learning Program. The projects involve using iPads, iPod Touches and Smart Boards to target at-risk readers and improve reading levels as well as improve oral language levels.

Other project funding includes: • A total of $23,000 for the Early Primary Collaborative Inquiry (EPCI), which focuses on teaching Kindergarten to Grade 2 children to develop deep-thinking skills through literacy.

Other continuing project funding includes: • $87,805 to continue the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program, which strengthens the ties between high school and the work world; • $83,300 for library support; • $40,000 to continue the Tutors in the Classroom program, which employs 52 university and college students to provide extra coaching and support to students; • $53,600 dedicated to Community Use of Schools, which builds on the boardʼs commitment to maintain strong ties between school, home, parish and the community by encouraging full community use of school facilities; • more than $1.8 million for textbooks, learning materials, classroom equipment and supplies, computers, internet and Smart Boards.

In the area of capital funding, the board looks forward to the official opening for students of the new, state-of-the-art St. Francis of

Assisi Catholic School in Petawawa on Sept. 4.

The Boardʼs other capital projects include: • Bishop Smith exterior facelift at the front entrance, as well as modifications to the foyer, administrative and student services areas to increase functionality and efficient use of space.

• School renewal and school condition improvements funding amounting to $1.7 million to enhance buildings and sites.

• ELKP classroom renovations at Our Lady of Lourdes and St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Schools and an ELKP classroom addition at John XXIII Catholic School in Arnprior, for a total of $896,000.

The Board will also be holding discussions with all employee groups whose agreements expire on Aug. 31.

The board stresses it is committed to working both positively and collaboratively toward new agreements, while ensuring the best interests of students are met.

Declining enrolment continues to be an issue for the board, as it is throughout the province.

Funding for student bus transportation has been adjusted in response to the decline in enrolment, with an additional one per cent reduction due to a routing efficiencies rating.

The Board will also be involved in consultations with the Ministry of Education about the possibility for amalgamation by September 2013.

The board will learn more about potential implications for local communities in the upcoming months.

Meanwhile the Board continues to enhance ʻStudent Voiceʼ through participation in school climate surveys and ʻSpeak-Upʼ grants, to accumulate information for increased student engagement. This is just one of many ways in which the board reaches out to the children in care.

Schreader reiterated the boardʼs commitment to honouring Ministry of Education priorities, “in order to provide our students with the highest quality of education in a nurturing, healthy and safe environment.”

Schreader also expressed appreciation to the boardʼs administration, principals, teachers and support staff for creating “a safe and engaging environment for our students to flourish, surrounded by warmth, hospitality, good humour and joy.”

RENFREW COUNTY

Optimism as CUPE negotiations resume Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Negotiations resumed July 3, and will continue July 9, as the two-monthold CUPE (Canadian Union of Public Employees) Local 4989 strike resumes.

Ontario Works employees remained on the picket line June 28, the day of the last Renfrew County council meeting before the summer break.

The vehicles of county councillors and staff entering for work that day were delayed a few minutes before being allowed to pass, giving the 22 striking employees an opportunity to pass out a pink two-sided information sheet and speak to the drivers.

The same day it was announced the two sides would sit down July 3, for the first time since early May, in an attempt to reach a negotiated settlement.

“Whateverʼs going on isnʼt working,” said CUPE Local 4989 striking staff representative Amy Parker, although she said she was cautiously optimistic about the negotiation session July 3.

Resumed negotiations was at least “a

step in the right direction,” said another striker, Brenda Jolicoeur.

David Anderson, director of Renfrew County social services, is among management staff that remains on the job.

Prior to this weekʼs negotiations, he said, “Weʼre going to go into negotiations to get a negotiated settlement.”

After Tuesdayʼs negotiations, he suggested there was reason for optimism entering the July 9 negotiation session in Pembroke.

Weʼre moving forward,” said Anderson.

The main sticking point isnʼt wages, say the strikers, but what the county wants to take away from their benefit packages.

Some of the contentious issues, according to the strikersʼ information handout, are: • 100 per cent employer coverage of its drug and dental plan would change to 75 per cent employer coverage and 25 per cent employee coverage; • life insurance would change from 1.5 times annual earnings to $35,000; and

• complete removal of each employeeʼs health care spending account, compared to the previous status of $750 to use on health-related expenses not covered or incompletely covered.

The strikersʼ handout also noted the 22 striking members of Local 4989 have been offered a two per cent salary increase per year for the next three years, compared to full benefits and a three per cent salary increase for 2012 for management and other non-unionized full-time staff throughout the county.

“Wages have never been the issue during this dispute – we are simply asking for the status quo when it comes to our benefits,” said the handout.

County council indicated, in its own social services committee report at the June 28 county council meeting, that the county had contacted the Ministry of Labour to request the negotiating teams return to the bargaining table.

The County of Renfrew report also noted that emergency social services continue to be provided by management staff during the labour dispute.

Renfrew Reeve Audrey Green said it was good to have such a positive report on the Queenʼs Park meeting.

“Itʼs been up and down for so many years, and weʼve changed our strategy so often that Iʼm glad itʼs going to go beyond Renfrew, and that even Chiarelli recognizes that to go to the City of Pembroke would be a great step forward.”

At the same time, Green asked that Renfrew and other communities along the Highway 17 corridor be tapped as information sources for the

future economic development report. Warden Sweet reassured her that they would be.

Stack also noted that Chiarelli also said the county needs to provide a business plan (or economic development plan) that describes future economic development are expected because of the twinning (or extension) of Highway 417.

While addressing county council, Stack reiterated what he said at Queenʼs Park, namely how Arnpriorʼs businesses have greatly benefitted from the twinning of Highway 417 to the southeastern end of the country.

MPP Yakabuski, in speaking to The Mercury, said he thought the meeting went extremely well. At the same time, he noted Chiarelli was clear to point out “there is a significant ask for transportation dollars from all areas of the province.”

Darch also called it a very positive meeting, during which Chiarelliʼs staff noted that $500 million has already been spent on work related to the twinning of Highway 417.

Warden Sweet said the twinning is even more vital, given the recent loss of the Canadian Pacific railway, but that the county has some work to do to ensure “its ducks are in order” when more provincial transportation infrastructure dollars become available.

With that in mind, county council unanimously approved a resolution that directs the development and property department to select a consultant (through a request for proposal

Four deaths Canada Day weekend on OPP patrolled roads, trails and waterways

Renfrew firefighters prepare search and rescue strategy before entering a home on Grigg Avenue during their half-day training exercise June 2.

Firefighters use old Grigg Avenue house for good day of training

It was a deadly weekend for some Ontario families during Canada Day weekend. Four people died on the roads, trails and waterways patrolled by the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).

OPP Commissioner Chris Lewis is saddened by the loss of lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although our ofďŹ cers did an excellent job of enforcement over the weekend, we cannot stop the senseless deaths that in some cases might have been preventable,â&#x20AC;? the commission said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Increased visibility and our focus on the four key areas of aggressive driving, distracted driving, drinking and driving and seatbelts does work, but, unfortunately, these tragedies continue to happen.â&#x20AC;?

The OPP Aircraft Enforcement Program plays an important role to crack down on irresponsible drivers and was used all weekend

to assist OPP ofďŹ cers on the roadways, commissioner Lewis added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All operators are responsible for their actions, not just on the highways, but on waterways and trails as well,â&#x20AC;? added Deputy Commissioner Larry Beechey.

Beechey is responsible for OPP TrafďŹ c Safety programs.

The OPP laid 8,763 charges for various trafďŹ c related offences, including 5,062 speeding, 63 stunt driving charges, 461 seatbelt charges and 122 impaired driving charges.

On waterways patrolled by the OPP, ofďŹ cers spent 1,135 hours on the water and laid 135 Small Vessel Regulation charges. There were no marine related deaths.

OPP ofďŹ cers spent 144.5 hours on the trails and laid 26 charges under the Off Road Vehicle Act. There was one off-road vehicle fatality.

Ever ready for an emergency at your home or business, the Renfrew Fire Department was busy at 50 Grigg Avenue in a vacant house owned by Renfrew Victoria Hospital June 2.

It wasnĘźt a real ďŹ re, but the next closest thing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a half-day training exercise,â&#x20AC;? ďŹ re captain Peter Whalen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a house belonging to M.J. and Rose Curley. They sold it to Renfrew Victoria Hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The house was slated to be torn down. We got the opportunity through the hospital to hold training exercises there.

It was a perfect scenario,â&#x20AC;?

Whalen explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a full complement of both full-time and volunteer ďŹ reďŹ ghters,â&#x20AC;? Whalen added.

The ďŹ reďŹ ghters set up a search and rescue.

They did a roof evaluation and cut holes in the roof for ventilation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The interior search was done with all windows blacked out and the room full of synthetic smoke,â&#x20AC;? Whalen said.

The crew worked on ďŹ reďŹ ghters survival and rescue techniques both upstairs and in the basement of the home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a purpose,â&#x20AC;?

Highway 17 was closed, just outside Haley Station, for 14 hours Wednesday, June 27 after a three-vehicle accident took the life of Renfrew Victoria Hospital registered nurse Jessica Fitzgerald.

The crash, involving a dump truck, car and tractor trailer at the intersection of Highway 17 and Haley Road, occurred about 7:35 a.m.

The married mother of two children was en route to work when the accident happened. The Renfrew OPP conďŹ rmed she died at the scene.

The OPPĘźs investigation reveals that a car travelling eastbound was struck in the eastbound lane by a westbound dump truck.

The dump truck unsuccessfully attempted to stop for trafďŹ c waiting to turn off of the highway. The dump truck struck the back of a transport and veered into the eastbound lane, where it struck FitzgeraldĘźs car.

The male driver of the dump truck, Terry Gogolin, 55, of Petawawa, was transported to the Renfrew Victoria Hospital where he was treated for minor injuries and released.

The driver of the transport truck, Blair Peck, 55, of Clarendon, Ont., was not injured.

Fitzgerald worked as the diabetes educator with RVH outpatients in the Renfrew area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jessica was a caring professional and a dedicated nurse with high professional practice standards,â&#x20AC;? said Chris Ferguson, Renfrew Victoria HospitalĘźs vice-president of patient care services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She shall be dearly missed by all her friends and colleagues at Renfrew Victoria Hospital.

She will be remembered as a dynamic employee, a dedicated mother, and a delightful and energetic person to work with.â&#x20AC;?

Fitzgerald is survived by husband Bob and their daughters, Alexis and Mackenzie.

Her parents, Robert and Maureen Sullivan, live in Peterborough, sister Michelle Jokel in Waterdown, Ont., and brother Andrew Sullivan in Fort McMurray, Alta.

The visitation was held at PembrokeĘźs Neville Funeral Home on Saturday from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. A funeral mass was at St. JosephĘźs Parish in Douro, Ont., on Monday, July 2 at 11 a.m. Interment was at St. JosephĘźs Cemetery in Douro. FitzgeraldĘźs family has asked donations be made to Renfrew Victoria HospitalĘźs diabetes education program. Online condolences may be left at www.nevillefuneralhome.ca

Graduation: a time of gracious gratitude and respect The ceremony is a reminder that time marches on, and lifeʼs journey is always made better by the kindness shown to others.

Trustees, principals and teachers are deservedly first in line for recognition. It is their dayto-day decisions and actions that truly shape our education system.

But there are others, often unnoticed, like office and custodial staff, who play a key role in the lives of students.

Thank-yous are a difficult thing. There can never be enough.

And seldom is there such a public outpouring of gratitude and appreciation than at graduation time.

High school graduation is a milestone; a marker by which many of us measure our lives.

And the celebration is as much for the parents as their children.

At last weekʼs St. Josephʼs Catholic High School graduation, each graduate was given a single long-stemmed rose to present to whomever they chose.

Dustin Gannon walked the width of the gymnasium and worked his way through a sea of chairs to present his single rose to long-time custodian Theresa Stroud.

It was a kind and wonderful gesture; a recognition of effort too often overlooked.

A healthy work environment, and supportive school environment, relies upon one simple tenet – respect for all. True success in life goes far beyond oneʼs own achievements. Itʼs also about how you help others reach their potential. One of lifeʼs greatest lessons is realizing that every contribution counts and has its own precious value.

When youʼve learned that lesson, youʼve done more than graduate – youʼve grown up.

Potty in the Park project raises $550

Take in the Diversity Festival this Saturday at Low Square.

Lots to do for all ages, 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

The Mental Health Literacy Basic Skills Class held a Potty-In-ThePark fundraiser for the TAMI project (Teens Talking about Mental Illness) at Low Square June 28.

The theme of the day was Flush Away the Stigma and labels that so often are attached to mental illness.

With that in mind, people dropped

by Low Square and purchased a toilet for $20, said literacy instructor Annette Kinslow. Some businesses were advertised on their toilets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We raised $550 with the potties in the park,â&#x20AC;? Kinslow added. She noted, it was a hot day leading into a long weekend, which may have hurt attendance somewhat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people weĘźd like to thank are Studio D Hairstyles and Michelle from there, Hultinks for the ďŹ&#x201A;owers for the day, Renfrew Pizzeria for providing lunch for the day, and Murray Reid for supplying coffee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;IĘźd also like to thank all the businesses that supported us. We got good success from main street businesses,â&#x20AC;?

Kinslow added.

The event got underway with a 9 a.m. decorating of toilets, and ran through until 7 p.m. The day was in partnership with schools to teach students about living with mental illness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;ItĘźs a great way to show your support and advertise your business,â&#x20AC;?

Kinslow pointed out.

Anyone wishing more information on mental illnesses can call Annette or Elaine at 613-432-5835 or 613433-9363.

Most mental illnesses are treatable and, with the right support, one can live a full and satisfying life.

McAdam honoured by SFX CWL with prestigious Maple Leaf pin Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Angela McAdam showed up at the St. Francis Xavier Catholic Womenʼs League as she always does.

But on this occasion June 12, something was different.

Little did McAdam know, sheʼd be receiving the prestigious CWL Maple Leaf Service Pin. “I began to get suspicious when I saw my daughter and granddaughter here tonight,” she said.

“I am very thrilled with this. I realize itʼs an honour.

“There are many people that deserve this more,” she added humbly.

The meeting of the CWL was held at the Best Western Renfrew Inn and Conference Centre.

The Maple Leaf pin was introduced to the Catholic Womenʼs League of Canada in 1971 for members who have served the league in an exceptional or meritorious manner.

Over the past 40 years, only a select number of members across Canada have received this pin.

A former president, McAdam has been in the CWL for more than 45 years.

“She has assumed most positions on the executive, that of secretary, historian and community life, to name a few.

As well, this personʼs long-time allegiance to the funeral luncheon teams has been ex-

traordinary,” CWL member Carol Sulpher said while introducing McAdam prior to the presentation of the Maple Leaf pin.

“When not leading the troop, she can be found somewhere in the background in almost every activity, quietly going about a myriad of jobs that need to be done.

“Some of these activities include the parish supper and the tea and talent sale (including the days leading up to the event); regularly assisting with the religious articles store; arranging for, and serving at the leagueʼs annual birthday party; responsibilities at Groves Park Lodge and the Manor; as well as helping with the May rummage sale.

“Last year, Angela was a driving force in organizing the 90th anniversary of the birth of our own council.

“Anyone who attended knows she made CWL history ʻcome aliveʼ in the outstanding displays shoe prepared for this event,” Sulpher said.

“Over these years, she not only worked hard as a Catholic mom in raising a busy family of two girls and two boys, but has always been supportive of her community and its many corresponding activities,” Sulpher added.

“Though we have many dedicated members in our league who work hard for God and Canada, none can argue that tonightʼs recipient is especially deserving of the honour.”

Current president Joan Lemay made the Maple Leaf pin presentation to McAdam.

Community service builds strong communities.

“That was a total, total surprise!”

Those were the words of Berny Mortimer after receiving the prestigious Maple Leaf Service Pin at the Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Womenʼs Leagueʼs 45th anniversary meeting June 18.

Pembroke Diocesan CWL president Donna Provost made the presentation.

The Maple Leaf pin was introduced to the Catholic Womenʼs League of Canada in 1971 for members who have served the league in an exceptional or meritorious manner.

Over the past 40 years, only a select number of members across Canada have received this pin.

During her 19 years as an active CWL member, Mortimer has chaired the organization standing committee for two years and secretary for six, OLF Council president Charlotte Cleroux said in her nomination.

“Berny is diligent in her note keeping and helps out with other standing committees when asked. She has wonderful ideas when it comes to organizing events such as spring meetings, conventions, or just a fun night at a monthly meeting,” Cleroux said.

“Her flair for detail is impeccable. We are very fortunate to have such a woman among our midst.”

She is active in the community, Cleroux added, “An example is her running for (Hike for) Hospice. She does this every year, bring-

“She deserves to be awarded the Maple Leaf Pin for her service to the league, the church and the community.”

45 YEARS

Honoured guest Teresa Manion, a charter member of the Fatima CWL, cut the cake in salute of 45 years.

Provost made a presentation to Cleroux on behalf of the Catholic Womenʼs League of Canada in recognition of Fatimaʼs 45 years.

Four members of the CWL were recipients of service pins.

Lillian Ogden has been with the OLF for 40 years and Elizabeth Mathiew 10.

Jeanne Bennett and Mary

Colterman were both insignia pin recipients.

Maureen Brennan, Pauline Hughes and Liz Mosco received Certificates of Merit.

Also honoured were seven presidents in attendance – Teresa Manion, Agnew Walker, Marcella Cybulski, Ella Box, Pauline Hughes, Natasha Goulet-Bistko, and current president Charlotte Cleroux – and six charter members; Manion, Geralda (Peg) Mulvihill, Mamie Siroski, Lois Murphy, Giovanni Stavoie and Gen McCallum.

Father Pat Tait gave blessing for the meal catered by the Renfrew Tea Room.

Well-known author and Ottawa Valley storyteller Mary Cook entertained the gathering after dinner. She was joined at the head table by husband Wallace.

Stepping into the Spotlight again Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Renfrewʼs 12th season of drama instruction and acting lessons successfully wrapped up with its June 16 drama showcase.

The Stepping into the Spotlight showcase featured two plays, Talent for Friendship and Junie B. Jones, at the Renfrew Recreation Centre before friends and family members.

The plays were the climax

of the 12-week annual program at which director Lawrence Mahusky taught many components of theatre, including voice, hair, make-up, cold readings, skits, plays and theatre, and arts improvisation.

The theme of A Talent for Friendship was the value of friendship and money, and deciding which is more valuable. One character, Joy Taylor (played by Alex Hagen), helps Annabelle (played by

Samantha Keuhl) discover both.

The second play, whose longer name was Junie B. Jones and the Silly Smelly School Bus, features Junie Beatrice Jones during her first day of kindergarten on a big yellow spaceship-bus. Along the way she is joined by a delightful cast of characters that includes Mr. Wood, played by Samantha Barr, and Jimʼs dad, played by Paige Mathieson.

Director Lawrence Mahusky of Stepping into the Spotlight is joined by this year’s cast of students who made the collection of children’s plays possible.

2012 graduates earn their send-off at Renfrew Collegiate Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Thirty-three students at Renfrew Collegiate Institute are Ontario scholars.

They, along with all graduates, were honoured as the school held its graduation ceremony for 2012 last Thursday evening in the Grant Gymnasium.

Principal Alanna Emon welcomed students and all guests to RCIʼs 106th graduation ceremony.

“I am so proud of this yearʼs group of graduates, and I hope you are proud of yourselves for reaching this milestone in your lives,” the principal said.

“You have worked hard for this moment. I came to RCI the year you began Grade 9, and I have watched you mature into one of the most outstanding cohorts I have had the pleasure to know,” Emon added.

“In the classrooms and on the playing fields, locally, provincially and even nationally, you have been a force to be reckoned with. But perhaps more importantly, you are one of the most genuine, caring groups of young people imaginable.”

Emon thanked the teaching staff “for always having the time, patience and energy for our students, both in the classroom and out. I donʼt think there is a school anywhere which has a group of teachers who dedicate so much of their own time with their students, and I believe they do this, graduates, because it is such a pleasure working with you.”

Emon thanked the families of the graduating students, office staff, the Renfrew community for always supporting RCI. She also thanked school trustee Marjorie Doering and vice-principal Dave Bishop .

Emon also sent out a huge thank-you to “a dedicated group always behind the scenes, but essential to RCIʼs smooth operation, our custodians.”

Emon quoted New York Times columnist David Brooks: “The purpose of life

is not to find yourself. Itʼs to lose yourself,” to which Emon added, “Graduates, you have been prepared well, and you are ready to leave us. May you lose yourself in life, every day, for the rest of your lives.

“Keep in touch, and best of luck in the future,” Emon concluded.

VALEDICTORIAN

Meghan Forgie was this yearʼs valedictorian, and addressed her peers in the class of 2012.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, parents, board and staff members, as well as my fellow classmates.

Well, we’ve made it. We’ve made it through four or five years of high school. Tonight we celebrate the 752 or 940 days that we’ve spent here at RCI together.

For some of us, it’s the last time we will be here as students as we open new chapters in our lives. And for others, another year here will allow the new Grade 9s to learn the ropes from old pros. This place has changed us all from the nervous Grade 9s who bunched up the hallways and walked on the wrong side of the stairs to the accomplished and aspiring graduates we are today. It hasn’t been the concrete, wood and nails that has changed us, but the friendships, teachers and Raider Spirit.

Of course we learned a lot of lessons in class, but we’ve gained just as much from the memories we’ve made, succeeding academically and athletically, excelling in the arts and trades, celebrating the good times and fighting through the rough times. As the class of 2012, we’ve been

through a lot and we have some great stories, some of which we can actually share.

We were thrown into the Raider way of life, having our first pigskin parade in September of 2008. From that first September month, we were given the opportunity to join Blue Zone, organizing food drives, student council planning semi-formals or caught with a camera in the yearbook committee. Mrs. Foohey, the talent scout that she is, hunted down the best to lead our award-winning drama productions and band performances. Those band members will never forget how hot it actually got on that bus trip to Chicago!

No matter how good you were at flying under the radar, Mme. Mottershead would find the runners and field athletes and all four feet of her would make sure the cross-country and track teams were headed to the finish line.

The nordic ski team did not hit the slopes, but they did continuously make OFSAA appearances. Ms. Wilson and Mr. Noack broke records as they were both head coaches of OFSAA basketball teams.

To the senior boys basketball team, is your banner really prettier than the senior girls’?

Of course, the football team dominated and did win a championship throughout our high school careers. The boys’ hockey team had some crazy adventures with one of the best trainers! The women and men also held up some great records in volleyball, soccer and badminton.

Those who participated in Options showed impressive culinary, carpentry, masonry, esthetic and mechanical skills.

We heard lots of stories from our Kenyan travellers and We Day, from Joe Jonas and Nelly Furtado, to the hippos and feeding the monkey. Our most recent success was raising $120,000 in one night for the Canadian Cancer Society at our sixth annual Relay for Life. Finally, we topped off our graduating year dressed to impress at the Enchanted Garden prom.

Meghan Forgie was Valedictorian at Renfrew Collegiate’s 2012 Graduation Ceremony Thursday evening.

I have faith in the future, because my fellow graduates and the main characters of the stories I just shared are the leaders of the future. Of course, we did not make it here without help.

Thank you to the teachers and educators who have taught us and reminded us of what we needed to do to keep the doors to our dreams open and walk across this stage tonight. We will never forget dissections with Mr. Daber, methane gas bubbles in chemistry, Mr. Poirier’s classes, hairdressing or foods, tech with Mr. Donohue, smiles from Mr. and Mrs. Wright, the support we received from guidance and resource as well as the annual honour luncheons.

Thank you to the parents, guardians and siblings who have encouraged us, loved us, and picked us up off the ground. So it only seems fit-

ting to celebrate this success together.

Congratulations graduates!

Remember the experiences that have made you who you are, live your life to the fullest, and NEVER lose sight of your dreams. Don’t forget the journey we’ve shared from minor niners to graduates tonight.

This adventurous group will accomplish more than we can even imagine right now!

As someone once said, “Work your hardest. Think your smartest. Love your fullest. Smile your brightest.

Dream your biggest. Be your greatest!”

My fellow graduates, the class of 2012!

The 2012 graduating class bid farewell to St. Josephʼs High School last week, but not without first sharing memories and honouring achievements.

In her valedictory address, Sydney Yakaback used humour to reflect on the road to and through high school.

She told her classmates they can leave “knowing that because of this place, we will move on to bigger and better things in our lives; new friendships, better jobs, more independence, and a very bright future for all of you.”

“We entered this school as shy, unconfident and puny grade nines, but we are leaving here grown up, confident and united as we all take the next wonderful steps in life together,” she said.

Prior to the awards ceremony, Eucharist was celebrated for the Eric Watters was chosen, by the gradu- intentions of the graduates by ates, as the finest student in the class of Father Ryan Holly at St. Francis Xavier Parish.

Roses and thorns were the theme behind valedictorian Louise Bellevilleʼs address at the Renfrew Adult High School and Continuing Education program graduation June 25 at the Renfrew Recreation Centre.

Thorns are the challenges along lifeʼs way, but there are roses as well, she told her fellow classmates.

The single mother of three spoke of the lifeʼs path that brought her to Renfrew and her daughterʼs encouragement for her to go back to school after job prospects fell through.

“I always remember my mom and dad asking me to please get my Grade 12.

Well, mom and dad, it took me over 40 years, but I finally did it. I love you, and this piece of paper is for you both,” she said.

Belleville praised teachers Peggy McLeese and Marc Fournier and the school itself.

“This school is like everyoneʼs second home, It is a place to socialize, but, more importantly, itʼs a place to learn.”

And to her fellow classmates: “Keep up the good work, enjoy life and remember, tonight, we all see many roses through a few thorns.”

Prior to the address, trustee Marg Doering brought greetings from the Renfrew County District School Board and presented the Ontario secondary school

Admaston-Bromley recycling program gets a boost peter.clark@metroland.com

Admaston-Bromley Township residents Robert and Michelle Reid addressed council June 25.

They asked council to support their Hay Solar FIT applications to construct two new farm buildings and solar installations on two lots in the township.

“The buildings will be a great asset to our farm operation by providing storage space for equipment and hay,” Robert Reid said.

Under a FIT contract, the farm building takes about a week to construct while the solar installation will take another week to install.

The Reids must make a lease agreement with Hay Solar, who will look after the application.

CIF GRANT

Derek Shields, Haley Gale and Marissa Mulligan were

hired through the townshipʼs application to the Continuous Improvement Fund (CIF) at a total cost of $9,000, which includes promotion and education for blue box recycling in the township.

The students will work this summer at one of the three landfill sites in the township.

The CIF grant was approved for $5,400, which covers 60 per cent of the studentsʼ wages and advertising.

In May, the township also received a grant for $970 from the Ontario Electronic Stewardship.

These funds were used to purchase a sign for the Osceola Landfill Site and advertising to promote AdmastonBromleyʼs recycling program for electronics.

It is hoped that with continued recyling efforts, the ratio of household waste diverted from the landfill site will increase, along with WDO funding for next year, council noted.

Local MPP John Yakabuski presents a certificate of appreciation on behalf of David Brown and fellow volunteers after the Martin Cemetery dedication ceremony.

Cemetery work, with pride Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

She says initial efforts to restore the cemetery began at least 25 years ago with her dad, whose name was also James Martin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;ItĘźs a second attempt (to restore the cemetery),â&#x20AC;? said Ruth.

She recalls her dad working with one of the Russells and with provincial grants for restoring pioneer cemeteries.

But then apparently the grant money ran out, and the restoration efforts ended too.

A second restoration of Martin Cemetery is certainly welcomed, says Ruth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;ItĘźs just great that people are reaching back through time, trying to recognize their past and where they came from, and whom they came from.â&#x20AC;?

Restoration of broken tombstones will continue with the help of donations. A total of $305 was donated the day of the dedication ceremony. â&#x20AC;&#x153;WeĘźve collected close to $2,000, so IĘźm quite pleased,â&#x20AC;? said Brown. For about $300 per tombstone, several tombstones have been, and will be, restored.

Many donations come from relatives of those buried in the cemetery. Proper fencing has also been put in place with the assistance of donated labour and materials. Those interested in supporting the project can contact Brown at 4321211, or Horton CAO Mackie McLaren at 432-6271. He is the townshipĘźs resource person for the Martin Cemetery volunteer working group.

Horton takes â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;potentially dangerous dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; action Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Despite Dave RoblinĘźs insistence that the family dog, Drakko, is a friendly creature with a bark but no bite, Horton Township is responding to complaints of residents living near the intersection of River and Castleford roads.

At the June 5 meeting of Horton council, a petition for peace, quiet and safe living was presented with signatures from 21 people in 15 households. At the July 3 meeting, after seeking legal advice, council unanimously passed a motion that calls for two actions.

One, advise the owner (who is actually RoblinĘźs teenage son Chris) of the neighboursĘź concerns and fear that the dog (a Doberman) will attack them as they walk past the property. Two, council has instructed CAO Mackie 22 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, July 5, 2012

McLaren to update the townshipĘźs animal control bylaw with current terminology, deďŹ nitions and stiffer ďŹ nes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;IĘźm now keeping the dog more inside and heĘźs only outside with me,â&#x20AC;? until the propertyĘźs fencing is ďŹ xed, Roblin told The Mercury.

The 1990 bylaw already includes a ďŹ ne of $155 for having a â&#x20AC;&#x153;potentially dangerous dog,â&#x20AC;? but solicitor Janet Bradley informed Horton staff that a snarling and growling dog inside a fence does not make the dog potentially dangerous. She suggested Horton change its deďŹ ntion of a potentially dangerous dog.

Roblin and front-ofďŹ ce staff have not spoken to each other about the dog. However, animal control ofďŹ cer Stephanie Jacob has visited the dogĘźs home and spoken to Roblin at least twice.

The June 10 rededication ceremony at the 19th-century Martin Cemetery is in the history books, as a small group of volunteers look forward to ongoing restoration of the historical icon.

The cemetery is located atop the hill on Whitton Road, across from the St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church cemetery and about 200 metres from Gillan Road.

ItĘźs also the oldest cemetery in Renfrew County, says Horton Township resident Dave Brown, who has spearheaded the cemeteryĘźs restoration with help from a few other key volunteers.

About 50 people attended the June 10 ceremony led

by Rev. Lori Jensen of the Lochwinnoch Presbyterian Church. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was beautiful, it was fantastic,â&#x20AC;? said Brown. He also noted that MPP John Yakabuski did a â&#x20AC;&#x153;wonderful tribute to everyone involved, past and present,â&#x20AC;? with the cemeteryĘźs restoration project.

The ceremony also featured welcoming remarks by Horton Mayor Don Eady, the singing of hymns Mansion on the Hilltop and Amazing Grace, Reg LaventureĘźs historical summary of the cemetery, and Rev. JensenĘźs benediction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ceremony was a chance to rejuvenate interest in keeping the cemetery in good repair and appearance,â&#x20AC;? said Laventure.

That afternoon, MPP Yaka-

buski presented a certiďŹ cate of appreciation that acknowledged Brown and fellow volunteers for being â&#x20AC;&#x153;instrumental in initiating this restoration project. It is important that we ensure the historical preservation of this cemetery to honour the ďŹ nal resting place of those interned here.â&#x20AC;?

The cemetery was formally established in 1837, but Brown says Catholic WomenĘźs Institute documentation shows people were buried on the site as early as about 1818.

Brown, 74, has had a long interest in cemeteries that has included visits to restored cemeteries in Europe, where cemetery restoration days are more common.

Brown, who has lived in the township since 2005, says he was disgusted with the condition of Martin Cemetery when he drove by it for the ďŹ rst time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to do something.

There were broken tombstones all over the place.â&#x20AC;?

Since efforts to restore the cemetery began about two years ago, Brown says volunteers, donations and paid restoration of the tombstones have helped improve the cemeteryĘźs appearance.

Donors have included such people as Ruth Martin of Renfrew. Her grandfather, James Martin, is buried in the cemetery after dying from the ďŹ&#x201A;u epidemic around 1920. Ruth says he was a politician and a gentleman farmer who farmed cattle, sheep and crops that even included grapes.

Several area ďŹ shing derbies have been scheduled to take advantage of the free-ďŹ shing period. The annual Calabogie Bass Derby runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. this Saturday, July 7.

The derby headquarters will be Barnet Cottage.

Who decides if we are successful or failing? Is it society, family, friends? Or is it how we view ourselves in our own eyes? Some people say we only fail if we keep repeating the same mistake over and over again never learning from our mistakes. Others think that if everything is not perfect it is impossible to be successful.

I have failed at many things over the years, jobs, friendships, ďŹ nances but the worst of all is the few times I have failed myself. I think having

KIMBERLEY

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;SHAUGHNESSY Marketing Manager Island View Retirement Suites

strong values about what is right for YOU is important as well as developing strong boundaries about what is acceptable and what is nonnegotiable can go a long way to ensuring success in your own eyes.

When I asked some of the men and women who live at Island View what their biggest failures were and what they learned from them, I received a variety of different answers.

One woman very much regrets the time a few years ago when she hit a car in a parking lot and left the scene.

The worst part of the incident for her was the fact that her children were in the car, witnessed the event as well as her response to it. For her, the important lesson learned was the value she holds in being a positive role model for her children. From then on she realized her kids were always watching and would need to accept mistakes as a part of life and would beneďŹ t from positive examples of how to cope with mistakes in a calm and respectful manner.

She realizes the importance for both her kids and herself.

Another resident conďŹ ded in me that one of his biggest failures was his difďŹ culty caring for his wife in her failing health. As her needs surpassed his ability to cope, he suffered from panic attacks and his health deteriorated so badly that he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t manage any longer. He learned from the experience that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ok to ask for help and realized that sometimes you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do everything all on your own.

Ultimate failure is the inability to learn from mistakes.

When we recognize these experiences as opportunities to learn, choose not to hide them away out of fear and embarrassment and are willing to share our missteps with others that is when the real learning can take place. Some call this wisdom.

Market times correction

The Renfrew FarmersĘź Market is open from 7 a.m. to noon each Saturday at the Renfrew Fairgrounds, not both Saturday and Sunday as indicated in last weekĘźs Renfrew Mercury.

It is the Renfrew Flea Market, which was the subject of a photo on the same page, that is open both Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 220 Carswell St. As well, market chairperson Agnes Walker notes the farmersĘź market opens at 7 a.m. (not 8 a.m.) for the people who come or go off shift work, and for people who want to head to the cottage.

So I was giving some thought to failure, not the most uplifting topic but something that has been on my mind recently. I have a friend who has to take an unexpected test and is having a mild mental breakdown, worried they may fail. It got me thinking how we often use arbitrary measures created by others to judge ourselves and how we allow these measures to deďŹ ne our achievements as a success or failure. A good friend of mine chose to home school her children for this very reason and it was the kids who wanted to experience school in the traditional sense that led to her relinquishing her teacher status and placing her children in the local school. Both are thriving in their own special way.

Mill Music in Renfrew is sad to announce the passing of their Store Mascot and beloved friend Bo Bo will be sadly missed by the family and by the many people who had the pleasure of meeting him.

Eganville’s Bishop heading to the London Olympics Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

A very focused and nervous Melissa Bishop of Eganville stepped to the starting line just before 3:10 p.m. in Calgary last Saturday. She didnʼt have to win the race, she didnʼt even have to run a specific time, but she had to finish in the top three to realize her dream of qualifying for the 2012 Olympic Games in the womenʼs 800 metres.

Just over two minutes later, Bishop was celebrating a second-place finish behind Lemlem Ogbasilassie of Montreal. She had clinched a berth on the Canadian Olympic team along with third-place finisher Jessica Smith of North Vancouver.

The nail-biting was over, following a pedestrian pace to start the womenʼs 800-metre final that several thought would be fast, to allow potential qualifiers Diane Cummins of Victoria and Ogbasilassie a chance to make the team.

Bishop and Smith had already broken the Athletics Canada A standard of 1:59.90, so they were in the driverʼs seat. But with a slow pace and the tactical positioning that goes on in the two-lap race, favourites can easily be eliminated.

But not this day.

Bishop, 23, followed the fieldʼs time of about 68 seconds for the first lap, then started to move up from sixth place in the tightlybunched pack.

“I was pretty comfortable where I was,” she said later. “I wasnʼt panicking at any point.”

Everyone started their kick with about 200 metres remaining, as Bishop continued to move up. She held second place, off the shoulder of Ogbasilassie, as they entered the homestretch.

“When she came down the straightaway, I thought she should be okay,” said her dad, Doug, who was watching from the stands.

Those runners maintained their positions, finishing in 2:07:37 and 2:07.56, as Smith just held off a charging Cummins for the coveted third spot, 2:07.70 to 2:07.79.

A summer earlier, Bishop deliberated over whether to pursue her masterʼs degree studies, or take a year off to try to qualify for the Olympics. Even Canadian Running magazine didnʼt mention her as an Olympic candidate, calling the Olympic A standard a long shot for the contenders.

But Bishopʼs decision to train full-time paid off, as she just eclipsed that A standard.

The Olympic trials finished Saturday, when

some big stars stumbled. Foremost in that category were two world-class 100-metre hurdlers.

Perdita Felicien false-started out of contention.

And Priscilla Lopes-Schliep hit a hurdle and finished of the top three, despite expectations that she might battle for an Olympic medal.

“It hasnʼt really sunk in. Iʼm very excited about everything that has been going on,” said Bishop after she and 25 other Canadians were named to the Canadian track and field Olympic team Sunday.

During the breakfast for athletes and their families, special guests included Olympic decathlete and journalist Michael Smith and Canadian chef de mission and past Olympic swimming star Mark Tewksbury.

“Four years ago, at the Olympic trials, I didnʼt even make the final,” said Bishop after becoming an Olympian.

The excitement for her extended to the stands Saturday, where Bishopʼs entourage included family and friends from the University of Windsor, Renfrew County and Calgary.

Among those present were her parents, Doug and Alison, and brother Jonathan, coach Dennis Fairall, former Eganville residents from the Merrick family who now live in Calgary, and Aunt Donna Hawkins, who now has more newspaper clippings to hang at Dr. Roubleʼs dental office in Renfrew.

“Itʼs so exciting now,” said Melissaʼs dad.

“For all the stress, the result makes it all worthwhile. “I donʼt think itʼs really sunk in, but thereʼs times it (what sheʼs accomplished) brings tears to my eyes.”

“Man, itʼs exciting,” added Alison. “Weʼre just so thrilled. Sheʼs fulfilled her dream. Sheʼs talked about this since she was a little girl.”

At the same time, she hopes her daughterʼs rise in the world of track and field motivates other Ottawa Valley kids in a sport that “seems to be a dying thing in high school.

“I think this will be a real inspiration to get out and try something different (like track and field).”

With her first Olympic race nearly a month away, Aug. 8, Bishop said sheʼd love to reach the semi-finals or set a personal best.

But right now, the rookie Olympian said she wants to extend a huge thank-you to people in the Valley for all their support, through emails, phone calls and participation in the trivia night or run-for-Melissa runs.

“I wish I was there to see everybody. Itʼs crazy that so many people have been behind

Melissa Bishop powers down the homestretch to realize her dream of becoming an Olympian. She finished second, ahead of Diane Cummins, left, and Jessica Smith, right, in the Olympic trials’ 800-metre final. Smith also qualified for the 2012 Olympic team.

Valley joins as one when Olympic dreams turn to reality Qualifying for the Olympics in any sport is never easy, but in recent years, Renfrew County athletes have had their share of representation in the worldʼs biggest sporting event.

Renfrewʼs Tony Iob made the grade with the Italian national hockey team in 2006, and whitewater kayaker Sarah Boudens of Round Lake Centre wore the Canadian colours in 2008.

We also followed kayaker Klara MacAskill, who competed for Can-

PETER CLARK PETER’S PUTTERINGS ada on the water in two Summer Olympics, 1992 and 1996.

Now, we look forward to following the quick footsteps of another Ottawa Valley Olympian.

Eganville middle-distance runner Melissa Bishop will be competing for Canada in the womenʼs 800 me-

tres. Sheʼll take to the track for the heats on Aug. 8 in London.

Hopefully, her success will continue through the following days. *** In 2003, the Ottawa Senators selected Ottawa 67ʼs captain Will Colbert in the NHL Entry Draft.

Ladies Intersectionals hosted by Renfrew July 9

Record amount raised for RVH Heather Coughlin

Supporters of the 14th annual Caring for Tomorrow charity golf tournament scored a hole-in-one by raising a record-breaking $51,250 for Renfrew Victoria Hospital.

All of the proceeds from the event held on Friday, June 8 at the Renfrew Golf Club will be directed to the hospitalʼs digital mammography Fund.

Organizers are very grateful for the continued support from the community — those who participated in the tournament, sponsorship from local companies, plus the individuals and local businesses who donate items for the auctions.

“Our silent and live auctions raised well over $10,000,” notes Patrick Cayen, chair of the tournament committee.

He sends a big thank you to Protyre for donating a unique “Snap On Tools” BBQ which looks like a tool box on the bottom, with the highest bid of $2,200 placed by Sean Miller.

The always sought-after Senators package raised $1,900 during the live auction after dinner. Golfers even had a chance to spend time on the greens with Senators centreman Zenon Konopka, who was one of the participants

in the golf tournament, says Cayen.

“We had 40 teams playing and it turned out to be a perfect day,” says Diana Freitag, Foundation co-ordinator and committee member.

The entire committee sends heartfelt thanks to all of the major supporters again for making this yearʼs tournament the best yet—Renfrew RBC, Renfrew Home Hardware, OʼNeil and Company, Scotiabank, Renfrew Golf Club, Sports Renfrew, ETM, Protyre, ABI Business Solutions, Ottawa Valley Insurance, Floors First, VIA Rail, Martin Cycle & Small Engine, and Ottawa Valley Physiotherapy.

“Since we will be having our 15th anniversary tournament next year, we have already begun planning for this landmark day of golf and fun.

It will be special!” assures Cayen.

To date, the Caring for Tomorrow Charity Golf Tournament has raised more than $450,000 for the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Foundation, which goes directly towards equipment and upgrades at the hospital.

“It all goes to a worthy cause every year,” comments

Kim Vandewouw, Lesley Murray From the Ladies Tee:

The weather continues to be favourable as ladies at the Renfrew Golf Club enjoy each otherʼs friendship, while trying to improve their game. We give our thanks to The Korner Hutch for being the sponsor of Ladies Day on June 20.

“Last year we kicked off the digital mammography fund with the all of the funds raised from the Caring for Tomorrow tournament and just a year later, we are well past the half-way mark in our fundraising campaign for digital mammography.”

Forty athletes nominated to Canadian team Athletics Canada announced Sunday the names of the 40 athletes who have been put forth to the Canadian Olympic Committee for nomination to the 2012 Canadian Olympic team “This is the largest Olympic team Athletics Canada has selected in recent history,” said Alex Gardiner, Athletics Canadaʼs Olympic Games head coach.

“The trials in Calgary proved to be the crucible we wanted to test our readiness for London. Competition was fierce and results have strengthened our confidence that we can have four or five athletes challenge for the podium and another half dozen achieve a top eight or finalist position.”

Athletes leading the team into London include such medal hopefuls as hammer thrower Dylan Armstrong of Kamloops, B.C., heptathlete Jessica Zelinka of London, Ont., and sprinter-hurdler Phylicia George of Markham, Ont., Olympic rookies include 800-metre

runners Melissa Bishop of Eganville and Jessica Smith of North Vancouver.

Just a few of the other team members are hammer thrower Sultana Frizell of Perth, 100-metre sprinting brothers Justyn and Ian Warner of Markham, Ont., marathoner Eric Gillis of Antigonish, N.S., pole vaulter Melanie Blouin of Quebec City and javelin thrower Curtis Moss of Burnaby, B.C. “Our professional approach to athlete preparation supported by our major partner Own the Podium is proving out,” said Gardiner. “We have a world class team of coaches, scientists and medical experts keeping the team healthy and focused.”

“These athletes have earned their spots on the 2012 Canadian Olympic Team,” said 2012 Canadian Olympic Team chef de mission Mark Tewksbury.

“This group will make Canadians proud in London this summer.”

“Congratulations to all the 2012 Canadian Olympic Team nominees,” said

A good battle at the top Peter Clark

Upgrading to digital mammography equipment is a $700,000 capital investment for which there is no provincial funding. Although RVH was able to purchase and implement digital mammography services earlier this spring with funds from reserves, the fundraising campaign continues.

Canadian Olympic Committee president Marcel Aubut.

“Your hard work and commitment to excellence has paid off. I look forward to watching you compete and cheering you on in London in just a few weeks.”

The naming of the Olympic squad followed just two days after five athletes were inducted into Athletics Canadaʼs Hall of Fame. Those athletes were sprinter and middle-distance runner Charmaine Crooks of Vancouver, high jumper Milt Ottey of Toronto, racewalker Guillaume LeBlanc of Sept-Iles, Que., decathlete Dave Steen of New Westminster, B.C., and sprinter Bruny Surin of Montreal.

Also inducted were Bob Adams of Saskatoon in the builder category, Lyle Sanderson of Saskatoon in the coach category, and three others in memoriam.

Those were sprinter Myrtle Cook, coach Fred Foote and sprinter Harry Jerome, 100-metre bronze medallist in the 1964 Olympics.

NATURE

Scarlet tanager: this black-winged red bird is a rare treat An email from Matawatchan.

Hi Jim and Ila: While walking in the bush behind our house yesterday I saw a scarlet tanager. The first I have ever seen. It was a very rare treat.

Hazel Warren Matawatchan Thank you for your email, Hazel.

You are certainly correct in calling it a rare treat when you see a male scarlet tanager. The black wings are a startling contrast to the scarlet body, thus people often call this bird a black-winged red bird, It is also startling when the birds begin to moult in late August and take on their winter plumage. There are lime green feathers mixed in with the scarlet ones. If you do not know the difference you think you have seen a new species.

The female tanager normally lays four eggs; incubation time is 13 to 14 days by the female alone. The male feeds the female while she is incubating the eggs. Both parents brood the young during cold rainy weather.

REPORT INSPIRING AND TROUBLING

This report (The State of CanadaĘźs Birds) is unprecedented. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Its ďŹ ndings are both troubling and inspiring,â&#x20AC;? said Bird Studies Canada president George Finney. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The report is now available online.

To obtain an electronic copy, visit the State of CanadaĘźs Birds website.

Bird Studies Canada members will receive a printed copy of the full report in early July, with their summer

JIM FERGUSON SCENE FROM THE HAWKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S EYE issue of BirdWatch Canada.

SANDHILL CRANES NEST

Mike Quilty called to report a pair of sandhill cranes and their chick at the Quilty farm on Highway 132.

It is rare to see the chicks because the parents normally raise only one, rarely two, and they are very diligent in their protection of them. Sandhill cranes were extirpated from southwestern Ontario in the 1920s but are slowly returning to their old habitats.

The adult birds are taller than a round bale of hay. They ďŹ&#x201A;y with their neck outstretched and legs dangling behind. Flight has a snapping upstroke and a slower down stroke which distinguishes it from other long-necked birds. They walk, run or ďŹ&#x201A;y, but never perch. There is no mistaking this species.

Mike also saw a northern harrier surveying the ďŹ elds looking for small mammals.

SONGS TELL ALL

Male birds sing to advertise their ďŹ ner qualities. Female birds answer to advertise their acceptance. Mated pairs carry on conversations in tones too soft for us to hear and chicks cry in tones that urge the parents to pro-

vide food for them.

Mary Turcotte had been hearing a very persistent song but was unable to see the bird to identify it. The witchity, witchity song of the common yellow throat can be repeated more than 25 times in a single series and was the song Mary was hearing.

The black mask along and the song are the main ďŹ eld marks of this species. It is very small bird with a big voice.

A great crested ďŹ&#x201A;ycatcher inspected one of the Turcotte nest boxes, but has not as yet made a commitment to nest.

UNCOMMON WARBLERS

Adam Smith, PhD, a biostatistician with the Canadian Wildlife Service, was conducting the annual BBS (bird breeding study) on his route near Springtown and was surprised to see one warbler he had not seen on the route before and many specimens of another. There were lots of magnolia warblers, more than he remembers ever counting in the past, and two Canada warblers a species he had not encountered on the route before.

It is a pleasure to have Adam in our area to ďŹ eld any questions we may have about birding in Renfrew County. Adam is from Douglas.

THEY BEG FOR FOOD

Adult birds are bringing their young to our feeders and showing them where the food is. Once the

A nest of northern harriers in Horton Township. young have left the nest, their calls are loud and rough, enabling the parents to ďŹ nd them easily.

The young birds will also crouch down, hold their mouth agape and call continually.

It is thought that these calls are too high pitched to be heard by predators. Alarm calls are thinner and more difďŹ cult to locate.

When the young mature and be-

come independent, their calls become much like adult calls. Although they do not acquire the full song of the adult, it is recognizable for that species.

Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, RR 5, Renfrew, Ontario K7V 3Z8. Phone 613-432-2738 or email jamesh@ nrtco.net

Did You Know…

Software points clients in right direction

that Nature provides all answers to our health? We just need to observe and understand nature’s principles and put them into the right context…and…voila…

This is what Heilkunst teaches throughout your individual healing journey. It’s wonderful and amazing to have your “Domino stones” fall into shape and unfold your own evolution.

Adapted Computer Software has clients ʻpointedʼ in the right direction.

Clients at Bonnechere Manor Adult/Senior Day program are finding computer technology much easier to use with the use of an adapted software program called Pointer Ware.

The adapted software, which is already in use at the Renfrew site and soon to be implemented at the Beachburg and Eganville sites, allows the clients to simply touch the screen rather than maneuvering the mouse or utilizing the keyboard.

In particular this software is beneficial for those individuals with physical limitations that make accessing technology a challenge.

The program is extremely user friendly and takes the fear away that many individuals have with embracing new technology.

“It enhances the different programs. Itʼs a wonderful thing for the day program,” day program recreation programmer Stella Forrest said.

“Two people can team together rather than sitting around watching TV. “It brings more opportunities. They can email family members; use the Internet for information,” Forrest added.

For more information about the new computer program or the Bonnechere Manor Adult Senior Day program, contact Erin Wilson, Bonnechere Manor Client Outreach Programs Supervisor at the Bonnechere Manor at ewilson@ countyofrenfrew.on.ca or 613432-4873, ext. 1186.

1937: Strikes settled at Renfrew Woollen Mills and Renfrew Textiles cation. There were god musical selections on coronet, violin and piano, songs by the pupils and some sports for the younger folks. During the evening Miss Leitch was presented with a kindly worded address and a very pretty toilet set; ice cream and cake were served and altogether a pleasant evening spent by the seventy or eighty who gathered together.

residence outside Burnstown. The company began the end of 1975, and in the first year, 50 boats were built.

SO FAR SO GOOD: At the hospital board meeting last Thursday evening, spokesman for the finance committee, reported that for the first four months of 1977, Renfrew Victoria Hospital is operating within its budget. “If everything works out very well, we think we will be close to the projected 15 months Ministry of Health budget,” reported the spokesman. In the first four months, the hospital spent $1,311,313, less than their budgeted amount of $1,345,306.

Even though the finance committee questioned aspects of the Ministry of Healthʼs spending formula, it was agreed that the hospital “could live within the Ministry guidelines and not appeal the budget.

FROM THE OLD FILES

CURY OUT EARLIER: Thursday of this week being Dominion Day and a public holiday, the current issue of The Mercury is published a little earlier than usual, so that the staff may be able to join with the rest of the population in observance of the day. Nothing in the way of demonstrations has been prepared, so that there will be picnics and fishing and excursion parties; also the entertainment of visitors; in all a quiet day.

LOW CUP WON BY TOWN RIFLEMEN: Town and country met in conflict on Wednesday, the 3rd, at the Rifle ranges, in competition for the Low Cup; and the town marksmen won by 24 points. The scoring 200, 500, 600, was as follows: W. Inglis 26 + 23 + 17 = 66, W. Robertson 30 + 30 + 27 = 87, C.K. Grigg 29 + 21 + 3 1 = 91, T. Roffey 29 + 20 + 17 = 66, W. Miller 27+27+23=77.

SOCIAL IN HORTON: The pupils of SS No. 5, Horton held a social on Mrs Frank Burtonʼs lawn on Friday evening last; to do honor to their teacher, Miss Leitch of Cornwall, who after two years faithful work among them, is leaving to accept a more lucrative position after the va-

themselves in a most exemplary manner. There was not the slightest evidence of hate or destructiveness and all deliberations were carried on with calmness and consideration.

Congratulations should also be extended to Mr. D.N. Campbell of the Provincial Labor department, whose diplomacy and good judgement did much toward bringing about the settlement; and we do not overlook the legal gentlemen who advised the strikersʼ committees. All endeavours were to secure a peaceful and useful settlement. To the owners and managers of these industries there is also praise for they met their employees in a conciliatory attitude with the result that all are happily back to work.

There are now better understandings and closer relationships between employer and employee and the local managerial officials. Long may they prevail.

McDougall Mill Museum: History can colour your world McDougall Mill Museum

Since our last articl,e a good example to highlight the importance of history came up here at the museum.

Recently we faced the problem of not having enough history. It may seem strange to think of history as something that is important and necessary because many just look at it as story telling, and going to a museum as just entertainment, but history is something that puts the entire world into a new perspective.

The case we faced this week was finding an old photo portrait tucked away in the museum and having no background information on it. From looking at the portrait we can guess about the time period and maybe gain a few other facts, but without knowing who the portrait is of, the photo loses a lot of its meaning.

With no story behind it, this portrait goes from holding the history of a person and an era gone by, to being just a frame on the wall that gives a very limited glimpse into the past.

Its history failed to pass on and as a result the photo lost a lot of its potential.

Those who do work to pass on the stories of the past, even in something as simple as a scrapbook, are doing a great service as they are making the present more enjoyable. Their work takes things like that old portrait and explains who is in the photo and who they were, making the impersonal, personal.

The reason places like the museum exist is to help make the world more personal and interesting.

When someone knows their history, things stand out in ways they didnʼt before. The clearing at the end of Railway Avenue is more than a gravel lot, but the remains of a bustling train station loading freight and passengers. The

Bonnechere River is more than a meagre waterway, but a once surging river choked with timber and powering some of Renfrewʼs first industries. Even strangers on the street gain more meaning when you know local history because you begin to see them as the descendants of the logdrivers, lumberjacks, farmers

and merchants who settled here long ago.

History makes everything you see a personal experience, instead of something you just blankly pass by and it can make even the most banal of things worth stopping to inspect.

The McDougall Mill Museum is designed to give a more

personal experience, whether you are visiting or living in the Valley.

It doesnʼt hurt to brush up on your Valley history, because doing so might make you notice something you would otherwise just pass by.

July 8 to 14 there is free admission for all seniors, so if you have some history you

want to pass on or are in the mood to pick some up, our

ARTS

Art in the Park July 14 Diana Wakely

Renfrew Art Guild

We are proďŹ ling artists who will be in the Art in the Park July 14 and 15 at Haramis Park in Renfrew. They were asked a number of questions like how did they get started in their ďŹ eld, what motivates them, and how do they work.

Hopefully the following will give you insight to these artists and their work.

Bright Lights to perform at Burnstownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Neat Cafe On July 10, Austin TexasĘź very own, The Bright Light Social Hour, will be in Burnstown to rock Neat Coffee Shop. Born out of a university art-rock collective, the band ďŹ rst gained attention in Austin from their incendiary live performances and inno-

vative vision of rock and roll.

Melding southern rock, hard dance, psychedelic blues and deep soul â&#x20AC;&#x201C; their debut fulllength album led to heightening critical acclaim, and a rare sweep of six awards at the SXSW 2011 Austin Music Awards â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which included

Band of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year. They are heading out across the country, even sharing the stage with Aerosmith and Big Sugar along the way.

Their debut album will be available in stores for the ďŹ rst time in Canada on July 3.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;From my childhood days my favourite pastime was colouring in my stacks of coloring books with my huge box of Crayola crayons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I took art as an option in high school and started taking oil painting lessons in Montreal shortly after I was married. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After moving to Mississauga I studied watercolour with Zolton Szabo for several years but I always went back to the oil and knife technique I learned in Montreal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since my teenage years I have been spending time around the Calabogie area and have always been drawn to the tall pine trees, shiny blue water and the general beauty of the countryside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These things give me my inspiration to start creating on canvas. I tend to be quite proliďŹ c when I am in the painting mood so my studio is often overďŹ&#x201A;owing with paintings waiting for a new home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year I will be exhibiting my work in July at the Renfrew Art GuildĘźs Art in the Park

in my own tent. I also expect to be showing paintings at the Calabogie Peaks Rib Fest in Aug.18 and 19 and the Calabogie Festival of the Senses at Barnet Park on Sept. 29 and 30. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My work can also be seen at DonohueĘťs Art and Frame in Renfrew, PollyĘťs lĘťil Shanty and the Lakeside CafĂŠ in Calabogie (along with Bogie Arts) and many local restaurants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been busy painting smaller acrylic paintings of our troops in Afghanistan (mainly in and around helicopters) and of our travels to Arizona as well as our local scenery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although due to health reasons I have not been teaching oil painting for a couple of years, I hope to get back to it soon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When not painting I enjoy spending time on my concert organ and living life on Calabogie Lake.

IN MEMORIAM

RYAN, Stephanie Her father’s little princess, Her mother’s baby girl, Her sister’s greatest confidante, Her brother’s cultured pearl.

A loving, caring, smiling girl.

A beauty from the start, The music she loved, her dearest friend, a country girl at heart.

Life is like the giant waves, That dip and curl and spin, We sometimes get caught up in that, and feel we just can’t win.

Why did those waves take her away?

I guess we’ll never know.

She had built a wall around herself, And let her troubles grow.

And now she’s in a greater place, In God’s loving gracious arms, An angel watching over us, A precious, priceless charm.

Love Mom, Dad, Cassie, Geoff and Family

STEPHANIE

Feb 22, 1981 - July 3, 2007 In the quiet darkness of the night, Brings out my greatest fears, Did you know how much you meant to me?

Then I cry my silent tears, I dream of you and look into your face, I see the one I knew before in another time and place.

What I would give to go back in time for just a little while.

So I could see you laugh again and see you smile.

Now the memories are all that’s left.

Such a permanent goodbye, And it seems, they will never stop those silent tears I cry.

It feels just like several days ago, We had you here with us, But instead it has been five long years, And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve yet to still adjust.

We miss your warm smile, Your laugh and that gentle voice, One more day would be enough.

If only we had the choice, Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be so very proud of us all, Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve each come so far, We know that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still with us though, Which helps us all to carry on, We know some day we will meet again, And our family will reunited on the other side.
