He later formed the Murray Reid Group but left the road in 1987 to perform with other bands and take over his father’s farm and plumbing business, both of which he still runs today. “His plumbing expertise is a legend in our township and surrounding area and his willingness to help a neighbor in need is truly an inspiration and a hard act to follow,” said Donohue. Reid’s love and concern for the environment resulted in his founding the Water Sciences Institute to study the effects of weather, biological and geological factors on water resources. “If you have a question about local history he will have an answer and a story to go along with it,” said Donohue. Reid battled throat cancer and was declared cancer free just this past May, the mayor explained.

MacDonald hope to catch fish among the weeds at Barnet Cottage Saturday at the Calabogie Fish and Game Club’s derby, held each summer during the province’s annual free family fishing week July 4-12. It isn’t clear if it’s the largest fish to be pulled from Calabogie Lake, but in mid-June locals say Jim Weatherall landed a 10-pound pickerel. The Douglas Lions Club hosts a free Kids Fishing Derby July 12 at the Douglas beach, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The Remuses, 2015 Seniors of the Year, are both retired teachers so their commitment and dedication to the education and enhancement of educational programs is second nature to them, said Donohue. “Wayne and Teresa have dedicated countless hours to the betterment and growth of our small but mighty Admaston-Bromley Public Library,” he said. Teresa has served on the library board and was instrumental in helping the library access a Trillium Grant to upgrade the library and bring it into the digital age with the Integrated Library System. “Both Wayne and Teresa were very hands-on with volunteers with the relocation process when the library had to pack up the old library building, relocate to the temporary digs and then move into the new library within St. Michael’s School,” said Donohue. The Remuses were members of the township’s emergency management committee in its infancy and laid the groundwork for the success and growth of the very necessary and vital municipal resource, he added. Teresa is an active member of the Pembroke Community Choir and Wayne is a director and board member of the Shaw Woods project, which is instrumental in the education of both young and old in the value of beauty of the outdoors. Junior Citizen of the Year Barber is an 18-year-old Grade 12 student of Renfrew Collegiate Institute who has maintained Renfrew County School Board Medallion honours for four years and is an active volunteer in both school and community activities. Barber is active with Grace United Church as an usher, Sunday school teacher assistant, reader and youth service leader, said Donohue. “Devon worked for three summers as a maintenance person at the Admaston Public Cemetery,” said Donohue. “He also volunteered to help with the construction of the Admaston Recreation outdoor rink by literally digging in the trenches.” Barber is a valued member of RCI’s Social Interaction Program (SIP), which brings together students from life skills and transitional classes with students in mainstream classes. He attended the Ontario Educational Leadership Camp, which proved beneficial in his role as vice president of the student council. Barber also chaired RCI’s Relay For Life committee, planning and organizing for a variety of events with a host of volunteers. He also volunteered his time and energy to the Miss Teen Ontario East Pageant. “Devon was awarded the citizenship award in elementary school and this seems to be the life path this exceptional young man has continued to follow,” said Donohue. Lynn Clelland, 4-H representative, received a special certificate on behalf of the organization, which is marking its 100th anniversary in Ontario this year.

Admaston-Bromley deputy-clerk treasurer introduced at council peter.clark@metroland.com

Admaston-Bromley has filled its vacant position of deputy-clerk treasurer. The township named Michelle Oatman to the post at its regular council meeting of July 2. Oatman had worked with the Town of Renfrew previously. The job at Admaston-Bromley became open in May when Sean Crozier stepped down to accept full-time employment with the Central Canada Hockey League’s Pembroke Lumber Kings. Thirty-three people applied for the deputy-clerk treasurer’s position, clerktreasurer Annette Louis noted. That number was narrowed down to two people for the interviewing process, which was conducted by Louis, Mayor

Michael Donohue and public works Superintendent Chris Kunopaski. “Michelle really impressed us with her presentation and with her answers to all of our questions in our interview,” Louis said. “She’s a great candidate and I think we’ve given her a good recommendation to council for your consideration to hire her as deputy-clerk treasurer,” Louis added. Oatman also stepped up and helped out with Canada Day festivities held at the Stone Road municipal building. “You are very dedicated and willing to help out with whatever we are doing, and we appreciate that,” Louis added. “Michelle was quite impressive through the whole process,” Mayor Donohue said, adding that he and

council are looking forward to working with Oatman. Kunopaski welcomed Oatman on board and appreciated her involvement in Canada Day, which is a busy time for Admaston-Bromley. “It was nice to meet everyone at Canada Day in a more relaxed setting, and seeing how your festivities take place,” Oatman said. “It was great to be welcomed and I was happy to be a part of the team on Canada Day. I look forward to helping all of mayor, council, staff and ratepayers in the future.”

Oatman’s employment officially begins July 27. Canada Day

In new business, Mayor Donohue brought out a card of appreciation for Louis, Kunopaski, administrative assistant Sharon Schruder and general office assistant Andrea Leclaire. “We are so grateful to each of you for making Canada Day 2015 another successful celebration. Your dedication, hard work and community spirit is greatly appreciated, and it wouldn’t happen without you,” the mayor

nize their citizens of the year on Canada Day,” he said. Admaston-Bromley had seven building permits in June for a total of $935,000. A three-sport summer fundraising tournament is scheduled for the July 17-18 weekend in Douglas. It will feature ball, volleyball and washers. The Douglas Recreation Committee will also host a barbecue on the Saturday of the event. Council will enjoy some time off for the rest of July. There will be no council meeting July 16. Council reconvenes Aug. 6. They will also meet Aug. 20.

read from the card. “It is signed by myself, Councillor LeGris, Councillor Hall, Councillor Quilty and Councillor Dick,” Donohue added. “I want to express my admiration for all of your effort,” the mayor said. “It makes us shine fairly well sitting up at the front, but there’s all the work that goes into getting us up there, so thank-you very much for your efforts.” Mayor Donohue added that Canada Day is annually a great day for everyone in the township. “I don’t know if there’s anyone else that does recog-

A six-month trial period started July 1, and runs through Dec. 31, 2015. Greater Madawaska has also terminated its arrangement with Bonnechere Valley Township for the use of its pound facility. That deal made sense when the two townships shared the services of the Bonnechere Valley animal control officer. However, the animal control officer resigned in August 2014 and Bonnechere Valley recently appointed Municipal Law Enforcement Services (MLES) for animal control, Greater Madawaska Land Use Planner Marko Cekic said at the township’s council meeting of June 23. During discussions with MLES, Cekic learned there was the potential to enter into the agreement with Renfrew.

It also serves as a cost-saving measure. Greater Madawaska pays Bonnechere Valley $285 per month, or $3,420 per year for the use of its pound facility. An additional fee of $10 per day per impounded dog for a maximum of seven days is also charged. The Renfrew agreement now costs the township $730 for the six-month trial period, or $121.66 per month. An additional $8 per day per impounded dog will be charged to Greater Madawaska. Public works

Public works manager Jamie Doering noted that the department prepared a tender to purchase two 2015 four-wheel drive one-ton trucks. Three tenders were returned, with Mack MacKenzie Motors of Renfrew being awarded the sale. In the 2015 capital budget, $50,000 was budgeted for each of the two trucks. MacKenzie’s tender came in a $73,547 plus HST. “There is still some money left over out of that original

budget,” Doering said. “We still have to purchase a couple more plows, and a couple of other small items. We should have a small surplus.” Public works also put out a tender for granular for various gravel roads in the township. About 8,800 tonnes of gravel is put on the roads yearly. Thomas Cavanagh Construction was the lone bidder at $63,272 plus HST. It falls within the operating budget of $85,000, Doering added. Public works put out three tenders for screened winter sand, for 5,500 tonnes stockpiled in Calabogie, 1,500 tonnes stockpiled in Matawatchan, and 500 tonnes stockpiled in Dacre. Cavanagh was again the only bidder with prices of $59,975, $26,272 and $7,200 respectively for the three sites. Money was allocated out of the $105,000 operating budget under sand and salt. In a separate tender, Doering informed council that grinding of construction and demolition (C&D) waste is done twice a year at Mt. St. Patrick and Black Donald. This year, there

was not enough C&D at Black Donald to do a spring grinding. Two quotes were picked up but only one was returned. National Grinding was awarded the contract at a cost of $9,232. The quote came in at the amount budgeted for 2015. It is discouraging that

the township did not receive more than one quote, Doering added. Recreation

Many summer programs are either ready to start, or are underway in Greater Madawaska Township. Recreation co-ordinator Jordan Wall informed council in his report that two Calabogie teams are entered

in the McNab-Braeside Minor Ball Association this summer. Both a 5-pitch and mite team are participating in the minor ball program, which started in May and runs through July. About 40 kids making up four teams are registered this year in minor soccer at Calabogie. Games take place Thursday evenings at Calabogie Highlands. See RECREATION, page 37

The Renfrew Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) investigated 215 calls for service during the previous week, including animals left in hot vehicles, family disputes and traffic complaints. Traffic Enforcement

With schools out and summer traffic heavier on area roads, the OPP are focusing their enforcement on drivers who are speeding, not wearing seatbelts, impaired by drugs or alcohol and driving while using handheld devices and distracted. Choosing to ignore those rules is resulting in the majority of deaths on Ontario roads. Slow down, buckle up, drive sober and put the phone and other distractions down. Concentrate on the important task at hand, driving.  Domestic Disputes

During the past seven days the Renfrew OPP responded to eight domestic disputes. No criminal offences occurred. Stunt Driving

On June 27 at noon an officer was patrolling on

Highway 17 near Scheel Drive west of Arnprior when a vehicle was observed on radar travelling at 148 km/hr in a posted 90 km/hr zone. After stopping the vehicle the driver was charged, and his licence was seized for seven days. As well, the vehicle was impounded for seven days. A 44-year-old man from Toronto was issued a summons for traffic court in Renfrew on Aug. 21, charged with Stunt Driving-excessive speed contrary to section 172(1) of the Highway Traffic Act.  Impaired Driver

On Saturday, June 27 at approx. 1:53 p.m. a citizen reported a possible impaired driver on Highway 17 heading westbound towards Arnprior. The suspect vehicle exited the highway on White Lake Road and officers stopped the vehicle north of the highway. The male driver had been drinking and failed a roadside alcohol test. After further breath tests at the detachment a 54-year-old male from McNab-Braeside Township was charged with driving over 80mgs.  He was released on a promise to appear in court in Ren-

frew on July 22.  Sexual Assault Charge

One male is facing charges after police investigated a reported sexual assault. The victim, a 15-year-old, reported being sexually assaulted by an adult relative in Arnprior on June 22, 2015.  Provincial Constable Colleen McGrath investigated and charged a 67-yearold male from Ottawa with sexual assault and sexual interference.  He was released on a promise to appear in

Don’t leave pets in vehicles

With warmer weather here, pet owners are encouraged to leave their pets at home. Parked cars quickly reach deadly temperatures for animals that don’t have the same ability to deal with rising temperatures that humans can withstand. Citizens who spot a dog or animal in a hot parked car are encouraged to

report the licence plate and description of the vehicle to the store so an announcement can be made inside the store. The Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA) has also set up a hotline to report animals in hot cars. Call them at 310-SPCA or 310-7722 anywhere in Ontario. For more information go to www.nohotpets. ca If the animal appears to be in distress call the SPCA at 310-7722 or the OPP at 1-888-3101122.

calling all athletes, Sport Lovers and coaches “concussions” Being fit and active is one of the best things in the world. Not only does it make us stronger to boost our immune system and fight off illnesses but it also sets free healthy endorphins…some “happy” feelings are welcoming side effects. For some, an active lifestyle is part of their day to day activity or job, for others it is a conscious effort to engage in daily physical activity or enjoying a membership in a fitness club and quite a few are a member of a team practicing a couple times a week. As with everything, there is always the potential of a flip side to all the benefits and enjoyments. In sports many athletes -young or old- endure some kind of injuries from minor pulled muscles, bruises and cuts to rather severe injuries like repetitive concussions, broken bones and severe falls or “hits” that can lead to major challenges. Today, I’d like to tell you a little story about a teenage girl I’ve been treating with such remarkable results, that every person suffering the after effects of a concussion should hear about. The girl was very involved in the Highschool Rugby Team for a few years and of course as one expects with this choice of “hands-on” sports, she got injured frequently. She suffered three major concussions, even with the loss of consciousness. She finally had to let go of the sport as she was unable to attend school for quite a while due to her severe headaches. Eventually she also suffered with Mononucleosis, which put even more of a strain on her already weakened system. She and her parents tried everything, from visits to CHEO, many appointments with her family physician and of course also the opportunity to see a Sports Medicine Doctor. Nothing however got rid of her headaches. Prior to her injuries she was a bright student, but now she couldn’t study and started falling behind…way behind…and her anxiety started to skyrocket as that wasn’t her and she usually was driven to do well…but she simply couldn’t. In a desperate attempt to help her daughter, her mom made an appointment and her Heilkunst treatment started. Even within the first month, her headaches had subsided to the point that she could attend school again. By the third month, she was back to normal and has continued to excelled in her academic development ever since. The treatment of her “Mono” was another welcoming side effect as Heilkunst treats the whole person. No athlete needs to suffer from any sport related injury! Heilkunst is effective and safe! Actually every coach and mom should have our “Athletes Emergency Kit” available at practices and games.

Lead on, graduates C

ongratulations graduates. It’s not an easy time to be shuttled off into the real world. However, it’s apparent most of you are a credit to your community and well prepared for the challenges ahead (thanks parents and teachers). There is an undercurrent of negativity about youth in some circles, but the stereotypes, as usual, are for the most part overblown and based on misunderstanding and ignorance. Granted many youth tend to be cynical. But how do you blame them when they so often run up against the hypocrisy ingrained in many aspects of our society, not the least of all our politics. However, for many it is a healthy cynicism, mixed with hope and a desire to do better. Despite the common view of youth closeted and isolated with their video games, today’s young tend to do better in collaborative and team efforts. That should stand them in good stead as they struggle to succeed in a dramatically different world and

workplace of the 21st century. When promoting teamwork, it’s often said there is no ‘I’ in team. But if there is advice to share with graduates, it’s to pay attention to the three I’s. Interested, involved, informed. Be all three when it comes to your community. You are the ones who have the smarts to overcome the mistakes of the past. No matter how cynical you are about politics, it does affect your day-to-day life. There’s a federal election coming up this fall. If you aren’t inclined to get involved in the campaign, at least become informed about the issues and stands of the candidates. The same goes for the provincial and municipal elections when they roll around three years from now. So for now, graduates, bask in the glow of your educational accomplishments. Then get out there and put all those talents to good use in making the world a better place for yourself and your peers.

MP should leave provincial affairs to MPP To the editor:

I have already written directly to Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant about meddling in provincial affairs. We have an MPP who cares for provincial matters. I did not receive a response as usual. However, there she goes again with a harangue on the environment referring to those of us who care about the environment as ‘extremists.’ She refers to: “alarmist claims about “man-made global warming.” I would suggest she Google Antarctica and see the melting glaciers, or the starving polar bears who are moving into Northern villages since the ice, on

the party self-interest that has blanketed us seemingly forever. Political parties care not a whit for us, other than they’d like to own our seat at the table. I would prefer we, the citizens of this riding, be the ones who own it. As to Mr. Clouthier, I would completely understand if he chose to stay out of it. Election campaigns are expensive and exhausting, and as he knows better than any of us, they can hurt. But even Abe Lincoln lost eight elections before winning the big one, so I guess pluck, when mixed with some good timing, can achieve great things. Four years too soon? Or absolutely right on time?

If he did, it would represent the fifth time he’s put his name out there, not counting a run for the Liberal nomination back in 2004. And it can’t be easy to go to all of that effort, so many times, only to come up short in ways other than height. But holy cow, the guy’s got some pluck to him, no arguing that.

ment, as there are seven others as well. Which makes me wonder if our very own Hec Clouthier had it right all along, only to be four years too soon.  Reading about Rathgeber this morning was like reading about Clouthier. As many of you can recall, Clouthier ran full-out in the last federal election, extolling the power of the independent, and how it could be brought to bear for the benefit of the riding. He was indefatigable and resolute with that message, seemingly everywhere for more than a year prior to the election being called. It makes me wonder what that level of energy and passion could do for us in Ottawa.  Factor in the fact that Clouthier knows first-hand the movers, shakers and players, including all three major party leaders, and you’ve got a potential scenario that would be hard to replicate for any member of parliament, no matter their party affiliation. Four years too soon. I wouldn’t care to speculate on Mr. Clouthier’s intentions this time around. I’ve noted, from the media, that he

In short, in my opinion, The Conservatives are past their best before date, the Liberals haven’t earned their way back yet, and the NDP wants to pull us out of NATO, abolish the senate, change the sovereignty threshold in Quebec, and bring back the gun registry. I saw in my morning paper that Brent Rathgeber, a former Conservative MP from out west, quit the Tory caucus over two years ago and has been sitting as an independent ever since. He intends to run again as an independent, and his prospects appear good for re-election. Rathgeber indicates that his decision to sit on his own to represent his constituents hasn’t had any detrimental effect whatsoever on his riding. Government money and services continue to flow in, the cheques get cashed, and the sun continues to come up in the east and settle in the west. And his constituents feel ably represented.

I regret to say that, with the federal election looming on the horizon, I appear to have no candidate that I feel comfortable enough voting for. That’s not meant as a personal slight to any of them currently on offer, but rather a lament that the parties these people represent do essentially nothing for me, either in their past actions or inactions, or by what they promise to do in the future. And I feel they offer about the same to the riding where I live. The Conservatives are listing, taking on water badly, much of the crew going over the railing, and the prospect of even more selfinflicted damage in the near future. The Liberals, sporting a fresh coat of paint and a rock star skipper, seem directionless, meandering about in search of fair winds, periodically tooting their horn, but always giving the impression that they’re more likely to run aground.

Early detection important for children with Hip Dysplasia Peter Clark

peter.clark@metroland.com

June was Hip Dysplasia Awareness Month, and although it has slipped by, Crystal Smith of Burnstown Road would like to make people aware of just what Hip Dysplasia is, and how to detect the problem early. Smith’s 21-month old daughter Miranda has Hip Dysplasia, something she had never heard of before Miranda was diagnosed. “I also know now that we are not alone, even in our community there are others like my daughter,” Smith said. Hip Dysplasia is also known as Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH). It is a condition that affects the hip joint in babies, young children, and some adults. Hip Dysplasia prevents the hip joint from functioning properly and the joint wears out much faster than normal, much like a car’s tires will wear out faster when out of alignment. It is also a ‘silent’ condition that means pain is not normally felt until much later stages, making it harder to detect. Miranda was not diagnosed until six months of age. Being diagnosed after three months of birth is considered a late diagnosis.

“My daughter has had one closed reduction surgery (at eight months) and one open reduction surgery (at 10 months) followed by a Spica (body cast) for 12 weeks,” Smith said. “She wears a hip brace when sleeping and now requires a femoral osteotomy surgery (cutting of the hip bone) and Spica again for 12 more weeks.” That will be done shortly before her second birthday. “I’m not sure how that’ll go the second time around, now that she can walk. She didn’t learn to walk until about 18 months. Now there is no stopping her,” mom says of her daughter, who has two big brothers. Early detection is key to fixing abnormalities and a speedy recovery. It has become all too common as more people are having hip replacements. If it had been caught earlier it could have been avoided. There is a need for broad newborn population screening (ultrasound at six weeks of age), also continued vigilance and training in newborn screening programmes for Hip Dysplasia. By doing this the numbers of late diagnosed Hip Dysplasia would decrease, Smith said. The cost of it all would decrease also.

Smith has petitioned Dr. Eric Hoskins, Ontario Minister of Health and Long Term Care Mandatory Ultrasound Screening of all newborns to reduce late diagnosed Hip Dysplasia. She had 550 supporters as of last week. Go to http://chnn. ge/1HujFPS?recruiter=51251940 for the petition. “Please help all those affected by Hip Dysplasia across Canada in winning the fight for early detection. I’m trying to get a mandatory x-ray done on babies at six weeks so they can make sure they are in the clear and don’t have any hip issues,” Smith added. “There is a lot of information out there. It’s just getting the awareness. We had no idea about it until Miranda was diagnosed. “We believe it’s in the family. It usually runs in the family, it’s hereditary. But it can happen to some where it’s not hereditary at all,” Smith said. Miranda should be out of her cast and ready to go again by Christmas, as long as everything goes well. “The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and her doctor have been great,” Smith said. “We are really lucky to have that hospital close by. “CHEO has been wonderful. Really, really good.”

“That was a real eye-opener,” Goegan says. Throughout the ordeal, he kept a positive attitude and trusted RVH’s care partners at The Ottawa Hospital. Goegan is now back at work living a healthy, normal life with one kidney.

GRAND ROUNDS

“It feels like nothing ever happened. I have nothing but appreciation for the speed and ease of how I was treated,” he adds. “The level of care you receive at RVH you cannot get anywhere else, you just can’t,” concludes his partner Christina Ouellet.

When you are at your worst, professionals at RVH are there to take care of you He made his way to the Emergency Department at RVH and was sent for a CT scan, which discovered the tumour. Recalling the initial visit to the hospital, Goegan says he was immediately impressed with the high level of respectfulness and professionalism shown by the team. “That can’t be easy to come in and have to sit down and tell someone bad news,” he shares about the moment Dr. Steve Radke told them the results of the CT scan.

No one could ever tell that six months ago Pat Goegan had surgery to remove a large tumour in his left kidney. He has a newfound appreciation for all nurses, physicians and other health care specialists in our community. Without any pain symptoms, Goegan says he was very concerned after using the washroom one day at work in downtown Ottawa. “Nothing hurt. But it’s not normal to see blood in your urine,” he said, knowing he had to get back home to Renfrew.

Pat Goegan and partner Christina Ouellet are grateful to the RVH team.

Safe cycling OPP brought back the popular bike rodeo to Ma-Te-Way Park on July 4. Young riders were directed to various stations where they learned to observe traffic indicators, balancing skills, and more. Giving the green light to Hunter Prince is, from left, auxiliary officers Scott Redden, Brian Sharpe, Samantha Corriveau and Const. Tina Hunt. At right, Alexander and Courtney Vander Ploeg participate in the bike rodeo. While on patrols, OPP has often been asked about bike rules for kids. For instance, under 18, a helmet is mandatory or you face a ticket and appearance in court with parents. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why the bike rodeo was brought back for the first time in a couple of years. (Often kids will be rewarded with a frosty treat from OPP if they have a helmet on.)

News from Legion Branch 148

Although the monthly general meetings are on hold for July and August, there are still plenty of reasons for people to stop in, get to know what the branch is all about and, better yet, find out how you can be a part of it! While you certainly know where the Legion is, you’ll probably be surprised at the variety of activities and events that take place there. The branch sees lots of birthday parties, bridal showers and stag and does, but

there is so much more to do at this community hub. Renfrew Silver Seniors play darts every Monday and also hosts regular luncheons throughout the month. Come by Tuesdays where there is a foot clinic that is open to the public. Are you into music? Tuesday evenings, the Renfrew Highland Pipes and Drums hold their regular practice while Thursday nights are set aside for anyone interested

Coming in July are Jam McCambly, Heart Breakers, Jerry Lee, Debenhams, Running Naked, Lonesome Dreams and Back Beat.

Thank you, Residents of the town of Renfrew, for your kindness and loving care for Sister Joan Pecore, during her final illness. You were wonderful! You may not know, that Sister Joan was the last sister involved in ministry in Renfrew. Our Sisters came to Renfrew in 1887 as teachers, but our records show that there was a music teacher with the first group, right from the beginning. Sister Joan was following in the tradition of those who had gone before her and who had taught her. We are especially grateful to the doctors and staff at Renfrew Victoria Hospital, the excellent care given at Hospice Renfrew; the prayerful support given by Father Kerry Brennan and Father Ryan Holly; the kindness of the staff at the Goulet Funeral Home, and last but not least, those faithful friends, devoted Associates of Holy Cross and generous staff from both Our Lady of Fatima and St. Thomas the Apostle Schools, who took time from busy schedules to visit, comfort and pray with her. The Sisters of Holy Cross and Sister Joan’s family, are forever grateful!

Sawing logs at Ottawa RedBlacks games Jamie Bramburger

Lucy Hass/Metroland

Roller derby action at Ma-Te-Way Elisa Holland of the Valley Valkyries Renfrew County Roller Derby team looks to rack up some points in roller derby action against the Bytown Blackhearts at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre June 21. The Valkyries battled, but came up short in their match against their Ottawa counterparts. The Blackhearts pulled out a 144-133 triumph over the Valley squad. The Valkyries next home game is Saturday, July 18 in Pembroke.

The Ottawa RedBlacks and Algonquin College’s Loggersports team will continue to build a tradition this season when the football club scores a touchdown. The sounds of chainsaws will echo through TD Place Stadium as the student athletes cut a RedBlacks wooden cookie from a log every time the team puts six points on the board by scoring a major. Armed with larger logs, bigger chainsaws and a wooden team bench, the ceremonial cutting of the wooden cookie will take place in the west end zone after every touchdown. These wooden medallions are tokens of celebration to commemorate the RedBlacks accomplishments on the field and are shared with fans during the game. Loggersports coach, Chris Ryan, says the team is excited to be on the sidelines again this year. “We had a lot of fun in the RedBlacks inaugural season, and we anticipate we will be a lot busier this year as the team improves and scores more touchdowns. Our team is ready to rev up our chainsaws and looks forward to producing lots of wood chips at every home game,” proclaims Ryan. Ottawa’s logging heritage is an essential part of the RedBlacks story. The addition of the loggersports team is an element that ties that lumberjack past with the present, according to the

Algonquin College Waterfront Campus, Pembroke/submitted

Students from Pembroke’s Algonquin College Waterfront Campus celebrate an Ottawa RedBlacks homefield touchdown in 2014. Such moments were few and far between. But things are already better in 2015 as the RedBlacks have opened the season with wins over the Montreal Alouettes and then the B.C. Lions in the home opener at TD Place Stadium. president of the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group (OSEG), Jeff Hunt, who says having the Loggersports team at every game has been terrific for the fans. “Those wood cookies were hot commodities last season,” said Hunt. “We present them as symbols of excellence to men and women who do great things in the community and this year we hope to present many, many more.” The Loggersports Team, based at Algonquin’s Pembroke Campus, participates in intercollegiate lumberjack skills

competitions in a variety of traditional forestry-related skills. Algonquin’s Loggersports Varsity Team is a member of the Canadian Lumberjacking Association and competes in two major tournaments each academic year, competing against colleges and universities from across Eastern Canada and the Northeastern United States. The team is made up of men and women who spend hundreds of hours training for competitions in events such as chain sawing, axe throwing, pole climbing and cross cut sawing.

Junior/Senior Games Day On June 18, a Junior/Senior Games Day was held with participants from Bonnechere Manor, Groves Park Lodge, Manor Day Program, Quail Creek Retirement Centre, Renfrew Victoria Hospital and the Grade 3 classes from Our Lady of Fatima School. About 80 people attended the event. The seniors and students participated in games of clothes pin toss, clothes pin grab, tennis ball bounce, riddles, puzzles, and word pictures. Team No. 2 became the winner of the Games Day. Team members were, in front, Holly Kenopic; first row from left, Joanne Vincent, Tom Gorra, Kay Durnford, Margaret Kasaboski, Norah Lavallee, Murray Millar and Jack Sullivan; and back row, Janet Brush, Sam Pollard, Sue Diotte, Mackenzie Todd and Carter Dubeau. The teams shared many laughs together and encouraged each other on. Everyone who participated enjoyed an ice cream treat at the end of the afternoon. A great day was had by all who participated!

Ray’s, Partee Girls set standard Bill Rainboth

Dragonfly General Manager

Weather was a less than perfect this past week for our Men’s League. Despite the cool damp weather, our players used blazing hot scores to carry them through a difficult playing format. Three players scrambled from the back tees, two from the middle tees, and one played his own ball from the forward tees, giving a total score for the team. Tuesday’s standard was set by the team from Ray’s Flowers, with Team RVH coming in runner up. Closest to the pin winners were Terry Smith on No. 5 and Glen Carter on No. 7. Wednesday’s winning team was the Skunk Alley Boys and the Yolkowskie Hackers were

the runner ups. Dave Brydges was closest to the pin on 5, and Gord MacMillan on 7. Our ladies enjoyed far better weather than the men on Thursday, (they told me that this is as it should be). The Partee Girls celebrated Canada Day with a season low score of 29, and The Driving Fours were a driving force and shot an impressive score of 32.5 for the runners-up position. Our closest to the pin winners were Joanne Simard and Ann McGregor. Closest to the barn door was also Joanne Simard, proving that our Dragonfly Ladies can in fact, hit the broad side of a barn door. The theme for the night was Canada Day and many showed their true patriot love by dressing themselves, and even their

golf carts in red and white.

Calling all Seniors

We have our Monday Social Seniors League. Tee times start 7:30 a.m. sharp, and are social in nature – nothing overly organized other than show up, find a group, and go play. Non Members pay $17 walking, and $35 for a shared cart. Scores will be tracked, with emphasis being on the social aspect and having fun, rather than competition. Enrollment in the league is only $40 for the season, and that includes a banquet lunch at the end of the year. Please call the Dragonfly Pro Shop for further details at 613-4323838.

Keeping anglers safe Mark McMillan

Ontario Conservation Officers Association

July 4 to 12 marks National Fishing Week in Canada. The Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) and the Ontario Conservation Officers Association (OCOA) remind anglers that wearing your lifejacket is even more important than wearing your ‘lucky fishing hat’. But they do share one trait. They both have to be worn to be effective! According to the Canadian Safe Boating Council and the Lifesaving Society, 80 percent of recreational boaters who drown each year in Canada were not wearing a lifejacket or Personal Floatation Device (PFD). Most of these drownings occur in small, open power boats, accounting for 60 percent of these preventable deaths. Most of these victims were males between 19 and 35, out for a day of fishing. Many of those who don’t wear their lifejackets or PFDs believe that, since they are good swimmers, having them onboard and within easy reach is good enough. But a lifejacket stored under a seat or up in the bow will be of no help when the unexpected happens, like falling overboard while trying to net the catch. “National surveys clearly show that more than half the recreational boats sold in Canada are used for fishing on a regular basis,” says John Gullick, chair of the Canadian Safe Boating Council. “During National Fishing Week, the Canadian Safe Boating Council reminds all anglers not only to have their lifejacket onboard their boat, but to wear it as if their life depended on it - because it just might.” Many of today’s anglers are delighted with the models that are designed especially to suit their needs. Some even come equipped with an attachment from which to hang a landing net. When choosing their lifejacket, anglers should also check the label to make sure it is Transport Canada approved, is the correct size and fits snugly. “The Ontario Conservation Officers Association is excited about partnering with the CSBC to promote the Hooked on Life jackets program,” said Tim Rochette, president of the OCOA. “Our organization is dedicated to the sustainable use of all of our beautiful natural resources in Ontario, which includes ensuring that all boaters stay safe and wear a lifejacket while enjoying our waterways.” Fishing is a part of our Canadian fabric and an activity that’s easy to get hooked on. The CSBC and OCOA are asking those who fish to ‘Get Hooked on Lifejackets’ too. 36 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, July 9, 2015

It was a good week for Yemen Electric, Publican House and Precision Contracting at the Renfrew Golf Club. All three teams moved up a flight in the Men’s Rec League. Yemen outlasted Mid-Town Flooring, Bushwackers and Scott’s Shoes to advance to A fight after all four teams tied with scores of 60 in the B loop. Publican House with a two-week total of 58, made the climb with plenty to spare from C flight to B by five strokes. Precision Contracting, 63, moved up from D to C by a margin of three shots. A flight’s Rowat Insurance had the two-week segment’s best overall tally at 54.

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, July 9, 2015 37

Parents answer the calls of their fledgling Dwight and Catherine Cheff on Goshen Road found a fledgling sharp-shinned hawk on their lawn. It had some flight feathers and could fly short distances but was certainly not ready to survive on its own. The Cheffs caught it, placed it in a berry box and set it on the scaffolding near the nest. Before relocating it they dug some worms and grubs and hand fed it. Catherine said it perked up very quickly after it had some food. Once the young bird began to call, the parents found it and took over the chore of feeding. As of last Sunday the fledgling was doing well away from the nest. Young birds have very distinct calls that express their problems, hunger, fear and location. If they fall or are pushed from the nest when they are a week or two old and have some of their flight feathers, they will call and in most cases their parents will respond and feed them. If they are still nestlings they may not be able to call to their parents for help. We thank the Cheffs for their rescue efforts. Bluebirds

Burt and Melissa Virgin found a fledgling bluebird on their lawn this past week. To protect it they placed a clothes basket over it. It was only a short time before the parents found it and began to look through the holes in the basket for their fledgling. It was then Burt and Melissa realized that the parents could hear their off-spring and come to its rescue. To help the parents Burt placed the young bird in a berry box and placed it near the nest. In a short time the adults were feeding it. When young bluebirds fledge they will not return to the nest. We have tried putting them back but they will not stay. They usually all fledge together and fly high up into a nearby tree and perch together waiting to be fed by the parents. On rare occasions one of the brood will not perch with the others. However, with a little prodding they will fly to be with their siblings. The parents will feed the straggler but it is unsafe for them on the ground. Chipping sparrows

Fledgling chipping sparrows leave the nest before they can fly or gather food for themselves. They hop around on the ground calling loudly for the parents to bring food to them. In a day or two they are able to fly to the low branches of nearby trees but still continue to be fed by their par-

JIM FERGUSON Scene from the Hawk’s Eye ents. In a few more days they are able to gather food and fly further up into the trees to safety. Black-billed cuckoo

Mary Turcotte saw her first blackbilled cuckoo this week. She heard a very different call and was finally able to locate the bird and put a name on it. Cuckoos are large (bigger than a robin), strong birds and one of the few species that is able to tear apart the nests of tent caterpillars. In seasons when the insects are plentiful so are the cuckoos. Its first cousin, the yellow-billed cuckoo, is very much like the blackbilled except for their song and their bill. Both have a down-curved bill, one all black (the black-billed) and the other black above and yellow below (the yellow-billed). The song of the black-billed is a soft cu,cu,cu, the yellow-billed kalp,kalp,kalp. They are easy to tell apart in the field. Cedar waxwings

Tracey Marki has been growing red currants in her garden for several years and as in past years the cedar waxwings have arrived to harvest the crop. Unfortunately, there is very little fruit for the birds to eat this season. Tracey says the fruit will not last long enough to become ripe and turn red. She saw three fledgling waxwings on the hydro wires near their home earlier in the week. Ring-billed gulls

Clarence Bos has a summer feeding program and it has been successful but he put out some bread and it set off a great racket. The ring-billed gulls arrived as if on command, one arrived and then several more calling and screaming. Clarence said he did not realize how quickly the flock found the food. When he put the bread out there were none to be seen. Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, R R 5, Renfrew, Ontario K7V 3Z8 Phone 613-432-2738 or email jameshf@xplornet.com

All students at Northcote welcomed the final day of school Mary Cook’s Memories BY MARY COOK

into the next grade. Although it would be frowned on today, it was considered a pleasure to be handed a clean-up job before the little one-room schoolhouse was locked up for the summer. The senior girls washed down the slate blackboards, we younger ones took the brushes out-

Inside we knew Miss Crosby would be stuffing the several holes in the baseboards where on a good day we would see four or five mice scurrying from one opening to another. A textbook would be propped against each hole to further antagonize the field mice that tried to gain entry to our precious building. The year was coming to

a close. You could be sure you earned every last comment on the report card, be it good or bad. The long months of summer lay before us, and with mixed feelings of relief and joy, they too would be gone, and Miss Crosby and the spotlessly cleaned oneroom schoolhouse would once again be ready and waiting for us.

do so, Miss Crosby would send us home on the last day of school with ‘summer work’ as she called it. And she would be right there to check it in September to make sure we had it done. The noon lunch was always a special time on the last day of school. All the bags were shared, so there was a special effort to make sure the lunches were not just plain honey sandwiches, or pieces of headcheese between two slices of bread. There always seemed to be lots of chocolate cake and butter tarts, and I can remember how my little friend Joyce would bring homemade fudge for the whole school. Once we had put in a full morning, Miss Crosby would announce that it was lunch time and we would all move to the outside…everyone carrying a bag from the pile at the back of the school room. Miss Crosby always brought a big plaid blanket…one of those that people used in open touring cars. This she would spread out on the grass under the elm tree and the 18 of us who made up the entire enrolment of the Northcote school would sit cross-legged on the grass around the blanket. The lunches would be heaped in the centre, and this was the one time when Miss Crosby didn’t stand on ceremony. We could reach and grab as much as we wanted, all the time staying within the limits of good manners of course. When every last scrap had been eaten, there was rarely a crust left for the birds, Miss Crosby would open a story book she had brought from her home and read us the final chapters. It would be a book that she had been reading to us, one chapter at a time for weeks, and the last day of school was the culmination of that once-aweek read. We half listened. We wanted to hear the end of the book certainly…but we dreaded the last paragraph. Because when Miss Crosby closed the book for the last time, we dreaded what was coming next. It was report card time…and there was no getting away from it. She kept the report cards in a big folder made out of advertisements from Scott’s Hardware store, the kind used to wrap around textbooks for protection. They were handed out by class; primer book first and then right up to the entrance class. We would steal a peek and let out a roar of sheer joy. We had passed. We had made it

R0013350939

We anticipated that last day of school for weeks before it finally rolled around. And all the time I went to the Northcote School, our final day before the summer holidays varied little. We would be on our very best behaviour just on the off chance that Miss Crosby would look on us kindly when she was filling out our report cards – although I know now, that a sudden burst of concentration and an effort to increase our production would do little to change the outcome at that point in the school year. The die was cast! It was long the custom to go dressed in our next-to-Sunday best on the last day of school. That meant wearing not quite go to church clothes but not play clothes either. Even Cecil would leave his bib overalls at home in exchange for cotton twill pants and a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows. That was just about as dressy as Cecil ever got. The night before the last day of school, Mother had us write notes to Miss Crosby thanking her for her year of teaching, and her patience. The five letters were obviously similar since Mother sat at the kitchen table dictating them to us. And just about everyone in the Northcote School would bring an end-of-the-year present for the teacher as well. Those of us who had little or no money would take home-baking or preserves and one year I remember very well, one of the senior boys brought a dressed chicken, trussed up and ready for the oven. By the time Miss Crosby was ready to go home, the back lunch table would be piled high with our gifts of thanks… the most simple of fare. Alas, the gifts didn’t sway Miss Crosby one iota when it came to the report cards. No amount of baking or preserves could produce a better grade than what she thought you had earned during the year. And just because it was the last day of school we weren’t excused from the regular routine Miss Crosby followed religiously every other day of the year. We still had a bible reading in the morning, followed by a long and purposeful prayer, and with our right hand over our hearts a final singing salute to the King. For the rest of the morning we had what the teacher called review work. This was when we had to remember what had been taught months before and come up with instant recall. If we failed to

Devon Barber accepts the Principal’s Award from Renfrew Collegiate principal Terry Hughes to close out the presentation of awards in the Grant Gymnasium June 25. Among other criteria, leadership over a student’s time at RCI and his service and involvement at the school and beyond were instrumental in being honoured for this award.

Auston Pierce was this year’s valedictorian at Renfrew Collegiate Institute’s Class of 2015 graduation ceremony June 25.

Ontario Scholars

Auston Pierce was this year’s RCI valedictorian. “Our parents have put up with us all our lives, they have been there for us in the darkest of times and the greatest of times. It’s probably tough to raise teens who think they are always right, who are never tired or in some cases always tired. Our parents have dedicated the last 18 years of their lives to teaching us life lessons that we can now use to take with us as we leave high school and eventually leave home,” Pierce said. “Just like our parents, the staff of RCI has been there for us through these last four years. They have exposed us to new ideas, got us to join teams and clubs and because of them we may have found our true passions,” Pierce added. “Every teacher at RCI is truly exceptional and takes time out of their own lives to make our high school experience better. The staff of RCI has become my second family and because of them RCI feels like home, and I don’t know about you but I am scared to leave home. “We were the first class moved into RCIS. We are the first graduating class of RCIS and we are RCIS’ first Grade 8 class to graduate high school. That extra year I feel was very important for us,” Pierce said. “We created bonds that have lasted all through high school and hopefully the rest of our lives. “I am lucky, we all are lucky to be able to say we are the RCI graduating class of 2015. We together changed this school and will always be a part of it. Class of 2015 we truly did leave our mark at RCI. Now it’s time to make our mark on the rest of the world.”

Students receiving an Ontario scholarship must have a mark of 80 or above in at least six subjects. This year, 36 graduates made the grade.

It was a special night as Renfrew Collegiate Institute hosted its 109th annual Commencement Exercises on the evening of June 25 in the Grant Gymnasium. Principal Terry Hughes welcomed all to the celebration of the Class of 2014-15. “Graduates, tonight is all about you. Your teachers and classmates all know what you have gone through to get to this stage. Tonight you celebrate passing into a life where you are in charge,” Hughes said. “It’s all up to you now.” Hughes told a story of a Thalidomide baby born with no arms. Alvin Law was his name. Law owned a large home, had a beautiful wife and had raised a son. He even played a song on a piano ... with his feet. “Alvin Law made a decision to make the most of life given to him. Rather than deciding to wallow in his disability, Alvin made the most of his situation,” Hughes said. “I wonder how many of you could learn to open a hotel room door or drive a car, or brush your teeth, or live a life without arms or hands. Fortunately, you don’t have to. You all have two arms. You also have a high school diploma which counts you among the most educated people in the world.” Hughes urged each and every grad to enjoy the evening’s celebration. “You deserve it. You are the 134th graduating class of Renfrew Collegiate. You carry a 134-year tradition of excellence behind you. I hope you make good decisions and have a great life. You are a Raider, after all. We expect nothing less.”

Once a Jaguar, always a Jaguar. St. Joseph’s Catholic High School celebrated its graduation June 25 and the event program outlined the special connection that will always exist between the school and its students. “Wherever life takes you, no matter how near or how far, know that a part of us travels with you. And you with us.” Staff, students and families celebrated at a mass at St. Francis Xavier Church before the evening ceremonies at the school. Principal Brennan Trainor led the graduation ceremonies. The annual graduation event includes a special segment during which the graduates present roses to an individual of their choice in the audience. Valedictorian Nathan Dyck expressed many thanks in his address. “I would like to recognize the parents of our graduates for all the time and energy they have spent in providing their kids with the best possible circumstances. Whether it be through support and encouragement or discipline and constructive criticism, parents are the ones who have left the greatest impact on our graduates,” he said. Teachers left a lasting impact, as well. “Every class I walked into there was a teacher wanting to provide more than just a credit or even a good mark. The teachers at St Joe’s wanted to leave me with something useful. They taught me important life lessons, responsibility and respect. They taught me to learn just for the sake of learning and the importance of that. They prepared us for the real world and whatever schooling or workplace path we were heading in,”

said Dyck. Custodians, the student services team, school chaplain and cafeteria staff and administration are all deserving of thanks for their support over the years, said Dyck. This year’s graduates have accomplished many great things, he said. “Even though we are small in number, we can accomplish a whole lot of things,” he said. “Ladies and gentlemen, this group of students before you is an excellent example of the values our school stands for. I know they will all go on to achieve great things in life. These things may not be what’s expected, but I would like to encourage you guys to take advantage of whatever life brings you. And like Mother Theresa once said ‘Not all of us can do great things, but we can do small things with great love.’”

Dyck, an Arnprior resident, will be studying political science and history at the University of Ottawa this fall. “I also hope to get involved with different organizations and internships on the hill in order to pursue some kind of future that will make an impact on politics in Ottawa or the social justice institutions there,” he said. In a unique addition to the annual ceremonies, graduates were asked to use their cell phones and devices to post real-time messages, photos or comments on social media. “We’re living in a world today where technology is a must,” said Trainor. “Tell everyone what is the most important thing you’ve learned at St. Joseph’s High School or one piece of advice you’d like to give to the world now that you are a high school graduate.” The point of the exercise was twofold, the principal explained – to show the graduates how confident the staff is they are ready to head out

in the world and tackle the next stage of their lives and to show how proud the school is of them and how they care deeply about what they have to say. “Whatever this group of graduates puts their minds to, there is no telling the outcome,” he said. Among the major awards, Katie Hall received the junior Principal’s Award and Theresa Hackbarth the senior Principal’s Award. Nathan Dyck received the Sisters of St. Joseph’s scholarship, Danielle Labelle was presented with the Jennifer Mary Conroy Memorial Bursary and the Rotary Community Service scholarship and Robert Kennedy Memorial Bursaries went to Alison Kasaboski and Micheal Vice.

Stay healthy this summer by visiting an Ontario Provincial Park Province of Ontario participating in Healthy Parks Healthy People Movement

Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry

Ontario has joined the world-wide Healthy Parks Healthy People movement and is encouraging everyone to visit a provincial park to improve their health. Ontario’s provincial parks will be open to the public free of charge on July 17 this year for all day-use visitors. Started in Australia, Healthy Parks Healthy People reinforces and encourages the connections between a healthy environment and a healthy society. “I am pleased that Ontario provincial parks will be open to all Ontarians without any cost on July 17, 2015. This provides a great opportunity for Ontarians, young and old, to get outdoors and get active. I encourage you to get active in one of Ontario’s beautiful provincial parks throughout the year,” says Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry Bill Mauro.

and enjoy the outdoors is part of the government’s plan to build a better Ontario through its Patients First: Action Plan for Health Care, which is providing patients with faster access to the right care, better home and community care, the information they need to live healthy and a health care system

that’s sustainable for generations to come. “There is no better way to spend a summer day than at one of Ontario’s provincial parks. Come discover Ontario’s beauty and get fit at the same time,” says Associate Minister of Health and LongTerm Care, Dipika Damerla.

Walking is Ontario’s most popular physical activity. In 2014, Ontario’s provincial parks received more than 8.5-million visits from people around the world and brought in over $70 million in revenue, which supported jobs and businesses across the province.

nature

Research shows access to nature and green space plays a vital role in physical and mental health, wellbeing and development: • Contact with nature has been found to lower blood pressure, strengthen the immune system, help fight disease and reduce stress. • Activities done in a natural environment reduce anger, fatigue and sadness compared to the same activities in a human-made environment. • Communities with more green space have lower rates of crime and violence. • Incorporating physical activity into your day can reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke, prevent high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis and certain types of cancer. With more than 330 provincial parks in Ontario, our province’s natural spaces are the perfect places for fun and healthy activities. activities

To help get people active and outdoors, many parks will be offering a number of fun activities on July 17, and throughout the year. Healthy Parks Healthy People day events include: • A guided mine hike at the Silver Queen Mine, Murphys Point Provincial Park • A paddle around French Lake and sweet grass Yoga at Quetico Provincial Park • Yoga on the beach at Wasaga Beach Provincial Park Check out more events like these, or simply bring family or friends to your favourite park and create your own.

St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic School’s Grade 7 class celebrated its graduation on June 23. The graduates were supported by a large crowd of staff members, peers and extended family and friends. Father Kerry Brennan bestowed a blessing on the graduates and Seminarian Anthony Burchat provided a wonderful reflection. The valedictorian was Savanna Brown. One of the Grade 7 teachers, Annice O’Rourke paid tribute to the students. “I wish you luck on the rest of your journey – through high school and beyond. I hope I have taught you to follow your dreams and that the road to success is through hard work and perseverance. Remember our lessons on having a growth mindset where everything is possible, instead of a fixed mindset. You don’t have to be a genius to achieve your dreams, you just have to know it’s possible and work diligently to make them a reality,” she said. “I will leave you with one of my favourite quotes from Albert Einstein – himself a genius, though his teachers never thought he’d amount to much. He said: ‘Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.’” The Class of 2015 was a class of wonderful leaders. Of the 35 graduates, 10 were on the honour roll with averages exceeding 80 per cent. What a strong group of graduates! As well students were recognized for their hard work, perseverance, citizenship and Christian values. • Recognition Award: Two recognition awards were presented to students in the Grade 7 class who demonstrated a strong ability and willingness to persevere in academic responsibilities and/or who has taken the positive steps necessary to improve the level of academic performance. The two recipients Devon Essiambre and Madie Joanette. • Ten Honour Roll Medallions were presented to Grade 7 students who have achieved an academic average of 80 per cent or better for the entire year in all subject areas.
