Renfrew County Warden Emon won’t seek re-election as mayor News - Township of Greater Madawaska Mayor Peter Emon announced Friday he will not let his name stand for the position of mayor in the municipal election in October.

He will complete his term through until the end of November of this year.

Mayor Emon notes he has run in a number of elections in his community since first being elected in 1988. He is extremely grateful for the ongoing support and encouragement he has received from his family, the community, the staff and volunteers of the municipality and the members of

council he has served with.

Greater Madawaska has only one candidate for mayor.

John Pratt, a member of council for the 2006-2010 term, filed his nomination papers for mayor June 25.

Emon speaks with a great deal of pride about his community stretching from near Burnstown through Calabogie, Mt. St. Patrick, Matawatchan and ending near Griffith.

“Greater Madawaska is a large, diverse community with a rich and proud history, peopled with strong hardworking individuals and families who take pride in their community.

They volunteer and host many visitors and friends throughout the year to showcase the rich culture and history of the area and the many opportunities to have fun,” Emon said. “Our community is a welcoming, caring and nurturing community and it will continue to be that because of our friends and neighbors.”

Mayor Emon, his family and friends talked at length over the past few months about the decision to run or not. After considerable thought and discussion they made a few decisions.

Former councillor looks to return as mayor of Greater Madawaska Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

News - “On Oct. 27 vote Pratt for mayor and change.”

Those are the words of John Pratt, who is the first to file for the mayor’s chair in Greater Madawaska.

Pratt, married to wife Donna, with three children and three grandchildren, spent 35 years with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police before retirement. He filed his nomination papers June 25.

“Four years as councillor in Ward 1 (2006-2010) of Greater Madawaska has prepared me to seek the office for mayor,” he said.

Pratt says there are three clear priorities existing for the next council – debt, infrastructure and increased policing costs.

“I will ask the CAO to advise of the John Pratt seeks a return to Greater Madawaska Township council, only debt as verified by audit,” Pratt said. this time as mayor.

“Ratepayers need to know where we stand, the full cost of the municipal building, and the payment schedule for future years.”

As well, they need to know the amount of the loan from Greater Madawaska for the raising the roof of the rink, he added.

It is important to know the OPP costs, and projected costs for policing, Pratt said.

“I am well versed in law enforcement, and as head of council would work with other like-minded townships to lessen the policing burden, and clearly understand the new funding formula as being imposed,” he added. “In my view, it is most unreasonable, and has not been clearly explained.”

Pratt would seek to consult with the commissioner of the OPP on the policing matter, he added.

Both Barryvale and Barrett Chute roads require upgrade and help, Pratt said of infrastructure.

“Visitors, clients and patrons cannot be impressed when greeted by bumps and pot holes. These holes are failed infrastructure, and have been historically neglected.”

Pratt noted some other important issues.

They include seniors housing, equipment for the safety of the volunteer fire staff, enhance existing recreation, restore Greater Madawaska’s history and a place to store it, and help, whether it be small or significant, people on private roads.

News - Five full-time and seven part-time firefighters responded to a Canada Day fire at a single-family dwelling at 404 Wade Avenue.

The Renfrew Fire Department received the call to the Burke residence at 1:22 p.m. and arrived to find heavy smoke coming from the eaves and roof.

The home was struck by lightning during the early-afternoon storm.

The dozen firefighters had the blaze under control quickly, and remained on scene until 3 p.m. The estimated smoke and water damage was $80,000.

Renfrew County paramedics and the Ontario Provincial Police were also on scene as support units for the firefighters.

Fire chief Guy Longtin noted that the Renfrew department also received a second call on the same afternoon involving a lightning strike behind the old town hall on Duke Street.

It involved a Hydro line,

Admaston-Bromley Township concerned over OPP protocol Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

News - Admaston-Bromley council is concerned about Ontario Provincial Police protocol regarding notification of road closures around accidents, and wants the problem resolved quickly.

After a motor vehicle accident in May, it was noted that both local roads and County Road 5 (Stone Road) were closed.

The Renfrew County roads department was notified when asked to close the road. However, notifications were not received by the Ad-

maston-Bromley roads department, county emergency services (ambulance), Community Access Call Centre (CACC) or the Douglas Fire Department regarding the closures or reopening of these roads.

A similar situation occurred in June. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What are we doing? Putting a whole lot of other people at risk because of that,â&#x20AC;? Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe said of the lack of notification by police.

Not only should the road authorities, paramedics and fire department be notified, but the media should also be included in that list, she said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The media has easy capability of telling us all, both here, and outside the community, that we need to take some other method of travelling.â&#x20AC;?

Mayor Briscoe received a letter from Renfrew OPP Sgt. Steve Linton on the matter.

While these notifications will normally be completed by a dispatcher at the Provincial Communications Centre in Smiths Falls, the responsibility to request these notifications falls on the detachment platoon officer-incharge, along with the responsibility to follow up with the dispatcher, to make sure that the notification was, in fact, provided, Sgt. Linton said.

This will be the case in both road closures and road re-openings.

All Renfrew OPP detachment officers will receive a copy of the letter to alleviate any problems in the future.

Douglas fire chief Terry McHale also noted that at the May accident, upon arrival, OPP officers told responding firefighters they were not required.

Chief McHale asked why the OPP officer would take it upon himself to turn away the responding fire department while there was still potential for fire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It could have been a very serious

situation had a fire broken out after,â&#x20AC;?

Chief McHale said.

Admaston-Bromley police services board chair Dallas Hortness said police officers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the authority to send away an emergency responder.

None of the three responders can step forward and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in charge of the whole scene.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each of the first responders is responsible for whatever their area of expertise is,â&#x20AC;? Hortness pointed out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the fireman and fire is a concern, no one can send you away.â&#x20AC;?

Mayor Briscoe said a meeting is needed to get that issue settled.

News - BeaverTails founders Grant and Pam Hooker hesitated when first approached with the idea of declaring Killaloe the official birthplace of their hugely popular deep-fried pastries.

But one conversation led to another, and now local residents and visitors can buy BeaverTails in the village of about 600 people that is the official birthplace of BeaverTails.

Founded after the Hookers were introduced to the beavertails recipe through Grant’s grandmother, the business had its roots in nearby Brudenell where the Hooker couple settled some 40 years ago with their two children.

The company now has a global reputation that has reached Saudi Arabia, Japan, soon the United States and about 100 locations in Canada, where one of their most popular items on the STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND menu is the Killaloe Sunrise.

Beavertails co-founder Pam Hooker, left, and Killaloe BeaverTails franchise owner Kim Killaloe Sunrises were provided Barnes serve up a Killaloe Sunrise beavertail to Renfrew Reeve Audrey Green. County in free half-size portions to Renfrew council and staff members were treated to free half-portions of beavertails prior to the County councillors and staff members June 25 meeting of county council. prior to the June 25 meeting of county council.

It was a chance to enjoy the Beavertails and be reminded that Killaloe is now the second BeaverTails franchise in the county. There was already one in Pembroke before Killaloe’s franchise coincided with ceremonies May 12 to name the village as the birthplace of Beavertails.

The Hookers, who have homes in Brudenell and Ottawa, attended the County of Renfrew headquarters to host a free serving of beavertails along with Killaloe BeaverTails franchise owner Kim Barnes.

“To Mr. and Mrs. Hooker, thank you very much for 186 Pembroke coming today and treating county council and the staff with beavertails,” said Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards St. West Mayor Janice Vineskie Moore.

(2nd floor) “And thank you, Mr. Warden, for allowing me to orPembroke ganize this, so they could come and show the people of Renfrew County what a beautiful, wonderful business and Phone 613-735-4034 beautiful treat this is.”

1-888-269-5931 Co-founder Grant Hooker, after being introduced to trdentureclinic@nrtco.net county council, introduced local BeaverTails staff and indicated that BeaverTails events can be arranged by visiting www.beavertails.com “The branding of Killaloe as the birthplace of BeaverTails is going well,” said Hooker. We believe that it is bringing people to Killaloe as a snack destination and of course that draws traffic into the hardware store, the liquor store and to other retailers.

“That was the theory behind it,” added Hooker, who acknowledged Madawaska Valley Mayor Dave Shulist (who was born in Renfrew) as the father of this BeaverTailsbranding concept. “He twisted my arm relentlessly, in charming Kashubian fashion.”

It’s time to lose the oil tank Morgan Dugas

Lifestyle - A network of energy and HVAC providers across the country wants Canadians who still have oil furnaces to be aware of the true costs associated with oil heating. Among them is McCrea’s Heating and Air Conditioning Inc., McCrea’s Climate Care,,of Renfrew.

The Switch Off Oil campaign is designed to generate awareness about the costs associated with oil heating, and to help families upgrade to a propane furnace as a more affordable and safer alternative.

Not only is oil heat more expensive than alternatives like propane but there are many other costs beyond price.

Home inspector Derrick Vogel encourages Canadians who still heat with oil to make the switch.

“Being a home inspector in a rural area, I see and inspect many oil-fired systems and believe it’s important that homeowners truly understand the implications of heating with oil. Research shows that there are cleaner, safer and less expensive alternatives available almost everywhere in Canada,” he says.

He points out that “one of the most alarming problems associated with oil heating is the environmental impact due to leaking tanks. Oil tanks in general corrode from the inside out so it is very difficult to determine if or when the lining system may fail. The corrosion in most cases occurs from condensation that builds up inside the tank and since oil is lighter than water, the water sits at the bottom of the tank and causes it to rust or corrode.”

Vogel adds, “there are other disadvantages of heating with oil like increased maintenance costs. Oil does not burn as clean as other fuels such as propane or natural gas. Burning oil creates a lot of dirt and soot which requires additional service calls to clean and maintain various furnace and tank components.”

The safety and environmental risks mean that homes heated with oil also cost more to insure.

According to a study published by the Insurance Bureau of Canada that looked at insurance claims related to furnace oil in Atlantic Canada between 2008 and 2011, over 50 per cent of spills reported were due to oil tank corrosion and a majority of oil spill in-

surance claims were on tanks 10 years old or less.

Paul Konig, general manager of National Services at Superior Propane says “getting off oil and upgrading your home heating system is a big decision to make, but once homeowners realize what sticking with oil is actually costing them when they have more affordable and cleaner options like propane, they see the benefits.”

He adds that, “as part of the campaign, we want to make it affordable and easy so we’re providing locked-in propane prices at summer rates and a SMART*Tank with volume and delivery notifications free for one year. As well, a network of participating HVAC specialists across the country will make the upgrade easy by looking after all of the installation requirements.”

The Switch Off Oil campaign is an initiative of Superior Propane in partnership with a network of HVAC and home heating specialists in communities across the country.

The campaign is set to run from late June through the summer.

Homeowners are encouraged to visit SwitchOffOil.ca for more information or call 1-877-958-9799.

Community - Seniors enthusiastically released balloons at the back of the Renfrew Golden Age Activity Centre. They were in memory of loved ones, but they also honoured the one-year anniversary of the centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been a wonderful year, with some challenges, but many successes,â&#x20AC;? administrator and program director Nellie Kingsbury said July 2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This project was a gateway to change for the seniors in our community. The Golden Age Activity Centre has met the needs of seniors, giving them access to a whole range of activities, fellowship and friendship. From July 2013 to April 2014 we have had over 5,800 people drop in, and 4,100 of those took part in programming.â&#x20AC;?

Kingsbury thanked the Ontario Trillium Foundation, Renfrew and Area Seniors Home Support, the advisory committee the volunteers, partners and seniors themselves, all of whom have contributed to the success of the Activity Centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to be here one year later,â&#x20AC;? Coun. and advisory committee member Jim Miller said to applause.

He noted that the centre has about 275 members in Renfrew and surrounding areas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the ones that support this endeavour,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to see everyone here.

Led by Nellie Kingsbury of the Golden Age Activity Centre, centre, balloons were released during first-anniversary festivities July 2.

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Four Valley men, including a former Arnprior resident, are facing serious charges after a major drug bust up the Valley June 24.

Drug, Oxycodone and a sawed-off shotgun were seized, say police, when members of the OPP Organized Crime Enforcement Bureauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Drug Enforcement Unit (DEU) conducted a Project Paradigm raid on a home in North Algona Wilberforce.

The OPP Tactics and

Contractors and sub trades, the architect, engineers, project managers, and RVH representatives meet on a regular basis to ensure the plans and project are on track.

At left, the new Regional Nephrology Centre at RVH is beginning to take shape as the steel frame goes up.

Communication and co-ordination key to construction project success Renfrew Victoria Hospital

News - Regular site meetings are a crucial aspect of the construction work at RVH, bringing together all parties involved in the project.

The meetings provide an opportunity to report on progress, detect any problems and find resolutions, and serve to keep the project on schedule and on budget.

The group around the table includes various contractors and sub trades, the architect, engineers, project managers, and RVH representatives. Together they go over shop drawings, track orders and delivery of construction materials, and coordinate the work schedule, ensuring that each component of the project flows with the next.

“These site meetings are the most important part of the

job,” stresses architect Brian Dickey.

“We co-ordinate all the work before it gets out on the field and make sure everyone knows the specs and is working from the same plan.”

In one meeting, discussion can range from seismic design for gas line supports on the roof, spill protection for the generator fuel system, and electrical connections from the existing building, to checking floor tiles before choosing paint colours.

The group must take into consideration compliance with specifications and standards such as Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) regulations, variances that may be required for modifications to the plans, and fire safety codes, as well as ensuring the final product will meet the needs of RVH patients,

staff and equipment.

Keeping up to date on project progress is important for the hospital as well, notes Chris Ferguson, vice president of patient care services, who sits in on the bi-weekly meetings. Kelly Hebert, RVH health, safety and infection control co-ordinator, and Janice Verch-Whittington, clinical manager of nephrology, also attend the meetings.

“We can ask questions and bring forward any issues from the hospital or patient safety perspective. In turn, we know what to expect in the next phases of the project, for instance when vibrations from compaction work might affect the Digital Imaging department. We can plan accordingly and share the information with RVH management, staff, patients, visitors, and the community,” says Ferguson.

Chapeski decides to seek job as deputy mayor of McNab-Braeside Township News - Local businessman Len Chapeski has filed papers to run for deputy mayor in McNab-Braeside.

He joins current councillor Brad McIlquham in the race.

Current deputy mayor Christine Blimkie has not yet filed but has indicated she will seek reelection.

Chapeski, recently in the news for a hunger strike he undertook

to protest issues he and wife Bonnie Chapeski are having with the township as they attempt to build a home on their Russet Drive Mr. Dirt property, says change is needed.

OPINION

Connected to your community

EDITORIAL

Celebrate creativity Opinion - Creativity: noun â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the use of imagination or original ideas to create something; inventiveness.

The Oxford Dictionary definition of creativity is simple enough, but its realization is anything but.

When we enjoy the fruits of anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creatvity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether a painting or a musical composition â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it can all feel so easy and natural.

But creativity is hard work, too. It takes patience and perseverance to master any skill, and the performing arts are no different.

This weekend Renfrew and area residents, and the steady stream of tourists making their way through the region, will have ample opportunity to indulge in the creative spirit.

Creativity lies at the heart of numerous summer attractions offered across Renfrew and area

each summer. The examples are many, but here are just a few.

This weekend Art in the Park, hosted by the Renfrew Art Guild, returns with two days of art displays, demonstrations, food and fun.

Meanwhile in neighbouring Horton Township, Bob and Julie Johnston will play host to the always-popular Ottawa Valley Bluegrass Festival featuring some of the genreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest musicians.

If blues is more your style, the fourth annual Class Axe Guitars Blues and Ribsfest at Calabogie Peaks is sure to build upon its reputation as a major economic driver when it hits the region next month.

This summer, when the focus is on fresh produce, take a bite of one of the most wonderful fruits of all â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the fruit of creativity.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Horticultural societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s labour of love proves to be hours wasted To the editor:

Opinion - Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pity, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shame.

Hours of labour and love of gardening to help make our Town of Renfrew look beautiful, seems to have been wasted on the shrub garden at Haramis Park.

Many years ago, when there was a Renfrew Horticultural Society in the Town of Renfrew, many volunteers from the society worked endlessly on a large shrub garden at Haramis Park, that the Town of Renfrew asked us to help plan and build. We made

clear that we would not look after it once it was started and that the town agreed that they would.

Now we are ashamed to admit that we (the Renfrew Horticultural Society volunteers) helped build that heap of brambling rubble.

An excellent quality weed barrier was laid on the bottom to help deter weeds. Mulch from the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tree trimming was donated.

Trees and shrubs were bought etc., all at the expense of the Town of Renfrew.

Dumping a big concern, Salvation Army needs help

Since then weeds have broken through the barrier, especially thistles, and were as tall as some of the shrubs that were full grown instead of pulling the weeds when they were small. Some shrubs look like they have even died from neglect. Shrubs were not trimmed for a few years.

After the shrubs were trimmed, the trimmings were left on the ground around the perimeter of the bed.

When the lawn was cut in the past week or so, the tree trimmings were thrown back into the bed and are still

This bed is not hiding in a corner somewhere in the park; it is out where everyone can see it and is suppose to be a wonderful first impression (yeah, right) when coming into town on Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien Road.

Haramis Park is the first thing tourists see when they arrive in Renfrew via the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien Road exit from Highway 17, especially with the Tourist Booth in the Park.

Should we not be making a Good

First Impression?

Lately a phone call was made to a former member of the Renfrew Horticultural Society asking if he/she could help with some other floral project in town. After spearheading the shrub garden project at Haramis Park and seeing the end results, he/ she refused the current request from the town. Why waste all those hours for something that could have the same impending doom?

Could a good old merchant or landlord please step forward and help the Salvation Army thrift store re-establish itself by finding some building space for that store?

Opinion - Thanks for your recent and ongoing coverage of Stone Fence Theatre.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really helpful. Despite the publicity, though, people keep asking me what Gâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;day, Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re from the Valley, EH! is about.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually a musical comedy about all of us.

It makes some statements we hope youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find amusing about how we live today in the Ottawa Valley and why we choose to live here, despite a few disadvantages.

And, we hope, with its range of music, including rock, country, fiddling, blues, and even rap, that all Valley people and generations will appreciate it.

The show includes a bickering curling couple, a heated hunt camp literary debate, hockey husbands trying to act bored as they watch their wives play, unemployed winter dads doing childcare, and Wilno Blues Night in the era of space travel.

Somehow, though, it all came together around the story from last September of the Killaloe-area resident who won a $15 million lottery prize last fall but went elk-hunting rather than travel to Toronto immediately to get the money.

When I saw the story, I had to write the following song, Delmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Priorities, which is featured in the show: Every morning about 3 a.m., Delmer was at the wheel again Sanding icy logging roads, Lookinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; out for deer and smiling as he drove.

Hard work and long hours, Delmer didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind, Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just what he did, he did it all the time, One September day, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No more for me.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m packinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; it in, I won the lottery.â&#x20AC;?

Chorus Gotta go hunt elk, in October itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moose In November itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deer, and I just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait.

After that, what the heck! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go pick up the cheque.

You gotta keep your priorities straight.

Reporters flocked to Killaloe.

They just didâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get Delmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point of view. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kind of crazy,â&#x20AC;? they all but said, Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d leave the money be, go huntinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; instead.

Delmer didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let it bother him though, Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d a date with friends all set to go.

Folks in town might find it queer, But elk hunting comes just once a year.

Chorus What would you if you won the lottery?

Buy a private jet, go on a shopping spree?

But Delmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going nowhere, though some just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe.

When you live in paradise, why would you want to leave?

All that money wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change his ways, Delmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staying home, not moving away.

Gonna give a bunch away, maybe buy a new car, Fix up the house, put the rest in a jar.

Life goes on in Killaloe, The creek still runs, still work to do.

Nothing matters more here in the end, Than a day in the bush or the company of friends.

Gotta go hunt elk, in October itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moose In November itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deer, and I just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait.

After that, what the heck! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go pick up the cheque.

You gotta keep your priorities straight.

I admire Delmer and all our Ottawa Valley who think a lot of things matter more than money. Thank you for sharing this fun with your readers!

ere we are four months from the Oct 27, 2014 election. As the summer months pass with all the holidays and travel, Renfrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political future could drop down on the priority list waiting to be rejuvenated again in the fall months.

As a candidate for Mayor, I am working hard with other optimistic groups to bring about as much ďŹ scal change as can be allowed a person in my current position.

H

I have met and will continue to meet with business partners within, and without the Town of Renfrew to set up plans and partnerships for the future prosperity

of our residents, and concentrate on attracting new industry, and commercial enterprises.

Remember that all Renfrew stakeholders want a larger tax base to afford those services we deserve, commercial companies pay twice the tax rate of a resident and industry pays three times the tax rate of a resident keeping in mind that commercial and industrial property is assessed much higher than residential property.

Follow me to a ďŹ scally responsible future.

McDougall Mill Museum

Community - With August of this year being the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War, we at the McDougall Mill Museum have set up an interesting, educational display to honour and remember the soldiers who have gone to battle for us.

In 1914, Canada was a part of the British Empire, and as a result, when Great Britain declared war on Germany in August of that year, Canada was automatically put at war.

Tens of thousands of Canadians enlisted within the first few months of the outbreak.

More than 600,000 Canadians fought in the First World War, with 60,000 killed and 170,000 wounded.

In addition to our magnificent military display that is housed on the second floor of the museum, our feature display commemorates local heroes who fought during the First World War. Among those numerous selfless individuals is Nursing Sister Sarah Payne who was part of the Canadian Army Medical Corps from 1915 to

1919.

Sarah Payne was one of two nurses from Renfrew to serve overseas and was born in Horton, and later relocated to Renfrew.

Our display also includes photographs of the inside and outside of the Renfrew Munitions Factory. M.J. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien and T.A. Low, in co-operation with the government, arranged a contract for a munitions and shell plant.

This plant grew to an extent no one would have believed possible by 1917,

when it became a national plant.

It was renamed the British Explosives Limited and was leased to the Imperial Munitions Board.

Many citizens of Renfrew and area contributed strongly during the First World War and the McDougall Mill Museum proudly holds numerous treasured artifacts that have been donated by the families of these local heroes.

Come visit our wonderful exhibit to learn more about your local history.

Saluting our dedicated board volunteers

R0442121695

GRAND ROUNDS

The Renfrew Victoria Hospital and RVH Foundation Boards recently held their annual general meetings—an opportune time to look at the many accomplishments of the past year and look ahead to an exciting future in health care for Renfrew and area.

It is also an opportunity to step back and recognize the longstanding dedication of the volunteer members of both boards who work so diligently to ensure that our community hospital and the foundation continue to thrive.

Catherine O’Neil, one of the dedicated Board members and a former Chair, has always been interested in essential services, health care being at the top of her list.

“All people deserve accessible, affordable, competent health care and I believe RVH truly strives to ensure this happens,” she says of why she continues to be committed to her community hospital.

Andy Boldt, Chair, RVH Board of Directors, acknowledges the time, leadership and experience these volunteers have chosen to share.

“I can state with confidence that Board members view their ongoing contributions to RVH as a privilege and very rewarding. This diverse team is highly committed to being proactive and progressive to ensure that residents of Renfrew and area continue to have access to high-quality health care.”

Board members join cabinet members for the launch of I Choose RVH on May 8.

News - Renfrew Collegiate Institute brought the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 133rd year to a close by saluting the graduating class of 2014 Thursday, June 26 in the Grant Gymnasium.

RCI principal Terry Hughes thanked everyone for making the 2013-14 school year, his first at RCI, a wonderful year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As someone in the unique position of being an outside observer looking in to suddenly become part of the family, I can tell you that there is an excellence at Renfrew Collegiate. On the athletic field, on the stage, and more importantly, in the classroom, Renfrew Collegiate exudes excellence.â&#x20AC;?

This is no surprise, Hughes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the history â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the 133-year history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a teacher, principal or student, each of us carries a responsibility to carry on this long tradition of excellence. I see it in teachers when they organize honours luncheons and athletic banquets. I see it in alumni who organize reunions or book sales in support of our school. I see it in parents who come to watch their children perform on stage or on the athletics field. I see it in students who carry their Raider pride both on their backs and in their hearts.â&#x20AC;?

Hughes told the graduates all will make a difference without even trying. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only you can decide that. Starting tomorrow, you will be free to make more decisions that affect you and those around you,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have earned this freedom. Starting tomorrow, you get to decide who you will be and what difference you will make. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are among the fortunate few. You are a Raider,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We at RCI have done our best to prepare you for your future. You are on you own now.

and determined students to get involved â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it is under their influence that musicians, athletes, artists and apprentices are born. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From one little spark, Mrs. Foohey knows if you have what it takes to be the next prodigy, Ms. Stevens shapes natural talent into ability, and heck, Mme Mottershead and Mr. Poirier can make a runner out of anyone, so watch out,â&#x20AC;? Tubman added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since tonight is about celebrating our cumulative successes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s critical that we brag about ourselves a little, right? â&#x20AC;&#x153;But is it really bragging to celebrate that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the top fundraising school of high schools and universities for Relay for Life in all of Canada? Or that we maintain the most innovative music, calculus and technological skills programs in the county?

No, not bragging â&#x20AC;Ś just celebrating.â&#x20AC;?

Tubman gave advice to her fellow graduates.

Be bold and go out into the world knowing that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re prepared to tackle anything that comes our way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Remember that every lesson that ever made an impact on you will be with you wherever you may go. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a time to live the life you want most and that time is now.â&#x20AC;?

Logan Smaggus receives Renfrew Collegiate Institute’s Ray and Jean Elliott Memorial Scholarship for 2014 from Rand Elliott, son of the Elliotts. The scholarship honours a student who has chosen a career in farming or agricultural sciences, or the animal veterinary practice. In years when no RCI graduate meets the criteria, the grant may be made to a previous scholarship winner who is continuing studies, as is the case with Smaggus. She will be starting her second year in veterinary technology at St. Lawrence College in Kingston. Rand Elliott’s sister Judy Lindsay funded the award.

Tayia Smith, Lindsay Stevens.

The evening was capped off with graduate Amanda Tubman receiving the Principal’s Award from Terry Hughes. She becomes the third member of her family to be presented with this prestigious honour.

Brothers Greg Belmore and Mark Belmore were also recognized with the award during their years at RCI.

14 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, July 10, 2014

St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students in spotlight Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t succeed, try again, with faith, fervour and focus.

That was one of the themes that stood out during the graduation ceremony for St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic High School before a packed assembly of family members, friends and other supporters.

The two-hour ceremony June 26 concluded with a video by the students and closing comments by principal Brennan Trainor. Opening remarks included those of David Howard, vicechair of the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board, who reminded the graduates of their faith with the words: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Always remember that Jesus asks of you only this â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to act justly, to love tenderly and to walk humbly with God.â&#x20AC;?

Similarly, valedictorian Mary McNulty spoke about the importance of persistence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life is a lot like riding a bicycle,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To keep your balance, you must keep moving.

And this is exactly what we are doing here this evening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When every single one of you walked across the stage tonight, not only did you look the part, but you detached the training wheels from your bikes, and prepared to charge headfirst into whatever life may have in store for you. Just like your first attempt at riding a bike, things may seem intimidating at first, but never fear, because eventually you will get the hang of things and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be tearing up your neighbourhood in no time.â&#x20AC;? Earlier in her address, she en-

couraged fellow graduates â&#x20AC;&#x153;to worry less about changing to fit in, and more about embracing who you are and what you like,â&#x20AC;? while keeping in mind the words of Father Ryan Holly: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let our current society see our selfie generation as a selfish generation.â&#x20AC;?

The eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major awards went to those students who displayed interest in academics, other school activities and their peers.

Among them was Sarah McGrath of Arnprior who received the prestigious Catholic Education Foundation of Ontario Catholic School Award for exemplary conduct, service and achievement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I put so much effort into my religion and my faith, and I worked to get here,â&#x20AC;? said the 19-year-old who was on the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pastoral team for four years.

Now headed to study media communications at Algonquin College, she said she will most miss the teachers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They care about your excellence, your achievements; and they work really hard with you to put you in this place that you are in today.â&#x20AC;?

Community - The Renfrew Adult High School honoured its graduating class of 2014 at the Renfrew Recreation Centre auditorium June 23.

Graduates were piped in by piper and teacher Marc Fournier. Fournier was also master of ceremonies for the evening.

Teacher Peggy McLeese welcomed guests while Renfrew County District School Board trustee Marjorie Doering gave greetings, and school board director Roger Clarke gave a message from the school board.

Valedictorian Katlynn Scully said the class has grown together at the Renfrew Adult High School.

“Peggy (McLeese) has taught up to always persevere and that we can do anything we put our minds to,” she said.

“Why didn’t I finish school the first time?

“Well, let’s begin. I went to a Catholic high school and took my English. I felt like I wasn’t accepted and appreciated. I came out as gay,” Scully said.

“That was hard enough. I felt like they had less respect for me.

“I gave up trying with my work and eventually I quit with only four credits remaining to get,” she added.

“I didn’t feel in the right place. I was very unhappy that I couldn’t participate in many things that I would have liked because of how people judged my sexual orientation.

“I believe that we’re all equal, no matter what your background is, or what sexual orientation you are. These ideas were strengthened when I came to the Adult High School. Since my time here, I have grown to become stronger and to be focused on who I am and what I want to be.”

Scully and her fellow students learned from each other at the school, she said.

The simple way to shop for insurance.

“We should be all extremely proud of ourselves and our teachers,” she concluded. “We each have gone through different struggles to get to this important day in our lives.”

Principal Loran Young presented the diplomas to the graduating class.

Valedictorian Eli Scott joins other RCIS graduates on trip down memory lane steve.newman@metroland.com

Community - Lost erasers, stinky lockers, kindness and motivation were among the school memories Eli Scott recalled in her valedictory address at Renfrew Collegiate Intermediate School June 23.

During the fourth annual graduation ceremony, she reminded fellow students of some of the important and recent journeys they have made. “Ten years ago our parents reluctantly let go of our hands as we left to our first day of kindergarten,” said Scott, one of RCIS’s 79 Grade 8 graduates.

“A mixture of nervousness and excitement coursed through our veins as we took our first step on our journey to become the people we are, and are still becoming, today.

“These last two years have been our final stage of elementary school. In our first years of schooling we were told the values of sharing and personal responsibility.

“Sharing,” added Scott, “took on its own meaning in Grade 8 due to the apparent lack of pencils, erasers, rulers, protractors, and calculators on the second floor of the school. Perhaps all of these instruments have been hoarded by Mrs. Edwards’s class on the first floor. I guess the rest of us will never know.”

For many RCIS students, lockers were a first-time school experience and a basis for a solid lesson in life, noted the valedictorian.

The responsibility of having a locker reinforced the lesson “to clean up our own messes before they affected others. Unfortunately, many of us didn’t follow this guideline, as exemplified by the slight aroma of rotting lunch-

es, sweaty gym shirts … while strolling down the Grade 8 hallway.”

In her address, Scott also applauded several teachers for their contributions, including Mr. Campbell for his “inclusive and encouraging nature” that motivated students to move out of their comfort zone and Mrs. Edwards for reminders that it’s important to be able to laugh at oneself. The valedictorian also called their teachers instrumental “in guiding us in our journey to becoming strong individuals; so too have our parents.”

Many parents attended the ceremony that featured recognition of student accomplishments and acknowledgement of veteran trustee Marjorie Doering before she retires in the fall of 2014.

Recognized students included Renfrew County District School Board medallion

winners, for academic accomplishment, for Catherine Beattie, Griffin Campbell, Lauren Campbell-Brunke, Faith Ebert, Abigail Emon, Cassandra Hewitt-Burnett, Danielle Kubiseski, Alecia Neill, Mikaela Ripley, Eli Scott, Sydney Smart and Lydia Spooner.

The top female athlete of the year was Sydney Smart, while Connor Fulton and Stephen Young shared top male-athlete-of-the-year honours.

Renfrew Lions Club citizenship awards went to J.D. Dixon and Morgan Eady, Moira Friske accepted the extracurricular award, Delaney Foy and Mikaela Ripley received perfect attendance awards, and Tyler Wilson was given a student success award.

The prestigious principal’s award went to Catherine Beattie for her involvement and leadership in many school activities.

Gone is the face we loved so dear, Silent is the voice we loved to hear, Too far away for sight or speech, But not too far for thought to reach.

Sweet to remember him who once was here, And who though absent is just as dear.

Loving wife Dolores Lance, Leanne and Dorothy

Forever in our hearts.

Love Bill and family.

Love Always,

Jack Lewis In memory of Edward Proulx (Ed) who passed away July 10, 2013.

A year has gone by so fast, The moment that you died.

Our hearts were torn in two, One side filled with heartache, The other died with you.

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

Remembering you is easy, We do it every day, But missing you is a heartache, That never goes away.

We hold you tightly within our hearts, And there you still remain, Until the joyous day arrives, That we will meet again.

Forever in our hearts, Love Isabel and Family

God took him home, it was His will, But in our hearts we love him still; His memory is as dear today, As in the hour he passed away.

We often sit and think of him, When we are all alone, For memory is the only friend, That grief can call its own.

This robin faces two challenges

Mary and Dwaine Turcotte have a robin coming to nest on their property that faces two challenges in the days ahead. It not only has partial albinism but is also missing a leg. There are patches of white feathers on the breast and on the back but all the remaining feathers are as they should be. The bird may gain its full colour plumage after the fall moult when the nesting season is over. As long as it demonstrates the proper mating displays, whether male or female, it will successfully gain a mate; carry out nesting duties and raise young.

Having one leg there does not seem to be any disadvantage for this robin. The bird appears to be very stable when perching.

Injuries like this can happen in several ways.

Getting caught in tangles of wire, a mouse or rat trap, or an encounter with a predator will result in the loss of a limb.

EASTERN KINGBIRDS

Joanne Jackson has seen many kingbirds and says it the most she has encountered in several years.

Florrie and Terry Gilmour at Garden Lake saw kingbirds for the first time this year. This is likely a come-back year for this species. They have been seen in locations where they have been absent for several seasons. The destructive storms they have encountered on their migration routes and the loss of habitat on their wintering grounds have reduced their numbers drastically.

Let us hope they are making a comeback because we need all the mosquito and black fly feeders we can get.

CHIPPING SPARROWS

Chipping sparrows at Barb and Tony Pollice’s property have had very bad luck raising a family. The grackles, blue jays and red squirrels have destroyed their every attempt. Chipping sparrows are careless when nesting. The female builds in a very conspicuous site where predators

can see the open nest and the young. The young leave the nest before they can fly and hop around on the ground and call for food informing all cats and other predators of their location. One suggestion we have to help the birds is to provide a cage in the location of their present nest where they can raise their young undisturbed.

We have a cage in our machine shed and a female chipping sparrow has built her nest inside the cage for several years. The young have fledged each year with some success.

The problem is to get the female to build her nest inside the cage rather than on top.

AMERICAN REDSTART

Ron and Ann Townson have a family of American redstarts on their property.

This warbler is very active, flitting about among the leaves and branches of deciduous undergrowth, tail fanned, displaying bright orange tail patches on the male and pale yellow tail patches of the female and immature birds.

During nest building, which takes up to a week to complete, the female will make between 650 and 700 trips to and from the nest with materials.

The nest is decorated on the outside with lichens, birch bark and plant down and bound together with spider silk. Inside the nest is lined with plant down.

NIGHTHAWKS

The number common nighthawks have been declining for several years.

The use of insecticides on their wintering grounds and the loss of nesting sites are to blame. It was therefore good to receive reports of sightings at two locations. Jack and Jane Clark heard and saw eight to 10 birds at Mount St. Patrick and Cathy Campbell saw and heard a single bird in Admaston-Bromley Township.

The sound of the male’s ``booming`` mating display, once heard on warm spring evenings, is now

JIM FERGUSON Scene from the Hawk’s Eye rare. However, the banning of insecticides in many areas and research on their nesting habits has made a comeback possible.

THEY HAVE ARRIVED

Young crows, ravens and blue jays have ar-

rived.

Their loud and insistent calling for food can be heard far and wide.

All three species are very protective of their young and any animal or bird that threatens them is met with loud warning calls to retreat or be mobbed.

There is no difficulty understanding these warning calls. They are sharp, high-pitched and very loud.

We have all heard them during the past week or two.

Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, RR5, Renfrew, Ont., K7V 3Z8.

News - The Township of Whitewater Region (WWR) is building a directory for its website to encourage the WWR Community to Buy Local. Phase One of the campaign is to identify every service and product available in WWR. Initial research shows that the number one reason for buying outside WWR is lack of information.

“If they don’t know or remember it is available here they go elsewhere to get it,” said Whitewater Region Mayor Jim Labow.

To motivate WWR residents to suggest businesses and resources, the municipality is organizing two draws: one for residents for a 46 inch television and another for business owners for a laptop computer.

Only a person residing in or operating a business in WWR is eligible to win. There is no limit to the quantity of entries per resident or business.

To enter the draw suggest the name of any business or resource on a ballot. Paper ballots and ballot boxes will be located at businesses all over

The team qualified for the playoff round by finishing fourth in the eight-team roundrobin with two wins, one loss and one tie.

Going into the final period the Pink Devils, as they were called all weekend, were down 4-2 but fought back to send the game into overtime with a 5-5 draw.

Eighteen seconds into overtime, a beautiful cross-ice pass found its way onto a Pink Devils stick, and was quickly shot into the Gloucester net, advancing the Pink Devils to the championship game.

Special honours for Moriarty, O’Gorman, Stafford

Report From Parliament:

Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News – Three volunteer workhorses were showered with praise during Admaston-Bromley Township’s annual Canada Day celebration of local citizenry.

The story is that 84-year-old Terry O’Gorman was asked when he plans to retire from farming life and volunteering in the community, only to reply, “When I get tired.”

For his untiring dedication to his farm and many years of volunteering, including 45 years with the board of the Cobden Fair, O’Gorman was recognized as senior citizen of the year.

Ann Moriarty, a long-standing volunteer behind many activities, such as Frosty Fun and St. Paddy’s Day in July, was singled out as citizen of the year.

And a completely-surprised Courtney Stafford, 17, was heralded as the youth citizen of the year at the ceremony emceed by Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe.

Moriarty had to get the day off work at the Bonnechere Manor, where she’s a personal support worker, so she wasn’t surprised about her award. But it didn’t stop her from being emotional and shedding several tears.

After being honoured before a crowd of more than 100 people that included her “extended family” of cousins and many friends, the 60year-old Douglas resident said, “It’s just unbelievable. I just never considered anything like this could happen. I just love my community.”

Moriarty knew she was one of the three Admaston-Bromley residents to be honoured at the township’s annual Canada Day festivities.

Her community contributions include organizing the Sunday supper at the annual Frosty Fun. She’s also an active Kinette and was a very active member of the Olympic torch committee that spearheaded Douglas’s involvement in the cross-country relay that passed through the village Dec. 13, 2009.

Moriarty was also praised for her dedication to her mom Margaret and friend Kathleen Gariepy. For years, with the assistance of friends, she looked after them in the Moriarty household so they didn’t have to move to a long-term care facility.

Coun. Dirk Rook (reading text from MP John Yakabuski who had pressing party commitments in Toronto) complimented Moriarty’s “tireless commitment” to her community.

SENIOR CITIZEN OF THE YEAR

O’Gorman didn’t know he was going to be recognized as senior of the year, until he noticed a multitude of family members had shown up for the

From left are youth citizen of the year Courtney Stafford, senior citizen of the year Terry O’Gorman and citizen of the year Ann Moriarty. annual Canada Day festivities at the municipal office.

Family members in attendance included his sons Michael, John and Tom. As senior citizen of the year, O’Gorman was recognized for a plethora of involvement in the community, including time as a 4-H leader, serving as president on the Eastern Ontario Breeders Association, and being a founding and continuing member of the Bromley Historical Society. A member of the Renfrew County Agricultural Wall of Fame since 2001, he has also been involved with the Renfrew County Milk Producers Committee, the Renfrew County Holstein Club, and the amalgamation committee that helped bring the former Admaston and Bromley municipalities together as one.

“They say he’s 84 years old, but I’d say he’s 84 years young,” said Coun. Robert Dick in acknowledging O’Gorman. “You’re a good farmer and a good citizen and a good young fellow.”

“This is indeed an honour … I didn’t expect anything like this,” said O’Gorman.

“But I got a bit suspicious when I saw all of my family here. I knew something was amuck.

“I have served on a lot of committees, and worked with

a lot of people over the years.

You know, we perhaps live in the best part of the world, in Admaston-Bromley. Everybody works together and everybody is there to help out, regardless of what the problem might be. I just can’t say enough about the area, and I have enjoyed everything I have done, and sometimes I wish I was able to do a bit more, but sometimes I just run out of time.”

Those saluting O’Gorman included former AdmastonBromley citizen of the year Dave Lemkay, who was representing MP Cheryl Gallant.

Gallant’s certificate referred to O’Gorman’s dedication to farm groups, his family and the community at large and for showing “wisdom and compassion” for others.

In his own words, Lemkay also said, “Terry is also known as a cattleman, but he’s also a gentleman, and it’s a pleasure to know you.”

YOUTH CITIZEN OF YEAR

As youth of the year, Stafford was recognized with her parents Randy and Joan looking on.

The recognition comes just before she heads off to university to pursue a medical degree and after being very active with several activities at

Renfrew Collegiate Institute, such as Blue Zone, Relay for Life and Free the Children.

She has also volunteered with the Renfrew and District Food Bank and the Renfrew Animal Hospital.

Modestly accepting the award, she said, “I just hope you people see how easy it is for students to get involved in the community in so many different ways that inspire others in here to get involved.”

“A bright and exciting future full of wonderful opportunities awaits you,” said a portion of MP Gallant’s certificate read to the gathering.

“Today, as we celebrate this special occasion, I commend you for your generous acts and I encourage you to continue to pursue such worthy endeavours.”

Representing AdmastonBromley council, Coun. Michael Donohue said it was gratifying to see someone as young as Stafford grasp the importance of community involvement.

“This is what makes people want to live in this community,” he said.

All three of the honoured citizens received certificates provided by MP Cheryl Gallant, MPP John Yakabuski, Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon and AdmastonBromley municipal council.

One of the great successes of the Federal Conservative Government has been our championing of Canadian goods, products and services to the rest of the world. We have accomplished this by promoting Canada as a free-trading nation and the signing of a record number of international trade agreements.

The irony of this accomplishment is that it is now easier to trade with some other countries than it is to trade with fellow Canadian provinces. With the goal of a healthier, stronger economy and job creation, Federal Industry Minister James Moore has announced our plan to modernize the 20-year-old Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT) between the provinces in line with current global economic realities. By improving the AIT, one of the first groups to benefit will be consumers with a greater choice of goods and services.

An example where consumers need better choice and service is in the Ontario electricity market. Renfrew County should be able to benefit from being on the Ontario, Quebec border. Rather than having to purchase electricity from the Ontario government default power monopoly, our power Local Distribution Companies (LDCs) should be able to choose to purchase cheap, abundant hydro electricity directly from Quebec or from a local supplier if the price is right. Consumers should be able to purchase electricity from a retailer without all the “green energy Act” add-on charges that cost more than the electricity portion of the bill. Ottawa River Power Corporation (ORPC) has a historic agreement to receive power from Quebec and better local management, contributing to it having the lowest power rates in the province.

Thank-you to all the residents of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke who took the time to fill out my latest survey questionnaire “Should You Be Able to Choose Where You Buy Your Hydro From?” If you have not done so, please let me know your answer. Your opinion is important to me.

In being able to choose where you buy your power, Ottawa Valley residents who own a cottage, hunt camp or trailer that is on the grid could say no to the latest policy pronouncement from the Liberal party in Toronto to charge a monthly fee regardless if the power is turned on for the “privilege” of being connected to the grid. This is estimated by the Consumer Policy Institute to cause a 50% spike in cottage power bills in addition to all the other projected price increases! Now that the provincial election is over, only a strong Federal government can act as a counter-balance to cushion the ruinous policies that have led to the hollowing out of the manufacturing sector in Ontario, thanks to out of control provincial electricity bills that are being manipulated as a social experiment for items like uneconomical industrial wind turbines, rather than applying natural laws of supply and demand that competition would encourage.

The perverse aspect of this policy is that their reason for increasing costs is to “save” the environment, when now it will be cheaper to run a seasonal gas generator. So much for clean air! Only through having the freedom to choose, and having competition in the market place will consumers and the environment be protected.

As your Federal Member of Parliament, I am pleased to represent you on a variety of issues. Whether that issue is promoting agriculture, international trade, Canadian Unity, AECL, the military or jobs in the working forest, I am here to serve you! As always, if you have any concerns of a federal nature, or just want to share your views with me, please do not hesitate to contact my office.

38 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, July 10, 2014

Bluegrass fundraiser July 14 in Arnprior Community - If you enjoy bluegrass or great acoustic music and want to show your support for people all across Renfrew County, come out July 14 for a wonderful evening with Junior Sisk and Ramblers Choice, an award winning band from Virginia.

The cost of medical travel can cause great hardship to those living on a fixed income. This is especially true for long distances and for dialysis, which usually happens three times each week! The Transportation Collaborative, working under

the sponsorship of Carefor Health and Community Services, works to provide as much subsidy as possible for those who need it.

The evening at St. John Chrysostom in Arnprior will start at 5 p.m. with a charity barbecue in the parking lot, with entertainment provided by local Ottawa Valley musicians.

The concert will follow, starting at 6:30 p.m. for ticket holders. For tickets, information or to volunteer, call Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support 613-432-7691.

Deputy-chief Allan Cole of the Horton Fire Department joins Keswick, Ont., visitor Ryland Gray, who tries out one of the fire trucks during a visit to great-grandparents Emmett and Aldene Gray.

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Heather Pickard of Horton Township received a major Canada Day birthday present.

At Horton Township Canada Day festivities, family members were selling tickets to the July 26 fundraiser for Heather and Ralph Pickard.

Little did they know that by 12:30 p.m. on Canada Day, Heather would be on the operating table at Toronto General Hospital for the start of a 10hour procedure to give her two new lungs.

In preparation for the surgery, the Pickards have taken up temporary residence in a Toronto apartment, and will have to remain there for several months so her medical condition can be monitored.

The fundraising benefit is to help pay for living expenses incurred in Toronto.

Heather, 68, required the surgery after being afflicted by a condition called pulmonary fibrosis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She got a new birthday, just like Canada,â&#x20AC;? said one of her sisters, Nora Snider of Pembroke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She gets a new chance at life. It means sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll actually be able to enjoy her retirement,â&#x20AC;?

Snider added, knowing her sister has been sick since retiring three years ago.

Heatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other siblings are Elva Brohart of Arnprior, Glen Styles of White Lake and Clarence Styles of Kinburn.

Meanwhile, family members continue to sell the $10 raffle tickets for the Heather Pickard Benefit taking place Saturday, July 26, at the Horton Community Centre.

The 8 p.m. fundraiser will feature raffles, a silent auction and musical entertainment.

Donations, or ticket purchases, can be made by contacting Elva Brohart of Arnprior (613-623-4599), Heatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter Cheryl Grenier (613623-7507) or George/Brenda Thompson of Renfrew (613432-7149).

Eligibility for benefits through Veterans Affairs has changed and new programs offered under the New Veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Charter.

TRINITY-ST. ANDREW’S UNITED CHURCH

One special hay bale remained in field Mary Cook Memories

Lifestyle - The sun was just starting to come up.

Father had roused the brothers, and with great effort they dressed, ate their breakfast in silence, and followed him to the barns.

They would head to the back fields, Father walking behind the team, King and Queen.

They would have to cross the creek and then the Bonnechere, at the lowest ebb, sloshing across in their work boots to get to the farthest reaches of the farm.

There was no bridge to go from the front section of the farm to what Father called “the back 40,” although the acreage across the river was much more than 40.

The hay had been mowed into windrows, and now sat in little stacks which the brothers and Father had worked at for several days, getting it ready to load onto the wagon and brought over to the hayloft in the barn.

They would be there for at least a whole day, working quickly just in case it rained, soaking the mounds of hay, which would have to be dried out before being put into the hay loft.

The flat topped wagon would already be in the field with board sides put on to hold the hay, and pitch-forks leaning against it ready for the job at hand.

It would be a long hot day ahead for Father and my three brothers.

Mother would have packed sandwiches and pieces of slab cake in an eleven quart basket, and jars of water with shards of ice.

By the time the sun was high in the sky and my own chores done in the house, Mother would say, “alright, Mary, you can head out now if you want.”

I would carry another basket of sandwiches, and more water to tide Father and the brothers over.

Running like the wind, I would cross the water where

an old tree had fallen across at a narrow point, using it as a bridge, saving me from walking in the water. I would tear up the west hill like someone possessed, ever aware that I was alone, cut off from Mother at home, and the men working in the fields far away.

The field was the biggest on the farm, even bigger than what we called the ’20-acre field’ that separated our farm from the Thoms.

A rail fence, put up by Father’s great grandfather, circled the field, and a log gate was at one end where Father could take the team in an out when necessary.

That day, when I got to the field, the work was still all at the farthest end, and the mounds of hay still to be loaded onto the wagon reminded me of the gumdrops in a big glass jar sitting on the counter at Briscoe’s General Store.

I was barely through the gate when I saw the bird.

I stopped dead so as not to frighten it.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

Legacy Gift will generate $42.2 MILLION for CHEO over next 100 years Weldon Cochrane was an Ottawa chartered accountant and partner with the accounting firm of Coopers and Lybrand (now PriceWaterhouseCoopers) and was also the Treasurer on the CHEO Foundation Board. Mr. Cochrane had an appreciation for the importance of leaving a legacy and understood how to make an impact when he decided to made a gift in his Will to CHEO. He left the residual of his estate with instructions for it to be endowed; meaning that the capital would be preserved in perpetuity and the annual interest would be used to fund the important work at CHEO. When Mr. Cochrane died in 1985 the CHEO Foundation received $540,000

from his estate and established the Weldon Cochrane Endowment Fund as directed in his Will. Much has happened and changed at CHEO since his death and in that time his legacy gift has grown to $4.6 million.

(20%) will be reinvested bringing the total value of the fund to $6.2 million. In 50 years $15 million (80%) will go to the hospital and $3.8 million (20%) will be reinvested bringing the total value of the fund to $8.4

As CHEO marks its 40th anniversary this year, we look back and honour not only those in our community who made our local children’s hospital a reality, but also donors like Mr. Cochrane who made children a priority. Why not honour what is most important to you during your lifetime The impact of Mr. Cochrane’s generous gift is probably beyond what by considering a gift in Will to CHEO. Our he could have even imagined when he made it over 30 years ago. children, youth and families deserve to Moving forward 80 percent of the interest million.

The remaining 20 of the fund to $15.2 million. and healthy lives now and forever. percent will be reinvested to allow the fund His legacy lives on and continues to make to continue to grow. In 25 years $6.4 million a difference in the lives of young patients (80%) will go to the hospital and $1.6 million at CHEO today, and for future generations.

Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; Memories Continued from page 42

It was on one of the hay stacks, its head deep in the hay, and its tail fluttering. I put the basket down and walked slowly towards the hay, and the bird showed its displeasure by swooping in and out of the hay declaring ownership. I knew it was nesting, and knew too, there were either eggs or baby birds deep inside. Before the day was out, that mound of hay would be on the wagon, and the birds nest and whatever was in it, gone. I dropped the basket and ran through the field to where Father and the boys were forking the hay onto the wagon, and cried to Father that there was one haystack that he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t touch, and told him why. Emerson said he was heading right over to the place with the fork, and that would be the end of the birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nest.

Father told him to stay where he was ... there was plenty of work to do at that end of the field. And then Father followed me over to the gate and the haystack where the little bird had nested. He put his finger to his lips, signalling me to be quiet.

The bird was frantic, making a lot of noise and going in and out of the hay, hovering, and proclaiming ownership again. Father took my hand and led me towards the opening in the field before he spoke. He said one haystack left in the field would neither make nor break us, and he saw no reason why the bird couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be left alone. I was so overjoyed, I hugged his overall covered leg, and thanked him over and over again.

I gave Father the basket, and he headed back to where the boys were working, and I headed over towards the west hill and home to tell Mother about the little bird frantically trying to protect its nest.

I told her how Father said it would be left alone to hatch its eggs, or feed its babies, whatever the case may be.

Mother smiled and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just like something your father would do.â&#x20AC;? And so for the rest of the season, standing alone in that big hay field, was one small mound. It would shrink in size. It would turn brown from the sun, but it would have served as a safe haven to a little bird who called it home.

Community support Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Community - Matacushie Community Development recently raised funds from the sale of Nevada tickets at Pine Valley Restaurant in Griffith. Proceeds allowed area students Hannah VanIderstine and Ethan Hartman to go on a Grade 8 school trip to Toronto. Pine Valley Restaurant owners Bert and Carol Kauffeldt made the cheque presentations.

Matacushie Community Development president Louis Johnson thanked the Griffith, Denbigh and Matawatchan communities for their support in making the May 27 school trip possible, plus providing food and more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without the community we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it, and without Carol and Bert, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t to it. That is so good of them,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said.

Paddlers travel lower Bonnechere to Ottawa River Bonnechere River Watershed Project

RENFREW'S HISTORIC THEATRE

BONNECHERE RIVER WATERSHED PROJECT

Sixteen participants, and one dog, made the journey from the lower Bonnechere River to the Ottawa River.

R0751950109

Community - Sixteen people in canoes and kayaks explored the lower section of the Bonnechere River on Saturday, June 21, when Kathy Lindsay, Bonnechere River Watershed chair, and Ole Hendrickson, president of the Ottawa River Institute, co-led a fabulous paddle excursion, downriver from Renfrew.

Paddlers collected bits of garbage along the way and amassed a large amount at the First Chute, before enjoying a shore lunch.

Paddlers had many opportunities to see many bird species, including kingfishers, sandpipers, mallard ducks, a barred owl, herons and king birds as well as numerous sunbathing turtles and other wildlife and vegetation along the river.

Certainly the beauty of the First Chute, one of the most scenic spots on the entire Bonnechere, was

the highlight of the day!

The trip ended at the Horton Township Boat Launch, where paddlers were shuttled back to Renfrew.

The paddle partners included the Town of Renfrew who cleared an area and allowed paddlers to put-in at the water treatment centre, and the Township of Horton, who provided parking passes for the shuttle vehicles at the boat launch and agreed to pick up the collected garbage.

The next paddle is scheduled for July 12, from Eganville to the Bonnechere Caves and will include fiddling as well as paddling, and an optional BBQ and fiddle do after the paddle.

To register for the paddle, email info@BonnechereRiver.ca and see the Bonnechere River Watershed Project website for information on this and other paddles scheduled for this summer’s eventgs at www.

10,000 drivers involved in collisions with animals every year in Ontario a wild animal may result in loss of control and a more serious collision. If you do encounter large wildlife such as deer, moose, elk or bears on the road and can safely avoid hitting them, do so, but be absolutely certain that oncoming traffic or soft shoulders do not put you and others at risk.

â&#x20AC;˘ Do not direct your full attention to the animal when you take measures to avoid hitting it, because this almost always results in colliding with the animal. Instead, focus your attention on the alternative route you decide to take, again only if this manoeuvre doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t place you and others in danger.

R0012774159

News - Ontario boasts some of the most scenic driving for those who live in and visit the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vast rural communities, but it comes with a cost with more than 10,000 drivers a year being involved in wildlife collisions.

From 2009 to 2013, close to 60,000 wildlife collisions were reported to the OPP. Nineteen of the people involved in these collisions died and more than 2,200 of them sustained injuries.

OPP data show that spring and fall are times when motorists driving in rural areas need to be extra cautious as wildlife becomes more active.

It is important to remember that deer, moose and elk crossing signs are only posted where there are frequent sightings or crossings, however these animals can be seen anywhere at any time.

Drivers should therefore maintain a heightened level of awareness when driving in rural areas that are absent of these signs.

The OPP is reminding motorists that they can take precautions to reduce their risk of a collision with wildlife: â&#x20AC;˘ Scan the road ahead from shoulder to shoulder. Moose, elk and deer are particularly active in the spring, especially at dawn and dusk, as they search for food. Deer rarely travel alone, so when motorists see one there are likely more nearby. â&#x20AC;˘ Watch your speed and be careful when driving at night. Slowing down will give you more time to respond.

Avoiding driving after dark when possible can greatly reduce the risk of colliding with an animal. â&#x20AC;˘ Brake firmly if an animal is standing on or crossing the road, stopping if necessary. Swerving to avoid hitting
