Diversity Festival Drumming performances and workshops were crowd pleasers at Saturday’s Diversity Festival in Renfrew. Keeping the beat onstage are, from left, Liam Anstey, Amish Embounou, Hailie Harris and Darius Moghaddam.

A waste-management recommendation by Horton resident Angie Charbonneau could see the light of day.

She has asked the municipality to consider flip-flopping the frequency of garbage and recycling pickups. That would mean switching weekly garbage to bi-weekly runs, and switching bi-weekly recycling pickup to weekly runs.

Charbonneau, who lives on Pastway Road with her husband and two young children, says her recommendation is based on the notion that less garbage is better for the environment.

“Itʼs more of a responsibility to the environment,” she told The Mercury.

“I just think itʼs a good habit to recycle. When we have our garbage pickup weekly, itʼs so easy to throw a yogurt container or an empty milk bag into the garbage.”

Charbonneau has also seen that more garbage can cost more. She recalls living a few years ago in neighbouring Whitewater Region, where filled garbage bags were costing $3 apiece.

In neighbouring Renfrew, pickups are weekly for garbage and bi-weekly for recycling.

Charbonneau pointed out that the City of Ottawa is moving from weekly to bi-weekly curbside garbage pickup up in November.

“If the City of Ottawa can do it, Horton Township can do it,” she said.

“We need some incentive (to collect less garbage),” she added. “Itʼs just being a respectable Canadian citizen and a respectable citizen in general.”

Coun. Jamey Larone, who chairs the townshipʼs waste management committee, said the idea has been under consideration and arrangements are being made to meet with its local contractor.

Hortonʼs recycling and garbage pickup are done by Renfrew-based Renfrew County Recycling.

“Weʼve talked about it for a number of years,” said Horton chief administrative officer Mackie McLaren. “Now weʼre trying to get prices for the cost of pickup to see if we can afford it. Recycling pickup is twice the cost of garbage pickup because it includes processing.”

If the move is made, the CAO said it would be for environmental, not financial, reasons. “Itʼs not an even tradeoff to switch to blue box pickup weekly and garbage biweekly.”

McLaren said the practice isnʼt new science, but appears to be a recent tendency of larger municipalities.

Remembering The Hotel Renfrew Local artist Joanne Kalimeris has completed a watercolour/acrylic depiction of the old Hotel Renfrew that was built in 1913 and sat at the corner of Raglan and Renfrew Avenues (current site of Scotiabank) before being destroyed by fire in 1968. The original painting is available at Donohueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Art and Frame in Renfrew, as are reproductions in two sizes. At left, Kalimeris signs number 10 of 200 special numbered prints for Debra Kasaboski who took Buster Brown step dancing lessons at the Hotel Renfrew back in 1967 as Donohue Art and Frame owner Dan Donohue looks on. Kalimeris says the painting took six months to complete, as detail was drawn into every â&#x20AC;&#x153;tiny, tiny brick.â&#x20AC;? The Hotel Renfrew holds many memories for local residents, including a visit by former Prime Minister John Diefenbaker. The hotel was also saluted in song by the late Ottawa Valley singer-songwriter Mac Beattie.

Above is an advertisment for the hotel that Kalimeris found in an old edition of The Renfew Mercury.

Whiting stands tall with county tourism talk Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

SheĘźs an Alberta gal, but a sparkling advertisement for spending tourism dollars in Renfrew County.

Nicole Whiting, of the two-year-old OntarioĘźs Highlands Tourism Organization, manages one of the provinceĘźs 13 regional tourism organizations that are working to attract more tourists to their respective backyards.

That sometimes takes advertising, which OHTO is doing mostly the digital way, but also by word of mouth.

Whiting attended the June 28 meeting of Renfrew County council where she was the only delegation. Given that everyone was heading into Canada Day weekend, she said it was appropriate that travel and leisure were on the minds of many residents.

She also shared her own enthusiasm for her new home.

Brought up in Alberta, she left Calgary to come East to study. She returned West to work for a while, but came East again, to Renfrew County, where she and husband Ken Whiting began Heliconia Press. She left the company two years ago to join OHTO, but her husband and staff continue to produce special programming for NBC Sports, Outside Television and the World Fishing Network.

In her position as OHTO manager, she has the task of spearheading tourismĘźs proďŹ le in the local region that consists of Renfrew, Haliburton Lennox and Addington, Hastings, Frontenac and Lanark counties.

ItĘźs the second largest tourism region in Ontario, at 23,840 square kilometres. The region also features more than 700 lakes and major river systems, including the Rideau Canal, more than 400 animal species, and over 20 species of ďŹ sh.

Notable to-visit locations on OHTOĘźs website include one of CanadaĘźs smallest jail houses, CanadaĘźs only clock museum, and scores of canoe and kayak routes that have helped name the Ottawa Valley the Whitewater Capital of Canada.

Whiting says the region needs so share its world-class outdoor experiences with the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And we can do that, particularly because of the fact that online anyone can reach target markets,â&#x20AC;? she stresses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No longer do you need multi-million dollar budgets to reach the people you think would be 2 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, July 12, 2012

attracted to the types of experiences you have to offer.â&#x20AC;?

With an annual budget of about $1 million, Whiting said the organization is using its tight budget primarily in the area of digital advertising to increase the regionĘźs attractiveness to tourists.

She spoke about all the â&#x20AC;&#x153;great tourism initiatives that are happening in the Valley,â&#x20AC;? and the cooperative work being done in partnership with various organizations, including the Ottawa Valley Tourist Association, to â&#x20AC;&#x153;help support and leverage tourism excellence across the region.â&#x20AC;? She also told listeners that tourism is OntarioĘźs ninth-ranked export industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given these economic realities, this has changed how government views in ministry of tourism, culture and sport. ItĘźs now considered an economic ministry.â&#x20AC;?

Meanwhile, OHTO is among 13 regional tourism organizations created in 2010, and funded by the provincial government, to promote tourism. Provincial support for the 13 tourism organizations includes $40 million in annual funding as they press the theme of Go Tourism.

Each regional tourism organization, therefore, has received base funding of $500,000, and proportional allocation that was $409,000 for this year. ThatĘźs the lowest of the 13 tourism organizations, with that amount expected to rise about two per cent per year.

New, for 2013, will be the introduction of a partner-funding program. This may result in additional funds, amounting to up to 20 per cent of the proportional-allocation funding â&#x20AC;&#x153;to encourage other organizations, and municipalities, who have an interest in tourism, to work with OntarioĘźs Highlands Tourism Organization.â&#x20AC;?

With about 500 members, OHTO is a freemembership-based organization that is open to tourism business within OHTOĘźs boundaries.

The 15-member board of directors meets once monthly, while OHTOĘźs day-to-day activities are handled by a staff that consists of manager Whiting, marketing and communications co-ordinator Emily Sheff, tourism development and industry relations co-ordinator Stephanie Hessel, and administrative assistant Laura Slater.

OHTOĘźs ofďŹ ces are at 9 International Drive in Pembroke. To reach OHTO, email info@ ohto.ca, or call 613-629-6486.

OUR WORLD

The adventure of a lifetime Special to The Mercury

Caroline Holley, a former Miss Teen Ontario East and a delegate in Miss Teen Canada-World-2011 Pageant, has just returned from Kenya. One year ago Caroline was given six weeks to fundraise for the pageantĘźs focus charity, Free the Children. Many Renfrew and area residents attended her various events which enabled Caroline to raise $1,6626.75, win the Top Fundraiser Title and earn the opportunity to travel with Free the Children to a location of her choice.

May 13 Caroline embarked on a journey across the world to Kenya, Africa. Imagine your very ďŹ rst air ďŹ&#x201A;ight taking you from Montreal to Zurich and on to Nairobi, Africa.

Her group included 21 girls and two boys from across Canada. The group also included three facilitators and two Maasai Warriors.

From the airport the group travelled to the Maasai Mara Region for three weeks, during which time they grew as a family, depending upon each other for friendship and support.

Their accommodations consisted of tents, each housing threre or four people, equipped with cots and mosquito netting. Settling down the ďŹ rst night,one of CarolineĘźs camp mates screamed as she spotted a strange orange bug, similar to a dragonďŹ&#x201A;y, but having a larger body.

Tent frenzy! Screaming girls! â&#x20AC;&#x153;ItĘźs alright, ladies, itĘźs just a harmless sausage bug,â&#x20AC;? said one of the two Maasai Warriors who were body guards armed with bows and arrows and machetes.

Midnight trips to the outdoor facilities were scary, but wearing head lamps and loudly stomping their feet helped to keep vermin at bay.

Early morning and off to the mess tent where western style food was a pleasant surprise.

Only one day was devoted to eating Kenyan food â&#x20AC;&#x201C; oogalie, a tasteless porridge-like dish made of ďŹ&#x201A;our and water for breakfast, followed at supper with the same base dish but with cabbage added â&#x20AC;&#x201C; brought a whole new appreciation for Western cuisine. All lunches were pasta, rolls and fresh vegetables. Caroline remarked that she had never eaten so much bread.

Off to work â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the real reason for being there â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to dig the

trenches for a large teacherĘźs accommodation building. The large rocks and hard soil, to be broken by pick axes, proved challenging in the African heat, especially since clothing was long pants and hiking boots, worn to avoid injury.

As Caroline wielded her axe and spade, she longed for the tools of the western world which would have made the task so much easier. I imagine she was wishing for one of Grandpa BurnettĘźs tractors with a back hoe. The motivation, however, was seeing the completed building alongside their empty site. Look at what someone else has already done!

Then off to the shower stall located near the tents, a porta pott-sized facility with a round tent drum on top. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maji Moto, please come now.â&#x20AC;? That was the call for the hot water man who ďŹ lled the top drum as they used the precious hot water very sparingly, controlling the ďŹ&#x201A;ow by a handle.

Visiting the locals gave Caroline a new perspective on home. Round huts of mud, cow dung, straw and grass, consisting of one large room for the animals and a smaller room for the family are the norm. Animals are protected day and night as they are often the sole livelihood.

The small family room is often very crowded, with only mats for sleeping on the ground, but, in CarolineĘźs words, â&#x20AC;&#x153;ItĘźs important that we understand that although our homes may look different, the family environment and the love that is found in them is the same.â&#x20AC;?

I guess it is all a matter of perspective. It is the same home, just different walls.

ReďŹ&#x201A;ecting on the people, Caroline noted how happy they are, as the children played soccer with the group, laughing at the westerners falling over their boots, while the children raced around in bare feet scoring all the goals.

Anytime and anywhere the group was enthusiastically welcomed with waves, shouts of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jambo!â&#x20AC;? (hello) and everpresent smiles, a happy people chuckling at the group trying to learn Swahili.

Visiting the schools was enlightening as they observed the eagerness to learn in an environment being improved

by Free the Children.

ments in fresh drinking water from the new wells was signiďŹ cant â&#x20AC;&#x201C; another project from the above charity.

However, to collect water for laundry, bathing and cleaning, the Mamas walk three to six kilometres several times daily, carrying the dark brownish water in jerry cans attached by ropes and stretched across the forehead.

Caroline and group members tried the task and she will never forget the pain and exhaustion she felt in walking only one kilometre, and having partners to spell off . We should remember this as we liberally turn on our faucets.

The Baraka Health Centre is another plus for the area.

Following western standards, it is similar to our emergency rooms, people being directed according to illness severity for consultation, examination or surgery. The recovery room only holds two people and no one is kept in the centre over night due to lack of space and staff. A garden outside the hospital shows patients and the community how to plant and maintain healthy crops.

Mamas in the community make jewelry from beads supplied by Free the Children as an extra support for family. Learning self-sufďŹ ciency!

This is referred to as the Alternative Income Pillar, one of Free the ChildrenĘźs four pillars which also include The Health Pillar, Education Pillar, Water Pillar. All are important and work together to establish the Adopt a Village system that Free The Children created.

No visit to Africa would be complete without a safari, and Caroline and her group were fortunate to see zebras, giraffes, gazelles, wart hogs, cheetahs and many other animals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A magical day,â&#x20AC;? says Caroline.

Upon her return home, climbing into her own bed, the entire experience ďŹ&#x201A;ooded her being, bringing her to tears as she thought of the Kenyan people who â&#x20AC;&#x153;live in the moment,â&#x20AC;? a happy people, grateful for the help from beyond their borders.

As she snuggled under her beautiful covers, on her comfortable mattress, she thought about the little ones curled up on their mats in their African homes and focused on the memories of the smiling faces.

POLITICS

Orange Crush could come to Renfrew, says NDP MP Ravignat New Democrat Treasury Board Critic Mathieu Ravignat spoke to Renfrew-NipissingPembroke New Democrats about what got him elected as part of the “Orange Crush” of NDPers who got elected federally in 2011.

Local party activists find themselves in the unprecedented position of having an elected New Democrat in an adjacent federal riding, so they invited Ravignat, a 40year old researcher and trade union activist before being elected, to join them for a meet-and-greet.

Although political dynamics are different in Ontario from in Quebec, what riding New Democrats have in common with Pontiac NDPers is that they are facing incumbent Conservatives.

In 2011, Ravignat defeated former Conservative Cabinet minister Lawrence Cannon.

Some of the same factors will be at play in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, he said.

“The Conservative base in the riding is slowly getting older and older,” Ravignat said about his riding but could have said this about RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke. More importantly, he said, todayʼs Harper Conservatives turn off

many old Progressive Conservatives.

“I spent a lot of my campaign explaing to that base that the Conservatives of the day are not the Conservatives of yesterday. There are ways to convince Conservatives to vote NDP. There are questions of fairness that concern oldstyle PCs.” “They, like any good Canadian, do not like unfair government, untransparent government, or the tactics that have been used since the election by this government.”

Ravignat said many older Conservatives have approached him since the election and “Said, in a whisper, ʻI didnʼt vote for you but next time I will.ʼ I ask why and they tell me, ʻThose guys arenʼt good people.ʼ” Due to the Orange Wave and the early success of new NDP leader Thomas Mulcair, the NDP has become electable in every riding in Canada, Ravignat said.

“We are now the strategic vote. Itʼs as true here as itʼs true in Quebec as itʼs true in Saskatchewan. If you want to replace the Conservatives in this riding, we are the solution.”

Ravignat spoke with pride

Mathieu Ravignat with some of the audience. of his partyʼs work in opposition the the Conservativesʼ omnibus budget bill C-38. “It was a typical omnibus strategy pulled from the Mike Harris days, and we have the same enemies as back then, people like Tony Clement, Jim Fla-

herty and John Baird.

Theyʼre reproducing a lot of the harm they did in Ontario federally.”

C-38, he said, was used to introduce changes to legislation “that had nothing to do with the budget. Deregulation

of environment policies including fish habitat protection.

Raising the age of eligibility for OAS, changes to EI.” Changes to Employment Insurance, he said will “basically empty my riding of seasonal workers. They will be

forced to move or work thatʼs not in their field for much lower wages.”

The budget was a hard issue to explain to people, he said, “But when you explain it, no citizen in this country likes their democracy abused.”

Renfrew County enjoys higher than average employment rate Cheryl Gallant Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP

With the busy summer season now upon us, be sure to take extra care on the roads and waterways.

It was a productive, orderly and hard-working session of the House of Commons.

Our governmentʼs top priority continues to be creating jobs, growth and long-term prosperity.

We are committed to achieving the right balance of appropriate resource regulation, strong social programs and job creation, while continuing on our path to fiscal sustainability.

We delivered on our governmentʼs commitment to Canadians to strengthen our economy and support Canadian families and jobs.

Our Economic Action Plan is working. We have already seen the creation of nearly 760,000 net new jobs across Canada since July 2009.

Renfrew County continues to enjoy a higher than average employment rate.

In addition to passing Bill C-38, the Jobs, Growth and Long-term Prosperity

Act which implements many important measures from Economic Action Plan 2012, our government passed bills focused on economic growth that will: • support the creation of high-quality jobs in the digital and creative sectors by modernizing Canadaʼs copyright rules; • safeguard Canadaʼs economy by updating the laws which support Canadaʼs banking system and make it the soundest in the world; and • strengthen Canadaʼs retirement system by offering pooled registered pension plans.

Our government has also moved forward on its other important priorities, including legislation to: • clarify the law on citizenʼs arrest and streamline the laws on self-defence; • protect Canadians by keeping our commitment to passing the Safe Streets and Communities Act within 100 sitting days; • eliminate the wasteful and ineffective long-gun registry; and • protect Canadaʼs immi-

gration system by strengthening the refugee determination process and tougher penalties for human smugglers.

In less than six years, our government has concluded new free trade agreements with nine countries: Colombia, Jordan, Panama, Peru, the European Free Trade Association (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland), and Honduras.

Finding new markets for our Renfrew County farm producers is included with each new trade agreement.

Canada has also begun deepening trade and investment ties with the largest, most dynamic and fastestgrowing markets in the world, including Brazil, China, the countries of the European Union, India and Japan.

Our governmentʼs economic policies have made Canada an island of stability in a troubled global economy.

Valley residents can count on their Member of Parliament to continue to provide strong economic leadership and what you tell me matters most to you: jobs, growth and long-term prosperity.

MP Gallant notes Renfrew’s plan for pool Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant has announced a new, federal Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund in Ontario, and welcomes applications.

Community and recreational facilities are now eligible for repairs and upgrades through the fund.

The program in Ontario will be allocating $49.6 million over two years in pre-

dominantly rural southern and eastern Ontario.

“Community residents have shared a number of proposals with me. Renfrew has had plans for a new community pool. The folks around Dacre, in the municipality of Greater Madawaska, would like a new recreation hall, and the librarian in Killaloe, Nicole Zumach, has spoken of the desire for a new library

6 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, July 12, 2012

facility,” says Gallant.

“If any municipality has any project shovel ready, I encourage them to submit an application as soon as possible.”

Eligible recipients may receive contributions of up to $1 million and must leverage a minimum of 50 per cent of funding from other sources.

The application deadline is Aug. 24.

15 per cent hike in annual subsidy for Opeongo non-profit complex Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Renfrew County council has approved a $40,000 addition, or 15 per cent hike, to the Opeongo Non-Profit Housing Corporationʼs annual operating budget.

Despite county councilʼs June 28 approval, Admaston-Bromley Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe asked social services director, Dave Anderson, if a report could be brought back to the social services committee with more detail about how the money will be

spent and to ensure this isnʼt just a band-aid approach.

Anderson said he will provide such a report, likely by September.

Briscoe also told county council she supports the extra investment.

Anderson said the countyʼs job, as service manager of the facility, is to ensure the non-profit corporation has the proper tools to run the 42-unit building on Vimy Boulevard South in Renfrew. The two-storey townhouses, which were built in 1975, consist of 28 two-bedroom units and

14 three-bedroom units. Tenants pay their own electricity and natural gas costs. The corporation pays for water and sewer charges.

However, the facilities arenʼt quite revenue neutral because of a combination of factors. These include a high turnover rate of tenants and maintenance issues.

These issues were discussed in detail at a June 12 meeting involving the chair, vice-chair and administrator of the Opeongo Non-Profit Housing Corporation, Renfrew County

Housing Corporation general manager Carol Neill and Anderson.

At the time, eight units were said to be empty because maintenance and clean-out had not occurred. All building maintenance, including painting and cleaning, is done by the administrator. According to the social services committee summary of the situation, “Between moveouts, transfers out of the complex, evictions, clean-up, rent arrears, interior repairs, collections and tribunal hearings, the non-profit corporation

is unable to have the units available for occupancy.”

Difficulties, says the report, include the behaviour of vacating tenants “trash units and leave old possessions behind,” leaving the administrator with a weekʼs work to prepare a unit for re-occupancy.

For 2010 to 2012, the county subsidy has been $264,043 to $269,844.

Anderson says the extra $40,000 will go for painting, other repairs, more maintenance staff hours, and providing administrative support.

OPINION EDITORIAL

Please stay safe and stay alive on the water this summer

H

owever you choose to spend time this summer, remember to keep safety in mind – especially if those plans include time on the water.

The Canadian Safe Boating Council has issued a notice calling on more of us to take more seriously the issue of personal flotation devices (PFDs), better known as life preservers or life jackets.

Every few days each summer – especially after

weekends – there are sad stories to be told about another Canadian losing their life to drowning. Weʼre a nation of rivers, lakes and streams, and so many of us love getting out on the water.

Too many of us – whether out for a day of fishing, canoeing or pleasure boating – still choose to head out without either wearing a PFD or having the requisite number of life jackets on board. The end result, as the organization outlines, can be tragic.

The question, of course, is why? Why do so many adults not wear this potentially lifesaving gear?

Many likely feel they are strong enough swimmers to overcome any unforeseen situation. But whether itʼs a strong undertow or the shock of hitting cold water causing what the council refers to as “gasp reflex,” thereʼs really no way of knowing how one will react once overboard.

If you still think life jackets have to be made out

of bulky slabs of Styrofoam, you need to take a look at todayʼs store shelves.

The latest designs now on the market are lightweight and come in a range of styles and colours that should suit any fashion taste. Theyʼre not much bulkier or heavier than a T-shirt.

Thereʼs even a new inflatable design with automatic inflation that fills the PFD with air as soon as you hit the water. Some boaters will still say a short trip doesnʼt necessitate the bother of even placing a PFD in the vessel.

And yet statistics tell a different story. Close to 140 un-

necessary drownings occur in Canada every year, according to the safe boating council.

Roughly 80 per cent of those recreational boaters who lose their life on water werenʼt wearing a life jacket.

As the council promotes: Itʼs Your Life...Preserve It.

COLUMN

Though we are many, we are one Reporter’s note: The following opinion piece was prepared in advance of the July 7 Diversity Festival in Renfrew. Congratulations to organizers, participants, performers and the public on a fabulous event that appealed to all the senses with music, food, colour and lots of spirit.

Sherry Haaima sherry.haaima@metroland.com

The concept of diversity has always been of particular interest to this community newspaper reporter.

After all, our papers are filled with stories about people, events and issues that run the gamut. It is one of the more attractive things about the job, in fact. You never quite know where the day may take you – and the variety is refreshing.

And so, while the schedule of a full-time newspaper job – let alone the demands of a growing family and the self-destructive habit of being disorganized – doesnʼt leave much wiggle room, there is no doubt the Diversity Festival is something for which I can sacrifice some of that precious free time.

Planned as a day filled with music, vendors, food and more in and around Renfrewʼs Low Square July 7, and bookended by Dragonʼs Breath, a theatrical performance featuring community members, the festival encourages the community to open its eyes and arms to those around them.

The Diversity Festival is about tolerance and acceptance of everyone. Of course the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual and transgendered community is included in this everyone and is an important segment of society to make feel welcome and accepted.

In fact, my personal interest in this festival was borne from

a desire to increase awareness and acceptance for the GLBT community.

Teen suicides, bullying and intense instances of homophobia are among the reasons this issue sits closer to my heart than some.

In July 2005, when Canada became the fourth country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage, we ran an opinion piece in which I applauded the move.

The letters, phone calls and emails, most reasonably civil if not intolerant, that followed, were numerous. More than one reader was incensed, some were irrational and if I had a nickel for every Bible verse I was quoted at that time, well, Iʼd have a few bucks at least. The most disturbing? A copy of the column, the last one Iʼve written (until now), with words scrawled, black and block-lettered ʻYou support sodomy and bestiality.ʼ Threw me for a loop, all that excitement, and indicated to me there is work to be done.

And itʼs not just the GLBT community that needs our support.

So do those of various cultures, religions, socio-economic statuses and physical abilities and this event recognizes and celebrates the similarities and the differences in each and every one of us.

The Diversity Festival is not a pride parade and organizers are clear that it will not resemble the adult-themed pride events seen in cities that festival naysayers worry it will become.

Renfrew and its neighbouring communities are filled with people giving endlessly of their time and providing vital support for countless important organizations.

The Diversity Festivalʼs catalyst, Marcus Magdalena,

is among those stepping out to try to make strides in education and acceptance of others.

An out-of-the-closet transsexual male, the Toronto area native, who now calls Renfrew home, started the ball rolling with his 2011 performance, Unicorn With a Cape, followed by Memoirs of a Genderless Warrior.

Both performances explored his journey through gender identity issues, addiction and depression.

Both, in a compelling and poignant way, shed light on how it must feel to be confused and rejected and alone.

The Ottawa Valley, for the most part, is a warm and welcoming place. Case in point, Marcus, who, coming to live near his twin sister and her family, also found the love and support and friends he needed to get healthy and thrive.

He is back doing what he loves and where he belongs – onstage, preparing for Dragonʼs Breath.

And while many were welcoming faces and had kind words as he settled and found his way around small-town life, some were not.

He joined others in noticing wonderful, productive people moving away to find the freedom they needed to live as themselves or others living closeted lives, preferring to keep their relationships or sexuality secret rather than be one of just several individuals widely known to be gay.

He, along with numerous people in Renfrew and surrounding communities, recognized the need for more education and acceptance at the local level – of the growing diversity in our community, be it cultural, religious and beyond – and following a small meeting late last year at Renfrewʼs town hall, the Diversity Festival was born.

Paul and Fritz Klaesi were recently honoured with a 2011 Ministerʼs Award for Environmental Excellence.

The brothers operate Fepro Farms, a 320-hectare dairy farm outside of Cobden.

Originally from Switzerland, the brothers produce as much as possible on their own, including energy to run their farm.

Motivated by the desire to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels, they installed a biodigester to generate electricity from manure. Biodigesters are environmentally and economically beneficial, divert waste and provide green energy.

In 2002, the Klaesi brothers installed a 499-kilowatt biodigester, which converts the manure from their farm into methane gas, used for producing electricity.

The biodigester produces enough electricity to power the farm, while achieving these results: • reduced contamination of surface water, groundwater and other resources; • conversion of waste into high quality organic fertilizer, so there is less reliance on conventional fertilizers and pesticides; • waste diversion for hard-to-manage wastes; • reduced greenhouse gas emissions; • odour control; • green energy: the biodigester runs all-year round, producing enough energy to power 300 average homes.

Fepro Farms is a leader in demonstrat-

Renfrew Lions remain among the top clubs in the region Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

The Renfrew Lions Club held its Presidentʼs Night June 27 at the Renfrew Tea Room.

Lions members were congratulated for their efforts over the past fiscal year, and the 2012-13 board of directors was introduced.

Lions Gus Este of the Barrhaven Lions Club, and a past District G-4 Governor, was special guest of the Renfrew Lions.

He swore the new executive, and also spoke of the importance of getting young members involved with the Lions.

“The Lions Club has a long proud history, Lion Este said.

“Itʼs the most known service club in the area.

He said other Lions Clubs know of the work and success of the Renfrew Lions.

“Renfrew is still one of the strongest club in Region 22,” he said.

Lion Este said one joins a legion of international members and friends when they join a Lions Club.

“You network with business people in our community, and with people all over the world,” he added.

COMMUNITY GARDENS, ART AND STRAWBERRIES IN BURNSTOWN The hard-working kitchen staff, right, pause from their duties at the Strawberry Social at the Burnstown United Church during the June 30 Heritage Home and Garden Tour. The event was hailed as a huge success by organizers, who tempted tourists with strawberry tarts, tea and a silent auction. Just over 200 people attended the tour. Below, artist Richard Gill poses beside a group of clay irises, a work-in-progress. Gill opened the doors to both his heritage home and to his Fog Run Studio and gave visitors an opportunity to explore and ask questions.

Photos by Chris Couper

New area residents, Rick and Louise Houseman, along with son Jim, set out to explore the Burnstown area during the Heritage House and Garden tour. Recently moved to Burnstown from Ottawa, the Houseman family said the tour was a great way to familiarize themselves with the history of the town. Right, organizer Jane Flain shares a laugh with Adele McLeod. Flain said the tour drew in a great deal of traffic from Ottawa and beyond.

ART

Art in the Park this weekend

Diana Wakely

Renfrew Art Guild

We are profiling artists who will be at Art in the Park July 14 and 15 in Haramis Park in Renfrew. They were asked questions like how did they get started in their field, what motivates them, and how do they work. Hopefully the following will give you insight to these artists and their work.

SHEILA FLETCHER, WATERCOLORIST, RENFREW

Sheilaʼs interest in art began when she was in Grade 3 and she won an award, she was quite impressed to think someone would like her painting. This interest continued with the encouragement from her family.

Riding off into the countryside on her bike to sketch and later as a teenager in adult art classes her love of art and being creative was cemented. Becoming a nurse, wife and mother her art was always part of her life. Sketching, and painting with six neighbours in Deep River led to a very active art group. They had many years of successful art shows. Sheila is a Fellow in the Ottawa Watercolour Society and the ECOAA as well as the Renfrew Art Guild. The Octagon Gallery in Calabogie has been Sheilaʼs studio for the past 18 years.

For many years customers flocked to the Octagon as a place to view and buy art.

As one of the founding members of RAG Sheilaʼs says, being a member of the Renfrew Art Guild has established longterm friendships and heightened the quality of the art being produced.

Seeking photos for cash calendar Pembroke Renfrew County Crime Stoppers is currently in the planning stages for their sixth annual Crime Stoppers Cash Calendar. Photographs are needed to represent all of Renfrew County, and for each season. The deadline is July 14, 2012.

Ccime Stoppers is looking for high quality scenic images or photographs of well known landmarks. Images of wild animals would also be appreciated as in the 2012 calendar, two images per month will be used; one of a scene and a smaller one of an animal. The image must be of sufficient size and quality to produce a clear 8X10 print. The image also must be in andscape format.

There will be no financial compensation for the photographs but a photo credit in the calendar.

For more information, go to www.valleytips.ca or call Const. OPP Beth Ethier at 613 735-0188.

HERITAGE

1912: Millionaire railway contractor M.J. O’Brien flies to Quebec JULY 12, 1912

M.J. OʼBRIEN AT QUEBEC: M.J, OʼBrien, millionaire railway contractor and miner, paid a flying trip to Quebec today to confer with his partners, Hugh Doleny. He is interested in the three different firms engaged in Transcontinental construction. He is also interested in the new Saguenay railway from St. Joachim to Murray Bay and the Gulf terminal railway from St. Flavis to Gaspe. “When completed the Transcontinental will be the finest built railway on the continent of America,” said Mr. OʼBrien, “and with grades which allow its engines to haul double the amount of cars on other roads.”

A SUCCESSFUL READY TO WEAR STORE: Under the heading “A Successful Ready to Wear Store” – a pioneer in the ready-to-wear field exceeds in building up a successful business in eight years and keeps stock in cabinets in order of size. The Ready to Wear, a handsome Toronto trade publication, has a page and a half write-up of Mr, J. M. Fergusonʼs Ladies Emporium, accompanying a good picture of the interior of the store, and also photographs of three of his advertisements clipped from the columns of The Mercury. The description starts with setting forth the courage required to blaze the business trail, that Mr. Ferguson did in going into exclusive ladiesʼ ready to wear eight years ago; portrays the advance steps made by this only exclusive ready-to-wear store in a Canadian town of less than 10,000 people, and of the excellence of the fitting up of its interior.

Cole, Mr. Alfred Peever, Mr. F.A. Johnston. A motion was made to set the first Sunday in August 1938 for Decoration Day for the North Horton cemetery; also the following Monday to be set for the annual meeting of plot holders.

JULY 13, 1977

MILL TO LAY OFF 25: The Hanson Mohawk Limited Renfrew plant will be laying off approximately 25 employees when the two floors of the factory close down at the end of the month. The two floors

OLGA LEWIS FROM THE OLD FILES

represent one fourth of the Renfrew operations. Plant manager, David Mee, said they have had employee and production problems. These, along with competing import markets, are the reason the plant is forced to limit operations. Peter Dawson, head office controller of Hansen Mohawk Ltd. Hull, said the Renfrew plant has had production

problems, but will not cease operations in Renfrew. The remaining two floors will be operating at limited capacity.

VALLEY STORES CLOSING: Marks and Spencer stores in Arnprior, Renfrew and Pembroke are being closed August 6 due to sluggish sales. The stores will be closed because, “due to low volume turnover, the stores would not be merchandised effectively,” a press release by the company reports. It notes that the merchandising problems in the stores have been apparent for some

time, but only after exploring all other alternatives the company decided to close the stores. Employees of the local store are to be given an opportunity to take up positions at other Marks & Spencer stores.

A new store will open on the Sparks street mall in late Au-

gust and another at Bayshore in October. The Marks & Spencer stores had formerly been part of the Walker chain but were converted to Marks & Spencer stores last fall.

Kidney Walk ambassador gets dream Ferrari ride Bruce Hill Special to The Renfrew Mercury

Over a million dollars worth of exotic cars were on display June 23 on OttawaĘźs Preston Street and at the ready for local children affected by kidney disease.

When asked what he wanted for his birthday, he replied â&#x20AC;&#x153;a Ferrari.â&#x20AC;?

With the help of Ottawa area exotic car owners, AustinĘźs wish came true.

He and the other children had multiple tours around the city in an Acura NSX, Dodge Viper, Ferrari 360 Modena Roadster, Ferrari 599 GTB

Fiorano, Lamborghini Gallardo and Porsche 911 Carrera.

Austin has another connection to the Kidney Foundation as he has agreed to be the FoundationĘźs Renfrew Walk ambassador. On Sept. 23 the Kidney Foundation will host its ďŹ rst ďŹ ve-kilometre fundraising walk at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

Austin will ofďŹ cially kick off the walk and will be the keynote speaker.

NATURE

Western species’ travels arrive in Renfrew area Marg Bauer saw a yellow-headed blackbird in her yard this past week.

This particular species is a western bird and although there have been numerous sightings in the east, it remains a rare nester and migrant in Ontario. Marg felt that the bird was stressed, as if it had been buffeted by high winds, possibly having been caught in the storms that have been causing havoc along the east coast.

She was able to approach within a few feet of the bird without causing it to move away.

The yellow-headed blackbird has, as its name implies, a bright yellow head, neck and breast. The small black mask around the eyes and white wing bars complete the best field marks for this species. Watch for a yellow-headed blackbird along Highway 60 between Renfrew and Douglas.

This blackbird is seen more often in the Windsor-Sarnia area and in western Ontario near Lake of the Woods than in the rest of the prov-

ANOTHER REMARKABLE GRACKLE

Dwight and Lilian Robinson had a grackle in their yard a few weeks ago that appeared to be half grackle and half mourning dove. This week they had a grackle with some very unusual markings. The bird had bare skin showing along the side of the head and on the neck. The feathers on the back appeared to be broken and disarranged. It was with a flock of grackles and there was no doubt as to its lineage.

A day after the Robinsons first

saw the bird it still had missing feathers along the head and neck, but the feathers on the back looked preened and in place. A strike by a predator, sharp-shinned hawk or a merlin could cause such wounds but if such a strike occurred, how did the grackle get away? These two predators seldom miss.

One suggestion is that the predator was attacked by other grackles in the flock. They can be very aggressive when it comes to supporting their own members and could have driven the predator away before it killed its victim.

UNUSUAL BIRDS

Tom and Shirley Holly at Cormac saw two unusual birds near their home this week. They were large birds with a purple neck and head with plumes in the shape of an umbrella on the crown. After a little research they concluded that the birds were immature peacocks. They are

no doubt caged birds that either escaped or were released.

This time of year young male peacocks will wander in search of a new territory. They leave their home territory on their own or they will be driven out by the dominant male. Their gruff, haunting call can be heard some distance away as they wander in search of food and a home.

longer and remain free of insects. It is important to remove the old nest from the box or the birds will build another one on top of the old one if they are starting a second or third brood.

The closer the nest is to the entrance hole, the easier it is for a raccoon to reach in and remove the chicks or incubating adult.

BLUEBIRDS OUSTED

YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO

Cathy and Remick Campbell lost a clutch of bluebirds to an energetic pair of tree swallows. To solve the problem, Remick built a bluebird box with cedar lumber. The Campbells mounted the box in the area of the other bird boxes and a pair of bluebirds moved in immediately.

They are presently feeding young that should fledge in a week to 10 days.

The cedar oil in the wood acts as a disinfectant and a preservative as well. Therefore, the houses last

The gruff song of the yellow-billed cuckoo was heard in several locations this week. It is the same size as a blue jay but is greyish-brown above and white below. It has a long tail and a long, slightly-curved bill which is black above and yellow below. It is often called the “raincrow” because it often calls just before it rains. Not the case so far this summer.

Ont., speaks to journalists after being nominated to the 2012 Canadian Olympic team last week.

Strong Olympic connections Steve Newman

steve.newman@metroland.com

The history of world-class wrestlers who have made Olympic teams and rubbed shoulders with members of the Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club continues.

Members of the Canadian wrestling team headed to the 2012 Olympics include Tonya Verbeek of Grimsby, Ont., Dave Tremblay of Windsor and Martine Dugrenier of Montreal.

Verbeek competed at the 2005 national championship in Renfrew; Dugrenier has given clinics at the wrestling club and elementary schools in Renfrew; while Dugrenier and Tremblay are Montreal Wrestling Club members that Renfrewarea wrestlers see regularly.

Dugrenier is a close friend of Grant Lavallee, one of the Renfrew club coaches.

“Sheʼs closely connected with some of our wrestlers. And our club goes down to Montreal regularly, at least on a monthly basis, and practises with Martine and Dave Tremblay, whoʼs originally from Windsor,” said Lavallee.

Lavallee, who finished fourth in the 1974 Commonwealth Games, was select-

ed to Canadaʼs 1976 Olympic team, but didnʼt compete because of injury.

During a 2009 visit to Renfrew, Dugrenier said, “I tell the kids, ʻIf you believe in something, go after it. Chase your dream.

If you believe in it, you can persevere.ʼ” Sheʼs a two-time Olympian, having competing in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

One of Canadaʼs most decorated wrestlers held an impressive six-year run of consecutive world champion medals, with silver in 2005 through 2007, and gold from 2008 through 2010.

In Beijing, Dugrenier finished fifth, narrowly losing out on a bronze medal by surrendering a point to American opponent Randi Miller in the last 10 seconds of their match.

After that disappointment, Dugrenier told wrestlers in Renfrew she planned to compete in London in pursuit of a gold medal. Dugrenier will compete in the 63-kilogram division.

Verbeek, who is off to her third Olympics, is a two-time Olympic medallist.

She captured a silver in 2004 and bronze in 2008 in the 55-kg freestyle class. She became Canadaʼs first-ever Olympic

medallist in womenʼs wrestling with the 2004 performance, and is looking for another Olympic medal after entering July undefeated this season.

The 11-time national champion, who has a masterʼs degree in education from Brock University, is also a two-time world championship bronze medallist.

Tremblay, who will compete in the 55-kilogram division, has won medals in five of his last six international tournaments.

The other six freestyle wrestlers on the Olympic squad are Arjan Bhullar (120 kg) of Vancouver, Leah Callahan (72) of St. Johnʼs, Alta., two-time Olympians Haislan Garcia (66) of New Westminster, B.C., defending Olympic champion Carol Huynh (48) of Hazelton, B.C. and Matthew Gentry (74) of North Vancouver, and Khetag Pliev (96) of Toronto.

Canada did not qualify any wrestlers in the Greco-Roman style.

The wrestling teamʼs head coaches are Dave Mckay of Vancouver and Leigh Vierling of Calgary.

There will also be four personal coaches with the team.

14 reasons to celebrate Shawville Hockey Wall of Fame Steve Newman

steve.newman@metroland.com

Fourteen movers-and-shakers in the hockey world will be inducted into the Shawville Hockey Wall of Fame July 21.

The induction ceremony will pay tribute to such iconic stars, both locally and nationally, as 1920s Ottawa Senators star Frank Finnigan, official Blaine Angus, builder Bryan Murray and player Terry Murray.

The co-ordinator of the induction ceremony is hockey scout, author and aficionado Grant McCagg, a Shawville resident who grew up in

tions, says McCagg, given not only his prowess as a player with the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League in the 1920s, but his role in helping bring the Senators back to the national capital.

Finniganʼs No. 8 was retired by the Senators in 1992.

“Frank Selke Sr. said Frank (Finnigan) was the best defensive forward heʼd ever seen,” said McCagg.

The Saturday, July 21 induction ceremony gets underway with a barbecue dinner at 6 p.m. at the Shawville Arena.

The $20 tickets are available at local retail stores, at the event, or by calling 1-819-6471024.

THREE MURRAYS BEING INDUCTED

Three Murrays are among the inductees.

Ottawa Senators general manager Bryan Murray, who was the NHL coach of the year with Washington in 1983-84, has gone on to GM postings with Detroit, Florida, Anaheim and Ottawa See SHAWVILLE, Page 35

Renfrew.

For a town of about 1,500 people, McCagg says Shawville has certainly put itself on the hockey map, and the induction ceremony is a way of recognizing that excellence.

“I just hope itʼs a reminder of how rich a hockey history this town has, which we should be proud of,” he said.

“And hopefully itʼs an inspiration for younger kids, who can realize you donʼt have to be from the big city to accomplish something in the game.”

Woodfine 20th in Pan Am juniors Triathlete Tristan Woodfine of Cobden placed 20th in the PATCO Pan Am junior championships in Edmonton last Sunday.

As an NHL coach or general manager for 31 consecutive years, Bryan Murrayʼs a shooin for the wall of fame.

Brother Terry Murray made his NHL debut with the California Golden Seals in 1972, before also playing with Detroit, Philadelphia and Washington in a 302-game NHL career. He also won backto-back Eddie Shore Awards as the American Hockey Leagueʼs best defenceman in the late 1970s before cracking the Philadelphia Flyersʼ lineup on a regular basis.

Terry and Bryan Murrayʼs nephew, Tim, is also being inducted, as a builder. Timʼs NHL days started as an amateur scout with Detroit in 1993-94 before joining the Florida Panthers in 1994. His NHL involvement has included being in charge of the Anaheim Ducksʼ amateur draft and college free agents, and assistant GM with the Ottawa Senators.

GIBSON AND HORNER

Other builders being inducted are Bill Gibson and Keith Horner. Gibson is best remembered as Shawvilleʼs pre-eminent hockey builder.

For a decade, in the 1940s and 1950s, he sponsored, coached and managed the Shawville junior hockey club. McCagg says he was also a major reason Shawville became a senior hockey power in the ʻ50s and ʻ60s, thanks to Gibsonʼs outstanding junior program and ability to develop young talent.

Olympic wrestling team Continued from Page 34

The personal coaches include Victor Zilberman of the Montreal Wrestling Club, who is very familiar with members of the Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club.

The other personal coaches are Paul Ragusa of the Calgary Dinos who grew up in Kingston, Marty Calder of Brock

Horner managed and coached the Shawville seniors from 1957 until Bryan Murray took over the coaching duties in 1968.

Horner helped lead the Pontiacs to the Upper Ottawa Valley Hockey league championship and a berth in the Ottawa district intermediate finals in 1958-59.

Other than Terry Murray and Finnigan, players being inducted into the wall of fame are 1930s Toronto Maple Leaf Erin ʻMurphʼ Chamberlain; Marc Rodgers of the QMJHL champion Verdun College Francais; and Bristolborn Bill Cowley who played with the St. Louis Eagles and Boston Bruins and was the NHL most valuable player in 1940-41 and 1942-43. Other player inductees are Hardy Cup champion Carson Ryan; Cahill Shield winner Lindsay ʻRedʼ Dale; Earl Powell, 1969 Ottawa intermediate champion and captain of several Shawville senior teams in the 1950s through 1970s; and Royce Richardson.

Richardson was an inaugural member of the Shawville Pontiacs in 1954 who played with the team until it folded in 1975.

A multiple scoring champion, he was an MVP in Upper Ottawa Valley senior and intermediate leagues.

444 NHL games, from 1991 to 2006. His career highlights included officiating at the 1991 world junior championships, 1995 Spengler Cup, several NHL playoff games, and the 2004 NHL all-star game.

The July 21 induction ceremony will be emceed by Dave Schreiber, the radio voice of the Ottawa Senators and Ottawa 67ʼs. Music will be supplied by DJ Chris Godin.

The doors open at 4 p.m.

The barbecue dinner gets underway at 6 p.m.

Hockey supporters of all ages are welcomed.

“Itʼs a celebration of hockey,” said McCagg. “And there will be some great, old hockey stories flying around.”

Strong start in Rising Star The Rising Star Series held its first of three horse show clinics on Saturday, June 23 at JCS Stables in McNab-Braeside. It proved to be a gorgeous day with lots of sun, a lovely breeze and a huge crowd, a welcome relief from last year when rain washed out two of the clinics.

There were competitors and spectators from Renfrew, Arnprior, Chalk River, Pakenham, Fitzroy Harbour, Carp and other areas of West Carleton.

Competitors, coaches and spectators gained knowledge through comments and evaluations from hunter-jumper judge Kitty Bowland of Renfrew.

There are several people responsible for bringing the horse show clinics together, but the participants are the most important, said

JCS Stables Julie Skarica.

She thanked the generosity of sponsors and the numerous volunteers who helped to provide for a safe, fun-filled and exciting day.

All ribbons were provided by TTO Management of Flamborough.

NEXT SHOW AUG. 4

The next show clinic will be held Saturday, Aug. 4. The judge is Dennis Mahoney from Deer Lake, Nfld.

If you would like additional information about JCS Stables, contact Skarica at 613622-7757 or visit the website at www.JCSstables.com.

LINESMAN

The only official being inducted is Blaine Angus. He worked as a linesman in the American Hockey League and Ontario Hockey League from 1985 to 1988.

He went on to officiate in Wrestling Club and Stan Tzogas of Team Impact.

The Olympic wrestling tournament runs Aug. 8 to 12.

Since 1992, Canadian wrestlers have contributed to the countryʼs medal tally at every Olympics, with a total of six medals. Other wrestlers who have visited the Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club include 2000 Olympic champion Daniel Igali.

Half the Olympic shooting story reigns from Renfrew Renfrew-born Dorothy Ludwig of Langley, B.C. and Corey Niefer of Saskatoon off to the London Olympics Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Renfrew native Dorothy Ludwig, who lives in Langley, B.C., was half the shooting story when the Canadian Olympic team grew by two athletes last Thursday.

The Shooting Federation of Canada nominated the two shooters who will represent Canada in the London 2012 Olympics. Ludwig and Cory Niefer of Saskatoon were both nominated to join the Canadian Olympic team heading to London a few weeks from now.

“For me, shooting has been the laboratory that helps me figure out my life and it has benefitted me in so many ways,” said Niefer, who was nominated in the 10-metre air rifle and prone rifle events.

Niefer, who grew up in Yorkton, added, “I never imagined when I started that it would take me all the way to the Olympic Games, and itʼs such an honour to be included in this incredible team,” Of her Olympic team nomination, Ludwig said, “I think the only person that would be more pleased than me would have been my dad.

ADMASTON-BROMLEY LINKS

Ludwig, who will compete in air pistol, added, “Shooting has always been a family sport for us and this nomination to the Canadian Olympic team makes it all the more special. I canʼt wait to get

to London and add the next chapter to the family legend.”

Ludwigʼs dad, Pastor Bill Hare, was the Grace United Church minister in the 1970s in Admaston Township in addition to being a world-class pistol shooter. He competed in the 1964, 1968 and 1972 Olympic Games.

Ludwig was born in Renfrew in 1979.

ROOKIE OLYMPIANS

Both shooters are first-time nominees to the Canadian Olympic team but are no strangers to the Olympic journey.

Niefer spent the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games as a coach, while Ludwig is continuing a family legacy by following in her fatherʼs footsteps to the Olympic Games.

She is coached by Pat Gustafson of Woking, Alta., but her personal coach at the London Olympics will be Ludwigʼs sister, Lynda Kiejko of Calgary.

Kiejko is also a national team shooter.

Poirier receives first Elliott scholarship Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Nick Poirier has been named the first recipient of Renfrew Collegiate Instituteʼs new Ray and Jean Elliott Memorial Scholarship.

The award is named in honour of Ray and Jean Elliott, “who farmed about 150 rather hilly and partly wooded acres immediately west of Renfrew,” daughter and award funder Judy Lindsay said.

They kept a small herd of Holsteins and grew crops such as alfalfa and oats to feed the animals. The Elliotts always kept a horse or two, and raised pigs and chickens.

In the winter, Ray took a team of horses and a sleigh to the woods where he selectively cut trees which found their way into the wood stove and furnace in the house.

Based on their careful management of the business and wise stewardship of the land and animals, they sent three of their four children to university and left the land and the buildings in good shape.

Lindsay said.

“The purpose of this scholarship is to support young people who might dream of following in their footsteps.”

The winner will have chosen a career in farming

or agricultural sciences, or large animal veterinary practice. He or she will have the highest academic standing of the candidates, and will have shown involvement in 4-H, Junior Farmers or rural community activities.

If thereʼs no RCI graduate who meets the criteria, then the grant may be made to a previous scholarship winner who is continuing his or her studies.

Poirier is starting his second year at Kemptville College in Agriculture. The RCI grad has been working at a farm there, and at the VanLindenbergʼs in Admaston-Bromley Township

when home.

“Iʼm really glad to get it,” Poirier said of the award. “It takes off the financial burden quite a bit. It pays half of my tuition.”

Rand Elliott, son for whom the scholarship is named, made the presentation to Poirier.

“Good luck Nick. I wish you all the best. I hope you get to where you want to go,” Elliott said. A selection committee will select the scholarship recipient annually.

The scholarship will expire after 25 years, and the remaining funds will be donated to the Ontario 4-H Foundation.

The St. Thomas the Apostle class of 2012 will be remembered for being a friendly, pleasant, hardworking class.

Of the 36 graduates, 10 were on the honour roll with averages exceeding 80 per cent.

As well, students were recognized for their academic achievement, hard work, perseverance, citizenship, Christian leadership and athletic abilities.

Valedictorians Ryan Boudreau and Taylor Sul noted that over their years at STA they have raised money for the needy, had food drives, packed shoeboxes with goodies at Christmas time and even built a school in Sierra Leone!

class we would like to thank our parents and all family members who have supported us, our principals, our teachers and all staff members of STA who have been there for us. A special thanks to Father Peter Proulx, who has been with us through all the years. I would like to close with a quote from Dr. Seuss: ĘťYou have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. YouĘźre on your own.

And you know what you know. You are the guy whoĘźll decide where to go.Ęź Thank you and God bless.â&#x20AC;?

The Nature in Your Neighbourhood excursion series is underway, but four of this summerʼs five events still remain. They include the Paint Out at Renfrew Art in the Park this Saturday.

Invitations for Horton residents and beyond were extended by Cheryl Keetch of the Ottawa River Institute and Kathy Lindsay of the Bonnechere River Watershed Project during their July 3 presentation to Horton council and staff.

Nature in Your Neighbourhood is a collaborative initiative of ORI and BRWP, with partners from across the watershed and funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation.

“Itʼs comprised of a number of different activities. One of them is excursions in the Bonnechere River watershed that have some natural significance, from its beauty, from the story that can be told there, from encouraging people to be outdoors and being active,” said Lindsay.

The real theme is to get out and about in the watershed while enjoying what it has to offer historically, recreationally, artistically and ecologically.

The first Nature in Your Neighbourhood excursion was Celebrate Our River, a mass paddle June 3 from Wilber Lake to Eganville.

The next events kick off in Renfrew, Killaloe and Eganville. The seriesʼ second stop is the July 14 Paint Out at Renfrew Art in the Park.

A specific goal of the Art in the Park event, said Lindsay, is to work with artists and groups of artists “to be able communicate around the value of place and the outdoors and our watershed.”

In conjunction with the Ontario Plain Air Society, the A.Y. Jackson Trail Project and the Renfrew Art Guild, Paint Out gets underway in Haramis Park, 160 OʼBrien Road, at 9 a.m. Saturday.

This is a chance for artists of all levels to be out in nature trying open-air painting and meeting fellow painters.

The event is free for OPAS members and $10 for nonmembers.

To register, contact artist

Pam Cunningham at pamc@ sympatico.ca or check out http://ontarioplairsociety.ning. com/events/opas-eastern-ontario-plein-air-paint-out-july14-renfrew The excursion seriesʼ following events are July 21 in Killaloe, July 28 in Renfrew and Horton Township, and Aug. 19 in Eganville and area.

The July 21 event starts 10 a.m. at Killaloeʼs Hoch Farm and Ecology Centre with herbalist Diana MacAuley. She will lead a herb walk through the farm grounds while focusing on the medicinal and culinary herbs that grow throughout the farm and its wetlands. Preregistration is not required, and visitors are invited to check out the farmers market while there.

The Saturday, July 28 part of the Nature in Your Neighbourhood series will be a leisurely paddle, by canoe or kayak, that is led by Ottawa River Institute chairman Ole Hendrickson and Lindsay, who chairs the Bonnechere River Watershed Project.

Paddlers, who will travel from Renfrewʼs Second Chute to the boat launch in Horton Township, are asked to meet for 10 a.m. with their equipment at 32 Bridge Street, Renfrew.

The 15-kilometre paddle will take about five hours, including a 200-metre portage at the First Chute.

Shallow water levels may require some wading. Organizers say at least one vehicle will be available at the Horton boat launch to return paddlers to Renfrew.

The final leg of the Nature in Your Neighbourhood series is Sunday, Aug. 19, as part of the 2012 Tour de Bonnechere.

Cyclists are invited to celebrate their sport and the wonders of nature while cycling 20, 50 or 100 kilometres.

Please pre-register with Gearheads at 613-687-4624.

The tour gets underway at Eganvilleʼs Legion Field Park at 9 a.m., following signs in from 8 to 8:30 a.m.

The $20 cost include a potluck lunch. For details, call Chris Hinsperger at 613-6282283, or visit www.ottawariverinstitute.ca or www.BonnechereRiver.ca.

ADMASTON-BROMLEY

Lack of rain takes its toll

Peter Clark

Donohue said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We may have to take something to the county level if it (lack of rain) continues.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;County is under tremendous stress,â&#x20AC;? agreed Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe.

The mayor also expressed concern over wells. So far, no calls from township residents have come in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;IĘźve never seen an early summer

peter.clark@metroland.com

Admaston-Bromley Township Councillor Mike Donohue voiced what is becoming a major concern throughout the township.

He has received some calls from farmers about drought conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;ItĘźs not just in Admaston-Bromley, but throughout the county,â&#x20AC;? Coun.

with so many rain showers forecast that never materialized,â&#x20AC;? Coun. Robert Dick observed. â&#x20AC;&#x153; There was no spring run-off.â&#x20AC;? Dick is also a crop insurance assessor.

Coun. Donohue noted that in his area of the township there were 7.5 inches of rain recorded in May and June last year.

While June results arenĘźt yet ďŹ nal-

ized this year, it is estimated the two months will combine for only about two and a quarter inches.

Mayor Briscoe said a special Agricultural Economic Committee meeting may have to be called to discuss solutions if this drought continues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;WeĘźll get an assessment of where we are, and take the next step,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Toastmasters welcome new members Fran Watson

Renfrew Toastmasters

Looking to develop speaking and leadership skills? Win that job interview? Ignite your career?

Toastmasters International is a world leader in communication and leadership development. Our membership is 270,000 strong. These members improve their speaking and leadership skills by attending one of the 13,000 clubs that make up our global network of meeting locations.

Membership in Toastmasters is one of the greatest investments you can make in yourself. It is one of the most

cost-effective skill-building tools available anywhere. For less than the cost of a one-day seminar or a three-week workshop, you get one full year of meetings plus the Toastmasters magazine and manuals.

How does it work? A Toastmasters meeting is a learn-by-doing workshop in which participants hone their speaking and leadership skills in a no-pressure atmosphere.

There is no instructor in a Toastmasters meeting. Instead, members evaluate one anotherʼs presentations. This feedback process is a key part of the programʼs success.

Meeting participants also give impromptu talks on assigned topics, conduct meetings and develop skills related to timekeeping, grammar and listening.

Members learn communica-

tion skills by working through the Competent Communication manual, which is a series of 10 self-paced speaking assignments designed to instil a basic foundation in public speaking Members also learn leadership skills by taking on various meeting roles and working in the Competent Leadership manual. In our learn-bydoing approach, members are not lectured about leadership skills; they are given responsibilities and mentoring to help them develop their leadership skills.

Why should you join? The Toastmasters program offers many benefits that help people in all walks of life.

As a result of participating in Toastmasters, you will increase your self-confidence, become a better speaker, beHELEN VINCENT,

Support for Alzheimers The Renfrew Chapter of the Alzheimer Society received a boost in the form of over $18,00 from a Walk’n Roll-A-Thon at Groves Park Lodge May 30. More than 25 residents participated by either walking or being wheeled by family, volunteers and staff. Pledge forms were handed out at the beginning of the month and this year was an outstanding year for pledges. The Groves Park Lodge Staff Social Committee also got on board and raised $312 by selling ice cream sundaes after the walk and holding a BBQ at Gourley’s Gas & Convenience Store. Administrator Carrol Haywood said Groves Park Lodge has been supporting the Alzheimer Society for many years and is pleased to be able to help this organization, especially when the money remains within Renfrew County. She thanked the program department who organizes this event every year, the social committee and all who supported the Walk’n Roll-a-thon. In front are residents Agnes Kluke, Shirley Church who raised the highest dollar amount in pledges ($325) and Druscilla Voldock. In the back row, Fay O’Reilly, who is program facilitator at Groves Park Lodge, gives a cheque for $1,800 to Tracey Liebig Program Staff of the Alzheimer Society.

ADMASTON-BROMLEY

Court decision on Toronto accident concerns council Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Ontarioʼs highest court dismissed an appeal from two Greater Toronto Area municipalities, ruling they are mostly responsible for a horrific crash eight years ago that left two Port Perry sisters as quadriplegics.

This ruling, say members of Admaston-Bromley council, suggests there ia potentially dangerous liability situation if a bad accident was to occur on its own township roads.

The Court of Appeal sided with a trial judge in concluding Oshawa and Scugog are twothirds liable for the crash, and opens the door to an award of damages that could reach tens of millions of dollars.

The appeal court ruled that the road was in a state of nonrepair.

It was unlit, unmarked and the speed limit was unposted, a story in the Toronto Star reported.

Steven Stieber, counsel for the two GTA municipalities, said the decision “places a very significant responsibility on small municipalities for county roads.”

Itʼs two-thirds the responsibility of the municipality and one-third of the driver, Mayor

Raye-Anne Briscoe said.

She said that is going back to the way it was 10 years ago.

“That is a concern to me. It frightening.”

Mayor Briscoe also noted, as did other members of council, that the driverʼs handbook states than when not posted, the speed limit is 80 kilometres an hour.

Coun. Donohue wondered out loud if municipalities have to put street lights on every road or how municipalities are expected to mark gravel roads?

Municipalities in Renfrew County are not happy with the federal governmentʼs cancellation of the Community Access Program (CAP) funding.

CAP CONCERNS

Many of the CAP sites are in local libraries and provide much-needed Internet access to vulnerable segments of society, council noted.

Council acknowledged and appreciated that the federal, provincial and county governments have made significant and critical investments in Internet access improvements through the Eastern Ontario Regional Network,

However, the infrastructure investment will not be of assistance to local libraries and members of the public that require affordable public access to the Internet for information, e-learning and other government services.

“Itʼs a very important role that a library plays in the community,” Mayor Briscoe said.

“I went into the Renfrew library. I was amazed at the number of people in there,” added Coun. Dirk Rook.

At the recent meeting of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, an emergency resolution was passed requesting the federal government reinstate the CAP funding.

Tabled was a letter addressed to Renfrew County Warden Bob Sweet and council, and MP Cheryl Gallant from Greater Madawaska Mayor Peter Emon.

HAY SOLAR

The township received five applications for support under the Hay Solar FIT program for the purpose of constructing a farm building to facilitate the construction and operation of a solar rooftop generation project. Council gave its approval in each case.

EDUCATION

Renfrew Collegiate Institute Intermediate School celebrates its second annual graduation June 26 in the high school gymnasium.

Second annual graduation for RCI Intermediate School On June 26, Renfrew Collegiate Intermediate School hosted its second annual graduation ceremony.

It was a very successful evening, with a total of 93 graduates.

The students all looked stunning on their special night.

Greetings were brought from the board by trustee Marjorie Doering, and principal Alanna Emon delivered an address to the graduates about the achievements of Grade 8 and the challenges of high school.

Vice-principal Craig Myers spoke of the many 21st century skills which this group of graduates have already mastered.

Kaitlyn Beimers delivered an inspiring valedictory address.

Renfrew County District School Board Medallion Re-

cipients included Kaitlyn Beimers, Valiyah Khurshid, Janessa Linton, Andrea Martin, Sage Melville, Nicole Nagy and Courtney Roach.

Female athlete of the year was Sage Melville, while the male athlete award went to Jacob Collins.

Nicole Nagy received the Extracurricular Award, Mackenzie Kelly received the Perfect Attendance Award and the Renfrew Lions Club Citizenship Awards were given to Jacob Johnston and Valiyah Khurshid. Colton Warren received the Student Success Award.

Emcee Scott Campbell thanked parents family and friends for their support and shared many comical stories about these graduates throughout the evening.

A post-ceremony reception was held at Renfrew Collegiate Institute.

Grade 8 medallion winners, from left, are Courtney Roach, Sage Melville, Nicole Nagy, Andrea Martin, Janessa Linton, Valiya Khurshid and Kaitlyn Beimers.

Parents respond to Metroland series on Fundraising Fever in Ontario schools Parent-led advocacy group comments on public response to Fundraising Fever special by Metroland Media News Ontario school boards are implementing new policies on fundraising as this school year ends, under a requirement that they incorporate the provinceʼs new “best practices” by September.

The issue came to wide public attention with the recent publication of Fundraising Fever, a Metroland

Special Report, which focused on growing concern about the overuse of fundraising and the disparities it creates.

Annie Kidder of People for Education, a parent-led advocacy group, says the reaction her group is getting to Fundraising Fever underscores the problems that fundraising creates.

‘NEVER-ENDING ISSUE’

“So many people have forwarded it and talked about it as a never-ending issue,” said Kidder. “We donʼt think the fundraising guidelines are strong enough.”

The guidelines say fundraising should not duplicate existing funding – for example, the ministry provides schools with money for textbooks and learning materials so raising funds to buy more would be

out of order.

Kidder says the key to equitable education is to make sure itʼs funded so everyone gets a good education, one that does not depend on fundraising.

“The problem with thinking of education as a charity, rather than as something we pay for through our taxes, is that it changes how we think. It entrenches fundraising as something we assume has to be there.”

‘ALL FUNDRAISING ISN’T BAD’

Kidder says that “all fundraising isnʼt bad, but there has to be a line.”

“I think the system has come to assume that where possible, parents will kind of take up the slack, or that parents will augment school budgets.

Itʼs a really worrying assumption.”

HAYBECKER, Nancy

July 10, 1992 In loving memory of a dear son and brother Robbie who we lost 20 years ago today.

July 8, 2002

Deep in our hearts there’s a picture, More precious than silver or gold, Tis a picture of a dear son and brother, Whose memory will never grow old.

Thinking of you often.

Dad, Donna, Stephanie and Stacey.

CAMPBELL, Harriet In memory of a heroic sister who lost her hard fought battle with leukemia 5 years ago.

We little knew that morning, That God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, And in Heaven we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone, for part of us went with you, The day God called you home. you left us loving and peaceful memories, Your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always by our side.

Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.

Love Forever, Bill and Family

To a wonderful mother and grandmother who passed away one year ago.

Our lives go on without you But nothing is the same.

We have to hide our heartache When someone speaks your name.

Sad are the hearts that love you, Silent the tears that fall.

Living without you is The hardest part of all.

You did so many things for us.

Your heart was so kind and true, And when we needed someone, We could always count on you.

The special years will not return When we are all together, But with the love in our hearts You walk with us forever.

If flowers grow in Heaven Lord, then pick a bunch for me, Place them in my Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arms, And tell her theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re from me.

Tell her that I love and miss her, And when she turns to smile, Place a kiss upon her cheek, And hold her for awhile.

Forever in our hearts, Elaine, Jimmy and Family JILL TURPIN You gave us many things in life, Gifts both great and small, but most of all you gave us love, The greatest gift of all.

It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t what we write, It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t what we say, Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how we feel deep inside, As we think of you today.

We will always remember the way you smiled, The things you used to say, And all the things you did for us, In your kind and loving way.

We hold you close within our hearts, And there you will remain, To walk with us throughout our lives, Until we meet again.

Remembered always, Mom & Wade KWIATKOWSKI, Ted In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather Ted, who passed away July 16, 1996.

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.

Sadly missed by, Lynn, Donna, Rick, Jim & Families.

Little did we know that morning God was going to call your name.

In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.

For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide.

And though we cannot see you, you are always by our side.

Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same.

But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Queen Elizabeth Grade 6 students ready for the future Queen Elizabeth Public School

new school.

A strong emphasis on academic success has been an important focus of their year.

Participating in Destination Imagination workshops helped to support the on-going challenge to learn to be creative thinkers and persistent problem-solvers.

They are a very athletic group of young people, and have enjoyed the opportunities to participate in a variety of inter-school sports. Their successes in football, volleyball, basketball, and track and field have been highlights of

Thirty-eight Grade 6 students are excited to reach the end of their K-6 education at Queen Elizabeth Public School, and look forward to moving on to the intermediate grades at Renfrew Collegiate Intermediate School (RCIS).

After a busy and successful year, they feel ready to take this next step in their educational journey.

The students have enjoyed a year full of many activities that helped them learn new things and gain confidence as they prepared to move to a

their year.

Many of the students are really looking forward to the sports programs at RCIS and the opportunity to continue to build their skills and enjoy participating in this important aspect of student life.

Many of the students are also talented artists, and were encouraged and supported in their creative journey throughout the year. Their efforts culminated in the first QEPS art show, an extremely successful evening enjoyed by more than 300 parents and members of our community.

The QEPS graduating class of 2012 has also had the opportunity to begin to focus on the importance of Global Citizenship, and the value of caring about others in our world.

With the year-long theme of Be The Change, students were challenged to develop strong personal character, and to participate in reaching out to those in need.

Through active participation in The Terry Fox Run, The POGO childhood cancer program, and the QEPS Spirit Walk for juvenile diabetes, they used their energy to raise

money for worthy causes.

They joined together with staff and students from Central Public School and RCI to organize and run the first annual community Free the Children carnival.

It raised more than $2,000 for a needy community in Africa.

They also equipped an entire village school, and gifted a village with goats and chickens through their Christmas Shopping Day for World Vision.

Character-education assemblies and virtue voucher

programs helped to put the Be The Change focus on personal responsibility, and individual character building.

As the year drew to a close the students enjoyed celebrating their successes with a potluck dinner, dance, sports days, and class trips.

This energetic and enthusiastic group will enjoy their summer vacation and be ready to tackle the challenges of their intermediate years.

We wish them all the best as they leave Queen Elizabeth, and anticipate hearing about their many future successes!

Queen Elizabeth School students try a little Zumba.

Queen Elizabeth Public School students enjoy year-end activities.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING gets read. gets remembered. gets results

With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers.

Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them.

That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.
