What’s old is new again, as an illuminated fountain has been reinstalled in Renfrew.

On July 7, dignitaries gathered near the BonREGION REGION nechere River bridge (the former location of Hanson Mohawk) to officially mark the re-installation of the fountain. It was first put in near the Swinging Bridge in 2011 but was put in storage during the construction of the new Thomas Low Generating Station. .COM Coun. Arlene Jamieson is the chair of the econom-.CA ic and tourism committee and was one of the original members when the project started. She called the fountain “a baby they have had for awhile.

“We were given the task to promote the Town of Renfrew and beautify it and make it attractive for tourists,” said Jamieson. “As the committee changed over the years, we really wanted to dress up the O’Brien park and this area and downtown, so piece by piece it has taken a lot of brainstorming.

Tom Sidney, Shawn Cameron, operations manager at RPG, Gail Laird, manager at the Renfrew Chamber, Dave Lemkay, executive director at Renfrew Industrial Commission, Kurt Skebo. Front row: Kim Bulmer, Renfrew town clerk, Coun. Arlene Jamieson, Christine Ouellet, Sandi Heins, Tammy Logan and Mel Blimkie with the BIA.

Fountain Continued from front

“This is one of the things that we have been able to bring to fruition and we are excited to have it in the water because a lot of people drive by and now they notice the fountain and see it at night and it’s just creating a proud community,” she said Jamieson hinted there may be a new park from which to view the fountain in the future.

“RPG leases it and needed it for staging for the Thomas Low project. Ideally it is a perfect spot and the long-term plans

would like to create more park area...it’s something we will massage.”

The project has been a real team effort with Renfrew Power Generation (RPG), Renfrew Hydro, Yemen Electric and Crozier Excavating all working to install it at the new location.

“The Swinging Bridge, or river - all of those elements of the town are important to tourism and that’s part of industrial and economic development and that’s a role we have been playing for a long time,” said Dave Lemkay, Renfrew Industrial Commission executive director.

The fountain cost a couple of

thousand of dollars when it was purchased, said Lemkay. It runs 24/7 and a photocell brings on the light at night.

Shawn Cameron, operations manager at RPG, says they suggested it be moved to the new spot.

“Primarily for ease of installation, we own the boat, which is a big factor. Yellow buoys get installed May 1 and removed by Nov. 1 so it makes it easier to put the fountain in and out.”

The fountain is a submersible well pump so similar to what people in the rural area would have and is metered and paid by the town.

The County of Renfrew is seeking public input on the updating of its official plan.

The county has scheduled a number of open houses in August to inform the public on proposed changes and get opinions on how land use should be regulated. The proposed updated official plan affects all lands within the county.

The meetings include sessions in Cobden Aug. 8, Eganville Aug. 10, McNab-Braeside Aug. 11 and Calabogie Aug. 15.

The official plan is a policy document that guides the physical growth, use of land and development of a community.

The county is mandated by the province to update its official plan every five years to ensure it meets the needs of the community, has regard to provincial interests (e.g., protecting ecological systems, conservation of mineral aggregate resources, appropriate locations of growth and development), and is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS).

The effect protection of sensitive ecological areas, particularly wetlands, has on property-owners has been controversial in the past.

In a news release, the county says the series of six public meetings are being

Firefighters douse kitchen fire on Lisgar Avenue

Members of the Renfrew Fire Department respond to a kitchen fire in a four-unit complex on Lisgar Avenue. The cause of the fire was unattended cooking.

Sherry Haaima

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Local fire officials are reminding the public to be mindful of their cooking following a Friday afternoon kitchen fire on Lisgar Avenue.

The Renfrew Fire Department got the call at 4:41 p.m. and were on the scene at 4:44 p.m., said Fire Chief Guy Longtin.

“The cause of the fire is unattended cooking,” said Longtin.

The building is a four-unit complex and the woman had gone upstairs when the grease fire started, said Longtin.

The tenant reported her dog was getting all excited and then the smoke alarms in the home went off and she was able to escape unharmed.

“The dog gave her a heads up,” said Longtin.

“The guys got a real quick knockdown,” said Longtin. “They did a god job.”

Fourteen firefighters were quick to bring the fire under control and remained on scene for almost three hours. The house suffered extensive smoke and fire damage.

Officials have set the damage estimate at about $40,000. Luckily, the tenants of the other three units were able to return that evening, said the fire chief.

He issued a reminder to be careful in the kitchen.

“Be careful with your cooking and make sure you stay in the kitchen, especially with grease,” he said.

Highway 60 work progressing well: director Work on Plaunt Street continues: town

Sherry Haaima

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

The reconstruction of Highway 60 is progressing well, say officials.

“Overall, the project’s going as expected,” said Renfrew development and works director Mike Asselin. “The underground work is progressing and the sidewalk work is advancing quite rapidly. We’ve pretty much got a good section of sidewalk at the east end complete.

The project consists of an overhaul of Veterans Memorial Boulevard and O’Brien Road from Hall Avenue to Gillan Road and includes the reconstruction of concrete curbs and sidewalks, road widening, resurfacing, culverts, watermain and sanitary mains.

Crews are currently working on the multi-use pathway that will run on the north side of the road, explained Asselin. “Right now they’re tidying up entrances and working on drainage and landscaping,” he said.

Once the underground work is completed at the Hall Avenue end, roadwork will begin at that area, Asselin added.

In terms of any challenges the contractor has faced, underground work is often the most difficult.

Sherry Haaima

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

A Town of Renfrew graphic shows where a part of the multi-use pathway will run.

“It’s always interesting to see how they constructed things in the past,” said Asselin.

The public reaction has been mostly positive. “We’re getting a good reaction to what people see so far,” he said. “And

certainly the traffic management - we’re not hearing too may complaints about it. It seems like it’s working fairly well in a difficult situation.”

Work is expected to be completed in October.

Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church will sell a 10-foot strip of land to the Town of Renfrew for $1 as part of continued construction on Plaunt Street.

The property at issue runs the length of the church’s property to Quarry Avenue and will allow for the widening of the roadway to create sidewalks on both sides of the street and permit parking in front of the church.

The new sidewalk on the west side will run from Prince to Railway avenues.

The land transfer is expected to cost about $7,000, which will be included in the Plaunt Street construction project.

At council’s June 28 meeting, Lane Cleroux of the development and works department explained the move is a result of public consultation.

“The public wanted two sides on Plaunt Street for the downtown core,” said Cleroux.

Cleroux explained the town has been working with the church for some time and they were agreeable with the land exchange and had asked for three things, including: the replacement of a section of sidewalk with a depressed sidewalk in front of the church’s walkway on Quarry Avenue; the installation of two additional barrier-free parking spaces on Quarry; and the installation of a handrail on a set of proposed steps.

Horton mayor calls intersection Renfrew renews agreement with dangerous, asks county for action bylaw enforcement company Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

Horton Township has formally asked the County of Renfrew to review the intersection of Garden of Eden Road and Bruce Street.

The issue was discussed at the July 5 meeting.

The intersection currently has a flashing light and a small sign in place before. However, that is not what Mayor Robert Kingsbury thought was going there.

“The sign I was sent to look at had a fairly large checkerboard sign behind it that caught your attention,” said Kingsbury.

“What we got was a small sign. I went back to Steve Boland, (director of public works at the county) to reconsider it.”

Kingsbury told council when drivers approach the flashing light they see it and it is gone.

“I asked if he would put a bigger sign or markings on the pavement, to let people know there is an intersection up there because it is very dangerous. I’m getting nowhere,” said Kingsbury.

“I’ve got this back from committee in hopes we put a formal request in maybe we will get something done.

“I don’t think it is adequate. I think it is a dangerous intersection.”

Council approved a motion to ‘respect-

fully’ request that the county review the intersection and “provide clear delineation to inform road users that the interaction is present and the types of manoeuvres that may occur.

“Improvements for consideration may include making adjustments to, or installing new traffic islands, line markings and signs.”

THOMSON ROAD

Public works manager Janet Collins reported the Thomson Road project has a shortfall of $14,404.

She requested council approve the shortfall be funded from two sources: $4,404 from the public works wage budget and $10,000 from the tax portion of the gravel program.

Kingsbury said he was not in favour of using the gravel money for the project.

“When this project started we said we would not touch the gravel project money,” said Kingsubry.

Collins said she would need to touch base with the treasurer, who was away during the meeting, to find an alternative source.

Coun. Jamey Larone agreed with the mayor. “I thought the gravel fund was to maintain and keep up the gravel roads and keep the service level up,” said Larone.

“I would also like to hear from the treasurer.”

Sherry Haaima

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Municipal Law Enforcement Services (MLES) will continue to provide bylaw enforcement services for the Town of Renfrew.

Council has entered into a three-year agreement with the organization. The deal extends a relationship that began in June 2013, following the town’s decision to remove parking metres from the downtown core.

The new agreement runs from July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2019.

The terms of the renewal include: no increase in the hourly rate, no increase in number of hours per week and no change in the level of service.

“I think they’ve been doing an excellent job,” said Renfrew treasurer Keray O’Reilly June 28.

The three-year contract permits adequate planning for staffing, say officials.

“It’s easier to retain staff with a three-year contract,” said O’Reilly.

The agreement, worth $85,800 plus HST, provides for staffing at $30 per hour for 55 hours a week, 52 weeks of the year.

Bylaw enforcement services include calls for assistance dealing with parking, animal control, property standards, clean yards, noise, overnight winter parking, signage, taxi

and transient traders.

Coun. Kate Windle noted the transient traders bylaw is one many people don’t know about.

“If someone is selling door-to-door in the Town of Renfrew they have to have a transient trader’s permit,” she said.

“Any door-to-door sales in the Town of Renfrew are subject to the transient traders bylaw,” said Bulmer, noting there are some exceptions with regards to fees when it comes to charitable organizations.

The bylaw is helpful when it comes to monitoring door-to-door sales.

“It’s not so much a revenue generator but it’s an ability to track – we know who then is on the street, names of people,” said Bulmer.

“We have the principal of the companies that are in town so if there are any issues we have a source, a contact, and we can have our bylaw enforcement deal directly with them,” he added.

The public is advised to ask those questions and if they have any issues to contact the town, he said.

In 2015, MLES officers responded to: 111 dog complaints, 121 cat issues, 149 parking complaints, 108 property issues, 46 noise complaints and 72 calls that fell under the ‘other’ category.

In those 607 cases, 988 tickets were issued.

Free things to do in Renfrew area this summer Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

Summer is finally here and it is time to get out and enjoy this beautiful season.

There is so much to see and do locally.

Here is an overview of the top five things to see and do in the Renfrew area. The best part about it?

Everything on the list is free.

GET WET

With the weather getting hotter and hotter, there are a number of local options for cooling off.

The splash pad at Ma-Te-Way Activity Park is one of the best in the area with a variety of features in which to splash around. There is even a shaded picnic area for parents.

If you are looking to swim at a beach a number are located just a short drive down the road.

Barnet Park at 5170 Calabogie Rd. is seven acres of parkland, which includes a public boat launch, two gazebos, a picnic shelter/tables, grassy areas and best of all two beaches.

Burnstown Beach is a sandy beach on the Madawaska River located at 1537 Calabogie Rd. with a huge play structure for the kids and a canteen for a quick snack.

OPEN A BOOK

Dive into adventures at the local library.

HISTORIC TIME

Renfrew has a very interesting history and there are two places to explore in Renfrew.

The McDougall Mill Museum has ‘three floors packed with eclectic artifacts from Renfrew’s bygone days.’ Some of the items on display showcase the towns early industrial days, the third floor houses a decorative military display, the second floor has hundreds of household articles and the first floor has an extensive collection of farm equipment, pioneer tools and items from the railway. Its website says the most celebrated artifact is the museum itself, which was built in 1855 by fur trader and Hudson’s Bay Company agent John Lorne McDougall.

The museum is open in July and August from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The NHA/NHL Birthplace Museum is located at 249 Raglan St. in downtown Renfrew and any hockey buff will love exploring and learning how the NHA/NHL was born in Renfrew. It is open July 5 to August 31, Tuesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The museum has a very interesting display on

OPINION

Connected to your community

Words from the wise The death last week of entrepreneur and humanitarian Leonard Lee of Almonte brought back fond memories of his visits to address business people throughout the area.

When Lee was the guest speaker at area chamber and business gatherings, he never disappointed.

His no-nonsense, common sense approach, and his sense of humour, left his audiences both inspired and entertained.

Although he was raised in rural Saskatchewan and spent a great deal of time in Ottawa, he fit in well with the hard-working folks of the Ottawa Valley. He was resourceful, practical, honest and generous. He was one of us.

Lee survived a stint in the Canadian bureaucracy, where he was told he didn’t have what it took to be a successful manager. That says much more about the shortcomings of the bureaucracy than it does it does Lee’s abilities.

He refused to allow routine, regulation and red tape to stifle his creativity.

Instead he escaped to form his own small company that grew into Lee Valley Tools, one of the country’s most popular purveyors of gadgets that intrigue and empower us.

When Lee spoke to local business audiences, he had three main messages, which shone through in his own dealings.

He practiced what he preached.

Rule number one: When it comes to working, have a passion for the services or products you provide.

Lee was genuinely enthused about his products, many of which he invented or discovered, and delighted in sharing their many attributes with others.

And who, especially rural people, doesn’t love Lee Valley’s many ingenious tools.

Rule number two: Treat your customers right. Seems obvious, right. But too many businesses nowadays either don’t have sufficient staff or don’t property train staff to spend enough time with customers to really find out their needs.

And too often, businesses try to nickel and dime customers rather than satisfy legitimate complaints. One of Lee’s favourite stories was his company’s decision to send refunds to all buyers of a certain gadget when he found out it didn’t work exactly as advertised. Even though nobody had complained.

Rule number three: Treat your employees right. Engage them, listen to them, give them a chance to unleash their creativity. It’s almost impossible to have contented customers if you don’t have motivated employees serving them.

Lee may be gone, but his business and words live on as a useful guide to how business should be, but too often isn’t, conducted.

The answer to ‘why chemistry?’

To the editor:

As a retired high school chemistry teacher, I often had to answer the question ‘Why do we have to study chemistry?’

The majority of students were in class as a prerequisite for college admission, not because they thought the subject was important. The headline of June 23 says otherwise.

Renfrew’s fire chief identified the cause of the house fire as peat moss in a deck planter.

His advice was to keep it wet and out of extreme sun.

May I suggest a better solution? Keeping black earth and peat moss out of the sun is not practical. Firstly, its purpose is to grow plants in the sun. Secondly the sun is not the real problem. The heat is a result of microbial (bacteria and fungi) decomposition. It’s

a compost pile, which can reach temperatures in excess of 140 degrees Fahrenheit. The material itself acts as an insulator retaining heat and being mostly organic it is capable of pyrolysis and spontaneous combustion.

It is the biological decomposition combined with heat retention that will burst into flames with sufficient oxygen. The suggestion of keeping it wet is not precise enough to be useful. Microbes need moisture to grow, as do plants, but most plants drown in constantly wet soil.

If the bag is not being used; keep the peat moss/soil cool and perfectly dry. Stick you hand into the material. It should not feel warm. If using the peat moss/soil mix then follow Ed Lawrence’s (CBC Radio) advice.

“light to lift” (like the original planting) the water thoroughly, i.e. soak it. Hence, either the soil is very wet, which absorbs the heat; as water has the highest heat capacity/heat of vaporization of any known common material on this planet, which is why we use water to put out fires – the water absorbs the heat without much change in temperature. Then allow the soil mix to become so dry that the rate of decomposition slows to a standstill.

The plants may wilt in the hot sun but if they perk up overnight (turgor pressure returns to the plant cells) then they are still fine.

Water only when the plant cannot rectify the wilting overnight, as described above.

That’s why you need to take chemistry. So you can enjoy your flowers instead of making headlines in the local newspaper.

P.S. Ask any farmer if they’ve ever seen a round bale of ‘wet hay’ burning out in the middle of a hay field. It’s the same chemistry.

Helmets critical safety equipment To the editor:

Bicycle helmets are critical safety equipment; not wearing one is irresponsible and flies in the face of public health and injury prevention.

Safe cycling starts with the cyclists themselves. This is an indisputable fact and make no mistake about it.

A study released in the summer of 2010 found that mandatory bike helmet laws are effective in reducing cycling injuries and fatalities and are no impediment to ridership numbers. Dr. Ryan Zarychanski, an assistant professor of community health services and internal medicine at the University of Manitoba, who co-authored the study that investigated this matter, said that an “all ages” law should be adopted by all provinces.

Cycling on roads meant for cars, trucks and other motorized vehicles can be a dangerous form of transportation. Incidents attest to this danger. But, the good news is that bicycle crashes have gone down in line with the general drop in traffic fatalities in Canada.

That said, still each year between 50 and 70 cyclists are killed by cars. Statistically, a cyclist is safer than a motor vehicle driver or passenger – plus, cycling offers positive health and environmental benefits.

Cycling is good for one’s health, improves one’s balance and co-ordination, helps with weight control, enhances one’s general wellbeing and promotes mental health. It is also an enjoyable way to get around.

Of the number of cycling fatalities now, the majority are incurred by cyclists who are over 19 years of age. More than 60 per cent.

Of these fatalities, close to 80 per cent were not wearing a helmet.

The lower rate of deaths and injuries for

child cyclists is good news. Community bike safety programs and increased helmet use deserve much credit for this improvement.

But why has the population of adult cyclists’ fatalities gone up? Demographics are likely a factor; the under-20 age group is now a smaller part of the population than it was 15 to 20 years ago.

About 90 per cent of cycling fatalities are caused by cyclists being struck by motor vehicles. Adult cyclists are more likely to ride in heavy traffic or less-than-ideal conditions.

For instance, individuals who cycle to work or tour long distances increase their exposure to the hazards of traffic. Intersections can be particularly challenging.

Head injuries, which account for an estimated two-thirds of cyclist fatalities, can be largely prevented by wearing a helmet.

Children must wear a helmet by law in most provinces. Adults, by and large, are given a choice as to whether or not to protect their heads.

Would fewer adults be killed in bike crashes if more wore a helmet? According to the Ontario Coroner and the Zarychanski study, the answer is yes!

The Canada Safety Council, the Brain Injury Association of Canada and other reputable public health and safety organizations also say the answer is yes. Then why are so many adults so reluctant to wear helmets?

Is this not really an issue of public health, injury prevention and commonsense … or simply a case of far too many slow learners!

That said, is the way to the future compulsory helmet legislation for all riders, regardless of age?

Thanks to hockey museum for preserving history To the editor:

Thank you to the people for a job well done to keep our hockey history alive in Renfrew at 249 Raglan St. on the post office’s second floor - our NHA/NHL Birthplace Museum.

I think if you haven’t been in you should go see for yourself and I am sure you will agree with me.

We need to support our hockey history.

Mother Nature is a master chemist The Renfrew Mercury is pleased to welcome weekly columnist Michael Runtz, one of Canada’s most highly respected naturalists, nature photographers, and natural history authors. A birdwatcher since the age of five, he has lived, breathed and worked with nature all his life. Professionally, Runtz, a Carleton University professor, has worked as a naturalist in Canada’s national and provincial parks and has performed numerous biological surveys.

As I write this column I am scratching my ankles for I have Poison Ivy. It is not a bad dose, and I know how I got it. Two days earlier I had been looking for skippers (small butterflies) in a meadow and had walked through a patch of Poison Ivy. The itchy bumps are a reaction to the plant’s urushiol, defensive oil found in all its parts; the oil gets released when the plant is damaged.

Urushiol is one of tens of thousands of toxins produced by plants. This arsenal of chemical defences is

a response to the hordes of hungry mouths that devour plants for nutrition. Nature is a never-ending game of ecological chess with plants usually (but not always) on the defensive, and animals on the offensive. Some animals have evolved countermeasures to deal with plant defences. Some neutralize plant toxins; others safely store them in their body. The latter ability renders the herbivore unpalatable to predatory animals, a trait often advertised through bright warning colouration.

Chemically-defended caterpillars often concentrate toxins in poison-gland cells attached to hollow hairs or spines. Once those structures are broken, the toxin flows up and into whatever broke it. Some caterpillar spines create a burning or stinging sensation not unlike a wasp sting or an encounter with Stinging Nettles.

In recent years, a tall, yellow wildflower has spread through our region and is especially common along roadside ditches. Wild Parsnip is a member of the carrot family, of which many species are well defended chemically. Wild Parsnip contains particularly nasty ones called furanocoumarins that cause a skin reaction not unlike a chemical burn. Some people are more sensitive than others, so be sure to avoid contact with these plants. Just like Purple Loosestrife in past history, this non-native plant has become infamous for its ability to spread rapidly.

In the game of ecological chess, non-native plants

Trailhead

often hold an advantage because native herbivores do not recognize or cannot eat them. Thus, many alien plants spread rapidly, eventually dominating landscapes. On occasion we intervene and introduce herbivorous insects – often moth or beetle larvae - from the plant’s home country to eat them. These insects, known as biocontrols, might seem to be the perfect solution, but there is always a danger that they might devour native plants - sometimes rare ones - that are related to the undesired species.

The ideal solution is when native animals begin to eat foreign invaders. This has happened with Crown Vetch, a non-native plant used for stabilizing roadsides and hillsides. The caterpillar of the Wild Indigo Duskywing, a native butterfly, added that plant to its menu and is now becoming common and expanding its range.

Recently I watched a Black Swallowtail laying eggs on a Wild Parsnip.

Black Swallowtail caterpil-

MICHAEL RUNTZ/SUBMITTED

Never pet a Mourning Cloak caterpillar; its branched spines release toxins when touched. lars safely eat members of the carrot family so perhaps with an all-you-can-eat buffet available on local roadsides, this beautiful, native butterfly will flourish, ultimately helping to control the parsnip.

Incidentally, Wild Parsnip was brought to North America as a garden plant. As is usually the case, people, not plants, are the real problem!

Medical officer of health to return

Renfrew County’s acting medical officer of health is staying on the job for another six months.

Renfrew County and District Health Unit board announced this week that Dr. Kathryn Reducka, who is taking a summer break after filling the position temporarily for the past six months, will be returning to the post Sept. 1. “Dr. Reducka has provided competent leadership at Renfrew County and District Health Unit� said Janice Visneskie Moore, chair of the Board of Health. “We would like to thank Dr. Reducka for her dedication over the past six months and looks forward to her return in the fall.�

Dr. Reducka has worked as a family physician in Renfrew County and a physician risk manager with the Canadian Medical Protective Association.

ALS run Saturday On July 16, the Kick and Push Pedestrian Society (KAPPS) will join the ALS fun run at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre in Renfrew to raise funds for ALS. There are 3-km and 5-km runs for $15. Registration is at 8:30 a.m. and the start time is 9 a.m.

For more information find ‘ALS run and walk fundraiser’ on Facebook.

Celebration of Life boosts physician recruitment efforts April Gillan and Alyssa Gillan recently presented $2,000 to the local physician recruitment campaign. Their sister Amber Gillan was missing from photo.

The funds were raised at the Celebration of Life fundraiser, held in memory of the girls’ mother, Janet Robertson. Accepting the donation are, from left, Renfrew County Warden and Renfrew Reeve Peter Emon and retired physician Dr. John Collins.

Taking part in the signing are Lanark County CAO Kurt Greaves, Renfrew County CAO Jim Hutton, Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon, Lanark County Warden Gail Code, Township of Papineau-Cameron Mayor Robert Corrivean and Township of Papineau clerk/treasurer Jason McMartin.

CP line deal complete, public meetings next It was the end of the beginning of establishing a major trail network through Eastern Ontario.

In 2011, representatives from the County of Renfrew, the County of Lanark and the Township of Papineau-Cameron got together to sign a Lease and Asset Donation Agreement, an important step to acquiring the CP Rail corridor lands, which will act as the backbone of the trail system.

The agreement the parties signed is a detailed document that outlines the roles and responsibilities of each partner municipality, with regards to costs, maintenance and vision for the trail.

On June 22 at Renfrew County’s administration building, the different parties assembled once more to re-enact that historic moment, the outcome of seven to eight years of hard work.

Petawawa Mayor Bob Sweet, chairman of the county’s development and property committee and chairman of the CP Rail Corridor Advisory Committee, said it has taken a lot of effort to get where they are today – the proud owners of 296 kilometres of Canadian Pacific railway lands from Smiths Falls to Mattawa – and there is still a long way to go before they realize the dream of converting it into a four-season recreation trail.

“This has been a long journey, but we are finally here,” he said, thanking everyone, their staffs and respective councils for making this happen.

“This is an exciting day,” Sweet said. “I wish to thank all those that have cooperated and worked together over the many years

leading up to today. This agreement is a momentous occasion for the County of Renfrew, the County of Lanark and the Township of Papineau-Cameron.”

Taking part in the signing were Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon, Warden Gail Code of Lanark County and Robert Corriveau, the mayor of Township of PapineauCameron, plus their senior staff. The partners will pay a total of $500,000 over three years for the CP land, with Renfrew County shouldering $360,300 of that cost.

Emon said this is just the first step in developing a multi-use trail system. He said in Renfrew County, there will be a series of public consultation meetings about the trail plan, starting in the fall, as this will be an important component in shaping the development of the corridor.

Through these they will get a better ideas of what the public wants in terms of the trail system, as well as a means of working out any problems or concerns which may arise about it. The main debate appears to revolve around whether vehicles such as ATVs, dirt bikes and snowmobiles should be allowed to share the trail with more passive users.

Emon said there is also a lot of work that will have to be done regarding railroad structures such as trestles and bridges, to make them suitable and safe for public use. Many of these will require such things as the installation of handrails, and all of these will be inspected to ensure they are structurally sound.

“There’s a lot of planning yet, and it is going to require a lot of work,” Emon said, adding at least they have started that process.

Busts accelerate Fentanyl concern Two drug busts in the last week involving Fentanyl have authorities concerned that misuse of the pain-killer is becoming a major problem in the area.

Two McNab-Braeside residents were charged after being stopped on Highway 17 near White Lake Road on July 4.

The pair – Colin Campbell, 27, and Terry Ross, 35 - were arrested and charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking Fentanyl, as well as possession of the Schedule I substance.

Ross was also charged with breaching probation.

The traffic stop was made by members of the Organized Crime Enforcement Bureau - Drug Enforcement Unit (DEU) and Renfrew-Arnprior OPP officers.

Police report they located six Fentanyl patches and a small amount of cocaine.

Both men were held in custody for a bail hearing.

On June 30, two Perth residents were charged with possession of Fentanyl after a traffic stop east of the town in Drummond North Elmsley.

Members of the OPP Drug Enforcement Unit, OPP Regional Support Team and officers from the Lanark County OPP Detachment conducted the stop as they suspected the passenger was breaching previously imposed court release conditions.

Police said that during the investigation they located and seized eight vials of suspected powdered Fentanyl, each containing a half a gram.

The total weight of four grams would have a estimated street value of $800, add OPP. Chase Nagle, 31, is charged with possession of Fentanyl and failing to comply with bail conditions.

He was held in custody for a bail hearing and will next appear in Perth court on July 18.

Angel McNeely, 27, is charged with possession of Fentanyl and driving while under suspension.

She was released from custody on a promise to appear in court on Aug. 22.

Health authorities have issued alerts this year for ‘bootleg Fentanyl’, reporting it has been detected in the area.

The illegal Fentanyl, which is usually ordered online from China, has been detected in the contraband drugs picked up by police

forces in Ottawa, Smiths Falls, Brockville, Kingston and Gananoque.

“They order it in powder form,” explained Lanark public health nurse Jessica Wigle following a presentation she gave June 22 to representatives from agencies that deal with children.

“We’re terrified, to be honest.”

One of her biggest concerns is that the Fentanyl will be mixed with ‘party drugs’ this summer, with the 16- to 18-year-old group identified as seeing “snorting (as being) very popular.

We are very worried about that.”

Another concern is that “Fentanyl is being used … to cut cocaine.”

The health unit first became aware that there was a problem very recently, she said.

“We started noticing it about two weeks ago,” she said.

“But our clients (with drug issues) have said it has been ongoing for a while. It is in this area.”

While prescription-based Fentanyl is precisely dispensed at pharmacies in patch form and was originally intended for people with stage four cancer, the illegal powder Fentanyl has toxicity levels that vary, she said.

“We are worried about our recreational users who have a low tolerance,” Wigle said.

“It’s really scary.

Authorities are also seeing the powdered Fentanyl in pressed pill form in various shades of green with the street name Faded ‘80s, she said.

“You could take one pill and have a good high. You could take the next pill and have an overdose.”

The use of Fentanyl has been in the news with the growing increase across the country in Fentanyl-related deaths and since it has been reported that music star Prince died of an accidental overdose of the drug in April.

Fentanyl is 750 times stronger than 30 mg of Codeine (also known as Tylenol 3), while morphine is only 10 times stronger than Codeine (morphine administered via an intravenous tube is 40 times stronger).

Area health units are asking that the public be on the alert for bootleg Fentanyl use.

The signs include slow, erratic breathing; fingernails and/or lips turning blue; limp body; lack of consciousness; deep snoring or gurgling; pin point pupils; and vomiting.

People should call 911 in any overdose situation, health officials advise.

With files from Desmond Devoy, Stacey Roy

Free legal advice for survivors of sexual assault Ontario is piloting a new program that will give survivors of sexual assault access to free legal advice, regardless of how much time has passed since the incident.

Starting June 28, survivors of sexual assault living in the City of Toronto, the City of Ottawa, and the District of Thunder Bay will be able to receive up to four hours of free, confidential advice from a lawyer. The legal advice may be provided over the phone or in person.

Eligible female and male survivors can access the program by filling out and submitting a voucher request form, available at ontario.ca/legaladvice. Women living in the City of Toronto also have the option to access the program directly through the Barbra Schlifer Commemorative Clinic.

Helping ensure survivors of sexual assault are informed and supported is part of It’s Never Okay - Ontario’s Action Plan to Stop Sexual Violence and Harassment. The plan is helping change attitudes, improve supports for survivors and make workplaces and campuses safer and more responsive to complaints about sexual violence and harassment.

“Sexual assault survivors need to know they have choices and they have power. Providing them with information on support services that are available is only one piece. Offering them free legal advice is key to helping them make decisions about what is best for them as they move forward,” said Yasir Naqvi, Attorney General.

“We know that navigating the justice system can be difficult for survivors of sexual assault. Providing free legal advice helps them know their rights and provides critical support in their pursuit of justice,” said Tracy MacCharles, Minister responsible for women’s issues.

“Ontario’s pilot program to provide independent legal advice to sexual assault survivors is an important and groundbreaking step in bolstering the justice system’s response to these crimes. As part of the government’s overall commitment to stop sexual violence and harassment, this pilot is key, and the Schlifer Clinic is honoured to be a part of it,” said Amanda Dale, executive director, Barbra Schlifer Commemorative Clinic.

Through the program, eligible survivors can choose from a roster of lawyers to provide legal advice. Although these lawyers will not provide legal representation (e.g. speak for the client in court), they may advise a client to speak to a lawyer who can represent them.

Survivors of sexual assault in any of the pilot sites can get information about the program in multiple languages through the toll-free, 24/7 phone line: 1-855226-3904. One in three women and one in six men experience some form of sexual assault in their lives.

Fundraiser for Jackson family Staff

Community members are rallying together to support the Jackson family in their time of need.

On March 13, Francine and Corey Jackson were involved in a motor vehicle collision and were both left with lifelong injuries causing them daily pain.

Due to their injuries they are incurring a number of expenses, such as trips to doctors and medication costs and more.

They had savings, which have helped them support themselves and their three children but they are

now struggling.

Friends are organizing a ‘Benefit Dance in Honour of The Jackson Family’ on July 22 at 7 p.m. at the Renfrew Legion.

Tickets cost $5 and there will be a number of different games such as a 50/50 draw, toonie toss, silent auction and more.

Tickets can be purchased at the Renfrew Walmart Lottery Centre, Fran Godin at the Legion or by calling Sue Wright 613-433-4121.

They also have a GoFund me page where people can donate: https://www.gofundme.com/coreyfrancine .

Clockwise from top left, Rolly Michaelis weighs Erika McFarlane’s 8oz large mouth bass as Olivia Vanderwal and Dominic McFarlane watch the fish jump off the scale.

Logan and Mya Bone work together to pull in a fish. There was a three-way tie for the winner, with everyone catching the ‘same’ fish weighing in at 2lbs 16oz so they drew names for the order and each person got $50. First place went to Gracie Baptiste, cousins Madason and Ayla Kilby came in second and third place went to Kate O’Brien, in the back row with the big trophy is Robert Anctil and Bill McLeod.

Dragonfly welcomes youth for kids camp Bill Rainboth

Dragonfly General Manager

Dragonfly is a fun place to be for golfers of all ages.

Last week was the start of golf camp for kids.

Pro Shop assistant Chris McClure and student Jack Quinn coordinated a combined six days of golf instruction and fun activities over a two-week span.

More than 30 children aged six12 years learned about etiquette, some basic rules, and golf fundamentals while building lasting friendships with their peers, and we hope – Dragonfly Golf Links.

Men’s Night this week was on the back nine with the format being three groups of two – two best scores counting for the team.

Coming out on top of A flight on Tuesday for the second time in three weeks was TF Custom signs.

VAC electric was “amped up” about winning B flight, and the XMen had the most heroic round of the night with a 65, taking C flight.

Closest to the pin winners were Mike MacDonald on #13, and Doug Eady on #18.

On Wednesday the team from Cobus Homes hammered out a win to take A flight, and the reigning champs of B Flight from Deslau-

rier Custom Cabinets “put the screws” to the competition winning B flight. Closest to the pin winners were Darrell Leblanc on #13, and Kyle Cobus on #18 Ladies also played the back nine and were among the first to try out our new Tee it forward tees.

Team Seriously (?) had a stunningly good game to tie The Lost Balls….who also lost the coin flip to break the tie.

The Partee Girls started their weekend early by celebrating a win in B flight. Closest to the pin winners were Adelle Quade on #13 and Joanne Simard on #18.

Congrats to all!

A mixed ringette team with players from Upper Ottawa Valley (Renfrew), Arnprior and Metcalfe won a silver medal in the Kingston Prospects Tournament June 10-12.

The girls in the U12 division lost only one game in round-robin play. They had an exciting semi-final game and came out on top 7-6 against a strong Metcalfe stingers team. They then played Gloucester in the finals, but couldn’t get the win against their tough opponents. They came home with the silver medals.

Lumber Kings start season Labour Day weekend Home opener on September 18 at Pembroke Memorial Centre The Pembroke Lumber Kings will begin their first season with Sean Crozier at the helm on Labour Day weekend when the Kings play three games as part of the Central Canada Hockey League Showcase weekend in Ottawa.

The new head coach of the Kings will see his club play six consecutive road games before returning to the Pembroke Memorial Centre (PMC) on Sunday, Sept. 18 for its home opener against the Cumberland Grads.

The Lumber Kings get their 62-game schedule started against the Cornwall Colts on Saturday, Sept. 3 at the Bell SensPlex, before playing Hawkesbury and Brockville, the following two days. They then travel to Kemptville, Nepean and Gloucester before facing the Grads on Opening Night at the PMC. The 2016-17 version of the Lumber Kings will begin its training camp on Aug. 19 at the Pembroke and Area Community Centre. With only 26 players invited to the camp, and many of them returning from last year’s squad, there won’t be a lot of decisions to make for Lumber Kings owner and General Manager, Dale McTavish, who is pleased with the makeup of the team.

“We had a very strong second half of last season and with many players returning we have a solid foundation moving forward. We’ve signed some highly skilled

Bishop off to Rio Eganville track star Melissa Bishop was officially named to the Canadian Olympic team on July 11. She won the 800m Canadian Championship/Rio Selection Trial in Edmonton on July 10 and was welcomed to the team during the Athletics Canada press conference on Monday. She also broke the meet record (1:59:46) with a new time of 1:59:32. She is now set to compete in Rio Aug. 17 and 18. The final is Aug. 20.

players in the off-season and expect to have a club that will compete for a championship,” says McTavish.

Among the players the Kings will welcome back are forward Alex Gilmour, goaltender Boyd Diclemente and last year’s number one CCHL draft pick, Patrick Kyte. Head coach, Sean Crozier, expects the team to be very strong in its own end, but will continue to look for scoring.

“We have some defencemen who can move the puck and we hope to capitalize on this strength by allowing our back end players to be more aggressive offensively,” says Crozier.

The Lumber Kings have been eliminated from the playoffs the past three seasons by the eventual league champion, Carleton Place Canadians. The Canadians will visit Pembroke three times this season beginning on Sunday, Nov. 20.

The bulk of the Lumber Kings home games will be played on Sunday evenings, however there are two Sunday matinees on Jan. 8, 2017 and Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 5, 2017, both against Carleton Place.

The only other day game is on Friday, Oct. 21 when the Kings play their annual School Day game versus the Ottawa Junior Senators at 11 a.m.

Thanksgiving weekend will serve up a rare Saturday night home games as the Kings host Brockville for a 6 p.m. faceoff. On Thanksgiving Sunday, the Kings play Kanata for a traditional 7 p.m. start at the PMC. There are three Friday night games on Dec. 16 versus Nepean, Dec. 23 against Cornwall and March 10 when Nepean comes to town.

The Lumber Kings close their regular season schedule on Sunday, March 12 against the Smiths Falls Bears.

Season tickets remain on sale for the 2016-17 season for the CCHL’s most storied franchise. The Lumber Kings have won more league championship than any other club and are recognized as one of the most successful Junior A hockey clubs in the country.

Renfrew Tennis Club tournament serves up success Mike McCormick

Renfrew Tennis Club

Canada Day proved to be a smashing success at the Renfrew Tennis Club. The introduction to tennis had many different forms but was enjoyed by all. We were joined by Ethan Kern from the Ontario Tennis Association (OTA) who brought along some racquets to try out, some different games to play and years of tennis experience to learn from for old and new players alike. The most popular though was the Smash Cage, an inflatable enclosure with a radar gun allowing all to finally know how hard they were hitting the ball. Though few approached Milos Raonic’ serve, many were well into three digits.

Speaking to Ethan was interesting, as he has travelled all across the province doing the same thing to help promote the game for the OTA. He noted that all of the more

successful tennis clubs were not necessarily due to large populations or high incomes, but the level of involvement of the membership.

Seeing what Renfrew had with the singles and doubles leagues showed a high level of interest but in particular he noted Garry Irving’s junior program. There are many clubs across the country where the younger members get very little court time and the instruction is generally private lessons. Having a junior program with free instruction is nearly unheard of, so kudos to Garry for showing the fundamentals of this great sport to several generations of tennis players.

Perhaps as a reward for his years of service, Garry was a victor at the Canada Day tournament and won the coveted “Largest trophy in the world” as befitting a tournament of this importance. Not only that, he beat most of the children to the barbecue for hot dogs. Another

prowess have been positive.

The heat of summer is hopefully here to stay and as such, many players are wilting in league play.

However, competition continues in the singles and doubles leagues.

Mitchell Ferguson has moved to

the top of the singles league but there are many gunning for the top spot. Mark Valiquette and Chris Jedrzejczak continue to hold top ranking in the doubles league but have had some heated matches. As the club tournament approaches it will be interesting to see whether different teams form to try and take the club prizes.

Launch night features new comedy, new CD, and ticket discounts Stone Fence Theatre is launching its fourteenth season on Wednesday, July 13, in the Eagle’s Nest at the Eganville Community Centre.

In addition to launching a new play - Stag and Doe, by Mark Crawford and directed by Chantal Elie-Sernoskie - the company is releasing a CD of songs from last year’s show, Here Comes the Train!

Launch night will include the company’s trademark Ottawa Valley roast beef supper.

Tickets for this night only are discounted to encourage folks to come see the show early.

Adult supper tickets get a $6 discount, youth 18 and under eat and see a show for only $15.

And the No Meal Deal is significantly less for adults and free for youth.

“I know from seeing it performed when it opened at the Blyth Festival that Stag and Doe is really going to strike a chord with people in the Ottawa Valley, where stagand-does are part of the fabric of life,” said the company’s producer Ish Theilheimer.

“It’s a brilliant script, and our talented cast, under Chantal’s direction, is going to crack people up from start to finish.”

He is equally enthusiastic about the CD the company is releasing.

The recording process took three months due to illnesses, snowstorms, and other issues, he

said, but it was worth it.

The CD is only available from the company, on its website and at performances.

The July 13 launch will be the first time audiences get a chance to hear it.

The play has been critically acclaimed across Canada.

The Kitchener-Waterloo Record said, “Crawford’s script is as snappy and crisp as a well-written TV sitcom.

The laughs come fast and furiously and often.”

A review in Stage-Door.com called it, “A comedy that does not rely on an outrageous plot, on shock effect, on a dialogue of oneliners or set-ups and punch lines.

Instead, the plot, humour and dialogue are so amusing because they are so true to life.”

Theilheimer predicts Stag and Doe will be “wildly popular” with local audiences both because of its subject matter and its message, which emphasizes the fundamental values of love and marriage.

Business/Box Office Manager Amy Rouillard adds, “Last year’s Stone Fence Theatre shows all sold out, so folks would do well to get their tickets early.

The reviews are already in and it’s a great show.”

The full season schedule and tickets are available at www.stonefence.ca or by phone at 613-6286600.

Smoke-Free Ontario marks 10 years Plain and simple is the key Renfrew County and District Health Unit This year marks the 10-year anniversary of the Smoke-Free Ontario Act, which provides guidance and funding to countless tobacco control initiatives locally and across the province. Thanks to Smoke-Free Ontario, smoked-filled workplaces, cigarettes openly displayed behind store counters, and smoking in restaurants are no longer the norm,” said Candace RoseSmith, health promoter with the Renfrew County and District Health Unit (RCDHU).

The success of Smoke-Free Ontario lies in its comprehensive approach of legislative and regulatory change, enforcement, price increases, youth-led prevention, cessation supports, advertising to encourage quitting, and research to measure progress and evaluate what is working. Activists, academics, non-profit and public health agencies together at the regional and provincial levels have aligned their efforts toward this shared goal.

While Ontario has seen health gains through SmokeFree Ontario, the job of tobacco control is not done,” said Dr. Kathryn Reducka, acting medical officer of health who indicated that tobacco is still the number one cause of preventable death in Ontario. The health unit will be sharing this message at the Pembroke Business improvement Area’s upcoming Summer Medley Festival in downtown Pembroke on Saturday, June 25.

What health organizations want to see next, including the World Health Organization, is plain and standardized packaging that would prohibit all promotional features on all tobacco packaging, including colours, images, logos, slogans, distinctive fonts, and finishes.

Only the brand name would be allowed. Many Canadians may not be aware of how much product promotion and marketing goes into pack design for cigarettes and other tobacco products. The tobacco industry is well aware of how valuable and effective the pack design is for both enticing new smokers and maintaining brand loyalty among current smokers.

For more information, come and visit Pembroke’s Summer Medley Festival, look for banners around your community or visit www.freezetheindustry.com.

“It’s like they are mini-billboards for them,” said Rose-Smith. Currently tobacco companies are manipulating pack size, shape and colour in order to minimize the effectiveness of health warnings as well as to target particular consumer groups.

Vern Donald

1940-2016 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our much loved brother, Vern, on Saturday, June 18, 2016. Vern will be greatly missed by sisters, Vera (Jim) Drefke of Eganville and Marilyn Sell (Ray) of Beachburg, his cousins, nieces, nephews, his many car buff friends and his computer buddies. Vern’s passion was his love of driving nice cars and classic cars (excluding the little white Geo). He delighted in watching Barrett Jackson Auctions and we didn’t disturb him while they were on. He loved going to car shows – whether they were in Carlisle, PA or wherever they were held Vern was there. His love of sports, humour and politics kept him at his computer for many happy hours. His best buddy, Howard, in cabo San Lucas, Mexico will miss their many long phone calls. Cremation has taken place and we would like to thank the Zohr Funeral Home for their care and compassion. A remembrance gathering will be held at a later date. As expressions of sympathy donations to a charity of your choice would be greatly appreciated.

Latest fad in lawn care fascinates family Mother stood at the kitchen door looking out onto the yard. She refused to call it a lawn. A lawn had nicely mowed grass. This lawn had tufts of grass growing every which way, because the only means of cutting it was with the scythe, and that only happened when Father had a lull in the everyday chores around the farm.

Which wasn’t very often. Everett was given the job until he cut off the toe of his gum rubbers one day, missing his foot by a mere inch, and that was the end of that.

It would take every last cent out of her egg money in the sugar bowl, but Mother was determined she was going to buy one of those new lawn mowers she saw in Scott’s Hardware ad in the Renfrew Mercury. Three dollars was a princely sum, and it would take a long time to build it up again, but it would be worth it.

Mother dumped out the sugar bowl on the kitchen table, and had a few coppers over the three dollars needed to buy the lawn mower. I was so excited, especially since Mother said I could go into Renfrew with her to get it. We would be taking the old Model T instead of the horse and buggy, and Mother said as soon as she got home with it, Everett would be put to work. The ad showed a picture of it too, and it vowed it was the latest thing in lawn care.

CHANGE

So off we went, against Father’s wishes, of course, as he could see nothing wrong with the way the grass had been cut on the farm for more than 100 years!

When we got to the hardware store, there it was in the window. I had never

seen anything like it. It had two small wheels and what looked like a cage holding twisted blades inside. Mr. Scott explained that when the thing was pushed through the grass, the blades, (“sharp as a razor,” he said) cut the grass as neat as you please.

He loaded it into the back seat of the Model T after Mother handed over the money, and we didn’t even stop to do any Saturday shopping, but tore out of town to get home as fast as we could to get Everett started on giving the grass in the yard its first proper cut in its history!

Father was nowhere to be seen when we pulled into the yard, but my three brothers and sister were all lined up like soldiers waiting to see this new fangled contraption that was going to change our yard into something to brag about. Everett, being the oldest, was given the privilege of being the first to use the new lawn mower.

It was hard slugging, since the yard looked like a hayfield, but Everett was told it was important to cut in straight lines, and so tried his best to do as he was told. He managed to cut a swath right down the middle from the pump to the back stoop. Emerson was getting red in the face from yelling it was his turn, and grabbed the handle of the mower, pushing Everett out of his way. It looked like

Emerson was getting red in the face from yelling it was his turn, and grabbed the handle of the mower, pushing Everett out of his way. It looked like Everett wasn’t unhappy to give up the job, with the sweat pouring off his face.

Everett wasn’t unhappy to give up the job, with the sweat pouring off his face.

Mother stood at the back step yelling orders, and when it was Earl’s turn, the whole back yard sure didn’t look like it did when the grass was cut with the scythe! I was pretty sure I could see Father’s face in the window of the cow byre.

Finally, the whole yard was done. It was less than perfect, with tufts of grass still standing where the lawn mower had missed.

The new lawn mower was rolled into the drive shed, and Mother had made lemonade, and we all sat at the back stoop looking over the newly mowed lawn.

Father emerged from the barn, came over and slumped down on the step beside us. He lit his pipe, letting his eyes roam from one end of the yard to the next. He wasn’t about to admit it looked any better. “Look’s like a bad hair cut to me,” he said, between puffs on his pipe.

RVH board of directors honours two long-serving members Renfrew Victoria Hospital

A special send-off was held for two of Renfrew Victoria Hospital’s board members on June 23 at the beginning of the Annual General Meeting.

Guests MPP John Yakabuski and Renfrew Mayor Don Eady were on hand for the event to praise the contributions of outgoing chair, Andy Boldt, and director Barbara Westgarth.

“It is a privilege and an honour to be at a board meeting of the Renfrew Victoria Hospital. I want to thank all of you, first of all, for the work that you do as members of the board. This is a wonderful hospital with a great reputation and the board is a huge part of that,” said Yakabuski.

“I know boards are comprised of volunteers and without the people who give their time, their efforts – they put their heart and souls into it – none of our hospitals would be what they are (without volunteers stepping forward).”

Yakabuski admits he has a “soft spot” for Renfrew Victoria Hospital because of the incredible progress he has seen in his time as the MPP. “I know what a great job the board has done and I certainly

know how hard Randy (Penney, RVH president and CEO) and his team work here as well.

“Today we have a couple of special people to honour for their contributions to this hospital, through their work on the board; and I know that is only a small part of what they do in their communities,” he said.

Director Barb Westgarth has devoted nine years to the board sitting on various committees and chairing the finance committee, Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) committee, and the recruitment committee.

“Barb, for your contributions to this board, to this hospital, to this community, I want to thank you and congratulate you,” he said, presenting her with a certificate of recognition.

Stepping down as chair, Andy Boldt has also spent nine years with the board in various capacities.

“Andy was the chair of the board when the approval was given for the new dialysis nephrology unit that we are so proud of. And then he continued as the board chair until the opening; That’s just one very illustrative part of your accomplishments,” noted Yakabuski.

“On behalf of the board, on behalf of the hospital, I know how hard you worked on that, I know how many meetings I was at, that you were at as well. This is a huge undertaking, but that’s only one part of the operation of RVH. This hospital has a tremendous reputation throughout this province and that doesn’t happen by accident, it happens by great people who are led by a great board. So Andy, for your nine years on the board and five of them as chair, as your Member of Provincial Parliament, I would like to thank you, and wish you the very, very best for your future endeavours.”

Eady also congratulated the ongoing efforts of the board: “It is certainly a privilege to be in a situation like this right now amongst the people who have really put Renfrew on the map in a lot of different ways. “It’s the people within the town, it’s the organizations within the town that provide the leadership,” he continued. “You don’t have to look around this room very far to see the type of leadership that has been provided to the Town of Renfrew.”

Comparing the economic development of the town to a big wheel, Eady said there are a lot of differ-

ent spokes: “The Renfrew Victoria Hospital and board are one of the biggest spokes in that wheel. We see it every day. We hear nothing but good things all of the time (about RVH).”

“Congratulations to everybody who is in this room today – whether you are coming onto the board or have been on the board before and, of course, the administration staff here.”

Newly elected RVH board chair, Keanan Stone, provided a larger picture of the contributions from Westgarth and Boldt over the years. As the chair of the finance committee, Westgarth served as treasurer of the board for a total of five years. “That’s a really significant contribution,” Stone explained. “Anybody who has sat on the finance committee knows how gruelling that can be sometimes going through the numbers all of the time and making sure that we do achieve that balanced budget that we’re so proud of.”

She was also incredibly instrumental in guiding the board through two strategic planning exercises. She helped “defining our mission, our vision and our values and setting the stage for where we want to go in the next 5-10 years.

“Andy has led us through a balanced budget for all five of those years (as chair) as well as the four years previous to that; he did spearhead and was very instrumental in the proposal, development and approval for the nephrology centre, as well as approval for the Health Links and led us through accreditation for which we achieved exemplary status in 2013.” Stone said Boldt was key in navigating through integration process with The Ottawa Hospital radiology department and obtaining necessary approvals for the new clinic building, the appropriate land acquisitions and achieving the road allowance agreement with the Town of Renfrew.

“With Andy’s leadership throughout all of these tremendous achievements of the hospital, we have come through it very, very strongly,” she said.

Boldt says he has “extreme confidence” in Stone as she steps into this role. “I think she is going to set a whole new standard and move the bar up a lot higher.”

“It has been fun to be strapped to a rocket ship; we have all worked together,” Boldt concluded, adding that he is excited for all of the projects underway and on the horizon.
