Community - This Saturday, all roads in Renfrew will lead to Raglan Street.

The Renfrew Business Improvement Association (BIA) is hosting its second annual Festival of Family.

Raglan Street will be closed from Opeongo Road to Patrick Street for the 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. festival.

“We like to have it

closed so everybody that has little kids can run freely and not have to worry about traffic, that kind of thing,” Christina Ouellet of the BIA said Thursday.

The Juggle Bugs are back by popular demand from last year. They skate and unicycle, and keep the crowd entertained, Ouellet said.

Also returning are the Cowguys, and other buskers, including the stilts guy walking up and down main street.

Micksburg business is recipient of Eastern Ontario Development funds News - Renfrew-NipissingPembroke MP Cheryl Gallant has announced that M&R Feeds in Pembroke has qualified for Eastern Ontario Development Program Funding.

“M&R Feeds provides top quality products and services to farmers and many other customers in the Pembroke and Cobden areas, “ said Gallant. The funding will focus on agri-business skills training for employees.

“It is a mentoring program with the purpose of keeping young people engaged and involved in agriculture. Skills

Training takes place in Southern Ontario areas of Guelph, London and Cambridge. Agricultural employment today has many opportunities, particularly in the bio tech fields.

“M&R Feeds is a well established employer, ensuring this funding is well placed in the community,” said Gallant.

The Eastern Ontario Development Program (EODP) is a Government of Canada initiative which promotes economic development in eastern Ontario, leading to a diversified and competitive regional economy with successful businesses

and prosperous communities.

It has been a catalyst in many communities by encouraging new projects and community plans, mobilizing community stakeholders and helping to form partnerships.

“This year, a number of area businesses and organizations will benefit from the Eastern Ontario Development Fund. It is encouraging to see Renfrew County benefiting from this program. I look forward to visiting recipients to see how this funding is helping to achieve their business goals,” said Gallant.

“Providing our rural communities with access to modern, high-speed Internet services is helping them attract investment, jobs and growth.”

“Our goal is to provide higher speeds and bandwidth to at least 95 per cent of homes in Eastern Ontario,” said Rick Phillips, chair of the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (EOWC).

“This new network brings us closer to realizing that goal and to supporting economic growth by connecting Eastern Ontario to the world.”

“We are pleased to launch service to the Highlands zone, a beautiful area that includes some difficult terrain and is very sparsely populated,” said David Burton, chair of the Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN). “It demonstrates how the project is overcoming these challenges to expand broadband access.”

“Today’s launch of high-speed Internet in the Highlands Zone is the culmination of a joint effort by Bell Aliant, EOWC and our government partners,” said John Swantee, Bell Aliant director Network Strategy.

“We look forward to serving the residents of communities in the Highland zone with new and improved broadband services.”

Once the entire Eastern Ontario Regional Network is completed, it will improve high-speed access throughout the nearly 50,000 square kilometres of eastern Ontario, a region encompassing the counties of Hastings, Peterborough,

Get hooked on lifejackets News - The Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) and the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) want to remind anglers that wearing your lifejacket is even more important than wearing your ‘lucky fishing hat’.

But they do share one trait. They both have to be worn to be effective!

Many of those who don’t wear their lifejackets or PFDs believe that, since they are good swimmers, having them onboard and within easy reach is good enough.

But a lifejacket stored under a seat or up in the bow will be of no help should the unexpected happen, like falling overboard while trying to net the catch. “More than half the recreational boats sold in Canada are used for fishing,� says Jean Murray, Chair of the Canadian Safe Boating Council. “And during National Fishing Week, the Canadian Safe Boating Council would like to urge all anglers not only to have their lifejacket onboard their boat, but to wear it. Wearing a lifejacket also provides a great example to children who look to their parents for guidance!�

Tramps were transient back in the Depression years Mary Cook’s Memories

BY MARY COOK

it on the back stoop and tell them to come in when they had washed up.

The brothers would squeeze together on the bench and make room for the tramp, and Mother would laden a plate full of food, and I would watch mesmerized as the food vanished as if they hadn’t eaten in days, and there was a good chance they hadn’t.

Father would try to make conversation. But the tramps said little. And we five children clammed up as if we had lost our tongues. I wanted to know where they had come from, and how they had become tramps, but of course, I too sat mute while the food disappeared.

As quickly as they came, they spent just enough time to cram in their heaping plates of food, and then they stood and were ready to head out again.

Mother would tell them to sit a spell, and we always knew what she was going to do, because it never varied all the time we lived through those Depression years.

She would take a brown paper bag off the rack at the back door. Then she would go to the bake table and make thick sandwiches of whatever meat we

had had for dinner. Always she would tuck in cookies or a big piece of pie, and then she would go to the ice box and with the ice pick chip off big slivers of ice and put them into a glass jar that at one time held pickles or preserves, and fill it with cold water from the granite pail.

Often I would see the tramp wipe his eyes with the back of his hand, as he thanked Mother and tucked the bulging paper bag into the sack he carried on the end of a short pole resting on his shoulder. And he would go as quietly as he had come, out the back door and down the hill, making his way to the railroad tracks. I knew he would be waiting until the next freight train rounded the corner at the very back of the farm. It would slow down to handle the curve in the track, and Father said this was where they would jump on the train and go off to goodness knows where.

We never saw the same tramp twice. And they came in all shapes and sizes, and all ages.

Some of them, I thought, were no more than boys ... young like my three brothers. And I would wonder why they were tramps, and my brothers weren’t.

And then one day I learned at least a partial answer to that question. The young tramp that rapped on our kitchen door that day was whip thin, and as clean as a whistle. His hair was coalblack, and slicked down, showing that he had taken more than a quick wash in the river.

Just as he finished tucking into his second piece of pie he asked Father for a job. He talked more than any other tramp we had ever fed. He was what was called a “home boy�. He came from England as a 12 year old, he said. From an orphanage. He was sent to a farm in the Ottawa Valley, where he suffered from abuse and endless hours of labour.

Father told him there was no money for a hired man, and besides we had three strapping boys to do the chores. But the tramp persevered. He told Father if he could sleep in the barn, and have three meals a day, and a Flat-Fifty of cigarettes every Saturday night, he would work for nothing. And that was how one of those tramps who rode the rails and depended on the generosity of others, became our hired man. He really became a member of the family, and I would often see Father slip the man, who was really a boy, a dollar when he could spare it.

The tramps were a symbol of that era. We knew not where they had come from, or where they were going. It mattered little what time of year it was ...winter or summer, almost dai-

ly we could count on seeing a tramp coming up over the West Hill.

And they were never turned away. They came

hungry, and they left with full bellies and enough food to take them to the next stop on their endless journey.

Opinion - Father was sure there was a hidden sign nailed to a tree, only visible to the countless tramps who rode the rails that said, “jump here ... good food up the hill.�

Deep in the heart of the Depression years, almost as if they were put there to remind us there was someone in worse shape than we were, tramps walked the back roads, rode the freight trains, and survived by begging for their next meal.

Countless numbers found their way to our kitchen door, always around dinner time, looking for something to eat.

They frightened me, although Father said they were harmless, and I was glad that if they did surface at night, we never saw them. My brothers were sure they often came up over the West Hill and slept in the barn where they were warm and away from the outdoor elements.

They seemed to know, on the farm, the big meal was at the noon hour. They also seemed to know when the family was all seated at the table, because that was when we would hear the gentle knock on the door.

They never had to ask for something to eat. We knew why they were there. Mother would look them over, and if they were clean, having taken a wash in the Bonnechere River before coming up the hill, they were invited in. If they looked like they needed a hand-scrub, Mother would take out a wash basin of warm soapy water, put

On our changing climate Kathy Lindsay Bonnechere River Watershed Project

Over the last 60 years the Earth has been warming, and here in the Ottawa Valley, by about half a degree Celsius.

So what? Well, wildlife has already been affected showing changes in their spatial distribution and breeding patterns.

For example, 22 bird species at or near their northern breeding limit in our region have shown range shifts northward over the last 20 years.

In Algonquin Park, 80 species of birds (68 per cent of those analyzed) are now arriving earlier in the spring, and 31 species (26 per cent) are leaving later in the fall than they did 40 years ago.

Current climate models predict that by 2050 the Ottawa Valley will be about 3 degrees Celsius warmer and 6 per cent wetter on an annual basis than it is today.

In turn, changes in habitat suitability are expected to cause a 20 per cent turnover in species composition of birds, mammals and amphibians (based on ranges of 271 species analyzed). Of that, half is from species being gained as the region gets warmer and wetter, the other half from species being lost through northward shifts in their climatic envelopes.

So more change is coming! What should we do to get ready?

First off – to manage, we need to measure. It’s easy to lose track of incremental change. So it’s critical that we establish our baseline now and monitor for change. A good

place to start is with wildlife and freshwater quality, levels and flows. The BRWP RiverWatch program is working on all of these for our watershed.

Next, we need to think about what might happen in the future.

Over the past five years, the BRWP has been working with residents to understand what they most value about our watershed and to envision a series of possible futures. By having a sense of our possible futures, we can then assess our vulnerability to change.

Two factors emerged as the most likely to influence the path forward – the level of local engagement in decisionmaking and whether decisions are based on a short-term or a long-term perspective. For each future, we crafted a narrative that tells the story of how the watershed would develop over the next 40 years.

To augment these stories, we worked with a local artist to visualize what the Bonnechere River watershed could look like by the middle of this century.

The paintings have given us the means to talk with folks of all ages, local governments, and other decision makers about choice in a way that is grounded in our home place, local identity and local distinctiveness.

It has also inspired our original musical comedy theatre production, Bonnechere River: Future Tense, which is touring the watershed this summer (see the performance schedule on our website), and a photographic commission that will premiere during our

SUMMER THEATRE: Each week members of the summer theatre work with the various playgrounds, and at the end of each week on Friday afternoon plays are presented. The first of such performances was held last Friday afternoon at the Legion Playground with children from Anticosti, St Francis Xavier, Legion and Fatima playground taking part. They were excellent and provided good entertainment. Next Friday the plays will take place at Fortington for playgrounds in that area. If you would like an afternoon of good entertainment, plan to attend one of these Friday afternoon productions. They will continue all summer for your entertainment. This week the plays will be held at 10:30 a.m.

Now our challenge is to engage more actively around impacts of climate change and adaptation measures for current plans and practices.

As one local example, the Mississippi Valley Conservation has been assessing effects of projected climate change on water management practices to achieve flood control, water supply, waste assimilation, recreation, hydropower generation and conservation of aquatic ecosystems.

EDITORIAL

Byelections only delay the inevitable Byelections are traditionally an opportunity for voters to protest public policy and punish the government.

But Premier Kathleen Wynne has taken it one step further by scheduling five byelections on Aug. 1 – a couple days before the start of a long weekend –and in effect punishing the voters, by staging a vote during the dead of summer.

The byelections were triggered by the resignations of five Liberals, including former premier Dalton McGuinty, long-time MPP of Ottawa South.

Is the government hoping to escape the lash of the voter by staging them during a time that will attract the minimum number of people? We’re not talking about the dyed-inwool Liberal/Conservatives/ NDP supporters, the kind who would cast their ballots in the middle of a hurricane.

No, the timing of the summer byelection is aimed squarely at the balance of the electorate: the undecideds, the

swing vote and, of course, the cottage country enthusiasts.

Hmmm, take the week off and take the family to the lake or stick around for some rousing political debate and byelection chatter.

In a perfect world, every Ontarian would take it as their duty to vote in every election, be they federal, provincial or municipal. But we don’t live in a perfect world, and we only need to look at the dismal turnout for the last provincial election to prove that.

In 2011, less than half of eligible voters headed to the polls, an event that irritated Democracy Watch to no end, spurring the organization to call for changes to the system.

A byelection figures to attract a remarkably smaller crowd.

When scheduling an election, a government should endeavour to hold it during a time period designed to attract the most people possible.

Unfortunately, this is a truism that only holds if the gov-

ernment actually wants people to vote. In fact, Premier Kathleen Wynne wants to avoid an election – byelection or general – for as long as humanly possible.

For the few months she’s been in power, the fledgling premier has been bailing water for the Good Ship Liberal, cleaning up the mess left behind by Dalton McGuinty, who resigned shortly before the government was hammered with scandals, such as the gas plant fiasco and a police investigation of the Ornge air ambulance service.

Meanwhile, the electorate waits with baited and steaming breath, looking to wreak vengeance on the Liberals by cleaning house in the next general election.

While we commend the political acumen of our premier, she might want to consider simply biting the bullet and holding a general election – not during a civic holiday – as soon as possible. To do otherwise is just delaying the inevitable.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The do’s and don’ts of multiple sclerosis A great big thank you To the editor: Don’t think that when I walk away from my handicapped parking spot appearing healthy, that I am taking advantage of this aid. I have to conserve my energy and I may not be able to return to my car appearing quite as well.

Don’t be confused that some days I have difficulty walking and some days I appear perfectly healthy.

That’s just the way MS works.

Don’t assume that because I look okay, I feel okay. You have no idea what invisible symptoms

of MS are going on inside of me.

Don’t think that I have a drinking problem because I stagger and stumble. Almost every person I know with MS has been accused of being drunk numerous times. I am also not drinking when I have difficulty talking. It is hard enough living with this disease, and made more painful when people accuse you of having an alcohol problem. Please let me, at least, maintain my dignity.

Don’t tell me about someone you know who has MS and is working

Where’s the real blame?

However, I blame the charity for paying money for a talk that is asking people to part with their money.

Don’t think that I have let myself go because I have gained weight. The drugs I have to take make me this way.

Don’t feel sorry for me because I certainly do not.

I believe that there is a cure just around the corner and I will be my old self again.

Don’t be angry with me when I cancel plans at the last minute. I never know from one day to the next how I am going to be feel-

Don’t write me off because I have this disease.

I still like to be included. I would like to be the one to decide as to what I can do and what I can’t. I am still determined to ski again and go sky diving someday!

Do ask me any questions you might have about this MonSter. I would be happy to share with you what I have learned.

If more people knew about MS, I wouldn’t be writing this letter.

for so much support

To the editor: I am writing this letter from the Vanderzwaag/ Quackenbush families to shout out a great big thank you to the many people in Renfrew County (and perhaps beyond) who have helped us out in our time of need.

From the time of Zach’s diagnosis at the end of February, to Elizabeth Postma’s letter of appeal, to the many wonderful people who have organised fundraisers,allowed us to set up donation jars or given of their time, money, meals and prayers, we are forever grateful!

Zach’s journey is ongoing as he has chemo treatments almost every week at CHEO for the next year.

Please keep him and his family (mom Maggie, dad Larry and sister Emily) in your thoughts and prayers.

We have lived in the Renfrew County area for a number of years now and as our family has grown up, married and worked here, we have met and befriended many people.

What an outpouring of love and support we have felt through this time! You have shown once again how generous you all are.

God bless!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Connected to your community

We can’t see the trees for the fortress To the editor: Did you know you can walk into almost any business or government agency across Canada, including a police station, but you can’t walk into a Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) office because the MNR doors are locked?

Instead you must call them up and go through an interrogation before you can get permission to visit, because if you arrive at the door unannounced you will not be allowed in, like you could before MNR offices became fortresses.

These are the same security protocols the gun registry people required citizens to go through – and they had to be passed before anyone could gain access to them – because the registry people knew what they were doing was wrong, as it violated the Charter of Rights and freedoms and criminalized law-abiding citizens.

So they fortified themselves behind locked doors and multiple levels of security to ensure that angry citizens could not confront them face to face, especially after rightly anticipating many Canadians would object to losing their rights and freedoms and would fight to keep them. Fortunately,

however, federal MP Cheryl Gallant did the fighting instead, and the gun registry was finally defeated.

That’s why the MNR doors are locked; because they know sooner or later an outraged landowner whose property was appropriated, designated as an endangered species habitat - a bobolink nesting area - a turtle sanctuary - a no development zone (or some other MNR craziness) will show up at an MNR office with serious payback in mind, and none of us want to see that happen.

Because the MNR knows full well what they are doing is wrong and it’s just a matter of time before someone resorts to violence. Because if the MNR’s harassment of landowners continues to escalate somebody will eventually be forced into a corner they don’t want to be in and when that happens they will come out swinging.

And although I hope it never comes to this, if landowners do come out swinging their oppressors are going to learn what it means to provoke the wrath of peaceful citizens.

Therefore, in order to prevent a situation of this nature from occurring, Renfrew

County landowners must band together – obtain land patents on their property – and begin prosecuting lawsuits in the courts.

Because while none of us want to see things get out of hand in Renfrew County, there’s only so much oppression people are going to take before they will revolt against it, and oppressing is exactly what the MNR has been doing to landowners not only in Renfrew County, but all over the province of Ontario as well, and they intend to keep on doing it. So the time has come to stop them.

Donald E. Broome Cobden Editor’s Note: The Ministry of Natural Resources confirms that, at the Pembroke office, an outer door leads to a windowed vestibule with a service phone and information centre. The inside door is locked and there is no direct access to the offices. Pembroke was one of the last MNR offices in the province to make the access transition.

As a cost-savings measure, since staff are often out of the office, the public is advised to book ahead for an appointment or visit a Service Ontario office.

To the editor: I placed two matching hanging baskets of yellow flowers at the Goshen Cemetery on Sunday morning, one on each of my Aunts graves. I returned at 6:30 Sunday evening to find them both gone. On behalf of my Aunt Peg Campbell and my Aunt Jean McGregor, I do hope that the present owner of said flowers enjoys their beauty as they hang in the yard. I just cannot comprehend stealing from the deceased.

Gladys Sidock Renfrew

Lack of respect for the deceased

Hot vehicles are a danger and death trap To the editor: We are in the year 2013, and I still cannot grasp why people insist on leaving children and pets in the boiling heat of a vehicle in the summertime.

There needs to be more education regarding the endangerment that the victims go through. Maybe some advertisements by the government, the SPCA, the police in the newspapers, the radio, TV, posters, whatever.

I have seen two different dogs on two different occasions left in a vehicle on a sweltering hot day while the neglectful owners were in a downtown store. I know this because I watched them come out of that business.

The first time I called 911 and reported his license plates. I did tell him out my window that I did that. The second time, the owner was just getting into his vehicle when I was getting out of mine. How long was the dog left in the vehicle? I do not know, but long enough that the idiotic owner had

four bags of groceries. The two back windows were down approximately an inch and a half.

I quote, “It is against the law to leave a pet unattended in a parked vehicle in a manner that endangers the health or safety of the animal. Under the Ontario SPCA Act, OSPCA investigators have the authority of a police officer when enforcing those laws pertaining to animals.

The Act permits the investigator to issue a written order to the owner of the animal or to take the necessary steps to relieve the animal from distress. Noncompliance of an OSPCA order may result in the animal being removed from private property (including parked vehicles).’

Leave your pets at home people!

I will call 911 on the negligent person who leaves a living, breathing person or pet in a sweltering hot vehicle.

Thank you, Leanne Stubinski Renfrew

Community - It is not uncommon for your pet to become infected with an internal parasite at some point in their lives; typically it is primarily the tapeworm and roundworm that owners will see.

Did you know that nearly all puppies and kittens are born with roundworm? Many mothers pass this to their young before they are born and while nursing; for this reason, puppies, kittens and mother should be regularly dewormed.

Your pet can also be infected by ingesting contaminated soil containing roundworm eggs and from eating small rodents and wild animals. These worms live within the intestines and many pets will not show symptoms until it reaches extensive infection.

Roundworms are long and white and are often described as looking like strands of spaghetti.

Affected puppies and kittens will generally have a pot bellied appearance and major infections will have symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss and worms may be noticed in your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stool.

Tapeworm is another common intestinal parasite infecting pets. This parasite is spread through the ingestion of mice ďŹ&#x201A;eas and other small rodents. Like the roundworm, it attaches to the wall of the intestines in your pet. Infections are usually diagnosed by owners ďŹ nding tapeworm segments (small white grains of rice) in stool, around the hind end and in areas where their pet sleeps.

Pets with this parasite usually are not sick and do not loose weight.

Owners often believe when they see their pet â&#x20AC;&#x153;scooting,â&#x20AC;? this indicates they have worms, that is not always the case.

This action is often done for reasons relating to blocked or irritated anal gland or inďŹ&#x201A;ammation of skin in that area.

You may not always be aware your pet is infected with an intestinal parasite and this why regular deworming and stool testing for parasitic eggs is recommend at your pets yearly checkups.

Many owners wonder if their pets intestinal worms can be spread to them? Yes, roundworms can pose a risk to humans when in contact with contaminated soil or stool is ingested.

Children should be kept away from areas where pets deposit stool as roundworm eggs can accumulate in these areas.

In regards to tapeworm, people are rarely infected.

If you think your pet may have worms, contact your local veterinary who can test your pet stool and suggest appropriate treatment and future prevention to keep you and your pet healthy.

12 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, July 18, 2013

Arts - The Renfrew Highland Pipes and Drums and the Renfrew County Fiddlers will be playing in O’Brien Park on Sunday, July 21.

The Concert in the Park series runs from 2 to 4 p.m.

As part of the pipe band celebrating 100 years of piping in Renfrew, the Pipes and Drums are starting each of their concerts with the playing and singing of The Maple Leaf Forever. (O Canada is not a tune suited for the pipes.)

The Maple Leaf Forever was written by Alexander Muir in 1867 inspired by Muir’s participation with the Queens Own Rifles against an American Fenian invasion the previous year. The original lyrics that most Canadians over 50 know were steeped in symbols of England and the Empire. Lyrics that do not reflect the reality of Canada in 2013.

Several years ago the CBC ran a contest for new lyrics and it is these winning lyrics that we hope people will sing while pipers play the tune.

Because few people know these new words we have printed the first verse and chorus.

If you would like to join us in this celebration of Canada please bring these words with you and sing out as loud as you can.

THE MAPLE LEAF FOREVER

O, land of blue unending skies, Mountains strong and sparkling snow, A scent of freedom in the wind, O’er the emerald fields below.

In thee we have our hopes, our dreams, For thee we stand together, Our land of peace, where proudly flies, The Maple Leaf forever.

Chorus: Long may it wave, and grace our own, Blue skies and stormy weather, Within my heart, above my home, The Maple Leaf forever!

Bridget’s Army on the march Patricia Leboeuf pleboeuf@metroland.com

News - When six-year-old Bridget Rose Zavitske smiles, she lights up the room.

It’s a contagious grin, belying her sweet and loving nature to those around her.

She loves to dance, to draw, to play hockey and soccer. She loves animals of all types, her friends and the colour red.

She just graduated senior kindergarten at Stonecrest Elementary where her favorite subject is gym.

And yet she manages to accomplish it all with Stage IV Wilm’s tumor. This cancer typically occurs in young children and effects the kidneys. It has cost Bridget her left kidney. It has also spread to her lungs and lymph nodes.

It spread quickly.

On June 17, the family rushed to CHEO’s ER and three days and a whirlwind of tests later, Bridget was on the operating table.

Two weeks after that, she started chemotherapy and radiation.

“She has been pretty sick from that,” said her mother Christy McNeely Zavitske. “We are hoping the sickness doesn’t last. We hear the first few weeks of chemo are the worst.”

Bridget doesn’t let her illness doesn’t define her.

“A week from her surgery date she was at her soccer game cheering on her team,” said McNeely Zavitske. “I was stressing out making sure she sat still.”

Her strength and tenacity has allowed her to return to her home in Dunrobin much

sooner than doctors anticipated.

This is to everybody’s relief.

Her siblings, Maddy, 16, Stella, 7, and Miller, 2-and-a-half, were extremely concerned and were acutely anxious to see the youngest daughter home. They were overjoyed to have her back. The family is very close.

“We come from very close families,” said McNeely Zavitske. “My family is from Carleton Place and Dave’s (Bridget’s father) is from Renfrew.”

This closeness has been demonstrated by their community’s unwavering support.

Nicknamed Bridget’s Army, friends, family, random strangers and local businesses have come out of the woodwork to give their support.

“I honestly can’t believe the support we have received from family, friends and total strangers,” said Bridget’s mother.

They’ve organized a food drive, school and community groups have sent the family monetary gifts as well as presents for Bridget.

Family friend Jennifer Facchin has created a team of runners, named Bridget’s Brigades, who will be running 100km from Ottawa to Montebello for the Relay to End Kids Cancer on Oct. 5. Her goal is to raise $500 for national pediatric oncology research initiatives at CHEO. More initiatives are coming.

“I have a group of friends who have started a group called Bridget’s Worker Bees,” said McNeely Zavitske. “They have some great ideas: an evening gala, a change and bottle

drive, etc.

“I’m hoping they can also donate money to local cancer organizations as I feel we have been so blessed with the amount of support we have been receiving,” she added. “Everyone is really working hard out there.”

While Bridget was in the hospital she received hundreds and hundreds of emails and photos. Seeing all these kind words and pictures of friends kept her spirits up during the worst of it.

“The gifts, and cards and flowers, from her school friends, dance school friends, family, old friends of ours, and complete strangers, really made her so happy,” said her mother.

Bridget is still very much a little girl and it can be difficult to manage Bridget’s youthful exuberance and medical caution.

“I give her space. I am also strong for her and don’t let her take advantage of being sick,” said McNeely Zavitske. “As long as she is happy, I stay happy.

There is a tough journey ahead for Bridget and her family, but knowing she has her own army helps tremendously.

“We have already received so much, much more than I would have ever imagined,” said McNeely Zavitske. “I would just like everyone to keep thinking positive thoughts for Bridget. They have definitely worked for her so far.”

Six-year-old Bridget Rose Zavitske receives her cancer treatment at CHEO. Despite losing a kidney, she remains in high spirits and enjoys the hospital playroom.

The entire family composed of Maddy, 16, Stella, 7, and Miller, 2-and-a-half as well as parents Christy McNeely Zavitske and Dave Zavitske are ecstatic to see Bridget Rose come home early from the hospital.

Hospice Renfrew If you are a mature person with a compassionate, giving spirit, and some hours to commit to helping others, then the residents of Hospice Renfrew and their families need volunteers from our community to share companionship, provide care and compassion, and to contribute to the on-going organizational needs of the hospice.

Hospice Renfrew is looking for volunteers, particularly for those interested in sharing their time and talents in gardening, reception, and resident and family support. As well, we are always pleased to have individuals who are able to contribute to a variety of additional activities such as, for example: hairdressing, light indoor and outdoor maintenance, and other short-term projects.

Requirements for volunteering include the completion of a 30-hour training program and a criminal background check. Volunteers must be over the age of 18, mature, and able to commit 3-4 hours a week to providing a caring environment for residents and their families.

Our next training program will begin in late August. For more information, please contact Diane Litchfield, Coordinator of Volunteer Resources at Hospice Renfrew at 613-433-3993, ext. 2231 or dianelitchfield@hospicerenfrew.ca Hospice Renfrew 459 Albert Street Renfrew, Ontario K7V 1V8

Adult High School grads honoured Peggie McLeese Teacher, Renfrew Adult High School

Community - This year’s Renfrew Adult High School graduation ceremony was an intimate affair.

While more than 30 people actually graduated from the school, only 12 students were able to attend the ceremony.

There were, however, many well wishers present at the Renfrew Recreation Centre for these select few individuals.

Among them were the director of Renfrew County District School Board Roger Clarke and trustee Marjorie Doering. Both offered words of praise and encouragement to the graduates.

To present the graduates with their diplomas

was the school’s principal, Loran Young.

Young acknowledged the graduates’ accomplishments this year.

Also on hand were many supporters from the community, including Tom Carroll, representing Mackay Manor, and both Bea Hunt and Jan Wilson, who were present on behalf of another Adult High School sponsor, the University Women’s Club, Renfrew chapter.

In spite of the extreme heat, the ceremony went smoothly, capped off with a succinct speech from valedictorian Peter Thompson.

Thompson commented on both the care and commitment of the school’s teachers, and the community spirit fostered within the classroom. In all, the night was a moving and lively event, leaving fond memories for all who attended.

Community - St. Thomas the Apostle School’s Grade 7 class celebrated their graduation on June 25. The graduates were supported by a large crowd of staff members, peers and extended family and friends.

Father Kerry Brennan bestowed a blessing on the graduates and Seminarian Scott Murray provided a wonderful reflection on the readings.

Anne Haley, trustee for the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board, brought greetings and highlighted that she had heard the STA Class of 2013 will be remembered for being a very “spirit-filled class”. This is very true!

From leading the school in numerous spirit days to teaching everyone great new dances, this year’s graduates were

a wonderfully enthusiastic group of students.

They were wonderful leaders and of the 32 graduates, eight were on the honour roll with averages exceeding 80 per cent. As well, students were recognized for their hard work, perseverance, citizenship, Christian leadership and athletic abilities.

The valedictorian was Sydney Perry. She also received the highest academic achievement award and a new award, The Bev Moran Award, named for the secretary of STA who is retiring after 28 years at the school. This award acknowledges the helpfulness, organizational skills, hard work, enthusiasm and ‘listening ear’ that Mrs. Moran has been noted for at STA! Award winners are: • Recognition award for hard work and perseverance, and the Jennifer McGregor

TOWN OF RENFREW

NOTICE OF STUDY COMPLETION Municipal Class Environmental Assessment for Jennet Street Drainage Improvements The Town of Renfrew has completed an Environmental Assessment (EA) of the need, alternatives and preferred solution for drainage improvements in the vicinity of Jennet Street. The area has experienced major floods in the last decade with the last recent flooding occurring in June 2011.

The study has developed a recommended storm sewer plan that includes 400 m of new storm sewer, with the design flow rate based on the 100 year peak flow.

This project followed a Schedule ‘B’ Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process which culminates in the production of a Project File. The Project File, which includes the study purpose, process and recommendations, is now available for a 30-day public review period.

The public review period begins on June 7, 2013. Written comments may be submitted until July 19, 2013 to: Mike Asselin, P.Eng. Director of Development and Works Town of Renfrew, 127 Raglan Street South Renfrew, ON K7V 1P8 Phone (613) 432-8166 Fax (613) 432-8265 email: masselin@town.renfrew.on.ca If concerns regarding the project cannot be resolved in discussion with the Town, a person/party may request a Part II Order, which is a request to the Minister that the project comply with Part II of the Environmental Assessment Act. The request must be received within the 30 day review period (i.e. July 19, 2013).

A copy of the request must also be sent to the Town at the address noted above. If no requests are received within the 30-day review period, the project will receive environmental clearance. Subsequently, the project may proceed to design and construction dependent on funding and Town priorities.

Community - There is a dog heaven!

And it’s at Ma-Te-Way Park.

About 30 dogs and their owners were on hand for Renfrew’s Off Leash Dog Park’s grand opening June 26.

And many more dogs joined in on the fun as the three-hour opening marched on.

The dog park is located off Belanger Road past the Rusheleau Ball Diamond. There is plenty of parking.

“It’s a wonderful feeling to have this park finally open after just over a year of planning.

I think dogs and their owners are quite happy tonight,” Renfrew Parks and Recreation program developer Jo-anne Caldwell said with a grin.

“There were over 30 within

the first hour, and there’s more coming,” Caldwell said of dog attendance.

The Renfrew Lions Club has shown a continuing support for the off leash park, and made a cheque presentation to Caldwell at the ribbon cutting.

LIONS CLUB SUPPORT

“Tonight, the Lions Club did make a presentation for $1,000. In the past, they have also supported the park when the concept first came about, so, they are looking into the future to supporting us.”

Coun. Jim Miller, Clint McWhirter and Andrew Evans, on behalf of the town, were also on hand to join Lion Bob Boyer and Lion Keith McDonald and McDonald’s guide dog Murphy to help open the park.

The recreation department

served barbecued hot dogs and soft drinks at the one-acre-plus park’s opening.

“People are definitely encouraged to come here to train their dogs,” Caldwell noted.

“Often times, people will use dog treats to help in that process, so you do see a few people in the park with liver treats or hot dogs encouraging their dogs to sit or come, or stay.”

There are more good times for dogs and their owners ahead. “There is the second annual Bark-in-the-Park on July 27,” Caldwell said. “There will be vendors and games and prizes, different activities for the owners and the dogs.”

The dog park is not lit night, but people and their dogs are welcomed to come in anytime, Caldwell noted. Just follow the rules, which are posted at the main entrance.

Don’t miss out!

Miracle or garden phenomenon Christine McNaughton’s Lynn Street garden has two rhubarb patches. One is like most rhubarb patches in your garden. The other has 24” by 28” leaves. According to McNaughton, both make delicious pies and rhubarb crumple.

Christine says both patches were fed Miracle-Gro plant helper, so how can you explain the huge overgrowth in one? She suggests that, “Perhaps we could call it a Miracle-Gro garden phenomenon? You decide.” In late spring, Christine’s garden was filled with saucer-size poppies. She said everyone who sees them wants a pod. A pod holds hundreds of seeds. Maybe she’s the miracle.

Community - It’ll be a big year for the 433 (Champlain) Wing of the Air Force Association of Canada as members look toward their 60th anniversary celebrations May 14, 2014.

Renfrew’s 59th Charter Night was held June 17 in the Roundel Lounge.

President Dan Duchene said it is important for the association to continue to support the air cadets and their other local causes, and support the community at Remembrance Day and other events.

“By doing so, we will be filling the aims and objectives of our association,” Duchene said. “I encourage all members to be as engaged as much as they wish to be, not only in volunteering, but even in dialogue to provide solutions or suggestions.”

Duchene saluted full-time and part-time employees and

volunteers at the Wing.

As of July 1, the Wing is reverting back to its previous name of the Royal Canadian Air Force Association, Duchene noted.

“We are happy with that,” the president added.

“I look forward to the upcoming year. It’s very gratifying when we get to recognize our members.”

He said regardless of the occasion, the 433 Wing always comes together for their own.

Duchene said he hopes to see everyone out to the Wing’s general meeting on Monday, Sept. 16.

The 2013-14 executive was introduced: president Dan Duchene, past president Ron Price, first vice Pat Soucy, second vice Marie Wojick, third vice Suzanne Lachambre, fourth vice Jack Porter, office manager and treasurer Norm Ilan, and secretary Joan Price.

Milestone membership pins were also presented for years of service.

Community - Each year, the Renfrew County Cattlemen’s Association (RCCA) hosts a special project.

The project for 2013 was supplying one-pound packages of hamburger to food banks in Renfrew County.

There are nine food banks in Renfrew County benefiting from this project. Seven of the food banks, including the Renfrew and District Food Bank, are receiving 120 onepound packages of the hamburger. Calabogie and Cobden will get 75 packages.

The RCCA purchased the hamburger from Reiche’s Meats just outside of Pembroke for $3.25 a pound.

“We have directors going to Pembroke with the hamburger for Deep River and Pembroke; to Eganville for Killaloe, Eganville, Barry’s Bay and Cobden, and to Renfrew with hamburger for Renfrew, Calabogie and Arnprior,” the RCCA said in a press release.

“This project serves two purposes; one being the fact that the hamburger is local beef and secondly, it shows that farmers do indeed feed people.”

There are currently 11 directors on the board of the RCCA. Two of them - Craig McLaughlin and Dave Campbell - made the beef presentations to Renfrew, Calabogie and Arnprior.

David McGonegal is the association’s president.

You’ll find Callahan Estates just west of Daniel Street on Edey near Jed Creek in old world Arnprior. This stunning location offers the best of both worlds. You can enjoy the timeless charms of smaller town living while being a scant twenty minutes from major urban amenities in neighboring Kanata and Ottawa. Enjoy the best the outdoors has to offer with local walking trails, beaches, parks, ski hills and more all just minutes away. The perfect lifestyle for families, with the Fraser Institutes 2013 top ranked elementary school just down the road.

Be a responsible dog owner, says Canada Post Canada Post

Community - Following any winter, the warmer spring air encourages many Canadians to enjoy long-awaited outdoor activities.

Household pets are outdoors more often, too, and this can sometimes lead to unhappy results for Canada Post employees.

Last year, close to 600 employees were bitten, chased, lunged at or threatened by dogs and Canada Post would like to remind customers to be responsible dog owners and ensure the safety of delivery personnel.

“Customers often tell us their dog is safe or won’t bite.

“Unfortunately, it is hard for our employees to accurately predict the behavior of an animal who instinctively tries to protect its property from strangers – which is often how we are perceived,” says Doug Jones, senior vice president, delivery and customer experience.

Dog attacks can leave lasting physical and emotional scars, and not just on Canada Post employees.

In Ontario alone in 2011-2012, there were over 13,000 emergency room visits related to dog attacks according to the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI).

Many other bites go unreported.

Canada’s top wake surfers, from left, ready for action are Chris Hau, Caroline Villeneuve and Dominic Lagace. They competed at the Calabogie Wake Surf Championship off the shoreline at the Peaks on the weekend. In behind is the boat they wake surf behind, a Centurion represented by George’s Marina and Sports.

Chris Neil of the Ottawa Senators, who has a cottage not far from Calabogie Peaks, was among the wake surfers in the men’s amateur skim division on the weekend. From left are young neighbouring cottagers who were there to cheer Neil on, Cam Fishwick, Owen McVeigh and Jack McVeigh.

World wake surf circuit makes its debut at Calabogie Peaks Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - Calabogie Peaks Resort has hosted numerous events in recent years.

Another first came under beautiful sunny skies this past weekend.

The Calabogie Wake Surf Championship was held Thursday through Saturday and crowds looked on from the Calabogie Lake shoreline.

The wake surfing championship circuit consists of 12 events in the world this year. Only two are in Canada, last week’s event being one.

Other events are held in Russia, Germany, Switzerland, Thailand, Mexico, Canada, and several stops in the United States.

A new and upcoming sport, wake surfing involves holding a rope about 10-feet behind a boat. The boat is going about 10 miles per hour, When the competitor gets a groove, they let go of the rope and free surf, just like being in the ocean, organizers point out.

Last week’s competitors included Canadian pros Caroline Villeneuve, Chris Hau and Dominic Lagace.

“I’m very excited. I like to travel a lot. It’s nice to be coming closer to what I used to call home, (Chambly) Quebec,” said Villeneuve, known in the circuit as Caro, the Queen of Canadian Wake Surfing.

“I’ve been wake surfing since 2007. My first competition was in Quebec. I’ve been on the tour in the States and have been going everywhere since 2009.”

Villeneuve surfed her way to the championship in the pro women’s skim division. She now resides in British Columbia.

Aurora’s Hau caught wake surf fever three years ago.

“I’ve been competing for the last two years, and I’ve been in water sports for my whole life,” he added.

“I’ve gone down to Florida, and also been in some competitions this year in Ontario.”

Lagace of Trois-Rivieres has been wake surfing for close to 10 years.

tour for this circuit. That’s a great achievement for our county.

“Like the music festivals, it tends to attract a different audience, and this audience has a passion for wake surfing, and they’ve come from all over North America to be here. Then, of course, it draws a local crowd that are interested in seeing wake surfing, which is a relatively new sport, one in which many people don’t know much about. In fact, many of us at Calabogie Peaks didn’t know much about it until Scott and Steve approached us, and we thought it was a great idea,” Murphy said.

The World Series events are important qualifiers that will culminate at the 2013 World Wake Surfing Championship being held in Las Vegas, Nevada, boasting a purse of $100,000 cash and prizes.

“I used to wake board and surf in the ocean. After awhile, they came out with wake surfing, that’s what they were calling it, behind the boat.

“We just got the board and went and tried it. We didn’t know anything, what to expect. It was so much fun, we just started doing it.”

Wake surfing took over from wakeboarding in 2005 for Lagace.

“I’ve been wake surfing and competing. It’s been good so far. I’ve been travelling the world to do that.”

Peaks owner Paul Murphy was pleased to be able to bring another event to the community.

“We are doing it in partership with a couple of gentlemen who live on the lake here, Scott D’Ascenzo and Stephen Karam,” he said.

“The idea here is to take advantage of our beautiful waterfront and our beautiful shoreline to host a worldclass wake fest championship,” Murphy added.

Seventh Aikenheadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Classic at Renfrew GC Friday, Aug. 16

Volleyball, family fish derby in Horton Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - Horton Township held a recreation family day July 6 which featured a fishing derby on the free fishing weekend, mixed beach volleyball tournament and an afternoon barbecue.

Recreation program manager Kathleen Rogers said the turnout wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t what they had hoped, but noted that the event might have been held too close to Canada Day, which drew a huge gathering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a disappointing turnout for the chicken barbecue,â&#x20AC;? Rogers said.

But she also looked at the bright side. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The chicken was great!â&#x20AC;?

Winners in the junior division of the fish derby were: First: Shaelyn Barr, 2 pound, 11 ounce catfish; Second: Jared LaFont, 2 lb. 8 oz. bass; Third: Maxx Steele, 2 lb., 1 oz. small mouth bass.

Barr is just two years old and LaFont three.

Adult winners were: First: Graham Giles, 3 pound, 12 ounce pike; Second: Jim Anderson, 2 lb. 8 oz. catfish; Third: Roberta Molin 2 lb. 6 oz. pike.

Organizers thanked Ann Rawn for allowing the use of her land for the fish derby.

Her husband Larry was a main organizer of the Castleford Charity Ice Fishing Derby for years.

Dave Bennett donated a dock for the weigh-in centre, Vern Barr lent out the NAPA Auto Parts event trailer and Ottawa Senators defenceman Marc Methot contributed some Senators paraphernalia.

Included was a Methotautographed hockey stick, won by Jim Anderson.

The winning team for the Horton Beach Volley ball tournament was Unicorn Rainbow Explosion.

Team members were captain Andy Skerkowski, Ryan Lunney, Chris Armstrong, Adam Buelow, Beth Turner and Tiffany Gagnon. They won the top prize of $200.

Sports - Aikenheadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Drug Store is teaming up this year with the Renfrew Golf Club to raise funds for Hospice Renfrew.

This prestigious event has raised over $117,000 since it started.

The Aikenheadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospice Classic is scheduled for Friday, Aug. 16 and costs $540 (HST included) for each team.

The entry fee includes 18 holes of golf, cart, barbecue lunch, dinner, participation gifts, prizes for featured skill events and firstplace prizes for Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Mixed and Ladies categories.

Sports - Chuck Lambert was looking forward to his trip to Truro, Nova Scotia since becoming a member of Ontario Visually Impaired Golf.

It couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have gone better in the four-day Canadian Blind Match Play Championship July 1 to 4.

When the final putt of the event nestled into the cup, the visually-impaired Renfrew golfer and his teammates were 2013 champions. Their combined margin of victory over the three days of competition was 10 1/2 to 5 1/2.

Each team consisted of 12 people from all across Canada, and were selected in terms of category of sight and handicap, Each province and territory was represented in the event.

Following a practice round on Canada Day, the competition got rolling for real.

It was a hectic but fun week for both golfer and coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an awesome time. Rob and I left Friday (June 28) morning,â&#x20AC;?

Lambert said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got to New Brunswick Friday night, (and) golfed Saturday and Sunday in New Brunswick (at) two different courses.â&#x20AC;?

Upon arrival in Nova Scotia, Lambertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next four days were spent golfing in the match play championship.

But it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end there. He and Baker golfed in Cape Breton the next day, and played 27 holes in Prince Edward Island on Sunday, July 7. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an awesome time out there, some nice golf courses,â&#x20AC;? Lambert added.

Lambert was quick to salute coach and Beachburg resident Robin Baker in victory, and in getting him to Truro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Driving down, the whole bit,â&#x20AC;?

Lambert said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is a big part of it.

He drives the cart, makes sure Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in the right spot,â&#x20AC;? Lambert added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He reads the greens for me, which is a big part of it.â&#x20AC;?

Lambert and Baker have known each other in the neighbourhood of 23 years.

Lambert also thanked sponsors Dragonfly Golf Links and Sante Fe Restaurant for helping make this continuing golf dream possible.

The match play championship was sponsored by the Nova Scotia Lions and played at Truroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mountain Golf Club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an incredible event.

Just amazing. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d definitely go back.

Rob says weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going back next year, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all there is to it.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our main claim to fame is that we started the league. The NHL happened because of Renfrew,â&#x20AC;? asserts Raymond Dunbar sitting in the Renfrew NHANHL Birthplace Museum.

Dunbar is curator of the museum located above the iconic post office in downtown Renfrew. Boasting a vast display of hockey memorabilia and a knowledgeable staff, the museum is the place for any hockey fan.

It includes information on Renfrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former National Hockey Association team the Renfrew Millionaires, how the NHL was born in Renfrew, and content on NHL players and teams.

At the museum, patrons will find out how the NHL was born and how Renfrew was once the epicentre of professional hockey led by the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Briens of Renfrew. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Briens started their own league and at one point owned the Montreal Canadiens, Renfrew Millionaires, Colbalt Silver Kings and the Montreal Wanderers,â&#x20AC;? Dunbar says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All this started in Renfrew.â&#x20AC;?

Open 10 a.m to 4 p.m Friday and Saturday, Dunbar hopes to expand museum hours, as well as the museums outreach throughout the town, offering ball hockey tournaments, merchandise and more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want people to know that Renfrew was the hub of hockey,â&#x20AC;? Dunbar says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Renfrew really is a hockey town.â&#x20AC;?

Over a 100 years after the NHA was founded, the Renfrew NHA-NHL Birthplace Museum is hoping to preserve Renfrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a more historic place downtown,â&#x20AC;? Dunbar says, referring to the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s location.

Fitting the museum would take base there. After all, there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a town with more hockey history than Renfrew.

The grand opening of the museum is this Saturday morning during Fenfrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Festival of Family.

to win 1-up over 18 holes of best ball against Jim Higgins and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world champion Donna Hawkins.

Lambert explained that Higgins is categorized as a B3, which is 10 per cent sight or less, and Hawkins B2.

She sees just shadows.

On day two, Lambert teamed up with British Columbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Judy Ursalan, who also sees shadows, against totally blind Dave Burnett and Allan Bos. Bos is a B3 (10% sight or less), which is the same as Lambert. Lambert and Ursalan claimed a 1-up victory in an alternate shot competition.

Day three was the ultimate round of golf for Lambert.

He faced Ontario champion Glen Babcock of the Toronto area one-onone in singles play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was what I thought would be the tough match,â&#x20AC;? Lambert said.

But the Renfrew golfer played a solid front nine while the champ struggled.

That resulted in a five-hole lead for Lambert. Babcock ran out of holes early in the back nine, and Lambert walked off the course with a 6 and 5

Dagenais, Clouthier bag Get moving for people in your community Kidney Foundation Walk coming top fish in bass event to Renfrew in September Sports - Renegade Bass, the leader in live release bass tournament fishing in Canada, held its second event qualifier of the 2013 tournament season July 6.

A field of 73 Elite teams launched from Oziles Marina in Ottawa, competing for over $17,000 in cash and prizes.

A warm day on the Ottawa River proved challenging for many Renegade Bass competitors as high water combined with stained water made it a difficult day to get the bites needed to bring a good bag of fish to the scales. The team of Robert Jackson and Jamie Walker had it figured out. They brought 21.77 pounds of largemouth to the weigh-in to pocket $5,000.

Renfrew’s Ken Dagenais and Kerry Clouthier of Petawawa enjoyed a good day on the water also.

Their fish haul of 20.23 pounds was good for second place and $2,000.

Dagenais and Clouthier – the 2011 Renegade Bass Series Team of the Year – also took home and extra $1,080 for bagging the largest fish. Their 5.75 pounder outlasted the Jackson-Walker team, whose top fish of the allotted five was 5.74 pounds.

Also earning top-10 status were Valley anglers Scott Lefebvre of Ottawa and Renfrew’s Rob Yantha.

They tipped the scales in fifth place at 18.67 pounds. They hooked a 4.52 pounder as their top catch.

Greg Gervais of Beachburg teamed up with Kevin Collins for an eighth-place finish at 16.97.

Real Fishing Show TV host Bob Izumi and partner Darren Izumi placed ninth with a weight of 16.54 pounds.

In Renegade Bass Tour competition, anglers are also vying for high weights in hopes of qualifying for the Renegade Bass Classic, the Canadian elite championship of bass fishing. The 2013 Renegade Bass

Classic XVIII takes place Sept.

7 and 8 at a yet-to-be-determined location. Anglers could win a fullyrigged Ranger Bass Boat and Evinrude BRP Motor valued at over $50,000 – the sport’s biggest award in Canada.

PRO-AM TOURNAMENT

On Saturday Aug. 10, Renegade Bass will host its 12th Pro-Am tournament on the Ottawa River launching out of Braeside. The Steve Lee Memorial Pro-Am is an event organizers are extremely proud of and serves as a seed for competitive angling hopefuls.

“The Pro Am is an event which was started in 2002 as a way of sharing the love of fishing and our experience with those who would like to learn more about it,” executive member Brett Miller said.

“The entry fee is $200 and provides each angler with a Renegade Pro for seven hours on the water under tournament conditions. During this time they are free to ask any questions they may have whether it be about boat control and the use of electronics, how to read the newer fishfinders, different fishing techniques. The pros are very well rounded anglers and for most the easiest way to learn is hands on like this,” Miller added.

He noted that there is still room for people to registered as an amateur. The field size is capped at 30 Pro-Am teams, so for those interested, Miller encourages you to sign-up as soon as possible.

Among the pros participating are Renfrew’s Steve O’Connor and Clancy Mulvihill of Arnprior. “We are anticipating more local Renegade Bass members to volunteer to fish as a PRO as we get closure to the event,” Miller said.

MPP Yakabuski supports PC plan to fight hunger with local food Editor’s Note: Following is a news release from the office of RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski.

News - (QUEENS PARK) On July 10, the Ontario PC caucus put forward a proposal to amend the Local Food Act to provide a nonrefundable tax credit to

farmers who donate their excess products to food banks.

Modeled on PC MPP Bob Bailey’s private members bill “Fighting Hunger with Local Food Act,” the amendment would grant a non-refundable tax credit worth 25% of the wholesale value to farmers who

choose to donate their excess agricultural products to local food banks.

The bill would also permit unused tax credits to be carried forward up to five years.

“This proposal is a clear win-win” said Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski in pledging his

strong support for the plan. “By offsetting the costs to farmers to collect, process, and deliver their unsold produce to local food banks, this tax credit will help ensure that local Ontario food gets to some of the people who need it the most.”

Each year, while food banks struggle to provide

for those in need, Ontario farmers dispose of or plough back into their fields, more than 25 million pounds of fresh, nutritious food. This food is healthy, tasty and fresh, but is not chosen for sale by grocers because of cosmetic reasons such as size, shape or colour.

Yakabuski noted that at

the same time, over 70 per cent of food bank users do not receive the minimum recommended daily intake of fruits and vegetables according to the Canada Food Guide.

“The PC Caucus understands that Ontario needs a comprehensive Food Act that addresses the challenges that our

food system and farmers are facing,” said Yakabuski. “That’s why we are putting forward amendments such as this tax credit which will help our farmers and ensure that people using Ontario’s food banks will have more access to fresh, high-quality Ontario food.”

This Nicaraguan youngster, held by dentist Janice King, has her very own toothbrush.

Community - If your back hurts, often your whole body hurts. And pretty well the same can be said about your mouth. Sore gums or teeth and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like doing much of anything.

In Canada, with dental insurance a reality for many families, dental aches and pains are usually short-lived, but not in many developing countries. Poverty prevails, and with it a growing need for dental care for all generations. Hence, the need for the type of assistance provided by professional staff who volunteer their time at life-changing clinics in such countries as Nicaragua, where three members of Renfrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Janice King dental practice, spent a week in March.

Kindness in Action, which is based out of Edmonton, has been working with Change for Children for several years to provide dental brigades in Nicaragua, Peru and Uganda.

Change for Children has also overseen the implementation of well-water drilling projects where climate change has made access to drinking water more difficult.

Dr. King and two of her dental hygienists, Lorraine Winters and Megan Neill, are still smiling after returning from Nicaragua, where they participated in five days of clinics and helped deal with more than 1,000 extractions, fillings or teeth cleanings.

The number of dental procedures was mindboggling and the number of patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; smiles almost equally high. Unofficially, the crew did 384 fillings, 527 extractions and 194 cleanings.

Staff divided time in the rural communities Chinandega and Leon, but numbers could have been higher if local administrators hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t insisted a healthcare facility used for one clinic didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to close at 4 p.m. every day.

In fact, the clinics were so busy that one of their two ultrasonic scalers broke down and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be repaired.

About 30 Canadian staff from dental practices across Canada participated in this project that took them into the rural, hot and dry sections of Nicaragua.

King had already volunteered her time and expenses to participate in previous clinics in Jamaica, Guatemala and Peru. It was Neilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-such clinic in a developing country, and Wintersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first.

The Canadian group brought its expertise, but also a substantial number of baseballs, toys, baseball caps, school supplies and clothes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These people have no money,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. King of the Nicaraguans who, for the most part, came willingly for the free dental care in a country where sugar-laced drinks are commonplace and dental care virtually unavailable to the poor.

Understandably, everyone didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t embrace the opportunity to receive dental care. One eight-year-old boy resisted again and again.

In fact, he was carried into the clinic cursing, kicking and screaming, and wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay still enough to be medicated. But by dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end he was so emotionally exhausted, they were able to hold him down and medicate him prior to doing tooth extractions.

Communication was often challenging, but staff used words from provided shortlists of common Spanish words to facilitate interaction with patients and family members â&#x20AC;Ś like the words for spit, water, open a moment, and just a second, please.

The experience in Nicaragua, said Neill, was life-changing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just to do some something so different from what we could possibly do here in Canada,â&#x20AC;? said the dental hygienist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And to see how grateful and accepting they were. I had a great time. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll definitely do it again.â&#x20AC;?

Winters says she was shocked by the condition of many of the Nicaraguansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; teeth, especially â&#x20AC;&#x153;how tenacious the tartar was,â&#x20AC;? but happy to have contributed, especially in the case or many adults who had never had their teeth cleaned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You left there feeling proud of what you had done and that you had made a difference,â&#x20AC;? said Winters.

It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the last such clinic for Dr. King, who says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still moved by the sense of personal satisfaction felt from taking part in the clinics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As good as every trip is, you think it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be good as the last one, and it is somehow,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. King.

Her husband (Dave) and children (Alex, Spencer and Cassie) also made the trip and helped out at the clinics.

Comedy Festival seeks Valley’s funniest person

peter.clark@metroland.com

must show proof of Ottawa Valley Citizenship.

The grand prize winner named ‘Funniest Person in the Valley’ will receive one all-access festival pass to the comedy festival, accommodation during the festival plus $250, and will be invited to perform at the Ottawa show as part of the awards festival programming on Friday, Oct. 4 at Centrepointe Theatre.

For more on the contest, visit online at www. canadiancomedy. ca or in person at PETER CLARK/METROLAND any of the partici- Elly Stuart enjoys her family life and pating venues. her career at Esthetics by Elly.

Business - Thanks to running her own business – Esthetics by Elly – in her own home, Elly Stuart has been able to mix her career and young family beautifully.

“I was a little nervous about it being in my home because I wasn’t sure how people would take to that, but I’ve had a really good response from my clients,” she said of her business, located at 262 Lynn St. Stuart didn’t realize how quickly time flies until she realized, it’s been 11 years already.

“I graduated from Sheridan College in 2003 but I started doing esthetics in the summer of 2002 between my first and second years when I got my first job at a spa,” she said.

“I offer full esthetic services,” Stuart said, which includes manicures, pedicures, massages, waxing, facials and more.

“I now do shellac nails. I don’t do any of the artificial nails,” she added.

“I’m introducing a new hair removal technique, called sugaring.

It’s actually quite old. They used it back in Greece and Egypt ages

ago.”

The sugar paste is applied against the direction of your hair growth and is a lot gentler on skin, as apposed to waxing, Stuart explained.

“No one in Renfrew right now, that I know of, is sugaring. So it’s something new to Renfrew, which is really exciting.”

Stuart took a recent course in Niagara Falls to get the technique down pat, which helps clients in a number of ways.

A lot of her girlfriends have been driving all the way to Ottawa to have sugaring done.

Getting it done right in town at Elly’s now will save them time and gas money, she noted.

Stuart will also be offering a couple of body treatments, sea salt exfoliation and body mud masks.

Stuart said her dealings with clients is by appointment only.

“I don’t have a waiting room or reception desk and someone could walk in. And there are some services that are more private. If someone is having a massage, they wouldn’t want someone (else) to just walk in.”

With two young sons, including one of pre-school age, working at home allows her hours to be more

flexible. That, plus her mother helping her out, also saves on a baby sitter.

Appointments can be made for the evening or on Saturdays. Any day of the week except Sundays, she points out.

“For me, it’s important to spend time with my kids, and still do what I love, continue the career that I enjoy.” Stuart said.

Stuart worked at the Lighthouse for four years, but after maternity leave, decided to be a “mompreneur” as she calls it, and run the business out of her home.

“It seems to be working out quite well.”

Elly has about 25 regular clients plus some others “here and there.”

She is reaching out for more clients, Stuart adds.

“I have a referral program with my clients,” she said. “If someone refers a friend to me, I show my appreciation by giving them a $10 certificate.”

Word of mouth is important, too, Stuart adds.

Helping people get around Vendors at the Renfrew Farmers Market held a strawberry social Saturday morning July 6 at the fairgrounds with free will proceeds going to the Sunshine Coach. McGregor’s Produce donated the berries. Holding strawberries and cream beside a Sunshine Coach van, from left are Lucie Letourneau, Beth Miller, Agnes Walker and Ann McGregor, all venders of the Farmers Market. No Frills also made a contribution to the cause while Old Time Country volunteered their time and kept market goers entertained with music throughout the morning.

Gift of Life service honoured Renfrew Masonic Lodge 122 was the recipient of a Volunteer Services Award from Canadian Donor Services for 10 years of support. The award was presented by regional supervisor of volunteer resources Claude Laperriere at the blood donor clinic of July 10. It was held at the Royal Canadian Legion Renfrew Branch 148 hall. From left are Masons George Pacey, Keith Richard, Laperriere and Mason Bob Tytler.

Aymar at Coco Jarry’s

It was a family affair with Amanda, Marg and Kent Tubman working the grill for the Renfrew Rotary Club Saturday morning July 6. Members of the Rotary Club were cooking up their tasty bacon-on-the-bun early this year. They were stationed at their familiar spot at the Renfrew Fairgrounds. The Rotarians are planning on opening up a couple of more times during the Farmers Market season. They are working on having a car wash there as well. The club is fundraising for upgrades to their building.

Jay Aymar and his band perform at Coco Jarry’s on Thursday, July 18 at 9 p.m.

This stop is part of a 120-show Canadian tour to promote his latest CD, Overtime, heralded by New Canadian Music as “a masterwork.”

The definitive folk magazine in Canada, Penguin Eggs has high praise for Aymar.

“There is no quibble about raising him to the higher rungs on the steep

ladder of Canadian singer/ songwriters, not just his contemporaries but of all time.

“This is pure Canadiana, delving onto the breadth and diversity of this nation, its history and foibles and flaws.

“There are love songs and protest songs, environmental advocacy and humour,” Penguin Eggs added.

This will be Aymar’s third return to Renfrew this year.

Five-year-old Mason Rowan shows off his fourth-place catch at the Douglas Lions Kids Fishing Derby Sunday on the Bonnechere River. Thirty-three children registered for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event. A 50/50 draw was held and the $40 prize was won by Chris Gallagher.

The second-place prize of a miniature Kyoti tractor from Bromley Farm Supply went to Donna Barr. Aside from the ever-popular childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fishing derby, the participants also enjoyed a barbecue and beverages, and were able to cool down with a splash in the refreshing Bonnechere River.

After completing all the stations on the passports, participants are receiving a seal of approval and are getting a chance to sign their names on the McDougall Mill Museum Walk of Fame. The completion of a passport awards the participant with free admission to the museum on a return visit. After completion of the

Summer busy time at Senior Home Support Jennifer Lane, Program Support Assistant Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support

Community - Summer has arrived in full force with rain, wind and sunshine, but no matter what the weather holds for us the rest of the summer, we just want everyone to have an enjoyable, safe summer with family and friends.

We would like to say a big hello to Brianna Yolkowskie who is our summer student for six weeks. Brianna will help you out with any question you may have or will pass you along to the appropriate person. She will also be conducting a volunteer survey to help us ensure our services are the best they can be.

On June 4 the Renfrew Tearoom held a Customer Appreciation Breakfast and Lunch with all proceeds going to Seniors’ Home Support. People are still talking about how tasty the stuffed apple French toast was, as well as the delicious fancy sandwiches and squares. We would like to thank Susan and Janice for everything they do for us to help raise money to keep our programs running.

On June 14 we held a barbecue to celebrate Seniors Month. We would like to thank the following for their donations: Renfrew Tearoom for the cookies, Quail Creek for the coleslaw and M&M Meats for the tent and barbecue, as well as all the volunteers who helped out during the day. Also thank you to everyone who supported us by taking part.

On Saturday, July 20, look for our booth on main street during Festival of Family, where we will be selling lemonade and cookies, as well as 50/50 tickets that will be drawn at the end of the day. Come join in the festivities and stop by our booth – we would love to visit with you!

We would like to also say thank you to Valerie and Shawn Popkie of Pine Lodge Resort as they held a marathon to raise money to purchase an AED. They raised enough and had $335 left over which they so kindly donated to Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support. Support like this is truly appreciated and it is through individuals such as them that we are able to provide programs and services that allow seniors and adults with disabilities to age well in their own home and in their own communities.

Valerie Popkie of Pine Lodge Resort presents a cheque to home support program support assistant Jennifer Lane.

John Lane and Friends help out at a barbecue in support of Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support.

NATURE

Connected to your community

Ruby-throated hummingbirds having a difficult year We have received a number of calls, emails and letters concerning our request for information about reduced numbers of ruby-throated hummingbirds. The following emails and letters tell the story.

Scene from the Basil Pessin sent us the following Hawk’s Eye email.

I live near the Bonnechere Caves near Douglas. I have two hummingbird feeders, one at my house and now the same size, but the young ones one at the end of my lane 800 feet distinguishable by their dependence (250m) from my house. I have not on the parent for food. They are very seen a single hummingbird in the past couple of days and only two in the past few weeks. We’ve always had many coming around but not this year. Have you an explanation?

Thanks in advance. Basil Pessin Regina and Ray Puhalski sent us this note from Horton Township.

“The hummingbirds have almost all disappeared for over a month now.

I saw one male sitting on our hay rake last night, but I don’t see any going to the feeders. I have not seen any flying around either. Normally with the warm weather, there would be many battles for the two feeders on our front porch. I hope that the hummingbirds are not going the way of the honey bees.”

Barry and Cindy Bennett on the SCOTT’S SHOE STORE Garden Road have only one hum263 Raglan St. S., Renfrew mer coming to their feeder. In other 20%-50% off years they have had up to five feedEVERYTHING SUMMER ing. They were also talking to friends Sale Starts Thurs. July 4th at Jeffrey`s Lake and they too noted that there were very few hummers at P: 613-432-2904 www.scottsshoes.ca their feeders.

We also had a letter from people living near Golden Lake and they have noted a significant reduction in the number of hummingbirds visiting their two feeders. They are disapSave up to 50% off Ladies pointed that there is only one or two Spring/Summer Fashions presently coming to feed and they come just now and again.

There are several possibilities as to why the hummers are not at our feeders. We feel that one of the main reasons was the cold damp conditions they encountered on their way north Call 613-432-7015 in May. Hummingbirds require a great deal of liquid energy to make the trip and cold wet conditions use up energy reserves which can slow them down or even kill them. Another reason could Country Home & Cottage be the number of tornadoes with very Décor & Furnishings strong winds they encountered during www.asenseofcountry.com migration. A difficult winter in Mexico may have added to their distress as well.

We would like to thank all those that took the time to send information about the hummers. All we can do now is keep putting out food for those Call 613-432-7015 that remain and hope more will come.

Or we can say like some hockey teams do, “Just wait until next year.”

JIM FERGUSON

loud and when they’re up in the tree tops calling for attention and when they’re on the ground foraging, they hop around behind the parent who seems to be trying to demonstrate how to pick up food in the shrubs and grass. We also have three blue herons that fish each morning along our shore, often alighting on the dock, which invariably starts a territorial war. Great entertainment!

SOME LOOK-ALIKES

Immature birds have the plumage resembling that of their mother.

There have been immature rosebreasted grosbeaks coming to our feeders for sunflower seeds.

They young males look like their mother, brown and tan but have a pale red patch under their chin and on the front edge of the wing.

This plumage will remain until next spring when they will molt and gain their adult male plumage.

Immature cardinals look like their

mother but have a black bill rather than a red one.

Immature cedar waxwings lack the black mask and chin patch of the adults.

Immature birds are always begging their parents for food. Watch for them.

Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, RR 5, Renfrew, Ont., K7V 3Z8; 613-4322738 or email jamesh(AT) nrtco.net

New health group formed Earn Extra Money!

Lanark Renfrew Health and Community Services

Community - The Whitewater Bromley Community Health Centre Advisory Board has joined forces with the Board of Lanark Health and Community Services to form Lanark Renfrew Health & Community Services.

Noreene Adam, a member of the Whitewater Bromley Community Health Centre Advisory Board, and now a newly-elected member on the Lanark Renfrew Health & Community Services Board, observes that “While the name is new, the partnership is not. Since the year 2000, our two Boards have worked closely together to ensure the rural residents of Whitewater region have access to excellent primary health care services through the Whitewater Bromley Community Health Centre. With this integration, the primary health care programs, services and staff, that members of our community rely upon, will remain the same”.

This announcement culminates a year-long transition process that started with a day-long planning session in March 2012 which brought together the Lanark Health and Community Services Board and the Whitewater Bromley Community Health Centre Advisory Board, community representatives and senior staff.

The planning session laid the groundwork to complete a governance integration between the two Boards.

During the planning day, a full consensus emerged and a transition team (made up of directors from both boards and senior management) was tasked with developing a new governance structure and implementation strategy to come into effect June 2013.

The June 18 annual general meeting of Lanark Health and Community Services marked our transition to the newly named “Lanark Renfrew Health & Community Services” (LRHCS).

Ann Munroe, chair of the Transition Team

Committee and now past-chair of Lanark Health and Community Services, noted that “members of the Whitewater Bromley CHC Advisory Board have worked tirelessly over the years in order to secure primary health care services and health promotion programs for the rural residents in Beachburg, Cobden and surrounding communities. As LRHCS continues this work, we seek to ensure all rural residents from the communities we serve are able to achieve and maintain their best possible health and social well-being.”

Coinciding with this announcement, and to highlight the benefits of this integration, John Jordan, executive director of Lanark Renfrew Health & Community Services is pleased to report that, “After pursuing many options for the Cobden site of the Whitewater Bromley CHC (that have included partnering with other agencies, entering into private/public agreements, and investigating infrastructure funding for a new building), the board of LRHCS has made the decision to move forward with an extensive renovation/repair of the Cobden facility that will meet the community’s current needs and position us to pursue a capital planning process to help meet future needs.”

Tenders for the renovation closed on June 26 and the contract was awarded to Freecon Construction.

When completed in the fall of 2013, the Cobden site will be used for health promotion programs, labs, chronic disease prevention and management and other potential services.

The building will also be available to our community partners and other non-profit organizations for the delivery of programs and services to the community.

For more information, please call John Jordan at 613-259-2182 or Bonny Johnson at 613582-3885 or visit the website of Lanark Renfrew Health & Community Services at www. lrhcs.ca

Lynne peacefully passed away at home surrounded by her family. Through her faith and strength she fought to have more time with her loved ones. Her will to live and devotion to her family is the legacy she leaves behind. She will be missed but her love will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. Who she was, made a difference. A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated at St. Pius V Roman Catholic Church in Osceola. Special thanks to Rev. McNamara, Rev. Chabot and Stephen Helferty for the inspirational mass.

Thank you to the honorary paul bearers and Heubner funeral home. We wish to extend our gratitude to L.J. and Joan Helferty and family and Diana Helferty for the exceptional music. A big thank you to the St. Pius/Sacred Heart CWL for the delicious luncheon. We would like to thank everyone for their true expression of love and friendship during this difďŹ cult journey.
