Water quality testing continues at former Renfrew beach Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Renfrew town councillor Gail Cole says the tourism committee is trying to get an

update on the former Bonnechere beach on Ready Avenue.

“We can, once and for all, determine why it’s closed, if it’s closed forever, and wheth-

er there’s any possibility of it ever opening,’ Coun. Cole said at council’s July 14 regular meeting.

The Renfrew County and District Health Unit will per-

form water tests over a period of time, and report the test results each month.

The testing will continue for the rest of 2014 and the findings gathered will be used

to decide how to proceed in 2015, Coun. Cole added.

Mayor Bill Ringrose noted that the beach’s closing all these years has been for safety reasons.

“I guess it’s appropriate that, from time to time, we should look at it again. It’s probably appropriate that we should,” Mayor Ringrose said.

Dewar reacts to Gallant’s ‘anti-Canadian’ comment Create good jobs, not conspiracy theories: NDP MP Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

Smiling Irish Eyes Ready to welcome the expected 300 or more to the Douglas St. Paddy’s in July are, from left, Kerri-Lynn Fulcher and Tricia McIntyre. They are all smiles because everyone is Irish during the July St. Paddy’s Day.

A sister act all the way from Renfrew – Hannah, Delaney and Caroline Holley – performs at the celebration of the Emerald Isle.

News – Canada’s nuclear energy industry is in danger if the “anti-Canadian” NDP party wins power, said Cheryl Gallant.

The Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP made the comments in a press release detailing a recent tour of the nuclear power plant in her riding.

“While the Canadian energy industry is safe with a Conservative government, I am very concerned about our future now that anti-Canadian energy critics control the official opposition in Ottawa,” Gallant said in the release from her office.

“Too many jobs are at stake both here locally and across the country to allow that imbalance to continue.”

The gaffe-prone Gallant, who toured the Chalk River Laboratories of AECL with fellow Conservatives Mike Wallace and Erin O’Toole in late June, didn’t elaborate on the assertion or on her party’s record of keeping jobs safe in Renfrew County.

But an NDP MP from Ottawa said Gallant’s hyperbole and politics of division are well known on the hill. As are her fits of paranoia.

“She’s just making stuff up again,” said Paul Dewar. “She lets her beliefs get way ahead of the facts. She gets caught up in these conspiracy theories that are no help to her constituents.”

He points to her lone opposition to the heritage river designation for the Ottawa River.

The Ottawa would have it now were not her

belief that it would inexplicably affect waterfront property rights, says Dewar.

However, Dewar is much more concerned about research jobs that could be slashed as AECL shifts next year from governmentowned but contractor-operated under the Conservative government. It is expected that the 2,850 employees will lose their pension plan eligibility, other public service benefits, and ability to contribute to local businesses if incomes shrink.

“These are really good paying jobs. And with cutbacks on the (Petawawa) base, what are they doing to create opportunities in Renfrew County?” Dewar said. “I know they are giving out corporate tax cuts, but with no obligation to create jobs.”

His first concern with AECL moving to private hands is for safety standards to take a backseat to short-term profits.

Then there are the millions of dollars Canadians have put toward Atomic Energy of Canada over the decades, making it a powerhouse that helped pioneer the global nuclear industry.

Then the transition to a yet-to-be-named contractor that stands to make, in Dewar’s estimation, a lot of money.

But it is the good-jobs threat in Renfrew County – Dewar’s grandparents are from Sand Point and Douglas, where he spent summers growing up – that has him most concerned.

“People are hurting real bad in Renfrew (County) and a jobs plan would be nice,” he said.

“I think most people would agree that things have not been growing in the Valley. That’s why we need something more positive than conspiracy theories. We need to invest in the greater good.”

Blues and ribs help to build a stronger economy Sing a song of success Lucy Hass lucy.hass@metroland.com

News - Calabogie Peaks is building a reputation for being more than a world-class four-season resort and premier ski facility. It is making its mark in the music world, as well.

A recent successful Countryfest will be followed up Aug. 15 to 17 by the fourth annual Class Axe Guitars Calabogie Blues and Ribsfest at Calabogie Peaks.

Peaks’ owner Paul Murphy is proud of his resort’s role in the growing festival which this year features such world-class blues performers as David Wilcox and Jimmie Vaughan.

Other bands hitting the stage this year are The 24th Street Wailers, Anthony Gomes, Wicked Grin, Raoul and the Big Time, Charlie A’Court, the Paul Deslaurier Band, Jerome Godboo, Angel Forrest, Dawn Tyler Watson and Ben Racine Band and the Kelly Richey Band.

You can read more about the bands at www.calabogieblues.com Murphy says musicians are realizing the value of these festivals as ways to promote their material, and is hopeful the appearance of Renfrew resident Rich Martell at the recent Countryfest will help to advance his career.

It takes a lot of people to make a festival work, like Class Axe Guitars of Kemptville, which Murphy de-

scribes as a “tremendous long-term sponsor.�

The 2014 blues and ribsfest will have new features, fireworks, and camping in a picturesque, natural amphitheatre setting on the ski hill.

The first year 5,000 people attended the blues festival and now well over 20,000 are expected to attend. “Calabogie has developed a bit of a music brand,� says Murphy, noting the blues festival in particular has “really caught its stride.�

The festivals, says Murphy, features music workshops, vendors and attracts all kinds of people to the venue. And the camping allows patrons to enjoy themselves without the hassle of transportation to and from, creating a community of sorts, with

singing and playing music well into the night beyond the actual festival.

New this year is a ‘rib valet’ service whereby people who want to get ribs only and place an order and pick them up at the festival site.

The Peaks will welcome 3,000 guests on a busy ski weekend, says Murphy.

The festivals meanwhile offer three distinct attractions: music, food from four ribbers competing for top honours, and a unique weekend camping experience. Calabogie Peaks is one of the few music festivals, says Mur-

phy, that offers that “beautiful mix� of features.

The family-oriented festival also has a designated kids zone offering about 17 different games to keep the young one entertained.

Murphy also had high praise for the corps of more than 200 volunteers who pitch in to make the event a success.

He said the event requires a significant workforce to run smoothly and volunteers receive nice perks like free admission, a t-shirt, meals and free camping.

Abby Stewart, performs Sunday afternoon at the festival.

Her website says, “Abby may be only 13, but she has accomplished so much in such a short period.�

Countryfest at Calabogie Peaks was another huge success. Next month music fans return to the Peaks for the fourth anual Class Axe Gutars Blues and Ribsfest.

Easton puts name up for councillor in Greater Madawaska Twp. Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

J.R. EASTON

News - After several years of watching from afar, Calabogieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s J.R. Easton is looking at getting back into municipal politics.

A veteran of 17 years before amalgamation, three weeks ago Easton filed his nomination papers for the October 2014 election in Greater Madawaska. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been reeve, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m been councillor, everything,â&#x20AC;? Easton said.

He considered running for mayor, but instead, opted for

council in Ward 1.

Easton is concerned about the taxes and the debt load. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re left with a mess to have to clean up. I know our roads are terrible.

They need brushing. Where have they been for all these years? Nothing has been done.â&#x20AC;?

Easton agrees with the Raise the Roof project but wants everyone to get on board and get it done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taking too long to do it.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to quit squabbling and get it done,â&#x20AC;? he says.

He says Griffith is doing fine, but in the Calabogie end

of the township, people are leaving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to do something, whether they can create some way of bringing the people in, show them that you are interested in them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The feeling I get from all my people that I talk to is, why should we go to Calabogie?â&#x20AC;? Easton says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If somebody comes along and wants to put a shopping mall in, or something like that, why arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they given the green light, like the grocery

store that was supposed to go up a few years ago?â&#x20AC;?

Easton says the township office should be open for any taxpayer to walk in off the street and ask a question.

They should be entitled to an answer, Easton adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every taxpayer is a stakeholder,â&#x20AC;? he adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Calabogie is not a retirement home. I totally disagree with that so bad it just infuriates me,â&#x20AC;? Easton stresses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We live as a tourist town.

People who come there and

think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a retirement community, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay more than three years.â&#x20AC;?

With proper leadership, the township can be put in its proper form. It may take a few years, but it can be done, Easton adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I believe,â&#x20AC;? said Easton.

I believe in helping the people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What do you think? Do you smell what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m cookinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;?â&#x20AC;?

Easton asks of the voters of Greater Madawaska.

Kelly second to join A-B mayoral race steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Jack Kelly is looking for a decidedly different result in his second Admaston-Bromley mayoral race.

Kelly, 56, is the second to enter the race. He filed July 18, while current councillor Michael Donohue filed his mayoral nomination papers June 6.

Kelly has a thick resume of municipal councillor experience. His 19 years as a councillor began in the former Admaston Township and continued through amalgamation of Admaston and Bromley township into 2010. That year he finished a distant second to incumbent and vet-

eran Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the blood, and I feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for change. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for new faces on council,â&#x20AC;? said Kelly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe there are a lot of issues that need to be addressed,â&#x20AC;? said Kelly, indicating that council could do more thinking â&#x20AC;&#x153;outside the box,â&#x20AC;? be less political and take a farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s common-sense mentality to find solutions to some issues.

If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a third mayoral candidate, it could be Briscoe. The mayor has indicated she wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t decide if sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll seek re-election until around the Renfrew Fair in early September. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to be easy to beat her if she runs again, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to give people a choice,â&#x20AC;? said Kelly.

News - Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe and council requested the presence of the Ministry of Natural Resources at last Thursday’s Admaston-Bromley council meeting to address concerns with individuals doing Forest Resources Inventory (FRI) on managed forests on private lands without permission from the landowner.

FRI is a large-scale survey of forested land across the province that allows for the general characterization of Ontario’s forests in terms of species, forest conditions and regeneration.

MNR and Forestry Pembroke district manager Rick Watchorn, and Ontario Woodlot Association representative Tony Bull addressed council.

Mayor Briscoe said there were one or two instances where a survey was done without the landowner’s permission, including one reported in Admaston-Bromley.

“I felt there was an obligation to make sure that MNR and the woodlot folks come and explain the need for the study, and that it was contracted out to a company from Hearst,” the mayor said. She added that the Hearst company had been rather negligent in terms of how it notified the public in advance.

“In one or two cases, they actually didn’t get permission from the landowner as they had committed to do,” Mayor Briscoe added. “That has now been corrected.”

The contractor has been given clear direction, Watchorn said. “There is 100 per cent cer-

tainty on where they are, whose land they’re on, and that they have permission to be there.”

Woodlot owners will benefit greatly from this study, Mayor Briscoe said.

They’ll get a notion as to what kind of ground they have, what kind of trees they have, the height of their trees, the height of the neighbourhood trees, and how are they ready for the marketplace, Mayor Briscoe said.

“We’ve gotten the record absolutely straight, and it’s healthy that we all understand now,” the mayor added. “At the end of the day, we are looking at economic development.”

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

While they hope it never comes to pass, the emergency management committee reported that the Stone Road municipal building is ready, if required, for ham radio operators (Amateur Radio Emergency Service) in the case of an emergency. The signal was coming through loud and clear.

A volunteer list will be compiled in the case of an emergency, deputy clerk treasurer Sean Crozier noted. Armbands, similar to those used at the Renfrew Fair, with the Admaston-Bromley name, would be made for volunteers. “It would be something in the event of an emergency being declared and a requirement of volunteers to be out in the community doing a variety of things,” Coun. Michael Donohue said. “When an emergency is declared and somebody is recognized as a volunteer, they are covered under workplace safety,” Coun. Donohue added.

Citizen self-reporting encouraged by the OPP News - The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has made another move aimed to improve efficiency, this time by encouraging self-reporting of some incidents.

The OPP unveiled last week a new online reporting system that will enable the public to report specific occurrences from a computer.

Citizen self-reporting will offer the public another way to report select incidents that are not an emergency, by completing a report online at their convenience, an OPP release explains.

The OPP is one of several R0062712289

Permission needed to survey land

Ontario police services who have adopted an Internetbased crime reporting system where people can report certain crimes such as lost property, theft from vehicles, and property damage, without an officer having to be dispatched.

Only occurrences that do not involve an injury, a suspect or evidence are applicable.

An officer will attend if requested by the complainant.

The OPP expects that citizen self-reporting will be beneficial to both the public and the police.

It will provide a convenient alternative to the citizens of Ontario, while allowing frontline officers to focus their efforts on other enforcement and crime prevention strategies within our communities.

By providing people with another option for reporting crimes, the OPP is hopeful that more incidents will be reported, resulting in the collection of information to develop future crime prevention initiatives.

To access the system, go to opp.ca. The OPP can be contacted toll-free anytime at 1888-310-1122.

EDITORIAL

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t punish refugees with cuts Opinion - On July 4, the Federal Court struck down as unconstitutional the 2012 decision to deny all but essential, basic health care funding to refugees through the Interim Federal Health Program.

According to defence counsel, refugees were unable to get muchneeded insulin, serious eye diseases were unable to be treated, and expectant mothers were having troubles finding obstetricians to help them through their pregnancies.

There was little, if any, money saved from this programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cancellation. In fact, for some of these refugee claimants, if they ever get their citizenship, their long-term health problems could now be more serious, perhaps permanent, and could result in higher health care costs for all Canadians.

Even if the system is being abused, it is not being abused by all. But all are being punished anyway.

In announcing the end of the program in 2012, a spokesman for then-Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canadians have been clear that they do not want illegal immigrants and bogus refugee claimants receiving gold-plated

health care benefits that are better than those Canadian taxpayers are receiving.â&#x20AC;?

There are more than a few problems with what Kenneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wingman said two years ago, apart from demonizing the other. If they are indeed illegal immigrants, why not deport them, and leave the real refugees be? Also, if the refugee is â&#x20AC;&#x153;bogus,â&#x20AC;? again, there are tools at your disposal to send them packing. Immigration never has a hard time finding and deporting hardworking, otherwise law-abiding families whose only crime was to jump the cue and live here illegally.

Deal with those who are abusing it, not those who need it.

The 2012 decision makes rejected refugee claimants eligible for care only when they pose a threat to public health. This presents a risk to the Canadian public because they are at a risk of contamination and spreading disease around. And if they are cagey about seeing a doctor, wondering who will pick up the tab, who makes the determination if they pose a risk?

This decision, there is no reason for it, while far more important issues lie crying for attention.

One of the frustrating parts of this scandal, is the latent racism at play here. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not from here, so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deserve to be treated like us, is one line of thinking. The other is that these people are landing at the airport, and making a bee-line for the welfare office and then a quick hopr over to the hospital, to suck the system dry.

This urban legend is unhealthy and not based in fact. Granny being brought in from India, or Ireland, or China, has to wait as much as a decade before she can access the Canadian health care system for free. In the meantime, her family must also pick up any welfare costs. There is a very real cost for immigrant families who sponsor their relatives over here. True, the refugee system is different. There are bad apples in the bunch.

The Federal Court ruling was unusually direct in its summation.

Justice Anne Mactavish wrote that the cuts constituted â&#x20AC;&#x153;cruel and unusualâ&#x20AC;? treatment.

Politics being what it is, if it squanders its resources on pettiness now, how will it handle a real crisis, not a made-up one, in the future?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

OďŹ&#x20AC;-Oil Campaign: Thinking of switching? Oil is the way to stay heat.ca and www.americanenergycoalition.com The notion that removing oil furnaces for replacement with propane furnaces, as a safer more affordable alternative, is misguided.

Like most people, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find upgrades and whole-home energy conservation are the reliable ways to save money and the environment.

Best regards,

Opinion - When I read the article in the July 10, 2014 edition of the Renfrew Mercury, I am reminded of the Off Oil Campaign of the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s.

Similarities exist such as the inaccurate information about the true energy efficiency of oil heating systems and of course the propaganda.

As many readers will remember, during the off oil campaign in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s, many oil furnaces were removed and replaced with electric furnaces. A government grant helped to

facilitate many of these changeovers.

The next stage of this program happened during the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s when much of that equipment was removed and replaced with new mid-efficient oil furnaces and oil fired hot water heaters. These oil burners were producing AFUE up to 85 per cent.

There werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any government grants to facilitate these changeovers but oil prices at the time made them very affordable.

We are no longer dealing with â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s oil prices, but we have oil heat-

ing equipment providing AFUE up to 95.8 per cent.

Our oil tanks come with a 30-year warranty and the oil industry infrastructure can guarantee uninterrupted supply and peace of mind.

We are ready willing and able to provide you with clean, efficient and affordable oil heat.

Energy costs will continue to fluctuate since they are driven by the stock market, speculators and global demand.

Though other fuel providers may

use the mediaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus on oil prices to entice you to switch, be a smart consumer and get all the facts. Upgrading or replacing your oil heat system could well be the most efficient and affordable decision you make.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to separate fact from fiction so you can understand whether it really makes sense to switch fuels, economic sense and comfort sense.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Information available to public Hopes MP will also advocate To the editor:

disclosed at town hall meetings and many council meetings, all of which are open to the public.

To suggest that it will be a priority to get the CAO to advise is nothing short of fear mongering. Do comments like this really help Greater Madawaska grow as a progressive township that people and businesses want to be part of?

While I agree that the roads mentioned in the article need attention in the future, I would suggest that Mr. Pratt look at the 10-year capital repair and replacement plan before he judges which roads are the top priority and deserve to be highlighted in the article.

Present and future councils must always be mindful that there are three wards in the township, and that roads in the ward a council member resides in do not top the list for capital expenditure unless the analysis of needs demonstrate the need and the time line for reconstruction or replacement.

To depend on personal hunches to decide otherwise could be seen to be quite self-serving.

Lastly, the mention of private roads again requires some further thought by Mr. Pratt.

It is my understanding that if the township gets involved in repair of a private road then it assumes liability by default, and also if the township has liability does the road have

to be brought up to a township standard. Greater Madawaska, according to a private roads report, has 121 kms of private roads. Should the public works department, which now is responsible for of 228 kms of roads, be expanded to handle the additional 121 kms of private roads? If you fix one should you fix them all, and if not who will play God to decide which ones we fix. Can the tax payers of the township afford the increased taxes that this will necessitate?

Repair of private roads has been analyzed by a private roads committee, chaired by a constituent who lives on a private road, and councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision, which mirrored the legal opinion received, was that we should not get involved.

Perhaps the report produced by this committee should be analyzed before the idea is raised again to only create possibly unachievable hopes for some and avoidable fears and anxiety for other ratepayers.

I am ever hopeful that as a candidate for mayor Mr. Pratt has something more substantive to offer than this article suggests.

Brian Hunt Resident and Councillor of Greater Madawaska

Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: Councillor Hunt has not filed for re-election in the October municipal election.

Local businesses know and understand the needs of the people in their community.

for fairness in equalization To the editor:

Opinion - Re: Gallant seeks investigation Ontario Smart Meters, Mercury July 17, 2014).

I see our federal MP is calling for an investigation into the Province of Ontario Smart Meter operation.

Some 6,961 complaints, according to the press release, have been registered for all of

Ontario to the Ombudsman of Ontario.

Meanwhile, the federal Parliamentary Budget Officer, Jean-Denis Frechette, reports that the federal government has â&#x20AC;&#x153;shortchanged Ontario under the current system of equalization paymentsâ&#x20AC;? by $1.2 billion.( CP, June 18, 2014).

R0012799452

Opinion - I found the article about Mr. Prattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s article in the July 10 Renfrew Mercury quite disturbing, both as a councillor who strives for transparency and as a ratepayer who wonders what the future holds.

Please bear in mind that I have no political ambition to be mayor, but wish to voice my concerns, as staff, who are unable to offer an opinion in a public venue and council deserve more respect than the comments in this article.

Mr. Pratt said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ratepayers need to know where we stand, the full cost of the municipal building, and the payment schedule for future years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As well they need to know the amount of the loan from Greater Madawaska for the raising the roof of the rink.â&#x20AC;?

If, as Mr. Pratt suggests, â&#x20AC;&#x153;four years ... has prepared me to seek the office for Mayorâ&#x20AC;?

I am surprised that his words seemingly imply this information is confidential or hidden in any way.

Surely an experienced council member, and potential mayor would know the referenced information is public information and available to any constituent upon request.

The rink project was discussed in detail at a public meeting that Mr. Pratt attended and participated in.

Also, all of the financial information he suggests that he is going to request, has been

I only hope that our federal member, on behalf of our Province of Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population of well over 13 million, including our riding of approximately 10,000, will be as diligent in advocating and pursuing a solution to correct this oversight.

PPS includes significant woodland and valleyland policies in Whitewater and other parts of Renfrew County that did not apply under the 2005 PPS. Development is not permitted within significant woodlands or valleylands unless it has been demonstrated there will be no negative impacts on the natural features or their ecological functions…studies will likely be required to justify development once these PPS policies become incorporated into the County Official Plan. The PPS places significant restrictions on the ability to develop land in rural Ontario.” How can council ignore this?

Opinion - Today, sitting as an observer at our local council meeting in Whitewater Township, I watched, much to my surprise again, where our council supported the recommendation of the township planner to approve the Official Plan Amendment #11.

Prior to this meeting, I requested they hold a public meeting because of modifications they made to the OPA#11.

These modifications came as a result of the recently released Provincial Policy Statement. This PPS, as quoted by the township planner, severely impacts Whitewater Township.

Why would our council choose to have important meetings such as these Official Plan changes during the daytime when most residents cannot attend?

Why is this council hiding the truth from the public as to what this new PPS means and how it will affect all residents in this township?

All of this council, except for one member, supported this Official Plan amendment.

As quoted from the township planner in an email, “Almost all of Whitewater Region is located within Lake Simcoe-Rideau Ecoregion 6E (Ecological Land Classification Primer for Central & Southern Ontario). The 2014

Valley Forest in the vicinity of Deux Rivieres, Pembroke, Arnprior, Petawawa, Calabogie, Renfrew, Wilno, ley consists of woodlands Griffith, Foymount and Eganville.

As well, the Ministry of Northern and valleylands…in other words, “natural heritage”. Development of Mines is seeking One councillor had concerns about this, to not support it. What does that say v about the rest of them? In my opinion, this means any property that has water or streams will be severely impacted by regulation (i.e. septic tanks/wells, etc.) to “demonstrate no negative impacts on the natural features or ecological functions” as mentioned above.

This is a huge concern that council should also be concerned about, but it appears they don’t because Sale on from Friday July 25th “they have been working until Thursday July 31st, 2014 on this Official Plan for a long time.”

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, July 24, 2014 11

OPINION

Connected to your community

Legislation Continued from page 11

If allowed, we will be severely impacted by all of the above.

Anyone applying for land severances will be subject to costly government studies before approval (if approved); or those applying for building permits for additions or expansions will be subjected to costly studies and/or strict regulations. This stems from local government implementing the United Nations document of Agenda 21, as directed from the Province. Agenda 21 proposes that rural landowners be forced to move to â&#x20AC;&#x153;human settlements in urban areasâ&#x20AC;? and shut down rural living.

The province supports this by creating these new Acts (i.e., Endangered Species Act, the Green Energy Act, etc.) Living in the urban areas means they control your water, your food and you. They cannot control those who are not dependent on water or food, but they can and do control essential services (i.e., hydro and gas). In other words, hit us hard in the pocket books so that living in the rural area will be unaffordable.

What concerned me the most was the statement from the mayor when he remarked that when they were working on the Official Plan, the Provincial Policy Statement was created from a minority Liberal government â&#x20AC;Ś now it is a majority government and there is nothing they can do. He is so wrong!

Unfortunately, nobody is reading the legislation. If they read it, they would know that the Provincial Policy Statement is only a guideline to be implemented under the Planning Actâ&#x20AC;Śit is not legislation.

The Planning Act (which is legislation) was created in 1946 and was introduced to guide municipal development. It would seem the Province creates regulations to be enforced by our municipalities because they know nobody is reading the legislation.The legislation was created to protect our rights.

Legally, they do not have the right to enforce these bylaws, regulations, whatever, on our private properties without our consent or entering into an agreement with them. It states very clearly both in the Planning Act and the Municipal Act that the land must be acquired to make it a public asset, which would then make it a matter of provincial interest. Obviously, our planners (paid consultants to our local councils) are not familiar with the Municipal Act and/or the Planning Act of Ontario. Our councils are required to work under the authority of both of these Acts.

All this being dumped onto us by the province, the county, the municipalities is simply abuse of authority in the form of a dictatorship. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about control, and it can be stopped. Those sitting on councilâ&#x20AC;Ś please read the legislation. Your job is to represent the people, not the province.

Valley Animal Rescue program clarified To the editor:

Opinion - Valley Animal Rescue would like everyone to know that while we cannot, at this time, work with the Renfrew pound, we will continue to rescue abandoned animals from SPCAs, owner surrenders, local pounds that support privacy agreements and other organizations such as those fighting to stop the horror of puppy mills in Quebec.

We believe that as collectors of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal information we have a duty and a responsibility to ensure the security of that information; especially in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s climate of privacy concerns.

When we requested an agreement with the Town of Renfrew last year, to protect the privacy of the information we collected, and the assurance that it would only be shared with those legally required to have access (Ministry of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs), we were turned down. We will again offer to work with the Town to try and develop a process that will allow for this necessary security and still satisfy the requirements of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs.

The best way to move forward, and improve the outcome for our abandoned animals, is to work towards making changes in the Animals for Research Act, the Pound Act and the practice of Pound Seizure. Most provinces have already abolished the practice of Pound Seizure so that abandoned pets are not sold for animal research.

As a rescue, our priority truly is the welfare of the animal and we can and do, provide a far better outcome and life for abandoned animals than a research facility.

Also, as a registered charity that is accountable to the CRA and the public, we keep accurate and permanent records, provide a high level of medical care, screen foster and adoptive homes, and we ensure all animals are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.

When pounds adopt out to anyone willing to provide a name and address there is no such guarantee that any of this will be done. In fact, there is no guarantee that the animal will not be sold as soon as the new owner passes through the pound door. There is no guarantee the animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medical needs will be addressed, or that it will be spayed or neutered, it is not traceable after leaving the pound.

For these reasons we would like to see animals released to rescue organizations that truly have the animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best interests at heart and are capable of providing a high quality of care. We will provide more information on how people can help as we begin the process of working towards making these changes. For now, if you want to see change, you must speak up.

A wonderful art event

RENFREW'S HISTORIC THEATRE R0771950109

Community - Megan Hazen can put quite a feather in her cap.

An Ontario Scholar from the Renfrew Collegiate Institute graduating class of 2013, the aspiring artist has one of her paintings displayed at the National Art Gallery of Canada.

Many seasoned artists canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say that.

The daughter of Harold and Laurie Hazen of Admaston-Bromley Township entered a So You Want to Be An Artist contest.

Participants were asked to submit and post art about something they care about.

Voting followed, and the top 12 finishers earned the right to have their art work displayed in the National Art Gallery.

Hazen was a solid seventh-place finisher with her piece called Hidden. It garnered 370 votes.

The leader â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kevin Nguyen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; had 426 votes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Self image is something that many people struggle with,â&#x20AC;? Hazen said in her artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We live in a culture in which appearance is regarded as an element of high personal value, and are constantly surrounded by the standards that are set by society. This pressure

has often resulted in the loss of some confidence for many, myself included. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This piece is called Hidden because it is representational of the impulse that many of us feel when faced with this pressure to hide. To hide oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true self is an injustice, hampering the potential of each individual. It is difficult, however, not to want to do so. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The subject in this piece is literally hiding herself from the full gaze of the viewer, speaking to the unPETER CLARK/METROLAND willingness that is often felt Megan Hazen participates in a 20-minute Battle of the Canvas July 13 to expose our true selves. at Renfrew Art in the Park.

We remain Hidden.â&#x20AC;?

The contest ran April 22 to May 21, and voting took place until June 30 at 11:59 LETTER TO THE EDITOR p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so exciting,â&#x20AC;?

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, July 24, 2014 15

American kestrels fledged and searching for food Lifestyle - Reverend John and Barbara Stopa sent us this email.

We had to share a magnificent experience my husband and I had this evening.

We were looking up at a hydro pole beside our garage and saw an American kestrel. We have never seen this bird before, with its black and white strips on its neck.

I checked my National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of Eastern North America and made a positive identification.

This is the first summer we are feeding the birds, as we usually feed in the fall and winter months only.

Thank you for your email. This little falcon is among our most welcome nesters. After the juveniles become independent of their parents, usually in late fall, they gather in groups of from eight to 10 individuals to hunt. If their food source of mice, voles and moles is particularly abundant the size of the groups will grow.When food becomes scarce or the adults move in to claim winter territories the young disperse and migrate further south. One of their favourite perching sites is on telephone and hydro wires. Watch for them along country roads.

nights with no moon. There may be 40 or 50 birds in the same field.

POPULATION REPORT

JIM FERGUSON Scene from the Hawk’s Eye IMMATURE TANAGER

Mary Turcotte was able to get a photo of an immature scarlet tanager, a difficult feat in itself, making body size and shape and plumage patterns easier to study. Immature birds tend to look like their mother.

The colours are subdued and some pin feathers may remain in the plumage (as was the case with this bird).

Males and females do not usually gain their breeding plumage until their second year.

Plumage is continually changing in the colour of the feathers and their shape because of the abundance or lack of food and general wear and tear as they hunt for food.

In late summer, adult males will show scarlet feathers and lime green ones at the same time as they go through their fall moult.

The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has published their 2014 American woodcock population report, which includes data collected by Citizen Scientists in Ontario.

The number of American Woodcocks in Ontario has declined by 0.9 per cent per year from 1968 to 2013. Fortunately, this negative trend continues to lessen, with no significant change in population in 2013 and 2014, or in the last decade. Our 2014 volunteers contributed data on 82 routes, despite daunting weather, cold spring conditions, and poor route access Bird Studies Canada, in partnership with Environment Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, monitors the size of breeding populations throughout northeastern North America.

With so many reports of population declines, it is good news to hear that one of our summer residents is holding its own. Finding this species during the nesting season is a challenge.

In summer, after becoming independent of their mothers, the young will gather in certain fields on wet

BIRD BOXES

Murden Johnston has several bird boxes placed around his property and they have been put to good use this summer.

Pairs of tree swallows have used the boxes with success, great crested flycatchers did likewise and bluebirds are using the boxes to raise second broods.

Immature American bitterns have fledged on the Johnston property and have decided to travel on their own.

The female begins to incubate with her first egg and as a result the chicks hatch at intervals of a day or two and are different sizes.

The clutches we have seen appear to be all the same size when they leave the nest and are on their own.

If you have immature bitterns on or near your property would you see if they are all about the same size and let us know.

JIM FERGUSON

American kestrel ready to be on its own.

Canadian Wildlife Service show some encouraging news as well as some troubling trends to keep an eye on.

After a delayed migration, likely due to a winter that just wouldn’t quit in many areas, a total of 49.2 million ducks were estimated in their traditional North American breeding areas this year up eight per cent above 2013.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

MINIMIZE THE FINAL INCOME TAX LIABILITY OF YOUR ESTATE proper planning, a deceased’s “ Without income tax liability could be significant Did you know that approximately 80% of Canadians will donate to a charity during their lifetime? However, it is estimated that less than 10% will include a gift to a registered charity in their Will.

By Marty Clement, Leader EY’s Professionals Services marty.clement@ca.ey.com (613) 598-4894

This is one of a series of several articles intended to build awareness about the impact of legacy giving to Forever CHEO. In addition to the spiritual and community benefits of gifting to a registered charity, naming a registered charity as a beneficiary in your Will can also be an effective way to minimize the final income tax liability

of an estate. Without proper planning, a deceased’s income tax liability could be significant. Various income inclusions at the time of death, such as deemed capital gains and the fair market value of an RRSP can result in a higher than expected estate income tax liability given Canada’s graduated income tax rates.

Gifts to Forever CHEO can include cash legacies, bequests of real or personal property, securities, life insurance proceeds and all or part of the residue of the estate.

All of these gifts can potentially generate tax credits available to reduce an estate’s income tax liability. Additionally, the gifting of certain types of capital property to Forever CHEO under the terms of a Will may avoid capital gains but still maximize the tax credits available from such a gift.

If you are interested in finding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at

megandoyle@cheofoundation.com or (613) 738-3694

”

Please feel free to contact any member of CHEO’s Legacy Advisory Committee for more information about minimizing the tax liability of your estate and how you can make a lasting impact on the kids and families at CHEO. We would be happy to help you create your Forever CHEO legacy for generations of CHEO patients.

Love of art continues with mentor’s support Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Lifestyle – She’s 63, but she talks with a special energy about painting, like a girl pleased to be caught up in a swirl of savoury smells in a chocolate shop.

Joanne Beattie-Kalimeris went back to do a pair of Grade 13 art courses at Renfrew Collegiate Institute at the age of 40, when her art teacher was Dave Lorente.

She was first exposed to his teaching as a Grade 9 student, and almost 50 years later she counts Lorente as a good friend, confidant and art mentor.

The importance of the long-lasting relationship is relished by BeattieKalimeris.

A fine example of their connection happened about 15 years ago, when he paid her a visit with a couple of things wrapped in paper. It turns out they were two of her Grade 9 art that are now among dozens of paintings that hang in her Renfrew home.

Another painting on her walls is the replica, done for her Grade 13 art exam, of work by 17th-century Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer. For her copy of the Girl with a Pearl Earring, she received a mark of 97 per cent.

“He was such a fantastic teacher,” she says of her earliest exposure to Lorente’s teaching.

“He’s still my mentor because he was so experienced, inspiring, dedicated and interested in his students.”

And still interested, she adds.

A hairstylist for 35 years, she retired from that business when she became sick about 10 years ago.

There’s good reason to put down the paint brush, when thinking about how much time and visual attention (that is hard on the eyes) is needed to capture the needed intricacies in a good painting.

As a result, historical pieces may remain a smaller part of her portfolio, but not less important. Meanwhile, she continues to do abstracts and to extract ideas for paintings from conversations with her mentor.

She didn’t paint nearly as much during her years as a hairstylist.

“I returned to it (with more attention after getting sick), but I always did it,” she says of her art.

“I would always draw or study art, but I didn’t produce a whole lot because I was behind the chair (hairstyling).”

Now, she has a good-sized portfolio, including her series of 12 historical sites in Renfrew, another two dozen or so abstract works, and what she calls a private icon collection that features such studied figures as the Greek Trinity and the Russian Madonna with Child.

The Renfrew historical series paintings, which she’s staunchly proud of, are watercolour and acrylic works. That series includes: • the Sunset Market Restaurant in 1966, • Scott & Sons Hardware Christ-

mas window (which was the poster painting for the Renfrew Victoria Hospital’s Tree of Life campaign in 2013), • Dougie’s Red Chip Wagon, • the last train coming through the CN train station in the early 1970s, and •the Vincent’s Taxi original home that still stands behind the Bonnechere Bakery.

Some of her attention to detail, she suspects, comes from her dad Bob, who was a draftsman and teacher at RCI when Lorente was teaching.

But Lorente provided insights and motivation that have continued to inspire her art for decades. She considers those contributions pretty special.

And for that, they’re both grateful.

“He is one of the reasons that I stayed at RCI (through Grade 11),” says Beattie-Kalimeris. “He was my mentor then, and he is my mentor today.

“In the fall of 2014, Dave will have been my teacher for 50 years.

If I have problems or want to talk to Dave about something, artistically or about life or architecture or archeology or anything, I phone Dave and he comes down and he helps me out.”

It’s a meaningful connection, says Lorente, 85, noting the former hairstylist also cuts his hair.

“It means a great deal,” he says, noting that Beattie-Kalimeris has taken her art in many meaningful directions, including touching on every aspect of ancient and medieval

history courses he taught at RCI. “She’s exceptionally good at adopting suggestions. She sees the rationale behind them,” adds the retired teacher.

“I get great satisfaction from teaching, and this (mentorship) is just an extension of that.”

Lorente says he also takes particular satisfaction from the relationship because of her artistic talent and how she can do things that he can’t.

Lorente’s painting of lumber baron J.R. Booth was the ‘poster’ painting of the 1993 Lumber Baron Festival in Renfrew. For the 1997 festival, it was Beattie-Kalimeris’s turn, as she did Britchin’ On, a painting of draft horses pulling hard on a load of logs.

Cancer survivor returns to Ride the Rideau

By Tracey Tong Two things ďŹ rst inspired Dawn Morewood to start cycling in Ride the Rideau when the signature fundraiser of The Ottawa Hospital Foundation launched ďŹ ve years ago.

husband welcomed their ďŹ rst grandchild.

The ďŹ rst was her father, Jack, who was diagnosed with bladder cancer, and subsequently successfully treated with the oncolytic therapies the Ride would help support.

Since then, Dawnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had another mammogram and ultrasound, and both came back clear. After a year off from Ride the Rideau, she and Arthur are plotting their return to the 100 km event at the ďŹ fth annual ride on Saturday, September 6 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; on a tandem bicycle, of course.

The second was her love of bicycling. A cycling fanatic of more than 30 years, she and her husband, Arthur, met 28 years ago through the Ottawa Bicycle Club, and participate in Ride the Rideau every year on a tandem bicycle.

With three rides already under her belt, irony struck when Dawn herself was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2013. The investment advisor with RBC Dominion Securities was 50 years old at the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d had the instinct that something was wrong,â&#x20AC;? said Dawn.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the closing of a chapter and the start of a new one,â&#x20AC;? Dawn, now 51, summed up perfectly.

A mammogram and an ultrasound conďŹ rmed the presence of a solid mass, and she underwent a biopsy and a battery of tests at The Ottawa Hospital. Although it was breast cancer, Dawn did get the good news that it was caught early. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The diagnosis came way out of left ďŹ eld,â&#x20AC;? Dawn remembered.

Within two weeks, Dawn had undergone a lumpectomy. The results were excellent â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the cancer had not yet spread, and the margins were clear. She underwent six rounds of chemotherapy over 18 weeks, as well as radiation, which ended February 13 of this year.

One of the best parts? Her dad â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;a picture of health at 88 years oldâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will be there to cheer them on, she said.

Noron ownership changes hands after 35 years Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

News - There’s a lot to celebrate at Noron Home Communications.

It was the 35th anniversary of the business July 19.

Noron also has new ownership.

Norm Bujold is handing the reins over to top technician Terry Wall effective immediately.

“We are handing the torch to Terry Wall and wife Janine. It’s been a great run (for) home communications,” Bujold said.

Bujold adds, he is not retiring.

“I’m still staying involved with Noron Security. We have many customers throughout the Valley that we will be servicing.”

Bujold will also focus on his other two jobs, Bonnechere Development and a new subdivision on Coleraine Drive.

Two years later, the team has grown to more than 20 riders, and Mattamy Homes has taken the reins as title sponsor of The Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s signature fundraiser.

Ride the Rideau is a natural fit for Mattamy Homes, Canada’s largest new home builder, said Peter Gilgan, Founder and CEO of Mattamy Homes.

Based in Toronto, Gilgan, who is an avid cyclist, recently signed up to do the 100-mile ride in Ottawa alongside his staff.

“This is definitely something that we’re proud to be a part of,” said Mark Parsons, President of the Ottawa Division of Mattamy Homes. Parsons and team captain Mattamy Senior Project Manager, Land Development

Mike Green, both avid cyclists, are leading group rides so all team members will be comfortable with their conditioning on the day of the Ride.

The team has brought Mattamy’s small Ottawa office closer together, Green said.

“Ottawa has always supported Mattamy,” said Gilgan, “and we want to give back where we build.”

According to the Canadian Cancer Society, cancer is the leading cause of death in Canada and is responsible for 30 cent of all deaths. An estimated 191,300 new cases of cancer and 76,600 deaths from cancer will occur in Canada in 2014. The proceeds from Ride the Rideau support the groundbreaking cancer research that will save or improve the quality of life for many.

In its fifth year, Ride the Rideau will be held Saturday, September 6. It features a brand-new 100 mile distance this year, in addition to its popular 50 km and flagship 100 km rides. All distances feature new routes, departing from and returning to Ottawa’s EY Centre, making it easier for family, friends and fans to cheer riders on at the start and finish.

The Ride grows each year, continues to be the top cancer fundraiser in Eastern Ontario. In just four years, has raised over $6.45 million in support of cancer research, including the development of personalized therapies for cancer patients and clinical trials at The Ottawa Hospital.

When Mattamy Homes first got involved with Ride the Rideau in 2012, they were a cozy team of five. But like many event participants, the event grew on them. Inspired by the cause and captivated by the well-organized event, the team decided to up their involvement.

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, July 24, 2014 29

Mennonites decide to call Admaston-Bromley home Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Community - â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were brought up to work.

It is a way of life for us.â&#x20AC;?

The words come from Levi Weber, after moving from the Kitchener area along with two other Mennonite families, to establish new roots in Renfrew County.

The Weber family arrived April 8 in Admaston-Bromley.

Work is an every-day reality on the Webersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 100-acre property on Stone Road.

Evidence one weekday morning includes the horses that teenage son Allan leads home following a wagon ride in the countryside, the sweating Percheron cooling off in the barn, the new storage building under construction beside the house, and the planting of garden seeds next to the house by his wife Velina and children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our teachings would be to stay away from an easy life,â&#x20AC;? says Weber, who turns 38 this month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our faith is concerned with preserving our heritage, and an easy life would maybe not be a good way to preserve it. You look at us and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a little inconsistent â&#x20AC;Śbut there are inconsistencies all over the world, even in modern society.â&#x20AC;?

The Webersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mennonite faith dates back to Anabaptist beginnings with Menno Simons in

the 16th century. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find our teachings are about modesty,â&#x20AC;? says Weber, whose faith basically follows the teachings of Jesus Christ.

The world-wide Mennonites population is estimated at 1.7 million. Their largest numbers are in India, Ethiopia, Congo, United States and Canada, but Mennonites live in about 80 countries.

Levi and Velina have eight children, including Franey, whose first birthday is in July, and Allan, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the oldest, at 14. The others are Nathaniel, Solomon, Katie, Susie, Ina and Adeline.

Dancing and drinking of alcohol are not practised by the Mennonites, while hymns are their predominant choice of songs, notes Weber. Nor do they use telephones or computers.

Born in Kitchener, Ont., Weber grew up in Wingham, near the village of Wroxeter.

LOOING TO EXPAND

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our community was looking to expand,â&#x20AC;? he says of coming to Renfrew County and avoiding the rising cost of property in southwestern Ontario. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We may have had to make changes that would have affected our way of life.â&#x20AC;?

A group from their Mennonite community was appointed to find new residential territory, but they wanted to stay in Ontario where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

easier to run their private schools. In contrast, there might have been more restrictions in the Province of Quebec, says Weber. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were very much in favour of the idea of spreading out, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new opportunities in new areas. We felt that this was an area where the growing season was comparable to what we grew up with,â&#x20AC;? says Weber. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slightly shorter, which is not necessarily my choice, but generally the better growing season the higher the land price seems to be.â&#x20AC;?

In coming to Admaston-Bromley, he sees a farming community that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too far from other towns and major urban centres. Thus, the Mennonites have a local market for the produce they grow and other products, such as the steel roofing components that Weber sells through his own business.

Since Mennonites seek to minimize their dependence on motor-driven transportation, horses are a mainstay.

The automobile tends to be part of a fastpaced life, says Weber. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (horses) are the main mode of transportation, and horsepower on the farm,â&#x20AC;? he explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, we do have the use of diesel motors and power units to drive the machines such as grain thrashers and corn-cutters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any vehicles at all â&#x20AC;Ś but public bus lines will be used rather than regular vehicles.â&#x20AC;?

We were very much in favour of the idea of spreading out, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new opportunities in new areas.

NEW RENFREW COUNTY RESIDENT LEVI WEBER

The Weber family has four Belgian or Percheron horses â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Netty, Benny, Jasper and Pepper â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as well as four lighter-boned road horses, a few younger horses that are being raised as replacement for aging horses, and a milking cow.

They also have two dogs, a Golden Retriever and Jack Russell, to keep the raccoons away from their garden produce.

HITCHING POSTS

Most of the horses get exercise, pulling a buggy or wagon 10 or 12 kilometres, every second day. Because of their travels, they have also asked local businesses to provide hitching posts.

Some have been accommodating, says Weber. These include Gourleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Variety & Gas Bar and the Admaston-Bromley municipal office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Personally, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just own horses because I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a car,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Mennonites Continued from 30

“I also like horses. I probably would have horses, regardless. They are to us a way of life that tends to help keep us away from the fast pace (of life).

“However, we are fully aware that it is not fair to make a horse work harder than what is right and what he is made for. We are very conscious of the fact that we want to be fair to our animals.”

Schooling is also central to the Mennonite community.

They will be educated in a local Mennonite school, and not attend local schools run by the county’s Catholic or public school boards.

“We are concerned that our children try to run a pure life,” says Weber.

Having lived in Admaston-Bromley just a few months, Weber says their new home “is more laid back than where we came from,” and appears to be an active community.

The Weber children are missing their friends, says their dad, but new friends will be made primarily with other Mennonite families, and through occasional social outings elsewhere.

Couples Manassah and Sarah Sherk of Fourth Chute, near Douglas, and Moses and Betsy Martin of Cobden are among other recent Mennonite arrivals.

Millionaires Special Olympics softball team golden in Vancouver Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - Canada enjoyed some tremendous goldmedal success in Vancouver in 2010.

Four years later, so has Renfrew.

The Renfrew Millionaires softball team followed up last year’s provincial gold-medal triumph by capturing gold at the Special Olympics National Summer Games in Vancouver.

The Ontario representative Millionaires outlasted Manitoba 15-14 July 13 to win the championship of the B division.

“Of the hundreds of games I’ve coached, this is by far, easily, the most exciting game,” coach Frank Belanger said.

“I couldn’t be more proud of them.”

Renfrew is normally pooled in the C or D division, Belanger noted, and not until they got there, did they know they’d be placed as high as B. That didn’t stop the Renfrew squad as they pulled out a number of thrilling, closely-contested wins in the week-long tournament.

The Millionaires went 5-and-1 with their lone setback coming in pool play.

They earned a bye to the final, and looked on as Manitoba outlasted Prince Edward Island in the semifinal.

The final, at the home of the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds, was a back-and-forth roller coaster ride.

Both teams answered rallies from the other team with uprisings of their own.

Manitoba scored their allotted five runs in the top of the first inning, and the Millionaires matched it in the bottom half.

It was more of the same in the second.

SEVENTH-INNING RALLY

Heading to the bottom of the seventh inning, the Millionaires found themselves down 14-13 with a precious three outs left.

Raymond Goodyear got the inning started when he slashed a double to give the Millionaires new life.

Next up, pitcher Earl McNulty helped his own cause when he stroked an RBI double to score Goodyear.

Then, up stepped Patrick Grist, who added a two-base hit of his own to chase McNulty home with the championship-winning run.

“It was a shame that somebody had to lose,” coach Belanger said of the final game.

“People were hugging each other in the (handshake) line at the end of the game,” coach Belanger said.

“One of their guys grabbed one of our guys and everyone started hugging, even the coaches,” he added. “I’ve never seen that before.”

It was a tough week for the Millionaires, as not unlike the big leagues, they sustained their share of in-

juries.

“We used four catchers because of injuries,” coach Belanger said.

Mary-Ellen McNulty, Eldon Behm, Janice Lee and Doug McNulty all spent time behind the plate during the tournament.

Provinces had professional athletes represent them as honourary coaches.

Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Jake Gardiner was the honourary coach for Team Ontario.

Many of the players got his autograph.

The championship gives the Millionaires a chance to qualify for the world championships next year in Los Angeles.

“If they take the best team there, it’s (A division champion) B.C. They were the best team (in Vancouver).”

“But if they take the team that deserves to be there, it’s the Renfrew Millionaires,” the coach said.

Coach Belanger stressed they won’t know if they qualify until later this year, probably in October Celebrations begin following Renfrew’s gold-medal championship win or November. in Vancouver.

Royals minor league champs Renfrew Minor Baseball wrapped up the minor level (ages 9-10) season July 12 by hosting a year-end tournament for the league. The Renfrew Royals, coached by Scott Buffam, and the Renfrew Phantoms, coached by Al Harris, played host to Pembroke, Petawawa, and Barryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay teams. Both teams played very well, winning their first two games. This led to a Renfrew versus Renfrew match-up in the A Final. It was a very close game. Despite a fine rally by the Phantoms in the third inning, the Royals held on to and kept the lead throughout the game, ultimately winning the A Championship. Barryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay claimed the B-side victory. Celebrating the Royals triumph are, from left, Tal Stevenson, Owen Brabant, Kaleb Clemmer, Carson Moran, Connor Buffam, Rory Limlaw, Carson Lefebvre, Luke Steele, Tye Moore, Bo Stevenson, and, in front with trophy, Jake Scheuneman.

Community - Kidney Walk 2014 is coming to Renfrew.

On Sunday, Sept. 21 at Ma-Te-Way Park at 11 a.m., the kidney community will gather to take steps to reduce the burden of kidney disease in your community for all those touched by kidney failure.

By joining your local Kidney Walk you can help too.

Registration is at 10 a.m.

One in 10 Canadians has kidney disease, and millions more are risk. More than 10,000 people in Ontario are on dialysis today and 1,100 are on the wait list for a transplant.

End-stage kidney failure is a permanent, life-changing diagnosis.

Undergoing dialysis treatments numerous times a week takes its toll physically, psychologically, and financially, and can dramatically affect the patient as well as his or her family and friends.

Participants in the Kidney Walks will only

walk a few kilometres, but each step will provide hope for those touched by kidney disease.

Create a team and join together at a Walk location near you to help make a difference. It only requires a little time and effort, but each step will provide hope to many.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of The Kidney Foundation of Canada and Kidney Walks are taking place in moe than 40 communities in Ontario.

The foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to support those affected by kidney disease through education, patient support programs like the Kidney Connect Peer Support program, advocacy, and by funding research to improve understanding of kidney disease and its treatments.

Over the last 50 years, The Kidney Foundation has invested more than $110 million in kidney research.

Join the kidney community at Kidney Walk and help create a future without kidney disease. For more information, please visit www. kidneywalk.ca. Or call Bruce Hill at 1-800387-4474 ext. 4560 or bhill@kidney.on.ca.

Stone Fence Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest musical opens to standing ovation Stone Fence Theatre

Community - Gâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;day, Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re from the Valley, EH!, the new musical from Stone Fence Theatre, brought audience members to their feet at its ďŹ rst preview show last week.

The show, consisting of comic sketches and songs about modern Ottawa Valley and rural life, was written by company producer Ish Theilheimer and group members, with a great deal of input from the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young director, Chantal Elie-Sernoskie. ElieSernoskie, John Haslam and Peter Brown all contributed songs, lyrics or music.

The showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 cast members play a variety of characters with a recurring theme that, contrary to stereotype, rural life has a lot to offer younger adults, as well as older ones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While the show features lots of traditional music, as we always do, our crew has also taken some musical chances, including blues, rock and even

a rap number,â&#x20AC;? says Theilheimer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great is how well our traditionally-minded audience responded at both earlybird shows to the new kinds of dramatic and musical material. They proved the point of the show â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that Valley people have a canny and sophisticated view of the world outsiders donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always get.â&#x20AC;?

LOTTERY WIN, BUT ...

The show begins with the story of Killaloeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Delmer Hartwig, who won $15 million in a lottery last fall but shocked big-city reporters by delaying picking up his winnings until after a planned elkhunting trip.

From there, the cast romps through scene after scene drawn from modern Valley life. We meet seasonally employed local contractors who have other responsibilities in winter such as watching their wives play hockey and doing

child care. We see the bonds of matrimony strained at the local curling club.

The show lampoons smart phones, cheap imported junk and other so-called conviences of modern life, and even takes us to Blues Tues in Wilno 100 years from now.

It includes a rap number called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Get My Valley Up!â&#x20AC;? of which the company has made a YouTube video.

The show will be performed in six Ottawa Valley locations, including the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main stage in Eganville.

A big part of the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popularity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; now in its 12th year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is that most performances feature â&#x20AC;&#x153;supper theatre,â&#x20AC;? prepared Ottawa Valleystyle.

For all performance locations, tickets are available online, at Stone Fence Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-new website www.stonefence.ca.

The box ofďŹ ce, for phone orders, is at 613-628-6600 or toll-free 1-866-310-1004.

Community - This Friday, July 25 has been coined International Lumberjack Day. Additionally, the World Lumberjack Competition is taking place July 24 to 26 in Hayward, Wisconsin.

However, long before days of devoting a day of the year to dressing up as a bearded man of the gruelling logging business, the lumbering trade was crucial to both the industrial development and the settling of immigrants in Renfrew and much of the Ottawa Valley.

Fur trade originally reigned as the major staple industry of

the Ottawa Valley; however, a decline in fur trade along the Ottawa River gave rise to a boom in the Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forest industry. Although lumbering was originally popular solely during the winter months to provide an economic boost, events in Europe explained a rise in the value of timber and set motion to the timber trade, which lasted nearly a hundred years..

By the time that European demand for North American timber began to decline, the Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forestry industry was able to refocus on meeting the American marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing demand for lumber.

The gardening seasons for the Renfrew area are all over the map with dry years, wet years, late frosts, early frosts and an endless list of other garden enemies. In spite of these possible conditions the local gardeners produce quality entries year in and year out.

The people who enter their fruit and vegetables in the Renfrew Fair are small â&#x20AC;&#x153;back yardâ&#x20AC;? growers who enjoy displaying what they grow and are proud of their accomplishments.

The Exhibit Hall booklet lists 69 categories in which people may enter

with a very wide range of produce.

Each year the list of categories is reviewed and possibly revised with new sections added or old ones removed due to lack of entries over several years.

It is a pleasure each year to see those old faces that have been entering for many years and reassuring to find new faces who are taking part for the first time.

The committee always welcomes suggestions for changes or for additional sections.

Complete information on the fruit and vegetable section is contained in the Renfrew Fair Exhibit Hall booklet.

The office is at the Armouries and is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The week of the fair it moves to the brick building at gate two.

The collection of items for exhibiting begins Tuesday, Sept. 2 at 6 p.m. and closes at 9 p.m. This is done in the exhibition hall. Please bring your items ready, with their proper tags attached.

There is an entry form you will need to fill in with all your entries and hand into the office no later than Tuesday night.

This form is in the booklets, on our website renfrewfair.com or you may obtain one from the office.

Judging takes place on the Wednesday and spectators are not allowed in the exhibit hall while this is going on.

Pick-up of all exhibits is Sunday from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. The exhibit hall closes at 4:30 p.m. to disassemble.

To be an exhibitor you must first have a membership. This may be obtained by going to the fair office and purchasing one.

They are five dollars per person and with that membership you may enter as many items as you wish, keeping in mind you may only enter once in each section, and you must be the person who did the work.

So get those thinking caps on, and start planning. Enjoy.

48 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, July 24, 2014

Renfrew County Catholic school board approves budget News - The Renfrew County Catholic District School Board has approved a budget for 2014-2015 that focuses on strengthening individual student achievement within a supportive and faith-based school system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our budget is based on the key priorities of providing the highest quality of education according to the Ministry of Educationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guidelines within the safe and supportive learning environment of our Catholic school system,â&#x20AC;? said board chair Bob Michaud. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some key areas for expenditure in the 2014â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2015 budget are special education, information technology (IT), early years education, health and wellness, and professional development,â&#x20AC;? he added in a news release issued by the school board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The total budget is $62,012,981, of which 95 per cent, or $58,747,562, will come from grants.â&#x20AC;?

A projected deficit of 0.8 per cent will be covered by board reserves, he explained.

In the area of IT, the board will complete its fibre optic

installation project in 2014â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2015. The work will see a high-speed fibre optic cable providing robust, fast and stable internet service to schools across the system.

Funds in the amount of $50,000 will be invested in increasing the wireless platform within schools, along with $90,000 to purchase mobile devices for classrooms, including both tablet and laptop technologies.

INFORMATION APP

A new mobile app for the board will provide information about schools, buses and various board programs to students and families using a mobile phone or social media. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are investing in other exciting projects as well, including spreading pockets of technological excellence across our entire system,â&#x20AC;? said Michaud. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This budget will also maintain its efforts for the academic growth and lifelong learning of our students through programs such as col-

Our board is determined to offer our students the best opportunities for success.

BOB MICHAUD

laborative inquiry and bearning in mathematics and early primary collaborative inquiry, which help to increase student engagement and improve learning outcomes.â&#x20AC;?

In 2014â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2015, the board will also complete the fiveyear rollout of full-day kindergarten (FDK), and add five early childhood educators to the early years program staff.

Several capital projects are tied to the FDK program, including a new kindergarten classroom at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School in Petawawa along with an additional classroom and meeting spaces, and expanding St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School in Petawawa for two new Kindergarten classrooms

Special thank you to JimCommunity - Every year at Ren- mie Moore for his emceeing frew Seniors’ Home Support we put during the performance.

Renfrew Seniors’ Home out requests for volunteers, and this year is no exception as demand for our services keeps increasing as the needs of seniors and adults with disabilities increase in our community.

These services, that help to improve people’s lives so that they may stay in their own homes, in their own communities longer, are made possible by our wonderful volunteers who dedicate their time to helping others.

We are currently looking for volunteers in our transportation and friendly visiting programs both of which have seen a dramatic increase in demand this year.

There are many benefits to volunteering: reducing social isolation through active involvement in your community, socialization, filling your day in a way that benefits others, reducing life stresses, increasing personal empowerment and increasing self-esteem, self- worth and self-confidence.

Volunteering brings fulfillment to your life and benefits both the mind and body.

Please call the office (613-4327691) if you would like to become a Renfrew Seniors’ Home Support Volunteer and make a difference in our wonderful community.

Excavation in preparation for installation of the last 14 sections of penstock. This will start at the corner of the upper plant, and run through the outer edge of the parking lot to the headworks structure at the canal. As you can see, we have encountered rock in the CHARLIE JAMIESON PHOTOS path of the penstock. This will be removed through limited and controlled blasting over The two turbine assemblies in their final location in the powerhouse. The penstock ex- the coming few weeks. iting the surge structure will connect to the two turbines through the wall of the powerhouse. Water will enter the units through the opening facing the camera. It will pass down through the turbine causing an internal propeller to rotate, before exiting out the bottom of the powerhouse and returning to the river. The propeller is attached to a shaft that can be seen at the top of the turbine. The shaft will in turn have a generator installed that will convert the energy from the rotating shaft into electricity. The generators will be installed in September when the powerhouse building is closed in.

The first of the two turbine assemblies being lowered into place in the new powerhouse.

The turbines were manufactured by Norcan Hydraulic Turbine Inc. in Carleton Place. These new turbines have been sized to both accommodate maximum spring waterflows, and scale back for the lower flows that are experienced in the remainder of the year. These new generators are expected to increase annual energy production by over 25 per cent.

Surge structure largely complete Charlie Jamieson Thomas Low Generating Station Project

The Renfrew Power Generation Thomas Low Generating Station project is re-developing the Renfrew site at Bridge Street with a new power plant and water conveyance infrastructure with rehabilitation of the existing canal and dam.

Construction started June 10, 2013.

In the last update we indicated work had

shifted to the lower end of the site to address the surge structure and new powerhouse. Since then, the surge structure has been largely completed.

The powerhouse is rising through the foundation stages and we have reached a major milestone, as the turbines have been received and fitted into the powerhouse.

Inquiries about the project can be addressed to TLGSinfo@renfrewpg.ca

Emersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s invention gets him in hot water The only time he ever confided in me about something as private as an invention was when he needed help. He had been working in the drive shed for most of the morning.

And when he came out he searched the barnyard to make sure no one was in sight.

He had two long poles... cleaned off branches really, off the lowest part of the big maple in our front yard, and an armful of binder twine. He beckoned me to come with him behind the cow byre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If this works, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make a fortune,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;See if you can sidle up to that cow over there.â&#x20AC;?

Now, I know why I was taken into his confidence. Most of the cows were pets to me, and I had no trouble getting old Bossy to stand still. Emerson approached her rear end slowly with the two poles and the binder twine.

Bossy was swishing her tail like mad. Emerson had to make two or three grabs before he got a hold of it. I was feeding hay into her mouth on Emersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s orders.

He placed the two hefty limbs along each side of the tail and very quickly wrapped

Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories MARY COOK

the binder twine around them because Bossy was beginning to wonder what was going on at her other end.

When he had it secured, by wrapping some binder twine around her back legs, he dusted off his hands and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now when she swishes her tail, it will reach farther and if my design is correct, she will kill the horse flies on contact.â&#x20AC;?

He added, he would only try it out on one cow to see how it worked.

Now, under ordinary circumstances nothing would have come of this exercise, and it would have gone the way of all Emersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inventions. But that evening Father was late coming in from the fields. We brought the cows inside in a hurry, and he went right at the milking.

It was almost dark in the barn, as he positioned the stool at Bossyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full udder. But you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need much light to milk. Father was a scant foot

from this weapon Bossy had attached to her tail.

The horse flies loved the dank heat of the barn and the place was buzzing.

Emerson was standing at the barn door, which now I realized was very fortunate for him.

Bossyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tail was moving ever so slightly, and then one of the flies must have really done some damage, because that apparition Emerson had attached to her came around her rear end with a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;why wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and connected with the side of Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head with such a whack that it knocked him off the stool and sent the milk flying.

Father just sat there for several seconds trying to figure out what hit him. Then he got up and slowly made his way towards Bossyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tail. He stood for the longest time looking at the two branches and the binder twine that he hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t noticed before. He let one roar out of him ordering Emerson to get in there at once.

I turned to the door where Emerson had been standing.

All I saw was our barn cat licking her paws and lapping at the spilt milk.

Lifestyle - Mother always said my brother Emerson was going to grow up to be a prominent scientist...or at the very least an inventor of note. He spent hours drawing on art paper that Mother somehow managed to buy at Ritzaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Drug Store at the one cent sale...you got five pads for a quarter, and then five more for a nickel.

So Emerson always had a goodly number of pads on which to draw mysterious glass buildings, unrecognizable structures, and maps of countries which existed only in his imagination.

And he was forever dreaming up some idea that would make life easier on the farm. These ideas would be first put to paper, and if he could manage it, put into use...but rarely did any of them amount to a hill of beans.

Take the time he thought if he put plank like devices on the horses feet in the winter time it would prevent the horses from plunging belly-deep in the snow in the bush.

Fortunately Father wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let him near the team, but Emerson was so sure the idea was one of the best he had ever dreamed up that he took his design and tucked it under his bed with his collection of maps and pictures of buildings the likes of which we had never seen before, and thought we never would.

And then one hot summer day he got another spurt of imagination. It happened when we were both swinging on the gate behind the cow byre.

The cows were waiting to be put inside to be milked, and the horse flies were as thick as thieves.

I felt so sorry for the cows. Their tails werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t nearly long enough to swat the flies off their front parts, and so I would often stand with a leafy branch and swish it over their backs chasing away these dreadful flies which I hated with a passion.

I was lamenting to Emerson that the horse flies even followed the cows into the barn.

And I commented that once I started to milk I had to forgo chasing away the flies.

Emerson hung most of his body over the link fence. Not a muscle in his entire form was moving. He always went like that when he was thinking... sort of like being in a trance it was, I thought.

That night while the rest of us sat looking at Eatonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catalogue at the kitchen table, Emerson was in a corner with his pad of graph paper.

No one paid any attention to him... this was the way he spent many an hour.

But the next day he took me into his confidence. I should have known better.

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, July 24, 2014 53

GRAND ROUNDS

Oncology Unit keeps pace with treatment advances Patients who are diagnosed with cancer have more options than ever before when it comes to battling the disease. Advances in drug regimens require some patients’ chemotherapy time to be longer compared to a few years ago.

“Depending on the type and complexity of the cancer, treatments can be anywhere from 15 minutes up to six hours,” notes Oncology RN Erin Prentice.

This makes the expanded Oncology Unit a very welcome aspect of the construction and renovation project underway at RVH.

Currently, the cozy corner Oncology Unit on the second floor has four treatment chairs.

Privacy and infection control can be a challenge, says the unit Nurse Manager, Rhonda Normandeau.

Redevelopment plans will move oncology services into the current Dialysis Unit located on the main level of the hospital.

Normandeau says that along with improving the comfort level for patients, the larger unit will feature important oncology support services like a wig and hat room plus a separate space for patient teaching and counselling.

The expansion of the unit will allow up to eight treatment chairs, a window view for each patient and ample space for a family member or friend to sit next to the patient during their stay.

“The opportunity to expand the oncology unit will have enormous benefits for cancer patients. In addition to excellent care and support, and the latest treatments, patients will experience a more pleasant environment where they can focus on getting better,” concludes Prentice.

“The extra space will provide patients with more comfortable surroundings in which to complete their treatment. It will also provide space for more treatments, including transfusions.”

– Dr. Stephanie Langlois, one of four specially trained local physicians who care for the complex needs of RVH’s oncology patients.

Chris Ferguson, RVH Vice President of Patient Care Services leads a tour of the current oncology unit.

Local Fiddler Guy Jamieson enjoys drifting down the Bonnechere River, while entertaining the paddlers in the great outdoors. Also in the canoe, at back is BRWP Chair Kathy CHERYL KEETCH/BONNECHERE RIVER WATERSHED PROJECT Lindsay and Margaret Henderson of Fergus in front.

Some of the nearly 70 paddlers who participated in the July 12 paddle.

Paddlers explore Bonnechere from Eganville to Fourth Chute Bonnechere River Waterhased Project

Community - Paddlers from as far away as Toronto and Montreal comprised the nearly 70 people in canoes, kayaks and on paddle boards, who explored a beautiful section of the Bonnechere River on Saturday, July 12, when Kathy Lindsay, chair of the Bonnechere River Watershed Project, and Chris Hinsperger, owner of Bonnechere Caves, co-led a fabulous paddle excursion, downriver

from Eganville to the Forth Chute at the Bonnechere Caves.

Paddlers had the unique experience of hearing live traditional Ottawa Valley fiddle music as they paddled, provided by local fiddlers, Guy Jamieson and and his son, Rob Jamieson.

Paddlers had numerous opportunities to see many bird species, including belted kingfishers, mallard ducks, Canada geese, and great blue herons, as well as turtles and other wildlife and vegetation along the river.

EE FR TAKE

Paddler Susan Nagy of Toronto, said, “My husband and I decided to participate in the paddle with no real expectations. We enjoyed a couple of hours of companionship, surrounded by the beauty of the river, its foliage and waterfowl. We would happily sign up again. Kudos to the organizers!”

Paddlers were shuttled to the putin by Schauer’s busline of Eganville, and Madawaska River Rentals of Quadeville provided those without canoes, rental choices.

ON

C

Thanks also go out to Gerry and Suzanne Scheer who provided access and prepared a put-in location for the 45 watercraft.

After the excursion, paddlers enjoyed a summertime BBQ and musical entertainment provided by Intensity from Barry’s Bay, at the Bonnechere Caves.

The next partnered paddle is scheduled for Aug. 9, on the Madawaska River from Cherry Point Park near Calabogie to the Burnstown beach
