Ontario Little League Minor Provincial Championships in Renfrew July 30 to Aug. 3. Angie Fraser is the secretary for the Renfrew Minor Baseball board and the Ontario District 8 board, she says the Renfrew Blue Sox are very exREGION REGION cited for the tournament. The 13-member team has been practicing a lot this summer and is very excited to hit the field. “They have gelled nicely,” said Fraser. “They are playing well as a team.” They played three.COMgames last week and won one game and lost two in the playdowns. As host the Blue Sox have secured their spot in the championship. Fraser encourages everyone to come and cheer on the team. “The kids need the support,” said Fraser. “To my knowledge this is only the second time a Renfrew team has made it to provincials, so the town should come out and support them.” Jo-anne Caldwell, recreation program developer with the town thinks the tournament is an excellent opportunity to showcase what the town has. All of the games will be played at Ma-Te-Way Park and she also hopes the town comes out and supports them. “All the residents of Renfrew and area should come out and cheer them on,” said Caldwell. Caldwell hopes the team enjoys the experience. “I wish them all success and I hope they have fun.” The opening ceremonies start on July 30 at 8:30 a.m. For a full schedule see pages 44 and 45.

Renfrew council has authorized staff to proceed with plans to install sanitary servicing to properties on the south side of O’Brien Road from Haramis Park to the former railway right-of-way. Design work will be fast tracked, the project will be included in the current development charges bylaw review, negotiations will begin with affected property owners and tenders for construction will be issued. The properties that will benefit from the services include land owned by the town, as well as four additional properties, including the site of a proposed new site for the Renfrew Animal Hospital. The proposal consists of a new 2,200-square-foot building on O’Brien Road across from the vacant lot beside Tim Hortons. Veterinarian and owner Dr. Don Clarke was at council July 12. The estimated cost of the project is $308,200, which will be recovered through development charges and municipal land sales. This situation is unique in the fact that properties benefitting from the services include land owned by the town, say officials. “The portion of the costs allocable to the town-owned property is $197,400 with the balance of $110,800 to be recovered from the other four properties. Several funding options were presented to council. The chosen method was to use the wastewater portion of accumulated lot development charges. “Lot development charges have been accumulated over the last several years, to the point where the wastewater portion of the accumulated reserve is $335,000 as of Dec. 31, 2015,” says the report. “The reserve will

be replenished through future lot development charges.” Dr. Clarke had sought permission to construct on private sewer service and connect to municipal water. However, this servicing arrangement does not respect the Ministry of the Environment servicing hierarchy and is not consistent with the town’s official plan. PROCESS

The typical process is that servicing is the developer’s responsibility. “In this case, Dr. Clarke evaluated the cost of bringing services to the one property and because we have to go under the road and deal with utilities, the cost is in excess of $100,000,” explained director of development and works Mike Asselin. The services will benefit the adjoining undeveloped land as well, say officials. Dr. Clarke will pay his $30,000 development charge up front while owners of adjacent lands will be responsible for paying them when the land is developed. “I feel this project is in a sense a no-brainer in that it’s a win-win for Renfrew. We have a parcel that is vacant land that is 4.7 hectares that once this project is completed makes it a very marketable piece of real estate,” said Coun. Mike Coulas, chair of the development and works committee. The servicing should facilitate development for other businesses, including fast food restaurants. “Not to mention the fact that we have a property owner that has purchased that property the better part of two years ago now and has still not been able to develop it,” he added. Dr. Clarke has on several occasions expressed his desire to proceed with the project and discontent with the town for dragging its feet on the issue, said Coulas.

Horton meeting added to county’s official plan sessions

DEREK DUNN/METROLAND

Minor injuries A rear-ender on Castleford Road at Highway 417 resulted in minor injuries, according to OPP. The collision happened at about 10:30 a.m. on Monday, July 25. Rescue crews included firefighters, who had prepared for extracation. None was needed.

The County of Renfrew has added a Horton meeting to its series of public input sessions in August on the updating of its official plan.

It will be the seventh and final meeting in the series that also includes sessions in McNab-Braeside, Calabogie, Eganville and Cobden. The open houses are intended to inform the public on proposed changes included in the five-year review of the official plan.

Customer performed CPR before paramedics arrived for Walmart cardiac arrest victim Staff

A customer who performed CPR on a 49-yearold Walmart employee on the job July 14 in Renfrew is underscoring the importance of CPR training and the need for automated external defibrillators (AEDs). In an earlier story, The Renfrew Mercury reported that upon arrival, Renfrew County paramedics performed CPR and advanced life support on the patient, who had suffered a cardiac arrest and collapsed. CPR STARTED

Ryan MacKenzie has since reported that before paramedics arrived, he was the one who initiated CPR after hearing employees call for help. In correspondence to the Mercury, MacKenzie expressed his concern that no CPR-trained staff were available and that there is no automated external defibrillator (AED) on-site. “I have been first aid/CPR certified for at least 30 years, and started CPR. I kept asking for the AED and after much confusion I was eventually informed that they did not have one. I performed CPR for several minutes, managing to get some erratic breathing and a weak pulse twice,” said MacKenzie. “Unfortunately, that did not last and I had to continue CPR. At no time did an employee assist with CPR. Eventually the paramedics arrived and worked on him for several minutes, finally managing to establish a pulse. He was then transported to the hospital.” FIRST TIME

The fact that his role in the incident has not been reported is concerning, said MacKenzie. “The article has put me in an odd position. Being the first time I’ve ever had to do CPR, I told numerous friends and family about my experience. Since the article in the Mercury and online, I keep getting messages from people wondering why I said that performed CPR on the man when the article indicates that the paramedics initiated it. It made me appear to have lied to my friends, family, and to people that they shared the story with. I’m tired of trying to explain why your printed and online article didn’t mention that a customer – me - had to come forward and do CPR until the paramedics

arrived.” MacKenzie stresses the importance of proper training. “I wish that more people would take the first aid/ CPR course. It’s only one day out of one’s life and the skills learned could be used to give life back to someone,” he said. “I was the only person to come forward when they called for help, despite the dozens of people in the immediate vicinity. It was a very lonely feeling.” He praises paramedics for saving the man’s life and the employees for calling for someone who could provide the much-needed CPR. The man is reportedly recovering following surgery at the Ottawa Heart Institute.

Stand up to cancer at July 29 fundraiser for Amanda Elmlinger Sherry Haaima sherry.haaima@metroland.com

A local fundraiser is being planned for Friday, July 29 to help Amanda Elmlinger of Douglas, who for the past year has been battling a rare form of cancer. Elmlinger, a mother of four, has G.I.S.T. (Gastro-Intestinal Stromal Tumour Cancer). “I met Amanda years ago, when she was working as a personal support worker to my late mother. I got to see firsthand what

a kind, generous, caring positive person she is to everyone she meets,” said friend Jenny Johnston. “She is the type of person who is there when you need her and goes above and beyond. Even now Amanda is assisting her friends who need help with errands on a regular basis. My family and I are so lucky to call Amanda a friend.” The fundraiser is being billed as a Shop Aid Cancer Fundraiser. It will take place on the grounds of Pura Vida Nurtition Store at 267 Stewart St. in Renfrew from 1-6 p.m.

Zoning approval change for house on Prince Avenue Sherry Haaima sherry.haaima@metroland.com

A property owner in Renfrew has been given approval for zoning that will allow him to turn a house at 23 Prince Ave. East into a business office. David Barr requested a zoning change from Residential One to Downtown Commercial for his property. Council approved the request July 12. PARKING

Parking accommodations include room for three vehicles - one barrier-free space and a fourth within the detached garage, explained town planner Ivan Burton. “We want to make sure these commercial businesses do promote recycling so there will be some recycling as well as garbage features within the detached garage,” said Burton. The change is in keeping with Provincial Policy Statement and the Official Plan, said Burton. Councillors applauded the move. Reeve Peter Emon said the move makes sense long-term. “As the downtown area changes and becomes full, those three arteries (Lochiel, Argyle and Plaunt) will also become part of the downtown,” he said. “This makes a lot of sense to me and I’m glad to see it.” OFFICIAL PLAN REVIEW

The County of Renfrew will provide consulting services for an upcoming review for the Town of Renfrew’s official plan. Council awarded the job to the county’s planning division in the amount of $18,200.70 – the town will be responsible for

40 per cent ($7,280.42) and the county will be responsible for 60 per cent ($10,920.42) due to an agreement between the upper and lower-tier municipalities. The planning act requires a review of the official plan every five years. Renfrew’s official plan is available on the town website. FIRE HALL ROOF

Council awarded the tender for replacement of the roof on the Renfrew fire hall to Adanac Roofing at a cost of $52,000. In addition to construction costs, there are design specifications and quality assurance and contract administration costs. The proposed total expenditure if $59,946.82, which exceeds the budget by $7,946.82. The $52,000 was included in the 2016 capital budget but the overrun will have to be recovered through savings in other capital items or from operations. “We did have and are experiencing right now some water penetration,” said recreation director Kevin Hill. RECONSTRUCTION DESIGN

Council awarded the tender for engineering design and construction management for the reconstruction of Baldwin Street and possibly Ross Street, if funds permit, to EXP Consulting Engineers. The project design will be fast-tracked for completion of construction in 2016. Cost of engineering services $45,640 plus HST. Baldwin from Mason to Ready has been identified in the project and the development and works committee requested Ross Street from Thompson to Arnprior be included in the design and be costed out to proceed to construction, if funds allow.

Calabogie fireworks on July 30 There will be fireworks in Calabogie this summer after all. The Canada Day show has been re-scheduled to Saturday, July 30 and will be set off at dusk over Calabogie Lake. The Township of Greater Madawaska is advising boaters to stay well back. As well if a level two-fire ban is in effect

fireworks will not take place. The fun starts on Madawaska Street at 7 p.m. The Lions Club will have its beer garden running, there will be music, hot dogs, chips and pop sold by St. Andrew’s United Church. For more information contact the township: 613-752-2222.

On offer will be a fine selection of quality new and gently used items, including purses, books, clothing, shoes, movies, music and more. A silent auction will be part of the activities, as well. “I know Renfrew residents have big hearts and I hope you take this opportunity to shop the donated quality new and used books, purses, clothing, shoes, movies and silent auction items,” said Johnston. Funds raised will help Elmlinger pursue

alternative therapies. Johnston is pleased with the response she’s received from local businesses, in particular about contributions to the silent auction. “Everyone’s been very generous and kind,” she said. In case of rain, the event will be held at the same location the following day, July 30, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more information or to make a contribution, call 432-9620. Cash donations can also be made at Pura Vida before the event.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Sports will win out I

t’s always easier to be cynical than to expect the best of a challenging situation. And the upcoming Olympics in Brazil certainly poses challenges. The threat of the Zika virus is prompting some athletes to drop out. There are questions about security and pollution. And the thought of Russian secret service agents creeping around in the dark, replacing little bottles of tainted urine with little bottles of clean urine is laughable. That’s no way to boost the image of international sports or celebrate the spirit of honest competition. Despite all the bad news, the stories of the dedicated amateur athletes who work hard for a chance to take on the world is what really matters. Athletes from here in Eastern Ontario and across the country are getting ready to head south to Rio. And when the moment comes, when the competition begins, they will inspire us. The look of enthusiasm and pure joy on the face of Rosie MacLennan, Canada’s flag bearer at the Olympics, momentarily outshines any negative aspects of the international competition that now features all the angst revolving around banning Russian athletes for illegal drug use. So does the attitude of our Valley’s favourite runner, Melissa Bishop, whose unbridled joy (“I’m going to Rio,” she exclaimed as she won her qualifying race) can’t help but make Canadians, especially those from the rural areas, proud. And then there’s the excitement of Dunrobin canoeist Cameron Smedley, who overcame the disappointment of being a last minute cut from Canada’s team for the London

Olympics, to persevere and earn a berth four years later. MacLennan, Bishop, Smedley: their efforts and emotions – along with the determination and commitment of their fellow Olympians – will cross the finish line way ahead of the intrigue and frustration caused by a scandal that athletes have been complaining about for years. LEVEL PLAYING FIELD

Honest athletes can look forward to finally being vindicated and compete in the Olympics the way they should be able to – on a level playing field. After all of the noise created by so many concerns has died down, athletes will once more find themselves alone with their thoughts, tensing muscles and saying silent prayers as they spend those last few seconds waiting for their turn to test their training and motivation. Any negativity encountered in Rio is just one more hurdle to sail over. The Olympics, throughout history, have featured everything from a showcase for a blossoming Nazi Germany in 1936 to a glimpse of modern terrorism tactics in the Munich massacre during the 1972 Summer Olympics. The human spirit has been forced to wear one worrying set of clothes after another throughout history, but through all of the costume changes the individual athletes still manage to wear their own colours when it’s their time to shine. The Rio Olympics will be no different. Canadian athletes of every stripe will still compete with pride and passion when their moment in the spotlight arrives.

Man facing sex assault charges out on bail Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

A Renfrew man charged with drugging, assaulting a woman is out on bail. The 22-year-old can no longer be named due to a court-imposed publication ban meant to protect the complainant. But on July 21 he was released on $1,000 bail. He faces several charges related to sexual assault after Renfrew OPP was notified on July 14. Police believe more victims may exist; they urge others to come forward.

The investigation began when a victim reported to officers that a male known to her, sexually assaulted her in late June. He was then arrested and charged with sexual assault and overcoming resistance by administering a drug. He was held in custody until his first appearance on July 18. He next appears in Renfrew court on Wednesday, Aug. 17, at 9:30 a.m. Victims or witnesses can speak with officers by calling 1-888310-1122. Detective Const. Philip Holmes is the lead investigator.

Buyer beware: OPP The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) along with several other detachments are investigating complaints into a business in Renfrew County accepting payments and not providing the goods paid for. Consumers are often looking for a great deal, but some deals are truly too good to be true. The old saying buyer beware is valid. To protect yourself from businesses that may be less than credible, the OPP suggests following some, or all, of these best practices: • Contact the Better Business

Bureau, Consumer Affairs Office or the Competition Bureau about a business or seller you wish to deal with. Check to see if any complaints have been lodged against the business. • Do not send the full amount of payment for the product or service before receiving anything. Reputable businesses ask for a down payment, not the full amount up front. • When buying anything online keep copies of all communications and transactions. Only pay using secure sites.

OPP reminder on uses of 9-1-1 The Upper Ottawa Valley Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) continue to receive calls made to 9-1-1 that should have never been made. The public is reminded that 9-1-1 is for police, fire, or medical emergencies when someone’s health, safety or property is in jeopardy or a crime is in progress. Misuse and abuse of 9-1-1 could result in a slower response to a real emergency, risking the safety of people who may need urgent help. The OPP reminds you that the toll-free number 1-888-310-1122 is available 24/seven for non-emergency calls for service in Ontario. It is the OPP’s policy to dispatch an officer to every identifiable location of every 9-1-1 call to ensure the safety of the person who made the call. As such, cell phone users are requested to help reduce the number of 9-1-1 pocket dials by keeping their cell phone in a holster and/or making sure the keypad is locked. People should also be aware that they have the option to report select occurrences to police from the convenience of a computer or mo-

bile device. Using the Citizen Self Reporting system, specific incidents can be reported online at your convenience without attending a detachment or waiting for an officer. The system can be used to report: • Theft Under $5000 • Mischief / Damage to Property Under $5,000 • Mischief / Damage to Vehicle Under $5,000 • Theft from Vehicle • Lost / Missing Property Under $5,000 • Stolen Licence plates or validation stickers • Driving complaints Do not use this system if it is an emergency or if you are reporting a crime in progress. If it is an emergency or crime in progress, call 9-11. In non-emergency situations people can report incidents to the OPP by calling 1-888-310-1122 to report a crime and have an officer attend. Please visit www.opp.ca/reporting for further information about the Citizen Self Reporting system or to determine if your occurrence qualifies for online reporting.

From PMS to Menopause …the journey of womanhood MENOPAUSE

Today, I’ve promised to talk a little more about menopause. They say that in a state of true health, menopause is just a natural change to a state where menstruation stops and a woman is unable to have children.While during the first year or two some minor hormonal imbalances may happen in form of hotflashes, these should take their flow and dissappear naturally on their own. Menopause usually occurs for woman between 45- 55 years of age. Many though, have excessive symptoms either during the period of the natural change or even prior or way beyond what is considered normal and natural. Some woman are plagued with such heavy and painful menses, that they are bed ridden or afraid of leaving the house or getting up from a seat, as they have such a gushing flow that can easily soil their clothes. Of course this brings forth also the issue of loosing so much blood and iron that many now suffer from extreme tiredness. I am specialized in helping people get back on their feet, reduce the heaviness of their periods and make sure their body gets back to a natural process of the “change over years”. Other woman may feel that they have lost their libido in general or partiicularly because of vaginal dryness - another common by-product of menopause. In order to continue to have a wonderful relationship and continuous intimacy with your partner, without any menopausal disruption, I have some great natural alternatives to lubricants. So many woman, sexually active or not, have raved about the healing affects of this ointment, which you make yourself at home. And for others they may suffer unbearable hotflashes. Can you imagine how it feels to have to change your clothes or your bed covers all the time? Not even to mention how that might impact your snuggle time with your hubby. In these rather extreme cases many woman are very embarrassed, particularly when they go out and know others will see their soaking wet hair or even worse if their clothes are drenched. I know many woman personally who have been so inhibited over the years by their hotflashes that they withdraw from their social life and mainly stay home. Please don’t do this to yourself. Even if you think you have tried everything, there is something we can do for you. PMS is another challenge for many woman and my Heilkunst treatment has helped many woman over the last decade to deal with their emotions and overwhelm. Call me and let’s talk!

GRAND ROUNDS 9th Annual Dedicated to Memories for a Good Cause The Crystal Gillan Memorial Golf Tournament was initiated in 2008 in memory of a very special person. The event brings together family, friends and the community for a fun day. Crystal was a nurse at RVH for close to seven years and over $30,000.00 has been directed to patient care and services in her honour. “The hospital was the place that Crystal worked and has been a hub of the community in which we’ve grown up. Everyone involved in this tournament has, in some way, benefited from its existence. The care being provided is second to none and we would like to help keep it that way,” say tournament organizers Chad Gillan (Crystal’s brother) and Michael Hunter. Each year the tournament has a theme from movies and television shows to wrestling and western wear. The theme for this year’s event, which takes place on July 23, is bands. Golfers don costumes and decorate their carts to

set the mood for the day—something they are sure would make Crystal happy. “Events for the hospital are always appreciated, and when it is in memory of a valued staff member that makes it more special. There are always smiling faces on tournament day and that is a real tribute to Chad and Michael. At RVH the wall of remembrance has a smiling photo of Crystal with a quote that speaks volumes about what this event celebrates,” notes Barb Desilets, RVH Foundation Executive Director. “We are so often caught up in our destination that we forget to appreciate the journey, especially the goodness of people we meet along the way. Appreciation is a wonderful feeling, don’t overlook it.” On behalf of RVH and all those who benefit from the support, our heartfelt appreciation to Chad and Michael, the supporters, and all those who help out behind the scenes of the Crystal Gillan Memorial Golf Tournament.

Tournament organizers sport their western attire.

Cubs descend on Hurd’s Lake Scott Campbell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

The road down to Camp Legewade is an adventure in itself. It’s narrow, bumpy and lots of curves, but the view of Hurd’s Lake at the end makes the drive worthwhile. Cub Scouts from Renfrew, Cobden, Eganville and Petawawa arrived for the annual Cub camp on July 17. The camp was blessed with mostly sunny, warm weather for the next five days. Renfrew Scouts Group commissioner Susan Fleming, said there were about 25 youngsters involved from the ages of 7 to 11 at the Cub camp. The Cubs were able to experience every-

thing from fishing and swimming to canoeing (or kayaking, if they had a watercraft badge) and crafts at the lakeside camp. The cubs were treated to a guest night, campfires and a sponge-fight as their finale activity. They ate hamburgers, hotdogs and even had a pork roast. The camp also includes cabin inspections and cubs get scored on it. The cabin with the highest points received a $5 gift card to Wal-Mart. Cubs are one level of Scouts Canada, which also consists of Beavers, Scouts, Venturing and Rover Scouts. Fleming said she believes that Hurd’s Lake is one of the last locations in the country to still have a campsite operated by Scouts Canada.

How should McNabBraeside develop, township asks public John Carter

john.carter@metroland.com

McNab-Braeside residents have until this Sunday, July 31 to fill out a survey that will help shape the township’s efforts in promoting economic and population growth within its borders. The Economic Development Survey is available online and at the municipal office. The response from residents and anyone else who feels they have a stake in the township’s growth will help guide the fledgling McNab-Braeside economic development committee, and council, as it works on strategies and priorities. The preamble to the survey notes the committee is seeking to ensure the township is heading in the right direction when it comes to economic development. Some people suggest the committee should encourage larger industry and more major subdivisions, while others recommend it focus on development in such areas as tourism and homebased service businesses. The survey asks such

questions as what are the ideal lot sizes for new homes, what is the optimum population for the township in 10 years, what type of businesses should and shouldn’t be encouraged, what should the municipality do to help farmers, and what recreational programs and events should be promoted. “We would like your input on how things are going and where you would like to see the township headed,” says the committee. “Please take a few minutes and let us know where you would like your economic development committee to focus their time and effort.” The terms of reference of the committee, which is chaired by Lori Hoddintot, states that it shall provide advice, guidance and assistance to council and municipal staff “in areas by which the committee’s involvement can benefit the overall prosperity of the municipality.” The survey will be available to be filled out online at mcnabbraeside. com until 11:59 p.m. on July 31.

RVH

GROWING FORWARD

July 2016 • In partnership with the Renfrew Mercury

Creating a welcoming and user-friendly environment As part of the ongoing redevelopment project at RVH, the main corridor will be upgraded. Planned improvements will go beyond asthetics to incorporate accessibility and standards that must be met. Those standards range from signage (height and font) to floor finishes (colour and pattern), and door sensors (time for someone to get through using a walker). “As a hospital we’re doing a good job, but there’s always room to improve,” says Denise Dominy, Chair of RVH’s Accessibility Committee.

The Patient and Family Advisory Committee (PFAC) was also involved in a discussion to provide input from a patient/family perspective.

Among the upgrades, which are planned to start in August, lighting, flooring and wayfinding signage are among the details that will enhance the experience of patients, family, visitors and staff. “The Accessibility Committee works hard to ensure that everyone who comes to RVH is able to navigate easily throughout our facility as soon as they enter through our gates,” says Dominy.

Unprecedented support from major Renfrew manufacturer

When local Scapa employees were presented with an opportunity to support RVH and have their fundraising efforts matched by their organization, there was absolutely no hesitation.

“We are very proud of our involvement in Renfrew,” says Scapa CEO Heejae Chae about this partnership, and 100 percent participation from staff at the facility. Chae and members of the Senior Executive team from Scapa were in town in late June to present the first

$60,000 instalment of their 5-year pledge to RVH. The company has committed to match employee giving at a five-to-one ratio, and is on track to generate up to $300,000.

There are only two other strategic partners supported by Scapa as part of their CSR: a cancer centre based in Manchester, England, and the Boston Children’s Hospital.

The cause has been recognized because of its importance to the health of employees and their families, and falls in line with Scapa’s proactive Corporate Service Relationship (CSR), says Chae.

“There is a clear linkage between what the hospital does for this community and ourselves,” notes Chae, adding that everyone who is involved with the local plant knows someone who relies on the services provided at RVH. “There is a direct impact on everyone here.”

On behalf of RVH management and staff and all those who will benefit from the support, our thanks to everyone who donated locally and to Scapa for their support.

Make RVH your charity of choice. Please call the RVH Foundation office at 613-432-4851 ext. 263, or visit us online at www.renfrewhosp.com to learn more about how you can contribute to the RVH difference.

Stay off the CP rail corridor, county tells residents Staff

Since the CP rail lines have been ripped out throughout Renfrew County, the corridor has become a popular route for a variety of recreationalists despite efforts by the company to keep people away. The County of Renfrew is reminding resident that even though it has taken over the rail line in the anticipation of developing it as a future recreation trail, it doesn’t mean the corridor is open to the public. In a new release Monday, the county stressed that the route remains closed to ensure public safety.

After the rails were removed, CP Rail put up signage, dug trenches and erected berms along the line in an effort to deter people from using it. However, many users continue to ignore the signs and go around the barricades. Hikers, ATVers, dog-walkers, bicyclists, dirt bikers and joggers are frequently seen using the route. However, people should wait until the plan for the corridor is finalized, says the county. County staff are currently undertaking a safety review and inspection of the entire corridor. It will include the temporary removal of berms on the route. “We ask for the public’s patience

as we continue to work through the acquisition process and the creation of a CP Trail Management Plan,” said County of Renfrew CAO Jim Huttion. “The corridor is not open to the public and it remains closed at this time to ensure the safety of our residents.”

Public meetings are being planned in the fall of this year to gather input from residents on who should be allowed to use the corridor. Renfrew County, Lanark County and the Township of PapineauCameron formed a partnership

in 2011 and recently signed a lease and donation agreements to acquire ownership of the 296-kilometre abandoned CP Rail between Smiths Falls and Mattawa. Renfrew county’s portion of the corridor runs from the Arnprior/Ottawa border in the south to the Renfrew/Mattawa border in the North. The intent is to work with local municipalities, the public and other partners to develop the multi-use trail.

NOTICE OF OPEN HOUSE AND PUBLIC MEETING FIVE YEAR COUNTY OF RENFREW OFFICIAL PLAN REVIEW (AMENDMENT #25) TUESDAY, AUGUST 23, 2016 AT THE HORTON COMMUNITY CENTRE PURSUANT TO THE PLANNING ACT, TAKE NOTICE THAT THE COUNTY OF RENFREW WILL BE HOLDING AN OPEN HOUSE AND PUBLIC MEETING ON THE FIVE YEAR REVIEW OF THE COUNTY OF RENFREW OFFICIAL PLAN The County of Renfrew is updating its Official Plan. An official plan is a policy document that guides the physical growth, use of land and development of a community. The Ontario Planning Act requires an official plan to be reviewed and updated at five year intervals to ensure it meets the needs of the community, has regard to provincial interests (e.g., protecting ecological systems, conservation of mineral aggregate resources, appropriate locations of growth and development), and is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS). The proposed updated Official Plan affects all lands within the County and therefore a location map is not provided. The five year review of the County of Renfrew Official Plan will eventually result in changes to the Official Plan by way of an amendment to the document (Official Plan Amendment No. 25 is the assigned number for this purpose). The County of Renfrew is responsible for preparing and adopting Official Plan Amendment No. 25 and the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) is responsible for approval of the amendment. A draft of the highlighted and strikethrough version of the proposed updated April 2016 Official Plan (including all map schedules) has been prepared for discussion purposes and is available on the County of Renfrew website at http://www.countyofrenfrew.on.ca/departments/development-and-property/planning-and-land-division/ official-plans-and-amendments/ A copy can also be viewed at the County of Renfrew Administration Building located at 9 International Drive in Pembroke, or at any local municipal office. To engage, inform and seek input from County residents on the proposed changes to the Official Plan, an open house and public meeting will be held on TUESDAY, AUGUST 23, at the HORTON COMMUNITY CENTRE, 1055 CASTLEFORD ROAD, RENFREW, ONTARIO. 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. (OPEN HOUSE) – County staff will be available to meet, speak, and answer questions one-on-one with residents. 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. (FORMAL PUBLIC MEETING) – The meeting will begin with a presentation by County Staff on the Official Plan and the proposed changes. After the presentation any persons may provide oral submissions regarding the proposed changes. (It is requested that oral submissions be no more than 5 minutes.) If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting, or make written submissions to the County of Renfrew before the proposed Official Plan amendment is adopted, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing to the Ontario Municipal Board. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting, or make written submissions to the County of Renfrew before the proposed Official Plan amendment is adopted, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or the public body as a party. Written comments can also be submitted at any time before the adoption of the Official Plan Amendment by emailing them to officialplan@countyofrenfrew.on.ca or by writing to us at: County of Renfrew Planning Division 9 International Drive Pembroke ON K8A 6W5 If you wish to be notified of the adoption of the proposed Official Plan Amendment, or if you require further information, please make a written request to the email or mailing address noted above. NOTE: All comments and submissions received will become part of the public record. The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, July 28, 2016 15

The squirrel that would be a bird When we think of animals that fly, birds immediately come to mind. They are undeniably the masters of flight, using their wings to traverse continents and even oceans. But other animals have also conquered the air. Myriad insects, some with two wings, others with four, have long shed their terrestrial shackles. And bats allow mammals to be included in the airborne category. However, other animals move through the air without the benefit of wings. The other night, highpitched squeaks arose from a tree in our yard. I quietly moved beside the tree from which the sound had arisen. Several minutes passed and finally a small form scrambled down the trunk and climbed onto a peanut feeder that hung from a lower branch. The creature took a few mouthfuls of peanuts before it ran back up the tree. A moment later from high up the tree its shadowy form drifted down through the

air and over to the base of a nearby tree. The animal scampered up the trunk and a moment later again glided through the air, this time back to the peanut feeder tree. The animal was, of course, a Flying Squirrel. Flying Squirrels do not actually fly. Rather, they glide with the aid of loose skin that lies between their legs. When they take to the air, they stretch out their legs creating a sail with the skin that lies between them. Their journey is silent apart from a soft scratching

generated on landing. There are two species of Flying Squirrels in our area. Northern Flying Squirrels are about the size of a Red Squirrel and have a gray base to their belly fur. Southern Flying Squirrels are smaller, about the size of an Eastern Chipmunk, and own belly fur that is pure white to the base. Both species have flat tails that act as rudders, and are strictly nocturnal, spending the day hidden inside tree cavities. Large eyes help them see in dim light and it has been speculated that just like bats they use sonar to help them navigate through the dark. My visitors (three were coming to the feeder) were Southern Flying Squirrels. They were so approachable that I thought they might take peanuts from my hand, but they did not. One seemed to mistake my leg for a trunk and briefly brushed against it when it glided down from an adjacent tree. Southern Flying Squirrels

seem to be expanding their range northward, even appearing in Algonquin Park during years of population peaks, an expansion that has been attributed to global warming. Because Southern Flying Squirrels carry a parasite that is harmless to themselves but fatal to Northern

Flying Squirrels, this range expansion may have serious consequences. A couple of evenings ago another unusual sound arose from our backyard. This one had a rising, raspy quality, and was quickly ascertained to be the begging-for-food cries of a young Barred Owl.

It soon became apparent that there were two young owls present. Which may not a good thing for our Southern Flying Squirrels. They just happen to be a favourite meal of Barred Owls! The Nature Number is 613-387-2503; email is mruntz@start.ca.

Town of Renfrew appoints new Renfrew Hydro Inc. directors Staff

Renfrew Hydro Inc. has a new board of directors. Andy Boldt, a board member since 2006, is the new chair. He is joined by two new directors, Charles (Merv) Beckstead and Bruce Rozycki. The Town of Renfrew is Renfrew Hydro Inc.’s sole shareholder. Mayor Don Eady recently expressed his gratitude to retiring chair Barry Holt for his 15 years of dedicated service and welcomed the new board. “Going forward, we will be well served by a strong and talented board of directors and a staff dedicated to providing safe and reliable power to our residents and businesses at the lowest cost possible,” said Mayor Eady. “Andy Boldt, B.Sc., former vice-president of operations for Scapa North America where he was employed for 24 years, has extensive experience in strategic development, business planning, and implementing major capital projects,” says a Renfrew Hydro press release. “Andy recently completed a maximum nine-year term as director of the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Board, where he was board chair for the past five years.” Boldt, a long-time resident of Renfrew, is an active board member of Renfrew Health, and is a member of the town’s committee of adjustment and planning advisory committee. He is a registered professional engineer in the Province of Ontario. The past year has been one of change for Renfrew Hydro, with the office being moved to a new location on O’Brien Road. Boldt explained a cost of service review, which the Ontario Energy Board requires ev-

ery five years, is underway. “We’ll also be updating our strategic plan,” said Boldt. “There are a lot of capital works in the next five years.” Renfrew Hydro has been around for 100 years, he noted.

“Renfrew Hydro has been able to provide very reliable delivery of power in a very safe manner and do it at significantly less cost than other providers,” said Boldt. “Merv Beckstead, CPA, CMA, former chief administrative officer of the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton, and the City of Nepean brings strong leadership, management, and financial skills acquired over 30 years in the municipal sector, and 10 years in the electricity field,” says the release. Beckstead has served on the County of Renfrew’ compensation review committee, the Town of Renfrew’s sewer and water rate review committee, the Queensway-Carleton Hospital board’s finance committee, the Perley-Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre foundation board and was founding president of the Nepean unit of the Canadian Cancer Society. Rozycki, who studied geodetic sciences at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute in Toronto, gained a wealth of management experience over a 36-year career with Enbridge Gas Distribution, retiring as senior manager, reliability engineering in 2016. “Bruce’s experience includes managing distribution expansion projects, contracts, operations including staffing, organizational change, and asset management,” says the release.

To report suspicious activity or non-urgent requests for police assistance call 1-888-310-1122 or to remain anonymous call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS). Call 911 to report an emergency or crime in progress. “Those who steal and commit these crimes in our community should know we are actively targeting them. In addition to the efforts of police to catch those responsible, we need people to properly secure and safeguard their property to prevent victimization,” said Upper Ottawa Valley Detachment Commander Mark Wolfe.

Centenarian credits long life to positivity and genetics Jessica Cunha Jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Former Renfrew doctor Andrew Mackie credited celebrating his 100th birthday to a positive outlook and good genes. “Quite a bit to genetics and the other I guess, after all these years, I’d have to say positivity – in a nice way, not an aggressive way,” said Mackie. The centenarian and retired medical practitioner is well known for delivering more than 2,000 babies in Renfrew. Mackie grew up in Pembroke and practiced medicine for 20 years in Renfrew from 1944 to 1964. He was a member of the Renfrew Golf Club and played on its Gordon Cup teams. His former home is now a bed and breakfast on Lochiel Street. He was surrounded by family, friends and well-wishers at not one but two parties – one at the Cheshire Cat Pub in West Carleton on July 12 (his birthday) and the other at the Empress Kanata Retirement Residence on July 14. “There were 65 people at my birthday party (at the Cheshire Cat), every one of them a friend,” said Mackie, who’s been living in

the Kanata residence for about 20 years. Mackie wanted to ring the old school bell in the bar at the Cheshire Cat on his 100th birthday, and the restaurant owners were happy to oblige for their regular customer. Two days later the room at the Empress was also filled with friends and family when Mackie was piped to his seat by a bag-piper who heard of his birthday and wanted to participate. Mackie was worried he wouldn’t make friends when he and his wife Sherry moved to Ottawa to be closer to their two daughters, Gail White and Wendy Engel, more than 20 years ago. “We were very nervous about leaving Kitchener,” he said. “I wondered if I’d make any new friends. Well, two weeks after we’d been here we were all enthusiastic about Ottawa.” And his social calendar is filled every week. On Sundays Mackie goes to the Royal Oak for jazz, Tuesdays he visits the Cheshire Cat, Wednesdays are earmarked for the Kiwanis Club, Fridays he goes to the Old Mill at Ashton and once a month a Thursday is reserved for Queens University pub night.

SUBMITTED

Dr. Andrew Mackie thanks his friends for attending a second birthday celebration on July 14 at the Empress Kanata Retirement Residence. It was during a trip to the ByWard Market for pub night that Mackie wound up at the Empress. He tripped while entering the pub and broke his hip. “But it was on the way in,” he laughed. Following an operation, he convalesced at the Empress. “I didn’t leave. This is the most pleasant environment that ever

could be,” said Mackie. “I couldn’t be more contented or appreciative of this place. It’s the staff that make the place.” Mackie studied medicine at Queens University. He interned in general medicine, surgery and obstetrics, before practicing for 20 years in Renfrew. Mackie credits his father for becoming a doctor. “When I finished high school I went out to Jasper Park Lodge for the summer – I had a great time,” said Mackie. “When I came home my father sat me down and said, ‘Son, you’ve finished high school, you’ve have a great summer, what are your plans?’ “I said, ‘Well dad I thought I would go to university and get a degree in commerce and finance and then come home and join you in the insurance business, but my mathematics are so poor I wouldn’t last long.’ “And my father said, ‘Well son, I guess that’s right.’ And there was a long pause. He said, ‘Son, why don’t you think about medicine?’ “Now I can still hear myself. My enthusiastic reply was, ‘Gee dad I guess that’d be alright.’” It turned out to be the right move. A year before he finished

his studies, Mackie was working in Peterborough, when a patient was rushed in for an emergency appendix operation. “I was sent up to the room to do a blood count. I took the finger, I pricked it, got a drop of blood and went down and did the blood count,” said Mackie. “And a year and a half later we were married. “Sherry, she made my life,” he said. Following Mackie’s graduation, the two moved from Peterborough to Renfrew, where he worked in general medicine for 20 years. After he retired in 1964, the office nurse gathered the records and tallied how many babies he delivered over the course of his career. “I was staggered. I found out the number was 2,071,” said Mackie. “It’s unbelievable. I had no idea. It’s staggering. “I never gave any thought to accomplishment. It was just that I did my very, very best for every patient.” His daughter Wendy Engel was at the party on July 14. “We’ve just been blessed to have him for so long,” she said. “Hopefully the family genes mean we have him for a few more years. He’s an outstanding man and father.”

We are in URGENT need of a foster home for Wilma, a beautiful 3 year-old female (spayed) Husky mix. Wilma is high energy, very social and playful with people, and has tested well with children. She is somewhat dog reactive. Due to the high prey drive in most huskies she would be better in a home without cats. Wilma came to us with a partial ACL tear which will require TPLO surgery to stabilize her stifle joint and VAR will schedule this surgery as soon as possible. We would like to see her settled in a home before her surgery so she won’t be stressed out by new people and new surroundings during her post-op period of rest and rehabilitation. All medical bills related to the TPLO surgery and rehab will be covered by VAR. We will be having a Fundraising BBQ at Renfrew Pet Valu on Saturday, July 30th from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. to help raise funds for her surgery, which is estimated at $4,000. You can also donate to help with her surgery at Canada Helps.org and choose Valley Animal Rescue as the charity. We greatly appreciate any amount at all! If you are interested in fostering or adopting Wilma please send us an email at: valleyanimalrescue@hotmail.com with Wilma in the subject line. Donations can be made by email transfer to valleyanimalrescue@hotmail.com or through Canada Helps.

Do you have your OPP warn of fresh garlic yet? prize scam

The Upper Ottawa Valley Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) would like to warn residents of a lottery and prize scam that has recently surfaced in the area. The victim was contacted through the Internet and was advised they had won a large sum of money and in order to collect the winnings they would have to pay a fee. The victim then sent several money orders to Nigeria in hopes of collecting their prize. No prize was ever paid out and the incident was reported to police after it was realized they had fallen victim to a scam.

REMINDER

The OPP would like to remind everyone that legitimate lotteries do not require you to pay a fee or tax to collect winnings. Also, many lottery and prize scams want to trick you into providing your banking and personal information to claim your prize. In fact, the criminals will fraudulently use your personal information to steal your money. If a scam artist contacts you or if you have been defrauded contact your local police service or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 or visit their website at www.antifraudcentre.ca .

Aaron Hitchins and Will O’Brien are featured in the Rockhouse Motion film of Beyond the Roar. The screening is at the O’Brien Theatre in Renfrew on July 31

The friends had dreamt of such a trip but they kept putting it off. O’Brien moved to the Yukon and Hitchins got wrapped up in work. The sudden death of Andrew Brose, a lifelong friend, shook the two up and they decided the adventure was a way to honor Brose’s memory. There will also be a question and answer session after the screening.

Renfrew County Catholic District school board approves $64-million budget Excellence in education and fiscal responsibility are two main features of the 2016-17 $64-million Renfrew County Catholic District School Board (RCCDSB) budget, say trustees. “The board is committed to providing a distinctive Catholic curriculum that seeks to nurture the giftedness, self-worth and potential of each individual student, while aligning with Ministry of Education goals,” board chair Bob Michaud said in a news release. “This budget puts funding where it is most needed to provide the best education possible for all students across our Catholic education system.” The total expenditure for 2016-17 is $64,078,145, while revenue totals $63,490,078. A deficit of $588,067, which represents less than one per cent of total budget, will be covered by board reserves. The board’s theme for 2016–2017 comes from its vision statement, Michaud explained, calling on all students, staff and administration to “make a difference as faith-filled community builders.” Michaud noted that “as a Catholic education system, we strive to teach our students how they can contribute to their communities as mature, respectful citizens and responsible stewards of the world around them. We focus on inclusivity, respect for one another and sustainability of our environment.” Michaud pointed out that RCCDSB students already participate in many social justice projects, from fundraising for various charities to social awareness and environmental activities. “Our efforts in 2016–2017 will enhance this work. Our students will learn how to

Another priority for the board is mathematics instruction. A total of $257,500 will be spent on increasing capacity through professional development to engage students in rich tasks, problem-solving and strong number sense. build lasting and loving connections that make a difference in the communities in which they live.” Technology-enabled learning continues to be a major focus in 2016-17, Michaud said, with $243,384 from the Technology and Learning Fund to be invested. The 21st Century Professional Learning Networks project will extend into its fourth year, providing extensive professional development in technologyenabled learning and dramatically increasing the number of devices available to students.

Another priority for the board is mathematics instruction. A total of $257,500 will be spent on increasing capacity through professional development to engage students in rich tasks, problemsolving and strong number sense. Other priorities include French as a Second Language and Specialist High Skills Majors, as well as a continued partnership with Shaw Woods for outdoor education.

The board also will implement the revised Kindergarten program and the new Kindergarten Assessment and Evaluation document. “We are very proud of the high quality of professionalism among our board and school administration, our teachers, educational assistants, early childhood educators and all support staff,” said Michaud. “They provide our students with rich, challenging programs in safe, caring, joy-filled classrooms and schools, while nurturing their individual giftedness and personal interests.” The Special Education program will continue to be a priority for the Board, despite a continuing deficit. “We are committed to providing our students who have special needs with the opportunity to achieve their best potential,” said Michaud. “At RCCDSB, we strive to nurture the giftedness, selfworth and potential of all our students.” The board’s capital projects for 2016– 2017 include a $2.8-million allotment for renovations, repairs and upgrades at schools across the system including the start of interior library and cafeteria renovations at St. Joseph’s High School in Renfrew. The board will continue to explore measures to enhance pupil safety, health and well-being. The continuing stewardship efforts include the ongoing automation of internal processes to achieve efficiencies across the system. The school board is expanding online payment to include community booking of school properties, as well as eliminating the use of cash to pay for school activities.

Kids need more sleep and physical activity

According to ParticipACTION’s 2016 Report Card For the first time, the 2016 ParticipACTION Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth assigns a grade to sleep and includes new Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Children and Youth. A first of their kind in the world, the guidelines outline what a healthy 24-hour period looks like for children and youth. These guidelines call for at least 60 minutes per day of moderate to vigorous physical activity, no more than two hours a day of recreational screen time, limited sitting for extended periods and at least 9-11 hours of sleep per night for children 5-13, and 8-10 hours for those aged 14-17 years. “Sleep deprivation is becoming a problem for Canadian children and youth, creating a threat to their mental and physical health,” said Dr. Mark Tremblay, chief scientific officer, ParticipACTION Report Card and Director of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario Research Institute’s Healthy Active Living and Obesity Research

Group (CHEO-HALO). “It’s time to take a whole day approach – many kids are too tired to get enough physical activity during the day, and not active enough to be tired at night – it’s a vicious cycle.” For optimal health children and youth need to sweat, step, sleep and sit the right amounts. Only nine per cent of kids get enough heartpumping physical activity and only 24 per cent are meeting screen time guidelines of no more than two hours per day. Plus, in recent decades, children’s nightly sleep duration has decreased by 30 minutes to an hour; 31 per cent of school-aged kids and 26 percent of adolescents in Canada are sleep deprived. In addition to impacting children’s physical activity levels, sleep deprivation has many other health implications. For example, too little sleep can cause hyperactivity, lower IQ scores and produce adverse hormonal changes like those associated with increased risks of obesity, diabetes and hypertension.

For more information on the Report Card, including the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Children and Youth, please visit www.participaction.com/reportcard. In Renfrew County, the Healthy Kids Community Challenge is underway and is delivering programs and activities to support children and youth to be more active and healthy. During the first theme, Run, Jump, Play municipalities across the county were challenged to create physical activity equipment lending hubs and develop an outdoor play space. For more information follow Healthy Kids Renfrew County on Facebook or contact your local municipality for information on lending hubs and outdoor play spaces in your area. For more information about healthy living and physical activity ideas for children, visit the Physical Activity section of the Renfrew County and District Health Unit’s website at www.rcdhu.com or call 613-735-8651 ext. 545.

On June 29, the Renfrew County District School Board (RCDSB) hosted its inaugural ‘Golf Fore Kids’ tournament at the Oaks of Cobden. A total of 64 golfers participated in the daylong event where golfers and nongolfers alike enjoyed lunch, dinner and prizes. “To be able to enjoy the summer weather while raising money for an important cause is a perfect combination,” said RCDSB chair Dave Shields. “I’m very happy with the total number of dollars raised. It highlights the generosity that citizens and businesses in Renfrew County have when it comes time to support causes in their community.” ‘Golf Fore Kids’ was established as a kickoff fundraiser for the new Student Support Fund (SFF) that the board of trustees endorsed this past winter. The mission of the SFF is to provide opportunities for RCDSB students in all our schools across the county by providing financial support. As a registered charity, the SSF is managed by a committee of between five and seven members, including a combination of board staff and community members. There is a minimum of one elementary and one secondary principal or vice principal, one of which acts as the committee chair. Committee members may serve two-year terms and the Chair may serve for two consecutive

terms. Donations from the public and businesses will be used to provide mini grants to schools who distribute them to students. By providing support to students that would normally face challenges due to financial constraints, the SSF is aimed at enhancing the educational outcomes of each student so that we can ultimately improve the health and well-being of each student. These include, but are not limited to, costs associated with extracurricular activities and trips, sports and music equipment and college and university application fees. “Ultimately, I believe that this fund will ensure we have resources available so that students who wouldn’t otherwise be able to participate in activities, can do so,” said Shields. The fund will be overseen by the RCDSB fundraising co-ordinator. “We are currently seeking a community member from the Arnprior area to sit on the committee. Interested individuals should be active leaders in their communities and have strong skills in relationship building/fundraising/event planning. To apply, donate or learn more about the SSF, visit www.pass.rcdsb.on.ca,” said an RCDSB press release.

Kathy and Kevin Marshall of Renfrew have expanded their involvement in the O’Brien theatres to include ownership of the Skylight Drive-In in the Pembroke area. KEVIN MARSHALL/ SUBMITTED

Renfrew couple brings back drive-in good times at Skylight As progress pushes the world forward, a trend has emerged to look back. For many once popular activities, what goes around truly does come around again. The drive-in movie theatre is a great example. In its heyday, almost every town had a drive-in where families gathered and young people enjoyed social outings. But the onset of a multi-media world eventually caused people to turn away from drive-ins and most disappeared. Now a resurgence of retro thinking has brought the spotlight back to the drive-in. People of all ages are flocking to see first-run movies from the comfort of their vehicle. With the latest in digital projection equipment and high-tech audio that plays through car radios, the drive-in has more appeal than a regular theatre. People get the comfort and privacy of their own vehicle. The number of drive-ins is on the rise in Ontario. There are now 24 theatres in Ontario, including in major markets like Toronto, London and Hamilton.

Phone 432-3655 SAND & GRAVEL

In the Upper Ottawa Valley, Renfrew residents Kathy and Kevin Marshall have kept the tradition alive at the Skylight Drive-In at 199 Forest Lee Rd. in the Pembroke area. Originally built in the heyday of drive-in theatres in 1954, the land was severed off farmland owned by the McLaughlin family. Despite setbacks and changes in entertainment habits, Matt McLaughlin continued to operate the drive-in until the Marshalls bought it in 2014. “He actually sold it to me over the phone,” Kevin recalls. “It was refitted and remodeled and opened July 1, 2014, all on a verbal agreement.” As owners of the O’Brien Theatre in Arnprior, Kevin and Kathy have over four decades of theatre operations experience. Kathy has been the general manager at the O’Brien Theatre-Renfrew since 1999, and they are both very enthusiastic drive-In theatre goers. The first order of business was to install a new Christie 2230 digital projector along with the industry standard DoReMi server to get the largest and clearest picture in the Ottawa Valley.

The Skylight Drive-In is open Thursday to Sunday in the spring and fall, and seven nights a week in July and August. Many people come early to visit with friends while their children enjoy the kids’ playground. The concession booth has also been upgraded with a fresh coat of paint and new appliances in the kitchen. “They can make it a picnic with great food from our concession booth. We are very proud of our poutine! The right combination of thick cut fries, fresh curd and delicious gravy,” says Kevin. “Then, relax and enjoy the movie in the comfort of your car on your sound system, with digital clarity in sound and picture. “We are totally committed to providing great family entertainment for a decent price. From as low as $14 for adults and $6 for kids 6 and over, this is the cheapest entertainment around!” As the drive-in’s popularity continues to grow, the Marshalls are considering adding a second screen in years to come. They use the lot for RV and boat storage in the winter months to help offset costs. “We’ll do all we can to run the best drive-

in. With good weather, and community support, the Pembroke Skylight Drive-In should keep this 60-year-old tradition alive for a whole generation to enjoy.” Kevin suggests packing chairs or a blanket to sit on. “You can watch the movie from the inside of your car, but often it is more fun to sit outside of the vehicle. If your back seat pulls out, you can use that as well.” Bring a portable radio and extra batteries to avoid running down your car battery. And don’t forget to bring bug spray and/ or mosquito coils. Kevin suggests keeping your windshield fog-free by cleaning it beforehand and bringing some anti-fog spray used for hockey visors to wipe down the inside before the show starts. The drive-in theatre is one of only three in Eastern Ontario, and the only one in Renfrew County. “People love the nostalgic experience of going to the drive-in. And the picture and sound quality rival any theatre,” Kevin promises. “Drive in for a great night out.”

Emerson tests out Mary’s dislike for mud pout

My dislike for fish, I was sure, would last me a lifetime, and it all had to do with my fear of the many catfish, which we called mud pout, found in great abundance in the Bonnechere River. They were the ugliest creatures I had ever clapped eyes on in my life, and often found their way to our supper table, where, when laid out on the platter, I wouldn’t dare cast an eye, knowing perfectly well, I would be sick as a dog at the very sight. Mother knowing how I hated mud pout, always let me have a boiled egg and toast instead. My three brothers would wander down to the river this time of year, and about once a week, would bring these ugly fish to the chopping block behind the silo, and would have a pail full, ready for Mother to cook up for supper. Emerson knew how I hated mud pout. If I was anywhere near the chopping block, he would hook his finger into the gill of one, and wave it in my direction, smacking his lips and yelling, “Still alive and kickin’, see Mary?” And then he would add, “Can’t wait to sink my teeth into this one.” My stomach would do a flip-flop as I pictured Mother’s big, black iron fry pan, and vision the fish, which to me, seemed to squirm while being cooked. Emerson said the reason they moved in

Mary Cook’s Memories BY MARY COOK

the pan was because they were still alive, which distressed me even further. TO THE LIMIT

The day my hate for mud pout was stretched to the limit was when, once again, a big catch was ready for the fry pan. The brothers had cleaned them and Emerson brought them to the kitchen in a pail. I ate my boiled egg and toast with my eyes half closed, dreading the look of the platter of fish in front of Father’s plate. I couldn’t wait until supper was over, the kitchen redded up, and the table cleared. The smell of fried fish hung in the air like gossamer clouds, and the kitchen was beastly hot as well, to add to my misery. Father had peeled off his plaid shirt, and Emerson went upstairs and came down in his underwear.

I couldn’t wait to crawl into the fresh cool flour bag sheets and hopefully feel a bit of night air come in the window near the bed, and put the thought of the ugly mud pout out of my mind. Usually my brothers complained about going to bed. They always wanted to stay up for just a few minutes longer, but that night, we all climbed the stairs early, hoping to escape the blistering heat of the kitchen. I wasn’t long crawling into my bed, which I shared with my sister Audrey. WET AND SLIMY

And then my feet touched something ... wet and slimy, and I flew out of bed as fast as a bolt of lightning, threw the sheet back, and there, right where my feet landed, was a dead mud pout. I screamed bloody murder; Emerson was rolling on the floor in hysterics, and my sister Audrey was yelling for Mother to come upstairs to see what was causing the uproar. Well, you didn’t have to be a brain surgeon to know how the fish got in my bed. Emerson was still laughing his head off when Mother reached the back bedroom door. She grabbed Emerson by the ear, hauled him downstairs, and ordered him to sleep on the couch in the kitchen and told him to get rid of the mud pout first.

Emerson knew how I hated mud pout. If I was anywhere near the chopping block, he would hook his finger into the gill of one, and wave it in my direction, smacking his lips and yelling, “Still alive and kickin’, see Mary?” It didn’t sound like much of a punishment to me, but Emerson was at least a good foot longer than the couch, it was rock hard, and the kitchen was still as hot as a furnace. I asked Audrey to change the sheets, even though they had been put on fresh that day, and I vowed, even then I could smell mud pout. I finally went to sleep. My dreams that night were of the chopping block, and the ugly mud pout. And long into the night, I thought I could hear Emerson downstairs in the kitchen, laughing his head off!

OPG reminds to be safe this long weekend SUBMITTED

CWL donates to hospice The 95th Catholic Women’s League Diocesan Convention, held in May of this year, chose Hospice Renfrew, as the charity of choice in keeping with the national CWL sub-theme “Palliative and Hospice Care.” A cheque was presented to Hospice Renfrew executive director, Maureen Sullivan-Bentz by Joan Lemay, president of St. Francis Xavier and Darlene Meleskie, president of Our Lady of Fatima CWL councils on June 22.

The mid summer long-weekend is a time to put safety above all else, especially near Ontario Power Generation’s (OPG) hydro dams and stations. Obey the signs, booms, buoys and barriers and stay clear of hydro dams and stations. “Many have heard about or even played the highly popular Pokémon Go game,” said Ted Gruetzner, OPG’s vice president of corporate relations and communications.

“Tracking Pikachu or Jigglypuff might be fun, just don’t do it near any of our generating stations or dams.” In areas surrounding these stations, changing water levels and strong undertows can happen quickly. Disobeying warning signs and barriers is dangerous. Charges can and have been laid in cases where people trespass. “We take safety seriously,” says Gruetzner. Stay Clear, Stay Safe is our message.”

Barb Dillon and Pauline Nolan were part of Mum’s extended family as well as a vital part of her support system. Thank you Barb and Pauline. Thank you to all the wonderful and compassionate health care providers who came to help Mum continue to live at home. Over the years, Mum had many great caregivers provided by several agencies such as; Red Cross, To Care For, CCAC and Bayshore Home Health Care.

We would like to thank Rev Jim Wood for leading the funeral service and providing a heartfelt message of hope for us all; a special thank you to Don Gilmore, Mum’s nephew, who not only took us down memory lane but gave wonderful spiritual guidance and comfort. Thank you to Ron Horton for his beautiful rendering of the hymn - In the Garden. A special thank you to Joanne Gilmore, Mum’s sister in law, who arranged to have the interment service at Horton Cemetery conducted by the Renfrew Salvation Army.

After wowing those attending the McNab Days Scottish Festival last month, the Waba Cottage Museum grounds in White Lake with host the Midsummer Herbfest Sunday, July 31. The Herbfest, which used to be held annually at the Herb Garden near Almonte, has moved to McNab-Braeside this summer. The long-running celebration of healthy living will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the scenic lakeside museum grounds on the outskirts of the Village of White Lake. Founded by the Ottawa Valley Herb Association in 1994, Herbfest quickly became a popular festival for gardeners, nature lovers, environmentalists, artisans, foodies and families. It celebrated its 20th anniversary and final year at the Herb Garden last year. Visitors to Midsummer Herbfest were treated to a wealth of alternative and healthy living inspiration. From culinary treats to the Chef

Cook-Off Challenge, guests were also offered programming rich in demonstrations, educational lectures and garden tours. Artisans and vendors from Ottawa, the Ottawa Valley and the far reaches of Ontario and Québec showcased their wares in the outdoor market, which boasted herbal products, eco-services and healthy living goods and foodstuffs. There’s live music, dancing fairy performers, face painting, herbal tea sampling, henna tattoos and yoga in the gardens. McNab-Braeside is dedicated to continuing and further developing Herbfest and welcomes vendors and attendees. For more information about Herbfest, or to just to become a vendor, contact township recreation director Geoff Patterson at recreation@mcnabbraeside.com or connect with the museum on Facebook at https://www.facebook. com/WabaCottageMuseumGardens/.

Muskrat Watershed Council receives donations from SRB Technologies (Canada) Inc. The Muskrat Watershed Council (MWC) has received two funding commitments from SRB Technologies (Canada) Inc. One portion of SRBT’s donation ($2,000) will provide for half the cost of MWC’s report on 2015 water quality monitoring data. This second annual report will provide analysis of water sampling data, draw comparisons to 2014 results and consider new solutions for Muskrat Lake and its watershed. SRBT will also make a donation of $1,000 to support the MWC’s ongoing work for 2016-17. SRBT is now one of the first Gold Level Corporate & Club members of the Muskrat Watershed Council. Twenty-dollar personal memberships have provided core support for MWC’s operations since 2014. As its work in the watershed continues to expand to include annual water sampling, shoreline buffers and controlled tile drainage projects planned for 2016, MWC is seeking to grow partnerships and fundraising support through the addition of Corporate & Club Memberships. Over the last two years, local businesses and community groups have supported MWC in many ways including in-kind contributions of time and services, door prizes and cash donations. MWC is now seeking Corporate & Club Members to work with us in support of a healthy watershed for the future. Corporate & Club members of the Muskrat Watershed Council, will be recognized at the following donation levels each year: Gold $1,000 and up

Silver $500 $999 Bronze $200-$499 Friend of MWC - $20 - $199 Membership donations will be directed towards projects, research and operations of MWC – wherever funds are needed most. Gold level Corporate & Club Members have the opportunity to work with MWC to direct all or part of their donation toward key areas of research, community outreach and best management projects in the watershed. All Corporate & Club Members, like SRBT, will be recognized on the MWC website, in social media, newsletters and at events such as MWC’s Annual General Meeting held each August. SRB Technologies (Canada) Inc. is the world’s leading manufacturer of self-luminous safety lighting, such as emergency exit signs for buildings and aircraft. SRBT has been in operation in Pembroke for over 25 years, and currently employs more than 45 hard-working residents of Pembroke and the surrounding area. As a licenced nuclear substance processing facility, the protection of the environment is an important goal driving SRBT’s operations. SRBT is proud to support the work of the MWC, for the benefit of the community and the watershed.
