Renfrew Industrial Commission chair irate with mayor Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Renfrew Industrial Commission (RIC) chairman Mack Wilson is mad at Renfrew Mayor Bill Ringrose, and he has said so in a terse letter written last week to Ringrose.

The letter was discussed at the July 25 meeting of the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village (RAHSV), but no official action was taken, since only five members were in attendance, or one short of a quorum.

The July 21 letter was copied to Renfrew council and RAHSV chairman Raye-Anne Briscoe.

The letter asks Ringrose to produce the council resolution that allows town council to assume a rental agreement, formerly held by the Renfrew Industrial Commission, for business facilities of Deslaurier Custom Cabinets at 550 Hall Ave. In the letter, Wilson refers to the June 25, 2014 termination of the head lease between the Renfrew Industrial Commission and Deslaurier Custom Cabinets, and asks for a copy of the resolution that authorizes such action.

“It would be an understatement,” wrote Wilson, “to say we were surprised by such deceptive and specious political unpleasantness.”

The deadline for renewal of the agreement was July 1, 2014.

Country music star returning to Renfrew County Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News – Flat Lake, Alta., native Brett Kissel is returning to Renfrew County before learning how many Canadian Country Mu-

sic Association (CCMA) awards he wins this year.

The CCMA show will be broadcast Sunday, Sept. 7, on CBC when the Warner Music Canada recording artist is up for eight awards.

Those nominations are for male artist of the year, single of the year, top album, songwriter of the year, CMT video of the year, interactive artist of the year, top record producer, and album design of the year.

Brett Kissel Continued from front

The show airs Sept. 7 at 8 p.m. on CBC, with an encore airing at 10 p.m. on CMT. “Most of my career highlights have been experienced at the CCMAs, whether those were meeting some of my favourite artists, performing collaborations with Hall of Famers, or rocking out on the biggest stage in Canadian country,” said Kissel.

“This year, with eight nominations, I can’t even begin to describe how excited I am to roll into Edmonton … and experience what’s yet to come with my friends and family by my side.”

In March 2014, Kissel performed during the Shake the Foundation fundraiser, at Renfrew’s RCAF, for the Kidney Foundation of Canada and Renfrew Victoria Hospital.

Earlier this month, Kissel premiered the music video for his latest single, Tough People Do, the fourth single off his major label debut album, Started With A Song.

Now he’s touring 11 cities or towns, starting July 25 at Mattawa’s Voyageur Days.

Those shows take him back and forth across the country. His seven Ontario stops include this Saturday’s Aug. 2 show at the Legion Field in Eganville and Aug. 22 in Huntsville.

One of his big fans is Admaston-Bromley teenager Breigh Whalen who attended Kissel’s

RIC situation Continued from front

Wilson called the decision to shift the agreement into the town’s hands “an evil, evil move,” by someone who’s not a team player.

He also said Ringrose is mistaken if he thinks “this is going to destroy us… but it’s going to hurt us.”

Wilson said the Town of Renfrew has apparently assumed control of the lease agreement.

In his terse letter, Wilson has asked for a copy of the resolution that allowed the Town of Renfrew to assume control of the rent agreement.

Meanwhile, Wilson told The Mercury that is an indication of the bad blood brewing between Ringrose and the industrial commission.

Wilson indicated that the mayor has been suing the industrial commission over the past three years over issues pertaining to access to information he’s not privileged to see.”

Town costs to continue the legal procedures, said Wilson, are enough to “pave five city blocks.”

Wilson’s letter was presented at the July 25 monthly meeting of the Renfrew Industrial Commission. The six attendees were Ringrose, Horton Mayor Don Eady, Briscoe, RIC executive assistant Shannon Fraser, Jim Miller (an insurance agent, not the local councillor) and Karen Maxwell of Home Hardware

Building Centre who chairs RSHSV’s fundraising committee.

Because of vacations and a conflicting municipal meeting in Greater Madawaska, there was no quorum, so no official decisions were rendered. Fraser, as an employee, doesn’t count as one of the required board members.

Afterwards, Briscoe told The Mercury the hope is that there is some reconciliation that allows RIC funding to continue as it did before, or in similar fashion.

In the absence of the vacationing clerk Kim Bulmer, Renfrew recreation director Kevin Hill referred The Mercury to the mayor for comment.

When contacted by The Mercury, Ringrose declined to comment.

“I’m not to talk about the issue at all,” he said.

“Weeks have to pass and hopefully parties will resolve what has occurred here,” said Health Services Village chairman Briscoe.

The public needs to know that this change of hands of the rental agreement may hamper the RIC’s ability to continue to help fund the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village, says Briscoe.

Naturally the committee (RAHSV) is “extremely concerned with the pressure this has created for our future,” added Briscoe.

Raise the Roof contract awarded to R.P. Construction Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News – The Raise the Roof campaign should have its roof in place by the end of October 2014.

The request for proposal, for the design and construction of the roof, was awarded to R.P. Construction during Greater Madawaska’s special council meeting July 25.

Fundraising is scheduled to continue for the next 10 years to generate volunteered funds (i.e., non-tax dollars), but the Greater Madawaska council representative on the Raise the Roof committee says he’s really pleased with the progress of the project, so much so that the funds may be raised or pledged well before then.

“We’re very excited about having the roof over the surface this fall,” said Coun. Brian Hunt, knowing construction may not start for two months, after all necessary steel products for the job are ordered.

“It’s great that we have a price that is within budget and within fundraising capabilities,” said Mayor Peter Emon after council awarded the request for proposal to R.P. Construction.

Greater Madawaska had called for RFPs, but the lowest price was considered too high

for council. Those bids were read June 20, 2014.

The RFP was reissued July 3. This resulted in RFPs, including HST, of $426.049 by R.P. Construction and $434,654 by Argue Construction.

The current plan calls for a township loan of $400,000 plus interest to be paid back by the Raise the Roof fundraising committee over 10 years.

Coun. Hunt says much of that amount is accounted for through current reserves of $35,000; fundraising of $175,000 over 10 years from the township’s annual golf tournament, Christmas concert and Bogie Spirit Days; and an individual pledge of $110,000.

That would leave a little more than $115,000 in community fundraising to be done, but in the last two months $85,000 of that $115,000 has been pledged by individuals and businesses, says Hunt.

The concrete foundation was laid in 2013.

But providing a roof should officially turn the Calabogie community rink into a four-season facility, says Coun. Hunt.

“I see it as a four-season facility that can bring in others, for events that range from farmers markets to bands to seasonal sports events,” said Hunt.

He also wrote that the commission will continue its mandate, but that on a community basis “your decision’s impact on our efforts to continue funding the area’s health services initiatives in attracting physicians here and developing our community will not be insignificant, not will it go unnoticed.”

For the past four years, the Renfrew Industrial Commission has presented about $60,000 to the Renfrew and Area Health Services Village, as an ongoing commitment to fund RAHSV’s work to recruit badly-needed family physicians to the area over a 14-year period. But that scenario may not be repeated for much longer after the potential loss of annual income of about $70,000.

Funding of the RSHSV includes more than $25,000 each year from the municipalities of Renfrew, Admaston-Bromley, Greater Madasawaska and Horton.

RIC was scheduled to renew its five-year agreement to cover rental and upkeep of DCC’s manufacturing and administration facilities on Hall Avenue.

Wilson said RIC omitted to renew the agreement during the normal renewal period, but that it was in the process of doing so.

show in Renfrew.

“I’m excited,” said Whalen of this weekend’s Eganville show.

“I plan on going to see him. He puts on such a great show. He feeds off the crowd. He’s upbeat and positive and fantastic. He knows how to set the party.”

Kissel performs at 9 p.m. on the main stage, while The Dreggs have the main stage at 7 and 10:30 p.m.

Pay for your weekend pass, bring your own lawn chair and soak in the music.

Kissel will also open for Brad Paisley on a 14-date coast-to-coast Canadian tour, which starts Oct. 2 in Victoria, B.C. That tour includes stops in Sault Ste. Marie, Sudbury and Kingston, and ends Nov. 22 in Montreal.

Kissel is regarded as the Canadian country music story of the past year. The Flat Lake native overcame the odds of making it out of small-town Alberta to sign a major label recording contract and find a home with the same management company that helped guide the career of Garth Brooks.

In March, he became the first country artist to be awarded with the Juno Award for breakthrough artist of the year in 17 years. Started With A Song and 3-2-1 were top-three radio hits. Both were also No. 1 on CMT’s Chevrolet Top 20 Countdown.

New county tagline, please

Second Renfrew medical clinic on the horizon

News - Renfrew County is looking for a new tagline.

And it could come from just about anywhere. That is, anywhere inside the county, announced Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon in a July 21 news release.

Open to all Renfrew County residents, the contest is called an opportunity for the community to put its best foot forward.

The contest submissions will be accepted by email and on the County of Renfrew Facebook page.

The suggested taglines will be posted on the county website, where the public can review and vote for their favourite one.

At the close of the contest, the five taglines receiving the most votes will be presented by the finalists at October’s session of county council.

County council will then vote for their favourite tagline and declare the official winner of the County of Renfrew Warden’s Tagline Contest. “This contest is a great way for all residents of Renfrew County to really engage and be part of the future branding of their county,� said Warden Peter Emon. “We have a huge amount of talent in our communities and this is a fantastic way to showcase that talent in a grass-roots manner. I can’t think of a better way to create and adopt a new tagline than to have a resident of our own county create it. “I would encourage every resident of the county to get involved and showcase their creative talents by submitting a tagline.�

The contest is intended to replace the current tagline of Pretty as a Picture with a new and fresh tagline that speaks to the essence of Renfrew County.

The current tagline was adopted more than 15 years ago out of a photo contest the county held for their website.

In exchange for their submission, the current contest winner will be publically acknowledged for his or her creative tagline, and receive a prize package valued at $500.

The package will consist of gift cards and certificates from Renfrew County attractions and businesses.

Secondary prizes will be announced at a later date.

The contest will run Aug. 1 to Sept 15, 2014. Voting will be held from Sept. 16 to Oct. 15, 2014.

News - Renfrew could have a second medical clinic in the not-too-distance future.

Council agreed in principle July 14 to a proposed threestorey, 10-doctor clinic. Mayor Bill Ringrose noted that plans are to start and complete the project in 2015.

The Renfrew and Area Health Services Village is in the process of recruiting more doctors.

It is time to move ahead, and there are plans underway to do so, the mayor said. “What this motion does is open the dialogue between our people and their people in order to produce a site plan that meets the needs of both the town and the hospital,� Mayor Ringrose added. “The old system for doctors was to set up in their house or an office and work by themselves. That doesn’t work anymore,� Coun. Jim Miller said. “Now, they work together, and if one doctor is away for some reason, the other one takes

over,� he added.

A road allowance has also been provided between Stewart and Albert streets.

als, and therefore, generate more funding, and that will offset the costs of operating this Centre of Excellence,� Asselin said.

The other five partners have already passed their own bylaws for the project, Asselin noted.

BEER GARDEN AT FAIR

Renfrew council has thrown its support behind the Renfrew Agricultural Society which will allow them to operate a beer garden at this year’s Renfrew Fair Sept. 3 to 7.

The Agricultural Society is in the process of applying for a temporary extension of the existing liquor licence in the armouries, to open the outdoor beer garden.

It will operate from a 40x100-foot tent beside the main stage, and will by surrounded by fencing.

SELLING ICE RESURFER

With two ice resurfacing machines in use, the Renfrew Recreation Department has no need for the 1980 model the town still owns.

After notifying other municipalities that the ice resurfacer is for sale, parks and recreation director Kevin Hill received a response from the Admaston-Bromley Recreation Committee.

Chair Scott Buffam said the committee has offered to pay $2,000 for the ice resurfer, but in installments of $500 per year.

Hill recommended they accept the offer. Council did so July 14.

Five townships, plus the Town of Renfrew, are interested in forming a joint committee to support their blue box recycling programs through a municipal waste management Shared Services Centre of Excellence.

Joining Renfrew in this project are Bonnechere Valley; Brudenell, Lyndoch and Raglan; Head, Clara and Maria; Madawaska Valley and Horton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The group has recognized that we have a long way to go to divert the amount of materials that we are expected to divert with our recycling programs,â&#x20AC;? Renfrew director of development and works Mike Asselin said.

There have been requests for better communications with the public in regards to recycling materials, Asselin added.

The group is seeking Continuous Improvement Fund (CIF) support for the partnershipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first year of operation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re anticipating that the cost will be $50,000. That will be the grant that we apply for from the CIF. We will then operate as this municipal consortium for one year,â&#x20AC;? Asselin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After that one year, we will determine, is it being productive? Is it leading us to improvements in our recycling program?â&#x20AC;?

Asselinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request for councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s endorsement to participate in this group and apply for CIF funding of $50,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The town is hoping that working with the consortium will increase the efficiency of our recycling program, and increase the material diversion.â&#x20AC;?

That will also lead to increased funding through the provincce, Asselin said.

The town now gets money back, based on the success of its recycling programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hope is that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a more efficient program and generate more recycle materi-

Bluegrass concert a stomping good time for regional charity Rachelle Clayton Carefor

Community - Community support agencies across Renfrew County, from Arnprior to Deep River worked together with the Champlain Community Transportation Collaborative and the Child Poverty Action Network on their first ever co-operative fundraising event.

The charity bluegrass cConcert with Junior Sisk and Rambler’s Choice was designed to assist all ages and stages of our community.

St. John’s Chrysostom was filled to the belfry with a crowd of more than 200 who came together on Monday night to share a love of Bluegrass, great music, and to show their support for people all across Renfrew County.

It was a wonderful evening with Junior Sisk and Ramblers Choice.

From the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia comes one of bluegrass music’s most honest voices in the genre’s history, Junior Sisk.

Over the years, his haunting, almost lonesome vocals have earned him the devotion of countless traditional bluegrass fans from all over the world and several awards. (www.juniorsisk.us) Junior and his band came up to the Ottawa Valley for the Valley Bluegrass Festival, and when asked, he agreed to stay over an extra night in order to help the residents of rural Renfrew County.

“His hometown is also a rural community and he understands the importance of people helping people” said organizer Joanne King of Barry’s Bay Home Support.

The cost of medical travel can cause great hardship to those living on a fixed income.

This is especially true for long distances and for dialysis, which usually happens three times each week.

The Transportation Collaborative, working under the sponsorship of Carefor Health & Community Services, works to provide as much subsidy as possible for those who need it.

“It was exciting to see the support for people in need in our community. I also had quite a bit of fun sharing my musical talents for a cause I am passionate about.” said Dennis Harrington of Seniors at Home Program Inc. The Child Poverty Action Network raises funds each year to help purchase backto–school supplies, backpacks and shoes.

For families living on a limited budget, these costs can be very stressful.

Children need to be socially included and to feel that

And when children are included and helped to succeed in school, research shows they do much better as adults.

“It was heartwarming to work with so many other caring people to raise money to help people in Renfrew

County,” added Lyn Smith of CPAN. The event also raised funds at the Tailgate BBQ, featuring local Ottawa Valley musicians, celebrity chefs and the commitment of numerous dedicated volunteers including Valley Heritage Radio host, Rick Leben who served as stage manager and emcee for the evening, and Jamie

The Renfrew County Loyal Orange Lodge had a float in the Carleton Place parade.

Orange Lodgesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Glorious 12th tradition continues in Valley Desmond Devoy Desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Floats from the Renfrew County and Carleton lodges participated in the annual Eastern Ontario Orange parade in Carleton Place July 12.

The parade celebrates the victory of the Protestant King William of Orange over the Catholic King James II during the Battle of the Boyne in County Meath, Ireland, on July 12, 1690.

The battle was preceded by the Siege of Derry in from June 1688 to August 1689. The 105-day siege saw the forces of Catholic King James II lay siege to the Protestant-stronghold of Londonderry. James had been overthrown by

his own daughter, Mary, and her husband, King William of Orange.

The cry â&#x20AC;&#x153;No Surrender,â&#x20AC;? is rooted in the resistance of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defenders. The siege ended when British reinforcements arrived and drove back James.

Orange Lodges from as far away as Morrisburg and the Pontiac in Quebec took part in the annual Carleton Place parade. At one time they were moved around the area, but they seem to have found a permanent home in Carleton Place.

The parades originated in Ireland, and are most commonly found in what is now Northern Ireland, where this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parades were commended for passing off without violence.

THOSE PESKY HORNETS

Ron and Brenda Golden are looking for help with a problem we all face this time of the summer.

They made this request: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you know of any way to deter those pesky black bottomed wasps from attacking hummingbirds at our feeders? They are very aggressive and chase the hummers away when they come to feed.â&#x20AC;?

We have one solution but we imagine that there are others that have been used successfully by hummingbird devotees. Please send us your answer to the problem.

We have a wasp trap we

hang near our feeders. Unfortunately, it does not select which insects enter and bees as well as wasps and hornets get caught.

The trap is plastic, about ďŹ ve inches (13 cm) in diameter and has a lid and a base.

The base has a ďŹ&#x201A;uted hole in the centre where the insects enter and once inside they cannot get out.

To entice the insects to enter an ounce or two of nectar is poured into the area surrounding the ďŹ&#x201A;uted hole.

Once the lid is placed on top the trap is ready to be hung near the feeder. A word of caution, be careful emptying the trap as some insects may be still alive and they have a very painful sting.

seen them. Please call if you have any information about these birds.

YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER

Mary Steele sent us a picture of a yellow-bellied ďŹ&#x201A;ycatcher, a very difďŹ cult bird to separate from the other members of the family.

Fortunately this ďŹ&#x201A;ycatcher has yellowish underparts and can be identiďŹ ed by sight alone. The other species alder, willow, Acadian and least ďŹ&#x201A;y-

catcher have white eye rings but lack the yellow underparts.

Hearing the song of each species in the spring is very often the only way to identify the birds because they are very often hidden by the foliage.

HAWK WATCHING

This is a particularly good time of year to do some hawk watching. Young hawks are learning to hunt and the adults will be moulting soon and need the extra energy to grow their new feathers.

The birds like open country, especially if there are round bales to use as a perch.

We are fortunate to have several such excellent sites to watch for hawks: Barr Line, South McNaughton Road, Gillan Road, Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Line, Kerr Line and Highway 60, to mention a few (having a telescope is an advantage).

Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, R R 5, Renfrew, Ontario K7V 3Z8 Phone 613-432-2738 or email jamesh@nrtco.net

I have never seen them in July before, only single birds in May.â&#x20AC;?

Caspian terns (Hydroprogne caspia) are the only large tern regularly seen on inland lakes.

They are a bit larger than a ring-billed gull and have a crested, black cap and a large blood-red bill.

They ďŹ&#x201A;y on broad wings with powerful wing beats, and are generally white from below with extensive black on the wing tips.

They catch ďŹ sh by diving completely under water from the air. They may also pick ďŹ sh from the surface of the water or steal from other terns and gulls. They ďŹ&#x201A;y low over the water, head pointing down, and dive very quickly to make the catch.

They nest singly or in small colonies. The nest is built in a depression on a bare patch of sandy beach with a small amount of grass and twigs pulled together to form a large saucer-like structure. The two or three pinkish eggs are incubated for 28 to 35 days.

EDITORIAL

Think before you text, while driving Editorial – Is a text so important one should risk their life? It is for many, who every da, make the decision to check their phones while behind the wheel.

We are all guilty of it, whether some admit it or not, but it’s a terrible habit to see on the rise in our younger generation. Of course, growing up in a technology-laden world, a smartphone is something that most youth can’t do without, so it isn’t a surprise that a recent survey conducted for the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) revealed

many youth Grades 7 to 12 are texting while driving.

The 2013 Ontario Student Drug Use and Health Survey showed that more than onethird of adolescent drivers (approximately 108,000) admit to texting while driving at least once in the past year, while 46 per cent of licensed students in Grade 12 also said they have done the same.

Everyone has seen online videos showing people so focused on texting on their phones that they’ve walked into trees or lampposts, or worse, out into oncoming traf-

fic. Now, imagine putting that person behind the wheel of a vehicle.

Scary, isn’t it?

While this survey focused specifically on children, they aren’t the only culprits of texting while driving and we should all know better.

Texting behind the wheel is another form of distracted driving, just as dangerous as if someone is drinking, using drugs, eating or putting on their makeup, while driving.

Common sense has to come in at some point. It’s time to squash those bad habits.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Thick skin needed to suffer the slings and arrows of the electorate To the editor:

I admire anyone who signs on to run for elected office. You need to have a thick skin to suffer the slings and arrows of the electorate, some of whom cannot be found when volunteers are needed for a community activity. I was most upset by the comments of two individuals who are running in Greater Madawaska. I respect their decision to run for the good of the township. However, talk about the future. Be positive.

The issue of private roads does not wash. It is imperative to keep the public roads in good repair. There are 228 kilometres of public roads for which we all pay in our municipal taxes. It is not up to us to pay for 121

kilometres of private roads used only by the owners of cottages or homes on their properties. One person complained to me that he has to keep his road open in the winter so that firefighters can get to his home. Hello!

Keeping it clear so that volunteers can get in at any time of day or night and in any weather to keep it from burning to the ground is a small price to pay. This is a non-issue.

My other bugbear is the constant complaints about the ‘Raise the Roof’ project. Sadly, most of these comments/complaints come from those in my age group. Don’t count me in!

I have had many happy hours on the rink. I was so excited by the im-

provements made by the committee, but those of us who use it, know that when there is a large dump of snow, the ice melts underneath and when it is cleared, the once smooth surface is pitted.

It is unsafe, especially for those of us of a ‘certain age’. Our dedicated rink technicians stand out in the wee hours of the night watering with a hose with insufficient power to send out a strong spray and hasten the job in the cold.

Then, during the watering or after the technician returns home to warm up and catch some sleep before returning for the next day’s shift, Mother Nature piles a thick white blanket over the rink. We do not own

This does not clean it as well as a wet cleaner and there is always a dusting of snow. Are the complainers volunteering for snow clearing duty?

Thank you wonderful volunteers who are raising money to get an open-air roof cover!

The concrete pad also can be used in the three other seasons for community suppers, dances, tennis, basketball, road hockey, etc. It is a great investment in our community and the youth who are our future.

Thank you for caring so much. We will miss you.

Bill C-36 endangers sex workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives To the editor: Opinion - With the Supreme Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s repeal of laws last year that allowed prostitution only within dangerous conditions, the Harper Conservatives have tabled new prostitution legislation but have failed to learn the lesson of the ruling.

Bill C-36 partly copies the Nordic model by criminalizing all buyers of sex, but it also again criminalizes organized public advertising or gathering for sex work.

Unfortunately, no ban on prostitution could have any chance of being enforceable, without the police state systematically invading the bedrooms of the nation en masse to check for

mutual cash exchanges alongside any sexual act.

Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network, UNAIDs, the World Health Organization, the UN Special Rapporteur on Health, and the Global Commission on HIV and the Law agree that criminalization of the sex industry merely pushes sex workers into unsafe underground conditions.

In Sweden where a prostitution ban was attempted, the National Police Board found sex workâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seeming decline to merely reflect increased hiding of prostitution, while human trafficking still increased. In New Zealand

To the editor: Opinion - In response to the article in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paper regarding trespass on private property for a forestry inventory survey, I would like to first applaud the council of Admaston-Bromley Township for listening to and then acting on behalf of their ratepayers by inviting the Ministry of Natural Resources representatives to explain why they are doing a â&#x20AC;&#x153;forest inventory and ecological land survey for the Ottawa Valley forest.â&#x20AC;?

where prostitution was decriminalized, a Prostitution Law Review Committee found the majority of sex workers to feel safer than before.

Under existing criminal laws 156 prostitutes have been murdered since 1991, including the victims of the infamous Robert Pickton. Recently the British Medical Journal published B.C. researchersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; surveys of sex workers, finding that police use of the Nordic model in Vancouver failed to reduce violence by clients against the women.

A total of 222 legal experts warned in a July 7 public letter that Bill C-36 violates Charter rights to prostitutesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; security of the person. And a new study published in the medical journal

I did notice, however, that MayorRaye-Anne Briscoe was quoted as saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The woodlot owners will benefit great â&#x20AC;Ś they will know what kind of ground they have, what kind of trees, the height of their trees, etc.â&#x20AC;?

This is true as far as the forest inventory is concerned, in case they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already aware of that.

Secondly, I would like to applaud Rick Watchorn of the MNR for acknowledging they were wrong to enter private property without the own-

Lancet estimates that decriminalization could reduce HIV infection rates in the Canadian sex trade by 17-20 percent.

In contrast to Bill C-36, the alternative of regulating brothels would allow sex workers a safer environment, especially with organized screening of clients, bans on minors, quotas for a majority of licensed brothel managers to be women, and rights for any sex worker to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? at any time.

The gut reaction to practices that offend our sense of purity will often involve a blanket criminal regime and the simplistic assumption that they will thereby end. Yet in the real world, laws that stigmatize those most in need of third-party protection will effectively kill them. Keep lethal laws no more.

erâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consent; and for recognizing the importance of better communication for public awareness.

However, I also noticed there was no mention of the Ecological Land Survey that was also included as part of the work performed by MNRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forest services contractor, in addition to checking the height of the trees, etc.

I hope now that the record is absolutely straight, it was also explained that the ecological land survey included in this forest inventory â&#x20AC;&#x153;studyâ&#x20AC;? is

for wildlife management for statutory nature conservation organizations and environment consultants and planners for land-use planning â&#x20AC;Ś because they, too, â&#x20AC;&#x153;will benefit greatly.â&#x20AC;?

All in all, it was good to see that both council for Admaston-Bromley and the MNR recognized the importance of good communication and the respect for private property rights.

It was hard to beat the heat on Northcote farm during summer Gas Technician Prepare yourself for work in the propane and natural gas industries.

mer kitchen, and Father and the brothers had already washed up at the basin on the bench at the back door. When they opened the door where Mother, Audrey and I were trying to cool off, a blast of hot air swept into the room like a blowtorch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shut the door,â&#x20AC;? Mother yelled.

With great effort Mother got off the chair, and as if bracing herself for battle, stood in front of the door separating the two kitchens, making sure Audrey and I were right behind her, and the three of us went out like a bolt of lightening to keep the cool air in, and the heat out.

Of course, there was no such thing as a salad plate for dinner at noon hour. Father had to have his meat, potatoes, vegetables, and dessert regardless what the big â&#x20AC;&#x153;Supertestâ&#x20AC;? thermometer said, nailed to the outside frame of the back door.

Father and the brothers loaded their plates as if it was their last meal on earth. And as soon as their plates were cleaned, they loaded up again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How anyone can eat in this weather is beyond me,â&#x20AC;? Mother said, as she cut a raisin pie into four pieces.

We three headed back into the cooler kitchen, which by noon hour was fast taking on the outside heat of the day, but still wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as hot as where Father and the brothers were forking in their dinner.

Mother again collapsed into a chair, and Audrey stretched out on the creton couch, and I stood like a stick not knowing exactly where I fit into this picture. I sure hated to miss a meal.

But I wanted to stay close to Mother just in case she passed out, which my sister Audrey said could happen when you were overcome with the heat.

I picked up a copy of the Renfrew Mercury and stood beside Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chair and fanned her with all my might. She stopped wiping her face with the tail of her apron, and sighed with a contentment we hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen demonstrated all day.

When one arm got tired I switched to the other, and I wondered if the air I was creating was anything like the fans Mother had in New York City. Well, it must have come close, because Mother told me to go to the cupboard and bring her down the sugar bowl with the egg money in it.

Lifestyle - â&#x20AC;&#x153;Always had fans in New York,â&#x20AC;?

Mother said, sitting in a straight-back chair in the darkened kitchen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just plugged them in and away they went...cooled the whole house down in minutes.â&#x20AC;?

Well, there would be no fans on the farm in Northcote! With no electricity, we had to rely on other ways to keep the old log house cool.

And sometimes they worked, but most times, the heat of the summer won out.

The Findlay Oval had already been rolled out to the summer kitchen on two logs. And we tried to keep the door closed between the summer and regular kitchens, but that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always work either.

Mother had been working in the garden before dinner, before the sun was at its highest, and she came in with the dish pan full of fresh yellow beans, bunches of carrots, and some green onions. Of course, she weeded while she was out there too, which added to her complaints about the heat.

It was almost pitch dark in the kitchen. When the heat of the summer came with a vengeance, Mother immediately began the almost impossible task of keeping the house cool. Her first job was to take quilts out of the trunk where they had been stored after winter, and cover each window in the kitchen. There they hung, shutting out the blasts of the sun that hit the old house from early morning until after our suppers at night, and turning the room almost pitch black. To let a bit of light into the kitchen, Mother took a safety pin and fastened up the tiniest corner of each blanket, to take away from the total darkness.

Father wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the least bit happy with this arrangement, and said there had to be other ways to cool down the house. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes,â&#x20AC;? Mother retorted sharply. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we had electricity, we could have fans.â&#x20AC;? As if poor Father could do anything about that! It was hard enough to find the money to buy coal oil for the lamps!

Of course, there was no covering the windows in the summer kitchen ... that would have served no purpose with the cook stove blasting away from early morning until after supper. So the main kitchen was always the coolest room in the house, and that was where Mother had collapsed that day, with her face beat-red, and the sweat rolling off the end of her nose.

The noon meal was cooking out in the sum-

Booster Program fun way to work on literacy, numeracy skills Renfew County District School Board

Kindergarten, Grade 1 and Grade 2 students in Renfrew County are receiving a boost in their literacy and numeracy skills thanks to the July Booster Program hosted at several RCDSB schools this year.

For the past 33 years, thousands of children have improved their reading, writing and math skills through the free RCDSB Summer Booster program.

This summer 247 Kindergarten, Grade 1 and 2 students from Renfrew County registered for the free weekday morning program which ran July 2 to 25 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

A dynamic team of innovative and creative RCDSB teachers delivered a literacy and numeracy program in a camp-like atmosphere.

The educators are all committed to the growth and development of chil-

dren and implement the latest, research-based, best practices in teaching and learning. They all bring experience and knowledge of strategies that promote skill development in language and mathematics in the early years.

Students enjoyed engaging, motivational and purposeful activities. The program helps boost students’ confidence in literacy and numeracy through a fun, interactive and supportive environment.

The program boosts students’ knowledge of sight words, reading strategies and comprehension skills as well as skills in mathematics, including number identification, counting, patterning and number operations.

“Students in kindergarten, Grade 1 and Grade 2 are at a critical stage of literacy and numeracy development,” Summer Booster Program administrator Cathy Kyle said.

“The Booster program

The workers, members of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU), maintain they are being pushed towards a strike position by their employer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without these dedicated workers, there is no home care for many frail residents in Renfrew County,â&#x20AC;? said OPSEU president Warren â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Smokeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Thomas in a news release.

Mary recalls challenges of staying cool in summer Continued from page 14

I felt my way over to the cupboard, barely making out the bowl in the darkened room.

Mother took the lid off and reached in, bringing out a coin.

It could feel it was a whole nickel. “If it ever cools off, we’ll take a run to Briscoe’s and you can get yourself an ice cream cone,” she said.

It was the first time I had ever been given anything out of the egg money. There was no such thing as allowances back then.

I had no idea how long Moth-

er sat in the cooler room, but when I came down stairs after going up to my bedroom and tying the nickel in the corner of my hanky, joining the few other coins I had accumulated over a very long time, she was out in the summer kitchen, redding up the dinner table.

Her face was getting red again, and she was swiping it with the corner of her apron once more. But there was work to be done. Her rest was over.

I wondered if she would again, later in the day, go back to the

my fast growing wealth upstairs in the corner of my hanky.

Community - Renfrew detachment of the Ontario provincial Police has received a number of complaints from citizens who have received a letter from a London, UK accountant and independent underwriting consultant. The author suggests that he is attempting to distribute the wealth of a now deceased business magnate but is having difficulty in finding the appropriate beneficiary.

They suggest that there is no risk involved and go on to indicate that because the recipient has the same last name, the proceeds of the unclaimed funds can be released to them as beneficiary.

The OPP would like to make everyone aware that this type of inheritance letter is sent in an attempt to ultimately defraud you of your money or steal your personal information. Legitimate estates do not solicit

Parking lot event a huge success Zoey Bresnahan made bracelets for the car boot sale at Chartwell Quail Creek July 12. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Half is the money I raise is going to Hospice, and half for my new Lego,â&#x20AC;? she said proudly.

Chartwell Quail Creek held a fundraising barbecue and car boot sale July 12 with all funds going to Hospice Renfrew. A car boot sale is a form of yard sale or market, popular in the UK. Individuals or vendors rent a parking space and sell new or used items from the boot (trunk) of their car.

They are also able to bring a folding table to set items on. Quail Creek executive director Anita Law said you never know how successful any first-time event might be. However, it proved to be a great success as $600 was raised for Hospice Renfrew.

Manager Scott Hatchard brings new ideas to Renfrew Golf Club Lesley Murray Renfrew Golf Club

Sports - PGA Professional Scott Hartchard is the new manager of the Renfrew Golf Club. Since Scott has just recently moved to the Ottawa Valley, you might be interested to learn about him.

Scott grew up in Perth-Andover, N.B., in the heart of the St. John River Valley. He learned how to play golf and spent many years at the Aroostook Valley Golf Club. This club sits on the border of Canada and the United States. The course is 100 per cent Canadian but, on three of the holes, out-of-bounds is the CanadaUS border!

It was built during prohibition, to service the American clientele as well as Canadians, and had two separate entrances, one from the U.S. and one from Canada. Eventually, the pro shop was built in the United States and the club pro had to deal with two time zones as well as two currencies.

Here, Scott honed his golfing skills and did odd jobs around the club as he matured.

He started taking business courses and, in 1986, began the CPGA apprentice program and turned pro.

Scott served his apprenticeship at the Oakfield Golf Club in Halifax, and then, in 1992, he became the pro/manager of the Covered Bridge Golf Club in Hartland, N.B., Scott spent 11 years at Covered Bridge and moved to the Terra Nova Golf Resort in Newfoundland in 2002.

Terra Nova is a resort that is a real estate and condo sales and developer.

They have two golf courses and their championship course sits in Terra Nova National Park.

The club regularly hosts provincial championships and, in 2011, hosted the Canadian Men’s Senior Championship. As the manager of the Resort, Scott had many unique challenges, not the least of which was dealing with the National Parks Commission whenever he wanted to cut down a tree that was near water!

During those years, Scott was a member of the Atlantic PGA Board of Directors and also spent six years on the PGA of Canada Board of Directors.

With his skill set, we are very fortunate that the Renfrew Golf Club was able to attract Scott to Renfrew.

Once here, he and his partner, Christine Clouter, rolled up their sleeves and spent many hours refurbishing

the clubhouse for the 2014 season.

They resurfaced the floor in the dining room, cleaned up the fireplaces and all the fixtures, and brightened up and painted many areas, both inside and outside of the club.

Scott has strong opinions about the Renfrew Golf Club. He thinks it is a great course, and he is working with the board of directors to ensure that the RGC is well positioned in the marketplace, both now and in the future. They have looked to sustaining membership by initiating a new members’ loyalty program, adding social events, and providing a discount for members in both the pro shop and dining room.

New course-access programs have also been initiated. The first is a Ladies Introductory Program that includes instruction, which has become very popular.

The other initiative is a Preferred Players Program, a flexible program that allows players to use their investment for green fees, carts, or food and beverages. This program is particularly welcome for those players who wish to play more golf at the RGC, former members, or players PHOTO COURTESY OF LESLEY MURRAY who are cottagers or who visit the PGA Professional Scott Hatchard is the new manager of the Renfrew area frequently over the summer.

Micksburg blanks Elkland 1-0 to capture Gil Read fastpitch in Carp Jeff Maguire

Sports - Matt Greer homered and pitcher Corey Costello crafted a complete game shutout as the Micksburg Twins edged Elkland Thunderbellies 1-0 Sunday to win the seventh annual Gil Read Memorial Fastpitch Tournament in Carp.

The Upper Ottawa Valley club, who is currently in fifth place in the Greater Ottawa Fastball League (GOFL), had an excellent weekend, going undefeated with five wins and a tie in six outings.

Following the championship game Greer, who joined Micksburg for the event (he normally plays for Quyon Flyers of the GOFL),

game. This was the third straight year Elkland has competed in the annual fastball event in Carp. Thunderbellies finished the tournament with a 4-2 mark.

Twins claim $1,800 in prize money for their performance. Runners-up Elkland takes home $700.

Earlier Sunday, in the semifinals, Costello twirled a pitching gem. He struck out 16 opponents as Twins blanked Ottawa Broker 4 Tickets from the Glen Cairn Men’s Fastball League 2-0. Neil Cooke was the losing pitcher for the Ottawa team who finished the 10-team tournament in third place with a 3-2 record.

In the other semifinal Elkland rolled past Napanee “Shoeless Joe’s” Junior Express 6-2.

Kyle Crawford fashioned a nifty four-hitter on the mound for the Pennsylvania side. Brandon Sands, in relief of starter Eric Morgan, suffered the pitching loss.

Broker 4 Tickets and Junior Express (Napanee finished fourth with a 2-1-2 mark) each pocket $250 for their efforts in the venture.

The tournament is named in memory of Gil Read, a highly successful fastball coach from the Ottawa area, who died tragically in 2007.

His son Chris and nephew Al Read head the organizing committee. All funds from the event go to support children who wish to play sports but could not otherwise afford to do so.

Chris Read expects the venture to equal last year’s tournament high fundraising mark.

was named the competition’s Most Valuable Player. Costello, who hurled 14 shutout innings in two playoff contests Sunday, was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Pitcher.

Brad Porter, who usually pitches for Kars Aces of GOFL but joined Elkland for the threeday competition, was the hard-luck loser. Porter took over from Thunderbellies starter Garrett Hone and the only run he yielded was Greer’s fifth inning solo blast.

Thunderbellies, from the small village of Elkland in north-central Pennsylvania, had a strong game in the final but were forced to settle for runner-up honours for a second straight year. They lost to Sharon (Ontario) Lake Simcoe Lightning in last year’s championship

Sports - Merry Ho Ho! Christmas came again to the Renfrew Golf Club, with our ever-popular sixth annual Christmas in July fun night.

Sixty ladies, with anxious eyes on the sky, teed off for a scramble golf game July 15. Sure enough, the heavens opened and we had a terrific downpour (and, at the same time, no rain in Renfrew). But the sun came out just a few minutes later and many went out to finish their round.

As usual, the Christmas costumes were wonderful, and the brightlywrapped gifts were lots of fun to open. A delicious Christmas dinner with all the trimmings was presented by our new chef, Corey Furnival.

The evening ended with a rousing and spontaneous We Wish You a Merry Christmas, and a vow to do it again next year.

Sports - The first of three Rising Star Series horse riding clinics in McNab-Braeside attracted competitors from the Arnprior, Renfrew, Stittsville, Carp, Pembroke and Chalk River areas.

At the June 9 event on Scheel Drive, competitors, coaches and spectators gained knowledge through comments and evaluations from clinician, Dale Vance, from the Ot-

tawa area.

Ribbons were awarded to first to fifth place finishers and division champions received special prizes.

Competitors also earned valuable points towards trophy presentations at the final horse show clinic scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 30.

The second horse show clinic at JCS Stables is scheduled for this Saturday, Aug. 2, with clinician Dennis Mahoney from Deer Lake, NL. There are many individuals

responsible for bringing the horse show clinics together, but the participants are the most important.

Learning Days preparing staff, community for board-wide launch of full-day kindergarten

LUCY HASS/METROLAND

Education Week initiative The Renfrew County Child Poverty Action Network (CPAN) has received $1,400 from the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board. Proceeds of a board-wide casual dress-down day during spring’s Catholic Education Week resulted in the donation. Senior kindergarten students Kobe Gregoire and Emma Dunne of Holy Name Catholic School present the ceremonial cheque to CPAN co-ordinator Lyn Smith. “This is a very real demonstration of the theme of Catholic Education Week, Serving in the Love of Christ, and one way we can live out the sub-theme, Serve with Compassion,” says Tony Cosentino, religious and family life education resource teacher with the board. CPAN works to eliminate the effects of child poverty in the area. Two programs activated to achieve that goal are Operation Snowsuit and Backpack Plus. The organization helps 1,200 to 1,500 children every year.

PLANNING

Kindergarten teachers, early childhood educators, principals, vice principals, special education support workers, Ministry of Education personnel, Aboriginal community leaders, child care providers, members of the Home School association and representatives from the co-terminus board all took part in the threeday workshop which provided participants with insights into the FDK program.

The focus was placed on emergent reading, writing and math through the lens of learning through

inquiry. Another focus was the importance of student assessment and feedback to improve learning.

RCDSB staff, including, Student Success Teacher Heather Fleming, Numeracy Facilitator Shelagh McCarthy and School Counsellor Kathi Rosbottom all spoke to the importance of collaborative problem-solving in both the area of academics and character development while at the same time allowing the participants to have conversations about their evidencebased practices.

As a follow-up to the workshop, Dr. Stuart Shanker, Canada’s expert in the area of self-regulation, will be speaking to all RCDSB Kindergarten educator teams and members of the community as the new year unfolds in September.

NewsRenfrew-NipissingPembroke MP Cheryl Gallant has announced the launch of the $305-million rural broadband internet expansion program, Connecting Canadians.

Its goal is to bring high-speed Internet access to an additional 280,000 Canadian households in rural and remote communities. The program is part of the larger Digital Canada 150 series of initiatives by the federal government, designed to bring all Canadians fully into the digital era by the 150th anniversary of Confederation in 2017.

MP announces rural and remote broadband funding

The news release from Yakabuski’s office said it is now common knowledge that the former premier’s chief of staff, David Livingston, is alleged to have broken the government’s own security procedures when he granted access to computers in the premier’s office to outside computer technician Peter Faist.

It has been established that Laura Miller and Peter Faist are key witnesses to exactly what happened. After this information was made public by the OPP, the Justice Committee requested on several occasions for Ms. Miller and Mr. Faist to appear.

The election was called before they were able to testify.

“The public have a right to know who was responsible for the destruction of documents and the deletion of emails” said Yakabuski.

“Today the premier had a chance to distinguish herself from Dalton McGuinty by doing the right thing. InO'Brien Road, Renfrew stead, she chose to put politics ahead Flyer effective Friday, August 1st to Wednesday, August 6th, 2014 of the public interest.” he said.

R0422478172

News – A news release from Queen’s Park last week said RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski stood in the House and asked Premier Kathleen Wynne to allow the Standing Committee on Justice Policy “to continue its investigation of the $1.1 billion of public funds wasted on two cancelled gas plants, and the possibly criminal deletion of records by senior Liberal operatives.”

The release said that, in response, the premier avoided the question and referred it to her House Leader to refuse the request.

“It’s unfortunate that the government wants this scandal swept under the rug” Yakabuski said.

“There is an ongoing criminal investigation by the OPP anti-rackets squad into deleted records, and over a billion dollars of public money wasted—this is a very serious matter.

Regardless of how the premier tries to spin it, the Justice Committee still has outstanding questions for key witnesses.”

four trappers,” she said.

However, she said she’d be supportive of offering a service as a pilot project as long as there was cost recovery.

It would fit in with the livestock evaluator’s role, she added.

Coun. Brad McIlquham expressed concern that in 90 per cent of the cases, the animal would have gone by the time the trapper arrived. “Would they still get paid,” he asked.

Coun. Aldene Styles cautioned that such an initiative could “snowball” with people calling to get deer out of their gardens.

Councillors recalled that the township had been stymied when trying to do something about wild cats in the Braeside area because of the expense of housing them and the inability to recover costs. However, cat regulations are different than that governing wildlife, it was noted.

Lemonade success This group of friends raised $650 for cancer research selling lemonade, cookies and brownies in front of The Korner Hutch in downtown Renfrew. The second annual Great Canadian Lemonade Standimonium fundraiser took place June 21, as more than 110 stands and 300 children sold lemonade throughout the Ottawa Valley. From left are Dori Pilgrim, Lura Panesar, Ava Pilgrim, Megan Winters, Asha Panesar, Mya Pilgrim, Marley Tabar and Kayla Winters.

But Blimkie said that if the township sets up a for-fee service she doesn’t expect many people “to take us up on it.” Nevertheless, “at least we haven’t ignored them (complainants),” she added.

R0012799284

News – The Township of McNab-Braeside will consider providing a nuisance animal service for its residents, but not for free.

At its July 15 council meeting, councillors discussed the pros and cons of offering the service in response to a recent complaint by a resident who got into a tussle with a skunk.

Another resident phoned to ask about what to do about moles in Sand Point and there have been a number of calls in the past on everything from raccoons and fishers to bears and deer, councillors noted.

Municipal and provincial regulations don’t permit shooting the animals in residential areas as used to be the solution.

Deputy clerk Lindsey Parkes presented council with two cost quotes on tackling smaller nuisance animal, one from a local trapper and the other from the township’s livestock evaluator, who has a trapper’s licence.

The trapper offered to live trap and release skunks, raccoons and fishers for $50 plus mileage, with the fee being $75 for beavers.

The livestock evaluator suggested the fee would range between $35 and $100 plus mile-

age for a program that would include education, deterrence, prevention and live trapping (if required). The evaluator also suggested she could provide a separate follow-up visit to ensure the measures are working and make a report to council.

Council asked Parkes to come back with a suggested schedule of fees for the service before it made a final decision.

Mayor Mary Campbell suggested such a service would have value in helping with growing problems caused by the “human-wildlife interface.”

Some people don’t know how to cope with nuisance animals and don’t seem to be getting much response from private companies, she said. She said she liked the education component of the evaluator’s proposal. “Welcome to rural Ontario,” she said.

However, the municipality would have recover any costs for such a service, she emphasized. “We don’t want one neighbour paying for another’s animal problems,” she said.

Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie questioned whether the municipality should be considering providing the service on private property.

“It’s one thing for problems on township property … but if we do it for citizens, we’d need

2014 Renfrew Fair

A blooming success in your garden Renfrew Fair Floriculture Committee

Lifestyle - It’s time to check out your gardens for a possible first-place prize at the 2014 Renfrew Fair.

It’s a chance to earn a little spending money or perhaps to help buy seeds for next year.

Don’t forget to pick up your fair book from Judy Dobec so you can know the various categories for entry.

Our floriculture division has been blessed with sponsorships from many local businesses and special individuals.

CONTACT COMMITTEE MEMBERS

Don’t hesitate to contact our committee members between now and the fair to learn more.

It’s a lot of fun and we need you.

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.

MP announces broadband funding Contined from page 31

“All Canadians, regardless of where they live, should have full, affordable access to wireless technologies and high-speed internet networks,” said Gallant. “As our economy moves into the internet, it is vital that all small and medium sized businesses are able to keep up with this

to high-speed Internet.

“If you are interested in providing feedback on internet quality in your community, or you would like to read more about the Connecting Canadians Program, please, visit my website www.cherylgallant.com and click on the Connecting Canadians tab,” Gallant advised.

Changes to firearms licensing on the way: Gallant News – Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant joined Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney; Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters representative Greg Farrant; Tony Bernardo, Executive Director of the Canadian Sport Shooting Association and fellow Conservative MPs Tony Clement and Jay Aspin to announce firearms reforms are on the way.

Gallant thanked hunters, farmers and sportsmen for their suggestions that she presented to government. She said the government will eliminate the need for two firearms licences, (one for possession and one for possession

trend. This $305-million investment in rural broadband, over the next five years, will help all businesses in the Upper Ottawa Valley bring their products and services to the digital marketplace.”

Gallant said she is looking for public feedback to identify those properties that are most in need of greater access

and acquisition) and combine them into one.

They will also require all firearms owners to take a safety course.

A news release from Gallant’s office says two of the reforms proposed under the Common Sense Firearms Licensing Act, are similar to a petition started by Gallant nearly two years ago. The petition called for the repeal of section 58 (1) of the Firearms Act, which allowed Chief Firearms Officers (CFOs) to attach ‘reasonable conditions’ top firearms licences, and making Authorizations to Transport part of any firearms licence.

OHTO encourages locals and tourism operators to use #OHletsgo Lifestyle - When Carly Freeman signed on to become a Social Media Brand Ambassador in Ontario’s Highlands, she knew the job would put her in some wonderfully unfamiliar situations.

But the Humber College Public Relations graduate and selfproclaimed city slicker didn’t anticipate that she would find herself high-fiving other tourists after completing a nerve-jangling walk across a suspension bridge nestled high in the trees; swimming through a perfectly calm lagoon while dressed in a shining gold, spandex-like mermaid tail; or paddling a 34-foot replica Voyageur canoe next to a couple of guides dressed from head to toe in beaver fur, just like 1800s fur traders.

“I am having a blast exploring the unexpected, quirky and surprising in Ontario’s Highlands this summer,” says Freeman.

“Coming from Toronto, I never imagined that I would encounter so many jaw-dropping moments right in my backyard. My arm hairs have literally been standing up on ends since I began this adventure.”

Freeman has been on the road since May, taking part in a

“Great Escape” road trip across Ontario’s Highlands, which spans from the Haliburton Highlands to the Ottawa Valley.

Guided by curious social media users who have made travel suggestions using #OHletsgo on the Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization’s (OHTO) Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts, she’s the region’s first “hashtag tourist”, offering visitors from the city a unique opportunity to virtually travel the rural communities before packing their own bags.

WARM RECEPTION

Freeman says she has been welcomed with open arms by locals and tourism operators in the region, who have introduced her to true rural spirit and played an integral part in suggesting which small town “treasures” and “hidden gems” to explore.

“Each community I visit offers something unique, has a different pace of life, a distinct culture and a new story to tell,” she says.

“I encourage everyone in Ontario’s Highlands to show their small town pride by suggesting new places that I can share with travellers from the city.” Suggestions can be made by using #OHletsgo on social media.

To participate in the road trip and promote Ontario’s Highlands, the OHTO also asks tourism operators to share the hashtag with their summer visitors, who can enter to win a GoPro HERO3+ camera by sharing their travel photos and Ontario’s Highlands experiences using #OHletsgo.

Visitors can also enter to win one of three “Great Escape” road trips by visiting Ohletsgo.ca and voting on their favourite rural escape before Aug 31.

The Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO) is a not-for-profit organization mandated by the Province of Ontario to increase tourism within the counties of Haliburton, Lanark, and Renfrew and portions of Frontenac, Hastings, and Lennox and Addington.

Boyd and Rose Ann MacLaren would like to thank their family for the marvelous party they put on to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. Their efforts and attention to detail and their endeavor to contact our friends and relatives was above and beyond what one might hope for. Thank you to everyone who turned out to the farm to spend time with us on our special day, and to those who sent greetings because they were unable to attend.

Even the weather co-operated to make for a beautiful day. Also thank you to those who had to be in the hay field and couldn’t come. We realize with all the rain this year you have to take advantage of the weather when you get it.

In the lonely hour of thinking, Thoughts of you are ever near, God alone knows how we miss you, As there dawns another year.

Someone at dawn and noontideSomeone at dusk and night, Lifts you to God’s safe keepingTrust you in God’s clear sight.

Fond are the ties that are broken Dear is the one that is gone, In memory we shall keep him As long as the years roll on.

As we loved him, so we miss him, In our memory he is dear, Loved, remembered, longed for always, Bringing many a silent tear.

Those we love don’t go away, They walk beside us every day, Unseen, unheard but always near; Still loved; still missed and very dear.

If tears could build a stairway, And memories a lane, I’d walk right up to heaven, And bring you home again.

Miss you Love Heather xoxo

DENNIS MACNAMARA

The moment that I lost you My heart was torn in two One side filled with heartache The other died with you.

I often lie awake at night When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane With tears upon my cheeks.

Remembering you is easy I do it everyday But missing you is heartache That never goes away.

I hold you tightly within My heart there you shall remain.

Until the joyous day arrives, That we shall meet again.

CLR542962

I’ll treasure forever the friendship we shared, The things you did, the way you cared, Someone to turn to, so kind and true, One in a million, Dennis, I will never forget you.

Our lives go on without you But nothing is the same We have to hide our heartache When someone speaks your name Sad are the hearts that love you Silent are the tears that fall Living without you Is the hardest part of all You did so many things for us Your heart was kind and true And when we needed someone We could always count on you The special years will not return When we are all together But with the love in our hearts You walk with us forever.
