Jonathan Mulvihill/Torstar Kids alongside members of the Renfrew OPP detachment, the Renfrew County and District Health Unit and McNab/Braeside Mayor Tom Peckett during the Safety Initiative Launch at the Burnstown Beach on Aug. 2.

RENFREW OPP PROMOTES WATER SAFETY IN NEW INITIATIVE JONATHAN MULVIHILL jmulvihill@metroland.com The Renfrew OPP detachment launched a new safety initiative at the Burnstown Beach on Aug. 2.

Community safety officer

Tina Hunt said the purpose of the launch was to promote the use of safety equipment while on the water.

"Currently the law says you only need to have a lifejacket if riding in a boat, and not specifically wear one," she said. "This

initiative will make sure kids are wearing them at all times."

The OPP partnered with the Renfrew County and District Health Unit and Kevin Cherry from Edward Jones Investments for this launch.

They produced water bot-

tles with the OPP logo and the saying "I got caught wearing my lifejacket, safety first", and will be given to any kids the OPP marine officers come across in the water wearing their safety gear the rest of the summer.

The driver with an opioid addiction who killed a well-known Renfrew couple near Carp almost three years ago was found guilty on all six counts.

Some 20 supporters of Douglas and Joan Foster, who died at the scene of a Dec. 4, 2016 collision, listened from an Ottawa courtroom as Justice Anne London-Weinstein read the reasons of judgement. The case has drawn national media attention, in part because the notorious painkiller fentanyl plays a central role.

John Anstie sat almost completely alone on his side of the courtroom. He is guilty of two counts each of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death, impaired operation of a motor vehicle causing death and criminal negligence causing death. Each count carries a maximum 14 years or 10 years in jail. He will be sentenced at a later date.

London-Weinstein described the events of that night. The Fosters went to Merivale Bowling Alley, then shared tea. Joan was driving their grey Honda Civic. They would drive home along Highway 417, but exited at March Road because the highway was washed out. It proved fateful.

At about 9:30 p.m. along a dark stretch of March, near a gentle curve in the road, Anstie was travelling almost double the speed limit in a black Nissan, heading home to Kanata after playing videogames at a friend's in Almonte. The collision and the five seconds that preceded it were caught on Carp Depot's video surveillance. She braked and swerved to miss. He didn't attempt to stop even after crossing the centre line.

Anstie was later diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep disorder. But LondonWeinstein was not convinced he'd fallen asleep at the wheel exclusively because of it. The high amounts of fentanyl and the tranquilizer Xanax, along with a small amount of THC (the active ingredient in marijuana), likely played a more important role.

Defence lawyer Michael Crystal also argued that fentanyl may have been administered when his client was rushed to hospital. But blood samples showing the drugs in his system were taken before painkillers were given, the court learned, as is standard practice at the Ottawa Civic hospital.

London-Weinstein could not conclude when Anstie had taken the drugs (he didn't testify). His friend was proven to have lied

others - she couldn't determine the extent of his impairment. She nevertheless found him negligent.

Needles and a saline bottle were found in the front passenger seat. The needles

DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@ metroland.com Rent has skyrocketed in Renfrew county and the working poor are struggling to keep pace.

In 2013, the average market rent for a one-bedroom was $618. Last year it was $711. However, minimum wage - one in four Canadian workers are paid within $3 of minimum wage - has only gone from $11.25 to $14 per hour. (The Doug Ford conservative government cancelled a plan to bump it up another $1 for fear it would stall job creation that is running at about 2.6 per cent.)

Financial advisers recommend contributing no more than 30 per cent of income on housing, which for minimum wage workers at 40 hours per week would be about $600 in rent.

Laura LePine sees workers trying to cope with rising costs and largely stagnant incomes. She is director of social services at the County of Renfrew and a third hurdle: availability.

"We need more affordable housing, low income housing, and rent-geared-to in-

THE ISSUE: WAGES HAVE NOT KEPT UP WITH RENT INCREASES ACROSS CANADA LOCAL IMPACT: GOVERNMENTS FEEL THE PRESSURE TO BUILD MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING come housing so people are not limited to a wait list," LePine said, noting the number of households on the social housing wait list up to about 1,070. "There's not enough money for the need this year.

We are looking at year two or three."

The situation is just as grim in the nation's largest cities. According to recently released study by Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA), low income workers can no longer find affordable rental units in 97 per cent of neighbourhoods.

In Ottawa, a worker would need $26 per hour to afford a

two-bedroom unit or work 75 hours per week at the current minimum wage.

"Across the country, skyrocketing rents for decent apartments show no signs of falling. Building more dedicated affordable housing would increase vacancy rates, cool rental prices and better accommodate the many people shut out of Canada's overheated housing market," said David Macdonald, CCPA senior economist.

"Affordability for renters, not just home buyers, should be top of mind for all parties headed into the federal election.

"In a country as rich as Canada everyone deserves a reasonable place to live. In too many communities, this is just not the case."

STORY BEHIND THE STORY

When a study about workers on minimum wage unable to afford rent in Canada's largest cities, we decided to take a look at how it is playing out in rural areas such as Renfrew county.

As it turns out, minimum wage has levelled off while rents have skyrocketed.

UNNAMED: A TOP 10 LIST OF ONTARIO'S DEADLIEST HIGHWAYS DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@ metroland.com When community leaders put together the case for a four-lane Highway 417 to Renfrew, the province would not provide comparative information regarding accidents. The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) stopped calculating collision rates for all sections of provincial highway nine years ago.

That seems to make it difficult for any region to argue they should be first to receive funds for upgrading.

Why don't we have a top 10 list of Ontario's deadliest highways?

"In 2010, MTO adopted an alternate methodology for assessing the traffic safety performance of the provincial network," MTO spokesperson Bob Nichols

A

said via email. "The goal of this process is to identify road locations likely to benefit the most from safety improvements. Traditional methods used collision rates and assumed that collision frequency and volume were directly related but research has shown that this is not the case."

Do experts in collision reduction strategies keep a top 10 list?

"I have never ranked them," said Mark Andrews, a recently retired 32-year OPP officer who for the last 12 years of his career managed and oversaw fatal and serious collisions of all types in the north east region. "I look at every highway as potential. Because human error is so prevalent."

He applauds the twinning of Highway 417 to Renfrew, though, because narrower two-lane highways offer less margin for error.

DECISION?

they use often is the most dangerous in the province?

"There is also a danger to a top 10 list too," Andrews said. "Drivers can be hypervigilant and then when they get off - I can go

back to checking my phone. I say every highway is dangerous because people are on it."

He added that expensive measures are not always the best. Sometimes a rumble strip will do the trick.

Or building more rest stops for long-haul truckers.

What of the idea that governments want to base infrastructure decisions (and the dollars and jobs that come with them) on political motivations and not safety first?

"I haven't witnessed it in all of the meetings I've been in," Andrews said. "Cost etc. has never come up. It's been about safety first in the meetings I've been in."

So is it an unreasonable ask of governments to provide that information?

"I don't think it's an outrageous ask at all," he said.

"But again, almost 99 per cent of the time human error is to blame. Alcohol or drugs, not maintaining your car, thinking you can make it through the weather: these are driving choices."

REQUEST FOR TENDER

CONTRaCT NO. PwC-2019-27 Rehabilitation of County Road 4 (StoRyland Road)

SEALED TENDERS on forms supplied by the County of Renfrew Department of Public Works & Engineering, will be received until 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, August 22, 2019 for the Rehabilitation of County Road 4 (Storyland Road) from Highway 17 to Eady Road, a distance of 1.74km in the Township of Horton.

After months of searching, the Horton Fire Department has a new leader.

Longtime firefighter Allan Cole was officially offered the position after serving as acting chief following the retirement of longtime fire chief Randy Corbin.

Cole said he is honoured to be made chief, saying the promotion felt very exciting.

"It's really nice to be named fire chief alongside those who came before me," he said. "I'm very happy to be a part of it."

Cole started out in the fire department in 1993 as a rookie firefighter before

Jonathan Mulvihill/Torstar As of Aug. 1, Allan Cole is officially the new fire chief for the Horton Fire Department. eventually moving up to a training officer position.

In 2004, he was promoted to captain, which he held until 2010 where he became the deputy fire chief.

He became acting fire chief after Corbin's retirement in February before the position was made permanent.

Cole describes some of the challenges he will face as the new fire chief.

"We are a small department expected to deliver the services of a larger department," he said. "So we have many firefighters pulling double duty. I guess the main challenges would be to maintain a steady flow of service and make sure all our paperwork is accurate."

Cole says the first item he would like requested is a brand new fire truck.

"In our budget we have a forecast looking ahead three, five and 10 years from now," he said. "Since one of our trucks is near the end of its life cycle, we informed council that we have cycled funds over the next three years in order to purchase a new truck."

Cole's position took effect Aug. 1. An appointment by-law will be brought to Horton council during their first September meeting to formally welcome him to the role.

A certified cheque or bank draft not less than the amount specified in the tender requirements must accompany each tender and the successful bidder will be required to provide a 100% performance bond and 50% materials and labour payment bond upon execution of the contract agreement.

Companies that wish to submit a tender for this contract must register with the Department in order to receive the tender documents and to be eligible to submit a tender. Tenders submitted by unregistered bidders will not be accepted.

Electronic PDF files of the plans, specifications and tender form are free of charge for registered bidders.

The day consisted offood, drink and celebration. Retired firefighter Dave McMaster presented

Corbin with his helmet mounted on a frame.

Daryl Eady, Mike Fortier and Hope Dillabough also presented a firethemed painting on behalf of the fire department and Township staff.

Current fire chief Allan Cole was the MC and provided many stories and background on Randy's employment with the Township.

Corbin started in the

Horton Fire Department in 1986 as a volunteer firefighter. He became deputy fire chief in 1999 and subsequently fire chief in 2001; he held that position until his retirement in late February.

Horton council received a letter from Corbin during the Feb. 5 meeting in which he announced his retirement. In response, all councillors expressed gratitude and wished him well in his retirement.

Cole was named fire chief effective Aug. 1. The appointment by-law will be brought before council in September.

HERE ARE THE FACTS.

THERE IS A LOT OF FALSE INFORMATION ‘FLOATING AROUND’ ABOUT CNL’S NSDF PROJECT.

For projects that are the size and scope of the Near Surface Disposal Facility (NSDF), it can be difficult to distinguish fact from fiction, so let’s set the record straight.

WHY DO WE NEED THIS FACILITY? CNL has conducted remarkable work over the past 60 years, including the production of lifesaving medical isotopes, and the development of CANDU reactors which cleanly, safely and reliably produce more than half of Ontario’s energy.

This work has also generated radioactive waste. While this waste was managed according to the best practices and regulations at the time, standards have changed. Some of this waste is now stored using outdated technology which in some cases has led to contamination.

Any water that enters the facility during operation would be diverted to a wastewater treatment plant to remove contaminants.

WHAT WILL GO INTO THE NSDF? The NSDF will only contain low-level radioactive waste such as soil from environmental clean-up work on the Chalk River site, demolition debris and general trash such as used personal protection clothing or equipment.

CNL is also in the process of revitalizing Chalk River Laboratories to create a world-class nuclear research centre.

The NSDF is a key element in enabling that transformation, helping us to protect the environment and ensuring the responsible and safe disposal of low-level radioactive waste.

The chosen site is over one kilometre from the Ottawa River along a bedrock ridge that naturally forces water to flow in the opposite direction of the river. It is close to the Chalk River campus which has the required support services and in an area that has existing waste storage sites.

WHAT IS THE NSDF? The NSDF is an engineered containment mound that will allow CNL to isolate low-level radioactive waste in a facility designed to keep this material separate from the environment and remove the present day risk. The waste will be isolated by a three metre thick multi-layer base liner and cover system that has been tested to last over 550 years, at which point the radioactivity will have decayed to levels you would find in the natural environment.

DOES THE LOCATION POSE A THREAT TO THE OTTAWA RIVER? No, it does not. The NSDF is designed to protect the Ottawa River, not to harm it and in fact remove the present risk that exists from historical operations.

While it’s hard to imagine a scenario where contaminants would penetrate the facility’s liner and not be handled by the waste water treatment system, it would still take an estimated seven years to travel through the ground and reach the Ottawa River, giving CNL ample time to detect and resolve the

I’VE HEARD YOU RELEASE TRITIUM INTO THE RIVER. WHAT IS THIS? Like all industries, CNL does have planned releases to the environment.

This includes the controlled release of tritium, a radioactive isotope found naturally in the environment, including the air you breathe and the water you drink. Tritium can be harmful in high concentrations. CNL will only permit releases that are carefully controlled and well below regulatory limits, posing no threat.

WHAT ABOUT A NATURAL DISASTER LIKE AN EARTHQUAKE OR A TORNADO? The NSDF has been designed to withstand extreme weather and events such as earthquakes, tornadoes, forest fires, sabotage and major storms.

The base of the facility is also located approximately 50 metres above the Ottawa River, much higher than any flood waters that might occur.

WHERE CAN I GET THE FACTS ABOUT THIS PROJECT? The NSDF is subject to a federal government-led and very public, environmental assessment process.

If you’d like to learn more about the project and the science which supports the decision-making, you can do so through this formal review process.

CNL wants to do the responsible thing and clean up this waste and manage it with modern technology.

WHERE WOULD IT BE BUILT? The proposed NSDF would be built at Chalk River Laboratories, where more than 90 per cent of the waste is already located. 14 locations were considered and judged according to size, access to utilities, flood risks, geotechnical considerations and species at risk.

issue. CNL’s environmental monitoring program already conducts tens of thousands of tests each year, and will be expanded to monitor conditions around the new facility.

WHY REPORT ON THE OPIOID CRISIS? ARNPRIOR OVERDOSES SHOCKED US INTO ACTION

insideottawavalley.com

DEREK DUNN Column

Agreeing to be interviewed by a reporter requires a leap of faith and a level of courage regardless the topic. For the opioid addict loss of trust is among the most insidious aspects of their reality. Anyone who is a slave to fentanyl or other narcotics is cloaked in distrust: dealers only want your money; other addicts only want your drugs. Paranoia, hostility, and alienation become standard.

Add to this the general public's stigma surrounding the recently proclaimed opioid crisis. (One study says 10 people die from illicit drug overdoses every day in Canada.) It is a moral failing, the logical extreme of hedonistic pursuit. Many look away rather than rudely express their belief: 'You have nobody to blame but yourself.'

I've produced a few stories on the topic lately, ever since OPP announced five Arnprior overdoses in a period. It shocked a few into action. A business owner kindly organized an overdose-prevention workshop.

A survivor bravely shared their story with me. Several shared their concerns about family members or simply their fellow town residents. Most of those conversations couldn't be "used" in stories. The infor-

mation was provided as deep background (meaning they provided facts that I would need to independently verify) or off record.

After two decades in journalism, my adherence to J-school training has diminished. Yes, off record only applies when the reporter agrees. And the reason for going off record must be compelling; I'm not on the punch-clock to engage in gossip. Still - a reporter (often a stranger to sources) is a sounding board or a cathartic outlet.

It helps them, but also helps to educate the reporter - a person uniquely positioned to reach large audiences.

I've learned and shared with our readers much about the opioid crisis. The vast majority of addicts, for instance, harbour some deep-seeded trauma. Sexual violence and abuse during childhood are common causes. There can be a genetic component to addiction. Hence the 'nobody to blame but yourself' is demonstrably wrong. Add in societal influences such as advertising, along with pain-killer addiction caused by hard manual work (a Marxist would have much to say about the brutalities of capitalism). It becomes obvious that most addicts are victims to be helped through mental health services, not criminals to be locked up in expensive jails.

The plan is to keep writing on this topic. There is much left to learn and share.

As a reporter at Arnprior Chronicle-Guide, Derek Dunn covers a wide range of stories including mental health and court news.

LETTERS & COMMENTARY MAIN STREET TREES, SIDEWALKS AN ISSUE To the editor: Hello, is anybody there?

Mr. Mayor, town council, apparently you are not doing business on main street Renfrew or you would notice there is a dead tree - oh no, try around 17 and the flower beds, the ones that have living plants or is it just weeds, not sure.

I can tell one thing, you could care less what main street looks like. Also, the sidewalks that you said you wouldn't be salting are starting to crumble and crack from the salt.

Back to main street, the beautiful hanging baskets are from the BIA, the people who do care. So thank you they do look great.

Mr. Mayor and town council I am giving you permission to use my portion of wasted tax dollars to go ahead and replace our trees. I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling this way. If I

am, that's a real shame.

SCOTT MCGUIRE RENFREW

I'M ONE OF THE AMBER ALERT WHINERS To the editor: I read your opinion piece (July 18, 2019) on the Amber Alert system with some consternation; I am one of those who "whines" about the system and am searching for ways to get it out of my life.

I appreciate your point about the value of a child's life, although children "abducted" in these cases are usually found anyway with no particular assistance from the Amber Alert system - the police often know the identity of the abductor.If we carry the CRTC (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission) argument to its logical conclusion, the absurd and unacceptable legislative requirement would be that every single telephone be always turned

on and be Amber Alert enabled. It is one thing to "wake the town and tell the people" of Toronto or Windsor if a child has been abducted in those towns, but if one lives in Arnprior or Eganville or Perth - what is the value of the wake-up call, other than to cause extreme annoyance and frustration?I would also challenge your characterization of being awakened in the middle of the night as a "mild annoyance." Many of your readers, I am sure, are insulted and angered by your trivialization of the need for proper sleep.

Our household pays a lot of money to have two cellphones. We do not pay this money so that we can be included among a select group doomed to receive alerts from Toronto or Windsor. If you live in Cornwall, it would make as much sense to be on an alert system for New York City.

Yours truly,

LETTER WRITER SUGGESTS SIGNS WITH 2 SPEED LIMITS To the editor: Municipalities and provinces are considering changing driving speeds.

As a driver, cyclist and pedestrian, there are two things I know.

First: not all roads and drivers are created equal.

Second, since the 1950s, road speeds (100 km/hour highway, 50 km/hour city streets) have not changed much even though the quality of road construction and vehicle technology has made quantum leaps forward.

The problem is not so much the specific speed, rather the fact that the legal speed is constant. It makes no sense that the speed on provincial highways is 90 km/hour both day and night; summer and winter; sunshine or freezing rain. That highway signage encourages car, truck and motorcycle drivers to all drive at 100 km/h. Almost no one drives the posted speed!

Good drivers consider road conditions, weather, time of day, season of the

year, lighting, vehicle condition - particularly tire type (all season, all weather, winter) as well as personal alertness.

I would suggest signs with two speeds. For example the sign for the on-ramp to the 417 would have numbers 130 over 85 signifying a speed of 130 km/h for daytime summer driving. The 85 value is for nighttime, wet road and winter driving. Where the highway is multi-lane the 130/85 values are for the fast and slow lanes.

The problem is infrastructure. On-off ramps, merging lanes and intersections are not designed for a cement truck to accelerate from 40 to 130 over the present length of merging lanes.

In town, an upper and lower speed helps designate slower speeds for schools, parks, and some residential areas without sidewalks. In those districts, the upper speed would be replaced with a symbol of a child, cyclist, horse and buggy or pedes-

SUMMER’S ALMOST DONE, LAST CHANCE FOR FUN?

trian to facilitate multi-use.

As road conditions deteriorate (recall the old 417) the upper speed could be reduced with a cover plate until the road surface is improved.

Signs are posted where the speed changes i.e. on/ off ramps to highways, intersections, slower zones/ crosswalks designated with painted diagonal lines on the road. No other signage would be allowed within 30 metres to prevent distraction. The slower (nighttime) speed would be

painted with highly fluorescent paint to show up under poor light conditions. Eliminate stupid signage i.e. '50 km/h ends' without specifying what the posted speed is - 60-7080?

I'd start by changing the signs on some 'problem' roads. Always remember that a civil engineer will tell you roads are built for specific speeds but roads don't drive - we do the driving.

The event was held at Waba Cottage Museum and Gardens in White Lake on July 28.

Waba Cottage has served as the Herbfest location for the past four years; the festival was held in Mississippi Mills for its first 20 years.

The event had over 60 vendors, including the Arnprior and District Humane Society, Harvest Honey, Movement Yoga and Fitness Studio and Mel-Lo Designs.

The venue also offered many displays, demonstrations, music, crafts, children’s activities and food and drink concessions.

DAY OF ACTION OPPOSES LEGAL AID CUTS

insideottawavalley.com

JONATHAN MULVIHILL jmulvihill@metroland.com Legal aid offices across Ontario voiced their opposition to significant cuts to their funding during the province-wide Day of Action on July 30.

Locally, the Renfrew County Legal Clinic held their event in front of Town Hall on Raglan Street.

This year the Renfrew County clinic is looking at a $50,000 cut to a $760,000 budget. Laura Hunter, a staff lawyer for the local clinic, says many of the communi-

ty-based clinics are in danger of closing due to funding cuts.

"If these cuts continue, that would mean a substantial loss of the frontline service we provide," she said.

"The most vulnerable to these changes are the ones who rely on our services and cannot afford to represent themselves in court."

Hunter added that they hope to reverse the current funding cuts and prevent further cuts from being made in the future.

The Renfrew County clinic was one of 74 commu-

nity clinics in Ontario that participated in the Day of Action in opposition of the provincial government's budget cuts.

In April, the Ford government announced $133 million in funding cuts to Legal Aid Ontario, with even more cuts expected in the next year.

Executive director Amy Scholten has appeared before many councils in Renfrew County to ask for support, including Arnprior and Greater Madawaska.

Responses from both councils were positive.

HYDRANT FLUSHING

RENFREW RIDING INCLUDES INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE JONATHAN MULVIHILL jmulvihill@metroland.com Dan Criger is offering to bring more attention to Renfrew County if elected for the riding of RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke.

Should the Independent candidate defeat long-time MP Cheryl Gallant of the Conservative Party, he promises to make it a priority to bring well paying jobs to Renfrew County.

"I will use my influence in parliament to let the country know that Renfrew County is an ideal place to do business," Criger said. "Economic development in Renfrew County is an investment in Canada.

Our proximity to Ottawa means Renfrew County should be the destination of choice for business and industry. If the federal government is serious about rural economic development, they should put their money where their mouth is, set the example for businesses and decentralize some government departments to bring well paying jobs to places like Renfrew County."

The Petawawa resident was previously a member of the People's Party of Canada, but lost the nomination to David Ainsworth.

He then chose to break from the party, announc-

Dan Criger ing his intention to run as an Independent candidate in early June.

In late May, former Liberals Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott announced they would run as Independents in the upcoming election.

Only a handful of Independent politicians have ever been elected federally in Canada, with none since 2008. Criger explains why an Independent choice is a good option for voters.

"I think Independent MPs are important because we can better represent the interests of the people in a riding, as opposed to the interests of a party," he said.

"If there is a minority government in October, and it looks like there will be, then that is when it is most important to have an Independent MP and when he is most powerful. Regardless of who wins, I would work with them because they will need my support to govern."

Criger added that while there is a heavy advantage to running Independent, there is also a slight downside.

"The main problem is actually getting the message out," he said. "I don't have the big machinery and money that supports the other candidates. They get free advertising every time their leader appears on TV or in print or makes a policy announcement.

They have decades of organization behind them while I need to start from scratch."

Criger explained what it would take to defeat Gallant, the MP for RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke for almost 20 years.

"There is a lot of discontent with Ms. Gallant but people complain to me that they have no other choice," he said. "I need to convince people I am a real and viable alternative. In the U.S. a first-time politician beat a career politician to become president, so it can be done.

But it is an uphill battle for sure."

The federal election is set for Oct. 21. Along with Ainsworth and Gallant, Criger will run against Ruben Marini of the Liberal Party and Ian Pineau of the Green Party. The NDP has not selected a candidate as of early August.

OPINION

FROM THE RENFREW COUNTY DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD BUDGET CHALLENGES AS BUSING COSTS MOUNT SUSAN HUMPHRIES Column

Finance and resource committee chair trustee Leo Boland brought forward a balanced budget for approval at our June board meeting.

We are pleased to approve a balanced budget of just over $135 million. Salaries and benefits and transportation make up 87 per cent of our expenses.

The budget process was particularly challenging this year as the grants information was delivered from the Ministry of Edu-

cation much later than usual.

Transportation costs continue to climb with $8.5 million spent this past year, with projected costs next year to be $8.8 million.

In the area of special education, we consistently spend more annually than the grant received - this is projected to be $16.8 million with a deficit of $1.2 million.

To quote Boland "Ultimately I believe that the district's budget for 20192020 balances fiscal responsibility with classroom investment.

It frames how we will directly support the great work of schools so that they may continue to make a positive difference in the lives of our students." For full details on the budget visit our website at www.RCDSB.on.ca.

Chamber of Commerce Award: Congratulations to the Grade 5/6 class at Central Public School. Mrs. Bennett and Mrs. Dubeau's class was awarded the Youth Citizen of the Year Award from the Renfrew Chamber of Commerce.

They worked hard to build their sense of community by raising money for the hospice through making Christmas planters, selling holiday bling and hosting a bake sale.

They also painted kindness rocks and wrote inspirational messages and have left them in the downtown core to brighten someone's day.

It was wonderful to have the community recognize the efforts made by these students and teachers.

Student Trustees: At our final board meeting of the 2018-2019 school year, we said goodbye to our "senior" student trustee, Sean McCloskey. McCloskey has been a wonderful addition to our board and brought a strong student voice to our discussions and decisions. He was key in strengthening the Student Senate, which has representatives from all of the secondary schools across the district. He also made his mark at the provincial level as he was elected the vice-president of the public board council, which is part of the Ontario Student Trustees Association (OSTA). He was nominated for a provincial award available through the Ontario Public School Board Association (OPSBA). The Jack A. MacDon-

ald Award of Merit is awarded to an elementary or secondary school student attending an Ontario public school within an OPSBA member board.

The award recognizes a sound academic record and outstanding community service and leadership.

Although Sean was not the winner, he received a certificate of recognition confirming his nomination by the Renfrew County District School Board (RCDSB). We wish McCloskey all the best as he enters Sir Wilfred Laurier University in the fall!

Graduations: Thirty-one grads in seven days across the district it is definitely the season to congratulate our Grade 8 and Grade 12 grads, as well as our Adult Education and Young Parents Program grads. These milestones are important to our students and it is wonderful to see their smiling faces so full of promise and opportunity!

Congratulations to each and every graduate!

SUMMER ALWAYS BROUGHT VISITS FROM THE TRAVELLING SALESMAN THE TWO MYSTERIOUS VISITORS BROKE THE MONOTONY, MARY COOK WRITES MARY COOK Column

Every day was the same during the summer, I thought. One day stretched into another, and the excitement that came when the twomonth school holiday began had worn off. Having relatives come broke the monotony, and having a friend over helped, but certainly having a visit from the Rawleigh man during a long summer month was something to

look forward to.

We never knew when he was coming, but we certainly knew when he was about to arrive. He sang at the top of his lungs all the way in our long lane, which sent our dog Sport heading for the barn, and gave us warning that he was on his way.

He had been coming for years, and knew us children by name, and called Mother just plain Mrs. He carried two big black suitcases, and never asked if it was a good time to visit, but simply took one at a time out of the back of his buggy, nodding to whoever was standing closest to

the kitchen door. He went right to the old pine table and hoisted up both cases, never stopped talking about what a glorious day it was, how blessed we were to live on a farm, be in good health, and have enough food to keep us alive. How he knew all this was beyond me.

We kids sat on the benches at the table, as the Rawleigh man laid out his wares, handling each item as if it was made of gold, and telling of its virtues, and how no kitchen or home should be without it. But Mother was no pushover. She put aside only what was absolutely needed, like vanilla and tinned mustard. Just before the man made his final pitch, he reached

R U O Y T E DON’ T L ASE E L E L C I VEH N. W O D U O CHAIN Y

down into the very bottom of his suitcase (and this is what we children were waiting for), he hauled out a little round case of sewing needles, handed it to Mother, and said "something for the Mrs." The visit was over.

Another caller to the farm every summer was from a man whose name we never knew. He was simply called "the picker." He was of dark complexion, wore a little round cap affair on the back of his head, and had a smile that could light up a darkened room. He spoke so softly, you could hardly hear him, but he came to see Father, who seemed to know exactly what the man was saying and what he wanted. He never came near the house, but drove his buggy right up to the barn where he and Father would be doing business. I was especially interested in his horse. It wasn't at all like our team,

heavy work horses, with burr-filled tails and who had never had a curry comb touch their bodies.

The picker's horse was sleek as silk, with thin legs, and its bridle shone like silver and with harness of the finest leather. It matched the buggy, which had been added to, to give it a longer look and with a box affair attached to the back where the picker put whatever he could buy from Father. He was interested only in hides and rags. From "putting down" our meat for the smoke house, the hides had been carefully stored in the barn awaiting a visit from the picker who seemed to know exactly when to come. The rags where simply old, and no longer of any use, grain bags which when emptied were piled in a heap in a corner of the barn.

There never seemed to be much negotiation over prices. Both Father and

the picker simply nodded to each other, a wad of bills was taken out of the man's pocket, he peeled off a couple, and Father pocketed the money with a simple handshake. I thought the visitor was a cut above the Rawleigh man, because he was so polite, never made small talk, was there to do business and be on his way.

And he wore a suit, which to me, was another indication that he was a man of higher standing.

Both visitors to our farm during those long summer days were what I looked forward to. Never knowing exactly when they would be coming, but assured they would come, added to the excitement. They broke the monotony, if only for a few hours on a hot summer day.

OPINION

BEAVERS ARE MODEL PARENTS MICHAEL RUNTZ OBSERVERS GENTLE, COMMITTED PARENTING IN THE WILD MICHAEL RUNTZ Column

As summer slowly slips away, dawn arrives in ever increasing silence. Most birds are finished with the task of raising young so their need for song - a male's announcement of territory ownership and/ or desire to attract a mate diminishes. Still, the repetitive phrases of Red-eyed Vireos and American Robins, as well as a few other voices, continue to greet the arrival of daylight, a sign that some birds are into their second or even third bout of nesting.

While most birds are

finished with parental duties for the year, large mammals continue to care for their young. Moose calves are still guarded by their mothers, as are the cubs of Black Bears. The latter stay with Mother into their second year, which is a good thing as male bears pose the greatest threat to their survival.

Beavers also display two years of parental attentiveness. However, both parents care for their young, a rare event in mammals: 90% of all mammals demonstrate female-only care.

In long-established colonies, three generations of Beavers co-inhabit the lodge. Each spring, as the oldest young approach their second birthday, they get served eviction notices and swim off to start new colonies somewhere else.

After unknowingly displacing their oldest siblings, for many weeks newborn Beavers are seldom seen outside the lodge. Only at this time of year are

they beginning to make daily (or, more appropriately, nocturnal) appearances outside it. Two weeks ago, a friend of mine witnessed a small baby hitching a ride on one of its parent's back. Not only did it maintain its grip while the adult swam, it remained attached when the adult dove underwater. At one point the youngster decided to have a go at swimming by itself; its parent responded by gently picking it up in its mouth and taking it back to the lodge!

Britta and I decided to canoe that same route in case this scenario was repeated but after four excursions we failed to witness it. However, we did observe plenty of Beaver activity, including an attempt at tail slapping by one of the babies. Its tail was so small that it hardly made a splash, quite unlike the voluminous water displaced by the tail of an adult.

Several times we came upon Beavers noisily

These were rolled into wraps, which as if on a conveyor belt, were steadily pushed into their mouths while their bright orange incisors (that colouration due to iron that reinforced the teeth's enamel) sliced them into little bits.

After soft whines of young Beavers were heard through the thick walls of their lodge, we parked our canoe nearby to get views

of Beavers coming and going from it. After half an hour of patient sitting, we were rewarded by the sight of one of the adults swimming toward the lodge, a hefty, leaf-laden branch of White Ash clenched between its teeth. As it neared the lodge, it dove.

Soon after, the happy moans of contentedly feeding baby Beavers emanated from the lodge!

GARNHAM, Marc Harry November 2, 1960 ~ July 23, 2019 Marc was born in Ottawa and spent his childhood there. At the tender age of 17, the Pacific coast called to him.

He remained in B.C. for the next 17 or 18 years exploring the wonders of the coast. At the time, Marc heard another call! It was time to return to Ontario.

He settled in the Renfrew area. Here he spent the next 15 years or so reconnecting with his brother Marty and his family. Marc became deeply loved by his newfound family and his many new friends. Marc did return to his beloved west coast with his fur-babies, his giant black dog Dante and his cat Folly. Marc returned home with his fur-babies to Dacre and the Renfrew area for the last seven years.

This was at the insistence of his brother Marty and his sister-in-law who wished to help and care for him as his health failed him. Marc passed peacefully at home with his family by his side. He is survived by his mom Constance Sheppey, aunt Carol (Chuck), brother Marty (Tammy) Fournier, step-sister Barbara Sheppey, many nieces and only nephew Dallas as well as three grand-nieces. Predeceased by his father Russell Garnham, paternal grandmother Mary Garnham, maternal grandparents Aureal Fex and Aline Lacroix. Arrangements entrusted to the care of the Goulet Funeral Home.
