Tragic Civic Holiday weekend

Quebec woman falls to death Lucy Hass lucy.hass@metroland.com

News - The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police has released the identities of two people who died in unrelated sudden deaths on the August long weekend. Amanda Tessier, 24 of Gatineau, Que., was found deceased after officers with the Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police responded about 2 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 3 to a report of two campers falling down an escarpment off Thomson Road in Horton Township. A 20-year-old man from Aylmer, Que., who was in a group of seven people camping at the site, had fallen about 35 feet and was assisted by police officers, firefighters and paramedics. He suffered minor injuries. Police and paramedics responded to an unrelated call Saturday evening Aug. 2 on Matawanooka Line in Greater Madawaska Township. The OPP reports that Phil Morris, 65, of Ottawa was eating food at a campfire when he began to choke. He was pronounced dead at the scene. MARINE FATALITY

Two people also died Sunday, Aug. 3 when the personal watercraft they were riding ran into rocks near Dow Island in Petawawa. Zachary Lapointe, 20, of Pembroke and 25-year-old Tiffany Burgess of

Petawawa died in the accident. Lapointe was a son of businessman Jim Lapointe and Burgess worked at Renfrew Chrysler. Six Ottawa Valley car dealerships owned by Lapointe – including Renfrew Chrylser – were closed Saturday for memorial services. PRELIMINARY REPORT

Three people died in three separate motor vehicle collisions and two other people died in a single marine incident, according to the OPP’s preliminary Civic Long Weekend fatality report. Over the weekend, the OPP was also looking for motorists to respect the Move Over Law, important legislation aimed at protecting police and other emergency responders at the roadside. As part of its efforts to keep the public safe over the long weekend, the OPP released a series of videos that serve to reinforce the importance of wearing a life jacket or personal flotation device (PFD) when heading out on the water. The videos were produced in response to the high number of fatal marine incidents in which the absence of a worn life jacket or PFD was a causal factor. The OPP was encouraged that no one died over the weekend as a result of not wearing this important lifesaving equipment.

Missing girls found after 15-hour search in Greater Madawaska Steve Newman

steve.newman@metroland.com

News – Two young girls, who were missing for more than 15 hours in a wooded area of Greater Madawaska Township, were found in good health Tuesday afternoon, Aug. 5. The youngsters were located by a member of the emergency response team who was travelling on foot. “I’m just glad we have a happy ending,” said Const. Janice Sawbridge, the community service officer for the Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police. Renfrew detachment members were among several police officers

who combed the area around Airds Lake to look for the girls. They had gone off to play hideand-seek and had not returned by dark on the holiday Monday at a camping area on Airds Lake, near Matawatchan. The nine-year-old girl, Ember Greatriz, was from North Frontenac Township, southwest of Greater Madawaska Township, while the nine-year-old, Elya Munro, was from Barrie. The cousins were vacationing in the area with family members. Police forces responded to the incident, around 10 p.m., but the girls weren’t discovered until shortly after 1 p.m. the next day.

Kelly steps in to create mayoral race in A-B Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

News - Admaston-Bromley has a mayoral race. Jack Kelly filed his nomination papers July 18 and will run for the township’s top position alongside current councillor Michael Donohue Oct. 27. Incumbent Raye-Anne Briscoe has yet to decide if she’ll run. A married father of four and grandfather of six, and soon to be seven, Kelly spent 19 years on council over six terms. In one term, Kelly was elected deputy reeve of the former township of Admaston. He was also appointed deputy mayor for the amalgamated township. In 2010, Kelly ran for mayor but was defeated by Briscoe. “You got to want to do it,� Kelly said of running for political office. “I’ve always thoroughly enjoyed being on council. I enjoy the educational aspect

of it, the people that you meet. You get to know a lot more people in the community, and be more involved in the community.� Kelly doesn’t believe in running for a specific reason. “If you are going in there specifically because you want to change something, I don’t think that’s the reason to run. You’ve got to want to do it for many other reasons, and I believe for your community is the biggest one.� A former reeve once told him: “When you get on council, when all else fails use a farmer’s brain, and that was common sense. I don’t believe there is enough of that anymore.� Community policing is an enormous issue with every municipality, Kelly said. “I think it’s time the government really takes a good look at it. If you look at the private sector and the working class, most companies have been held to one or

ney McNulty and Reeve Allan Riddell. “I learned a lot from them.� Kelly is glad to see the township dispose of the ward system. “Everybody has a chance to pick who they want. In the end, it’s what it all boils down to on the 27th. It’s the people who are going to make the choice. “Some people may already have their minds made up. Any that don’t, well, it’s up to us to persuade them.�

two per cent, depending on what the cost of living is. Our police force just got an eight per cent increase. We’re the people paying that. We’re not getting the increases as a working class, but yet we’ve got to pay for it.� The first year Kelly ran for municipal office, his bid was successful. “It was a good feeling.� At 33 and the youngest candidate, Kelly led the election in votes and joined the likes of Keith Foy, Cecil Crozier, Rod-

Jack Kelly seeks a return to municipal politics as mayor of Admaston-Bromley Township. PETER CLARK/ METROLAND

Now Renfrew has four mayoral contestants Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Just over a month after announcing he wouldn’t seek re-election as mayor of Horton Township, Don Eady is seeking the mayor’s job in the Town of Renfrew. On July 8, Eady told Horton council that he needed a new lease on life and indicated that he had a couple of opportunities. He was not specific at the time. After 14 years in municipal politics, the 68-year-old provided a prepared statement to The Renfrew Mercury. The statement began: “After much deliberation and conversations with my family, I have decided to run in the fall election for the position of mayor of Renfrew. “The Town of Renfrew has been a very important part of my life. I have worked and owned property in the Town of Renfrew

for over 45 years. “I own a house in Renfrew and I looking forward to once again living in the Town of Renfrew,� continued the statement from the former Renfrew downtown business owner. “I am looking forward to a new challenge. As all candidates are, I will be asking for your support (as town residents). Eady, who is one of 17 members of Renfrew County council, will not remain on county council, whatever the result of the Oct. 27, 2014 mayoral race. Renfrew County council’s Renfrew representation is filled by the reeve. Reeve Audrey Green, and former councilllor Kate Windle, are the reeve candidates to date. Renfrew’s first entries in the mayoral race were Callum Scott and current councillors Tom Anderson and Jim Miller. Eady said he planned to file his nomination papers Thursday of this week.

The rock is being removed and relocated to the lower end of the site. The remaining penstock will now be installed, starting at the corner of the existing building, and finishing at the headworks (in the lower centre of photo).

IMPORTANT NOTICE HYDRANT FLOW TESTING The Town of Renfrew wishes to advise residential, commercial and institutional users that hydrant flow testing is being performed on the Renfrew Water Distribution System and will take place during the month of August, weather depending. This testing is essential to confirm how much fire flow is available from each municipal hydrant in the distribution system. During this time the water distribution system will experience disturbance of sediment that will cause red water in some areas. If red water is observed residents should run the cold water to drain until the water returns to a clear condition. Water system pressures will also be affected for short periods of time over the three week period which may cause temporary disruptions to residential, commercial and institutional fixtures. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the Department of Development and Works at (613) 432-8166.

Renfrew Power Generation Project director

News - Renfrew Power Generation’s Thomas Low Generating Station project is re-developing the Renfrew site at Bridge Street with a new power plant and water conveyance infrastructure with rehabilitation of the existing canal and dam. Construction started June 10, 2013. In our last update, we indicated work was centred around the ongoing work at the new

powerhouse and finishing installation of the penstock through the parking lot of the existing plant. Since that update, blasting of the rock in the parking lot has been completed. We appreciate the public’s patience with the minor traffic disruptions on Bridge and Lochiel streets. You will also note the area where the penstock was installed along Mutual Street is being returned to its former grade. Inquiries about the project can be directed to TLGSinfo@renfrewpg.ca.

There’s also a lot happening that we can’t see from outside the fence. “All under slab plumbing and electrical conduit has been installed, and prep work for the first floor concrete pad is also underway,” reported RVH Project Manager Bob McParland as of early August.

Work has begun on the “hoist way” for the elevator behind the emergency department, and the emergency generator is on site. “The project is running on schedule,” noted McParland. Meanwhile, renovations on the second floor are close to completion with plans to open two more renovated patient rooms later this month. “This work has been done in the 1926 wing of the hospital, which had very few washrooms, making infection control difficult,” says McParland. Improvements include handicap accessible washrooms, and one washroom for two patients.

,FZ UP B TUSPOH DPNNVOJUZ After 12 years of working and living in Renfrew, RCI Teacher Adam Noack has developed a deep appreciation and loyalty for the community he has come to call home. He’s quick to point out the many advantages it offers—beginning with Renfrew Victoria Hospital. “I choose RVH because it is a pillar of the community. I don’t know if many people are aware what they have. It’s a gem.” Adam Noack

Noack believes that RVH plays a vital role in providing opportunity, building our community and keeping it vibrant and strong, and that role will only be strengthened by the current expansion and redevelopment project. He has noticed over the years that many young people feel they must leave town in search of opportunities elsewhere, but he’s optimistic that will change. “This is a reason for people to come back to Renfrew. There’s a lot to offer here, and the hospital is one reason for people to stay and return,” he states.

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

The lightning flashed and the thunder crashed and the pipes and drums played on. The rain poured down Monday evening, Aug. 4 but the program at Low Square in Renfrew, marking the centenary of the First World War, went on and power was restored to the sound system. One hundred years of war and peace was remembered as Renfrew Legion Branch 148 paraded to the cenotaph where tribute was paid to the fallen of the First World War. The organizers were pleased with the large turnout. After a parade from the Legion hall, members and the general public placed candles in memory of the war fallen as the names were read by Cheryl Babcock.

EDITORIAL

Air travel still one of the safest ways to get around

Opinion - Despite the latest air disasters, air travel is still one of the safest forms of transportation around. You are in more danger driving to the airport to get to your plane than you ever are at any time from airport gate to airport gate. This statement may seem to fly in the face of what was a dismal few weeks for aviation recently, but it is still true. The news of three major airline crashes was shocking but, as with everything, we need to take a deep breath, stand back and take a look at the reality. First the good news. According to the Aviation Safety Network, there have only been 12 airline crashes so far this year. There were 29 last year. But now the bad news. Those 12 planes were carrying more people, meaning that, yes, there were more fatalities so far this year compared

to last year, 761 in 2014 compared to 265. Within the space of a week, we saw Malaysia Airlines MH17 brought down by a missile over the Ukraine, killing 298, on July 17. Then, in the same 48-hour period, we saw TransAsia Airways GE222 crash on a small island off of Taiwan, killing 48 with 10 survivors on July 23, followed by the crash of Air Algerie AH5017 in the Mali desert, killing all 118 on board, on July 24. But we need to keep things in perspective. From 1970 to 1979, there was not a single year where the number of airline deaths dipped below 1,000. In the past decade, the number of airline deaths peaked above 1,000 once, in 2005. Even the Swiss Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Archives, which, according to the Toronto Star, tracks commercial airline disasters, shows that the number of accidents worldwide has been

falling nearly ever year since 1943. And that statement we made earlier about driving? It’s backed up by American Scientist magazine, which shows that driving just over three miles, or 4.8 km, in a car on the safest highways can still put motorists at a greater risk than airline passengers. Now, some things we simply cannot account for. Even if you believe that the Russians fired a missile at Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, all evidence seems to suggest that it was a mistake. Pro-Russian commanders believed that they were shooting at a Ukrainian troop plane. We can take small solace in the fact that a civilian airplane was not intentionally targeted. However, we cannot say the same for Hamas, whose rockets are intentionally being lobbed into Israel.

This matters to the flying public because Tel Aviv’s Ben-Gurion Airport has been targeted. An Air Canada jet had to be diverted on its approach there. This leads to a serious question: why are international air authorities continuing to allow planes into and out of the Tel Aviv airport during a time of obvious hostilities? Neither the Israelis nor Palestinians can vouch for the safety of airline passengers. They cannot even guarantee the safety of their own citizens at this point. Air crash investigators need to be given more teeth or, failing that, their findings need to have some type of immediate follow-up from governments. Only third-party regulations from the government, having been arrived at by experts in the field, and actively enforced, will continue to drive down the number of crashes.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Lovely memory To the editor:

Opinion - Each year we do the flower bed at the corner of Raglan and Munroe in memory of Mom. This year, we were approached by Brian and Sandra Teske of Teske Spin Farm, asking if they could donate all of the flowers to the bed. I graciously accepted and, in turn, would like to recognize them for their kind donation. Only in Renfrew does someone see you digging in a flower bed and stop to offer to fill the bed with flowers. Ryan Campbell at the flower beds maintained in Tanya Campbell Renfrew

memory of his grandmother and former Renfrew town councillor, the late Lois Leclaire.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thanks to Renfrew recreation trail maintenance crews To the editor:

Opinion - The mid-summer flowers were blooming when we turned the corner on the Ma-Te-Way Park Trail near Opeongo Road last Saturday about 7 a.m. A few hundred feet away a doe and her teenage offspring stood staring back with equal surprise to see us on the path. The walking trails around Ma-Te-Way Park and along the Millennium Trail that we and our dogs frequent have never looked better or been

more satisfying. We want to extend our thanks to the unsung trail crews who have done the best job in years in improving and maintaining our trails. Communities across Canada are finally waking up to the health and economic benefits of re-defining themselves as walkable. Renfrew has joined this effort and the results are showing up. We are just a few more citizens who are making use of these amazing resources.

We’ve started a new monthly walking group, The Kick and Push Pedestrian Society (KAPPS), that is “tracing the tracks, one step at a time.” On the fourth Sunday of the month we explore these former train beds. The widening of the trails and the addition of the dust finish has transformed these walkways for walkers, runners and cyclists. All those municipal and other staff who have shown the foresight and determination to im-

prove these trails have earned our heartfelt appreciation. By the way, our next KAPPS walk, a 10-km walk to Goshen Road, starts from The Station at 220 Carswell at 9 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 24. Come on out and see how lucky we are to have these pathways. Ray Parchelo and Judy LeClair Renfrew

Schools need more focus on technology To the editor:

Opinion - I really enjoyed reading Steve Newman’s item on the Renfrew inventor, Michael Brisebois. The fact that he can have international success and still work out of the valley should inspire people. But our schools and municipal governments need to encourage technologybased jobs. I know too well that Ren-

frew and area towns suffer because of poor technology training. My daughter is going into Grade 12 at Renfrew Collegiate Institute this September. She is very disappointed in the programs the school has for science and computing. It seems the emphasis is on sports, sports and more sports. We need a better balance, otherwise our kids will be left

behind in an era of Internet jobs. Maybe Renfrew Collegiate Institute should ask Mr. Brisebois for his thoughts on this. Maybe there is a solution to bring Renfrew into a connected age. What do the mayoral candidates have to say about that? Sincerely, Brenda Ledman Admaston-Bromley

OPG IS CONDUCTING RESEARCH ON THE OTTAWA RIVER

2014 Renfrew Fair

Maple syrup competition challenging Bill Gagan Farm Produce

Community - Challenging – that has to be the word that best describes our recent syrup season. Those folks who were anxious to get going plunged through the snow to get their tapping completed and then waited and waited and waited! Finally the (more or less) right temperatures arrived and dribble, dribble it started. It is a ritual of spring for syrup makers (with cans and pails) to hear those first “pings” in the bottom of the pails and then to get a taste of the sap. (“Not too much or you’ll get the runs,” Grampa said.) While the run always varies from year to year and bush to bush, it is generally reported that most people had a hard time to get enough sap to begin boiling but did, in the end, produce 30 to 50 per cent of their average. Many producers have discovered that the syrup is dark and some have gone so far as

to say that because of the colour they would not have an entry for the fair. However, the colour situation affects many of our entrants and we do have a dark category. Dark syrup is a minor inconvenience compared to the problems of one pair of fair syrup participants who had excessive amounts of mineral in their sap and were forced to filter several times before the syrup had the clarity they desired. Mother Nature likes to keep you on your toes. The fair syrup competition is a fun event and the committee is looking forward to seeing old and new entrants. There is a special category for anyone who has never entered in the syrup division before. 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.

TO PROTECT ONTARIO’S BIODIVERSITY. Ontario Power Generation is conducting research downstream of OPG’s Chenaux and Chats Falls hydroelectric generating stations. This research, which is being carried out by Kleinschmidt Associates, is in support of OPG’s ongoing American eel migration studies and the enhancement of Ontario’s lake sturgeon population. Kleinschmidt’s boat may be in close proximity to the shoreline as it completes day and night-time fishing abundance studies and shoreline inspections. This yearly research is being conducted under permits from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and in accordance with O. Reg. 242/08 (as amended by O. Reg. 176/13) under the Ontario Endangered Species Act. Work will continue until the end of October. Please visit www.opg.com to learn more about OPG’s biodiversity programs. If you have any questions about these studies, contact OPG at 613-433-9673, extension 3350.

Community - The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has released a series of public service announcements in an effort to raise awareness about the important role that lifejackets and personal flotation devices play in saving lives in boating incidents. The majority of boating fatality victims

recovered in OPP marine investigations this season would have likely survived had they been wearing a lifejacket or PFD. The public service announcements (PSAs) reflect the OPP’s latest efforts to reach out to boaters and get them to wear this important life-saving equipment rather

than just having it nearby, as many boaters do when tragedy strikes. Three new, original PSA videos in varying lengths are now available on YouTube for the general public to view. Visit the OPP website at www.opp.ca.media/PFD/PSA_ WaterSafety for the video links.

VICTIM SERVICES OF RENFREW COUNTY

The Renfrew OPP would like to thank Victim Services of Renfrew County for all they do for victims of crimes and tragedies in our communities. Victim services volunteers are available to provide on-site immediate assistance through police or fire referrals. With your consent, the police will call the Victim Services office. A team of trained volunteers can be dispatched to provide immediate help and emotional support. They can also refer you to agencies that can give you longer-term support. These services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, August 14, 2014 11

Black and white and red all over The Renfrew and District Quilters’ Guild will be selling tickets at the Renfrew Fair on their fundraising quilt named after The Renfrew Mercury because it is, as the old riddle goes, black and white and red all over. Standing by the quilt are guild members Barb Jamieson and Lillian Veenstra. Each year the guild makes what it calls a ‘charity quilt’ which is donated to a local non-profit group to be used as a charity fundraiser. This year the guild has also made a quilt and will be selling tickets for an Oct. 28 draw to raise money to help finance its quilt show. LUCY HASS/METROLAND

Online health resource helps seniors, caregivers

News - Almost three-quarters of Canadians now turn to the Internet for health information, according to a recent survey conducted for Canada Health Infoway. While online search results can be overwhelming, a local website aims to provide a one-stop-shop to help patients and caregivers find health services in their communities. Champlainhealthline.ca offers information on more than 3,600 programs and services geared to people living in Renfrew County, Ottawa, Prescott and Russell, Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, and North Lanark and North Grenville. Popular search topics on the website include services for seniors (exercise classes, assisted living, home

care, long-term care homes), health care facilities (walk-in clinics, nursing clinics, laboratories), foot care for diabetics, and transportation services. The site also connects caregivers with helpful services such as respite and adult day programs, support groups, and dementia-related resources. “There is a multitude of health resources in the community, and every individual has different needs,” said caregiver Russ Morton. “Champlain Healthline helps caregivers find the right fit for their loved one, like finding the right puzzle piece.” People who do not have Internet access can call the Champlain CCAC at 613-310-2222 for help getting connected to services in their area.

Ghost Walk Aug. 15 at the McDougall Mill Museum Community - It’s not uncommon for staff at the McDougall Mill Museum to hear comments from Renfrew’s own residents that they either did not know we had a museum. or that they had never set foot in it, although they were planning on it for quite some time. Regardless, time and time again, first-time visitors leave the museum in awe of the sheer amount of information and artifacts that have been generously donated to our little hidden gem of an establishment. The McDougall Mill Museum allows individuals from the area to learn interesting pieces of information about Renfrew County, and oftentimes discover history of their ancestors. Whether you’ve lived in Renfrew your entire life, or are just visiting for the week, the museum is most definitely a worthwhile trip. The summer of 2014 has been a successful one for the McDougall Mill Museum, and with only a few short weeks left of our open season, we are hoping for an even greater success. Not only is the museum an amazing place for

adults and seniors to learn more of their heritage and have a chance to take a step back in the past, we have also made the museum a fun, interactive place for the many children visiting daily to become educated in the history of their town. From ‘cooking’ a meal on an old woodstove, to playing a tune on our infamous player piano, we have numerous activities set up on each of our three floors that are a great hit. In addition to our annual Kids Week, which was held in mid-July, and resulted in many smiling, face-painted, faces, we will be having our third annual Ghost Walk on Aug. 15. These nightly tours showcase many eerie artifacts within the museum and are filled with folklore tales set in Renfrew County. Finally, from Aug. 17 to 23 we are hosting a Seniors Week – with free admission and treats for seniors. With each of these special events hosted each year, we hope to continue to gain more and more success with each season, and look forward to seeing many new and some familiar faces during our final weeks of the summer.

LUCY HASS/METROLAND

The wonder of wheels A group of MGs lined up along Raglan Street in Renfrew earlier this summer stirred a lot of attention from automobile fanatics and general passersby. The British sports car manufacturer, MG Car Company Limited, was founded by Cecil Kimber in 1924 and is best known for its two-seat open sports cars, saloons and coupes. Car enthusiasts can indulge their passion Saturday, Sept. 12 at the 11th anniversary of the annual Summer’s End Car Show and Swap Meet for Dad. Held each year at the Renfrew Fairgrounds, the charity event has grown each year to consistently host over 200 entries. The show features everything from remote control cars and big rigs to antique, classic and muscle cars, trucks, vintage snowmobiles and motorcycles. The show is organized by the local branch of the Canadian Cancer Society as a prostate cancer awareness event and fundraiser. For more information on next month’s show, visit www.renfrewcarshowfordad.ca oremail renfrewcarshowfordad@gmail.com

We didn’t know that morning, God was going to call your name‌ In life we loved you dearly, In death we do it same. It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, You are always by our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same‌ But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again. Love Shawna, Jason, Ally, Keelynd, and Skylar xoxo

IN MEMORIAM

Ben Surnoski

(January 27, 1957 – August 14, 2013)

A dear husband and father who passed away August 17, 2013 Sadly missed along life’s way, Quietly remembered every day, No longer in our life to share, But in our hearts he’s always there.

The time has past Just one year ago It happened so fast That you had to go God softly whispered Of a place set for you Among His treasured But from our view So from our sight Safe and secure He brought you home To His love so pure And if God wills We’ll meet again one day When God calls us home In His love to stay Deeply missing your smile, your laugh and your presence in our life

With Love and Prayers Theresa, Debbie, Maria, Elaine and families

In Memory of Richard Wright who passed away suddenly, August 12, 2013 We little knew that day God was going to call your name. No farewell words were spoken, No time to say goodbye, You were gone before we knew it, And only God knows why. In life we loved you dearly. In death, we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you. You did not go alone. For part of us went with you. The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories. Your love is still our guide. And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same. But God calls us one by one. The chain will link again. Love always, forever in our hearts Mom, Dad (Joan), Gregg (Jen), Darryl, and pets Blue, Bobby & Smoky

Last summer productions of Stone Fence show this week Stone Fence Theatre

Community - Many fans are surprised at about this time of year to realize there are very few choices left for Stone Fence Theatre in summer. Our last two performances of G’day, We’re from the Valley, EH! until September take place in Eganville, Aug. 13 and 14. Pre-show performers Aug. 13 are the amazing Donahue Family of Douglas. On Aug. 14 it’s the ever-popular Helferty Family. If you haven’t made it to the show yet this season, these will be two great evenings. Thanks to John Yakabuski! Our MPP John Yakabuski starred as himself in our July 31 performance in Barry’s Bay. John is one of our most loyal and vocal supporters, and he did a great and quite self-deprecating job. It was a lot of fun for us and the 300 fans who attended. We thank John, who we hope will be back with us in fall, for all his support and for being such a good sport. FALL PERFORMANCES

Female hooded merganser leads her brood

Inexperience leads to trouble when immature accipiters try to capture food. Chris Gordon at Springtown relates an incident of a sharp-shinned hawk striking a window in their home, and sends us this email. Yesterday this young bird was sitting on the roof rack of my parked car. This same bird has swooped and hit windows on the other side of our house last week, so I kept an eye on it. We have three young kittens that I didn’t want to be prey. Accipiters feed on birds and in their attempt to catch prey crash into windows, often injuring themselves. As to sharp-shinned

hawks preying on kittens it is possible but small animals appear more tempting to dogs, other cats and weasels. If the kittens do not have their mother to protect them, it is best to keep them inside. SWALLOW-TAILED KITE

Allan Vezina saw a swallow-tailed kite near his home at Spruce Hedge. This species is extremely rare this far north and is considered to be a stray from its year-round range in Florida. At certain times of the year, after the breeding season in the spring and summer, they can wander as far north as Ontario according to National Geographic “Birds of North America”. The deep swallow tail and large size (compared to other swallow-tailed birds) of this species are the best field marks. NOISY YOUNG CROWS

There is not another bird that makes such a fuss about getting fed as young crows. When they can fly they follow the parents about calling loudly demanding food. The call begins as a begging call and ends up sounding as if the bird is gargling or choking. The calls seem to cause the adults to intensify their search for food. The noisy feeding sessions go on for two or three weeks.

NOISY RAVENS

Ravens have been very talkative for the past few weeks. The chatter that goes on between adults and young has added several new sounds to their already large vocabulary. Once they have learned to fly, the young fly back and forth to the nest and are fed by the parents for about two weeks. After that they move away to other areas to find food but remain with their parents for the next five to six months. When comparing crows and ravens the best field marks are the slightly rounded tail of the crow as compared to the diamondshaped tail of the raven and crows caw, ravens croak. When ravens fly overhead you can hear the air passing through their feathers, if you cannot see them you can hear them.

This year there have been no reports of purple martins or chimney swifts. A few nighthawks have been heard and seen but not many. If you have been fortunate enough to have seen any of these species please let us know and we may be able find reasons for the disappearance of the martins and swifts and the decline of the night hawks. Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, R R 5 Renfrew, Ontario K7V 3Z8 Phone 613-432-2738. Please note our new email address of jameshf@xplornet.com

Lifestyle - Carol McCuaig sent us this email. Hi, Jim and Ila: I have a female hooded merganser on the pond near my house, swimming around in wide circles while her eight young enjoy themselves ducking and diving. What a happy sight! Carol As with other precocial birds, young mergansers are able to feed themselves, swim and dive shortly after hatching. They remain with their mother for warmth and protection until it is time to migrate. Mergansers have saw bills and a prominent crest that can be raised and lowered when required. Their diet consists of small fish and aquatic insect larvae. The male hooded merganser has a black crest with a triangular-shaped white patch in the centre. The female crest is tan. If nest sites are limited females will lay eggs in any nest they can find and it is not unusual for a female to be leading a family of up to 20 young. She would normally have eight to 10.

30 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, August 14, 2014

Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Community - Keith McDonald and guide dog Murphy received extra and most welcomed support in their fundraising efforts for the 30th annual Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind walk May 25 at Andrew Hayden Park in Ottawa. When Kylie Beattie, 9, of Bristol, Que., saw McDonald and Murphy at a table at Renfrew Walmart collecting funds for guide dogs, she wanted to help. Kylie’s grandmother, whom she was never fortunate enough to meet, was stricken with Scarlet Fever and suffered from blindness early in life. She also worked for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. “I did a project in school and started to learn about her,” Kylie said. Her chance meeting with McDonald and Murphy inspired her to make homemade bracelets in memory of her grandmother. She sold them for TRACY SMITH 75 cents with all proceeds going to Kylie Beattie, 9, of Bristol, Que., drops off her homemade bracelets to the walk.

Summers thrilled to be drafted by the Ottawa Senators Tiffany Lepack tiffany.lepack@metroland.com

Sports – Kelly Summers was getting ready for his graduation and prom on Saturday June 28, when his phone rang. “I was just hoping it wasn’t my date getting mad at me for being late, but I picked it up and it was my (hockey) advisor,” said Summers. “I heard my parents screaming upstairs so I got the news that I was drafted and it was pretty cool.” The Carleton Place Canadians defenceman from Golden Lake had been drafted by the Ottawa Senators. He was their eighth pick of the draft, 189th overall, and the first Canadians player ever drafted by an NHL team. “It’s very exciting,” said Summers. “They were my hometown team, my favourite growing up. It was definitely very exciting to get drafted here.” Once he got to his graduation at Madawaska Valley District High School in Barry’s Bay, his date was OK that he was late and all of his friends knew the good news as well. “It was fun. As soon as I walked in everyone else knew, so it was all hugs and happy. It was pretty cool and made it special,” said Summers. Randy Lee, assistant general manager in charge of hockey operations and player development with the

TIFFANY LEPACK/METROLAND

Former Carleton Place Canadians defenceman Kelly Summers of Golden Lake, third from left, hits the ice at the Bell Sensplex during the Ottawa Senators development camp. Senators, said he was excited to get Summers after they had a positive interview with him before the draft. “He really sold us on himself… he really spoke well. He’s very confident and he was very good at projecting what type of player he will be for us,” said Summers. “We were excited about that.” Lee was also able to watch Summers play when the Canadians won the Fred Page Cup, and the Bogart Cup, and play in the RBC Cup.

Lee said it was a good experience for Summers. “We saw from him that he could up his game in a tough situation which is encouraging for us.” The Canadians lost the RBC final 4-3 in overtime to the Yorkton Terriers after the Terriers tied the game with three minutes to go. Lee describes Summers as big strong kid who jumps into the play well, and likes how he moves the puck. But Lee knows what he needs to do to improve. “We are going to

get his feet moving faster and I think when he plays with a bit more of an edge he is going to be a really effective player,” said Lee. Summers agrees he has to work on his footwork. “You see some of the guys here (at the Senators development camp), how quick they can accelerate and pivot, that’s something I’m going to work on this summer and continue to get better at,” said Summers. “It’s stuff I’ve been working on, just trying

to get my game to the next level.” His next step is to attend Clarkson University, an NCAA Division 1 school on a four-year scholarship. He is taking business. “I want to go as far as I can with hockey, but if it doesn’t work out it’s a great fallback.” Lee will be in touch with Summers on a weekly basis to oversee his development and thinks that Clarkson will be a good school for his development. The Ottawa Senators now have up to four years to sign him. “A lot can happen right now,” said Summers. “My plan is to go to school and get a degree, but if I start playing well and get in the AHL (American Hockey League), that’s an option. I will have to look at that when I get there.” Lee said they are patient with their prospects. “We have no problem letting him take as long as he needs. We want him to play important minutes there (at Clarkson)… be an important player there,” said Lee. “When we think his development will be helped by going to a higher level, that’s the time we will sign him and bring him out.” For now Summers has one job to do for the Senators, according to Lee. “His job now is to paint a good picture of who he is as a player and earn a contract from us.”

Lemoyre’s first, Smith’s fourth Renfrew Golf Club open titles Steve Newman

steve.newman@metroland

Sports - Chances were Rob Warren, 65, would battle for the open men’s title at the Renfrew Golf Club last weekend. After all, a recent round of 65 matched his age and marked one of the highlights of his golf career that includes 10 open men’s title on his home course. But it wasn’t to be, as he struggled to rounds of 74 and 77 and a thirdplace score of 151.

“I’ve been playing well, with the 65 and some 68s,” said Warren. “I’ve been hitting the ball pretty good and making some putts, but you’d never know it today.” Facing a three-shot deficit with nine holes to go, Warren reflected, “On the back, I thought I could get him, but I wasn’t sharp at all.” Defending champion Jonah O’Connor, 19, also figured to be in the mix, and a second-day round of 69 indicated that he

game. Now with the title under his belt, he says, after a previous best of third place two years ago. “It means a lot. I’ve played in this championship four years,” said Lemoyre. “You always want to win something. I’ve been a member 10 years, so it means a lot.” The championship featured several close battles, including playoffs to determine three titles. There were playoffs for the men’s C and women’s B divisions. Jim Horner overcame Lawrence Gallagher after both shot 173s, while Christine O’Hara and Katie Anderson shot 183s before O’Hara prevailed. The other playoff lasted five holes, before Lisa Smith, 55, prevailed over Mary Ann Abrams, 59, with a nine-foot birdie putt on the short but uphill par-five 10th. Neither had experienced a championship playoff, but Abrams wasn’t complaining about the result that left defending champion Smith with her fourth women’s title. “It was hot, it was hot,” said Abrams of the hot, humid Sunday, when each shot rounds of 87. “None of us had our A game.” Abrams also bogeyed the 18th, while Smith chipped in for a birdie four, to force the playoff. “It’s always fun,” said Smith of playing the club championship. “It makes me nervous, but it’s fun. But you know what? If I had lost today, I wouldn’t have felt any different.” See RGC, page 35

These are some of the major winners following the Renfrew Golf Club championships last weekend. From left are Lesley Murray, women’s C division; Patrick Holmes, men’s B division; women’s champion Lisa Smith; super senior Bob Gould; Carter Jarrett, novice division; men’s champion Tim Lemoyre Jr.; Steve Mulvihill, senior champion; Christine O’Hara, women’s B division; Jim Horner, men’s C division; women’s captain Barb Desilets; men’s captain Brian Hewitt; and golf professional Christine Jarrett.

should have been. But he stumbled out of the gate, with an opening round of 85, en route to a fourth-place 158. The eventual champion was 21-year-old Tim Lemoyre Jr. of Kinburn, with a oneunder 70 in Saturday’s opening-day action. Such a good round still included a fourputt double bogey on the par-five 15th, as well as five birdies, including one on the par-four first when he hit a six iron and a wedge and canned a seven-footer. He also hit 16 of 18 greens in regulation. But Lemoyre saw his game unravel on day two and he didn’t know what to expect when he made the 27hole turn with a threestroke advantage over Warren and four shots over Steve Mulvihill. “I thought I would come out today (Sunday) and play just as well (as Saturday), but it was just a grind. I just kept telling myself I could do,” said Lemoyre, who was four-over on the front nine Sunday. But Lemoyre hung on, with a closing round of 78, to clinch his first Renfrew Golf Club’s open men’s title by a shot over senior club champion Mulvihill, 148 to 149. “Good job, I knew you could do it,” were the congratulating words from his dad, Tim Sr., who was also playing in the championship. Lemoyre, who works for Cavanagh Construction as a field technician, only gets to the Renfrew club on weekends, but evenings after work he’s often at the Greensmere club near Kinburn honing his

Ontario earns silver at Indigenous Games

Peter Clark

peter.clark@metroland.com

Sports - Gerry Benoit says the players on the team that he coached to the silver medal at the North American Indigenous Games (NAIG) probably don’t realize the magnitude of what they have accomplished. “Not everyday as an Aboriginal player and coach do we get to play one game to be the best team in North America,” Benoit said. Benoit was the coach of the under 14 boys basketball team, which brought silver medals home as the Ontario representative at the 2014 NAIG held at Mosaic Stadium in Regina, home of the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League. The Games were held July 20 to 27. It was an accomplishment coach Benoit will not soon forget, and culminated a lot of hard work that began with tryouts at the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan Makwa Centre back in March. “It was very intense basketball,” Benoit

said of the Games. “The ball bounced our way, except for the last game.” The u14 boys division featured eight teams grouped in into two pools of four at the Games, which draw athletes from 13 Canadian provinces and territories, and 13 regions from the United States. Ontario defeated Colorado 37-33, lost to Alberta 37-35 and topped the Northwest Territories 51-28. As fate would have it, because of three teams owning 2-and-1 records, Team Ontario had to win by at least 20 points, and did so. This gave Ontario a bye to the final, which resulted in a Manitoba victory and silver medals for the Ontario squad. British Columbia won the bronze. Benoit said the team returned home to a proud community. “The community in Golden Lake was just buzzing.” He noted that the u14 girls team also won silver medals following a heart-stopping 46-

45 loss to B.C. Golden Lake made its presence felt at the Games as five athletes – two u14 girls, two CALL 613-433-1780 boys on Benoit’s team, and one male athlete in athletics – came from the area. Benoit carried the community flag into Mosaic Stadium at the opening ceremonies in front of about 10,000 people, and many more watching on the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN). That gave him goose bumps.

District 1 was represented by the Oakville Whitecaps, D2 by the East Nepean Eagles, D4 by the Timmins Lynx, D5 by Windsor South, D6 by the South Ottawa Blues, and D7 by the Kemptville Wildcats. The tournament had all the exciting trappings one would expect at the provincial level: opening ceremonies, players announced onto the field, O Canada and the Little League Pledge performed prior to each game. PHANTOMS VS. WINDSOR

Game 1 was a nail-biter. The Phantoms faced Windsor South in their inaugural matchup, and lost the flip. This gave Windsor last-bat advantage. After being walked in the first inning, lead-off batter Ty Moore drew first blood with a daring home plate steal. Starting pitcher Jacob Scheuneman came in and promptly sat

down two Windsor batters, and prevented a run by fielding a grounder and firing the ball to catcher Connor Buffam for the third out at home plate. Windsor held Renfrew scoreless in the second, and scored twice for a 2-1 lead. Renfrew returned the favour in the third inning. Jacob struck out three batters in a 3-up, 3-down inning. A beautiful hit up the leftfield line earned Devon Sabourin a double and he scurried into home on a grounder by Jake to tie the score. Jake retired after pitching flawlessly for four innings, earning 10 strike outs and two field outs. The fourth and fifth innings were scoreless, with relief pitcher Dylan Harris stranding Windsor runners on second and third on a strike-out. Renfrew went down swinging in the top of the sixth, which left Windsor up to last bat. The game ended with Windsor scoring one run for the victory. PHANTOMS VERSUS KEMPTVILLE

Game 2 saw the Phantoms facing the Kemptville Wildcats. The Renfrew nine had

their bats swinging in this game! Brandon Cameron started it off with a single, and snuck his way around the bases for a dramatic home plate steal. Jake Scheuneman connected with a solid hit, scoring the second run with an RBI. The Wildcats were wild indeed, and came back with seven runs to make it 7-2. Renfrew was not deterred. In the second inning, Carson Lefebvre smacked a fast ball deep into right field for a double, sending Devon Sabourin to third. Carson and Devon then scored on a Dylan Harris single to make it 7-4. In the third, a beautiful Wildcats double play sent the Phantoms back into the field. Pitcher Braden Moore kept Kemptville guessing with a mix-up of pitches, and struck out three batters, allowing only one run. Relief pitcher Owen Brabant came in following a scoreless top of the fourth for Renfrew. Despite Owen’s strong pitching (three strikeouts), Kemptville scored seven more on steals and fielding errors, and the final score was 14-4, ending Renfrew’s provincial run. It must be noted that these games are losses on paper but

wins in real life for Renfrew minor baseball. This is the best showing a Renfrew team has had at the provincial level in recent years, when previous game scores were more like 20-0. R0082712289_0814

Anne Lefebvre

For a small club to make such a strong showing at a provincial tournament, against bigger city teams and bigger clubs, is phenomenal. It speaks well to the future of Little League baseball in Ren-

frew. That’s a wrap for the 2014 season. Spring training for 2015 will begin in March, with players in all divisions hitting the diamonds by the end of April.

Sports - Lindsay Hodgins of Duncan, B.C., has successfully defended her world junior girls horseshoe title. The 17-year-old retained her title as the top junior ladies horseshoe player in the world for a second consecutive year at the National Horseshoe Pitchers Association World Tournament at the Hamburg Fairgrounds and Event Center in Buffalo, N.Y. July 14 to 26. Hodgins has Renfrew ties. Her grandfather, Wayne Hodgins, is a former Renfrew resident, and also umpired in the Ma-Te-Way Slo Pitch League. Hodgins’ wife Mickey (Dupuis) is

from Renfrew. Hodgins said her granddaughter loves the sport, and that she throws about 250 shoes a day, sometimes practising up to three hours on a horseshoe pitch at home. She lands ringers at a clip of about six shoes out of every 10. When she won her first world title last year in St. George, Utah, Hodgins became just the third Canadian girl to win a world title in 50 years. She faced the pressure of being the top-ranked player at both last year’s and this year’s tournaments. Hodgins will be competing at her second Canadian championships in Calgary later in August. She won the title in 2012, but didn’t enter last year.

Sports - Things are heating up, both in town and at the Renfrew Tennis Club. Soon it will be summer. It’s going to drop by this year, right? The junior lessons are showing a great turnout of kids who are progressing well under the tutelage of Garry Irving. Garry has run this program for years and many who have begun under his leadership continue with the game throughout their education. If nothing else, the kids get introduced to the sport with a great teacher and end up with a popsicle.

The singles and doubles leagues are going strong now and recent weeks have seen a fair amount of movement at the top of the ladders. On the singles side of things, Robert Pelletier was finally knocked off his perch by Shane Lambert, who then had to default a match, leaving Mike McCormick as the unlikely top seed. No doubt everyone is hoping for a shot at him as they all sense weakness. Or they smell popsicles. The doubles side has been no less interesting, especially now that the curse of the Tuesday night precipitation has been lifted, at least for a few weeks.

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, August 14, 2014 39

Emerson’s experiment turned out to be a blast Lifestyle - It seemed to me back then, Father, whenever he wasn’t working the fields, was either mending fences or blowing up stones or stumps. Three generations of Hanemans had tried, with only moderate success, to clear all the land that ran like a narrow ribbon from the Northcote Side Road, across the creek and the Bonnechere, and then to the backfields. There seemed to be boulders everywhere. And stumps, still deep in the ground, where trees had been felled, with their roots left to begin new growth. And so Father, when time permitted, would perform what Mother called “pioneering” whatever that meant. Father would take dynamite, and uproot stumps, which would then

serve as fencing, piled in rows to separate fields. Or he would blow up stones, imbedded deep in the ground, heap what was left of them onto the stone boat, and get rid of them wherever Father saw fit. It seemed to me there were stones everywhere on that farm. Some were deep and flat and close to the house, and on these I could play Jacks, and I hoped Father would never put the dynamite to them. There were also loose

stones, much bigger ones, around the outhouse. Some right against it by nature, and others piled there to keep the little building upright. Even the rain barrel at the corner of the house, sat on a big flat rock. My sister Audrey and I wanted no part of the blasting. But my three brothers, far more adventurous, couldn’t wait to join Father when he let it be known that he was about to blast something out...be it stumps or stones. Even though they knew exactly how it was done, Father alone was the only one to touch the dynamite. And then one day, a hot summer afternoon it was, Emerson took it upon himself to test his ability as a blaster. Unknown to Father of course, or Mother for that matter, Emerson de-

Fifth annual Trainfest rolls into Smiths Falls Aug. 23-24 Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario

cided to try his luck at blasting one of the big stones sitting against the outhouse, unknown to anyone, of course. The first hint we had was when there was an ungodly bang, and Mother peeling potatoes in the summer kitchen, with me beside her, barely missed being hit on the head with a piece of rock the size of a frying pan that came through the back window, sailed past her head and settled against the wood box by the Findlay Oval. Our feet barely hit the floor as we tore outside to see what had happened. Well, there was Emerson, smart enough to be well away from the scene of the crime, with his face covered with ash, and two dead hens beside him. They had been hit head-on. What was left of the outhouse, lay on its side, with the two holes pointing westward, and the big stone be-

side it smashed to smithereens. Apart from the loss of two hens, which Mother soon decided would be our supper that night; Mother was amazingly unfazed by the turn of events. She hated the outhouse with a passion, and had long since said she was going to have Old Herman, an authority on outhouses, build a new one as soon as she could afford the new lumber. Until that happened, the two holes alone would be uprighted, and would have to do as an outhouse. Fortunately, they were well hidden in a cluster of cedar trees. Father was harder to deal with. Apart from the danger, a point he barely touched on, he lamented the loss of the two sticks of dynamite that had been wasted on a building that had served the Haneman family for three generations.

Pre-register your teams of two by Monday, Aug. 18. This year, the museum will offer train rides from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. both days. Hop aboard our 1940s caboose for a ride on the rails.

Take a walk on the wild side in one of Ontario’s Provincial Parks Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry

Lifestyle - Solitude, discovery, challenge and landscapes of unparalleled beauty all await backcountry campers in Ontario’s provincial parks. If you want to ditch car camping and try backcountry — also known as wilderness — camping, here are some tips to get you started: • Pick a destination: First-timers should stick to areas that are easy to get to. For example, Frontenac Provincial Park offers backcountry sites that are accessible by paddle or foot; leave portaging until you’re more experienced. • Plan ahead: Be sure to book a campsite in advance and bring a map and a compass. GPS devices are great, but coverage can be spotty. • What to wear: Lightweight, water-resistant or fast-drying clothing that’s geared for the time of year is best. And don’t forget bug spray and sunscreen. • What to eat: Bring enough food, but don’t overdo it. Keep it as light as possible and pack it in reusable containers. Bring water or treat water from nearby lakes or rivers before you drink it. • What to pack: In addition to food and clothes, there are a few other items that you’ll need. Pack cooking gear, including a small stove, pots, dishes and cutlery; a lighter and matches

in a waterproof container; a groundsheet, sleeping bag and air mattress or foam pad; a flashlight, whistle, pocket knife and garbage bags. Don’t forget biodegradable toothpaste. • Living with wildlife: Wildlife is wonderful to see, but not in your tent. Hang food and toiletries at least three metres from the ground and away from tree trunks. • Protect the environment: Only use environmentally-friendly products and leave no trace that you were there. Cans and bottles are not allowed in the backcountry of some provincial parks, so make sure you check the rules. Put out campfires before you leave. • Weather: Watch for changing weather conditions. The 30-30 rule suggests seeking shelter when there is less than 30 seconds between the sound of thunder and the sight of lightening. Stay sheltered until 30 minutes past the last thunder. • Safety: Let people know where you’ll be and when you should be back. Carry a first aid kit. • Campsites can be reserved online 24 hours a day or by calling the reservation line at 1-888ONT-PARK between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. daily. In 2013, Ontario’s provincial parks received more than 8.5-million visits from people around the world, bringing in $69 million in revenue and supporting jobs and businesses across the province. To learn more, see the 2014 Ontario Parks Guide or get a printed copy by calling 1800-ONTARIO (668-2746).

Three different teams have held the number one ranking in the last month; Mark Valliquette and Chris Jedrzejczak, Robert Pelletier and Bob Brydges, and Anthony and Rob Hagerman. The next tier of teams is also moving up and down regularly, which shows that there are of lot of competitive duos. This is excellent because we are closing in on tournament time. The first set of matches will be the junior tournaments, which are underway

through Aug. 19. The intermediates are having their tournaments in the afternoons. Senior tournaments are once again organized by Bob Brydges. It takes a while to get all of these matches in, so hopefully the weather makers will be merciful. All of the tournaments promise to be lively and, at times, loud affairs, as many club members are known to vocalize their displeasure with their own play. However, at the end there are handshakes, congratulations and hopefully popsicles for all.

Keeping newborns safe at PRH Carolyn Levesque Pembroke Regional Hospital

Community - Patient safety is paramount at Pembroke Regional Hospital and for our youngest patients, our newborns, an electronic security system is in place to ensure that. Francois Lemaire, vice-president of patient services - acute care and chief nursing executive. recently provided the PRH board with an overview of the Hugs™ Infant Protection System. “Our hospital’s maternal/child care program provides a family-centred environment for patients, the newborn and their families. It is important that all women and their support persons feel secure and safe at all times,” Lemaire said. As soon as a baby is born at PRH, a Hugs™ security tag is attached to the newborn’s ankle and the tag number is recorded on the birth record, the Newborn Identification Form and the Newborn Care Plan. That number is then entered into the Hugs™ system software which is installed on a dedicated computer on the unit. Parents and families are provided with guidelines and education about the system, including the understanding that the baby cannot be carried outside of the unit without the alarm being activated. To prevent accidental activation of the alarm, red floor markers indicate all boundaries near each access point to

A stitch in time As classes drew to a close back in June, the Queen Elizabeth Public School kindergarten class of Michelle Wyatt and Jo-Anne McGregor showed off the quilts they made before heading off for summer holidays. A group of very special ladies who quilt for fun stepped up to the plate and volunteered to do all the sewing. A very special thank-you goes out to these ladies for their help with the project. The students are, from left, front row, Zoe Mosion-Zagmeister, Ella Stewart and Olivia Sammon; second row, Brianna Elie, Tyler Dougherty-Coe, Jackson Sammon, Carson Barkley and Talen Kember; and back row, Brody Giles, Anna Kaseke, Neel Patel and Adelaide Lamare-Beaupre.

the unit. The alarm itself consists of an audible tone alarm and strobe light over the exit areas. As well, the computer system indicates where the alarm was activated by showing red flashing doors on a map of the facility. Throughout a newborn’s hospital stay, nursing staff must assess each Hugs™ tag site every eight hours to ensure a secure fit and to make sure it is still in contact with the baby’s skin. If contact is broken for more than 10 seconds, the alarm will be activated. Additionally the newborn census in the Hugs™ computer system is verified daily at shift changes. Lemaire said that babies who have to travel to another area of the hospital such as diagnostic imaging for testing, are ‘signed-out’ in the system on a temporary basis and must be transported by bassinet. To date, both staff and families have given positive feedback about the system. Thankfully we have never had an incident in which the system was needed, but we are happy to provide this as an additional safety feature which ensures peace of mind for our families,” Lemaire said. PRH is also reviewing the features of the system, policies and procedures to identify areas for improvement. He also noted that a similar security system is in place on the Hospital’s Medical units for patients suffering from dementia.
