BREAK AND ENTER

A homeowner on Stevenson Crescent in Renfrew returned home to find a male and female in her back yard. They claimed to be looking for a lost dog. After they left the homeowner realized a window facing the back yard was forced open. This happened on Tuesday, Aug. 2 between 3-3:30 p.m. Police do not believe the thieves made it inside the home. Provincial Const. Dave Peace is investigating.

A home on River Road in McNab-Braeside Township was entered during the daytime on Monday, Aug. 1. The homeowner advised nothing appeared to be stolen, and no damage was done to enter the home.

IMPAIRED DRIVER

One male is facing charges after police stopped a driver in Admaston-Bromley Township who had been drinking, had been disqualified for life from driving and no insurance. On July 19 the vehicle involved, a red 1992 Ford pickup truck with a wooden front bumper, was the subject of a driving complaint. Officers were unable to locate the vehicle on that date, but became aware the driver was disqualified for life. On Wednesday, Aug. 3 at 5:20 p.m.

Provincial Const. Kyle Mask was stationary on Colton Road when he observed the suspect vehicle. The officer attempted to stop the vehicle to confirm the status of the driver. The driver turned onto Cruise Lane and continued driving until stopping in a private driveway. The officer investigated the ownership, drivers licence and insurance and confirmed there was no insurance, the vehicle was not properly registered and the driver was disqualified. The male driver had been drinking and failed a roadside alcohol screening test. Following further breath tests at the detachment a 51-year-old man of Admaston-Bromley Township was charged with: Impaired driving Driving over 80mgs Driving while disqualified Driving while suspended (2 counts) Failing to apply for permit on becoming the owner Driving with no insurance Driving with no currently validated permit He was released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew on September 7 for the Criminal Code charged, and on September 17 for the Provincial Charges under the Highway Traffic Act and Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act. His vehicle was impounded for 45 days under provisions of the Highway Traffic Act.

Town paves way for new medical building New fall Sherry Haaima

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

The new medical building planned for a vacant lot between Bonnechere Manor and Quail Creek Retirement Centre is one step closer to reality following the town’s recent approval of a site plan agreement with Renfrew Victoria Hospital (RVH).

And the town has agreed to reduce the required financial securities for the project.

“Through other site plan approvals there’s always a requirement to submit 100 per cent of the estimated value of the works,” said planner Ivan Burton. “In 2013 when the hospital developed the dialysis unit and the helicopter pad, at that same time they had some reduction in that security amount.”

The council of the day approved a 50 per cent reduction in the amount, he added.

With that precedent in mind, council unanimously passed a motion that the financial securities requirement respecting the site plan application be reduced to 50 per cent of the estimated cost of works.

The professional building and associated parking area will be built on the 2.5-acres of land between to Albert and Stewart streets.

“The concerned properties are surrounded by institutional uses consisting of a home for the aged

to the east, retirement living to the west and Hospice Renfrew to the north,” says the report.

“Over the years, RVH, along with other healthcare providers, has created a healthcare campus in Renfrew,” says a letter to the town from Tim Sonnenberg, RVH vice president of financial services.

“This new building will provide space for physicians as well as other medical professionals to serve the residents of Renfrew and area.

This new space will play a key role in attracting and retaining physicians to practice in Renfrew.”

The letter went on to say “The building construction will bring significant economic activity with it and the jobs created by the expanded services will add to the local economy.”

PRECEDENT

Coun. Kate Windle said while she realized it had been done in the past, she didn’t think reducing the securities by 50 per cent was good policy.

“Would this have been a deal breaker if we hadn’t reduced it?” she asked. “Once you do it for one, you do it for all.”

She asked the reason for the reduction request.

Burton explained that in the absence of any grants or funding, RVH is looking for a way to reduce

TIM SONNENBERG, RVH VICE PRESIDENT OF FINANCIAL SERVICES

costs.

“The project will be funded by RVH without Ministry of Health assistance, which is a significant undertaking for RVH,” said Sonnenberg’s letter.

“The cost to issue a letter of credit is generally valued at two per cent of the amount of letter of credit. In this particular situation the estimated cost of the works is about a half a million dollars. So that being said two per cent of that rather than two per cent of $250,000 reduces some sort of burden,” said Burton.

Reeve Peter Emon suggested at some point council develop a policy surrounding the issue.

“A policy will go a long way towards avoiding confusion in the future,” he said.

Mayor Don Eady said he is totally in favour of the motion.

“It’s going to create jobs in the Town of Renfrew,” said Eady. “It’s going to be a good thing for the town. Every case has its own argument, one way or another, and I fully support this.”

Brian Dickey, who submitted the site plan on behalf of RVH, was at

the meeting and spoke to the proposal.

“We really appreciate council planning committee moving forward quickly on this particular project,” he said. “We had tenders taken in just two weeks ago and everything looks favourable.”

A conference call Friday was expected to determine who would be awarded the contract, he explained.

“We want to get in the ground as quickly as possible,” he said.

Expected completion date is 330 calendar days from the awarding of the tender, he said, a schedule that is of course, weather dependent.

NEW ROAD

A new road will be constructed linking Stewart and Albert streets.

Development and works director Mike Asselin explained that tenders have now been submitted and town and RVH officials are now reviewing the tenders.

“We have entered into discussions with the hospital regarding cost sharing,” said Asselin. “The matter is expected to advance to council in the very near future.”

festival planned Sherry Haaima

Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

There’s a new fall festival in the works for the Town of Renfrew.

The town’s tourism committee is planning a downtown festival Oct. 22. The event will be called ’frew ’tober.

Aug. 9, council granted permission for use of Low Square, the closure of Railway Avenue and use of some of the parking sports along Raglan Street South from Munro Avenue to Opeongo Road.

The festival is expected to run until approximately 7 p.m. Low Square will be used for a showcase for several local microbreweries.

PROSTATE CANCER MONTH

Mayor Don Eady proclaimed September Prostate Cancer Awareness Month in the Town of Renfrew. “One in eight Canadian men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime; which made for 24,000 expected new cases in 2015,” says correspondence from Prostate Cancer Canada.

“Early detection saves lives.”

Property rights vs. environmental protection at official plan meeting John Carter

John.carter@metroland.com

The public input meetings for the Renfrew County official plan review are shaping up to be a debate between landowners’ right advocates and those who want to protect the area’s environment and farm land.

About 25 people turned out at the McNab-Braeside municipal office Aug. 11 for the third of seven sessions around the county. While there was little comment about McNab-Braeside issues, including the township’s decision to fold its official plan into the county’s, there were several presentations of a more general nature regarding land use regulations.

The one thing both sides agreed with is that the official plan should provide a madein-Renfrew-County response to local issues.

County planning manager Charles Cheesman said that while the county is mandated to make the plan generally fall in line with the Provincial Policy Statement, there are areas where it is recommending differences.

However, the province has the final approval powers, they noted.

After about 50 people each attended sessions in Cobden and Eganville, the series of meetings continued this week in Calabogie, Chalk River and Barry’s Bay, with the final session on Tuesday, Aug. 23 at the Horton Community Centre. The event, which isn’t limited to Horton-related comments, begins with an open house from 5:30 to 7 p.m., followed by a formal public meeting from 7 to 9 p.m.

Among those making presentations at the McNab-Braeside meeting were Renfrew County Private Landowners Association chair Donna Burns, Bonnechere River Watershed Project board chair Kathy Lindsay and Debra Pretty-Straathof of the Arnprior-Lanark branch of the Ontario Federation

of Agriculture.

Burns, who is attending all seven meetings, said the official plan should not infringe property rights. Several prominent economists have concluded that protection of property rights is a key element in economic development and the bringing of prosperity to an area, she said.

URBAN AREAS

However, the provincial government wants to centralize development and population in the urban areas, so is discouraging rural growth and eroding rural property values with such things as stringent rules protecting wetlands, she said.

“The success of the (official) plan requires a partnership with the public, not dictatorship,” she said, urging the county to stand up to the province and reduce restrictions in the plan. As well, municipal councils should do a better job in explaining how important the plan is to their residents, she added.

Marlene Black urged the county to “fight back” against provincial officials who do not understand or care about the rural interests. They use such things as conservation authorities “to crush rural people,” she said.

The plan should encourage more jobs in the county, not chase them away, she added.

On the other hand, Lindsay, who lives in Horton and has a cottage in McNab-Braeside, argued that the official plan should protect the county’s rural lifestyle and outdoor tourism industry, promote community health and well-being through active living, and sustain natural assets.

To do so it should comply with the Provincial Policy Statement by identifying, maintaining, restoring and even where possible improving the diversity and connectivity of such natural heritage as significant woodlands, valleylands, wetland and wildlife

habitat, she said.

The official plan should focus growth on settlement areas to prevent further loss of environmental and heritage sites and minimize risk to water features, she added.

Lindsay said it is important for the plan to protect areas of “exceptional scenic and historical value.” For example, restricting development on the river side of River Road between Braeside and Sand Point will protect the view of the historic Ottawa River and the picturesque Laurentian Mountains for future generations, said Lindsay, who is a wildlife ecology scientist.

She also maintained there needs to be “adaptation planning” to mitigate future impacts of climate change on private and public infrastructure and watersheds. She supported the Ottawa River Institute’s submission that the official plan address climate change by making one of its goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Lindsay also suggested that to “protect our agricultural base, food security and farmland wildlife, it is import the official plan apply the Agriculture designation to all of the lands identified by the province as suitable for agriculture.”

In her presentation, Pretty-Straathof expressed surprise so much of the farmland in the county is zoned rural instead of agricultural, which would give it more protection.

She pointed to the farms along Burnstown Road as examples of agricultural land zoned rural.

It could become a concern if good farmland is lost to other uses, she said. She noted that the county has plenty of non-farmland on which residential and other development can occur.

The county has indicated that the rural designation is favoured by many farmers because it gives them more flexibility for use and sale of their land if farming becomes

unprofitable.

LOOSER RESTRICTIONS

Along that line, the county is proposing to loosen restrictions to allow farmers to add small businesses such as bakeries on their side on their properties to boost revenue.

Frank Burke argued that landowners should be compensated or pay less taxes if any regulations adversely affect their property values.

Lyn Clelland and Eric Smith made presentations on behalf of the Renfrew County Water Quality Leadership Group, urging the county through its official plan to take a key role in protecting water quality.

Smith said more collaboration is needed to ensure healthy land and water for current and future generations. However, water quality management should be guided with a Renfrew County model and local solutions, not by more expensive conservation authorities, he added.

Such locally-developed solutions would help to prevent catastrophic events (such as Walkerton) without being a development control process or telling people what they can or cannot do on their land, says the group.

Clelland said the organization is pleased to see the draft of the new official plan addresses water quality issues that “threaten property values, economic development, recreational activities and ecological and hydrological integrity in the county.” However, the group proposes the official plan go even further by: - cooperating with the public in addition to local municipalities for the wise management of resources and the well-being of the community; See PLAN, page 5

The group says a plan for the county’s four major watersheds should be designed to minimize the impact of human activities and to sustain and improve freshwater in Renfrew County Such a plan would protect the property tax base and community health and well-being by helping to maintain water quality, its report says.

Clelland explained that the Renfrew County Water Quality Leadership Group represents a group of agricultural, business and environmental organizations that evolved from consultations over the last five years most recently led by the agricultural sector over concerns about water quality in Renfrew County.

Second business makes use of Community Improvement Plan

Blizzard buds Mary Campbell and her pug Zoe were in line at Dairy Queen on Aug. 11 for the 14th annual Miracle Treat Day. Although final totals raised for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario were not totalled yet there was a 7.5 per cent increase in sales from last year for all stores in Eastern Ontario.

A new Renfrew business is the town’s second to take advantage of the new Community Improvement Plan (CIP), which offers incentives for businesses in designated areas to make improvements to their facilities or property.

At the Aug. 9 meeting, The Square Nail on Raglan Street received approval from the town for a signage improvement grant for $1,230.46.

Owner Deborah Pollard is a tenant of the building at 188 Raglan Street South and has obtained permission from the building’s owner. Pollard is proposing to install two front-lit signs, each of which will consist of a 12.8-square foot aluminum panel surrounded by wood mouldings. The addition will enhance the architectural and heritage character, says the staff report to council.

Two light fixtures extending above and over the signs will also be installed.

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, August 18, 2016 7

OPINION

Connected to your community

Make it ‘your’ official plan Make no mistake, the County of Renfrew’s official plan will affect the future of this area.

So it would benefit residents to pay attention to the current review of the plan and share their thoughts with county officials.

The first three public meetings to hear what the public thinks of the proposed changes to the plan attracted about 125 people. Kudos for those who showed up when they probably would have rather been out enjoying the joys of a summer evening.

It’s apparent that while most people are leaving it up to the planning ‘experts’ to decide what’s best for them, there are a few people who feel passionately about the issues raised in the plan.

They appear to be from a wide range of philosophies, from those preferring almost no regulations on private property (back off government) to enviromentalists who want rules with clout to protect sensitive areas and water tables from development.

The county is walking a tight rope between the two, while keeping an eye on what the province wants as laid out in its Provincial Policy Statement (PPS).

County officials feel they have a strong argument for including modifications in the official plan that don’t quite fall in line with the PPS, given Renfrew County’s unique needs

and attributes. However, they realize if they stray too far from provincial policy, their efforts could be for naught as the province has the final say.

It’s fine to promote a made-in-Renfrew County solution to land use regulations, but do it wisely. Picking a public fight with the province could easily backfire.

The county’s stance in favour of some variations to the PPS will carry more weight with the province if it is obviously strongly supported by the public.

So if you back county planners push for local solutions, agree with their compromises or, conversely, either strongly believe that the official plan should back off from restricting property rights or strongly protect our environment, then speak up.

There is still one more public meeting in this area, next Tuesday, Aug. 23 at 7 p.m.

(5:30 p.m. open house) in the Horton Community Centre. As is the case in all the meetings, county officials will accept comments on any aspects of the plan, not just those about the host area.

People also have another six weeks to make written submissions about the official plan. The county wants to hear from you. Its planners are trying to determine what the sofar silent majority thinks. So let them know.

Your future may depend on it.

Sports is its own reward To the editor:

Sport is not about the trophies and equipment you have, rather it’s about what you accomplish with what you are given.

Looking at the participation 2016 report card (July 28) is interesting. For a grade five/10 year old student, an ideal day would include 11 hours of sleep, two hours of moderate to vigorous activity, one hour transport time to and from the activity, six hours of school (9-3), one hour to and from school, two hours recreational ‘computer’ time. That totals 23 hours – leaving only one hour for two meals, washing, dressing, socializing, homework and down to relax. An impossible schedule!

I picked two hours of activity because the report specifies one hour as a minimum ie heart rate 120 beats/min. But one also needs time to warm up (20 min) and cool down (10 INSIDE

min) to prevent injury. If one did get two hours of activity then the 11 hours of sleep would be needed. One of todays’ problems is children use cellphones as an alarm clock checking for messages during the night. That problem can only be solved by taking phones away at night.

As someone who competed from elementary to university – two hours is not excessive. Today that pattern persists. At 69 years, I still garden, have horses, swim 6000 m/wk and hand shovel a 300 m laneway, by choice, in winter. The above grade 5 schedule is not that difference from mine as a student – minus the two hours of “recreational screen” time.”

That is the “straw that is breaking the camels’ back.”

It is hoped that the two hours of activity is a full two hours. This is seldom the case.

8 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, August 18, 2016

In an organized hockey game of two hours duration, a player is lucky to get 30 minutes of ice time. This is the elephant in the room involving organized team sports. Too many players sitting on the bench and too few on the playing field.

As a youngster, when we played road hockey, which even Don Cherry admits he never sees anymore, every one played.

The same was true for every other sport from baseball to hide and seek – 100 per cent participation, 100 per cent of the time.

While swimming in Pembroke, I’ve noticed the baseball diamond, beside the pool never has kids playing, not in the morning nor the afternoon. As a youngest we would have been playing from 9 a.m. till 6 p.m. every day all summer. I’m wondering “have we taught this generation how not to play with out coaches and officials, uniforms and a grandstand of spectators? Is that what an organized sport has done?”

In my youth, there was no adult supervision we learned to organize ourselves. There was no adult transportation; we rode our

bikes, distance that would go from one end of Renfrew to the other end. There were no officials; we became decision makers, quickly deciding goals, penalties and rules. There were no set teams with coaches; we juggled team players for fairness.

There were no uniforms or equipment standard; we learned to share equipment from baseball gloves to broken hockey sticks, when we lacked equipment we improvised winter boots as goal posts at the ice rink.

There was no need for penalty boxes or red cards as there were never any fights. There was a lot we didn’t have. What we did have was fun and a solid foundation for life long good health.

In the future, let’s hope to see photos, in the sport section, of sweat soaked youngsters with smiles on their exhausted faces instead of clean uniformed kids standing beside polished trophies half their size. After all – sport is it’s own reward.

Tales from the North from an avian researcher

I am writing this column from the Polar Bear Express, the train that runs from Cochrane to Moosonee, returning from two weeks in a remote camp on the west coast of James Bay where I was part of a group monitoring migrating shorebirds.

There were four camps, each accessed only by helicopter, conducting the surveys. Our daily routine involved recording the sandpipers and plovers encountered during a five-hour walk centered on high tide.

Walking along the coast is oft times difficult for numerous streams must be forded, some underlain by muck that behaves like quicksand. At high tide a meandering route is necessitated in order to avoid the copious deep pools that punctuate the land.

We suffered one heat wave in which temperatures soared into the mid-thirties. One hot day I walked nearly 20 kilometres and ended up suffering agonizing leg cramps because of dehydration.

Migrating shorebirds depend on James Bay. It provides them with mud-dwelling invertebrates that provide the fat to power their journey to the eastern United Sates (and eventually to South America).

The shorebirds – primarily Arctic-nesters – feed along the edge of the salty water as it recedes and then returns to invade the land. Of particular interest are the endangered Red Knots, some of which bear individually coded flags on their legs. A flag’s colour reveals where the bird was captured: red is Chile; light and dark green, the United States; white, Canada.

to watch geese. Several times we watched a Gray Wolf stalking them; once I saw a wolf carrying a duck in its mouth.

Other camps also reported wolves; one lucky group had a wolf circle them, a mere 20 metres away.

That same camp also encountered a Polar Bear, a rare sight that far

back into one massive group.

And then there were geese. Each day we encountered hundreds of Canada Geese feeding on grasses that paint the mud above the high tide green. They would run ahead and eventually fly, flushing sandpipers in their wake.

We were not the only animals

Reading a flag’s code involves cautious approach and careful scrutiny through a spotting scope.

Because knots can wade in water that covers a flag, or other sandpipers block your view, a glimpse of a tag’s colour is sometimes the only reward for your efforts.

In addition to hundreds of knots, we tallied thousands of White-rumped and Semipalmated sandpipers. Also present were hundreds of Hudsonian Godwits, huge sandpipers with long, upturned bills, and much smaller Least Sandpipers and Semipalmated Plovers, which look like miniature Killdeers with a single breast band.

As the tide ebbs, flocks wheel and swirl as their members seek new feeding sites.

One day a thousand Whiterumped Sandpipers flew directly at me, their wings a whistling blur, a mere metre above the wet sand.

When they reached me, the flock magically parted and swiftly swept past me, two branches of an avian river that quickly consolidated

south.

Many of the volunteers are 20-something old. Our camp set a record as we were all over 60 years of age. I hope to return next year for the surveys. That is if my aging body allows me to!

Calabogie’s Barnet Park receives grant funding for upgrades Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

Barnet Park is a jewel in the Township of Greater Madawaska, according to Mayor Glenda McKay and the greenspace is set to receive a number of upgrades. During the township’s July 26 meeting, council approved the plan and formula for the upgrades to the park after they received three significant grant approvals.

The township applied for and was successful in the New Horizons for Seniors Program for $25,000 for the development of a new trail and exercise equipment at Barnet Park.

The township also qualified for $6,000 available through Renfrew County’s Healthy Kids Initiative for Natural Play, which will promote unstructured play.

Thirdly, the township was also successful in obtaining funding for portable runner mats, however, due to the limited number of vendors and the cost associated with the product that staff could locate, a call was made to the community renewal program and staff was advised that the funding in the amount of $1,750

could be used to purchase rubber mulch.

McKay says the upgrades are great.

“We are fortunate to have received funding that allows our township to make continuous improvements to this property that will cater to all age groups,” said McKay in an email to the Renfrew Mercury.

ment and trails outdoors while enjoying the beauty of Barnet Park.

Seniors and families use this property and the new upgrades will encourage healthy activities and encourage unstructured play regardless of your age.”

UPGRADES

McKay was very grateful to the community volunteers who have worked hard on the planning and development of the park.

“I am all for (the funding), so thank you to the various programs provided by the government bodies that make the funding available,” said McKay. “And a bigger thank you to those involved in the applications.

The success of our township receiving the funding from the New Horizons for Seniors program and the county’s Healthy Kids Initiative for Natural play can be directly attributed to a partnership between the local Calabogie seniors group, the Barnet Park Committee and the township who worked together on the preparation and development of the applications.”

The upgrades include five pieces of exercise equipment, rubber mulch to be placed under the equipment, development of a new trail, rehabilitation of existing trails and removal of brush to create a lookout near Painter’s Point, unstructured play items, four garbage/recycling containers, cedar corners and four new benches.

“Barnet Park is a jewel in our community that brings in revenue and visitors to our community.

Increasing the curb appeal and activities that can be held there is important,” said McKay. “The exercise equipment and walking trails open the door for our residents and visitors to have access to exercise equip-

OPP seek masked store thief

An arrest warrant has been issued for Jessie Laundrie in relation to a theft at a Renfrew convenience store.

The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) investigation into the theft from MacEwen’s convenience store in the early morning hours on Tuesday, Aug. 8 has resulted in the warrant being issued.

Police are asking anyone with information on his location to call the OPP. At approximately 5:40 a.m., a male walked into the store at MacEwen’s gas station at 8 Raglan St. South.

The male demanded cash from the clerk. He fled the scene on foot after obtaining a quantity of cash and was last seen running away.

The crime is classified a theft and not a robbery because no weapon or violence was used, say police.

Anyone with information on this crime or the suspect is asked to call the Renfrew OPP at 1-888-3101122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Crime Stoppers Pembroke/Renfrew County believes that someone may have information that could assist police in solving this crime. If you have information on any criminal offence that results in charges being laid, you qualify for an award of up to $2,000.

Carl Dixon, who has played with Coney Hatch, The Guess Who and April Wine, remains one of Canada’s stellar singers and musicians.

He tours and records extensively as a solo artist, band member and inspirational speaker.

Dixon was critically injured in a car accident in Australia in 2008.

After years in recuperation his story came full circle when he fulfilled his goal and returned to The Guess Who as lead singer for two special shows in 2016. His first book, “Strange Way to Live” de-

tails his thirty years experience in the North American music industry, and was published by Dundurn Press in 2015.

Dixon’s powerful two hour acoustic show features songs from his career including hits by Canada’s rock icons, his own compositions and crowd favourites As lead singer for world chart toppers The Guess Who, Dixon’s world came undone during a high speed car accident in Australia.

On a remote rural road Dixon was found with 52 injuries including severe head trauma.

If he survived he was not expected to walk, talk or see again. Dixon’s presentation takes you from rising rock star to barely clinging to life with traumatic brain injury.

Dixon’s recovery, re-training of his brain and the reinventing of his career in the cutthroat music world is an inspiring, enthralling presentation.

her husband would be so happy to see the advancements made at the facility: “He was very proud of this hospital.”

Marie’s grandchildren also surprised her with a special little birdhouse that they built in honour of their grandfather.

GRAND ROUNDS

Raising show birds was a big part of his life, she explains, and he got a lot of enjoyment sharing this passion with his grandchildren when they were small. Their birdhouse now greets everyone as they walk into the gazebo.

“I know he’s smiling down at that gazebo” The Renfrew Victoria Hospital was a special place to Bill Kennery.

Growing up in Renfrew and later moving down the highway to Griffith to raise his family, he served on the RVH Board of Directors from 1973–1988 and spent three years as Chairman during that time.

“It was the highlight of his political career,” shares his wife Marie.

The Kennery family recently chose to honour Bill’s commitment with a gift to the RVH Foundation and dedicate the gazebo in his memory. A portion of their donation has been directed to new comfortable seating.

Their generosity is also a way to thank everyone for their outstanding attention provided to Bill during his lengthy illness.

“The nurses and support staff were excellent. I don’t know if he had special care, but it sure felt special,” says Marie.

“That meant a lot to us.”

The two would sit together in the gazebo often during his time as a patient—she hopes the new furnishings will be enjoyed by many patients and their loved ones in the future.

On the day of the gazebo dedication, the Kennerys had a private tour of updated areas and heard about renovation projects on the horizon. Marie feels that

Three generations of the Kennery family gather for the dedication of the gazebo at RVH. Back row: Mike, Kevin, Anne, Perry, Ben, Will (Liam in Will’s arms) John. Middle row: Kate, Kim, Shannon, Kelsey, Brandon. Sitting: Marie, Alicia (Julia in Alicia’s arms).

Terry Fox Run set for Sept. 18 in Renfrew Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

Terry Fox’s legacy will continue in Renfrew on Sept. 18 And it is never too early to start collecting pledges for the run, which supports the Terry Fox Foundation.

Tanya Campbell and Sheena Pilgrim have co-organized the event since 2005.

The sisters are well into planning for this year’s event at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

Registration for the run will be from 11 a.m. to noon in the lobby with the run starting at noon. There is no minimum pledge required people can collect pledges or simply show up and make a

donation.

“We’ve always had faithful participants,” said Campbell. “We count on those people and we encourage new people to come out.

Families, groups of friends, co-workers, in the end it increases our numbers and the amount of money we raise for cancer research.”

Renfrew has had an annual run since 1982 and since that time $387,000 has been raised by in the area.

The run is in memory of Terry Fox, who was diagnosed with bone cancer in his right leg in 1977 and had his leg amputated six inches above the knee. While he was in hospital he was so overcome by the suffering of other cancer patients he de-

Bonnechere Manor group working to keep residents safe The Bonnechere Manor Choir, comprised of the long-term care homes’ residents, day program clients and volunteers, recently teamed up with the residents and staff of the Home to put together a ‘falls prevention’ slide show. The group’s goal is that this tool will aid in preventing residents from falling – a frequent occurrence among the elderly population.

Erin Wilson, the client programs supervisor at Bonnechere Manor, explains that this effort was in response to a request made to the choir by the Home’s Falls Prevention Champion and features tips and advice to help keep residents “steady on their feet.”

The presentation is comprised of a series of

photos depicting how residents can ambulate safely in their environment to the soundtrack of the Bonnechere Manor Choir singing clever lyrics to a catchy melody. It is the hope that this presentation will have residents making the correct choices to help prevent falls.

Janice VisneskieMoore, chair of the County of Renfrew’s Health Committee that governs the Home, notes that “this endeavour further highlights the warmth and connection at the Manor between residents, staff and volunteers.”

raised more than $700 million for cancer research.

Campbell remembers watching the run on television.

“I remember participating in one of the first runs in Renfrew. It went out Opeongo Road to Highway 132,” said Campbell.

MILLENNIUM TRAIL

cided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research and the Marathon of Hope was born.

His journey took place for 143 days in 1980, with the goal of informing Canadians of the importance of finding a cure for cancer.

He ran an average of 43 kilometres every day until Sept. 1 when the cancer spread to his lungs. On Feb. 1, 1981, his goal of raising $1 for every Canadian was realized. His fund totaled $24.17 million and he died on June 28, 1981.

The foundation is responsible for supporting close to $20 million in discoverybased research in Canada every year and according to the website to date it has

be a two-kilometre option available on the track behind Ma-Te-Way, which she says is great for families with little ones.

“We are also working on a children’s area to entertain the kids before the run,” said Campbell.

“It’s always family friendly. It’s never about who finishes first, it’s about continuing on for Terry.”

She stresses it is not a race.

“I’m not a racer. I really like the fact that you don’t have to be an athlete, you just want to have to make a difference.”

A number of community organizations have already signed on to help at this year’s event.

A stretch session will be provided by Ottawa Valley Physiotherapy right before the run starts. The Lions Club

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, August 18, 2016 13

MacPherson.

“And Bailey ... send lots of texts or messages to your parents!”

They held a joint fundraiser last weekend and have another planed on Aug. 26 at Country View Mini Market at the corner of Highway 17 and 508 at noon.

Her mother is determined to help her get there one bake sale at a time.

“We had to take this opportunity because God opened this door. My faith shows God will provide,” said Jody.

TIFFANY LEPACK/METROLAND

Renfrew’s Bailey Plunkett is setting out on a mission trip and is looking for financial and prayerful support.

Renfrew’s Bailey Plunkett is on a mission to serve Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

She has a smile that can change the world - one that is going to take her from Renfrew to Hawaii (to Nepal to serve God. Eighteen-year-old Bailey Plunkett of Renfrew was called to the mission field in Grade 8 and shortly after she was diagnosed with depression and a number of other mental health illnesses.

Her life changed on June 27 when she was accepted to Youth With A Mission (YWAM) Canada for a six-month trip.

She’s now fundraising to cover the $15,000 trip.

“I have struggled with a lot of mental health issues.

When you are depressed you feel like you don’t have a purpose.

I have this calling that has kept me interested, hoping things would get better so I could do something like this trip,” said Plunkett.

Her goal is to pass on that feeling of purpose.

“I want to give someone hope, I want to be able to make it clear that Jesus is out there and he loves you.”

As to why she wants to go on a mission trip, she said she believes it is God’s plan.

“God’s called me to that, he called me in Grade 8 and ever since then I have been passionate about places I’ve never been and people that I have never met,” said Plunkett.

She remembers going on a family trip and seeing how others valued what little they had.

“I was so sad and angry looking at the buildings and seeing how materialistic we are.

They have nothing and were happy, they were so real and open about their struggles.

They didn’t expect anything,” said Plunkett.

“It showed me I have a missionary heart.”

Plunkett attended St. Joseph’s Catholic High School, however was a few credits short of her diploma.

She is currently working towards obtaining enough hours volunteering with local artist Marlene Schaly as a co-op for her last remaining credits and at Dairy Queen.

Her family attends Whitewater Wesleyan Church in Cobden.

Recently someone from YWAM came to their church.

“This came and a spark came back,” said Plunkett.

Her mother, Jody, explained when they looked up the program they had tears in their eyes.

Daryl MacPherson, assistant pastor at the church, is very excited for her and gives her some important advice.

“This is a great opportunity for Bailey.

Being willing to serve on a mission’s team can be a life-shaping experience for anyone. I hope she has lots of fun, too,” said

14 The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, August 18, 2016

When asked why people should support her, she answered by humbly saying it’s not for her.

“It’s about my gifts that God has given me and using them to make a difference.”

Her mother is really excited for her.

“I’ve seen her in so much pain these last five years, having her live her dream makes me overjoyed, completely happy.

Nothing makes you happier than seeing your children happy,” said Jody.

“Bailey has a very humble

heart. She doesn’t need much in her life to be happy.

What we have seen bring her joy is helping and loving people.”

People can make a donation online: GoFundMe.com/2h4fb6s.

“We would appreciate any financial assistance and prayer to do what she is most passionate about,” said Jody.

Also, a bank account has been opened at the Bank of Montreal in Renfrew to make a donation at the branch call 613-432-4483 for the account number.

OPG IS CONDUCTING RESEARCH ON THE OTTAWA RIVER TO PROTECT ONTARIO’S BIODIVERSITY. Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is conducting research in the vicinity of its hydroelectric generating stations on the Ottawa River. This research, which is being carried out by Kleinschmidt Associations and Bowfin Environmental Consulting, is in support of OPG’s ongoing American eel and lake sturgeon mitigation studies for these species at risk.

Kleinschmidt and Bowfin boats may be in close proximity to the shoreline as it completes day and night-time fish abundance studies and shoreline inspections. This yearly research is being conducted under permits from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry 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 September.

Shawville Fair to celebrate 160 years Scott Campbell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

It’s not too late to consider the Shawville Fair as a Labour Day weekend excursion.

The 160th edition of the fair is set to take place from Sept. 1 to 5.

Weekend passes for the Pontiac Agricultural Society event are available until Wednesday, Aug. 31 at 9 p.m.

“One price admission makes it an affordable event,” said the society’s president Sara Knox. They can be purchased online - see shawvillefair.ca for more information – or at the society’s office.

The society and countless volunteers allow the Shawville Fair to hit the milestone of 160 years.

There have been many memorable moments to recount, but one that still gets talked about is when Stompin’ Tom Connors made an appearance in 2005.

It is in the record books as the biggest night in the fair’s history with estimates of 30,000 to 40,000 people

being in attendance for just that day.

It was definitely a crowd to remember as the town’s population doesn’t even hit 2,000. The fair tends to average 30,000 to 40,000 people for the entire five-day weekend.

This year, crowds can take in musical headliners such as Kim Mitchell (Friday), Brett Kissel (Saturday) and Gord Bamford (Sunday).

Valley bands Ambush, Mick Armitage Band and Phil Denault will be showcased throughout the weekend.

It will probably be the final appearance for the Mick Armitage Band members at the fair as they announced their retirement for February 2017.

The gates open on Thursday, Sept. 1 at 4 p.m. The midway is once again run

by Beauce Carnaval for the weekend. The traditional kick-off event is the popular truck and tractor pull at 7 p.m. and the official opening ceremony is set for 7:30 p.m.

There will also the exhibits to view, heavy horse and

ENERGY $AVING$!

One of the rides that Beauce Carnaval might bring to the Shawville Fair Holstein shows to watch, and demonstrations of sheep-shearing, bee-keeping and butter-making.

Fairgoers can also check out performances by Little Ray’s Reptiles, West Coast Lumberjack Shows and the award-winning ArnpriorMcNab Pipes and Drums.

The popular demolition derby is on the Labour Day Monday.

There is plenty more throughout the weekend in line with the event’s agricultural roots.

Cobden Fair to have a mud drag Scott Campbell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

The Cobden Fair is ready for their 157th edition Aug. 26 to 28.

The fair has recently announced that they are introducing a mud drag to the weekend events. Registration forms are available for four-wheelers, side by sides and trucks but rules and regulations were not featured on the website at presstime.

The popular demolition and combine der-

bies will still be around and are set for Saturday night.

The horse drawing competition is on Friday, the pet show for Saturday afternoon and plenty of entertainment throughout the weekend.

The fair will keep its agricultural focus with beef, horse and the Renfrew Country Holstein Breeder’s shows happening. Fairgoers can also check out plenty of exhibits in the hall from baking, horticulture to scrapbooking and more.

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, August 18, 2016 19

New backpacks will help borrowers discover Renfrew and area Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

It’s time to explore your own backyard. And with the Town of Renfrew’s new Explorer Backpacks it is now easier than ever.

The new bags are part of the Healthy Kids Community Challenge. The Town of Renfrew received $10,000 to implement a Physical Activity Lending Hub. “We chose to have multiple hubs within the town to allow for greater exposure of the program and in turn higher usage of the items by children and their families,” explained Jo-anne Caldwell, program developer for the Town of Renfrew parks and recreation department in an email to the Renfrew Mercury.

“There is no cost to borrow the items in the hub, which makes it more accessible to children.”

Caldwell says Explorer Backpacks are one of the many items that were purchased with the funding and they are currently available at the Renfrew Public Library, but will also be available at the Recreation Centre and Child’s Paradise Day Care Centre within the next month.

“The packs can complement a simple walk and turn it into a geo-

TIFFANY LEPACK/METROLAND

Renfrew Public Library staff members Maggie Chaput, Sandra Fishenden and Kelly Thompson hold up items from the new Explorer Backpacks that can be borrowed from the library. cache experience, a bird watching event or a bug identification excursion,” said Caldwell.

“It is a wonderful way to experience nature and some of the things Renfrew has right here in its own boundaries.

I encourage everyone to explore what we have in our lending hubs

and check something out this season.”

Library staff helped put together the four bags - two for adults and two for children. Included in the adult bags are outbound adult binoculars, Etrex 20 Garmin GPS with Geocache and four different books.

The kid’s packs include a butterfly net, a bug catcher, magnifying glass, Magellan eXplorist 310 GPS, Tasco child binoculars and a number of books on insects, birds and local wildlife.

Each set is valued at $350.

They are also working on putting together a fishing bag with

lures, rods and books.

The bags can be borrowed for a week with a library card and staff are hoping that people will explore Renfrew.

“It’s great because it has allowed us to do things we wouldn’t be able to do,” said chief librarian Kelly Thompson. “It allows us to reach a different audience and hopefully it will bring more people into the library.”

She thinks the packs really give people a chance to try new things.

“You can try things like geocaching, and actually find things.

The caches are already loaded into the GPS, there are tons around Renfrew,” said Thompson.

“It’s getting outside with your kids and getting back to nature.”

Caldwell notes people may also be interested to know the town has purchased ice skates and snowshoes as part of the hub and these items will be available soon.

The library is a busy place and staff hope everyone will mark Sept.

23 at 7 p.m. in their calendars as they will be hosting a trivia night at Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

Registration is open, for more information call 613-432-8151 or email: mmurdock@renfrewlibrary. on.ca.

BUTT OUT

SMOKING FIRES SMOKING IS THE #1 CAUSE OF FATAL HOME FIRES WHAT’S THE RISK? Smoking fires account for 8% of all home fires.

One in 10 smoking fires results in an injury or death.

One in four home fire fatalities are caused by smoking.

65% of smoking fires are caused by “improper discarding” of smoking materials.

The average dollar loss per smoking fire is $37,000.

A Dangerous Mix: Alcohol is a factor in many smoking-related fires

How do I prevent a smoking fire? v Enco urage smokers to smoke outside. v Do not extinguish cigarettes in plant pots, which may contain a mixture of peat moss, shredded wood and bark that can easily ignite. v Never smoke in bed. v Use large, deep ashtrays that cannot be knocked over. v Empty ashes into a metal container – not the garbage can – and put it outside. v If people have been smoking in your home,

check behind chair and sofa cushions for cigarette butts before going to bed.

Install smoke alarms on every storey of your home and outside all sleeping areas.

Want to find fossils?

The day begins with the third (and final) Fossil Hunt of the year, led by ‘Caveman’ Chris Hinsperger of the Bonnechere Caves, and his colleague Patrick Weller.

Discover fossils from marine animals in the Ordovician time period, such as Crinoids and Cephalopods.

You may even find a fossil to take home with you! The fossil hunt begins at the museum at 10 a.m., it’s sure to be a fantastic exploration!

Or, if the fossil hunt isn’t really your thing, come and take a guided Geo-Heritage trail tour at 1:30 p.m..

There will be historical commentary on an old railway bed, an abandoned quarry and a limestone trench. You will also see rock formations and discover fossils in an exposed bed of limestone. This walk features a scenic walk along the Bonnechere River with a lookout and five caves!

The photo contest is also happening at the Bonnechere Museum.

This year’s theme is Eganville’s 125th Anniversary and the three categories are: Architecture, Bonnechere River, and Recreation. The deadline to submit photos is August 21st. For more information contact the Bonnechere Museum at 613628-1000.

The Renfrew Mercury - Thursday, August 18, 2016 25

Denis Sisters releasing their first album, performing live Aug. 27, Sept 23 It is an exciting time for songwriters and sisters Lynda and Darlene Denis, who are releasing their first album of original music this month.

The project has been in the plans for a number of years for the Arnprior musicians.

The Denis Sisters have been playing music for a long time. Their earliest and fondest memories are of watching the adults dance around a big kitchen table while their grandfather and great uncles played roots music back home in Kipawa, Quebec, the area where they are originally from.

Lynda first picked up a guitar when she was 11-years-old while Darlene fell in love with the bass after taking turns with multiple instruments.

Both sisters have been involved in musical projects together and separately since early adolescence, including performing with local bands and some amazing musicians along the way.

Lynda is currently recording with

the Widows Jane and also occasionally plays with the Mud Hens.

Darlene plays with Potluck and also occasionally has the privilege of joining The Richmond Ramblers on stage.

Their current album reflects their longtime love of roots music, with a fusion of bluegrass, folk and some leanings towards old country.

‘Learn to Feel Joy’, the title song, is a tribute to their grandfather, Roland Pariseau, a fantastic and inspiring fiddler who overcame great adversity with the loss of his bow arm in a sawmill accident. Pariseau had to relearn to play fiddle again with a heavy old-style hook, using his shoulder to provide the ‘wrist action’ as he gradually resumed his place in the family band.

Both sisters credit their grandfather for their musical blood and the inspiration to pick up instruments in their childhood years.

Joining them on their album is Dale Cole on banjo and mandolin, Mike Asselin on lead acoustic gui-

SUBMITTED

Playing with The Denis Sisters, Darlene and Lynda, at their CD release party will be Dale Cole on banjo and mandolin, Mike Asselin on lead acoustic guitar. tar, and David Campbell on drums and production (Harbour Music).

Calling it a fun experience all around, the Denis Sisters are ex-

cited to perform their songs in the upcoming Festival of Small Halls show in Arnprior, opening for Juno award-winning Canadian artist El-

liot BROOD. Organized by the same team who organize the Ottawa Bluesfest, the Ontario shows feature bigger Canadian artists paired with local artists in wonderful small venues. Planned for Sept. 23 at the Nick Smith Centre, the show is sure to be a great time.

The Denis Sisters will also be performing their originals at the Greenside Tavern (Sand Point Golf Course) on Saturday, Aug. 27 from 7 to 10 p.m., along with Cole, Asselin and drummer Ryan Mace. They will be joined by fellow artists David Campbell and Kevin Richard & The Richmond Ramblers performing some of their own original work.

The event is free and open to the public. However, a voluntary cash donation for the Arnprior and District Food Bank is kindly requested from those who attend. To learn more about The Denis Sisters and listen to their new releases, visit and ‘like’ their Facebook page.

Let’s all unite to eradicate bullying

Lifestyle - According to the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, at least one Canadian teenager out of three can tell stories about what it’s like to be a victim of bullying at school.

Other Canadian studies show that bullying occurs every seven minutes in the playground and every 25 minutes in the classroom. Do these statistics shock you?

Whether you’re a student, parent, or educator, you have a role to play in putting an end to bullying.

NO CHARGES • NO REFUNDS • NO EXCHANGES

Bullying is not only about pushing people around or calling them names. There are in fact four principal types of bullying, and being able to identify them is a first step in the fight to eradicate this scourge.

Verbal bullying includes insults, sarcasms, teasing, the spreading of rumours, threats, inappropriate sexual comments, and slurs about culture, race, religion, gender, or sexual-orientation.

Social bullying includes group threats, making a scapegoat of someone, exclusion, public humiliation, and demeaning graffiti.

Physical bullying includes hitting, pushing, pinching, hounding, jostling, stealing or destroying possessions, and sexual touching of an undesirable nature.

Cyberbullying includes using the Internet or text messaging to bully, humiliate, make fun of, or circulate rumours about someone.

DEVASTATING EFFECTS

Just as there are many forms of bullying, there are also many devastating effects. Victims can experience an inordinate amount of insecurity, distress, withdrawal, isolation, fear, stress, anxiety, loss of self-confidence, and nightmares.

Some victims can also feel physical symptoms such as headaches, stomach aches, nausea, fatigue, and panic attacks. Bullying can even lead to academic problems, including dropping out of school. In a few cases – and only one case is too many – the pain caused by bullying can cause the victim to consider committing suicide.

No one should have to feel wounded or humiliated or live in fear or isolation. Let’s all unite to eradicate bullying.

Advice for parents of children starting college or university

Do you feel anxious, insecure and nostalgic as your teenagers begin their postsecondary education?

It’s normal.

Your children are now young adults, and you may be feeling unsure of your role in their schooling now that they’re becoming more and more independent.

TIPS

Encourage your teenagers to find out about various study programs without putting any pressure on them.

Career choices: try not to worry By the time they graduate from high school, your teenagers are expected to have made certain choices about their future careers.

What do they want to do in life?

If you feel your children are undecided or unmotivated, or if they refuse to talk about it, don’t be discouraged just yet.

There are many different ways you can help your children through this process.

First of all, take every possible opportunity to discuss their interests and skills.

Listen without judging and criticizing.

Go ahead and tell them you could picture them doing this or that profession, but don’t pressure them.

The important thing is to keep your teenagers thinking about the future.

Encourage them to see a career counsellor so they can explore their natural talents

Here are some tips for handling this situation.

• Encourage your children to verbalize their feelings about continuing their studies at a post-secondary level.

• Show that you support them and are truly interested in their studies.

• Make sure your children are aware of the importance of attending classes regularly.

• Be on the lookout for signs of fatigue and a lack of interest or motivation. If you see any of these, don’t judge their be-

haviour; try to understand it.

• Don’t focus only on their marks.

If your children aren’t very talkative about their marks, don’t keep at it all the time.

ASK QUESTIONS

Keep communication channels open by asking general questions.

How is school going?

Are you happy with your program?

Which activities interest you the most?

• Ask about which student support services are available at the institution (academic or career guidance, learning support, psychological counselling, etc.). If necessary, encourage your children to use these services.

Lastly, don’t underestimate the role you can play as a parent in your child’s postsecondary education.

Be available and attentive, because your support is crucial.

and learn about the different programs of study open to them.

Remember that it’s never too late to decide on a career.

In fact, more and more students are choosing their professions after they reach adulthood and after trying various jobs.

Through all their explorations, young people discover their own identity, assimilate all kinds of knowledge and accumulate valuable life experience.

Your children’s career paths may be very different from yours.

Keep in mind that it’s not uncommon to change careers once, twice or even more often nowadays.

In short, be patient when helping your teenagers in their career choices.

And remember, they need their parents’ support, even if they don’t show it openly.

Is your child a perfectionist?

Being a perfectionist can be a good thing, but only if it the tendency is kept within reasonable limits.

If not, this character trait can become unhealthy and cause a lot of imbalance in a child’s life.

How can parents judge if their child’s search for perfection is excessive?

How can they help him or her to better manage it?

The following advice may be of use.

Sure, we try to teach our children that if a thing is worth doing, it’s worth doing well.

But that doesn’t mean everything has to be perfect.

Perfectionism is harmful to our well-being when it results in additional stress.

The constant dissatisfaction of striving for unattainable goals results in a frantic pace and constant self-doubt.

If you notice this kind of attitude in your children, take action right away in order to help them regain their self-esteem. They

must not be allowed to sink further into the vicious circle of perfectionism.

Be a role model for your children in their progress towards a healthy attitude regarding effort and making mistakes.

The help of a psychologist may also be appropriate.

The ideal time to do homework is as soon as kids get home from school, after a healthy snack.

SOME SOLUTIONS

The best method to follow is to ease back one step at a time.

Help your child find a way to change one behaviour at a time and gradually relax the rigid rules she has imposed on herself.

Over time, she will understand that not all situations require the same degree of perfection and that her loved ones do not require it either.

She will learn to set achievable goals and take pleasure in attaining them, without worrying exclusively about succeeding.

Teach her that making mistakes is a part of life and a part of learning.

Five tricks to make homework easier

The start of a new school year also means the return of homework.

Here are five tricks to keep this daily chore from becoming a source of conflict between kids and parents.

1.

Establish a routine.

Homework should be done at a set time to avoid negotiations and instill self-discipline in kids.

The ideal time is as soon as they get home from school, after a snack.

2.

Start with the most difficult tasks.

It’s better to start with what kids like the least or the subject

they find most difficult; after a day at school, kids are already tired of concentrating and will be less and less attentive as the minutes go by.

This will also allow them to finish their homework on a positive note.

3.

Have everything close at hand.

Make sure they’re outfitted with a pencil case containing sharpened pencils, pencil sharpener, coloured pencils or markers, a ruler, a compass, and anything else that is needed.

This will cut short the imaginative ways kids can delay starting their homework.

4.

Take a break. Primary

school-age kids are bound to lose concentration after about 20 minutes.

When you notice that happening, give them a short break of a predetermined duration.

5.

Create motivation.

If the kids have a hard time sitting still, get them to spell words while throwing a ball in the air or going up and down stairs.

Or promise to play with them for 15 minutes as soon as they’ve finished their homework.

It’s up to you to find the best way to motivate them — no one knows your kids better than you.

BACK TO SCHOOL & FALL REGISTRATION

How to live with your teenager’s latest look for back to school The start of a new school year is usually a time to renew the kids’ wardrobes.

When children are little this can be a lot of fun, but once they’re into the teenage years it’s much more difficult to find clothes that will please them as much as the parents. It’s around this age that shopping can start being a real headache for both parties.

Yet it’s normal for teenagers to want to express their personality through their style of clothing.

Some want to stand out from the crowd, while others prefer to conform to a certain popular fashion or to a style shared by their friends. This can be tricky when an extravagant style doesn’t meet with parental approval. To keep the peace and prevent any conflicts from arising during a shopping outing, take some time to discuss your family’s style parameters.

Try to stay open to new fashion trends and, above all, stay cool. After all, the more you insist, the more your children will protest. Opt instead for a compromise, either by suggesting accessories in the style they love or by offering them set times when they can flaunt their latest look.

If that doesn’t work, consider giving them a bit of leeway. After all, is it really that bad if your teenager wears pants that seem way too big, or if the top and bottom of an outfit don’t really match? Be careful that you don’t spend your money on styles that contravene the ethics or dress code of your teenager’s school. Explain your concerns about wasting money and leave the door open for other compromises. After all, who’s never upset their parents with some unconventional clothing?

Adolescence is a period of self-affirmation. When it comes to your teenager’s sense of style, try to be as flexible as your values will let you.

Are you done with boring lunches?

Have you run out of ideas for varying the contents of the kids’ lunch boxes? Are they complaining about always eating the same old thing? Freshen up your lunch-box menu with these brilliant ideas.

You can put your children’s favourite leftovers in an insulated container or a microwaveable dish. You could also cook larger quantities in the evening and use the leftovers as the basis for different dishes. Cut strips of chuck roast eaten in the evening to add to an Asian pasta salad; make chicken fried rice with the remains of a roasted chicken. Even eaten cold, these dishes help beat the monotony of the usual fare.

For sandwiches, forget sliced white bread; it con-

tains little nutrition and can get boring. Opt for whole grain pitas, baguette, or tortillas. Fill the sandwich with home cooked meats cut into strips, or use hummus, tofu mix, cheese, or tuna — all are healthy and delicious replacements for cold cuts. Condiments don’t have to be the traditional mustard and mayonnaise. Why not try ranch dressing, pesto, or guacamole for a change?

The fruits and vegetables food group also benefits from a bit of variety.

The celery and carrot duo can give way to zucchini, peppers, broccoli, or cauliflower. And berries, a peach, or a pear make a change from the ubiquitous apple.

Renfrew teacher humbled to accept major coaching award Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

Roger Poirier has been more than a coach to hundreds of students in his 31 years teaching.He has inspired them to dream and believe in themselves.

Poirier, who recently retired, spent 27 years as an English teacher in the Renfrew County School Board, most of them at Renfrew Collegiate Institute (RCI).

At the end of the school year he humbly accepted one of the most prestigious honours a high school coach can receive in Eastern Ontario: the Pete Beach Award.

It is named after a former executive director of the Ontario Federation of Secondary Athletics Association and the description states: “That educator is one who consistently provides an impression of stability and optimism, one who enjoys the company, and the respect, of young people; one who embodies, and initiates by example, the highest traditions of the sportsperson; one who best typifies the true function of the teachercoach - a source of discipline, a mentor and a friend.”

Poirier says he is honoured to win the award.

“It’s recognition but I didn’t expect it because that’s not why I did

TIFFANY LEPACK/METROLAND

Retired Renfrew Collegiate Institute teacher Roger Poirier recently won the Pete Beach award for coaching. it…it was the relationships with kids other than coaching.”

While at RCI he coached more than 58 teams, was instrumental in establishing a program that earned

12 straight Upper Ottawa Valley Track and Field school aggregate championships and 17 straight Upper Ottawa Valley Cross Country school aggregate championships.

This led to seven Eastern Ontario championships and more than 250 athletes qualifying for the provincial championships.

For Poirier, coaching was some-

COVERED!

thing more.

“Coaching a sport makes you see the other sides of teaching.

You expand and it helps you understand them and it is so important when you are teaching,” he explained. “You see the effort they put into sport and that transfers to what you expect in the classroom.

I hope that relates to their life and values.”

In early June at the Eastern Ontario Secondary School Athletics Association annual general meeting in Perth, Adam Noack, a fellow teacher and coach at RCI, presented the award to Poirier.

Noack called Poirier his friend and mentor.

“Roger always coached for the right reason. Ultimately, it is not for the championships, it’s to give kids the opportunities that many of us had growing up. It’s to teach kids the value of hard work, the value of dedication, and to show kids the power of sport,” said Noack as he presented the award.

“When it comes to relating to kids and being there for them in their time of need, our profession can learn a lot from the legend of Roger Poirier. Roger, you have no idea of what you have done for kids, your influence and reach will last forever.”

Coach encourages students to set goals From page 33

He says he was tricked into being there for the special award. “It was even more special when they read the description. I didn’t think there were other coaches who thought like me.�

As to why he coached for so many years, he compares it to his love of running. “With running you know you have achieved something. I want other people to feel that achievement and that achievement is you are a better human being for doing it - for setting goals and achieving those goals.�

Poirier speaks very highly of Noack and says he has helped coach basketball the last few years to understand him better. “Hopefully, I’ve set an example for him,� said Poirier. “There are so many good coaches at RCI I feel guilty for getting this award.�

As he looks back on his many teams, the open girls 4x400 metre sticks out to

him. “They believed in themselves and worked very hard,� remembered Poirier. “They improved every week in every race and achieved what they thought was impossible. They finished 11th at the provincial finals and set a school record that still stands today.�

He gives credit to Mona Brydges and Lyne Brydges who taught him the role of a coach – a facilitator. “I see this award and they deserve it way more than I did.�

He will be back for another year coaching as he can’t stay away. “I still want to volunteer!�

Poirier got out of high school and knew he did not want to follow in his family’s footsteps and be a farmer even though, ironically, he now he owns a hobby farm just outside of Renfrew. So he went to Carleton Uni-

versity, where he earned a combined English and geography degree with a minor in history and got a job at the bookstore. “That’s why I can run marathons, because I was haying all summer, it taught me patience, one step at a time because you can’t rush it.�

He needed that patience to become a teacher - he went through 17 job interviews before he got his first job.

One interview he almost didn’t get to.

While he was working at the bookstore he made connections and one of the publishers wanted him to edit textbooks. “They flew me to Toronto to wine and dine me,� he recalls. “My ex-wife saw a job ad at Arnprior and District High School (ADHS) and she sent in my resume.�

When he came back from the trip he was working at Sir Robert Borden High School in Ottawa and was preparing grammar tests when Arnold

McIntyre, the head of the English department in Arnprior, sat down beside him. “He looked like a farmer. We sat down and had a talk, he was impressed,� said Poirier. “He hired me that day on the spot, I hadn’t even turned down the editor’s job.�

Soon there were changes at ADHS and there was no longer a spot for him on staff. Tony Car was the principal and called Lewis MacDonald who was the head of the RCI English department. “He said ‘you need this man on your staff.’ I came here, I have been here ever since.�

However, that year at Arnprior served him well as Wayne Oates, the boys physical education teacher, inspired him. “His students trusted him and believed what he said.�

That first year when he came to RCI he started coaching cross country, which at the time was not a popular sport.

Now he has helped instill the badge of honour for running Raiders, the fluorescent hunting toques and gloves, as local trails serve as prime ground during hunting season.

But that first season was key, he started to run with the team. “I simply gave them the opportunity to love running, which is infectious,� said Poirier who himself loves running.

He has run the Boston Marathon five times and hopes to run it again soon. “Crossing the finish line is one of the biggest events in my life. It taught me there is nothing I can’t do, and I hope I’ve taught my students that,� said Poirier. “There’s nothing you can’t achieve.�

Dragonfly Golf Links welcomes rainy weather for mint condition course Bill Rainboth

General manager, Dragonfly Golf Links

Golf is a difficult game, but this past week scorching temperatures made a challenging format more of a test of endurance.

Thanks to the rain on the weekend the course is in mint condition.

It was mint before the rain too, but at least our superintendent can sleep in a little...until 4:30 a.m.

League play was on the front nine this week kicking off last Tuesday by playing a format that split the teams into three groups of two, with each group playing from different tees.

Two out of three scores counted for the team, with the kicker being that the best score was thrown out.

This put an onus on strategy and teamwork.

The Music Men were in perfect harmony to post the lowest score of the week, easily taking C flight with an outstanding score of 67.

The next closest score was six shots higher. Sterling’s No Frills were the gold medalists to win B flight for their first win of the season, and TF Custom Signs posted a winning score to take A Flight.

Closest to the pin winners were Butch Brown on #5, and Curtis Thompson on #7.

Randy Lacroix recently scored a hole in one on hole five with a nine iron at Dragonfly Golf Links.

On Wednesday night a score of 74 from Roger Brisco Plumbing was two better than the next competitor to take A flight, and the Mountain Men shot a 74 of their own to take B Flight. Ken Dick was closest to the pin on #5 and Jesse Riopelle was closest on #7 Our ladies are a pretty cool group of golfers.

This week the winning teams of A and B flight both shot lower than the temperature with Team Seriously (?) winning A flight with a net 33, and the Partee girls won B flight with a net 32. Debra MacFarlane was closest to the pin on #5, and Judy Dubeau was closest on #7.

August 2016

Cooling the Climate with your Wallet At the end of June Canada was host to a meeting with the Presidents of the US and Mexico. One does not have to read very much of their “Statement on a North American Climate, Clean Energy, and Environment Partnership” to know this declaration is full of bad news, particularly for rural Canadians.

Their pronouncement says many things. One example, under the subtitles “Driving Down Short-Lived Climate Pollutants, Reduce black carbon (soot)”, the statement reads: “we commit to significant national actions to reduce black carbon emissions in North America,… deploy renewable energy and efficiency alternatives to … firewood in remote communities.”

What does this example mean to average, middle-class Canadians?

In that statement the Trudeau Liberals have committed to come up with new ways to outlaw the use of firewood. They learned from the failed election campaign of Stephane Dion with his ‘carbon tax on everything,’ that completely banning the use of firewood is unrealistic, particularly in rural Canada. It will not be tax on firewood per se, but costly bureaucratic regulations capped off with a tax on the emissions of firewood, a ‘chimney tax’. They have promised a National Carbon Price in 2016.

In this example, this new carbon tax will be paid for by the wood lot licence holders and private wood lot owners. In turn the carbon tax will be reflected in the higher prices consumers pay. In any community, tax assessors and your insurance provider will know if you have a wood stove. Taxes can be and will be directly applied to emitters of particulates from wood burning. The move to ban woodstoves in Canada has already begun in Quebec.

------------ THE SALVATION ARMY ------------

What this regressive liberal tax policy does not address is the reason why more and more rural Canadians are forced to heat with wood. The Toronto liberal policy of increasing the price of electricity (well beyond the consumer price index, including wages and pensions) is causing energy poverty in Ontario, particularly among seniors and anyone on a fixed income. Many average Canadians will be forced to leave their own homes, as electricity is too expensive to use for home heating, which is the liberal ‘alternative’ to firewood.

The deadline to register wood-burning stoves and fireplaces in Montreal was December 22, 2015, with new emissions regulations to be implemented in 2018. Those who refuse to comply are subject to fines, and those who are willing to adjust are forced to pay for expensive modifications to their wood-burning stoves and fireplaces. Presently, transforming a stove or fireplace with inserts so that it is in compliance with the coming regulations in that city cost between $2,000 and $8,000.

It seems that even wood isn’t green or renewable enough anymore. Wood is the oldest heating method known to mankind and mainstay of rural homes, including many of our nation’s poorest residents. It does not make sense to apply the same stringent rules equally to heavily air-polluted cities like Montreal to the far cleaner typically colder areas such as Renfrew County and much of Eastern Ontario. Expect no common sense from a federal government so heavily in debt with its first budget.

American biker arrives on Harley Davidson to Renfrew Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

A thousand miles plus on a hog recently took one man from Renfrew Park USA to Renfrew, Ont. Lloyd Hamberger worked as the city manager for 33 years in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania and recently completed ‘Lloyd’s Calabogie Boogie Bucket Ride to Fight Cancer.’

He rode from Renfrew Park, a 107-acre park and museum in Waynesboro to downtown Renfrew on his Harley-Davidson Softail Heritage motorcycle.

“Quite frankly, I got bored to death,” said Hamberger, as he sat with Renfrew Mayor Don Eady in the town hall board room.

“Going from a high pressure job 24/7 to being retired and doing nothing, it drove me crazy.”

It all started a few months ago when he was reading a magazine put out by Harley Owners Group (HOG) about different routes in Canada.

He remembered coming to the Rideau Lakes area when he was a child.

“I love Canada,” said Hamberger.

The HOG magazine laid out 15 to 20 different routes, including some in the Ontario Highlands.

“Motorcyclists don’t like four lanes. Most want a twisting road with scenery and one of the routes was the Calabogie Boogie and this piqued my interest because my grandfather always talked about Calabogie Lake,” said Hamberger. “On the apex of the route was Renfrew and I thought Waynesboro has a Renfrew Park.”

The park’s website states it officially became a public museum and park in 1975 after its last private owner Emma Geiser Nicodemus and her sister Hazel Geiser, willed the land to the borough of Waynesboro.

According to legend the park is named after two sisters with the last name Renfrew who died on the park property in 1764.

There are now a number of Victorian-type

buildings and it is nationally known for its pottery collection. The house and farm are on the national register of historic places.

“It’s a gorgeous park,” said Hamberger.

With the connection of the park and the memories of his grandfather his trip started to take form.

The first year of the Waynesboro Area Gala Cancer Auction, which is now in its 35th year, Hamberger sat on the board and thought to himself ‘how can I raise money for the auction?’

“My mother was cured of lung cancer and Waynesboro is a cancer cluster, I don’t know what caused it,” said Hamberger, who has also been a Rotary member for more than 20 years.

“Let’s tie it all together and ask people to donate to the auction.”

So far he has raised close to $1,500 for the Franklin Country American Cancer Society to fight cancer locally.

He left July 19 and arrived in Renfrew, Ont., July 25.

“I’m old, I’m a wimp, I take my time,” he said with a chuckle.

He started in Waynesboro, went to Jersey Shore, Watkins Glenn State Park to Alexandria Bay. “The 1,000 Island Bridge was scary, I don’t like heights,” said Hamberger. He took his time exploring the area before arriving in Renfrew.

He thinks the two areas are similar.

“It’s a beautiful little town, the same thing as Waynesboro, we lost some industry and need to adapt, grow and change,” said Hamberger.

He rode to Calabogie the morning of July 25.

“I think where I live is some of the most beautiful country in the world and I can truly say you folk live in handsome country just like ours,” said Hamberger. “If we have a super model as a country you have her sister.”

As he explained the scenery of Renfrew County he described how you can breathe it

TIFFANY LEPACK/METROLAND

Lloyd Hamberger is welcomed to Renfrew by Mayor Eady after travelling from Renfrew Park in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania. all in.

“The mountains, the pine trees, the lakes, the juxtaposition of the pine and the deep blue lake and the mountains reflecting, it’s all just stunning.”

While in Renfrew, Mayor Eady took him out for lunch to the Renfrew Golf Club and he also had a meal with the Renfrew Rotary Club, when some of the members donated to his cause.

“I think it’s a great connection between the different municipalities,” said Eady. “If I ever go to Pennsylvania I certainly have a destination to go to.”

Eady officially welcomed him to town and toured him around. He

took him to the Swinging Bridge Park, the Hydro Plant, Ma-Te-Way Park and drove by the hospital.

“It’s something that’s different,” thought Eady. “If a person is inclined to travel and discover new things and just go it is absolutely great that he is raising money for cancer research. It’s a very noble cause.”To support his trip you can donate by visiting: http:// www.wagca.org/2016donate/ .

Going wild at the library The Admaston-Bromley Public Library held four activity days as part of its TD Summer Reading Club. On Aug. 3 was a busy day of crafts, songs and books for local children. Above, Molly Helferty, the summer reading co-ordinator, leads the group in a line dance. Far right, Beth and Colin McDonald work on a wild animal craft and bottom right, library helper Emily Helferty looks on as Delaney Dick holds up her craft. It was also a special day for the library as Ottawa children’s author Anne Raina visited and read her books Things That Go Splat! and The Kangaroo with the Wooden Shoe. She has also written a non-fiction book Clara’s Rib, on her sister’s experience in an Institution from 1939 to 1952 when she had tuberculosis. She will be back in the area on Aug. 26 when she will be speaking to the children at the Eganville Public Library. The Admaston-Bromley Library purchased copies of her kids books.

The invitation came in the mail, which in itself was unusual. It was to a wedding of a cousin, who Mother said was once removed. I thought that meant the family had been thrown out of Renfrew County. But apparently that wasn’t the case, because as long as I could remember they lived near Douglas.

Getting an invitation in the mail was unusual, because most people in the community were all invited to weddings on the church steps after the Sunday service. The reason ours came in the mail, was that I was going to be a flower girl! I wasn’t this excited since the rumour went around that bad Marguirite’s family was moving to some place far away from Northcote. Sadly, there was no truth to that rumour.

I had no idea what was expected of a flower girl, but my sister Audrey explained it all to me, and when I heard that I would be getting a new dress, and white stockings, I was beside myself. The bride was never consulted when Mother went into Walker’s Stores and bought a powder blue, Swiss dot material, and yards of satin ribbon, and a pair of ankle socks with white lace around the cuffs.

Unfortunately there wasn’t enough in her egg-money sugar bowl to buy new shoes, and I had to wear a pair that had come in the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie, and which I had long ago outgrown. I knew I was going to be in agony, but to complain could rip me right out of the whole wedding party, so every day, long before the wedding, I crammed my feet into the shoes, hoping they would stretch even a fraction of an inch.

The day finally arrived, and all Mother’s praying over her Rosary beads for good weather worked wonders, for the day was bright with not a cloud in the sky, and with a soft breeze blowing to take the heat out of the day. I was amazed that Mother’s Catholic prayers would work in a Lutheran church, and it never occurred to me that the family holding the wedding might be praying too!

NO REHEARSAL

A young lad was to carry the wedding ring on a satin pillow, and there was no rehearsal, I was just told to walk beside the ring bearer, smile, and look neither left nor right. I had never laid eyes on the lad before, and my first introduction to him was when he stuck his tongue out at me, and crossed his eyes right on the church steps! My long red ringlets had been up in rags all night, and just as we were about to go into the church, this young whip-

INSIDE

persnapper grabbed a handful of curls and hissed, “giddy up there horsey” nearly knocking me off my feet. An arm reached out and gave him a good shake, and the two of us headed into the church, leading MARY COOK the way.

I knew we were supposed to stand in front of the pulpit until the ceremony was over, but Joey (I found out his name long after the wedding was over) wasn’t having any of that. He plopped himself down on the step, faced the congregation, stuck his tongue out again at me, leaned back against the organ, and promptly fell asleep.

Mary Cook’s Memories

I had no idea what was expected of a flower girl, but my sister Audrey explained it all to me, and when I heard that I would be getting a new dress, and white stockings, I was beside myself.

Frankly, I was glad he was out of the picture. But soon you could hear the loud snores all over the church. The organist pumped furiously when it came time to sing a hymn, and drowned him out. No one bothered to waken him when the ceremony was over.

It was my sister Audrey who told me later that the minister had to remove the ring from the satin pillow, and he did it ever so gently so that the lad wouldn’t waken and cause another commotion. I never laid eyes on him again. I had plenty to write in my diary that night, and the memory of being part of a wedding lingered in my mind’s eye long after the day was over.

The dress became my “going to church dress,” but the shoes would never touch my feet again. One Saturday Mother took them into the Salvation Army in Renfrew to be given to some one in need, and I was back to wearing hateful brown-laced boys shoes, which also came in the hand-me-down box from Regina.

Being part of a wedding, wearing a brand new dress, made from store-bought material, not from something Mother had to rip out and make over, made me once again, think the Depression was happening in some other country.

In Memory of

Maford Bridges

I have lost my soul’s companion, A life linked with my own; And day by day I miss her more, As I walk through life alone.

• A silent thought, a secret tear, Keeps her memory ever dear, Time takes away the edge of grief, But memory turns back every leaf.

Always in our hearts, Love Willis (Willie), Susan, Gourlay and Berberick families

2x90

In memory of a dear husband, father, and grandfather Maford Bridges Aug 18, 2009 A little is gone from my lovely home, A voice I love is still, A place is vacant in his chair, Thank no one can ever fill.

I often lay awake at night when the world is fast asleep.

And take a walk down memory lane With tears upon my cheeks, Along the road to yesterday That leads me straight to you.

Our memories of the happy times, Together we all knew, And always every evening, I seem to find a way Of wandering back to meet you On the road to yesterday.

Love you always Wife Vera & family

SMAGGUS – In loving memory of June, Wife, Mother and Grandmother, Who passed away 5 years ago August 20.

They say that times a healer But as the time goes on I seem to find it just as hard To face the fact you’ve gone.

And today is the anniversary Of the last day that you went away And I am standing here at your graveside And believe me when I say “You’ll never be forgotten” And every year we’ll shed a tear But it’s only because we love you And wish you were still here.

Love Murray and family

2x64ag NOLAN – In memory of John F. (Jack) Nolan He never looked for praises, He never was one to boast, He just went right on working, For the ones he loved the most.

His dreams were seldom spoken, His wants were very few, And most of the time his worries, Went unspoken too.

He was there a firm foundation, Through all of storms of life, A sturdy hand to hold on to, In times of stress and strife.

A true friend we could turn to, When times were good or bad, One of our greatest blessings, My husband and kids dad.

Lovingly remembered everyday XOXO Bonnie, Susan, John, Polly, Ruth Anna & families

SUN SCREEN

“Grandparents Day”

The application of a good sunscreen (SPF 15 or higher) throughout the day is a good way to prevent sunburn.

Sunburns prevent the body from cooling itself off naturally. It only takes 15 minutes for unprotected skin to become damaged by the sun on a hot day, make sure to reapply sunscreen regularly.

Avoid the hottest part of the day Activities outdoors should be planned for the morning and the evening hours of the day to avoid being outside during the hottest part of the day.

Our Golden Age Activity Centre has many indoor activities for those 55 and older to get out and beat the mid afternoon heat while remaining active.

Take advantage of the 11 a.m. fitness classes (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) or Wii Bowling every second Thursday at 1 p.m.

The centre also provides regular musical entertainment, lunches and games. For more information contact the center at 613-431-8289 or visit the website at www.renfrewgoldenage.ca

STAY HYDRATED

Drinking six to eight glasses of water per day is vital to keep the body hydrated in the summer heat.

Water should be consumed regularly throughout the day rather than just when one feels thirsty.

Staying hydrated becomes more important as we age; the feeling of thirst is less noticeable and happens much later on than it should.

Seniors are advised to bring a water bottle with them wherever they go and to avoid sugary drinks, alcohol, and various caffeinated beverages that can further dehydrate the body.

In the extreme heat of summer, it is advised to wear ANNOUNCEMENT light, loose-fitting clothing to keep air circulating and allow heat to escape, lighter colors like white, yellow and orange will help to reflect sun’s rays.

Wearing light, long-sleeve shirts will also help to keep direct sunlight off the skin.

Wide-brimmed hats that shade the neck and face as well as UVA/UVB blocking sunglasses are recommended for staying cool and preventing the risk of sun-related eye damage like cataracts.

Responsibilities: • Coordinating and preparation of audits and reviews of financial statements of clients • Effective communication with our clients, government agencies and with partners and staff • Provide accounting and tax compliance services to clients

Summer...a great time to soak up the sun, revel in beauty of a long summer day and sooth your senses with the sounds of nature.

However with the current heat wave we are experiencing across the Ottawa Valley this summer, dehydration, heatstroke, and other heat-related emergencies can occur if we are not careful. To prevent a heat-related emergency from happening, here are some safety tips:

DRESS APPROPRIATELY

CAREER OPPORTUNITY

Many medications can cause sensitivity to ultra-violet light or enhance the effects of the sun.

Side effects and heat sensitivities on medication labels should be read and understood before deciding to leave the house on a hot day.

Duplicate bridge: popular pastime Lewis MacDonald

Numbers continue to hold as eleven tables of duplicate bridge competed at Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre August 10.

In the Chalk Talk preceding the afternoon’s play, Wayne Daze gave bridge players important guidelines for slam bidding.

In Wayne’s system, a jump to three is game forcing, while a jump to four indicates slam interest.

In three of the displayed hands, Wayne used the 30-point total.

When a hand has a void, ten points are taken out of the mix, so that a slam can now be made with a much lower point count.

His closing message was that players should consider carefully the significance of an unusual bid.

Two small slams were made during the course of play.

Bev Kobus and Ian Scott were successful at six no trump on Board 19.

In addition, Ed McCann and Guy Vaillancourt brought home a six hearts contract on Board 33.

Kudos to both pairs. .

ENERGY $AVING$!

Before buying an air conditioning unit or system, find out its energyefficiency ratio (EER).

Calculate the EER by dividing the unit’s cooling capacity (BTUs/hour) by its energy requirement (watts). An EER of 10 or more is very good, and 6 or 7 is fair.

Remember to buy the smallest capacity unit or system that will meet your needs.

ENERGY TIP! Install a programmable thermostat if you don’t have one already. Set the times and temperatures to match your schedule.

Congratulations to the August 10 winners: NORTH-SOUTH

First: Carol Sulpher and Dave Sulpher; Second: Ruth Grant and Mary McCann; Third: Ernie Berndt and Eric Brown.
