News - Renfrew may have its very own swimming pool, after all, just not an indoor one.

Renfrew council has voted 5-1 in favour of seeking requests for proposal (RFP) to build an outdoor pool for not more than $1.5 million.

Last year, council decided not to pursue building a facility that would house a second ice pad and an indoor pool. The decision was made after council members saw that the anticipated annual operating costs were prohibitive and that partial government funding for the project was unlikely in the next few years.

Now, council is looking to receive RFPs from a few companies, by September, so construction can start this fall and conclude next spring on an outdoor pool that would be open 10 weeks the first year and about 15 weeks in year two.

The 10 weeks would include a week of training for on-site staff.

The only council member who opposed the move was Jim Miller, while Reeve Au-

drey Green was out of town and unavailable to vote. “I’m not being critical of the pool,� stressed Miller.

He went on to say that he’s mostly concerned because the town already owes $13 million and has other current or potential financial challenges, including a 14 per cent increase in police budgeting as of 2014 and a loan guarantee for Renfrew Power Generation’s $20 million for the new generating station project. “All I’m saying is it’s not a great time to keep on borrowing money,â€? said Miller. “I leave you to have your opinion,â€? responded Mayor Bill Ringrose. “This council can’t hamstring itself with what-ifs, what-ifs,â€? said Coun. Clint McWhirter. “We have a job to do and we have to move forward on projects. To sit on our hands for this project to finish or that project to finish, you’re not moving ahead ‌ I see this as an opportunity to do something.

People in this town have been talking about pools for over 20 years. Finally, somebody is going to address it.�

Greater Madawaska hires fire chief Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

CHARLIE JAMIESON PHOTOS

The existing canal wall is being rehabilitated. This involves removal and replacement of deteriorated concrete from the outer wall. The demolition work necessary to remove the deteriorated concrete is now complete. The remaining wall surface will now be prepared and forms constructed to pour the new concrete. The above picture shows the wall with the damaged concrete removed.

News - David Murphy of Bonnechere Valley has been named the new fire chief in Greater Madawaska Township.

Murphy was appointed to the department’s top position over three other applicants.

The position became available when Betsy Sayers stepped down as the township’s fire chief earlier this year. Dave Parkes has been the acting fire chief since April 25.

While all four applicants gave a good account of themselves, Greater Madawaska Mayor Peter Emon said Murphy emerged as the man for the job.

“Dave was hired because he has a great deal of experience, he comes from a trained background as well. He was the deputy chief at Bonnechere Valley (Fire Department).

“Murphy had the desire to move to another department and become a manager,” Mayor Emon added.

“He met with our recruiting team for a series of interviews. There were three stages of interviews. He passed them all and we offered him the position.”

The interview process included the Ontario Fire Marshall’s Office, acting fire chief, two township councillors and the CAO. Officially, Murphy assumes the fire chief’s reins Aug. 27. He is also the owner of Murphy’s Auto in Renfrew.

CLEAR BAG PROGRAM

The existing canal is being modified to connect new penstocks (pipes) to transport water to the new power plant. This new intake structure will include systems that will allow the new penstocks to be sealed, and stop waterflow to the new plant for maintenance purposes. The picture above shows final excavation and initial forming to construct the foundation for the new headworks.

The first six months of the clear bag program have shown that residents have gotten on board and made it a success.

From November 2011 to April 2012, the municipality generated 277.96 megatons of waste compared to 195.7 MT from November

2012 to April of this year.

By hauling 82.25 MT less waste to the facility in Lafleche, the township saved $5,500 in tipping fees and $7,800 in wages, fuel and trucking costs. The total savings was $3,300.

The next evaluation of the program comes in November.

Until then, the township will promote and educate through advertising, mail outs, and flyers handed out at the waste sites.

Recycling has also gone well.

The Ottawa Valley Recovery Centre informed the municipality that recycling bins have been good, at less than 10 per cent contamination.

There will be a note with the tax bill thanking residents for working hard to improve the system, Mayor Emon said.

PICKLE BALL

Coun. Glenda McKay is pleased with the interest generated for pickle ball in the area.

“I’m getting a lot of positive feedback and offers from other communities to help,” she said.

She said a possible long-term playing location to look at for Calabogie is the United Church hall because of its high ceilings.

Suggested fee scales are $2 every time you show up, or a certain amount for the season.

Strong interest has come from the DACA Centre, while some interest has come from the Matawatchan area also, the councillor added.

Coun. McKay reminded council that representatives from the Pickle Ball Association of Ontario will be coming to Calabogie to demonstrate the game and discuss rules on Sept. 14 at the community centre.

The day will include kids, families and all ages welcome to participate at 11 a.m.; seniors at 1 p.m. and adults from 2:30 to 4 p.m.

The site of the new plant is now being prepared to start construction. This initial preparation involves construction of the tailrace. The tailrace is the canal that routes the water from the output of the power plant. The picture above shows preparation of the new canal. The route is designed to slow the waterflow as it returns to the river, and surface areas are layered with rock to protect against erosion.

Work in full gear at Renfrew’s new Thomas Low Generating Station Charlie Jamieson Renfrew Power Generation

News - This is the second in a series of updates provided on Renfrew Power Generation’s Thomas Low Generating Station project.

This project is redeveloping the Renfrew site at Bridge Street with a new power plant and water conveyance infrastructure with rehabilitation of the existing canal and dam.

Construction started June 10. The construction is currently focused on three areas: • canal repairs • construction of new headworks • site preparation for the new power plant building.

TLGS Fact: The environmental assessment process that was completed in order to get authorization to proceed with the project took four years. It involved interaction

and consultation with almost 20 federal and provincial ministries and agencies and interest groups, as well as First Nations and local residents.

This process resulted in incorporation of significant design modifications to protect endangered species.

This is the second of twice monthly updates.

Ma-Te-Way Centre Aquatic Committee caught off-guard Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Members of the Ma-Te-Way Centre Aquatic Committee are caught off-guard by town council’s decision

Continued from front McWhirter noted the outdoor beach isn’t an option, partly because of pollution.

“This is a good, inexpensive opportunity to satisfy a need that clearly is still in this town, whether you go by the survey that was done of a thousand people, or whether you don’t.

“Clearly, the feedback we got on the indoor pool should tell anybody at this table that it is still a need.”

Delaying support for an outdoor pool another year or two is just political, said McWhirter.

Miller’s major concerns were financial commitments by the town, including the possibility that Renfrew might inherit financial burdens if the current construction work at Renfrew Power Generation does not proceed according to plan.

Coun. Andrew Evans applauded Miller’s courage to ask tough questions.

Having said that, Evans said he would encourage periodic updates from Renfrew Power Generation during its scheduled 18 months of construction, but that he supported the outdoor pool project.

Mayor Bill Ringrose suggested updates would be coming from RPG about every six months. The first update would be provided at a special shareholders meeting in November 2013, said the mayor.

Miller also asked if inclement weather would cut into the outdoor pool schedule, to which recreation director Kevin Hill said yes. From discussion with the Ontario municipalities of Paris, Strathroy and Greater Napanee that have outdoor pools, Hill said lost days to bad weather have usually been no more than about 25 per cent.

“They’ve had years where they’ve been open as low as 53 per cent,” said Hill. “The budget

would definitely be affected by that (including part-time staff’s income).”

Maintenance would also be lower because of the newness of the Renfrew facility. Other municipalities had annual maintenance and replacement costs as high as $4,500.

Renfrew’s pool, said Hill, would budget $1,600 each year, then an increase of $400 per year for the next few years.

This new project has evolved from Coun. McWhirter’s suggestion at a Renfrew recreation committee meeting May 14, 2013 that a seasonal recreational pool be considered. At council’s July 15 meeting, it was recommended council advance the concept of constructing an outdoor pool at Ma-Te-Way Park and investigate design options.

The aquatic committee was not consulted on the newest pool project, says Hall. “We’re caught by surprise

committee members attended a workshop presented by Acapulco Pools on possible designs and construction budgeting.

The proposed summer schedule calls for scheduling from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, with reduced weekend scheduling, depending on community needs.

Plans include the hiring of two full-time head guards and four to six instructor-guards part-time.

The estimated construction cost of a new pool for Renfrew is $1.3 million, plus a contingency of $200,000. The pool is scheduled to be completed in June 2014, in time for a Canada Day 2014 opening.

Town staff references in background documentation the Renfrew public’s level of support for investment in various

Hall says he’s also surprised by the speed of implementation of the new project. “While we’re pleased

public outdoor facilities. The top five were multi-use trials (46 per cent), youth skate park (44%), outdoor pool (36%), playgrounds (25%) and access to waterways (19%). The town opened a skateboard park next to Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre last year.

FINANCING

The current budget for the outdoor pool calls for a $50,000 deficit in year one and $45,000 deficits in succeeding seasons.

Proposed scheduling calls for open swims 45 per cent of the time, with 34 for lessons, 12 for rentals and nine percent for fitness-related sessions.

Treasurer Keray O’Reilly says total available reserves of $445,000 would help finance the project, leaving the remain-

Mayor Ringrose and councillors Tom Anderson and Gail Cole also expressed support.

“It may not answer everybody’s requests … but it is something that is doable for a town of our size,” said Anderson.

Ringrose said the unanimous support of the recreation committee impressed

him, while admitting, “Yes, we are moving fast on this … I accept that people have concerns or reservations; that’s normal.”

Cole, who opposed the indoor pool project because of high operating costs, said she’s supportive this time because projected annual deficits are manageable.

“The result will be totally different, (compared to) what people were envisioning for the indoor pool. Some people will not be satisfied with that, but I think it’s something we can afford.” To which she concluded: “This is an opportunity to make some people happy. Some will be very unhappy.”

What Pontiac’s looking for Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Pontiac County battles to keep Canadian National line Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - For several years, Canadian National has threatened to pull up its line that runs from Pembroke to Ottawa, and now the process has begun. There’s a hiccup for CN, however.

Canadian National recently pulled up its track between Pembroke and Beachburg, but efforts to continue that dismantlement, just a few kilometres from Portage-du-Fort, last week met with some resistance.

Members of Transport Pontiac-Renfrew (TPR) and local municipalities, including the Pontiac County Regional Municipality (MRC), gathered at the railway crossing near where more than 100 metres of railway cars were parked, ready to take away rail scheduled for dismantlement.

That’s when local Quebec municipal officials and members of TPR made their statement by driving one of MRC’s staff vehicles over the tracks and joining the vehicle for a display of defiance in front of several local journalists.

The truck remained in place until CN hired a local tow truck company to remove the vehicle, only to have the company say it wouldn’t take the job. Meanwhile, on Thursday, Aug. 15, two other local citizens parked their trucks at the railway crossing to voice their displeasure with CN. MRC officials say the law is on their side, after receiving provincial passage of bylaw 1922013 that forbids any new land or construction use, “including the dismantlement of the track and the alienation of the Canadian National railway section crossing the municipalities of Bristol, Clarendon, Litchfield and Portage-duFort.”

In contrast, CN director of public and governmental affairs Jim Feeny said CN considers the bylaw invalid in this case because MRC Pontiac has no jurisdiction over CN’s federallyregulated assets.

At the ceremonial demonstration Aug. 13, Pontiac Warden Mike McCrank read a written statement.

“It is an important time and a very momentous time,” said the warden, “because if we lose this fight our chances of economic upswing is almost slim to nothing. To CN today, I want to say that Canadian National has shown its true face to all Canadians, with their total contempt

for the municipalities of Portage-du-Fort, Litchfield, Clarendon and Bristol, as well as MRC Pontiac, not to mention (the Ministry of) Municipal Affairs and the Quebec government who endorsed our interim control bylaw.

“We are a small community, but CN has done this to a lot of communities in the past and they will do it in the future. And they’re good at it.

What they’re doing is they’re killing communities. If we, as Quebecers and Canadians, allow them to kill our communities, we’re not going to have much left in 20 years.”

Referring to local paper mills, hotels and other business, McCrank added: “CN was built by our communities, and I’m telling you today, CN, I’m not ready to die. I’ll ask this community to stand together and defy this Goliath at all costs.”

McCrank followed that statement with another at a Monday, Aug. 19 news conference in front of the industrial park in Litchfield, two kilometres from the earlier photo op on the local rail line.

After his official statement, McCrank noted that this particular line was the Trans-Canada line many years ago.

“Today, it is only a small part of what was, but it’s life and death for small communities,” said McCrank in his Aug. 13 statement.

“We’re just one little place in Quebec, but there’s places out West and down East who have lost their communities because they’ve lost their rail.

“Businesses, and large businesses, will not survive long-term unless they have affordable transportation to get to their markets. With the price of gas going up, it’s going to be harder and harder to survive.”

An example of the seriousness of this “rural Canada problem,” said McCrank, was the decision by the Pembroke business ATC to relaunch its business because of the lack of a firm commitment from Canadian National to keep the line open.

Relaunching, estimated McCrank, would have resulted in about 200 jobs on site and hundreds more off-site jobs.

The warden says it has been challenging dealing with CN the last few years, including its recent move to buy back the local line for about $1 million before telling MRC Pontiac its purchase price was $30 million.

There were more than a dozen protestors at Monday morning’s news conference, including placard-bearing Mavis and Graeme Brownlee of Shawville.

News - Pontiac County officials continue to send out an SOS message to the provincial and federal governments requesting that its local Canadian National railway line be saved for generations to come.

Pontiac County warden Mike McCrank and director general Rémis Bertrand stressed the urgency of the situation Monday morning (Aug. 19) when they filed an injunction to the Quebec Superior Court to enforce the local bylaw that prevents CN from dismantling the local lines.

That case was expected to be heard mid-week.

Meanwhile, Pontiac officials hosted their own news conference to again stress the urgency behind keeping the local rail line open.

Warden McCrank read an official statement in English, with vice-warden Raymond Durocher reading the same statement in French.

The statement was addressed to PM Stephen Harper, Quebec Premier Pauline Marois and Cana-

dian CEO Claude Mongeau.

McCrank began by reminding a gathering of several dozen officials and area residents that the area has not yet recovered from its forestry crisis of 2008 and noting that “we know we are not the only community under siege.

Since the closing of the Smurfit-Stone paper mill, we have spared no effort to find solutions, and have done so without any involvement from our governments (provincially and federally) to date.

“Today we say, ‘Enough.’

This battle goes far beyond saving a simple rail line. It’s a battle for an entire region struggling to survive.”

The Quebec government has invested in substantial transportation infrastructure, but not in the Pontiac, suggested McCrank.

“Not only do we not have an autoroute, but ... Highway 148 is still excluded from the strategic roads network, thus preventing us from having official tourism infrastructures.”

Roy seeks more support for Madawaska Highlands Observatory Bell indicated the GrifďŹ th site is not only close to the large Canadian urban centres of Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal and populations in the northern United States, but has a particularly dark sky because of the lack of light pollution. “This is just an ideal location for both the science and the tourist draw,â€? said Bell.

The telescopes, said Roy, will provide absolutely incredible visuals half-way across the universe, including phenomenal details on planets.

Year two of the project calls for 125,000 visitors, of which 25 per cent will be international. Generated jobs will number more than 100 on site, and another 200 or so in the region, said Bell. An Ontario modelling engine suggests visitors will spend more than $200 million locally over 10 years. “Lots of tax revenue, and Renfrew (will be among communities) to beneďŹ t,â€? said Bell.

Four day later, a news release from the observatory announced the start of the environmental assessment of the observatory’s 100-acre property near GrifďŹ th. The release notes OELHydroSys (which is also involved with the Renfrew Power Generation expansion in Renfrew) has been hired to carry out the one-year project. “The property,â€? said the news release, “will host the two most powerful telescopes in Canada and a stageof-the-art, off-grid 25,000 squarefoot visitors centre with a digital planetarium, displays and the largest public telescopes in North America.â€?

News - Business partners Frank Roy and Greg Bell continue their travels to see local municipal support for their multi-million-dollar Madawaska Highlands Observatory.

The two Ottawa businessmen, who are backing the GrifďŹ th-area project that’s projected to cost up to $20 million, say the project will brings thousands of tourists and a few hundred jobs to the area, not to mention spinoff business to such communities as Renfrew.

Roy hosted a public meeting April 27 in GrifďŹ th before about 100 people. He has since made presentations to municipal councils in Greater Madawaska, Madawaska Valley, Pikwakanagan and Renfrew.

The Renfrew presentation occurred at the Aug. 12 council meeting, where Roy sought letters of support for provincial and federal ministries. He and Bell both addressed council.

Bell projected that half of the year’s visitors will be students from kindergarten to Grade 12 because of the project’s strong astronomy-based educational program, of which many details are available at www.madawaskahighlandsobservatory.com “We expect this will be a premier tourist destination in Ontario, perhaps in Canada. It’s going to bring prosperity to the region,� said Bell, who told council the location is one of the most ideal in Canada because of its dark night skies and lack of urban-based light.

The area is unrivalled in southern Canada, says the observatory website, because of such factors as ap-

at four businesses — Stop 41 Restaurant in Denbigh, GrifďŹ th Timbermart, GrifďŹ th general store and Cottage of Hidden Treasures in Matawatchan.

The petitions have garnered more than 300 signatures of support, says Ross. “In a small rural area, it’s natural there are few economic opportunities,� Ross told The Mercury. “Why shouldn’t we try to improve things.

Young people are growing up, it’s a beautiful area, so what better business than an observatory�

Ross’s petition says signees see the project will have a positive impact on the local economy and way of life for generations to come. The same petition calls for all elected ofďŹ cials to help farther this project.

Back at Renfrew council, Roy said, “We’re giving an experience that Canadians don’t have anywhere else in Canada or, in fact, in North America.

As for the ďŹ nancial viability of the project, Roy said more equity investors are being attracted. “We’ve added investors to the pool,â€? said Bell. “It’s still in the infancy, but steps in the right direction.â€? “We have some equity, and we’re building (momentum), so we think this process will probably go through into next year.â€?

ber of created jobs is about 200, the projected number of annual visitors about 80,000.

In response, Mayor Bill Ringrose has written a letter ‘enthusiastically’ endorsing the project. The same letter has been sent to Roy and copied to the County of Renfrew, MP Cheryl Gallant and MPP John Yakabuski. “This planned premier facility will be a key tourism attraction for the Town of Renfrew and the greater region, and will attract people from all over the Canada and internationally,â€? says the letter. “This endeavour will be a net beneďŹ t to the local economies ‌ bringing added jobs and prosperity.â€?

Ringrose also says in the ďŹ ve-paragraph letter: “Tourists visiting the observatory will marvel at the unobstructed dark skies where the Milky Way actually casts a shadow and the very large visitors’ telescopes give spectacular views of our universe. “We wish you expeditious success with this project.â€?

In the presentation to council Aug. 12, Roy spoke about a GrifďŹ th-area survey that has garnered huge support.

EDITORIAL

It’s time to abolish the Senate

Opinion - More and more Canadians are coming to the realization that the Senate doesn’t work for them; that successive governments have done nothing more than promise to fix it; and that the only way to convince national and provincial politicians to closing the upper house is by demanding a referendum. Allow Canadians to vote on it and may the majority get its way. That’s how democracy works.

Plenty of academics, public intellectuals and elder statesmen have kept the Senate alive for far too long. They remind us that its existence is guaranteed by the Constitution. They appear to value their knowledge of the law more than the spirit of good sense. They tell us that only by opening that dreaded can of worms can abolition occur; as if the country would split by following the will of the majority.

They ask: How can we convince senators to kill their own jobs, let along convince all five provinces that enjoy over-representation in the upper house to agree? Easy. Show them the referendum results. Those that choose to ignore them do so at their own political peril.

There are many reasons why the Senate should be abolished. At the very top is its inherent elitism. It began as an institution for rich landowners to protect themselves from the rev-

olutionary masses that swept over many countries during the Age of Ideology. It remains so to this day, with party faithful entering the red chamber on little more than cocktail-party credentials. Each is paid $132,300 a year. Taxpayers pay $106 million a year for it, not including pension plan contributions.

No less than 14 advanced countries have abolished their upper houses, many citing the unelected aspect. (Canada has numerous examples of unelected senators blocking legislation proposed by elected members of parliament.)

But others noted the under-representation of minorities and women; the slow-moving process of legislation due to upper house scrutiny; and long or unlimited terms in office reminiscent of monarchism. The constant defence heard of those who sit in the senate is that of the “sober second thought.� This is a thinly veiled plea to meritocracy. Only that argument fails when one points to just how partisan the environment on Parliament Hill has become.

It is time for all politicians to follow the NDP lead, and admit that filling an entire second level of government with their friends — in 21st Century Canada — is profoundly undemocratic. Sober second thought follows the will of the people.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Citizen urges residents to stop council’s push for outdoor pool To the editor: Opinion - The Town of Renfrew recently conducted a recreation master plan study. The results of this study clearly indicated that some 80 per cent of the population of the Town of Renfrew want an indoor aquatic facility. This figure is consistent with the results obtained from five earlier studies conducted over the last 25 years.

Recently, during the term of this council, the mayor and councillors jammed together a concept for an aquatic centre and second ice surface as well as an indoor track and other facilities. Their proposal drove the cost of the project to over $18 million and operating costs in excess of $500,000 per year. This plan was quickly voted down by town council

as being to costly. The aquatic committee was then told by the mayor that there would be no further consideration of an aquatic facility during the term of this council.

Since that time there has been no action by town council to study how and when a stand-alone indoor aquatic facility could be built and operated.

Now, on Aug. 12, 2013 Renfrew town council passed a motion to proceed with the building of an outdoor pool commencing in the fall of this year.

This concept only received 20 per cent public support in the master plan. The charge to build this facility is being led by the same councillor who indicated that the municipality could not afford to build any facility

in the first place.

This is a case of a bandage approach to solving a problem and is the worst thing that council can do for the following reasons: 1. This facility will only provide swimming for approximately 10 weeks of the year.

2. Little or no use will be made of this facility for therapeutic purposes.

3. This is not the type of facility that most senior citizens would make use of.

4. Swimming activities during the winter, spring and fall months will be non-existent.

5. No plans are included in this project to allow for the enclosure of this facility at a later date to address the need for an indoor facility.

6. The money being used for this

project is approximately 30 per cent of the cost of building and indoor facility while this facility will only be used 20 per cent of the year.

7. Part of the financing for this project is coming out of the swimming pool trust fund, which was established back in 1990. These are funds that were contributed for the building of an indoor aquatic facility and where left in trust of the town to be used at such time as an indoor aquatic facility was built. This is in itself a misappropriation of these funds.

8. The community has indicated very, very clearly that they want an indoor aquatic facility and that they have very, very limited desire for an outdoor aquatic facility.

Council direction in this area is

wrong. Wrong for the community.

Wrong for the needs of the citizens.

Wrong for the long-term development of recreation in our community.

I urge each and every member of the community who wants to see an indoor aquatic facility to call their members of council and tell them to stop this insane proposal. Stop it now before the shovel goes in the ground.

Stop it now before any hard-earned tax payers dollars are spent on what will essentially be a facility used by a very few residents while the vast majority will be sitting on the sidelines.

Do not take no for an answer in this case. Tell them to Do It Right or Don’t Do It At All. Glen Goslin Renfrew

High praise for off-leash park at ‘beautiful, convenient’ Ma-Te-Way Park setting To the editor: Opinion - Congratulations to Joanne Caldwell, program developer at the Town of Renfrew, her cast of fundraising volunteers, the generous donors and the Renfrew Town Council for the establishment and official opening of Renfrew’s first off-leash

dog park. The new park is located in the Ma-Te-Way complex, a simply beautiful and convenient setting on the west side of town. Finally, dogs in our town have a dedicated space for play, exercise and socializing with other dogs while their human caregivers make new

friends at the park.

The well socialized dog enjoys a much higher quality of life than those not properly socialized. The well socialized dog is also a constant source of joy for its human companion and contributes positively to its community. Research has now shown that

AUGUST 22, 1913 Lifestyle - M.J. O’BRIEN WILL BUILD RENFREW DRILL HALL: It was understood last week that Mr. M.J. O’Brien was the lowest tender for the erection of Renfrew Drill Hall; and early this week there was an undercurrent of talk that he would be, or had been awarded the contract.

ConďŹ rmation of the rumour came on Thursday, when that morning’s Ottawa Citizen arrived with the statement that the Cabinet had on the preceding afternoon given the contract to Mr. O’Brien at $35,000. He has 10 months in which to construct the building. The work, we learn from Mr. Spooner, his building manager, will be started in a few days.

WILL BUILD BARN: Mr. Thomas Chisholm this week purchased the Fitzmaurice property — or a portion of it — on main street; the brick veneered building now occupied as a Chinese laundry and some of the adjacent vacant ground. On the rear of the lot, facing on Albert Street south, he will build a livery barn of ďŹ re proof construction.

This Bennett-Lindsay Labyrinth at Bittersweet Gallery will be the site for the regional Ovarian Cancer Canada Walk of Hope Sept. 8.

First regional Walk of Hope coming to Burnstown Sept. 8 Bittersweet Gallery fundraiser for Ovarian Cancer Canada Bittersweet Gallery and Fog Run Studio

Lifestyle - Sunday, Sept. 8, Cheryl Babineau and Richard Gill of Bittersweet Gallery and Fog Run Studio are hosting the first Burnstown regional Walk of Hope for Ovarian Cancer Canada.

They will profile the walk with the help of a medieval 11-circuit Chartres-style labyrinth that is mowed into their meadow.

Labyrinths have been used for more than 4,000 years old. Crossing cultural and religious traditions, they can be found in countries all over the globe.

The labyrinth was a central feature in many European Roman Catholic churches in the middle ages and many still exist today, including the most famous, at Cathedral of Notre Dame de Chartres near Paris, France.

Burnstown’s Bennett–Lindsay labyrinth, which is fashioned after the same pattern, is known as a medieval 11 circuit.

It was originally measured and laid out by the late Peter Bennett of Renfrew along with the help of Pete’s wife Loana (Lou) and friend Kathryn (Kate) Lindsay who is actively involved in maintaining it today.

In 2005 Pete, Lou and Kate practically insisted on making a labyrinth at Bittersweet fashioned after the one Pete and Lou had cut one into the meadow at their Pucker Street property outside Renfrew.

Cheryl recalls being reluctant at the time because she and Richard felt it was too much maintenance, but they agreed when Kate said they would help maintain it.

Amidst protests by Pete, he and Kate re-installed the labyrinth in 2007 in its current position in the meadow.

LABOUR OF LOVE

When Peter died in 2010, Kate, Cheryl and Richard decided to keep maintaining the labyrinth as a labour of love in Peter’s memory.

Over the last decade, they said they’d like to put the under-utilized labyrinth to good use, espe-

cially since it was such a labour of love. Hence the evolution of a very unique setting for a Walk of Hope for Ovarian Cancer Canada.

The cause is especially meaningful to Richard, as he lost his mother and two sisters to the disease and has two daughters at high risk. He is donating a grand prize of a relief sculpture for the cause and there will be other door prizes donated by area businesses and restaurants as well.

Ovarian cancer is often diagnosed in late stages, resulting in five-year survival rates of less than 30 per cent. The walk raises awareness and funds so that more women survive.

The regional Walk of Hope for Ovarian Cancer Canada using the labyrinth. This walk date coincides with the Ottawa National Capital Walk of Hope offering an alternative venue to walk in solidarity.

They have created a team called the Bittersweets and invite the public to join their team or sponsor team members or the team itself. This can be done at www.ovariancancerwalkofhope. ca by searching for the Burnstown location or the Bittersweets team.

SUNDAY MORNING START

Registration, refreshments and opening ceremony begins at 9 a.m., followed by Jessica Belanger of Renfrew singing opera in the centre of the labyrinth.

Participants will win door prizes and there will be a grand prize of a clay relief sculpture

by Richard for the most funds raised. Rain or shine, the walk in the labyrinth starts at 10 a.m. The walk will continue through a path that meanders around neighbouring barns for 2.5km. option or continue with a more strenuous walk up the hill on Leckie Lane on a five-km. loop (with a rest stop to visit the sheep along the way.) The walk will wrap up with draws for door prizes, grand prize award and closing remarks by Burnstown resident Denyse Campeau, the director of development for Ovarian Cancer Canada. Door prizes include gift certificates donated by several local businesses Participants should be aware the labyrinth surface is cut grass that can be dewy with some uneven ground, so comfortable walking footwear or barefoot is recommended.

If you need help understanding the Ontario Drug Benefit program including eligibility, coverage and benefits, ask our pharmacist.

We also continue to waive the $2.00 co-pay fee on ODB eligible prescriptions.

SANDHILL CRANES

This email from Gerry Lavery.

In the spring my wife and I heard the distinct calls of a sandhill crane in the pasture field across the Locha Creek from our home on Canaan Road. Yesterday, August 7th, and this morning we saw four sandhill cranes in a field on Goshen Road. This is the first sighting for me after living in British Columbia, Manitoba and Eastern Ontario. These birds are very majestic and exciting to see.

Gerry our next quest is to find the immature cranes if there are any.

Their presence is a sign that the adults have nested successfully. More proof that this species is becoming firmly established in this part of Eastern Ontario.

MERLIN, A RARE BIRD

A REQUEST FROM ENVIRONMENT CANADA

Shorebirds are on the move. Here in the Northern Hemisphere, southbound shorebird migration is well under way.

Many shorebird species that nest in the Arctic have already begun their journeys to wintering grounds in Central and South America. Researchers have used colour marking techniques to help them obtain reports on birds such as knots, turnstones, sanderlings, plovers and sandpipers as they travel to other areas. If you encounter shorebirds as part of your bird watching activities in the weeks to come, you may want to keep your eyes peeled for colour bands and/or colour flags on their legs. Visit the Environment Canada website to learn more about the Pan American Shorebird Program and the flag colours used by various countries and for instructions on how to report sightings of colour banded shorebirds.

Such activities add interest to our birding field trips.

Judith and Ron Mayer at McCuaig near Otter Lake, Quebec did not see a successful nesting of eastern phoebes this year. They have lived in the area over 40 years and the phoebes usually had two nestings each year. For some reason the female did not return to respond to the male’s persistent calling.

It is possible that she perished during migration.

This species is faithful to the nesting site and not to each other. Should another female arrive and answered the male’s call they will nest.

Next year the male will likely attract another female.

put, newspapers reach more people, more often.

Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them. That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when they’re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice that’s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.

Lifestyle - This note sent to us by Brian Eady.

“There seems to be a lack of fruit eating birds this year. I had tame cherries and actually got to pick some for myself. I only saw a couple of robins near the tree. Usually robins and waxwings clear the fruit before I get any.

The choke cherries, black raspberries and dogwood berries (three trees are loaded with fruit) are not being touched as well. This has been another strange year.”

As Brian has noted, fruit trees are “loaded” with fruit. It is a situation that will dictate the behaviour of our winter birds. Is there so much food available that they do not glean every cherry, berry or apple from all the trees? Will they remain with us longer, even stay over the winter; will birds such as robins, brown thrashers, European goldfinches, bluebirds and yellow-rumped warblers stay and be included in our Christmas Bird Count?

We shall see.

News - Canadian blues superstar Colin James celebrated his birthday with a sea of fans Saturday night.

The third annual Class Axe Guitars Blues and Ribfest at Calabogie Peaks set another attendance record with estimated attendance of 19,000 – up significantly from 14,000 last summer.

“The parking lots overflowed, so we used the golf course to park – it worked great,” said Peaks owner Paul Murphy.

The weather was great and the chairlift and beach were big hits this year, he noted, adding that five ribbers put on a great show and fed the crowd. He said blues legend Johnny Winter was a big hit Friday night, and lead act Colin James drew the biggest crowd.

More than 10,000 people attended Saturday.

Greater Madawaska Mayor Peter Emon was Spectacular fireworks eximpressed. plode beside the waxing “The Class Axe Gui- moon Saturday night. tars Calabogie Blues and Ribfest is a tremendous contributor to the economic fabric and wellness of our community,” he said. Studies show visitors coming to the County of Renfrew, and by extension when visiting Greater Madawaska, will spend, on average, approximately $160 per person.

“We are excited by the venue, the music and the whole event as we are able to confidently predict when the analysis is complete it will show the number of visitors to Calabogie will exceed 20,000,” said Emon.

“In speaking with the businesses in Calabogie they are all excited about the numbers of people visiting this weekend and are confident people will visit again once they have sampled our area. This weekend was a great family event which was the product of the sponsorship and the vision of Dawg FM, Calabogie Peaks and Class Axe Guitars. It is also the result of the efforts and enthusiasm of the volunteers and employees.

“We are also fortunate to have the financial support of the Province of Ontario,” said Emon.

The proud mayor described the festival as an excellent means of continually demonstrating what a great place Calabogie, and rural Ontario, is to live in and to visit.

“The lineup was great and Colin James was a special show and I hope he makes Calabogie a regular stop,” Emon said.

Some things are just GARBAGE R00261950109

cording to a University of California, Berkley study, one in three bites of food in the United States is a result of pollination by both wild and domestic bees. But disease, parasites, habitat loss, poor over-wintering and chemical use have caused a serious decline in bee populations.

The good news is something can be done. A seminar on how to encourage bees back to your property will be held on Sunday, Sept. 15 from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Civitan Hall, 6787 County Rd. 43, in Perth.

Susan Chan, program manager at Farms at Work, will provide landowners with ways to attract bees by turning unused or marginal land into habitat for these natural pollinators. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Susan Chan has to say will be of interest to farmers, gardeners, horticulturists, and bee-keepers as well as environmentalists, ecologists, and biologists,â&#x20AC;? says event organizer Andy Kerr-Wilson.

MASSIVE MAZDA 3 SALES EVENT BEST DRIVE. BEST SELECTION. BEST TIME TO BUY STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND

Enough is enough. That’s the word Aug. 13 from these members of the Pontiac MRC (Regional County Municipality), local municipalities and Transport Pontiac-Renfrew, as they oppose the presence of the Canadian National cars brought in to carry away dismantled sections of the CN railway line in the Pontiac MRC communities of Bristol, Clarendon, Litchfield and Portage-du-Fort. From left, in the front row, are Maurice White, Jamie Chasles, Gerry Phillipe, Louise Donaldson, Brittany Morin, Bill Stewart, Raymond Durocher, Pontiac County Warden Mike McCrank, Jack Lang and Ann-Marie Vaz.

Pontiac Continued from page 4

Meanwhile, McCrank says TPR has worked “tirelessly to come up with solutions,” but without much success because of CN’s inflexibility.

Canadian National doesn’t see it that way. In fact, CN’s repurchase of lines from Quebec Railway (of which Ottawa Central Rail was part) in 2008 included CN’s assumption of certain debt and liability as well as a cash exchange based on the line equipment’s fair market value, says Feeny.

Feeney was also part of the meeting the next day, Aug. 14, in Montreal with manager of network strategies John Brayley and Pontiac MRC director general Rémis Bertrand.

The meeting was calm and professional, but nothing was really solved, said Bertrand.

The sticking point, said Bertrand, is CN’s unwillingness to

Requests Continued from page 4

McCrank pointed out that Pontiac has five major hydro dams that contribute to the Quebec hydroelectric grid, but without any returned benefit to the region.

Nevertheless, local government efforts continue to support sustainable development that is linked to technologies of the future.So now Pontiac County needs substantial backing from the province to keep the CN line in place, said McCrank.

McCrank and Durocher also outlined their requests to government, Canadian National and the Bill Gates of Microsoft fame who is also a very significant shareholder

confirm availability of the rail line for future business use.

“There are quite a few interested parties (businesses),” said Bertrand, including among them the current Trebio wood pellets firm that operates out of Pontiac MRC’s industrial park.

Feeny says future local business possibilities for CN tumbled with the 2009 closure of the Smurfit Stone plant, which was the only user of the local line at the time.

More recently, CN began the federally-related discontinuance process — the same process followed for the CP line that has since been pulled up in Renfrew County.

That process included efforts, said Feeny, to find a customer or a buyer for the line.

Efforts included request for a tax credit (similar to how Renfrew County purchased the former Canadian Tire building in Renfrew for $1 and a $2 million tax credit to Canadian of CN stock, supposedly to the equivalent of 4.7 billion shares.

McCrank and Durocher said MRC Pontiac is asking the federal government: 1. for a moratorium to maintain the railway that links Ottawa to the Pontiac Industrial Park, and 2. to instruct its international development agencies to promote the Pontiac.

The Pontiac is asking the Quebec government: 1. to create a substantial investment fund to redeploy businesses and industries in the Pontiac, and 2. help the Pontiac market its potential and its resources, including rail service.

Of Canadian National, MRC Pontiac wants: 1. dismantling of the local railway to stop, 2. to hear honest rate proposals for the purchase or return

Tire). But Revenue Canada rejected that proposal, said Feeny. “We’ve worked the last three years to try to keep the (local) rail line in operation … Unfortunately, those efforts have not been successful,” said Feeny.

One of TPR’s spokespeople, Louise Donaldson, said, “The MRC has really supported rail unconditionally. Setting up that bylaw was not easy. For it to be defied is fairly critical.

Clearly, CN has an army of lawyers, which small communities and local governments do not have, so how will this play out? I have no clue.”

Just a few metres away are the CN cars brought into to carry dismantled track to other locations. Pointing at the crawlers and long line of storage cars (a.k.a. sleds) lined up behind, Pontiac County vice-warden Raymond Durocher said with distaste: “You call that an economic ghostbuster.” of service of the rail line, and 3. a review with shareholders, not administrative personel, of their willingness to help the Pontiac rebuild its economy.

MRC Pontiac is also asking shareholder Bill Gates to send a note to Canadian National CEO Claude Mongeau to maintain the local railway.

Several local residents showed up at the Monday news conference to voice their support with placards or guitar.

Among them were Graeme and Mavis Brownlee of Shawville, guitarist Robert Wills of Thorne, and Venetia Crawford of Shawville. The rail was a significant part of the county’s development in the late 1800s, but its departure will signify the downfall of the county, said Crawford.

How to deal with life-threatening virus for puppies and young dogs Pet Connect

Lifestyles - Parvovirus is a potentially life-threatening infection for puppies and young adult dogs.

This virus is extremely contagious and strikes rapidly without warning. Once infected, cells that absorb food and water are destroyed and the pets immune response is effected, lowering its ability to fight off infection.

With the intestinal tract unable to properly absorb nutrients, the infected pet will begin to have severe diarrhea and vomiting that will quickly lead to dehydration.

Up to 50 per cent of puppies will die if not treated immediately. Symptoms associated with infection generally include vomiting, profuse diarrhea, lack of appetite, fever and lethargy.

Commonly these pets are hospitalized for three to seven days, but for some it may take weeks before they recover. Intensive care is required to treat and can be at a substantial expense.

Parvovirus is spread through the feces of infected dogs and can remain infectious in the environment for up to five months or more!

Due to this virus being so resilient, your pet can contract parvovirus from areas highly populated with dogs like parks, kennels, shelters and pet stores.

Protection is available through regular vaccination and is vital in puppies. The protection puppies receive from their mother will wear off around the age of four months, leaving them unprotected and at a high risk.

For this reason, it is extremely important that puppies

receive vaccines beginning at six to eight weeks, and continue with monthly boosters until the age of 16 to 18 weeks old.

For adult dogs, yearly vaccinations help maintain immunity.

For new puppy owners, prevention is the best treatment!

Be sure your puppy has begun a vaccine protocol for protection and it is a good idea to restrict your puppy from area’s of high dog-traffic until all their vaccines have been given.

Your veterinarian is the best source of information regarding prevention and treatment.

If you suspect your pet may have parvovirus, seek veterinary care immediately. Only early detection and treatment will offer your pet the best chance against this deadly disease.

Owner goes to extreme measures to find lost dogs Your key to must-see homes in the area!

Derek Dunn Derek.dunn@metroland.com

News - One dog lover is going to great lengths to find her long lost companions.

Amy Robillard was at home in Fitzroy Harbour with her father and two “puggles,” a mix of pug and beagle on June 22.

The tan and black, shortlegged, long-backed buddies wanted out to do their business at the usual time, about 8 p.m.

While Jackson, 6, a male, and Bailey, 3, a female, sometimes go off exploring the ravine near the water for a time, they usually return quite quickly.

However, on this Saturday evening the rain may have washed away scents that would have guided them back home. Adding to the series of factors culminating against the dogs was the fact they weren’t wearing collars.

Guilt for not putting on their collars brings tears to Robillard’s eyes.

Her and finance Brent LaBrie built their relationship, in part, on raising the dogs for the last three

AUGUST 25TH FROM 2-4

Among the West Carleton dogs missing over the last few months are these two from Fitzroy Harbour. Although some suspect dognappings to feed a dogfighting ring, police say they aren’t investigating the possibility. years.

“They are like our family,” she said. “They are like our kids.”

Which is why she continues to hold out hope almost two months later that her friends will be found safe and sound.

Robillard is offering a $1,000 reward for Jackson and Bailey’s return. Another 1,000 posters appear in all points of West Carleton and beyond.

She’s knocked on countless doors, and keeps tabs on various internet sites such as helpinglostpets. com and Facebook’s Ottawa and Valley Lost Pet Network.

She marvels that dog lovers stick together, with complete strangers doing all they can to help.

She has followed up on numerous tips.

“I’ve pretty much found everybody else’s dogs,” she said.

While the drive to and from tipster’s has been emotional, she welcomes more.

“It’s definitely tough, but you have to do it anyway,” she said. “The possibility it could be them is there.”

DOGFIGHTING RING?

If the dogs are still alive, it is highly likely they are with someone who believes they were abandoned.

They might not know that Jackson is microchipped.

However, Ottawa police and Renfrew OPP say there is no secret dogfight-

ing ring in the area, despite numerous rumours to the contrary.

Some in West Carleton say a rash of dognappings - particularly of small dogs - has taken place, leading them to the conclusion that their dogs have been used as bait.

There is a possibility that the dogs are in the Carp area. Robillard has heard that a woman walks two puggles at the fair grounds.

Community - The fall touring season is just around the corner and the Rural Ramble website is accepting 2013 event submissions.

The annual ramble is organized by the Ottawa Valley Tourist Association and over the years has grown from a small twoday farm tour to a free, on-going festival from Sept. 1 to Oct. 31. The Rural Ramble features four themes: Adventure & Exploration, Agriculture & Food, History & Heritage and Arts & Culture.

The website www.theruralramble.ca, designed by Blue North Studios, showcases special events that take place during the Rural Ramble time frame. Rural Ramblers are able to customize their own fall touring experiences using an online interactive map.

They will be able to create, download and print customized routes based on the dates and themes of their choice.

Introduced in 2012, the online format of the Rural Ramble means that printing and distribution costs are removed.

These savings are being passed onto Rural Ramble sites.

Accessibility improvements ongoing at RVH Making our space easy to navigate and as safe as possible is a very high priority.

A number of major accessibility projects have recently been completed throughout the hospital to remove barriers and improve overall safety for our patients and visitors.

Denise Dominy, Chair of the RVH Accessibility Committee, says that it is a continuous process to identify problematic areas, create a plan and complete any necessary renovations as required by the standards set out in the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA).

Beginning with your drive up to the hospital, there is an accessible parking meter located at the front of the emergency doorway that anyone can reach from their car to pay for a parking ticket. “It’s also convenient for people with kids who can’t leave their little ones in the vehicle to go and get a parking ticket, or if there’s inclement weather,” notes Dominy.

Other recent enhancements have introduced new, wider doors at the RVH Gift Shop entrance and an electronic eye at the emergency entrance to prevent anyone from being caught in between the sliding doors. Dominy says the visual sensor is now the standard, instead of the timed sensor that was part of the system when the new emergency wing was built in 2001.

“Our current priority is bathrooms,” says Dominy, both from an accessibility perspective and for infection control. The second floor has one newly renovated patient room washroom

with a door wide enough to accommodate wheelchairs; the goal is to upgrade more washrooms.

Providing accessible services and care is more than the physical building, reminds Dominy. Accessibility planning also aims to meet the needs of individuals who are deaf or hearing impaired, blind or have low vision problems, have cognitive delays, mental disabilities or have communication difficulties.

RVH has introduced many new visual aides in waiting rooms to inform and assist patients through messages displayed on either our new television screens or across the message board in the emergency waiting area.

“Patients are asked to inform a nurse if there are any issues, so they are aware that they require extra attention when they call their name, for example,” she says.

Looking ahead, the committee is preparing to comply with recommendations for accessible procurement and Information Technology (IT) as part of a new reporting format. And effective next year, RVH will be required to provide training to all employees, volunteers and other staff on Ontario’s accessibility laws and the Human Rights Code as it relates to people with disabilities, says Dominy.

The committee welcomes any suggestions or ideas to improve accessibility at RVH. Comments can be directed to Denise Dominy at 613-432-4851 ext. 186 or dominyd@ renfrewhosp.com.

A step back in time at pioneer school open house Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Community – It was a chance for Balsam Hill-Horton Women’s Institute to share a very unique project with the community.

July 20, the group hosted an open house at SS No. 2, a living museum school house they maintain. The event included a demonstration of an old-fashioned school day as well as lessons.

The open house was held in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of Renfrew County South Women Institute’s. Bals WI member and pioneer school teacher Pauline Hughes said everyone gets a real kick out of visiting the museum.

The WI has owned the building since 1966, using it mostly as a meeting hall. In 1998, a meeting was held to determine what would be done with it and through Judy Cressman and Karen Pender, the idea for a living museum was born.

With the help of a provincial Trillium grant and tons of community support, SS No. 2 was ready for visitors in 2000.

“A lot of people donated things and labour and provided things at cost,” said Hughes.

For the most part, the schoolhouse

hosts class trips and visits from other groups.

Pioneers are a focus of the Grade 3 curriculum and the trip is a great fit with for those students, said Hughes.

In its busiest year, the schoolhouse saw visits from 20-some classes but this year the number was closer to 12.

One of the most inhibiting factors for schools are busing costs, said Hughes, with some classes opting to have parents drop off and pick up students.

Visiting students get a true sense of what life was like a century ago.

“They live a day in the life of a student in 1900,” said Hughes. “We do arithmetic, spelling bees, learn a paragraph and memorize a poem.”

Students get their drinks with a dipper and bucket, learn Roman numerals and climb trees at recess. “I am very strict, the students stand when they speak to me,” said Hughes.

At the start of the day, some students are apprehensive, she said, but by the end of it, they’ve enjoyed the experience.

“At the end of it they tell me they like it,” said Huhes. “And parents have come up to me and said their kids are still talking about it.”

The School House is located at the intersection of Foy and Stone roads in Admaston – Bromley.

Plenty of academic honours for University of Western Ontario graduate Leesa Fleury Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Community - It was a successful educational journey at the University of Western Ontario for Leesa Fleury of Calabogie.

She graduated this spring with a bachelor of science degree with an honours specialization in physics with distinction. She also earned the Raymond Compton Dearle gold medal in physics, awarded to the student with the highest standing in the honours physics program at the university.

Fleury did her post-secondary education in Renfrew, where she attended St. Joseph’s Catholic High School for Grades 9 and 10, and Grades 11 and 12 at Renfrew Collegiate Institute.

At London’s University of Western Ontario, she received more than 20 awards or scholarships. These included Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) research awards of more than $8,000, awarded three successive years on the basis of academic merit and research aptitude.

The NSERC assistance led to the publishing of her paper on organic photovoltaics in Applied Physics Letters.

Among her other academic honours were the Richard Ivey Continuing Scholarship in Science, and the Robert and Ruth Lumsden Scholarship in Science.

She also received NSERC’s $17,500 Alexander Graham Bell Canada Graduate Scholarship for research during her master’s degree studies in physics at McGill University. Fleury, the daughter of Debbie and Rene Fleury, starts that degree this fall.-

Leesa Fleury of Calabogie has earned her BSc in physics from the University of Western Ontario.

Record enrolemnt expected Community - Classes will start in a few weeks at Algonquin College’s new Waterfront Campus in Pembroke, but there is still time to apply to a full-time program. Many programs have limited seats but there is still room in programs such as computer systems technician, business, radiation safety and office administration-executive.

Algonquin’s manager of community and student affairs, Jamie Bramburger, says there is always a lot of activity during the summer months in the admissions office. “It is not unexpected that many people are now just deciding on attending college. While some of our

more popular health care programs are waitlisted, there still are opportunities to get a seat in other programs. The key is to get moving and get your application in as soon as possible,” adds Bramburger Algonquin College is expecting another record enrolment this fall as it spends its first full year in its new campus.

The college will be offering 18 full-time programs beginning in September, including its new culinary arts-chef training and construction techniques programs.

Applications to programs can be made through www.ontariocolleges.ca.

Sam Hammond, who led the fight against Ontario’s Bill 115 with 76,000 members of the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO), was re-elected federation president at its annual meeting Aug. 12.

He has served as ETFO president since 2009.

“ETFO and its members have demonstrated time and time again that they are leaders when it comes to high quality public education, advocating for equity and social justice, and standing up for labour rights in Ontario,” Hammond told 800 delegates at the meeting.

“We took a very principled stand against Bill 115 to protect the funda-

mental rights of all working people, and students who will enter the workforce one day.

“As president, I look forward to ensuring ETFO’s leadership in championing public education and democratic rights as we head into the next round of collective bargaining and a possible provincial election.”

“In the year ahead, we will maintain our national leadership in professional development, providing curriculum resources, workshops, and conferences to foster teaching excellence that has made Ontario’s education system one of the best in the world.

“ETFO will also continue to pursue our equity and social justice mandate to ensure schools and com-

munities foster equality and inclusion, particularly when it comes to Aboriginal, racial, ability-disability, gender, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender issues both at home and abroad.”

“Each of our members has a deep commitment to providing the best learning environment possible for all students.

“It is those values that will guide the federation’s work over the next two years,” added Hammond.

Valiant effort falls short at world championships Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

It was a much stronger showing than her opening heat at the 2012 Olympic Games.

But 800-metre specialist Melissa Bishop of Eganville was still eliminated in opening-round action at the IAAF World Championships in Moscow.

She finished sixth of eight runners in the fourth and final heat of the 14th world track and field championships Aug. 15. In Bishop’s first appearance at the Worlds, she ran a time of 2 minutes 1.91 seconds, compared to her personal best set a few weeks ago of 1:59.76.

Eunice Jepkoech Sum of Kenya led the field through 400 metres in 58.96 seconds, with Bishop off her shoulder. Sum went on to win in 2:00.49, or the slowest of the four heats’ winning times. Also advancing from that race to the second round were Elena Kotulskaya of Russia (2:00.50) and Laura Muir of Great Britain with a personal best of 2:00.80.

“I wanted to get out and if the pace wasn’t there just take it. I didn’t want a repeat of the Olympic Games ... I was feel-

ing it so I went for it. Obviously it didn’t turn out how I wanted,” said Bishop.

“I truly saw myself in the final,” said the Eganville Olympian. By running in the last of four heats, she said it wasn’t going to be slow if she was to advance to the next round.

“Before the race my coach (Dennis Fairall) and I had talked and I knew that I would likely be leading some of the race. I didn’t want to sit and wait for anyone to dictate a slow pace and then everyone try and kick home. That happened in London and it didn’t work out for me. Secondly, I felt confident enough to take the assuming role of the leader in order to make the race honest.”

Bishop was in great position coming off the final corner, but says she “just didn’t have the second gear to get me to the finish line in the right place.

I’m extremely disappointed in my performance, but I’m coming away from this having learned that I can work on multiple areas of my race.”

Each of the opening-round three heats was won in 1:59, including the fastest time of 1:59.39 in the first heat by Brenda Martinez of the United

States.

In that heat, Karine Belleau-Béliveau of Montreal led through 400 in 57.08, before fading to seventh in 2:02.93.

“I felt really good the first lap, I think I went out a little too fast though, but that was my tactic going in,” said Belleau-Béliveau.

“Coming in I had one of the slower times so I just had to go for it. Next time I’ll have more confidence and not go out as hard, (and) be ready for a tactical race.”

Winners of the other opening heats were Alysia Johnson Montano of the U.S. in 1:59.47 and Malika Akkaoui of Morocco in 1:59.63.

The same day, the Canadian team captured its third of five medals of the championships, when Derek Drouin of Corunna, Ont., finished third in the men’s high jump.

That followed a bronze medal for decathlete Damian Warner of London and a silver medal for heptathlete Brianne Theisen-Eaton of Humboldt, Sask.

Bishop is back training in Windsor this week, but will return to Europe next month, to race at the Francophone Games in Nice, France.

Sports - Pitt Contracting and Militant Outdoors could very well be on a collision course in the MaTe-Way Mixed Slo Pitcih League.

Both teams swept doubleheaders late last week to grab 2-0 leads in their bestof-five semifinal series.

Unbeaten Pitt Contracting remained that way, although they had to battle right to the end in each of their two wins over Macâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Milk.

Corey Dougherty launched a three-run homer in the bottom of the eighth inning to gave Pittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dramatic 18-16 victory over Macâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the series opener Aug. 14.

Terry Pitt and Lance Dougherty also slugged home runs while Mitchell Jamieson earned his first of two pitching wins on the night.

Pittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trailed 13-9 in the top of the seventh before a second Corey Dougherty three-run shot and two infield singles produced a 1413 triumph in game two.

Scott Davis also went deep for Pittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Macâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pitcher Rob Essiambre hit three home runs in the doubleheader.

Jay Charron and Trevor Clemmer also had roundtrippers. Tiffany Fleming collected four hits.

Since Dave Guthro took over pitching duties with his team down 2-0 in the opening round, Militant

has reeled off five consecutive wins.

They fended off Young Guns in the first game 2016, and then took game two 12-7, buoyed by a two-run triple off the bat of Amy Guthro during a five-run seventh inning.

Walker Mullen, Denver Mullen and Ryan Johnson went deep for Pittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Matt Brennan homered in both games for the Young Guns. Taylor Green (grand slam), Joel Corbin, Joel Blemkie (inside-the-park) and Andrew Green also hit round-trippers.

QUARTERFINAL SERIES

Both Militant Outdoors and the Young Guns advanced through the quarterfinal round with early-week victories.

The Young Guns turned back Ultimate Fitness 3-1 in games with a 22-9 win Aug. 12 behind the pitching of Lindsay Edwards.

Taylor Green and Joel Blemkie homered in the win. Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was a grand slam. Matt Brennan and Chloe Eady added four hits.

Brandon St. Pierre hit two over the fence for Ultimate Fitness. David Closs added one in support of pitcher Dan Deroy.

Militant overcame a twogame deficit to Blue Wave Energy with three consecutive victories, capped by a 17-7 victory Aug. 13.

Tornadoes take soccer league by storm Craig Wright Renfrew Tornadoes Soccer Coach

Sports - Aug. 11, the Renfrew Tornadoes played in Petawawa on Valley United Soccer League cup day.

All teams in the league were there, including two each from Renfrew, Arnprior and Petawawa, and Deep River and Opeongo.

Our team (Renfrew Tornadoes) won games over Deep River, Petawawa and Opeongo, taking us to the championship game against Pet-

awawa.

The background of our team, as a brand new head coach, is teaching the girls teamwork, and organization and building confidence.

But the most important thing is to have fun. We struggled at the beginning of the season but started to develop into a great team. I thank assistant head coach Kim Scott, assistant training coach Angela Montgomery, and give special thanks as well to Greg Lewis, parent of one of the girls, who assisted coaching for the

championship game. Thanks to the parents for their dedication to their children by getting them to practices, extra practices and in- and out-oftown games.

We also thank the Renfrew Minor Soccer League and VUSL league for all their support this season.

As a coach, these girls taught me so much, and I am so proud of each and every one of these girls. They all deserve the best in their sports, and I hope each one of them continues to play the game and grow.

Yolkowskieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Swatters make rec league climb

Athena Mitchell of Renfrew competes for Team Canada at the PanAmerican cadet wrestling championships Aug. 10. She placed fourth in her 65- kg. class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was awesome to see the intensity, competitiveness and high-calibre wrestling in Colombia,â&#x20AC;? Athena said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you to Team Canada for this rare opportunity. I am grateful for the whole experience. I became friends with wrestlers from the U.S., Colombian and Venezuelan teams and learned some Spanish too! I was surprised at how much the Colombia, Venezuela and Peru wrestlers were so excited to meet us and they were all so helpful and welcoming.â&#x20AC;? Vassil Mitchell said her daughter wrestled hard, giving it all she had, but lost her matches to American, Colombian and Venezuelan opponents.

Sports - Yolkowskie Construction and Swatters both enjoyed fine performances during the past two-week segment in the Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rec League at the Renfrew Golf Club.

Yolkowskieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s score of 220 in the C flight allowed them to move up to B; while a 232 score vaulted Swatters from D flight into C. Schwartz Drywall returned to A flight after a few weeksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; absence while Rowat Insurance outlasted the Abandoned Cubs by three shots to emerge first overall.

Teams dropping a flight were Yemen Electric, Cobus Homes and Beatty Pilgrim Construction.

Welch LLP in B flight, Pontiac in C, and Solar BoysOVG in D flight, were knocking on the door as all three teams finished second in their respective flights.

Closest-to-the-pin winners were Bill Maxwell on hole No. 2, Dan St. Michael on No. 4, Steven Dick on No. 14 and Matt Beimers on No. 17.

Community - This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme for the TD Summer Reading Program was GO!, which allowed for plenty of creativity and imagination as it took us around the world.

At the Admaston-Bromley Public Library, we embraced sub-themes each day, using crafts, games, books, and music to bring over 20 participants a greater understanding of the world outside of their community.

July 15, we travelled in style by creating shoebox â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;suitcasesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and our own silly adventure stories, with inspiration from Dr. Seussâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very first childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book, And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street.

Participants were able to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;explore near and farâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; July 17 on a nature walk and in imaginary postcards from far-away destinations.

We began to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;change the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Aug. 5 when we planted â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;seeds of changeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and picked up litter in the school yard. Our final Summer Reading day took place Aug. 7, when were

Know the symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder Lifestyle - Only specialists can diagnose attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, commonly known as ADHD. Before any kind of diagnosis, a specialist, such as a psychiatrist, neurologist or pediatrician must first ensure that the hyperactivity is not a manifestation of trauma or any other type of disturbance.

If parents suspect that a child has ADHD, they should be very careful about jumping to conclusions.

Children suffering from ADHD can present different symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity or impulsiveness. â&#x20AC;˘ Inattention: children cannot stay focused on what they are doing; they are easSUBMITTED ily distracted, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t jump to conclusions if your child seems hyperactive.

Helping with homework: A few tips for parents of teenagers Lifestyle - Some experts believe it is a mistake for parents to think that their teenagers, no matter what their age, are old enough to take complete responsibility for their school obligations all by themselves.

Even the most independent teenagers sometimes need to be encouraged to stay motivated. Your role as a parent is crucial during all of your children’s school years.

Take an interest in what they do.

Take the time to talk to them every day in order to know how their day went, what subjects were taught, and what they liked or disliked.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions, and be attentive to their answers. The goal is to let your teenagers know that you are truly interested in their lives.

If their school results are not what you’d hoped for, don’t go on and on about their weak points.

Congratulate them on their efforts and help them find solutions to their problems.

On the other hand, if they never seem to have any homework, it may be a sign that they are lacking confidence or commitment.

Discuss this with them, check their agendas, and don’t hesitate to contact their school for more information.

Remember that while your child is living at home, you are still their par-

ent and it is reasonable to ask for a minimal commitment from them.

must learn include establishing good work habits, managing time, submitting work according to deadlines, balancing study time and relaxation time, and preparing for exams. You are their best ally in the acquisition of these skills.

Lastly, keep a careful eye on their life habits: the good management of diet, sleep, and extracurricular activities are decisive factors in your child’s educational success.

LEARNING

Encourage learning by creating a stimulating and positive atmosphere at home. Set up a work area in a quiet, well-lit room. Apart from providing an organized home office area, parents can also help their teenagers get organized. Skills that your children

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all unite to eradicate bullying in our schools of an undesirable nature.

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

Lifestyle - According to the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, at least one Canadian teenager out of three can tell stories about what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a student, parent, or educator, you have a role to play in putting an end to bullying.

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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and only one case is too many â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all unite to eradicate bullying.

Are you, or one of your friends, a victim of bullying?

Is your child a victim, or perhaps even the bully?

Several resources are available to you, including Kids Help Phone at 1-800-668-6868 or www.kidshelpphone.ca.

TYPES OF BULLYING

SUBMITTED

Victim or witness: nowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the time to act.

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

RUNNING SHOES

Growing children need good quality sports shoes to keep their feet healthy.

Even though leather remains a big favourite because of its durability, lots of running shoes made with synthetic materials combine ďŹ&#x201A;exibility, lightness, and resilience.

Choose shoes with foam soles for extra comfort.

Lifestyle - We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t escape the fact that a new school year is synonymous with the inevitable trips to the store to get everything that the children need.

Of course you should always try a keep to your budget, but for some essential items quality should always be your priority.

Children and the Web

A few traps to avoid veals their age. They should never, ever accept an invitation from someone who asks them not to talk about it to other people.

Parents must also make their children aware of the consequences of one of the most dangerous activities on the Web – the posting of sexy or suggestive photos.

Once on the Internet, these images can circulate nonstop, long into the future. This issue has caused plenty of grief for many a young woman.

Parents must discuss with their children the risks and the traps to avoid.

Sitting in front of a computer screen seems to protect and isolate us, but the Internet

is a window into the world at large.

The golden rule is to never do on the Web what you wouldn’t dare do on the street.

Because of this, careful supervision is vital.

In fact, it is recommended to set up the computer in a communal area of the home so that parents can keep an attentive eye on the use their children make of it.

If parents believe that their child is the victim of entrapment or bullying, they should be aware that they do have recourse against this type of criminal activity.

Record and print any conversations and contact your local police immediately.

How to live with your teenager’s latest look Lifestyle - 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 before setting out.

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

Lifestyle - The start of a new school year is always a good opportunity to remind children about a few safety rules: don’t talk to strangers, cross the road at intersections and stay on the sidewalks.

However, in this era of the Internet, another important element should never be forgotten: Internet safety.

Even though computers, tablets and smart phones are great for staying in touch or for doing school work, the fact remains that danger lurks on the Internet, including cyberbullying and cyber predators.

Prudence is just as necessary on the Web as it is elsewhere.

First of all, children should never use a nickname that re-

HERITAGE

Connected to your community

The year gave some hope during the Dirty Thirties Lifestyle - It seemed to me we lived in a constant state of anxiousness. Mother and Father so often wore worried looks that sent a pall over the entire household.

The egg money in the blue sugar bowl never seemed to be enough to cover our needs.

Frivolity, like a few slices of bologna from Briscoe’s General Store, or a package of Cracker Jacks after our Saturday peddling of Mother’s wares in Renfrew, was out of the question.

And then, one summer, everything changed.

It was almost like someone had lifted a roller blind in a darkened room, letting in sunshine. And it didn’t happened suddenly, but it came as the summer wore on.

The season started out like any other. Father planted the fields, Mother raised hens from chickens, packets of seeds arrived in the mail and were planted. But that year, as Spring rolled into Summer, I knew in my heart, that year things were going to be different.

For one thing, there were no frosty days or nights to kill what had been planted.

But one season blended into the other, as if by some magic plan, there was nothing to halt the natural growth in the fields and in the ample garden.

And that year there were no heavy rains to flood the seedlings, or leave big pools of water in the low lying fields.

The rain came as often as was needed.

Soft wonderful rain, and often, as if led by some outside hand, during the warm nights, so that Father was able to spend the days tending to the crops.

The rain barrels, empty at night, sitting at the corners of the back of the old log house, would be filled in the mornings from the runoff of the eaves as we slept in our beds.

Wonderful soft rain water which Mother put to good use.

And that year there was no drought.

Gone were the cracks in the soil at our back stoop that in other years we saw after

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

weeks of a dry spell. Parched ground, crumbling under our bare feet, and burning the soles. That year, when everything seemed to change, the ground was moist to the touch.

And I would see Father walk the back fields.

After the morning chores, and often after supper, he would go over to the West Hill, cross the Bonnechere and look ... just look ... and he would come back to the house, and I could see a spring in his step that in other years was so often missing.

Sometimes I would go with him.

Father, not one to talk idly, we would walk in silence. And I would watch him stop at the alfalfa field, and pull at a few stacks, and rub them between the palms of his hands.

The Buckwheat field, the last to be planted, was already starting to turn to a golden brown.

To me it looked like a large velvet carpet.

I was too young to know why we planted certain grains or crops, but I knew, if they thrived, we would be saved for another year on the farm in Northcote. I was old enough to know that.

The hay was being cut, and stalks dotting the fields, and many loads had already been taken to the barn and hoisted up into the loft.

Unlike some of the farmer’s hay fields in Northcote, there were no fancy bales in our fields, just hand-piled hay, gathered with a pitchfork.

The smell of the newly mowed hay filled my nostrils, and I often went into the barn and climbed the little ladder just to look at the hay mound, and I would be filled with contentment, knowing our livestock would be well fed over the coming winter.

Our barn yard held fat

cows, sheep shorn of their wool, pigs contentedly rolling in the dirt.

And I knew our smoke house would be filled to take us through the long winter months ahead.

Mother’s garden that year, seemed to be spared the onslaught of crows and wild animals that often had their fill of the vegetables she had planted.

For reasons unknown, our garden overflowed with produce ... much to be peddled in Renfrew, and much to be canned in glass sealers to give us an ample table over the winter.

And that year, the lone apple tree behind our house, had sprouted a wild crop, and already we had our fill of pies, crisps, and apple sauce.

Already, the shelves in the crawl space under the house that served as a root cellar and a place to store Mother’s preserves and pickles were filled with jars of raspberries and chokecherry jam.

And so that year, the pall of anxiety that usually filled our house, was gone.

We sang joyously at night before we went to bed with Mother on her mouth organ.

Father still fell asleep in the rocking chair with the Family Herald and Weekly Star spread out on his knee, but I thought the lines in his face were lessened ... still bone-tired was he, but with a look of contentment on his sleeping face.

It was the only year I remember when the Depression wasn’t choking the blood out of our veins. All around us was the miracle of life.

It would be replaced, as sure as death and taxes, the next year with the struggle for survival that marked that time in life, when every day was a challenge.

But that year alone, there was hope that we would last to see another year of that era ... known as the Dirty Thirties.

Thank you for the generous donations to various hospitals and care facilities marking this occasion as well as personal gifts, and cards.

CARD OF THANKS

Card of Thanks Jack Brez Our family would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who attended the Memorial Service for Jack.

It was overwhelming to see so many people come together to give him such a beautiful ending to a life well lived.

Thank you for all the cards, food, donations and moral support during this difficult time. We would like to extend our gratitude to the members of the West Carleton Response Team, Paramedics and the Police for always being so prompt and supportive when responding to our calls over the years.

It is reassuring to know that we live in such a caring community. Special thanks to Dr. Earl Gordon and all the wonderful staff of ADMH, and the CCAC workers who cared for Dad. Our family wants to thank Rev. Mark Arnill, Rev. Jack Lougheed, Rick Leben and the UCW Ladies of St. Andrews United Church for all your preparations for the service and luncheon.

Edith & Family

CLR462122

Thank You We wish to thank everyone for their support before and during Scott Anglin’s devastating illness. Especially the “Bros” who taught skiing at Mt. Pakenham in the 1980’s and remained loyal friends, as did the “Bros” who lived together on McGonigal Street. Thanks to Scott’s life-long friends, including those in White Lake, friends in the music groups, “Skunk Hip Soup” and “Mud Hens”. We also want to thank his many biker friends, for riding to the visitation and for their escort after the memorial service to the reception.

Being a creative person, The Gallery Gift Shop owners were please to sell his creations. We are aware that friends and colleagues have been missed. This is unintentional and therefore we decided not to mention names - you know who you are, and we thank you for being there for him, and us. Being very much a “people person” everywhere Scott went he knew someone, and they knew him.

Thank you for your floral tributes, food, condolences and for your generous donations to Arnprior Partners in Caring Foundation, ADMH, and Cancer Society. Special thanks go to Dr. J. Becker, also Dr. A. Gutauskas, and Dr. A. Suzuki. All doctors, nurses, and staff were compassionate and caring during his brief hospital stay as were Emergency Room doctors and nurses. We also wish to thank doctors and assistants at The Queensway Carleton-Irving Greenberg Cancer Center.

Andre Pilon and staff at Pilon Family Funeral Home were sympathetic and of great assistance during the visitation and memorial service and after this heartbreaking time.

Again with our thanks, Helen and Ron CLR461527
