News – The pilot project that eliminated parking meters from Renfrew’s downtown core is over. The project, which began in July 2012, was judged so successful that town council has voted to permanently discontinue the meters. The unanimous vote came at Renfrew council’s June 24 meeting. Parking meter poles, which remain in some area parking lots, will be cut off and sealed, as the town continues its contract with Municipal Law Enforcement Services. MLES overseas other infractions, such as parking for more than three hours, parking too close to corners and parking in the wrong direction. Over the past year, over-parking infractions have been scarce, with about two dozen tickets issued, or
an average of about two per month. The town’s new enforcement system was recently linked to the Provincial Offences Act, which prevents drivers from renewing their driver’s licence if fines remain unpaid. Over the past year, treasurer Keray O’Reilly says the town has basically broken even, following the collection of fines and the town’s payment for MLES’s service fees. In recommending that parking meters remain inactive downtown, the finance committee noted that software upgrades to parking meters to accommodate new coinage would be expensive, at about $5,000. Also, replacement parts are no longer available for the meters, so they would have to be replaced at a cost of about $1,100 per doublehead meter. Lastly, but not least, to at least break even it was determined the value of fines would have to increase. See METERS, page 4

County reverses position to spend money on railway bed acquisition steve.newman@metroland.com
News - Renfrew’s County pledge to not spend municipal dollars for any purchase of the abandoned Canadian Pacific railway bed won’t be realized. Following discussion June 26 in county council chambers, 13 of 17 county councillors were present to vote on whether to spend up to $50,000 for a property value appraisal to be conducted for Renfrew County, Lanark County and the Township of Papineau-Cameron. Those are the three regions through which the nearly 190mile railway bed runs. Most of the rail bed’s equipment was salvaged last year, ex-
cept for signal equipment which will be collected at a later date. Ten of 13 voting county councillors supported the resolution, for a weighted vote of 110 to 23. Opposing the motion were Harold Weckworth of North Algona Wilberforce, Mary Campbell of McNab-Braeside, and Tammy-Lea Stewart of Head, Clara and Maria who said her municipality had already voted to not provide municipal money for rail bed acquisition. The 10 supportive county councillors included Bob Sweet of Petawawa who sits on the committee that is negotiating with Canadian Pacific. The resolution called for county council to approve a
maximum of $50,000 for appraisal and seed money in support of an anticipated government grant. Sweet indicated the county’s portion of any appraisal would be about $10,000 if the county receives anticipated government grant assistance. A similar resolution will have to be passed by Lanark County and the Township of PapineauCameron if the appraisal is to be conducted. Based on mileage through their respective municipalities, Renfrew County would be responsible for about 70 per cent of the appraisal’s entire cost. That cost is expected to be about $50,000. With a government grant, the county’s portion would be closer to $10,000, said Sweet.
The eventual purchase price of the railway bed would not cost real tax dollars. “It’s no secret that we hope to be able to provide a tax receipt for purchase,” said Sweet, knowing the county did that to purchase the former Canadian Tire building in Renfrew to create Renfrew County Place. That property was appraised at about $2 million. Before the county council vote, Sweet said, “If we cannot go forward with this, I would think the CP rail negotiations would be finished.” Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack said support of the resolution was absolutely necessary if Renfrew County is to be considered a serious buyer of the dis-

tle. It has already killed millions of ash trees in Ontario, Quebec and the United States, and poses a major economic and environmental threat to urban and forested areas of North America. On April 1, 2014, the agency will consolidate most of the regulated areas into one large area in Ontario and Quebec. This large area will include Highways 400, 401, 416 and 417 in Ontario and Highways 15, 20, 40 and 50 in Quebec. The approach takes into account the CFIA’s current understanding of the distribution of EAB and will more effectively slow the spread of this pest to other parts of these provinces and to the rest of Canada. For more information on this decision, refer to The Pest Risk Management Document - Regulated Areas for Emerald Ash Borer. The agency promises to continue its surveillance, regulatory, enforcement and communications activities across Canada, but a strong focus will be placed on the outer edge of the large consolidated area, where EAB has not currently been detected. The remainder of 2013 will be a transition to this new approach, it explains in a news release. Also, as part of the longterm strategy to manage EAB, the CFIA has approved the release of two stingless wasps as new biological control agents to combat the spread of EAB. One wasp that has been released in limited areas in southwestern Ontario by Natural Resources

EAB can spread rapidly if it is moved by people, warns the CFIA. “The public can play a key part in helping to control the spread of EAB by not moving potentially infested materials such as firewood or any ash materials, llike logs, branches, nursery stock, chips or other ash wood.” The CFIA continues to work with federal, provincial and municipal governments towards slowing the spread of EAB. “We all have a responsibility to protect Canada’s forests.” Additional information is available on the CFIA website of www.inspection.gc.ca/pests or by calling 1-866-463-6013.

News – Larry Chateauvert wants to save his eight ash trees. So the Arnprior resident has brought in Trillium Tree Services to treat the trees against an invasion by the emerald ash borer (EAB). Arnprior Mayor David Reid and Coun. Ted Strike, who has two ash trees of his own, joined Chateauvert on his Elgin Street property June 24 to watch as Chris McIntyre and Devin Cobold of Trillium inserted canisters of a pesticide into the base of the trees in an attempt to protect them from the pest that is threatening to kill all ash trees in Eastern Ontario. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has confirmed that the ash borer has been detected in Arnprior ash trees, including one of Chateauvert’s trees. Chateauvert is worried the borer could cause major problems in Gillies Grove, which has a large number of white and black ash trees. The town has indicated it will do an inventory of trees to determine how many are in town. However, it’s not expected there will be as many as in Ottawa, where about 30 per cent of the trees are ash. McIntyre explained that the borer attacks all ash trees except mountain ash. Treatment can protect the tree and may be able to save it, but
there are no guarantees he said. Chateauvert said the $1,000plus he is spending is worth it, considering the cost of removing his trees if they are killed by the borer. McIntyre said people should look of a thinning of their ash tree’s crown, bark discolouration and increases in sucker gowth as indications the borer is at work. The move of the borer into Renfrew County will likely mean quarantines of wood movement in and out of the area. The CFIA also confirmed the borer, which is devastating ash trees in Ottawa, has also spread to Northumberland County, Cornwall and South Mountain. The move to Arnprior was expected because the pest has been found in Fitzroy Harbour. The CIFIA has announced that movement restrictions, which prohibit the movement of all ash materials — such as logs, branches and wood chips — and all species of firewood from the affected site, will be put in place. Owners of the affected properties will be notified of the restrictions. Further regulatory measures will be considered once all survey work has been completed for the year. The presence of EAB has now been confirmed in 30 Ontario counties, and in seven areas in the province of Quebec. The CFIA explains that the EAB is a highly destructive bee-
continued railway bed. McNab-Braeside Mayor Campbell questioned the logic in pledging up to $50,000, to which Sweet said this was a contingency, in the event a government grant did not materialize. Weckworth expressed concern about the cost of underlying infrastructure, such as bridges and cul-

Recreation director with Renfrew connections Meters Continued from front
Of the 50 applicants for the Renfrew position, a shortlist of six was created, from which Hill, 45, emerged as the successful candidate. He’s scheduled to start work July 15. Kingston resident Barclay Mayhew, who was seconded to serve as the part-time recreation director, will stay on for a brief transition period. Mayhew began working with the town in late 2011. “We wanted someone to be able to walk in and take over, as opposed to having someone who had to be trained for a while,” said councillor and recreation committee chairman Jim Miller at Renfrew council’s June 24 meeting. Miller also chaired the selection committee, which included Tom Anderson, Mike Asselin and Keray O’Reilly. timberwolves
Hill laughs about his playing days with the Timberwolves. He says he wasn’t that good a player but the former defenceman easily remembers Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre personnel, as he rhymes off such crew members’ names as Randy (Pender), Bernie (Sul), Mickey (Brydges) and Donny (Logan). “There was no career in hockey, so I pursued the recreation profession,” said Hill.
After graduating from Durham College’s sports administration program, he began his career as the Arnprior pool program co-ordinator in the late 1980s. He moved to Napanee in 1997, where he was the recreation director until 2012. In introducing Hill to council and senior staff, treasurer O’Reilly said the new recreation director has a wealth of experience and knowledge and his presence in Renfrew will be much appreciated. “What attracted me to the job was returning to Renfrew,” said Hill. “Having worked in the Town of Arnprior for almost 10 years, I love the Valley. “I think the Valley is a great place to be and a great place to call home, and I’m looking forward to the many challenges.” Hill said he’s looking forward to working with the citizens, staff and council “to do my part in making Renfrew the best place it can be” so people can enjoy living here and participating in recreational activities. He and wife Wendy (who grew up in Griffith) have a daughter who is headed to the University of Ottawa this fall and a teenage son. Hill, who enjoys fishing, hunting and four-wheeling, is also a certified instructor of recreation programs for the Ontario Recreation Facilities Association.
Blimkie and BIA past chairman Lisa Vincent to town council recommended the main street remain free of parking meters. “The BIA has conducted a variety of informal studies through Facebook and over-the-counter inquiries of our patrons,” they wrote. “At this point, nearly one year after the removal of the parking maters we have found that there has actually been no negative feedback whatsoever. Customers are, in fact, consistently remarking on the availability of parking spaces and that they can now enjoy a combined shopping/dining experience within the allotted three hours.” Vincent and Blimkie also wrote: “The removal of the parking meters has definitely had a positive impact on business and has made Renfrew business owners competitive with the adjacent towns and the larger box stores.”
Continued from front
Over the 11-month period of July 2012 to May 2013, Renfrew parking fines totalled $41,290, while 72.9 per cent of those fines, or $30,090, was collected. That compares to collection rates of 39 per cent (or $8,565) in 2010 and 33 per cent (or $10,161) in 2011. 2012 pilot project
The pilot project began at the request of the Renfrew Business Improvement Area, whose membership consists of downtown business owners. Based on the BIA’s research and survey results, the parking meters were identified as the No. 1 barrier to business and a deterrent to customer traffic. A June 13, 2013 letter from BIA chairman Mel

County lends helping hand in battle against ash-borer News - Members of the Renfrew County forestry department are working with research scientist Dr. Krista Ryall of Natural Resources Canada in efforts to halt or slow the invasion of the emerald ash borer. “The number-one thing that will kill the emerald ash borer is Mother Nature,” said Jeff Muzzi, the manager of forestry and trails for Renfrew County. “The whole goal is to slow the spread until Mother Nature or science can take over. We don’t know if we can stop it, but if we can slow it down, maybe we can find solutions before it spreads too far.” Since March 2013 the researcher and staff with NRCan’s Canadian Forest Service department have been doing research in Renfrew County in efforts to identify potential natural enemies of the invasive and devastating beetle. The emerald ash borer has already been identified as
One of the research group’s sticky traps, wrapped in Saran wrap on a Renfrew County tree. reaching the southern end of Renfrew County, in Arnprior. Dr. Ryall is conducting research on about 20 sections of Renfrew County forestry tracts located in areas where the forest cover ranges from four to 94 percent. The research involves using sticky traps on native trees within each stand to identify potential natural enemies that will begin to feed upon emerald ash borer when it arrives. Emerald ash borer basically kills 99 per cent of all ash trees. It has killed mil-
lions of trees,” says Dr. Ryall of its devastating impact on trees in the United States and Canada. It has reached Quebec and Ontario, and is found in numerous American states, including as far west as Minnesota and Kansas. EAB is thought to have arrived in North America in the early 1990s, but its presence wasn’t detected until the early 2000s, says Ryall, who works at the Great Lakes Forestry Centre in Sault Ste-Marie. Research done in southwestern Ontario says eventually some native natural enemy beetles will use the Emerald Ash Borer as a host (i.e., food), but it takes a long time to find them. By bringing her research to Renfrew County, Ryall says. “We’re looking for areas with more forest habitat, with the theory that there should be more natural enemies, compared to very fragmented landscapes where the emerald ash borer has been, like southwestern Ontario where there is limited forest cover,” she says.

News - Ken Becking, John MacKay, Dave Darch and now, who knows. Renfrew County’s current director of public works and engineering is Darch, who joined the county staff in 2007. He succeeded McKay, who left for a job in western Canada after working for the county in 2006 and 2007, while MacKay’s predecessor was Becking, who was on the job more than a dozen years. Darch, who divides home between Ottawa and the Foymount area, submitted a letter of resignation to Renfrew County chief administrative officer Jim Hutton last month. Hutton brought the issue forward at the June 26 meeting of county council. Darch’s resignation will be effective Dec. 31, 2013, but by late summer Hutton says county staff will look at whether to fill the vacancy internally or externally. “Dave’s dedication and commitment to the County of Renfrew have been remarkable, for everything from mailbox policy to bridge policy to procurement policy to Expo 150,” said Hutton. “I’ve been in the work place for 45 years and I have a lot of interests, and my wife and I have a lot of things to do,” said Darch, 67, whose wife JoAnne Poirier is the CEO for Ottawa
Community Housing. Darch’s lengthy career began with the City of Ottawa in 1968. He went on to work for the Regional Municipality of OttawaCarleton, the City of Nepean, the City of Gloucester, Dillon Consulting and Renfrew County. “The county’s been a good spot for me,” said Darch, 67. “Most of my previous work was in an urban setting, so this has been a nice

Council halves hospital’s financial security deposit for expansion Steve Newman
steve.newmanmetroland.com
Renfrew council has turned down Renfrew Victoria Hospital’s request to waive municipal costs and financial requirements associated with the hospital’s new expansion project. The project’s fees — related to parking expansion and construction of the new, two-storey dialysis centre — includes site-plan application fees, site-plan agreement financial securities, building and demolition permit fees, development charges, and
landfill site charges. Upon review of the request, the Renfrew finance committee recommended that the hospital be given a 50 per cent discount on the financial security required for site works. The estimated cost of site works is $804,640 (excluding building costs), but the 50 per cent recommendation reduces that to $402,320. These securities are typically provided as a performance bond through an insurance company or as a line of credit from a chartered bank. The town’s only precedent for this was the 50 per cent reduction offered George Jack-

son Toyota, says town treasurer Keray O’Reilly. George Jackson Toyota balked on that offer and ended up relocating from Renfrew to the Township of Horton a few years ago. Council also supported finance committee’s recommendation to not waive related fees, namely an undetermined amount of landfill tipping fees, $46,566 in development charges, and building permit costs of $67,912. Tipping fees are currently $80 per tonne for sorted waste and $150 per tonne for unsorted waste. This would be for two homes and other construction waste.
News - The railway line has gone, and along with it at least one unpaid invoice. Renfrew council formally approved the write-off of an outstanding account of $32,550.92 from Ottawa Valley Railway, which declared bankruptcy in 2012. OVR’s unpaid bill of $32,550.92 represented 3.1 per cent of the cost of a reconstruction job of over $1 million at Gillan Road and O’Brien Road. This included
work on the railway crossing and signal equipment. OVR was billed in 2008 for the work done in 2006 and 2007, but never paid, despite pressure from Transport Canada. Other organizations billed for work on the cost-shared project were Transport Canada, the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) and the County of Renfrew. They all paid their bills, including MTO, which was responsible
for 41 per cent of the bill. The town deemed OVR’s account “doubtful” in 2012 and included it as an expense in its 2012 year-end financial statements. However, the town’s net loss is only $8,931.83. This is because Renfrew withheld paying a 2008 invoice of $23,619.09 from the Ottawa Valley Railway for railway-crossing maintenance work. Salvage of equipment on the railway line, which runs through Renfrew and across the county, was virtually completed last year.

Ryan’s Legacy: a tale of love and healing lucy.hass@metroland,com
Arts - When Admaston-Bromley resident Judy Cressman’s son Ryan died Nov. 30, 2009, she felt like she wanted to die. Today, her healing journey has led her to a place of comfort where she believes she will one day see her son again. Ryan, who attended Renfrew Collegiate Institute, was only 31 years old when he died of cancer. Written under Cressman’s maiden and pen name J.J. Southwell, Ryan’s Legacy – How to Survive the Loss of Your Loved One, is the compelling tale of a mother’s love and the lessons she learned dealing with her son’s untimely death. “You do not get over your loss, but you work through it,� says Cressman. She hopes her book will present some ideas that help other people going through the loss of a loved one. “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change,� she says. Outlook is everything, and she believes the world is filled with positive energy that people can tap into to lead a happier life. Those sources range from angels, crystals and meditation to hobbies, family and prayer. The retired elementary school principal believes loved ones remain close to us, even after death, and the signs are all around us if we practice awareness and are open to the signs from beyond. “There are no coincidences. Be open to the signs,� she advises. After her son’s death, Cressman discovered a dragonfly symbol on his computer. It has become the sign through which they communicate.
The book recounts numerous incidences which brought comfort to Cressman in recent years. It also features special chapters written by Ryan’s brothers, Derek and Jon. Primarily, the book conveys the knowledge and messages Cressman has gained through visits through psychic mediums, a shamanic practitioner, and tarot-card and tea-leaf reader. “The whole book started out as a journal,â€? says Cressman, who finished the handwritten version of the journal last summer and prepared it for self-publication this past winter. Aside from writing, she has also been a voracious reader on various subjects related to the afterlife (Heaven), reincarnation and past lives. Cressman has a B.A. in psychology and a master’s degree in education. Since Ryan’s death, Cressman has read 120 books and trained to be a Reiki master and teacher. She now hopes to pursue study of another fascinating subject matter, intuition. Ryan’s Legacy – How to Survive the Loss of Your Loved One is available at local bookstores and on Amazon, through Barnes and Noble in hardcover, softcover and e-book. This week Cressman, who is originally from Almonte but lives just outside Renfrew with her husband Bob, embarks on a Valley book-signing tour. Following are the dates and locations: • Friday, July 5 from 1 to 3 p.m. at Soul Sense in Almonte; • Saturday, July 6 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at The Arnprior Book Store; • Saturday, July 13 from 1 to 3 p.m. at A Sense of Country in Renfrew; • Saturday, July 20 from 1 to 3 p.m. at The Book Nook in Perth; • Saturday, July 20 from 2 to 4 p.m. at Read’s Book Shop in Carleton Place; and • Arlie’s in Smiths Falls in the fall.

Floods come with a warning Opinion – We hate to be a broken record, but the extreme weather we’ve been having is sending us a warning. The latest weather assault, the flash flooding that took Calgary and its neighbours, especially High River, by surprise, was just the latest in a series of indications that our climate is changing. A number of experts have come out in the past week warning us that global warming is threatening our lifestyle, our economy and even our lives. We’ve had floods before, particularly in British Columbia and Manitoba, but this runoff in Alberta has taken it to new heights. Add in the increasing regularity of tornadoes, windbursts, thunder and lightning storms, wilder hurricanes and ice storms, and you have an obvious trend. Renfrew County certainly isn’t exempt, hav-
ing suffered microburst damage in Calabogie and area last year and the destructive flooding at Sand Point a couple of years ago. However, federal officials continue to blindly trumpet the party line that these are only isolated events and that we shouldn’t worry ourselves Global warming and the shrinking ozone layer is no concern, they suggest. Tell that to the High River residents who have lost their homes. Tell that to the Norway Lake resident who have lost their cottages. Tell that to the Jersey Shores folks who had their homes washed out to sea. We need to come to grips with the fact our weather patterns are changing. If we don’t start taking that into account and respond accordingly, the costs, both in financial and human terms, could become astronomical.

To the editor: Opinion – It has now been one year since the Conservative majority passed the omnibus “budget� bill gutting habitat protections from the Fisheries Act. In the beginning in 2011, the oil industry privately lobbied the government for the loosening of many environmental laws in now-published letters. Then 625 scientists warned in a 2012 pre-budget letter to the government against the weakening of habitat protections. Then there was tabled Bill C-38, an unprecedented 421page text amending 70 different laws all at once, with the content that the oil lobby requested. Then there was Tory refusal to review the bill in the Fisheries and Oceans parliamentary committee, while also voting for time allocation to reduce debate.
Then four former Liberal and Conservative fisheries ministers opposed the fisheries changes. Then Conservative MP David Wilkins was caught on video expressing his private opposition and concern for lacking caucus consultation by government. Then all the Conservatives voted down all 800 proposed opposition amendments. Then the following July 10, many hundreds of scientists held a parliamentary rally against the “death of evidence�. Yet the government still has not ratified those habitat provisions by Order-in-Council. Of course, this is now standard Conservative strategy: rush a contentious package through parliament not proposed in any election, kill debate, and then delay ratification until the opportune secret moment, all after laughably lauding the ever-waiting changes as better than the status-quo – just

like with the now nine-month old corporate bill of rights between the Prime Minister and the world’s most powerful dictatorship in China, sitting in limbo without end. Bill C-38 maintains prohibitions on development directly causing death and “permanent� damage to fish farms, but leaves loopholes for gradual and indirectly-lethal pollution of their waterways. Anyone who thinks threatening fish in this manner to be necessary for prosperous oil development has not been educated about now Norway sustains both its own fisheries and oil exports. But these changes toss aside commercial and recreational fishing livelihoods only for the sake of oil pipeline investors. It is time to send the Harper team a message to keep delaying their evidence-free deregulation – indefinitely. Stefan Klietsch Renfrew

Public board budget focuses on technology work was completed last year with the installation of wireless technology which now covers all 31 schools, the introduction of Bring Your Own Device and the release of the RCDSB website as a central communication tool.� There will be an increase of 136 interactive SMART Boards with related training bringing this student-engaging technology to about 80 per cent of student classrooms. The 20132014 budget will allow the RCDSB to continue building staff and student capacity in school-based technologies through training and support by funding additional system trainers. “All of these investments, and more to come in future budgets, are aimed solely at improving the quality of education for the nearly 9,000 students attending 31 schools in the Renfrew County area,� said Arnprior-McNab-Braeside Trustee Hazelwood.
About 80 per cent of the budget goes to salaries and benefits to help deliver program and services to students. FIGHTING INEQUITIES
Meanwhile RCDSB senior administration will continue to fight the inequities to board students in funding in three major areas: Special Education The Renfrew public and Catholic boards are coterminous boards drawing from the same population boundaries and demographics. The public board receives $205 (46 per cent) less than the Catholic board, per pupil, for High Needs Allocation (HNA) equating to about $2 million less in special education funding for the RCDSB to serve almost the same percentage of students - money that must be redirected from other areas of the budget to service special education students. Remote and Rural
Grant: The RCDSB is perplexed how it does not qualify for this distant funding under the remote and rural grant yet boards south of Renfrew County, located on the 401 Highway, are considered remote and rural and receive this funding. “Why is the RCDSB measured to Ottawa while boards north of us are measured to Toronto and, therefore, qualify for this funding?� Hazelwood said. “We have been asking the Ministry of Education to measure our remote distance from Toronto where we purchase the majority of our goods. This gross inequity in funding results in $2.5 million per year, accumulating to $42 million to date, fewer services for students in Renfrew County.� Tr a n s p o r t a t i o n : While the RCDSB has saved millions of dollars by working with the coterminous Catholic board for 40 years and
sharing transportation and implementing the staggered bells system, the RCDSB is still forced to cover a transportation deficit by diverting funds from other areas of the budget. “The ministry has made efforts to reform the transportation funding model over the past 15 years. “However we still continue to struggle with balancing this area of the budget and seek concrete solutions from the ministry to fund transportation appropriately with a view to stabilization and standardization,� said Hazelwood. RCDSB Chair David Kaiser was impressed by the budget committee’s hard work on a monumental task. “We are fortunate to be passing a balanced budget with minimal negative impact to our programs for the 20132014 school year,� the chair said. “Hats off to our budget committee.�

News - This springs discovery of Genetically Engineered (GE) winter wheat on an Oregon Farm is a lesson for all local Renfrew County Farmers, reports Tim Tabbert, Vice-President of the Renfrew County National Farmers Union. On the same note only two months ago local farmers and consumers lobbied our federal Minister of Agriculture and AgriFood not to approve GM Alfalfa seed for sale in Canada. The Oregon story couldn’t come at a better time. What happened in Oregon? Genetically engineered (GE) winter wheat was found in the U.S.A. this spring when an Oregon farmer noticed volunteer wheat that survived after he sprayed with glyphosate (Roundup) in preparation for this spring seeding. Recently, the USDA confirmed that it is Monsanto’s Roundup Ready Wheat, which has not been approved in the U.S.A. or anywhere else in the world. The GE wheat was tested in experimental field plots in 16 states between 1998 and 2005. The last test in Oregon was in 2001. It is highly unlikely that this particular U.S. contamination problem has spread to Canada because of our strict rules around importation of seed, however, it is both a warning and a lesson for Canada’s regulatory system.� Monsanto was allowed to do field testing of Roundup Ready wheat in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba from 1998 until 2004. It was only after intense pressure from farmers that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency tightened up the GE wheat testing protocol to somewhat
reduce the risk of contamination. American wheat farmers are now very worried about losing export markets and suffering price discounts as a result of this confirmed contamination incident. If this happens, their losses could be enormous. Consider the liability issues. Why is a biotech company such as Monsanto allowed to get away with setting loose their unapproved genetic material via experimental field tests and yet pay none of the consequences when it escapes? The market impacts of contamination are always borne by farmers who had no say in whether, how, or where these field tests took place. This is an injustice and it is not acceptable. And that was the same reason the pending introduction of GM Alfalfa in Canada was brought to everyone’s attention this past spring. Canada’s legal system does not address GE contamination liability matters, nor does the regulatory system consider the market impacts of genetically engineered crops or the effects of contamination on farmers who choose not to grow them. Canada should not allow any new GE crops – such as Roundup Ready Alfalfa – to be field tested, approved or sold until the regulatory system is revamped to take both market issues and contamination risks seriously. Tabbert summarized, with respect to GM Alfalfa; as Renfrew County Farmers, we should seriously take a page out of the Oregon GM Wheat incident. At this time we know that because of the pressures farmers and consumers placed on Forage Genetics International (FGI) the company that Monsanto has licenced to use its

Millar headed to Mozambique with Canada World Youth Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com
News – William Millar has been as far from home at the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Europe and Antarctica, but his next step is also into new territory. Millar, 22, is scheduled to fly in mid-July to the African country of Mozambique for the first half of a six-month expedition with Canada World Youth. His commitment includes raising $3,200, so he’s asking family members, friends, former teachers and others for financial assistance. He’s directing potential donors to the CWY website and preparing for his newest overseas experience. Millar, who just graduated with an aquatic resources degree from St. Francis Xavier University where he
focused on aquatic resources, pubic relations and social research studies for his inter-disciplinary degree. He also anticipates doing a master’s degree in marine ecology or environmental law. But first he’ll spend time on sustainable-development and educational projects, both in Mozambique and in Duncan, B.C., with projects such as eroded shoreline restoration. In Duncan, which is nicknamed the City of Totems because of its 80 totem poles, the group of nine Africans and nine Canadians will stay with members of the Cowichan tribe on Vancouver Island. In Mozambique, where civil war finally ended in the early 1990s, the group will live with locals in Nampula in the northern end of the country. In both countries, the CWP participants will spend three days a week
William Beanish working with the national youth association (AGUDE), one day on community activities, an educational day and down-time with local families.
Community activities may include tutoring French and English to students, setting up sports tournaments, building toilets and doing presentations on HIV awareness. Millar, who speaks some French and Spanish, is also learning to speak Portuguese, the main language of Mozambique. Signing up for this Canada World Youth experience, says Millar, represents an opportunity. “I feel I have a responsibility to help others,” he explains. “I really want young people to read this (article) because it’s such an eyeopening experience (to go to another country). It gives people an appreciation for what we have back here in the Western World. It gets people out of their bubble …. It makes you appreciate your own culture and other people’s cultures.
“I’d rather be helping others while I’m teaching and learning myself ... A big stress by Canada World Youth is that it’s service-learning. Through doing you become a new person. It’s time to take my thoughts and ideas and finally put them into action, and see if this is something I want to do.” Meanwhile, Millar’s only sibling, Christopher, is already overseas. He’s doing a master’s degree in European political affairs at Scotland’s University of Edinburgh, but will return this fall for an internship on Ottawa’s Parliament Hill.

Trans Canada proposes transforming local line from oil to gas John Carter john.carter@metroland.com
News – One of the gas pipelines going through Renfrew county could soon be transformed into an oil pipeline. Three representatives of TransCanada Corp attended
McNab-Braeside council recently to give councillors a heads-up that the change is in the works. The company is proposing to switch the newest of the two gas pipelines going through the area to oil. Alain Parise explained that
the gas line is being underutilized, but there is a demand for more oil for refineries in Ontario and the Maritimes. Transforming the gas pipeline would be much less disruptive than building a new one, he noted. “We’re very excited about

this project,” he told council. “But we’re not sure if it will go ahead yet. He explained that enough customers for the oil have to come forward and sign contracts to make it feasible. The project, which won’t be completed until 2017 if approved, would include completing a pipeline from Alberta and Saskatchewan to Ontario with an extension to Quebec and the East Coast. If fully realized, the huge $5-billion pipeline project could mean between 500,000 to 800,000 barrels of crude oil a day would be going through Renfrew County and the township. The company needs demand for a minimum 500,000 barrels to go ahead. The pipeline in question comes down the Ottawa Valley from Pembroke, crosses Highway 17 in the Goshen area, runs south of the McNab-Braeside office and then through to the Pakenham area into the Richmond area of Ottawa and down to Iroquois. Parise, a top company official from Calgary, is leading the campaign to inform local officials about the plans. He was accompanied at the presentation to McNab-Braeside council by TransCanada’s community relations lead Jon Pitcher of Calgary and Ottawa based community relations officer Nathalie Guay. They are in the process of meeting with several other municipalities along the route, as well as Renfrew and Lanark county officials. “It’s an enormous undertaking,” Parise told council. He said that the common perception that the pipeline is only serving the Alberta Oilsands is not true. It will be bringing oil from various oil wells from the Prai-
ries as well, he said. The refineries in the East on the pipeline route, including those in Montreal, Quebec City and St. John, tend to need the lighter oil that comes from the more traditional sources, he added. He said the new 3,000-kmlong pipeline will relieve the Eastern refineries’ dependence on imported oil from Algeria and the Middle East with Canadian oil. In response to a question from Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie, he noted that the pipeline might also mean Canada could export some oil to the Eastern U.S. CHEAPER OIL FOR REGION?
Coun. Bob Campbell asked if the pipeline would translate into cheaper oil in this area. Parise responded that it would make sense that Canadian oil should be cheaper than imported oil, but prices depend on a number of variables. He explained that the company hopes to have an application finalized by the end of this year for presentation to the National Energy Board. The following environmental and other assessments for a project of this size will likely take at least two years, he said, adding he expected a decision in 18 to 24 months. “Our goal is to cause as little disturbance to the environment as possible,” he said. Construction, which would mean some local jobs, would take place in 2016-17, Parise said. “We do our best to hire locally … but there are some specific needs for some of the jobs,” he said. He said the company projects the pipeline would reach Quebec City by the end of
2017 and St. John a year later. The pipeline will feature pump stations about every 5060 kilometres (instead of 100 km for gas). The company will be consulting with municipalities where it places the stations, he said. However, with one in Pembroke, there might not be another one until Stittsville, he added. “But we’ll let you know if one is going to be built in your township.” Parise said the company has converted gas pipelines to oil before with no major problems. Asked why the switch when there has been a push to move from oil to gas energy, Parise explained that new gas finds by the U.S. in the East has limited the need for gas in this half of the continent. “If not for this (move to oil), we might have to decommission one of the lines,” he said. That wouldn’t be good news for local municipalities who earn “significant” property taxes from the pipeline going through their property, he noted. Parise said TransCanada takes its relationships with local residents, municipalities and First Nations seriously and that it is why a 40-member team is doing its outreach well in advance of the project work. “Everything to be submitted will be on the public record,” he promised. The only work likely this year would be some digs at some specific sites to assess the line. If the project gets the green light, the company will be holding open houses and information sessions prior to any major work.

Plantastic Tour raises funds for Hospice Renfrew This Ukrainian country garden, nicknamed Carver’s Garden, has been a work in progress for the past 30 years. It used to be a hay field filled with ungovernable blue clay. That is until Frankie Juby tamed it with love and persistence. She stands proudly among the drought-resistant plants.
The Stone Fence Theatre production of Bonnechere River: Future Tense will be presented twice at the Renfrew Art in the Park celebration.
General Store Publishing has donated 13 books for storytelling as door prizes. crepes for sale
Food and drink will also be available at the festival, including The Belgian Creperie. The booth was inspired by artist Kevin Dodds’ mother who has been making this recipe for years. “It’s been a dream of mine to do this,” says Dodds. “We will have various flavours of crepes made from my mother’s recipe from Belgium. They will have various toppings, and various fruits – strawberry, raspberry, blueberry and bananas,” Dodds explains. “You can choose an all-mixed berry crepe, a peanut butter-banana crepe, etc.,” he said of the various combinations.

Good karma on beach in Prior this summer Lifestyle - Essencia Yoga is once again hosting ‘Karma Yoga’, a unique summer-long fundraising program. Weekly yoga classes will take place July and August on the beach in Robert Simpson Park. Students who take a yoga class are simply asked to give a donation to participate. “We began Karma Yoga in Arnprior last summer and raised over $700 for Valley Animal Rescue,” says Tina Lyons, owner of Essencia Yoga on John Street in Arnprior. “I wanted to find a way to give back. I love all animals, I have rescue dogs of my own and this is my way to repay some of the love I’ve received from them over the years. This year all donations received will go to the Arnprior and District Humane Society,” she said. The Arnprior and District Humane Society is a no-kill shelter. Its mandate is to rescue, house and care for lost, stray or abandoned pet animals, reunite lost pets with their families, find appropriate homes for all animals through adoption and provide veterinary care using local animal hospitals for sick or injured animals housed at the shelter. It also educates the public on the importance of responsible pet ownership. From beginner to expert, everyone is welcome. For more information, contact Essencia Spa & Yoga at 613-286-4944 or email relax@essenciaspa.ca.

News - Renfrew County is proceeding with a request for proposal for site engineering services at Renfrew County Place. The RFP will be done by Jp2g Consultants for $22,372 after four companies bid on the contract. The next-closer bid was $47,752. County council had budgeted $100,000 for special projects, such as this one, in 2013. The study will examine the adjoining 26-acre property to determine its suitability as the future site for the Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police. The Renfrew and Arnprior detachments recently amalgamated into one force. “Whether the OPP building goes in there or not, it would be important to see what could and could not go in there,” said Petawawa Mayor Bob
Sweet, who chairs the county’s development and property committee. The RFP’s criteria will include a recommendation on whether this is the optimal location for the proposed OPP facility. Other criteria will also include a legal survey showing service locations and topographical information; site services information for water, storm, sewer, hydro, gas and telephone; recommendations on drainage issues; and a separate price for geotechnical requirements. Ideally, the RFP will determine the most suitable and cost-effective way to build an OPP facility on the site. The acreage is located next to Renfrew County Place on Renfrew’s O’Brien Road. The building is home to several county services, including a paramedic base station and the district health unit, and a daycare facility.

10 years after the Mad Cow outbreak Renfrew County Local National Farmers Union
News - Tony Straathof, president of the Renfrew County National Farmers Union ,reports May 20, 2013 was the 10th anniversary of Canada’s first case of BSE (Mad Cow). Sadly the BSE crisis of 10 years ago has wreaked havoc (lost income) for cattle producers in Renfrew County. In fact, Canadian cattle producers have lost 10.3 billion dollars since the outbreak of Mad Cow in 2003. Historically, Renfrew County has been noted as a successful cow calf and cattle production region. Travelling through the countryside it is obvious that we have fewer cattle numbers today than 10 years ago. It is estimated that our county may have lost anywhere between 20 per cent\% and 25 per cent of our cattle numbers. To add to those recent struggles in the aftermath of BSE cattle numbers continue to decrease in this area also because of last years’ severe drought. Looking over the last 10 years cattle pro-
duction statistics are somewhat discouraging – the average price received by farmers for cattle has increased 4 to 10 cents per pound (5.5 per cent). However, in the ensuing 10 years the price for diesel has increased 80%, gasoline 85%, corn 50%, beef supplement 64%, which clearly reaffirms why cattle numbers in Renfrew County (Canada) continue to deplete. This situation has forced most cattle producers to look to off-farm income to greatly supplement their farm income. Straathof added, “As devastating as the BSE crisis was, consumer confidence in local (Canadian) beef has somewhat helped to mitigate some of the disastrous effects of the BSE fall out.” Straathof concluded, “As cattle producers approached the tenth anniversary of the worst disaster to hit Canadian agriculture there wasn’t that much to celebrate. “Returns for cattle producers are falling way behind cost of production, and cattle numbers in Renfrew County (across Canada) continue to dwindle.”
Drive-in bingo every Wednesday in Carp Patricia Leboeuf pleboeuf@metroland.com
Lifestyle - Every Wednesday in July, the Carp Agricultural Society is once again holding a drive-in bingo. Players pick up their cards at the gate of the Carp Fairgrounds and can either enjoy the summer air outside or remain inside their vehicles. “It’s just a fun, fun night to come out,” said manager Joyce Trafford. “What better way than to spend a Wednesday night in July then to come out and play bingo.”
Going hungry is unthinkable as a barbecue starts at 6 p.m., preceding the actual game by two hours. Though there are all sorts of snack foods to enjoy, the real draw for many is the pies. “You have to be there before 8 O’clock if you want your favourite type of pie because it’s gone very quickly,” said Trafford. “The cream pies like the butterscotch and the coconut creamy are the first to go.” A strip of three cars with a jackpot card is $5 and nine cards with the jackpot card is $10. The funds go to the Carp Fair Agricultural Society.

Renfrew Tourism: Helping you discover Renfrew Charlie Bossy Renfrew Tourism
Community - At first glance it may seem like your typical small town – quaint, quiet, ordinary. But upon removing the small town façade you might just find something unique waiting behind, something you did not expect. This is Renfrew, the self-described “great place to live.” The birthplace of the NHL, the home of Ontario’s only swinging bridge, host to a diverse line of shops and businesses. And situated in the heart of all this, the post office clock tower. These symbols have become synonymous with the town making it one of the most (if not the most) iconic places in the area. Entering the town off Highway 17 you will see another symbol of Renfrew: the yellow caboose. Situated in Haramis Park, the caboose serves as a railroad museum and like the clock tower and swinging bridge, an icon of Renfrew. Just beyond this icon you’ll find the home of Renfrew Tourism, which recently opened its doors for the 2013 season. Helping tourists find their way throughout Renfrew and surrounding area, Renfrew Tourism serves as a guiding point for tourists who visit the town. Stopping by the Renfrew Tourist Centre you will be greeted by tourist ambassadors offering directions, maps and all the Renfrew “know-what,” pointing you to all Renfrew’s hot spots. This year, however, things are little different. For 2013, Renfrew Tourism is taking a more active role in the community, providing walking tours, tourist discounts, advertising for businesses and contests throughout the summer. All with the aim of helping people to discover Renfrew and realize it isn’t just a great place to live, but also a great place to visit. The tourist booth is open 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday to Monday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. the rest of the week. If you’re new to the town, or even if you think you know Renfrew, drop by and chat with the tourist ambassadors, you might just find there’s more to the town than you thought and you might just discover something you did not expect waiting behind the small town façade.

Local member honoured at TOPS Provincial Recognition Days in Belleville Take Pounds Off Sensibly
Lifestyle – From June 13 to 15 about 1,500 members of TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) from all over Ontario descended on the Friendly city of Belleville for their annual Provincial Recognition Days. The event took place in the Yardmen Area(Home of the Belleville Bulls) and members were welcomed to Belleville by his worship Mayor Neill Ellis. The theme “Lucky to Be…” enabled members to reflect on how lucky they were to be in beautiful Eastern Ontario for this event. Entertainment included a “wee bit of the Irish” fun night parade and visits by ‘Johnny Cash’ and ‘Elvis’. Needless to say, Elvis received a lot of attention from the predominantly female crowd in attendance. The keynote speaker was Barb Cady, president of TOPS Club Inc., who talked to members about the Heart of TOPS, providing a perspective on information and opportunities to succeed on their weight loss journey using the programs available in TOPS. Ceremonies included graduation which recognizes the members who have been successful on their weight loss journey and achieved their doctor prescribed ideal weight.
Members donned their white robes and graduation caps to celebrate their move from TOPS status to KOPS(Keep Off Pounds Sensibly). From the graduating class, the man and woman who lost the most weight to goal were crowned Provincial King and Queen and the second place man and woman were crowned King and Queen Runner-Up. King Robert Hartwick is from Peterborough, Queen Vicki Calcutt from Strathroy, Queen Runnerup Wendy Hassard from Kitchener and King Runner-up is Sam St. Pierre from Pembroke. Sam, who is a member at Chapter ON1008, Pembroke, lost a total of 63 pounds to goal and was supported by many members of the chapter at the event. Congratulations, Sam. TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) is a not for profit weight loss support group that has been providing Sensible weight loss support to people since 1948. There are more than with 10,000 chapters throughout North America and thousands of success stories like Sam’s.

More clarity on Harkley’s tombstone Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com
Community - Dave Brown didn’t think the tombstone of Elizabeth Harkley was that of a Horton resident, and he was right. In last week’s Renfrew Mercury, Brown said he wanted to find more about the tombstone found in the woods, less than a half-mile from his Castleford Road home, including whether it was accompanied by a casket or its remains nearby. Initially, Brown surfed the white pages online and came up with four Harkley names, three in Toronto and one in Vancouver. But he met with only lukewarm response and no knowledge of the deceased. The tombstone indicated Eliza-
beth Harkley was 43 years old when she died Nov. 30, 1858. Also, the bottom right corner contained the words Wakley & Hays, Ottawa. So there’s no local link to Harkley? “There’s none at all,� says Brown, who has spearheaded recent restoration of the Martin Cemetery on Whitton Road and maintained his key interest in history and genealogy. No Harkleys are buried in Martin Cemetery or Horton Township’s other burial grounds — the North Horton Cemetery on Johnston Road, Castleford Cemetery on River Road, the Protestant cemetery on Thomson Hill and the St. Francix Xavier Catholic Church Cemetery on Whitton Road. Subsequent phone calls told
Brown the tombstone appears to have been taken to higher ground during the creation of the St. Lawrence Seaway more than 50 years ago. It turns out the heavy tombstone was transported north and left on the River Road property of Doris Humphries, where it lay for years before she asked a neighbour to take it away because it made her uncomfortable. The request was granted for Humphries, who now lives in Renfrew. If possible, Brown says he’d like to see the tombstone returned to its original burial site. “I will try to get hold of the St. Lawrence Seaway people and see if they know where this lady is buried,� said Brown.

Christine’s Kitchen looking to make your taste buds soar steve.newman@metroland.com
Business - Christine Bidgood-Henderson was the owner of Renfrew’s Old Town Hall Restaurant and Tearoom that was recommended in Where to Eat in Canada 200506. Now she’s looking for her newest business to develop a similar reputation. Nearly a decade later, Bidgood-Henderson is embarking on a dream of a lifetime, with Christine’s Kitchen. While it offers a wide variety of foods in a society that’s constantly on the go, the foundation of Christine’s Kitchen is found in a decidedly rural setting. The garage of the BidgoodHenderson household sits at the southern end of the Town of Renfrew, within Horton Township, and next to a beef farm whose property features undulating pastures, a creek and a tall windmill. But the garage has taken on a whole new look, after being converted into a full commercial kitchen that’s the hub of Christine’s Kitchen culinary creations. Look out the window, and you don’t find the hustle and bustle of urban life, but more likely birds chirping and the wind blowing through the tall grass beside old rail fencing. It’s a good place to indulge in one’s culinary senses. Critical to the success of Christine’s Kitchens, whose official opening was June 22, are head chef and owner Christine Bidgood-Henderson,
Wendy Bennett, Matt West, Emma Bidgood and Cathy Louise Koenjer. West, who has a culinary arts diploma from George Brown College, is a baker and pastry chef at Bridgehead Coffee House in Ottawa, while Koenjer is the pickles, relish and jams specialist. The owner’s daughter Emma is marketer and office manager, while Bennett will co-ordinate business operations. A decade ago, BidgoodHenderson was running a successful restaurant in downtown Renfrew, but she says her children and medical matters required more attention at the time. “Family and health came first, and I’m really glad I made that choice,” says Bidgood-Henderson, who beat her battle with cancer, while her children are now 18, 20 and 22. She’s also in a new and successful marriage, and ready to focus on something that has always been pivotal in her life – food. “Food and people are the only things I’ve been passionate about for so long,” she says. “Even when I was a kid, I was collecting recipes before I could write.” Big encouragers in that regard were Aunt Norma, Aunt Hilda and her mom, Mary Bennett, who now lives in Bonnechere Manor, but who back then was encouraging Christine, when just three years old, to stir bowls of food being prepared in the kitchen.
“We’re all foodies,” she says of her family roots. “I grew up with family food, homegrown food that we fed ourselves and the guys doing the hay. It was about relish and pickles and all the things that went with it. You made it, and you made it good.” CHEF’S DIPLOMA
Knowing that, and wanting to be even more accomplished, she went to Algonquin College to earn her chef’s diploma in 2012, after taking a food service management diploma at Kemptville College in the 1980s. Asked about the little ‘heart’ symbol that accompanies the lettering for Christine’s Kitchen business sign, she says she has always signed her name with the heart symbol. Also, she says, “This is my dream. This has been in my heart … I couldn’t imagine anything better than spending my time just preparing food, creating dishes that make people say, ‘That was the best thing I’ve ever had.’ I like making people happy and knowing it’s good.” Having good people around her is also important, thus the reason her friend Wendy Bennett is a key business partner. Both attend the River of Life Christian Fellowship Church in Arnprior. And both hooked up for walks together, which led to the creation of Christine’s Kitchen. “It just came together and flowed,” explains BidgoodHenderson.
TOWN OF RENFREW
NOTICE OF STUDY COMPLETION Municipal Class Environmental Assessment for Jennet Street Drainage Improvements The Town of Renfrew has completed an Environmental Assessment (EA) of the need, alternatives and preferred solution for drainage improvements in the vicinity of Jennet Street. The area has experienced major floods in the last decade with the last recent flooding occurring in June 2011. The study has developed a recommended storm sewer plan that includes 400 m of new storm sewer, with the design flow rate based on the 100 year peak flow. This project followed a Schedule ‘B’ Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process which culminates in the production of a Project File. The Project File, which includes the study purpose, process and recommendations, is now available for a 30-day public review period. The public review period begins on June 7, 2013.

I’m the creative one and she does the paper work and the details.” Bennett’s the one who’ll make sure a good, new recipe is written down and filed in the card system. As Bennett says, “I’m there to keep her cooking in the kitchen.” To start, Christine’s Kitchen will offer pickup of fresh and frozen meals Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, when the specialty meal or
meals of the day might include roast beef, lasagna, osso buco (braised veal shank) or coq au vin.

New opportunities are presenting themselves every day in the forms of school programs, volunteer opportunities, and career paths. As Ontario’s young people approach the daunting task of choosing a direction for their education and, eventually, their careers, it has become paramount that these opportunities be presented to them. March 28 marked the official launch of Exploring Green: Ontario’s Green Careers Resource Guide. The guide is tailored to 16- to 29-year-olds with a passion for the environment who are interested in turning that passion into a career. Youth in Motion’s mission is to give Canadian youth the skills and support they need to achieve success in their lives, education and careers; while encouraging and facilitating their efforts to be positive change makers and contributing citizens. In a news release, Youth in Motion says it’s confident Exploring Green will make a difference for young people and our environment. Included in the guide is an introduction to the
green sector, the career sketches of 14 current environmental professionals, top green university and college programs, how to develop the most sought-after skills in the green sector and job interview preparation tips. There is also material on green career options, and over 900 resources comprised of green organization contact information, top green employers, volunteer and training opportunities, and specialized education options. Exploring Green: Ontario’s Green Careers Resource Guide can be found online at: www. youth-in-motion.ca Youth in Motion touches the lives of thousands of youth every year through its various programs; Top 20 Under 20™, Career Learning Days, and Opportunities Unlimited Program for at-risk youth. Youth in Motion is a registered national charity dedicated to helping youth realize and reach their full potential in life and work. The guide is presented by Youth in Motion Education Foundation and funded in part by the federal government’s Youth Employment Strategy.

Time of reflection and recognition for St. Joe’s grads Eighty-eight high school diplomas were handed out during the St. Joseph’s Catholic High School graduation ceremony that focused on the themes of faith, perseverance, accomplishment and balance in one’s life. An audience of about 650 people packed the gymnasium for the nearly two-hour ceremony that saluted the high school’s 17 Ontario scholars, for obtaining an average of at least 80 per cent in their top six Grade 12 courses, in addition to handing out more than 70 awards, including numerous scholarships and bursaries. Most prominent among the recipients, at the June 26 ceremony, were students from four different communities. One of those four was Jennifer Hall, 19, of Renfrew who accepted the Governor General’s Medal for achieving the highest overall average in all of her Grade 11 and 12 courses. “It’s one of the highest averages I’ve ever seen,” said principal Brennan Trainor of her 96.3 average. “I don’t exactly know how that happened. I just tried to
do well. It was pretty unexpected,” said Hall, who this fall heads to University of King’s College in Halifax for her liberal arts degree, while waffling between whether to focus on engineering or music. An accomplished musician, especially on piano, she was busy on the school’s musical front this year with the Blues Guys, jazz band, choir and The Sound of Music musical. Her year’s highlights, she said, included an “awesome” European history course with teacher Dave Rowat The other major award winners were Douglas resident Haley Gale, with the Catholic Education Foundation of Ontario Catholic Student Award, for exemplary conduct, service and achievement; Arnprior resident Rosemary Waclawik, with the Chaplaincy Award for showing servant-leadership in the pastoral works of the school and her parish community; and Cobden resident Alexandra Wouda, for the Lieutenant Governor’s Community Volunteer Award. “I’m honoured that the teachers thought of me,” said Gale, who will start a B.A. in psychology at the University
of Ottawa before pursuing a teaching degree. “It means I must have left a positive mark on the school.” After receiving the award, she said it was her hope students and staff saw in her a positive attitude, a willingness to help others, and a role model. Waclawik, who will start an arts degree at Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Academy in Barry’s Bay this fall, paid tribute to chaplain Jason Dedo and other staff members for helping to make the year so meaningful. “I’m just glad to be part of such a great school that has such a Catholic spirit,” she said. Wouda’s award came after doing more than 600 hours of community service. “I stopped counting in Grade 11,” she said of volunteer work done, among other places, at Camp Adonai, Renfrew and District Christian School and the AdmastonBromley Public School. This fall she’s headed to Redeemer University College in Ancaster, Ont., to study business. Other prestigious awards included the Diocese of Pembroke Bursary, which went to

Renfrew Collegiate Institute honours its class of 2013 peter.clark@metroland.com
News - It was the end of an era for many students of Renfrew Collegiate Institute. Whether it be university, college or employment, each is set to begin the next stage of their life. “I am so proud of the graduating class,” RCI principal Alanna Emon said in her address at the school’s 107th graduation ceremony in the Grant Gymnasium Thursday. “This diploma takes a great deal of commitment and perseverance to earn. For at least 13 years, they
have been demonstrating impressive academic achievements, performing passionately in the arts and competing fiercely in athletics. “What makes you unique is that at this young age, you understand that we have a responsibility to care for those in need, in our community and in our world,” the principal added. “RCI has a long-standing reputation as the caring school, where everyone is welcomed and accepted. This would not be true if it was not for our caring students, and for that, graduates, I thank you. “You, more than any other genera-
tion, will be challenged to find creative solutions to our problems, so be open to those who go against the norm,” Emon said. “Think about ideas outside of the box, and remember, we are never too old to learn something new. In fact, learning new things will keep you young. “With the support of their teachers and staff, their parents, friends and siblings, these graduates have been able to demonstrate that they are ready to make this world a better place,” Emon said. The principal thanked trustee
Marjorie Doering “for her continued enthusiastic support of RCI and her genuine concern for the welfare of the students.” Emon also showed her appreciation for staff, custodians, families of the graduates and the community for their continued support of the school. ONTARIO SCHOLARS
Students receiving an Ontario scholarship must have a mark of 80 or above in at least six subjects. Twenty-five graduates reached that plateau.
Honour students at RCI in 2013 are Jessica Arcand, Colleen Fleury, Johnathan Le, Liam Beattie, Danielle Fournier, Alison Martin, Chad Bennett, Allison Gibson, Courtney Miller, Zachary Bidgood, Adam Harvey, Catherine Penney, Taylor Carty, Megan Hazen, Robyn Perry, Allison Chartrand, Mark Hibbins, Gracie Stewart, Devin Clouthier, Meagan Kong, Jeffrey Terry, Laura Cobus, Kennedy Lane, Andrea Villamere and Kelsey De Boer.

Community Living holds first Spring Fling in Renfrew Gloria Tunn
Community Living RCS
Community - Community Living Renfrew County South celebrated Community Living Month with their first annual spring dance. Spring Fling was held May 23 at the Royal Canadian Legion 148 hall. Music was by Pat Watters and Mixed Nuts. Admission was an item for the Renfrew and District Food Bank. Everyone also enjoyed a light lunch.
We decided to have a spring dance for our individuals so they could have fun without having to pay. We did some fundraising, and thought it would be good for people to bring and item for the food bank. The dance was a success, with people coming from as far away as Barry’s Bay. We got the Legion and the band (Mixed Nuts) for nothing, and ladies were able to get their hair and nails done at the Cosmetology Program that Dianne Kennedy oversees at (Renfrew Collegiate) RCI.
Join in on the fun at the Douglas Lions Club’s annual kids’ fishing derby July 14 at the Douglas Beach from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Prizes to be won, and drinks and snacks will be available. Call 613-649-2550.

Community - The Eganville SnoDrifters Club revved their engines and put a lot of snow behind them to donate $1,500 to the Pembroke Regional Hospital Foundation’s MRI: Image Matters Campaign. Announcing and presenting the gift was Megan Clark, president of the Eganville Sno-Drifters Club. “We are thrilled to be a part of the campaign. Truth be told, it was a lot of fun raising the money by racing through the cold winter months,” Clark said with a laugh. With the Clubhouse next to the Benson Sports Oval in Eganville, the Sno-Drifters Club is one of Ontario’s oldest established snowmobile associations. Hosting the annual Bonnechere Cup for over 39 years, the organization also held their first May Mudder rally this year, and is looking forward to the 40th anniversary celebrations this coming winter season. Behind the push for the gift was race director Merv Boldt.

1913: Travelling overseas First foray into milking the cows JULY 4, 1913
Lifestyle – TRAIN RAN OFF TRACK: Mr. D. Barr and Miss Christina had some novelty in their trip this time to Old Orchard. In a card to Mr. Orange Wright, Mr. Barr noted that they were staying over Friday night at St. Johnaburg, Vermont, owing to a train running off the track at noon that day. No one was hurt, but there was some hours delay. GOING TO ENGLAND FOR A HOLIDAY: A pleasant title party and handkerchief shower were given last week at the lovely home of Mr. and Mrs. C.H. Parry, Copper Cliff, as a send off to Miss Isabel Wallace, graduate nurse, who left on Thursday for a trip to England, Scotland and Switzerland. Miss Wallace sails from Montreal on the Victoria, July 3, and will meet her sister and brother-in-law, Dr. and Mrs. J.Y. Ferguson of Korea, in London. Later the party go to Geneva Switzerland where Mrs. Ferguson has been appointed a delegate to the Sunday School Convention. Dr and Mrs Ferguson and party of friends expect to leave England the second week of August to spend the remainder of their furlough in Canada. JULY 7, 1938
SOUTH RENFREWITE CITIZENS NAMED FOR CONVENTION IN CAPITAL: Prominent among the Conservatives of South Renfrew attending the convention in Ottawa this week for the elections of a leader in the Federal parliament is Dr. M.J. Maloney of Eganville, for some years the constituency representative in the House. John J. Foran, a former warden, a prospective warden of the future, Canon Quartermaine, is present as a delegate at large. Others privileged to be present if so desiring are David W. Budd, H.J. Chapeskie, Thomas S. Church, Alex Reid, Crawford Dewar, J.A. Maloney, Daniel Duggan and Harry Richards. THE CITIZEN SOLDIERY HOME FROM CAMP: Including bandsmen, there were 45 residents of Renfrew at brigade camp at Connaught Ranges in the township of March near Ottawa. The Renfrewites, who returned home on Sunday, speak of
Mary Cook
OLGA LEWIS From the Old Files the camp as one of the most successful they ever knew, with all arrangements perfect. Different Eastern Ontario regiments were represented, including the Governor-General’s Foot Guards of Ottawa, each one with a band. Weather conditions were favorable. The Renfrew contingent spent one week in camp. JULY 5, 1978
CHAMBER TO REPLACE BOOTH: The Chamber of Commerce is planning to set up a new tourist booth as soon as possible, to replace the one destroyed by fire. One problem that has caused some delays, however, is the fact the chamber will have to order new supplies for the booth to replace those lost in the fire, said chairman Bob Amaron. The chamber is planning to lease a mobile van and use it for their booth. The van will be located in the same site as the other building but cannot be used until the remains of the other structure are moved away, Mr. Amaron said. TOWN HONOURS EIGHT: Eight town employees of long standing were honoured last Thursday at a special awards night council meeting. Six town employees with over 25 years standing, each were presented with a plaque and a gift from the town. They were fire Chief Greg Colterman, deputy fire chief Earl Lepine, volunteer firefighter George McArthur, recreation director Herb Rusheleau, and Kenneth Warren and John Nighbor from the public works department. Henry Eady was recognized posthumously. A suitable memorium will be given in recognition. Former fire chief R.L. Troke was also recognized posthumously and the town announced plans to set up a fund in his name for fire prevention. For help with research, contact olewis@sympatico.ca
Memories
Lifestyle – “I’m telling you, she’s too young,” Mother said. Father said he milked a cow the day he learned to walk! Mother said “that’s nonsense, and you know it.” Rarely did I have so much attention sent my way, and I was loving every minute of it. With four siblings, rarely was I singled out, but that day, I was getting my share. The subject was if I was old enough to milk. Once a calf got to the cow stage, I lost interest in her, and I had little desire to sit with my head on her belly and try to get milk into a pail. But Father said it was time I did my share like everyone else in the family. Needless to say, I was never consulted as to how I felt about the issue. And so, on a Saturday it was, Father put a threelegged stool at the rear end of the quietest cow in the cow byre, put a pail under her, and without a word of instruction, told me to go ahead and milk! The old cow turned her head in my direction, and then back to chewing her cud. After watching my three brothers and sister do the milking often enough, I figured there wasn’t much to it. Well, I pulled, and I tugged, and I spit on my hands, and kept saying “sooo Bossie.” Nothing worked.
The brothers were real pros at the job. The barn cats lined up on the other side of the gutter, and every so often, a squirt of milk would be headed in their direction, and without fail, the milk went right into their opened mouths. And here was I who couldn’t even get a drop into the milk pail! My arms ached right up to my shoulders, and a couple times I almost fell off the three-legged stool. It was beyond me why the milk stool only had three legs in the first place! To add to my misery, it was fly season too. And the poor old cow, kept swishing her tail trying to rid herself of the hateful pests, and with each swish, I took the full brunt square in the face! Mother was right. I was too young for this job! But to convince Father was another matter. First of all, I didn’t like the cow byre. It was full of cobwebs, cows smelled differently from the horses. And I wouldn’t put it pass any one of them to give me a good kick, especially when I was engaged in something as personal as tugging at her private parts. Emerson, Everett and Earl were into the snickering, and I knew it wouldn’t be long before I was into the tears. It was my beloved sister Audrey who finally came to my rescue. She had fin-
ished milking her cows, the milk had been emptied into the cans, and she came over to where I was sitting hunched over, still tugging away with absolutely not a drop to show for my efforts! “Let me try,” she said, and I gladly surrendered the stool. The milk spewed out on the first try with Audrey! I blamed it on the cow! I thought I was doing exactly what my sister was doing, but it certainly wasn’t working for me, and I was convinced the cow didn’t like me any more than I liked her. Audrey tried her best to show me how to milk. Nothing worked. Finally, she went up to Father who was at the far end of the cow byre. “Mary’s hands are too small,” she said. “And the cow’s too big,” I offered. Father ran his hand over my head. Even though it wasn’t near my nose, I could smell cow off him, and milk, neither of which were my favourite odours. “Well, we’ll try again some other time,” he said. I was out of the barn before you could say ‘milk pail’. I ran to the house and told Mother I wanted to change my clothes. She knew exactly why. I bundled up what I had on in the barn, and brought the whole pile down to the summer kitchen to wait the Monday wash. I asked Mother for a pan of hot
water and wash cloth and towel, which I hauled upstairs to the privacy of the bedroom. I washed every square inch of my body I could reach, but I thought I could still smell the cow byre off my skin. I opened my sister Audrey’s drawer of the little wash stand we shared, and took out her precious can of Lily of the Valley talcum powder, and slathered it on with abandon. Then I put on clean clothes from the inside out! When we sat down for supper, my try at milking was never mentioned. I figured the brothers had been warned not to bring up the subject. And I knew, without a doubt, my milking days were over ... but only for the time being. Everyone had to pull her share back then. And I knew the time would come when I would be led back into the cow byre and made stick at it until I could fill a milk pail like the brothers or my sister Audrey. Not a word was spoken all during supper about how I had failed at a job that everyone worth his or her salt would be expected to do growing up on a farm long before modern milking machines did the job for you. Even my sister Audrey, who guarded her belongings like a mother hen guarding her chicks, never said a word about how I smelled of Lily of the Valley.
History of Algonquin Park among finalists for new award Arts – Author Donald J. Beauprie of Deep River was one of 16 finalists in the Ontario Speaker’s Book Award, a newly-created award to showcase Ontario’s literary talents.

characters. Destination Algonquin Park: Tracks to Cache Lake and the Highland Inn by Donald J. Beauprie (9781-926962-11-5, 291 pages) is published by General Store Publishing House, Renfrew. The book retails for $29.95.

What was trending 10 years ago in June is still trending today JIM FERGUSON
The birds arrived at very close to the same time as last year. The weather conditions last weekend certainly dampened their will to nest but spring will arrive, it does every year and nesting will start.

BARN SWALLOWS FROM JULY 4, 2004
Lifestyle - Joyce and Collett Calverley have had a very interesting few days as a family of six or eight (numbers change rapidly) barn swallows fledged from a nest on the Calverley’s front porch. Unlike tree swallows, which leave the nest and are on their own immediately, barn swallows are brooded for several days after they fledge. For several days the nest remains part of their lives and they return to it each night. Because they are almost fully-grown there is not room for them all so some have to perch beside the nest. Getting a spot in the nest is a challenge and there are many squabbles. The Calverleys say that the antics and behaviour have been interesting to say the very least. It is unlikely that the swallows will have additional broods.
A BLUEBIRD ON YOUR WINDOWSILL
We received the following letter from Edna Peever at Cobden on July 4, 2004. Last week a bluebird insisted on hanging around my windows. He would sit on the sill and stare at me eye to eye for the longest time. This continued for three days and he still drops by to stare at me through the windows. What could cause this strange behaviour? I have heard that old song about a bluebird on your windowsill bringing happiness but you should see the mess on mine. Yours truly, Edna Peever.

Jim Goodall at Douglas has a very friendly pigeon strutting around his yard. The bird has a yellow and a green band around one of its legs indicating that it is a racing pigeon that has lost its way. Owners of racing pigeons have been holding races lately and some of the birds have become exhausted before they have found their home loft. Unfortunately when they lose their way during a race they become confused and because they may or may not be able to fly will remain at any friendly location. With a few days rest and some grain the birds will usually be on their way. RACING PIGEON: FROM JUNE 13, 2013
BLUEBIRDS RETURN FROM JUNE 7, 2013
Joyce Calverley called this week and a pair of robins has taken over one of the nesting sites of the resident barn swallows in the Calverley’s front porch. Joyce says that there have been some severe squabbles over which pair would build where. The antics and behaviour have remained interesting. The robins attacked the barn swallows until Joyce put up a flag near the sites that seemed to keep the robins and swallows from fighting. The young robins finally fledged and now all is quiet on the Calverley’s front porch. Now if the swallows would only fledge.
Eastern bluebirds arrived this month at Murden and Marjorie Johnston’s home near Douglas. Kevin and Pauline Hughes saw bluebirds investigating their bird houses. Cathy and Remick Campbell saw a pair of bluebirds gathering nesting materials. Mary and Dwaine Steele saw bluebirds near their bird feeders. Bluebirds are very territorial and will become very aggressive if they should see their reflection in window glass. Kevin Hughes says a male became very agitated when he saw his reflection in one of their windows.
Free fishing July 6 to 14 Lifestyle - Ontario Family Fishing Events (OFFE) is a wonderful initiative that invites new anglers out onto the waters to cast a line. This year marks 20 years of licence-free fishing for the summer events. Each year, the Ontario government designates two periods throughout the year as licensefree: one in February and one in July. During all other time periods, Canadian residents between the ages of 18 and 64 years must purchase an outdoors card and a fishing license to legally fish in Ontario. This year’s licence-free days are July 6 to 14.
Rod and Meena Ballantyne had a racing pigeon arrive in their yard this week. The bird could fly but only for short distances. It has a yellow and a green band around one its legs. It is tolerant of the Ballantynes and seems to be settling in but has become disoriented and as yet it is too weak to make its way home. The bird is being fed cracked corn and in a week or two will be strong enough to find its home loft.And that was what was trending in the month of June 2004 and 2013. Enjoy your birding.

You don’t need to hide behind a mask, Aries. Let your true feelings be shown and you will gain more respect for having done so. If you meet resistance, try again. Don’t worry about a missed opportunity this week, Taurus. You will get a second chance and make the most of that welldeserved opportunity. Gemini, you will need to find ways to sure up a plan of action before you can start to move forward. You may want to seek advice from Pisces. Cancer, keep trying even if you feel as though your efforts are getting you nowhere. Eventually you will make a breakthrough, and all that hard work will pay off. Leo, take care of a few things early in the week and then enjoy some much-needed and well-deserved rest and relaxation. Put travel at the top of your to-do list. Virgo, you may experience a scare, but it will be short-lived and you will recover quickly. The rest of the week may prove uneventful, but do your best to stay busy.
Libra, you may be second-guessing an earlier decision that you now find isn’t working out exactly as you had hoped. It is not too late to take a different path. Scorpio, spend some quality time at home if you have been away for awhile. Time spent with your loved ones will reinvigorate you and put some hop back in your step. Sagittarius, step out of the shadows for a bit this week to get the praise and recognition you deserve. There’s no shame in accepting the gratitude of others. Capricorn, your focus on the future may be making it difficult for you to see what is right in front of you. Take stock of your immediate future and you’ll be glad you did. Aquarius, expect to tackle many things on your to-do list this week. While you are feeling motivated, keep going. You may accomplish a lot more. Pisces, sometimes you will have to make sacrifices, and this week you may find yourself putting others first. You thrive at being selfless.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
