ST. JOE’S ON TOP For the first time since 2005, St. Joseph’s Catholic High School has captured the region’s junior Reach for the Top title.

In come-from-behind fashion, the St. Joe’s juniors won their semi-final over General Panet High School of Petawawa and the final over Opeongo High School.

The event occurred at the Cogeco TV studios May 20 in Pembroke, after winning an earlierseason qualifying tournament against MVDHS, Mackenzie and Bishop Smith.

Jen Hall’s answer to a Nancy Drew question put St. Joe’s in front for good in its semi-final.

In the final, late answers, including Myles Songolo’s naming of Google’s updated Internet browser (Google Chrome) helped spearhead St. Joe’s win.

Coach Dave Rowat rotated his five players in and out of a fourmember panel.

The championship team consisted of Hall, Songolo, Joel Beimers, Devric Devereaux and Ernie Lycett.

Push for pool continues Consultant says demand for an indoor pool “clear and compelling” PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

A new indoor swimming pool continues to be a hot topic in town.

About 70 people were at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre last week as the final draft of the town’s Parks, Recreation and Culture master plan for the next 10 years was unveiled.

One thing they learned from Clem Pelot, head of the Ottawa Consulting firm which conducted the public survey, was that of 42 recommendations the consultants proposed, No. 17 on their list was No. 1 in the hearts of many – an indoor swimming pool for Renfrew and area.

“The demand for a new indoor pool in Renfrew is clear and compelling,” Pelot said.

Seventy-eight per cent of surveys returned were in favour of a pool,

virtually the same numbers in support in a survey 24 years earlier.

The consultant group recommended developing a modest but attractive indoor pool at the MAC which would serve people of all ages. Pelot estimated half of the town’s 3,700 households would use the pool.

Of the 1,000 surveys randomly sent to local households, 507 households responded.

“About 30 per cent of all households received the survey and we got about half back. That’s a remarkable achievement,” Pelot said The building of a second ice pad was also high on the consulting firm’s list.

He said if the town could afford it, building it and the indoor pool together would be the way to go.

“We’ve got all the time in the world,” said Horton councillor Bob Hall with a relaxed smile.

His reference was to how much time

members of the new Renfrew and area health services committee would spend fielding Horton council’s questions and opinions on the family physician recruitment model being developed for the area.

Arnprior teen killed, likely over-reacted, police say The result is particularly dangerous in winter, he added. “We’ve all done it (left the road),” he said, KATIE MULLIGAN, JOHN CARTER adding the key is to either ease back onto the paved In the wake of a collision that killed an 18-year- roadway or slowly get off the road altogether.

Vincelette said speculation that Lyman might old Arnprior teenager May 20, police are reminding drivers not to over-react if their vehicle wan- have been distracted from her driving because ders off the paved roadway.

Katrina ‘Kay’ Lyman was killed when her car hit a pickup truck on a curve on County Road 29 between Pakenham and Arnprior about 1 p.m.

Lyman, who was alone in her Nissan, died on scene, said Ottawa Police Service Const. Alain Boucher, while the three occupants of the truck were taken to hospital. The driver, a 27-year-old man, suffered serious, but not life-threatening injuries. His passengers, a 26-year-old woman and a 53-year-old man, suffered less serious injuries.

Const. Boucher said the sedan was headed southbound when it appears the driver left the roadway onto the shoulder of the road. “The driver overcorrected and ended up in the northbound lane where the truck was,” said Boucher.

Ottawa Police Services spokesman Const. J.P. Vincelette said Lyman probably made a quarterwheel turn to get back on the road instead of the recommended one-eighth turn. The over-reaction can cause a vehicle to spin out of control, especially if the driver is inexperienced, he said.

Continued from front While Pelot couldn’t predict the state of government grants four or five years down the road, he did suggest the town have funds ready.

“We think the sooner you start this, the better. If grants became available, you’d be one of the first in line,” he predicted.

Pelot worked with a steering committee which consisted of cochairs Mayor Sandi Heins and recreation advisory committee chair Jason Wilson, Reeve Audrey Green, Parks and Recreation director Kelley Whitman-McKie and members of the recreation advisory committee and town council.

“We started the project a little less than a year ago,” Pelot said.

“The steering committee was a very dedicated group to work with.” He also got feedback from stakeholders – people representing various organizations.

Pelot noted that “Renfrew’s population is quite distinctive, opposite from most communities in Ontario.”

Renfrew has four per cent fewer children and youth under 20 years-ofage, and nine per cent more adults over 60.

“The population is expected to stay the same for the next 10 years.

The absence of popula-

tion growth speaks to the town’s ability to pay for services. There is lots of thought in what they have to do,” he said.

Pelot noted six of every 10 households used the Millennium Trail in 2009. Trail use should be promoted for all four seasons.

He said use of the MAC upstairs hall should be increased, and the town could sell the aging recreation centre and re-invest the funds elsewhere.

Pelot recommended a wide variety of recreation through school facilities.

He said the town should invest in its parks, recreation and culture. “The community benefits as a whole.”

Pelot added the master plan all comes down to the town’s vision, albeit a challenge.

“What do you want to see different in the Town of Renfrew in 10 years?”

Copies of the master plan are available at town facilities, or on the Town of Renfrew website. People at the master plan presentation were also offered an opportunity to hand in comment sheets.

The final master plan report will be put together by the consultants after all the feedback has been submitted.

Ultimately, Renfrew town council will make the final decision.

RCI student to receive award from gay organization More needs to be done to educate society about homophobia,

says Grade 12 student STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Practically every day Trent Eady hears the “queer” or “fag” word thrown in his direction.

“I probably hear it a few times a week, or pretty much every day. It’s usually called down the hall … It’s just guys fooling around,” says Eady, 17, of Renfrew.

“It’s an insult used in a friendly way, but it’s still an insult.”

The Grade 12 student at Renfrew Collegiate Institute says he ignores the action, but would say something if the student was sitting next to him in class.

He might, for example, remind the student of the words on the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation poster in teacher Adam Noack’s classroom. The poster reads: “Gay is not a synonym for stupid.”

SPEAKING OUT Renfrew Collegiate Institute students dress in pink for the April 14 Day of Pink to stand up against bullying and homophobia. For more information about the nation-wide event, see http://www.dayofpink.org or http://rcigsa.wikispaces.com. Participants included Trent Eady, fifth from left in the back row, who will be recognized next month in Toronto for community youth work by the Lesbian Gay Bi Trans Youth Line.

people approached me about their experiences … it wasn’t so much that they were being bullied, but they heard the insults, and figured they could never come out and admit their gay identity.”

Dealing with homophobia, or anti-gay reactions, has been easier for him than for others, says Eady, because he’s a liberal-minded person with a supportive circle of friends.

However, he admits to having mixed reactions about the award he’ll receive June 11 in Toronto from the Lesbian Gay Bi Trans Youth Line.

“I kind of feel like it’s too much credit, but maybe it’s owed to the fact it’s really easy for me to speak about these issues,” says Eady.

He’s done more than speak, too.

In January he founded the school’s Gay

Straight Alliance, although he says more needs to be done to ensure the organization doesn’t die after he graduates this spring.

“Only one person has volunteered, but I’m looking for more because it’s more than a one-person issue, for sure.”

TOLL-FREE SUPPORT LINE The organization that is recognizing Eady next month is a toll-free, Ontariowide peer-support phone line is for lesbian, bisexual, transgender, trans-sexual, two-spirited, queer and questioning young people. Those handling the phone lines are all under the age of 26.

Its vision, according to the youth line’s website, is to reach “a time when all youth can express their diverse sexual

In a congratulatory letter to Eady, Aniska Ali says the community youth awards selection committee was “overwhelmed by your extensive and courageous work in making sure homophobia is acknowledged and acted upon in schools in your community. Your work in building-safe spaces for queer youth and their allies is inspiring and so needed ….”

One of Eady’s teachers, Adam Noack, commends the Grade 12 student for his efforts and his courage.

At the 12th annual gala, Eady will be recognized in the academic environment category. The event takes place at a downtown Toronto restaurant June 11. Eady is headed to McGill University next year to study philosophy or psychology.

But Eady already has spoken out. He was given a standing ovation by the students after his talk on homophobia − the irrational fear or hatred of homosexuals − last October.

He has also distributed educational posters from the youth line around the school, and helped spearhead a campaign to sell multi-coloured bracelets with the words Diversity Tolerance Pride.

Eady says a few schools agreed to sell the bracelets to their student bodies, including Arnprior and District High School and Madawaska Valley District High School (in Barry’s Bay). St. Joseph’s Catholic High School agreed to sell them, then changed its mind, says Eady.

Eady, who has known for years he was gay, only told his parents and his only sibling, an older brother, last October. But he says it really hasn’t been that hard to talk about the issue.

a way of ensuring each municipality has equal say about the recruitment campaign and equal access to doctors recruited.

Horton residents Ray and Regina Pulhaski, who attended the meeting, had similar questions.

Like who will the business officer report to? Like who gets the blame if a multi-year campaign is unsuccessful? “We want to know more about the inner workings (of the recruitment campaign),” added Mrs. Pulhaski.

Meanwhile, Emon says the committee has talked to a few local businesses who say they’ll contribute certain amount of cash each time a doctor commits to coming to the area.

“We’re not committed to any one model,” said Emon.

“That’s why I can’t say to Bob Kingsbury or Dave Bennett (of Horton council) this is the plan, because there may be different avenues of recruitment.”

The meeting included emotional remarks by Renfrew Mayor Sandi Heins who said the area will soon have about 5,000 people without a doctor.

“We need to come together and find a way, and make a difference for people who are losing their doctor (or who don’t have one) … It’s as big an issue as any we deal with at the council table. We need to come together and embrace it.”

The committee continues to work to define the model to be used for local physician recruitment.

But whatever it is, says Heins, “we need to be on the dance floor” with the other communities seeking out doctors. “We have a problem (a lack of family doctors) and somewhat of a model, but if there’s a better way to do it, put it on paper and let’s join forces, and do it the best we can.”

Greater Madawaska council has meanwhile supported expanding the area’s doctor recruitment initiative, after a tie-breaking vote by Reeve Peter Emon.

Council voted 3-2 May 20 to increase the township’s annual contribution to doctor recruitment from $8,000 to $25,000 for each of the next four years.

“We need to keep the momentum going,” said Emon, arguing that delaying the matter until year’s end wouldn’t be wise. “We have a plan ... we’re ready to move on to the next phase.”

Emon said Coun. Don Mercer’s suggestion the public be asked to donate to the doctor-recruitment campaign has generated interest and the committee will discuss ways to implement it.

Emon said the committee will determine its next step June 4 after Horton council decides whether it will join the other three local municipalities in taking over doctor recruitment from Renfrew Victoria Hospital. −With files from John Carter

Continued from front The May 19 meeting in Horton lasted two hours.

The irony of Hall’s comment was the committee members know something needs to be done soon to find family physicians for Renfrew and area.

In the meeting, Horton Mayor Bob Johnston indicated his council would decide at its June 1 council meeting how much financial backing it will provide for the local family physician recruitment program.

“It was necessary for them to confront, and meet with, those who made the document,” said Greater Madawaska Reeve Peter Emon, one of four local heads of council on the health services committee.

The committee also features members of the business community, after Renfrew Victoria Hospital said it needed to focus on running the hospital.

However, part-time physician recruitment officer Barb Desilets of Renfrew Victoria Hospital also attended the meeting to help clarify the hospital’s role in local doctor recruitment.

“Any model that has a partnership, that’s the model you need … but it needs to be enhanced and to grow bigger and bigger,” said Desilets.

“The program that was here before was a good model … but the bar has to be raised to take it to the next level.”

A few years ago, Dr. Steve Radke was recruited to Renfrew and brought other family physicians in his wake. However, a shortage of family doctors remains. Many area residents still find themselves without a family doctor, as wait times and patient volume at the RVH continue to grow. That situation will also escalate with the retirement of one or more doctors in the near future.

It’s a critical issue, agree members of area municipal councils.

What they’re having more difficulty agreeing on is how much Horton Township should contribute to an annual model that, in all likelihood, will have a business officer spearheading the recruitment campaign.

It’s expected the campaign will require substantial dollars to entice doctors here. However, Horton has expressed concerns about paying the same $25,000 the other three participating municipalities of Renfrew, Admaston-Bromley and Greater Madawaska) are saying they’ll throw in the annual pot.

Horton Coun. Bob Kingsbury says several Horton residents have told him they won’t support a program in which other municipalities pay less per household than Horton households do.

“I can’t square that circle,” said committee member Peter Emon, who argues an equivalent contribution from each municipality is

Sing for Spring at Burnstown Burnstown United Church is proud to announce that Julie Larocque will headline this year’s Sing for Spring concert on Saturday, May 29 at 7 p.m. Along with other performers, the songs will feature love songs, Broadway hits, and gospel.

Larocque is a professional musician from the Renfrew area, as well as a radio announcer and television producer.

While many recognize her voice and name on myFM as a freelance broadcaster for the station, and have heard her sing at many weddings and events, how many know her third album, Observatory, has been receiving rave reviews from critics and colleagues? And that her original compositions have also garnered the solicitation of the prestigious Cirque du Soleil and songs have been used in several independent media projects?

Larocque graduated in 1998 from Ryerson Polytechnic University with a degree in radio and television arts. She lives in Eganville with her husband and three young children.

Some songs being performed by Larocque are What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong, Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen, and a few of her own compositions.

She will be joined that evening by other local performers: Laurent Gagnon from the Calabogie area, Nicole Vaillancourt from Arnprior, Carpenter’s Way from Cobden, and Joanne Longtin from Renfrew.

A silent auction will also be conducted prior to and following the performances, with all proceeds going to the Burnstown United Church. There are some very interesting items, including two sightseeing tours in a private plane along the Madawaska River, a portrait session, dinner for six, and an oil change, with more items to come.

Cost for the event is $10, with children 10 and under free. Refreshments will be served afterwards.

Earlier in the day, Burnstown United Church will be busy with a plant and bake sale, starting at 9 a.m. Lunch begins at 11:30 a.m, with real German sausage served on a bun. Cost is $5, which includes a beverage. The silent auction will open to take bids at this time, closing at the end of the concert.

Join a busy, entertaining, funfilled day at Burnstown United Church, sponsored by the Burnstown Women’s Institute and United Church, with all proceeds to the Burnstown United Church’s operating fund.

Come for one of our events and spend the day in the village browsing the shops.

LETTER

Shhhh!

No biting welcomes, please To the editor: Facing a dog that has a clear intent to defend its family and territory remains an everyday challenge for letter carriers. In fact, the image of Fido chasing after your letter carrier does not come from folklore! Unfortunately, unrestrained dogs of all shapes and sizes still have a “biting” greeting in store for the letter carrier. Last year in Eastern Ontario alone, Canada Post recorded 16 incidents involving dogs, 14 of them requiring medical attention Nevertheless, the words letter carriers hear most often are: “My dog won’t bite!” However, any dog, regardless of its breed, weight, size or pedigree, can bite at any time. It may be hard for letter carriers, who carry heavy volumes of mail in their bags every day, to defend themselves if they are attacked. Therefore, it must be ensured that your letter carrier can deliver the mail safely.

Moreover, Canada Post can suspend delivery to a potentially dangerous address.

You can make all the difference in ensuring the safety of your letter carrier and any other people who have to come to your home.

Keep your dog inside or tie your dog securely outside, far from the mail box or letter carrier path. Do not tie your dog to the stair handrail or to the mail box. If your dog is inside, do not give it access to the screen door or letter slot. Be vigilant! Do not leave doors open.

Your dog’s duty is to protect your home; your letter carrier’s duty is to deliver your mail. Help us provide you with good service — safely!

e can talk freely about many things in this country – but not everything.

That seems to be the message federal members of parliament are conveying these days.

Clearly, we cannot talk about how MPs spend our money.

Faced with a recession many have compared with the Great Depression, our elected officials have conveniently decided that Auditor Sheila Fraser should not be able to look at ‘their’ books.

Some MPs have actually suggested the public isn’t interested. They don’t care how much money is spent on travel or wining and dining.

Excuse us. Living in Renfrew County where the average income pales in comparison to most of the country, we beg to differ.

How daft has the electorate become?

How many times must we be reminded how shallow words are at election time, especially when a party can push itself to power on a platform of accountability and transparency, then cut and run from any semblance of the same?

Suckers, they must think, as taxpayers squirm their tired path toward another federal election.

And with many consumers itching to protest a new harmonized sales tax in Ontario, nobody seems to be talking much about the federal push for this tax. It’s more convenient to let the provincial Liberals take the hit on this one.

Politics can make for strange bedfellows, indeed, although in Canada any attempt to create the same kind of co-operative coalition that serve countries like Great Britain and Germany is whitewashed as treason.

But we shouldn’t be surprised. Fear always rules. Politicians know that as long as the citizenry is fearful, it can be controlled.

Maybe the current MP fear of auditor Fraser shows they, too, are fearful. Is that a crack in the upper crust we hear?

Stuffies and the not-so-wild animal world Cartoonist Charles Schultz created an unforgettable character in Linus, one of Charlie Brown’s friends who went everywhere with his blanket.

What was Linus without his comforting blanket? And what are most of us without our comfort food, edible or not? We gnaw on pens; we bite our nails; we wear that favourite, patched-up sweater everywhere; or we have another keepsake we just can’t let go of.

Years ago, a friend was doing a tour of the house when she asked which children’s room she was in. To which I replied, selfconsciously, that it was mine. I guess a few of the stuffed animals, which I had hung onto over the years, had left the wrong impression!

But there’s no disputing the importance of stuffies, as they’re affectionately called in our household, especially in the lives of young boys and girls.

Mercury Mercur y The Renfrew

STEVE NEWMAN STEVE’S SIXTH SENSE It’s not just a dolls world or trucks world for them, either.

My five-year-old son, for example, has plenty of space in bed for his ‘stuffy’ sleeping companions, namely Whale, Raccoon, Colourful Bear, Panda, Long Grey Ears, Monkey Silly, Ant Eater, Zebra, Joy Bear, Lion, Tiger, Lamby, and his favourites, BearBear and Doggie.

Some practically fit into the curl of his hand while others, like Doggie, are practically life-size.

Which leads to the unforgettable image of the other morning. While dropping Aidan off at daycare, I stood talking to a

staff member and watching him and three friends.

All four, none over four feet tall, stood inches from each other having a conversation while clearly fixated on the new arrival, Aidan’s stuffed animal friend, Doggie.

Aidan had brought other stuffies to daycare before, but never Doggie.

So what is the fascination? Why are stuffies so important.

Well, all you have to do is watch or listen.

Like the other day at daycare. Or at night on the monitor after he’s been tucked into bed, where he converses with his animal-friends.

Because that’s exactly what they are.

They are friends who expand his world of experiences. They’re warm and cuddly. They’re real characters to talk to. And they’re always agreeable to suggestions.

Perhaps even more important, just like good friends, wherever you go they can go too.

BEST ON THE BEAT Renfrew Mercury reporter Steve Newman, right, accepts first-place honours from Metroland president Ian Oliver during the 2009 Metroland Editorial Excellence Awards ceremony May 14 in Toronto. Newman was recognized as the top beat reporter in his circulation category for coverage of Renfrew County council. He also placed third for best news story. His story − Just a heartbeat away − on the murder of Renfrew resident Susan Love’s son, Phillip, showed how the donation of his organs improved the lives of others. Several of Newman’s colleagues with Ottawa Region Media Group were also recognized. The Mercury placed third for best cover in the broadsheet category, while other firsts included Blair Edwards and Jennifer Burden of the Kanata Kourier-Standard, and Jessica Lovell of the Perth Courier.

‘I Dream of Quilts’ show coming to Renfrew STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Quilting is alive and well locally − a message that should resonate during the Quilters Guild of Renfrew and Area’s quilt show at Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

The guild, which draws its 82 members from the southern half of Renfrew County as well as Shawville, Campbell’s Bay and the Calulmet Island area, traditionally hosts a show every two years.

This year’s June 5-6 show runs

10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday.

Show chair and guild member Elaine Bazinet-Smith of Douglas says those attending the show will see “hundreds of quilts, all colours, all kinds of designs, lots of beauty and lots of creativity.”

There will also be a tea room and the merchants mall will feature about 10 Ottawa Valley quilting-related businesses.

The show’s focus is on showing products, which will include about 80 large quilts, as well as wall hangings, other quilts, some clothes and such accessories as placemats.

Entitled I Dream of Quilts, the show will also feature a tea room and programs or demonstrations every half-hour from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, and noon to 4 p.m.

Sunday.

Proceeds from the raffles will go to Victoria Quilts, a volunteer,

not-for-profit organization that makes quilts for cancer patients.

The focus this year is on patients in the Renfrew area.

The guild, which was founded in 1992, is a mixture of advanced, intermediate and beginner quilters.

Those displaying their work at the show will include Veronika Evers of Centennial Lake, Bonnie Cadieux of Renfrew and Catherine Timm of Westmeath.

Evers admits she founded the quilting world confusing when she joined the guild last year. It was particularly the new vocabulary she found challenging, but she has embraced her new surroundings and has since created a table runner, a pillow and several totes.

Cadieux is a veteran and prolific quilter who also uses a longarm quilting machine.

Some of her work includes

baby quilts the Deacon Bible Chapel group sends to Zambia.

Within the last two years, 90 of her quilts have been sent to the African country.

Timm is a fibre/mixed-media artist who uses surface design techniques. She also incorporates unusual pre-printed, handprinted, hand-dyed fabrics, plus hand- and machine-quilting, to depict landscapes and abstract art.

Timm’s work has appeared in galleries and such prestigious publications as Norway’s Norsk Quiltblad. She also teaches classes to guild members.

The art of quilting was born out of necessity because pioneers needed quilts to keep warm.

But the necessity has also become a vibrant art form, which will be abundantly apparent June 5-6. Admission is $5.

ALGONQUIN COLLEGE IN THE OTTAWA VALLEY

Admaston-Bromley crime rate remains stable LUCY HASS

lucy.hass@metroland.com

Mike Quilty, chair of the municipality’s Police Services Board, attended AdmastonBromley council’s meeting last Thursday to talk about 2009 and present “a good news report.”

“Our township experienced no significant rise in criminal activity,” Quilty said of 2009. He said he number of traffic collisions also appear constant.

“I would say we have a very law-abiding community that is supported by a regular police presence, thanks to our contract,” Quilty told council.

On the financial side, he said the billed 2009 policing costs were $275,786 for total salaries and benefits. The total estimated policing costs for 2009 were $272,090. The $3,698 was attrib-

uted to negotiated salaries and benefits.

Total estimated policing costs for 2010 are $283,847, a 4.2 per cent increase over 2009.

“Our 2010 policing costs may be higher, as our existing contract expires in July 2010,” he said.

The board itself ran underbudget by $2,457 as its budget was $10,885 and its total 2009 expenses were $8,427.

Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe praised Quilty for being “absolutely instant” in any rare case of complaint or inquiry.

“Mike is absolutely dedicated to that,” the mayor observed, noting how well that reflects on the municipality.

As the 2009 report noted: “There were no public complaints concerning policing or the actions of police officers.”

Vision Health Day proclaimed LUCY HASS lucy.hass@metroland.com

Today is Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) Day in Admaston-Bromley Township.

The council made the declaration last Thursday, praising the work of the CNIB and its many volunteers.

The staff was also urged to participate in Shades of Fun Day by wearing sunglasses to work and donating $2 to the CNIB. Shades of Fun was initiated as a unique and engaging way to demonstrate a commitment to eye health, as excessive exposure to sunlight is a contributor to the development of major eye conditions such as cataracts and agerelated macular degeneration.

“CNIB has been a vital charity in Canada for over 90 years, providing blind and partially-sighted Canadians the confidence,

skills and opportunities to reach their goals,” said CNIB East Region development director Troy Cross.

“Our aging population is turning to CNIB at a record pace – over one million people contact CNIB each year – and we really need your support,” he said.

The mayor reported how impressed she was with a meeting she and clerk-treasurer had with Cross. “It was an amazing, amazing afternoon we spent,” Mayor Briscoe said. “I had no idea the extent of the work they do in our township and beyond.”

She further urged any family in need of vision care – whether a family with school children or a senior citizen on a fixed income – to get a report from an optometrist and contact the CNIB for help.

“There’s nothing worse than a little kid that is not learning because they cannot see,” she said.

Burning bylaw gets nod, summer help denied LUCY HASS lucy.hass@metroland.com

Admaston-Bromley council has passed a new year-round burning bylaw.

It comes on the heels of a growing problem with fire department labour costs fighting grass fires.

Fire committee chairman Bob Dick reports that more than 600 man hours have already been spent on grass fires, and accounts for 14 per cent of fire department labour costs so far in 2010.

Advertisement will be placed with all local media, advising where people can get a burning permit, specifically, at the fire

chief ’s home and business.

A schedule of fines, included in the bylaw, ranges from $250 to $500. It’s hoped the steep fines will be a deterrent.

NO SUMMER HELP Council has learned it won’t receive federal funding for summer students this year.

The township applied for funds under the Canada Summer Jobs Initiative. The rationale for the rejection was that “demand exceeded the budget available in your constituency.”

The township plans to investigate where the money was allocated within Renfrew County.

Calabogie Marina and Sports set for summer steve.newman@metroland.com

Calabogie’s newest business will be hugely welcomed in the community, says Ruth Weatherall of Jim’s Bait & Tackle.

“I think it’s fabulous. We have a need for this,” she says of Calabogie Marina & Sports, which is scheduled to open in early June in the former fire hall.

The former Township of Bagot and Blythfield used the building as a fire hall from the early 1970s to early ‘90s, before declaring the building surplus.

“We see a lot of tourists, particularly Americans, who have to leave to go elsewhere for repairs when they have any boat trouble or to get parts,” adds Weatherall. “(In the summer) there’s always someone who needs help, and I’m usually on the phone (trying to help). They’re going to be very welcomed neighbours.”

The boating business has been booming for years, so opening a marina should be good for several area businesses.

These include the marina’s closest neighbours, Jim’s Bait & Tackle and Polly’s L’il Shanty.

The marina owners and operators are Brent and Heather Egan of Lanark Highlands and Larry Landreau of Renfrew.

Egan, who is a master Mercury techni-

cian, left his job at White Lake Marina in early May to start the new business.

Landreau, who grew up in the Centennial Lake area, moved back to Renfrew in 2008 after working several years in western Canada.

Local residents in outdoors activities remain alive and well, just as they were years ago, says Landreau.

“We all enjoyed snowmobiling and fishing and just getting outdoors, and that hasn’t changed,” he said.

There’s a huge number of lakes being used for fishing and other outdoor activities, but no one to service those people in Calabogie, says Egan.

Located about 100 metres from Calabogie Lake, on Highway 511, the new home for Calabogie Marina & Sports is about 30 feet by 50 feet, with a big show room area, large service bay, security cameras and a fenced-in area for customers’ boats, and ample parking.

“It’s a fantastic location,” says Egan.

“We’re very close to the lake and there’s lots of traffic on Highway 511.”

Greater Madawaska Reeve Peter Emon says the business is a needed service in the area.

“Numerous times I have heard people complain about not having a service close to our waterways, or to assist with general small-engine repairs,” says Emon.

ALL PROPERTY OWNERS AFFECTED WILL BE CONTACTED

An avid fisherman and hunter, who has a deer camp on nearby Dalhousie Lake, Egan says he brings 27 years of marine-industry experience to the job.

“It’s full-steam ahead,” he says of the marina, which will service and sell all-terrain vehicles, snowmobiles, boats, chainsaws and other small engines. The new business represents a huge investment, but Egan says the industry is thriving, and he’d like to be part of it.

“It’s only going up,” he says. “There’s been an economic downfall, but it never affected the boys and their toys.”

Calabogie Marina & Sports summer hours will be 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. seven days a week.

The business’s scheduled opening is Tuesday, June 1.

Rivers — A Source of Drinking Water

By Janet Stavinga, Chair Four municipalities in our region get their source of municipal drinking water from local rivers: Carleton Place, Ottawa, Perth and Smiths Falls. Their intake pipes draw water straight out of the Mississippi River, Ottawa River, Tay River and Rideau River, respectively. That water is then filtered, disinfected and tested before being piped out to homes and businesses in those urban areas.

The Mississippi-Rideau Source Protection Committee (SPC) is now completing studies that will make municipal drinking water even safer! These rivers and the land that drains into them upstream of the intakes were studied to determine where pollutants might be able to get into the water and how vulnerable the intakes are to contamination. Knowing this will allow us to create policies that will help prevent contamination in crucial areas.

First, the studies assessed how vulnerable the intakes are to contamination. For instance, Ottawa’s intakes, that are over 300 metres from shore and more than 6 metres deep, are generally less vulnerable than intakes in smaller rivers like Perth’s whose intake is only four metres from shore and is less than two metres deep.

Next, the studies mapped land and water where polluted runoff or spilled chemicals could flow downstream and reach the intake. Three important Intake Protection Zones (IPZs) were mapped: a 200 metre buffer around each intake (IPZ-1); an area within which runoff and spilled contaminants could reach the intake within 2 hours (IPZ-2); and a large area within which water could reach the intake (IPZ-3).

Lastly, scientists determined how easily contaminants (if present) could enter the river within these three zones – the vulnerability of the area. They considered: amount of land in IPZ-2 (more land, more chance of contamination); land cover, soil type, permeability and slope (all determine if water will run off into the river or seep into the soil – higher runoff means more chance of contamination); and the presence of pathways like ditches, storm sewers and tributaries which make it easier for contaminants to get to the river. In IPZ-1, only Ottawa’s intakes received the lower of two possible vulnerability scores.

In IPZ-2, Smiths Falls and Ottawa received the middle of three possible scores while Carleton Place and Perth received the highest.

This is the first time this type of study has been done in Ontario and there has been a lot of debate about methodologies. While it’s not in the public interest to underestimate how vulnerable our drinking water sources are, it also isn’t right to assign the most restrictive vulnerability score to an area without scientific rationale. The SPC considers these results to be a reasonable first time assessment with the desire to reassess them (and assign vulnerability scores in IPZ-3) once more provincial direction is provided.

Land uses are now being looked at within the most vulnerable areas to estimate how many significant threats to the water supply currently exist. Examples include municipal landfills and sewage treatment plants, large volume fuel storage, large volume fertilizer and pesticide application and spreading of manure. Many of these land uses can easily reduce their threat by implementing best management practices. A Source Protection Plan containing policies to address each threat will get underway this fall and will involve lots of public input.

Coming Up! Next SPC meeting is June 3 at 6pm at the Smiths Falls RCAF Wing (44 Abbott St. North). Committee members will be there early for a “meet and greet” from 5pm. The only agenda item is the approval of a DRAFT version of our Assessment Report. This report is a collection of all our technical findings and it will be posted this summer for public consultation – see our next column for details!

Earl Bennet memorial garden in the works STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School students and other supporters will use a $5,000 provincial government environmental grant to create a memorial garden, develop a composting program and enhance environmental awareness through specific workshops.

The garden, to be unveiled in June, will be named in memory of former Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School teacher Earl Bennett. He died in January 2007, after retiring in 2002.

“One of his main projects was citizenship. He (Earl) was always at Flag Day ceremonies,” said Our Lady of Fatima principal Jeannie Armstrong, knowing the garden will sit next to the school’s flag pole.

Bennett, a long-time Grade 6 teacher at Our Lady of Fatima, felt strongly about Flag Day, and conveyed those feelings to his students, says Bennett’s wife, Norma.

Green Team, otherwise known as the garden club, is putting the project together.

The project is intended to encourage students, staff, parents and the greater community to create a garden that beautifies the school and creates opportunities for students to learn about environmental issues – like how to compost, and choose and maintain a variety of plants.

The students will use two composting systems: a worm farm and a second system for compostable lunch waste. The project’s supporters include Renfrew, the Catholic Women’s League and the Knights of Columbus.

Spring spirit day this Friday VICTORIA SLIGHT The Jaguar Journal

On Friday, May 28 St. Joseph’s Catholic High School will hold its spring spirit day.

Students will be divided into groups and will dress for the day according to their assigned team colour. The day will start off with the students collecting into their groups to make up a team cheer to present to the other groups.

After that, we will be gathering with the teachers who are retiring this school year to participate in fun activities in front of the students and staff.

Then, we will hold a kangaroo court; this is a game where students nominate their friends to do funny things in front of the student body, like singing karaoke or doing a dance.

At lunch, the athletic council will be holding a barbeque. After lunch, there will be a variety

show, where students will entertain by singing, playing an instrument, telling jokes, etc.

Finally, we will be holding a sibling rivalry, where siblings compete against each other, and compete together against other siblings.

This will be one of the last events organized by our two spirit ministers, Audrey McMann and Lily Freemark.

On behalf of the St. Joseph’s Catholic High School community, I want to thank them for being our spirit ministers!

Our student council elections will be held this week.

Students who were running for something next year (prime minister, spirit minister, public relations minister, and trustee) presented speeches in front of the staff and students to support why they want to be one of the ministers. Stay tuned next week for the election results.

Fine food and fairy tales at St. Michael’s School in Douglas LUCY HASS

lucy.hass@metroland.com

An evening of food and fairy tales was enjoyed by guests as St. Michael’s Catholic School hosted its first-ever dinner theatre.

The brightly-decorated gymnasium was filled with diners who also enjoyed the school’s production of Little Red Riding Hood?, directed and produced by

Jenny Solar. Co-directors of the play were Ella-Mae and Samantha Cull.

Solar also wrote the 12scene play that carried guests from Little Red Riding Hood’s house, through the magical forest, all the way to Grandma’s house, and she played the role of Peddler Woman.

Special thanks went out to Andrew Coghlan who donated his cooking skills

to create a delicious meal, the cooking staff for donating their time and desserts, and the parents for donating “time, props and patience.”

The staff were also recognized for helping in any way they could, plus Father Lacey and St. James Parish in Eganville for loaning some dishware to the dinner theatre, and sponsor Ray’s Flowers.

People of all ages enjoyed the sit-down dinner served prior to the school performance.

Heck of a leadership opportunity for Our Lady of Fatima student STEVE NEWMAN stevenewman@metroland.com

Leadership opportunities are growing for Kailyn Friske, a Grade 7 student at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School.

For the second straight year, Renfrew County Cath-

LEADERSHIP SKILLS “She is a natural leader and confidently displays her leadership skills on a regular basis.”

Friske is a student rep on school council, a leader for the Playground Activity Leaders program and a kindergarten helper.

“Kailyn eagerly offers her opinion at school council meetings, and gives feedback on school programs,” says Armstrong.

“We are so proud to have one of our own chosen and that she is blessed to have this wonderful opportunity so early in her educational

career.

“What is most interesting is that Kailyn would like to be a teacher someday, and a fine teacher she will be, given she has already acquired an amazing perspective of the educational system.”

Last year’s Renfrew County rep says her experiences with the student advisory council have been tremendous.

“After being a member of last year’s panel, I feel, and my parents feel the same, that we (students) really do have a chance to make a difference,” says Beauchamp.

“We have to be heard, and speak our minds and let people know what we agree and disagree on.”

One result of last year’s council discussions is the move of the high school civics and careers course from a half to a full course, says Beauchamp, now a Grade 10 student.

The 2009 council members attended one session. This year’s May gathering will be followed by a second session − at the leadership

camp near Orillia − in August. Council members are also eligible for grants of up to $1,500 for projects within their school.

Assistance-dogs do more than open eyes STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Life isn’t always smooth sailing for Cobden resident Deb McLaren, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1995.

But life has also been a whole lot better since the arrival of Pippa, a trained black Labrador and member of the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind’s assistancedog program.

McLaren, who’s in her 50s, says Pippa has been more than just a good picker-upper since since her arrival last November.

“Before Pippa, if I dropped something I had to wait for someone to pick it up, or risk falling (while trying to pick it up myself),” says McLaren, who mostly

gets indoors and outdoors in an electric wheelchair, but also uses a wheeled walker.

“She (Pippa) can open and close doors or drawers or cabinets. She picks up things multiple times a day. And, if I ask her to fetch the phone, she fetches the phone.

If stranded, or unable to be heard, McLaren can also ask her canine companion to pass on the message.

“She barks for help if I need her to. Say my husband (Wayne) is in the garage, I’ll get her to call and she barks three times.”

McLaren initially became part of the dogassistance program through Canines with a Cause. But the program was subsequently absorbed by the Canadian Guide Dogs for the

Blind.

In fact, this is Pippa’s second career, after not making the high standard as a guide dog for the blind. And this time she’s performing with flying colours.

Successful applicants to the program pay only a $1 fee to lease a dog, but the owner must look after the canine’s accommodations, food and veterinarian bills.

McLaren recently brought Pippa to the Renfrew and Area MS

Support Group’s monthly meeting at Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church, where she was also joined by Miriam Mas and Cyrus, an assistance-dog in training.

A member of the local support group, Burnstown-area resident Judy McEwen, says she doesn’t need a dog to help her get out and about.

“If I couldn’t pull off my socks or couldn’t reach my laundry, I’d sure want a dog,” said

McEwen.

However, she wants others, with mobilityrelated disabilities, to know the assistance-dog program exists.

To help pay for the extensive and costly training of dogs in its assistance and blind divisions, the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind is hosting a major fundraiser May 30 at Ottawa’s Andrew Haydon Park.

Home support: people helping people JUDY EWART Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support

This spring has been a busy time in our office with the income tax program and our spring raffle drawn on April 12.

The winners were Albert Wright (grandmother clock), Mac Wilson ($300) and Melanie Sharpe ($200). Thanks to everyone who supported our raffle by purchasing tickets. Your support helps us to assist seniors and adults with disabilities to remain in their own homes and communities for as long as possible.

We would also like to send a big thank-you out to Randy Foster and his guest musicians who performed in concert for us on May 2. It was a great afternoon of entertainment and dancing – both on the stage and on the dance floor.

Spring is also a busy time of the year for all of us as we get our yards back into shape after winter and spring clean the house. While many of us like to do the work ourselves, the day may come when some of these

tasks become more challenging.

If you find that you are unable to do everything that you used to, our Home Support office has home maintenance workers who would love to help you get the work done.

When requesting home maintenance services, you tell us what you need help with and how often – one time, as needed or on a regular basis (weekly, biweekly, monthly) and we will find a worker to assist you. For more information or to request services just give our office a call (613-432-7691).

To finish, I would like to thank everyone who supports our home support – the volunteers who help us provide services/programs, fundraise, assist in the office and are board members; our community members who support our fundraising efforts and especially our clients who use our services.

All of us working together, ensure that services/programs are there to assist those seniors and adults with disabilities who need a helping hand to stay in their own homes and communities for as long as possible.

Raiders earn 2010 crown PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

The Renfrew Collegiate Raiders captured the Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association junior girls soccer title in dramatic fashion.

At the Renfrew County championship at Pembroke’s Riverside Park May 19, the Raiders overcame adversity to bring home the 2010 crown. Goals from Adrienne MacLean and Brittany Godin, combined with the shutout goalkeeping of Alisenne MacLean, pushed RCI past the General Panet Panthers 2-0 in the quarterfinal.

But it was in the semifinal where coach Ed Oegema’s squad showed their mettle. In a match of numerous scoring chances, it took to the last 15 seconds of regulation time before Carly McHenry busted through to tie the game with the Bishop Smith Crusaders 1-1.

Extra time solved nothing, and the match proceeded to a lengthy shutout. After four missed

penalty shots by each side, McHenry, Ally Kean and Shayla Bertrand all scored to provide the Raiders with the margin of victory.

RCI got an early goal from Julie Gaddess in the final, and made it stand up for a 1-0 win over the Fellowes Falcons.

“This team did not quit, they played each game to the final whistle and were rewarded,” coach Ed Oegema said.

Key contributions came from MacLean, Maddie Kubeseski and Allison Martin in the midfield and striker Carly McHenry.

“The bench played an integral role in supporting our starters, especially to hold on to the win against Fellowes. This championship was an entire team effort. Something that makes a coach very proud,” he added.

“I would like to thank the other soccer coaches, Bill Currie and Kyle Stevenson, for their support over the season, and all those who have contributed to the strong soccer program at RCI.”

The Junior Raiders were back in action Wednesday at the Eastern Ontario (EOSSAA) high school junior girls championship for AA schools in Kemptville.

The RCI senior girls blanked the Arnprior Redmen 2-0, but were up-ended 1-0 by Bishop Smith in the county semifinal. It was the first UOVHSAA loss in two years for the defending league champion Senior Raiders.

The Raiders finished fourth in the junior boys division, but were eliminated 4-1 by General Panet.

Cooper Brown scored on a penalty kick to put RCI on the scoreboard.

The Senior Raiders’ bid to repeat as county champions got off to a good start. The Raiders won their quarterfinal match over Arnprior 2-1 in overtime. All three of the game’s markers came in extra time. David Pilgrim and Colton Nichol connected for RCI. Pilgrim also scored in a 3-1 setback to the Fellowes Falcons in the semifinal.

peter.clark@metroland.com

Eleven Jaguar athletes completed at the Eastern Ontario (EOSSAA) high school track and field championships at Thousand Islands Secondary School in Brockville last week. Two will be representing St. Joseph’s at the East Region meet today and tomorrow in Belleville.

Melissa Verch highlighted St. Joseph’s performance by captured the midget girls javelin with a throw of 28.40 metres.

Sarah MacLaren competed in two events, and has qualified in one.

MacLaren cleared the bar at 1.45 metres to finish fourth in the senior girls high jump.

GIRLS EOSSAA BOUND The St. Joseph’s Jaguars junior girls soccer team has earned the right to compete at the Eastern Ontario (EOSSAA) soccer championship this week (May 25) at Rideau High School in Elgin.

After dropping their quarterfinal match 2-0 to the Opeongo Wildcats at the Renfrew County championship last Wednesday at Riverside Park in Pembroke, the

Jaguars regrouped to post a 2-1 win over General Panet in an EOSSAA qualifier for A schools.

Ashley Hume’s second goal of the game stood up as the game winner behind the goalkeeping of Breigh Whalen.

“We are very proud to represent the region at EOSSAA,” Jaguars coach Linda Ainsworth said. “We did some rebuilding.

The girls responded well.”

The Jaguar senior girls and senior boys were clipped 2-0 by the Bishop Smith Crusaders and Madawaska Valley Wolves respectively in their playoff encounters.

“We just came up a bit short,” said boys coach Mark Valliquette. “It was a good year.”

“A couple of injuries took their toll,” observed Jaguars senior girls counterpart Renee Turcotte.

The senior teams both registered 2-1 wins at Opeongo High School May 17 to close out the regular season.

Kayla Pilon and Sarah MacLaren scored for the girls. Josh Lamourie and Ryan Cuthill connected for the boys squad.

Karla Belton and Brandon Woertink chalked up the goalkeeping wins. The Wildcats topped the St. Joseph’s junior girls 3-0.

There is a (hockey) god I’m sure many Ottawa Senators fans were happy when the Chicago Blackhawks swept the San Jose Sharks in the Western Conference final – happy for Dany Heatley. Heatley was his ever-reliable self during his first season in San Jose, averaging a point per game and snapping home 39 goals.

But the way he left Ottawa last summer POed the Hockey Gods, and it all came back to haunt him in the playoffs.

Heatley potted just two goals in 14 post-season games, and none in the western final. In fairness to the ex-Senator, he was playing with a groin injury, suffered when he fell off his wallet during the Colorado series. But the Hockey Gods didn’t let it end there.

Dustin Byfuglien netted three game winners in four games for Chicago, and Heatley was his opposing winger on two of the goals. In particular, Heatley had a fine view of Byfuglien’s easy OT winner in Game 3, the goal that virtually sealed San Jose’s fate. Dany was in the penalty box for Byfuglien’s late-game winner Sunday to complete the sweep. I guess it all comes down to that old Dionne Warwick tune, Do You Know The Way To San

PETER CLARK PETER’S PUTTERINGS Jose? The Hockey Gods do!

Something has to give: Stanley Cup combatants Chicago and Philadelphia have something in common. Both have dropped their last five appearances in the final since last winning the Cup. Since 1961, the Blackhawks were clipped by Toronto in 1962, Montreal in ’65, ’71 and ’73, and Pittsburgh in 1992.

After their 1975 Cup triumph, the Flyers lost to Montreal in 1976, NY Islanders in ’80, Edmonton in ’85 and ’87 and Detroit in 1997. * * * The 1975 New York Islanders faced elimination an incredible eight times before finally falling in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup semifinal in Philadelphia.

And for this week: Chicago and Philadelphia captured their last Stanley Cup titles in six games. What teams did they beat in their respective final series?

Alisenne MacLean receives the prestigious Vincent Colterman Memorial Ironman Award from RAWC head coach Harry Smith.

The Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club put the finishing touches on the 2009-10 season with their banquet and AGM at the AFAC Wing May 14.

Alisenne MacLean was named winner of the Vincent Colterman Memorial Ironman Award at last week’s banquet.

“It is a real honour to be able to win this award,” a proud MacLean said. “A lot of great wrestlers have won it, and it’s an honour to be with them.”

Amanda Seeley – who started with the RAWC in 2002 – received a Retiring Athlete Award.

It was another outstanding season for the club, which included visits by two Olympic wrestlers.

Two-time world champion Martin Dugrenier was in Renfrew to conduct a clinic in the Grant Gymnasium at Renfrew Collegiate.

Five-time Olympian Doug Yeats conducted a day-long wrestling clinic at the Renfrew Recreation Centre.

The RAWC presented the rec-

reation centre and Queen Elizabeth Public School with mats that can also be used for activities outside of wrestling.

Among other highlights, Alisenne MacLean won gold at the Ontario Winter Games, while RAWC teammates Jake Cartman and Colin Atherton brought home silver, and James Foran and Angel Smith bronze. The 13 RAWC wrestlers who qualified were more than any other eastern Ontario team.

MacLean and Cartman also captured Cadet provincial titles, and Shohannah Smith and Me-

gan Rousselle finished among the top six athletes at the Ontario (OFSAA) high school wrestling championships. Seven local wrestlers qualified for OFSAA, but it fell on the same weekend as the Winter Games.

Team Renfrew also won the novice girls and boys, and kid girls and boys divisions at the Canada East Wrestling Festival in St. Stephen, N.B. Cobden Public School started up a wrestling team under the RAWC umbrella, and Opeongo High School is expected to do the same in the fall of 2010.

Ladies’ basketball

kenhead’s, to end the first half, propelled them to a 51-24 victory. Sheila Windle led 10 Aikenhead point getters with 14. Crystal Smith led AHCC with nine.

Aikenhead’s dominated Ray’s Flowers early, taking a 12-2 lead to 27-16 by the half.

Aikenhead’s still led 31-21 with 10 minutes remaining. The basket then shrunk for Aikenhead’s. They weren’t able to score another point and could only watch as Ray’s finished off the game with 15

Continued from Page 24 Stacey Hill again led all scorers with 10 points.

Alternative Health Care Clinic caught Aikenhead’s off guard by starting with a man-to-man defence. Their early lead soon dwindled to a deadlock at 11 when Aikenhead’s adjusted. A 17-2 run for Ai-

unanswered points to collect the W. Lisa Blokland, Sarah Bell, and Kathleen Wilson amassed 27 of Ray’s 36 points. Sheila Windle scored 12 for Aikenhead’s.

Mid-Town Flooring outpaced Ray’s 256 in the first 16 minutes and cruised to a 45-26 victory. Sarah Dougherty played a stellar game on both ends of the floor and accounted for 17 points. Lisa Blokland topped Ray’s with 10.

In a battle for third spot, both Ray’s and

Frances Lemke Co-operators struggled offensively in the first half. A little more offence in the second half allowed Ray’s to extend a 13-10 margin to a 34-28 victory.

All nine players hit the score sheet for Ray’s while Janet Goulard led the Co-operators with 10 points.

Although Stacey Hill missed seven free throws, she still scored 11 points in the first half to lead the Reunions to an easy 41-15 victory over Ray’s.

Renfrew Victoria Hospital lab excels in accreditation test An intensive professional review of Renfrew Victoria Hospital’s laboratory has resulted in resounding approval for the quality of the service.

As part of a mandatory accreditation review, assessors for the Ontario Laboratory Accreditation (OLA) program were onsite at the hospital for two days.

They reviewed more

than 450 performance measures in the lab service, and reported that the RVH team exhibited an exceptional 99.6 per cent compliance rate.

“This is an outstanding result,” says hospital CEO Randy Penney.

“It speaks to the dedication of the professionals on staff at our hospital, and even more importantly it speaks to the excellent

quality of service they provide for our patients.”

The RVH lab provides services such as chemistry testing, haematology, transfusion, phlebotomy and point-of-care testing for patients at the hospital.

Approximately 650,000 tests are performed by the lab staff each year.

The 14 employees working in the RVH lab in-

clude medical laboratory technologists and laboratory assistants as well as a medical laboratory director and a medical laboratory consultant contracted from The Ottawa Hospital.

The mandatory accreditation is done under the direction of the Ontario

of the foundation’s second phase of the Courage campaign, which aims to raise $50 million to fill the gaps in cancer patient care across eastern Ontario.

The first round of the campaign raised $20.5 million in 2008, part of which went to a symptom-management program at Renfrew Victoria Hospital.

For more information, visit www.ottawacancer.ca.

A TASTY CONTRIBUTION TO 85TH ANNIVERSARY This cake was created by Julie Cole from Sugar & Spice Custom Cakes and was donated by Olive Wilson of Renfrew, for the Renfrew Presbyterian Church to mark its 85th anniversary. The church was erected in 1925. Wilson has been attending the church since the age of seven and at 92 is the oldest attending member. “It was very important for her to provide something special for the event,” said Cole. She was pleased with how the church replica turned out.

for the services we provide to the people of this area.”

The accreditation team will prepare a full report of the survey, and will issue an accreditation award once their report is complete. The highest level of achievement is a four-year accreditation certificate.

Investigating purebred Jersey animal with Holstein genetics The young woman and the middle age man at the Jersey Ontario booth at the Ottawa Valley Farm Show this spring looked bored.

I was rather surprised that Jersey Ontario, with its headquarters in Guelph, would have a booth at the farm show. How many farmers milk Jerseys today? I looked at the brochures.

There was nothing interesting in it from years gone by. Then I asked the pair if they knew that in the 1950s and 1960s, many Ontario farmers with Jersey and Guernsey breeds had their own little milk marketing kingdom known as the Channel Islands

MAYNARD VAN DER GALIEN RURAL ROUTES Breeds Milk Producers’ Association.

They did not know that. So I gave them a little history lesson.

I don’t know why I did it. It just seemed the pair needed to know some important facts if they were going to promote the Jersey breed.

A group of very aggressive and enthusiastic young milk producers from the Jersey and Guernsey breeds formed the

The pair manning the booth listened but did not ask any questions. The young woman did say, “You learn something every day!”

The Jersey cow is numerically the second largest breed of dairy cattle in the world. Butterfat is five per cent plus.

In the U.S., 95.2 percent of the milk produced comes from Holstein cows. Jersey is the second highest, with 3.8 per cent.

Guernsey, Ayrshire and milking Shorthorns round out the rest.

The colour of Jerseys may vary from a very light gray or mouse colour to a very dark

Channel Island association in 1956. This was 10 years before the formation of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board.

The group aggressively marketed their milk, to the consternation of the Holstein milk producers who had lower-fat milk.

Jersey two per cent milk was marketed as “All Jersey” and the Guernsey milk went by the trademark “Guernsey Gold”.

Sales of Channel Island milk increased, as did the price of Jersey and Guernsey cattle.

Channel Island producers were receiving top price for their milk. Holstein milk shippers were not happy.

fawn or a shade that is almost black.

I had to chuckle when I wrote “almost black” because Jersey Canada is investigating a reported case of a purebred Jersey animal with Holstein genetics. Jersey Canada made a ruling last month that all Canadian Jersey males have a DNA profile before registration will be completed.

And last month a Canadianbred junior champion Guernsey was disqualified at the World Dairy Expo after tests showed she was sired by a red and white Holstein. A lotta cheatin’ was going on and probably has for years. Another history lesson!

COMMUNITY CALENDAR

ART

Another season winding down for the Renfrew Art Guild

DIANA WAKELY

Renfrew Art Guild

It is that time of year when everything winds down. The kids in school are counting the days, the teachers are counting the minutes. Most clubs or social groups put an end to the regular monthly meetings. The same is true for the Renfrew Art Guild.

We meet on the first Tuesday

of the month except in the summer. Everyone is tied up at cottages or vacations. Some even get outside to paint.

We will reconvene on Sept. 7.

It has been an interesting year with new members joining us. I often talk of the diversity of the group and again this year all of a sudden we have four members who specialize in pencil.

One of them, Shirley Ann

Cone, demonstrated coloured pencil and the delicate application of colour.

Using acrylic ink, photo paper and free expression Sheila Cosentino showed how to have fun. We also saw how an artist in one hour can put together a wonderful oil painting with a palette knife. Dwyene MacNabb did that for us. Leslie Cross showed us how to make wonder-

ful pendants with glass. Basil Pessin took us through the steps of layering of programs in digital art and made us realize it is not as easy as we thought.

We had a wonderful demonstration of a sculpting material called Pavervol that excited everyone. So if you are interested in learning something new and touching base with other artists, RAG is for you.

Our last meeting for the season will be June 1 at 7 p.m. at Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church, Renfrew at 291 Plaunt St. Please use the Quarry entrance. Everyone is welcome.

We are asking everyone to bring their latest project so everyone can enjoy along with coffee and treats. If you would like more information, please call Diana at 613-433-3635.

1910: Hospitable tennis in Renfrew MAY 24, 1910

BOUGHT PROPERTY: Mr. Peter D. Stewart has purchased from Mr. P.S. Stewart the residence opposite the Model School occupied by Mr. Alfred Plaunt, who has removed to the McEwen house on Prince Street, but may build on his own land on Hall Street.

THE TENNIS CLUB: A very enjoyable afternoon was spent by the members of the Renfrew Lawn Tennis Club, last Saturday, on the occasion of the formal opening of their pretty courts in Mr. McAndrew’s grounds. Some interesting matches were played including several mixed doubles, and a most delectable tea was, by the kindness of the ladies, served to the 50 or 60 guests who availed themselves of the club’s hospitality. The tea table was prettily decorated with cut flowers and greens, making a charming effect, and the ladies in charge were indefatigable in their hospitality. A small impromptu dance, given by Mrs. Greentree, made a very pleasant termination to a thoroughly enjoyable day.

MAY 23, 1935 MUSICAL TRAVELOGUE IN TRINITY AUDITORIUM: A musical travelogue entitled Here and There in the Old Country was presented last Friday evening by Walter L. Payne and Harold Eustace Key in the form of lantern slides and motion pictures. The travelogue was under the auspices of the local Mason lodge. Trinity Auditorium, where the travelogue was presented was filled, the seating capacity being inadequate and quite a few people had to stand. Dr. Murphy introduced Mr. Payne and Mr. Key and thanked the people for such a good turnout. The pictures presented showed most of the historical places in the Old Country, as well as many other interesting scenes including many pictures of the royal family.

FROM THE OLD FILES Renfrew, by young people at the United Church, was carried by the same troupe to Beachburg on Friday evening last.

Though the hall used there was limited in dimensions, and amateur dramatic performances have been somewhat numerous in the land, attendance was good.

Fregquent applause gave evidence of the audience’s appreciation.

MAY 27, 1970 AMBULANCE SERVICE GROUP FORMED: A meeting was held at Renfrew Victoria Hospital to form an Association of Ambulance Services in the Ottawa Valley. The meeting was attended by delegates from ambulance services in Pembroke, Renfrew, Arnprior and Smiths Falls. Officers elected were Mr. W. Jolicoeur Renfrew, president, Mr. R. Dalgleish, Smiths Falls, vice president, and Mr. M. Dorwood, Renfrew secretary treasurer. The aim of the United Ambulance Services of the Ottawa Valley is to improve ambulance service in the Valley by co-operation, mutual training and close friendships with all ambulance personnel.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY PREPARES MUSEUM: The Renfrew and District Historical Society has been busy preparing the museum for opening on June 6. Through June the plan is for weekend opening and

by July to open daily. Many new articles have been contributed and will be on display. The executive under direction of Mrs. Marie Henderson, has arrangements made to pick up articles of museum interest. A phone call is all that is necessary.

Volunteer workers, society members and others are urged to offer their services.

Please find me a home Each week we feature animals from the Arnprior and District Humane Society that are up for adoption.

# 3696 Thumper and Buttercup # 3697 Thumper and Buttercup, two great cats, were brought to the shelter to find a new home after a family member developed severe allergies. Thumper is a large, 11-year-old neutered and declawed male. Buttercup is a short-haired, six-year-old, spayed female. They have been companions for the past four years, and the shelter would like to see them adopted together and would be willing to reduce the adoption fee for the right home. They are affectionate, friendly cats who love attention. They are both very clean and quiet. Thumper and Buttercup would be best suited in a quiet home where they will be kept as strictly indoor cats. This adorable pair came from a home where they were loved very much so Thumper and Buttercup are scared, confused and missing their family. Please consider taking them out of the shelter and into your heart and home.

Supplies the shelter needs are bleach, liquid laundry soap, Whiskas Meaty Selections cat food, dog rawhides and chewies.

You can call the Arnprior and District Humane Society at 613-623-0916 between noon and 5 p.m Monday to Saturday or visit www.arnpriorhumanesociety.ca

HERITAGE

NATURE

Northern Harrier nesting in area We received the following email from Paul Plazek.

I was very recently walking with two of my children through a dried out wetland next to a pond/ wetland area. The grass in the drier area was knee-length with lots of old woody weeds sticking up. We got the scare of our lives when a loud swoosh engulfed us.

I turned to see what looked like a hawk-shaped bird flying away from us. It had a fan-shaped tail that had brown and white stripes underneath. The wings were large and slightly rounded.

The nest was made of twigs and lined with feathers. We just about stepped on the six to eight chickensized eggs in the bottom of the nest. The eggs were creamy white with lots of brown spots. We waited about 10-15 minutes and did not see the bird return to the nest.

Paul: The bird was a female northern harrier. Harriers are the only large, hawk-like bird that normally nests on the ground in our area. The eggs, chicken-sized with lots of brown spots, are characteristic of the species.

She would not return to the nest while you were in the area.

Only after you and the children were well away (several hundred yards) would she return to her eggs.

BOBOLINK IN PERIL The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) has recommended that bobolink be added to Canada’s list of species at risk.

Last assessed by COSEWIC 10 years ago, the dwindling numbers of bobolink was of concern to the committee. Bobolinks are threatened, owing to population declines stemming from habitat loss, intensive agricultural practices, predation by ring-billed gulls and pesticide spraying on their winter range.

BETTER NEWS Jack and Jane Clark report two pair of bobolinks nesting at their farm on Mount St. Patrick. The birds have been nesting at the Clark farm for many years and were plentiful until recently. Jack says the return of the birds this year is a welcome sight.

In loving memory of our dear Husband, Father, and Bompei

A garden of beautiful memories Sprayed with a million tears

God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be, He closed his arms around you And whispered “Come with me” In tears we saw you sinking, We watched you fade away Our hearts were almost broken You fought so hard to stay.

But when me saw you sleeping, Peacefully from pain, We could not wish you back again, To suffer so again.

So keep your arms around him Lord, And give him special care, Make up for all he suffered, And all that seemed unfair.

Gone but not forgotten Love, Della, Chad & Debbie, Tammy & Rob, Franky & Amy, Alleshia, Rylie, Reagon and Makoy

Silvia Gagne

KELLY (Merchand)

Your smile has gone forever, And your hand we cannot touch, We have so many memories, Of you Mom, we loved so much.

If we could have one lifetime wish, One dream that could come true, We’d ask with all our hearts, For yesterday and you.

Always in our thoughts, Love your husband John and Todd, Cheryl, Scott and Trina

IN MEMORIAM

We remember you in silence And make no outward show, And what it meant to lose you, No one will ever know Forever in our thoughts, Your family.

Eldon Parent In loving memory of a dear brother and uncle who passed away April 11, 1990 Till memory fades and life departs, You will live forever in our hearts.

Your family.

To my dear wife, Mary Ann, who passed away 15 years ago, May 29, 1995.

It broke my heart to lose you, But you didn’t go alone, Because part of me went with you, The day God called you Home.

Love always and forever, Paddy, Cordell, KELLY Jamie and Shawnalee In loving memory of my cousin Marion, who passed away May 29, 1995.

Time changes many things but love & memory ever clings.

When thoughts go back, As they often do, I treasure the memories, I have of you.

This day is remembered and quietly kept, No words are needed, For I will never forget.

For deep in my heart, You will always stay, Loved and remembered, Each and every day.
