Trudeau wows ’em

FUNDRAISER FOR FAMILY A small handful of Renfrewarea residents is organizing a fundraiser for the Popplewell family, following the recent death of Carol-Anne Brunet, 54, and her brother, Wayne Popplewell, 51.

The fundraiser is scheduled for 7 p.m. to midnight Thursday, July 8, at the Renfrew Royal Canadian Legion.

Brunet was the May 31 homicide victim in a Renfrew apartment building, while her brother died in an unrelated incident June 4.

“The idea is to raise funds following their hardship and for expenses from the funerals,” said David Landriault, one of the event organizers.

There will be refreshments supplied by volunteers, musical entertainment, draw prizes and a 50-50 draw. There will also be donation jars for personal contributions.

“It’s to put a happier ending to such a sad story,” said Landriault. For more details, call 613-432-9972 or 433-9965.

Several family members are expected to attend the fundraiser, including Brunet’s children, siblings and mother.

“The family’s grateful that the community has pulled together to support us,” said Brunet’s daughter, Stephanie Brunet.

His dad, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, attracted huge audiences. He was one of Canada’s most popular prime ministers, but he also attracted opposition for other decisions, like his evoking of the War Measures Act during the October 1970 FLQ Crisis.

Justin Trudeau wasn’t alive then, but he has gone on to become a teacher, a father, a politician, as well as an appealing speaker.

He was certainly the latter June 10 in Renfrew.

Murder trial for Jamieson adjourned to July 21 STEVE NEWMAN

steve.newman@metroland.com

The homicide case involving Dugald Barr Jamieson, 47, who is charged with first-degree murder and breach of probation, has been adjourned to July 21 in provincial court.

Jamieson, 47, is charged following the

death of Carol-Anne Brunet, 54. She was found dead in her Renfrew apartment at 236 Hall Ave. May 31.

It’s possible the case will also be adjourned again July 21, says Crown Attorney Jason Nicol.

June 8, at provincial court in Renfrew, Jamieson appeared before Justice Jane Wilson, who adjourned the case, in the presence of

assistant Crown Attorney Lisa Hawley and lawyer Sharon Anderson-Olmstead.

“Hopefully, we’ll have some sort of disclosure for the defence counsel (on July 21),” said Hawley. At that time, visiting Justice Robert Selkirk is scheduled to preside over provincial court.

Jamieson is in custody at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre.

Agreement: noise control committee needs to get in gear STEVE NEWMAN

torcycle noise has been of particular concern to several township resisteve.newman@metroland.com dents.

The township’s efforts to amend its After two years on the Greater Madawaska Township’s environmental noise committee (ENC), noise-control bylaw, said Somppi, have David Somppi says progress has been irritatingly slow.

He and fellow ENC member Mark Gallivan appeared before the township council’s committee of the whole June 10 to express their concerns, and to suggest solutions.

It appears the township will make moves in that direction at today’s (June 17) council meeting, so Greater Madawaska can adopt an amended noise bylaw sooner rather than later.

The six-member committee is chaired by Reeve Peter Emon, who acknowledged it has been difficult to schedule regular meetings because of committee members’ other commitments.

ENC membership is completed by Coun. John Pratt, plus representatives from Calabogie MotorSports Park and the Calabogie and Area Business Association.

The focus of the presentation by Somppi and Gallivan was on criticism of ENC, but specifically about the need to change township regulations so that all council members review special-event permits for Calabogie MotorSports Park and other applicants before they’re issued or denied.

Somppi indicated two special-event permits, which allow noise levels to be higher during special events, were recently granted (May 27) by chief administrative officer Angela Yolkowskie. Those events are scheduled to take place June 26-27 and July 22-25.

Somppi indicated during his presentation to council that he has spent a great deal of time reviewing noise-control bylaws around the province, and that a page or two could be borrowed from some of them for the betterment of noise control in Greater Madawaska. He suggested the City of Waterloo’s noise control measures, with some modification, could work just fine in Greater Madawaska.

Whatever the noise bylaw, he said all components need to be enforced.

In a memo to council after the meeting, Somppi reiterated his major points: • council needs to implement a new administrative policy that requires the CAO to inform council when a special-event application is received; • the general public should be afforded an opportunity to review the application and provide comments to council before council’s decision; • council “can and should revoke the existing (special-event) events and subject them to” the above administrative policy; • costs for monitoring or auditing sound levels at the track should be paid for by Calabogie MotorSports Park, not by the township; • the Ministry of the Environment’s noise-pollution control documents shall include adjustments for tonality. Somppi noted that the tonality of mo-

been impeded by a slow-moving ENC that he said has “been dysfunctional at best” and featured spotty minute-taking. Council members didn’t disagree.

Coun. John Pratt, who is a member

of ENC, said he has asked for progress a number of times. Speaking to Somppi, he said, “I’m as disappointed as you are.”

Gifted speaker leaves favourable impression Trudeau, 34, received a positive response from the student body at Renfrew Collegiate Institute. And he received more of the same that morning from a group of about 100 people attending the annual general meeting of the Phoenix Centre, at the Best Western Renfrew Inn. The irony of today’s society, said the parent of two young children and the Liberal MP in the Quebec riding of Papineau, is that the 24-hour news cycle has not empowered people, especially youth. Often, he says youth feel overwhelmed, disempowered and unimportant, largely because of the size of today’s global society.

Standing in the Best Western’s conference room wearing a grey suit, tieless white shirt and sockless shoes, he said today’s challenges aren’t small.

The Liberal Party’s opposition critic for youth and multiculturalism, said: “We are facing a planet that is challenged on a scale and (is) a type we’ve never had to deal with before.”

The global sense of society is underlined, he said, by the reality of knowing one’s underwear comes from Malaysia, lithium batteries from Tibet and juice from South America.

And the future isn’t necessarily as bright for today’s youth as it was for the previous generations of young people, he argued, meaning we may have to rethink what we take for granted.

At the same time, he said the world needs people who act, react, and pro-act with long-term activities in mind that will help the world.

As we look at everything

changing around us, Trudeau said “we need to avail ourselves of the dreamers … who aren’t afraid of challenge … who aren’t caught in their comfortable rut (like many adults).”

He acknowledges young people haven’t figured our their groove yet, but suggested they might not if older members of society don’t start showing youth that they matter.

He says young people get a bad rap for being disconnected and cynical, and admits they are from time to time.

THEIR VOICE ISN’T HEARD But he says they’re also frustrated because their voice isn’t heard. Is it any wonder, said Trudeau, that young people aren’t much interested in politics, that only one in five in the 18-to-25 age category, actually vote?

That’s not their fault, insisted Trudeau.

“When I talk to young people, it’s very clear the fault doesn’t lie with them, but the fault lies with politics, with politicians.”

The reality, added Trudeau, is that we can’t “cookie-cutter our kids anymore … that the paths to contributing to society are going to be so varied and so unique to every individual.”

Furthermore, Trudeau emphasized that being a consumer doesn’t necessarily make one a productive member of society.

“A productive member of society,” he insisted, “is someone who creates … is someone who has things to offer that go beyond the products that we have to sell or buy.”

And why not have those things

come from all citizens, including youth, since “our greatest resource is the hearts and minds of Canadians themselves.”

“We will,” he added, “only succeed if we manage to draw the very best out of every single individual.”

That comes with the help of good parents. When asked whether his father’s iconic reputation was empowering or disempowering on him, the guest speaker didn’t miss a beat.

PRESSURES, FOR SURE Demonstrating a sense of humour, he said there are pressures because of his dad, “but it really depends on where I go,” because in some places people have unbelievably low expectations.

To which he added: “The one thing I will be eternally grateful to my parents for is both of them were very well focused on giving me the tools to be the best me … My father never expected me to go into politics.

My mother prayed most of her life I would never go into politics.”

Now that he has, he said, “There has to be a legitimate and serious mechanism whereby young people get a voice.”

One of the students in the audience, Aleck Charkavi of Pembroke, said he found Trudeau’s talk “inspirational”.

“I get what he’s saying because I understand when he talks to us.

He doesn’t talk to us like lowerclass people.”

More importantly, the 17-yearold, who is toying between the careers of poet and physiotherapist, said Trudeau’s talk told him that “I shouldn’t try to be

Renfrew resident running for trustee of Renfrew County Catholic school board STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Bruce McIntyre of Renfrew is running for trustee of the Renfrew Catholic District School Board.

After filing his nomination papers in Renfrew last Friday, he said he wants to have a voice on a board that he says has been less than transparent on certain issues, particularly the staggered-bells transportation system that is being introduced to Renfrew schools this fall. The same two-tiered transportation system for elementary and high school students was introduced to the larger urban areas of the county this year.

“I want to be involved in my children’s education,” said McIntyre. He and wife Karen are parents of three children who attend Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School.

He is also the media relations-grants coordinator for the County of Renfrew and a long-standing foster parent.

“I can get on the sidelines and point fingers, or I can be directly involved,” he told the Mercury.

He says far too many organizations with voices were not listened to before the board decided, along with the public board, to adopt staggered bells in this area. Alluding to day-care providers, parents, advocacy groups and such organizations as the Pembroke boys and girls club, he said he’s “disappointed all those voices were not

Bruce McIntyre listened to.

“I have yet to meet one parent who said this is a wonderful idea, and numerous (municipal) councils came out against staggered bells.”

He also noted the County of Renfrew asked for input on the matter, but received no response from either school board.

In a news release Friday, McIntyre also expressed concerns about the recent handling of proposed and “radical” changes to sex education in elementary schools.

“As a parent,” he said, “I was shocked at the idea of my children being ex-

posed to graphic sexual depictions at such a young and impressionable age.

“I believe that trustees should lead by example and be clear in their convictions. It is my intention to be accountable, transparent and show clear leadership in order to maintain a high standard of education in a rural setting like the County of Renfrew.”

He also said the current trustees “have provided good administrative skills, and I recognize their contributions and personal sacrifices to helping our community … However, I think I can bring a bit more to the table in terms of innovation, new ideas and direct involvement due to my children being enrolled in elementary school.

“Education in rural Ontario is constantly being undermined by some urban policies coming out of Toronto, and I intend to stand up for rural Ontario and challenge the policies that threaten the unique culture of rural education in the Catholic school system.”

McIntyre said his past community participation has included Renfrew Public Library board member, president for the Renfrew chapter of the Kinsmen Club, director with Family and Children’s Services and the Upper Ottawa Valley Chamber of Commerce, and volunteer work with Cogeco-TV and Valley Heritage Radio.

The current local trustee is Anne Smith. The Catholic board chair is Andy Bray of Braeside.

New principals appointed for Arnprior schools JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

Both Arnprior Catholic elementary schools will have new principals Sept.

1.

The Renfrew County Catholic District School Board recently announced that Mary-Lise Rowat will become the new principal at St. Joseph’s and Heidi Robinson is taking over at John XXIII. Rowat has been principal of St. Joseph’s Catholic School in Calabogie for the past several years. She has been a teacher, department head and viceprincipal at St. Joseph’s High School in Renfrew in the past decade.

She has also been principal of the New Horizons and Valleycrest Programs.

Rowat holds a Master of Education from the University of Ottawa. She has specialist qualifications in special education.

“Mary-Lise fosters positive relationships with all stakeholders,” said Arnprior-McNab-Braeside-CalabogieTrustee Andy Bray. “The St. Joseph’s, Arnprior community will benefit from her many strengths.”

Rowat is an active Eucharistic Minister and catechist at St. Francis Xavier Parish in Renfrew. She and her husband David have three children.

The board announced last month that St. Joe’s principal Christina Brown, who has been at the school since Sept. 1, 2006, will become principal of Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School in Petawawa this September.

Rowat succeeded Sondra Keatley as principal in Calabogie when she moved to John XXIII in Arnprior. Keatley replaced Myles Sabourin, who also came to John XXIII from St. Joseph’s School in Calabogie.

Keatley is retiring and will be replaced Sept. 1 by her vice-principal

Heidi Robinson. Like Rowat, Robinson served a stint as vice-principal at St. Joseph’s High School in Renfrew.

Since joining the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board in 2000, Robinson has been a teacher and viceprincipal at the elementary level as well the high school. Most recently, she has been the assistant to the director of education.

Robinson holds a master of education degree from the University of Ottawa.

“Ms. Robinson is an effective and organized leader who nurtures the giftedness, self-worth and potential of each individual,” said Bray.

Robinson is a eucharistic minister and co-leader of the parish book club at St. Francis of Xavier Parish in Renfrew.

She is also an active recreational enthusiast who enjoys competitive ringette in Ottawa.

1910: Marble quarry at Calabogie JUNE 17, 1910 PURE WHITE MARBLE DISCOVERED IN TOWNSHIP OF BLYTHFIELD: Mr. Joseph Legree, of the firm of Devine and Legree, hardware merchants of Renfrew, has just returned from Calabogie, where he is interested in a marble property, along with Messrs. James and William Legree of the township of Blythfield.

Mr. Legree states that they have a valuable marble quarry, containing 300 acres, where there is pure white marble in large quantities. This being the only deposit of white marble in this county, no doubt it will be considerable of a boon for Calabogie, there being abundant water power on the Madawaska river and also near the K&P railway, for cutting it up and working it into commercial shape. American capitalists are already interested and shortly the work will be under the management of a large company.

THE NEW CLERK TREASURER: Mr. Arthur T. Lawson, the new clerk-treasurer of the town, arrived in Renfrew on Wednesday afternoon, and before nightfall had seen most of the place from Barr’s Hill to the CPR tracks; sizing it up as containing the best features of Cobourg and Port Hope — two central Ontario towns with which he is familiar. Thursday morning, Mr. Lawson commenced work on the waterworks branch of the town accounts, making some tabulations for the finance committee. Mrs. Lawson and her three sons, now visiting Port Hope and friends will follow in a few days time.

Some Mercury subscribers who have been, for a number of years, out of town, may not know that the garage occupies what was the site of the John Smith (Tanner) home; a substantial old residence of former days.

Coun. Don Mercer said he was “P.O.ed” about the committee’s lack of progress and that “the process has to be changed, or modified, or improved … We have to get a solution to the process of spinning wheels.”

Pratt concluded: “We have some work to do.”

“No kidding,” added Mercer.

Mercer suggested council members should receive special-permit applications, from CMP or other parties, within 48 hours.

To which Coun. Tom Ryan remarked: “Council’s just avoiding its responsibility by passing their duty (on these applications) over to the CAO.”

FROM THE OLD FILES NEW PITCHER FOR BASEBALL TEAM: Jack Patchens, a pitcher whom Renfrew had booked earlier in the season arrived in town from Detroit the first of the week, whereby the Renfrew club now has a string of four hurlers, two right handers and two south paws – Johnston and Patchens, Rice and Roach. Improved pitching talent and better work by the batters are combining to give Renfrew a higher standing in the league.

JUNE 17, 1970 RENFREW GETS $21,000 GRANT: Renfrew has become the newest member of mining communities in Ontario, and will receive a grant in the neighbourhood of $21,000. Mayor Howard Haramis told the Advance June 13 he received a letter from Darcy McKeough, minister of Municipal Affairs making the announcement official. Mayor Haramis commented that this decision is very good for Renfrew. The full effect of the designation will be especially noticed next year he said. A similar announcement was made at the committee of the whole meeting June 15.

ROTARY BOOSTS ANTI-LITTER: The removal of litter from Renfrew streets will be part of a writing competition by students of six primary schools in the area.

Sponsored by the Renfrew Rotary Club, students will help clean up the town by removing litter. Once this is completed, they will write their impressions of what they accomplished. Each school will pick one winning entry which will be judged by the Rotary Club. Prizes of $15, $10 and $5 will be awarded to the top three essays respectively. Rotarian Murray Chown informs that all entries are due by the end of the week.

Barbara Taylor, who was among more than a dozen local residents to attend the June 10 council meeting, said, “I can’t believe it has taken almost two years to have a (noise) bylaw reworked.”

She said such action at a corporate level would have signalled trouble long ago.

Several items are to be considered before the township’s noise bylaw is changed, says Emon.

These, said the reeve, include feelings within the community that a noise is needed to control noise from CMP; that a noise bylaw might limit the use of such every-day tools as lawnmowers; and that there should be a provincial offences fines structure for multiple noise infractions.

OPINION EDITORIAL

Doctors, oh doctors, do come T here is a huge irony in the latest statistics from the Ontario Medical Association (OMA). A huge, huge irony, given the growing lack of family physicians in the Renfrew area.

Despite the glowing reputation of the Renfrew Victoria Hospital, family doctors are not exactly flocking to the area. Meanwhile, the OMA says more doctors are working in the province than a few years ago, and more patients than ever are receiving care.

Since 2008, some 600,000 patients who didn’t have access to a family doctor now do, announced the OMA last week.

In the news release, OMA president Dr. Mark MacLeod said the organization is proud of the achievement and will continue to do its part “to ensure everyone in the province has access to a family doctor.

“There has been some great progress with the recruitment and retention of doctors to Ontario, which is good news for patients and our health care system, but we know there is more work to do.”

The OMA says 2,000 more doctors are practising in Ontario than in 2004, and that the number of medical grads choosing family

medicine has grown from 27 per cent in 2003 to 41 per cent in 2009.

Therefore, it’s hard to see why the area wouldn’t be a good fit for many doctors.

One of Canada’s five largest cities is less than an hour away, and living in the Renfrew area provides residents access to urban and rural lifestyles.

But it’s a more complicated formula than that, as locals involved with physician recruitment have learned the hard way.

“The flag that has to be waved is the hospital,” says Peter Emon of the Renfrew and area health services committee that’s spearheading the local doctor-recruitment model.

Too often rural areas are given a bad rap for not having readily-accessible support services for doctors. But that’s not the case here, because of Renfrew Victoria Hospital, says Emon.

He says doctors considering coming to the area need to see they’re not going to be overwhelmed, partly because they’ll receive support services and access to specialists through the hospital.

So, doc, come on down. You’ll like this place. You really will.

Seeing the world inside and outside the centre of the universe I’d never move to Toronto, even if I was offered many times my current salary. It’s not any one thing, but the negatives include the homeless, the smells and the proliferation of buildings at the expense of green space.

But before you think I’m about to trash the big T.O., think again. For there’s something worldly and intoxicating about Toronto, especially if you’re staying along the Yonge Street corridor.

There for just a day, as I was recently, still took me on a voyage.

I’d never been to Ethiopia or Bahrain, but I got a small taste of each of those distant lands while in Canada’s largest city.

On the ride to a journalism awards ceremony, the Ethiopian taxi driver and I exchanged observations about some of his homeland’s world-class distance runners over the decades, namely Abeke Bikila, Mamo Wolde and Haile Gebrselassie. He missed his homeland, but he was also miles away making a living instead of facing likely hunger and other obstacles in a drought-ridden land.

But making such international connections shouldn’t be all that surprising,

The occasions were the annual Telegram Maple Leaf Indoor Games, as Dave Wottle, Willie Davenport, Wladyslaw Kozakiewicz, Rosemarie Ackermann, Greg Joy and Irena Szewinska were just a few of the world’s best track and field athletes who competed at the Maple Leaf Gardens.

A few blocks away, I sat at a local restaurant talking to a general surgeon from Bahrain. He speaks several languages, including Arabic and Czech; but he speaks to me in English, shares his Bruschetta as I await my meal, and says he’s never met an unkind Canadian.

Later that night, I’m a block or so away, hearing the music and dancers and walking by vendors whose signs include this one: Farmers Feed Cities. Such a slogan is fittingly embraced in Renfrew County and other rural ridings, so I read the label on the $9 pies, which says they’re made in Embro, Ontario.

I ask where that is and one of the vendors says she doesn’t know. She quickly reminds me there’s a lot of goodies to choose from, but I walk on. I support the 100-mile diet and local producers, but not when they don’t know whom they’re supporting.

down and his daughter and former wife are in trouble, and he needs $12.80 to complete his bus fare, so he can reach them in Niagara Falls. Unlikely story, but after not supporting any open hats or hands on Yonge Street that evening, I open my wallet and hand him $13.

Early the next morning, I’m out for a short run. Not two minutes into my run, I pass several homeless people. They include one man curled into a ball, with no blanket, and sleeping on a median just south of city hall.

The world sure is different there. But it’s different where I live, too.

Two days later, I’m back home when I’m awakened about 3 a.m. A cow has been bawling in the field, so my wife and I head out with a flashlight. Moments later, we direct an isolated calf to the other field, where mom awaits. Meanwhile, a few kilometres away, wolves talk up an apparent kill with an orchestra of howling. Overhead, a blanket of thousands of stars sparkle.

Yes, they are different sights and sounds than in Toronto. But all of them, both here and there, widen our sense of what the world has to offer.

LETTER

Airth Boulevard safety concerns To the editor: As a resident living on Airth Boulevard in the Town of Renfrew, I have noticed a severe safety concern at the intersection of Airth Boulevard and Opeongo Road. The intersection does have a yield sign at the end of Airth in order to turn east or west onto Opeongo Road.

As a teenager, and someone who enjoys walking in the area, I have begun to notice a few safety concerns for the people driving and walking near the intersection. These concerns include the yield sign which at some points in the year is covered by shrubs, and overall is a sign that is not paid too much attention. Also, drivers are failing to pay attention to the traffic coming off of Opeongo Road.

If there was to be an accident at the intersection, whether it involved vehicles or pedestrians, the Town of Renfrew might be liable for failing to clear the shrubs around the sign, or for not making the sign more noticeable.

I would like to make two recommendations to the Town of Renfrew.

First, I would recommend the Town of Renfrew change the yield sign currently in place to a stop sign. A majority of drivers fail to yield, especially if they are turning right. Also, Opeongo Road does have two steep hills in both directions.

Vehicles coming from both directions may be hard to notice if a driver does not come to a complete stop at the intersection.

Drivers who fail to come to a complete stop at Airth Boulevard may find themselves in one hectic situation if a vehicle is coming down the Opeongo. Since there are no sidewalks at Airth near Opeongo, drivers need to yield to pedestrians crossing the street. Drivers are failing to yield to pedestrians.

A stop sign would force drivers to make a complete stop.

My second recommendation is the Town of Renfrew maintain the shrubs near the sign so the sign is completely visible to all drivers.

If the Town of Renfrew does not listen to these recommendations, they may find themselves paying more money than what it would cost to replace the sign and maintain the area.

Yours truly, Dustin J. Garron Renfrew

Aggressive ruffed grouse sets the limits Doug Pilgrim has a male Ruffed Grouse that is convinced he can do battle with Doug’s half-ton truck. The bird does not show any aggression when members of the Pilgrim family are walking in the yard, but when Doug starts his truck the bird becomes aggressive and attacks the truck’s windows.

There is no doubt the grouse has declared the Pilgrim front yard his territory and the truck a rival for the affection of any female grouse in the area. It is very possible the sound of the truck’s exhaust causes the male to strike the vehicle.

When idling, the sound of the exhaust, although not a good imitation of a drumming grouse, is close enough to cause the resident bird to become agitated and attempt to drive its rival, the truck, away.

The grouse will continue to protect his territory until the nesting season is over.

NO STARLINGS THIS YEAR Joanne Pratt has been delivering mail in the Queen’s Line/Foresters Falls area for several years and this is the first year that starlings have nested in only one mail box. Up to seven of the boxes have had nests in them in previous years. She asked other mail carriers and they too have noticed that the starlings are not nesting in the mail boxes.

The boxes have not been altered in any way but the birds are still not using them. A reason for the behavior is yet to be found.

Chris and Joanne Suiter have a great blue heron visiting their boat dock on the Ottawa River each day in search of food. The young herons will have hatched by now and their ferocious appetites must be satisfied. The birds have very definite territories and other herons are not allowed to enter the fishing spots.

Marg Fillitor has a pair of American bitterns nesting in a wet area near their home. The birds are very slow to react to intruders and would rather hide than fly.

Their plumage matches the surrounding vegetation and the birds are almost impossible to see among the tall reeds. Their throat feathers look like reeds and the birds will slowly move to appear like reeds moving in the wind.

In one area of Ontario 11 nests were found within a 25-foot area.

First Father’s Day honoured widowed farmer Father’s Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June in 55 countries and on other days elsewhere.

Father’s Day got its start back in 1910 when a young woman in Spokane, Wash., thought it was a good idea to honour fathers.

William Jackson Smart was a farmer who along with his wife raised their six children on a farm in Washington State. When his wife died while giving birth to their sixth child, William raised the children by himself.

William, as many fathers do, worked tirelessly, seldom complaining, to keep the family together. Daughter Sonora wanted to honour him and all fathers like him. She spoke to the minister of the church they attended and told him of her idea.

She originally picked June 5 to celebrate Father’s Day since it was her father’s birthday. But there wasn’t enough time to organize the event so quickly, so they settled on the third Sunday of June.

It took many years to make the holiday official. Except for the churches

see and talk to every day.

Which brings to mind the following story.

A man comes home tired after work to find his six-year-old son at the door with a question. The boy wanted to know how much money he made an hour. The father was angry and said it was none of his business. After thinking about it, the father told the boy he made $25 an hour. The boy asked if he could borrow $10. The man sent the lad to his room, saying he was only interested in buying toys. But after a while the father relented, went to the boy’s room and gave him the $10.

The boy was happy. He pulled out three rumpled up five-dollar bills from under his pillow and told his dad he now had $25.

He gave them to his father and asked if he could come home early tomorrow and have supper with him.

The father was in tears as he gave the money back. He put his arm around his son and said he’d be home for supper.

Have a happy Father’s Day!

Maria H. Thompson with her book, Unexpected Gifts.

Poems ‘unexpected gifts’ JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

If her new book brings as many ‘unexpected gifts’ to her readers as it has to her, Maria Thompson will be delighted.

The award-winning Renfrew area poet feels empowered by the publishing of her first book, Unexpected Gifts, and wants her readers to feel the same way. Her poems promote self-awareness and an appreciation of life.

“I’m very excited ... it’s a wonderful feeling of accomplishment,” she says of the arrival of the book. She has had poems published in various anthologies and won several awards, but this is her first book of her own.

Unexpected Gifts, which features 100 poems in its 172 pages, is illustrated by Kingston artist Joanne Gervais.

The book has hardcover and paperback versions and is available at Chapters, Coles and the Arnprior Book Store, as well as on-line.

Thompson reports she has received many positive comments about Unexpected Gifts. People can relate to the poems because they are heartfelt and bring insight to memories and experiences that “we’ve all shared,” she says.

The poems have given her a new perspective and understanding of life and can help others find meaning and purpose in their lives too, she adds.

“I used to think there were only hatred, bigotry and violence,” but expressing herself in her poetry has made her look beyond the surface and find inner beauty in herself and the world.

“That’s why I wrote the book ... because there’s beauty everywhere.

“I’ve found the process to be very cleansing,” she adds. “I really needed to know what was deep in my soul. This (book) is the outcome. It’s a book of hope and forgiveness.”

Thompson says expressing her pain and passion in printed words has taught her to be a better person.

Good poetry, which she calls music of the soul, should send a

TELL YOUR STORY She encourages others to tell their stories by pouring out their souls through poetry. “Everyone’s got soul ... let it out. It will bring clarity to your life.”

“You need to be passionate about life ... if not you are truly missing out.”

By rejoicing in the life you’re granted, you can leave your own legacy of “unexpected gifts,” Thompson says.

Thompson is donating copies of Unexpected Gifts to RCI and St. Joseph’s high schools in the hope it will encourage more youth to express themselves through poetry. “There are a lot of really talented students ... who should be sharing their talents by writing poems and giving poetry readings,” she says.

As well, she wants to promote awareness in this age of computers the value of books.

“They are the quietest and most constant of friends and the most patient of teachers,” she says.

Thompson, who anticipates having a second book of poetry ready for publishing by Christmas, is also writing a novel, Daughter of an Immigrant, which will tell the life of her father, a Second World War veteran.

message, she adds. “I would hope it would help people recognize and appreciate” such unexpected gifts as laughter and forgiveness.

Some of the things she’s learned in writing poetry are that love is the only true adrenaline in life, people need to be more kind to themselves and have faith in their abilities, and you have to “shed the heaviness of the past” to live the present to the fullest.

Her poems also stress it is important to honour children, cherish time with family and don’t make life more complicated than it needs to be. Also, respect the brave members of the military facing down danger on our behalf around the world, she adds.

Decades of experience combine to make a brighter future

The landscape of Renfrew is about to change dramatically, and the pioneers of this change are two very well known Renfrew businesses. Ottawa Valley Glass has supplied residential and commercial customers with quality products for the past 32 years. Their latest venture has taken them into the solar photovoltaic (PV) market. They have seen the future for solar as an alternative energy generator as well as being a financially rewarding investment for home owners and businesses alike.

Charles Briscoe Holdings Ltd., consisting of well known businessman Charlie Briscoe and his two sons James and Christopher, have seen the future as well.

They have chosen solar energy as a wise investment and a way to reduce their carbon footprint in an ever increasing environmentally conscious society.

Charlie (former owner of Briscoe’s IGA, a landmark in downtown Renfrew) and his family were very excited about entering the emerging solar market. Charlie has always been an advocate of the phrase ‘deal locally/buy locally’, as did so many of his customers over the years.

When Charlie began researching the MicroFit program, he was excited to learn that he would be able to deal with a local company, Ottawa Valley Glass, that had a long standing reputation for quality and service. Charlie’s latest investment, a 10 kw solar system, has been installed at his Barnet Boulevard storage facility.

The storage facility is conveniently located right next door to Ottawa Valley Glass.

These two companies had the foresight to recognize and seize the opportunity to make not only a strong environmental statement but also the financial opportunity within the recently enacted Ontario Green Energy Act. This program provides an avenue for residential and commercial customers to produce power from the sun and sell it

back to the grid through the feed in tariff (FIT) program and the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) at substantially attractive rates. Under the FIT program producers are eligible to receive payments from their local utility that range between 44 and 80.2 cents per kilowatt.

The MicroFIT program is the most lucrative investment which pays 80.2 cents per kilowatt produced.

Specific criteria must be met in order to be eligible for a 20 year contract with the OPA. The most interesting clause within the FIT and MicroFIT programs involves having a minimum of 50 per cent Ontario content.

With the downturn in the manufacturing economy over the last couple of years, this Ontario made requirement will ultimately result in more manufacturing jobs for the province. As Charlie said,”As far as a 20-year investment goes, it seems too good to be true, but your contract is locked in!”

Ottawa Valley Glass is producing its proprietary framing system in their Renfrew facilities, along with providing panels and inverters from Canadian and European producers, which meet the criteria set out by the OPA. If you are driving down Barnet Boulevard you will be able to see 10-kw solar installations at both Ottawa Valley Glass and at the Barnet Boulevard Storage Facility.

These aesthetically pleasing and trendy systems will generate approximately $12,000 per year with a guaranteed 20year contract for the owners. This is by far one of the best investments available to an individual or business during these economic times.

As applications continue to be approved, Renfrew residents will see many of these systems emerging, which will result in a greener society with strong financial benefits for the owners.

Online documentary series features Petawawa River Anyone who has taken a stroll by the Ottawa or Petawawa rivers this spring can attest to the exceptionally low levels haunting our shorelines.

Some raise an eyebrow, others make small talk, but some people are concerned this low water is a sign of things to come, as rivers across the province – including the Petawawa – are threatened by dam projects.

Five2Nine Productions, a whitewater media firm from Ottawa, is partnering with schools and organizations around the world to launch a documentary series called Currents.

Currents uses whitewater kayaking as a means to educate a broader audience about the risks

FUN AT FATIMA Kaleb Smith pulls in the big one with help from Chelsea Bernard and Keanna McCrea at the Lady of Fatima School fun fair May 27.

The three-hour event featured games, an OPP exhibit, the music of St. Joseph’s High School, hay wagon rides and lots of food. At right, Lili Desjardins meets a new friend at the fun fair.

threatening the world’s rivers.

The project is first being released online in segments, typically five to eight minutes long, covering a different location, theme and river network.

The latest segment to be released features the Petawawa River, home to the Hell or High Water Festival, and has interviews with the whitewater community, Cyndy Phillips-McCann of Petawawa and Joe Kowalski from Wilderness Tours.

This segment examines the proposed dam project and threat it poses to the whitewater community and larger community as a whole, and how closely tied the river is to life in Petawawa.

Nolan hits Chinese wall, but keeps on going STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

“I’m not an athlete, far from it,” insists Hughie Nolan, 65, of Renfrew.

No, but he resurrected his unfit body in the past few years, and now continues to run marathons to help control his diabetes, and to encourage others to be more physically active.

Just back from running China’s Great Wall Marathon May 15, he remains exhilarated by the experience.

In 2006, Nolan ran a half-marathon, and promised afterwards that he’d never do another. Now he has run a few marathons, including his first in Dublin, Ireland that same year, a 2007 marathon in Iceland and the 2009 Ottawa marathon. He also toed the starting line of the Ottawa event in 2008, but dropped out at 37 kilometres with a stress fracture in his hip.

He’s planning to run another marathon this fall, but doubts he’ll find an experience to match the one in China.

Shortly before his 65th birthday, Nolan tackled the Great Wall Marathon, which often takes 60 to 90 minutes longer to run than most marathons because of its demanding terrain.

Nolan isn’t one to talk about himself, but he hopes to set an example for others through his running.

“I probably wouldn’t even do this interview if it wasn’t to encourage,” he said.

“It’s not about me. It’s to encourage others to get out and do things.

“The word can’t shouldn’t be used. It’s a terrible word. It shouldn’t be in the dictionary, You just have so many people half my age who say I can’t do this, I can’t do that.”

Well, they can, if they set their mind to it, insists Nolan, while taking a break from his work at Stardust Upholstery on Gillan Road.

As a younger adult, he water-skied, skydived and scuba dived, but never played hockey or ran. But now he says running accomplishes several things.

“I don’t like the pain, but I like the accomplishment,” he says of the physical challenges in the marathon’s late stages.

“When I first started to run I couldn’t run from one telephone post to the next.”

Now his running keeps him fit and con-

trols his diabetes.

In the Great Wall Marathon, about a two-hour drive from Beijing, wife Charlotte was among sideline supporters as he finished in 7 hours 33 minutes. About three weeks earlier, he did a hilly 34-kilometre run along Opeongo Road near Foymount in about 4 ½ hours.

“That pretty well told me I could do the marathon in China,” says Nolan.

At the same time, he says that “was nothing compared to what was over in China. I wouldn’t think twice about doing that (Opeongo) run again, but I wouldn’t do China again.”

It was just too, too hilly.

Nevertheless, he says, “It’s probably the best experience I’ve ever had as far as running because of the accomplishment.

It’s probably the hardest marathon I’ll ever do.”

It was heart-warming, too, because of the chance to interact with others and to treat the marathon as a very different experience.

For example, he ran with a belly strap that contained his diabetic kit, including the test equipment to check insulin levels every half hour or so, as well energy gels, Tylenol and his camera.

He stopped to give a Tylenol to a young American woman who was struggling at the half-way point. She didn’t finish, but she came up to him after the event, with one knee wrapped, to thank him for his support.

Another highlight was the Chinese children who handed out artificial-flower bouquets. The event attracted about 1,900 participants for distances from five kilometres to the full marathon.

An unforgettable memory will be when Nolan and other runners literally crawled on their hands, late in the marathon, on one particularly steep section.

Now Nolan’s thinking of running a marathon next year in Africa. Before then, however, he plans to run the Toronto Waterfront Marathon this fall.

“If I have a goal,” says Nolan, “I won’t get lazy and sit on the couch.”

He credits much of his running improvement to training and support at the Ultimate Fitness club in Renfrew, and the encouragement of daughter Charlene and his wife.

Looking to reach beyond the paddling community From Page 14 The episode looks at events like Hell or High Water, a yearly festival that prompted over 200 paddlers from across Ontario, Quebec and the northern United States to paddle and celebrate the Petawawa. The economic impact and significant media

coverage eventually inspired town council to demand the white water community have a voice on the dam projects’ advisory council.

Future Currents episodes will focus on North America, Australia and New Zealand. For more, visit www.five2nine.ca.

Passing of the torch For years – 54 years to be precise – the New York Rangers and their fans waited to hoist the Stanley Cup. During the New York Islanders heyday, the Rangers and their supporters endured the chants of “19-40! 19-40.”

Well that all finally ended with the Mark Messier-led New York Cup triumph in 1994.

That put the burden on the Detroit Red Wings. Fortunately, we didn’t have to wait too long. Stevie Y and the boys captured the Wings’ first Cup in 42 years in 1997, and have hosted three more victory parades since.

That sent the torch of futility to the Windy City. As 1961 slipped farther and farther away, so too did the Blackhawks’ hopes for a parade as they tumbled well from playoff contention.

But then, with the 2007 passing of owner Bill Wirtz and the beginning of the new regime led by Wirtz’ son Rocky, the Blackhawks were on their way, and as I write this, Chicago’s Stanley Cup parade is about to begin.

Which means passing the torch once again. It’s now 43 years and counting since George Armstrong’s empty net goal sealed the 1967 Stanley Cup title for the Toronto Maple Leafs. But always one to give the Leafs a break, we’ll disregard the lockout season of 2004-05, and make it a mere 42 years.

PETER CLARK PETER’S PUTTERINGS Unforgettable 2010 season: What a year it’s been for some members of the Blackhawks.

Jonathan Toews, Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook have joined American Ken Morrow of the 1980 Islanders, and 2002 Wings Steve Yzerman and Brendan Shanahan of Team Canada in that select group of players to win Olympic gold and the Stanley Cup in the same year.

It’s been also a season to remember for Patrick Kane. The swift-skating Hawk won on Cash Cab, was a part of the Olympic silver medal-winning United States team, and scored the overtime goal to win the Stanley Cup. For a brief period, he was the only player on the Blackhawks who knew it. * * * John Diefenbaker was Canada’s prime minister at the time of Chicago’s 1961 Stanley Cup. And for this week: Patrick Kane’s goal was the first final series-clinching overtime marker in 10 years. Who scored the previous OT Cup-winning goal?

RCI Raiders honour top athletes of 2009-10 PETER CLARK

peter.clark@metroland.com

Renfrew Collegiate Institute capped off another year of excellence as the Raiders held their 2009-10 athletic awards banquet last Wednesday evening in the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre hall.

It was a season that produced Renfrew County champions in cross-country, snowboarding and junior girls soccer.

The senior boys basketball and senior girls volleyball teams emerged AA champions, while snowboarding, cross-country and the girls wrestling team won at the Eastern Ontario (EOSSAA) level.

Eleven members of the RCI track and field team competed at the Ontario high school (OFSAA) championships.

Through all of the team accomplishments, there are individuals who led the way, and right at the top of that list were Adam McGregor and Rachel Folkema.

McGregor was named the Raiders top male athlete for 2009-10, and joined Kelsey Jessup as recipients of the 100-Point award. The same two athletes earned their 75-Point awards last year.

Folkema is this year’s D.W. Donaldson female athlete of the year, and was also

a co-winner of the Frank Lynch Award with Alisenne MacLean. The Frank Lynch hardware goes to the RCI student or group of students who, as a result of an outstanding athletic achievement, usually beyond the level of inter-school competitions, brings recognition and distinction to themselves and the school.

Gord Gaddess and Maddie Kubiseski are the Raiders junior male and female athletes of the year.

Alex Fraser was presented with the Dr. Burwell Award which goes to the Grade 12 student who played on school teams and displayed leadership qualities and the initiative to better RCI’s athletic and intramural programs.

Hanna Guty, Hillary MacMillan, Caitlin Dougherty and Sarah Dougherty received 75-Point honours.

Rounding out the main award ceremony was the presentation of the Senior and Junior R’s. Mikaela Barnes, Mae Donohue, Alex Fraser, Maddie Kubiseski and Nick Sparling earned their Senior R in 2010. Receiving the Junior R were Anthony Burton, Meghan Forgie, TC Fraser, Gord Gaddess, Sabrina Guyea, Erika Jenkins, Thomas Kellar, Stewart Kellar and Carissa Rathwell.

peter.clark@metroland.com

• Chris Ivory was named the Jaguars top senior male athlete and Sarah MacLaren the top female for 2009-10.

Nominees were Josh Lamourie, Nicholas Mosco, Thomas Prince, Alec Vice and Brandon Woertink on the male side; and Hailey Miller and Natalie Walters for top female honours.

• Topping their peers for the top junior athlete category were Peter Vice and Melissa Verch.

Zachary McIntyre, Josh Naismith, Jack Stephens and Scott Stephens were in contention for the junior male honour. Likewise, Abbey Freemark, Rebecca MacLaren and Alanna Moss joined Verch in the running for the junior female athlete.

• Rounding out the elite award winners were Grade 8 athletes Evan Naismith and Sonya Bergin.

SaraLyn Deslaurier, Molly Helferty, Kelsey Kargus, Mary McNulty and Courtney Stafford were in award contention on the girls side.

All the Grade 8 nominees, no doubt, are future candidates for the previously noted junior and senior major awards.

It was a big night for eight members of the St. Joseph’s Catholic High School sporting fraternity.

They are the recipients of the major awards as the Jaguars held their 2010 athletic banquet June 8 in the school’s auditorium.

Leading the way were the Tom Prince Memorial Award and Jim Donohue Award winners.

Brandon Woertink captured this year’s Tom Prince award for sportsmanship and perseverance throughout the high school sports season.

Alec Vice received the Jim Donohue honour for dedication and leadership as the school’s top graduating athlete, based on involvement in athletics and other school activities.

For each award presentation, many other student athletes were saluted for their performance.

Nominees for the Prince trophy were Karla Belton, Chris Ivory, Jonathan Kiezebrink, Sarah MacLaren, Hailey Miller, Kaitlyn Verch and Alec Vice.

Ivory, MacLaren, Miller and Woertink were nominated for the Donohue hardware.

Corporation of the Town of Renfrew

Once again, the Town of Renfrew will be conducting drinking water sampling and testing for lead to comply with Ontario Regulations. The town is seeking volunteer test sites in single family homes, multi-unit buildings, commercial properties, and industrial properties.

Under the provincial legislation, the municipality must test the drinking water for lead at 40 private residences, 4 non-private residences, between June 15, 2010 and October 15, 2010.

• Tests would be performed at older residences suspected of having lead pipes or pipes with lead solder.

• Homes built before the mid-1950s could have lead pipes.

• Lead solder was used to join copper pipes and was phased out in the late 1980s; any new construction done after those years should not be affected by lead in the piping system.

Since the Town must access homes to test for the presence of lead, we are looking for volunteers to allow the Town of Renfrew staff access to their homes to collect samples.

There will be NO charge to the resident for the testing of the lead sample.

Each sample will total three litres in each location and the regulations obligate the town to advise tenants of the test results as soon as they are available.

The higher risk individuals affected by lead that exceeds the standards are pregnant women, infants and children under the age of 6 years old.

The Town will require permission of the property owner to take the samples. If you wish to be added to the list of potential test sites please contact the Development and Works Department, Municipal Garage, Darl Gaudette at 613-432-4147.

Nathan Blok has come a long way since his young go-kart days.

Blok enjoys good start

CAROLYN LEVESQUE

Sixteen-year-old Nathan Blok couldn’t be happier.

After competing in his first race of the season in the FSAQ Formula Tour 1600 series, Blok is already seventh in the championship, one point behind the 2009 champion, and he’s leading for rookie-of-theyear.

Held May 29 and 30, the Mont Tremblant Spring Classic was the Beachburg teen’s first opportunity to practise in the F1600 this season on a very technical

395882

track that was brand new to him.

Driving for Ottawabased Mortimer Racing, Blok qualified 11th out of 24 drivers for Saturday’s (May 29) race. He improved his time by a second, but again qualified 11th on Sunday.

Blok eventually finished 10th (eighth in his class) and seventh respectively in the races.

“I would like to thank the crew and my sponsors as I had two great races this weekend,” said Blok.

“I think I did very well

considering the competition level was extremely high.

“And I improved my qualifying time in the second race despite breaking the sway bar.

“I had fun,” he added.

Both team owner Nigel Mortimer and high performance instructor Claude Bourbonnais were very pleased with his results, Blok said.

Blok travelled to Montreal last weekend where he competed in a support race for the Canadian Formula One Grand Prix.

THANKS FOR THE LIFT Garnet Walbeck, right, waves to the crowd as he rides in style during the OPP Torch Run for Special Olympics June 9. The annual event included a pair of rickshaws for the first time. The run made its way from the Renfrew Fairgrounds, down Raglan Street to the Royal Canadian Legion Renfrew Branch 148. A game of floor hockey between Renfrew’s Special Olympians and the OPP followed at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

three steps in managing your money are “know your flow, control what you owe and invest some dough,” he said.

For more on Cunningham and his presentation, visit funnymoneyinc.com and Facebook.

Funny Money is an engaging presentation designed to educate and entertain high school students in Grades 11 and 12. The program helps students learn the basics of personal finances before they enter into the world of higher education, careers and independence.

“An alarmingly large number of today’s students find themselves unprepared for the day-today realities of paying the rent, properly using a credit card, budgeting for the basic necessities or investing for their futures,” James Cunningham said.

At Renfrew Collegiate Institute May 5, the professional comedian took the confusion out of the complex world of finances to make sure students are on the right track.

Using comedy, a multimedia presentation and audience participation, the Funny Money for High Schools Assembly Program teaches students across Canada the essential skills required to successfully manage their financial lives. Since the Investor Education Fund first began sponsorship of the program in 2005 in partnership with the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce, Funny Money has successfully reached over 150,000 students in over 250 Ontario schools.

With the added support of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC), 396485 the program is now available nationally.

“We are going to 180 schools across Canada this year, and Valley Wide Real about 200 next year,” CunningEstate Brokerage ham said.

“It was a unique opportunity for us to share the perspective of rural Canadian health care at an international level,” says RVH chief executive officer Randy Penney.

“We were honoured that Renfrew was chosen as one of the sites for their visit.”

The other locations visited during their two-week Canadian tour included the offices of the Ontario Hospital Association and the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care as well as Cancer Care Ontario and St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto.

In Ottawa they visited the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre, the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group and a number of health agency offices. While in Renfrew, they also heard about the Renfrew County and District Health Unit through a presentation by Carla Walters.

The tour was organized by the Canadian College of Health Service Executives. Facilitator Kelly Grimes says RVH was chosen because of the hospital’s reputation of providing excellence in care in a more rural setting.

RURAL UKRAINE More than one-third of Ukraine’s population lives in rural areas, so many of the students will be going back to smaller community hospitals.

In their evaluation of the study tour overall, students had only high praise for RVH and its services, and will be bringing back to their country many valuable insights and learnings.

Most of the Ukrainian visitors are physicians, all of them are completing their Masters of Business Administration (MBA) studies with a focus on health care.

The Ukrainian participants were at Day 9 of their Canadian itinerary when they arrived at RVH. This was the first site they visited that offered a full facility tour.

“They seemed very pleased with the opportunity to see our health care system in action,” says Penney.

The visitors appeared to be impressed with the wide range of services offered at RVH, including the emergency facilities and the hospital’s ability to care for trauma patients.

SURGICAL PROGRAM The surgical program also piqued their interest, and they took advantage of a meeting with surgeon Lance Miller to ask questions about the services he and the operating room team provide.

Hospital staff in various departments provided the group with information about their programs. An interpreter facilitated the information exchange.

The participants were clearly planning to take what they learned back home to share with their medical colleagues in the Ukraine. As they toured RVH, they stopped to snap photos of everything from the workings of the hospital beds and the change rooms in the diagnostic imaging department to the hemodialysis stations and the medical equipment.

The hospital tour was rounded out with visits to other facilities on the RVH campus, including the Ministry of Health and Long-

Term Care’s Central Ambulance Communication Centre and the professional building.

Mayor Sandi Heins joined the delegation for lunch in the hospital cafeteria.

“I was so proud to be there,”

she says. “It was a wonderful opportunity for the folks from the Ukraine to see how our rural hospital works.”

“Hats off to the RVH team,” she adds, noting RVH’s inclusive and welcoming approach, which

even featured a local resident who speaks Ukrainian to help the official translator.

“I know our visitors were impressed with Renfrew’s little health village and its beautiful surroundings.”

Since September 2009, the Grade 6 class of Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School has participated in the Adopt a Grandparent program at Renfrew Victoria Hospital’s continuing care unit.

Every two weeks, from September to February, six students baked, played euchre, and enjoyed horse racing, Jeopardy and other games.

“They did a fabulous job!,” said RVH recreationist Roxanne Nolan.

“The purpose of the program is to foster greater understanding and compassion between the generations, to develop in the students a respect for and appreciation of elderly persons, to provide the children with an opportunity to learn from the elderly and to foster a caring relationship, to enrich the lives of the elderly patients through the children’s contact and sharing.”

The program held a yearend barbecue at RVH May 27 when they thanked the Fatima school children for their participation. They were Angel Perriard, Kira Elliott, Taylor Rogers, Taitum Sammon, Lauren Hass, Megan Kasaboski, Courtney Cuthill, Logan Miller, Thomas McLeese, Tommy Dunbar, Joseph St. Michael

and Jacob Freemark.

The students learned that the elderly are not that different than the students, they’re just older.

“The Adopt a Grandparent program is such a successful program at RVH and every year we are pleased to host the younger generation through this program,” Nolan said.

Hospital celebrates long-term commitment at service awards An evening of fun, laughs and warm spirits filled half of the ice pad surface at Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre May 13 as staff, physicians and volunteers of Renfrew Victoria Hospital gathered to celebrate their life at work.

The 14th annual employee recognition banquet had a hockey theme with replica Stanley Cups dotting the centre of each table, hockey paraphernalia everywhere and the Hockey Night in Canada theme song playing in the background.

Wearing a Renfrew Millionaires sweatshirt, hospital CEO Randy Penney welcomed the crowd of more than 100 people, expressing how thankful and proud he was of staff members for their loyalty to the organization.

“Tonight we’re honouring 75 staff members who have combined more than 915 years of service,” he said.

Organizers thought the theme was quite appropriate, as they realize it takes a team effort to provide the best health care possible for the residents of the area.

The event was moved this year from the upstairs hall down to the ice pad to provide a more relaxed atmosphere, which prompted a change in menu for the festivities. Members of the RVH auxiliary served up munchies, fruits and veggies, and were assisted by their husbands who were flipping burgers and hot dogs on the barbecues outside.

Setting the tone for the evening were corporate vice-presidents Julia Boudreau and Chris Ferguson decked out in hockey gear and Paul Chatelain, who was dressed up and talking like Don Cherry.

“We are all on one team here – team RVH,” he proclaimed.

Even the designated “team captain” of each table had to shoot a goal into the net before going to the buffet line.

Following dinner, worklife awards were presented to those

Volunteers on the board of directors were also teers and long-term staff were recognized for their five-year, 10year, 15-year and 20-year commitment to our hospital.

Among those at the hospital for 20 years is CEO Randy Penny, who was described as a leader and an innovator.

“In my opinion, he has made this the best rural hospital in Canada and brought us services we never dreamed we’d have,” commented Catherine O’Neil, chair of the board of directors before presenting him with a small gift.

Close colleagues continued to honour longer-term members of the RVH family by sharing stories, laughs and warm praise for the hospital’s veteran staff.

Board retirees for 2010 are Dr. Stephanie Langlois, Gerry Richards, Ned Rafuse and Bev Welsh.

Upon receiving his award, Dr. Miller echoed the teamwork theme with compliments to all of the nurses and staff whom he works closely with on a daily basis – from those in the housekeeping department to dietary staff.

“It truly does take a team effort because I couldn’t do my job if it weren’t for all these other people behind the scenes,” he stated.

Happy Father’s Day to our Angel

“Duke” If tears could build a stairway, And memories a lane, We would walk right up to heaven And bring you home again.

Our hearts still ache in sadness And secret tears still flow.

What it meant to lose you No one will ever know.

But now we know you want us To mourn for you no more.

To remember all the happy times, Life still has much in store.

Since you’ll never be forgo en, We pledge to you today: A hallowed place within our hearts Is where you’ll always stay.

Lots of Love & Hugs & Kisses!

And Delore’s Stepfather Duncan Justus Seeley Who Passed Away December 21st 1976 We’re never ready to say goodbye To someone we hold dear.

If it were up to us, dear Dad, We’d always keep you here.

But God has reasons of His own And plans we cannot know, And these are always for our good, Though it may seem not so.

Our arms are empty and our hearts Are filled with tears and grief, For we who loved each day with you, Now find those days too brief.

Yet if we could only heaven see, We’d know you’re happy there, And we would never call you back When such great joy you share.

And so we’ll trust you to God’s great care And know some day, once more, We’ll hold you to our hearts again When we reach heaven’s shore.

Delore & Colleen Mulvihill CL20205

Happy Father’s Day, Dad

Not a day goes by that I don’t think about you, All of the fun and crazy things you used to do.

They say that time will heal and that life will go on, But another day goes by and I still can’t believe that you’re gone.

Although you’re in heaven now, you’ll always be a part of our lives, Rogan can say “Poppa” now and she has your blue eyes.

I am pregnant with a boy, Dad, your first Grandson, And he will have your name to proudly carry on.

I know that you’re watching over us from heaven above, I will always miss your face, your laugh, your big hugs and your unconditional love.

Love always, your Li le Girl Steph
