By autumn the weekly limit for residential garbage could be down to two bags, and commercial users could be cut from six to four bags.

Those are just two of the recommendations Renfrew council will consider as it ponders steps to extend the life of the Bruce Street landfill site.

There is also a proposal to charge by weight instead of volume, and increase tipping

The change would force the separation of materials such as wood, cardboard, metal, shingles, tires, white goods and recyclables to enhanced diversion areas and a recycling centre at the landfill site.

Itʼs recommended the fee for unsorted garbage be $150.

Workers at Haley Industries Ltd. began returning to work Thursday, May 10 after negotiating a new collective agreement and resolving their five-week strike.

Following talks May 2, 3 and into the early hours of Friday, May 4, a ratification agreement was reached.

The union recommended a vote to accept the companyʼs latest offer May 9, said Steelworkers Eastern Ontario staff representative David Lipton.

“This was tough bargaining, but in the end we were able to obtain a fair collective agreement,” said Mike Byers, president of United Steelworkers (USW) Local 4820. “By sticking together and supporting our union, our members have achieved solid improvements in working conditions.”

Residential bag limit could be down to two by September Changes proposed to extend life of landfill Continued from front Other recommendations include: • a minimum charge of $15 for up to 200 kg of waste; • free blue box recyclables, metal, OCC (old corrugated containers), leaf and yard waste, electronics, household hazardous waste and other materials from time to time based on ability and cost to divert; • extra curbside collection bag tags available for $2 each at the municipal offices, library and recreation centre; • increase the amount of material segregated to increase diversion and grind bulky waste; • establish a small-load disposal area at the landfill for safety and reduce operation costs; • consider offering backyard composters for sale again, to obtain credit from Waste Diversion Ontario; and • drop the curbside collection bag allowance in 2015 to one bag residential and two bags commercial.

The recommended landfill hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday; and extended summer hours Thursday 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

It is also recommended that landfill reserve funds and reserve fund policies be created for mid-term and final closure of the landfill, perpetual care, leachate management and Stage 5 expansion.

All funds are to stay within the waste management area.

During Thursdayʼs public consultation, concerns were expressed, including the ongoing problem of people dumping trash at private business garbage bins.

One woman also said she felt large families would be hurt unfairly by a cutback from three to two bags per week.

The five people at Thursdayʼs session were assured their concerns will be considered by council as it prepares to vote on the final recommendations.

Cover is a critical part of operations at the Renfrew landfill site on Bruce Street.

Rousselle gives the gift of life, again and again Earth’s Edge president Joe Hall led Thursday’s public consultation. His report to council sets the remaining life of the current landfill operations at 11.7 to 17.8 years. He said landfill expansions and approvals (Stage 5) will take significant time (five-plus years) and money. The current cost projection is $500,000 to $800,000.

David Rousselle of Renfrew is making a big difference in the lives of others. The difference between life and death.

Rousselle was invited to a prestigious Life Blood event in Ottawa on May 7 where he was presented with a plaque in recognition of 150 blood donations.

“I heard a mother and daughter speak of how blood donation saved the little girlʼs life at a young age,” says Rousselle. “I was very moved by the young girlʼs story of how grateful she was to receive the gift of life when she needed it,” he says.

“So someone, somewhere will have a life line because of blood donations. Remember, life is a gift, not a privilege,” he says.

David Rousselle has been honoured for 150 donations.

Bins are used to separate waste at the Renfrew landfill site.

Small property value increases mean lower 2012 taxes in Renfrew Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Renfrew council approved its 2012 budget May 2, but the implications for local ratepayers was clarified in treasurer Keray OʼReillyʼs report to council Monday night.

In announcing an increased tax levy of 1.9 per cent two weeks ago, OʼReilly has estimated a tax rate increase of 1.2 per cent.

To the benefit of ratepayers, that figure was high, says the treasurer. “That was a very preliminary wrong number,” said OʼReilly. The townʼs tax rate is actually dropping 2.43 per cent. The overall tax rate is dropping 3.19 per cent for bills that consist of municipal, county and school taxes.

To make sense of those figures, OʼReilly told council that residential ratepayers wonʼt pay a tax increase this year until their homeʼs assessed value jumps to about four per cent or more.

Haley strike Continued from front

Byers said the workers set up picket lines April 3 after rejecting a sub-standard company offer that included an hourly wage increase of only 15 cents over three years.

The new, three-year collective agreement, ratified by union members on Wednesday, will give about 400 workers a total wage increase of 82 cents an hour.

Other gains in the new contract include a new long-termdisability plan, improved health-care benefits and conversion of the former pension plan to the Steelworkers Pension Plan. The Steelworkers Pension Plan is a multiemployer, union-administered plan that will provide a greater

The new agreement was negotiated with the assistance of provincial mediator Tony Harte.

The Haley Industries workers produce magnesium and aluminum castings for the aerospace industry. The Steelworkers union has represented workers at the plant for 60 years.

The historic plant originally was set up with support from the federal government to help develop Canadaʼs aerospace industry. In the 1950s the plant was one of the suppliers to the Avro Arrow project.

The plant, located on Magnesium Road in Whitewater Township, has been modernized over the years, and manufactures airplane parts for Magellan Aerospace.

“Now we know what the rates are,” said OʼReilly. “Last time (two weeks ago) we dealt with the dollars. We know what that (exact) impact is now. We know the tax rates are going down ....”

As for the tax levy, or dollars coming from the tax bill, that amounts to a Renfrew increase of 1.9 percent to $6.7 million.

Renfrew residentsʼ total tax levy is rising a mere 0.47 per cent, from $12,168,253 in 2011 to $12,225,728 in 2012.

Of the entire 2012 levy, 54.6 per cent comes from Renfrew taxes, 22.7 per cent from county taxes, and 22.7 per cent from education taxes.

Looking at just the municipal levy, residents will pay 59.8 per cent of the tax bill.

The remainder is accounted for this way: commercial (22.6), payments in lieu (6.9), multi-residential (4.3), industrial (3.3), large industrial (2.8) and other

One of Renfrewʼs two Macʼs convenience stores is expanding to include a restaurant and take-out facility.

The store, located at Hall Avenue and Raglan Street, will be expanding by more than 50 per cent, from 2,070

square feet to about 3,150.

Renfrew council unanimously approved the application for site plan control Monday.

The current facility contains a convenience store and gas bar.

The intersection of Hall, Raglan and Veterans Memori-

al Boulevard is often referred to as Confusion Corner. Being aware of the traffic challenges at that corner, Renfrew Countyʼs manager of operations in public works, Steve Boland, suggested the town limit turning movements to and from the site to minimize traffic conflicts and confusion.

Renfrewʼs public works department has determined there will be ʻno left-turnʼ signage at the storeʼs Raglan Street South exit.

Construction is expected to get underway shortly.

The expansionʼs estimated engineering costs are $221,000.

Time to examine future of Horton beachfront Thereʼs only $1,000 set aside in the budget to develop Horton Townshipʼs beachfront property, which wonʼt allow for much work in 2012.

However, Horton council is trying to put a finger on whether or not the property should be developed as a beachfront, left alone or sold.

During the May 1 meeting, Horton council supported a finance committee recommendation to appoint an ad-hoc committee to investigate the future of the potential beachfront.

Because there are many “precon-

ceived” ideas of whatʼs best for the property, the ad-hoc committee will feature a healthy cross-section, said Coun. Marg Whyte.

The committee will consist of Horton recreation manager Kathleen Rogers, recreation chair Whyte, CAO Mackie McLaren, two recreation committee members (other than Whyte) and a member of the public to be appointed by the CAO. “We can look at pros and cons, costs, resources weʼre going to need, (and the status) of the waterway and the entrance

to the beach property, because thereʼs a lot of work to open the road to the beach property,” said Whyte.

“Itʼs a very long hill down to the beach, so we have to look at the feasibility and the cost, volunteer hours, capital costs, operating costs, public safety and hours of operation,” she added.

If the area is developed, Whyte says the property would include swimming and picnic areas, and boating access, on the former Timbertown property.

The property is located just off River Road, between FredĘźs Lane and Mullins Road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Historically, there is a consensus that people want it developed,â&#x20AC;? said Whyte. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But when you look at recreational issues, thereĘźs always a cost, so until we have the community centre, the rink roof and the change rooms paid for, itĘźs a big decision (to embark on another development).â&#x20AC;?

However, Whyte said the ad-hoc committeeĘźs recommendations could lead to developing the property once other Horton facilities are paid for.

For safetyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake in GM To safeguard township residents, employees, volunteers and/or property and equipment, it is the policy of Greater Madawaska that all prospective volunteers and contractors who interact with vulnerable persons must submit to a criminal record police check.

Vulnerable persons are children, seniors and/or those individuals with mental or physical disabilities.

Costs incurred relating to the completion, application and submission of the criminal record check are the responsibility of the contractor with the township.

However, volunteers will be reimbursed the cost of obtaining the criminal record check.

Coun. Bruno Kierczak cautioned against making the rules too stringent.

The township doesnĘźt want to start losing its volunteers, he said.

There have been no incidents of volunteers with criminal records in the past, it was noted.

Regardless of the level of future ďŹ nancial assistance, Darch says the growing need to identify more EDRs will increase as Highway 417 construction moves toward Renfrew.

At present, signage is â&#x20AC;&#x153;fairly minimal,â&#x20AC;? but that topic needs more discussion, said Boland.

Horton council members made similar comments at their May 1 council meeting.

They noted that detoured drivers often follow the car in front of them, which results in more trafďŹ c on roads that arenĘźt part of EDRs.

MTO indicated in recent conversations that there is no ďŹ nancial compensation.

But Renfrew County operations manager Steve Boland, who attended the late-April meeting, said MTO may have offered some compensation to southern Ontario municipalities.

To make the Saturday, July 28 the best day possible, the BIA urges residents of all ages and talents to volunteer some time to the party.

High school students, in particular, are invited to join the celebration by sharing their talents, perhaps busking.

Students are reminded that their contribution of time and talent could help them to fulďŹ ll the mandatory volunteer hours that all students must complete before graduation.

The business, Got Your Back, is donating T-shirts for the dayĘźs volunteers.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We (the BIA) wanted to do something for the whole family â&#x20AC;&#x201C; young and old. We just want to have a lot of fun that day,â&#x20AC;? says Ouellet.

Born and raised in Renfrew, she has high hopes for an action-packed day.

She recalls the ďŹ rst time organizers pondered bringing the Sharon and Bram show to town. She told herself, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know these are big dreams, but I gotta try.â&#x20AC;?

As a result, the hour-long Sharon and Bram Show will be at the AFAC Wing for a 2:30 p.m. show that day.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;ItĘźs beyond a show,â&#x20AC;? says Ouellet, noting how generations of families have bonded over songs like Peanut Butter and Skinnamarink.

Tickets are $15 and are available at The Flower Factory, A Sense of Country, Kids Corp and ScottĘźs Shoe Store.

Other attractions include The Cow Guys, The Juggle Bugs, Radical Mad Science Show, Kids Corp Zone, Sharon and Bram Show, Yaki balloon animals, face painting, sidewalk chalks, cotton candy and more.

Members of the Renfrew and Area SeniorsĘź Home Support program is also pitching in to serve old-fashioned lemonade. And the day will end on a high note, thanks to Valley Heritage Radio.

As Ouellet explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Valley Heritage Radio is going to close out the day with a country jam party in Low Squareâ&#x20AC;?

OPP campaign up and running CANADAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S ROAD SAFETY WEEK

Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) detachments across the province are making preparations to support the annual Canada Road Safety Week campaign â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Road Safety Strategy 2015, the goal of which is to make CanadaĘźs roads the safest in the world.

Canada Road Safety Week focuses on increasing public compliance with safe driving through enforcement action.

The goal is to save lives and reduce injuries on CanadaĘźs highways by targeting the major causes of road deaths and injuries, speciďŹ cally, aggressive driving, impaired driving, distracted driving and failing to be properly restrained.

The campaign began May 14 and will be carried out over the Victoria Day long weekend before coming to an end on May 21. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The OPP fully supports this national road safety campaign which targets aggressive driving behaviours and

restraint non-compliance,â&#x20AC;? said OPP Commissioner Chris Lewis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal of this campaign is in keeping with our own Provincial TrafďŹ c Safety Program which aims to reduce injuries and deaths on our highways through education and aggressive enforcement action,â&#x20AC;? added Lewis.

There are no suspects. â&#x20AC;˘ Unknown culprits slashed the tires on a car in Renfrew sometime on Sunday, May 13.

The car was parked in a parking lot on Raglan Street South in Renfrew.

Const. Mark Condron is investigating.

If conversations have begun to explore the topic of retirement living, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably wondering where to begin. The most important thing is to find the option that best suits your parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs.

At Chartwell, our professionally trained staff can help you navigate the decision-making process and help you decide on the best option.

THEFT DOMESTIC DISPUTES

During the past week ofďŹ cers from the Renfrew OPP investigated three domestic disputes.

The suspect parked at the gate to the property and walked to the location, and physical evidence was located nearby. Const. Jamie Prince is continuing to investigate. â&#x20AC;˘ A vehicle was damaged while parked in a parking lot on Pembroke Street in Cobden. The vehicle was scratched with a sharp object between 4:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 12.

â&#x20AC;˘ An ATV was stolen from an address in Renfrew overnight on May 7. A 2003 green Polaris Sportsman 400 was stolen from the Rousselle Street home in Renfrew.

Const. Ryan Besner is continuing to investigate. â&#x20AC;˘ A brown 10-speed Rally bike was stolen during the afternoon on May 7 in Renfrew.

The bike was leaning against a home on Barr Street in Renfrew prior to being stolen. â&#x20AC;˘ A VISA card was stolen out of a parked car at a parking lot on Rafters Road in Whitewater Region. After the card was stolen sometime on Sunday, May 13, the thief attended a business in Renfrew and several items were purchased with the stolen credit card.

Residents challenged to do more to preserve landfill in phase four of Renfrewʼs five-phase landfill facility.

A report received by Renfrew council says the cost to close down the current phase and expand into phase five is estimated at $500,000 to $800,000. Big money.

Only five citizens attended the consultation, each with specific concern regarding the recommendations and their impact. The vast majority, it would appear, are content.

The task at hand is no small feat. It will take the efforts of hundreds to help extend the lifespan of the Bruce Street site.

Earthʼs Edge president Joe Hall, who led the public consultation, reported that Renfrewʼs population rose to 8,218 in 2011, and demand

Renfrew residents are being challenged to recycle more, to extend the life of Renfrewʼs Bruce Street landfill.

A series of major waste management changes are up for debate, decision and implementation in the town, but public interest seems moot. Only a handful of people attended last weekʼs public consultation session.

The recommendations include reducing the residential curbside bag limits from three to two in September, then dropped again to one bag in 2015. Additional bag tags would be available for $2 each.

You could call it a classic case of pay me now or pay me later.

An estimated life of 12 to 18 years remains

on the landfill site is growing.

One key factor behind that pressure is Renfrewʼs unusually low tipping fees compared to neighbouring municipalities, creating a “magnet” of people using the site illegally.

This is a real problem for Renfrew ratepayers because the townʼs certificate of approval is based on accepting only local waste. The town (aka taxpayers) are financially liable for any fines issued by the Ministry of the Environment.

Itʼs recommended Renfrewʼs tipping fee jump from $35 to $85 a tonne to discourage illegal dumping from other jurisdictions.

Thereʼs a steep price to be paid for procrastination, and Hall suggested almost a decade

has already been lost, despite a full generation growing up with recycling in Renfrew.

Only immediate action to slow the amount of waste going into the landfill will help to preserve its life.

Renfrew taxpayers are also solely responsible for the cost of closing down, then caring for and monitoring old landfill, in perpetuity.

“Perpetual is forever,” said Hall. “That landfill will be there for the next hundreds of years.”

So when it comes to garbage, less is actually more. Create less and it will leave more precious taxpayer dollars for other vital services.

So letʼs start today, to save precious space for tomorrow. Reduce, reuse and recycle.

MESSAGE FROM QUEEN’S PARK

Provincial debt falls back to you, your children and grandchildren John Yakabuski, MP Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke

On April 24, the so-called austerity budget tabled by the McGuinty Liberals passed by a vote of 52 to 37, with the NDP deciding to not vote at all. It is interesting that, at a time when voter turnout for elections is at an all-time low and we are doing everything we can to encourage people to vote, the NDP would fail to exercise their privilege to vote for or against. Whatʼs the slogan – Voting Matters. I guess the NDP decided they would rather sit this one out.

Tim Hudak and my Progressive Conservative colleagues voted against the budget. We did this on principle.

While it was advertised as an austerity budget designed to tackle Ontarioʼs fiscal mess, it does no such thing.

We had made it clear, in the time leading up to the budget, that there had to be real measures taken to change the direction of Ontarioʼs finances or we would not support it.

Letʼs look at the numbers.

Ontarioʼs deficit will be largely unchanged in this budget, decreasing by less than one per cent to $15.2 billion.

To put this into perspective, Quebec has the next largest deficit among Canadian provinces at $1.5 billion. Thatʼs right – one tenth of Ontarioʼs.

In fact, Ontarioʼs deficit is three times the size of all other provinces combined.

In this budget, spending actually increases by almost $2 billion. You canʼt reduce the cost and size of government if you continue to increase spending.

As everyone knows, deficits are added to the debt and debts have to eventually be paid back with interest.

The interest on Ontarioʼs debt, this year, will be over $10.6 billion.

Next to health and education interest on debt is the largest item in the budget. Thatʼs $10.6 billion that cannot be spent on programs and services. That number will continue to rise as long as we run budget deficits. Since coming to power Dalton McGuinty has almost doubled our debt.

Quite a legacy.

Speaking of interest on debt, the rate of interest that Ontario pays is largely determined by its credit rating.

As a result of this budget, and McGuintyʼs fiscal record of mismanagement, two major international credit rating agencies, Standard & Poors and Moodys, downgraded Ontarioʼs credit rating after the passing of the budget.

This could potentially add hundreds of millions of dollars more to the annual interest payments.

Clearly, these agencies have little faith in the Liberalsʼ ability to manage the provinceʼs finances. We got a glimpse of how unwilling they are to face

Ontarioʼs fiscal reality when they voted down a resolution by my caucus colleague, Ted Arnott, the MPP for Wellington-Halton Hills.

Mr. Arnottʼs resolution would have compelled the government to repay the debt at a rate of 2.5 per cent of program spending once the budget was balanced. They indicated that they could not agree to such an amount.

Friends, 2.5 per cent would be the same as paying your mortgage over 40 years. Who out there has ever heard of a 40-year mortgage?

Itʼs clear that the Liberals are a whole lot better at running up debts than they are at paying them.

Remember though, those debts fall back to you, your children and eventually your grandchildren.

On a local level I was most disappointed with their whipping the vote to defeat my gas tax bill, once again. My bill would have compelled the government to share some of the gas tax revenue with rural municipalities. It currently shares it only with municipalities who have a public transit system.

We pay far more than our fair share and itʼs about time we got some of it back. Is it possible that Dalton McGuinty favours big cities over us rural folk? Really? He couldnʼt be that biased against us, could he?

Web Poll POLL RESULTS

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION

What’s your reaction to the publishing of the annual sunshine list of civil servants who make $100,000 or more?

What do you think of the recent IpsosReid poll that showed the federal New Democratic Party virtually tied with the Conservatives.

A) It’s valuable because it shows that 38% government is out of touch and is spending far too much of taxpayers money on salaries.

A) It’s about time the public caught on to the lack of transparency displayed by Prime Minister Harper and his Conservatives.

B)

B) The robocalls and F-35 issues finally pressed the right nerves in the political arena.

It’s valuable because it dispels the myth that civil servants are overpaid; 25% In fact, they are appropriately paid for the important and often difficult jobs they do.

C)

It should continue, but to account for inflation, the list should be modified to include only employees making $150,000 and more.

arship, was another success, both financially and in promoting community fellowship and reading!

McIntyre named to education minister’s advisory council steve.newman@metroland.com

Foster McIntyre is an active student at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School.

The 12-year-old is an avid public speaker and heʼs usually one of the lead roles in the drama productions at the Renfrew elementary school.

But now he has another commitment.

For the second time in three years of the Education Ministerʼs Student Advisory Council program, a student from Our Lady of Fatima has been named to the council. Two years ago, Kailyn Friske was a member.

Fosterʼs dad, Bruce, said some may have looked at the program as a public relations exercise. But that wasnʼt his impression after joining several dozen parents to watch Mondayʼs (May 7) proceedings at Queenʼs Park.

“This is the third year of the program, and they have actually taken ideas from the students and implemented them into curriculum,” said Bruce.

As one of 60 students on the 2012 student advisory council, Foster will also attend a leadership camp at Lake Coochiching in late July.

The same students gathered Monday at Queenʼs Park to participate in workshops. The discussionsʼ highlighted topics were reviewed by Education Minister Lauren Broten.

She also told the students their input is important and is listened to.

She provided the example of how past advisory councils have resulted in the incorporation of diversity issues into the provincial curriculum.

Foster is of the strong opinion that arts and music should be given much more attention.

Prior to visiting Queenʼs Park, he told The Mercury: “It seems sports are more important in some peopleʼs eyes, and I donʼt think thatʼs fair … because a lot of people arenʼt athletes. A lot of people are artists and should have the same amount of attention as sports.”

At the conference in Toronto, he said sports are important and helps keeps kids active.

But he added that arts help round out a studentʼs overall development during the school year.

Fosterʼs perspective was highlighted in the summary of workshop discussions. A major point of discussion was the importance of recognizing, and dealing with, bullying.

Foster, who turns 13 in July, says he hopes to bring perspective, a little humour and a listening ear to the discussions.

“Iʼm hoping to hear everyoneʼs opinions and hear what they think should happen in the schools.”

Already, the experience has come with at least one surprise.

At the end of the May 7 conference, the organizers asked Foster to read a thank-you letter to the education minister.

“We had no advance notice,” said Bruce. “The orga-

nizers indicated that they reviewed the initial applications and noted that Foster excelled in public speaking and that is why they chose him.”

Heʼs certainly equipped to be a good school representative, said Fosterʼs Grade 7 teacher, Chris Mulvihill.

“Foster is an outgoing student whoʼs not shy to share his thoughts, and heʼs looking for social justice.

“When he sees injustice, heʼs quick to try to resolve it. I think heʼs a perfect fit.”

“He has a very special passion for the arts, and heʼs articulate,” added OLF principal

Jeannie Armstrong.

“I thought he would be a great ambassador for our system, for our board.”

Foster was among about 300 students, from Grades 7 to 12, who applied to join the education ministerʼs advisory council.

According to the education ministryʼs website, students say they want to have a school culture where all students feel they belong, and that they want the opportunity to participate in discussions that shape their lives and the lives of their peers.

Steady progress being made on St. Gabriel’s book

Salute to volunteers

The Quail Creek Retirement Centre in Renfrew held a volunteer luncheon Tuesday, April 24.

“A lunch was served to honour all our wonderful volunteers at Quail,” noted community relations manager Susan McGregor.

To the editor: Steady progress is being made on the St. Gabrielʼs Memory Book, which is being prepared to honour the priests and people who were associated with the mission church of St. Gabriel the Archangel at Springtown. The plan is to release the book in November, in time for Christmas gift giving.

Photos are now being sought for possible inclusion in the book. We hope to find snaps that show people taking part in events at the church, or in the graveyard. Baptisms, weddings, First Communion, Confirmation, funerals, work parties, etc. Interior shots of the church and photos of the priests who attended there are also welcome.

Please contact Carol McCuaig before sending photos through the mail. She can be reached at 432-8992 or juniper2@nrtco.net/ Postal address: 127 McCuaig Rd, RR 2, Renfrew, ON, K7V 3Z5.

Photos may also be submitted electronically (300 dpi, please) to Joel McCrea, joel@ mccreas.net/ If you are in the Renfrew area you may take your photos to Bill McAdam at Renfrew Printing, who will scan them while you wait. Before you leave, please make a photocopy of the pictures with suitable captions and your own contact details. This can be left with Bill McAdam or given to Joel McCrea at McCreaʼs Heating & Air Conditioning on Stewart Street.

It will be greatly appreciated if people whose families have a connection with St. Gabrielʼs church can hunt up suitable photos to help us make this book a success.

Respectfully submitted,

Food bank ID issue clarified To the editor: Dave Brash is certainly a diverse individual in our community and it was nice to see a story in our local paper about Dave, but I feel one area of the story needs clarification so people in our community donʼt get the wrong idea about our local food bank.

Yes, we do ask our clients for ID once per year, but this is to keep our records current and any information provided is kept under lock and key and is not shared with any other community group.

This information is only used in surveys in which we participate in and no names are mentioned. These surveys help Food Banks Canada address the ever growing need for food banks and the issue of hunger across our country.

We do not turn anyone away if they donʼt have ID; we just ask if they could please bring it next time.

P.S. You will all be happy to know that I talked to Dave this afternoon (May 11) and clarified the ID issue with him. He understands now and I believe he will use our services when required.

Off by a country mile A photograph in the May 10 Renfrew Mercury on Admaston-Bromley’s 2012 budget mistakenly identified Culhane Road as Campbell Line. Above is the actual Campbell Line, that leads into Butler Road and the Admaston-Bromley/ Horton border at Highway 60.

• Last weekʼs Renfrew Mercury story about the June 10 rededication of the Martin Cemetery incorrectly described the 19th-century property as being on Mask Road. It is actually located on Whitton Road.

• Last weekʼs story on land claim negotiations said the claim represents the last First National aboriginal group to negotiate for an aboriginal treaty in Ontario.

The reference to “last” was intended to refer to it as the most recent claim.

That is not to say there wonʼt be other claims in the near or distant future.

Randy Briscoe stands beside a wagon holding agricultural plastic that will be headed to the one-day plastic recycling depot Saturday, May 26 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Renfrew Recycling Centre on Lisgar Avenue in Renfrew. Briscoe is sporting an RRRated T-shirt from Admaston-Bromley council that, on its back, encourages people to reduce, reuse and recycle.

Free one-day depot for agricultural plastics at heart of responsible land stewardship Burning plastics releases dioxins that settle in crops and in our waterways

said. “I hope they have a decent turnout.

Thereʼs a pile of it out there.”

Past drop-offs have been held at locations such as Barron Waste Disposal and Traceyʼs Dairy in Renfrew.

Lucy Hass lucy.hass@metroland.com

The wagon parked beside the Briscoe barn holds about a third of a ton of plastic – about four months worth of plastic used at this operation, collected since January or February. The farm generates about one ton of farm plastic a year.

Burning plastic can cause cancer and is illegal.

Aside from keeping plastic out of the landfill, Randy says people also need to know how dangerous it is to burn it.

“I think everybody knows that burning plastic is bad but I donʼt know if they realize how bad,” he says.

Randyʼs brother, Glen, is a senior engineer and manager of compliance and approvals with Geofirma Engineering Ltd. in Ottawa.

As a professional engineer, he understands well the hazards associated with burning plastic, which is actually illegal.

“The most dangerous emissions can be caused by burning plastics containing organochlor-based substances like PVC. When such plastics are burned, harmful quantities of dioxins, a group of highlytoxic chemicals are emitted,” Glen explains.

The cancer connection should also raise red flags. “Dioxins are the most toxic to the human organisms. They are carcinogenic and a hormone disruptor and persistent, and they accumulate in our body fat and thus mothers give it directly to their babies via the placenta,” he says.

Releasing these dioxins through burning is all-encompassing.

“Dioxins also settle on crops and in

our waterways where they eventually wind up in our food, accumulate in our bodies and are passed on to our children,” Glen says.

Burning plastic can cause cancer and is illegal. If you smell burning plastic, determine the location, try to educate the person burning the plastic about the health and environmental consequences, or call 9-1-1 immediately. Donʼt assume someone else has made the call. The dispatcher will send an officer or fire chief to deal with the situation.

LANDFILL LIFESPAN

Admaston-Bromley council is a strong proponent of the program. It understands the importance of keeping those plastics out of the local landfill.

Like municipalities everywhere across the province, country and world, Admaston-Bromley is struggling to preserve precious landfill space. Reducing the volume of material going into the site is an ongoing battle.

In a report at councilʼs last regular meeting, Coun. Ray Pender recognized the support already received by local agricultural groups.

“Annette and I have been working on this for a little while now, trying to pull everything together,” Pender said.

He explained how the Renfrew County Soil and Crop Committee contributed the first $200 to kick off the program.

Soon the Renfrew County Cattlemenʼs Association and Ontario Federation of Agriculture were on board, then joined by the Renfrew County Holstein Club and Dairy Farmers of Renfrew County.

The money raised will be used to advertise the one-day recycling depot across Renfrew County.

“This is a really, really, really important program,” said Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe.

“I really appreciate those folks that have taken some initiative here.”

Farming is all about land stewardship: protecting and preserving the natural environment.

Advancements in farming have, however, handed the farm community a range of environmental challenges. Among those is disposal of farm film and agricultural plastic and bale wrap.

On Saturday, May 26 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. farmers will have a chance to do the right thing and take their plastics to a depot for proper disposal and recycling at Renfrew County Recycling at 60 Lisgar Ave. in Renfrew.

The one-time depot offers free recycling and disposal. Plastics must be clean, dry and preferably not baled.

Baled wrap will have to be cut open and inspected.

Dennis and Dianne Briscoe and son Randy take the recycling message very seriously on their Stone Road farm.

Randy understands the issue facing farmers when it comes to storing bulky agricultural plastics to keep it clean, dry and out of the rain.

Although the plastic can be baled, if it is baled it must then be cut open to be inspected at the recycling depot.

In fact, if the May 26 depot were not being held, the Briscoes would be baling the material and dropping it off at the Pembroke landfill for disposal.

Randy hopes one day there might be a bi-weekly system where farmers can dispose of plastics more conveniently and on a more regular basis, to ease the storage issue. “Itʼs got to be as simple and as easy as possible,” he says.

“There are miles of this stuff. We go through basically 30 rolls a year,” he

Scout camp cleanup Local Scouts held their Camp Clean-up for Camp Legewade on April 28. “We get as many volunteers as we can to come out and help clean up the kitchen, cabins, rake leaves, fix the road, cut firewood all to get it ready for a year of renting to Scouts Canada kids and like organizations,” says Christie Somerville-Freemark. “The camp is used for free for our Renfrew Scouting Groups and takes as many volunteers as we can get to help out. Seven members of the Greater Madawaska Township Volunteer Firefighters came out to help us, and Sparky too!” Special thanks for the hard work they do through the entire year goes out to Shaun Freemark, Ray Kane, Jacinda Villard and Bill Brydge and Reg Armonas who all put a lot of their free time into the camp all year, she says.

Donation from Eganville CWL and Knights of Columbus

The Catholic Womenʼs League (CWL) of St. James The Less Parish in Eganville and the Knights of Columbus joint fundraising committee hosted a fun trivia night at the church hall in March. Many gathered to support the event and prizes were awarded to the winning team.

The outcome of the evening was a $500 donation to the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Digital Mammography Project to help offset the cost of the new state-of-the-art equipment and renovations, which have been completed. An open house event to showcase the unit took place on Arpil 10.

On hand to make the cheque presentation to RVH Foundation Director of Development Barb Desilets in early April were CWL President Cecilia Curry and member Magdalene OʼReilly, as well as Grand Knight Claire Stapley, with members Adrian

Daley and Kevin Knox. Committee members missing from the cheque presentation were Elaine Snyder and Tom Holly.

The groups like to spread their support among local organizations and decided this time to contribute to the Digital Mammography Project at RVH because breast cancer is something that can touch everyone either personally or through a family member or friend.

Desilets noted that fundraising efforts are near the halfway mark towards the final goal of $700,000 and thanked both the CWL and Knights of Columbus members.

“We are grateful that you chose the Digital Mammography Fund at RVH to be the receipent of the donation.

“This brings us one step closer to our reaching our goal,” she said.

The prize also includes four sets of 3-D glasses and Blue Ray disk player.

Hunt is the second winner of a major prize in Roll Up the Rim to Win at a Renfrew Tim Hortons. A car was won at the Stewart Street Tim Hortons last year.

tario. The advisory committee has concluded that construction of three permanent helipads is not ďŹ scally achievable at this time and would not signiďŹ cantly enhance medevac services in the township.

Greater Madawaska Mayor Peter Emon didnĘźt rule out the possibility of something happening down the road.

Funds for the project will go back into a reserve, the mayor said.

MR. C.J. MURPHY MOVES ACROSS THE STREET: Mr. C.J. Murphy last week moved across the street and is now comfortably settled in his new business premises in the Stafford Block. His entry into the larger premises has been marked by the placing in position of two of the newest and handsomest chairs manufactured especially for barber shops. With enameled steel that looks like white marble and with copper and nickel trimmings they look rich and fitted up with air cushions that are as comfortable to sit in as they are handsome. There is also one chair which is not so handsome, but which was the choicest thing in barber chairs in its day and still is easy, and which, looking upon it as something of a mascot, Mr. Murphy purposes to always keep with him. The shop itself fresh from the hands of the painters and paperhangers looks bright and inviting.

FIXING UP HABIT: Renfrew has the fixing up habit fairly well developed this season. Mr. Joseph Rousselle has recently had his house improved by the erection of a large verandah and balcony.

Mr. Jas. A. McArthur has a similar erection underway on his residence on James Street; while in course of conversation with Mr. W.A. Moore on Wednesday we learned that already he has orders to build five verandas and also five new houses. At present Mr. W.A. Smith is his representative in the superintendence of the construction of the new Huron Hotel at Combermere taking the place of that destroyed by fire last year.

All old hands, mostly residents of Braeside, are employed and 65 extra men hired making the total in the neighbourhood of 245.

My View From Island View

Expectations So I was giving some thought to expectations or rather when expectations are not met and we feel disappointed, cheated and let down. You know the feeling when you are really looking forward to something special and it doesn’t go as planned.

I don’t know about you but when this happens I can feel so many different emotions all at once. The emotions range from anger and hurt to sadness and frustration.

When these feeling happen sometimes we just want to get over it and get on with feeling better yet disappointment can impatiently hang on and leave us feeling at loose ends longer then need be.

We have all experienced disappointment in so many ways. Not being offered a position you worked so hard to achieve. Feeling let down by children’s decisions when you know they could do so much better. Expecting a special moment to unfold in a certain way and feeling resentful when it doesn’t.

When these expectations are not met the way we expect, it is said we are not living in the moment. We are spending our time in the past or future and not the present.

I decided to explore some strategies for overcoming

KIMBERLEY

O’SHAUGHNESSY Marketing Manager

Island View Retirement Suites

dashed expectations and disappointments.

The first suggestion I came across I didn’t like very much. It was “let yourself experience the feeling and try not to rush through it.”

Kids are very good at this.

They can have a major tantrum, get it all out, and return to feeling happy and content again very quickly.

It’s ok to just sit with the feelings, let them run through you and not allow yourself to be rushed through them, yet most of us want to hurry up and feel better.

The second suggestion implies that when you have let yourself experience these emotions you will be better able to “gain some perspective.” Perhaps the person responsible for your disappointment doesn’t even know they have done something to upset you. Maybe the situation was just an unavoidable circumstance. They too may be experiencing stressful moments or simply had a bad day.

The third suggestion is knowing you have a choice in how you respond. You

can choose to be upset by what was done or you can choose to “remain calm in the storm.” I like this suggestion because it means we all have control to respond in the best possible way.

Acceptance of the situation and knowing disappointment is a part of life is the other suggestion. We will continue to disappoint others and they will disappoint us.

We are all human beings. If we can practice acceptance we will suffer much less.

Discontent, expectations not met and disappointment are a part of life, but all parts of life can help us grow. If we can be present and aware even in the midst of these emotions we can choose to live life more completely.

Pine Valley School Days â&#x20AC;&#x201C; First Dan Gorman Memorial Lecture years before going on for further teacher training.â&#x20AC;?

She indicated that teaching at a one-room schoolhouse was challenging, having to prepare lessons for seventeen students across eight grades.

She recalled often eating a sandwich with one hand while preparing the afternoon lessons with the other. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The strength of the school grew out of how it began â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the family setting. The children came from strong family roots.

With so many grades, it was possible to assign older children to look after the younger ones. They were highly responsible, a trait instilled in them by their parents.â&#x20AC;?

Like other one-rooms schools, the Pine Valley School had few amenities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; students walked to the school; there was no phone for emergencies, no couches for lying down. Rice recalled the time when one student fell ill. She merely put a coat across her desk and tended to the child while teaching until the parents could come and fetch the ailing pupil.

When Rice returned to teach in the school in 1960, she found improvements â&#x20AC;&#x201C;

an oil furnace to heat it; new slate blackboards, which replaced the early Beaverboard ones, which had to be painted black every year; a chemical toilet; and a Gestner machine for copying. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In those days, you were teacher, principal and secretary. And the parents volunteered to oversee the school to ensure it was well run. You know, it all worked. Children went on to pursue professions as doctors, teachers and professors, nurses and, of course, continuing to run family farm.

My motto is that no child was behind the door when gifts were handed out. You had to adapt to the childĘźs skills and teach them to value and be proud of the skills they were given.â&#x20AC;?

The afternoon being planned by the Bromley Historical Society will also include the planting of a Heritage Oak at the old town hall to remember Dan Gorman.

The talk is free and open to the public. Former students at Pine Valley and other local residents are invited to bring photos and memories of their school days. Refreshments will be served.

Former Bromley Township schoolteacher Lauretta Rice will speak about Pine Valley School Days at the First Annual Dan Gorman Memorial Lecture, at 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 20.

Proudly sponsored by the Bromley Historical Society, the memorial lecture commemorates the former society member and supporter who sadly passed away in 2011.

The talk will be held in the old town hall, 498 Micksburg Road, Osceola. Professor Gorman was a pupil at the school and often wrote about it fondly.

Rice began teaching at Pine Valley in 1956, only four years after graduating from the school. The school was begun in 1885 by both Catholic and Protestant parents in the section, who wanted their children to receive a solid education, a concern that would continue through the decades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I began teaching, there was a shortage of teachers,â&#x20AC;? Rice said in a recent interview, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and so the provincial government put 900 teachers into rural schools. I began my teaching career right after high school and taught for two

There is a cause in your heart, Aries, and it will direct much of what you do for the week. You may need to recruit a helper to keep up with all of your plans.

Libra, a big argument yields no winners, only losers. It’s your responsibility to start mending some fences. There’s a close friend who has some good advice if you’ll listen.

Think about a change of scenery, Taurus, because you can use it. It may take more than a day or two away from work to recharge your batteries, however.

Cabin fever, boredom, the winter blues ... call it what you want to, Scorpio, but you’ve certainly got a case. This could be a good time to head to a warmer climate.

Gemini, a new address leads to plenty of new relationships.

You just have to weed through them to find the ones that have serious potential. A friend is jealous of your good fortune.

Now is not the time to make big decisions, Sagittarius, such as financial moves or whether to get a pet. In a few weeks things will seem more clear and it may be a better time.

You are tempted to play the blame game, Cancer. But think better of it when some new information comes to the surface. Thursday will be a good day for personal reflection.

Capricorn, before you get sidetracked by one way of thinking, it’s better if you listen to as many ideas as possible. The right one for you is just around the corner.

Leo, there’s a chance you will be passed over for something important this week. Don’t let it get you down. You’ll have another opportunity soon enough.

Low Square comes alive for Relay for Life fundraiser Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

Low Square was alive with music, childrenʼs laughter on a giant inflatable slide, the smell of baked goods, and the rise of car wash soap suds last Saturday.

The annual Relay for Life fundraiser, this year hosted by both Renfrew Collegiate Institute (RCI) and St. Joseph Catholic High School, was well on way to reaching its goal.

RCI is aiming for more than $500,000 over the last six years.

While the atmosphere was light and cheerful, many were remembering those lost to cancer, such as former RCI teacher Bonnie Kerr.

Organizers Mike and Liz Wright and Cheryl Barber were among those thinking of Kerr. The latter brightened when asked how business was going.

“Itʼs been an absolutely huge turnout,” Barber said, standing under a tent lined with nearbare banquet tables. “The bake sale has been great. We sold almost everything.”

About 50 students were also in the park, some washing cars, some selling slide tickets, others offering hair feathers, all welcoming potential contributors to the cause.

Among the hardest working was 17-yearold Paige Dillabough. She is big on raising awareness and raising funds to find a cure for particular cancers. But sheʼs in it for personal reasons. When Dillabough was eight she was rushed to hospital with flu-like symptoms. The experience would change her life and those in her family.

“The doctor told us it was a tumour, right there,” she said, pointing behind her left ear.

“I was out of it, feeling sick. My parents were devastated.”

Dillabough will join about 45 others this year for the survivorsʼ lap before the Relay for Life. An inspiration for many, she continues to

The annual Cure for Cancer Carnival, hosted by all the elementary and high schools in town, takes place May 25 and 26 at Ma-TeWay Park.

The general public is welcome to participate between 3 and 8 p.m.

SOLDIER ON, RIDE ON

About 150 bikers descended on Calabogie Peaks May 5 for the Soldier On fundraiser.

The Canadian Army Veteran (CAV) Motorcycle Unit raises money to give amputated war veterans a chance to ski. “If you can ski down a mountain what else can you do,” said P.M. “Trapper” Cane, national president of the CAV. With him are, from left, Canadian Association for Disabled Skiing’s Dan Fleming, Calabogie Peaks operation director Bob Gilmour, Calabogie Peaks owner/operator Liz Murphy, and “drifter” Bill Truman. The day included live music and a pig roast.

Connery Campbell of Admaston Public School takes aim at Brandon Kelly of RCI in this laser tag through an inflatable maze.

Great response to Carnival of Hope Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

The plan was to chase a serious goal with laughter and fun.

And that was accomplished at last Fridayʼs Bonnie Kerr Carnival of Hope.

Named in honour of the former Renfrew Collegiate Institute guidance consellor who lost her battle to cancer, the annual carnival raised a heaping $10,300 towards RCIʼs total 2012 Relay for Life goal of $95,000.

If reached, the Renfrew high school will have raised more than $500,000 in six years of the relay in Renfrewʼs own backyard. Money from the event goes to the Canadian Cancer Society in the continuing fight against cancer.

“We ironed out some details from last yearʼs event, and now it seems thereʼs a constant flow of people,” said Liz Wright, co-staff supervisor of Fridayʼs RCI Relay for Life. Fellow supervisors are Mike Wright and Cheryl Barber.

Itʼs not hard to get motivated to help organize the event, suggested Liz, who knew Bonnie.

“She always had a smile and she was always willing to help out,” recalls Liz “She was just a fun-loving person.”

The carnival was set up at Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre, where organizers increased the number of bounce kingdoms or mazes from four last year to five this year, while also offering various skill-testing games and a canteen.

One of the most popular activities was laser tag in an inflatable maze.

Students from Renfrew Collegiate Intermediate, Queen Elizabeth, Central and Admaston Public schools attended the carnival in the morning or early afternoon, while the carnival was open to the public from 4 to 8 p.m.

12-HOUR RELAY FINALE

The last fundraising leg is the 12-hour Relay for Life.

The relay starts at 7 p.m. on Friday, May 25 in the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre parking lot

JD Dixon of Admaston Public School is all smiles while sprinting through this bounce kingdom at the carnival of hope. where a make-shift track is used for the survivor lap, ongoing walking and the luminary ceremony.

Thereʼs also a bake sale and silent auction.

To contribute to the sale or auction, call RCI at 613-432-4858 and ask for Liz Wright, ext. 429, or Mike Wright, ext. 209.

Friends’ fundraiser far exceeds expectations Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Itʼs amazing what respect for a friend and good weather can do.

For an event that organizers Jeanine Mulvihill and Maxine Allen thought might draw 50 participants, you might say it did quite well.

Michelle (Moran) Smith recently underwent surgery for breast cancer, and her friends and running partners organized a five-kilometre fun run or walk for Smith this past Saturday morning. The event started and ended at Shooterʼs Bar and Grill in Calabogie.

Things went much better than planned, Allen said.

“Jen and I set a goal of 50 participants and, as you can tell by the crowd here today,

The last of a hearty lot hit the road in the five-kilometre run and walk for Michelle Smith in Calabogie Saturday morning.

we have well surpassed that number. Iʼm proud to be a part of a community that has come together. Each and every one of you has been very generous,” she told the participants.

“We have had lots of support from Michelle, her family and friends, and those who have never met her,” Allen continued.

“Michelle, your story has inspired this entire group to gather here today. We are all truly blessed and honoured to be walking and running with you today.”

The final total raised is closing in on the $9,000 mark.

“We had $8,600, and I know thereʼs a bit more to come in,” Mulvihill said.

The support was great, she added.

“For participants, people who ran or walked, we had about 230. Counting volunteers, we had about 340 people. We couldnʼt have asked for much better, thatʼs for sure.”

The organizers also thanked the Ontario Provincial Police and Greater Madawaska firefighters.

“We appreciated them being out there (directing traffic). They were generous and surprised by the turnout. We also thank the firefighters for their support. They looked after the parking,” Mulvihill said.

“It was amazing,” Mulvihill added of the overall event.

“We definitely had a lot of positive feedback. It was a lot of fun.”

Bishop sets sights on Olympics Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Middle-distance runner Melissa Bishop of Eganville is a big step closer to qualifying for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games.

Bishop broke the Olympic B standard for 800 metres at the Ponce Grand Prix in Puerto Rico last Saturday. She ran a personal best of 2 minutes and 76/100ths of a second to place second behind American star Maggie Vessy, who was the No. 2 ranked 800-metre runner in the world in 2009.

“It was a big hurdle,” said Bishop, 23, after improving on her personal best set the previous Wednesday in the Cayman Islands. She won that race in 2:01.81, to better her outdoor best of 2:02.69 last summer. She had also run 2:02.09 on an over-sized indoor track in Ottawa two months ago.

“Iʼm really excited, but I am a little bit surprised. I knew I was ready for something big, Sydney, Michelle, Stuart and Bailey Smith appreciate the support they have received but not to this extent,” said Bishop, who trains from fellow Calabogie residents and beyond. in Windsor, Ont., with coach Dennis Fairall.

Heading into the Puerto Rico Grand Prix race, she figured the time would be quick, since six of the eight women had already run 1:59.

Perhaps the best news for Bishop is that she has run two personal bests so soon, in only her second and third 800s of the outdoor season.

“I havenʼt been peaking for this. Workouts are still pretty high volume.

“Iʼm still very excited, but I have to keep calm and keeping going,” added Bishop, who knows she has to break the B Olympic standard twice and have a top-three finish at the lateJune national championships in Calgary.

Bishop, the daughter of Doug and Alison Bishop, says a half-dozen or so Canadians could be in the running for Olympic berths in the womenʼs 800 metres, so she doesnʼt want to get ahead of herself. The whole qualifying picture could also change drastically if any Canadian women break the A standard of 1:59.90 and finish in the top three at the late-June national championships in Calgary.

See Bishop, Page 26

Bigger game than the playoffs just keeps on going As you may already have read, organizers for Michelle Smithʼs fivekilometre run or walk in Calabogie last Saturday were hoping to get 50 people out to lend their support.

It turns out, well over 200 people participated. Some didnʼt even know Michelle.

But they do know cancer, and all are firing pucks its way to beat it.

Cancer has affected everybody in one form or another.

That is why the Renfrew Collegiate Raiders are hosting their annual Relay for Life event from 7 p.m. to

Tough time for Angel(s): During the opening round of the Players Championship last week, one television announcer noted that Angel Cabrera withdrew after the first round of the tournament for personal reasons.

“Ya, he had a nine on a par 3,” his cohort quickly answered.

Meanwhile, Albert Pujols left the World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals to sign a contract worth

about $240 million over 10 years with the Los Angeles Angels.

Pujolsʼ deal gives him more cash that some small countries. As of Tuesday, he was on pace to hit around four home runs this season.

Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rangers hit four home runs in one game last week. * * * Two overtime games Iʼll never forget as a Red Wing fan are Steve Yzermanʼs double OT game-seven goal versus the St. Louis Blues in 1996, and a 2002 triple overtime

thriller the Wings won in game 3 of the Stanley Cup final over the Carolina Hurricanes.

Detroitʼs winning goal came off the stick of Igor Larionov.

And for this week: If the New York Rangers should win the Stanley Cup, it would make four Original Six title winners in five years. The two missing links – Montreal and Toronto.

The Rangers last won the Cup in 1994 when they ended a 54-year drought with their seven-game triumph over the Vancouver Canucks.

What better way to celebrate Motherʼs Day than with a hole in one.

Thatʼs what 75-yearold Evelyn Campbell did on Friday, May 11.

To make it even more special, she was surrounded by her daughters and grandchildren.

The amazing feat was accomplished on hole No. 5 at Dragonfly Golf Links in Renfrew.

Evelyn, who is “not a golfer” didnʼt even witness it go in. As soon as she hit it, she turned away. However, her excitement hit high as it can be seen on Dragonflyʼs Facebook page with her comment along with picture “WHOoooEEE. That was fun!”

A plaque with the ball will be hung in the Dragonfly pro shop for the year and then given to Evelyn when the 2012 season wraps up.

McDonald was accompanied by Que, and later Jasper, on the six-kilometre fundraising walk, but both guide dogs have passed on, handing the reins over to Murphy.

With Murphy by his side, McDonald has raised almost $10,000 in two years.

Keith and wife Lynnda, daughter Christie, son-in-law Todd Lynch, and grandchildren Lindsay and Mason all made the walk in 2011.

Again this year, McDonald can be found raising funds at the main door of Renfrew Wal-Mart.

He is also quick to point out the deal Sandy Gombik of Precious Pets has given pet owners.

Amanda Hoare and Allison Clarke topped their respective squads with nine points each.

Amy Felhaber scored 14 points in the ďŹ rst half to give Bananas a commanding 24-11 lead over AikenheadĘźs. Bananas then cruised to a 41-23 victory.

Valley Pride brings home bronze Valley Pride bantam girls basketball

The Valley Pride bantam girls team had a great weekend in Ottawa, winning the bronze medal at the Ontario Cup U14 provincial championships in April.

With victories over Kingston and Nepean and a close four-point loss to Niagara Falls in the preliminary round in division 10, the girls advanced to the playoff round.

In a tight contest in the semiďŹ nal, the girls lost to eventual gold medal winning Brockville in a back-and-forth game.

With the loss, the team was set to play Niagara Falls for a second time for the bronze medal.

This time the team was determined the outcome would be different.

With a strong start and consistent play throughout the game, the Valley Pride girls

opened a big lead and never let Niagara back into the game, winning by 12 points.

Coaches Jeff Heath and Joe Lavoie could not have been more proud of the team, and how they came together and grew throughout the season.

RCI junior girls post a win and three ties Poker walk June 2 Dana Jennings

The Renfrew Collegiate Raiders posted a 1-0 triumph over the Fellowes Falcons in Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association junior girls soccer action Monday, May 7. Saralyn Deslaurier scored the goal while Drew Shalla earned the shutout.

The Raiders also registered three draws in windy weather conditions May 10 during a day of action at both the MaTe-Way Park and St. Josephʼs High School soccer pitches.

The Raiders drew 1-1 against the Bishop Smith Crusaders and Mackenzie Mustangs, and also battled to a goalless draw versus the Fellowes Falcons.

Bria Katsoulis and JosieLynn Diotte were RCI goalgetters.

Drew Shalla earned her second shutout of the week.

Coach Ed Oegema said Jenika Steele, Kennedy Payton and Natalie Doering turned in solid performances throughout the day for RCI. The senior girls overcame a 2-0 deficit with goals from Adrianne Guty and Kristine Miller in the final 10 minutes to secure a 2-2 tie with the Arnprior Redmen.

Guty tended goal in the first half for RCI, and Brittany Godin in the second.

The Junior Raiders and Fellowes played to a wide-open 3-3 deadlock in the junior boys loop.

Youʼve no doubt heard of a Poker Run. Thatʼs a popular activity around the Ottawa Valley.

Poker runs take place on motorcycles, dirt bikes, ATVs and snowmobiles and even by boat. But how about a Poker Walk?

Thatʼs whatʼs happening in Eganville on June 2 as a fundraiser for the Eganville 100 Mile Farmers Market which opens on Friday, June 29. This is the first full season for the market and the funds from the Poker Walk will help to cover some of the initial start-up costs, such as insurance. The fees paid by the market vendors will cover the ongoing expenses and advertising.

It also coincides with the Mass Paddle from Wilber Lake to Eganville entitled Celebrate Our River: The Bonnechere that the Township of Bonnechere Valleyʼs Volunteer Community Development Committee is hosting.

The two events, even though they are different and will target different types of audiences, do complement each other as the area celebrates everything natural, such as river and food.

The Poker Walk will be held from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. and is just one part of a full day of activities taking place in Eganville that day.

At either the Eganville Arena

or the Bonnechere Museum, players may purchase a card for $10 and pull the first card there. They then proceed to the other stops along the route in any order they choose. The market committee is hoping for good weather so that players can enjoy a pleasant stroll around the village and visit places they may not regularly go to.

The other stops are the Bonnechere Union Public Library, the tourist information booth and the band shell in Centennial Park.

At each of the five stops, the player will pull a card which gets recorded by the volunteers at the stop. For those who wonʼt have time that day or arenʼt able to cover the entire route, they can visit either the arena or museum during the game hours and pull their entire hand there.

There are many prizes to be won, including the top prize of $100 cash.

The committee has been thrilled with the support from businesses who have donated prizes, including Eganvilleʼs Finest Ice Cream, Renfrew Chrysler, Friscoʼs, Burnettʼs Farm Machinery in Renfrew, Country Style Donuts, Sew Much More, Barclay Dick and Sons Farm Supply and Sun Media.

If youʼre feeling lucky, and even if youʼre not, youʼre invited to join the fun on June 2. After all, thereʼs a prize for the worst hand too!

People Helping People at Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support Jennifer Lane Program Support Assistant

Spring has been very busy here at Renfrew and Area Seniors Home Support, with the beginning of income tax season. This year we have had a great influx of people needing there income tax completed by us. We are so very fortunate to have wonderful volunteers who dedicate their time for the months of March and April to do these income tax returns.

This past month at Home Support we have been very busy with fundraising events.

Our Trivia Night which was held in the lounge at the Wing was a great success. Everyone who participated enjoyed themselves and left a little more knowledgeable and wanting to come to our next trivia night which we are hoping to hold in the fall.

Our Easter Luncheon was another event that was enjoyed by everyone who attended.

Thank you to Charlie Ricard for a wonderful ham meal as well as Barry Martin and Country Favorites for the music.

Our 50+ Community Showcase was held on April 21st at the Renfrew Wing.

We had 30 vendors to help seniors and family members

of seniors with questions they might have regarding their health, living arrangements, or organizations they could belong to.

We are looking forward to holding this event again next year.

Also on April 21st, the Renfrew Tea Rooms held its fifth anniversary and all proceeds from that day were donated to our Home Support. Thank you, Janice and Susan, for all you do for us. It is much appreciated. We would like to congratulate Joan Payton who was the winner of the $250 gas card, Bryan Hodgins $150 gas card and Mac McCallum $100 gas card.

You might wonder why we do so many fundraising events, well the reason for that is that the agency has to raise approximately $30,000 a year to help support the programs that we have for our seniors and adults with disabilities in Renfrew and surrounding area.

We are looking forward to a warm summer and hope to see you around and if you have any questions regarding our services please give us a call at 613-432-7691 or just drop in to our office as we would be more than happy to help you.

Eganville 100-mile Farmers’ Market to open June 29 Eganvilleʼs 100 Mile Farmersʼ Market is set to open June 29 after a successful one-day event last year.

The market will run 3 to 7 p.m. each Friday from June 29 to Aug. 31 in the Rotary Building at the Legion Field. Due to fewer daylight hours, the schedule for Sept. 7 to Oct. 5 will be 3 to 6 p.m. The buildingʼs address is 8 Foran Street.

Physical activity guidelines promoted in elementary schools Renfrew County and District Health Unit

For good health, children need at least 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity each day.

However, the according to the Active Healthy Kids Canada Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth (2011), only 9 per cent of boys and 4 per cent of girls meet the new Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines.

This has significant implications for chronic disease indicators, and there is growing concern that childhood inactivity is leading to increased obesity and obesity-related illness.

The Renfrew County and District Health Unit is promoting materials to elementary schools to encourage teachers, principals, and parents to work together to ensure children are getting the activity they need to grow up healthy.

Adults need to be active too! Adults (18 years and older) need to be physically active for at least 150 minutes or two and half hours each week in order to achieve health benefits. Go to www.csep.ca/english/view.asp?x=804 to access the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines.

People in Renfrew County and District who wish to increase their physical activity level have several options.

During the winter months many schools and public places offer an indoor walking program, which is a free way to stay active. People can also increase their exercise levels by taking advantage of Renfrew Countyʼs wide selection of trails and outdoor activity opportunities. So get up, get out and get active. For more information call the Renfrew County and District Health Unit at 613-735-8651 or 1-800-267-1097.

Farmers’ Market Continued from Page 29

A team of volunteers has been meeting on a monthly basis since the marketʼs debut, to contact vendors and make arrangements for the 2012 season. Some of the 20 vendors at last Septemberʼs one-day market said they would definitely be back.

“We now have a dozen vendors at the market,” said market registrar Rita Barrette in a news release.

“The number is growing as the season approaches, producersʼ plans get firmer and the word is spreading.”

Vendors looking for more information, or to reserve a spot, should call Barrette at 613-6282980. Customers can expect to find farm fresh

produce, meat, baked goods, preserves as well as very creative crafts, said Barrett.

Returning vendors will include Moonlight Crofters from Douglas with beef, chicken and turkey and a wide variety of vegetables; Cakes in a Jar, also from Douglas; and Bethʼs Kitchen, of Renfrew, with baking and preserves.

Eganvilleʼs Temperate Gardens will offer plants, vegetables and garden supplies. Two new vendors, from Renfrew, will be Pinnacle Haven Farm with lamb, beef, vegetables, herbs and their own mint jelly, and Graham and Mary Ann Wall with fresh vegetables, herbs and garlic.

Each week, the market will provide a free community booth to a non-profit organization for fundraising or to promote awareness of the organization. To reserve this booth, contact Judy Sauve at 628-9898.

NATURE

Your Community Newspaper

A good year predicted for tree sparrows and bluebirds Jim and Ila: I had a chance this Sunday to do a quick count on the tree swallow/blue bird boxes I have around the Eganville area. Of the 55 boxes, 41 have tree swallows in them and five have bluebirds.

It seems to be a good year again this year with about the same numbers returning as last year.

Last spring was cold and killed a few tree swallows.

For the first time I found some dead adult birds in nest boxes.

We had some snow and cold a week or so back, but it didn’t seem as intense and drawn out and I don’t think it took the toll on the birds as the spring of 2011 did. Results are looking good so far. I will report again in late August with an up-date.

Ryan Hoelke Thank you, Ryan. These stats are good to have.

WHIP-POOR-WILLS

SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE

Mountain in Admaston/Bromley. Friday evening, May 6, there was a three-way shouting contest, among the birds.

Ah, spring is here again.

Maureen and Len Springer Steve, Rubylynn, Dannica, Kolton and Kale Osipenko heard whip-poor-wills calling this past week near their home in Horton. Steve said the birds seemed to be calling from several different directions.

Female whip-poor-wills lay their eggs so that they hatch during the following full moon. The moths they catch to feed their young will easier to see. The birds hunt by sight not by sound.

Marlene Hanneman heard whip-poor-wills, red-eyed vireos and brown thrashers this week. These birds are some of the first we learn to identify by their calls and songs.

The whip-poor-wills are not forgotten once heard at night.

The red-eyed vireo is known

as a persistent singer; one closely observed individual gave its one-second scolding song 22,000 times in 10 hours.

The brown thrasherʼs always different, two, sometimes three note songs are a delight to hear. They can also mimic the songs of other species.

INDIGO BUNTING

Ron Huntley heard and then saw the first indigo bunting to return to his property in Lanark. Ron said he recognized the repeated two note phrases and shortly after the male appeared singing from the top of a low bush.

The sweet-sweet, zwetzwet, swee-swee, call with the first two phrases two notes higher than the second are very clear. Only the male sings. Females are very seldom seen because they do display as the males do, and will flush from the nest and scurry away into the long grass.

Cuaigʼs home. She says she still likes to see them even though they are harmful to her trees. Sapsuckers drill holes in the bark of most trees, allowing the sap to run. The birds use their long tongues to lap up the sweet sap. It also attracts ants and ruby-throated hummingbirds to get food.

The holes drilled by sapsuckers allow diseases to enter the bark and kill the tree.

WHITE-CROWNED

feathers than raspberry red ones. The bird is bright red on the top of its head and on the wings. There are a few red feathers in the breast and tail as well. Vicki says the finch travels with the other purple finches and there does not seem to be any conflict between them.

Dodie Bailey reports yellow-rumped warblers at their cottage and Moira Fraser has a Baltimore oriole that has taken a liking for the nectar in

Sylvia Smith has whitecrowned sparrows still at her feeder. This handsome bird has been used in experiments related to migration and orientation.

Birds captured and released 35 miles (56 km) from home produced the highest rates of return, as did those released 60-100 miles (98-156 km) from home. Those released in between were not successful.

$

PARTIAL ALBINO SAPSUCKERS

Yellow-bellied sapsuckers have returned to Carol Mc-

Dave and Vicki Thompson sent us pictures of a purple finch that has more white

her hummingbird feeder.

During the next two weeks we should see many of our summertime warblers arrive.

Since most birds like sugar water, watch for some unusual visitors at your hummingbird feeders.

Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, RR 5, Renfrew, Ont., K7V 3Z8. Phone 613-4322738 or email us at jamesh@ nrtco.net

COMMUNITY

Your Community Newspaper

Proud to be Canadian and of cultural roots Leading up to the Ottawa Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Diversity Festival July 7 in Renfrew, Ont., organizers invite you to meet some of the many diverse individuals who make up our unique and wonderful community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Renfrew County is so diverse and so multicultural and this is a great time to celebrate that,â&#x20AC;? said Madawaska Valley Mayor David Shulist.

Shulist is well-known locally and on a broader stage for his work with the Kashubian Heritage Society, promoting local Polish-Kashub culture and forging ties between Wilno and the Madawaska Valley and ofďŹ cials and cultural activists in Poland, particularly in the KaszĂŤbĂŤ province. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Diversity Festival is a great idea,â&#x20AC;? says Shulist.

Having just celebrated Kashub Day, a celebration of the culture, he says it is important to recognize what makes each of us unique.

Wilno and Shulist just hosted a very special visit from Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;HeĘźs the ďŹ rst Kashub to ever be elected to Polish ofďŹ ce,â&#x20AC;? said Shulist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As far as diversity goes, when you become Canadian and youĘźve been here

for years, itĘźs important to remember where you came from,â&#x20AC;? said Shulist.

Shulist is a ďŹ fth-generation Canadian and says that years ago, promoting cultural diversity just was not done.

In fact, he did not grow up knowing he was Kashub, but learned later about his culture and his people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;WeĘźre proud to be Canadian and proud of our roots,â&#x20AC;? said Shulist.

An example of promoting the areaĘźs various diverse cultures, said Shulist, is the Opeongo Heritage Cup, a hockey tournament made up of teams from each of four main groups â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Germans, Kashubs, Irish and Algonquins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;ItĘźs really a promotion of our cultures while playing CanadaĘźs game,â&#x20AC;? said Shulist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We accept diversity, we accept multiculturalism,â&#x20AC;? he said.

For this summerĘźs Diveristy Festival, Shulist will dress in Kashub gear and bring a related information display and hopes to line up a musician known for playing Kashubian favourites. He will also feature diversity festival committee member Alana Emon on his radio program Radio

event with another showing 4 to 6 p.m. DragonĘźs Breath premieres June 30 at 7 p.m. in Almonte at the Old Town Hall Auditorium. For more information or to sign up, email diversityfestivalinformation@ gmail.com visit us on Facebook at www.facebook/DiversityFestival.

Faces of Diversity

David Shulist Kashubi on Heritage Radio in the next few weeks.

Shulist has worked tirelessly to promote the Kashub culture and to improve his community, devoting his energies to the development of the Heritage Park in Wilno, CanadaĘźs ďŹ rt Kashub settlement, and the restoration of the Opeongo Heritage Trail, which was largely responsible for bringing the ďŹ rst settlers to the Madawaska Valley area.

The Festival kicks off Friday, July 6, with DragonĘźs Breath, a theatrical performance at 7 p.m. at Trinity-St. AndrewĘźs United Church and the festival is Saturday, July 7, 9 a.m.- 4 p.m., at RenfrewĘźs Low Square.

EVENTS Plenty of action at Hog Wild Pork Festival

Your Community Newspaper

Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

The inaugural Hog Wild Pork Festival brings two days of food, information and entertainment to Renfrew this May long weekend.

“We want to promote stuff in the area,” said chief organizer Jeff Woito of his reasoning behind the two-day festival at the Renfrew Fairgrounds this Saturday and Sunday.

“Letʼs start bringing people to town on the weekend and promoting what we have.”

Not only that, Woito says proceeds will go to a good cause. “Itʼs to raise money for sports in town (and area),” says Woito, who came to Renfrew in 1969 as a kid.

Woito says he has high aspirations for the festival that he hopes to turn into an annual affair.

Expenses will be covered with the help of admission charges. They are $15 for adults, $5 for kids under 12, and $25 for adult weekend passes.

Food vendors on site will include Spanky Spuds, Margiʼs (which is producing a motorcycle breakfast), Sledzz Smokinʼ BBQ, Eganvilleʼs Finest Ice Cream, and Renfrew Pizzeria.

One of Woitoʼs festival goals is to grow the barbecue competition into one of Canadaʼs best. Saturdayʼs event, sanctioned by the Canadian Barbecue Association, will feature about 20 teams in the Chicken ʻnʼ Rib Cookoff.

They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal; But neither time nor reason, Will change the way I feel.

For no one knows the heartache, That lies behind our smiles, No one knows how many times, We have broken down and cried.

We want to tell you something, So there won’t be any doubt, You’re so wonderful to think of, But so hard to be without.

The moment that you died, My heart spilt in two, The one side filled with memories, The other died with you.

I take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon my cheeks, Remembering you “Sis” is easy, I do it every day But missing you is a heartache, That never goes away.

This memory of our dear grandson, Will linger with us all our days, Sweetest flower, too sweet to stay, God took him away.

It’s May again, and year number nine.

And though we seem to be doing just fine.

Our hearts still ache when we remember that day The phone call, the panic, “we’re on our way” Your friends were amazing Your co-workers the best As life’s worst nightmare came to give us the test Though life can be hard, You always would say, Don’t worry…relax…live life for today, So I try to remember those words in my head The important things in life…is what you said…

It’s family and friends, and trying new things It’s forgiving and forgetting And dealing with whatever life brings You’ll never be forgotten, I promise you this You live on in my heart, so I let you go with a kiss

Gone but not forgotten, Memories are forever, Will always be in our hearts.

May 16, 1986 - May 15, 2005 Ryan, “our Son, our Moon, our Stars” You were definitely a gift sent straight from Heaven.

Given to us from God above.

We did not know how much you would teach us, About the meaning of true love...

For true love sometimes means letting go, Of someone so precious and dear.

That is what we were forced to do, Although we wanted to keep you here!!!

Ryan, in our hearts we truly believe, That God must have needed you more...

To save lives or perhaps to be an Angel now, Full of wisdom and love, Watching over those of us who love you, From the shining stars above.

We miss you more than you can ever know.

You could never be replaced...

In our hearts and memories forever, Will be your beautiful sleeping face.
