Rev. Patrick James Blakeʼs love of sport and community go hand-in-hand with his faith. For the past five decades, ʻFather Patʼ, as he is widely known, has made it his lifeʼs work – whether in the hockey rink as a member of the legendary Flying Fathers or celebrating mass in all the churches in which he has had appointments across the Diocese of Pembroke – to bring God to everyone and everyone to God. Saturday, May 26 marked 50 years to the day Father Pat was ordained to the priest-

hood at Most Holy Name of Jesus Church in Pembroke. And the milestone did not go unnoticed. Family members, parishioners and the Most Rev. Michael Mulhall, Bishop of Pembroke, were among those at Most Precious Blood Parish in Calabogie to celebrate the ordination as Father Pat said mass. He is also the parish priest for St. Patrick Parish in Mount St. Patrick and members of that congregation were also in attendance, although they will be having their own celebration for him in June. Born to James Patrick Blake and Lillian Needham on Feb.

25, 1934 in Pembroke, Father Pat was the only boy in a family that included four sisters – one of whom became a nun (Sister Margaret Blake). Father Pat said his vocation took hold at an early age. “It was a calling. It was something that was always with me,” he recalled. “Faith is a gift. It is something you receive. But you also have to keeping working at it.” He attended elementary school at Holy Name School in Pembroke, and high school at St. Columbaʼs Boys School. He pursued his philosophy and theology education at St. Peterʼs Seminary in London,

Ont. Following his ordination, Father Pat served at St. Martinʼs parish in Whitney for the summer of 1962. From 1962-65, he was at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Pembroke. From there he served at St. Francis Xavier in Renfrew from 1965-69, St. John Chrysostom in Arnprior from 1969-1976, St. Columbkille Cathedral in Pembroke from 1977-1994 and from 1994 to present he has served at Most Precious Blood and St. Patrickʼs. “I have found it rewarding to be available to people and help them,” he said.

“You look at the dates (of service) and you wonder where the time has gone.” An avid athlete, Father Pat spent nearly 30 years as a member of the Flying Fathers – the group of Canadian Roman Catholic priests who toured North America and Europe as a hockey team, playing exhibition games against local teams to raise money for charities. The organization folded in 2009. Father Pat received high praise during his celebratory mass from Bishop Mulhall. During his homily, he said it was “an honour” for him to speak on the priestʼs behalf.

Left: a relaxed Father Pat Blake with The Most Rev. Mi- As the Knights of Columbus provide an honour guard, Rev. Patrick Blake leaves his mass of thanksgiving celebrating chael Mulhall, Bishop of the Diocese of Pembroke, during the 50th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood at Most Precious Blood Church accompanied by Deacon Mike the reception. Doherty of St. John Chrysostom Church in Arnprior.

Flying Father is celebrated for 50 years in the priesthood Continued from front

“Fifty years is a great achievement for priesthood or any vocation,â€? he said. “The Lord has chosen Father Pat in a mysterious and unique way. The calling to the priesthood is overpowering.â€? Bishop Mulhall said every person is called to religious life in a similar, yet different way, and that “a unique conversationâ€? takes place between the individual and God. “That conversation is a conversation that is a blessed and sacred conversation. It begins with someone who knows Father Pat better than himself.â€? He noted priests like Father Pat can talk of “all the joysâ€? of the priesthood, but he acknowledged there are things “words can never express.â€? Bishop Mulhall, who has held the position in Pembroke for the past ďŹ ve years, didnĘźt shy away from widely reported cases of historical sexual assaults involving former priests from the diocese. He referred to these incidents as “sad events within our priesthood,â€? but said celebrations like Father PatĘźs milestone in the priesthood offer up hope and faith for the future. “God is continuing to call and continues to hold steady those he has called to the priesthood,â€? he said. “The Lord has always opened his heart to Father Pat. He always has and always will ‌ Father Pat was ordained to live among the people who have been chosen for him.â€? Following the celebration mass, a reception was held in the St. JosephĘźs Catholic School hall. Accolades for Father Pat followed as speaker after speaker spoke of a man

who was approachable, and part of the community with strong devotion to this faith, which he shared with others. “We are so proud of you, Father, and so fortunate to have you as our pastor and a member of our community,â€? said Sharon Ladouceur, a member of the Most Precious Blood parish. Renfrew County Catholic District School Board trustee Andy Bray of Braeside said he has known Father Blake for more than 30 years and praised him for all he does for the community and Catholic education. “As long as I have known you, we have always been inspired by your tireless dedication to the Catholic parishes you have served, your unwavering strength of faith within our community as well as your tremendous generosity,â€? Bray said. “I offer my sincere appreciation for your tremendous contribution.â€? St. JosephĘźs principal Jody Weller spoke of Father PatĘźs constant presence in her Calabogie school – not only in a religious capacity. She said the priest is often seen playing oor hockey with staff and students. “Father, you really do have a strong presence in our school. It is an honour to be part of your journey,â€? she said. Dan Nicholas, from the Arnprior council of the Knights of Columbus, said the organization has sent away for a Papal Blessing for Father Pat, but it had not arrived from Rome in time for SaturdayĘźs celebration. Greater Madawaska Town-

Pat Blake, seen the day he was ordained as a priest (May 26, 1962) in Pembroke, adorns a cake celebrating the milestone last Saturday. ship Mayor Peter Emon spoke of a man who was not only part of the community but also represented it well. “It is not often we get to honour people who are the foundation of our communities. Father is the foundation of our community,â€? Emon stated, before presenting Father Pat with a plaque from the township. “You represent the community with good grace and wisdom ‌ we are fortunate to have you with us.â€? Any speeches about Father Pat would not be complete without reference to his days on the ice with the Flying Fathers. M.J. Blimkie, a teammate of Father PatĘźs, shared a few stories of their time on the ice. He said one time the team was in Halifax and they were staying in a convent. The nun there accused them of raiding the kitchen, but they all denied it. Then, Father Pat and teammate Rev. Vaughan Quinn came in, and they denied it too. “Some of them didnĘźt want

to look in the mirror the next day,� Blimkie said to laughter. He also recalled a time when the team was travelling in the United States with souvenirs to sell. Not to want to have to pay the tax man there, Blimkie recalled how Father Pat smartly told the border guard they

were going to be given away, therefore there would be no tax to pay. Father Pat himself said being part of the Flying Fathers was another way of reaching people and bringing Christ to them in a different way. And, he admitted, sometimes even other priests didnĘźt know what to make of the team. “The ďŹ rst time we went to Germany, the clergy there werenĘźt sure what to make of us,â€? he said, referring to the fact priests there were still wearing cassocks (the long black ankle-length robe with white buttons down the front). “Here we were, on the ice and playing hockey.â€? Irish blessings were given to Father Pat by several people, including his sister – Sister Margaret Blake. The ďŹ nal words of the day went to the man who was marking his Golden Jubilee in the priesthood. “It is a milestone. I am very

grateful to God for giving me this vocation,â€? Blake told the large group of well-wishers gathered in the gymnasium. “It has been a long life but it has gone quickly.â€? He noted his appointment at Calabogie was supposed to only be for six years, but it has clearly stretched out longer than that. “I could have probably gone,â€? he said. “But, I thought I should probably stay where happiness seems to prevail in my life.â€? Father Pat still loves to ski, play hockey and ice skate. He enjoys being in the community and noted the “people in the community are part of GodĘźs family.â€? With a shortage of priests in the Catholic church, Father Pat has no plans to retire anytime soon. “It is up to the bishop, but I think, with all the shortage of priests, I will keep going as long as a can.â€?

RCI’s Relay for Life exceeds goal by almost $25,000 Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

Renfrew Collegiate Institute students and staff for exceeded their fundraising goal of $95,000 at their sixth annual Relay for Life in the ďŹ ght against cancer at Ma-Te-Way Park Friday night and Saturday. No one expected theyĘźd reach upwards of $120,000. The amount raised by the school and Relay for LifeĘźs supporters was up to $119,670 by Monday morning. A heavy but brief rainfall put a scare into organizers and participants about an hour before the relay began, but things cleared up quickly, leaving a beautiful night for the 12-hour walk. This yearĘźs theme was Relay Around the World. More than 6,000 places around the world host Relay for Life events. 61 TEAMS

There was no shortage of participation in the schoolĘźs 2012 Relay for Life. There were 61 teams plus cancer survivors. When survivorsĘź family members are factored in, there could have been as many as 800 people at Ma-Te-Way Park, if not more, when the eveningĘźs festivities began. “It went very well. Even the monsoon rain didnĘźt dampen the day,â€? staff and committee

member Liz Wright said. “We are very overwhelmed by the generosity of the community and how they pulled together to ďŹ ght this disease. Cancer knows no bounds.â€? Wright noted that fundraising events in the weeks leading up to Relay for Life also contributed to the cause. RCI hosted a Relay for Life breakfast at the school, Bonnie Kerr Carnival of Hope at Ma-Te-Way, and a combined car wash and bake sale at Low Square. RELAY FOR LIFE

The 12-hour event ofďŹ cially kicked off with the survivor lap. There was also a survivor tree planting, bake sale, barbecue, head shaving, silent auction, and the lighting of luminaries at 10 p.m. Inatables and other events went on throughout the night. “This year is a very special year, not just because this is our sixth annual relay,â€? chairperson Meghan Forgie said to the crowd during the opening ceremonies. “This year, our Relay for Life is in memory of our dear ďŹ end Hillary Afelskie, who passed away tragically earlier this year. “Tonight, we are not only honouring Hillary, but we are honouring those who have lost their battle to cancer. We are taking time to celebrate

the strength and courage of our cancer ďŹ ghters and survivors,â€? Forgie added. “Tonight is a night of sadness and mourning, but also a night of celebration and hope. “Our school community has come together tonight. We are grateful to have St. JosephĘźs (Catholic High School) joining us this year. Together, we will make cancer history!â€? Forgie said. Cam Whalen, youth specialist co-ordinator of the Canadian Cancer Society for Eastern Ontario, attends both the RCI fundraising breakfast and Relay for Life yearly. “Thank you to the survivors for being here. We do this for you,â€? said Whalen. Whalen said these events honour both the people who have beaten cancer and those who have lost their battle to the disease. “You do it for people that you love. “Yes, you are making a difference,â€? he stressed. Annie Beimers has experienced the tragedy cancer can bring to a family, and was quick to applaud the efforts of the organizers. “ItĘźs so important. I think RCI does such a good job of doing this. “On the South McNaughton line where I live, there isnĘźt one house that hasnĘźt had someone with cancer. There are at least 12 to 16. We donĘźt know how they got it.â€?

Each year at Relay for Life, an addition is made to the Survivor Garden at Ma-Te-Way Park. Performing the honours this year, from left, are Edythe Elmore, Ray Pender and Karen Pender. In back are Relay for Life staff advisor Michael Wright and committee member Hilary Stafford. Following the relayĘźs opening lap in their honour, survivors made their way over to the survivor garden. Edythe Elmore and Ray and Karen Pender planted a sixth shrub. “We plant a new scrub to the garden every year,â€? committee member Hilary Stafford said. The Hillbilly Legacies, a

team made up of family members and friends of Hillary Afelskie, raised $11,152. St. JosephĘźs had six student teams plus a team of staff members and contributed $8,000. “It was a great experience,â€? staff member Alana Hamel said. “We had events leading up to it. Everyone had fun.â€?

There were three team prizes this year, handed out in the wee hours of the morning. They went to Dragons; Big and Small, LetĘźs Save them All; and the North Pole Nuts. Forgie thanked the community, and the businesses for their support in helping Relay for Life continue to be a tremendous success.

So much for million-dollar profits: solar projects nixed for now steve.newman@metroland.com

Mondayʼs unanimously supported motion called for council to direct staff “to advise iSolara that no further work is to be done on the Renfrew solar project and that staff provide notice to iSolara that the project is terminated.” With work by Ottawa consultant iSolara, the town had made four solar site applications to the Ontario Power Authority prior to the October 2011 deadline. This work cost about $60,000, of which about $20,000 is probably retrievable through security deposits, if the town totally withdraw its applicatins to the OPA. The townʼs applications were submitted in September 2011, but Asselin says the Ontario Power Authority backdated all applications filed after December 2010, meaning all applications filed after that date will be subject to new rates and new regulations. This means Renfrew, and other municipalities and organizations, must make new applications to the OPA.

“The Ontario Power Authority has now changed the rules to the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) program and changes the rates as well, and they havenʼt (yet) defined what the rules are,” he told The Mercury. “We know the rates have decreased and, in the end, with the uncertainty about where the rules are going, council felt it was time to bring our existing contract and the relationship with the consultant to an end. “Then weʼll re-evaluate the solar projects when the new rules and rates are established, and we know what we are dealing with.” Estimated profits from the townʼs solar projects were as high as $7 million over the next 20 years. Also, iSolara had estimated the cost of solar panel construction for the four buildings housing the solar projects at $3.4 million, with $2.8 million of that needed to fix the Innovation Centre roof. However, in recent months, those estimate costs were reduced somewhat. The most recent financial forecast shows that ʻpaybackʼ would start to be recouped, depending on the building, by the sixth to ninth year However, Asselin also said the financial rules havenʼt been finalized by OPA, “so weʼre still in limbo.” Coun. Tom Anderson said he had a “sour taste” in his mouth about OPA pulling the plug on the promised rate scale. “I feel we got the shaft on this … I feel someone needs to be taken to task on this.” “What we thought was a bright-looking venture … has somewhat dramatically changed,” admitted Mayor Bill Ringrose. Nevertheless, Asselin said it appears the solar projects, although less profitable under

tailed the detailed applications to OPA. If the project is revisited,

part two would include the preparation of details designs and approval of solar systems.

Renfrewʼs plans to make millions on local roof-top solar projects may not be realized. The townʼs development and works director, Mike Asselin, informed council members Monday night that revenue from solar panels connected to the provincial power grid has been reduced significantly. The previous rate of 70 cents will now be about 53 cents per kilowatt hour. Depending on the facility, the tariff revenue would be 53.9 to 54.8 cents per kilowatt hour. The drop in revenue will still allow solar panels on the roofs of the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre, Innovation Centre, water treatment plant and municipal hall a profitable exercise to generate substantial revenue. But uncertainty about new regulations being developed has convinced council to step away from the solar projects, at least for now.

“This was a complete surprise,” said Asselin. The town was looking at solar projects as a good way to create revenue that would help reduce taxes.

Hope you can be with us. Check website for more details.

NO CAP FUNDING

Industry Canada has pulled the plug on its Community Access Program (CAP), effective March 31, 2012. “Our library received $3,558 in CAP funding last year,” Bruce Parker of the Greater Madawaska Public Library Board said in correspondence to council. Without CAP funding, the library will struggle to provide public access computers and will have a negative impact on users who tend to be children, students, low-income adults, rural families and retirees, people who canʼt afford their own computers and/or cannot access high-speed broadband, Parker added. He said the shortfall in the libraryʼs budget will also pass off a federal cost to local municipalities. At its May 24 meeting, council passed a motion call-

Council heard from the Barnet Park Committee, a group that looks after the upkeep of the park. At committee-of-the-whole May 17, the committee first proposed to council the building of a heritage museum on the property. The committee has been together for 10 years and has raised well over $150,00 towards the park, chairman John Bonnar said. “The history of Greater Madawaska is slipping away,”

said committee member John Pratt. “Barnet Park is a choice location for this heritage centre.” Pratt explained that the residents of all three wards in the township could contribute to the project. Donated items could be stored in each ward until such time as the museumʼs completion. The building would be known as the Greater Madawaska Heritage Centre. The cost is estimated at $75,000. If given the go-ahead, the committee hopes to have the building started by Sept. 30 of this year. They assured council they are not looking to put the financial onus on the taxpayers. Mayor Peter Emon said council will provide an answer in August or early September.

Last year, Renfrew County replaced the single-lane bridge that crosses Constant Creek on Ferguson Lake Road in Greater Madawaska Township with a temporary structure. The one-lane bridge allows access for heavier vehicles such as fire trucks, and has a life expectancy of about 10 years. Greater Madawaska Mayor Peter Emon said the township is pushing the county to get the permanent bridge put down in the next five or six years. “They will formulate a plan on when theyʼll do it,” the mayor said. Residents in the area were given the opportunity to express any concerns, and are happy with plans for a wider, two-lane bridge. It will cross Constant Creek on a different angle. “The two lanes will make it a much safer structure,” Mayor Emon said.

ing for Renfrew County residents to contact the federal government to express their displeasure with the cancellation of CAP funding. If the Government of Canada does not reverse its decision, council said this will ensure that 2.4 million people in Ontario and countless other Canadians who visit CAPfunded sites will be deprived of reliable and equitable Internet access. It is reported that 54 per cent of CAP-funded sites are located in rural of remote areas with limited means and scarce resources. Council recommends that all residents of Renfrew County contact the Canadian government to express their displeasure with the cancellation of CAP funding. Council will forward this

Get ready for the gathering storm in La Belle Province Jean Charest. How the perpetually unpopular Houdini of Quebec politics manages to get himself out of this double whammy is anyoneʼs guess, but that too should be entertaining. But compared to the woes that Europe is enduring, the problems of our eastern neighbours pale in comparison – but, eventually, if things go nuclear in Europe, thereʼs no way it canʼt not hit us here. Think about how much trade we do with the European Union. Then, about how much tourism we get from Europe. That alone is cause for concern here in Canada. We weathered the first wave – are we strong enough for a second round?

Itʼs going to be a hot summer in Quebec, and weʼre not talking about the weather. The inquiry into alleged sleazy dealings in Quebecʼs construction industry, and the toocozy relationship between politicians, mostly Liberals, and alleged Mafia-backed, shadowy construction types, is bound to make for blockbuster TV viewing in la Belle Province this summer, possibly rivaling the London Summer Olympics. Oh, and donʼt forget the student protests either, with more than 400 people having been arrested over the long weekend. Student leaders are vowing to take to the streets over the summer to keep up the pressure on Premier

A report in The Guardian recently said that if Greece leaves the Eurozone of countries that use the euro currency, it could cost Britain more than a trillion dollars. Yes, thatʼs trillion with a T. And thatʼs just for Great Britain, a country that does not even use the euro. The British government is already working on contingency plans if Greece goes back to the drachma, but already there are fears that Britain could not only go into a double dip recession, but a longer, darker, deeper recession than The Great Recession we just went through. As though that were possible. The Organization for Economic Cooperation

and Development warned earlier this week that Europe is at risk of a “severe recession.” Think about what this would mean for Canada. We emerged from the last recession better than any other G8 country. This time around, we might not be so lucky. And just think about what a huge trading partner Britain is for us here in Canada, and the knock-on effects that could have for us. Earlier this month, G8 leaders met at Camp David with President Obama, himself mindful that his country too is not yet out of the woods, and can ill afford yet another deadly recession.

Editorial: Gathering Storm From Page 8

Already, Spain, not the best, but certainly not the worst of the Mediterranean sputtering states, has an unemployment rate of 25 per cent. Yes, one in four people, not to mention a 50 per cent unemployment rate for young people. The political ramifications could bring results that are not yet evident, and could spell disaster for some countries. France has elected its first Socialist president in nearly two decades and, on the horizon, is the Irish referendum on the fiscal treaty, scheduled for today, May 31. The Yes side is leading in the polls, but weʼve seen how quickly things can turn in Europe these days. Either way, the Irish vote will be a game changer. Because things are moving so quickly in Europe, some Irish opposition politicians are already asking that the referendum be delayed until after the Greek election in mid-June, which the hard left appears set to win. Hereʼs how serious Ireland is taking this vote – the countryʼs finance minister has bluntly told his people that, if they vote No this month, he

will raise their taxes. Now thatʼs hardball. But maybe the Irish get what Franceʼs new president doesnʼt; that the treaty is not open to interpretation. The Germans are understandably upset, because if each treaty gets renegotiated every time there is a new government elected amongst its 27 members, nothing would ever get done, especially in the light of looming economic distress. And what are people on the streets of Montreal complaining about, after more than 100 days of protests? Paying a few hundred dollars extra in tuition to go to college or university – spread out over a seven-year period. And, in seven years, Quebec will still have the lowest tuition of any province in Canada or, indeed, North America. Remember that, somewhere, someone wants what you have – and wouldnʼt mind the problems you have. Would it be poetic justice if, once the student strike leaders graduate, there are no jobs for them because Quebec was not able to get its financial house in order to weather the gathering storm?

A key struggle for todayʼs farmers is to stay on the land and make it possible for the next generation of farmers to take their place. As a farm organization working to preserve the family farm fo future food production, I wanted to bring this serious issue of landgrabbing to the attention of farmers in Renfrew County. To my knowledge, it appears that in Renfrew County the issue of land-grabbing has not happened. I certainly encourage our local family farms to stay vigilant on this serious issue.

“CLOSING”

Letter: Watch for land-grabbing Such land is then used to grow crops for biofuels, to grow food for the exclusive use of the investor countryʼs population, to hold for speculative purposes or as a revenue stream for absentee investors. Farmers who once raised the food for their own people in these countries become precarious labourers on land they once owned, or they must leave the land and hope to find work elsewhere. In Canada, land-grabbing is facilitated by agriculture policies that lead to farmers becoming burdened with unsustainable debt loads. This is due in large part to Canadaʼs singleminded focus on expanding trade through increased exports instead of ensuring Canada has a sustainble and equitable food policy that allows us to be able to feed ourselves, and for our farmers to make a living.

Male hummingbirds demonstrate very aggressive behaviour Male ruby-throated hummingbirds demonstrate very aggressive behaviour when defending their territory, which usually includes a sugar/water feeder. Ron Huntley was able to observe the action and see the results. He describes the action: The dominant male pinning his opponent to the ground and standing on him was the result of an eight-hour fight for territory. The fight was vicious at times with squeals and cries. This was at 5 oʼclock in the evening and I thought it was over, as I have seen this happen three times in the past five years. The next morning, however, they were at it again, but only for two hours before victory was declared. Good thing too, because the female showed up six hours later. It was only a short time before the male was doing his courting flight of 20 foot “U”s. The male hummerʼs courting flight is definitely a sight to hear and see. It is the loud humming that will draw your attention. Take time to look. port. Ryan Hoelke at Eganville

is in search of purple martin colonies in Renfrew County. To our knowledge the colonies that were in Renfrew and on the Ottawa River are gone (that includes two colonies in Portage). The fate of the birds is unknown but insect spraying with DDT on their wintering grounds in Brazil has been blamed for the loss of the birds. If there are any colonies in the area with even a few birds Ryan would like to help in any way he can to restore and strengthen them. He has been building martin houses and hopes to expand the number of colonies. Should you have a colony on your property or know where there is one, please call Ryan at 613-628-9663, or Ila and me at 613-432-2738. ORANGES FOR ORIOLES

Mary Turcotte has been looking for suggestions to provide oranges for the orioles. We suggested that she

hammer four or five three-inch nails through a wooden board and place half an orange on each one. If you have any suggestions, please send them on to us and we will publish them. The Turcottes had a flock of about 300 Brant geese fly over their property last week. It seems a bit late for them to be arriving. However, it could be that everything else is early. Some species, robins, for example, are raising their second and third broods. DUSTING A MUST

Louise Bradley had a female wild turkey dust herself in the Bradleysʼ garden for the better part of an hour. Forcing dust into the feathers helps birds maintain an optimum amount of oil in the feathers. Excess oil is absorbed by the dust and discarded along with dry skin and other debris. Dusting may also help get rid of feather parasites. Anting is another form of feather care. Blue jays will catch an ant and rub it into their feathers. Some species will spread their wings, lie on an anthill and

squirm to encourage the ants to spread among their feathers. It is thought that the defensive secretions (formic acid) of the ants will help discourage parasites from damaging the birdʼs feathers and infecting their skin. Bathing is another form of feather care and a very important one. There are many varieties of bird baths and as long as they are shallow, placed in an area where the birds are protected and kept clean, the birds will use them. The spray from a garden hose makes a good bird bath for hummers in particular. UNUSUAL LOCATION

Deanna Joe reports that a female robin is building her nest on top of another nest already on the patio table. The site must be a particularly good one for the birds to choose it twice. A tree swallow will build a second nest on top of the first if she finds a brown-headed cowbirdʼs egg in her nest. A robin will throw a cowbirdʼs egg out of her nest. Deanna says they finally have some action at one of

their wood duck houses. Common mergansers, hooded mergansers, screech owls, yellowshafted flickers and kestrels, as well as wood ducks will also nest in the boxes. Watching the action at the boxes once a family has moved

in can be very interesting. Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, RR 5, Renfrew, Ontario K7V 3 Z8. Email jamesh@ nrtco.net or phone 613-4322738.

After a false start, gardening season is finally underway, but itʼs important to apply a few easy tips so that you donʼt have conflicts with wildlife. First, though, remember that if you see a four-legged wild critter around your property, it is very likely a mother with babies stashed nearby. The birthing season is at its peak between April and July when adult animals seek out spots closer to us and away from predators. It is a temporary situa-

tion. Once the babies are a little bigger, mother will move them back to a more natural setting. In the meantime, donʼt take any action that you may regret until you check out www. wildlifeinfo.ca for humane solutions. In the Garden: Before taking down a tree or removing branches, check to make sure there arenʼt leaf nests or cavities that would be home to babies that would be too young to escape.

Watercolour Greater Madawaska Township artist’s leads 9-1-1 parade workshop June 9, 10 Peter Clark

peter.clark@metroland.com

Renfrew Art Guild

Events, no matter how big or small take a lot of planning. This month the Renfrew Art Guild co-hosted the Emily Carr movie Winds of Heaven. Sounds simple. Just get a location and show a movie. But what if you donʼt have the right equipment? What if people donʼt come? But, you get the right equipment with the help of good people and the people come, 100 of them. So why do you worry? Because you want things to go right and you donʼt want to disappoint anyone.

R0011390941_0510

Diana Wakely

Councillor Glenda McKay, the Greater Madawaska Townshipʼs representative on the Community Policing Advisory Committee, says false and/or hang-up 9-1-1 calls are on the rise. At CPACʼs most recent meeting, at Coun. McKayʼs request, OPP Staff-Sgt. Colin Slight presented the number of hours officers use up on such calls. Far and away, Greater Madawaska has outdone the other three municipalities repre-

sented by an alarming rate. Officers have spent 74.25 hours on these 9-1-1 calls initially, plus another 28.75 by assistant officers, for a total of 103 hours. That is well above Whitewater Region (43.75 plus 18.75), Horton (31.75, 15.50) and McNab-Braeside (49.50, 21.50). These calls come with a price tag to the township for man hours used, said McKay. “When you call 9-1-1 and hang up, thereʼs still hours associated with it. We need to educate people,” said McKay at Greater Madawaskaʼs council meeting May 24.

STEPHAN RATHWELL

We are also planning a workshop with Stephan Rathwell, a renowned watercolour artist from Ottawa, June 9 and 10. The same principles apply. It is a small group only 12 people but everything needs planning. The right location, the right advertising, and the right timing are all important. We still have a couple of spots remaining for the workshop at the Renfrew Armouries, so if you are interested contact Dwyene MacNabb at 613-752-2438. ART IN THE PARK

Well, to continue, we need to talk about the guildʼs Art In the Park July 14 and 15. A lot of planning goes on for such a large project. And I do mean large. With the co-operation of the Town, recreation department, Renfrew Industrial Commission, the tourism committee and others, the event will happen. As artist, most of us just want to paint or be creative. To sit down and deal with all the big and little details is a stretch and way out of our comfort zone! But, you know what? We have done it! With the help of local media, businesses and friends you are going to be in for a treat. There will be a tent village in Haramis Park that weekend with something for everyone.

Thirty-three artists will be displaying their works; music and food will be available. There will be a hands-on painting project that the public can take part in plus a Plein aire challenge. That one I will explain at a later date. The Mercury will be spotlighting some of the artists in the next few weeks. We look forward to seeing you there. Our next meeting is 7 p.m. June 5 at Trinity St. AndrewʼsUnited Church, 291 Plaunt St. (please use the Quarry Street entrance). Everyoneʼs welcome. For more information, call Diana, 613-433-3635.

DETERRENTS

A big boost

Mercury photo by Steve Newman

Members of the Bonnechere Manor Foundation and Money Concepts gather to celebrate the Renfrew company’s $10,000 donation for furnishings of the new Renfrew Rotary Hall. From left, in the front row, are foundation chairperson Lee Sharpe, John and Margaret Wilson of Money Concepts, Teresa Enright of Money Concepts, Eleanor Donaldson and Leona Warren; back row, Sheila Kemp, Don Goulet, Monika Sammon, Bonnechere Manor community relations coordinator Robyn Arseneau and Lori Boudreau. Missing from photo is Tobi Burgess of Money Concepts, whose contribution came from April 28 dinner theatre proceeds.

A number of taste and smell deterrents keep wildlife away from vegetables and flowers. Itʼs best to use a number together. For example, by sprinkling blood meal fertilizer on the soil (dig it in lightly) around your plants or by placing dog hair in the toe of a nylon stocking that is tied to a stake placed a foot high around the plants, you are letting the animal know there is a predator nearby. If your barbeque hasnʼt been used for a while, check it out thoroughly before lighting

as red squirrels and mice will sometimes have a nest of babies under the grill. Keep www.wildlifeinfo. ca handy for all your wildlife

questions throughout the summer. When it comes to wildlife decisions, an ounce of prevention is truly worth a pound of cure.

Cobden Farmer’s Market 2012 season is now underway!

From Page 10 If you find a nest of baby squirrels when cleaning out a shed or garage, put it back intact exactly as youʼve found it and give the mother a few days to relocate her young. A nest of baby rabbits in your garden should also be left alone as the mother only returns during the night or at dusk to feed her young. Fresh new shoots on ornamental shrubs attract groundhogs and rabbits. Use plastic garden mesh to protect plants and discourage wildlife from the habit of coming to your garden.

Come and enjoy the great food from the BBQ guy and meet the vendors! Donations to the food bank will also be accepted.

Michael Ostroff, producer of the film Winds of Heaven that honours Emily Carr, answered questions about the Canadian writer-artist to a gathering of about 100 people after they viewed the film. Mercury photos by Peter Clark

Works of artist-writer Carr honoured Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

A turnout of about 100 people attended the Emily Carr tribute Winds of Heaven in the Trinity-St. Andrewʼs United Church chapel May 15. The 90-minute documentary dove into the deep brooding mystery and inner beauty of Carrʼs paintings and the impression of the life of Carr and her connection to the First Nations people of the northwest coast of British Columbia. The Victoria, B.C., artistwriter was born in 1871 and died in 1945. She is known for her paintings of Indians and tree-filled landscapes. The night was co-hosted by the Renfrew Art Guild and the Right Relationships with Aboriginal People Study Group

Admission was by a freewill offering, a portion of which went to the Algonquin Way Cultural Centre in Golden Lake. There was an exhibition of Carrʼs paintings done by RAG members at the film showing. The filmʼs producer, Michael Ostroff, was also present for questions and answers. The film provided an impressionistic exploration of the spirit that informed the solitary life of one of Canadaʼs most celebrated and irrepressible painters, Ostroff said. Emily Carr began painting in an era when women didnʼt. She travelled to remote locations that few professional adventurers chose to go. Not only did she adopt the painting techniques of modernism,

when such ideas were considered dangerous, Carr chronicled the extraordinary art and culture of native peoples, who were invisible to the dominant culture, Ostroff added. COMPLEX WOMAN

“She was a living, breathing, tough, vulnerable, smart, confused and ultimately sympathetic woman which is very different than he she was portrayed,” Ostroff said. “She was way ahead of her time.” Ostroff spoke of William (Mayo) Paddon, a man whose marriage proposal had been previously rejected by Carr in a letter. A year later, when Carr was studying at the Westminster School of Art, Mayo came

Renfrew Presbyterian Church

5,000 miles from Victoria to London, England to propose. “She said there was no way sheʼd get married,” Ostroff said. “She knew if she got married, thereʼd be no way she could be an artist. That was in 1904.” Ostroff noted that a bronze statue of Carr has been built in a prime Victoria location near the B.C. legislature buildings. The larger-than-life statue shows Carr with two of her most famous sidekicks – pet monkey Woo who is sitting on her shoulders, and her mixed breed dog, Billie, who stands near his master. A Carr oil on canvas painting entitled Wind in the Tree Tops sold for more than $2.16 million at a Vancouver art auction in 2009.

the-hat to home: the folksy Hinterland Whoʼs Who commercials were popular in Canada in the 1960s and ʻ70s. In many ways the album is a warm tribute to the natural habitat where Wylie flourishes (ʻthe Valleyʼ), and the rough hewn indie spirit of the Canadian music scene. Bon Echo is Hinterlandbandʼs second release, but Wylieʼs first completely solo project. The first Hinterlandband album, music and lyrics, were written by Wylie.Leaving Fallowfield garnered positive reviews across the country, was charted on Earshot! campus radio charts, and went into rotation on CBC radio. CBCʼs Amanda Putz, said Hinterlandband “should be more famous than they are,” and the Montreal Mirror called the album a “cool slice of cottage pop.”. Exclaim! magazine called Wylie, “a skilled vocalist and brainy lyricist.” The popularity of the first release landed Wylie and band mates an opening slot for headliners, The Dears, at Pop Montreal.

to French Kiss studios in Pembroke on his own, a one-man-band. Every sound you hear on the album was written and created by Wylie: vocals, guitar, keyboard, drums. It all took three days, a tour de force effort, with the intention of delivering a straight ahead recording with a live, unglossed ambience. The album was engineered by former Blinker the Star band mate, Jordon Zadorozny, and mastered by renown Andy ʻHippyʼ Baldwin at the world class Metropolis Mastering studios in the U.K. (of Bowie, InterPEMBROKE STUDIO pol, The Beatles and Oasis fame) – with outWith songs ready for this second standing results. The tracks are fresh, upbeat Hinterlandband release, Wylie headed and intimate while still full of depth.

Colin Wylie is still largely known for his work with Blinker the Star, a Canadian indie band that signed with A&M and made it big across North America in the 90s – but that wonʼt be for long. Wylieʼs solo foray, Hinterlandband, is strong enough to grab attention on its own and is forging a new path that is all Wylie. With the release this month of Bon Echo, a smooth collection of rootsy dream pop, Wylie has undergone a kind of musical rebirth with a maturity of sound and scope. The result is a hopefilled, up-tempo melody and mood-driven collection of songs that never quite leave behind their organic folk origins. Critics have likened the sound to Wilco, the Pixies or Kings of Leon, and Wylie is quick to acknowledge the influence of the Beatles and Brian Wilson, along with Boards of Canada and Daniel Lanois on his song writing. Itʼs literally a ʻcoming homeʼ for Wylie, who spent more than five years on tour with Blinker the Star before, somewhat circuitously, coming home to settle in the Ottawa Valley, where he was born and raised. The band name is even a tip-of-

Tippins-Ferguson’s newest book to launch Saturday signing copies of Wynn this Saturday (June 2) from 1 to 3 p.m. at The Lighthouse, 185 Raglan Street S. TippinsĘź latest ďŹ ctional account is an expose of the obstacles facing an independent female spirit in the 1930s. At a time when wealthy families pressured their eligible daughters to marry well, Bridget goes beyond upsetting the expectations laid out for her future. She quickly learns the hollowness of ďŹ rst appearances, and while navigating through the hardships of her new life, she eventually performs the ultimate act of bravery to safeguard her loved ones and to prove her sense of independence and strength. Her emotive narratives have inspired and entertained Ottawa Valley readers for the past decade. Wynn is published by General Store Publishing House in Renfrew. The book retails for $22.

When gypsies travelling with the fair occupy the fairgrounds in the small town of Lennox, Ont., Bridget EllisĘźs life as an upper-class only child changes dramatically. A fortune tellerĘźs words predicting love, hardships, and tragedy weigh on BridgetĘźs mind as she moves from innocuous domesticity into womanhood. When Bridget meets a man with unusual green eyes, curiosity and her impulsive nature quash the sensible advice of her overbearing aunt. Moving from opulent surroundings to follow her heart along a set of train tracks, Bridget learns what life in the real world is actually like. The story comes from Author Glenda Ferguson Tippins, a Renfrew resident who was born and raised here. SIGNING FROM 1-3 P.M.

May 13 was an extra special day for Groves Park Lodge resident Ola Schimmens. Not only was it Mother’s Day, but she was chosen the 2012 Groves Park Lodge woman of the year. This annual tribute was inspired by staff and management’s desire to recognize their residents and treat them to something fun and enjoyable. All female residents’ names were included in the draw. With the win, she was allowed to choose her gift from a shopping spree, dinner out with loved ones or a spa day. Making the presentation is program facilitator Sandy Hunt. The Renfrew home’s man of the year will be selected in the fall.

In a news release, school board director of education Michele Arbour said the movement of principals and viceprincipals across the system is a healthy sign of growth. “We believe that it is professionally and personally enriching for our principals and vice-principals to experience leadership opportunities in various school communities within our Catholic system.ʼ

The Renfrew County Catholic District School Board recently announced transfers of principals and vice-principals that take effect Sept. 1, 2012. They include the re-twinning of vice-principal Maureen McHale-Enright. This year she is at St. James Catholic School (Eganville) and St. Casimirʼs (Round Lake). Next year, she retains the St. Jamesʼ posting, but will also work out of George Vanier Catholic School in Combermere. That move coincides with the twinning of current St. John Bosco (Barryʼs Bay) principal Marie Finnerty. Effective in September, Finnerty will also have responsibility for George Vanier. Four other principals are

Madawaska Area biologist Kirby Punt, left, inserts a transmitter into an American eel at the Horton boat launch with assistance from Eric Smith of the Arnprior Fish and Game Club.

Eric Smith returns the eel to its rightful place in the Ottawa River. She wasted little time swimming out of sight.

Teamwork protects American eels on the Ottawa River Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

The Canadian Wildlife Federation, Algonquin College, Ministry of Natural Resources and the Arnprior Fish and Game Club have been working in partnership, tracking American eels (Anguilla rostrata) in the Ottawa River. “The project has been ongoing since 2007,” MNR Madawaska Area biologist Kirby Punt said May 16. “The eel work has been running on the river really well this year. “We have also caught eight eels to date this year, a quick start to the netting season.” Punt implanted another transmitter into the latest eel at the Bonnechere River boat launch on River Road in Horton Township. The eel was then taken back out to the Ottawa River and released at the catch site near the shores on the Quebec side. “We have 25 eels in the river now, with some meeting their fate through the generation stations,” Punt added. Punt said they should be able to track the eelʼs whereabouts for two years, until the transmitter battery runs out. It is estimated the Ottawa River is home to an estimated

2,000 American eels. The American eel is considered a threatened specious. All the American eels found in Ontario – the Ottawa and St. Lawrence rivers, as well as Lake Ontario – are female, Putt pointed out. Males can be found along the east coast. The eelʼs life takes on a course not unsimilar, yet the opposite, to salmon. While salmon start and finish lifeʼs journey in fresh water, the eel starts out in the salt water of the Caribbean, and make their way into the fresh water, eventually to return to the Atlantic Ocean for spawning. After she lays her eggs, the female dies. The oldest eel on record lived to be 43 years, while the largest found in Lake Ontario was 10 pounds. The eel, which was returned to the Ottawa River, measured 41 inches and weighed five pounds. It was put in an anesthetic solution in preparation for the surgery, which took less than 10 minutes. With the assistance of Eric Smith of the Arnprior Fish and Game Club, Punt then performed the incision of the transmitter. “It leaves almost no scars,” he said.

“They are an intregal part of the project,” Punt added of the Arnprior Fish and Game Club. “Without them, it wouldnʼt have gotten off the ground.” “We tagged eight eels this year, did nine last year, and five the year before,” Smith said. They can follow the path of each individual eel, although contact with some is lost with the end of the battery life.

HELP APPRECIATED

Anglers who catch eels in the Lac des Chats section of the Ottawa River, or anywhere upstream, either in the main channel of the Ottawa or in any of its tributaries such as the Madawaska or Bonnechere Rivers are asked to record as much information as possible before releasing it. This information includes, if possible: • weight, length, girth; • location (GPS if you have it, or approximate location using local landmarks); • depth of water and bottom type; • bait or lure type; • time of day. There is no season on American eels in the Ottawa River, so any eels caught must be released, Punt noted.

The planet Venus will pass in front of the Sun beginning at 6:07 p.m. Eastern Ontario time until sunset at about 8:35 p.m. Central and Western Canada will witness the transit for a longer period of time. The event is one of the rarest in astronomy. It will not occur again until Dec. 10, 2117, or 105 years from now, points out Gary Boyle, vice-president of the Ottawa Centre Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. Members of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada will set up safe solar telescopes at the Canada Science and Technology Museum starting at 5:30 p.m. until sunset.

RCI Raider girls capture both Renfrew County soccer titles Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

The Renfrew Collegiate Raiders are celebrating two 2012 Renfrew County girls soccer titles this week. The senior girls continued to shut down the opposition in the Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association playoffs in Pembroke May 24, while the junior girls showed a flare for the dramatic. The Senior Raiders defeated the Bishop Smith Crusaders 3-1 and Fellowes Falcons 1-0, then capped their run to the title with a 2-0 triumph over the Mackenzie Mustangs. Kristine Millar, Carissa Rathwell and Maddie Kubiseski scored in the quarterfinal win over Bishop Smith. Carly McHenry converted a Julie Gaddess feed with her noggin for the semifinal gameʼs only goal. McHenry also opened the scoring in the final before Hillary Morgan supplied insurance. Goalkeeper Alisenne MacLean saved her best stop for last as she preserved the victory with a big penalty shot stop. Because of a hand ball and subsequent red card the Raiders played the last 10 minutes one player down. The Junior Raiders also opened the playoffs with a 3-1 win over Bishop Smith on goals from Kaleigh Nichol, Megan Bulmer and Saralyn Deslaurier. Nichol scored late in the semifinal versus the Opeongo Wildcats to tie the semifinal match 2-2. Bulmer was then awarded a penalty shot in overtime because of a hand ball in the box. Bulmer made no mistake on her free chance, booting the Raiders to a 3-2 victory and right into the championship game.

The final was an all-Renfrew affair. It also needed extra time before the Raiders prevailed over the St. Josephʼs Jaguars 1-0. Kaleigh Nichol and JosieLynn Diotte combined in front of the net, with Diotte kicking home the game winner. “It was a great day. The girls played their hearts out,” said Ed Oegema, coach of both RCI teams. The 2012 season didnʼt end there for RCI. The girls teams advanced to their respective Eastern Ontario (EOSSAA) high school senior and junior soccer championship for A schools. Both tournaments were held Tuesday in Alexandria. BOYS SOCCER

In boys action, the Senior Raiders got past Fellowes 2-1 in penalty kicks before dropping a 1-0 decision to the Arnprior Redmen in the Renfrew County semifinal. Blake McHenry, Connor Jamieson and Joe Pilgrim were goalscorers in the RCI win. The Raiders lost 2-1 to St. Josephʼs in the junior boys semifinal, also in a shootout. Blair MacKenzie connected for RCI in regular time. The Raiders co-hosted the EOSSAA senior and junior soccer championships for A schools alongside the St. Josephʼs Jaguars yesterday. The Senior Raiders qualified as a wild card. They were in a pool with Le Relais and Glengarry in the six-team tournament. The Junior Raiders failed to qualify. EOSSAA TRACK AND FIELD

At the Eastern Ontario high school (EOSSAA) track and field championship May 22 and 23 in Belleville, RCI athletes combined for 19 top-six or better placings, which advances them to the next level. TUBMAN, THERO LEAD WAY

Highlighting the way for the Raiders were the performances of Amanda Tubman and Josh Thero. Both have qualified for the East Regional in all three of their events. Tubman registered a first

and two second-place finishers respectively in the junior girls discus, shot put and javelin. Thero was second, third and fourth respectively in the junior boys triple jump, javelin and long jump. Colleen Fleury, Sam Agnew and John Pettigrew have qualified in two events, while Shelby McIntyre won the 800-metre girls blind in 4:12.53, a 15-second improvement over her personal-best time set a week earlier. McIntyre, Fleury, Allison Doucette (23.54 metres) in the midget girls discus, and Cody McLeese (12.05 metres) in the senior boys shot put, also

posted personal bests. Raiders qualifying for the East Regional were: • First: Amanda Tubman, JG discus, 29.37 metres; Shelby McIntyre, girls 800 metres blind, 4:12.53. • Second: Amanda Tubman, JG shot put, 8.89; Amanda Tubman, JG javelin, 26.65; Josh Thero, JB triple jump, 11.50. • Third: Sam Agnew, JB 1,500 metres, 4:31.21; John Pettigrew, MB 3,000 metres, 9:38.21; Dane Brumm, MB discus, 38.27; Josh Thero, JB javelin, 44.51. • Fourth: Mikaela Barnes, SG 3,000 metres, 11:22.35;

Colleen Fleury, SG discus, 29.37; John Pettigrew, MB 1,500 metres, 4:29.26; Sam Agnew, JB 3,000 metres, 9:57.89; Josh Thero, JB long jump, 5.38. • Fifth: Saralyn Deslaurier, JG 400 metres, 1:05.34; Colleen Fleury, SG shot put, 10.18; Hillary MacMillan, 1,500 metre, open steeplechase, 5:54.08; Phil Kadlec, MB 400 metres, 57.80. • Sixth: girls 4 x 400-metre open relay team. Athletes who advance beyond the East Regional compete at the OFSAA (Ontario high school) track and field championships in Brockville June 7, 8 and 9.

The community that keeps on giving How do they top this, next year? Renfrew Collegiateʼs goal for last weekendʼs Relay for Life at MaTe-Way Park was $95,000, which is $3,000 and change more than the school raised in 2011. Thanks to the efforts of the Relay for Life committee, and 61 teams who participated in the 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. event, committee members, Iʼm sure, shocked even themselves Saturday morning when they reached a total of $118,500, and thatʼs with money still to come in. It should be about $120,000 when

Stanley going to Hollywood? The 2012 Stanley Cup final got un-

derway Wednesday night, about the time this weekʼs Renfrew Mercury came off the press. I canʼt call it a hunch, but L.A. in six, if only to prevent New Jersey from equalling the Red Wings as four-time Stanley Cup champions in the post-Habs, Islanders, Oilers dynasty eras. Same old Blue Jays: If you should ever be in Las Vegas, throw a couple of bucks down that the Toronto Blue Jays to finish the season 81-and-81. As long as they have no

one in the bullpen to come out and consistently put a game away, theyʼll always hover around 500. * * * Kirk Muller scored the Stanley Cup winning goal in 1993 when the Montreal Canadiens topped the Los Angeles Kings 4-1 in the game, and 4-1 in the series. Montrealʼs other three final series wins came in overtime. And for this week: Name the three teams that the New Jersey Devils have defeated in the final to win the franchiseʼs three Stanley Cups?

A five-kilometre walk/run in Calabogie drew 230 participants for a breast cancer survivor a couple of weekends back when organizers expected 50. The City of Ottawa often boasts about its generosity and support for fundraising events, and rightfully so. But I think its safe to say, Renfrew and area doesnʼt take a back seat to anybody.

Scott Cannata ran across Canada and ended up raising more than $50,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society. And now heʼs coming to Renfrew County to talk to youth about his experience and the differences that young people can make in the world. Cannata, who lives in PIckering, Ont., will be in the county June 5 and 6, when heʼll address students and members of the public in Renfrew, Deep River and Pembroke. Cannata kicked off his crosscountry run in St. Johnʼs, Nfld., May 1, 2011. He finished the equivalent of 202 marathons, or more than 8,500 kilometres, at Port Renfrew, B.C., Jan. 16, 2012. His run was called The Run to Live. Nadine Blacombe, who is working with the Boys and Girls Club of Pembroke, is planning and development youth-empowerment events across Renfrew County. “What we have come up with is having a motivational-inspirational guest speaker that has made a difference in the world that could also relate to the teens we would be focusing on,” she told The Mercury. Cannata, whoʼs in his mid 20s, will speak to about 200 Grade 7 and 8 students at Renfrew Collegiate Institute to tell his story and motivate youth to give back to their community by volunteering or trying to make a difference in other ways. Members of the community are also welcomed to attend the Wednesday, June 6 talk, which gets underway about 12:40 p.m. “My passion is to help people,” says Cannata. “Why not utilize my ability to

run, combined with a relentless passion to educate and help people and go with it? Why not try the unthinkable?” At the assembly, Balcombe says “we will also be working on leadership building,” hopefully with the help of a few organizations that work with student volunteers. Cannata will also give two other talks to students, heʼll also give an evening presentation June 5 at Pembrokeʼs Kiwanis Field House from 6:30 to 8 p.m. That presentation is open to anyone 10 years or older. The cost to attend is by donation only, with all funds going to the Boys and Girls Club of Pembroke. Cannata, who grew up in Durham Region, took his BSc degree in anthropology at Trent University in Peterborough, where he got involved with swimming, group fitness and running. His own running led to his running of the 100-mile trail race in Haliburton Forest in September 2009. Completion of the event inspired him to challenge himself to run across the worldʼs second largest country. Following The Run to Live, he was honoured when The Run to Live Day was proclaimed in Peterborough on Feb. 2, 2012. To learn more about Cannata, visit his website of www.theruntolive.com, his new adventure website of www.activeambassadors.org/ or his Run to Live Facebook page at The Run to Live. His You Tube page is http://www.youtube.com/ theruntolive. Cannataʼs other Renfrew County stops will be June 5 (afternoon) at Deep Riverʼs Mackenzie Community School and June 6 (morning) at Fellowes High School.

St. Josephʼs won 2-1 over the Mackenzie Mustangs in the semifinal on goals from Sonya Bergin and Holly Shannon. The senior girls edged the Jeanne Lajoie Chevaliers 1-0 on an Ashley Hume marker before losing by the same 1-0 margin to Mackenzie in the semifinal. Both boys teams were finalists. Goals from Cole Rochon and Peter Vice propelled the Senior Jaguars past the Madawaska Valley District Wolves 2-1 in the quarterfinal.

It’s all about the beads on Mardi Gras fun night at Renfrew GC Lesley Murray From the Ladies Tee

Mardi Gras is French for Fat Tuesday, so the Renfrew Golf Club held a Mardi gras fun night on Tuesday, May 22. Over 90 ladies came out for a fun evening, and many were decked out in purple, green, and gold; the Mardi gras colours. It looked like a Mardi Gras parade; there were beads galore! Many of the ladies were resplendent with lots of their own beads, but as well, over 300 bead necklaces were also given out.

The evening was sponsored by Renfrew Pizzeria, Ottawa Valley Insurance and Service Master, with our thanks. There was a pop quiz out on the course. Teams were able to add or subtract from their golf score, based on their quiz answers. Jamie Paulen outdid himself with a wonderful Creole dinner, including Jambalaya and a Creole pasta. A great night, and thanks to all who attended. DonĘźt forget to sign up for the next fun night, which is on June 12. You can sign up a team, or sign up individually

and we will be happy to put you on a team. Also coming up are two tournaments, one on June 2, sponsored by Money Concepts, and a second one on June 16, sponsored by ScottĘźs Shoe Store. As well, on July 7 we will be holding a LadiesĘź Golf Fore the Cure event. This is an 18-hole scramble with a one oĘźclock shot gun start. The $60 cost of the tournament covers golf, golf cart, dinner and a donation to Breast Cancer. We look forward to seeing you there.

The Renfrew Figure Skating Club held its year-end banquet for 2011-12 on May 6 at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

Co-operators, Bananas advance in ladies basketball playoffs Rob Warren Ladies Spring Basketball

This is Curtis Grant’s winning Denbigh team at the inaugural slo-pitch tournament to highlight awareness of ovarian cancer. From left, in the front row, are Elissa Keller, Paige Grant, Melissa Grant, Lindsay Wall, Colleen Wall; back row, Curtis Grant, Corey Grant, Josh MacLachlan, Curtis Jr. Grant, Ryan Gregg and Casey Keller.

One in the books, more to come Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

It was a slo-pitch softball tournament, but much more, at Denbigh Heritage Park. The May 12 tourney was a fundraiser for Ovarian Cancer Canada that focused on heightening awareness about ovarian cancer, and the importance of having potential symptoms examined by the medical community. The event was organized by family members of Helen Beckett, who is battling ovarian cancer. She lives in the Hardwood Lake area. “We are hoping to make this an annual event on MotherĘźs Day weekend,â€? said one of BeckettĘźs daughters, Pam Rosenblath of Denbigh. RosenblathĘźs siblings are Charlene Keller, Lori Phanenhour, Darryl Beckett and Paula Prahl. The community received this event with open arms, as $1,694.92 was raised for Ovarian Cancer Canada. 41 Stop Inc. supplied

the Family Team T-shirts, which read: Playing for Helen to cure Ovarian Cancer. Grant Curtisʟs Denbigh team won the A title, while John Lacourseʟs squad was the B champion. It was a relaxed day, as some players played on two different teams, and everyone chipped in to sell tickets, run the canteen, barbecue the food, ump the games and do the scorekeeping. The organizers wish to thank all the prize sponsors and everyone else who helped make the day a success. During the tournament, ovarian cancer information yers were placed under every windshield in the parking lot. By distributing the yers it was hoped some would become more informed about the disease. For more details on symptoms, screening and types of ovarian cancer, visit the Ovarian Cancer Canada website of www.ovariancanada.org

Heading into the last night of regular season play, three teams were hoping for a playoff spot. Bananas needed a win to stave off elimination. The same applied to Signature Styles, and they were to meet Bananas in the second game. Dunbar Petroleum had to sit on the sidelines hoping one of those two teams would lose both games, or they would be eliminated. Turnovers early for the Bananas, coupled with erratic shooting, left them trailing Frances/Lemke Co-operators by six points at the break. Although they picked up their game in the second half, so did the Co-operators. The ďŹ nal score was 40-23 for the Co-operators. Sheila

Windle and Janet Goulard combined for 28 points in the win. Tasha Latendresse led Signature Styles with 13 points in the ďŹ rst half to maintain a slight edge over Bananas. In the second half, Bananas went on a 19-0 run before Styles hit a buzzer beater. This left Styles on the short side of a 38-24 decision. The win vaulted Bananas into fourth place. Eight Mid-Town Flooring snipers hit net for a 55-18 win in eliminating Signature Styles from playoff action. Cate Eckford topped Styles with 11 points. After tiebreaks, the ďŹ nal standings, in order, are Reunions, Mid-Town Flooring, Frances/Lemke Co-operators, Bananas, AikenheadĘźs, Dunbar Petroleum and Signature Styles.

QUARTERFINALS

Janet Goulard and Sheila Windle of the Co-operators amassed 32 points between them to eliminate Dunbar Petroleum from further action by a score of 37-28. Janet had 14 points in the ďŹ rst half to secure a seven-point lead. Dunbar never got closer than ďŹ ve points in the second half. Jaime Nolan led the Dunbar attack with 10 points. In the other quarterďŹ nal, it took Bananas 14 minutes to score a basket. Still, they only trailed AikenheadĘźs by 11 points. Midway through the second half, Bananas overtook AikenheadĘźs and kept going. They advanced to the semis with a 34-23 victory. Amy Felhaber led the way with 14 points. Jenna Barr scored her 12 points in the second half.

Five Opeongo Wildcats advance Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

A genuine soft spot for Her Majesty Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Opinions tend to be less than guarded about the British monarchy. YouĘźre for or against, and Renfrew cab driver Phil Cloutier is deďŹ nitely for. HeĘźs a long-time and avid supporter of Queen Elizabeth II, who is celebrating her diamond jubilee, or 60 years as queen, this year. He credits his grandmother, Leona Utronki, and Dr. Leo Mulvhill, a local physician, for his captivation with the present queen. LOCAL DOCTOR’S OFFICE

His grandmother worked as a maid for the Renfrew doctor, who subscribed to the Star weeklies in which she found several articles and photographs about the British monarchy. She was able to collect clippings, which were later passed on to her grandson.

“IĘźm a big collector. I kind of got it from her,â€? admits Phil. “She kind of taught me that the queen was a family. The government canĘźt be a family, but the queen can. The government canĘźt have a heart, but the queen can.â€? Pressing his point, Cloutier adds, “You sing God Save the Queen, you donĘźt sing God Save the Government.â€? This being the year of the diamond jubilee and celebration of one of the countryĘźs most popular monarchs ever, Cloutier is fervently cheering from the sidelines – even more so, after receiving a letter, stamped at Buckingham Palace. Dated July 21, 1993, the letter was in response to a brief letter of support he sent the queen earlier that year. This is what the queenĘźs letter said: Dear Mr. Cloutier: I am commanded by the Queen to write and thank you for your nice letter. Her Majesty was especially touched by the kind things you say, and I am to tell you that the Queen much appreciates your thoughts for her at this time. Yours sincerely, Kathryn Drysdale Lady-in-Waiting

“I didnĘźt know what to think,â€? he says of the monarchĘźs letter. “I was surprised to see it, (and) that my letter meant something to the queen. It made me feel more loyal than ever. Some of the items among CloutierĘźs monarchy memorabilia are: • Coins and containers, bearing the queenĘźs image, to commemorate such events as the 100th anniversaries of Winnipeg (1974) and Regina (1982); • An invitation to the Children of London, to attend King George VĘźs Silver Jubilee of May 6, 1935; • A scrapbook of Queen Elizabeth clippings that includes a large photo of her holding Princess Elizabeth shortly after her daughterĘźs birth in 1926; • An October 1964 Star Weekly magazine with extensive coverage of Queen Elizabeth IIĘźs visit to Canada amid tension-ďŹ lled opposition in Quebec; • A scrapbook, started in April 1939, of Queen Elizabeth and her family, including a full-page photo of Princess Elizabeth as a 13-year-old with her Shetland pony; • A 22-page special section of The Ottawa Citizen, dated Oct. 11, 1957, and entitled Hail To Her Majesty.

‘LIKE EVERYBODY’S GRANDMOTHER’

HeĘźs now a proud 46-year-old owner of several scrapbooks and paraphernalia about the British monarchy. However, he doesnĘźt pretend to be well versed about her Majesty. Trying to ďŹ nd the words, he says, “IĘźm a loyal subject, what can I say. She has a heart. She cares for your people. “ThatĘźs what I like about the Queen. SheĘźs for the people. SheĘźs like everybodyĘźs grandmother.â€? He also admires Prince Philip, whom he refers to as a “rockâ€? in Queen Elizabeth IIĘźs life. Elizabeth married Lieut. Philip Mountbatten, the Duke of Edinburgh, at Westminster Abbey in a simple ceremony Nov. 20, 1947. She came to the throne Feb. 6, 1952, while her coronation was June 2, 1953. She celebrated her Silver Jubilee (for 25 years on the throne) in 1977 and her Golden Jubilee (for 50 years) in 2002. Queen Elizabeth remains the head of state for the United Kingdom and 15 other Commonwealth realms, including Canada. The only other British monarch to celebrate a diamond jubilee was Queen Victoria in 1897.

In his earlier letter, Cloutier says he told the queen that he was driving home from Pembroke and heading down a big hill when he thought about how great it was to live in Canada, and that she should visit here more often. He also wrote the letter shortly before Prince Andrew, the queenĘźs son, visited Canada.

The 45-foot Crimson Maple standing at the corner of Low Square, just across from the ďŹ re hall, no longer has a living connection to Queen Elizabeth II. A plaque placed in the ground, at the base of the tree, read: “Planted by Mayor J.T. Moran to commemorate the coronation of his Majesty Queen Elizabeth II June 2, 1953.â€? Moran was RenfrewĘźs mayor from 1949 to 1954. However, the tree was cut down by Stone Road Tree Service May 24, a few days after a branch of the tree fell on a vehicle parked nearby. Calvin Stroud of the tree service assessed the condition of the maple. “They tried to save the tree, but when it was assessed it was (determined to be) an issue of park safety,â€? said Stroud. Council and staff may plant another tree as a successor of sorts. “It seems more than appropriate to have a true planted in the park area to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee,â€? said Renfrew treasurer Keray OĘźReilly. Queen Elizabeth II took power Feb. 6, 1952, thus the reason 60 years of her reign are being celebrated this year. She enters her 60th year as coronated queen this Saturday.

Showing some of their quilts in preparation for the June 9 and 10 Valley Treasures Quilt Show being held at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre from left are Quilters Guild of Renfrew and Area members Chris Gordon, Grace Campbell, Denis Essiambre, Lillian Veenstra and quilt show co-ordinator Elaine Bazinet-Smith.

Quilters guild set to celebrate 20th anniversary June 9 and 10 Joan Lemay Renfrew and Area Quilters Guild

Twenty years ago Dorothy Jackson had a vision. She posted a notice in the Renfrew Mercury, inviting quilters to meet at her home for the purpose of forming a quilt club. The goals of the club were to share ideas, to promote the art and the craft of quilting, to promote interest in quilting and to teach quilting to others. Twenty-one women answered Dorothyʼs invitation, and four of these women remain active members to this date – Dorothy, Norma Howard, Isobel Anderson and Irene Fitzpatrick. Today the Ren-

frew and Area Quilters Guild has 93 registered members, and the goals of the guild remain unchanged to this date. The quilt show on June 9 and 10 will be an elaborate display of the membersʼ creations over the past two years, and also a retrospective of works from past quilt shows, in honour of our 20th anniversary. An interesting aspect of the show is the Challenge display. The guild challenges members to create a quilted article, using a piece of theme fabric purchased from the guild membersʼ interpretation of the theme and use of the theme fabric is interesting and

varied. Beautiful, imaginative works result. The theme for this yearʼs challenge is Stars Over Renfrew County. Challenge entries were judged by the guild members at the May 22 meeting, and the winning pieces will be displayed with their ribbons. The Valley Treasures Quilt Show runs Saturday June 9, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday June 10, noon to 4 p.m. at Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. Admission is $5. Along with the display of quilts, there are raffles, tea room (catered by the DACA Auxiliary), demonstrations (schedule will be posted), and a merchants mall.

Well into its second month, the Renfrew Flea Market is going to hold its own, says flea market coordinator Bonnie Keefe. “Weʼre getting about 250 through our doors over the weekend,” said Keefe shortly before this Saturdayʼs grand opening at 220 Carswell Street South. Locals may best know the building as the former home of John Lambert Carpets. “Many of the flea markets have closed down,” said Keefe. “Goshen and Antrim closed down. The closest is Almonte, so we decided to have one in the area.” This weekendʼs flea market will feature a dozen or so vendors, about evenly divided between indoors and out, said Keefe. She invites people to enjoy the barbecue, meet the vendors and take in the music of entertainer Matthew Beauchamp. There will also be tarot, tea leaves and astrology readings. Products for sale will include Mayʼs Teas and Spices, jewelry, books and antique furniture, including an 1880s couch. Donations to the Renfrew and District Food Bank are welcomed. The market is open each Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the far end of Renfrew Avenue West, just before the Millennium Trail link to MaTe-Way Park. The market opened April 1.

New president appointed for Algonquin College At a special meeting held late Monday evening (May 14), the board of governors elected Dr. Kent MacDonald as the seventh president of Algonquin College. Dr. MacDonald will assume his duties as president Aug. 20. “Canada is blessed with many good colleges. However, there are few as progressive and distinctive as Algonquin,” said the new president in a news release. “I am humbled and excited by the confidence the board has shown in me and look forward to continuing to work with our students, faculty, staff, alumni and community to deliver on the mission and vision of Algonquin College. “Algonquin College has an incredibly innovative teaching culture, a deep commitment to student success and an impressive track record of providing industry with highly prepared graduates who have the relevant skills and knowledge companies require. “I believe our success is unparalleled in applied Canadian higher education … I look forward to continuing to work closely with our innovative faculty and staff to take the college to even greater heights,” added MacDonald. “The board is delighted that we have

found such a leader from within the collegeʼs ranks,” said board chairman Michael Dunlop in the same news release. “In Dr. MacDonald we have selected a highly regarded and experienced academic leader who has a 14-year history with Algonquin College, serving most recently as Vice-President, Academic. Dr. MacDonald brings a breadth of proven leadership experience to the role of president. He has served as academic vice-president since 2008, expanding the collegeʼs program mix, adding over two dozen new academic programs ranging from postgraduate certificates to baccalaureate degrees. Over this period, enrolment increased by over 19 per cent MacDonald has also served Algonquin as vice-president of student services and development and as dean of the business school from 2001 to 2008. While academic chair (1998-2001) of the Pembroke Campus, he was directly involved in the development of the schoolʼs popular Outdoor Adventure program, along with several other academic programs. The incoming president is described as a visionary and an approachable leader.

“Kent is an authentic, inspirational leader who embodies vision, academic experience, business acumen and superb interpersonal skills,” said Catherine Kenney, chair of the Algonquin College Academic Council, in the same news release. “Kent MacDonald will do a great job for Algonquin College and its students,” said James Knight, president and CEO of ACCC, Canadaʼs national association of colleges. “He brings both a deep understanding of the Ottawa community and profound insights into Canadaʼs college system at large. His leadership at the national level has been a tremendous benefit to the network.” Dr. MacDonald received his doctorate from Philadelphiaʼs University of Pennsylvania. He also has a MBA from the University of Ottawa, as well as a bachelorʼs degree in science and physical education and masterʼs in education, both from St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, N.S. MacDonald, 48, is married to MaryEllen MacPhee, a principal with the Ottawa Catholic School Board. They have four children, ages 22, 20, 17 and 15.

The new president, Kent MacDonald

Become a Renfrew community garden member Jo-anne Caldwell Renfrew Parks and Recreation

A new garden is growing in Oddfellows Park on Sydney Avenue and you can be part of it. You do not need to be an expert to grow your own food, only the desire to learn and work. There is no cost to have a plot in the garden. However, you do need to supply your

own seeds, plants and extra nutrient rich soil, if desired. Members are required to prepare their 10-foot by 10foot space, plant what they choose and tend to their own area throughout the summer including watering and weeding. Gardening is a great form of exercise and has wonderful health beneďŹ ts including stress reduction for some peo-

ple. It is also a great way to meet other like minded people in the community. Community garden membership currently includes

families with young children, singles and groups. Growing your own fruit, vegetables and herbs allows you to lower your grocery bill,

get in touch with nature and in the end have good quality, safe food. IsnĘźt it time you reap the beneďŹ ts?

Focaccia bread can be made sweet and savoury Food ‘n’ Stuff

When you hear of focaccia bread, you usually think of a bread topped with rosemary or caramelized onions. Savoury versions such as these are traditional with this popular flat bread. Focaccia can also be made with sweet ingredients, however, for an entirely different flavour. Experimenting one day, I decided to add freshly-grated orange rind and raisins directly to the dough while it was being mixed in the bread machine. Once the dough was shaped into a circle and ready for the oven, I brushed the top with olive oil, then sprinkled it with a bit of sugar. The focaccia smelled wonderful as it baked and tasted even better. Focaccia bread is very easy to make using a bread machine to prepare the dough.

250 Wade Ave

Just the right size for a busy household, the kitchen is conveniently located off the carport for easy loading and unloading of groceries, hockey bags, school projects & that last cup of coffee as you head out the door for work. Downstairs you will ďŹ nd plenty of room for hobbies, storage, an exercise room and 4th bedroom. Natural gas ďŹ replace in the family room. Partially fenced in backyard comes with a play structure & shed. $237,500

106 Queen St.

Freshly painted and professionally ďŹ nished, this home sits on a quiet corner lot in the heart of Renfrew. Perfect for a young family; all 3 bedrooms are on the same level with the master bedroom located across the hall from the kids’ rooms. Many options for the Home Business operator, with a separate entrance off the den/ living room area. Kitchen is updated and features main oor washer & dryer. Basement has lots of room for storage. $149,900 0531 R0011431457

Orange Raisin Focaccia 3/4 cup water 2 tbsp. olive or vegetable oil 1 tbsp. sugar 1 tsp. salt 2 tbsp. finely-grated fresh orange peel 1/3 cup raisins 2 cups flour 1 1/2 tsp. bread machine yeast

Topping 1-2 tbsp. extra light-tasting olive oil such as Bertolli 2 tsp. white sugar Place all the ingredients (except the ones for the topping) into the bread machine in the order given. Select the Dough cycle, and start the machine. When the dough is finished, turn it out on a lightly-floured surface, then pat it into a 12� circle. Lightly oil a round pizza pan or a cookie sheet. Fold the dough circle in half as you would a pie crust. Transfer it to the pan, placing the dough so that it covers one half of the pan. Unfold the dough to make the full circle. Cover with a damp tea towel, and set aside to rise until doubled. Depending on the warmth of your kitchen, this can take anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes. With your finger or the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the dough. For the topping, lightly brush the surface of the dough with the 1-2 tbsp. of light olive oil, then sprinkle with the sugar. Bake at 400F for 15 to 18 minutes, until the bread is a golden brown. Transfer the bread to a cake rack to cool slightly before serving. Cut into wedges, and serve warm. This bread will keep fresh for two to three days wrapped in plastic, but the sugar topping will soften.

Wednesday half-holidays for Renfrew business: 1937 MAY 31, 1912

ENGINEER MCRAEĘźS INSPECTION: Engineer J.B. McRae spent a few hours in town on Wednesday, inspecting the work done at the Power Development . He was well pleased with what he saw of the installation of the wheels. Questioned regarding points discussed at the council meetings, he said the concrete roof was a real economy, because with it the council could afford to go without insurance on the building, and the insurance would have eaten up more than the interest in the difference between an ordinary roof and a concrete roof. To have space in the roof through which to lower the ďŹ lters was far preferable in his eye to having a hole in the side wall, where seepage and frost would always have to be guarded against. And the door for bringing in of machinery was calculated to permit the entrance of the parts of any machinery which was likely to be hereafter required.

OLGA LEWIS FROM THE OLD FILES

T.F. BARNET BUYS AIRTH HOMESTEAD: Last week Mr T.F. Barnet completed the purchase from Mr. David Airth of the old D. Airth homestead farm. A few years ago he had purchased the 70 acres on the west side of the creek, in that which became his last week was 130 acres and the stone house and buildings in the east side of the water. MAY 27 , 1937

MUCH BUILDING ACTIVELY GOOD WORKMEN SOURCE: The sub-committee of the Home Improvement organization at its meeting decided to solicit the co-operation of a hundred Renfrew citizens to answer a questionaire as to home improvements needed. The questionnaire will be accompanied by home improvement literature and

a letter. The thought behind the plan is to get a survey of the possible requirements for Renfrew. It was reported at the meeting that it was difďŹ cult to get repairs and improvements done owing to the increased work once the activities of the Home Improvement plan began. The year promises to be a very good active one both for interior and exterior improvements. WEDNESDAY HALF HOLIDAYS: Weekly half holiday for dry goods houses, grocery and some ofďŹ ces commences for the summer in Renfrew on Wednesday next, the ďŹ rst Wednesday in June. This is a practice widely prevalent in Ontario. In Renfrew it has been in vogue for some years and ďŹ rms compensation to staffs for the late hours of Saturday night, on which night there will as usual, be extra opportunity for shopping. The weekly half holidays embrace June, July and August. The stores will close at 12:30 noon.

JUNE 1, 1977

COUNCIL TO WORK WITH COMMISSION: Closer liaison between the town council and industrial commission is needed in negotiating future land sales and services within RenfewĘźs industrial park. The statement issued by industrial commission chairman Allan Lindsay and Mayor Lyons Ringrose, said the town and commission met last Thursday for “a fresn open discussion and agreement in emphasis to be placed on industrial promotion to service the undustrial park includ-

ing the new Blue Bell plant on which construction has already begun. A rift developed between some members of council and the commission about three weeks ago; on question of town councilĘźs participation in councilĘźs controlling the commissions budgeted revenues and expenditures. LIONS DONATE $1,000 TO TEAM: The Renfrew Lions Club donated $1,000 to the Junior Lions Hockey Club during a dinner meeting at the Sunset Restaurant, Thursday May 26. Hugh Edwards made the presentation of a $1000

dollar bill to Ken Campbell manager of the team. The money was raised through a victory dance at the Recreation Centre, May 13. Mr Edwards presented a statement to Lions members showing the income from the dance, ticket sales and a personal donation from Mayor Ringrose amounted to $2, 464.17 with expenditures of $1,449.90. The money will be put in the bank to be used as operating income next season. For help with research, contact Olga Lewis at olewis@ sympatico.ca

Cancer, you are feeling very passionate and you have deep and rich emotions this week. It is all about developing an even more solid relationship with your partner.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle! 44 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, May 31, 2012

Don’t feel tempted to give anyone a pep talk, Leo. You may just be wasting your time. The person you have in mind might not be too receptive to advice.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

Virgo, thoughts of love and romance could distract you and make it hard to do your job. Don’t be tempted to spend all the time on the phone.

DAWG FM in Ottawa, was excited about returning to Calabogie with this ever-growing blues festival. “We are very excited to have the support of Celebrate Ontario. This allows us to bring the best Canadian blues artists to Calabogie, which in turn will help drive attendance to our festival and tourism to Greater Madawaska and Renfrew County,” Torres said. The Class Axe Guitars Calabogie Blues & Ribfest is a partnership between Class Axe Guitars, Calabogie Peaks Resort, 101.9 DAWG FM and Greater Madawaska Township. In 2011, more than 8,300 people attended the inaugural festival and organizers are expecting an even bigger crowd this year. Advance tickets are available online at www.calabogieblues.com.

Some of the finest blues music in North America comes to Calabogie Peaks Resort Aug. 17 to 19 for the second annual Class Axe Guitars Calabogie Blues & Ribfest. “The Township of Greater Madawaska received a grant from the Ministry of Tourismʼs Celebrate Ontario Program, and these funds will help not only to secure some of the top blues performers, but also help attract a greater audience to the township,” says a news release from organizers. “Celebrate Ontario Grants help new and existing Ontario festivals and events enhance their programs, activities and services. This support helps grow tourism in the province by making it easier for event organizers to offer new and improved experiences that will attract more tourists and increase visitor spending.”

Last week’s answers

You have an inherent ability to read a person’s thoughts and motives, Libra. You may find that people’s feelings simply jump out toward you. This ability could be taxing, though.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Emotional issues with a family member could leave you seeking an escape route, Scorpio. This may be just what you need to clear your mind and get back on track.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Sagittarius, you are feeling less inhibited this week, which may lead to a loose tongue. Try not to offend because you aren’t thinking things through but operating on impulse.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Capricorn, stress on the job could have you thinking about quitting. But a look at your finances may tell you this isn’t a wise idea at the time. Stick with it for a little while longer.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Mistakes from the past could come back to haunt you, Aquarius. For a few days you may be low on self- confidence. Lie low if you don’t trust your judgement just yet.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Pisces, though you’re usually physically active, this week you can benefit from just taking a small break. Focus on recharging.
