Renfrew County councillors canĘźt seem to ďŹ nd a way to secure more provincial dollars for upgrading Highway 17. In the past theyĘźve tried the ďŹ nancial approach, telling QueenĘźs Park and the federal government that it would be money well spent. But with limited success. The latest approach, tested during the May 30 meeting by Petawawa Coun. Treena Lemay, goes in another direction. LemayĘźs presentation to council included the photos and stories of those who died over the last couple of years on Highway 17. • Lucienne “Lucyâ€? Web, Jan. 25, 2011;

• Pat Harvey, a week later in Deep River; • Bryan Casey, near Arnprior, worked at AECL; • Damon Souliere, 18, was texting on May 28, 2011 when he was killed in an accident; • Karlinton Booth rear-ended a tractor trailer, again near Arnprior; • 16-year-old Timothy Archambeault, on June 15, 2011, four other Pembroke friends were injured; • A week later it was Michael Clouthier, 27; • Bob Berger on June 30, in Cobden; • Yvon Briere, a soldier who survived numerous conicts, Aug. 4; • No deaths, but a serious threevehicle accident occurred near Ren-

frew on Aug. 23 involving a house trailer; • Jason Rickard of North Bay, 20, after hitting an 18-wheeler; • Lynsey Cote and Mitch Albert, best friends, on Sept. 24; • Alan Smith and friend Marinea Smith, 79 and 74 respectively, on Jan. 31, 2012; • Greydon Woollerton on April 23; • Lloyd Ferguson of Kingston, May 22, followed by a three-vehicle accident three hours later. “In 2011, Renfrew County was the deadliest in the province,â€? Lemay said afterward, to an emotion-ďŹ lled room. “These fatalities didnĘźt need to happen.â€? See DEATH TOLL, Page 5

“WeĘźre not the main event, the building is,â€? said OVG Inc. president and co-owner Shawn McHale at the open house introducing OVG and OVG Solar IncorporatedĘźs new consolidated home last Friday. McHale called it a monumental day for the company that spent $600,000 to bring “a landmark building to its former glory.â€? The buildingĘźs former business occupants include Stewart Hartshorn Inc., as far back as the 1920s. “It has been transformed from top to bottom, and I am sure its former businesses that were residents here ‌ would be proud of the results,â€? added McHale, who said every effort was made to spread the renovation work to as many local suppliers as possible. Founded as Ottawa Valley Glass in 1978, OVG has forged ahead as a major player in aluminum curtainwall and window manufacturing in eastern Ontario and, increasingly so, across Canada. Its contracts for buildings with major glass-based exteriors are happening close to home and abroad, as evidenced by the works in process in its assembly plant at 555 Hall Avenue. On-site products were ready to be shipped for such projects as the Yorkdale Mall, Edwards Mazda, Quinte Hospital Belleville, the Quinte Courthouse and the Labrador Hospital. The former home of Transworld Signs, which left the building to centralize Montreal about four years ago, is now the spacious consolidated home for OVG Enterprise Inc. and OVG Solar. The building is more than 78,000 square feet. OVGĘźs previous ofďŹ ce headquarters were on Barnet Boulevard, across from the Scapa North America plant, but they rented space at different locations, including 40,000 square feet for its processing facility at the Innovation Centre in town.

Andrew MacAskill sends a pitch toward the dunk tank during the fun fair.

Renfrew Diversity Festival spokesman Alanna Emon hopes the inaugural event grows into one of the largest festivals in Renfrew County. She made the comment while updating Renfrew council members May 28. Corporate sponsors backing the July 7 festival include Renfrew Best Western and Four Continents Restaurant, the Local Integration Partnership, myFM radio station and Humm Magazine. “For year one, weʼre pretty happy at this stage. And hopefully this will turn into a major festival in years to come,” said Emon. “I believe we have a good start … Iʼm pretty excited about this.” Emon said more than 20 individuals or organizations have signed on. They include Kashubian aficionado David Shulist of Wilno, Allan Fox of Dacre with beadwork sales in support of African children, Colleen Sadler of Enterprise Renfrew County, Suzanna Winlove of Yogi Numerology, psychic reader Ken Mason, Lanark LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transsexual), Tracey Franklin the Dog Whisperer, opera singer David Galbraith, musician Andy Pigeon and Trinity-St. Andrewʼs United Church. “We have a nice variety, but of course weʼre still looking (for others to participate),” said Emon. She was accompanied at council by committee members Carolyn Polk and Marcus Magdalena. Magdalena is directing the Dragonʼs Breath play, which will be performed July 6 and 7 at Trinity-St. Andrewʼs United Church.

One heck of a renovation for OVG in Hall Avenue building We have technology that many companies arenʼt privy to.” Some of that leading-edge technology is its CNC (computer numeric control) technology that does a lot of its prepping and milling for products, with increased accuracy, productivity and efficiency. Its unitized curtainwall line is also produced on site, a process many competitors canʼt due because of space restrictions. The building also houses a glass shop to service residential customers; a residential division for house windows, sidings and shutters; and a solar division, which generates about 10 per cent of the companyʼs business, with expectations that number will grow. “People are interested in solar, and I donʼt think that is going to wane anytime soon,” said McHale. “With hydro rates increasing the way they are, and the price of energy of any kind increasing, itʼs an obvious alternative. I donʼt think solar is going to die a sudden death because of (reductions in revenue in) the FIT (Feedin Tariff) program. “What I do believe is itʼs going to change … the products are going to get better and

more efficient. And we will be able to use them, as our goal has been all along, in large glass buildings …and thatʼs where we think the future is.” Meanwhile, McHale was impressed by the strong public response to Fridayʼs open house. “A lot of people have never been in this building before … so weʼre more than happy to showcase it to the public.” BIG GOALS

Company goals include being Ontarioʼs most preferred glazing contractor by 2015. Whatever its accomplishments, OVG appears to be headed in the right direction. OVG is looking to remain price-competitive and timely while offering good product and workmanship. OVG is also increasing its focus on doing more business in eastern Canada, northern Ontario and Toronto. Those on hand for the opening included Renfrew Mayor Bill Ringrose and RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant. “As a resident for 30 years, and therefore a newcomer to Renfrew,” said Ringrose, “itʼs

good to see a long-developing relationship between yourselves and the people of the town ... we feel a little bit of pride just to have you with us. Being part of the town, we delight in your success.” After a few hiccups the last five years, the company is looking to expand in the future with the ongoing goal of creating “a long-term sustainable company in Renfrew,” said majority owner Pat McHale. He said the newly-renovated building will allow OVG to be more profitable and pro-

ductive. It is hoped OVG will put another 100 people to work in the town in the coming years, he added. MP Gallant commended OVG for its “progression and innovative techniques in manufacturing and installing solar panels” and for its “wonderful glass walls and unique architecture.” But mostly, she said she wanted to offered a big thankyou and congratulate the company on its versatility. “Weʼve seen the whole

manufacturing and construction industry go through a downturn, but you managed to flip everything around by going to something new,” she said of OVGʼs decision to open its solar division in 2010. “The biggest thank-you of all is for being a gutsy entrepreneur, for providing the jobs; you are one of the key drivers of the Canadian economy.” OVGʼs themes, on their marketing products, are Windows for Your World and Green Energy for Your World.

R0011436966

For the official unveiling of OVGʼs new facilities last Friday, McHale was hand with his fiancée, Janet Roberston, and majority shareholders Pat and Bev McHale (Shawnʼs brother and sister-in-law). Moving day happened in late April 2012, but OVGʼs plans to relocate to one site only began in June 2011 when Shawn and Janet visited the former Transworld Signs building. The couple was surprised to see how spacious the location was, and how the different components of their business might easily fit under one roof. The open house housed a steady stream of visitors, who were taken on facility tours by the McHales and other staff members. OVGʼs current staff numbers are 107, of which about half are located in the Hall Avenue complex. Other employees are part of field crews working out of such sites as Penetanguishene, Toronto, Labrador City, Kingston, Ottawa and Thunder Bay. “Weʼre making the operation more solidified, as one unit,” said McHale of the new complex, which has 23 new offices downstairs, five upstairs offices, a board room, and extensive space for manufacturing, assembly and shipping. “Weʼre able to have all of our production, estimating, drafting, project management, administrative support and accounting under one roof,” said McHale. “Our information flow is instantaneous, instead of having to drive to another building or phoning someone to try to find them. If we have an issue on the floor with production, we can bring two or three heads together and get it solved. Itʼs a huge benefit for us.” He suggested the company has taken a similar path to another Renfrew company, Deslaurier Custom Cabinets, which rebuilt within a vacant building on Hall Avenue, after a devastating fire a few years ago. “Definitely, theyʼve been an example for us,” said McHale, noting the new building has “positioned us for the future. Thatʼs really what we want. We want future growth and this building is going to allow us to be a leader in this field.

Renfrew BIA gearing up for the remainder of 2012 Steve Newman

Holmes. He previously received about $3,000 during its summer-fall season for downtown maintenance and another $3,000 for the remainder of the year. “This year we have been successful in getting a summer student grant from the provincial government. That will cover the watering and a number of maintenance issues,” said Vincent.

Concern about recommended tipping fees for Renfrew landfill Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

The owners of Barron Disposal are concerned the new tipping fees recommended for the Renfrew landfill site will put their company, and others, out of business. Co-owners Jeannie and Clarence Barron are upset about the fact the new fees are recommended to jump from $35 per tonne of mixed waste material to $80 per separated tonne and $150 per unseparated tonne. This unseparated fee compares to $75 per tonne for McNab-Braeside and the equivalent of $240 per 20-yard container in Horton, or $12 per yard. A 20-yard container is roughly three or four tonnes, says Jeannie Barron. “I donʼt have a problem with going to $80 per tonne,” she says, “but it should be $80 per tonne unseparated. Just how do you separate a 20-yard bin without going to a lot of expense.” Other options can be put in place to save the landfill site, says Ms. Barron. Two of her suggested options are to have designated staff in place to direct residents to the proper drop-off bins, and to have regulations that ensure garbage is coming from residents or companies within the town limits. Council plans to consider the new waste management fees at its June 11 council meeting, at which Barron is scheduled to speak. “If people are concerned, Iʼd like to see them at the meeting,” she said. Concerned citizens are welcomed to call her at 613-4326070. 4 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, June 7, 2012

The Renfrew BIA pays for repairs of broken trees and protective coverings, such as these, in the downtown core. Ron Berube and a kneeling Vince Pallen complete this job on Raglan Street. town probably were too. Like many residents, he says he assumed much of the maintenance downtown was done by the town. Not so, he learned. The BIAʼs annual budget goes toward tree trimming, liability insurance, the painting of benches and downtown lanterns, and the cost of tree lights, related hydro expenses, and seasonal banners. Now the BIA also has to be more creative about how it looks after the downtown core, after ending a maintenance contract with Doug

Another ongoing expense is $700 each season to change flags. There are five different seasonal banners, with the daisy banners in spring, Canadian flags for the summer, fall leaves for the autumn, and candy cane or snowflake banners for the winter. Renfrewʼs reputation for having one of the most attractive downtown cores in the province is, to some degree, due to such efforts over the last few decades. “If you took away the BIA, this main street would be very, very boring,” says Bob Flynn, a BIA board member and owner of The Korner Hutch. Other customer incentives include the successful move to have the town remove the parking meters for a 12-month test period. “There are people who wouldnʼt come downtown because of the parking. “To some people, a dime is very important,” says Flynn, who calls downtown parking a persistent “thorn in our side” because people are conditioned to think theyʼre going to be nailed

Renfrew Business Improvement Area (BIA) members are hoping a bigger board of directors and initiatives pay dividends in 2012 and beyond. One initiative is already in the works, with removal of parking meters in the fall expected to help increase the number of downtown shoppers, says Renfrew BIA chairman Lisa Vincent of Keeping Company. The BIA has also cut financial corners, recently, to help them reach some of their goals, while the annual levy from its 150 or so members is up for the first time in several years, from $60,000 to $65,000. That levy comes from a portion of business taxes of downtown landowners. What hasnʼt changed, says Vincent, are two ongoing BIA goals — downtown beautification, and the promotion, marketing and maintenance of downtown Renfrew. A third goal has become a bit more prominent in recent years, with a focus on supporting other community organizations, such as the recent Hog Wild Pork Festival and Decemberʼs Lions Club Santa Claus Parade. Revenue generation is also among the BIAʼs activities, which is partly done by keeping the downtown core attractive. Board member Mel Blimkie of A Sense of Country, whose business celebrates its first anniversary in July, admits he was a bit in the dark about what the BIA did. And if he is, he says non-business owners in

with the heavy parking fines seen in Ottawa. “Weʼre trying to make it as easy as possible for shoppers to come downtown and to remove any barriers to business,” says Vincent. Another BIA incentive is the creation of four major shopping-friendly promotional events. Two are already in place, with the springʼs downtown garage sale and Decemberʼs Rekindle the Spirit of Christmas campaign. This yearʼs July 28 Festival of Family is the third, while plans are underway to create a special autumn event. The Festival of Family will include buskers, the Sharon & Bram Show, a sidewalk sale and other festival attractions for young and old. What helps matters is that the BIA board has 11 members, compared to a number that has been as low as three in previous years. The BIA also pays for Tammy Loganʼs hours spent as secretary for the BIA. “With that many people dedicated and energized, itʼs going to make it easier to do what weʼre doing.” At the same time, 11 people canʼt do everything, says Blimkie. “Right now we have a great complement, but weʼre looking for people who can help out with individual events.” Another initiative in the works is a ʻthankyou-for-shopping-downtownʼ campaign, which is expected to kick off in late June. “When customers choose us over other retailers, it impacts our livelihood … so we want them to know theyʼre making a difference in our personal lives,” explains Vincent.

roadwork with economic development. Apparently they believe economic development is needed more in other regions. Some councillors suggested the federal government be approached, since the military base and AECL have strong federal connections. They said the federal government is interested, but the province must be on board first. “There is no reason people in Renfrew County have to die because the roads are not good,” said Lemay, who mused aloud about working with the minister of revenue to

figure out how much money is spent on OPP and other public resources after an accident. She implied more money could be saved preventing accidents than reacting to them. It was mentioned that with the CP rail line gone, roads are the only means of transporting goods on the ground through Renfrew County to Manitoba. Warden Bob Sweet said the county has had some success in winning dollars for the highway, but that a new approach is needed. He approved of Lemayʼs presentation. A county delegation will meet with Chiarelli June 27 in Toronto.

She passed around statistics to back up the individual deaths: between 2007 and 2011, Renfrew had 29 fatalities; the Upper Ottawa Valley had 29; by contrast Ottawa had 23; Russell had 14. Ottawa, with hundreds of thousands of vehicles on the Queensway in 2011, had five fatalities; Renfrew had 17. Other statistics backed up the notion that Highway 17 needs work. While admitting that “Roads donʼt kill people, people kill people,” Lemay nonetheless said the province should bring back rest stops, improve snow removal, and identify black spot areas. She twice added that the presentation was prompted by a story in The Renfrew Mercury by reporter Steve Newman. It detailed concern about the number of fatalities on the highway and included an interview with Renfrew StaffSgt. Colin Slight. Few in the room seemed confident the province would twin the highway to the west end of the county any time soon. The government will continue with an incremental approach, as dollars become available, it was agreed. Lemay and Petawawaʼs police services board asked council to secure a meeting with Transportation Minister Bob Chiarelli to discuss ways to reduce “the incomparable number of deaths on the provincial highways passing through Renfrew County.” McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell took issue with Lemay describing some of the accidents occurring “near Arnprior,” when it would be more accurate to say they occurred in McNab-Braeside. She argued that using the townshipʼs name would have more affect in Queenʼs Park than using Arnprior. Campbell also talked about the need for a stop light at the Calabogie Road intersection. Lemay said she used Google and newspaper reports to pull the presentation together, and that she didnʼt mean to exclude McNab-Braeside. “I know where it is,” she said. Many accidents seem to take place when drivers are forced to slow down after the two lanes end, leading to frustration. The financial argument failed, it was learned, because provincial politicians often tie

FRAUD

Renfrew OPP officers are investigating after a local convenience store was defrauded by an individual claiming to work for a company called Ukash. Ukash is an international cash payment method for those who wish to shop, pay or play on the Internet but either donʼt have a bank account/credit card or fear online scams. Ukash is electronic money. It enables you to exchange your physical money for a voucher code which represents electronic money of the same value. You can then use this money on the Internet. On May 31 a store employee received a call from a male claiming to work for the company that provided the Ukash machine (Now Prepay) and needed to update the machine. He had the employee print off several Ukash receipts and provide him with the secure ID number printed on the tickets. He phoned again the next day and did the same thing. The employee became suspicious and called Ukash.

We would also like to encourage new volunteers we are always looking for more help and leaders!

OPINION

Your Community Newspaper

Help yourself to good health and happiness through fitness • Low physical fitness is as strong a risk factor for mortality as smoking. • Fitness level is one of the strongest predictors of all-causes mortality in people with diabetes. • Physical activity can be as powerful as glucose-lowering medicine, with fewer side effects. • Regular physical activity, in conjunction with healthy eating and weight control, can reduce diabetes incidence by 60 per cent. The team also recommends that people who have been diagnosed with diabetes or pre-diabetes begin regular aerobic and resistance exercise, and they can help you create a plan.

Summer is just around the corner, brining the promise of good times with friends and family. It is also the ideal time to take advantage of long days and sunny skies to get outdoors and make a commitment to good health. The Renfrew County Diabetes Education team is spreading the message that regular physical activity is one of the most important things a person can do to manage and live well with diabetes. Fact is, itʼs the best thing anyone can do for their own personal well-being. The diabetes education team shares some interesting statistics.

No referral is needed to meet with the diabetes team, which is comprised of certified diabetes educators (registered dietitians and registered nurses) who work in collaboration with physicians, pharmacists, other health care professionals and family members to deliver what the diabetes team calls client-centred, self-managed care. To make an appointment, call 1-855-2937838. The diabetes teamʼs good-health message is timely, as this week (May 4 to 10) marks Healthy Me Week. The first annual national health initiative is designed to motivate and inspire Canadian kids

and families to take action on their health. Concerned Childrenʼs Advertisers is one group backing the initiative and offers seven Eat Smart, Move More tips that can be viewed at cca-arpe.ca. They include family Play with Me, Walk with Me and Dance with Me programs, and promote better nutrition by eating more fruits and vegetables. The website also addresses the dangers of sitting for too long and the need for regular fitness breaks throughout the day. An investment in oneʼs own health is always a wise one. Healthy people create healthy communities, healthy workplaces and a healthy economy.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

An invasion of privacy To the editor: The sunshine list is the most ridiculous invasion of privacy I have ever heard of. After seeing the results of the recent poll, I am disgusted with the people of the Renfrew area. I am a young adult who is not on this list; I would like to point out. What business is it of yours to know how much someone else makes, government employee or not. You have no idea how much each individual works,

or what they have to miss out on when responding to emergency calls or overtime work to investigate murders, preform surgery or deal with hospital paperwork. Getting called away halfway through your sonʼs hockey game and having him go home with some other family because you are constantly on call… your salary does not reflect sacrifices like that. Just like any profession, there are people who do not work as hard as others. There are plenty of people

not working for the government that make lots of money that is undeserved. Why donʼt you go stalk them and see how much money they make and create ridiculous stereotypes about peoples salaries and the work they do. Keep complaining; next time you have to call 9-1-1 and have no one show up because the employees are undervalued and leave. Laura Miller Renfrew

Gullible taxpayers duped by green euphoria of solar and wind power To the editor: I read with interest Steve Newmanʼs article on solar power and thought how most of us have been duped by all the green euphoria for solar and wind power in recent years, with little or no accountability for the inflationary pressures it has imposed on all of us. In Renfrewʼs case, someone should ask who the council and their advisors thought would pay for the $7-million profit? Clearly OPA would have to recoup that money from the users to include those on fixed income and those on minimum wage; in fact, anyone using electrical power. There is really no free ride. OPA were paying about

nine cents a kilowatt hour and hydro Quebec delivers at around six cents a kilowatt. So how did anyone think selling electricity to OPA for 70 cents (700 per cent increase) was going to be a good deal for the consumers (residents of Renfrew)? This would appear to be very crippling in a province that depends on industry which needs cheap power to survive. I get a chuckle out of all the rhetoric on tar sands killing our industry when maybe we should look in the mirror first. Solar and wind could be our Achilles heel, as the subsidies have come from the taxpayer with no positive return on their investment and, to top

it all off, it looks like we may be paying as much as 60 cents a kilowatt hour for surplus dumping south of the border. Those of us living in the country have seen our hydro bills double in the last four years and, in our case, double for less usage. At the same time our taxes have gone up across all tax bases (except GST), municipal, provincial, federal, and all those neat user fees that, in effect, are an indirect tax. I am not convinced the fault is with OPA, as it would appear the solar and wind have been imposed on them as well as us gullible taxpayers. Best regards, John David Renfrew

Web Poll POLL RESULTS

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION

How should rural townships provide recreation for their ratepayers?

Should the Renfrew farmers market have been relocated out of the downtown?

A) Pay the towns a fair share of operating costs of their arenas, pools and programs so residents can use them without a surcharge.

B) Provide their own rinks and playing

83%

as it gives customers more room to park and circulate.

0%

fields and give swimming lessons at the beach.

C)

Don’t pay the towns directly, but subsidize children who use the their facilities for minor hockey, ringette, figure skating and other healthy programs.

7%

D) Let everyone find their own recreation 10% such as fishing, hunting, swimming and walking fence lines like the ‘good old days’.

A) The move to the fairgrounds is a smart one,

B) Move them back downtown. It’s more of a social meeting place there and the market helps attracts customers to downtown businesses and vice versa.

C)

Locate them at a mall parking lot, because that’s where most people go to shop.

D) Put the farmers market at a farm close to town, or let each farmer sell their produce at the farm gate.

These well-helmeted bike rodeo participants are, from left, Seamus McHale, Brendan Enright, Isabella Enright and Katie McGrath.

Helmets on, heads up for lots of rodeo fun “This is a brain without a helmet. This is a brain with a helmet,â€? says Yolanda Prange while standing in front of dozens of students from St. MichaelĘźs Catholic School last Thursday and showing how much protection a helmet can provide for our skulls. To demonstrate her point, she held up uncooked eggs in a shell, one with protective covering and one without. Students then dropped the helmeted egg to the pavement, with no adverse effect; then the unhelmeted egg, with a yokey result. A physiotherapist, parent

and volunteer with the ThinkFirst.ca organization, Prange was one of the chief instructors at the Douglas elementary schoolĘźs inaugural bicycle rodeo. With the help of strong visual aids, like the eggs, she stressed the need to wear a helmet to protect the brain, whose skull is only “three pennies thick.â€? She also told students that ThinkFirst.ca is about reducing concussions and brain injuries. Founded in 1992, the association strives to teach kids, and those who care about youth, to understand the wonder and fragility of their brains, and how safety mea-

sures keep those brains safe and sound. More than 50 St. MikeĘźs students brought their bicycles to the rodeo that featured eight distinct stations. The ďŹ rst station featured PrangeĘźs introduction. The next stations, in order, were Stopping, Tightrope Cyclist, The Balancing Act, The Streamer, The Slalom, The Clock and TrafďŹ c Regulations. For TrafďŹ c Regulations, students were required to use various hand signals for stopping and turning over a course marked out within the hockey rink boards. All stations were set up as tests for the studentsĘź riding

Students rotated through seven riding stations, at which they received a pass or fail stamp, after undergoing an earlier bike inspection. Items checked included air capacity in tires, the condition of brakes, handlebars, the chain and crank, and quick release, and checking or adjusting for the proper frame size and seat height.

Music for young and old in Eganville park Wednesdays and Fridays Mark Wednesday, June 13 on your calendar as the Music in the Park summer series ofďŹ cially begins, with opening ceremonies and live music. Every Wednesday from 7 to 9 p.m. this summer, live music by local musicians will be featured in EganvilleĘźs Centennial Park. Organizer Guy Jamieson says WednesdayĘźs music will probably appeal more to an older crowd, while Friday evening features music for the younger folk, with local rock groups on stage. Jamieson, working with Bonnechere ValleyĘźs community development committee, was impressed with the Music in the Park summer series at PembrokeĘźs Riverside Park, where he himself performed. He felt Eganville could offer the same entertainment. He was also overwhelmed with the amount of talent in the area when he chaired the entertainment committee for Renfrew CountyĘźs Expo 150 celebrations last summer and

went searching for volunteer musicians to ďŹ ll the three stages over four days of celebration. “They were coming out of the woodwork!â€? Jamieson said. Opening night will feature the ValleyĘźs own Ralph Selle and the Douglas Connection, while a talented local group, Faster Than Plaid, will be featured on Friday night. A brand new public address system has been purchased for the entertainers to use, and the Godda brothers – Jarrett and Justin – will be the sound technicians for each performance. Jamieson is contacting groups to entertain at the park, but encourages people to call him at 613-628-2234 if they would like to volunteer their talents. If you sing and want to perform, a two-hour show can be set up featuring eight singers who do three or four numbers each. Come on down, bring your lawn chair!

“A very distinguished squadron, you are.” That was the message from reviewing officer Lt.-Col. J.R. Shields to the 653 Champlain Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron Sunday, June 3 in Renfrew. But he also had a question. “Are you having fun?” he asked. “Thatʼs what itʼs all about.” Foremost, Shields congratulated the cadets on their decision to join. “That decision is an important one,” he said, noting how it shows oneʼs desire to be engaged in the community, and an interest in air aviation and the Canadian forces. Shields also spoke directly to the parents, thanking them for encouraging their children, and to the AFAC Wing for its support of the cadet movement for 55 years. Commanding Officer Captain D. Mark Shannon called the annual inspection “a chance to provide you only a small window on what we do here.” “I am very proud of our organization, our facilities, our program and especially our cadets,” Shannon said. A busy training year in-

cluded gliding in North Bay, orienteering exercises at CFB Petawawa, an inter-squadron sports day with the Arnprior army cadets, and an air crew survival exercise on Calumet Island. “This year we added something new to the program: biathlon. By all accounts, it was a hit,” said Shannon. “With the support of detachment and our sponsoring committee, we were able to secure the necessary rifles and build the proper facilities to store them safely and legally. “This year we were also fortunate to add some Reg Force expertise to our staff. Cpl Sean Arsenault, a new volunteer from 427 Tactical Helicopter Squadron also joined and is our new drill instructor. Although he joined us late in the year, he has already made great improvements in the quality of our drill in a very short space in time.” As the program closes down for the summer, Shannon said the fall will bring exciting new additions. Among them will be a flight simulator, the funding for which was approved by the Wing sponsoring committee. “These simulators move with the cadets control movements, and combined with the

visuals of the three monitors, the cadets get a more realistic flying experience,” Shannon said. The group is also seeking pipe and drum instruction and hopes the cadets will once again have a squadron pipe and drum band. “While this training year is just winding down, our recruiting drive is just beginning for another year. The gliding program, flying scholarships, the national summer courses and weekend exercises truly makes the air cadet program the best of the best youth programs in Canada. For this coming year we had added a staff member who will be dedicated to retention and recruiting. I hope we can boost our cadet numbers significantly. Captain Shannon thanked a long list of staff, cadets and volunteers, in particular the AFAC 433 Wing.

Cadets

Continued from Page 13

“We have first-class facilities that are the envy of other squadrons. Iʼve met several commanding officers during my many weeks away from my family attending the mandatory courses necessary to become CO. “There are many examples of squadrons that parade out of the trunks of cars and use basements of homes as supply rooms. The “Wing” provides much of our funding and these incredible facilities in which to house our squadron,” Shannon said. “In closing, I congratulate the cadets on another year of accomplishments and invite all of you back next year, for another year of friends, fun and adventure.” Sundayʼs inspection also featured performances by the Renfrew Highland Pipes and Drums, and closed with cadet demonstrations and displays

and refreshments. A number of 2012 awards were also presented. The Gordon Butler Memorial Award for best first-year female cadet went to LAC Emily Croft. The award, presented by reviewing officer Lt.-Col Shields, is based on best uniform scores, attendance and someone who best exemplifies the cadet. The Anne Leblanc Memorial Award honours the memory of former president of the 433 Wing of the Air Force Association of Canada. She was also a past member of the 653 Champlain Squadron sponsoring committee The award for best first-year male cadet was presented by 433 Wing president Ron Price to LAC Nicolas Leclaire. The Herb Rusheleau Memorial Award is given to a senior cadet who sets the best example for the junior cadets, showing deportment, leadership and enthusiasm.

Rusheleauʼs daughter Susan OʼNeil presented the award to Flight Cpl. Connor Croft. The Royal Canadian Legion Cadet Medal of Excellence recognizes individual endeavours in citizenship that meet or enhance the aims and objectives of the cadet movement. Ron Kilby of the Royal Canadian Legion presented the honour to Flight Cpl. Zachary Pudsey. The Air Cadet Service Medal is awarded by the Air Cadet League of Canada to cadets who have completed four continuous calendar years of service with the Royal Canadian Cadets. Squadron director Susan Antler, representing the Air Cadet League of Canada, Ontario Provincial Committee, presented medals to WO2 Denis Bruyere, Flight Sgt. Connor Bennett and Sgt. Alex Cremer. More awards will be presented at the groupʼs annual Cadet Mess Dinner June 12.

My View From Island View

Curiosity So I was giving some thought to curiosity. I consider myself to be a very curious person and find I am drawn to others who possess this trait. Wanting to know about new things is the driving force behind many magnificent inventions. A friend of mine, who by the way is a very eligible senior citizen, has started to date. When I asked her if she revealed her whole life story to her new suitor, she replied…”No…I want to be mysterious…I want him to be curious about me!” Curiosity keeps your mind active. The exercise of asking questions and searching for answers is an excellent mental activity. When you are curious about something, your mind looks for new ideas related to the object of your curiosity. If you are not curious, the ideas may be right in front of you and yet you miss them because your mind is not prepared to recognize them. Curiosity opens to new possibilities. I can remember being very interested in Thailand. Up to that point I had only ever gone on beach vacations down south. It never occurred to me that there was a much larger and interesting world to see. I attended a talk about this little country in Asia and before I knew it, I found myself in Patpong, one of the world’s most famous red light

districts in Bangkok! Being open and curious about other parts of the world has opened me to many exciting adventures which are often hidden beneath the surface of normal everyday life. Being curious is never boring. There is always some new activity or idea to explore. Have you found that it is the curious people that have loads of adventure in their life? When I asked some of the residents at Island View what their thoughts on curiosity were, Denise shared with me that curiosity should be learning everything about your own interests first and have respect for other people’s privacy and self esteem before you are curious about them. Midge stated that she is not as curious as she would like to be and confessed she would probably learn more if she was more curious about life. Wellwood thought that not knowing is NOT a disgrace and not knowing where to find answers is a pity, but to not know and not WANT to find the answers is a pure tragedy indeed. Others equated an avid curiosity about others shows them you care yet some thought there was a fine line between being curious and being nosey.

How do we foster a curious mind? It is important to be open to learn new things, unlearn old patterns that no longer serve you and relearn new ways of being and thinking about the world around you. Be open to changing your mind to old ideas. Don’t take things at face value. Try and dig deeper below to another level. A friend once shared with me that all behavior makes sense when you understand where they are coming from. Ask questions. What, why, when, who, where, how are a curious minds most favorite questions. Above all, look at learning as fun. If we can look at life as being one long adventure with ups as well as downs we will most certainly want to be curious about what makes us tick as well as the world around us.

Groves Park Lodge has been putting on their WalkʻnʼRolla-thon for the Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County for a number of years. Under sunny yet not too hot of conditions May 30, a good number of residents were out strolling and rolling to raise funds for a cause in 2012. They were led by Pete, a

therapy dog, and handler Joanne Caldwell. “I appreciate the support of Groves Park for the Alzheimer Society, and having this walk and roll-athon over the years,” said society program staff member Tracey Liebig. “Thank you for the wonderful donations and wonderful support.” “All money raised goes to the Renfrew chapter of the

Alzheimer Society,” added Groves Park program facilitator Sherry Bradley. “We thank the residents, and their families for being here getting pledges.” After the walk, all participants were able to cool down with a sundae in the GEM Hall. Each sundae cost one dollar, which went to the Alzheimer Society.

United Church one of first to embrace diversity Leading up to the Ottawa Valley’s first Diversity Festival July 7 in Renfrew, organizers invite you to meet some of the many diverse individuals who make up our unique and wonderful community. “The United Church, within the spectrum of Christian denominations, we are certainly known for more liberal leanings,” says Rev. Russell Wardell of Trinity-St. Andrewʼs United Church in Renfrew. Wardell and wife Rev. Susan Tough, with whom he leads the congregation, came to Renfrew from a church in Winnipeg. Wardell became a minister 25 years ago, kind of a rare occurence, he says. It seems to often be that a calling to the ministry is a second career, he says. The United Church is indeed one of the first to have started talking about and to embrace diversity. “We were one of the first denominations to ordain women and we entered into the conversation of sexuality in the 1970s,” says Wardell. “In 1988, we decided being gay or lesbian was not a barrier to ordination,” he said. The United Church of Canada was active in the campaign that led to legal recognition of same-sex marriages in our country and now allows individual congregations to decide whether or not to perform these marriages. The United Church is providing the venue for Dragonʼs Breath, the dramatic performance that will open and close the July 6 and 7 Diversity Festival. “We are very much in support of the principles of the diversity festival in that all people in the community should feel not only a sense of belonging but a sense of

pride for what they contribute to their community,” says Wardell. “We find it to be in keeping with Jesusʼ commitment to reaching out to the most vulnerable people in the community. We very much understand this to be in keeping with our call as a people of faith.” One of the biggest differences between Winnipegʼs dioceses, where there were 39 various churches, and Renfrew, where there is one United Church in the town, is that the more urban setting provided more options for parisioners with churches specializing in various beliefs. Wardell says he is proud of the congregation and church community for the way they work together and respect each otherʼs beliefs, even if they donʼt always agree. The church has established a committee that examines issues, including gender identity and sexual orientation and how to foster more acceptance. Promoting diversity and acceptance will continue to be a focus in the future, says Wardell. The Festival kicks off Fri-

Funding disparities in the classroom The first of a three-part series looks at the inequities in educational opportunities throughout Ontario By Kristen Calis, Jessica Cunha and Rosie-Ann Grover

I

n an affluent neighbourhood in the nationʼs capital, a school that the prime ministerʼs children once attended is flush with cash. The money comes from serious fundraising that brings in $60,000 just in pizza lunches and a well-attended book fair. Rockcliffe Park Public School – a kindergarten to Grade 6 school with a large proportion of children from area embassies – does not disclose the total it brings in through fundraising by its heavily involved parents, students and teachers. But school council minutes show it had more than enough to spend $12,000 on hip-hop and drumming sessions for the arts program, a cricket skills tune-up and new equipment for the gym. Funds from the book fair covered the $5,000 for this yearʼs author workshop. It brings writers such as Alphabeasts sensation Wallace Edwards, a Governor Generalʼs Award winner, to the school for – as the website puts it – “the extraordinary experience to have the opportunity to converse with an author of a book you have just read and loved!” Five kilometres away, at Queen Mary Street Public School, celebrated author meet-ups just donʼt happen. This school, where the majority of students are from homes where English is a second language, is lucky if it raises $500 in a year, says Chris Ellis, who sits on four Ottawa school councils. Any fundraising proceeds that do come in go to the deficit-ridden milk program or to subsidize field trips for families struggling on an average parent income of $29,000, compared with $155,000 at Rockcliffe Park (figures from the Fraser Institute). An Arabic- and Somali-speaking multicultural liaison officer comes to Queen Mary twice a week. “Most of the schools that Iʼm directly involved with are schools that all struggle to raise funds,” Ellis says. “Theyʼre dealing with communities that donʼt have the capacity to raise funds, which is the irony of it; the schools that are most challenged – and you could arguably say have the greatest need for

additional resources – are the very schools that find it hard to raise funds.” Similar disparities exist across Ontario, where the top 10 per cent of fundraising schools bring in the same amount of money as the bottom 75 per cent combined, according to People for Educationʼs 2012 report on Ontarioʼs publicly funded schools. “You can see in that way how big the gap is,” says Annie Kidder, executive director of the parent-led organization. Society, not just parents, needs to be concerned with the gap. “Itʼs the next generation

Ontario schools fundraise? Many boards donʼt want to say. Metroland surveyed 28 English public and Catholic school boards across Ontario and found more than half were reluctant to provide financial information. Fundraising is a sensitive issue, especially when disclosure of inequities is possible. In Waterloo, a public school board representative declined to provide a breakdown of funds raised, saying it would allow the public to see disparities. In Hamiltonʼs public board, teachers and principals were given scripts on how to respond to Metroland reporters. Only 11 of the 28 school boards surveyed provided their fundraising total. Fundraising in those boards pumped $26 million into their 788 schools. The remaining 17 boards provided

Fundraising is defined in this report as an activity in the school community conducted by parents, students and/or staff to raise funds for the benefit of the school and students. of society thatʼs being educated,” she says. “It will have an impact on everybody.” It means that schools with the ability to raise large sums can significantly enrich their studentsʼ education with high-tech learning aids such as laptops and SMART Boards. But in many schools, fundraising isnʼt just for the frills. Itʼs for classroom basics such as air conditioning and books or breakfast programs. A survey of 28 school boards for this Metroland Special Report turned up fundraising gaps as large as half a million dollars between schools in the same board. It also underscored how firmly money from bake sales, car washes and other fundraising has become entrenched in the education system. Concern is growing about the overuse of fundraising – and the disparities it creates – at a time when public money is tightening under the McGuinty governmentʼs austerity drive. And despite the provinceʼs introduction last month of the first-ever guidelines for fundraising, there still are no formal rules, in the form of province-wide regulations, to govern the vast amounts of money collected. How much money do

only a broad figure that includes fundraising but is mixed in with other revenue (see chart). In boards that provided school-by-school breakdowns, there are significant gaps in money raised. In Haltonʼs public board, half a million dollars separates White Oaks Secondary in Oakville, which raised $511,000 last year, from Acton District High School, which took in just $8,000. Thereʼs a significant difference in the size of the schools (2,100 at White Oaks; 546 in the small community of Acton) but the Acton school took in proportionally less. In York, more than $125,000 separates two elementary schools within the same board. St. Clare Catholic School, located in a wealthy Woodbridge neighbourhood, brought in $131,000. In a less affluent area in Markham, St. Francis Xavier Catholic Elementary School raised just $4,000. At Hamiltonʼs St. Joseph Catholic elementary school where parent involvement is high, the school took in $192,000. Five kilometres away in the north end of the city, St. Lawrence elementary brought in $9,800. Critics, school associations and parents say the need to fundraise is the result of in-

adequate funding, making it necessary for schools to bulk up on private dollars, sometimes even for the basics. “Fundraising is so political. Itʼs basically a fallout. Itʼs a symptom of a bigger issue in public education,” says Catherine Fife, president of the Ontario Public School Boardsʼ Association, which has been calling for a funding model review for a number of years. Education Minister Laurel Broten says Ontario increased education funding to $20.3 billion in the 2010-11 school year, an increase of $6.5 million – or 45 per cent – since 2003, excluding capital programs. “Fundraising proceeds should only be used to complement dollars of public in-

vestment to the schools and to the education system,” Broten says. “The Ministry of Education funds directly many programs and investments where we seek to ensure we have an equitable education system; our results are demonstrating that.” NDP education critic Peter Tabuns says students attending schools with the ability to fundraise large amounts will likely have better music and art classes, more computers and school trips. “Youʼll see a richer educational experience for the children, and for the schools that have no money, things will be tighter,” Tabuns says. “They will have less access to computers, to textbooks, what we see as integral or important parts of a good, solid

education.” Fundraising inequities have been building for more than 20 years, says Kidder, of People for Education. “Itʼs really important to remember that kind of the fundamental premise of public education is to crassly provide a level playing field for kids or to overcome intergenerational cycles of poverty,” she says. “All children should have a fairly equitable chance for success and if you start to entrench fundraising as a core component of the funding for education, the danger is that you actually increase the inequity rather than narrow it.” To read the full text, visit www.yourottawaregion.com.

“Itʼs to raise funds for the maintenance of the airfield,” said long-time breakfast volunteer Dennis Yakaback. “Itʼs a chance for the public to see some really lovely aircraft and to enjoy some fellowship under the pines.” The public is welcome to interact with the pilots and, in some instances, to sit in the cockpit of some of the manufactured or homebuilt small aircraft. Planes flying in for the event are expected to include Challengers and Cessna 150s.

There are still a few openings. “No matter how insignificant (a spot or bump on the skin) it might seem, get it checked,” Wakely said. “We are focusing on people without doctors,” Wakely added. She adds with regret that the clinic canʼt accept patients from the Province of Quebec because of the red tape involved. To register, call 613-433-3635.

Another Wond?rful success Anne Lefebvre Queen Elizabeth Public School

The gymnasium at Queen Elizabeth Public School was once again humming with the sounds of inquiry during Education Week as the Primary students presented their annual Wond?r Exhibition Projects. The students were encouraged to satisfy their natural curiosity about the world around them, by posing and answering a wondering question. This yearʼs questions were typical of young studentsʼ inquisitive minds: How do cat-

erpillars turn into butterflies? Why do onions make you cry? How did soccer begin? How do fish breathe underwater? How was the Earth formed? Why do snakes shed their skin? The students presented their answers in a wide variety of ways, including slide shows, science experiments, and models. Everyone was very excited to show off their hard work, and the exhibits were visited by family members, fellow students, and members of the community. It was another “wond?rful” showcase of learning!

Seniors ready for their month Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

The ribbon was cut on Seniors Month 2012 in Renfrew at the Groves Park Lodge GEM Hall Friday afternoon. “We are honoured to be opening Seniors Month at Groves Park this year,” Groves Park program facilitator Erica Hobbs said. “The theme (this year) is Celebrate. Participate. Celebrate the wisdom and experience that they bring, not just today, but every day.” MPP John Yakabuski noted June was declared Seniors Month in 1989. “The government set aside a month to honour and celebrate seniors and their contri-

butions.” Yakabuski said events for the seniors to participate in throughout the month of June, and indeed, anytime, are “good for the mind, good for the soul, (and) good for the body.” The Town of Renfrew showed its support with the presentation of a plaque to honour the occasion. “We encourage all citizens to celebrate the accomplishments of seniors,” councillor Andrew Evans said. Groves Park Lodge, Quail Creek, Bonnechere Manor and Renfrew Victoria Hospital will be hosting numerous events throughout the month of June.

Chartwell Seniors Housing REIT in Renfrew is excited to announce that local auditions will be held in June for Senior Star, Canadaʼs largest talent competition dedicated to seniors. Now in its sixth year, this singing and musical instrument competition is open to anyone who is 65 years and over and a Canadian resident. Quail Creek Retirement Centre is proud to be hosting a regional audition on June 13 at Groves Park Lodge. Registration forms can be obtained at Quail Creek, 450 Albert St. by Friday, June 8. Contestants do not have to be living in a Chartwell residence. “Chartwellʼs Senior Star has grown to become the largest celebration of senior talent in Canada,” announced Brent Binions, President and CEO of Chartwell Seniors Housing REIT. “We are proud to support the incredible talent of todayʼs seniors and continue to be amazed and entertained year after year by the calibre of performers who participate.” During the regional competitions, contestants are given a maximum of five minutes to sing a song, play an instrument, or do both, and their performance is videotaped. Musical accompaniment is provided to singing contestants, if required. A panel of three judges, made up of local musical experts, government officials, and media representatives choose the top three local contestants, each of whom will be recognized with a Senior Star trophy. Videos of the first- and second-place winners from across Canada are then submitted to a celebrity panel of judges who will narrow the list to nine competitors invited to compete in the Senior Star National Final. The National Final will be held in November 2012 in Niagara Falls at the Scotiabank Theatre. Chartwell Seniors Housing REIT owns and operates a complete range of seniors housing communities, from independent supportive living through assisted living to long term care.

Bishop one big step closer to qualifying for 2012 Olympics

Melissa Bishop

Middle-distance runner Melissa Bishopʼs chances of competing in the 2012 Summer Olympics drastically improved Saturday evening. The Eganville runner became only the third Canadian woman to break two minutes for 800 metres. More importantly, she broke the Canadian A standard of 1:59:90. Bishop, whoʼs a member of the Ottawa Lions, placed third in the Prefontaine Classic in a personal best (PB)

time of 1 minute 59.82 seconds while finishing behind two Americans. Alysia Johnson Montana ran 1:57:37 and Geena Gill was second in 1:59:28 in the Eugene, Ore., race. Another Canadian, Jessica Smith, of the Valley Royals Track and Field Club in Abbotsford, B.C., broke Canadaʼs Olympic B standard of 2:01.30, by placing fifth in a lifetime best of 2:00.61. “You ran 1:59, you ran 1:59!” said an excited Smith at the finish line as she and Bishop hugged each other and

jumped up and down. Bishop, 23, had twice cracked the B standard. That meant she could clinch an Olympic berth if she also finishes in the top three at the Olympic trials and no other Canadian runner ran the A standard or two B standards. Now with her own A standard time, sheʼs in the driverʼs seat, with a time that now ranks her third all-time in Canada and 18th in the world in 2012. By cracking the top three at the Olympic trials, sheʼll be guaranteed a berth on the Canadian Olympic team.

The trials are in Calgary, where the womenʼs 800 heats take place June 28 and the final June 30. “Sheʼs certainly put herself in a good position,” said Scott MacDonald, Athletics Canadaʼs director of national team programs. “Thereʼs just one more thing to do,” said Bishop, whoʼs “excited and overwhelmed” but trying to stay calm and collected about the prospects of being an Olympian. See BISHOP, Page 30

Prestigious tournament continues to survive the test of time all played different sports,” he said. “About ʼ72 or ʼ73, people involved in the tournament started bringing a friend, and they would bring a friend.

PETER CLARK PETER’S PUTTERINGS College in Columbus, won the 40th Links of Friendship title in 2008. While you donʼt have to be the worldʼs greatest golfer to participate, “history shows that over the years, to win this tournament, you have to play well,” Muzz said. The tournament record is shared by Rob Warren and Mike Mooreʼs

son, Tom, with a 67. Wren is pretty sure no one else has equalled this feat. Tom Moore, son of Mike, won last yearʼs Links of Friendship Bill Wren Memorial Cup, named in honour of Wrenʼs brother. “The Renfrew Golf Club has been outstanding in the support of the tournament over all the years,” Muzz said.

Itʼs one of the top events on the Renfrew Golf Club calendar, and on June 23 the Links of Friendship will take centre stage for the 44th time. The tournament has made great strides over the years since its humble beginnings. “Mike Moore started it in 1969,” organizer Muzz Wren noted. “There were 28 original players.” While numbers were smaller back then, Wren said it was a good field. “All the guys that played were some form of athlete in town.

I wasnʼt nervous, and usually my stomach is in a knot,” admitted Bishop, who expected the race to be fast, with so many sub-2:00 runners in the field. The pace was ideal for Bishop, as she passed 400 metres in low 58s and 600 metres in 1:29 before battling Gill for second place over the last 100 metres. The good thing now, said Bishop, is that thereʼs no more pressure until the Olympic trials, with the opportunity to concentrate on training. She leaves today (June 7) for training in western Canada, and to compete June 10 in Vancouver

and June 13 in Victoria. Meanwhile, other Canadians are still looking for their first or second B standard time in the womenʼs 800 metres. Potential contenders, who have all run 2:02 or faster, are Smith, Canadian record holder Diane Cummins (1:58.39 in 2001), Katie Palmer, Lemlem Ogbasilassie (who ran 2:01 last year) and Helen Crofts. FUNDRAISING TRIVIA NIGHT

Meanwhile, a June 15 fundraising trivia night is being organized for Bishop at the Douglas Tavern. About a dozen teams are registered so far, with space available for twice that number. The cost is $60 per team of four to six people. There

Four Raiders qualify for OFSAA Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

The Renfrew Collegiate Raiders will have good representation at the Ontario high school (OFSAA) track and field championships Friday and Saturday in Brockville. Four Raider athletes in five events will be returned to Thousand Islands Secondary School (TISS), site of last weekʼs East Regional meet. Colleen Fleury will lead the RCI contingent this week. Fleury qualified in both the senior girls discus and shot put events. Fleury was third in the discus with a throw of 32.63 metres, and fourth in the shot put at 10.57 metres. Competitors finishing in the top four advanced. Joining Fleury at OFSAA will be three other Raiders on the strength of third-place performances. Amanda Tubman registered 29.35 metres in the junior girls discus, Dane Brumm was third in the midget boys discus at 38.87 metres, while John Pettigrew broke his own school record in the midget boys 3,000 metres with a time of 9:27.79. The Raiders also had some

other notable performances that resulted in near-misses for OFSAA. Josh Thero was fifth in the junior boys javelin at 46.48 metres, and sixth in the triple jump at 11.33. Tubman was sixth in both the junior girls discus (29.33 metres) and javelin (28.15). Phil Kadlec was sixth in the midget boys 400 in 56.44 seconds. San Agnew was seventh in 9:41.41 in the junior boys 3,000 metres, and ninth in the 1,500 metres in 4:25.87. Coaches Kathleen Mottershead and Roger Poirier said athletes battled through less than ideal weather conditions. The Senior Raiders posted a 1-and-1 record at the EOSSAA senior boys championship May 30 at Ma-Te-Way Park. The Raiders were dominate in a 4-0 win over the Le Relais Intrepide of Alexandria in the local squadʼs opening game. Atai Kaseke, Chad Bennett, Blake McHenry and Connor Jamieson chipped in on a balanced RCI scoring attack. Abe Ellement posted the shutout. Jason Fleury also helped his keeper out with a

save partway through the contest. But the Raiders fell behind early, and dropped a 2-0 decision to a good Glengarry Gaels side in RCIʼs second game. “The Renfrew lads fought hard, but we were unable to sustain possession or pressure the Gananoque end. We were unable to capitalize on the chances we did generate,” Raiders coach Bill Currie said. Both RCI girls Renfrew County champions soccer teams were in Alexandria for EOSSAA May 29. The senior girls was unable to qualify for the Ontario high school (OFSAA) championship, but coach Ed Oegema said it wasnʼt through a lack of effort. “They showed a lot of heart and determination,” the coach observed. The junior girls blanked Le Relais 3-0. Monica Fulton scored two goals and Kaleigh Nichol a single for RCI. Draw Shalla earned the shutout. The Raiders were 16 minutes into their second contest when heavy rain for the postponement of remaining games.

They have put together an application for Renfrew and RCI for the TSN (The Sports Network) Kraft Celebration Tour. If successful, RCI would win a $25,000 award for the community and TSN will broadcast SportsCentre live from Renfrew. “It exploded on Twitter (last week),” Noack said of the RCI applicationʼs first day. “If people visit the website, http://www.kraftcelebrationtour.ca/nominations/detail/854/ they can sign and leave comments in support!” The nomination period ends Sunday at midnight.

He called from North Carolina after watching the live online feed, to tell her sheʼd broken the A standard.

Berry said a group of local people looking on from the sidelines gave her inspiration. “I saw the Miss Ontario East (Grace Stewart) Group. I slapped hands with them. ThatĘźs what keeps you going. “I improved on my Boston time by over 15 seconds,â€? Berry added. The runner-up in BerryĘźs age group was .6 seconds shy of being a full 11 minutes behind her.

Bananas were never really in the semifinal game as Hillary MacMillan scored eight of the first 10 points for the Reunions, to open up a 10 -2 lead. They extended the lead to 25-6 by half time and coasted to a 40-24 victory. Frances/Lemke Co-operators ensured that there would be two new teams in the final this year by knocking off last yearʼs winner, Mid-Town Flooring. After three quarters of play, they were deadlocked at 18-18. The Co-operators scored the next two baskets and Mid-Town couldnʼt respond, losing 27-22. Sheila Windle sparked the Co-operators with 10 points, but more importantly, with numerous steals while controlling the offence. Sarah MacLaren was the only Mid-Town sniper who hit more than one basket, netting half of Mid-Townʼs points. CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

St. Joseph’s Jaguars a formidable EOSSAA soccer host at two levels Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

The St. JosephĘźs Jaguars ended their boys soccer season co-hosting the 2012 EOSSAA senior and junior championships for A schools with the Renfrew Collegiate Raiders May 30. The Jaguars put in a good account for themselves. The two St. JosephĘźs teams combined for two wins and a tie in four games, but were unable to advance to the EOSSAA ďŹ nal. The Glengarry Gaels captured the senior title with a 3-0 win over Gananoque, while Char-Lan claimed the junior crown.

The Senior Jaguars had a win and a draw to ďŹ nish second in their pool. Braeden Troutman scored the gameĘźs only goal in a 1-0 win over the Almonte Thunderbolts in the home sideĘźs ďŹ rst game. Zach McIntyre posted the shutout. A goal on a penalty kick with ďŹ ve minutes remaining pulled Gananoque into a 1-1 draw in St. JosephĘźs second contest. A hand ball resulted in GananoqueĘźs free chance. Josh Naismith notched St. JosephĘźs marker. Gananoque eventually outscored the Jaguars 4-3 on tiebreaking penalty kicks. However, this result had no bearing

in the end as it was only in use should it be necessary as a tiebreaker in the ďŹ nal standings in the pool. St. JosephĘźs split its two junior encounters. The Junior Jaguars suffered an opening-game 3-1 setback to Rockland. But the Jaguars showed no quit and answered with a 2-0 win over Almonte. Evan Naismith enjoyed a ďŹ ne game for the Jaguars. He scored a goal, and also played one half of the game between the pipes. Mike Vice counted St. JosephĘźs ďŹ rst goal on a penalty kick. Braydon McEnroe shared the shutout with Naismith.

TRACK AND FIELD

Four Jaguars were at the East Regional track and ďŹ eld championship at Thousand Islands Secondary School (TISS) in Brockville Friday

and Saturday. Shannon Charbonneau turned in the schoolĘźs best showing. She had a ninthplace in the senior girls discus with a throw of 28.76 metres. Mike Vice was 11th in the

junior boys high jump at 1.65 metres, and ďŹ nished 13th in the triple jump at 10.68 metres. Haydon McIntyre was 15th in the junior boys trriple jump event in 10.54 metres.

Nathan Blok picked up where he left off last season with an opening weekend win at Circuit Mont-Tremblant. close to the end of the race and in a position to go for the win, but it was still a great race. The next day, May 27, Blok qualified in the coveted pole position for the feature race. Blok maintained his starting position with Coupal hot on his tail. The two young racers diced each other for the lead through the opening laps. Soon, lapped traffic became an issue. With side-byside racing on lap 9, Blok and Coupal approached the infamous Namarow corner. Blok emerged in front yet Coupal was not giving up. On the final lap, Blok threaded the needle between two back-markers in corner 8 in a breathtaking move. Coupal challenged Blok

one final time in Namarow but Blok successfully defended his line and took the checkered flag at the finish line. “The second race was so intense from start to finish, it really is difficult to sum up in a few sentences. It was hard racing, but it was clean and fair, and thatʼs what made it so much fun,” Blok said. “Itʼs great to see that the action was so intense; the Grand Prix should be another excellent race weekend. I would like thank all my sponsors for their support and the BritianWest Motorsport team for preparing an awesome car for me this weekend. All in all, It was a great race, great weekend, and Iʼm really excited heading to the Grand Prix.”

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

An agreement will be nullified before you even get started, Aries. It is time to come up with a different plan of action if you want better results.

Libra, after some busy months, you are ready for a vacation. This well-deserved respite could be an elaborate trip to some place exotic, if you should so choose.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Relationship woes have slowed you down, Taurus. It could take a few days before you return to full speed. Delegate some of your responsibilities, if necessary.

Scorpio, with so many creative ideas constantly whirling in your head, it can sometimes be difficult zeroing in on one. Luckily this week you will get things in order.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Gemini, you’re giving off so much creative energy that people may flock to your side for the next several days. This newfound celebrity could be an asset.

Sagittarius, avoid passing judgement on someone else close to you. Listen to their problems and work with them to find a good solution.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Cancer, there is no easy way around something you need to get done at work. Being scatterbrained this week may add to the pressure of getting things done.

There’s no use procrastinating on something that needs to get done this week, Capricorn. It will only prolong the amount of time you have to worry about it.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Leo, you have to ask a lot of questions to get to the root of a problem that’s been bothering you. You have the personality to get to the answers easily.

Aquarius, patience and motivation is all you need to start tackling that to-do list. Finding a partner to help will make the work go twice as fast.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Virgo, an unexpected partnership could arise this week. While it may be bumpy at the start, after a few days, the two of you will have worked out all of the kinks.

Pisces, others often look to you for inspiration. You will not disappoint this week when you offer some unique ideas.

Beachburgʼs Nathan Blok, the 18-year old 2011 Formula 1600 Champion, returned to the challenging Circuit MontTremblant track north of Montréal. Blok raced his #1 Van Dieman F-1600 in the Formula Libre class as part of the Spring Classic in the 2012 Formula Tour 1600 Championship. On Saturday, May 26, Blok qualified third in a field of 20 competitors, a mere 0.3 seconds off the pole. With the drop of the green flag the first feature 1600 race of the year began with Blok quickly gaining a position in the first corner. A full-course caution was in effect for the next two laps but Blok was ready when the green was shown again. Blok passed Xavier Coupal for the lead and the two drove hard to control the lead position. Coupal went off the course on the sixth lap and Blok would lead the field until lap 13 when he too left the pavement. Quickly rejoining the race in seventh place, Blok began his charge back up through the field, crossing the line in sixth place behind veteran racer Didier Scharenen. “It was a great race. The car was slowly losing grip as the race progressed, but I was able to control the slow decline of rear grip fairly well.” Blok said. “I was disappointed to have spun out, especially being so

NEW HORTON DUMP APPROVAL: Ontario Enviroment Assessment Board approval was received by Horton Town-

ship last week to establish a new dump. The new site is on the north side of the Bonnechere River, Lot 17, Concession 6, as applied for by the township. Horton must now submit a plan and specifications to the Ministry of Environment before a certificate is issued. A further stipulation, according to Deputy-Reeve Norman Eady, is that the township take a lease on land north of the 20 acre dump site, itself held under lease. Deputy-Reeve Eady said it could be late fall before connecting roads from Hortonʼs Thompson Hill to the new bypass are paved. He said the plans for the old dump site, located on Highway 17 at Mayhew, donʼt call for seeding and sanding although the landfill site will eventually be covered over. Mr. Eady said the ministry called for the dump site to be closed six years ago.

A BUSY BUILDING YEAR: In course of conversation with The Mercury this week Mr. W.P. Allum expressed the opinion that this looked like one of the busiest building seasons he had seen in Renfew. He now has in hand the residence of S.T. Chown and David Humphries, a garage to build for Mr J. McN. Austin, improvements to make on the residence of Mr. Austin, Mrs. Harkness, and Mr. Noble Dean; the carpenter work on Mrs. Grantʼs new house, improvements to make innumerable in the way of new verandas. SOME OF CALABOGIEʼS BIG FISH: In the Jamieson Meat Co.ʼs store last week were displayed a 33 lb. sturgeon, and upon it was a placard that it had been caught by two young gentlemen who had been out of town – Rod Fraser and Tom Costello. Now, while these two men are known to be good fishers with some lines, it is not known that they were particularly expert with the bait that would bring up big sturgeon. So there were doubters. And the doubters had it. The real fisherman was Mr. Ambrose Box, and he caught the prize in his home lake at Calabogie.

June 9 fundraiser in Cobden for Bernadette McCann House Gwen Rutland Bernadette McCann House

Fundraising has become an essential element to many non-profit organizations. Why is fundraising important? Since non-profit groups are by their definition groups that do not wish to profit many people wonder why they must raise money at all. In fact, fundraising is often the only way that non-profits have of gaining the money needed to rent the space and organize the programs needed to fulfill the groupʼs mandate. Although Bernadette McCann House is provincially funded, it is the expectation of the Ministry that the agency fundraise over $45,000 annually. How is this money raised? Bernadette McCann House receives many in-kind and monetary donations from groups, churches, schools, police, business, military, other organizations and individuals that help support this agency and we would like to express our sincere appreciation for the kindness, generosity, and support from the communities we serve. How is this money used? Groups and workshops are available to women throughout the year, and in different locations across Renfrew County. A group for children, called Growing Together, offers support by helping children learn new ways of coping with their feelings and behaviours that

arise in families that have experienced abuse. This group is designed to help children build self esteem, to break the isolation of abuse, and to promote the healing process for children and their parents. Support is offered to women who have left an abusive relationship and wish to establish themselves in the community. Money raised through fundraisers is often used to purchase gift certificates and food vouchers that assist these women and their children through this difficult time. Building on the success of the past two years, Bernadette McCann House is once again hosting their annual fundraiser called Itʼs Time To Rock. This fundraiser has proved to be entertaining and a lot of fun, and so it will once again be held at the Cobden Agricultural Hall on Saturday, June 9 from 8 p.m. to midnight. As well as dancing to the great music of Wing-N-It, a silent auction, door prizes, and a light lunch is offered for your enjoyment. Tickets are just $20 and can be purchased at the door, or by calling 613-732-7776. No single sector is responsible or able to respond to the complexity of abuse and the needs of those who experience abuse. Consequently, a community response is essential. Please support Bernadette McCann House and join us for a great evening of fun for a good cause.

Empidonax flycatchers are difficult to identify

613-623-7834

Its upright posture, white head and tail (adult birds), and large size put the eagle in a class by itself. Their return to this area has increased peoplesʼ interest in birds and birding. If you see one bald eagle you are always on the lookout for another.

of July to build their nest when thistle down is available as a nest lining (what will happen this year is anybodyʼs guess). The breeding season for goldfinches continues until mid-September or until their fall molt begins. When the young of the first brood fledge the male will feed them while the female starts a second brood. If time permits they may have as many as three broods in one season. The majority of goldfinches appear to be year-round residents but there can be marked movements of goldfinch flocks in the spring and fall. It could be related to the amount and quality of the cone crop of spruce, balsam fir and pine.

MATING DISPLAY

NEST OBSERVERS

Last week Ron Huntley mentioned that the male ruby-throated hummingbird began its 20- foot Uʼs. If you have not heard or seen the display, it refers to the mating flight of the male ruby throat. During the flight the bird flies back and forth along a precise path of a wide arc rising on each side from 20 to 40 feet (8 to 16 m). During the flight especially at the bottom of the arc the wings and tail make a loud buzzing sound. The display is made to impress a female who sits on a branch at the bottom of the arc. The display usually occurs near a feeder.

Bird Studies Canada is asking for volunteers to help with the NestWatch Program. Nest observers are to send information as to the species name, nest location and date observed to Bird Studies Canada at bsc@bird.bsc-eoc.org. In 2011 volunteers sent in 2, 500 nest records. In total the program has amassed 380,000 nest records in the Bird Studies Canada database. Such information adds a great deal to understanding our nesting bird in Canada. You can help.

JIM FERGUSON SCENE FROM THE HAWK’S EYE

Ernie Bies saw huge bird fishing on Golden Lake. Closer inspection indicated, with the help of the white head and tail, that the bird was the majestic bald eagle. We see pictures of bald eagles in almost every magazine we pick up but as Ernie said, “It is much more thrilling to see one alive.”` There is no mistaking an adult bald eagle.

You can try to nurture them but it requires a great deal of time and effort. They must be fed (do not give them bread, it swells and chokes them) every 20 to 30 minutes from dawn to dusk. Egg yolk and pabulum moistened with milk is a good substitute for natural food. Good luck if you take the plunge.

Ron and Brenda Golden sent us an email regarding their concern identifying the Empidonax flycatchers. The Empidonax flycatchers are extremely difficult to identify. Their plumage is very similar and they are the same size as a blackcapped chickadee. They are the Acadian, yellow-bellied, least, willow and alder, all have eye rings and wing bars. All nest in our area except the Acadian and it is expanding its territory every year and may already be nesting here. They are identified by habitat and voice. The Acadian is found in deciduous woods and it sings pit-see; the yellow-bellied is found in swamps and bogs and sings chu-wee; the least is found on farms and orchards and sings che-BEK, the willow is found in wet and dry thickets and sings fitz-bew; and the alder is found in swamps and wet thickets and sings fee-bee-o. The least and alder are the easiest to identify by song but still require a good ear for sound. We thank Ron and Brenda Golden for bringing this to our attention.

Conservative MP Gallant leads Canadian-NATO delegation Cheryl Gallant, MP for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke and chair of the Canadian North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Parliamentary Association, was pleased recently to lead the Canadian delegation to the NATO Plenary session in Tallinn, Estonia. “As a forum that brings together European and North American legislators who share membership in a common alliance, the NATO Parliamentary Assembly debates issues of common interest and

concern,� said Gallant. The NATO Parliamentary Assembly was established in 1955 to provide an essential link between NATO and the elected representatives of the NATO Nations. This helps build parliamentary and public consensus in support of Alliance policies. The Canadian NATO Parliamentary Association consists of membership of all political parties represented in the House of Commons. In addition to head of delegation Gallant, MP delegates

included Laurie Hawn, Brent Rathgeber, Christine Moore, Isabelle Morin, Lawrence MacAulay and from the Senate Raynell Andreychuk, Pierre Claude Nolin, Jane Cordy and Joseph Day. “The spring plenary had a very full agenda� said Gallant. “I am pleased to acknowledge the work of Senator Nolin in preparing a special draft report for the NATO Parliamentary Assembly on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (drones). His report is timely

for discussion in Canada now that the mission to Afghanistan is drawing to a close. “As the MP of a riding that includes the largest army base in Canada, CFB Petawawa, I was particularly interested to

hear from democratic representatives from other NATO alliance nations, their viewpoint regarding the NATO Afghanistan mission. Gallant said CanadaĘźs international stature has increased,

thanks in no small part “to our courageous women and men in uniform. “My NATO colleagues let me know how much Canada is appreciated internationally,� she added.

Art in the Park at Haramis Park in Renfrew July 14 and 15 Renfrew Art Guild

We are profiling artists who will be in the Art in the Park July 14 and 15 at Haramis Park in Renfrew. They were asked a number of questions, like how did they get started in their field, what motivates them, and how do they work. Hopefully the following will give you insight to these artists and their work. BASIL PESSIN, DOUGLAS, DIGITAL ARTIST

In 1968 Basil and Helen married in New York City and honeymooned in eastern Canada. They fell in love with this area and decided to buy 100 acres near Eganville. Leaving NYC and coming to Canada was not planned. In 1973, they planned to take a year off from work and travel

around the U.S. But they decided to come to their property and get their act together before going on the trip. To make a long story short, they never went on their trip and never went back to the U.S. Basil and Helen became Canadian citizens in 1975. As Basil says, it was the best thing that ever happened to them. He, as a child, was encouraged in art through family. His father and his friends were artists and through osmosis he became an artist. His real interest is in abstract. His medium is the computer. When asked if what he does to recharge his creative energy he replied, I just wait it out. His work is very colourful and can take you into another space. From small desktop paintings to very large canvasses,

Basilʼs abstracts can dominate any space. He is a member of RAG and the Valley Arts Council. As he says, “I always feel my newest works are the most interesting. They will be at Art in the Park.” From browsing the Internet, to downloading unusual types of music from You Tube Basil is the techy

member of RAG. Basilʼs studio is open during the summer months across from the Bonnechere Caves where you can see his myriad of paintings and enjoy his hospitality. Basil has exhibited extensively. His galleries and exhibits 2003 to 2011, not in chronological order, Atrium Gallery, Ot-

tawa; Centrepointe Theatre Gallery, Ottawa; Expo Art Montreal, Montreal; Ottawa Art Festival, Ottawa; Merrickville Art Festival; City of Ottawa; the Gloucester Gallery; World Fine Art Gallery of New York – NYC; Junction Arts Festival, Toronto; Art on the Farm, Ottawa; Mayorʼs Fine Art Festival,

We little knew that morning, God was going to call your name, In live we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again. Always loved, never forgotten, Carol, Jane, Brenda, Barry and Families CATHCART, MARILYN, In memory of Marilyn Cathcart ( Martin ). July 2, 1947 to June 9, 2010 Our family circle has been broke, A link gone from our chain, But though we’re parted for a while, We know we’ll meet again. Some day we hope to meet you, Some day, we know not when, We shall meet in a better land, And never part again. We shall meet with many a loved one, That was torn from our embrace, We shall listen to their voices, And behold them face to face. Sunshine passes, shadows fall, Love’s remembrance outlasts all. The Martin & Cathcart Families COLLINS, MARY, JUNE 13, 2005

MARGRET,

Those whom we love go out of sight, But never out of mind; They are cherished in the hearts, Of those they left behind. Loving and kind in all her ways, Upright and just in all her days, Sincere and true in heart and mind, Beautiful memories she left behind. A constant wish that she was here; Others were taken, yes I know: But she was mine and I loved her so. Love husband Eddie

YANTHA, ANNIE,

June 8, 1923 to March 17, 2011. The depths of sorrow we cannot tell, Of the loss of one we loved so well. And while she sleeps a peaceful sleep, Her memory we shall always keep. God knew that she was suffering, That the hills were hard to climb, So he closed her weary eyelids, And whispered “Peace be thine.” Away in the beautiful hills of God, By the valley of rest so fair, Some day, we know not when, We will meet our loved one there. Love From All Your Family

MCLAUGHLIN, MEL In loving memory of a dear brother, father and son who passed away on June 10, 1992. Broken is the family circle, Our dear one has passed away, Passed from the earth and earthly darkness, Into bright and perfect day, But we all must cease to languish, Over the grave of him we love, Strive to be prepared to meet him, In the better world above. McLaughlin Family

We think of you Heather, every day, Your smiles and chatter, the words you did say. The walks and the catch-ups, the time that we shared, Busy lives close together, showed just how much we cared. If only we could turn back time, To when our lives were sailing along just fine. Our sisterly chats, our planned places to go, The bike rides, trips, shops and the beach, Where did the sands of time go. We miss you so much Heather, more than words can every say, Our precious memories of you are with us every day.

Sadly missed by your family and good friend Diane. STEVENS, Leonard, In memory of Leonard Stevens who died June 2, 2002. Life is but a stopping place, A pause in what’s to be, A resting place along the road, To sweet eternity. We all have different journeys, Different paths along the way, We all were meant to learn some things, But never meant to stay. Our destination is a place, Far greater than we know, For some the journey’s quicker, For some the journey’s slow. And when the journey finally ends, We’ll claim a great reward, And find an everlasting peace, Together with the Lord. Love forever, From Jeannie, Ron, Peter and their families FRASER, Effie, In memory of a wonderful mother. Sweet memories will linger forever, Time cannot change them, it’s true. Years that may come cannot sever, My loving remembrance of you. From Wayne and Gail

In loving memory of my dear husband “Bob” father, father-in-law, grandfather & great grandpa who left us June 5, 2008

I remember the day I met you, And the day God made you mine, I remember the day God took you. And will till the end of time. We made our vows together, Until death do we part, But the day God took you from me, My whole world fell apart. Sometimes I think I’m dreaming, I can’t believe it’s true, That I can go on living When I no longer have you. And the memories of the happy years, When we we’re together; The joys, the tears, the love, the fears, Will stay with me forever. Forever in our hearts Wife Shirley, Doug & Family, Diane & family, Gary, Dianne & Jeff. CL352456

For the hospice

Staff members of Scotiabank’s Renfrew branch join Janet Robertson, an organizer of the late-March Celebration of Life dance that annually raises funds for health causes in the community. This year’s Celebration of Life event raised $23,000, of which $11,500 went to Hospice Renfrew, including a $5,000 donation from Scotiabank. Another $11,500 went to the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Foundation to be equally shared by the digital mammography fund and the oncology unit. In less than a decade, the dance has raised about $90,000 for community causes. Robertson, centre, is joined, from left, by bank manager Mike Brydges, Lona Logan-Scully, Patti Leclaire and Nancy Rousselle.
