Rally demands minimum wage changes DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com About 50 supporters of parents with special needs kids gathered at Low

They want an amendment to Bill 148 to allow for some people to work for less than minimum wage,

which recently increased to $14. The parents say their kids can't keep up with others in the workforce, but still benefit from a sense of purpose.

TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com Town staff agrees: It is disappointing.

Earlier this year, the Town of Renfrew issued 12,500 surveys on the future of aquatic use, via Canada Post.

Only 772 or six per cent were returned.

"The results are what they are, its factual data received, am I disappointed? Yes, I was hoping for a 40 or 50 per cent return because this is a project that has been spoke about for the last 50 years," said Kevin Hill, recreation director for the town. "We are really doing our part to research the issue, trying to provide a business case that makes sense."

The town conducted a survey with the recreation master plan in 2009 but Hill believes this is the first time the town has done a specific survey on the pool.

"My understanding is this is the first time the town has issued a research document to ask the public the questions on their input on aquatics," said Hill.

The survey results were presented at a Renfrew committee of the whole meeting on May 15.

An update on the tender process for the expansion of a second ice pad at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre was also presented.

The town has pre-qualified

five general contractors for the project. The revised tender schedule is: tender released on May 28, tender closes June 22, tender awarded at a special council meeting on June 26 and the new facility is set to open in the summer of 2019.

Once the tender has been approved for the expansion a fundraising package will be ready to be released to the public. The town has also applied for a Jumpstart grant in the amount of $500,000 and a Farm Credit Canada AgriSpirit Fund for $25,000 and are also looking into funding options from the Enabling Accessibility Fund through Employment and Social Development Canada.

As to the future of the pool, Hill is working through what he calls council's vision and will complete all aspects of the necessary research.

"We are doing the full research project promised by the committee," said Hill.

The next stage of the research project is to approach eight to 10 municipalities with similar demographics to see what works for them from usage, to membership, to revenues/expenses.

Hill notes that the current council is committed to an aquatic project as they have set aside funds in the budget in 2023.

"As recreation director I want to see this research completed,"

said Hill. "I really feel the time from today and 2023 there may be opportunities to look at partnership and users that may make it more affordable for our community."

Survey results: 42 per cent stated they are current participants of the recreation programs at the rec centre or Ma-Te-Way; 40 per cent of respondents stated that they never utilize a pool, 11

per cent said they use a pool more than once a month; 49 per cent said they utilize a pool in Arnprior and 30 per cent said they would never utilize an aquatic centre if the town built it.

Renfrew aquatic survey: 6 per cent turn out

NDP candidate joins leader, fellow candidate in Peterborough On June 2, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke NDP candidate Ethel LaValley met with NDP Leader Andrea Horwath here, along with local NDP candidate Sean Conway.

LaValley went to lend support to Conway, who is no relation to the former Renfrew North MPP and who is in a very tight race in Peterborough-Kawartha, a riding that has historically predicted the winners of Ontario elections repeatedly.

"Only Andrea Horwath and the NDP can stop Doug Ford's cuts and privatization," said LaValley, in the wake of Kathleen Wynne's desperate plea for former Liberal voters to return to the fold.

"Votes for Liberals do not result in a minority they result in a Ford majority," she said.

Andrea Horwath said, "By asking for a minority, Kathleen Wynne is asking to hold onto power. People

NDP candidates Ethel LaValley and Sean Conway march in Peterborough with NDP leader Andrea Horwath in Peterborough June 2. have already said they do not want that."

Ethel LaValley has been excited by the feedback she gets on the campaign trail.

"Something special is happening in Ontario," she said. "Andrea is inviting everyone to be a part of it.

Better health care. More affordability for everyday people. She's saying: join us. Let's get it done. I'm with her."

PCs commit to putting Highway 17 twinning into 5 year plan

Liberal candidate looks ahead to prospect of new government

The Ontario PC party is the only party committed to the continued twinning of Highway 17, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke PC candidate John Yakabuski announced June 4.

"This is in stark contrast to the Liberals who have done little on this file in recent years and the New Democrats who have never shown interest for this vital transportation project," says a press release issued the weekend before the June 7 provincial election.

"I was shocked when the Wynne Liberals did not include the further twinning of Highway 17 in their 2017 fiveyear plan," said Yakabuski. "Since then in the legislature I have called on successive transportation ministers to fast track the next section of divided highway deeper into Renfrew County, only to have the Liberals ignore our local communities time and time again. As for the NDP, I'm not sure they could find Highway 17 on a map, let alone commit to twinning it."

The next portion of twinning is expected to go from Scheel Drive in McNab/Braeside to the Town of Renfrew.

When Doug Ford came to Renfrew County last month, he committed to making the continued twinning of Highway 17 a priority for his government and a commitment to Highway 17 is a key component of the Ontario PC Plan for the People.

Yakabuski said this is why it is so important for people to get out and vote on Thursday: "In this election there is only one leader and one party that understands and respects people in rural Ontario. We need to make sure Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke has a voice at the table in a Doug Ford government so projects like Highway 17 get the attention they deserve," he concluded.

Jackie Agnew, the provincial Liberal candidate in Renfrew-NipissingPembroke, is strongly committed to continuing her fight to become the next MPP for the riding.

Premier Kathleen Wynne released a statement June 2 in which she conceded that it is highly unlikely that she will continue as premier after the June 7 provincial election and she urged voters to consider the Ontario Liberal party as the only party that can hold the new government accountable to the people.

After taking some time to reflect on her decision to run for MPP following Premier Wynne's announcement, Agnew is confident that she is the only person with the skills, dedication and determination to successfully advocate for the needs and values of local voters at Queen's Park.

On doorsteps across the riding, the local Liberal campaign has heard that

voters want a change in government but at the same time, many are afraid of the consequences of either Doug Ford's Conservatives or Andrea Horwath's NDP taking the reins of the provincial government. Only a strong Liberal MPP can help to prevent the formation of a devastating majority government while, at the same time, standing up to either ideologically-driven government and fighting tooth-and-nail for local constituents and their families.

"Minority governments are often the best form of government for Canadians. For example, it was Lester Pearson's minority Liberal government in 1966 that created the universal health-care system that we now have today. I know that the system can, and must, do better because better never stops and I will never stop until the job is done," said Agnew.

ONTARIO PROVINCIAL POLICE Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers in Arnprior are investigating two recent break-ins. On Tuesday, May 22, between 1 and 3:30 p.m. someone entered a home on John Street South in Arnprior. A window was forced open to allow the thief to reach inside and unlock the back door. Once inside, the thief stole jewelry and sterling silver cutlery. Const.

Erin Densmore is investigating.

Between May 18 at noon and May 19 at 9 a.m. an unknown suspect broke into a garage Arthur Street, Arnprior, and stole three Makita hand tools valued at approximately $450. It is not believed the garage was locked as there was no sign of forced entry.

Domestic violence Officers investigated seven domestic disputes during the past week. One male was charged with assault. No other criminal offences were alleged. If you or someone you know is living in or involved in an abusive relationship, help is available. Contact Bernadette McCann House 24-7 for support, advice or the safety of a shelter, at 1-800-267-4930.

Plan moves on to province for review and approval The five-year update to the official plan (amendment 25) was adopted by council at the April session of county council on April 25. The official plan Amendment 25 has been sent to the Province of Ontario for final review and approval. This is the last step in the process of updating the county's official plan (OP).

The adoption of the OP amendment comes after consultation with local municipalities, residents, and local community groups. The county held nine open houses, seven public meetings, and two special county council meetings in late March and early April of this year. The special county council meetings provided the public with an opportunity to address county council and make any final adjustments before the plan was adopted and sent to the province for approval.

Warden of the County of

Renfrew, Jennifer Murphy, shared this, "I wish to thank staff for all their dedication and hard work in compiling this OP while taking into account the input from our residents.

This led to a plan that was flexible in nature, maintained the spirit and balance of Renfrew County values, while also addressing Provincial policies."

An official plan is a policy document that guides the short-term and longterm development of a community and affects all lands within a municipal boundary (with some exceptions, such as federal

Celebration of Life held for former MP Paul Dick TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com A Celebration of Life was held for former Progressive Conservative MP Paul Dick on May 11, taking place at the Britannia Yacht Club in Ottawa.

According to a statement by family, Dick, 77, died of a heart attack at home on May 2.

Dick was first elected to the House of Commons in 1972, representing the former Lanark-Renfrew-Carleton riding. Over the next 21 years, he was re-elected five times, holding various cabinet positions. Ultimately, in the redistributed riding of Lanark-Carleton, Dick was defeated in 1993 by Liberal Ian Murray. This general election saw the Progressive Conservatives reduced to two seats.

Remembered On May 4, former politician and current Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario president and chief executive officer Alex Munter posted the following on Twitter: "Sad to hear about the death of Paul Dick, Kanata's MP as I was growing up. I later worked with him and appreciated his candid, practical and accessible approach. He will be well remembered."

Progressive Conservative MPP for Nepean-Carleton Lisa MacLeod offered her condolences to Dick's family on social me-

dia, and she noted he served with "distinction" for five terms.

Dick died the same day as Leeds-Grenville, Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MP Gord Brown, another long-serving Progressive Conservative. Brown also had a heart attack, succumbing in his Parliament Hill office.

"Eastern Ontario has lost another good one," MacLeod noted.

During a meeting of Lanark County council on May 9, Warden John Fenik called for a moment of silence to honour Dick, with chief administrative officer Kurt Greaves later commenting on the former MP's lengthy career.

"Our condolences to his family," Greaves stated.

He noted the former MP was "well regarded as an intelligent, hard working cabinet minister who loyally served the people of Lanark County from 1972 to 1993."

The Canadian flag was also flown at half-staff at the county building in Perth.

From Kapuskasing, Ont., Dick was a lawyer by profession. After attending Western University, he earned a law degree from the University of New Brunswick. Dick was called to the bar in 1969.

Wife Pierrette Cassista and sons Wyatt and Andrew Dick, along with other family survive him. Many friends and colleagues will remember Dick.

Get cycling Cycling is a fun and healthy activity. Not only is it a low-cost way to get around, it's also good for the environment.

The Ottawa Valley Cycling and Active Transportation Alliance (OVCATA) is an active organization and helpful resource for local cyclists.

The group bills itself a voice for cyclists and all active transportation enthusiasts in the Ottawa Valley, advocating for safety and good conditions, bringing people together and encouraging participation.

The recent news that OVCATA received more than $10,000 from the province to fund a program aimed at seniors is both welcome and encouraging.

The Renfrew County Seniors' Active Transportation project will offer education, encouragement and coaching to seniors across the county, working with existing groups affiliated with the Renfrew County and District Active Aging Network.

Renfrew County is again joining with Mississippi Mills Bike Month and OVCATA to get more people out walking and cycling with the Silver Chain Challenge, which started six years ago as a friendly competition between Renfrew and Lanark counties. Participants compete online to see which county can log the most kilometres biked or walked over the month of June.

Individuals can register and record their daily activity online and the distances get totalled, with adjustment in recognition of population size. From June 1-30, residents can log their kilometres at www.silverchainchallenge.ca.

There are ways you can make the roads safer when it comes to cycling.

Before you head out on a bike, it's vital to learn the rules of the road, helmet information and safety tips for cyclists of all ages.

As a cyclist, you must share the road with others cars, buses, trucks, motorcycles. Under Ontario's Highway Traffic Act, a bicycle is a vehicle, just like a car or truck.

To view the Ontario Guide to Safe Cycling, you can visit the Ontario Ministry of Transportation's website.

The OPP recently issued a reminder about some changes in the law when it comes to cycling.

The one-metre passing law means drivers must leave a minimum of one-metre distance when passing a cyclist. The penalty if convicted is a fine of $110.

When it comes to dooring, the penalty for improper opening of a vehicle door (for driver or passenger), if convicted, is $365.

Under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act, cyclists, motorists and pedestrians have equal rights and access to our roadways, say the OPP. All users have to share the road; share the respect.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • Community Living weighs in on Bill 148 To the editor: Recently there has been a great deal of media coverage on the efforts of some families to have Bill 148 (employment standards legislation) amended to allow for people who have intellectual disabilities to be paid less than employees who do not have a disability. As agencies that have worked toward ensuring that people with disabilities are not segregated or considered "less" in society, we were saddened to see this.

They should be allowed to eat lunch in the same lunchroom, they should be allowed to use the same washrooms and the employment standards of what they are paid should be as applicable to them as someone without a disability.

This is true employment.

To the editor: The provincial election is around the corner but make no mistake - the future of critical local services is very much on the ballot this June 7.

The provincial government dictates and regulates municipal services.

At the same time, municipal governments deliver and help fund key provincial programs, like social housing and child care.

Our fates are deeply intertwined.

Yet, no party has offered a clear plan to support municipal governments. All have made expensive promises. And all have remained silent when asked if municipal property taxpayers will have to pay for them.

For the small and rural communities in Renfrew County, which often serve large geographic areas on a small tax base, this is a critical question. In some communities, a one per cent property tax increase rais-

es less than $50,000. Property taxpayers can barely keep up with inflation and other pressures, let alone afford any more provincial responsibilities. In fact, we need a meaningful plan to help us make ends meet.

Municipal governments collect just nine cents of every household's tax dollar, with the federal and provincial governments collecting the balance. On less than a dime, municipal governments deliver a wide range of critical services.

We also chip in for hospital expansions and equipment. Some small and rural governments pay to help recruit family doctors.

We care about the well-being of our hometowns, but nine cents on the dollar is no prescription for healthy and thriving communities.

Local infrastructure poses yet another challenge. Roads and bridges are the lifeblood of local economies. But the cost of paving just one kilometre of road may be shared by

just five rural households, compared to 25 households in an urban centre. To understand the scale, consider that in Ontario, there are 12,000 local bridges, and enough kilometres of local roads to wrap around the earth nearly eight times.

Furthermore, the province takes a "one-size-fits all" approach to municipal regulation. What works for Kingston or Windsor may not work for Laurentian Hills or Admaston Bromley. Let each community do what is fiscally best for them. Municipal governments know their communities better than those making the rules from Queen's Park. If we could change and eliminate many arbitrary provincial rules, local governments could better control their own costs.

Taxpayers expect governments to work together and respect their money.

We need an approach that considers the impact provincial decisions have on

municipal costs and property tax rates. It is time to stop passing down costs and piling them onto the municipal tax bill.

Local governments need a greater local say in how services are delivered, and a greater local share of tax revenue - a share that matches our responsibilities.

In the absence of an effective partnership with Queen's Park, many municipal councils will face a stark choice: raise property taxes or make deep cuts to municipal services.

The Association of Municipalities of Ontario wants to see each party's plan for municipal government. Tell us, and the people of Ontario, what actions you will take and - what actions you won't.

GRAND ROUNDS RCI students give back

This year’s Chair, Grade 11 student Makenna Moran, got involved because it’s fun to be at the fundraising events and it’s for such a good cause. She is proud to see the ‘RCI Resource Room’ plaque on the wall of the hospital’s main corridor.

“Patients will know the room is from all the hard work we did. It really makes a difference for a lot of people,” says Makenna, adding that in a small community everyone knows someone who has been affected by the disease.

RCI has reached the 80% mark of a five-year, $25,000-commitment.

Partnering with RVH during the largest expansion and redevelopment in its history, it was an easy decision for a number of reasons says Micheal Wright, RCI Teacher.

“We can see the results of our support locally, we are helping people in our community.”

He also notes the number former RCI students employed

by RVH. “There are a lot of RCI alumni at RVH so it’s a good fit and the school is giving back.”

RCI Relay for Life / Bonnie Kerr Cure for Cancer Carnival Chair Makenna Moran and committee member Lauryn McCauley check out one of the many activities at the 17th annual carnival held at Ma-te-way Activity Centre on May 11.

For more information, contact the Foundation at 613-432-4851 ext. 263

Anyone at any age has the power to give back; to have a positive impact. Renfrew Collegiate Institute (RCI) students are no different.

They are not only dedicated to learning, but also to ensuring others have access to education. Newly diagnosed cancer patients have a dedicated space to source answers to their questions thanks to RCI students.

“The RCI Resource Room has proven to be invaluable for our patients. The Smart Board is used regularly for chemotherapy teaching sessions and specialist appointments. In addition, the space allows for privacy during hat and wig selection and houses quilts made for patients by dedicated community volunteers. We are very fortunate to benefit from RCI’s dedicated fundraising and commitment,” comments Rhonda Normandeau, Clinical Manager of RVH Oncology Unit.

The high school hosts a series of events annually in support of RVH and Relay for Life including a pancake breakfast, an awareness day, and the Bonnie Kerr Memorial Carnival.

Thanks for Hike for Hospice Renfrew support To the editor: The 11th annual Hike for Hospice Renfrew was held on Sunday, May 6, led by the McVeigh-Sharpe family, hiking in gratitude and memory of their mother, Leigh McVeigh-Sharpe, who passed away at Hospice Renfrew in 2017. This year we had a beautiful spring day to celebrate Hospice Renfrew in our community with over 1,000 people attending our event.

This in itself is truly amazing! People and teams of all ages and sizes came out to support Hospice Renfrew, raising over $135,000.

Once again, the theme "it takes a team" was embraced with many hiking in memory of a loved one who had received care at Hospice Renfrew. We were very excited to see many new teams becoming am-

bassadors for the hospice, coming out simply to support our organization.

We are thankful to our many volunteers and staff who were involved from the early planning stages that started in January and continued on until our recent hike wrap up meeting.

This included attending meetings, promoting the event, conducting presentations in local schools to increase awareness of Hospice Renfrew, working the day of the event to ensure it ran smoothly, which even included baking over 1,000 cookies for the hikers!

Special acknowledgement and gratitude goes to the following groups and businesses that helped our hike be such a tremendous success: MyFM (Renfrew and Arnprior) for their sponsorship and Valleywide media promotion and to Jamie Cybulski, MyFM morning show host, hike committee member, on-air

promoter, trivia night kickoff event co-ordinator and MC of our hike. As usual, Jamie worked tirelessly on and off air for months helping to ensure the success of our event.

RBC Renfrew team for their sponsorship and for collecting and processing donations prior to and during the hike.

Town of Renfrew, under the leadership of Mayor Don Eady, for the use of the Mateway Activity Center and to the Mateway staff for assisting with the planning and setting up of the arena.

CFB Petawawa Field Base Hospital for once again providing medical attention and entertainment for children and their special stuffed animals in the MASH tent.

Face painting team of Lindsay Crout, Madeline O'Neill and Leah Trainor for their artistic skills and time spent decorating children's faces.

Renfrew OPP auxiliary team, Renfrew fire department and Renfrew County paramedics who worked hard to ensure the safety and enjoyment of our participants.

Don Carty and the Tim Hortons special events team who provided free hot beverages.

Al Utronki TV and Appliances who once again donated a 48-inch LED TV. This year the TV winner was Jana Pilon.

M Sullivan & Son for setting up and manning the water station at the halfway mark.

Local schools, including St. Thomas Apostle, who held Hoops for Hospice to raise money for the hike; Central Public and Admaston public schools for holding their own hikes in support of Hospice Renfrew; and our two local high schools, St. Joseph Catholic High and Renfrew Collegiate Institute, for entering teams and raising money

for the hospice.

Every dollar raised remains in our community and supports daily operational costs which allows us to continue offering programs and services completely free of charge to the residents and families of Renfrew County. We are most humble and grateful to our community for its ongoing support.

Hospice Renfrew

Money is not the issue here. What matters to the individual is a better quality of life and the resulting improvement in self-esteem, not to mention the much needed respite time for parents and siblings.

It was a scorcher of a day but there were no fires to be put out, this time.

But man's best friend is sure to give the project two paws up!

On May 30, 10 Renfrew firefighters volunteered their time to build a new gazebo at the Renfrew Dog Park at the Ma-Te-Way Park.

This is not the first time the firefighters have volunteered their time to give back to the community. They have also built the splash pad gazebo, temporary tourist booth and a park gazebo to name a few.

According to town staff the materials for the shelter were purchased by the Town of Renfrew, however it was from money

raised through Bark in the Park events over the past few years where people gave donations at the events for park improvements.

The new structure is just in time for the 2018 edition of Bark in the Park, which is set for Friday, June 8 at the Dog Park (1 Ma-TeWay Dr. in Renfrew) from 4 to 8 p.m.

Bark in the Park is billed as an opportunity for dogs, pet owners and pet lovers to meet at the park for socialization and fun. There will be related vendors and a barbecue on site. Valley Animal Rescue will also have an information table set up.

It was quite the winning note.

Opeongo High School (OHS) brought home not one but two medals from the MusicFest national competition in Toronto from May 15 to 17.

The concert band won a silver medal and the JazzCats Choir won a bronze.

This is quite the accomplishment for the students, according to director Jodie Armstrong, as OHS only has 340 students, 50 of which perform in the band and choir. Some of the other schools in MusicFest had over 1,000 students and some were private art schools.

"The judges were very impressed with such as small school having such a big program," said Armstrong on the band, which has 40 members and the choir has 38.

The competition was held on May 16 and it was a very busy day for the stu-

dents.

The concert band performed at 8 a.m. so they had to leave the hotel at 5:30 a.m. and the choir competed at 10:30 a.m.

"We had to run all the way across campus for the Jazzcats to be ready," said Armstrong, who has been back in the music department for the last four years, during which time the band has earned a gold, two silvers and a bronze, while the choir has earned three bronze at the same competition.

They performed three songs in front of four adjudicators and then attended a workshop.

According to Armstrong, the judges told them afterwards the choir could have had a silver if they had known their circumstances.

"They really rose to the occasion," said Armstrong.

She says it was a very rewarding experience for all involved.

"I am very proud that a music program of this quality can come from this school. It is one of the best music programs in the county."

Additionally, the concert band received a silver plus so they have automatically been invited back to the competition, which will be held in Ottawa next

year.

She says they are unsure if they will compete in 2019 or take a year off to fundraise for another competition.

Art Jamieson is Renfrew Citizen of the Year

10 businesses, individuals honoured at awards gala SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com The upstairs hall at the MaTe-Way Activity Centre was transformed into a French bistro May 31 for the Renfrew and Area Chamber of Commerce Community Awards Celebration.

Ten awards were handed out at the Evening in Paris themed event, which is an annual opportunity to recognize Renfrew and area's best and brightest individuals and businesses.

Citizen of the Year Art Jamieson welcomed fellow nominees Ella Box and Mike Wright to share the stage and praised the efforts of all volunteers.

"There are thousands of thousands of other volunteers that I'm hopefully representing," he said.

"Nobody ever does it to win any type of an award, you just enjoy doing it."

Jamieson has been a very active member in Renfrew and surrounding communities for many years. A teacher for 36 years, he has been involved in raising awareness for and promoting many non-profit community services.

He has assisted with fundraising for Sunshine Coach, acting as annual guest host for the Reach for the Rainbow Telethon and then the all-day anchor host for the radiothon.

He has been a Hospice Ambassador the last few years, dedicating his time and talent to promote the Holly Jolly Radiothon at Christmastime.

He is also involved in fund-

raising in the Douglas St. Patrick's Day festivities, which generates funds to support the Renfrew Victoria Hospital and The Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

Young Person of the Year is former Miss Teen Ontario East Kathleen Barr.

She congratulated her fellow nominees.

"Please keep up the good work because you are truly making a difference in your community," she said.

The award for Outstanding Business Achievement Award went to Renfrew Pizzeria. Don and Julie Rodgers have a long history of supporting various causes in the community.

"Being nominated means people have recognized the good that we have done in our community and for us personally it's important to do good stuff in our community and help out wherever we can," said Don. Community Champion of the Year honours went to Home Hardware Building Centre. Owners Steve and Karen Maxwell are quick to support a number of initiatives and get involved in community projects and events.

"Being part of the community is being involved in the community, one way or the other," said Steve. "I think it's important for people that have businesses in the community to give back what they take out."

This year's New Business Award winner is Batstone's Northern Ramble. Owner Dean Batstone purchased the 130-yearold former Baptist Church at Railway Avenue and Plaunt Street and turned it into a unique music venue.

He thanked town officials for their support as well as a number of individuals who have boosted his efforts.

Renfrew and Area Citizen of the Year Art Jamieson, centre, joins fellow nominees Mike Wright and Ella Box. "Thanks to everybody in Renfrew that's welcomed me, to the other people who were nominated," said Batstone. "I think Renfrew really does welcome new business and I'm happy and proud to be one of those businesses."

Downtown Renfrew Business Improvement Area member of the year is Korner Hutch, which closed its doors in the recent past. Owner Bob Flynn appeared in a video message.

"For us to get the nomination, we're proud every year," said Flynn. "This year it's an extra special thing because the store closed. It means a lot."

The President's Award was picked up by Renfrew Freemasons Lodge No. 122, which last

year celebrated 150 years in town.

Anniversary activities included numerous community contributions as well as a large celebration featuring a parade.

Jason Verbruggen thanked the community and the chamber and said the award means a lot to the members.

Chamber Member of the Year is Dave Lemkay, who recently retired from the Renfrew Industrial Commission (RIC).

"Every so often someone comes along whose knowledge, dedication and experience is immeasurable," said chamber president Amy Rule. An eight-year member of the chamber, Lemkay had a wonderful career in the forestry industry, was instrumental in his role with the RIC and ran a

communications business.

The Industry Award went to E.T.M Industries. President John Robertson accepted the award and said Renfrew is a great location in which to operate.

"We've got a great workforce, without these people we wouldn't be where we are today," he said.

Agri-Business of the Year is Enright Farms. Sean and Kathryn Enright accepted the award, giving a nod to his parents who started the cattle and cash-crop operation and were also in attendance.

"It's an honour and privilege to be recognized," said Sean, noting there are many successful and deserving agribusinesses in the area. "When you love what you do, it's not work."

Eganville volunteer recognized by province TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com Each seed she sows by volunteering, Judy Sauve? has helped her community grow and flourish.

The Eganville volunteer was recently honoured with the June Callwood Outstanding Achievement Award for Voluntarism, one of only 12 recipients in the province of Ontario.

The award, which is handed out by the provincial government, is described in a press release: to recognize dedicated individuals and organizations who, like the late June Callwood, demonstrate exceptional leadership, creativity and innovation in their service to their communities and others.

Callwood was a journalist, author and Order of Ontario appointee, who according to the release was one of Canada's most wellknown social activists, founding or co-founding more than 50 Canadian social action organizations.

Sauve? has volunteered in numerous roles in the community including serving as the president of the Eganville and Area Horticultural Society for seven years, which saw the

membership double. She is currently on the board of directors and was heavily involved in marking the society's 60th anniversary, Eganville's 125th anniversary and Canada 150. At Bonnechere Union Public Library she has served on the Friends of the Library board and started the Seniors' Outreach program there.

She established the Eganville Farmers' Market and co-managed it with her husband for several years and now acts as an adviser.

She also volunteers with the McRae Lookout Park committee and Seedy Sunday.

She was shocked when she first found out she had won the award, her husband Cam had kept the nomination a secret and when the email came in announcing she won they went out to celebrate.

"I wondered if I really had done enough to warrant an award like that.

Now I feel so honoured ...

He knew from the beginning and had helped identify people who could provide supporting letters from the various organizations I had helped," she explained via email. "(He) suggested that I open my

email. I couldn't believe it at first so it's a good thing he was there to explain. I still get emotional thinking about that moment."

While at the award ceremony in Toronto she was informed there were 114 nomination submissions and only 12 individuals received the award and four organizations.

"Then I truly was shocked and very humbled. It's a credit also to Nelda Markham who spearheaded this submission and obviously did an excellent job," said Sauve?.

As to why she volunteers so much.

"I do volunteer work because it makes me feel good to help out. I certainly now feel appreciated. I've had cards, emails, Facebook messages, congratulatory chats around the village and they have all been so happy for me," said Sauve?.

"People who know me also know that Cam has been a big help with all that I do, and tolerant of all the time I'm away from home. He's always in the background helping with so much - the list is huge. So part of this award, which features two people lifting up their arms, is for him and his support."

The tradition of excellence at Renfrew Collegiate Institute and Renfrew Collegiate Intermediate School continued Tuesday, May 8 at the annual open house. Approximately 200 people, plus teachers and current students, attended this event, which celebrates the many programs and activities offered at these institutions.

Many Renfrew Collegiate Institute (RCI) and Renfrew Collegiate Intermediate School (RCIS) students displayed their extracurricular activity or club by sharing information, involvement, and speaking with future students.

The hallways of the school were adorned with displays, pictures, and interactive activities exemplifying many of the schools' programs.

The evening began with a general assembly in the Grant gym with addresses by Camilo Sebastian and Brett Clouthier, student presidents, and two students from Grade 8, who shared "What it means to me to be an RCIS student".

Shantica Kaseke spoke in English and Sam Buxton in French.

A slide show featuring student participation was shown. Graduating student, Elizabeth Scott also addressed the audience, in both languages, sharing her journey as a Raider.

All Grade 6 students received a Raiders T-shirt as well as dinner with their families. Once again parent council organized a barbecue and the weather allowed visitors to enjoy supper in front of the school. An informative and enjoyable evening was had by all. Thank you to everyone who helped make this evening a success.

TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com The weather outside did not dampen the spirits of everyone at the 12th annual Renfrew Collegiate Institute Relay for Life on Friday, May 25 at the MaTe-Way Activity Centre.

The annual event raised more than $60,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society, bringing the total raised by Renfrew Collegiate Institute (RCI) to $965,500.

"This community continues to shock and surprise me," said RCI teacher Michael Wright on the support the relay has received over the years. "From the people who started with it to the new people involved, everyone is just amazing and the kids all do such a great job organizing it."

The evening is always an emotional event, especially before the Survivor Lap.

"We are extremely grateful and thankful for all of you coming out and raising money and attending our relay," said Makenna Moran, to the large crowd just before the start of the lap.

"Relay is a time to celebrate, remember and fight back," added Sydney Smith. "We believe that cancer can be beaten and we are all here to fundraise and commit to making cancer history."

Renfrew Mayor Don Eady, who is also a cancer survivor, thanked RCI for hosting an amazing event.

"For the Town of Renfrew this is a big deal," said Eady. "I've been a cancer survivor for five years and this is all worthwhile when you look out and see all of the cancer survivors."

Local cancer survivors gather together before the Relay for Life on Friday, May 25 at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. Local radio personality Chris Kyte was able to raise more than $2,000 the night of the relay, including a $2,000 donation from Domino's Pizza if both Elizabeth and Michael Wright would get on the electronic bull. Grace Reid, Renfrew Mayor Don Eady, Sydney Smith and Michael Wright plant a new addition to the Garden of Hope, which is in the shape of a ribbon, outside the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

On May 25 only a few Ladies from Dragonfly's Friday Stroke Play League managed to get in their round before the rains came and washed out our day. Saturday and Sunday were yet more examples of why you should never trust the weatherman, because despite a forecast for rain and storms both days the weather was near perfect, and we are grateful that quite a few golfers came out for a game anyways. It helps that Dragonfly has the best rain policy in the business - where even if a golfer gets rained on for just one hole out of 18, they would be entitled to a 18 hole rain check.

One group of golfers that played on Sunday were our Dragonfly members who were competing in our first member fun day. This fun day also serves as a qualifier for our Dragonfly Intersectional teams, and our Valley Masters Team.

Closest to the pin winners were Tamara Adams, Garry Gourley, Justin Riopelle (who was also low score on the day) and Rob White.

Our Monday Men's League was won by

Enright Tree Services, who pruned the XMen by half a stroke (net score). Closest to the Pin winners were Denis Saumure on No. 5, and Fred Forrester on No. 7. There was nothing tragic about the A flight winners' round on Tuesday Men's League, with the Tragically Chipped winning for the third week in a row. Coincidentally, it was the Dragonslayers who won B Flight for the third week in a row. Martin Haaima was closest to the pin on No. 5, and Karl Mann was closest on No. 7. Speaking of multiple winners ... A flight in the Wednesday League was won by the Abandoned Cubs, and the team from Valley Ventilations won B flight. Closest to the pin winners were Bob Briscoe on No. 5, and Braeden Cameron on No. 7.

Thursday Ladies League played its first week where all teams had an established handicap. Team Tee'd Off were pretty happy about winning A Flight. Seriously?! Not even cracking a smile winning B flight, the Horton Hackers lived up to their reputation winning C flight. Closest to the pin winners were Tracy MacKenzie on No. 7, and Bri Bingham on No. 18. Congrats to all this week's winners!

OVCATA members from all over the County met in Cobden for a ride and to announce the Renfrew County Seniors Active Transportation on May 17, 2018.

OVCATA promotes active transportation for seniors The Ottawa Valley Cycling and Active Transportation Alliance (OVCATA) will be encouraging Renfrew County seniors to get out cycling and walking, with help from Ontario's Ministry of Seniors Affairs.

OVCATA is receiving $10,300 from the ministry to fund the project Renfrew County Seniors' Active Transportation.

The project will offer education, encouragement and coaching to seniors across the county by working with existing seniors' groups affiliated with the Renfrew County and District Active Aging Network (RCDAAN).

"In particular, we want to focus on perceived barriers to participation," said the project's co-ordinator, Kathy Eisner. "We'll be holding education sessions indoors and group walking and cycling events outdoors. Experienced facilitators from OVCATA and RCDAAN will teach and encourage safe participation at events across the county.

Through these organized activities, seniors will gain the knowledge and experience to continue safe cycling and walking individually or in groups."

This project will promote cycling and walking as social and enjoyable ways to be active throughout the senior years. It will engage seniors in discus-

sion about perceived barriers to participation in walking and cycling, looking at what keeps them from these activities and what seniors need to overcome these obstacles.

Under the program, OVCATA will hold or participate in approximately 30 events in communities throughout Renfrew County in May and June that will give seniors opportunities to participate in group walking and cycling activities. At each event, information about healthful and safe participation will be presented. There will also be an opportunity to socialize over refreshments and to provide feedback to the organizers.

"Through these organized activities seniors will gain the knowledge and experience needed to continue safe cycling and walking individually or in groups," said Ms. Eisner. "And we expect to have a lot of fun!"

Seniors will be encouraged to join with all local residents in tracking their walking or cycling during the month of June through the Silver Chain Challenge, the annual competition between Renfrew County and Lanark County - www.silverchainchallenge.ca.

All participants will be invited to participate in community rides organized by OVCATA or in which OVCATA is a part-

ner, as well as the sessions tailored to seniors that will be offered through local seniors' groups.

In addition, a report on senior participation in Active Transportation based on participation data collected, identified perceived barriers and feedback from seniors will be prepared and made available to municipal and county councils.

OVCATA's members hope the project will promote age-friendly community development by giving seniors opportunities to present ideas for improving cycling/walking infrastructure in their communities. These ideas will be included in the report available to the municipalities and county.

They want to keep the activities focused on the safety and well-being of seniors. "Promoting activities that can be carried on with little or no equipment through the senior years will provide long-term benefits in terms of health and well-being," said OVCATA co-chair Pat Krose. "We also hope the project will help break the isolation found among rural seniors through the social inclusion found through these accessible group activities."

More than 300 seniors are expected to participate in events with the project.

RENFREW KICK-STARTS RECREATION AND PARKS MONTH

ROB WARREN In last week's Renfrew ladies basketball semifinal action, Renfrew Eye Clinic was unusually off with its shooting early and fell behind the Reunions 24-14.

The Reunions couldn't hold the lead and were passed at 34-33. Great shooting by both teams left them tied at 39 at the buzzer.

The Reunions had a throw-in with 1.3 seconds left in overtime and the score tied at 41. Barb Stewart received the pass and got off a quick shot to advance to the finals 43-41.

Mae Donohue paced the attack with 20 points.

Midtown Flooring came out of the blocks on fire and scored 15 points before the Basket Brawlers could hit the score sheet. They rode this cushion to a 46-33 victory. Jill Barr hit for 19 points.

Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre was the hub of celebrations kick-starting recreation and parks month.

Jessica Forgie follows the leader during the outside dance routine.

Clarissa-Lyn and her mother Amanda Warren enjoy smoothies at Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre on June 2.

Events slated for the day included a bike rodeo, firefighter obstacle course and yoga.

Sand Point Hospice Renfrew volunteer recognized Public cemetery

by Hospice Palliative Care Ontario

MAUREEN SULLIVAN-BENTZ Executive director Hospice Renfrew Every year at this time, Hospice Renfrew is asked to submit a nominee for the Ontario Outstanding Volunteer June Callwood Award, handed out through Hospice Palliative Care Ontario. It is never easy to single out one volunteer.

This year, Pat Debenham has been nominated for her 'above and beyond' volunteerism at the hospice. Debenham received her award at the 2018 Hospice Palliative Care Ontario Conference in Toronto in April.

This award is given to an individual who consistently extends themselves beyond the usual requirements of the volunteer role.

"I want to see hospice succeed and be part of that success," said Debenham, who joined Hospice Renfrew in 2008.

As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, we know that Deben-

ham's commitment, care and compassion has helped us to succeed. Not only does Debenham volunteer on the front lines to support residents and families, she also is a member of our reception team and works tirelessly in our community as a hospice ambassador.

Debenham has made a positive difference in our community to educate and promote hospice care at numerous events. Whether leading a hospice parade float in chilling temperatures, selling tickets, feeding an army of card players to help us fundraise or dancing with schoolchildren to promote our Hike for Hospice, she gives it her all and inspires our team to reach a little higher!

Hospice Renfrew is a six-bed facility that serves all of Renfrew County with all programs and services free of charge.

May 5, regular members of a cleanup contingent in Calabogie turned out with garbage bags in hand to clear road verges of the usual amount of detritus thrown from two years worth of traffic. The group cleaned up both sides of the Calabogie Road as it passes Calabogie Peaks. "This time it only took about an hour and we collected 12 bags of garbage," said volunteer Hugh Bacon. "Most of it consisted of plastic water bottles, beer and pop cans but only one abandoned bag of garbage that never made it to the dump." There seemed to be less litter than past years, a positive sign, noted Bacon.

Tender packages are available for pickup at 80 McGonigal Street West, Suite 101, Arnprior, Ontario. Electronic copies can be requested at arathwell@countyofrenfrew.on.ca

They were at it again. I hadn't heard them for months, but with the warm nights, the whip-poorwills were back, sending chills up my spine, as their mournful cry pierced the night air, and echoed through our old log house.

The bedroom windows were wide open to let in as much cool air as possible, and that only heightened the noise they made.

My brother Emerson tried to raise my fear by telling me the birds were the messengers of ghosts of those relatives long passed away, but my sister Audrey said that was pure nonsense.

"They're only birds," she said.

They were the only birds that frightened me, and goodness knows we had birds of every description on the farm. The small songbirds filled me with delight, and I often sat in the old wood swing and listened to them and watched them as they flitted about the grape arbour, many building nests to raise their young.

Some were what Father called "just a pain in the neck." He was referring to the hundreds of pigeons that took refuge in our barns, or sat on the peak roof. "No good for nothing," he would say, sometimes even resorting to taking the shotgun trying to cut down their numbers, or at least

scare them away. But it mattered not ... back the pigeons would come.

And were they messy! Dad was sure they were going to ruin the barn roof, but even the livestock in or outside couldn't stop the hoards of pigeons that formed a long line on the very top edge of our barn.

Crows were another concern, especially for Mother. It didn't matter how many scarecrows she put in her vegetable garden, the crows seemed to take special delight in sitting on the outstretched arms made of a branch, while munching on her sprouting beans, tomatoes or anything else that was popping through the ground.

No one knew how he did it, but my brother Emerson managed to tame a crow, and he would stand out in the backyard with a few grains of corn in his outstretched hand, and that crow would land on his arm, and peck away. I thought the crow was just about the ugliest bird on the farm.

It was never proven, although my sister Audrey said she wouldn't put it past him, but we think it was Emerson who taught that crow how to pull the clothes pins off the clothesline just after Mother had hung out the wash.

Often it was my job to stand watch, waving the broom whenever I saw the bird circling the clothesline awaiting his chance.

Of course, I couldn't stand there forever, and as soon as my back was turned, there would be an assortment of Mother's clean wash on the ground. Father put a stop to that with the shotgun.

It was the robins which gave me special delight. Early in the summer, many would build nests

Murray W. Simpson, a Second World War veteran and a 33-year member of the Cobden and District Legion, Branch 550, passed away at his home, June 18, 2016, in his 92nd year. In his generosity, he bequeathed a sum of money to his Legion. After considerable thought by the Legion, the windows in the upstairs Banquet Hall were replaced, largely made possible by his generous gift. Murray's daughter, Joan Wasmund, thought that her father, being a practical man, would have been pleased with how his bequest was used. Murray's service, generosity and comradeship will not be forgotten. Pictured is Legion 550 President Kent Mc Laughlin presenting the plaque to Wasmund. The plaque will be placed prominently on a wall in the room to remind us of his generosity.

in the assortment of trees that circled the house, and I would cautiously watch to see the blue eggs arrive, being careful not to go too close, because Father said that would make the robins abandon their nests, and the eggs wouldn't hatch.

I anxiously waited, standing well back until I saw the tiny birds, mouths wide open, and I felt it my duty to make sure any of our barn cats stayed well away from the trees where the nests were.

My youngest brother Earl knew the name of every bird, having brought a bird book home from the Renfrew library, but I could only name a few.

I had no desire to see the dreaded whip-poor-wills. I was pretty sure they would be ugly, and jet black which is the colour I always associated with evil. And nothing could stamp out their mournful cries at night.

Even putting the pillow over my head, or trying to fall asleep with a finger in each ear didn't work. The only comfort I got was when I could scrunch up as close as I could to Audrey's back, knowing she would protect me if one managed to get into the house, which my brother Emerson said was bound to happen. It would just be a matter of time.

The petals of Pin Cherry flowers are popular food for Blister Beetles.

Flowers get blisters too Michael Runtz looks at blister beetles MICHAEL RUNTZ Column including a common one that is now visiting flowers.

But the beetles are coming not to dine on the edible offerings of the flowers but to eat the flowers themselves.

Recently I watched about a dozen of these beetles eating the flowers of young pin cherries. After devouring parts of the petals and stamens of one flower, they would fly over to another bloom on the same plant. Most beetles have two pairs of wings, the top pair usually modified into hard covers that protect the softer bottom pair hidden beneath. It is the hidden, soft pair that provides the beetles with the power of flight.

In addition to owning a most unusual defence, blister beetles also display an amazing way of attaining food in their larval stage.

After hatching from an egg, a blister beetle larva (known as a triungulin) sits on a flower waiting for a bumble or solitary bee to land. When one does, it grabs onto its leg and hitchhikes a ride back to the bee's underground home.

Some of the most interesting shows put on by nature are now taking place on local flowers. Whether they're owned by wildflowers growing at ground level or trees high above, most flowers are alive with insect activity. Some of the visitors such as butterflies are coming to drink sweet nectar while others including bumblebees are coming to load up with pollen to be carried off to an underground nest. But there are also visitors that have no interest in the edible bribes, offerings designed to trick insects into fulfilling the flowers' pollination needs. Some of those visitors are beetles that belong to the blister beetle family.

Blister beetles are beetles named for a most unusual defence. In certain species, when under attack, liquids are exuded from the beetle's leg joints.

Those potent chemicals contain cantharidin and this can cause blisters when skin makes contact with it. Oddly, only the males produce this nasty chemical; the females acquire it during copulation.

Blister beetles are oddlooking insects, many possessing a long, heavy body that looks soft to the touch.

Some species are blue-grey,

"Hitchhiking" by insects is known as phoresy. Once in the bee's den, the phoretic triungulin dismounts and after finding the bee's larva, it eats it. When the "appetizer" (a wonderful descriptive used by Steve Marshall from Guelph University) is gone, the beetle larva then devours the main course: the store of nectar and pollen placed for the bee's young to dine on.

Blister beetles have played a rather unusual role in our culture. An aphrodisiac called "Spanish Fly" was made from certain species of that beetle group.

The beetles were ground up to make the infamous drug, which was first used by the Romans during their orgies. However, in case you were thinking about spicing up your life a bit with the aid of those insects, that aphrodisiac was made from blister beetles found in Spain.

If you tried the wrong species you might just end up with an embarrassing blister!

Art guild hosts ceramic tile painter CHRIS MUSSETT

4768 CALABOGIE ROAD

1 PALLEN RD., HORTON TWP

Lis Allison of Pine Ridge Studio in Kinburn is the next guest at the Renfrew Art Guild meeting.

www.sherricobusrealestate.ca

Tuesday, June 12 will be our last general meeting before the summer break and Art in the Park on Saturday, July 14. We have had five wonderful guest speakers so far in 2018, and with each a participatory demonstration of a painting method, artwork photography, assembled metal sculpture or wood carving.

Members of the public have enjoyed all of these activities.

Our June meeting will feature Lis Allison of Pine Ridge Studio in Kinburn. Lis will be showing us the variety of tableware which she produces and talking briefly about the ceramic process. The majority of the presentation will involve a hands on workshop on painting ceramic tiles.

I visited Lis in her studio in the forest and became acutely aware of the beautiful possibilities of these delicate images on hand rolled and kiln fired tiles that she has produced for the workshop. Unlike the squared identical tiles used in home renovations of kitchens or bathrooms, each of these tiles is unique and has naturally occurring soft edges.

A table of palettes, brushes and varied colours will provide the starting point of this guided painting exercise, and there will be lots of her examples to work from for those needing some ideas. The work will later be fired at Pine Ridge and returned for pick up at Art in the Park. You can read more about Lis in the biography on our page, www.renfrewartguild.com.

Don't forget that Art in the Park is just one day this year, on Saturday, July 14, and we will be at Haramis Park at the caboose once again this year. There is still time to add your name to the growing list of over 35 booths exhibiting this year. Come and visit us before you head on over to the Bluegrass Festival at Ma Te Way Park!

We hope to see you on June 12 at Trinity St. Andrews. Please use the Quarry Avenue entrance.

Chris Mussett is a member of the Renfrew Art Guild.
