ELUSIVE ACE OF SPADES LUCKY FOR DOUGLAS MAN, HOSPITAL JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com A Douglas family is celebrating after winning the wildly popular Deep River and District Hospital Foundation's "Catch the Ace" draw Feb. 21. Mark McEachen was the lucky winner of $574,002.50 in the progressive lottery that made it to week 50 before the ace of spades was drawn. McEachen, his wife Channa and three children live in the Douglas area The foundation, which raised about $780,000 for the Deep River and District Hospital, announced Thursday evening on its Facebook page that the ace of spades was
drawn at 8 p.m. The foundation had set a goal of $20,000 for the draw. It reported McEachen bought the lucky ticket at the lottery's headquarters in the Bear's Den Lounge and Motel in Deep River on the day of the draw. He won both the jackpot and the daily prize. There were only three cards left when the draw, which began almost a year ago, came up with the ace of spades. As the jackpot grew, so did the interest, with people visiting the Pembroke-Deep River area from all over eastern Ontario and Quebec to buy tickets. The money raised will go toward buying replacement X-ray and imaging equipment for the hospital.

HUGHES CHAIRS NEW-LOOK RENFREW BIA BOARD JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com The Renfrew Downtown Business Improvement Association has four new directors and a budget that includes the first $10,000 in beautification instalments to be repaid to the town. In their first session since the annual meeting, the directors appointed Jean Hughes chair and Lorraine Vincent vice chair Feb. 20. Hughes replaces longtime chair Lisa Vincent, who stepped down in November, along with vice chair Mellissa Meszarics. Lisa Vincent, Meszarics, Chris-
tina Ouellett, Tracy Keller, and Ro Nwosu, who acted as interim chair for almost three months, decided against returning as business improvement association (BIA) directors. Added to the board for 2019 at the annual meeting Feb. 6 were newcomers Kevin Cherry of Edward Jones, Bob Dillabough of MyFM and Jill Blimkie of TD Canada Trust.

RENFREW BIA ANXIOUS TO SHIFT FROM RECONSTRUCTION PAIN TO GAIN JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com Now that the reconstruction of Renfrew's main street is complete, it's time for downtown businesses to reap the benefits. That was the feeling as the Renfrew Downtown Business Improvement Association (BIA) exuded a renewed sense of optimism at its annual meeting. "It was a challenging year with some fear and apprehension," said BIA treasurer Mel Blimkie. "But the street is looking great ... and should provide some unbelievable opportunities." "I can see nothing but good ahead," Mayor Don Eady told the meeting. "I can hardly wait for next summer. Hopefully this will be one of our best ever." At the annual general meeting (AGM) Feb. 6 at the Raglan Street Lounge in the Santa Fe restaurant, BIA officials introduced a post-construction strategic plan on how businesses can take ad-
vantage of those opportunities. The plan for 2019-23 features a number of initiatives aimed at profiting from the new-look downtown and ongoing beautification efforts to which the BIA has committed $150,000 over the next 15 years. Among the plan's priorities are to follow up on the streetscape improvements by tackling the problem of rundown buildings and vacant properties downtown. Eady urged BIA members to take advantage of the town's Community Improvement Program, which has made $20,000 available annually for enhancing storefronts. The BIA's 2019 priorities include encouraging proper bylaw enforcement to deal with ongoing parking, signage and vacant building issues. It also plans to work with the town's economic development committee to attract more businesses to the downtown and help current ones expand. Another of the BIA's priorities is to review past pro-
THE ISSUE: TAKING ADVANTAGE OF RENFREW'S DOWNTOWN RECONSTRUCTION LOCAL IMPACT: RENFREW BIA PLANS STRATEGIES TO BENEFIT FROM THE NEW-LOOK DOWNTOWN John Carter/Metroland Renfrew development and works director Mike Asselin updates BIA members on last year's main street reconstructuion project and this year's follow-up work. motions and focus on the most successful, as well as "create new events and opportunities for success." Eady noted that fits in well with the town's developing of new festivals such as the Bluegrass, Brewfest and Sawtech gatherings. He con-
gratulated the BIA for taking over the Renfrew Santa parade and making it an evening event that concentrates on the downtown. In his address to the BIA, Renfrew development and works director Mike Asselin, the meeting's guest speaker, said this year's followup reconstruction work will include modifying Railway Avenue and reconfiguring Low Square to make it easier to hold downtown concerts and special
events. However, before plans are finalized or any trees are moved, there will be plenty of opportunity for public input, he promised. Asselin said the reconstruction project has given Renfrew a revitalized downtown core "everyone can be proud of," thanks to the vision shown by the BIA and town. He said the only things left are to "tidy up," monitor the landscaping, replace and repair some sidewalk panels, and add parking lines, signage and bicycle racks. Asselin stressed the impact of work this year on connector streets such as Munroe, Patrick, Railway, Renfrew, Prince and Hall avenues should be minimal on downtown merchants. "There will be some localized disruptions ... but we'll be more or less back to normal," he said. "It won't affect through traffic." In response to a concern expressed by meeting MC Andrea Labelle that the Stewart Street reconstruc-
tion would affect access to the downtown, Asselin suggested it isn't likely the project will go ahead this year as provincial connecting link funding doesn't appear to be forthcoming. Another BIA member asked when Argyle Street would be repaired. Asselin agreed it needed work, but with underground reconstruction to be done at the same time, it is unlikely the town could afford it for at least three years or more. As well as setting priorities for this year, the BIA has also set two- and five-year objectives focusing on beautification, communication, marketing and partnerships, as well as having snow removal and garbage collection service improved.

dous improvement to our downtown core." The BIA's 2019 budget presented by Blimkie includes $12,300 for beautification (plus the $10,000 loan repayment), $25,000 for administration and operations, $6,000 for festivals and events, and $14,000 for advertising and promotions. Revenues and offsets are estimated to account for $2,500 toward those expenditures. Last year's budget was underspent by almost $9,000, as the construction resulted in pullbacks in every area but advertising and promotions, which went over by $8,540 in the effort to assure customers stores were "open for business," said Blimkie. At their Feb. 20 meeting, BIA directors started compiling a calendar of events. While the Saturdays in the Park designed to attract people downtown during the construction will not be returning, there will be several special activities, starting with the Great Downtown Renfrew Garage Sale May 4 (rain date May 11).

raine Vincent. Coun. Mike Coulas is Renfrew council's new BIA representative. In his speech at the BIA's annual meeting, Renfrew Mayor Don Eady praised the improved communication and co-operation between the town and BIA. Since becoming mayor he's had his "eyes opened to the absolute importance of the BIA," he said. He noted in Renfrew the retail sector is second only to health care in providing employment. Health care accounts for 15 per cent of employees and retail 14 per cent, ahead of manufacturing at 12 per cent, he said. Eady stressed the key role for the town is not to create jobs, but foster an atmosphere in which businesses create jobs. The hiring of economic development officer, Victoria Thomas, and the production of an awardwinning community profile is a step in that direction, as are the main street improvements, he said.
When the Raglan Street reconstruction was discussed last year, the BIA agreed to contribute $150,000 over 15 years if a variety of amenities - mainly landscaping enhancements - were added to the project. With the BIA struggling to counter the effects of the construction last year, the first repayment was deferred until 2019. The BIA included the $10,000 in its $64,800 budget at its annual meeting and Renfrew council approved the repayment schedule Feb. 12. The BIA will pay the town $10,000 on each June 1 for the next 15 years to 2033. The agreement is based on a similar arrangement that had the BIA paying for streetscape improvements over nine years after reconstruction in 1999/2000. The town's report detailing the latest repayment plan noted "the partnership between the BIA, the downtown merchants and the town has been beneficial to all parties in the town and has resulted in a tremen-

WORLD CHAMPION INSPIRES YOUNG OTTAWA VALLEY SKATERS JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com One of Canada's most famous figure skaters, Kurt Browning, did not disappoint when he visited Renfrew Feb. 21 to share his passion for the sport with young Upper Ottawa Valley skaters. "What a day," said Renfrew Figure Skating coach Katie Skerkowski, who was delighted with the enthusiasm shown by Browning, a four-time world champion skater, and two-time American women's champion Alissa Czisny at the all-day seminar at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. "It was fantastic to see them working with our skaters." Browning and Czisny taught, entertained and inspired during the event hosted by the Renfrew Figure Skating Club. Skerkowski, who was instrumental
in bringing the two stars to Renfrew, said the seminar attracted a larger turnout than even she expected, with skaters coming from Arnprior, Barry's Bay, West Carleton, Deep River and Pembroke as well as Renfrew. After spending most of the day on the ice teaching and encouraging the young skaters, Browning gave an inspirational speech to the full group before answering questions and signing autographs. Then he and Czisny went back on the ice to give more lessons for members of the host Renfrew club. Browning told the Renfrew Mercury that he feels it's important to impart the joy of the sport to young skaters while encouraging them to reach their full potential. "The kids are great to work with ... so honest," he said. "Our seminars are based
on enjoying the sport," he added. "We want them to have fun." However, they need to realize it takes dedication and plenty of practice to excel. "You have to work at it, but don't get frustrated when it doesn't come easily," he said. "Sometimes kids forget how good they are." Czisny, who had a permanent smile as she helped the skaters work on their moves, urged them to concentrate on their artistic presentations. "It can't be just about the jumps," she said. At the end of the seminar, Browning told the local skaters "the better you get, the more fun it gets." It's like riding a bike, "you start wobbly, but it gets better," he assured them, advising them to focus on the positive, stay curious, let the music "carry you along," and not be afraid "to leave

Plans to turn the former Imbleau Foundry in Renfrew into an art studio and gallery require an environmental study of the site.
JUST THE FACTS: Renfrew council has agreed to provide a $5,000 Community Improvement Plan (CIP) grant to property owner Patrick Mills to help pay for the study. Mills applied for the funding to proceed with a Phase 2 environmental site assessment. The project is eligible for the maximum $5,000 under the brownfield incentive section of the CIP, as it is well under 50 per cent of the cost of the study. Mills has received three quotes for the study ranging from $18,643 to $28,024. The Phase 2 study is needed after the Phase 1 study revealed in 2017 two areas of potential environmental concern, being the former service station and the foundry itself. Mills has indicated he wants to proceed with the study immediately to expedite redevelopment of the site. After the town's planning advisory committee endorsed the application, town council approved it Feb. 12, noting it will encourage the "adaptive reuse" of a
John Carter/Metroland neglected building at the gateway to the downtown. The town provides $20,000 annually to the CIP reserve as an incentive for businesses to improve their storefronts or make better use of their properties. The latter includes remedial work on brownfield (contaminated) sites, which are also eligible for other cleanup incentives. At the recent Renfrew Business Improvement Area (BIA) annual meeting, Mayor Don Eady encouraged downtown BIA members to take advantage of the CIP fund. It was noted the full $20,000 was not allocated last year, so extra funding is likely available for 2019.

CORBIN RETIRING AS HORTON FIRE CHIEF JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com For the first time in almost 18 years, Horton is getting a new fire chief. Long-time Horton fire chief Randy Corbin has signalled his intention to retire effective Feb. 28. Deputy chief Allan Cole will become acting chief March 1 and serve until Horton council fills the position. Corbin has been a Horton firefighter since 1986. He was appointed fire chief of the volunteer department in July 2001. Horton council received with regret
Corbin's retirement letter at its Feb. 5 meeting. Saying they were sad to see him go, all councillors expressed gratitude for Corbin's service and wished him well in his retirement. At its Feb. 19 meeting, council passed the resolution appointing Cole acting chief as of March 1. Staff will first internally post the position for fire chief as per township policy. Council is expected to begin the search for a replacement in earnest once fire committee chair Lane Cleroux returns from holiday in a couple of weeks.

JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com Renfrew is mourning the death of a highly respected teacher and community activist. Lila Prince passed away Feb. 20 at the age of 87 in Bonnechere Manor with her family by her side. "She was a great teacher. She loved kids and the kids loved her," said former teaching colleague and friend Elaine Turner. "She put her heart and soul into teaching ... and she was pure fun too," said former town councillor Kate Windle, one of thousands of Renfrew residents taught by Prince over the years. Both Turner and Windle agreed that, as her obituary stated, Prince had a "positive impact" on thousands of students she taught over her teaching career at St. Francis Xavier and St. Thomas Apostle schools. Turner recalls being warmly welcomed to the teaching profession by Prince and starting up the kindergarten classes at St. Francis Xavier together. Later Prince taught physical education and health to the young students. "She recognized all their potential and could push them to their highest level," said Turner. "She was very encouraging." She was also "very active" in the community, said Turner, noting she regularly played tennis, badminton and bridge. She also served in many positions with the Catholic Women's League (CWL), focusing on health and education initiatives, organizing events, and looking after the CWL scholarships to local high schools. She was also active with the University Women's Club. "She was always willing to help," said Turner. "She was a great one to volunteer." Turner remembers Prince hosting coffee parties at her Lochiel Street home and organizing groups to take in special events together such as the Guy Lombardo Band's visit to Renfrew. "She was a real go-getter." And she had time to raise two "lovely children" and help her husband, Alan, run a sign business out of their home. Despite dealing with health issues that

Goulet Funeral Home photo Lila Prince put her in Bonnechere Manor in her final years, "she never complained," said Turner, adding that her strong faith likely helped her accept her situation. "I miss her dearly." Windle remembers Prince teaching her class square dancing and tennis and coaching her at the Rotary Music Festival, where she accompanied students on the piano. She was instrumental in forming the tennis club and was a mainstay in her church, she said. "She was very active. She knew how to live life to the fullest and wanted that for everyone else too," Windle said. "She was in everyone's heart," she added. "I never heard anyone say a bad word about her. If you looked up love in the dictionary, her picture would be there." Prince is survived by her son David, daughter Jane, three grandchildren and one great-grandchild. She was predeceased by her husband Alan and daughter Anne. Visitation was scheduled for the Goulet Funeral Home in Renfrew on Friday, Feb. 22 from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. and after 9:45 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 23. A mass of Christian Burial has been set for 11 a.m. Feb. 23 at St. Francis Xavier Church in Renfrew.

FAMILIES DEALING WITH AUTISM DESERVE BETTER Rural folks in these parts know all-too-well that when senior levels of government impose a one-sizefits-all solution on them that all-too-often it means trouble. So we sympathize with the many parents of autistic children who are decrying the provincial government’s new approach to dealing with autism. Under the guise of getting rid of the waiting list for services, the province is cutting back the amount of money allocated to autism treatment and mediation. On first blush, the changes looked promising. Certainly the long wait lists are unfair to many families. And supposedly reallocating the money so all those who need it get a share is also a worthy goal. But when those shifts come with a significant drop in assistance available to those struggling the most to give their children an opportunity to overcome the disorder, the new-look program doesn't look so reassuring. Particularly worrisome is the government's move to plug supports into a formula that doesn't recognize autism's wide spectrum. What works for a child with mild autism is likely to be entirely insufficient to help another with a severe form of the condition. Certainly the cost of helping an autistic child grow into a happy, productive adult can vary dramatically. Unfortunately, provincial governments tend to gravitate to simplistic solutions that may work well in Toronto but don't allow for the special circumstances and needs in the outback. Currently, the County of Renfrew is battling efforts by the province to impose changes to its official plan that don't make sense in a rural area. This is not new. Too often new regulations governing such areas as environment, health and transportation don't take into account the realities of rural life. Likewise, the province's autism program changes don't seem to appreciate the full gamut of challenges faced by parents with autistic children, particularly those in the rural areas. Moving children off the waiting list doesn't help much if the assistance made available is woefully inadequate. Giving parents choice of treatment isn't helpful if there are not enough professionals available to provide meaningful options (and if the therapists reaction to the changes is any indication, there will be even less help available as experts move to other provinces with friendlier autism programs). The disorder needs more scrutiny, not less, including finding out whether the apparent alarming growth of autism is real or more to do with better diagnosis and awareness and changing definitions. Whatever the case, its effects need to be countered. While there is a limit to how much money can be allocated to the problem, cutting back seems counterproductive. It is unlikely to result in service efficiencies and will lead to higher costs in the long run if fewer autistic children receive the proper therapy to make them contributing members of society. It's obvious by the heartfelt outbursts at Queen's Park and in front of MPP offices that many parents are devastated by the autism program changes. If this 'government for the people' really wants to properly reform the program, it should be listening to those 'people' most affected, the parents fearing for the future of their children. It's time for provincial government to rethink its one-size-fits-all policy and bring in flexible, reasonably funded changes that effectively tackle the diverse problems facing the entire spectrum of children with autism.

WHO WE ARE LETTERS & COMMENTARY GIFT OF SIGHT POSSIBLE THROUGH ORGAN DONATION TO THE EDITOR:
This letter is to encourage awareness of organ transplant donors. There is a great need for organ transplants, as we know, but very few available. We hear occasionally of heart, kidney or liver transplants but we seldom hear of cornea transplants. Let me tell you a story. On Feb, 25, 2006 my dear husband Walter died. It was a day I will never forget. I donated his corneas for transplant; his other organs could not be used as they had shut down too long before his death. The cornea is the clear front part of the eye. A few days later two recipients received one cornea each - one a 22-year-old from Thornhill, the other an 84year-old from Toronto. It made me feel good to know that two people can see because of Walter's death. I received a medallion from the eye bank on which I had inscribed "Because he
died, two blind people can see." On the other side is a picture of the rising sun. How nice for these people to be able to see the sun. Just recently a baby was born blind and received a cornea transplant at six weeks old. Another transplant was cancelled - no cornea. So please consider the gift of life or sight by signing an organ donor card or making provisions in your will for you and your loved ones. By doing this others may have the opportunity to live or see.

CLIMATE EMERGENCY DECLARATION NEEDED TO THE EDITOR:
Re: County schools have more to do in fighting climate change. Each day that passes with "business as usual" when environmental catastrophe approaches at increasing speed is proof that we don't want to save ourselves, even if we can. I appreciated Derek
Dunn's article in last week's paper quoting the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario and Greta Thunberg on the seriousness and haste required to mitigate the impending disaster. The latter also said that she was not announcing news, but repeating what scientists have been saying for decades. The ears of the powerful have been - and still are - deafened to the truth by greed and stupid ideologies. It's up to us, the people, to act to stop business as usual; hence the rapid growth of Extinction Rebellion worldwide. We start locally with municipal governments declaring a climate emergency. This has already happened in Vancouver and many British and European towns and cities. Remember, small towns and cities prevented our federal government from joining the USA and UK in the illegal attack on Iraq. So, there is power there. Let's lead the way in declaring a climate emergency, and join the Extinction Rebellion.

RUNTZ LOOKS AT COURTSHIP IN THE WILD

Common ravens are currently inspecting cliff ledges, silo ladders, and hydro towers, where they will build their massive stick nests. Soon the females will be laying their eggs, which they alone incubate. Canada jays (formerly known as gray jays) also start nesting in late February. Prior to mating, males present females with little Please keep our community clean.
Valentine's Day has come and gone and many of you likely celebrated it with gifts of flowers or romantic dinners. Dining in fine restaurants is a particularly common expression of love, a feature eagerly exploited by that industry. Nature also has her moments of amour, and while they may not fall specifically on Valentine's Day, a number do take place in February. Red foxes and eastern coyotes are currently falling under the spell of love. Females of those species are expressing their sexual desire by sending out odoriferous Valentine's cards. These "cards" are chemicals known as sex pheromones, which are deposited on the snow with their urine. Males use their highly developed olfactory senses to detect them and then, no doubt excitedly, track down their sender. When they finally meet their dispatcher, if all goes well they mate with them. Unlike the vast majority of mammals, after mating takes place the males remain with their mates to help raise the ensuing young.
For other animals, nature's Valentine's Day brings the offering of gifts. Although a visit to a fine restaurant is not one of them, some males do present edible gifts to potential mates. A few birds, some predatory insects, and even a few spiders use food as courtship gifts, but those acts usually place well in spring or summer. Male cedar waxwings pass berries or similar facsimiles to potential mates. The passing of gifts continues for some time, with the male hopping on a branch toward the female to give her the gift. After accepting it, she hops away. The female then hops back to the male to return his gift, and so on and so on. About a month ago I observed several pairs of bohemian waxwings - northern cousins of our local cedar waxwings - performing the same courtship ritual, but unfortunately they were too far away for me to see what items were being exchanged. Male birds of prey often present dead prey to a female of interest. Many, including northern shrikes and northern saw-whet owls, continue to bring meals to their mate after they begin nesting. Although late February

gifts of food, a process called courtship feeding. Like ravens, their much larger cousins, these gentle birds of the north build bulky nests for their size. However, unlike the nests of ravens, those of Canada jays are hidden high up in spruces or firs. Despite winter's grip still holding the land hostage, a number of local animals are turning their thoughts to love. When the moment arrives and temperatures plunge, I wonder if any of them will develop cold feet?
