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

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

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

fees from the current $35 a tonne to $80 per tonne, effec-tive July 1, 2012.

At a public meeting May 10 at the Ma-Te-Way Activ-ity Centre in Renfrew, Earthʼs Edge and Redi Recycling president Joseph Hall pre-sented a series of recommen-dations.

The public consultation at-tracted two contractors, one local businessman and one couple.

The haulers fear changes requiring separation of waste

will make their job very dif-fi cult and penalize residents trying to upgrade their prop-erties.

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

Itʼs recommended the fee for unsorted garbage be $150.

Haley strike overSparse turnout for trash consultationPeter [email protected]

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

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

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

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

Changes proposed to extend life of landfi llContinued from front

Other recommendations in-clude:

• a minimum charge of $15 for up to 200 kg of waste;

• free blue box recyclables, metal, OCC (old corrugated containers), leaf and yard waste, electronics, household hazardous waste and other ma-terials from time to time based on ability and cost to divert;

• extra curbside collection bag tags available for $2 each at the municipal offi ces, li-brary and recreation centre;

• increase the amount of material segregated to in-crease diversion and grind bulky waste;

• establish a small-load dis-posal area at the landfi ll for safety and reduce operation costs;

• consider offering backyard composters for sale again, to obtain credit from Waste Di-version Ontario; and

• drop the curbside collec-tion bag allowance in 2015 to one bag residential and two bags commercial.

The recommended landfi ll hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday, Wednes-day, Thursday and Saturday; and extended summer hours Thursday 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

It is also recommended that landfi ll reserve funds and re-serve fund policies be created for mid-term and fi nal closure of the landfi ll, perpetual care, leachate management and Stage 5 expansion.

All funds are to stay within the waste management area.

During Thursdayʼs public consultation, concerns were expressed, including the ongo-ing problem of people dump-ing trash at private business garbage bins.

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

The fi ve people at Thurs-dayʼs session were assured their concerns will be consid-ered by council as it prepares to vote on the fi nal recommen-dations.

Residential bag limit could be down to two by September

Earth’s Edge president Joe Hall led Thursday’s public con-sultation. His report to council sets the remaining life of the current landfi ll operations at 11.7 to 17.8 years. He said landfi ll expansions and approvals (Stage 5) will take signifi cant time (fi ve-plus years) and money. The current cost projection is $500,000 to $800,000.

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

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

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

Rousselle gives the gift of life, again and again

David Rousselle has been honoured for 150 dona-tions.

Haley strikeContinued from front

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

The new, three-year col-lective agreement, ratifi ed by union members on Wednes-day, will give about 400 work-ers a total wage increase of 82 cents an hour.

Other gains in the new con-tract include a new long-term-disability plan, improved health-care benefi ts and con-version of the former pen-sion plan to the Steelworkers Pension Plan. The Steelwork-ers Pension Plan is a multi-employer, union-administered plan that will provide a greater

pension for workers and more fi nancial stability for the em-ployer.

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

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

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

The plant, located on Mag-nesium Road in Whitewater Township, has been modern-ized over the years, and manu-factures airplane parts for Ma-gellan Aerospace.

Small property value increases mean lower 2012 taxes in Renfrew Steve [email protected]

Renfrew council approved its 2012 budget May 2, but the implications for local ratepayers was clarifi ed in treasurer Keray OʼReillyʼs report to council Mon-day night.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(0.3).Actual examples of the total tax bill

implications for residents and businesses follow. These examples, in order, show the propertyʼs 2011 and 2012 values, 2011 taxes and 2012 increase/drop in taxes.

• Residential: 1) $257,000, $257,000, $3,840.97; taxes down $122.69; 2) $201,000, $211,000, $3,004.04, taxes up $48.72; 3) $232,500, $255,750; $3,474.81; taxes up $225.38.

• Multi-residential: 1) $711,000, $711,000, $19,103.28, taxes down $592.66; 2) $301,734,734, $330,537, $8,107.04, taxes up $498.37.

• Commercial – full: 1) $1,615,550, $1,697,880; $62,243.82; taxes up $802.62; 2) $251,500, $276,750, $9,689.78; taxes up $586.63.

• Industrial: 1) $2,185,200; $2,185,500; $121,758.82; taxes down $8,760.12; 2) $334,000, $342,500; $18,610.40; taxes down $899.41.

Mac’s expansion to include restaurantSteve [email protected]

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

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

square feet to about 3,150.Renfrew council unani-

mously approved the appli-cation for site plan control Monday.

The current facility con-tains a convenience store and gas bar.

The intersection of Hall, Raglan and Veterans Memori-

al Boulevard is often referred to as Confusion Corner. Being aware of the traffi c challenges at that corner, Renfrew Coun-tyʼs manager of operations in public works, Steve Boland, suggested the town limit turn-ing movements to and from the site to minimize traffi c confl icts and confusion.

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

Construction is expected to get underway shortly.

The expansionʼs esti-mated engineering costs are $221,000.

Time to examine future of Horton beachfrontThereʼs only $1,000 set aside in the

budget to develop Horton Townshipʼs beachfront property, which wonʼt allow for much work in 2012.

However, Horton council is trying to put a fi nger on whether or not the prop-erty should be developed as a beachfront, left alone or sold.

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

Because there are many “precon-

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

The committee will consist of Horton recreation manager Kathleen Rogers, recreation chair Whyte, CAO Mackie McLaren, two recreation committee members (other than Whyte) and a mem-ber of the public to be appointed by the CAO.

“We can look at pros and cons, costs, resources weʼre going to need, (and the status) of the waterway and the entrance

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

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

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

The property is located just off River Road, between Fredʼs Lane and Mullins Road.

“Historically, there is a consensus that people want it developed,” said Whyte.

“But when you look at recreational issues, thereʼs always a cost, so until we have the community centre, the rink roof and the change rooms paid for, itʼs a big decision (to embark on another development).”

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


Mercury honoured for County 150th sectionThe Renfrew Mercury has earned another honour. The Mercury placed third overall at the recent Metroland Media Awards in Toronto in the special section category. The Mer-cury was recognized for last year’s Renfrew County 150th special section – A Celebration – in our June 2, 2011 edition. The special 16-page feature and event guide included in-teresting ‘fun facts’ from across the county, as well as heritage photos and recognition of such important aspects of the county and its development as forestry, agriculture and industry.

For safety’s sake in GMTo safeguard township residents, employees, vol-

unteers and/or property and equipment, it is the policy of Greater Madawaska that all prospective volunteers and contractors who interact with vulnerable persons must submit to a criminal record police check.

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

Costs incurred relating to the completion, applica-tion and submission of the criminal record check are the responsibility of the contractor with the township. However, volunteers will be reimbursed the cost of obtaining the criminal record check.

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

The township doesnʼt want to start losing its vol-unteers, he said.

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

County examining detour possibilitiesSteve [email protected]

As Highway 417 expansion moves up through the Valley, more discussions are expected between Ministry of Trans-portation (MTO) and County of Renfrew offi cials to iden-tify more detour routes.

A meeting took place in Arnprior recently with repre-sentatives from the Arnprior Fire Department, the Town of Arnprior, Renfrew Coun-ty, MTO and the OPP to talk about detour routes as High-way 417 expansion moves past Arnprior.

It remains to be seen if MTO will fi nancially com-pensate Renfrew County or its municipalities for heavy

traffi c use on these emergency detour routes, or EDRs.

But Renfrew County public works director Dave Darch said discussions are certainly expected, for the purpose of identifying future EDRs and determining what MTO direc-tional signs appear on those routes.

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

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

If so, compensation is worth pursuing, Boland told

the Mercury. “Whatʼs good for the goose,

is good for the gander.” Regardless of the level of

future fi nancial assistance, Darch says the growing need to identify more EDRs will increase as Highway 417 con-struction moves toward Ren-frew.

At present, signage is “fair-ly minimal,” but that topic needs more discussion, said Boland.

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

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

This years’ theme “IT TAKES A TEAM” was embraced by families and friends who came decked out in team shirts, hats and even decorated dogs! The weather was beautiful, the facilities immaculate, and the inspiration from the memories of families and friends overwhelming!

This event could not happen without the time and energy of countless volunteers. A special thank-you to the Hike for Hospice Committee, who have been working since January to get this event organized.

Steve [email protected]

Renfrew resident Jo-Anne Dowdall-Brown is the proud recipient of the June Callwood Award for Volunteerism.

She received the award at last monthʼs Hospice Associa-tion of Ontario annual confer-ence as recognition for leader-ship, innovation and creative in volunteerism, and commu-nity service.

The award is in memory of Canadian author, journal-ist and activist June Callwood who died in 2007.

CALLWOOD’S MANY CALLINGS

Callwoodʼs extensive career included writing for the Globe and Mail newspaper and Macleanʼs magazine; ghost-writing 10 autobiographies, including one for American broadcaster Barbara Walters; and founding or co-founding more than 50 Canadian social action organizations. Those organizations included a To-ronto hospice for people with AIDS, the Canadian Civil Lib-erties Association, and Femi-nists Against Censorship.

Dowdall-Brown, who is a volunteer member of Hospice Renfrewʼs board of directors, is in charge of fundraising and public relations.

Hospice members say they are fortunate to have her orga-nizational skills and endless energy.

‘FACE OF HOSPICE’

“She has been a keen sup-porter and, for many, the face of hospice for over fi ve years,” says a Hospice Renfrew news release.

“Her empathy with patients,

June Callwood Award goesto Hospice Renfrew volunteer

loyalty to friends, unending energy and unselfi sh generos-ity is an inspiration to us all.”

In keeping with her zest for life, her licence plate reads: LUV 2 LAFF.

Speaking of love, Dowdall-Brown said, after receiving the Callwood award: “It is such an honour to be recognized for doing something that I love doing. Hospice Renfrew is more than a building, it is a heartfelt place, that only those that have required their ser-vices can explain.

“As a community nurse, I knew we required a place like it; as a daughter-in- law it became more than that. Vol-unteers are so important to all hospices as to many organiza-

tions.

‘SHARED AWARD’

“I share this award with all the hardworking volunteers at Hospice Renfrew.”

Earlier this year, Dowdall-Brown was also nominated for Renfrew citizen of the year. In addition to her time with the local hospice, she is also seen helping out other community causes, such as Cougars for Cancer, the Renfrew Victoria Hospitalʼs digital mammogra-phy fund, and the Look Good, Feel Good Program.

Outside her volunteer activ-ities, she is a registered nurse who works in Dr. Don Kempʼs offi ce in Renfrew.

CULL BARN DANCE – JUNE 23rd

Iris the Dragon donation

The RBC Children’s Mental Health Project is a multi-year philan-thropic commitment to support local and grass-roots initiatives across the country. On May 2, an Iris the Dragon workshop took place at Queen Elizabeth Public School for teachers in Renfrew County. Iris the Dragon work-shops provide teachers an oppor-tunity to understand the need for educating our children about their mental health and well-ness. The workshop includes an instructional session on imple-menting the curriculum in their schools. Marci Joyce, Branch Manager RBC Renfrew, presents a $5000 cheque to Gayle Grass, author of Iris the Dragon. RBC is proud to support initiatives that reduce stigma, provide early in-tervention, and increase public awareness about such an impor-tant topic.

Festival organizers welcome helping handsLucy [email protected]

The power is out and Chris-tina Ouellet sits in her dark-ened shop – The Flower Fac-tory – outlining plans for the Business Improvement Area Festival of Family.

Suddenly event co-chair, or as Christina describes “co-conspirator,” Mel Blimkie walks through the door,

“I came to borrow a cup of energy,” he jokes.

But while the lights may be out – darkened by a temporary power outage in the town – itʼs very clear thereʼs no lack of energy here.

The Festival of Family, sponsored by Renfrewʼs Busi-ness Improvement Area, is set for Saturday, July 28 in down-town Renfrew.

And while the co-chairs are excited about plans to offer families a wide range of at-tractions from the Sharon and Bram show to buskers and jumping castles, they know they need help.

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

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

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

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

“We (the BIA) wanted to do something for the whole family – young and old. We just want to have a lot of fun that day,” says Ouellet.

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

She recalls the fi rst time organizers pondered bringing the Sharon and Bram show to town. She told herself, “I know these are big dreams, but I gotta try.”

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

“Itʼs beyond a show,” says Ouellet, noting how genera-tions of families have bonded over songs like Peanut Butter and Skinnamarink.

Tickets are $15 and are available at The Flower Fac-tory, A Sense of Country, Kids Corp and Scottʼs Shoe Store.

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

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

As Ouellet explains, “Val-ley Heritage Radio is going to close out the day with a coun-try jam party in Low Square”

The Renfrew detachment of the Ontario Provincial Po-lice responded to 151 calls for service during the past week.

CANADA’S ROAD SAFETY WEEK

Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) detachments across the province are making prepa-rations to support the annual Canada Road Safety Week campaign – Road Safety Strat-egy 2015, the goal of which is to make Canadaʼs roads the safest in the world.

Canada Road Safety Week focuses on increasing public compliance with safe driving through enforcement action. The goal is to save lives and reduce injuries on Canadaʼs highways by targeting the ma-jor causes of road deaths and injuries, specifi cally, aggres-sive driving, impaired driving, distracted driving and failing to be properly restrained.

The campaign began May 14 and will be carried out over the Victoria Day long week-end before coming to an end on May 21.

“The OPP fully supports this national road safety cam-paign which targets aggres-sive driving behaviours and

restraint non-compliance,” said OPP Commissioner Chris Lewis. “The goal of this cam-paign is in keeping with our own Provincial Traffi c Safety Program which aims to reduce injuries and deaths on our highways through education and aggressive enforcement action,” added Lewis.

DOMESTIC DISPUTES

During the past week of-fi cers from the Renfrew OPP investigated three domestic disputes.

MISCHIEF

• An area of a golf green was damaged at the Renfrew Golf Club overnight Monday, May 7. A substance was poured on the green which damaged the grass. The suspect parked at the gate to the property and walked to the location, and physical evidence was located nearby. Const. Jamie Prince is continuing to investigate.

• A vehicle was damaged while parked in a parking lot on Pembroke Street in Cobden. The vehicle was scratched with a sharp object between 4:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 12.

There are no suspects.• Unknown culprits slashed

the tires on a car in Renfrew sometime on Sunday, May 13. The car was parked in a park-ing lot on Raglan Street South in Renfrew.

Const. Mark Condron is in-vestigating.

THEFT

• An ATV was stolen from an address in Renfrew over-night on May 7. A 2003 green Polaris Sportsman 400 was stolen from the Rous-selle Street home in Renfrew. Const. Ryan Besner is con-tinuing to investigate.

• A brown 10-speed Rally bike was stolen during the af-ternoon on May 7 in Renfrew. The bike was leaning against a home on Barr Street in Ren-frew prior to being stolen.

• A VISA card was stolen out of a parked car at a park-ing lot on Rafters Road in Whitewater Region. After the card was stolen sometime on Sunday, May 13, the thief at-tended a business in Renfrew and several items were pur-chased with the stolen credit card.

Const. Tina Hunt is inves-tigating.

OPP campaign up and running

Police Week celebrated May 13 to 19The Ontario Provincial

Police (OPP) is celebrating police offi cers throughout On-tario, and the leadership they provide to the citizens of On-tario.

This is Police Week in On-tario, and it has been dedicated to increasing awareness about the good work police do in our communities, and recognizing the strength and importance of partnerships between po-lice and the people who have come to rely on the services we provide.

Police Week is being cel-ebrated by OPP Detachments throughout Ontario. OPP Commissioner Chris Lewis

said “Everyone in Ontario plays a vital role in making our communities safer. Itʼs everyoneʼs responsibility, and crime prevention is every-oneʼs business. Police canʼt do it alone; we need leader-ship from the community and the support of every resident in Ontario.”

The OPP offers many pro-grams designed to foster re-lationships between the OPP and the citizens of Ontario. Crime prevention through community engagement is working, and OPP offi cers will continue their good work with the people who live, work and play in this province.

“Police Week is an oppor-tunity to show our apprecia-tion to police offi cers and their community partners for all they do to keep our commu-nities safe,” said Madeleine Meilleur, Minister of Commu-nity Safety and Correctional Services. Ontario is safer and stronger thanks to our police services and the support of all Ontarians.”

For more information on Police Week activities in your community please contact your local OPP detachment.

EDITORIALEDITORIAL Your Community Newspaper


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

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

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

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

An estimated life of 12 to 18 years remains

in phase four of Renfrewʼs fi ve-phase landfi ll facility.

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

Only fi ve citizens attended the consultation, each with specifi c concern regarding the rec-ommendations and their impact. The vast ma-jority, it would appear, are content.

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

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

on the landfi ll site is growing.One key factor behind that pressure is Ren-

frewʼs unusually low tipping fees compared to neighbouring municipalities, creating a “mag-net” of people using the site illegally.

This is a real problem for Renfrew ratepay-ers because the townʼs certifi cate of approval is based on accepting only local waste. The town (aka taxpayers) are fi nancially liable for any fi nes issued by the Ministry of the Envi-ronment.

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

Thereʼs a steep price to be paid for procras-tination, and Hall suggested almost a decade

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

Only immediate action to slow the amount of waste going into the landfi ll will help to pre-serve its life.

Renfrew taxpayers are also solely respon-sible for the cost of closing down, then caring for and monitoring old landfi ll, in perpetuity.

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

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

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

Residents challenged to do more to preserve landfi llEDITORIAL

MESSAGE FROM QUEEN’S PARK

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

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

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

C) It should continue, but to account for infl ation, the list should be modi-fi ed to include only employees mak-ing $150,000 and more.

D) Stop the practice. It’s an inva-sion of privacy. People’s salaries are nobody’s business but employees and employers.

THIS WEEK’S QUESTIONWhat do you think of the recent Ipsos-Reid poll that showed the federal New Democratic Party virtually tied with the Conservatives.

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

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

C) It’s a mere glitch in the polls following Thomas Mulcair’s election as the new NDP leader.

D) The NDP’s popularity won’t last. The Liberals will return to form.

John Yakabuski, MPRenfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke

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

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

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

We had made it clear, in the time leading up to the budget, that there had to be real mea-sures taken to change the di-rection of Ontarioʼs fi nances or we would not support it.

Letʼs look at the numbers. Ontarioʼs defi cit will be large-ly unchanged in this budget, decreasing by less than one per cent to $15.2 billion.

To put this into perspective, Quebec has the next largest defi cit among Canadian prov-inces at $1.5 billion. Thatʼs right – one tenth of Ontarioʼs.

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

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

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

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

Next to health and educa-tion interest on debt is the larg-est item in the budget. Thatʼs $10.6 billion that cannot be spent on programs and ser-vices. That number will con-tinue to rise as long as we run budget defi cits. Since coming to power Dalton McGuinty has almost doubled our debt. Quite a legacy.

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

As a result of this budget, and McGuintyʼs fi scal record of mismanagement, two ma-jor international credit rating agencies, Standard & Poors and Moodys, downgraded Ontarioʼs credit rating after the passing of the budget.

This could potentially add hundreds of millions of dol-lars more to the annual inter-est payments.

Clearly, these agencies have little faith in the Liberals ̓abil-ity to manage the provinceʼs fi nances. We got a glimpse of how unwilling they are to face

Ontarioʼs fi scal reality when they voted down a resolution by my caucus colleague, Ted Arnott, the MPP for Welling-ton-Halton Hills.

Mr. Arnottʼs resolution would have compelled the government to repay the debt at a rate of 2.5 per cent of pro-gram spending once the bud-get was balanced. They indi-cated that they could not agree to such an amount.

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

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

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

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

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

Provincial debt falls back to you, your children and grandchildren

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

The 12-year-old is an avid public speaker and heʼs usu-ally one of the lead roles in the drama productions at the Renfrew elementary school. But now he has another com-mitment.

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

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

“This is the third year of the program, and they have actu-ally taken ideas from the stu-dents and implemented them into curriculum,” said Bruce.

As one of 60 students on the 2012 student advisory council, Foster will also attend a lead-ership camp at Lake Coochi-ching in late July.

The same students gathered Monday at Queenʼs Park to participate in workshops. The discussions ̓ highlighted top-ics were reviewed by Educa-tion Minister Lauren Broten. She also told the students their input is important and is lis-tened to.

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

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

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

At the conference in Toron-to, he said sports are important and helps keeps kids active. But he added that arts help round out a studentʼs overall development during the school year.

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

Foster, who turns 13 in July, says he hopes to bring perspec-tive, a little humour and a lis-tening ear to the discussions.

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

Already, the experience has come with at least one sur-prise.

At the end of the May 7 con-ference, the organizers asked Foster to read a thank-you let-ter to the education minister.

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

McIntyre named to education minister’s advisory council

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

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

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

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

“He has a very special pas-sion for the arts, and heʼs ar-ticulate,” added OLF principal

Jeannie Armstrong.“I thought he would be a

great ambassador for our sys-tem, for our board.”

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

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

Salute to volunteers

The Quail Creek Retire-ment Centre in Renfrew held a volunteer lun-cheon Tuesday, April 24. “A lunch was served to honour all our wonder-ful volunteers at Quail,” noted community rela-tions manager Susan Mc-Gregor.

To the editor:Steady progress is being

made on the St. Gabrielʼs Memory Book, which is being prepared to honour the priests and people who were associ-ated with the mission church of St. Gabriel the Archangel at Springtown. The plan is to release the book in November, in time for Christmas gift giv-ing.

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

Please contact Carol Mc-Cuaig before sending photos through the mail. She can be reached at 432-8992 or [email protected]/ Postal ad-dress: 127 McCuaig Rd, RR 2, Renfrew, ON, K7V 3Z5.

Photos may also be submit-ted electronically (300 dpi, please) to Joel McCrea, [email protected]/

If you are in the Renfrew area you may take your photos to Bill McAdam at Renfrew Printing, who will scan them while you wait. Before you leave, please make a photo-copy of the pictures with suit-able captions and your own contact details. This can be left with Bill McAdam or giv-en to Joel McCrea at McCreaʼs Heating & Air Conditioning on Stewart Street.

It will be greatly appreci-ated if people whose families have a connection with St. Ga-brielʼs church can hunt up suit-able photos to help us make this book a success.

Respectfully submitted,

Carol McCuaigRenfrew

To the editor:Dave Brash is certainly a

diverse individual in our com-munity and it was nice to see a story in our local paper about Dave, but I feel one area of the story needs clarifi cation so people in our community donʼt get the wrong idea about our local food bank.

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

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

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

Corrections • Last weekʼs Renfrew

Mercury story about the June 10 rededication of the Martin Cemetery in-correctly described the 19th-century property as being on Mask Road. It is actually located on Whit-ton Road.

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

The reference to “last” was intended to refer to it as the most recent claim. That is not to say there wonʼt be other claims in the near or distant future.

Burning plastics releases dioxins that settle in crops and in our waterways Lucy [email protected]

Farming is all about land stewardship: protecting and preserving the natural en-vironment.

Advancements in farming have, how-ever, handed the farm community a range of environmental challenges. Among those is disposal of farm fi lm and agricul-tural plastic and bale wrap.

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

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

Baled wrap will have to be cut open and inspected.

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

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

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

In fact, if the May 26 depot were not being held, the Briscoes would be bal-ing the material and dropping it off at the Pembroke landfi ll for disposal.

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

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

said. “I hope they have a decent turnout. Thereʼs a pile of it out there.”

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

THE CHALLENGE

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

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

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

Randyʼs brother, Glen, is a senior engi-neer and manager of compliance and ap-provals with Geofi rma Engineering Ltd. in Ottawa.

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

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

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

Releasing these dioxins through burn-ing is all-encompassing.

“Dioxins also settle on crops and in

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

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

LANDFILL LIFESPAN

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

Like municipalities everywhere across the province, country and world, Admas-ton-Bromley is struggling to preserve precious landfi ll space. Reducing the vol-ume of material going into the site is an ongoing battle.

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

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

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

Soon the Renfrew County Cattlemenʼs Association and Ontario Federation of Agriculture were on board, then joined by the Renfrew County Holstein Club and Dairy Farmers of Renfrew County. The money raised will be used to adver-tise the one-day recycling depot across Renfrew County.

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

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

Briscoe is sporting an RRRated T-shirt from Admaston-Bromley council that, on its back, encourages people to reduce, reuse and recycle.

Burning plastic can cause cancer and is illegal.

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

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

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

On hand to make the cheque presentation to RVH Foundation Director of De-velopment Barb Desilets in early April were CWL Presi-dent Cecilia Curry and mem-ber Magdalene OʼReilly, as well as Grand Knight Claire Stapley, with members Adrian

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

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

Desilets noted that fundrais-ing efforts are near the half-way mark towards the fi nal goal of $700,000 and thanked both the CWL and Knights of Columbus members.

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

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

Terri Hunt was in the right place at the right time – Tim Hortons on OʼBrien Road – March 12 and won a 55-inch Panasonic 3-D complete home theatre package worth more than $4,000.

She went through the drive-thru with her son and cousin and was enjoying her coffee at home.

“I rolled up the rim, and won,” she recalled.

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

Scapa Renfrew earns honours at CEO awards Scapa Group plc, a global manufacturer of

bonding materials and solutions, has held their fi rst CEO Award Ceremony.

The Operations team based at Scapaʼs Ren-frew site has won the innovation category and service excellence category.

The CEO Awards initiative was launched last July to recognize and reward excellence and teamwork throughout the company. The scheme is Scapaʼs way of saying thank you to those employees who go the extra mile to sup-port customers, to drive change or create in-novations.

Since July of last year employees have nom-inated projects they felt were deserving of fur-ther recognition within the organization.

Regional award ceremonies have been held throughout February 2012 in the United King-dom, France, Switzerland and North America.

Awards were presented to those employees who have performed exceptionally in the fol-lowing categories:

• Innovation Excellence: This award pro-motes greater lateral and expansive thinking within the business.

• Contribution to Continuous Improvement: This award promotes the development and im-provement of methods, processes and proce-

dures across the business. • Service Excellence: This award recognizes

teams that can prove a demonstrable commit-ment to putting the customer fi rst. It validates all initiatives that led to a customer centric ex-cellence via sales, operational, supply chain, support services activities.

• The Operations Team based at Scapaʼs Windsor site has won the Continuous Improve-ment category. The team will now be entered into the Global CEO Awards and the winners will be announced during March.

“I have really enjoyed attending the ceremo-nies and presenting awards to those employees who have demonstrated great achievements within our business,” says Scapa CEO Heejae Chae.

Scapa is a worldwide leading manufacturer of bonding solutions and adhesive components for applications in the Healthcare, Electronics, Industrial and Transportation markets.

It helps health care, industrial, electron-ics and transportation customers create better products by providing adhesive solutions and components.

It designs its offerings around the require-ments of global OEMs, distributors and con-sumers.


A helicopter landing area advisory com-mittee was formed in 2011 to study the idea of establishing air ambulance pads to service each of the three wards of Greater Madawaska Township.

Meetings were held with the County of Renfrew Emergency Services Department and ORNGE, the air ambulance provider for On-

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

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

Funds for the project will go back into a re-serve, the mayor said.

Air ambulance helipads not aff ordable at this time

So I was giving some thought to expectations or rather when expectations are not met and we feel disap-pointed, cheated and let down. You know the feeling when you are really looking forward to something special and it doesn’t go as planned. I don’t know about you but when this happens I can feel so many different emotions all at once. The emotions range from anger and hurt to sadness and frustration. When these feeling happen sometimes we just want to get over it and get on with feeling better yet disappoint-ment can impatiently hang on and leave us feeling at loose ends longer then need be.

We have all experienced disappointment in so many ways. Not being offered a position you worked so hard to achieve. Feeling let down by children’s decisions when you know they could do so much better. Expecting a special moment to unfold in a certain way and feeling resentful when it doesn’t. When these expectations are not met the way we expect, it is said we are not living in the moment. We are spend-ing our time in the past or future and not the present.

I decided to explore some strategies for overcoming

dashed expectations and disappointments.

The fi rst suggestion I came across I didn’t like very much. It was “let yourself experience the feeling and try not to rush through it.” Kids are very good at this. They can have a major tantrum, get it all out, and return to feeling happy and content again very quickly. It’s ok to just sit with the feel-ings, let them run through you and not allow yourself to be rushed through them, yet most of us want to hurry up and feel better.

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

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

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

Acceptance of the situa-tion and knowing disappoint-ment is a part of life is the other suggestion. We will continue to disappoint others and they will disappoint us. We are all human beings. If we can practice acceptance we will suffer much less.

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

1912: Moves across street to Staff ord Block premisesMAY 17, 1912

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

FIXING UP HABIT: Ren-frew has the fi xing up habit fairly well developed this season. Mr. Joseph Rousselle has recently had his house improved by the erection of a large verandah and balcony.Mr. Jas. A. McArthur has a similar erection underway on his residence on James Street; while in course of conversa-tion with Mr. W.A. Moore on Wednesday we learned that already he has orders to build fi ve verandas and also fi ve new houses. At present Mr. W.A. Smith is his representative in the superintendence of the construction of the new Huron Hotel at Combermere taking the place of that destroyed by fi re last year.

MAY 13, 1937

A 15,000 MILE TRIP: Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Dunn of Sydney, Nova Scotia are in Renfrew for a few days visit-ing with their son, Mr. P.R. Dunn and Mrs. Dunn. They just fi nished a tour of the Unit-ed States and Canada after spending a part of the winter at St. Petersburg, Florida. Mr. and Mrs. Dunn have travelled more than 15,000 miles by rail, boat and motor bus, have enjoyed it all and are in excel-lent health. Many old friends in Renfrew are glad to see them again.

SAWING IS RESUMED AT BRAESIDE MILL: More than 200 Braeside and Arn-prior men started work this

morning at Braeside with the opening of Gillies ̓Bros. Ltd. lumber mills. It is expected that a run of about fi ve and a half months will be had this season with an output of lum-ber equal if not in excess of last yearʼs cut. All old hands, mostly residents of Braeside, are employed and 65 extra men hired making the total in the neighbourhood of 245.

MAY 18, 1977

TOWN LIBRARY TO RE-CEIVE WINTARIO GRANT:

A Wintario grant of $2,877 is to be made to Renfrew Public Library to assist in the pur-chase of shelving, furniture, and library equipment. This will be the second grant to be received this year. The Library Board applied for a total of three grants. A grant of $1,188 is to be made to the Renfrew Legion Pee Wee Hockey Team for travel assis-tance to attend the Invitational Central Canada Pee Wee Hockey Tournament in Thun-der Bay. The Cobden Public Library will receive a grant

of $2,000 for the purchase of Canadian books and naturals. Grants totaling $11,000 were approved for eight projects in Renfrew County according to a recent provincial statement.

FUN DAY AT RCI: Rob-ert Frank, attendance offi cer for Renfrew Collegiate In-stitute says participation in this yearʼs RCI fun day was large and a success has been

recorded. Teachers, Mr. Frank says, participated in a greater number than usual with 80 per cent of the staff involved with the dayʼs events. Stu-dents participated 570 strong and went to work in the dayʼs activities with much vigor and eagerness. Winning the dayʼs events was house 1, Sagit-tarius with 593 points. Second place went to house 5 Virgo

with 416 points, a close third went to house 4 Libra with 413 points. Winning the fourth place position was house 3 Taurus, fi fth went to house 2 Gemini with 301 points and house 6 Scorpio came in last with 259 points.

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

Proudly sponsored by the Bromley Historical Society, the memorial lecture com-memorates the former society member and supporter who sadly passed away in 2011. The talk will be held in the old town hall, 498 Micks-burg Road, Osceola. Profes-sor Gorman was a pupil at the school and often wrote about it fondly.

Rice began teaching at Pine Valley in 1956, only four years after graduating from the school. The school was begun in 1885 by both Catho-lic and Protestant parents in the section, who wanted their children to receive a solid ed-ucation, a concern that would continue through the decades.

“When I began teaching, there was a shortage of teach-ers,” Rice said in a recent in-terview, “and so the provincial government put 900 teachers into rural schools. I began my teaching career right after high school and taught for two

years before going on for fur-ther teacher training.”

She indicated that teaching at a one-room schoolhouse was challenging, having to prepare lessons for seventeen students across eight grades. She recalled often eating a sandwich with one hand while preparing the afternoon les-sons with the other.

“The strength of the school grew out of how it began – the family setting. The children came from strong family roots. With so many grades, it was possible to assign older chil-dren to look after the younger ones. They were highly re-sponsible, a trait instilled in them by their parents.”

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

When Rice returned to teach in the school in 1960, she found improvements –

an oil furnace to heat it; new slate blackboards, which re-placed the early Beaverboard ones, which had to be painted black every year; a chemical toilet; and a Gestner machine for copying.

“In those days, you were teacher, principal and secre-tary. And the parents volun-teered to oversee the school to ensure it was well run. You know, it all worked. Children went on to pursue professions as doctors, teachers and pro-fessors, nurses and, of course, continuing to run family farm. My motto is that no child was behind the door when gifts were handed out. You had to adapt to the childʼs skills and teach them to value and be proud of the skills they were given.”

The afternoon being planned by the Bromley His-torical Society will also in-clude the planting of a Heri-tage Oak at the old town hall to remember Dan Gorman. The talk is free and open to the public. Former students at Pine Valley and other local residents are invited to bring photos and memories of their school days. Refreshments will be served.

Fun By The Numbers

Like puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test!

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fi ll each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can fi gure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20There is a cause in your heart, Aries, and it will direct much of what you do for the week. You may need to recruit a helper to keep up with all of your plans.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Think about a change of scenery, Taurus, because you can use it. It may take more than a day or two away from work to recharge your batteries, however.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, a new address leads to plenty of new relationships. You just have to weed through them to fi nd the ones that have serious potential. A friend is jealous of your good fortune.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22You are tempted to play the blame game, Cancer. But think better of it when some new information comes to the surface. Thursday will be a good day for personal refl ection.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, there’s a chance you will be passed over for something important this week. Don’t let it get you down. You’ll have another opportunity soon enough.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Even though someone repeatedly asks you not to do something, you seem to keep on doing it, Virgo. If you’re looking for trouble, this is the perfect way to get into it.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, a big argument yields no winners, only losers. It’s your responsibility to start mending some fences. There’s a close friend who has some good advice if you’ll listen.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Cabin fever, boredom, the winter blues ... call it what you want to, Scorpio, but you’ve certainly got a case. This could be a good time to head to a warmer climate.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Now is not the time to make big decisions, Sagittarius, such as fi nancial moves or whether to get a pet. In a few weeks things will seem more clear and it may be a better time.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, before you get sidetracked by one way of thinking, it’s better if you listen to as many ideas as possible. The right one for you is just around the corner.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18This week you could feel in a domestic mood, Aquarius. So surround yourself with those activities you love to do at home. Maybe it’s cooking or some redecorating.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, a chance for romance is fl eeting, so you better jump on it now. Your soul mate is just waiting for that special connection.

The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, May 17, 2012 21R0011401268

Debbie Kiss and Kyra Comparelli had a steady lineup of little ones wanting to slide down the colourful infl atable slide.

Mercury photos by Derek DunnDrivers along Reglan Street couldn’t claim to not have seen the fundraiser at Low Square Saturday, May 5. Meghan Forgie and her sign made sure of that.

Low Square comes alive for Relay for Life fundraiserDerek [email protected]

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

The annual Relay for Life fundraiser, this year hosted by both Renfrew Collegiate In-stitute (RCI) and St. Joseph Catholic High School, was well on way to reaching its goal. RCI is aiming for more than $500,000 over the last six years.

While the atmosphere was light and cheer-ful, many were remembering those lost to can-cer, such as former RCI teacher Bonnie Kerr. Organizers Mike and Liz Wright and Cheryl Barber were among those thinking of Kerr. The latter brightened when asked how business was going.

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

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

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

“The doctor told us it was a tumour, right there,” she said, pointing behind her left ear. “I was out of it, feeling sick. My parents were devastated.”

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

speak to young people near and far, including an upcoming engagement at an Ottawa high school where she will share her story with 1,400 students.

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

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

SOLDIER ON, RIDE ONAbout 150 bikers descended on Calabogie Peaks May 5 for the Soldier On fundraiser. The Canadian Army Veteran (CAV) Motorcycle Unit raises money to give amputated war veterans a chance to ski. “If you can ski down a mountain what else can you do,” said P.M. “Trapper” Cane, national president of the CAV. With him are, from left, Canadian Associa-tion for Disabled Skiing’s Dan Fleming, Calabogie Peaks operation director Bob Gilmour, Calabogie Peaks owner/operator Liz Murphy, and “drifter” Bill Truman. The day included live music and a pig roast.

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

Steve Newman [email protected]

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

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

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

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

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

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

“She always had a smile and she was always willing to help out,” recalls Liz

“She was just a fun-loving person.” The carnival was set up at Ma-Te-Way Ac-

tivity Centre, where organizers increased the number of bounce kingdoms or mazes from four last year to fi ve this year, while also offer-ing various skill-testing games and a canteen. One of the most popular activities was laser tag in an infl atable maze.

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

12-HOUR RELAY FINALE

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

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

Great response to Carnival of Hope

JD Dixon of Admaston Public School is all smiles while sprinting through this bounce kingdom at the carnival of hope.

where a make-shift track is used for the sur-vivor lap, ongoing walking and the luminary ceremony.

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

Bigger game than the playoff s just keeps on goingAs you may already have read,

organizers for Michelle Smithʼs fi ve-kilometre run or walk in Calabogie last Saturday were hoping to get 50 people out to lend their support.

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

But they do know cancer, and all are fi ring pucks its way to beat it. Cancer has affected everybody in one form or another.

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

7 a.m. Friday and Saturday, May 25 and 26 at Ma-Te-Way Park.

If you are not already involved in this fundraiser – no problem. Take a spin out to Ma-Te-Way and drop off fi ve or 10 bucks, or grab a hamburg or hot dog off the grill to support the cause.

Great strides have been made to beat this dreaded disease, but there is

a long way to go. Do it for somebody you know.

Tough time for Angel(s): Dur-ing the opening round of the Players Championship last week, one televi-sion announcer noted that Angel Ca-brera withdrew after the fi rst round of the tournament for personal rea-sons.

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

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

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

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

Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rang-ers hit four home runs in one game last week.

* * * Two overtime games Iʼll never

forget as a Red Wing fan are Steve Yzermanʼs double OT game-seven goal versus the St. Louis Blues in 1996, and a 2002 triple overtime

thriller the Wings won in game 3 of the Stanley Cup fi nal over the Caro-lina Hurricanes.

Detroitʼs winning goal came off the stick of Igor Larionov.

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

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

Who was the playoff MVP?

PETER CLARKPETER’S PUTTERINGS

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

Sydney, Michelle, Stuart and Bailey Smith appreciate the support they have received from fellow Calabogie residents and beyond.


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

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

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

Things went much better than planned, Allen said.

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

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

“We have had lots of sup-port from Michelle, her fam-ily and friends, and those who have never met her,” Allen continued.

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

The fi nal total raised is clos-ing in on the $9,000 mark.

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

The support was great, she added.

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

The organizers also thanked the Ontario Provincial Police and Greater Madawaska fi re-fi ghters.

“We appreciated them be-ing out there (directing traf-fi c). They were generous and surprised by the turnout. We also thank the fi refi ghters for their support. They looked after the parking,” Mulvihill said.

“It was amazing,” Mulvi-hill added of the overall event. “We defi nitely had a lot of positive feedback. It was a lot of fun.”

Friends’ fundraiser far exceeds expectations


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

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

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

“Iʼm really excited, but I am a little bit sur-prised. I knew I was ready for something big, but not to this extent,” said Bishop, who trains in Windsor, Ont., with coach Dennis Fairall.

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

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

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

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

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

What better way to cel-ebrate Motherʼs Day than with a hole in one.

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

To make it even more special, she was sur-rounded by her daughters and grandchildren.

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

Evelyn, who is “not a golfer” didnʼt even wit-ness it go in. As soon as she hit it, she turned away. However, her ex-citement hit high as it can be seen on Dragonfl yʼs Facebook page with her comment along with pic-ture “WHOoooEEE. That was fun!”

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

Hole in One for Mother’s Day

Ladies enjoy fi rst day on the courseKim Vandewouw and Lesley MurrayFrom the Ladies Tee

The golf season is in full swing at the Renfrew Golf Club with the fi rst Ladies Day taking place on Tues-day, May 1. Many thanks to Southern Breeze Tanning Sa-lon, our sponsor for the day.

The following players took home a prize:

A Flight Anne MacNeil (37 points), Gayle Miller (37), Kim McDonald (34); B Flight: Lois Butson (37), Colleen Sheehan (31.5); and C Flight: A.J. White (28).

Unfortunately, due to the poor weather conditions on May 8, Ladies Day which was sponsored by Colleenʼs Closet was cancelled. It will be rescheduled to a later date.

LADIES REC LEAGUE

As well, the fi rst night of the ever-popular Ladies Rec League took place on Wednesday May 2. Even though the weather condi-tions were not favourable, all teams gave their best effort and still managed to have a few laughs.

Closest-to-the-pin winners were Tracey MacKenzie and Nancy Saumure.

Diane Postma and Julie Bonsor were closest-to-the-line. Judi Gilmore and Angie McGregor won gift certifi -cates.

Since we also had poor weather conditions and threats of lightning on Wednesday, May 9, the Rec League was also cancelled.

After the second week of play, fl ights will be deter-mined, and prizes will be awarded. As teams win or lose they will change fl ights accordingly.

GOLF FOR THE CURE

The Golf for the Cure tournament is scheduled for Saturday, July 7. This event was so popular last year that it has now been changed to an 18-hole event, with the format continuing to be a team scramble.

Cost of the tournament is $60 per player, which in-cludes golf, cart, dinner, and donation. The entry fee is due no later than Wednesday, June 27.

Call out to the Pro Shop (613-432-2485 ext. 221) and reserve your spot. Single en-tries or team entries are both welcomed.

Other upcoming events at the Renfrew Golf Club that you should mark in your cal-endars are: The Sharpe Best Ball on Saturday, May 26; a ball fi tting clinic on Thurs-day, May 31; the Mardi Gras Fun Night on May 22; and the fi rst ladies tournament on Saturday, June 2.

Hope to see you all there!

Backed by a staunch defensive effort and two shutouts, the St. Josephʼs Jaguars scored two impressive wins in Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association senior girls soccer action last week.

Brittanee Mahusky earned her second shutout of the 2012 season in St. Josephʼs 2-0 win over the Madawaska Valley District Wolves May 8.

It was keeper Sarah Ennettʼs turn as she blanked the Arn-prior Redmen 1-0 the next day.

It was a great defensive effort by all, coach Renee Turcotte said.

Ashley Hume supplied all the offence the Jaguars needed by scoring all three goals.

The Jaguars topped Madawaska Valley 3-1 in senior boys action.

Josh Lamourie had two goals in the triumph. Peter Vice added the single.

Keeper Brett Riopelle backstopped the win.

JUNIOR ACTION

The Jaguar junior girls ran to a goalless deadlock with the Mackenzie Mustangs, and lost 4-1 to the Bishop Smith Cru-saders before ending a three-game day with a 3-1 win over the Fellowes Falcons May 10.

Candace Albanese scored St. Josephʼs fi rst goal of the day on a free kick versus Bishop Smith.

Sonya Bergin booted home a pair of markers and Madison Cobus a single as the Jaguars caught fi re to claim the victory over Fellowes.

Jesse Vaive went the distance between the pipes for the Junior Jaguars.

Her efforts included a shutout on a rainy, blustery day.“It looked like a bleak day up until the second half of the

third game,” coach Mike McMahon said. “Thatʼs when we got our three goals.” The Jaguars overcome a 1-0 halftime defi cit in the win over Fellowes.

Jocelyn Virgin and Alison Kasaboski led a day-long strong defensive effort for the Jaguars.

It was a tough day for the Jaguars in junior boys action. They were edged 1-0 by Bishop Smith, and also dropped a 3-1 decision to Jeanne-Lajoie and 5-1 to Fellowes.

Mid-Town Flooring overcame a 19-12 defi cit early in the second and went on to end Frances/Lemke Co-operators unbeaten streak, 33-27.

Maddie Kubiseski and Sarah Dougherty combined for 23 points for Mid-Town. Ev-elyn Grondin topped the Co-operators with eight points

The second half was all ReunionsThey used pin-point passing to dismantle

the Mid-Town Flooring defence and turn a 23-18 edge to a 46-27 win. Shari Hill controlled the boards for 14 points. Maddie Kubiseski led Mid-Town with 13.

The Reunions picked up their second vic-tory of the night when they out-pointed Dun-bar Petroleum 33-22. Seven players from

each team hit the scoresheet.Dunbar Petroleum must have enjoyed their

victory last week, because they added two more this week. Dunbar led Signature Styles 9-2 before hitting a slump and falling behind 17-13. Some fi ne shooting helped them come from behind to surpass Styles 31-25. Shannon McAndrew led all snipers with eight points in the second half.

A strong fi rst half left Dunbar with a seven-point lead (17-10) over Aikenheadʼs. Dunbar countered every second half run made by Aikenheadʼs, to preserve the victory, 34-28. Amanda Hoare and Allison Clarke topped their respective squads with nine points each.

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

Mid-Town snaps unbeaten streak of league leaders

Calling Tuesday baseball playersThe baseball season is nicely underway in

the Major Leagues, and the sound of bat on ball will be heard on Tuesday evenings in the towns of Renfrew and Arnprior soon.

Organizers are busy working on the Tues-day Night Recreation Baseball League with games again to take place at Ma-Te-Way Parkʼs Seeley Field, and in Arnprior Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m.

Renfrew teams the Legends and Rebels, and the Arnprior A̓ s and Bighorns invite com-mitted baseball players to come out and make the 2012 season another success. The league has been going on for a number of years, and it is hoped that trend can continue.

If interested in playing some recreational baseball one night per week, call Gord Pat-terson at 613-432-7701.

A May 10 story in The Mercury said for-mer Renfrew Collegiate Raider defensive back and punter Willie Sharpe had a workout with the CFL̓ s Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

Sharpe is now in Germany. The Tiger-Cats have requested that he keep in touch and send game tape because they liked what they saw in him.

Clarifi cation


Keith McDonald appreci-ates the support the commu-nity has always given him as he participates in the an-nual Walk for Canadian Guide Dogs at Ottawaʼs Andrew Hayden Park year after year.

This year, the Admaston-Bromley resident will be making his 16th walk, and third with guide dog Murphy, Sunday, May 27.

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

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

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

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

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

Again this year, all money raised from the fi ve-dollar nail clippings throughout the month of May at Precious Pets will go to support McDonald and Murphy in the 2012 Walk for Guide Dogs.

Keith McDonald and guide dog Murphy will be taking the Walk for Guide Dogs for the third time as a team. It’ll be McDonald’s 16th walk overall.

Jeff HeathValley Pride bantam girls basketball

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

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

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

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

This time the team was determined the out-come would be different.

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

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

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

A GOOD PRODUCT

“The amount of skill and talent on display is incredible and shows basketball is growing and thriving at the grassroots level in Ontario,” said Michael T. Cvitkovic, executive director of Ontario Basketball.

Other area teams that did well included the Goulbourn Hornets, who fi nished fourth in Division 3; the Nepean Blue Devils AA, who captured the Division 4 gold medal; and the Ottawa South team that fi nished fourth in Divi-sion 5.

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

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

The Raiders drew 1-1 against the Bishop Smith Cru-saders and Mackenzie Mus-tangs, and also battled to a goalless draw versus the Fel-lowes Falcons.

Bria Katsoulis and Josie-Lynn Diotte were RCI goal-getters.

Drew Shalla earned her sec-ond shutout of the week.

Coach Ed Oegema said Je-nika Steele, Kennedy Payton and Natalie Doering turned in solid performances throughout the day for RCI.

The senior girls overcame a 2-0 defi cit with goals from Adrianne Guty and Kristine Miller in the fi nal 10 minutes to secure a 2-2 tie with the Arnprior Redmen.

Guty tended goal in the fi rst half for RCI, and Brittany Go-din in the second.

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

Wyatt Zohr had two goals

and Dane Brumm a single for RCI.

The junior boys also blanked the Jeanne Lajoie

Chevaliers 4-0, but dropped 2-1 decisions to Bishop Smith and Mackenzie.

Skylar Kluke and Alex Be-

champ had RCI goals versus Bishop Smith and Mackenzie.

The Senior Raiders lost 2-0 to Arnprior.

Youʼve no doubt heard of a Poker Run.

Thatʼs a popular activity around the Ottawa Valley. Poker runs take place on mo-torcycles, dirt bikes, ATVs and snowmobiles and even by boat. But how about a Poker Walk?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

People Helping People at Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home SupportJennifer LaneProgram Support Assistant

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

This past month at Home Support we have been very busy with fundraising events. Our Trivia Night which was held in the lounge at the Wing was a great success. Ev-eryone who participated en-joyed themselves and left a little more knowledgeable and wanting to come to our next trivia night which we are hop-ing to hold in the fall.

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

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

Our 50+ Community Show-case was held on April 21st at the Renfrew Wing.

We had 30 vendors to help seniors and family members

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

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

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

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

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

Renfrew County and District Health Unit

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

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

This has signifi cant impli-cations for chronic disease indicators, and there is grow-ing concern that childhood in-activity is leading to increased obesity and obesity-related illness.

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

Adults need to be active too! Adults (18 years and old-er) need to be physically ac-tive for at least 150 minutes or two and half hours each week in order to achieve health ben-efi ts. Go to www.csep.ca/eng-lish/view.asp?x=804 to access the Canadian Physical Activ-ity Guidelines.

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

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

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

“The number is growing as the season ap-proaches, producers ̓ plans get fi rmer and the word is spreading.”

Vendors looking for more information, or to reserve a spot, should call Barrette at 613-628-2980. Customers can expect to fi nd farm fresh

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

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

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

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

Guarding the nest site in an Opeongo High School Forestry 2010 bird house.

A good year predicted for tree sparrows and bluebirdsJim and Ila:

I had a chance this Sunday to do a quick count on the tree swallow/blue bird boxes I have around the Eganville area. Of the 55 boxes, 41 have tree swallows in them and fi ve have bluebirds.

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

Last spring was cold and killed a few tree swallows. For the fi rst time I found some dead adult birds in nest boxes. We had some snow and cold a week or so back, but it didn’t seem as intense and drawn out and I don’t think it took the toll on the birds as the spring of 2011 did. Results are look-ing good so far. I will report again in late August with an up-date.

Ryan Hoelke

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

WHIP-POOR-WILLS

Good afternoon, Jim and Ila:The whip-poor-wills have

been busy at Springer’s

Mountain in Admaston/Brom-ley. Friday evening, May 6, there was a three-way shout-ing contest, among the birds. Ah, spring is here again.

Maureen and Len Springer

Steve, Rubylynn, Dannica, Kolton and Kale Osipenko heard whip-poor-wills calling this past week near their home in Horton. Steve said the birds seemed to be calling from several different directions. Female whip-poor-wills lay their eggs so that they hatch during the following full moon. The moths they catch to feed their young will easier to see. The birds hunt by sight not by sound.

Marlene Hanneman heard whip-poor-wills, red-eyed vir-eos and brown thrashers this week. These birds are some of the fi rst we learn to iden-tify by their calls and songs. The whip-poor-wills are not forgotten once heard at night. The red-eyed vireo is known

as a persistent singer; one closely observed individual gave its one-second scolding song 22,000 times in 10 hours. The brown thrasherʼs always different, two, sometimes three note songs are a delight to hear. They can also mimic the songs of other species.

INDIGO BUNTING

Ron Huntley heard and then saw the fi rst indigo bunting to return to his property in La-nark. Ron said he recognized the repeated two note phrases and shortly after the male ap-peared singing from the top of a low bush.

The sweet-sweet, zwet-zwet, swee-swee, call with the fi rst two phrases two notes higher than the second are very clear. Only the male sings. Females are very sel-dom seen because they do dis-play as the males do, and will fl ush from the nest and scurry away into the long grass.

SAPSUCKERS

Yellow-bellied sapsuckers have returned to Carol Mc-

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

WHITE-CROWNED

Sylvia Smith has white-crowned sparrows still at her feeder. This handsome bird has been used in experiments related to migration and ori-entation.

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

PARTIAL ALBINO

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

JIM FERGUSONSCENE FROM THE

HAWK’S EYE

feathers than raspberry red ones. The bird is bright red on the top of its head and on the wings. There are a few red feathers in the breast and tail as well. Vicki says the fi nch travels with the other purple fi nches and there does not seem to be any confl ict be-tween them.

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

her hummingbird feeder.During the next two weeks

we should see many of our summertime warblers arrive. Since most birds like sugar water, watch for some unusual visitors at your hummingbird feeders.

Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, RR 5, Renfrew, Ont., K7V 3Z8. Phone 613-432-2738 or email us at [email protected]

“Renfrew County is so di-verse and so multicultural and this is a great time to celebrate that,” said Madawaska Valley Mayor David Shulist.

Shulist is well-known local-ly and on a broader stage for his work with the Kashubian Heritage Society, promoting local Polish-Kashub culture and forging ties between Wil-no and the Madawaska Valley and offi cials and cultural ac-tivists in Poland, particularly in the Kaszëbë province.

“The Diversity Festival is a great idea,” says Shulist.

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

Wilno and Shulist just host-ed a very special visit from Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk. “Heʼs the fi rst Kashub to ever be elected to Polish of-fi ce,” said Shulist.

“As far as diversity goes, when you become Cana-dian and youʼve been here

for years, itʼs important to remember where you came from,” said Shulist.

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

In fact, he did not grow up knowing he was Kashub, but learned later about his culture and his people.

“Weʼre proud to be Cana-dian and proud of our roots,” said Shulist.

An example of promoting the areaʼs various diverse cul-tures, said Shulist, is the Ope-ongo Heritage Cup, a hockey tournament made up of teams from each of four main groups – Germans, Kashubs, Irish and Algonquins.

“Itʼs really a promotion of our cultures while playing Canadaʼs game,” said Shulist.

“We accept diversity, we accept multiculturalism,” he said.

For this summerʼs Diveristy Festival, Shulist will dress in Kashub gear and bring a re-lated information display and hopes to line up a musician known for playing Kashubian favourites. He will also fea-ture diversity festival com-mittee member Alana Emon on his radio program Radio

Kashubi on Heritage Radio in the next few weeks.

Shulist has worked tire-lessly to promote the Kashub culture and to improve his community, devoting his en-ergies to the development of the Heritage Park in Wilno, Canadaʼs fi rt Kashub settle-ment, and the restoration of the Opeongo Heritage Trail, which was largely responsible for bringing the fi rst settlers to the Madawaska Valley area.

The Festival kicks off Fri-day, July 6, with Dragonʼs Breath, a theatrical perfor-mance at 7 p.m. at Trinity-St. Andrewʼs United Church and the festival is Saturday, July 7, 9 a.m.- 4 p.m., at Renfrewʼs Low Square.

Dragonʼs Breath closes the

David Shulist

event with another showing 4 to 6 p.m. Dragonʼs Breath premieres June 30 at 7 p.m. in Almonte at the Old Town Hall Auditorium. For more in-formation or to sign up, email [email protected] visit us on Face-book at www.facebook/Diver-sityFestival.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Food vendors on site will include Spanky Spuds, Mar-giʼs (which is producing a motorcycle breakfast), Sledzz Smokin ̓ BBQ, Eganvilleʼs Finest Ice Cream, and Ren-frew Pizzeria.

One of Woitoʼs festival goals is to grow the barbe-cue competition into one of Canadaʼs best. Saturdayʼs event, sanctioned by the Ca-nadian Barbecue Association, will feature about 20 teams in the Chicken ʻn ̓ Rib Cookoff. CBA judges will determine the winners mi before distributing $1,000, $500 and $300 to the top-three fi nishers.

Saturdayʼs schedule will also be highlighted by the Legends of the Super Smash Demolition Derby. A total of $6,000 in prize money is up for grabs. Registration details for the four- and six-cylinder, eight-cylinder pro stock and eight-cylinder pro modifi ed classes are available at www.hogwildprokfestrenfrew.com

The derby starts at 1 p.m. There are also two motorcycle events Saturday, the Motor-cycle Show & Shine at 11 a.m. after registration gets under-way at 10 a.m. The motorcycle ride departs at 11 a.m.

The Indoor-Outdoor Recre-ation Vendor Show runs Satur-day and Sunday, as a showcase for recreational businesses and products in Renfrew County and the Pontiac Region.

Saturday includes what the festival is promoting as the largest pig roast in Ontario. Proceeds, which are by dona-tion, go to Upper Ottawa Val-ley Ringette.

Entertainment that night will be The Riley New Band, and The Hip Showʼs Tragi-cally Hip Tribute.

Sunday includes the Grass Hogs Lawn Tractor Racing at 1 p.m. The lawn tractor compet-itors may include entries from North Bay, Timmins, southern Ontario and Massena, N.Y.Charlie Major is the featured performer, after opening with Pembrokeʼs Gillan Rutz and the Entertainers.

Ryan, “our Son, our Moon, our Stars”You were definitely a gift sent straight from Heaven.Given to us from God above.We did not know how much you would teach us,About the meaning of true love...For true love sometimes means letting go,Of someone so precious and dear.That is what we were forced to do,Although we wanted to keep you here!!!

Ryan, in our hearts we truly believe,That God must have needed you more...To save lives or perhaps to be an Angel now,Full of wisdom and love,Watching over those of us who love you,From the shining stars above.We miss you more than you can ever know.You could never be replaced...In our hearts and memories forever,Will be your beautiful sleeping face.

Happy 26th Birthday in Heaven.

MILLAR, WillardIn memory of our dad and grandpa who passed away May 15, 1999.

They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal;But neither time nor reason,Will change the way I feel.For no one knows the heartache,That lies behind our smiles,No one knows how many times,We have broken down and cried.We want to tell you something,So there won’t be any doubt,You’re so wonderful to think of,But so hard to be without.

Love Beth and Family,Lisa and Family

Potter, Eileen (Rouble)May 19, 2010

The moment that you died,My heart spilt in two,

The one side filled with memories,The other died with you.

I take a walk down memory lane,With tears upon my cheeks,

Remembering you “Sis” is easy,I do it every day

But missing you is a heartache,That never goes away.

Life has gone on without you,But it will never be the same,

For those who still have a sister,Treat her with tender care,

You will never know the emptiness,As when you turn and she is not there.

Love Dear SisterLorna Eisen

It’s May again, and year number nine.And though we seem to be doing just fine.Our hearts still ache when we remember that dayThe phone call, the panic, “we’re on our way”Your friends were amazingYour co-workers the bestAs life’s worst nightmare came to give us the testThough life can be hard, You always would say, Don’t worry…relax…live life for today,So I try to remember those words in my headThe important things in life…is what you said…It’s family and friends, and trying new thingsIt’s forgiving and forgetting And dealing with whatever life bringsYou’ll never be forgotten, I promise you thisYou live on in my heart, so I let you go with a kiss

Born November 4th, 1929 Pool’s Cove Newfoundland passed away on May 5th, 2012 while on a weekend trip with his family; he was 82 years young.

It was a beautiful sunny day by the lake where he was having a great time surrounded by loved ones. Ben had a great love of life and while it’s very difficult for those left behind there is a great sense of peace that he passed surrounded by love and in such a beautiful place.

Welcoming him with open arms will be his parents; Job & Margaret, his brother Horatio & sister Margaret (Strong) and many other family & friends.

Ben left behind many loved ones including; his wife Gwenn & their children Lynda (Steve Cunningham), Brian (Diane), Kelly (Mark Houston) & Peter (Wanda) of Nova Scotia; Grandchildren: Kyle, Sara, Katie, Kory, Caleb, Cameron, and adoptive granddaughter Angelle.

Ben will also be sorely missed by his brother Eldred Bambury (Rose) of Newfoundland and many other friends & family far and wide.

Ben’s family would like to especially send love and thanks to all the people associated with the Grove Nursing Home in Arnprior, where he resided the last several years. “Crazy Legs” always raved about the people there! The job you do and the way you do it is incredible and so important!

Ben was a stubborn Newfoundlander who had Parkinson’s in the second half of his life and while it slowed him down (at times) it never stopped him! Donations to the Parkinson’s Society of Canada would be preferred (in lieu of flowers) by Ben & his family.

A celebration of Ben’s life will be held in Anrprior Ontario on Saturday June 9th, 2012 details TBD. Please visit www.legacy.com /memorial website under Ben Bambury; also a facebook page for further details and to share with his family.
