Bennett honoured at New Year leveeDavid Bennett shakes hands with Cheryl Gallant while receiving the commendation award last Saturday afternoon. He donated much time and resources to Horton Township’s community centre. For more on Saturday’s New Year’s Levee and awards ceremony, see page 2.

Liberals line up to challenge long-time incumbentDerek [email protected]

news – the liberal Party of Cana-da has up to five potential candidates vying to face off against sitting mP Cheryl Gallant in this year’s federal election.

the party has approved two nomi-nations, renfrew residents danny Janke and Jeff lehoux, and is consid-ering three others.

Brendan edge is an arnprior stu-dent attending mcGill university. rod Boileau, also from arnprior, was the liberals’ candidate in the riding in last year’s provincial election. Ja-cob St. John rounds out the contend-ers.

there is no timeline on when the liberals will have a candidate in place other than a statement saying it will be “in the next few months.” the riding association was scheduled to meet tuesday (Jan. 6).

Janke, who lives in renfrew, is a retired manager with 37 years service at the algonquin Forestry authority (aFa). He holds a masters of busi-ness administration from the univer-sity of ottawa, and has worked with government officials, business and communities affected by the forestry sector.

under his leadership, aFa recently won awards at both the national and provincial levels.

Janke and three siblings were raised in Pembroke by a single moth-er. He has been married to annette for 28 years. they have three chil-dren, plus Janke’s daughter from a previous marriage.

lehoux is a renfrew resident and war veteran with humanitarian expe-rience. He served almost 10 years in the Canadian military, including time as a medic in afghanistan.

returning as an injured (therefore retired) member of the military has given him first-hand knowledge of the emotional, physical, financial and other costs associated with Canada’s veterans. He says he would work to improve the veterans’ affairs depart-ment.

lehoux also did humanitarian work in Cameroon to improve infra-structure, even negotiating an agree-ment between two tribes to share water.

every paid-up member of the lib-eral riding association will be able to vote when the party elects its can-didate.

Gallant, the Conservative mP, has represented the renfrew-nipissing-Pembroke riding since 2001.

News – Three residents from Horton and Calabogie were honoured by the federal government prior to the annual levee by elected representa-tives on Jan. 3.

Stuart Nicholson and David Marshall Bennett of Horton, along with Calabogie’s Clay Dawdy, were named recipi-ents of the 2015 Member of Parliament Commendation. The glass-plated award for community voluntarism was presented by Renfrew-Nipiss-ing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant at the Cobden Agri-cultural Hall.

The award evolved out of the Queen’s Jubilee award where hundreds of area volun-teers were nominated but only a handful selected. Gallant said recognition, usually a sur-prise to the recipient, should be given to those who help build their community.

“We thought it was a good idea to give similar attention and praise to those who don’t expect any praise,” Gallant said. “They are the unsung he-roes of our communities.”

Nicholson was given his award for “his selfless acts of kindness toward others,” which was read out as he mounted the podium where Gallant awaited.

“He puts aside his own personal commitments to volunteer his time at Castl-eford United Church, Carp Fair, Food Grains Project, the Pakenham Curling Club, the Horton Community Centre, Shawville Cemetery, the an-nual Blue Grass Festival in Horton.

“He is a most humble, un-recognized gentleman who performs many good works,” concludes the description.

Nicholson, who lives in the Castleford area, is the father of renowned sledge hockey star Todd Nicholson. The proud father was convinced he was at the event for another award presentation to his son.

“It came as a complete sur-prise,” Stuart said. “I enjoy (volunteering). It’s a social thing for me. I get as much en-joyment out of it as anything.”

Todd was pleased the fam-ily could keep it a secret and noted his dad is a worthy re-cipient.

“I think it’s great. A real surprise for him,” said Todd, a member of the International Paralympic Committee board.

“He doesn’t think twice about helping out any mem-ber of the family or somebody else. He’s always been a huge supporter of the community and he’d be the last to ask for anything in return.”

Bennett’s description de-tails “selfless acts of generos-ity and goodness toward Hor-ton Township.

“The community centre was built in a large part with your company’s resources, which you donated the time and ma-chinery to the Horton Town-ship Community Centre.”

Bennett is also a township councillor, being elected Oct. 27 after a term on the side-lines.

Dawdy’s description fo-cused on his contributions to sport and military veterans.

“You are receiving the 2015 Member of Parliament Com-mendation due to your dedi-cation and commitment to the Adaptive Ski Program and Snowboarding Program.

“The Adaptive Ski Program and Snowboarding mission is

to enrich the lives of persons living with disabilities through adaptive skiing and snow-boarding.

“Clay seeks to enrich the lives of injured soldiers by or-

ganizing winter sports clinics for injured soldiers and veter-ans, including their spouses.”

Other recipients include kathy Haycock of eganville, Gwen Greenstock of Petawa-

wa, and Pembroke’s Blanche Mirault Ducey, Judith Ritchie, and Jean Maves. Haycock’s art work graced this year’s Ren-frew Victoria Hospital’s Tree of lights Christmas card.

Kimberley O’Shaugnessy, I Choose RVH campaign manager, John Wilson, Margaret Wil-son, Barb Desilets, RVH Foundation executive director, Chris Ferguson, RVH vice-presi-dent of patient care services, Teresa Enright and Kierstin Albert.

Wilson Financial & Friends for Charity event gives back to the community

community - friends, fam-ily and neighbours joined wil-son financial & friends for charity for their annual din-ner theatre event on novem-ber 29 at the renfrew recre-ation centre.

the sold-out evening was filled with laughter generated by the christmas play entitled “a snow white christmas” performed by the really cool initiatives theatre Group. in keeping with the theme of the evening, a traditional christ-mas turkey dinner was catered by the miss teen ontario east pageant organization.

J.s. wilson financial man-agement would like to thank everyone who was involved in

making this evening a wonder-ful success.

a total of $15,250 was raised at the event, which in-cluded personal donations, raffle ticket sales, a 50/50 draw, and a silent and live auc-tion of unique items donated by members of the local busi-ness community and corporate sponsors.

margaret and John wilson feel a great sense of pride in their hospital. Giving back to the community and rvh spe-cifically is very important to them.

“having a hospital that is there for the community 24/7, no matter what life challenges may present themselves, is so

important,” says John. “it’s also the largest economic driver in our region and we are grateful that it is a part of our community.”

funds raised at the event will benefit the i choose rvh campaign to support the larg-est expansion and redevelop-ment in the history of the ren-frew victoria hospital.

“it’s only with the ongoing support of such an outstand-ing community of donors that projects such as this are pos-sible,” notes barb desilets, rvh foundation executive director.

“we are grateful to the wil-son’s and all who supported their event,” she said.

Walk for Memories makes difference for families living with dementiaDebbie SetoAlzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County

community -walk for memories, ottawa’s premier indoor fundrais-ing walk, is the flagship fundraising event for the alzheimer society of ottawa and renfrew county.

fun for the entire family, it will be held on sunday, Jan, 25 in the carleton university fieldhouse. registration starts at 8 a.m. with the walk starting at 9 a.m. and the event ending by noon.

the goal this year as the walk for memories celebrates 20 great years in ottawa is $275,000.

proceeds raised stay in the local community to help families living with dementia.

the alzheimer society of ottawa and renfrew county provides sup-port, education and resources for people with dementia, as well as their families and caregivers.

form a team, or come out as an individual and join in the fun. ask your family, friends and colleagues to join you, or to sponsor your walk. to register, go to www.walk-formemories.ca.

for more information, visit www.alzheimer.ca/ottawa or contact [email protected] or phone 613-369-5627.

the walk for memories is a great opportunity to make a difference. dementia is difficult, but this event is something positive we can all do to reach out and help. who are you walking for?

Domestic disputes can affect children long term, says OPPnews - renfrew opp officers responded to

eight domestic disputes from dec. 21 to 28. one male was charged with assault while an-other male was charged with domestic mischief. every year in renfrew, numerous children are witnessing domestic disputes and violence in their homes. long term, many of these children will be involved themselves in domestic dis-putes and the cycle of violence will continue.

most experts believe that children who are raised in abusive homes learn that violence is an effective way to resolve conflicts and problems. they may replicate the violence they witnessed as children in their teen and adult relationships

and parenting experiences. boys who witness their mothers’ abuse are

more likely to batter their female partners as adults than boys raised in non-violent homes.

for girls, adolescence may result in the be-lief that threats and violence are the norm in relationships.

if you or someone you know is involved in an abusive relationship, help is available. call the bernadette mccann house for women at 1-800-267-4930, the opp at 1-888-310-1122, your local hospital, your doctor, or a trusted friend or family member. in an emergency call 9-1-1.

Admaston-Bromley handed out annual awards of achievement for 2014 at council’s final meeting of 2014 Dec. 18. In front row, from left, are Joan Reid, Keryl Banks and Savanna Enright. Standing are Dr. Craig Appleyard, Tom and Lynn Agnew, David Reid, Mayor Michael Donohue, Kim McIntyre, Agnes Lynch, and Betty and Alex Briscoe.

Peter [email protected]

news - It was a special evening for both admaston-Bromley Coun-cil and the township dec. 18 as many residents received outstanding achievement awards for their accom-plishments in 2014.

Mayor Michael donohue ad-dressed each recipient while he and clerk-treasurer annette louis pre-sented the awards.

“the township is not the people sitting around this table working in this building.

“the community are the people that comprise this township, that live in this township, that make it tick, that make it so wonderful, that make everybody want to live here,” the mayor said.

“these particular individuals to-night that we are honouring, have been recognized for other things and we certainly think that we should second those recognitions.”

• davdonest Farms: david and Joan reid’s family was awarded BMo honours as one of ontario’s top-10 farm families. the BMo ontario Farm Family awards were created to promote renewed urban-rural relationships and recognize outstanding ontario farm families who best represent the value of the family farmer.

the reid family farm has had five generations working the land, milk-ing cows and raising their children to be upstanding and shining examples of community spirited individuals, Mayor donohue said.

• Savanna enright 16 years old, daughter of Michael and leanne enright of douglas is a young entre-preneur who began her home based business, Chalk of the town, as one of the renfrew County’s summer company proprietors. Savanna was a regular vendor at the Cobden Farm-er’s Market selling her refurbished furniture pieces. She jokingly stated, “ I really like doing the refurbishing of furniture pieces, it’s better than

milking cows.” Savanna buys a lot of her furniture at auctions sales and her collection of pieces at one point filled the family garage and spilled over into the machine shed.

• kim McIntyre has been to Cuba a couple of times as a member of the Salvation army’s Mission Cuba 5 and previously Mission Cuba 3. every team member pays their own transportation to volunteer in planned projects, which this year included re-roofing three buildings, including a church that had its roof blown off during a hurricane.

kim had a chain and cross which she received for five years service at Quail Creek retirement home and she gave this to a woman named Mer-cedes with whom she had become great friends with during her trip. Mercedes was very overwhelmed and thankful of this selfless act of kindness.

“We should recognize that here, too,” Mayor donohue said.

• alex and Betty Briscoe cel-ebrated a century of farming in the Geographic township of admaston. W.t. Briscoe, alex’s grandfather was born in 1882 and raised on Cheese Factory road in northcote. W.t. Briscoe purchased the farm on Foy road from the Campbells in 1914 and raised six children with wife, Bella until he passed away in 1953. the farm was purchased by James thom after Bella passed away in 1965 and was bought by alex and Betty in 1988.

the Briscoes raised three chil-dren and strive to keep the family farm roots alive and flourishing. In 2004 alex and Betty purchased the neighbouring farm formerly owned by Jack and Sara Campbell. daugh-ter Melanie and husband travis live there and proudly continue the fam-

ily farming tradition.• dr. Craig appleyard was hon-

oured as one of the eight recipients of the ontario Medical association’s Glen Sawyer Service award. this award is presented to physicians who offer significant service to the ontar-io Medical association, the medical profession and the public at the com-munity level. Craig was recognized for rejuvenating the oMa’s local branch, the renfrew County Medical Society and being an active member of the oMa section on complemen-tary integrative medicine. He has also facilitated workshops on mus-culo-skeletal medicine as a trained peer presenter of the ontario College of Family Physicians.

• With 100 years of successful farming tradition in the Geographic township of Bromley is the agnew Family, tomlyn Farms. James agnew was born in County Cork, Ireland in

1842 and in 1856 his family immi-grated to Canada. His beginnings in Canada as an orphaned and penniless 14-year-old child make the accom-plishment of owing his own farm at the age of 27 a true inspiration of determination and hard work. an old saying goes: the first generation builds a business; the second gen-eration makes money; and the third spends it. But both the second and third agnew generations kept ex-panding. after 100 years, the agnew Farms in Pine Valley under tom and lynn agnew continues to progress and flourish.

• on June 18, 2014 agnes lynch was the worthy recipient of the Vol-unteer of the Year 2013 awarded by the ontario long term Care asso-ciation. a member of Groves Park lodge auxiliary, agnes is a fun loving, dedicated and hard working woman,. Her great sense of humour brings comfort and joy to all the resi-dents and staff.

Her giving spirit and wonderful sense of fun may be a legacy from her parents anna and anthony Van-Woezik who opened their home in the dutch Village of Helenaveen dur-ing the horrors of World War II to an abandoned Jewish boy.

• keryl Banks, with richard McPhail, operates a therapeutic riding Program at Victory Farm on Cheese Factory road. this program provides a welcoming, supportive environment to people living with disabilities and provides them the chance to experience the therapeutic benefits of horseback riding which brings them dignity, independence and integration. this wonderful pro-gram is a labour of love for keryl and her greatest reward is to see the smil-ing faces of both the participants and the wonderful volunteers who have opened their hearts to see this dream of keryl’s become a success.

“the support of the township means so much to us,” Banks said.

“We started in 2012 with six riders and 2014, we had 36 riders, and we have a wait list for next year.”

Numbers way up at Knights’ Christmas dinnerThe annual Renfrew Knights of Columbus free community Christmas dinner was another success. Brian Long reports that numbers were way up from the 200 average as 305 meals were served between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Christmas Day. A dedicated team of about 50 volunteers prepared, served and delivered the meals. From 50 to 60 people dined in the Knights’ hall on Raglan Street. Above, a grateful guest is served by, from left, Laura Coyne, Christine Coyne, Marilyn Johnston and Cathy Black.

In 2015, brighten the lives of others in your community. Volunteer with

or contribute to one of the many charitable organizations in Renfrew

and area. You can make a difference.

Sporting his festive reindeer hat, Father Kerry Brennan and Don Goulet greet guests. At right, Leona Raymond and Suzanne La-chambre pack up some sweet treats for the take-out orders.

John Yakabuski chats with constituents at the annual levee hosted by the MPP and his federal counterpart, MP Cheryl Gallant.

Derek Dunn/MetrolanD

Derek [email protected]

news – local military veterans are receiving the attention they deserve from the federal gov-ernment, Cheryl Gallant suggested Saturday.

the renfrew-nipissing-Pembroke MP was at the annual new Year’s levee she co-hosts with her provincial counterpart John Yakabuski, held this year at the Cobden agricultural Hall. She listed the highlights of 2014, and included among them several treatment programs that benefit soldiers at Garrison Petawawa in her riding.

“From the ones we’ve heard from they’ve told me they are receiving exemplary care,” Gallant said. “It’s not always as timely as we’d all like. But if there is any obstacle we can in-tervene on their behalf.”

two days after her Jan. 3 comments, Julian Fantino, the federal veteran affairs minister, was replaced. He had been under intense fire from veteran groups for several months.

last week, the auditor general laid bare new problems with the department’s efforts to treat veterans suffering chronic mental health issues, saying those seeking help faced long waits that threatened their recovery.

Fantino was replaced by erin o’toole, a southern ontario MP and former member of the royal Canadian air Force.

GALLANT TO RUN

Gallant also said she intends to run in this year’s election, scheduled for oct. 19.

“there is still much to be done and I am the best person for the Conservatives to meet the needs of people in renfrew-nipissing-Pem-broke,” she said.

the veteran politician will face one of five liberal nominees for that party’s candidacy, along with a yet-to-be named nDP candidate.

among Gallant’s accomplishments last year was her private members’ Bill C-462 - the Dis-ability tax Credit Promoters restrictions act - receiving royal assent.

“this legislation will help ensure that dis-abled Canadians, veterans, caretakers and guardians receive the financial support they de-serve, instead of fuelling a cottage industry that feeds off the misery of others,” she said when it passed in the spring.

She was also pleased to help link arnprior seniors with services in their area during a fall event she hosted.

YAKABUSKI ON ENERGY

renfrew-nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski co-hosted the levee, which saw more than 100 constituents brave a snowstorm to at-tend.

He said 2014 was bitter-sweet for him; his Progressive Conservatives having lost the elec-tion that saw the chief whip convincingly win

another term in office.Yakabuski looks forward to the party select-

ing a new leader in May. Meanwhile, as energy critic, he will continue to hammer the liberals over spending on renewable sources. that is also the most important local issue, he said.

“the big issue this year is the lack of prog-ress doing something about skyrocketing en-ergy bills,” he said. “the lack of action has a lot of people frustrated.”

on the much talked about wrangle between Premier kathleen Wynne and Prime Minister Stephen Harper, the local MPP sides with the federal government.

He said the liberal leader takes every oppor-tunity to criticize Harper, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise when a year passes without him agreeing to meet her.

Wynne has long maintained the federal gov-ernment takes much more money from ontario than it gives back. She demanded a meeting with the prime minister to correct the imbal-ance. Harper relented on Jan. 5, agreeing to a meeting.

Yakabuski said the funding system in place is a progressive tax system, meaning those with more are expected to contribute more, just like the personal tax system. that is why ontario contributes more than in gets in return.

Besides, he added, getting another $600 mil-lion out of the federal government is not going to do much to address the $12.5-billion provin-cial deficit.

Don’t be boring in 2015Opinion - In a world filled with uncertainty, one

thing is certain for 2015. There will be a federal election.

And the national, non-partisan, youth-led chari-table organization Apathy is Boring is already busy trying to mobilize young people to get out and vote.

In early December the group issued a press re-lease noting that in the 2011 federal election, only 38.8 per cent of Canadians aged 18 to 24 voted, continuing a long-term downward trend.

“If this issue isn’t addressed, in a generation, Canada will become a country where the major-ity of citizens don’t vote,” the Dec. 3 news release said.

On Nov. 28 Apathy is Boring gathered its Council on Youth Electoral Engagement to discuss youth mobilization.

The CYEE, chaired by Jean-Pierre Kingsley (former chief electoral officer of Canada, 1990-2007), shared their expertise with Apathy is Boring to help create an ambitious 2015 federal election

campaign focused on informing and motivating youth to vote, the release said.

Apathy is Boring will be creating how-to vote guides that are visually compelling, informative, and offer youth the answers they want to know about the voting process, and a video public ser-vice announcement featuring inspiring Canadian stories of democracy and civic engagement.

The group also plans walk-to-the-polls events in major cities across Canada on voting day, and reg-istration drives through what it calls proven peer-to-peer strategies.

“The issue of youth electoral engagement is something that affects all Canadians. The integrity of a strong democracy is only as affective as the rate of participation. I’m proud to be supporting Apathy is Boring’s efforts to engage young Cana-dians,” says Kingley.

The right to vote is a precious thing and every Canadian owes it to himself or herself, and to fu-ture generations, to ensure the election process is practiced, respected and protected.

lEttErS to tHE Editor

Taking aim at your friends and neighboursTo the editor:

Opinion - An article in the Renfrew Mercury December 25, 2014 entitled “Who to call if you have a concern about firearms” could raise some problems.

It’s always good to be reminded of our safety obligations with respect to firearms.

However, let me quote one paragraph in the article – “If you have firearms in your home, or if you’re visiting someone who does, Smith ad-vises you to make sure safe storage practices are in place. The Canadian Firearms Program has a toll-free number you can call to discuss any safety concerns related to firearms.”

One can interpret this article as snitching on your friends or neighbours should you observe in your estimation unsafe storage of firearms and ammunition.

I can see a scenario now where someone en-ters your home and feels that it’s their responsi-bility to ask if you are a firearm owner.

This visitor would ask to see the storage ar-eas to pass judgement based on this article as to whether the owner is in compliance with the

firearms laws/regulations.Based on this visitor’s judgement (who may

not be a firearm owner or who has never passed the Canadian Firearms Safety Course), the ar-ticle advises to call the Canadian Firearms Pro-gram or “call 911” or your local emergency Po-lice number.

I would like to stress that all legal firearm owners must take training and/or pass the Cana-dian Firearms Safety examination, in addition to being security screened, before they can acquire a Possession and Acquisition licence (PAL). The mandate for this training in the province of Ontario is the Firearm Safety Education Service of Ontario overseen by the Chief Firearms Of-ficer of Ontario. Furthermore, the RCMP has the mandate for Canada. This article written by the Canada Safety Council insinuates that it has the mandate for firearms safety training and the is-suance of firearms licences.

The whole tone of the article in question smacks of a Liberal or NDP mentality.

To the editor:Opinion - Having read the recent edito-

rial (Generosity wonderful, but governments should help too, January 1, 2015) I wish to convey two ideas: first of all, when we point the finger at government we are only point-ing at ourselves; and, secondly, community-service organizations exist precisely because there is only so much a government can do.

If you must point a finger at the govern-ment, the people we elect can only pull on certain levers to bring change. The govern-ment could redistribute resources (funding) allocating more to the non-profit organiza-tions you identify. Or, the government could

impose higher taxes on all of us, to provide more funds to the organizations you claim are in need.

But, that lever-pulling and the redistri-bution of resources will only expose other “have-nots” who will then cry for more fund-ing; a vicious circle indeed. Higher taxes will have a more negative impact on mid- to lower-incomes – the very segments of society from which are drawn the majority of volun-teers. In response to higher taxes, they will work even harder, meaning less time to vol-unteer for the organizations you identify. Yet another vicious circle.

In summary, the government is us. Those we elect make hard decisions distributing our limited resources amongst all the important needs. If they don’t get it right, we need to tell them, sometimes

via the electoral process. More of-ten than not they heed our pleas and tweak the distribution scheme.

Where needs are not met, society – us – steps in. According to Alexis de Toqueville, we have been doing so since the late 1700s in North Ameri-ca. Specifically, when government resources are not enough to cover all of the needs, society comes together, forms non-profit organizations, and we help ourselves and our fellow citi-zens.

Now, if you still feel something’s not right, then it’s time to look inward. You might then notice we’re not vol-unteering as much as we used to. We don’t care for each other as much as we used to. More and more of us are suffering because fewer of us are step-ping up to the plate to pitch in where the need is greatest. You only need to read the outstanding work of Robert D. Putnam (Bowling Alone, 2000) to realize how desperate some segments of society are, and how little it seems we are able to do.

By no means am I suggesting we are a lazier generation. By no means am I suggesting we are less caring. By no means am I saying we are less gen-erous. What I am saying is that there are a lot more things going on that get in our way. Some might say the gov-ernment taxes us too much, and this explains why we toil away at jobs for

much less than those who came before us. Some might say we are not as healthy, and point to the epidemic of obesity as a sign. Some might say we are increasingly burdened with other ail-ments affecting family members, like autism, cancers, dementia, Alzheimer’s and more – all of which suck the life energy out of an increas-ing number of home-based caregivers.

For these and many other reasons, our gen-erations are more and more challenged to find the time and energy to devote to these impor-tant community organizations. For those who now manage these organizations I believe they would wish to emphasize how related changes to municipal, provincial and federal legislation have made non-profit management so much more difficult for them. If there is one area gov-ernments can help, legislative support would be it. Finally, the lines between the for-profit sector and the not-for-profit sector have been blurring over the past few years; competition is fierce, and this, too, makes it extremely difficult for volunteers to manage these not-for-profit

organizations.Let me end on a good note: on page 20 of the

same issue of the Renfrew Mercury you covered a wonderful and entirely relevant story reflect-ing on the outstanding work being done at the RCAF Association 433 (Champlain) Wing. The Wing and its volunteers had generated $44,500 in donations for 2014, and many local organiza-tions clearly benefited from such philanthropy. However, I can recall many years ago, the Mu-nicipality of Renfrew waived property taxes for the Wing, for 10 years. I’m not sure if that deal has yet expired, but I am certain that “govern-ment” decision was helpful. Perhaps this means all of the organizations who benefited from 433 (Champlain) Wing’s generous donations also need to express their gratitude to the Renfrew Town Councils past and present. The individual members of 433 Wing who volunteer of their time and energy do indeed deserve a tremen-dous vote of thanks, too.

Response to “Prevent the Spread of Invasive Species”To the editor

Opinion - The Invasive Spe-cies Act is a silly idea. The con-cept of invasive species is not an ecological concept rather an economic-political one based on a lack of understanding of the natural history of the organ-isms around us.

Here is a short list of alien spe-cies - chicory from the Mediter-ranean, Queen Anne’s lace from Britain, apple trees from Central Asia. Many meadow plants are alien like purple clover, butter-cup, daisies, yarrow and golden rod. These have become part of our life as food, medicine and beauty. Alien animals include starlings, honey bees, and earth-worms. Brown trout came from Germany, rainbow trout from the Rocky Mountains. Human activity has brought coyotes and

white tail deer displacing grey wolves and moose.

Camels evolved in North America but bedouins are not trying to eradicate them nor are we trying to reintroduce them to North America as was done with horses by the Spanish. Go back and rewatch the film Juras-sic Park as the mathematician tries to explain through chaos theory that nature always finds a way to ‘break out.’

The Invasive Species Act makes the following three as-sumptions which have proven to be incorrect.

1). “The environment is con-stant. Therefore the present complement of species should remain constant.”

The study of nature reveals that it is far more dynamic than we could ever imagine.

If nature was static then there would not be any life on the Galapagos Islands which were volcanic in origin, as are the islands of Hawaii and Iceland where every species is invasive, including the Polynesian and Vikings ancestors.

During the late Carbonifer-ous and Permian Periods low-lands were repeatedly invaded by forests which were subse-quently killed as sea levels rose. This occurred at least 100 times. The forests killed during the late Paleozoic form today’s major coal deposits in cyclotherms throughout the world, thanks to those invasive three species.

2). “We humans are bio-logically wise enough to know which species should be al-lowed to survive.”

The introduction of species

goes hand in hand with species extinction. No animal changed the history of North America more than the reintroduced horse through agriculture and warfare. We are also responsible for the extinction of mastodons and woolly mammoths at the same time we were killing off all the horses.

With a species extinguished, every Grade 9 student knows (or should) that ecological niche has been vacated and something will move in to fill the void. But predicting which species will become established is impos-sible. Homo Sapiens, 15,000 years ago, could not have pre-dicted that killing off mastodons and horses would allow bison to become invasive throughout Central North America.

InvasiveContinued from page 9

Alien species which do not become established fail to do so because the ecological needs of that species are not being met. On a small scale, those new tropical fish or gar-den plants may die because the pH of your well water or soil is incorrect.

3). “Invasive Species will result in devastation and eco-nomic hardship.”

Examine all the ‘scary’ in-vaders the media has warned us about. The Japanese long horn beetle, emerald ash borer,

purple loose strife, spruce bud worm, and Dutch elm disease. These alien invaders make a big splash in the media and then they disappear. That is exactly what happens in na-ture. They become part of the natural landscape. I’ve lived with all of these organisms for over three decades and my landscape still has spruce, elm and ash trees.

Sea lampreys and zebra mussels were going to dev-astate the Great Lakes. It has not happened. We did far more eutrophic damage by dumping sewage and fertilizer into the lakes from both sides

of the border, but we would rather blame little clams rath-er than take responsibility for our actions. In actual fact, the zebra mussels, as filter feed-ers, have helped the clarity the Great Lake waters which has increased native gastropod populations by rectifying the turbidity and nutrient excess caused by our effluent.

What does tend to happen initially, for an alien species that finds an open niche, is an ‘overpopulation’ locally for a period of time but eventually a new population equilibrium is established because there are limited resources in any eco-

system, which becomes the limiting factor for any ‘over-population.’ The only way an invasive population can con-tinue to expand is by import-ing those resources which are limited in its immediate vicin-ity. We can process economic trade, and the globalization of trade means the globalization of both alien species and dis-ease organisms, i.e. west Nile virus. It is ironic that econom-ic trade is responsible for the redistribution of most alien species.

There is only one species which has been able to over-exploit all ecosystems to its

advantage with devastating results for other indigenous life forms and that is us. We are the most invasive species of all! We originated in East Africa. Perhaps the world would be a better place if we had stayed there, but that is not how immature works. We are the best example of how impossible it is to prevent in-vasive species.

When an alien species has become ‘invasive’, i.e.: Tree snakes on Guam or rabbits in Australia. It becomes un-likely that they can be totally eradicated. We only seem to be able to cause the extinction

of organisms we want to save; i.e. the passenger pigeon.

Wouldn’t it be refreshing if politicians, bureaucrats and the media learned a little natu-ral history so their good inten-sions would have a sound bio-logical basis. Then I’d be less suspicious of such legislation as just ‘smoke and mirrors’ to avoid dealing with the re-ally important contemporary issues.

At this time of year, I’d bet that even Santa is responsible for introducing reindeer fleas around the world.

Opinion - In a Dec. 31 statement, Prime Minister Stephen Harper highlighted some of the government’s major accomplishments in 2014:

“I am proud of what our govern-ment has achieved for hard work-ing Canadians and their families in 2014.

“Our government announced measures that will put considerable money back in the pockets of Ca-nadians through the doubling of the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit and making it refundable, the Family Tax Cut, the increased and expanded Universal Child Care Benefit, and the greater Child Care Expense De-duction limits. In fact the average benefit to Canadian families of mea-sures announced in 2014 will be over $1,100 per year.

“Through major infrastructure ini-tiatives under the New Building Can-ada Fund and other infrastructure ini-tiatives/investments, the government is committing billions of dollars to support projects in communities across the nation – including roads,

bridges, transportation networks, air-ports, and rail service – generating tens of thousands of new jobs.

“The conclusion of free trade ne-gotiations with both the European Union and Korea, together with sub-

stantial efforts to boost job training, Canada’s digital connectivity and research, innovation and the com-mercialization of ideas will also help generate job growth in Canada for years to come.

“We continued to live within our means, staying on course towards eliminating the deficit and promoting efficiencies so that we are on track, as promised, to balance the budget in 2015.

“Our government also took signif-icant measures this year to promote the safety and security of families both at home and abroad.

“In Canada, we introduced ground-breaking legislation which will ensure that innocent victims of crime have clear rights in our judi-cial system and tougher penalties for child predators. In the aftermath of the deadly attacks on Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent and Corporal Nathan Cirillo and on Canada’s Parliament, we have also begun work to ensure our laws and policing powers are strengthened.

“On the international front, we took a strong stance against Rus-sian military aggression and expan-sionism in Ukraine. Canada is also contributing to the fight against the terrorist group known as the Islamic

State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), which threatens not just the Middle East, but Canada.

“We continued to lead global ef-forts in promoting the health of women and children in develop-ing countries, including by hosting the highly successful Saving Every Woman,

“Every Child: Within Arm’s Reach Summit in Toronto, in May, where Canada further committed to improving the health of mothers and children from 2015 to 2020.

“Our government also continued to strongly support Israel’s legiti-mate right to defend itself against those who would do it harm. I had the chance to deliver this message in person during a historical appear-ance before Israel’s Knesset in Janu-ary, which was a deep honour.

“In the new year, our government will continue to build on the remark-able achievements of 2014 with a view to delivering the prosperity, safety and well-being that Canadians deserve.”

McNab/Braeside Township TimesBE PREPARED! PLAN FOR AN EMERGENCY.

The people of Ontario have faced all kinds of emergencies, from ice storms and power outages to tornadoes and industrial accidents. We will face more in the future. Emergencies can strike at any time, and being prepared is critical since it can take time for help to arrive. Everyone should have an emergency plan and a kit to take care of themselves for at least three days. Your emergency plan should re� ect your personal circumstances and unique needs.

In an emergency, you may not have access to everyday conveniences, and you may be asked to evacuate your home. Thinking about what you would do is the � rst step to being pre-pared. You should prepare an Emergency Plan.

Your Emergency Plan should include:Two safe locations in case you have to leave your home. One should be nearby, such as a local

library or community centre. The other one should be farther away, outside your neighbour-hood, in case the emergency a� ects a large area.

A family communication plan. During an emergency, local telephone lines and networks may not work. Identify one or two out-of-town contacts you and your loved ones can call to con-nect and share information.

A list of the people in your personal support network. This includes all the people who will be able to help when you need it. Consider including family members, neighbours, and health-care and personal support workers.

For more information on how to Be Prepared! please contact your local Emergency Management Coordinator at [email protected] or visit

New Renfrew A&W Restaurant making its mark on O’Brien RoadPeter [email protected]

news - When’s the last time you enjoyed your burger with a frosted mug of root beer?

Unless it was in the past month, it wasn’t in renfrew.

But since dec. 3, you need only drive out to o’Brien road where renfrew’s newest restaurant, the much-popular a&W, is there to greet you.

It is also the first food establish-ment visitors will lay eyes on as they drive in the east end of renfrew, lo-cated next to the Canadian tire gas bar at 1050 o’Brien road.

“It’s been ridiculously busy,” as-sistant manager Cole eady said of the first month of operation.

Staff members are doing well, learning the ropes, he added.

“It’s been a learning experience for everyone. everyone’s new here. It’s taken some time to adjust.”

Many of the people working at a&W are local, eady added.

He said it’s good to see the fran-chise open a store between ottawa and Pembroke.

“It’s nice to have it here. It’s been a long time coming. the owners have had this lot for (about) three years

now before it even developed into something.”

renfrew’s is the second a&W in renfrew County, the first being in Pembroke.

others are planned for arnprior and Petawawa in the next couple of years, said director of a&W franchise sales in ontario ken reynolds.

It hasn’t taken long to decipher what customers find the most popu-lar.

“the teen is our most popular burger,” eady said.

another popular combo is root beer and onion rings.

“on opening day, people are wait-ing in drive thru like 40 minutes just for rings. there are not many places in town that have them, especially at a good price.”

Canadian tire real estate Inc. owns the property where the 1,862-square foot renfrew a&W franchise is located.

the drive thru accommodates sev-en vehicles, while there is additional parking for those eating in the restau-rant.

the renfrew a&W is open from 6 a.m. to midnight seven days a week.

With more than 800 franchises, a&W is the second largest fast-food, burger chain in Canada.

Almonte General Hospital welcomes New Year’s baby from RenfrewKelly [email protected]

News – It’s a girl!Little Addison Phinney, who was

the first baby born at the Almonte General Hospital in the new year, is the fourth addition to a family of girls. Parents Ashley Miller and Chad Phinney already had three daughters – Ciera, 6, Dakota, 4, and Kallie, 3, - when Addison was born, leaving dad the sole male in the house.

“Except the dog,” joked Miller, “that’s why the dog is a boy. So he’s

not so isolated.”Addison was born at 2:07 p.m. on

Jan. 1, which is fairly late in the day for a new year’s baby, but actually early for Miller, who wasn’t expect-ing the baby until Jan. 22.

“We never thought she would be a new year’s baby,” Miller said. “It’s kind of fun, though, knowing she was the first one born in 2015.”

In the first few hours of her life, Miller says Addison seemed to be adjusting well to her new surround-ings.

“She’s the easiest baby ever,” she

said, laughing. “She hardly ever cries, but we’ll have to see if that sticks af-ter we get her home.”

Since Miller and Phinney live in Renfrew, Addison’s three older sis-ters had yet to meet their new sibling when Mercury sister newspaper the Canadian Gazette visited, but Miller says they were excited to have anoth-er friend to play with.

Four daughters, though, is all Phin-ney said he could handle.

“We won’t be having any more, I don’t think,” he said. “Having five girls in the house is enough.”

At 2:07 p.m. on Jan. 1, the Almonte Gen-eral Hospital welcomed their first baby of the new year, Ad-dison Phinney. Addison is the fourth daughter of Ashley Miller and Chad Phin-ney of Renfrew.

Bullying Awareness Week Celebrations

community - Bullying is defined as a form of repeated, persistent and aggressive behaviour directed at an individual or indi-viduals that is intended to cause (or should be known to cause) fear and distress and/or harm to another person’s body, feelings, self-esteem or reputation.

Bullying occurs in a context where there is a real or perceived power imbalance.

every november, the third sunday marks the beginning of Bullying awareness and Prevention Week. students and staff at our Lady of Fatima catholic school participated in a variety of activities to learn more about bullying and its effect on student learning and well-being.

at our Lady of Fatima catholic school, everyone was thinking PInK from Monday, nov. 17 to Friday, nov. 21.

the goal of the week was to “end bully-ing by becoming more Peaceful, Inclusive, noble and Kind.”

staff and students started the week with a school-wide prayer service that celebrated the joy of being a community that comes to-gether in the name of Jesus.

the reading, from the Gospel of Mat-thew, speaks to being the light of the world and sharing our light with the world.

students who were “caught in the act” being PInK (Peaceful, Inclusive, noble, and Kind) were presented with a pink book-mark as an expression of gratitude.

the bookmarks were then posted in a visible area to identify to others the amaz-ing number of students who display PInK characteristics.

Friday marked ‘Wear Pink for Peace and Prosperity day’. everyone, in the rccdsB, was invited to wear pink and make a dona-

tion to the children’s poverty action network (cPan). each class was given a “creativ-ity challenge” that was to create: a public service announcement, a wanted poster for a PInK person, or a skit, dance or visual display that best depicted the PInK phi-losophy.

the grade 7 class, with the help of Miss Jessica Belanger, created an amazing dance and drama presentation which showed their leadership and truly made the PInK mes-sage memorable for all students. the prin-cipal, Mrs. armstrong, also led an interac-tive presentation in which students heard bullying experiences from ytV celebrities like cody simpson and selena Gomez, in-stilling the message that bullying knows no economic or social boundaries. Bullying af-fects everyone!

It was an inspiring week at oLF and one students will not soon forget.

Highland dancers delight audience at holiday recital

Dancers from Campbell Academy of Highland Dance entertained family and friends during a Decem-ber recital at the Renfrew Recreation Centre. Paula Campbell, Director and Instructor held the recital to celebrate and showcase some of the dances learned during the fall session. Children from three to 10 years of age took to the stage to kick up their heels and the entire group ended the evening with a live-ly dance. Pictured during a dance are, above, Maya O’Ryan, while Marley Taber, at right, bows at the end of one of her dances.

Dove Day at Renfrew Recreation Centre

Mackenzie Scerba and Sarah May-otte recently attended Dove Day at the Renfrew Recreation Centre. The day revolved around games and activities specifically designed for their age group. After complet-ing some holiday decorations, they undertook a tie dye project. The girls are pictured before the bright and beautiful colours filled the table and turned shirts, pillow-cases, towels and shoelaces into multi-coloured masterpieces.

Community – It’s the hottest ticket around. That’s right; tickets for the 2015 Winter Fire Ball Fundraising Gala, hosted by the McNab-Braeside Firefighters As-sociation are on sale now. The gala will take place on Saturday, Feb. 14 at St. John Chrysostom Parish Hall at 295 Albert St., Arnprior, with entertainment by the popu-

lar band Ambush. The Fire Ball is open to everyone, not just those in the fire service and serves as a fundraiser for the service.

“We wanted to get the entire commu-nity involved in this,” said co-organizer O’Rourke. “I don’t know a single woman who doesn’t like to get dolled up in a gown for one night. This year the Gala falls on Valentine’s Day so a ‘Love is in the Air’ theme is what we are going for. We are making it very easy for the husbands to

figure out what to do for their sweethearts on Valentine’s Day.”

Tickets cost $45 each and the goal of the event is to raise funds for the depart-ment to purchase additional equipment.

“With last year’s funds we were able to purchase SCBA mask bags for each fire-fighter for their new equipment, which we received when the department pur-chased our new breathing apparatus,” said O’Rourke. Tracey Climo from Mel’s

Flowers and Decorating is once again on board as the decorator and Chef Randy Paulen is the caterer. Cocktails start at 6 p.m. and dinner is at 7 p.m. and there will be live and silent auctions. Tickets can be bought at Mel’s Flowers and Decorating at 291 Elgin St. W., MacPherson Plumbing and Heating at 106 Daniel St. N. and Bo-sa’s Cabinets at 198 Russett Dr. For more information, call 613-286-0884 or Karen Barsoski, co-organizer, at 613-290-2017.

OPP Festive RIDE East Region and Renfrew results are innews - the ontario provincial po-

lice (opp) Festive r.i.d.e. (reduce impaired driving everywhere) cam-paign began nov. 24 and ran until jan. 2, 2015.

during this five-week period, east region opp officers conducted 2,308 Festive ride initiatives.

during the campaign, opp of-ficers in east region charged 87 people with impaired, over 80 or re-fusal to provide a sample compared to 116 during the ride campaign in 2013/14.

unfortunately, opp officers in east

region issued 105 three, seven or 30-day driver’s licence suspensions compared to 96 in in the 2013/14 campaign.

in the renfrew detachment area, two people were charged with im-paired driving, over 80mgs or refusal to provide a sample.

officers locally set up 189 Festive ride spot checks on area roads and issued three licence suspensions of three, seven or 30 days.

“irresponsible motorists continue to drive while impaired by drugs and/or alcohol and the carnage and

harm they can cause is impossible to calculate. the opp will continue to conduct ride programs throughout the region on any day, at any time throughout the year,” said chief su-perintendent daniel redmond, re-gional commander, east region.

the opp is calling on everyone to stop impaired driving and to discour-age others from doing so.

if someone you encounter insists on driving impaired, call 911 in order for the police service of jurisdiction to respond and take the driver off the road before someone is harmed.

Lifestyle - The annual Christmas Bird Count, known as the CBC, is al-ways a success because it is an opportunity for all interested people to enjoy a day outside counting the birds or counting the ones they have been feeding all fall.

This year the number of species was down by two from 43 to 41, but the number of individual birds counted was up by 236 from 4,010 to 4,246.

There were six field teams covering the count circle which has a radius of seven and a half miles (12 km) from the post office in Renfrew.

There were 48 people that counted the birds at their feeders.

The top 10 birds counted were: snow bunting 1,440, wild turkey 467, Ameri-can crow 463, blue jay 392, black-capped chicka-dee 389, rock pigeon 285, American goldfinch 263, common redpoll 141 and the common raven 109.

A rare northern gos-hawk, a new species, was added to our count for the first time.

Three new records were set: nine bald eagles were seen, including two im-mature birds. Six were counted in 2012; 26 white-crowned sparrows were counted, upsetting the old record of 14 set in 2000.

The common raven, with 109 birds counted; set a new record, up from the old one of 59 set in 2000.

A single great blue heron stayed longer than it should have but single birds were also counted in 1996, 2004 and 2011.

One Cooper’s hawk, one northern goshawk, five rough-legged hawks, nine

red-tailed hawks and nine bald eagles were counted, all rare and interesting birds to see.

Game birds were down from previous years pos-sibly due to a difficult nest-ing season. Only five ruffed grouse and 21 gray par-tridge were in the count.

Mourning doves and rock pigeons were up from last year with 228 (177 last year) for doves and 285 (203 last year) for the pi-geons. Two snowy owls were the only owls seen on the count.

Three species of wood-pecker were seen. The four pileated woodpeckers were down from six last year, the hairy variety with 53 was up from 34 last year and the downy variety was down to 44 from 46 last year.

The five horned larks, a rarity in December, were well down from the record of 24 birds set in 2004.

The clever ones – com-mon crows, common ra-vens and blue jays – were well represented this year. The blue jays with 392 birds counted was fourth in the count, the crows with 463 were third for the sec-ond year in a row and the ravens with 109 set a new record and were tenth in the count.

The ever familiar black-capped chickadee was fifth with 389 birds, up from 229.

The creepers – white-breasted nuthatch, red-

breasted nuthatch and the brown creeper with 77, 11 and three respectively – were close to average for these species.

The four golden-crowned kinglets were av-erage for this species.

The poor fruit crop re-duced the number of Bo-hemian waxwings down to 12 from 639 set in 2008 when the fruit crop was well above average.

The 81 European star-lings that were included were very low compared to the thousands that were seen in early November.

In 1989, the second year of the count, 524 house sparrows were counted, the 29 counted this year in-dicates the sharp decline in numbers for this species.

The very poor cone crop placed the finches well be-low average in the count this year with the excep-tion of the northern cardi-nal with 38 counted, down only four from the record of 44 set in 2007.

Evening grosbeaks with 16 have not rebounded from their record of 1,250 set in 1990.

The absence of purple finches indicated the seri-ousness of the situation.

House finches with three, are also on the de-cline as are pine grosbeaks, with only four seen.

Common redpolls have rebounded from last year with 141 but a long piece from their record of 1,602 in 2001.

Pine siskins were down by three from last year’s 15. Goldfinches were sev-enth with 263, up from 127 in 2013. Dark-eyed juncos and tree sparrows with 73 and 21 are well below av-erage compared to 2013.

White-crowned spar-rows set a new record with 26. Snow buntings and wild turkeys placed first and second and were up from last year with 1,440 and 467 respectively.

The Christmas Bird Count committee would like to thank all that helped to make the count a suc-cess.

A stArt to 2015

We received a call from Eleanor Weiss on count day that there were four bald eagles on the ice in front of her home on the Ottawa River. I was not long going to see them.

For sure there were four bald eagles, three adults and a young bird, a great sight to see.

June Francoeur from Otter Lake called and said she saw a bald eagle fly-ing over the lake near her home. It is difficult to tell if it was one of the birds from the Ottawa River, but because they require a very large territory, it is unlikely.

Carolyn Edson had a female cardinal visit her feeder, the first in a long time. She also had com-mon redpolls, white and red-breasted nuthatches and 12 mourning doves.

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

Sports - Renfrew minor hockey’s two novice house teams put on a good show in the B final of the association’s annual novice tournament Fri-day at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

It came down to the final moments when Connor Pil-grim struck for the game-win-ning marker with just 20.6 sec-onds showing on the clock to give Renfrew Pizzeria the 2-1 victory over the Rink Rat Pro Shop.

Dawson Pennock and the Rink Rats Cayden McKinnon exchanged goals earlier for their teams in the entertaining contest.

Easton Clarke of Pizzeria won the goaltenders’ battle over Rink Rat Pro Shop coun-terpart Wyatt Crozier.

Both Renfrew teams had a win and a loss earlier in the day in the six-team event.

The Kemptville Panthers topped the Shawville Lions in the A final.

Metro in B final

Renfrew’s lone entry in the bantam house tournament also

reached the B final, only to fall 3-2 on a goal with a couple of minutes remaining Sunday. Avery Smith connected to push the Nepean Raiders past Ren-frew Metro.

Hunter Gilchrist and Brody Byce had Metro markers.

Connery Campbell guarded the goalcrease.

Metro’s earlier games were a win and a loss, also decided by 3-2 counts.

The Richmond Royals downed the Arnprior Packers 6-2 to win the tournament.

It was a tough day for Ren-frew teams in the eight-team peewee house hockey tourna-ment Dec. 28.

B.R. Fulton Construction lost its two encounters to South Grenville and Fort Coulonge.

NAPA Auto Parts suffered a similar fate in its games versus West Carleton and Arnprior.

The Novice Timberwolves also went 0-and-2 in their tour-nament Dec. 27.

In a rare case because of a bye and the way other results fell, both defeats were to the same team, the Arnprior Pack-ers.

The Mississippi Thunder Kings captured the tournament title with a 6-0 win over the Stittsville Rams.

New year looks promising at the Renfrew Curing ClubAndy SklepowiczBehind the Glass

Sports - The beginning of the New Year at the Renfrew Curling Rink after the holidays had eager rock crazies, barely awaiting the pebble to dry, be-fore they were back with their first throws of 2015.

While the curlers were en-joying some time away from the rink, Jon Wall had been busy working out all those tricky spots that provide home ice advantage and give good skips a leg up over tier two ice generals like myself.

The start of 2015 is also an appropriate time to update everyone on the progress of the club’s major undertaking in raising funds to replace the brine pipes.

Lee Sharpe has been busy collecting donations and pledges, as well as visiting service clubs, while Nancy Connors and Lyn Joyce and

friends sold over 160 Christ-mas wreaths.

Rachel Leclaire and helpers baked and sold more tourtieres than Bernie will eat in a life-time.

All told, including prior funds, the total has now passed the $40,000 threshold and is well on the way to the mini-mum goal of $100,000.

A final push with members and the community should al-low the membership to decide at this year’s AGM when to begin replacing the pipes!

The above news, along with an ever-growing member-ship, a second Learn-to-Curl Program and growing club fi-nances all point to a promising future for curling in Renfrew for many years to come.

Most leagues have grown, new curlers have taken up the sport, especially in the Friday evening Community League. Bookings have increased and a feeling of assured optimism

has spread through the club and beyond.

The first major spiel of the New Year was full in three days and now has a lengthy waiting list and all await our American friends to join the curlers for that event. All bodes well for an even more successful sec-ond half to the curling season.

In further draw 2 results, the team of Rob Warren, Andy Humphries, Jim Berg and Bri-an Hewitt once again took the A, with the Griese and West-garth teams dropping back down to B.

Clayton Eady’s rink, with George Scott, Gord Eady and Ed Hanson captured the B, and along with the Yvonne Skle-powicz team, move up to the A after just beating out and up her long suffering husband.

Friday Night Mixed also had repeat winners with Bill Bowles, Karl Mann, Louise Jamieson and Theresa Mann claiming top honours.

as a club, we attempt to instill in our members the importance of recognizing community support and the necessity to give back.

it is with this in mind that our club insists that all high school wrestlers give back by coaching at an elementary school level.

With this spirit and recogniz-ing other needs in our community

our club collected food donations in the amount of 120 items total-ling 137 pounds and presented these to our local (Renfrew and district) Food bank.

Our recently expanded RaWc team in Pembroke also took part in the drive, collecting 123 items totalling 116 pounds and present-ed these to their local food bank.

the Renfrew amateur Wres-tling club wants to thank the community that gives us tremen-dous support throughout our sea-son!

Merry christmas and happy New Year to all.

Wolves rebound to maintain edge in battle for first placePeter [email protected]

Sports - Despite a glitch on the screen when they allowed a game to get away from them in Stittsville, the Renfrew Timberwolves continue to own a healthy lead over the Rams atop the Valley Division of the East-ern Ontario Junior Hockey League.

Renfrew’s lead stands at seven points over Stittsville. Each team has 10 games left in the 2014-15 cam-paign, including a pair head-to-head.

StittSville 7, WolveS 5

A loss between Christmas and New Year’s is never the end of the world, but the way they allowed the game to slip away was the frustrating part of a late-afternoon Dec. 27 set-back for the Wolves at the Jack Char-ron Arena in Stittsville.

Leaders of 1-0 after 20 minutes, the Wolves were sailing along with a 3-0 lead halfway through the game when Stittsville erupted for three goals in a 1:39 span to pull even.

The Rams later did it again in the third period. A second three-spot inside of 2:19 less than 10 minutes

from the end made quick work of a 4-4 deadlock. That flurry began just 49 seconds after Luke Lapierre had tied the game for Renfrew.

Stittsville outscored the Wolves 4-2 overall in the final stanza to pro-vide its margin of victory.

Cole Carter and Shane Hiley paced the Rams triumph with three-goal performances. Mike DiBello added the single goal plus four assists.

Lapierre had a hat trick to lead the Renfrew offence. Scott Conroy and Blair Barr added singles.

Barr, Conroy and Tanner Smith all collected two assists for the Wolves.

Matt Gagne was charged with the goaltending loss on 30 shots. Matt Couvrette faced 37 Renfrew drives in the Stittsville goalcrease.

Perhaps surprisingly, each team took just six minor penalties in the matinee contest.

WolveS 6, Arnprior 2

The Wolves bounced back in a big way in the league’s final game of 2014 at the MAC Dec. 30.

After a lackluster opening period effort in which they found them-selves down 1-0, the Wolves domi-

nated the middle frame. Quick goals shot Renfrew into a 2-1 lead.

Luke Lapierre scored his first of two goals on the night when he stuffed the rebound of a Blair Barr shot off the goalpost behind Arnprior goalkeeper Matteo Scapillati at 1:44.

Nych Paquette gave the Wolves their first lead when he clicked just 32 seconds later.

Scott Conroy parlayed a fortuitous bounce off the backboards into the open 6x4-foot cage when Scapillati was caught going the other way for a 3-1 Renfrew lead midway through the period.

Bailey Hein outraced a Packer defender down the left-wing boards and broke in for a shorthanded tally to up the Wolves advantage to 4-1 1:21 into the third period.

After James Prebble got one back for Arnprior, Barr and Lapierre added insurance for the Wolves, each scor-ing with the help of the other.

Liam Killeen gave Arnprior its original 1-0 lead when he scored the opening period’s only goal just 1:09 into the contest.

Dane Brumm backstopped the Renfrew victory with 21 saves.

His biggest stop came a couple

of minutes after Killeen’s marker when he robbed the Packers of what appeared to be a sure goal. That pre-vented Arnprior from going up 2-0, and bought the Wolves time to turn momentum into their favour.

A spirited third-period scrap re-sulted in fighting majors and game misconducts to Ryan Patrick of the Wolves and Packers counterpart Chris Marchand.

Patrick had two-thirds of a Gordie Howe Hat Trick. He also added an assist. Barr collected three helpers to go alongside his goal. Cody Antono-ni added two assists for the Wolves.

WolveS 7, Almonte 4

The Wolves jumped out to a 3-0 opening stanza lead and were never threatened in their Saturday night tri-umph in Almonte.

Conroy notched a hat trick to lead Renfrew goalgetters. Lucas Gonu added a pair of markers for the Wolves, who dominated with a 37-18 shots advantage. Smith and Lapierre, shorthanded, added singles.

Riley McEwan, Nick Villeneuve, Riley Shore and Quinn Gordon an-swered for the Thunder.

Dane Brumm earned his second consecutive netminding victory, while veteran Matthew Dods was be-tween the pipes for Almonte.

Collin Raddatz added three as-sists, and Antononi and Hein two. Lyle Stressman and Almonte’s Ben Harris were tossed from the game as the result of a second-period fight.

WolveS hoWlingS

The Wolves have sent forward Cole Allard to Arnprior for cash and future considerations.

Jason Collins is back with the Wolves. Collins, who scored his first Ontario Hockey League goal with Plymouth Dec .19, had an assist and was plus-1 despite a 7-2 Whalers loss to the Saginaw Spirit last weekend.

From the World Junior Hockey Championship, I’m starting to be-lieve Max Domi might be a better hockey player than Tie.

The Wolves play their first home game of 2015 at the Ma-Te-Way Ac-tivity Centre this Sunday evening, Jan. 11.

The Perth Blue Wings are in town at 7:30 p.m. It’s the only contest for the Wolves this weekend.

So, you think you can’t dance? Think againArts – Think you can’t

dance?Well, the news is good, yes,

you can. And we’re willing to prove it, says Hyacinth Chat-terton, speaking for Valerie Penno and herself, both active line dance instructors in Arn-prior and environs. Line dance steps are very straightforward to learn, she says, adding that the interesting patterning and sequencing involved will stay with you ‘forever-and-a-day’.

Through several local and nearby recreation centres, Chat-terton offers three beginner/novice classes and three classes at the intermediate level – this reflects an increase of two new classes this term.

Her groups use the collective name of ‘The Hy-Liners’.

Penno currently instructs one beginner class, plus two others with mixed level participants. With one new class this season, she has also shown increased

participation in her group, called ‘The Valley-Booters’.

Both instructors agree that a huge bonus for current as well as would-be dancers in the area is the fact this form of dancing is very accessible.

There are nine sessions avail-able each week at various hours of the day or in the evening: Almonte in the afternoon and evening; Arnprior in the noon, afternoon, and evening; Cala-bogie in the evening; Carleton Place in the afternoon; Horton in the evening; Pakenham in the afternoon (alternating with Al-monte); and White Lake in the morning.

Chatterton and Penno also point out that the variety of dance tunes being used has kept expanding to reflect the times and current trends. The days are long gone when this dance form centred mainly around country music.

From over a decade ago,

through to the present time, sev-eral other music genres have also played increasingly important roles on the line dance scene, in-cluding Zumba, western-swing, waltz, samba, salsa, rhumba, reggae, nightclub, mambo, jive, jazz, Gangnam-style, fox-trot, disco, Celtic, Calypso, Bachata and other modern trends.

Moreover, both instructors confirm this type of dancing is no longer restricted to being performed in lines only - many are done in circles, contra-for-mations, diamonds, squares and other patterns. The benefits of this dance form are many, says Chatterton. In promoting line dancing, she continues to em-phasize that it is truly an activ-ity that is “fun-to-do” as well as being “good-for-you.”

As qualified educators, both Chatterton and Penno appreci-ate the positive effects and re-sults of this “dynamic combina-tion.”

Line dancing is well-known for its beneficial aerobic con-tent, but in addition it delivers a weight-bearing component, recognized for its importance in developing and maintain-ing muscle-tone. To top it all, “brain-training” is also well-covered through learning and repeating the various sequential patterns continually presented, as participants progress through the programs, notes Chatterton.

“This activity is ideal for all ages and is suitable, as well, for both genders,” she says. “It rates high in its accessibility to all who are interested, as no equip-ment is needed.

“Moreover, an important point for everyone who is new to dancing, is the fact that begin-ner/novice programs are avail-able, which means no previous experience is needed. Partners are welcome, but unlike some other dance-forms, having a partner is not a requirement for

participation.”Chatterton notes the

physical and mental ben-efits of this dance-form, which is providing so much

enjoyment.“So, is it time for you to

add this activity to your ex-ercise routines?” she asks. “You bet!”

Sandman shares winter magic with Mary

Lifestyle - “Why is it, Audrey?” As always, when I had to get an answer to an important question, I went to my sister...so much older and wiser than I was. I had been thinking about it for a long time, and that night, as we sat around the old pine table, hav-ing gone through Eaton’s catalogue once again, I had to have the answer, once and for all.

I had asked Audrey why the Sand-man only came to me, and why only in the dead of winter.

And why, when Mother looked over at me, she would nod, and say, “here comes the Sandman again.”

I would look around me, seeking this creature, who it seemed, singled me out from the rest of the family, and without my even realizing it, said it was time for bed.

Audrey closed the catalogue, draped her arm around my shoulders, and said that after a certain age, the Sandman was no longer needed.

He only came to very young chil-dren, and the reason he only came in the winter time, was that the days were shorter, and besides, he didn’t like the hot summer nights, and so hid away in the farthest regions of the world where it was much cooler.

This all made perfect sense to me. Since I preferred winter, too.

And then Audrey, who Mother of-ten said had the patience of a Saint, reminded me of all the times I fell asleep before anyone else in the house, and she said it was because the Sandman knew exactly when I was getting tired.

She told me how she often had to nudge me in church on Sundays, when the minister deep in his sermon droned on. And she said that hap-pened in the winter because there was nothing to look at outside the window by our pew, but in the summer I could

see the birds, and sometimes a squir-rel in a tree. And she said the Sand-man would come, and unbeknownst to me, would tap me on my eyelids, and off I would go.

I asked her how come I always fell asleep in the fl at-bottom sleigh when we were coming home at night from a neighbour’s, or from something go-ing on at school or our church.

Well, Audrey had a perfect ex-planation for that too. She said, the Sandman loved the cold weather, and the frosty nights, and the sleigh bells, and the sound of the horses hooves crunching in the snow, and he had so many little people to visit, he would come to those who fell asleep the fastest. Well, that was me alright!

I would be barely tucked into the sleigh, under the big fur blanket, with a heavy scarf wrapped around my head, when I would drop off, and waken only with the gentle nudge of my sister that we had arrived at our old log house on the farm.

And so often when it was time for us to play host to the Saturday night house party, I would stay awake as long as I could, listening to the fi ddle music, the table being pounded by euchre players, and the sound of Fa-ther playing the spoons. And I would sit on the bench near the back door, the best place to see the entire goings on, and I would fi nd myself nodding, mesmerized by the sounds.

SandmanContinued from page 31

If we were at someone else’s home for the Saturday night house party, the youngest of us would play upstairs in one of the bedrooms, and end up laying cross-wise on a bed, and like a miracle, I would waken the next morning in my very own bed, never waking while being dressed and car-ried out to the sleigh.

My sister Audrey said the Sand-man would have touched the eyelids of all of us, putting us to sleep, and then like limp dishrags, and unaware, we would be carried to the sleighs, undressed at our own homes, tucked into bed, none the wiser.

I asked Audrey why I never felt the Sandman touching my eyelids. Why didn’t I see him? And my older and much wiser sister would explain that the Sandman was just like Santa Claus. We knew he existed, didn’t we? And yet we didn’t see him, or

hear him, or feel his touch. Well, she said, it was the same with the Sand-man.

And so like Santa Claus who I knew existed, but who I never saw, and just like the cream in the milk cans would rise to the top overnight, or how it would change to butter when churned, or how old Mrs. Beam seemed to know exactly what to do when we were hit with the measles or the chicken pox, there was no expla-nation.

The Sandman was simply unseen but was there putting me to sleep when I least expected it.

I put it all down to just plain old Renfrew County magic.

United Way within reach of $400,000 goalStaff

News – The Renfrew County Unit-ed Way is enjoying a resurgence in interest this year.

Unlike last year when it took sev-eral extensions into the new year for the United Way to come anywhere close to its ambitious $500,000 goal, this year’s campaign is already close to the finish line.

The campaign goal of $400,000 has almost been achieved, the Ren-frew County United Way announced on Dec. 19, the final official day of the drive. The news release noted it is the first time in several years the United Way has not had to extend the campaign deadline.

Among the recipients of last year’s campaign were the Arnprior Grove Nursing Home’s adult day program for seniors, Hospice Renfrew, the Renfrew County Sexual Assault/Rape Crisis Support Centre and the Phoenix Centre for Children and Families.

The 2014 campaign was launched on Sept. 17. As of Dec. 19, individual donations, pledges received, event proceeds and forecasted revenues from workplace campaigns totalled about $386,500.

“We’re so pleased with this year’s campaign and we’re confident the bal-ance of approximately $13,500 will

be achieved in the next few weeks,” said United Way Board Chair Shelley Rolland-Poruks.

“On behalf of the board of direc-tors, I want to congratulate all of the volunteer workplace campaign co-or-dinators who worked so hard this fall to exceed their goals.”

Canadian Nuclear Laboratory (CNL) employees continued their outstanding track record of United Way support through their annual workplace campaign that exceeded their goal of $125,000 by raising $141,750.

In addition, Garrison Petawawa personnel exceeded their goal of $50,000 by raising $60,406.

A number of other workplaces including Algonquin College, KI Pembroke and Defence Construc-tion Canada exceeded their campaign goals as well.

“United Way is very proud and grateful to the hundreds of people throughout Renfrew County who have contributed this year,” said United Way executive director Gail Logan-McMeekin.

“I hope their generosity and spirit will inspire other area businesses, their employees and individual resi-dents to make a donation before the end of the year that will help us to help others less fortunate in our re-gion,” Logan added.

Renfrew Highland Pipes and Drums to hold Burns supperGraham JamiesonRenfrew Highland Pipes and Drums

Community - on Jan. 25, 1759, the first child of seven of agnes and Wil-lian burns was born in the village of alloway, scotland.

as a young lad, robert burns, helped his father on the family farm. but it became very evident that he was not interested in this life style as his future. his passions were nature, poetry, wine and women, and he pur-sued each of them every opportunity he had.

PoEmS mADE BuRNS FAmouS

at 27 years old, burns had suc-cessfully published his first collec-tion of verses and was famous across the country for many of the poems he had written.

due to many illicit relationships and fathering numerous illegitimate children, in 1789 he took a job as an excise officer in dumfries and seven short years later, on July 21, 1796, robbie burns died at the age of 37 years old.

he was only married once and had

12 children to four different women. since the end of the 18th century, robbie burns suppers have been held on or around Jan. 25 around the world, to honour scotland’s national bard.

16TH HiGHLANDS SuPPER

renfrew highland Pipes and drums is holding its 16th annual robbie burns supper on saturday, Jan. 31 at the renfrew Legion.

social hour is at 5:30 p.m. and the piping-in of the haggis is at 6:30 p.m., followed by supper and scottish entertainment and a fundraising silent auction and raffle.

this year’s profits are going to the renfrew Collegiate high school band and the renfrew Golden age activity Centre.

tickets are $30 each ($15 for chil-dren) and available at rocky moun-tain house restaurant, renfrew Le-gion, home hardware, Golden age activity Centre and from band mem-bers.

tickets can be purchased until tuesday, Jan. 27. For more informa-tion, call 613-432-6407.

News - Chelsea Donohue of Renfrew has made a differ-ence in the life of one animal.

Donohue bought Peaches the pig from a farm that was selling her to be slaughtered.

“A friend of mine set up a dog cage in the back of her SUV and we went and picked up Peaches. I brought her to my mom’s small hobby farm in Admaston and fixed up a stall for her to stay in temporarily,” Donohue explained.

She then reached out to the Ottawa community to try to find Peaches a permanent home, via a Facebook page set up for Peaches. “Through that page someone contacted me and said that the Big Sky Animal Sanctuary in Kemptville could take her in but because they were short on funds due to the other rescues they made this year, they would need $400 to cover the food and vet expenses,” said Donohue.

“As soon as that information was shared via Facebook, an Ottawa charity, Helping Ottawa Fur Kids, donated $250 and offered to collect any other donations for me. Needless to say the $400 was collected in less than three hours with people being told to send any additional money directly to the Big Sky Animal Sanctuary,” she added

“It was absolutely amazing to see how quickly the com-munity came forward to help this pig. Within minutes of posting about Peaches’ journey people were phoning sanc-tuaries, sharing with their friends, offering their help, and donating money. Saving this pig was 100 per cent a com-munity effort,” said Donohue.

Now is the time to apply for Algonquin College

News - A critical deadline is fast approaching for college appli-cants that are considering enrolling in classes in the fall of 2015. The equal opportunity deadline of Feb. 1 is important to anyone consider-ing applying to popular programs such as health care programs, which often attract more applications than the number of seats available.

Algonquin College’s Waterfront Campus in Pembroke will be hold-ing a Discovery information session on Wednesday, Jan. 21 at 7 p.m. to help prospective students learn about the 20 full-time programs that are available at the campus.

Faculty will be available to answers questions about the pro-grams, and the presentation will include information on the admis-sions process, financial aid, student services and an optional campus tour.

manager of Community and Student Affairs, Jamie Bramburger, says the Discovery information ses-sions are very popular because they help people become more comfort-able with the college and the steps they need to take to enroll in a pro-gram.

“We hold these sessions a few times each year and the feedback is always excellent. The sessions are particularly valuable for mature students or parents, who often play an important role in helping their son or daughter choose the pro-gram and campus that is best suited for them,” adds Bramburger.

A new program that is being of-fered this year is the General Arts and Science-Pre-Nursing program, designed to assist applicants that are interested in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program, but do not feel they are academically ready or are missing some of the admission requirements for the Baccalaureate program. Other pro-grams that have been introduced in recent years include environmen-tal Technician, Culinary Arts-Chef Training, Construction Techniques and the General Arts and Science-Pre-Health Sciences program.

Applications for college are available through the Ontario Col-lege Application Service on line at www.ontariocolleges.ca.

The cost to apply to college is $95 and applicants can choose up to five programs, with no more than three choices at any individual col-lege.

Lifestyle - While it may

seem like spring has just

sprung, summer will be here

before you know it. According

to the education experts at Ox-

ford Learning, that means that

it’s time to start thinking about

summer learning plans.

“Summer learning is a criti-

cal – and often overlooked

– part of students’ learning.

By planning for summer learn-

ing now, parents will help

their children avoid the sum-

mer learning brain drain,” says

Nick Whitehead, founder and

CEO of Oxford Learning.

He offers these fi ve reasons

why planning for summer

learning is so important:

1. Summer is going to be

here soon. Spring may have

just begun, but before long,

students will be studying for

exams and handing in their fi -

nal term projects, which means

that it’s not too early to think

about what kids are going to be

doing this summer.

2. Summer can undo what

children are learning right

now. Without maintaining

learning momentum and study

skills over the summer break,

students easily forget every-

thing they’re working hard to

learn right now, which means

that next year, students need

to repeat the same workbooks

and materials they are learning

right now.

3. Summer can have an im-

pact on how children learn next

year. After a summer off, it can

take kids up to three months

to get back into the swing of

learning. That represents a

huge amount of wasted learn-

ing opportunities, and it means

that students are not up to their

potential from as early as the

fi rst day back to class.

4. Kids want to learn in the

summer. Research in summer

learning studies shows that 56

per cent of students want to be

involved in a summer program

that helps them keep up with

summer schoolwork or prepare

for the next grade.

5. Summer programs fi ll up

fast. Most programs are already

accepting applications and tak-

ing reservations for summer

enrolment. Schools, camps,

and supplemental tutoring fa-

cilities are no exception.

Lifestyle - Specialized sum-mer camps are now allowing young artists to develop their passion on an intensive basis.

Summer art camps offer classes which are both educa-tional and lots of fun. Children can develop their skills and broaden their interests while being supervised by compe-tent instructors, all in an enter-taining atmosphere.There are many different

facets to the world of visual arts. At summer camp, young people can learn about kinds of media that they have fewer op-portunities to explore at home or school, such as China ink, pastels, charcoal, oil paint, and clay. They acquire theoretical notions and draw inspiration from the great masters of the art world. Some art camps even organize an exhibit at the end of the camp so that friends and family can see all the cre-ations.

Theatre is a great way to break out of one’s shell. At summer camp, children will be able to set aside their shy-ness and learn to express themselves in public. They will improve their

memorization skills and they will also be able to study dif-ferent acting methods.Dramatic art includes many

behind-the-scenes activities, and during theatre camp chil-dren will be introduced to many of them, including lights and sound, costumes, makeup, and stage design.The performing arts are

also a great way for children to

discover their talents, develop a work ethic, and build self-esteem. All branches of the performing arts teach students about teamwork.At a performing arts camp,

children are given the oppor-tunity to work on a project throughout their stay and then have the very rewarding expe-rience of presenting it in front of family and friends.

Art camps allow children to develop their creativity.

Renfrew CollegiateENG 4U class

lifestyle - Senior english and art students from Renfrew Collegiate institute travelled to the National Capital on Dec. 4 to view the Par-liament Buildings and the National Gallery of Canada. On Parliament Hill, students explored the outer grounds and admired not only the view from the hill, but also the great victorian Gothic architecture and stone carvings imbedded in the historical building.

inside the building several small groups trav-elled to the observation deck in the Peace tower. the observation deck runs the circumference of the tower and students were able to view all four sides.

a film crew was filming in the Memorial Chamber so students were disappointed that they could not view the Books of Remembrance. However, students paid their respects at the Na-tional War Memorial where Cpl. Nathan Cirillo died earlier this year.

“Being able to look down the hallway where the shooting occurred inside the Centre Block of Parliament and seeing the War Memorial made the event real for the students. Sometimes we see images on tv and there can be a disconnect because we can’t experience it for ourselves. to-day, the students made a real connection to a real event. they will never forget this experience,” said english teacher Charlene edwards-Budden.

after a short lunch, students met at the Na-tional art Gallery of Canada and explored the art displays.

Shaylene Gibbons said, “(it was) the most inspiring field trip i’ve ever been on; (it was) a day full of appreciation and inspiration. it was like a trip around the world within the walls of a beautiful gallery. Not only was art appreciated but memories were made.”

the senior english students were able to view period pieces that connected to Canadian litera-ture. the focus was to identify art that reflected the Canadian experience which was found in na-ture and in frontier life.

Besides viewing many allegorical pieces, stu-dents also discovered a sculpture that connected to Frankenstein, a painting depicting the “fall of man”, a painting of Shakespeare’s Othello, and many pieces illustrating Greek mythology.

Will vincent remarked, “i believe that each piece of art tells a story of its own. it is interest-ing to discover how we each interpret a piece of art differently while all standing in front of it.”

the Senior art students had to locate art work they had studied in class and view the pieces up close to study brush stroke techniques, texture, and lighting.

Het Shah said, “Sometimes i couldn’t distin-guish between the photography and the paint-ings. it was really inspiring.”

after three hours in the Gallery, students headed home to Renfrew.

“With Ottawa being so close you wouldn’t think visiting it would impact you very much, but by seeing the Peace tower, the War Memo-rial and being able to admire the art, it made me connect to and appreciate Ottawa that much more,” said Megan Bulmer.

NOTICE TO RESIDENTS

Successful mock exercise at Bonnechere Manor Michael BarberCounty of Renfrew

On Dec. 16 the staff and man-agement of Bonnechere Manor conducted mock fire and evacua-tion drills at their Albert Street fa-cility.

The Renfrew Fire Department received the dispatch in less than two minutes after the first alarm sounded, and the response time to the scene by fire crews was under six minutes. The fire department was on location to monitor and ob-serve the exercise. Staff filled the roles of residents for the exercise so that the residents were not inter-rupted at all.

The exercises were a great suc-cess as two residents were evacuat-ed from the fire room and the door was closed in just 2:02 minutes af-ter the alarm sounded, well within the allotted regulation time of four minutes. Seven more responders arrived on the scene (on the second floor in the Henry Murdoch Wing) from the fan-out call list. These are the staff that would get the call in the middle of the night at their homes to come in and assist with evacuation.

All 35 residents in the Henry Murdoch Wing were evacuated to safe areas in 27:35 minutes, well within the allotted regulation time of 75 minutes. The exercise was conducted to comply with the changes to the provincial fire code that were implemented in January 2014 as directed by the Ministry of Community Safety and Correc-tional Services.

“Our residents should feel safe, as our building has up to date smoke and fire protection and most importantly sprinklers within all resident rooms,” said Bonnechere Manor administrator Shayne Hoel-ke. “This exercise was well done by all staff that participated. Great work!”

Dave Bromley, the environ-mental services supervisor at Bon-nechere Manor, echoed Mr. Hoel-ke’s comment.

“Excellent work by all staff as they conducted this mock exercise well within the expected time-frame,” Bromley said.

Bonnechere Manor Long-Term Care Home has been serving Coun-ty of Renfrew seniors since 1958. The 180-bed home is located at 470 Albert Street in Renfrew.

Provincial police urge safety on the icenews - Members of the

Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) would like to en-courage everyone to assess and be aware of conditions before venturing out on ice covered bodies of water.

ice is never 100 per cent safe even though you may have tested the thickness. if you do venture out on the ice, please follow these tips to help keep you safe;

• Check the weather. Do not go out on warm or stormy days.

• Do not travel on ice if you have consumed alcohol or drugs.

• Do not travel on ice alone or in the dark.

• Keep away from unfa-miliar paths or ice.

• NEVER go out on the ice alone; always have a buddy with you.

• Always let someone know your destination and time of return.

• Children should be ac-companied by an adult when

out on the ice. • Carry a small survival

kit on your person-includ-ing ice picks, rope, a lighter, waterproof matches, mag-nesium fire starter, pocket knife, compass and whistle.

ice is constantly chang-ing in response to weather and water conditions and is effected by many different factors including thickness, currents, age of the ice, pressure cracks and snow cover.

East Region OPP encour-ages everyone to stay off the ice when conditions are obviously dangerous espe-cially in the early winter and late spring.

if in doubt, Don’t go out! For more information

from the OFSC go to their website at www.ofsc.on.ca or visit the Canadian Red Cross at www.redcross.ca/what-we-do/swimming-and-water-safety/swim-ming, boating-and-water-safety-tips/ice-safety.

Eugenia BuraczewskiWe would like to express our heartfelt thanks to relatives, friends and town of Renfrew for your kindnesses on the recent loss of our dear mother and grandmother.Mother left Renfrew in 2003 to live in Ottawa but her return was welcoming. The small-town etiquette of the funeral procession, with one individual making a sign of the cross as the hearse passed, really touched my heart. It shows great respect for the dead and the family in mourning. For cars to stop to let the procession by is something we do not see in the big city.Thank you to all the family and friends who drove to Renfrew to pay their respects to Mother.Special thanks to Don Goulet and the staff of Goulet Funeral Home for their guidance, care and for respecting family traditions and customs.Thank you to Father Holly at Our Lady of Fatima Parish for making the sermon so personal and relevant to the scripture read at mass, and recognition of Mother’s Polish heritage and lifelong devotion to Mary.Thanks to the Knights of Columbus volunteers and the ladies for preparing an outstanding lunch after the service.Thank you to all who brought us comfort through flowers, memorial donations and expressions of sympathy.Anna Buraczewski and Family

CHARITABLE GIVING WITH LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES - A WIN-WIN FOR BOTH FAMILY AND CHARITIES

By Shawn Ryan, CFP, TEP Partner and Senior Insurance and Estate Planner Scrivens Insurance and Financial Solutions

Life insurance is a popular, practical way to make a signifi cant gift to CHEO. Your donation will be wisely administered through investments which will provide a stable source of income to CHEO for years to come. There are three main methods you can gift life insurance: by making a bequest of the proceeds of a life insurance policy through your Will; donating the policy during your lifetime at fair market value; or by naming CHEO as benefi ciary and remaining as policy owner.

Here is a scenario where a mother owns a family business and wishes to gift the shares to her adult children through a provision in her Will. She wants to eliminate capital gains taxes of the shares payable at her death. The taxable capital gains reportable on the deemed disposition of shares on death is $500,000 and tax owing on this amount is $230,000 (base on a 46% marginal tax rate).

She also wants to make a sizeable donation to her favourite charitable organization, but doesn’t want to reduce her estate assets.

Given the options mentioned above, she decides that the most viable solution is to

purchase a permanent life insurance policy for $500,000 and donate the proceeds to charity through her Will.

This is a win-win for both her family and the charity. She will own the policy during her lifetime and name her estate as policy benefi ciary. She will direct that a gift in an amount equal to the life insurance proceeds be paid to a charity named in the Will. The charity will receive the lump sum amount equal to the insurance proceeds upon her death. A tax receipt issued for 100% of the donation by the charity will qualify for a tax credit to be used in her fi nal tax return. This credit has completely eliminated the tax liability on the shares at death and

the estate value is preserved. In this case, premiums for the life insurance policy are paid with a relatively small percentage of the funds that would otherwise have been used to pay taxes owing.

The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities. This should be considered in the bigger context of planned giving options available to donors both during their lifetime and at death.

If you are interested in fi nding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at

[email protected] or (613) 738-3694 cheofoundation.com

Ontario cottagers gone wrong wanted for new renovations seriesDena PitterCottage Life

Community - Did you attempt a renovation project in your cottage that’s turned into a disaster?

We want to help!This new series dives into the

world of reno projects gone wrong and is looking for Ontario cottagers within a three-hour radius of Ottawa with misguided renos in need of ma-jor help from experts.

Each episode top-notch carpenter Dave Depencier and his team turn di-saster reno projects into a little piece

of cottage perfection. Along the way they right the wrongs and teach cot-tage DIYers how to do things prop-erly.

We want to come to the rescue of cottage owners who are in over their heads and suffering with a screwed up project.

We are looking for cottagers who need their renovation projects fixed but don’t know what to do next and have some sort of visual progress such as open stud walls or plywood floors.

We are not looking for inherited problems that came with the cottage

or are not a result of the current own-ers (un)handiwork.

Did you try a project at the cottage you would never have considered doing at home and it went terribly wrong?

Apply now! Please contact [email protected] with the sub-ject line ‘Master My Disaster’ and the following information:

• Interior and exterior photos of your cottage – including at least three photos of the renovation gone wrong;

• A photo of you and your loved ones;

• A brief written description of your story and misguided renova-tion;

• Your contact information, in-cluding email, phone numbers (home/cell) and the location/address of your cottage;

Deadline for submission: Don’t delay. Production has started. The sooner you apply the better your chances of being on the show. Good luck.
