Whitewater asked to withdraw support for heritage designation Steve Newman

Donald Broome of Cobden says the number of Renfrew County residents opposing national heritage designation of the Ottawa River is growing. On behalf of the Whitewater Ratepayers Association, Broome addressed Whitewater council June 19 to say why he’s opposed to the national heritage river designation that Renfrew County council has sought since 2008. Whitewater has supported that designation, but Broome wants Whitewater to rescind that decision. Based on council members’ reactions to Broom’s presentation, Whitewater very well may. In a 2,000-word presentation that Broome read to Whitewater council, he said the designation would be administered by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (and not by federal agencies, as originally thought) and create potential havoc for property owners in the Ottawa River watershed. He said he’s most concerned about MNR intervention and restrictions on homeowners within that watershed. “Gentlemen, most of us were born and raised here in

this area. Our roots are here. Our cultural heritage is here. And the future hopes and dreams of our children and their children are here,” said Broome. “But now the world we grew up in is changing at a bewildering rate, and for most of us older folks the changes are becoming increasingly hard to adapt to. “Nevertheless, we still have the ability to say no to the things that people from Toronto are trying to force on us. Therefore, let us resolve to retain our local economy and reject the attempts … to take over … the property we inherited from our beloved ancestors from generation to generation.” In closing, he said that if council does rescind its approval of the Ottawa River designation, it will do so in accordance with the wishes of its friends, neighbours and the local electorate in general. In the same presentation, Broome provided some levity with comments referring to how explorer Samuel de Champlain, who paddled through what became Renfrew County, couldn’t care less about any such designation because he’s been dead for 378 years.

OLA opposition to county’s Official Plan Resistance to Renfrew County’s Official Plan continues. Following the general public’s expressions of opposition at two recent public meetings in Whitewater Region Township, Haley Station resident Donna Burns attended the June 19 Whitewater council meeting to also oppose the Official Plan. Speaking on behalf of the Renfrew County chapter of the Ontario Landowners Association, and accompanied by OLA researcher Liz Marshall, Burns said, “This Official Plan is a huge bylaw created by Renfrew County that will bring about more regulation and policies that ultimately will tighten the noose around the necks of our municipalities who must conform to the Official Plan with still even more regulation and policies upon their ratepayers.” The council chambers was packed and overflow-

ing. More than 70 members of the public appeared for the presentations by Burns and Donald Broome of the Whitewater Ratepayers Association. The latter asked council to reverse its support for the national heritage designation of the Ottawa River. In Burns’ four-page presentation that she read to council, she said the landowners object to the Official Plan “because you have not identified within your plans how this municipal corporation intends to obtain the consent of private property owners, nor have to you identified how the municipal corporation intends to enter into any agreements with private property owners so that the municipal corporation may acquire the property (as required by legislation) for the purpose of allowing it to exercise its authority.” She also pointed the finger at the Ministry of Natural Resources while noting that MNR claims the land owned by the province makes up 87 per cent of

Designation Continued from front

Broome also said the MNR failed to add a species to its list of 80 species at risk in the Ottawa River watershed, namely the “endangered property owners of the entire Ottawa River watershed. “As an example of what the MNR is capable of,” continued Broome, “we need only look to the ecological debacle they are responsible for creating at Muskrat Lake, and the total disregard they have shown for the protests of our people.” Reeve READY to change his mind

land mass within this province. “Our concern,” she said, “is that the true desire of the province is to obtain control of the remaining 13 per cent of the land mass belonging to private property owner.” That control, she ex-

plained, would happen “through the Algonquin land claim rights and through enforcement of the Official Plans from our municipalities.” In conclusion, she said the OLA believes municipal corporate officials have been inadequately informed about

current legislation and are, therefore, “being manipulated to enforce regulation that places them in jeopardy and places the municipality at risk of financial instability. We are here to protect our property rights and to protect our municipalities.”

Reeve Donald Rathwell, who’s now prepared to withdraw his support for the heritage river designation, said the issue should return to Whitewater Region’s Official Plan committee for discussion before council votes to support or not support the designation. The last Whitewater Region council vote a few years ago favoured river designation, but was not unanimous. There’s no scheduled date for the next Official Plan committee meeting, but it probably won’t take place until August. “I, too, agree with Reeve Rathwell,” said Coun. Daryl McLaughlin. “I, too, believe it has to come back to council to look at because different information has been brought forward … I think we have to digest this and discuss it. I think it’s very, very important.” “Well taken, and I support you on this all the way,” Coun. Izett McBride

High hopes for AORS trade show next year in Arnprior Lucy Hass

lucy.hass@metroland.com

The Association of Ontario Road Supervisors will hold their annual municipal trade show June 4 and 5, 2014 at the Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior. At council’s June 20 meeting, Admaston-Bromley roads superintendent Chris Kunopaski reported that about 150 spots at the local trade show were sold at the recent 2013 show in Brantford. “The first day people were coming to us for booths,” said Kunopaski, noting the economic benefit of such events. Hotels in Renfrew and Arnprior have already been sold out, he said, and attendees are turning to hotels in the city. “The whole county gets something out of this,” Kunopaski said. “It’s a big thing. I just believe it’s going to be a great economic boost.’ Know the facts

Residents are being encouraged to familiarize themselves with the facts regarding the Algonquin land claim. Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe said you can’t disagree with the facts, and she appreciates efforts being made to present the facts. She said there was a lot of confusion but local municipalities now understand the issue is an provincial and federal responsibility. “This fact sheet is a really good fact sheet,” she said, and requested that a letter to sent to Ontario chief negotiator Ben Crane to thank him for his response to their concerns. St. Patty’s in July

Plans are well underway for a St. Patty’s in July fundraiser Saturday, July 27 from 1 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Douglas rink and ball field. The recreation committee is looking for sponsors to help promote the event. Meanwhile action continues full-

tilt, with ball and volleyball leagues operating. “It’s a full house there this summer,” Councillor Ray Pender said. Elsewhere in the township, 90 kids signed up for soccer this year. applies for funding

The Admaston-Bromley Public Library is seeking money for some new shelving. The application is to the AgriSpirit Fund for $8,641.68. “To do the whole works was totally out of the picture, so they’re doing the back wall,” Councillor Dirk Rook explained of the shelving project. Big Red Barn

Admaston-Bromley supports the Big Red Barn concept for the Sept. 21 Taste of the Valley at the Renfrew Fairgrounds. Angela Field has been working on initiative, designed to replace the Farm Comes to Town educational effort that fell victim to the staggered bells realignment of the school day and busing. To be held in the beef barn at the Renfrew fairgrounds, Field said, “This is to be an educational event that ties in beautifully with Taste of the Valley, and can showcase where people’s food comes from.” She envisions stations for dairy, sheep, pork, poultry, apaiary, soil and crop. 4-H and more. Organizers were scheduled to meet last night (Wednesday, June 26) to discuss plans. waste not

Admaston-Bromley Councillor Bob Dick advised council that Ontario Minister of the Environment Jim Bradley has announced a waste reduction strategy that would replace the current Waste Diversion Act with a Waste Reduction Act. “This new approach will focus on producers being responsible for end-

of-life management of the products and packaging they generate,” said a memo to township clerk Annette Louis from the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO). Mayor Briscoe applauds the shift to “more cradle to grave” waste management, with a greater emphasis on companies to use less packaging. Councillor Dick said there is some “pretty wasteful packaging” and the change calls on producers to take greater responsibility.’ The provincial government is asking local councils to inform their residents and MPPs and participate in consultations. “More waste diversion means a longer life for landfill sites and better stewardship of limited resources,” the AMO communication said. compactor purchase

Council has approved the purchase of a $70,000 pre-owned 2004 International compactor truck for the Stone Road transfer station. A $20,000 budget overrun is being financed by additional tipping fees revenue received in 2013 and council stressed that tipping fees are not being increased. Road superintendent Kunopaski expected to have the new equipment up and running this week. student help

Admaston-Bromley has secured funding for two summer students. One source of funding is the Ontario government’s Summer Experience Program 2013, the other is the Summer Jobs Service at Algonquin College. Mayor Briscoe thanked staff for their efforts in securing the provincial and college funding. The township did not receive any federal assistance . “We need the students and the students need us,” said Mayor Briscoe. “It’s an absolute real partnership.” “It’s excellent, excellent news,” the mayor added.

The provincial government pledged $10 million in 2010 to help build Renfrew Victoria Hospital’s new nephrology centre. Now, with preparations closer to getting a spade in the ground for the 22-month construction job, government and hospital officials gathered to announce the first portion of that funding. That amount is $1.5 million toward the $12 million project, of which $2 million has been raised by the hospital itself. If the approval process continues to go well, construction could start Steve Newman/Metroland by late summer.

Officials in attendance included Ontario Renal Network regional director Connie Twolan, RVH chief executive officer Randy Penney and local MPP John Yakabuski. “The main thing is that we have raised our local share and we’re ready to go, and we’ll work through the bureaucracy and get the final approvals,” said Penney. Officials also used the occasion to announce the Province is increasing funding for Renfrew County land ambulance services by 7.5 per cent, or $503,499, to $7.2 million this year.

It’s a credit to them in terms of investment of rural communities like Renfrew.” Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski offered his comments. “We all look forward to that moment when the project will be complete and we’ll be able to service that many more families in a much more complete and wholesome way, with a very, very modernized facility at Renfrew Victoria Hospital,” said Yakabuski. “But this is a tremendous first step and I’m proud, as your MPP, to be a small part of it.”

We all look forward to that moment when the project will be complete. MPP JOhn Yakabuski

Also, Leal reminded the gathering of hospital staff, healthcare officials and media that the provincial government contributes $694 million toward annual chronic-care disease programs, including $37 million to expand services in rural Ontario. Twolan, of the Ontario Renal Network, said she’s constantly in a position to com-

pliment RVH’s nephrology programming. “We know that providing shorter travel times equals better quality of patient care and outcomes for patients as well as their family members,” said Twolan in stressing the importance of having dialysis care in one’s home county. The centre, she added, will enhance the independent dialysis program, enabling more patients to do dialysis in their home after receiving the proper training to do so. The Ontario Renal Network regional director also applauded the “vision and sure determination of Renfrew Victoria Hospital’s administration and clinical leadership” on the project.

Leal, the Liberal MPP for Peterborough, was visiting Renfrew for the first time. At the news conference, he said he remembered how former premier Bill Davis said Ontario was a province of small towns with big dreams. Not missing a beat, Leal said he saw evidence of that in town with Vincent’s promotion of its limousine service, laundry mat and taxi service. RVH’s nephrology centre is part of a provincial network that provides 10,000 Ontario residents with dialysis treatment. That number is expected to grow to surpass 12,000 by 2015.

Pink Tour stop in Calabogie The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF) is on the road again this summer letting women know that one-third of breast cancers are preventable and that regular screening saves lives. This year’s Pink Tour is empowering women to make informed choices and take steps to reduce their risk of developing breast cancer. The Pink Tour bus offers an engaging, interactive learning experience about breast health. Visitors can take fun quizzes, use interactive videos, record personal video pledges to live well or sign up for a mammogram with the Ontario Breast Screening Program. The Pink Tour will be at the Calabogie Country Music Festival this week. The Pink Tour bus will be at Calabogie Peaks Resort on Friday, June 29, from 1 to 6 p.m. Mortality rates for breast cancer are declining, thanks to improved screening technology, earlier diagnoses and better treatments, but one in nine Canadian women will still be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.

From left, in the front row, are Liam Vaillancourt of Haley Station, Alexander Tracey of Renfrew, Carson Giroux of Horton Township, Dara McDonald of Douglas; back row, Barbara Scott of Scott & Sons Hardware, event co-ordinator Roxanne Nolan, Nathan Parker of Stouffville, and thinkfirst.ca representative and RVH physiotherapist Yolanda Prange.

While women ages 50 to 74 can receive a mammogram without a doctor’s referral and at no cost, only 61 per cent of women in Ontario are being screened and research shows that women are not aware they can take steps to reduce their risk of breast cancer. “Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation is thrilled to be once again visiting over 90 communities this summer,” said Sandra Palmaro, chief executive officer for the Ontario region of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation in a news release.

The Pink Tour bus is an information centre on breast health and breast cancer screening “We hope that women and their friends and families stop by to learn about how they can reduce their risk of breast cancer and the benefits of breast cancer screening.”  The tour will be travelling to cities and towns across Ontario, including Kenora, Ottawa and Windsor. The tour is also scheduled to visit health centres, workplaces, markets, festivals and local Shoppers Drug Mart stores and CIBC branches. All visitors are encouraged to sign the bus and make a video pledge to improve their breast health, and to share what they’ve learned with their friends, family and coworkers. “We are excited to be a partner on the Pink Tour for the second year to support more eligible women to be screened for breast cancer through our Ontario Breast Screening Program,” said Paula Doering, senior vice-president of clinical programs and diagnostic vicepresident for the Champlain Regional Cancer Program.

A truckload of youthful spirit

George Whitney of Douglas admires this beautiful birch bark canoe on display at TD Toronto Dominion Bank in Renfrew June 21 as the bank marks National Aboriginal Day with Janet and Chuck Commanda sharing the traditional art of canoe-making at the Renfrew branch. “You have to love these. They’re so organic,” Whitney said of the canoes. Commanda is the grandson of late Elder William Commanda who once said only one out of every 200 to 300 trees had the characteristics required to make a white birch bark canoe. Commanda was recently in Brockville where he shared his skill with students. His next stop was a powpow at Vincent Massey Park in Ottawa. National Aboriginal Day is an opportunity for all Canadians to celebrate the unique culture and contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples in Canada. According to TD president and CEO Ed Clark, “We believe that fostering diversity is not only the right thing to do but that it’s critical to achieving our mission to be a leading North American bank.”

When eight-year-old Arleigh Prince, shown at right with little Josie Kunopaskie on her lap, heard the Renfrew and District Food Bank was running short of food she decided something should be done to restock the shelves. The donation she collected included $260 in cash and a 10-foot trailer full of food. The donation was presented to the food bank June 21. With her are friends, from left, Hannah Cameron and Destiny Lewis.

A LEVEL OF SERVICE QUESTIONNAIRE for the Roads and Storm Drain systems has been mailed out to all property owners of Horton Township. The purpose of this questionnaire is to assist our consultants in the design of an Asset Management Plan for Roads and Storm Drain systems as required by the Province. In order for the Township to be eligible for provincial infrastructure funding, we must adopt an Asset Management Plan. Part of the process is public consultation. The plan will define the levels of service expected and the Township’s ability to meet standards. By completing this questionnaire you will be assisting the Township in determining those service levels. This is an opportunity for you to have input on the structural challenges facing the township and be part of a comprehensive plan to manage all of the Township assets now and into the future. Determining the levels of service also include financial strategies such as short and long term debt, user fees and reserve policies. We must plan for the future. Replacement of assets and new assets must be planned for and financial strategies must be put in place for those assets. Financial strategies will also be part of this plan. We appreciate your time and effort in completing the questionnaire, the questionnaire is also available on our web site, www.hortontownship.ca. Your response by Friday, July 5th, 2013 is greatly appreciated.

Street retreat a wise move

The Renfrew and Area Health Services Village has come a long way and proven how municipalities can work together to better serve their residents. The partnership, including municipal councils in Renfrew, Horton, Greater Madawaska and Admaston-Bromley, is proof positive that teamwork trumps head-butting. Joining forces to recruit doctors is a worthy effort indeed. So in these lean economic times, perhaps the health services village is a model that should be carried one step further. Take, for example, Renfrew town council’s recent decision to not build a new street from Stewart Street (Provincial Highway 60) to Arthur Street, at a price tag near $1 million. Anyone who lives in Renfrew or drives its streets on a regular basis could clearly find many other places where Renfrew tax dollars could be spent to improve residential travel. A secondary route off Highway 60 would be nice – if council were flush with cash. Creating a bypass so motorists don’t need to wait one traffic-light cycle is really a luxury rather than a necessity at this time. The Stewart-Bruce intersection is certainly

busy when work shifts change at the hospital, but otherwise it is far from the busiest intersection in town. Wish lists are a good thing, and maybe you can have it all – if you put your money where your mouth is. If some people want to save a couple of minutes en route to the hospital, they might want to approach their local councils and ask that a portion of their tax dollars be contributed to this special project. Or perhaps they could send a letter to Renfrew County council, MPP John Yakabuski or MP Cheryl Gallant to petition, in concert with Renfrew town council, for special one-time funding for this obviously-regional traffic improvement. Partnerships are the wave of the future and this could be an interesting pilot project; a chance to see if people are willing to reach into their own pockets and contribute – in a real and tangible way – to services they want to see provided by neighbouring communities. Council’s decision was a wise one. Let’s focus our attention on partnership opportunities and, for now, let’s patch the potholes first.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Water systems in Whitewater Region Thanks, Abby, for a job well done for SJHS To the editor: I am writing to express a serious concern that I believe may have a detrimental and lasting impact on all local ratepayers. As the owner of five local properties it will certainly, if true have a serious impact for me. Through a number of sources I have learned that our local municipal government may be considering taking action to Arnprior Chronicle-Guide outsource the oversight and management of the water systems in the region to a third party company. Given the serious nature of such a West Carleton Review potential action and decision, I have a grave concern that it be conducted in a transparent way that allows all ratepayers to have input. I have had conversation with a gentleman with more than 30 years’ experience in this field and it is his opinion that this may not be the most effective solution. I understand that the experience of other municipalities entering such agreements has been certain and huge cost increases that of course are passed on to rate payers. In recent discussions about Official Plan amendments, local officials

indicated that they want to increase the population of the area. Driving utility costs through the roof is hardly consistent with that stated desire. There is a proper way to approach this matter and our local government must ensure that they do all due diligence before taking any decision on this matter. Before any outside vendor is even contacted there must a complete study and written report on the current water situation in the region. This report must document the strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats posed by the current situation. When this is completed, a desired state can be prepared and any deficiencies clearly mapped out and identified. Only then can potential solutions be developed to address the long term needs of the Region. One of those solutions might be to outsource the management and oversight of the water system to a qualified vendor. However, another equally valid solution might be to hire the appropriate staff and resources to administer the process in-house. Following this disciplined approach is the only way that all potential solu-

tions can be properly assessed and a decision made that is in the best interests of all concerned. My concern is that our local government may not be properly assessing the problem and evaluating the potential solutions. If they rely on one or more of the potential outsource vendors to do this, they will certainly be provided with an answer that favours the outsourcing option. I seriously doubt that Whitewater council has the expertise to adequately consider all the factors presented in any such proposal. Any decision taken for this matter will have long lasting impact for the future and is not one to be taken lightly or prematurely. Certainly it is not a decision that can or should be taken without public input and discourse. I’m writing this letter to inform and encourage all ratepayers to make it known to Whitewater Council that this decision cannot be taken before completing the proper due diligence with adequate public input and representation.

To the editor: Over the past school year, St. Joe’s has been very blessed to have had a young and talented lady write weekly in The Mercury. Abby Hall was in Grade 9 when she applied for the public relations position and was voted in by the student body. She had no issues stepping up to fulfill the job of Victoria Slight, and has not let us down. Not only does she update our schools Facebook page, she also spearheads our Jag Journal, which is a student-run newspaper. When elections came around for

the 2013-14 school year positions, she was more than thrilled to be able to apply again. I am so happy to say that again Abby will be again representing us in public relations. The articles are very well written and she dedicates a lot of her time to make sure the public knows about up coming events in our school. I can say that I loved working with Abby this past year, and she did a truly fantastic job.  Breigh Whalen  Student council prime minister St. Joseph’s Catholic High School

Community loses icon To the editor: Thompsonhill and Renfrew have lost what some would call an icon. Not a politician, not a star athlete, nor someone who organized huge fundraisers, but rather, Peter Urbanski, whom I grew up with on the hill, died June 13, 2013. Pete was certainly a unique individual or, as some would say, a character. Some may attempt to initially focus on and find themselves looking at the negative side of this man but who among us does not have a negative side. But for those who think this way I would like to share with you who Pete really was. Pete was well known. Many times I would struggle to give directions to a home on the hill but really all I had to say was; “Do you know where Pete lives?” and then directions from there were usually easy. Most of us have a few people we could call friends. Pete had literally hundreds of people who considered him their friend. Friends who were doctors to general labourers from teens to seniors. This was most evident on the night of his death when I observed the huge number of people who showed up at his garage on the hill to get together and remember this

remarkable and one-of-a-kind individual. A sometimes gruff man on the outside, with a quick temper, I recall finding the odd tool which had been thrown into my garden which was outside his window of his garage, Pete would move past this equally as quickly. You rarely left Pete’s company without having a good laugh or hearing a good story or being informed of things happening around Renfrew. This was a man who was direct in his communication, speaking his mind and telling you the way he saw things whether you liked it or not, but underneath this, if you looked, was a soft person who genuinely cared about others and loved having people around and visiting him. He offered a place to learn to a number of co-op students from RCI for many years, many of whom continued to visit him long after the program ended. Pete loved to laugh and have a good time while sitting on his stool in the garage sometimes for hours and hours. At times, as many know, a risk taker and up to a challenge, he tried to live life to the fullest. Pete would help you in any situation if he possibly could; from lending tools, giving you

direction in repairing your vehicle, directing you to someone else who could fix your vehicle or finding parts or simply just talking about the world. A man whom some would say was not educated, but Pete knew almost everyone in Renfrew and how they were connected to each other. He had a remarkable memory of the past events in Renfrew and kept up to date with current events by reading the newspaper every morning before starting to work at his home based business on the hill. Pete knew cars and followed his dad’s footsteps with an interest in repairing vehicles and had been operating his business for over the past 30 years. I know he had some tough periods, but he never dwelled on these. I commend him for not once receiving assistance from the government. A proud individual, he dealt with these and other hardships in his own sometimes creative manner. Not a financially rich man, Pete was a millionaire in many other ways and will be missed in many different ways. Thank you, Pete, for bringing us stories, laughter and a unique way of looking at life. Grant Lavallee Renfrew

Who pays for library services? To the editor: In the week of June 10, 2013 the Renfrew and Arnprior newspapers published an article regarding McNabBraeside’s intention to “Survey to determine who pays for recreation, library services”. As chair of the Renfrew Public Library board I would like to bring to your readers’ attention to the library board’s views on the township’s plans to determine who pays for recreation and library services. First of all, the article makes statements indicating that the Renfrew Public Library had (in the past) and would provide library patrons’ names to the Township. Last year we stated that the Renfrew Public Library would not (and the library did not) provide library patrons names to anyone. I wish to reiterate that the Renfrew Library has not, nor will not, disclose the names of our library patrons; to do so is a breach of privacy and is in contravention of the Public Libraries Act. The newspaper article also advises that the township

council decided that library agreements will no longer be funded from the 2014 tax base. Instead, only residents using the town’s services and others agreeable to help them pay will be billed. (Grandparents and friends of users could also help pay for the services.) The township cannot charge residents a fee for library services if McNab-Braeside wishes to operate under the Public Libraries Act by entering into contracts with the Renfrew Public Library for library service, and, continue to receive operating funding from the province. The prescribed conditions of that funding from the Ontario government preclude charging residents a fee for library services. Under these circumstances, or, if the township does not enter into a contract with the Renfrew Public Library in 2014, the provincial grant to the township in all likelihood would be discontinued (and the library in turn would lose that funding). The rationale here is that

the provincial grant for libraries is provided through tax dollars from the citizens of the Province. For a municipality or township receiving this grant, asking taxpayers to pay extra would be taxing them twice and this is not allowed. In both of the above scenarios, the library would have to charge McNab-Braeside adult residents the ‘out of town’ user fee of $45/year. I would also like to point out that anyone wishing to support the Renfrew Public Library, including grandparents (!), can make a donation directly to the Renfrew library. A tax receipt for income tax purposes will be provided. I hope that this clarifies questions your readers might have regarding the provision of library services from the Renfrew Public Library to McNab-Braeside residents. The chief librarian/CEO of the Renfrew Public Library, Bettijane O’Neill, can be reached at 613-432-8151 to answer any questions. Lynda Janney Renfrew

MP should be listening to her constituents To the editor: Does our member of parliament trust a dictatorship more than her constituents? Such is the question provoked by the Harper government’s use of our tax dollars to contest the Hupacasath lawsuit in hearings from June 5 to 7 with the government denying any constitutional sovereign right of First Nations to be consulted prior to ratification of the Canada-China Foreign Investment Protection Agreement. For when the treaty was co-signed by the prime minister with China last September, it meant the regime had judged negotiations to be favourable to its Albertan oil investments – yet Canadian citizens cannot likewise assess the agreement if they are not informed by their MPs that it even exists. The Conservatives would surely have realized this last Oct. 31, when the leader of the opposition asked the prime minister

in Question Period why the Conservatives shut down parliamentary committee reviews of the agreement and did not publicly consult Canadians, with the prime minister providing an evasive non-answer. The treaty terms could be described as binding future Canadian governments with a 31-year exit notice, allowing Chinese statecompanies to sue for up to billions of our tax dollars, in unaccountable three-person tribunals, anytime we cut their expected profits with new “expropriating” laws. (See Articles 15, 20, 31, and 35 of the treaty text online.) If MP Cheryl Gallant believes otherwise but will not consult her constituents, she is not only trusting in the prime minister but is also trusting the world’s most powerful dictatorship to negotiate our own risks.

Crime Stoppers looking for local photographs for 2014 calendar Pembroke Renfrew County Crime Stoppers is currently in the planning stages for their seventh annual Crime Stoppers Cash Calendar. The program is looking for local scenic photographs taken within Renfrew County to put in the calendar. Photographs are needed to represent all of Renfrew County, and for each season. The public is invited to submit photos for the calendar with a fast approaching deadline of July 10. Crime Stoppers is looking for high quality scenic images or photographs of well known landmarks. Images of wild animals would also be appreciated as in the 2014 calendar, two images per month will be used; one of a scene and a smaller one of an animal, or nature. The image must be of sufficient size and quality to produce a clear 8x10 print. The

image also must be landscape. The calendar is a fundraiser for Crime Stoppers, and as a result there will be no financial compensation for the photographs that have their images chosen. However, they will receive a photo credit in the calendar. There will be 2,500 2014 calendars produced and will go on sale for $20 a piece. People who purchase the calendar are entered into a daily draw for prizes ranging from $25 to $1,000. Winners’ names are put back into the draw so they can win more than once during the year. For more information, or if you are a notfor-profit organization looking for a no-risk, no-cost fundraiser, you can visit the Crime Stoppers website at www.valleytips.ca or you can contact Constable Beth Ethier of the Upper Ottawa Valley OPP at 613 735-0188.

Aggressive driving hot on OPP’s radar this Canada Day weekend

“People are important safety partner,” says OPP

With people getting set for what is traditionally one of the busiest long weekends of the year, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is also gearing up for a busy weekend on Ontario roads, trails and waterways this Canada Day Long weekend. In particular, the OPP will be keeping a close eye out for people who display aggressive driving behaviour, whether in a motor vehicle, boat

or all-terrain vehicle. The OPP is reminding the public that speeding is not the only form of aggressive driving they will be watching out for over the weekend. Following vehicles too closely, improper lane changes, weaving in and out of lanes and a general disregard for traffic laws are all forms of aggressive and dangerous driving behaviour that put all road users at risk. As they have done in the past, the OPP will be looking to every motorist, boater and trail user to partner with them for a safe and enjoy-

able weekend. “People are finally getting the message that they themselves play a far greater role in keeping everyone safe than the OPP does. “We may be seeing the results of this positive attitude shift reflected in our fatality statistics this year, with the number of deaths on roads, waterways and trails we police at 110 compared to 173 this time last year,” said Deputy Commissioner Larry Beechey, Provincial Commander, Traffic Safety and Operational Support. “We want to see this positive trend continue

and one way to make this happen is to have everyone become our number one safety partner and to make road, boating and trail safety the same top priority as we do over busy long weekends and throughout the year at the OPP,” said Chief Superintendent Don Bell, Commander, OPP Highway Safety Division. Over and above aggressive driving, the OPP will be watching for: seat belt compliance; distracted driving; impaired while driving, boating or off-roading; compliance with Move Over laws; and use of boating safety equipment such as Personal Floatation Devices (PFD).

Pembroke’s Boundary Road East ranked worst in Renfrew County Following a record number of votes during the 2013 worst roads campaign, CAA North & East Ontario (CAANEO) has announced the highly-anticipated top 10 list. That list includes three roads from this region. From the North and East Ontario region, Timmins’ Kraft Creek Road was voted to the worst roads list for the second year in a row, at fourth, up from fifth position last year. Following its assessment of the roadway, the Ontario Road Builders’ Association (ORBA) reiterated concerns raised by voters, stating: “The asphalt portion is atrocious and

should be removed.” In eighth spot, from the ClarenceRockland area, Bouvier Road made its inaugural appearance on the list, which the ORBA referred to as being “a very poor road” in certain sections. A regular on the worst roads list, Carling Avenue in Ottawa was voted into ninth place by road users. Despite ongoing road reconstruction along sections of Carling, motorists continue to voice their frustrations with the state of this main thoroughfare. Four Renfrew County roads also cracked the top 60.

Each from Pembroke, they were Boundary Road East in 47th place, Nelson Street 57th, Maple Avenue 59th and Miller Street, also 59th. More than 450 roads were nominated to the list of worst roads. “Not only did this year’s campaign once again prove that any municipality, regardless of size, can make it to the worst roads list, but the more than 10,000 votes received reiterates that the state of infrastructure across the province remains a key concern for motorists,” said Korey Kennedy, manager of public and government affairs for CAANEO. This year’s top 10 worst roads

in Ontario are: 1. Dufferin Street (Toronto) ; 2. Burlington Ave. East (Hamilton); 3. Finch Avenue West (Toronto); 4. Kraft Creek Road (Timmins); 5. Bayview Avenue (Toronto); 6. Lawrence Avenue East (Toronto); 7. Wharncliffe Road South (London); 8. Bouvier Road (Clarence-Rockland); 9. Carling Avenue (Ottawa); 10. Stanley Avenue (Niagara Falls). This year’s campaign highlighted the need for municipalities to share a portion of the gas tax revenue in order to support improvements to roads, bridges and highways. While the provincial government has charged a gas tax since 1925, a dedicated fund

to assist with repairing municipal infrastructure is still lacking. “Gas tax sharing is needed now to prevent the further deteriorating of our municipal roads and bridges. Predictable and sustainable funding will enable municipalities to better manage their road and bridge assets, thereby helping to minimize the long-term road repair bill,” said Ontario Road Builders’ Association executive director Geoff Wilkinson. Since the campaign began in 2003, 90 per cent of all roads that have made the list in the past have been repaired, or are in the midst of being repaired.

Renfrew County crisis support clinic opens Clinic to focus on suicide intervention and de-escalation

A new mental health service is now being offered to youth and families experiencing suicidal thoughts, selfinjury behaviour and struggling to find healthy coping strategies during their emotional crises. The Renfrew County Crisis Support Clinic for Youth and Families opened its doors in Pembroke June 5 and in Renfrew June 6. The Pembroke clinic is operating out of the Ottawa Valley Health & Wellness Centre, 715 Mackay Street, while the Renfrew clinic location is 316 Plaunt Street. The Renfrew County Crisis Support Clinic is a co-ordinated effort between the Robbie Dean Family Counselling Centre and Sidney and Associates, in association with the West Champlain Healthy Community Corporation. The clinic provides a multi-tiered, community approach to engage, deescalate, assess, support, refer and educate individuals, families and the community on the subjects of suicidal ideation, self-injury and crisis. “When a youth is in crisis, a family is in crisis and when a family is in crisis, a community is in crisis,” said Monique Yashinskie, administrator of the Robbie Dean Family Counseling Centre. “We will provide a professional, timely response service to youth and families in crisis before it’s too late”. The Renfrew County Crisis Support Clinic will offer a multi-tiered response through three departments of service to the community, including: a) a walk-in clinic offering face-toface de-escalation counselling. The clinic requires no referral; b) a parent support group to learn and talk about healthy copying strategies; c) a community training centre. This nine-month pilot service will be available free of charge thanks to generous donations from local Rotary clubs. This initiative will offer an opportunity to gather valuable data that will support the need to continue of-

fering such a service. The crisis support clinic will enhance existing mental health resources by offering an additional entry point to meet a growing need for mental health crisis intervention services, particularly among youth and their families. The clinic will initially provide a once-a-week drop-in service where youth and/or family members can go to receive support during suicidal-related issues and support during their wait for long-term assistance. A support group will assist parents and families who struggle with their youth’s talk of suicide or engagement in self-harm. The group will focus on the family rather than the individual at risk. Starting July 9, this group will meet the second Tuesday of every month at the Ottawa Valley Health & Wellness Centre. The clinic will also provide free workshops to the community in the areas of suicide awareness, intervention, and self-injury awareness education. The suicide intervention workshop is internationally recognized as best practice under the title safeTALK. SafeTALK is facilitated by a certified trainer through LivingWorks. The free training will be conducted VALLEY Rotary CLUBS by a registered trainer with Livimg Robbie Dean Family Counselling Centre administrator Monique Yashinskie, director of clinic services Tom Works Sidney, Bob French, Ray Serre (holding the cheque), John Wilson, Dave Clarke, Kathy Loftus, Norm Edwards Registration will be required. and Joe Fontes, representing Valley Rotary clubs.

Renfrew and Deep River Witnesses attend convention in Cornwall Donald Walters

Jehovah’s Witnesses

Jehovah’s Witnesses from the Renfrew Congregation arrived in Cornwall recently for their annual convention. This was the third of six such conventions scheduled this year in Cornwall. Delegates, including Witnesses from Renfrew and Deep River, joined 2,800 others from Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley to meet at Cornwall’s Sports Complex. The theme of the convention was God’s Word Is Truth! Many people have often heard this expression and as-

sociate it with the Bible, and Jehovah’s Witnesses believe this to be so. Terry Buckwalt, local Elder of the Renfrew congregation, said, “the convention highlighted Bible truths, and the core of the program was the encouragement given to all in attendance to continue to look to the Bible as the source of truthful answers to the complex problems each and everyone faces in these stressful times.” Attendees could see from the presentations that these Bible truths really work, whether in one’s personal life, in a family setting or in the work

place. Instruction was provided in how to apply these truths. “To Witnesses,” continued Terry Buckwalt, “this Bible message is absolutely necessary if one wants to draw close to Jehovah God and realize the blessings of the Kingdom that Jesus taught us to pray for.” Sunday morning’s program was a highlight of the Convention with a drama portraying the life of Bible character Queen Esther. On the Saturday, 13 were baptized in symbol of their dedication to God and ordination as ministers of God’s Kingdom. Jehovah’s Witnesses attend their convention in Cornwall.

Community support Matacushie Community Development president Louis Johnson thanks the community for turning out for their recent fundraising dinner in Griffith. Sixty meals were served, with proceeds going to pay for dinner for the community. Johnson also thanks Pine Valley Restaurant owners Bert and Carol Kauffeldt for use of their facilities and supplying waitresses. Johnson, right, stands with the Kauffeldts, who hold two of their grandchildren.

Event planning aid would be beneficial to all, especially those planning fundraisers Doug and Gladys Sidock

As I am sure many people are aware, we have a very busy community. As volunteers working for various groups, we have had several instances in which events were scheduled, only to find that other events were in conflict. This situation affects organizers and audiences. For several years we have thought that a central event registry would be beneficial to all organizing groups or individuals. Since we are both retired now, Doug and I would like to attempt this undertaking, but it will only be beneficial if all groups, organizations, individuals in the community and surrounding areas participate. This is NOT an events calendar (although a calendar will result from the planning). It is a planning tool whereby you can discover which date could be available without conflict from other similar bookings. For example, this method could eliminate the possibility of hiring an entertainer for substantial cost, only to find that another organization

has planned a similar event on the same date. Our plan is to contact as many people as possible to develop an awareness of this process which would simply be to call us or email and discuss your date or dates so we could confirm any bookings at that time. This would allow you to plan alternatives before advertising. We are aware that in some instances events can occur simultaneously without affecting audience participation but awareness is usually a good thing. Fundraising events, of which there are many and are ever increasing, are susceptible to duplication of time and date. Should you have an interest in this plan, we would appreciate you calling or emailing us to register your group by giving us a contact name, phone number, email, so we can develop a list of participants to determine whether or not our idea is feasible. We would appreciate feedback as soon as possible, and it being positive we can proceed quickly to be ready for the fall activities . If you require more information, please call 613-432-2549 or email sidock@nrtco.net.

The Bittersweet Gallery in Burnstown opened its doors for its second annual fundraiser for Ovarian Cancer Canada on June 8. The event featured a spring jewelry trunk show with 10 per cent of the proceeds going to the Ovarian Cancer Canada Walk of Hope. The gallery’s backyard labyrinth allows walkers to join in close to home on Sept. 8. Above, the Burnstown Bittersweets brought the Walk of Hope close to home. They plan to march through the gallery’s backyard labyrinth. Denyse Campeau, Kathy Lindsay, Cheryl Babineau and Richard Gill stand at the entrance of it. It takes about one kilometre of walking to make it to the centre.

Last year, the Walk of Hope raised nearly $2.2 million. Director of Development Denyse Campeau and volunteer Lynn Griffiths hope to see a 10 per cent increase.

Renfrew Collegiate Institute salutes its athletic crop Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

At least three winners stood out in the athletics portion of the Renfrew Collegiate Institute’s year-end awards assembly. One was the junior boys soccer team for winning the school’s first-ever eastern Ontario soccer title, while the others were Devin Clouthier and Carly McHenry. Teacher Scott Buffam extolled Clouthier’s performance for his athleticism and attitude before presenting him with the award for outstanding male athlete. He applauded Clouthier, just shy of his 18th birthday, for his strength of character in such roles as captain of the senior boys soccer team and for his strong academics. He is valued and respected as a student-athlete who embodies athletics and academic excellence, Buffam told the assembly of students and staff. Clouthier played tight end on the football team that lost its league semi-final to Mackenzie, defenceman for the hockey Raiders who lost their county semi-final in overtime to Bishop Smith, and fullback with the soccer seniors who lost in the opening round of the playoffs.

Clouthier, who will return for a fifth year at RCI, said the best part of the year was just being successful with every team. McHenry didn’t disappoint, especially in badminton, as she and Jesselyn Carrier captured the bronze medal in girls doubles at the Ontario high school championships. McHenry also competed in cross-country running, basketball, volleyball and soccer. “Getting bronze was crazy,” said McHenry, 18, of the bronze-medal match that they won in two close sets. McHenry will again be a part of the RCI sports scene, since she’s returning for a fifth year in the fall. The top junior athlete was Austin Scheuneman, who scored twice as RCI won the Eastern Ontario title 5-0 over Hawkesbury. The top junior female athletes were Megan Bulmer and Andrea Martin, while the Frank Lynch Award went to the junior boys soccer. The award, which isn’t awarded every year, goes to a person or team whose accomplishments are significant. The Dr. Burwell Award went to Allison Martin for years of dedication to the RCI sports scene in such sports as volleyball, basketball, cross-

country running and soccer. Martin, who suffered a season-ending concussion Oct. 16 while playing basketball, heads off to Queen’s University this fall. Teacher-coach Adam Noack said Martin has been prominent not just as a competitor, but for her leadership qualities, initiative and donation of time as a scorekeeper and tournament helper. “It’s an award about character, perseverance and dedication,” Noack told The Mercury. Other awards included: • Golf: Most valuable player (MVP), Cooper Brown; • Basketball: junior girls MVP, Andrea Martin; Rachelle Fortier for perseverance and team spirit; senior girls - MVP, Adrianne Guty; Courtney Miller with the coaches’award; • Cross-country: John Pettigrew, Sam Agnew and Allison Martin as MVPs; Megan Bulmer, Carlin Jackes, Alan Sangerl and McKinley Ripley for dedication and improvement; Janessa Linton and Austin Jessen as rookies of the year; • Junior football: Alex Bechamp as MVP; Nick Hazen and Kaed Tymchuk as most valuable backs; Hunter Stubinski and Matt Stuart as most valuable linemen; Bran-

Bishop headed to IAAF World Championships in Moscow Steve Newman

steve.newman@metroland.com

Melissa Bishop’s victory at the Canadian track and field championships Sunday in Moncton left her bound for her first International Amateur Athletic Federation world championships. After accelerating to put a little space between her and the co-leaders, she pulled away down a windy homestretch to clinch a berth in August’s IAAF world meet in Moscow. In Sunday’s final, she was competing against two athletes who had already competed at the worlds, Lemlem Ogbasillassie and Diane Cummins, still the national record holder with the

2:03.96. It was also a weekend of back-to-back quick times for Bishop, who won the opening semifinal in 2:02.77. Her winning time Sunday came after a relatively slow first lap. Belleau-Belliveau took the lead for the bell lap. With Bishop still in contact with BelleauBelliveau and Hilary Stellingwerff on the final bend, Smith came up on Bishop’s shoulder to create a lead group of four. But she got no closer. “I made a little surge, then waited until I got past the corner, and I went for it,” said Bishop of the move witnessed by her parents, Alison and Doug, on the sidelines. “It was nice to go back-to-back with 2:02

races,” she said of her semi-final and final times in Moncton. That compares to her seasonal best time of 2:00.84, while last season she ran 1:59.82 to become the third Canadian to break the twominute barrier. The day after winning in Moncton, Bishop relaxed back in Windsor, where she trains regularly, and said she’s looking to get faster as the season progresses. At upcoming meets in Edmonton, Vancouver and Victoria, Bishop she says she’s also looking to help another Canadian qualify for the 800 in Moscow. Sunday’s win also qualified her for September’s Francophone Games in Nice, France.

1:59.46 she ran in 2004. Sunday’s race finished with Ogbasillassie a distant fifth in 2:04.09 and Bishop’s 2012 Olympic teammate Jessica Smith was fourth in 2:03.96. Bishop, at the moment, is the only Canadian headed to Moscow in the women’s 800, but that could change if Sunday’s runner-up, Karine Belleau-Belliveau, or third-place Cummins run the world championship B standard of 2:01.50. The fastest of the two, if both break the B standard, would accompany the 2012 Olympian to the worlds. Bishop won Sunday’s final in 2:02.84, with Belleau-Belliveau 2:03.14 and Cummins

Calabogie Highlands Golf Resort celebrating 30 years Joyce Hatt Calabogie Highlands

The Calabogie Highlands Golf Resort turns 30 this summer. This beautiful course, built on the shores of Calabogie Lake, boasts a view like no other. With its spectacular views of the lake and the surrounding hills it has been home to many golfers over the past three decades. As a child, owner Rick Fleming and his family called these rolling hills home. His father, a retired military man, bought the property in 1949 and used it as a cattle farm. The land was turned over to Rick when he was 18. He had 190 head of cattle grazing the fields. Other than the cows and the farm workers Rick and his family were the only ones able to appreciate the beauty of this property. One day a golf course designer happened by the farm and asked Rick to take him for a tour in his old jeep. He was wowed by the property and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This should be a golf course!â&#x20AC;? He couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say enough stating, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be an incredible place to build a course where people could enjoy not only the golf, but the incredible surrounding views.â&#x20AC;? Young Rick continued his farming but always remembered the words of the golf course designer and his vision. Rickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friend Bill Hodgins dropped around one day and asked Rick how much snow they get in Calabogie. Rick told him that Calabogie had more than enough snow for ski hills. Bill opened Calabogie Peaks and told Rick that Calabogie now needed a golf course. Rick began checking out nearby courses and started planning a new use for his farm. Five years later, Rick found golf course designer Bill

Dolgos in Montreal and the plans began. Bill insisted that even though almost all the courses in the Ottawa Valley at that time were only nine holes, all courses should be designed as 18 holes. He told Rick that nine holes was only half of a golf course. By this time, Rick had some built-in labour in his five kids who worked very hard to help ready the farm for golf. They pulled rocks, drove tractors and cleared fields. Family and friends worked together to see the vision come to reality. The first nine holes opened in 1983 with the second nine not opening until two years later. Rick recalls that after opening the first nine, the bank that helped finance his venture held one of the first tournaments. However, what was to become the second nine was still grazing grounds for the cattle and during the golf tournament, 160 of the 190 cows found their way out and crossed into the golf course. The competition continued around lost cows and lots of cow patties. Golfers were very careful about where they stepped and declared the cow patties as unplayable ground... free drop. Today golfers enjoy a similar experience with Hole No. 3, the infamous beautiful island hole. Only the geese and their young provide the free drops. In those early years the course opened at 5 a.m. and each day green fees sold out quickly. The second nine helped alleviate some of that congestion. Over the years Rick, his children and his former wife Debbie worked incredibly hard to bring The Calabogie Highlands Golf Resort to the beautiful and enjoyable course it has become today. Along the way, another nine was added

The Lakeview Course soon became a favorite to many who prefer to play nine holes while enjoying the beautiful Calabogie hills. A few years ago Golf Canada named The Calabogie Highlands as one of the top 50 golf courses in Canada. Shortly after opening the course, Rick be-

came one of the founders of the Golf Course Managers of Canada. He had learned the value of collective purchasing through his farming days and was able to translate that into huge savings for golf club owners when they banded together. See 30TH ANNIVERSARY, page 28

At this meeting, wrestling was one of three sports selected to be part of the ﬁnal vote that will happen on Sept. 7 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The two other sports on the short list are baseball⁄softball and squash. The Olympic Program Commission uses 39 criteria in determining a sport’s suitability for the Olympic Games. The criteria includes youth appeal, popularity, good governance, respect for athletes and respect for the Olympic values. The Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club has always promoted these values.

Feb. 12 of this year, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced it was recommending the removal of wrestling as one of its core sports on the Olympic Program.

Swimmers selected events based on their strengths, with each swimmer completing six races over two days, in freestyle, backstroke, breast stroke, butterfly or individual medley (IM). The Bluefish competed against nine other competitive clubs from around Eastern Ontario. In the 10 and under girls category, Emma Laughlan was the first Bluefish to touch the wall in the 25-metre freestyle, followed closely by Dani Wybou. Lauren Herter was first in the club for the 100m IM. The 10 and under boys powered their way to several successes. In the 25-metre freestyle, it was a Bluefish-owned event. Alex Wroe swam to first with Tate McIntyre in second, Carson Lefebvre third, Matteo Nixon fourth, Cameron Wyatt fifth and Austin Sparling sixth. Tate collected a first place in the 25-metre breast stroke with Austin swimming to second. In the 25-metre backstroke, Alex, Tate, Carson and Matteo made it a 1-2-3-4 Bluefish finish again. Tate claimed victory in the 50 free, with Cameron Wyatt picking up third place. Alexander Abercrombie collected wins in both the 50 and 100 backstroke. In the 11-12 girls category, Simona

A matter of continued existence of the species JIM FERGUSON Scene from the Hawkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eye young will survive their first year. Snowy owls normally lay four or five eggs, but will lay as many as eight or ten in years when the abundance of lemmings, their principal food source, provides enough food for the female to form the eggs and later feed all the chicks. Mourning doves lay only two eggs but the pair may have as many as five clutches in a season. Birds that build and lay their eggs in exposed nests, robins for example, will have up to four clutches in a season. It is a matter of continued existence of the species. SANDHILL CRANES

Bonnechere River Watershed Project

In Renfrew County, we are blessed with many streams, lakes and rivers and most of us are fortunate enough to enjoy life by water whether at a public beach, park, camping ground, cottage or waterfront residence. We appreciate the aesthetic, social, and recreation value of being by the water. But, in addition, healthy shorelines (the area where the water meets the land) also provide ecological and economic benefits. Natural shoreline is the easiest and least expensive way to prevent loss of land and property from erosion caused by flooding, surface runoff, ice push and waves (including boat wakes). Areas with a healthy shoreline sustain less damage than those without. The roots of plants, shrubs and trees form a web that holds the waterfront together. A healthy shoreline also provides a visual screen, shade and shelter from wind and enables our watershed to better respond to future stresses associated with climate change such as heat waves, more frequent and intense storms, droughts and flooding, all of which we have experienced this past year. Natural shoreline also helps to regulate water quality by acting as a barrier for 90 per cent of land-based pollutants such as seepage from septic tanks, fertilizers and pesticides, pet and animal waste, oil/gas and other spilled chemicals. All or most of that service is lost when natural shoreline is converted to other cover types including lawn (which has increased substantially on waterfront property in recent years)

because much of the sediment, and often lawn chemicals, run off into the lake rather than being filtered by native, deep rooting plants. One of the main pollutants of runoff from shoreline properties is phosphorous, a nutrient that can cause algae blooms and result in poor, sometimes toxic, water quality and increased cost for drinking water treatment. Simple ways to decrease phosphorus and other nutrients are to retain natural vegetation along shorelines, reduce agricultural runoff, use phosphorus-free fertilizer on lawns, picking up pet waste, use phosphate-free cleaning products and maintain septic systems. Shorelines are one of the most unique places on earth and our daily actions can have a huge impact on this delicate interface. Each of us can help to preserve the water in streams. lakes and rivers, which not only helps maintain or improve property values, but also sustains the enjoyable waterfront lifestyle as a place to rest and relax, swim, fish, and play! To better understand the health of our shorelines, a two-year, Renfrew County â&#x20AC;&#x153;Love Your Lakeâ&#x20AC;? pilot project, is currently underway through a partnership of the Bonnechere River Watershed Project, the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds (CSW), the Renfrew County Stewardship Coun-

First developed by the MNR it has since been added to by volunteer groups in the area. Now they have a Research and Education Centre where many programs are carried on all year round from bird counts to bird banding.

It is part of a larger â&#x20AC;&#x153;Love Your Lakeâ&#x20AC;? program being delivered by the CSW in partnership with the Canadian Wildlife Federation and local lake associations across five regions in Ontario, including Renfrew County. The purpose of the program is to assess shoreline properties and identify actions landowners can take to positively contribute towards the health of their lake. Last summer, 539 properties were assessed on Lake Clear and Mink Lake in Renfrew County. Plans for this summer are well underway. Each property owner receives a private, customized assessment report with a focus on features that are affecting lake health and recommendations for remedial actions. Each property ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association receives a summary report that provides a baseline for their lake.

Mike Wooldridge saw an injured water bird, possibly a duckling, near the Barnett Cottage on Calabogie Lake. The bird had most of its bill broken off. I phoned Ron Huntley and asked him to check the area as he walks there regularly. He reported that all he found were a few feathers. This is the fate of many water birds. Numbers show that only two of every ten birds fledged in this area will return to nest next spring. The size and number of clutches, nest security and the availability of food will determine how many young survive. The largest clutches of eggs are laid by birds whose eggs and young face the most dangers. Ruffed grouse, ducks, geese, wild turkeys will lay up to 14 eggs. The chicks are active within a few hours of emerging from the egg and are vulnerable to many predators, of the many a few will survive. Woodpeckers lay three or four eggs and the chicks remain in the very secure nest for up to three weeks. The adults guard the nest and ward off any predators. The young are able to fly by the time they fledge and in many cases are able to find their own food. As a result all the

Starting 9:00am June 24, 2013, requests for locates of Renfrew Hydro owned underground electrical wires will be made to Ontario One Call rather than through our Operations Centre. The number is: 1-800-400-2255 This will provide better service for those requesting locates. After getting a request for locates, Ontario One Call then sends the requests to member utilities and/or their locating agencies. Not all utilities are members with Ontario One Call at this time, however Ontario One Call will inform the excavator at the time of the request which utilities have been notified. There will be no change in the way we complete our locates in the field.

Father was so overworked and overtired this time of year Mary Cook Memories

Would he topple over and fall out of the rocker? Would he hit the floor with a thud, and maybe bang his head on the oven door? I was sitting at the kitchen table. I was alone. My sister Audrey said she had better things to do than waste time looking through Eaton’s catalogue. The three brothers were doing what they did every night in the summer... throwing balls, using their sling shots, or shooting off their BB guns. Mother was in the garden. It was just me and Father in the kitchen. The sun was still streaking through the west window, and the kitchen had been redded up, and bedtime was a couple hours away. I sat very quietly watching Father. He looked smaller, I thought. Maybe it was the way he was sleeping in the rocker. He didn’t hear his pipe fall to the floor, and the Ottawa Farm Journal lay across his knees unopened. His chin was on his chest, and I could see him breathing as his plaid shirt gently rose and fell. It had been a long day for Father. Chores were done before sun-up. The plow and other farm pieces of machinery had been moved on the stone boat to the back fields across the Bonnechere and over the West Hill weeks before. By the time Father was finished with the

morning chores, the milking done, and eaten his breakfast, he would be ready to take the team across the shallowest part of the Bonnechere and head over to the back fields. He would have picked up the basket of lunch Mother had made the night before, and we wouldn’t see him again until it was time to come back home for the evening chores. And so I sat and watched Father, and wondered if he would have enough strength left to even get out of his clothes and fall into bed. Dust off the fields still clung to his face. He had taken off his work boots and his heavy wool socks were covered in soil and bits and pieces of grass. I knew if he rolled down the legs of his overalls, there would be more trapped in the folds. I could see the edge of his combination underwear showing under his plaid shirt, and I wondered if I dared go and straighten up his head, so that he would be more comfortable. But, of course, that would waken him from his much-needed sleep. I wondered why he didn’t go to bed right after his supper, as I sat and watched his wornout body curled uncomfortably in the old rocker. But then, he wouldn’t be able to check on the barns, which he never failed to do before falling into bed. No, this was Father’s routine, and nothing was going to change it this time of year.

There were fields to plow and cultivate, and grain to plant, and scant time to do it in, as Father tried to outsmart the weather. And so, from dawn to dusk, Father, like every other farmer around us, was tied to the habits of the season. Father wasn’t a big man. The three brothers were all taller by several inches. My brother Emerson towered over him. But Father was wiry, and as straight as a die. But as I sat and watched him, I was scarcely breathing and making not a sound, so that I wouldn’t disturb his rest, I thought he looked so much older than he did before summer planting began. He was always so much more tired after supper this time of year. The heat of the day was heavy on him, and even though it was summer, he still wore his plaid shirts with the long sleeves. But he did give up his felt hat with the ear lugs, changing to his old battered straw hat, with the wide black headband, marred with the sweat off his brow. And I sat quietly, watching Father breath, not a muscle stirring in either of us. And I was overcome with a deep sadness, as I looked at him in the rocking chair, his feet in their usual place on the turned -down oven door. And I wondered, can someone die from overwork? What if one day he didn’t come home from the back fields? What would happen to us?

The sun had gone down behind the grape arbour, and the kitchen was darkening, but yet there was daylight, and I was still alone at the old pine table, Eaton’s catalogue unopened in front of me, and with my eyes never leaving Father. He would stay there until everyone came in from outside, banging doors, and scraping their feet on the mat, and tossing their bats and balls into the box beside the stove. Mother would stop a moment in front of Father and do what she did every night this time of year. She would tap Father on the shoulder ... she may have to do it several times to bring him out of his deep sleep. He would slowly raise his head, and look around the kitchen as if he were lost. I would move myself away from the table and go over to the rocker and pick his pipe up off the floor, and put the Ottawa Farm Journal on the bake table. Father would shuffle over to the bedroom door off the kitchen, turn to Everett and tell him to be sure to check the barns before he went to bed. And soon I would hear the creaking of the bed springs, and if I listened closely from my spot at the kitchen table, I would hear a deep sigh, and then the soft snores as Father settled down his tired body for the night. It was just another day, no different than the one before, and no different than the one coming after.

THE DOMINION HOUSE: The Dominion House was not sold on Monday, no offers reaching the reserve bid of the Hough estates; but auctioneer Dewey tells us that negotiations are on with a couple of parties, which may result in a sale before the week is out. He puts it this way, “Some one will wake up too late. It will be like the big hotel in Pembroke, it was a drug on the market for years. Went begging at somewhere between $3,500 and $4,000 and then the man who bought it doubled his money in a few months. That is what will happen here.” GIVEN PURSE IN APPRECIATION: Mr. A. W. Easton being about to sail this week on a two months visit to his old home in Scotland, the choir of the Methodist church gave him a “farewell” in the shape of a social on Mr. C.W. Tressider’s lawn, Quarry street, on Tuesday evening, and on the following evening a gathering of the church. Mr. Hughes, on behalf of the congregation presented Mr. Easton with a purse, as a tribute of their appreciation of his services as leader of the choir for some years. JUNE 30, 1938

Agricultural implements of our forefathers focus of presentation Blaine Marchand

Bromley Historical Society

Collector, antique dealer, farmer and former resident of Bromley Township, Bill Dobson will give a talk about agricultural and domestic tools to the Bromley Historical Society on Tuesday, July 2 at 7:30 p.m. The talk will take place in the Old Town Hall, 495 Micksburg Road in Osceola. His presentation will draw on his formidable knowledge of Canadian antiques. The founder and former editor of The Upper Canadian, a journal about antiques that is a must have for all collectors as it is a definitive source of information on antiques being sold and bought in Canada, Mr. Dobson has an extensive collection of 18th and 19th century agricultural implements housed in a museum he has on his farm near Smith Falls, Ontario. “Growing up on a farm in Renfrew County made me realize the time it took to do the jobs, particularly so in earlier pioneer times,” Mr. Dobson said in a recent interview. “I learned to appreciate the effort that went into pioneer life. I think one of the unfortunate things today is the on-going loss of the family farms. Many of the tools he has collected over 40 years are rare and are clues to understanding the daily lives of our ancestors and their struggles as they opened up Eastern Ontario. In this era of modernization and machines, they reconnect us to the early years of our ancestors and agriculture in Upper Canada. “My presentation will be fun and interactive,” he added. “I will bring various tools of that period. These tools tells us about the history of farming and the roles in the lives of our forefathers and foremothers.” Mr. Dobson left the area to take up a teaching position in Smith Falls in the 1960s. Until recently he was active as an antique dealer, but more recently he concentrates his efforts and shows his antique finds in four annual antique shows – in Perth, Odessa, Bowmanville and Kingston. The talk, which is open to the general public, will be followed by refreshments.

DENT: The Retail Merchant’s Association has hired a student for the summer but the position will not be a full time one right away, the president of the association said Tuesday. The association is in the process of drawing up a job description for the position he said. One of the student’s first assignments will be to clean up the inside of the IGA store so it can be used as a summer art gallery. Mr. Leob took over the lease when the store was closed he said, and is still paying rent on it. The association is also looking into the possibility of opening up the store for the summer and making it a local art gallery. At the moment they are aiming to open it this week to display crafts in conjunction with Canada Week, said Mr. Grist. PROMOTION COMPLETED: A television promotion of the town of Renfrew organized by the Retail Merchant’s Association has been completed and should be on the air sometime in the near future. The promotion will be broadcast on Pembroke Television station CHOV TV said John Grist, President of the Retail Merchant’s Association. Mr. Grist said the idea received overwhelming support from the merchants in the association, with close to $3,000 being raised for various businesses in town. The idea was also well supported by local industries and the town’s Chamber of Commerce said Mr. Grist. For help with research, contact Olga Lewis at olewis@sympatico.ca

Celebrating the Arts Students from every grade of Queen Elizabeth Public School proudly displayed their Celebrating the Arts exhibit June 12, as the gymnasium was filled with more than 1,000 paintings. Joining in the celebration was this group that includes the three art teachers who work with the students from junior kindergarten through Grade 6. The impressive display began at the entrance to the school, where students created a multiple-snakelike sculpture à la artist Dale Chihuly style and the guest book was accompanied by artist Edgar Degas’s quote: “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” Jayne Stevenson, who teaches art for several classes, said the exhibit is a chance for the students to express themselves. She notes that sometimes art is scary because things start with a blank page, but the art teachers remind students that even mistakes in art can be beautiful. Participants at the exhibit include, from left, in the front row, students Olivia Smart, Olivia Gravelle, Tal Stevenson, Gabrielle Carthy, Carson Hanson, Carson Moran and Kenya Stevenson; back row, teachers Gwenn Stavenow-Davis Shannon McMurchy and Stevenson, with her young son Taavi.

Senior kindergarten student Dusty Richard, 5, proudly points to this zebra, one of his artistic contributions to the Queen Elizabeth Public School’s art exhibit.

Products of this rendition of American artist Dale Chihuly’s work include tissue paper, special glue and paint. The artists were students from Grades 1, 4 and 6 at Queen Elizabeth Public School.

RCI students honoured for their academic, community contributions steve.newman@metroland.com

Renfrew Collegiate Institute’s annual closing awards assembly June 18 featured individuals and groups who made staff and students proud of their community, athletic and academic contributions. The emcee for the hourlong assembly was Cooper Brown, who this fall will attend Alabama’s Wallace State College on a partial golf scholarship. Those applauding the various award recipients, and the students in general, included principal Alanna Emon. Her lengthy address, which was read by viceprincipal Steven Bauerschmitt, ended by wishing the students a great summer and reminding them to make good decisions. Major award winners included the region’s Reach for the Top junior champions, with the RCI Raiders team of Josh Barnes, Adam Le, Devon Barber, Nickie Nagy, Valiyah Khurshid and Findlay Yates-Lavery. “The junior Reach for the Top team had one goal in mind this year – to improve on last year’s second-place finish,” said teacher Kathleen Mottershead to the assembly before presenting team members with the championship trophy. They earned it with a resounding win over defending champion Carleton Place. She also presented awards to the top Reach for the Top scorers, namely Barnes on the junior team and Adam Harvey with the senior squad. The senior team finished sixth overall despite beating eventual finalist Opeongo. Harvey’s teammates were Andrew Heaslip, Bruce Cole, Amanda Tubman and Zack Bidgood. Mottershead also recognized Interact Club members Laura Cobus, Megan

Hazen, Andrew Heaslip, Gracie Stewart and Andrea Villamere for their work on global and local projects that included raising $5,000 for a Free the Children initiative and $600 for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

Teacher Mike Wright presents a token of appreciation to student Joe Steele for his dedication to RCI’s annual and successful Relay for Life fundraising project for the Canadian Cancer Society.

MATH, MUSIC, ARTS AND DRAMA AWARDS

Award winners included Jeff Terry with the Math Award, Megan Hazen with the Chris Cunningham Award for excellence in visual arts, Ted Foley Drama Award winners Hailie Harris and Alex Spurrell, and Arts Award winners Zack Bidgood and Alex Spurrell. The Outstanding Music Award went to flutist Alex Spurrell and baritone sax player Jeff Terry, while recipients of the Ontario Educational Leadership Awards went to Sebastien Spurrell and Megan Terry. Band awards went to Bruce Cole, Danielle Fournier, Mark Hibbins, Riley Kluke, Johnny Le, Macy McGregor Courtney Miller, Catherine Penney, Gracie Stewart, Jeff Terry and Brent Villamere. Yearbook merit certificates went to Emily Belliveau, Morgan Eady, Danielle Fournier, Moira Friske, Robbie Inglis, Katherine Jamieson, Olivia MacDougall, Hayley McHale, Erika Tecter, Jeffrey Terry and Hannah Yolkowskie. Options Awards went to five of RCI’s 16-member team at the annual skills competition in Pembroke. More than 260 students took part. First-place recipients were Dustin Brown in cabinet making, Kayla Riddell in bridal hair and Connor Kewley for tire changing. A second place in the bridal hair team event went to Shelby Johnston and Kirsten Fex. Accolades also went out to student Joe Steele

New education programs to support Canada’s history James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages, has introduced a series of new measures to help promote Canadian history, including the first ever Government of Canada History Awards. “Canadians want to know more about our history, and these new measures will make our history more accessible to all Canadians, particularly our youth,” said Minister Moore in a June 11 announcement. “This is especially important as we ap-

proach Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017, which provides an unprecedented opportunity to celebrate our history and the achievements that contributed to the united, strong, and free Canada we know today.” New measures include: • A Canada History Fund will connect youth to their history through the first-ever Government of Canada History Awards, which will honour outstanding students and teachers who show an interest in celebrating Canadian history.

• The government will partner with the Historica-Dominion Institute to create two new Heritage Minutes per year from now until 2017. • Existing programs at Canadian Heritage will be strengthened to improve access to funding for local organizations that promote Canadian history in their communities, like local museums and youth groups. The total investment, funded from existing resources, is $12 million annually. For details, visit www.canadianheritage.gc.ca

Congratulations!

Big brother Colin is excited to announce the arrival of his new brother,

Did you know you have cancer-fighting powers? Well, you do. You (yes, you!) can fight cancer by becoming a volunteer with the Canadian Cancer Society. All you need to do is spend three hours selling daffodils or canvassing door to door, and you’ll be helping us fund research to help more Canadians survive cancer. And that’s a powerful thing. Three hours for you, a lifetime to a cancer survivor. To volunteer, visit cancer.ca/volunteerpower or contact your local Canadian Cancer Society office.

James Archie Craig

Two better parents we couldn’t have had, A loving mother & an entertaining dad. Both so caring and nurturing for our family, Examples of how we hoped we would always be. A great mom & dad and nanny & poppa as well, Always remembered in the stories we tell. Never forgotten by their family, And together in heaven we will eventually be. Always loved & missed Dani-Lynn, Gerard, John, Scott, Ken, Danielle, Dakota & Barry

Since Heaven has become your home, I sometimes feel I am all alone, But one day all the pain will cease, When God restores the missing piece. The years might wipe out many things, But this they will wipe out never, The memory of those happy days, When we were still together. God may have you in His arms, But I have you in my heart.

Those whom we love go out of sight, But never out of mind. They are cherished in the hearts, Of those they leave behind. Loving and kind in all his ways, Upright and just in all his days; Sincere and true in heart and mind, Beautiful memories he left behind.

JUBY, Dale – In precious memory of my darling husband Dale who walked through Heaven’s Gate June 24th, 2012. The moment that you died, My heart split in two, The one side filled with memories, The other died with you. I often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon my cheeks. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day, But missing you is a heartache that never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart, and there you will remain, Life has gone on without you, but it never will be the same. Sometimes I think I’m dreaming I can’t believe it’s true If I could have a lifetime wish A dream that would come true I would pray with all my heart For yesterday and you Until we meet again, Forever and always, your loving wife and friend, Diane

JARETT DORZEK In loving memory of our dear son, Whom we miss terribly, Jarett Dorzek March 27, 1982 – July 2, 2010 Where have the years gone, they have slipped away. We have been told it gets easier as the years pass by, Why then is it that the tears sting our eyes when you are brought to mind? You’ve touched everyones lives so deeply with your beautiful smile, calm ways and strong support. Your presence we miss, your memories we treasure. You were gone before we knew it, and only God can tell us why.

Jessica Fitzgerald June 27, 2012

I will always remember that morning, how could I forget? The day that fate stepped in, the day I will always regret. I cannot ﬁnd a reason to accept this in my heart. You changed my life forever, you were such a wonderful part. Your joy, your smile, your zest for life will always guide my way, You are on my mind forever, and in my heart you will always stay. What I wouldn’t give for one more beverage night with you! Missing you my friend! Ag

Patience is necessary this week, Aries. Without it, you will grow frustrated quickly over the course of several days. Relax and make the most of the situation. Expect to feel energetic and enthusiastic this week, Taurus. You may not know the source of all this energy and optimism, but that’s irrelevant as long as you enjoy these feelings. You may be feeling a little psychic lately, Gemini. Give your insights the benefit of the doubt and try to understand the message that is being conveyed. Some intellectual conversation has you aiming for bigger and better things, Cancer. You may start a few creative projects as a result of these discussions. Leo, don’t be surprised if some changes regarding your career come your way this week. A raise, promotion or a new job may be on the horizon. Embrace these changes. Virgo, a release of tension is just what you need. You may find that something that has been restricting you and holding you back disappears in a few days.

Libra, sheer luck that brings strange and wonderful things is in the big picture this week. The things that you have been wishing or dreaming of just may come true. Scorpio, a business or romantic partner brings good news your way. This news erases a funk that you have been in. The news may help you resume a goal you had abandoned. Sagittarius, don’t worry about an upcoming doctor’s visit. You may just get a clean bill of health from your doctor this week. This will definitely ease up some stress. You are full of creative energy, Capricorn, and must turn it into projects that may help you to earn some money in the near future. Get started while you are motivated. Expect some news that sheds light on a difficult issue that you have been trying to resolve, Aquarius. You may feel so relieved that a celebration is in order. Exciting changes are coming, and they all center around you, Pisces. It may be embarrassing being the center of attention, but try to enjoy it.
