Itʼs hard to say if the parking meters will go the way of the dinosaur, and disappear for good.

But thatʼs the hope of the Renfrew Business Im-provement Area, a group of town businesses that have successfully lobbied for removal of parking meters in downtown Renfrew and development by senior members of town staff of an “enhanced by-law enforcement program.”

The motion passed at Monday nightʼs council meeting calls for removal of the downtown parking meters by the end of 2012.

The implementation program, according to the motion, “may provide for a one-year trial period.”

The meters will likely be removed by October or November, with the possibility the meters wonʼt re-turn. Ironically, the town has delayed paying for the metering equipment. That outstanding bill is about $110,000.

A motion brought before council, after all coun-cil members presented his or her thoughts on park-ing meters downtown Monday, wasnʼt an offi cial recorded vote.

But Andrew Evans and Jim Miller were the only two councillors not to support the motion, which called for removal of the meters by yearʼs end and development of a more diligent bylaw enforcement strategy for drivers who donʼt abide by time restric-tions when parking downtown.

Farms Comes to Town event may be on last legsSteve [email protected]

Each year Grade 5 students from across the county meet at the Renfrew Armouries to meet area produc-ers and their livestock in a hands-on event known as Farm Comes to Town.

“It is a wonderful opportunity for all to come and learn a bit about where their food comes from, and how it gets to the kitchen table,” says Angela Field, chairperson of next weekʼs Farm Comes to Town.

Unfortunately, though, Field suspects the annual event Wednesday, April 4, may be the last.

“I think itʼs about 95 per cent sure itʼs the last one.

It really, really is (that serious),” she said.The negative impact of the new staggered-bells

busing system used in most parts of the county is the number one reason for the possible discontinuation, says Field. And a dwindling number of volunteers is the second, adds the chairperson, who is one of the eventʼs lesser-experienced volunteers. She joined Farm Comes to Town in 2004.

As a mother of two young kids, with a third child on the way, Field says itʼs frustrating to see how at-tendance has virtually halved in recent years. This year, participation will be just less than 200 elemen-tary school students, with students coming from only

Chalk River, Pembroke, Douglas and Renfrew.“We used to draw from Deep River, Petawawa,

Arnprior and pretty well the entire county,” said Field, who lives in Admaston-Bromley Township.

The guided tours once ran in the morning and af-ternoon for Farm Comes to Townʼs commodities (or stations) of dairy, beef, pork, poultry, bees, sheep, and soil and crop.

But dwindling participation, says Field, has meant two of the seven commodities are ready to drop out and four others are lukewarm about continuing.

From front page

Five council members supported the motion — Mayor Bill Ringrose, Reeve Audrey Green, and councillors Gail Cole, Clint McWhirter and Tom Anderson.

About 15 members of the public sat in the audience, including Renfrew BIA chair Lisa Vincent, who was extremely pleased by the decision.

“Obviously weʼre thrilled,” said Vincent. “We hoped we had the support of council, and it shows the concerns of our members are heard and are considered serious and compelling.”

As for what the future holds for downtown metering, Vincent speculated the motion will resolve a lot of related problems.

Itʼs time that enforcement was stricter, said Vincent, noting it was “resoundingly clear (from discussions during the public meeting, in particular) that there needs to be reinforce-ment because the fi nes (that few people pay) are looked on as a joke.”

Whatever happens, improved enforcement is a key part of the motion, said Mayor Ringrose. The mayor said higher fi nes, which will be shouldered by those ticketed for parking in-fractions, will leave the appropriate message.

EVANS’ SUGGESTIONS

Evans suggested property be set aside so employers and employees of downtown busi-nesses have a suitable place to park at a suit-able price, of $30 or so per month.

If enough of those parking spots arenʼt avail-able, near the main street, then he suggested the town look at buying additional property for that purpose.

Evans said his suggestions, for a sustainable downtown parking plan, were based on opin-ions he garnered from council, BIA members and the public at large.

Parking areas or passes or business employ-ers and employees could still be developed by the town, as they have been in the recent past. The same suggestion was made at the March 19 public meeting by Bob Flynn, owner of the downtown business, The Korner Hutch.

The new motion, however, could have long-term negative fi nancial implications, said Ev-ans following Mondayʼs vote. “There wasnʼt enough back-and-forth (discussion). They (council members) took the easy way out … this is going to cost us money.”

Coun. Miller said he wasnʼt distraught about the motion, just disappointed. The local resi-dents he spoke to didnʼt feel parking meters were a problem, but they were concerned about how some paid their fi nes and others ignored them.

“I donʼt think we resolved anything. I donʼt think the parking meters are a detriment to busi-ness downtown, I really donʼt,” said Miller.

Other council members spoke out in strong support of all or most of the BIA̓ s recommen-

dations brought forth in the March 19 meet-ing.

At the outset of Mondayʼs (March 26) dis-cussion on parking meters, Mayor Ringrose announced: “Now itʼs council turn to propose something and take a stand.”

Coun. Anderson strongly supported removal of the meters before yearʼs end for a 12-month trial, a three-hour time limit for anyone parked on the main street, and the townʼs adoption of a provincial offences bylaw ticketing system.

NOT MAKING MONEY

Coun. Cole prefaced her remarks with the comment, “Iʼve heard many people say we have the nicest downtown in Ontario. And credit is due to the business people in down-town and the BIA.”

Cole added that she wanted to see that repu-tation maintained by listening to what the BIA is recommending and pursuing a 12-month trial of no parking meters.

Rigid and effective enforcement of the townʼs bylaws (for parking and other issues) is also needed, said Cole.

“And just to be clear, weʼre not making money in parking,” added Cole.

She also stressed that the town isnʼt making money on the parking meters. The town re-ceives about $80,000 in parking revenue over 12 months, but the annual payout of $38,000 for a Renfrew Victoria Hospital equipment program often comes from the parking fund as well as local taxes, noted Cole.

In 2011, for example, $11,853 came from the parking fund, with the remaining $26,000 and change coming from the local tax levy. The year 2012 is the last of 10 years of the townʼs annual contributions to the hospital.

MCWHIRTER’S RESPONSE

Coun. McWhirter said the bottom line is that BIA members should know whatʼs best for its members, and that it behooves council mem-bers to listen to the BIA̓ s recommendations, including a trial with no parking meters.

He also asked for bylaw enforcement to “put teeth into the tickets” because the current sys-tem is a disservice to the town.

Reeve Green said she agreed with the BIA̓ s recommendations. Green said she supported the hiring of an outside fi rm for bylaw enforce-ment because town staff is already busy enough with other work.

“I think the meters, the way they are now, is a total loss,” said Green.

“Itʼs a joke. You get a ticket and some people pay and some people donʼt.”

Mayor Ringrose said a report would come back from senior staff members on how to put a better parking enforcement plan in place. He anticipated completion of a report in less than two months.

Teacher Mike Wright steps aside, following his presentation on plans for Renfrew Collegiate Institute’s Relay for Life, as students Joe Steele and Meghan Forgie tell council members about features in this year’s program.

Looking to surpass $500,000Steve [email protected]

Renfrew Collegiate Institute students arenʼt taking their reputation for granted, as one of the most prolifi c Relay for Life high school organizers in the province.

Already about 50 students are part of the organizing committee for this yearʼs sixth annual RCI Relay, as committee members start raising awareness about the May 25-26 grand fi nale and related fundraisers.

“With the $95,000 we hope to raise this year, that would bring us to over half a mil-lion dollars (over the six years),” teacher and Relay for Life staff advisor Mike Wright told Renfrew council members Monday night.

“So itʼs been quite a commitment for this tiny town, but weʼre the second high-

est fundraising (Relay for Life) fundraiser in the province behind a school in Guelph that has close to 2,000 kids.

“For a school of 450, weʼre doing quite well.”

Wright, whoʼs an annual fi xture on the organizing committee, was joined in the council chambers by the 2012 RCI Relay for Life committee chair, student Meghan Forgie, and student Joe Steele, chair of the fi nance committee.

They played a video with footage from a previous Relay for Life, including imag-es of cancer survivors walking the relayʼs opening survivor lap.

The video was accompanied by music that included references to always facing another mountain, another challenge, another uphill battle.

Following the video, Forgie and Steele spoke about how members of the public can nominate survivors for the event. The more survivors the better, the more survivors the greater the sense that this dreaded disease is beatable, was the message.

Steele and Forgie spoke about how the 24-hour relay kicks off at 7 p.m. in the parking lot across from the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. The parking lot essentially becomes a walking track that is lined with luminary lanterns that are lit in time for the 10 p.m. luminary ceremo-ny. Each lantern is a bag that holds a candle as well as tributes on the outside to one or more persons who have won or lost their battle with cancer.

The three RCI representatives at Mondayʼs council meeting also said this yearʼs event will be more emotional because of last weekʼs death of longtime RCI sports trainer Perley Black.

Black was a trainer with RCIʼs football, soc-cer and hockey teams, as well as with minor hockey teams in town.

Knowing so many members of the commu-

nity knew and liked Black, Forgie said its sad to lose him. Members of the organizing com-mittee had also hoped to hear him speak at their pancake breakfast and kickoff assembly on Thursday, April 5.

That assembly will be followed by the Relay for Life Community Awareness Day on Satur-day, May 5. It takes place with a bake sale and childrenʼs games at Low Square, car wash on the adjoining Railway Avenue and Tag Days at various locations around town.

Railway Avenue will be closed from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Relay for Life organizers are also hosting the Bonnie Kerr Carnival on Friday, May 11. Thereʼs admission to this 4 to 8 p.m. event at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre that features blow-up activities, fun games and tasty snacks for both children and adults.

The success of the local Relay for Life lives on, said Mondayʼs spokespeople, because can-cer creates a certain strength in supporters.

“Everyone is touched by this disease, wheth-er itʼs friends of family members,” said Forgie. “Weʼre all in the fi ght to support this cause as one community.”

Among the few thousand NDP faithful voting from home computers for Canadaʼs new opposition leader was Renfrew Countyʼs own Sue McSheffrey.

While unimpressed with e-voting delays – the party is in-vestigating who is responsible for attempting to tamper with the system – McSheffrey said there is no question that vot-ing four times to narrow down a victor was a sign of modern democracy at work.

“I love the format, watch-ing the convention live on computer,” she said. “The process was exciting. Itʼs the future of election races.”

While “not surprised” to see Montreal MP Thomas Mul-cair win in the end over party organizer Brian Topp, she la-mented that the seven-month preoccupation with determin-ing a leader meant issues such as the robocalls scandal were largely missed.

“We were a little too fo-cused on the leadership race for my liking,” McSheffrey said. “There were big things happening, so a faster race would have been better. But itʼs four years until the next election.”

Mulcair is expected to solidify the partyʼs elected members ̓ base in Quebec,

something many observers say is needed if the second place party expects to branch out and ensure they defeat the Liberals and even the Conser-vatives in the 2015 race.

“I think heʼll be very effec-tive,” McSheffrey said. “This is not the political infi ghting party of the Liberals.”

Considered a combative yet wily strategist – not unlike Prime Minister Stephen Harp-er – Mulcair was under attack by the Conservatives within moments of winning. They called him “an opportunist” and “divisive,” with “blind ambition.” He responded by saying Canadians are tired of school student behavior from national parties.

McSheffrey applauds a leader who is passionate, with strong convictions, and willing to go toe-to-toe with Harper.

However, Mulcairʼs grown more substantive in his at-tacks this week. He blamed the Conservatives for “kill-ing” the manufacturing sector in Eastern Canada.

The New Democrats expect right wingers to attack them as a tax-and-spend party. McSh-effrey indicated the party will have a two-pronged answer.

The NDP has run balanced budgets in a few lower-level governments. And, the past 30 years of trickledown econom-

ics that promised job creation through tax cuts have failed.

She also said Canadians fa-vour spending when it comes to social programs they – in-cluding Conservative support-ers – utilize.

“We donʼt have a spending problem, we have a revenue problem,” she said.

“Tax cuts have not created jobs, and many people – es-pecially people on pensions – are worried. We have a very different philosophy on how to run Canada,” McSheffrey said.

She isnʼt concerned Mul-cair will simply pull the party to the centre to fi ll the void left by Liberals.

The Liberals are largely remembered for campaigning on the left (promising social justice and more programs) but governing on the right (offering corporate tax and spending cuts.)

She sees the centre even-tually moved toward the left, both attracted to an NDP plan and repelled by a Conserva-tive track record.

In the last federal election, the NDP, at both at the na-tional and local level, fi nished ahead of the Liberals for the fi rst time. Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant did not return a call for com-ment.

Sat. March 17th-Bridge for FunTues. March 20th-Trip To CarlingwoodWed. March 21st-Derby Car Building

I had the absolute pleasure of speak-ing with Nishan Di Silva from the Best Western Renfrew, at the Brand NEW “Four Continents Restaurant and Bar” located at 760 Gibbons Road in Ren-frew; opening on March 30th, 2012. During our conversation, Nishan spoke to me in very high regards of the new and very talented Red Seal Certi-fied Executive Chef Roopesh Kakkat of the Four Continents Restaurant and Bar.

Executive Chef Roopesh Kakkat com-pleted the Culinary Arts Management from ITC Welcomgroup,Manipal,the best college in India, and had the op-portunity of completing his placement at one of the fastest growing Interna-tional Hotel Chains in the world “Shan-gri-la”. Later, Roopesh was employed by “Ocean Village ” which is owned by the very popular Carnival Line for Cruise Ships. It was here that he re-ceived the chance to work with Brit-ish Celebrity Television Chef, “James Martin” at “The Bistro”. After migrat-ing to Canada, he became a Chef at the Best Western in Gananoque and recently settled here in Renfrew to share his talents with the Ottawa Val-ley at the Brand New” Four Continents Restaurant and Bar”. Roopesh brings

with him 12 years experience as a Chef. The presentation of his cuisine was immaculate. As for the flavour of the dish itself , let me say this... the amalgamation of fresh spices kissed my tongue before it actually reached my mouth. This Indian dish was more flavorful than any thing I have ever tasted! Roopesh was very excited about the Sunday Brunch that they would be serving on a weekly basis. The menu is definitely an adventure to be experienced. Roopesh has many secrets to his fine cuisine, but they all start with the finest, fresh ingredients and spices. The exotic Salads and delectable sauces are all made from scratch.“To me food means explosion of flavor and taste. My idea is to bring a variety of delicacies from all around the world under one roof in Renfrew. I’d like to believe that people will come back each time knowing that every visit will be a new adventure with my Cuisine and we aim to bring this res-taurant as a benchmark in the culinary map of Renfrew” says Roopesh.

Joining Exective Chef Roopesh will be his Sous-Chefs, John Hogue and Chris Graham.

John Hogue has been in the indus-try for over 24 years now residing in

Arnprior. He spent more than 10 years in South Africa as an Executive Chef at a large Buffet House that seated over 400 people; BMW at the Nissan Plant in Pretoria, as well as; Executive Chef at the 4 Star Hotel in the heart of the Diplomatic Zone in Pretoria South Africa. John is looking forward to being Roopesh’s “right-hand man”. His talents will bring a flare to interna-tional cuisine from Greek, Italian, In-dian, Chinese, Tex-Mex , German and South African Cultures. His special-ties include Fine Dining, Salads, Buffet meal presentations and a great array of international experience.

Chris Graham was born and raised here in Renfrew. He has been cook-ing professionally for over 30 years. Chris has worked with some of the best Chefs in Canada from Whistler, to Kalona British Colombia. He is glad to be back in Renfrew where he has been re-united with his high school sweetheart and has a wedding in the near future. In bringing his great tal-ents back to Renfrew, Chris is looking forward to presenting a whole new cuisine to the Renfrew area. “This is exactly what our area needs and has never had...something different from the everyday meat and potatoes that we are used to”... When I asked Chris what his secret was, he smiled and said, “Butter and love”. These are af-ter all the key ingredients to anyone’s heart and tummy.

Be sure to experience the Multicul-tural, International Cuisine coming to Best Western Renfrew’s Four Conti-nents Restaurant and Bar. Travelling the world is not necessary to experi-ence the multicultural cuisine the Four Continents have to offer, you can ex-perience it here and your palate will thank you!

GRANDOPENING 5PM

Planting seedsto help thosemore in need

These young graduates are in traditional Mayan dress at their school in Sacala, Guatemala.


An April 21 fundraiser at Lourdes Catholic Church in Pembroke focuses on helping those in a very different part of the world.

The event is supports edu-cational programs co-ordinat-ed by former Renfrew County educators Richard and Susan Schmaltz.

The couple now lives most of the year in the Central American country of Guate-mala, overseeing new schools working with a Planting Seeds educational program. But their work has gathered attention abroad, particularly in Ren-frew County.

The ʻplanting seeds ̓philos-ophy of these schools values children for who they are in a caring and respectful atmo-sphere. The methodology em-phasizes creativity, decision-making and autonomy through child-centred learning activi-ties geared to each childʼs in-terests and abilities.

Supporters include Cob-den residents Ted Richardson and Shirley Hill, just two of several volunteers who have responded to the Schmaltzʼs request for assistance. They spend time each autumn in Guatemala, building furniture for the classrooms of schools being developed.

Last November, 20 volun-teers from the Ottawa Valley arrived at the Oneness Com-munity House in the Gua-temalan city of Antigua to build furniture for classes that opened in January 2012.

For four weeks, they built and painted tables, bulletin boards, white boards, storage cupboards, book shelves and cupboards for two new class-rooms, one for six-year-olds and the other for Grade 3. The centre is located next to the Guatemala City dump, where the poorest of the poor eke out a living scavenging for things they can use or sell.

This kind of volunteer work has been happening since 2004, as the Planting Seeds educational program contin-ues to expand. Today, the pro-gram operates the school at the Guatemala City dump as well as schools in the villages of Sacala, Tioxya, Parmos and Cuidad Viaje.

To allow these programs to continue, volunteers and fi -nancial support are needed.

Each autumn, people such as Richardson and Hill pay their own expenses to Guate-mala to help build this furni-ture, and a house.

At the April 21 fundraiser, Susan Schmaltz will give a talk entitled Oneness and Planting Seeds Education. Meanwhile, Ottawa Valley volunteers, like

Richardson and Hill, are talk-ing about their rich connec-tions to Guatemala.

Both say theyʼre apprecia-tive that they can help make a difference.

Richardson, a retired mem-ber of the Canadian Air Force and Cobden resident, will make his eighth trip to Guate-mala in November 2012.

Of his trips to Guatemala, Richardson says the time is extremely self-rewarding.

“The Mayan people we work with are the most gentle, loving people in the world. They just havenʼt had a fair shake. Theyʼre still working for $3 and $4 a day.”

To which he adds: “We have no idea how much we have until we go somewhere else. But the only thing that will conquer poverty is education. Thereʼs no other way. When you feed people, you just end up feeding people. But if you educate, they end up produc-ing their own food.”

Hill accompanied the volun-teers to Guatemala the second year Richardson went down. And she, too, was deeply af-fected.

“Itʼs really hard to explain what it does to you, but once youʼre involved you canʼt stop going back,” she says.

“When you go outside your comfort zone, or a situation thatʼs totally foreign to what youʼre used to, you donʼt feel as guilty because you give what you can give.”

Hill calls her visits to the Central American country life-changing. Now, she says she appreciates her own relation-ships more and has learned to fi nd the good in small things.

In contrast, she says some

working conditions in Gua-temala are shocking, like the way local workers have to lit-erally tie themselves to trees while planting coffee beans on the side of precariously-steep slopes.

Since several volunteers visit Guatemala in Novem-ber, they often witness the end-of-school-year graduation ceremonies and the graduates ̓sense of accomplishment.

Circle of Oneness members who are organizing the April 21 fundraiser say Camino Seguro is a beautiful place in the midst of an otherwise very ugly part of the city.

An accident took the life of the daycare centreʼs direc-tor in January 2007, but Rich-ard Smaltz was asked to help out, and accepted the role of executive director in January 2011. Richard and wife Susan had previously volunteered at the centre, where 550 children are now receiving education, social services and a chance to move beyond poverty.

Camino Seguro is also among the areaʼs Planting Seeds schools, whose teach-ers have been trained by Su-san and program coordinator

Madeli Quinones. She is also a part-time university student, whose education is being made possible through fund-ing of the Circle of Oneness

based out of Renfrew County. Susan Schmaltz, and pos-

sibly Richard, will attend the April 21 fundraiser in Pem-broke to talk about develop-

ments in Guatemala and to enjoy an evening of Guatema-lan food, music and a silent auction.

There are two prices attached to any purchase. One price is the hard and fast one – the barebones dollars and cents.

The other price is less tangible, a mea-surement thatʼs hard to defi ne because its true value is based on something yet to happen. Its foundation is grounded in the ever-elusive future.

At its March 15 meeting, Admaston-Bromley council received local house-hold hazardous waste stats and identifi ed a true bargain, by any measure.

After a 2010 credit, the township paid $81.13 last year for its residents to access the depot at Renfrewʼs landfi ll site.

There are few sectors of any munici-pal, county, provincial or federal budget where decisions are so critical to every aspect of life as the environment.

When we trash our natural environ-ment, the impacts are felt everywhere, from agriculture to the health of citizens.

Renfrewʼs household hazardous waste depot runs from May to mid-August.

“Itʼs just a great encouragement to our people – wonderful, wonderful,” said Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe. “itʼs a real good deal. Itʼs a good news story.”

VOLUNTEER SPIRIT

Admaston-Bromleyʼs vibrant recre-ation community is strengthened by the addition of two new members to the townshipʼs Wards 1 and 2 (Bromley) recreation committee: Anne Trainor and Maureen Enright.

Ellen Milosek and Leanne Enright have been welcomed as new members of the Admaston-Bromley Public Library board. Meanwhile, the board said fare-well to Cathy Dale at its Jan. 17 meeting. Dale was thanked for her many years of hard work and dedication to the board, especially her service as board treasurer.

GOOD WORK, NEIGHBOUR

Once every year, residents of Admas-ton-Bromley Township have the chance to give a well-deserved tip of the hat to a fellow citizen through Citizen of the Year and Senior of the Year awards.

The honours, which are presented at the townshipʼs July 1 Canada Day cel-

ebrations, recognize citizens who have made Admaston-Bromley a better place in which to live,

“We need these nominations,” Mayor Briscoe stressed.

“Itʼs not an arduous process,” the mayor added and noted that any citizen who has a name in mind can drop by the township offi ce and staff will do all they can to help prepare the nomination.

For more information, call the town-ship offi ce at 613-432-2885 or email [email protected]. Nomina-tions can also be mailed to 477 Stone Road, RR 2, Renfrew, Ont., K7V 3Z5.

The deadline for nominations is Wednesday, April 18 and council will choose the winners at its Thursday, April 19 meeting.

HIT PARADE

Fast on the heels of its offi cial launch, Admaston-Bromleyʼs new website proved popular in February. The most popular items were the township calendar with 4,000 hits, news and notices (205) and contact link(194).

POWERLESS IS POWERFUL

The world is gearing up for Earth Hour 2012 – an hour dedicated to sending a powerful, electrically-powerless message for action on climate change.

Local residents are encouraged to join hundreds of people, businesses and gov-ernments around the world and turn off their lights Saturday, March 31 from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m.

One person sure to be watching the clock is Mayor Briscoe who admitted she and husband John were a bit too over-zealous last year. They actually turned off their lights one week early, and were puzzled why neighbours werenʼt follow-ing suit.

Earth Hour is the largest environmen-tal event in history. Last year more than 5,200 cities and towns in 135 countries worldwide participated.

TRASH TALK

Some reports warrant a serious sec-ond look. Thatʼs the case with a report received by Admaston-Bromley council March 15 on recycling.

Mayor Briscoe is particularly con-cerned that logical trends are not being refl ected in the Osceola -Douglas stats.

“When household waste goes down, recycling should go up,” she observed. But that is not the case. Osceola-Douglas recyclables were up to 46.83 tonnes com-pared to 44.13 the previous year. Oddly, waste also rose, from 324.20 tonnes in 2010 to 390.29 last year.

Electronics recycling is up, almost tripled in tonnage, while tire recycling is down, from 2,709 in 2010 to 1,376 last year.

Briscoe urged residents to use all of the recycling services available to them, to avoid costly landfi ll expansion.

“Every tonne that comes out of there is huge,” said Briscoe. “Thatʼs what we want – waste down and recycling up.”

At the present time, Admaston-Bro-mley is meeting the recycling benchmark set by Waste Diversion Ontario.

In 2011, total recycling in Admaston-Bromley was 19.98 per cent. The rate in 2010 was 20.83 per cent, and in 2009 was 18.56 per cent.

On Feb. 9 Minister of the Environ-ment Jim Bradley announced the Dalton McGuinty governmentʼs commitment to refocus its attention on the provinceʼs waste diversion goals.

TRAINING DAYS

Training is the main order of business on a number of fronts next month.

• Admaston-Bromley chief building offi cial Dennis Fridgen will be hosting a two-day course for all Renfrew County building offi cials April 3 and 4 at the Stone Road council chambers. The course will cover mandatory and enabling en-ergy effi ciency and minimum insulation levels as they apply to houses only.

• April 26 and 27 the County of Ren-frew hosts a two-day workshop on parlia-mentary procedure and minute-taking.

BUDGET BANTER

Admaston-Bromley has been meeting weekly in preparation for the townshipʼs 2012 municipal budget and setting of the local tax rate.

The draft budget is scheduled to be presented at councilʼs April 5 meeting, with fi nal passage later in the month.

Household hazardous waste service a deal

Peter [email protected]

Greater Madawaska Township was the fi rst municipality to respond to Ren-frew Countyʼs review of its bridges and culverts policy. In 1997, the county took over all bridges and culverts, but recently proposed transferring them back to the municipalities.

Several municipalities are on board with Greater Madawaska which is against taking over the bridges.

“It affects a signifi cant number of mu-nicipalities. I donʼt think itʼll pass the way it was presented,” Greater Mada-waska Mayor Peter Emon said.

“Iʼll know more after the (March 29) meeting of county council,” Mayor Emon told council last Thursday.

VOLUNTEER NIGHT

The fi rst Greater Madawaska volunteer appreciation night was held March 14.

Many on council received a number of comments on the evening.

“It came with mixed reviews,” Coun. Bruno Kierczak said. “What I failed to do is allow people to evaluate the night.”

Kierczak said heʼll put together ques-tions to give people the opportunity to of-fer thoughts on the night.

“My feeling is, there wasnʼt enough about them (volunteers),” Coun. Brian Hunt said.

“Our message is, we want to improve.

Let people tell us where we can improve,” Coun. Kierczak noted.

“Even though we didnʼt do everything right, it was good that it was done,” Coun. Hunt added.

EARTH HOUR

Council is asking township residents to observe Earth Hour Saturday, March 31.

“You shut off your lights and conserve energy for an hour,” Mayor Emon ex-plained.

People all across the world participate in this campaign, the Earth Hour Canada team at World Wildlife Fund pointed out in a press release. Earth Hour locally runs from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. Saturday.

SPEED BOARD

Coun. Glenda McKay informed coun-cil that the OPP speed board was recently set up at Majestic Way.

The speed board is shared by munici-palities in the area.

It keeps results on the number of cars that pass through the area, and their rate of speed.

It was set up on Fraser Road recently and none of eight cars exceeded the speed limit. Mayor Emon said that was good to see.

The speed board will be put to use in the township again in the near future, Coun. McKay added.

WINTER SAFETY

Griffi th-Matawatchan held a winter safety workshop at the Lions Club hall Feb. 25.

“They had 10 people out. Seven were kids,” Coun. Karin Lehnhardt said.

She added that fi re chief Betsy Sayers instructed and put a lot of work into the event.

They plan to hold next yearʼs work-shop in January, closer to the start of the winter season.

EXEMPTION PERMIT

Calabogie MotorSports has applied for a special exemption noise permit for two events during the 2012 season.

The permit will allow Calabogie Mo-torSports to host the 2012 International Motor Sport Association GT3 Challenge Cup in August, and the 2012 Ted Powell Memorial Race Friday, Aug. 31 to Sun-day, Sept. 2. The committee of the whole has forwarded this to todayʼs March 29 council meeting.

FIRE BAN

Greater Madawaska Council imposed a fi re restriction prohibiting grass fi res until further notice, because of unseason-able high temperatures and dry condi-tions. Call the fi re department informa-tion line at 613-433-2545 for updates.

One road in Renfrew County made 2010 worst-roads listSteve [email protected]

Ontarioʼs Worst Roads Campaign is back on the roads after an 18-month hiatus.

Korey Kennedy, manager of public and gov-ernment affairs for CAA North & East Ontario, has been visiting eastern Ontario communities to talk about the worst-roads campaign that pre-viously featured a top-20 list of worst roads.

Once a late-summer campaign, now it takes place in the spring, with hopes of heightening attention on roads that may be in their worst state following the spring thaw.

The campaignʼs new features include a new top-10 list, to replace the top-20 list, and Google maps that allow voters to view the sec-tion of road they might wish to identify with their vote.

Three eastern Ontario roads made the 2010 list. Cecelia Street in Pembroke was 13th, while Ottawaʼs Riverside Drive and Carling Avenue were 14th and 20th respectively.

Heading the list were Pelican Falls Roads of Sioux Lookout, runner-up Vermillion Lake Road of Greater Sudbury and third-place Law-rence Avenue of Toronto. Other municipalities whose roads made the list were Hamilton, Os-hawa, Niagara Falls, St. Catharines, Thunder Bay and Belleville.

The campaign, which has existed since 2003, is intended to provide greater promi-nence to roads that, in voters ̓minds, require seriously upgrades.

To date, Kennedy says the campaign has helped garner a 90 per cent success rate. In other words, 90 per cent of roads on the worst-roads lists have received, or are scheduled to receive, funding for repairs.

“Based on the research weʼve conducted, we compliment the provincial and federal gov-ernments for doing their utmost to assist mu-nicipalities … with respect to transportation infrastructure,” said Kennedy.

“However, itʼs no secret that in order to maintain and improve Ontarioʼs decaying in-frastructure, Ontario municipalities desper-ately need both senior levels of government to

provide them with long-term sustainable fund-ing for this infrastructure.”

Challenges along the way, said Kennedy, in-clude the fact only a minimal amount of HST collected from gas sales goes to municipalities for transportation infrastructure.

FOUR-WEEK CAMPAIGN

CAANEOʼs ninth worst-roads campaign kicked off Tuesday, March 27 and ends Tues-day, April 24.

Voters can cast a ballot at one of eight CAA-NEO Travel Stores or online at www.worst rorads.ca.

This yearʼs theme is Help Pave the Way to Safer Roads.

In recent years, Kennedy says about 8,000 to 10,000 votes have been cast in the worst-roads campaign.

To generate higher voter support for a par-ticular road, a strategic focus can be important, said Kennedy. Evidence was the success that Sioux Lookoutʼs Pelican Falls Road generated in 2010 to top the worst-roads list.

“Weʼre pleased Sioux Lookout was able to fi nish fi rst overall, and that Renfrew and other smaller communities, if they so desire, can do the same, to receive the necessary attention

and repairs.” The campaign is sponsored by CAA̓ s North

& East, South Central and Niagara regions in Ontario, and the Ontario Road Builders ̓Asso-ciation.

Staggered bells busing system blamed for big drop in numbersContinued from front page

Steve Schultz, who chaired the Farm Comes to Town committee for seven years, up to 2010, is concerned that the event wonʼt continue.

“Weʼre at the point where weʼve got to make changes,” said the Douglas dairy farmer, whoʼs still one of the showʼs volunteers.

“The staggered bells has caused us some problems,” he added.

One possible suggestion, which heʼs heard from school sources, is to change the school section to a Grade 4-based program.

“Itʼs a great opportunity to meet kids and tell them what we do, but now we have to fi nd a way to make it work.”

But even a change of grade wonʼt help with

participation numbers.The staggered-bells busing system, say both

Field and Schultz, has meant many schools can no longer get buses to these type of fi eld trips.

The guided tours once ran in the morning and afternoon, but the lower numbers this year means just one guided tour. It will run from 10 to 1:30 p.m., with a half-hour lunch break.

Farm Comes to Town is also open to the public from 5 to 8 p.m. There is no admission charge, but donations are welcomed.

Asked what might salvage Farm Comes to Town (and other fi eld trips in the area), Field replied, “Maybe (the school boards could) try to put a few more buses on the road, so pro-grams like this donʼt have to be shot down.”

To the editor:I am writing this letter in

response to Mr. Edwards ̓let-ter “Combining Public and Catholic Schools in Rural Ar-eas Makes Sense” published in last weekʼs edition of The Renfrew Mercury.

I am a St. Josephʼs Catho-lic High School graduate, and feel it my responsibility to defend a school that so beauti-fully impacted my life.

That being said, I greatly respect Mr. Edwardsʼ, and many otherʼs view on this top-ic and understand where they are coming from. However, I would like to briefl y explain why I cannot agree.

Mr. Edwards explained how, due to low enrolment in rural schools, high schools are often unable to provide the great number of courses that the Ministry of Education has available.

Yes, this is true. However, when I was in high school I did not fi nd this to hinder my success. Teachers were more than willing to accommodate and assist in any way possible to make up for not being able to provide a certain class.

I donʼt feel that a schoolʼs inability to offer courses is an excuse to do away with a school and instead combine two schools. If we were to join the two high schools in Ren-frew, for example, the joined school still would not hold a candle, enrollment wise, to schools in large cities, there-fore, still facing issues of not being able to provide every course.

It is impossible to please everyone, and provide every course a student may need or wish to take.

I spent last year volunteer-

ing with a Catholic Ministry in Alberta working in schools and with students. I have experienced fi rsthand large high schools and elementary schools in larger centREs, both Catholic and Public. I have nothing against these schools, but here is what I no-ticed.

Increased enrolment means that the teachers donʼt know your name. You become a number or a face in a class-room. I found that being called by name and known by nearly every teacher in my high school was one of the most important things. That is lost when enrolment and staff at a school increases. I think that one of the greatest bless-ing of being in a small rural high school was having the staff of teachers, secretaries, janitors, etc., know you. They were able to give me advice and guide me. They offered support when I needed it and had their doors opened for every student. I found that at larger high schools the teach-ers and staff knew a select few students. If you were quiet or struggling, you often slipped under their radar. This isnʼt the fault of the staff, but rather the overwhelming number of students they encounter in a day and the human inability to remember everyone they meet.

I know many students who have attended schools in the Valley. Public or Catholic, it didnʼt matter, students like small schools. If you struggle in school having teachers who know and understand that is key to your success. Smaller schools allow teachers more one-on-one time to help stu-dents succeed. This is lost a lot

of the time in bigger schools. Now, from a Catholic point

of view, I would be greatly saddened to lose Catholic schools. You can argue all you want, and say that Catholic schools have lost the “Catho-lic” part and really are no dif-ferent than public schools, but I will disagree every time. Catholic schools are beauti-ful things! I know they arenʼt perfect and sometimes things are said or done that make us question the point of even having a separate system, but I donʼt think that outweighs the good they do. St. Mi-chaelʼs school in Douglas and St. Josephʼs High School in Renfrew were both key ele-ments in making me the per-son I am today. They have a beautiful staff that provides a great Catholic support system for students. The access to a Chaplin in high school was life changing for me and for others as well. St. Joeʼs is un-believably lucky! They have the Blessed Sacrament in the school chapel. So, no matter what anyone says, that school is blessed beyond belief, and cannot fail with Jesus in the Tabernacle in the chapel!

Please, all of you who at-tend Catholic schools, or who have children there, donʼt let the Catholic system go. Itʼs a blessing! It changed my life. Give it the chance to change yours and your childrenʼs. Small schools are what made school for me.

I donʼt think I could have succeeded in a big school and have just turned into a num-ber. Small schools are part of us, part of the Valley. Keep them!

The human spirit is a magical thing. And it often shines brightest in the darkest hours.

When Deslaurier Custom Cabinets Inc. suf-fered a devastating fi re two years ago, the Ren-frew and area community feared the loss of one of its premier employers and manufacturers.

But the business has risen like a phoenix from the fl ames of that cold winter night to un-derscore its status as a major player in Canada and beyond.

And its success is in no way by accident, but by planning and perseverance.

An optimistic entrepreneurial spirit cannot be held down, and Jim Deslaurier and Denis

Staples are living proof.Today, the business duo is featured in one of

todayʼs top-selling books, That’ll Never Work - Business Lessons from Successful Canadian Entrepreneurs.

The book, released by KPMG Enterprise, turns a negative phrase into a rallying cry for businesses everywhere.

Anyone who watches the CBC television program Dragonʼs Den knows of Jim Treliv-ing, chairman and owner of Boston Pizza In-ternational Inc.

His endorsement of the book says it all: “The experiences shared in That’ll Never Work

are very insightful and practical and I would recommend it to any entrepreneur, business owner or anyone working in a family business today.”

In the book, Deslaurier Custom Cabinets director of business development Jim Deslau-rier and president Denis Staples are profi led and their business story told in a chapter aptly titled, Where Thereʼs a Will, Thereʼs a Way – Turning Tragedy into Triumph.

Business owners have much to learn from the 19 businesses featured in the book, but the lessons are applicable well beyond the busi-ness world.

These compelling stories are a reminder of the pure power of optimism.

Regardless of oneʼs lot in life, thereʼs al-ways room for improvement. But when the words “no” or “cannot” become a common part of oneʼs everyday vocabulary, life can be an uphill slog indeed.

It is our responsibility, as citizens in a civ-il society, to celebrate the success of those around us and know that good news breeds good news.

And the more we say “yes” and “can” and “together,” the better our lives will be, both personally and as a community.

To the editor: Re: Combining public and Catholic schools-

Mar. 22/12Public school teacher Terry Edwards pres-

ents a reasonable argument for combining pub-lic and Catholic schools and I agree in so much as we need to have some dialogue about the future of education in rural areas.

From the day public school funding was fi nally approved for Catholic schools, succes-sive provincial governments have had no rec-ognition of them.

As far as the province was concerned, Cath-olic schools didnʼt exist, except for funding. For this reason alone, Catholic schools should be wary of any plan to join the school systems, but there are plenty more.

Most parents, of all faiths, send their chil-dren to Catholic schools because they want faith-based education. Having a few moments set aside for these children to receive religious instruction each day just doesnʼt cut it and we all know how the government wants to take

God out of the classroom like they did in pub-lic schools.

Years ago our rural municipalities made a huge mistake when they transferred the re-sponsibility for schools to the province. In ru-ral areas we need to get away from the ʻmade in Toronto ̓ school curriculums and create back-to-basics education that allows teachers to take back control over their classrooms and curriculums that donʼt make parents leery of sending their kids to school.

Catholic schools need to get out from under the thumb of public funding, but not to join public schools. Faith-based schools should be funded locally and controlled locally. The To-ronto-based model has proven to be a failure.

Taxpayers should be able to have their school taxes go directly to the schools of their choice and be tax deductible. It is our right and our responsibility to educate our children, not some strangers in other cities.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

A reasonable argumentTo the editor:

RE: Too little monitoring, too much speed-ing on Veterans Memorial Boulevard (March 8/2012)

I echo the sentiments of D.J. Dean. I unfor-tunately have witnessed fi rst-hand what hap-pens when people speed and donʼt take their time on the boulevard, especially in the school zone. I was hit by a car in the crosswalk outside of Queen Elizabeth Public School on Sept. 21, 2010.

I was on my way to work just before noon when I was struck. I waited on the sidewalk to let the traffi c stop. I then looked around, stepped out into the middle of the crosswalk and when I looked back up, there was a vehicle in my path.

I tried to step back but couldnʼt and I was struck. The driver never saw me entering the crosswalk and confi rmed that upon consulta-

tion. She was behind the truck that had stopped to let me cross and without realizing why he was stopped, pulled out from behind it and pro-ceeded to enter the crosswalk.

Fortunately, I only suffered a bruised shoul-der. It was distressing that in just over an hour, there would have been children crossing dur-ing the lunch hour.

I stress to the Renfrew Police, they need to be patrolling this area better at various times during the day better than they do. I am just afraid that the next time, someone may not be so lucky.

I am just grateful that is was me, an adult, rather than a child.

They may have been hurt worse than I was. I would like people to think about this the

next time they are travelling on the boulevard.Jennifer Kasaboski

More street patrol needed

To the editor:How many alcohol containers can be col-

lected in a walk of 1.5 hours?I would like to think that one is one too

many!A walk along a curvy section of River Road

produced a collection of 82 assorted beer cans, bottles, alcoholic beverages and even litre bot-tles.

It could have been 92 except my husband and I could not stuff one more thing into the bags we brought along for our experiment.

Some areas along the road are still snow-covered so there are bound to be more as the snow disappears.

Yes, the snow is melting and with that the debris along the roads is uncovered. However, disturbingly, a daily walk any day from spring to fall we are bound to come home with a few or enough to fi ll one or two bags.

There are curves in the road where we walk, so not only are people breaking the law by drinking while at the wheel, they are rolling down the window to get rid of the proof on winding sections of road.

God help the person coming along the other way.

One is one too many people – wake up! Jill and Jeff Alexander

Renfrew

A sickening experimentCall to stand as a pro-privacy MPTo the editor:

In a response to Ms Gallantʼs misleading article on Bill C-30, I sent her an e-mail and I would hope that anyone else opposed to this very costly and intrusive bill will do the same.

Her comments that the information being obtained is nothing more than what is in a phone book is nothing more than Conservative spin.

To say to obtain the information authorities

would still have to get a warrant is an absolute falsehood.

I would suggest, as Mr. Toews, she hasnʼt read the bill which she is defending.

There is nothing wrong with the due process that is in place now. If authorities want evi-dence, get a warrant, anything else is unconsti-tutional.

If a canvasser for the Renfrew and Area Kidney Foundation hasn’t knocked on your door yet, they soon will. From left are canvassers Ron Sinclair, Jane Donnelly, Margaret Lewis, Renfrew and Area Kidney Foundation co-ordinator Shirley-Ann Holley, Hannah Holley, Laura Cooke and Rick Lewis. Diane Garskey is missing from the photo


Despite a late start, the Renfrew and Area March door-to-door campaign for the Kidney Foundation of Canada is well underway.

Expect a volunteer at your door collecting for the Kidney Foundation.

Shirley-Ann Holley is the Renfrew and Area Kidney Foundation co-ordinator, and there are 10 area captains and 63 canvassers, all volunteer positions.

Margaret Lewis has again taken on the task of collecting from local businesses.

If you would like to make a donation, and no one has been to your door, contact Shirley-Ann Holley at 613-432-4332.

Rick Lewis of Rickʼs Hobbies and Aquaria, who is representing Renfrew businesses, has received a kidney from a living donor.

Area captain Jane Donnelly has donated a kidney to her husband.

The Kidney Foundation of Canada offers a variety of educational materials and services in the community, including:

• patient education events;• public and prevention education pro-

grams;• information and referral service;• advocacy for the development of health

policy that meets the needs of a kidney pa-tient;

• funding and stimulating innovative re-search;

• short-term fi nancial assistance;• support for Camp Dorset (family summer

camp) and Ontario childrenʼs camp;• and brochures, newsletters and publica-

tions.


Daffodil Days, in support of the Canadian Cancer Society, run today through Saturday March 29, 30 and 31.

“Volunteers will be selling daffodil pins at various locations in Renfrew during the three days,” said Ray Beimers, president of the Renfrew Chapter of the Canadian Cancer Society.

“April is Daffodil Month,” Beimers added. “We will have canvassers going door-to-door. Coin boxes will also be set up at various loca-tions. We appreciate your support.”

Wearing the daffodil pin shows support and gives strength and courage to people liv-ing with cancer.

“Wearing it shows those affected by can-cer that there is hope and they are not alone,” the Canadian Cancer Society notes in a press release.

In 2011, an estimated 177,800 Canadians were diagnosed with cancer, including about 66,900 in Ontario alone.

For more on the campaign locally, or to volunteer for Daffodil Days or during Aprilʼs door-to-door canvassing, call Beimers at 613-432-0705.

Spring dance SundayRobyn AresenaultBonnechere Manor Foundation

After many years of fund-raising and creating awareness for the need of having an Audi-torium at Bonnechere Manor, enough funds were raised to commence construction of the building in the fall of 2010.

With construction of the beautiful addition completed in the spring of 2011, the grand opening and many festive cer-emonies took place into the summer.

Among the highlights was the naming of the auditorium to Renfrew Rotary Hall to honour the 20-year pledge of $100,000 by the Rotary Club of Renfrew to the project.

However, just like one mov-ing into a new home that is yet paid for in full, the foundation still has $122,000 to go until the building has been fully paid for.

The foundation is required to raise these funds by not lat-er than the end of 2015. This is in addition to the founda-tion seeking to raise additional funds to complete the interior of the building with an audio-visual system, curtains for the stage and blinds for the win-dows.

Any and all help and sup-port in helping the foundation complete this project is greatly appreciated.

There are many fundraisers planned this year, to help the foundation reach its goal in-cluding a spring dance in the Renfrew Armouries on Sun-day, April 1.

The Put Some Spring in Your Step and Celebrate with Us dance celebrates the new season with a great line-up of entertainers including, The Ryan Brothers, Douglas Con-nection, Donohue & Enright Children and Guy Jamieson & Friends.

Hosted by Art Jamieson and including light refresh-ments, live and silent auction, a 50/50, door prizes and more, one is “guaranteed a great af-ternoon of dancing and fun,” says chairperson Lee Sharpe.

The event will run from 1 to 6 p.m. this Sunday .

With tickets only $15 per person, it is sure to be a great show.

Tickets may be purchased at the door and at many great local establishments across the Valley including Aikenheadʼs Drug Store and the Bon-nechere Manor in Renfrew. All proceeds will be going to the auditorium campaign.

Please watch for more de-tails about the foundationʼs other events and fundraising efforts. For more information on how you can help, volun-teer at one of our events or become a donor with your name or the name of a loved one engraved upon the Tree of Life, please contact Robyn Arseneau at 613-432-4873, ext. 1253 or email [email protected]

12 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, March 29, 2012R0011328716-0329

Mercury photo by Lucy HassRailway activity on the discontinued Canadian Pacifi c Railway line in Renfrew. Salvage of the line’s equipment between Smiths Falls and Mattawa will continue into 2013.

They’ve been working on the railway: second of three phasesSteve [email protected]

The Canadian Pacifi c Rail-way has entered year two of a three-year plan to remove and recycle the material from its discontinued line that runs from Smiths Falls to Mattawa.

Employees working for the Manitoba company, Cando Ltd., worked well into last fall salvaging equipment from Ca-nadian Pacifi c Line. Much of the sorting of smaller equip-ment took place at a feverish place in downtown Renfrew.

A&K Railroad Materials, through its Canadian subsid-iary of Canadian Rail Track Material, won the salvage con-tract for the rail line that runs about 185 miles, or nearly 300 kilometres, between Smiths Falls and Mattawa. A&K, in turn, subcontracts out the dis-mantling and salvaging of the railway equipment.

According to Canadian Pa-cifi c spokesman Kevin Hrysak in Calgary, the focus this year is on removing railway equip-ment between Renfrew and Smiths Falls.

Phase three is scheduled to start in late 2012 and fi nish in 2013, with a focus on com-pleting salvage of the railway lines between Renfrew and Mattawa, said Hrysak.

“Weʼll continue until later this year,” said Hrysak. “Thatʼs the plan, subject to change, with plans to fi nish by the end of 2013.”

Itʼs defi nitely a large-scale

contract, said Hrysak. He said a lot of the salvaged ties, rails, spikes and tie plates will be recycled within Canadian Pa-cifi cʼs network, more likely on secondary branch lines.

The fi rst 40 kilometres (25 miles), between Renfrew and Cobden, was salvaged last fall.

Now the work continues north of Cobden, with some engines and crew remain-ing in downtown Renfrew to

transport equipment from the area.

According to details from Canadian Pacifi c last fall, some of that equipment will also be sold. Some of the youngest Renfrew County tracks were only laid in 2006, meaning they have a long shelf life remaining.

The salvage process in-volves three major types of equipment — for wedging and lifting of the actual rails;

for prying of the railway spikes; and for collection of the spikes, plates and anchors. The latter is commonly re-ferred to as OTM, or Other Track Material.

Canadian Pacifi cʼs notice of discontinuance of the rail-way between Smiths Falls and Mattawa was fi led May 30, 2011.

Just before 2 p.m. on Sept. 17, 2012, the last train crossed Renfrewʼs iron bridge on

the Bonnechere River. After the crossing, the tracks were pulled up and loaded onto cars pulled by the same en-gine, driven by retired railway engineer Bob Emond of Ren-frew.

After the CP bed is aban-doned, possibly in late 2013, the property will be trans-ferred to Canadian Pacifi cʼs real estate division. Buyers at that time, it is expected, will include the County of

Renfrew. Local snowmobile association members have al-ready told the County of Ren-frew the railway bed would be a windfall for snowmobile travel in the region.

Meanwhile, Hrysak says CP is in conversation “with one party” about the railway bedʼs future.

That group includes Ren-frew County Warden Bob Sweet, who provides county council with generalities

SJHS students travel overseasVictoria SlightJaguar Journal

This year I had the privilege of travelling with a group of students and staff from St. Jo-sephʼs Catholic High School for yet another Europe trip.

Each year, under the direc-tion of Mrs. Susan Whalen, a group of students, along with teacher chaperones, travel to places in Europe with Educa-tion First Tours (EF Tours).

In past years, we have trav-elled to such countries as Ger-many, France, Italy, Austria and Switzerland.

This yearʼs trip was along the Mediterranean Coast through Italy, France, Monaco and Spain.

This was a 10-day trip from March 11 until March 20 (dur-ing the March break).

The fi rst day was com-pletely travel – we fl ew out of Montreal, Que., fl ying over-night to Zurich, Switzerland, where we made a very quick transfer to Milan, Italy.

Even though we had a long journey, there was no time for rest – we jumped right into a walking tour of Milan, which included the Milan Cathedral. Following this tour, we trav-eled to our next destination – Cinque Terre.

Day three consisted of touring the Italian Riviera by train, stopping along the way in three of “The Five Lands” (villages) in Cinque Terre.

Here we were able to get an amazing sense of Italy. We were able to walk around the villages, and a group of us even had the courage to go swimming in the Mediterra-nean.

We had a quick visit to Monaco where we saw the Cathedral of Monaco, and the Princeʼs Palace of Monaco. Following this we went to Eze, France where we toured a medieval village, and a per-fume factory.

Nice, France was our next destination. In Nice, we had many different activities to choose from.

We were able to see the Matisse Museum, the Ro-man ruins, and we even had free time to shop or sightsee. Overall, France was a very “nice” place!

The sixth day was a break from all the walking, as we spent the whole day traveling from Nice, France, to Barce-lona, Spain.

At this point of the trip, we started to get confused as to what language to speak! Was it Bonjour, Hola, or Bonjour-no?!

After a day of restful travel, we were all energized for an-other day of walking.

In Barcelona, we visited the Parque Guell, la Sagrada Familia (church of the Holy Family) and Las Ramblas. Students were also able to vis-it the 1992 Barcelona Olym-pic Stadium.

The fi rst night in Barcelona we had the opportunity to see some fl amenco dancing.

The dancing was simply amazing with all of its fancy foot-work, rhythm and beauti-ful costumes.

This was defi nitely some-thing new for the majority of our group.

This trip was a very educa-tional experience, as we vis-ited a total of four countries, with three different languages. We experienced many new cultures, with different foods, languages and customs.

On behalf of the entire group, I would like take this opportunity to thank Mrs. Su-san Whalen, Mr. Bill Lunney, Mr. Stephen Lance and Mrs. Sandy Dusseault for being such wonderful chaperones and leaders.

This will defi nitely be a trip we will all remember.

Clockwise from bottom left are Josh Lamourie, Alanna Moss, Shannon Charbonneau, Dan Charbonneau in Cinque Terre; Victoria Slight, Jen Hall in Monaco; and the group just before they left.

Above: Riley Kluke, who played Her Monster in this production of Jealousy Jane, is piled on by fellow actors during this tableau photo for one of RCI’s two plays in the 2012 Sears Drama Festival. From left, in the foreground, are Johnny Le (as Bill Now-lan) and Bruce Cole (as Os-car Sasso); back row, Kauri Dahl (as Betina Cannon) and Hailie Harris. The latter played Jane Cannon, who is so jealous of everything and everyone that she is attached to a monster who follows her everywhere. Photo at right: Zack Bidgood, aka The Mes-senger, is the assertive one as Alex Spurrell (playing The Woman) and Anthony Burton (playing The Man), look on during this scene from The Worker. The play was named most outstand-ing production in Tuesday’s Sears festival, to advance to the regional fi nal.

RCI off to regional fi nalsSteve [email protected]

It was a heck of a Tuesday for Renfrew Collegiate Insti-tute at the Sears Drama Festi-val in Arnprior.

RCIʼs two plays each re-ceived honours, but the big-gest went to The Worker, which advances to Aprilʼs re-gional fi nals after being named the festivalʼs most outstanding production.

“This is the fi rst time RCI has proceeded to the regionals since 1999, so weʼre really ex-cited,” said RCI drama teacher Deborah Foohey.

The play also received

awards of merit for actress Alex Spurrell and director Charlie Bossy. An award of excellence also went to An-thony Burton who played the man who faces the struggle of balancing work with a men-tally-ailing wife and his new family.

RCIʼs other play, Jealou-sy Jane, also picked up two awards of merit. They went to actors Riley Kluke and Hailie Harris.

Kluke played the monster who ends up following Jane Cannon everywhere, after jealous Jane ends up rejecting everything and everyone.

New chef at Best Western Renfrew Four Continents Restaurant and BarThereʼs a new chef at the Best Western in

Renfrew, committed to bringing international cuisine to the Ottawa Valley.

Beginning March 30, Red Seal-certifi ed ex-ecutive chef Roopesh Kakkat and Best Western Renfrew manager Nishan Di Silva invite the public to experience fresh ingredients, spices, and food with everything made from scratch.

“There is no need to leave the country to try the most mouthwatering fl avors of interna-tional cuisine,” De Silva says in a news release from the local hotel.

Kakkat completed the culinary arts manage-ment program at ITC Welcomgroup, Manipal,

the best college in India, and completed his placement at one of the fastest growing Inter-national Hotel Chains in the world, Shangri-la

Roopesh was later employed by Ocean Vil-lage, owned by Carnival Line for Cruise Ships where he worked with British celebrity televi-sion chef James Martin at The Bistro.

After migrating to Canada, Kakkat became a chef at the Best Western in Gananoque before settling now in Renfrew.

Roopesh will be joined by sous-chefs John Hogue and Chris Graham.

The menu at the Four Continents Restau-rant & Bar at the Best Western, Renfrew will

feature cuisine from India, North America, Eu-rope, Mexico, Indonesia and beyond.

There are plans for live entertainment most weekends and the restaurant will be open until 11 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Sundays will feature an all-you-can-eat buffet brunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., with special brunches Easter Sunday, Motherʼs Day and Fatherʼs Day.

“The Four Continents features a stunning fi ne dining setting; a casual child friendly fam-ily dining setting; as well as the pub setting where you can watch the game while shooting a game of pool or playing darts after work,” says the Best Western release.

Plans are also in the works for theme night with staff dress and food representing various cultures.

“The Best Western Hotel and Conference Centre is host to over 13,500 guests each year with over 6,000 of them being multicultural,” says manager DiSilva.

The past year has seen $350,000 in renova-tions to both the hotel and restaurant.

As of April 1, the Renfrew Best Western will introduce fully-licensed catering service for up to 300 guests for house warming parties, reunions, birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and more.

Royalty was in the in the house during the myFM Cham-ber of Commerce Home Show at the Renfrew Armouries over the weekend. 2011 Miss Teen Ontario East Hillary MacMillan (right) is joined by Breigh Whalen (middle) and Hilary Staff ord, two of the delegates hoping to win her crown at the 2012 competition. The 2012 Miss Teen Ontario East competition takes place in Renfrew April 15. Like the current titleholder, Whalen and Staff ord also hail from Renfrew. The 22 young women who will be compet-ing to be Miss Teen Ontario East comes from all over East-ern Ontario. Below, Daniel Dupuis (left) and Andrew St. Michael show off their balloon creations Saturday at the myFM Renfrew Chamber of Commerce Home Show at the Renfrew Armories.

News of Spring arrives – Mother was now freeMary CookMemories

Mother looked for Spring like a young sheep looks for a hole in a fence to escape through. She found the winters long and she wasnʼt able to run into Renfrew at the drop of a hat whenever she wanted to. And so she was confi ned to the walls of the old log house day after day.

Sundays at church, and the Sat-urday night house parties, the odd quilting bee, and an occasional trip to Briscoeʼs General Store was just about as far as Mother went during the long winter months.

My older and much wiser sister Audrey said Mother felt trapped in the old log house with no escape when the snow was piled high around her.

But now the snow banks, once sky

high along the Northcote Side Road had melted down and once again we could see the fi elds. It would still be weeks before the Fall plantings would show through, but it was all a good sign as far as Mother was con-cerned.

And it was enough to spur her on to getting ready for the warmer days ahead.

The Steele-Briggs seed catalogue was dog-eared from constant nightly use at the pine table, an order had been placed, and it had already come in C.O.D.

The mailman handled all the fi -nances for anything that was ordered through a catalogue, which was a good thing, because Father didnʼt believe in banks, and so no cheques were written in our house!

Not that there would be much

spare cash to deposit anyway. The blue sugar bowl in the back-to-the-wall cupboard took care of that is-sue!

Every night Mother would take down the little box fi lled with coloured packets of seeds, and lay them out on the table. She would de-cide which ones could be planted in boxes early, and which ones would have to wait for the garden.

The seed packets seemed to lift her spirits and she would say to no one in particular, “Wonʼt be long now.”

And then she would turn to Father sitting in his rocking chair with his feet on the oven door and say, “Al-bert, you could get those fl at boxes ready any time you found a spare minute. I want to be ready to plant as soon as the garden has dried up.”

And day by day, the winter would

fade, and you could see the relief on Motherʼs face. The old Model T was still up on blocks in the drive shed. And she reminded Father that it was time to think about starting it up just to be sure it had weathered the past months. and I knew she could hardly wait for the lane to be rid of its winter ruts so she could head out for Ren-frew.

Father, who didnʼt share Motherʼs optimism that winter was just about over, told of the many years he saw snowdrifts 10 feet high in March.

“Well, it isnʼt going to happen this year,” Mother would say. “I just know weʼve seen the last of this con-founded winter.”

And every day I could see her mood lighten. She talked about wash-ing up the mitts and scarves and add-ing moth balls to her list of supplies

needed in Renfrew.“And it will soon be time to roll up

the braided rugs and tuck them under the beds. Donʼt need those when the fl oors are warmer,” sheʼd say.

One day when we got home from the Northcote School, Mother was waiting at the door as usual. But that day she was fair jumping.

“Guess what I saw today... a rob-in. It landed right there on that little patch of bare ground near the pump platform. A robin! Can you imagine? Now if that isnʼt a sign of Spring, I donʼt know what is,” she said.

Mother whistled all the time she was getting supper ready. Her win-ter mood had passed. And it didnʼt matter what Father said about late snowstorms ... the back of winter was broken. Hadnʼt a little robin come to bring the news?

Asparagus and shrimp a colourful combo in a springtime quichePat TrewFood ‘n Stuff

As Iʼm writing this column, itʼs offi cially the First Day of Spring, the outside temperature is 26 degrees Celsius, and it feels more like July.

Whatever the temperature, this asparagus and shrimp quiche is a delicious springtime dish. Serve with French bread and a salad, and you have a fi lling meal.

Once I tried a new quiche recipe when we were having company for supper. After an hour and a half in the oven, the quiche still wasnʼt set, and the fi lling didnʼt look as if it was going to be set for at least another half hour.

Our company was family visiting from Bar-rie, and they were very understanding, but we were all getting hungry.

Finally, I scraped the barely cooked quiche into a frying pan, stirred it over medium heat, and served it as scrambled eggs. We had a good laugh, and everyone agreed that the “scram-bled” quiche tasted pretty good.

This quiche recipe is a totally different one but, if you fi nd that itʼs taking awhile to set, consider the scrambled egg version as a fall back.

SPRINGTIME QUICHE

9” frozen pie shell, baked according to pack-age directions and cooled

1/2 cup medium frozen, cooked shrimp3-4 spears of fresh asparagus3 slices onion, diced

1 tbsp. sweet red bell pepper, diced1 cup grated Cheddar cheese2 eggs1 cup half and half cream1/2 tsp. chopped parsley1/4 tsp. saltpepper to tastePreheat the oven to 350F.Thaw the shrimp in a bowl of cold water,

and drain. Cut each one in half, and arrange them in the pie shell.

Steam the asparagus spears until they are crisp-tender. Cut in 1” pieces. Spread this in the pie shell with the shrimp.

Scatter the diced onion and red pepper over everything, and top with the grated cheese.

In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, cream,

parsley, salt and pepper, mixing well.Hereʼs a tip for putting the quiche in the

oven without having the fi lling tip out or spill.After youʼve arranged the shrimp, veg-

etables and cheese in the pie shell, and before adding the egg mixture, pull your oven rack part way out.

Set the pie shell on the oven rack, then pour the egg mixture over the shrimp and cheese. Carefully slide the rack back into the oven. Bake at 350F for 40 to 50 minutes.

To test for doneness, insert a knife into the center of the quiche. If the knife comes out clean, the quiche is done. If the knife comes out looking wet and milky, continue baking for another 5-10 minutes, then check it again.

Some history behind Winds of HeavenDiana WakelyRenfrew Art Guild

Twenty-two years ago at the Concordia University Fine Arts Convocation, the speaker to the graduates was Antonine Maillet, a well-recognized Acadian.

She spoke about how in the past that artists and poets were the leaders in social expression. They depicted the sign of the times with their art. The artist was the thermometer, the visual reporter of social unrest, war, disease or any event happening. She said that artist must remember their duty to portray the day and the strength of their work. They must stand up for their beliefs.

Her words would have rung hollow except what happened that summer of 1990. There was a lot of unrest on the south shore of Montreal. At the First Nation reserve there was a standoff that brought a lot of issues to light. The connection? Well, one of the graduating students of that class was the lead spokesperson on the front line and in the media spotlight.

Another artist who stepped out of her role as a dutiful daughter and dared to express herself was Emily Carr.

Born in 1871 as the youngest of fi ve girls, her role traditionally would be to conform to the duties of women of the day. Her close connection to her father, I think, gave her the

courage to do otherwise.She literally rocked the boat and did her

thing. She was a woman born 50 years before her time. She found a connection with the aboriginal peoples of the west coast and through them a love of nature. Her work depicted the west coast similar to what the Group of Seven did of the eastern forests.

Michael Ostroff produced a wonderful fi lm, Winds of Heaven, about Emily Carr. With wonderful west coast scenes and excellent footage of the turn of the century, he had done a great job of bringing her life to us.

On May 15, RAG and the Right Relationships with Aboriginal People Study Group are bringing the fi lm to Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church, 291 Plaunt St. in Renfrew at 7 p.m. Freewill offering. Come and join us.

OTHER EVENTSApril 3: RAG is meeting at Trinity-St.

Valley food co-op meeting April 11The Ottawa Valley Food Co-

operative (OVFC) fi ftth annual general meeting will be held Wednesday, April 11 at 7 p.m. at Wesley United Church, 275 Pem-broke St. E., Pembroke. Please use the side entrance. A social with refreshments starts at 6:30 p.m. The Ottawa Valley Food Co-operative is an internet-based marketing network that makes it easy for local producers and consumers to connect, and to buy and sell local foods and related products. It is an award-winning co-op for its innovative approach and has had four successful years of operation.

Continued success greatly de-pends on the involvement of a broad base of its members. 2012

is the International Year of Coop-eratives, and the OVFC is a won-derful example of what people can do when they get together to cooperate.

A number of the Ottawa Val-ley Food Co-operativeʼs board members will be stepping down, and spaces are available for more local food enthusiasts to join the board of directors at the AGM.

The new board will need to recruit more volunteers and paid part-time positions in the near future, and will be infl uenced by the open discussion at the meet-ing about plans for the co-op. You donʼt have to be a member of the co-op to attend.

You can have your nightin Cinderella’s shoes, tooSteve [email protected]

“Itʼs nice to see somebody else feel good and feel special on their special day.”

The words come from Renfrew resident Marissa Broome, who has helped to spearhead the creation of the new not-for-profi t business, Valley Cinderella Project.

Because Broome, 27, receives government disability payments, the business canʼt accept monetary donations for the Valley Cinderella Projectʼs services.

But thatʼs OK, she says, convinced the big payment is the satisfaction on the faces of girls who fi nd an appropriate dress for their prom, graduation or other special event.

Thatʼs what Valley Cinderella Project is all about — providing dresses to those girls who otherwise wouldnʼt have one.

Several girls recently received their dresses, which are loaned to the girls and returned after they are worn for their special event. There is no charge for the service.

With help from the Kinette Club, Mid-Town Cleaners and The Grind in Pembroke as well as media outlets, Valley Cinderella Project vol-unteers have collected 300 special-occasion dresses since the company was founded last December.

MOTIVATION TO START

One motivation to start the business was Broomeʼs experience with her own wedding dress. She had one, but never got to wear it. After the dress sat in a closet for seven years, she offered it to a Renfrew friend who was get-ting married.

The dress fi t perfectly, causing Broome to think, “Maybe others have dresses in their closets that could be used for weddings, proms or graduations.”

Some donated dresses havenʼt met a desired standard for formal occasions, but several of those have still found homes, with schools and drama groups (for dramatic productions) or at thrift stores.

Examples of the quality of the dresses can be seen by checking out Broomeʼs facebook group and page addresses at the Valley Cinder-

ella Project. Drop-off points for donated dresses are

Arnpriorʼs Klics Ice Cream Parlour and In-ternet Cafe at 128 John Street, the Renfrew Recreation Centre, and R&R Fun Travel in Pembroke. There are also drop-off points in Petawawa and Deep River.

VOLUNTEER HELP

Broome says sheʼs running the company with the help of about 15 key volunteers.

One big supporter of the Valley Cinderella Project has been Our Lady of Fatima Catho-lic Church. After Broome made a presentation, the Renfrew parish provided her with about 50 dresses.

A recent successful event for the business was the March 20 Dress Day at The Grind in Pembroke. That day most of the attending 20 girls were matched with a dress for a gradua-tion or prom.

For more details about Valley Cinderella Project, call Broome at 613-281-0214.

The business logo reminds young ladies that they can all be Cinderellas.

Thanks to Valley Cinderella Project, these young ladies have special-occasion dresses.

Drop-off points for donated dresses include Arnprior’s Klics Ice Cream Parlour, the Renfrew Recreation Centre and R&R Fun Travel in Pembroke.

Scott Woods will be no stranger to Renfrew County when he returns next month for the Scott Woods Band performance at the Horton Community Centre.

The 41-year-old fi ddler remembers several visits to the coun-ty, including one to Renfrew as a teenager to compete in a fi d-dling contest.

More seasoned than ever, the Fergus, Ont., fi ddler is coming through the area as part of the bandʼs busy touring schedule.

The fi ve-member band will be joined for the 2 p.m. show by good friend and Renfrew fi ddler Terri-Lynn Mahusky, who will play a few tunes.

Music runs deep in the Woods family, as Scott now directs the band that has carried various names over the years, follow-ing its 1944 founding by Scottʼs dad, Merv. They often called themselves The Woods Family, but because they played a lot of big-band music back then, with a lot of saxophone and trom-bone, they were often referred to as Merv Woods and His Or-chestra.

Merv is no longer on the music scene. He died in 2003, but Scottʼs mother, Carolyn, who joined the band in 1956, will be among fi ve musicians who perform in Horton next month. She also toured for eight years, as pianist with Memories of Don Messerʼs Jubilee. Scott was also on that scene, as Messerʼs mu-sical director for seven years, until 2006.

Scott succeeded Graham Townsend, whoʼll be among the phenomenal fi ddlers the Scott Woods Band pays tribute to, both in Horton Township and throughout this year.

“Every yearʼs a new theme, a new concept,” said Scott. This yearʼs theme is Fiddle Legends, as a tip of the musical

hat in their two-hour variety show to such icons as Don Messer, Al Cherny, King Ganam, Johnny Mooring, Ward Allen, Chubby Wise and Reg Hill.

Hill was a fi ddler with Mac Beattie and The Melodiers that grew up in Renfrew County.

Wise was an American bluegrass fi ddler whom Scott had the privilege to work with in New York in the 1990s, before his death in 1996.

These days, the Scott Woods Bandʼs focus is on a lot of old-time fi ddle, country and gospel music, but there will be a little gymnastics, too. As he does at several shows, during one song Scott will literally fl ip across the stage while holding his fi ddle.

Scott, who began studying classical violin at age four, plays several instruments. But his forte is fi ddle, with the love of fi d-dling passed down through six generations of his family.

A two-time winner of the Canadian open fi ddle contest and two-time Canadian grand masters fi ddling champion, Scott and the bandʼs other members (who come from a pool of more than 15 musicians) says his sister, Kendra Norris, is an important part of the show.

“Sheʼs the card. If I tell a joke, sheʼs the one who makes it funny,” said Scott of his sister, who has also won several Cana-dian open fi ddle class titles.

“We have lots of fun. We do some silly things as well.”The band is also true to its roots, stresses Scott, noting music

will be played as it was in the day of a particular musicianʼs

piece.“Weʼre playing music authentic to the period in which it was popular,” said Scott.

The bandʼs other members in Horton will be Scottʼs nephew, Ben Norris, and Kyle Waymouth.

Now in his early 20s, Ben was fi ve years old when he was named most entertaining fi ddler at the 1993 Canadian open fi ddle contest in Shelburne, Ont. He plays drums, fi ddle, guitar, bass and mandolin.

Kyle stepdances in addition to playing drums, fi ddle, bass and mandolin. Heʼs also a member of Powerhouse, a four-time winner of the Canadian open step dancing title, and part of the famous Judyʼs School of Dance in Stratford.

On the road, Scott Woods Band travels in its home away from home, the silver bus bought six years ago in Nashville.

Scottʼs also pleased to come back to the Ottawa Valley, which he calls one of the real heartlands of Canadian fi ddle music. The high quality and quantity of fi ddle players in the Valley is one sign that its musical heritage lives on, he says.

During the show, the audience will be treated to a wide va-riety of songs, including Westphalia Waltz, with a three-part fi ddle harmony, as well as Maple Sugar and Orange Blossom Special.

The $20 tickets for the afternoon show are available from the Renfrew and Area Chamber of Commerce, at 161 Raglan Street South, or at the door April 22.

The bandʼs show dates include April 20 in Brockville, April 21 in Carleton Place and April 27 in Hamilton.

1937: Thomas Murray to enlarge jewelery businessMARCH 29, 1912

SHOP IMPROVEMENTS: Mr J.W. May-hew has this week been making some improve-ments to the interior of his business premises (formerly Mrs. Teriahs) looking to greater space for customers and better display of the attractive lines he stocks. Another fi ne large “silent salesman” has been installed, and the soda fountain has been removed to a more commodious position. These are signs pointing to the conclusion that the long-time popularity of the establishment is being maintained.

AT THE POWER DEVELOPMENT: The concrete construction at the power develop-ment is now again under steady progress. The tail-race wall is completed and the cut-off wall up into the hill embankment is now underway. By Thursday night engineer Stewart expected to have suffi cient concrete in place there that no delay will be encountered from the spring fl ood. The walls had been so far advanced some weeks ago that there was no danger to the construction, but a little remained to be done to prevent delay. That little has now been completed.

APRIL 1, 1937

MR M.T. DUGGAN HEADS LIBRARY BOARD: Mr. M.T. Duggan was elected to the chairmanship at the annual meeting of Ren-frew Public Library Board on Thursday eve-ning last, succeeding Mr. A.W. Baird who had held the offi ce for two years. Mr. A.J. Devine was re-elected as secretary-treasurer. The prop-erty committee is comprised of Messrs. A.B.C. Throop, J.T. Anderson and J.W. Barber; book committee, Messrs. A.W. Baird, E.J. Stewart and M.T. Duggan. The report of the auditors, an Ottawa fi rm, was read and adopted, and accounts were passed for payment. It was re-solved to order for the library a copy of the coronation number of The London Illustrated News.

THOMAS M. MURRAY TO ENLARGE

JEWELLERY BUSINESS: Mr. Thomas M. Murray has bought the Kearney building on the northeast side of Raglan Street and has com-missioned contractor Sulpher to make struc-tural changes as will enable him to carry on business there. Included in the purchase of the stand in which the late W.H. Kearney played so long in the role of jeweler, is a house, but Mr. Murray will not occupy it, preferring quarters especially prepared for him. The building is one of Renfrewʼs landmarks and is, according to Mr. Sulpher, in good condition.

LIONS HEAD INTO NEW SERIES: The Lions are number one in the book of fans in Renfrew, after winning their North West divi-sion championship series. In the fourth game of the series played last Friday night the Lions defeated the Parkway Canadians from South Ottawa by a score of 8-2. The Lions will now continue on to play the North East division champs, the St. Isadore Eagles, in the best-of-seven series, Friday in St. Isadore at 8 p.m., in the fi rst game of this series. The fi rst Renfrew

home game is to be played on Sunday, also at 8 p.m.

ARDA ASKED TO BUY K&P TRACK: Renfrew County is asking the federal govern-ment to take over the 12 miles of abandoned K&P Railway track between Calabogie and Renfrew, the county administrator said re-cently. Mac Fraser, in addressing the big Peace County Association at their annual meeting, said then ARDA (Agriculture Rural Develop-ment Agreement) division has been asked to purchase the line on behalf of the county for use in recreation. The old K&P, abandoned in stages over the past several years, is owned by the Canadian Pacifi c Railway Ltd. Another section of the railway, running from Calabogie southwards, is owned by ARDA and leased to the Mississippi Valley Conservation Author-ity for use as a trail. Both the town and county are asking for preservation of the lines ̓ right of way from Calabogie north to Renfrew for recreational purposes.

Boston 4 Bust will benefi t RVH programRenfrew Victoria Hospital

Colleen Berry has heard RVHʼs call to ac-tion, to Learn - Know – Act. She has learned about digital mammography and its benefi ts, wants to contribute to this important project and has decided to act in her capacity as an elite marathon runner.

On April 16, Berry will run in her fourth con-secutive Boston Marathon. She qualifi ed as an offi cial participant by meeting the marathonʼs designated time standard for females age 45 to 49 at the 2010 Niagara Falls race where she placed fourth over all female runners. The of-fi cial marathon distance is 42.2 km (26 miles).

Berry, who began running marathons in 2006 and has completed a total of 13 races to date, says she is inspired by Terry Fox and Norwegian marathon legend Grete Waitz who passed away in 2011 from cancer.

She also pays tribute to a few local heroes who have battled cancer.

“I would like to dedicate this campaign to Marlene Kauffeldt on behalf of those who have lost their lives to breast cancer and to Sandra Beimers who represents those who are surviv-ing or still ̒ fi ghting the fi ght, as well as to Janet Robertson, a breast cancer survivor who has contributed so much to RVH.”

Berry has had two sponsors, Niagara Falls Marathon and Berrylane Trailers, to help cover her race expenses, along with any prize mon-ey earned. In the past, any funds she received from private donations were “passed forward” to the Terry Fox Run.

This year those funds will be invested in improving local health care services, going to-wards RVHʼs digital mammography project.

“I know that, as in the past, I will rely on the digital mammography unit in the future. Fortunately, my diagnosis was good. So, this is my way of contributing to its existence and service.

“This technology is not only important to women, but also a percentage of men. Cancer affects not only the individual, but also spous-es, children and extended family and friends. It touches everyone,” says Berry.

Berry will be one of about 25,000 partici-pants in this yearʼs Boston Marathon. She will be wearing bib number 4577 and you can track her progress along the course online at www.baa.org on April 16.

Her fundraising goal for the race is $100 for each kilometre she runs along the challenging and historic course, a total of $4,220 towards the digital mammography fund.

“Colleenʼs commitment to her sport and level of success are inspiring, and we are hon-oured that she has answered the call to action to support the digital mammography project,” comments RVH Foundation director of devel-opment Barb Desilets.

Berry and husband Keith are co-owners of Berrylane Trailers, and she works in sales and for a running clinic at Valley Source for Sports, Renfrew.

If you would like to support Berry at the marathon, please contact her at 613-432-2841.

Anthem performance worthy of a Super Bowl half time showPeter ClarkPeter’s Putterings

I donʼt even know who she was, other than she had a long last name.

But the opera singer who performed the national anthems at last Saturdayʼs Senators-Pittsburgh Penguins game sure could belt it out.

It also seemed like she intended to use up her 15 minutes (of fame), literally.

I heard later that it took just a bit over four minutes to sing the anthems. With a stage, a few fi reworks and what not, sheʼd make a great Super Bowl halftime show.

I got a double performance.My brother and I were at the game, and the

young lass sitting next to me was obviously the mother of a young child. As the game

began, she was signing her kid to sleep over her cellphone.

Meanwhile, the young lad sitting on the other side of Doug enjoyed the hockey game – in his dreams.

I put him somewhere between 15 and 20 years old. With a baby face, it was hard to tell. But he slept through the entire fi rst period, and slipped in and out of a coma – mostly in – the rest of the way.

With the VIA Rail horn going off for eight Ottawa goals, and all the other noise going on around him on a festive night for the home team, I donʼt know how anyone could sleep soundly and still be considered alive.

The older gentleman with him, – I presume his father – probably thought there must be

a better way to spend $190, the cost of his ticket.

He should have thrown in another 10 bucks. The $200 tickets come with a cot.

A loss for local sports: The Renfrew sports community lost a good guy in the pass-ing of Perley Black last week.

Perley was a trainer with numerous Renfrew minor hockey teams over the years, including the Major Midget Wolves team that won the Regional Silver Stick championship in 2009.

He was also a trainer with RCI Raider sports teams, among them the 2008 Lanark-Renfrew senior football champions.

A tribute hockey game in Perleyʼs honour

is set for 3 p.m. Sunday at the MAC.Playoffs a couple of weeks away: Itʼs

time for another Rayʼs Flowers Stanley Cup playoff draft. Pick up your draft sheets. The cost per sheet is $10.

* * * The Boston Bruins hold the longest streak

of missing the playoffs among Original Six National Hockey League teams.

Boston viewed the playoffs from afar from the 1959-60 season up to and including 1966-67.

Then some guy named Bobby Orr came along.

And for this week: How many Stanley Cups have Original Six teams won since expansion?

When is the last time your were out golfi ng in near 30 degree Cel-sius weather on March 22? And we don’t mean at Myrtle Beach. Channa McEachen had her putter out at the Dragonfl y Golf Links. Other than the snowbank in the back-ground, there was no evidence of winter on the golf course. “It’s been crazy,” McEachen said of the turnout of people looking to get into the March golfi ng groove. “Everything’s been good.” McEachen noted that the student help doesn’t even come in until the end of April. The Renfrew Golf Club has also opened for business, as has pretty well every other course throughout the Ot-tawa Valley. Perhaps someone will come up with the earliest hole-in-one ever recorded on an Ottawa Valley golf course.

Golfers get early jump on season

Five for Finnigan’sPeter [email protected]

It can be offi cially declared a dynasty.Finniganʼs Roadhouse captured a fi fth consecutive Eganville

Hockey League championship Sunday night.In what turned out to be a great fi nal, the Renfrew squad

pulled out another overtime victory to win the best-of-fi ve match-up three games to one over the Golden Lake Thunder-birds Sunday evening.

Ryan McIntyre ended it quickly, as he snapped home an un-assisted series winner 1:50 into overtime to give Finniganʼs a tense 2-1 victory.

It was the fi rst goal since the teams traded opening-period markers just 25 seconds apart.

Skyler Mullen shot Finniganʼs into a 1-0 lead with 6:53 left in the period, but Cheyenne Two-Axe Kohoko answered right away to deadlock the game 1-1.

Goaltender Steve Bowes and Golden Lake counterpart Benji Zomers again stole the show after that, as they have done nu-merous times in the series.

Finally, McIntyre made the breakthrough, joining teammates Andrew McKay and Tim OʼConnor as authors of Finnganʼs Roadhouse overtime game-winning goals in this series.

CELEBRATION ON HOLD

Finniganʼs was one period away from capturing champion-ship hardware Friday night, but a determined Golden Lake team forced them to refrigerate the bubbly a bit longer.

Trailing 3-2 entering the third period, the Thunderbirds ral-lied for three goals to claim game 3 by a 5-3 margin.

Jason Bailey tied the game 45 seconds into the third period, and Kohoko answered the bell with two goals in the fi nal 80 seconds to win it for Golden Lake.

Kohoko put the Thunderbirds in front with 1:20 remaining, and then added an open net tally with 30 seconds left.

Adam Bernard had two goals in the middle stanza for Golden Lake.

Matt Box had a big night for Finniganʼs, scoring all three goals for the Renfrew team.

Backed by a staunch defensive effort and a pair of shutouts from goaltender Cameron Iob, the Renfrew Peewee Tim-berwolves came fl ying out of the March Break with 2-0 and 5-0 wins over the regular-season champion Petawawa Pa-triots.

That allowed the Wolves to claim the 2011-12 Upper Ottawa Valley Peewee

Ryan Boudreau and Paquette scored

Renfrew goals in the game one 2-0 win last Thursday night in Petawawa.

The two shutouts in the fi nal allowed Iob to fi nish the year with 10.

The Peewee Wolves posted an overall record of 38-16-and-4.

That win total included the game 3 fi ve-period 2-1 thriller over the Pem-broke Kings in the semifi nal. After get-ting through that series, there was no stoppage the Peewee Wolves in the fi nal.

Hillary MacMillan of the Renfrew Collegiate Raiders is the 2012 winner of the Julia Walker Award in just the hon-our s̓ second year of existence.

The winner is named each year at the annual girls hockey tournament hosted by the Fel-lowes (High School) Falcons.

Ten teams played in the tournament in February.

The recipient is selected on the basis of academics, athlet-ics and personal contributions to community. Coaches sub-mit nominees and a fi nal se-lection is made. The fi rst win-ner last year was Kaylie Welk of Madawaska Valley District High School.

“Hillary is a true leader, a passionate athlete and an un-selfi sh human being who will-ingly gives of herself to help others,” Raiders girls hockey coach Kim Oattes said in her nomination of MacMillan.

“Hillary is a character stu-dent who is enthusiastic, and motivated to excel in what-ever she does.”

Hillary displays leadership ability through the various athletic groups for which she is involved. She is a player on many athletic teams, a band member, Interact member and student council member.

“Hillaryʼs executive in-volvement with RCIʼs student council keeps her busy orga-nizing dances, spirit weeks, and fundraising. One of Hil-laryʼs largest commitments is her involvement with RCIʼs Relay for Life. As an execu-tive member, Hillary com-mits to at least fi ve months of meetings, organizing and planning,” Oattes added.

MacMillanʼs interest in sports spans from hockey, to highland dancing, to basket-ball, to cross country running and the list goes on. Her early interest in hockey led her to the Madawaska Girls Hockey Association where she played until she was 18 years old. As a high school student, Mac-Millan played for the RCI Raiders,

She most recently joined the Valley Womenʼs Hockey League since she is too old to play in the Madawaska Girls Hockey Association. This spring, Hillary ventured down to Kingston to observe a hock-ey game of the Queenʼs Wom-enʼs hockey team in hopes of possibly playing for them while she attends Queenʼs University in the fall.

“Hillary shows a genu-ine interest in her family, her classmates, her teachers and her community,” Oattes said.

“Hillary is involved with the Social Interaction Pro-gram (SIP) at RCI. This is a program whereby students buddy up with students with special needs from the voca-tional program. SIP buddies generally meet once a week to have lunch and socialize.

“Hillary unselfi shly volun-teers her time to help others who are less fortunate,” coach Oattes said.

“She extends her interest in this area by offering parental relief three times a week to a family with an autistic child. Although Hillary is fi nan-cially compensated for her time, she treats her charge the same as she would one of her friends.”

In April 2011, MacMillan was crowned Miss Teen On-tario East, Oattes noted.

“For the past year, Hillary has volunteered at various or-ganizations and has used her title to promote Candlelighters and Childhood Cancer Aware-ness. Hillary has also used her year as Miss Teen Ontario East to raise funds for the Free the Children Organization.

“I have highlighted a mere snapshot of the character, compassion and beauty of Hillary,” coach Oattes con-cluded.

“Hillary MacMillan is an outstanding candidate for the Dr. Julia Walker Award. She is a rare gem and one which we will not likely see again for a long time.”

DR. JULIA WALKER

The Dr. Julia Walker Award was initiated last year to rec-ognize Dr. Walkerʼs contri-bution to girls high school hockey.

Back in 1988, the then Ms.

Walker taught at a local high school. Realizing there was no girls hockey programs she initiated this girls tournament.

“In her way Dr. Walker was not only a player but a pioneer for womenʼs hockey,” said Bert Cain of the award com-mittee.

For Walker, it was the love of the game, the typical Cana-dian hockey story but with a difference.

“She, in a real sense, was a pioneer for girls hockey,” Cain said. “Prior to league play, it was outdoor rinks. In 1974 her father Paul was in-strumental in starting a girls league in Ottawa and was her coach for the next eight years.

“As a youngster although she was selected to a number of regional all-star teams, it was not until Julia left Pem-broke and enrolled in post graduate studies at Queenʼs University that her hockey career reached its pinnacle. On the Queenʼs womenʼs team she was a player, a team captain and a scoring leader,” Cain added.

In 1994-95, Walker was selected as second team all-star defence by the Ontario Womenʼs Interuniversity Ath-letic Association (OWIAA). The next year Walker was fi rst team all-star defence.

The other fi rst team defend-er was Cassie Campbell, Team Canada captain and Olympic gold medallist.

Hillary MacMillan of Renfrew Collegiate is just the second recipient of the Dr. Julia Walker Award. Photo submitted

second goal before the period ended.Denver Mullen added insurance in the

fi nal session.Defenceman Kip Mulvihill collected

two assists for Kelly Homes.Iob had 12 goals during the playoffs.

The Lanark-Carleton Minor Hockey League juvenile fi nal between Osgoode-Rideau and the Renfrew Juvenile Tim-berwolves will come down to a one-game showdown, thanks to a wild 7-7 deadlock at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre Friday night.

The Wolves trailed 6-1 with 4:18 left in the second period when Joel Blemkie scored his fi rst of three goals in a 2:42 span to cut the defi cit to 6-4.

Renfrew then scored three more goals to take a 7-6 lead before the visitors struck with 1:06 remaining to forge the draw.

Mitchell Jamieson and Stephen Cuthill had two goals for the Wolves. Ryan Cuthill added four assists and Blemkie two.

Simon Shaw started between the pipes for Renfrew. Blake Schwartz took over after the fourth Osgoode-Rideau marker.

Jamieson converted a Ryan Lennie setup with 3:58 left in the third period to lift the Juvenile Wolves into a 2-2 tie in

game one of the series last Wednesday night in Osgoode.

Defenceman Adam Scott notched an unassisted fi rst-period goal for Renfrew.

Osgoode-Rideau took a 2-1 lead with goals less than three minutes apart mid-way through the second period.

Schwartz made 27 saves in the Ren-frew goalcrease.

The championship game is set for Sat-urday at noon on MAC ice. The Juvenile Wolves also host the Eastern Ontario Tournament Champions on Good Friday and Saturday of Easter weekend.

The Renfrew Minor Midget Timber-wolves dropped the opening game of their four-point Upper Ottawa Valley Hockey League fi nal 5-0 to the Pembroke Kings in Pembroke Thursday. The Wolves were unable to rustle up any offence in support of goaltender Chloe Eady.

PEEWEE HOUSE FINAL

The two Renfrew teams will need a third game to decide an Upper Ottawa

Valley Peewee House Hockey League champion.

NAPA Auto Parts won the four-point fi nal series opener 2-0 over B.R. Fulton Construction behind Bryce Schaapʼs 16-save performance March 21.

Garett McDonald just 1:38 into the contest, and Brandon Fortin in the third period, scored for NAPA. Carter Atkins was solid in the Fultonʼs goalcrease also. He kept his team in it with 16 saves.

Fultonʼs overcame an early 1-0 defi cit to win Sundayʼs second game 2-1.

Dawson Brown shorthanded, and Nicholas Wright with the winner late in the third period, clicked for Fultonʼs.

Braedon Reinert scored for NAPA.Connery Campbell earned the goal-

keeping win. McKale Van Genderen took the tough loss. The deciding game was played Tuesday night.

Pembroke topped Fraserʼs Clothes Shop 5-2 in game one of their bantam house B fi nal series. Justin Pearse and Ben Lefebvre were Fraserʼs goalgetters. Jordan Vandersleen tended goal.

The Arnprior Packers entered Wednesday nightʼs action battling for their playoff lives in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey Leagueʼs Metro-Valley championships series.

After winning the opening game of the best-of-seven series 6-3 over the Gatineau Mustangs March 20, the Packers have suffered 5-4, 5-1 and 6-2 setbacks to the Buckingham-based team to fall behind three games to one.

Arnprior led both games in Gatineau by two goals, but couldnʼt hold the lead.

Gatineau overcame a 3-1 defi cit to win game two at home March 21 on a powerplay goal 27 seconds into overtime. The Mustangs also erased a 2-0 defi cit before erupting for four third-period markers last Saturday.

Gatineau needed no such comeback in Fridayʼs second game at the Nick Smith Centre.

The Mustangs built up a 3-0 lead in a wild fi rst period that produced more than 200 minutes in penalties and took over an hour to play.

The Packers were held to a third-period goal in the 5-1 loss.

If Arnprior won Wednesday, game six will be played Fri-day in Buckingham at 8 p.m.

A seventh game, if necessary, is at the Nick Smith Centre Sunday at 7 p.m.

Arnprior is challenging some history. No Valley Division team has won the Metro-Valley fi nal since 1996.

The Casselman Vikings have taken a 3-2 lead on the Ath-ens Aeros in the Rideau-St. Lawrence Conference champion-ship series.

Casselman won 5-4 in double overtime Tuesday night.Four of the fi ve games have gone beyond 60 minutes, with

each team winning two.

Barbara WestgarthBehind the Glass

While the mild weather drove many people outdoors over the past two weeks, the curling crew continued to push on with the season.

Two teams tied with 5-1 records in the Senior Menʼs Curly Wood draw forced a playoff.

Charlie Ricard, Jarda Pa-pousek, Ted Digel, and Keith Wesbrook bested Don Rouble, Tom Gray, Denny Barnes and Bernie Leclaire by a score of 6-5.

The Low Cup Intramural Menʼs continues to challenge as Renfrewʼs Rob Warren, Don Rouble, Dwight Hayward and Ed Hanson lost 4-3 but won 12-4 over Deep River.

Dave Eady, Jim Berg, Andy Sklepowicz and Ted Di-

gel won 7-5 in their fi rst and scored three in the eighth end to tie 8-8. This places Renfrew in third with one more set of games to go.

The Renfrew Curling Club day curlers ventured off to the Huntley Curling Club March 14 with three Renfrew teams.

Team one was skipped by Jane Hunter, third Anne Windle, second Larry Vis-neskie and lead Joan Eaton. This team lost an early lead, but came back big time to end their game in a tie.

Team two, skipped by Karl Mann with Leith Col-lins, Anne MacNeil and Jean Klages fought an extremely close game. They tied it in the seventh but lost in the eighth as the home team had hammer and took the game with a one-point return.

Skip Yvonne Sklepowicz, Barb Roy, Laurie Miller and Roy Leitch were challenged from the fi rst end with Hunt-ley showing no mercy.

Many laughs were shared over lunch when play was done with Renfrew vowing to return the favour next season.

The Renfrew Curling Club celebrated St. Pattyʼs in fi ne manner when 12 teams faced off on the curling ice and in the clubhouse for the annual St. Pattyʼs fun ʼspiel.

The team of Ed Lepack, Larry Lepack, Chris Jelicoe and Tim McCullough took the trophy home for high score. Dates have been set for next yearʼs season, so check out our website at http://renfrew-curlingrink.ovca.com/ to stay current on all the curling club news.

Now in its fourth year, the Hell or High Wa-ter Weekend presented by Ottawa Paddleshack has grown to become the largest whitewater event in the country.

And thereʼs still plenty of space for more rafts and dragon boat teams. No experience is necessary and HOHW.ca is the site to check out for how you can join the action.

This yearʼs event opens with the Reel Pad-dling Film Festival on Friday, May 11. Raft-ing and kayaking follow on Saturday, while the dragon boat races will run both Saturday and Sunday.

With the addition of dragon boat races on the fl at water of the Ottawa River, the event should draw close to 1,000 participants. Bringing to-gether multiple whitewater disciplines, on a challenging course, the event has grown rap-idly in popularity. Unique to the Hell or High Water event, the raft race allows even inexpe-rienced rafters to test their mettle against some of the best teams in the country, and learn more about whitewater paddlesports in the process.

Jon Booren, a three-year participant and member of the top competitive Canadian raft team, attests to the quality of the event.

“It is an awesome event. Hell or High Wa-ter really provides a great venue for our sport,” says Booren. “It brings new people out to ex-perience whitewater. It is delivered in a safe environment, but it still provides plenty of excitement, and spectators are able to watch some of the countryʼs top whitewater athletes race a great course.”

Registration opens March 1 and is expected to sell out quickly.

If you are interested in entering, get your teams in now. All the details are on the www.hohw.ca event website.

Hell or High Water Weekend began in 2009. A small event comprised of mostly Ottawa Valley boaters, who came to the river to show

their support against the pending loss of this river to a hydro project. Since then, the event has grown to more than 400 participants from across the country.

The 2012 event continues to grow, adding more activities and more racers to the roster.

The festival gets started with the Town of Petawawa bringing the best in paddling fi lms to the public with a showing of the Reel Pad-dling Film Festival on Friday night at the Civic Centre. Proceeds from the event are being used to help build and maintain the water-based rec-reational spaces within Petawawa.

The on-water events begin early Saturday morning, with canoes, rafts and kayaks racing all day from the “Railroad” rapid off Wilson Avenue to the Centennial Park “Catwalk”. This is a great venue to take in the action, with music, outdoor sports and food vendors and plenty to see and do.

Not to be missed, for the fi rst-time event, dragon boat teams will hit the Ottawa River running a 200-metre course along the Petawa-wa Point beach.

These long boats, powered by the brute force and sheer determination of 20 paddlers, will be racing head-to-head with practice races on Saturday and the fi nals on Sunday. Believe it or not, these boats and paddlers actually have enough power to tow a waterskier.

“These dragon boats are amazing and the races, while competitive, have a really friendly atmosphere,” says Mike Crouzat, one of the event organizers.

“You donʼt need any experience in dragon boats, all the equipment is provided, and the money we raise goes to a great cause.

“Weʼre hoping that clubs, sports teams, businesses or even large families or neighbours will join forces and enter a team. Maybe even make this a Motherʼs Day to remember!”

Other new events this year include free (by donation) action sports photography clinics of-fered by John Rathwell Photography (www.johnrathewellphotography.com).

As a skier, paddler and general outdoors sports fan, Rathwell has been shooting action sports for many years, with a particular focus on whitewater and paddling sports.

Although digital SLR cameras are preferred, all are welcome and the one-hour clinics have a lot to offer experienced and amateur shutter-bugs alike.”

If you are interested in entering a team in either the raft race or the dragon boat race, all the money raised is being donated to three

charities that are close to the hearts of people within the local area: Whitewater Ontario, Al-gonquin Collegeʼs Capital Campaign and Sol-dier On. For event details or to register, visit www.HOHW.ca

Hell or High Water Weekend, supported by Ottawa Paddleshack, is one of Canadaʼs largest whitewater paddlesports festivals.

Incorporating multiple disciplines – canoe, kayak, raft, dragon boat – in both whitewater and fl atwater, the event celebrates the rivers and recreational opportunities available in the Ottawa Valley.

Hell or High Water also raises funds for causes that are close to the hearts of those in this community.

Whitewater festival May 12

A great way to experience the thrills of whitewater, the Hell or High Water Raft race is open to teams of six people. All the equipment, and skilled guides are supplied by ES-PRIT Rafting.

Getting up close and personal, spectators can take in all the action of the Hell or High Water races from Centennial Park “Catwalk” in Petawawa. This year’s race will be held on Saturday, May 12.

Continued from Page 5

The story basically began in 1999 when the couple, which used to live in the Pem-broke area, accepted a Voluntary Mis-sionary Movement invitation to spent two years in Guatemala.

They accepted the challenge, which lead to setting up a pre-school at the Dreamerʼs Centre in Antigua City where they volunteered. Before long the word was out about the early childhood educa-tion program that Susan had implemented; soon others were asking her to do the same for their communities. Eventually several schools were established, some in the most remote areas of Guatemala.

This approach is a welcomed alterna-tive to the rote learning system in the es-tablished schools of Guatemala. It has also caught the attention and interest of educa-tors in the countryʼs public school system.

In 2010 a group of men and women who have worked with the Schmaltzes in the Ottawa Valley and/or Guatemala formed the Circle of Oneness, to help facilitate the planting seeds program. That group meets monthly in Pembroke or Ottawa.

The Saturday, April 21 fundraiser runs 6 to 9 p.m. at Lourdes Catholic Church, 280 Lourdesview Dr., Pembroke.

The event also features music and en-tertainment, activities for children and door prizes.

For more ticket details, call Grace at 819-689-2548, Carole at 613-735-2172, Anita at 613-687-6439, Rose-Anne at 613-757-0840, or Marjorie at 613-735-7322. Or visit Turbo Graphics at 995 Pembroke Street East during the day.

Tickets are $25 for adults and $10 for children over the age of three.

From Cobden to Hawaii and beyond with Cobden Community Players

Some proceeds from another event will also support the Guatemalan projects backed by Susan and Richard Smaltz.

The Cobden Community Players are presenting Nurse Jane Goes to Hawaii April 13 to 15 at the Cobden Agricultural Hall.

Friday and Saturday proceeds from the 7:30 p.m. shows go to local charities.

Sundayʼs proceeds from the 2 p.m. show are for the Guatemalan projects.

Tickets, for home-cooked meals from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, are $12 for adults and $7 for children 12 and under.

Tickets for the show are $10 for adults and $5 for children.

Schmaltzes’ work in Guatemala:1999 beginning

Teacher Susan O’Neil has been teaching Ukrainian egg painting for 20 years.

Lucy [email protected]

Ukrainian folklore says for every egg painted, there is one less evil deed in the world.

If thatʼs the case, plenty of good was generated by the Grades 4 to 7 classes who learned the ancient art last week at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School in Renfrew.

Susan OʼNeil has been teaching the art for 20 years, offering instruction that covers curriculum from religion studies and world cultures to art and science.

The students painted the fragile eggs, using candle wax and a delicate pen-like tool called a kistky that is like a straw with a tiny ink ball at the end.

The popular Ukrainian crafts are made year-round but are especially popular at Easter. Easter weekend this year is April 6 to 9.

Egg-cellent experience at Fatima schoolMercury photos by Lucy Hass

Student Connor Owl pays great attention to detail as he draws wax to paint images on an egg to create a Ukrainian treasure.

The family of the late Randy McTear wish to thank all family, friends and the many others who over the years have helped with Randy’s care in dealing with his health issues. We could not have managed without the help and guidance of the family and emergency doctors and nurses of Renfrew Victoria Hospital, Renfrew Dialysis Unit, Sunshine Coach (very aptly named), paramedics and Bonnechere Manor. Randy could not have had better care.

Thanks to Wayne Heubner for his help in the final arrangements, to Reverend Sheryl for her support and the memorial service, the Haley’s United Church U.C.W. and the congregation for the reception afterwards. The contributions of food brought to our home and the expressions of sympathy reminded us that there is a very caring community out there.

Corrine Deslaurier (Guest) Died March 23-2003.

This day will be a celebration of the short time you were here.

You will always be remembered with great love and many tears.

But to only feel pain and sorrow would not be fair to you.

Your life meant so much more to us, more than words could say.

You were here so briefly. I wonder if you knew all the ways you’ve touched

our would and our hearts and everyone who knew you since the day

God called you home. Now my child, you’re an angel

with your heavenly Father above, we see not only what we’ve lost

but our capacity of love. There will always be a big void in our life

and a hole in our hearts that will never heal.

Our souls will grieve forever. Will we forget or stop loving you?

No! Not now…not ever. As this day is upon us, oh, how our

hearts still hurt. But even as I mourn you death,

we will always celebrate your birth. It was the happiest day of our lives.

Fun By The Numbers

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

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

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, sit down with a calculator and get a better handle on your fi nances, especially what you’re bringing into the house each month and what is going out.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21It may be time to take a relationship to another level, Taurus. Look for inspiration from another couple you admire and enjoy the ride.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, with so much to do, you’re barely squeaking by this week. So avoid taking on any additional projects. Don’t dig yourself into a hole that you can’t get out of.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, fi nancial issues are certainly keeping you on your toes, although you are hoping for a respite. Go with the fl ow for now and fi nd a better way to organize.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, don’t be surprised when others are amenable to your ideas. You give careful consideration to all your proposals, and it’s no wonder others are ready to follow your lead.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, if you haven’t felt the crunch of a deadline yet, you probably cannot avoid it this week. Tackle the work head-on and don’t allow yourself to procrastinate.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, there’s too much on your mind to focus on just one thing for the time being. This is a sign that you need to cut down on your stimuli -- at least temporarily.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, expect others to turn to you for the next good idea or advice. It can be taxing being the reliable one, but it also an honor to be respected like this.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, when you want to get yourself heard, there is no point sugar-coating what you have to say. Most people appreciate honesty, even if it’s abrupt.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, some decisions you make may not be the right decisions. A wise person learns from his or her mistakes but also tries new things.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, remember that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Stop looking at what’s wrong where you are, and focus on what is right.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, trust friends and family when they insist they have your best interest in mind. You can’t always look out for yourself.

Was it a grackle or was it a mourning dove?

Lilian and Dwight Robin-son had a very odd-coloured common grackle come to their feeder with a large mixed fl ock of grackles, red-winged blackbirds and starlings.

Lilian said that the bird stood out among the other members of the fl ock. Its head and bill were black, and the eyes were yellow but the back and underparts were the colour of a mourning dove and the wing-tips were white.

The Robinsons said the bird was picked on by the others and was chased away from the feeder (and we thought bully-ing only occurred in humans). Such colour alterations tend to weaken the feather structure and cause them to be brittle and less likely to withstand the rigours of parenting.

Robins, however, with such colour changes have nested successfully in the area.

Such plumage patterns can have a genetic basis and be inherited from previous gen-erations. It may also develop in an individual as a result of a traumatic experience such as an encounter with a predator, striking a window or becom-ing entangled in long grass or fi shing line. The condition seldom remains after the bird goes through its next moult.

If you see this bird at your feeder, please let us know.

COME AND BRING YOUR OWN PILLOW

Hi, Jim and Ila: A few years ago in late

spring, maybe June, I put my king size feather pillows out-side on the side porch to get aired out because it was a hot sunny day.Well, wouldn’t you know, a crow picked up one of the pillows and tried to carry it away.

After about 30 feet the bird lost its grip and the pillow landed on the ground. I still wonder what the crow was going to do with the feather pillow.

We have pairs of crows that nest in the huge pine trees at the bottom of our hill. They are very noisy neighbours.

Regina PuhalskiThank you for the bird

house plans.

EARLY SPRING ARRIVALS

Hi, Jim & Ila:Arrivals at Poison Ivy Acres

in the past two weeks include turkey vultures, white-crowned

sparrows, mourning doves, phoebes and great crested fl y-catchers. A male great horned owl is making a lot of noise near the house at night.

Carol McCuaigAlthough they are fl ycatch-

ers, phoebes and great-crested fl ycatchers are able to survive on early emerging moths, fruit and some seeds. Any species that depends only on fl ying insects is very likely to perish unless there is an early hatch-ing of their food source.

Unfortunately the weather, being unpredictable as it is, can cause havoc among mi-grating fl ycatchers, warblers in particular.

WHERE ARE THE HAWKS?

Richard McManus has seen turkey vultures and heard song sparrows but has not seen any hawks so far this spring.

Seventeen large birds of prey were seen during the Christmas Bird Count, but during the remainder of the winter only a few were seen.

The early snow melt ex-posed small rodents and made hunting more productive for the birds but sightings have not increased.

Hawk migration depends on wind direction and a food source. They travel north on a south wind and south on a north wind. As soaring birds air movement that creates thermals is necessary if the birds are to migrate. When conditions are favourable the birds will move.

SANDHILL CRANES

This past week sandhill cranes, woodcock and kes-trels have returned to the area. These birds require very dif-ferent habitats to nest and feed. Watch for them in these areas. Sandhill cranes nest in swampy areas where they can fi nd the dried reeds and other vegetation to build their plat-form nest and in open areas where they feed on seeds, ber-ries, the roots of marsh plants, mice and voles.

The woodcock is unique among shorebirds in that it

spends the majority of its life in woodlands. They usu-ally feed in tag-alder swamps where the ground is moist and they can dig for worms, snails and the larvae of crane fl ies and midges. Their bills are fl exible which allows them to probe the mud for food.

Kestrels spend the daylight hours hunting in fi elds, pas-tures and in recent years on golf courses. They are the only falcon that will nest in special bird houses or cavities in cliff faces. They consume a variety of food items, such as small birds, lizards, small rodents, grasshoppers and dragonfl ies.Enjoy your birding.
