Injunction for Moviemat videos dismissed Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

See page 26 for the contestants in this year’s Miss Teen Ontario East Pageant.

Legal disagreements between Renfrew director of development and works Mike Asselin and Matt McDougall of Moviemat continue.

But McDougall has prevailed in the most recent chapter.

Justice Toscano Roccamo of the Ontario Superior Court has dismissed the injunction requested by Asselin after McDougall posted videos online late last year to profile his dispute with the town. A temporary injunction had been in place since Dec. 7.

“Iʼm freaking happy, man,” said McDougall, the owner of Moviemat, which sells pornographic videos and sports memorabilia at 785 OʼBrien Rd. “Itʼs a huge amount of stress removed.

It was nice to be vindicated and to know youʼre allowed to have your opinion.”

March 25, Justice Roccamo also ruled that McDougall is entitled to have his full legal costs covered, including costs for preparation and attendance at court Dec. 7 and Jan. 25. If the two sides canʼt determine what amount is owed, she will make a ruling shortly. McDougall estimates the cost at $23,000.

McDougallʼs first video in question, of about nine minutes, was placed on Moviemat.com YouTube on Oct. 27, 2012, the day after Renfrew building inspector Murray Gahan, issued a stopwork order for Moviemat. The video was viewed 2,351 times and 50 comments were posted.

Renfrew Mercury follows up provincial success with national honours Staff

In this season of newspaper awards, The Renfrew Mercury has backed up Metroland and provincial honours with national recognition.

The Renfrew Mercury learned last Wednesday that the paper has also earned blue-ribbon status for general excellence in Canadian Community Newspapers Association judging against 34 other papers from coast to coast.

In the premier awards competition, The Mercury placed third in the category for

best national editorial for papers with circulation 12,500 to 24,999.

The editorial by Mercury news editor Lucy Hass was titled, “Senate reform lost in the petty one-upmanship of patronage” and was one of 29 entries.

The June 2012 editorial raised the issue of Senate reform and partisan appointments to the unelected body, and the perceived message conveyed by naming former members of the media, Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin, to the upper chamber.

The editorial placed third behind a firstplace entry by Beryl Wajsman of The Sub-

President’s perspective on the future of AECL Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

As Canadaʼs major provider of nuclear science and technology, the Atomic Energy Canada Limited is moving into new territory that holds no guarantees.

But Dr. Bob Walker, president of the AECL Chalk River laboratories, offered optimism, and clarification at Renfrew County councilʼs March 27 session in Pembroke.

Dr. Walker spoke about the federal governmentʼs GOCO management model to guide AECL into a new transitional phase by 2016. GOCO stands for government-owned, contractor-operated.

The first contract in this new phase is expected to be for about 10 years, with the contract “likely to be recompeted,” said Walker.

The contract, said Walker, will also take careful regard for the rights of current AECL employees.

“Ultimately, the scope and size of the laboratories, whether we are the same size, smaller or bigger, will be determined through the negotiation of the GOCO contract with the government of Canada and contracts with other customers,” said Walker.

It remains to be determined if major operators will include foreign companies, but Walker says the GOCO model is with healthy precedent, including American laboratories in such places as Los Alamos and Idaho Falls.

Today, AECL is Canadaʼs premier nuclear science and technology centre, says Walker. Its eight locations are found in Manitoba, New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario for 3,400 employees, whose total annual income is about $300 million.

Nearly 3,000 of those employees are in Renfrew County, with about 2,500 at Chalk Riverʼs 17 AECL facilities and another 450 in Deep River.

“Let me be clear,” said Walker. “The government is not selling the nuclear laboratories. The assets and liabilities will remain with the government of Canada. This is a big deal. An initiative on this scale has never been done in Canada before. That said, it has been implemented in the United States and the United Kingdom for many years.”

MANDATES FOR ‘NEW’ AECL

Once the AECL transition is complete, AECL will have three, maybe four, mandates.

Bob Walker, president of AECL Chalk River labs.

The first will be to continue to be the governmentʼs agent for addressing its historic and legacy liabilities, said Walker.

One aspect of this mandate is Canadaʼs participation in the global nuclear initiative that results in the repatriation of two forms of highly-enriched uranium, which originated in the U.S., back to the U.S. for its ultimate disposal.

Thirty countries are involved in this initiative, including several who have completed the transfer safely, securely and without incident, said Dr. Walker.

According to law, and for reasons related to counter-terrorism security, Walker canʼt say how much of that material is scheduled for transport from Chalk River to South Carolina in the near future.

He also said a robust approval process in the U.S. and Canada will allow for the safe transfer and permanent disposal of this nuclear waste.

The second mandate is to provide nuclear science technologies, capabilities and services to many federal government departments, related to such issues as the environment, public health and nuclear security. But this will be done with a stronger customer-supplier relationship.

The third mandate will be support for indepth nuclear technological development, research and evaluation.

A potential fourth mandate is for the government to assess the value of investing federal tax dollars in longer-term nuclear innovation.This could include support for building

a new nuclear reactor or research reactor.

Based on feedback from the private sector, there is interest from businesses to be part of the financial support for such projects.

One of the county councillors in the audience was Deep River Mayor David Thompson who applauded Dr. Walker for his “profoundly proactive leadership.”

Referring to the transitioning of AECL, which is Deep Riverʼs largest employer, Thompson said the future of the Crown corporation is a great concern to his community, but a concern that comes with optimism for its future.

“I can tell you Iʼve slept a heck of a lot better since I met Bob two years ago, because of Bobʼs ability to steer through so many levels of government and bureaucracy,” said Thompson.

‘EXCITING OPPORTUNITY’

“But this is an exciting opportunity because we know it (the GOCO model) works,” said Thompson. “We know it works in Britain and we know it works in the United States, and I think what itʼs going to do is bring back the entrepreneurial spirit, the same spirit on which that site was founded some 60 years ago.

“For the employees who are there, I think this is going to be a hell of an opportunity to reinvigorate and to just regain the enthusiasm of working in such a unique workplace.”

Thompson also noted itʼs incumbent on municipal representatives to work closely with members of the Organization of Canadian Nuclear Industries to bring more of its jobs to Renfrew County. At present, he says the organization employs about 75,000 people, mostly outside the county.

The possibilities for AECL are many, says Walker.

“While many in the Ottawa Valley tend to associate AECL with medical isotopes, theyʼre actually a very small part of our business. We provide the science that helps us safely regulate our nuclear facilities.

AECL also helps Canadian operators and CANDU utilities around the world continue to operate those plants safely, securely, reliably and economically. We are also a rich source of innovative technology solutions … which are numerous … We are the premier science and technology organization in the nuclear field in Canada, and it is worth celebrating.”

McDougall Continued from front

A second video outlining McDougallʼs description of the townʼs correspondence and communication with him was released Nov. 8, 2012. It was viewed 1,554 times, while 36 comments were posted.

McDougall received hundreds of online responses to the videos, including several that Asselin said he found defamatory.

A temporary injunction was placed on the videos Dec. 7, 2012. That injunction was permanently lifted March 25.

“Iʼm not happy, but I understand that they (the courts) have a high test (of tolerance),” said Asselin.

“It was a disappointing result, to have to have the (video) material back on the Internet.”

As for some of the commentaries linked to the videos, Asselin added: “I think anyone would find them distasteful.”

Anyone has the right to criticize the town and its process, said Asselin, “but when you make the comments personal and in a language that I donʼt use in day-to-day life, thatʼs what we find offensive.”

Justice Roccamo, in arriving at her decision, cited legal precedents, including the conclusions that there “is a significant interest in the free and uncensored circulation of information and the important freedom of the press (is)

to be safeguarded,” and that the “Internet should not be less free for expression than other media. The Internet may present unique problems and unique challenges, but its use does not and should not invite unwarranted restriction of freedom of expression.”

The plaintiff (Asselin) had submitted that the defendant had generated defamatory comments on the YouTube channel through the use of such aliases as Laurence Robert, FirstWavePureSoul and Lauren6470.

Defendant McDougall argued he was merely expressing his own opinion on the videos, and that he was not responsible for the statements of others.

The decision basically says that youʼre allowed to have freedom of speech, said McDougall. The videos were placed back on YouTube last week.

“Theyʼre quite famous.

Thereʼs been a thousand views the last four days,” said McDougall March 28. “Iʼm getting all kinds of phone calls (of support) and a load of emails.”

“When you get a dismissal, thatʼs the most powerful message; that this was a waste of time,” he said of Justice Roccamoʼs decision.

“I know my rights. I stood my ground, and I rolled the dice, against my lawyerʼs recommendation,” added McDougall, saying he turned down the possibility of striking a deal.

Meanwhile, McDougall may still face the $100,000 defamation suit that Asselin has already filed.

“Weʼre weighing our options,” said Asselin. “Weʼre weighing the pros and cons.”

The justiceʼs ruling represents a huge relief, but it has come at a cost, says McDougall.

“My wife (Cindy) and I are a nervous wreck. My business has suffered because I couldnʼt work,” said McDougall, who now faces the next chapter.

McDougall previously operated Moviemat on Raglan Street, in downtown Renfrew, but opened his new location Oct. 26 2012. He said he hopes to pay more attention to the business, now that the video injunction has been lifted.

Meanwhile, McDougall is being defended by his insurance companyʼs legal counsel, Michael Polovin of Business Insurance Intact, on two fronts. He may still face the $100,000 defamation suite, and he faces eight charges filed by the Town of Renfrew.

If McDougall is found guilty on all eight charges, he says heʼll face maximum fines totaling $239,000.

The charges include the changing the words on a business sign, advertising the sale of adult products, and building the structure at 785 OʼBrien Road.

The charges were disclosed in Renfrew provincial court March 22. The case is scheduled to continue May 24.

Strong support for resolution to premier on Endangered Species Act steve.newman@metroland.com

McNab-Braeside Mary Campbell is displeased Renfrew County hasnĘźt been more speciďŹ c about compensation for land owners who establish safe habitat for endangered species.

However, during the March 27 session of county council, she and several colleagues expressed satisfaction with Warden Peter EmonĘźs letters and accompanying resolution to Premier Kathleen Wynne and new Minister of Natural Resources David Orazietti.

In the letter dated March 13, 2013, the warden alludes to his conversation with Wynne at the recent Ontario Good Roads Association/ROMA conference in Toronto. He invited the premier, who is also the agriculture minister, to visit the county for its Taste of the Valley and Ottawa Valley Wood branding exercise.

In the same letter, he ďŹ nished his four-paragraph letter with reference to a longer letter sent to the minister of natural resources about the Endangered

Species Act. Emon told the premier that Renfrew County residents “are proud and knowledgeable stewards of the land and wildlife, and wish to be viewed as such.

We also want to reassure that we are co-operative, however, (we) request balance when applying the Act and request that our interests are recognized, respected and dealt with.�

In his March 8 letter to the MNR minister, Emon said it is “our belief the Endangered Species Act needs to be implemented in a fair and balanced manner, with due consideration of the impact on the communities throughout Ontario.�

Unfortunately, wrote Emon, discussion of the act has “deteriorated into a battle between highly-funded and well-connected environmental groups and rural property owners that have lived and worked in our communities for generations, all the while in harmony with, and as good stewards of, endangered species on their lands. We are not interested in this type of dialogue.�

Emon said the act “unnecessarily impactsâ€? Ontario communities and that “protection of species in rural and urban settings needs to occur in a manner that does not place communities in a ďŹ nancially unsustainable position.â€?

The resolution being sent to Wynne and Orazietti, following county councilĘźs approval March 26, will also be sent to all Ontario municipalities for support.

In summary, the resolution says the Endangered Species Act does not achieve recovery of endangered species, creates more disincentive to invest in Ontario, results in a loss of economic opportunity, and adds a new and costly layer of bureaucracy and regulatory burden.

It also asks that the ESA be amended to ensure sound science is used to support listings, delistings and designations of critical habitat.

The county resolution also calls for the burden of proof of a speciesĘź existence on private property to be placed on the provincial government, and for

critical habit to be ensured with the help of ďŹ ve measures. These measures include the use of a map-based approach to locate boundaries for critical habitat.

The letters and resolutions are follow-ups to the countyĘźs Feb. 22 forum on Endangered Species Act regulations. Speaker after speaker stressed the need to reduce the burden of ESA regulations on the local economy While Mayor Campbell said she likes the resolution, she said it also requires speciďŹ cs about compensation for property owners who meet provincial criteria to protect endangered species.

Renfrew Reeve Audrey Green, the acting chair of the property and development committee that brought the resolution forward, asked the resolution be passed in its present form, and that attention to compensation be left for a second phase of communication.

Renfrew County CAO Jim Hutton encouraged passing the resolution in its current form. “Time is of the essence,� said Hutton, noting supporters of the ESA are building their support

with workshops shortly. “The only thing thatĘźs endangered in this particular piece of legislation is common sense,â€? said Deep River Mayor Thompson. “ItĘźs a quantum leap of

Seven Town of Renfrew employees make Sunshine List

LUCY HASS/METROLAND

Renfrew Mercury reporter Steve Newman has placed third in the feature writing category at this year’s Metroland editorial awards for a story on the search for pilot Louis Brown.

Newman wins Metroland third for feature writing Staff

Renfrew Mercury reporter Steve Newman has been awarded thirdplace for feature writing at this yearʼs Metroland Editorial Awards.

The award was for an article he write about the search for WWII pilot Louis Brown.

“One of the gratifying things about doing this story was that is was a response to a historianʼs efforts to collect information for the establishment of a cenotaph in recognition of people who had lost their lives during war times in the Kingston area.

“I was able to do the story and to put a face to this person who was a graduate of a Kingston school and find out what his Renfrew roots were and what his Renfrew connection was, through the help of community leaders who responded very quickly and indepth to who Louis Brown was,” Newman said.

Second place in the same feature category went to Kanata KourierStandard news editor Blair Edwards for his piece on the courage of a breast cancer survivor.

The Renfrew Mercury also followed up a recent Ontario Community Newspapers Association third-

place award for general excellence with an honourable mention in the same category in Metroland Editorial Awards of Excellence judging.

The top honours will be presented at Metrolandʼs Vaughan Press Centre May 10.

In general excellence judging.

Renfrewʼs sister papers The Arnprior Chronicle-Guide placed tops in its categories, with The West Carleton Review close behind in third.

6 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, April 4, 2013

The health, education and legal areas continue to dominate the Sunshine List in Renfrew County, but for the first time the Town of Renfrew has several employees who earn at least $100,000.

The annual list of Ontario Public Service and related employees paid $100,000 or more by taxpayers was released late last week, showing 88,412 were paid $100,000 or more in 2012, up about 11 per cent over 2011. The municipalities and services sector accounted for 38 per cent of the increase or about 3,300 employees.

The number of Town of Renfrew workers making $100,000-plus rose from one to seven as six employees made the list for the first time.

The town workers on the list are treasurer Keray OʼReilly ($122,449), development and works director Mike Asselin ($117,654), fire chief Guy Longtin ($114,562), town clerk Kim Bulmer ($108,031), fire captain Tim Hill ($115,176), fire lieutenant Daniel Visneskie ($105,332) and fire captain Peter Whalen ($102,588).

Other RVH employees on the Sunshine List are vice-president of corporate services Julia Boudreau ($140,915), vice-president patient services Christine Ferguson ($140,589) and former vice-president financial services Tim Sonnenburg ($134,981).

The highest paid Ontario public sector worker in Renfrew County is Renfrew County and District Health Unit medical officer of health Michael Corriveau, who earned $294,200.

Three other health unit officials, Catherine Bloskie ($122,099), Carolyn Walters ($107,355) and Robert Schreader ($104,303) are

also on the list.

The number of County of Renfrew employees on the list dropped from 18 to 17 in 2012. CAO Jim Hutton earned $186,048, followed by treasurer-deputy clerk Jim Kutschke at $156,965.

Others were public works and engineering director Dave Darch ($146,745), human resources director Bruce Beakley ($140,497), social services director David Anderson ($133,198), emergency services director Mike Nolan ($127,278), and director of development and property Paul Moreau ($115,663).

Bonnechere Manor and Miramichi Lodge administrators Shayne Hoelke and Shelley Sheedy both made $127,278 and director of care Violet Rossy earned $105,943. The other seven on the list are emergency service officials.

The number of Renfrew County public school board employees on the list stayed almost the same, going from 69 to 70, while the number of Renfrew County Catholic school board workers jumped 33 per cent from 36 to 48.

The public board members were led by education director Roger Clarke ($179,754), Superintendents Lisa Schimmens-Kuehl, Dennis Jenkins, Debra Rantz and Gail Bishop all made about $156,000. There were also 26 public school principals, up from 24 in 2011, who earned at least $100,000, as well as 17 vice-principals and 14 teachers.

The Renfrew County Catholic school board employees on the list included director of education Michele Arbour ($175,040), superintendent of educational services Jaimie Perry ($151,385), superintendent of business Mary Lynn Schauer ($151,385) and superintendent of educational services Peter Adam ($145,559).

EDITORIAL

Care about agriculture Spring is in the air – the season of rebirth and rejuvenation. There could be no better time to remind ourselves of the important role that agriculture plays in our lives.

Last week a news release from BMO, the Bank of Montreal, invited Canadians to celebrate spring by supporting the nationʼs vibrant agriculture sector.

The release noted that agriculture in Canada accounts for 8.1 per cent of total gross domestic product (GDP) and $63.5 billion in global trade. Canada is also the worldʼs fifth largest agriculture exporter and sixth largest importer.

It was also noted that Canadians try to purchase home-grown poultry, vegetables, beef, fruit and cheese, always or frequently.

“Canadian consumers continue to benefit from a strong and stable agriculture system with reliable food sources and unparalleled safety,” said Karl McLaren, BMO manager of agriculture.

A BMO survey revealed that Canadians try to purchase the following home-grown products always or frequently: poultry (84 per cent); vegetables (91 per cent); beef (78 per cent); fruit (86 per cent) and cheese (81 per cent).

The timing appears good for the new Ontario government who reintroduced legislation

March 25. If passed, it will help to make more local food available in markets, schools, cafeterias, grocery stores and restaurants throughout the province.

A government news release said, if passed, the Local Food Act would: • Increase local food awareness, access and sales by setting local food goals and targets in consultation with stakeholders; • Enable government to work with public sector organizations toward these goals and share information on their progress and results; • Proclaim a Celebrate Ontario Local Food Week that would begin the Monday before Thanksgiving; and, • Require the government to produce a local food report on its activities to support local food “Eating local isnʼt just good for Ontario families – itʼs good for our economy,” says Premier Elizabeth Wynne, who is also Minister of Agriculture and Food. “Thatʼs why our government will continue to work with the agri-food sector, including retailers and food service operators, to bring more Ontario food to the table.”

Itʼs a hopeful message for an industry far too often overlooked.

Food, and job, security are at stake.

COLUMN

A marquee moment on main street LUCY HASS View from The ‘Frew The marquee at Renfrewʼs historic OʼBrien Theatre got a major overhaul last week. Now it offers a bright, new digital display.

The theatre has entertained generations of Renfrew and area families, and movie lovers from beyond.

Just last summer a woman from Barryʼs Bay told me the story of her family travelling to Ottawa to catch a movie. When they got to the city, the show they wanted to see was sold out and they didnʼt want to settle for something less than anticipated.

Thanks to technology, they did a quick mobile search and discovered their choice was showing in Renfrew.

So they travelled back into Renfrew County, went to the OʼBrien Theatre and were so impressed theyʼre sure to return.

Much has changed at the local the-

atre over the years.

People in the balcony once viewed the same film as the patrons below.

Today the balcony houses a second screen that allows two different films to be shown at once.

And last week the marquee, which had been updated by hand for decades, now sports a digital display.

When reporter Peter Clark went over to photograph the change, owner Murray Adolph shared some heritage photos. One 1960s marquee shows Peyton Place and a 1952 marquee promotes The Jester starring Danny Kaye.

Adolph also shared a few theatre calendars sponsored by Joyntʼs Cleaners, McVicars Taxi, Van Slyck Gifts and Novelties, Tom McDowell Car Sales, Fraserʼs Clothing, H. Jamieson ans Son Texaco, H.B. Coolican, Smith Fuels, Goldyʼs Laundry and Morglan Insurance.

In October 1958 Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster starred in the submarine war classic Run Silent, Run Deep; Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh in The Vikings; and two more sea war dramas, Robert Mitchum and Curt Jurgens in The Enemy Below and William Holden

and Sophia Loren in The Key. There was also, “approved by religious and educational authorities,” a double bill Birth of a Baby and Nearer to Heaven, and the Hemingway novel The Sun Also Rises. There was also a Halloweʼen special, Unknown and Back from the Dead.

Some December 1961 offerings: Deborah Kerr and Robert Mitchum in The Sundowners; Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye and Rosemary Clooney in the big holiday hit White Christmas; Elvis Presley and Hope Lange in Wild in the Country; and the “Clown Prince of the Screen” Jerry Lewis in The Ladies’ Man. My first trip to the OʼBrien Theatre was the reward for winning a childhood colouring contest and the 1967 movie was Disneyʼs The Jungle Book, based on author Rudyard Kiplingʼs 1894 novel. To this day, the sound of Baloo the bear singing, “Look for the bare necessities, the simple bare necessities, forget about your worries and your strife..” is etched on my musical memory like a needle scratch on an old LP. Congratulations to Murray Adolph for keeping our theatre, and movie memories, alive.

The Heart of Hospice

Reflections and Celebrations Michelle Martin Hospice Renfrew

Anniversaries and birthdays often spark thoughts of reflection and celebration, while looking forward to the coming years.

As Hospice Renfrew marks its fithyear anniversary, there are reasons to both reflect and celebrate.

Reflecting back 613-433-3993 to 2003, the reality 459 Albert St. of a homey, local Renfrew ON facility dedicated K7V 1V8 to end-of-life care info@hospicerenfrew.ca was only a dream in the hearts of several compassionate visionaries.

Recognizing that resources for end of life care within rural communities can be limited, the undertaking began to provide a place where people could remain close to the community and life they knew before their illness.

Dedication to the dream of a local hospice where residents and their families would experience care, comfort and compassion in their final days became a reality when the doors of Hospice Renfrew were officially opened on Jan. 14, 2008.

The reasons that Hospice Renfrew has to celebrate are many.

We celebrate a community that embraced and supported the vision of a local hospice.

Hospice Renfrew continues because of the generosity of this community.

We celebrate staff whose loyalty to the residents is praiseworthy as they provide excellence in the specialized work of palliative care.

We celebrate our volunteers who bring skills, talents and their time adding a unique element to daily life at Hospice Renfrew.

Yet most of all, we celebrate the lives of the residents who chose Hospice Renfrew as a place to live out their final days.

In the years ahead, Hospice Renfrew looks forward to continuing to provide comfort, care and compassion.

The plastic hand gun

Join the fight against cancer

To the editor: As I entered the Renfrew Gun & Hunting Show on Saturday, March 9, 2013, I was amazed by the number of hunters and long gun collectors in the Renfrew Armoury.

Purchasing and trading was in progress at every display.

One of the enclosed glass cases got my undivided attention. It exhibited several handguns which seemed to be familiar to me. They were Polish TT handguns commonly carried by military ofďŹ cers and the militia at the time of my life over there. The fellow standing next to me was looking at them as well, asking the vendor with the hint of ridicule and surprise: “Polish handguns? They are made of plastic!â€?, he said with an outburst of laughter addressed to the vendor and his companion. That triggered my immediate crossďŹ re. I said: “If you think this gun is made of plastic, then I most likely am made of plastic, too, which is not exactly the case. I always thought I am made of stainless steel with some elements of gold, diamonds and titanium, as were all my ancestors back in Warsaw, Poland. Following was my sentence in Polish, proving IĘźm Polish made not only of stainless steel, but also of Polish bone and Polish muscle...

I donĘźt recall the rest of this encounter as, in my mind suddenly appeared an image of my grandpaĘźs brother whom I knew him only from family pictures. In 1943, at the peak of terror in Hitler occupied Poland, he left his family house one morning and was never seen again. Most likely he was street executed or taken to one of the concentration camps that the Germans placed in my native country, as well as in other German-occupied countries in Europe.

YouĘźve bet he could be carrying a plastic gun.

Not so my own father though. Soon after, he fought with a real metal, automatic submachine gun in the 1944 Warsaw Uprising, willing to sacriďŹ ce his life for the country he loved. At the age of 17, he enlisted in the underground military, pro-democratic organization AK (Armia Krajowa The National Army), Batalion

To the editor: Every three minutes another Canadian is faced with ďŹ ghting cancer. Throughout April, volunteers in Renfrew County and across Ontario will be working together to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society during Daffodil Month.

Join the ďŹ ght against cancer this April by wearing a daffodil pin and most important on April 27 which is Daffodil Day. For a small donation, Canadians can wear their pin to show solidarity with those living with cancer, letting them know they are not alone.

Thanks to many local businesses supporting our daffodil pin campaign you can pick one up in your local community. In April volunteer canvassers will also be out knocking on doors and asking for your support. They will be easily identiďŹ ed with their daffodil name tag, carrying a bright yellow canvass kit and proudly wearing a daffodil pin.

Money raised during Daffodil Month helps the Society do everything it can to prevent cancer, fund research to outsmart cancer and empower, inform and support people living with cancer right here in Renfrew County.

The Canadian Cancer Society is marking its 75th anniversary in 2013. It is an occasion to celebrate our successes over 75 years while recognizing the work that still needs to be done in our ďŹ ght for life.

It is only with the support of

to the journalist profession in which he worked for 45 years, Poland awarded him six more medals.

None of them he received for nothing. He humbly wore one on rare occasions as a manifestation of his patriotic belonging to the ranks of ďŹ ghters. He wore it as a symbol of memories of his comrades fallen in battle. He wore other ones as a symbol of the high esteem expressed by his country for the extraordinary citizens standing high above average in their attainments in the times of peace. They are all now in my possession, as a part of my deďŹ nition as a Canadian citizen.

They shed light on who I am.

Nobody hands out medals for cutting grass in Canada, meaning in this lifetime IĘźll never be able to match my ancestorĘźs merits.

The best I can do is to work hard, pay my taxes on time and devote my labour and business imagination to beautify our town and the properties of my clients.

IĘźm free to demonstrate my Polish heritage as shining brightly, adding a new spark to the hard-working Polish presence in the region.

Those, who are made of our fabric, who deserve, respect and appreciate medals bestowed for a real, tangible service making difference for their country, can count on my vote.

Manor coverage brings back memories To the editor: Like an old friend, I received a copy of The Renfrew Mercury this week, dated Feb. 28, 2013. Sharon Shalla from the Greater Madawaska Public Library delivered it to me in hospital where I have been

conďŹ ned for some time now.

Good to see on page 12 of that issue, Barb and Garry Hutchinson reviewing their wedding vows at the Bonnechere Manor, and I recognize some other friends in the picture, especially Gertie Win-

dle. It brings back so many memories of other days when we entertained at the manor.

Best of luck to you, Barb and Garry!

Buy a daffodil Renfrew Chapter of the Canadian Cancer Society president Ray Beimers urges people to support the fight against cancer by purchasing a daffodil. Daffodil Days run April 4, 5 and 6, and volunteers will be selling daffodil pins at banks and other locations.

Wearing the daffodil pin shows support and gives strength and courage to people living with cancer.

April is also Daffodil Month with coin boxes set up at banks and other businesses. “We thank the business community for their support,� Beimers said.

“Odwetâ€? (Revengeâ€?). After the fall of the uprising, he was not apprehended on the barricade by the German enemy, meaning death, but within the means of reprisals, he was sent with his father to a German “bauerâ€? (farmer) for slave work for the beneďŹ t of slowly collapsing Nazi Germany.

At the age 14, his younger brother, as a Scout, delivered mail in the under-Warsaw sewage system to the freedom ďŹ ghters exchanging ďŹ re and dying on the barricades. Later, he was a journalist dedicated to the Polish Scout Organization that he loved till the end of his professional career.

Their youngest brother was just being born in the basement of a bombed and burning apartment complex in the WarsawĘźs Old Town.

Many of their combatant colleagues were prosecuted by the post war communist regime for their membership in this pro-freedom organization.

Some disappeared without a trace.

Ultimately, years later, my father was awarded the second most prestigious medal in Poland, the PW, so called the Combatant Cross (Polska Walczaca – Poland in Combat), which actually tripled his journalistĘźs retirement pension. By that time, he was already a recipient of the highest Polish civilian medal – “Polonia Restitutaâ€?.

Sea Tour continues for Slean at Neat Cafe Steve Newman steve/newman@metroland. com

February and March were good to entertainer Sarah Slean during her cross-Canada Sea Tour, and sheʼs looking for more of the same in Burnstown next week.

The Pickering, Ont., pianist, singer and songwriter performs, along with a string quartet, at the villageʼs Neat Café on Saturday, April 13, the night after she performs in Mississauga.

During the tour, she has, or will have, visited more than 20 communities, including London, Regina, Fredericton, Hamilton and Stouffville, Ont. So why Burnstown?

“Because the spirit of

the Neat Café is incredibly inspiring to me,” she told The Renfrew Mercury in email correspondence. “The owners are avid do-it-yourselfers with a conscience and a deep love of music, the environment and their community.

“They built a sustainable house on their own, they built a sustainable business on their own based on justice, selfsufficiency, green principles and giving back — it is an absolute honour to be a part of their energy!” added Slean, who has been nominated for three Juno and two Gemini awards during her 15-year career.

“And the people that come to their café and to these shows are a huge part of that. When per-

Sarah Slean forming on that humble stage, it is impossible not to feel the audienceʼs joy at just being together and sharing these values. Thatʼs something really pronounced in rural communities — and I love it.”

Neat Café is pleased to have Slean back, noting on its website: “Two

Christmases ago Sarah Slean did no less than stun an entire audience for an entire evening.”

Those in Burnstown will hear the string quartet, which creates wonderful possibilities, says Slean.

“Iʼm finding that Iʼm having some realizations as my thirties progress, namely that making music with other people is a huge part of its power and magic. I am buoyed and inspired and encouraged and challenged by the musicians Iʼve had the pleasure of working with over the years. At the risk of sounding melodramatic, Iʼd say that this is a spiritual lesson in disguise.”

It helps that fellow musicians are also friends, she says.

“To have friends up there, to have their shared mastery moving along with you, creating sound, it makes the music better. And that makes the experience better for the audience, and I want them to leave feeling full, uplifted, revitalized.”

Slean will bring to the stage songs that feature string arrangements from previous albums and songs from her eighth and most recent album, Land & Sea. Visit www.neatfood. com for $50 tickets to the 8 p.m. performance.

Doors for seat selection open at 7:30 p.m.

The next week, Montreal rock band The Damn Truth performs at the Neat Café on Wednesday, April 17.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Do we need genetically-modified alfalfa?

To the editor: Traditional alfalfa or popularly known as Queen of the Forages is, and has been, an extremely important and widely grown successful crop in the livestock communities of Renfrew County and across Canada.

Farmers in Renfrew County and across Canada over the years have had the privilege of choosing from some 200 varieties of traditional alfalfa seed; some varieties are chosen to better suit the climate of this area.

Alfalfa is an ideal crop grown in rotation with corn, soybeans and wheat.

Weed control in an alfalfa crop is not an issue but alfalfa as a weed in other crops is a problem and farmers use Roundup to control it.

Roundup Ready alfalfa would defeat this purpose.

Together, family farmers and consumers should be sharing concerns in respect to the pending approval of genetically modified (GM) alfalfa seed and how it could affect the future of family farms and the supply of healthy nutritious local/Canadian food. There is no one in

the agricultural community and/ or consumer community asking for this technology.

Then why is the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), a branch of the federal government, contemplating to introduce GM alfalfa for use in Canada and possibly as early as this spring?

WHAT IS GM ALFALFA?

A company called Forage Genetics International has applied Monsantoʼs genetically -modified Roundup Ready (herbicide resistant) technology to alfalfa.

Canadian regulatory authorities have approved GM alfalfa for eating and growing, but the company needs to complete one more step, called variety registration, before it can sell GM alfalfa seed.

It is up to farmers and consumers to ask the federal government to stop the introduction of GM alfalfa seed before it is too late.

THE GM ALFALFA THREAT

Since alfalfa is a peren-

12 The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, April 4, 2013

nial plant that is pollinated by bees, GM alfalfa will inevitably cross-pollinate with non-GM and organic alfalfa, threatening the livelihood of family farmers across Canada.

Prairie farmers have already rejected GM alfalfa for these reasons, and now the industry is trying to introduce GM alfalfa in Eastern Canada.

If it is introduced, GM alfalfa will ruin export markets for alfalfa products, contaminate family farms, make it more difficult for farmers to control weeds, and threaten the future of organic food and farming in Canada.

Beekeepers are also most concerned in respect to the unknown of GM alfalfa. In addition, GM seeds cost twice as much as conventional seeds.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED WITH CERTAIN OTHER GM CROPS?

In 2009 Canada lost considerable flax export markets due to Triffid Flax (GM) contamination.

Most trading countries have zero tolerance for GM products.

In 2006 contamination occurred in the United States during an open field test of a modified gene in a strain of rice.

The genetic material from the unapproved rice contaminated more than 30 percent of all rice cropland in the US. Several organizations, including farm organizations and the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network (CBAN), are organizing a Day of Action April 9.

We are asking farmers and consumers to support these groups by either writing, e-mailing or phoning (leave a message) the following: RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant, e-mail cheryl.gallant@ parl.gc.ca or phone 613-7324404; or Minister of Agriculture & Agri-Food Gerry Ritz, e-mail gerry.ritz@parl.gc.ca or phone 613-995-7080 Message: Farmers and consumers do not need or want GM alfalfa. Stop the commercial introduction of GM alfalfa.

This is a serious matter. We thank you for your help. Together we can stop this plan.

Bald eagles need four years to reach adulthood transition stages throughout the first four years with the final adult plumage of yellow bill, white head and tail and dark brown feathers above and below. There is no mistaking the adult birds.

Gord has seen over 40 different eagles this past winter and has made many digital videos of their behaviour.

He will have these images available on disc shortly. The ones I have seen are of excellent quality.

GREAT BLUE HERONS

Frank Bennett thought he saw a great blue heron on his way to Pembroke last Thursday but with traffic being what is it on Highway 417 he did not want to stop.

On his way home he did take time and saw great blue heron fishing in Kohlsmithʼs Creek near Cobden.

Herons can and do get frozen into the ice if they do not move

JIM FERGUSON Scene from the Hawk’s Eye or fly to a perch.

In the fall they are not so lucky and can get permanently caught in the ice.

Male herons return early to claim the best nesting sites and waterways that are free of ice and have food (fish, frogs or snakes) in abundance.

Pair bonding, nest repair, and territory defence will keep them very busy until the chicks have hatched, then their work load starts in earnest.

RED-WINGED BLACKBIRDS

Jean Appleby had just read in The Mercury about Karen and Dan Kelly seeing red-winged blackbirds near her home in Otter Lake.

She thought is was quite a coincidence that on her way to Shawville shortly after reading the paper

she counted 13 male redwings perched on the wires along the road.

As of Easter Saturday there were many, many male redwings but no females at our feeders.

They are flashing their bright red shoulder patches at doves, grackles, blue jays and other male redwings hoping to show their prowess but the other birds do not appear to be impressed.

CANADA GEESE

increasing daily.

PAIR BONDING

Birds do not recognize members of other species or of the opposite sex. They identify each other as being from the same species in order to form pairs in time for the nesting season. To accomplish pair bonding they demonstrate different displays that are recognized by other members of their species.

One of the most common

displays is food sharing. A bird, often a male, will offer some food to a prospective mate, if accepted the bird is a female, if not it is a male and a fight breaks out.

Blue jays, evening grosbeaks, waxwings and bluebirds demonstrate this display. Watch for it at your feeders.

Another display is for the male to present nesting materials, grass, moss or leaves to the female.

If accepted, a pair bond is established. Songs are another display.

The whistles of the male and female cardinal, the three note song of the male

chickadee, the cooing of the male mourning dove are displays that result in pair bonding.

Other sounds, like the drumming of the hairy and pileated woodpecker or the winnowing sound of a male snipe as he flies, are sounds that attract a mate and result in pair bonding.

Watch and listen for these displays of pair bonding in the coming weeks.

Enjoy your birding. Ila and Jim Ferguson, 5313 River Road, RR 5, Renfrew, Ontario K7V 3 Z8, phone 613-4322738 or email jamesh”nrtco. net

The northward flight has begun. Several small flocks of geese have been seen heading north but nothing like the huge flocks that migrated south in the fall. Ruby and Jim Vieland at Cobden have seen a few flocks on Muskrat Lake but they say the CATHY CAMPBELL number and size What all the cooing is about? An immature mourning of the flocks is dove.

Gord McMillan called this week regarding the identification of bald eagles during their first three years of life.

Very careful observation is necessary to tell with any authority the age of eagles unless you have birds to see and time to see them perched and in flight.

Juvenile birds (first year) are very dark brown above. The wing linings are dark on the outer feathers and white next the body.

The dark bill appears large compared to the size of the head.

Second-year birds show a great deal of white on the wing linings, belly, chest and back; otherwise they are dark brown.

Third-year birds retain white feathers throughout their plumage especially on the head throat and back. They show a very dark eyestripe and some yellow on the large bill.

She noted that Walback still participates, and is active in many branch functions.

“Comrade Greg has served on the branch executive as executive member, and first, second and third vice (president).

“He has been a president, and due to unforeseen circumstances of the elected president at the time, he has been interim branch president,” Babcock added.

But Pembroke forced a deciding game on the strength of a 4-1 win at home March 26.

Brandon Nykyforak scored for the Renfrew side while Jacob Miller was between the pipes for the Peewee Timberwolves.

However, the Peewee

Wolves were ready for the challenge in game three.

After a trade-off of goals, Carter Bleeks put the Wolves in front to stay four minutes into the second period.

Jared Burnette added a powerplay tally, and Reid Barber a third-period marker to ice the verdict for Renfrew.

Braedon Reinert scored in the first period for the Wolves.

Goaltender Luke Moran turned aside 22 Pembroke shots.

Itʼs the second consecutive year that the Peewee Wolves captured the UOVHL crown.

Wild year at curling rink Andy Sklepowicz Behind the Glass

The wild, exhausting, and many times, heart-breaking ďŹ nish to the curling season is an experience that is difďŹ cult to put into words.

And, so, being a former math teacher I will try to put it into its purest form, numbers: 19 games in 10 days; three games in one day - three times, twice in a row; losing a game up four in end eight; blowing a ďŹ ve-point lead after end three; three games going into extra ends with hammer - one win, one wallet forgotten at the RA followed by one sleepless night followed by facing the No. 2-ranked skip in Ontario, followed by one broom left in Kemptville, followed by one recovered wallet...

PETER CLARK/METROLAND

The Renfrew Minor Hockey Association elected its executive for the 2013-14 hockey season at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre March 24.

In front row, from left are Helen Pearse, Mandy Dowd, Kim Greer, A.J. White and Ryan Bleeks; and standing, Paul Simard, Randy Pender, Neil MacAskill, Steve Leclerc, Sandy McGarry, Jeff Rekowski, Derek Scheuneman and Bryan Schutt.

Home and away sets were also purchased for competitive teams from novice through to minor midget, for a total of 10 sets.

There is also some used equipment donated to the RMHA for next year, Schutt added.

Neil MacAskill reminded all that for risk and safety, all volunteers must have a criminal record check on file for Renfrew minor hockey.

“If you applied for a criminal record check in the last year and a half, you are probably still good for next year. But anything longer, than that, please apply for another one,” MacAskill said.

RMHA volunteers can call MacAskill for more information.

Proceeds from Nevada tickets at OʼBrien Road go to Renfrew minor hockey, MacAskill added of fundraising efforts.

Cathy Mitchell thanked all the coaches for their support of the initiation and novice house programs.

“Our IP fun day had 14 teams, including our three teams.” Mitchell said. The association also hosted a successful IP Timbit Jamboree and novice house tournament with eight teams participating.

Referee-in-chief Paul Simard noted that they had 23 officials this past

year. They need one or two more for this season. The age to referee may go up from 12 to 13 Simard said.

Three rep teams made their league finals, Bob Dillabough noted.

“Iʼd like to thank all the coaches and managers. Anyone involved in this knows how tough of a job it is.”

The meeting drew 91 people, and all had an opportunity to get involved in the process as six executive positions came down to a vote.

In one case, a second vote was required to break a tie.

The 2013-14 RMHA executive consists of: • President: Kim Greer; • Vice-president: Derek Scheunemanʼ • Past-president: Steve Leclerc; • Registrar: Bryan Schutt; • Treasurer: To be appointed; • Secretary: Helen Pearse; • Intermediate house convenor: Sandy McGarry; • Senior house convenor: Neil MacAskill; • Junior house convenor: Jason Spencer; • Ice allocater: Randy Pender; • Referee-in-chief: Paul Simard; • Equipment manager: Ryan Bleeks; • Fundraising co-ordinator: Mandy Dowd; • Statistician: Jeff Rekowski.

The final games of Low Cup action were quite anticlimactic as the chances of catching Pembroke were similar to the Leafsʼ chances of ever winning another Lord Stanley.

PRIDE PREVAILS

But with pride on the line the Renfrew lads hit the road to Pembroke to face Arnprior and came away with four strong games.

Both the Dave Eady team, with Jim Berg, Andy Sklepowicz and Larry Visneskie, and the Rob Warren rink, with Don Rouble, Ed Hanson and Bernie Leclaire curled well and won their games only to be matched by Pembroke for their well deserved Cup win.

In senior menʼs playoffs Rob Warren, Andy Humphries, Phil Eaton and Jim Harbord, with super spares Karl Mann and Yvonne Sklepowicz helping, came up the B side to challenge A side winners Dave Eady, Dwight Hayward, Dave Anderson and Larry Visneskie.

But a last rock bump takeout by Dave Eady captured the championship and the Harold Eady Trophy. I can hear Haroldʼs words now when Dave tells him. “What took you so long?”

CROZIER TROPHY

The senior menʼs overall points leader and the Al Crozier trophy winner was Rob Warren.

Bernie Leclaire, Larry Visneskie and Al Watson all tied for second.

In Monday night playoffs the teams of Andy Miller, Rob Warren and Ed Lepack ended up atop the A side with a single loss and only by using ends won and points scored was Edʼs team of Don Lowe, Sheldon Stewart and George Burton declared the winning rink.

The undefeated team of Barry Griese, Dan Visutski, Karen Griese and Bernie Leclaire won B honours.

The team of Yvonne Sklepowicz, with Laurie Millar, Mary-Lise Rowat and Nancy Connors took the C.

Mark Valliquetteʼs goal midway through the second period proved to be the difference as three-time defending champion McGrimmon Holdings opened the 2013 Renfrew Menʼs Hockey League final with a 2-1 win over Renfrew Pizzeria Thursday night.

Valliquette beat Pizzeria netminder Jon Rousselle on a dart from the right-wing face off circle to snap a 1-1 deadlock. The goal came about five minutes after Eric Loganʼs marker 40 seconds into the middle period had pulled the pizza shop even.

Darren Chaplin opened the gameʼs scoring with a first-period goal.

Pizzeria had an opportunity to gain even ground late in the third period, but was unable to capitalize on the gameʼs only powerplay.

McGrimmon goaltender Steve Bowes blocked 21 shots in the victory. Rousselle made 19 saves.

Game 2 of the best-of-five final was played Tuesday. Game 3 is tonight (Thursday) at 8:30 p.m.

Kim Greer will take over the reins as Renfrew Minor Hockey Association president for the 2013-14 hockey season. Greer earned the associationʼs top position in a vote over four others at the annual general meeting held March 24 at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

Out-going president Steve Leclerc, who took over duties midway through the past season, thanked the executive for keeping things going throughout the past season.

“We had six teams in the finals,” Leclerc said of the action on the ice.

“All you people have done a lot of work to get the kids on the ice, and thatʼs what we are here for.”

Treasurer A.J. White said 282 kids originally signed up for the 2012-13 season, but 21 quit, four transferred to other associations, four went to the Titans and 13 played for the Aces, leaving a final registration of 242 kids.

Ninety-nine children registered Monday night White said.

“IP had 17, novice had 20, atom 26, peewee 22, bantam 11, midget three.”

Ice allocater Randy Pender, an entry in Kraftʼs Hockey Goes On contest, thanked everyone for their support.

“Iʼd just like to thank everybody for their votes, and their kind words.

Hopefully we can do something amazing for minor hockey.

Pender also thanked Joel McCrea for writing the story on him for the Kraft Hockey Goes On contest.

Pender added that minor hockey has used 850 hours of ice time.

Executive member Sandy McGarry noted that two goaltender clinics were held over the past year.

The first drew 11 kids and the second five kids on a poor weather day.

“We were able to offer a Hockey Canada skills camp for our atom and peewee kids this year. We had 56 kids registered out of our organization,” McGarry said. The association also held a coaches development clinic.

Bryan Schutt noted that a number of new uniforms were purchased.

HERITAGE

Connected to your community

Last week, the marquee at Renfrew’s O’Brien Theatre was taken down and replaced with a digital. A crew from Krueger Signs of Cobden performed the surgery of bringing the old marquee down, and putting the new one up.

Owner Murray Adolph, who took over the O’Brien Theatre in 1994, said there has been a number of stages in the theatre over the years.

He said asking young people to climb the ladder and do the job manually was becoming a safety issue for themselves and the public. The O’Brien Theatre was built in 1929.

This photo, given to O’Brien Theatre owner Murray Adolph from the 1950s shows a school crowd of 500 or 600 people, both in the main theatre and in the upstairs balcony.

STREET LETTER BOXES: This week postmaster Wright received notification from the P.O. Department at Ottawa that the contract for the street letter boxes service – that is of collecting the mail matter from the street boxes – had been awarded to Mr. M.J. McVeigh, liveryman, and that the erecting of the boxes at the allotted places was to be undertaken as quickly as possible. The location of these boxes is to be as follows: Stewart and Arthur; Lisgar and German; Main and Munro; Arnprior and Parry Sound; Xavier and Railway; Hall and Barr; Horton and Pine; Coumbes and Main; and OʼGorman and Main.

THE ORIGIN OF THE PEOPLE OF RENFREW COUNTY: Bulletin XIII of the Fifth Census of Canada deals with the origins of the people of the different counties and ridings. In North Renfrew, 2, 161 are of English origin; 9,069 Irish; 2,076 Scottish, 15 of other Britain origin; 2,958 French; 5,874 German; 77 Austro Hungarian; 10 Belgian; 9 Chinese; 6 Dutch; 191 Indian; 23 Italian; 31 Jewish; 49 Polish; 1 Russian; 73 Scandinavian; 20 Swiss; and 67 unspecified. In South Renfrew there are 2,512 English; 9,395 Irish; 5,520 Scotch; 27 other British; 1,149 French; 3,606 German; 77 Austro Hungarian; 8 Belgian; 1 Bulgarian; 10 Chinese; 22 Dutch; 6 Greek; 33 Indian; 13 Italian; 41 Jewish; 3 Negro; 3,358 Polish; 10 Russian; 30 Scandinavian; and 20 unspecified.

IN RENFREW: In Renfrew an effort is now made to revive interest in chess, that game of ancient and obscure origin. At the home of Mr. R.F. Fraser a few evenings ago, there assembled men such as H.A. Jordan, H.R. Hinchley, A.W. OʼConnor, M.T. Duggan, A. Cuff, John Ferguson, H. Rush, Gordon Adams, Rev. Gravelle and Fred A. Wade. The host is also a player, but he allowed his 10 visitors to occupy the tables and a very enjoyable time was had. A number of years ago more or less chess was played in Renfrew, but of late it has been overshadowed by bridge.

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY HAS HANDBOOK OUT: The annual handbook of the Renfrew Horticultural Society for ʼ38 is now printed and in circulation. It is a pamphlet of 24 pages, whose subscription is “Beautify Renfrew,” a sentiment to which all citizens can subscribe. The book carries the names of officers and members, rules and regulations, also the prize list, as well as may announcements by business men of the town.

President of the society is Mr. K.S. Russell, secretary is Miss Mabel Stewart, and there is a strong board of directors, some of them men, some of them women, and all enthusiastic.

PLAYTEX COMPANY: Representatives of the Playtex

plant in Arnprior refused to comment on rumours that the company is considering opening a plant in Renfrew. When contacted by The Renfrew Mercury, the general manager of the plant said the company wishes to make no comment at this time. It has been rumoured that Playtex is considering locating in one of the existing vacant plants in Renfrew.

Renfrew Industrial Commissioner Robert Thompson said that while he had been in contact with Playtex, he couldnʼt say that this means that the company would be coming to town. “Iʼve answered questions for them over the past year, but then Iʼve answered questions for dozens of companies,” he said. He noted that the rumours may have started from a speculative approval to the town by the company, where they may be consulting a move to Renfrew as only one of many options.

MILL STILL GOING STRONG: Hansen Woollen Mills have removed several pieces of equipment from their Stewart Street mill, but the plant is still going strong.

David Mee said that the equipment removed was from a division of the plant closed last October. The equipment has now been sold and is being moved to the United States.

The plant now is concentrating on woolen spun yarns, which are keeping us quite busy now, according to Mr. Mee. For help with research, email olewis@sympatico.ca

Former chief Sayers thanks department Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

personal projects that intrigue me. For example, I have always wondered why the Province recognizes that ambulance and police service need Provincial support and substantial funding, and yet the third emergency service â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ďŹ re â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is 100 per cent funded at the municipal level.â&#x20AC;?

Sayers is very interested in making the beneďŹ t of having volunteer ďŹ re departments more visible to ratepayers. She suggests people call their insurance company and ask them what their premium would be if local volunteer ďŹ re departments didnĘźt exist.

Leave information at sayers.recovery@sympatico.ca or 613-333-9933. â&#x20AC;&#x153;IĘźd love to get enough information to write a special report to help our local councils and their ďŹ re departments in their public education efforts.â&#x20AC;?

Betsy Sayers, who stepped down last month as ďŹ re chief for Greater Madawaska, said her time as chief was terriďŹ c.

She called it the highlight of her career in emergency management. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have learned so very much from these dedicated volunteers, their wives and the other chiefs in Renfrew County that I canĘźt even begin to give credit to them with mere words. Now it is time for someone else to take over the reins of leadership â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they are very lucky to lead this team.â&#x20AC;?

Snow plowing improves At Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoeʼs request, there has been marked improvement in the plowing of county roads in Admaston-Bromley.

There is a new meals program for seniors and adults with disabilities in the Township of Greater Madawaska.

The Calabogie and Area Home Support Program is offering a frozen meals program. This program has been very successful throughout Renfrew County.

Twenty-five main dishes are available using traditional recipes we know you will love.

These home-style meals can be heated in your regular oven or microwave and are available for $5 each.

Good nutrition is so important to maintaining strength and good health, and to helping seniors and disabled individuals maintain their independence and remain living in their own homes and communities.

It is often difficult for individuals to ensure their meals are nutritious and healthy.

In addition many individuals are on special diets which make meal planning and preparation even more difficult.

Calabogie and Area Home Supportʼs Frozen Meals program uses meals prepared by Apetito, based in Brampton.

These products generally have more protein and vitamins with controlled levels of sodium and less fat than other commonly available prepared frozen meals.

They also offer pureed, minced and special diet meals for individuals with special dietary needs, including diabetic, low sodium, vegetarian and even gluten-free meals.

They are committed to providing the best tasting foods with the right nutrition, frozen for freshness, and will not compromise on the ingredients used to achieve full, fresh, home cooked flavours.

Call Calabogie and Area Home Support at 613-752-2828 today to purchase meal or for more information on the frozen meals program.

“Weʼve actually moved our plow run up in the morning by a half an hour so we are ahead of the traffic. A lot of the traffic on Haley Road in the morning heads towards the Haley plants,” he said.

“Thank you everyone for your generosity in supporting a much-needed community service,” Cove said.

She also thanked the vendors.

“We had a wonderful group with lots of variety and things to share and learn about. Iʼm excited that many of you will be joining us for the three fu-

ture events we have coming up for 2013,” she said.

She also thanked vendors who donated door prizes, and the team of volunteers behind the event. “Without you, it wouldnʼt have run so smoothly. Thank you, Rachel Carl, Shawna English and Brandon McDonald. You all made the event run so much smoother,” Cove said.

She said it was her sincere hope that everyone who attended “had a great time, forged some new friendships, enjoyed shopping and learned about all the various products and services that are available in your communities.”

The Renfrew Mercury EMC - Thursday, April 4, 2013 29

ADMASTON-BROMLEY

Connected to your community

Trade show expected to be big boost to county Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com

prior to the trade show. MacKenzie was a director of AORS. The tournament in his memory has carried on since 1994, Boland said.

FARM NOT COMING TO TOWN

Council received correspondence from Angela Field, coordinator of Farm Comes to Town. The annual event is usually held in early April at the Renfrew Armouries.

However, because of the staggered bells system implemented by schools in Renfrew County, the event, which teaches Grade 5 students various aspects of farming, has been cancelled this year.

“It just doesnʼt work to get people there early enough in the morning and then back in the afternoon to meet their buses,” Coun. Ray Pender said.

However, the Renfrew and Area Chamber of Commerce, who is sponsoring Taste of the Valley Saturday, Sept. 21 at the fairgrounds, would like to see Farm Comes to Town as a part of its event.

“They would set up different groups of information – honey bees, pork, dairy, beef and poul-

try,” Coun. Pender said.

Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe said it would be great to see Farm Comes to Town at Taste of the Valley.

“Kids love animals, and Saturday is a family time and Taste of the Valley is family,” she said.

“They are also having a horse show there too, that day,” Coun.

Pender said.

Farm Comes to Town could be held in the large barn at the bottom end of the fairgrounds, he added.

“Thatʼs good news. Thatʼs a good plan,” the mayor said.

TRAFFIC OFFENCES

Mayor Briscoe has noted that Renfrew County has lost millions of dollars in unpaid traffic tickets over the years.

That may be about to change.

The first reading of the bill to recover past due fines has taken place.

“As soon as that third reading comes and it is approved and signed by the Lieut. Governor, I know Renfrew County will be right at the collection,” the mayor said. “This has been a long time coming,”

Theyʼre back.

For the first time since 1992, the Renfrew County Road Supervisors Association (RCRSA) will host the Association of Ontario Road Supervisors (AORS) Municipal Public Works Trade Show.

The two-day event will take place in Arnprior at the Nick Smith Centre and Arnprior Fairgrounds June 4 and 5, 2014.

Chairperson Steve Boland and AORS representative Gerry Haley attended Admaston-Bromley council March 21 to share information on next yearʼs event.

Boland said itʼll be the most exciting event to happen in Renfrew County since Expo 150.

“We hope we are able to exceed what has happened in the past at previous trade shows and that we will be able to draw in excess of 2,000 visitors to the area over the two days of the show, and somewhere between 200 and 250 exhibitors for the show as well,” Boland said.

“We want to make this more than just a trade show that focuses on municipal public

works. We want to take this as an opportunity to promote all the things that we enjoy in Renfrew County from an economic development and a tourism prospective.

Boland hopes people who visit the trade show will spend some extra time here, and maybe even come back and visit.

“Maybe, if we are really lucky, one of the industries, or one of the businesses that is here as an exhibitor, will see what we have to offer, and choose to relocate or set up part of their business in the county as well.

“We are trying to promote it as an opportunity for the county and for the municipalities,” he said.

Renfrew County public works staff is encouraged to get involved, Boland said.

A magazine is also being produced to promote the county as a whole. Copies will be available at this yearʼs show in Brantford, where Renfrew County will operate a booth to promote next yearʼs event.

Interested parties can also participate in the annual Ross MacKenzie Memorial Golf Tournament next year in Arnprior. It takes place on the Tuesday

(3"/% 306/%4 Renfrew County Addiction Treatment Services (ATS) is expanding its team to now offer specialized care and counselling for a new opioid community treatment program.

ATS, which is sponsored by RVH, currently provides county-wide assistance to individuals 12 years or older who are experiencing problems with alcohol, drugs or gambling.

Kim MacLeod, Director of ATS, says in the past five years or so they have seen a steady increase in individuals presenting with addictions to synthetic narcotics like oxycontin, and prescription medications like morphine and codeine. These types of highly addictive drugs are all categorized as opioids.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, between 1991 and 2009, prescriptions for oxycodone-containing products in the province rose by an astounding 900 per cent.

The Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) recently approved funding to support investments in opioid community treatment services across Renfrew County.

“ATS is very pleased to have received funding from the LHIN to hire a full-time Opioid Community Case Manager. In hiring Janice Poirier for the position, we are fortunate to have someone with such a wealth of knowledge and experience to lead this initiative,” comments MacLeod. It is only a few weeks into the program and Poirier is already working with clients.

“The opioid treatment program is a wonderful addition to the range of services offered by our ATS staff,” says Julia Boudreau, RVH Vice-President of Corporate Services, “We welcome Janice to the team.”

Poirier is no stranger to the professionals at ATS and joins the team with an extensive background in helping people navigate addiction treatment at the Royal Ottawa Hospital, where she held an outreach position within Renfrew County and she is currently working with the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health providing education and workshops with the Opiate Initiative.

Since this is a new program, Poirier has been responsible for the organization and development of the service. She looks

forward to liaising with other community A major component to their care is the agencies across the county to provide easy counselling, she adds. “It’s a welcoming access to treatment solutions for individuals. and non-judgemental environment,” where “The most important thing with this together, they work through any underlying program is easy access—we need to meet issues related to the addiction. “I’m here to see the client through the entire process.” these individuals in their own community,” Poirier points out, which means Clients also benefit from the strong working partnerships between ATS and the she will be available at ATS office locations in Deep River, Pembroke, Eganville, Royal Ottawa Hospital’s Early Intervention Arnprior, Barry’s Bay and in Renfrew.

Recall to mind the way she spoke, And all the things she said Her strength, her courage, Her caring soul, Remember these instead.

The good advice she gave us, Her eyes that shone with laughter, So much of her will never die, But live on ever after.

As we loved you, so we miss you, In our memory you are near, Loved, remembered, longed for always, Bring many a silent tear.

God knows you had to leave us, But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, the day He took you home.

To some you are forgotten, To others just part of the past, But to us who loved and lost you, The memory will always last.

TENHOEVE, JACK

Arnold (Ivan)

Always in our thoughts and prayers, Carl, Bev, Bonnie, Neil and Abby

Lovingly remembered by your daughters Carol, Glenna, Judy and families

We little knew that morning God was going to call your name.

In life we loved you dearly In death we do the same It broke our hearts to lose you You did not go alone For part of us went with you The day God called you home You left us beautiful memories.

Your love is still our guide And though we cannot see You, you are always by our side Our family chain is broken And nothing seems the same But as God called us one by one The chain will link again Mom, Dad, Ken, Kim, and Penny.

PEARSON, In loving memory of

In loving memory

CLR425284

If I could have a lifetime wish, A dream that would come true, I’d pray to God with all my heart, For yesterday and you.

A thousand words can’t bring you back, I know because I’ve tried, And neither will a million tears, I know because I’ve cried.

You left behind my broken heart, And happy memories too, I never wanted memories, I only wanted you.

Till we meet again, I’ll always love you.

Those we hold most dear never truly leave us.

He lived in the kindness he showed.

The comfort he shared and the love he brought into our lives.

In loving memory of our son who we grieve day and night.

Until we meet again.

There was magic in Granny’s touch, and sunshine in her smile.

There was love in everything she did to make our lives worthwhile.

We found both hope and courage just by looking in her eyes.

Her laughter was a source of joy, her words warm and wise.

There was a kindness and compassion found in her embrace, And shining down from Heaven above we see the glow of Granny’s face. ~ Author Unknown ~
