e0dd6549-31b4-4eac-b9b0-50ece51a40a6 OUR DJs < Back Andrew Cartwright I'm very fortunate to be one of the few people who can say "I love my job." Radio has always been a part of my life. Whether it was sitting in the kitchen as a toddler, watching my mom sing along to Neil Diamond, or my father enjoying big band music. I loved the emotion it could elicit from people. I was fascinated how a certain announcer or song could make someone focus completely on this little box emitting sounds. I never thought I'd have a career in the industry though, because I hadn't the faintest idea of how to get the ball rolling. Prior to radio I worked in a warehouse, where I'd make announcements over the intercom. Birthdays, well wishes, that kind of thing. I figured that would be as close as I'd ever get to hearing myself in a broadcasting capacity. It's funny how life works because in the same week, two people came up to me and said I should work for a radio station. As fate would have it, an ad in the paper for a radio school in Montreal popped up that same week. It caught my attention, and the rest is history. I've since worked at multi-cultural stations, news stations and on the reserve in Kahnawake. In 2011 I made a decision that would change my life forever. I decided to move away from home (out of province in fact) to work for Valley Heritage Radio. It’s been the best decision I've ever made. Since then my family has joined me up here and we had our first child. Little Man, as I call him. I love this area. The people are inspirational in the way they care about their neighborus and the community. I couldn't ask for a better place to now call home. Join me Monday through Friday from 6 to 11 a.m. and you’ll hear "Headlines making Headlines" at 8:40, my "Joke of the Day" at 7:07, "Birthdays, Anniversaries and New Arrivals" at 7:20 and 8:20 and our "Animal of the Week" Thursday's at 9:40. P.S. Apologies for the "Dad" jokes that cause eye rolls and groans at 7:07 every morning Program The Morning Show Catch Andrew Cartwright on the Morning Show Monday to Friday from 6 to 11:30 a.m. for great tunes, bad jokes, and that laugh. Ohhh, that laugh. Watch for his regular features including hear "Headlines making Headlines" at 8:40, his "Joke of the Day" at 7:07, "Birthdays, Anniversaries and New Arrivals" at 7:20 and 8:20 and our "Animal of the Week" Thursdays at 9:40. And did we mention that Andrew is a champion chili chef? And he has a brown belt? Did you know he survived a run-in with a women’s roller derby team? And almost killed Dai Bassett with a jellybean? See … we told you … don’t miss the Morning Show. Previous Next

0c450ecf-66cc-4f21-8cb9-760ed99e5de9 OUR DJs < Back Bill Craig I got to know the Lord Jesus Christ late in life. I found I couldn’t keep this treasure a secret: how beautiful it is to know Jesus Christ personally. I am not a preacher; I refer to myself as a reacher; reaching out to people, giving them good news and hope. As I was saved through listening to radio it only seems natural to give back some of the blessing I have received. I am also thankful to Valley Heritage Radio for providing their air time every week where I get to share Jesus with you, dear listener friend. The good Lord has given me a gift to select songs for the program that dove-tail the stories and scriptures together. In these uncertain times we live in we certainly need encouragement; and not only encouragement, but we need to be challenged. I find the challenge is as much for me as it is for you, dear listener friend. I live on an old farm, near Cobden with my wife Heather. We call our farm HIA Farm, the “HIA” stands for Hope Is Alive in the person of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. HIA Farm has a mini-pioneer village complete with mini-horses, Barnabas and Joseph. Don’t hesitate to contact me at sundaypraise@aol.com regarding Sunday Praise on Valley Heritage Radio. Program Previous Next

Board Members < Back < Back Mary Etmanski Director Since the age of 16 Mary’s motto has been ‘Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life’. When she was four she started her journey singing and gained substantial experience in the music industry and theatre with her stage performances. For many years she organized, produced and/or directed numerous music shows and youth choirs while at the same time enjoying sports. Mary, valley-born on a farm in Northcote is married to her best friend Mike Etmanski who together are very proud of their ‘kids’ and their grandkids! Life has not always been easy but never too much to knock her off her game. Always looking for new learning experiences, a variety of employment opportunities and being an owner of a small business has helped her with her numerous projects. She is no stranger to Boards and Committees and is privileged to be granted the opportunity to sit on the Board of Directors of Valley Heritage Radio. With her history in business, fundraising, theatre and country music she will add her resourcefulness and energy to the existing team at the station.

Board Members < Back < Back Mackie McLaren Treasurer Mackie retired from his position as the CAO/Clerk for the Township of Horton in 2016, and the Township’s loss was our gain. After 27 years at the helm of the Township, Mackie joined our Board of Directors and was appointed Treasurer for the station. His experience and guidance has contributed greatly to the success of Valley Heritage Radio in recent years. His passion for volunteering and helping out in the community were a perfect fit here at VHR, and his love for the Ottawa Valley is evident. Mackie and his wife Joanne live in Renfrew.
