a82023a4-1b2e-4ced-afcf-9377e27adef4 OUR DJs < Back Art Jamieson Known to many as “Mr. Ottawa Valley,” Art is not a full-time host at Valley Heritage Radio, but he is the man behind the microphone for each of our on-air fundraisers. He is the first person we call when we’re holding a Radiothon, and we work out calendar around his availability – because he’s just that good! Through the years, Art has helped to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for worthwhile causes across the Valley, including many here at VHR. He gets the phones ringing and has a way of connecting to the people of the Ottawa Valley like no one else. An educator most of his professional life, Art has also been a municipal politician and a travel agent who whisks people from the Valley to all corners of the globe. For almost four decades he has been the MC at the Pembroke Old Time Fiddle and Step Dance competitions, and for as long as anyone can remember, he’s entertained people with his musical abilities and his sense of humour. When he’s not helping others, he and his wife Dot love to spend time with their kids and grandkids in the bustling metropolis of Beachburg. Previous Next

db2c3766-13e4-4029-a1f0-642fbfb49139 OUR DJs < Back Sheila Vandekemp I was born in Apple Hill, Ontario (Glengarry County), and grew up with 6 brothers and 2 sisters. Marriage brought me to Renfrew County in the 1960s. First to Beachburg and then in 1985 to a dairy farm in the Barr Line area between Cobden and Douglas. We presently farm with our son Scott. I have served as president of the Renfrew County Holstein Club and sat on numerous committees within the community. I volunteer for the Cancer Society and at a local retirement home. I have always had a love for country music. Many of my relatives had musical talents, but that gene escaped me! But I did learn to step dance. I started as a volunteer receptionist at Valley Heritage Radio, and I’d always dreamed of becoming a DJ, so when the opportunity came along, I took the plunge. It was a huge learning curve (I am still learning) but no regrets. I am grateful to Valley Heritage Radio for allowing me this opportunity to fulfil a dream. It is a pleasure and privilege to share country music with our listeners. Program The Sheila Show Sheila Vandekemp is the host of The Sheila Show heard every Sunday morning from 7 to 10 a.m. Sheila showcases country artists, mostly from the 1950s. Every now and then you will hear a waltz, a bluegrass tune and maybe a surprise song. And, as one of the biggest Merle Haggard fans on the planet, Sheila may even spin a Merle tune from time to time.
