HOSPITAL LEADERS SUPPORT PEOPLE'S HEALTH CARE ACT DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@ metroland.com Advocacy groups are sounding the alarm over the Doug Ford government's health care changes, but hospital leaders in Renfrew and Arnprior are optimistic with the direction taken by the Ministry of Health.

Minister Christine Elliott announced the creation of a superagency to replace the 14 Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs), along with merging six provincial health agencies, including Cancer Care Ontario and eHealth Ontario. Over the course of a few years, the People's Health Care Act will mean a complete overhaul the health bureaucracy.

The "integrated care entities," according to Elliott, will produce 30 to 50 Ontario Health Teams of local health-care providers to "guide patients" through

Funding for teams, each of which would be responsible for about 300,000 people (geography will be considered), would be in blocks. Physician teams will continue to operate as per usual.

the local say over our health care."

Randy Penney is president and CEO of Barry's Bay and Renfrew's hospitals. He isn't worried about losing power.

"I'm really quite excited about it," he said. "I think it's overdue and has the potential to improve services."

It is too soon to paint a picture of this region's new health team, he said, but integration is a strategy that's been employed at Renfrew Victoria and St. Francis Memorial hospitals for some 20 years. Administration costs are reduced and put back into patient care by having one CEO, for instance. When other positions are vacated, sometimes they can be eliminated to save more

ARH/Submitted Advocacy groups are sounding the alarm over the Doug Ford government’s health care changes, but hospital leaders in Renfrew and Arnprior are optimistic with the direction taken by the Ministry of Health.

"This legislation neither directs the health system to meet the population's need for care, nor does it improve any single service. It opens no new hospital beds. It does not make more surgeries happen. It does not provide a single new unit of mental health services, or home care or

any other kind of care," Natalie Mehra said in a press release issued by the coalition. "It is all about new powers for certain people at the expense of the smaller or even medium-sized services, the care workers who will suffer years of upheaval, the communitybased organizations, and

His colleague at Arnprior Regional Health (including a hospital and nursing home) is Eric Hanna. He goes one step further on the specter of job cuts: the health sector will only grow, given the aging population.

"I don't see that happening," Hanna said. "In my experience, integration tends to show a lot of unmet needs. Where there's duplication there are gaps in needs. So it's about a reallocation of resources."

Hanna said the planning and discussions that led to the People's Health Care Act reach back to when the Liberals were in power. He expects the current government to follow evidence-based solutions that are not ideologically driven.

RENFREW COUNTY'S HERBFEST DEMANDS NOT TO M/B'S TASTE JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com Thanks but no thanks.

After a year in which the Herbfest celebration at Waba Cottage and Gardens was linked with the County of Renfrew's Taste of the Valley series, McNab/ Braeside is taking back the event.

Citing unacceptable conditions demanded by the County, McNab/Braeside council has agreed with a Herbfest Organizing Committee recommendation to return to running the Herbfest as a "unique" township event independent of Taste of the Valley guidelines.

The committee is also considering proposing a name change for the event to signify its expanded scope.

The annual celebration of herbs and healthy living on the last Sunday of July has been held in White Lake for the past three years after 20-plus years at

the Herb Garden outside Almonte. Last year's partnership making it a Taste of the Valley event had been called a "win-win" for both the township and the county.

However, in discussing this year's event, the Herbfest committee agreed the "many changes" proposed by the county are not acceptable.

Recreation director Geoff Patterson reported the county made it clear it would have to control finances and all social media relating to the event if Herbfest is to be part of the Taste of the Valley series.

The county's social media control was frustrating "at times" for the local organizers last year as they tried to promote the event, the committee was told.

The financial control would mean the county would set vendor prices, not allow for a charity rate and only permit countyproduced products to be sold, Patterson said. Herb-

Metroland file photo McNab/Braeside is returning the annual Herbfest now held at White Lake back to an independent event unconnected to Renfrew County's Taste of the Valley after the county instituted a new set of guidelines that would ban venders, such as the Herb Garden, which founded the event. fest has traditionally included many vendors from the Ottawa and Lanark County areas as well booths set up by non-profit groups.

The committee was in support of allowing their participation, keeping vendor rental rates the same as last year and continuing to offer early bird incentives.

Make sure to get your issue of the Spring/Summer Arnprior Life Recreation Guide inserted in this week’s paper!

In its motion Feb. 19 endorsing the committee's stand, McNab/Braeside council agreed to re-establish the same rates for vendors and continue admission by optional donation at the gate.

Patterson said the county's rules also ban alcohol sales, sports-oriented demonstrations and pyramid

sales businesses. He noted the beer garden sponsored

by Calabogie and Whitewater brewing companies provided "significant revenue" last year and the two are willing to return.

After reviewing the new guidelines, the Herbfest committee decided its only option would be to "return to an independent event" as

Herbfest was prior to 2018.

A motion moved by Monique Keenleyside and seconded by Teresa Bahm was passed to that effect.

The Herbfest committee also recommended some "minor tweaking" for the event in the areas of parking, music, presenters, emcee's duties, and layout, including porta-potty locations. It suggested the beer garden be relocated and its fencing altered.

The committee agreed traffic flow and on-site communication needs to be improved.

It also suggested more fresh produce and herb greenery be made available to patrons with the help of Burnstown Friday Market vendors. As well, adding more water-based activities to make better use of the proximity to White Lake was discussed.

Patterson raised the possibility of a name change, noting 'Herbfest' might be limiting people's perception of the event. After considerable discussion, the committee decided it would revisit the issue at its March meeting.

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

HORSES HELP KEEP ARNPRIOR FOREST WORK LOW IMPACT

BROKEN SIGN ON HWY. 417

SHERRY HAAIMA sherr y.haaima@metroland.com When Karen Gillies was considering options for maintenance on the bush area adjacent to her historic family home on Madawaska Boulevard she came across the idea of horse logging.

Enter Bryn Lesway of McNab/Braeside, who in January started working on the property at the corner of Madawaska and Decosta Street to thin out the forested lot.

Lesway, who is a carpenter and farmer in the summer months, has been logging with horses on and off for years.

What are the benefits?

"There's very low impact when you use horses, you don't have to cut your trails as big and if you want to do really tight work, you can separate them and use a single horse," said Lesway. "Another benefit is there's not as much overhead with horses you don't have a great big payment on a machine."

There's just something about the process that appeals to him. Much of his knowledge came from former Arnpriorite and horse logger Greg Kelly.

"I enjoy horses and I enjoy the work," he said, adding the horses seem to like work-

Commuters from Arnprior to Ottawa have likely noticed the large green exit sign for Kinburn Side Road has been down for some time. A Metroland Media call to the Ontario Ministry of Transportation revealed a plan to replace it in the coming days.

Sherry Haaima/Metroland Arnprior Mayor Walter Stack, left, joins property owner Karen Gillies, horse logger Bryn Lesway and Belgian horses Marv and Tilly. ing as well. "It's cool to see what they'll do for you and how much they respect you.

The more you respect them, the more they respect you."

This particular project will benefit the existing forest.

"We're thinning out the majority of the bigger trees that should have been cut maybe 30 years ago - it doesn't benefit a bush when you leave them that long. It drains all the nutrients," said Lesway.

On Feb. 27 Arnprior Mayor Walter Stack and his wife Barbara joined Gillies and Dave Russett to check out the operations.

• The sign most recently blew over on Jan. 10. The same sign had been damaged during the tornado on Sept. 21. It was repaired on Oct. 20. High winds are generally the cause. These signs are designed to trip in high winds or when hit to reduce the damage to the structural integrity of the sign.

• The contractor responsible for repairing this sign has encountered a number of challenges, including access to the sign location because of the excessive snowfall this winter. The winter weather also forced the contractor to re-schedule a number of projects, which has an impact on availability. As well, the ministry also looks at co-ordinating repairs at multiple locations if possible, in an effort to reduce costs and impacts to traffic.

• The cost of a sign varies greatly depending on the size, the type of support structure, type of traffic control needed during installation, location and type of highway.

Smaller ones are between $1,000 and $2,500 each; larger $6,500 to $18,000; overhead signs can cost between $200,000 to $300,000.

FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE WHEN CHANGING HEALTH CARE The PC government of Ontario has proven time and again that it will blindly follow ideology and feed a narrow base over the common good. But with the recently announced changes to the province's $60-billion health care system, the Progressive Conservatives show they are willing to risk the optics and listen to apolitical experts.

They should continue to follow evidence and best practices when it comes to the most controversial elements of the system: privatization.

Premier Doug Ford made it clear that health care along with job creation and a balanced budget - is a top priority. However, when considering the approach in other major areas such as education, instead of a modern sex-ed curriculum that recognized internet dangers and LGBTQ rights, Ford chose to pander to a minority in his base. Ontario now has a curriculum from 1998.

Another example is the cancellation of the Ontario Basic Income Pilot project. This was an idea championed by high profile - albeit moderate - conservatives such as Senator Hugh Segal. Provide the opportunity for every citizen to receive in one stream all their payouts from government. No more getting a little bit from the Canadian Pension Plan, a little bit from social services, various tax rebates. It should cut down bureaucracy. But Ford ditched the $50-million-a-year project for 4,000 low-income citizens (over three years) before any data was collected and analyzed. Social Services Minister Lisa MacLeod said it wasn't helping people become "independent contributors to the economy."

Good governance is following the evidence, not pushing it off the cliff.

Usually past behaviour is the best indicator of future directions. But the Ford government has shown a little more complexity as of late. Past conservative governments at both the national and provincial levels have talked of empowering the grassroots, common man and woman. Even Ford's slogan plays to populism: A Government for the People. Yet with the People's Health Care Act, announced last week, we don't see Queen's Park relaxing its influence to allow more flexibility at disparate local levels. Before the announcement, critics must have been preparing to lambast Ford for washing his hands of Ontario's cherished health care system; of refusing to defend a crucial component of our identity.

They didn't get the chance. And they didn't because Ford went in the opposite direction. With the new superagency that will replace 14 Local Health Integration Networks, along with agencies the Ford government assumes all responsibility for the fate of Ontario's health care system. The critics have pivoted to say his government has made a power grab, that it will be Ford who appoints sycophants to the superagency to act on his whims.

That is the risky optics he chose to take on.

Ford needs to continue to follow the evidence, best practices, and continue to listen to apolitical experts in the health care system.

WHO WE ARE

LETTERS & COMMENTARY NO FRILLS DECISION ON BOXES A BACKSLIDE ON ENVIRONMENTALISM TO THE EDITOR:

Sterling's No Frills recently made the decision to stop allowing customers to use produce boxes free of charge for their groceries, citing a need for more space.

In an era where customers are clamouring for more no-waste and lowwaste options, this feels like a back slide on environmentalism. Giving customers the option to take boxes from the store helps them save money, as well as ensuring that the boxes are reused before they're recycled.

We all learned the three Rs in school: reduce, reuse, and finally recycle when items are at the end of their life. Renfrew residents rely on those boxes not only to get their groceries home for free, but also for storage, moving boxes, cat toys and shelters, craft items for their children, fire starters, and more. Keeping the boxes available helps prevent more plastic waste from entering the environment and ensures that those boxes are used to the end of their life.

Sterling's No Frills has

offered a deal on reusable plastic totes, but their most vulnerable customers, such as the poor and the elderly, are not likely to use these. Nor are they likely to purchase reusable bags at a cost of up to $4 per bag.

They'll just buy the one time-use plastic bags for convenience and keep contributing to the garbage crisis that threatens our natural world.

As a corporation, it is their responsibility to ensure that they do everything in their power to create a greener future, and that can start with something as small as recycling produce boxes.

TAUNEY STINSON RENFREW

Editor's note: Arnprior's No Frills has also made the decision to stop offering boxes to members of the public for grocery packing.

MP TOUTS DAIRY DECEPTION TO THE EDITOR:

In her blog on Jan. 25, MP Cheryl Gallant asserted, “The Canada Food Guide is not based on factual, science-based research. The new Trudeau Liberal food guide ignores a growing body of evidence that shows the importance of dairy and meat in a healthy diet.”

What “body of evidence” is she talking about? On the contrary, a 2013 paper in the Journal of the American Medical Association Pediatrics suggested that the nutritional benefits of dairy products are exaggerated.

However, it stands to reason that dairy goods could still be healthier than other competing foods for sale at the same price levels. But Gallant and most parties support the dairy monopoly called “supply management” — even as she and the dairy lobby hype up dairy nutrition, they also support a policy that makes dairy goods artificially expensive.

Imagine if fishing licenses were set at a quota, and if access to those quota was based upon ability to buy superexpensive licences or to inherit licences through birth in the right family. We would see in commercial fisheries the same price inflation and economic oligarchy that currently exists in our restricted dairy industry.

Only the People’s Party currently speaks any sense in opposing the dairy monopoly; MP Gallant is no champion of food consumers.

those down then jumped on The Bogie's nearby outdoor rink to do self-imposed suicide drills. But these days I drive a Toyota. (Good on gas, I keep telling myself.)

"What's popular?"

"The sandwiches. The chicken sandwich is good."

Marinated grilled chicken, avocado slices, spinach, brie, and cranberry mayo on a poppy seed panini. Sold. I've officially bought into the whole avocado thing.

She was right. The sandwich was moist without too much mayo. The bun soft, yet filling. A generous slab of cheese.

The Caesar salad had plenty of Parmesan, yet no bacon. The croutons were good and garlicky.

A nice kick.

I particularly enjoyed the colours: Bright pink from the cranberry contrasted nicely with the deep green spinach.

I doubt the rednecks would appreciate that clever observation, but I could be wrong.

Plenty of snow pants were ordering anything but the poutine.

I'm sure one guy had a herb tea.

Derek Dunn/Metroland Red Neck Bistro seems an unlikely spot for a nicely grilled sandwich.

The 'red' would encourage the consumption of red meat. But the 'bistro' side plays a bigger role than many may realize.

W !

NE TE DA

Ahh - rednecks. That cranky yet lovable segment of the population that welcomes stereotyping like a left elbow from GSP. Bring it on. Work hard, play hard. Rough as the rural landscape around Calabogie in winter. And traditional as a plate of meat and potatoes.

Surely that is what to expect when stopping in for a bite at the Redneck Bistro in the village of Calabogie on a sunny yet cool Saturday afternoon.

The "Red" must stand for red meat. And the "neck" is why more than a dozen snowmobiles surround three cars - my Toyota included - around the parking lot.

Pushing across the sliding glass door I wondered if pepper would be considered too spicy.

The place was packed. Lots of snow pants and pints of beer.

Laughter and friendly banter "She doesn't want that much for a tip!" - and wrestling on the TV. Steam from a coffee cup wafted through a shaft of sunlight.

Great atmosphere.

The staff is knowledgeable and no nonsense. "Get it with barbecue sauce." "Didn't know I could." "Trust me."

A seat is magically created for me near the cash register. A menu is presented and - pow, the "Bistro" shoe drops. The other, other shoe. Redneck ... Bistro.

Shrimp taco apps and Chicken Bacon Carbonara main. Salmon wellington? Under something called The Stuff Deer Eat a number of salads that could be served in a hipster Vancouver "space."

Certainly the menu contains manly dishes with pulled pork and ground bison. My stereotype was cracked, not shattered. The Calabogie Hoagie looked good.

As did the Camp Stove Creation.

IN NATURE, DEATH MEANS LIFE FOR MANY MICHAEL RUNTZ TELLS US HOW A DEER CARCASS PROVIDED HOURS OF ENTERTAINMENT MICHAEL RUNTZ Column

Death is something that we fear. When we see a dead animal, we pity it, perhaps because it reminds us of our own mortality. But in nature, death plays an important role, with many organisms benefiting from the misfortune of others. In summer, dead animals feed vultures, crows, and hordes of insects. In winter, a carcass provides sustenance to birds as small as black-capped chickadees and carnivores as large as eastern wolves.

Recently, I sat with a friend for 10 hours, hidden within sight of a dead deer, watching and photographing the patrons coming to dine. Soon after sunrise, as expected, the first to arrive

Michael Runtz photo Golden Eagles are an Endangered Species that visit our area only in winter. were common ravens, black harvesters of death that are experts at finding carcasses. Their loud, raucous screams soon attracted other ravens; 43 eventually showed up. If a territorial pair (which are now starting to nest) finds a carcass, they remain silent, keeping the feast to themselves. Young ravens loudly announce their discovery to attract other young ravens that help overwhelm a territorial pair, if present.

Additionally, the larger the group, the better the odds of meeting a future mate.

Later we heard the squeaky chattering of a bald eagle. The ravens scattered when a young eagle arrived and landed on top of the deer. Its massive beak easily tore chunks from the carcass and it gorged for some time. A few ravens returned and bravely snatched beakfuls of meat from behind the eagle's back. One tugged at the tail

feathers of the eagle, perhaps to distract it to allow other ravens to grab a bite.

Bald eagles take five years to attain their adult plumage, which consists of a white head, white tail, and dark brown wing and body feathers. Young bald eagles are dark, and commonly mistaken for golden eagles, which also boast an impressive six to seven-foot wingspan. But golden eagles have much a smaller head and bill, and sport beautiful, name-giving gold feathers on the back of their head and neck. This bald eagle had a pale face with a dark line through the eye, giving it an ospreylike look, features that revealed it to be three years old. Later, an even younger bald eagle arrived. An adult eventually came in, making short work of chasing away the youngsters.

Then came the highlight. A beautiful golden eagle arrived, scattering the ravens when it landed. It fed for a while and then a second one arrived. After a brief confrontation during which the birds' talons were briefly locked, it was displaced by the new arriv-

al.

All through the day eagles came and went. It appears that there were four golden eagles and at least that number of Balds.

Twice a hairy woodpecker landed on the deer and pecked away at the carcass, no doubt the largest piece of suet it had ever encountered!

Watching all of the antics at a deer carcass in winter is infinitely better than

going to a Hollywood blockbuster. You never fall asleep and after the end of the performance, you leave feeling enriched, not broke!

OPINION

BARRED OWL SIGHTING Reader Russ Corbett snapped this photo of one of a pair of Barred Owls sighted and heard hooting Feb. 2 in Gillies Grove. The day before, he and wife Abigail witnessed a Barred capture a squirrel.

Barred Owls nest in hollow, old-growth sugar maples and beechwood cavities in the Grove. The Audubon Society states the Barred "often shares the habitat of the Red-Shouldered Hawk." This is confirmed in Gillies Grove as both of these birds of prey have nested for many years in canopied old-growth hardwoods in the southern section of Gillies Grove.

Terrance (Terry) Orville Shane Smith

Of Bassano, Alberta passed away peacefully on February 20th surrounded by his loving family at the age of 61, after a 2-year vicious battle with cancer. Terry, the baby of the family as the 7th child, was born in Arnprior, Ontario on October 28th 1957. He completed his schooling in Arnprior and later attended college, majoring in drafting. As a young adult he held various jobs such as a pin setter at the local bowling alley, tree trimmer and a stable hand at the race track. Terry’s first daughter Angela was born on May 7th, 1979. He then moved his small family to Bassano in 1980 where he began his 38-year career with Eastern Irrigation District as a heavy equipment operator. Throughout his career he earned several awards for his work, which he took great pride in. Terry met Carleen in October 1985 and were married in August of 1989. To this reunion, his daughter Kayty was born on February 11th, 1991. The years following were spent acting as a second parent to many other teammates and friends during the countless hours of traveling to and from multiple sporting events throughout her entire life. From 1994-2007 his title included team manager and “water guy” for Kayty’s ringette team. Whatever sport it was, Terry was in tow. He liked to spend his time fixing things around the house (although, not always to completion), but always to perfection if it was at someone else’s house. He also enjoyed bowling, playing slow-pitch, camping, riding his motorcycle, traveling back East to see family, and was a master at harassing friends and family to no end. At the same time, he was the most sensitive, caring, protective and loving husband, father, uncle and brother. He was a trusting and loyal friend to all who knew him. Terry was predeceased by his parents Orville and Mona Smith. He is survived by his loving wife Carleen (Banga) Smith of Bassano, daughter Kayty Smith (Tyler Leidal) of Medicine Hat, and daughter Angela Patenaude and grandchildren Keenyn, Avery and Hudson, of Arnprior, ON. His brothers Donald Smith (Mary - deceased), Robert Smith (deceased) and Velma. Sisters Betty Amos ( Gord deceased) Nancy Tessier (fiancé Chris Mandin) (Donald Tessier - deceased), Penny Curnock (Willam) and Wendy VanDusen (Pete - deceased). As well as many loving nieces and nephews on both sides of the family. A celebration of life was held in Bassano, Alberta at the community hall on March 2nd at 12:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations can be forwarded to the High River District Health Care Foundation, Cancer Center, 560 9th Ave SW High River AB T1V 1B3. Donations can be made by mail, phone or online.

If we could have a lifetime wish A dream that could come true, We’d pray to God with all our hearts For yesterday and you.

A thousand words can’t bring you back We know because we’ve tried, Neither will a thousand tears We know because we’ve cried.

You left behind our broken hearts And happy memories too, But we never wanted memories We only wanted YOU.

God saw the road was getting rough, And hills were hard to climb; So he closed your weary eyelids, And whispered “Peace Be Thine”; Today recalls the memory of a loved one gone to rest, And those who think of her today are those who loved her best!

Still greatly missed by family & friends

BUILD YOUR

DREAM TEAM

When Jean-Guy and Judi Asselin were looking to purchase a property on Nieman Drive in McNab/ Braeside, she was considering the house - he the 6,000 ft. garage next to it.

They didn't know that about a decade later the garage would open its doors to the entire community. It officially became a Men's Shed - one of just 22 in Canada and the only one directly linked to a health organization - on Feb. 28. Some 70 people attended the ceremony, including area community leaders, municipal staff, non-profit volunteers, and older guys sporting new carpenter aprons.

It was a lively event with food and coffee and lots of good will, just as Jean-Guy had hoped.

"I didn't have anything to do out here (in the garage) and I was not meeting enough people," he said.

"I'm not using it and now I get to meet new people. It's great."

The Men's Shed movement has taken off across North America because it offers a place to learn new

Derek Dunn/Metroland During the official opening of Canada’s 22nd Men’s Shed, in the township of McNab/Braeside, participants gathered around a plank and circular saw instead of ribbon and scissors. Joining building owner Judi Asselin is township Mayor Tom Peckett, Jean-Guy Asselin, Seniors Active Living Centre’s Darrel O’Shaughnessy, Arnprior Mayor Walter Stack, and Arnprior Regional Health’s Eric Hanna. skills or share expertise, create items that can be sold or given back to the community, and most importantly allow seniors to socialize. Reducing isolation and boosting friendships is vital to a healthy lifestyle, which is why Arnprior Regional Health and Seniors Active Living Centre (SALC) created one locally.

"The shed is about helping senior men to live productive, healthy, and active lives, and to be engaged,"

said Darrel O'Shaughnessy, the project's driving force from SALC. "All we really want here is to give back to our community."

The Men's Shed has already won two contracts: they will build wheelchair accessible picnic tables for the Township of McNab/ Braeside and the Town of Arnprior. The municipalities supply the wood, the labour is free; the only stipulation is that volunteers at the shed are not rushed.

"If you have a deadline,

we can't do it," O'Shaughnessy said. "This will never be a business. All we want is to work with other men, shoulder to shoulder, tell stories, share coffee, boast about our families - our grandkids - and even tell a fib or six."

The men's shed is open Tuesdays and Thursdays.

AUTOSHOP STUDENTS TO WORK ON ULTRA-RARE CAR DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@ metroland.com

Derek Dunn/Metroland The 1963 Plymouth Fury is considered a rare find in classic car circles. The autoshop students at Arnprior District High School watched one roll in on Friday. They get to restore it, thanks to an organization dedicated to boosting interest in the trades.

Nations school.

"We support skilled trades and lifelong learning. There is a huge skilled trade shortage," said Karyn Brearley as the car was

backed into the school garage. "A lot of young people don't find it sexy, but there are lots of jobs, lots of mobility, and you can make very good money."

"It's very impressive that we are actually going to get to work on this car," said Mikey Davidson, examining the dusty interior of a 56-year-old car - muffler parts in place of seats fresh off the tow truck's flatbed. The Arnprior District High School student doesn't seem to see the neglect, just the potential.

An ultra-rare 1963 Plymouth Fury was recently donated to the autoshop class by an organization focused on growing interest in the trades, especially automotive. Yves Landry Foundation gave away two other cars, a 1978 Trans AM to a Niagara school board and a 1951 Ford F100 to a Seven

In fact, teacher Darryl Johnson is hoping plenty of mechanics around town can get their hands on it.

"I'm hoping autoshops around town will bring their expertise and teach a few lessons," Johnson said.

"That is my major goal.

They can share their expertise with students."

When restored, the car will be auctioned off and the money used to purchase another in need of rehab.

Yves Landry was a former president of Chrysler Canada. Editor's Note: The 1963 model did not appear in a novel and movie, as noted in an earlier draft.

ANGEL PROJECT HELPS WOMEN MAKE FRESH START “Have you ever thought about what you would need if you found yourself having to run for safety with only the clothes on your back? What would you need to start over?” asks Arnprior Angel Project founder Judy Wilson.

The answer is, “Everything.” Starting again with

nothing is an overwhelming concept, amplified tenfold when children are involved. The goal of this charity organization is to help women and children who have been hurt at home make a fresh start.

Domestic violence exists everywhere. In the last few years, the OPP have investi-

gated an average of more than one domestic dispute every single day in the Arnprior/Renfrew area. And worse yet, a woman is assaulted an average of 35 times before she calls the police for the first time.

The Angel Project collects new items a woman would need for her family

to start over. “The best part of the Angel Project,” says Wilson, “is 100 per cent of donations go to Bernadette McCann House in Pembroke and Lanark County Interval House in Carleton Place. Not one cent is lost to administration fees.” Since no refuge is available locally, local women who have to escape a dangerous situation must often reach out for help from one of these neighbouring shelters.

The Angel Project operates out of Antiques, Treasures & Treats, which posts a monthly focus on their Facebook page. “We collect

anything any time,” says Wilson, “but the monthly focus lets people know what the shelters we support are short on each month.”

The monthly focus might be anything from cleaning supplies to pyjamas/socks/underwear to items for a first-aid kit. Every once in a while it will be little luxuries such as craft supplies or pampering items and makeup.

The charity is celebrating one year of operation.

2,817 items were donated in 2018.

“The range in size var-

ied from a tube of toothpaste to a set of pots and pans. Everything helps. Put together it makes a big difference.” Donations of new items can be brought in to the shop or there is a drop box on the porch for those who prefer to donate anonymously. To meet Judy Wilson and donate personally, supporters are encouraged to ring the bell at the side door (beside the box labelled Arnprior Angel Project). Antiques, Treasures & Treats is at 260 Elgin St. W. Call 613-623-3858 or emailcontact@antiquestreasuresandtreats.com.

FATHER TAPPING TREES A SURE SIGN OF SPRING MARY COOK RECALLS THE HARD WORK THAT WENT INTO MAPLE SYRUP MARY COOK Column

Audrey said you could always tell when spring was just around the corner.

Once you saw a robin, you could be pretty sure, that was the end of the winter.

Well, I couldn't imagine a poor little robin venturing out when the snow was still sky high, we had howling winds, and the old Model T was still up on blocks in the drive shed.

It had been a long winter, but I had mixed feelings about seeing the last of it. Certainly, once the snow was gone, I could get rid of the long underwear, and that was something to look forward to. But there was much about winter I liked, especially when the temperatures dipped down to well below freezing, and our kitchen windows frosted up and you couldn't see out of them.

I could pass many minutes sitting on a chair in front of the frozen glass and either with a small nail, or a bobby pin, I could etch out pictures in the frost.

And what fun I had pressing my thumb

against the window, making a tiny hole where I could see out into the yard.

My thumb would be beet red and feel like it was frozen. My brother Emerson couldn't imagine how anyone could get any pleasure from just sitting in front of a frosty window and making a hole with a finger just to look out into the yard when all you had to do was go to the kitchen door and open it! Audrey said Emerson had no imagination.

There was no doubt winter was winding down, but I hoped there would be enough fresh snow out behind the summer kitchen so that we could bring in a full dishpan, and with fresh maple syrup heated on the Findlay Oval, make 'toffee on snow'.

Of course, Mother was very particular that only fresh snow was brought into the house. Heaven forbid that a dog had left its yellow trademark anywhere near the spot of snow we would be using!

A sure sign of winter coming to an end, of course, was when Father had tapped the trees in the maple bush, the buckets had been scoured and hung, and the big flat pan set out on top of a log bed ready to boil down the sap.

It would mean daily trips back into the bush to empty buckets into a milk can on the flat-bottom sleigh, and then pour it into the big rectangular pan over burning coals. It was a chore for Father to keep

the fire going day and night, and he made many trips back into the sugar bush every day, emptying the sap, and chucking logs under the pan of boiling sap. Once that job started, I knew that winter would soon be gone.

Things would be changing at the Northcote School, too. The boys would change from winter breeks to overalls, and when Miss Crosby put on her blue flowered silk dress with the little lace collar and cuffs, putting away her plain navy wool dress with the self belt, I knew winter would be coming to an end. Bad Marguirite with great fanfare, would appear in a new coat, as she did every year, and her fur-trimmed galoshes would be replaced with white rubber boots.

I would have to find something else to amuse me when the days warmed, and the windows would no longer be frost-covered. I would look, too, for that first robin my sister Audrey said would appear one day, telling us that winter was coming to a close, and spring wasn't far behind.

It was a sure thing ... as Father would say, "just like death and taxes."
