Plan parked Turtle Pond supporters quash park idea DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

RAD GRADS High school graduates were celebrated at Arnprior District High School last week. See our double-page spread, and check out next week’s paper for Grade 8 graduations from area elemen34-35 tary schools.

It turns out there won’t be another Macnamara Trail-like park in Arnprior after all.

The group behind the idea has pulled out.

Mayor David Reid found out Tuesday that Supporters of Turtle Pond, a group volunteering to gentrify lands between Madawaska Boulevard and Decosta Street, has rescinded its offer. It gave no formal reason for the move, but individual members said the town’s treatment of a beaver dam and its use of a grown-over roadway across from Sandvik on Decosta Street played a role.

Town employees dismantle part of a beaver dam weekly from early June to early July going back almost 40 years to prevent the road from flooding.

The road is used for the town’s main water trunk line, carrying water from the filtration plant to fill the water tower.

To allow a flood would be dangerous, reads a letter from town director of public works and engineering Janet Collins.

of all, his grown daughter was home for a visit.

All things were in their proper place at the Herrick Drive home, just outside Arnprior town limits.

A country boy at heart, Pirie finally moved out of the city after a long 10 years.

And now, with his trusty dog Murphy at his side, Pirie was taking time to survey all

within his domain.

Then it showed itself. A coyote in the backyard, sniffing the air, eyes half closed.

It spotted Pirie, and he it. Eyes locked but, strangely, the intruder didn’t exactly back down. Wildlife maintains a stubborn disrespect for private property.

Police issue warning after family pet killed by coyote Continued from front After a few minutes it walked behind the camper then came back again. It moved in and around more of Pirie’s stuff.

Lorne was a little surprised, a little vexed. His daughter came out with a camera to shoot a few photos. Pirie, a hunter, went to the garage to retrieve his .22calibre rifle. He wasn’t keen on the notion of putting a bullet in the animal. Police would get involved; maybe take his rifles; it didn’t seem worth the hassle.

And yet the coyote kept sniffing the air, indifferent to what the two-legged beasts were holding. It eventually trotted across the road, glancing back now and then, seemingly to show even roads pose little danger.

It spent the next hour of the morning howling in the field.

Not a panicky howl, nor angry, just a kind of calm messaging to understanding ears in far-off places.

The family thought little more of the incident. At dusk they went to see fireworks in town. The colours were lovely, the night air warm and full of good cheer.

They returned home and sat

in the backyard gazebo - just a few minutes before heading off to bed. Murphy needs out to have a pee.

Murphy, a Yorkshire terrier, never missed a fishing trip. He punched well above his weight on most counts, too, the spirit of a horse trapped in the body of a hairy mouse. Popular, all their friends and family would always ask how he’s doing. Sometimes before they asked Lorne how he was doing!

Murphy had a way of endearing himself to others, especially to a windower whose children are grown and off making lives of their own.

What to do with the abundance of nurturing?

Lorne, at one time the first person to make fun of people and their affection for pets, confessed to getting “attached” to the little guy. He had been with the family for almost 11 years.

Murphy pranced through the grass and into the night, on July 1, about 40 feet from the gazebo. Then the moment that snapped everything: Murphy’s weak yelp.

“It was a death breath,” Lorne said. “It was a bark like he was

Murphy, a 10-year-old yorkie, waits patiently for breakfast last Friday morning.

Submitted photo taking his last breath.”

Lorne and his girlfriend exchanged glances through the dark. It was not good.

“Murphy. Murphy!”

Beaver dam broken to stop flooding Continued from front “If flooding is permitted, access to the main water trunk line and emergency access to the area will be reduced and/ or eliminated introducing a number of significant risks to the town and its residents, i.e. loss or prolonged loss of water supply to the town, loss of access for emergency vehicles such as fire, police or ambulance, disruption to hydro service,” Collins wrote.

Three members of the group who, during breaks from work at Sandvik, walk the area to observe wildlife, attempted to rebuild the dam only to spot town staff tearing it apart again the next week.

They rebuilt. The town dismantled. The process almost took place a third time but for the workers deciding it would be futile.

Turtle Pond leader Tom Charbonneau, who proposed the park at a council meeting this past spring, said the road could be raised to prevent disruption to the beavers.

He considers the roadway argument a red herring, but didn’t specify what he believed was the town’s primary motive.

He added that he was “led to believe” the town was in favour of the idea; al-

though officially the town only suggested the group obtain trespassing permission from landowners in the proposed park area. (The group has yet to present those approves to the town.)

Charbonneau said he is wary of fingerpointing and getting into a war of words with town hall, but added the group is disappointed with the outcome.

He said he could envision the park to look much like the Gillies Grove with its many no-trespassing signs and bad feelings in the community. He didn’t want to be part of that scenario.

Some on council were concerned about liability, especially if the town promotes an area near an all but abandoned railway trestle. Reid said on a few occasions that he wanted to ensure the CN and CP railway lines wouldn’t be prevented from linking in the future if a park was created.

Still, he is careful to mention the group pulled back on the idea; it’s not a matter of the town rejecting it.

Meanwhile, Sandvik has torn down a well camouflaged shack being used as a party house on its land.

For more on the issue, see Charbonneau’s letter on Page 4.

Arnprior joins with Renfrew on recycling tender Arnprior and Renfrew will find out next week if a joint recycling tender will pay off.

The two towns went together on a tender call for pick-up, processing and marketing of recyclables.

The tender deadline is Tuesday, July 12 at 11 a.m.

Tenders will be opened at Renfrew Town Hall.

Nothing. Not good at all.

Minutes later Lorne saw the coyote for the second time that day. It was across the road in the field, sitting on its haunches. It

trotted off, howled a few times, and was gone.

At daybreak Lorne was out scouring the property for his dog. It didn’t take long.

“He killed him. Dropped him and left him,” Lorne said.

Murphy’s body was found. He was buried in the backyard.

Guess who showed up after the funeral? The coyote. Again.

The thought flashed through Pirie’s mind that he ought to get his gun and hunt the thing down. But, remembering that human rules have handcuffed him, he reluctantly admitted the coyote scored a victory over him.

Since that day he has learned from police that he is allowed to protect his property. That he could have killed the coyote that morning. But it’s cold comfort now.

Ottawa Police Service issued a press release warning folks in the area of a brazen coyote. Again, cold comfort at this point.

As for another dog?

“I’m not going there yet. You know how it is when you get attached to something,” he said.

“If so, it’ll be a yorkie.”

Declining enrolment limits teacher jobs DEREK DUNN

derek.dunn@metroland.com

Declining enrolment is taking a toll on teaching jobs in Renfrew County.

County councillors were surprised to learn that as many as 40 jobs could be axed from the public board, and the Catholic board could also lose out.

“Enrolment is declining at an alarming rate,” said Dave Shields, chairman of the Renfrew County District School Board. “To be efficient we’ll have to close something like one school every two years. It’s tough.”

Shields said the board has lost about 400 students over two years, adding the provincial government funds schools about $10,000 per student.

Along with shutting schools and the loss of good paying jobs in rural communities, students at the higher levels – specifically in high school – lose out on the variety of courses they are able pick from.

The board has struck an “accommodation review committee” to examine the issue, which affects schools in Barry’s Bay and Opeongo more than Renfrew and Arnprior.

Shields said that the addi-

tion of full-time junior and senior kindergarten will help offset the loss of Grade 13. But with families having fewer children, he doesn’t see the trend changing anytime soon.

Scholars have argued in recent years that growing Canada’s population to 100 million would generate economic spinoffs; the thread being that jobs are created by the interaction of workers. Shields said rural areas appear to be suffering from the opposite effect: fewer people leads to fewer jobs.

“Teachers spend money.

They go to nearby stores. It’s a whole big circle,” Shields said. “Our future is pretty bleak.”

CATHOLIC JOBS HELD

Jaimie Perry, superintendent of education at the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board, agrees there is a danger of losing teaching jobs. But it hasn’t happened in the past two years.

“We haven’t had to lay anybody off because of normal attrition,” Perry said, noting teachers often pick up work at another school in the board.

Although the school has lost about 200 pupils, com-

pared to larger Catholic boards in southern Ontario that have lost hundreds of thousands of students due to declining enrolment, he said the effects might not be as evident because the Renfrew Catholic board is smaller than the public board.

Perry talked about students participating in combined grade level classes. He said studies show no negative effects on learning, but the government’s intent is to see classes at lower grade levels have 20 students – all the same age.

He said it’s easier for smaller schools to produce a “community environment” where students are more than an ID number, but larger ones work hard at offering individual attention.

Perry, a former St. Joseph’s Catholic high school principal, noted southern areas of the county have remained neutral when it comes to teaching job levels.

“We haven’t been hiring for jobs in Renfrew and Arnprior area in a couple of years.”

Board chairman Bob Schreader echoed his public board counterpart on how enrolment numbers affect the overall budget.

“A particular challenge is the provincial trend of decreasing enrolment, which hits small, rural school boards especially hard,” he wrote the 2011-2012 budget media release.

“With the majority of grants based on enrolment, a drop in enrolment numbers results in a drop in provincial funding.”

He added that is increasingly difficult for smaller boards to find new efficiencies.

However, ArnpriorMcNab-Braeside public board Trustee Norm Hazelwood said boards typically hand out more layoff notices than they expect to fulfill. That’s because teachers need to know by late May if they have to hand out resumes or are certain of a job come September.

Hazelwood said in one year the actual number of job losses come fall was closer to half the number announced in spring. Either way, he added, Arnprior is likely safe.

“I don’t think there’ll be many in Arnprior because we aren’t d o w n much (enrolment),” Hazelwood said.

Meeting first step of GACC, BIA working together Results of First Impressions program to be released July 12 SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com

The Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce hosted a June 22 event that was designed to foster better communication and co-operation between the chamber and Arnprior’s Business Improvement Association.

Over dinner at Our Place in the Prior and discussions afterward, the groups talked about how to work together in the future.

Mike Marcil of Giant Tiger, also a chamber director, spoke on behalf of the BIA. President Chantal Beaulieu and other BIA directors were on hand.

“To me, the chamber is Arnprior in its entirety and the BIA is the core of your downtown businesses,” said Marcil.

“We all work towards a very common goal, the good of Arnprior,” said Marcil. “The two organizations really need to be working together to drive business to Arnprior. If we can bring these organizations together, the sky’s the limit.”

GACC president Zillah Briscoe addresses chamber and Arnprior Business Improvement Association members at a June 22 meeting in Arnprior. in the park, downtown garage sale and flower program are all opportunities for the groups to work together, said Marcil.

There’s also a possibility of creating what could be a parttime position of an events co-ordinator, said Marcil.

“To me, Arnprior has always come across as a sleeping giant.

Once that giant wakes up, look out,” said Marcil.

GACC president Zillah Briscoe said the chamber is looking

forward to collaborating with the BIA, the town, township and the economic development committee.

“The whole goal is to promote Arnprior as the place to be,” said Briscoe.

The downtown is looking great, she added. “Kudos to the downtown businesses. Things are really looking nice.”

FIRST IMPRESSIONS Arnprior economic development officer Erin Clarke updated meeting goers on the First Impressions community exchange program the town has undertaken with Kemptville.

Arnprior will present the findings of its study of Kemptville at a meeting there on July 12.

The public is invited to attend a meeting July 14 at 6:30 p.m. at the Arnprior Legion where the Kemptville contingent will offer their impressions following visits to Arnprior.

“We strongly encourage the public and businesses to attend so we can hear the responses and feedback,” said Clarke.

Are ‘Redskin’ and ‘Redmen’ offensive?

A Mohawk in Ottawa, Kirk Brant, said this week that he is offended at the use of the term Redskins by a Nepean football league. The team took its name from the Washington NFL team and claims a proud tradition behind it, dating back to 1980.

Redmen, the nickname Arnprior District High School teams have used going back at least 80 years, is pretty close to Redskins.

Is the name racist? Should the school change it?

Brant grew up fighting racism with his fists. He said the term redskin was always meant in a derogatory sense and it always led to fights. Now that he is an adult, fighting is no longer an option. So he is fighting to have the word dropped where he sees it.

Those who don’t identify with a minority group can not brush off terms such as redskins, the ‘n’ word and others as harmless. To those in the majority – usually associated with white males – it is easy to say ‘lighten up, stop being so soft and serious.’

After all, the world works pretty well the way it is.

There is no point changing the status quo because that might upset the advantage those in the majority enjoy. Problem is, those in the minority – visible minority like aboriginals, and others – cannot deny the emotional impact certain words and experience have on them. Nor should they. Everyone has the right to feel the way they feel.

As for Redmen, which some have said is less offensive than Redskins, we suggest the high school keep the name for now.

ADHS vice-principal Tom Havey said the issue was raised about five years ago when a staff member suggested an investigation be conducted to see if anyone was offended. Although the school has not received a complaint in the 10 years he has been at the school, staff went out of its way to contact the aboriginal community in Golden Lake. They belong to the same school board and kids from there could play sports against Arnprior kids.

Havey said the community confirmed Redmen is not an offensive to them so long as it is used respectfully. And, furthermore, the school has gone to lengths to prevent students from using tomahawks and headgear with feathers in it, and the like.

For ADHS athletes, the name has long evoked a deep sense of pride – it’s respected and revered. It triggers deep emotion for students, but in a positive way. No doubt words can wound. Journalists wouldn’t be worth much if they didn’t maintain that choosing accurate words is important. But the Redmen name at ADHS should stay unless a significant number of aboriginals complain.

Smart Center, smart move To the editor: Having split my time between Arnprior and Rockland in the last 20 years, I can say that these two cities are like sister cities.

One lies west of Ottawa, the other east. Both lie on the Ottawa River and the population used to be nearly the same except that Rockland has been taking a lead in population growth in the last few years.

Despite all the naysayers and negative propaganda machine that is probably run by the people with dollars trying to protect their own with complete disregard for what the people need. Their needs come first.

I can assure you they had the same fears in Rockland when Walmart established itself there five years ago, but since the town has experienced a dramatic business growth, most new businesses figure if Walmart deems it safe to establish, then it would be for them also.

Adieu from the turtle pond supporters To the editor: There is a Latin phrase used long ago that says “ab ovo usque ad mala.”

Loosely it translates as ‘from beginning to end’; or to put it another way: ‘from soup to nuts’.’

The community-driven group that came together in the beginning with a vision for the wetlands area east of the old CN rail line saw something very special about the area and wanted to help conserve it, preserve it, and present it as a special place of enjoyment and education.

That was about five years ago. Over time, much of that vision was fulfilled, so it was seen as a good recipe for a hearty soup.

In addition, over the years, the group knew events had occurred there that were troubling, e.g. the live trapping of beavers is one example, but that issue seemed to have gone away.

Then there were issues of illicit activity and with due diligence, and care, those issues also seemed to be

Canada Day thank you

Established in 1879

taken care of.

But over time, as events unfolded and formal proposals were presented, other issues cropped up. They included ideas that conservation areas should be left to the flora and fauna and people excluded.

There were bona fide risk management issues with town staff, and it was also believed, they too might be resolved, but then other issues started to occur from outright hostility by a few members of the public, to other activities such as intentional damage to wildlife habitat by persons generally speaking unknown, but there is evidence to suggest who the perpetrators might be.

The end game is the proposal has turned to from “soup to nuts” and one can read anything they want to into that!

Suffice to say, the Supporters of Turtle Pond have decided to pull away from the proposed project.

After a telephone motion was made, a vote was taken to wind up the group

To the editor: I wanted to express my thanks to the people at the Giant Tiger parking lot for the great food and entertainment.

I had a great time and was shocked to find out the food was free and more shocked that the hamburgers were provided by my old friend Howie.

To the many people of this wonderful community who supported our initiative, we just want to say thank you. While we are disheartened by this turn of events, we as citizens can take some pride in what we did accomplish. That is...”we left the area much better than we found it.”

So the Supporters of Turtle Pond will no longer be seen in this special place.

We will be trespassing on private lands and we won’t do that as a group.

We have more sense than to look or act like those who manage and own another natural resource in this area.

Health unit closure unfair to Arnprior Grow, Arnprior, grow To the editor: The editorial comments of June 30 Arnprior Chronicle entitled ‘Health unit should make effort to stay’ was a well-written article.

The Health Unit in Pembroke knew for some time that the office space was leased on a monthly basis, but had ample opportunity to rent space elsewhere in Arnprior.

This health unit is a viable service to many people through the various services it provides.

As of May 15 there was no longer well-water pick-up for testing, even though the courier that does the pick-

up throughout Renfrew County passes the town on its way to Ottawa. Cottageowners and businesses in the country rely on well water not municipal water service, and with the ‘Walkerton fiasco’ a few years ago, the periodic testing is important.

Those families from town who have a cottage in Renfrew County must drive to Renfrew during the week (not Fridays) or returning on the weekends must drop off the sample the next morning at the McNab Township office. If they are employed, must arrange for someone to drive the sample the next morning.

In our instance, the mileage from Deacon area is 63 km to the County office in Renfrew, a 45-minute drive, which means that one leaves for home by 3 p.m. during the week, or drives the 26 km (return) to McNab Township office the following day before 10 a.m.

It seems that we in this lower end of the county must give up another service at the decision of the health unit in Pembroke. There does not appear to be equality in services throughout the county.

Story cut off accidently A story-letter in last week’s Chronicle-Guide about Christian Freidrich Scheel and his wife Louisa Karyus coming to Canada in 1861 was inadvertently cut off.

Write on: we love receiving letters to the editor

To the editor: I would just like to express my thanks and appreciation for the wonderful evening of July 4.

The friends and family of all who attended made it a great and festive crowd and I believe all had an excellent time.

I am truly honoured with the ‘peace lily’ that I received and will find a prestigious location for it.

Club members and the local community have all made my life a little brighter and I am honoured to have received not only the Past President’s Pin but also my second sapphire to my Paul Harris in support of Rotary International.

Our ongoing connections through what we do as a close-knit team in Arnprior and surrounding area is awesome.

I was also thrilled with our efforts and involvement in assisting with international humanitarian support as a result of recent major natural disasters.

The Canada Day Duck race, calendars, park benches, library contribution, Christmas cakes, Shelter Box, White Pine Fest and other things certainly keep us busy and in touch with others in our community.

I want to thank everyone in the community for their support to our club.

It is fantastic to see what we do with the funds we raise in helping others.

The 25th Anniversary Event was a great way to share with other Rotarians and clubs in the Valley.

I am particularly pleased with the truly wonderful efforts of all the students and teachers of the schools who participated in sharing and caring for others through the mentoring and literacy connectivity in the local schools by the use of the ‘Who is Nobody’ educational program www.whoisnobody.com.

Their efforts and the kind things they have done have made the last year a truly amazing experience.

I do wish the very best to our new president Sean Watson.

And to all those in Arnprior, Braeside and McNab and surrounding area, I enjoy being a Rotarian and want all to know that whenever and wherever I can, I will warmly extend the Rotary hand of friendship to all.

You never know, I might see you dropping in some Monday evening to see what your local Rotary Club is all about.

Dave W. Palmer, Past President The Rotary Club of Arnprior

Continued from Page 4 Since Wal-Mart established in Rockland, they have had companies move in with not one but three new business parks, a hockey school, several new restaurants, new stores. It even convinced the LCBO to expand and relocate.

There are still new businesses and new restaurants being built as I write this, new home construction is going crazy with over 1,000 new homes going up and families moving in every day, most of this brought on by Smart Centers.

Rockland has gone from a sleepy bedroom community to lively business hub. So if you need more convincing, take Rockland as a model. Take a ride to Rockland and bear in mind that all we had five years ago was a McDonald’s and see what it looks like now.

Smart Center in Arnprior will only bring prosperity. Grow Arnprior grow.

Council members stressed that while the new sign has be unveiled the beach will not be officially open for safe swimming and picnicking until at least early August. A clean-up on the once popular spot needs to be finished and railings and a gate erected to ensure that the beach on the Ottawa River can be used safely.

August date set for Braeside Quarry suit JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com

A date has been set for the court to hear a civil action brought by several residents of the Braeside Ridge against the owner of the Braeside Quarry.

The action will be heard in Pembroke Aug. 22 to Sept. 2.

The residents, neighbours of the quarry, filed a civil action for damages for nui-

sance and trespassing against the Miller Group in small claims court on Jan. 18, 2010. Several delays have put off the case until next month.

Ecojustice Canada, formerly Sierra Legal, is representing the residents in the action. Linda McCaffrey, an experienced environmental lawyer, formerly Director of Ecojustice, Ottawa, is heading up the residents’ legal team.

The residents are asking for damages

for having to put up with emissions from the temporary asphalt plant installed and operated in the quarry during fall 2009.

Since then, the plant has operated during the spring, summer and fall paving season in 2010.

The residents claim odour and noise from the plant has affected their quality of life and allege contaminants have caused such adverse effects as irritation of the eyes, nose

and throat; loss of appetite; shortness of breath; and headaches and nausea.

They maintain the company should be taking action to mitigate or eliminate the disturbance to its residential neighbours.

The claim alleges the defendant is liable to the plaintiffs “in nuisance, negligence and trespass to property.” The company disputes the allegations and says it will fight the claims vigorously in court.

Horall expressed his thanks for the award, to council and also the residents of the municipality, who he called neighbours and friends. He loves the township, said Horall. “I can’t think of anyplace else I’d rather go.”

The town has undertaken pathway work along Robert Simpson Park and the recently expanded Water Filtration Plant.

Reid told staff weeks ago that he expected the work to be done before tourist season, but is willing to cut a bit of slack because of June’s massive rain storms. The pathway is muddy in most places with deep rivulets where rain cut through to the river. “We want to get our waterfront back,” he said.

Below the path, where it connects with Robert Simpson Beach, the new sewage treatment pipe leading to the Ottawa River was a cause of some concern recently.

At least one person walking the park presumed raw sewage or sludge was coming out.

Town staff said a planned, one-time flushing of the pipe was done to remove sediment that settled inside during construction.

“The water coming through the pipe, visible at the beach, is treated water and bulk water,” director of public works and engineering Janet Collins wrote in an email. “There is no sludge or bypass effluent entering the pipe or river.”

Reid said the beach will never be as clean as Burnstown Beach, a popular spot for locals on the Madawaska River in McNab-Braeside. However, that it has more to do with a heavier population levels on the Ottawa River, which is out of the town’s power to influence.

Reid said he swims in the Ottawa and will continue to do so.

He added that the quality of treated water coming from the pipe “exceeds” provincial guidelines.

Good neighbours limit damage

A house fire in Arnprior Tuesday morning could have been a lot worse if not for observant kids and a quick-acting neighbour.

On Harriet Street, between Victoria and Ottawa streets, the side-by-side white duplex at address 232 caught fire in the backroom addition. Youths biking by at about 9:30 a.m. spotted smoke curling out, and ran to alert Mike Martins who lives nearby.

Martins grabbed his fire extinguisher and rushed to the scene. After emptying the extinguisher he used a garden hose to douse the walls.

No one was home at the time. But when the door was finally pried open a cat and dog bolted outside.

“He freaked out. We haven’t seen him since,” said Willow Carr, daughter of homeowners Debbie and Blaine Carr, who watched as 14 firefighters in four vehicles took over the situation in search of possible hotspots. Willow’s parents were gone for the morning.

The pets eventually returned, safe and sound.

CAUSE A MYSTERY Chief John Okum said the cause will be listed as undetermined, though the fire caused about $8,000 Photo by Mike Yeas in damages. The family has home insurance.

“We did a lot of sifting and didn’t find anything Arnprior firefighters check out a fire at a home on Harriet Street Tuesday. Thanks to alert passers-by, a good neighbour and firefighters the as to the cause,” Okum said. damage was much less than it could have been.

The family owns both 230 and 232 Harriet.

Man charged with sexual assault of granddaughter A McNab-Braeside man is facing 10 serious charges related to the sexual assault of his granddaughter.

Renfrew OPP report the 56-year-old was charged after police received information a five-year-old child had been sexually assaulted by her grandfather. Police say they began their investigation when the child disclosed the information in late June.

The grandfather was arrested and charged with five counts of sexual assault and five counts of sexual exploitation. He was held in custody for a bail hearing, which was held Monday, July 4.

Police are withholding his name in order to protect the identity of the victim. OPP Constable Amanda Carruthers investigated.

Renfrew OPP officers responded to 12 domestic

disputes last week. One man was charged with breach of probation, possession of marijuana, mischief under $5,000, trespassing and public intoxication.

A woman was charged with two counts of assault.

VANDALS STRIKE Renfrew OPP report that vandals continue to cause damage at businesses and personal properties around the area.

Among several cases investigated last week were a school bus vandalized at Braeside, the large rabbit statue at Storyland damaged and a window in McNab-Braeside broken. In all, the Renfrew OPP responded to 243 calls for service last week.

Motorcyclist dies in crash on the Calabogie track STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

The provincial coroner’s office, assisted by the Renfrew OPP, is leading the investigation into the first fatality at the Calabogie MotorSports Park since it opened in the fall of 2006.

About 11 a.m. Monday, officers were dispatched to a motorcycle collision at the park, which features a five-kilometre, multipleturn asphalt track.

Pro 6 Cycle was hosting a private lapping day when several motorcycles were involved in a

Community mourns Deloris Meek

collision on the track. Calvin Essex, 42, from London, Ont., died at the scene.

Another man was transported to the Ottawa Hospital by air ambulance with serious injuries, while a third was transported by paramedics to the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Police say no charges are expected.

Activity ceased after the accident, but the group was back using the facility Tuesday.

Marc Steenbakkers, president and general manager of Calabo-

gie MotorSports Park, compared the accident to the recent death of a skier at Calabogie Peaks Resort. At both facilities, accidents can happen, said Steenbakkers.

“Our track was built to the safest standards possible, but you can’t control everything,” he said.

Previous to the fatality, Steenbakkers says there hadn’t even been a serious injury at the facility.

The track hosts events for cycling, motorcycling and highperformance car lapping and racing.

McNab-Braeside township bid farewell this week to a resident with a long history of community support.

Deloris Meek, nee Hartwig, passed away in Groves Park Lodge early Sunday morning (July 3), at the age of 83.

Meek was a president of the Royal Canadian Legion Ladies Auxiliary and a life member, a member of Eastern Star and also a member of the Braeside United Church Women.

“The Meek family has been active within the township for generations and always community contributors,” said McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell.

“We join the family and the community in grieving the loss.”

Sympathy was extended in particular to township clerk-CAO Noreen Mellema, who is Deloris’ daughter.

Deloris is predeceased by her husband William Meek and her daughter Iona (Mrs. Tony Smith) of Kanata.

She is survived by her children Robert Meek (Nathalie) of Renfrew, Garnet Meek of Braeside, Daryle Meek (Maureen) of Arnprior, Karen Robertson (John) of Arnprior, Carol Meek (Chris Gibson) of Ottawa and Noreen Mellema (John) of Arnprior.

It took awhile to get used to, but full day kindergarten has become a big hit at McNab Public School.

“The kids adapted well,” said kindergarten teacher Sarah Roy. “We’ve seen a big difference in their academics and social relationships (by going the full day). It’s been a great experience.”

“It’s been such a positive experience because they get a real connection to the school,” said principal Bronwyn Scott. “It’s been great for academics. They think of themselves as readers and writers … the students are going into Grade 1 confident and happy.”

Scott said the teaching partnership between the regular teacher and the early childhood educator has worked well. “They complement each other … it’s very encouraging.” Roy has been partnering with early childhood educators Laurie Hill and Christy Campbell in the classroom. “It’s fantastic to have someone who knows so much about childhood development,” said Roy. McNab Public School was this area’s first elementary school to offer full day kindergarten, with 47 students taking part five days a week. Next year, the school is expecting 48 students in full day kindergarten, which is being phased in over five years across the province.

To celebrate the end of an exciting and historic year, the kindergarten students enjoyed a fun morning June 17 and showed off their learned skills in a concert June 23 (see page 11). The fun morning featured eight play stations ranging from the parachute and t-ball to basketball and spray painting run by their Grade 6-7 reading buddies.

During a break in the action, Roy said it didn’t take her young charges too long to adjust to not having every other day off school. The students were given the option of a rest period to ensure they didn’t get too tired. By the end of the year, most were choosing to participate in activities instead.

With the learning play-based, students don’t get worn out, she noted.

It’s made them better prepared for Grade 1, she noted, adding kindergarten’s “fun approach” tends to start them off with a good attitude about schooling.

“I know the program is working very well for the families in our community,” agreed Scott. “It (full day kindergarten) is giving them a great foundation for all the learning that is ahead.”

Our very own Arnprior Special Olympics Athletes participated in a provincial floor hockey tournament in Sudbury June 9-12.

The Arnprior Axemen had a very exciting road trip with 16 athletes and three coaches sharing a bus with Renfrew athletes. The Renfrew Millionaires won a silver medal at the tournament.

While in Sudbury, the athletes and coaches stayed at the Cambrian College residences.

More than 300 athletes from across the province participated in opening and closing ceremonies. And these athletes watched a Stanley Cup game via a large screen feed into the Sudbury arena.

How did they do?

The Arnprior Axemen, coached by Lorne Clark, were participating in the invitational side of the tournament.

Determined to be too strong for that division, they participated in the Mighty Duck division and won respectably the bronze medal.

Two Arnprior athletes (Terance Crabtree and Darryl Clark) were on loan to the Brockville Islanders and they won a gold medal.

The Brockville Islanders have been invited to participate in the Winter National Special Olympics Games next February in Saint Albert, Alberta. Arnprior Special Olympics wish Terrance and Darryl all the best on their upcoming competition.

ALMONTE – An Almonte Minor Hockey alumnus will join a new team this year.

Kent Huskins will pull on a St. Louis Blues jersey this fall. The free agent signed a one-year, $1million contract to play for the National Hockey League team, the Blues announced Saturday.

The team signed the left-handed defenseman from Almonte, who played for the Ottawa Valley Titans and Kanata Valley Lasers in his junior days, for less than the $1.9 million he made last year with the San Jose Sharks.

In the 2010-11 season, Huskins scored two goals and eight assists in 50 games, missing a large part of the season with an upper body injury.

Huskins spent two seasons with San Jose, following years with the Anaheim Ducks. He became a Stanley Cup champion in 2007 with the Ducks after being drafted by Chicago in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft.

In 2007, Huskins brought the Stanley Cup to Almonte at the Civitan Hall and Mill of Kintail in the cup’s hometown tour of champion players.

San Jose also traded Dany Heatley, former Ottawa Senators player and current Senators fans’ favourite rival player, over the weekend. Heatley will now don a Minnesota Wild jersey after being traded for another former Senator, Martin Havlat.

Planes and pancakes Sunday

P R E S E N T S

Airplane enthusiasts are in for a treat this Sunday, July 10 at the Arnprior Airport.

Pilots from near and far will have their winged prides and joys on display for the public from 7:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the Arnprior Airport.

The Canadian Owners and Pilots Association (COPA) Flight 33 is holding its annual breakfast.

People are welcome to drive-in, bike-in, walk-in, and, of course, fly-in to take part in the volunteer-run festivities.

“Come out and see what your airport is all about,” said manager Dan Lynch.

“We’ll be going ahead rain or shine.”

As well as a hearty Valley breakfast for $6 (same as last year), people can view the visiting planes up close and chat to their pilots.

“You can rub shoulders with pilots from big and small planes,” said Lynch.

“A pilot’s a pilot no matter what size of plane … they all have interesting stories.”

Pilots from flying clubs from all over Eastern Ontario and even further afield have been invited to attend the breakfast, which has been a major summer event for at least 20 years.

Concerts Park

Lynch is hopeful Bob Hanson of Smiths Falls will be back with one of his special planes (he brought a Mig fighter jet trainer last year).

Breakfast can be enjoyed either in a sheltered area in a hangar or outside on picnic tables.

Chapman Aviation will be providing sightseeing rides for a modest fee.

If the weather permits, there will also be sky divers landing at the airport to entertain the visitors.

Last year, close to 1,000 people attended and about $2,500 was raised for several airport and aviation-related projects.

Lynch says those attending will be guided to designated parking areas.

Two passenger wagons will be circulating throughout the site, carrying people to the breakfast and taking them around to see the airplanes.

PAKENHAM CELEBRATES ONE DAY EARLY Photos by Brier Dodge

Pakenham was busy on Canada Day eve as the annual parade and fireworks took place.

The parade featured local firefighters, community groups and politicians, and drew a busy crowd before the fireworks. There were lots of friendly faces as these ladies happily wave to the crowd during the start of the parade route.

Jaiden Stockill, 11, gets her face painted by a 4-H member as a part of their fundraiser. Jay Gleeson, right, was happy to don his dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gear and pose with the fire truck before marching alongside firefighters in the parade.

Ceramic Your Walls with INTRODUCTORY SALE PRICE

$

38.99

White & Pastel Base Only

Elite Ceramic by PARA is the highest quality interior latex paint we make. Our unique microsphere technology combines the proven durability of fine particle ceramic beads with the excellent adhesion and flexibility of 100% acrylic latex. Its superior formulation featuring CERAMIC MICROSPHERES provides the highest level of performance in hiding power, adhesion, coverage, wash ability, and stain resistance. Elite Ceramic by PARA provides the best protection that your walls and trim will ever need, in a soft eggshell finish.

Ralph’s testimonial: I’ve tried and tested the ceramic elite eggshell finish for the past 6 years in my kitchen. I’ve washed it with “soap”, (dish soap, laundry soap, and even Vim.) The most noticeable was washing with just water…and it worked! It never burnished the surface. It’s the hardest paint finish that I have ever used, tested, and approved of.

KITCHEN & BATH CERAMIC PAINT has been tested for 12 years on all my trim in my house, I would recommend it for trim any where you want a strong, durable, soft sheen (pearl).

Concerts in the Park begin July 7

25 July 7 2011 - ARNPRIOR CHRONICLE-GUIDE

The popular Concerts in the Park series will return to Fitzroy Provincial Park this summer.

The four Thursday evening concerts are hosted by West CarletonMarch Coun. Eli El-Chantiry.

Tonight (July 7), Sidewinder will take to the stage. Hailing from various areas of the Ottawa Valley, the band members play a variety of songs from today back to the 1960s.

On July 14, Local Traffic will be the second band to hit the main stage. The band is made up of five members, three of whom are from West Carleton.

On July 21, another Valley band, The Bowes Brothers, will be playing. They bring a unique style to country music by singing in a four-part harmony and add in some humour.

Finally on July 28, Ambush will wrap up the concert series.

Known as “the little band with the big sound,” these entertainers have opened for such big names as Tim McGraw, Lonestar and Charlie Pride.

The four concerts begin with a barbecue fundraiser for local youth groups at 6:15 p.m. with the entertainers to play from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

Organizers will be accepting donations for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario at the gate.

Waste Management is helping sponsor the concerts.

Arnprior Lionettes give boost to seniors, students SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Both the Arnprior-BraesideMcNab Seniors at Home and Camp Wanago are the latest benefactors of the Arnprior Lionettes’ good works.

Results of a spring raffle netted $658.32 for 50/50 winner Betty Fevreau and the same amount split between the two organizations.

Both Seniors at Home executive director Dennis Harrington and Arnprior pool/program supervisor Jay Koch expressed their gratitude for the generous support of the Lionettes.

“There are people I know of already who will benefit from this,” said Koch.

Arnprior has an active Lionettes group that is responsible for a wide range of activities in

the community.

In May, Lionettes staffed the hospitality lounge for the Dare to Care Coach Telethon and several Lionettes volunteered for a cancer blitz in one area of town, reports president Peggy Frechette. The Lionettes keep tabs on what’s happening in the community – having a representative attend council meetings and Lions Club meetings.

The group is also known for its annual support of the Terry Fox Run in September and at local Remembrance Day ceremonies, says Frechette.

St. Nicholas gets some help from the ladies when they pack candy for the Santa Claus Parade and when they Lionettes staff the distribution centre for Share-a Gift.

In September of this past year,

Lionette Joan McConnell held a tea party in her home and a freewill offering was sent to the Royal Ottawa.

“Funds in the past year have been raised by a fall rummage sale and a spring rummage sale, a

bakeless bake sale and a Christmas bake sale, our annual Friendship Dinner and a 50/50 raffle.

At each meeting we collect for an inter-club 50/50 draw - the draws are held every three months - and Pennies for the Pig are collected,” says Frechette.

KAYLA REINERT AND DON GOUGEON Youth Corner

The heat was here awhile ago, but now school is out, camps have started and we can officially say that summer is here!

Our Go Girls camp is wrapping up and nine girls are having a great time with counsellors Shay Klimpel, Robin Reinert and Jenn McNulty.

We had a great time at White Lake Marina, and all of the girls give a special thank you to Andra and the rest of the staff at the centre for letting us go out on the pontoon boat.

Want to travel the world in five days?

Then join our Amazing Race Camp!

Our supervised camp will travel from Italy to Mexico, from China to Australia, among many other places in the span of Monday, July 11 to July 15 without leaving the town of Arnprior.

The only time we do pack it up is when we head to Calypso for our trip Wednesday.

The cost for Amazing Race camp (yepname comes from the show, so expect detours, road blocks and more) is $199 and includes lunch and the trip.

Our camps are geared towards participants ages 8-14. Registration is due by noon Sunday.

Want to sign up for just the trip? That’s ok too, Take advantage of our special pricing and sign up any participants 9 and older for only $25.

Thanks to the Ministry of Health Pro-

motion and Sport, our busing is paid for, so we can offer the discounted entrance rate.

With our Calypso trip there are many different options, which can be confusing.

Camp Wanago is coming on another bus, so children and youth can register for day trip only through Camp Wanago for $40.

When you register through Camp Wanago through the camp or Day trip only as well as our Amazing Race Camp, then you will have direct supervised groups throughout the day.

If you register (only available to those 9 and older) through the Youth Programs Calypso Bus trip, then it is more of a transportation service.

There will be supervisors on site, but the youth will be able to go on the slides and use the park without a direct supervisor.

Youth will be expected to check in at lunchtime and then be ready for the bus at the end of the day.

So many options to make the best of your day.

More great news! We have extended the number of participants in the Survivor Camp. We had a great response and we have lots of interest so when we filled up we co-ordinated more staff and can now take more registrations.

Don’t be disappointed for the second time, register soon. Our special Survivor trip is to the extreme outback of Chutes Colongue for some zip lining. Exciting!

Check out next week for more Survivor

AIR CADET AWARDS Photo by John Carter

Among the award winners at the 653 Champlain Squadron Royal Canadian Air Force Cadets 54th annual review and inspection June 5, from left, are LAC Matthew Desjardins of Braeside, named best first-year cadet; Warrant Officer first class Samantha Cremer of Dunrobin, Sword of Honour and Ninety-Nines Canadian Award in Aviation; and Flight Corporal Garnet Gladwin of Pakenham, best non-commissioned officer.

Please find me a home Frank # 3967 Poor Frank had a pretty rough life before coming to the shelter. The three-year-old is a stray cat who was never claimed. He is missing both ears, which was caused from frost bite. He was pretty beaten up when first brought in, yet this hasn’t affected his personality. Frank is a sweet cat who gets along well with other cats and just loves attention. He is an active, intelligent, sweet kitty that deserves to find a great home where he will be treated with kindness for the rest of his life.

Do you have room in your home and heart for this happy-go-lucky little dog? Oliver is a two-year-old neutered Jack Russell/Collie mix who was brought in as a stray and never claimed. Oliver is energetic and active and enjoys going for long walks. He knows a few basic commands but would benefit from more training. Oliver is partially housebroken and would benefit from a regular routine. He gets along with most other dogs and seems respectful of cats. He is very intelligent and is a quick learner. He would be good with children over ten.

Supplies the shelter needs : dry and canned kitten food, rawhides and chewies for dogs, paper towels and bleach.

Many of you enjoyed the fantastic light shows that erupted last Friday.

The dark of the night was repeatedly broken by bursts of dazzling light and showers of cascading sparks. The oohs and ahs of the crowds reflected their satisfaction with the Canada Day fireworks.

Not to be outdone, Nature has Her own spectacular displays of light.

On clear nights, bastions of stars capture our eye and the occasional flaming meteorite ignites excitement in our souls. But just like our fireworks, these are created by inanimate objects.

Nature also has much more animated shows that can be currently viewed every evening. These are the aerial performances put on by Fireflies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fireflyâ&#x20AC;? is actually a misnomer because these insects are not flies but beetles that go by the non-misleading scientific name â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lampyridae.â&#x20AC;?

Fireflies, also called Lightningbugs (again misleading because they neither are they bugs!), can be identified by their Darth Vader-like appearance. A large orange and black hood the pronotum, projects over the head completely hiding that body part from above.

Fireflies are predators. Even the

larval stage are hunters with many being snail specialists.

Some larvae hunt snails that live in ponds.

When Fireflies light up the night they are sending out singles advertisements. Most Michael Runtz male Fireflies (not all species Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Way produce light) use species-specific Morse code patterns to attract a femaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye.

Their amazing light is produced in the abdomen. No batteries are used and the light is highly efficient producing virtually no heat as a by-product.

Those who have unscrewed a lit-up candescent light bulb or sat under a row of halogen lights know just how much energy lights waste as heat.

The secret to Firefly light is a mixture of a few ingredients. The chemical luciferin, the bioluminescent enzyme luciferase, oxygen, ATP (the energy carrier found in all body cells),

and nitric acid (the stuff Viagra produces) combine to produce the light that brings Fireflies their fame.

Little uric acid crystals reflect the light away from the beetleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body, turning it into a living beacon.

Male Fireflies fly across open meadows blinking their Morse-code messages of love.

Female Fireflies, many of which bear no wings, patiently sit on nearby foliage and watch the show.

When a female spots a particularly impressive blinker (studies have revealed that females do choose males by the length or brilliance of the blinks), she literally gets turned on and blinks back a â&#x20AC;&#x153;come see meâ&#x20AC;? reply. The likely equally excited male then flies over to mate with her.

There is an amazing twist to the Firefly story. Many Fireflies produce a nasty defensive steroid. One group, Photuris, does not make it. The females of this species are nothing less than femme fatales, attaining their toxin by luring male Photinus Fireflies within reach by blinking back the female â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? reply of that other species.

When the males arrive, they become consumed by more than love!

ADHS Class of 2011

Redmen pride front and centre at ADHS graduation BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

The graduates proudly walked across the stage at Arnprior District High School June 29, as parents, family and friends packed the gym, including the overlooking balcony above to standing room only.

“When ADHS puts on a party, everyone comes,” principal Neil Farmer told the packed house.

“You have shown you can accomplish the goals you strive to accomplish,” Farmer told the graduating class. “You’ll remember your tall principal, awkward gym classes or forgetting your lock combination.”

Two retiring teachers with years of memories of their own to look back on were recognized, math teacher and tennis coach Heather Colbert and gym teacher and football coach Stan Ball.

Both Red Velvet and the teacher’s choir, Half Metre Voices, performed throughout the night, with the invocation by Rev. S. Stott.

The significant Governor-General’s academic medal went to Ashley Perreault, for the highest grades in the graduating class. Rebekah Pickett won the Lieutenant-Governor’s community volunteer award for her work in the community and at her church.

Two new awards were presented, the Katrina Lyman Memorial Award, given to Shelby McKeen and Shannon Roesler, by Katrina’s broth-

ers. The award was presented in memory of Lyman, who died in May 2010 as the result of a car crash.

She had spent a significant amount of time working so she would be able to pay for her post-secondary education, and her family continued her hard work this past year in order to support members of the graduating class.

The second new award presented was the ADHS Coffee House Award, which teacher Brian Reid presented to Timothy Hrkach, an active arts participant.

Valedectorian Shannon Roesler told the graduates to remember the school’s motto of “do it today, not tomorrow,” wherever their paths take them.

“Our futures are now, more than ever, dependant on us – our actions, our decisions, and what we choose to do. Although we may still act like them, we aren’t kids anymore,” Roesler said in her address.

“We actually have to think about our lives now, which begs the biggest question of them all, when did this happen?”

Diplomas were given to the large list of graduates, whose future goals, announced by Ball, ranged from military accomplishments to future diplomas and degrees from a wide range of colleges and universities to becoming a pastor.

“Whatever you choose, wherever you go, do it with all your heart,” Farmer said.

ADHS Class of 2011

Graduation 2011

Grads at St. Joe’s STAFF After an evening Mass, teachers, parents, grandparents and other supporters remained in the St. Joseph’s Catholic High School gymnasium to pay tribute to the 61 Grade 12 graduates.

It was mostly a time of joyful reflection, including the addition of retired teacher Janet O’Brien to the school’s wall of honour, and acknowledgement of the several dozens of bursary, scholarship and major award recipients.

Typically, there was a valedictorian address. Atypically, it ended on a musical note as valedicatorian Collin Carnegie of Calabogie picked up his guitar and invited his graduating friend, Jonathan LeGris, to join him at the podium for a reflective song about benefiting from life’s experiences.

Of the 61 graduates, 17 were named Ontario scholars for receiving grades of 80 per cent for their top six Grade 12 courses.

The Ontario scholars were Audrey McMann, Kerry Keyes, Jonathan LeGris, Matthew Tse, Natalie Walters, Shelby Whalen, Ashley Stroud, Erica Reddy, Collin Carnegie, Laura Hagerman, Caroline Holley, Madison Wren, Nicholas Mosco, Stacy MacGregor-Dennique, Katie Troutman, Mary Werre and Lily Freemark.

The last honour of the evening went to Janet O’Brien, who retired as a teacher last year, after spending 31 of her 35-year teaching career at St. Joseph’s. She joined 14 other wall of honour recipients for the inspiring impact she had on so many students.

About 300 Renfrew County students are taking part once again in summer school literacy and numeracy courses and credit programs under the principalship of Shelley Montgomery and Brennan Trainor.

Courses are offered to elementary students from Kindergarten to Grade 8 to enhance their reading and math skills.

Secondary students can take advantage of the Credit Recovery Program to obtain missed credits in courses such as English, math and science, or to complete credits in a Co-operative Education/Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program.

“We are very pleased to offer our secondary students the ability to attend summer school to address any credit deficiencies they may have,” said Trainor.

“Using a blended learning model we hope to assist our students in achieving success, through a process they would otherwise not have had available.”

The Summer School program runs from 8:30 to 11:45 a.m. daily until July 28.

It is funded by the Ministry of Education as part of its literacy initiative to support student achievement.

JOHN XXIII ONE OF THE SITES The provision of customized transportation to the seven summer school locations throughout the county is key to making the program successful for all students.

Sites this year include John XXIII Catholic School in Arnprior, St. Joseph’s Catholic High School in Renfrew, Bishop Smith Catholic High School and Holy Name Catholic School in Pembroke, Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School in Pet-

awawa, St. John Bosco Catholic School in Barry’s Baym and St. James Catholic School in Eganville.

Ninety Grade 4 students from across the county are also participating in the board’s new, weeklong Crusaders’ Camp July 5–8 at Bishop Smith Catholic to learn about Catholic high school programs and services.

Students are divided into six groups with colour-coded t-shirts and tutors to lead them through sessions such as woodworking, computer technology, indoor athletics and HILA science program. A fun pizza lunch/wrap-up party will end the program on a high note.

“This innovative pilot program will allow students to get a taste of a good variety of the programs that we offer at our Catholic high schools,” commented Montgomery.

The school board is also conducting a summer research project through the Ministry’s Council of Ontario Directors of Education (CODE) funding to investigate and support education research.

Evidence on reading levels will be collected initially from all students at two RCCDSB school sites.

Later, summer school student results will be identified and compared to regular student reading levels to demonstrate the benefits of the summer school program in reducing gaps in student achievement.

Additional benefits of conducting this research project include funding for tutors and support staff as well as a recreational component. “Our goal is to provide programs and support to increase student achievement with our Summer School program,” said Montgomery.

Music lovers from the Ottawa Valley and both sides of the border will converge on the Johnston Farm on County Road 20 in Castleford for the 2011 Valley Bluegrass Festival this weekend.

The 17th annual three-day event runs Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Concert times are Friday from 5 to 11 p.m., Saturday 10:15 a.m. to 11:45 p.m. and Sunday 10:15 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Friday’s features include local artist Dennis Harrington’s fiddle and step show, and Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver of Tennessee.

ARNPRIOR BLUES A band with Arnprior roots is playing Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest. Brothers Chaffey will perform on the Hard Rock Stage from 2:45 to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 16. Led by brothers Matthew, who was born in Arnprior, and Curtis Chaffey, their sound is described as a combination of genres, most notably the rhythm and blues of Matthew’s vocals and the country rock in Curtis’ telecaster twang. Bluesfest runs for 12 days July 5 to 17 at Lebreton Flats Park in Ottawa near the Canadian War Museum. Above, the Brothers Chaffey play at Finnigan’s in Renfrew with bassist Dave Macdonald and drummer Nick Diak.

Celtfest returns for 15th year New repairs and security to concert tent DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Git ’yer kilt on for The Rogues.

The winners of the first ever Battle of the Celtic Bands competition will be the headliner act at this year’s Almonte Celtfest this weekend (July 8 to 10).

The group describes itself as a cross between the 78th Fraser Pipe Band, the Waterboys, the Chieftains, the Rolling Stones and the Dave Matthews Band, with the backing of a symphonic orchestra.

With that Celtic wall of sound behind them, is it any wonder that one of their songs was included in the Christopher Walken film Kill The Irishman this year? Now you can see them for yourselves as the headline act July 9 at Gemmill Park.

“It’s very powerful stuff,” said organizer Jim Mountain of the band’s sound. “You can picture guys in kilts coming over the hill,” like something out of the movie Braveheart.

Another big name on the Celtic scene who will entertain is Julie Fitzgerald, who can reportedly play two fiddles at once.

Even with big name talent such as this, Mountain is quick to point out that 90 per cent of the talent on stage for the weekend will be local.

“It’s to showcase our local talent,” said fellow organizer Ryan Guthrie, of the 150 performers slated to attend.

“The Ottawa Valley is so rich with music traditions,” said Mountain. “I liken it to Cape

Breton. They’ve done a great job preserving it. People here take it for granted.”

Celtic performers, however, are not letting their music, or skills, stagnate.

“It’s not stuck in time,” Mountain said of modern Celtic music.

“People are composing their own tunes … it’s a living thing.”

Mountain added that he would like to see more recordings put out by local Celtic performers to preserve their sound for prosterity, and to broaden its appeal.

The Almonte Celtfest is celebrating its 15th anniversary, and Mountain remembered a particular turning point in the festival’s history when famed traditional Irish performer Tommy Makem drew more than 5,000 spectators.

“That tipped it into the next level,” said Guthrie. “Performers started approaching us to play, so we soon ran out of room,” and had to expand.

The festival started from afternoon performances that drew a few hundred people, which had been pulled off in about two weeks, to a full two days worth of performances, with many offshoot activities, attracting thousands to Almonte.

Celtfest starts off with a bit of a musical pub crawl in both Almonte and Carleton Place on Friday, July 8, starting at 8 p.m. at all locations. Corkery Road will play at The Barley Mow, while Cratur will play at St. James’ Gate in Carleton Place. Other locales still firming up line-ups are J.R.’s Downstairs Pub, Naismith Sports Pub, and elsewhere.

The Dick Smith/Mike O’Reilly Band from Virginia, Nova Scotia’s Spinney Brothers, Monroe Crossing of Minnesota, Acoustic Blue of Massachusetts, and Leon Morris & Associates of Virginia will also take to the stage throughout the weekend. General Store, Rhyme ‘N’ Reason, the Backwoodsmen, and Ducharme Family are also a part of the festivities.

Tickets are available at varying prices at the gate all weekend.

Nine fatalities in province mar Canada Day fun

One dead in Highway 417 rollover JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A driver from Richmond is dead after a single-vehicle rollover on the east bound Queensway east Arnprior in the late morning of Tuesday, July 5.

The vehicle hit the median and rolled on the eastbound lanes of Highway 417, west of the Kinburn Side Road exit.

Paramedics said the man had no vital signs when they arrived at the scene. He was later identified as Carson Rennick, 63.

“When paramedics arrived he was still trapped in his vehicle, there was severe damage to his vehicle,” said J.P. Trottier, spokesperson

for the Ottawa paramedics.

“Paramedics were able to access him … and determine he had no vital signs.”

Because of the extent of the damage to the vehicle and the position in which the man was trapped, paramedics were unable to perform resuscitative measures, he added.

Firefighters began the extrication process just before 11:30 a.m., then had to stop pending a police investigation into the death.

There were no passengers in the vehicle.

Ottawa Provincial Police closed the eastbound lanes of the highway between County Road 29 and Kinburn Side Road until about 8 p.m.

The collision in under in-

A man is dead after a single-vehicle rollover on the east bound Queensway east of Arnprior in the late morning of Tuesday, July 5.

Submitted photo vestigation and the OPP is asking anyone who has information about the accident to contact them at 613-270-9171.

During the three-day Canada Day weekend, the OPP investigated nine fatalities in Ontario.

There were seven deaths involving motor vehicle collisions, one fatal boating incident and one fatal ATV crash. The total is five fewer than the 14 fatal incidents that occurred in 2010 during a four-day span.

OPP officers also laid 7,560 charges under the Highway Traffic Act, up significantly from the same period one year ago, but over a shorter duration.

There were 102 impaired driving and over-.08 mg charges, 163 marine offence charges, and 7,560 charges under the Highway Traffic Act, including 63 racing charges where drivers had their vehicle impounded for seven days.

Fatal crashes on rise in Eastern Ontario, warns OPP An increase in fatal collision is a concern for the OPP, Eastern Region, prompting them to issue a reminder last week that safety is everyone’s responsibility.

Since then, the number of dead has risen with three fatal crashes on Highway 17, one just west of Kinburn Tuesday, another west of Cobden and a third near Petawawa, as well as a motorcycle fatality Monday at the

Calabogie MotorSports Park. Furthermore, a crash on River Road at the Four Corners in Chenaux has left a woman clinging to life.

In 2010, the OPP in Eastern Region investigated 17 fatal crashes between Jan. 1 and June 27.

As a result, 17 people died; seven for not wearing a seatbelt properly, four from being ejected from the ve-

hicle and one from alcohol consumption.

In 2011, between Jan. 1 and June 27, 23 people have died in 20 fatal crashes.

Police report that five can be attributed to improper seatbelt usage, resulting in four people being ejected, and there were four collisions where alcohol consumption was a factor.

OPP Acting Staff Sgt. Jeff Smith and Sgt. Rob Croth chat with police services board member June Timmons at a recent meeting.

Cops urged to rein in need for speed DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Who stops the cops from speeding?

Well, the cops do.

That was the message from Lanark County OPP during the Mississippi Mills police services board June 7, after Pakenham ward Coun. Denzil Ferguson asked about speeding by emergency vehicles, such as police cars.

“In Pakenham, we see a lot of emergency response vehicles,” Ferguson said, because the town is so close to Highway 417 and the main roads to White Lake. “I know that there seems to be some excessive speeding when there is a response to an emergency.”

OPP Sgt. Rob Croth responded that, under the Highway Traffic Act, police and ambulance drivers are allowed to break the speed limit in emergency situations. “(But) the onus is on the police officers to operate his or her vehicle safely,” said Croth. “That officer is accountable for his actions.”

OPP acting Staff Sgt. Jeff Smith added that all police squad cars now carry monitoring devices that can record how fast the car was going and when.

“When our cars are in a collision, it’s an automatic download” from that device, Smith said.

If an officer is found to have been driving recklessly, “they will be charged just like a member of the public,” said Smith.

While time is of the essence when an officer is responding to an emergency situation, it is up to the individual officer, not his or her superiors, to determine the appropriate speed of the car.

“We don’t direct them as a supervisor to go faster or slower,” said Smith. In fact, during a high-speed pursuit, for example, chases may be called off because of potential danger to pedestrians and other vehicles on the road.

“Today, as opposed to five, six years ago, the speeds are far less (squad cars drive at ) a significant lower speed than 10 years ago because of the downloads,” said Smith. “The accountability is pretty high right now.”

The age of an officer also plays a part in speeding police cars.

“It’s often the younger guys who are doing it,” said Croth.

But he did caution that while police cars do travel at high speeds sometimes, perception is an important factor.

“There is the perception that you’re going (fast) with the engine revving and lights going,” said Croth, whereas in reality the speed is not as fast as a pedestrian may believe it to be.

Croth’s own wife saw her husband driving by one day, and commented to him later just how fast he was going. How fast was he really going? Only 90 km in an 80 zone.

Another time, Smith recalled that he took members of Carleton Place town council out on to the street to see a passing police car that was driving by with its lights on, then asked the councillors to estimate just how fast the car was actually going.

“Everybody was way over,” said Smith.

If the OPP and other police departments in the province have a problem with an officers driving, there are methods to handle it.

“The officer can only drive to his or her ability and we do a lot of training to find that,” said Smith. If an officer’s abilities need to be strengthened, “we send them away … for training.”

One of the challenges is getting younger officers getting used to driving bigger vehicles at greater speeds.

“They grow up driving Honda Civics and then they’re thrown into a Tahoe and told to drive at 160 km,” said Smith.

“They’re encouraged to drive their comfort level.”

The two officers also brought the committee up to speed on causes of crashes for non-emergency speeding vehicles.

“On fatals (fatal collisions) we’re looking for cell phones and they’re usually on the (vehicle’s) floor,” said Croth, who added that police can tell when the cell was last used, and how it was being used, either for texting or as a phone. “The young people are 100 per cent addicted to it,” Croth said of cell phones.

“It’s not unusual to pull a car over because someone is reading,” added Smith.

“Or, they have their DVD players up on the dash,” and they are busy watching a movie instead of the road.

Keeping fleas under control IAN STUPP Pet Talk

Although there are over 2,000 species of fleas, the most common is the cat flea and is found on both cats and dogs.

Fleas are responsible for a variety of problems from simple itching and infection to allergic skin reactions and tapeworm.

The females always lay their eggs on your dog or cat. Once on your pet, the adult fleas feed vigorously but digest only a small percentage of ingested blood.

The remaining ingested blood is excreted back onto your pet in the form of black fecal matter commonly known as flea dirt (looks like black pepper).

Feeding stimulates egglaying while on your pet and in just 30 days 10 fleas can multiply into 250,000 fleas.

The small white eggs do not adhere to skin or hair but fall freely off your pet to contaminate bedding, flooring, carpeting, dog beds even your vehicle if the pet has been transported in it during the infestation.

The adult flea represents only a small percentage of the infestation present in your home. The vast ma-

jority of the flea population is actually either in the egg, larval or pupae stage which cannot bee seen. Effective elimination of fleas requires control at all levels of the life cycle.

If you have a flea infestation, you must treat both your pets and your home.

Flea infestation is a vicious cycle. Before you can effectively control and eradicate the fleas, you must understand a little about their life cycle.

In just 15 days the flea life cycle is completed. In 30 days 10 fleas can multiply into 250,000 fleas. If just one pet in a multiple pet home has fleas, then they could all have fleas.

To get rid of the fleas for good, you have to kill both the adult flea and their offspring.

The adult flea – Is the biting, reproducing and most annoying stage. The adult flea is the most visible and feeds on the blood of your pet(s). The average female flea lays 25 eggs per day up to 2,000 eggs in her lifetime. Adult fleas, as I stated earlier, can cause health problems ranging from tapeworm, skin disorders, infections and allergies.

Flea eggs - Fall from your pet(s) into your home and

the environment. Fleas lay all of their eggs on your pet(s). These eggs are barely visible to the human eye. The eggs do not stay on your pet(s) but fall off onto you bedding, flooring, carpeting, etc. Under optimal conditions (hot, humid weather), flea eggs can develop into the larval stage within 10 days.

Flea Larvae – The worm-like larvae settle deep within carpet fibres, in and under furniture.

Any effective treatment must control flea larvae, since they are the largest percentage of any infestation. The larvae have long spines on each segment, which allows them to cling to carpet fibre and furniture making it difficult to simply vacuum them up.

Flea Pupae – Shielded by a cocoon, no treatment can control the flea pupae.

The flea pupae are concealed in the cocoon made of carpet fibres and other debris found in your home.

Hungry adult fleas emerge from the pupae in as little as eight days.

“And God said, ‘Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.’ And it was so … And God saw that it was good.” (Genesis 1: 24-25) If you see an elephant walking down a country road near Pakenham next week, don’t worry – he’s just on a religious pilgrimage.

The Anglican Parish of Pakenham will be hosting a blessing of the animals ceremony at the Tripp family farm, 3976 Highway 17, near Antrim, on Wednesday, July 13 at 7:30 p.m.

“We don’t expect an elephant,” said Pastor David Vavasour of the event. “But if we he arrives, we will accommodate him.

All our host wants to know is who is going to clean up after the elephant.”

Vavasour has blessed many animals, from dogs and cats to lizards. He has even had people bring pictures of pets for his blessing because, for one reason or another, the pet was unable to attend. Children have also brought stuffed animals to be blessed.

“No creature is refused,” said Vavasour.

Both he and his wife are clergy and they have seen the blessing performed as far afield as Newfoundland.

“They did one of these at the diocesean cathedral,” in Newfoundland, he remembered, with the animals in amongst the people.

The blessing of the animals is a rite not exclusive to the Anglican faith, but is performed by Roman Catholic clergy and other Christian groups. The blessing has traditionally taken place on or near Oct. 5, the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals.

“It’s not a firm time, but that would be the traditional time to do it,” said Vavasour.

“It’s not a hard and fast (date). We thought that October would be a very rushed time.

In July, people would be freer.”

He promised that the ceremony would be brief, with some prayers, music and reading.

“Animals are not liturgy sitters,” Vavasour said with a laugh, adding that, if the pet allows, he tries to hold the animal as he administers the blessing. There will also be treats for animals such as carrots for horses and kibble for dogs.

While there are three churches in his parish – St. Mark in Pakenham, St. John in Antrim and St. George in Waba – he decided to hold the blessing on the Tripp family farm so as to accommodate bigger animals.

The ceremony has been a part of the Christian tradition since the time of St. Francis.

“There’s always been a case that they are a very important part of our lives … and we’re a part of their lives,” said Vavasour.

“It was felt that there was a need for a blessing of animals … It reminds us that we have to care for them and the environment.”

He pointed out it is important to remember God’s commandment that mankind should look after the animals of the world.

Proud supporter of:

John O’Neill

Hi-tech hospital partners Arnprior joins with other health care providers to modernize its record-keeping Hospitals in Eastern Ontario have a history of working together to improve the delivery of patient care and services to the clients in the region.

To this end, Arnprior District and Carleton Place and District memorial hospitals, Queensway Carleton Hospital, Bruyère Continuing Care, the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group and Montfort Hospital have embarked on implementing an electronic patient record system project entitled, CHAMP or Champlain Association of MEDITECH Partners, together.

The MEDITECH version being implemented, MEDITECH 6.0, provides significant improvements over current versions of the software, allowing for superior functionality and greater clinical utility, flexibility and ease of use for front-line care providers.

“Although each partnering hospital has its own distinctive culture, the goal for all organizations remains the same - do what is best for our patients,” says Dr. Frank Knoefel, vice-president, Medical Affairs and Health Informatics at Bruyère, Unique in Canada, once implemented, the CHAMP partnership will see end-toend care delivery.

“This collaboration project will be driven by teamwork and when we’ve finished

the implementation, the health care staff will be more efficient and in turn, we can provide a better patient experience overall,” says Michael Cohen, vice-president - Clinical Support, Information, Management and Chief Privacy Officer, Queensway Carleton Hospital.

The CHAMP project is aligned with the Champlain LHIN’s and Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care’s objective of better integrating services between health service providers.

“The simple reality is that the health care system lags well behind most other sectors in the use of technology – some say by as much as 10 years,” Alex Munter, Champlain LHIN CEO, recently said.

“As it turns out, this is good news. It means the health system can take advantage of the technological progress – the efficiency gains, the productivity gains – that have been accomplished in so many other parts of our society, our economy and in our own lives.”

Representatives from each partnering hospital are part of the various planning teams to ensure there is a true collaboration of standards as the new MEDITECH 6.0 system is built.

Bonnechere Manor complete with new auditorium SHERRY HAAIMA

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Together, we did it!

The banner hanging from Renfrew Rotary Hall, the Bonnechere Manor’s brand new auditorium, said it all.

The ribbon was cut on the 32,000 square foot facility at an event Wednesday, June 29, that brought together residents, staff, foundation members and dignitaries.

The day marked the culmination of several years of planning and hard work, said manor administrator Shayne Hoelke.

“Thank you to all the special people that helped make this day a reality,” said Hoelke.

To date, $334,000 of the $424,000 it will cost Bonnechere Manor to build the facility has been raised.

The entire cost of the facility is more than $1 million.

The county’s contribution is more than $400,000 while Pembroke’s is $190,000.

The Renfrew Highland Pipes and Drums Band lead the way for invited dignitaries and foundation members into the auditorium. Guests included RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski, Renfrew County Warden Bob Sweet, Renfrew Mayor Bill Ringrose, Pembroke

Coun. Bob Hackett and chair of the Bonnechere Manor Foundation Don Goulet.

“What a difference a year makes,” said Warden Sweet.

“This is really, really, very impressive.”

Yakabuski congratulated all involved, saying the facility would be used for many years to come and noting seniors are the backbone of our community.

He lauded the co-operation involved in the project. “Partnerships are essential in this environment if you want to get things done,” he said. “I have to take my hat off to the foundation. I guess you could say the Bonnechere Manor is now complete.”

Goulet said the efforts of the foundation surpassed anything he’s seen in 40 years of service club work.

“I have never met a more dedicated group in my life,” he said, adding there was never a shortage

of volunteers to get things done during the campaign.

Roma Wilkins, who has lived at the manor for three years, brought greetings on behalf of residents. “I would like to welcome all of you to our home,” Wilkins said. “We really needed this and now we have it and I tell you it’s used every single day. Thank you to all of you who were so kind to give us such a wonderful place.”

Special presentations included the unveiling of the name Renfrew Rotary Hall and a stainedglass Rotary logo that will hang in the hall. The club was given

naming authority after becoming the first $100,000 donor to the campaign.

Presentations were also made to the project architect, project manager and builder. The foundation and major donors were also recognized for their contributions. The 17-member foundation was praised for its efforts, which included 50 campaigns, 30 presentations to municipalities and groups and countless media appearances and interviews.

The campaign consisted of more than 2,000 individual contributions and 85 corporate and in-kind donors.

Also, said officials, the auditorium could not have been possible without the financial support of the county through the Investing in Ontario program, the City of Pembroke and the generous philanthropic contribution of $100,000 from contractor M. Sullivan and Son Ltd. Margaret Briscoe, who just celebrated her 50th year as a resident at the manor, and resident Clarence Eady, cut the red ribbon before the crowds were entertained by the resident choir and several of the winners of the recent Renfrew County Idol competition.

No money for 2-1-1 referral service STEVE NEWMAN Steve.newman@metroland.com

Renfrew County council has decided not to contribute as requested, money for the 2-1-1 information referral system launched by the Upper Ottawa Valley United Way earlier this year.

Killaloe, Hagarty & Richards Mayor Janice Visneskie, who was United Way’s honorary campaign chair for two years, was among those who backed the decision.

“It (2-1-1 is a great program … but the federal and provincial governments should come to the table,” said Visneskie. She also said she’ll

continue to lobby for that government support.

The local United Way had asked the county for seed money of $1,000 this year, after the program was launched Jan. 28 in the county. United Way was also seeking $17,600 in each of the next two years, and a three-year renewal after that.

Concerns raised by the finance and administration committee, which recommended not funding the program at this time, included the federal government’s commitment for one year, the uncertainty of long-term provincial funding, and the fact the county (through its social services department) has provided funding to develop and maintain a date base to respond to such inquiries.

Other counties that have also chosen not to support 2-11 programs in their area are the City of Kawartha Lakes, Northumberland, United Counties of Leeds & Grenville, United Counties of Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry, and Lanark.

If we could have a lifetime wish, A dream that could come true, We’d hope and pray 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’ve never wanted memories, We only wanted you.

Forever in our hearts, Bill, Charlie and Jake
