FOOD CONFUSION Everyone wants to do the right thing when it comes to eating food that causes the least damage to ourselves and our planet. But where to start in a world of conflicting messages? 6
DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
Arnprior town council might take over the Care Coach reins in order to secure provincial grants. But the move isn’t going over well with at least one taxi company. At the Aug. 29 meeting, staff and councillors discussed a recent presentation by Dennis Harrington of the Arnprior Braeside McNab Seniors at Home Program. He suggested the town find a way to win thousands of dollars in grants for its door-to-door transportation service. The non-profit organization will pick up seniors and disabled people in specially made vehicles for $6 per person. Billed as a specialty care service - with donations to the organization raised through community events, a municipal grant, and provincial money adding up to 46 per cent of operating costs – the care coach is nevertheless considered a form of competition by some in the private taxi industry. “Everyone in town is calling it a taxi,” said A1 owner Carrie Martin. “Except they charge $6 a head; we have to charge $6 whether it’s one person or six.” Harrington insists it is not a taxi service. It provides driver criminal checks, proper insurance. “We are not here to compete with the taxi service,” Harrington said. “We’ve been here over 30 years and we are not going anywhere.

RIBS & RIMS EVENT REVS UP The inaugural of what promises to be an annual event exceeded all expectations on Aug. 26, raising thousands of dollars for the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital. Liam and Ame Watson, left, are in one of Plaintree Inc. CEO David Watson’s four cars at the Elgin Street Ribs and Rims show. The Watsons also made a generous donation. Barry Burke eagerly awaits his plate of ribs and corn at the evening event. The show sold out of 220 plates of ribs half way through, a great problem to have when you are raising money for charity.

Snowmobilers, ATVers offer help to develop rail bed STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com
Abandonment of the Canadian Pacific rail line only began this summer. But when the line is totally abandoned, District 6 of the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs would look to help advance the rail bed for recreational trail use. “We feel the corridor is a valuable asset and should stay in the public realm,” Terry Veaudry told members of the Renfrew County development and property committee Tuesday. Veaudry spoke on behalf of the Renfrew County ATV Club and as manager of the OFSC district six, which encompasses 10 snowmobile clubs, among them Whitewater Sno-Goers, Timberline, Keetna, North Renfrew (Deep River) and Missing Link. The two organizations boast a combined membership of about 1,800, with about 90 per cent of those members from Renfrew County. “With the abandonment of the CP rail corridor, our clubs wish to express an interest in seeing this corridor utilized for recreational trail use,” Veaudry told the development and property committee.
Terry Veaudry, manager of the OFSC’s District 6, addresses members of Renfrew County’s development and property committee. “We feel the corridor is a valuable asset and should stay in the public realm. The demise of the line, alone, could be to the advantage of tourism and recreation within the
county. And a multi-use recreational trail established along the corridor could once again bring economic benefit to our community. “Due to the past history of trail abandonment in this county, we feel it is important this corridor be acquired in its whole, necessitating possibly a joint effort with neighbouring counties and districts.” Those hearing Veaudry’s presentation included Brian Rook, president of the Renfrew Country ATV Club, and David Priebe, District 6 governor of the OFSC. The combined annual budget of the not-for-profit snowmobile clubs, said Veaudry is $500,000, More importantly, he said the organizations could bring valuable resources to the table, since the county has already indicated it wishes to have the opportunity to acquire the abandoned rail bed. For example, he noted the Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance (of which the Renfrew County ATV Club is a member), just received $135,000 from the Province, and that $25,000 of that was earmarked for Renfrew County. See FORMER Page 13
Continued from front “No one should have to put up with what these group of people have to put up with.” A company representative confirmed the move, but said manager Tom Jones would be the only person providing details. Jones did not return a Chronicle-Guide phone call as of press time. Moore said Miller Group has shipped a lot of aggregate and other road-making materials to the quarry for processing, but will have to move them out again. The company is expected to set up shop at a Horton Township property with few nearby residences. Moore said she had provincial environment ministry representative Brad Eckert at her doorstep Tuesday to smell the quarry odours and see the soot on her home’s siding. She said her grandchildren will not be allowed to eat from her garden, and suspects the same is true for neighbours. A group of nine nearby residents took Miller Group to court in late August. They sought $25,000 in damages and asked the judge to force the company to put in measures to reduce noise and odours. During the final days of testimony, Moore said Jones confirmed that studies showing the plant is operating properly will be made available in late September or early October. Residents and their hired hydro geological expert have waited two years to see the studies. Moore said the provincial government boasts of open and transparent processes, but pays little
heed to anecdotal evidence. “We can’t have input if they don’t give us the data. We are hamstrung,” Moore said. “Judges and the OMB (Ontario Municipal Board) will listen to experts, not residents who stand up to complain.” Asked about job losses in the area, Moore said only three township people work for Miller Group. They will move with the company, and regional truck drivers will simply pick up and drop off loads at the new location.

Arnprior to keep library talks private Sharing information up to parties involved: privacy officer DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
Arnprior Mayor David Reid said the library will not be negotiating with the Township of McNab-Braeside in the media. “We want to keep upcoming negotiations at a very high level,” Reid said. “We will not be communicating any information while negotiations are going on.” The comments came following a township public meeting where it was said the Arnprior Public Library should provide names and addresses of cardholders so the township can figure out how much it will pay. Right now it pays $55 per person. The library won’t provide the information, citing the Ontario privacy act. The township has also checked with the privacy act and maintains the information can be shared if the chief librarian is comfortable with doing so. Reid rejects the idea that open and transparent government – which he campaigned on - is at risk by holding negotiations in private, but added that the town will find out if the privacy act applies or not. Gail Puder of the Information and Privacy Commission replied by email to the Chronicle-Guide’s question: Is the information private? “I note that this is not a fact situation that our office has formally investi-
Currently, McNab-Braeside Township pays $55 per person for user privileges for residents at the Arnprior Public Library. gated, although guidance may have been sought from staff on an informal basis. Of course, every fact situation is different and it is normally not possible to provide a comprehensive response without a thorough investigation,” Puder wrote. “In general, the library would have to satisfy itself that it had the authority under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Privacy Act to disclose the names and addresses of library card holders to the municipality. One basis for doing this would be the consent of the cardholders. Absent consent, the library would likely need a valid basis to conclude that the disclosure of the names and addresses was consistent with the purposes of their original collection. “Similarly, in order to
collect the names and addresses, the municipality would need to satisfy itself that the collection was necessary to carry out its activities and that other alternatives did not exist. We simply do not have enough information to know if this is the case. “Should the library and municipality determine that the disclosure of the names and addresses was justified under the Act, we would likely recommend very strongly that notice be provided to the cardholders; for example, through public notices at the library and on library card application forms.” Renfrew Library also has an agreement with the township. Chairwoman Lynda Janney and chief librarian Bettijane O’Neill insist the information is private and cannot be shared.
Town administered care coach could bring thousands in funding Continued from front If the town takes over administration of the service, meaning it agrees to keep its books and other technical details – similar to scenarios in other Ontario towns – Town Hall gets money from Queen’s Park to grow ridership. It is unknown at this point how much could be had. Harrington said Renfrew provides $35,000 toward its care coach, and brings in between $120,000 and $180,000 in provincial dollars. But the town treasurer is cautious. “We would be formally providing that service, with them (Seniors at Home) as the service provider,” David Pollard said. “We may never get near the 75 per cent (cost of running the service) based on current expenditures.” Martin doesn’t oppose the care coach, saying it provides a needed service that doesn’t compete directly with her business. And she isn’t interested in growing her business, so seeing some potential industry customers go to the seniors at home wouldn’t cost her. However, just as libraries take away from book stores and video stores, and publicly subsidized sports programs make things tough on private fitness companies, the idea of tax dollars going toward a taxi-like service doesn’t sit well with Martin. “We don’t get no friggin’ grants or nothing. We don’t get our cars paid for or insurance or nothing,” she said. “I’d say they are a necessity to the town, but if they operate as they are supposed to, as volunteers and donations, and not as
a taxi.” How a town-run care coach would affect the local taxi industry didn’t come up during the council meeting. CARE COACH IS TOWN’S PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION Reeve Walter Stack said communities across the province are getting grants for public transportation. The care coach is the closest thing to public transportation a rural area has. “This is our public transportation,” Stack said. Coun. Lynn Grinstead asked if it would negatively affect Seniors at Home. She was told the group came to the municipality with the issue. Coun. Mark Willmer said he didn’t want to miss out on a grant if he can help it. Taxi owners remain upset at a bylaw passed a few years ago affecting them. Martin said it effectively caused the closure of one business. “They’ve just been thrown away and forgotten,” she said. Council OK’ed studying the issue more deeply to figure out costs and whether or not McNab-Braeside would like to partner with them. “We’re excited just to have council looking at it,” Harrington said. “It’s in the best interests of the town to access capital gas tax money.” He added that it will bring money back into the town, to be used in other seniors’ programing. “We’ll help the town anyway we can.”

The Arnprior and District Museum has made a host of improvements, many thanks to funding from various federal grants, so when Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant had the chance to visit recently she had the opportunity to see for herself how the funds have been spent. “We have been very fortunate with our federal grants at the museum,” said museum curator Janet Carlile. “I think the government is saying how important Canadian heritage is. Here in Arnprior, we are fortunate to be surrounded by it.” Gallant visited the museum last Thursday, Sept. 1. The Young Canada Works program helps fund the museum’s summer students, who deliver the youth program, which continues to grow in popularity. The program averaged about 80 per cent attendance for each session, held Wednesdays and Fridays in the summer with different theme days for participants. “We actually had to turn people away sometimes,” said summer student Brynn Graham. “It’s the best year we’ve had.” Funding for last year’s re-enactment of the Prince of Wales visit to Arnprior in 1860 has been put towards a new garden lining a walkway along the east side of the museum. Gallant joined museum curator Janet Carlile on the pathway that is garnering praise from visitors. “People are already using the bench, which is great,” said Carlile. It’s great to have something to commemorate the Prince and the Prior, she said. “The Prince and the Prior was really important from a historical perspective in the community,” said Carlile. Some 3,000 visitors were on hand for the event. Plants were chosen for their suitability to the location, said Carlile, noting they needed to be able to withstand the salt from nearby Madawaska Boulevard and the garden is designed to have something in bloom throughout the growing season. The museum’s disability washroom is complete, as well, another improvement Gallant was able to check out on the tour. The MP was pleased to see how many improvements have been made. “I’m very impressed with all the chang-

Renfrew-area contractor Philip Slobodzian was sentenced to 71 days in jail and his company, PSC New Home Construction Inc., was fined $90,000 for violating Ontario’s Consumer Protection Act. Between March 2009 and May 2010, Slobodzian entered into contracts to replace roofs and shingles on the properties of several Arnprior and Ottawaarea homeowners. In many of the cases, Slobodzian failed
to perform the work or removed existing shingles and siding and failed to deliver new materials. Further, he behaved in an intimidating manner with customers and failed to acknowledge their complaints. The court found Slobodzian and PSC New Home Construction Inc. guilty of engaging in unfair practices by making false, misleading or deceptive consumer representation; failing to provide consumers with a direct agreement con-
Distracted driving can result in injury or death The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), Eastern Region would like to remind everyone that safety is everyone’s responsibility. In 2010, the OPP in East Region investigated 32 fatal crashes between Jan. 1 and Aug. 30. As a result, 33 people died; 10 for not wearing a seatbelt properly, four from being ejected from the vehicle and two from alcohol consumption. In 2011, between Jan. 1 and Aug. 30, 38 people have died in 35 fatal crashes; ten can be attributed to improper seatbelt usage resulting in six people being ejected and six collisions where alcohol consumption was a factor. Distracted driving is a major factor in
many of these collisions. Drivers need to pay attention. The last long weekend of summer is upon us and drivers can expect heavily congested roadways as parents and students get ready to return to school. Only you can ensure your safety and the safety of your loved ones. Focus on driving. Be responsible, drive safe and follow good safety practices. “We will continue to enforce the law on our highways,” said Inspector Chris Lungstrass, Manager, Traffic and Marine Eastern Region. “Education and enforcement are key components, but only you can prevent unnecessary death and injuries.”
taining information required under the Consumer Protection Act; and failing to refund consumers within 15 days of being given notice of cancellation of their consumer agreements. Upon completion of his jail sentence, Slobodzian will be placed on two years’ probation. As part of his probation, he has been ordered to perform 75 hours of community service and pay restitution of $37,946 to five homeowners.
Ontario’s Consumer Protection Act provides for fines of up to $250,000 for corporations and $50,000 for individuals convicted of offences. It also provides for jail terms of up to two years less a day for each offence. The act also empowers the court to order offenders to pay compensation or make restitution to victims.

OPP and city police busy with thefts At about 1 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 1 a business on Miller Road in McNab/Braeside Township was broken into. The thief smashed a window and damaged a door. Once inside two chainsaws were stolen. Provincial Constable Chris Colton is investigating. A residence on Neilson Street in McNab/Braeside Township was broken into between Aug. 29 and Sept. 2. A TV, tools and a computer were stolen. Provincial Constable Amanda Carruthers is investigating. Extensive damage was done to the
grounds and property at Arnprior Golf Club overnight on Thursday, Sept. 1. A golf cart was stolen and recovered, but the damage done is estimated to be in excess of $10,000. Provincial Const. Mark Condron is investigating. On Galetta Side road, two large scaffolding sets had reportedly been stolen out of a complainant’s backyard sometime over the past couple of weeks. The complainant said she noticed them missing on Monday, Aug. 22 and that a vehicle had to have been used to carry them away.

These big yellow and black bumble-bees of the boulevard can certainly be aggravating, stopping at each-and-every railway stop - even lines that last saw trains decades ago - and making those scary wide turns. But for all of a school bus’s idiosyncrasies, we as motorists need to be mindful of them because of their precious cargo - our kids. It’s back to school time again in Lanark County, and the smallest of the small students are still being hammered with the message of dealing with crossing signals, keeping within sight of the bus driver, et cetera. But when they see mommy, daddy, grandpa, grandma or another trusted adult waiting for them on the other side of the road, for some kids, all of those lessons get thrown out the window. Kids live in the moment, which can be endearing, but also downright dangerous, as they dart across the road for a hug. Pardon the pun, but respect is a two-way street, and we can set an example for these wee ones, and their older classmates too, who will themselves be behind the wheel sooner than we might imagine. Seeing someone peel around a parked school bus, lights flashing, sign extended, and race off into the distance certainly sends the wrong message and not only may cost someone’s life, but may give a young boy or girl a wrong message that you can get away with cutting corners. Being a good driving example to our kids also means being more courteous on the road. We may remember the first time we saw our dad flip someone the bird for cutting him off, but repeating good road etiquette every time you get behind the wheel will last a lifetime. It’s amazing what our kids pick up, and the lessons they learn now, may well save their lives later. Whether little Johnny is crossing the road in front of you, or little Susie is watching your navigate the end-of-summer construction from her booster seat in the back, remember that you have a lot riding on your wheels.

Quarry studies need scrutiny To the editor:
Y
ou may have read my letter last week telling about the testimony in Pembroke Court of Braeside Ridge residents affected by a temporary asphalt plant; you might be interested to hear Miller Group’s defence. This week, testimony droned slowly through Miller’s representative and their experts’ studies saying the company was compliant, emissions were minimal, the company took all residents’ complaints seriously. But when Ecojustice lawyer Linda McCaffrey stood up, sparks flew. If you took the complaints seriously, why are the investigations into those complaints not before the court? If you personally never detected odours or noise off-site, why were many of those inspections done when the plant was shut down? Why weren’t a resident’s questions ever answered despite many letters sent? And so it went on. Again and again she pointed to inconsistencies, inaccuracies
Established in 1879
and outright errors. Studies are full of figures that look plausible unless carefully scrutinized. For example, one study modeled emissions at complainants’ homes with the asphalt plant stack at three different heights. Modeling is done by feeding data into a computer model, which then determines air quality. Conclusion: it didn’t really matter what the stack height was, emissions were well below Ministry standards. But when this expert was confronted on the stand with a careful inspection of the numbers by the Ecojustice environmental engineer, Dr. Elaine MacDonald, he had to admit that numbers in the scenario that was closest to the reality in the quarry, gave emissions 50-116 per cent above the others! The judge ruled that many details of one study were inadmissible because the data hadn’t all been given to the court or counsel in advance so that it could be carefully evaluated.

just wanted to take a minute to thank you for the article about the high school cafeteria in today’s paper. I have been the manager of Arnprior District cafeteria for 22 years now. I love my job, the teachers and the students of this high school. I have been very upset about the fact I won’t be there for the school’s first days… and perhaps the year. For the past 22 years I have watched these students come and go and would like to think they were all my family. I did not want the students to think that this was in any way my decision not to be there. When the provincial government announced these changes, I thought to myself ‘the high school students are not babies and surely they are old enough to make right decisions about what they eat or drink.’ For years we ran a Teen Cuisine program in the cafeteria that worked very well. Basically the healthier choices of food were made available on a daily basis so if the student did not want to eat fried food they had the choices not to. In all reality, there is no student who would eat bad choices every day; maybe once a week but don’t we all? I am in full support of a healthier diet for all. But I have raised a few teenagers myself and I know that shoving the better food down their throats will never work. They need more education on healthy eating and be allowed to make their own choice after that. There’s no harm in living it up a little on a Friday with some chicken fingers and fries. The fact that Gord’s store is right across the street with everything we can’t serve, or a pizza shop right up the road with pop and just waiting for the crowd’s of students - well you get it. It’s very unfair to say the least! For now, however, if the students want their Lunch Ladies back they will have to stand up for their rights and more than anything not be afraid to give healthier eating a try. Since none of us have a choice in the matter! Thank you again Derek for making this issue more public.

DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
An actor with an Arnprior connection starring in a new CBC series next week is something like her character: a study in contradictions. Ottawan Tommie-Amber Pirie (The Trotsky, 2009) plays Claire Webb, a ditzy secretary and single mother who is gradually revealed as the brains and stability behind a psychiatrist’s office, on Michael: Tuesdays and Thursdays. Pirie, similarly, is an ambitious and passionate actor who – while sipping an espresso at Our Place in the Prior – reveals herself to be grounded and reflective. “I live in Toronto now, but down by the beach. I love being around quiet people,” says the petite 24 year old hipster, whose father moved to town two years ago. “I have to be around everybody going a milea-minute in downtown Toronto with all cement. But I love coming out here (Arnprior) too, to be with family, and cut the grass and hear the crickets at night.” Michael: Tuesdays and Thursdays is about a driven therapist and his most challenging patient, the latter of whom falls in love with Pirie’s character. Still, Pirie says the main star of the show is not Bob Martin (co-writer of The Drowsy Chaperone); not Matt Watts (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, 2010); nor it is Jennifer Irwin (Bad Teacher, 2011); it’s not even famed Canadian director Don McKellar. The star of this smart, half-hour comedy is none other than Ottawa itself. Yes, all 12 episodes - including the pilot - were shot in and around the nation’s capital. Humour in a town renowned for uptight civil servants? Seems absurd enough to work for the offbeat minds of Martin and McKellar. “I mean, I basically grew up in Ottawa. I know about the conservative govern-
TOMMIE-AMBER PIRIE ment town. And that’s true to a point,” Pirie said. “But I think you’ll see Ottawa from a different point of view. I think you’ll see another side of it. I hope we’ve done – what do you call them? – ‘Ottawans’ proud.” Pirie orders a second espresso and twists the large curl of hair on her forehead, a-la John Travolta’s character in Grease. The contradictions continue. She is adamant about becoming a serious actor who lives for the art, yet has a delightful sense of humour. “I love food,” for instance. “I want to go to Italy and just get fat. Just huge!” She jet sets from city to city, leaving

the next day for pilot season in Los Angles, for instance. Yet is a confessed daddy’s girl. “Proud to be said daddy’s girl,” says Pirie, whose mother died of cancer when she was just 13. She is a rising star in an industry notorious for big egos. Yet she relishes opposite parts of her Canadian identity: humility as a grounding quality, and the willingness to be grateful. She won’t let a relationship get in the way of her career, but there is one man she loves to be around. “Buster-Hubble, my cat. He’s a tabby,” she says, her eyes twinkling and smile spreading. “He’s my man; happy to see me; secure, confident. Eats what I eat.” Still, regardless of the topic, she tends to bring it back to her favourite subject – making art on the big and small screen. Michael: Tuesdays and Thursdays is unique and sure to attract a wide audience, she insists. “It’s different than anything I’ve seen on CBC,” she said. Outside, on Elgin Street, Pirie is set to walk up to Robert Simpson Park. About 24 hours later she would be in the city of
lost angels, America’s second largest. Cameos on the show this first season are from fellow Ottawan Sandra Oh (ER, Sideways), Samantha Bee (The Daily Show), and the legendary Ed Asner (The Mary Tyler Moore Show). Michael: Tuesdays and Thursdays is on Wednesday nights 9 a.m., on CBC. It starts Sept. 14.

O’Leary named Liberal candidate STEVE NEWMAN
tarioway.ca. O’Leary’s news release also included a biography that referred to his “strong combination of experience at the Ontario Legislature and deep roots in Renfrew County.”
steve.newman@metroland.com
John O’Leary will be the Liberal candidate for the riding of RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke in next month’s provincial election. The Toronto resident, who has several Renfrew County relatives, announced he’ll open his campaign office in Pembroke, at 246 Pembroke St., this Saturday. “I think people in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke are pretty fair-minded and honest, and they’ll make up their mind on that,” said O’Leary, 31, of running in a riding away from home. “But I have deep Valley roots and I’m proud to have those roots,” said O’Leary in talking to The ChronicleGuide. In the same interview, he said this election is about issues that impact families. “I believe strongly in our program and in public education and great public health care and trying to create more Ontario jobs. Renfrew-NipissingPembroke would definitely benefit under an ongoing Liberal government,” said O’Leary, who is a senior education adviser to Premier McGuinty. O’Leary referred in his Wednesday news release to Tuesday’s release by Premier Dalton McGuinty of the Liberals’ election program, entitled Forward. Together. That program, said O’Leary, will “move Ontario forward and make sure Ontario families have access to the

SENIOR EDUCATION ADVISER
JOHN O’LEARY best health care and education system. Our plan will help more seniors stay in their homes; reduce tuition by 30 per cent for college and university students, and support economic development for families in eastern Ontario. “Our opponents would move Ontario backwards and put the gains Ontario families have made in health care and education at risk. I’m running so that families in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke can be assured their voices are heard at Queen’s Park on these critically important issues.” More information on the Liberal party platform can be found at theon-
In his role as senior education adviser to Premier McGuinty, O’Leary is the lead advisor to the Liberal government on all issues related to the province’s public education system and post-secondary education. “During his time at Queen’s Park, John fought hard for better publicly funded schools, better public health care, and stronger services for young people and help for struggling families and their kids to get back on their feet,” said the news release. O’Leary has also worked in the private sector with the Dairy Farmers of Ontario, the Chicken Farmers and other agricultural organizations. O’Leary’s Ottawa Valley roots trace back six generations to the 19th century when his ancestor Daniel Duggan became one of Mount St. Patrick’s earliest settlers. O’Leary also has several relatives in the area, including the Duggans of Renfrew. In their spare time, he and wife Leslie are big sports fans, especially of hockey and football. O’Leary’s campaign manager is Daniel Kennedy.
The Parkdale Party WALTER WIDLA, PRESIDENT The Parkdale Party
We are very proud and excited to announce the creation of a new political party in Ontario, The Parkdale Party. Parkdale is a community in Toronto with a diverse population and culture so the name was chosen to represent our community focus as demonstrated by our motto ‘For Communities, By Communities.’ The Parkdale Party is a grassroots movement to push the management of the province down to the riding level. Our objective is to increase the level of community involvement in the governance of the province. We believe the main problem with our current political situation is that the peo-
ple, the taxpayers, simply don’t trust our politicians. We at The Parkdale Party will fix this core problem. What this province needs, and doesn’t have, is a government that lives in the real world and understands the challenges that real people face daily. We are real people who live real people lives and we’re looking for other like-minded individuals. Now that The Parkdale Party has been formed we are looking for candidates to represent us in each of the 107 ridings in Ontario. Please visit our website www.parkdaleparty.com or email us at walter@ parkdaleparty.com for our full platform and, for the right individual, our candidate application form.

Dougherty entered the trades and expects to be fully licensed as an electrician in the near future. He has been an Eco Energy Evaluator for 2.5 years and an Energy Star for New Homes Evaluator for over a year. He uses these skills to ensure that people are making their homes healthier for the environment and for themselves. “Dougherty’s passion for politics was fed by working with Timmins-James Bay MPP Gilles Bisson as a student, the political work he did with the Child and Youth Worker Association and what he has seen happening in Renfrew-Nipissing- Pembroke and the rest of Ontario since returning to the Ottawa Valley,” says the NDP’s news release. At the nomination meeting, CUPE members Claude Venne and Chris Day, members of the County of Renfrew Paramedics, attended to express their union’s support. Immediately afterwards, Dougherty travelled with Eric Burton to Toronto where he attended a training session for new candidates while Burton, who will manage the campaign, received manager’s training. Burton was the NDP’s candidate in the spring’s federal election. Both took part in the NDP’s campaign kick-off where they heard NDP leader Andrea Horwath announce a party platform calling for taking the HST off daily essentials, replacing corporate tax giveaways with rewards for job creators and small business, cutting wait times in emergency rooms in half, and eliminating waits for long-term care and home care.

More branding feedback, please STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com
The mayor of Madawaska Valley wants input on how his municipality is branded. From a tourism perspective, that is. During the Aug. 31 meeting of Renfrew County council, Dave Shulist asked his fellow county councillors for feedback on how Barry’s Bay and other Renfrew County communities are perceived. “I’m a believer in branding,” he said, before noting that commonly-heard brands include Eganville, as the jewel of the Bonnechere River; Douglas, as the home of the leprechaun; Wilno, as the first home of Kashubian settlers in Canada; and
Renfrew, as the birthplace of the National Hockey Association, the precursor to the National Hockey League. He’d like to share the feedback with the Barry’s Bay Heritage Society. “I think it’s valuable to get opinions from the outside because every town is unique. And if we’re going to promote Renfrew County, that’s a benefit.” Arnprior, noted Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack, is going through a branding process prior to its upcoming 150th anniversary. Communities might also have brands that local residents have thought of, while other brands are perhaps more obvious, like Killaloe as home to the Killaloe Sunrise, the most popular of the internationally-known Beavertails. Shulist welcomes perceptions of how Barry’s Bay might be branded in tourism terms. Already, he and other locals have a few obvious brands in hand for Barry’s Bay. BARRY’S BAY BRANDING
Madawaska Valley Mayor Dave Shulist
First, home of the former Avro Arrow pilot Janusz Zurakowski; second, home of the Guinness Book of Records largest red oak leaf; third, the only Ottawa Valley town with a water tower from the railway era. Shulist said it’s up to the town to decide what its branding focus will be, but that it’s helpful for community leaders to receive as much feedback as possible. “When you’re living in a community you might see if differently (than those living outside),” says Shulist. “I think branding is very, very important, so I just want input.” To contact Mayor Shulist, email mayor@ madawaskavalley.ca.

In a recent news release, Brian Dougherty, the NDP’s Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke candidate for the Oct. 6 provincial election, says the status quo is not working. The family man and electrical worker from Arnprior says he ran for the nomination because he is interested in working with the community to make life more affordable, create and protect good jobs, and build health care that puts people first. “You know the status quo isn’t working for you,” he said. “You know it’s time for change. It’s your chance to demand the Ontario you want. “In this election, you can stick with the same tired ideas that you know aren’t working, that make your life more expensive, and your province less fair or you can pick change that puts people first.” Dougherty lives in Arnprior with his wife, Kim, and their daughters Samantha 7, and Sydney, 3. He is a licensed electrical apprentice working with T&K Conroy Construction, a family-run business. Born in Toronto, he went to Northern College in South Porcupine where he received a three-year diploma as a Native child and community worke After that he travelled the country and lived in Calgary for nine years. He also worked with the Child and Youth Worker Association of Alberta to get the job of CYW designated as professional by the provincial government. He and his wife moved to Arnprior almost four years ago to be close to her family.

Enhanced-funding announcement forthcoming STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com
No matter how Ontario’s plans and manages funding for health and longterm care, the current system is far superior to ones in the past. So said Alex Munter, the new chief executive officer for Champlain LHIN (Local Health Integration Network), at Renfrew County council Aug. 31. In fact, stay tuned for an announcement on enhanced funding related to transportation to health-care services, said Munter in response to a question from the audience. “What the LHIN system has done is consolidate the planning and the management of the funds (from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care), and also shifted the accountability, so my accountability is not up to the chain of bureaucracy of the Ministry of Health,” said Munter, who joined Champlain LHIN in January 2011. “My accountability is local, to the local board of citizens of our region who set the priorities. “I’ve worked in the old system and I’ve worked in the new system,” added Munter. “We (myself and chairman Wilbert Keon) both believe the new system is a big step forward from what we used to have. Now that’s not to say it won’t evolve again. “And certainly as a provincial gov-
ernment agency, it’s responsible to implement whatever decisions are made by the provincial government of the day. But I would hope whatever the future evolution of LHIN, that we build on the success we’ve been able to establish the last few years.” Greater Madawaska Mayor Peter Emon, told Munter that financial support for transportation “needs to be a huge consideration,” whether it’s related to healthcare for children or seniors, or transportation to medical appointments and day programs. “There has to be support for transportation, because transportation gets them into the services … it also allows them that independence that should allow them to stay in their homes longer.” “I totally agree with you,” responded Munter. “We’re working with our community support agencies, of which there are roughly 16 across the region, and they’ve also identified for their clients, who are predominantly seniors, the transportation issue. It’s an issue everywhere, but it’s particularly an issue in rural areas. “So we have heard that message and we are putting the finishing touches, literally back at the office, on some enhanced funding that will really improve the situation and link more people to more services, particularly
in rural areas. “It’s not entirely nailed down, and I don’t want to scoop myself,” added Munter. “Stay tuned. You won’t have to wait too much longer for the detailed information.” Munter said Champlain LHIN has three priorities for Renfrew County health-care funding. One, deliver more health care closer to home so people don’t need travel outside the county. Two, strengthen service providers. Make sure they’re strong and successful by investing to help them deliver continuity of care, said Munter. In that regard, the CEO said “huge progress” has been made in Renfrew County to provide alternatives to take pressure off the hospitals. Three, continue to provide specialized services, such as telecommunications and specialty clinics, to enhance health care closer to home. Champlain LHIN is among 14 LHINS in Ontario that is responsible for planning, coordinating and funding health services. Champlain LHIN’s funding sectors are hospitals, community care access centres, addictions and mental health agencies, community support services (such as Meals on Wheels), community health centres, and long-term care homes.

vices to residents of Nepean, Kanata and Barrhaven and result in even shorter wait times.” Dr. Wilbert Keon, chair of the board of directors for the Champlain LHIN, MRIs the greatest diagnostic imaging tool of all time. “Not only will these new machines reduce wait times for MRIs but it will also reduce the time the patient spends in the system because they will have a much more accurate diagnosis,” Keon said. Alex Munter, chief executive officer of the Champlain LHIN said the MRI at the Queensway Carleton could result in 5,600 more scans annually. “We had about 2,500 people travel-
In an effort to reduce wait times for diagnostic imaging, the province is pledging extra funds to the Queensway Carleton and Pembroke Regional hospitals for two new MRI machines. The Queensway Carleton has already budgeted $3 million for what will be their second MRI and started construction on the outer building that will house it. Pembroke Regional Hospital – which serves a catchment of 100,000 people in Renfrew County – will be raising $4.5 million to cover the cost of the machine and renovations to the facility that would house it. The two hospitals will each receive $800,000 grants annually from the province to cover the cost of running the machines. Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli called the anBAGS, nouncement an important step BELTS, forward in patient care. PARTS, “Wait times for MRIs in the Champlain LHIN (Local Health REPAIRS Integration Network) have deTO MOST creased from 79 days in April MAKES 2008 to 44 days,” Chiarelli said, & adding that it was thanks to the provincial health premium and MODELS reinvesting in health care. “The outcomes are real and Free measurable,” Chiarelli said. Estimates “The new MRI will expand ser-
ling in to have scans done,” he said, adding that the new MRI at the Pembroke Hospital will free those scans up and the new machine could have a capacity for 3,100 scans. Pierre Noel, the president and CEO of the Pembroke Regional Hospital said an MRI was the most critically missing tool in the hospital and would improve their orthopedics care. “I am delighted, but I am here to thank the province on behalf of the 100,000 residents in Renfrew County who will now have access to this type of care closer to home,” Noel said. The addition of the last two MRIs will boost the province’s number to a total of 11, according to Chiarelli.

Continued from Page 3 Veaudry referred to Renfrew County’s step in 1997 to develop an abandoned railway right-ofway policy and recommendations, including use of these railway beds for outdoor recreation. Veaudry also presented a video on the establishment of a multi-use corridor − for bikers, walkers, snowmobilers and ATVers − from an abandoned railway bed in the Tweed area. During Veaudry’s visit, committee member Raye-Anne Briscoe of Admaston-Bromley indicated that there was already a good example of a multi-use
trail between Renfrew and Calabogie, on an abandoned portion of the former K&P rail line. Also, Renfrew County Warden Bob Sweet indicated the county has already made overtures to CP about buying, and perhaps first leasing, the abandoned rail line. At the same time, Sweet indicated any development on that bed “is not going to be an overnight thing; this is going to be a long process.” Sweet says recent experience with the K&P line underlined the importance of being able to acquire all, instead of only part, of an abandoned railway line.
“The only way to make it a success is to have it (available) straight through from Smiths Falls to Mattawa,” said Sweet. Veaudry also noted that OFSC’s District 6 has about 40 years of trails management experience to “bring to the table,” and the knowledge that snowmobiling impacts local tourism to the annual tune of about $1 million. With the development of the abandoned CP rail bed as a multi-use corridor, increased snowmobile traffic would increase that number, suggested Veaudry. Already, he noted, there are

With access to the CP rail bed, Veaudry said the county would see a lot more riders, especially from the United States and eastern Ontario. “If you’re touring, it’s going to improve your ridership from eastern Ontario because we have much better access to snow (than farther south).” Veaudry indicated area snowmobiler clubs also have a history of accessing trail maintenance funding, and that such funding could be used to help develop the abandoned CP rail bed.

As previously announced, Mark Searson is taking over as principal of Bishop Smith Catholic High School in Pembroke. Searson, who joined the board in 2001, had been principal at St. Joseph’s High School since 2008.
steve.newman@metroland.com
TRAINOR SUCCEEDS SEARSON
Derek Lennox, the new vice-principal at St. Joseph’s High School. This is Enright’s first administrative posting with the board, which she joined in 2000. After receiving a Bachelor of Education and a Bachelor of Arts in sociology at Nipissing University in 2000, Enright came on board as a special education resource teacher at St. Thomas the Apostle School. In 2008, she moved to St. James School to teach junior kindergarten and kindergarten. Enright has continued to increase her educational qualifications over the years, earning a religious education specialist certificate in 2003 and her special education specialist certificate in 2007. In September 2010, she participated in principal designate training and worked as principal designate at St. James and St. Thomas the Apostle schools.
His successor is Brennan Trainor, who has been St. Joseph’s vice-principal since February 2008. Trainor has held several leadership positions since joining the school board in 1998. The other leadership team change involves Dave Noble. He leaves his post as vice-principa at St. James to become viceprincipal at Bishop Smith High School. “With these staff changes, we have a very strong team of professionals in key principal and vice-principal positions in the school board,” said director of education Michele Arbour in a news release.

Entering the new school year, there are several changes on the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board’s leadership team. One of them is Derek Lennox, who has moved into the vice-principal’s position at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School. It’s familiar territory for the Renfrew resident, who spent the last three and a half years as vice-principal of Bishop Smith Catholic High School in Pembroke. Lennox has worked for the board since 1997, when he joined the staff at St. Joseph’s to teach mathematics. In more than 10 years at the Renfrew high school, he taught business, physics, tech and religion, and served as department head for math, business and tech. A straightforward relationship with students is a key part of his educational philosophy. “Just be open and honest with the kids,” explained Lennox. “The more open and honest you can be with them, the more open and honest they can be with you.” Lennox, an avid Montreal Canadiens fan who also loves playing the national game, is married to Stephanie, who teaches at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic School. They have two children, Alexdra, 7, and Duncan, 5. One of the newest members of the school board’s leadership team is Maureen Enright of Douglas. She is the new vice-principal of St. James and St. Casimir’s Catholic elementary schools in Eganville and Round Lake respectively.

Renfrew County Plowing Match around the corner STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com
For three decades, the Renfrew County Plowmen’s Association has been organizing the county’s annual plowing match and making a big deal of it. The only year they didn’t was 1994, when they didn’t hold the county match. Instead, they helped organize the hugely successful International Plowing Match. This year the annual event comes to the farm of Ron and Shirley Kasaboski, just opposite the Queensline United Church. The entrance on Saturday, Sept. 17, will be via the Acres side road from Queensline (County Road 4), near Forester’s Falls. “It’s important because it promotes the county, and it’s a recreational family day. It’s for everyone,” said Ron Kasaboski. “That’s mainly why we got involved, to try to do something for the Valley ... because agriculture has gone downhill in the county. “It used to be one of the biggest agricultural counties (in the province) ... It was noted for everything, cattle and crops ...” Farming remains important in the county, just not to the same extent. To keep farming in the forefront, organizers have a varied schedule that will feature more than 20 new vendors of ecofriendly products, Tupperware, crafts and more. The 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. event will, of course, feature entertainment and food. FOOD, FOOD, FOOD The major entertainer will be Ray Kohlsmith’s country mu-
sic band, while food will come from several vendors in addition to meals provided by 4-H members and the Queensline United Church women. Proceeds from the plowing match will go the Forrrester’s Falls and Hayley Station fire departments, the Beachburg Fair and Cobden Fair. Proceeds from meals prepared by the church will serve as a fundraiser for the parish. The women will be cooking hamburgers and hotdogs as well as a midday $10 meal of ham, scalloped potatoes, coleslaw and pie. The 4-H members will serve a breakfast of pancakes, sausages, eggs and toast. QUEEN OF THE FURROW As always, there will be plowing matches in several categories, including elected officials, and a Queen of the Furrow contest. Awards will be presented in classes of competition for horses, tractors and furrow plows. Queen of the Furrow applicants are still invited to register by calling Donna Campbell at 613-432-5568. Applicants must be between 15 and 25. Contestants will be judged throughout the day on the way they carry themselves, their attire, their plowing abilities, a Mercury photo by Steve Newman two- to three-minute speech, plus The annual tradition of the Renfrew County Plowing Match continues this month.

Candidates debate Sept. 21 The Arnprior Chamber of Commerce is hosting an all candidates debate for the upcoming provincial election. Three candidates are registered in the riding: Liberal John O’Leary, PC John Yakabuski and New Democrat Brian Dougherty. Doors at the Nick Smith Centre open at 6 p.m. The Chronicle-Guide’s Jason Mar-
shall is moderating. The format will be the same as before starting with opening remarks from the candidates followed by questions from the audience that have been written down on paper, collected and given to the mediator to read. At the end of the evening there will be time given to the candidates for their closing remarks.
Yakabuski says that the people of Ontario deserve much better than what they’ve been getting. “People deserve to keep more of their hard-earned money, are entitled to expect better quality and efficiency in the services they need, and expect better man-
agement of the precious tax dollars they already contribute. A Tim Hudak PC government will make these a top priority after Oct. 6.” The preceding news release is from the office of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski.

Knowledge-based entrepreneurs in Ottawa and across Eastern Ontario have a new Regional Innovation Centre at their disposal. The centre is backed by the Ministry of Research and Innovation (MRI) with a minimum of $2.25 million of funding over the next three years. The new centre is an outgrowth of the success established by OCRI’s Investment and Commercialization program. Staffed by a five-person team of experienced advisors and mentors, it offers innovation and commercialization programs and services focused on guiding entrepreneurs, building companies, generating investment,
and bringing new products and/ or services to the global marketplace. “Our sweet spot is start-up and emerging companies led by one to five entrepreneurs looking to commercialize new knowledgebased products and services,” says the centre’s managing director Michelle Scarborough. “Our job is to dramatically accelerate their progress through hands-on mentorship, market intelligence, and direct access to both private and government sources of capital.” Scarborough is an experienced entrepreneur with a track record of business achievement spanning more than 18 years. As vice-president of Invest-
ment and Commercialization at OCRI since 2007, she and her team served about 180 companies in 2010. More than 30 of those companies became eligible for investment and secured $13.4 million from private and $2.6 million from public funding sources. Two of the companies are Ottawa-based Nuvyyo Inc. and Gatinuea-based CogniLore Information Solutions. Nuvyyo makes JetStreamHD, the world’s first consumer electronics product to stream digital media stored anywhere on a home computer network to the iPad. CogniLore has created an innovative new eBook solution for professional publishing companies,
“Michelle and her team have been incredibly helpful as we stick-handled the private and government funding process,” says Nuyvyo CEO Grant Hall. “With their help we received $120,000 in Federal IRAP funding, another $25,000 in seed funding from the Ontario Centres of Excellence and this timely access to funds accelerated our company’s market entry for JetStreamHD by at least six months.” “Our company has grown over 40 per cent as a result of working with OCRI’s Investment and Commercialization group since 2008,” says CogniLore CEO André Dubé. “They connected us with

product development talent at Algonquin College, helped us get our books in shape for investor presentations and recently gained us entry to a gathering of angel investors in New York City, which is the holy grail for our industry. The bottom line is we expect to grow our two-person company by 8-12 employees over the coming year. “I’d urge any entrepreneurial company in Eastern Ontario to take advantage of the new Regional Innovation Centre.” For more information on OCRI, visit the website at www. ocri.ca.

New centre promotes regional business innovation
News
Only New Democrats are willing to tackle job crisis: candidate Working people of the Ottawa Valley are being left behind, NDP candidate Brian Dougherty as he met with striking OPSEU members at Algonquin College in Pembroke. Doughtery, who will carry his party’s banner in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke riding, is an electrical worker. “The McGuinty government has forgotten us up here,” Dougherty said. “Over nine per cent of the working people here are out of work. We have one of the highest unemployment rates in the whole country and the McGuinty government does nothing for us. Neither would Tim Hudak’s Conservatives. They would take us back to the bad old days when Mike Harris ruined our public services.” With Conservative support, he said, the McGuinty government is cutting taxes for big corporations from 14 per cent to 10 per cent. “That’s going to cost the government – taxpayers like you and me – $1.8 billion and it’s just a big fat giveaway. The
big corporate executives don’t even have to promise to create jobs in return for all that cash. They can take the money and run.” Dougherty said the NDP would save the province $1.8 billion. Instead of more corporate tax cuts the New Democrats would set tax rates back at the 2010 level and that would raise the government’s revenue by $1.8 billion. “Ontario has lost 300,000 well-paying jobs in the past decade,” said Dougherty. “Economic sectors that people here depend on – forestry, farming, manufacturing – are threatened and are shedding workers. “We can’t go on like this. We need fresh thinking in Queen’s Park. Dougherty said the NDP would invest in people, supporting badly-needed infrastructure improvements and repairs that create construction jobs and help private enterprises get their products to market and at the same time the party would
reward small businesses that hire new workers. “We can do this!” Dougherty said. “If we work together and pull together in the spirit of the Jack Layton we can make this a good place to work and a great place to live.” He said the NDP would implement a Buy Ontario policy to ensure public money is spent in Ontario to create Ontario jobs. “We need to grow Ontario’s economy by rewarding companies that create jobs for Ontarians,” he said. Companies that create jobs and invest in plant, machinery, computer technology and skills training would be rewarded under the NDP’s plan, which includes lowering the small business tax rate. “It’s all about creating local jobs,” said Dougherty, “because we recognize there’s a real jobs crisis going on here.” Dougherty took some time off from a service call in the Pembroke area to visit the picket line at Algonquin College to
express support for the support workers who have gone on strike there. “It’s wrong to ask janitors and secretaries to take pay cuts while giving away tax breaks to the most successful corporations,” he said on the first day of the strike. “Their struggle is everyone’s struggle. These workers are striking because more and more of them are being pushed into part-time work due to provincial cutbacks, all to pay for corporate tax breaks. There’s a lot of this going on, and it’s a big part of the jobs crisis.” The preceding news release is from the campaign of NDP candidate Brian Dougherty. In a separate Aug. 19 news release, Dougherty dedicated his campaign to the memory of the Jack Layton, the federal NDP leader who died last month. “I want to campaign in the spirit of love, courage and optimism encouraged by Jack Layton,” he said.

The Champlain Local Health Integration Network is investing more than $730,000 in new annual funding to help people travel to health services such as seniors’ day programs and dialysis. The program will be implemented across the region in Renfrew County, North Lanark/North Grenville, Ottawa, and the Eastern Counties. It will be particularly beneficial for rural residents, who often need to travel long distances for health appointments and medical procedures. Expanding non-urgent medical transportation services is a top priority for both the LHIN and the community support agencies that deliver care. The new funds will expand existing transportation services. With an aging population and an increasing number of patients requiring treatments such as dialysis, demand for such services is growing. The Champlain LHIN’s overall strat-
egy is keep seniors healthy and independent in their own homes, and this project is an integral part of that goal. When seniors are unable to access health services, they may prematurely go to a longterm care home, or end up in a hospital emergency room. In recent years, the Champlain LHIN has placed a strong focus on improving non-urgent medical transportation. In fact, since 2008, the LHIN has purchased 10 new vans plus 10 replacement vans for residents in rural and urban parts of our region. The Champlain LHIN has also put in place new technology that assists agencies in scheduling rides and sharing vans between multiple organizations. Non-urgent medical transportation has been identified as a top concern for agencies that serve seniors. The Champlain LHIN will now be working closely with these agencies to put in place the expanded services.
“To benefit from health services, folks need to be able to access them easily, and that’s why non-urgent medical transportation is such an important issue for our region. This project shows how the Champlain LHIN collaborates with local communities and providers to find creative solutions to local health-care challenges.” says Alex Munter, Champlain LHIN CEO “The increased funding for non-urgent medical transportation will help so many of our clients, who risk being hospitalized because they simply aren’t able to travel the long distances to medical appointments on an ongoing basis. The expanded project is good news for seniors, for communities, and for the health system as a whole.” says Joanna Chisnell, chair of the Champlain Community Support Network (representing community support agencies in the region) and Manager of Community Ser-
vices at Marianhill. • The Champlain LHIN coordinates health services so that people receive the care they need and deserve in a timely manner. • Our mandate is to ensure the services are well organized, appropriately funded and meet the needs of residents of all ages. • The Champlain LHIN plans, coordinates and funds health services in the following health sectors: hospitals, home care (Champlain CCAC), addictions and mental health agencies, community support services, community health centres, and long-term care homes.

Math homework help website wins major award Praise is adding up for Homework Help, the interactive website that provides online tutoring in mathematics for Grade 7 to 10 students in the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board. The website recently received an Outstanding Achievement Award in Education from the Interactive Media Council (IMC). The IMC is an international nonprofit organization, based in the U.S., with a mission “to elevate the standards of excellence on the Internet.” The Interactive Media Awards recognize the highest standards of excellence in web design and interactive media development in various categories, includ-
ing education. The Homework Help website, which is a pilot project of the Ontario Ministry of Education, offers real-time math tutoring by Ontario certified math teachers over the Internet for 20 hours a week (from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., Sunday to Thursday) to students at 32 English-language school boards across Ontario. RCCDSB students have been using Homework Help for the last two years. Dave Noble, the e-Learning contact for the RCCDSB, says that the international recognition of the Homework Help website confirms what local students and teachers have been telling him. “The feed-
back from students, teachers and parents throughout the county has all been very positive,” said Noble. “Homework Help has been available in our board since 2009,” Noble said. “We have had 1,500 questions asked by students as of April 30, 2011, which shows that it gets a lot of use. It provides a great resource for students, teachers and parents. It helps students to keep up with classroom work and allows them to ask questions they might not ask in class.” Noble, who co-ordinates the project throughout the board, says that the website is free to all RCCDSB students from Grades 7 to 10.
Once students have registered on the website, they can log in for 20 hours a week of individualized, confidential math tutoring, from Sunday to Thursday, 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Each grade has discussion rooms where students can see what questions other students are asking, watch the tutors draw on the whiteboard and ask their own questions. They can also read commonly asked questions and watch videos of best tutorials. Other resources include math games and a virtual locker, where students can save their work. The Homework Help website is available at www.homeworkhelp.ilc.org.

Litterless Lunches THERESA PELUSO Living out in the country as we do, chances are that your school-age child takes the bus to school, and has to pack a lunch. Did you ever think about how much waste your child’s lunches can produce? Did you ever think about how much money a child’s lunch can cost, and how much you, the parent, can save by packing litterless lunches? Here’s the scoop: According to the Recycling Council of Ontario, “the average student’s lunch generates a total of 30 kilograms of waste per school year”. That adds up to 15,000 kilograms of waste per school year for a school of 500 students. Multiply 30 kilograms by 1,400,780 students (the number of elementary and secondary publicschool students in Ontario), and you get a pretty big, eye-watering number! Another website I found, WasteFreeLunches.org, which was started by two Californian mothers, has compared the cost of a child’s disposable lunch versus a litterless lunch. In both cases, the lunch consists of an egg-salad sandwich, one yogurt, a granola bar, an apple, and carrots and dip. The disposable lunch includes three plastic bags, a juice pouch, a plastic spoon, and a paper napkin. The litterless lunch includes water, a cloth napkin, and a stainless steel spoon. The disposable lunch adds up to $4.02
per day, compared with $2.65 for the waste-free lunch. That’s a saving of $1.37 per day, or about $260 per year. If you have two children, you will have saved the equivalent of 18 admission tickets to the biggest water park in the Ottawa area, the cost of four nights for two at a nice hotel, or 20 tickets to an NHL game. So how do you go about packing a wastefree lunch? Easy! First, you need reusable containers, either rigid plastic, or plastic bags you’ve saved – bread or milk bags are great. (In addition to using the larger milk bag, I rinse and re-use the smaller transparent milk bags inside.) You’ll also need a thermos or drink bottle for water, juice, or soup, plus a cloth napkin and a stainless-steel spoon or fork. You’ll need to spend a little more time transferring yogurt, cheese, dips, etc. from their original containers, and there will be a little more washing up to do when the lunch box comes home, but you’ll end up saving money, cut down on our province’s need for new landfill sites, and reduce the amount of packaging that needs to be manufactured. The Recycling Council of Ontario sponsors a Waste-Free Lunch Challenge to help schools to reduce the amount of garbage they produce, and to educate everyone involved about waste reduction. This year the challenge takes place during the week of October 17 – 23. Contact your child’s school and encourage them to participate.
To All the River HS Teachers, I just want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your dedication and committment to helping our students succeed. Keep up the good work! Principal Warren

Rhoddy’s Bay angler lands rare fish DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
A rare fish caught in the Ottawa River will soon be on display at an Arnprior fishing store. Ken Harvey and friend Doug Prince in mid August were fishing from a boat in Chat’s Lake, close to their Rhoddy’s Bay homes, when Prince felt the jolt. “It almost pulled him off the high seat,” Harvey said. “The rod bent right down. He just about went in.” Turns out Prince pulled in a fresh water drum, also known as a Sheep’s head. The carp-like bottom feeder weighed in at 16 pounds, 19 inches. With huge scales and fat lips with pink fins, the drum is less than a pretty fish. And Harvey and Prince have no idea what it tastes like, either, opting to send it a taxidermist in Pembroke instead. The only other fresh water drum caught in the area is now in an Ottawa museum. It came in at 20 pounds. Prince used a jig and live worm as bait on 15-pound test line. The fish will be at Towey’s Bait and Tackle on Madawaska Street in the coming weeks.

Fiddlin’ frenzy 8th annual Fiddlefest draws more than 300 people SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com
“The Ottawa Valley is a hotbed of Canadian fiddling,” says Calvin Vollrath. And Vollrath should know. In August, the Albertan was inducted into the North American Fiddlers Hall of Fame. Vollrath, a regular judge at the Canadian Grand Masters fiddling championship in Pembroke, was in Arnprior last week for the 8th annual Fiddlefest, a fundraiser for Valley Heritage Radio. “I’ve been coming to the
Ottawa Valley for almost 20 years now. It’s kind of like a second home to me,” said Vollrath, a resident of St. Paul, Alberta. And it’s not just the tried and true Valley musicians that impress Vollrath each time he visits, “It’s just wonderful to see the youngsters,” he said. While the final tally’s not in, Heritage Radio operations director Bill Parker said the event was a huge success and funds raised exceed last year’s total. “Having fiddlers like Calvin Vollrath join us is just a huge honour,” said Parker.
“He’s the king of Canadian fiddling.” Station officials are thrilled with the event’s continued success. More than 300 people were in attendance, said Parker. “We want to thank all the fiddle fans in the Valley for making it successful,” said Parker. Morning host Andrew Cartwright has been with the station seven months and he agrees with Vollrath about the calibre of talent in the Valley. “It’s unbelievable,” said Cartwright, who previously worked at a similar station in Montreal. There, the local content was played because it had to be, he said. “Up here, it’s actually good,” he said. Valley Heritage Radio president Vic Garbutt expressed his thanks to the many talented performers who took to the stage in support of the station. “These people are doing it

for fun, not for profit,” said Garbutt, adding the crowds enjoy the variety of music – from the young up and comers to the seasoned favourites. Neil and Sheila Dalton say Fiddlefest is among their favourite events of the year. “I’ve been waiting for this dance - we never miss it,” said Neale, who headed to the dance floor again and again with Sheila, his wife of 62 years, even though his mobility is somewhat restricted because of health issues. “It’s just so much fun,” said Neale.

Start the school year off right by driving safely as school buses get kids to class next week. Drivers can keep children safe by:stopping and never passing a school bus when its red lights are flashing as children hop on or off the bus. Obeying the rules of the road and watching for children, especially in school zones. Keeping a safe distance and avoiding blocking dedicated school bus areas so children have space to enter or exit the bus. Stopping for pedestrians at crosswalks and school crossings. Parents can also do their part to keep their children safe by reminding them of the importance of staying safe on school buses. QUOTES “Back-to-school season is an exciting time for parents and children, but it’s also a great opportunity for drivers to refresh their knowledge of the rules of the road. We can keep children safe around schools and buses by being safe drivers - slow down, look up and prepare to stop when the red lights are flashing.” – Kathleen Wynne Minister of Transportation “School bus safety is something that everyone needs to be aware of; it’s not just bus drivers and students who should know the rules, but also parents and motorists. With the large num-
ber of students transported by school bus every day it is important that these rules are reviewed periodically to ensure safety throughout the school year.” – Rick Donaldson Executive Director Ontario School Bus Association QUICK FACTS Every day, more than 800,000 children ride a school bus in Ontario. Although injuries to school bus passengers are rare in Ontario, they happen most often while students are boarding the bus or crossing the street. School buses in Ontario are safer than ever since the McGuinty government made crossing arms, extra emergency windows and improved side mirrors mandatory for all buses. You can be fined up to $2,000 and six demerit points if you fail to stop for a school bus. LEARN MORE Take the time to study these tips for safe driving around schools and buses. Read about the Let’s Remember Adam campaign to raise awareness about school bus safety. What to do if you see someone illegally pass a school bus. Teach your child school bus smarts.

Town’s youth program puts out call for volunteers Youth Corner
With school comes programs, with programs comes Dances! With dances, comes volunteers and we need them! Our first Tween Dance is on Sept. 16 and we need volunteers. We are looking for new volunteers who are able to help chaperone for our dances this year. All parents must have a clear police records check and must contact Kayla regarding volunteering. We have 350 tweens attending these dances which means we have a lot of parents out there. We need your help to make these dances run. If we do not have enough parent volunteers before Wednesday, Sept. 14, then we will be cancelling the September dance. To volunteer you can contact Kayla. Thank you in advance. Are you in high school? Then we have a lot of volunteer opportunities for you this year! SPIKE VOLLEYBALL Our newest and most exciting is our Spikes volleyball program for grades 4-6. We are looking for some motivated high school students who would be interested in helping coach this program. The program starts on Oct. 20 and runs through to Dec. 22 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. We are looking at doing training the last week in September so we need names of interested volunteers prior so we can coordinate the training.
We also are looking for volunteers for our skate park committee and our Halloween Haunted Walk! Are you in high school and interested in raising funds for a revamped park? Or interested in having your say with what we should do for Halloween this year? Then contact Kayla! While talking about volunteering, we have an exciting new project this year!

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING has staying power. has selling power. With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers. Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them. That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when they’re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice that’s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.

sitic wasps often play the role of bouncers or hitmen for plants. To me the most impressive plant for defence is Bracken. This cosmopolitan fern is reputed to be the fifth most abundant plant on this planet! Bracken has three parts to its very large frond. Look for it in along edges of dry sun-drenched habitats. Many are now turning gold and brown even though they have not yet been kissed by frost. Bracken’s fronds are largely uneaten for good reason. They contain a veritable cocktail of poisons including foul-tasting tannins and enzymes that break down Vitamin B, giving horses the “bracken staggers.” Bracken is also loaded with insect growth hormones.
they are clever enough to avoid a nasty defence after they taste it only once. Spines, prickles, and thorns, which are modified branches, are easy to see as the reason for a plant’s success. Far more invisible are chemical defences. Tens of thousands of different toxins are concocted by plants and many species house dozens or even hundreds of varieties. Some chemicals give an animal a bad experience, such as a foul taste. Others make it ill or even kill it. Others function by immobilizing the herbivore’s digestive capabilities or by causing its skin to react to sunlight. Still others summon in other animals to get rid of the antagonists. Carpenter Ants and para-
Ecdysones or moulting hormones allow insects to shed their exoskeleton as they grow. An overdose courtesy of Bracken messes up this development, often by speeding it up, and the creature dies. An excavated stable at Hadrian’s Wall in England, built around 100 AD, was found to contain 250,000 dead Stable Fly pupae. Entomologists surmised the fly grubs died after eating Bracken strewn over the stable floor. Last but not least in Bracken’s arsenal is cyanide. This chemical is so deadly it must be stored only as components that mix when a frond is bitten.Forget about Caesar. Hail the Bracken! The Nature Number is 613-3872503; email is mruntz@start.ca.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING gets read. gets remembered. gets results
With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers. Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them. That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when they’re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice that’s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.
To advertise, call today 613.623.6571!
