cided to table the motion to allow more discussion before any change of name and focus be entertained, particularly as the idea has reREGION ceived mixed reaction. Lang, who has been on the McNab Days organizing committee for the last four years, said the festival “needs to be shaken up, rethought, changed to appeal to a broader.CA audience.� While commending the organizers of both the Scottish Festival and Riverdrive for their “admirable� work and recognition of the need to rebrand the event, Lang suggested they and the recreation committee should implement a “new vision� for McNab Days. The week-long core of McNab Days in June would retain its heritage emphasis, but the festival could be expanded to continue throughout the summer and in various parts of the township, she said. As the Riverdrive has evolved from its focus on heritage boating and logging to encompass such activities as the Tartan Run, dockdiving dogs, parachutists and water games, it could be split off from McNab Days, Lang said.

The re-naming suggestion came from some McNab Days organizers, who argued that it would be a “more umbrella-style term� and make it easier to attract grants and sponsors. However, council de.COM

The government of Canada’s recent announcement that the National Research Universal (NRU) reactor’s operations will be extended until just 2018 is concerning, says Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon. On Feb. 6, federal Minister of Natural Resources Greg Rickford announced the extension of operations of the NRU reactor in Chalk River from Oct. 31, 2016 until March 31, 2018. Although spun as an “extension� stakeholders are saying the federal government is pulling out of the production of cancer fighting isotopes. The NRU is operated by Canadian Nuclear Laboratories Ltd. (CNL), a subsidiary of Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. It generates isotopes used to treat or diagnose over 20 million people in 80 countries every year. See EXTENSION, page 2

‘Extension’ to end with decommissioning in 2018: Rickford Continued from front

“Today’s announcement of the extension of the NRU is designed to help support global medical isotope demand between 2016 and 2018 in the unexpected circumstances of shortages, and CNL will now begin decommissioning the NRU after March 31, 2018,” says a Canadian Newswire release on the issue.

The announcement came as a surprise, said Emon. “We have known for some time that Dr. Walker (president and chief executive officer of CNL Dr. Robert Walker) and his team are trying to get the NRU license renewed from 2016-2021. It’s been a given for everyone involved in the process,” he said. “The surprise has been the

government arbitrarily deciding to suspend operations of the NRU in 2018,” he said. “Our position is that we are not deviating from our request that the federal government, provincial government and eventual successful operator still partner on replacement of the reactor.” The reactor has been important for its role in produc-

ing medical isotopes used to treat and diagnose more than 20 million cancer patients in 80 countries annually. As a neutron source, the reactor is used for research into materials, with neutrons being used to study the structure of materials and to modify their properties. The county is encouraging the federal government to pursue other opportunities for neutron production through the Go-Co process. Emon said the county would like to see a reactor that generates neutrons. “It’s a very important feature for further research, development, commercial practices, making money and facilitating employment,” he said. “I would add that further the issue is not solely laid at the door of this current version of the federal government,” said Emon, adding discussion has been taking place since the late 1980s. “Successive governments have not acted and have shown

Friday announcement

the timing of the federal government’s announcement (the press release was issued and CNL employees were given the news at the close of a business day on a Friday), the warden said he had inquired. “It was explained to me by Dr. Walker and seems to make sense that some of the companies that derive products from the NRU are traded on the stock exchange and the government didn’t want the announcement to trigger difficulties for them,” said Emon. In 2010, the federal government announced its decision to cease the routine production of molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) from the NRU in 2016. “Phasing out production over six years has allowed producers around the world to adjust accordingly,” says the release. “The global market has been diversifying and it is now projected that under normal conditions global supply will remain sufficient to meet demand.”

an appalling lack of vision,” he said. The county will continue to lobby. “We’re continuing with our efforts to inform everybody about the necessity for a new reactor,” said Emon. In January he made a presentation to the Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus (EOWC), which endorsed the information presented to the federal government. This week, Emon was expected to meet further with the EOWC and a number of provincial ministers. “After that, we will start working our way through a series of provincial and federal cabinet ministers and their staff,” said Emon. “The provincial and federal governments are not on the same page,” he said. “It may be partisan in nature.”

Other highlights from the budget include: • The town’s fire budget is up $17,000 to $561,000; • Staff recommended dropping the contribution to physician recruitment by $5,000, but council insisted on the full amount requested, a $25,000 grant, same as last year; • This council and last are big believers in planning, though it comes at a price – the official plan review comes up every five year at a cost of $55,000, and the fire master plan (which will examine ways to deal with new neighbourhoods) will cost $60,000; • Called the most important water pipeline in town, the one from the water tower under the Madawaska needs $180,000 worth of work, mostly piping and resurfacing; • A staff suggestion to buy a $22,000 marked car for the home inspector was shot down by council.

As for this year’s recreation budget, it stands at just over $1 million, about the same as 2014. The new growth has come with a new park that means new maintenance costs. This year boat launch fees will rise as the marina brought in $5,000 less than budgeted in 2014. However, on the other hand, bar revenue is up at the Nick Smith Centre. There is very little change in the Arnprior Museum budget, but the extra revenue brought in annually by curator Janet Carlile continues to impress council. “It never ceases to amaze me,� said CAO Michael Wildman. Revenue was budgeted for $22,280 in 2014, but the actual figure ended up being $38,000. Council did approve four

Arnprior will able to afford downtown revitalization and other major projects in the years to come because of an expanding tax base, town council agreed during its budget deliberations. Arnprior has been able to capitalize on the arrival of the four-lane divided highway because of infrastructure investments made a decade ago. While they may have increased the town’s debt, the expenditures to enlarge the capacity of the water and sewer plants have been crucial in being able to accommodate the growth that has Arnprior the fastest growing town in Eastern Ontario, noted Mayor David Reid. “We have some major projects we want to do ‌ and we’re excited to have the (tax) base to do it,â€? said Reeve Walter Stack. The downtown revitalization will be undertaken over the next five years, and there are also ambitious waterfront and road rehabilitation projects in the works. Major budget expenditures this year include: • $750,000 - Rehabilitating local roads and sidewalks; • $540,000 - Second Avenue reconstruction; • $508,000 - McGonigal Street West reconstruction; • $60,000 - Gary Crescent Reconstruction, Edey St. to Second Bend – design; • $50,000 - Daniel Street water main replacement, Phase 1 – design; • $272,000 - Nick Smith Centre pool overhaul (piping, resurfacing).

licing costs this year. However, Reid stressed that the $277,000 decrease from last year with the new policing formula is a one-time happening. Council shouldn’t expect further drops even though the increase levied on municipalities shouldering more of the burden of the OPP costs is being phased in over several years, he said. Municipalities, including Arnprior, will be negotiating new OPP contracts this year as they expired at the end of last year Wildman noted that Reid played an important role in the push by municipalities to make the funding formula fairer and that council had helped in reducing costs by agreeing with the merger of the Arnprior OPP detachment with Renfrew. Stack said that there may be another opportunity for administrative savings when the new consolidated OPP building in Renfrew is completed next year. Reid said it makes sense for the OPP to keep the Arnprior building open as mileage costs and lost time would be significant if Arnprior officers had to start and end their shifts in Renfrew. Council praised recreation director Glenn Arthur and his crew for keeping expenses in check in 2014 when there was no agreement with McNabBraeside to help fund Nick Smith Centre operations. “Without the McNab-Braeside agreement, it was challenging to say the least,� said Reid, “It was painful, but they (staff) did an admirable job.� He suggested that the town mount a marketing campaign to get more people back into the town’s recreation programs. It will help if summer students can

Township to pass budget

Fewer accidents equals less revenue John Carter

John.carter@metroland.com John.carter@metroland.com

McNab-Braeside council is scheduled on March 3 to pass the township’s challenging 2015 budget. It will feature a 3.84 per cent property tax levy increase on top of that collected from new assessments. Township treasurer Angela Lochtie told council at its Feb. 17 that the budget up for approval next week is unchanged from the one worked out by council during special budget meetings earlier this month. During the process council came up with savings that dropped the levy increase from 5.3 per cent after growth to less than 4 per cent.

That is a marked drop from 2014, when the levy went up 13.57 per cent to enable the council to pass a $6.3-million budget. At year’s end, there was a $71,103 surplus. 1.03% new growth

Lochtie reported that this year council has new assessment growth of 1.03 per cent with which to work. Last year, the growth was .67 per cent. What the effect the levy increase will have on the municipal tax rate will become clearer once the budget is passed at the council meeting at 7 p.m. in council chambers. The property tax bill also includes county and education portions.

Doctor of Medical Heilkunst & Dyn Blood Analysis

Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

Heilkunst Medicine Ever wondered what Heilkunst Treatment is? Maybe you’ve heard from family, friends or neighbours that they sought our treatment. Over the last ten years, we’ve helped thousands of individuals with their chronic sufferings. People who either are at the end of the rope with the conventional medical system and still have not found relief, people who have not fully recovered, people who suffer acute illnesses and those who are health conscious and understand that prevention is key, have found their way into my clinic. Heilkunst comes from the German words “heilen”, which means healing and curing and “kunst” is the art and science. Heilkunst, the art and science of healing and curing, has been around for hundreds of years. It’s three main pillars are based on natural laws and principles. 1. The law of opposites, where we identify what’s too much or what’s missing in our bodies and/or lifestyles. We “feed” what is missing and “eliminate” what is too much in order to rebalance and rebuild. This is done through lifestyle assessments as well as through our optional Live Blood Analysis. 2. The law of similars, is based on the understanding that “like cures like”. In this realm the treatment is twofold - we treat the symptoms and the underlying root causes in form of shocks and traumas as well as any hereditary influences. No symptom is gone forever, unless the root has been eliminated along the way. Otherwise it’s just a “band-aid” solution and only a matter of time when the symptoms reoccur. 3. The law of the truth, is a rather in-depth assessment and treatment in form of coaching and counselling to rid us of our deep fears, obsessive behaviors, false morals and belief systems, which may hold us captive from living the life we are meant to live. Depending on the individuals particular suffering, we’ll focus on one law or combine two or all three, in order to unfold true health. The Heilkunst treatment is very dynamic and ensures to address present challenges, past events and future desires to enable proper healing while fully embracing life. The beauty of our treatment is, that it can be used safely and very effectively complementary to any conventional medical treatment and will not affect any medications, nor will any medications minimize the results of our treatment. Testimonial You are like my MD, who takes the pain away, like a Psychiatrist, Psychologist and my Priest, all in one person. JC, Renfrew HEILKUNST IS FOR EVERYONE! When will you give it a try?

Mayors, hospital CEO speak to business crowd Business leaders heard from both mayors and the head of the Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) at a recent breakfast meeting. The town and township mayors recapped last year’s activities and highlighted others to come. The ARH chief executive officer cited goals for boosting patient satisfaction rates. Held at the local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion on Feb. 19, the meeting hosted by the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce attracted about 40 members. Arnprior Mayor David Reid was first to give a slideshow presentation detailing the town’s priorities. On infrastructure he talked about last year’s $13,000 retail study and the $31,000 spent on new highway signs that reflect the new branding. On asset management he mentioned the newer vehicle that uses lasar and vibration technology to determine the road repair priority list. Six streets were redone last year and five – totalling $1.8 million - are slated for this year, along with sidewalks. He said the recreation master plan is delayed until spring, but that the storm master plan (sewer separation work over the next few summers) is on track and a fire master plan will be done this year to include recently developed neighbourhoods. On the information technology side, Reid said computers at town hall were “hanging on by a thread” in the past, but now all servers are updated and documents have been scanned going back to the 1930s. Although the town is fully compliant with accessibility laws, council made the recommendation last year to build a new town hall – within 10 years - possibly next to the fire hall on vacant land. Reid talked about business retention measures: meeting at all locations; having more than 100 companies register on the municipality’s website; creating a Shop Local campaign. On attracting business, he talked about the revamped website including an available-property listing, a new brochure, and other work done by the economic development and marketing officer.

TOM PECKETT The town also takes advantage of multiple social media strategies, and has a magazine geared toward tourists. He mentioned the recently passed budget, and how it included no new debt but pays down $1.8 million. “It is a challenge but we will pay down $1 million in principal this year,” Reid said, “$3 million since 2010.” More than $560,000 will be contributed to reserves this year and $3.2 million spent on capital projects, including the resurfacing and re-piping of the Nick Smith Centre pool. The tax increase works out to $1.67 per month more for the average homeowner. “We think we struck a pretty good balance,” Reid concluded. McNAB-BRAESIDE

Township Mayor Tom Peckett’s presentation was considerably shorter and less detailed, considering he only won the job in October. He talked about the last council’s “step backwards” on a number of files, and how the new council seeks a better relationship with the community. “Now we are ready to move forward. We want to hear from McNab-Braeside residents,” he said. Peckett talked of his constituents as customers who bring dollars to Arnprior businesses, recreation facilities and library.

“We are an important contributor to the town’s businesses,” he said. “We are hoping that the township is going to grow now that we have an open door and more communications.” He said the demographics are changing toward younger families who “need what you folks supply to them.” He talked of a few developments that, if built, will bring more families and tax revenue and consumer spending to the area. One in particular, on Madawaska River, is a 31-lot neighbourhood of homes that range from $1 million to $1.5 million. On the proposed 200-site RV park at Clay Bank, he welcomed it as development but cautioned that council is simply considering the proposal at this point, not approving its completion. (There is resistance from area neighbours.) The township faces some of the same challenges and solutions as the town, though it offers fewer services. Both give $25,000 every year to the physician recruitment program. Another challenge is developing an asset management plan, for instance, to map spending on aging infrastructure. He said councils build parks and other amenities to attract growth but they also need to set aside money for repairs and replacement. That hasn’t been happening enough in McNab-Braeside, he indicated. “We have to put more money in,” Peckett said. “I can’t think of one building not in need of major renovations or a complete rebuild. Now, it will take more than four years to get where we need to be.” On roads, he said many are classified as “poor,” meaning they need a complete rebuild, which is four times the cost of having maintained them all along with minor repairs. Council, having recently gone through the budget process, didn’t hesitate to approve two new trucks and more equipment. The 3.8 per cent tax levy hike is a marked difference from last year’s 13.57, he said. And he warned that next year’s will begin with a 4.1 per cent increase based solely on OPP costs. However, Peckett is optimistic now that the two communities are working together on some issues. He said when town recreation director Glenn Arthur needs volunteers, they come from near and far. But there remains a border line, he jokingly indicated. “McNab-Braeside is a great place to live, followed only by Arnprior,” he said to much laughter. “We are all in this together. We are one hell of a community.”

Hire experts to do re-brand A

welcome change to McNab-Braeside council is the recognition that tax revenue is to be invested, not simply kept at a minimum. However, they ought to keep that attitude when it comes to a re-branding; don’t cheap out on this file. The best governments are not the least governments. They are those that make wise use of the money we intrust to them. When a government solves a problem the private sector can’t or won’t, and it solves it in a way that saves constituents’ time and money, they deserve our appreciation. Case in point: the township is willing to spend on road repairs in a bid to extend their lifecycle. It had to be communicated to the public in clear and concise language. If we don’t spend now, we’ll have to spend up to four times that amount to replacement them, Mayor Tom Peckett told a business crowd last week. That’s how to get reluctant folks on board with a tax hike. The same with buildings such as the Braeside RA Centre. Money was spent to build them; they help attract young families to the area; they pay for themselves through growth. The foundation for both these examples is a consultant’s report. Consultants aren’t always the best way to go. They can be used as a punch-

ing bag for those who oppose any use of taxes. It gives politicians the excuse to say, “Hey, the consultant recommended it.� However, a good consultant will offer expertise that isn’t available in-house. They will offer objectivity and a fresh perspective. And they will offer return on investment. This holds true not simply for the hard infrastructure like roads and buildings, but also for areas such as rebranding. As much as each of us may feel we have good taste and can pull off a makeover, there is good reason why rebranding and marketing consultants are out there. DIY’s are often a disaster. Consultants know what they are doing. Just ask Arnprior council. It wasn’t long ago they had the township’s idea of inviting residents to join a logo contest. It’s fine to build community spirit, but if the idea is to have a product that will draw business, you will get what you pay for. Arnprior finally figured out that it needed to hire a professional. It’s unfair, but the smaller the municipality - the more rural it is - the more it must be perceived as professional. With talk of a logo contest, and now rebranding McNab Days, an overall plan is needed. Council would be wise to put it in the hands of people who do this for a living.

MPP, MP should know Ontario does pay more to the federal government To the editor: It is unsettling to think that after well over a decade in office neither our MPP, John Yakabuski, nor our MP, Cheryl Gallant, have any idea of how the Canadian political system works. This is exemplified when Mr. Yakabuski suggested that Kathleen Wynne is wrong for claiming that Ontario receives less money from the Federal Government than we give into it. Gallant backs him up on this, but the fact of the mat-

ter is, odd as it may sound, Ontario does give more to the Federal Government than we actually get from them. Now I am working with the benefit of just finishing up a university education, studying my country, having run for political office, fought legal battles with the government, and, of course, studied public policy extensively. Our current MPP and MP haven’t been to school in some time, and while Mr. Yakabuski comes from a political family, election to a legislature does

not come with a how-to manual. What little they do understand is more than enough to bamboozle most of their constituents, who will not even have the benefit of federal or provincial political experience. They should be aware of how the system of transfer or equalization payments work, which clearly from Mr. Yakabuski’s statements in the last week they do not. Between the mid 1950s (when the program started) until 2009, Ontario never drew

Homeopathic alternatives Conservatives bungling AECL is newsworthy no substitute for vaccines Re: Canadian Nuclear Laboratories. I am simply appalled at the way our Conservative Government and Atomic Energy management has announced the closing of our Nuclear Reactor in Chalk River.

On Friday, Feb. 6 at 4:30 in the afternoon, the employees were given the news that the NRU Reactor - the means of creating medical Isotopes - is closing its doors on March 31, 2018. At the close of its business day. Late enough in the week they delivered this horrible news.

Fortunate to have humane societies To the Editor: What an exceptional article on the Arnprior Humane Society by Valerie Hemphill “Operating a no-kill shelter is a challenging taskâ€? Jan. 29. We are fortunate to have humane societies in this region that provide such professional and compassionate care for animals.   Thanks to the newspaper for allowing the public a better understanding and appreciation for the devoted work

it takes on the part of staff, volunteers and board members to run a first-class shelter for animals. The article will serve as a very worthwhile education piece about humane societies in general as well as encourage the public to assume greater responsibility for animals in their care.   Donna DuBreuil Ottawa-Carleton Wildlife Centre

Isn’t this so typical? Make sure it’s a late item so that it can be ignored or missed by most of the media. This affects so many families and just what is the impact on the county at all levels? Renfrew County Council is under the impression that the future of Canadian Nuclear Laboratories is secured. They are considering a push to have the four-lane highway from Deep River to Pembroke east continue. It would be instead of, or at the same time as, continuing from Scheel Drive. I checked the local newspapers for this news item and was very surprised to find nothing reported. Is this not news worthy in the Renfrew area? S. McWade

Distressing to hear MP, MPP Continued from page 8

Since then we’ve gotten around $17 billion a year, though we pay in more than twice as much. Which doesn’t make sense does it - which is why Queen’s Park has been trying to re-negotiate the 60-year-old agreement, so that Ontario can actually keep more of our own money and we don’t have to take such handouts unnecessarily. I know Mr. Yakabuski to be a smart man, a man who does indeed stand up for people not merely a party line. To hear him speak as ill-informed as his

To the Editor: Over the last 50 years, immunization has saved more lives than any other health measure. Vaccination is the best way to prevent serious diseases. Homeopathic alternatives, such as nosodes, are not a substitute for vaccines. There are no substitutes for vaccines. Canada boasts one of the highest immunization rates in the world at around 95 per cent. We are committed to keeping these levels high and continue to reach out to Canadians who are not yet vaccinated. We spend over $15 million per year on immunization funding. Through our efforts, the government

ensures the safety of vaccines, supports research on immunization, and promotes immunization through the National Immunization Strategy. We urge all Canadians to get their families protected by getting vaccinated. Become informed based on sound evidence and talk to your health provider. A Parent’s Guide to Vaccination and ImmunizeCA are tools to help parents make sure their kids are up-to-date on their vaccinations.

federal counterpart often does is distressing, speaking to the decrepit nature of our political system; an American style “my way or the highway.� Having three years till the next election, I suggest that our MPP pick up a political science text published after 1984. As for Mrs. Gallant - well I would suggest that she actually read the legislation her party is debating, rather than blindly follow the party line.

LETTER

Privatization not the efficient way to go for governments To the editor: A wise man once said, “History has shown that men and nations act rationally only when they have exhausted the alternatives.� If this is the case, we might say that successive Ontario governments have avoided rational action by continuously revisiting failed alternatives. In 1996 there were 60,000 ‘direct service’ employees in Ontario. These are people who are employed directly by a government to deliver its services to the public. They include, in part, environmental enforcement officers, ODSP workers, Service Ontario clerks, 911 dispatchers, conservation officers and firefighters (with the Ministry of Natural Resources) and truck inspectors. Today there are 35,000 such employees. What happened to 25,000 employees and the services they provided offers a cautionary tale. While a small number took early

retirement with their positions being declared redundant, the majority found their positions either ‘downloaded’ unto municipal governments or privatized. The latter move was not, of course, taken in a single step. Cut, then privatize

The frequently repeated procedure seems to be to cut back funding to a specific service until it cannot function at the level of proficiency expected by the public and then declare that the service in question can be delivered more efficiently by the private sector. But we have learned that privatization of government services rarely succeed and frequently fail on a monumental (and sometimes tragic) scale. For example, in the mid-1990s, the government began pressuring hospitals to restrict their own labs to in-patient testing with private labs in the community cornering the market

for all other testing. While a pilot project comparing costs between public and private labs was completed (under duress), the results were not evaluated until 2007 when a new government (also under duress) hired a firm to do the evaluation. The result? The tests done in private labs cost $11 per test more than those done in hospital labs. Nevertheless, the government eschewed value-for-money and maintains the inefficient model. The Walkerton water tragedy that killed seven and sickened 2,300 was found by the judicial inquiry to be linked to the closure of government lab facilities to communities. The private lab that tested Walkerton’s water did not report the adverse results to the Medical Officer of Health and the ministry, as would have been done as a matter of course by the government labs. This delayed the boil-water advisory that would have prevented hun-

dreds of illnesses. We should note that the 2014 Auditor General’s Report states that, 14 years after this tragedy, some of the key recommendations from the inquiry have not been acted upon. Of course, no discussion of fiscal irresponsibility would be complete without mentioning the twin health-care debacles of ORNGE and e-Health. They have, however, been extensively covered in the media and probably require no further elaboration. However it is not just in the healthcare sector that the government has dropped the ball. Highway safety was and is seriously compromised by the contracting out of highway maintenance for all of the province’s highways. Highway maintenance companies are frequently fined for failure to meet service standards, but that is after the fact and the ‘fact’ may involve fatalities resulting from corner-cutting.

But the P3 (Public Private Partnership) programme is, possibly even more pernicious. As was revealed in the Auditor General’s 2014 report, in 74 infrastructure projects financed through P3 the cost to the Ontario taxpayers was $8 billion more than if they had been publicly financed. P3 madness

Further, because of “commercial confidentiality,� the government is unable to determine how much of that was in returns to the (private) investor. Yet the government continues to embrace this mad plan. The real kicker is all those public servants who have lost or will yet lose the jobs that they do more efficiently and for less. As citizens we must protest this fiscal insanity as loudly and as often as it takes to restore some semblance of responsibility to our government. Lois A. Airth Renfrew

Seniors at Home

Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home (ABMSH) could not have asked for a better group of folks to have breakfast with when it hosted its first ‘Breakfast with Cupid’ on Feb. 14. Everyone was greeted at the Christian Edu-

One of North America’s most renowned fiddlers will be performing at the 13th annual Fiddlin’ Fiesta in Arnprior this Sunday, March 1. Area residents will have the opportunity to enjoy this iconic fiddler, Peter Dawson, along with other talented musicians Kimberley Homes of Halifax, Ursula Schultz of Shawville, Veronica Langdon of Ottawa and Alexander George of Almonte. Dawson was inducted into the North American Fiddlers Hall of Fame in 2005 and is also an inductee into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame. He has numerous CDs to his credit and has composed many fiddle tunes including reels, jigs, waltzes, polkas and rags. His compositions include Mrs. Watson’s Henhouse, Gatineau Reel, Timbertown, and Owl in the Henhouse, Valley Girl Waltz and Jordon’s Reel, among others. Dawson grew up in the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather and began to play the fiddle at the age of 5. As a teenager, Dawsn hit the road with ‘The Canadian Sweethearts’, Lucille Starr and Bob Regan, and played fiddle on Starr’s original recording of ‘The French Song’. He played the Canadian club circuit in the mid-50s, guested on Country Hoedown and other TV shows, and then joined The Skeeter Bonn Show on WWVA in Wheeling, West Virginia, subsequently becoming WWVA’s staff fiddler. During this time, Dawson also worked with U.S. star Hal Lone Pine, and did guest appearances on

The Fiddle Factory

Returning to Canada in the early 1960s, Dawson became involved in the restoration and repairing of violins. At one time, he owned and operated The Fiddle Factory in Ottawa, where he built and restored violins and other stringed instruments. He has since retired from his business; however, the store on Bronson Avenue still bears his name. He also composed and recorded many fiddle tunes. His tunes have been recorded by other fiddlers across North America and Europe. In 1978 he won the prestigious North American Fiddle Championship in Ottawa and in 1999 was inducted in to the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame. This ‘Hall of Famer’ along with the other talented folks will be performing at the Fiddlin’ Fiesta this Sunday starting at 2 p.m. for two hours of music (doors open at 1 p.m.). Tickets cost $10 and are available at the door only. This annual event is hosted by members of Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program and Arnprior Knights of Columbus with generous donations (door prizes) from the community. The emcee is Ottawa Valley musician Guy Jamieson. There will be plenty of door prizes, a 50/50 draw and refreshments available from the canteen operated by the Catholic Women’s League.

Pancakes for supper on a Tuesday The Anglican Church Women held their annual pancake supper at Emmanuel Anglican Church in Arnprior on Feb. 17. The day marked Shrove Tuesday and represents the day before Lent, which started Feb.18 and will end by Easter on April 2. Shrove Tuesday changes every year as it depends where Easter falls on the calendar. “We’ve set for 125 people, but we get well over that

amount” said ACW president Lianne Ray. She’s been involved with the Shrove supper for 18 years, but estimates it has been going on for a lot longer at the church. The meal included pancakes, sausage and beans. “We have about 23 active members,” said Ray. “We make about 18 boxes of pancakes and 200 sausages.” The church’s ACW will also host a fish fry in May, which is also well-received in the past.

“I don’t really know what to expect from the human curling. I wouldn’t want to be the rock,� laughed Patterson. White Lake Park will be a spot to check out, as there will also be hot dogs and chili available. People looking to warm up another way can also go with a soup and sandwich lunch at St. Andrew’s United Church. During the afternoon, people can check out a pond hockey challenge with the fire department and the recreation squad going up against each other. Elsa, from the popular movie Frozen and Spider-Man intend to be making an appearance at the fire hall. There will also be free shuttles and hay rides throughout the day.

It will be a full day of activities for White Lake this Saturday, Feb. 28. The winter carnival is expected to have the village buzzing. “We start off with a hearty pancake breakfast at the fire hall,� said McNab-Braeside recreation director Geoff Patterson. A charitable donation is appreciated. The Women’s Institute Hall will have its monthly market and social and also a first-ever display from the Arnprior and McNab-Braeside Archives. “We have a lot of displays we’ve shown around, but never done the yearbooks before,� said Archives volunteer John Smith. “The books will be during the 1960s-70s from the Arnprior high school. Maybe some people will recognize themselves.� People can also take part in free skating. Toboggan slides, crafts, tug of war, duck duck goose and human curling all are planned to be on the go.

Special needs athletes, the FUNdamentals program needs you. Athletes from across the Ottawa Valley are now being recruited for the program, which provides training and educational opportunities for athletes aged 7-12 with intellectual disabilities. FUNdamentals will help youth develop more sports-specific skills to assist them in future athletic endeavours. Skills that are the focus of the program include jumping, throwing, kicking, running, catching, striking, agility, balance, coordination, and sleep. “Our program goal is for each participant to have improved in one or more of the following areas: physical skill acquisition, physical fitness, social skill development, decision marking, knowledge and understanding, and a true and lasting appreciation of physical activity,� said head coach Dan Dubeau. FUNdamentals is intended as a vehicle for fostering and developing improved social, physical, and cogni-

tive abilities of young athletes, and building the foundation for future sports success. “It’s also a wonderful opportunity for participants to interact with peers in a fun environment while learning and improving upon basic motor skills,� said Dubeau.

Ford driving for the legion

Ford has a nationwide program called ‘Drive4URCommunity’ which Urban Ford in Arnprior took part back on Oct. 18. The concept is to offer test drives to the public and if people fill out a form afterwards, Ford donates $20 to a cause. Urban Ford salesman Walter Stack was pleased to present $2,200 to the Arnprior Legion on Feb. 13. Legion members Janet Tobio and Mel Porter accepted the donation, on behalf of president Harry Hereford. In the past, said Stack, Ford has given over $12,000 to local causes, such as doctor recruitment, the Neighbourlink Fountain and Arnprior District High School Special Olympics.

A.J Charbonneau celebrates the 50th birthday of Canadian flag Scott Campbell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

The date of Feb. 15 may not mean much to some, but it is a landmark day for Canadian history. After the First and Second World Wars, the Government of Canada discussed the importance of the country having its own flag. It

wasn’t until on Feb.15, 1965 when Queen Elizabeth II proclaimed an official Canadian flag was to take effect. After the federal government considered thousands of proposals from Canadians, the single leaf, red and white design was chosen. In marking the 50-year anniversary, Shelly Glover, the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages, wrote: “National Flag of

Canada Day is a time to celebrate the shared values and traditions that are fundamental to our identity as Canadians. Our flag is the most visible symbol of our strong, proud and free country, and reminds us of how fortunate we are as Canadians to live in this vast and beautiful country.� The students and staff of A.J. Charbonneau School took a brief time to go outside in the

cold to celebrate the anniversary on Feb. 17. Local veteran Leonard Spinks was the special guest for the proceedings. Student Sean Swayze was the emcee for the proceedings, while Claire Scott led the singing of ‘O Canada’ as the flag was being raised. Student Emily Labrade made a speech after. The students waved many paper lags for the finale.

The photo at left is the Canadian flag was raised as the A.J. Charbonneau students and staff sang ‘O Canada,’ led by Claire Scott. Student Emily Labrade made a speech afterwards. The flag ceremony was to honour the Feb. 15, 1965 anniversary of the red and white design becoming an official flag for the nation.

At Doyle Salewski, we help people just like you every day.

WITH

DEBT

Q: Michael is 35 and works hard. Recently, his hours were cut back and his take home pay is less than it used to be. He doesn’t have enough money to make his minimum payments and, since Christmas, has visited “payday loan placesâ€? a few times. He opened an RRSP a few years ago but stopped contributing when money got tight. He owns his home and usually pays his mortgage on time. He is worried that if he ďŹ les a bankruptcy, he will lose everything he owns. Michael is still employed and would likely be eligible to file a proposal and avoid bankruptcy. This can be determined through an in-depth, free consultation with Doyle Salewski. However, there may be more compelling reasons for Michael to strongly consider bankruptcy. The purpose of bankruptcy is to give unfortunate people a fresh financial start. Michael would be entitled to keep many of his assets. These are referred to as exempt assets. How much of a particular asset is considered exempt, or whether it is at all, will depend on provincial regulations. Here is how Michael, who lives in Ontario, would be affected: Furniture: Michael’s household furniture is exempt up to $11,600 in value. RRSPs: Michael’s RRSP is exempt except for contributions made in the 12 months immediately preceding the date of bankruptcy. Home: Michael won’t automatically lose his home in a bankruptcy. Here are some considerations he needs to keep in mind: t *G UIFSF JT OP FRVJUZ BWBJMBCMF JO UIF IPNF GPS UIF CFOFmU PG VOTFDVSFE DSFEJUPST UIF USVTUFF XJMM not take any steps to take possession of the home. Michael’s mortgage company will likely work with him, and if he’s not in arrears, will allow him to keep his home as long as he continues to make his payments. t *G .JDIBFM IBT FRVJUZ JO UIF IPNF J F IF DPVME TFMM JU BU B QSPmU IF MM OFFE UP QBZ IJT TIBSF PG UIBU FRVJUZ UP UIF USVTUFF CFGPSF UIF FOE PG IJT CBOLSVQUDZ JO PSEFS UP LFFQ IJT IPNF )F XJMM XBOU UP discuss the matter with his Trustee.

t *G IF IBT NPSF FRVJUZ JO IJT IPNF UIBO IF T BCMF UP QBZ EVSJOH IJT CBOLSVQUDZ QFSJPE IF NBZ CF able to file a consumer proposal instead of filing a bankruptcy. His Trustee will discuss this option with him. t *G IF JT BMSFBEZ JO EFGBVMU PO IJT NPSUHBHF QBZNFOUT PS GBMMT CFIJOE EVSJOH IJT CBOLSVQUDZ his lender may decide to initiate Power of Sale Proceedings to sell the property. This action is separate from the bankruptcy proceedings. Unless he surrenders the home when he files the bankruptcy, any loss incurred by the lender under Power of Sale Proceedings won’t be included in his bankruptcy. Car/Vehicle: Michael is entitled to keep one vehicle with a maximum value of $5,650. (In Quebec, there is no exemption for vehicles). Tax Refunds: Tax refunds for all years prior to the bankruptcy will be turned over to the trustee for distribution to Michael’s creditors. This includes the year in which he files his bankruptcy. (In Quebec, any provincial tax refunds are exempt and paid directly to the bankrupt) Inheritances/Lottery Winnings: If Michael is lucky enough to win the lottery or receive an inheritance during his bankruptcy, he must turn the money/property over to his trustee. If there is any money left after his creditors are paid in full + 5% annual interest + Trustee’s fees, it will be returned to him. If you are burdened with debt stress, asking for sound advice is a sign of strength and the smart thing to do. Asking sooner rather than later is always better. Call Doyle Salewski today for your free, no obligation consultation. You’ll be glad you did.

Sterling, the son of Greg and Leslie Toner of Braeside and student at A.J. Charbonneau School, died on May 27, 2011 at the age of 8.

After the short council meetings, the two mayors, both municipal clerks and library board chairwoman Susan Kirk capped off the “special occasion” by signing the agreements to formalize the “mutually beneficial partnership.” “A lot of hard work went into this,” Reid told the dozen people assembled to see the signings. “It’s an important day for both our communities.” While the deals resolve the bitter dispute that soured relations between the two municipalities last year, there is still work to be done as both deals will lapse next year. The library deal lasts for a year and the recreation agreement for 18 months. Both sides have indicated they will try to negotiate longer-term deals by this June, with Reid saying he’d like to see five-year deals finalized.

Now that the recreation and library agreements between Arnprior and McNab-Braeside have been officially revived, it’s time to explore other areas of co-operation, says town mayor David Reid. The two councils held historic dual meetings Feb. 18 in the Arnprior Public Library to officially endorse and sign the two agreements worked out in the first month of their new terms. After Arnprior council passed the bylaw approving the cost-sharing agreements for McNab-Braeside residents’ use of the Nick Smith Centre and Arnprior Public Library, Reid suggested there might be “other opportunities” for new joint initiatives between the two municipalities. Later he said it makes sense for the two to discuss possible moves in such areas as policing, fire protection, garbage disposal and economic development. “We owe it to our ratepayers to at least investigate the best ways to make savings,” he said. Reid noted that Arnprior works cooperatively with federal and provincial governments, Renfrew County and other partners, “So why not our

A.J. Charbonneau supports trifecta of causes for home and abroad Scott Campbell

A.J. Charbonneau’s 293 students, with help from staff and parents, banded together on Feb. 13 for three different causes. “It seems to be developing into a tradition,” said teacher Lisa Conway of the Friendship Feast. The spaghetti lunch was prepared by parent volunteers with Grade 8 students helping to serve. “The idea is to promote friendship.” The lunch was also a fundraiser for the school’s Maji Mradi project. The partnership with Free the Children has students raising funds towards building a clean water well for the school in a poverty-stricken area of Ghana, Africa. “Every student paid $4, some gave more. It helps cover the cost, but it was also a donation for the African village,” said Conway. According to teacher, Vicki Toner, the staff advisor who guided the “dedicated and enthusiastic” student committee running the campaign, the clean water initiative project has been happening for the last two years. “Last year we put on a school play to raise money. We had a goal of $5,000 for the well

and we have exceeded it now.” The Dougherty family was nice enough to donate $1,667 of their own money towards the cause in Ghana. “This is also about courage,” said A.J. principal Amy Johnson. “It’s the courage to connect to each other and care and help each other.” Organizers of the campaign anticipate that eventually there may be a chance for some interested AJ students to travel to Ghana and see the effects of the fundraising firsthand. Along with the well project, the school had two other initiatives in mind Feb. 13. Most staff and students were wearing purple. “We sold purple merchandise and the money will go towards mental health,” explained Johnson of the ‘power to the purple month,’ at A. J Charbonneau. The effort was undertaken with the help of Do It For Daron campaign. Some of these funds will go back to the school to help bring in public speakers, among other ideas. “Since it’s the day before Valentine’s Day, we also sold candy grams,” said Johnson. The money will be earmarked for new gym equipment.

SCOTT CAMPBELL/METROLAND

Students, above, from kindergarten to Grade 8 and parents and staff gathered in the gym for a spaghetti lunch called the Friendship Feast at A.J Charbonneau. The effort was for MAJI MRADI, which translates to ‘water project’ in the Swahili language. The school has exceeded its $5,000 goal to build a well for the African school. The event also raised money for the Do It For Daron mental health campaign. For the A.J. Charbonneau Do It For Daron (DIFD) and mental health initiative, photo at left, the Grade 6 students made a quilt full of positive quotes. The school sold purple merchandise to help with the DIFD cause. They also sold candy grams for Valentine’s Day and had a spaghetti lunch for a clean water project. R0013125214

Honey considered dangerous to infants Never add honey to baby food or put honey on a soother Health Canada issued a reminder recently that in Canada, honey is the only food that has been linked to infant botulism. Infant botulism is a rare but serious illness that is caused by ingesting the bacterium C botulinum. In the majority of cases of infant botulism, the source of C botulinum is never determined, but because honey has been linked to cases of infant botulism, parents are advised not to

feed honey to infants less than one year of age. While the botulism bacteria can’t grow or produce toxins in honey itself, they can grow and produce toxins in a baby’s intestine. Symptoms of infant botulism include constipation, weakness, a weak cry, a poor sucking reflex, irritability, lack of facial expression, and loss of head control. In some cases, the child may have trouble breathing because of paralysis of the diaphragm. If you suspect that your infant is showing symptoms of infant botulism, it’s important that you not ignore them and seek medical attention as soon as possible. Most infants with infant botulism recover completely with no lasting adverse health effects.

It has been five very long weeks since my world as I knew it went up in flames. Since that time I have reflected on what was, as I try to piece together what had been my life. It is not an easy task and little things still sometimes bring me to tears. But they are not all tears of sadness. My family and I have been completely astounded by the outpouring of support we have received from the immediate as well as from the extended community. For every tear of sadness that has been shed there has been an equal number shed in joy. That joy is from the cloak of kindness and the hearts of sympathy and understanding so many of you have sent. So today I want to say thank you: To the 911 operator. I have never been so glad to have been yelled at. Your voice kept me from going back into my house again. To the Douglas and Renfrew fire departments as well as the Renfrew paramedics. Your job is immense. To my mother Florence Eady who opened her house for two very long chaotic weeks to not only me but also to two boys and my dog Lola. Mother, you are our angel. To the Gibbons family for letting me live in Isabel’s house while I sort through my life. Bless all of you. To everyone who reached out to us with the support and kindness you gave and give. To Judy and Pam at State Farm for helping make this easier, if that’s possible. To my sister Melissa, her husband Shawn, my nieces Moira and Cassidy and my siblings Isobel and Arnold for their continued support. To Dan Jaques for your love and for the shoulder on which to lean. And special thanks to my children Trish, Naomi, Chelsey , Jasmine, Meghan and Arjen and my grandchildren Keenan, Secret, Cailum and Nyah for bringing the laughter back into my world. Through the darkness comes the light. Thank you to all for helping life shine again. Elizabeth Donohue

In loving memory of

The Broken Chain We knew that day, God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose, You did not go alone. For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide. And although we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.

The ADHS junior boysʼ basketball team continued their undefeated streak straight into the Upper Ottawa Valley High School Athletic Association (UOVSAA) championship. The semi-finals against Opeongo on Feb. 17 was an easy win for Arnprior with a margin of 45-21. The team went on to qualify for the best-of-three final series against Bishop Smith. The home game on Feb. 18 was an Arnprior win 49-40. Liam Hawel, Justin Smith and Matt Smith were the top scorers for ADHS. The junior boys managed to pull off the win and the sweep for the UOVSAA championship on Feb. 19 with a final tally of 49-33 in Pembroke. ADHS player, Justin Smith was singled out as a top scorer. Although ADHS seasons are much shorter compared to major and college leagues, a flawless season from regular-play to winning the championship doesnʼt happen very often. In the National Collegiate Athletic Association Menʼs basketball league, it was 1976, the last time a pictureperfect streak happened. Arnpriorʼs three playoff wins gives them an undefeated season in Upper Ottawa Valley play and puts them into the Eastern Ontario championships

Wednesday (after press deadline) at St. Maryʼs school in Brockville. HOCKEY

Arnpiorʼs girlsʼ hockey team advanced to the Frozen Four Finals in Petawawa on Feb. 18. The girls were able to battle past the first-place Opeongo High School in the semi-finals with a 4-2 win. Arnprior met up later in the day with Fellowes High School in the championship, but were unable to score. Fellowes won 1-0 to become the UOVHSAA Champions. VOLLEYBALL

The ADHS junior girls did fairly well on their overall season, landing in third place out of nine. The juniors played Opeongo and St. Joesphʼs on Feb. 17. ADHS won against Opeongo 3-1 but lost to eventual champion St. Joesphʼs 3-0. Arnprior managed to make it to the semi-final, but lost to Mackenzie Community School from Deep River, 3-1. St. Josephʼs ended up winning to claim the UOVHSAA championship. The senior girlsʼ volleyball team fell a bit more behind than the juniors. They lost both their games on Feb.17 to Fellowes and Renfrew and so Arnprior was unable to advance further into the playoffs.

Packers strive to win playoff series Scott Campbell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

Legend calls Friday the 13th an unlucky day. Maybe the bad luck rubbed off against the Arnprior Packers during the first game of the playoffs against the Stittsville Rams. The match-up went to overtime and Stittsville picked up the win at 3-2. John McLean and Chris Deschamps were the only scorers for the Packers. Luc Deschamps, Robert Darnowski and Cole Allard got in on assists. Stittsville’s Jordan Boutillier netted the overtime winner. Even with the loss Packers goaltender Dominic Plaschy was chosen as first star. “The game pretty much was what I expected,” said Arnprior coach Bill Griese. “Great goaltending at both ends and a very close game and we had a few good chances in overtime. In the end a bouncing puck was the difference. They caught us off guard a bit and they dictated the pace of the game.” Game two on Feb. 15 the Packers made the road trip to Stittsville. The Rams put it to the Packers again and won 3-1 to pull ahead 2-0 in the series. Dallas Farr scored the lone goal for Arnprior and Liam Killeen chipped in with the assist. Griese has been with the Packers for 13 years and put in time with Junior A and B for 20 years. He’s accumulated nearly 1,100 games with the two leagues. Despite another loss, he picked that particular game as one of the best he’s been involved in. “Both goaltenders put on a show,” he said. “Plenty of chances for both teams, it was a very fast game. (Stittsville) scored with under three minutes left on a bounce off the back boards and added an empty net goal with 40 seconds left. “We could have very easily been up two games to none.” The two teams met up the following day for an afternoon bout on Family Day for the third game. The Packers easily dominated with a final score of 5-0, which put them back in the series, down 2-1. “We got a goal in the first and that gave us the energy and momentum we needed and a few big saves from Plaschy. It started rolling for us,” said Griese. Chris Deschamps scored two goals, while Dallas Farr, Jack Rouleau and Brandon Mendham put up the rest of the tallies. Robert Darnowski, Patrick McGrath, Brayden Harvey, Isaac Perreault, James Prebble, Luc Deschamps, Cole Allard and Casey Doner were able to get points on the assists. “The game got a bit ugly after it was 5-0 with a couple of their guys being ejected,” said Griese, as the third period was heavy on penalties. “From top to bottom we’ve had outstanding efforts from all of our guys, our discipline has been good. We’re hard on pucks and getting to pucks first. It’s fun to watch and fun to be around.” Game four was back in Arnprior on Feb. 20 with the Packers hoping to carry the momentum. They did that with a final score 4-1 and tied the series 2-2.

Packers Luc Deschamps netted the first two goals. Goaltender Dominic Plaschy even picked up one assist, along with Patrick McGrath and Corey Doner to kick the score off. Patrick Aimers scored the lone goal for Stittsville. Captain John McLean and Corey Chaplin rounded out the score for the Packers. Robert Darnowski, Cole Allard, Deschamps and Plaschy picked up the helpers. “Deschamps and Chaplin scored nice goals on bounces in the neutral zone and we nursed a 3-0 lead all game,” said Griese. “I’m really impressed with our defensive play right now. There’s nothing easy right now in our end. You have to earn space on the ice plus our goaltender handles the puck like we have three defencemen out there and that never hurts.” Game five led to a bit more of a struggle for the Packers on Feb. 22. The Rams put on the pressure which led the game to overtime. The Packers managed to pull off the win for 5-4. The series is now 3-2 in favor for Arnprior. “Sometimes in playoff hockey you scratch your head and ask yourself how we won that?” said Griese. “That’s how I felt (on Sunday).” Griese add that Luc Deschamps was out with a flu bug and so was Brendan Mendham. Liam Killeen has nine stitches above his eye and was told to sit out one game. “We were short-handed to begin with, then there were a few injuries during the game and Dallas Farr’s skate broke in the first period. It didn’t look promising. “It was a character performance by some very tired boys. We got to OT and I told the guys to go for it. We don’t have momentum right now. The kids battled so hard, it was nice to see them rewarded.” Game six is back in Arnprior on Friday for the usual 8 p.m. start. Griese noted that all minor hockey players will be admitted free as long as they are accompanied by an adult. The players are asked to white jerseys to the game. If game seven happens, it goes down on Sunday afternoon in Stittsville. PACKER WITH SENS

Former Arnprior Packers MVP goaltender Erik Miksik played out a dream on Feb. 17. Last year’s Packers goalie suited up and took part in an Ottawa Senators practice. The call came from Assistant GM Randy Lee, as Miksik played with Lee’s son, Brandon, in Stittsville. The opportunity happened because of injuries to goalies Craig Anderson and Robin Lehner and someone was needed to help with the workload of another call-up, Binghamton Senators goaltender Andrew Hammond. Miksik was quoted as saying if he had the chance to do it again, he would say yes with no hesitation. RENFREW MOVES ON

The first-place Renfrew Timberwolves battled it out with the Shawville Pontiacs to move to the next round on Feb.22 at 8-2. Shawville didn’t make it easy overall, as the series went to six games.

Ice house played pivotal role on the farm The little black building on the north side of the barn had been ready since the Fall. To me, it always looked like it was about to topple over. And yet it was solid. It had no windows, and the only door was nothing more than a slit in one side, just wide enough to take a large block of ice and the body of the person sent out to get a block for the ice box. That was always my sister Audrey, or my oldest brother Everett, both of whom were considered big enough and capable of abiding by all the rules set down for going in and out of the ice house. That meant be quick about it, close the door behind you going in and coming out, and don’t forget to brush off as much sawdust off the block of ice as you can before lugging it into the house! The ice house was made ready by the Fall. For days the door was allowed to hang open, so that any remnants of the left over ice would melt and the building got a thorough chilling. My brothers would spend days shoveling out the wet sawdust and spreading it behind the silo where it rested until it rotted into nothingness. I could never understand why the sawdust couldn’t be used over and over again. But Father said the ice kept better with good dry sawdust, and besides, when the temperatures dipped way below zero, the clumps would freeze into hard and solid masses. By the last of October and into November, most of the sawing bees

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

in the Northcote area would be over. Everyone’s wood was sitting in piles in the back yards, ready to be loaded into the summer kitchen for the long cold days and nights ahead. And beside the wood, where the saw had been, there were small piles of sawdust, but there was never enough to fill the icehouses. And so, every year after the harvest was done, and Fall was crisp in the air, Father and the brothers would make trips to the saw mill where the owner was more than glad to part with however much sawdust ewanted. The wagon with the flat bottom or the sleigh depending on if we had an early snowfall, would be hitched up with the team and the job of hauling the sawdust would begin. Load after load down the Northcote side road. Load it on, and then load it off. Piled outside the ice house the mountain grew higher and higher until Father thought there was enough to do the job. This would take days, and sometimes weeks before there was enough. And the job had to be done between the other farm chores, and when the brothers were off school. So it was usually done on a Saturday

when every hand could help. As for my sister Audrey and me, there was little we could do, other than make sure the barn cats were kept out of the little black ice house. Mother lived in constant dread that a few of them would get in and burrow into the fresh sawdust and do the unspeakable, contaminating the ice that would soon line the walls and fill the floor space. And when Father thought there was enough sawdust to do the job, it all had to be moved into the icehouse. It was piled high up the walls, like pastry in a pie shell, and there would be a good foot layer on the floor. Whatever was left over was piled against one wall away from the small slit of a door. My brother Everett said this was the hardest job because there was no light in the icehouse, and everything was done by feel. Father sometimes hung a lantern on a nail from a rafter, but it did little more than cast shadows. The sawdust was clean and fluffy and gave off the most wonderful smell of freshly sawn wood, which, of course, it was. Father would check the roof to make sure it was tightly sealed and that no rain would get in. The roof slanted to the ground on one side so that the snow would slide off easily. It would never do to add moisture to the fresh sawdust before it had it came in contact with the ice. And then when the sawdust had all been moved inside, the door was shut tightly, and the wood slide lock put in place to keep everything dry until Father was ready to haul in the

ice. And then the waiting game began. The winter, I used to think was half over before Father was able to bring in the blocks of ice from the Bonnecherre River. The water had to be frozen solid and Father liked to take the blocks from the centre where it ran deepest and clearest. It was usually early January, or even into February, before Father thought the River was ready. And then when the cutting began, the blocks would be hauled up over the West Hill and across the fields to the little ice house. And one by one the entire floor would be covered with the blocks, weighing close to 100 pounds each, and then they too would be covered with the clean sawdust. And so it went, until the little house was full, each block wrapped in its winter cloak. The exercise was not to keep the ice frozen in the winter, the cold Renfrew temperatures looked after that, but to make sure that the ice would not melt over the long summer months ahead. And it was always like a miracle to me, that something as simple as covering the ice with sawdust would keep it as solid as if it had just come out of the Bonnechere. But Father, when I would ask him to explain it to me would say, a lot of things had to match up. The ice house had to be light proof, and the door small, to let in as little warmth as possible when it was opened, and the building had to be on the north side of the barn. And all those things together kept the ice from melting.

The ice house, Mother said, was the most important building on the farm, right up there in importance next to the chicken coop. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Burnstown show to celebrate Jesse Winchester’s music Mike McCormick

Jesse Winchester remained a Southern gentleman, even as he spent a large part of his life in Canada. His death last April spawned a wide range of tributes for his unique and passionate songwriting. A special concert will be taking place on Feb. 28 at the Neat Cafe in Burnstown. Jesse Winchester was born in Louisiana and raised in Memphis. He had already begun playing music when he received his draft notice in 1967. Objecting to the war, in protest he moved to Montreal where he began a new life with nothing but an electric guitar and $300. He began writing songs and was able to release his first album, “Jesse Winchester” in 1970 with the Band's Robbie Robertson acting as producer. This and subsequent releases garnered much critical acclaim but limited commercial success a pattern that continued even after he was allowed to re-enter the U.S. in 1977. “I grew up with a father who was in music, rather than a father who was a musician,” says Marcus Winchester, Jesse's son, a former Arnprior resident who will be part of the Neat concert. By the late 1980's Jesse had become disenfranchised with live performance and began an 11 year hiatus, making a living writing songs for others. They moved to a cabin in the Eastern Townships of Quebec decked out with a home recording studio. “Dad was a bit of a geek,” says Marcus, “who built his own computers and sequencers and shared his knowledge online.” Jesse laboured extensively over his recordings and at times had trouble letting go of his music. Still he was able to have his songs covered regularly by artists like Emmylou Harris, Wynonna, Jerry Jeff Walker and George Strait. A decade later he returned to live performance and Marcus was able to accompany him on some of these tours and be able to note his “mild celebrity.” Jesse has a wide range of songwriting styles. Although many of his best loved songs are heart wrenching ballads like “I Wave Bye Bye” or “If I Were Free”, he also shows his roots in Gospel and rock in songs like “Midnight Bus” or “I'm Looking for a Miracle”. What resonates throughout his catalogue is the economy of the lyrics, the beauty of the melodies, and a sadness often disguised by wit.

GRAMMY NOMINEE

In the last stages of his life he garnered even more acclaim from his peers. He appeared on Elvis Costello's television show “Spectacle” and when he got his first cancer diagnosis; a tribute album titled “Quiet About It” was recorded featuring James Taylor, Lyle Lovett, Rosanne Cash and others. His final recording, “A Reasonable Amount of Trouble” received 2 Grammy nominations. Marcus says his Dad was very touched by the response from his peers.

“A showman's life, Is a smokey bar, And the fevered chase, Of a tiny star,” from A Showman's Life Jesse Winchester Besides Marcus, the show at the Neat Cafe will feature four other noted area songwriter/performers; all veterans of the Schoolhouse Stage. Anders Drerup, who has recently moved to Burnstown was the lead in Grievous Angel, the story of Gram Parsons, as well as performing with the Claytones. Lynn Miles of Ottawa is one of Canada's most acclaimed songwriters with tunes such as “Black Flowers” and “Hockey Night in Canada”. James Keelaghan resides in Perth and is a Juno award winner for his album My Skies. His songs often deal with historical events and real life stories, put into a unique form showing his love of folk and Celtic traditions. Mike McCormick is a nuisance at the Neat; he's there every month as the host of “Soundcheck”, he's performed several times with his band the Arrogant Worms and he likes their cappuccino. It's a reflection of the power of Jesse Winchester's songwriting that so many of the most poignant tributes are from fellow songwriters. Elvis Costello, who was a fan from an early age, writes a particularly stirring one on his website closing with, “Jesse’s lessons of economy and brevity in song and grace, modesty and forbearance in life are not always examples that I have been able to apply to my own experience but his songs and our brief but valued acquaintance will travel with me always.”

February is pet dental health month Pet Talk

IAN STUPP ally is. What can a pet owner do? The first step is ensuring your pets get annual exams and that their teeth are looked at during the exam. Your veterinarian can then recommend cleanings as needed. How to brush your dog’s teeth? Start by rubbing and handling the outside of your dog’s muzzle with your fingers. Then, insert your fingers into the dog’s mouth and rub along the outside of the teeth. After a few days, when your dog is used to this, introduce

some veterinary approved toothpaste which comes in flavours like chicken or beef. Let the dog lick the toothpaste off your fingers, then gently insert your fingers with the paste into his mouth. After a few days of practice, apply the toothpaste to a special finger brush or a regular toothbrush for pets. Brush using a circular motion. The whole brushing procedure should only take about 30 seconds. Usually only the outside of a dog’s teeth can be brushed. Not many dogs will open wide enough for you to brush the inside of the tooth’s surface. Be careful not to brush young puppies’ teeth too roughly during teething, which can cause gum pain or bleeding. Reward your dog with a healthy treat afterwards to ensure brushing is regarded as an enjoyable exercise.

Did you know that about 80 per cent of pets have dental disease by the time they are three years old? Even with those statistics, dental health is often overlooked by pet owners. This is unfortunate because it has a large impact on an animal’s overall welfare and health, especially in old age. Without hands, pets rely on their mouths for playing as well as eating. Dental disease to a pet is similar to arthritic hands as well as a sore tooth in people. The consequences go far beyond the immediate pain and discomfort. Like in people, dental disease has also been linked to heart disease and diabetes in pets. Indicators of dental disease include bad breath, tartar build-up on teeth, chewing on one side of the mouth, not playing as much with chew toys, pain when a tooth is touched, one tooth with much more tartar build-up and/or discolouration, nasal discharge - usually from one nostril only and a swollen cheek or jaw. Many pet owners are not aware that it is as bad as it re-

in the community. The program offers social and recreational programs in an engaging environment and operates 4 days per week, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. The Adult Day Program further benefits the attendees, most who are in early stages of dementia, to become familiar with the Grove facility and the staff. This makes any eventual transition from their homes to the Grove much easier for them and for their family members if the client ever has to be admitted to a Long Term Care facility. The Day Program ratio is staffed at 1-4 clients. On February 13, the new ramp and entrance to the Adult Day Program officially opened. Partners in Caring funded the cost of this ramp which provides the right environment to the clients of the Adult Day Program. Caregivers or individuals who are interested in this program are encouraged to contact Tracey at 613-623-6547ext.229. Tracey will arrange for you to tour the facility, observe the activities, meet some of the staff and answer any questions or concerns you may have. The Day program carries a minimal charge of $10.00 per day which includes lunch but not transportation. Interested parties have the opportunity to choose 2 of the 4 days based on availability.
