Extra, extra High school teachers call end to extracurricular protests John Carter John.carter@metroland.com

Young and old alike enjoyed a variety of activities at the McNab-Braeside Fire Department winter carnival.

Special Olympians, their family and friends gathered in Arnprior for the annual basketball tournament.

22

EMC news – Arnprior District High School athletic director Phil Moore walked off the gymnasium floor at the school last Friday with the glow of knowing the basketball team he coaches is heading to the provincial championship.

Checking his messages, he discovered that the Provincial Council of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF) had just voted to recommend its members suspend their political action related to extra-curricular and voluntary activities.

The irony of the timing of the surprise announcement was not lost on the many fans who cheered on the ADHS Redmen to a second-place finish at the Eastern Ontario AA senior boys basketball tournament and a place in next week’s provincials (see Page 19).

The end of the boycott was greeted with enthusiasm by students but wasn’t universally applauded by the teachers, many who were caught off guard by the announcement (see Page 3).

However, several extracurriculars are already shows signs of revival, including band activities at ADHS. Band students are holding a bottle drive in Arnprior this weekend to raised funds now a trip to New York is a go.

There is also talk of a possible high school hockey tournament in Renfrew and anticipation that soccer, rugby and track and field will start up in the spring as usual.

However, it’s too late for a normal season for the other winter sports and word from the school indicates it’s unlikely there will be a drama production at ADHS this spring or involvement in the Sears festival.

The public school teachers’ boycott of extracurriculars in a protest against the province’s Bill 115 shut down the regular season for the ADHS boys basketball and girls volleyball teams in mid-December.

Brothers Dale, left, and Glenn Dean, stand in Carleton Holsteins Fairburn Farm’s new milking barn during the open house Tuesday. The Dean family expressed its thanks to the community for helping out in the wake of troubles that included a silo collapse and tornado damage.

Community key factor in rebuilding farm Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

EMC news – It was the perfect opportunity to show just how far community support can go.

Brothers Glenn and Dale Dean opened the doors of Fairburn Farm – Carleton Holsteins Tuesday and showcased the farming operation that is up and running strongly following a tough few years.

In October 2010, a silo collapsed and destroyed the barn. Just over a year ago, the milking herd was moved into the new barn, which was built in the summer of 2011.

The cows had been moved to neighbouring

Hilltone Farms and Zieview Farms.

Then, in July 2011, a tornado tore through the property, destroying the structure used to house the heifers. The heifers were moved to Sneddenholme Holsteins.

“We will be forever grateful to these families for their support,” say the Deans.

Fast forward to February 2013 and the Dean brothers, along with a supporting cast of family, friends and supporters, are ready to greet visitors and show off their rebuilt operation. The sixth-generation farm at 4868 Hwy. 17 consists of 120 total head of cattle with 55 milking cows.

New Madawaska subdivision, shopping plaza moves closer to reality Patricia Leboeuf pleboeuf@metroland.com

EMC news – The owners of a large piece of property on the east side of town have received the green light for a major residential development and a shopping plaza.

This decision was made by Arnprior council after a public meeting Feb.

Restaurant Dining Lounge on Madawaska Boulevard down to the existing railway and up to the City of Ottawa’s boundary.

It is currently designated highway commercial as well as general industrial in the town’s Official Plan. A small section of this land is considered an Environmental Protection (EP) zone.

The new zoning would allow for the property to extent its highway commercial designation and rezone the rest as residential to allow for the building of new homes as well as the addition of a shopping centre.

This new designation is precautionary as plans have no been finalized.

Steve.newman@metroland.com

Public-address announcements in the next few weeks should reveal if new life will be breathed back into extracurricular activities at schools in the Renfrew County District school board.

However, don’t expect teachers to come ooding back, following the recent departure of most teachers from extracurricular activities, after protesting since December the provincial government’s use of Bill 115 to force contract agreements with the majority of Ontario schools.

So says Jeff Barber, the president of Local 28, which covers all of Renfrew County.

The provincial council of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation announced Friday (Feb. 22) that it had voted to recommend its members suspend their political action related to extracurricular and voluntary activities.

Barber, a Renfrew Collegiate Institute teacher until he became the Local 28 president ďŹ ve years ago, predicts there will be mixed response to the OSSTF provincial council’s recommendation. “Some teachers are expected to return to extracurriculars. Some will be a little more reluctant to return. They may wait to see what happens in discussions with the Province,â€? said Barber after speaking to several of the local’s 350 teachers Monday. “And there will be some that won’t want to return to extracurriculars after the way they’ve been treated by the provincial government.â€?

In a news release, OSSTF provincial president Ken Coran said: “We expect that this sign of goodwill will prompt the

government to have genuine discussions that can lead to a fair resolution to this current impasse.�

Barber said he hopes OSSTF discussions with the provincial government result in some adjustments to what has already been agreed to in contracts. The contracts run to the end of August 2014.

As OSSTF’s legislative body, the provincial council determines interim policy and approves political action for the OSSTF’s 60,000 members. The council consists of more than 150 local leaders from across Ontario.

A barometer of how many teachers in Renfrew County’s public schools will return to extracurriculars will be much clearer after the March break, and the start of the usual season for track and ďŹ eld, badminton, soccer, rugby and other sports.

Listen to school announcements as a good indicator of how busy RCI and other public high schools will be on the extracurricular scene, said Barber.

Other extracurricular events include Relay for Life, an RCI event that has been raising more $80,000 annually for the Canadian Cancer Society.

Although Barber isn’t ofďŹ cially an RCI teacher, that’s where he’d most likely volunteer his time for extracurriculars. He says he’ll wait a couple of weeks before determining the extent of his own involvement with extracurriculars.

OSSTF membership includes public high school teachers, occasional teachers, educational assistants, continuing education teachers and instructors, early childhood educators, psychologists, secretaries, speech-language pathologists, social workers, plant support personnel and university support staff.

Following Friday’s OSSTF an-

nouncement, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne said she was “glad that teachers, support staff and students across the province will once again enjoy the extracurricular activities and programs that mean so much to them.�

Wynne added: “For the past few weeks, my team and I have been meeting with our partners in the public sector and engaging in positive, frank and collaborative discussions about our shared priorities.�

In the same news release, the premier said she was conďŹ dent the government’s “commitment to fairness, consistency and respect in our conversations with OSSTF and all our partners will continue to result in real work being done for the people of Ontario.â€?

There was no boycott of extracurricular activities by teachers in the Renfrew County Catholic school board, because they had a tentative agreement in place before the Province used Bill 115 to force contracts with school boards without tentative agreements.

The Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario (EFTO) has indicated on its website that it will review its position on extracurriculars by this Friday, March 1. “We look forward to working with this new government and appreciate the respect it has voiced for its partners in public services, including teachers,� said ETFO president Sam Hammond in a news release last week. “While this commitment to respect is important, it will be the actions of the government that demonstrate what that really means. “We are pleased that the government will continue the roll-out of full day Kindergarten across the province so that all children will have equal opportunity to get the best start in life.�

some teachers upset at anyone who went against the union’s recommendation not to volunteer to be involved in extracurriculars. Some have indicated they will not resume involvement in extracurriculars until the contract imposed on them under Bill 115 expires in August 2014.

The OSSTF has emphasized that despite its recommendation, it’s still up to teachers whether they want to be involved in extra-curriculars.

Ontario’s elementary teachers are expected to decide what they are doing regarding extracurriculars by week’s end.

Teachers split on whether to return to extracurriculars While most public school teams in Renfrew County have stayed dormant, the ADHS teams restarted play in January in tournaments and an abbreviated schedule with Catholic high schools not affected by protest.

It was a relief for the players of the highly touted ADHS senior boys basketball team, as for many of whom it is the last chance to ďŹ nally qualify an ADHS basketball team for a provincial title.

Moore said his fellow teachers were respectful of his decision to keep the students’ dreams alive. However, there were

Mutual Aid drop extrication services, agreements to come Patricia Leboeuf pleboeuf@metroland.com

EMC news - By 2014, municipalities that do not provide auto extrication services will need to sign an agreement with a community that does.

The agreement will require neighboring municipalities to pay the Town of Arnprior for extrication services, said Fire Chief John Okum.

The service was removed from the Mutual Aid Plan after the Rescue Committee, composed of members of the Renfrew County Fire Chief’s Association, noted that services were not provided on a reciprocal level across the county.

The Arnprior Fire Department has been providing extrication for nearly 30 years.

Several other municipalities now also provide the service, but not all do.

Those that do not provide extrication services will have until Sept. 3, 2013 to complete an agreement with a neighboring fire department.

The limit date was chosen to ensure that proper emergency mapping can be prepared by

January 2014, said Okum.

Public safety is not at risk and the Arnprior Fire Department will continue to provide extrication services to all those in need until the end of the year, insists Okum.

“There is no impact to the town of Arnprior with this agreement with the exception that there may be changes to those neighboring us such as McNab-Braeside,” said Okum.

“Currently Arnprior does provide extrication to those beyond the border of Arnprior,” he added.

Should the Township of McNab-Braeside or other similar municipalities provide its own extrication equipment or refuse to sign an agreement, Arnprior will no longer provide services.

McNab-Braeside is also currently serviced by the Town of Renfrew.

“I guess our neighbors would have some choices,” said Okum. “They could select services from Arnprior or Renfrew or possibly a combination of both.”

The agreements’ details are currently being worked out, he added.

The concept plan did not include such a setback, but will be amended now that developers are aware of this need, Smith said.

Developers have also provided an environmental statement that demonstrates that the site would not have any impact on the wetlands.

Concerns over wildlife were brought up during the public meeting. The Macnamara wildlife trails wind behind part of the property.

There are currently regulations in place in regards of storm drain management and

fences around the railway that may help mitigate animal migration, said Smith.

The process should be completed in about two months if there are no appeals.

“At this point what the developer is asking council to consider is the highway commercial designation alongside Madawaska Boulevard and residential development closer to the back,” said Smith. “And we recognize we don’t quite know what that will be at this point.”

When a planned subdivision comes forward from a developer that outlines a specific development plan, the zoning will be amended through a public process, she confirmed.

EMC news – Crime Stoppers and the Renfrew Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) need the public’s help to solve an armed robbery in Arnprior.

On Saturday, Feb. 23 at about 4:50 p.m., the victims reported they were parked in their vehicle in the parking lot at the Arnprior Mall.

The vehicle was approached by a man who spoke with them briefly, then indicated he had a knife and demanded the cash they were holding.

A quantity of cash was stolen and the robber fled on foot into the mall. The suspect was observed getting into the passenger side of a green Ford Ranger pick-up truck in the rear parking lot.

The suspect is described as white, in his early 20s

McNab-Braeside adapts, plans to continues growth Patricia Leboeuf pleboeuf@metroland.com

EMC news - Upcoming growth within the Township of McNab-Braeside will be based on five pillars recommended by the Province of Ontario Such guidance points include economic development, social services, environmental sustainability, and culture, as well as healthy communities. Mayor Mary Campbell extrapolated on these during the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce’s Mayors breakfast on Feb. 19.

Within the past year, the most significant thing in relation to economic development has been the creation of the township’s economic advisory committee, she said.

It has already been helpful in highlighting the potential in both commercial and residential opportunities, said Campbell.

As for the upcoming year, she hopes to see at least two of the six developing subdivisions break ground. Rezoning areas for commercial properties has also been on the list.

“Certainly a lot of work in development, but we will take advantage of the Highway 17 corridor,” said Campbell.

In 2012, the Province appealed 400 of the McNab-Braeside Environment Protection (EP) zones in the township’s comprehensive zoning bylaw. It took two years of negotiations, but the number of EP zones was reduced to four.

“It (EP zones) is frequently misunderstood because it’s not about protecting the environment,” said Campbell. “It’s protecting us from natural environmental hazard. They are generally defined around slopes, wet lands or wet spots.

The message is don’t build your house too close to a slope and don’t build your house in a natural drainage waterway, she added.

With the new regulations in place, it will allow the township more of a 50/50 split in what must be done to protect the

environment and the community members as well as promoting growth, said Campbell.

An Environmental Advisory Committee will be created to this end.

That committee will help with issues such as how do we protect aquifers, how to we deal with eco regions and generally the environmental future, said Campbell.

Though many social services are carried on at the county level, council is also moving forward with the social aspect as well as the culture of the community.

Campbell has seen an increase in fundraising and cultural activities including three consecutive winter carnival weekends.

“We are getting as good as Ottawa’s Winterlude,” she said.

Traditionally, McNab-Braeside has had several good recreation facilities, but most of the faculties have been run by third parties. To become more hands-on, the township has launched new programs encouraging healthy lifestyles such as archery and public skating.

It has been tremendously popular, she said.

“It proves that there is a real appetite for healthy, affordable recreation,” said Campbell.

Adhering to provincial requirements and the Municipal Act will be done in a frugal and modest way, she added.

Caution will be taken as well to prevent unneeded or unwanted expenditures.

“As we roll out our recreational programs, you’ll see them as discreet and we will kind of do pilots and see how the community takes to it before doing significant investments,” Campbell said.

As for improvements at Red Pine Bay, the boat launch will be completed in 2013.

“We are really proud of that and we feel it will have not only recreational advantages for the community but economic development advantages as well,” said Campbell.

Strategy plan will stick to core priorities, Arnprior CAO says Patricia Leboeuf pleboeuf@metroland.com

EMC news - Focusing on long-term sustainability and keeping expenses manageable are key priorities found within Town of Arnprior’ Strategic Plan.

The town’s chief administrative officer Michael Wildman presented these priorities to the members of the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce on Feb. 19.

“The big one for us this year is (creating) a financial model that’s sustainable, that doesn’t include rate increases in taxes,” said Wildman.

“Instead of just looking at the one year, it’s looking at the 10-year forecast and planning ahead for the big expenses.”

After consulting with the community as

well as council, the plan was put in motion, he said. The goal is to enact certain core values and development priorities by 2017.

The vision is shared by most members of the community, maintained Wildman.

“We know we couldn’t do it all at once; we set them up in such a way that we can manage them better,” said he.

Looking at human resources and the town’s inner organization will be the first step, he confirmed. Several new employees have already been hired. Developing a sustainable financial model is also forecasted for 2013.

For the next few years, the town’s infrastructure will be addressed. Grants have already been applied for and acquired and more are to come.

Wildman is looking also forward to moving

EMC news - It’s time to roll out the red carpet and nominate the Arnprior area’s best businesses for the 2013 Business Achievement Awards.

The Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce invites nominations from the public and chamber members. It is an opportunity to acknowledge a business or an individual who you feel goes above and beyond in the community.

There are three categories, including large business (more than 25 employees), small business (less than 25 employees) and chamber member of the year. The business does not have to be a chamber member for the business category, but member of the year must be. There is also a President’s award, chosen by chamber

“What’s important for us is to keep people here in Arnprior,” said Wildman. “It’s about attracting new businesses, but also supporting the existing businesses that are here today.”

The strategic plan will be guiding the town in the upcoming years, but it is not completely set in concrete. It will allow for updates or priority changes as needed.

“Is it going to be the same in three years?” said Wildman. “No, we are going to be looking at it. We are going to be updating it and we are going to be doing that annually. We are going to make sure that whatever we see coming our way, we adjust.”

Wildman spoke to the chamber at its annual breakfast with the mayors event. Arnprior Mayor David Reid introduced Wildman, then let him do the talking.

forward with marketing and economic development in the upcoming years.

The revitalization of the downtown core will be a key measure to attract people to the area, he said.

“It’s got a sort of walkable sort of flavour to it,” said Wildman. “It’s not a destination like when you drive to the grocery store where you go in and come out.

“People will come downtown,” he added.

“They’ll park and walk the length, stop for coffee. They may stop at two or three shops. So we really see that as a significant anchor in our economic development in our community.”

Keeping people in the area whether to reside or explore is integral for the strategic plan’s vision. The town will focus on rebranding and marketing itself as the place to be.

Take the challenge: raising awareness for Heart health Heart Month (February) is winding down across Canada. While there was many activities to promote awareness, it is an issue that must be considered every day.

Last year, the Heart and Stroke Foundation raised just under $200 million across Canada through fundraising and with the help of 140,000 volunteers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; volunteers who want to see an end to heart disease and stroke.

By donating to and volunteering for the foundation, the public is helping to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Make Death Waitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

There have been many advancements over the years. Looking back to 1954 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that was the

year Dr. Wilfred Bigelow performed the first open heart surgery on a patient in Canada at the Toronto General Hospital.

To perform the surgery he used a technique which was established through a Heart and Stroke Foundation grant.

Fast forward to 2009 when research, funded by the foundation, enabled the very first in-utero surgery to correct congenital heart defects.

Donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation are making a difference by supporting more than 600 researchers across Ontario.

These are researchers whose work will only result in the saving of lives.

Researchers are located in facilities across the region including the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s University, and University of Ottawa Heart Institute.

Not only does research save lives, it also helps those people and their families who are living with heart disease and stroke.

Aside from research, another key element to preventing heart disease and stroke is just that â&#x20AC;&#x201C; prevention.

By doing some very simple things like eating right, being physically active, watching blood pressure levels and not smoking, Canadians can help Make Death Wait.

Through the Heart and Stroke Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, heartandstroke.ca, there are three tools which are worth looking over, starting with the My Risk Assessment, a chance to look at what might be putting individuals at risk in their own lives.

The My Health Support tool and the 30-Day Challenge are both useful in helping people start to live a healthier life.

Help to create â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;More hours in a day. More days in a year. More years in a lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by donating to the Heart and Stroke Foundation and taking some simple preventative measures to maintain good health.

Miller should be paying for answers to publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s questions To the Editor: When a new housing development is proposed for a community, its citizens have the right to ask questions about that development and how it will affect their lives.

They have the right to have their questions answered. It is supposed to be an open, democratic process.

But how will those questions be answered?

And who pays for those answers?

Morally, this is pretty straightforward. After all, why should a community have to pay for the truth about a development that will cost them a lot of money, will pollute the air they breathe and maybe the water they drink?

Why indeed? But legally, this area is not quite so straightforward.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look at the specifics of the case of the quarry development in Braeside. Miller wants to increase revenue by expanding their operation. Most importantly they want to industrialize the Braeside Quarry with a permanent asphalt plant, concrete plant, wash plant, industrial machine shop, fuel storage, etc.

Miller has already been found guilty in a court of law for nuisance, trespass and negligence because of a temporary asphalt plant in this quarry.

So obviously the residents know they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want permanent plants in the same location or possibly a worse location which would bring the noise and toxins even closer to their homes.

But Miller people say, No problem!

All of this is just needless worry; our scien-

tists say so. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all good.

And the County planner says so, too.

The community has been encouraged by their elected council to send in their questions to be answered. So the people have sent in a lot of intelligent and well-reasoned questions.

The Miller studies are as full of holes as Swiss cheese! But hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the problem. Who will be chosen to answer all these questions?

Miller scientists?

But people want the truth. The peer reviewers, the scientists hired to critique these studies, who have pointed out the holes in the first place? They are the logical people to answer the questions as the questions were actually directed specifically to them and only them.

But Miller says: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay to have the peer reviewers answer your questionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

So is it fair for the people of McNab Braeside to have to pay for the truth about a large multinational companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development plans with their own limited tax resources? Is it fair that we have to pay to expose the fact that this development will cost this township a lot of money â&#x20AC;&#x201C; damaged roads, lowered property values, so lower tax revenues, polluted air, and if the water is polluted then the cost of a water treatment facility at $40 million and another $40 million to get the water to the people.

At this point, Miller needs to step up. It is their initiative that began the process, and only they will reap the benefit.

It was an honour for two of our members to be invited to speak at the Annual General Meeting of the AMBA and be part of their 20th anniversary.

We hope to continue our close relationship with the archives and we thank them for their

Warning: Don’t let Braeside Quarry proposal sneak by you To the Editor: Braeside – wake up.

Do you know what’s being decided? Do you realize what the Miller proposal for expansion is?

The proposed Asphalt plant, in your backyard, places you squarely downwind.

Asphalt plants are class III petrochemical industry (smelly, noisy, polluting, high risk).

Your water table and wells and drinking water are at risks.

Your air quality is at risk, as is your tranquil quiet community (traffic, noise, industrial complex inside a rural industrial area).

Expansion of the quarry to four times its size, a cement plant (noise, dust, traffic) in your side yard beside the village, relocation of the entire Smith’s construction office, equipment storage, machine shop, fuel depot, all in the pit over your water table (fractured, porous, limestone, floor) and an asphalt plant are all in the proposal.

There are smarter, safer locations for this whole complex, especially the asphalt.

Your township council needs to hear from you. There is a very real possibility this may be approved, and go ahead, if you don’t speak up.

If Miller group gets its wish, all of Braeside loses.

What is more precious than your family’s health, and the use of your home and enjoyment of your property (think outdoor barbecue, etc.). Do you really want to lose your quality of air, water, tranquility, and value of your home and community?

Democracy is based on the wishes of people, not the economics of private industry. If you snooze, you lose.

Wake up! Speak up! Talk to your councillors.

A time to celebrate ordinary women’s acts of courage, determination Gwen Rutland Bernadette McCann House

EMC events - International Women’s Day is a time to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women in our own communities.

Since 1993 Bernadette McCann House has been hosting an International Women’s Day event, to recognize women in Renfrew County, such as Eve Yantha of McNab-Braesid, who have contributed to the betterment of women in society.

This year Bernadette McCann House is hosting an International Women’s Day event on Thursday, March 7, at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Pembroke.

It is doing so in partnership with Petawawa Military Family Resource Centre, which will be celebrating its event on Friday, March 8.

The Bernadette McCann House will be participating in that event too.

Having both an evening and an afternoon event offers the community a great opportunity to celebrate this

very important day.

The guest speaker March 7 is Candice Price.

A sergeant, Price retired this past June from the Military after a total of more than 24 years.

During her career she had the opportunity to deploy with Op Athena 2002-2003 Roto 0 in Afghanistan as well as several North American exercises.

During these operations/exercises, she found she had a passion for helping people out and discussed with her two daughters the possibility

of doing something like Habitat for Humanity, or working with an NGO such as Red Cross in South America, Dominican Republic or Haiti.

The three of them agreed it was something they would like to do. On Jan. 12, 2010 a devastating earthquake hit Haiti.

It was that moment that Candice decided to be there to help.

On March 30, 2010 she made what she thought would be her one trip to Haiti. So far she has completed six trips to Haiti and she is here to share some of her experiences with us.

The evening is a wine, cheese, and chocolate celebration, starting at 6:30 p.m.

This event is free and open to everyone. Please come and join us for this special invitation.

Bernadette McCann House provides critical services and support to women and their children, facing domestic violence.

The most vicious killer Michael Runtz Nature’s Way EMC lifestyle - On Family Day I was at the National Arts Centre talking about local animals.

My display consisted of mounted creatures including a Fisher. Many children and parents asked me if Fishers

were cruel and vicious, and killed for fun.

I replied that they, like all predatory animals, were not, and simply killed in order to eat.

According the Oxford Dictionary, cruel infers taking pleasure in another’s pain.

Vicious has several meanings including inclined to be dangerous, vile, or addicted to immorality.

Predatory animals have always interested me, and I have devoted much time to searching for them. As a result I have had myriad encounters with foxes, bears, and wolves.

Although I have met a few female bears anxious to protect their cubs, I have yet to meet a predator that could be deemed cruel or vicious.

Killing in order to eat endows predators, which are wild and elusive, with neither of those qualities.

However, recently I did meet a vicious killer. I was atop a rise on our property that offers a grand view of a marshy creek and a corner of our lake. The comforting silence was suddenly shattered by distant rifle shots.

A minute passed and then a much closer explosive crack made me look toward the lake. There I was shocked to see a Coyote lying lifeless on the ice.

I heard the roar of a snowmobile and soon one drove into view. It stopped near the MICHAEL RUNTZ Coyote and the driver dismounted, rifle strapped to his This Coyote was a victim of malicious prejudice. back.

I wanted to talk to him, but he was more than a half kilometre away.

I hurried back down the trail. As I finally neared the lake I heard a cacophony of roars and yelps. Two hounds came bounding over the snow with two ATVs close behind.

The dogs had been used to drive the Coyote onto the ice where the fellow on the snowmobile chased and shot it.

I was sickened and angered by this senseless killing and by the way in which it was done.

I called Ministry of Natural Resources to see if any laws had been broken. They told me to call the municipality, which I did. They passed me on to the OPP, who in turn passed me over to the local police, who then referred me back to the OPP. I eventually learned that no laws had been broken unless

the hunters had been trespassing, but even then only the property owner could lodge a complaint. There was nothing I could do.

That night I heard the mournful howls of a lone Coyote, quite likely the mate of the one that was slaughtered.

It is unconscionable that coyotes and wolves can be killed year round, and in this manner. No animal deserves to be treated this way. Our conservation laws need changing and the needless killing of large predators for sport must be stopped.

Predators are not cruel and vicious creatures. To find an animal that takes pleasure in killing, and is dangerous, vile and immoral, we need only to look within our ranks.

Gun and Hunting Show returns to Renfrew in March EMC events – As the days start to get longer and tolerance of the cold and snow wanes, you know that spring is close.

With spring, comes the start of Valley Outdoors Promotions show season.

The Renfrew Gun and Hunting Show kicks off the upcoming show season March 9 and 10 at the Renfrew Armouries. It is the third year of the annual event.

The chief organizer of the venture, Dave Arbour, says “the two-day activity offers something for every individual who enjoy s hunting or is interested in the sport of shooting.” This

year, the Renfrew Armouries will be full to capacity with new and used firearms, bows and hunting gear. “You won’t be disappointed,” Arbour promises. “There is nothing like scoping out what is new in the field of hunting and shooting sports to get you excited about the upcoming season.”

Admission to the show costs $6 with children under 12 admitted free when accompanied by an adult. Parking is free.

The show hours are Saturday 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Sunday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Not long after the Renfrew Gun and Hunt-

ing Show is the largest of Arbour’s ventures – The Valley Fishing and Outdoor Show at the Carp Arena and Fairgrounds April 5-7. Arbour is excited that Muskie Canada will be hosting a full-day workshop on Muskie fishing at the show. There will be contests for the biggest buck, moose and bear scored by FROW with prizes to be won, a turkey-calling completion, games for the kids and young at heart, and some new exhibitors, outfitters, boat dealers and a building dedicated just to firearms.

With the coming of spring, turkey hunting season is also not far behind. Arbour notes that

“this year at the Valley Fishing and Outdoor Show, people can take their turkey test … they must, however, have purchased the home study turkey DVD from the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters prior to the show.”

The DVD’s can be purchased on line at www.ofah.org or by phone at 705-748-6324, ext. 260.

Meanwhile, the organizers of the 13th annual Perth-Lanark Gun Show have announced their Gun, Hunting and Sportsman Show will return to its original location, the Perth Arena, April 20-21.

cording to the Deans?

“You really have to have an interest and the desire to farm,” said Glenn. “If you don’t love the job, it’s work.”

LOVE OF FARMING

Dale Dean agreed, saying it’s important to enjoy what you’re doing.

A focus for the Deans has been good cow health.

“If you treat them well, they’ll treat you well,” said Dale.

He enjoyed the open house, an opportunity to reunite with friends and colleagues.

“I’ve seen a lot of people I haven’t seen for a long time,” he said.

Glenn’s area of expertise is the cattle. He strives for quality conformation – using cow families with deep pedigrees and bulls of high genetic potential. Dale’s focus is field management of the 300 acres. Feed requirements are all homegrown.

The brothers operate the farm along with their mother Helen.

Their father Bill was also very active in the operation until his death in the summer of 2011.

R0011938747

Glenn’s wife Leah said the family can’t say thanks enough for the help they’ve received.

The family was beyond pleased to be showcasing the operation.

“It was a lot of hard work, but we’ve had lots of community support,” said Leah.

And though the open house was put on as part of the Ontario Holsteins annual general meeting, the family wanted to open its doors to the community as well to show just how their help and support has paid off.

“It’s been tremendous,” said Leah of the steady crowd through the door. “There have been loads of people. We opened it up to the community because the community was who helped us rebuild.”

The Deans are very grateful for the help they’ve received, reiterated Glenn.

“When we had all the trouble people just came forward and helped,” he said.

The new, large, bright barn is working out great.

“It’s excellent, very user-friendly,” said Glenn.

He enjoyed the chance to speak with visitors to the open house. “It’s great to see everybody out,” he said.

‘Lean’ review aims to lower wait times at Arnprior Regional Health

EMC lifestyle – Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) is continuously looking at ways to make the patient experience better.

Through public feedback and a ‘lean’ review, ARH has made some changes to reduce certain wait times.

A lean review is a philosophy aimed at reducing waste or in the case of health care reducing redundancies and processes that slow down a patient’s access to care. The changes incorporated will allow for emergency patients to be treated and released quicker, or for some patients to be admitted quicker.

2967B Calabogie Rd., 8 Forest Ridge, Old 46 Alston St., White Lake, Springtown, $574,999 Orchard Estates, $574,000 $249,900 Custom 2005 built Stunning 4 bed, 4 bath home Village of White Lake, waterfront bungalow! Set on with spectacular views of walking distance to beach! the Madawaska river with the Ottawa River. Massive 2 storey, 4 bdrm home, a 3- car garage, walkout great rm with 2-storey featuring eat-in country bsmt, and gorgeous designer fireplace and vaulted ceiling, kitchen with breakfast bar, kitchen. Wrap around deck renovated kitchen with s/s gas stove and wood stove. provides an incredible view appliances, above-ground Living room with propane of the water and beachfront. pool and 3-level deck; 3-car fireplace, hdwd floors and Hdwd, wkshp, private heated garage, solarium, loads of space! Detached driveway and extra prkg. workshop and 2 offices insulated workshp 18x24.

The former practice was that patients who came to the emergency department would be seen right away by a triage nurse. The nurse would check vitals and discuss the presenting health concern.

The patient would be assessed and given an acuity scale (to ensure the sickest patients is seen first). The patient would then register and wait their turn to see the physician.

Once the patient was being examined, the physician might order further tests such as blood work or an x-ray or an ultrasound.

The patient would then wait for the procedures, then wait for the results and then wait to speak to the emergency physician about the results.

The process has caused some public complaints, with one woman telling the Chronicle Guide she had waited several hours early last month with a sick child to be seen.

Another man also waiting left and was seen at the Renfrew hospital before she

and the girl were looked after, claimed the woman.

In an effort to reduce these types of wait times, ARH streamlined the process and developed new medical directives for certain conditions.

Now when patients present with issues such as abdominal pain or kidney stones, the triage nurse is authorized to send the patient for specific tests (blood work or x- ray). Both diagnostic imaging and the ARH lab added more urgent patient time slots to ensure better patient flow in these circumstances.

What these new directives mean is that by the time the physician comes to do the exam, the test results have been received and a treatment plan can begin.

Wait times were also flagged as an issue for patients who enter through emergency and are subsequently admitted to the inpatient unit.

ARH now has a new registration check lists to ensure all information is taken at one point, from vital information to pre-

ferred accommodations.

The goal is that the time from when the decision is made to admit the patient that hospital is able to get them to the inpatient unit within one hour of admission.

So far this new process has resulted in better data, collection patients receiving their requested room right away (i.e. private or semi); and physicians able to indicate an expected discharge date on the chart allowing for a smoother transition from hospital to home.

Many other changes will be implemented within the next year to improve both patient flow and the patient experience.

It is well documented that patients with an excellent hospital experience have a quicker recovery time. “At ARH, we want the care we provide to be excellent,” says a hospital news release.

The hospitals capture this data regularly through surveys sent to patients following their discharge from hospital, whether the patient was in the emergency department or on the inpatient unit.

Cream of the crop: The Arnprior Redmen and LaSalle Knights pose after a hard-fought final EOSSA title game last Friday at Arnprior District High School. LaSalle prevailed, but both teams will represent Eastern Ontario in the provincial AA basketball championships next week in Richmond Hill. It’s the first time ADHS has qualified in this way for OFSSA.

Redmen to compete for a provincial championship John.carter@metroland.com

EMC news –Arnprior District High School is sending a Senior Boys basketball team to the provincial championships for the first time in modern times.

The host Redmen shocked the three-time defending Eastern Ontario Champs from Smiths Falls 51-43 last Thursday in the opening game of the Eastern Ontario AA championships.

That win over the tournament’s top seed proved to be the key to qualifying for the provincials, as a 66-27 win late in the day against the St. Thomas Aquinas Ravens of PrescottRussell put the Redmen into the semi-final against Holy Trinity of Cornwall instead of second-seed and eventual tournament winner, LaSalle of Kingston.

Expecting a tough match with Holy Trinity Friday morning, ADHS jumped out to a 14-5 lead and never looked back, winning 59-35.

A large crowd helped the team elevate its game, said coach Phil Moore. “They were certainly pleased to play in front of friends, family and their peers.”

The Redmen lost the final to a strong LaSalle team, but had already qualified for the provincials.

“We were playing catch-up the whole game,” said Moore. “They’re a strong team with all the

tools – skill size and quickness.”

His team probably suffered a let-down after clinching a berth in the provincials before an excited home crowd earlier in the day, he said.

“But our poor shooting (25 per cent from the floor) didn’t help.”

While ADHS sent basketball teams to the provincials in the late 1970s, this is the first time a squad has qualified through the EOSSA route.

Against Smiths Falls, which had beaten Arnprior by 20 points early in the season, the Redmen jumped out to an early 11-2 lead and went into the locker room at half time ahead 32-27.

Missed shots and a stingy Red Hawk defense saw the Arnprior boys fall behind 41-39.

However, the Redmen dug deep and pushed back, outscoring the Red Hawks 12-2 the rest of the way to win 51-43. Andrew McAuley had a huge game scoring 21 points.

Cody Moore, Mike Shoveller, Jaegar Prot and Conner Schriver also had big games on both sides of the ball.

One of the keys was keeping the turnovers down to an almost unheard of six, said Moore.

The team also came up with an impressive 28 defensive and 12 offensive rebounds.

The win over St Thomas Aquinas was highlighted by three spectacular dunks in the fourth quarter including a windmill ally-oop by McAuley.

In the win over Holy Trinity, Prot was on fire, hitting three threes in scoring 17 points.

Mike Shoveller added 13 for the Redmen.

“We thought they’d be really tough,” said Moore, noting ADHS had eked out 10- and two-point victories over Holy Trinity in tournament play. As well, LaSalle had almost been upset by Holy Trinity before winning 68-64 the day before.

After building up a quick lead in the crucial semi-final match, ADHS cooled down in the second quarter, to lead 22-16 at half-time.

But they exploded in the second half for the 24-point win.

Moore, who coaches the team with help from Bruce Shoveller, expects ADHS will be seeded between ninth and 12th in the 16-team provincial tournament, which runs March 3 to 6. LaSalle could be seeded in the top six, he noted.

He said he’ll be telling his players to “soak up the experience” at the provincials, as it’s

a once-in-a-lifetime happening. “I’ve been coaching for 22 years and it’s my first time,” he said.

He said his team will be an underdog, but if they play hard and smart they could surprise their opponents.

FUNDRAISER AT METRO

Attending the provincial tournament will cost the ADHS Redmen close to $6,000, as the team will be in Toronto for four days.

To help defray some of the costs, players will be at the Arnprior Metro store this Saturday, March 2 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. conducting a fund-raising raffles. Shoppers buying tickets could win the cost of their grocery purchase.

Moore said if there are any area businesses interested in helping the team financially it would be helpful. “Give me a call at the school,” he said. “Any and all donations are much appreciated.”

PATRICIA LEBOEUF/METROLAND

The Arnprior Redmen’s 51-43 win over Smiths Falls Redhawks in the opening game of the EOSSA tournament at ADHS last Thursday was the key in the local school qualifying the for the provincials.

TODD COLLINS/SUBMITTED

In a ceremony in Ottawa Feb. 19, former Arnprior Junior B Packer star Taylor Collins is honoured for joining the exclusive 300-point club. From left are John Hill general manager of the Ottawa Junior Canadians, Collinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; current team; former Packer coach/GM Bill Griese, Collins, Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League Metro Valley president Ron McRostie and Ottawa Jr. Canadians coach Tasso Vasilas.

MIKE YEAS

Collins honored for hitting 300-point mark Griese has high praise for his former star. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His skill and overall ability were always Junior A level, but that was never what set him apart from the other good players in the league,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What sets him apart is his complete understanding of the team or to him, the family concept of the team.

Griese noted that Collins would get more excited over a fourth-line player scoring then he would if he had completed a hat trick himself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He always understood that the third line guys who bang and crash are the guys that give the team energy and he always made sure they knew how important they were,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get respect from other players for the 300 points, but he earned respect from everyone he played with and against because always respected the game, the coaches, the referees and the volunteers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to take credit for that,â&#x20AC;? said Griese. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But my past experience tells me thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all parenting.â&#x20AC;?

As well as Collins, the Ottawa Junior Canadians have a few other familiar faces to Arnprior fans on the squad. Former Packers Matt Crozier, Shane Smith, Mitch Parker, Luke Gagnon, top goaltender Matt Couvrette, trainer Eric Talbot and general manager John Hill all joined the Ottawa team for the 201213 season.

On his special night, Collins did not disappoint his former Arnprior fans as he led the Canadians, scoring the first goal of the game at the seven-minute mark of the first period and set up the final goal as the Canadians won 3-1 over the Ottawa West Golden Nights to take a one-game lead in the best-of-seven series.

Collins has eight points, including a shorthanded unassisted goal, in the first five games of the series, which the Junior Canadians lead 3-2.

R0011930136

EMC sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It was a memorable evening Feb. 19 for former Arnprior Packer Taylor Collins, his family and friends.

The Ottawa Junior Canadians celebrated a milestone Feb. 19 by presenting Collins with a plaque for reaching the 300-point club in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League.

Long-time league watchers say there are probably only about a dozen players in the 50 years the league has been in operation to have scored 300 points.

Collins played his first three seasons as an Arnprior Packer before being traded last fall due to school commitments in Ottawa. Collins is in his third year at the University of Ottawa majoring in Environmental Science. His school work load and class schedule made it impossible to play his last season as a Packer and live in Ottawa.

During his three years playing for the Packers, Collins racked up 101 goals and 134 assists in regular season play for 235 points.

In only 32 games this season Collins led the Ottawa Junior Canadians with 31 goals and 37 assists for 68 points despite missing 10 games to a shoulder injury. The Ottawa Junior Canadians finished in first place in the Metro league and are facing off against the fourthplace Ottawa West Golden Nights.

The presentation to Collins was made prior to game one of the playoff series in front of a packed house, as former players, coaches and fans from Arnprior filled a bus and travelled to attend the festivity.

Former Junior B Packer coach Bill Griese was on hand to present Collins with his award along with his present coach, Tasso Vasilas of the Ottawa Junior Canadians.

Griese coached Collins in all his three seasons as an Arnprior Packer. During this time Collins won Rookie of the year, Most Valuable Player and two consecutive Top Scorer awards in the Valley division.

Packers swept from playoffs by Wolves John Carter John.carter@metroland.com

EMC sports - Renfrew Timberwolves have gained a measure of revenge on the Arnprior Packers, sweeping them out of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Valley Division playoffs.

The Packers, who beat Renfrew four straight last year on their way to the Valley Division championship, had the tables turned this time around, losing four straight.

The Wolves wrapped up the best-of-seven semifinal with a 5-1 win over Arnprior Packers at the Nick Smith Centre Saturday.

The win followed 5-3, 7-2 and 6-3 Renfrew triumphs.

Arnprior, which drew second-place Renfrew after Stittsville was penalized two points for dressing an ineligible player late in the season was beaten convincingly. The third-place Packers were outshot by more than 100 in the four games, as the Wolves sprayed more 200 shots at Kyle Lamothe who was under siege in the Arnprior net.

If not for Lamothe, the Packers demise would have been even more pronounced.

The Wolves move on to

meet the first-place Perth Blue Wings, who finished off Stittsville Royals in five games with a 5-2 win in Perth Tuesday.

WOLVES 5, PACKERS 1

The Wolves jumped out to a quick start, and were never seriously threatened in Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s series-clinching triumph. Scott Conroy and Tanner Smith had two goals apiece. The Wolves led 3-1 after 20 minutes, and 41 heading for home. Patrick McGrath added a third-period marker. Ryan Patrick had the lone Arnprior marker.

Lamothe was busy as usual, facing 40 shots, whole former Packer Matt Gagne handled 25 of 26 shots in the Wolves net. The game got a bit rambunctious as the teams combined for 137 minutes in penalties, the most of any game in the series.

Arnprior was hit with 99 minutes in penalties, while Renfrew was given 47.

WOLVES 6 PACKERS 3

Brock Burge gave Arnprior the early lead, scoring 23 seconds into the game last Friday in Renfrew.

However, the Wolves re-

bounded for four straight goals, three by Drew Anderson, before the period was over.

Burge made it 4-2 with a goal at 2:16 of the second, but Renfrew pulled ahead by three again at 6:22. Reid Murphy gave Arnprior some faint hope scoring part way through the third, but the Wolves again quickly made it a three-goal lead to take a commanding 30 lead in the series.

According to the league statistics, the Wolves outshot Arnprior 64-18.

WOLVES 7 PACKER 2

Wolves scored three unanswered third-period goals Wednesday to put away the Packers in game two at the Nick Smith Centre.

Ethan Allard pulled Arnprior into a short-lived 1-1 tied with a first-period goal, but Renfrew added three scores of its own before Derrin Lehoux scored in the last minute of the stanza. The second period was scoreless. Arnprior was again outshot by a large margin (5322).

Local wrestling community will have its say Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

EMC sports - The International Wrestling Federation (FILA) has been brought to its knees, but it is looking for a reversal of enormous proportions.

Following the International Olympic Committee’s recent recommendation to exclude wrestling as one of the 2020 Olympics’ core sports, there has been a worldwide groundswell of grass-roots outcry.

This has included support for wrestling’s Olympic inclusion by such strong wrestling communities as Renfrew and Arnprior.

The IOC recommendation could be accepted at the IOC’s September 2013 session in Buenos Aires. If so, wrestling and seven other sports, including baseball, karate and wakeboarding, would be faced with vying for one berth as the additional sport at the 2020 Olympics.

Wrestling faces the challenge of changing the IOC’s mind when it states its case before the IOC executive board in May 2013 in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Either way, communities in love with wrestling plan to have their say.

“I do know there’s some positive movement happening,” says Clint Kingsbury, the domestic development manager of Wrestling Canada (still known in its constitution as the Canadian Amateur Wrestling Association).

Kingsbury, who’s well aware of wrestling’s popularity in the Ottawa Valley, says the wrestling community is doing exactly what it should be doing - talking up the sport on social media to remind others than that their wrestling is near and dear to their hearts, and has been for several years. Part of the Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club’s plan is to send a photo of nearly 200 wrestlers, officials and other wrestling supporters, from this month’s Renfrew Rumble tournament, to the International Olympic Committee.

Grant Lavallee, a local wrestling coach and

former international competitor, says the photo will be accompanied by a letter in support of continuing wrestling’s Olympic membership.

The pronounced activity on Facebook, and other social media, by wrestling communities is encouraged, says Kingsbury, a former national team wrestler who lives in the southwestern Ontario town of St. Thomas.

“It’s definitely not a done deal,” said Kingsbury, who at the same time says FILA has received a major wake-up call. He says this is partly because FILA has not had commissions in place to deal with legal, medical and gender issues.

Meanwhile, Kingsbury says the sport needs to “come together worldwide to support the sport, trust our leadership and keep doing what we’re doing (to protest), including activity on social media. That’s what people are doing worldwide.”

One of the area’s most veteran supporters of wrestling is Norm Bujold who is a two-time world junior championship competitor, the first president of the Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club, and member of the club’s board of directors for more than 20 years.

Bujold, who moved to the area as a youngster in 1968, soon became a fixture on the wrestling scene.

“I didn’t know the difference between WWF and amateur wrestling,” recalled Bujold, who quickly moved up the ranks and emerged as a junior and senior national champion.

“The sport did a lot for my self-esteem and taught me about focusing.”

The recent IOC recommendation, added Bujold, “blew me away because I know wrestling has been represented at the Olympics by 101 countries, and 57 different countries have won wrestling medals at the Olympics.”

Just the very fact so many more kids have the opportunity to develop in a sport such as wrestling, where all you basically need is a pair of shorts and sneakers, speaks volumes for keeping Olympic dreams alive for youngsters

and coaches and parents around the world, says Bujold.

“To remove this sport devastates the younger generation of wrestlers who dream to someday represent their country at this most prestigious event,” added Bujold “What is this world and Olympics coming to when it places potential earning over the dreams of our youth.”

In response to the IOC recommendation, last week, the International Wrestling Federation website carried a repentant statement on its front page that began: “FILA takes its responsibility very seriously on behalf of all the 180 affiliated national federations and all the wrestlers in the world. We understand the IOC recommendation and respect the process. As a sport, we are willing to undertake all the necessary steps for our sport to remain on the core program of the Olympic Games.

“The world of wrestling is understandably disappointed by the IOC executive board’s recommendation to remove wrestling from the 2020 Olympic Games program. We see this as

an opportunity which could be a positive turning point for our sport. One thing is for certain: it is our responsibility alone to address the issues that led to this situation.

“We are listening to the IOC’s concerns and learning from their guidance. We must strive to improve our sport’s Olympic offering in order to retain our position on the Olympic program and evolve with the times.”

In reference to Raphaël Martinetti’s resignation, FILA finished its statement by thanking its former president “for his huge contribution and his lifelong service to the sport.”

Following the early-February recommendation, FILA says Martinetti convened a group of eastern delegates at its Feb. 15-16 bureau meeting in Phuket, Thailand, where the delegates blamed the president for the eviction of wrestling from the 2020 Olympic Games list of core sports.

According to FILA, Martinetti asked for the bureau’s support to save wrestling in the coming months, but received only 50 per cent of the votes.

Local wrestlers do well at Rumble EMC sports - Some members of the Arnprior Wrestling Club, including Kyle Findlay of West Carleton, and wrestlers from the Walter Zadow Public School team completed at the Renfrew Rumble Tournament Feb. 16.

Coached by Arnprior District High School Grade 12 student Rebecca Dolan, Laura Stellato and Kevin Mayhew of Fitzroy Harbour, all of the wrestlers came home with a medal.

For Jonah Pekley, Lexy Horner and Owen Ellis, this was their first tournament and the coaches were impressed with how well they did considering the fact that they had only five practices (snow days caused some lost practice time).

Both Owen and Lexy had matches that lasted over seven minutes because points were not

scored in the normal two-minute rounds and had to go into extra time for two out of three rounds, eventually winning those matches.

This was something to see because scoreless rounds do not happen very often at any tournament.

From Walter Zadow Public School, Owen Ellis and Brian Scheeler placed first in their weight classes.

Jonah Pelkey placed second and Lexy Horner placed third.

From the Arnprior Wrestling club, John Dolan placed second while Kyle Findlay was third.

They both showed how far they have come with their skills since competing in this tournament last year.

Gas bills out of control? LEAP can help RRSP deadline EMC news – Enbridge Gas Distribution is reminding customers that the Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP) is available to eligible natural gas customers having difficulty paying overdue amounts they owe on their natural gas bills.

The program in this area is run in conjunction with the County of Renfrew’s Social Services Ontario Works Division LEAP emergency financial assistance is a grant program developed by the Ontario Energy Board to supplement existing government initiatives. The LEAP program builds on the Winter Warmth program that provided financial assistance to low-income households struggling to pay their heating bills during the winter months.

LEAP is available year-round to qualifying Enbridge customers in financial need.

It is not intended to provide regular or ongoing bill payment assistance.

Eligible customers can apply to receive a one-time payment

Friday usually a busy time

of up to $500 per household per calendar year, which is credited directly to their bill.

For more information about the program, call 613-732-2601 or visit www.enbridgegas.com/leap.

In Ottawa, the program is run by the Salvation Army and in Lanark County by the County of Lanark.

Emergency financial assistance is also available to other natural gas and electricity customers in Ontario through their local utilities.

EMC news – Many Canadians are leaving the decision whether to contribute to RRSPs to the last minute.

The deadline for contributions for the 2012 tax year is this Friday, March 1.

Surveys indicate 60 per cent of Canadians who contribute to their RRSP this year do so in the last two weeks before the deadline.

“Our research shows that 59 per cent of Canadians contribute annually to an RRSP,” said TD vice-president Kim Parlee.

“Those contributions offer tax benefits and are one of the most important steps you can take to secure your financial future.”

Parlee addresses three reasons Canadians say they wait until the last minute to contribute and offers advice on how to overcome three common misconceptions to make the most of their RRSP contributions in 2013.

Misconception #1: “I don’t have enough money throughout the year to contribute.”

“Creating an automatic monthly RRSP contribution is easy - and then you’re set for the rest of the year,” advises Parlee.

“Contributing smaller amounts throughout the year won’t have a significant impact on your lifestyle and you’ll avoid a lastminute scramble to come up with a lump-sum at the end of the year.” According to Statistics Canada, the median amount Canadians contributed to an RRSP in 2011 was $2,830. “If you break that down, it’s only slightly more than $50 a week,” says Parlee.

Misconception #2: “It’s a better strategy to wait until the last minute to contribute.”

“If you wait until just before the deadline and make one lump-sum payment, you’re missing out on the potential for compound interest throughout the year,” explains Parlee.

Misconception #3: “I shouldn’t invest because of market volatility.”

“If you’re worried about the impact of ups and downs in the markets on your retirement savings, an advisor can offer advice to help you protect your investment portfolio over the long-term so that you have peace of mind,” says Parlee.

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A series of public meetings to discuss the Algonquin Land Claim draft agreement will begin next month in Eastern Ontario.

The meeting for Renfrew County has been set for Thursday, March 14 in Pembroke.

However, prior to the sessions, three outdoor recreation groups are holding their own public information meetings, including one in Pembroke this evening (Thursday).

The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH), Canadian Sportfishing Industry Association (CSIA) and Federation of Ontario Cottagersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Associations (FOCA) are hosting a session the Algonquin Land Claim settlement Feb. 28 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Best Western Inn and Conference Centre in Pembroke.

There will be presentations from the three groups and an opportunity for the public to ask questions.

No prior registration is required and everyone is encouraged to attend.

The meetings follow up on similar sessions in Stittsville Monday and North Bay Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The purpose of these meetings is to let the

people who live, work, hunt, fish and recreate in the land claim area know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at stake,â&#x20AC;? explained OFAH executive director Angelo Lombardo in a news release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To date, the government has not provided the public with the opportunity for consultation, which is inexcusable. Collectively, we feel it is our responsibility to make the public aware of the details of this land claim and how they may be affected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you enjoy the use of public lands or are impacted on by the claim in anyway, this meeting will provide you with some background information and prepare you for government sessions in March where you can ask questions and demand answers,â&#x20AC;? added Lombardo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The opportunity to hunt, fish, boat, hike, cottage, trap, canoe, camp or ATV in the land claim area is on the line.â&#x20AC;?

MPP revives gas tax campaign EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With a new Premier in office, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski has revived his campaign to have the provincial gas tax shared with rural municipalities.

Yakabuski held a press conference Feb. 21 to bring attention to an issue of â&#x20AC;&#x153;fundamental fairnessâ&#x20AC;? for Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rural municipalities.

He promoted his reintroduced Private Membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bill, the Gasoline Tax Fairness for All Act, which would ensure all municipalities share in a portion of the gas tax they pay.

Currently, the Gasoline Tax Act only permits those municipalities that have a rapid transit or public transportation system to seek a tax rebate.

Yakabuski has been advocating for years an amendment to the Act to make all municipalities eligible to receive a rebate from the provincial government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I first introduced this Bill in recognition of the fact that rural municipalities depend on their roads and bridges as the only public transportation available to them, yet receive no gas

tax fundingâ&#x20AC;? Yakabuski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The longer the government takes to address the unfairness of the current funding model, the larger the problem becomes.â&#x20AC;?

According to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, the estimated annual infrastructure deficit for Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s municipalities is $6 billion.

To address these challenges, municipalities have advocated for predictable, long-term and stable infrastructure funding.

Yakabuski noted that in the recent Liberal Leadership campaign there was a lot of talk about finally acknowledging the realities of rural Ontario. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After years of neglect this is an opportunity for the Liberals to show some respect for rural Ontario and support a policy that municipalities have spent years advocating for,â&#x20AC;? Yakabuski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Premier Wynne has an opportunity to finally put rubber to the road in the upcoming budget.â&#x20AC;?

The Ontario PC party endorsed gas tax fairness in the 2007 and 2011 election campaigns.

Plenty of feedback on Endangered Species Act Steve Newman Steve.newman@metroland.com

STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND

Leo Hall, left, of Opeongo Forestry voices his opinion during Friday’s Renfrew County forum. Beside him are planner Brian Whitehead of Jp2g Consultants Inc. and Tom Richardson, right, of the Ontario Forestry Industry Association. what we’ve been noticing during the past decade is it’s becoming increasingly more difficult to extract value from our products because of a whole bunch of a factors in the world market,” added Hall.

The net result in the past decade is a declining value of product by 10 to 50 per cent, or in some cases the total disappearance of the demand for products.

A way to deal with these declining values is to use more sophisticated machinery, but to make those machines effective investments, Hall says they have to run a high percentage of the time, but can’t because of restricted land access, as defined by the Endangered Species Act. “I feel in my bones that this situation has gotten to the point where in forestry and in property development, we are gradually being pushed out of the global community of producing wood products and selling them competitively,” said Hall.

“And we may very well be at the stage where the alternate use for this land, which could attract investment to the area, is becoming uneconomic as well.”

One of the most thorough speakers was Colin Mackinnon of Ben Hokum & Son Limited sawmill in Killaloe. He called the Endangered Species Act “another financial burden that will regulate us out of business.”

“Our forestry industry, as you know, has been struggling for five years,” he added. “(There are) lots of casualties. Those who are still operating are just hanging on by a thread.

“Now in the fourth year of the species-atrisk (legislation) we’re starting to see the full impact, and we’re at the tipping point. More and more, we’re seeing more American lumber cross the border, and we have to remain competitive (by lowering our prices).”

Over the past year, with increased activity by the Committee for Status of Species at Risk in Ontario (COSSARO), Mackinnon says the forestry industry has been more and more challenged. The biggest factor is restricted access to its own timber supply, said Mackinnon.

“We have to sell our timber when the market wants it, but with the ESA we have a hard time doing that … We don’t want to be cutting our spring operating areas in the winter. We have a lack of flexibility,” he said of the company’s provincially-approved five-year cutting plan.

“We’re losing area, we’re losing volume, due to species at risk (regulations). There are reserves on waterways, creeks, woodland pools, ponds that are removed from our harvest. At times, this will make small blocks unafford-

able to harvest. Even for larger blocks, with little sections that are blocked off, we have to move in and out due to timing restrictions, (so) we may have a difficult time cost-wise to go back and harvest.”

Restricted harvesting blocks may also negatively impact the local industry’s ability to respond to mounting product demand at certain times of the year, said Mackinnon.

He also said that the legislation has resulted in additional costs to create off-season roads, to accommodate species at risk, at increased costs since roads once built with two or three

R0011925842

EMC news - In a packed Renfrew County council chambers last Friday, more than 60 people attended a fact-collecting forum on the impact of the Endangered Species Act (ESA).

Speaker after speaker condemned the act for its negative impact on the local economy, but perhaps none more so than Admaston-Bromley beef farmer and municipal councillor Michael Donohue.

He said the ESA often requires environmental assessment that results in finding no species at risk, but only potential habitat for species at risk.

“What I find most frightening about that is that I suspect every square inch of this province has potential habitat for something on this list (of species at risk),” said Donohue.

The beef farmer bristled when speaking about the apparent myth about opponents to the act. Anyone speaking up against this act, said Donohue sarcastically, is considered to be part of “some sort of rapacious enterprise that cares about nothing but the bottom dollar, and that’s absolutely not the case.”

“I think everyone here is of the same mind as I am: This is my home and I want to see it flourish.”

Liberal, NDP and Progressive Conservative representatives, including Conservative MPP John Yakabuski, made brief statements at the outset of the nearly three-hour forum. But the floor was mainly occupied by an avalanche of criticism from invitees to the afternoon session hosted by Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon and the county’s property and development director Paul Moreau. The teeth of the act are the regulations, which county officials say need changing. Deadline for feedback to the province’s EBR (or environmental bill of rights) registry was Monday, Feb. 25.

“We had a great turnout,” said Moreau.

“Our warden was right when he said we had an opportunity (Friday) for different sectors of our economy to hear about the impacts that each other’s experiencing. So we’re not all in different silos here, and just thinking of our individual effects, but we now have a broader understanding of the issues that we’re all facing.

And what’s come out is that they’re all very similar in nature.”

The hope, said Emon, is that the forum results in the county’s construction of a message that leads to constructive changes in the Endangered Species Act’s regulations.

He also thanked the forum’s participants for their restraint while speaking out about an act that he said is unfair. Those impacts include huge planning-process delays, including such provincial restrictions or requests as environmental assessments, restricted windows for cutting in forested areas, and lack of flexibility in farmers’ hay harvesting guidelines.

Ontario Federation of Agriculture vice-president Debra Straathof of Arnprior suggested a few changes to the legislation. These include more ministerial oversight so the species at risk committee doesn’t wield all-encompassing power, and adding a person with agricultural background to CASSARO. Another speaker was Leo Hall of Renfrew’s Opeongo Forestry Services, which for years has grown and harvested trees.

He said the act has had major impact on his timber business and on related real-estate development.

“The key (impact) as far as I’m concerned is cost, and the second most important one is uncertainty,” said Hall.

“The way we understand it, you need to have revenue a little bit higher than your costs, and

inches of gravel must now be built with two or three times that amount.

Tom Richardson of the Ontario Forestry Industry Association, said “we could live with onerous restrictions if there were truly rare (species at risk), but they’re everywhere.”

MPP Yakabuski said his party would review how appointments are made to CASSARO and restore the natural resources minister’s right to have the final say on committee decisions “because unfortunately you have a board (CASSARO) that does not represent you.”

“In fact, they represent everything that is the opposite of what your needs are, and when they make determinations they’re answering the call of the people who elect them to their various environmental organizations. So it’s a very tilted relation today, and that has to change.”

There were about two dozen presenters at the forum that lasted nearly three hours. They included Kerry Clouthier of Clouthier Construction, planner Brian Whitehead of Jp2g Consultants Inc., Lauretta Rice of the National Farmers Union, forester Ed Heideman of Lavern Heideman & Sons Ltd. in Eganville, Larry McTaggart of Bancroft Area Forest Industry Association, and Don Baxter of Northern Graphite mine near Bissett Creek.

Each said the Endangered Species Act is reducing profit margins by creating more delays in the planning or production process.

The purpose of the forum, according to a pre-forum news release from Renfrew County, was to emerge with “positive and reasonable solutions, and alternative mechanisms, to the costly and unworkable mechanisms contained in the ESA, and to deliver these recommendations to the Province of Ontario.”

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant meets with Brian Hamilton of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) and Renfrew County National Farmers Union president Dave MacKay. Also at the meeting were Renfrew County OFA secretary-treasurer Donna Campbell, NFU secretary Lauretta Rice, and Renfrew County dairy farmers John Strathoff and Ron McCoy.

Extend drought deadline, Ontario urged “While the Federal Government is providing the bulk of the funding for this initiative, by agreement the Provincial Minister is responsible for the overall delivery and administration of the program.

“Rural Ontario is watching,” said Gallant.

“I invite her to listen to the farmers in Renfrew County. They need more time to complete program forms.

“Many do not have the $300 to $1,200 they have been given as estimates by accountants and farm consultants to fill out these forms.”

SORT OUT THE PROBLEMS

“There are issues with a number of the requirements to qualify for this program. An extension to the program deadline is needed to sort out these problems.

“As recognized by the province’s own AgriRecovery Assessment, Renfrew County was the worst-hit drought area in 2012, with a drop in forage production as much as 50 per cent,” she said.

“Poor pasture conditions forced some producers to feed their first cut of hay in July and August, which meant they had less hay available for winter feeding,” noted Gallant.

EMC events – The sixth annual Seedy Sunday in the Ottawa Valley will be held this Sunday, March 3 in Pembroke.

The event for new and experienced gardeners and food lovers will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p. in at Fellowes High School at 420 Bell St. Admission is free.

Gardeners, seed savers, seed vendors, local food producers, organic practitioners and environmental groups will come together to learn from one another, exchange ideas and seeds, and buy seeds and plants in a fun social setting.

It’s a day to educate, learn and promote local food, more sustainable methods of growing, and the preservation and use of heirloom, organic and open-pollinated seeds.

Presentations include Teas for Health from Your Garden, How to Save Your Own Seeds, Growing, and Gardening Success with Companion Planting.

Seedy Sunday is a non-profit event operated by volunteers, and sponsored by the Ottawa River Institute. For more information, visit www.ottawariverinstitute.ca.

EMC news – Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant has asked the new provincial Agriculture Minister Kathleen Wynne to extend the assistance deadline for Ontario livestock breeders who are facing severe forage shortages due to last summer’s dry weather.

“Farm organization representatives have come to me expressing their concern that the lateness of receiving the program application forms, the lack of clarity in the forms as well as the paperwork requirement may result in farmers who should qualify for assistance not receiving any help,” said Gallant.

The funding is being made available through the 2012 Canada-Ontario Forage and Livestock Transportation Assistance Initiative.

“I worked very hard to convince our Federal Government Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz that our local farmers needed support,” added Gallant. “As a result, the biggest share of this program, 60 per cent is being paid for by the federal government.”

Gallant met with local farming officials last week to discuss the problems and what to do about them.

“This is an opportunity for the new Premier of Ontario to put words into action as the Provincial Minister of Agriculture,” she said.

The 42 Arnprior District High School students and seven teacher-chaperones met for the final time last Friday to get their travel packs and go over details of their educational trip to France March 7 to 15 during which they will visit a Canadian war cemetery, a Canadian military museum and the D-Day beaches JOHN CARTER/METROLAND

ADHS students to visit grave sites of local soldiers in France John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

EMC news – A group of Arnprior District High School students will experience history first-hand in an educational trip to France over the March Break.

And that history lesson will have direct links to Arnprior.

The group of 42 Grade 11 and 12 students led by French teacher Nicole White will be visiting the Canadian War Cemetery at Benny Sur Mer. Among the many graves are at least three that will have special significance for the students.

They will visit the grave of Lance Corporal William Poho and sprinkle on it dried flowers from Arnprior. The flowers were given to the students by his niece, Shirley Emma Leclair of Arnprior.

They will also stop by the grave of Lieutenant David Kilborn Hazzard and take its photograph for his nephew, Stephen Ogletree.

As well, one of the ADHS teachers going on the trip, Karen Dodds, will visit her grandfather’s grave site.

“It’s all very special,” said White, noting the experience will help drive home an important part of Canada’s history to the students.

The nine-day trip runs from March 7 to 15 and begins in Paris.

Students will take a walking trip and guided tour of the city, including a visit to Notre Dame Cathedral. They will also tour the palace at Versailles.

After a bus trip to the wine country of the Loire Valley, the students will head to St. Malo, Caen and Normandy to visit the Benny Sur Mer cemetery, the Canadian Military Museum and D-Day beaches. After a stop at Rouen and its famous cathedral, the students will head back to Paris for a tour of the Louvre, before flying home.

The students have been able to look up online the names of soldiers buried at Benny Sur Mer to see if any have local connections.

Many will lay a penny on a grave as a sign of respect for those who made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom.

One of those is Corporal Poho.

Leclair has provided students with photographs and details of the young Canadian, the son of Finnish emigrants, who died at the age of 23 during the Normandy campaign.

Leclair remembers the family going to the train station in Sudbury in 1943 to see Poho off after he enlisted in the Royal Winnipeg

Rifles. “He boarded the train, then came back to the group to hug everyone,” she wrote.

“I was a child of five, and oh how I remember the sadness. It appeared as though each person that was present said their last goodbyes to William.”

Poho was killed on or about June 8, 1944 with many other brave soldiers, Leclair notes.

She shared with students letters received confirming his death and the burial report.

In conclusion, she said she was enclosing dried flowers from her Tierney Street garden. “If you would be so kind to scatter the flowers over my Uncle William’s grave,” she wrote. “Thank you, in gratitude from Williams’s family.”

Ogletree asked for the photograph of his uncle’s grave for a memorial scrapbook he is compiling. He noted that a photograph of the headstone had appeared last year in Maclean’s Magazine and the Globe and Mail had run a series of articles based on letters Lieutenant Hazzard had written home to his wife, Audrey.

“Your work in encouraging the students to remember and honour our war dead is appreciated,” he wrote in his letter to White and the students.

Escape wintery blasts in the cozy Arnprior Legion Janet Tobio Arnprior Legion

EMC lifestyle – It looks like its still winter - what a surprise! I was hoping for green grass, bright skies and no coats.

Oh that’s right, this is Canada, and this is the weather we always get until March, or April, or sometimes even May, so I guess we just have to do as the little kids say and “suck it up buttercup” and go play in the snow.

Well, we do have an option. It’s warm in the Legion these days and lots to do as well.

There are the usual second Friday evening dinner, last Saturday of the month great breakfast and every Friday noon super hamburgers.

March’s special event celebrating St Pat’s day is the Fiddle Folk and Dance Show all afternoon March 16 in the hall. Everyone is welcome.

There is six-handed euchre ever Tuesday afternoon. If you don’t know how, come out and learn. It’s a great afternoon.

Speaking of euchre, the four-handed challenge is still going on with the Knights and the Legion teams. And, of course, there’s the very popular Monday night Bingo.

The Public Speaking competition for school children, sponsored by the Royal Canadian Legion, was held on Sunday, Feb. 24 at the Arnprior Branch. We are pleased to announce that four first-place winners are going on to the Zone level being held at the Constance Bay Legion this Sunday, March 3. We wish them all good luck on that day.

Arnprior & District Memorial Hospital The Grove Nursing Home Primary Health Care Centre Assisted Living Services

The Going Home Program Patients are often anxious to be discharged from hospital so they can return to their own homes. Often a family member or a friend is there to assist for the first few days. However, there are patients who have little or no family support and efforts have been made to help them through a community based program.

Carefor Health and Community Services is a partner to Arnprior Regional Health. They assist with the Day Program at the Grove and they also offer the Going Home Program (GHP).

The Going Home Program is designed to provide support to seniors 65+ during the immediate post discharge from the hospital. Services span the course of the first 10 days following discharge (but does not mean that clients have to have services from the full ten days). The program instead focuses on client-centered care and the care plan reflects what the client needs. There is no cost to the client to use the program and it is funded entirely by the Champlain LHIN. Carefor Health and Community Services completely manage the program. For Renfrew County it is managed in the Pembroke office.

The following services may be accessed: transportation, meals, or in-home services. Transportation is offered to take the patient home from hospital and can also assist with any follow up medical appointments within the 10 days following discharge. It is mainly for local appointments in the community but long-distance appointments can also be arranged. When it comes to meals there is two options, the delivery of 10 frozen means or if you live in the Town of Arnprior 10 hot meals (in partnership with the Hot Meals on Wheels Program). In-home services are essential light home making such as laundry, meal prep or respite.

To access the services of the GHP, clients need to be assessed upon discharge from the hospital. If they meet the criteria that the hospital forwards the referral to Carefor. If a client is in an Ottawa hospital, it is advised that they speak to the social worker and ask to be assessed for the GHP services. If clients meet the criteria, the social worker will forward the referral to Carefor. It is important to note that clients cannot self refer.

Join us for a Lobster Dinner When was the last time you had fresh lobster form Nova Scotia? On Saturday, May 11, you will have an opportunity to enjoy fresh lobster flown in that day from Nova Scotia to Arnprior.

This is a fundraising dinner for Partners in Caring, made possible through a partnership with the Knights of Columbus.

Partners in Caring are asked each year by Arnprior Regional Health to fund equipment to be used at both the hospital and the Grove. This dinner will help fundraise a portion of the money requested. Corporate tables may be purchased for $500, while individual tickets are available for $50. Dai Basset will emcee the evening which will also feature a silent auction table. Thank you to everyone helping to plan this event including the Knights of Columbus, Lori Van Wyk and Joe Brennan.

To purchase tickets: 613-623-7962 x293

Question or comments: 613-623-7962 x293. Feedback is always welcome.

A popular event among the locals, the first Arnprior Fiddlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Fiesta took place in 2001 and featured Debbie Reidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s step-dancing class of Bailey Greesham, Scott Greenough, Becky Reid, Rebecca Ardley, Sara Matt, Melissa Mouch, Lesey MacMillan and Meagan Campbell, along with a young Kelly Meek on the fiddle, just to name a few.

For the this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show, you will be treated to the fiddling sounds of Tessa and Ella Bangs performing both as step-dancers and on the

fiddle; the Mullian sisters Michaela, Marley and Molly better known as Triple Trouble; Alexis MacIssac; The Barrhaven Fiddle Heads; and Elly Wedge.

Wedge is a 15-year-old fiddler and step-dancer from Richmond, Ontario. She started playing the violin at the young age of 5 and hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looked back.

She is no stranger to audiences of all ages and loves to entertain with her traditional fiddle music.

She competes regularly in old-time fiddle and step-dance competitions across the country.

As well performs at a variety of special events in and around the Ottawa area including ceilidhs, country fairs, senior homes, community celebrations, private functions, fundraisers, recitals, concerts and more.

Wedge is a past member of the Ottawa Youth Orchestra

Academy and a member of the Ottawa Traditional Fiddle and Folk Art Society and the Canadian Grand Masters.

FIDDLEHEADS

The Barrhaven Fiddleheads is a musical group (10 to 15 fiddlers and accompanists) who have been jamming for fun for the last 10 years or so. Members of the group meet once a week in Barrhaven, driving in from Kemptville, Almonte, Carleton Place, North Gower, Nepean, Ottawa, OrlĂŠans and even as far away as Brockville.

They love to share their music and bring joy to those folks who truly love and appreciate fiddle music.

Each of the scheduled entertainers will be bringing their own flavour to the 11th annual Fiddleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Fiesta March 3.

The doors open at 1 p.m. with the first entertainer tak-

ing to the stage at 2 p.m. The Fiesta will end at 4:30 p.m., but not before all the musicians gather on stage for an encore of favorites chosen by the audience.

People will have a chance to make their request upon arrival. A table will be located near the entrance accepting all requests.

Guy Jamieson will be the emcee, bringing with him many years of professional experience and support of community events.

The gentlemen of the Knights of Columbus will greet people at the door and will be attending bar. The ladies of the Catholic Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s League will have homemade goodies available for purchase.

The cost of admission is $10 and tickets are available only at the door. With the price of admission you will have the chance to win one of many door prizes donated

Taize experience to be shared in Arnprior Sunday EMC events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Area residents of all denominations will have an opportunity to experience Taize worship at a service in Arnprior this Sunday, March 3.

There will be an ecumenical Taize service at Grace-St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United church at 7 p.m.

Taize is described as a beautiful combination of prayer, scripture and meditative song. Organizers say Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;wonderful opportunity for you to break out of your â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;faith routineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and enter into a prayer dialogue and concentrate on your own relationship with God.â&#x20AC;?

To open the gates of trust in God, nothing can replace the beauty of human voices united in song, says Grace-St.

Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music director Byron Hermann. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This beauty can give you a glimpse of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;heavenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s joy on earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, as an inner life begins to blossom within you. Plan to attend and invite your friends.â&#x20AC;?

What is Taize worship? When the question is asked, there is often another question lurking behind it.

Why do so many people (up to 7,000 a week - primarily young people) go to Taize to pray? Why is the Taize prayer so attractive?

There is certainly a multitude of answers, but perhaps a key response lies in the fact that, at the heart of the prayer, there is a monastic community.

Taize is little village in the south of

Burgundy, France. In this village, over 60 years ago, Brother Roger founded a community devoted to prayer and living a parable of reconciliation within the church and the human family.

The Community is made up of brothers from all the continents and major denominations who gather throughout the year to pray.

For more information on the Community, its history and ongoing work, see the Taize website.

What is unique to the prayer of Taize is the adaptation of the repetitive form to simple musical lines and core biblical texts that can be sung by a whole assembly of various nationalities, languages, and denominations.

LIZ WALL/SUBMITTED

Teenaged fiddle star Elly Wedge will be one of many entertainers on stage this Sunday at the Fiddlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Fiesta in Arnprior. by the local Giant Tiger store.

All proceeds will go to support Arnprior-Braeside-

Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church hosts World Day of Prayer Friday EMC events - On Friday, March 1, the women of France invite you to join with them in the World Day of Prayer celebration, praying under the theme I Was a Stranger and You Welcomed Me. A local World Day of Prayer service will be held at Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church in Arnprior at 1:30 p.m.

There is also a service at St. Thomas Anglican Church in West Carleton at 1 p.m.

Each year the World Day of Prayer service brings with

Spring colours help take chill off winter EMC lifestyle - Although Father kept telling Mother there was a lot of winter left, she refused to believe him.

She was sure she saw a robin. Father said it was a blackbird.

I was never sure if Mother hated the winter because we were locked in for weeks, only venturing as far as church and Briscoe’s General Store, with trips into Renfrew – only if it was necessary – or because she remembered milder weather this time of year in her beloved New York.

But by the time February started to wane, Mother’s patience with the snow, the bitterly cold nights huddled together in the drafty kitchen

Mary Cook’s Memories

to keep warm and the frostcovered windows all took their toll on Mother’s usually happy mood.

Even though the days were getting longer, the evenings stretched out before her and I could tell she ached for spring and warm nights, when she could open the windows and feel the cool country air coming in.

One Friday evening she an-

nounced that even if the snow came down in buckets, she was going into Renfrew in the morning and yes, I could go with her. The old Model T had long since been up on blocks in the drive shed, so Queenie would be hitched to the cutter for the 20-kilometre trip into town.

Mother’s peddling eggs, butter and chickens waned during the winter, but that day, under piles of blankets, she was prepared to visit her warm-weather customers so that she could have what was called “egg money” back then, because there were things she needed. She had written out a list and we dressed like mummies, with hot bricks at our feet. We set out, just Mother and me, for the long cold trip into Renfrew.

Queenie’s breath seemed to freeze in the air and the cutter bit deep into the snow along Northcote Side Road, but the fur rug, wrapped tight to our chins, kept us warm. Mother was in much better spirits than she had been all week, for which I was grateful.

We headed right for Walker’s Store after Mother got rid

of the chickens, butter and eggs, and her little change purse bulged with coins from her sales. She seemed to know exactly what she was looking for and we headed to the back of the store, pausing for a few seconds on the big iron grate in the middle of the store where heat from the coal furnace puffed up warm air.

Here was where the bolts of materials were stored, on long shelves, like books in a library.

Mother said she was there to look at the Dan River cottons. The sales clerk pulled the first pile down off the shelf and Mother asked if she wouldn’t mind bringing down the pile next to it. I knew exactly what she was looking for. This pile had several bolts of Dan River plaids in glorious mauve and pink colours, the colours of spring.

Mother lifted one bolt off the pile and put it to her nose.

She inhaled as if she was smelling a bouquet of roses.

“It’s 19 cents a yard this week,” the sales clerk said, and I knew she was wondering if Mother could spare such a portly sum. She could indeed. Hadn’t we just sold a cutter full of chickens, butter and eggs?

We left the store with four pieces of Dan River cotton all in the palest of colours, and even though they had been put into a Walker’s Store paper bag, I could smell the

Don’t let a fall get you down

sweetness of the new material as I carried the parcel back to the cutter. After a stop at the drug store, we headed back to the farm and I sat huddled under the fur rug with the parcel of material clutched tight to my chest.

After supper, all of us sat around the big pine table, with the exception of Father who was in his usual spot in front of the Findlay Oval, and Mother took out the pieces of Dan River cotton and spread them out before her.

They would become house dresses, and blouses for Audrey and me, and would provide many an hour of work for Mother, who would do her magic on the old treadle Singer sewing machine.

Before it was bedtime, we could hear the wind picking up outside and the back door shuddered with the storm’s onset. Father put a log as long as a broom handle into the stove and Audrey, without being asked, rolled up two small braided rugs and put them at the bottoms of the doors leading outside and into the summer kitchen.

The kitchen was as warm as we could make it.

So Father was right. The back of winter had not been broken - there was more to come. As the storm raged outside, Mother let out a deep sigh and rubbed her hands over the new pieces of Dan River cotton.

EMC news - Debilitating falls are a major issue for older people.

Every year, one in three Canadians over the age of 65 will take a fall – often with serious consequences.

Injuries such as hip, wrist and pelvic fractures are common in this age group and can have a lasting impact on an individual’s quality of life.

However, there are easy things that can be done to help.

Most falls happen in the home, so that is the first place to start taking precautions.

Your physical health is also important.

Talk to a health professional, such as a chiropractor, about evaluating your risks.

A few steps of prevention can help you stay safely on your feet, as follows: • Remove your reading glasses when you are walking.

Always slip them off before you take a step.

• Never climb on a chair or stool to reach something. Always ask for assistance.

• If you have a pet such as a cat or dog, consider putting a bell or reflector on its collar.

It’s easy to stumble across an affectionate or sleeping pet that’s in your path.

• Take your time. If you frequently find yourself rushing to pick-up the phone, consider investing in a cordless phone that you can keep near you.

Don’t rush to answer the door. The visitor will wait.

• Always sit down to put on or take off shoes and clothing.

Place a chair or bench near the entrance.

• Keep hallways and stairs free of grandchildren’s toys.

• Wear shoes or slippers with non-slip soles indoors.

That means you might have to give up that pair of loose, comfy slippers with the worn soles.

• Ask for help if you need it. Most people like to lend a hand.

McComb offers Gift From the Heart sherry.haaima@metroland.com

EMC lifestyle - An area dental hygienist has continued her tradition of community service with a third free dental clinic in as many years.

Registered dental hygienist Patty McComb participates in the Gift From the Heart program, run by independent dental practitioners and designed to reach out to those who are not able to financially afford vital dental hygiene care.

For the third year, McComb welcomed clients from 3 to 18 years old at the clinic on Madawaska Boulevard.

The event was another success.

The clinic was open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and saw many children of all ages and produced many, many healthy smiling faces, said McComb.

All were very appreciative, she added, and for some it was their first visit to a dental hygienist.

CAREER OPPORTUNITY

BOARD DIRECTORS The Renfrew Victoria Hospital Corporation is governed by a volunteer Board. This year four Directors will be elected to serve a three year term and this year four Incumbent Directors are eligible to re-apply. Applications are being accepted for potential openings at the end of the current term as well as vacancies that could arise on the Hospital Board during the year. Please visit the RVH website for further details.

The Board is responsible for the governance of the Hospital, being alert to the healthcare needs of the region, working to provide sufďŹ cient resources to ensure the Hospital is able to fulďŹ ll its mandate, and ensuring that resources are used efďŹ ciently and effectively. The Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decisions have substantial impact on the Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s viability and the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healthcare services.

The Governance Committee of the Board is calling for applications from interested individuals who have a commitment to providing strategic policy direction and leadership for the continued development of the hospital and are prepared to commit personal time and effort of approximately 10-15 hours a month. Criteria have been established for the selection of directors to ensure a balance of skills, relevant experience, competencies and perspectives.

Peacefully at the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital on Saturday morning, February 16, 2013 at the age of 73. Gill, born in England to Wilfred and Ethel Furze, immigrated to Canada with her family in 1972.

Wife and partner of Roger for 50 years, mother of Jonathan and Melinda and grandmother to beloved Jalal and Khadije. Gill is survived by her sister Janet (England) and brother Nicholas (B.C.) who have been a great comfort to her. Her friends were all so important and supportive over these last difďŹ cult months.

Thank you to John (Danby), Joyce, Eileen and Leah, Dorothy, Linda, Elizabeth, Judy, Dianne, Valerie, Gwen, Margy, Barbara, Cari, Marilyn and Allen, Rosanna, David and Allison, Lois, Katherine, Victoria. Gill worked for the Anglican dioceses in Bristol and Wells, UK before her family arrived. She lived with her family in Greece, Scotland, Vancouver, London, England before immigrating to Canada, settling in the wonderful farming community of Lochwinnoch, where the family operated their farm for 15 years. Gill had a large vegetable garden and 5 acres of â&#x20AC;&#x153;pick your own strawberriesâ&#x20AC;?. When we moved to Arnprior, Gill developed her passion for perennial ďŹ&#x201A;owers and rock plants on a peninsula of the Canadian Shield jutting into the Madawaska River. She had numerous garden tours and her garden was featured in the Ottawa quarterly magazine. She also had many plant sales for the Stephan Lewis Foundation for aids in Africa. Gil was an avid reader and a great supporter of the Arnprior Library and the Arnprior Book Shop. She belonged to the Madawaska Book Club, Ottawa Rock Garden Society and the Royal Horticultural Society (England). She formed the Conversational Garden group (wine and garden chat) and the winter Scrabble group when she could not be in her garden. Finally she belonged to the Stratford Girls who made the annual pilgrimage to get their ďŹ ll of Shakespeare.

Visitations at The Boyce Funeral Home Chapel, Visitation and Reception Centre 138 Daniel Street N. Arnprior on Wednesday February 20, 2013 from 1-3 p.m. A memorial service celebrating the life of Gillian Danby will be held at 3: p.m. in The Boyce Chapel conducted by Reverend Canon Allen Box. Immediately following the service, you are invited to a reception in The Boyce reception Centre to continue with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;wine and chatâ&#x20AC;?. Cremation will take place after the service with burial in early July to observe the fruits of Gillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Garden labours. Donations in place of ďŹ&#x201A;owers will go to Gillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favored charities: Doctors Without Borders, World Vision, Primates World Relief Fund, Ottawa Civic Hospital and the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital where she received great care from all the doctors and nursing staff.

Directors shall be a resident or employed or carried on business in Renfrew County for a continuous period of six months immediately prior to being appointed.

ASD dancers fly high at Flying Solo competition

EMC entertainment - Back in September, students of Main Street School of Music were put together into ‘garage bands’.

Members of these bands consisted of four or five students who can play specific instruments such as guitar, drums, bass, and vocals.

After long months of coming together to rehearse and coming up with songs, the bands are finally ready to show off their talents.

The third annual Garage Band Rock Show will be held on Friday, March 8 at the Masonic Hall at 31 James St. in Arnprior.

Hear the sounds of Blank Canvas, Slightly Out of Tune, Mountain Creek, 2 Against 3, and The Big Nasties. Admission is $5 at the door; proceeds will go towards the purchase of new equipment for use of students and teachers.

EMC entertainment – Nine members from the Arnprior School of Dance competed on the Family Day weekend at the Flying Solo Ottawa dance competition.

They competed in the disciplines of Tap, Lyrical, Hip Hop and Musical Theatre. Their teachers are very pleased with how well each group performed and are looking forward to a great season of competitions ahead, culminating with the Shine National finals this July in Huntsville, said school owner Monica Lyons.

Anna MacHardy from White Lake at age 6 was the school’s youngest competitive dancer. She did extremely well, receiving a ‘high excellence’ award with her first ever solo tap performance, re-

ports Lyons.

Thomas Cherney received a superior award for his tap solo and a plaque for the top solo in the competition. Vanessa Farmer, Mallory Brumm and Chelsea Robillard also received a superior award for their Musical Theatre Trio and a plaque for the top trio in the competition.

The Arnprior School of Dance has a six-week program starting this May for kids toddler age and up. There will be parent and toddler classes, combination programs, acrobatics, musical theatre and hip hop classes.
