Destination Imagination

Derek Dunn/Metroland

Alexa Lesway, left, Hannah Raudssus, Kayla Munro, Liam Gillett and Owen McMaster of Walter Zadow Public School are hard at work during the Destination Imagination competition Saturday afternoon. The team qualified for the provincial finals last year, but couldn’t make it a repeat. Instead, two groups from St. John XXIII Catholic School will represent Arnprior. If they win the Pickering competition, it is off to the international finals in the United States. To learn more about competition - which has doubled in popularity over the last two years - see our story on page 12.

The Sand Point lighthouse could have a new owner and prestigious tagline if John Brady has his way. Brady, on behalf of the Arnprior and District Historical Society, asked township council at its March 3 meeting to consider taking over the lighthouse. It would mean about $1,000 per year for upkeep, but the society will cover half, fundraise a quarter, and charge rent to a nearby golf club for the rest. The federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans identified some 200 lighthouses across Canada as surplus (to current operational requirements), including Sand Point’s, and is offloading them. Some will have significant historical value and deserve money for preservation. Brady is confident the lighthouse has a strong case for historical designation and should fall under the municipality’s responsibility.

Only a few original lighthouses remain on the entire Ottawa River. The lighthouse on the old ferry wharf at Sand Point is, according to the historical society’s submission, “emblematic of an entire way of life that took place for over 100 years, starting in the early 1800s.� “This was a time when steam, coal and oil-fired passenger ferries, timber rafts, tugboat-drawn log booms and river-borne freighters played a dominant role in the settlement and development of the upper Ottawa valley, and indeed, Ottawa itself.� Ferry service from Sand Point to Norway Bay, Que., ended in the 1960s, about a decade after the squared timber, and pulp and paper industries wound down. Railway is also gone. “Thus, the Sand Point lighthouse, and its dwindling number of peers, represents one of the last remaining links to our rich local history of life on the river,� reads the submission. “Understandably, our society wants to ensure it is persevered.� The lighthouse is considered in “excellent condition� though some wood rot is in the trim around the glass housing for the navigational beacon.

Springing leaks

Derek Dunn/Metroland

Along with the major watermain burst last week (see story and photos on page 31), another leak sprung in a sanitary service line on Madawaska at Elgin streets on Monday. Traffic was rerouted most of the day. Public works director Guy Bourgon blamed moving frost in the ground, but that it is nothing out of the ordinary for this time of year. “ Repairs are part of the price of the service,� he said. The operating budget has enough money to deal with the repairs, including another at the one way beside Super Lucky Dollar on John Street. Most of the work is done by town staff, though some heavy equipment and operators were contracted. Meanwhile, in Smiths Falls, there is grave concern about the coming spring thaw. Already burst pipes have cost the town $60,000, according to the CEO’s report to council. They have unfrozen more than 120 pipes.

Lighthouse at Sand Point among few remenants of river’s past The wharf will remain under the federal government’s control for a few more years (until a land claims process with the Algonquins is concluded). It will likely be transferred to the municipality at that time.

Continued from front

And there exists a slight listing of the structure. But the light itself works fine for recreational purposes. Although the group gets just $800 a year from the provincial government, it is willing to commit $500 toward the lighthouse’s upkeep, and will do an annual wine-and-cheese fundraiser for another $250. The Arnprior Golf Club has electrical control gear for water pumps on site, so has agreed to pay another $250 in rent. Although the transfer would likely have been easier if Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant had supported the movement to designate the Ottawa a heritage river,

HISTORY

The federal government is offloading lighthouses, including this one in Sand Point. Brady is hopeful the transfer can be made.

For hundreds of years the Ottawa has been one of North America’s most important water resources, used initially for hunting, fishing and trading by indigenous peoples. Later, in the 17th century, European explorers, traders and farmers and settlers utilized the river. In the early 1820s, Alexander McDonnell cleared a farm and built a log house at Sand Point. Later he

built a general store are large stone house where he lived until his death in 1875. The home is currently owned by Arnprior and District Museum curator Janet Carlile, who has done extensive restoration. It is the oldest occupied stone house in Renfrew County. The Sand Point Lighthouse is the only original one remaining on the stretch of the river between Ottawa and the Pembroke-Deep River region. The current lighthouse was built sometime prior to 1909. It is typical and representative of the architectural style of the Ottawa River lighthouses: square, tapered towers with a small lantern room at the top for the light.

“The lighthouse is a highly visible and recognizable symbol of the community’s role in the local logging industry, when tug boat captains pulling the log booms down to mills in Braeside, Arnprior and Ottawa would use the lighthouse to guide them safely into the deeper channels, or to the adjacent wharves for re-fueling, or to effect repairs,� reads the submission. It continues to provide year-round navigational assistance to recreational boaters and snowmobile enthusiasts and is included on current Ottawa River navigational charts. Council has asked staff to go over the group’s figures and report back at a future meeting with a recommendation.

McNab-Braeside has narrowed down the date for its first town hall meeting. At a recent meeting, council asked staff to pick either Wednesday, April 1 or Thursday, April 16 for the community gathering. It will depend on McNab Public Schoolʼs schedule, the location of the event. “That will be our first town hall meeting,” said Mayor Tom Peckett, who campaigned on having better communications between the municipality and residents. “We are hoping the township chambers (rooms) are too small (to accommodate the numbers attending).” One of the likely topics for the first meeting will be what the public would like to see be done about the sorry state of many of the townshipʼs buildings. At the Feb. 17 council meeting, Coun. Mark MacKenzie urged council to quickly set a date for the first townhall meeting, preferably before the township budget was passed, although that didnʼt prove feasible. He also noted that holding a townhall meeting soon is needed to deal with the public “misunderstanding” revolving around the proposal to eliminate the public question period at the end of council meetings. Thirdly, “I do think that we need to hear from as many people as we can about things like Energy East (pipeline),” he added. Coun. Heather Lang agreed that holding a townhall meeting ear-

ly in councilʼs term would generate engagement with the public and spark interest in municipal affairs, as well as “show weʼre moving out into the community.” The raising of the issue prompted a debate on how the meetings should be structured. MacKenzie asked whether public questions should be written or will there be an open mic. Mayor Tom Peckett suggested the sessions should be an informal venue for citizens to bring up concerns and comment on municipal issues. However, itʼs not the time to debate council on matters, he said. “People can ask for clarification … but mainly itʼs a time for council to listen,” he said. “People should be letting us know what they want for the township.” If people have specific questions, perhaps they should be asking them as an official delegation at a council meeting, he added. Deputy Mayor Brian Armsden said he felt itʼs inevitable that residents will ask questions at the townhall meetings. “I think there should be some sort of exchange,” he said. “Thatʼs how new ideas come forward.” If there are questions, they should be written so they can be directed to the proper department, responded Peckett. Lang said that public input should be encouraged by stressing that at the meetings, “We want to hear from you (ratepayers),” not vice versa. The sessions should be promoted on the website, she added. -With files from Derek Dunn

There is an immediate need to replace the Braeside sand/salt shed, it is rusted and considered dangerous. A public meeting will be held in McNab-Braeside to ask residents to prioritize building replacements.

Deputy mayor wants two facilities built this summer Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

As township staff plan topics for a public meeting on the 10-year building strategy, council has already decided to replace two facilities this summer. Deputy Mayor Brian Armsden suggested replacing the canteen, washroom and equipment room at the McNab Centre ball park. He also suggested replacing the canteen, washrooms and change room at White Lake Park. The projects are similar in scope and design, so tendering them together could result in cost savings, he reasoned. Armsden opted to recommend going ahead with the projects at the March 3 meeting, which all of council accepted, because a large bantam softball championship is coming to McNab Park in August. “It would lend itself to promote the township,â€? Armsden said. “If we are planning new facilities in the future, why not before the province comes to our door?â€? The small scale projects are doable this year, provided the tender process kicks in soon, staff said. Work would have to get going in June because championship pre-qualiďŹ ers begin in July. Council wasnĘźt worried about missing out on possible provincial grants related to infrastructure re-

Anyone who ever suffered from them knows - it is very annoying and uncomfortable to deal with a bladder or urinarey tract infection. The urge to “peeâ€? and the constant burning can drive one up the wall, ending in utter frustration and miserability. As this is a very private issue, we usually don’t talk about it. Therefore, our reactions to others may seem strange to them and we may become quite intolerable of things and short tempered as a result. Finally we can’t handle it anymore and we end up at our Doctors ofďŹ ce for antibiotic treatment. This condition is wide spread mainly in women, but males also may experience an uncomfortable bladder infection. If it is left untreated, it may threaten to work its way further up through the uretha and ďŹ nally to the kidney. Under no circumstances do you ever want a bladder infection turn into a kidney infection. Be on guard, monitor it, but if you can’t turn it around it needs treatment. Repetitive bladder infections become more serious as the constant intake of antibiotics will eventually make us resistent and prescriptions have to be stronger and stronger over time to take effect. That in turn causes another potential problem. In case one is really getting severely ill, antibiotics may not work at all. That’s why our stake on bladder and urinary tract infection is prevention and “nipping it in the budâ€? before it gets out of hand or even ever becomes a chronic issue. Heilkunst is extremely effective in treating bladder infections. We prep people with a variety of remedies and/or dietary changes that even someone who has been suffering from chronic bladder infections will be free of them rather sooner than later‌just imagine - what a freedom that is!‌No more antibiotics! And the peace of mind that comes with it, to know, that once you actually need antibitoic treatment for a more serious illness, they will work again. Heilkunst treats the root cause and the symptoms all at once. If you are sick and tired to have this annoying burning, itching and urging ‌ jump on the “bandwaggonâ€? and try our Heilkunst treatment! There is no need to suffer‌believe me‌and these ladies‌

PUBLIC TO BE CONSULTED

At the March 3 council meeting, staff informed council of topics for the public meeting to gather input on the 10-year building plan. The township is facing $1.4 million in buildings repairs and replacements, with little in reserves to pay for them. There is an immediate need to replace the Braeside sand/salt shed. The township ofďŹ ces lack provincially-mandated accessibility, ďŹ re and public works buildings will be too small when planned residential developments are completed. The Braeside RA Centre should be replaced by 2018. The town hall meeting date has yet to be determined, but it will cover three areas: the scope of a future township hall (meeting space, art gallery, theatre, archives, and more?); a review of hamletsĘź needs (are recreation and other needs being met?); and future location and requirements for a community hall.

newal. The availability of grants is spotty at best, plus projects must be “shovel ready� anyway, and governments across Canada are scaling back on such grants. Staff will still look for grant opportunities, but council is fairly certain the township is on its own to fund the projects. The issue was to be discussed at a meeting this week.

The new McNab-Braeside council is obviously not superstitious. With councilĘźs second meeting of the month falling smack dab in the middle of the March Break, councillors agreed a date change was needed. At least two of the councillors are taking advantage of the school holiday and going away on vacation, so

wonĘźt be around for the March 17 meeting. Therefore, council agreed to alter the date of the meeting. The new date: Friday the 13th. The meeting will be held at the usual time of 7 p.m., but will be in the township ďŹ re hall across from the municipal ofďŹ ce as the Ontario Municipal Board has taken over council chambers for the month.

Town to ask Boeing to install water line Scott Campbell scottcampbell@metroland.com

Arnprior has approved the extension of a town water main to the airport and nearby proproperties because of contamination from the former Boeing plant that could affect wells in the area. Public works director Guy Bourgon told council that water analysis on properties on Johnston Road near the Arnprior Airport indicated the water line would be needed. He recommended a 75-mm diameter water main be built to extend the water service to the airport and properties on Johnston Road. The town anticipates Boeing will pay the cost, which will be about $500,000. Reeve Walter Stack suggested a larger watermain was needed and voted against the recomendation, as did Coun. Dan Lynch also voted

no. However, the majority of council approved the watermain extension. Once the line is built and the properties connected, the wells in the area will be decommissioned and prohbited on the impacted properties. ACCESSIBILITY PLAN

A multi-year accessibility plan was presented as information for the council. The report follows the legislation set out by the Ontario government in 2005 in the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act. There were items such as the work at Town Hall to offer ease of access. Improvements at the Nick Smith Centre and the museum were also highlighted. The Town of Arnprior has met all of the legislative requirements and intends to stay ahead of the curve, council was told.

EDITORIAL

The real dirt M

any publications pass through the Chronicle-Guide newsroom, but one earlier this year caught our attention. Titled The Real Dirt on Farming, the 50-page magazine is a publication of the Farm and Food Care Foundation. The goal of the coalition of farmers and associated businesses is to cultivate appreciation for food and farming in Canada “by connecting farm gates to our dinner plates.â€? All too often, the rural-urban divide is used to score cheap political points, to pit rural communities against their urban counterparts – the concentrations of population that provide critical employment to our family, friends and neighbours. Urban Canada is not our enemy. It is our market, the route to economic viability for innovative rural regions willing to see city dwellers as potential customers and partners in progress. Rural living is a blessing and if Arnprior and area communities want economic security their residents must not fall into the small-minded Us-Vs-Them mentality that some espouse. The Real Dirt on Farming is jam-packed with interesting facts about farming, one of which is the fact that in 1931 one in three Canadians lived on a farm. Today, itĘźs one in 50.

The coalition asked 1,200 Canadians what they would like to know about food and farming. The result is the magazine, whose ďŹ ndings can also be found at www.realdirtonfarming.ca The magazine also notes that in 1900, 50 cents of every dollar was spent on food but today Canadians spend just over 10 cents of every dollar on food. So what is a rural region to do? First, practice what it preaches by buying Canadian, and particularly Ontario and Renfrew County-grown products whenever possible. If we wonĘźt support our own community, how can we expect others to see the value in our products, goods and services? Second, honour the sacriďŹ ces of our rural ancestors by respecting and protecting our lands and waters. DonĘźt pollute and donĘźt buy into the shallow and self-centred assumption that just because you own land you can do whatever you want with it. The land will be there long after you leave it. Third, commit to a spirit of partnership with urban communities (where your children and grandchildren likely live and work; crafting lives just as you, your parents and grandparents did). Defy the drive of power-hungry politicians to foster confrontation. The Real Dirt on Farming closes with a message that notes our common need. It says “Ultimately, we all want the same thing: food that is reliable, affordable, safe, nutritious and responsibly produced.â€?

Gallant playing partisan politics poorly To the Editor: Cheryl Gallant is playing partisan politics at the expense of our children’s education, knowledge, and potentially safety. Since when is learning the concept of consent immoral? Since when does learning the basics of sexual education and health groom children for sexual abuse? Our federal member of parliament should be ashamed of her behaviour based on these concepts alone, but we know she is not. Humility is not a concept known to this gaffe-prone and pseudo-ideologically driven

monger of fear. Mrs. Gallant must also think very lowly of our esteemed and respected provincial member of parliament John Yakabuski, as she has consistently weighed in on his provincial issues; while ignoring the issues that she was elected to deal with I suppose that would be exceedingly hard for her to do in an election year, considering the fact that there is really no good news for her to showcase in her usual photo opportune way. Recently Canadian Nuclear Laboratories in Chalk River put out a press release stating

that their reactor will be decommissioned beginning in 2018. Three hundred to 500 people will be laid off. Job security for employees, pensions, and the economic future of nearby municipalities is now more uncertain than ever. Cheryl Gallant had nothing to say on the issue despite being voted chair of the Conservative Nuclear Industry Caucus. We have heard nothing from her on the recent decline of the Canadian economy as the drop in oil prices has crippled the one industry that this government seems to care about: oil sands.

Cheryl Gallant has failed to adequately represent the position of Renfrew-NipissingPembroke (home to Canada’s largest military base) on Iraq and other conflicts; despite her avowed (and token) support of our Armed Forces. Mrs. Gallant needs to show some respect for Mr. Yakabuski and stick to federal issues instead of wasting her taxpayerfunded resources on provincial issues.

But what is unusual, in fact unique among finches, is that goldfinch See MALES, Page 11 feather moult starts in March; all other finches undergo moult in late summer. Goldfinch bills also transform, changing from black to bright orange. This colour and the brilliant yellow of the males’ plumage are due to carotene pigments derived from their diet. The better fed a male goldfinch, the more intense his plumage colouration. And the better looking a male goldfinch is, the better his chances of acquiring a mate: studies have revealed that females who are mate shopping choose the best-looking males. This makes good sense because if a male is good at finding food in late winter when conditions are tough, he will likely also be good at finding food for hungry babies in summer. Common Redpolls are close relatives of goldfinches and also change colour in March. However, they don’t grow new feathers at this time. Like most finches, redpolls undergo feather moult at summer’s end, and this is the only moult they have during the entire year (goldfinches experience a second moult in late summer, one that puts them into drab winter plumage).

The pink on male Common Redpolls is becoming more intense but not because of feather replacement.

Males change colours for mating season Continued from Page 10

In males, those colours are bright pink or red, and these are starting to show right now. Both species change colour in preparation for the mating season, but why do goldfinches use feather moult while redpolls change colour by feather wear? Perhaps it is because redpolls are northern birds while goldfinches are more southern. Redpolls often remain well north of here in winter,

and moulting when conditions are extremely cold and food is hard to find creates considerable physiological stress; on the other hand, feather wear requires no energy. As goldfinches spend winter under considerably more favourable conditions, perhaps their energy levels are sufficient to allow moult to occur. When it comes to birds, there is more than one way to look their best in spring! The Nature Number is 613-3872503; email is mruntz@start.ca.

The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) will present the sixth lecture in their current series on March 19. The presentation will be held in the social hall of Almonte United Church at 7:30 p.m. The guest speaker will be Justin Peter, director of programs and senior naturalist for Quest Nature Tours. He has entitled his talk ‘Servants and Masters: Trees on the Landscape’. Prior to working at Quest, Peter was senior naturalist at Ontario’s worldrenowned Algonquin Park where he co-ordinated the park’s interpretive program and recruited promising junior naturalists. He is a popular speaker at birding festivals and nature clubs, including MVFN and is researcher for regional and international projects and publications. He founded the Facebook page ‘Landmark Trees of Ontario’, which features some of Ontario’s many remarkable trees and their stories. He recently led the review of the popular book Trees of Algonquin Provincial Park (author Dan Strickland), the latest edition of which was released in 2015. The book emphasizes that “…of all the living things that inhabit Algonquin Provincial Park, none are more important than trees.” “In one sense, trees are passive elements of the landscape, vulnerable to the vagaries of environmental change and human activity,” says Peter. “On the other hand, they are tremendously adaptable and responsive to opportunity, and their presence (or absence) influences life all around

In this illustrated talk, we will discover some of what our native trees can tell us about our landscapes as we explore the diverse ecological and cultural roles that they play - past and present - as well as their potential to enrich our future landscapes.” Peter will expand on this statement as he discusses how the economic value placed on different trees affects how much or how little we know about them and their conservation status. His talk will enlighten about how important specific trees are to the wildlife that depends on them for survival. He will discuss the existence and magnitude of ongoing threats to the

survival of trees, including those posed by pests, diseases and climate change. As well, he will describe the under-appreciated presence of historic trees in nature and their great potential to help re-forest the landscape. In discussing these topics, Peter will make us aware of how our own values affect the ability of trees to survive and flourish. Refreshments and discussion will follow the talk. There is a non-member fee of $5. For further information, please contact MVFN’s Program Chair, Gretta Bradley, at glbradley@icloud. com.

Students descend on Destination Imagination Derek Dunn

It’s not as fun as hockey, but it’s a close second. That was the conclusion Carson Hanson drew from his day-long Destination Imagination competition held in Arnprior last weekend. The Renfrew Timberwolves peewee player and Queen Elizabeth Public School student joined a team of six others for the event. Students from 53 schools, mostly from Ren-

For instance, Walter Zadow Public School student Hannah Raudssus and her team were given a piece of gum and lottery ticket and a few other objects. The setting was a school bus.

Sound, blasting, site plan issues raised at Quarry OMB hearing john.carter@metroland.com

Issues revolving around sound, blasting and buffers took centre stage as the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing into Miller Paving Ltd.’s expansion at the Braeside Quarry completed its first full week. OMB chairman Marc Denhez is hearing testimony in McNab-Braeside council chambers from representatives of Miller’s, which is appealing township council’s denial of its plans to locate a permanent asphalt plant in the quarry. John Ewart, Tom Jones and Gary Bell of Skelton, Brumwell Associates are among the officials representing Miller’s. Denhez is also hearing cross examination from representatives of neighbours appealing the scope of the expansion. They maintain that the quarry operations have and will continue to seriously impact their ability to enjoy their properties. Among those representing the public appellants are Romani Nadarajah and Rick Lindgren of the Canadian Environmental Law Association (CELA), an indication of how important the organization views this “David and Goliath case,� say residents. The hearing, which began March 2, is scheduled to last a month, with Miller’s appeal likely to wrap up early next week. The residents, many members of Friends Addressing Concerns Together (FACT-MB), will then present their case. The public is welcome at the sessions, which

There were also concerns that the berms could be located on the buffer and not in the extraction zone itself.

A township councillor is hopeful McNabBraeside can save money on OPP by following best practices from another Eastern Ontario county. A letter from the OPP business management commander, Andrew Eamer, informed the township of changes meant to bring more rationale to billing. For many years smaller municipalities complained of inconsistencies in billings: similar sized towns would pay very different amounts for police services. The OPP offered weak explanations in return. The issue was straightened out last year, thanks to a group led by Arnprior Mayor David Reid. But while cities and towns, including Arnprior, will save hundreds of thousands of dollars in the coming years. rural areas will see a spike in OPP costs to compensate. McNab-Braeside is bracing residents for a 2 per cent levy increase this year solely for policing. It could double next year. Eamer’s letter generalized about increasing accountability and transparency, consistency and standardization in its ‘reporting framework’. By April, he said, clear statis-

tics on public safety will be available. Municipalities can then provide feedback. “The tool will be fully operational by October of this year,” Eamer said. “This will better inform our respective communitylevel decisions and billing information.” Coun. Scott Brum sounded a hopeful note, pledging to find out more from the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry. He said that jurisdiction, for example, has just one upper management OPP officer; Renfrew’s has three. And there are other areas to save money through efficiencies. “It works. It’s been done down there,” Brum said. “It can be done here and save a lot of money.”

cant role in policing, according to the Department of Public Safety, from ticketing to cybercrime. Private contractors rather than higher-paid sworn officers may be the better route, some suggest. Others caution that a more robust governance model should be in place before private contractors are given more authority. Accountability must accompany profit motives, they say. StatsCan reports the crime rate continues on a downward trend since hitting a peak in the early 1990s. But costs in Canada have gone from $3.77 billion in 1986 to $13.52 billion in 2013.

PRIVATE POLICE

Meanwhile, the federal Conservative government is examining the possibility of privatizing some policing services. A study will look at the role private security firms could play in traditional public policing areas. With historically low crime rates and skyrocketing costs – largely due to wages – the government is considering a new model to tackle costs. The private sector already plays a signifi-

Town approves funding for Elgin, John street developments Scott Campbell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

Two buildings in downtown Arnprior will getting a new look after town council approved two applications for Community Improvement Plan funding. The latest application, to pave the way for a women’s clothing boutique at 14 Elgin St. (see related story below), generated discussion at council’s Feb. 23 meeting, Earlier this year, council approved funding for renovations that will change a home at 27 John St. across from the Pilon Funeral Home to offices The building on Elgin Street has been vacant for some time, council was told, but the new owners hope

to transform the façade before opening the boutique in May and upgrade the upstairs into two one-room apartments, which council agreed upon. The development will be receiving financial assistant from Arnprior’s Façade and Property and Heritage Property Improvement programs. In a discussion over the amount to be granted the building’s owners, councillors stressed that there would be no favoritism and that future deserving projects would receive the same amount. The owners will receive a $5,000 incentive through grants and rebates to proceed with the project. Council received a staff report recommending zoning bylaw amendment to allow encroachment

for required yard mechanical units, but farther discussion was put into a public Committee of Adjustment meeting on April 15. Regarding the building at 27 John St., the town’s marketing and economic development officer, Lindsay, Wilson, told council that the owners had originally planned to renovate the home. However, they determined that wasn’t feasible because it is in need of “significant repair in many areas,” so instead decided to demolish the building and construct a new one on the foundation. The new building will be similar in size to the current one, but the main floor will be used for office space. It has been designed to complement the surrounding buildings and

properties and takes into account the historic nature of the downtown. Wilson explained that the façade would give the structure a farm building look. As well, there will be landscaping improvements. “It should fit into the neighbourhood nicely,” she said, adding that being next to the former CN line trail it is in a high visibility area. “It will look nice.” The new development will relocate a successful, growing local business to the downtown core, bringing with them their growing number of customers who will frequent their office in Arnprior’s downtown, Wilson reported. The new development will also improve the streetscape and continue

to grow the commercial presence in that area of the downtown, she added. As the project is in the $200,000plus range, it is eligible for $5,000 in incentives under the Community Improvement Plan (CIP). Half will come from the Facade and Property Improvement Program funded from the CIP grants operating account approve in the 2015 town budget. As well the project is eligible for a rebate of 50 per cent of planning and building application costs and a grant equivalent to the amount of the town’s portion of the property tax increase. The taxes on the property will increase as the improvement will boost its assessed value. With files from John Carter

Boutique to open in downtown Arnprior incentive through the Town’s Community Improvement Program to assist with the cost of restoring some heritage aspects of the building’s façade, along with converting the second level into a rental apartment. Jade and Laney Boutique will be opening in late May and will carry women’s and plus size clothing. The Boutique will offer “affordable items, a fabulous concept and a vintage flair,” says the town’s release. “Economic development and downtown re-

vitalization are key priority areas of the town’s strategic plan and it is very encouraging to see results coming from the effort and changes that have taken place over the past few years to attract new businesses and investment in Arnprior,” said Mayor David Reid. “This new store will help fill a gap identified by the town’s Retail Demand Study. It will also fill a vacancy in the downtown, and it will assist in revitalizing the appearance of the downtown by upgrading the façade of the building with assistance from the Town’s Community Improvement Plan.” To stay up-to-date on the boutique’s progress and receive more information on the upcoming opening, the owners have started up Jade & Laney Boutique Facebook page at www. facebook.com/jadelaneyboutique.

A new women’s clothing boutique will be opening in downtown Arnprior this spring with the help of a town grant. The Town of Arnprior announced Monday in a news release that the Jade and Laney Boutique will be located at 14 Elgin St. “Town staff has been working over the past couple of months and will continue to support owners Lisa Hogan and Hugo Lafleche with making their vision for the store a reality,” adds the release. The owners have received a $5,000 financial

County plans road work in McNab-Braeside John.carter@metroland.com

The County of Renfrew will undertake several road projects in McNab-Braeside this year, township council was told at its Feb. 17 meeting. Two kilometres of River Road between Usborne Street in Braeside and Toner Road will be rehabilitated in a $400,000 project in 2015. Other county routes in McNab-Braeside to be worked on this year include Lochwinnoch Road between Goshen and Miller roads ($1 million), McLean Drive between Usborne Street and Highway 17 ($550,000), Burnstown Road between White Lake Road and the Waba Creek Bridge ($200,000), and White Lake Road between Burnstown Road and the Waba Creek

Bridge ($100,000). Mayor Tom Peckett explained that the work on McLean Drive will end short of Highway 17 because that section will wait for repaving for a couple of years when the four-laning reaches the intersection. The county 2015 budget also includes $250,000 for replacement of Armstrongs Culvert on Russett Drive. The county has allocated $150,000 for planning and engineering involving the Claybank Bridge on White Lake Road and $50,000 for design of Cameron Culvert on Usborne Street. In Arnprior, the county has budgeted $150,000 for engineering work on the Madawaska River Bridge. The full list of road projects will be put on the township’s website.

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant (left) was on hand to observe how a federal accessibility grant will be spent at the Galilee Centre. The money will go toward a new wheelchair platform ramp. Galilee operations manager Ken Mansfield and executive director Jessica Hetherington were on hand to give Gallant a rundown of the centre and the project.

THE RCDSB IS ISSUING A REQUEST FOR REPLACEMENTS AT VARIOUS RCDSB LOCATIONS.

The Galilee Centre became a nonprofitable charitable organization in 1988. So accessibility is very important to allow it to fulfill its goals. The Galilee Centre is on a mission to provide programs that develop peopleʼs personal and spiritual growth, which allows them to contribute to a healthier world. The centre covers 35 acres on the edge of Gillies Grove in Arnprior and can accommodate about 45 people and up to 65 maximum, just for meals. On March 2, Renfrew-NipissingPembroke MP Cheryl Gallant was on hand to learn about the planned renovation for a wheelchair platform ramp, which will be party paid for by money from the ʻEnabling Accessibility Programʼ The grant was approved because the project falls under the criteria of “renovating, retrofitting or constructing community facilities where programs or services are offered to people with disabilities.” The amount of the grant is $16,640. Gallant commended the application process that the centre went through. “Thereʼs hard work done here,” she said. Galilee executive director Jessica Hetherington noted the approval of the grant came just before Christmas, which made for a happy season.

New Valley fastball team may play out of Carp, McNab

VILLENEUVE KARATE SCHOOL/SUBMITTED

Storm doesn’t deter karate students

The bad storm on Feb. 28 did not stop students, including those from the Villeneuve Karate School in Arnprior, from travelling to Gracefield, Quebec to participate in a karate tournament. The local attendees report it was a well organized event with many strong competitors. Arnprior Sensei Claude Villeneuve acknowledged the efforts of Senseis Lachapelle and Lavigne (seen with the Arnprior contingent above) for hosting the tournament and congratulated all the Arnprior students who participated and performed very well.

At the annual Greater Ottawa Fastball League winter meeting on Feb. 26, the Ottawa Valley was was accepted unanimously as the eighth league team for the 2015 season. Ottawa Valley will primarily play home games in Carp, with some possible dates as well in McNab-Braeside and Pakenham. The Ottawa Valley As join the existing seven teams from the 2014 season: Fitzroy Harbour West Carleton Electric, Quyon Flyers, Micksburg Twins, Stittsville 56ers, Kanata Pirates (playing out of Carp), I4C Victory and Kars Aces (both playing out of Manotick). Each team will play an 18-game season, followed by a new playoff format, with series play leading to a champion, replacing the final weekend showdown tournament format used since 2011. GOFL regular season play starts the week of May 11. The Greater Ottawa Fastball League is the premier league for men’s fastpitch softball in eastern Ontario and western Quebec.

ARNPRIOR'S HISTORIC THEATRE R0103070948

This past month Parliament has been debating Bill C-26, Tougher Penalties for Child Predators Act. If anything demonstrates the need for this legislation, it is the recent report that after being charged last December, a Canadian has been sentenced to 7 years in prison for molesting a child in a third-world country. In 2013, this individual had 17 child sex offence convictions rejected after the Supreme Court of Canada ruled his case took too long to go to trial. Closer to home, is the case of the former Ontario deputy Minister of Education being convicted of child pornography offences after being identified in an international child pornography probe by investigators from New Zealand. Constituents have been telling me they believe the courts are too slow to deliver justice, and judges are handing out sentences that are too lenient for these heinous crimes. Bill C-26 amends the provisions of the Criminal Code that deal with sexual offences committed against children and young persons by increasing the mandatory minimum penalties and maximum penalties for such offences. Bill C-26 also makes the following changes to the law: r *U JODSFBTFT NBYJNVN QFOBMUJFT GPS WJPMBUJPOT PG QSPIJCJUJPO orders, probation orders and peace bonds. r *U TFUT PVU SVMFT GPS UIF JNQPTJUJPO PG DPOTFDVUJWF BOE concurrent sentences. r *U SFRVJSFT DPVSUT UP JNQPTF DPOTFDVUJWF TFOUFODFT PO PĂ­FOEFST who commit sexual offences against more than one child. r *U BNFOET UIF $BOBEB &WJEFODF "DU UP FOTVSF UIBU TQPVTFT PG accused persons can be called as witnesses for the prosecution in child pornography cases. r *U BNFOET UIF 4FY 0Ă­FOEFS *OGPSNBUJPO 3FHJTUSBUJPO "DU UP increase the reporting obligations of sex offenders who travel outside Canada. r *U FOBDUT UIF )JHI 3JTL $IJME 4FY 0Ă­FOEFS %BUBCBTF "DU to establish a publicly accessible database that contains information with respect to persons who are found guilty of sexual offences against children and who pose a high risk of committing crimes of a sexual nature. Bill C-26 reflects the ongoing efforts by our Conservative government to combat all forms of child sexual exploitation and denounce the grave and reprehensible nature of such heinous crimes.

Calabogie Ski Racing Club hosted the annual U14 Speed Camp Feb. 1820, followed by a weekend of racing in the inaugural Bill Hodgins Classic. Bill Hodgins was the founder of Calabogie Peaks, having discovered the hill when his brother almost crashed his jet plane into it. The five days of racing consisted of three days of

speed training in Super G, which is a race characterized by long sweeping turns, allowing the 12-13 year old racers to attain speeds of up to 90 kilometres an hour. Having practiced the Super G run, learning its features – including a jump – and learning safety procedures, the racers then put their skills to the test on the Saturday. The race was a Super Combined – one Super G run and one Slalom R0072724233

Game two will be played in Osgoode on St. Patrick’s Day at 7 p.m. Game three is set for Saturday March at 8 p.m. on Rink A at the Nick Smith Centre. Game four, if required, has not been scheduled yet. Arnprior and Osgoode have a long standing competitive history and this series will be one of the more exciting hockey events to be played this year in both communities, notes Packers manager Doug Heeney. The Packers, defending juvenile champions, invite all of their Arnprior hockey fans to come to the games and cheer them on to victory.

The Osgoode Rideau Senators set up a showdown with Arnprior by bumping the West Carleton Warriors out of the Ottawa area juvenile hockey championship round in convincing fashion on the weekend. The Senators padded their goals for total by pasting Carleton Place 14-1 Saturday afternoon. The win allowed Osgoode to finish second based on its goals-for total. The first-place Arnprior Juvenile Packers will host the first game of what is expected to be a competitive final series this Saturday, March 14 on Rink A at the Nick Smith Centre.

ADHS teams excel on the slopes

The Arnprior District High School ski and snowboard team had another successful season in 2015 with the local athletes moving on to EOSSAA and OFSAA championships. At the county meet on Feb. 6 at Calabogie Peaks, hardware was awarded to many Arnprior athletes. The Level 1 Girls Ski team (Hannah Scott, Katie Carry, Makenna Whetung and Kendra Dyer) and the Level 1 Boys Ski team (Travis Wilson, James Scott, Nicholas Edge, Devon Dean and Josh Fergusson) both walked away silver medals, beating out several other county teams. Grade 9 athlete Travis Wilson was also awarded an individual bronze medal for his performance and qualified for the EOSSAA skiing meet the following week. On the snowboarding side, the ADHS Level 1 Girls team won bronze medals at both the county and EOSSAA meets, earning them a birth at the provincial OFSAA championship. Tyler Burnette also qualified for OFSAA as

an individual racer. The team travelled to Collingwood, Ontario and competed at Blue Mountain Resort on Thursday Feb. 26. The Level 1 girls team placed eighth out of 18 teams at the competition and individual placings included Kaitlynn Edge 24th, Margaret Mackenzie 26th, Olivia Rattray 62nd, and Jordyn Gibeault 65th. Tyler Burnette placed 48th out of 141 boys in his first ever OFSAA competition. The team and its co-coach Krista Petrie-Wallace thank coach Karen Dodds for her 20 years of ski and snowboard coaching at ADHS. Dodds has organized numerous ski and snowboard meets over her coaching career and was awarded an OFSAA leadership award for her long-term involvement Dodds will be retiring from ADHS in January 2016, so this will be her final season as a coach. “Congratulations to all racers and Karen on a great season.”

Packers past, future positive: GM Scott Campbell

scottcampbell@metroland.com

The 2014-15 season for the Arnprior Junior B Packers has now come and gone. Coach and general manager Bill Griese was willing to look a little closer at those final two games of the playoffs, along with considering a very possible revamped season when September arrives. The series with Stittsville stretched all the way to game seven. The shift towards Stittsville winning may have started when Packers player, Luc Deschamps, suffered a season-ending injury late in game four. “(Luc’s injury) took the wind out of us,” said Griese. “We lost a bit of swagger in our game and we lost confidence. Luc is our best forward and you just can’t take 70 points out of a Junior lineup and expect everything to be normal.” If there was one player getting a nomination for most committed – goaltender Dominic Plaschy is likely the top contender. In game five, Plaschy suffered a cracked bone in his ankle. “Dominic couldn’t do any more damage to it and decided to play with it,” said Griese. “He was basically on one leg for games six and seven. It was incredible to watch him compete in that much pain and being unable to get up off of his knees on one side. To most fans he looked normal, but he wasn’t the same player after that injury.” Griese thought the effort was there, but suspected that doubt began to creep in on the players and they started to lose that sureness in how they were playing their game. Game six on Feb. 27 was a 4-2 home ice loss. “We got behind early and even though we tied it up, I thought we were on our heels for a better part of the game,” said Griese. “They pushed us and we held on, but the group of forwards they have are very good. (Sttitsville) sort of dictated the pace of play and we didn’t

the third year, no 21-year-olds will be allowed to play. This move may also see other Junior B hockey teams that have been around for years, from the Metro/Valley Conference (such as Shawville) and the Rideau/ St.Lawrence Conference left behind with no viable teams for them to play against. For now, still none of this has been made official.

have an answer.” Game seven on March 1 was a double overtime thriller, but with a heart-breaking result for the Packers. The final score was 4-3. “What a hockey game,” said Griese. “This was one of our better efforts during the series. We nursed a 3-1 lead going into the third. “Stittsville struck with a few goals to tie the game and it kind of put us in shock. We again found ourselves hanging on for dear life. “Both the overtime periods were excellent hockey and we had half-dozen real good looks at goals, but we shot wide or their goaltender made some good saves. “I know some of our guys think we let the town down,” added Griese. “Some of the new kids we had on this year’s team couldn’t believe the atmosphere in the rink for all three home games.” A question that likely won’t be answered until the hockey season finishes is what will happen with many of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League organizations. There’s been a lot of discussion on the proposed CCHL2. The concept is to align EOJHL teams with the Central Canadian Hockey League Tier 1 League, which is Junior A Hockey. “I’m pretty sure (the league) is set to get going after the EOJHL playoffs are over,” said Griese. “It’s too busy a time to focus on anything else for most teams, but the groundwork has been done. The new league will run pretty much the same as before with the exception of age limits changing in a few years and the number of games played will increase. “The main exception would be our ability here in Arnprior to draft and protect players in other areas such as West Carleton, Carp, Pakenham and Stittsville and this is key for us.” According to Griese, the new league will allow all of this year’s players to return, minus those who are too old. The team would only allow four over-age players, the year after will be two and in

RENFREW-STITTSVILLE

After having such a difficult time with the Packers, the Stittsville Rams are finding it easier, at least in the first three games, against the regular season Valley champs, the Renfrew Timberwolves, in the division’s playoff final. The Timberwolves season may be over by the time you are reading this newspaper. The Wolves lost the first three games to the Stittsville. The odds of bouncing back are stacked high against Renfrew. Stittsville goalie, Matt Couvrette, who played for the Packers last season, stood tall in the goal crease for game one in Renferw on March 3. Couvrette’s shutout bid was finally broken by the Wolves in the last five minutes of the game. The final score was a 2-1 for Stittsville. The intensity picked up a few days later in the game two, also in Renfrew, with the match going into overtime. The two teams kept within one goal of each other all night, but Stittsville proved the victor again with a 6-5 tally. For the second time of the series, the Timberwolves were kept to just one goal in game three. Couvrette continued to shine, stopping 38 of 39 Renfrew shots in a 4-1 Stittsville win. If the Wolves were able to keep the season alive with a victory Wednesday night in game four in Stittsville (after press deadline), game five would be played Friday, March 13 at Renfrew, 8 p.m.; with the final two, if needed, Sunday, March 15 at Stittsville, 2:30 p.m.; and Tuesday, March 17 at Renfrew, 8 p.m.

Mississippi Mills slashes library Sign up for March Break fun at the Arnprior library budget, saves each taxpayer $3 Karen DeLuca

Arnprior Public Library

kkent@metroland.com

Six of Mississippi Mills’ town councillors have voted in support of cutting the Mississippi Mills Public Library’s (MMPL) funding, risking a reduction in programming for 2015, to save each taxpayer just over $3 this year. At its special budget meeting on March 3, Mississippi Mills committeeof-the-whole decided to cut $14,211 from the MMPL operating budget, supporting a suggestion from Coun. John Edwards. Pam Harris, the library’s chief executive officer and chief librarian, had proposed a six per cent increase of the organization’s operating 2015 budget over their 2014 figure. This, she said, was in order to support stepped salary increases for library staff and to continue to grow their programming. However, Edwards suggested that the increase be reduced to just three per cent instead. “I don’t see why we can’t flatline the library’s operating budget,� he said when he brought the proposed cut forward. “That will still give an increase over the 2014 actuals.� Harris explained that the library’s 2014 actuals (the final total of money used in the 2014 budget year)

was lower than usual. She explained that the library had been short staffed for much of the year, and was, therefore, not paying their full salary amount. “With that kind of a cut in our funding, we’ll only be able to cover the increases in staff salaries. We won’t be able to continuing growing programming at all,� Harris added. Diane Smithson, the town’s chief executive officer, said she agreed that a reduction of three per cent was a bit excessive. “A cut like that would actually amount to a decrease in overall funding,� she said. In fact, Harris said that if committee of the whole decided to move forward with the proposed cut the library would not only have to stunt its growth, but it might actually have to cut existing programming. “People services are important in the community,� said Coun. Jane Torrance, who said she was not in support of the funding cut. She added that a cut in library programming would be especially detrimental for the municipality’s youth. When the vote was called, six councillors voted in support of the cut, while four councillors – Bernard Cameron, Christa Lowry, Jane Torrance and Duncan Abbott – did not. By the end of their

DEBT

Q: Buyer beware: what can a “credit counseling ďŹ rmâ€? do for me and what can’t it do? Aside from offering help with money management (setting up a budget) and debt counseling (a discussion of your financial options), the main service offered by most “credit counseling firmsâ€? is a debt management plan (“DMPâ€?). A DMP is a monthly repayment plan that a counselor arranges with creditors on your behalf. Essentially, a DMP is an informal proposal—with the key word being informal. In legal terms, the DMP isn’t enforceable by law. Your creditors can choose whether or not to participate, and they can back out anytime. They can also continue with or take legal action against you, and collection agencies can keep harassing you while a DMP is in place. Here’s how a DMP measures up to a formal consumer proposal which Doyle Salewski is licensed to file on your behalf: DMP t "ENJOJTUSBUPS SFRVJSFT OP TQFDJBM USBJOJOH PS DFSUJmDBUJPO t 0ĂľFST OP QSPUFDUJPO GSPN DSFEJUPST DSFEJUPST DBO TUJMM UBLF MFHBM BDUJPO BHBJOTU ZPV and collection calls can continue. t $SFEJUPS QBSUJDJQBUJPO JT WPMVOUBSZ DSFEJUPST DBO DIBOHF UIFJS NJOET CBDL out anytime t *OUFSFTU DIBSHFT NBZ DPOUJOVF VTVBMMZ BU B MPXFS SBUF

Broken watermain disrupts traffic in Arnprior Scott Campbell

Scottcampell@metroland.com

A major watermain break caused quite a stir in Arnprior last Thursday morning. Gushing water began disrupting traffic on Madawaska Boulevard and connecting streets on the east end of the Madawaska River bridge just after 8 a.m. The Madawaska Bridge, the main connector between east and west Arnprior, was closed all morning. At least three streets were off-limits to traffic for several hours. However, the town quickly determined that the break did not compromise drinking water in the area. The cause of the break was deemed to be weather-related. The effects of the coldest February on record were already starting to cause frozen water pipes problems and now the weather has been related to the disruption on Madawaska Boulevard. “The water main break on Madawaska Boulevard was caused by frost penetrating into the ground because of the extended cold weather,” said Arnprior’s director of public works Guy Bourgon. The town’s public works crews, OPP and other service officials were notified and dispatched to close off the road. Motorists trying to get around the flooding at about 8:30 a.m. before the area was cordoned off reported that there was at least a foot of water flowing onto the east side of the bridge. “It was up to cars’ bumpers,” said one driver. “I didn’t know if I was going to get through or not.” The bridge needed to be cleaned of the slush and salt washed from the road. Workers also

opened up the frozen catch basins to help drain off the water. “The area of Madawaska, Sheffield and Moe Robillard streets will be closed for the remainder of the day. Early evening at the latest,” Bourgon said in a statement about noon. “We will have to put a shovel in the ground and excavate the road to get it fixed as soon as we can. We are keeping the businesses informed. In the cities, this is happening every day,” Bourgon appealed to all motorists to obey traffic control signs and signal persons. Both the OPP and the Town of Arnprior issued advisories alerting the public to the breakage and asking motorists to avoid the area. The town provided updates on its website at http://arnprior.ca/town/accessibility/notice-of-service-disruption/. The bridge opened at about 1 p.m., but Madawaska Boulevard was closed between East Side Mario’s and Rona for most of the day. In a release, the town reported that the watermain was fully repaired with all water services restored to affected properties as of 9:30 p.m. on March 5. Fraser’s Towing and Benson Automotive were the last businesses to have water restored. The section of Madawaska Boulevard between Sheffield and Moe Robillard was open to traffic as of 11:30 p.m. “The Town of Arnprior’s drinking water has not been impacted, the town stressed. It’s the second time in the last month a water line has broken in the area. In mid-February a pipe ruptured at 4th Avenue and Riverview Street. Crews quickly repaired the pipe, but residents in the area were without water for a few hours.

Town of Arnprior workers quickly sprang into action last Thursday morning as water from a broken watermain near Reid Bros. surged down Madawaska Boulevard and flowed over the bridge into the river. The area was closed to traffic while crews spent the day cleaning up and fixing the break

Several St. Patrick’s celebrations planned around the area

Kelly Kent kkent@metroland.com Whether you’re Irish or not, there’s lots to do when it comes to St. Patrick’s celebrations this year. Back by popular demand, the Town of Mississippi Mills will once again be hosting the annual St. Pat-

rick’s Day Dance at the Stewart Community Centre in Pakenham on Tuesday, March 17. “This is an event that’s been happening for years,� said Calvin Murphy, the town’s recreation manager. “It’s a popular dance with locals, and it’s always a great time.�

The dance kicks off at 8 p.m. on St. Patrick’s Day, with live music from The Ryan Brothers. The evening wraps up at midnight, after a light lunch is served. Though the municipality sponsors the dance and the refreshments, Murphy said that Margie Ferguson, a

long-time volunteer from Pakenham, and her team should be given credit for the late lunch served at the St. Patrick’s Day Dance each year. Tickets for the event can be purchased at the Stewart Community Centre, the Almonte Old Town Hall or Nicholson’s Sundries.

“We hope we get a lot of people out to celebrate,� Murphy said. “It’s going to be a great time, like it is every year.� Glasgow United Church in McNabBraeside, is hosting an Irish stew supper frin 4 to 6:30 p.m. on St. Patrick’s day. A freewill donation is welcome at the door. Later in the week (Friday, March 20) The Grace-St. Andrew’s United Church Women are holding a friendship Irish beef stew supper from 5 to 6 p.m. at the Christian Education Centre in Arnprior. There will be entertainment throughout the evening. See IRISH STEW Page 33

An alternative folk band from New York, the Grand Slambovians, will bring their ‘A Box Of EveryThing Tour to Burnstown Saturday, March 21. The Slambovian Circus of Dreams will be performing at the Neat Cafe at 8 p.m. Formed in Sleepy Hollow, New York, the Slambovians are pioneers of the alt-folk/americana genre and paved the way for do-it-yourself before it was fashionable, turning down major label deals all along the way. The New York Times says of the Slambovians: “Their songs are imbued with mystical stirrings and idealism ... they take the stage by storm.â€? Their fiercely independent selves present not only quirky Americana and Zenlike anthems, but a universe entirely of their own making. Likened to an array of artists including the Waterboys, Jethro Tull, The Decemberists, and a quirkier Tom Petty or Buffalo Tom, their “dusty Americana balladsâ€? evoke Dylan, Cracker and the Wallflowers. U.K.’s Maverick Magazine calls them “mightily impressive and hugely original ‌ the cool end of Americanaâ€? and the “Hudson River Valley’s best kept secret.â€? The Slambovians are Joziah Longo (songwriter/vocals/guitar/harmonica), Sharkey McEwen (guitar/mandolin, multi-instrumentalist), Tink Lloyd (accordion/cello/ukelele/theremin, melodica) and Eric Puente (drums/ percussion). Tickets cost $30. More information is available by calling 613-433-3205 or visiting www.neatfood.com.

Enjoy the taste of Ireland at Celtic lunch Irish stew popular providing that the occupants of the four nearest farms to a domestic hive were entitled to a share of the honey each year, and a swarm of bees every fourth year. The other main use for honey and grain was in the manufacture of alcohol, which also held a high place in the kitchen used in a wide variety of ways in both the homes of the rich and the poor. Salt was highly prized as a means of preserving meats, as brine, for seasoning and for basting. The Irish preferred salt from England which was considered the best. Mined salt was considered better than that extracted from seawater. Ulster was known to have large natural salt deposits. At dinner, each guest was served either with a small dish of salt or a lump of it, which they ground beneath their cups. Salt was much more expensive in the past than it is at present, and as one of the few available preservatives, was heavily used. Sacks of salt were often given as tribute. Get your pallets warmed up and salivating ready to enjoy the delicious foods the society has lined up for its traditional Irish luncheon at St. Paul’s. Stay tuned for a rundown of the traditional Irish dishes you will get to eat by staying tuned to this newspaper next week.

Bread was made with yeast, and the amounts of bread due each person were specified in Irish law. Dairy products were an important part of the diet, though they were not considered to be as nutritious as meats. The milk was made into curds, cheeses, and drunk by itself. New milk was considered to be the best drink, but it was also drunk sour, skimmed, and references are made to thick milk as a good drink. Honey was often mixed with milk. Whey was a drink of the poor, but buttermilk was drunk by everyone. Cow’s milk was the most common, but sheep and goats were also milked. The ideal food of the Irish was meat, and the ideal meat was beef served with gallons of ale. They enjoyed beef, mutton, goat, pork, fish of various kinds, game birds, and eggs. Chickens were rare and expensive. The only available sweetener was honey, and the Irish made extensive use of it as a dipping sauce for meats, for basting, and in breads and stirabout. Honey was important enough in ancient Ireland to have an entire law tract devoted to the subject. Ancient writers remarked on the prevalence of beehives in Ireland as compared to other lands. The laws recognized the importance of honey as well as the nature of bees by

St Paul’s Anglican Church in Renfrew is hard at work on the latest in a series of Valley events promoting Celtic heritage. This time the McNab Celtic Heritage group will be hosting an Irish luncheon Sunday, March 22 at 12:30 p.m. at the church. Organizers have chosen to not do the traditional Irish stew. Instead they will tempt your pallet with dishes from all over Ireland based on the foods the poorer class of people would eat. Don’t let the idea that these dishes are not good because they are for the poorer classes of people. These people used a varity of natural growing herbs and salts from natural deposits with which to season food. They excelled at making what they had taste delicious to the point that some of the less choice foods graduated to the tables of the rich. Most of Ireland at the time was heavily forested, with areas of natural grassland that remained green year round, and boglands predominated towards the centre of the island. This made farming with the methods of the time difficult. Sustenance of the poor of the time was porridge, or stirabout, with dairy products. Bread was also eaten, but the type was determined by class. Bread was made of meal or flour; wheat bread was considered the best, barley bread the worst.

GRAHAM, Donald “Don” (Retired – Ontario Hydro)

FRASER, DOROTHY “DOLLY” (NEE BREWER) Our family has lost our much loved matriarch. On March 3, 2015 Dorothy (Dolly) Fraser died at the age of 89 in the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital. Arnold is bereft at the loss of his wife of more than sixty years. Dolly was the ever proud mother of Michael Fraser, Kimberly Mann (Richard Power-Fardy) and Julie Nicholson (Colin) and even more proud grandmother of Jordan Mann (Cathia Landry), Patrick Nicholson (Becky Reid) and Marcus Nicholson. Dolly especially adored her great grandson, Max Nicholson. Although Dolly suffered from poor health for much of her life, she was always engaged in her children’s and grandchildren’s lives, always with an eager ear and always supportive. Indeed she was devoted to them and she expressed her love through her keen interest, her compassion and her generosity. Dolly shared her love of plants and nature, enjoying every minute at the log home at Golden Lake. We all share years of fond memories of camping and eventually cottaging there. Dolly loved animals and our family members always included beloved cats and dogs. Dolly helped to instill an appreciation of these things in her children. We are fortunate to have many of Dolly’s beautiful quilts, her handmade braided rugs, her sewing and knitting and many other examples of her art and her great skill. These items were made for her family with love and will be cherished always. Dolly’s family would like to thank Dr. Cathy Greenough and the wonderful staff at the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital. We couldn’t have made it through this tough time without their warmth, compassion, good humour and excellent skills. A celebration of Dolly’s life was held at the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior, on Friday morning, March 6, 2015 at 11 o’clock. A reception followed. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Arnprior District and Memorial Hospital “Partners in Caring” Foundation, the Lung Association or the Arnprior & District Humane Society would be much appreciated.

Peacefully at the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital on Monday morning, February 23rd, 2015; Donald Edward “Don” Graham of Arnprior passed away following a lengthy illness. He was 85. Only child of the late Gordon Graham and the late Eva Lucas. Beloved husband and best friend of Heather (nee Ramage). Dearly loved father of Jeff (Shelly) of Balderson; Shelley of Renfrew; Greg (Shauna O’Neil) of Eganville and Kerry (Erin Neller) of Barrie. Cherished and proud “Poppa” of 14 grandchildren: Katie (Jay), Zach (Kate), Kelsie (Dane), late Jesse, Jarred, Lauren, Joe, Jenika, Nick (Hailey), Chris (Nicole), Corey, Emma, Aidan and Reegan and 6 great-grandchildren: Emma, Allister, Elise, Avery, Brynlee and Grace. The Graham family received friends during visitation at the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior on Tuesday February 24th from 3 to 5 and 7 to 9 p.m. and again on Wednesday morning, February 25th from 10:30 until 11:45 a.m. A Funeral Service was conducted in the Pilon Family Chapel on Wednesday at 12 o’clock noon. Rev. David Hooper of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church officiated. Cremation followed. In memory of Don, a donation to CHEO, Jumpstart or your favorite charity would be greatly appreciated.

RECOMMENDATIONS

GET TRAINING

Teach children safety fundamentals. This includes clearly identifying where farm machinery and vehicles are operated, and where they may not play. Children need to develop a healthy respect for the potential dangers of being near a moving machine or vehicle, and learn how to stay safe.

The Canada Safety Council offers the following safety training courses that may be of interest to farm operators and employees.

If you are the owner/operator of a farm, clearly communicate to your staff that risk-taking involving machinery or vehicles is not allowed or tolerated. Your employees should understand that you expect them to always operate in a safe manner. This includes no speeding and no impaired or distracted driving. Make sure operators are competent, confident and capable when it comes to using machinery. If additional training or instruction is necessary, make safety the priority. Take the time to read manuals, ask questions and consult industry experts who can give you answers.

The growing problem of pet obesity Everyone knows it can be difficult, if not impossible, to lose weight. At some point, we’ve all tried fad diets or starvation diets, and we usually end up frustrated and no lighter than when we started. The same can be true for pets. Weight loss can be difficult. Just as with humans, obesity in pets can lead to heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, reduced life span (3-5 years) and other health complications. Obesity is defined as 30 per cent above normal weight. Carrying even an extra five per cent of body weight will cause increased strain on muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints. Arthritis forms in the joints causing pain, which decreases mobility, which decreases calories burned, which leads to more weight gain. Blood sugar is harder to regulate with increased weight and many pets become diabetic due to obesity, just like people. Most pets require insulin injections once or twice daily once they become diabetic. No one wants to have to deal with that. For example, a study by the International Journal of Applied Veterinary Medicine shows that if you feed a small dog one ounce of cheese, it’s the same as you eating one and a half

Pet Talk

IAN STUPP hamburgers or one and a half chocolate bars. For a cat, that same ounce of cheese equals three and a half hamburgers for you. Think of it this way, if Fido gained eight pounds that would be equal to you gaining 30 pounds. According to the APOP (Association for Pet Obesity Prevention) found that a 90-pound Labrador Retriever is comparable to a 186-pound, 5’4� female and a 15-pound cat is comparable to a 25-pound, 5’9’ male. The problem is simple: excessive caloric intake, too many treats and an inactive lifestyle all contribute to pet obesity.

Besides reducing food intake, the APOP recommends 30 to 60 minutes of active play, or two to three miles of walking for larger breeds of dogs such as Labradors or German Shepherds. Smaller breeds should have 15 to 30 minutes of play. Cats can benefit from short five- to 15-minutes bursts of activity like chasing toys. The other problem is merchandising. Manufacturers of pet food rate the cups per pound/per feeding high. Simply put, the more you feed your pet the faster you will go through a bag, the more you will purchase pet food and the more the manufacturer will profit. For feeding instructions (based on breed, size, and activity level), speak to your veterinarian. Rule of thumb, if you cannot feel your pet’s ribs and they do not have a natural waistline then they are perhaps overweight. As with human weight loss, it would be best to consult with your veterinarian before making any changes to ones diet or exercise routine.

The sixth annual Family Fun Skate and Food Drive, hosted by White Lake Marina, generated a lot of non-perishables for the Arnprior District Food Bank on Feb. 22. Marina owner Pete Bettencourt was pleased with the turnout, though the event didn’t come off without a hitch. Past years saw a boat placed on the ice at Nick Smith Centre for putting donations in. This year, because of the ultracold this winter, his boat got stuck in the ice. At least it didn’t affect the generosity of skaters. Derek Dunn/ Metroland

Toastmasters celebrate project completions Members of the Valley Vintage Advanced Toastmasters Club recently received awards for completing educational projects. Lenore Whelan, Fran Watson, Lynne Zander and Francine Fortin were presented with district pins by the Area Governor Phil Godon. Zander was also presented with a Triple Crown pin at the recent Toastmasters Leadership training on Feb. 21. This was for completing at least three educational projects within the past year. Watson has also completed three educational projects and will be receiving her pin at the Division B contest in March. At club meetings members have a chance to receive special meeting awards such as Best Evaluator, Best Table Topics Speaker and Sparky, and once a month a member is recognized for their participation with the Shooting Star award. Club speech contests were held during February and Watson qualified to represent Valley Vintage at the Area 10 Contest in both International and Table Topics on March 3. Winners from the area contest proceed to the Division B Contest in Ottawa on March 21. Valley Vintage Advanced Toastmasters meet at Quail Creek in Renfrew. Meetings are generally held the first and third Friday of the month and begin at 7 p.m. If you are interested in attending, call 613-649-2950 for more information.

Arnprior District High School Grade 10 student Braydon Massoud was runner-up at the Renfrew County High School Chess Championship at RCI March 4. The tournament format was the Swiss System where each competitor played three matches and total score decided the winner (as opposed to an elimination tournament). Games were 44 minutes (22 for each competitor - automatic loss to player who ran out of time before game ended). Grade 12 RCI student Het Shah, who won the tournament, squared off with Massoud in the final match for the crown.

Legion marches on, as St. Paddy’s Day party nears Change of plans this year. The hall will not be open. The licensed lounge is decorated for the occasion and will be the hot spot for the day. Entertainment starts at noon and goes until 4 p.m. with the very popular ʻLittle Circleʼ musicians, and from 4 to 9 p.m. ʻTim Hermitteʼ will take over entertainment for your enjoyment. The kitchen will be open and serving hot Irish stew and smoked meat sandwiches. Be sure to come join in the fun and singing and dancing to celebrate St Patrickʼs Day all day long.

Janet Tobio Arnprior Legion

March has not brought spring ... just yet anyway, but we did get a time change. That was not accepted terribly well by a lot of people either. Itʼs been suggested it should happen on a holiday where no one has to get up and lose that hourʼs sleep. Know any of those days folks? Really, itʼs going to get better, warmer and dryer … some time! In the meantime, this Saturday, March 14 is St. Paddyʼs Day at the Legion.

The Legion Magazine has some very interesting articles and information again. Lots of info and a guide on veterans benefits, qualifications required and how to apply. A discussion on the Vimy Ridge victory, the Russia situation, battle honours and an introduction to the new Veterans Affairs Minister Erin OʼToole, who is the first ex-serviceman to serve as minister, and is assisted by Deputy Minister Walter Natynczyk, a retired general. Hope to see our new members out this week. Please introduce

Knights win, Knights win: Knot The Knights of Columbus continued their selfinduced pain by losing by 25 games at the fourth competition with the Arnprior Legion Feb. 27. The Legion is now ahead by 98 games. Winners of the night representing the Legion with a perfect 9-0 were Wendy McQuaig and Mary Campbell, followed by Arlie Smith and Jo Camelon with a 8-1. The Knight big guys, John Wagner and Laurence Mask, took one on the chin by being skunked. You might remember them from the first challenge with a 9-0 start. Legionnaires Cowboy Bob and Susan Adkins are trying hard to catch rivals (Doreen Nichols\Shirley Valiquette) by capturing their third skunk. The next challenge is this Friday, March 13 at the Legion. Registration begins at 6:30 p.m. and competition starts at 7 pm. Everybody is welcome.

yourself or tell the bartender youʼre ʻnew in townʼ and sheʼll let us know so we can get acquainted and introduce you to others. We want to make sure your experiences with our Legion are good ones. Thereʼs some great people there. Let us know if we can make you feel at home in some way. Donʼt be shy to ask to join a table, donʼt sit alone. There also a big party on Friday night with the Jammers. They always throw a good bash, with lots of fun, dancing and great music.

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

special that I wasnʼt told to put my galoshes on the papers covering the mat at the door. Heaven forbid that I should track snow across the kitchen floor! The papers would be sopping wet by the end of the day, but they would serve to keep the door mats cleaner a little longer during the winter. I could see the parcel from where I struggled out of my winter pants, jacket, toque, mitts and galoshes ... it was a parcel wrapped in brown paper. That meant it had to have come from the mailman. Never in my life had I ever had a parcel come by mail! My brothers and sister got to the table first, but Mother told them they werenʼt to lay a finger on it. “Itʼs for Mary.” It was soft and about a foot square, and it looked like there were enough postage stamps on it to have been mailed from some foreign country. I asked my sister Audrey to read the return address written neatly in one corner. “Itʼs from Aunt Freda in Chicago,” she said. My fatherʼs sister, also, of course, a sister to Aunt Lizzie from Regina. Aunt Lizzie of the hand-me-down box. But Aunt Freda had no children, or husband, so never once did we ever get anything from her that wasnʼt brand new. I was so excited I had to ask Audrey to cut the string that held the parcel together. Well! What came out of that parcel was something I had never seen before in my entire life! It was a square piece of fur with a long cord attached to it at two corners. Mother, who was just about excited as I was, said, “Heavenʼs to Betsy ... itʼs a fur muff. How lovely! Imagine a fur muff.”

I had no idea what a fur muff was, or what I would do with it. Emerson, never short on ideas, said he saw one once in Scottʼs Hardware, and it was to lure rabbits. “Ridiculous, Emerson,” Audrey said. “Itʼs to keep your hands warm. See, this is how it works.” Audrey placed the silk cord around my neck, and the fur square hit me just over my belly button. “Now tuck your hands in it” she said. Inside the muff was smooth satin, and it was like someone had put a hot water bottle inside …. within minutes my hands were as warm as toast. “What will they think of next?” I repeated a phrase Father often said after reading the Ottawa Farm Journal. In my mind I could see myself sauntering into the Northcote School with the muff. Mother soon put the kibosh on that idea ... much too grand to wear to school ... and weʼd have to give it serious thought before wearing to the Lutheran Church on Sundays too. “Maybe into Renfrew ... weʼll have to see.” Emerson came over to get a good look at this newfangled fur piece. “Looks like rat fur to me ... yup, Iʼd put my money on it once being on the back of a rat.” Well, thatʼs all I needed to know ... I hated rats with a passion. But Mother told him not to be silly ... it was probably mink or at the very least muskrat. I was fast losing interest in the muff. That didnʼt excuse me from printing a letter to Aunt Freda to thank her for the lovely gift. I wanted to tell her I doubted I would ever be able to wear it, but Audrey, who was helping me with the spelling, said that would be very bad manners. And so my letter was full of gratitude for “your kind and considerate gift.” Well, leave it to Emerson to come up with another use for the muff. He said I should use it as a foot warmer in bed at night. And that very night I took it upstairs and tucked it under the flannelette sheet before I crawled into bed.

For Mother to be standing at the kitchen door waiting for us to come from school wasnʼt in itself that unusual. What was unusual was her grabbing me by the arm and hustling me inside. “Hurry Mary, get your clothes off, and put your galoshes on the papers ... thereʼs a surprise for you on the kitchen table.” Ginger cookies perhaps? A few slices of bologna from Briscoeʼs General Store? No, Mother was too excited. It had to be something special ... but not so

Father finds use for gift Continued from Page 46

I couldnʼt figure out how to put both feet in it at once, since it was only open at both ends, and my ankles simply didnʼt bend that way. I ended up with one foot in the muff at a time, which wasnʼt a very good idea either, as I had to keep taking one foot out and putting the other in. Since Audrey and I slept in the same bed, it didnʼt take her long to reach down, grab the fur muff and toss it in the general direction of the stairwell. In the morning, there it was, sitting on a step about half way down, silk cord and all. It was Father who finally found a

use for the fur muff. Instead of taking an old cushion off the creton couch at night to put on the opened oven door to rest his feet while reading the papers, he tucked the silk cord inside, and put the muff on the oven door. Added to my nightly prayers, I prayed that Aunt Freda would never decide to come to visit during the winter, and discover what use her gift was finally put to.

Maritime performer Kimberly Holmes enjoyed a surprise birthday party at fiddler Peter Dawson’s home the night before she was due on stage at the 13th annual Fiddlin’ Fiesta in Arnprior. She played before a packed house at the Saint John Chrysostom parish hall. Luckily Holmes had plenty of practice the night before; her 50th was something of a kitchen party.
