What’s up doc? Two new physicians recruited for Arnprior and area News – The new-look drive to attract new doctors to the Arnprior area is paying off. The Arnprior and District Family Health Team (ADFHT) and Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) announced last week that another doctor is relocating to this area. Family physician Dr. Jonathan Fitzsimon is the second physician to agree to join the local family health team since the new recruitment drive was launched. Earlier, it was announced that Dr. Mohammad Nejad will join the family health team in late spring or early summer. Dr. Fitzsimon will be relocating from the United Kingdom this spring and will open a family practice in Arnprior midsummer. The ADFHT will provide additional details about Dr. Fitzsimon’s start date and his registration process for new patients in the coming months.
In the interim, it encourages all individuals who are in need of a local family physician to register with Health Care Connect at 1-800-445-1822. “We have had a very successful physician recruitment drive and are very fortunate to have two new physicians coming to Arnprior,” said Dr. Aya Suzuki, physician lead of the Arnprior and District Family Health Team, in a news release last week. The ADFHT stresses that existing family physicians, the Town of Arnprior and Township of McNab-Braeside all played an important role in recruiting Dr. Fitzsimon and Dr. Nejad. “Both municipalities recognized the economic impact and benefits new physicians bring to our local economies and community at large,” says the news release announcing the recruitment success.

Leslie was one of 54 para-athletes on the Canadian team who entered Sochi’s Fisht Stadium behind flag bearer Sonja Gaudet of the wheelchair curling team at the Paralympic’s opening ceremony last Friday. “It was incredible.

Clara’s Big Ride for Bell Let’s Talk to begin Friday, end in Arnprior, Ottawa “On Canada Day, all roads lead to Parliament Hill as Canadians across the country gather together to celebrate,” said Glover. “Clara Hughes will have traveled many Canadian roads during her 110-day ride in support of mental health. On July 1, we will not only celebrate the end of Clara’s Big Ride, but also the lasting impact her journey will have on mental health for all Canadians.” The kick-off event in Toronto on March 14 and the Canada Day celebrations in Ottawa are just two of the more than 200 events that are already planned in communities across the country by schools, youth organizations and community groups. Every Canadian can participate in Clara’s Big Ride by attending an event or by sharing the journey online. For more information about joining the conversation on social media using #ClarasBigRide, attending a community event, supporting local mental health organizations or helping raise funds, visit Bell.ca/ClarasBigRide. “Clara’s Big Ride will highlight the incredible work that is being done by mental health organizations at the grassroots level in every part of Canada,” said Mary Deacon, chair of Bell Let’s Talk. “Together we are making significant progress in the fight to break the stigma of mental illness. We encourage Canadians to keep the momentum going by joining Clara in the conversation.” Canadians can also show their support by wearing the limited-edition official jersey of Clara’s Big Ride for Bell Let’s Talk. The cycling jersey and technical t-shirt can be purchased online at Bell.ca/ClarasBigRide. Fifteen dollars from the sale of each item will be donated to Kids Help Phone.

News – The ride of mental health that will see Canadian Olympian Clara Hughes come to Arnprior June 30 will be officially launched this Friday, March 14. Clara’s Big Ride for Bell Let’s Talk will begin Friday in Toronto. Hughes will set out on her epic journey around Canada in support of mental health from Maple Leaf Square, ultimately riding 12,000 kilometres through every province and territory before concluding her ride on Canada Day on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. Hughes will be making a stop in Arnprior June 30 before making her way to Parliament Hill the next morning, Canada Day. It is anticipated she will ride in Arnprior’s traditional Canada Day bicycle ride to Robert Simpson Park before heading to Ottawa. “After months of preparation and anticipation, I can’t wait to get on my bike and meet Canadians everywhere to talk about mental health,” said Hughes in a news release last week. “Together, we can achieve a stigma-free Canada,” she added. “Mental illness is part of everyone’s life in some way, and talking openly about it tells those who struggle that they shouldn’t fear seeking help. Beating the stigma is the biggest step we can take in moving Canada’s mental health forward. So I’m eager to share my mental health story with you, and hope to hear yours.” Over 110 days, Clara’s Big Ride for Bell Let’s Talk will visit 95 communities in all territories and provinces, concluding in Ottawa on July 1 as part of the Canada Day celebrations on Parliament Hill. She will be welcomed by Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages Minister Shelly Glover.

David Ridgen’s Cicada gets provincial funding support Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com
News - Arnprior filmmaker David Ridgen has received some good news. The Ontario Media Development Corporation (OMDC) announced Feb. 27 it will be contributing to the development of his film Cicada, a psychological thriller. The funding helps bring the reality of production a giant step closer to happening before the end of 2014, said Ridgen. Cicada is billed as new feature psychological drama about Tig Robinson’s quest for truth after mysterious flashbacks from her past set her on a difficult journey of self-discovery. Ridgen was born in Stratford and moved to Arnprior when his father joined Jack Mulvi in starting the company Hypernetics. Now that Ridgen is

dia creation. Filming for Cicada is set to begin in the Ottawa Valley as soon as production funding is secured. “Development funding from an organization like the OMDC, while not a huge amount of money, is a real victory because it shows industry support for Cicada and builds a solid
foundation for any significant funding to come,� said Ridgen. “In the business there’s several funding stages, and all of them begin with development. “Next is production, the stage where the bulk of money comes in, and following that top-up or post production funding if required. Each stage requires proper timing as there are only a few, incredibly competitive calls for funding each year and each has their own set of rules and requirements to follow.� Ridgen wants Cicada to be done properly. “Bottom line is, I want Cicada to be properly funded and any time it takes to get there will be well worth it. I’m hopeful I can start filming officially in the fall of 2014 and finish up in the spring of 2015 if all goes to plan.� Ridgen has another exciting development to announce. “Daniel Iron has agreed to be the executive producer of Cicada.

News - The province’s near 20year “fixation” with cuts to Ontario hospitals is resulting in “human tragedies on a grand scale,” with many patients, foremost the rural elderly, pushed out hospitals while acutely ill with little access to care at home, says a report released in Renfrew County. The report, Pushed Out of Hospital, Abandoned at Home: After Twenty Years of Budget Cuts, Ontario’s Health System is Failing Patients found it is the elderly and those in smaller communities who are being hurt most by hospital downsizing. Making the situation worse is the under-resourcing of care at home under an ‘outpatient’ community care model, which the report maintains, is failing miserably. The past 20 years in Ontario has featured the closure of 19,000 hospital beds and decreased access to in hospital restorative convalescent care, says the report. Pushed Out of Hospital, Abandoned at Home chronicles the personal stories of hundreds of patients on 1-800 patient hotline set up for over a year by the Ontario Association of Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists (OSLA) and the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions (OCHU), the hospital division of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE). “Many of the patient experiences are heart-breaking,” says OCHU president Michael Hurley, speaking from Pembroke where the report was released. “It is the frail, ill, mostly elderly patients who have borne the brunt of the cuts to the hospital system. They have been pushed out of hospital while acutely ill and have been abandoned at home. Some have died as a result. “Elderly spouses and
adult children have exhausted themselves trying to provide basic care. This report exposes the discrimination against the elderly in Ontario’s health care system.” The majority of hotline calls came from Ontarians whose loved ones were prematurely discharged from hospital, including a mother desperate for care at her local hospital for her extremely ill son diagnosed with lymphoma and a family coping with the aftermath of their grandmother’s deteriorating health following her repeatedly being discharged from hospital while acutely ill. The personal stories are validated by the health ministry’s own data showing that 1 in 6 Ontario patients are readmitted to hospital within 30 days of being discharged. There are over 10,000 and 35,000, mostly frail and elderly people, on wait-lists for home care and a bed in a nursing home, respectively. National data shows that Ontario patients receive 6.1 hours less nursing care than patients in other provinces. “With the fewest hospital beds to population of any province, Ontario cannot continue to cut beds. These cuts restrict access and the rationing that follows impacts the elderly foremost,” said Hurley. A key finding of the report is that since moving to this outpatient community care model, most therapy services, including speech language pathology services, have seen decreases in referral rates through Ontario’s Community Care Access Centres (CCACs), which leads to individuals not receiving the timely care they need. In 2012-2013, speech language pathology services amounted to just .7 per cent of all home care visits through CCACs. Due to hospital
funding cuts, waiting periods to access some, in-hospital services, range from two to 10 months. Pushed Out of Hospital, Abandoned at Home encourages solutions that encourage the provincial government to make alternative policy choices. These include: • chronic and alternative level of care beds must be reopened to give the frail and elderly the in-hospital restorative, convalescent care and therapies they require; • funds must be reinvested in hospitals so that critical speech-language pathology services can be provided and delivered in a timely fashion; • no rationing of care and therapies. Give those who need home care, therapies and services the care hours they need, without being charged user fees. DIALYSIS EXPANSION
The Ministry of Health and LongTerm Care has granted final approval for capital funding of $9,627,900 towards the cost of Renfrew Victoria Hospital’s major dialysis expansion. The expansion plans include a 23,000-square-foot addition behind the emergency department, which will include a hemodialysis treatment area of 6,000 square feet — doubling the current space. Patients, staff and physicians will benefit from enhanced space and privacy, window views from every bed during their four-hour treatments, and close proximity to a new centralized nursing station for all dialysis stations. In addition to the ability to provide 5,616 more treatments per year, the expansion will consolidate all of the chronic kidney disease services in a single area of the RVH campus.
Doctor recruitment funds received from municipalities Continued from front
“The funding provided by both municipalities as well as Arnprior Regional Health supports expenses related to a physician recruiter, physicians’ relocation and the recent locum physician experience in Arnpri-
or,” the family health team explains. The ADFHT says the addition of the two family physicians will ensure ARH continues to provide support across the continuum of care including hospital services, community based services, and long term care.
“This is fantastic news but we have to caution that we are not done yet,” said Jay Johnston, chair of the ARH board of directors. “The physician recruitment plan has identified the need for four new family physicians over the next five years.”

News - Valley resident Angela Burgess took up the ďŹ ght against the provincial government over components of the Clean Water Act more than a decade ago. And now she’s back again, to express her frustrations over Hydro One bills. Thousands of Ontario residents, especially those in rural areas, are complaining about the high amounts of the bills, much higher than normal, from the Ontario crown corporation. Hydro One admits problems with its new billing system (see the letter from its president on Page 11). Burgess, who owns Renfrew KOA Campground in Horton, says her Hydro One bills have been wildly out of whack for several months. “People are telling me their bills are high, with bills of $300, $400, $500, $600 some months, and in some instances higher than their monthly mortgage payments,â€? says Burgess. So she’s among organizers across the province who are preparing to spearhead demonstrations on Friday, April 4. Demonstration sites in this area will include Renfrew, Barry’s Bay and Pembroke, says Burgess. She says her own business and home bills are about twice what they used to be, following the installation of the smart meters to determine the billing amounts. Burgess says the Hydro One bill for her own one-storey mobile home is totally unreasonable, despite proof on her bill that she’s using hydro more during off-peak hours. Evidence that calculations of hydro bills are inaccurate and grossly unfair, she says, comes from her delivery charge of $174.84 for a January bill of $438.66. She also notes that the recent bill includes a debt retirement charge of $15.91, even though the hydro debt was paid off about two years ago. “I know people are loathe to complain about even something that affects them so deeply,â€? said Burgess. “But too many people are living in
the dark because they can’t afford their Hydro One bills.� Burgess says she’d like to hear from people, especially those most affected in the rural municipalities, to prepare for the April 4 demonstration. She says the local and peaceful protest will be scheduled at a time and location to be determined. To learn more about the upcoming protests, Burgess suggests people visit the Facebook page of hydrooneenoughisenough. Another area resident voicing his displeasure is Basil Pessin, who lives on Fourth Chute just outside Douglas. In a letter that he sent to Toronto and Ottawa journalists last month, he calls this a “scandal in the making of proportions never before seen in Ontario.� He complains in the letter of Ontario residents receiving monthly bills of $800. Pessin says he’s been told the problem is the new smart meters that aren’t reading nearly as smartly as they should be. “Meanwhile,� writes Pessin, “some people are paying $800 bills and have no idea where the money will come from.�

He notes that the Ontario Energy Board is supposed to regulate Hydro One, but is doing “a very poor job of it.â€? Meanwhile, says Pessin, “Why hasn’t Hydro One done anything about it for almost a year? What they have done is minimal and people are still paying $800 and have no idea why because Hydro One is keeping very quiet about the true causes.â€? In closing his letter, he says, “What is happening now is deďŹ nitely criminal, and (is) why I believe Hydro (One) is slow to do anything about it. “There are or should be people who burn for this because of the horror they are causing in the lives of many people.

His letter appeals to the corporation to improve its customer service and gives a number of suggestions on how that can be done: • making contact information available for Hydro One employees; • implementing a way to check electricity use online, like how cell phone customers can track their bills; • providing usage notiďŹ cations to customers with higher-than-usual use; • lowering the threshold for investigating billing issues with time-of-use meters; • and the end of estimated billing.

EDITORIAL
Reddy, set, go: we are women, hear us roar Opinion - Last Saturday was International Women’s Day, a chance to focus on the role of women in our society. The theme for the March 8 celebration was Equality for Women is Progress for All. Not just a privileged few, but all. In a message to mark the occasion, Ontario’s Minister Responsible for Women’s Issues, Teresa Pirruza notes advances have been made towards full equality around the world and in Ontario, but much work remains to be done. “As Minister Responsible for Women’s Issues, I am proud that for 30 years the directorate has played an important role in effecting and influencing change for women here in Ontario,� she said. “We have worked to champion the achievements and leadership of
women across the province.� However, “while we can acknowledge with certainty the progress that has been made in having a female premier, barriers remain that prevent more women from becoming leaders. “We must work together to tear those barriers down,� Pirruza said. “Three decades after the creation of the Ontario Women’s Directorate, there is visible progress and we will continue to work towards full equality for women.� Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant also took the opportunity to address the issue of equality for women from the federal perspective. Her news release also cited statistics regarding the advancement of women. Gallant described International
Women’s Day as a chance to celebrate the economic and social contributions “by female owners of small and medium-sized enterprises in our city and towns.� The federal theme of the week was Strong Women. Strong Canada. Canadian Women – Creating Jobs One Business at a Time. Gallant said the theme highlights the important role played by women entrepreneurs in the Canadian economy. She also noted that 15.6 per cent of small and medium-sized businesses in Canada are majority-owned by women, employing over 1.5 million Canadians, and contributing an estimated $148 billion to the Canadian economy annually. Arnprior and area is blessed with many dedicated businesswomen serving and strengthening our com-
munity through their contributions to the economy. What would the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce be without the contributions of Zillah Briscoe and Cheryl Sparling and the BIA would have disappeared long ago without the efforts of Chantelle Beaulieu. It’s more and more common to see women take leadership roles in business and politics. After years and years of the old boys club dominating politics in Renfrew County, many women have come forward to provide wise guidance and invigorating new ideas on all levels of government. But Women’s Day must look beyond business and political achievement and recognize all women for the important role they play as nurses, educators, caregivers and more. This area is a better place to live
because of the large number of female community activists. Women such as Elta Watt, Louise Mulvihill, Renee Stewart, Lori Van Wyk, Hyacinth Chatterton, Linda Fraser, Norma Moore, Irene Robillard, Eve Yantha, Jane Dowd, Janet Carlile ‌ the list goes on and on. As well, women must be applauded for the vital role they play in raising kind, compassionate and hardworking children who will be able to tackle the challenges of the future with wisdom, empathy and a desire to see the best in others, regardless of gender or background. The next generation will need to master the critical art of co-operation, not lean on divisiveness and narrow nastiness to bully its way to power. That is how we will build a better world. With women leading the way.

CELA help indicates importance of quarry issues To the Editor: It has been nearly eight years since we heard rumours that the Miller Braeside Quarry planned to expand and industrialize. Those rumours became fact as you have read over the years. Despite a strong community opposition, backed up by the judgments of independent experts, the McNab-Braeside council voted to zone enough land for this multinational company to mine aggregate in Braeside for hundreds of years. Councillor Brad McIlquahm crafted a zoning by-law which gave Miller the right to use neighbours’ property as a buffer zone for their Class III heavy industry. That meant residents still owned the land, and paid taxes on it but couldn’t build on it, cut a tree, plant a garden. Neighbours have grave concerns about blasting impacts from the expanded quarry since blasting accidents have happened here in the past. So FACT-MB Inc., John Kerr and David Simek have appealed that decision of the Township of McNab-Braeside to the Ontario Municipal Board. People in McNab-Braeside have appealed on other occasions over property rights or zoning concerns, but this is different. This time residents are actually fighting the huge resources of Miller Group, a multinational company. Into this David-and-Goliath story has stepped CELA, the Canadian Environmental Law Association, whose mandate is to help the ordinary person in a worthy environmental cause. Ramani Nadarajah and Richard Lindgren will act as legal counsel for FACT-MB, representing them at the Ontario Municipal Board

Hearing in March 2015. CELA works to bring justice to those who could not otherwise afford it, by providing pro bono legal services. The Braeside group must cover all other costs, such as travel expenses, accommodation, documentation, etc. but not legal fees. What is remarkable is that there are so many areas in this province of Ontario with pressing environmental issues and only four CELA lawyers. And two of them will be working for the people of the Braeside Ridge! It is clear that the Braeside quarry expansion must be considered a very serious concern to rise to the top of the list of all the other deserving environmental legal cases in Ontario. Over the past years, FACT-MB has raised funds to hire well-qualified, independent scientists to evaluate the Miller studies and to look at the residents’ concerns realistically. Those experts have agreed that their legitimate concerns were well-founded. Here are some of the issues: residential property rights, the right to protect children from noxious emissions in the air, the right to have clean, safe water to drink and the right to save a globally rare habitat for future generations. We are all very thankful that there are organizations like CELA who care about the environment and the ordinary people whose lives and health are affected by pollution, but are unable to fight it themselves without legal representation.

OPINION
Connected to your community
Hydro One working to fix its many billing problems To the Editor: I am writing as a result of recent news coverage concerning Hydro One, in particular, issues with our customer billing system and the impact it is having on some of our customers. First and foremost, I would like to apologize to our customers who are experiencing billing and customer service issues. As the leader of Hydro One, I am directly accountable for customer service and I promise you that I will focus our resources on not only fixing these problems but on changing our customer service culture. This past May, Hydro One transitioned to a new billing system. Our
old system was outdated, not working well and it was determined that a change was needed. While the new system did correct some existing issues, the unanticipated result was that some customers experienced prolonged estimated bills, delayed bills, multiple bills or no bills at all. Customers calling the call centre have also experienced a lower level of service as agents have struggled with the new system. Escalated complaints are sometimes taking months to resolve. Clearly, this is not the level of service people deserve from Ontario’s electricity delivery company and it is not the level of service we aim to de-
liver. I have focused every available resource on resolving these issues. A dedicated team is already working to fix the problems as quickly as possible. The last thing I want is for our customers to worry. They deserve bills that are clear, timely and accurate. So I want your readers – our customers – to know that they will only pay for the electricity they use. If they receive a catch-up bill because they have been billed on estimates or have not received a bill, we will work with them to arrange a reasonable payment plan. If we have made a mistake on a bill, we will not charge interest and we will not apply service charges or fees.
If we find that we have overbilled an account, we will notify our customers and offer them a refund cheque. We are improving training at our call centre to make sure our agents have the information they need to answer more of your questions on the first call. I also pledge to keep you informed on the company’s efforts to reform our customer service culture. We know our customers are counting on us and we owe it to them to make sure that we learn from this and that we do better. Carmine Marcello, president Hydro One
Those who served their country deserve recognition To the Editor: They are the nameless, the unknown! The unacknowledged! They are your friends, your neighbours, your relatives, yet most Canadians will never know them for what they have done and what they did; that most will never do. They are not to be feared, for they have stood up for you, been ready to defend you and protect you at all cost, to even give their lives if called upon to do so and they did so ‘voluntarily’, with quiet courage and conviction, they voluntarily dedicated a portion of their lives to serve and defend Canada the rights and freedoms that all Canadians enjoy.
I speak of Canada’s veterans, thousands who stand medal-less because we can’t find it within our hearts to create a new volunteer service medal to replace the one that was cancelled 67 years ago today. To recognize them, they would need our help, your help to overcome the unwillingness to help honour them for volunteering to serve. There is a dream, and because of them, we have the right to dream and to have our dreams answered. A dream of honouring and accepting our veterans into the reality of recognition for volunteerism. A dream for the creation of a new volunteer service medal that has affectionately been dubbed the Gov-
ernor General’s Volunteer Service erans for volunteerism, thank you for Medal, a dream that seems to elude your support. our persons of interest for their dediDave W. Palmer cation and willingness to volunteer to Former Arnprior Rotary Club serve in our country’s military. president For the many Canadian veterans Barrhaven who, since March 1, 1947, have never been acknowledged or formerly recognized for volunteerism, I believe it is time to right the wrong that happened in 1947, when Canada stopped issuing a ‘volunteer’ service medal. A petition calling for the creation of a volunteer medal has over 10,500 signatures in an online petition at www.gopetition.com/petitions/volunteer-service-medal-for-our-veterans/signatures.html Dr. Corrine Motluk Dr. Alan Franzmann In the dream of honouring all vet-

Law introduced to combat invasive species
MICHAEL RUNTZ
European Starlings, above, are excellent mimics of other birds. Northern Cardinals, left, are now in full song, telling us that spring is really coming.
Beware the songs of Spring; they can be deceiving Lifestyle - There are indications that winter is finally coming to an end, at least in terms of temperatures and snowmelt. But, as discussed last week, spring has indeed sprung for Common Ravens and Gray Jays, as those birds are already building nests. There are other signs that spring is just around the corner, but some of these are more audible than visual. Coyotes have been lighting up the night with their invigorating howls, for they are currently in the mood for love. And during the day male birds now sing rich melodies from the tops of trees and bushes. Right now about half a dozen species of birds are singing. We find some of
Michael Runtz Nature’s Way their songs, such as those of House and Purple finches, particularly melodious. Others, like the wavering notes of White-breasted Nuthatches, appeal only to the ears of their own species. But in all cases, it is the males that are singing as they attempt to at-
tract a mate. In most urban centres, the clear, whistled “whaaaat, whaaaat, cheeeeer, cheeeeer, cheeeeer” songs of Northern Cardinals can now be heard. It might seem strange how such a brilliantly coloured bird can be so hard to see when it sings. Perhaps that is because more times than not the singer is perched near the very top of the tallest tree around. The day I wrote this column I was in Toronto and heard a Killdeer call overhead. Occasionally by late March in years when spring comes early we can hear those distinctive birds in our area. But this year there is no way they will come back with this much snow on the ground.
In addition to the distinctive “Killdeer, killdeer” call, I heard the distress sounds that bird gives when its nest is approached. But that call is not given in flight, so I knew right away I was hearing an imposter. And the only bird capable of such deception is a European Starling. And sure enough, soon I was spotted one of those glossy black birds sitting high above me in a tree. Starlings sing complex songs that usually include odd rattle-like sounds and sliding whistles. Like good jazz artists, starlings seem to improvise as they sing, with their songs – which can last almost a minute and a half - changing unpredictably. In addition to a few stan-
dard melodies that all starlings sing, each bird has its own peculiar blend of whistled or warbled songs into which it injects the calls and songs of other birds that it has heard. So why do starlings sing such complex songs? Well, for a number of birds the more complex a song or the greater diversity of songs a male sings, the greater the chances he will be chosen by a female. And even when a mate has settled down with a mate, a male that is a superior singer will still entice other females to surrender themselves to him. No wonder Frank Sinatra was so popular with the ladies! The Nature Number is 613-387-2503; email is mruntz@start.ca.
News – As the province faces threats from invasive species such as Asian carp and the mountain pine beetle, the Ontario government has introduced a bill to support the prevention, early detection, rapid response and eradication of the species. “Invasive species cost the Ontario economy tens of millions of dollars each year,” said Minister of Natural Resources David Orazietti in a news release last week. “With the introduction of our proposed Invasive Species Act, Ontario is taking strong action to address the social, ecological and economic threats that invasive species pose.” Managing the impacts of just one invasive species – zebra mussels – is estimated to cost the province between $75 million and $91 million each year. These, and other invasive species, have impacts on the natural environment that are often irreversible. Asian carp have overwhelmed some river systems in the United States, where they now make up more than 95 per cent of the fish by weight in some areas. The European common reed, phragmites, is damaging Ontario beaches and wetlands. More than 180 non-native aquatic species have been found to occur in the Great Lakes basin, and some have been here for decades. Invasive species are found everywhere in the province, though the majority are in southern Ontario.

NEWS
Connected to your community
County shares endangered species concerns with province News – County of Renfrew Warden Peter Emon has presented the province with a copy of the ‘Improving the Endangered Species Act - Impacts on Renfrew County’ report. Speaking on the particular effects Renfrew County faces in terms of the Endangered Species Act (ESA), Emon said that “our diverse economic and development sectors are increasingly feeling the financial pressures and opera-
tional challenges as they struggle to meet the requirements of the Endangered Species Act.” He went on to say in a news release that the county will follow up on the report by taking “every opportunity to inform the province that the requirements of the ESA remain and are increasingly a significant and potentially debilitating issue for rural Ontario and most importantly for Renfrew County.”
Public urged to help invasive species spread Continued from Page 12
For more information, visit ontario.ca/invasivespecies. If the proposed legislation is passed, Ontario will be the only jurisdiction in Canada that has stand-alone invasive species legislation. The proposed Invasive Species Act, which was introduced in the provincial legislature on Feb. 26, would give Ontario the tools to ban activities such as possessing and transporting certain high risk invasive species, enable rapid response actions to address urgent threats, and would help ensure compliance through modernized inspection and enforcement measures. “Preventing invasive species from arriving and becoming established in Ontario is critical in our fight against this growing threat,” Orazietti said. “The proposed legislation
would help by providing the powers to intervene earlier, so small problems don’t become bigger and lead to significant environmental and economic costs for Ontarians.” Invasive species can enter Ontario and spread across the province in different ways. Sometimes they are spread unintentionally – for example, recreational boaters who unknowingly transfer zebra mussels that are attached to their boat, from one body of water to another. But many times people introduce invasive species into Ontario knowingly – whether it’s purchasing invasive plants for gardening, dumping aquarium plants or pets into local waterways, or moving contaminated firewood. Everyone can help prevent the spread of invasive species. Here are some tips:
• If you see an invasive species, report it to the Invading Species Hotline at 1-800-5637711 or info@invadingspecies.com. • When camping, don’t transport firewood. You could accidentally spread an invasive insect that is hitchhiking in the firewood. Buy it locally, and leave what you don’t use. • When fishing, don’t empty your bait bucket in or near water. You could inadvertently help an invasive plant, fish or insect find a new home. • When boating, wash your boat before you move to another lake or river to avoid taking an invasive species with you. • After hiking, clean mud, plants and seeds from your boots and other equipment. • If you’re travelling, don’t take plants, plant parts, seeds or fruit across borders.
NOTICE TO RESIDENTS
The results are job losses, increased costs, development delays and stoppages, and missed investment opportunities, he added. Last February in response to requests from Renfrew County residents and the business community to take action to mitigate the harm the ESA is doing to economic development, the county organized an information workshop for business and municipal representatives to discuss how to deal with the “cumbersome and costly” legislation. At the workshop, county businesses, along with industry and farming organizations, outlined the harm and the costs the ESA imposes on their livelihoods and future prospects. In the months that followed, the county developed its report that was delivered last week. The report stresses that Renfrew County wants the same outcome as the province, to protect species at risk and maintain biodiversity. The difference with the county report is that it centres on the idea that the ESA can be improved to the benefit of all Ontarians and that it isn’t an “either /or” situation; rural economic
development and protection for species at risk can co-exist. “It (ESA) has shortened the time available for harvesting to a point where it is becoming uneconomical to make the necessary investments in equipment and infrastructure that are required to maintain current employment levels,” said Kris Heideman, vice-president of Lavern Heideman & Sons Limited, a forest service company near Eganville. “Jobs have already been lost because of this legislation. More jobs will continue to be lost. All of this is occurring without proof we are providing any benefit to the intended species,” he added. “There needs to be an open and transparent socio-economic impact assessment on any legislation that threatens Ontario’s renewable timber supply.” In many situations, industry representatives have commented that the ESA duplicates the requirements of existing Acts, such as the Ontario Planning Act, and specific Forest Management Plans.

Pacific Safety Products ups revenues in the last quarter earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization translated into a small loss. A news releases reports “PSP exited the second quarter with a loss largely due to non-cash costs associated with the issuance of stock options in the quarter and high one-time legal expenses related to ongoing lease arbitration with the company’s landlord. At the half way point in our fiscal year, PSP remains profitable with strong working capital and we are continuing to execute our fiscal 2014 business plan.” Pacific Safety Products (PSP) is an established industry leader in the production and sale
More wireless choice coming: MP News – Improved Internet service should come to this area because of the auction of wireless spectrum space, says Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant. In a news release, Gallant hailed the recently released results of the 700 Megahertz (MHz) auction that resulted in 97 licences being awarded to eight Canadian companies nationwide as “excellent news” for people in the riding. “With a fourth major carrier purchasing some of the 700 MHz spectrum in Eastern Ontario, residents can look forward to increased and better service with better prices in the near future, “she said. The 700 MHz spectrum auctioned off was formerly used for analog television signals. Due to its lower frequency, it is able to carry signals at a higher quality over a longer range, making it ideal for providing wireless coverage to rural areas. “Analog TV signals were carried to all corners of the Upper Ottawa Valley by the 700 MHz spectrum. The auction of the 700 MHz range could finally bring wireless coverage, and access to the digital age, to all of RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke,” said Gallant.
With the auction establishing a fourth wireless player in every region of the country, with access to high quality spectrum, the federal government believes now that it has achieved its goal to provide consumers with better prices and better service, she added.

The federal government is working with local industries to find new ways to use biomass products. In a recent news release, Gallant explained that the new industrial biomaterials program seeks to ensure innovative ideas of Canadian businesses get to the marketplace, She cited two local enterprises that have been using biomaterials in non-traditional applications. Valley Bio, a Cobden-area business, creates high-value agricultural products, including bio-fuels and organic paint, and is the leading distributor of hemp seed genetics in Eastern Canada. Ensyn Technologies of Renfrew is a producer of liquid bio-fuels made from wood biomass agricultural residues. The industrial biomaterials program is a $55million initiative over five years.

The company also produces tactical clothing.

Business – Despite a small loss in the last quarter of 2013, Pacific Safety Products remains profitable, says the company. Revenues were up but so were expenses for the armour and safety products company, which has a plant in Arnprior. In financial results for the last quarter of 2013, which is the second quarter of its fiscal year, the company reported last week that its revenues were $3 million, an increase of 6.3 per cent over the same quarter in the previous year. Expenses for the second quarter were $1.1 million compared to $900,000 for the second quarter of the prior year, meaning the adjusted

News – The OPP crackdown on distracted drivers had resulted in 84 charges in the first two days of a weeklong campaign in Eastern Ontario. The campaign is running from Saturday to this Friday, March 14. A news release Monday reporting the number of charges in East Region reiterated OPP’s statistics that distracted driving fatalities have surpassed both impaired and speed-related fatalities in fatal motor vehicle collisions investigated by the OPP. A total of 78 people died in distracted driving related collisions compared to 57 impaired driving deaths and 44 speed related deaths last year. “When you consider the overall impact of these 78 fatalities last year and the 325 other distracted driving victims who have died since 2010, the number of people these irresponsible drivers have had a profound and devastating impact on is in the thousands,” said OPP Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair. “Everyone, from the victims’ families and friends to the police officers who attend these horrific collision scenes and have to notify next-of-kin, knows the emotional impact of one life lost to this senseless driving behavior trickles down to so many people who, sadly, through experience, know how badly this behaviour needs to stop,” he added. The OPP maintains that the only way to stop people from dying in dis-
News – As the snowmobiling season continues well into March, the OPP is warning snowmobilers to drive safely and pay attention to their surroundings in what can be an especially dangerous time for them. “The school holiday is underway and this is the most snow we have observed in many years during this period,” said OPP Inspector Paul Bedard, manager traffic and marine, East Region. “With the start of March Break this week, the trails will be busy and we ask that operators pay attention and drive safe on the trails and check ice conditions before heading out on the rivers and lakes. Warmer temperatures can make ice dangerous.” During the 2013/14 season alone, four people have died in Motorized Snow Vehicle (MSV) collisions. Of the four fatal crashes, three have been related to alcohol. This does not include the many crashes where people have been seriously injured, note police. “Put an end to these preventable deaths,” urge the OPP in a news release. “Pay attention, slow down and be prepared in the event you do go through the ice. “Wear flotation suits, carry picks, let others know your route and stick to it.” tracted driving related collisions is to raise awareness of how serious the problem is and to have everyone make a firm, lifelong commitment to helping police and safety partners eliminate it altogether. As part of the crackdown, the OPP is reminding motorists that on March 18 the current distracted driving fine of $155 will jump to $280 (this includes the increased $225 fine plus a $50 victim fine surcharge and $5 court cost). The OPP is asking Ontarians to show their support during this campaign. Go to the OPP’s Facebook and/or Twitter pages and let them know how you plan on helping to eliminate distracted driving on Ontario roads. The OPP will highlight some of the entries in a campaign wrap-up news release following the

Angered by drivers not driving according to weather conditions in what has been a long winter, the OPP says it is taking a hard line on motorists causing collisions because of poor driving habits.

Sports - The past couple of weekends have been the perfect storm of race action for the Calabogie Ski Racing Club. On Feb. 22, the U12s raced Kombi at Edelweiss, the U14s capped off Speed Camp with a giant slalom race at Mont Ste. Marie, and the U16s tackled slalom at Camp Fortune. This was followed up by the U14s racing at Mount St-Louis Moonstone near Barrie for the U14 Alpine Provincials as part of the Ontario Winter Games Feb. 28 to March 2. Not to be outdone, the U10s travelled to Vorlage March 1 for a Kombi. All of these races cap off a busy season, as the athletes prepare to launch into the season championships. In the U10 Kombi, Wyatt Campbell-Brunke of Renfrew was once again undefeated. Noah Matthews of Calabogie turned in a couple of good runs to come seventh and Thys Blok of White Lake pulled off his season’s best with his first top-10 result – eighth! Little Riley Cotter of Ottawa powered his way to 23rd. Louise Stonham of Arnprior was another top-tenner, finishing seventh, and Tori Cotter of Ottawa was just outside, in 13th. Nicole Duff of Pembroke came 21st. The U12 Kombi turned into a stars-on-ice performance – with plenty of thrills and spills. Sam Alexander of Carp knifed through the ice for victory. Wesley Matthews of Calabogie slid out on the sheer course (like many of his competitors) but hung on and managed to finish 18th despite two falls. The U14s capped off their Mont Ste. Marie Speed Camp with a giant slalom race, gathering excellent results. Sam Duff of Pembroke flew to first, with Jack Alexander of Carp close behind in fourth. Tyler Lefebvre of Calabogie laid down two speedy runs for 14th, and Connor Allen of Manotick was 18th. Liam Maclean of Manotick, Jack Hamilton of Burnstown and Aiden Keuninckx of Perth carved into 29th, 37th, and 41st. Owen Barr of Carp and Sean Swayze of Arnprior each completed one solid run but crashed on the other. The girls saw podium action too. Sophia Tan of Kanata flew down the hill and landed in third, with Lauren Campbell-Brunke of Renfrew right behind in fifth. The U14s travelled to Mount St-Louis Moonstone for U14 Provincials Feb. 28 to March 2. Everyone skied extremely well and loved the Ontario Winter Games pomp
Please be advised that the County of Renfrew will resume work at County Structure B096 (Centennial Lake Bridge) located on Centennial Lake Road (County Road 65) on March 17. The work will continue until the fall of 2014. During construction the road will remain open; however, traffic over the bridge is reduced to a single lane, controlled with traffic signals and restrictions to vehicles and equipment with wide loads in excess of 3.1 m.

Valley Jr. B final tied after two Staff
Sports - The Almonte Thunder have been a thorn in the side of the Renfrew Timberwolves all season long, having won four of six regular season meetings. Almonte hasn’t gone away in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League 2014 Valley Division championship series either. After defeating the Arnprior Packers in six games in the semi-final, Almonte took the defending division champion Wolves to overtime last Friday in the first game of the best-ofseven Valley Division championship series. Renfrew eventually won 4-3 at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. But
back came the Thunder with a 6-2 win in their own backyard Saturday evening. Games three and four were played Tuesday and Wednesday (after press time), with game five set for this Friday at the MAC at 8 p.m. In the Metro Division, former Packers Mitch Parker and Casey Donar combined for two goals as the defending champion Ottawa Junior Canadians staved off elimination by defeating the Ottawa West Golden Knights 4-1. The Knights, whose goal was scored by another former Packer Ethan Allard, lead the series 3-2. The Casselman Vikings and Gananoque Islanders will meet in the Rideau-St. Lawrence final.

Sports - The Upper Ottawa Valley Aces AA Minor Hockey Association has had another terrific season. Six of the seven teams in the association made the playoffs and two are still standing, the Major Bantams and the Minor Midgets. The Major Bantams, coached by Pembroke’s Murray Kyte, were fourth in the regular season standings, but they waited until the playoffs to really show their stuff. In the first round they disposed of the fifthplace Ottawa Valley Silver Seven and then in the second round beat out the regular season champion Gloucester Rangers. Now all that stands between the Aces and the league championship
is the Ottawa Sting, who they face in the finals beginning this Sunday, March 16. Meanwhile, the Major Midgets, coached by Daryl Faught, are getting ready to face the Gloucester Rangers in the league championship. In the first round of the play-offs, the Aces defeated the Rideau St. Lawrence Kings in a hard fought five-game series. In the second round the Aces pounded the Cumberland Blues three straight games, outscoring them 19-6, earning themselves a trip to the finals which also start on Sunday, March 16. For game times and locations, consult the Aces’ website at www.upperottawavalleyaces.com.

Canadian Agricultural Safety Week agsafetyweek.ca MARCH 9 -15, 2014 #CASW
Let’s talk about safety
Carolyn Van Den Heuvel is a Canada FarmSafe Advisor for the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association. She says that written safety policies and standard operating procedures are worthless if they are not communicated properly to those who need to know about them. She recommends that new staff be indoctrinated right off the bat about safety expectations. It helps to know if they’ve had prior training to operate equipment and if they have a good safety record. From there, it is up to farmers to make sure that they model safe procedures at all times. And it is crucial that employees be made to feel comfortable asking questions if they don’t understand the how or why of a safety rule. When it comes to old hands who feel they already know the ropes, it is important to take control of unsafe situations right away by explaining that there are legal issues in play. Employees who are assured that their employers are concerned for their safety are more likely to invest in safety procedures, so it’s worthwhile to talk about safety every way you look at it. Unscramble the first four words in each set of scrambles. Then use the circled letters to unscramble the final word. Some of the words may unscramble into more than one word, but only one word is related to the puzzle.

Most of Canada’s farms are still family operations. So, it’s not surprising that the farmers running things are not necessarily trained in human resources management and workplace safety. But when children help with the chores, or when outside help is brought in as farm hands and seasonal workers, clear communication and safety regulations become more important than ever. That’s why the Canadian Agricultural Association, the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, and Farm Credit Canada are working together with the Government of Canada to promote the farm safety theme “Let’s Talk About It” during this year’s Agricultural Safety Week.

African music, interactive math make learning fun engagement in the program,” she said. Rowat also reports that French as a Second Language programming for Kindergarten and Grade 1 classes will continue in the 2014–15 school year. “We will be expanding the program to include Grade 2 students,” she says. “Students will receive a total of 80 minutes of instruction in the French language in complement to the curriculum they are covering in English. We have been thrilled with the progress of our students in this program.” St. Joseph’s also has been preparing for Lent. The school council was to host a Pancake Supper on Tuesday, reported Rowat. “This event has been extremely well attended over the years, bringing in families from the school as well as neighbours and friends in the community.” Staff and students were to celebrate mass on Ash Wednesday. Grade 5 students are leading a coin collection/penny drive as part of the Lenten tradition, Rowat added. “This year we have chosen to support the Free the Children Campaign to collect money to help build schools and pay for school supplies in the developing world. In April, 15 students will attend the Free the Children We Day Celebration in Ottawa. We are all very excited.” Meanwhile, Grade 7 students at St. Joseph’s School in Calabogie have been participating in the D.A.R.E. program led by OPP community services officer Janice Sawbridge, reports principal Rory Donohue. D.A.R.E. provides education about drugs, alcohol and tobacco, along with related health and social issues. It also teaches young people how to cope with peer pressure and develop good decision-making skills based on the fourstep process of Define, Assess, Respond and Evaluate. Cambren Tymchuk is one of the students who participated in D.A.R.E. “Overall my time doing D.A.R.E. has shaped me into a more calculated decision maker,” he said. “I think that in the future I will use the D.A.R.E. decision-making model in many different situations to make good choices.”

News – In February, students in the Renfrew County Catholic School Board’s Arnprior-area schools enjoyed several fun-filled learning activities, ranging from a performance of African music to a speaking contest and an online math program. At John XXIII, principal Heidi Fraser reports that the African group Masabo with Fana Soro performed traditional songs, stories, music and dance from western Africa for students on Feb. 5. The event was sponsored by the school council and the Multicultural Arts for Schools and Communities (MASC) program, which encourages professional artists to hold workshops and performances in schools. MASC gets funding from TD–Canada Trust, Fraser says. John XXIII also held a public speaking contest for primary and junior students, Fraser reports. The school’s winners, Tassia Anas and Zoe Gough, went on to the local Legion competition. Tassia won at the Legion and will be heading to the zone level. Other fun activities included an annual ski day at Mount Pakenham for junior students and winter carnival for primary classes. Students also have been swimming and skating at the Nick Smith Centre, as well as participating in Zumba classes led by Eve Ogle, a parent from the school community. Fraser also reports that John XXIII staff has been working on professional development throughout the year, with a focus on inquiry. “We were involved in a District Review in February that showcased all of our hard work,” Fraser said. At St. Joseph’s School in Arnprior, principal Mary-Lise Rowat reports that Grades 2 to 5 received a grant to purchase rights to an online math program, called Mathletics. “This program allows students to practice basic math skills in a way that is fun and interactive,” Rowat says. “The program helps students to enhance their problem-solving approach to mathematics by using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in a 21st-century technological medium. We are very pleased with the student

Suicide-prevention certification at heart of Valley counsellor’s specialized practice Steve Newman steve.newmanmetroland.com
Community - The new Renfrew County Suicide Prevention and Crisis Centre for Youth and Families continues its work with youth. One of its family counsellors, Tom Sidney, has just been certified by the American Association of Suicidology. The 39-year-old Renfrew resident has received his accreditation as a suicide prevention specialist for youth, schools and community. He’s only one of seven specialists with that certification in Ontario. The other six work in the Toronto area. Sidney, who is the crisis centre director, works in the areas of suicide prevention, self-injury and crisis intervention. His newest certification comes near the end of the crisis centre’s nine-month pilot project in Renfrew and Pembroke. The pilot project was made possible through $14,000 in seed money from Renfrew County Rotary clubs, including those in Renfrew, Arnprior and Pembroke. The centre’s work will continue throughout this year, and beyond,
Tom Sidney as the centre seeks additional grants and other financial support, says Sidney. With the help of interaction with his own three children, Sidney says he’s staying connected with current lingo, social media, the teenage world and how the teenage brain functions.
The suicide-prevention specialist accreditation received in January, says Sidney, increases his own skill set. This includes the official capacity to work with parents of youth at risk, and to deal with such issues as identification of risk factors for youth suicide, litigation concerns, traumatic loss, suicidal media postings, creation of safety plans for youth at risk, and reintegration of youth into society following the suicide of a friend. The accreditation, says Sidney, will facilitate work with schools so that he can develop suicide-prevention protocol and work more closely with the overall community. “We don’t want to just go behind closed doors,” explained Sidney. “We believe in the wrap-around approach that includes the family, friends and schools. “We want to work with the community. We want to work with the families. We want to work with the individual … to find solutions.” Sidney is the principle counsellor at the crisis centres, which operates 5-9 p.m. Wednesdays at 715 Mackay St., Pembroke and Thursdays at the Service Ontario office in Renfrew. The centre’s support staff in-

cludes volunteers, the Robbie Dean Family Counselling Centre administrator, a psychotherapist and psychologist Dr. Richard Kaley. Over the first eight months of the crisis centre, Sidney says staff has worked with more than 85 visitors, some adults but mostly youth ages 12 to 19. Eighty per cent have been suicidal, but only three had to be referred for hospital care, says Sidney. In the other cases, Sidney says staff has worked with families, health care agencies and other supporters to support those dealing with depression, suicide or other issues. It’s important work when there’s an increase in suicides, especially among youth, in Renfrew County and across Canada. More suicides are happening, says Sidney, because today’s youth are disconnected despite their multiple connections to social media. “The average teenager has 475 friends on Facebook, but most have only up to 20 acquaintances and probably four best friends (on Facebook).” Sidney is a registered social service worker through the Ontario College of Social Workers.
Rotary clubs promote teen suicide awareness News - There will be a free public information session on teen suicide awareness Wednesday, March 19 in Renfrew. The meeting will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. (doors open at 6:30 p.m.) at St. Joseph’s High School. The speakers will be Steve Walsh of the Community Mental Health Program based at the The Royal Hospital in Ottawa, and Tom Sidney of the Renfrew County Suicide Prevention and Crisis Centre. The Renfrew Rotary Club, with support from other Valley Rotary clubs including Arnprior, is hosting the educational evening to discuss teenage mental health. The mental health experts from The Royal and the Renfrew County Suicide Prevention and Crisis Centre for Youth and Families will help parents better understand how to prepare their children to cope with life challenges and how to recognize when youth might be in distress. The session will give attendees an understanding of how the brain rewires itself during puberty, how to deal with life transitions, coping strategies, building resiliency, and how parents can help their kids deal with life stressors.

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

Brownies enjoy Pinto Valley outing
PHOTOS BY STACEY REID
Brownie Isabella Parlee rides ‘Dot Com’.
Community - The 4th Arnprior Brownies visited Pinto Valley Ranch in Fitzroy Harbour March 1 for a day of winter fun on the farm. The day began with owner Ben Jardine and his workers giving the girls a tour of the barn and a chance to brush a horse. The girls headed outside for some pony rides and a chance to ride ‘Moose’ the horse. The Brownies were then led through the trails on a sleigh ride where they played in the snow and were tricked into getting off the ride while the leaders left without them on the sleigh. Once they returned to the farm, the girls came inside to warm up by the fire, eat hot dogs and drink hot chocolate. The group finished the day off with some tobogganing. Officials expressed a big thanks to Tracey and Ben for their hospitality again. “You do a great job at Pinto.�

LCBO collecting funds for training guide dogs this month Lifestyle - The public can help support Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides by making a donation this month at the Arnprior and other LCBO stores in Ontario. Donation boxes for Dog Guides are being displayed at LCBO checkout counters from March 2 to 31.
Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides provides specially trained dog guides to Canadians with disabilities. Each dog guide is provided at no cost despite costing $25,000 to train and place. Six types of dog guides are trained to assist with a wide range
of disabilities: canine vision, hearing ear, service, seizure response, autism assistance and diabetic alert. About 64 per cent of all current dog guide recipients live in Ontario. Guide Dogs are one of many charities the customers of the LCBO support by contributing to collection boxes at its stores. R0012594558

March is (good) nutrition month Weight management, wellness and nutrition
Ian Harris RNT
Opinion – “Health is wealth!� “You are what you eat!� “Garbage in garbage out!� You probably heard them all. So what’s the big deal? Well for one, life is not a dress rehearsal. You do not get a second chance to make things right. Our health, our well-being, spiritually, mentally and physically is in our power to change. So I’m giving you all a challenge! All I ask is that you give it a try. Take 21 days and see just how great a small lifestyle change can feel. Be creative! Try something different. Purchase a fruit and vegetable that you have yet to try. Cut down on sugar, sodium and fat. Try low-fat dairy products, poultry without skin and lean meats to impart flavor. Serve healthy snacks such as a handful of almonds, raisins, air popped popcorn (no butter or salt), sliced vegetables and fruit. Do not use food as a punishment or reward. Let your children get involved. Teach them to “eat the rainbow.� Keep a chart on the fridge so they can record each
color of fruit or vegetable they have each day. You can also have then plan, shop for and prepare meals. By doing so, they are likely to make better food choices when they are involved in the process. Get moving! Encourage informal play virtually every day. If you can’t participate with your kids during the week, plan on being active during the weekend. Go skating, walk your dog, go for a long walk, etc. A body in motion stays in motion. Get moving! Turn off the television and put away the electronics. The family should be encouraged to enjoy meal time as a time when family gathers. Suppertime should be a time to relax and unwind from the stressors of the day. A healthier tomorrow starts today! So what are you weighting for? SUGAR LEVELS
The World Health Organization (WHO) is again urging people to lower the amount of sugar they eat. The Geneva-based global health agency says getting
daily sugar intake to below five per cent of one’s daily caloric intake would be optimal but reiterated that restricting intake to no more than 10 per cent is also good. According to the WHO, five per cent would be about six teaspoons of sugar a day. A can of sugar-sweetened soda contains about 10 teaspoons of sugar. Not to get confused with fruit, which contains natural occurring sugars, flavonoids, phytochemicals and fiber, which are all very good for you, the sugar in question comes from processed foods, foods that have had sugar added to them. The recommendations look at limiting sugar intake in relation to lowering the risk of diabetes, obesity, heart disease and dental decay Ian Harris of Arnprior is a registered nutritional therapist, certified food psychology coach, certified wellness coach and personal chef. He holds many other certification and specialties within nutrition and specializes in lifestyle and weight management.

In spite of Depression there were still many treats to be had Lifestyle - Goodness knows we were reminded often enough that there was a Depression on! Just ask for something as simple as a pair of white stockings, or a new hair ribbon, and you were told once again of the scarcity of money. “There is no money for such frivolities!” And how often were we told: “Eat every last scrap on your plate ... if you don’t you were taking it right out of the mouth of a starving Armenian!” I had no idea who the starving Armenians were, but I was pretty sure that they lived in Arnprior!

Yes, wasting food was a sin, and if it cost money, and wasn’t absolutely necessary, your chances of getting what you asked for were pretty slim indeed. And yet, we had what I called treats aplenty back in the ‘30s. When the nights were bitterly cold, with the wind howling outside rattling the windows, Mother could always come up with something that took the chill out of the old log house. Often it was a popper full of corn, laced with a jug of melted butter. Sometimes it was a treat that my sister Audrey said took the place of a good dose of Epsom salts, but to me it was delicious. And if I had stopped to think about it, it wasn’t something handed out willy-nilly ... in fact, we only got it in the dead of winter. It was a big glass of molasses, water and a heaping tablespoon of baking soda. It fizzed up, often pouring out of the glass, and I considered it a real treat, which pleased Mother. It was never handed out on a school night, of course, because the result of this special treat was many trips to the outside privy! My sister Audrey called it “our winter clean-out,” but to me, it was a treat. And then there was oven toast. How I loved oven toast. It didn’t come out looking like the toast made on top of the stove, over hot coals. Every one of us considered it a special treat, and when Mother asked, “who would like a piece of oven toast?”, we all squealed
Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
with anticipation. Only Mother could turn out oven toast the way I like it. She would lay out slices of thick homemade bread on the bake table, lavish butter on both sides, put a wire rack over a couple deep pie plates, put the bread in rows on the rack, plug in another block of wood into the stove and put everything into the hot oven. The butter-saturated bread would crisp to a light golden brown, and I thought it was the most delicious treat Mother ever invented, breaking the slices into pieces and gobbling it up with butter running down my fingers. The trick, Mother said, was not to take it out of the oven until it was crisp, but not letting it brown. She knew just how to manage it all in right order, and there wasn’t, in my mind, a more delicious before-bed treat than oven toast. There always seemed to be lots of homemade bread at our house. Mother baked once or twice a week, and we five kids were forever fighting over who got the crusts at either end of the loaf. It got to the point
where Mother had us draw straws for this treat. And a special bedtime treat was a thick slice of homemade bread, buttered of course, and then spread with a layer of brown sugar with cinnamon sprinkled on top. I have no idea why she did it, but Mother always cut the slices into little squares before piling them on a dinner plate in the middle of the table, moving the sugar bowl and spoon holder to make room. The whole pile would vanish in minutes, and we would head off to bed with sugarfilled stomachs and a feeling of complete joy. My sister Audrey became an expert at making fudge. No one could talk to her when she was at the job. I would sit at the table and listen to her slap the big wood spoon around the pot which was inside another pot of cold water. It had to be just the right consistency before she poured it into a buttered pie plate and left to chill. When she wasn’t looking, I would go out to the summer kitchen where the pie plate of fudge was sitting, and press my finger into it, just to make sure it was hardening. If Audrey noticed the finger marks, she said nothing. That night, when we were sitting around the old pine table, each engrossed in his own activity, Audrey would cut the fudge into little squares, and dole them out like they were chunks of gold.

Once the maple syrup season started, and Mother retrieved a pot of sap from the big flat pan boiling in the bush, simmering it down to a right thickness, we had “taffy on snow,” a special treat on a Saturday night, or Sunday afternoon. Mother, of course, made sure the snow brought in from outside was nowhere near the barn yard, and well away from the house. Heaven forbid that a stray animal had put a foot within a county mile of the snow my brother brought in in the big roast pan! And the hot syrup would be drizzled on the fresh snow, let harden, and then we lifted it off with buttered fingers and sucked the taffy like we would a sucker bought at Briscoe’s General Store! I shared a special treat with my beloved sister Audrey, that no one else in the family seemed to relish. When a jar of preserved plums would be brought up from the dug-out cellar for a meal, and the pits were all that were left in the little fruit nappies around the table, Audrey would get out the breadboard, and the little tack-hammer, and she’d break open the pits freeing the pulp from inside. We would wait until all the pits had been smashed open, and then Audrey and I would move to the creton couch near the Findlay Oval, and between us, we’d devour the fruit nappy of pits as if they were storebought candy! Even my hateful brother Emerson’s prediction that eventually the pits would sprout and grow a plum shrub in my stomach didn’t take away my love of plum pits! Those long ago days of the Depression years were years of the most simple pleasures, and treats free of an outlay of money, and long before cholesterol was part of our vocabulary.

St. Patrick’s Day revellers got into the swing of things a little early at the Renfrew and Area Seniors Home Support St. Paddy’s party at the Renfrew Legion March 8. There was a full house to enjoy the draws, light lunch and an entertainment lineup that included, from left, Guy Jamieson, Darrel Mooney, Bob Johnston, Dennis Harrington and Kent Smith. at 8 p.m. and don’t stop until around midnight. There will be live music, a light meal and a cash bar. The music, too, will be Irish-themed and will be provided live throughout the night by the Ryan Brothers and Kyle Felhaver. “These guys are well known throughout the Ottawa Valley,� Murphy said, “and they always put on a really good show. It should be a fun night.� While many events in the Mississippi Mills area are family events, Murphy says that because of the cash bar and the nature of this evening, the dance is aimed at the 19and-over age group. So if you feel like strapping on your dancing shoes and celebrating the luck of the Irish this month, the Pakenham St. Patrick’s Day Dance is probably the place to be. Tickets
will go fast, so Murphy urges locals to get theirs quickly. “We always have a full house at this event,� Murphy said. “It really is the place to be in Pakenham on St. Patty’s Day.� STEW IN GLASGOW

Josie was brought to the shelter last March as a stray and was never claimed. She is a beautiful, two year old calico that desperately needs to ďŹ nd a quiet, adult home where she can be spoiled and pampered. Josie is not fond of other pets and would prefer to be the only pet in the home. Due to her dislike for other animals, she is not doing well at the shelter and has to reside in a cage. Josie has become overweight and is unhappy; she is now on special diet food to help her lose a few pounds. Josie is a quiet girl; she is an indoor only cat that likes to be gently petted. Do you have room in your home to rescue this beautiful girl from a life behind bars?

Top of the line, awarding winning speakers that sound utterly real and involving. “According to my value system for loudspeakers — honest octaveto-octave balance, precise imaging, expansive spatial accuracy, freedom from dynamic compression, and absence of coloration — PSB’s Synchronys are among the best loudspeakers I’ve auditioned in my studio in several years. You could easily spend substantially more and do no better, or not as well. Synchrony was definitely worth the wait.” Dan Kumin, Sound & Vision
