Two evening sessions set for Braeside Quarry OMB hearing John Carter
john.carter@metroland.com
The residents appealing the expansion at the Braeside Quarry are taking their turn in the spotlight as the four-week Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing into appeals of McNabBraeside council’s decisions on the matter entered its second stage late this week.
For the first dozen days of the hearing, Miller Paving Ltd. has been presenting expert witnesses who support the expansion of the operation and the building of a permanent asphalt plant in the quarry, a proposal rejected by council. Miller’s appeal was expected to wrap up Tuesday, making way for the testimony of residents and their experts on why the approved extraction expansion at the quarry should be

overturned or at least controlled more strictly. The residents’ appeal will feature two evening sessions next week (March 24-25) to allow for residents who have registered to be ‘participants’ in the hearing to make their presentations and more members of the public to take in the hearing.
Is McNab-Braeside a township divided? It seems so to Coun. Mark MacKenzie. After hearing several neighbours of Clay Bank Park vehemently speak out against a proposed RV park there (see Page 5), he suggested they reach out to others in the township, particularly those fighting the proposed expansion of the Braeside Quarry. “There seems to be a line along Highway 417 dividing the township,� said MacKenzie at the McNab-Braeside council’ planning advisory committee meeting. He noted he’s asked people on the north side about the Clay Bank controversy and many don’t even know where it is. As for the people on the south side, including those protesting the Clay Bank proposal, many don’t seem concerned that there are 150 residents of their township whose lifestyle is being threatened. And threatened by an industrial operation that is “far more intrusive than an RV park,� he said.

Arnprior hospital praised for commitment to healthy eating Staff
Wendy Knechtel/SUBMITTED
Celebrating Arnprior Regional Hospital’s achievement of becoming the first Eastern Ontario hospital to earn the Bronze designation in the Healthy Foods in Hospitals program, from left, are hospital representatives Ron Marcotte, Greg Palubiskie, Christina Carnegie, Nancy Brown, Cathy Brazeau and Gloria Whelan, and ARH Auxiliary member Doreen Nicholas. the healthy choice is the easy choice by providing better food options in hospital retail settings. This includes the cafeteria, vending machines, gift shop and franchise outlets. The key changes undertaken for ARH achieve the Bronze designation included increasing availability of vegetables, fruits, and whole grain bread
products; providing calorie and sodium information for soups and entrees; removing deep fryers/deep fried foods; reducing the variety of chocolate, chips, coated granola bars, candy, pretzels, danishes, croissants, pies, cinnamon buns and donuts; lowering the level of sodium in soups; and decreasing portion sizes of high-calorie
food choices, and reducing unhealthy food choices, is an important way to reduce chronic disease risk factors,” explains ARH manager of food services Christina Carnegie.
Achieving Bronze is the first goal. Moving forward, ARH is committed to working towards Silver level designation, which includes further enhancements to its retail food settings.
R0013169872_0312
Arnprior Regional Hospital (ARH) has become the first of 15 hospitals participating in the Champlain Healthy Foods in Hospitals program to reach the Bronze designation – a full year ahead of the target date. “Congratulations to the team at Arnprior Regional Health for its commitment to improving the health of our community,” said Champlain LHIN CEO Chantale LeClerc in a news release. “I am extremely proud that hospitals in our region are modeling healthy eating to the thousands of patients, visitors, staff, physicians, and volunteers they serve, “The Healthy Foods in Hospitals initiative will go a long way to helping a very large number of people stay healthy and avoid disease and the Champlain LHIN is pleased to support its implementation.” The Healthy Foods initiative is about creating a supportive, healthy food environment for staff, physicians, visitors, patients and volunteers. It means working to ensure

We extend our sincere congratulations to Arnprior on being the first hospital in our region to reach this important milestone,” former Arnprior hospital CEO Cholly Boland. Bolland, the CEO of Winchester District Memorial Hospital, is the co-chair of the Healthy Foods in Hospitals Leadership task force. The program is currently voluntary. The ultimate goal is for all Champlain (Eastern Ontario) hospitals to be implementing the program. Providing healthy food choices in the workplace supports employee health and well-being, which in turn, supports employees in their ability to deliver the best possible patient care. The Healthy Foods initiative complements other wellness initiatives that are already in place. “It’s also about supporting the health and well-being of our employees. Providing healthy

OMB hears residents’ appeal of quarry expansion wells. Lindgren hammered away at the risks a spill at the asphalt plant would be to the surroundings, while Clark and the Gorrells said the company’s containment plans adhered to ministry regulations. Lindgren expressed concern that some of the monitoring, mitigation endeavours and other specific details regarding the asphalt plant (such as the precise location) would only be determined after the hearing in the subsequent approval processes. That makes it difficult to judge whether there will be a threat, he said. When he asked what the worst-case scenario would be at a plant, the hydro-geologists sug-

The sessions, additional to the full day of testimony, will be held Tuesday and Wednesday (March 24-25) at 7 p.m. at McNab Public School. The residents are stressing “this is a very important time for everyone to show up to show support and concern.� Among the experts being brought in by the FACT-MB group to testify as to why the expanded operation, particularly an asphalt plant, is a threat to its residential neighbours are Wilf Ruland, Dr. Sam Kiger, Dr. Henry Cole and Michael Wright. They each have studied the quarry operation as it relates to their own field of expertise. There will also be eight lay witnesses testifying. After the residents make their case, the township will be given time to provide its feelings on the matter. OMB’s Marc Denhez is chairing the hearing, listening to testimony and cross-examination, as well as asking pointed questions of his own. While the timing is tight, the hearing will have to wrap up by Friday, March 27 as many of the principals will be unavailable after that. Late last week, the testimony focused on natural environment and hydro-geology issues. Skelton Brumwell senior project engineer Jay Clark and independent hydro-geologists Jennifer and George Gorrell spend much of two days on the stand talking about their findings regarding the quarry operations’ effect on

Clark said hydro-geology studies indicate that the quarry operation to date has not impacted the surface water in a way that disadvantages its neighbours. On Monday, county planner Bruce Haworth and Gary Bell of Skelton Brumwell took to the stand as the hearing focused on planning aspects of the case. The day sessions of the hearing begin at 9:30 a.m. and are held in McNab-Braeside council chambers.
‘Not one nickel’ to help quarry campaign Marc Denhez of the Ontario Municipal Board is chairing the four-week hearing into appeals of McNab-Braeside council decisions regarding the proposed Braeside Quarry expansion project. ground and surface water in the area. Rick Lindgren of the Canadian Environmental Law Association (CELA) provided the cross-examination on behalf of the residents. Much of the back-and-forth zeroed in on possible effects an asphalt plant would and could have on nearby wetlands and neighbours’

Yet when opponents to the quarry expansion tried to raise money to mount the Ontario Municipal Board appeal currently underway against the former council’s decision, “not one nickel was donated� from other areas of the township, MacKenzie said. “That’s disappointing.� He said the residents protesting the Clay Bank proposal should connect with others in the township to persuade them that it is not in the best interests of the municipality to have it approved.
“You need to reach out and get support,� he said. “That’s the way to seriously help your position.� What level of support opponents need to have council vote against it is not a question that can be answered at this point in the process, MacKenzie said. However, he suggested the group put a great deal of effort into their petition and input to council, including applying to be a delegation. “It takes a lot,� he said. “Look at the quarry,� he said, noting FACT-MB members

spent a great deal of time and money lobbying council and still had to go the OMB appeal route. During discussion of the project at the PAC meeting, some of the opponents to the project suggested council should be putting more stock in the input of residents directly affected by the proposal than those that live further away. The group opposed to the RV park has started a petition and is waging a campaign on social media to have council reject it.

Nature trails or RV park? Council Put Your faces decision on Clay Bank park SLED to BED Service Special John Carter
John.carter@metroland.com
Residents opposed to a proposed RV-campground development at Clay Bank Park in McNab-Braeside raised several areas of concern at township council’s planning advisory committee (PAC) meeting last week. About 30 residents attended the March 10 meeting to hear a report by planner Bruce Haworth and ask questions about where council is in the process of deliberating on the controversial proposal. As well, as bringing up environmental, noise and traffic concerns, residents suggested that the original reason the township had acquired the land was for a soccer field surrounded by nature trails, not a RV park. The strong turnout came on the heels of a meeting March 8 in White Lake in which about 60 people showed up to discuss ways to oppose the project. Mayor Tom Peckett and Deputy Mayor Brian Armsden, who chaired the PAC meeting, stressed that the process was in its very early stages and residents will have plenty of opportunity for input. “I see a number of hurdles that need to be satisfied before we could go ahead,” said Peckett. However, he said council shouldn’t necessarily reject the proposal because some people are against it. He pointed out it is council’s duty to consider all proposals, performing due diligence as it goes through the process. Once all the steps are taken and information and input scrutinized, council’s job is to “do what is in the best interests of the whole township,” said Peckett. “We can’t say no at this stage just because some people are against it. Believe it or not, there are people who are in favour of it (RV park),” he told those who showed up to express their opposition to the plan. “There is plenty of work ahead,” agreed Armsden, promising the public would be kept informed thoughout the process. Council received a checklist from Haworth identifying planning considerations and issues that needed to be addressed before a decision is made whether to allow the development on the township owned lands along the Madawaska River. The report points out a rezoning, official plan amendments and site plan would need to be approved before the development gets the green light. An environmental impact study
Tom Peckett: number of hurdles facing Clay Bank proposal. and several others reports (planning justification, traffic, compatibility with nearby agricultural land, setbacks, septic, servicing) would also be required, he suggested. In his report, Haworth advises the township to be cautious about entering into a Public-Private Partnership (P3) to allow development and operation of the RV park. Bob Wachna of Madawaska Shores Investment has approached council with a proposal to lease the Clay Bank lands for 30 years for a payment of five per cent of the campground’s gross income. “The Township should carefully consider the appropriateness of a P3 for a commercial venture,” Haworth said, noting the municipality’s role should be providing services for its citizens not enhancing a private business. He suggested two ways council could proceed if it supports developing Clay Bank Park for a RV park/ campground. The first would be to declare the lands surplus and sell them at market value, he said. The township could guarantee, as a condition of sale, water access and use of the boat launch for the public. “This would remove long-term liability from the township, and would not require ongoing staff resources for the upkeep of lease agreements, review of accounting documents, and dealing with complaints/compliance/ maintenance issues,” Haworth wrote. “The campground would then generate perpetual tax revenue as with every other commercial business (including other campgrounds) within the township.” The second option would be to lease the lands at market rates. The township would need to have the lands professionally appraised and determine an appropriate lease rate that is not tied to the profits of the campground, Haworth advised.
The agreement should protect the township from future liability issues and costs in case of future problems with the RV park operation, he added. Haworth said that in entertaining both options council should seek legal advice before proceeding. Coun. Mark MacKenzie called the report enlightening, particularly regarding the P3 ramifications. He said he is wary about such an arrangement as it could leave the township open to liability if something goes wrong. There are obviously many issues that have to be looked at seriously by the township, he said. A major requirement would be to find out more about the leda clay in the area that could lead to slippage that close to the river, he added. “If disturbed in the wrong way, the whole thing could collapse,” said Haworth. “If it (clay) is present, you have a number of options such as special construction techniques … or stay away completely.”

We can’t say no at this stage just because some people are against it. Believe it or not, there are people who are in favour of (the RV park). Tom Peckett
In the question period at the end of the PAC meeting, Lori Hoddinott, who lives near the park, said there are many reasons why an RV park at Clay Bank is unwise. “It’s a heavily protected area and there is a lot of resistance to it,” she said. “There’s natural and cultural heritage at risk down there.” There are also species at risk on the site, she added. Blair Young said the township had originally bought the land to place a soccer field in the middle and have nature walks around it. But it has sat vacant for 18 years, he said. Ken Waterhouse asked when a decision would be made and urged there be plenty of notice for any public consultation sessions. Roger Robertson asked what the appropriate time is for those opposed to officially protest. Armsden reiterated that discussion is in the early stages and that the public would be kept up-to-date. He suggested those with comments and questions mail or email them to the township CAO so they can be added to the public record.

An Arnprior man has been fined $1,200 for shooting a goose from his car in the Galetta area. A Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) news release reports that Jean Claude Richard pleaded guilty and was fined $1,000 for unlawfully discharging a firearm from a vehicle and $100 for hunting small game without a licence. Both charges were laid under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act. Richard was fined an additional $100 for hunting a migratory bird without a permit under the Migratory Birds Convention Act. In addition to the fines, he is not allowed to hunt in Ontario for one year. The Ottawa court heard that on Oct. 25, 2013, Richard was driving on Mohr’s Road in West Carleton when he stopped and fired a rifle from inside the car, killing a Canada goose. A conservation officer investigated the incident after it was reported in a public complaint. Justice of the Peace Brian Mackey heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice on Feb. 26. The MNR reminds hunters that it is illegal to possess a loaded firearm in or on an aircraft, vehicle or motorboat. It is also illegal to shoot from, down or across a road. For further information on hunting regulations, please consult the Ontario Hunting Regulations Summary available at ontario.ca/ hunting. To report a natural resources violation, call the MNR TIPS line at 1-877-847-7667 toll-free any time or contact the local ministry office during regular business hours. People can also call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). The MNR reports two other Renfrew County residents have also been fined for shooting from a vehicle after being fooled by a decoy. Jordan Dick pleaded guilty and was fined $1,000 for discharging a firearm from a vehicle and received a suspended sentence for trespassing to hunt. Corinna Aird was fined $100 for discharging a firearm from a vehicle.
A rifle and ammunition were seized from the Golden Lake residents and forfeited to the Crown. Court heard that on Jan. 10 Pembroke District conservation officers erected a deer decoy on Trail Blazers Road in Wilberforce in response to trespassing and road hunting complaints. Dick and Aird were travelling along the roadway and spotted the deer decoy. Dick loaded his firearm and fired two shots at the decoy from inside the vehicle. Another Renfrew County resident has been fined for shooting from a road at a decoy. Ricky Recoskie of Round Lake Centre, who pleaded guilty, was fined $500 for trespassing to hunt and $500 for discharging a firearm from a roadway. A bow was seized and forfeited to the Crown. Court heard that on Dec. 12, 2014, Pembroke District conservation officers erected a deer decoy on private property on Division Road in Hagarty Township. The decoy was erected in response to complaints received from local property owners. Recoskie was travelling along the roadway and spotted the decoy. He fired two shots at the decoy from the roadway with a bow. Justice of the Peace Barry Moran heard both cases in Pembroke court on Feb. 23. MOOSE DUMPED
The MNR is seeking the public’s help in identifying the person or persons responsible for dumping the remains of a cow moose along Johnston Road just north of Madoc. The moose had been shot out of season. The remains of the butchered moose were found inside a grain bag that was dumped in a ditch during the first week of last December. The hide and remains were fresh and it is believed the moose was shot around Dec. 1. If you have any information about this incident, contact the MNR TIPS line at 1-877-847-7667 toll-free any time or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

BBQ SAFETy
Safety In Your Sizzle Few things can match the fun and enjoyment of a barbecue with family and friends. Practice sensible, safe barbecuing and your spring/summer get-togethers will be a sizzling success. Season Opener At the start of the BBQ season, do this three-step safety check of your BBQ: 1. Clean: Use a pipe cleaner or wire to ensure burner ports are free of rust, dirt, spider webs or other debris. 2. Check: Examine the hose leading from the tank to the burners. Replace if cracked or damaged. 3. Test: Find leaks by applying a 50/50 solution of water and dish soap to propane cylinder connections and hoses. If bubbles appear, tighten the connection and/or replace the damaged parts and retest. Light It Right Take these steps in the right order when igniting a BBQ: 1. Open the hood. 2. Turn gas release valve on tank. 3. Turn on grill controls or heat settings. 4. Take a step back. 5. Push the igniter button. If there is no igniter button, insert a long match or BBQ lighter
through the side burner hole first, then turn on the heat control knob. If the burner does not ignite right away, turn the gas off and wait five minutes, keeping the hood open, before repeating the procedure. Keep It Safe Barbecues are approved for outdoor use only. They emit carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that can lead to unconsciousness and even death, which means never barbecue in a garage, tent or other enclosed space. Propane cylinders must not be used or stored inside any structure. Do’s and Don’ts for Handling a BBQ DO... • Keep loose clothing away from a hot barbecue. • Keep children and pets at a safe distance. • Turn gas valve off first when finished, then turn off the burner controls, so no gas is left in the connecting hose. • Allow the BBQ to cool completely before closing the cover. DO NOT... • Don’t leave the BBQ unattended when in use. • Don’t allow grease to build up on the burners or at the base of the barbecue, as this could cause a grease fire • Don’t throw water on a grease fire – this will only spread the flame. • Don’t position your barbecue too close to wooden fences or walls. Make sure the area behind your BBQ is free of combustible material, since this is where hot gases escape.

Comparing consumption upsets neighbours Hydro One’s ‘Last Month Neighbour Comparison’ calls have prompted a storm of protest, particularly from rural residents. Residents are reporting receiving the messages from Hydro One evaluating their power usage in comparision to their neighbours. Considering how cold the winter has been, the criticizing of people for their power usage is intrusive and poorly-timed say critics of the program. Others suggest it is none of Hydro One’s business how much power a homeowner uses as long as he pays his bill. The compairing of neighbours has sparked letters to the editor aas well as letters to Hydro One asking them to stop the practice. The Chronicle-Guide and its sister paper the West Carleton Review have received letters complaining about the practice from Kinburn, Carp and Calabogie. SMART METRES ‘boondoggle’
In a news release last week, RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski expressed “shock” at provincial Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli calling smart meters are a ‘good-news story’ for the province. In spite of all the protests about rising hydro rates and the smart meter program, the Liberal government is contemplating yet another increase to time-of-use pricing,
noted Yakabuski. Despite the fact that the Auditor General has found that the smart meter program has run almost a billion dollars past its original budget - and the devices often do not relay accurate information back to the utilities the energy minister continues to sing their praises, he added. “From the very beginning the smart meter program has been a boondoggle” said Yakabuski. “These devices are one of the leading reasons why ratepayers have seen skyrocketing increases in their hydro bills in recent years.” Even more worrisome to Yakabuski is the fact the energy minister openly musing about changing the time-of-use pricing. “When Liberals use the word ‘change’, people should hide their wallets” said Yakabuski. “We have seen time and time again that this is just a code word for the Liberals to raise the cost of hydro. Increasing the time-of-use rates will decrease people’s disposable income and discourage businesses from investing in the province.” Ontario ratepayers already pay some of the highest power rates in North America, said Yakabuski. “Ontarians are struggling. A decade into the Liberal’s failed energy program, many families are unable to pay their hydro bills month to month. The energy ideas of the Liberals have failed ratepayers and if they
do not chart a new direction soon the damage will be irreversible” Yakabuski concluded. SYSTEM FLICKERS
Did your lights flicker Monday evening? Hydro One reports that at about 9:26 p.m. on March 16, it experienced a “momentary issue” on its transmission system that resulted in a voltage disturbance. As a result, customers across the province may have noticed a momentary flickering of their lights, the company says in a news release. The cause of this event was still under investigation as of Tuesday. However, early reports indicate this was a unique occurrence, says Hydro One. Reports also suggest this event was the result of an insulator breaking and releasing a transmission line causing it to fall to the ground. The line also made contact with another transmission line as it fell. Despite the flickering, there were no power outages reported. The company will investigate what role weather and salt contamination might have played in the event. Hydro One proactively monitors and mitigates salt contamination on its equipment through power-washing. These efforts have been hampered this year due to extreme and prolonged cold temperatures.
13th ANNUAL PAKENHAM
Arnprior OPP report an assortment of tools was stolen from Canadian Tire in town on Thursday March 12. The theft was captured on video surveillance and the investigation is continuing. OPP Constable Ken Rusaw is investigating. It was one of 194 calls responded to by the Renfrew-Arnprior Detachment of the OPP last week. Among them were seven calls relating to domestic disputes. As a result one man was charged with assault and choking. The OPP stress that healthy relationships do not include threats, harassment, assaults, disregard to court orders or violence. “If you are in a relationship and are experiencing any of these, call 9-1-1, or seek help from someone you trust.” AVIODING EMISSIONS
OPP officers are investigating after receiving a report that someone has used another’s address to register a vehicle. The suspect lives in Ottawa and may be attempting to avoid an emissions test on a vehicle, police surmise. The Ministry of Transportation and OPP are investigating.

A Caregiver’s Story Before being introduced to The Grove Nursing Home daytime program, 68 year old Ben* had nowhere to turn. His wife, Diane, had been battling Parkinson’s disease for over 20 years and had recently developed Dementia. As her mind and body continued to deteriorate, her condition completely consumed both of their lives. Taking care of Diane became a full time job. Ben found that he was so focused on his wife that he wasn’t able to take care of the other needs in his life. Work began to pile up and he found that his mood had worsened and his temper was getting shorter and shorter. He knew that it was time to reach out for help. Diane now attends The Grove daytime program three days a week. From 10 until 3, she is able to make friends and utilize her social skills while taking part in a suite of fun and interactive activities. Ben has really noticed a change in his wife as he has begun to see her bubbly personality again. Ben has also been able to reap the benefits of this experience. With five extra hours in the day, he is able to accomplish so

He is able to do things for himself that he hasn’t been able to do in years. With this break in the day, Ben is now able to enjoy the time that he does get with his wife. The experience has drastically improved their relationship. Ben says that without the help of the supportive staff and volunteers at the Grove, he wouldn’t be able to function and that he wouldn’t be able to go on. This program allows the couple to continue living together in their home, and that is the greatest gift that they could ask for. R0013068117
The Legislature returned following Family Day and the Sudbury by-election. What we learned in the lead up to the Sudbury by-election has been the subject of countless questions concerning the ethics and integrity of Kathleen Wynne and her political operatives. I myself have asked 15 questions on the subject. To capsulate the issue, former Sudbury MPP, Joe Cimino, resigned his seat on November 20th necessitating a by-election. Andrew Olivier was the Liberal candidate during the last general election, losing a narrow race to Mr. Cimino. Most people—including Andrew Olivier—thought he would be the Liberal candidate once again. However, Kathleen Wynne had other ideas. In late November she convinced Glenn Thibeault, the sitting NDP MP in the riding, to resign his federal seat and run provincially. And this is where the scandal begins. Political operatives of the Premier—Pat Sorbara, her chief of staff, and Gerry Lougheed, one of her top fundraisers— approached Mr. Olivier and offered him inducements to step aside and allow Mr. Thibeault to get the nomination uncontested. When Mr. Olivier refused, the Premier appointed Mr. Thibeault as the candidate. The Premier, as Liberal leader, is fully empowered by her party’s Constitution to appoint a candidate. However, under Electoral Law and the Criminal Code it is illegal to offer someone inducements to step aside in favour of someone else. The issue is now the subject of an investigation by the Chief Electoral Officer of the province. The Ontario Provincial Police have also begun a criminal investigation. The Chief Electoral Officer has already stated that in his view there are apparent breaches of the Election Act. We are awaiting information from the Ontario Provincial Police, but I can tell you that as of the writing of this column (March 11th, five weeks into the investigation), the Premier is yet to be interviewed. This brings four investigations currently underway by the OPP with respect to conduct of either Members or staff of the Wynne Government. We will keep you informed as this unfolds. Recently, Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli announced that that his government is reviewing the time-of-use pricing with respect to your hydro bills. In my experience, anytime this government uses the words ‘review’ and ‘electricity’ in the same statement, your bills are probably going up. They just do not seem to get it. They just do not understand how unaffordable electricity has become for people in rural Ontario under their misguided energy policy. The government—through Minister Chiarelli—has also announced the possible privatization of at least a portion of Hydro One. Hydro One is the utility that delivers your power. It is not in the production business, it’s in the distribution business. It is also the utility that has been embroiled in a billing controversy that has become a fiasco, one that has even drawn the involvement of Ontario’s Ombudsman André Marin. For years, the Ontario Liberals have been opposed to the privatization of the public utility, but they are so starved for cash to try to mitigate the massive debt they have run up that they are putting many assets on the chopping block. Before any public utility or other provincial asset is sold, Ontarians should see a complete cost-benefit analysis to ensure that they are getting value for their money. Any proposal should be vetted by the Auditor General before a decision is made. Ontario’s assets are there for the benefit of all. They are not there to help the Liberals climb out of their fiscal mess. The Liberals’ hunger for cash prompted them earlier this year to divest themselves of all the shares they still held in General Motors. They purchased those shares during the recession of 2008/2009 and sold them for $600 million less than you—the taxpayer—paid for them. I have said it many times that Liberal math just does not add up, and this is another glaring example. On a positive note, we have been lobbying hard for improvements on our highways in Renfrew County and expect that this summer we will see a significant amount of construction activity. One of my prime goals has always been to make our highways as up to date and safe as possible. 0319.R0013185103 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, March 19, 2015 7

Praise be the CHEO volunteers for 50 years of dedicated service The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) has announced the dedication of Memory Lane to CHEO’s Volunteer Association, in celebration of the association’s 50 years of dedication to the hospital. The dedication is a worthy one indeed when you consider the many volunteers who have played a role in CHEO over the years. From construction through to its day-today operations, volunteers have been there to ensure children across the region, including Renfrew County, have access to the finest in care for our children. At the dedication ceremony, CHEO president and CEO Alex Munter applauded the countless volunteers who support the hospital. “Without them, the dream of CHEO would have never come to be, so today we gather here to say our deepest thank you and kick off their year of celebration,� Munter said. A recent news release explained how the CHEO Volunteer Association began in 1965 as a group of dedicated moms and some dads, known then as the Valley Hospital Women’s
Auxiliary. “They saw a need for a dedicated pediatric hospital to serve the children in the Ottawa region, and were determined to make it happen,� the release said. Hundreds of coffee parties, bake sales and special events followed and raised millions of dollars. The new CHEO Memory Lane includes memorabilia from the past 50 years, donated by volunteers to showcase CHEO’s rich history. The CHEO Volunteer Association encourages all volunteers to celebrate with them this year. If you are a past CHEO volunteer who would like to be involved in upcoming celebrations this spring, you are asked to contact 613-737-7600, ext. 2752 or volunteerassociation@cheo.on.ca to learn more. Residents of Arnprior and area are among the many people who have benefited from this wonderful hospital over the years. We wish the CHEO Volunteer Association a wonderful 50th anniversary and encourage continued support of their efforts.
LETTER
Save lower Madawaska River from RV park development To the Editor: Bob Wachna of Madawaska Shores Investments is proposing to develop Clay Bank Park into a pre-approved 300-site RV Park, including additional sites with an unknown number of tents, laundry facilities, restaurant, store, private owned (user fee based) sports fields and a festival site, washrooms and a septic system. These plans include construction on the Ontario Hydro owned setback lands, which all waterfront owners on the Madawaska River are familiar with. Under Ontario Hydro Authority, none of these lands can be used for any building or development purposes whatsoever. The site selection is in a high environmentally sensitive area, which would require a very
extensive environmental impact study into the effects of such a proposal on the fish breeding grounds located in Clay Bank; the bobolink, an endangered bird species sighted in the area; and any other natural habitat. Serious consideration would have to be given to the slip clay soil type at the proposed site that can suddenly give way, falling into the Madawaska River and causing great damage, again as residents along the Madawaska are aware. Bob Wachna is conducting a survey in Arnprior, which is not McNab-Braeside. To have a valid survey, it should include the surrounding property owners and residents who will be affected by his proposal, but so far Bob has not approached these res-

‘town hall’ meeting. Who has ever heard of just written questions at a ‘town hall’ meeting? The whole purpose is to have questions from the floor. Why have a ‘town hall’ meeting in the first place; let’s just mail in our questions and the council can meet in the mayor’s office to read them and have staff publish a suitable vetted response. Some of us believe McNab-Braeside council is off track on stifling the public’s right to question and maybe should adapt more of a listening attitude.
To the Editor: As a local resident of Arnprior, I recently saw your article in the latest Chronicle-Guide (March 12) advertising the new Jade and Lanny Boutique. I want to inform you that the wording you chose to advertise what they offer is extremely offensive. You indicate this new store will carry “women’s and plus size clothing.” Are these plus sized clothes not for women? The wording makes it sound like plus sized women are actually
not feminine enough to fit into the women’s category and, therefore, need their own category. Wording it differently, such as women’s clothing including plus sizes, would have been much more inclusive and less discriminatory sounding towards women who require plus sized clothes. Please consider these words and the categorization effect that may make plus sized women reading this article feel less womanly. Krista Meier Arnprior

Council needs to engage in proper Clay Bank proposal consultation To the Editor: As a ratepayer and resident in McNab-Braeside, I can’t help but wonder why it is that after one council is obliterated from existence because of their autocratic thinking and lack of consideration for public input on issues which impact the public, that the new council is rushing to become lemmings, approaching the edge of that very same cliff. As a resident of McNab-Braeside living close to the so called proposed ‘Clay Bank RV Park’, I am more than a little concerned with this hare brained idea. No, not because it is a change, but because of the way the proposal is being presented. Well-planned change is a good thing, however on this issue where is the plan? What happened to the public consultation piece? What is the overall economic benefit to the township? And for that matter, where is the township’s economic development strategy? What is the rush men and and women on council? Have you completed a satisfactory due-diligence of the project and the developer? (On that point, has anyone done a Google search on Madawaska Shores Developments … surprisingly little information comes up other than an association between Bob Wachna and Bruce Firestone). What is the risk to the township and its residents? I had to laugh at the Bob Wachna’s comment that “he has done some preliminary consultations, talking with folks at Tim Hortons in Arnprior and employees at Antrim Truck Stop and W.O Stinson & Sons.” He said the feedback was all positive. What a shock that they can see huge financial benefits in the arrival of 200 RVs to their doorstep. So this is what passes for consultation? If that’s council’s idea of consultation, we won’t need a new township office; all we need to do is roll up the rim and take a seat at Timmies. Everyone is welcome, council is buying. Oh, did I mention that all the revenue from these Arnprior businesses goes to the Arnprior. Get with it council, you are playing with ratepayers bucks and you had better realize early on in your possibly short tenure that the public is to be respected and heard. Talk is cheap and all of the possibilities of residential development for McNab-Braeside needs
more than a little fluff in the local newspaper. Put some substance with it, get the taxpayer and residents of McNab-Braeside involved. Develop a proper communications plan (not the Chronicle Guide’s Facebook page, Mr. Peckett). If the only communication path or venue for the residents of McNab-Braeside have to openly discuss their concerns with council is through petition, it is a real sad state of affairs. Is this a new form of governance? Governance by petition? If so, what do we need council for. There are no questions accepted from the audience following council meetings, as apparently, this is too time-consuming. We will just have council member’s hang around after the meeting to shoot the bull again. Wow. No objections no concerns that are raised, no broader discussion over what council is planning or initiated will ever be placed on record. No accountability will be had. Peckett’s thinking that a petition needs 1,500 to 2,000 signatures to be valid is a stretch particularly on this issue. This issue impacts the residents living in close proximity to the proposed RV Park (traffic, additional cost for policing of events, noise, environmental issues just to name a few) unlike the wider reach of the library/recreation agreement. I, for one, would like to be able to ask a few questions to a real person or persons associated with this project and council members before any decisions are made. For goodness sakes, let’s have an open and transparent public discussion. Show us your economic development plan, and conduct proper and transparent due-diligence on all proposed major development plans. Stop the bashing of the previous council and using them for scapegoats just to try and make yourselves look good; no they weren’t perfect, but they too had inherited roadblocks when they were first elected. You should be working hard to develop a new conciliatory governance for the township. Council members should understand that every day in office is an unofficial campaign day for reelection. You are not voted in on your successes, but rather voted out on your failures, perceived or otherwise. Mark Gaetz, Sandra Gabler McNab-Braeside
A good luck Friday the 13th story To the Editor: On Friday, Jan. 23, my husband and I were on our way to the Heirloom Café in Almonte for lunch. I had taken my diamond cluster ring off while I applied hand cream and I forgot to put the ring back on my finger. I got out of the car and had
lunch and didn’t miss the ring until the Saturday. I could not go to Almonte until Tuesday, Jan. 27. I took a rake along because it had snowed a little. No luck. On Friday, March 13 I was in Almonte and decided to check again. Looking along the snow bank there was noth-
ing. As I turned to look on the ground behind, I was in disbelief. There was the ring as if someone had just placed it there. The amazing thing, also, is there was no damage. Judy Budau Galetta

Some Owls just don’t give a hoot As spring slowly embraces the land, changes in the natural world are taking place. Flocks of Horned Larks now flit along country roads and European Starlings refine their mimicry of the calls of Killdeers and other birds as they sing from elevated perches. And right now owls are livening the night with their odd music. Many of you are familiar with calls of larger owls. Barred Owls, now the most common owl in Ontario, sing a rhythmic: “Who-cooksfor-you, who-cooks-for-youawwwl.” The slightly larger Great Horned Owl booms a deep: “Whoo-who-whooo, whooo, whoooo.” While Barred Owls can be heard calling at almost any time including late afternoon, Great Horneds particularly enjoy calling near first light. But not all owls have booming voices; our smallest owls don’t even sound like owls, that is if you identify their group as one producing bombastic sounds. The Eastern Screech-Owl, which stands
Michael Runtz Nature’s Way about 10 inches tall, despite its name does not screech. Its calls are difficult to describe, but perhaps the whinnying sound made by a miniature horse might come close. To me, those owls sound like a gargled whistle (try giving a long whistle and then gargle - without water - at the same time). Northern Saw-whet Owls, at about seven inches, are our smallest owls. Their “song” is undoubtedly the easiest bird call to imitate. They utter a series of short whistled notes on the same pitch.
Their name is said to have arisen from these calls, which are not unlike a saw being sharpened (whetted). Recently I have heard of two incidents involving little owls. In Pakenham, an Eastern Screech-Owl was observed looking out through a window of a building on the main street. Apparently the building was vacant and locked up. Only after two days of efforts by concerned local citizens was the owner located and the owl liberated. The other story also involved a window, but unfortunately it did not have a similarly happy ending. An Ottawa woman found a small owl lying beside a dead mouse on the snow outside her window. She sent me a photo and I easily identified her owl as a Northern Saw-whet. It appeared that the owl caught the mouse and then flew into her window, killing itself in the process. Both Eastern ScreechOwls and Northern Saw-whet
owls eat small mammals and large insects such as moths. Both are cavity adopters, which means they nest in precreated holes, such as those excavated by woodpeckers or where branches break off trees and rot ensues. Perhaps the Pakenham Screech-Owl entered the building through a hole near the roof or down a chimney. Either way, it was fortunate that it chose to sit by a window when it was trapped. With warmer weather finally here, both little owls will be becoming quite vocal. Listen for Screech-Owls near small woodlots with older trees; Saw-whets often call from conifers fringing small creeks and ponds. Or you can join the Macnamara Field Naturalists’ Club and come out on my annual Owl Prowl later this month (see mfnc.ca). Apparently it is a real hoot! The Nature Number is 613387-2503; email is mruntz@ start.ca.

All of our small owls, including Northern Saw-whet Owls, nest in tree cavities.

CHARITABLE GIVING WITH LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES - A WIN-WIN FOR BOTH FAMILY AND CHARITIES The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities.
Life insurance is a popular, practical way to make a significant gift to CHEO. Your donation will be wisely administered through investments which will provide a stable source of income to CHEO for years to come. There are three main methods you can gift life insurance: by making a bequest of the proceeds of a life insurance policy through your Will; donating the policy during your lifetime at fair market value; or by naming CHEO as beneficiary and remaining as policy owner.
Here is a scenario where a mother owns purchase a permanent life insurance policy a family business and wishes to gift the for $500,000 and donate the proceeds to shares to her adult children through a charity through her Will. provision in her Will.

the estate value is preserved. In this case, premiums for the life insurance policy are paid with a relatively small percentage of the funds that would otherwise have been used to pay taxes owing. The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities. This should be considered in the bigger context of planned giving options available to donors both during their lifetime and at death.

You will be amazed at how comfortable and natural sounding they are. After a few minutes, you will not even notice that you are wearing them. Never before have hearing aids been this comfortable and easy to adapt to.
Are they visible? With only very thin tubing going into your ears, most people will not notice that you are wearing hearing aids. What they will notice is how well you are hearing.

&DOO 7RGD\ WR EH WKH ÂżUVW WR H[SHULHQFH a whole new level of Hearing!
The Arnprior District Museum recently unveiled its new exhibit to the public called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iroquois Beadwork: Through the Voices of Beadsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The special exhibit, which opened March 3, will be on display until May 15. It is open to the public from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our curator Janet Carlile searched for the travelling exhibit out and ordered it from the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto,â&#x20AC;? said Anita Brown, who is the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administrative assistant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very colourful and we are very fortunate to have it.â&#x20AC;? Browsing the work, people will find explanations to the important symbolism behind the beadwork and why it was created: a hint â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Iroquois wanted to trade with the Europeans. Along with clothing, there are also purses and pin cushions that are dated in the 1800s. The work also includes stories about the Iroquois, like the one focused on stone giants. The exhibit will be fully highlighted over the March break (March 16-20). â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can accommodate up to 15 kids a program,â&#x20AC;? said Brown. One will be featured in the morning for those aged 4-7 and afternoons are for kids 7 and up. The fee is $7 a child. One day will involve making a traditional medicine bag and another day is learning stories of the Iroquois, or an alternative event is finding out why corn husk dolls have no face. MUSEUM HAPPENINGS
While the Iroquois Beadwork exhibit is getting most of the attention now, there is still plenty going on at the museum. While the museum was incorporated in 1964, it pulled off a memorable event for the first time just recently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;About three weekends ago we held a wedding here,â&#x20AC;? said Brown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a civil ceremony. We set up about 20 chairs.â&#x20AC;? The museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first floor is now fully accessible to everybody, but plans are in the works to expand full accessibility to the rest of the building. The second floor contains the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Arnprior Till
Nowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; exhibit, which was designed by Algonquin College graduate students from the museum applied studies program, along with help from volunteers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had volunteers from the high school. This is thanks to Mary Beth Pidgeon and Cheryl Welbanks,â&#x20AC;? said Brown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have 70 overall volunteers, but the museum always welcomes more. People have many different talents and they could actually gain a skill here.â&#x20AC;? The second floor features mementos like uniforms â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Nick Smith Centre was named after Nick Smith, who did time in the Royal Canadian Air Force. There is also a display of the 1860 Prince of Wales visit, the very popular Kenwood blankets, and marble from Arnprior used in the original Parliament buildings, which burned down in 1916. The third floor is currently under renovations, which Brown hopes will be completed in the foreseeable future. The plan is to make it into a postmasterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apartment, because for a stretch of time the building was actually a post office. Those are just a small sampling of the items the museum has for show. The basement has slowly filled into a large storage room â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where much needed volunteer help comes in handy, to organize and put items into a database. The question remains on how much of those items will get to be seen by the public. One future item will not find a spot in storage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Very soon we will be getting a cast of a Gillies Grove tree,â&#x20AC;? said Brown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was featured at the Canada hall of the Museum of Civilization (now Museum of History). It will stretch from floor to ceiling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance to (see) what the attraction was for lumber barons. They used trees like this to make ship masts.â&#x20AC;? The public is always welcome to check out the museum. The location will become a lot more active in the warmer weather. The benefits of volunteer work will show, along with summer student jobs available. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students run the museum in the summer,â&#x20AC;? said Brown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They will be tour guides, and creating programs like we do for March break.â&#x20AC;? Friday the 13th was the final day for summer student applications.

Changes made to farm licence plates • A farm organization membership card; • A Gross Farm Income Exemption Certificate; • A letter from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Appeal Tribunal indicating religious exemption; • A letter from Agricorp with your FBR number; • A letter from the Indian Agriculture Program of Ontario confirming that the producer has met the FBR eligibility requirements. Ontario’s auditor general, in its 2012 annual report on the Drive Clean Program and the 2013 annual report on Service Ontario, noted an increasing number of vehicles with farm
plates and was concerned that no verification is required to obtain farm plates. In both audit reports, the auditor general recommended the Ministry of Transportation review the requirements for obtaining a farm plate, to ensure that no abuse of the system was taking place. As a result, MTO is implementing new requirements for issuing or attaching farm plates to a commercial vehicle. This will ensure that only qualified farmers obtain farm plates and receive the benefits associated with having a farm plate. For more information, visit ontario.ca/ serviceontario or call 1-800-387-3445.

Vehicle owners wishing to buy or attach farm plates to a new commercial vehicle weighing over 3,000 kilograms now need to provide documentation to demonstrate that they have a farm business. Only clients purchasing or attaching new farm plates to a vehicle are required to show proof of farm business as of Jan. 1. The new requirements will not affect any current farm plate owners who are renewing their farm plates. A Farm Business Registration (FBR) number is proof that you run a farm business. Any one of the following documents will prove that you have an FBR:

Federal Liberals seek policy input from riding residents Staff
The federal Liberals want to know what’s important to the local riding’s residents. As a part of its policy outreach, the policy committee of the Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke federal Liberal riding association has designed a five-minute survey for Renfrew County residents. The new survey keys in on several issues currently hot topics in federal politics, including help for low- and middle-income families, improving the health and child care systems, increasing the availability of affordable housing, and opening up government through in-
creased transparency measures. A video from the survey depicts Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau referencing his #RealPriorities, that promises the Liberals will be “a government that works to be a positive force in Canadian politics and that fights in the best interests of all Canadians.” The final sections of the survey focus on what exactly the citizens of Renfrew County would like to see as a priority of the next government. Whether people believe that the most important actions would involve enhancements to the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Quebec Pension Plan (QPP-RRQ) or increasing funding for highways, the questions allow residents

to provide their views and ideas “to strengthen life in Canada.” “The main aim of this survey is to gauge public opinion on these important issues so that we can best align our policies with those that are most significant to all Canadians and specifically to those in Renfrew County,” said the riding association’s policy chair Oliver Jacob.

New strategy maps high-speed Internet improvements The Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN) has released its longterm digital strategy that it says “provides a road map for Eastern Ontario to become a leader in using rural broadband access to help create strong, sustainable communities.” The strategy was presented by EORN at a meeting of provincial ministers during the Good Roads Conference in Toronto. EORN was first created by the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (EOWC) to build a $170-million rural broadband network, which was completed last fall with the support of the federal, provincial and municipal governments
and the investment of private sector partners. The network, which is scalable to meet growing needs, serves more than one million people across 50,000 square kilometres of rural Eastern Ontario including Renfrew County. “The Digital Strategy aims to build on our success, by making sure that the network keeps pace with changing demands,” said EORN chair David Burton. “Through continued advocacy and partnership, EORN will support communities in using the network to its fullest potential.” EORN’s Digital Strategy focuses on expanding access and empowering

residents, businesses and organizations to use high-speed Internet services. Current priorities include: • Using EORN’s 5,500-kilometre fibre optic backbone to improve mobile broadband access and cell service; • Leveraging the network for regional economic development activities; • Using the network to improve municipal and other public services. “We are pleased that more than 99 per cent of residents and businesses can access high-speed Internet as a result of the project. It is an important first step,” said EOWC chair Eric Duncan. The full strategy is available at www.eorn.ca under ‘Resources’.

4 DOS AND DON’TS OF HOME STAGING
The only thing worse than not staging your home for sale at all is to spend your time and money doing the work only to have buyers react badly to it. Here are a few common dos and don’ts for staging.
DON’T CREATE DISTRACTING THEME OR DÉCOR Again, focus on your home, not your things. Think neutral, neutral, neutral.
DO KEEP yOUR HOME CLEAN AND CLUTTER FREE You want people to focus on your house, not your things. DO KEEP THINGS CONSISTENT You want your home’s storey to be that it looked well put together and comfortable, not that is has one or two spaces that left a bad impression.
3 Beds
Only $1,000 down R0013185319
DON’T USE BEAT UP OR UGLy FURNISHINGS Great staging, either DIY or by a professional, includes choosing furniture that shows the room in the best light. And you don’t need to buy a new to upgrade - a few hundre dollars on Craigslist can be money well spent.

Blood donors save lives at clinic
SCOTT CAMPBELL/METROLAND
JoAnne McLean of Arnprior gives blood at the March 11 Arnprior blood donor clinic at the Nick Smith Centre. Having O negative blood makes her a highly valued donor.
Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
The Nick Smith Centre was busy on March 11, but there were no hockey games that day. The blood donor clinic was being held in the Community Hall. As usual the Arnprior clinic was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Arnprior and put on by the Canadian Blood Services. Charge nurse Wendy Tucker reported there were 161 people scheduled to give and clinic organizers were hoping to collect 115 units of blood. JoAnne McLean of Arnprior had just completed her donation, moments before the photo was taken, which only took an hour from the time she stepped through the door. McLean said she has given about 20 times and tends to be called if she can give because her blood is special as it is the universal donor blood of O negative. She doesn’t mind doing it because just a little bit of her time can save any life as her blood can be given to anybody. According to Tucker, the clinic will return two months from now (May 13) – 56 days is the minimum before they can collect blood from people again.

Rally protests nursing cuts at hospitals Staff at the Almonte General Hospital rallied at noon Monday to protest cuts to registered practical nursing staff at the facility. In a news release, the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) charged that six full-time and three part-time registered practical nurse positions are being eliminated at the hospital and replaced with personal support workers. Registered practical nurses complete a two-year community college program. They are fully trained nurses and, among many other skills, can do physical assessment, wound care, manage IV as well as dispense medications, points out CUPE. “Across Ontario, hospitals are aggressively cutting services in the face of a five-year funding freeze imposed by the provincial government,” charges CUPE in its release release. “Our rally calls on the hospital to reconsider its decision,” said Linda Melbrew, president of CUPE Local 3022, which represents staff at the hospital. “The rally also asks the provincial government to fund hospitals like Almonte General properly, so that they are not driven to decisions like cutting nurses to balance their budgets.”

Knightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; situation grave in lopsided euchre challenge Yet again the Knights tripped over their proverbial swords and stabbed themselves in the latest in the Arnprior Legion-Knights of Columbus euchre challenge series.
This time on March 13 the Knights lost by only 11 games. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lights out for the Knights, as the Legion is now ahead by 109 games with one evening of play left. Rumour has it to stop the bleeding the Knights called the Ottawa Senators to borrow the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Hamburgularâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, who apparently is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Catholicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and free for the last challenge on March 27 at the St. John Chrysostom Parish Hall. The Knights continue to rack up â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;skunksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with Jeff \Christine Blimkie and Dave Schefter\Mike Glofcheskie adding their names to the long list of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mouffettesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Legion leaders, Jo Camelon\Arlie Smith took one skunk on the chin as well, as did Marilyn Dalgleish\Pixie McComb. The Legion team of Howie Robbins\Brian White took no prisoners with a 9-0 record. The local gravediggers have been summoned for Saturday to complete the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ceremony of Burying the Knightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Players are reminded that the last challenge is Friday, March 27 with registration at 5:30 p.m. at the parish hall.

Family history group to focus on all things Scottish March 23
PETER CLARK/METROLAND
A church fundraiser to Dai for Dai Bassett hosted Spring Is Almost Here, a musical concert at Burnstown United Church Saturday afternoon, Feb. 28. The fundraising event also featured a guest performance by Harko Wassing. Light refreshments were served. Proceeds from the freewill offering go to the Burnstown church.
The current television show Who Do You Think You Are chronicles the journey of various celebrities as they uncover their ancestry. Their stories are neatly summarized into an hour-long episode. It makes for great viewing and sparks interest in wondering about ones own roots. In reality the journey to exploring family roots can very time consuming. Determining where to begin a family search can be quite daunting for the average person without access to the historians and genealogical experts that support this television show. Enter Patrick’s Family History Group, named in recognition of Patrick Wohler (1939-2009), a volunteer at the Arnprior and McNab-Braeside Archives (AMBA). Wohler wrote regular columns on genealogy originally printed in the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide and other newspapers in the Ottawa Region Media Group. His contributions are on the AMBA website http://www.adarchives.org/PFHG.htm. As part of a strategic planning exercise by the AMBA in 2013, its first priority was to establish a local family history group. The goal was to create a group of active members dedicated to learning, sharing and contributing in the knowledge, practice and publication of family history research. All family research is supported. It doesn’t ecessarily have to be families with roots in Arnprior. What has Patrick’s Family History Group been up to in its first year? A lending library was set up with donated books and magazines. Group members shared some of their genealogical successes and challenges as well as useful research tips
and tools. The group held a tour of the Arnprior cemetery guided by an expert in Arnprior marble. Genealogical society representatives from Lanark, Renfrew and Pembroke enlightened members on their special holdings. Members learned the ins and outs of using two genealogical research websites, Ancestry and Church of Latter Day Saints. The complexity of DNA research was outlined by an expert from the British Isles Family History Society of Greater Ottawa. Members also learned how a local author weaves genealogy and historical context into her story writing. What’s in store for the remainder of 2015? An Introduction to Genealogy workshop will be offered soon, so stay tuned for an announcement CAMPBELL TO SPEAK
At the next meeting Monday, March 23, the focus will be all things Scottish. The guest speaker will be Mary Campbell with ‘It’s all in the Land’, sorting folks out using Scotland’s Ordinance maps, and Roger Thomas of the Huntley Township Historical Society with ‘Life in Scotland in the early to mid-1800’s’.

Enjoy the foods of Medieval Ireland at luncheon Sunday
Rose Ann MacLaren
Last week we introduced you to the kind of food that would be eaten by the poorer class of people in Medieval Ireland. Now it is time to get your pallets salivating by thinking about the delicious food you will get to enjoy at an Irish luncheon this Sunday, March 22 at St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Renfrew. Let’s start by remembering how delicious
the Scottish style food was at St. Paul’s Burns luncheon. Ireland’s peasant class like the Scottish peasant class had learned to use the common locally and easily grown foods and herbs to make even the most meager foods fit for a ‘king’. Your taste buds will be stimulated with a traditional Celtic creation of Coq a Leekie soup. While it is called Scotland’s national soup, it probably originated as a chicken and onion R0013183378

soup in France. By the 16th century, it had made its way to Scotland, where the onions were replaced with leeks. The first recipe was printed in 1598, though the name ‘cock-a-leekie’ did not come into use until the 18th century. This traditional soup became a favourite of most Celtic nations and has become a favourite around the world. During Medieval times items such as potatoes, cabbage and leeks were common in Ireland, so naturally many variations of these items were everyday food for the poorer class of people. Champ is a recipe from Belfast, combining some of the available foods mentioned above. However, it has a secret ingredient in it that makes it like no other combination. This is a simple and inexpensive dish to be enjoyed by all. However, in the past in Northern Ireland, champ was not considered to be suitable for a banquet, such as a wedding feast. Colcannon is a traditional Iish dish mainly consisting of mashed potatoes with kale or cabbage. At one time it was a cheap, year-round staple food, though nowadays it is usually eaten in autumn/winter, when kale comes into season. Irish immigrants brought this dish to North America with them from Southern Ireland. This staple dish even has a song named after it. The song is called simply Calcannon, but may be better known as the Skillet Pot. Soda bread is one of Northern Ireland’s

unique griddle breads, or cooked until golden in an Ulster fry. This tasty bread comes in many variations, and is eaten with butter and homemade jam, or with savoury food. Soda bread can be a soft, thick and fluffy bread first baked in the 1800s in Ireland. Local people used baking to cause the dough to rise. It’s typically served with an Ulster fry, stews and soups but not commonly eaten alone. Irish beans are essentially baked beans with a secret ingredient. Both Irish baked beans and North American baked beans contain a tomato sauce element. However, Irish beans are usually less sweet due to the lack of brown sugar included in most North American baked beans. Come out and give our special beans a try. The lowly bean is raised up to something spectacular with our special Irish twist. What is coleslaw but cabbage and mayonnaise, maybe carrot and onion, sometimes other veg and fruit. The basic ingredients going into the bowl aren’t what’s in dispute, it’s what happens when you mix it all together. In Ireland the lovely little coleslaw fairy spins her magic to make it a special treat. These short little samples will hopefully get your mouth salivating to try this traditional food. All of this and more will be available at St. Paul’s Anglican Church Sunday. Join us for the service and stay for the luncheon or just come at 12:30 p.m. for traditional Irish food.

Two Arnprior District High School brothers qualiďŹ ed for the OFSSA wrestling match, placing ďŹ rst in their categories at the EOSSAA last month. Liam and Darren Mayhew both took the gold in Kingston in their weight categories. The two brothers, along with three other ADHS students, participated in the qualifying rounds for OFSSA. Grade 10 student Liam was the ďŹ rst to wrestle after having a bye in the ďŹ rst round. Liam pinned his opponent in the ďŹ rst 30 seconds of the match, putting Liam into the ďŹ nals against another wrestler from Kingston. At the end of the ďŹ rst round Liam was winning 6-2, and at the end of the second round Liam took his opponent 12-5, giving him the gold and qualifying him for OFSAA. It was LiamĘźs second time to qualify for OFSAA. Darren, a ďŹ fth-year student, also had a bye his ďŹ rst match, having placed ďŹ rst last year at EOSSAA. His ďŹ rst match was against a wrestler from Renfrew and Darren won this match by a pin in the ďŹ rst round. Darren then moved onto the

Near the end of the ďŹ rst round, Darren pinned his opponent to give him the gold. This enable him to compete for a fourth and ďŹ nal time at OFSAA. Gavin Toole, a Grade 9 student, qualiďŹ ed as he was the only one in Eastern Ontario in his weight. Gavin did have an
exhibition match with someone a little heavier just to get some practice in. Jonah Pelkey, Grade 10, was winning his ďŹ rst match 10-1 but was thrown during his match and hit his head which resulted in him not being able to complete the day. Jonah is better now and we hope to see him back out next year with the team. Cole Herbert, in Grade 10, lost his ďŹ rst and third matches but won his second match, which
gave him a third place ďŹ nish and he was able to challenge the second place winner for the chance to qualify. Cole won this match and was the fourth qualiďŹ er for Arnprior. After a long day of wrestling many of the members of the team were able to come back to help with the spaghetti dinner fundraiser at the Fitzroy winter carnival. They thank everyone who came out to the dinner.

Zadow’s readers get Sens-ational visitor
March 20-21-22
Spartacat loves to read, even when the book is upside down. That’s why, when he had heard Lisa Blokland’s Grade 2-3 class at Walter Zadow was reading lots of books lately, he decided to pay a surprise visit. At one point the Ottawa Senators mascot tried to bite the head off a student. At another the students had to tell him to turn a book right side up. At yet another moment he almost made off with the cake they baked for their Sens day. There were many cat tales to tell on the morning of March 13.

After surviving the challenge of a drawn-out seven-game series with the Arnprior Packers, the Stittsville Rams didn’t waste any time with the regular season Valley champs, the Renfrew Timberwolves. The Eastern Ontario Junior B hockey team swept the Timberwolves in four straight games in the Valley final. Former Packers goalie, Matt Couvrette continued to shine for the Rams, stopping 39 shots in the series clincher March 11. The final score was 6-3 to give Stittsville the series 4-0. Renfrew kept the pace high in the first period scoring three goals to Sttitsville’s two, but the rest of the game the Wolves were held off the board. Blair Barr, Tanner Smith and Andrew Ryan were the goal scorers for Renfrew. Cole Carter, Matt Allan,
Chris Galea, Connor Cobbold and Jordan Boutillier scored for Stittsville. Stittsville will play the Gatineau Mustangs in the Valley/Metro final. The Mustangs defeated the regular season Metro champions Ottawa West Golden Knights in six games. No schedule has been set up at press deadline. PACKERS NEWS
The Arnprior Packers have set their date for their annual banquet and dinner. It will be held April 11 at the Arnprior Curling Club.

Packers close in on juvenile Earn Extra Money! Keep Your Weekends Free! championship this week The Senators started the second period with renewed energy and the fast-paced action continued. The frantic work in the corners resulted in multiple penalties for both teams. But the goalies stopped all power-play goal opportunities, pulling off some impossible saves at close quarters. Osgoode’s Hayden Granville scored with only 22 seconds left in the second to make it 3-2. The Packers switched to a defensive mode in the third period, while the Senators could smell their next goal coming. Most of the play was in the Packers end with the Senators aggressively taking shot after shot. The Packers defense looked tired, but goaltender Mike Cheslock played magnificently, stopping everything the Senators could shoot. Everyone was holding their breath while the clock ticked down the final few minutes. The buzzer went to end the game and you could hear the crowd cheering the Packers win. Game two of the juvenile final is in Osgoode Tuesday night (after press deadline) and the third game, if required, will be played at the Nick Smith Centre this Saturday, March 21 at 8 p.m.
The Arnprior Juvenile Packers edged the Osgoode Rideau Senators 3-2 in the first game of their championship series Saturday. Both teams were on fast forward right from the initial puck drop. The end-to-end action continued until Packer Chad Brennan scored the first goal at the 6:18 mark of the first period. The assists went to brothers Mitch and Mat Crozier. Less than three minutes later, Brennan was in the perfect spot to intercept an Osgoode pass as he charged into the Osgoode zone. His wrist shot beat the Osgoode goalie for an unassisted goal at 9:07 of the first period. With a score 2-0, the Packers kept attacking. Brady Rampton passed from the blue line to Mat Crozier at the top of the circle. With one hand on the stick, Crozier spun 180 degrees and shovelled the puck right to Brennan, whose shot caught the top corner of the goal. That gave Brennan a hat trick in the first period. However, the Senators are a team that never lets up. They kept charging the Packers end until their hard work paid off when Zach Pelletier scored with 1.04 seconds remaining in the first.

Country Kitchen specializes in meals without preservatives â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Nothing you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pronounce goes into my foodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; John Carter
John.carter@metroland.com
Sandee Rosien makes a habit of turning challenges into opportunities. Rosien, well-known in the Arnprior area as a real estate agent, has turned her efforts to cooking and now runs Sandeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Country Kitchen out of her Arnprior home. Her interest in creating meals from scratch without preservatives sprung from her allergic reaction to additives in foods. When foot surgery put her on crutches for several months a couple of years ago, making it difficult for her to show homes, she began cooking in earnest, testing out her recipes on friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I use no preservatives, period,â&#x20AC;? she stresses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pronounce goes into my food.â&#x20AC;? Now that she and her husband, Michael Wurm, have built a commercial kitchen in her home, she has turned to cooking and catering full time. Since she began in earnest in August, her business is slowly increasing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am living my dream. I absolutely love it,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harder work than I ever imagined, especially the catering, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very satisfying.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Next to having grandchildren, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best feeling in the world.â&#x20AC;? Rosien grew up in the Braeside area and graduated from Arnprior District High School. Her parents ran the Elvalex ladies wear store in Braeside. When her mother decided to sell her home, the 20-year-old Rosien realized the family was completely unprepared. So she learned everything she could about the real estate business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It got me wanting to be a realtor to help people,â&#x20AC;? she said. So she earned her real estate license, which provided her an income on and off for close to 30 years while raising a family. However, in cooking sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s found a new love. It helps that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so good at it. Friends have been urging her to do more cooking for years. She credits her mother and aunt, both excellent cooks, for teaching her the basics. But it was her reaction to food additives that really got her researching the topic and involved in food preparation, first her own, then others. She says most people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize just how many supplements are in almost all processed food, both that in the grocery stores and restaurant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We take pride in creating great

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 canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. Ian Harris of Arnprior is a registered nutritional therapist, certified food psychology coach, certified wellness coach and personal chef.

Health is wealth! You are what you eat! Garbage in garbage out! You probably heard them all. So whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. Do not use food as a punishment or reward! Do not find an excuse to eat. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling down or just plain stressed, eating may temporarily make you feel better until the guilt sets in and the high wears off. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling down, try exercise to brighten your mood. On the other hand
there is no reason why we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reward ourselves when we receive a pay raise or when celebrating a birthday. Just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use those situations as an excuse to over-indulge. 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. Serve healthy snacks such as a handful of almonds and raisins or air popped popcorn (no butter or salt) or sliced vegetables and fruit. Go vegetarian! Once a week enjoy a vegan meal like salad and quinoa. Quinoa, known as a super grain, is the only grain that is a complete protein just like meat, poultry and fish. Quinoa is a great choice for vegetarians concerned about their protein consumption. Let your children get involved! Teach them to â&#x20AC;&#x153;eat the rainbow.â&#x20AC;? Keep a chart on the fridge so they can record each color of fruit or vegetable they have each day.
Nutrition month good time to start eating healthier During March, which is Nutrition Month, Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home is happy to provide valuable information on healthy eating for older adults as provided by the Canada Health Guide. How is your appetite? If you live alone, sitting down to eat a meal by yourself can be hard. You may not feel like making a meal for just yourself, food may not interest you, or it may not taste as good. Here are some ideas to help increase your appetite:
â&#x20AC;˘ choose a comfortable place to eat; â&#x20AC;˘ exercise or take a walk before meals; â&#x20AC;˘ add flavor to your food by adding herbs and spices; â&#x20AC;˘ eat meals with family and friends, if possible; â&#x20AC;˘ try a new recipe; â&#x20AC;˘ join a cooking club. If there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one, why not make one with your friends; â&#x20AC;˘ ask your health care provider if your medications are causing appetite or taste problems. Oops! I forget to eat breakfast!
Skipping a meal, especially breakfast, will make it hard to get all the nutrients you need each day. Eat at regular times every day. Plan your meals and snacks ahead of time. HEALTHY SNACKS
If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like cooking, replace a meal with two or three easy snacks. Meals donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be complex or require cooking. Have toast with peanut better, fruit and a glass of milk. Aim for at
least three food groups for your meals. Pack healthy snacks to take with you when you are away from home. Available, through ArnpriorBraeside-McNab Seniors at Home are frozen meals and hot meals as delivered through the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hot Meals on Wheelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; program. For information on these two programs, that may assist in your meal planning, you are invited to contact program coordinator Jennifer Stratton at 613-623-7981 or by email at jeeniferstratton@cssagencyh.ca.

Findlay Oval meant so much during the Depression years It had darkened early that mid-winter day, with the sun dipping below the west hill just as we were finishing our supper. Audrey lit two coal-oil lamps, putting one in the middle of the kitchen table, and the other on the washstand that served as a place for our winter mitts, scarves and extra socks. My three brothers did the usual chores that had to be done every night after supper. Everett filled the wood box, stacking it high from the wood piled in the summer kitchen. Emerson gathered up the few scraps from the table and fed Sport, who was eagerly waiting at the back door, well aware of what was coming his way. Earl got down on his hands and knees, and pulled the big white granite basin out from under the icebox and emptied the water into the reservoir of the Findlay Oval.

the red and white checkered oilcloth, making sure it was spotlessly clean, and ready for what would be a couple hours of pastimes that kept us busy until it was time to climb the stairs for bed. It was my favourite time of day. It would be a couple hours before we would go upstairs, and the time would be spent sitting around the kitchen table, each of us doing what we liked to do best when the day was done. Mother at one end with her diaries and scrapbooks spread out before her, and the rest of us amusing ourselves in any way we wished. That night I sat on the bench under the window that
looked out onto the grape arbour. I could feel a draft, and so I had taken a blanket that was always folded at the end of the creton couch and wrapped it around my shoulders. Like everyone else, my feet were tucked into handmade felt slippers. And I could feel the most delicious warmth and contentment as I looked around that old kitchen ... everything so familiar and so much a part of our everyday lives. Father had moved to the rocking chair in front of the Findlay Oval, and his feet were up on the cushion on the opened oven door. His papers were around him, and his pipe hung loosely in his mouth. That night I was contented just to sit. The colouring picture from the Ottawa Farm Journal was in front of me, and so were my crayons, but I had lost interest. My attention was on the Findlay Oval, and it was as if I was looking at it for the first time in my life. I mentally counted all the uses

Saturday night bath. Always, and that night it was no different, Father had put blocks of wood around each side of the stove, and our galoshes and rubber boots were propped against the wood to dry out overnight. And I knew that when I put on my galoshes in the morning to go to school, my feet would feel that delicious heat long after I had left the house for the three-and-a-half-mile walk to the Northcote School. In the winter time, when Mother would bring in the freshly washed laundry from the clothesline, stiff as boards and frozen solid, a wood clothes rack Father had made would be folded out before the Findlay Oval, and that night, even though it wasnʼt a wash day, I felt I could smell the sweetness of those frozen clothes that seemed to go right through the house as the clothes dried from the heat of the stove. And, of course, it provided us with the only warmth we would have, with its pipes snaking through the kitchen and poking through the floor upstairs. That night how I wished I could write so that I could put down on paper all that the Findlay Oval meant to us during those Depression years. It would take me forever to print the words. I guessed I would just have to rely on my memory.

we had from the stove, and I wished longingly that I knew how to write, so that I could put down on paper what the old stove meant to us out there in Northcote. Of course, there was the reservoir at one end. It supplied us with all the hot water we used in the house; our Saturday night baths, the Monday washings, scrub water, and the water we had just used to wash up the dishes. And it was where, when we had a stuffed-up nose, or Mother thought we were getting a cold, we sat close, on a chair, with our heads under a sheet, breathing in the steam from the reservoir. It was the Findlay Oval that made our toast in the mornings. The tin toaster sat over the front burner that had been removed, and four slices could be toasted at one time. And it was that same burner that Mother lifted to singe the chickens before they were stuffed and put in the oven for our Sunday supper, and that night I thought of the popcorn that was so often a treat on a cold winterʼs night and made on the Findlay Oval. All along the very top of the stove was the warming closet. It was seldom used for food, because as soon as a meal was cooked, we were more than ready to sit around the old pine table and dig into it. But it was a wonderful place to dry wet mitts, or heat a towel to wrap around a wet body after our

Summer camp time is just around the corner.

Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, March 19, 2015 43
Five more reasons by every child should attend summer camp Matt Barr
Camps Canada
Camp is a place where positive memories are made that last a lifetime If adults that have attended summer camps as children are asked what their fondest childhood memories are, it is often found that they recollect and share their camp memories. Camp memories are created every year because of the great experiences shared by campers while at camp but more importantly because of the other campers and staff who share
those experiences together with them. Long after campers “graduate” from the camp experience, after they say that last goodbye on the last day of their last year at camp, they fondly recall the cabin-mates and counsellors that provided them with the activities they experienced every summer. In this age of hockey practices, piano lessons, MCAT preps, computer courses, and math tutors, all of which can be important features in a child’s development, camp offers the venue to learn the “bigger” skills – the
ones that can’t be learned in any classroom. Ask yourself if you feel that taking turns is a skill. How about being nice to people around you. What would you say about working as a team – is that a skill? Camp is a place where these skills and so many more are “practiced” so regularly but in a way in which campers don’t even realize this is happening. The camp environment, free from the regimented systems of many other learning environments, is a place where children learn, but in a way that is com-
fortable and meaningful, and whose lessons are arguably the most important a child will be taught in their entire life. Although no formal study has been done, there is an oft used statistic kicked around by camp directors these days. Many of us have observed that many of the weddings we are being invited to are between campers that attended our camps decades prior and that the frequency of divorces in these marriages are staggeringly low. Now this can be a very unnerving thought for first time
camp parents sending their little six year old off to day camp for the first time but it does illustrate a very important point: it appears that as a result of the depth of experience of attending summer camp, the relationships formed there are stronger and more meaningful than most others formed in a child’s lifespan. This is not to say that parents should send their children to camp in hopes of them finding a spouse! However, when children play together, laugh together, are challenged together, sing together, and live together,
Summer is a busy time of year for Ontario Parks.
what ends up happening is that they grow together and with that grow closer to one another learning the values of friendship and community in a way that cannot be duplicated in other summer settings. Ontario is beautiful country and nothing inspires its discovery more than the camp experience. Whether campers are hiking through forested hills, swimming in freshwater lakes, gazing at the setting sun, playing in open fields, or meeting its friendly wildlife, camp’s everyday activities often give rise for a love of this land.

Ontario Parks suggests summer campers book now
44 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide - Thursday, March 19, 2015
Ontario Parks is suggesting campers take advantage of its five month booking window and book their summer camping vacations now. Over 12,000 park campsites were booked by the end of January. Numbers continue to rise steadily with over 35,000 reservations processed at the time of this update. According to park officials, campgrounds at popular provincial parks like Sandbanks, Killbear and Pinery fill up quickly for summer holiday weekends. Staff offer suggestions for getting a campsite in popular parks or for alternate locations with availability in this Park Blog post, http://www. parkreports.com/parksblog/?p=3265. To book an Ontario Parks campsite, visit reservations at ontarioparks.com. PDF copies of the new Parks Guide can be downloaded from the web site. More park information sources are included below:
Campers often use the Park Locator tool on the Ontario Parks web site for trip planning. It searches parks by facilities, services and activities and can pinpoint parks close to urban centres or parks with equipment rentals or backcountry experiences. http://www.ontarioparks.com/park-locator. Ontario Parks’ social media sites are excellent sources for trip planning too. Park photos, including many of lesser-known parks, are on Pinterest at http://www.pinterest.com/ ontarioparks/. Roofed accommodation photos are at http://www.pinterest.com/ontarioparks/ roofed-accommodations/ and Ontario Parks’ official Facebook and Twitter sites provide the latest news. https://www.facebook.com/ontarioparks and https://twitter.com/ontarioparks. New videos will be posted regularly on the Ontario Parks youtube channel www.youtube. com/theOntarioParks.
Well-run summer camp can foster positive social, emotional development Venta Preparatory School
As a clinical child psychologist and an educator, it has long been our belief that the traditional 10-month school year – September to June – makes no sense for today’s children. The schedule was established when children were needed to help on the family farm and bring in the harvest during the summer months. By the mid-20th century our society had become primarily urban and two months of school vacation meant just one thing: eight weeks of unscheduled ‘free time’. For this reason summer camps emerged as a popular way to keep children entertained and busy during the school holidays. However, the benefits of a well-run summer camp are much more far reaching. If the program is well planned and structured , the activities can be fun for the children but also build skills and foster positive social and emotional growth, learning, and adventure. Being exposed to new experiences and encouraged by friendly and sympathetic adults to try new things helps the child build selfconfidence. True self-esteem comes from doing something new and difficult and succeeding. Interacting with others in a well run summer camp gives children a chance to learn respect for others, teamwork, kindness, and honesty and they have fun while they learn. Skills learned at camp are then transferred to the classroom during the regular academic year. Attendance at a summer camp teaches children to work together more cooperatively, to resolve conflicts more effectively, to assume greater responsibility, and to become more self-reliant and self-confident.
We are convinced that it is critical for children to be involved in structured activities during the summer months. A well-run camp program provides the child with learning experiences that are not possible in a traditional classroom. Summer camp is one of the few places where children can experience and satisfy their need for physical activity, creative expression, and true participation in a safe environment. While at camp children learn about living, working, and playing together and making positive contributions to their community. They acquire first hand multi-sensory knowledge of the natural world. Going to camp gives the child much more than a vacation. Living, playing and sharing adventures together help the child develop into a healthy, physically fit and productive adult. At camp, children gain self-confidence and self-esteem, and learn social skills of positive interaction that stay with them for a lifetime and spill over into other parts of their lives. The new skills they have mastered and the social and emotional growth they have experienced help them become more successful in school and in other activities. In our technological society which encourages passive forms of entertainment rather than active involvement, summer camp provides a unique opportunity for children to experience a different way to play. Participation in outdoor activities builds healthy bodies but also healthy minds. Submitted by 5 Star Camps Agatha E. Sidlauskas, Ph.D, is a Registered Psychologist in the Province of Ontario and Founder of Venta Preparatory School. Marilyn Mansfield, M.Ed. is Principal of Venta Preparatory School

Neat shows ‘not threatened’ by loan appeal
The quirky folk band, the Grand Slambovians, will play the Neat Café this Saturday March 21 at 8 p.m. It is one of several well-known acts booked to play the Burnstown venue this spring. Included are Ashley MacIsaac April 4, the Leahys April 18, April Verch Band May 1 and Buffy Ste. Marie May 9. Although Neat Café owner Adam McKinty made news last week by putting out an appeal on social media for patrons to loan money to the business , he has stressed that the “booked shows we have are not at risk here and we continue to book shows.” The call for investment into the business is an effort to consolidate its debt and ensure it can continue to “reliably take care of the artists, employees and suppliers,” McKinty explained. More details are available on the Neat Café’s Facebook page.

To all our family, friends, coworkers, and community; Your expressions of sympathy, charity donations, flowers, food, gifts, babysitting our grandchildren, and visits, are so appreciated. The caring and understanding of Andre Pilon, Debbie Pierce, and staff of Pilon Family Funeral Services, were excellent. Bert’s sisters, cousins, and friends provided a delicious “wake” supper for us. Father Michael Ruddick, St. Michael’s, Fitzroy Harbour, and Father John Burchat provided a beautiful and comforting Funeral Mass. The Knights of Columbus and Catholic Women’s League, Arnprior, provided prayers of faith and solace, for our family at Bert’s wake. Our nephews; Steve Wilson, Darrell Dillon, Raymond Valiquette, Russell Gibson, Matthew Schooley, and Shawn Smith, brought pride and honour to “Uncle Bert”, when they served as his pallbearers. Our supportive and caring Galetta Community Association provided the recreation hall and a delicious lunch for his funeral reception. Bert’s journey with cancer involved excellent health care from: Dr. John Kiskis, staff of Arnprior and District Hospital, Dr. Donna Maziak, Dr. Rachel Goodwin, Dr. K. Dennis, chemo staff at Renfrew Hospital and Paramed Home Care nurse “TASMA”. When we lost Bert, the warmth and understanding of our families and community were the most respectful acknowledgement of the value of his lifetime. Thank you for taking the time to “chat” with him, in the Mall, at Tim Hortons, at his truck, or at the fence at home in Galetta. This was his “favourite” pastime.
