News - A proud Arnprior is welcoming home their Paralympic hero. And while he’s not bringing home a medal, an impressive seventh-place finish and “superb� representation of his hometown and country (see Page 3), make him a true winner in the eyes of his family, friends, supporters and fans. Leslie, who arrived back in Canada Monday from the Paralympic Games in Sochi, Russia, will be honoured at two separate events this weekend. On Friday, March 21, Leslie will be at the John Street Pub for a fundraiser in his honour beginning at 9 p.m. Proceeds from the $5 cover charge will go to the athlete and live enter-
tainment will be provided by the Dan Deslauriers Blues Trio. On Saturday, March 22, a homecoming reception and dinner will be held at Jim’s Restaurant at 4:30 p.m. Tickets, $20, are available at Jim’s, both Arnprior Subway locations, Home Hardware and from Stephen Dodd and Penny Flowers. The Jim’s event is being organized by the committee that spearheaded the Feb. 16 John Leslie Day in Arnprior, a fundraising extravaganza that well exceeded the group’s goals. The local admiration for the 21-year-old athlete is obvious and well-deserved. “He’s such a great role model for young people,� said committee member Sylvia Murdoch. On behalf of the committee, she thanked all those who supported fundraising efforts.

Reid to sit on OPP committee
Minister hears four-laning pleas
News – Arnprior Mayor David Reid has been named to a committee looking into policing costs in the province. In a town news release last week, it was announced that Reid has been selected by the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) board of directors to sit on its OPP billing steering committee to help “represent the diversity of municipal opinions and interests across the province of those which use and pay for the services of the OPP.� The board has directed that “representatives come from all corners of the province, with careful consideration to the diversity of interest, circumstances, and knowledge and experience related to policing� costs and models. Reid will sit on the committee with 15 other high profile municipal leaders. “Mayor Reid has been working tirelessly on the issue of OPP cost control and billing fairness on behalf of the residents of Arnprior since he assumed Ontario Transportation Minister Glen Murray tries on his office,� commented the town’s Deputy Mayor Dan Lynch.
News- The lobbying to have Highway 17 four-laned right up the Upper Ottawa Valley continued in Arnprior last week. A group of Arnprior and Renfrew County representatives met with Ontario Transportation Minister Glen Murray March 13 at Arnprior town hall (see story Page 25), then took him for a tour of the work progressing on the four-laning between Campbell and Scheel drives. Murray agreed the project is important for economic development in Renfrew County, but said the provincial Opposition parties and the federal government need to get on board if the highway twinning is to be accelerated as the county is asking. Murray congratulated both the county and the town for its recent economic development initiatives and received a gift basket with a coat and other newly-minted town promotional materials. A county delegation led by Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack had raised the importance of the highway four-laning with local MP Cheryl Gallant the week before (see Page 5).

This means a lot for the future of the sport. “It’s a place for us to start, to continue to grow and excel, and we have expectations of excellence,� added Heise. “We intend to be on the podium in a very prominent way in 2018.� “Our Canadian athletes stepped it up,� added head coach Candice Drouin. “We trained really hard all winter and I could not be happier with the results. Sure, a
podium is always nice but I’m super happy with the way they all performed. It’s a step in the right direction for the future and we’ll take this and build on it for the next few years to come.â€? The U.S.’s Evan Strong, Mike Shea and Keith Gabel claimed all three medals in the men’s competition. Strong took gold with a combined effort of 1:43.61, with Shea one second behind (1:44.18) and Gabel’s combined time of 1:47.10.

Invacare Canada, an official sponsor of the Canadian Paralympic team, tasked Paralympic swimmer and medalist Stephanie Dixon with the challenge of catching up with Arnprior’s John Leslie in Sochi. Dixon and Leslie show their support for his hometown, above.
“Mayor Reid has participated in a number of other organized efforts, including the OPP Discussion Group, to bring fairness to OPP billing and we can certainly understand why the Association of Municipalities of Ontario board of directors has selected David for this very important role.� added Lynch. Locally Reid and his council colleagues have worked with the OPP to bring down policing costs for Arnprior taxpayers. As a result of council adopting a regional OPP policing model, Arnprior taxpayers have saved as much as $400,000 in costs, says the town release. “This is in large part why the Town of Arnprior’s 2014 budget held the line on taxes with a zero per cent municipal tax rate increase.

Arnprior does ‘rock’

Sports – Arnprior’s hometown hero John Leslie paced the Canadian para-snowboard team last Friday with an impressive seventhplace ďŹ nish, as the sport of snowboard cross made its Paralympic debut in Sochi. In reporting the result, the Canadian Olympic Committee called Leslie’s performance “superb.â€? The 21-year-old Paralympic athlete, a graduate of Arnprior District High School, had originally been expected to compete for a spot in Canada’s 2018 Paralympic parasnowboard team, but has made such strides in the sport he was named to this year’s team competing in Sochi. Leslie, who has also been called the pride of Mount Pakenham where he originally snowboarded and the pride of McNab-Braeside where he grew up, completed three solid runs - the best two count for total time - and enthused about his Paralympic experience afterward. Leslie’s best two runs combined time was 1:51.88. “The experience was amazing,â€? said Leslie. “Everyone rode to their best. I was with a pile of friends in the beautiful sun, doing what I love to do. Couldn’t have asked for a better way to end things. “I was very happy with the way I rode and the way everything worked out.â€? Tyler Mosher of Whistler, B.C. placed 12th in 1:59.80 and Ian Lockey of Rossland, B.C. placed 21st in 2:10.26. On the women’s side, Canada’s only female para-snowboarder, Michelle Salt of Calgary, Alta., placed ninth in 3:21.28. “To make history and be in the top 12 women in the world, I couldn’t be happier with my result coming out of an injury,â€? said Salt. “I’m starting to train for 2018 right away.â€? Para-snowboard was ofďŹ cially added to the Paralympic Games in May 2012 after years of effort on the part of Canada Snowboard and the rest of the snowboarding community. “It’s great to be part of the ďŹ rst ever winter Paralympic Games with snowboarding after 10 years of hard work developing the sport,â€? said Mosher.

Community - It’s time to get some traffic back into the Arnprior Shopping Centre. And the inaugural Mini Buskers Festival planned for March 22 is designed to do just that, says shopping centre manager Howie Lebrun.

Craft tables will also be out for shoppers to peruse. The Arnprior-McNab-Braeside Archives is
asking former Playtex employees to drop in and check out staff photos to help identify the individuals. The festival will make use of some of the mall’s empty stores. “We’re trying to get people in here and get things happening,� said Lebrun, who has been in his role since November. “I’d like to show people how we can use this space.� Improvements have and will continue to be made at the shopping centre, which was built in 1975. “The washrooms have been completely renovated and now we’re looking at redoing some of the stores,� said Lebrun. Fixing the parking lot and the roof is also on the agenda. E Steam staff member Sebastien Gagnon is SHERRY HAAIMA/METROLAND one of the buskers signed up to participate.

News – A White Lake woman whose car was damaged at the No Frills parking lot is urging witnesses to speak up in such incidents. The woman, who asked that her name be withheld as she fears possible repercussions from the culprit now the police are involved, said it is unfortunate that so many people don’t want to get involved in such incidents. She says her vehicle was hit by another car on Feb. 28 at the grocery store parking lot. “The individual who knew they had hit my car blatantly drove away without concern,� she said. “I’m asking that individual to come forward to the OPP (who are investigating) and resolve this issue.� The woman said she is also seeking the community’s help in “bringing this individual
to justice.� She is asking anyone knows or has seen a late model faded red Toyota Tercel with the left front fender a lighter shade of red (had been replaced at one time) to call the OPP. “We’ve all been there or know someone who has been the victim of a failure to remain,� she said. “It’s happened too many times. We need to act and not sit idly to absorb the costly repairs of someone’s inconsiderate and selfish actions after they have caused damage to someone’s vehicle and not remain to accept responsibility.� She said that “it’s not okay to just walk away, whether you are the victim or the one at fault or see an incident happen to someone else. Let’s all do our part of being accountable when we operate a motor vehicle, where on the roads or simply in a parking lot.�

Feds urged to help with four-laning of Hwy. 17 John.carter@metroland.com
News – A delegation from the County of Renfrew stressed the importance of the four-laning of Highway 17 and the continued operation of Atomic Energy of Canada (AECL) to this area’s economy in a meeting with Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant last week. The County ofďŹ cials asked Gallant to check whether a signiďŹ cant amount of federal funding allocated to improving the Trans Canada Highway in the Kenora area could be used in the Upper Ottawa Valley instead. The highway work in west Ontario is on hold indeďŹ nitely because of negotiations with First Nations bands. “We’d like to see her (Gallant) look into possibility of some of that money coming here,â€? said Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack, the chairman of the county’s operations committee. Later in the week in a meeting with county and Arnprior ofďŹ cials, provincial Transportation Ministry Glenn Murray wished them “good luckâ€? in receiving federal funding for the highway, noting the federal government has never taken such requests seriously in the past (see story Page 25). Stack said the delegation asked Gallant to
help set up a meeting on Highway 17 with federal, provincial and county ofďŹ cials. “We’d like to get everyone (MP, MPP, ministry ofďŹ cials, county representatives) all in the same room,â€? Stack explained. Stack was joined at the meeting with Galllant by County of Renfrew Acting County Warden Jack Wilson and Deep River Mayor David Thompson. In addition, County CAO Jim Hutton and director of public works and engineering David Darch were on hand to give Gallant gave an overview of the recently completed ‘Business Case for the Accelerated Extension of Highway 17’. In a news release, Gallant indicated federal funding isn’t being considered at this time for the extension of the four lanes up the Valley because the project isn’t a provincial priority. “The county has done its part by completing the business case that was requested by the Province,â€? she said. “The challenge is to get the province to commit to the four-laning of Highway 17 by putting it in the ďŹ ve-year provincial infrastructure plan.â€? Gallant said that before the last Federal budget she checked with Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty to see if the twinning of Highway 17 was on the list of projects to be considered for federal funding.

wasn’t because Highway 17 is not on the list of provincial priorities, she said. “If safety was a provincial priority, the highway would be completed,â€? she added. In the meeting with Gallant, the county delegation also raised the need for federal support for AECL and the $19-million Petawawa Boulevard project. There is no way the county could fund the latter without support from the senior levels of government, noted Stack. Gallant noted that infrastructure funding is possible for such projects through the P3 Canada Fund. “The $53 billion New Building Canada Plan is the largest, long-term federal infrastructure plan in Canadian history, providing stable funding for a 10-year period, she explained. “Over $32 billion is speciďŹ cally available for municipalities through the permanent and indexed Gas Tax Fund and the incremental Goods and Services Tax Rebate for municipalitiesâ€? she added. “Since 2005, over $14 million has owed to Renfrew County.â€? She said she looked forward to working with the County of Renfrew in seeking funding for the Petawawa Boulevard project and all its infrastructure needs.

County prepared to lobby for AECL Steve Newman Steve.newman@metroland.com
News - The long-term health and local presence of Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. may depend on the success of Renfrew County’s lobbying campaign this year. In efforts to keep AECL’s activities at Chalk River and Deep River, the county began its homework with a fact-finding tour last December to several nuclear-related facilities in the United States. These included some that had been earmarked for closure, but now thrive with the help of private business enterprise. The same mindset is being pursued with the help of the delegation that made the trip to the U.S. Over four days in December, the delegation held meetings with 16 community, industry, national laboratory, industry association and citizen groups in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Ohio. All these groups had faced restructuring initiatives by the U.S. government. Meanwhile, back in Renfrew County, the

Canadian government is seeking a request for proposal (RFP) regarding how to restructure AECL. The December trip, says Warden Peter Emon, proved highly enlightening and exposed the potential for AECL. Thompson says two types of companies are likely to respond with RFPs – companies experienced with decommissioning nuclear facilities, and companies that see restructuring as an entry point to grow on-site service and expertise. The latter is obviously preferred, he says. The worst-case scenario is dismantlement of AECL in Renfrew County, whereas Thompson says the county is seeking quite the opposite, namely ongoing economic development at AECL, which is currently the second largest employer in the county, with about 3,000 staff. Only Garrison Petawawa (formerly Canadian Forces Base Petawawa) is larger. The federal government initiated the AECL restructuring process in 2011, with the intention of finding a more cost-effective way to operate AECL while retaining its scientific and other technological capabilities.
AECL restructuring spin-offs possible: MP Continued from Page 5
Regarding AECL, Thompson pointed out to Gallant that the Association of Nuclear Host Communities has adopted a resolution supporting its re-structuring into a government-owned, contractor-operated model. Gallant responded that the federal government has announced a request for response evaluation as the latest step in the restructuring of AECL. The restructuring will provide opportunities
for economic development in the Valley, she maintained. “Canada’s nuclear industry generates well over $5 billion in economic activity related to energy production, and directly employs more than 30,000 Canadians, including 3,000 at AECL’s Chalk River National Laboratories,” she said. “What I will be looking for are spin-off businesses to join ‘Innovation Valley North’ here in the Upper Ottawa Valley when the (AECL) restructuring is completed.” R0012598164

COPD and Better Breathing
Tickets on Sale Now.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is when chronic bronchitis and emphysema occur at the same time resulting in a limitation of the flow of air to and from the lungs, causing shortness of breath. This is an ongoing health issue (with no cure) that requires monitoring and often lands those affected in the emergency room. The rate of COPD among patients 35 years of age and older who live in Renfrew County is double the rate of COPD in the City of Ottawa. The smoking rates in Renfrew County are almost double the smoking rates in the City of Ottawa and this is a direct correlation. All smokers will eventually be diagnosed with COPD.

Natural gas hike tip of the iceberg when it comes to high energy costs Oh, oh, it’s really going to hit the fan now. Enbridge Gas is asking for approval to hike natural gas rates 40 per cent. Not in some distant future time, but effective April 1 (no fooling). When you add in extra taxes, the increase on homeowners will be more like 50 per cent. The utility says the long, cold winter has boosted demand for gas, thereby raising rates. Funny, when we had mild winters the prices didn’t go down that much, if at all. The gas hike could be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. That along with dramatically rising hydro rates. Even folks in towns and cities with their own utilities that have so far softened the blow are opening their latest hydro bills to discover 50 per cent increases. People forced to buy their elec-
tricity exclusively from Hydro One have been crying fowl since the start of winter. The cold weather mixed with rising electricity rates (for a variety of reasons), clumsy new Hydro One billing processes and abysmal customer service has sparked a rural revolution against energy costs. The offices of both our MP and MPP have been deluged by complaints by constituents who have either been mucked around by their energy providers or can’t afford to pay their bills. While Hydro One has been the main target, many rural folks are also mighty cheesed off with the propane companies, as they have raised rates and failed to provide enough gas for shivering consumers. Adding to the misery is a shortage of firewood in some areas. This is not a luxury item we’re talking about here. Energy is a ne-
cessity, made even more important by the extreme weather that is becoming more and more common. The growing energy price protest, fueled by angry campaigns on social media, is building toward a day of protest April 4, with demonstrations planned in many small communities around Ontario, including Renfrew and Carleton Place, and at several politicians’ offices. With the disclosure that natural gas rates are going up significantly in the next couple of weeks coupled with the dramatically rising hydro rates, the discontent is going to balloon. It will no longer be only a few rural voices crying in the wilderness about energy costs. They are about to be joined in the protests by urban residents, who rely on natural gas and electricity for their creature comforts. That outrage should make
for some extreme politician discomfort. People tend to reasonable and not to complain if prices ease upwards in concert with the cost-of-living. But it hardly seems reasonable to be suddenly paying 50 or even 100 per cent more to keep yourself from freezing. Especially when you’re struggling on a fixed income to keep up with rising water bills, more expensive gasoline, and new and expanded fees in a variety of areas. It’s hard to swallow when the $100,000 public service salary list comes out and it includes thousands of Hydro One employees. We don’t begrude the hardy souls who go out in all types of weather to repair downed lines and get our power back. But it’s difficult to be sympathetic with all the administrators enjoying warm, plush offices in Toronto and Ottawa when you’re trying to decide wheth-
er to pay the hydro bill or buy groceries. And it’s hard to sympathize when you hear about Hydro workers retiring or laid off only to be brought back on contract costing taxpayers even more money. Hydro One needs to get its act together. And the politicians should quit blaming each other and get together to tackle what is becoming a serious problem. The higher the cost of energy rises, the more taxes the senior levels of government rake in. They should be using some of that money to help citizens struggling to pay their energy bills with some sort of rebate program or other assistance. For most, this isn’t a protest of fat cats upset over losing their privileged lifestyles. These are concerns of people genuinely worried about being able to afford an essential service. The politicians need to heed their cries.

Public input welcomed on Energy East pipeline To the Editor: I am happy to announce that TransCanada’s Energy East Pipeline project crossed a key milestone last week with the filing of the project’s description to the National Energy Board of Canada (NEB). The filing is the first step in the formal regulatory process for TransCanada to receive the necessary approvals to build and operate the $12-billion project that will allow Eastern Canadian markets to access a less expensive and more stable supply of crude oil from Western Canada. The Energy East Pipeline project involves converting approximately 3,000 kilometers of existing natural gas pipeline in our Canadian Mainline between Alberta and Eastern Ontario to crude oil service and building approximately 1,600 kilometers of new pipeline to access refineries and export terminals in Quebec and Saint John, New Brunswick. Energy East is anticipated to be in service in 2018. An independent economic analysis of Energy East conducted by Deloitte found that the project will generate $35 billion in additional gross domestic product (GDP) for Canada during development and construction, and the first 40 years of its operation. The project is expected to support more than 10,000 full-time jobs during development and construction of the pipeline between 2013 and 2018 with another 1,000 full-time jobs directly supported once the pipeline begins service. It is also expected to generate an additional $10 billion in provincial tax revenues over the same time period. TransCanada has held over 60 public open

houses and participated in hundreds of meetings in 2013 to provide information and discuss important topics such as water safety, pipeline integrity, environmental protection and economic benefits. Important input from these events has enabled TransCanada to narrow its selection to the preliminary pipeline route. We are finding that Canadians strongly support the benefits that a project of this scope will bring with assurances that the Energy East Pipeline will operate with a limited impact on all of the resources along the pipeline route. We are currently engaging with nearly 500 communities, 155 First Nation and Metis communities and organizations and more than 5,500 landowners in six provinces. TransCanada plans to hold more events in 2014 and is committed to ensuring all of our stakeholders receive the facts and information they require and is using their feedback to design a project that addresses their questions and concerns. Companies like TransCanada are also part of the solution to the challenge of climate change. To date, we have invested over $5 billion in emission-less energy sources facilities in the U.S. and Canada. Almost one-third of the power we supply across North America comes from emissionless and renewable energy sources – which is part of the diversified approach that many Canadians are seeking. We invite the public to obtain more information by visiting our website at www.energyeastpipeline.com or by calling 1-855-895-8750. Steve Pohlod President, Energy East Pipeline

Spring was scheduled to officially arrive at 12:57 p.m. It can’t come fast enough for many people, tired of what has been one of the longest and coldest winters in the past 25 years. The last weekend of winter was marked by unseasonal mid-March temperatures dipping into the minus 20s and even into minus 30 with the wind chill, along with frostbite warnings and snow flurries.
The spring (vernal) equinox is supposed to bring warming temperatures and the rebirth of flora and fauna as the amount of daylight increases to more than 50 per cent during the days of spring. However, more snow flurries are forecast for this week and the temperature isn’t expected to rise much above zero Centigrade before the end of March. At least it’s been a good long run for snowmobilers, skiers, snowshoers, ice fishermen and other outdoors winter recreationalists.

Cold winter puts deer herds at risk benefit most from winter conservation efforts. In the meantime, concerned conservationists are packing down trails in areas frequented by deer, and by cutting preferred browse species (maples, birch, dogwood, sumac, hemlock, cedar, etc.). “Conservationists can also help by contributing to the OFAH DeerSave Fund so we are ready to provide help when and where it is needed most,” added Ryckman. THE OFAH notes that it remains critically important to respect private property and keep safety in mind at all times when performing winter conservation efforts. The federation only endorses deer feeding in emergency situations, and only according to science-based MNR guidelines.

News - White-tailed deer in parts of Ontario are experiencing one of the worst winters in recent memory. “Deep snow, hard crusts and frigid temperatures could result in significant mortality of adult deer and the loss of this spring’s fawn crop,” says OFAH senior wildlife biologist Mark Ryckman in a news release. The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) reports that most deer entered this winter in really good shape thanks to an abundance of natural foods in 2013. However, it remains likely that this year’s harsh winter conditions will still have an impact on many of central and northern Ontario’s deer herds. In 1995, the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) established the DeerSave Fund to help

Gun-owner organization lobbies against Swiss rifle ban News – Restrictions on Swiss automatic rifles has prompted a lobby by gun organizations to have the system changed and the decision overturned. The federal government’s announcement it will give amnesty to owners of the prohibited Swiss weapons that have been put on the banned list by the RCMP does not do enough to address the problem, they argue. As the controversy grew, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant pointed out in a news release that she had introduced a private members motion last fall that would have removed the responsibility of classifying categories of firearms from the RCMP to a newlycreated firearms experts technical committee. Gallant maintained the move is needed to restore public confidence in the functions and operation of the Canadian Firearms Registration system. The proposed firearms committee would be “tasked to operate in a more open and transparent fashion� and operate with civilian oversight, she explained. There is no indication if or when the motion, which has been reinstated in this session of Parliament, might come to a vote.
SUBMITTED
Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant enjoys an open house at the Pembroke Sportsman Club. Canada’s National Firearms Association maintains that with prohibited status the use of the Swiss and other firearms affected by the ban would be severely limited. Therefore, their owners would “lose significant enjoyment of their property,� as prohibited long arms may not even be taken to the range, it added in a news release. The association argues that the proposed amnesty does not go far enough because the reclassification still affects the pos-

session, ownership and use of the firearms for activities such as hunting and target practice. “The amnesty covers possession of these firearms by their owners for a five-year period,� points out the association. “It remains to be seen if the Minister believes that this is the end of the matter, or if he sees this as a temporary measure until significant changes can be made to the Firearms Act and Criminal Code,� it adds. “The thousands of Canadians who own these rifles, representing millions of dollars in legally acquired and lawfully owned private property and the millions of other Canadians who believe that their property is next to be banned and confiscated demand answers as to why the Minister approved the RCMP recommendation to prohibit and confiscate thousands of rifles at a stroke of a pen.� What is needed is “significant reform� to Canadian firearms legislation, the association concludes. Meanwhile, Gallant thanked members of the “law-abiding firearms community� for their support of her motion and once again raised the spectre of Liberals using overly restrictive laws against gun owners.
“Motion 452 is a result of listening to my constituents and acting on their concerns,� she said. With the recent actions by the RCMP in High River, Alberta and the re-classification of a firearm that had been legally available in Canada without incident for over 10 years, I will be working very hard to see this motion pass.� Eleven Conservative MPs seconded her motion. “The legislation governing firearms that our Conservative government inherited from the old Liberal Opposition, Bill C-68, imposed ‘police state’ powers on law-abiding Canadians whose private property includes a firearm. The fear in the firearms community is the party that brought in the War Measures Act to suspend civil liberties in Canada would not hesitate to take similar measures against them,� said Gallant. “With the current head of the Liberal party being easily controlled by his un-elected advisors, and his belief that Canada should be more like China, worried members of the firearms community believe laws need to be changed now to prevent arbitrary seizures of private property in the future,� she added.

Eastern Ontario farm campuses to close at end of next year Staff
News – The campuses that have trained many farmers in Eastern Ontario have been threatened with closure. The farming community is rallying against the University of Guelph’s decision to close its satellite campuses in Kemptville and Alfred next year. The University is consolidating its farming programs in Guelph and Ridgetown in the Chatham area. About 550 students are currently enrolled at the Kemptville campus and 61 at the Alfred campus. Consolidating the regional campus programs will eliminate upwards of 37 full-time jobs at Alfred and 75 at Kemptville, as well as a number of part-time and casual workers. There is hope that the Francophone agricultural classes given in Alfred will be taken over by La Cité and Collège Boréal colleges to ensure that students in Eastern Ontario continue to have access to French-language programs. The two Francophone colleges have signed agreements-in-principle to deliver programs and services for French-language education at the Alfred campus. Although no immediate partners have emerged, the provincial government says it is open to supporting a community-based proposal to maintain programming at the Kemptville campus. Government are urging community leaders, businesses and institutions to take a leadership role in that effort. Both the Progressive Conservatives and the NDP have appealed to the provincial government to act. “These colleges are an important part of de-
veloping our future farmers,” said PC Agriculture Critic Ernie Hardeman in a letter to Premier and Agriculture Minister Kathleen Wynne. “Our farmers are aging. We need to encourage more young people to enter careers in agriculture and yet by allowing these colleges to close you are taking the ability of a lot of young people in Eastern Ontario to get the skills they need to become farmers. “These schools provide training in food processing skills as well as agriculture. You should be aware that we already have a shortage of skilled people in both the agriculture and the food manufacturing industries. These colleges not only help create a skilled work force they give young people who can’t afford to be away from home or the family farm an opportunity for needed education.” NDP Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Critic John Vanthof called on Wynne Monday to prevent the shutdown of the agricultural college campuses. “Agriculture education should be hands on and site-specific, because to learn agriculture, you learn it where you grew up, and a lot of those students are still going home to their family farm,” said Vanthof, who says the government should give residents the chance to come up with a local solution to preserving the program. Losing the college, which North Grenville Mayor David Gordon calls a part of the fabric of the community, is a major hit for North Grenville, Alfred and all of eastern Ontario. “We definitely want to have some answers,” Gordon said. “This unfortunate decision limits the availability of programs for students in rural communities and results in the potential overall loss
of at least 112 full-time jobs,” said Paul Elliott, president of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation. Chuck Cunningham, assistant vice-president of communications and public affairs at the University of Guelph, explained that the university is reviewing all seven academic col-

Despite efforts over the past several years to introduce new revenuegenerating educational programs and attract new students, enrolment at both campuses remains stagnant while operating costs have increased. Costs per full-time equivalent student are substantially higher at these campuses, Summerlee said, As part of the consolidation plan, intake to academic programs at the Alfred and Kemptville campuses will be suspended for the fall 2014 semester. Delivery of academic programs at the two campuses will cease by the end of 2015. Currently registered students at both campuses will be able to complete their programs.

News - The County of Renfrew Paramedic Service has downsized from three to two deputy chiefs, leaving director of emergency services Mike Nolan with additional duties. The decision was made Feb. 20 to eliminate the position of Leslie Ann Wirth, leaving Michel Ruest and Brian Leahey as the two deputy chiefs.
Some of Wirth’s previous duties were as community emergency management co-ordinator. Now Nolan will assume some of that position’s duties. Other management-coordinator duties will be handled by Ruest, Leahey and members of the management team. On Feb. 27, county council approved the rescinding of the appointment of Wirth as deputy chief of quality programs.

How DNA changes what’s in our new bird books Lifestyle - I started birdwatching many years ago - 55 to be exact. Over those years a litany of books helped me learn the identity of our local birds. Of all the birds residing in my field guides, I was particularly eager to see those magnificent hawks. According to my books, there were three main types of hawks. Large buteos such as Red-tailed Hawks sat up high in trees and then swooped down on unsuspecting prey. Accipiters or ‘bird hawks’ darted through forests, using speed and surprise to capture smaller birds, often at birdfeeders. There were three accipiters: Northern Goshawks and Sharpshinned and Cooper’s hawks. And then there were the falcons, the sexy, pointed-winged speedsters that included the world’s fastest bird, the Peregrine Falcon. Revised editions of bird books kept appearing every few years. Often they contained a subtle change in a bird’s name, such as Marsh Wren instead of Long-billed Marsh Wren. Occasionally there were major changes. Traill’s Flycatcher suddenly became two species: Willow and Alder flycatchers. Changes were based either on literature searches (for simple name changes) or physical and behavioural characteristics (for species pronouncements).
Michael Runtz Nature’s Way Then along came DNA. Its use in ornithology showed that some of the pronouncements had been correct. Traill’s Flycatcher truly consisted of two different species erroneously housed under one name. The physical and behavioural characteristics used to split Traill’s into two species were supported by DNA analysis.
DNA also revealed some assumptions were wrong. Loons were not more primitive than ducks and so lost their frontal placement in bird books (birds are organized according to their evolutionary history with more primitive birds placed at the front). Loons were relocated to pages not only behind ducks but also behind grouse. Recently DNA analysis resulted in changes far more startling. My precious hawks, which consisted of three main groups, were being dismantled. Most shocking was that the holiest of holy, the falcons, were no longer considered to be hawks. DNA revealed them to be more closely related to parrots and songbirds, and in future bird books they will be found on pages residing between those two groups. Shock waves are still resonating through the birding community. The DNA bombshell actually has support in terms of falcons’ physical
attributes. They have a ‘tomial tooth’, a small projection on their upper bill, a feature no hawk exhibits. Parrots, however, have one. Falcons’ legs are covered with small, round ‘reticulate’ scales, which are most unlike the longer scales possessed by hawks. Parrots’ legs have reticulate scales. And no other local hawk has wings as sharply pointed as those of a falcon. Parrots have pointed wings. Currently, publishers are working hard to bring out new editions of bird books, ones that have falcons placed after parrots. The just-released second edition of Sibley’s Birds of North America is the first to show this dramatic change. More books will soon follow. I may not like this change, but I have to get used to it. After all, DNA MICHAEL RUNTZ never lies. DNA has revealed that Peregrine That is unless your name is O.J. The Nature Number is 613-387- Falcons are more closely related to parrots than to hawks. 2503; email is mruntz@start.ca.

and is a great example of how local initiatives are important in building a community and supporting the local forestry sector. “This industry recognition is important as it shows the reach and influence of the County of Renfrew forest industry,� said a delighted County of Renfrew Warden Peter Emon. “This award recognizes the importance of the information and co-operation we receive from the industry and the efforts of our staff to meld that information into useful and important policy and industry leading practices. The forest industry is alive and thriving because of their willingness to work hard, think and innovate their way through challenges and to partner from forest floor to consumers in a world-wide market.� County of Renfrew forester Lacey Rose, who was in attendance to accept the award on behalf of Ottawa Valley Wood, was
happy to see the initiative recognized. “We’re very proud of the County’s efforts to promote the wood businesses across the Ottawa Valley,� she said. “We accept this award on behalf of the local forest industry that work supplies us with sustainably managed wood products that we all use in our day-to-day lives.� The Ontario Wood brand was introduced as an initiative of the provincial government, and the Ontario Wood logo identifies that products are made from wood that is grown, harvested and processed in Ontario. When consumers see the logo they can feel confident the wood products they’re buying have been harvested under some of the highest environmental standards in the world. The Ontario Wood award recognizes companies or organizations who contribute to the positive promotion and building of the Ontario Wood brand.

Thunder follow win over Packers with upset of Wolves in Valley final Peter Clark peter.clark@metroland.com
Sports - The Junior B Arnprior Packers shouldn’t feel so bad for losing their first-round playoff to the Almonte Thunder in six games. The upstart Thunder, who came on strong in the latter part of the regular season, continued their winning ways in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League Valley Division final, ousting regular season champion Renfrew Timberwolves in five games. The season ended for Renfrew in heartstopping fashion last Friday night. Just as another good crowd at the Ma-TeWay Activity Centre was about to settle in for
overtime, Almonte’s Luke Martin stepped in front of a clearing pass and scored from the top of the face-off circles with four seconds showing on the clock. The goal gave the Thunder a dramatic 4-3 win over the Wolves, and Almonte’s first Valley Division title in the franchise’s five-year history. Martin’s goal at 19:56 of the third period was his second of the night and 10th in the fivegame series. Cameron Cornwall and defenceman Tyler McKechnie had other Almonte markers. Luke Lapierre, Sean Kyte and Troy Taylor answered for the Wolves, who owned a 3-2 lead before McKechnie tied the count at three
with 5:30 remaining in the third period. The win was Almonte’s fourth straight after they dropped the first game of the series in Renfrew. Almonte pulled ahead 2-1 with a 4-0 win in game 4, as Thunder goalkeeper Alex Daley chalked up his third shutout of the playoffs and Martin had a hat trick. The Wolves squandered an enormous opportunity to tie the series March 12 at the Almonte Thunderdome. Renfrew led 4-1 in the last minute of the second period, and 4-2 entering the third before lightning struck with the sound of four answered Thunder goals. Martin caged his second consecutive hat trick, while Jordan Bosely notched the game
winner with two minutes remaining to cap the stunning comeback. Almonte will now endeavour to become the first Valley Division team to advance to an EOJHL final since the Perth Blue Wings won it all in 1996, when the Thunder takes on the Metro champion Ottawa West Golden Knights. The series begins tonight (Thursday) in Ottawa at the Barbara Ann Scott Arena, with game two in Almonte this Saturday, March 22 at 7:30 p.m. In the Rideau-St. Lawrence final, Casselman Vikings has taken a quick 2-0 lead over the Gananoque Islanders. - With files from John Carter
Packers Puck program a success Record-breaking temperatures. That’s what I’ll be thinking about. What will you be thinking about during your moment of darkness? Think about the future you want when you turn the lights off for Earth Hour on March 29, 8:30-9:30 p.m.

Sports - This past winter the Arnprior Junior B Packers held a hockey program at the Braeside RA Centre with help from the McNab-Braeside Recreation Department. For six weeks every Tuesday evening the Junior Packers players would hit the ice with some community youth and help them hone their hockey skills in the Packers Puck Program. From working on passing, shooting, skating, and team drills to good old games of pick-up shinny, it was a fun season on the outdoor ice.

The cost of the program was just $25 for six sessions and free Packers tickets.

Juvenile Packers open final tonight Sports - The Arnprior Packers will host the Osgoode Rideau Senators in the opening game of the Lanark-Carleton Minor Hockey League juvenile hockey championship series tonight (Thursday). The game is scheduled to begin at 8:30 p.m. at the Nick Smith Centre. The teams will play up to four games with the squad earning four points (two
for a win, one for a tie) first capturing the title. Both teams were tied at the end of the round-robin playoff series with 10 points from five wins and one loss. The Juvenile Packers, the regular season champions, were given home ice advantage. Team officials are urging the public to turn out and cheer on
the Packers. It is guaranteed to be a really tight series with some great hockey, they note. Game two will be played Monday, March 24 at 9 p.m. at the Osgoode Arena, with game three, if needed, back in Arnprior Friday, March 28 at 8:30 p.m. If a game four is required, it will be played in Osgoode Sunday, March 30 at 6 p.m.

Minister urges all-party support for Highway 17 twinning john.carter@metroland.com
News – Ontario Minister of Transportation Glen Murray agrees that Highway 17 should be twinned up the Valley from Arnprior, but says progress is being hindered by lack of support from the provincial opposition parties and the federal government. “It’s a huge priority,” said Murray during a meeting with Town of Arnprior and County of Renfrew representatives March 13. Murray, who is also the provincial minister of infrastructure, received a first-hand look at the work on the four-laning as his hosts took him on a tour along Highway 17 from Arnprior to the Calabogie turn-off. Murray maintained the twinning of the highway “is a priority for us (government)” and in fact “should have been done 20 years ago.” However, unless the people of the Ottawa Valley get their representatives to persuade their parties to support the project “it could be 50 years before we see the highway twinning,” he said. Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack, the county’s operations committee chairman, and county director of public works and engineering David Darch presented Murray with the recently completed ‘Business Case for the Accelerated Extension of Highway 17’ report. Stack had invited the minister to visit the area at last month’s Good Roads convention. The invitation followed up on a request made by a county delegation that met with the minister last fall. Also attending the Arnprior meeting were Arnprior Deputy Mayor Dan Lynch, acting County Warden Jack Wilson, Arnprior CAO Michael
Wildman and County CAO Jim Hutton. Stack said there is a pressing need to advance the widening of the highway both from a safety and economic prosperity point of view. “We thought it would be very worthwhile to give the Minister a tour of the highway to demonstrate how important linking a twinned 17 to the other major highways in the county is the right decision,” he said. “Having the Minister here and being able to present our case in person that this project (four-laning from Scheel Drive to Renfrew) should be in the province’s five-year infrastructure plan is an important step.” The four-laning to Scheel Drive is scheduled to be completed next year, but the next phase is in limbo. Darch noted that it is important to the area’s tourism and economic development to have the four-lanes going at least far enough to link up with highways to the Calabogie area, Algonquin Park and Quebec. Murray was non-committal on the five-year plan request, pointing out that such funding needs support from the Opposition Conservative and NDP parties. So far, it appears those parties have other priorities rather than “making investments” into infrastructure, he said. He urged Renfrew County residents to lobby Renfrew-NipissingPembroke MPP John Yakabuski to support the funding instead of cutting back such allocations. He also said people in the riding should urge their MP Cheryl Gallant to work on her government to “get serious” on funding projects such the Highway 17 twinning. The needs are much greater than what the federal gas tax can fund, he added. Murray said the province is suffering from almost 40 years of in-
The County of Renfrew’s ‘Business Case for the Accelerated Extension of Highway 17’ was the centre of attention at a meeting of county and town officials with Ontario Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Glen Murray in Arnprior March 13. From left are Acting County Warden Jack Wilson; Murray, who was presented with the report; Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack, who is the chairman of the county’s operations committee; and Arnprior Deputy Mayor Dan Lynch. JOHN CARTER/METROLAND frastructure underfunding. A large number of highways, schools and hospitals were built after the Second World War into the 1970s, but much of that infrastructure is in disrepair. The provincial government is trying to respond, but needs support from all parties and all levels of government, Murray said. “We have to get that highway twinned to Renfrew, and then we have to get it twinned beyond that,” he said, reiterating that a project of this scope needs funding support from the federal government and the two provincial opposition parties to proceed. He suggested all MPPs should be
lobbied to support committing two per cent of the gross domestic product budget to infrastructure. Murray commended Arnprior and the county for their efforts in developing new economic development and marketing strategies designed to attract more investment to the area. The twinning of Highway 17 will help in those efforts to create jobs to keep more young people from leaving the area, he noted. “The meeting with the minister was a tremendous success,” said Stack. “Arnprior and the County of Renfrew are clearly on the minister’s radar, and we look forward to continued support from the province on
this very important initiative.” Earlier in the week, the province announced more than $5 million infrastructure funding for four major projects in Renfrew County. The projects include rehabilitating a section of Highway 132 (Lisgar Street) in Renfrew to accommodate increased traffic flow between the route and Highways 17 and 60. Other project include revitalizing a portion of Jane Street in Bonnechere Valley, building a left turning lane and resurfacing a 1.3-kilometre portion of Highway 60 in Madawaska Valley, and replacing a force main and reconstructing three local streets in Pembroke.

Lifestyle - Armas and Marie Tammela met in Ottawa at the Rockcliffe Air Force Base in the 1950s when Armas was a Flight Lieutenant and Navigation Officer and Marie was an operating room nurse. Just as Marie was about to be transferred to the Search and Rescue Paratroopers, Armas was notified that he was being posted to England. Although they had a spring wedding planned, they moved the date forward and were married in February 1959 and moved to England three months later. Armas, or ‘Tammy’ to his friends, was born in 1928 in Niagara Falls. His parents came to Canada in 1922 from Finland and his father worked for Ontario Hydro. Marie was born in St. Therese, Quebec in March 1927. She was the youngest in her family and was always looking for adventure. Marie gave up her chance to be a part of the rescue team for a different type of adventure with Armas in Europe. While Armas was stationed in Europe he travelled all over the world, including Australia and Africa. Marie raised their growing family of one son and

She became quite an accomplished seamstress and would sew much of the family’s clothing, including many ball gowns and cocktail party dresses that she needed for their military posting in Europe. When they weren’t traveling with the Air Force, the family would visit many places around Europe including four visits to Finland where they were able to track down long lost relatives
and re-establish relations with them. After returning to Ottawa, Armas retired from the Air Force and began working for the Department of National Defense. As Armas travelled extensively for his job, Marie focused on her artistic side and created countless ballet costumes for family and friends. She was also a volunteer with local schools and community projects. Marie was not the only art-
ist in the family. When Armas finally retired, he took up painting. His special love is landscapes and family portraits. The painting shown with this article was painted by Armas of Marie’s father. Her father died soon after the painting was completed. The Tammelas have been a part of the Island View family since May 2011 and enjoy being closer to their daughter and her family in Arnprior.

www.cherylgallant.com With winter temperatures being colder than usual these past several months, my office has received many angry phone calls from constituents about their electricity bills. Unfortunately, electricity rates are set by the provincial government in Toronto. Our two independent power utility companies here in the Ottawa Valley, Ottawa River Power Corporation, (ORPC) which serves Pembroke, Beachburg, Killaloe, Mississippi Mills, and Renfrew Hydro, are prevented by the Ontario Energy Board from buying cheap, abundant, clean, hydro-electric power from Quebec. Only when power crosses a provincial or international boundary, does the Federal Government through the National Energy Board (NEB) have jurisdiction.

Even given that constraint, our local distribution companies offer competitive power rates, with ORPC giving the lowest rate in the province of Ontario. In 2013 a residential customer using 800 kWh per month paid $109.65 to ORPC or $112.74 to Renfrew Hydro. Renfrew County residents who are customers of Hydro One paid $145.17!

This Week’s Feature
Rates for hydro in Ontario have been approved by Toronto to increase another 33% over the next three years. This increase does not include additional charges on electricity bills demanded by the provincial government. And it gets worse. Ontario PAID over $1 Billion dollars in 2013 to American border states to take unusable power from industrial wind turbines and solar panels. Ratepayers are subsidizing wind and solar at home and at the same time delivering cheap power to Ontario’s economic competitors, hollowing out our manufacturing sector in the process. Rest assured, if there was any way the Federal Government could intervene, I would do so on your behalf! These and other bad decisions have turned Ontario from being the economic engine of Canada, to a have-not province, with the current government in Toronto begging Ottawa for handouts. My concern, is the authors of the disastrous Ontario Energy Policy in Toronto, the so-called Green Energy Act, are now in Ottawa as principal advisors to the in-experienced leader of the 3rd Opposition Party.

The chief policy advisor to the leader of the liberal party in Ottawa, who, the media has nick-named “the puppeteer,” and the former provincial, turned federal liberal party president want Ontario Energy Policy to become a “new” National Energy Policy (NEP). Who among us can forget the first NEP in the 1980s that caused gas prices to rise by 54 cents a litre! Beware a disguised carbon tax using the word “green” or “environment” next time you pay your energy bill.

Onions were a cure-all according to Mrs. Beam Lifestyle - No matter what ailed you, there was a treatment for it, right there on the farm. Only when you were seriously afflicted, did you call old doctor Murphy, who made house calls, to come out from Renfrew, a 12-and-a-halfmile trip each way. But you had to be in dire straights indeed, because his fee was $2, or a couple of trussed up freshly plucked chickens and a batch of hot out-of-the oven sticky buns. Of course, if you broke a leg, or suffered some other serious malady, you were taken in to his office, where the fee was only a dollar. Chicken pox, measles, whooping cough or a very bad cold were not considered serious enough to warrant a call to Dr. Murphy! If Mother couldn’t handle it, Mrs. Beam was called in. She had a cure for everything, and most of them centred around the use of onions ... a good dose of onions. Mrs. Beam believed in the healing power of onions. It was a good thing we had a big supply, piled in the cellar in bags. And no one questioned Mrs. Beam. Emerson, who hated her onion cures as much as the rest of us did, was sure she would put a hex on you if you didn’t adhere to her advice, which would ultimately lead to your untimely death! And so we endured what became known as Mrs. Beam’s cure-all: “the onion treatment.” She also thought it best to ward off future diseases before they started, and, of course, that meant lots of onions ... not cooked. Oh no, raw, right out of the bag. Early in the winter, Mother was advised to cut them into quarters, put them in a soup bowl, and put them inches from every bed in the house! Father was the only one who believed this would keep the house free of germs. Mother tried it one day in early winter, and I took a sneezing fit in bed the first night and had to get up, Emerson said he was going to throw up, and Audrey took her next-morning clothes and hung them behind the kitchen door downstairs! That night’s chopped up onions were added to the pig feed the next day! But we weren’t to get off that easy. While most people had their chests slathered with Vic’s Vaporub when they got a cold, we wore a little flannelette packet tied around our necks with string, and filled with chopped onions! The first day we had to wear the packets to the Northcote School, we smelled like a pot of Irish stew, and everyone knew Mrs. Beam had been called in for a ‘treatment’. It could have been a social disaster, but Mrs. Beam had gotten to a few other households, which were threatened with some dastardly disease, only onions could keep at bay! And we weren’t the only ones reeking at the Northcote School. However, Miss Crosby finally had her fill of the one-room school house
smelling to high heaven, and she sent a note home with every pupil asking that the children stick to Vic’s Vaporub and leave the onions for the stewpot. Using Mrs. Beam’s treatment at home was one thing, but bringing it into the Northcote School was quite another! There was no thought of staying home from school if you were under the weather. You had to be bed-ridden before you were considered sick enough to miss. Passing on your germs never seemed to be a concern. It was assumed, sooner or later, everyone at the Northcote School would eventually get whatever was going around, and you just hung in there and waited for it to happen. The common cold or what was called the ‘grippe’ was never considered a serious ailment. However, measles, and whooping cough were a different matter. Those two meant missing school until either the rash left you, or you stopped coughing. In either case, Mrs. Beam was called in. And once again, the onion treatment came into play. She would check to make sure a soup bowl of chopped onions was beside your bed if it was the measles that kept you home. But her treatment for the whooping cough bordered on ‘child abuse’. She would cut an onion in half, scoop it out, making it into two little boats, fill them with honey, and then pour on a few drops of coal oil. These were put on a pie plate and chucked into the oven of the Findlay Oval, and when they started to bubble, you took a spoon and ate them. The honey was supposed to soothe your throat, the merit of the onions went without saying and the few drops of coal-oil, no one could say what they were good for, but what they did do was cause violent stomach upheaval, which was exactly what Mrs. Beam wanted to happen. That was to get rid of whatever ailed you, in this case the whooping cough. There was no doubt, the cure was far worse than the disease! It got to the point where even Mother doubted the merit of the common onion in treating an illness. Instead, she made sure that just about everything she cooked for our meals had a goodly dose of onions chopped up in it. No longer was there any such thing as a fried egg without onions, boiled turnips had onions added to the pot, and onions in a cream sauce appeared at least once or twice a week. Father thought anything Mrs. Beam said, or what she handed out as treatment, was right up there with Scripture, just like the time she said she had a cure for lumbago, but that’s another story waiting to be told.

Seniors at Home welcomes new social program co-ordinator Liz Wall Seniors at Home
Community - There is a new face at the Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program office in Arnprior. Many have already recognized her from her days in customer service at the local Toronto Dominion Bank. When the opening came up for a new social program co-ordinator, Patti Farr was one of those at the top of the list for consideration. It gives Seniors at Home great pleasure to welcome Farr to its agency staff as social program co-ordinator. She brings with her many years of dealing with the public including Arnprior Special Olympics, Waba Cottage Museum Gardens, White Lake Recreation committee, Queensway Hospital Candy Stripers, and also a volunteer receptionist with Seniors at Home and 13 years with the Toronto Dominion Bank in Arnprior. In her new position Farr will be in charge of the agency’s social programs including Diners Club, Friendship Days, Community Garden and the annual Seniors barbecue at Robert Simpson Park. “When you attend any of the above mention social programs, please make Patti feel welcome as
she looks forward to meeting each and every one of you,” said Seniors at Home executive director Dennis Harrington. “I am looking forward to meeting everyone at the Diner’s Club and Friendships Days and just around the corner, the Community Gardening and the popular senior’s barbecue in the park this July,” commented Farr. She is a native of Windsor but now proudly calls White Lake her home where she has lived for the past 25 years. Many of you may recognize her as the former owner of the White Lake General Store. She and her late husband, Bob Farr, owned and operated this popular local spot for eight years. Family is everything to Patti. The mother of two boys, William (Montreal, Quebec) and Michael (at home), she loves the quality time she is able to share with them, other family members, and, of course, her neighbours. She loves going on bike rides, hiking and walking throughout the beautiful village of White Lake with son Mike. She also enjoys gardening, reading and just being there for that individual person who may require an extra hug. “It’s a good feeling when you give back to both family and community,”
Patti Farr of White Lake is the new social program co-ordinator at the Seniors at Home office. said Patti. “My parents always said, ‘many hands make light work’.” If you have a question regarding Friendship Days, Diner’s Club or the Community Garden, you are invited to contact Farr at 613-623-7981 or email pattifarr@cssagency.ca.

Community - The fifth leg of the Knight-Legion Euchre Challenge is the “books” with the Knights looking more like the Ottawa Senators every game. Ahead by 41 games at one point, the Knights have 10 games in one competition to complete. The latest high team were Peggy Barsoski and Keith Burns with a record of 7 wins and 17 points. And, yes, the Knights continue to rack up ‘Skunks’. the latest odour coming from the team of Randy and Tracie Kubusheskie. Apparently the Knights are so worried about losing they called out the ‘Big Boy’ Dave Sherk to stop the bleeding. But alas it didn’t work. The last competition for this year is on March 28 at the Parish Hall. Competitors are reminded to be there by 6 p.m.

Community – Dig out your ‘70s bell-bottom pants, your ‘80s jean jacket or your ‘90s shoulder pads everyone – this year’s Mississippi Mills Relay for Life has a retro theme. This year’s version of this well-known event will be held the night of June 6 at Gemmill Park in Almonte, from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Moria Wilkie, a media relations consultant with the Mississippi Mills Relay for Life committee, said the theme is meant to inspire a night full of fun memories. “This year’s theme is sure to produce some interesting costumes for teams,” she said. “It will be fun to see what people come up with.” Relay for Life events are overnight fundraisers for the Canadian Cancer Society, where participants can register teams of 10 or more people to join in walking through the night to show their support for cancer research and those lives the illness has touched. The Renfrew County Relay for Life is also set for June 6 at the Dundonald Track in Petawawa. Last year, 487 Relays were held all across Canada, seeing more than 161,000 participants including more than 33,000 cancer survivors. This year’s Mississippi Mills Relay will be the third annual event in the area, “We keep learning as we go,” Wilkie said, “and we keep getting ideas to make the event bigger and better. We get more people as news travels each year, too.” In 2013, for the second Mississippi Mills Relay for Life, 34 participating teams raised $125,208, beating their overall fundraising goal, and lit 700 luminaries to honour the lives
ELECTIONS REQUIRED Multiple Candidates have been nominated in the following Communities: COMMUNITY Kijicho Manito Madaouskarini (Bancroft) Whitney and Area
NAME OF CANDIDATES Cannon, Katherine Green, Jo-Anne Bowers, Joseph Craftchick, Robert
Eligible Electors from those Communities requiring elections may vote either by Mail-In Ballot or by voting In-Person at the Polling Station for their respective Communities. The Polling Station for each Community will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on the following dates: COMMUNITY Kijicho Manito Madaouskarini (Bancroft) Whitney and Area
POLLING STATION Municipality of Hastings Highlands (Gymnasium) 33011 Highway 62 North Maynooth, ON St. Martin of Tours Church 10 Post Street Whitney, ON
DATE April 22, 2014
April 23, 2014
The counting of ballots and certification of results for these two elections will be conducted in accordance with the ANR Election Process 2014 on Thursday, April 24, 2014 at the Algonquins of Ontario Consultation Office located at 31 Riverside Drive, Suite 101, Pembroke, ON. Should you have any questions, contact the Electoral Officer, Vaughn Johnston at: Tel: 1-866-286-7130 Fax: 613-629-8685 E-mail: vaughn_johnston@hotmail.com
of those who have lost a battle with cancer, or who are still fighting. More than 40 local cancer survivors attended the event as well, many of them completing a celebratory lap around the track while being cheered on by the crowds. This year, Wilkie says she hopes to see 40 teams contribute to a fundraising goal of $135,000 and to light more than 800 luminaries around the track at Gemmill Park. It’s not only the event’s ambitions that are getting bigger, though. This year, the local Relay will see an extended entertainment show of local performers and more than enough activities to keep everyone awake and laughing throughout the night. Wilkie says the fundraiser’s Fight Back Zone will host Zumba classes and other healthy-living activities at scheduled times during the night, as well as foot-soaking stations for feet worn out from walking and nursing professionals who can offer advice and answer questions. There are many ways interested individuals can get involved with the Mississippi Mills Relay for Life. Volunteers are always needed, Wilkie said, from now until the day the event is over. Donations are also a great way to support the event if people can’t commit the time to organize a team. Personal and corporate donations are also always welcome. Of course, the best way to experience the magic of the Relay for Life, Wilkie said, is to register a team. Teams of 10 people can register to participate, or groups with less members can seek to join an existing team. The minimum fundraising goal for individual teams is $1,000 or $100 per person. Anyone interested in participating in this year’s Relay for Life should visit the website at www.relayforlife/ca/mississippimills.

and sent to Rome. It was Edward’s determination at that time that the wearing of the kilt was condemned and that the Scots were to wear truiss (tartan trousers) instead of kilts. Eventually Edward decided that the wearing of any kind of tartan, even a ribbon in the hair, would be a crime punishable by death on the spot. Of course, this did not go well with the Scots. They started something called the kirking of the tartan. Needless to say back then, they didn’t advertise it because the English and their supporters were not to know about it. King George IV, on visiting Scotland, decided that based on his genetic Scottish heritage and royal lineage to the Scottish throne, that the wearing of the tartan would be legal. He sponsored a great ball to celebrate the ruling. King George IV required that for the Grand Ball to celebrate the ruling, “no one would be allowed to enter if they didn’t wear tartan of some kind.” Based on this history, it seems that the Scottish heritage has been faced with large obstacles in retaining their historic garb.

Lifestyle – What is Tartan Day? Well, here is one celebration Canadians can be proud of. Tartan Day is a Canadian celebration started not in Scotland or any other country of the world, but on the east coast of Canada. Tartan Day originated in the late 1986 in Nova Scotia, where it was declared an official day by the provincial government. At a meeting of the Federation of Scottish Clans in the Antigonish court house, there was “a discussion as to how few heroes, in this day and age, for children to look up to or a person who could be held up as someone you would like to pattern yourself after.” At that time the people of the area wanted to honour the memory of the Scottish ancestors who settled their area, and a lot of the rest of Canada, with hard work, determination and faith in God. Does this sound familiar about the Scottish pioneers who came from Scotland to work the Laird of McNab’s land grant in the area of Arnprior, White Lake, Burnstown, Glasgow, Braeside and Lochwinnoch to the Ottawa River? The minutes of that meeting read as follows: March 9, 1986 motion by Bill Crowell president of Clan Cameron and seconded by Jean Watson president of Clan Farquharson … That we establish a day known as ‘Scot day’. Following more discussion, the motion was amended to read Tartan Day, to promote the wearing of Scottish attire, especially in places where the kilt is not ordinarily worn, i.e., work, play, worship, in honour of our forbearers. It then spread across the country, with many provinces joining in and Canada developing its own tartan (the Maple Leaf Tartan). On Oct. 21, 2010, the Minister of Canadian Heritage officially declared April 6 as Tartan Day. From here, Tartan Day spread to the U.S.A. and eventually worldwide. Okay, so why was the wearing of the tartan so important you ask? Well, this goes back all the way to King Edward’s ‘excursions’ into Scotland. Unfortunately in 1305, the Pope recognized Edward I of England as overlord of Scotland and Robert the Bruce was excommunicated

The path to vitality
I panicked...
My hair was thinning! For a long time Christie had wanted to do something extra for her hair. She felt it appeared dull and was thinning. Hair VolumeTM became her resource. JANET TOBIO/SUBMITTED
David Timm Legion Volunteer of the Year The Arnprior Legion’s Volunteer of the Year Award is presented every year at the New Year’s Levee. This year’s recipient is David Timm. He has been a member of the Legion for more than 20 years, volunteering in every aspect of Legion life including but not limited to the kitchen for dinners and breakfast, the poppy campaign and special events such as the Santa Claus parade. For several years he has been a regular on the Legion’s bingo committee. With Timm at the presentation is one of last year’s recipients, Bernie Gorman, left. He and his brother, Frank, shared the honour last year.
C
hristie encountered hair loss, which was very frustrating. “I have tried many things before, but to no avail.”
Read about Hair Volume™ Christie has worked in a pharmacy all her life. “Maybe that is why I was skeptical, when I first read about Hair Volume. I am always studying the declarations very carefully and there was something about this product,
HERITAGE CELEBRATION
CHARTWELL RETIREMENT RESIDENCES WELCOME YOU TO AN OPEN HOUSE RELIVE THE GOOD OLD DAYS TO THE SOUND OF MUSIC FROM YOUR YOUTH
which made me realize that it was special.”
Very positive experience “Today I have taken the Hair Volume tablets for 38 days and I can truly feel an improvement and less hair loss. My nails are also stronger and less grooved. All in all a very positive experience. I will definitely continue taking this product”, relates a happy Christie.
DID YOU KNOW? Grey hairs can begin to appear due to a lack of copper in your diet. Hair Volume™ tablets contain copper, which affects melanin production to help avoid grey hairs.
YOUR HAIR TABLET Hair Volume™ nourishes the hair roots with nutrients like biotin, zinc, b-vitamins and horsetail, all important for healthy hair. Hair Volume also contains procynidin B2 found in apples, which has shown to benefit hair follicle activity.

Pet etiquette â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Taking your dog to work Lifestyle - As corporate culture becomes more relaxed, many businesses now allow employees to bring their pets into the office. These days itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not uncommon to see a dog roaming free under peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desks, through conference rooms or enjoying a snack in the kitchen. While this more casual office environment can make work feel a little more like home, pets arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always a welcome sight during important meetings or for people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like dogs. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got dogs or are thinking of allowing dogs at your business, here are six ways pet-friendly businesses are keeping everyone happy. 1. Section off an area for them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Do not assume everyone loves dogs. As a business owner dealing with the public you will come across clients that either fear, dislike or are allergic to dogs. 2. More dogs do not equal more fun â&#x20AC;&#x201C; More than two dogs at any time can prove distracting to both the employees and

One employer stated: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would not hire someone who said in an interview that they hated dogs.â&#x20AC;? 4. Know when to take the dogs for a walk â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing more unprofessional than having a dog go to the bathroom while you are entertain-

Not all dogs are comfortable in such an environment. The noise and distraction of a busy business environment can be too much for some dogs making them fearful and less socialized. Dogs like this are more apt to show sign of fearful aggression by barking, panting or whining and may show signs of agitation. A front door that is constantly being opened and closed is a perfect getaway for a nervous pet. If you not sure if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pet will fit in and do not want them left alone all day, then hire a pet sitter to come into your home and take care of Fido while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at work. This way your pet will get the proper attention and exercise it so deserves. Ian owns ad operates Wags & Whiskers Dog and Cat Grooming and Puppy Kindergarten at 118 John St. North, Arnprior.

ing a prospective client. It is also quite distracting when your pet is asking to go right in the middle of an important meeting or phone call. 5. Remember that your dog should prevent distractions, not cause one â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Not all dogs are take-to-work material. A take-to-work dog is a pet that has to be comfortable around new people, places, things and sounds. A take-to-work dog is a pet that is well behaved and has been socialized, knows the basic commands and is potty trained. A take-to-work dog is free of anxiety, fears and phobias. A good candidate is a dog that can be quite and comfortable in a confined environment. 6. Even pets need a break from the monotony of the work day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Make sure that your pooch gets out as often as possible throughout the day. Make sure that, weather permitting, lunchtime is spent outdoors. Food and water should also be provided throughout the day. Your pet does not understand deadlines.

Angus Angus was brought to the shelter in the summer, he had been found in an isolated woodlot in the country. There were no houses or farms around for miles and miles, he was skin & bones and badly injured from an animal attack. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take us long to realize that he was a special boy, not only a survivor but a sweet cat that thrived under our care. Angus slowly healed from most of his injuries except for the torn ligament in one of his hind legs. After surgery and several weeks of cage rest, his leg is now healed, but he will always have a limp. Angus is now looking for his forever home, a home where he will be a cherished part of the family. He is a snuggle buddy, LOVES attention and is very affectionate. He would be best suited in a home where he can be the only cat, he tolerates dogs that are respectful. Do you have room in your heart & home for this amazing cat?!

Many thanks to the nurses and doctors at the Almonte General Hospital, for their special care given to Tom during his final days.

In loving memory of our daughter Corrine Guest Deslaurier who passed away March 23, 2003 They say memories are golden, Well, maybe that is true; We never wanted memories, We only wanted you. A million times we needed you, A million times we cried; If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still; In our hearts you hold a piece No one could ever fill. But now we know you want us To mourn for you no more, To remember the happy times Life still has much in store. Since you’ll never be forgotten We pledge to you today; A hallowed place within our hearts Is where you’ll always stay. If tears could build a stairway And heartache make a lane; We’d walk the path to heaven And bring you back again. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same; But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again. With our love always In loving memory of Mother, Dad, Sisters and Brothers

Her heart the truest in all the world, Her love the best to recall; None on earth could take her place, She is still the dearest of all. God knows how much I miss her Never shall her memory fade.
Lovingly remembered Ben & Rebecca 44 Arnprior Chronicle-Guide EMC - Thursday, March 20, 2014
