NEWS

EMC news – It was a marked difference at Arnprior Aerospace from the atmosphere two years ago. The company and members of the International Association of Machinists (IAM), Local 1542, have ratified a new six-year agreement that bodes well for one of Arnprior’s largest employers. Two years ago, the 400 workers were pessimistic about their future as the company demanded major concessions. Only a last-minute two-year deal grudgingly accepted by both sides prevented a strike that would have put a major damper on the local economy. This time talks appeared to be more cordial, thanks in part to a modified mediation process with the help of a government dispute resolution expert. Local IAM president Murray Quattrocchi reported that the agreement was reached late on March 7 and went to the membership at a 4 p.m. meeting on March 8. By the time evening rolled around the members were celebrating a long-term agreement. The office and technical component of the union voted 100 per cent in favour

of the six-year deal, while the production and maintenance workers were about 95 per cent supportive. While the workers agreed to have their wages frozen for the first four years of the deal, their benefits and pension plan will be maintained, Quattrocchi said. He said that is important because in a survey the union did in December, there was a strong message from workers to the union to “save our pensions and keep the benefits the same.” Fortunately, the company agreed, he added. The workers will get 1.5 per cent wage increases in the fifth year and two per cent in the sixth, he noted. Helping ease the sting of no wage increases early in the contract will be annual cash allotments of about $500 per worker, he added. Quattrocchi explained that the workers realize that costs needed to be kept in line if the company is to be successful in its bidding for jobs in a highly competitive industry going through some tough economic times. “It’s no good for any of us if the company doesn’t survive,” he said. “Now we’ve shown the customers we’re going to be here to help them.” See ‘COMPROMISE,’ Page 3

CORPORATE MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION (APRIL 1, 2013 – MARCH 31, 2014)

‘Compromise’ not ‘stalemate’ Continued from front

The stability ensures the company retains an experienced work force ready to complete jobs properly and efficiently, he added. Quattrocchi said Arnprior Aerospace is still working to become less reliant on work from Boeing and has begun earning jobs from companies such as Spirit and Bombardier. The wage freeze will allow the wages in some of the company’s competitors to catch up, he noted. Quattrocchi said the modified transition method of bargaining led by a Ministry of Labour dispute resolution expert was one of the reasons for a marked difference in the tone of the talks. Last time, the rancour gave both sides and the process a black eye, he admitted. This time the two sides focused on issues, including the economic factors, and generated options while the mediator kept them on track.

“It wasn’t our way or yours,� he said. “We worked together this time. “It’s a whole new way of doing things,� he added. “It worked really well.� The end result was compromise, not stalemate, he said. It helped that the employers showed good faith by working hard on jobs throughout the negotiations. “They kept their noses to the grindstone,� he said. “No yellow (protest) shirts this time.� Two years ago morale before the deal was finally reached was low as the company had initially asked workers to take an 18 per cent wage cut and other concessions. The union’s negotiating team this time was chaired by Quattrocchi and included Bev Forgie, Paul Charbonneau and Tom Lowe. A call to Arnprior Aerospace human resources director Brent Pierce had not been returned by the newspaper’s press time.

EMC news- A line of dedicated shoppers formed at the Opportunity Shop’s entrance Monday, waiting for its doors to open and reveal its newly renovated interior. The second hand store was closed since March 4 while volunteers upgraded its look. “We’ve been closed for two weeks, so we are very excited to have our volunteers back and our customers,� said volunteer manager Sandra Stemp of the downtown Arnprior store run by the Arnprior District Memorial Hospital’s auxiliary. The renovations turned out to be the perfect opportunity to rethink how the shop is put together. It has been optimized, allowing for better flow and displays expose the merchandise in a modern and uncluttered manner Volunteers put in a lot of energy and enthusiasm to make the whole

shop look new, bright and inviting, said volunteer Kathleen Unrau. “The new baby area is the nicest,� she added. “You can see everything and everybody loves the dainty, little shoes and everything. It’s really well displayed.� The community has always backed the shop with high-quality donations and it wasn’t difficult to recruit help. About 30 people stepped up and dedicated their personal time to help out with the renovations. “Volunteers never say no,� said Stemp. “Volunteers are willing and able to help out with anything.� Some of the prices have risen by a dollar or so after renovations. However, they remain the lowest in the area and it is not unusual for people to make the trek from Ottawa to find bargains, said Unrau. “Can’t beat our prices,� she said. And all proceeds go to the Arnprior hospital, Grove Nursing Home and other Arnprior Regional Health initiatives.

ADHS student chats with prime minister, astronaut EMC news – Arnprior District High School Grade 9 student Emerson Bartel has the type of pull local politicians could only dream about – one minute Emerson is bending the ear of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, the next minute he’s chatting up International Space Station Commander Chris Hadfield. On Friday, March 15, Bartel had the opportunity to hang out at the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum for an exclusive opportunity. A couple hundred area school children were invited to meet with Harper and his wife Laureen, followed up by a video link conversation with Commander Hadfield as he carries out his duties on the International Space Station more than 300 kilometres above the earth.

The event was made possible by the Ottawa chapter of the Children’s Wish Foundation. Prime Minister Harper mediated the event, which allowed several students to ask questions of Hadfield, who recently assumed command of the space station on March 13. Emerson, 14, asked Hadfield if there was anything he feared in space or that made him uncomfortable. Hadfield replied he eliminates his fear by making a plan for anything he has to do. “You prepare for it, you think about it before hand,” he told Emerson. Hadfield is also one of the world’s most popular Twitter feeds, thanks to the beautiful images of earth and life inside the space

station he Tweets regularly about. He also often Tweets with school children across the country. Bartel said he would love to visit the International Space Station because zero gravity would allow him to do things he can’t do on earth. He would be able to lift and move large objects. Following the question-and-answer session, Bartel said he was inspired by Commander Hadfield and would follow his advice. He said situations in life often make him nervous and uncomfortable. “I will take the extra step, I will be prepared,” Bartel said.

Comment on land claims with respect, tolerance: MP EMC news – Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant has praised her riding’s residents for speaking out on the Algonquin land claim issue, but asks them to do so with respect, tolerance and understanding. She addressed the issue in a news release last Friday, the day after more than 200 people attended a public meeting in Pembroke to hear details of the agreement-in-principle that will guide the finalization of the land claims over the next few years. “I see tremendous opportunity once a treaty is signed and the uncertainty these negotiations have created in our community is lifted, to move on for the good of all the people who call the upper Ottawa Valley their home,” she said. The meeting for Renfrew County residents is one of a series being held around Eastern Ontario and in Toronto. As about 80 per cent of the 117,500 acres of Crown land proposed to be transferred to the Algonquins is in RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke, it makes Renfrew County the area most directly affected by the proposed settlement. “I am pleased to note that from the outset of the land claim negotiations, the Algonquins have emphasized that together we are a community,” said Gallant. “Concerns will be worked out as friendly neighbours do. “From the start, the Algonquins made it clear private land was off the table in the negotiations as was Algonquin Park,” noted Gallant. “There is no doubt there are some contentious issues that need to be dealt with, such as access, use and harvesting, to name three … I hear the most about.” Gallant encouraged constituents to continue to contact her about their concerns. “At the end of the day we all have to live together. This is what this process is all about,” she said. She said she passed on to the government the insistence expressed by her constituents that proper public consultation is absolutely necessary before any land claim agreement is signed

on their behalf. “I made sure our federal negotiator was aware of local stakeholder concerns,” Gallant said. “These public consultation meetings are a direct result of our insistence the public must be consulted.” She said she welcomed the statement by negotiators that they will return to Renfrew County for another session to continue the consultation process in the community. “It is important to note that this process of consultation in the treaty-making process is unprecedented,” Gallant said. “In the past, treaties would be negotiated and signed, in secret and then presented to the public as a ‘done deal’. “I insisted to our Federal Minister of Aboriginal Affairs the top-down approach of the old government was not acceptable to the people of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke. To his credit, and the credit of our federal government, I was supported by the Minister and my fellow Conservative caucus members,” said Gallant. ENFORCE THE LAW

Lennox-Frontenac-Lennox-and-Addington MPP Randy Hillier is also urging his constituents to let their opinions be known on land claims. “There’s one concern that I’ve heard loud and clear from my constituents and from people even outside of the riding,” he says in a release. “There is a concern that no matter how good the agreement is, it will be deficient because the OPP may refuse to enforce the rule of law. “That’s why I sent a letter to the OPP and the negotiating teams requesting that the OPP be signatory to the Algonquin Land Claim. It’s unfortunate that many people have lost faith in the OPP’s willingness to respect the rule of law,” he said. “There are a number of public meetings scheduled for the Algonquin Land Claim; please attend one and make your concerns known.”

Swiss to battle Russia in Arnprior Continued from front

The public is welcome at the team’s practices. The Swiss players are scheduled to hit the ice at the Nick Smith Centre from 11 a.m. to noon and 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 27 and 9 to 10 a.m. and 3:30-5:30 p.m. Thursday. After taking Easter Friday off, the Swiss team will go through a light skate Saturday at 9 a.m. before the big game at 6 p.m. against Team Russia managed by former Ottawa Senators star Alexei Yashin. Arnprior recreation director Glen Arthur said that both teams play a vigorous, up tempo style of hockey, he said. “It’s nice to have some world class hockey being played here,” he said. The Swiss have been ranked as high as fourth in the world and the Russians are putting a great deal of emphasis on improving their team in preparation for the Sochi Olympics next year, said Arthur. “Fans are in for a very entertaining game.” He noted that a number of tickets are already taken, so it’s possible it will be sold out by game time. Tickets are available at the Nick Smith Centre from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. daily. A couple of special guests will be on hand for the game, with Carleton University’s women’s hockey team coach and long-time advocate for women’s hockey, Shelly Coolidge, to drop the opening puck with a former Team Canada player. The fans will also get to see some local talent. The new Arnprior Figure Skating Club synchronization team will entertain at one intermission and there will be an Arnprior Minor

Hockey demonstration at the other between period break. Each team will have two flag bearers from local schools. Students from local elementary students will have a chance to meet some of the Swiss players earlier in the week. The students from the four Arnprior elementary schools, and perhaps McNab as well, will attend the morning practices and meet with representatives of the team afterwards. The 35-person strong Team Switzerland contingent will stay at the Quality Inn in Arnprior, providing a boost to the local economy. They should be recognizable around town in their team jerseys, said Arthur. Ottawa is hosting the World championship April 2 to 9. The Swiss will take on Finland at 3:30 April 2 at Scotia Bank Place in their first game. Twelve-game ticket packages for the tournament cost $299, $249 or $194.

Meanwhile, Arnprior will be full of teenage girls April 4 to 7 when it hosts the Ontario Bantam AA Women’s Hockey championship at the Nick Smith Centre. Twelve teams will vie for the title, including an Ottawa-based team with a couple of local players. The two arenas have been booked up all day, every day, noted Arthur, noting it is another boost for the local economy.

EMC news – It appears that expert witness hired by some of the neighbours of the Braeside Quarry will have to wait until the public meeting to submit their evidence. The final decision on how the public meeting process will proceed will be unveiled at McNab-Braeside council’s planning advisory committee (PAC) meeting of April 9, but it appears there will not be time to hear the submissions during council’s scheduled review of Miller Group’s studies and the township’s peer review reports on the company’s application to expand its quarry operations. Council members wrapped up the review of the seven groups of studies in its third pre-PAC meetings March 12. The session prior to the April 9 session is expected to focus on the answering of council questions on the studies and setting of guidelines for the rest of the process. PAC chair Christine Blimkie told a full house at the March PAC meeting that council will hold the public meeting into the application,

which would include the placing of an asphalt plant in the quarry on May 6. Because of the high level of interest in the application, council is also scheduling meeting dates on May 7 and 9 at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Braeside in order to ensure there is time for everyone to have their say. Resident Sean Moore expressed concern the early May dates doesn’t give council time to properly hear the citizen-hired experts. Blimkie said council is considering giving such experts, if they register with the township, 15 minutes to speak at the public meeting. Others will be limited to five minutes. At the March 12 PAC meeting, Miller’s consultant Gary Bell and senior planner Anne Guiot of Skelton, Brumwell and Associates explained the changes to the application the company is making in response to the township’s peer reviews. Moore also made a presentation reminding council of the judge’s decision in a suit by residents against Miller’s that agreed they had suffered hardship and negative effects from the quarry operation.

EMC news – This area’s Bishop Michael Mulhall has joined area Catholics in welcoming the news that for the first time a Cardinal from the Americas has been chosen Pope. “It is with great joy and thanksgiving that the Diocese of Pembroke has received the news of the election of Pope Francis as the new Bishop of Rome and Supreme Pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church,” he said in a prepared statement last week Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina was chosen March 13 and will serve as Pope Francis I. “This is a moment of great rejoicing and an historic moment for the Church,” said Bishop Mulhall. “For the first time in history a Pope has been chosen from the Americas and we in North America feel a close affinity to this historic moment. “I join the faithful, religious and priests of the Diocese of Pembroke, and all people of good-will in offering our humble prayers for

EDITORIAL

Land claim need to be settled for all our sakes Seems as if some folks around here need a history lesson. Judging by comments in recent meetings to update the public on the Algonquin land claims negotiations as well as responses to opinion polls on the issue, there is a sentiment that there shouldn’t even be a land claim process. Hopefully, those who feel that way are in the minority. However, if it is a widespread view, it’s a sad statement on the lack of knowledge when it comes to our own history. Not only is settling the Algonquin land claim the right thing to do, the courts have made it clear Canada and Ontario have a legal obligation to do so. It’s not as if this came out of the blue. The Algonquins in Eastern Ontario have been seeking a land claim settlement since 1772, but it took the government 220 years to finally admit that they have a right to a deal like other bands across the country. Even then, it took another 15 years for talks to begin in earnest, in what most legislators agree is a long-overdue process. If the Algonquins had been able to strike a land claims deal 200 years ago before this area became populated, they would have no doubt received much more land then they appear willing to accept now. For they have stressed that they are not after private property, but Crown land on which to foster economic and cultural development. Because it’s been left for so long, it’s not an easy process. However, the uncertainty caused

by the land claim needs to be lifted with an agreement based on respect and understanding, not greed and intolerance. Nothing is etched in stone yet, but the agreement-in-principle reached to guide the talks as the two sides slowly move towards a final deal appears to be relatively fair to all concerned. Nevertheless, the devil’s in the details, so all those affected by the agreement, including the Algonquins, should remain vigilant as the negotiations continue. But they should do so armed with facts, not myths or racial bias. Anyone who thinks the Native Indians of Canada have received a ‘free ride’ should visit northern reserves to see what governments have imposed on them. The reserve system has been a disaster and Native Canadians deserve compensation that will allow them to make a fresh start. There have also been fears expressed that the Algonquins will use land awarded them to block others out of fishing areas and hunt camps. That’s misguided. Blockades and protests are more likely to happen if governments shy away from their land claim obligations. Ironically, some of those most loudly expressing fears about Native blockades are past and present members of the ‘back off government’ crowd who used blockades so frequently themselves to drive home their messages. Those who want to deny any meaningful land claim progress should back off and let an historic wrong finally be rectified.

That task is ongoing and vigilance is always required. Ottawa Valley community leaders should stop whipping up alarm over the Algonquin land claim and get a grip. The Algonquins are our neighbours.

Of course, management of the land may change, but all the cries of alarm are simply that - alarmism. As usual, the alarm is predicated on false assumptions that are paraded as fact. I am a hunter and do not feel at all threatened by the land claim, and I don’t think others should. Before fanning the flames of distrust, community leaders should get a grip on themselves.

cept the monitoring will be done by people hired by and paid for by the Miller Group. Consider well water interference as an example of this process by which the fox gets to watch the hen house. If your well goes dry, and you think that it might be caused by the overuse of ground water by the quarry operation, you need only complain to Miller’s and they will investigate. Miller will hire an expert to investigate your complaint and determine if it was caused by the quarry. If their expert finds that Miller’s is at fault they will pay to

correct the problem. There will be strong financial incentives for the expert to find that it was some natural phenomenon so that Miller does not have to pay . Of course you could still hire your own experts and sue, but the cost of that litigation would almost certainly exceed the cost of drilling a new well, thousands of dollars. What do residents of McNabBraeside get as a reward for this development? On the surface it looks like the Township would get a few thousand dollars increase in its revenue from the increased as-

sessment; but even that might be deceiving since this development would put a chill on building in the surrounding area and only a few new homes on Ridgeview would boost the assessment revenue well over the increase from this plant. McNab-Braeside Council has the right to turn this application down and if they are governing in the interests of the residents of McNab-Braeside, they should deny this application for zoning change and change to the official plan.

The special meeting to view the peer reviewers report on the afternoon of March 12 revealed that, while the reports acknowledged the risk of a loss of well water by residents, air pollution of the local air, blast damage to nearby buildings, ground water contamination and a reduction of local wildlife habitat, it assured residents that this would be monitored and damage repaired.

EMC lifestyle - It seems that repair has become a lost art. Do people darn socks anymore, repair shoes, mend holes in clothes, fix broken toys or sports equipment, or do they just toss them and buy new ones? When the transmission goes in your car, do you fix it or junk it? Economists trivialize repair and maintenance, denigrating them as low-wage service sector activities, less economically important than resource extraction and manufacturing. Environmentalists aren’t much better. They ignore repair, speaking only of “Three R’s� (reduce, reuse, recycle) in the limited context of household waste such as containers, cardboard and kitchen scraps. This perpetuates the myth that reducing waste means a poorer lifestyle - buying less, getting your clothes from the second-hand store, and spending your time flattening tin cans. In truth, the “Four R’s� should be viewed as the economy’s main engine of jobs and productivity, and the environment’s saving grace. Repair and maintenance

sustain us, mentally, physically, and economically. There is real satisfaction in fixing things. And so many jobs are provided in maintaining roads, cars, water, and sewer systems, replacing roofs and windows, fixing broken appliances, mending shoes and sharpening skates, and so forth. Our bodies need maintenance and repair as well. Right now every cell in your body is busy taking compounds apart and putting them back together. This is how life works. When an organism dies, every building block is reused. By contrast, there is an immense amount of waste in our fossil-fuel-powered industrial society. We worship the creation of new goods and despise maintenance and repair. Bureaucrats in Natural Resources Canada promote everincreasing extraction of raw materials and oppose European Union efforts to generate more economic activity per unit resource consumed, even as landfills overflow with our discarded goods. Do we really want Canada to be a global champion of waste? Must all Canadians hew wood, draw water, and mine tar

sands? Profit-seeking companies extract natural resources as fast as possible while prices are high on international markets. But as Canadian Auto Workers economist Jim Stanford points out, “the aggregate result is a vast waste of resources, and deteriorating productivity, that Canadians will sorely regret once the global commodity price boom has run its course.� Extracting natural resources, and turning them into useful manufactured goods, are essential activities. But the service sector (which includes a myriad of repair and maintenance activities) is key to productivity – getting maximum value from resources. Let’s acknowledge this and design things that can easily be repaired and whose components can be separated and returned to the resource stream when they reach the end of their useful service. We also need to identify components that can’t safely be reused – like certain plastics – and treat them as hazardous waste, rather than mixing them with lawn clippings and food scraps. Let’s erase the artificial distinctions between the resource, manufacturing, and service sec-

tors. Businesses can compete to add value throughout the product life cycle. Governments can promote product stewardship and labeling standards, classify harmful plastics as hazardous, and tax wastes. Householders can buy things that their grandchildren will want to own. Ray Anderson founded the carpet company Interface Inc. in 1994. He called himself a “radical industrialist.� He asked: “If nature designed an industrial process, what might it look like?� He created a company whose goals are “to run on renewable energy, to eliminate waste from our operations, to recycle and then reuse the materials from our products.� Let’s create an economy that works with nature by focusing on sustainability as an economic goal. And let’s add “Repair� to the “Three R’s,� recognizing it as the core of economic and ecological well-being.

Liberals continue to oppose gas tax for rural areas John Yakabuski Report from Queen’s Park

EMC lifestyle – The House returned Feb. 19 after being prorogued for 127 days and unfortunately, I must say, while there should have been a great opportunity to learn things during that period, not much has changed for the Liberals. And believe me folks, I wish I didn’t have to say “I told you so,” but sadly I must. During the Liberal Leadership convention, I wrote about how all of a sudden when they were looking for votes throughout rural Ontario, they made all kinds of commitments to improve the lives of those that live in places like Renfrew County. Kathleen Wynne, who is now the Premier, promised new respect for the people who live outside of our cities. I suppose after 10 years of ignoring us, she had little option. Eric Hoskins, now the Minister of Economic Development, Trade and Employment and one of the Liberal leadership candidates, promised that if he were elected he would share a portion of the gas tax with all municipalities. Hmm, I wonder where he got that idea? Jeff Leal, who is now Kathleen Wynne’s Minister of Rural Affairs, also committed at a meeting with the Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus held in Kingston that the Liberals would bring in legislation that would do exactly that. As I said in my December column, it’s a safe bet once their Leadership convention is over and they’ve chosen their new Premier that they’ll forget about us once again. Last Thursday, March 7, my Gas Tax Fairness for All Bill was called for debate once again in the Legislature. My Bill passed second reading by a vote of 40 to 25 with the help of some of the members of the NDP. To my disappointment, but not surprise, the Liberals once again voted against it. I believe this was a real opportunity for the new Premier to show that they’ve actually learned something while travelling through the province

during their 127-day prorogation. Clearly they have chosen to fall back into their pattern of pandering to where the votes are, instead of doing what is right. While the Bill will now be referred to the Government Agencies Committee, at this point only the Liberal government can bring it forward for further debate. We will have to wait and see what their next move is. On another matter, when the House did return, one of the issues that had been raised with us so often was holding this govern-

ment to account for the scandal surrounding the cancellation of gas plants in both Oakville and Mississauga. Our perseverance on this issue resulted in the government finally relenting and agreeing to establish a committee to study all aspects surrounding the cancellation and relocation of the gas plants. My leader Tim Hudak has appointed me to sit on that committee. At this point we expect to be questioning over 100 witnesses to ascertain what role they played in the awarding of the con-

tract, the commencement of construction, the subsequent cancellation, and deal to relocate these facilities away from Liberalheld ridings. Not only are we interviewing upwards of 100 witnesses, we are also examining over 56,000 documents and pieces of correspondence related to this scandal. When this committee is finished its work, it is our hope we will be able to answer all these questions. It will then be up to the people of Ontario to pass judgment on those responsible.

An unusual chickadee in Algonquin EMC lifestyle - Recently I spent two glorious days in Algonquin Park helping former Chief Park Naturalist Dan Strickland find Gray Jay nests. Dan has studied these northern birds for more than 40 years. Gray Jays live on stored food all winter, so they nest early to store enough for that season. We found a few females already sitting on eggs and I found an unfinished nest in a spindly Black Spruce. One never goes to Algonquin without encountering northern animals. During my visit I also met two Eastern Wolves, a Pine Marten, an Otter, a Beaver, a Great Gray Owl, a Black-backed Woodpecker, and several Boreal Chickadees. I also encountered an unusual chickadee. However, it was not unusual because of what kind of chickadee it was. There are only two species in eastern Canada: the Boreal Chickadee whose Algonquin population constitutes the most southern in Canada (the cooler climate due to the park’s elevation favours the development of their northern habitats), and the Black-capped Chickadee, which nests throughout Ontario and is far more numerous than its relative. The chickadee I met was a Black-capped and it was odd because of its colouration. It had a pied appearance, with white on the head where black should have been. Its eyes were black but its legs, normally black, were pink. This unusual fellow has been seen for two years, with some calling it partially albinistic, while others say it is partially leucistic. I wondered if it could be both. However, after discussions with friends

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way

MICHAEL RUNTZ

This chickadee’s odd appearance is due to a genetic mutation called leucism. and with Hein von Grouw, the curator of birds at British Museum of Natural History and an authority on aberrant colouration, I now know that this chickadee could not be partially albinistic. The reason - there is no such thing! Colour in the bodies and feathers of birds comes from pigments. There are several categories, melanin being a prominent one. Two types of melanin create blacks, greys, and browns. Albino animals cannot produce either melanin, which is why they are white and bear pink eyes and legs (pink due to blood). If feathers contain other types of pigments (i.e. carotenoids), some patches of bright colours can be present. But paleness can arise even if a bird can manufacture melanins. If it cannot move those pigments into its feathers, or if it completely lacks one of the two types of melanin, a bird will be pale, even white. This is called leucism.

However, very few leucistic birds are entirely white, and this little chickadee perfectly fits the bill of being partially leucistic. True albino birds seldom live long for their eyesight is so poor that they cannot forage or avoid predators adequately. If you see a white robin or hummingbird year after year, odds are high it is due to leucism, not albinism. Aberrant plumages are not only caused by genetic mutations; sometimes, as in Flamingos, diet can be involved. Regardless of how they arise, strange appearances certainly give us something to puzzle over. And in some cases, even argue over!

Two die in snowmobile crashes Crashes in Brudenell, Lyndoch and Raglan Township and Sharbot Lake claim lives EMC news - A Valley businessman is dead following a March 14 snow machine collision in Brudenell, Lyndoch and Raglan Township. Robert Hass, 47, of Admaston-Bromley was snowmobiling with friends last Thursday afternoon when his machine struck a tree. Officers and paramedics attended the scene on motorized snow vehicles where the victim was pronounced dead. Hass, who was a plumber by trade, was an avid outdoorsman. The family remains at a loss as to what may have gone wrong, noting that Hass “grew up on anything with a motor.” Hass and some close friends have a hunt camp

in the Foymount area and were showing another friend around the area at the time of the mishap.

Woman rescues dog from chilly Madawaska River Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC news – If Man’s best friend could talk it may very well call Sally Weston is Dog’s best friend. That’s because the Arnprior woman went a bit further than expected to save a pooch pal in trouble. It all began during a bitter cold weekday in early February. Weston and friend Dennis Herbert were walking their two dogs in the park between

East Side Mario’s and the Madawaska River. They stuck to the path, but the dogs were running and playing off leash. They ended up near the water’s edge, at the bottom of the falls. That’s when the little one, six-month-old Leda, a toy-breed dog with caramel-coloured ears, slipped into the freezing cold river. “I don’t think he knew there was water there,” Weston said of the dog. “He (Herbert) went into a panic.

ted. It was frozen.” DOG RECOVERED

Belanger, also a dog lover, was impressed Weston was willing to get soaking wet “up to her chest and arms” in minus 20 Celsius weather to save an animal. “The next day she was in aches and pains,” Belanger said. Almost a month later both woman and dog are completely recovered.

EMC sports – With McNabBraeside’s Taylor Collins leading the way, the Ottawa Junior Canadians have jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League’s Metro-Valley Conference championship series. Collins was on the losing side last year, when Arnprior Packers lost to Gatineau. However, it appears his chances of making the EOJHL final against the St. LawrenceRideau champion is much better this year. The Junior Canadians blanked the Valley champions

7-0 Monday in Renfrew, after a 6-4 home win Saturday. In that game, Renfrew mounted a third-period comeback with two quick goals after falling behind 4-1. However, Collins scored his second goal of the game to put Ottawa 5-3, then set up Jordan Fequet for the game’s final goal after Renfrew had made it 5-4. Former Packer Mitch Parker set up two of Ottawa’s first three goals. Casey Donar scored one of Renfrew’s goals, scoring against his former Packer teammate, Matt Couvrette, who picked up the win in net. Couvrette picked up the shutout Monday, while Col-

lins had a goal and an assist and Parker had two more helpers. Ryan Eady is wearing the C in Jesse Riopelle’s absence for Renfrew. It means Eady has captained the last two division champions with two different teams, as he was the captain of the Arnprior Packers last year. Game three was scheduled for Tuesday in Ottawa (after press deadline) with game four this Friday, March 22 in Renfrew at 8 p.m. Defending champion Casselman Vikings beat Athens Aeros 5-3 in the opening game Sunday of the Rideau-St. Lawrence Division championship series.

OFSSA ‘great experience’ for ADHS basketball Redmen John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

EMC sports – Competing with some of the top basketball teams in the province was a wonderful experience for the Arnprior District High School senior boys basketball team. “It was a fantastic experience for the kids … the whole thing from the banquet to the games,” head coach Phil Moore said of the Ontario AA senior basketball championship tournament. The team came home with an eight-foot banner to hang in the ADHS gym commemorating the first time a senior boys team from the school has made it to OFSSA since the 1970s. While the Redmen lost both their games, they were worthy representatives of Arnprior and Eastern Ontario in Richmond Hill. “I’m proud of them,” said Moore. “They handled themselves well.” He noted that for 12-seeded Arnprior to be going into the fourth quarter within 10 points of the top-ranked AA school in the province and 16th ranked in the country speaks of how well the team played in its first game.

The Arnprior McNab Braeside United Soccer Club is holding the third of three registrations for both youth and adult players Tuesday, March 26 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Nick Smith Centre. Soccer enthusiasts from aged 4 to senior citizens are welcome to sign up to play. At the second registration, one of the club’s adult directors, Bryan Terrell, noted that a second ladies team is possible this year to join with the other women’s, men’s and two oldtimers squads returning from last year. All players 19 and over are welcome to register. Youth from 4 to 18 of all skill levels can sign up for interclub house or competitive house leagues.

Christopher’s 68-29 victory. “In basketball the game’s all about match-ups … and we didn’t match up well against that team.” Moore, who was delighted to receive a signed basketball from his players, intends to return as head coach next year with five returnees from the championship team. The 37 games the team played, mostly against highly-rated competition, will serve them in good stead next season, he noted. With the teacher-government dispute over Bill 115 disrupting many school sports, “it’s been a difficult year,” said Moore. “But I’m glad that in the end it worked out for the kids.” If the team hadn’t played this year, it would have lost out on playing at OFSSA, he said. “And the bottom line is they deserved to be there.” Moore and other school athletic directors were to meet Tuesday to discuss participation and schedules for spring high school sports such as soccer, badminton and track. The Renfrew County girls rugby champion was to begin practicing this week in preparation for the Eastern Ontario championship in May. DONATIONS APPRECIATED

“We had so much support from around town,” said Moore. “It was very much appreciated.” The senior boys basketball team collected just over $1,000 at the Metro Grocery store in a grocery raffle the day before it left for OFSSA. Imelda Higginson and Dave Dallaway were the winners of the raffle. Moore also thanked Troy Murdoch Construction, Arnprior Optimist Club, Renfrew County Public School Board and many individuals for the donations.

Winter is slowly coming to an end and youʼre already starting to consider summer camps for your children. But before you make a final decision, ask them what they think!

Sweet campside treat to savour Sʼmores is one of the most popular desserts enjoyed around the campfire and at cookouts. Now you can enjoy the flavour of this delectable dessert without the fuss of toasting marshmallows over an open flame. Sʼmores history dates back to the early 20th century. While the actual recipe origin is unknown – considering most camping recipes were passed down from generation to generation – the first printed recipe for sʼmores appeared in 1927 in the Girl Scout Handbook. Sʼmores were popular campside treats because of the portability of ingredients. It was easy to pack a bag of marshmallows, a box of graham crackers and a few bars of chocolate. The combination of sticky marshmallow, smooth, rich chocolate and crunchy graham crackers provides a perfect melding of flavours. However, sʼmores werenʼt the first pairing of these ingredients. Mallomar cookies and Moonpies also featured these ideal components. For a delicious dessert, try this Frozen SʼMores Cake recipe. 4 cups vanilla ice cream 4 cups chocolate ice cream 10 or 12 graham cracker squares 1/4 cup melted butter 1/2 tablespoon sugar 1 jar of hot fudge 1 bag mini-marshmallows 2 tablespoons water Vegetable shortening

Many summer camps give kids a chance to push their abilities, to excel and to measure up to

Crush graham crackers in a zipper-lock bag or pulse in a food processor until made into crumbs. Add sugar and melted butter to the crumbs, mix and press into the bottom of a spring-form pan. Bake at 350 F for 10 minutes, or until the crust browns a bit. Soften ice cream by letting it sit out of the freezer for a few minutes. Use a spatula or spoon to spread the chocolate ice cream over the cooled graham cracker crust. Spread desired amount of fudge topping over the chocolate ice cream. Then spread the softened vanilla ice cream over the fudge layer. Coat a microwave-safe bowl with a thin layer of shortening. Add most of the marshmallows, reserving a few for garnish, and the water to the bowl. Microwave for about a minute to a minute and a half until the marshmallows are melted. Top the vanilla ice cream with the melted marshmallows. Place the cake in the freezer overnight to harden. When ready to serve, place the garnish marshmallows on top and drizzle with a little melted hot fudge. You can use a kitchen torch or a barbecue lighter to add a little browning to the garnish marshmallows to make them look like they were toasted over a fire.

EMC sports –Arnprior athlete Chanelle Fortin continues to build an impressive resume in sports. Her latest accomplishment has her qualifying for the National snowboard cross championship in British Columbia. Fortin has won the best female athlete award at Arnprior District High School the last two years. She was a key player on the ADHS senior women’s rugby team that won OFSAA silver in 2011 and then OFSAA gold in 2012. Fortin also won EOSSAA gold in snowboard four years in a row and was an OFSAA bronze and silver medalist in her senior years at ADHS. Last year, in grade 12, Fortin was invited to compete in her first ever snowboard cross event at the Ontario Championship in Collingwood. She amazingly placed fourth on her second day ever on a snowboard cross track. This year, Fortin decided to pursue her passion and compete provincially, travelling to snowboard cross (SBX) events across Ontario and Quebec, including training at a national camp at Blue Mountain on a World Cup course. She picked up FIS points, which are used to rank racers internationally, and recently won the Quebec Cup at Owl’s Head. As a result, Fortin has captured a spot to compete in the 2013 Canadian National Championships where about 100 of Canada’s top snowboard cross racers as well as some international competitors will race head to head at Big White Ski Resort at the end of the month. Snowboard cross is a competition in which a group of snowboarders (usually four) start simultaneously atop the mountain, then race to the finish line. The course is very challenging including tight banks, large jumps, rollers and steep inclines. Each rider races the course solo at first, and the fastest times determine the start order for the knock-out-rounds. The elimination rounds then advance the fastest two on to the next rounds. A fourrider final determines the medal positions. Snowboard cross is a very expensive sport to compete in as much money is required for travel to events. Unfortunately, funding only goes to well-known athletes who are considered Olympic medal hopefuls. Sport bodies report having very little money to put toward

Wellness and nutrition centre opened in Arnprior John Carter John.carter@metroland.com

EMC news – The move into the nutrition and weight management field was a natural one for Ian Stupp. Stupp, well-known in Arnprior as the co-owner of Wags and Whiskers Pet Grooming and for his Pet Talk column in the Chronicle-Guide, went back to school to become a Registered Nutritional Therapist. Armed with his new expertise in food and fitness gained in five intense years of studying and learning, he has opened the Weight Management, Wellness and Nutrition Centre out of his Arnprior home. But his pet clients needn’t fear. His work with humans will be more of a sideline, as the Stupps have no plans to close Wags and Whiskers. To avoid confusion, Ian has decided to use his middle name, Harris, when working in the nutrition field. While he decided to go back to school about five years ago, his journey into wellness and nutrition began more than 10 years ago when his father-inlaw was diagnosed with and later succumbed to cancer. Shortly after that his wife, Tena, was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. All in all five family members were diagnosed with cancer, two of whom passed away from the disease. “It was at this point in my life that my quest for optimum wellness and nutrition began,”

he says. Ian, a financial advisor, and Tena, a dental office manager, decided to get out of the rat race by moving from Ottawa to Arnprior and begin doing something they really wanted, work with pets. Wags and Whiskers was the result and it has been successfully serving the Ottawa Valley for almost 12 years. “If you get a second chance at life, do what you love … so that’s what we did,” he explains. About five years ago, Tena encouraged Ian to pursue another passion of his, wellness and nutrition. He became a member of the Canadian and American Personal Chef Associations, which led him to the Culinary Business Academy. There he earned the title of Certified Personal Chef and Culinary Inspirations Instructor. Through NESTA (National Exercise and Sports Trainers Association), Stupp went on to earn the title of Certified Personal Fitness Chef, Fitness Nutrition Coach, Kid’s Nutrition Specialist, and Lifestyle and Weight Management Specialist. Through the Spencer Institute he earned the title of Certified Food Psychology Coach with honours and Certified Wellness Coach. He also earned a diploma last year in nutritional counselling with honours through distance learning from Victoria’s Canadian Institute of Longevity Studies, which he choose for its excellent reputation. “Although my area of focus

will be weight loss and weight management, I can help anyone in areas such as wellness and nutrition and cooking and baking,” he explains. He started studying weight management when he realized that after years of focusing on his wife’s health issues he had gained 50 pounds and suffered from high body mass index, cholesterol and blood pressure. Stupp says he realized he needed to find a new way to feel good again, as he had unsuccessfully tried a variety of way to lose weight from lower calories and cutting carbohydrates to increasing protein and liquid diets. “I even became a vegetarian,” he exclaims. So after he finished his studies he became his first client. He maintains that many of the weight loss clinics with their one solution to fit all clients do not work, as about 98 per cent of all people who lose weight on a weight loss plan gain it back within two years. “The approach was all wrong,” he says, arguing that for true weight loss a person has to be individually and scientifically taught how to lose weight and keep it off, so they don’t have to stay on expensive programs. What works for one person, might not work for another, he explains. “You need to treat people in different ways … the key is to understand what you need to do.” Once he applied all that he had learned to his own situa-

Ian Harris (Stupp) became his first client when officially becoming a nutrition and wellness expert and lost 50 pounds, as his former pants indicate. tion, “voila, I lost 50 pounds,” he says. “I won’t say it was easy and it did not happen overnight. But I did lose it and I have yet to gain a pound of it back.” He realized he wasn’t alone with 30 per cent of all Canadians overweight and 50 per cent of them considered obese. It is especially alarming

that so many young people are afflicted, he says. “We are a country that is over fed and under nourished.” He also blames people’s sedentary lifestyle, confusing food labeling and false claims about food in the media. It is growing more difficult to eat healthy without expert advice, he says.

Stupp, or Harris as he goes by in the nutrition field, says he never uses the word diet with a client. “Shedding pounds is more is more of a lifestyle change,” he says. “I do not believe in embarrassing weigh-ins. I do teach how to eat healthy foods. I do teach how to eat in restaurants, on an airplane, on vacation, at a party or just at home with family. “These are disciplines that you can take with you and apply them to any situation and still enjoy food and maintain a healthy weight.” As a certified personal chef and certified personal fitness chef, he also runs Culinary Delight Personal Chef Services, which offers cooking and baking classes, a meal service, small event catering and more. He operates an in-home bake shop that produces allnatural muffins, breads, pie dough, cookies, soups and the like. “I can work with any one or any age group,” Harris says. “I can counsel young and old, couch potato or athlete.” He consults for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation and the President’s Choice grocery company. He counsel individuals parttime, either in the evenings or on Monday, his day off from Wags and Whiskers. He provides advice from his home office and does house calls.

NDP, Tories differ over how well family farms helped Patricia Leboeuf pleboeuf@metroland.com

able to feed their cattle and we (help) pay for transportation as well,” he added. It took the government a really long time to react to the situation, said Ravignat. “There are hardly any programs in place to support family farms,” he said. Interest rates are at least triple compared to a typical home mortgage. “The banks are risks averse and it makes it very difficult for family farms to grow but also to change,” said Ravignat. He believes that the government should help put legislation in place to give family farms access to reasonable costs. In order to remain competitive, farms need to be innovative and discover new ways of raising cattle or growing crops. “A lot of our farms are innovative, but there is no support coming from the federal government,” said Ravignat. The government should also support farmers when they chose to take a new direction. A new program was created by the Conservative government in December called Growing Forward 2 that may help attain certain goals. “We are talking about investments of about $3 billion in science and innovation and in opening international markets,” said Lemieux. Both the Conservative and the

NDP MP believe that attracting more young people to the industry is the future of farming. “If not, we are going to lose a significant part of our economy,” said Ravignat. AID DEADLINE EXTENDED

It was announced last Friday that the deadline for cattlemen to submit drought-related compensation applications to Agricorp has been extended to June 14. The provincial and federal governments announced that the deadline to transport forage under the Canada Ontario Forage Livestock Transportation Assistance Initiative has been extended by 11 weeks. Farmers now have until June 1 to transport forage, and until June 14 to submit their forms. Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant praised local agricultural leaders for making sure she and government officials were aware of concerns with the program. The initiative announced on Dec. 14 makes almost $2.4 million available to help affected livestock producers in designated drought areas of eastern and southwest Ontario, including Renfrew County, purchase feed for their breeding herds over winter. For further information regarding details of the initiative and how to apply, visit www.agricorp.com.

EMC lifestyle - A sold-out crowd of eager tasters enjoyed dishes prepared by more than 20 local farmers, gardeners, bakers and chefs at the Ottawa Valley Food Co-op’s inaugural annual ‘Feast of the Farms’ March 9 in Eganville. The menu of tapas style servings showcased the quality and variety of local foods available from the food co-op’s farmer/producer members. Imaginative dishes included Dobson Farms and Rainbow Heritage Garden’s grass fed beef and bean chili, organic lamb empanadas from Donegal Heritage Farm, Red Canoe Cafe & Bakery wood-fired artisanal breads, and Pizza Farm goat curry pizza. Meat lovers enjoyed the sausage board with eight varieties of local lamb, beef or pork sausage as well as spareribs, steak, roast beef, pork ragu and rabbit stew. The Ottawa Valley Food Co-op was founded in 2008. Its aim is to provide a marketing network in the Ottawa Valley for locally grown or processed foods and other locally made products through an internetbased marketplace and ordering system at www. ottawavalleyfood.org. Consumers of the co-op pay $50 for a lifetime membership and are then able to order on line monthly. Pick-up locations range from Arnprior, Renfrew, Deep River, Barry’s Bay, Eganville and Petawawa.

EMC news - Family farms are not getting enough support from the federal Conservative government, according Mathieu Ravignat, NDP’s MP for the Pontiac. “There needs to be a clear dedication from the government to protect this industry and protect the community aspect that we have,” he said. According to Statistic Canada, 22,000 family farms have been lost since 2006. “What we see here is a trend in the Conservative government to ignore family farms and to perhaps support larger industrial farms, particularly from the west,” he said. Pierre Lemieux, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Agriculture and Conservative MP for the riding of Glengarry-Prescott-Russell, does not believe this to be true. “What’s happening is that agriculture is doing very well right now and farmers want to expand their operation,” he said. “So they are buying the farms beside them. “They are still family farmers, just bigger family farms,” he added. The net cash income for Canadian farmers increased 14 per cent in 2012. The average total income is $127,000 and the average network per form is $1.8 million. He believes that farmers do better when there is a bigger market in which to sell their products.

“To give our farmers an advantage, we want to put forward a free trade agreement so that their stuff doesn’t get taxed right at the far end as it is going into this other country,” said Lemieux. The NDP prefers to take a more protective approach. “Family farms are particularly a mainstay of our community and it’s important to make the point that they are part of our heritage and we have to do more to support them,” said Ravignat. The summer drought has been a point of contention for farmers across Ontario and the Pontiac. “Although the drought affected many, many regions of Ontario early in the summer when the harvest came in not that many regions were adversely affected in a dramatic way,” Lemieux said. Other ridings such as Renfrew– Nipissing–Pembroke have not recovered as well, but funding though Agrecovery and HayEast 2012 has been provided, he said. HayEast was initiated by the Mennonite Disaster Service. Farmers from the West and South Ontario have gathered several thousands bales of hay to send to their eastern compatriots in need. The high cost of transportation was offset by the recipient farmers, various donators and the government. “We put in place a dollar per dollar matching grant to help farming to raise money to help farmers to be

Garage Band Rock Show puts spotlight on young musicians Sydney Ross Co-op Student

EMC The Main Street School of Music hosted its third annual Garage Band Rock Show on March 8. The show was a large success as family, friends and the public gathered to watch the bands perform. Emcee hosts Bob Martin and Raven Barr introduced the first act of ‘SING’, a choir of both young and old who performed a cover of Africa by Toto. The all-drums 2 Against 3 was next the next group performing, as Darius Moghaddam, Michaela Koster, and Jason Koster all played the drums together. Blank Canvas was the next band to perform. Band members Raymond Clarke, Taylor Machan, Ross McKinnon, Darius Moghaddam and Sydney Ross played various rock covers of songs by bands such as Green Day, The Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Foo Fighters. Mountain Creek featuring members James Carlson, Jason Koster, Cassidy Whitelock and Randy Young (the band’s mentor) were up next, performing various country songs originally by bands such as The Wreckers. Slightly Out of Tune added laughter along with funk to the show. Band members Adam Dutfield, Al Lancaster, Darius Moghaddam, Jessica Wood and Mark Welsford (the band’s mentor) performed a variety of song covers by bands such as Live, Radio-

head and Motorhead. The Big Nasties completed the show. Band members Adam Hrkach, Sarah Kidney, Jason Koster, Stephen Koster and Bob Martin (the band’s mentor) played a wide variety of song covers from Carrie Underwood to Led Zeppelin. Main Street’s Barb Martin thanks the following for their help prior and during the rock show: Kevin Barr, Adam Dutfield, Adam Hrkach, James Hrkach, Jason Koster, Michaela Koster, Al Lancaster, Bob Martin, Rob McLean, Darius Moghaddam, and Mark Welsford. See all the bands next at ‘The Show’ taking place in June or at PriorPalooza June 8 in Robert Simpson Park.

Celebrating the success of the concert, from left in front, are James Hrkach, Adam Dutfield, and Jason Coster; and in back, Kevin Barr, Darius Moghaddam, Michaela Coster, Barb Martin, Adam Dutfield, Rob MacLean, Bob Martin and Al Lancaster.

Mary’s imagines becoming angel to aid starving Armenians in Arnprior EMC lifestyle - At an early age, I developed an ability that I thought at the time saved me from many a disappointment, worry and even heartache, and put me in another world. It took a lot of patience, and a great deal of practice, and much trial-and-error, but when I had perfected the exercise, it gave me great satisfaction and peace of mind. Through deep concentration, and forcing my mind away from an unpleasant situation, I was able to move my thoughts from the source of my anguish, and into a more pleasant place. This time of year, many were the times I had to put into practice this talent I had developed. The ice was gone out of the Bonnechere and the current was fast, and the mud pout could be seen from the shore. The three brothers had been watching the spring break-up for weeks, and now the time had finally come. I hated the very thought of the method used by the brothers to catch the fish. Using spears, some of which were made from a pitchfork from the barn, they straddled an old tree that had fallen across the river at a narrow point, and stabbed them without mercy. When the mud pout became part of our supper, Mother, aware of my squeamish stomach, would put a slice of meat on my plate, or let me have scrambled eggs. And as I sat at the supper table, I would put into place my talent. I would picture in my mind pieces of bologna, my very favourite treat, sitting on the platter of mud pout in front of me. And even when my hateful brother Emerson would smack his lips for my benefit, I was able to change in my mind, the picture of the mud pout and turn it into bologna. This talent was put to good use at the Northcote School on more than one occasion too. If bad Marguirite was getting on my nerves, which happened at least once a day, I would picture her in my mind with homemade flour bag underwear under her skirt.

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

She made sure every girl at the Northcote School knew that her underpinnings came from Walker’s Store in Renfrew. I got so good at this trick of imagination, that I could even see Pride of the Valley written across her seat! Emerson often said I was scared of my own shadow, and that wasn’t all that far from the truth. In the dark of night, in my bed, the sounds in the country terrified me. The whippoorwills in the distance making their eerie cries, the wolves howling as they skirted the barnyard looking for their next meal, and the old house cracking from the frost in the dead of winter were all sounds that kept sleep at bay. Then I would call on this special talent I had developed over time. When these sounds surrounded me in my bed, I would force my mind’s eye to a street corner in Renfrew, to see the Salvation Army band playing and singing their rousing hymns. I would be able to block out the frightening sounds around me, and sleep would come. This escape talent came to good use on Sundays too. We sat in the front pew at church. Our minister, a giant of a man, would come swooping down the aisle and climb into the little cubicle raised above the floor, scanning the congregation before he said a word. I was sure he was singling me out with his eyes, and knew

Every Friday afternoon without fail, Miss Crosby read from a storybook she would bring to the Northcote School. There was no such thing as a library at the one-room schoolhouse back in the ’30s. I would sit enthralled ... not so much with the story, but from the sound of Miss Crosby’s sweet voice as she read from the book. She read with such inflection, you could picture yourself right inside the story. And it was then I would again transport my mind to another place. I would picture myself all grown up, far away from Northcote and the one-room schoolhouse. In my mind’s eye I would be standing before great crowds of people, and I would be telling stories. The stories wouldn’t come from a book but would be of my own creation. Such were the unachievable dreams of a young child of the ’30s. All made possible through the simple act of imagination.

every sin I had committed since the Sunday before. His thundering voice shook the rafters, and his enormous surplus billowed out as he waved his arms, looking for all the world like a large black bird. That’s when I would look over his head to a spot on the blue painted wall. I would pretend I was an angel, and my mission in life, in my mind, was to help the starving Armenians. These were the people Mother always said we took the food right out of their mouths if we didn’t eat everything on our plates. I thought they lived in Arnprior. So when I took on the role in my mind’s eye of this little floating angel high in our church, I pictured myself doing good deeds. The fear of the minister vanished.

humans exposed to tobacco smoke, dogs are also susceptible to the negative health effects of second-hand-smoke. Long-nosed breeds such as collies are at higher risk of developing nasal tumours than short-nosed breeds due to carcinogens collecting in their nasal passages. NASAL TUMOURS

IAN STUPP delphia in the ‘60s revealed an increased risk of the tonsils in city dogs. Dogs living in Boston and Philadelphia were also found to have higher rates of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) than those that lived in suburban areas. Pesticides and herbicides: A 2012 study that examined the application of lawn care products found that dogs that were exposed to professionally applied lawn care products had a 70 per cent increased risk of developing canine malignant lymphoma. Chemicals in lawn care products have also been linked to bladder cancer in dogs in several influential studies over the past 25 years. Second-hand-smoke: Like

Although they rarely develop lung cancer, dogs that develop nasal tumours seldom survive more than one year after diagnoses. Short-and medium-nosed dog breeds have higher rates of lung cancer because their shorter noses don’t trap carcinogens found in secondhand smoke, allowing the inhaled smoke to travel to their lungs. Not only dogs, but also cats, birds, and any other pets we share our homes and environment with are exposed to the same chemicals we come into contact with every day.

EMC lifestyle – When the Environmental Working Group tested pets in 2008, dogs and cats tested positive for 48 out of 70 industrial chemicals. Some dog owners are said to resemble their pets, but research shows that dogs and owners who share the same chemical exposures also share the diseases. Asbestos, industry, air pollution, pesticides and herbicides and second-hand-smoke are affecting the health of our pets. Asbestos: In the late ‘80s dogs alerted researchers to the dangers of asbestos when dog owners who worked with asbestos brought asbestos fibers home on their work clothes. These exposed dogs began developing mesothelioma (a lung disease) at eight times the normal rate. Chrysotil asbestos fibers were also found in the dog’s lungs. Industry: a large 1981 study of 8,760 dogs at 13 veterinary teaching hospitals in Canada and the U.S. found that dogs that lived in industrial areas were more likely to die of bladder cancer. Carcinogens from industrial operations were suspected as a key factor for the development of this type of cancer. Air pollution: Studies in England in the ‘30s and Phila-
