Hockey with Heart

Scott Campbell/Metroland

Charlene Doherty and Ann Henry of the Heart and Stroke Foundation, along with recreation director Glenn Arthur, are quite pleased with the seventh annual Hockey for Heart’s success last weekend. “It’s the guys and girls giving their weekend for this,â€? Arthur said. The tournament has raised $10,000 for defibrillators – the device that once saved Arthur’s life - to be placed in Ottawa Valley public facilities. There were also sports merchandise from the late Jean BĂŠliveau to the 2014 Canadian Olympic Gold medal team. Arthur noted that 20 per cent went to Heart and Stroke.

Yes to a “reasonable� expansion of the Braeside Quarry operation, but no to a permanent asphalt plant. That was reiterated several times as the Ontario Municipal Board hearing moved from the Miller Paving’s appeal to that of the neighbours late last week. The four-week hearing chaired by Marc Denhez, was scheduled to wrap up this Friday, March 27 with the final day of testimony in the McNab-Braeside council chambers. Miller’s appeal of township council’s rejection of the company request to locate an asphalt plant in the quarry and defense of its extraction expansion plans dominated the first dozen days of the hearing. The company argued that as long as it follows provincial rules, it should be allowed to expand operations and locate an asphalt plant in the quarry. On the other hand, residents argue that they deserve more protection from the effects of the industrial

Biggest Little

operation than they have received so far. The residents’ appeal began in earnest Thursday, March 19 as blasting expert Dr. Sam Kiger, hydrogeologist Wilf Ruland and quarry neighbour Mike Battiston took the stand. On Friday, the hearing heard the testimony of Norma Moore, a leader in the neighbours’ resistance to the expansion. Both Ruland and Moore were adamant that a permanent asphalt plant shouldn’t be allowed in the quarry because of its proximity to the homes in the area and potential effect on the alvar, wetlands and nearby significant wildlife habitat. Ruland argued that Miller’s water monitoring plans are insufficient and there is no way to ensure contaminated water from the plant won’t flow into nearby wetlands or neighbours’ properties. The limited water testing when the temporary asphalt plant was in operation showed worrisome levels of contaminants, he maintained. See QUARRY, page 2

ARNPRIOR/RENFREW

Town seeks public input into strategic plan refresh Arnprior officials are encouraging residents to fill out a survey to help guide the creating of a ‘refreshed’ strategic plan for the town. In 2013 Council adopted the Town of Arnprior’s Strategic Plan which outlined the Town’s vision for

2017, long term objectives to reach the vision, core values and seven key priority areas for the years 2013 to 2017. The Town has been successfully implementing the plan over the past two years and is now looking to re-

fresh the plan and provide direction for the next five years. Survey stops April 2

The Town has once again engaged the Queen’s School of Busi-

ness’ Executive Decision Centre to help facilitate the Strategic Plan refresh which will engage council, staff and residents. One way in which the public may participate is by completing a brief online survey. “Everyone is encouraged to take part

in this survey as this is your opportunity to help shape the Town’s strategic direction,� says the town. The survey will be available until 4 p.m. on April 2. The survey link is http:// www.surveygizmo.com/s3/2054666/ Strategic-Plan-Refresh.

Quarry expansion, but no asphalt plant in Braeside: opponent He concluded that Miller has done enough work to justify a quarry expansion but not enough for the asphalt plant. “I never said I don’t want the quarry to expand, but to expand safely so we can live there and enjoy our property,� said Moore. “We don’t want to close the quarry, but (have it) operate in a reasonable way.� But on the matter of an asphalt plant, “absolutely not,� she said, explaining she was worried about its effects on the health of the children and people with chronic ailments in the area. If a plant is built, residents in the area will be “stuck,� unable to sell their homes and move, she maintained. The Carmichael Sideroad resident explained how the emissions, noise, odor and dust from the temporary asphalt plant and the quarry operation had adversely affected her health and enjoyment of her property. John Ewart, providing the cross-examination for Miller, argued that a state-of-the-art permanent plant will be much improved over the admittedly old temporary plant. On the urging of the chairman, the company agreed to provide an expert witness this week to explain how the proposed plant would be different. Moore said she had been told by people in the industry that while the moving parts of the plant would be run by electricity, there would still be emissions because of a “large amount� of other fuel needed to heat the bitumen. She also detailed her many calls and letters of complaint to the ministry and township about the quarry operation. Unfortunately, little changed and Miller did not respond in any concrete way, she said. Ewart caused a stir in the room when he suggested that there was no action taken on

Miller Group is fighting residents of Braeside at the Ontario Municipal Board to expand its operation. her complaints because “there was nothing to be addressed.â€? He noted that when Moore and others moved to the area they must have realized that the quarry was operating there. Moore also expressed concern that the Aggregate Resources Act process allows the site plan to be modified without residents being notified if an area is zoned and licensed for extraction as Miller wants all its land to be. “If that’s the case, rare habitat will be gone forever,â€? she said. Ewart stressed that there are plans in place to protect the wetlands and alvar. “As far as I’m concerned, they’re not sufficient,â€? said Moore. As for the plant adhering to provincial regulations, “I’m more worried about my regulations,â€? she said. “I have to live there.â€? Battiston, the residents’ first lay witnesses, detailed how the temporary asphalt plant and the dust from the quarry effected enjoyment of his property. The residents’ blasting expert, Dr. Sam Kiger from Missouri, contended that continued blasting, especially as it got closer to homes, would cause damage to property.  The hearing focused on planning matters in the early

part of last week. County planner Bruce Howarth reported on the application and peer review process on Monday, March 16. In cross-examination, it was noted that the provincial Ministry of Environment has downloaded noise, dust and odour controls to the municipalities and given aggregate industries the task of reporting on their own sites. The suggestion was that the downloading makes it more difficult to guarantee proper enforcement. Haworth agreed the McNab-Braeside Official Plan has a provision that there should be a distance of 300 metres from a class three industry to a residential property line. The setback issue and whether it should be to residents’ property lines or their homes has been raised several times during the hearing. BUFFER EXPANDED

After Haworth’s crossexamination ended, Miller’s planner Gary Bell took the stand and surprised many in the audience by announcing that the proposed site for the asphalt plant and staging area is being modified so that the Golf Club Road and Usborne Street residents would all have at least a 300-metre buffer, which wasn’t the case earlier. Bell assured the hearing that the studies undertaken regarding the plant and its containment and safety aspects are still relevant despite the alteration. Ruland suggested the change was a last-minute bid to sway the appeal, and charged there are too many unanswered questions and flaws for it to change opposition to the plant. Bell stressed that the quarry and plant will not have adverse effects because they will operate according to provincial standards and regulations, no matter what the rate of production.

However, cross-examination argued that allowing the extraction of a maximum of a million tonnes of aggregate a year would increase the amount of drilling, blasting and crushing emissions as well as the amount of truck traffic in and out of the quarry. It was noted that if the production is 155,000 tonnes a year (the present rate), the quarry will last for 187 years, but if it rises to one million a year, its life expectancy is 29 years. In her cross-examination of Bell on March 18, Janet Bradley, representing the township, suggested the crux of the matter is to ensure there are appro-

priate designs, buffers and setbacks at the quarry to protect area residents. Often distance is the only effective way to mitigate the effects of industry on its neighbours, she said (the new township council modified the zoning in January to extend the setback from 180 metres to a minimum of 300 metres from the quarry operation). Miller argued that the 300metre setback is appropriate for the asphalt plant, but not necessarily for extraction. Bradley contended buffers should be on the properties of the parties needing it for their operations (not extending into people’s back yards), but Bell

said that isn’t always the case. With compatibility a major factor, having the quarry surrounded by a residential area makes for a unique and difficult decision for planners, Bradley suggested. Bell agreed that it did add complications, but there are other quarries in similar circumstances. He said that while the provincial government agrees that people’s property should be protected, it also wants to ensure there is a long-term supply of aggregate. It’s a matter of balance, he suggested. The hearing is scheduled to wrap up with a session starting at 10 a.m. Friday.

McNab Days is back on track. But some changes may be in store. Coun. Heather Lang told council March 13 that a “thoroughly enjoyable meeting� with representatives from the Scottish Festival and River Drive has cleared the air and got everyone working together on this year’s event. “Everyone was pumped and very willing to take part in how it is going to grow in the future,� she said. Lang, John Brady of the River Drive and Mackie McLaren and Boyd and Rose MacLaren of the Scottish Festival met with the township recreation committee March 4 to discuss the future of McNab Days. The meeting alleviated some concerns prompted by a suggestion that the name of the festival be changed to include heritage in the title. Recreation committee chair Jason Marshall

agreed it was a “very good meeting� and that the group was pleased to be involved in discussions on how to improve the event. Brady and the MacLarens were assured that McNab-Braeside council supports retaining the festival and township staff would provide help as in past years. The Scottish Festival on the Waba Museum grounds will help launch McNab Days on June 21 this year. Brady outlined some possible changes to the River Drive event and said he’d like to form a small core group to organize it and a larger group to run it June 27. Lang shared her vision of how the festival should evolve and said it is a good time for all involved make suggestions regarding changes in direction. All agreed that it is time McNab Days be re-energized. After the committee hears back from the River Drive and Scottish Festival organizers, it will provide a report on the future of McNab Days to council.

Lunar eclipse to be seen April 4 People in the Upper Ottawa Valley will be able to see about half an hour of a lunar eclipse in the early morning of Saturday, April 4. The total eclipse of the moon happens too late to be seen in entirety in Ottawa, Arnprior and area, but it can be seen as it starts at 5:03 a.m. The moon will become red as the earth

gets between the sun and moon. The local sighting will end shortly after 6:30 as the moon slips below the horizon. Astronomers suggest about 6:32 a.m. when the moon is close to the horizon is the best time to view the eclipse. The eclipse continues on until 10:58 a.m. for a total time of five hours and 55 minutes.

Five major prizes were up for grabs at the Braeside and White Lake winter carnivals last month. About 350 ballots were entered into the free draws. One of two remote control airplanes from Home Hardware Arnprior is presented to Glenn Barr, left, by McNabBraeside recreation director Geoff Patterson.

Do you know a

psychotherapist?

If so, you may be interested to learn that psychotherapists will soon become a regulated profession in Ontario. Anyone using the title psychotherapist (or an abbreviation) or claiming to be qualified to practise as a psychotherapist, must be regulated.

McNab-Braeside council has agreed that Ryan Marcellus should be one of those representing the township in negotiations with Arnprior to work out a long-term recreation user agreement. “It’s a tremendous choice,” said Mayor Tom Peckett, as council endorsed the recommendation of its recreation committee at the March 13 meeting Marcellus is a former parttime recreation director for the township and has been a long-time member of its recreation committee. Committee chair Jason Marshall said members felt that Marcellus was the obvious choice to be included if a joint recreation committee is established by Arnprior and McNabBraeside to work out a longer term recreation deal to take over once the interim 18-month agreement expires. “If a joint committee is being formed we’d like to see Ryan on it,” he said. Council agreed that Marcellus has “invaluable experience” in the matter. As council has indicated it would like to have long-term recreation and library deals in place in the near future, the recreation committee “is helping to initiate the process by identifying the players involved,” council was told.

Practitioners of psychotherapy will need to join the new College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), or be registered with another regulatory college whose members can practise psychotherapy.* CRPO s regulatory authority comes from the Psychotherapy Act passed by the Ontario legislature in 2007. Our mandate will be to regulate psychotherapists in the public interest, striving to ensure competent and ethical practice.

For more information, visit crpo.ca *Other professions whose members can practise psychotherapy are: nurses, occupational therapists, physicians, psychologists and social workers.

is something so revealing, intriguing and potentially challenging, we all have to deal with at one point or another in our lifetime. If we talk about digestion, we commonly refer to our physical digestion of food, which can involve challenges like heartburn or acid reflux, bloating, gas and indigestion, gastric ulcers with burning and pain, constipation, diarrhea, IBS, colitis, crohn’s and more. Now, it would be easy, if food would be the only culprit to change in order to heal our digestive system again. But unfortunately it’s not that easy. Many people take over the counter or presciption drugs to keep the symptoms at bay. Some with success, others are able to reduce their symptoms, but many have reached a point where nothing works. That’s where our Heilkunst treatment comes to the rescue. Our digestive process is one of the most interconnected systems within our body. Many organs are involved, all of which intertwined in the process of breaking down an external substance our food - into something that our body can absorb and benefit from internally - actually something that keeps us alive and thriving. But digestion has also another side - an emotional side. We “digest” ideas and feelings. The “digestion” of stress in our day and age is one of the most challenging ones many people are faced with. Have you ever wondered why you can’t stop your heartburn by just changing your eating habits? Why you suffer from chronic constipation? Why you are prone to recurrent ulcers? Or why you are sentenced with crohn’s or colitis? Nothing is fair in life. And if you just have a little hope left, give yourself a nudge and try our treatment. Healing digestive issues has become one of my specialties over the last decade. As part of our Heilkunst treatment, we will investigate and reveal the true cause of your condition by looking at your hereditary influences, life style habits, nutritional deficiencies, toxic levels, stresses, upsets and traumas, as well as mental and emotional challenges and if needed your blood in form of our Live Blood Analysis.

Arklan, which took over the job March 18, was the lowest of four bidders. The contract runs for almost five years, ending on Dec. 31, 2019. Coun. Ted Strike explained that the special meeting was needed because it was agreed at the regular March 9 meeting that the town should get a legal opinion before deciding on the contract. The advice was needed because Arklan is a subcontractor of Topps Waste Management, the company that has the residential waste contract in town. However, it was determined the relationship did not present a reason for council to reject the bid.

MINIMIZE THE FINAL INCOME TAX LIABILITY OF YOUR ESTATE proper planning, a deceased’s “ Without income tax liability could be significant Did you know that approximately 80% of Canadians will donate to a charity during their lifetime? However, it is estimated that less than 10% will include a gift to a registered charity in their Will.

This is one of a series of several articles intended to build awareness about the impact of legacy giving to Forever CHEO. In addition to the spiritual and community benefits of gifting to a registered charity, naming a registered charity as a beneficiary in your Will can also be an effective way to minimize the final income tax liability

of an estate. Without proper planning, a deceased’s income tax liability could be significant. Various income inclusions at the time of death, such as deemed capital gains and the fair market value of an RRSP can result in a higher than expected estate income tax liability given Canada’s graduated income tax rates.

Gifts to Forever CHEO can include cash legacies, bequests of real or personal property, securities, life insurance proceeds and all or part of the residue of the estate. All of these gifts can potentially generate tax credits available to reduce an estate’s income tax liability. Additionally, the gifting of certain types of capital property to Forever CHEO under the terms of a Will may avoid capital gains but still maximize the tax credits available from such a gift.

3D printing provides ADHS students with model making education 3D printers, thanks to an anonymous alumnus who made the very generous donation of the printer to the school. Fellowes and Madawaska Valley District high school are the others. At Fellowes the 3-D printer, a Makerbot model, is part of the Communications Technology program. The printer showed up just in time for semester two and students looking to enrol in the program didn’t even know they would have access to this brand new technology. Grade 12 Fellowes students Ryan Roy and Alex Kenney shared their knowledge and experience with the school’s 3-D printer with the school board on March 3. Both students were surprisingly thrilled upon learning the school was going to have the new technology. Ryan signed PROUDLY CANADIAN up for Communication Technology to learn more about computer animation and was surprised to find a 3-D printer in his classroom. Alex had a bit more advance notice. “I found out during first semester exams and was very exBLVD., ARNPRIOR cited,” he said.

The printing press is largely accepted as one of the most important inventions in the history of humankind. The printer led to the ability to mass produce the written word and share huge amounts of information quickly and in large numbers. Imagine what the future will hold now that Renfrew County public school board students can print in 3-D. Arnprior District High School is one of three county schools with

Grade 12 student Ryan Roy poses with his unpainted Minion model with the 3-D generated model appearing on the computer screen. Both students had read about 3-D printers and were very interested in the 21st Century technology. Alex and Ryan have been working with the printer and the three different computer software programs necessary to use the device, since January. “Learning takes lots of patience,” Ryan said. The students spent their first two weeks in the classroom just learning how to manipulate the software. Once they had a basic understanding of the software, they were able to start creating. The printer itself is relatively small (although some models can be quite large), about two-and-a-half square feet. The printer uses a corn-based, bio-degradable plastic (there are different plastic options the machine

can use), fed into the machine from a spool. The printer heats the plastic to 215 degrees Fahrenheit to melt it and then, using the plastic and the computer created model, starts building the model on a small bed from the ground up. Ryan designed and built an about six-inch tall Minion, one of the little creatures from the movie Despicable Me. He said it took him about three and a half hours to build but that it’s “a pretty basic model.” If the printer was set to high detail, it could take as much as a full day to create the model. Alex has built some decorative throwing stars. He is currently working on building a model Tie fighter spaceship from the Star Wars movies. Other students have built cell phone cases, key chains and even a

small, working catapult. “Once I learn to use the software better, we’ll be able to make more intricate stuff,” Ryan said. So far the students have built projects the printer can create in one unit. With further practice and training students will be able to build larger models by creating the models in several parts, having the printer make each part separately and then combining all the parts into one model. Communication technology teacher David Middlemiss says the printer cost the school about $3,000. The spool of plastic costs about $35. He said Ryan’s Minion probably cost less than $2 in product to build. “For us, it’s relatively cost effective,” Middlemiss said.

Digging for treasures

SCOTT CAMPBELL/METROLAND

St. Patrick’s Day offered up some hidden treasures for kids who joined Arnprior Public Library’s March break Archaeology program of ‘Discovery Dig’. Organizer Carolyn Swayze said they had a group of 19 children aged five to seven in the morning and an older group in the afternoon. The kids were quite thrilled to be able to go through some dirt look for treasures. Courtney Cameron was the special guest as she has been in the archaeology field since 1997 and been consulting since 2000. Cameron has dug across the country and in Iceland in historic sites that were up to 13,000 years old. After getting their hands dirty, the kids cleaned off their artifacts – toy car for one – and started to piece them together.

EDITORIAL

The striking difference between Madawaska Shores and Miller

T

he two controversial proposals in McNab-Braeside share similar ends, but their means could not be any more different. And only one deserves recognition from anyone with the best interests of the whole at heart. A recreation vehicle park and campsite near White Lake and an expanded quarry and asphalt plant in Braeside: while at opposite ends of the township, both have proponents who feel strongly about the viablity. Both want to provide arguably a needed service to the public; whether it be for visitors and locals in RVs or materials for the roads we all use. They share - almost at a moral level - a belief that they have progress and the greater good on their side. Opponents need only see the light, they would insist. Obviously profit is a motivator, but the proponents are quick to point out the municipality would get its fair share. However, let’s not forget that one proponent is a small, locally owned business. The other is a huge multinational corporation. The

former, Madawaska Shores, offers a face and accessible contact person who, in Bob Wachna, offers answers to the best of his ability. The latter, The Miller Group, has a low-profile group of decision-makers that rarely makes a move without having lawyers give the go ahead. Wachna is willing to give the RV park his undivided attention, even suggesting he will move to the township if it is approved. It’s as much a dream for him as it is a business venture. Miller Group leaders don’t live anywhere near this community and only appear when business issues come up. The former often reiterates his desire to work with the community to build a business that will make everyone in the township proud. Even skeptics who would say those are ‘just words’ have to admit words are better than what the latter offers. Miller lives up to its legal expectations, that’s it. Would the former push forward to the point of an Ontario Municipal Board hearing? Miller has no qualms about going down that road. Let’s hope the differences remain.

LETTER

Township council must listen to RV park opponents To the Editor: My comfort zone is in being an observer and trying my best to see every side of an issue. However, I’m starting to realize that when I take exception to other people’s public comments that totally lack any insight or critical thought I actually feel a need to voice my own thoughts. Much was made last week in the paper (a public forum) about McNab-Braeside and how the issues (many) at hand are being dealt with by our council. Some of the comments by councillors actually reflect on decisions made by the previous council – the reason they were turfed. We are not a township divided. We are ru-

ral living people who enjoy the benefits that we have in our township and surroundings and our very varied small communities in this township. Each one has its unique issues and this is what we are entrusting our council to consider every single time they meet together to decide what might be the best way to help us grow together. By not actually listening and paying lip service to our concerns - “Believe it or not, there are people who are in favour of it� (RV park) Tom Peckett - he told those who showed up to express their opposition to the plan or clarifying what groups may actually be in favour of council plans: i.e. Do they actually live here and who/where are they now? This does not do justice to their elected position.

Councillor Mark Mackenzie had a point, sort of, about the RV park opponents reaching out to “help� the Braeside Quarry group with their OMB hearings. Unfortunately, the Ontario Municipal Board route is one that the previous council forced upon a few groups as they arbitrarily made decisions without regard to the actual people

affected by them. Ask anyone in Waba what happened with our petition to stop the building of storage sheds at the creek, 100 signatures, that represents pretty much every person in Waba, and it was ignored. So, council of McNab-Braeside, I would strongly suggest that you are here to actually represent your residents. Personal agendas and power trips are not part of the job description.

We all have sayings we live by. Some influence how people treat us: “Do unto others as they would do unto you.� Some insight a work ethic: “Doing nothing is very tiring because you can’t stop to take a break.� Some on a grand scale: “Be the change you want-to see in the world.� That last one would be one I’ve adopted, except I’ve always said it in my own way – “Be what you want the world to become.� Spinoffs of that include, “Treat people fair and with respect (even if they have a mind like a sack of sledge hammers).� But the best feeling you can have or give is to do a good deed. Do more a day if you can, people will not forget. The drive-thru at McDonald’s I became a favourite target of Chub’s. He paid ahead for me. Thanks. Larry did, too. I could never get myself in a position to pay back ... yet.

Still carts from Metro, Giant Tiger losing their way by a couple of blocks. I’d pick ‘em up and return them. They’re worth up to $300 and it’s actually illegal to take them off store property. Crossing the street, a taxi merging, parking spots, opening doors for someone. I can vouch for a couple of good Samaritans on Haig Street, who removed snow from a driveway from a night shift person and were never seen, like the tooth fairy. Finally the surprise, great neighbours who performed good deeds for people who least expected it. I do at least one good deed a day, and sometimes more. I challenge everyone to do at least one good deed a day, or more. “Lead by example.� It will make a nice warm feeling to those who receive and those who give. It will make the cold winter seem warmer.

Dying with dignity: what would you do? To the Editor: Nine Supreme Court Judges have voted unanimously (9-0) to lift the ban on doctor assisted suicide making it legal one year from now, sometime in February 2016. Strict conditions were laid down under which this procedure will be permitted and our esteem Members of Parliament have one year to amend, clarify or improve upon the ruling (the ruling cannot be changed) with a new law otherwise the ruling becomes law as laid down by the judges. Good luck with that, politicians. The courts relied on section 7 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms which states that “everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person�. By lifting the ban, the judges have now made it legal to intentionally end a life in order to relieve pain and suffering of an individual and actively involve a doctor in someone’s death. This ruling over-rides two major facts currently in place to-day. It contradicts the criminal code (section 222) which makes it illegal to assist someone to commit suicide. It’s called “culpable homicide “ and it also goes against a doctor’s Hippocratic Oath which obligates them to do no harm to patients, but rather to keep them alive as long as possible. The oath includes this passage, “I will take care that they suffer no hurt or damage. Nor shall any man’s entreaty prevail upon me to administer poison to anyone; neither will I counsel any man to do so�. To be fair to the judges, their ruling stipulates that no physician would be forced to help a patient die. But is it fair morally or ethically to even ask someone to help you commit suicide? Nine judges have repealed a law and put doctors and patients under extreme scrutiny. They (judges) have created a slippery slope whereby the vulnerable may die without their consent or whose relatives urge, coerce or accelerate the patients pain (heaven forbid) for personal gain.

AD PROOF FORM .COM

ottawavalley

COMMUNITY news Dr. Corrine Motluk Dr. Alan Franzmann .COM

Let me give you proof that this can and has in fact happened. In the Netherlands, after having legalized doctor-assisted suicide, a 1990 study revealed that out of 12,000 cases where doctors were involved, 6,000 were without the patient’s consent. Fifty percent is a very high number. Also the ruling states that the patient must be an adult, must clearly consent to the termination of life, the illness must be grievous, “irremediable and intolerable� to the individual. But what if someone who is sick decides to take their life prematurely because they fear that they would be incapable of giving clear instructions when they reach the point where suffering was intolerable? Doesn’t this violate the right to life? Will this law really provide dignity and compassion in dying or does it just justify eliminating an inconvenience because the patient has become a burden to someone, financially or otherwise. A cruel thing to say but it could happen. The Bible tells us that we are not to murder (Exodus 20:13). It is the Lord God who gives us life (Job 33:4) and who has numbered our days (Job 14:5). So isn’t it up to God to determine the day we die? And finally, don’t we already have an option to ease the pain whereby a doctor in consultation with the family and with consent from the family “quietly� and through “sedation� can allow the patient to die a peaceful death with dignity? In my opinion, we do not need to legalize doctor assisted suicide because the moral dilemma of being an accomplice to death will come back to haunt us! Faced with a choice on someone else’s life, What would you do?

ottawavalley With the arrival of Emerald Ash Borers, local woodpeckers are having a field day. In Ottawa, most large ashes bear mottled trunks due to woodpeckers stripping off their bark in search of beetles.

Wrestlers place high in Windsor competitions .CA

There were four Arnprior District High School competitors among 750 Ontario wrestlers that arrived in Windsor March 2 to weigh in for the OFSAA championships.  After weigh-ins it was a quiet night for the local wrestlers coach by Kevin Mayhew of Fitzroy Harbour to prepare for competition the next day. Gavin Toole at his first OFSAA lost his two matches, but in the second scored the first two points. Watching him you could see the moves he was trying and he did not give up at all. Coach Mayhew was very proud of Gavin’s wrestling and told him that being a Grade 9 student at the Ontario championships can be tough with the possibility of wrestling Grade 12 students.  Liam Mayhew had a total of five matches over the two days.  Liam won his first match very quickly 10-0. His second match was tougher and partway into the second round his opponent had a move that caused Liam’s side of his face to hit the mat. Some injury time was called to enable Liam’s cuts to be attended to. Liam went back in and won the match. There was some question whether he would wrestle his third match of the day but with a two-hour break between matches, it gave him enough recovery time. This match was against a strong Grade 12 student and Liam suffered his first loss. Liam won his first match on the second day by shooting in and finally getting in a pinning position.  His final match of the day was against another Grade 12 student with many year of experience and Liam was unable to score, which ended in a loss.  This ended the wrestling for Liam, but has him a

COLE HERBERT

.CA

Cole Herbert had a bye his first match and won his second, keeping him on the winning side.  His next match was against a Northern Ontario wrestler and he suffered his first loss. This moved Cole to the consolation side and he had to wait until the next day to continue wrestling. His match on the second day resulted in a loss by a pin. Cole finished in the top 12, having 30 wrestlers in his weight class. Darren Mayhew in his fouth OFSAA had four matches.  His first match was won quickly with a pin.  His second match was not as successful and he lost by points. Darren later said that he just did not go into the match wrestling his way and let his opponent dictate the moves. In Darren’s third match, he showed his years of experience and pinned his opponent.  A referee after the match said it was a pleasure to watch Darren wrestle. His next match was a must win to put him in top 8.  This was not meant to be and Darren lost by a pin to give him a top 12 finish with 34 wrestlers in his weight group. In four OFSAA appearances, Darren had two top 12 finishes and a fifth-place finish. The ADHS students came up against wrestlers from much bigger high school programs who have more partners, more practice time and the opportunity to go to more tournaments close to home in the Greater Toronto Area. So they should all be proud on how they wrestled.

Renfrew County Roller Derby’s ‘fresh meat’ group train in town The Renfrew County Roller Derby team has been training hard the last few months, getting ready for a busy upcoming season. They are currently practicing in Arnprior at the Kenwood Athletic Centre, working on foot work drills and new strategies. They also have a ‘fresh meat’ group, who are learning the basics of how to skate, stop, fall safely, and the rules of the game. They are now working on hitting and blocking as they slowly get incorporated into the rest of group. Some members of the team just returned from Cornwall, where they trained and scrimmaged with teams from Cornwall, Montreal, Ottawa and Kahnawake. The four-hour session began with some practice drills provided by the coaches and trainers of each league. They then formed two groups of fresh meat players mixed with some new and older derby skaters to have a low contact scrimmage. That was followed by four teams of experi-

enced skaters playing a total of four 20-minute scrimmages. It was a great opportunity for them to learn from some veteran players, make new friends, as well as size up some of their competition. The Renfrew County roller derby team, the Valkyries, are working on finalizing its bout schedule. The season will start in May and run until September. The team is planning on having at least three home games in Renfrew, Pembroke and Petawawa.

Someone who can The owner of the Arnprior McDon- and not try to do too much. I tried to be level headed and has a long fuse, ald’s restaurant has offered Ottawa Senators goalie sensation Andrew Hammond food for life. John Bergeron is so impressed by Hammond’s play since he was called up from Binghamton to lead the charge as the once written-off Senators make an unexpected late bid for a playoff spot. “I think every time you get called up, you’re a little surprised because you don’t want to expect something that might not happen,� said Andrew Hammond in an interview last year with the Ottawa Senators website. “It’s normal the first few games in a new league to be a little jittery. Once you get into the game, get that first shot and make your first save, you realize it’s the same game, and you’re there for a reason. Just keep playing the same way that got you there.� As an avid Senators fan and owner of six McDonald’s franchises in the Ottawa Valley including Arnprior, Bergeron arranged to present the goalie a card that gives him free McDonald’s food for the rest of his life. Bergeron had two other reasons other than the netminder’s stellar play to be delighted with Hammond’s emergence as a star. The goalie’s nickname, given to him in university, is the Hamburglar, so named after the restaurant’s mascot. That moniker and the Senators surge up the standings with the previously unheralded Hammond in net have generated Hamburglar-mania in Ottawa and area. Adding to Bergeron’s excitement is that Hammond’s hockey coach at Bowling Green was his son, Chris. Hammond’s turn as goaltender befrom the mid gan during a street hockey game back in his hometown of White Rock, B.C. * His brother and friends allowed him to play on condition he was in nets. “At first [playing with Binghamton] I was little over aggressive and thought I could make the first saves, no matter what,� said Hammond. “I learned that the players are so good at Scott Campbell

COPING

Financial difficulties and debt stress can affect people from all walks of life. At Doyle Salewski, our professional credit counsellors can help you put your finances in order and achieve a debt-free future – all while treating you with respect, dignity and compassion.

A bi-weekly guide on how to manage debt

At Doyle Salewski, we help people just like you every day.

WITH

DEBT

Q: What is a credit score, and how does filing a consumer proposal or bankruptcy affect it? If you are overwhelmed and can’t manage the debts you have, solutions are available to relieve the stress. A consumer proposal and in some cases a bankruptcy, are viable options if you can’t keep up with the payments or have tried unsuccessfully to refinance or make arrangements with your creditors. But did you know that your credit score has dropped if you’ve missed some payments or already have too much debt? If you don’t have assets to give as security and have limited income, borrowing more money won’t help if you’re already behind on your payments. Our counselors will explain what options are available to manage your “debt stress”. Remember, your health will always be more important than a good credit score. What is a credit score? We’ve all heard the term credit score or credit rating. You likely already know that your score influences a bank’s decision whether or not to lend you money, approve a mortgage, and so on. FICO® Scores are calculated from many different pieces of credit data in your credit report. This data is grouped into five categories as outlined below. The percentages in the chart reflect how important each of the categories is in determining how your FICO Scores are calculated. Your FICO Scores consider both positive and negative information in your credit report. Late payments will lower your FICO Scores, but establishing or re-establishing a good track record of making payments on time will raise your score. Scores ranges from 300-850. Lenders may vary but a score above 700 is generally considered good.

www.mmmeatshops.com

How a FICO Score breaks down

What happens to my credit score if I file a consumer proposal or declare bankruptcy? A consumer proposal will be rated slightly better than a bankruptcy and will remain on your file for three years after you have completed your payments. A first bankruptcy will stay on your report for about seven years. Filing a consumer proposal or a bankruptcy may cause your credit score to drop temporarily but more importantly, will reduce your debt stress. No collection calls. No wage garnishments. You will sleep better. We will help you prepare a budget and come to an affordable monthly payment that fits your situation. How can I repair my credit score? Repairing your credit score isn’t a “quick fix” but many Doyle Salewski clients have proven that it can be done. We have run out of room here but look for some helpful steps in our next post to be published in 2 weeks. If you are burdened with debt stress, asking for sound advice is a sign of strength and the smart thing to do. Asking sooner rather than later is always better. Call Doyle Salewski today for your free, no obligation consultation. You’ll be glad you did.

Arnprior has a re-DQ-lous love for ice cream The Arnprior Dairy Queen restaurant gave out 947 free small cones during a 75th anniversary promotion Monday, March 16. In return, an appreciative public donated more than $400 for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario during the day-long promotion. It supplements the money raised in the summer during Miracle Treat day. DQ’s Jane Ferrari, who owns the Arnprior store with husband Joe, was delighted with the response, noting that the number of cones given out in Arnprior was larger than many restaurants in much bigger communities. 75th anniversary

The cone giveaway was Dairy Queen’s way to kick off its 75th anniversary, appropriately on the 75th day of the year. “This is all about connecting with our fans and not just about telling them, but showing them how much we appreciate their loyalty,” said Candida Ness, senior director of marketing for Dairy Queen Canada. “After all, our fans have been supporting us for 75 years, so we thought it would be fun to bring the celebration to them.” Free Cone Day is just the beginning, she added. “We will surprise and delight our fans year-round with food and treat innovations that they have come to expect from us.” The Arnprior outlet was one of the early Dairy Queens in this area. It was opened in 1959 by Gillies and Marion Smyth. From 1980 to 1991, Mel and Marion Bretzlaff were the owners. The Ferraris took over in 1992.

Ottawa Public Health has launched a “one-stop shop” online destination for parents seeking health information for their children. The city’s public health arm has created Parenting in Ottawa, a new web initiative, providing parents access to bilingual resources on a range of topics – from pregnancy and breastfeeding to puberty and sexual health. “Parenting in Ottawa just got a little easier,” said Sherry Nigro, the manager of health promotion and disease protection at Ottawa Public Health. Nigro said 80 to 90 per cent of parents are online and two thirds of them use social media regularly to get information. “With so much information out there, they tell us it’s overwhelming, and that what they really need is a place to ask a trusted source if what they’re reading is accurate and safe,” Nigro told reporters at the Mary Pitt Centre in Nepean. The website – www.parentinginottawa. com – was launched on March 16 and links parents with local community resources. Ottawa Public Health launched a Facebook group to accompany the website, and has already attracted around 8,500 followers, who have asked more than 250 questions from the staff. The page can be found by searching “Parenting in Ottawa” on Facebook. In addition to connecting parents to a nurse in real time, the Facebook group lets

them learn from other parents in a public forum. “People know the Facebook page is being moderated not only by someone who has experience and is educated, but also by other parents who have tons and tons of experience,” said Christa Poirier, a public health nurse who is the moderator for the group. “There is Alex Robinson/Metroland a lot of commu- A new website offers advice to parents looking for information nication going on concerning children’s health.

The first part of the program tested their acting skills as they learned of first meeting of the Iroquois with the Europeans.

The Textile Conservation group, an SCOTT CAMPBELL/METROLAND extension of the museum led by Cathy Youngsters taking part in the Arnprior District Museum’s spring break program work Rodger, contributed to creating the med- on ‘A Meeting of Cultures’ on St. Patrick’s Day.

Itʼs important to have conversations about distracted driving with your family, your friends, your colleagues and shed the negative light on it that it deserves. If you are in a vehicle being driven by someone who is driving while distracted, always speak up. Be firm. Too many people are dying because of distracted driving, it needs to stop and you need to stop. Make this your new attitude every day. If you see someone driving in a dangerous manner while driving distracted, call 911 to report them. Be self-disciplined every time you get behind the wheel; do not allow yourself to be distracted in any way while you are driving.

Irish stew for St. Patrick’s Day The Glasgow United Church was a buzz of activity on St. Patrick’s Day. Richard Hollingsworth estimates the Irish stew supper has been doled out for a meal for almost 20 years at the McNab-Braeside church to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Heather Forrest, Grace Yantha-Blimkie, Nicole Graham and Lillian Collins all chip in on the serving.

Pakenham Home Show on this weekend Tara Gesner

tgesner@perfprint.ca

The 2015 Pakenham Home Show returns to the Stewart Community Centre this weekend, March 27-29. The show is a one-stop home and garden solution for visitors, and for all the do-ityourselfers. It’ll help them make informed decisions about their spring building, remodeling and renovation projects. The Town of Mississippi Mills recreation and culture department presents the Pakenham event – known as the longest running home show in the Ottawa Valley. “We are now in our 24th year,” said Bonnie Hawkins, the department’s administrative assistant. This year, more than 50 exhibitors will be set up downstairs at the community centre, including contractors, interior designers, landscapers, home improvement specialists,

outdoor recreation and consumer electronics suppliers. They will answer visitors’ questions and provide insight into all the home and garden trends for 2015. As well, a number of vendors will have a range of products available for sale. Hawkins said in the region of 3,000 plus people visit the event each year. “They come from Almonte, Arnprior, Renfrew, Carleton Place, Ottawa, all over,” she added. Pakenham Home Show hours are 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. Admission (each day) is $5 per person. Children under 12 are free when accompanied by an adult. Entry includes a ballot for a door prize. “One door prize will be drawn daily, with a grand prize awarded at the conclusion of the event,” Hawkins said. “The grand prize is $1,000 to be spent

at Scheel Furniture and Appliance,” she added. Entertainment, going all weekend, will be provided in the community centre’s upper hall. “Admission to the entertainment is $3 per person,” Hawkins said. On Friday night, enjoy Ol’ Tyme Round and square dancing from 8 p.m. until 1 a.m., sponsored by the Pakenham Square Dance Club. Heritage Country/Dennis Harrington performs Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m. From 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Carleton Place’s Ed, Rod, John and Andy Bowes – truly a ‘Band of Brothers’” – will hit the stage with a performance packed with energy and good tunes.

The Arnprior Ministerial Association is again celebrating Easter with a joint service at Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church on Good Friday (April 3). For several years now, some of the association’s member churches have joined together at Easter to worship and reflect on the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Good Friday is one of the at least four most important dates on the Christian calendar. They include the birth of Jesus at Christmas, his crucifixion on Good Friday, the resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday and the giving of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. The crucifixion of Jesus is central to the Christian faith. It is through the shedding of the blood of Jesus that we are offered forgiveness from our sins and eternal life in the Kingdom

Mother comes to the rescue when Cecil’s spying techniques fail For a long time, it was a complete mystery to me how our neighbours in Northcote knew where the Saturday night house party was to be held.  It was my friend Velma, who, much smarter than I was, said it was because Central simply called everyone on the line and told them. That made perfect sense to me. After all, Central knew everything that was going on in the area, and she certainly knew everyone’s ring. And so it was, that Saturday night, supper was early, the kitchen made spotlessly clean, the bake table cleared off, and the chairs pushed back against the wall. The parlour door had been opened early in the morning. The braided rug removed from where it sat rolled up tight against the bottom of the door to keep the heat out of the one room in the house unused during the winter unless we had company.  The rug was tucked under the horsehair settee, and by late day we were ready for the Saturday night house party. The neighbours came in cutters and sleighs, the horses tethered near the drive shed, with heavy blankets thrown over their backs. Car-

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

rying baskets of food, which my sister Audrey took with a hearty “thank you,â€? and then piling it all on the cleared- off bake table.  Those who had even a smidgen of talent brought their fiddles and guitars and one neighbour, who couldn’t hold a candle to Mother’s playing, brought his harmonica, a double-reed affair that his daughter told me cost a whole dollar at Scott’s hardware. It didn’t take long for we youngsters to head upstairs to play in the bedrooms; jacks on the bare floor, Parcheesi in the boys room, and we, the youngest of the girls, playing house with our dolls on one of the beds. Downstairs cards would have started, and we could hear the kitchen table being slapped and every once in a while someone would yell out “euchre.â€? Soon the music would start, and

OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY MARCH 22 & 29, 2-4PM

we would know that the middle of the kitchen floor would have partners for a square ready to break into a square dance, big enough space for only one set.   And the old log house, would be rocking with the music, the feet stomping on the floor, and with good-natured bantering at the card table. In the middle of the floor in the big upstairs hall, which served as bedroom for my sister and me, was a large round grate circling the stove pipe that came through the floor from the kitchen stove below. Cecil decided he would see what was going on downstairs, so he stretched out on the floor with his face pressed against the grate. I have no idea how it happened, but he must have stuck his tongue through one of the small holes in the grate, and he couldn’t get it out. His arms flailed, and his words came out like someone speaking a foreign language. Audrey bent over him and told him to stop yelling and it would release his tongue. Well, he either didn’t get the message, or he was too scared to pay any heed. No one could hear him downstairs because of the music and the loud chatter, so Audrey went down and brought Mother upstairs to see if she could release Cecil’s tongue from the

grate. Finally, she lifted the grate out of the hole in the floor, with it still circling the pipe, and Cecil’s tongue with it. They sat crossed-legged facing each other, and Mother, holding the grate in one hand, being careful not to move the stove pipe, and with Cecil’s tongue between two fingers in the other, told him to breath in hard, and cough real loud. Taking in a deep breath to get ready for the cough, caused his tongue to jerk back into his mouth and that finally freed it from the grate. Well, it was a pretty quiet Cecil after that. He said he had enough of playing upstairs, he was going to go down and watch the dancing and card game. His tongue was no worse for wear, because when it came time to eat the lunch, Cecil’s plate was piled high with cold pork sandwiches, and not one, but two pieces of chocolate slab cake. And not one of us was brave enough to bring up the incident ever again. Cecil was a force to be reckoned with, there was no doubt about that!

A new bout of accessibility funding has been made available by the federal government. The new call for proposals comes under the umbrella of the Enabling Accessibility Fund’s (EAF) Community Accessibility Stream. “Many of our communities have seen the benefits of the Enabling Accessibility Program, most recently in Cobden at the Whitewater Regional Office,� said local MP Cheryl Gallant in announcing the funding in a news release. “This current call for proposals focuses on making improvements for children, veterans, and seniors with disabilities. I encourage all those interested to apply and help improve the accessibility of our community’s buildings, playgrounds, and public spaces.� The EAF supports communitybased projects across Canada that improve accessibility, remove barriers, and enable Canadians with disabilities to participate in and contribute to their communities. Anyone interested in applying or wanting more information on eligibility or on how to apply can visit the MP’s website at cherylgallant.com, and click on ‘Enabling Accessibility’ under the ‘Programs’ tab.

Residents and staff at Island View Retirement Suites enjoy ‘Mixed up Monday’ to kick off an early Laugh at Work Week recently. While the first week of April is supposed to be Laugh at Work Week, after the January and February blues, staff decided everyone needed a laugh sooner than that. They formed teams and the more they participated and encouraged residents to take part, the more points their teams received, with a scavenger hunt wrapping things up Friday.

Not how did he die, but how did he live? Not what did he gain, but what did he give? These are the units to measure the worth of a man as a man, regardless of birth. Not what was his church, nor what was his creed? But had he befriended those really in need? Was he ever ready, with words of good cheer, to bring back a smile, to banish a tear? Not what the sketch in the newspaper say, but how many were sorry when he passed away.

God looked upon His garden, And found an empty space. Then He looked down upon the earth, And saw your tired face. He put His arms around you, And lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful, For He only takes the best. He saw the road was getting rough, And the hills were hard to climb. He closed your weary eyes, And whispered Peace be Thine. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, To God’s Garden, your new home. Mother, Dad, sisters and brothers CLR594170

We little knew that morning, That God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again! Loved & cherished always, your loving wife Rose, daughters Kelly and Kerri (Jeff) and grandchildren Lily and Nathan
