News – A competing developer protested the Winners Circle project’s timing during a public meeting at town hall Monday evening. White Lake Road Investments’ Wib Paul and a consultant spoke to a decade-long plan for retail outlets on the south side of Highway 417. He reminded council of the Smart Centre proposal that would have likely seen a Wal-mart come to town, but was unraveled after downtown merchants and others rallied against it in 2009. “We had a vision that we wanted to have a shopping centre,” said Paul. “There is only a certain amount of retail space a town this size can accommodate.” If council at a future meeting approves a zone change – from highway commercial to shopping centre commercial – it will have “a direct impact” on the timeliness of his development, added the local businessman. The Winners Circle project is owned by Montreal businessman Chris Harden and Canadian Tire who bought it last year from Loblaws Supermarkets. It would be located behind the Daniel Street Esso and across from No Frills, and see a shopping centre and new Canadian Tire with a garden centre and automotive service station. Paul hired a consultant to review the plans, coming up with two categories of concern: func-

tionality and timing. The first points to the possibility of just 279 parking spots at a location that could see as many as 444 trips; some will be forced to park at No Frills and risk health and safety by crossing the road, the reports says. The second points to three underdeveloped retail areas (No Frills, the existing Canadian Tire, and the mall) that should be subject to the province’s desire for intensification. Approving Winners Circle will make it more difficult for them and White Lake Road Investments to find tenants. The timing is also “premature,” according to Paul’s consultant, because the town is undertaking numerous economic studies. Town planner Robin Smith did not signal any problems with the zoning change, saying it is consistent with provincial and municipal standards. And existing infrastructure can handled servicing, meaning it will not cost taxpayers anything. She said the number parking spots could jump as high as 325, depending on the size of the building. MAYOR IN FAVOUR
Mayor David Reid threw his support behind staff and the project, indicating the zoning change is appropriate and staff is capable of ensuring all aspects of the development will follow proper guidelines. See MAYOR Page 3

Busker fest a great success Three-year-old Millie Sartarelli shows off her wicked face-paint, complete with a growl, at the inaugural mini-buskers festival at the Arnprior Mall on March 22. Former Playtex employees Marian Fumerton, left, and Helen Cavanagh help identify former co-workers at a table hosted by the Arnprior and McNab-Braeside Archives at the inaugural mini-buskers festival at the Arnprior Shopping Centre on Saturday. Board member of the archives, John Smith, said they were able to identify more than 70 per cent of the Stack recalled the public meeting set up for the Nick photos they had on display.
Continued from front
Smith Centre. At the last moment both Gibeau and Coun. Tom Peckett backed out, he charged. Stack said he spoke that night about the town’s responsibility to create the conditions for business to succeed, not for ensuring it does. He concluded by saying the town was lucky Paul was still looking to develop, and that the town should help him. “For us to go one against another is not our role,� Stack said. “Every one of us at this table knows we were elected on council to secure commercial development for the town.� No councillors opposed the project; Lyle Anderson was absent. Council will vote on the zoning change at an upcoming meeting. R0012525669
As for timing, he said the site and surrounding commercial area was ďŹ rst developed in the 1980s. All the proper studies and approvals were done at that time. “As for it being premature: it has been on the books for 30 years,â€? Reid said. “Money was spent to bring services up to White Lake Road, and I just feel it would not be right to not allow them now.â€? Reeve Walter Stack is fervidly in favour of the project, and of helping Paul developing his property. He recalled the Smart Centre â€œďŹ ascoâ€? that happened under the last council. Proponents asked former CAO Larry Donaldson about the political temperature of bringing in a Wal-mart; council was supportive; then “special interestâ€? groups stepped in, he said. Stack, a member of the last council, then chastised the downtown business improvement area (BIA) for doing little since the development fell apart. The BIA is now on the verge of collapse. He showed little concern for underdeveloped areas, speciďŹ cally the mall which was recently granted an $80,000 tax reduction for not ďŹ lling vacancies. “They’ve made no marketing efforts to develop it,â€? Stack said. He called it a lack of leadership – though didn’t mention former mayor Terry Gibeau by name – that caused the Smart Centre deal to implode, taking with it 300 to 400 jobs and $500,000 to $600,000 tax dollars.

Lights out for Earth Hour Saturday News – Earth Hour returns this Saturday, March 29, when people are asked to shut off their lights for 60 minutes. Several environmental groups, including major sponsor World Wildlife Fund (WWF), are asking people around the world “to stand united for a future where climate change is no longer a threat.â€? On Saturday from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m., WWF-Canada urges Canadians to take part in this global movement and switch off their lights for a ‘moment of darkness’ and “reect on the choices all of us can make for a better future.â€? WWF’s Earth Hour is an opportunity for individuals, businesses and communities around the globe to unite in a powerful call to action of hope for a better, healthier planet. In Canada, the Toronto Star is the national sponsor and the Ontario Power Authority is a regional sponsor. The WWF points out that by 2050, Canada could, and should, be powered by green energy.

Crackdown on distracted drivers intensifies
On the rocks A 38-year-old female suffered minor injuries Saturday morning when she lost control along Highway 17 just west of Arnprior and her 2002 Honda Civic became lodged on a rock cut. The Ottawa woman was able to get out of the car on her own and was transported to hospital by ambulance. OPP spokersperson Const. Janice Sawbridge said she was not aware of any charges laid as a result of the incident. Because of the precarious placement of the vehicle, officials were considering using a crane to remove the car. Const. Walid Kandar investigated.

As of March 18, distracted driving fines increase from $155 to $280 (this includes the $225 fine plus a $50 victim fine surcharge and $5 court cost). In the latest campaign, the total number of province-wide OPP distracted driving charges rose to 4,000 in 2014. In its news release, the OPP thanked all drivers, passengers and others who support their efforts to make Ontario roads free of distracted driving. Whether it be through responsible driving, speaking up to a distracted driver as a passenger or encouraging family and friends to put down their phone and leave it alone while driving, the OPP appreciates these positive actions, which can go a long way to helping make our roads safer.

News – The OPP wrapped up its distracted driving campaign by reminding drivers that the fines for the offense were upped dramatically as of March 18. The new legislation allows officers to issue much heftier fines to those caught using a hand held device or watching an entertainment device while driving. During the March 814 campaign, officers throughout the province were busy raising awareness among motorists that using a hand-held device and engaging in other forms of distraction while driving is a dangerous behaviour that has in the last three years taken the lives of more innocent people than impaired driving on Ontario roads. So far 11 people have died in distracted driving related collisions on OPP patrolled roads and, according to some of the OPP’s Facebook followers, the public recognizes how serious a threat this driving behaviour poses to road users. “I see many people

Province-wide hydro protests organized Steve Newman Steve.newman@metroland.com
April 4 protests over skyrocketing Hydro One bills for Ontario homes and businesses will include one in Renfrew. Judging by the avalanche of calls and emails local protest organizer Angela Burgess has received following stories this month in Arnprior Chronicle-Guide and Renfrew Mercury, there should be a healthy and boisterous turnout. The offices of RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski and MP Cheryl Gallant have also been besieged with complaints over the high Hydro One bills. Next Friday’s demonstration will start with a march from the Service Ontario centre on Plaunt Street at 1 p.m. to Low Square in front of Renfrew town hall. Speakers will include Burgess, fellow Horton Township resident Sherri Sexton and Yaka-
buski, who is scheduled to speak at 2 p.m. Burgess believes others will also have plenty to say about the high number of Hydro One bills that are five or 10 times higher than normal billing amounts. Hydro One’s skyrocketing prices coincide with the installation of so-called smart meters across the province and a change in Hydro One’s billing system last year, says Burgess. A priority on the protest’s agenda will be a fivepart request to the Ontario Liberal government to fix the situation. “This is literally catastrophic,� says Burgess, who was an outspoken opponent of Clean Water Act changes by the government about a decade ago. Five demands “Five demands are at the apex of our (current) argument,� says Burgess. A Horton Township resident and owner of KOA Kampground, she says her home and business bills

have spiralled out of control along with those of several other Renfrew County residents. The first two demands will be to remove the harmonized sales tax (HST) from all homeheating and electrical bills and the creation of equal delivery charges on Hydro One bills for all customers. The third demand is for equalization of debt retirement charges on all Hydro One bills, instead of linking those charges to hydro consumption. The fourth demand calls for the removal of all smart meters in rural Ontario. Too many horror stories have been heard about preposterously high bills, explains Burgess. She insists that the communication links needed to properly read the smart meters can’t be in place if portions of regions already lack Wi-Fi or cellularphone service. “My meter faces a bush,� said Burgess, who calls her Hydro One bills worrisome and mindboggling. The fifth demand is for a forensic audit of Hydro One’s new billing program, which Burgess says was implemented last summer. Burgess also plans to attend Horton council April 1 to provide an update about the demonstration. Burgess says the high Hydro One bills are a problem across the Ottawa Valley and in many other regions of Ontario. Local examples aren’t difficult to find. Burgess sorts through numerous bills or complaints, in her kitchen, that have been sent to her by Ottawa Valley residents. An example is a Pakenham pensioner whose winter month-
letters of apology, but she says much more than an apology is in order. A solution is needed, stresses Burgess. To learn more about the April 4 protests, Burgess recommends visits to the Facebook link at Ontariohydroprotestottawavalley. OTHER SITES
STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND
Angela Burgess, organizer of Renfrew’s April 4 demonstration, is incensed over skyrocketing Hydro One bills, like this one for her KOA Kampground business. ly bills have jumped from less than $400 to more than $1,000. Another example is Burgess’s own business, whose yearly bills continue to rise, with most of those increases happening in the past year. In the past, Burgess says she has written letters to elected officials, but she’s convinced that letter-writing doesn’t work. So, she’s asking others who have experienced much-higher-thannormal Hydro One bills to join the protest. She says she knows some people literally can’t pay their bills because, in some instances, they’re higher than their mortgage or rent payments.
Burgess has also heard from Donna Burns, president of the Ontario Landowners Association Renfrew County chapter. Burns’s email letter of March 13 recommends that anyone with automatic payment withdrawal to pay Hydro One bills stop the payments until Hydro One officials “come up with an acceptable solution for all Ontarians.� Burgess encourages area residents to attend the Fridayafternoon demonstration at Low Square to express their displeasure. She is among those who have received Hydro One’s recent
Other protest sites that day in Renfrew County include Barry’s Bay Place and Pembroke. In all, the exploding anger over rising hydro rates will be front and centre April 4 at protests in 24 Ontario communities, including Ottawa, Carleton Place and Perth. For Ottawa and surrounding area, the rally is at 2249 Carling Ave. in front of Liberal Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli’s office. For the Carleton Place rally, protesters are asked to gather at the new Farmers’ Market just off Lake Avenue East at noon. The protests, which are being supported by Landowners’ Associations, are being hailed as a way for people “to make their voices heard in regards to the outrageous escalation of hydro rates in Ontario.� The ‘Join the fight against Hydro Rates’ Facebook group was created by a couple of women in Dryden and has quickly grown in momentum and membership, united with a “common anger and outrage� over escalating hydro rates and surcharges, Hydro One billing issues and customer service and lack of accountability. “Bring your hydro bills, new and old,� say protest organizers. “It’s time to demand to be heard. A silent voice is heard by no one.�

It goes on to say: “It is estimated that electricity costs will increase
by approximately 50 per cent within the next five years; and whereas an increase in electricity rates by the Ontario Energy Board will exacerbate an existing problem for industry and consumers with low or fixed incomes in Arnprior; therefore be it resolved the Town of Arnprior urges in the strongest possible way that the Government of Ontario ensures that electricity rates both in the short and long-term, allow our businesses to remain competitive in a global environment and ensure that the vulnerable residents of our communities are not overburdened by ever-increasing electricity rates.� The resolution was sent to the Premier of Ontario, the Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, the Ontario Energy Board, the Ontario Power Authority, Association of Municipalities (AMO), local MPP John Yakabuski, Ontario Municipalities and local municipalities in Renfrew County for support.

Efforts to keep farm college Candidate to hold court at Timmy’s campuses open bearing fruit News – After an outpouring of concern from all over Eastern Ontario, there is new hope the agricultural programs at the Kemptville and Alfred colleges will be saved. Late last week, provincial Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities Brad Duguid said that Algonquin and St. Lawrence colleges “have responded to my request to seek solutions to retain programs currently delivered at the Kemptville campus.” Duguid said he will work with local community leaders and Glengarry-Prescott-Russell MP Grant Crack, who is the Parliamentary Assistant to Minister of Agriculture and Food Kathleen Wynne, “to find a solution that works for the Eastern Ontario agricultural community.
The announcement comes on the heels of word that the French-language community colleges, La Cité collégiale of Ottawa and Collège Boréal in Sudbury, have agreed to take over the school in Alfred after the University of Guelph In his statement, Duguid thanked those involved with the Kemptville College Renewal Task Force for coming together to work towards ideas and solutions to the closure challenge. “We are very pleased in the progress made in addressing the challenge at the Alfred campus and we are hopeful that similar solutions can be found for Kemptville,” he said. A meeting in Kemptville March 15, three days after the University of Guelph an-
nounced the college campuses would close next year, formed a group in an attempt to stave off the closures. Several students and farmers from Renfrew and Lanark counties were among those in attendance. Last week the County of Renfrew’s finance and administration committee recommend County council back a resolution from Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry calling on Ontario Premier and Agriculture Minister Kathleen Wynne to order the Kemptville closure be delayed for two years to give supporters time to devise a way to keep the campuses open, The charge to keep the college open was led by committee chair Raye-Anne Briscoe, mayor of Admaston-Bromley.
Ontario physicians support tougher laws Continued from Page 5
• requiring all drivers to maintain a distance of one metre when passing cyclists; • requiring drivers to yield the whole roadway to pedestrians at school crossings and pedestrian crossovers. In a news release, Ontario's doctors said they strongly support the toughening the distracted driving laws and the move to make cycling safer. “We believe cycling as a form of transportation should be supported and encouraged by government – but lack of infrastructure and other issues have caused too many injuries and deaths among cyclists,” they said. As for distracted driving, doctors said “there is simply no excuse for texting or using handheld
devices while driving. Toughening penalties on this reckless behaviour should help reduce the terrible health consequences that physicians see in our hospitals and offices every day.” They weren’t the only one issuing praise for the changes. “This is wonderful news,” said Ralph Palumbo, Ontario’s vice-president of the Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC). “Distractions are a factor in many collisions, and we need to convince people that the practice of texting or using the phone while driving is socially unacceptable and inherently dangerous. Wwe are particularly happy to see the addition of demerit points for distracted driving as this approach has been proven to change driver behavior more than fines alone.”

Glenn Miller said he will be at the Staye Court Drive Tim Hortons from 7 to 9 p.m. that day to talk to anyone interested in bending his ear. “Do you have questions, or want to discuss issues like the breakfast program or bul-

EDITORIAL
Don’t let colleges fall fallow Politicians of every stripe and level are fond of saying how important agriculture is to our country and region. After all, everyone’s got to eat. And the hardworking, salt-of-the-earth farmers are easy to admire and support. Besides, the more of our own food we can supply, the less vulnerable we become to outside forces. That has become even more evident as fuel prices skyrocket and along with them food prices. Rising concerns about food costs and safety have spawned initiatives such as grow/buy local food efforts and the 100-mile diet. Unfortunately, in a time where we need more not less people involved in food production, a common lament is that hardly anyone from the younger generation is going into farming any more. It’s not an easy calling what with cheap products flooding in from outside the country, factory farm competition, environmental pressures, increasingly erratic weather, rising costs and fickle consumers. But those who are in the business tend to be dedicated and persistent. Nevertheless, they could do with some help and encouragement. Local and global changes are causing major shifts in farming methods and focus, making proper training for our current and future farmers more important than ever. So now is not the time to have the region’s farming education institutions close down. But that’s what could happen if the University of Guelph’s announced closures of the
agriculture programs at Kemptville and Alfred colleges are allowed to go ahead. Politicians need to show leadership and come up with measures to ensure the agricultural programs in Eastern Ontario survive and thrive. They need put their money (along with their food) where their mouths are. There is no mistaking where public sentiment is on this issue. The closure announcements were met with alarm and dismay, not just in Kemptville and Alfred, but all over Eastern Ontario. A rally on short notice in Kemptville on March 15, three days after the announcement, attracted more than 400 people, several from this area. Renfrew County has quickly joined the County of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry in urging the provincial government lean on the University of Guelph to delay the closure for two years. Putting the demise of the colleges on hold is important to the maintaining of continuity of courses, and research, at the institutions because there are already moves afoot to have the campuses continue under new leadership. Ontario’s French-language community colleges, La CitÊ collÊgiale of Ottawa and Collège BorÊal in Sudbury, have said they will consider taking over the school in Alfred. Algonquin and St. Lawrence colleges are looking into ways to keep Kemptville College open. These are promising signs, but the public and the politicians need to keep up the pressure in a united effort until the new agreements to keep the campuses open are signed, sealed and delivered.

Natural gas still much cheaper than oil, electricity To the editor: I am writing to clarify some information in the March 20 (Arnprior Chronicle-Guide) editorial about energy prices. Residential customers can choose to buy their natural gas from Enbridge Gas Distribution at the same price we pay in the market when we purchase gas for our customers. Or, customers can purchase gas from a marketer for a fixed price over a fixed period of time. Enbridge Gas Distribution’s rates are regulated by the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) and we adjust them every three months. On March 12, we applied for an increase to rates as part of our regular quarterly application to adjust rates. We do not make a profit on the price of natural gas - customers pay what we pay. We earn an approved rate of return on the delivery of natural gas only.

If we pay less for the natural gas than forecast, customers receive a credit. If we pay more than forecast, that cost is passed along to customers without mark-up. Customers have been benefiting from low natural gas prices in recent years. If the new rate is approved, natural gas would still be less than half the cost of oil and electricity for a typical residential customer. The rates we’ve applied for this quarter reflect higher prices for natural gas this winter. About $250 of the $400 a year increase we’ve applied for (based on a customer who uses 3,064 cubic metres of natural gas a year) relates to the higher costs to buy natural gas that we incurred this past winter. The other $150 is related to an increase in the forecast price of natural gas. We will continue to review rates quarterly and if the prices we pay are lower than

forecast, customers will get a credit. If market forecasts decline, we will also apply for a reduction in rates. It’s important to note that customers who use less natural gas will see a lower increase and lower bills. Despite the strong value that natural gas continues to deliver, we recognize that some customers struggle with energy bills. We encourage customers to ask us about payment arrangements if they are having difficulty. There are also programs offered to qualifying customers in financial need – the OEB’s Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP) provides emergency financial assistance of up to $500 and our Winter Weatherization Program offers free energy efficiency measures such as insulation to lower bills in the long-term.

Thanks to Jim Flaherty To the editor: Jim Flaherty stepped down March 18 as Canada’s Minister of Finance. As an ex-mayor and a resident of Canada I wish to say thanks. Mr. Flaherty accomplished more than any Minister of Finance in recent memory. He was able to stop our economy from plunging into a deep depression when our powerful allies were scrambling for financial survival. As the Mayor of Arnprior during this period, I was proud to take advantage of his subsidies to build infrastructure such as our wastewater plant, water plant, sewer separation

Prepare your income tax return stress-free To the editor: Income tax season is fast approaching, and you don’t know where to start? Many people find tax time stressful, but with a little preparation, it can be a cinch. Read on for some tips to make preparing your income tax return quicker and easier. Start early. This way, you’ll not only avoid penalties for late filing, but you’ll also be able to organize your finances to take advantage of potential tax benefits. Prepare the returns of everyone in the family at the same time. Often, expenses that won’t benefit one member of the family can be transferred to another. Get organized. It’s much easier to prepare
your tax return if you file the documents you’ll need in one place. Taxes in Canada are due on April 30 every year. If you’re preparing your own return, you can use the Canada Revenue Agency’s NETFILE program to submit it. You’ll save time, make fewer mistakes and, if applicable, get your refund faster. For more tips on preparing your income tax return, see Your Financial Toolkit on the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada’s website, itpaystoknow.gc.ca.

Liberals continue to mislead public To the editor: Sometimes the truth hurts and Ontario and federal Liberals can be accused of internally bullcrapping voters – Don McGuinty, who I call Popeye, and Kathleen ‘Olive Oyl’ Wynne. Watching Queen’s Park, you can just see Andrea Horwath siding with Olive Oyl. Andrea, I heard you on T.V. mention that the Premier was running for re-election. She was put in as premier by the Liberal party. The Ontario premier and the federal Liberals continue with their lies. Kathleen, you are a ribbon cutter leader and cannot get things right, no matter what. McGuinty and the new premier have targeted low income people, with 12 monthly cheques, forcing it upon us. In order to receive a lump sum, we would have to wait until June of 2015. Ontario is now a Putin regime - Communist. The Ontario Government pays millions and millions of dollars to
Shawinigan, PQ. Do Canadians in Ontario and nationally want to see Socialism gone? What has happened to freedom of speech? Now Justin and some of his cronies like Joyce Murray legalize pot. Someone with a D.U.I. and killing an innocent person is no different than that glossy-eyed pot smoker behind the wheel of a vehicle. I remember back, I believe December 2010, when Justin was just a Liberal MP suggesting that maybe Quebec could become its own country or Commonwealth. How can a guy like Trudeau be trusted if he became prime minister? Ontario and Canadians look well to your ballot before voting. The tongue and the mind can be an unruly evil and full of deadly poison. McGuinty and Kathleen have put our province in debt, as we are at the bottom of a scum bucket, scorned and angry. The real Pierre Poutine that the NDP and Liberals were
flapping their gums about may have been solved. Pauline Marois,, the separatist, and Pierre Paladeau, the billionaire P.P., also a French name. Premier, people have had enough of your obnoxious narcissism, since faulty Daltie packed it in. You are still slicing and dicing Ontario. I know Queen’s Park was closed down until Jan. 25, 2013, the trick of the coward Daltie. We all know from your throne speech what you represent and this is the most sabotaging government in Ontario history. When Liberals blame Mike Harris, it’s nothing compared to the billions of dollars that Ontario is in debt, thanks to the polluted government over the past 11 or 12 years. A charlatan is a quack or imposter, Kathleen, and that fits you to ‘T’, and by the way I watched your speech. Doug Yourt Arnprior

There are tiny Olympians atop the snow Lifestyle - This year winter seems unwilling to release its cold grip on the land. Many spring signs usually apparent by now, such as the steady stream of wedge-shaped flocks of geese moving north, are yet to come. But as long as the sun is strong there are visual signs that spring is not far off. However, instead of looking up for birds flying overhead, one must look down to see these signs. At first the signs might seem rather insignificant. Atop the snow especially in depressions such as boot prints you will see black, pinhead-sized dots. While there could be a few, usually there are so many that the snow looks black. When you bend down for a closer view, you will be very surprised to see some of the specks vanish into thin air while others magically appear in their place. You are seeing tiny animals known as Springtails. There are many species of Springtails that live in soil and under tree bark, but only one appears atop the snow in early spring. Because of the way they jump, they are known as Snow Fleas. However, they are not fleas but relatively primitive wingless insects formally known as Collembolans. Because they are so different from most insects, some entomologists
Michael Runtz Nature’s Way think they should be placed in their own separate group. Snow Fleas can stay active on snow because they have an antifreeze that keeps their body liquids fluid - a phenomenon known as supercooling. The antifreeze is glycerol, a chemical used by many other insects and spiders. Springtails get their name from an ingenious pole-vault system that launches them many times their body length, which is about two millimetres. Attached to a Springtail’s back end is a forked appendage called the furcula. The furcula folds under the belly where it catches in a latch mechanism. When the furcula springs free, it sends its owner airborne on a jour-
ney that can span 100 times its body length. That is equivalent to an athlete pole-vaulting 200 metres – an Olympian feat by any standard! Because of their unique way of moving, I like to think of Snow Fleas as ‘Snow Hoppers’, although they have been described as “jumping dirt!” Much remains unknown about Snow Fleas. They vanish when the snow melts, likely moving down into the duff layer atop the soil. It has been estimated that as many as 50,000 Springtails (of various species) can inhabit one cubic foot of organic topsoil. So where do Snow Fleas come from? It seems they get to the snow’s PHOTOS BY MICHAEL RUNTZ surface by climbing up tree trunks and rocks where snow has melted Also watch for wingless Snow Flies slowly crawling on the snow. back. But why do they come up? It seems likely they do so to acquire food, which consists mainly of algae and fungus spores.

New attractions planned for Valley Fishing and Outdoor show David Johnston
Lifestyle - Outdoor sports enthusiasts will be taking aim on the Carp Fairgrounds April 4-6 for the 14th annual Valley Fishing and Outdoor Show. Organizer Dave Arbour says the event will have something for everyone, including some new wrinkles this year. “The show is well-established but this year has a lot of new vendors that will add a new flavour to it.� In addition to a massive gun show that will be featured in the arena and the hall, the show will have a wide range of hunting and fishing equipment for sale, including archery. “This year we are featuring new lures that have never been seen in this area, and are not
available in stores,� says Arbour. “Seafour lures are the newest.� And for anglers who want to extend their techniques, the show will feature fly fishing demonstrations. On Saturday, a highlight will be the duck and goose calling competition. “Three judges are hidden and people will go through a series of different calls and will be judged accordingly,� explains Arbour. “Prizes will be given for top callers.� There will also be a turkey calling competition. Arbour and his wife will be testing people for their wild turkey hunting licence. To be eligible to take the test, applicants first have to first purchase the Ontario Wild Turkey Hunter Education Course on DVD. It is available from
the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters at ofan-cps.com/turkey/DVD.cfm. Seminars will be held on turkey hunting, trailering and calling ducks and geese. “We have got it all covered. Hunting apparel, tackle guns. There will even be boats and ATVs,� says Arbour. Another popular attraction is the big buck, moose and bear skulls contest. “People bring in mounted heads and they are scored by a measurement between antlers. They will win prizes. We also have hidden prizes.� Bear skulls are usually not mounted. Kids’ activities include a casting pond and fishing pond. They can win prizes such as lures and fishing rods. Children can also try out bows in the archery area.

Concerns expressed about White Lake Campground expansion Kelly Kent kkent@perfprint.ca
News – As one of the first steps in a long and complicated process, Mississippi Mills committee-of-the-whole held a public meeting March 18 to gather input on a proposed expansion to the White Lake Campground. The meeting was held as an initial starting point to hear comments and concerns from the public before the applicant begins to deal with three amendments – to the Lanark County Official Plan, Mississippi Mills Community Official Plan and the zoning bylaw on the land – that will have to be made to allow for the expansion. “This is the first time that someone has requested an amendment to both the County Official Plan and the Community Official Plan,” said Mary Kirkwood, who represented Lanark County at the meeting. “It’s going to be a learning process for everyone, since it will be a long and involved road to approval.” White Lake Campground sits on a 33-acre lot with around 600 metres of frontage onto the shores of White Lake east of the Village of White Lake in the Bayview Lodge area. The site has been used as a seasonal trailer campground for more than 40 years and currently has 40 trailers and a small cabin on the premises. The applicant requesting the expansion, who was represented at the meeting by Kevin Mooder of Jp2g Consultants, wants to expand capacity of the grounds to accommodate 200 trailers on a seasonal basis. The lot that the campground sits on is large enough to accommodate the expansion, but a number of obstacles stand in the way for approval, includ-
ing a now-abandoned aggregate pit on the property that was formerly used for the extraction of sand and gravel for local projects. The applicant will also have to get over the hurdle of amending three legal documents from the county and the municipality, as set out in a report from the town’s junior planner Matt Robson. CONCERNS EXPRESSED
In preparation for the application for this expansion for the town, Mooder and the applicant have commissioned several reports, including a transportation impact study, a preliminary stormwater management plan and an environmental impact assessment. After Kirkwood, Robson and Mooder had given a quick overview of the proposed amendments and site plan for the campground, the public was given a chance to speak. First up was a long-time resident of the area, Jack Box, who had several concerns to share. “My biggest concern, I think, is the increase in traffic that we’ll see in the area,” he said. “With 200 sites up from the 40 sites that are there now, that will be at least four times the traffic going up and down the roads.” Mooder responded to the concern, which several other members of the public in attendance also shared, by quoting from the transportation impact study. He also mentioned that since White Lake Campground is and will remain a seasonal operation, the traffic would only occur during the best road conditions from May to October. Box also raised air and noise pollution concerns as well as overfishing in the lake. Other locals expressed concern for the health of the fish
populations in the lake, lake pollution and the proposal that the site will take water from the lake (up to 50,000 litres per day.) Mooder took note of all of the concerns voiced at the meeting and answered any questions he could. He and the town will take the public’s concerns into consideration going forward. Next, the town’s committee-of-the-whole members had a chance to speak. Coun. Shaun McLaughlin said he was concerned about the cumulative impact of multiple developments around the lake, which Mooder noted. “I sympathize with the people who live on the roads near this site,” said Coun. Val Wilkinson, “and I wonder whether it is possible that the roads could become hard-top roads in the future to make for better conditions.” Troy Dunlop, the town’s director of roads and public works, said that regular maintenance would probably be enough to deal with the wear and tear on the road, but that if it were to become an issue, a hard top road is something that could be considered. The proposed Lanark County Official Plan amendment: • Amend the designation of a 1.3-hectare portion of the subject property (the abandoned aggregate pit) from Licensed Aggregate Extraction Operation to Rural. This amendment will allow the property owners to convert the old gravel pit to a parking lot for the campground. “Right now, the pit really serves no purpose, and it hasn’t for 20 years,” said Mooder, “but it could be put to better use as a parking lot.” The proposed Mississippi Mills Community Official Plan amendments: • Amend the designation
of a 1.3-hectare portion of the subject property (the abandoned aggregate pit) from Aggregate Resource to Rural; • Amend the town’s plan in order to permit frontage and access onto a seasonally maintained open public road;
• Amend the town’s plan to permit 200 campsites instead of 100. The site is neighbour to a provincially significant wetland, which Mooder said he and the applicant are aware of and that they will not be dis-

turbing. “Our intention is not to touch any of the wooded or significant lands in the development of this property,” he said. It could take up to three to four months before the amendments are ready for a council vote.

Thieves continue to target parked vehicles News – Despite the recovery of stolen property from previous thefts and the identification of several suspects, thieves continue to target parked cars in Arnprior. OPP report that several vehicles were entered while parked overnight in Arnprior last week. Some vehicles were locked, others left unlocked overnight. All vehicles had valuables that had been left inside the vehicle stolen, including loose change, golf clubs and an iPhone.
Police urge motorists to “please remove valuables from your vehicle so you don’t become a victim of theft.” Meanwhile, a bike was stolen from outside the library in Arnprior. The bicycle, a yellow and red BMX Minnelli 18-speed, went missing between 2:30 and 4 p.m. on Monday, March 17. DOMESTIC DISPUTES
Renfrew-Arnprior OPP officers have responded to 15 domestic disputes during the past
two weeks. Last week, a man was charged with assault. The week before, a man was charged with assault causing bodily harm, two counts of assault, domestic mischief and breach of probation. A woman was charged with assault and a man was charged with two counts of assault and domestic mischief. The OPP stresses that domestic violence is a “serious and all-too-common crime in our society.” Police note that domestic violence is defined as
an incident of violence or threat of violence that may occur between two people who are involved, or have been involved in an intimate relationship. It may include physical or sexual force, harassing behaviour, emotional or psychological abuse, or verbal disputes. Each year, more than 40,000 arrests in Canada result from domestic violence - about 12 per cent of all violent crime in Canada. Since only 22 per cent of all incidents are reported to the police, the real
m a h n e k Pa 2014 The

number of victims is much higher, say police. They point out that most men are not abusive to their families. However, when domestic violence does occur, the victims are overwhelmingly female. TRAFFIC COMPLAINTS
Each week the local OPP respond to complaints received from the public concerning the erratic driving of motorists. Complaints range from speeding vehicles, unsafe passing and reports of people using hand-held cell phones while driving and possible impaired drivers. If the police are not in a position to intercept and stop the suspect vehicle, a warning letter can be sent to the registered owner of the vehicle advising of the complaint. The OPP urge residents to continue to call them if you have concerns about the unsafe driving of a motorist. The number is 1-888-310-1122 to speak to a police dispatcher 24 hours a day. OPP report that on March 20 at about 8:15 a.m., an of-
ficer was stopped on Highway 60 with a motorist with the emergency lights on his cruiser activated. Another motorist passed a vehicle that was slowing down for the officer and proceeded to pass the officer without lowering her speed. A 44-year-old Pembroke woman was stopped and charged for failing to slow for a stopped emergency vehicle. The charge comes with a total fine of $490 and three demerit points. On March 17, a motorist was stopped on O’Brien Road in Renfrew at 10:30 a.m. for failing to wear a seatbelt. The officer located open alcohol in the vehicle. A McNab-Braeside man was issued a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt and having open liquor in a vehicle. SEXUAL ASSAULT
OPP are investigating after a male reported being sexually assaulted several years ago. The investigation is in the early stages and OPP Detective Constable Wendy Saunders is leading the investigation.

News - Members of OPP Anti-Rackets Branch are warning computer users of a variation on so-called ‘ransomware’ that is hitting close to home. Ransomware is a fraudulent threat to online security has been around since 2006 but only surfaced in Canada in late-2011. This malware is first installed by visiting malicious websites set up by criminals. The ransomware produces what has been called a ‘Police Trojan’ or ‘scareware’, because a notice pops up that appears to come from a law enforcement agency. Two recent complaints indicate the well-known OPP shoulder flash – the logo seen on the uniforms of provincial police officers – is on the pop-up to amplify the perceived threat and come between unaware people and their money. “I find it very concerning and that the criminal use of the OPP logo requires investigation. Always use common sense and be very suspicious of ransomware messages,” said OPP Deputy Commissioner Scott Tod. “Ransomware rips data and personal informa-
tion needed to fuel further criminal activities, such as credit card fraud and routing payments to offshore accounts from the victim’s computer. The best way to go is to stay away from suspicious websites in the first place.” The message is a false accusation of accessing child pornography or other file-sharing websites and subsequently tells the consumer that a fee needs to be paid via money transfer or credit card to unlock the computer. When the victim submits their payment details, the criminals then steal and use personal information, fuelling further criminal activities. In 2013, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) received 2,828 reports from Canadian consumers who have reported receiving the ransomware popup message. Of those, 129 victims were identified as having lost a total of more than $15,800.00 – roughly $122.50 per victim. If you suspect you or someone you know has been affected by ransomware, contact local police, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Community – An Arnprior family whose infant daughter has a rare syndrome says the community’s support continues to help ease their stress.

MAS is extremely rare, affecting 1-9 in 1,000,000 and 7.1 per cent of children with it develop Cushing’s Syndrome, including Briar.

Arnprior atom Packers claim league cup in Petawawa Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com
Sports – The Arnprior Packers competitive atom team capped off a successful season by winning the league championship on Sunday, March 23. The Packers were the team to beat this year, finishing atop the regular season standings with a record of 18 wins, 3 losses and 3 ties. A scoring machine, led by the likes of Sam Pianosi and Keaton McGrath, the team overwhelmed the competition with speed and solid positional play. However, when it came to the final series the Packers found themselves back on their heels. Petawawa peaked at the right time and barreled their way through the playoffs, determined to steal the cup from Arnprior. Game one at home saw the Packers nearly out-chanced and needing a power-play goal to ensure a 2-1 victory. The victory gave them two points; the first team to four points won the series. Game 2 in Petawawa was a nail-biter. The Patriots kept the play in Arnprior’s zone for much of the first period. Were it not for goal-
tender Tyler Klinkenberg all but standing on his head, the year may have ended differently. But the team held firm and scored on their first opportunity. After that they grew stronger and more confident as the game went on, pocketing three more. Porter Robertson replaced Klinkenberg at the halfway point and won a shutout along with his team’s 4-0 victory. After the cup, plaque and medals were awarded by the league president, and after all the gloves and helmets were gathered up and brought into the dressing room full of excited players and parents, the team captain shared a few words in the hallway. GREAT SEASON
“The season went great. It was amazing winning the championship; my first time ever,” said Jake Pianosi. “They were a tough team, but we never gave up. We never gave up all year. It was a great year.” See ATOMS Page 24
CORY KLINKENBERG/SUBMITTED
Arnprior’s atom rep team won the league championship last weekend, after finishing first overall during the regular season. Along with goalies Tyler Klinkenberg and Porter Robertson are players A.J. Anas, Ben Burnette, Cam Dorken, Sam Dunn, Ryan Klinkenberg, Nathaniel Leduc, Keaton McGrath, Ryan McKenzie, Connor Naismith, Matteo Nixon, Sam Pianosi, Jake Pianosi and Jack Thomson. Coaches are Peter Anas, Peter Burnette and John Robertson. The manager is Rae-Anne Porter.

Town lawn bowler earns recognition at Ottawa Sports Award banquet championship matches between Ontario and Quebec. This is the third time that Jefferies has achieved the recognition of Ottawa Lawn Bowler of the Year. But it is not only competing at lawn bowls where he excels. He is the greenskeeper at the Galetta Bowls Club, where, as a result of his meticulous dedication, he has transformed it into one of the best in Ontario. Jefferies also officiates at local and high level bowls competitions and is one of two head umpires for four eastern districts of the Ontario Lawn Bowls Association (OLBA). As a registered lawn bowls coach with OLBA,
Jefferies brings a wealth of experience from years of winning games and his passionate study of the “amazing sport” of lawn bowls. The Ottawa Sports Awards is touted as the most comprehensive and inclusive amateur sports recognition awards event in Canada. From an initial 16 amateur athletes being honoured in 1953 to about 100 athletes, teams, coaches, administrators, officials and volunteers being recognized this year, the awards program has matured with the rich sporting community of Ottawa. “Congratulations to Dave Jefferies for your continued success,” he was told when receiving the award.

Nicholson looks back with pride at sledge hockey’s Paralympic debut Sports - When the puck dropped to begin the 2014 Paralympic Winter Games, it marked 20 years since sledge hockey made its debut on the biggest stage in sports. Sledge hockey first appeared on the Paralympic program in Lillehammer, Norway, in 1994, with five teams competing: Canada, Estonia, Great Britain, Norway and Sweden. Despite the sport being new to the Games, the competitors weren’t new to one another. In 1992, Canada had hosted the World Cup in Hull, Que., and come out victorious against some of the same teams they would see again two years later. West Carleton native son and Arnprior District High School graduate Todd Nicholson, a member of Canada’s National Sledge Team from 1992 to 2010, says the tournament prepared the team for the style of play they’d see in Europe. Just like today, the European teams played a more positional game - dictated by the larger ice surface they’re accustomed to - and the North American teams countered with a more physical game.
The players also met up with a few make-shift sledge teams in preparation for the Games. There were a lot of able-bodied players taking up the game as well, says Nicholson, and they provided some opposition to help the national team get Games ready. Just getting to those Lillehammer Games proved to be a financial challenge. With no team funding back then, the players paid for expenses out of pocket. Nicholson estimates it cost him between $4,000 and $5,000 to go to Norway. It was a burden he and his teammates were willing to bear to grow their game. “We realized where the sport was and what it was going to take to get the sport to evolve to where it is today,” he says. “For us as athletes it was an honour to be able to compete in the same venues and have our Games in the same place as where the Olympics had been held.” The players also knew they had to show their athletic mettle. IMPORTANT MOMENT
“We understood how important this moment was,” says Nicholson. “And we needed to ensure that the sport was competitive and entertaining enough. The last thing we wanted was for anybody to feel sorry for us. We were not crippled kids or people playing a game for fun.” Canada opened its schedule against Sweden. For Nicholson, who would go on to compete in four more Games, the memory of that first time on Paralympic ice remains. He still recalls skating around the net in warm-up and seeing his parents in the crowd. “It was easy to find them - there were only about 150 people in the stands.”
MEDALS
Nicholson would help Canada win silver in 1998 and captain the team to gold in 2006. He’s now attending his sixth Paralympic Games in Sochi, but his first off the ice. In his current role as the chair of the International Paralympic Committee’s Athlete Council, Nicholson sat in the executive box at the opening ceremonies. Just a few seats away sat Vladimir Putin. Despite no longer wearing the Canadian jersey, Nicholson was still waving the flag, jokingly apologizing to the Russian president about Canada already taking two hockey gold medals home from his country. “I apologized ahead of time that if the sledge team also wins then we know where hockey belongs,” Nicholson laughs. “His comment to that was we’ll have to see, and if that does happen I can’t guarantee you’re going to get out.” Nicholson could never have imaged where he or the sport would find themselves in 2014. Both the number of athletes playing sledge hockey and the number of media members covering them has grown substantially. And advances in equipment have brought even more skill to the ice. Looking back at 20 years of sledge hockey in the Paralympic Games, Nicholson says he’s grateful the sport was welcomed into the program, al-

lowing not only the players the chance to live out their competitive dreams but also fans the opportunity to watch these high-performance athletes compete. This year’s Canada sledge hockey team lost the U.S. in the semi-final, but won a bronze medal by blanking Norway 3-0 in its final game.

GETTING READY
Canada would drop its first Paralympic game 2-1 to the Swedes. A lack of knowledge about the sport and 10 a.m. start times initially deterred people from coming to the games. But as the week went on and word spread about the level of competition, the crowds got larger; Nicholson estimates by the end of the tournament up to 4,000 fans were coming out. Among those were hundreds of local school kids. Six schools had been assigned to Canada, and the students would show up daily decked out in red and white and waving the Canadian flag. The support did not go unnoticed. “We split up into six groups and visited the schools while we were there to say thank you,” says Nicholson. Canada would not allow a goal the rest of the way. It beat Estonia 5-0 and battled both Norway and Great Britain to scoreless draws. At the end of the round-robin, a 1-1-2 record left Canada tied with Great Britain for third place. The two countries would play for bronze. Canada won the rematch 2-0. Sweden defeated Norway 1-0 in a shootout to capture the sport’s first Paralympic gold medal. Even though the team expected gold going in, Nicholson says he felt proud having the bronze put around his neck. He also says it’s probably what the team deserved. “You hope when you come home that the best team won,” he says. “I feel I came home from those Games realizing and understanding that the best team did win. We realized what we had accomplished and were able to follow that up as the years progressed.”

Juvenile Packers need one point for title Sports - The Arnprior Juvenile Packers have opened up a 3-1 point lead in their championship series with Osgoode Rideau In the series opener at Arnprior March 20, Osgoode jumped to a 4-0 lead in the last half of the first period, catching the Packers flat-footed. Curtis Watson scored the Packers first goal with 23 seconds remaining in the first period. The Juvenile Packers came out in the second period with fire in their eyes, scoring four quick goals ending the first period one goal behind 65. Brandon Lafreniere scored the tying goal at the 5:38 mark of the third period. Tyler Virgin got the go-ahead goal for the Packers at the 10.28 mark of the third. The atmosphere in the Nick Smith Centre was electric. Osgoode was very determined and kept coming at the Arnprior defence. They pulled their goalie for the extra attacker and peppered the Arnprior goalie until they scored with 25 seconds remaining for a 7-7 tie. Game one set the tone for game two with both teams looking like winners and evenly matched.
Game two was in Osgoode Monday night and you could feel the tension between the two teams. There was excitement in the stands with spectators lining up across from their respective teams benches. The Arnprior fans went crazy when Chad Brennan forced a turnover and scored on the breakaway at the 12:18 mark of the first period. The Packers were there to win and they never looked back. Casey Shipman, the Packers captain, scored three goals in four minutes to make it 4-0 in the second period until Osgoode got a power-play goal. The Packers Boden Zvonarich and Curtis Watson both scored, ending the second period 6 to 1 Arnprior. Lance Laventure started the third period scoring for the Packers with a beautiful top shelf shot from the blue line. Mitch Crozier scored a pair and Brandon Lafreniere tallied with a 1:48 remaining. The Arnprior Juvenile Packers won 10-1. Game three is set for this Friday, March 28 at 8:30 .pm. A win or a tie will give Arnprior the championship. “Come out and cheer these Arnprior kids on to a title.�

happy for them. “This was a great end to a great season of hockey.

Young local skiers excel at championships Anne Lefebvre Calabogie Ski Racing Club
Sports - With the race season rapidly coming to a close, Calabogie’s alpine racers finished with a bang. Each division participated in regional championships over the March Break, and amid a series of medals, ribbons, and personal bests, each skier gave it their all and left it all on the hill. For championships, the athletes are divided into year-of-birth for overall results. The U10s and U12s kicked it off with their races March 8-9 at Vorlage and Mont Ste. Marie, Quebec. The first day was slalom – stubby (short) gates for U10s and full gates for U12s. Louise Stonham of Arnprior finished in second for the 2005 girls, with Nicole Duff snagging her first-ever podium by landing close behind in fifth. Unfortunately, a close encounter with a t-bar put Tori Cotter of Ottawa out of the race. For the 2004 boys, Noah Matthews of Calabogie also managed a fifth, and Thys Blok of White Lake continued his top-10streak with an eighth. Nolan Guttin of Mountain finished two solid runs, displaying the amazing progress he has made this year. Connor Guttin of Mountain and Riley Cotter of Ottawa also gave it all they had, but their speed got the best of them and they both DQ’ed. Wyatt Campbell-Brunke of Renfrew flew in on a winning streak, only to see the streak die when he crashed spectacularly on both runs. The U12s raced their slalom immediately after the U10s. Annabel Wight of Kanata skied to 16th in the 2002 girls’ division, followed closely by Tess Schreider of Kingston in 19th and Kasey Keyes of Nepean in 21st – personal bests for all of these hard-working girls. Sam Alexander of Carp and Wesley Matthews of Calabogie stepped up on the podium for the 2002 boys – claiming second and third. Lucas Zohr of UOV and Luke Hansen of Renfrew were just outside in sixth and seventh. Luke has demonstrated amazing improvement this year, especially for a rookie racer. James Gaffney of Deep River and Ryan Geddie of Kanata cross-blocked their way down the course as well, earning 17th and 24th overall. The 2003 boys skied beautifully too. Carson Lefebvre of Calabogie was on his way to the podium, sitting in third, when he missed a gate on the second run. But Jeremy Van Grunsven of Odessa finished both and collected a fifth-place ribbon. Aidan Maclean of Manotick skied to a PB of 14th place. The next day was giant slalom at Mont Ste. Marie. Louise Stonham fearlessly sped to
second again in the 2005 girls’ category, and Nicole Duff and Tori Cotter also finished two awesome runs. Noah Matthews inched up to second place in this race, and Thys Blok capped off his season with his first-ever podium – a fifth-place result. Riley Cotter, who is one of the youngest in his division, also skied two super runs. Wyatt Campbell-Brunke had another tough day – he crashed on his first run, but he refused to give up. On his second run he was determined to finish with a smile – and so he did with a fourth-place time. The U12s skied their hardest too. For the 2002 boys, Sam Alexander pulled off a firstplace finish this time, and Wesley Matthews managed to snag fifth. Luke Hansen skied two clean runs. Lucas Zohr fell on his first run but was able to finish, and returned with a vengeance on his second run, beating his first time by seven seconds. James Gaffney and Ryan Geddie also displayed some nice carving. The 2003 boys were mostly successful – Jeremy Van Grunsven stepped it up to claim third place, while Aidan Maclean powered down the hill for another top-20 finish. Carson Lefebvre lost a ski in the first run, and was carrying so much speed that he flew right out of the course, but he came back strong-minded and nailed his second run. Combined with a speedy slalom result the day before, it was enough to allow him to step on the podium for the first time, to pick up a thirdplace medal. March 15-16 saw the U14s at Mont Ste. Marie for their Championship giant slalom, followed by slalom the next day at Edelweiss. Lauren Campbell-Brunke of Renfrew and Sophia Tan of Kanata made it a 2-3 finish for the year 2000 girls in the giant slalom. Emma Schreider of Kingston was just outside the top-10 in 13th, while Alex Kerr of Kemptville stayed close behind in 16th, and Jessica Earle of Ottawa hot on her heels in 18th. Alyssa Steggall achieved a personal best this season, finishing sixth for the 2001 girls. Sam Duff of Pembroke made his win for the year 2000 boys look effortless as he put together some beautiful turns. Liam Maclean and Aiden Keuninckx skied to spectacular seasonbest results, with Liam snagging ninth in his age group, and Aiden so close with 11th. For the year 2001 boys, Jack Alexander of Carp grabbed third place and Connor Allen of Manotick was just off the podium in seventh. Owen Barr of Carp has continued to rapidly improve, and he proved it on this day by landing in the top-10 – in 10th. Tyler Lefebvre of Calabogie skied the best
giant slalom run of his season and was sitting in third place, but he crashed on his second run. Sean Swayze of Braeside also skied one clean run and dramatically blew up on the second. The slalom at Edelweiss was equally entertaining. Lauren Campbell-Brunke managed to grab fourth place in this race. Sophia Tan was just off the podium. Emma Schreider and Jessica Earle finished only 77-hundredths apart. Alex Kerr and Alyssa Steggall left it all on the hill but both faced DSQs. The 2001 boys killed it – Jack Alexander, Sean Swayze, and Connor Allen went 2-3-4 on the podium for Calabogie. This was Connor’s podium debut. Tyler Lefebvre and Owen Barr were also crowded into the top with Tyler just off the podium in seventh. Meanwhile, Liam Maclean skied two amaz-
ing runs for the 2000 boys, while Sam Duff recovered from a crash on his first run to smoothly attain the fastest time on the second. Aiden Keuninckx found his speed on this day but tangled with gates for two DSQs. March 8-9 also saw the U16s race their championships, followed almost immediately by Provincials at Calabogie Peaks. Stay tuned for upcoming news on these talented skiers. The last races for the skiers are just around the corner. Some of the U10s and U12s competed in Huntsville at the Ontario Championships March 22-23, while some U14s and U16s treked to Timmins for a Slalom Derby. The final race – a dual slalom - will be hosted at Calabogie Peaks Saturday, April 5.

New-look second floor of museum to open Sunday Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com
PHOTOS BY JOHN CARTER/METROLAND
Town of Arnprior town council and staff members toured the well-lit second floor of the Arnprior and District Museum prior to the March 18 council meeting. From left are acting mayor Dan Lynch with Algonquin College applied museum graduates Lyndsey Sullivan, Caitlin Hudson (project co-ordinator) and Alix McLeod and helper Chris Dubsky. On the right are Coun. Ted Strike and museum curator Janet Carlile. The clothing and textiles that were housed in the facility’s basement are now out for all to enjoy. “We’ve got a pretty wide selection - a lot of textiles on display. We’re bringing a lot of these out from the basement for the first time,” said Hudson. A section that looks at modern day Arnprior and area includes an opportunity for people to leave their own stories. “So they can also contribute to the exhibit,” she said. Community input and contributions have been an important part of the process all along. VOLUNTEER SUPPORT
“We’ve had great support from volunteers, so that’s been really fantastic,” said Hudson.
A survey was issued last year to help museum officials decide what to include in the renovated space. “The survey was really helpful in terms of indicating what topics people were really interested about,” said Hudson. And she hopes the input will continue. “What I want to happen with this exhibit is for it to be updated regularly. People can leave suggestions for what they want to see. It’s a museum about Arnprior so I’d like for the people of Arnprior to shape it.” Council members and staff enjoyed the March 18 tour. Visitors at the ‘sneak peek’ included Deputy Mayor Dan Lynch and Coun. Ted Strike, as well as Wildman and marketing and economic development officer Lindsay Wilson. Members of the press were also in attendance. “Council continues to be impressed with ef-
Chris Dubsky and Lyndsey Sullivan with the First Nations in Arnprior exhibit, one of the many on the museum’s second floor. forts of all involved from the museum board, to Janet and to the rest of her team. We are all looking for to the grand reveal,” said Lynch. HOURS, ADMISSION
After this Sunday’s opening the museum, which still has the Royal Ontario Museum’s travelling exhibit Northern Owls on display on the main floor, will be open Tuesday to Saturday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Winter hours return after the close of the Northern Owls exhibit April 11. Admission cost is $3.50 for adults, $2 for students and seniors and free for kids under six.

News – Months of creative thinking, community involvement and hard work come to fruition this Sunday with the unveiling of the Arnprior and District Museum’s renovated second floor. Led by museum curator Janet Carlile and Caitlin Hudson, exhibition interpretive planner and co-ordinator, the transformation began with a donation of state-of-the-art modular Qbit display panels valued at more than $250,000 from the Museum of Civilization. Town officials credit Carlile for brokering the deal for the Q-bits and for her continued excellent work at the museum. Arnprior CAO Michael Wildman, who toured the almost-complete second floor March 18 with other town representatives, is impressed with the work. “Janet has a knack for making the impossible, possible. With a very tight budget, her team of dedicated volunteers, Algonquin grads and other community supporters, Janet has managed to transform the second floor of the museum into a modern state-of-the-art facility which is unrivaled in Eastern Ontario. I can’t wait to see the finished product.” Visitors can see for themselves this Sunday, March 30 at a special Sunday opening of the museum from 2-4 p.m. “It’s definitely a great opportunity for the public to come in and check out the exhibit,” said Hudson. New windows, blinds, floor, paint and lighting are among the improvements on the second floor. The exhibits focus on wide variety of topics, including the Champlain Sea that existed in the area about 12 million years ago. “We’ve got a really, really cool fossil on display,” she said. The Laird of McNab and the evolution of local businesses are also featured parts of the exhibit. Another exciting new feature is the display that chronicles the military contributions of Arnprior people from 1860s to present day.

Local linedancers got together to entertain and have fun on St. Patrick’s Day at the Nick Smith Centre. From left, in back, are Sharon Roper, Barbara Glasgow, Diane Major, Colleen Blimkie, Joanne Laverty, Carole St. Michael and Eva Kaerbye and in front are Donna Wickie, Rosemary Drziak, instructor Hyacinth Chatterton and Faye Young and Beth Deveaux. JAY KOCH
New beginner linedance sessions oered Lifestyle – The recent free-for-55-year-andover linedance program offered at the Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior is being followed up by beginner sessions this spring. The free seniors program ran Mondays from Feb. 3 to Mach 3. It gave participants of that age group an opportunity to discover the ease and joy of movement within this dance-form; reap some of its physical benefits, which include increased flexibility, improvement of muscle-tone and balance, mental stimulation and mild aerobics; and enjoy movement to the wide variety of music that is currently used for this popular activity. Delivery of the free program was the result of a three-way sponsorship between the Seniors At Home, the Nick Smith Centre and instructor Hyacinth Chatterton. There were 51 in attendance for the program during the month- long period, with an average of about 35 per session. Due to the success of this innovative series, a new linedance program will be offered by the NSC, in addition to the one which is currently available for dancers with previous experience. This new program will be designed for beginners and, like the current program, will welcome both genders and all ages. It will start on Monday, March 31 and run weekly to May 26, from noon to 1 p.m. with registration in person at the NSC on March 24. Further information is available from the
NSC at 613-623-7301; out-of-towners may preregister with the instructor at 613-623-0976. NOTES
The spring 2014 session of the current, wellestablished linedance program for the novice/ intermediate levels will run on Mondays from 1:30-3 p.m. going also from March 31 to May 26. In addition to the NSC in Arnprior, other sites where the program is delivered by the same instructor are Almonte (Almonte Community Centre), Carleton Place (Carambeck Community Centre), and Pakenham (Stewart Community Centre). These dancers (The Hy-liners) volunteer and perform on a regular basis at local hospitals and seniors’ residences, and also for special fundraisers and other similar events. For several years Chatteron has organized an annual springtime linedance workshop as a fundraiser for a popular, interdenominational children’s camp in the valley. This year’s event is scheduled for Saturday, April 12 at the Christian Education Centre on John Street North in Arnprior. Over the years, participants have attended the centres mentioned above from a wide area, including Almonte, Arnprior, Braeside, Carleton Place, Carp, Constance Bay, Eganville, Fitzroy Harbour, Kanata, Kinburn, Merrickville, Pakenham, Renfrew, Stittsville, Waba andWhite Lake.
Historian to give evening lecture series at Galilee Lifestyle – Buoyed by the success of the lecture series he gave last fall in Arnprior, local historian Terry Currie is offering an encore. Last fall he presented a series of six lectures entitled ‘A History of the Ottawa Valley’ as a fund-raiser for the Galilee Centre. It was presented Monday afternoons at the Centre and drew 51 people. Each person paid $50 for the entire series. Currie gave a talk on the Ottawa Valley’s Great Fire of 1870 last week at a Huntley Township Historical Association meeting in Carp that attracted more than 80 people. He notes that the Arnprior series attracted quite a lot of attention from working people who have asked the Galilee Centre to put the same series on again, only this time in the evening. In agreement with the demand for a repetition of the series, the Galilee Centre will present Currie and his ‘A History of the Ottawa Valley’ starting at 7 p.m. on Monday,
Terry Currie April 7 in the lower hall. Best entry is by the down staircase on the left of the main entrance. Currie says that the preparation of the lecture series was one big series of surprises for him as he went along. He has incorporated some of the surprises into the titles of the sessions.
The series is formed around six themes, one for each lecture. In order, they are: • the Physical Ottawa Valley: “A truly unique landscape and crazy weatherâ€?; • the coming of the Natives: “Puzzles in human migrationâ€?; • the coming of the French: “The uniqueness of France in Americaâ€?; • the coming of the Scots: “Why the Valley is full of Scots names and Irish peopleâ€?; • the coming of the Irish: “What foot do you shovel with?â€?; • the lost nation of the Ottawa: Language , history and culture of the Ottawa Valley People. Currie believes that the Ottawa Valley and its people are unique and he brings out the specialness of all that in his talks. The talk is selling quickly. Tickets are available from the Arnprior Bookstore (613-6238800) and the Galilee Centre (613-623-4242).

morning: “She’s here ... she’s here.” That’s all the station master had to say. We knew the hand-medown box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina had arrived on the C.P.R. train. Of course, there was no touching it until after supper, the kitchen

had been redded up, and our hands washed. Why we had to wash our hands before we touched a wood crate that come all the way from Regina by train was something I could never understand, but no one got near the box, or the mounds of clothes packed inside until we had thoroughly washed our hands! The reason Emerson was in a state was because a nice storebought sweater had been claimed by Earl. Alpaca, it was, Mother said. We had to admit it was a fine specimen of a sweater, and it fit Earl to a ‘T’. Earl, being several sizes smaller than Emerson, and weighing about 50 pounds less, was the logical owner of the newly arrived sweater, once worn by a rich cousin in Regina. But Emerson claimed since he was older he should have had first pick, and as far as he was concerned the sweater would fit. “It’s supposed to be tight ... that’s the style of it,” he reasoned. Mother would have no part of the argument. The sweater was Earl’s and that was the end of it. Alas, if that were only the case. The entire box was emptied, and, as usual, there was nothing in it for my sister Audrey or
me ... all boys’ clothes. We knew some of Uncle Jack’s suits would eventually be made into skirts or jumpers for us, and the dresses Aunt Lizzie had no more use for, being several sizes too small for Mother, would be turned into blouses. The contents of the entire box had been sorted, pawed over, and put into piles, and the empty box moved out to the summer kitchen, where it would eventually be pulled apart and used for kindling for the Findlay Oval. It looked like Earl was the only one who had anything decent out of the whole box. That is, everything else had to be cut down to size, let out, pressed or passed on to the rummage sale the Salvation Army held once a year in Renfrew. The whole evening was spent pawing over the clothes from Regina, with Emerson still insisting the one prize in the entire box, the Alpaca sweater, belonged to him. Earl had rolled it into a ball, and it was under his arm, and as far as he was concerned, he owned it, lock, stock and barrel! Even when we were on our knees around Mother saying our nightly prayers, Earl never let go of the sweater, and we
Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
knew he would be wearing it the next day to the Northcote School. Well, at the crack of dawn, which was when we five children were roused from our warm beds, all heck broke loose. Earl, who only cried if he was physically hurt, was crying like he had lost an arm. Between sobs he was calling Emerson every vile name he could think of. Mother left making the porridge and took the stairs two at a time to settle whatever was causing the uproar. Well, it was plain to see what had happened, and it was going to take a genius to fix it. In fact, not even a genius could repair the damage. How Emerson did what he did without being heard through the night would forever remain a mystery. But somehow he had snuck downstairs to Mother’s sewing basket; gotten her good scissors that no one could touch, and cut out the sleeves of the sweater.
And there he stood, fully dressed with a clean plaid shirt and over the top was the nowsleeveless sweater. He ignored the fact that it barely touched his waist. The arms fit, and to Emerson that was all that mattered. Now, Earl was small, but he was powerful when he was in full anger mode, and he attacked Emerson with fists flying. Everyone stood around in the upstairs hall, which was really Audrey’s and my bedroom, too stunned to enter into the battle. Even Mother looked like she had turned to stone. Earl grabbed at the sweater, latching onto a shoulder where it had been relieved of one of its sleeves, and pulled with all his might. And right before our eyes, the piece of yarn he had a firm hold on, reamed off the sweater, falling in a soft mound on the bedroom floor. Soon there was very little left to that side of the sweater. It was unravelling and if Earl kept
at it, soon there would be nothing left but the band on the bottom! Well, there was nothing to do but admit that was the last of the Alpaca sweater. Audrey said she doubted if even the wool could be saved. Mother said she would think of a punishment for Emerson after we had all gone to school, and she could get her wits about her. All the way out the long lane, Emerson walked half a mile behind us, like someone with Leprosy. If there was anything Emerson hated, it was doing house chores. Mother decided every night for a week he would redd up the kitchen, and that meant putting on a long white pinny, washing the dishes, drying them, and putting them into the cupboard. “Girls chores,” he called it. Earl didn’t think the penalty was severe enough, and so all the time Emerson was at his “Girl chores,” Earl sat on the bench behind the table making faces and sneering in Emerson’s direction. Emerson dared not complain, because he knew Mother could easily add another house chore to his punishment ... like peeling potatoes or making the toast in the morning. More girl chores!

Geriatric assessors helping older adults to get support they need
245 DANIEL ST S, ARNPRIOR
Lifestyle - For older adults, a change in one’s physical, mental or functional abilities can be cause for concern. When such a change occurs, the
person’s physician, family member or Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) care co-ordinator may request an assessment by a geriatric assessor. Geriatric asses-
sors are experts in the care of older adults, typically those over 65 years old. During a home visit, they conduct a multidimensional assessment of the
person’s physical state, eating habits, environment, abilities and medications. They also complete an in-depth cognitive analysis and look for any
signs of abuse or stress. By seeing patients in their natural environment, geriatric assessors have the time to ask important questions and see first-hand

some of the concerns that patients may have — details that patients may not disclose when visiting their physician. Once the geriatric assessment is completed, family members, care co-ordinators and physicians are contacted for additional information to complete a detailed report. The findings will help care providers to offer additional support or resources to patients. For example, patients may qualify for a referral to the Geriatric Clinic or Geriatric Mobile Day Hospital in Renfrew County, where they can work on some of the issues uncovered in their assessment.

Former teacher finds enjoyment helping out seniors Liz Wall Seniors at Home
Community - April is National Volunteer Month and as our agency, Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program (ABMSHP), relies heavily on volunteers, we would like to introduce you to some of ours. Say hello to Sylvia Patterson, former educator now one of our most dedicated volunteers. Patterson applied to be a volunteer with ABMSHP seven years ago, starting out as a volunteer receptionist and branched out from there. She still offers her time as a volunteer receptionist Friday afternoons and is now into her third year as chairman of the board of directors. As Chair, she attends all committee meetings once a month, including outreach, transportation and development committees, in addition to monthly board meetings. She tells us that volunteering is important to her. “Based on my years as an educator, I
firmly believe in human development. We all continue to learn throughout our lives and I’m motivated to see that seniors can continue to learn and adapt despite the challenges they might face. “I’ve spent many years looking after the young population; now it’s time for caring for the older ones,� she smiles. Patterson spent 30 years in education: 20 as a classroom teacher for Grades 2 to 8 and 10 years as an administrator, vice-principal and principal. She also spent many years representing teachers both locally and provincially through the Ontario Public School Teachers Federation. It is this experience that is appreciated and most helpful at the Agency. What does she like most about being a volunteer? Patterson likes helping others, learning new skills, the fun, meeting new people, learning about the health care system and “gets to work with other great people.�

Island View Retirement Suites in Arnprior held two St. Patrick’s celebrations, one on Friday, March 14 and the other on St. Patrick’s Day itself, March 17. Among those providing the entertainment to residents and visitors decked out in Irish green was Ken Ramsden.
Since 1996 she has been a member of Rotary Clubs International and is an active member of Emmanuel Anglican Church where she served as Sunday School superintendent for four years. Volunteering is important to your community, but when you can share this passion with a loved one, it is even better. Sylvia and husband Brian are involved in a threeyear project to build and paint figures for a Christmas crèche at their church.

changing to meet the needs of seniors.� Life began for Sylvia in Goderich, Ontario; the third child, only girl, of a family of
four children. She grew up in Grimsby and in 1965 her family moved to Ottawa. She finished school at Bell and Merivale high schools. Following high school, it was two years at McMaster University graduating with an honours degree in geography. She fulfilled a lifelong ambition and attended Ottawa Teachers’ College. After many years of teaching, she went back to school, Carleton University, and obtained a Masters of Education degree, a specialist certificate in Primary Education and Primary/ Junior Science Education. She married in 1970 and she and husband Brian have two children and one precious granddaughter, five-year-old Katherine ‘Kate’. Her hobbies included reading and gardening. But mostly, having been an educator, she is very interested in and loves watching her granddaughter learn as she develops and with Kate now in school Sylvia gets a window into what schools are like today.

Opinion – According to the Mayo Clinic, seasonal affective disorder (also called SAD) is a type of depression that occurs at the same time every year. If you’re like most people with seasonal affective disorder, your symptoms start in the fall and may continue into the winter months, sapping your energy and making you feel moody. Less often, seasonal affective disorder causes depression in the spring or early summer. SAD seems to be triggered by decreased exposure to daylight. Typically, it arrives during the fall or winter months and subsides in the spring. Symptoms are similar to general depression and include lethargy, loss of interest in once-pleasurable activities, interpersonal problems, irritability, inability to concentrate, and changes in sleeping patterns, appetite, or both. Experts don’t fully understand the cause of SAD, but leading theories place the blame on an out-of-sync body clock (circadian rhythm) or on improper levels of either the hormone melatonin or the neurotransmitter serotonin. Low Vitamin D stores can also be a factor in SAD. Vitamin D (the sunshine vitamin) is unique among vitamins in that it is possible to do entirely without the vitamin in your diet as long as you get enough exposure to sunlight.
Weight management, wellness and nutrition The problem is that many people do not. The 25-hydroxy vitamin D test is the most accurate way to measure how much vitamin D is in your body. The mainstay of SAD treatment is light therapy, also called phototherapy. Phototherapy involves daily sessions of sitting close to a special light source that is far more intense than normal indoor light. The recommendation is typically to get 30 minutes of exposure to light at an intensity of 10,000 lux each day, but optimum dosing remains a major question. NEEDING LIGHT
Some people need more light exposure than this, others need less, and although you do not need a prescription to purchase a light box to treat SAD, it is recommended to consult with a professional to monitor the benefits of the treatment. Alternative treatments such as St. John’s Wort, SAMe, Melatonin, and Omeg-3 fatty acids can help alleviate the symptoms of depression, as well as mind body therapies such as acupuncture, yoga, meditation, guided imagery and message therapy. However, alternative treatments alone
may not be enough to relieve your symptoms and some alternative treatments such as St. John’s Wort and SAMe can interact with other medications, especially antidepressants. Talk to your doctor before trying either of these remedies to make sure they’re safe for you. Cognitive therapy is a powerful tool that has no side effects and does not require a prescription. THINK POSITIVELY
Turn on some lights in your home, open up your window coverings and turn up the stereo and play some up beat music. It’s spring. Start your indoor spring cleaning and indoor spring projects. A mind can be fooled into believing whatever it is told. Think negative thoughts and you will become negative, think positive thoughts and you will feel positive. Give it a try, it works!

Community – What a friend L’Arche Arnprior has in Ellen Smith, the owner of Kirkman House Bed & Breakfast. Since December 2009, Smith has opened her magnificent home each year to L’Arche Arnprior, where it has held its ‘Gifts of Light’ celebration. The fundraiser is held on the first Saturday in December, in conjunction with the Dec. 3 International Day of Persons with Disabilities. It involves an expansive display of gift items, crafts, baking and preserves, which have been made by members and friends of the L’Arche Arnprior community. In addition, vendor space is offered to a variety of talented local crafters and to other non-profit groups operating in the Arnprior area. Not only is her home a wonderland of Christmas decorations, gifts and treats for this event, but it also provides an venue to share the gift of light, which is inherent in all of us. As Smith puts it: “This is my way of offering the L’Arche Arnprior community an outreach opportunity to emphasize the gift of light that is in each of us regardless of race, culture, colour or need.� The connection with Kirkman House has been an important piece of L’Arche Arnprior’s outreach to the broader community over the past five years. Thank you, Ellen, for your continued contribution to L’Arche Arnprior, as well as to the larger Arnprior community. Nancy Illman is community life coordinator with L’Arche Arnprior.

School councils to host free evening of fine dining, advice News – Start with dinner and finish with education as the Assembly of School Councils (AOSC) promises to fill your stomach with amazing food and fill your mind with proven concepts on the combination of education and parenting Wednesday, April 2 The AOSC, hosted by the Renfrew County District School Board’s Parent Involvement Committee (PIC), is an evening of problem-sharing and problem-solving on a variety of topics affecting students, parents and educators across Renfrew County. The assembly, at Fellowes High School in Pembroke, features a variety of experts in mental health, physical well-being, education, technology, parenting, language and student voice, sharing their expertise with teachers, principals, students and parents through a variety of talks and workshops. Renfrew County public school board PIC chair Tracy Somes and Minister’s Student Advisory Council representative and Arnprior District High School student Oliver Jacob will kick off the evening with a discussion on empowering youth. Following their discussion, attendees will break into smaller groups and attend two carousel sessions, chosen during registration and led by experts in their fields, on a variety of topics including mental health, modern parenting, mental math computation, Destination Imagination, character education, use of technology, concussions, French in Kindergarten, the Shaw Woods Education Centre and the student voice. But none of this will be done on an empty stomach. Dinner kicks off the AOSC starting at 5 p.m. with a meal of pork medallions in a creamy mushroom sauce and plenty of sides to choose from. There will also be a vegetarian option. For dessert, enjoy your choice of caramel apple cheesecake or cherry chocolate cake all prepared by Fellowes High School’s Hospitality Program students.

HEATHER LANG/SUBMITTED
The massed bands, in full kilt attire, congregate on the grounds of the Waba Museum as part of the 2013 Scottish Festival. Don a kilt or wear a plaid scarf, and come on out to the area’s first annual Tartan Day April 6 at the Horton Community Centre.
Tartan day April 6 has deep roots Boyd MacLaren
Lifestyle – What is Tartan Day? You’ll find out at a special Tartan Ceildih on Sunday, April 6, starting at 12:30 p.m., at the Horton Community Hall. An article in last week’s Arnprior Chronicle-Guide outlined the reason that the tartan is so important to the Scots. Indeed, the Scots were very unhappy after being forced to give up wearing tartan of any kind. Their anger towards King Edward I of England and his people was well shown in the movie Brave Heart. They were so upset that they created the ‘Kirking of the Tartan’. So what exactly is kirking of the tartan? A kirk is a church, which even back then was considered a ‘safe’ place. Warring factions or any enemy could not enter a kirk except for peaceful reasons. The Scots would carry a little piece of tartan somewhere concealed on their body or in their clothes. Once everyone was safely inside the kirk, the doors would be barred and the windows shuttered so that no one could see in. Then the discreetly hidden tartan would be brought out and blessed. The prayers of the blessing would always hold hope that the tartan would one day be allowed to be worn again. The treaty of Arbaoth on April 6, 1320, was an historic and important step towards restoring the use of the tartan and the bagpipes. The dating of this treaty had nothing to do with the date the Nova Scotia group picked for Tartan Day. But when Canada affirmed the date, it did so with the treaty’s date in mind. The treaty recognized that Scotland had been independent longer than England. It
recognized that Edward I had unjustly attacked Scotland and perpetuated atrocities on the Scottish people. It concluded that Robert the Bruce had delivered the Scottish nation and should no longer be thought of as a traitor. Perhaps one of the most important things that came to light as a result of that treaty was that Scotland’s independence was the prerogative of the Scottish people rather than any king, including a king of Scots. Unfortunately, the Pope’s allegiance tended to float back and forth between the Scottish and the English. Eventually the Act of Proscription came out in 1746, again abolishing the wearing of the tartan. While there is much speculation that the bagpipe was included, again there is no mention of it in the Act. However, there is evidence that after Culloden, the central government was eager to condemn and punish as many Jacobites as possible to make an example of them. When it was found that one soldier, James Reid, did not carry arms but bagpipes, the Court in York observed that “a Highland regiment never marched without a piper.� This was sufficient reason to condemn him to death in 1747 for playing a part in the Jacobite Rising. This may have been why there was the idea that the pipes were included in the Act. George IV visited Scotland in 1822, being heralded as a Stuart prince on par with Bonnie Prince Charlie and was himself a Jacobite king. It was in the pageantry of this visit that the Act of Proscription was repealed. This was in a way emphasized by a Grand Ball, which was to be held by the peers of Scotland to entertain the king. At this ball, the king had or-
dered a kilt for himself and set the condition that, unless in uniform (kilt or some form of tartan), “no gentleman is to be allowed to appear in anything but the ancient Highland costume.� At this, lowland gentlemen suddenly embarked on a desperate search for highland ancestry (however remote) and a suitable tartan kilt from the Edinburgh tailors, who responded inventively. This can be seen as the pivotal event when what had been thought of as the primitive dress of mountain thieves became the national dress of the whole of Scotland. Based on all of this history, it seems that the Scottish heritage has been faced with large obstacles in retaining the historic garb. The group in Nova Scotia made a good decision to establish a special event to celebrate the Scottish heritage. The Celts have spread all over the world for a variety of reasons, and there are six official Celtic nations - Scotland, Ireland, Brittany, Isle of Man, Wales and Cornwall, as well as many informal Celtic nations. Thus, Tartan Day came to be celebrated all over the world. The McNab and District Celtic Heritage Society is celebrating Tartan Day on April 6 at the Horton Community Centre. We suggest that you dig out your tartan finery and plan to join us at a potluck meal at 12:30 p.m. There will be music and dancing and a tartan-weaving demonstration by Bob Hinchley. Everyone is welcome to join us in this celebration. As King George IV required for the Grand Ball, we suggest that if you have tartan in kilt, plaid or any form, please wear it to your respective churches and then come to our event.

They disbanded in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;80s and Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Kane continued playing solo with a devoted following wherever he played. Throughout the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s he played at the Wellington in Kingston to a packed house every Friday and Saturday. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Kane went back to County Down in 2002 to pursue his other love, visual arts. In 2012, he broke his silence and released an album of his own material and an album of recordings from the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Gerry Nightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at the Wellington. He returned to Canada in November for the first time since 2002 and played a number of sold-out shows in both Toronto and Kingston. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Kane will return to Canada again this month and will be playing a series of shows in Toronto, Kingston and Ottawa, ending with a show at the John Street Pub in Arnprior on April 4.

Monthly Column by
John YAKABUSKI MPP
www.johnyakabuski.com The winter that never seems to want to end must surely be getting ready to bid us all adieu. It has certainly been one that is, as the old saying goes, “hard on the wood pile”. But no matter how you heat your home, whether it be by wood, oil, propane, natural gas or electricity, it has certainly put a great deal of strain on family budgets here in Renfrew-NipissingPembroke. As a consequence, and at the risk of being repetitive, energy and particularly the cost of hydro continues to be the number one issue our office is dealing with. I attended a meeting at the Legion in Barry’s Bay on March 1st where a capacity crowd made it clear in no uncertain terms that paying ones hydro bill was becoming more and more difficult. In fact we’re hearing from fixed-income seniors that they have to make the choice between paying their hydro bill and buying groceries.

Rallies planned for the 4th of April all across Ontario will I believe make it abundantly clear to the government that the people are, to paraphrase the old movie Network, “mad as hell, and they’re not going to take it anymore”. I will be attending, hopefully, at least a couple of those rallies if time and distance allows. As you know it’s a big riding, and getting from one end to the other can be a challenge. In the meantime my office welcomes and continues to receive stories of mismanagement at Hydro One and problems with the billing process. We take every one of them very seriously and seek resolutions, dealing directly with Hydro One if possible, and in other cases forwarding them to the office of the Ombudsman of Ontario. Normally by this time of year I should be talking about the upcoming provincial budget, to be presented by the government. In 2006 the Liberal promised that their budget, and every subsequent budget, would be delivered before the end of the fiscal year on March 31st. That commitment was not kept last year; but we understand that the circumstances were unusual in that Dalton McGuinty resigned and Kathleen Wynne was sworn in as Premier in February. Having said that, there is no excuse for a budget not to be tabled prior to the end of this fiscal year. The federal government tabled their budget on February 11th, and while it is customary for the provincial government to deliver their budget after the federal government, municipalities, hospitals, school boards, and so many other institutions rely on the tabling of the provincial budget in order to understand what their fiscal situation will look like for the year ahead. It should be noted that 6 other provinces have already tabled their 2014-2015 budgets. It is my belief that the government is delaying the budget because they are quite aware that they are missing their fiscal targets. The deficit rose by over $2 billion last year at a time when every other province moved closer to balance. Whether it’s going to be good news or bad news, the people of Ontario have a right to know the budget details. Quite frankly the longer Wynne delays a budget, the longer she postpones the inevitable confidence vote that she will have to face. Should she lose that vote, then the people of Ontario will have the opportunity to pass their judgment in a general election. Recently our leader Tim Hudak tabled his Million Jobs Act, which is a plan to get Ontario back to balance by: putting more people back to work, removing the barriers to employment, cutting red tape, and reducing the regulatory burden that makes it more and more difficult for businesses to be successful in Ontario. If the budget, whenever it is tabled, does not show a significant decrease in Ontario’s deficit and on the long term burden that growing debt places on our citizens, then I believe that there is no option but to go to the polls and let the people decide.
