Gillies Grove could change ownership Support for youth

Patricia Leboeuf

pleboeuf@metroland.com

EMC news - The Town of Arnprior has been offered the opportunity to take over the management of Gillies Grove Nature Reserve.

The offer comes courtesy of the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC), but would come with a conservation easement.

“Similar to any easement on a property, it restricts the rights of the owner in some way,” said town planner Robin Smith. “In this case, it would restrict the township from doing anything other than conservation with the

property.”

Every year, the town provides funds for the NCC and maintenance projects forecasted for completion in 2013 are estimated to cost $8,000.

This includes the Grove’s property management plan which costs $3,000. “If the town were to acquire the Grove property, the management plan would not be necessary,” said Smith.

Other maintenance costs would be less because the municipality would be on location to quickly deal with any issue, she added.

Many residents already take care of the trails.

“They walk the property,” said

White Lake Waterfront

613-623-7834 143 Elgin St. W., Arnprior KARGUS KARG Real Estat Estate Inc.

Smith. “They check for hazardous trees falling. They do garbage clean-up.”

During the town’s meeting on March 25, several concerns were brought up by council such as potential liability, future development and projects and a lack of expertise in managing the Grove’s unique needs. It may create some unforeseen risks.

“I’m not looking at the next three years,” said Reeve Walter Stack. “I’m looking at the next 30, 40 and 50 years. I think there is a real solid positioning to conserve that (Grove) just as it is.”

suicide program Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC news – A new suicide-prevention clinic in Renfrew County - called the first of its kind in Canada - got a thumbs-up last week from an Arnprior service group.

Arnprior Rotary will commit money to the Youth Crisis Support Clinic (YCSC) after a presentation at their regular meeting March 18 on the rise of teen suicides.

In Pembroke, where the nine-month pilot project will start on July 1, there have been 19 attempts since 2010, four completions, and anywhere between 20 to 50 threats per year.

Red Cross and Salvation Army have been called in to assist the homeowners. “It must have been scared,� Messier said, indicating the firefighter will recover from the dog bite.

Reports that one dog died at the scene on Saturday night are not true.

According to its website, “WAG is a non-profit organization that offers quality agility training in a relaxed and friendly environment. Our students learn for a variety of reasons — to have fun with their dogs, to spend quality time together, or to train for agility competitions.�

WAG has a second location in Dunrobin.

The owners could not be reached for comment.

Damage estimates have not yet been determined.

GREENHOUSE FIRE

A small greenhouse at 1324 Upper Dwyer Hill Rd. caught fire on Saturday, March 23, at about 3 a.m. Ottawa Fire Services responded to the scene and worked to keep the fire away from a nearby house.

Upon arrival, crews proceeded to extinguish the fire on the 10x35 greenhouse. There were no reported injuries and nobody was displaced. Reports indicate that the residence did have some siding damage caused by the heat of the fire. Damages are estimated at $10,000.

EMC news – A pet training business and home were destroyed by fire last weekend between Fitzroy and Dunrobin.

At about 6 p.m. on March 23, the Ottawa Fire Service responded to a 911 call reporting a garage fire at 4738 Torbolton Ridge Rd., near the corner of Galetta Side Road. Volunteer departments throughout the area soon descended on the West Carleton Dog Agility Group (WAG) summer location, where plumes of black smoke could be seen from across the region. “The fire started in the garage,� said fire services spokesman Marc Messier. “It was being fed by the

wind. We’ve deemed (the cause) as undetermined.�

The fire quickly spread from the garage to the home. It was fully engulfed by the time fire crews arrived. One of two cars on site was also destroyed.

The married couple who owned the one-and-a-half storey home, along with their three dogs, managed to escape with their lives.

The man, in his early 50s, was taken to hospital in Almonte for minor smoke inhalation and chest discomfort.

Their daughter, who was 38 weeks pregnant, was visiting but not at the home when fire broke out. She, too, was taken to hospital as a precaution.

A dog was rescued by a firefighter from the base-

Council will look for more information It also straddles the line between Arnprior and McNab-Braeside.

If ownership is transferred, it would belong entirely to Arnprior.

There are positives to owning the property. “There are lots of benefits to the Grove,� said Robin Smith. “It’s considered a treasure within the town.�

The cultural significance, the recreational value, the tourism and economic possibilities and the ecological protection are all positive benefits the forest provides.

It is one of the last old-growth white pine forests within the Ottawa Valley and harbours ecological treasures such as the tallest white pines in Ontario.

It was awarded the status of national historic site in 1993 and thousands of visitors make their way to the forest for outdoor activities.

The NCC believes that the town has demonstrated the ability to care for such a unique property.

Council has elected to gather more information before proceeding to any decision.

EMC news – Organizers of the McNab Days festival will not be permitted to use the township logo in their promotions of the early summer festival.

The issue arose at the March 19 council meeting when Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie, who sits on the recreation committee, said the logo was not to be used.

“The recommendation is that they use their own logo and not use the township logo,” she said.

“The township logo cannot be used. This is Mcnab Days, not McNab-Braeside Days. I’m not in favour of our township crest to be applied to anything other than township business.”

Blimkie said the entire committee is in agreement. Coun. Brad McIlquham and Mayor Mary Campbell voted against the decision to direct festival organizers to not use the logo.

Blimkie and Coun. Bob Campbell voted to maintain the recommendation and it passed.

The township crest had been used on the admission buttons and other promotional material in the past and had been included in plans for this year.

“I’ve ordered 500 buttons that I’ll have to cancel,” said Mayor Campbell, adding the event began as a township initiative.

“It was raised by resolution in 2009,” she said. “It is a municipal event, the optics are very important.”

The deputy mayor made note that it had been agreed the township’s only support this year would be in-kind. Blimkie said the button design was never submitted to committee.

“You’re trying to push through something you want once again,” she said to Mayor Campbell.

NEW COMMITTEE MEMBER

Ralph Chown has been appointed to the township recreation committee. Deputy Mayor Blimkie was the lone vote against the appointment.

Gallant welcomes a fiscally responsible federal budget EMC news – MP Cheryl Gallant welcomes the new federal budget - Economic Action Plan 2013 – and its continued focus on job creation, economic growth, and long-term prosperity as good news for RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke. The Plan, which will see Canada return to balanced budgets in 2015, keeps federal taxes at their lowest level in 50 years.

“While Canada has the best job creation record among all G-7 countries since the worst of the global recession with over 950,000 net new jobs, we recognize that the global economy remains very challenging,” said Gallant. “In Economic Action Plan 2013, our Conservative government remains squarely focused on the number one priority of Canadians, with a forward-looking plan to help create jobs and grow the economy in Ontario and across Canada.”

She outlined that Economic Action Plan 2013 includes key measures to strengthen Canadaʼs economy, including: • Ensuring a Safe and Reliable Medical Isotope Supply: investing $144 million in AECLʼs (Atomic Energy of Canada Limited) Chalk River Laboratories to ensure Canada has a reliable supply of medical isotopes.

• Community Improvement Fund: announcing the Community Improvement Fund ($32.2 billion over 10 years through Gas Tax Fund payments and under the incremental GST Rebate) to help municipalities in Renfrew County and across Canada with stable and predictable funding to support community infrastructure projects.

• Building a Stronger Economy in Eastern Ontario: as part of the renewal of FedDev Ontario, the Eastern Ontario Development Program will be renewed as well. The program will continue to promote job creation and business development in rural Eastern Ontario.

• Increased skills and training support, including the new $15,000 Canada Job Grant, to help more Canadians find highquality, well-paying jobs; • Tax breaks for manufacturers who buy new machinery and equipment to stay competitive, and an extended ʻhiring creditʼ for small businesses who create jobs; • A record $70 billion federal investment in infrastructure across Canada, including roads, bridges, subways, rail lines, and ports; • Major investments in research and technology; • New tax relief for Canadians who give to charity, adopt a child, or rely on homecare services;

• Elimination of ʻimport taxʼ tariffs on everyday items Canadian families buy, like baby clothing, sports gear, and exercise equipment; Economic Action Plan 2013

also confirmed the Conservative governmentʼs continued all-time record support for hospitals, schools, and other important health and social services in Ontario.

The group’s chairperson Fawn Charron says “This will be an exciting combination of his masterful guitar playing and a fascinating account of the history of the blues.

Jack deKeyzer is the music professor we all wish we’d had in school.”

De Keyzer is the winner of two Juno awards and has recently been nominated for a 2013 Juno (Blues Album of the Year) for his new CD Electric Love. “Fans of all music genres won’t want to miss this event!” says Charron.

A question and answer period will follow the presentation. Seating is limited.

Tickets are $20 each and available at the library and Main Street School of Music.

All proceeds go to the Friends of the Library who are helping to coordinate the event.

This special performance is being held as part of a series of cultural presentations throughout the month of April.

“It all coincides with the 20th anniversary of the Arnprior Book Store,” says Arnprior Public Library’s chief librarian Karen DeLuca. The Book Shop is featuring a number of author events including visits from Nancy Richler, Tania Rideout, Barbara Fradkin, Mary Jane Maffini, Mike Demuth and a writer’s workshop with Susan Jennings.

To round out this cultural celebration, the library is presenting the musical performance with Jack de Keyzer and on April 14 an afternoon presentation about documentary film making. “We’re thrilled to have award winning film maker David Ridgen visit our library.

EDITORIAL

Time to make it a spring break The response to a recent web poll in The Chronicle-Guide shows some discontent regarding the timing of March break.

A few respondents wanted the break from school (and from work for many) expanded to two weeks, as is the case in provinces such as British Columbia.

Some people actually want the week-long break eliminated, but that’s not going to happen. Too much is invested economically in giving people an opportunity to take a week off for a late-winter holiday without their children losing a week of school. It’s a chance for merchants and travel agents to encourage people to spend away their winter blues.

However, the break could be scheduled at another time rather than mid-March.

It’s often referred to as spring break, which is a misnomer, as spring rarely arrives until after the week is over. So perhaps it should be made into a real Spring Break by moving it to late April or early May; especially now we have a Family Day long weekend in February.

Then maybe more people would holiday, and spend, closer to home instead of fleeing to warmer climes. But it wouldn’t make the ski hills and airlines happy.

However, the way global warming is upset-

ting our winters, it may not be too long when ski hills and other winter sports will be long over by mid-March.

Another train of thought is that the weeklong break be moved around in conjunction with Easter. That way the two late-winter/earlyspring breaks would be combined into one.

It would still give people the full week off, yet mean students would miss one less day of school. The missing school aspect seems to be a factor in some people’s thinking, especially as the number of snow days appears to be increasing as our weather becomes more bizarre.

The Easter Break link would also give the break an extra meaning, although only for Christians.

Another respondent was so bold to suggest that the week-long break from school shouldn’t be in March or spring-time at all. It should be in the first week of November, to coincide with hunting season, said the lad, who obviously has deep roots in the Valley.

No, March break should stay at least close to where it is now.

Probably the best solution would be to schedule it so the first day of spring falls within the week. That way we could all really have a Spring Break.

Ducks are currently head over tails in love

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way forward as the male utters a grating “yeep.�

This display is appropriately named the “head-throw-kick display.�

Male Buffleheads also use their heads to advantage but instead of kicks they perform bobs. The head, adorned with a white, puffy mid-section, is rapidly pumped up and down.

My favourite display is that of male Hooded Mergansers. Like Buffleheads and goldeneyes, Hoodies are small ducks that nest in tree cavities. The stunning black, brown, and white males bear a black-andwhite crest on the head. The crest is raised during courtship and what a sight it is to behold. Crest-raising is but one of a litany of

courtship displays that include Head-shaking, Head-throws, Head-pumping, and Ritualized Drinking (hmmm!).

Why do male ducks perform courtship rituals when they are not on nesting territories? It is because after mating, the males abandon the females, leaving them to care for the eggs and young on their own. Thus, the coy females will not mate until they have selected nest sites. But they choose mates now because a paired male fends off rivals. Good males defend good feeding areas, which is all the better for their females as they need to build up fat reserves necessary for egg-laying later. Thus, it makes good sense for female ducks to pair up now to gain important benefits, then wait until they are followed back to their nesting grounds to give their mates their longawaited rewards.

Now is the time to see the fascinating courtship rituals of ducks. But hurry. Headkicks, head-bobs, and crest-thrusts are only showing for a limited time in aquatic theatres near you.

The April meeting of the Macnamara Field Naturalists’ Club (www.mfnc.ca) features Dr. Jeff Bowman speaking about Flying Squirrels.

EMC lifestyle - Although spring’s onset seems to stagger at times, there are signs it has arrived. Buds are swelling, and Northern Cardinals now serenade the dawn. Redwinged Blackbirds are also singing but now their songs serve only to declare territorial ownership for there are no females to woo.

That sex wisely arrives a couple of weeks from now, after more favourable weather is here to stay.

Most birds including blackbirds and cardinals send out love songs only after a territorial claim has been staked. Songs are often accompanied by sumptuous courtship displays, such as the colourful red epaulette display of male Red-winged Blackbirds.

But some birds currently performing courtship displays have not yet claimed nesting territories. To see these visual promises of love just visit a large body of open water.

There you will find ducks in full display.

Many ducks such as Common Goldeneyes and Buffleheads are boreal forest dwellers that do not nest here. However, a few, such as Hooded Mergansers, do nest locally, but even then the majority of their kind are passing through to northern destinations. Despite not nesting here, northern ducks are currently displaying to females.

The displays of diving ducks are fascinating. Male Common Goldeneyes project their head straight out, then throw it back to the tail. As a climax, the head is thrust

Youth less comfortable with phone lines ‘Suicide is being talked about as if it’s a normal thing’ Continued from Front

But it is difficult to classify deaths as suicide, the taboo factor along with overlapping with other descriptions – such as single-vehicle accidents – obscure the true numbers.

Regardless of the numbers, parents such as YCSC founder Monique Yashinskie have experienced falling through the cracks when it comes to seeking help. Prior to her 18-year-old son Robbie Dean committing suicide, the family had few options.

“We were a family that fell into some of the gaps that existed,” said Yashinskie, who now lives in Petawawa.

Teens are often less comfortable with speaking on the phone, limiting the effectiveness of the Kids Help Line.

CHEO regularly has a sevenmonth wait list. The Phoenix Centre in Pembroke often has a year-long wait list. For a family in crisis, that can prove

too long.

The organization’s mandate can be a barrier: some won’t accept teens older than 18, regardless of when they joined the wait list; others won’t accept people under 18.

The YCSC will welcome people of all ages and regions, including West Carleton; if successful satellite offices could open in Renfrew and elsewhere throughout the county. It will also train those close to youths, including government youth departments, hospital staff and others. At least that was part of the message veteran social worker Tom Sidney brought to Rotary members, Arnprior Regional Health’s Eric Hanna, the town youth program’s Glenn Arthur, Kayla Menkhorst, Don Gougeon, and others.

“Suicide is being talked about as if it’s a normal thing to talk about,” Sidney said.

“It’s a huge, huge issue.”

The clinic will have three tiers: • A free walk-in clinic to deal with those in immediate crisis; • Support and guidance for family members and peers; • A prevention of self abuse course.

Sidney was careful to say the clinic will not offer counseling services; the goal is to lessen the number of people in hospital emergency rooms.

Rotary’s Bruce Buie was impressed with the presentation, and sees the need.

“Members of the Arnprior Rotary Club are concerned about the increasing incidence of teenage suicide and need to deal with mental health issues. This pilot project will provide an opportunity to test a new approach,” Buie said.

“The Arnprior Rotary Club DEREK DUNN/METROLAND has committed $3,500. A similar amount has been com- Youth mental illness is a large issue and parents often don’t know where to turn.

Book Trees coming Stompin’ Tom to be saluted at CP concert to Ottawa Valley communities Lyle Dillabough

EMC news - A new project is about to take root in the County and, after a call out to all municipalities looking for support and feedback, the communities that will be receiving Book Trees during the first phase have been chosen.

The ‘Book Tree’ Project is based on the model The Book Forest, which was developed in Berlin, Germany in 2006. Our Book Tree project will be the first of its kind in Canada.

The Renfrew County communities that have been chosen to receive the first four Book Trees are the Town of Arnprior, the Township of Killaloe, Hagarty & Richards, the Town of Petawawa, along with the City of Pembroke.

Each community has offered full support towards the project and will play an active part in the installation and positioning of the units for maximum utilization, placing each of the units in an accessible community spaces identified through community engagement, consultation using selection criteria developed by the Project Team.

The four communities that were selected met the criteria presented by the Book Tree committee and provided feedback by the submission deadline. It is planned that the first Book Trees will welcome visitors and users in the Spring of 2013.

The Book Trees are currently under construction

by Mike Graham of Calabogie Rustic Furniture (of Calabogie, Ontario). Using native tree species from his managed forest, Mike and his team are playing an integral role in the design specific for the Ottawa Valley. Says Mr. Graham; “As part of the local valueadded wood industry, we pride ourselves on our ability to creatively use our

natural resources. To be paired with a literacy project that will help communities across the County is a very unique opportunity, and one we’re proud to be partner with.”

Funding for the Book Tree Project was made possible from an Ontario Ministry of Children and Youth Services-Community Action Research and Innovation Funds grant through the County of Renfrew Best Start Network. The objective of the project is to create a tool to promote literacy in the community.

An interactive outdoor display, The Book Tree will allow children and adults the opportunity to drop off gently-loved books, pick up free books and track registered books travelling from tree to tree and home to home anywhere in the County of Renfrew using the international book sharing site www.bookcrossing.com.

The Book Tree Project is also a great product and/or tool to enhance many of the municipal tourism, downtown revitalization and/or parks & recreational efforts. Each installation will also feature an educational opportunity about how logging plays an integral role in the Ottawa Valley’s economic development.

The Project Team thanks the other communities who have identified themselves as locations for the next phase of the rollout, including the Town of Deep River, the Town of Laurentian Hills, and the Township of Madawaska Valley.

day. May 11.

This show is not a “tribute” but rather its meant to be a “salute” to Stompin Tom and all that he stood for. Just as he wrote in his final “letter” to his fans and the nation, he has “passed the torch” and it is now “up to us” to go forward and promote Canadian sing-

ers/songwriters and songs.

Therefore we will be featuring: - The sensational “newcomer” (and CBC contest finalist) Henry Norwood of Perth.

-Ottawa Valley “legend” (and member of the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame) Freddy Dixon and his

group.

-”Valley Darling” Darlene Thibault & Smokey Rose -”Ottawa Valley Troubadour” plus Guest Emcees, preshow “meet & greet” and display/exhibit **A very special evening this will be. Hope you all can come!

Tickets will be only $20.

EMC business - Renfrew County is looking for the next great entrepreneur!

Applications are now available for the Summer Company Program, a youth entrepreneurship initiative that provides young people with the opportunity to create their own summer job.

The Summer Company Program is funded by the government of Ontario and is available to students between the ages of 15 and 29 and provides them with up to $1500 to establish their own business.

Additionally, upon successful completion of the program, they can receive another award of up to $1500.

The program is administered by Enterprise Renfrew County and business consultant Colleen Sadler says it offers a wonderful incentive to young people who are interested in being entrepreneurial.

“We know that small business makes up the greatest percentage of new jobs that are being created in Renfrew County and the Summer Company Program helps participants gain real life work experience in business that is meaningful for youth that have entrepreneurial aspirations,” she said.

“It gives them their first exposure to running a business and we have had many success stories in recent years as program participants have gone on to post-secondary education with the intention of eventually starting their own business, or have grown their summer company business into a full time career,” added Sadler.

By participating in the program, participants will receive business training, mentoring and assistance from local community leaders that will

support them in the day to day operation of their enterprise.

Sadler calls it, “grassroots job creation, as these young minds are being nurtured and encouraged to pursue their dreams of establishing their own business.”

The program has been available in Renfrew County for the past 13 years, and helped seven students last year with starting up a business.

Applications to the Summer Company Program are due by May 17.

Summer Company is a highly competitive program and there are limited spaces available.

More information on past projects that have been funded through the program is available at www.enterpriserenfrewcounty.com and more information on the program can be found at www.ontario. ca/summercompany.

While learning about dementia and Alzheimer’s, a group was developed to make fidget blankets. Once a month some of the Burnstown Women’s Institute members get together to make a blanket for people suffering. This blanket is made from different textured fabrics and other items are sewn on to ‘fidget’ with, not to mention made with a lot of love. Patients from Bonnechere Manor and Ottawa Civic Hospital benefited from these blankets with rave reviews from the families and staff and even as far as helping a local student. The Burnstown Women’s Institute would like to give a whole hearted “thank you” to Stardust Upholstery in Renfrew for their help, kindness, and generosity in donating remnants to the program. Holding the blanket, from left, are Helen Gunn, Ruth McHugh, Cecile Lamoureux, Signe Kubiseski, Bev MacLean, Jean Henderson, Ruth Thomas and Julia Winn.

Children’s park named after Fitzroy’s Bert Reitsma Patricia Leboeuf pleboeuf@metroland.com

EMC news - It takes a beloved and dedicated type of man to see his decades of volunteering commended by the dedication of a parkette in his honour.

Bert Reitsma is that type of man.

Friends, family and Ottawa officials gathered on Friday at the Fitzroy Harbour community center to unveil the parkette’s official commemoration plaque.

Many of the attendees couldn’t help but produce touching speeches, recalling Reitsma years of involvement with the community.

“I never expected this, never,” said Reitsma of the honour.

As far as he is concerned this plaque is not for him, but rather for all the volunteers that he has worked with over the years for betterment of Fitzroy Harbour and West Carleton.

“It’s a community effort,” he said. “It’s for them.”

He is humbled by the attention and choked up during his speech. He wanted to underline all the help and support he has gotten from the community over the years.

The process to get the parkette named after Reitsma was a long one.

The Reitsmas first received a phone call from the city, informing them that he was nominated by the Fitzroy Harbour Community Association (FHCA), but waited more than a year before the plaque was unveiled.

“For all his volunteerism and awards, it seemed like the right thing to do,” said FHCA president Karen Taylor. “He is very deserving

PATRICIA LEBOEUF/METROLAND

The love Bert Reitsma has shown for his community over the years is reflected in a parkette bearing his name. Reitsma’s friends and family were in attendance for the plaque unveiling. He poses with grandchildren Johnny, back from left, and Bandon Skorupinski; and Ella Queshi, front from left, and Dylan and Charlotte Reitsma. of it.”

She has known him for most of her life.

“He is very kind, generous,” she added. “He is just a really, really nice man.”

Naming a children’s playground after him was apropos as he has dedicated so much of his life to helping children, said Ward 5 West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry.

His grandchildren Johnny and Brandon Skorupinski, Ella Qureshi and Dylan and Charlotte Reitsma have always been a shinning

point of pride for him as well as a inspiration to help other young people.

“He’s always been focused on kids and kids’ wellbeing and recreation for kids,” El-Chantiry said.

Though the entire community acclaims his achievements, there are few people as proud of Reitsma as his wife Pat. She glowed as she surveyed a room filled with her husband’s friends and family.

“He’s always been hard working and I’m

used to that,” she said. “I’m just really glad he could have this honour and have all his family and friends here.”

For over 62 years, he worked very hard to improve the community and continues to do so. Even the community centre where the event was held has his figurative fingerprints imbedded in its foundation.

He has demonstrated dedication to the community and a strong sense of leadership even as a teenager when he was a junior president with the association.

He has a five-time presidency and three-time vice-presidency of the FHCA as well as the councillorship of the former Township of West Carleton under his belt.

He has also devoted thousands of hours to working with recreational sports leagues, Scouts Canada and volunteering at various organizations. He has also been the recipient of many awards.

“He’s on more boards than I can mention,” said Taylor. “He’s on every council and community from here to Timbuktu.”

Selflessness runs in the family.

All of the Reitsma clan has been involved in the West Carleton community since emigrating from the Netherlands in 1950. With his brothers and father, he volunteered with the Township Volunteer Fire Department.

“They are just a family that services the community,” said Pat. He spent most of his life in Fitzroy Harbour before moving to Arnprior last year.

The parkette is located at 100 Clifford Campbell St. in Fitzroy Harbour.

The Month of March is Nutrition Month Every year in March, dietitians across the country remind us of the importance of healthy eating and the positive impact nutrition has on our health and well-being. Nutrition Month 2013 is dedicated to helping Canadians put their best food forward when grocery shopping for healthy food.

PLAN A little planning can go a long way. Having a strategy before you head to the grocery store can save you time and help you navigate the aisles quickly. Use some of the tips below to help you plan out your next trip to the supermarket. Check store flyers: They can inspire meal ideas and help you save money. Plan ahead: Make a meal plan that outlines healthy meals and snacks for the week. Think of your slow cooker: Planning meals that are easy to make is key. Slow cooker meals are super-simple to make. Make a grocery list: Check what foods you already have, and then create a grocery list based on your meal plan. Eat before you shop: If you are hungry, you may be more likely to buy things you don’t need.

SHOP Now that you have your plan, it is important to stick to it while you shop! Take a look at some of the practical tips below to help you stay on track while shopping. Fill up your pantry: Buy nutrient-rich basic ingredients like low-sodium canned tomatoes, salmon & legumes, whole grains & dried food to prepare quick and healthy meals. Load your fridge: To start off meals in the right direction, keep fresh and simple foods in your fridge like lower-fat milk product, fruits & vegetables, eggs, bean dips and nut butters. Pack your freezer: For healthy meals in a flash, pack your freezer with nutrient-rich foods like meat & poultry, fish and frozen fruits & vegetables. Frozen is just as nutritious as fresh! Use a calculator: As you shop, add up the grocery bill to help yourself stay within budget. Buy less processed foods: 75% of the sodium in our diets comes from processed foods. Cook meals from scratch to help reduce your sodium intake and your grocery bill.

COOK Healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated, especially when your kitchen is filled with healthy and nutritious ingredients. Healthful convenience foods, such as frozen fruit, ready-to-go salads and pre-chopped vegetables, offer simple shortcut. Find more useful tips below on how to prepare delicious and nourishing meals.

Cook’n’share: Prepare big batches of food on the weekend and swap meals with a friend. Make a large batch of a healthy, easy-to-share meal, such as vegetable lasagna, heart chili or lentil soup. Go homemade: Cooking simple meals is an easy way to save money on your bill and stay healthy. Make easy recipes like home-style pizza, a roasted chicken or delicious soups. Leave the salt shaker in the cupboard: Too much sodium is harmful for your health. Use fresh garlic, flavoured vinegars, herbs or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to add flavour to food without the salt. Devine desserts can be simple to make: Slightly thawed frozen raspberries on top of Greek-style vanilla yogurt make for a delectable dessert or snack.

Choose your snacks wisely: Nibble on foods that fuel you with long-lasting energy. When a craving hits, lower-fat Greek-style yogurts, fruits & vegetables, unsalted nuts & seeds or hummus can make for an excellent snack choice.

Helping consumers to make better choices and put healthier food in their grocery cart is an important step in having healthy food available at home. For more information about Nutrition Month 2013 – Best Food Forward: Plan Shop Cook Enjoy! – visit www.dietitians.ca/nutritionmonth.

ADHS and St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students travel to Guatemala Sydney Ross Co-op Student

EMC lifestyle - The River of Life Christian Fellowship recently ventured to Guatemala for a youth missions trip.

Bev Moorhead, youth leader, and Jonathon Carlson, leader, organized the trip for those in the Fellowship who wanted to attend as well.

Members Taylor Dubeau, Chantal Grenon, Sarina Lalonde, Tanner Robitaille, and Robitailleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Cheri, all travelled to Guatemala with Moorhead and Carlson on March 2.

Upon arrival, the team had a mission. Together, they built 16 wood stoves for families that desperately needed them - although these families may

have already had stoves, the smoke from the stoves would circulate through their homes with no proper ventilation to let the smoke leave. This causes many health problems and eventually death. The team built properly installed stoves to hopefully improve the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health for the future.

The team also worked at childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feeding centres. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got to play with the kids and then bring them in after washing their hands and feed them a full meal, and give them a place to hang out for a bit,â&#x20AC;? said Tanner Robitaille.

Many of the children come from rough backgrounds.

Their own parents would not provide for them nor care for their needs. The team provided the children at the feeding

centres with the love and care they do not receive at home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also took the kids on a volcano hike, and we took them to the zoo and during this time, we were given money and food to make their days awesome,â&#x20AC;? said Robitaille.

The team got to experience and help the locals first-hand, gathering memories together and spending two weeks as a team.

The River of Christian Fellowship youth mission group returned home on March 15, with loads of stories, many memories, and new feeling of hope. â&#x20AC;&#x153;God really showed up on the trip for our team and the children, he was definitely present during the whole thing!â&#x20AC;? said Robitaille.

Toffee-on-snow a tasty treat for a young Mary EMC lifestyle - Finding clean snow in the yard at the farm was almost impossible. This caused a great concern for Mother.

We five children, this time of year, begged for toffee-on-snow, as the sap poured from the trees. And that meant hauling in a roaster of spotlessly clean snow.

As well as the boiling-down in the big flat pan in the bush, Mother would boil big pots of sap in the kitchen filling the house with sweet heavy steam.

Each night we children begged for toffee-on-snow, but often Mother would say it was a Saturday night treat, and we went to bed out of sorts that we have been deprived of one of our favourite treats this time of year.

And each night that we were allowed this indulgence, Everett, or Audrey, being the two oldest in the family, would be sent out for a roast pan of snow. Mother kept sending them farther and farther afield for clean snow.

Father said she would soon have us going across the river to Admaston, which of course, was an exaggeration.

But Mother was fastidious about anything that came within a country mile of our mouths, and using a roast pan of snow where the livestock had trod was out of the question. So either Everett or Audrey was given the task of finding clean snow for the toffee. Emerson couldn’t be trusted to go beyond the barn yard!

That night it was dark as pitch outside. It had been a heavy snow for late March. Mother said we would be staying home... no church party had been planned, and no one had offered their home for a game of cards, and so we had a rare Saturday night at home, and without a house full of neighbours. A perfect

night for toffee-on-snow.

Audrey would carry the lantern and Everett the roast pan and the big soup ladle, ready to bring in the freshly fallen snow.

Mother had put a small pot of already boiled syrup on the front lid of the Findlay Oval, and it was fair jumping by the time the clean snow was brought into the house. Just perfect to pour out on the snow for a feed of sticky toffee!

Although Mother always trusted Audrey or Everett to go well away from the barn yard, that night she took a big spoon and dragged it through the roaster of snow, just to be on the safe side. Well, what happened next was something like you would see in a picture show in Renfrew.

There buried in the pan of snow was something that proved they hadn’t gone far enough! Mother stared at the black lump, which wasn’t big enough to fill a teaspoon, but big enough to send her into a fit! Father, used to Mother’s obsession with cleanliness, never took his eyes off the Family Herald and Weekly Star that he was reading by the oven door.

She demanded to know where the snow came from, and both Audrey and Everett vowed it came from the farthest reaches of

the yard where no livestock ever went. Well, that didn’t satisfy Mother. Even though she had no idea what the black lump was, she knew it had spoiled the entire roaster of snow! Audrey said she would get rid of it, and that the rest of the roaster was perfectly clean. Well, she might as well have told Mother the lump was just a raisin. Mother was having no part of her story!

“Dump it out, Audrey. Goodness knows what else is in the roaster. There’ll be no toffee tonight.” Well, did that cause an uproar!

Emerson accused Everett and Audrey of getting the snow from behind the cow byre where we dumped the manure, Everett took a handful of the snow out of the roaster and flung it at Emerson, who paid him back by throwing his gum rubber at him, hitting him square in the face, and Audrey was ready to stomp off upstairs.

Mother ordered her back to the table and she was told to scrub the roaster with hot water and lye soap, even though the teeny bit of black came no where near touching the pan! The commotion in the kitchen was like something you’d see in a movie.

Father got off the rocking chair, folded the Family Herald and Weekly Star, tapped his pipe into the stove, and he could be heard muttering about the crazy family he was living with – “A man can’t even read the paper in peace.”

While he was heading for the bedroom off the kitchen, he added, “Hauling snow in the house, throwing it around like it was nothing. Washing a perfectly clean pan, I tell you the whole house is going straight to hell in a basket,” which was a saying Father hauled out every time something came up that riled him.

And that night he was as riled as I had seen him in a long time.

Arnprior area crime roundup Fines unpaid – no licence plates BREAK AND ENTER

A construction site in Arnprior was entered and a large quantity of lumber stolen. The thief cut a chain link fence on Baskin Drive sometime between March 14 and 18. Once inside a truck of some type was loaded with approximately. $30,000 worth of lumber. Some physical evidence was seized and Provincial Constable Colleen McGrath is investigating.

assaulted on March 8 in Renfrew. After completing the investigation police arrested and charged a 17-year-old male with one count of sexual assault. He cannot be named under provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. He was released from custody on a promise to appear in Youth court in Renfrew on May 13.

Provincial Constable Hayley Chaplin investigated.

EMC events – The Ontario government is taking action to help municipalities collect unpaid traffic fines from drivers who do not follow the rules of the road.

Legislation to be introduced this week would, if passed, deny licence plates to drivers who have unpaid fines for offences such as speeding, improper lane changes, illegal turns, driving with no insurance and careless driving.

The legislation would also make it easier for municipalities to charge out-of-province drivers who run red lights and fail to stop for school buses.

Unpaid fines related to the Highway Traffic Act and Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act account for about 70 per cent of the total amount of unpaid fines owed to municipalities. Fines owed to municipalities are increasing by an average of about $100 million a year.

BREACH OF PROBATION

Sometime between 2 and 6 p.m. someone attempted to gain entry to a home on Harriet Street in Arnprior. Items were moved on the porch and a screen was removed from a screen door. No entry was gained and nothing was stolen. Provincial Constable Denys Baranovskiy investigated.

On Tuesday, March 19 OPP officers received information that a male was at a residence in Arnprior, which was a contravention of his probation conditions. Officers attended the address and the male was located and arrested.

COUNTERFEIT MONEY WARNING

A home on Ottawa St in Arnprior was entered while the homeowner was away on vacation. Sometime between March 10 and 16 a thief forced open a rear window and entered the home. A gold ring was stolen, along with a large quantity of Xbox games, DVDʼs and Nintendo DS games were stolen. The thief then exited the home through the garage. Provincial Constable Craig Macisaac is investigating.

SEXUAL ASSAULT

The Renfrew OPP are warning business owners and consumers to carefully examine all currency as it changes hands as three investigations last week led to suspected counterfeit money being seized. One five dollar bill and two one hundred dollar bills have been forwarded to the RCMP for further investigation, but they are believed to be counterfeit.

Further information on security features to check for on currency is available at your local bank, or by going to www.bankofcanada.ca

AMRA Tween A U14 team makes history Silver at provincials, gold at league championships Jeff Barrie

EMC sports - The AMRA Tween A U14 ringette team reached the pinnacle of their ringette season by advancing to and winning a silver medal at the Provincial Ringette Championships held in Nepean March 14-17.

This is the first time an Arnprior ringette team has advanced to the provincial championships.

The girls qualified by earning a record of 13-4-2 at four tournaments across the province placing them fifth in all of Ontario. This set the stage for the team to play in the “JACKS A” division for the top seven teams at the provincial championship.

The theme for the 2013 Provincial A Championship was ‘Going for the gold.’

The girls participated in the opening ceremonies along with 58 other teams from eight divisions and paraded in the hall together with pride, wearing their awesome outfits, dressed up as leprechauns (since it was St. Paddy’s day weekend), going for gold was truly on their minds.

The Devils got off to a great start with three straight wins, 4-3 over West Ottawa, 3-1 over Ottawa and a 6-4 victory over Clarence-Rockland.

The team then took a 4-1 loss against Forest the number two ranked team

in the province.

The girls took the second loss they suffered in the past 21 games to heart and dug deep for the next battle and handed the number 1 ranked team from Mitchell their first tournament loss of the year with a 9-6 pounding. The girls finished up round robin play in first place with a 4-1 win over fourth ranked Richmond Hill.

This set the stage for hard fought semi final game against the number three ranked West Ottawa team with the Arnprior girls prevailing 2-1 to advance to the championship game.

Game 8, provincial championship game Arnprior vs. Forest, play by play: The battle is on! Arnprior girls are pushing and so are the Forest girls. The first period went by both sides of fans going crazy as it is tied 0-0. Second period starts these girls are trying to find all the energy they could as they are so exhausted playing hard up until now...two minutes went by and Arnprior scores - 1-0 for Arnprior.

The girls are doing everything they could. Arnprior goalie Bobby Jo Cavanagh played outstanding, making save after save keeping her team in the game. Four more minutes go by and Forest scores. We are now tied 11. Five minutes left in the game, Forest scores again. With Forest winning

2-1, Arnprior fights back with everything they got. With two minutes left on the clock, it is now tied 2-2. The fans are going crazy, Arnprior pressing Forest heavily before the period ended... going into overtime. Both teams take a breather to prepare!

The overtime clock is set for another 15 minutes. The ref blows the whistle and game on. After several minutes of back and forth rushes and scoring chances on both sides, For-

est pressing hard, scores to end the game. Arnprior wins silver at the Ontario provincials!

LEAGUE CHAMPS

The Arnprior squad followed up on their silver medal performance at provincials by capturing gold at the National Capital Regional Ringette League championships held in Arnprior on March 24 with a 3-1 win

EMC sports – The rivalry between the Arnprior Packers and the Smiths Falls Bears will come to a head in the final no-hold barred Lanark Carleton Minor Hockey League championship game on March 29 at the Nick Smith Centre.

As the championship playoffs unfolded last weekend, spectators were offered tight, fast paced, nail biter games.

Both teams played hard, but on Friday, with just three or so minutes left on the clock, the Bears managed to overtake the Packers with a score of 5-2.

On Sunday, the Packers made their way down to Smiths Falls and tied the game 2-2.

Their final game on Friday is sure to offer thrills for any hockey enthusiast.

The year may have started off slow, but it picked up in speed until the boys ended up second in the playoffs.

The team is a true Cinderella story, said team manager and trainer Doug Heeney.

“We have a very diverse group of kids,” said Heeney.

“Half our team is carryover and half our team is new.

Some of them are big, some of them are small. They play at different skill levels but they finally learned to play together and they’ve been doing great in the playoffs.”

He credits the team’s two new coaches as one of the elements that have helped propel them to victory.

“They played for us for four years and they are 22-yearsold, too old to play,” said Heeney. “Normally in this league, we can carry four 21-yearolds, but they wanted to be involved with the team once they finished.”

“A lot of other teams have said that they deserve to win coach of the year, they are doing a great job,” he added.

He offered his services as

team manager and watched as his coaches blossom into incredible leaders.

“It was kind of nerve racking at the start to get the guys to listen and calm down,” said Coach Tyler Craig. “As the season went on, we progressed as a team and they really came together. Now we are playing at the finals of our juvenile league.”

As a whole, the team has matured as athletes.

“It’s a skills game, skating, puck handling, stick handling,” said Heeney. “All those things are the basics of hockey and they have to do that at an extremely high level. These kids are extremely fast, faster than your neck will rotate.”

The past year has also been injury free, said Heeney.

The players also managed to gather and raise enough money for the purchase of new green, white and yellow uniforms with the help of local businesses.

Travis Reid (Kingston) crashed on his first run but laid down a solid second run.

Friday’s race was a Panel Slalom. Sammy Duff podiumed in this race, edging into 5th place. Alex Duff recovered from crashes to finish 40th overall with Travis Reid hot on his heels in 41st. Connor Maclean raced to 67th and Liam Maclean to 70th. The top

Calabogie girl on this day was Jenna Wissing in 58th. Alex Kerr, Emma Schreider, and Jessica Earle stuck together with a 65th - 66th - 67th finish! Lauren Campbell-Brunke had a 51st place time in her first run but couldn’t capitalize on the second.

Provincials concluded with a full-gate slalom race on Saturday. The race course was challenging, steep, and incredibly icy. Jenna, Alexandra, Jessica and Emma all laid down two solid runs. Lauren Campbell-Brunke skied to the max but unfortunately DSQed on both runs. Sammy Duff moved up into 3rd place while Alex Duff put together two awesome runs to land in 8th place. Travis, Connor, and Liam were all DSQed, along with half of the field.

The U14s then capped off their season with a fun dual slalom at Calabogie Peaks.

Sammy Duff eliminated all competitors to become the overall U14 champion.

Now it is time to hang up the skis for another year.

EMC lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new 4-H maple club based in the Pakenham area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There has not been a 4-H maple club in Lanark County for a number of years, so Cindy Sue Potter and I decided to try our hand at teaching our members how to make syrup,â&#x20AC;? explained Lorraine Downey, co-leader of the Pakenham 4-H maple club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helps that I have grown up making maple syrup at my familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sugarbush.â&#x20AC;?

With 24 enthusiastic members ages 9-17, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very hands-on club. Five members are from families who produce maple syrup, but the majority while having tasted maple syrup had no idea how much work was involved.

In the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first meeting, the youngsters â&#x20AC;&#x153;madeâ&#x20AC;? maple sap by measuring three teaspoons of maple and 97 of water. They then each got to taste the sweet â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sapâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Members counted rings on a maple tree (144) that came down in last summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high winds and viewed the tap holes that have grown over.

Veteran maple syrup producer, Jim Stewart of Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Maple Products, volunteered his time to teach members how to tap trees with a brace and bit as well as newer drills.

He outlined how when and how to tap trees safely to ensure the tree isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t harmed. The members produced lots of shavings that night.

The club purchased new plastic buckets and spouts and on a beautiful sunny day each tapped a tree at Fultonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pancake House and Sugar Bush.

As part of their achievement, each member must help produce maple syrup. Families are collecting sap from their buckets and then take it home to boil with their parents as sisters Kayleigh and Emily did.

Other members are boiling it down outside at Fultonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with careful supervision.

During the March break, members collected maple sap from their buckets, strained it, then spent the afternoon boiling it outside using propane burners. Starting with 12 litres of sap in their pot, they evaporated it down to two liters.

After carefully transferring the half-boiled maple sap to a small pot, they continued boiling it on the stove, monitoring it carefully until it reached 105 degrees Celsius. At this temperature maple syrup is the proper density.

The end result was 350 ml of light grade maple syrup.

The second pot of maple syrup got a little too thick and they improvised and made some deli-

Linedancing social promotes upcoming Camp Lau-Ren fundraiser instructor Valerie Penno.

Chatterton mentions that she had two special reasons for organizing this local event. First of all, it gives dancers in the area a chance to meet, greet and network while reviewing some of the more recent linedances such as ‘Hook-Stomp-Vine’ and ‘Fiesta-Cha-Cha,’ and at the same time revisiting some of the more traditional ones such as ‘The-Lindi-Shuffle’ and ‘Country-As-Can-Be.’ Secondly, the timing of this particular event is close to the 8th Arnprior Party-Atelier (APPA), a linedance workshop held each spring as an annual fundraiser for the Ottawa Valley’s popular Camp Lau-Ren for Children.

So, in leading up to that special event, this local-social provided a great opportunity to promote, publicize and

R0011951751_0314

Linedancers in the area had a chance to dance together Feb. 25 for a local social held at the Nick Smith Centre (in Arnprior hosted by the NSC’s Arnprior Hy-Liners, with assistance from the Mississippi Hy-Liners, who dance regularly at the Almonte Community Centre and the Stewart Community Centre in Pakenham.

These groups of linedancers meet weekly with instructor Hyacinth Chatterton, at the three community centres mentioned above. She runs daytime linedance programs for two recreation departments in the area - one class for the Town of Arnprior, and two classes for the Town of Mississippi Mills. Other guests at the Feb. 25 event included dancers from the Horton Community Centre and the Arnprior Quality Inn, along with their

also to accept registrations for this important fundraiser, which is scheduled for April 12-13.

This year’s APPA will feature Ira Weisburd, a world-renowned and award-winning choreographer. In accepting Chatterton’s invitation to participate, he scheduled his visit to Arnprior as part of his current world tour, which includes Europe and North America.

So far, participants have registered for APPA not only from Kanata, Ottawa and other Valley areas, but also from as far away as Bancroft/ Apsely, North Bay, Sudbury

and Toronto.

For the Feb. 25 event at the NSC, there were about 40 linedancers in attendance, and they danced to approximately 20 different numbers during the afternoon. All of these dances were selected ahead by participants and their instructors, and were done in various formations such as lines, circles, contras and others.

The many genres covered included country, Latin, slowjazz, soft-rock, waltzes, western-swing, etc.

A special surprise was the dance ‘Brazil’ performed by the duo of instructors Chatter-

ton and Penno. This was a treat for one of their students who had recently returned from a visit to that same SouthAmerican city, the capital of her native country.

A wide variety of delicious snacks and juices were prepared by all three Hy-Liner groups for everyone to enjoy; the final dance of the afternoon ‘Rita’s-Waltz, done to Canadian singer Anne Murray’s ‘Could-I-Have-This-Dance?’provided a perfect ending to an enjoyable afternoon of dancing and networking.

For spring 2013, Chatterton confirms that the NSC has yet

another exciting nine-week linedance programme in the works, which was scheduled to begin this week on March 25, from 1:30-3 p.m. All ages and levels are invited to participate, and the program welcomes both genders.

A detailed description of this upcoming third session will appear in the very next issue of the town’s recreational guide Arnprior Life.

For further information and registration details about the linedance programme, kindly contact either the NSC at 613623-7301, or Chatterton at 613-623-0976.

Support available for abused seniors

Former minister joins Alzheimer Society staff EMC lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A former Arnprior minister has joined the Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County as a program staff member in the Upper Ottawa Valley.

Milton Fraser will serve Renfrew County out of the Pembroke office.

The former minister at the Arnprior Presbyterian Church can be contacted through the toll-free Renfrew County phone number 1-888411-2067.

The society also has Tracey Liebig based in its Arnprior office.

Fraser has more than 20 years of experience as a minister in a congregational setting. In addition to his role as a pastor, he was the ministerial representative on the Palliative Care Sup-

port Team at Arnprior Regional Health.

Fraser has had significant experience in journeying with families as they live with dementia, and brings with him valuable experiences, knowledge and insight.

The move of the Pembroke will provide the Alzheimer Society with more space to serve families in Pembroke and the surrounding communities.

To learn more about the Alzheimer Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs in Renfrew County, contact Fraser or Liebig at info@asorc.org, or by phone.

Visit www.alzheimer.ca/ottawa for a wealth of information on dementia, resources for familie, and available Alzheimer Society programs in Ottawa and Renfrew County.

A gift from John St. Pub Brothers Jimmy Xidous, left, and Nick got together on March 12 to make a generous donation in the amount of $500 to Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors At Home Program executive director Dennis Harrington. The donation comes from proceeds of an event co-hosted by the John Street Pub in Arnprior and Steve Donovan on Feb. 8. The two hosted entertainment by the Acoustic Shooters and a photography show featuring images by Donovan.

well as caregivers in crisis. CCAC Case managers, who provide home care throughout the region, can assess and authorize admission to these crisis beds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These crisis beds provide an immediate short-term solution to seniors experiencing extremely difficult situations in our communities,â&#x20AC;? says Randy Penney, CEO, Renfrew Victoria Hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They prevent unnecessary hospital admissions, but more importantly, they provide the type of urgent care needed by the victims of elder abuse, at risk seniors and their caregivers who may be experiencing stress and burnout.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe that our individual and collective responses are strengthened by a shared understanding of the issues and a commitment to work collectively and cooperatively to meet the different needs of seniors at risk,â&#x20AC;? adds Gilles Lanteigne, CEO, Champlain CCAC. Response to the RACP Elder Abuse Response Services program has been very positive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the first three months, we saw the number of seniors we had expected to see in the first year,â&#x20AC;? notes Jennifer Valiquette, clinical nurse manager with the Regional Assault Care Program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clearly the need is there and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy to be there to provide the right care.â&#x20AC;?

Former Arnprior Presbyterian minister Rev. Milton Fraser has joined the Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County as a staff member. He will work out of the Pembroke office, while Tracey Liebig staffs the Arnprior office.

EMC news - The Renfrew Victoria Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Regional Assault Care Program (RACP), Renfrew County Mobile Crisis Team, and Community Mental Health Services have recently signed an agreement to partner with the Champlain Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) to create the Seniors Crisis Bed Program.

This project, funded by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, is a collaborative response to help seniors in Renfrew County who are experiencing abuse, and seniors who are at risk due to caregiver crisis. It is modeled on a successful program currently being delivered in the Eastern Counties.

Through the Seniors Crisis Bed Program, eligible clients can access a crisis bed in a local retirement home at no cost, for up to seven days. The program allows the senior to be in a safe environment, while considering his/her ongoing options.

The RACP has provided health services to victims of abuse since 1991 and has recently expanded their program in 2010 to include Elder Abuse Response Services.

Specially trained registered nurses, available at all five Renfrew County hospitals, provide acute care, outpatient services and in-home visits to abused and at-risk seniors as

New Quyon ferry set to launch next year pleboeuf@metroland.com

EMC news -After nearly a decade of anticipation, the new Quyon cable-run ferry will be ready for its maiden voyage in 2014.

The $2.8-million project was projected to be ready for the spring of 2013, but issues with the dock slowed down the progress.

The docks’ current design would be incapable of supporting the surplus traffic and the loading ramps are not compliant with the vessel.

Docks on both side of the Ottawa River will need to be rebuilt and won’t be ready until next year.

The project has been in the works since 2004.

“I wish I had started this at a younger age, but I never dreamt that it would take 10 years,” said McColgan.

To help with the high expense, he put off purchasing batteries and other electronic necessities until closer to the launch.

The new 215-ton ferry is currently being worked by a crew just metres away from where it will call home.

The new ferry will have a holding capacity of 21 vehicles or about 90 tons of weight.

Transport trucks, dump trucks, RVs and farm equipment will now be able to make the trek.

“If it can go on the highway, we’ll be able to cross it,” said McColgan.

The previous ferries could only transport seven or so vehicles and had a very limited truck capacity. Clients also faced some maneuverability difficulties.

“The current two vessels that we have you have to back into your spot,” said McColgan.

“A lot of seniors find it tough to look over their shoulders to back up.”

He contacted Shawville-based Magnalum (1998) Inc. director Sylvio Richard to take up the challenge of building the behemoth.

“We’ve done lots of boats, a lot of barges and stuff for various companies, but not quite that size,” said Richard. “It doesn’t really make that much of a difference. It’s the same concept but bigger.”

Inspections are routinely conducted on the vessel to ensure it is well built and safe.

“It’s not like a toy,” Richard “It’s not that anybody can do it. You have to have qualifications.

“You have to have a lot of patience and really, really good welders because they do x-rays and stuff,” he added.

Once it is completed, it will be considered the largest cable ferry in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec.

Once completed in 2014, the ferry will be largest cable ferry in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec. The cable itself will weigh six tons.

Construction on the Quyon ferry will take another year or so. This will become a cabin.

The 215-ton vessel is being worked on next to the Ottawa River. It is 120 ft. long and 30 ft. wide and composed of several separate pieces.

The two old diesel ferries will be used again this summer.

Travellers urged to keep vaccinations up to date EMC lifestyle – Ontario’s Associate Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Robin Williams, is advising Ontarians to be sure that their and their family’s vaccinations are up to date.

This is even more important when families are travelling, he says.

The reminder is prompted by a notice from the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) who confirmed a measles case in Ontario that was linked to recent travel to a resort in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

“Although measles has become an un-

common disease in Ontario, it is highly contagious and can be very serious,” warns Williams. “The best protection is to keep your immunizations up to date.”

Measles symptoms include rash, high fever, cough, runny nose and watery eyes.

If you suspect that you have, or a member of your family has, measles, contact a health care provider immediately.

Make sure to call ahead and let the health care provider know you are coming and that you suspect measles. This will allow them to take precautions in their of-

fice or clinic.

On average, it takes about 10 days for symptoms to start after exposure to the measles virus. However, that period can range from seven to 18 days.

Measles can lead to complications including middle ear infection, pneumonia, inflammation of the brain, hearing loss, brain damage, and in severe cases, death.

Ontario offers 14 different vaccines through its publicly-funded immunization program, protecting against 17 preventable diseases.
