Waiting game for OMB decision starts scottcampbell@metroland.com
The Ontario Municipal Board hearing into Miller Paving’s Braeside Quarry expansion wrapped with its final summaries last week after four weeks of testimony and cross-examination. The battle that has gone on for nine years in McNab-Braeside finally has some sort of end on the horizon. However, an official decision from the board will likely not be finalized for several months. Marc Denhez, who chaired the hearings, apparently only has a limited amount of
time every month to work on his decision. The last week included testimony from several residents and Dr. Henry Cole, brought in as an air emissions expert by those opposed to locating an asphalt plant in the quarry. He suggested that some of air emissions studies presented were flawed and incomplete. Leanne Krieger told of how the temporary asphalt plant affected her when she was very sick and Bill MacMeechan, who has worked for Miller’s and its predecessor Smith’s, expressed a similar statement of adverse effects from the temporary plant.

‘Troubling’ hydro salaries ‘unfair’ to consumers: Yakabuski Staff
Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP and the PC’s provincial Energy Critic John Yakabuski expressed frustration last week with the “unfairness� caused by most energy customers making so much less than many hydro workers. On one hand, average Ontario ratepayers are paying ever increasing hydro rates while on the other hand they are funding the excessive salaries found on the government payroll in the energy sector, he said in a news release. The figures revealed by the Sunshine list of public service employees making at least $100,000 a year are striking, Yakabuski said. Runaway remuneration for staff in the en-
ergy sector is one of the driving reasons for escalating hydro bills, he charged. In 2014, Hydro One had 4,349 employees making over $100,000, meaning about 77 per cent of all employees are on the sunshine list. The figures for Ontario Power Generation are likewise troubling, he said. OPG had 7,668 employees making over $100,000 in 2014, resulting in roughly 80 per cent of their full-time employees being on the Sunshine list. The salary for Tom Mitchell, CEO of OPG, was $1.55 million; the pay for Bruce Campbell, CEO of the Independent Electricity System Operator, was $695,000. “My office receives a constant stream of emails, phone calls, and letters from people all
across this province desperate to find the money to pay their skyrocketing hydro bills� said Yakabuski. “These ratepayers are the ones who pay for our electricity system - including the salaries of those on the government payroll. They cannot afford to pay ever increasing hydro bills to
cover-off the rapidly increasing salaries within these organizations. “The only way that ratepayers are going to get relief is if the Energy Minister strikes a balance between increases in salary for public servants and Ontarians’ ability to pay for it� he concluded.
Correction: Bin collection contract $28,646 for five years The article ‘New company wins contract’ in last week’s Arnprior ChronicleGuide mistakenly said that the amount of the contract to empty garbage bins at the
Nick Smith Centre, Robert Simpson Park and the water pollution control centre is for $28,646 per year. In fact, the amount is $28,646 total over the five years of the contract.
The town also points out the winning bidder, Arklan Environmental is based in Ashton, near Carleton Place. The Chronicle-Guide apologizes for the error.

Town gets infrastructure money to start downtown revitalization Staff
The Town of Arnprior has received almost half a million dollars in provincial money to fund the full reconstruction of McGonigal Street. The project will help kick-start the town’s downtown revitalization initiative.
In a news release Monday, town officials said they are very pleased to announce, that after a very lengthy and highly competitive process, Arnprior has been successful at receiving $495,000 in grant funding from the Ontario government through the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF) application based funding. The grant will be used to fund 90 per cent of phase one

(between Daniel and John streets) of the McGonigal Street reconstruction. “McGonigal Street is the first phase in the Downtown Revitalization Project, which is a key priority of the Town’s Strategic Plan,” said Mayor David Reid. “Receiving this funding to assist with this project allows the Town to move forward with the revitalization without having to draw down as much on the Town’s pay-as-you-go reserves which have been steadily increasing over the past three budgets. This savings will be very beneficial for other upcoming Town infrastructure improvements.” “This is the second major grant award we have received in less than two years, which speaks well of the calibre of Arnprior’s submissions,” said town CAO Michael Wildman. “This successful grant is a testa-
ment to the team effort that went into preparing the multiple stages of grant applications needed to cross the finish line. “Staff from public works, finance and administration have done a tremendous job working as a team to advance this project through to a successful conclusion.” The process for receiving the application-based funding followed a competitive multi-staged process and it is considered by town officials to be a significant accomplishment council and staff who have successfully sought out and earned the funding. The OCIF is available to communities with populations under 100,000. It is a $100-million-per-year fund that supports the revitalization and repair of roads, bridges and other critical infrastructure in small, rural and northern communities.
Council makes proclamations for lights off, autism and cancer Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
The regular meeting on March 23 of Arnprior council may have been a record-setting evening. The majority of business was finished within 25 minutes, while a closed-session added to the time. The big focus of the meeting centered on proclamations. Council supported Earth Hour on March 28, encouraging residents to turn off their lights between 8:30 and 9:30 p.m. to conserve energy. The event started in Sydney, Australia in 2007. Since then more than 162 countries and territories worldwide have taken part. “… turn out the lights and reduce energy usage significantly for that one hour. This will demonstrate how easy it is to make changes in our everyday behaviour in order to raise awareness and impact the effects of
climate change,” said Mayor David Reid in a release. AUTISM AWARENESS
Council also proclaimed April 2 as be World Autism Awareness Day in Arnprior (McNab-Braeside council has done the same in the township). Autism Spectrum Disorder is said to affect more than 100,000 people in Ontario from children to adults. The disorder manifests itself differently in every individual. DAFFODILL SALES
The council agreed to raise the Autism Ontario flag and light up town hall in blue April 2. The last proclamation was for all of April as Daffodil Month. The Canadian Cancer Society is holding its annual sale of daffodil pins and will conduct a doorto-door fundraising campaign.
Braeside teen arrested after police chase The driver of the vehicle that allegedly tried to evade police on the weekend near Killaloe has been identified as a 19-year-old Braeside area resident. OPP report the teenager has been charged with dangerous driving causing bodily harm, possession of marijuana, fleeing police, failing to stop for police and speeding. Police say there were three people in the vehicle when police near Killaloe tried to do a traffic stop.
The driver allegedly sped off and police eventually called off the chase. The vehicle was involved in a crash a short time later on Highway 60 at 41, just west of Eganville. Two people were injured. The Braeside teen appeared in Pembroke court for a bail hearing on March 30. The Special Investigations Unit is investigating the incident, as it does when police have involvement in a serious accident.
Residents voice concerns at evening OMB hearing Four-week long hearing into Miller’s Braeside Quarry expansion plans features night session at McNab school Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
There was a change of pace March 24 for the Braeside Quarry Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing with its first evening session at McNab Public school. Residents were allowed to take their turn in the spotlight. More than 45 people were in the audience, while more chairs had to be set up than originally planned. Marc Denhez, who is chairing the (OMB) hearing, made it clear to those unfamiliar with the proceedings and had not made it out to the day sessions that business was to be conducted in a formal fashion. “This is not a town hall meeting,� he said. “It will be more like a trial. Those coming for-
ward will not be speakers, but witnesses. They will be sworn-in as witnesses and they may even get cross-examined. This is a fact-finding expedition.� There were lawyers for the Township, FACT MB and Miller Paving taking in the proceedings and conducting the cross-examination, if they felt inclined to do. Representing residents group FACT-MB were lawyers from the Canadian Environmental Law Association - Rick Lindgren, Ramani Nadarajah and Erica Stahl. The people who felt compelled to speak had to register and fill out a ‘Participant Statement’ and give their background, experience, interest and give a list of issues and outline of evidence so it could be submitted to the board. Randy White, Neil Masson, Shannon Cassidy-Rouleau, Regina Rolph and about six oth-
ers were sworn-in and each spoke in passionate tones. Some of the participants spoke at length and a few only briefly but common threads ran through all their testimony. They talked about the zone of influence, which is the area where there could be an expectation of adverse effects, for people’s health and enjoyment of their property. QUESTION OF BALANCE
Other topics addressed were property values, water issues, traffic control, quality of life and stress, smells, contamination, and noise – a few described the blasting, sounds like a jet engines and the constant trucks on the roads. A lot of the cross-examinations were done by Miller’s lawyer, John Ewert.
Masson, a former police officer, worked out numbers that indicated that potentially Miller’s trucks could be making 122 trips a day, where Miller’s says it will only be 103. Masson believed the quarry should also be closed to trucks from 5 p.m. to 7 a.m. Otherwise would people be able to sleep at night? he asked. Cassidy-Rouleau has alpacas on her property, and the animals need a good environment to thrive. She believes Miller and the Township have to find a balance. “It’s about meeting the needs of the community and respecting the residents and the environment.� Rolph questioned how anything industrial could be constructed on fractured limestone and have a positive outcome on the surrounding area.
Permanent asphalt main dividing point between Miller’s, residents Continued from front
the two sides is the permanent asphalt plant. “Would we have had people come out of the woodwork, when Miller says they investigated an issue and have no problem, just as soon as a complaint comes in?� questioned Denhez, to which Ewert responded that Miller wasn’t looking to have a problem. AGGREGATE NEEDED
Lindgren also mentioned with the rate of production and the license lasting until the next century, it would be completely unprecedented to allow Miller to have complete carte blanche for such a length of time. Simek and Kerr made points for the rights of landowners to use their property, not to have it taken for Miller’s to use as a buffer. Janet Bradley spoke for the township at considerable length, calling to
attention the fact that whoever had written a specific bylaw, the one that a quarry couldn’t be operated closer than 300 metres from a house, really benefitted no one but Miller. Ewert had the final say and he rebutted most of the remarks, but left Lindgren’s testimony alone. Denhez complimented the people who sat in front for the month, saying that he had not heard a case argued as capably.

A Caregiver’s Story Before being introduced to The Grove Nursing Home daytime program, 68 year old Ben* had nowhere to turn. His wife, Diane, had been battling Parkinson’s disease for over 20 years and had recently developed Dementia. As her mind and body continued to deteriorate, her condition completely consumed both of their lives. Taking care of Diane became a full time job. Ben found that he was so focused on his wife that he wasn’t able to take care of the other needs in his life. Work began to pile up and he found that his mood had worsened and his temper was getting shorter and shorter. He knew that it was time to reach out for help. Diane now attends The Grove daytime program three days a week. From 10 until 3, she is able to make friends and utilize her social skills while taking part in a suite of fun and interactive activities. Ben has really noticed a change in his wife as he has begun to see her bubbly personality again. Ben has also been able to reap the benefits of this experience. With five extra hours in the day, he is able to accomplish so

He is able to do things for himself that he hasn’t been able to do in years. With this break in the day, Ben is now able to enjoy the time that he does get with his wife. The experience has drastically improved their relationship. Ben says that without the help of the supportive staff and volunteers at the Grove, he wouldn’t be able to function and that he wouldn’t be able to go on. This program allows the couple to continue living together in their home, and that is the greatest gift that they could ask for. R0013068117

The quarry is an important area to work because of the mineral aggregate there, he said. Miller’s also has the pertinent planning documents signed off by the ministries of environment and natural resources. Rick Lindgren, on behalf of the
residents’ group FACT-MB, focused on the permanent asphalt plant in the bulk of his summary. He told how Miller’s made the unusual move of switching the location of the plant about two weeks into the hearing. The move changes everything from the base and elevation and area, while making the proposal supposedly safer in general, but leaves too many technical questions at play because of the vagueness of the plan, he said. He raised issues pertaining to effects on the environment, health or how one even defines ‘state-of-theart’. Simply put, any compromise on the asphalt plant is unacceptable. There should be no plant, he maintained.

Bill Kasper, a Miller vice-president, talked about the nature of hot mix asphalt plants. He stressed that a permanent plant would be state-of-the-art, operating more efficiently and less intrusive than the temporary plant. Under cross examination is was suggested that even with having 31 plants in Ontario, Miller’s has not done stack testing for emissions data; a temporary plant can be installed and just be labelled as a permanent one; and a cherry smell can be added to mask the odour. David Simek and John Kerr, Golf Club Road residents, have been sitting with the residents’ lawyers throughout the month-long hearing. Simek testified that his parents bought their land along the road back in the ‘70s, long before the quarry purchased land closest to them. Their argument is the quarry has invaded on residential land, not the other way around. Planner Stuart David took the stand to say that putting an asphalt plant in a residential area is just unwise planning. John Ewert, the representative for Miller’s, was the first to kick-off his final summary on Friday, March 27. The two sides had the day off Thursday to prepare but made up for it Friday as the last day stretched well after 6 p.m. Miller’s is appealing the township’s council rejection of a permanent asphalt plant in the quarry and is against any decreasing of the proposed extra extraction area. Ewert focused on the boundary – which includes the alvar area and why Miller should have it all licenced. The largest sticking point between

Municipalities wait on Energy East answers Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com
Fear natural gas companies have over possible price hikes if a controversial pipeline is approved has local and provincial politicians speaking out. Public discourse over the proposed Energy East project, which would see a natural gas line converted to an oil line from Alberta to refineries on the East coast, has tapered off in recent weeks. Coun. Mark MacKenzie hasnʼt heard much since the issue was brought up during the McNab-Braeside election debate. A group was formed specifically to oppose the project that would see oil pass under the Madawaska River and other Ottawa Valley rivers. But in most respects the issue has subsided. Questions raised by Arnprior and McNab-Braeside councils have largely gone unanswered by TransCanada, the company behind Energy East. Even such fundamental questions such as Which lubricants to assist oil flowing through the pipe every day is the company planning to
MARK MACKENZIE use? have been met with “a variety of products.” Generalities of that sort infuriate MacKenzie, past president of the federal Green Party. “If this is going through our backyards, our province, we should know what it is,” he said. “Any spill is going to have a tremendous negative effect. Look at the Kalamazoo spill. Now, it was Enbridge and not TransCanada, but it sunk to the bottom and they canʼt clean it out. It works its way into the watershed.” A 30,000-page TransCanada report neglects to answer many of the key questions, he said. However, he speaks with some optimism in his voice
DOOR CRASHER GRASS SEED SPECIALS
when mentioning the pressure large natural gas companies are putting on upper levels of government. MacKenzie spoke to Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli, who vowed to bring up the gas companiesʼ concerns when the pipeline decision comes up this fall. The companies argue TransCanadaʼs plan to build a new gas line from southern Ontario to ship natural gas from the U.S. will mean less reliance on Canadian resources. “The message is that Energy East will reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Now, I donʼt believe that will be the case. That oil is going to the highest bidder,” he said. “But it will increase our dependence on foreign natural gas and their capacity. Instead of using Alberta energy, weʼll be using Pennsylvaniaʼs for sure.” Canadian customers would likely face price hikes before American ones. While local and provincial elected representatives canʼt block the project on their own, they are expected to call for the construction of an entirely new
line. One of MacKenzieʼs questions to the company, again that has yet to be answered, has to do with the 35-year-old pipeline. How long does a natural gas pipeline last, particularly when it begins to carry the much heavier oil? The township has asked for intervener status during the fall hearings. That means - as one of three municipalities where new portions of the pipeline would be constructed - they could have representatives address the decision-makers. About 1,800 expert and community stakeholders have applied to speak. During McNab-Braesideʼs April 16 town hall meeting, MacKenzie hopes residents bring up the pipeline proposal. He ranks it among the most important environmental issues facing the township, on par with the hotly debated RV park proposal at Clay Bank. “The Clay Bank group is interested in protecting the water. I say this project is equal or a greater threat,” he said. “This is 1.1 million barrels of toxic goop flowing around and underneath the Madawaska River.”

Thieves hit mini-storage, town hall The OPP are investigating another theft at an Arnprior storage facility. The Renfrew-Arnprior OPP report officers responded to a break-and-enter call at Arnprior Mini-Storage on Staye Court Drive in Arnprior on Monday, March 15. The owner advised two male suspects were observed on security cameras jumping over a fence to gain entry to the yard. Once inside they cut the locks off several storage lockers. The brea- in occurred shortly after 9 p.m. OPP Constable Tamara Dube is investigating. OPP are also investigating the theft of a laptop computer from Arnprior Town Hall between March 20 and March 23. The Hewlett-Packard Elitebook is valued at about $1,000. OPP Const. David Ladd is investigating. Items were stolen from an unlocked vehicle parked overnight on March 29 on Stacey Drive
in McNab-Braeside. Stolen items included keys, change and pre-paid store cards. Domestic Disputes
Local OPP officers responded to eight calls relating to domestic disputes last week. One man has been charged with three counts of assault, impaired driving, driving over 80 mgs, domestic mischief and driving while under suspension. Another man was charged with uttering threats, assault and domestic mischief, while a third was charged with theft under $5,000, fraud under $5,000 and domestic mischief. Police stress that healthy relationships do not include threats, harassment, assaults, disregard to court orders or violence. If you need help with a domestic situation, call 9-1-1.

EDITORIAL
Ontario finances still adrift
I
t’s not difficult to find evidence the Ontario government has lost its way. Almost every day they send out reminders, in the form of press releases, to whoever is interested of the many ways in which they’re squandering the future of the province. For example, in the spirit of disclosure and public accountability they sent out information on the annual ‘sunshine list’, detailing the members of the public sector who earn more than $100,000 per year. In 2014, the number of people on that list surpassed 100,000. That’s not an insignificant number of people. In fact, there are so many people in Ontario earning six figures on the public payroll that, at a minimum, their salaries will make up at least $10 billion of the province’s $130 billion 2014-15 fiscal plans. As most people on the sunshine list make more than $100,000, the actual portion of Ontario’s annual expenditures likely surpasses 10 per cent of the total. And that’s the disclosure part. While the
top earners in the provincial public sector count their riches, school boards and hospitals are trimming their front-line staff in an effort to keep their budgets in balance as money from the province is frozen or clawed back. The Ottawa Hospital, CHEO, Royal Ottawa and public school boards have announced in the last couple weeks that they’ll have to reduce the number of nurses and learning support staff in order to keep their books in the black. Those are the sorts of cuts that residents will notice. Yet these aren’t called job cuts, as these decisions are left to those at the local level, yet they do sound awfully similar to the sort that Kathleen Wynne denounced during her re-election campaign last year. She pledged to get Ontario’s economy back on track without tearing apart the public services residents depend on. So far, all we’ve seen is evidence of profligate spending and harmful job cuts. After more than half a decade of sour economic times, Ontario’s leadership is no closer to helping us find our way out of the woods.
LETTERS
Museum story contained misconceptions To the Editor: After reading the interesting article on Iroquois beadwork currently on display at the Arnprior and District Museum, as reported in the March 19 edition (Arnprior ChronicleGuide), I wish to bring to your attention misconceptions under Museum Happenings.
In the second paragraph it states that “While the museum was incorporated in 1964,” ... this is explained in the last paragraph. “... a memorable event, a wedding took place for the first time just recently, about three weeks ago ...” as stated, is not true. The first wedding was held about 14 years
Snowbird’s shocking hydro bill To the Editor: This is an open letter to Hydro One. There has been a lot of coverage (and controversy) in the media recently over excessive bills and/or apparent faulty meter readings, etc. regarding Hydro One billing practices. I would like to report here what appears to be
yet another very troubling take on energy usage recording by Ontario’s energy supplier. Now I know something is afoul with Hydro One billing, having just returned from being away to Florida for the entire month of February (gone from Jan. 30 to March 5). See CUSTOMER, Page 9

ago, when a couple, both postal workers asked if it could be possible to have their marriage ceremony in the museum. This wedding was a meaningful occasion for them and a “first” for the museum. Further in the article it should be noted “the plan is to make it (the third floor) into a postmaster’s apartment, because for a stretch of time the building was actually used as a post office.” To my knowledge, the third floor was the
janitor’s apartment, not the postmaster’s, and more importantly the building was actually constructed as a Post Office and Customs House designed by Thomas A. Fuller in the late 1890s. It was consistently used as a Post Office until 1963 when the new Post Office was built, a very long stretch of time indeed. Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Gillies donated monies to the town for the preservation of the post office building to be used a cultural centre. This became a Centennial project and the Library and Museum was opened to the public in 1967.

Customer expects explanation from Hydro One ) I thought surely with having turned our electric heat way down while we were gone and having turned off everything else (hot water tank, water pump and all lights off 24/7) we would see a substantial drop in our hydro consumption. Quite the contrary, the March 11 bill indicated average consumption per day over the entire month of February 2015 at 155 kWh – exactly the same as the entire month of February 2014 (155 kWh) when we were here and using all appliances , lighting, etc., plus keeping our home much warmer. I then consulted the Hydro One website to see the actual usage (actual meter readings not estimated) for the comparative billing periods (Feb. 4 to March 4) 2014 and 2015. Total consumption was indicated as 4,482.20 kWh for February 2014 and, astonishingly, an almost identical 4,492.20 kWh for the same period February 2015. Also surprisingly, the pattern of usage (peak, mid-peak and off-peak) were almost

identical. The off-peak usage was even higher for February 2015 (2,965.43 kWh) versus February 2014 (2869.49 kWh) – this is totally baffling since the majority of lighting, stove, toaster, dishwasher, hot showers, clothes washer and dryer are all used typically by us in the off-peak and none of which was used in February 2015. This is even more surprising when reliable sources report that approximately 53 per cent of energy use in average residential situations is attributable to appliances, electronics, water heating and lighting (all of which there was zero usage in February 2015) and with approximately 42 per cent from space heating. While we can acknowledge that February 2015 (-14C average) was certainly colder than February 2014 (-10C average), one would surely expect that leaving the thermostats turned considerably down 24/7 (10 to 12C with several baseboard heaters turned entirely off) would more than compensate for the generally cooler tempera-

tures observed. In any event, this off-peak non-use of appliances/lighting, etc. should not have produced an actual increase in offpeak usage especially. One could not imagine a more aggressive conservation strategy than leaving electric heat set as low as 10C 24/7 for an entire cold winter month and having absolutely no usage of lights, stereo/TVs, toaster, stove, convection oven, dishwasher, hot water (turned off entirely), water pump and clothes washer/dryer. If this can’t generate some clear and observable reductions in electricity usage (and associated charges albeit with increased rates), then something is really wrong if not downright fraudulent. I would very much appreciate a rational explanation or compensation for what appears to be clearly an “unexplainable phenomenon� or error in meter reading.

The Hawks that became Parrots - American Kestrels changed Birds captured my interest when I was five years old, which means I have enjoyed their company for more than half a century. Over those many years, I have not only come to know birds relatively well but also have observed many changes in their distribution and relative abundance. I have also witnessed changes to their names. For example, I have seen Marsh Hawk become Northern Harrier. The oddest change was when Baltimore Orioles became Northern Orioles and then once again returned to being called Baltimore Orioles. Now, it was not that those orioles had done something wrong to deserve such treatment. In early years there were two quite different looking orioles: Baltimore and Bullock’s. One was western and the other, eastern. Then the A.O.U. (American Ornithologists’ Union) examined evidence that suggested Baltimore Orioles in the east and Bullock’s Orioles in the west were the same species, one that showed a fixed geographic variation in the colours of its plumage. But when DNA analysis was applied to blood of both types of orioles, it was ascertained that the two geographic variations were indeed different species and thus warranted unique names. So back to the original designations they went. In recent days a small falcon has returned to local roadsides. American Kestrels can now be seen sitting on telephone wires along country roads. These beautiful little birds were known as
falcons is that they are predatory birds that hunt in daytime. In biology, when two different and not closely related groups of animals look alike and have similar ecological roles, it is called convergent evolution. Currently hawks and falcons are returning to our area. Look at telephone lines for kestrels and the tops of trees for hawks like Redtaileds. But if you see a small falcon, perhaps you should take a closer look. Maybe you are looking at a parrot! The Nature Number is 613-387-2503; email is mruntz@start.ca.

Committee on Classification and Nomenclature of North and Middle American Birds (the “Check-list Committee”) agreed that falcons are not hawks but are actually close relatives of parrots. So now in newer field guides you will find falcons no longer in their long held position behind hawks and eagles but situated now between woodpeckers and parrots. So what was the reason for this puzzling and confusing situation? Has DNA deceived us? Well, unless you are O.J., DNA does not lie. And when one examines parrots and falcons, remarkable similarities between these two groups become apparent. For one, their beaks are near identical; both have strongly hooked

Both also have little round scales on their legs; true hawks have very different scaling. Additionally, falcons and parrots have similarly large heads and eyes and pointed wings while those of hawks are, respectively, smaller and rounder. The main similarity shared by hawks and

McNab’s WE club ran a ‘Create Change’ campaign and with the generous support of staff, students and their families, they raised exactly $700 to support families living overseas in extreme poverty. Every $50 will provide a goat to help a family earn sustainable income, stay healthy with nutritious milk and invest in a bright future. One dairy goat can produce 16 cups of milk a day

Gallant meets with seniors upset over mail delivery changes Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant recently hosted a meeting with leaders in the Arnprior seniors’ community in an attempt to quell fears over mail delivery changes. The topic for the discussion was the upcoming changes to service Canada Post will be implementing. Many seniors groups are worried that moving away from home delivery to community boxes far from some homes will mean dangerous treks over snow and ice. Joining Gallant for the round table discussion were Debbie Hudson of the Arnprior Neighbourlink Foundation, Nellie Kingsbury of the Golden Age Activities Centre in Renfrew, Helen Hall of the Arnprior Lionettes and Wayne Lavallee of the Arnprior Optimists Club.

end of door-to-door delivery, and where possible submit recommendations in advance,” Gallant said. “Taxpayers understand that as a crown corporation, Canada Post is prohibited from running a deficit,” she said. “Times have changed considerably from the days of our great grandparents when mail was delivered on horseback. “Thanks to the Internet, particularly in recent years, mail volumes have been dropping considerably. As a result of reduced mail volumes, Canada Post had to take immediate action.” Changes include reduced hours at some post office locations, leading to fewer well-paid jobs in rural areas that desperately need secure incomes
for people to raise their family. It also includes replacing door-todoor mail delivery for the one-third of Canadians, who receive it, with community mail boxes. However, there is mounting evidence that community boxes are vandalized and the contents stolen more often than at-home boxes. Gallant heard some of the complaints during the Arnprior meeting. “What I found is that the main concerns about the conversion from door-to-door mail delivery for the one-third of Canadians who receive it, to community mail boxes are accessibility for seniors and those with disabilities, cleanliness of the boxes, both in terms of waste and snow, and the planned locations of the mailboxes,” Gallant said. Some critics maintain that, while only one-third of Canadians receive home delivery, that number should be increased to at least two-thirds: not wiped out completely. Gallant hopes the community mail boxes are put in the most accessible locations. “When it comes to placing mail receptacles, Canada Post has confirmed to me its commitment to work with municipalities on their placement. I, in turn, am committed to working with constituents to see these changes implemented in a thoughtful and conscientious manner,” she said.
Ontario Increasing minimum wage
R0013053150
Ontario is raising the general minimum wage from $11 to $11.25 per hour, effective Oct. 1. Minimum wage rates for jobs in special categories such as liquor servers, homeworkers, and students are also increasing at the same time. The increase is the result of recent changes to the Employment Standards Act, 2000 (ESA) that tie minimum-wage increases to Ontario’s Consumer Price Index (CPI). .
“Our government has taken politics out of minimum wage increases while ensuring wages for Ontario workers keep pace with inflation and businesses have time to prepare for payroll changes,” said Labour Minister Kevin Flynn. “This puts more money in people’s pockets,” Minimum wage increases are to be announced by April 1 each year, and will be effective on October 1 of the same year.

Gallant backs Patrick Brown’s PC leadership bid Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant has endorsed the candidacy of fellow MP Patrick Brown for the provincial Progressive Conservative leadership. Gallant hosted a visit by the Barrie MP to the riding Saturday, calling him the frontrunner in the race to replace Tim Hudak when party members vote for a new leader in May. Christine Elliott and Monte McNaughton are the other candidates. Saying he will be the next Premier of Ontario, Gallant said that Brown “recognizes, as I do, if we do not get real, substantive change at Queen’s Park, things will only get worse for our youth, and particularly our seniors, or anyone else on a fixed income who cannot afford to pay for necessities like hydro.” In a news release, Gallant said “It would be a total disaster for Canada if the crazy Toronto liberal policies were shoved onto the rest of the country. “The naïve leader of the federal Liberals counts as his main advisor the person who wrote the ‘Greed Energy Act’ that is responsible for the huge Hydro rate increases,” she added.
“Ontario is spending billions on industrial wind turbines nobody wants to generate power we cannot use. That includes paying American States over a billion dollars to take unusable electricity rather than giving ratepayers a break on their power bills.” Gallant noted that Brown is committed to lowering hydro rates. “By scrapping the greed energy act, which he has pledged to do, we can start the process of repairing Ontario’s finances,” she said. “Constituents are constantly pleading for the federal government to intervene in areas of provincial jurisdiction because Ontario is so mismanaged. I am hearing stories of residents wearing snowmobile suits indoors and using candles because hydro has become so expensive. “I shudder to think what would happen if there was no federal Conservative government to provide balance,” said Gallant. “Consumption taxes like the proposed federal liberal carbon tax and hydro bill add-ons, are the worst kind of taxes as they disproportionately affect the poor and the unemployed,”
the local MPP added. “There are 350,000 fewer manufacturing jobs in Ontario as a result of the carbon tax/global adjustment charge the Toronto liberals have added to everyone’s hydro bill. The only reason Ontario is not worse off than it is, is the steady economic leadership from our Conservative
Government in Ottawa,” Gallant maintained. “As a member of the Conservative team in Ottawa, Patrick understands good government and the right way to look after jobs and the economy. “I am proud to offer my support to someone who knows what it takes to get the job done.”

Burnt Lands Alvar pub night planned for April 10 by MVFN The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists Club (MVFN) is planning a pub night Burnt Lands alvar fundraiser for April 10 after the success of the last event. “People came to show their support for the campaign to protect the Burnt Lands alvar, and stayed to enjoy the camaraderie of old friends and new acquaintances,” said Gretta Bradley of the Burnt Lands Alvar Campaign committee. The March 6 pub night at Moose McGuire’s in Almonte duplicated the success of the first. A large crowd enjoyed music of the Jimmy Tri-Tone Band and a trivia challenge. When not up dancing, pub-goers donated generously to the campaign, or took part in the draw and silent auction. Due to the popularity, one more pub night is planned. To celebrate the return of spring to the alvar, the pub night will be held at a “lively spot with all the trappings of a pub,” Ballygiblin’s in Carleton Place. The event runs from 7 to 9 p.m. Again, the trivia quiz, heads-or-tails, silent auction and music of The Jimmy Tri-Tone Band will provide entertainment. There is no charge for the April 10 event. Attend just to connect with people who genuinely care about this wild space with its unique ecology, urge organizers. For further information about the alvar and the campaign, contact the MVFN alvar committee at mvfnblalvar@gmail.com, visit http://mvfn.ca or find ‘Burnt Lands Alvar Campaign’ on Facebook. MVFN is a local member of the Ontario Nature Network and has a mandate to promote a better understanding and conservation of the natural world within the Mississippi River watershed.
Presently, MVFN is drawing attention to the ecological sensitivity of Burnt Lands Alvar and the development pressure it faces. Burnt Lands Alvar is a unique ecosystem of exceptional quality, with outstanding examples of alvar grasslands and other alvar habitats, and home to locally and globally rare species. Earlier this year MVFN formed an ad hoc ‘Burnt Lands Alvar Campaign committee’ to raise awareness and funds to challenge a housing development project within the alvar. “It would be a tragedy if an ecosystem that has lasted 10,000 years is allowed to be fragmented to the point where it becomes unviable,” said MVFN president Cliff Bennett. “The Ontario Provincial Policy Statement, the Lanark County Official Plan and the Mississippi Mills Official Plan all require protection of this special natural heritage area. Unfortunately, it has been left to ordinary citizens like us to fight this battle.”

Pasty chef finishes fourth in international competition Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
An Arnprior baker makes the world’s fourth best pasty, a renowned British culinary creation. Matt Grant of The Great British Pasty & Pie Co. - featured in a December 2014 issue of the Chronicle-Guide - recently returned from an international competition in Cornwall, England. He narrowly missed a top three finish by one point. Not bad for a mate who only took to cooking up the stuffed pastry pocket snacks less than two years ago. “It’s quite an accomplishment,� said Grant, who emigrated from London, England in the late 1980s. “I think I will go back next year. I want my pasty to be number one!� More than 150 entries, 20 judges, five hours of tasting and deliberating: this was no flaky fun event. Competitors were expected to carefully combine cubed steak, potato, onion, rutabaga and seasoning, along with the crucially important crust, to please the palate of some of the most discriminating experts on the planet. Grant is always quick to praise his produce supplier back here in Canada, Needham’s Market Garden. Given the chance, the ever enthusiastic Grant will go on and on about how much better Needham’s is than the store-bought stuff. But he didn’t have the local supplier with him in England. Was his pasty there inferior to those he makes here?
No, not really. Grant was pleased with how it turned out. Sure, he was in hotel kitchen using produce from the other side of the Atlantic, but he was pleased with the end result. The secret ingredient to his pasty is one airport security guards can’t take away from him. “Passion. If you are really passionate about what you are doing, it comes through in your food,� he said. “I work really hard; some nights until 2 in the morning. And I used to have a cushy job before. But I wouldn’t change it for the world. You don’t really think of it as work when you are doing what you love.� Even when fatigue sets in, Grant said he thinks of compliments from customers – “This is the best pasty I’ve had since leaving England� for example – that keep him going. He sleeps soundly in the knowledge that he is bringing joy to others’ tummies. Grant was also a hit with the media in England. He made a local newspaper and was interviewed on three radio stations. The Merry-Jacks and Kernowicks of Cornwall loved to learn more about the baker and his partner Jen Debenham who deliver pasties from a right-hand drive Land Rover imported from the U.K. The dual citizen is an ardent defender of many British foods, not simply the tasty pasty. When someone says British food is as bland as the grey skies over England, he comes back with praise for the country’s street food: the best and freshest fish and chips, for instance. “A lot of my favourite dishes are from Eng-

Although he only started baking pasties for about a year now, Arnprior’s Matt Grant placed fourth in an international competition. He points to Cornwall, England in a map made out of the popular stuffed pocket snack. land. I just gorge when I’m there.� When not at his home baking up pasties and more, The Great British Pasty & Pie people are

Payton Ziebarth and Theresa Paplinskie promote the upcoming Miss Teen Ontario East Pageant at the MyFM Renfrew Home and Leisure Show, which ran from March 20-22 at the Renfrew Armouries. Paplinskie, the student trustee on the Renfrew County Catholic School Board, was the 2014 Miss Teen Ontario East winner, while Ziebarth will be one of 21 delegates at the Pageant Sunday, April 12 at the Renfrew Recreation Centre. Ziebarth was selling tickets towards a quilt, which is making people mindful of childhood cancer, a special charity of the pageant.

Osgoode continued flying down the ice with Brad Burns scoring for the Senators with assists going to Dustin McNeely and goaltender Brad Wammes, tying the game at 3-3. Both teams were charging for the go-ahead goal when Rampton scored a hat trick goal to give Arnprior the 4-3 lead in the final minutes of the period. Both teams started the third period peppering both goaltenders with shot after shot. All of a sudden Osgoode’s Alex Mezaros got a breakaway and placed the puck in the top corner of the Arnprior net to tie the game at 4-4. Hungry for the go ahead goal, both teams continued the end-to -end action until the buzzer went to finish the third period. Osgoode won the faceoff to start overtime and Senator Dustin McNeely broke out over the Arnprior blue line and beat the Arnprior goaltender with a blistering shot to the top left corner. The game was over with the Senators this season’s playoff champions. Packers manager Doug Heeney noted that the Packers had an “unbelievable” regular season record of 19-1. “When two good teams like this play for the championship, either can win with hard work and a little luck,” he said. “Congratulations to the Osgoode Senators for a championship well deserved.”
THIS WEEK’S FEATURE R0033184490
It was a series full of thrills right to the very last whistle. Two evenly matched teams, the Arnprior Packers and the Osgoode Senators, duelled for the area’s Juvenile hockey championship in a series that went the full four games. In the end it was not to be for the defending champion and league titlewinning Packers, as they were edged 5-4 in overtime in Osgoode Saturday in front of a full house with fans for both teams hungry for the win. Both teams came off the puck drop at full speed in game four. The Packers Mitch Crozier opened the scoring in the first period with an unassisted goal. Brady Rampton scored for the Packers with assists from Jake Dunn and Chad Brennan scored just over a minute later to put Arnprior up 2-0 halfway through the first. Rampton scored again for the Packers with 3:22 remaining in the first period. Assists went to linemates Jake Dunn and Chad Brennan. You could see the energy waning from the Senators down 3-0 to the Packers, but Dustin McNeely re-energized the home team with its first goal before the first period was completed. Osgoode is a team known to never give up and once the players started believing in themselves again they began the second period on fire. The end-to-end skating continued at a feverish pace until Osgoode’s Jeramey Latimer scored assisted by Connor Higgins and Brad Burns.
The Arnprior Oldtimers Hockey League held its year-end tournament on the March 27-28 weekend and for the second year in a row the Legion took home the Vince Herrick Cup.

Sean Swayze of Braeside slides down the hill in a slalom race. Swayze placed in the top 10 at provincials and moved on to the Eastern North American Can Am races March 28-29.
Calabogie Ski Racing Club racers are roaring out of the start gates and into the final races of the season. The under-16 and U18 group have barely slept in their own beds lately, having participated in Speed Camp at Mont Ste. Marie Feb. 2527, followed by the Art Tommy Memorial Alpine Combined Feb. 28 and March 1, and finally hopping on a plane to Thunder Bay for the U16 provincials March 7-11. The Art Tommy Memorial featured two days of Super Combined races, where racers compete in one Super G run and one Slalom run, with the results combined. On Day One of the Art Tommy – a race named after a well-known Ottawa ski racer – Emma Schreider
(Kingston) topped the Calabogie U16 girls with 20th place while Alexa Loudiadis (Ottawa) was hot on her heels in 21st. Grace Gaffney (Deep River) sped to 28th place, Alex Kerr (Kemptville) carved into 31st, Eve Yantha (Combermere) was 32nd, Jenna Wissing (Kanata) 33rd, and Jessica Earle (Greely) 37th. Lauren Campbell-Brunke of Renfrew had a strong Super G run but was disqualified in the Slalom portion. Calabogie’s U18 racer, Aylen Ferguson of Carp, grabbed seventh place. Meanwhile, the boys had several strong showings. Sam Duff (Pembroke) collected a fifth-place ribbon, Nick Caves (Barrhaven) carved to seventh, and Tarik Hamrouni (Barrhaven) snagged 14th. Connor Maclean (Manotick) had two clean runs for a 25th-place finish, and Jack Hamilton (Ottawa)
followed suit in 26th. Casey Williams (Rankin), Alex Duff (Pembroke), Aiden Keuninckx (Perth), Liam Maclean (Manotick), and Jake Yantha (Combermere) were all unable to complete both runs. On day two, Lauren redeemed herself with a 12th place and Aylen mounted the podium for a silver medal. Alex and Sam Duff were very speedy, sharing the podium in the first and third positions, while Nick was eighth and Jake rounded out the top 10. Casey Williams had a fantastic result as well - 14th. The U16s followed up speed week by catching a flight shortly afterwards to Loch Lomond Ski Area in Thunder Bay March 7-11 for U16 provincials. The team competed in two Slalom, 1 Super G, and 2 GS races. Notable results include Sam R0013208609/0402

Hockey parents to undergo conduct training probably the first time that’s happened in a long time.”
Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
It doesn’t say much for Canada’s game when parents are expected to pass a code of conduct test, but that’s what will happen at the youngest levels in Arnprior beginning next season. The Arnprior Minor Hockey Association (AMHA) held its annual general meeting on March 26. Among the issues dealt with was the new Respect in Sport program, formally known as Speak Out. Up until next season, anyone who wanted to coach, be a trainer or manage a minor hockey team in the Hockey Eastern Ontario (HEO) region was expected to pass Speak Out. Now, though, at least one parent or guardian of a player entering the initiation program or novice must take Respect in Sport, a 15-minute on-line examination that deals with acceptable conduct around players and the rink in general. The HEO-mandated program will cost $12. Those with Speak Out won’t be required to pass Respect in Sport. Parents in atom, peewee, bantam, midget and juvenile will be expected to pass the test in future years. Numerous incidents of parents behaving badly in the Ottawa region have captured headlines. A rink in Buckingham called the police 10 times in one month for fans screaming obscenities and worse. A Stittsville trainer was suspended after a fight involving a 19-year-old referee in February. A couple from Carp pleaded not guilty to assault following a hockey tournament in the U.S. Although no incidents involving the law has occurred in Arnprior in recent memory, HEO wants to be seen as being proactive with its 15-minute tutorial and test. AMHA intends to “look at tightened discipline and consequences,” according to president Matt Naismith. POLICE CHECKS
Individual teams at the competitive level all had good seasons. The novice team finished the regular season in second and won the playoffs. The atom team went 23-1-0 during the regular season and also won the county championship. The peewees placed first in the regular season but lost in the championship series. The bantams finished in sixth place/ The midget team finished in fourth. The juvenile team finished an impressive 19-1 but lost the championship game in overtime.

Invitation to Child Health Clinics
Matt Naismith, president of Arnprior Minor Hockey Association, begins the annual general meeting with equipment director Michelle Beale looking on. The meeting included team season results, financials and a new rule next year that at least one guardian must pass a code of conduct on-line test. having all 10 directors be new to the board in any given year. New next year is the vice-president; Dustin Dorkin was voted in unanimously. Kari Hisko was named secretary, Scott Catterill treasurer. Matt Naismith remains president. Directors include Cory Klinkenberg, Joe Brennan, Trevor Reid, Michelle Beale, Kathy MacKenzie, Cory Saunders, Harvey Ogilvie, Denyse Leduc, Ryan Muldoon and Lyle Barr. A vacancy exists in training and development. Body checking didn’t come up during the meeting, but Naismith later spoke to the movement to ban hitting at the bantam level. An influential Toronto hockey association recently announced its decision to ban checking for fears of it causing a rise in concussions. Naismith suspects the HEO will discuss a similar move, but that it will be two or three years before it could filter down to the local level. He believes most of the board would oppose the removal of body checking. In his report, Naismith said the season proved a challenge with the uncertainty caused by the lack of a service agreement between Arnprior and McNab-Braeside. But with the agreement revived, the out-of-town user fees will no longer be required.

Naismith spoke to the declining enrolment. Nine fewer players, 203, registered to play this winter. It’s not a good news story for hockey fans to know that across the country parents are increasingly wary of injury and rising costs. But the upside, at least in
Arnprior, is that kids can get more ice time and are more likely to be affiliated with another team. “This is a benefit that is promoted by HEO guidelines, a benefit that is desired in all years and thus affiliation will continue to be encouraged at all levels in the coming years,” Naismith said. “We also had complaints of too much ice (time). That’s
%(&.#G%%&(&-)..-
Also new next year will be an easing of police checks. They will be required of team officials every two to three years, rather than each year. That brings AMHA in line with HEO and Hockey Canada guidelines. And it makes for less paperwork to the volunteer board of directors. Another change has to do with officials being restructured to one team unless the board approves otherwise. The group also agreed at the meeting to give all 10 directors two-year terms. Currently some are on oneyear terms. The board will avoid

Jordan also had the opportunity to meet Christine Sinclair and train with her and the rest of the Women’s Canadian National Soccer Team last summer with her Ottawa South club at the new Lansdowne Park. During that session, Prime Minister Stephen Harper also joined the girls to play in goal. Most recently, Jordan and other AMBUSC players became ‘Fury Fanatics’ and joined the Ottawa Fury professional men’s squad of the North American Soccer League at Lansdowne Park in Ottawa to meet the players.

Hy-Liners still stepping it up for Camp-Laurenâ&#x20AC;Ż Line-dancing is alive and well in the Valley, and over the past 10 years, a link has been forged between this dance form and a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer camp. The campaign to help Camp LauRen began through the efforts of Hyacinth Chatterton, an Arnprior resident and line-dance instructor, who has worked withâ&#x20AC;Żlearners of all ages throughout her career as an educator. When asked about the connection between line-dancing and the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s camp, Chatterton starts by giving aâ&#x20AC;Żbig thank-you to several dedicated instructors and/or choreographers in Ottawa and its environs. Through their efforts, she explains, a vibrant interest in this dance-form has been maintained in the area thanks to Ann, Barbara, Bev,â&#x20AC;ŻBritt, Carol, Dave,â&#x20AC;ŻErwin, Fernande, Gary, Joanne, â&#x20AC;ŻJoey, Johanne, Juliet, Mary,â&#x20AC;ŻMichel, Pat, Rhonda, Sheila, Sue, Susie, Valerie, et al. She then recalls that in the years preceding the formation of her group, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Hy-Linersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, she became acquainted with and was influenced
by many of these contacts. She has continued toâ&#x20AC;Żinvite themâ&#x20AC;Żto participate whenever available, in an annual line-dance fundraiser for the camp, which is held each spring, and is known as the Arnprior Party-Atelier (APPA). Camp Lau-Ren is located on the Ottawa River, 10 kilometres west of Deep River. This popularâ&#x20AC;Żresidential camp is owned and operated by the United Church of Canada, and children of all denominations are welcome toâ&#x20AC;Żattend for a week during summer. Participants range from ages 6 to 16, and in addition to experiencing theâ&#x20AC;Żfun of campfire activities as a regular part of their routine, they also engage in archery, canoeing, crafts, life study, sports, swimming, etc. Whyâ&#x20AC;Żdid Chatterton chooseâ&#x20AC;Żthis camp as the beneficiary of the linedance fundraiser?â&#x20AC;ŻShe wellâ&#x20AC;Żremembers discussing this with her Sunday School intermediate class at Grace-St Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church in Arnprior, andâ&#x20AC;Żvividly recalls the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; enthusiastic reaction when she suggestedâ&#x20AC;ŻCamp Lau-Renâ&#x20AC;Żas the possible recipient of funds from such an event. From then on the shaping of her plans began and the first linedance party took place in 2006. In order to spread the word regarding the benefits of line-dancing, Chatterton spearheaded a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;revivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of
HY-LINERS/SUBMITTED
Some of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Hy-Linersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; from the Nick Smith Centre and the Almonte Community Centre performed in late summerâ&#x20AC;Żfor residents and staff at a seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; residence in Carleton Place. From left are Mary Ellen Lynn, Sharon Roper, Barbara Glasgow, Gail Denton, instructor Hyacinth Chatterton, Donna Wickie, Edileide Cathcart, Elle Vidler and Rosemary Drziak showcase one of the numbers performed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Baby Come Homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. this dance-form, starting in fall 2010, targetingâ&#x20AC;ŻAlmonte, Carleton Place and surrounding areas. Since then, she has welcomed participants to her sessionsâ&#x20AC;Żfrom near and far, including Almonte, Arnprior, Braeside, Carleton Place, Carp, Constance Bay, Dunrobin, Eganville,
Horton, Kanata, Kinburn, Lombardy, Merrickville, Ottawa, Perth, Port Elmsley, Renfrew, Stittsville, Waba and White Lake. Chatterton is thrilled to note the ongoing interest in this form of dancing. From her vantage-point as an educator, she feels that there are several
reasons for this. Firstly, she says, while promotingâ&#x20AC;Żher Line-dance programs, she emphasizes the activity offers two unmistakable basic benefits - it is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fun-to-doâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, as well as being â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;goodfor-youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. See LINE-DANCE Page 33

Line-dance proven fun for all ages: Chatterton Continued from Page 31
There are always noticeable, positive learning outcomes from this dynamic combination, Chatterton explains. Next, although this activity is suitable for both genders, having a partner is not a pre-requisite, as for many other dance-forms. Another bonus, she continues, is that line-dancing is enjoyed by all age groups. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the pleasure of instructing participants ranging in age from pre-Kindergarten to 80 and over,â&#x20AC;? she says. Line-dancing is well-known for its beneficial aerobic content, butâ&#x20AC;Żfurthermore it delivers a weight-bearing component, recognized for its importance in developing and maintaining muscle-tone. To top it all, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;brain-trainingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is also wellcovered through learning and repeating the various sequential patterns continually presented, as participants progress through the program levels. Saturday, April 11 will mark the 10th anniversary of supporting Camp Lau-Ren throughâ&#x20AC;Żthis workshop/party,â&#x20AC;Żwhichâ&#x20AC;Żisâ&#x20AC;Żtailored to suitâ&#x20AC;Żline-dancers of every level.â&#x20AC;ŻIt will be hosted by the Hy-Liners and between 80 and 100 participants are expected, typically arriv-

Mother, instead of sitting at the end of the old pine table in front of her diaries as usual, that night was gathering up mitts, wool hats, and ordering us, the five of us, to put our long underwear in the dirty clothes, because it wasnʼt likely we would be wearing it again the next day. Coming from the Northcote school that day, we had to carry our coats as the sun beat down on us, and the smell of spring was in the air. Just a few days before, it was cold and a fierce wind cut across the 20-acre field, and there was no doubt in anyoneʼs mind that winter was still around. But now, so soon after, the weather changed, and we could see that much of the snow had gone from the fields, and the Northcote Side Road was bare. It was no wonder Mother said spring was in the air, and it was
time to get rid of the heavy clothes and that included the long underwear we had been wearing since the first bite of winter in the fall. There wasnʼt one of us who wasnʼt thrilled to be rid of the hateful long johns. After months of weekly washings, they had lost their softness, the ankles were stretched beyond repair, and the elastic around the waist hung limp. We were more than happy to bid the long underwear goodbye! That night, Mother was gathering up the mitts, scarves and hats and piling everything on a chair near the back door. It wasnʼt Monday, so there would be no washing. Everything would have to wait for the laundry tub until after the weekend.
Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
I could see Father shaking his head from his rocking chair by the Findlay Oval. Finally, he couldnʼt keep quiet any longer. “Iʼm telling you Mabel, thereʼs plenty winter out there yet. Everyone will be back in that long underwear, you can bet on it!” Mother stopped gathering up the mitts, hats and scarves. “Now, Albert, where were you all day? Iʼm telling you weʼve seen the last of the snow. Sure, itʼs like May out there today.” Father lifted the lid off the Findlay Oval and slapped his pipe into the

firebox, emptying it and getting ready for another load of pipe tobacco. He took his time sitting back down in the rocking chair. And then he went on to explain to Mother once again all the signs that pointed to a long winter and that it wasnʼt over yet, and it mattered not how warm it was that day, or if all the snow had gone off the Northcote Side Road. He explained a sure sign was how deep the early snow was. “Thatʼs a sure sign. If the deer can reach the branches of the trees, you can count on a long winter.” He relit his pipe. “And remember when we butchered and the pig liver ʻmeltʼ showed those little lumps ... well, that told me what we were in for.” Mother just shook her head, and once again told Father that those “old wives tales” as she called them, held no water with her! The next morning, I could hear Father in the kitchen lighting the fire as he did every morning. And the bedroom had chilled off overnight, as I ran to jump into my clothes for school, so glad to be rid of the long underwear. But it seemed awfully bright out the bedroom window and it wasnʼt an early morning sun either. I went to the window and lo and behold, the snow was coming down in buckets full. And it looked like it had snowed all night! Then I heard Mother coming up
the stairs. She had dug out the long underwear from the pile of clothes we had taken off the night before and without a word, handed them over to each of us. When we went downstairs for breakfast, our hats, mitts and scarves were waiting for us at the back door. Father came in from the chores and sat down at the table for his breakfast. Mother was banging the frying pan around on the top of the stove. She was wearing the look she wore when she was as mad as a hatter. Father knew better than to mention the signs he had talked about the night before or to say, “I told you so,” when Mother hissed, “And I donʼt want to hear about the deer eating low branches or spots of a pigʼs liver.” The snow was as deep as it had been at the first of the winter and we would find out it would come down for the next three days. Even my brother Emerson, who usually had a lot to say, never opened his mouth at the kitchen table that morning except to shovel in the porridge and toast. It was the quietest breakfast weʼd had in a long time. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Springtime and pet adoptions common, but don’t be rash With spring on its way our attention turns to the adoption of a new household pet. Most of us adopt on impulse without much thought to the needs of the adopted pet. I hear it all the time, my kids want a puppy, my kids just fell in love with my mother’s puppy or I promised the children when they’re old enough to look after the puppy we will adopt one. First of all, most of the time children lose interest and mom and dad, with their busy schedules, end up looking after the newly adopted pet or worse, after a trial and error period, the new addition finds itself at a shelter again. How unfair. What would be better for you, adopting a mature pet that has all the vaccinations, is toilet trained and has had all the little quirks worked out. or do you adopt a young pet that will need guidance in its formidable years and a whole lot of patience. The simple way of ruling out future problems is to adopt smart. For example, if you live in an apartment than adopt a small less active pet like a kitten or cat or a small dog that does not bark instead of a large dog that requires a lot of room and attention. Don’t adopt two at the same time. Shelters have a bad habit of adopting out on
two-fur-one basis simply because they are overcrowded and must liquidate. If you cannot commit to one adoption, you will most definitely not be able to comIAN STUPP mit to two. If you want a pet but work 12-hour shifts or are away from the house for long periods at a time, perhaps you should not be looking at adopting until your situation changes or adopt a mature cat that you know is litter box trained and won’t destroy your home while you’re away. If you’re an older retired couple or individual, do not adopt a large overly active pet that requires lots of exercise and room to roam. Adopt a smaller pet that you can take with you while enjoying those golden years. The last thing you need is to be tied down.
Pet Talk
Puppies and kittens require a lot of time, patience and money. You should have them vet checked within the first day or two after the adoption to make sure that they are healthy. Puppies and kittens will need to be inoculated, toys and accessories will be purchased and that does not include the initial cost of the adoption or purchase. What I’m trying to say is, adopt based upon your needs, criteria such as your overall health, financial means, rent or own, apartment or home, backyard, acreage or balcony, work schedule: they are just some of the things you should consider before you head out the door and get to that cute and cuddly stage. Having a pet should be for life and not just some passing fancy. There are those of us out there that just make a decision based on very little other than a desire to adopt with little or no regard to how the new addition will feel when things don’t work out. Remember, pets have feelings too! Ian owns and operates Wags & Whiskers Dog and Cat Grooming and Puppy Kindergarten at 118 John St. North, Arnprior.

A birthday celebration was held on Wednesday for Isabel Monroe, former Director of Nurses at Arnprior Hospital and Edna Carey, also a former nurse at Arnprior Hospital. These wonderful nurses were hosted for lunch at the Antrim Truck Stop, by 25 nurses who worked with them in the past many years.
I would like to express my thanks to Robyn Michelle and her team of professionals for making Sparkplug’s last days as tolerable as possible. Also the Doctor’s and their staff at the Marmora clinic for the medical care they provided throughout this time of need. Also Claudia Kwok, Carrie Bursey and her brother Morley for all their help and understanding. And a very special thanks to Carrie for being there when I needed someone and for putting up with my whining! I appreciate all their help and for playing no head games and not lying through their teeth to me, that in itself was more than half the battle George Fuzzy Johnson

PAIGE Mary Rose The Paige family announces with sadness the passing of Mary Paige, formerly of Pakenham on March 26, 2015 at Fairview Manor at the age of 97. Born Mary Rose Nicholson on December 15, 1917 in Kilmuir, Prince Edward Island, she was the daughter of the late Daniel J Nicholson (1920) and the late Flora Rose (1975). Mary was predeceased by her husband Bert (1975), daughter Dawn (1975), son Daniel E (2012), and two brothers: Daniel J (killed in action in 1944) and Homer (1965). She is the dearly loved mother of Ian (Janet Rintoul), Jane (Stewart Barr), Margie (Ritchie Argue), and Sandra (Francis Fuca); the proud grandmother of Rodney Barr (Samantha), Cindy Hartwick (Troy), Emily Paige (Daniel Gies), Daniel M Paige (Carly Leithead), Paige Wattie (Jared), Gillian Argue, and Grace Badham (Andrew); and she is survived by her 10 wonderful great-grandchildren. Mary is also fondly remembered by Alice Puddington; niece and nephews: Janice, Frankie and Jamie, in Kitchener; and sister-in-law, Nancy Paige, in California. At the age of eighteen Mary was teaching at a one-room school at Albion, PEI (many grades in one room was no doubt valuable preparation for rearing six kids and welcoming all their pals). Throughout her life she cherished her Island roots, often returning to see family and friends. During the war, she was hired by the Bank of Montreal in Charlottetown to fill a vacancy left when her brother Dan enlisted in the army never to return. On a blind date in 1943, Mary met Bertram Courtney Paige, an RCAF officer from Bridgeport, Ontario who was training in Summerside. Before Bert returned overseas, they were wed in 1944 in Alberta where he had been stationed. Bert and Mary lived in Kitchener, Waterloo and Gowanstown prior to moving to Pakenham in 1965. Mary was a quiet, private person who deeply valued her friendships with dear neighbours in Pakenham, as well as those formed while working as the bookkeeper in the early days of the Centennial Restaurant. She treasured the time spent as a life member of the Women’s Institute, as a member of St. Andrew’s United Church and the UCW, as a volunteer at the library, and at the card table playing bridge. A Memorial Service was held at 11:00 am on Tuesday, March 31 at St Andrew’s United Church in Pakenham. A reception followed, and as Mary would want, dessert will be served! Arrangements entrusted to C.R. GAMBLE FUNERAL HOME & CHAPEL INC. 127 Church St., Almonte, ON. (613)-256-3313 Heartfelt thanks to the dedicated staff at Fairview Manor for their compassionate care. Donations to St Andrew’s United Church or Fairview Manor Auxiliary would be appreciated. Condolences & Tributes: www.crgamble.com
