News - Hey, hey: remember the big man who put out a forest fire halfway between “Renfrew and ol’ Arnprior�? He did it with five spit balls all the way from Smiths Falls? Apparently his last name is offensive to some and, therefore, won’t be appearing on the back of a football mascot’s jersey. Heave hi ho. Just three days after naming its mascot Big Joe Mufferaw - the folk legend immortalized by Arnprior author Bernie Bedore and folk singer Stompin’ Tom Connors – the newly revived Ottawa CFL team shortened its new mascot’s name to ‘Big Joe’ in English and ‘Grand Jos’ in French. Redblacks president Jeff Hunt said in a March 31 press release that some Francophone football fans from Gatineau and Eastern Ontario, which make up 35 per cent of the fan base, complained about the name. Bedore’s fictional lumberjack was inspired by Joseph Montfer-
rand, a real life Outaouais logger and defender of Francophone rights in the early 1800s. “We unintentionally offended some with the original name and we sincerely apologize for that,� Hunt said. “We hope to create a fan base that is unified in its support for the RedBlacks and we will continue to strive to do our best in that regard.� There is no mention of how many complaints were received. The name was chosen after overwhelming support was revealed in a survey. Bedore’s daughter, Judy, still lives in Arnprior and owns the rights to Big Joe Mufferaw. The team and Judy were to join in new promotional ventures. She is saying little at this point, inviting folks to stay tuned for a measured response. But when reached for comment Tuesday morning, Judy said the phone hasn’t stopped ringing. She is not upset with Hunt directly, just disappointed there are still people out there who want to divide the Ottawa Valley community. See MUFFERAW Page 3

News – The growing ‘sunshine’ list of Ontario civil servants who made at least $100,000 in 2013 includes several hundred people working in Renfrew County.
The annual release of the Public Sector Salary Disclosure list was made available last Friday with almost 100,000 names on the list. While the number has increased by about 11 per cent over 2012 to 97,795, the provincial government points out the average salary was down slightly to $127,433.
The Town of Arnprior has only one person on the list, CAO Michael Wildman, who made $138,774. In comparison, the Town of Renfrew had seven members, including its clerk, treasurer and director of development and works, as well as four members of its fire department.

Protests change mascot’s name Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com
ADAM KVETON/METROLAND
Judy Bedore of Arnprior and the Ottawa RedBlacks football team’s newly named mascot, Big Joe Mufferaw, greet excited children at a French public school in Kanata on March 28. Three days later the name was changed to Big Joe because of complaints from some Francophones in the region.
Mufferaw deserves to be celebrated: Bedore Continued from front
“It’s unfortunate, but it’s not over, it’s not done,” Judy said. “Watch for updates and promotions about Mufferaw. I will be setting the record straight on the history and methodology that created Big Joe.” She said both the person and character are real in their own way and deserve to be celebrated and enjoyed by all who want to build the greater community
through tourism, sport and other means. People on the Quebec side have long loved Mufferaw, Judy said. She knows it because she lived it – going back to 1962 when her father’s first book came out, all the way to six years ago this June when he died. She is hoping folks on that side of the river will speak in his defence. Many questions have yet to
Sports - Over 100 students from Kanata’s French public school cheered the announcement of the RedBlacks mascot name – Big Joe Mufferaw – on March 28. But, by March 31, the name was changed: Just ‘Big Joe’ in English, and ‘Grand Jos’ in French. According to a RedBlacks news release, the franchise “unintentionally offended some with the original name,” reads a quote from Jeff Hunt, president of OSEG sports, “and we sincerely apologize for that.” The origin of the name comes from the main character in a series of books by Bernie Bedore who based his character, Joe Mufferaw, on Joseph Montferrand, a French-Canadian logger and French language rights pioneer. The Big Joe Mufferaw character was made more famous with the Stompin’ Tom Connors song of the same name. The change might come as a shock to students who, at the unveiling, greeted the announcement with whoops of applause, clamouring to shake hands and hug the mascot.

The Ottawa RedBlacks football team’s newly named mascot, Big Joe, greets excited children at Kanata’s French public school on March 28. The unveiling did not go quite the same elsewhere in Ottawa. Some went to Twitter to express their delight at the Big Joe Mufferaw name, as a fan poll showed thousands in support of it.\ However, others said they felt the use of the anglicized version of Montferrand alienates French-Canadians, and even expunges the Outaouais legend’s francophone roots.
However, the mascot’s roots were not lost on all. After Friday’s announcement, the school’s principal, Matthieu Vachon, said Big Joe Mufferaw was “a wonderful choice of name.” “Jos Montferrand is a pioneer of French language rights in Ontario, so it’s a great choice of name for the mascot of the team, and it shows the heritage of Ottawa and eastern Ontario,” he said. Vachon could not be reached to comment on the name change. However, along with the name change come several questions: will the Stompin’ Tom Connors song be featured at RedBlacks games? Will the planned new series of Big Joe Mufferaw books go ahead? How will teachers at Kanata’s French public school break the news to students that Big Joe Mufferaw has been axed? Or at least a part of him. Regardless of the ensuing problems with changing the name, Hunt said he didn’t want to divide fans. “We hope to create a fan base that is unified in its support for the RedBlacks and we will continue to strive to do our best in that regard.”
be answered. Will the Stompin’ Tom song be featured at RedBlacks games? Will the planned new series of Big Joe Mufferaw books go ahead? How to explain to the original supporters that half the name has been axed? Bedore’s hero was turned into Paul Bunyan by Walter Disney, and is the subject of an upcoming film by National Film Board director David New.

News – Coun. Ted Strike was presented the Town Award during a ceremony at town hall on March 24. The award is given out for a variety of reasons, including three terms on council. Strike was also municipal public works director for the town for 24 years. “His dedication to the town is foremost,� Mayor David Reid said at the presentation, while also acknowledging Strike’s wife, Beverly, for her understanding. Throughout Strike’s nine years as a member of council he has contributed to advancing several major projects including the major expansion to the water and waste water facilities, the expansion of highway 417, the extension of services to the south side of the highway 417 and the introduction of the new Rolling Road Rehabilitation program.

Without mentioning names, he pointed to a number of family members and friends who received it over the years, but never expected his named to be called. Of the 112 individuals and organizations who have won the award, Strike has known most but assumed “It will never hap-
pen to me.� Then it did. “Sixty years after the town crest award was created, I can proudly say to myself: It did happen to me.� According to a town press release: “Arnprior is where Ted and his wife Bev raised their two children. Arnprior is Ted’s home and he is quick to tell you many special ‘mo-
ments of history’ that make the town what it is today. You will often find Bev and Ted walking through town, inspecting the roads and stopping to talk with friends and residents. “Council and staff congratulate and thank Coun. Ted Strike of his contributions and indelible achievements to the Town of Arnprior.�
The health, education and judicial sectors dominated the rest of the list. Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) had four members making at least $100,000, led by CEO Eric Hanna who made $187,853. The ARH’s three vice-presidents – Steven Hudson (finance and support service), Leah Levesque (patient/resident services) and Ron Marcotte (human resources) – all made $109,220. In comparison, Renfrew Victoria Hospital had six members making at least $100,000. The Renfrew County District Health Unit had three members on the list, including recently retired medical officer of health, Michael Corriveau, who made $285,951 last year, just below the county’s best paid public servant, Pembroke Hospital CEO Pierre Noel at $293,576. There were 66 Renfrew County public and 44 Renfrew County Catholic school board employees on the list. That included 16 administrators, 29 principals, nine vice-principals and 12 teachers for the public board and seven administrators, 23 principals, three vice-principals and 11 teachers for the Catholic board. The public board’s director of education Roger Clarke earned $199,192. Four superintendents – Dennis Jenkins, Gayle Bishop, Debra Rantz and Lisa Schimmens – made about $156,000 each. Over at the Catholic board, di-
rector of education Michele Arbour made $178,046 last year, with superintendents Jaime Perry, Peter Adam and Mary Lynn Schauer making between $148,000 and $155,000. The judges presiding over provincial courts in Renfrew County made $271,420. Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski earned $132,867. Most townships, including McNab-Braeside, had no employees on the list. The only two in the southern end of the county were Greater Madawaska and Whitewater Region, whose CAO-treasurers Allison Holtzhauer and Annette Mantifel made just over $100,000. The number of City of Ottawa employees on the list grew to 2,188, partly because of increases in wages of those in emergency services. To see the full list, visit fin.gov. on.ca/en/publications/salarydisclosure/pssd. The sunshine list announcement came with a reminder that the provincial government is working on legislation to set remuneration frameworks for senior executives in the civil service, The government has already frozen salaries for executives at hospitals, universities, colleges, school boards and provincially owned electricity companies. As well, the government introduced legislation that would extend a freeze on MPP salaries until the Ontario budget is balanced in 2017-18.

Don’t blame Opposition if four-laning delayed: Yakabuski John.carter@metroland.com
News - Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski has taken exception to a suggestion by Ontario Transportation Minister Glen Murray that the provincial Opposition parties and the federal government should share the blame if the four-laning of Highway 417 up the Valley is delayed. Murray indicated during a brief visit to Arnprior last month to see the highway four-laning work first-hand that the minority Liberal government couldn’t add the next phase of the work from Scheel Drive to Renfrew on the ministry’s five-year plan without support from the Opposition parties for more investment into infrastructure. The federal government should also ante up some money as Highway 17 is the Trans Canada Highway, he added. Yakabuski responded to the comments by pointing out that it is the government not the Opposition that decides on which projects should go ahead. “I don’t believe it was acceptable for him to come into the riding and play cheap political games,” he said. Yakabuski followed up his comments by raising the issue at Queen’s Park on March 24. He was upset that there might have been an inference he was backing away from his strong support for the four-laning through Renfrew County. “I never stopped pushing that project and I’m not going to stop now,” he told the Chronicle-Guide. “I think I’ve had some success getting it through Arnprior.” He noted that several Liberal highways ministers have congratulated him over the years for his lobbying to have Highway 17 four-laned. During question period in the Legislature, Yakabuski expressed disappointment in Murray’s statements, which he interpreted as questioning his commitment to the twinning of Highway 17. He said the Conservatives are committed to bringing the province’s finances into line and supporting a weak Liberal budget just to get Highway 17 twinned would be “ludicrous.” If the provincial debt isn’t tackled, all projects, including Highway 17 improvements, would be jeopardized, he said. He noted that the $1.1 billion wasted on the gas plant cancellations “could have twinned Highway 17 10 times over.” However, his party is not recommending chopping infrastructure funding, he maintained. Yakabuski emphasized that Murray has discretion as Minister of Transportation over highway projects. “If the Minister instructs his staff to make Highway 17 a top priority - it becomes a top priority,” he said. “The authority to make the decision rests with him and him alone. My
job is to continue to advocate for its approval, which I have been doing for the last 10 years - the minister said as much in his remarks in the House,” said Yakabuski. As the local MPP, Yakabuski said he is familiar with the safety concerns of driving on Highway 17 and the economic implications the project would have in Renfrew County and for all of Eastern Ontario. “For years there has been a steady stream of e-mails, letters, and phone calls to my office from concerned residents and municipal leaders asking me to highlight the importance of this project,” said Yakabuski. He said Murray, when asked in Question Period, agreed
566 Cataraqui Woods Dr., Kingston, ON K7P 2Y5
R0012621935
there is no merit to the suggestion the project has been delayed due to lack of advocacy from local representatives. Moreover, Murray commended the MPP for his advocacy on the twinning project. “I was pleased that the minister clarified his comments and wants the twinning to go forward,” Yakabuski remarked. “My desire going forward is that we can work together to get the twinning of the highway put on the Transportation Ministry’s five-year plan.”

Local Sochi paralympians honoured at CIBC event Brandon Gillet brandon.gillet@metroland.com
Sports - Local area athletes from the 2014 Sochi Paralympics were commemorated by CIBC at its South Keys banking centre on March 28. Surrounded by family and friends as well as CIBC and Canadian Paralympic Committee partners, the five Team Canada members were shown the admiration for their representation of the country. Bronze medallists from team Canada men’s sledge hockey Ben Delaney and Marc Dorion attended, their necks adorned with their prize. Alongside the medallists were Caroline Bisson and Margarita Gorbounova of the biathlon/para-nordic ski team and John Leslie of Arnprior from the para-snowboard team. Presenting the athletes with commemorative gold-plated medallions were CIBC district vice-president Dean Chapman, and Karen O’Neill, chief executive officer of the CPC. The large turnout nearly filled the banking centre, solidifying the fact that Canadians rally around their athletic

Snowboarder John Leslie, right, of Arnprior were among the Paralympians saluted for their efforts. representatives. “It feels amazing, I didn’t expect this to be such a big
turnout, and it’s definitely an incredible welcome home,” said Gorbounova. “I’m re-
ally thankful to CIBC for organizing this and to CPC of course.”
“It kind of makes you feel like it doesn’t really matter what happened when you were over there,” said Leslie. “When you come back, Canadians are proud of you and super stoked on how everything went.” CIBC announced in October its four-year sponsorship of the Canadian Paralympic Committee. It is meant to broaden CIBC’s support of Canada’s up-and-coming amateur athletes and enrich communities while inspiring the next generation of youth. “Congratulations to our athletes, coaches, and partners,” said O’Neill. “And again CIBC thank you for honouring the Canadian Paralympic team in your great work in connecting our athletes across the country.” The athletes demonstrated immense pride when showed the respect given them. Ottawa area MP David McGuinty expressed the appreciation felt by the whole country for the athletes who competed in Sochi. “The world is watching what you’re doing, how you’re doing it, and everyone is deeply proud,” said McGuinty.
“Being a part of the Canadian team is such an honour,” said Leslie. “As you know we come from a beautiful, spectacular country full of the nicest people. And it’s really nice to come home and have a lot of people showing support.”
Canadians are proud of you and super stoked on how everything went. JOHN LESLIE
“Being part of the Canadian team is a great honour and I’m really proud to have represented Canada in Sochi,” said Gorbounova. “Paralympic athletes have a powerful message to share,” said Bisson. “That message is that everyone, as human beings have this incredible power to adapt, to bounce back when life circumstances brought to us are difficult. That is a power that each and every one of us has.”

County kick-off ceremony for Daffodil Month Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com
News - Renfrew County volunteers with the Canadian Cancer Society helped launch April’s annual fundraising campaign in county council chambers. In a brief, heartfelt address to county council March 26, canvasser Jean Maves spoke about the importance of the campaign. “Please give generously when your canvasser comes to call,” she said. “Why do we work so hard during Daffodil Month, and every other month of the year? “It’s because every three minutes another Canadian is diagnosed with cancer. Many of them are our friends and family,” added Maves, who has lost one family member to cancer. “Donations to the society support life-saving cancer research. Those same donations fund local programs like our volunteer

vived cancer. MAKING A DIFFERENCE’
“Today, that number is 62 per cent, and people today with cancer are living longer, and living a better quality of life. We are making a difference.” However, Maves stressed
that the Canadian Cancer Society needs continued support to “help us reach our vision, a world where no Canadian fears cancer.” Maves was joined at the kickoff ceremony by Dave Henderson, fundraising co-ordinator for the Renfrew County chapter of the Canadian Cancer Society.

EDITORIAL
One hundred grand reasons to protest Friday Talk about rubbing salt into the wound. A week before a number of province-wide protests are planned about onerous and discombobulated hydro rates in Ontario, the annual ‘sunshine’ list of provincial civil servants making at least $100,000 a year was released. At one time, employees of Crown corporations weren’t included on the list, but that changed a few years ago. Now Hydro One and Ontario Power Generation workers are listed – pages and pages of them. The late March release day timing of the list can’t be very comfortable for hydro officials this year. Protests are planned this Friday, April 4 during the mid-day in various locations, including Ottawa, Renfrew and Carleton Place. While not the most convenient time for rallies, large crowds are expected because of the growing anger and desperation over ballooning electricity rates, especially in rural areas. The dramatically higher bills in many cases are not only endangering the financial stability and safety of residents on fixed incomes, they are threatening rural economic development and services. When you have, for example, the owners of the only seniors home in Barry’s Bay threatening to close down because they can’t afford to pay their hydro bills, it’s a serious problem. Granted, it’s not easy to provide energy
throughout such a far-flung province. Yet the ‘we all have to pay our way’ response given by hydro and government officials to the complaints rings rather hollow when one looks at how much money so many people earn to bring us that power. It’s hard to determine just how many Ontario Power Generation and Hydro One employees make over $100,000, unless you’re patient and meticulous. A glance through the sunshine list pages indicates more than 12,000 OPG employees and at least 4,000 from Hydro One. Leading the way is OPG CEO Tom Mitchell, who was paid $1.71 million last year. I imagine he can afford to pay his hydro bill, no matter how much it increased. New Hydro One president, Carmine Marcello, who recently wrote public letters urging customers to be patient, made $728, 570 and his predecessor Laura Formosa $159,500 in 2013. The executives are probably effective and maybe even empathetic administrators. But that’s cold comfort to those struggling to pay their hydro bills while knowing their hardearned dollars are helping fund salaries at a level they will never come close to earning. Protesters will be raising several issues at Friday’s hydro rallies. The obscene wage gap between many of those who provide the service and most users should be front and centre.

Conservatives claim they are improving veterans lot shameful
Support the daffodil campaign
To the editor: Earlier this year, there was a flurry of news items about the federal government shutting down over 10 per cent of its Veterans Affairs offices. You may even remember Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino treating a group of veterans with an appalling degree of rudeness and disrespect when they were scheduled to meet with him on the issue. Except, of course, the Conservatives are hoping you don’t. In fact, they are counting on it. How else to explain MP Cheryl Gallant’s recent mail-out trumpeting the joyous news that veterans now enjoy over 600 ‘points of service’ for their dealings with government? Never mind that these exciting new points of service are nothing more than existing Service Canada outlets, already understaffed and unable to effectively serve their areas. Never mind that instead of having instant ac-

cess to dedicated professionals intimately familiar with the ins-and-outs of each client’s case, veterans are now expected to wait in line for God knows how long in order to speak with someone who has no clue who they are or how to handle their questions. Why, if the feds only had the foresight to stuff a pile of forms behind the counter of every McDonalds in the country, they could be proudly announcing thousands of points of service! The gall of MP Cheryl Gallant and her fellow Conservatives simply boggles the mind. They not only expect Canadians to approve of this reduction in the scope and quality of services for veterans, they are actually trying to spin it as a great achievement. What’s next for the Conservatives and their friends?

Ministry of Natural Resources on alert to warn residents if flooding occurs To the editor: This has been a particularly cold winter with signiďŹ cant snowfall in many parts of the province. With the ofďŹ cial arrival of spring and warming temperatures, the risk of ooding increases. I would like to let you know how my ministry responds to ooding and how ministry staff can help during ood season. The Ministry of Natural Resources is responsible for ood forecasting and warning at the provincial level in Ontario. We work closely with the province’s 36 conservation authorities and Environment Canada to forecast when and where ooding is likely to occur.
The ministry and conservation authorities monitor watershed and weather conditions to predict water levels and ows, and issue ood messages. Flood messages help municipalities notify the public of developing unsafe river and lake conditions and advise them to take precautions. In areas where conservation authorities do not exist, MNR District ofďŹ ces provide ood information to local municipalities and the media. Local governments are then responsible for communicating messages to the public and for ďŹ rst-line emergency response. The ministry’s Surface Water Monitoring Centre monitors ood
conditions 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is able to contact MNR District OfďŹ ces and conservation authorities immediately with updates. When the risk of ooding is high, the Surface Water Monitoring Centre issues ood messages to the appropriate conservation authorities and MNR District ofďŹ ces by email, fax and, if after hours, by phone. This information is also shared with partners and key stakeholders, such as Ontario Power Generation, CN-CP Rail, the Ministry of Transportation, the OfďŹ ce of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management, and isolated First Nation communities. The ministry’s Emergency Man-
agement network is also activated when required. The ministry has regular daily contact with the OfďŹ ce of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management about current conditions and ood potential. To see the ministry’s current ood messages, go to www.ontario.ca/ ooding. The ministry is making every effort to keep the people of Ontario informed, to provide reliable and immediate updates and to limit the effects of ooding as much as possible.
Brave warriors home at last To the editor: Today, our guys and gals are ďŹ nally home from Afghanistan. God bless them, and their anxious families all. Thank you brave warriors. Safe home yee be now, rest, rest and relax. Stay, and may yee never be, called no more. H. Wm Tuck Goshen

Today, there are a total of 267 in both modes, including houses, apartments, farms and 66 freestanding and in-home businesses. A local school, radio station and a leather business are among the customers. The post office is currently open Monday to Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon. McNab-Braeside council recently issued a letter of support for a request from the post office to realign the hours to 35. “This could be interpreted as the beginning of the end or affecting the Burnstown Post Office to a point where it’s not viable,” said McNab-Braeside Mayor Mary Campbell. “The suggestion is the hours be realigned to 35. Cus-
tomers have asked for early in the morning and late in the evening from 8 a.m.-noon weekdays and 3-6 p.m. so that people going home can make use of the service.” The Burnstown WI is organizing a letter writing campaign asking Canada Post to reconsider their plans to reduce hours. “We’re concerned with the cutback in hours and what it’s doing to our rural community,” said WI member Helen Gunn. People who don’t have a box at their house pay to have a mailbox at the post office. “There are lots of people going in and out of Ottawa,” said Gunn. “If they can’t get access they’re going to lose the revenue.” The cuts in hours are likely to hurt the small business people running local post offices, who are often women. “This is a concern we have as a women’s institute,” said Gunn. A job as all-encompassing as managing a post office makes it difficult to have another job to supplement a reduced income. “They’re cutting back their hours and their pay and
they’re still stuck into the job and can’t go off and do something else because they’re restricted,” she said. “It’s the lowest woman on the totem pole taking the brunt of these cuts when some of these executives are making zeroes and zeroes and zeroes.” Gunn suggested there are other ways Canada Post could save money. “Some of the executive salaries at Canada post are absolutely ridiculous,” she said. “They need to be looking at some of these positions.” Other post offices potentially affected are Douglas, Foresters Falls and Round Lake. Admaston-Bromley council members have expressed concerns about possible changes to hours at the Douglas post office. The WI’s campaign asks supporters to express their opinion. “Please contact your MP, your MLA, the federal minister responsible for Canada Post, Lisa Raitt, and Canada Post Corporation at 1-800267-1177 and insist that they stop the steady erosion of our Canadian postal service,” says a press release.
Season Runs April 23th-July 12th
MCNAB/BRAESIDE The transmission structures and conductors along Circuit C25H have reached their end-of-life and this work is essential to ensure the safe and reliable supply of electricity to the surrounding area. The work will involve refurbishing support structures where required, as well as cleaning, removing rust, coating and replacing steel components as needed. This project falls within the screening process as described under Hydro One’s Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for Minor Transmission Facilities, in accordance with the provincial Environmental Assessment Act. The Class EA for Minor Transmission Facilities is a document developed by the former Ontario Hydro as a streamlined process to ensure that minor transmission projects that have a predictable range of effects are planned and carried out in an environmentally acceptable manner. All work will be carried out within the existing transmission corridor and access to work areas will be made through existing roads/trails or along the transmission line corridor. This work is scheduled to begin in April 2014 and will be compled by Fall 2015. Upon completion, there will be no change in the appearance of this transmission line. If you have any questions regarding this work, please contact: Dana Gardner Community Relations Toll Free: 1-877-345-6799 Email: Community.Relations@HydroOne.com

The harbingers of Spring are back Lifestyle - Environment Canada’s David Phillips has said that weather is our most popular topic. He is right, and this past month’s frigid temperatures and blowing snow had us talking about it, perhaps even thinking our calendars had been misprinted. People also talked about a paucity of birds. By midMarch flocks of grackles usually swirl through backyards. And soon after the calendar page flips over to March, Redwinged Blackbirds sing from cattail stalks and roadside fences. But until very recently those birds were absent. Only now are Red-winged Blackbirds filtering back to our area. Few birds have been thought of as harbingers of spring more than Red-winged Blackbirds. With jet-black
Michael Runtz Nature’s Way bodies and blazing red epaulettes, they are easy birds to recognize, and their animated behaviour makes them easy to see. Perched high atop cattails, leafless bushes, and telephone wires, they spread open their wings and scream out their familiar raucous song: “oak-ah-
reeee.” But not all Red-winged Blackbirds are this recognizable. Females look more like giant sparrows, sporting dark brown feathers and a heavily streaked breast. And they tend to be more cryptic, spending time lurking in cattails. Most people only recognize male Red-winged Blackbirds because that is all they see when that species first returns to our area. The females don’t arrive for at least a week to 10 days after the males return. So why do females return so much later? The answer is simple: they have nothing to gain by coming back early. When males first return, the conditions are still tough. Only later are frozen marshes fully thawed and food plentiful. The females play it smart, returning when food is better guaranteed and the weather is more stable.

But why then do males return so early? They do so for good reason. The first to return are the first to lay claim to a piece of real estate, preferably a part of a cattail marsh. Once a territory is chosen, song and display serve notice that it is occupied, and a close watch is kept for intruders, which are vigorously driven away. Ownership of a resourcerich piece of habitat has great rewards for a male. When the females finally return, they wander around listening to the males’ proclamations of love and inspecting their holdings. A good singer owning a rich territory is rewarded with not just one willing female; Red-winged Blackbirds are polygynous birds and males can have half a dozen or more females in their harem. Why do multiple females nest in one male’s domain? They likely benefit from safety in numbers. With other blackbird nests near theirs, if a predator strikes the odds are better that their eggs or babies remain unscathed. Studies have revealed that females aren’t always faithful

Male Red-winged Blackbirds are declaring that spring is officially here.\ to their males. It seems many have discreet rendezvous with the male next door, producing a clutch of eggs that is partly or even all his doing. By nesting in a resourcerich territory held by one
male and receiving better genes from his good-looking neighbour, clever females apparently gain the best of two worlds! The Nature Number is 613387-2503; email is mruntz@ start.ca.

Accolades for retiring engineering director Dave Darch Steve Newman steven.newman@metroland.com
News - Dave Darch of Foymount took some gentle ribbing, but he mostly received accolades for the last seven years he spent as the Renfrew County engineering director. At the March 26 session of county council, Darch said those final years were among the best of his 46-year career that was spent mostly in public works. “We’ve all gained respect for him because he’s done a very credible and actually incredible job balancing his work and personal life,” said Warden Peter Emon with Darch’s wife, JoAnne Poirier, in the council chambers. “It wasn’t difficult to support Dave, because he’s been wonderfully supportive of me,” said Poirier after receiving a bouquet of flowers from council staff. “He has thoroughly enjoyed his seven years at the county, and I want to thank all of you for your support. “I’m (also) very happy that I was here (today) for the asset-management presentation because Dave talks about it at home all the time. To actually see it manifest itself in a result, and have it so well supported, is very gratifying.” Operations committee chairman Walter Stack of Arnprior also commented on Darch’s contributions. “Dave has certainly given 100 per cent. It has been a real learning experience for me, because I certainly didn’t know anything about roads and culverts and bridges,” said Stack. “He has been a real team player who has worked outside his department, with the asset management report. He has taken the lead in a

Warden Emon complimented Darch for his constructive guidance for county officials in two important areas. He said Darch provided structure for the county’s 150th-anniversary celebrations in 2011 and “recast our relationship with the Province” in lobbying for Hwy. 417 improvements and expansion. “It could have been a very dangerous and ad-
versarial relationship, and your efforts to recast that, I think, has heightened the respect for our input that was received by the Province.” County chief administrative officer Jim Hutton also weighed in with comments. “His dedication is really what impressed me … He’s very enthusiastic and a team player,” said Hutton, noting Darch agreed to remain on the job an extra three months to facilitate completion of important work and transition to his successor. As going-away presentations, Darch received a Darch Road street sign, a Renfrew County plaque of appreciation, and golf shirts for himself and his wife. After thanking several county personnel that he worked with, Darch said he leaves the county with mixed emotions. “The county has been just superb. It’s been a real rewarding experience for me.” After 46 years in the workplace, Darch said, “I can say without a doubt that my seven years at the county have been among my most rewarding years. And I really have a lot of people to thank for that.” His thank-yous included ones for council members and their willingness to discuss issues. One councillor he singled out was operations committee chairman Stack. “Walter’s not a shy, retiring person. He tells it like it is, but I really appreciate that,” said Darch. In wrapping up, he started to say that he would be remiss if he didn’t acknowledge his wife. However, the emotional Darch couldn’t finish the sentence, before turning to her and saying, “I love you.”

County concerned over new elements of Provincial Policy Statement Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com
News - Renfrew County staff and councillors have expressed big concerns with the new Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) that comes into effect April 30. The county will report on the implications of the document to the development and property committee and county council later this month, after attending an April 1 information session in Perth. However, the early signs are that the 2014 PPS is doing few favours for Renfrew County and other rural jurisdictions. At the March 26 meeting of county council, development and property director Paul Moreau was among county staff or elected officials who said they’re concerned about the content of the new PPS.
The document “makes us nervous on several fronts,” said Moreau, noting he wouldn’t say too much until he and other staff attend the April 1 session and prepare a response for the April 15 meeting of the county’s development and property committee. Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon called the document “quite frightening.” CAO Jim Hutton said it represented a tightening of the screws, and continuation of Ontario’s rural-urban divide. Arnprior Reeve Walter Stack said the government’s only going to continue “to tighten the screws as long as we let them.” Bonnechere Valley Mayor Jennifer Murphy wondered what the danger was if the county disregarded the new policies and told the government to shove it. “I’m sick of this,” she said. “At one point do we as a county stand up … Are they going to
put us in Provincial Policy Statement jail?” Ignoring the PPS changes could result in full-fledged enforcement of the PPS without negotiation, responded Warden Emon. Moreau said the Province does exercise some leverage over the county, since it has given the county approval authority over Official Plans for the county’s 17-member municipalities. “To some degree, that does allow us to manage our destiny, but they can take that away if we’re not conforming,” said Moreau. Upon more questioning, after the county council meeting, Moreau said areas of concern in the new PPS include: • severance policy, • policies affecting the definition of potential settlement area, • integration of the PPS within the Endangered Species Act and lack of clarity regarding
how that integration will occur, • and policies for identifying such land features as forested lands and natural hazards (such as karsts). “Unfortunately,” said Moreau, “I believe the new PPS will cost landowners significantly more money to have a severance because they’re going to need to undertake more studies. “It’s restraining, it’s restrictive, given that in Renfrew County we have 50 per cent Crown Land, of which 70 per cent has tree cover. “Now the PPS will impose restrictions on land owners to maintain forest cover on private land.” He acknowledged there are some good changes to the Provincial Policy Statement, such as recreational uses of land, and resourcebased land uses for forestry, mining and aggregate.
National anthem woes for county council Copper pipes stolen from work site Steve Newman Steve.newman@metroland.com
News - Monthly Renfrew County council meetings get underway with a prayer and the singing of the national anthem. That was the case again, on March 26, with the continued help of on-screen lyrics and a new musical recording that
left something to be desired. The singing effort by staff and councillors was off-key and more unco-ordinated than usual. “It didn’t go as well as it could have,” admitted Warden Peter Emon. Given the county’s abundance of musical talent, county councillor Harold Weckworth of North Algona Wilberforce later suggested a different
musical group be brought in each month to sing the anthem along with members of county council. Warden Peter Emon said his suggestion would be considered. Whatever approach is taken, Emon said the county will return to the monthly projection of a photo from each municipality during the playing of the anthem.
News – Thefts continue to be a problem in McNab-Braeside and Arnprior, report OPP. A building that was undergoing renovations on Usborne Street in McNab-Braeside was entered and a quantity of copper pipes was stolen on the weekend of March 22-24. OPP Constable George Mikhael is investigating. Thefts from vehicles are continuing in Arnprior. One victim reported keys were stolen from an unlocked vehicle, while another
reported a booster pack stolen. OPP have again reminded motorists to remove valuables and lock their vehicles when not in use. An adult sized tricycle was stolen from a driveway on Caruso Street in Arnprior. OPP say there are no suspects, but OPP Constable Tony Gardiner is investigating. The calls were among 177 responded to by the Arnprior-Renfrew Detachment of the OPP last week. Included were 10 domestic disputes.

Ida street automotive shop changes hands Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com
News – There’s a new kid in town at the automotive shop on Ida Street in Arnprior. Arnprior Automotive is now Tom’s Auto and Tom Machin and Melissa Meek are the proud new owners. The couple took over the business March 1 and both are excited about the new venture. Machin, a licensed mechanic, will do the automotive repairs and maintenance and Meek will look after the busi-
ness side of the company. The parents of two young children say they hope Tom’s Auto will become a strong community supporter, as well. “We’re looking forward to getting really involved in the community,” said Meek. “We’d like to support the community as much as we can.” Tom and Melissa took over the automotive end of the existing business from Doug MacIntyre, who has been a big help in getting them settled. MacIntyre will continue to run the trailer sales and repairs
part of the business on a building in the same lot. Trailer hitch sales and installation are also part of MacIntyre’s services. “I would like to thank all of my customers over the years for their support and loyalty,” said MacIntyre. He invited existing customers to come to Tom and Melissa for future automotive needs. Call Tom’s Auto at 613623-0900, email tomsauto@ live.com or on Facebook tomsauto2014.
News - Renfrew County is looking for 20 young student entrepreneurs. 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. Funded by the Ontario Government, the Summer Company program is being expanded under the Youth Jobs Strategy to help more young people start their own business. The program is available to students between the ages of 15 and 29, who are in school and returning to school in the fall, to start and operate their own business throughout the summer months. Successful applicants can receive up to $1,500 for business start-up costs and additionally, upon successful completion of the program, they can receive another award of up to $1,500. Summer Company 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 mean-
ingful 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.” 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 14 years, and helped nine students last year with starting up a business. Applications to the Summer Company Program are due by May 23. 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.

WZPS one of winners in Eastern Ontario Destination Imagination tournament Lucy Hass lucy.hass@metroland.com
News - A team from Walter Zadow was one of the big winners when students from across Renfrew County participated in a Destination Imagination Eastern Ontario Tournament at Renfrew Collegiate Institute recently. The event, which is growing in popularity throughout North America, is designed to encourage creativity in problem solving. The Walter Zadow students were among 130 in 22 teams who participated in the event. The Strikers team was tops in the Improvisational category in the elementary grades 3 to 5 category. The team was made up of students Kayla Munro, Alexa Lesway, Hannah Raudssus, Lindsay Gillan, Lisa McCombe, Liam Gillett, and Owen McMaster, with Justin Halpenny being the parent coach. For winning the contest they won the right to go to Toronto last weekend for the provincial tournament. Regional director Doug Hunter, who joined the Destination Imagination team when he retired almost three years ago, sung the praises of the program. “I’m so impressed and passionate about this,� he said,
noting the program’s tremendous volunteer support and the fact that 40 per cent of the team managers are parents. He said there was also great support from both local school boards, plus the County of Renfrew who was represented at the morning opening ceremonies by Warden Peter Emon. The tournament has grown in popularity, largely by word of mouth, as it teaches young people to be innovative and creative in ďŹ nding solutions. The tournament also places focus on appraisal, not judgement, with ‘praise’ a key part of the evaluation process. In one competition, to solve their challenge teams had to build a structure made entirely from wood, glue and/or monoďŹ lament ďŹ shing line. The team had to test the structure’s strength under stress from two sources and create and present a story in which tension was a threat to stability and was overcome. Each challenge presented its own unique learning opportunities. Following are the winners of this area’s competition with the top-three ďŹ nishers advancing to compete in Toronto. Elementary Grades 3-5: ScientiďŹ c: 1st, St. John Bosco, Barry’s Bay, Deadly Dinosaurs.
Improvisational: 1st, Walter Zadow, Arnprior, The Strikers; 2nd, Our Lady of Lourdes, Pembroke, Dinosaurs. Structural: 1st, Queen Elizabeth, Renfrew, Queen Elizabeth Crushers; 2nd, Our Lady of Fatima, Renfrew, With A Chance of Meatballs. Middle level Grades 6-8: Technical: 1st, Our Lady of Grace, Westmeath, Koolaid Jammers. ScientiďŹ c: 1st, Palmer Rapids, D Eye on the Prize. Fine Arts: 1st, St. Gregory’s, Ottawa, The 7-Ups; 2nd (tie) St. John Bosco, Barry’s Bay, Fast N Furious and St. Gregory’s, Ottawa, DI-Scream; 3rd, St. Mary’s, Deep River, The Avengerettes. Improvisational: 1st, St. Anthony’s, Chalk River, St. Anthony’s Knights; 2nd Beachburg Public School, Do or DI; 3rd, St. Mary’s, Deep River, The Pow Wows; 4th, Our Lady of Lourdes, Pembroke, Rainbow Bullets. Structural: 1st, Beachburg Public School, Beachburg, There’s No I in DI; 2nd, St. Mary’s, Deep River, The Dream Team; 3rd, Queen Elizabeth, Renfrew, QEPS Eagles; 4th, Cathedral, Pembroke, Jon and the Buildettes. The Rising Stars were from Our Lady of Grace in Westmeath with Rockin’ Fish, and St. Anthony’s Rising Stars from Chalk River.

Storyteller singer to perform at Arnprior library April 11 Lifestyle – Judith Poirier is one of those very special storytellers who sings as beautifully as she tells. In a new show coming to Arnprior Friday, April 11, she will share with her audiences the stories of her family and her growing up, illuminating them with captivating renditions of songs that have been an integral part of her living. World Where Am I: A Joyful Journey of SelfDiscovery is coming to the Arnprior Library at 7:30 p.m. It follows up on 2 women productions’ well-attended Tristan and Iseult earlier this year at the library. While she is exploring issues of personal history that are universal in their application, her piece is still firmly based in the rich soil of her French Canadian heritage and in the vibrant neighborhoods of Montreal, a city which is in every way, her city. In talking about her new work Poirier says: “Sometimes when I look back, I see my life as a series of journeys taken through and around Montreal, my true and abiding home. “Each journey is marked by how I travel. Sometimes I am walking, sometimes it’s the train, sometimes the bus, but always I am moving, exploring, becoming the woman I am now, an activist, a lesbian, a storyteller who sings. I am seeking always the joy, the vividness of being alive.” While French is Poirier’s first language, her career as a performance teller began in English. She has performed across the country from Newfoundland to the Yukon as well as perform-
ing in her native Quebec. When she tells in English, as she will do on this tour, the rhythms and cadences of her beloved Quebecois language are still very evident, an integral part of how compelling her performances are and how she is able to take her audiences deeply into the cultural life of French Canada. Poirier is a teller who is beloved across the country both because she has been a driving force in supporting the growth of storytelling in Quebec and across Canada as a whole and because her style is so particular; warm, engaging filled with humour and depth, a style just right for reminding us how good life can be in spite of its ever-present challenges. 2 women productions, which is dedicated to bringing a diversity of fine adult performance storytelling to communities in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec, is delighted to be finishing out the season with this very special show that will offer audiences an intimate and compelling journey through the story-soaked streets of Montreal as seen through the eyes of a woman who is filled with a hunger to live life to the fullest. For more information, visit www.2wp.ca or contact Jennifer Cayley at jcayley@magma.ca or 613-256-0353. The tickets for the April 11 Arnprior performance cost $18 in advance, $20 at the door $20 and $10 for under-25 and underemployed people. Tickets in advance are available online at www.ticketsplease.ca or in person at the Arnprior Public Library.

Hockey for hearts Olde Tyme Hockey’s goalie manages to stop the puck against the Pirie Insulation during the fifth-annual Arnprior Hockey for Heart Tournament on March 22. The Pirie took the game 4-2. The Arnpriorbased Hitmen team had the tournament’s best record, winning three straight. The annual fundraiser, which took place at the Nick Smith Centre, raised $9,600 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Research advances continue to grow”
Sports - Calabogie Peaks was the site for the U16 Ontario Alpine Provincials March 12-15. This prestigious event brought together the best racers from all over Ontario. To compete in Provincials, the athletes must first qualify within their regional division. Racers who finish in the top-20 in two races may then move on to CanAms, which gather the top-20 athletes from each province and some American states. Calabogie Ski Racing Club (CSRC) was honoured to have been chosen to host this important occasion. A shout-out must go to the club’s crew of dedicated volunteers, without whom the race could not have happened. Spectators enjoyed watching these highly competitive, skilled skiers compete. There was no shortage of thrills and spills on the hill – it was a mini-Olympics. CSRC’s representatives included Alex Duff of Pembroke, Connor Maclean of Manotick, Travis Reid of Kingston, Aylen Ferguson of Carp, Jenna Wissing of Kanata and Grace Gaffney of Deep River.
They competed in Super G, giant slalom and slalom races and their hard work made Calabogie proud. Alex Duff cracked the top 20 with a 19th-place finish in the Super G, and capped off his weekend with a seventh in slalom, which qualified him to attend the CanAms at Mont Tremblant March 20-23. Connor Maclean finished two beautiful slalom runs on a course that many failed to complete, and found himself in 50th. Travis Reid skied to a respectable 58th in giant slalom. Aylen Ferguson achieved her personal goals when she placed 21st in GS and 25th in slalom. Jenna Wissing placed 38th in the GS and Grace Gaffney was right behind in 40th. All told, it was an excellent experience for the U16s. The U16s also competed at their regional championships March 8-9. More personal bests were achieved as Aylen, Grace, and Jenna were sixth, 11th, and 12th in the slalom. Alex came fifth in the GS, and Travis and Connor skied to 13th and 21st. The season will end with a dual slalom at Calabogie Peaks April 5.

Sports - The Nick Smith Centre was on fire as figure skaters and hockey players battled it out on the ice on Saturday, March 22. Local Junior B players and
senior Arnprior Figure Skating Club members had three days to perfect their on-ice routines for the Battle of the Blades. Twelve pairs put their skating chops to the test, performing in front of the packed stadiums and three celebrity judges – Stephanie Wallace,
Glenn Arthur and Jay Koch – who critiqued each routine. The evening, which included performances by Arnprior High School’s Red Velvet, the Arnprior School of Dance and Courtenay Simmonds, raised funds for the figure skating club.
Katie McCombe and Zac Somerville perform during the second-half of the Battle of the Blades event.

Packers win juvenile hockey championship
Sports - The Valley Division champion Almonte Thunder’s 2013-14 run has come to an end, but not without a battle. The Ottawa West Golden Knights blanked the Thunder 3-0 in Almonte Saturday to claim the Metro-Valley final in six games. Ottawa West will now take on the Casselman Vikings for the East-
ern Ontario Junior Hockey League championship. That series starts tonight (Thursday) at the Barbara Ann Scott Arena in Ottawa. Former Packer Ethan Allard led Ottawa West in the six-game series with seven goals and another ex-Packer Darrin Lehoux paced the team with nine assists.

Exactly two minutes later, Joe Gray scored with an assist by Mitch Crozier. Both teams acquitted themselves exceptionally well with commentators saying that the Packers played a tight team effort while Osgoode tried to do it on an individual basis. The 2013-2014 season ended with some of the best hockey that the Valley has seen in many years. Coaches Tyler Baskin and Tyler
Craig are looking forward to next season even though many of their standout players are unable to return. Arnprior has fostered some of the best 16- and 17-year-old players in Ontario and they are ready to step up to the Juvenile Packers. “We had a great year thanks to our local sponsors, Sullivan construction, Rona Hardware and McEwan Homes and the strong support of our fans,” said team manager Doug Heeney. “Thank you.”

Sports - The Arnprior Packers capped off a wonderful season last Friday by winning this area’s juvenile hockey title. The Juvenile Packers won game three of their final series against the Osgoode Rideau Senators 8-2 at the Nick Smith Centre giving them the well-earned championship. Lightning Boden Zvonarich began the scoring for the Packers in the first period with a power-play goal assisted by Curtis Watson. Just 30 seconds later Liam Rousseau scored another power-play goal assisted by Lance Laventure and Mitch Crozier. Chad Brennan scored Arnprior’s third goal with assists from Brandon Lafreniere and Jake Dunn who scooped the puck from a hard-charging Osgoode forward to turn around the play. Mitch Crozier scored the Packers fourth goal in the first period on a power play ending the first stanza 4-0 Arnprior. Osgoode came out hard charging in the second period and scored two goals, but penalties just kept holding them back. Casey Shipman and Lance Laventure responded

AMHA acclaims new president; is pressed to discuss surcharge Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com
MATT NAISMITH
Sports – A new president was selected but there remains no official response to the surcharge controversy Arnprior Minor Hockey Association finds itself embroiled in. At the March 26 annual general meeting, held at the Nick Smith Centre, the association acclaimed Matt Naismith president. Neither current president Jeff Letourneau nor anyone else put their name forward. Naismith is currently the initiation program director. Another 10 current directors were
also acclaimed, though the vice presidency, coach mentor, and training and development positions remain vacant. Letourneau was loath to discuss the surcharge issue, going so far as to mention off the top of the meeting that it wouldn’t happen. But during the question period the issue that has dogged it for many months was repeatedly broached. A surcharge has been levelled after McNab-Braeside township pulled out of the recreation services agreement with the Town of Arnprior. The question every hockey parent has is how much will be tacked onto enrollment next season now that the township re-

fuses to share costs from its general coffers. Letourneau said it was a complicated number to arrive at: besides the out-of-town fee increase, there’s a nine per cent price hike, a $14 per player jump for Hockey Eastern Ontario, and other considerations. However, as soon as it came to the profit and loss sheet handed out to the 15-member executive and two dozen parents in the hall, it was apparent the figures were not accurate. It showed the association enjoys a net income of $55,740. But that does not include ice rental money still owing for March. And it doesn’t include the $15,000 bill
the town has sent; the second of two surcharges. Peter Anas stood up to urge Letourneau and the rest of the executive to discuss the issue publicly at the nearest opportunity. He said there are many aspects to discuss, including why a non-profit would have a surplus in the first place. After the meeting Naismith, a strong proponent of a renewed service agreement and member of Residents for Reading and Recreation, said the surcharge will apply to township residents but that he would like to “keep it affordable so we don’t lose the out-oftowners.�

Gold medal in young Nordic skier’s first race Sherry Haaima sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Anna McMaster, 8, came away from her first Nordic skiing competition with a gold medal. go,” said Anna. “I like to race. Even if I get tired, I keep going as fast as I can go.” Getting the medal was a pleasant surprise for Anna. “I was proud that I won a medal. I wasn’t expecting first place, but I’m happy I won,” she said. “It just really matters that you try your best and go as fast as you can.” She recently brought her medal to school to show to her teachers and friends. What does she like about skiing? “I like learning new tricks in skiing like kick turns and I love being outside in the winter,” she said. “I like to ski with new friends that I meet at lessons. And I like the hot chocolate.”
And skiing is not the only extracurricular activity that keeps the exuberant Anna busy. She swims with the Arnprior Bluefish swim club, she stepdances and she’s a Brownie.
Anna and her brother Owen, who raced in the peewee boys level.
FAMILY FUN
Skiing is a family affair for the McMasters. “Everyone in our family is member of the Kanata Nordic ski club,” said her mom Rhonda McMaster. They ski out of the YMCA Bonnenfant centre, with Anna and her two siblings taking a two-hour lesson once a week. She and her husband Joe recom-
mend the sport and say it’s a great family activity that many people haven’t considered. “I think it’s a great option,” said Rhonda. The McMasters ski on their own Braeside property and say the trails at Fitzroy Provincial Park provide a great venue for the sport as well. “The groomed trails are beautiful at Fitzroy Provincial Park. A family
pass is very reasonable or you can pay per ski,” she said. This year’s Olympics in Sochi, Russia, only heightened the family’s interest in skiing. “Cross country skiing is not what some people think it is,” said Rhonda. “The Olympics were going on and you can see just how much athletic endurance skiers need.”

Sports – It was her first competitive race and the result couldn’t have been any better. Anna McMaster won the gold medal for her first-place finish in the Atom Girls A Final of the Kanata Nordic Sprint Race (aka Pretzel Race) held in Kanata on Feb. 23. She skate skied with strong results in heats throughout the day on a 0.4km loop. Racers of all ages from four ski clubs, in addition to Kanata Nordic, including Pembroke Nordic, Skinouk, Nakkertok, and Chelsea Nordic, participated in the full-day cross-country event. The eight-year-old A.J. Charbonneau Public School student has been cross country skiing since she was four years old. “Anna approaches skiing with joy, energy, and determination,” said mom Rhonda. “On the last day of lessons this year, an assistant coach told me she finds her refreshing, which is exactly the way we think of her.” Anna is learning how to classic track ski as well as skate ski, where the skis are a bit shorter and can be used in a similar motion to skating. This was Anna’s first competitive race and her parents say she was ecstatic with the result. “She’s just enthusiastic about everything,” said Rhonda. The preliminary race included atom boys and girls together and Anna was the only girl fast enough to go into the finals with the boys. “When I was racing I was thinking about catching up with the racers in front of me. When I skate ski, I bend my knees down really low. I push my legs as far out to the sides as they will

Sports - The never-say-die Arnprior Novice Packers completed a dream season by winning a thrilling final playoff series with Pembroke. The Packers finished in second place in the regular season with a record of 13 wins, 4 losses and 3 ties. The team had a first-round bye in the playoffs and was able to get by Muskrat in the second round in a hard fought three-game semi-final series. The final series was a match-up with the firstplace Pembroke Kings who only lost one game in the regular season. The Packers gave a gutsy effort in game one as they were down to three defencemen but came up short by a score of 5-2. Game two was played in Arnprior in front of a packed arena and the Packers came away with a 3-1 victory in a fast-paced, back-and-forth game. The deciding game three was played in Pembroke and didn’t start well for the Packers, as they spotted Pembroke a 4-0 lead by early in the second period. The Packers never gave up and turned the momentum in the second period with three goals in rapid succession to close the gap to 4-3. Early in the third period, the Packers tied the game on a goal by Connor Clattenburg. With five minutes to go, the Packers took the lead on an rush by Dean Letourneau. The final five minutes were hectic, but great play by goalie David Toner and hard checking by the defense and forwards secured the victory for Arnprior. The coaches and parents are very proud of all the players for giving it their all and not giving up when they were down 4-0.

Teen Ontario East Pageant Sunday Community - An Arnprior teenager is one of 21 ‘delegates competing to be the new Miss Teen Ontario East this weekend. Cassidy Whitelock is being sponsored by Rath Farm Equipment. A full weekend of activities will conclude with the actual Pageant this Sunday, April 6 in Renfrew. The public is welcome at the Pageant at 7 p.m. at the Renfrew Recreation Centre. Cassidy is 16 years old and attends Arnprior District High School. In her introduction, she said, “I am an active student involved in every school band including choir as well as the varsity girls fall and spring rugby team. “I have also danced since I was three years old and even taught for a year. I have also sang in the town of Arnprior since I was nine years old. “This is my second year competing in the Miss Teen Ontario East Pageant. I had such an amazing and positive experience last year, I had no choice but to come back. “The memories I made last year as well as the ones I’m sure I’ll make this year will last me my entire life time. “I would absolutely recommend all young girls who can join to do so. It gave me more courage to go on stage and put myself out there as well as the opportunity to give back to my community. I am extremely excited to be back this year.” Other Pageant ‘delegates’ come from through Eastern Ontario, including Carleton Place, Kingston, Cornwall, Odessa, Ottawa, Renfrew, Douglas, Cobden and Barry’s Bay. Main organizer Patti Dillabough stressed that althoug the pageant has been held in Renfrew for several years, it is a regional event encompassing the entire Eastern Ontario area. It also has a heavy focus on charity, she added. “The pageant organization is unique because it is comprised

solely of volunteers and any proceeds from the pageant production are donated directly to a childhood cancer charity,” she explained. The Teen Ontario East Pageant is a recognized fundraising and awareness event for childhood cancer and is a qualifying regional pageant to the Miss Teenage Canada (formerly Miss Teen Canada World) pageant held annually in Toronto. CHARITY WORK
Over the past few years, the Teen Ontario East Pageant (MTOE) and its titleholders have received formal recognition for their childhood cancer awareness campaigns and for making a difference in the lives of kids with cancer. Every year, the Teen Ontario East delegates are introduced to childhood cancer champions, have the opportunity to get involved with various childhood cancer charities and ultimately understand the passion and the objective of the MTOE organization. The 21 delegates were schedlued to arrive in Renfrew today (Thursday). They will partake in a variety of workshops, preliminary competitions, charity events and rehearsals in addition to having some rather entertaining dele-
gate activities – all leading up to Sunday’s pageant production. Tickets for the event cost $15 each and are available at Keeping Company, J&J Chocolate Sensations, Dahl’s Convenience and the Renfrew Recreation Centre. Dillabough said a quote from American author Leo Buscaglia lies at the heart of the pageant. ACT OF CARING
He said, “Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” The Teen Ontario East Pageant Organization has adapted the quote as the basis of the organization’s direction and the focus of the titleholders. It is the directive of the MTOE group to give young women in this region an opportunity to do something unique and memorable, while introducing them to an important cause that benefits from their time and efforts. The opportunity to participate in a pageant is a memorable experience for a young woman, and the opportunity to incorporate a charity/volunteer flavour is a “unique and personally fulfilling achievement.” MTOE is proud to associate its organization with a variety of childhood cancer charity foundations and to do their best to raise awareness for childhood cancer and the charities that assist those children and families affected by this dreaded disease, Dillabough said. Although childhood cancer

awareness is the official organization platform, the MTOE titleholders are introduced to a variety of charities within the region and assist them at events and provide fundraising assistance throughout their year of reign. Sonya Bergin, Miss Teen Ontario East 2013, will be handing over her title on April 6 to one of the 21 2014 delegates. The St. Joseph’s High School student will then take on the regional national title of Miss Teenage Eastern Ontario. She will represent the pageant and region at the 2014 Miss Teenage Canada Pageant in July. Sunday’s pageant in Renfrew will be hosted by Jason Smith, Miss Teen Ontario East 2011 Hillary MacMillan and Miss Teen Ontario East 2012 Gracie Stewart. Entertainment will be provided by the 2014 delegates and Bergin. Bergin, along with 2013 first runner-up Saralyn Deslaurier and second runner-up Tianna Tettemer, will be on hand throughout pageant weekend to give support and encouragement to the 2014 Teen Ontario East delegates.

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Ottawa author of The Caregiverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Companion will present workshops at the Arnprior Library and the Galilee Centre next week. Judith Campbell will present Meditation and Relaxation at the Parkinson Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eastern Ontario gathering at the library Saturday, April 12 from 7 to p.m. She will follow that up with a presentation entitled the Grit and Grace of Caregiving as part of Galileeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s What Matters series Sunday, April 13 from 10 a.m. to noon. How do you keep a caregiver healthy? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the last thing a caregiver thinks about and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s borne out by the all-too-common incidence of burn-out. Today, nearly eight million Canadians fulfill the role of caregiver. And as health budgets become stretched, the role of the caregivers is growing. Caregivers have a truly daunting and often exhausting task in navigating the health care labyrinth to get the proper medical and physical care for their loved one - just one of the many challenges they will face in the days, weeks, months, and in some cases, years ahead. When does the support process begin for a caregiver? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Usually, it is a long and sometimes challenging journey that precedes becoming a family caregiver ... a journey not necessarily marked in time or education, but rather a journey that is filled with various stages of raw emotion such as loss, disbelief, anger, disappointment, fear, sadness, and more,â&#x20AC;? says Campbell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a journey of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;learn as
you goâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cope or caveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.â&#x20AC;? The reality is at some point in our life we will either provide care or be cared for by someone else, she notes. Campbellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Caregiverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Companion, distributed by Valley firm General Store Publishing House, can lighten the journey for both the caregiver and those in need of care. She has written the book to help caregivers find balance in their lives and â&#x20AC;&#x153;stillness in the centre of their being.â&#x20AC;? It is from this place of inner stillness that you become a healing presence to those in your care and enter a new and gratifying dimension of caregiving, she says. Campbell maintains that research has shown that a caregiverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inner experience of positive energy is transmittable to the person in his or her charge. The person in receipt of care, therefore, either feels the way a caregiver delivers care as a gift or a burden. It is Campbellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intent that the offering of care be both given and received as a gift that is further exchanged back and forth between caregiver and care receiver, lightening the load for each. She describes the caregiver experience as a journey in which the caregiver and the care receiver merge for a time, on their individual journeys, to become one on a common path. With the number of family caregivers in Canada soaring to nearly eight million (about 44 million in U.S.), it is critical that the caregiving experience be examined in this way with the potential reward of experiencing

Books for youth series at Arnprior Book Shop Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Multi-talented Ottawa author Georgina Bartos has two exciting new books for young people at the Arnprior Book Shop. Rosemaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ottawa and Beyond and Rosemary and the Tree of Trees are the first two books in a series, with the third to be out soon. Bartos is a naturalist, pianist, violinist, music teacher, portrait painter, wildlife artist, nurse, poet and outdoor survival enthusiast. She tells stories in schools, using puppets and music. Rosemary Cantley may live in a future where communications and travel technology are highly advanced, but this feisty 11-year-old and her friends confront timeless concerns that
SUBMITTED
resonate with her readers: bullying, self-esteem, decision-making, priorities, relationships and the environment. In a mixture of sci-fi, fantasy and adventure, Bartos heightens reality in a magical way. The stories leave the reader with
characters they love and images they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget. Rosemary and her friends, family and classmates have strengths, weaknesses and foibles that make you want them to move in next door so you can know them better. Her animal characters can only be described as delightful. The stories resemble Native legends that teach and record ageless wisdom. Though Bartosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books have a unique magic-realist quality, their spiritual quality is also reminiscent of the Narnia series. Bartos has been writing since she could hold a crayon and a pencil and had her first play performed at age 11. Writing and illustrating the first two
Rosemary adventures is her first experience with novel-length stories. Bartos writes with visual intensity and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waste a word. Read the books slowly, take your time, and enjoy the imagery. The books are written for pre-, early- and mid-teens, but appeal to the young-at-heart of all ages, says Bartos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grandmothers also love them. Read them out loud to your family and start a conversation about issues Rosemary confronts,â&#x20AC;? she urges Rosemaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ottawa and Beyond and Rosemary and the Tree of Trees are available at the Arnprior Book Shop and on Amazon ca.

Seniors at Home
During the month of April the nation celebrates ‘National Volunteer Month’ and our agency, ArnpriorBraeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program (ABMSH), is honoured to have so many great volunteers. One such volunteer is Bob Klodt, who has been donating his time and talent since 1993 for the Income Tax Program at ABMSH. Wow 21 years! It is this type of dedication that is appreciated by both the clients and those running the program. “I can always count on Bob,” said ABMSH program co-ordinator Patti Jennings. “He is always the first to arrive when the update training begins each year,” “I like meeting the large number of people around Arnprior, especially those who find it difficult to navigate through the morass of tax rules and regulations, more so now that the interface between the public and the government is through a mouse and keyboard rather than a phone,” said Klodt. He began the yearly income tax program by re-registering with the Canada Revenue Agency in November, plus a quick refresher course in February. He and other volunteers were provided with the changes, and procedures for processing the income tax program as conducted by both Jennings and Lisa Bottomley, volunteer/program coordinator at ABMSH. As the public brings in their tax information, Klodt is contacted and will drop by picking up as many as 10 returns at a time. He jokes he gets the returns that no other volunteers want. But let the truth be said, he is one of the most requested volunteers due to his many years of experience in the business. Life began for Klodt in Brantford, Ontario, the son of Frederick and Vera
LIZ WALL
Bob Klodt has been helping seniors with their income tax for 21 years. Klodt. His dad, who was a machinist by trade, passed away in 2001. Bob is very proud to report that his mother turned 100 years young last month and continues to enjoy life with regular games of scrabble with Bob’s sisters, Carol and Sylvia. Bob smiles when he tells us his mother often wins. All three ladies call the Peterborough area home. Bob attended public school in Brantford, High School in Burford (12 miles west of Brantford), followed by the University of Toronto; graduating in 1958 with a BASc in electrical engineering. Straight out of university he was employed as design engineer in the Army Development Establishment in Ottawa from 1958 to 1961. He then moved to Northern Electric Labs, which went through name changes to Bell Northern Research, and then Nortel Labs, and grew from about 100 staff to over 5,000 in Ottawa alone. While at Nortel he managed the design of Internet, switching equipment during his last few years of a working career. In 1992 he retired followed by a move to the Arnprior area, the year he and his wife Jacklyn ‘Jackie’, nee
Slater (graduate from the Civic Hospital Nursing program), built their dream home on the west bank of the beautiful Madawaska River. In 2012 Bob and Jackie celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with a trip to San Francisco, Carmel and Napa Valley, California. As well as an ABMSH volunteer, Bob has also volunteered, since 1998, at the Arnprior and District Humane Society, first cleaning litter boxes, then graduating to the board of directors, and then to the position of the society’s treasurer in 1999. In the 2000s he held a brief appointment as president/ treasurer. Unfortunately, both Bob and Jackie have a soft spot for cats, resulting in them taking too many of the strays home. After reaching a critical mass of over 40, they decided to find other homes for some and are now down to a manageable number less than 10, including three that just showed up over the last five Christmases (one per time). He also maintains the computers at the shelter, takes care of much of the other machinery, as well as helping out with some carpentry work when required. Bob’s other inter-
ests includes assembling and maintaining computers and sports cars. His pride and joy is the sports car (a bit like a Shelby Cobra) that he started to build in 1967 and finished in 1982. He continues to drive the handmade car on nice days throughout the summer months. As you read through this article, think of volunteer Bob Klodt sitting at his desk in front of the computer, sorting through the many steps of completing all the income tax forms, often trying “what if” experiments to minimize taxes and maximize refunds, then sending them off through the Internet to the Canada Revenue Agency. “My favourite part; the joyful look on most seniors faces when they find out they can get their returns done with no math required on their part, plus the even more joyful look when they hear that they will get money back,” concludes Bob. The agency’s favourite part: having Bob Klodt as such a dedicated volunteer! VOLUNTEER NIGHT
Seniors at Home is hosting a volunteer recruitment and information night on Wednesday, May 14 at the Galilee Centre from 7 to 9 p.m. The cost to attend is free and what you can learn is both valuable and priceless. Refreshments will be available. For more information, contact Seniors at Home development co-ordinator Liz Wall at 613-623-7981, ext. 25 or email lizwall@ cssagency.ca. CORRECTION

Never-ending winter wears on Mother
No raise for seniors for three months
Lifestyle - My sister Audrey’s voice was stern that night. “I don’t know how often I have to tell you, Mary” she said, wagging a finger under my nose. “It has nothing to do with you. Mother gets like that ever so often. You should be used to it by now.” The issue was Mother’s mood. She had that look about her that gave me knots in the pit of my stomach. But that year, as winter seemed to go on forever, the snow hadn’t even begun to melt, and the Model T was still up on blocks in the drive shed, Mother seemed more melancholy than usual. And, of course, as usual, I thought I had done something to upset her. Something terrible, like forgetting to close my eyes when saying our prayers at her knee at night. Or not wiping the oilcloth on the kitchen table to her satisfaction after redding up after supper. But Audrey said,
News – It’s not the best timing. Hydro and gas bills are skyrocketing, along with everything from recreation fees and water rates. However, Employment and Social Development Canada announced Monday that the Old-Age Security (OAS) rate received monthly by senior citizens was not going up April 1. No fooling. The benefit amounts for OAS for people 65 and older from April to the end of June will remain unchanged at $551.54 per month from April 1 to June 30, 2014. Payments under the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS), the Allowance and the Allowance for the Survivor will also remain unchanged. OAS benefit amounts are reviewed quarterly (in January, April, July and October) and revised as required to reflect increases in the cost-of-living, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) set by Statistics Canada. OAS benefit amounts increased slightly for the first quarter of 2014, in response to an increase in the average CPI. The Old Age Security Act guarantees that OAS benefits do not go down, even when there is a decrease in the CPI. If the average CPI surpasses the previous level in the future, OAS benefits will go up again. The Old Age Security program is funded through general tax revenues and provides a modest base for retirement. In 2012-2013, it provided 5.2 million Canadian seniors with $40.3 billion in benefits.
Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
no. I had done nothing to put her in her mood. And once again she told me that this time of year was when Mother most missed her beloved New York. “It happens every year. Don’t you remember? Just when winter is about over.” And I would ask my sister to explain it all to me again. And she said it was sort of like getting the stomach flu, only there was no medicine to make it better. And to make matters worse, the last big snow storm prevented the Philadelphia Enquirer from arriving at Ritza’s Drug Store. The paper was as thick as Eaton’s Catalogue, and once Mr. Ritza told Mother she was the only one in the entire county who got the Philadelphia Enquirer! So Mother was even
without that connection to the city she had left, to live in the backwoods of Renfrew County, on a farm with no running water, no electricity and miles from the nearest town. It seemed to me that during the day, Mother was happier than she was at night this time of year. And again, my much wiser and older sister Audrey said it was because her days were filled with washing and ironing, baking, and keeping the old log house in shipshop shape. It was the evenings, when only the coal-oil lamp in the middle of the table lit the kitchen, and the wind howled outside, and the branches of the bare tree close to the house, scraped against the windows, that Mother fidgeted at one end of the table, often staring off into
space. She took to looking up to one corner of the kitchen ceiling, as if she were searching for something. And then she would give her head a shake, and bend down to her diaries in front of her. If Father was aware of the change in Mother, he said nothing. He still dozed in the rocking chair by the cook stove, puffing on his pipe until he fell asleep, and the pipe landed on his chest leaving his mouth, or as often happened, slid to the floor, landing on the Ottawa Farm Journal, or the Family Herald and Weekly Star. And I would sit at the long kitchen table, pretending to be drawing in a five-cent scribbler, bought at the Rexall One Cent Sale, and kept for just such an evening past-time. But my eyes would be on Mother. And in the silence of the kitchen, the brothers quietly doing what amused them, and Audrey embroidering, I could actually hear Mother’s pencil,
sliding over the page in her diary. It made the faintest of sounds, but on those evenings when Mother’s mind was a million miles away, I was so aware of every move she made at the end of the table. It was at that time that she wrote furiously in her diaries. She sat with her left arm circling her scribbler, and I would see her nod, as if confirming what she was writing, and I could tell when she came to the end of a sentence. She would jab at the paper with the pencil, as if to say, “There now. That’s how I feel.” I longed to see what she had written, but, of course, no one was allowed near her scribblers, which were kept in the upper shelf of the back-to-the-wall cupboard. That was a sacred place. At other times I would fall asleep to the click-clack of the old treadle Singer sewing machine when Mother sewed after we had gone to bed. It was a wonderful, soothing
sound. But now, the house was quiet. The only sounds came from Father plugging more wood into the stove. We would have said our prayers as usual. And, as usual, Mother would put her hand on each head signalling it was time for us to say our own prayer and ask God for special favours. And I would pray for the end of winter. I would pray that before long our evenings would return to happier times. When joy would come from Mother playing the harmonica, as Audrey and I leafed through Eaton’s catalogue. When the days were longer, the snow had left the foundation of the house, and Mother would once again return from wherever she was on those dark and gloomy nights at the end of winter.

Spring and pet adoptions, make your decision carefully Pet Talk
IAN STUPP What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 are just some of the things you should consider before you head out the door to get 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 who 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 donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work out. Remember, pets have feelings too! Ian owns ad operates Wags & Whiskers Dog and Cat Grooming and Puppy Kindergarten at 118 John St. North, Arnprior.

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dogs are playing a major role in combating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant recognized that fact recently when she hosted a visit by members of the Courageous Companions Canada organization on Parliament Hill. A special presentation marked the placement of the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 100th PTSD Service dog, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Elijahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The dog was named â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Elijahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to honour deceased Manitoba MLA Elijah Harper, who was very supportive of the program. The dogs are trained by Manitoba Search and Rescue (MSAR), an independent, non-governmental search and rescue association with Aboriginal leadership. To mark the placement of the 100th service dog, Wounded Warriors Canada received a $100,000 donation from Harris Rebar to be directed to Courageous Companions to fund the K9 program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was pleased to be joined by Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino to acknowledge the work of this organization,â&#x20AC;? said Gallant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The donation to Courageous Companions will fund 22 service dogs.â&#x20AC;? Courageous Companions is a proj-

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant, with Terrence Green and a canine friend. ect that provides specially trained service dogs to veterans who are struggling with PTSD and other disabilities. The dogs are rescued from shelters and First Nations communities and then trained by volunteers. There is no cost of any kind - all PTSD service dogs are donated free to any Canadian Forces members (retired or active) in the program. Courageous Companions believes that soldiers have sacrificed their future to defend their country. To show gratitude, dogs are donated to their
recovery. Dogs are acquired from shelters as the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motto is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rescuing One Soul to Save Anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The dogs are specifically chosen for their sociability and intelligence, which decreases training time and provides maximum emotional support for the soldier working with the dog. Present at the ceremony to give his story was Master Cpl Bill Nachuk, who had been in the military for 16 years and served in Israel, Bosnia and Afghanistan. When Nachuck came back to Canada he was diagnosed with major depression disorder, PTSD and anger issues. Without his service dog, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Gamblerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, he likely wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t still be alive, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went from four times in six months of suicidal threats and attempts, being almost kicked out of the military, addictions to alcohol and gamblingâ&#x20AC;? to being active and out in the community, he said. Nachuk went from being on the fast track for a medical release to recently finishing his course work for promotion to Sargeant. Recently, he signed a contract for indeterminate service, which secures his future in the military.

This adorable gang were all named after songs! Last fall these beautiful kittens were born near the shelter, they are approx. 7 months old. They can be shy in new situations but are playful and curious, with a little patience they will come around quickly. Are you looking for a new companion??

Lifestyle - With spring in full bloom, 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 motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s puppy or I promised the children when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. 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. 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 wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t destroy your home while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re away. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. 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 purchased, and that does not include the initial cost of the adoption or purchase.
