Hops sveetz is what the 600 or so fans of women’s hockey shouted when the host team scored in Saturday night’s game at the Nick Smith Centre.

Unfortunately for team Switzerland, they got to shout it just the one time; albeit in the dying moments. Russia won a convincing 3-1 victory by using its size and speed to control all three periods. (Switzerland was out-shot 21-4 in the first.)

Lisa Desarmia was among those routing for the host team, which used Arnprior’s Nick Smith Centre as its base to prepare for the Women’s World Hockey championship being held in Ottawa April 2 to 9.

Her daughter Kira was among the little ones scrimmaging on the Girls including Madison Storie, left, and Kira Desarmia and other fans of great hockey enjoyed a treat at the Nick Smith Centre Saturday. It was a near full-house for the exhibition women’s game between Switzerland ice to entertain the crowd.

EMC news – “It’s a big thing for Braeside.�

New Braeside postmaster Peter Watson said residents are for the most part excited about the opening of the community mail boxes at Robbin’s Confectionery.

Postal services in the village go back a long way.

Hanging in the Braeside ofďŹ ce is a photograph of ‘Miss McKinnon’ working at the village post ofďŹ ce in 1907.

The postal services outlet has been open for more than a month, but Monday, April 2 marked the ďŹ rst day mail was put into the boxes located inside the store/gas station.

The boxes serve about 390 families in the area with another 300-plus on the rural route.

Watson credited staffers Linda Lacroix and Lavina Booth, who looks after the rural customers, for their hard work and patience in the process of re-establishing the post ofďŹ ce. “They’ve been instrumental,â€? said Peter. “They’ve gone above and beyond the call of duty.â€?

Township and community ofďŹ cials have been working with Canada Post to restore postal services in the village since the post ofďŹ ce closed in March 2011.

Peter owns Robbin’s with his brother Dave.

The Watson brothers were born and raised in Braeside and this year celebrate 25 years in business at Robbin’s.

Dave agrees the opening is a happy occasion. “A lot of people are saying how nice it is to get the post ofďŹ ce back,â€? he said.

MP Cheryl Gallant was expected to attend an ofďŹ cial opening of the post ofďŹ ce this week.

The post ofďŹ ce is open from 9 a.m. to noon and 1-5 p.m. Monday to Friday.

The municipalities and services sector accounted for 38 per cent of the increase or about 3,300 employees.

The same two Arnprior town employees made the list in both 2011 and 2012. However, the number of Town of Renfrew workers making $100,000-plus rose from one to seven as six employees made the list for the ďŹ rst time.

The town workers on the list are treasurer Keray O’Reilly ($122,449), development and works director Mike Asselin ($117,654), ďŹ re chief Guy Longtin ($114,562), town clerk Kim Bulmer ($108,031), ďŹ re captain Tim Hill ($115,176), ďŹ re lieutenant Daniel Visneskie ($105,332) and ďŹ re captain Peter Whalen ($102,588). None of the townships in Renfrew County had any employees on the list.

There were four Arnprior Regional Health Victoria Hospital ofďŹ cials on the list, the same as last year. CEO-president Eric Hanna earned $189,959, vice-president of patient and resident services Leah Levesque $109,869, vicepresident of human resources Ron Marcotte $108,853 and vice-president ďŹ nance and support services Steve Hudson $108,475.

Two former Arnprior hospital ofďŹ cials are among the four at Renfrew Victoria Hospital making the list. Vice-president of patient services Christine Ferguson made $140,589 and former vice-president ďŹ nancial services Tim Sonnenburg earned $134,981. CEO Randy Penney, who earns $270,752, is also paid for heading up St. Francis Memorial Hospital in Barry’s Bay. RVH vice-president of corporate services Julia Boudreau earned $140,915.

The 159th Arnprior Fair runs Aug. 8 to 11 at the fairgrounds. The entertainment will also include up-and-coming young country artist Tim Hicks. The fair board, which is holding its

On Friday, Arnprior’s own DTP band will open for guitarist Wilcox, of Riverboat Fantasy fame. Saturday’s offering will include the demolition derby followed by Rudy and Saddle Up, a country party band from the Kingston

The fair board is planning a Ranch Night Saturday, May 4 at 8 p.m. at the Nick Smith Centre. Billed as a ‘Rocking Country Good Time Dance’, it is a fundraiser for the fair. For more on the fair, visit https://www.facebook. com/events/543978292293671/.

New bylaw may make its way onto the town’s books Patricia Leboeuf

pleboeuf@metroland.com

EMC news - The Arnprior council is reviewing a new draft Delegation of Authority Bylaw.

A decision will be made during the next council meeting on Monday, April 8.

The town does not currently have such a bylaw on its books.

It tightens up the rules around training, advertising, human resources, regulations and more. It would cover topics such as organizational change, debt and financial issues while ruling over the ‘Who does what’ with respect to administration and other matters, said town CAO Michael Wildman.

“The benefit of delegation bylaws is they really can streamline processes and speed up service delivery,” he added.

With such a bylaw in place, development projects would be accepted in about 30 days less than the usual time frame.

With this type of advantage in mind, staff has reviewed similar bylaws from other cities, but principally off the City of Ottawa’s model, to create a draft bylaw.

Since the town is considerably smaller, the draft is stripped down from the Ottawa’s version. The 15-page document will focus on the town’s needs.

“We don’t need the 60 pages of the Ottawa bylaw,” said Wildman.

Many procedures contained in the bylaw are currently being undertaken in an informal manner by staff members. These tasks will now be assigned officially and follow a chain of command.

“We have pared back in a few areas because we felt there were reasons that staff shouldn’t be doing certain things and that it should be rising to council,” said Wildman. “There are certain longstanding practices that are not recommended and that are things like dealing with reserves and reserve funds.”

Historically staff has been making adjustments to these areas, but it should be a decision made by council, he added.

It is the third of three major bylaws identified by Wildman and his team that are in need of change. The Procurement Bylaw and the Procedural Bylaw are also receiving an update overhaul.

OPINION

EDITORIAL

Back efforts to promote local food Spring is in the air â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the season of rebirth and rejuvenation. There could be no better time to remind ourselves of the important role that agriculture plays in our lives.

Last week a news release from BMO, the Bank of Montreal, invited Canadians to celebrate spring by supporting the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vibrant agriculture sector.

The release noted that agriculture in Canada accounts for 8.1 per cent of total gross domestic product (GDP) and $63.5 billion in global trade. Canada is also the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fifth largest agriculture exporter and sixth largest importer.

It was also noted that Canadians try to purchase home-grown poultry, vegetables, beef, fruit and cheese, always or frequently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canadian consumers continue to benefit from a strong and stable agriculture system with reliable food sources and unparalleled safety,â&#x20AC;? said Karl McLaren, BMO manager of agriculture. A BMO survey revealed that Canadians try to purchase the following homegrown products always or frequently: poultry (84 per cent); vegetables (91 per cent); beef (78 per cent); fruit (86 per cent) and cheese (81 per cent).

The timing appears good for the new Ontario government who reintroduced legislation

March 25. If passed, it will help to make more local food available in markets, schools, cafeterias, grocery stores and restaurants throughout the province.

The Local Food Act would: â&#x20AC;˘ Increase local food awareness, access and sales by setting local food goals and targets in consultation with stakeholders; â&#x20AC;˘ Enable government to work with public sector organizations toward these goals and share information on their progress and results; â&#x20AC;˘ Proclaim a Celebrate Ontario Local Food Week that would begin the Monday before Thanksgiving; and, â&#x20AC;˘ Require the government to produce a local food report on its activities to support local food â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eating local isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just good for Ontario families â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for our economy,â&#x20AC;? says Premier Elizabeth Wynne, who is also Minister of Agriculture and Food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why our government will continue to work with the agri-food sector, including retailers and food service operators, to bring more Ontario food to the table.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hopeful message for an industry far too often overlooked.

Food, and job, security are at stake.

LETTER

Speak out against genetically modified alfalfa To the Editor: Traditional alfalfa or popularly known as Queen of the Forages is, and has been, an extremely important and widely grown successful crop in the livestock communities of Renfrew County and across Canada.

Farmers in Renfrew County and across Canada over the years have had the privilege of choosing from some 200 varieties of traditional alfalfa seed; some varieties are chosen to better suit the climate of this area. Alfalfa is an ideal crop grown in rotation with corn, soybeans and wheat. Weed control in an alfalfa crop is not an issue, but alfalfa as a weed in other crops is a problem and farmers use Roundup to control it. Roundup Ready alfalfa would defeat this purpose.

Together family farmers and consumers should be sharing concerns in respect to the pending approval of Genetically Modified (GM) alfalfa seed and how it could affect the future of family farms and the supply of healthy nutritious local/Canadian food. There is no one in the agricultural community and/or consumer community asking for this technology. Then why is the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), a branch of the federal government, contemplating to introduce GM Alfalfa for use in Canada and possibly as early as this spring?

A company called Forage Genetics International has applied Monsantoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s genetically modified Roundup Ready (herbicide resistant) technology to alfalfa. Canadian regulatory authorities have approved GM alfalfa for eating and growing, but the company needs to complete one more step, called variety registration, before it can sell GM alfalfa seed.

It is up to farmers and consumers to ask the federal government to stop the introduction of GM Alfalfa seed before it is too late.

Since alfalfa is a perennial plant that is pollinated by bees, GM alfalfa will inevitably cross-pollinate with nonGM and organic alfalfa, threatening the livelihood of family farmers across Canada.

Prairie farmers have already rejected GM alfalfa for these reasons, and now the industry is trying to introduce GM alfalfa in Eastern Canada. If it is introduced, GM alfalfa will ruin export markets for alfalfa products, contaminate family farms, make it more difficult for farmers to control weeds, and threaten the future of organic food and farming in Canada.

Beekeepers are also most concerned in respect to the unknown of GM Alfalfa. In addition, GM seeds cost twice as much as conventional seeds.

In 2009 Canada lost considerable flax export markets due to Triffid Flax (GM) contamination. Most trading countries have zero tolerance for GM products. In 2006 contamination occurred in the United States during an open field test of a modified gene in a strain of rice. The genetic material from the unapproved rice contaminated more than 30 percent of all rice cropland in the U.S. Several organizations are organizing a Day of Action April 9. We are asking farmers and consumers to support these groups by either writing, e-mailing or phoning (leave a message) to Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant (613-732-4404, cheryl.gallant@parl. gc.ca) and Minister of Agriculture & Agri-Food Gerry Ritz (613-995-7080, gerry.ritz@parl.gc.ca).

Message: Farmers and consumers do not need or want GM Alfalfa. Stop the commercial introduction of GM Alfalfa. This is a serious matter. We thank you for your help. Together we can stop this plan.

NATURE

Now is the best time for seeing River Otters Michael Runtz Nature’s Way EMC lifestyle - Nature frequently exhibits defined seasonal patterns, with major phenomena occurring in predictable pulses of time.

Like clockwork, carpets of spring ephemerals paint hardwood slopes from late April through mid-May, and flocks of fall warblers liven trees from late August to mid-September.

On a much smaller scale, between late March and mid-April there is another event that occurs annually.

I suppose “event” may not be accurate for unlike the floral explosion and songbird migration there are not hundreds of individual organisms involved.

In this spring phenomenon, only one animal at a time is usually seen.

The animal is a River Otter and right now otters can be seen lying on the ice at the edge of open water.

Next to marine-dwelling Sea Otters, River

Otters eat mainly slow-moving fish such as this Bullhead.

Otters are the largest and most aquatic of all weasels.

They are easily told from other aquatic mammals by their long, tapered, furred tail, which is a full third of their body length.

Their feet are webbed for fast swimming, and the tail, which is slightly flattened from side to side, is used for bursts of speed as well as steering.

The fur is remarkably dense: nearly 58,000 hairs per square centimetre adorn the back.

MICHAEL RUNTZ/SUBMITTED

Beneath the lustrous coat lies a dense layer of underfur that traps air, keeping water away from the skin. Large whiskers surround the mouth. These help their owner find prey in murky waters.

During winter River Otters wander along frozen waterways, travelling overland to reach new ones.

When travelling on snow, they on their belly, using it like a toboggan.

Otters are carnivores and eat fish, frogs, and

crayfish. Birds and mammals are rarely killed, and contrary to popular legend otters do not eat Beavers.

I once watched an otter crunching dormant small Painted Turtles that it retrieved from the bottom of a beaver pond. The loud crunching of its canines penetrating hard shells was an eerie sound.

It is their dining habits that make otters relatively easy to see at this time of year. In winter fish are the main food, and they are brought up to the ice to be devoured.

To see an otter, watch patches of open water.

Favoured dining places are marked with remains of previous meals and blood; these sites are especially worth keeping an eye on.

Where a river enters a frozen lake is often an excellent place to find an otter. Recently I watched a large otter eating a Bullhead, a small type of catfish.

It seemed to have difficulty downing the fish’s large, bony head. After 10 minutes of mastication, the feat was finally accomplished.

Then the otter vanished into the water. Finally, after a couple of minutes it reappeared through an opening farther down the creek.

This time it had no fish and climbed onto the shaded shore where it rolled in the snow, cleaning its fur. It groomed for several minutes, then curled into a ball and fell asleep.

I waited at least 10 minutes but it did not stir.

I was not disappointed, however, for after eating such a large meal, a long nap seemed more than justified!

In summary, the resolution says the Endangered Species Act does not achieve recovery of endangered species, creates more disincentive to invest in Ontario, results in a loss of economic opportunity, and adds a new and costly layer of bureaucracy and regulatory burden.

It also asks that the ESA be amended to ensure sound science is used to support listings, delistings and designations of critical habitat.

The county resolution also calls for the burden of proof of a species’ existence on private property to be placed on the provincial government, and for critical habit to be ensured with the help of five measures. These measures include the use of a map-based approach to locate boundaries for critical habitat.

The letters and resolutions are follow-ups to the county’s Feb. 22 forum on Endangered Species Act regulations. Speaker after speaker stressed the need to reduce the burden of ESA regulations on the local economy While Mayor Campbell said she likes the resolution, she said it also requires specifics about compensation for property owners who meet provincial criteria to protect endangered species.

Renfrew Reeve Audrey Green, the acting chair of the property and development committee that brought the resolution forward, asked the resolution be passed in its present form, and that attention to compensation be left for a second phase of communication.

Renfrew County chief administrative officer Jim Hutton encouraged passing the resolution in its current form.

“Time is of the essence,” said Hutton, noting supporters of the ESA are building their support with workshops in the near future.

Mayors David Thompson of Deep River and Janice Visneskie of Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards stressed the need to pass the county’s resolution that calls for amendments to the ESA. “This legislation does scare people in our (forestry) business, because it is so devastating,” said Visneskie.

Wondering if there would ever come a day when the county isn’t talking about endangered species, she said the resolution was really well-written.

“The only thing that’s endangered in this particular piece of legislation is common sense,” said Thompson. “It’s a quantum leap of thinking that somehow a reptile or a mushroom has precedence over a human being.

“I don’t know where this legislation came from, but I know where it should be sent back. I do certainly concur with the sentiment here. This (act) is certainly some wrong-headed thinking, and we need to stand up and protect real, live human beings.”

EMC news - Horton Mayor Don Eady was pleased to attend a monthly Renfrew County council meeting for the first time since November.

Eady, 66, underwent surgery for removal of a phase one tumour in his lungs on Jan. 15 at the Ottawa Hospital.

“I’m glad to be back,” said Eady at the March 26 meeting of county council.

At the end of the meeting, he told county staff and councillors that he appreciated the several phone calls and cards sent to wish him well in his recovery.

“It was very, very much appreciated,” he said.

“We’re very grateful and happy that you’re back with us,” responded Warden Peter Emon. “We missed you.”

McNab-Braeside Mary Campbell is displeased that the County of Renfrew hasn’t been more specific about compensation for land owners who establish safe habitat for endangered species.

However, during the March 27 session of county council, she and several colleagues expressed satisfaction with Warden Peter Emon’s letters and accompanying resolution to Premier Kathleen Wynne and David Orazietti, the new minister of natural resources.

In the letter dated March 13, the warden alludes to his conversation with Wynne at the recent Ontario Good Roads Association/ROMA conference in Toronto.

He invited the premier, who is also the agriculture minister, to visit the county for its Taste of the Valley and Ottawa Valley Wood branding exercise.

In the same letter, he finished his four-paragraph message with reference to a longer letter sent to the minister of natural resources about the Endangered Species Act. Emon told the premier that Renfrew County residents “are proud and knowledgeable stewards of the land and wildlife, and wish to be viewed as such. We also want to reassure that we are co-operative, however, (we) request balance when applying the Act and request that our interests are recognized, respected and dealt with.”

In his March 8 letter to the MNR minister, Emon said it is “our belief the Endangered Species Act needs to be implemented in a fair and balanced manner, with due consideration of the impact on the communities throughout Ontario.”

Unfortunately, wrote Emon, discussion of the act has “deteriorated into a battle between highly-funded and well-connected environmental groups and rural property owners that have lived and worked in our communities for generations, all the while in harmony with, and as good stewards of, endangered species on their lands. We are not interested in this type of dialogue.”

Emon said the act “unnecessarily impacts” Ontario communities and that “protection of species in rural and urban settings needs to occur in a manner that does not place communities in a financially unsustainable position.”

The resolution being sent to Wynne and Orazietti, following county council’s approval March 27, will also be sent to all Ontario municipalities for support.

Post-surgery support appreciated

CONOR HOGAN/SUBMITTED

Sandra Doran RMT

Arnprior District High School students have begun a bracelet campaign to raise money for leukemia research in honour of student Conor Hogan, who is fighting the disease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m both flattered and touched by the amount of support the school has provided.â&#x20AC;? Hogan says.

The bracelets are being sold by the committee during lunch hours this week at ADHS, at Bonnie Jane Sconeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Play It Again Sports.

Proceeds go towards leukemia research in Connorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name.

EMC news - The student body of Arnprior District High School has witnessed a beloved actor and student bravely tell all of the Facebook world he has Leukemia.

Sixteen-year-old Conor Hogan was diagnosed on Sept. 24 with Leukemia at the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more familiar with CHEO, as my arthritis treatment was carried out there prior to the discovery of leukemic cells, and more biased because my heart surgeries were carried out there,â&#x20AC;? Hogan says in an e-mail interview.

Hoganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first chemotherapy treatments took place at CHEO. Just recently, he was transferred to the Ottawa General Hospital.

Hogan was moved to the General because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where he was to receive a bone-marrow transplant, as CHEO does not have the facilities available that Hogan needs.

Prior to the bone-marrow transplant, Hogan has been given high doses of chemo, along with a combination of irradiation treatment.

The bone-marrow transplant took place on March 22 and was successful, according to Hogan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The recovery period afterwards will be dedicated to building up my immune system and ensuring I accept the graft. This could take anywhere from three weeks to several months,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Hogan is greatly admired at ADHS for his various performances in plays and musicals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I enjoy reading and writing (both of which thankfully I can keep up in the hospital) and spending time in the woods. I spend altogether too much time on the Internet, I think,â&#x20AC;? he says.

A small committee from ADHS is selling rubber bracelets in honour of Hogan. The bracelets say Conor Hogan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Keep Calm and Wear a Suit.

Students Jen Shane and Kaitlyn Fraser have done an excellent job of updating the Facebook page on the campaign and distributing the bracelets themselves.

Many of these bracelets are found around the wrists of ADHS students.

Town Square plan unveiled at open house Patricia Leboeuf

“For now we are thinking that we are really on the right track,” she added.

The project is estimated to cost about $130,000, which will entirely come from donations and grants. Once the funds are raised, the project should be completed by the end of the year.

pleboeuf@metroland.com

EMC news -The Arnprior Town Square project is one step closer to completion after its plans were officially unveiled last week.

Residents were invited to comment on the project during an open house held at the library on March 26.

Comments collected during the open house and afterwards will be taken in consideration.

Any worries or desires can be brought to the committee’s attention at any time.

“We’ll make sure to incorporate as many good features as we can,” said town planner Robin Smith.

Beautifying the town is one of the reasons the project has come to life, but is not the only consideration.

It will allow the town to make use of the property right by the water and create a central place where people can gather downtown.

The buzz over the project’s plans is positive.

“I think from the town’s perspective we are really excited about making better use of this park land,” said Smith.

“It’s such a focal place within the downtown that we are really excited about sprucing it up and better use being made of it,” she added.

The park has been design to link together all sorts of different elements, linking the trail to the downtown core.

The natural beauty has been emphasized with a large amount of trees and plants fanning

PATRICIA LEBOEUF/METROLAND

The sign charting the fundraising progress for the Arnprior Town Square project was unveiled during the open house on March 26. From left, committee members Mayor David Reid, Francis Dupuis, Hedley Brittle, Coun. Lynn Grinstead, Lori Van Wyk and Mark Nibourg donated time, money and effort to get the project off the ground. the grounds and framing the river. A gazebo will allow visitors rest their feet in style.

The concept is strong and contains everything the town desires, said Smith

The first official donation has come in for the Arnprior Town Square project, courtesy of the Knights of Columbus’ reserves.

“It’s a great thing really,” said KOC member Arnold Smith. “The town needs some sprucing up.”

He participated in the unveiling of the fundraising sign and took a sneak peak of the plans.

“I think it’s great,” said Smith. “People from across the bridge there, it’s the first thing that will catch their eye.”

Inducing generosity for the project with the club’s members wasn’t very difficult. Just a few minutes after bringing up the subject, Smith had the money in hand.

“We make our money through bingo and renting our hall out and all our funds goes to charities,” said Smith.

He hopes that the Town Square will be a big success. Cheques made payable to the town of Arnprior will be put in a special account to pay for the square.

More information on the project can be found at www.arnprior.ca/townsqpage.htm.

EMC news - The town of Arnprior is making itself more attractive to competitive cyclists by closing some of its streets for the Champlain’s Cyclosportif Bike Races.

On the morning of July 24, parts Edey, Edward, William, Division and Elgin streets, will be distinctively devoid of motorist vehicles for an hour.

It will allow cyclists to begin the major event’s three races in relative safety.

The first race will reach 180 km in length, the second will be 120 km long and the third will be 80 km.

The race will showcase Arnprior and its surroundings natural beauty and is a boon for tourism, say organizers.

It is an overall good fit for the town, said Mayor David Reid.

“It’s good to see that they are looking at Arnprior for the event,” he added.

The races will be staggered throughout the morning and start at 9 a.m.

The event will begin at the Agricultural Soci-

ety grounds and finish at Robert Simpson Park where participants will enjoy refreshments and entertainment.

It will prove to be a busy morning.

“We are looking at 750 cyclists coming into town that day for the three events,” said director of recreation services Glenn Arthur.

The Ontario Provincial Police will provide a lead vehicle at each race’s start and watch over the cyclists during the event.

In return, the town will provide a report with details on the event.

CYCLOSPORTIF

The event is all-new fundraiser in the Ottawa Valley and will feature some of the area’s most picturesque trails.

All the proceeds from the Champlain’s Folly Cyclosportif will be donated to the Ottawa Velodrome Project. This non-profit project will set up an indoor velodrome in Ottawa where cyclist will be able to train all-year-round.

More information on the event can be found at http://www.facebook.com/ChamplainsFollyCyclosportif.

Basketball teams at St. Joseph’s School in Arnprior had an impressive season this year. The Grade 8 girls team are Renfrew County champs. Right, in back from left, are coach Nathan Hisko, Ashley Pulcine, Alyssa Sparling, Sydney Friske, Gwen Flegal, Sarah Symington, Melissa Thompson; and in front, Jessica Daze, Julia Enright, Cynthia Deaves and Sarah Couture. Missing are Emily Conway and Emily Dawson. The girls were 3-0 in round-robin play to earn the top seed going into the playoffs. St. Joe’s played St. Mary’s in the semi-final to advance to the gold medal game, which was a battle of the St. Joe’s.

St. Joe’s Arnprior beat St. Joe’s Renfrew by two points. A proud coach Hisko said the girls bought into a team-first concept from the start and it showed all day long.

They had fun all day and played for/with each other rather than individually.

The program allows boys Grade 6-8 to join and improve their fundamentals with drills and instruction from Phil Moore, Jody Moore, Dan Lavallee and Michael Shoveller.

Shoveller recently visited local schools to raise awareness of the new program and share his basketball experiences with the students.

“Before you ask, I’m 6’11”,” he told students at Walter Zadow Public School, the Grade 12 student’s alma mater He made note of how basketball has changed his life, allowing him to travel abroad and make great connections.

“It’s introduced me to a lot of great people and given me a lot of great opportunities,” he said.

The instructors will work with the boys in one-and-a half-hour clinics. In addition, players will have the opportunity to play in a developmental league during the last one and a half hour.

A recent registration was successful and more applicants will be considered. The cost to register is $80 with SHERRY HAAIMA/METROLAND t-shirt included in price. The program will run from April Grade 12 Arnprior District High School student Michael Shoveller 22 until June 17, from 6-9 p.m. at ADHS.

The boys were 2-1 in round-robin play with only one loss to Bishop Smith and wins over St. Joe’s of Renfrew and St. Mary’s of Deep River. St. Joe’s played St. Mary’s in the semifinal, advancing to the finals after a double-overtime victory on a last second steal and basket by Stephen Hass. Despite leading at half-time versus Bishop Smith in the gold medal game, Arnprior fell a little short. Coach Smith said the boys left it all on the court and gave 100 per cent while playing a two-way game throughout the tournament.

Goal-a-game Collins leads Ottawa to EOJHL final John Carter John.carter@metroland.com

EMC sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Ottawa Junior Canadians, with its large contingent of former Arnprior Packers, will face the Athens Aeros in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League championship series.

Tayler Collins of the Arnprior area led Ottawa to 4-0 sweep of the Renfrew Timberwolves in the Valley-Metro ďŹ nal.

Collins scored shorthanded to clinch a 5-2 win for Ottawa in game four in Renfrew March 22. It was Collinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sixth goal and ninth point of the four-game series.

Added to his nine goals and 10 assists in the 10 games of the Metro semi-ďŹ nal and ďŹ nal, it gives Collins a league-leading 15 goals and 13 assists in 14 playoff games.

Another former Packer, goalie Matt Couvrette, has backstopped Ottawa into the ďŹ nal series and Mitch Parker chipped in with six points in the four games.

In the ďŹ nal Renfrew-Ottawa game, former Packer Casey Donor notched both Timberwolf goals. He led

Renfrew with four goals in the series.

Athens is celebrating its third Rideau-St. Lawrence championship in team history, but hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won since 1994.

Third-period goals last Friday from Brian Berry and David Empey propelled Athens to a 3-1 win over the defending Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League champion Casselman Vikings at Centre 76 in Athens. The win gives the Aeros the conference title in six games.

The Ottawa Junior Canadians will be seeking their second league championship in four years.

The series starts tonight (Thursday) in Athens at 8 p.m., and returns to the Brian Kilrea (Canterbury) Arena in Ottawa Saturday at 7:15 p.m.

Games three and four will be played Sunday and Tuesday.

The Canadian womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey team defeated the Metro loopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gatineau Mustangs 3-1 in an exhibition game last Thursday in Petawawa in preparation for the upcoming womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world hockey championships.

World class hockey inspires Arnprior girls Continued from front

“It’s a really great thing.

They get it,” she said. “They understand the concept of it being girls’ hockey.”

Lisa and her friend Madison Storie weren’t in the least nervous; even going so far as to say in the past they’ve played in front of that many fans. They agreed that watching the highest calibre women’s hockey in the world is a great inspiration to them, showing that they can achieve great heights, too.

Bantam AA star Devon Greenough was another player inspired by the on-ice action.

She is a product of the Arnprior Minor Hockey Association, but is now in highly competitive hockey in Ottawa. Her team is one of those playing in the Ontario Bantam championship this week (April 4 to 7) at the Nick Smith Centre.

“It’s very exciting to watch,” Greenough said. “It’s great to see what I’m against at the higher levels.”

DEREK DUNN/ METROLAND

Russia almost scores early against the Swiss Saturday at the Nick Smith Centre. Right, taking in the action is former Sens star Alexei Yashin and his wife, right, former super model Carol Alt.

Along with enthusiastic fans and extensive media coverage, the night had a touch of glamour with former Ottawa Senators captain Alexei Yashin and his super model wife Carol Alt in attendance.

Yashin is the Russian National Women’s Team general manager. The town also held a reception (see Page 28) for the Swiss team March 28 at the Nick Smith Centre.

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

Devon Greenough is impressed with women’s hockey in Arnprior.

Arnprior parks and recreation director Glenn Arthur was impressed with the play, especially watching Switzerland practicing on Nick Smith Centre ice all week.

“That’s when you really got to see how talented they are,” said Arthur, who was pleased with Saturday’s turnout.

The exhibition game was designed to generate a buzz in the lead-up to the eight-team 2013 Ice Hockey Women’s World Championship from April 2 to 9, in Ottawa.

Switzerland is in tough being in a pool with co-favourites Canada and the U.S. as well as Finland. Canada plays the U.S. and Switzerland Tuesday and Wednesday before taking on Finland this Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Scotiabank Place.

The National Woman’s Hockey team of Switzerland practices at the Nick Smith Centre in front of excited local students. The team held practices in Arnprior on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday prior to their game with Team Russia.

Arnprior students welcome Swiss national team hockey players Sydney Ross Co-op student

EMC sports- Arnprior and McNab-Braeside students were invited the Nick Smith Centre last week to watch the National Woman’s Hockey Team of Switzerland hold practices.

In preparation to the World Championships in Ottawa, many teams were distributed across the area to different arenas.

Team Switzerland stayed in Arnprior prior to this week’s championship, and used the opportunity to demonstrate their talent to local students. The team capped their week off with a game against Russia Saturday.

Arnprior youth co-ordinator, Kayla Menkhorst, along with a committee at the Nick Smith Centre, arranged for students from local schools to witness the team practice.

“The (Swiss) team gets to see the kids come out for support, so it’s motivational for them,” Menkhorst said. “As well, it’s something they (kids) don’t get to see everyday.”

Following the practices, the students were given a presentation by five of the Swiss players. The players were quizzed about their home country and answered many of the students’ questions, whether they were about Switzerland or their careers as athletes.

The players individually told the students about themselves outside of hockey, motivating their audience to go for their dreams, work hard and do what they love.

After their time in Arnprior, the Swiss team went to Ottawa to play the preliminary round beginning Tuesday at Scotiabank Place and the Nepean Sportsplex. The tournament will continue until April 9.

Swiss players talk to local students after a practice at the Nick Smith Centre.

KatieBears love reaches beyond borders

Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

EMC lifestyle – KatieBears is a true labour of love. And there’s no doubt in Lynda and Ian Fraser’s mind that their daughter Katie is smiling down from heaven at the organization that has grown and is flourishing with the efforts of her family and friends.

“It’s just been unbelievable,” said Fraser. From volunteers to donors to corporate sponsors, KatieBears has no shortage of support.

“More and more, people are starting to know what KatieBears is,” she said.

Fresh from a trip to a Jamaica where KatieBears continued its tradition of helping children at its adopted school and reaching out to kids and adults, Fraser said the organization continues to grow.

What began as a project in her late daughter’s memory to give out teddy bears to those who looked like they could use a hug along local Santa Claus

parade routes has stretched across provincial borders and beyond.

MANY HANDS

Something unique to the KatieBears organization is the influx of volunteers.

“I can’t stop the volunteers,” said Fraser. “They’re coming in steady.”

She is eternally grateful to all the people who have helped along the way and wants them to see how many people their dollars and volunteer time have helped.

“You’ve supported us, this is what we’ve done. This is what you’ve helped create,” she said.

Last year, a TVO film crew visited the Fraser’s McNabBraeside Home to feature the super volunteers and the organization. That program should be airing soon.

KatieBears has two main fundraising events. The fun day in Eganville planned for May 25 this year is sure to be

a great time, said Fraser. Complete with a KatieBears idol competition, the event always proves fun for the whole family, she said.

“We’re having a craft show, games and stuff for the kids outside,” said Fraser. Frisco’s will be on hand with food and the fun includes head shaving events, draws.

The other fundraising event is a fall bowlathon in Arnprior.

KatieBears is on its way to obtaining charity status. “It’s been a real learning process,” said Fraser. In early March, the first KatieBears board meeting was held and the first order of business was to establish a board of directors.

SPREADING THE LOVE

KatieBears adopted the Dalmally School in Jamaica, bringing supplies and funding improvements.

The recent trip to Jamaica was the couple’s fifth trip to the country. KatieBears has now connected with Pace Canada in its efforts to provide supplies and bears to students at the Dalmally School “This was definitely one of

the best things we have ever done,” said Fraser of the efforts in Jamaica. “Katie loved school so she would be very happy.”

She appreciates the need for education in the poor country.

“You have to start them off right and keep them interested,” said Fraser.

The most recent donation helped wire the school for electricity and outfit it with a new tile floor.

Lynda and Ian brought bears to another school and spread cheer everywhere they went in Jamaica.

A highlight of this year’s trip was Lynda’s donation of several of Katie’s favourite childhood storybooks.

Another new development for KatieBears is a new Nova Scotia branch. A host of parade-goers in Fall River walked away with a KatieBear and no doubt a big smile this year.

For more information or to find out how to get involved, find KatieBears on Facebook or www.katiebears.ca.

John.carter@metroland.com

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The often bitter dispute between the provincial government and public school teachers appears to be coming to an end.

Elementary teachers are back to being involved in extracurricular activities if they wish and the secondary school teachers have reached a revised deal with the government. Local teacher representatives were staying mum on both fronts, as there is a media blackout on the province-teacher negotiations aimed at ending the teacher moves taken in protest of having contracts imposed on them.

The Elementary Teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federation of Ontario (EFTO) announced last week that it will no longer insist its members in Renfrew County and across the province to shy away from extracurriculars.

In a news release, EFTO president Sam Hammond explained that in light of progress made during discussions with the province, the union will no longer advise its members to boycott after-school voluntary activities, such as sports teams, clubs, drama, field trips, graduation ceremonies and the like.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;ETFO and the government have been involved in meaningful discussions since February,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Talks are continuing, and we are now confident that the government has demonstrated a commitment to dealing with concrete items of importance to our members.â&#x20AC;?

An all-member vote will be conducted upon conclusion of any agreement reached with the government, he promised.

In the meantime, it will be left up to the individual teachers to decide whether or not to volunteer their time outside of the classroom. Public school teachers withdrew from all extracurricular activities late last year to protest Bill 115, provincial legislation used to force two-year contracts on them.

The Ontario Secondary School Teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federation (OSSTF) lifted its ban on extracurriculars last month. Now it has reached an agreement-in-principle with the province that is focused on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fair and consistent application of the existing collective agreements,â&#x20AC;? according to Education Minister Liz Sandals in a statement Sunday.

Both sides are refusing to release details of the deal until union members vote on them, but Sandals insists it will not undermine the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to get its financ-

es in order. Sandals said the government and OSSTF have been able to resolve implementation concerns identified in a number of areas including sick leave, maternity leave, retirement gratuity, unpaid days and local bargaining. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am pleased that through hard work and a collaborative approach, we have been able to address some concerns of OSSTF members, and that we have helped restore an important relationship with a valued partner,â&#x20AC;? said Sandals in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement, Meanwhile, Ontario Progressive Conservative Education Critic Lisa MacLeod expressed concern the new deal would be costly for Ontario taxpayers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After dealing with interruption in their kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; classrooms throughout most of this year, Ontario parents are now learning that the Liberal government is prepared to water down an implemented wage freeze and will give OSSTF more gratuities,â&#x20AC;? she said in a news release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even as Liberals refuse to provide additional details, it is already clear that the changes will be costly to the province, which is in a massive deficit and already struggling to keep up with the increasing costs of frontline programs like full day kindergarten.â&#x20AC;?

EMC news - Arnprior District High School was third in Renfrew County and 331st in Ontario in the latest Fraser Institute report card.

ADHS had a 6.5 rating, compared to a high of 7.7 in 2008. For the last five-year period ADHS actually ranks 182nd in the province.

While the rankings, do attract the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention, several schools across the country say the Fraser Institute report cards donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accurately reflect the scope of schoolsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; academic and community credentials.

Brennan Trainor, principal at St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic High School, shares some of those concerns, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still pleased with the latest results that have the high school that serves the Renfrew and Arnprior areas tied for third place in the province of Ontario.

The Vancouver-based think tank, which has done the high school analyses for five years, has St. Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tied for third place with Colonel By Secondary School in Ottawa, with a score of 9.2 out of 10. That compares to St. Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous high overall score of 7.8 in 2010 and worst score of 5.5 in 2011.

The risk of doing so well is that people will also make comparisons the next year, especially if the scores are lower, said Trainor of the report cards released in late March.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always the risk for a lowerpopulation school, too, he added, noting St. Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had 121 students writing the literacy test, whose results were pivotal to the report cardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final mark.

Several schools have many more students writing that test.

However, Trainor says the high provincial ranking leaves St. Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff cautiously optimistic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re certainly respectful that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re putting our results out there and saying well done for doing our work. But there are many other factors that make a school effective that are not reported on.

Heading the provincial rankings are London Central Secondary School, first at 9.6.

Next highest ranked eastern Ontario schools, after third-place St. Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, were St. Michael in Kemptville and West Carleton in Dunrobin. They were among five schools tied for eighth with scores of 9.0.

The ranking list covers 725 English and French, public and Catholic high schools across Ontario after evaluation of six academic factors.

The reports also take into account studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; socio-economic make-up, like their parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; average income, the percentage of students whose second language is English, and the number of special-needs students.

Renfrew Collegiate Institute was fifth-ranked among Renfrew Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 high schools. A 6.1 score leaves RCI ranked 378th. Opeongo High School was last of the 10 schools, placing 675th in the province with an overall score of 3.2.

Visit www.fraserinstitute.org to read the 74-page report card on Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secondary schools. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a link to each schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report card.

In the earlier Fraser Institute report card on elementary schools, Arnpriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s John XXIII Catholic School shared first place in the province.

Spring activities courtesy of Arnprior Parks and Recreation youth Well we are now into spring! With the snow starting to melt and the flowers soon to be popping up from the ground; it’s time to start thinking about what you will be doing during your free time!

We have some existing programs that are starting back up in the spring, but we have added a few new aspects to them.

Our cooking program is starting back up in April. The cooking classes are now going to be held on Thursdays from 6-9 p.m. at ADHS’s Home Economic room. Our first one will be held on Thursday, April 4 and instructed by Shay, Don, Jess and Casey!

Learn how to make delicious, homemade meals and desserts that you can impress your whole family with. Then on Thursday, April 11, join us for our first ‘Mom n’ Me’ class.

You will have the chance to bring your mother, aunt, older sister, or grandmother to cook and bake alongside you.

You have the chance to show them all of your cooking skills and spend some quality time together and maybe even start a tradition of cooking and baking together.

Every class is only $20, so register soon before spaces fill up. Registration is due one week prior to the program and you can register at the Nick Smith Centre.

Heard the buzz around town about our Fenc-

ing program? Well it is back and we are very happy to be offering it once again.

Bridge sectional April 12-14

Mayor for Meals

EMC events - The Arnprior Duplicate Bridge Club is hosting its fourth annual Sectional Tournament April 12-14.

The Arnprior Sectional has quickly established itself as one of the best-run, most successful tournaments from anywhere.

In fact, it has been described as the best-run tournament in North America. Period. Tournament chairman Wayne Daze is urging the community to help the Prior Bridge club help make the 2013 Arnprior Sectional the best ever by participating as players, volunteers and sponsors.

Local businesses and individuals are invited to join a growing list of donors and sponsors that last year

March 20 was designated ‘Mayor for Meals’ day throughout Ontario to bring awareness to the value of the Meals on Wheels service. Arnprior Council participated showing its support both for the community’s seniors and the Meals on Wheels as provided by ArnpriorBraeside-McNab Seniors At Home program (ABMSHP) in conjunction with the Grove Nursing Home.

Stepping in for Mayor Reid was acting mayor Lynn Grinstead, centre, with ABMSHP Meals on Wheels volunteer driver Kevin Turcotte and the lady of the day, Meals on Wheels, client Eva Weisser.

provided more than $8,000 worth of merchandise, gift certificates and coupons for the tournament.

The Arnprior Sectional is quite a story, notes Daze. “From the outset, our committee of volunteers committed to a vision of a friendly, well-run tournament where everyone leaves well-satisfied, well-treated, and well-fed.”

The first year in 2010 roughly 500 people came to Arnprior to play in the tournament. In 2011, it attracted almost 800 players from as far away as 300 kilometres. In 2012, organizers welcomed over 900 players and distributed more than $8,000 in prizes. Players are attracted by the high quality organization, warm hospitality, abundant free snacks, delicious, affordable on-site meals and an array of prizes that is truly mindboggling, explains Daze.

Any donations are welcome to bolster the prizes and gifts awarded for first, second and third in each session in addition to door prizes, draws and giveaways.

For more information or to donate, contact Daze at 613-623-2131 or siddaze@gmail. com or visit priorS, ARNPRIOR bridgeclub.ca.

Using the outhouse at night a scary proposition MARY COOK

closed once you got seated.

Yes, the new outhouse was an improvement, but Mother still lamented daily about how it was “an uncivilized way of life,” which she never quite got used to. My friend Joyce also had a store-bought roll of real toilet paper in her indoor bathroom.

It hung on a wire holder on the wall and even when I didn’t have to go, I never failed to use the bathroom when I visited her house. I would reef off a piece of that store-bought toilet paper, just to witness the sheer luxury of the whole experience.

Our toilet paper was the no-longer current issue of the Eaton’s catalogue. Father would drive a spike through the upper left corner of the thick book and feed a piece of heavy binder-twine through the hole, and hang it on a nail on the inside near the door.

An entire page was never fully torn out, and by the time the catalogue was well used up, it was almost useless. But it was all we had. Well, except at Christmas time.

This was when Mother would ask Mr. Briscoe if she could have the little orange wrappers that came around the oranges he brought in to his General Store only at Christmas. They were only about six inches square, but she would iron them flat and put them in the back-to-thewall cupboard in a neat little pile and they replaced the Eaton’s catalogue in the outhouse

CHECK OUT THE BRAND NEW, REDESIGNED

only when we had company. We children were well warned not to use the orange papers – they were there for a higher clientele.

A big pail of lime sat in a corner of the little black outhouse and we were instructed to use a dipper of it often. I confess, I found that chore had little appeal to me.

During the day, I had little fear of going into the outhouse, but once it got dark at night, I was filled with dread. So as soon as the daylight started to fade, I made awfully sure I made a trip out behind the trees to the little building.

But the very thought of going through the entire night without emptying my bladder was all it took to create an urgent need. This was when I would beg Audrey to come with me.

She thought I was old enough at five or six to go on my own, so I would ask her to light the lantern even thought it had yet to get absolutely dark out.

I would go through the summer kitchen and then the wood shed, a long-about way of getting there, because that way I was under cover for most of the trip.

My brother Emerson, whose mission in life seemed to be to scare the living daylights out of me every chance he got, would always warn me to stay clear of the coyotes or the big black bear he assured me would like nothing better than to haul a young girl off to the bush.

So going out to the outhouse became a constant challenge for me

Mary Cook’s Memories

R0012008096

EMC lifestyle - During the day, the outhouse held little terror for me.

It was at night, when it was pitch black outside, that I dreaded the small clapboard building that sat like a sentry behind a cluster of cedar trees in our back yard.

Mother hated the outhouse for an entirely different reason. After living in New York for 18 years, she thought going outside to the bathroom was right up there with drinking tea from a saucer or wearing a soiled apron when company came to the back door.

“Uncivilized. That’s all it is, just plain uncivilized,” was her constant lament.

Well, we had no choice out there in the back woods of Renfrew County. Our chances of having a flush toilet, like my little friend Joyce had in her brick house, were absolutely nil.

We had no running water and there was no electricity or telephone. The very thought of having a flush toilet in the house was like dreaming the Depression wasn’t happening!

For the longest time when I was very little, I remember our outhouse having only one hole.

But eventually, after Mother complained endlessly, a new one was built by Old Herman, who was considered an outhouse authority out there in Northcote for reasons which escaped me at the time. It was after the second hole was built that my sister Audrey pointed out the bevelled seat Old Herman was famous for.

Well, the bevelled seat did little to endear the outhouse to Mother and did less for me, who still dreaded going out once night had settled in. Old Herman had put a latch on both the inside and outside of the door too, which was a vast improvement over the stone on the floor that you shoved with your foot to keep the door

once it got dark at night.

There was always the Johnny pot under the bed, but to use it before we retired was out of the question.

It was there for emergencies, Mother said.

I couldn’t think of a more dire emergency than forcing a young terrified girl out in the dark at night to go to the privy.

Like the silos that were on every farm, the tin mailboxes at the end of the lanes, the hay lofts, the pumps over the wells in the middle of the yards and piles of manure at the back of every barn, the outdoor privy was very much a sign of the times during the 1930s.

Each very much a necessity for our very survival.

Tickets cost $12 and are available at Dahl’s Convenience, Keeping Company and the Renfrew Recreation Centre.

Commemorative 2013 Pageant programs will also be available for purchase the night of the show for $10.

Gracie Stewart, Miss Teen Ontario East 2012, will be on hand to cohost the event and crown her successor.

Stewart has had an amazing reign, attending on average four events per month, and has been

working diligently over the year to promote awareness of childhood cancer and the many charities that support children with cancer.

On Sunday evening, Hillary MacMillan, Miss Teen Ontario East 2011, will present her title of Miss Teen Eastern Ontario World, to Stewart who will represent the Teen Ontario East pageant and the Eastern Ontario region at the national pageant, Miss Teen Canada World in July.

Stewart will begin her six-week fundraising campaign for the national

charity Free the Children in early May. Following are this year’s contestants and their sponsors: • Jill Barr, sponsored

by Barr Sand and Grave; • Sonya Bergin, sponsored by Scotiabank; • Lainy Boldt-Johnson, sponsored by Kelly Homes; • Lindsay Cybulskie, sponsored by Brides & Blooms; • Sara Deslaurier, sponsored by Deslaurier Custom Cabinets; • Savanna Enright, sponsored by Enright Dairy Farms;

Puppetry the focus at Neat Café EMC events - A basic puppetry workshop – the art of breathing life in to an inanimate object – otherwise known as puppeteering, is coming to the Neat Café in Burnstown Sunday, April 14.

The workshop will explore techniques such as breath, focus, movement and lip sync, mostly working with Muppet-style puppets.

When everyone has a handle on some of the basics, there will be some fun to be had with simple improvisation and play.

Maybe even a look at what is involved in performing puppets for the camera. (YouTube anyone?)

Novices and puppeteers with some experience are encouraged to join – there’s always something to be learned. Everyone is invited to bring their own puppets if they have any.

The Bonnechere River Watershed Project spokesfrog for 2013, Bonnie Chere, will be there to animate if you are interested.

The workshop instructor, Trish Leeper, began her career as a puppeteer performing ‘Ma Gorg’ in the TV series Fraggle Rock and as Katie and Barbara Plum on Sesame Street in Canada. She has since worked extensively in TV and film (Short Circuit 2) as well as touring internationally.

The workshop begins at 10 a.m. and runs until 3 p.m.

A registration fee of $50 includes lunch.

We would love for you to meet WILLOW & WHISPER Willow & Whisper are now ready to find the perfect forever home. They are both spayed females approx 4 years old, we would like to place them in a home together as they are inseparable. Both dogs are shy but warm up once they are familiar with you, they are active with lots of energy to burn. They are crate trained and housebroken with good manners.

They are good with some other dogs but would prefer a home without cats or small children.

Willow & Whisper would be best suited in a home with breed experience and a fully fenced yard. They will make wonderful companions for their new family.

A thousand words can’t bring you back, I know because I’ve tried, And neither will a million tears, I know because I’ve cried.

You left behind my broken heart, And happy memories too, I never wanted memories, I only wanted you.

Till we meet again, I’ll always love you.

Those we hold most dear never truly leave us.

There was love in everything she did to make our lives worthwhile.

We found both hope and courage just by looking in her eyes.

Her laughter was a source of joy, her words warm and wise.

There was a kindness and compassion found in her embrace, And shining down from Heaven above we see the glow of Granny’s face. ~ Author Unknown ~

History of the Valley series begins April 9 EMC events – Terry Currie, author of The Ottawa Valley’s Great Fire of 1870 and numerous other items of local history, is offering a six-part lecture series on the history of the Ottawa Valley in Arnprior starting next Tuesday, April 9.

Currie already presented his lectures in Almonte last autumn with considerable success.

The series consists of six two-hour lectures in which the historian discusses: the origins and physical character of the Valley; the first inhabitants; the coming of the French; the corning of the Scots; the coming of the Irish; and finally the ‘lost nation of the Ottawa Valley’, Ottawa Valley culture as it developed from settler times to the advent of the modern era.

Currie has already presented his findings on

EMC events – It’s home show time in Pakenham. The 2013 edition of the Pakenham Home Show is set to go from this Friday, April 5 to Sunday, April 7 with more than 60 exhibits and fun valley entertainment at the Stewart Community Centre.

Tiffany MacLaren, community economic and cultural co-ordinator for Town of Mississippi Mills, encourages people to take in the show to find out about spring trends and much more. “The Pakenham Home show has been around for over 20 years and continues to grow in popularity,” said MacLaren, in an email to the Chronicle-Guide.

This year the show will welcome more than a dozen new vendors as well as many favourites from past shows.

Another reason to stop by is for a chance to win one of a number of door prizes, such as a lawn mower sponsored by TRU Country and Garden, $1,000 off a hot tub from Mahon Pools, $1,000 off a hot tub from Cobra Pools and Spas, or a $1,000 gift certificate for new appliances provided by Scheel Furniture.

the Great Fire of 1870 at the Arnprior Book Shop in 2008 as well as in many other communities from Renfrew to Merrickville and he is well known for his history tours of Almonte, White Lake and especially St. Peter Celestine Catholic Church in Pakenham.

Currie says he has been led to produce this series by a desire to make the people of the Valley aware of their heritage on a broader and deeper level. “We live in one of the most remarkable places on the planet,” he says. “Furthermore, our history is just as astonishing as our environment. I hope to lead more people to appreciate that.”

The series runs every Tuesday from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. from April 9 to mid-May at the Arnprior Public Library.
