Stuart Carswell is charged criminally with leaving the scene after fatally running over an Arnprior man on April 2. Carswell, 63, also of Arnprior, will appear in Renfrew court on May 4 to answer to a charge of failure to remain at the scene of an accident causing death. In a news release, OPP also noted “everyone is encouraged to practice personal safety at all times.” According to police spokeswoman Janice Sawbridge, the warning is not meant to indict capability on behalf of the victim, 29-year-old Chris Walsh. She is confident Carswell should have known that it was a human being he ran over, not an animal or object. OPP first got involved at 4:55 a.m. on Saturday morning after a newspa-

per delivery driver discovered Walsh’s body on Russett Drive, near Bandys Road, in McNabBraeside. Officers arrived on the doorstep of Murray and Diane Swaine not long afterward. Murray, Walsh’s stepfather, told police on the front lawn that he learned on the Internet hours beforehand of a 29-year-old man’s death. “I told them I know why you are here,” he said. Diane said her son had substance abuse problems, and hadn’t stayed at their home since the preceding Tuesday. A post mortem examination was performed April 4. Before that time, she didn’t know from police about the circumstances of her son’s death. However, the owner of one of two cab companies in town visited her to say the driver is overcome with remorse. See MOTHER page 6

The butt stops at nine metres. If the County of Renfrew has its way there will be no smoking within nine metres of its administration buildings (including 80 McGonigal St. in Arnprior), paramedic bases and public works garages. On March 30 council directed staff to bring an amended policy back to the table to its April 28 meeting, when council will vote whether to approve the new measure. The amendment clarified there would be no smoking within nine metres from any county building’s entrance, walkway or stairway. Warden Peter Emon thinks this is a good interim step and says more restrictions may come later. “It’s starting with something,” he said. “I imagine in the future there will be a committee or council that will move to a full on ban on other sites. It takes a while to educate people.”

Renfrew County’s Bonnechere Manor and Miramichi Lodge already have a strict nosmoking policy anywhere on their grounds. Paul Moreau, director of development and property for the county, doesn’t see any problem having two policies for different locations. “I don’t see any challenges coming. A municipality can pass a bylaw as it seems fit, they don’t have to be the same (for each building),” said Moreau. He also noted the Smoke Free Ontario Act distinguishes between different buildings as well. “There is no smoking on hospital properties and with other government buildings the nine-metre rule applies,” said Moreau. Some of the properties that would be affected include Renfrew County Place at 450 O’Brien Rd., Renfrew; 80 McGonigal St., Arnprior; the paramedic base in Arnprior at 91 Meehan St.; and the public works garages in Calabogie at 758 Mill St. and at 1460 Lochwinnoch Rd. in Goshen.

Hwy 17 meeting ‘productive’ Continued from front

Emon McNab-Braeside Mayor Tom Peckett, county director of public works and engineering Steve Boland, director of development and property Paul Moreau, and Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski met with Del Duca on March 24. Emon called the 45-minute discussion very productive, as the county representatives were able to speak frankly and freely with the minister. “(His staff) felt comfortable we hit all of the marks,” said Emon. “It’s in essence a ministry decision at this point.” The minster informed them he would get back to them ‘soonish’ but did not have a timeline for the next phase of the project. “With a plan we can feel comfortable with communicating it to our travelling public and also to our ratepayers and residents,” said Emon. “The plan would likely outline the next steps with some timelines for them to be held to account.” Emon hoped that Canada’s 150th anniversary coming up might help encourage a funding announcement. “We did spend some time talking about it being part of the national highway transportation network. We spent some time talking about it being a pretty significant event in 2017,” said Emon. “Given it’s Canada’s 150 birthday, that it should be a nation-building exercise that the two levels of government could and should partner to announce a plan and finance a plan.” Peckett also thought it was a very good meeting. “He acknowledged that the county had done everything asked of them,” said Peckett. Peckett also impressed on the minister how Arnprior has been affected since the four lanes had arrived to the municipality. Peckett was particularly pleased with one

specific comment from the minister. “(He said) that he doesn’t like to leave things hanging; he said that near the end of conversation,” said Peckett. “That comment has given me some enthusiasm for the first time in a long time that we are going to see some sort of action on extending the 417.” The minster told them the county had contributed a great deal to the discussion and had brought information to the ministry on a regular basis. “We also took a slightly different tact this time in that we acknowledged it would be a significant provincial investment for next phase from Scheel to just beyond Bruce Street in Renfrew,” said Emon. He continued by saying the provincial estimate for the project is $150 million, although that is four years old. “We indicated the County of Renfrew will be investing about $18 million in that 10-year span in infrastructure renewal which will service the Highway 17 soon to be Highway 417 corridor,” said Emon. “We also indicated local municipalities in Renfrew County would be spending that plus likely another $18 million.” He estimated local municipalities would be contributing $30 million in their infrastructure renewal along that corridor as well in that same time period. “We highlighted Mayor Peckett and his municipality committing to rebuild the Goshen Road for about $1.4 million and cited that is a fairly significant contribution to the prosperity and the access to Highway 417 given his total budget is usually in neighbourhood of $8 million,” said Emon. Emon feels the delegation put it all out there. “We highlighted we have some skin in the game to use a more common term because we are contributing to their investment and matching their investment as best we can.”

Assisted dying forum planned for Arnprior Staff

The thorny question of physician assisted death will be the topic of a public forum in Arnprior Thursday, April 14. The public is welcome at the session in the Grove Nursing Home auditorium starting at 6 p.m. The meeting will immediately follow a session on the topic for health care providers. Ethicist Dr. Rob Butcher from London, Ontario will lead a discussion on the physician assisted death, which will become legal in Canada as soon as the

federal government can work out guidelines and pass legislation. The Supreme Court of Canada had given the federal government until February to pass assisted dying legislation, but then added on a four-month extension, giving it until June. Dr. Butcher was in Arnprior last April for a similar meeting that featured a thoughtful discussion by about 20 caregivers and citizens on the many questions still to be resolved about physician assisted death. Arnprior palliative care nurse Wendy Barkley, who is organizing next Thurs-

day’s meeting, noted that much has happened since last year’s meeting, including two physician assisted deaths in Ontario recently. She said Dr. Butcher will provide an update on the recent moves by the Supreme Court and government, which has appointed a special panel to study the issue. He will also talk about the ethical implications for doctors, nurses and other health care providers and institutions, as well as families. Public questions will be entertained, she noted.

Town to cut down infested more elm trees Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

Several prominent trees will be cut down in Arnprior this autumn thanks to emerald ash borer. Since infesting the town about three years ago, the little green beetle has ravaged ash trees, which represent 40 per cent of Arnprior canopy, according to a staff report presented at the March 29 council meeting. “For 2016, there is some highly visible trees that have become a hazard,” said Deanna Streifel, environmental engineering officer. Ash trees near the Mac’s Milk on Madawaska Street and along Madawaska Boulevard will come down, with all 164 on town property being fallen before 2022 (depending on how quickly the borer moves.) About 127 are currently still standing. The town spent about $17,000 last year to deal with the infestation, believed to be caused by climate change. It budgeted another $20,000 this year. Streifel explained the signs of an infected tree: crowning at the top and ‘S’ shaped lines under the bark. Usually the tree is dead within two to three years of becoming infested. The good news is the town will replant trees that are more suitable to each location, are attractive and offer more diversity, she said. “The downtown revitalization project plans to replant 98 new trees in addition to the emerald ash borer (EAB) project replanting strategy,” she said. “This will help to soften the EAB impacts and significantly enhance the downtown.” Five plantings did not survive. Native species adapted to this climate that will be planted include a variety of oaks, freeman, sugar, silver and red maples, honeylocust, crab apple, hackberry, apple service berry, and golden weeping willow. Mayor David Reid commented on the good and bad in Streifel’s report.“It’s sad to lose the trees, but the new ones will be more compatible,” he said. “Over time we’ll see some benefits once again.”

Parking at proposed apartment worries council Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

Anyone ready to criticize a development idea near downtown Arnprior had better get in line; members of council are first up. At the March 29 regular meeting, planner Robin Smith asked council to hold a public meeting about a proposed apartment building across from the Christian Education Centre on John Street North. Currently a single-family brick home beside an existing apartment complex, newer owner John Boef wants to convert the building into four apartments. He needs council to vote in favour of a zoning change from residential 1 to residential 3. Municipalities and higher levels of government are eager to see this type of development, called intensification or densification. It cuts down on the high infrastructure and environmental costs of urban sprawl, namely commuters on expensive roadways, along with expanded water and sewage pipework. The problem, in this case, is parking. Provincial government rules say a place with four apartments needs to have six parking spots. Boef’s drawing shows two spots on the existing driveway, plus four more on an unused driveway and garage

A son’s troubled life and a mother’s forgiveness Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

She is the first to admit to being a helicopter mom when her son Chris Walsh was small. He was a rowdy little guy, full of vim and vigour, ready to take on every adventure every child’s tiny universe can offer. So Diane Swaine felt justified in trying to shield him. “You’d always knew he was in the room. He was a rambunctious little boy,” said Swaine from her home just outside Arnprior on Monday, April 4. “I was always watching out to make sure nobody hurt my little boy. I was definitely an overprotective mother.” There are limits to how far a

Mothers are wise to realize, at some point, their children must live their own lives. Walsh led a troubled life, of that no one is pretending otherwise. His numerous demons reached back multiple generations, and crept out often with or without permission over his 29 years. His younger sister Melissa Walsh witnessed them; at times defiantly confronted them. His stepfather Murray Swaine tried to divert them elsewhere. His mother led the charge to beat them back. “We tried to get him help,” she said, two days after his death. “I fought for 13 years to get him help. But you have to want to help yourself.” Chris was alone on a dark country road last Saturday night when the lights of Stuart Carswell’s taxi came barrelling down on him. A passenger who knew Walsh rather well was in the car, it has been said. Such is life in small towns. Russett Drive in McNab-Brae-

side township, site of the accident, is about 10 kilometres from the Swaine’s home. It’s not clear where Chris was walking to; the family decided the previous Tuesday he couldn’t stay with them any long. It is rumoured he was staying at a house in the area. He may have hitchhiked into the city earlier that day. He may have been lost in more ways then one. “I’d say we had hope, not confidence,” said Melissa, summarizing her brother’s situation from her mom’s busy living room. She was entertaining a cheerful little angelhaired girl, a two-year-old that Diane babysits in mornings. The toddler proved a welcome distraction. The phone and doorbell were in fine working order that morning. Calls of sympathy, generous portions of freezable meals. Diane said the community support has been overwhelming. Chris went to the former Alexander Reid Public School. He lived

within walking distance. His father Michael was dutiful in taking the lad to hockey practices and games. A goaltender in the Arnprior Minor Hockey Association, Chris would eventually make it to a Packers team at the midget level. “He made a lot of good friends in hockey,” Diane said. “He was a happy boy with a big heart.” Except for the time, she said with a chuckle, when he was playing hockey in her hometown of Miramichi - a former logging town on New Brunswick’s east coast - where he got into a fight with the opposing team’s goaltender. “They met at centre ice,” Diane said, shrugging her shoulders. *** Substance abuse manifests itself in different ways.

Demons pushed away family, drew in afflictions Continued from page 6

Others overindulge out of sheer boredom: the meaninglessness of working to pay bills, the quiet desperation of suburban life. Still others seem born to be addicts. It is in their DNA. Just as some are born with blue eyes or a knack for the arts, some are born with sensitive triggers to addition. Of course, most addicts are a potent cocktail of all three. But in Walsh’s case, his family is convinced the addiction was more physiological than anything else. It started with stealing booze from his father. That caused an estrangement that lasted too many years. Then it moved to other family members and friends. Smoke from burning bridges followed him, and sent signals to those who would do him harm. They eventually outnumbered those whom he loved and was loved by best. Walsh was often bullied in high school, Melissa and Diane said, especially at Sir Guy Carleton in Ottawa. Coincidentally enough, the bullying seemed to lessen the taller he grew. “He was a protector with a heart of gold,” Diane said. “He would never rat out a friend, never say a bad word about anybody.” At 1.8 metres (6 feet 2 inches), Walsh was formidable. And when he was abusing, he could be violent. But even the greatest fighters fall. Diane recalls the time a couple of years back when drug dealers beat him up

Even the better angels of his nature could work against him. Chris was selfless to a fault. More than the time he gave $5 for someone to go to Dairy Queen, he would often give away everything he had as if to atone for the demons. “If he had it, you’d get it,” Melissa said. “He was a giver, not a taker.

“Chris loved me and Melissa very much, and he looked up to Murray,” Diane said. “I think he hoped to take over the business someday.” *** Diane explained that Chris came home from out west to “try and clean himself up” before returning. He wanted to be in Castlegar, B.C. with the mother of his four-monthold baby boy. He grasped glimmerings of a future. Karen Giesbrecht is round-faced, merry spirited social worker. The two connected immediately. “She thought she could change him,” Diane said. “She’s an amazing girl. I’ve spoken to her for hours on the phone.” Chris was determined to straighten out and be the father he always hoped to be. The absence of his own dad intensified the longing to be a better one. His baby boy’s future was altered irrevocably on that dark country road. Did the new father stumble in front of Carswell’s car, or did he lay unconscious on the ground, or was there some other scenario? The family didn’t go into details. Police couldn’t say why he was on that road. They have reason to believe Carswell should have known to stop and return to the scene, hence the charge of “failure to remain at the scene of an accident causing death.” See ACCIDENT on page 10

OPINION

No time to stay silent

Arnprior area residents canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been given opportunities to become informed and provide input on the major issues of the day. April seems to be the month for public meeting in Arnprior this year. Unfortunately, not enough people usually take advantage of the public sessions to enlighten authorities as to what they should be doing. While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too late to attend the public school boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents meeting, as it was held Tuesday, you still have time to attend meetings on two dramatically different, but equally important issues: the future of Gillies Grove and physician assisted dying. The former was originally scheduled to be the focus of a meeting Wednesday, but because of the dangerous driving conditions caused by an unwelcome spring snow storm, the public information session was postponed. Stay tuned for the new date and try to fit it in your busy schedule. Gillies Grove has a special place in the hearts and minds of Arnprior area residents. Many dedicated citizens put a great deal of time and money into saving this gem for future residents to enjoy. The public owes it to them to stay engaged in ensuring the Grove is protected for generations to come. A public forum on physician assisted death is scheduled for next Thursday, April 14 (weather permitting) at 6 p.m. at the Grove (the nursing home not the forest). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an easy topic to address, but is an important one, so give organizers of the Arnprior meeting a lot of credit. After all, we all have to face death. And how humanely society deals with passing over goes a long way toward determining our humanity. Public meetings, such as the one in Arnprior next week, could go a long way toward determining how we proceed. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unfair for people to ignore the matter and foist the burden on doctors and other health care professionals. Families need not only to engage in frank discussions about how they personally will face death, but speak out to help society as a whole to deal with the issue.

Miller Braeside Quarry expansion not settled yet Â To the Editor: It has been a year since the Ontario Municipal Board hearing into the expansion of the Miller Braeside Quarry and the proposed permanent asphalt plant. On Oct. 30 2015, the OMB ruled in favour of the local community by denying Miller permissions to put a permanent asphalt plant in this rural, residential neighbourhood. Needless to say, FACT-MB celebrated, having spent nearly 10 years opposing this industrialization. However, after the OMB decision was released, Miller wanted the wording of the decision â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;clarifiedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, but the OMB held firm on the wording of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;no asphalt plant.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Again good for us, but then Miller filed a motion with the Divisional Court to request leave (permission) to appeal the Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision. Generally, an OMB decision is final; you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appeal, unless it is on a question of law. In essence, Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motion argued that the Board member made errors of law and was biased. Of course, FACTMB opposed this motion. Once again, we have been fortunate to retain the services of the Canadian Environmental Law Association. Our CELA lawyers, Rick Lindgren and Ramani Nadarajah, wrote a brilliant factum, refuting the Miller position. The Townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer, Janet Bradley,

also wrote an excellent one. At the present time, we are awaiting the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision on the Miller motion. If Miller is given permission to appeal the OMB decision, then we must fight that appeal. The OMB decision further required that Miller redo its Quarry site plans in order to reflect the Board-ordered revisions and requirements. (The site plan is the quarry Bible and must be followed; so we have to make sure the changes are accurate and reflect the Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision.) This meant that once again we had to hire our hydrogeologist to study the revised site plans submitted by Miller. Therefore, FACT-MB is still

To the editor: I found it amusing and was shaking my head when I read the Arnprior Chronicle article (March 24) by Tiffany Lepack quoting Cheryl Gallant, our federal MP, about the Liberal government’s budget, which she stated had an “out-ofcontrol deficit.” How much control did the Conservatives have over their deficit spending over nine years? None, all outside factors, right? I say deficit spending is short term gain - not pain - then followed by future pain and she and I won’t be around to suffer the consequences. Gallant must own a crystal ball because she predicts a “debt of $732 billion in four years” - I don’t know, but I do know that her party added close to $140 billion to the debt over the last nine years. “This budget does nothing to help people in need,” she claims in her interview. Really? Nothing does she really mean nothing? If she took a better read, she would find that people in need like battered women, the unemployed, students, families with young children all receive increased funding.

Not impressed with her analysis. Why do politicians of all stripes try to mislead the public with halftruths and sometimes even outright lies – don’t tell me it’s for votes. Finally, Cheryl does say something we should take to heart and do something about. “The thing with debt and deficit is you eventually have to pay it back.” She adds, “it’s borrowed money to pay for the government’s promises.” Very true. I was a federal Member of Parliament from 1993-1997 (Reform Party ) and I argued for balanced budgets, even surplus budgets to allow us to pay down the huge debt at that time of $450 billion, which would reduce our annual interest payments and eventually leave more funds for programs. At least Paul Martin, the finance minister of that time, listened and made a good effort but to no avail. It’s 19 years later, our current debt is $650 billion and according to the prophet Gallant soon to be $732 billion and nobody seems to care. No worries, my great grandkids will handle it.

And yet, oddly, a press release from OPP spokeswoman Janice Sawbridge mentions the importance of practicing “personal safety at all times.” OPP were able to confirm, following the post mortem examination, that Chris was killed instantly. It may bring some solace to the family and driver. “We feel bad for him,” said Murray, referring to Carswell. “He’s going to go through a terrible, terrible time.” Diane cut in with, “I hope that people don’t give him a hard time. Just leave him alone. We don’t want

anything negative.” She said it is called an accident for a reason. Chris would not want negative comments about the driver circulating around town. Murray said little, besides the reference to Carswell. But it was he who first learned that Chris was the victim. Melissa saw online that a 29-year-old’s body was found near Arnprior. She called her mother to speculate on the worst. It wasn’t until the police pulled up to the house, when they approached Murray who was outside at the time, the truth was revealed. “I told them, ‘I know why you are here,’” he said. “I know why

Arnprior OPP report that on Monday, March 28 at 7:55 p.m., a woman attended the Arnprior OPP office to report being choked and threatened by a man after a verbal argument. The victim and accused are known to one another, say police. The woman was transported by paramedics to hospital for treatment of her injuries. Following the investigating, the accused turned himself into police. The 49-year-old was charged with assault, overcoming resistance by choking and uttering threats. He was released on a promise to appear in Renfrew court on May 4. On Thursday, March 31 at 2:50 p.m., a pedestrian was struck on Raglan Street near the library in down-

The rear-end collision pushed the stopped vehicle forward into the pedestrian, knocking her to the ground. She suffered serious injuries and was transported by paramedics to hospital. The suspect vehicle fled the scene and was followed by witnesses who provided the licence plate and suspect description to officers. Following their investigation, police have issued a warrant for the arrest of Patrick McPhie, 21, of Pontiac Que. He is charged with failing to remain at a collision causing bodily harm and take motor vehicle without consent.

Finches are on the move now that spring is here Anyone who is still feeding birds has likely noticed a noticeable increase in birdfeeder activity over the past week. With temperatures going through wild fluctuations, birds are feasting to keep up energy reserves. And there are many species on their way back north, stopping locally to rest and eat before they complete the next leg of their journey. In particular, a number of finches have recently arrived. An interesting feature of these seed-eating birds is that most species sport the same appearance year-round. Pine Siskins, which have arrived in droves, are little brown birds with heavily streaked breasts, with their only other colour being lines of yellow in their wing feathers and splashes of yellow in their tail. Their tiny bills are ideal for plucking minute seeds from nyger feeders, which they do with prodigious enthusiasm and copious chatter. Slightly larger are Purple Finches. Now, for those starting off in the bird identification game, female Purple Finches give no clue as to how they got their name. They are brown and look like oversized sparrows. Their breasts are heavily

Landslide sends debris into Bonnechere, Ottawa rivers Sherry Haaima

sherry.haaima@metroland.com

It’s unlike anything that’s ever happened before in the area, say officials. Emergency officials in Horton Township and Renfrew had a hectic few days last week after a landslide along the Bonnechere River caused flooding that washed away a cottage and floated piles of debris into the Ottawa River. “It’s far worse than any floods we’ve experienced here, to anybody’s recollection,” said Renfrew development and works director Mike Asselin. Steve Osipenko, Horton Township’s community emergency management co-ordinator (CEMC), has been monitoring the situation. “On March 29, around 2 a.m., Renfrew Power Generation (RPG) was alerted through their system that the water seemed to be high at the Renfrew end,” said Osipenko. Officials then searched around trying to figure out why. There are a few areas known to experience blockage that are generally cleared without issue, he said. When officials reached the area of the first chute, they could see that almost no water was coming through and under Highway 17, they noted the water was high. “When first light came we all started checking through the properties and found where it was blocked, at the end of Ferguson Road,” said Osipenko. “At the end of that road, it’s all private property.” What they found was that a landslide had occurred, flowing dirt, trees and other vegetation into the river. Once the situation has stabilized, officials will be able to use GPS to figure out just how extensive the damage is but Osipenko estimates about 25 acres of property slid into the river. “The whole bank slid into the river,” he said. “Some were 50-foot high banks.” The land is known to contain Leda clay, he explained, which is unstable soil known to be susceptible to slides. A seismic event or the freeze/frost cycle and oversaturation of water could have triggered the slide, said Osipenko. The large deposit of material caused the river to back up. “The water was backed up about 25 feet above where

The former Lindsay House below Renfrew’s Swinging Bridge, was also affected, experiencing the highest water since the dam has been there. “Apparently it went seven feet up the wall,” said Osipenko. “The water was actually a foot from touching the road.” He urged the public to stay away from affected areas, including in Horton Township. “The area is very unstable and nobody should go in there so please don’t go in and try and have a look at it,” he said. “It’s private property and it’s a safety hazard.” There were some minor slides over the weekend as the banks stabilized themselves, reports Osipenko. “We will be reassessing the entire river from downstream of Renfrew SUBMITTED tomorrow hopefully,” he said on A still shot from the Renfrew County Paramedic drone shows debris clogging the Bon- Monday, April 4. nechere River following Tuesday’s landslide. “There has been much inquiry from geologists and other emerit normally is,” he said.

Emergency system worked well, say officials

Ottawa River flooding possible: regulators

From page 13

“We’ve made plans in our emergency planning. It worked fine, the communication was great,” said Osipenko. Emergency officials had some high tech help in managing the problem. “The paramedic service has a drone,” explained Osipenko, who is also a Renfrew County paramedic. “We called it in and were going to use it to try and find out where the plug was.” As they had already discovered the blockage, they used the drone to survey the area to check for further debris, jams, bank slides and assess the severity of the damage. “As an emergency management tool it was unbelievably helpful and way cheaper than an $11,000 helicopter,” said Osipenko. The drone will be used in the ensuing days to monitor the area and further assess the situation. RPG manager Shawn Cameron agreed that the emergency management system worked well.

A large tree, likely from the Bonnechere River, floats down the Ottawa River off Sand Point. At right, the boat launch on the Bonnechere River at Castleford was flooded after the landslide on March 29. RPG was alerted to the situation when the water became too high to generate power, he noted. The system is then subsidized through Hydro One, meaning lost revenue for Renfrew Hydro. “We came back online yesterday at noon,” said Cameron March 31.

“We experienced some flooding to our power house. Plant two was submerged about four-to-fourand-a-half feet and we did have water in the basement of our new plant but we were able to deal with that with just pumps.” Officials are certainly pleased

there was no damage to the just opened Thomas Low Generating Station, he added. The situation is unlike anything Cameron has ever experienced. “In the history of Renfrew Hydro, nothing like this has ever happened,” he said.

The cold weather has slowed the melt, but the Ottawa River Regulating Committee has issued a caution about possible high flows in the Ottawa River and its tributaries. In a release last week, the committee reported the combination of heavy rainfall and snow melt in early April may result in significant increases in water levels and flows. Committee officials warned residents in low-lying areas along the shores of the Ottawa River of the possibility of minor flooding within the next few days, depending on the amount of rain received, During this “critical period,” the committee says it will take all possible actions to limit the amount of flooding and will continuously monitor conditions at all points along the river. Residents in the area can obtain current information on Ottawa River levels by calling 1-800778-1246. The information is also available online at http://www.ottawariver.ca.

Benefit dance on April 15 to support baby Evelyn Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@metroland.com

Little Evelyn Furniss is a beautiful eightmonth-old baby girl. Sadly her life has not been easy as her family and doctors try to figure out what exactly is wrong with her. In February she was admitted to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) due to non-stop seizures. She spent weeks in the intensive care unit. From early on things just didn’t seem right; she didn’t have the same strength as other children of similar age. She has been tested for about 80 different syndromes and diseases. Now her parents, Melanie and Jeff Furnissas wait to see what the results will be. The couple lives on River Road between Arnprior and Renfrew and are well known in both communities. They have also found out is her cerebellum, which is essentially the hard drive of a person’s brain, has stopped growing and will never grow again. She also has vision problems, which cannot be corrected with glasses or any other method. Friends and family are doing everything they can to support her parents as they prepare to face a huge financial burden. Evelyn has now been released from the hospital and Melanie cares for her aroundthe-clock with medical equipment from

SUBMITTED

A fundraiser has been planned to help the family of eight-month-old Evelyn Furniss who is suffering from an unknown medical condition. The dance will take place on Friday, April 15 at St. John Chrysostom Parish Hall in Arnprior. CHEO. A benefit dance is planned for Friday, April 15 at St. John Chrysostom Parish Hall in Arnprior at 8 p.m. Tickets are $5 each and can be bought at the door. Stephanie Schubrink is helping to plan the event. She worked with Melanie and they became

best friends and is Evelyn’s godmother. Both women were pregnant at the same time. “It rocks your world; we had all these dreams and visions and it shatters that,” said Schubrink. Friends knew they had to do something.

“As soon as we heard what was going on, we couldn’t sit here and do nothing. We knew we would be strong and bigger with more people involved,” said Schubrink. A number of local businesses have donated prizes for raffles and a silent auction, such as a barbecue from Rona, a guided muskie fishing trip on the Ottawa River from Valley Guiding and Outfitting, and a 2.5-hp motor by Urban Sport. Schubrink says they haven’t had anyone who doesn’t want to help. “We have had some incredible donations. It’s been really exciting. It’s awe-inspiring, it really brings everything together,” said Schubrink. “It makes you feel like you’re doing something good for someone who deserves it.” Milano’s Pizza in Arnprior is selling an Evelyn Special, any size/kind of pizza Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and $1 from proceeds go directly to the family. Schubrink feels everyone is really working together. “I think if we start helping one family it shows that the community is stronger in numbers and it takes a village to make things happen,” she said. Organizers are still looking for donations. “Anything helps, we won’t say no.” To donate, contact Schubrink via e-mail at plascott12@gmail.com. Donation jars are also set up at the White Lake Store and the Pakenham General Store.

Dozen new hires expected to ease Ottawa use of local ambulances Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The need to use Renfrew County ambulances and paramedics in Ottawa should be moderated by a decision by a city council to add a dozen new paramedics this year. During its March 23 meeting, City council unanimously approved the hires, as well as the buying of four emergency response vehicles for the Ottawa Paramedic Service. “This is a very important issue across the city and this is a core service that needs to be equivalent across all wards in the city, and this motion will help this balance out,” said Osgoode Coun. George Darouze, who seconded West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry’s motion calling for more immediate resources. The bid for change was to ensure council’s priority – and the community’s expectation – of delivering “quality paramedic services within established response times,” according to the motion. The decision to bring on more personnel and beef up the paramedic fleet is in response to a 23-per-cent increase in paramedic response volumes over the past five years.

The Trillium Gift of Life Network (TGLN) kicked off BeADonor month (April) by urging Ontarians to register their consent for organ and tissue donation and encourage others to do the same. There are more than 1,600 people waiting for a life-saving organ transplant and every three days someone dies waiting for one, points out the organization in a news release. Under a third (29 per cent) of Ontarians, 3.4 million out of an eligible 11.9 million, are registered donors. The TGLN notes that when families have evidence that their loved one wanted to be an organ donor, they are more likely to consent. Where there is no proof, families consent only half of the time. “We often hear from donor families that their loved one’s gift has brought them solace in their grief,” said TGLN president Ronnie Gavsie. It takes two minutes at www. BeADonor.ca. Throughout BeADonor month, Ontario’s hospitals, schools, elected officials and community groups doing their part to inspire everyone to register and have the conversation about organ and tissue donation.

The motion was also in response to concerns from rural residents, both inside and outside city boundaries, that ambulance service in their areas is being syphoned off to attend to urban demands. Renfrew County had asked for a meeting with city officials to share concerns about the increasing number of its ambulances, especially those from Arnprior and Renfrew, that had taken local patients into Ottawa only to have to stay there for hours at a time to handle city calls. County ambulances were also being used to respond to calls in the city’s rural areas, such as West Carleton, while ambulances from its stations are busy in the city core. “As a result of increasing response volumes, designated rural resources are often required to respond to the urban core where demand is greatest,” the city motion states. “Consequently, this creates a greater reliance on surrounding municipalities, which are then required to respond to the city’s rural wards.” Council was prompted to ask staff to review paramedic services to identify operational needs and efficiencies now and in the future. That review is expected to be completed this spring, but council recognized “an immediate need” for more paramedics

and the vehicles that will support them, according to the motion. The new hires, which represent a “partyear budget requirement of $780,000,” will be funded from the city’s provision for onetime and unforeseen expenses, while the cost of adding to the paramedic vehicle fleet is estimated at $260,000. Of that, $220,000 will come from the paramedic service’s development charge account, while the remaining $40,000 will come out of the citywide reserve fund. The review of the paramedic service and its future needs “will be considered by council prior to the development of the 2017 draft operating and capital budget city council approval,” El-Chantiry told his colleagues around the table. The question of how the expense will be divvied up between the city and the province was raised by Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. “As in our normal process, any additions we fund the first year and then the province automatically adds it to our base and funds their 50 per cent next year,” said Ottawa paramedic Chief Anthony Di Monte. Mayor Jim Watson thanked El-Chantiry, Darouze as well as Gloucester-South-

The money was raised at a bingo hosted by the Optimists March 4 for the effort to attract more doctors to the Arnprior area. The Physician Recruitment Committee encourages other companies and organizations to donate the proceeds of their fundraising events to the cause. Anyone who would like to partner with the committee in a fundraiser should contact physician recruitment co-ordinatory Laura Tromp at 613-6233166, ext. 590.

Locals keep getting called by Revenue Canada scammers Ontario Provincial Police wrapped up its Fraud Prevention Month awareness campaign in March by urging citizens to confirm who you’re dealing with before

OPEN HOUSE - SUNDAY APRIL 10TH 2-3:30 PM 25 SHORT ROAD, ARNPRIOR

A DEFINITE 10! GENEROUS SIZED FAMILY HOME, 3+2 BEDROOMS, 2.5 BATHS, MAIN FLOOR FAMILY ROOM, FULLY FINISHED LOWER LEVEL, ENCLOSED REAR YARD. MLS #981626 OFFERED AT $344,900 YOUR HOST DONNA DEFALCO 613-979-2601

sending any money anywhere for any reason. The warning comes as calls from fraudsters claiming to be from Revenue Canada increase dramatically in the runup to income tax deadline at the end of April. A 84-year-old White Lake woman reports getting calls from a threatening ‘tax man’ twice in one day. He unsuccessfully tried to extort supposed tax money owed from her, but she rebuffed the attempts and phoned police. However, she notes her son, who received a similar call, gave out his social insurance number, before realizing it was a scam. Another area resident was advised by police to call Phonebusters to report scam calls said the organization is receiving so many complaints it took her 45 minutes to get through them. In the income tax scam, the criminals extort money from victims by telephone, mail, text message or email, a fraudulent

communication claiming to be from the Canada Revenue Agency requesting personal information such as a social insurance number, credit card number, bank account number, or passport number. Fraudsters are either phishing for your identification or asking that outstanding taxes be paid by a money service business or by pre-paid debit/credit cards, explain police. They may insist that this personal information is needed so that the taxpayer can receive a refund or a benefit payment. Cases of fraudulent communication could also involve threatening or coercive language to scare individuals into paying fictitious debt to the CRA. Other communications urge taxpayers to visit a fake CRA website where the taxpayer is then asked to verify their identity by entering personal information. “These are scams and taxpayers should never respond to these fraudulent communications nor click on any of the links provided,” stress the OPP.

The OPP report the Canadian Revenue Agency fraud drew 15,091 complaints, resulting in 751 identified victims who lost a combined $2.49 million last year. Yet police admit 95 per cent of the crimes go unreported. This year, the number of such scam calls have skyrocketed. As well, OPP report that in 2015 the emergency (or grandparent) scam claimed 474 Canadian victims who lost nearly $2.5 million from more than 1,100 complaints. If you or someone you know suspect they’ve been a victim of the Emergency Scam or someone posing as a Canada Revenue Agency official, hang up and contact your local police service. You can also file a complaint through the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), or online at https://www.tipsubmit.com/ start.htm.

Former councillor launches company Jake Davies

Arnprior native and former town councillor Eric Burton is putting his love of community building and expertise in economic development together to launch his new national company, the Factor 5 Group. Burton understands firsthand how important creativity and flexibility is when coming up with a sustainable economic development strategy in a small town. While living in Arnprior, Burton and his family were community leaders. As well as being a councillor, he spent time as director of the United Way Ottawa Valley board and the Ottawa Valley Tourism Association, was founding director of the Partners in Caring Foundation in support of Arnprior Regional Health, and was one of the leaders in creating the economic development department supporting the Town of Arnprior and its business community. After four years as a Town of Arnprior councillor (2006 to 2010), Burton moved with his family out west to work for the government of Alberta in the field of regional and economical development. He provided support to 50 regional stakeholders in the development, implementation and administration of economic development programs and led the development of a

This strategy helped strengthen the longterm economic capacity of the region through diversification. The Economic Developers Council of Ontario Conference and Showcase (EDCO 2016) Feb. 2 to Feb. 5 in Toronto was the perfect event for the sustainable economic development consulting firm Factor 5 Group to showcase its talent and introduce itself

to eastern Canada. The 59th annual conference is a gathering place for Ontario’s leaders in economic development as well as municipal representatives looking for a creative idea to spark growth in their communities. The conference was also host to some of the most successful business leaders in the world including the women credited with resurrecting and revitalizing the Hudson’s Bay Company, CEO Bonnie Brooks; land developer Roger

Brooks, CEO of Roger Brooks International; Canarm CEO David Beatty; and many others. “Execution trumps strategy,” Bonnie Brooks told the attendees. That’s the same message Burton shared with municipal leaders from across Ontario when discussing the work Factor 5 Group has already done for communities in Alberta. “Factor 5 Group is a nationally registered social enterprise designed to co-create sustainable economies,” Burton explained. “We assist governments, businesses and organizations in achieving shared economic development outcomes while delivering on their environmental, social and cultural responsibilities to the greater community. Our outcome based approach allows for creativity while maintaining clear performance measures. As a result, we have a deep and lasting impact through the success of our clients. “Our philosophy is that economic development is optimized when the five factors converge: economy, environment, culture, society and politics. To support our clients in achieving economic convergence, we combine the textbook precision of the profession with the creativity of the digital age.

Manufacturer moving to larger premises CCI Balconies moves from Ottawa to bigger quarters on 5th Avenue in Arnprior Just 18 months since launching its business, CCI Balconies is moving to more spacious premises in Arnprior. A Town of Arnprior news release explains the high efficiency balcony system manufacturer needs more space to accommodate its current success and future expansion plans. The company announced last week it is moving from Ottawa to a plant on 5th Avenue in Arnprior to take advantage of the area’s skilled industrial labour force and easy access to main transportation routes. Accompanying CCI Balconies to its new location is the custom composites manufacturer and sister company Competition Composites. For more than 15 years Competition Composites has been building specialized composite parts for the marine, military, aerospace and telecommunications industries. “CCI and CCI Balconies are an excellent employment addi-

tion to Arnprior’s diverse and highly skilled industrial profile,” said Mayor David Reid. “Town staff have been working with CCI over the past few months to assist with their relocation and we look forward to continuing to work together as they grow their business.” CCI Balconies develops a composite balcony system for high- and low-rise buildings that dramatically decreases the amount of energy lost where a balcony connects to an apartment unit. With a growing client list and pending certification, the company anticipates that the product’s energy efficiency (as well as its strength, durability, and design options) will make composite balconies the preferred choice in the industry. For more information on CCI Balconies and Competition Composites, visit www.ccibalconies.com and www.fastcomposites.ca respectively.

Arnprior Fire Trucks to supply pumper to Carleton Place Staff

Arnprior Fire Trucks has won a contract to supply a custom pumper fire truck for the Town of Carleton Place. The town had originally ordered the truck last April from hometown Eastway 911, but the company unexpectedly closed its doors at the end the year. The emergency vehicle, to be built on a 2016 Spartan chassis and priced at $448,100, was to be delivered in November, and the

municipality had already paid a 20 per cent deposit. Seeking a solution, the town approached three well known suppliers for pricing on available trucks and two manufacturers, including Arnprior Fire Trucks, that indicated they would be able to expedite the construction of a vehicle. Proposals from Arnprior Fire Trucks and Eastway Emergency Vehicles were based on making use of the Spartan cab and chassis ordered under the original

Eastway 911 contract. Already built vehicles were offered by Darch Fire Equipment, Dependable Emergency Vehicles and Carrier Centers Emergency Vehicles. The bids ranged from $448,000 to $558,863, but council decided at its March 22 meeting on the Arnprior Fire Trucks tender of $506,000. The town anticipates receiving the pumper in four months, noting the company has promised to expedite the order as much as possible.

“The results are economic development solutions that go beyond the written report and live in the hearts and minds of the community.” Factor 5 Group’s unique philosophy and proven economic development strategies set the company apart from the competition. Communities across Canada are struggling to find new ways to create economic opportunities in a country that has been stalling economically for the last few years. Factor 5 says it understands there is no cookie-cutter template that can be all things to all communities. Instead, the company focuses on grassroots community building and develops customized, “winning strategies unique to each individual client.” Factor 5 Group is committed to, not just providing an economic development strategy, but carrying out the action plan that drives the strategy - providing support and leadership until the clearly defined goals of the strategy are met. “Municipalities need to think beyond the officer in the office” approach and become more focused on achieving economic outcomes in the community - less paperwork, and more results,” says Burton. “Attendees to EDCO 2016 learned the new economy is rich in talent and ideas – the challenge is cultivating the entrepreneurial spirit to catalyze local opportunities.

It begins with strengthening of the entrepreneurial ecosystem of business services, investors, large companies, governments, colleges and universities so that entrepreneurs have the resources to lead the community into the future. ERIC BURTON

“This means supporting and celebrating local entrepreneurs in order to co-create a start-up culture in the community. “It begins with strengthening of the entrepreneurial ecosystem of business services, investors, large companies, governments, colleges and universities so that entrepreneurs have the resources to lead the community into the future.” The Factor 5 Group is comprised of a group of knowledgeable experts with a diverse set of skills and talents.

It shouldn’t come as much surprise that not one member of Arnprior town council made this year’s provincial sunshine list of public sector workers earning over $100,000. Council voted in favour of the “2015 statement of remuneration and expenses paid to council and local boards.” It is information from treasurer Jennifer Morawiec detailing the money given each councillor, along with those on the appointed committee

of adjustment. It passed without comment. It cost taxpayers about $131,000 in salary for town council last year, and $3,300 in benefits and expenses. Mayor David Reid was highest paid at almost $32,000 plus benefits and expenses (of about $7,400). Reeve Walter Stack and Coun. Dan Lynch were next at almost $17,000 ($2,700). Coun. Lynn Grinstead made almost $17,000 (almost $5,000). Councillors Ted Strike, Tom Burnette, and Frank

Dugal were paid just over $16,000 (about $5,000). Committee members Murray Chown, Ken Deluca, and Carol Ruddy were each given $300. David Moore got $150. In the past, Stack has argued municipal politicians should be paid more. Too often, he maintains, elected officials are retirees with the time and means to participate. To get a wider demographic involved, the pay should be bumped up to make it worthwhile for younger people still in the workforce.

Gov’t funding impacts local economies: report Funding provided to small- and medium-sized businesses in Ontario’s rural and northern communities through the Community Futures Program has generated significant economic and employment growth, according to a new Conference Board of Canada report. The report, ‘More Bang for the Buck: The Impact of CFDC Lending on Ontario’s Economy’, assesses the economic impact of the lending services provided through the Community Futures Program, which has been active helping businesses in Renfrew County. The report finds that, for every dollar of lending through the program, Ontario’s real gross domestic product (GDP) is lifted by as much as $4.50. From 2009 to 2014, the program provid-

ed $398 million in loans to small businesses in Ontario. The reports indicates the Community Futures Program lending service helped offset some of the effects of the recession, boosting employment by roughly 3,300 in 2010 and 2011. The report concludes the impact of lending on overall capital investment is significantly increased through additional funds raised from owners’ equity and third-party lenders. A total of $1.142 billion in new capital investment funds were raised - with more than $746 million in spending due to investments from owner’s equity and funds borrowed from third-party lenders. The report is available from the Conference Board of Canada’s e-Library. R0013661777-0128

The gathering, which features a fashion show this year, runs from 1:303:30 p.m. at the St. John Chrysostom Parish hall on Albert Street. There will be tea, sandwiches, “decadent desserts,” a cocktail bar run by the Knights of Columbus, silent auction and door prizes. The fashion show organized by the A Dash Of Fab stores is expected to begin about 2:30 p.m. Organizers anticipate it will help attract more younger women to the tea. The spring tea is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the dragonboat team made up of breast cancer survivors. Spokeswoman Susan Reynolds says the group

is planning a busy year. As well as participating in the Arnprior Dragonboat Festival July 23, the team will be going to competitions in Carleton Place and Brighton among others. ITALY 2018

A possible long-term goal is to go to an international gathering in Florence, Italy in 2018. Thanks to the generosity of the White Lake Marina, the Chest Nuts’ dragonboat will be moored there rent-free again, giving the team ample opportunity to practice. Reynolds notes the group is looking for new members who have overcome cancer. Dragonboating has proven to be healthy and therapeutic and not too taxing for the survivors, she added. Tickets for the tea cost $20. For tickets or more information, call Jeanette at 613-622-0190 or Susan at 613-623-5822.

Former Lasers, Wolves coach to guide Packers season with Chris Mulvihill behind the bench. Mulvihill was with the team for three years and worked as an assistant before taking over as head coach. A post on the Wolves website and in several Valley publications announced the search: “We are accepting applications for the ‘head coach’ position for the upcoming 2016/17 hockey season. Please send your resume to renfrewjrwolves@gmail.com before April 22.” The Wolves are owned by Renfrew developer Derek McGrimmon.

Tony Iob: former pro player to coach Arnprior Packers well as the Olympic Games in 2006. He retired from professional hockey in 2009 after playing for 18 years and moved back to the Upper Ottawa Valley. Following his playing career, he took over coaching duties for his hometown Renfrew Timberowolves, helping them capture division titles in 2011 and 2013. At that time he worked closely with current Arnprior Packers general manager Brent Sylvester. He served as an assistant coach for the University of Ottawa in 2013-14 before becoming head coach of the Kanata Lasers halfway through the 2014-15 season. Meanwhile, the Renfrew Timberwolves are looking for a new bench boss. The Packers main rivals finished just out of a playoff spot in the 2015-2016

Wolves hunt for new coach The Arnprior Packers have their man, but the Renfrew Timberwolves are still looking for a new bench boss. The team, which plays in the Central Canada Hockey Tier 2 League, finished just out of a playoff spot in the 2015-2016 season with Chris Mulvihill behind the bench as the head coach. The Wolves finished the regular season in sixth place in the Richardson Division with 38 points and a record of 18-24-2. Mulvihill was with the team for three years and worked as an assistant before that. In 2011 the Wolves won the Valley Division under the leadership

of coach Tony Lob, who was recently announced as the new head coach for the Arnprior Packers. A post on the Wolves’ website and in several Valley publications announced the search. “We are accepting applications for the ‘head coach’ position for the upcoming 2016/17 hockey season. Please send your resume to renfrewjrwolves@gmail.com Before April 22, 2016. Successful candidates will be contacted for an interview.” In February the entire coaching staff and trainer was removed from the Timberwolves website under the coaching staff section.

NEW SCOUT

The Packers have gained a new scout and lost a thorn in their side all at the same time. The Packers announced last week that they have added 50-goal scorer Scott Conroy to their scouting staff. The 21-year-old Pembroke native led the Renfrew Timberwolves with 50 goals and 46 assists last season. A graduate of the Ottawa Valley Aces system, Conroy, a left-wing, scored 148 goals in five seasons with the Wolves and also put in time with the CCHL Pembroke Lumber Kings. The Packers will hold a free agent camp April 15-16 at the Nick Smith Centre. Anyone interested in trying out should contact Sylvester by email at br17sylvester@gmail.com or by calling 613-312-7412.

A former professional hockey player and Olympian has been named as coach of the Arnprior Packers. The Central Canada Hockey League Tier II club announced last week that Tony Iob has appointed the team’s new head coach. He replaces Barry Cape, who guided the Packers to a playoff berth after being promoted from assistant to interim coach when Bill Griese was let go mid-way through the season. Iob was most recently coach of the CCHL’s Kanata Lasers, serving for the last season and a half, following in the footsteps of such well-known local hockey luminaries as Randy Pierce and Corey Foster. In announcing Iob’s appointment, the Packers note the 45-year old Renfrew native brings a wealth of knowledge to the table as both a player and coach and “will be looked at to bring structure and discipline to the Packers organization moving forward.” Iob played four seasons in the Ontario Hockey League with both the Kingston Frontenacs and Sault Ste.Marie Greyhounds where he skated in back-to-back Memorial Cup tournaments before turning pro. He was drafted by the Buffalo Sabres, but as a professional Iob spent the majority of his time overseas playing in Italy and Austria where he was high-scoring winger for several years. He represented Italy in four World Championships as

Domino’s Pizza raises money for UOV Ringette Domino’s Pizza in Arnprior along with three others in the Valley have partnered with Upper Ottawa Valley Ringette to raise $7,320 for the sports organization over the last two seasons. It is the largest amount raised so far through the Domino’s Pizza peel-a-deal program. It would not have been so successful without the commitment of staff at the Arnprior, Renfrew,

Pembroke and Petawawa stores along with parents, players, coaches, managers and the community. In a release announcing the results of the fundraising, Domino’s Pizza said it is “committed to community involvement and is proud to be a part of such a successful fundraising program” and wished good luck to all Valley ringette teams in year-end tournaments and playoffs.

Another successful ski race season comes to close Anne Lefebvre

Calabogie Ski Racing Club

Despite rainy days, freezes and thaws, Calabogie Ski Racing Club’s alpine athletes managed to conquer the slopes again this year. Thanks to the grooming efforts of Calabogie Peaks and Western Quebec’s ski hills and the tireless work of countless volunteers, races were held without a hitch despite the unfavourably warm winter weather. The U18 FIS racers closed their season at Mount Antoine in Mattawa. In championships, Tarik Hamrouni (Barrhaven) placed second overall with strong performances in Giant Slalom at Calabogie Peaks and slalom at Camp Fortune. Meanwhile, Alex Duff (Pembroke), Nicholas Caves (Barrhaven), and Jake Yantha (Combermere) went 1-2-3 in a Mount Antoine slalom March 27. Alex’s season is not quite over, as his

strong results in FIS racing this year led to the honour of him being selected to attend the Ontario Ski Team Selection Camp this month in Nakiska, Alberta. The U16 group travelled to Collingwood to compete at Provincials, then closed the season out with championships March 26-27. Pembroke racer Sam Duff’s four provincial podiums guaranteed him a spot at the CanAm races at Mont Tremblant featuring the best racers from all over Eastern Canada and the U.S. He then went on to win the overall CanAm Championship, sealing the deal with an 18th place in Super G, a third in GS, and a win in the Slalom. This, in turn, qualified him to join Team Canada at the Whistler Cup in British Columbia, where he will compete with the best 14- and 15-year-old racers from all over the world. Calabogie Ski Racing is incredibly proud to have one

Sean Swayze of Braeside also qualified for the CanAms after several top-15 finishes at Provincials. This is quite an accomplishment for a first-year U16 athlete. Sean also finished 10th for

first-years in the championship GS March 26 at Calabogie Peaks. The other U16s finished their season with some rather mixed results. Provincials provided a multitude of spectacular crashes, but not so many finishes. The U16 girls fared better.

Lauren Campbell-Brunke (Renfrew) pulled off a seventh-place GS finish at Provincials, while Alexa Loudiadis (Ottawa) skied to 15th in GS. Alexa also emerged the U16 second year female winner at championships while Lauren took the gold in Mount Antoine slalom. The U14 gang competed at Provincials in Collingwood March 12-16 and immediately followed up with Championships March 1920. The Provincials experience proved to be excellent preparation, as each of the racers excelled at Championships. Carp native Sam Alexander’s top 15s in Collingwood also earned him a spot at U14 CanAms in Sugarloaf, Maine. Luke Hansen (Renfrew) won both the GS at Camp Fortune and the slalom at Calabogie Peaks to come out as the overall champion. For the first year boys, Carson Lefebvre (Calabo-

gie) snagged the silver medal in GS, while Jeremy Van Grunsven (Odessa) placed third overall. The girls laid down their best runs of the season too. Bailey Stonham of Arnprior hit the podium for the first time with a fifth-place ribbon in first-year girls’ GS. Olivia D’Aoust (Kingston) was right behind her. The U12s finished off their season with a slalom at Vorlage March 19 and a GS at Edelweiss March 20. Louise Stonham (Arnprior) carved to second place in the slalom and Carly Alexander (Carp) placed 15th in the GS. Marissa Cannon (Ottawa), Nicole Duff (Pembroke) and Sarah McKittrick (Kanata) all had strong slalom races. Finally, the U10s topped off their races with Championships March 12-13. Thomas Carnahan (Ottawa) won the overall championship with victories in slalom and GS.

Food bank depends on volunteers, community donations Pat Tait, volunteer team leader Arnprior and District Food Bank

The Arnprior and District Food Bank has had a very busy year. In 2015 it was open 39 days to serve our clients. The demand on the food bank is greater than it has ever been, but we are fortunate to live in this generous community, which has responded in kind.Â As a result we have seen more donations this past year than ever before. Many companies, churches, organizations and private citizens have been there, over and over again, to help us help those in need. Without all of these people, we could not serve the community as well as we have. We also keep our volunteers very busy doing the work that needs to be done â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from pick-up and delivery of donations; repackaging vegetables, meat, dairy and other goods; purchasing and pick-up of staple items; counting, logging, date-checking and shelving the incoming inventory; and, of course, working with our clients to fulfill their food requirements. We also have two very important offshoot projects emerging from the food bank. During the winter months, we

house a Snowsuit Fund, where jackets and other winter outerwear is available for those in need. Our volunteer Helen Schefter coordinates all aspects of this huge endeavour, including the cleaning of gently used items, and the purchasing of new outerwear. As well, we have the School Snack program, and are grateful for this projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary sponsor, St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Evangelical Lutheran Church. This program was launched by our recently retired president, Kathy Tonkin, and currently the food bank is able to give out healthy snacks for all the school-aged children of our clients. Kathyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy at the food bank is huge, and we miss her deeply. Supported by our board of directors, housed through the generosity of St. John Chrysostom Roman Catholic Church, and maintained by our hardworking 22 volunteers, we are able to direct all our efforts to those who need it most. This is so important, especially in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic climate across Canada. The volunteers at the Arnprior and District Food Bank co-ordinated and delivered an increased number of Christmas packages in December over the year before. As well, we have had an eight per

Over 7 decades ago, a dashing young man from Renfrew convinced a British Belle from Sussex-by-the-Sea, England, to marry and come to Canada. Together, they set out on a voyage of love, happiness and adventure that continues still. On Wednesday, April 6, 2016, Bill and Peggy Campbell celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary. Bill and Peg are loved and admired by all family and friends; their partnership and commitment to one another inspires everyone around them. “Happily ever after” does exist, they are living proof. Congratulations on this momentous occasion. Love your family: Judith, Peter, Paul, Geneva, Dana, Robert, Billy, Sue and Bo

IN MEMORIAM

Since You’ve Been Gone Since you’ve been gone, the years have passed, We miss you every day. Since you’ve been gone, the time has changed, our lives in many ways. And looking back we saw the way you kept our family strong. But things just aren’t the same, since you’ve been gone. Since you’ve been gone, we’ve missed you so, the sorrow still inside. Since you’ve been gone, so many nights we’ve thought of you and cried. Although they say that time will heal, It’s time for moving on, Our hearts have not been whole, since you have gone. Love, Kathleen & all of our family.

IN MEMORIAM

PRINCE, Frank – In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather who passed away April 5, 2007. Alone, but never quite alone, But sometimes in the silence, I imagine he is there, My companion for so many years, No longer here with me, And yet in some mysterious way, He keeps me company. Love and missed, Doris, Children and Grandchildren

In loving memory Brian Jeffrey Craig Sept 27, 1964 – Apr 6, 2010 The moment that you died Our hearts were torn in two, One side filled with heartache, The other died with you. We often lay awake at night When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane With tears upon our cheeks. Remembering you is easy, We do it everyday But missing you is, heartache, That never goes away We hold you tightly within our heart, And there you will remain, Until someday we’ll be together again. Mom & Dad Ken, Kim, & Penny

Kitty proved to be a real good ‘mouser’ at Mary’s house Mother said if she lived to be 100, she’d never get used to the common housefly or the mice, both of which were in ample supply on our farm in Renfrew County. The flies, fortunately, were only around in warm weather, but the mice had no respect for the seasons, and it didn’t seem to matter if the snow was knee deep, or we were gasping for air on a hot summer day, the mice had minds of their own. In the cold weather, our summer kitchen kept our food chilled or frozen. An old table sat in the middle of the floor, and Mother was always frightened a wayward mouse would climb up a table leg, and help itself to whatever was there. Her solution was to have Father fill four tobacco tins with coal oil and put one under each leg of the table. Any mouse daring to reach the top of the table had a fatal bath in the coal oil, and the food was safe. Of course, this only worked in the summer kitchen. Inside the house was another matter. No one knew how they got into the house, but it wasn’t unusual, while we sat around the kitchen table at night, to see a tiny mouse scurry across the floor, or run tight against the baseboards. And Mother, who could sense a mouse a mile away, would fly into a state of hysteria, demand Father get the

kitchen, and in the house. Mother was on constant alert, and since she hated mousetraps as much as she hated the mice, catching the little critters seemed to be the only solution. That is, until that night at supper, Father, who my sister Audrey said later, brought up the subject on purpose, said how he saw Kitty snare mouse after mouse in the barn. “She’s a real mouser, that one is,” he said, without taking a pause between mouths full of supper. “Never saw anything like it, and I’ve lived on this here farm forever ... but that Kitty sure can catch a mouse if one happens to cross her path. She is sure cutting down on the mouse population.” Mother, with a fork half way to her mouth, asked Father if he was sure it was Kitty. He said he caught her in the act at least a dozen times. It was probably more coincidence than anything else, but that night, at least three mice interrupted our card game at the kitchen table. By the time, they were chased out into the woodshed, or knocked senseless with the broom, it was bedtime. The whole evening had been wasted battling the mice. The very next morning, just before we headed for school, Mother said she thought

broom, order the brothers onto the chase, and chaos rained until the mouse was either caught, or found a means of escape. Silently, I rooted for the mouse. Now, Mother would not allow any dogs or cats in the house. “They belong in the barn,” she’d say when I would beg to bring in one of my pets, which included a hoard of cats, one I especially like and simply called Kitty, or our old Collie dog, which, like just about every other dog in Northcote, was called Sport. Father, a third generation on our farm, told stories of the pets he had as a young boy, and how the dogs and cats were just as comfortable in the house as they were in the barns. But Mother wouldn’t budge. They belonged in the barn, and that’s all there was to it. Spring was breaking early that year, and for some unexplained reason, we were seeing more mice than usual, both in the summer

it was time Kitty was brought into the house, where she’d be trained to sleep in a box beside the stove, eat in her own dish (heaven forbid that a cat would eat out of a bowl we used at the kitchen table), and if she was caught within a mile of one of our beds, she would be banished back out to the barn. My sister Audrey said she was sure Kitty could read Mother’s mind. “Cats are pretty smart, you know,” she said, and who was as thrilled as I was that, finally, I could have one of my pets in the house. No one knew what Kitty did with the mice she caught. Like a night burglar, most of her action was when we were in bed, but ever after, our house was free of mice. And Mother, on occasion could be seen dropping a piece of salt pork, or a spoonful of gravy into Kitty’s dish in gratitude. Finally, the mouse problem was under control. Sadly, nothing was discovered that could rid the house of the common housefly, which remained the bane of Mother’s existence all the time we lived on the farm in Renfrew County.

Metroland East vice-president Mike Mount announces retirement Ashley Kulp

akulp@metroland.com

Metroland Media lost a community newspaper champion April 1 when its Metroland East vice-president and regional publisher closes his office door one last time. Mike Mount recently announced his retirement in mid-March, noting it was the right time to step away from the company he helped grow in order to spend more time with his wife and three daughters, as well as pursue other interests. “The short-term plan is to give myself some time and see what interests surface,” he remarked. “I’ve enjoyed my entire career and I hope

I will find that next thing in life, both personally and professionally.” Torstar’s Peter Bishop, who came on board with Metroland East in March, will take over for Mount. “I have every confidence in his ability to continue to lead our region in a professional and progressive way,” Mount said of Bishop. The 53-year-old, who has a degree in mechanical engineering and Master of Business administration (MBA), first got his feet wet in the newspaper industry in 1993 thanks to his father Bob, who had owned the former Performance Printing Ltd. company in Smiths Falls for 15 years. Mike had formerly worked as a process engineer

MIKE MOUNT at Albany International in Albany, New York, where he lived with his wife Karen, who was born in the U.S. He surprised himself when he found he was com-

fortable in the smaller company. He immersed himself in different departments, including pre-press, customer service and helping improve the company’s technology. It was important for Mount to try and relate to the different departments to understand their challenges. Once he had put his time in, he was named vice-president and five years later, eventually president. It was under his guidance Performance Printing and the EMC group of community newspapers, saw great growth, going from a market that included Smiths Falls, Perth, Almonte/Carleton Place, Kemptville and St. Lawrence, to Ottawa, Kingston and Belleville.

In 2011, Mount faced a hard decision regarding Performance Printing’s future. It was a successful but small company and had connected with the Ottawa Citizen as a strategic partner for years, but he decided to take the company in a different direction. “The goal when I started to talk to Metroland was not to sell the company, but to secure a new strategic partner,” he explained. It’s a partnership he doesn’t regret. “Metroland is an excellent company and they are committed to newspapers, printing and media,” he commented. “I couldn’t have found a better partner and I feel fortunate it worked out for them and for us.” Addressing changes to the

industry, Mount feels there will always be a place for the community newspaper. “Newspapers and publishing is always about connecting to your customers and to an audience. There are lots of medias that can do that, but community newspapers are one of the strongest ways you can connect with people, particularly in smaller markets,” he said. “The changes to digital give more ways for people to access the information.” “Newspaper is still a way for us to connect to our communities,” he continued. “Our core business is really telling our communities’ stories to people interested in learning about them. That won’t change.”
