Early morning fire guts restaurant Blaze closes TOSH Steakhouse Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

Budding Artists Spring Show this weekend. – Page 16

NEWS

Anger explodes over escalating hydro bills. – Page 31

News – Arnold Smith’s wife was going to take him out to TOSH Steakhouse and Bar for his birthday. Now he lingers, on Monday morning, before the building on Staye Court Drive with his head hung low. Smoke still seeping out of the burned-out remains of the restaurant. Windows punctured and walls collapsed. “I guess I’m going to cancel my reservations,” he said, in a weak attempt at dark humour. Across the street behind him, in the Tim Hortons parking lot, a half dozen or more employees of the upscale restaurant gather in the chilly morning. They seem even less in the laughing mood. But it is in the parking lot itself where two figures - standing apart from firefighters and other emergency crews – are staring blearyeyed and incredulous at what’s left of their gastronomic dream. Owner Haley Rooney wasn’t ready to talk much about what may have happened early that morning, at about 3 a.m., when a passerby DEREK DUNN/METROLAND called 911 to report smoke. Arnprior residents arose Monday morning to the sad sight of the smoking ruins of the TOSH Steakhouse See FIRE Page 3

and Bar on Staye Court Drive. The fire started about 3:30 a.m.

Reid to seek a second term as Arnprior’s mayor Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

It’s National Volunteer Week. – Page 35

News – It is the announcement many voters and potential mayoral candidates have been waiting for: incumbent David Reid is vying for the town’s top job. “I have decided to run again,” Reid said during an embargoed interview at the Chronicle-Guide last Friday. He said he will formally announce his candidacy today, April 10. “I like what I’m doing and I think

there is more to be done.” Reid, a rookie to politics when he won his first term as mayor in 2010, confessed to not completely enjoying the job for about the first three years. There were the courses municipal politicians take to learn the legal aspects of the job. Then there was the financial mess left in the wake of the water billing fiasco. Add on to that the moves to replace numerous personnel at town hall. It made for trying times and tough decisions.

“Until we had the right people in place, it wasn’t fun,” Reid said. “Especially the personnel changes.” Those first couple of years after sweeping to office on a promise of change and promoting retail growth proved frustrating for some observers. While Reid and council were busying themselves with internal matters, some constituents were bemoaning the lack of tangible improvements and complaining the town was falling even further behind.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all very raw and fresh right now,â&#x20AC;? Rooney said, fighting back the tears. TOSH, short for The Olde Staye House, was a favourite in town. Renovated from floor to ceiling in stone, lush fabrics, soft leather, warm wood, and Italian chandeliers hanging in the dining rooms from the 25-foot cathedral, the spot was known for friendly service and on-trend menu items. It had a lounge and numerous televisions, usually turned to sports channels. TOSH also gave back with an annual ball hockey tournament for Special Olympics. Other fundraisers, such as the minor hockey leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trivia night, endeared the relatively new business to the community. Fire Chief John Okum, on Tuesday morning, was still without a theory as to the cause of the fire. He said crews fought the blaze from the exterior because it was smoke-filled and dangerous on the inside. Not much was saved. All day Monday was spent clearing out the building so firefighters can get inside and begin the investigation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing is suspected at this time. I know police interviewed staff who were working the night before,â&#x20AC;? Okum said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ontario Fire Marshallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office will take the lead. They are brought in any time damage exceeds $500,000. The building was insured. When owned by the Staye family, the building was said to have been a dance hall at one time. Alex Staye ran the hall and was a bus driver.

Major retail development could start this summer Winners Circle concerns donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t apply to White Lake Road site: developer Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Town council has a good problem to deal with in the upcoming weeks. Two major retail developments are soon ready to break ground. But they could be competing for the same tenants, giving rise to the prospect that one may gain advantage if it opens doors before the other. Members of council who spoke at the recent Winners Circle public meeting were enthusiastic about seeing the project, which is co-owned by Canadian Tire, move ahead. But at 86,000 square feet, it falls far short of the development across the highway beside the Antrim Truck Stop. It

is 245,000 square feet. According to the White Lake Road property owner, Wib Paul of Carp, the concerns surrounding Winners Circle donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t apply to his land. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can meet all the setbacks and all the bylaw restrictions,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s zoned and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s serviced and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready to go. The water and sewer lines were brought to the site back in 2004. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This could go forward as early as this summer.â&#x20AC;? PROTESTS

Paul has worked on bringing a power centre to the site for 10 years, but ran up against anti-boxstore protesters in 2009. He is encouraging council to go ahead with its â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;gap analysisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; this summer. It will show what the demand is in town, and whether or not two power centres in a town of 8,100 people can be profitable. Mayor David Reid said the Winners Circle development has also been on hold for many years, and all the studies needed have been done. Paul insists he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the discussion to be a his-or-theirs one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to see retail come to town. There are a million dollars leaving the town every week,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The White Lake Road development next to Antrim Truck Stop could be ready to break ground as early as this summer.

Past council, staff unfairly targeted, say former councillors john.carter@metroland.com

News – Two former Arnprior council members have taken exception to comments made by Reeve Walter Stack during discussion at the March 24 council meeting about commercial development in the Winner’s Circle area. Former mayor Terry Gibeau argues that the past council continues to be unfairly blamed by Stack and others for the demise of the SmartCentres project. Council actually voted 5-1 in favour of the rezoning needed by the development, he noted. As well, the last council paved the way for development of property off White Lake Road on the south side of the highway by extending water and sewer services there and expanding the capacities of the town’s water and sewer plants, he said. Former councillor Tom Peckett, who is running for McNab-Braeside mayor in this year’s election, took exception to Stack’s suggestion that he and Gibeau had “backed out” of a meeting on the SmartCentres project at the Nick Smith Centre. He maintained there were no public meetings on the topic at the Nick Smith Centre (there were a couple at the fire hall). Besides, as owner of the Sears franchise in the Arnprior Shopping Centre at the time, he was given legal advice to declare pecuniary interest (conflict-of-interest) and stay out of the debate, he added. “I had to leave the room every time Smart entres was on the agenda,” he explained. “To say we backed out of any meetings is an out-and-out lie.” Gibeau said the only meeting he might have missed on the issue was when he was representing the town at Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) conferences. He said all councillors, including Stack, knew that Peckett had been advised to excuse himself from any debate on SmartCentres so there wouldn’t be any perception of conflict of interest. Gibeau and Peckett maintain that it wasn’t lack of municipal leadership or dragging of council’s feet to avoid confrontation with the anti-box store lobby that caused the SmartCentres plans for a major commercial centre at the old driving range area to implode, but a variety of factors that came into play. The majority of the past council was supportive of commercial development in that area, as shown by its extension of services to the area, Gibeau said. However, council

Terry Gibeau: former council voted in favour of SmartCentres project. had to do its “due diligence” when dealing with the proposal, which did not face any delays out of the ordinary, he said. “There was a process we had to go through” and if council hadn’t done so properly, it would have ended up being forced to spend money on an Ontario Municipal Board hearing. Gibeau noted that a study commissioned by council indicated that there was room in Arnprior for more commercial space. However, the determining factor for business interests is always market conditions, he added. And by the time council voted positively on the rezoning of the area, the company was backing off, he said. “I wasn’t surprised it didn’t go ahead.” ECONOMIC DOWNTURN

Gibeau said that SmartCentres appeared to have thought that the Highway 17 fourlaning, including the White Lake interchange, was going to occur a lot faster than it did, he said. When it became clear it was still at least three years down the road, their interest in the project seemed to wane. At the same time, the economy started going into the tank and several commercial projects in Eastern Ontario and even farther afield were put on hold, he noted. “It wasn’t only happening in Arnprior.” Gibeau said that the contention it was

somehow council that nixed Wal-Mart’s efforts to locate in town is false. He said he called Wal-Mart’s official in charge of expansions at its U.S. headquarters and was told there was never any intention for the company to come to Arnprior. Wal-Mart’s policy was to have a store within a half-hour drive from every customer. With stores in Renfrew and Centrum in Kanata, with another on the way in Carleton Place, there was no need for an Arnprior outlet. Gibeau said a more likely development was one suggested by Canadian Tire that would have seen its expanded store and a Mark’s Work Wearhouse outlet adjoin the mall with the help of a strip of town property. However, Canadian Tire could not finalize a deal with the mall’s owner, he said. Gibeau said far from being anti-development, the last council paved the way for the Shoppers Drug Mart downtown, the Giant Tiger expansion, the moving of the Antrim Truck Stop to town and the building of the TSC hardware store. Officials from the latter were highly complimentary on how easy town staff and council were to work with, he added. MANY POSITIVES

Gibeau suggested that there has been a concerted effort to discredit past staff and council in Arnprior. Not only have some “good people” been hurt, it has cost Arnprior taxpayers more than $400,000 in severance and back pay, he maintains. While mistakes were made, former council and staff had plenty to be proud of, he said. That included accessing more than $100 million in federal and provincial capital grants from 2002 to 2010, having the vision to expand the town’s water and sewer services, being one of the first municipalities to embrace water infrastructure changes in the wake of Walkerton, early completion of budgets and tenders that saved money, seven years of peace with McNab-Braeside, and saving more that $4 million by questioning police costs and putting the OPP contract on hold. Gibeau pointed out that an Arnprior negotiating committee comprised of Jack Lammert, Tom Peckett, and himself worked with other municipalities and provincial officials, paving the way for the rationalization of policing costs that is finally being realized next year. In fact, many accomplishments of the

News – It appears the building of a hydro-electric dam on the First Chute of the Bonnechere River in Horton will go ahead. In an news release last Friday, the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) announced it has recently signed contracts for three new-build waterpower projects owned by Ontario municipalities, including the project on the Bonnechere River just upstream where it meets the Ottawa River. The 1.7-megawatt dam had been proposed by Renfrew Power Generation. The other two projects are in St. Catharines and Ottawa.

current council are rooted in the efforts of its predecessors, said Gibeau. It would be better for all concerned “if there was less effort expended in discrediting past staff and council members and more expended looking forward with a positive attitude,” he added. Peckett noted that as it’s possible both he and Stack could be sitting alongside one another on Renfrew County council after the October election, as well as trying to resolve the recreation and library impasse between the two municipalities, it is counterproductive for the reeve to take shots at him. “Using that kind of language does not help the situation,” he said. “It just gets people riled up. We may not like each other, but let’s not get petty … as we may have to work together for the good of all our ratepayers.”

Incumbent to run again: ‘There’s a lot more to be done’ Continued from front

In council’s defence, the chief administrative officer’s position would have been filled earlier than it was if the chosen candidate hadn’t quit for family reasons before his first day on the job was over. It was back to posting want ads for the bureaucracy’s top job. “Maybe it was meant to be. I think now we’ve got a really good fit (in Michael Wildman),” Reid said, adding that he is pleased with council’s eventual choice, calling the hiring “a really, really important accomplishment.” From there, Wildman brought on others including the town’s first economic development officer in many years. Then there were studies and plans to complete over many months before the campaign to attract development to the town began in earnest. “I wasn’t prepared to just jump in,” Reid said. “In my mind we needed to get all our ducks in a row.” He talked about “cleaning up” the financial situation at town hall that saw capital budgets in place for individual departments, but no overall vision to unite the various ‘silos’. There was also the matter of three backlogged annual audits having to be completed in a matter of months. Asked if he’s worried the gains made in this term would go to waste if past councillors or newcomers win October’s election and shelf the plans, Reid said the blueprints for the town’s future were drawn up by competent, knowledgeable professionals and he hopes whoever gets elected recognizes and respect that. Reid was adamant about the need for change in his last election campaign, but says he won’t run a contentious or negative campaign this

year. (At one point he praised the last council for obtaining federal stimulus money and spending it wisely on the water and wastewater treatment plant expansions.) “I’m not built that way. I just stick to the facts and my accomplishments,” he said. “If you have to resort to dirty politics in a small town you probably shouldn’t be in it.”

yet. But we are moving in the right direction.” While the town square project hasn’t gotten much support from the community, either in funding or enthusiasm, Reid says he doesn’t oppose it. However, he envisions a town square being bigger – with room for vendors, washrooms, even a new location for the cenotaph. LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

COUNCIL ‘EXCELLENT’

As for the current council members, Reid said they have been “excellent” and he has “no issue with any of them.” This, despite one member having a restraining order placed on him by another. “That’s not for me to comment on. That’s why we have elections every four years,” he said. “I wish them well. I would have no hesitation of working with them again.” He isn’t endorsing any candidates, saying it is up to voters to decide. That is true for McNab-Braeside too, where the council led by Mayor Mary Campbell pulled out of recreation and library service agreements last year. The bitter dispute is “one of the bigger disappointments” for Reid, but he is meeting with town managers soon to discuss next steps – no matter who wins the township’s mayoral chair. “Obviously I’m very disappointed but we’ll forge ahead to try for an agreement in 2015,” he said. “I have some ideas now but won’t share them with the press. We’ll work with whoever gets in place.” For many years there has been a growing concern in Arnprior and other towns about

Reid counts among his accomplishments the formation of a provincial delegation – of which he had a leading role – to study the issue and provide solutions. He said the provincial government was “shocked” to see some Ontario households were paying $1,000 per month for policing and others just $9. POLICING COSTS

In Arnprior, the town paid $2.3 million in 2009; in the future it could be as much as $1 million less with a fair allocation, he says. But more likely in the $700,000 to $800,000 range. The town has already realized significant savings, about $350,000, by merging the Arnprior OPP office with the Renfrew detachment. Any fears that it would hurt service in Arnprior hasn’t materialized, says Reid who hasn’t heard one complaint in town about the changes. In fact, the merger means police deployment is more flexible and efficient, he says, adding that helps the townships in the detachment too. While he realizes the proposed changes in OPP costing aren’t making the townships happy, it is a fairer system. “We did the best we could. Not everyone was going to be happy,” Reid said. “Everybody was complaining about it and talking about it (on the last council), but there was no action to do something about it.” He touted council’s new rolling rehabilitation of roads program that has seen $700,000 going toward upgrades and repaving. It will rise to $900,000 next year, and possibly top $1 million after that. Although he hasn’t fielded many complaints himself on roads, former public works director Coun. Ted Strike is a strong proponent of the program. It seems like a lot of money, but Reid insists the town is not spending wildly. “Financially, we are not where we want to be

Should he win another term, Reid said his main goals will include completing downtown and waterfront revitalization, along with the downtown streetscape program. Together with a possible “Arnprior’s own Central Park” next to the fire station along the former railway tracks, the town will become more pedestrian- and cycling-friendly with plenty of green space by the time the next election rolls around, he says. A study is underway that could lay out three options for a new town hall: upgrade the current one to make it accessible; build a new one possibly in the firehall area; or build onto the fire hall itself. He is withholding comment until the study is done. Reid is pleased with the rising level of residential development in town. That will ease utility costs on existing users, add to town coffers and draw more retail, he says. He points to the Winners Circle proposal that could see a new Canadian Tire anchor a number of smaller stores in the vacant lot behind the Esso on Daniel Street. Developers were disillusioned and lamented communication breakdowns during the last administration, says Reid, maintaining many are happier today doing business at town hall. “There’s going to be a point of time when developers are not going to agree with everything a municipality is doing, let’s face it,” he said. “But the process was broke and I made a commitment to fix it. And I think it’s been changed and improved. “I am pro growth and development, but it has to be done in accordance with rules and plans. And you have to deal with everybody the same way. There can’t be any more shortcuts.” Reid said the town is aggressively knocking on retailers’ doors to promote the town, especially now that its brand is updated and website overhauled. Arnprior has also taken a lead in what could be viewed as a provincial issue. Skyrocketing hydro rates prompted the town to submit a quasi-petition to municipalities across the province, asking for support for its call for lower rates. It found impressive traction. Reid wants to go a step farther. Like Ottawa, he wants to see if residential taxes for seniors living in their own homes can be deferred until the house is sold. He won’t commit to the idea until staff makes a recommendation, but is confident the extra money in seniors’ pockets will help pay for rising hydro and other costs. Throughout the interview, Reid talked of the importance of all candidates having their “heart in the right place.” He said not everyone will agree, but that politics is about having a vision and the art of the compromise. “I want to continue with the momentum we’ve built,” he said. “There’s a lot more to be done.”

Fibreboard plant to benefit from energy incentives Continued from Page 6

All three projects have majority municipal ownership. “They are examples of municipal contributions to Ontario’s reliable and sustainable electricity system and participation in the province’s clean energy sector,” says the release. Ontario Minister of Energy Bob Chiarelli disclosed the Horton project will go ahead while in Pembroke April 4 to announce that Ontario’s

Industrial Electricity Incentive (IEI) program has made it possible for Pembroke MDF to expand its fibreboard operations by retrofitting its Valley facility and creating 140 jobs. “Waterpower is an important part of Ontario’s clean energy supply mix,” said Chiarelli. “These new facilities will provide local benefits and contribute clean, reliable and affordable hydropower to the grid for years to come.”

said, adding that “we have subdivisions in the township, but nothing is happening.” The township has already commissioned a report from Ottawa entrepreneur Bruce Firestone on how if should proceed in promoting economic development in the township. His report will be one of

Arnprior conducted a similar process last year, holding meetings to get input from developers, builders and realtors as they formulated a strategic plan and a campaign to attract economic growth to town. Blimkie said the session will be timely as the town needs to agree on some strategies prior to updating its ofﬁcial plan next year and proceeding with accessibility upgrades as mandated by the province.

NOTICE OF STUDY COMPLETION TOWNSHIP OF LANARK HIGLANDS MUNICIPAL CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FRENCH LINEBRIDGE The Township of Lanark Highlands has undertaken a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment for the replacement of the French Line Bridge located on French Line Road, approximately 2.5km northwest of Highway 511. The existing single span, pony truss bridge constructed in 1945 is nearing the end of its lifespan and the Township intends to proceed with the replacement of the bridge in the summer/fall of 2014. The project is being planned in accordance with the latest edition of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Manual, as a Schedule “B” undertaking. Public and agency consultation is an important component of the Environmental Assessment process. Public and agency input are invited for incorporation into the planning and design of the project. A Public Information Centre (PIC) was held on March 6, 2014 at which time the preliminary design plans were on display and feedback from the public was received. There was a consensus from those at the PIC that they did not support a temporary closure of the bridge without access provided as a result of the signiﬁcant detour length around the structure and the impact it would have on local residents, businesses and emergency services. The Township has decided to tender the project as a road closure at the bridge during construction, however, included in the tender will be provisional items for the construction and removal of a temporary crossing. Upon receipt of the tender bid submissions and review of the applicable cost of a detour at the bridge, the Township will decide if they will be proceeding with the construction of a temporary crossing, or if a closure of French Line Road will be utilized during construction. The Township has decided to tender a bridge design that includes the construction of a precast concrete girder bridge with a reinforced concrete deck and box beam guide rail. However, in order to permit Contractors and suppliers to provide alternative bridge designs, the tender will be structured to permit alternate bridge designs submissions, which could be awarded at the discretion of the Township.

EDITORIAL

Capitalize on Mufferawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fame The story of a CFL team in Ottawa dropping the last name of Big Joe Mufferaw from its mascot struck a cord among readers last week. Our Facebook page had no less than 50 comments, many angry and frustrated that a few francophones upset over the name managed to convince RedBlacksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; management to change their marketing plans. It is true that a Joseph Montferrand was a real lumberjack that earned a reputation for fighting logger rivals and English oppressors. He is a hero in French history books, even if English folks have a hard time pronouncing his name. As a minority in North America, they have a legitimate concern that a historic figure isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t completely overshadowed by a fictional one. It is also true that Arnpriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Bernie Bedore found inspiration in Montferrand. However, as the authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter herself stated emphatically, Big Joe Mufferaw is a much larger than life figure; too big to contained by a nonfictional historic person. Bernieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expertise storytelling and Mufferawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hugely entertaining antics place the character in a category of his own. He deserves to be recognized in full, and not as a knock off of Montferrand. Setting aside what the privately-owned RedBlacks should do with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big Joe and Grand Josâ&#x20AC;? versus â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big Joe Mufferawâ&#x20AC;?, there is plenty that ought to be done in Bedoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hometown. How is it possible that nothing, save for perhaps a few books at the library and a statue collecting dust in some municipal warehouse, is done to celebrate Mufferaw? Even Mattawa,

with its passing connection, has a huge statue in Mufferawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honour. But not his birthplace. The townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new marketing and economic and development officer, Lindsay Wilson, has been on the job for less than a year. It would be sad loss to ignore Mufferaw as a marketing tool â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Arnpriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Anne of Green Gables but with muscles â&#x20AC;&#x201C; any longer. The town has non exclusive rights to it. Judy is willing to work with staff, but only if they present a solid case and show a commitment to following it through â&#x20AC;&#x201C; unlike in the past. Maybe the new sign planned for Highway 417, or renaming a park, or a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s literary festival, or a statue placed in a prominent location. Maybe all four and more, the opportunities are endless. Later on, Bernie should be recognized as well. One thing is for sure â&#x20AC;&#x201C; too many people, including some from Arnprior, refer to the Stompinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Tom Connors song when talking about Mufferaw. With no mention of the books. That ought to be shame enough to prompt action. CORRECTION

In the April 3, 2014 story â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Football club axes Big Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mufferawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; it was stated in error that Paul Bunyan was based on Mufferaw. In fact, Paul Bunyan predated Mufferaw. The Chronicle-Guide regrets the error.

LETTERS

Tory MPs should speak out for vets To the Editor: Thank you for printing the letter on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Conservatives claim they are improving veteranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lot shamefulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (Arnprior Chronicle-Guide, April 3). Too long have the local Tory MPs such as Cheryl Gallant, Scott Reid and Gordon Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor towed Stephen Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s line of hypocrisy. My God, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor was National Defense Minister and retired general! Even he is still silent in this veteran travesty. What will it take for these Tory MP to speak up?

Harper prefers to send federal lawyers after the vets and fight them in the courts than pay them whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s due. Maybe Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s federal attack litigation lawyers should be sent to the Ukraine instead of Canadian Afghanistan vets. What a novel idea, fight wars with lawyers. If his lawyers had PTSD, then we might see action on fixing this issue. I think I am looking forward to a federal election next year.

Every year, millions of Canadians are targeted by fraud regardless of their age, education level, income, profession or ethnicity. March was Fraud Protection Month in Canada and the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) joined the Competition Bureau and several other organizations in raising awareness about the issue of fraud. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an ideal time for Canadians to find out how to recognize, prevent and report fraud should they become a victim. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to fall for a financial scam. Crim-

inals use creative tactics to catch potential victims at different stages of their lives. Whether you are starting your first job, moving out on your own, maintaining a home or living in retirement, be mindful of the potential scams that could target you. Protect your assets, property and identity by recognizing and reporting the warning signs to the proper authorities and by visiting itpaystoknow.gc.ca to learn more.

Lifestyle - Each year I lead two very popular outings for the Macnamara Field Naturalists’ Club. One is a mid-summer excursion to see wild orchids. The other is one in which we usually don’t see the target subjects. That is because the event doesn’t start until the sun has set. The late start is for good reason: the subjects are owls. Owls are hard to see because most are creatures of the night. There are exceptions: Snowy Owls, which were plentiful this winter, are highly diurnal. But apart from those and a couple of other northern species, most are active only at night. Recently, 60 members of the Macnamara group joined me for a nocturnal excursion to ﬁnd owls. We travelled quiet backroads from Stewartville to Cedar Hill, stopping half a dozen times where owls had been encountered on previous excursions. Although as many as six species of owls are possible, usually three at most are encountered. Late March is an excellent time to hear owls, for they are vocal when pairing up and claiming territories. Each species has its habitat preferences, so the best strategy is to visit a variety of sites. We started off near an old hardwood forest, the habitat of Barred Owls, our most common species. It wasn’t quite dark when we arrived and no owls were calling. Now, some people use taped calls to elicit responses from owls, but I use vocal imitations. I began belting out rhythmic: “who-cooks-for-you, who-cooks-foryou-awwwllll” calls and eventually a reply was heard in the distance. The owl moved closer, and after enjoying

Engineering director Dave Darch presents Renfrew Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s levels of services (LOS) report to county council March 26. county staff took a look at its assets, they found a high percentage of assets were in good to fair condition. The same canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be said about the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roads, said Darch. The analysis said all county roads are being maintained in safe condition, but only 58 per cent of county roads meet standards of overall system adequacy. The objective, now, is to gradually address the issue, said Darch, noting this means 42 per cent of county roads fall into what he called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;now-need.â&#x20AC;? The roadsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; now-needs fall into eight categories, such as trafďŹ c capacity, structure, road width, geo-

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Only 58 per cent of Renfrew Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s network of about 820 kilometres of roads meet systemadequacy standards, and something needs to be done about it. So said retiring engineering director Dave Darchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s during his ďŹ nal report to county council March 26 on the levels of service of Renfrew County assets. According to the two-month analysis by about 10 members of county staff, an unsatisfactory percentage of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s road network is deemed adequate. This levels of service (LOS) analysis will be incorporated into the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full asset management plan, which is scheduled for councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approval later this year. Warden Peter Emon said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;going to be reassuring to have a frameworkâ&#x20AC;? for managing county assets. These assets include roads, bridges, major culverts, ďŹ&#x201A;eet vehicles and equipment, social housing buildings, long-term care facilities, and county buildings. The latter consists of administration buildings, public works yards and paramedic facilities. There is a high percentage of acceptable levels of service for such assets as paramedic facilities, bridges, social housing buildings and longterm care facilities. Generally speaking, when the

metrics, curvature and drainage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some municipalities (elsewhere) are in the 90s (as far as overall system adequacy),â&#x20AC;? said Darch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not there. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to get 70 per cent, but that will take time. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re too low right now, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to take about 20 years to get there, assuming certain funding levels. Maybe we can hit 60 or 65 per cent in 10 years.â&#x20AC;? The countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s levels of service are a critical component of asset management, said Darch, because â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to deďŹ ne how you deďŹ ne and approach your capital works programs. It will generate the timing and the extent of the rehab strategy â&#x20AC;Ś for each one of your assets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The roads are the assets that probably grab the most attention,â&#x20AC;? said Darch after his presentation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They need a lot of work in terms of strategies to bring them up (to standard). Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at 58 per cent for system adequacy and we want to target 75 per cent.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite a variance, but Darch said council accepts it may take two decades to reach that level. The analysis, he said, will also allow the county to incorporate â&#x20AC;&#x153;justin-timeâ&#x20AC;? strategies, such as road overlays, to improve levels of system adequacy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole idea behind asset management is to preserve the life of your roads (and other assets),â&#x20AC;? explained Darch.

Bill would force drivers to clean snow off cars News - Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski has introduced a private membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bill at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park designed to make Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roadways safer during the winter months. The Bill, introduced March 26, aims to tackle the problem of ice and snow dislodging from moving vehicles that can result in personal injury and property damage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a person who puts a lot of miles on the odometer, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve often witnessed chunks of ice ďŹ&#x201A;ying off cars and trucks during the winter months,â&#x20AC;? explained Yakabuski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What really crystallized the need for this Bill was hearing from a constituent named Gord Stickles whose minivan was struck by a sheet of ice up to ďŹ ve inches thick and 53 feet long from a tractor trailer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What could have been a fatal incident fortunately only resulted in minor injuries and a wrecked van, but highlighted the need for this requirement.â&#x20AC;? Currently, there are no requirements in the Highway TrafďŹ c Act compelling drivers to clean off their vehicles. Yakabuskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Private Membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bill, if passed, would provide police ofďŹ cers the tools to charge offenders and include provisions to ďŹ ne drivers who fail to do so.

Firefighters, Metro to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;help hunger disappearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Staff

News - Donations to local food banks begin to decline in the spring, so the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grocery stores have embarked on food-gathering campaigns. Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Metro grocery stores and the Campbell Company of Canada are encouraging Ontarians to help gather much-needed food for the fifth annual Help Hunger Disappear program. Throughout April, shoppers are invited to visit Metro locations across the province to help fill donation bins with non-perishable foods in support of local food banks. On this Saturday, April 12 from noon to 2 p.m., Arnprior firefighters will be outside the store with a fire truck, collecting food items for the Arnprior and District Food Bank and giving the Help Hunger Disappear campaign a higher visibility. Metro shoppers can also help local food banks at the checkout by adding a $1 donation tag to their purchases. The Help Hunger Disappear is a national program that helps build awareness, drive donations for food banks across Canada and reminds people that they can all play a part in helping the nearly 800,000 Canadians who rely on their local food banks every month. For more information, visit www.HelpHungerDisappear.com. Meanwhile, the Loblaws group of stores, in-

cluding No Frills, is also collecting items for food banks in April. In a release urging public support, the company notes that with food banks in Ontario assisting an average of 375,000 individuals each month, 35 per cent of whom are children, donations continue to be critical this spring. NO FRILLS EXTRA HELPINâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

As a result Loblaws stores, including No Frills, are encouraging customers to donate food or funds to their local food bank during the the Extra Helpin Food Drive that runs from April 3 to 24, To help, simply purchase or bring nutritious, non-perishable food items and drop them into the in-store Extra Helping donation bins, or make a $2 cash donation at check-out. Customers can quickly and easily identify the food bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most needed items while they shop because of the Extra Helpin logo on shelves beside price labels. In Ontario the most needed, non-perishable items include pasta products, rice, canned meat and fish, dry and canned soups and stews, canned fruit and vegetables, flour, hot/cold cereals, whole grain cereals, peanut butter, aseptic packaged or canned/powdered milk, fruit juices, pasta sauce, beans and legumes, infant formula and baby food, according to the Ontario Association of Food Banks.

Investment to create more jobs at Ensyn Technologies’ Valley biofuels plant peter.clark@metroland.com

News - A $1.5 million investment has been announced as part of a $4-million project to upgrade Ensyn Technologies’ Renfrew facility by increasing production capacity and making it a first-of-itskind biofuels plant. The money is coming from CRIBE (Centre for Research and Innovation in the BioEconomy). A news release from Ensyn said that by enhancing its existing facility in Renfrew, it will have a fast-tomarket option for delivery of petroleum-replacement liquid biofuel produced from forest residues to heating oil customers in Quebec and northeastern United States. At last Friday’s announcement, CEO Lorne Morrow noted that CRIBE was formed in 2009 during the bleakest times of forestry. “We are seeing a slow but steady recovery. Projects such as this are truly critical to the recovery and survival of the industry,” Morrow said. “The work that Ensyn’s doing here secures Ontario’s and the Valley’s position as a

leader in the world-wide biooil industry,” Morrow added. “It also secures 14 existing jobs and adds 14 jobs. I come from the north, raised in the north, in a small town, and every jobs counts. This is a nice return on $1.5 million.” Ensyn’s principal product is RFO a liquid biofuel that is a heating fuel and is also a feedstock for refineries for the production of gasoline and diesel. The news release said capacity at the facility will be increased from about three million to 13 million litres of RFO annually. Ensyn’s biofuels business is based on the conversion of wood and other non-food, cellulosic biomass to advanced cellulosic biofuels. “Our partnership with the Town of Renfrew has been instrumental in our success today,” Ensyn Technology president Dave Boulard said at the Renfrew announcement. “Thanks to the Renfrew Industrial Commission (RIC) for believing in us, purchasing this building, by which we can be an elite tenant, and seeing our vision. That has been critical to us.” Boulard also said general

manager of operations Matt Gibbons has “been a tremendous leader, and has gone above and beyond some of the aspects that a development company demands.” RIC executive director Dave Lemkay welcomed all to the Renfrew Innovation Centre. “It’s our distinct pleasure to have this elite crowd here of people from CRIBE and forestry, and directors from our Renfrew Industrial Commission,” he said. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has recently approved Ensyn’s Renfrew plant as a registered facility under the US Renewable Fuel Standards (RFS2) program. The company can now producecellulosic biofuel that will be eligible for credits under the program. Ensyn’s news release says this has significantly accelerated customer demand from U.S. clients. On March 7, Ensyn announced an initial contract to supply RFO from its plant in Renfrew. The five-year contract with Memorial Hospital of North Conway, N.H., is for the supply of RFO for heating purposes.

OPINION

Cold winter puts lie to global warming - not so fast Lynn Jones Watershed Ways

The jet stream moves from west to east and forms the boundary between cold polar air to the north and warm tropical air to the south. The bigger the difference in temperature between the North Pole and the Equator, the stronger the jet stream and the faster it ﬂows. As the Arctic has rapidly warmed in recent years the jet stream has slowed and become weaker. It meanders more and gets stuck in what meteorologists call ‘blocking patterns’ or ‘persistent weather’. Big meanders and blocking patterns have brought us the long stretches of frigid Arctic temperatures this winter and they have caused the polar air masses to reach much further down in the United States than normal. A picture is worth a thousand words in un-

derstanding this phenomenon; excellent graphics are readily available on the Internet; a good place to start is by doing a Google image search on ‘wobbly jet stream’. Unfortunately (or fortunately if you love winter) this pattern may be one that we will have to live with for a while. According to the Science and Technology Advisor to President Obama, Dr. John Holdron, “a growing body of evidence suggests that the kind of extreme cold experienced by the United States is a pattern we can expect to see with increasing frequency as global warming continues.” Watershed Ways is a publication of the Ottawa River Institute (www.ottawariverinstitute. ca) a non-profit, charitable organization based in the Ottawa Valley.

Lifestyle - It’s early morning; the floor feels icy under my feet. As the fire starts to crackle in the woodstove, the smoke already puffing out of my neighbour’s chimney has the tell-tale look of chimney smoke on a very cold morning. Outside the kitchen window, the chickadees, puffed against the cold, are already feeding on black sunflower seeds and suet. Hoar frost sparkles on the cedar trees as the first rays of sunlight touch their high branches. Although it is early March here in the Ottawa Valley, the temperature has dipped well below -20 overnight, yet again, in this long, cold winter of 2014. Throughout much of Central and Eastern North America it has been a record-breaking winter. Extreme cold caused school bus cancellations and school closures in many locations. Record snow falls and record low temperatures have been experienced in many eastern and central states in the U.S. On Jan. 7, every state in the lower 48 had a location that was below freezing (United States National Weather Service). The Great Lakes are inching toward an alltime record for ice coverage. Home heating bills are surging according to the CBC, a difficult situation for many. The previously unfamiliar meteorological term “polar vortex” has come into widespread usage to describe the long stretches of immersion in frigid arctic air masses that has been the defining characteristic of this winter for many. And, according to Environment Canada cold weather is expected to persist through March, which is forecast to be colder than normal. This old-fashioned, and in many cases severe winter begs the question “Whatever happened

to global warming?” However, there is a great deal of evidence showing that our planet is still warming. In fact, while we have been enjoying (or not) our cold and snowy winter here, it has been hot elsewhere in the world. Alaska set several new records for daily high temperatures in December and January. Temperatures have also been unusually high this winter in China, Mongolia and in Russia where ski jumpers at the Sochi Olympics landed in puddles while organizers scrambled to reschedule events and make artificial snow. The Southern Hemisphere has had the hottest start to a year ever recorded. Australia, Argentina and Brazil have experienced extended heatwaves. Several cities in Australia have recorded 10 or more days above 40 degrees celsius and the capital, Canberra had 19 days above 35 degrees, close to five times normal. According to the World Meteorological Organization, 2013 was the warmest year ever recorded in Australia, and the sixth warmest for the planet as a whole since records began. In the Arctic, air and water temperatures have been exceptionally warm recently, about 10 degrees C above normal resulting in the lowest extent of Arctic sea ice ever recorded in February. Herein lies a critical factor that may partially solve the conundrum: How can we be breaking records for snow and ice in eastern North America while global warming continues apace? As the Arctic sea ice shrinks, the Arctic warms up faster than the rest of the planet (no ice to reflect the sun’s rays and keep a lid on the warmth stored in the Arctic Ocean). A warmer Arctic region affects the jet stream – the wavy river of fast-moving air 10 kilometres above the Earth’s surface that brings us our weather.

Sap is running: maple syrup season begins in earnest Lifestyle - Asking an Ontarian for his or her favourite season can be wildly divisive. Some prefer the colours of fall, others the skiing opportunities of winter, some the long-awaited heat and produce of summer, and others still the sense of renewal that comes with spring. Of course, all of these answers would be wrong. Hands-down, indisputably the best season in

Ontario, say maple syrup producers is maple season. Maple season takes place between late February and late April in Ontario, whenever the weather has warmed enough that daytime temperatures are above freezing while nighttime temperatures remain below zero. After weeks of unseasonably cold temperatures, prime maple syrup weather has ﬁnally arrived.

Spring art show features work of budding artists Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In a quaint studio home on Carss Street in Arnprior, wonderful things are happening. Artist Marg Lamendeau has been quietly painting, working and teaching for many years and this weekend the public has a chance to see just what everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been up to. The Budding Artists Spring Art Show and Sale will be held at the Arnprior Mall April 11-13. Lamendeau will be showcasing her most recent pieces of art, along with that of more than 30 of her talented students. Lamendeau hosts five classes every week, catering to artists of all ages and skill levels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone works on their own subject matter and at their own pace. Some people are fast and some take their time,â&#x20AC;? said Lamendeau, who works individually with each artist to help them reach their goals. A peaceful and encouraging atmosphere makes all the difference, says Lamendeau. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seconded by her students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very relaxing and therapeutic,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like a high brow serious art class. We have a lot of fun.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great teacher,â&#x20AC;? said student Sue Chick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have great

Coffee, tea, cookies and mood music all round out the experience. Lamendeau has been teaching classes in this forum for about seven years. She came to the area in the 1970s after earning a Queens University fine arts degree and was a one-time teacher at Arnprior District High School. Then came time spent as a private artist working and selling

locally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The pendulum has kind of swung back to being a teacher,â&#x20AC;? said Lamendeau. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a role she relishes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really enjoy instructing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful to see the progress,â&#x20AC;? she said. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tremendous variety in the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; work â&#x20AC;&#x201C; landscapes, portraits, even abstracts are produced in

Many of the art pieces will be on sale with a percentage of the proceeds being donated to the Neighbourlink Fountain.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got connections with a framing company and can facilitate that service for those requiring it. The upcoming show is a great experience for her students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really nice to have a venue where the artists can display their

Dating scams on the rise, OPP warn Although police say all types of fraud are under-reported, the romance scam is also an emotional roller coaster. Therefore, a victim is dealing with severe financial hardship and the personal embarrassment and torment after realizing they have been taken advantage of. Tips to avoid being a victim of a romance/ dating scam include: • Checking website addresses carefully. Scammers often set up fake websites with very similar addresses to legitimate dating websites. • Never send money, or give personal credit card or online account details to anyone you do not know and trust. A request to send money to a foreign country to someone you have never personally met should be a red flag. • Don’t give out any personal information in an email or when you are chatting online. Educate yourself. Check the person’s name, the company name, and the addresses used. • Ask yourself – ‘Would someone I have never met really declare their love for me after only a few letters or emails?’ If the answer

is no, report it to police. “The impact of romance fraud, personally and financially, is staggering - and is unfortunately trending upwards,” said OPP Deputy Commissioner Scott Tod. “Only give out your personal information where it is absolutely necessary and when you trust the person with whom you are dealing.” “Like any scam, use your computer or wireless device to your advantage and educate yourself,” added OPP Detective Inspector Paul Beesley. “Those who use social media and dating websites need to ensure their personal and financial security before committing money to someone in the online world they think they can trust.” If you suspect you or someone you know has been a victim of romance fraud, or if you have already sent funds, don’t be embarrassed – you’re not alone, stress OPP. Contact your local police service or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

News – Fraud committed through romance and dating scams continue to rise, reports the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Anti-Rackets Branch. The OPP warn that the criminals go online to seek their potential victims, generally single or recently unattached people. Usually this occurs through singles and dating-related ‘meet’ websites, social media platforms or e-mail blasts. In some cases, prolonged interaction with individuals has cost some victims tens of thousands of dollars before the ‘relationship’ ends, usually without ever meeting in person. According to the Canadian AntiFraud Centre (CAFC), in 2013 there were 1,728 complaints from Canada of romance fraud - a year-over-year increase of nearly 300. Of those complaints, 1,149 victims - often female - were identified and their combined financial losses exceeded $15.6 million - more than any other identified financial loss due to fraud.

Tips for protecting your home on social media News - With spring finally here, people are gearing up for those much deserved getaways. And with the emergence of social media blurring the lines between sharing personal details for fun and putting yourself in danger, Weiser has come up with some easy tips for protecting yourself and your home on social media. “Social media has almost completely erased any notion of privacy. Nowadays, when folks go on vacation, it’s not just the five people in their office who know about it – it’s their entire Twitter following,” says Steve Kolobaric of Weiser. “People often forget that a simple status update about their trip can act as a feeding frenzy for thieves, and can actually create a vulnerable and dangerous situation for their home, belongings, and also any family that they may leave behind.” TIPS

Check out these simple tips for protecting your home on social media: • Don’t update any statuses or ‘tweet’ the dates that you are going away. Also, be sure to utilize the privacy settings on social media sites correctly to ensure that strangers are not seeing things you didn’t intend for them to see. • Be careful when using the ‘checkin’ feature on Facebook, and be weary of apps that share your location to others. The new generation of apps broadcasts your location at all times to friends - and in many cases to people you don't even know. And unlike the previous generations of applications that required you to check in to a venue, these apps are persistent unless you pause them or turn them off.

News - The struggles of families dealing with autism matter to Arnprior. On April 2, the town joined communities across the province in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Raise the Flagâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Light it up Blueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; initiatives to raise awareness and foster acceptance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today, one in 94 children are diagnosed with autism in Canada. Through improved public awareness the message to the people and families affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder living in our community and the province at large, is loud and clear â&#x20AC;&#x201C; your struggles matter to all Ontarians,â&#x20AC;? said Deputy Mayor Lyle Anderson at the ďŹ&#x201A;ag raising midday last Wednesday.

at town hall and Anderson spoke to the Town of Arnpriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support of World Autism Awareness Day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tonight blue lights will illuminate town hall to support the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Light it up Blueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; initiative and help increase awareness of autism in our community and throughout the world,â&#x20AC;? Anderson told the assembled crowd, which included members of the adapted physical education class at Arnprior District High School. An act respecting World Autism Awareness Day, was recently fast-tracked and passed in the House of Commons. This means that every year April 2 will be recognized ofďŹ cially as World Autism Awareness Day in Canada. OfďŹ cials say the passing of this bill demonstrates Canadian lawmakers care about autism and autism awareness.

TERRY VAUDRY

“On behalf of our clubs and volunteers, I want to thank all of the landowners who have generously allowed the use of their property for an OFSC snowmobile trail this winter,” said Vaudry. “We also appreciate the support of the many snowmobilers who bought trail permits to help pay their share of the cost of trail operations for the past season.” A very special thanks is also extended to all of the club volunteers who donated their services to assist local clubs in providing a successful season of snowmobiling. Although the winter is over, snowmobiling has become a year round business, so many volunteers will start immediately to plan and prepare for next winter. If you are interested in helping out, contact your local snowmobile club.

News – Snowmobilers are being warned to stay off of closed Ontario Federal of Snowmobile Clubs’ (OFSC) prescribed snowmobile trails effective immediately as the snowmobile season has come to an end. The trails are reported as ‘Unavailable’ (Red) on the OFSC Interactive Trail Guide at www. ofsc.on.ca because area clubs have stopped regular grooming operations, and signs and stakes are being removed and gates and fences closed. Snowmobilers are also advised that rapidly deteriorating snow and ice conditions due to spring thaw make snowmobiling extremely hazardous anywhere. Roads and road crossings are now generally bare and the ice on all waterways is melted, melting or unstable. “The only safe and sensible course of action for snowmobilers is to put away their sleds until next winter,” said manager Terry Vaudry. “The risks of trying that ‘one last ride’ are simply too high now that spring thaw has commenced.” The public is also reminded that an OFSC snowmobile trail on private land reported as ‘Unavailable’ means that access to that trail is also prohibited for any other users or persons for all other seasons, without the specific prior permission of the landowner.

Arnprior Golf Club hits 90, welcomes new GM, director of golf Brad Moore Arnprior Golf Club

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting easier by the year to shoot the age of the Arnprior Golf Club, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean this old dog canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t learn new tricks. Far from it. Entering its 90th anniversary year, the Arnprior Golf Club at Sand Point continues its surprising pace to transform and reinvent itself as it now boasts the top playing conditions in the Ottawa Valley and among the best in Eastern Ontario. In the last two years thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a host of upgrades, including a new range and practice areas, new greens, numerous tees and a general rethinking of the course to improve playability for the average golfer yet remain a challenging trek for the pros. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing how good the course conditions were last year,â&#x20AC;? says Allen McGee, Arnprior member and one of the top rated amateur golfers in the country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I play in tournaments all over the region and none had greens in better shape than Arnprior. The excellent course conditions, layout, good group of people and good

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now at nearly four times the size the new green really updates the look and style of the hole making it consistent with other greens on the course yet still a challenge.â&#x20AC;? Yet a revitalized golf course is not the only new trick up this 90-years-old sleeve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Steve Williams and his team have done such a great job with the course we wanted to carry that level of excellence across all areas of the golf club,â&#x20AC;? says Kevin MulviSHERRY HAAIMA/METROLAND hill, reigning club champion The Arnprior Golf Club welcomes general manager Luke and president of the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of directors.

His past skills touched on all the areas of the club weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to improve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a strong communicator, a first rate golfer, embraces new technologies, and has a real vision for leveraging a quality course with a golf club environment like the Arnprior Golf Club. Plus he grew up in the Ottawa Valley so has a personal understanding of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to the membership and the community.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played Arnprior in years, then last summer I played in a tournament at the course and was blown away,â&#x20AC;? said Saunders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was nothing like I remembered. It had been transformed into a jewel and nobody knew about it. When I discovered the club was looking for a new GM I jumped at the chance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a member or a green fee player we want everyone to feel welcome and to feel that both on the course and off the course the Arnprior Golf Club is a special place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The club is already great value but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to add to that with ongoing best practices training for our staff; a finer food and beverage selection and dining experience; a new golf academy with increased

Ski racers attended from across Northern and Southern Ontario. Calabogie’s alpine athletes dominated the competition, with every single athlete landing in the top-10. Wyatt Campbell-Brunke of Renfrew, Noah Matthews of Calabogie and Louise Stonham of Arnprior ably represented the U10s. Wyatt was the winner of the panel slalom and third in the giant slalom, Noah collected silver in the GS, and Louise, skiing against bigger

and older competitors, was seventh and eighth in her races. The U12 contingent included Sam Alexander of Carp, Lucas Zohr of Golden Lake, Wesley Matthews of Calabogie, Luke Hansen of Renfrew, Carson Lefebvre of Calabogie and Jeremy Van Grunsven of Odessa. After a good first day in which Sam, Lucas, Luke and Jeremy all placed in the top-10 in GS, with Wesley and Carson each having a top-10 time on one run, the boys ripped up the panel slalom course. It was a complete podium sweep for Calabogie – Sam in first, Lucas in second, Wes in third, Luke in fourth and Carson in sixth. Jeremy also had one run that was a top-five finish. These talented racers certainly put Calabogie on the map, and wrapped up the season with a bang.

Valley Pride Midgets prep for tourney Sports – It has been a very demanding season for the Arnprior-based Valley Pride midget girls basketball team. With horrendous scheduling due to weather causing frequent cancellations, it has been difficult to have any consistent improvement in skill building and game play. For the third time in their five-month season, the players came off a long four-week layoff and played in a quad meet this two weekends ago in Ingleside. In the first game the team exhibited some rust and fell behind early to the Ottawa Shooting Stars. The Pride was attempting to win the fourgame season series, as they had captured the first two games against the Stars while losing the third. The Pride is not blessed with height and were out-re-

bounded and gave up too many second chances to hope to win. A victory was not in the stars, as the Pride came out on the short end of a 45-31 score. Andrea Martin and Hannah Scott led all scorers and Logan Kenny and Cassie King had strong defensive performances against their much taller opposition. The Pride’s second game, which was a back-to-back contest, was against the host team, Upper Canada Ice 1. As usual the Pride started off slowly but found their second wind and cruised to a 6140 win. Again Martin and Scott led the offence. Dakota.Hanson made some awesome passes to set buckets and dumped in a couple hoops herself. Courtney Roach and Jaime Banks set the tone with their pesky defense and hus-

tle. The Pride continued their domination of the Ice teams, as they defeated the Ice 2 team 49-41 to complete the season sweep. However, it took a team effort as Banks, Kenny, King and Roach hit crucial freethrows. Logan Kenny, Melisisa Thompson and Gwen Flegal all dumped in points in the last couple of minutes to allow the Pride to escape with a win. Coaches Raili Quathemar and Dick Holmes were happy with the effort and the team is looking forward to a tri-meet in Cornwall next week. The Pride are honing their skills in preparation for their season ending EOBA tournament to be held at Arnprior District High School this weekend (April 11-13). The Pride’s first game is this Friday at 6:30 p.m.

He was awarded the both the Queen’s Golden and Diamond Jubilee Awards. “Never be afraid to ask for help, for me that was a huge part of what I became,” said Nicholson. “I always try to surround myself with positive people.” Nicholson still plays hockey recreationally on Sunday nights in Arnprior. “I’m the only guy in a sled,” he said. “I enjoy it, it’s a great time. It keeps me involved, it keeps me active and I still get to play the game that gave me so much.”

Sports – Arnprior District High School graduate and sledge hockey legend Todd Nicholson will be inducted into the Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame in the athlete category this May. The Kinburn native will be one of five people honoured at this year’s award ceremony, the organization announced on April 4. “It means quite a bit,” said Nicholson, who now lives in Dunrobin. “As much as I’m accepting the award, I realize I wouldn’t have been able to do this without the support of the community, and my family, my friends.” Growing up, Nicholson played a number of sports but his main love was hockey. “As a kid growing up that’s what I wanted to do, play hockey,” he said. Then, a car accident on his high school prom night left him a paraplegic. But Nicholson didn’t let that stop him. “When my accident happened doors started opening, opportunities started coming up. I took those opportunities and ran with them,” he said. And run with them he did. Nicholson boasts a number of accomplishments. The 45-year-old is a three-time Paralympic medalist and captain of the Canadian Men’s Sledge Hockey team, winning gold in 2006, silver in 1998 and bronze in 1994. He was twice named to the Paralympic all-star teams, was the Canadian flag bearer for the opening Para-

lympic ceremonies in 2006, and has won eight medals at the World Championships, including gold in 2000 and 2008. “It was a huge sense of pride to put on the hockey Canada jersey,” he said. “That is something I’ll never forget. “I think the biggest thing is for people out there to realize that anything is possible. Life may throw you some curves but it’s all in how you deal with them.” He said he remembers attending the ceremony where Steve Yzerman was inducted into the Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame in 2008. “I wore number 19 and one of the reasons was because of him. I always really like what he did on and off the ice,” said Nicholson. In 2010, Nicholson was elected to the International Paralympic Committee Athletes Council and is currently the chair of the organization. “My goals and life have changed a bit since being on the ice and now are more focused on a much bigger picture for all athletes around the world,” he said. “I will do what I can to ensure every athlete gets the opportunity to showcase what they are capable to achieve.” Nicholson, who graduated from Arnprior District High School, is also a motivational speaker for the Canadian Paralympic Committee’s Changing Minds, Changing Lives program. He helps encourage young people with physical challenges to remain active, while also helping others understand the importance of physical activity.

RedBlacks’ trade brings Arnprior resident back to Ottawa Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Sports - The Ottawa RedBlacks first ever trade deal had an Ottawa native and Arnprior resident coming home after a seven-year career with the Calgary Stampeders. Arnprior resident Justin Phillips, a common face around the Kenwood Centre in town for the past three years, found it hard to leave the Stampeders behind. However, the defensive lineman said he is pumped to be able to play in front of a hometown crowd. Phillips has been training and leading physical activity sessions at the Kenwood Centre since 2011. The RedBlacks announced his acquisition in a trade in February. News of the trade was not quite a surprise to Phillips. Although he hadn’t requested a trade, he said he has spoken with Stampeders head coach John Hufnagel before, saying he wouldn’t mind being closer to home. “Ottawa (area) has been my home my whole life,” said Phillips. “Even my seven years with the Stampeders, every off season, I came back to the Ottawa Valley and made my permanent residence in Arnprior.” After seven years in the CFL, Phillips admitted he is getting into the latter portion of his career and that getting to play in front of a hometown crowd would be a good way to finish off. It’s a thought he has entertained for most of his career, as rumblings about an Ottawa franchise have been around since Phillips got his start in 2007.

Got Events?

Phillips said he is not ungrateful to the team that gave him his start, not to mention a Grey Cup win. “It’s tough leaving,” he said. “(The Stampeders) showed a lot of faith in me by drafting me in the first round way back then, and they stuck with me.” But playing for Calgary meant leaving family and his football roots behind. While the Stampeders gave Phillips his start in the CFL, the Bell Warriors gave him his start in football. When a Grade 8 classmate mentioned his father coached football and that he was going to play, Phillips thought he would try out as well, “and I haven’t looked back.” Playing in the mosquito, peewee and bantam levels with the Warriors, Phillips, surrounded by coaches and other passionate teammates, nurtured his love of the game. “I can’t say I’ve had much more fun in my life than playing football back with those guys,” he said. One of the biggest lessons playing with the Warriors was work ethic, said Phillips. “I always wanted to be the fastest, the strongest,” he said. “I always wanted to be at the top, so from a very young age I developed a good work ethic and I’ve carried that through my entire career and through my life.” To this day, Phillips recalls the coaches who made a difference for him: Jim Wagdin, Mike Wilson, John Buck and “Coach McQuillan.” “They did a great job in teaching kids and trying to develop men.” With those lessons in mind – alongside his success on defence and with special teams with the Stampeders – Phillips said his RedBlacks coaches are looking to him to be a “stabilizing force” on defence and a leader on special teams. As a veteran on the newly formed franchise, Phillips said he aims to create a winning culture, as well as strengthen CFL interest in Ottawa. “I think we are going to have a chance to really develop strong football roots in this community,” said Phillips.

Anglers encouraged to stay safe on the ice News – The Ministry of Natural Resources is reminding anglers to check local ice conditions before heading onto the ice to fish as spring weather has finally arrived. Ice conditions can be deceptive and variable. Always remember: • Ice does not freeze at a uniform thickness across most lakes and rivers. This can be hazardous at the start of the winter season when near-shore ice is often much thicker and safer than ice further out. Check thickness regularly with a spud bar or auger as you move further out on the ice. • Not all ice is created equal. Ice that has formed over flowing water, springs, pressure cracks, old ice holes or around the mouths of rivers and streams can be weaker than surrounding ice. • Clear blue ice is the strongest. White or opaque ice is much weaker. Ice that has a honeycombed look, common during thaws or in the

spring, should be avoided. • Travelling on frozen lakes or rivers with snowmobiles or vehicles can be dangerous and precautions must be taken. At least 20 centimetres (eight inches) of clear blue ice is required for snowmobiles and 30 centimetres (12 inches) or more is needed for most light vehicles. This thickness should be doubled if the ice is white or opaque. • Heavy snow on a frozen lake or river can insulate the ice below and slow the freezing process. Before venturing out: • check ice conditions with other anglers; • let others know where you're planning to fish and when you plan to return; • appropriate clothing and equipment are critical to safety and comfort. Many anglers wear flotation suits and carry a set of ice picks.

Wrestlers compete at Winter Games Sports - Thirteen Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club members, including a couple from the Arnprior area, represented Eastern Ontario at the Ontario Winter Games in Huntsville Feb. 27 to March 1. Qualification took place in December when 10 athletes were successful, and at the cadet provincial championships in February when three more RAWC members made the grade. Harry Smith coached the cadet boys and daughter Shohannah was an assistant coach for the cadet girls team. Cole Herbert and Bryson Fraser-Lines were the area’s top grapplers with silvermedal performances. Lily Warren, Aleisha Ciphery and Colton Warren earned bronze, while Jolie Briscoe and Paulena Oattes finished fourth. Teegan Tabbert, Cole McKee and Ryan Thibault were fifth in their weight

categories, and Anthony MacLaren, Jarett Laking and Chelsea Bernard sixth. No local wrestler had any less than three matches to showcase the skills they have been working on over the past year. In a few instances, RAWC athletes were forced to wrestle teammates. Paulena Oattes and Teegan Tabbert faced each other in the same cadet girls category, while Anthony MacLaren, Colton Warren and Cole Herbert squared off in the 80-kg boys division.

Taste in the Valley vendors wanted Lifestyle – While there won’t be a Taste of the Valley event in Arnprior this year, area vendors are being encouraged to participate in the four that are occurring. The four venues are Barry’s Bay, Renfrew, Deep River and Cobden, the same as last year. Tastes of the Valley are expositions of local food, crafts and products produced by local residents. The community gatherings aim to introduce both visitors and local residents to the many unique agricultural products available in this region. The ﬁrst Taste of the Valley will be held Friday, Aug. 15 at the Barry’s Bay Farmers Market and Railway Museum. To participate, contact museum curator Anya Blake at curator@southof60.com or call 613-756-5885. The second Taste of the Valley Renfrew Armouries and Fairgrounds will be held Saturday, Sept. 20.

The Arnprior Rotary Club is the latest organization to throw its support behind Arnprior District High School graduate Jennilea Hortop, who has joined 50 other cyclists on Tour D’Afrique, a 120-day journey spanning 10 countries. The 12,000-kilometre journey from north to South Africa raises funds for the Peace by Piece initiative, supporting the Peace Matunda Orphanage and School, a cause near and dear to Hortop’s heart after she visited the school in 2009 and spent six weeks working there. To donate, visit peacebypieceafrica.org or Peace by Piece, Inc. on Facebook. At right, Rotary president Terry Dawson, left, presents Jennilea’s father Frank Hortop with $300. The initiative is in line with Rotary’s promotion of international and youth issues, says the club. The Arnprior Optimist Club and other organizations and individuals have also supported the cause.

ENTERTAINMENT

Celebrate songs from coast to coast with the Arnprior choir

Celebrating Volunteers Volunteers are an integral part of the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa’s (CASO) work, generously donating approximately 30,000 hours of their time each year. Volunteer tasks are varied and flexible, matching interests and skills with volunteer positions and working with people’s busy schedules. While some of CASO’s volunteer opportunities require a moderate time commitment, Special Assignments allow for more flexibility and can include: organizing, event management, providing entertainment, or acting as photographers at events. Volunteer Drivers support children and youth in care by providing a safe non-judgmental space where they can comfortably sit in silence or speak with an attentive listener. Child Access Volunteers similarly help to provide a safe space by supervising visits between parents and children. Pre-School Volunteers and Tutor/ Mentors provide more formalized guidance. Pre-School Volunteers assist professional staff, guiding children from three months to five years through a variety of weekly programs. Tutors/ Mentors, under the supervision of the case worker, help school-aged children with subjects like math, english and science, encouraging students to develop their interests and build educational goals. Volunteering with CASO is a learning opportunity for the volunteers themselves as they undergo training, work collaboratively with fellow volunteers and staff and develop relationships with foster parents and the families we serve. April 6-12, 2014 is National Volunteer Week, an opportunity for us to take stock of the time that volunteers across the country donate daily. We would like to take this opportunity to formally thank our volunteers for their tireless work. Their contribution to supporting children and youth in care, and the Ottawa community more broadly, makes a difference every day and every hour.

Arts - “I’se the B’y that builds the boat …” If you like to tap your toes to the Great Big Sea, laugh at the humour of the Arrogant Worms, be inspired by “I Believe” from the Vancouver Olympics and be transported to your favourite Canadian province, you don’t want miss the upcoming Arnprior Community Choir spring concert. “Canadian,eh?” will be presented twice at the Christian Education Centre, ﬁrst on Friday May 2 at 7:30 p.m. and then on Saturday May 3 at 2 p.m. Join the choir as it showcases wonderful choral singing, soloists and instruments. Of course, it wouldn’t be truly Canadian without dessert and Timmies. The community choir is able to feature many legendary Canadian singer/songwriters. Stompin’ Tom, Great Big Sea, Rita MacNeil, Ian and Sylvia Tyson, the Rankin Family, and Leonard Cohen will provide the backdrop for a true Canadian showcase. The audience will enjoy ‘Working Man’, ‘Song for the Mira’, ‘Excursion Around

the Bay’, ‘Four Strong Winds’ and ‘We Rise Again’, not to mention ‘The Log Driver’s Waltz’ and the choir’s version of ‘The Hockey Song’. The choir will be joined by three talented soloists, each being performers in their own right as well as members of the local community musical theatre company, Two Rivers Musical Productions. Marcus Winchester (aka Daddy Warbucks and currently Freddy in My Fair Lady) will join the choir in a stunning arrangement of ‘Working Man’ as well as a solo from the infamous Leonard Cohen collection. Emily Helferty (aka Annie) will present several Rankin Family solos as well as the memorable ‘I Believe’ from the Vancouver Olympics. Young singer Olivia Smart (aka Annie Orphan and Munchkin) is ready to put on her cowboy hat and boots for a lively country folk song. There is so much local talent that makes this concert truly unique. Arnprior District High School music teacher Frank Pecora has arranged two songs for

the choir. Mike McCormick, band member of the Arrogant Worms, not only sings in the choir, but has arranged several songs for the group. He will also accompany on guitar and mandolin. Denis Coulterman, guitar, and Louise VandenBerg, ﬂute, both sing in the choir and will also showcase their instrumental skills. Local Kanata composer/arranger Margrit Cattell will be featured with her arrangement of ‘Danny Boy’. The Arnprior Community Choir has more than 55 singers from the Ottawa Valley. TWO SHOWS

The group presents two concerts per year as well as sings throughout the community. Due to its popularity, the choir has decided to hold spring shows on both May 2 and 3 in order to accommodate rising ticket sales. Space is limited, so be sure to get your tickets early from any choir member or the Arnprior Book Shop. For more information, visit www.arn priorcommunitychoir. com.

Hydro bills causing way too much pain, say protestors Steve Newman Steve.newman@metroland.com

STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND

Bev Fortin of Haley Station, Anne Elliott (centre) of Douglas and Albert Linde of Arnprior are among the dozen of protestors at last Friday’s demonstration of Hydro One billings. of stories from people about the deep unrest that Hydro One’s billing has caused so many people. These billings, said Burgess, are emblematic of how the Province has been trying to “systematically destroy rural life. They have closed schools, they have reduced services at hospitals, they don’t pay attention to road conditions, they don’t listen to any concerns.” She added that “the thought process is let rural Ontario die a natural death and encourage people to live in urban centres. And I say to hell with that idea.” After encouraging residents who

are being overbilled by Hydro One to cease their regular payments, someone from the crowd shouted out, “Let’s form a new province.” “Are you talking separation?” asked Burgess to laughter from the crowd. “Separation from Toronto,” she was told. Eady, who described himself as a normally peaceful person who “never, ever thought he’d be standing in front of a crowd protesting,” said: “Ladies and gentlemen, we have a real serious problem. Rural Ontario is almost being shut down in some ways … Hydro is just unbelievable. “When you have a bill coming in

at $100 a month and all of a sudden it jumps up to $600, does somebody not red-flag that. And then when you call, you can’t get answers. That’s wrong, just wrong.” Eady cautioned that Friday’s protests across the province are among many more to come, because in such a troubling time, organizations such as the Association of Municipalities of Ontario are failing to speak up on behalf of municipalities. People should have the final say, said Eady, in agreeing with a person in the crowd, who said, “I don’t know how they get the final say when you can’t get people to listen to the

News - The organizer of last Friday’s Renfrew protest over skyrocketing heating bills from Hydro One didn’t know what kind of response she’d get. Angela Burgess, who runs the KOA Kampground in Horton, says she was hoping attendance would be strong and even include a few combines. The feisty organizer didn’t get the combines, but attendance was healthy, as about 100 people, from several area communities, including Arnprior, showed up to protest the bills that are wreaking havoc for residents and businesses across Ontario. The protest ended in the freezing rain, with no freeze on hydro billings in sight. Main speakers in front of Renfrew town hall were Burgess, Horton Mayor Don Eady and Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski. “If we don’t get this fixed, downtown Renfrew is going to look like downtown Pembroke, all boarded up, with all the lights turned off,” said Burgess, before she and other protestors marched a few blocks to the official protest site while carrying placards such as: 1. Smart Meters Dumb Idea, 2. Are you aware Seniors are on a fixed income? And 3. We work, we pay, we pay, we pay. More to the point, Burgess said people across this province are going to face financial turmoil if Hydro One doesn’t fix its billing catastrophe that has Hydro One customers receiving bills that are jumping exponentially despite few if any changes in their heating practices. While preparing for this protest, Burgess says she has heard six weeks

people.” Given back the microphone, Burgess said, “We need to understand that this (Liberal) government is a runaway train, and if we have any hope of survival we have to keep this protest going.” “But we’re all here today and we all feel the same way. We all have the same pain,” added Burgess. She also indicated that several measures demanded by protest leaders such as herself could start to improve the situation. First of all, remove HST from all Hydro One bills, largely because it’s an unnecessary tax that no other North American provinces charge, she told the crowd. That, she insisted, could be an all-party vote. Two, remove the debt-retirement charges on Hydro One bills, because the province’s debt was paid off more than two years ago. Those payments, said Burgess, continues to be a “slush fund so they can pay Green Energy suppliers 84 cents a kilowatt they produce.” Three, equalize delivery charges so they’re not linked to hydro consumption. Two other demands, which weren’t mentioned at the protest, are removal of all smart meters in rural Ontario, and a forensic audit of Hydro One’s new billing program. The demands make sense, said Burgess, because they’re doable. Politicians present at Friday’s protest included Horton council members Glen Campbell, Bob Kingsbury, Don Eady and Jamey Larone, and Renfrew Reeve Audrey Green. Green congratulated Burgess for having the guts to stand up and oppose Hydro One.

Organizer Angela Burgess of Horton speaks to a crowd of 100 people during last Friday’s protest over exorbitant Hydro One bills for residents locally and across the province.

Issue is with policy: Yakabuski Continued from Page 31

Protestors at Renfrew’s demonstration over Hydro One billings include, in the foreground from left, Doris Brown of Arnprior and Lorna Dawdy of Calabogie. said the MPP: “It’s like the biggest ship on the ocean. You can’t turn it around real fast. There’s going to have to be a lot of changes made, but letting the government know just how p-ed off you are is a good start.” When told he needs to express his concerns at Queen’s Park, Yakabuski said it’s now the people’s turn.

“No, you need to go down and let them know how mad you are, because I’m just the same voice all the time,” said Yakabuski, knowing a large anti-Hydro One protest is being planned for Queen’s Park. “We’re going to do what we can to slow down these people down. But until we hold those levers of power, we can’t turn this ship around.”

“It’s long, long overdue, and I support you 100 per cent in everything you do, because I too get hydro bills,” said Green. “It’s just totally impossible to try to manage, with every bill going up, including town taxes.” The last major speaker was Yakabuski, who travelled from a Hydro One protest that morning in Barry’s Bay and spent several minutes trying to explain why regulatory policy has helped make Ontario energy production so expensive. Before the MPP started to speak, Burgess led a triplechorus of “Hell, no, we won’t pay (our hydro bills).” Then one woman yelled from the crowd, promising that the MPP “won’t get our vote if you don’t do something about it.” “As far as the vote goes,” said Yakabuski, “you can do what you want, but if you don’t change the government, this isn’t going to change.” The issue, stressed the MPP, has everything to do with policy and how it impacts the cost of electricity. The issue is also the biggest one facing staff in Yakabuski’s ofﬁce. “The reality is that people cannot afford it. That’s why you’re here today,” he said. “But it’s not just individuals. I hear from businesses how they’re considering shutting their doors because they can’t afford the price of electricity.” Yakabuski called it “a bloody mess, and I can see that you’re very, very angry.” It took a decade for the problem to reach this point,

Model T Ford kicks the ghost temporarily Lifestyle - “Finally!” Mother said, as Father backed the old Model T out of the drive shed where it had been sitting up on blocks since the first heavy snowfall. That meant our trips into Renfrew no longer meant hitching up the horse and cutter, or in some cases, the team and the flat-bottom sleigh every Saturday for our weekly supplies. We were all so excited, Mother said she saw no reason why we five children couldn’t go in as well, since it

was our first trip with the car that year. It didn’t take long for us to get out of our Saturday work clothes and into our nextto-Sunday-best, wash our faces, comb our hair, and make sure our necks were clean. Why anyone in Renfrew would give a hoot in Hades if the Haneman children had clean necks or not was a mystery to me! The old car sure wasn’t much to look at, with one back door missing, a fender that was painted an entirely different colour from the rest of the car, and a hole as big as a pie plate in the back floor where I had to sit being the youngest, and from which point all I could see was the Northcote Side Road zooming by. It was a lovely day for a first drive, Mother commented, as Father turned out of our lane, and passed Briscoe’s General Store. I could hear the purr of the engine, as he worked the lever under the steering wheel increasing the speed. It was a bone shattering ride over the washboard road, and the dust blew into the open car like brown clouds. My sister Audrey wisely brought a silk scarf, which she tied around her face. The rest of us covered our eyes as best we could.

STOPPED DEAD

80 ELGIN ST. W. ARNPRIOR

Father cut the gas back as we headed down Raglan Street, looking for a place to park the Model T. And suddenly, just like the run-down of a wind-up clock, the Model T gave a gasp, and stopped dead in the middle of the street. Father shoved the gas lever up and down, pulled on the choke, and the car with a mind of its own, sat there like a big black lump of clay. Father got out with the crank, and with the sweat pouring off his face, his arm fly-

ing off the crank on occasion, and the Model T, like a rebellious child refused to catch. It wouldn’t have been so bad if Father had been able to steer the car into the curb, but there it sat, right in the middle of Raglan Street. Audrey offered me a nickel if I would change places with her. She wanted on the floor so no one would see her. I said I would consider it for a dime. All she had was a nickel, and so I stayed crouched on the floor. Mother was fanning herself with her purse in the front seat, Emerson said he would meet us at Thacker’s Garage when Father got the car going, and Everett and Earl decided they would have a look in the Five and Ten Cent store. Mother said everyone would stay exactly where they were! “We aren’t going to traipse all over Renfrew when we get the car going and are ready to go home,” she said. “If we get the car going,” Audrey said, from under the silk scarf, which now covered her entire face, except for her eyes, reminding me of a picture of someone from a foreign land in a book I brought home from the Renfrew Library. A crowd had gathered on the sidewalk in front of Scott’s Hardware where the car had broken down. Mother waved to a few of them just as if it was an everyday occurrence to be stopped dead in the middle of the main street of Renfrew! “Nice day,” she said. The people nodded in return.

Mr. Scott came out of the store, assessed the situation, and deciding the problem was doing nothing for his business, he offered to have the two men on his staff, with the help of Father and my three brothers, start pushing the car towards Thacker’s Garage. Mother stayed in the front seat, I got off the floor, Audrey shot down like a bullet to take my place, and the car with Father behind the wheel started slowly down Raglan Street to Thacker’s garage. It didn’t take long for Mr. Thacker to figure out what was wrong, and he circled the car, shaking his head, kicking the tires with the toe of his boot, and telling Father the car wasn’t long for this world! Whatever Mr. Thacker did, the car was purring like a kitten when we pulled out of the garage, and Mother said she was sure we could manage without stopping for supplies for one week, and that the best thing we could do was head for Northcote. You couldn’t hear what Mother was saying to Father in the front seat, but he pulled into Briscoe’s General Store on the way home. She said once we stopped, since we hadn’t spent any money in Renfrew, she saw no reason why we couldn’t all have an ice cream cone. Father wasn’t taking any chances. While we five children and Mother traipsed into the store, Father stayed in the car with the motor running just in case the old Model T took another notion to give up the ghost. E-BOOKS

Knee replacement surgery linked to longer life

60 STAYE COURT DR, ARNPRIOR

News - With an aging population, it’s no surprise that the incidence of musculoskeletal conditions in Canada is growing, causing an increasing demand for treatment. In fact, at more than $16 billion per year, musculoskeletal conditions are the second most costly category of disease in Canada. While these statistics are cause for concern, new research has shown that knee replacements may actually contribute to the

overall health of recipients in other areas, such as cardiovascular. The study looked specifically at cases of total knee replacements in elderly patients with osteoarthritis. Three years after receiving surgery, patients had an 11 per cent lower risk of heart failure. And after seven years, their risk of dying for any reason was 50 per cent lower. “Osteoarthritis had gradually reduced my mobility, and a fall caused total disability,”

says total knee replacement patient and Canadian Orthopaedic Foundation volunteer, Joan Cunnington, As a life-long tennis fanatic, it was devastating to discover that I could not play. “My surgeon said the success of my total knee replacement depended 20 per cent on him and 80 per cent on me, so I persisted with physiotherapy until I could fully bend and extend my uncooperative knee. I returned to doubles tennis playing on a club team, and we won a league trophy.” For Cunnington, a total knee replacement freed her from a life of chronic pain, and allowed her to return to the heartpumping activities she enjoys. With an increased understanding of the importance of orthopaedic surgery in Canada, educational support must be freely available for patients, says Jennifer Gunn of the Canadian Orthopaedic Foundation.

All of Alexis’s siblings were born in different locations. This may the reason for her appreciation of community life and her commitment to helping out where ever she can. The various places she called home were the ‘hydro’ communities of Haileybury, North Bay, Markdale, Deep River and Stewartville. She and husband, Art, have one son, Jeffrey, who today calls Alberta home as an employee of the oil ﬁelds. She attended Kemptville College studying home economics,

later working as a sewing machine operator for Blue Bell, Renfrew, and both Playtex and Paciﬁc Safety Products in Arnprior, as custodian 20 years at Arnprior District High School and as a dietary aid at the Arnprior Hospital for six years. After retiring 11 years ago, she and Art now love to take cruises. Their adventures have taken them across Canada and the U.S and to Cuba. Their favourites are Newfoundland and Cuba and have travelled to both locations at least four times each. She is an avid reader and member of the Golden Gem Chapter of the local Red Hat

Lifestyle - We all know someone, and sometimes wish we could be just like that person who always comes to work with a smile on her face, with her warm and caring personality shining through. Well, that is Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program’s (ABMSH) volunteer receptionist Alexis Barr. Alexis may have one regular afternoon shift as a volunteer receptionist, but she can be counted on to ﬁll in an extra day or two or three when required. For this we are very grateful as our agency depends heavily on the hours that all our volunteers provide. Why does Alexis volunteer? “I do it for several reasons; mainly for the seniors themselves as well it is a connection to my community,” smiles Alexis. “It feels good to know that I can make a difference in the lives of all who participate in the many programs offered by Seniors at Home, and besides that the staff is wonderful,” she concludes with a grin.

Society Alexis will celebrate her 10th anniversary as a volunteer for ABMSH on July 19. As well as receptionist, she volunteers for the weekly foot clinic and when requested helps out during special events planned by the fundraising co-ordinator. Her years as a sewing machine operator have become invaluable to the volunteer program at the Arnprior Hospital. She ﬁrst joined the Hospital Auxiliary as a porter some 15 years ago. Today she is manager of the sewing room. Completely operated by volunteers, the hospital’s sewing department processes thousands of pieces; newly made, mended and remade each year. “I am happy to be part of a team that makes a difference whether it be here at Seniors at Home or at the hospital,” said Alexis. “I highly recommend volunteering. I feel I get more out of it than I give,” concluded Alexis. Well, Alexis that must be a life time worth of “feeling,” because what you give to others could ﬁll two lifetimes.

Lifestyle - Not a hope! The Knights of Columbus had a tough night; to say that would be an understatement. Ahead by 10 games going into the last leg of the six-game euchre challenge competition, it all unraveled when the Legionnaires “took off the gloves.” It wasn’t pretty! Legionnaires won the final night competition by 27 games. The comeback was complete. The overall standings were: Legion 637 wins and 2,996 points with Knights 620 games won for 3,173 points. Legion wins by 17. The high teams for the night with identical records with 8 wins 8 points were: Eva Clouthier\ Adelle Leavoy and Glen and Lois Timmins. The overall competition winning team was Peggy Barsoski/Keith Burns with an impressive 37 wins for 112 points. Second place went to Lisa Lewis/Michelle Sauve with 36 wins, 102 points. On the political side of the house, the two deputy mayors (Christine Blimkie –McNab-Braeside and Dan Lynch - Arnprior) duked it out with Lynch nipping Blimkie by an 8-6 score. Residents of Arnprior may want to lock their doors at night for the next couple of weeks due to the number of ‘skunks’ presented. Recipients included: Knights – Sloan Watters/

Lot of laughs and some crocodile tears (Knights) with the vow “Wait till next year.” The committee thanks all the volunteers who provided the scrumptious supper and congratulate all the competitors and look forward to seeing them again next year.

NUTRITION

Connected to your community

It’s spring - get up and move Ian Harris RNT

Opinion - Hypokinetic disease! The Couch Potato Syndrome. Hypokinetic disease is a disease or condition that is related to or caused by chronic physical inactivity and poor fitness. The term first originated in the book Hypokinetic Disease (Kraus & Raab, 1961) As unbelievable as it sounds, 70 per cent of our population have some type of hypokinetic disease such as cardiovascular disease, some forms of cancer, low back pain, obesity, adult onset (type 2) diabetes, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, mental health, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. If so how can we stop or reverse the effects of a sedentary lifestyle? A sedentary lifestyle is actually so detrimental to your health. Coupled with high levels of stress, a lifestyle full of inactivity is a great way to hasten the process of declining health, ultimately leading to an early death. In our current society, physical labour has been overtaken by predominantly intellectual tasks. This new lifestyle, however, may be drastically increasing your risk for adverse health risks.

Weight management, wellness and nutrition Research from the American College of Cardiology has previously shown that sitting can be as deadly as smoking. When sitting for long periods of time, the body goes into something known as ‘storage mode’, while in this mode, the body stops working as effectively as it should. This is the primary reason that prolonged sitting has been linked to a number of conditions including heart disease, obesity, diabetes, cancer, and even early death. In addition, researchers from the University of Missouri have shown that sitting for long periods of time also increases your risk of diabetes, obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The researchers noted that going from highly active (taking more than 10,000 steps a day) to inactive (taking less than 5,000 steps per day) is enough to increase your risk of type 2 diabetes. This is just one reason to partake in the simplest exercise there is – walking. Walking can have profound benefits on your health, acting as

a fantastic exercise for both weight control and relaxation. In the United States, Hypokinetic conditions are the cause of 40 per cent of back problems. So what can we do to slow down the effects of Hypokinetic disease? If you work in an office building, take the stairs instead of the elevator. Park at a parking lot that is a few blocks away from work. This will give you a healthy excuse to walk. On nice days have lunch outside. There is nothing like fresh air to clear your head. When you get home from work, go for a walk after supper instead of sitting in front of the boob tube. Home activities like raking, pushing a lawn mower or gardening counts as exercise. As the saying goes, “a body in motion stays in motion.” .Ian Harris of Arnprior is a registered nutritional therapist, certified food psychology coach, certified wellness coach and personal chef. He holds many other certification and specialties within nutrition and specializes in lifestyle and weight management. He can be reached at Ian Harris Wellness and Nutrition at ww.ianharris.ca or 613-8636325.

Arnprior Farmers’ Market to return in May under stewardship of fair board Community – The Arnprior Farmers’ Market will be back next month, this year under the guidance of the Arnprior Agricultural Society. The society, which organizes the Arnprior Fair each year, took over stewardship of the farmers’ market effective Jan. 1. Now governed by co-chairs Scott Brum and Joe Wilson, the Arnprior Farmers’ Market has an exciting year ahead, planning for more vendors and produce than in previous years. The Arnprior Farmers’ Market, to be located on the fairgrounds on Galvin Street, is scheduled to open Saturday, May 24 and will run every Saturday thought to Oct. 11, operating from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Live music is planned for the opening on May 24, and the first of three garage sales is slated to occur May 31. The community will have opportunity to buy locally grown foods and locally produced

products, which will assist in stimulating the local economy. According to research, every $10 spent on local produce and products puts $4.50 back into the local economy. Local vendors will offer a range of products from fresh seasonal vegetables, beef, pork, bison, poultry, baked goods, honey, maple syrup, homecrafts, woodworking, and artisan items. A new website, www.arnpriormarket.com, is up and running, as well as a Facebook page making it easier for the community to stay connected to the market. Anyone interested in becoming either a full-time or part-time vendor is encouraged to contact the Arnprior Farmers’ Market soon as spaces are filling up quickly. Call the Arnprior Farmers’ Market at 613623-9964, visit the website www.arnpriormarket.com, visit Arnprior Farmers’ Market page on Facebook or email manager@arnpriormarket.com.

Easter Market to be a go no matter what the weather Lifestyle - It was said of the United States Postal Service that; “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.” The same can be said of the Carp Farmers Market. While the odd snowflake may still be around, spring is officially here so why not come and taste a little of the spring magic conjured up by

the Carp farmers at their annual Easter Market on Saturday, April 19. Gates at the Carp Fairgrounds open at 8 a.m. and stay that way until 2 p.m. Fifty-plus vendors will be on hand with a wide selection of premium products designed to give holiday meals that special local touch. Assorted meats (local lamb, elk, pork and beef), eggs, fresh micro greens,

and lettuce, stored root vegetables, herbs, garlic dips and delights, maple syrup, cranberries, fresh cider and juicy apples from last year’s crop, plus a wide range of preserves and cheeses, savoury and sweet baked goods are among some of the many products on offer along with Easter’s special candy favourite – chocolate.

Barry’s Bay girl wows the crowd, judges at teen pageant Arnprior delegate Cassidy Whitelock captures teen pageant talent award at 2014 Teen Ontario East Pageant Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

Community - The word ‘beauty’ inevitably comes to mind when watching modern day pageants. The 2014 Teen Ontario East Pageant was no exception as more than 300 people packed the Renfrew Recreation Centre Sunday. Sonya Bergin, the 2013 pageant champion told the crowd just before the crowning of her successor that beauty is much more than outward appearance. The different pressures felt by females can be overwhelming in a society that asks for and often gets perfection or beauty, with or without Photoshop, said Bergin. The Renfrew teenager said there may be a million different definitions of beauty, “but we should not let the world define it as something that is only visually appealing, but rather something that comes from within. “No matter the circumstance, whoever you are or however you look, if you are happy in your own skin, that is beautiful and I think we should all strive to meet that goal.” A few minutes later, after being crowned the winner of this year’s pageant, Theresa Paplinskie of Barry’s Bay offered heartfelt support for Bergin’s comments. AWARDS

She won the celebrated eveninggown portion of the program, but she also won the awards for friendship, ambassadorship and the impromptu question, showing that the judges many factors to consider. “I think she’s exactly correct,” said the 17-year-old champion regarding Bergin’s remarks. “Beauty is on the inside alongside what’s on the

The top three finishers of the 2014 Teen Ontario East Pageant, from left, are first runner-up Jill Barr of Douglas, champion Theresa Paplinskie of Barry’s Bay and second runner-up Emily Shirmer of Ottawa. Right, Cassidy Whitelock of Arnprior is the winner of the Talent Award at the Teen Ontario East Pageant Sunday. Cancer survivor Paige Dillabough, with escort Rory Whalen, presented the award. outside. What’s on the inside is what matters the most.” Paplinskie, who aspires to a nursing career, is also involved in overseas missions and aspires to be an elite three-day eventer in equestrian. “Oh my goodness,” she said as dozens of well-wishers, including her parents Mike and Janet, ascended to the stage to congratulate the 19 contestants from eight communities, including eight from Renfrew and one each from Cobden, Cornwall, Barry’s Bay, Douglas, Arnprior, Carleton Place and Ottawa. “It is a pageant with a purpose. Their focus isn’t on external beauty,”

added Paplinskie. “It’s really on internal beauty and how these lovely delegates will raise awareness for childhood cancer.” The winner was referring to the pageant’s major fundraising cause, Candlelighters Childhood Cancer, which was represented on the sevenmember judging panel by Candlelighters executive director Jocelyn Lamont. Paplinskie, a Grade 11 student at Madawaska Valley District High School, said the toughest challenge was getting over the early jitters. The pageant victory, said Paplinskie, means she gets to “inspire others to

show who they truly are. What you are on the inside needs to shine. And people need to see who you are.” Some of the teenager’s passions include serving on mission trips, like the one she took to Panama last year, and riding horses. ARNPRIOR TALENT

First runner-up honours went to 16-year-old Opeongo High School student Jill Barr of Douglas after finishing among the top three in the talent contest won by singer-guitarist Cassidy Whitelock of Arnprior. Dressed in wool socks, long pants,

a casual shirt and hat, Barr talked about her the passion and love she has for working on the family farm, and her reminder for passers-by that farmers’ hay is what makes possible the steaks off your barbecue. Second runner-up was Emily Shirmer, a former Barry’s Bay and Huntsville resident, who now lives in Ottawa. Featured cancer survivors were Paige Dillabough, Jordan Davidson, Annie Underhill, Nathan Vandecamp and Jessica McCoy. Pageant hosts were Jason Smith, Miss Teen Eastern Ontario 2011 Hillary MacMillan and Miss Teen Eastern Ontario 2012 Gracie Stewart.

From left are Boyd MacLaren of McNabBraeside, Joanne McLaren of Renfrew, Barb Tomasini of Renfrew, Val Miller of Horton, Bev Cross of Renfrew and emcee Robert Lamont of McNab-Braeside. At right, Bob Hinchley of White Lake demonstrates twill weaving on his portable loom during the McNab and District Celtic Heritage Society’s first Tartan Day. Last Sunday, about 40 people attended Horton Community Centre for a pot-luck dinner, before watching Hinchley demonstrate on his loom and give a PowerPoint talk on the history of tartans. The oldest one dates back 3,000 years. The event also featured local musicians. Co-hosts Rose Ann and Boyd MacLaren said the event was an opportunity to generate memberships for the society, enjoy fellowship and become more familiar with Scottish heritage. Hinchley said about 1,000 tartans have been added since the creation the Scottish Registrar of Tartans in 2008.

Easter gifts, goodies galore at special Carp market Continued from Page 40

Check out the high-end crafts: from cards and art, through ceramics, quilts, woodwork and jewelry to toys and clothing. The food court will be in full swing with homemade drinks and snacks, as well as more substantial plates. Although market president David McCreery laments the unusually long and hard winter, he’s also the first to point out that “although we may be a little behind with some of our spring produce, we still have a great selection from

which to choose.” He noted that as times are still tough for many families, the market will be running a 50/50 draw in support of the West Carleton Food Bank as well as accepting any donations of non-perishable food items. And, in keeping with the Easter Market tradition there’ll be a draw for the market’s decorated Easter basket. “So forget the weather,” said McCreery. “Take a break and catch a touch of the Market’s special brand of spring fever.”

We could talk all day about how the right hearing aids could change your life, but we want you to hear for yourself. On April 28th & 29th, Helix Hearing Care invites you to book your no obligation two-week test drive prior to making a purchase decision. Now you can discover the lifestyle improvements that investing in hearing aids can provide and hear what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been missing.

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The winners of the annual Knights of Columbus Substance Abuse Poster competition were announced recently at two St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and John XXIII Catholic schools. Arnprior Knights of Columbus Council 2082 Grand Knight Wayne Pickering and Deputy Grand Knight Blaine Mullins visited the winning students to present them with their certificates. The Substance Abuse Poster Contest encourages students in the 8-11 and 12-14 age groups to develop an original poster and slogan in the drug and alcohol abuse categories, to discourage their peers from experimenting with drugs and alcohol.

Each year there are four possible winners, with one chosen from each category. Each student who enters receives a Knights of Columbus certificate for their participation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s these children who make the substance abuse program so successful,â&#x20AC;? points out Darcy Fridgen, the Arnprior Knights of Columbus Council 2028 Chairman of the substance abuse program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes a huge difference to have the kids involved in these contests. It really brings home what the future effects of alcohol and drug abuse can have on their friends and families; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about awareness.â&#x20AC;? First-place winners from Knights of Columbus Council

2082 in Arnprior are Mackenzie Ivory of St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Alex Moore of John XXIII Catholic schools. Both participants took home a winning monetary award and certificate. Alex of John XXIII also took a winning spot in the next level of the Substance Abuse Poster Contest program, District 41 of the Pembroke Diocese. He also won a medal for that accomplishment. The Arnprior Knights of Columbus Council 2082 thank the schools, their administrations, the judges and all the participants who took part in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contest and â&#x20AC;&#x153;hope to see them all again next year.â&#x20AC;?

Legion provides support for veterans with service officer Janet Tobio Arnprior Legion

Community – We’re back. Holidays are over, the snow is finally leaving, slowly, but have faith, it will be gone. Might not be until June, but it will go. The Legion has been pretty active lately. All the favorites are still in place. Every Friday hamburgers, monthly breakfast and Friday night jam sessions and Saturday afternoon entertainment a couple times during the month. The dance floor is definitely appreciated and given lots of use both Fridays and Saturdays. The executive is going to be working on a good fundraiser for the near future. It seems like as soon as we think things are coming

together and relaxing is near, bang, the sewer pipe breaks and there goes the money saved for paving the parking lot. The hall is being used often and is for rent by the hour, short term and a full day /night for weddings and special events. Just call the Legion or drop in and speak to the bartender. Book early as it is reserved often. There have been many discussions about the government’s latest decision to close a number of Veterans Affairs offices. We can only hope it will get sorted out and the right people will be assigned to the Service Canada offices to deal with the unique problems of the veterans. In reference to Mr. Fogarasi’s letter last week (Chronicle-Guide, April 3), we’d like to remind everyone, the Legion is here for you.

Arnprior Branch 174 has a Veterans Service Officer who will do everything he can to help you and get you in contact with the right people to deal with your problems. Please contact the Legion on Daniel Street for information on how to contact the service officer. Another reminder: annual elections will be held at the Legion at 1 p.m. (1300 hours) on Sunday, April 27. Be sure to attend, elect your choice of executive to run the branch for the next year. Be sure to check the sign in front of the Legion for events and timings, also Valley Heri-

tage Radio and, of course, the Chronicle-Guide What’s Happening page weekly. Besides the great hamburgers at Friday lunch time, there are delicious fresh made sandwiches available daily at the bar. For those who were a little disappointed last week, the next time smoked meat sandwiches are available there will be a dill pickle with it. Stop in at the Legion; make yourself at home. If you haven’t paid your membership yet, do it now. Not a member? Pick up an application. Remember you will be helping this community. Until next time, help us to help others, especially the veterans in this community.

Warden Peter Emon offers tribute to Canadian military Steve Newman Steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon paid tribute to the Canadian military, including members of Garrison Petawawa, during his opening address at the March 26 session of county council. Soldiers from the military base, formerly known as Canadian Forces Base Petawawa, returned to Canada on March 17 at the end of Canada’s major military operations in Afghanistan. Referencing a Garrison Petawawa news release, Emon said this was the end of Canada’s largest military deployment ever. The deployment, said the

The Afghanistan war cost the lives of 158 (Canadian) soldiers, one diplomat, one journalist and two civilian contractors. PETER EMON

Warden, began for Canada in 2001 and involved more than 40,000 Canadian soldiers, sailors, airmen and airwomen, as more than 25 per cent of them served more than one tour. Emon also noted that since the end of Canada’s combat operations in Afghanistan in 2011, Canada had contributed to the NATO Training Mission–Afghanistan by assisting with training, mentoring and development of the Afghan National Security Forces. The warden said the Cana-

dian flag was brought down in Kabul during a March 12 ceremony that took place under heavy guard. “The Afghanistan war,” said Emon, “cost the lives of 158 (Canadian) soldiers, one diplomat, one journalist and two civilian contractors. “We welcome our troops home and thank them for their work and sacrifices during this mission and all the other military mission deployments. We wish to also acknowledge the sacrifice of the families of our soldiers.”

RAFTER, Laurie (Retired –Boeing, Arnprior)

Suddenly, but peacefully, at the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital after having performed his ﬁnal surgery on Wednesday afternoon, March 26, 2014, José passed away. Forever in our hearts, he will be remembered as a kind, generous, loving man of great dignity and fortitude.

Born in Panavežys, Lithuania, on September 26, 1940, to parents Elena Urbšys and Dr. Vladas Gutauskas, José ﬂed communist rule to grow up in Venezuela in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. There, he was mentored by his father, a practicing surgeon. At the young age of 17, he moved alone to Ottawa, where he was welcomed by Dr. Agatha Sidlauskas and the Lemay family. Ottawa has been his home ever since. He enjoyed a distinguished career as a respected general surgeon in the Ottawa area for over 40 years. He was a graduate of the University of Ottawa School of Medicine (1968). He completed his internship at the Toronto General Hospital and his residency at the Ottawa Civic Hospital. He practiced at the Salvation Army Grace Hospital, the Queensway Carleton Hospital, and the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital. Since 2009, he drew great joy and comfort from sharing his surgical practice with his daughter, Dr. Andrea Gutauskas.
