Inside NEWS

Arnprior budget could mean zero increase to tax rate Patricia Leboeuf pleboeuf@metroland.com

EMC news - If Arnprior’s 2013 draft budget is accepted as is, the municipal tax rate will neither increase nor decrease. The draft budget was presented Monday and council listened to staff recommendations. “Staff is not necessary suggesting that you have to stick to that,” said CAO Michael Wildman. “What we are saying is that it is zero (tax rate increase). “If you chose to add into it (the budget) you can do so, but right now what you see is what you get,” he added. The public will get a chance to comment on the budget at public meetings next week. The budget was undertaken over a six-month period with the town’s strategic plan in mind, namely the decade-long sustainable financial model. This year’s operating costs have been budgeted at $8,052,948. Comparatively, the 2012 budget was set at $7,800,693.

Colin Slight, detachment commander of the Renfrew OPP. Prior to 2012, Arnprior was not only a stand-alone detachment, but was the only one in the province

without a contract. It had a “pay-asyou-go.” The Police Services Act mandates that all municipalities have some type of protection agency to enforce laws, assist victims, prevent crime, maintain public order and offer emergency response. See OPP, Page 6

Adding to the reserves was integral. The contributions to the 2013 reserves will total $1,566,731, but $347,161 has already been earmarked for expenses. The net contribution to the reserves will be $1,219,570. The Arnprior Hydro Reserve Fund has been renamed the Capital Expenditure Reserve Fund. “This will now represented only the actual reserves and not the internal debt,” said the CAO. As of March 31, the Corporate Services Department has recovered $1,894,671 worth of outstanding arrears and has entered into repayments agreements which will secure a minimum of an additional $30,000. “Once we get to the budget, we will look for other collection methods and measures,” said Wildman. The budget follows a “pay-asyou-go” method, neither borrowing internally nor externally. Every line item has also been carefully adjusted to reflect a three-year trend.

Gibeau was taken by surprise by the April 3 presentation of the medal at the Arnprior Public Library. His wife Beth, along with family and friends, worked together to sur-

prise the former mayor and organize the presentation and small reception afterwards. “This medal is not for me, it’s for all the people I’ve been associated with,� said Gibeau, who thanked all those in attendance. He said he was raised to believe in public service. “I spent most of my life involved with people who give more than they take,� he said.

Burnstown community association wants beach back Sherry Haaima Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

EMC news – Burnstown has a new community association and the ďŹ rst order of business is to restore the Ontario Power Generationowned beach behind the church to its former condition. The area is located on the Madawaska River below the Burnstown bridge and accessed by a path adjacent to the church’s parking lot. The privacy, sandy beach and piers have long made the area an attractive one for visitors. Youths and others have long been known to frequent the area, often at night, causing trouble, leaving ďŹ res unattended and leaving garbage and bottles behind. “Our main purpose is to make the park near the piers a little bit more welcoming to residents and trying to instill a sense or respect with the people that are using it in an abusive

manner,â€? said Bresnahan. He attended a McNab-Braeside council meeting in March to keep members apprised of the efforts and looking for moral support. Residents stay away from the area for the most part, he said, and the association wants to change that. “The potential of that area is exceptional - it’s quite beautiful,â€? said Bresnahan. “It’s a safe area and it’s got a lot of history behind it.â€? The BCA is not looking for funds from council and through memberships and other fundraising drives will raise the minimal funds needed. “Our main purpose of being here is to be transparent,â€? he said. “And to ask for your nonďŹ nancial support.â€? He said association members agree the issue needs to be dealt with before OPG or another authority has had enough and just closes up the area, making it inaccessible to none.

MBOEPXOFST!! BOE!GPSFTUSZ!GJSNT

“Everybody loses, and nobody wants that,â€? he said. The association is not looking at major changes, either, said Bresnahan. A clean-up and general upkeep are in order, said Bresnahan, and it is hoped the BCA efforts can curb incidents like the ones last summer that required regular police and ďŹ re response. Instilling a sense of ownership and responsibility in users is key, said Bresnahan. “An adversarial approach is not going to work,â€? he said. “If we can just instill a sense of mutual respect and get them to understand the concept of sustainability.â€? Mayor Mary Campbell said the township has no rights or ownership of the area and said County of Renfrew’s Paul Moreau is a good contact for the association in terms of advice, etc. She conďŹ rmed that there is no expectation council would purchase the land.

MEETING APRIL 18

About 25-30 families now have BCA memberships and members expect that number to grow. A family membership costs $20. The association will host an information session Thursday, April 18 at the Burnstown United Church at 7 p.m.

Cost savings from OPP amalgamation Continued from front

If an item traditionally cost $10,000 and was usually budgeted at $15,000, an adjustment would be made for this year, said Wildman. The only items included in this year’s ofďŹ cial draft budget have been deemed mandatory such as council directed matters, critical items and uncontrollable increases. Desired items have also been prioritized and their cost estimated. Higher interest items are marked P1 and secondary interests are marked as P2. These optional items can be added to the budget according to council’s desires. “There is a great deal of options that can be added to the budget if council so choose,â€? said Wildman. There is a ďŹ nancial caveat. “Council could choose to add a P1 or P2 project with the knowledge that (an added cost of) $70,000 equates to an approximate municipal tax rate increase of one per cent,â€? he added.

“We’re struggling to afford the accessibility legislation for public property on what we have now,� she said. Liability issues associated with people using the piers for diving platforms is something council’s not willing to face. In response to Deputy Mayor Christine Blimkie’s question of why people weren’t just using the main Burnstown beach, Bresnahan said that one was mainly designed for vehicles. Not being allowed to have pets on the beach and the parking fees may also deter users of the beach.

“JUST TWO GUYS� Friday April 12th 8:00pm-12:00am

The draft budget includes a three-year phase out of Declining Block Rate for higher end water and sewer users. Over the next three years, these users will see their rates increase. This will translate into savings of $504,000, which can be put in reserve. Traditionally the town has been charging less money for high-use users. “We have a small portion of large industries who the more they use, the less they pay which really is not considered a best practice in the province of Ontario,â€? said Wildman. Phasing this out will also help average users save. Residents that see their water and sewer bills increase by more than $12 on a statement should deďŹ nitely be concerned, conďŹ rmed Wildman. Staff also recommended weaning off of OMPF for water and sewer by $10,000 each. “That’s because water and sewer is supposed to be to-

s #HIROPRACTIC s #USTOM /RTHOTICS s ,ASER 4HERAPY

tally self-sustaining and self-funding and that money is now available for things outside of water and sewer,� said Wildman. FINANCIAL ITEMS

The Ontario Municipal Partnership Funding (OMPF) has been reduced by $38,000, but because the last year’s funding were higher budgeted, the actual impact for 2013 is a reduction of $1,700. Staff recommends that the $74,194 coming from beneďŹ ts be set aside in reserves for the end of the year. With the amalgamation of the Arnprior and Renfrew Ontario Provincial Police and the new integrated policing model, the town will receive an estimated costs savings of $234,005. Measures to bring the town in compliance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disability Act have been included in the budget. “We believe that at a minimum people should be able to get into the (town hall) building and go to the ground oor in order to be serviced,â€? said the CAO. Such measures include improving the town hall, creating electronic records and audio recording. Electronic record storage will improve efďŹ ciency and effectiveness for both staff and those with visual disabilities. Gas Tax Funds and sewer reserves have been designated for Landrigan Street. If the town receives the MIII Grant, 90 per cent of this project would be covered, freeing up $456,234. Staff suggested that three other projects be taken on, namely the resurfacing of Decosta Street, Bridge Street and Baskin Drive. Council will hold public deliberations on the budget on April 16 and 17, and 18 if needed. The sessions will start at 5 p.m. in council chambers. The budget is scheduled to be approved by council on April 22. Questions on the 2013 draft budget can be directed to Director of Corporate Services/Treasurer Jennifer Morawiec at 613-623-4231, ext. 235 or to Deputy Treasurer RenĂŠe Couture at 613-623-4231, ext. 241.

Community engagement key to policing Draft OPP business plan Patricia Leboeuf pleboeuf@metroland.com

EMC news -The Ontario Provincial Police are creating a new model of crime fighting by directly involving the community. “Our most recent model of community engagement

ties to the reality that problems are not police problems,” said Staff-Sgt. Colin Slight, commander of the Renfrew OPP detachment. “You have a rash of break-and-enters, a rash of mischief, they aren’t police problems. “We are a tool to resolve

that problem, but they are community problems that we all have to work together and solve,” he added. As such, the OPP is spreading its roots into the community by instigating new programs, increasing visibility and spreading awareness. Reaching out to children provides a solid foundation for future crime prevention. Officers currently hold monthly informal visits at local schools where they show up during recess or lunch to spend time playing with the children. It helps the kids realize that police officers aren’t just there when there is an emergency, said Slight. A formal Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program was put in place last year. “It’s very much in its infancy stage,” said Slight. “We’d like very much to expand it.” The OPP is also working with local school boards to develop to develop a Community Threat Risk Assessment protocol. This protocol would deal with an identifying a threat or risk by holding a meeting with various resources such as the school boards, the police, the Phoenix Centre, family and children groups and hospitals. The group will then

evaluate what type of threat this person may pose and what resources are put in place to prevent an incident. The organization is doing an emergency service overhaul under Arnprior Fire Department Chief John Okum’s guidance. “Arnprior is definitely not a sleepy little hollow,” said Slight. “It’s a busy little town. There is a lot happening.” The OPP tries to be as visible within a community as possible. Officers try to be present in the community during events and fundraisers. “We will participate in anything you want us to,” said Slight. “We’ll participate in fairs, traffic control for special parades and things of that nature.” Many residents long to help the community and its members and so an Auxiliary Unit was created. “It’s a group of volunteers that are committed to their communities,” said Slight. “They want to go out and do good things.” People can also take on the role of neighborhood protectors by calling in when they see incidents occurring. “We need to be addressing the root cause of our problems and we can only do that as a community,” said Slight. “We can’t do that singlehandedly.”

Continued from front

Municipalities have several options. “They can have their own police service, they can contract to neighboring police services, they can contract to the OPP,” said Slight. “The last option is that wherever there is no contract or service, the OPP by default are responsible for providing that police service.” With Arnprior, each year the OPP provided the municipality with a bill containing the estimate of costs. There was reconciliation at the year’s end, settling the difference. The integrated model creates a more accurate economic scale and overtime fees will be reduced, Slight said. “We blend Renfrew and Arnprior togeth-

EMC news - The newly formed Arnprior Operations Committee was granted a sneak peak of the Ontario Provincial Police’s 2013 Renfrew Detachment business plan draft. In the process of creating this business plan, Detachment Commander Staff-Sgt. Colin Slight communicated and met with local stakeholders.

Foot patrol is a way of A.being present and B. being approachable and that is something we should be cognizant of. COLIN SLIGHT, OPP

“I got a feel about what are the priorities in the community that we serve,” he said. “What is interesting and what is important to you folks in terms of policing. “How do we tailor our police services to meet your needs and your community’s needs?” he added. There is a desire in Arnprior for an increase in foot and bike patrols in the downtown area. “Foot patrol is a way of A. being present and B. being approachable and that is something we should always be cognizant of,” said Slight. Creating relationships with the community is another key element of the business plan. To build a rapport with town youth, officers will participate in informal school visits. “Each detachment member is assigned to a certain school so once a

er and ultimately because of that scale we can afford to share our services a bit more freely and a bit more seamlessly,” he said. When an emergency, illness or incident requires a larger police force, the detachment can draw on a bigger pool of officers. Services are also more easily shared within the area. All locations receive large scale services, such as helicopter rescue, courtesy of the province. After amalgamation, patrol zones were created in Arnprior, McNab-Braeside and Renfrew and police officers are shifted between locations according to need. Renfrew operates as the host containing the administrative headquarters, while Arn-

month at minimum they drop by that school on an informal basis,” said Slight. “It’s an opportunity, if it is recess times, to interact with the kids on the playground, throw a couple of hoops.” The OPP is also ready and willing to participate in a score of different events and fundraising activities to increase its visibility within the town. Speeding in the town was brought up by the committee as issue. The OPP has several traffic safety initiatives in place and plan to up patrol in trouble areas, confirmed Slight. The organization has a number of strategies put in place to achieve this goal such as crime prevention, investigative excellence and highway traffic initiatives With public safety as the OPP’s core priority, another pillar of the business plan is effective and efficient policing. To do so, the OPP must manage a healthy, happy workforce. “Our commitment in the current business plan is to strengthen our commitment to helping our members understand life-work balances and healthy lifestyle and whatnot,” said Slight. The organization is working towards preventing workplace injuries and helping members with PTSD and other illnesses of that nature. Although not listed on the plan, leadership is a priority, said Slight. “That’s leading by example, setting the example on being fair and respectful,” he added. The plan is a living document and is subject to change according to local needs.

prior acts as a satellite, with its own building, services and officers. It has been invaluable for the community to have an office in their area, said Slight. “So far this year there has been 1,178 walk-in customers in this office here in Arnprior,” he said. “Those are 1,178 people who may have had to drive to Renfrew had that building not been provided to us by the municipality.” Last year in Arnprior, there were 325 hours of foot patrol, 2.75 hours bicycle patrols and 3,041 vehicle patrol and 924 radar patrol. A little more than three months has passed since the amalgamation on Jan. 1, 2013.

One good turn deserves another Scouts are well-known for their motto: Be Prepared. This month the youth movement is asking people to go beyond caution to kindness. Scouts Canada is the moving force behind Good Turn Week April 13 to 21. From Saturday, April 13 to Sunday, April 20 you are asked to do your part. “If one good turn deserves another, then potentially 100,000 good turns deserve the same,� says a news release from Scouts Canada. The goal of the campaign is to spread goodwill to Canadians from coast to coast. People are encouraged to participate by performing their own good deeds – joining Scouts Canada’s roughly 27,000 volunteers and 74,000 youth members. “Good Turn Week follows the principles of Scouting, which teach youth to always do Good Turns for other people, but it’s also about encouraging Canadians of all ages to reach out and do something kind for someone else,� said Kaylee Galipeau, national youth commissioner and chair of the National Youth Network for Scouts Canada. Scouts Canada offers five examples of good turns for young people, and five for adults. 1. Give a parent a night off. Volunteer to babysit for a family member or close friends.

2. Put on the family chef’s hat. Pick a meal and help mom or dad out in the kitchen. 3. Four-legged fun: offer to walk a neighbour or friend’s dog. 4. Lend a hand at an after-school program or community centre. 5. Write a letter to the Canadian forces thanking them for their service. Here are some examples of good turns for adults: 1. Donate blood, clothes, food, toys, books – or give money to charity. 2. Volunteer for a community program, or at a local food bank or shelter. 3. Help an elderly neighbour with grocery shopping or a household chore. 4. Buy a homeless person a meal. 5. Make a co-worker’s day: bring in a special snack or lunch for your colleagues. Canadians are encouraged to share their Good Turn on the Good Turn Week website by texting “Good Turn� and their good deed to 51051 or submitting it via scouts.ca/goodturn. Participants can also share their Good Turn on Twitter, the Scouts Canada Facebook page and on YouTube. Visit scouts.ca/goodturn for more information about Scouts Canada’a 2013 Good Turn Week.

LETTER

McNab-Braeside must fight for its citizens To the Editor: I have been watching the ongoing debate over the asphalt plant that Millers want to build at their quarry on the Braeside ridge. There have been many meetings, peer reviews, and letters with more council meetings, debates and public meetings to come regarding the plant. What I haven’t heard is whether or not the McNab Council is going to fight for its taxpaying citizens. The only plus side for the plant is perhaps a few local jobs and some increase in Miller’s taxes. The negative side has many documented reasons for not allowing the plant, such as local area houses loss in value, therefore reducing tax payments (if the plant is built I encourage every home owner in the area to contact MPAC requesting a review of your assessment), health risks and environmental risks (well stated in Randy Whyte’s letter in the Jan.17, 2013 paper). It is not a matter of if the ground water becomes polluted, it is only a matter of when. As far as I can see the only

solution for the houses in the area (and this very easily could include the Village of Braeside) would be the construction of a water filtration centre and run water pipes to the affected homes. Now! I have been at council meetings in the past when the idea of spending money makes some members of council cringe! It was reported that fighting the quarry could cost $200,000 or more. Taxpayers in the area of McNab-Braeside not affected by the quarry may be saying; why should my taxes pay for a fight that doesn’t concern me. If the asphalt plant is built and inevitably the water table polluted, the $200,000 will seem like peanuts after spending millions of dollars needed to build a water plant, which all tax payers of the township will be required to pay. Its time for everyone in McNab-Braeside to tell their Council “it’s time to stand up and fight.� Tom Peckett Braeside

High level hockey should be available To the Editor: An open letter to the presidents of District 5 Minor Hockey associations, This past Wednesday, I attended an information meeting in Cobden regarding the Upper Ottawa Valley Aces. As you know, this Aces organization is the only association from Arnprior to Deep River to Barry’s Bay and many points in between which offers the opportunity for our children to play at the level known as ‘AA’, a competitive level just above your association’s rep teams, and the logical step to ‘AAA’ which is where many of our children are recognized by adults who can make decisions about their future in the sport as well as with colleges and universities. There was much information shared on Wednesday night as over 100 concerned people pooled what they knew to be true with the facts garnered from the Aces executive, District 5 and the Ontario East Minor Hockey League (OEMHL) executive representatives. Understandably, parents are passionate about issues that directly affect their children. Parents at this meeting, including myself,

were hard pressed to reason out why some association presidents (perhaps you are one) do not fully support the Aces organization. The ODMHA constitution, in its introduction states: “The Ottawa District Minor Hockey Association is ... established to promote and foster hockey through fair play, and maintain and increase interest in the game of hockey by insuring that ALL (emphasis mine) organized amateur hockey is developed within the Ottawa District Hockey Branch (ODHA) … ODMHA is an integral part of the Ottawa District Hockey Association (ODHA) and by virtue of this affiliation is a member of Hockey Canada.” My interpretation of this is our local associations are governed by the constitutions of all of the organizations above and that the associations are to operate with a goal to develop the sport so that each child participating can enjoy hockey, while increasing their skill level and thus play on more competitive teams if that is indeed the child’s desire. Many, if all, or our local associations are quite happy to develop our children so that they play at higher skill levels. See SUPPORT ACES Page 10

Amongst other benefits, it also brought out many to the library for the first time! What a great venue it turned out to be. We deserve this level of world class talent and experiences in Arnprior and I trust that we can build on this momentum. It will take the conviction like those of the individuals involved to make activities such as

OPINION

Bone Mineral Densitometry Arnprior Regional Health continues to move forward by embracing technology to improve the care offered to our patients. Fresh off the addition of the Digital Mammography Unit is further updates in our Diagnostic Imaging Department. A new Bone Mineral Densitometry (BMD) Unit has recently been purchased for $45,000. This BMD Unit allows for the electronic images to be available for the radiologist to have access. This will allow a quicker return of results to the family doctor. The Bone Mineral Densitometry Unit is a safe, low-dose x-ray procedure that assists in diagnosing low bone density. This exam estimates the amount of bone mineral content in specific areas of the body, including the spine, hip and forearm. Typically, a bone density test will last between 10-15 minutes. As we age, we naturally begin to lose bone density and this becomes more prevalent after age of 50. THE BMD Unit is used to diagnose osteoporosis, asses the risk of fracture and monitor changes in bone density over time. Osteoporosis occurs very gradually throughout life and leads to painful and crippling fractures of the hips, vertebrae and wrists. Over 25,000 hip fractures occur each year in Canada, with total health care costs exceeding $600 million. Both new and existing treatments offer hope for stabilizing bone mass and reducing fractures. Osteoporosis is often known as “the silent thief” because bone loss occurs without symptoms. Osteoporosis is sometimes confused with osteoarthritis, because the names are similar. Osteoporosis is a bone disease; osteoarthritis is a disease of the joints and surrounding tissue. If you are concerned about your bone density, are over 50 or have one of the risk factors, please speak with your family doctor about a Bone Mineral Densitometry Screening. The Diagnostic Imaging Department is located on the ground floor of ADMH beside the gift shop. Hours of operation are from 8am - 4pm Monday to Friday.

What can you do? The use of age-appropriate calcium and vitamin D supplementation and impact-type exercise, such as walking and jogging, are recommended for the prevention of osteoporosis. Talk to your family doctor.

Risk Factors for Osteoporosis Advanced Age A low calcium diet A family history of osteoporosis Eating Disorders Previous bone fracture A small, thin frame Caucasian or Asian Ethnicity Certain medications High caffeine intake Female (especially when early menopause and/or removal of the ovaries has occurred) Alcohol and tobacco use Low testosterone levels in males

BMD Facts Short Time Scanning (10-20 Minutes) No needles, no injections and no pain No special preparation required (wear light, loose clothing that has no metal zippers, clasps or buttons.

FACT group hires own experts to speak on Miller application To the Editor: Someone new to the area asked me the other day how the quarry expansion application process worked. He asked: “Does the township council simply hear the pros and cons of the development and then votes, the majority rules?” And I had to answer, well, sort of; that’s the way it is supposed to work. But in this case, council hears only Miller’s side or the ‘pros’ of the proposal, if they have done all the studies to everyone’s satisfaction. Remember that this is not the average development; this could affect the whole township. Now there are peer reviewers representing the Township who have looked at the Miller studies and given criticisms and comments. And the public has sent questions for these peer reviewers to answer, to find out some of the ‘cons’ of the proposal, but since Miller refuses to pay them to answer our questions and since the Township doesn’t feel it can afford to pay for these answers, we have a rather lopsided process favouring Miller. So some of us have hired our own indepen-

dent peer reviewers, the only way to get at the truth. FACT-MB Inc. members have had to raise some very significant funds to pay for this expert opinion. And we have already published some of the comments from the report of our emissions expert, Dr. Henry S. Cole in a recent issue of the Chronicle-Guide. We have asked our independent experts to give a presentation at the public meeting for the Miller expansion proposal on May 6, 6 to 10 p.m. Let me introduce our experts to you. When we first knew of the Miller plans to vastly increase the size of their quarry and put the heavy industry of permanent asphalt and concrete plants in a quarry of fractured limestone, on top of the groundwater aquifers that supply the whole Braeside Ridge with water, we knew we had a major nightmare in the making. We needed expert opinion; we needed to hire a hydrogeologist. After a long search we found Mr. Wilf Ruland from Dundas, Ontario, a man with impeccable credentials. He is an environmental consultant, head of his own consulting firm (Citizens’ Envi-

ronmental Consulting), an independent voice. He is active as an advisor and consultant on issues related to groundwater or surface water contamination or depletion for private citizens, citizens’ groups, environmental groups, First Nations, companies and public agencies all across Ontario. He is very experienced; his resume runs to nine pages of projects he has worked on. We were interested in the fact that significant areas of his work included review of pit and quarry proposals and applications for Permits to Take Water, investigations of well interference as a result of quarry activity, and groundwater contamination emanating from major industrial properties. He began his investigation of potential impacts from the Miller Braeside Quarry in 2008 and was instrumental in having MOE reduce the huge Miller Permit To Take Water to a more reasonable size. He gave his preliminary report to us in June 2009 at the Arnprior Golf Club, warning of possible water depletion and contamination. When Miller moved a temporary asphalt plant into the quarry in September 2009 and we suffered adverse effects from it, our focus shifted from our water to our air. Ecojustice, our pro bono lawyers, said it was time to take Miller to court. During that long drawn-out process, we had the services of an Ecojustice environmental engineer, an emissions expert, Dr. Elaine MacDonald. We realized how essential her work was to our case. So she recommended Dr. Henry S. Cole from Maryland to us, to review the Miller expansion proposal. Henry S. Cole, Ph.D., is president of Henry S. Cole & Associates Inc., an environmental and atmospheric scientist with more than 35 years of experience in academics, government,

of teams at all levels in the league. Even the associations with the greatest number of players selected by the Aces had only 7 or 8 per cent (total from all 7 levels) there. By fully supporting the Aces program, you would not only be giving them the opportunity to do so, you are also offering an opportunity to house league players (many who have tried out for rep several times but never made the cut) to compete and develop at the rep level. I have watched some of those former house players as they were challenged to improve, to put that extra effort into their game. They will not be happy next year if they are forced to move back to house league because some of the Aces players drop back. And the players at the rep level desiring to improve, need to know there is a goal to aim for, that they could reach another level of competition. Rep teams that had several players move on to the Aces

Norma Moore, FACT-MB Inc. Braeside have done exceptionally well. Other districts with the same numbers enrolled (or less) support ‘AA’ as well as other competitive levels. Kanata was one of these districts mentioned frequently at this information meeting. Kanata is not afraid to promote their players despite enrollment numbers that are lower than District 5. Our district, District 5, can support higher levels of the sport as well. There are many reasons for enrollment to be down in sports. Encouraging our young people to excel is not one of them. Supporting the Aces program, in full, is a win-win situation. When you meet at the district meeting on Thursday, April 11, please vote to uphold the Aces program. Please encourage others at that meeting to do the same. You will be doing our players from age 5 to age 18, at all levels, a great service. Debbie Ryan Pembroke R0012019843

R0012024163

Why, then, would you not want to let them compete at these levels? One of the best compliments an association can receive is having a player (or players) develop to play at higher levels, levels that could lead to Junior B, Junior A, scholarships and bursaries, maybe even an NHL farm team or this player could beat all odds and play in the greatest league of all, the NHL. It seems that some presidents at the local level are concerned about the number of players leaving their association to play with the Aces. I am well aware that enrollment in our local associations is down. But numbers were revealed last night as to how many from each association play with the Aces and I cannot believe that sending those players back to their home association is going to make a difference in the number

environmental organizations and business. He has provided scientific and strategic support to numerous legal, environmental and community organizations in the U.S., Canada and Europe. Areas of expertise include: air pollution and odorous emissions from a variety of sources including landfills, incinerators, power plants, cement kilns, and industrial plants; air pollution meteorology; air quality modeling; and exposure assessments. Dr. Cole worked as an associate professor at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside for eight years. He served as a senior scientist at the U.S. Environmental Protection Act Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards. He has been the author of many publications, reports, expert witness statements and congressional testimony. To be brief, Dr. Cole has had a long and successful career as an emissions expert; he has an international reputation. So Mr. Ruland and Dr. Cole will present their evaluation of the Miller expansion proposal at the public meeting on Monday, May 6, 6 to 10 p.m. at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church Hall in Braeside. Experts will speak for 15 minutes each; members of the public will have three minutes. To read some of our experts’ preliminary work for us, visit our website www.fact-mb.org. If you have questions, you can also contact us through our website, info@fact-mb.org and we will answer them if we can. You can express your reasons for not wanting this zoning change and official plan amendment at the public meeting. Hope to see you there.

Runtz to talk about beavers in Perth workshop EMC events - The beaver is a brilliant hydroengineer and a colossal pain in the keyster. What does it take to live side-by-side with beavers? For answers, go to Beavers and Us, an all-day workshop on Monday, April 22 in Perth. Columnist Michael Runtz (of wolf howls and other shenanigans) will present the

natural history of beavers. Beavers and Us runs 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Civitan Hall. All day, plus lunch and coffee, costs $10. Ensure one’s lunch by registering by Monday, April 15 at aileenmerriam@gmail.com or 613-335-3589. For program details, visits www.specialplaces. ca/beaverworkshop.

The fields were white as snow EMC lifestyle - When one lives in an area for many years, one sees changes. Loggerhead Shrikes, once commonly nesting here, are now an Endangered Species. Conversely, Bald Eagles formerly Endangered are now surprisingly common; half a dozen pairs nest locally. Even more dramatic has been the explosion in goose numbers. Currently most geese are on their way to Hudson Bay and points farther north. They pause here to feed, waiting for the frozen north to thaw. While here, they roost in open waters such as the Mississippi and Madawaska rivers, and feed in agricultural fields. Recently Art Goldsmith and I counted thousands of Canada Geese between Arnprior, Antrim and Pakenham. In one flock containing about a thousand birds were three smaller white geese. They were Snow Geese, which just like Canadas, have had populations soar in recent decades. Small groups of Snow Geese are regularly encountered locally during spring and fall migration. Sometimes Snows mingle with Canada Geese but they can also be on their own. However, the numbers of Snow Geese in our area are mere drops in the buckets compared to those that visit fields southeast of Ottawa. Recently I visited fields

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way northeast of Cornwall, one of the prime staging sites for Snow Geese in Ontario. It was late afternoon and a cold northwest wind revealed that winter had not fully surrendered to spring’s warm touch. The brisk wind pushed to the southeast the clouds that previously had dominated the sky. When the evening sun finally broke through, it illuminated the eastern sky purple and black. It was against this dramatic backdrop that I saw one of the most memorable spectacles of my life. Waves of white dots moved across the darkened sky. At first there were hundreds, then thousands of dots. They were Snow Geese, and as their black-tipped wings lifted and dropped, they looked like tiny pulsating Christmas lights. Eventually the geese dropped like snowflakes into

the fields, filling them and creating the illusion of a carpet of snow. I estimated that more than a hundred thousand geese were present. Not all were white. Some geese bore white heads and gray-blue bodies. These dark birds were previously called Blue Geese until researchers found them to be merely a colour variety of Snow Geese. Why so many geese? One big reason was the transformation of prairie and agricultural grassland to cornfield due to the increased use of corn as biofuel. When geese arrive at their northern nesting grounds, the females depend on stored fat for egg production. If fat, they produce a large clutch of eggs. If thin, few or no eggs are laid. Cornfields being rich feeding sites in winter have resulted in decades of higher egg production, and goose populations have risen exponentially. All goose species have increased; Ross’s, Cackling, and Greater White-fronted Geese are also being seen with increasing regularity. Large numbers of geese will be present for a few more weeks. Since rare species could be present with the Canadas, it certainly is worthwhile to stop and take a closer gander! The Nature number is 613387-2503; email is mruntz@ start.ca.

Arnprior Fair to host first Ranch Night fundraising dance Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC events – The Arnprior Fair’s new board of directors met last week to plan an upcoming dance fundraiser. There are several new directors this year, contributing fresh ideas to help generate enthu-

siasm and offset costs for the annual fair, held Aug. 8 to 11 this year. One is likely a first for the area: Ranch Night. “This isn’t something that’s been done in Arnprior before,� agriculture director Martin Strathof said. “We’ve had a lot of support, and it’s been really nice to see the community come together.�

Ranch Night will see a country music dance, complete with barbecue and, hopefully, everyone in a plaid shirt (for a door prize) and hillbilly bests. Set for Saturday, May 4, starting at 8 p.m. at Nick Smith Centre, the event costs $10 for admission. Tickets are available at Peebles Lottery in

the Arnprior Shopping Centre. Murray’s Taxi will offer a discount fare to the event. Music is by Schnob Disc Jockey Services; the event is open to anyone 19 years old or older. The logo contest for a new look to the Arnprior Fair posters and other materials ends that evening with the revelation of the winner.

Double choirs in May

Prior Players set to perform

EMC events - Double! Double! Two choirs in two concerts are what music-lovers have in store in May. The Nepean Choir and Arnprior Community Choir will join forces to present a program of contrasts, from the sublime harmonies of Handel, Schubert and Mozart to the rollicking rhythms of some foot-stomping East Coast sea shanties. It will definitely be a ‘double-bill’ event. The two choirs got together in Arnprior Saturday for a joint rehearsal in preparation for the two concerts. The spring concerts will be held in Ottawa and Arnprior. The first musical offering will be held Friday May 3 at 8 p.m. in Woodroffe United Church in Ottawa. The two choirs will follow up with a concert Sunday May 5 at 3 p.m. at Grace St. Andrew’s United Church in Arnprior. The cost for tickets is $15 for adults and $10 for children 12 years and under. Tickets are available at the Arnprior Book Shop and from all choir members.

EMC events - Save the date for Prior Players’ spring performance of ‘Don’t Dress for Dinner’, a comedy by Marc Camoletti, adapted by Robin Hawdon. The hilarious comedy farce is set in a stylishly converted French farmhouse. A cast of three men and three women leave you wondering “who’s with who?” Prior Players Marcel Girard and Alan Rowsom return to the stage along with Ed Murphy who made his stage debut in ‘Arnprior’s History on Stage’. After enjoying her debut in ‘Arnprior’s

History on Stage’, Lynn Grinstead was happy to accept the part of Suzanne. Returning to the Prior Players stage is Angela Yach in the part of Jacqueline. Prior Players also welcomes newcomer Amanda Dixie who plays Suzette. Performances are May 3, 4, 10 and 11 with the curtain rising at 8 p.m. Prior Players is also pleased to offer a matinee on Saturday, May 4 at 2 p.m. For more information, e-mail priorplayers@gmail.com or call 613-6235585.

REAL Tree-Hugger campaign initiated Steve Newman Steve.newman@metroland.com

OPEN HOUSE GUIDE

0411.R0012026644

EMC news - The new and REAL Tree-Hugger campaign is one way to put a voice to the forestry industry. “The forestry industry has almost no voice in urban Ontario,” says Jeff Muzzi, manager of forestry services for the County of Renfrew. “If you say we cut down trees, right away it’s a negative instead of something that is sustainable.” But membership as a REAL Tree-Hugger campaign, is an effort to change that. The program was initiated by the Northwest Ontario Municipal Association, as a way to puts a face to forestry, to the people who support their families and make a living from the industry, says Lacey Rose, who works as a forestry for the County of Renfrew. The same STEVE NEWMAN/METROLAND campaign calls for holders of REAL Tree-HugCounty of Renfrew forester Lacy Rose and manager of forestry services Jeff Muzzi proud- ger postcards to mail them, as already printed, ly display their buttons proclaiming them as REAL tree-huggers. to Kathleen Wynne, Premier, Legislative Building, Queen’s Park, Toronto, Ont., M7A 1A1. The acronym, REAL, is explained on the front of the post card. It says a REAL TreeHugger knows that sustainable forestry:

EMC news - Renfrew County council has approved the purchase of a half acre of property next to the Deep River and District Hospital to build a new paramedic base. A station shared with the Deep River Fire Department is already in place in nearby Chalk River, but much more space is needed for the paramedics. County staff says the property is an excellent site, partly because it’s close to the hospital’s emergency services department. The purchase price, says county property and development director Paul Moreau, is one dollar. Tenders will likely be requested this winter,

with construction expected by the summer. “It’s a perfect situation because it allows for some significant sharing of resources with the hospital,” said Moreau. “It fits better for service delivery.” Deep River is also among area hospitals with a helicopter pad for airlifting patients to Ottawa, Toronto and other hospitals. The property for the Deep River ambulance base station is 65 by 75 metres, or .445 of an acre. The site will house three ambulance bays and additional space for equipment storage, says county emergency services director Mike Nolan. Renfrew County’s paramedic service already has base stations in Eganville (where space is shared with the fire department), Arnprior, Renfrew, Pembroke, Petawawa and Barry’s Bay.

• renews and replenishes the ecosystem; • promotes economic growth; • accumulates more carbon; • and is the lifeblood of communities. On the other side of the card, a pre-written message to the premier says: “In recent years we have seen increasing resistance to forestry activities and a related reduction of available fibre under the guise of environmental protection, with little consideration of the economic and social needs of our communities. Recent activities by some environmental groups appear to assign a higher value to the environment than they do to economic and social development needs “To ensure a balanced approach, I call on the Government of Ontario to conduct transparent socio-economic impact assessments prior to decisions being made on all new or revised legislation, regulations and policies that may impact forestry.” Each letter leaves space for the sender to write his or her name and postal code before the line that read: “and I am a REAL Tree-hugger.” For more information about the campaign, check out www.realtreehugger.wordpress.com.

Electricity rates going up 2.9 per cent May 1 EMC news – Electricity rates are on the rise again in Ontario. The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) announced its latest rate increases for Ontario electricity consumers this week. On May 1, Smart meter prices will increase to: • Off-peak - an additional 0.4 cents to 6.7 ¢/kWh;

• Mid-peak - an additional 0.5 cents to 10.4 ¢/kWh; • Peak - an additional 0.6 cents to 12.4¢/ kWh. The five per cent increase in electricity prices will be in effect through the summer until Nov. 1. Consumers will see an increase of about $3.63 on the ‘Electricity’ line, or about 2.9 per

cent on the total monthly bill for a household with a typical consumption pattern that uses 800 kWh per month. Residential consumers typically use about 64% of their electricity during off-peak hours and about 18% in each of the mid-peak and onpeak periods. About 10 per cent of consumers in Ontario do not pay Smart meter rates.

For those people the monthly cost of electricity increases are going up four cents. Another 10 per cent of Ontario consumers have contracts with electricity retailers, so their rates will not change. The OEB suggests the rate increases reflects an increase in energy costs associated with renewable energy sources, hydroelectric and nuclear.

Province uses social network MP launches petition against ‘outrageous’ new fees on tires to seek out budget input EMC news – The provincial government is inviting people throughout Ontario to share their ideas in innovative ways for this year’s provincial budget. Minister of Finance Charles Sousa is travelling across the province as well as holding telephone town halls to hear from as many communities and organizations as possible in advance of the budget. This year, for the first time, pre-budget consultations will include digital conversations. People can learn about the budget process by visiting the Budget Talks page and can participate in the conversation by following @ONgov on Twitter or by sharing what mat-

ters to them through the new, online interactive budget tool. The government says in a news release it is committed to eliminating the deficit by 2017-18 in a way that is both “fair and fiscally responsible,” while strengthening the economy so it can create jobs for the people of Ontario. In-person and telephone pre-Budget consultations began in February and will run until mid-April, with 12 sessions being held across the province, including one in Ottawa. Ontarians can also send their ideas by mail, email or fax or join the Twitter conversation at #budgettalks.

Box 4080, 505 Miller Avenue, Markham, Ontario, L3R 9R8 hereby gives notice that an application has been made for a Category 2, Class ‘A’ quarry below water to excavate aggregate from a quarry of 132.7 hectares (68.4 to be extracted), located in:

EMC news – Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke John Yakabuski MPP has joined with his colleagues in the Ontario Progressive Conservative caucus in launching a petition calling on the provincial government to stop increases to Ontario Tire Stewardship (OTS) fees for agriculture tires that came into effect on April 1. The new fees, which include tires for agricultural vehicles, dump trucks and equipment used in the forestry sector, will increase the cost of doing business by as much as 2,200 per cent, Yakabuski maintains. The eco-fee for a front tire on a harvester combine, for example, will jump to $352.80 - up from just $15.29. “These new fees are just another example of the Ontario Liberals making policy without consulting or considering those that would be impacted.” Yakabuski said. “At a time when businesses in rural Ontario are struggling just to keep their heads above water, these new fees put our farmers and foresters at a huge competitive disadvantage.” The new fees classify agricultural tires as off-road. Yakabuski pointed out that no other province has fees close to the level of those in Ontario. As an example, the eco fees on the tires for a John Deer 9770 combine in Ontario would cost $1,646.40, compared to $210 in British Columbia, $90 in Saskatchewan, $54 in New-

foundland, and $24 in Prince Edward Island and Manitoba. “This massive increase in Ontario Tire Stewardship fees for agricultural tires will take millions out of our agricultural industry and cause losses to our farm equipment dealerships,” said Opposition Agriculture Critic Ernie Hardeman. “We need to ask ourselves how it can cost that much more to recycle a tractor tire in Ontario than in other provinces?” By contrast, the PC Party has unveiled a new plan that holds manufacturers and importers of tires responsible for recycling, but gives them the freedom to work with other businesses to find the best way possible to carry out that responsibility. “The PC Party is committed to scrapping this tire program and would hold manufacturers and importers of tires responsible for recycling their own waste.” Yakabuski said. The PC plan would permit competition among different tire-recycling service providers, rather than having one organization control the marketplace. The PCs would remove the governmentmandated control that industry-funding organizations currently have over recycling electronics, tires and household hazardous materials by opening up all of these sectors to the free-market.

Exciting night at the pageant: Bergins wins Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

EMC entertainment - The annual Teen Ontario East Pageant was about a whole lot more than beauty. The 20 delegates put their best foot forward, in high heels, before an enthusiastic crowd of more than 350 people at the Renfrew Recreation Centre. But they also strutted a lot more than evening gowns and photogenic qualities, which accounted for just two of the eight individual awards. There were also awards presented, during the threehour show, for best interview, charity and talent, as well as the Lindsay Norton Memorial Award, formerly the Ambassador’s Award. A ceremonial cheque was presented to Jocelyn Lamont of the Candlelighters for $2,468, although the final amount raised by pageant delegates will actually exceed $2,500. Winning the charity award, for raising more than $1,400 of that total, was Kaitlyn Kargus of Renfrew. Allison MacKenzie of Kinburn took home the Lindsay Norton, named after the 2002 pageant second runner-up who was an avid supporter of organ donation. In fact, her death a few years ago resulted in organ donations to nine individuals. The award goes to an allaround participant, who brings perseverance, other positive contributions and friendship to the pageant. There were also two other awards, which didn’t factor into the judging panel’s final scores to determine the pageant winner and first and second runner-up. Bailey Plunkett of Renfrew won the friendship award that was voted on by all delegates, while a Teen East Ontario merit award went to Breigh Whalen of Douglas. But the best of the honours went to Sonya Bergin of Renfrew, as pageant champion. An indication she might be in the running happened in the three-delegate talent final. The 16-year-old Grade 11 student at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School played the keyboard and provided powerful vocals for Sara McLachlan’s song, In the Arms of an Angel. The other talent finalists were Erin Humphrey of Renfrew and Cassidy Whitelock of Arnprior. “My expectations were that it was going to be a lot of work and a lot of fun,” said Bergin. By becoming Teen Ontario East Pageant’s most recent princess, Bergin knows this year will be like none other.

Above right, Miss Teen Ontario East Sonya Bergin of Renfrew, centre, joins runner-up Saralyn Deslaurier of Renfrew and eventual second runner-up Tianna Tetteler of Barry’s Bay. “It means a new start and lots of fundraising … and being a good role model,” added Bergin, whose familymembers watching from the stands included parents Michael and Penny. Announcing most of the winners were show emcees Jason Smith and Grace Stewart, the 2012 Teen Ontario East Pageant title-holder. RUNNERS-UP

Eventual runner-up Saralyn Deslaurier of Renfrew won the first individual award of the evening, as the most photogenic contestant. Eventual second runner-up Tianna Tetteler of Barry’s Bay also showed she was going to be in the running by winning the evening-wear and best-interview awards. Bergin, who watched previous editions of this pageant from the audience, said her reasons for participating included the fundraising efforts for an important cause — namely the Candlelighters childhood cancer support programs, which support eastern Ontario young cancer patients and their families. Runner-up Deslaurier had plenty of family support in the crowd, too, including grandparents, siblings Bonnie, Emily and Michael, and parents Jim and Mary. The Grade 11 student at Renfrew Collegiate Institute called the preparation for and participation in the pageant, which had all delegates onsite since Thursday, amazing. “I didn’t have many expectations,” said the 17-year-old,

who was convinced to enter the pageant by cancer survivor Paige Dillabough of Renfrew. “I really wanted to be there for the experience and I just wanted to have fun.” Without catching her breath, Deslaurier added enthusiastically, “I’m just so happy. I’m really looking forward to this year.” One of the most touching moments of the night was the singing tribute by Julie Larocque of Lake Clear to childhood cancer survivors, including three on stage — Paige Dillabough, Nathan Vandecamp of Douglas and Jessica McCoy of Munster, Ont.

EMOTONAL SPEECH

Another emotional time was Teen Ontario East Pageant winner Grace Stewart’s outgoing speech. “Don’t cry because it’s over; smile because it happened,” said Stewart, quoting Dr. Seuss. Looking back, she said the year has presented her “with a gift inside of a gift, and has been nothing short of amazing. It has been wonderful to participate in a wide variety of charity events, from flipping burgers at BBQs to taking pledges and hosting various telethons.” She said her growth in the past year has happened in profound ways, both emotionally and spiritually. She then advised the new titleholder to be patient, kind and proactive: “You will encounter challenges that will test your preparedness for your success as a role model.”

TINA FORTIN/SUBMITTED

Arnprior’s Chanelle Fortin at the Canadian Snowboard Cross Championships at Big White Ski Resort near Kelowna, B.C.

First Nationals amazing experience for gifted Arnprior snowboarder EMC sports – It was an awesome week at Big White, British Columbia for Chanelle Fortin from Arnprior, who attended her first ever Canadian Snowboard Cross Championships, competing against a strong contingent of riders from Canada and the United States. The Nor-Am Cup turned out to be more of a challenge than the local athlete had counted on when on Good Friday, just 20 minutes before the Junior National snowboard race, Fortin got hit on the hill by another boarder. The side wall of her snowboard was ripped out by the hit. Shaken and with no other

option, she showed her resilience by immediately hopping on her coach’s snowboard and racing down the mountain through banked turns and over large jumps to place 13th against the top juniors in Canada. On Saturday, still having to use a borrowed board, Fortin next competed in the Senior Nationals Snowboard Cross Championships against Canadian National and Canadian Development team members, as well as some top American boarders. Maelle Ricker, the current World and Olympic Champion, won the women’s race. Fortin showed her potential in the race against the seniors

The ArnpriorMcNab Ringette League held an open house at the Nick Smith Centre on March 22. More than 40 young girls, ranging from the age of five to 12, laced up their skates and got on the ice to try their hand at the sport.

placing 21st. On the men’s front, the Americans swept the podium. Chris Robanske was the best Canadian finishing fourth. Robanske won gold at the World Cup earlier this year. Back home, Fortin issued a big thank you to all her supporters. “It was just an incredible experience racing on a National level,” she said “It made me realize what I can do. “If I can get together the money for travel and a board to replace my broken one, you can be sure I will be out there again next winter proudly representing Arnprior.”

Junior Canadians close in on EOJHL title John Carter John.carter@metroland.com

The real photo of the Arnprior Juvenile Packers PATRICIA LEBOEUF/METROLAND

The year may have started off slow for the Arnprior Juvenile Packers, but it quickly picked up in speed as the players fine-tuned their skills together. The team photo with the team’s story in last week’s Chronicle-Guide was the wrong one. Above is the right one. In the back row, from left, are coach Tyler Baskin, Jarred Lance, Lance Laventure, Mitchell MacLaren, Tyler Virgin, Connor McLeod, Brady Rampton, Ryan Moriarty, Ryan Wall, Connor Budarick, Casey Shipman, Geoff Graham, Caleb Brown and coach Tyler Craig. From left are players Corey Little, Mitchell Crozier, Joe Gray and Mitch Brydges. Posing on the ice are Sam Freemark and Nial Carkner. Missing from the photo are trainer and manager Doug Heeney and timekeeper Paula Crossman.

EMC news – By the time you read this Taylor Collins, Mitch Parker and Matt Couvrette could have claimed the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League crown that they came so close to last year as members of the Arnprior Packers. The Ottawa Junior Canadians took a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven EOJHL final Sunday with a 3-2 overtime win over the Athens Aeros. Collins set up Parker with the winning goal 10:56 into overtime in Athens to give the Metro champions a stranglehold in the series. Collins had a hand in both other Canadians goals, scoring in the second period and setting up Jordan Fequet in the first. Couvrette made 31 saves in the Ottawa net. The trio are among seven former Packers in the Canadians line-up. Arnprior made it to the Metro-Valley final last year, losing a close series to Gatineau. Ottawa doubled Athens, the Rideau-St. Lawrence champion, 6-3 in game one April 4, before coming home to win 5-3 Saturday, April 6. Game four was scheduled for Tuesday, April 9 at the Brian Kilrea Arena (past press deadline). In the three games, Collins has added six more points to his 28 in 14 previous playoff games. Parker has added five points. Canadians 3 Aeros 2 (OT) The Junior Canadians held a 56-33 shots on goal edge, but behind an outstanding goaltending performance from the Aeros Erik Miksik, Athens hung in there. The teams were deadlocked at one following 20 minutes. Ottawa led 2-1 after 40 minutes before Mark Craig pulled the home team when he solved Canadians backstopper Matt Couvrette at 11:31 of the third stanza. Brian Berry had the game’s first goal for Athens while Fequet pulled Ottawa even only

54 seconds later. Collins shot the Canadians into the lead with the first shorthanded goal of the series when he connected with 14:19 gone in the middle frame of regulation. The victory runs Ottawa’s playoff-game winning streak to 14, and was their first extra-time triumph since game one of the Metro Division semifinal series over Clarence Creek. The Canadians are gunning for their second EOJHL crown in four years. The Aeros are in their third EOJHL final, but have never captured the elusive title. The Junior Canadians bit into a 3-1 deficit when Jamie Molinski scored at the 13:32 mark of the second period, and then added three unanswered third period markers, including two more from Molinski to complete a hat trick in a come-from-behind 5-3 win in Game 2 . Both of Molinski goals in the final stanza came on the powerplay, including the equalizer at 2:27. He also added insurance with the extra man with 2:48 remaining. Sandwiched in-between, Mitch Parker pulled the trigger to snap a 3-3 tie with what proved to be the game winner with 7:20 left to play. Couvrette handled 17 of 20 shots in the Ottawa goal-crease while the Canadians tested a busy Miksik 48 times. Canadians 6 Aeros 3. The Canadians broke a 2-2 deadlock with two second period goals at Centre 76 last Thursday on their way to a 6-3 win over Aeros. Parker and Collins were among the six Ottawa shooters to solve Miksik. Jordan Fequet, Connor Devereaux, Luke Gagnon (another former Packer) and Max Veronneau also clicked for OJC. Special teams played a key role with the Canadians scoring two goals in five chances. The Aeros were held off the scoresheet in seven opportunities. Couvrette faced 33 shots in the OJC goal. With files from Peter Clark

The custodial staff at Arnprior District High School accept a gift basket in appreciation for all their help in making the Get WITH It! indoor walking program a success.

Get WITH It! wraps up season five EMC events - The halls of Arnprior District High School will be a little quieter now, as the Get WITH It! walking program wrapped up another season on Thursday, March 28. The organizers and a group of dedicated volunteers and walkers were on hand during the last week to present a basket of goodies to the custodial staff, just in time for Easter weekend. The group really appreciated the support of the school administration and custodial staff, which allows the free program to run during the cold winter months. Thanks also to the many volunteers who make it possible to offer two nights per week for five months, so that people in our community have a safe and warm place to get exercise.

Over the course of the five months, 282 walkers registered with the program, attended 36 evenings of walking, and logged 1,768 walks. Well done Arnprior! The Get WITH It! walking program will resume in November. The program is always looking for volunteers, so if you are interested in helping out, contact the Nick Smith Centre at 613623-7301 and your name will be forwarded to the organizers. All of the dedicated walkers are encouraged to keep up their Tuesday/Thursday walking habit by taking to the streets or using the outdoor track at the high school. Watch for announcements in the paper in the fall to report the start of the next season.

Cyclists invited to form new club EMC events - A group of area cyclists is forming a club to promote their sport and encourage safe cycling. There will be an organizing meeting of a proposed Renfrew County Cycling Club (RCCC) in the restaurant at Sands on Golden Lake, Thursday, April 18, at 6:30 p.m. The objective is to see if there is enough interest and commitment to start an association. Bike clubs are common in areas where cycling is a well-established sport. For instance, a major cycling event is coming to Arnprior July 24. With the growing popularity of cycling everywhere, including Renfrew County, local riders felt it was time to get organized. For example, they would like to hold regular, organized group rides to promote the sport to new riders, provide riders with opportunities to socialize on two wheels, see new territory, and learn from more experienced riders. Organizers hope to collect and distribute cycle touring information with printed and online maps showing people the best bike routes and rating them according to road and bike type, difficulty, scenery and other factors. Road safety is another key objective of the club. Most local roads do not have bike lanes, and some are more dangerous than others for riders. “Most local drivers are quite courteous, but they are unaccustomed to cyclists and unaware of the basic rules and practices that can prevent

tragedies,” said Killaloe school teacher Kathy Eisner. “A little public education would go a long way in terms of raising safety awareness among both drivers and cyclists.” Organizers hope forming a club will lead to more cycle tourism in Renfrew County. “Cycling is good for the health of us locals,” says Chris Hinsperger, who lives in Eganville and owns the Bonnechere Caves. “As an entrepreneur in tourism development, I would be negligent if I didn’t say that having cyclists come to our area to share our roads with us is good for the economic health of Renfrew County.” Organizers believe that the cycling and scenery in Renfrew County compares favourably with anywhere in Canada and would draw thousands of tourists to the area. “I’ll get on a plane and spend lots of money to go cycle in a place half as nice as the Ottawa Valley,” said Stone Fence Theatre’s producer, Ish Theilheimer, of Golden Lake. “It’s a cyclist’s paradise, and we shouldn’t be keeping this a secret.” With a variety of terrain and a lot of quiet countryside, there are many local roads that are perfect for cyclists of any level. The club members hope to encourage local businesses to see the opportunities for them in being bike-friendly and advertising this publicly. Anyone interested can join the meeting on April 18 or visit the Renfrew County Cycling Facebook group.

ADHS wins major award at robotics competition EMC lifestyle – Arnprior District High School’s robotics club went to Toronto with an 80-pound, Frisbeethrowing, pyramid-climbing robot named Rory and came back with the Judges’ Award at this year’s First Robotics Competition East Regional Finals. The ADHS team, known as C4 Robotics, competed in the Greater Toronto East Qualification tournament just before the March break. The competition required C4 Robotics to design, build, program and operate an 80-pound robot in the six weeks leading up to the event. The robot had to be capable of being controlled remotely and compete in a three-robot-on-three-robot team game involving throwing Frisbees at targets and climbing a giant pyramid. While the C4 Robotics team did not qualify for the world championships being held in St. Louis April 24 to 27, the members were presented

with the Judges’ Award. The Judges’ Award is recognition of not only C4 Robotics’ engineering prowess but also the club’s community involvement. C4 Robotics is well known in the Arnprior area for its local activism. The club has held many fundraisers and has made many presentations to local service clubs. C4 Robotics has built several fundraising relationships within the Arnprior community and has even hosted a Halloween event for the local youth. The judges at the competition are made up of 18 professional engineering and corporate community members. C4 Robotics formed in 2011 under the guidance of ADHS science teacher Peter Cudmore and technology teacher Mauri Gonzalez. For more information on the competition, visit www.firstroboticscanada.org.

De Keyzer draws crowd to library, Ridgen expected to do same

R0012026628

EMC events - An appreciative, standing room only crowd welcomed Canadian blues guitar icon Jack de Keyzer to the Arnprior Public Library Sunday. The two-time Juno Award winner performed his Evolution of Blues Guitar show featuring many blues guitarists and their influence on each other from the 1930s – 1960s. De Keyzer was pleased not only with the turnout, but with the calibre of questions during the question-and-answer that followed the hour-long performance. “I’ve played just about every community in Ontario, but this was my first visit to Arnprior and I couldn’t have asked for a warmer reception” said de Keyzer. Proceeds of the event go to the Friends of the Library who are also helping to co-ordinate the library’s April 14 presentation. This coming Sunday, award winning documentary film maker David Ridgen will present ‘The Art of Confronting a Killer’ – a look at the film Mississippi Cold Case. “It promises to be a thoughtprovoking talk including a display of artifacts such as an authentic Klan mask” says chief librarian Karen DeLuca. “We’re thrilled that we’ve been able to attract such high profile presenters this month. It’s all part of the library’s contribution to the celebration of Books, Reading and the Arts as the Arnprior Book Shop celebrates its 20th anni-

It was all out of focus. He attended Arnprior District High School and then went on to study film at Queen’s University, graduating in 1991. Since then he has lived and worked in the high Arctic, the Middle East and throughout North America making films, radio and online programs for CBC, MSNBC, NPR and other media outlets. He is probably best known for his films resurrecting allegedly cold cases of unsolved

murders in Canada and the American South, and for his works on the Israel/Palestine conflict. Ridgen’s award-winning films have been screened around the world in theatres, at festivals and on television to critical acclaim. During the Arnprior presentation, he will take the audience through some of his most interesting experiences as a film-maker from seeking social justice on a global scale to confronting killers on their doorsteps. The $12 tickets must be purchased in advance from the library and Book Shop. Seating is limited. The presentation begins at 1 p.m.

Documentary film-maker David Ridgen, who will deliver a presentation at the Arnprior Library Sunday, April 14, is shown recently at the Henry Hezekiah Dee gravesite in Mississippi. Ridgen has done a documentary on cold case murder investigations.

Help available in Renfrew County Counselling sessions for boys at horse ranch for kids considering self harm EMC news - Does your boy hide his feelings? Could he benefit from the camaraderie with other boys in a healthy setting? Independent Child and Youth Counselling (ICYC) located at 1347 Stittsville Main St. is offering a 10-week group sessions for youth boys aged 10 -13 years old in Fitzroy just east of Arnprior. The 10-week session is fee-based and will be held on a horse ranch located in Fitzroy Harbour. The focus of the weekly groups is based on social and life skills related to issues and challenge that youth boys struggle with. The facilitator of this group is Julie Clarke, a qualified child and youth care practitioner. Starting April 18 through to June 20 from 6 - 7:30 p.m., boys aged 10-13 years can attend 10 weekly sessions. There is a low participant- tohelper ratio in order to

enhance the therapeutic work a group setting offers. Topics discussed will include family, bullying, respect, acceptance, feelings and self-esteem; the intention of the group is to assist participant’s in better understanding selfregulation and awareness of emotions and feelings and how they drive reaction (response) in certain situations. Pre-selected male professionals are also invited as guest speakers. Individuals registered to attend the group sessions will gain social and life skills enhancing emotional coping, understanding and development. Participants are expected to attend each weekly session in order to preserve the quality of the group experience. The individual fee is $45 per week and is required upon registration. A light snack, weekly communication and access to a qualified mental

health provider is included. Group work is a practical way of helping youth; there is not only a substantial savings in the cost of working directly with qualified mental health professional, the safe and secure atmosphere that is created can help participants by normalizing intense feelings and emotions. ICYC is an independently owned private child and youth counselling practice. It is a fully insured supervised practice and aims to provide high quality therapeutic mental health services for children, youth and their families. This is a fee-based service and is not covered under provincial health care. However, receipts will be provided for those who may be eligible under an employer group benefit plan. Visit ICYC’s website for more information: independentcyc.com.

EMC lifestyle - Is there immediate help for youth who are thinking of suicide or self-harm? Unfortunately, Renfrew County has experienced too many suicides, of youth and adults as well as many more who have attempted suicide, but fortunately were helped in time. Suicide is now the second leading cause of death for Canadian youth ages 15 to 19 and that up to 30 per cent of youth think about suicide at some point in their life and it is one of greatest fears that many parents have. Over the year, especially the last two, there has been increased professional and public education on the issue of suicide and suicide prevention, with access to websites, publications and public presentation for youth, parents and professionals. This increase in public education has provided a greater understanding of the issues related to suicide as well as the signs of suicidal ideation and prevention of self harm thinking. What can a youth or a parent do if there is concern about suicide? Is there help available and will it be immediate, or are youth in crisis put on waiting lists? The Phoenix Centre for Children and Families would like all

youth, families and the community to know that despite a growing difficulty in meeting mental health needs in Renfrew County, any time safety is involved there will always be an immediate response. In 2002, the Phoenix Centre became an active partner in the development and implementation of the bilingual Children’s Mental Health Crisis Line. The Crisis Line is managed by Youth Services Bureau in Ottawa, which makes available a clinician who can respond in person to any crisis phone calls made by children, youth or parents in relation to any mental health issue, including suicidal thoughts/attempts. During non-working hours, any person can call the crisis line and receive helpful support information, which, with permission of the caller, can be passed on to the Phoenix Centre for follow-up contact to be made. Hospitals and police are also key first responders to situations where there may be danger of selfharm and these are available 24/7. As well, the Phoenix Centre will respond to any referral related to suicide or self-harm immediately and provide support, information

and help to ensure the right steps are taken to focus on safety first, then follow-up treatment. Phoenix Centre executive director Greg Lubimiv states that suicide is one of the most difficult areas for anybody to deal with. “It is difficult to imagine that a young person would be experiencing so much pain and disconnection that their only solution seems to be suicide. The good news is that working with youth who have attempted suicide, or expressed thoughts of suicide, we know that the mass majority are able to move forward and find new ways of thinking, managing stress and having healthy happy lives.� There is more to do, in terms of education, development of more effective and co-ordinated responses to self-harm threats. One of the most important areas that needs more focus is developing resilience in children and youth so that self-harm is not ever seen as an option.

WZPS collects 125,000 pennies for Third World children Patricia Leboeuf pleboeuf@metroland.com

EMC news - A bag of pennies can gift a child in a developing country with enough water to last a lifetime and the students at Walter Zadow Public School are well aware of this fact. Students and their parents managed to collect 51 of these life-saving bags, totaling about $1,250. The money will be donated to the We Create Change program, a drive from the Free the Children organization. The program is co-sponsored by the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) and the bags were hauled to the Arnprior branch on April 3 and stored in the vault. “I can’t believe it,” said RBC manager of client care Michelle Kelsey. “That’s a lot pennies, that’s a lot of work.” “What a wonderful thing to do,” she added. To make room for the treasure hoard, many of the vault’s compartments had to be emptied and they still make for a tight fit. It will also be slow going to get the pennies out. Policy dictates that only five bags can be moved by the bank’s courier, but all funds will go to the

charity. With pennies going out of circulation, the school’s student council thought it was the perfect opportunity to participate in the fundraiser. Students were each given a bag to fill and council members made class rounds. “I think that it’s important that children are aware of what’s happening outside of their own school community and know what’s happening in the world by supporting other communities in need,” said principal Kim Shoveller. “It’s nice to see to see kids supporting kids in other communities,” she added. The students at Walter Zadow are not unfamiliar with charity. Last year they participated in mass in the Water for Haiti project, raising $700 through various drives. “Our kids kind of latched on to the water (projects),” said Shoveller. The school is also sending 30 students to Gatineau on April 29 for the National We Day. It’s an event that celebrates young people involved in local and global change.

The council representatives discussed the highs and lows of the school year at each school, brainstormed and shared ideas. “You are the voice of the students,” Goulet told Sheppard. “During the process you learn how the board makes decisions. It’s been a great experience and I’ll never forget. It’s an awesome position.” Each candidate was given 10 minutes to make a presentation to the delegations and both Sheppard and Stafford took advantage of the opportunity to spend face time with the students from all the schools during breaks in the day. A maximum of three representatives from each delegation was permitted to vote. The candidates and current student trustee were not eligible to vote. Sheppard was surprised and thrilled to have won the election. “As you can tell, I was very nervous,” he said complimenting Stafford on her presentation. “Thank you very much. Let’s make next year a great year.” Sheppard, 17, says he has been told he has excellent leadership skills since he was young. In Grade 6 he attended the Ontario Education Leadership Centre and said it changed his outlook on life. He also recently returned to the camp this past year. Sheppard volunteers at TV COGECO, working in the production room as well as doing camera work. He has also volunteered at many special events in the community and is on the Link Crew.

Annual Hike for Hospice Alerting people to signs of diabetes Diabetes education team helps promote awareness of risk factors to be held on May 5 EMC events – On Sunday, May 5, people from across Renfrew County will participate in the annual Hike for Hospice Palliative Care, hosted by Hospice Renfrew. Registration is set to begin at 1 p.m. with the hike to follow at 2 p.m., all happening outside the Renfrew Presbyterian Church along the Millennium Trail. Refreshments will be served shortly after the hike. Once again this year the theme is It Takes a Team. Hospice Renfrew is celebrating families, workplaces, schools and clubs by encouraging team participation. Participants are encouraged to come dressed in team colours and outfits to show their team spirit. Individuals are also encouraged to come out and take part in this fun family event. This year the lead hiker will be Hughie Nolan who will be running a marathon at Mount Everest in May to raise funds for Hospice Renfrew. Every hiker will be given a ticket for the chance to win a 51-inch Samsung plasma TV donated by Utronki’s Appliance and TV Sales. An additional ticket will be given for each $100 pledge earned. There will also be a prize for the team with the highest pledge amount

as a team. This is a major fundraiser for Hospice Renfrew, which serves the whole Upper Ottawa Valley including the Arnprior area. This year our goal is to raise $55,000. Every dollar raised stays in the community to directly offset operational costs of the hospice and allow comprehensive end-of-life care to families across Renfrew County, completely free of charge. As one family member recently commented: “We are fortunate to have a facility like Hospice Renfrew available to us when necessary. The hospice not only takes care of the patient but also provides comfort to the family. Just knowing that our loved ones are in a comfortable friendly environment helps the family in difficult times.” Hospice Renfrew is working to ensure more Canadians, especially in Renfrew County, receive the end-oflife care they and their families need. Hike for Hospice Palliative Care pledge forms are available at RBC in Renfrew and the Hospice Renfrew Office. For more information, call Hospice Renfrew at 613-433-3993, or visit the website at www.hospicerenfrew.ca. Also visit www.hikeforhospicerenfrew.ca to learn more about the Hike for Hospice Palliative Care.

EMC lifestyle – The key to fighting and controlling the high incidence of diabetes in this area is awareness. The Renfrew County Diabetes Education Team consists of Certified Diabetes Educators (Registered Dietitians and Registered Nurses) who work in cooperation with physicians, pharmacists, and family members to deliver client-centred care. Team members are based out of five hospitals in the county, including Arnprior (613-623-7720) and Renfrew (613-432-4851, ext. 162). For advanced care they provide referrals and telehealth sessions with specialists. To make an appointment, call any of the sites. No referral is needed to meet with the team. Diabetes is a chronic disease which results in high levels of glucose or sugar in the blood. It occurs when the body either cannot produce insulin or cannot properly use the insulin it produces. The 2 most common types of diabetes are Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the pancreas no longer produces any or very little insulin. Type 2 diabetes is a disease that occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin to meet the body’s needs and/or the body is un-

able to respond properly to the actions of the insulin. Prediabetes refers to a condition where a person’s blood sugar or glucose levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. Despite the name, prediabetes doesn’t have to progress to type 2 diabetes. FIGHTING BACK

Lifestyle changes and medication (if needed), can improve your picture. Studies have shown that with moderate weight loss (5-10 per cent) and regular exercise (30 minutes 5 days/week), the onset of type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed by up to 58 per cent of the time. Having prediabetes also means you are at very high risk of developing hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) which can ultimately lead to heart attacks and strokes. However, this does not have to happen. Aggressive treatment of prediabetes and other vascular risk factors can keep you healthy. This means healthy eating, being physically active, achieving a healthy weight, making sure your blood pressure and cholesterol are good, and, of course, not smoking.

Are you at risk? If you are age 40 or over, you are at risk for type 2 diabetes and should be tested at least every three years. If any of the risk factors below apply to you, you should be tested for diabetes earlier and/or more often. • Having a family history of diabetes • Being a member of a high risk population (Native, African, Asian, Hispanic) • Existing complications associated with diabetes (eye, nerve or kidney problems) • Having heart disease or high blood pressure • Being overweight • Having prediabetes Signs and symptoms of diabetes are: • Unusual thirst • Frequent urination • Weight change • Extreme fatigue or lack of energy • Blurred vision • Frequent or recurring infections • Cuts or bruises that are slow to heal • Tingling or numbness in hands or feet • Trouble getting or maintaining an erection However, remember that many people who have Type 2 diabetes may display no symptoms.

Marguirite proves why they call her ‘bad’ EMC lifestyle - It wasn’t only that Marguirite was an only child and spoiled beyond belief, but she had a way about her that riled everyone at the Northcote School. Often I couldn’t pin down exactly what it was I didn’t like about the young girl. But there were times it was all too obvious that Marguirite felt about me, exactly as I felt about her. Take the day she decided to walk home from school the long way. She could have just hopped down the road to her house less than half a mile had she chosen. But that day she decided she would go around the concession and walk to the Northcote side road with my little friend Joyce and me. We could have easily done without her company. There were things we wanted to talk about ... the new boy in senior fourth for instance. And we wouldn’t dare say a word about him in front of Marguirite because we might as well write it on the blackboard for the whole school to see. Marguirite couldn’t keep a thing to herself. It was a day I will not soon forget. And I can even remember what I had on that day, which had a lot to do with why I remember the details so well. Mother had made me a blouse out of bleached flour bag material, and to take away the look of its once holding flour, had dyed it a bright green with Ritz dye. And that day I had on this freshly dyed blouse over a white skirt, which had come in a hand-me-down box from my aunt in St. Catherines. Mother thought it was far too early in the season for a white skirt, but I prevailed on her, saying Marguirite had been in white for days. Well, that day, as we headed out after school, Joyce and I tried to ignore Marguirite as we walked along the Northcote side road. The ditches were full of water from the heavy rains we had that spring, and occasionally we would stop and kick small stones into the water, or coax a frog off the

gravel. Marguirite said she had better things to do with her time than talk to frogs and toss stones into a ditch. Joyce suggested she hurry on ahead of us and do them! My friend and I had on black brogue shoes ... Marguirite’s were patent leather, and they soon were covered with sand and dust. We pointed this fact out to her, saying we bet her mother would sure be mad when she got home and saw the mess of her good school footwear. Marguirite assured us her Mother never got mad at her. Joyce rolled her eyes skyward. We didn’t believe her for a minute. I couldn’t wait to get to the end of the side road so that this pest would leave us and head off in the direction that would take her on to her house. What if Marguirite decided to walk down past Briscoe’s General Store? That would mean she would be with us almost all the way home. The thought just about gave me a sick stomach. Joyce suggested to Marguirite that she would be late for supper if she walked with us much farther. Didn’t matter to her ‌ she assured us. Her mother would keep supper warm for her. It was sure different in our house. We better be there when it was time to sit down at the kitchen table or we didn’t eat. She was really getting on my nerves. I decided the best thing to do so that I could endure the rest of the walk

to the cross road was to pretend she wasn’t there. I squatted down on my haunches at the edge of the road, peering into the deep dark green water of the ditch. I told Joyce I could see tadpoles ‌ which, of course, I couldn’t. Joyce squatted too. We squinted into the water pretending to be deeply engrossed in what was in the water-filled ditches. Well, right out of the blue, Marguirite’s foot hit the middle of my back and then within seconds she connected with Joyce sending us both sprawling. We went headlong into the water. It wasn’t deep, but we came up spluttering and rubbing our eyes. All we could see of Marguirite was those spindly legs bolting down the Northcote side road. Joyce was out of the ditch first. She held her hand down towards me and helped me onto the side of the road. I could see Joyce staring at me. I followed the direction of her eyes. Great streams of green dye were running from the home made blouse, into the white hand-me-down skirt! I was starting to look like a patchwork quilt. I looked down the road to see if I could catch up to Marguirite. She was just a dot on the Northcote side road. There was nothing to do but head for home. By the time I hit the kitchen door, my clothes were dry and the green water mixed with weeds from the ditch and mud from the road, were caked to my legs. Only then did I burst into tears. Mother stripped my clothes, and even though it wasn’t yet Saturday night, I was given a bath in the copper tub before supper. All the time I lamented about the girl I hated with a passion. And once again Mother called my ordeal characterbuilding. I told Mother, after my ordeal with bad Marguirite, I thought I had had just about all the character-building I could stand in one lifetime!

Salmonella prompts pet food recall by Natura Pet Products affected by Salmonella from the dry pet food being recalled by Natura Pet Products, humans also are at risk from handling contaminated pet products, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the products or any surfaces exposed to these products. However, no Salmonellarelated illnesses have been confirmed to date. Pet owners who believe they have been infected with Salmonella should monitor themselves for some or all of the following symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal

Pet Talk

IAN STUPP cramping and fever. Rarely, Salmonella can result in more serious ailments, including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle

pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms. Consumers exhibiting these signs after having contact with this product should contact their family physician. Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets will have only decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your pet has been fed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian immediately. Natura Pet Products include

Innova, EVO, California Natural, Mother Nature, HealthWise and Karma Organic. For more information regarding the recall and the names and locations of the various retailers, call the Natura consumers hotline at 800224-6123. So what can we do to prevent this, nothing! Although manufacturers of pet food just like Natura make claims of quality control, purchasing of quality ingredients, etc., this has happened before and will continue to do so unless the government steps in and makes mandatory changes. Unlike human grade food, the by-products that make

up the pet food like poultry, grains, etc. are usually purchased from countries that have cheaper labour costs and no regulatory body to oversee the manufacturing and shipping of these by-products. It is much cheaper for the pet food manufacturers to procure sub quality by-products at a reduced cost, therefore increasing profits. Simple economics. Profits before safety! Ian owns and operates Wags & Whiskers Dog and Cat Grooming and Puppy Kindergarten at 118 John St. N., Arnprior.

INTRODUCING BEAR!! Bear came to the shelter as a stray, we searched for his owner but no one came for him. Bear is a large dog, approx 5 years old, we think he may be a Lab/Husky mix. He is a nice boy that knows his basic manners, he’s housebroken & crate trained. He loves people and is very social, he enjoys his walks and playtime and has lots of energy. He has been good with other dogs and would be ďŹ ne with older children. Bear will be a wonderful, faithful companion for his new family!

EMC lifestyle – Once again we find ourselves caught up in yet another pet food recall. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced that on March 18 Natura Pet Products was voluntarily recalling all dry dog, cat and ferret food because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.

The affected products are sold through veterinary clinics and select pet specialty retailers nationwide and in Canada, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, Malaysia and Costa Rica, as well as online.

I would like to convey my heartfelt appreciation to the staff of Bonnechere Manor for their loving care of my husband, Jack Tenhoeve. He was treated with complete respect and dignity. I could not have hand picked better people to care for him. For that, I am forever grateful. I also wish to thank Dr. Dipaolo for his compassionate care of Jack. I appreciate his honesty and guidance throughout this journey. I am grateful to beyond obedience for their kind support in a trying time. I knew I could count on them to the very best for my “family� and appreciate their generosity. Simply, thank you to all my friends for their outpouring of support & kindness. I cannot describe the strength I have drawn from all of you. You all knew the right thing to do which aided my peace of mind.

A very special thank you to Dr. Robson, nurses and staff at the Arnprior Hospital while I was a patient. Also to Dr. Burwash and staff on the 4th floor of the Ottawa Heart Institute for their excellent care during my stay there. A big thank you to all those who sent cards, visited and brought my meals.

For those who still have their dads Treat him with tender care. You will never know the emptiness As when you turn and he is not there. Forever in our hearts, John, Angie, Tyler, Andrea and Hanna

The other members of the popular ‘Mick Armitage Band’ are, from left, Grant Tomkinson, Al Tambay, Al Bragg (the Reverend) and Bruce Baker Besides Armitage on drums and vocals the other members of the band are vocalist/guitarist Al Tambay, vocalist/bass player Grant Tomkinson, saxophonist/singer Bruce Baker and Al Bragg on the keyboards. Bragg ‘The Reverend’ also provides additional vocal support. “All of these lads have been with me for more than 10 years, some for 13.

Gavan’s Hotel Owner Dispels Rumours Printed with permission from THE EQUITY Julielee Stitt , Equity Reporter, QUYON March 20, 2013

Just two weeks ago, Nick Matechuk opened the doors to Gavan’s Hotel to host one of the largest St. Patrick’s Day parties in Pontiac. Despite the popularity of the local watering hole, especially for celebrations pertaining to Irish heritage, there have been rumours swirling that the doors to the bar may soon be closing. According to Matechuk, as long as he’s the owner of the hotel, the doors will remain open. “Someone put a false thing on Facebook that I was supposed to close right after St. Patti’s,” says Matechuk. “This is four times since September that somebody has put something on Facebook that’s not true and I don’t know how to eliminate that,” says the hotel owner.

Matchechuk, who will celebrate his 30th anniversary as the owner of the bar on May 3, has had the business up for sale for approximately five years, but he says he hasn’t considered closing. “Everyone knows the place is for sale … but we’ll never close because you never do that with a business or you’ll never sell it,” he says. Due to the number of patrons who visit the bar from Ontario, Matechuk says rumours like the one that has been circulating on Facebook could seriously hurt Gavan’s Hotel. “The next thing you know people won’t be showing up,” he says. Matechuk calls Gavan’s a “gathering centre for the Pontiac.”

EMC entertainment - Mick Armitage loves spending his nights and weekends playing music and entertaining people. With more than 1,000 shows already under his belt, the affable drummer and vocalist has no intention of quitting the music business. “I tell the guys (band members) that we will keep playing until they (public) stop calling,” Armitage chuckles. “When I hear the cheering and shouting and watch the people dancing, it is all worth it.” The Mick Armitage Band, who will headline the ‘Spring Fling’ fundraiser for the Make a Wish Eastern Ontario branch this Saturday (April 13) in Carp, was launched in 1997. Armitage’s band days date back to 1983 when he helped form the Arnprior-based group ‘Racoons on Ice’. They played together for 14 years, performing across Eastern Ontario and West Quebec. It is with the group that bears his name that Armitage has found his greatest success however! The Mick Armitage Band has performed nationally and internationally. “We’ve played on both coasts, we’ve performed in Mexico six times and in 2006 we did a tour of Ireland,” he outlines. The band has been off the bar and night club circuit for years. “We book mainly with private clients and organizations. We play at fundraisers, like the one at Irish Hills Golf Club this Saturday and we do shows of every kind including fairs, festivals and private parties,” Armitage explains. “Our business is almost all referrals – word of mouth. “I’ve definitely been around a long time. I know that because I am now playing at the weddings of the kids of the same people I played for (wedding parties) over 20 years ago.” He jokes that the band is “mainly a warm weather act. “We don’t do many shows in the winter. Right now we are doing about 25 shows in nine months. That works out to about 2.8 a month,” he laughs. He credits his four fellow band members with the group’s success. “I’m the weak link musically. They are the best players. We know over 500 songs, 90 per cent of which is classic rock. We’re a ‘Boomers’ band now.”

lives in West Carleton. Armitage Jr. is a full-time civilian employee of the Department of National Defence who resides in Ottawa. The Mick Armitage Band has another very busy year ahead. Saturday at 8 p.m. in Carp they will join Gail Gavan, Louis Schryer and Adrienne Taylor at the Make a Wish Eastern Ontario fundraiser at Irish Hills Golf Club, 3248 Carp Road. Popular Ottawa DJ Mark Papousek from Y101 will be the emcee. The event is sponsored by Wanda Clark, broker, Kelly Williams VIP Realty. Saturday, April 27 at 1 p.m. the band performs at the annual Festival of the Maples in Perth. Sunday, July 14 they make a return engagement to the annual Merrickville Car Show. Thursday, Aug. 22 from 6-8:30 p.m. the Mick Armitage Band appears as part of the City of Ottawa’s summer ‘Concerts in the Park Series’ at Village Square Park in Stittsville. Sept. 1 from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. the band returns to the Shawville Fair for a 15th consecutive year. The group leader says he looks forward to many more years of musical success. “We already have four shows booked for 2014.” Asked for the secret to their success Armitage responds, “As Hans Christian Andersen (Danish author and poet) once said. ‘Where words fail, music speaks.’” For complete information on the Mick Armitage Band and their schedule. visit the website: www.mickarmitageband.com.

“If someone is going to go out with their sweetheart then they usually end up here,” says the hotel owner.

February and March were good to entertainer Sarah Slean during her cross-Canada Sea Tour, and she’s looking for more of the same in Burnstown this weekend. The Pickering, Ont., pianist, singer and songwriter performs, along with a string quartet, at the village’s Neat Café this Saturday, April 13, the night after she performs in Mississauga. During the tour, she has, or will have, visited more than 20 communities, including Hamilton, Regina, London, Fredericton and Stouffville. So why Burnstown? “Because the spirit of the Neat Café is incredibly inspiring to me,” she told The Chronicle-Guide in email correspondence. “The owners are avid do-it-yourselfers with a conscience and a deep love of music, the environment and their community. “They built a sustainable house on their own, they built a sustainable business on their own based on justice, self-sufficiency, green principles and giving back -– it is an absolute honour to be a part of their energy!” added Slean, who has

Sarah Slean been nominated for three Juno and two Gemini awards during her 15-year career. “And the people that come to their café and to these shows are a huge part of that. When performing on that humble stage, it is impossible not to feel the audience’s joy at just being together and sharing these values. That’s something really pronounced in rural communities – and I love it.” Neat Café is pleased to have Slean back, noting on its website: “Two Christmases ago Sarah Slean did no less than stun an entire audience for an entire evening.” Those in Burnstown will

hear the string quartet, which creates wonderful possibilities, says Slean. “I’m finding that I’m having some realizations as my thirties progress, namely that making music with other people is a huge part of its power and magic. “I am buoyed and inspired and encouraged and challenged by the musicians I’ve had the pleasure of working with over the years. At the risk of sounding melodramatic, I’d say that this is a spiritual lesson in disguise.” It helps fellow musicians are also friends, she says. “To have friends up there, to have their shared mastery moving along with you, creating sound, it makes the music better. And that makes the experience better for the audience, and I want them to leave feeling full, uplifted, revitalized.” Slean will bring to the stage songs that feature string arrangements from previous albums and songs from her eighth and most recent album, Land & Sea. Visit www.neatfood.com for $50 tickets to the 8 p.m. performance. Montreal rock band, The Damn Truth, performs at the Neat Café on Wednesday, April 17.

Arnprior singer to play in Burnstown Friday EMC entertainment – Arnprior’s Craig Cardiff once gave a TEDx presentation about being open and owning your passion, about choosing to leave the room in which fear lives and choosing to be happy. And it’s a theme the entertainer who will play at Burnstown’s Neat Café this Friday, April 12, keeps coming back to time and time again. “This idea of owning your passion, I need to think of it as being open, generally open and passionate,” he said. “It’s about understanding what stops us and prevents us from being open.” Being more open is also an idea Cardiff brings to his shows. He passes around a blank notebook he calls the Book of Truths and asks audience members to share something truthful inside – a story, an idea, a message or a confession. It’s his way of connecting with people he may only get a few seconds to exchange small talk with after a show, and it’s been a source of inspiration for a number of years. Ottawa Valley music fans will have a chance to be inspired by the Book of Truths and contribute their own ideas when Cardiff plays Neat Cafe at 8 p.m. this Friday. Cardiff comes to Burnstown after receiving some big accolades in 2012. He was nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award as 2012 Contemporary Singer of the Year for his latest release, Floods and Fires, an album that was also recognized with a Juno Award nomination as Roots and Traditional Album of the Year: Solo.
