An almost audible collective sigh of relief was released last Friday when Robert Reid agreed to take over the Arnprior Golf Club. Reid, former owner of an Arnprior automobile dealership and one of the town’s sharpest business minds, stepped up to save the historic club from possible bankruptcy. The existing debt is considerable, membership is in decline, the clubhouse is showing its age, and the industry is at a standstill. But the feeling among many golfers in the area is that if anyone can chip the place out of the rough, it is Reid. “I think he’ll be very successful,� club president Joe Ferrari said. “Put it this way: he’s not the type to lose.� Still, total debt is somewhere near $700,000. Membership is at 225, almost half what it was 15 years ago. The number of golf courses in the region has skyrocketed, even as interest has levelled off. But Reid, as a private owner, will have a significant advantage over the member-owned club when he takes over on May 1. He won’t require consensus from a board of directors before making decisions. “Too many chiefs and not enough Indians: that’s been an aspect,� Ferrari said. “Look, we’re all volunteers, but everyone has an opinion and a vote is a vote.� There was little disagreement when the board laid out options for the members at an April 7 meeting. At that time creditors were mounting pressure and as many as

Ten individuals and businesses were recognized for their service to the community at the annual awards gala hosted by the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce (GACC) April 9 at the Nick Smith Centre. The chamber gave out six of the

However, Reid is clear that the course will see significant changes beginning with the name. It will be called the Sand Point Golf Course. And it will be a family business that is welcoming of the public. The perception that the 91-year-old course is for members only should decline. The customers Reid wants to attract are not just golfers. He is going after restaurant patrons as well. The upstairs banquet room with its panoramic view of the Ottawa River will be updated and sectioned off.

three businessmen showed an interest including Braeside’s Sean Black, who has done well for himself with restaurant franchises. Members – called debenture holders – voted 142-3 in favour of selling. They voted unanimously in favour of selling to Reid even with no other official offers on the table. “He presented a good business plan,� said Ferrari, who owns the Dairy Queen on Madawaska Boulevard. “He isn’t going to turn it into another (residential) development. That was the rumour. That’s not his vision. It’s been very positive.� Reid even offered five-year discounts to the debenture holders, and is honouring prepaid memberships and booked events.

In presenting the award, Mayor Tom Peckett said noted that Naismith not only has spent her life teaching but “doing what she loved best, farming.� Peckett said that he really admires Naismith’s straight-forward approach. “If she wants to tell you something,� she tell you straight,� he said. He said that the family moved to Campbell Drive in 1978. Marilyn along with her husband, Jim, farmed 400 acres of land owned by them and 600 acres of rented land. Over the years Jim served as a fence viewer and livestock valuer with the township and served on the Waba Cottage Gardens Millennium Committee. Marilyn was a leader in the 4-H Club for five years. After Jim’s death, she continues to operates the family farm with her daughters Laura and Katie. A herd of 50 registered Herefords and Simmentals are their prides and joy.

In response to the award, Marilyn said it was “much appreciated� and “very humbling.� “I’m being rewarded for what I love to do,� she added. “It’s been a great ride.�
She said that when her husband died she was fortunate to have family and wonderful neighbours such as John Carmichael for support to help her get through the bad times. As for her cattle, “it’s like having an antidepressant, but not in the bottle, but in the
farmyard,� she said. Among those attending the awards ceremony with her was her daughter Laura, son Matthew and daughter-in-law Krista, nephew Shawn, and grandchildren Katie, Connor and Emily.

Mel Porter: Arnprior Volunteer of the Year John Carter
John.carter@metroland.com
Arnprior’s latest volunteer of the year is a familiar face around town. Reeve Walter Stack, as acting mayor, present the town’s Volunteer of the Year award for 2015 to Mel Porter. Stack told the crowd at the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce’s awards gala at the Nick Smith Centre that since his retirement Porter has dedicated much of his time volunteering in many area of the community. While Porter, who has lived in Arnprior for the past 20 years, is probably best known for his work with the Arnprior Legion, he has also volunteered for several other community charities and campaigns. Stack noted that the following are just a few of his volunteer commitments: • Derek Reid Ride for Loonies for Lungs Program; • MS Bike Ride Campaign – he has raised over $79,000 for the MS Society along with his partner Carney Downs; • Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO); • Arnprior and District Food Bank; • Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home Program; • Renfrew County United Way.

Council approves road projects on both sides of river Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
The regular meeting of Arnprior council of April 13 included recommendations on who will be doing some major
roadwork in town this year. The work was already approved and funded in the 2015 capital budget. There were six bids on tenders put out for the Second Avenue and Bridge Street work, which
council awarded to Thomas Cavanagh Construction. Thomas Cavanagh offered the low bid of $725,524, almost $70,000 below the nearest bid. The bids ranged up to $943,739.
The company is expected to conduct their work including full road reconstruction, narrowing of the road cross section, removal of south sidewalk, replacement of north sidewalk and sanitary sewer spot repairs.
Reids to open new restaurant at golf course Continued from front
Yes – he feared a lot of folks would suffer if the place shut down, employees and debenture holders alike. But it was less altruism than affection and willingness to take on a new challenge. “I didn’t want to see it close, like a lot of people. My mom and dad were involved; my brother. My first paid job was as a caddie there,” said Reid, a 55-year member. “We’ve been involved up there. And I was looking for something to do, a business opportunity. Now that our daughter’s home we’ve been looking around for a restaurant when this fell on our lap. “It’s been fast and furious.”
locate the money into other works – on Carss, Elizabeth and Isabella streets, along with patch and repair efforts for sidewalks. Council approved the additional work. Approving the bid for the McGonigal project is tangible evidence the downtown revitalization initiative is underway. A meeting to obtain input from downtown propertyowners and town residents is being held this evening (Thursday). Everyone is welcome at 6 p.m. in the Arnprior library to view the plans, ask questions and offer comments. The final plan to give downtown Arnprior a new look should be complete by the end of the year. With files from John Carter

Daughter Cari, a trained chef with experience at the Royal York Fairmount in Toronto and elsewhere, will control the kitchen. Reid isn’t pitching a three-star Michelin, but it will be “a place you can get a good bottle of wine and nice food.” The expectation is that the Riverview Restaurant and Lounge will be open spring, summer and fall beginning in 2016. The main floor clubhouse will serve food to golfers and handle the day-to-day operations. He will emphasize customer service, saying his family hasn’t been in business
for 60 years by arguing with people. Golf will continue to be an integral part of the business. Reid made sure the universally respected groundskeeper Steve Williams is on board, along with the popular club pro. Reid said the course last year was in better shape than 95 per cent of the competition, and he plans to keep it that way. The central question, though, is why get into the golf business. Reid doesn’t need the money. He doesn’t have experience in the industry. He doesn’t need to shore up his standing in the community. According to Flagstick.com, the business was recently appraised at $1.2 million.
The McGonigal Street project was deemed a separate tender and four companies put in bids. Primrose Cartage and Excavating, the low bidder, was awarded the work by council. Primrose’s low bid was $378,476 with Thomas Cavanagh Construction second lowest at $402,025. The other bids were substantially higher, in the $500,000 range. The McGonigal work between John Street north and Daniel Street North will see full road reconstruction and full curbs, sidewalks, watermain and sanitary sewer replacement. There is also storm sewer construction included in the project. Both winning bids were under budget, resulting in leftover funds. The staff recommendation was to al-

Congratulations to both the givers and receivers
I
t was heart-warning to see the some of the best the areaĘźs most deserving put in the spotlight last week at the annual Greater Arnprior Chamber of CommerceĘźs awards gala. ItĘźs always gratifying to see unsung heroes shown appreciation for their contributions toward making our communities a better place to live. Certainly there are winners with a high proďŹ le, but others purposely toil away behind the scenes and rarely get the credit they deserve. ThatĘźs why the chamber and its municipal partners should be encouraged to keep sponsoring awards that have a wide scope so they can pull in winners who otherwise might not be recognized. Good on the chamber for revamping its awards last year, as it enabled a whole new group of achievers to be chosen. The awards should be reviewed every few years or so to make them as inclusive as possible. For donĘźt worry, chamber, there are no shortage of positive inďŹ&#x201A;uences in our community that deserve to be publicized. YouĘźll never run out of worthy candidates. As well as showering praise on those who deserve it, the awards also provide inspiration to others, at least those paying attention. We can learn valuable lessons from all of this yearĘźs winners. Arnprior Volunteer of the Year Mel Porter shows that you donĘźt need to have deep roots in a community to be involved. While he has been around for at least 20 years, heĘźs a relative newby compared to some oldtimers. But when his list of volunteer service is read, youĘźd think heĘźd been in Arnprior forever. Cheers to Mel for embracing and serving his community long after he retired. Now, some might say that itĘźs the newcomers who are the most faithful volunteers as the long-timers tend take their area for granted. But the ďŹ rst winner of the new McNab-Braeside MayorĘźs award, Jason Marshall, belies that theory. Mr. M-B recreation and emcee extraordinaire shows that love for and familiarity with your home area doesnĘźt mean you shouldnĘźt be out there pushing to make it better even if it means rocking the boat sometimes.

That also goes for the chamberĘźs Business Person of the Year, Lori Van Wyk. Another long-standing contributor to her community, she doesnĘźt rest on her laurels and proves that business excellence and volunteer service can go hand-in-hand. Young Entrepreneur award winner Chris McCluskey shows you can earn respect for your business decisions and community involvement at any age. Innovation award winner Braeside Home Furnishings illustrates the importance of that ďŹ rst impression. With downtown revitalization ďŹ nally on the front-burner, it will be role models like Cathy Brennan and daughter Amy Foley who will be leading the way. The chamberĘźs skilled trades award winner proves you donĘźt have to be loud and brash to earn an award. Scheel Windows was been a solid core business in Arnprior for 60 years and it was touching to see Bob Scheel and the gang recognized for their commitment to customer service and excellence in workmanship. Another winner working behind the scenes serving the community is Arnprior and Area Physician Recruitment Committee. ItĘźs not an easy task, but if it wasnĘźt for the efforts of the Chamber PresidentĘźs award winner Mark Nibourg and his group in guiding the efforts to attract two new doctors to the area, there would be many more people in dire straits. New business award winner Urban Sport proves there are opportunities in Arnprior if you approach the task at hand with gusto, business acumen and community involvement. The McNab-Braeside business award winner, Neat Cafe, showed you can take chances and succeed. Who thought a specialty coffee shop would survive in the meat-and-potatoes Upper Ottawa Valley and pull in so many talented musical acts to such a small venue. The townshipĘźs agricultural appreciation award winner offers a valuable lesson on how to overcome adversity with grace and fortitude. The importance of family and neighbours also shines through in the Marilyn Naismith story. So congratulations to all the winners and to the chamber, Town of Arnprior and Township of McNab-Braeside for giving credit where credit is due.

Drivers, look out for pedestrians To the editor, My name is Isabella Parlee. I am nine years old and on April 12, me and my sister were walking to the store to return something. We were crossing the crosswalk after me and my sister both look both ways twice. A blue van with a man in it who wasnĘźt pay-
ing attention came very close to hitting my leg. Me and my sister are very mad that there are such careless drivers in the world. I would like to remind drivers and pedestrians to be careful and look out for each other. Isabella Parlee Arnprior

Vimy Ridge battle during First World War has several Arnprior area connections scottcampbell@metroland.com
The days of April 9 through 12 may have gone unnoticed to some, but history considers that snapshot of time to be one of the most important ever for Canada. It’s been 98 years since the battle of Vimy Ridge in the First World War. The capture in 1917 of the ridge, unsuccessfully been assailed by soldiers from other allied countries, took the Canadians four days. It brought the country out of the shadow of Britain and inspired a great deal of national pride. But the victory came at a terrible cost with 10,000 killed and wounded. Highlighting those soldiers involved could fill the newspaper a few times over - the focus will be limited to a few locals who were directly involved. HERBERT MOREAU
Found through the Library and Archives Canada was the attestation paper of Herbert Moreau. He signed up to the Canadian Over-Seas Expeditionary Force on Sept. 20, 1915 in Smith Falls. He joined the 80 Battalion and had been born in Almonte, but the paper offers the impression the family eventually moved to Arnprior. He listed his father, Edward, as next-of-kin and living in town. Moreau also wrote he was a candy maker. Moreau survived the war until April 9, 1917 - the first day of battle at Vimy Ridge. He was only 23 years old at the time of his death. He has a marker at the Vimy Memorial in Pas de Calais, France. Arnprior has him listed as ‘Bert Moreau’ on the ceno-
taph in front of the hospital. Upon digging through the Arnprior and McNab-Braeside Archives with the help of archivist Laurie Dougherty, an undated newspaper clipping reports the Moreau family had a “remarkable military record.” The oldest Moreau son, Edward Ray (Jack) Moreau, survived the war and eventually settled in Belleville. A (Ted) Wilfred Moreau died in training in Kingston in 1915. Robert Moreau fought and was wounded at Vimy Ridge and eventually made it home. The injuries took a toll on Robert though and he died in June, 1919. Kenneth was the only one of the Moreau boys unable to join the army because of an illness. RAYMOND AFFLECK
Stretching into Glasglow Station and McNab-Braeside Township, a second name popped up with his attestation paper - Raymond Affleck. He was born on Feb. 26, 1895 and listed for his trade or calling, a schoolmaster. He graduated from Arnprior High School and wrote that his mother, Lillian, as his next-of-kin. He signed up for the Expeditionary Force in Montreal in October, 1915. Lance Corporal Affleck of the Canadian Machine Gun Corps died the same day as Herbert Moreau on April 9, 1917.

Diabetes, one of the most common condition in our current day and age, can often turn into a “silent killer” in advanced stages. During the initial stages we are having many uncomfortable symptoms associated with this condition which interfere in one way or another with our lives. However in advanced stages diabetes can contribute to prolonging our suffering and often healing journeys are incredibly challenged and can even be fatal. I personally observed my grandfather suffer for many years from the ill effects of diabetes, where a wound wasn’t healing, which led to the amputation of a toe and later on even of his leg. Finally, as we see all too often, I saw, what used to be a strong vibrant man, my grandfather giving up and suffering to his final days. That was unfortunately well before I knew about Heilkunst.

Canada remembers Battle of Vimy Ridge Minister of Veterans Affairs Erin O’Toole issued the following statement on April 9 regarding the 98th anniversary of the Battle of Arras and the capture of Vimy Ridge. “Ninety-eight years ago on Easter Monday, April 9, the four divisions of the Canadian Corps fought side by side for the first time in the attack at Vimy Ridge.
“On that wind-swept ridge in Northern France in 1917, Canadian soldiers secured one of the most impressive victories of the First World War, helping earn our nation a place on the international stage. “But the price of victory was steep - close to 3,600 Canadians gave their lives in the name of freedom. “Today, the majestic Cana-

Our Heilkunst treatment will look at all facets of the diabetic condition, from prevention, hereditary challenges, life styles, nutritional habits to pain management. We will look at organ rejuvenation and will try to bring back a proper organ function of your pancreas. Our Live Blood Analysis will help assist any nutritional deficiencies, so you know where to put your money and efforts to rebuild your body, rather than shooting stars by taking a lot of supplements not knowing whether you actually need or benefit from them. I helped many people manage their diabetes to prevent any medication as well as bringing individuals off the needle to manage their diabetes just with medication. Can you imagine how grateful they are to have this new peace of mind? Can YOU imagine what kind of new freedom and peace it would be if YOU could also personally benefit from our treatment? Not even to mention how happy your spouses, children or loved ones would be to see you manage this condition in a new way. Take Control…Experience Heilkunst!

He added: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The support given to me by the recruitment team, and the clear need for new physicians in the community, were also key factors in my choosing to come to Arnprior.

The sleepers have awoken and a cacophony of Red-winged Blackbirds now greets the dawn. And in woodlands everywhere, Eastern Chipmunks can be seen scampering, their little tails raised like flags as they Michael Runtz bounce across the ground. Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Way Until recently, the last time we saw chipmunks was last fall. By mid-November most of these tiny squirrels vanish into underground dens, most equipped with numerous spacious chambers. Some of these are storehouses filled with acorns and other foods harvested in summer and fall. Others include a lavatory and a room for garbage disposal. One might think that chipmunks would hardly need a lavatory if they hibernate. Groundhogs hibernate and for most of the winter they do not defecate. Even Black Bears, which do not hiberEastern Chipmunks are now fully nate but enter a deep sleep from which active after intermittently sleeping they are easily awoken, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t foul their away winter in their underground dens with body wastes. But chipmunks behave differently. chambers.
With the warmth of spring finally (albeit, reluctantly) here, there has been a surge in animal activity. Flocks of Canada Geese are now noisily winging their way overhead,
During winter they sleep for up to a week at a time, then awaken for a few hours to grab a snack from their pantry, get rid of body wastes in their lavatory, and return to their bedroom to curl up into a ball and fall back to sleep. During their deep sleep â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is known as torpor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; their body temperature drops from about 100 degrees Fahrenheit to 42 degrees Fahrenheit, and their heart rate falls from the normal rate of 350 beats per minute to about 15 beats per minute. True hibernators have barely discernible heartbeats and a body temperature only a handful of degrees above freezing. Currently during the day chipmunks are busy aboveground looking for fresh food, but they will slip back into their hidden dens and enter a deep sleep if the weather turns cold. Another local mammal has also emerged from its winter den, but this one, unlike chipmunks, slept away much of the winter in a den above the ground, not below it. That animal is the Raccoon. Raccoons are also not true hibernators and their body temperature and heart rate do not change much when they go dormant. Their sleep is known as lethargy, and on warm winter

The author recently encountered this young Raccoon peering out of its den in an old American Beech tree. days, they sometimes leave their dens and go wandering in search of fresh food. Unlike chipmunks, Raccoons depend on hefty stores of fat, not stored food to get them through the winter, and those individuals that have insufficient stores are generally the ones that go wandering during warm spells. Raccoons often spend winter in family groups, huddling together to share body warmth. With some snow still covering the ground in the
woods, it is possible to find Raccoon dens by following their trail. Creatures of habit, Raccoons often walk the same path when emerging at dusk and returning near sunrise. With spring seeming to have decided to stay, Raccoons and Eastern Chipmunks are active and will remain so through summer. Be sure to enjoy them now, however. After all, November is really not that far away! The Nature Number is 613-3872503; email is mruntz@start.ca.

Some unexpected visitors
While taking a tour of some McNab-Braeside back roads recently, something caught the eye of Patrick McIntyre. It didn’t seem right for turkeys, blue herons or Canada geese, he said. Once he managed to get his camera out and take some photographs from a distance, he discovered they were Sand Hill Cranes. McIntyre noted he hasn’t seen Sand Hill Cranes around this area before and thought readers would be interested.
Help give Gillies Grove a spring cleaning this Saturday The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) is inviting the public to join it for the fourth annual work bee in the Gillies Grove Nature Reserve in Arnprior this Saturday April 18. The spring clean-up effort will run from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. The NCC reports it is making “excellent progress” removing Oregon-grape, a “nasty unwanted invasive plant” that calls the Grove home. The work bee will continue the attack on the invasive species. If enough people show up, “we’ll also clean up the Grove by picking up trash, ending the day with a nice stroll through the Grove,” says the
NCC invitation to the public to get involved. “Come armed with gardening gloves and pruners if you have them (if not we’ll have many on hand), a lunch and something to drink.” Light snacks and beverages will be provided. The event will happen rain or shine, promises the NCC. Participants are invited to meet at 9:30 a.m. at the Ottawa Street entrance to the Grove. “We’d love to see you there,” says the NCC. To register, or for further information, contact Brenda Van Sleeuwen at Brenda.vansleeuwen@natureconservancy.ca or by calling 613449-3132.
Be alert for rising waters: MNRF With the heavy rainfall late last week, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) is advising area residents that a watershed conditions statement regarding water safety is in effect. Local residents should keep a close watch on conditions, regularly check updated messages and stay away from fast-moving rivers and streams, says the MNRF. Residents who have a historic susceptibility to flooding should take appropriate precautions to protect their property, such as ensuring sump pumps are functioning and securing items that may float away as water levels rise, the bulletin advises. Although some of the snowpack has melted over the past few weeks, a significant amount of snow is still present. The water content in the snow varies across the district from below average to about average. Seasonal mild temperatures combined with
the forecasted rainfall will continue to melt snow and increase water levels and flow velocities in local rivers and streams. Smaller streams and creeks will respond quickly to the additional run-off, but larger water bodies, including the reservoir lakes, will take longer to react. Additional water accumulation in areas adjacent to watercourses, road ditches and areas with poor drainage may occur. With the combination of more rain and remaining ice cover on local lakes and rivers, there is the potential for ice jams to form and contribute to elevated water levels and flooding in some instances. MNRF is closely monitoring the weather and developing watershed conditions and promises further updates as appropriate. Environment Canada bulletins can be found at http://weather. gc.ca and the Surface Water Monitoring Centre public webpage is http://www.ontario.ca/flooding.

Scheel Windows was recognized for the more than 60 years of work in the Ottawa Valley. The business was awarded the Skilled Traded Business Award from the Chamber of Commerce. Accepting from chamber director Pamela Cox is Bob Scheel.
The Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce’s Business Person of the Year is a woman well-known both in the business world and the community in Arnprior, especially for her dedicated service to Arnprior District Memorial Hospital. “Lori Van Wyk has demonstrated excellence in business operations including financial management, environmental practices, viewed as a business leader, customer service, sales and marketing and has a strong track record of community involvement and support,” said Chamber director George Walinga in announcing the award. “For the 20 years Lori has been the face of Rona, Lori’s involvement encompasses every aspect of the business,” he said. “With the passing of Mr. Sullivan, Lori spent a great deal of time learning the construction side of the business,” he added. He pointed out that she was raised with a strong belief in supporting the town and continues to do so.

Partnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Caring for the past three years and on the board for the last five. Lori is also the chair of the fundraising committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lori has always been a huge supporter of town endeavours and has participated on various committees including Priorpalooza, revitalization of the downtown and has recently been asked to join the advi-
sory committee.â&#x20AC;? Not only has Lori become the face of Rona and Sullivanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s she is a proud mother of three boys, so successfully balances business, community service and parenting, noted Walinga. As Van Wyk was away, M. Sullivan and Son president Bob Wall accepted the award on her behalf.

Chris McCluskey named chamberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Young Entrepreneur John Carter
John.carter@metroland.com
A main cog in the Tim Hortons McCluskey family, son Chris is this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winner of the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Young Entrepreneur award, given to a business achiever under 30. In presenting the award at the GACC gala April 9, Gib McMullen said McCluskey is passionate about hospitality. As â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Chief Experience Officerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of The McCluskey Group, Chris and his team strive to deliver an â&#x20AC;&#x153;amazing experienceâ&#x20AC;? for thousands of guests each day at the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s six Tim Hortons locations in Arnprior and Ottawa,â&#x20AC;? he said. In addition to the McCluskey Group, Chris is also the founder of Symphony Property Group, a boutique property investment firm with holdings in Arnprior and Ottawa, McMullen pointed out. Growing up in Arnprior, Chris has endeavoured to remain true to the original small-town values of family, community service and hard work taught by his parents, said McMullen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the core of these values is giving back and, through Tim Hortons,
theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done their best to help as many as possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played a big role in sports for kids in the community, sponsoring Timbits Hockey, Timbits golf, Timbits lacrosse, Timbits soocer, Timbits curling, Timbits baseball and figure skating. Chances are, if a child played sports in Arnprior in the last 18 years, it was in a league sponsored by Tim Hortons.â&#x20AC;? In addition, they also host a few weeks of free skating at the Nick Smith Centre every year and free family swims at the pool in the summer, said McMullen. They also support higher education by awarding scholarships each year to local employees and have been donating food daily to the food bank for almost two decades. Through the Smile Cookie Campaign, they have donated over $35,000 since 2009 to the Arnprior Hospital and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also partnered with franchisees in Ottawa to put over 20,000 new snowsuits on children in Ottawa who need warm clothes for winter. In 2014, they raised over $30,000 at their six locations for the Tim Hortons Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chris is very grateful to be a part for the Arnprior community and

Peter McClusky, right, thanks the chamber for awarding his son, Chris, the Young Entrepreneur award as Chrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Bonnie; brother Ian; and presenter Gib McMullen look on the the awards gala. thankful for the support, encouragement and friendship that he has received from many of you over the years,â&#x20AC;? said McMullen. Chris is a graduate of the University of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bachelor of Commerce and Masters of Science pro-
grams. He is a community ambassador for the Tim Hortons Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foundation and serves on the boards of Arnprior Regional Health Partners in Caring Foundation and Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Arche Arnprior. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not pouring coffee,
youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably find Chris searching for his golf ball in the woods, driving a bit too fast on the snowmobile trails around Arnprior or trying to look dangerous while standing beside his motorcycle,â&#x20AC;? quipped McMullen. With files from Scott Campbell

Braeside Home Furnishings was presented with the innovation award for their work in the area. Accepting the award from Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce director Pamela Cox, left, are Cathy Brennan and her daughter Amy Foley.
Store’s ‘innovation’ rewarded Braeside Home Furnishing’s remarkable work on the facade of its second store has earned it the Greater Chamber of Commerce’s Innovation award. The long-time Braeside store has opened up a new location on John Street in downtown Arnpior. The
innovative work by owner Cathy Brennan and her daughter Amy Foley caught the judge’s eye. “They’are are obviously visually creative,” noted presenter Pamela Cox. “It’s a highly visible story ... and an amazing place,” she added.
Members of the Urban Sport ‘team’ take to the stage to thank the chamber for the New Business award. From left are Wayne Allen, Shane Zimmerling, Erin Hicke, Colleen Whitman and Urban Donlevy.
Urban Sport named top new business Staff
It’s been a whirlwind of activity for Urban Donlevy since he moved back to the area from Saskatoon in 2013. The businessman who took over the Ford dealership in Arnprior has received the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce’s New Business award for branching out and turning Arnprior Sportland and Marine into Urban Sport. In making the presentation at the awards gala April 9, chamber director Mark Nibourg noted that although it is
Donlevy’s first venture into the sports and leisure sector, his 32 years of experience in the car business allowed him to see an opportunity to offer products and services that were missing from the Ottawa Valley market. “Urban’s business philosophy is to employ people that work with him and not for him, ensuring that his employees have pride and ownership in their work and do a great job caring for their customers,” he said.

The news that Leo was born with multiple heart problems was devastating but the skilled professionals at CHEO were able to fix each one. Fixing Leo’s heart defects required a seven hour open heart surgery, a stay in CHEO’s neonatal intensive care unit, a stay in the pediatric intensive care unit post operatively, many sleepless nights for mom and dad and a difficult struggle by an amazing little boy. Today Leo is a happy and active three-year-old. It’s thanks to CHEO’s doctors and surgeons and the vital pieces of equipment needed to support his little body during surgery and recovery that Leo is now living a healthy life.

Old-fashioned service ‘keeps customers loyal’
SCOTT CAMPBELL/METROLAND
The Neat Cafe in Burnstown receives the McNabBraeside Business Appreciation award at the Greater Arnprior Chamber of Commerce’s awards gala. Coun. Heather Lang accepts the award for owner Adam McKinty, who was busy setting up for yet another concert. Township mayor Tom Peckett made the presentation. He noted the coffee shop was once an old school house and is now a gathering place for good food, good coffee and music. The business is run on three core beliefs - community, craft and fresh,” he said. “Community: They hire local, they buy local (when permitted) they enjoy knowing their customers by name and caring about them the way neighbour’s should: Craft: Everything that is sold is prepared wiht care ... they believe there is elegance to a solution that is well made without undue impact to environment, societies or workers; and Fresh: Although living in a climate like ours makes it difficult for fresh ingredients, they still try.”
Continued from Page 18
The success of this philosophy is clear in the glowing testimonials of Urban Sports sales and service. The model of providing experience, fair prices and a friendly atmosphere are just a few examples of why Urban Sport is the recipient of this year’s award.” In accepting the award, Donlevy was accompanied on stage by four of his Urban Sport employees: salesman Wayne Allen, customer experience manager Erin Hicke, accounting’s Colleen Whitman and Shane Zimmerling from parts and service. “It’s our team (that makes us successful),” said Donlevy. “We’re just lucky.” Allen noted that the company stresses giving “oldfashioned service to customers to keep them loyal.” After all, it the customers “that keep us going … so we thank them,” he added.

A property owner who in the past found himself on the losing end of numerous battles with neighbours and the municipality is at the centre of yet another. Terry Thompson attended the April 7 McNab-Braeside council meeting where he was surrounded by a number of Mill Ridge Road residents. Most have properties backing onto the Madawaska River. His is across the road and contains farmable, forested and open space. There is an access point across his front yard. But Thompson wants a second access point, one closer to the cul-de-sac past the location of many homes. He asked the township weeks ago to permit access on its property via the unopened road allowance “for the purpose of relocating large farm machinery,” according to a notice by chief administrative officer Lindsey Parkes. At least five neighbours penned letters to the township in opposition; some highly detailed. Most argue that letting heavy machinery drive down the quiet road – in front of their homes - will prove disruptive and a safety hazard. “The movement of large industrial equipment on a pedestrian used residential road is, to my mind, unwarranted and potentially dangerous,” wrote Edward Gardiner. “At all times of the day there are people walking, exercising, and biking on the road. The road is also used
by numerous small children for play and bike riding.” He added that the road is narrow and winding with, in some spots, poor forward visibility. Noise will also be an issue should farm machinery be allowed. Thompson maintains that the gate erected at the second road allowance was “illegal the first time.” He didn’t say why he believes that to be true. Responding to a question from Mayor Tom Peckett, he said hay is combined on his land by a contracted farmer. He doesn’t want the machinery passing across his front yard. A letter from Mike and Penny Foster reminded council that a similar request was denied in 2003. The issue arose again in 2012, a busy year for Thompson, they noted. That year he faced legal action to have derelict vehicles removed. His motocross park was rejected because of improper zoning, council was told. He didn’t pursue re-zoning. He was also denied access township property for a monster truck ride party. Whether neighbours believe farming is a smokescreen for easier access to events such as motocross racing and monster truck demonstrations, with the accompanying camping and late night rollicking, is unclear. Deputy Mayor Brian Armsden called the issue “more complicated than what I thought.” Coun. Mark MacKenzie thanked residents for their letters with background information and opinions. Council will make a decision at a future meeting.

According to the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation, every two hours someone in our community is diagnosed with cancer. It could be someone you love or someone you know. It could even be you. Eat to Live or Live to Eat - Processed foods, sugar, high fat diets and a sedentary lifestyle have all been linked to cancer. Once a food is processed it lacks the necessary nutrients that Mother Nature gave it to help our bodies protect us from illness and disease. Garbage in Garbage Out - Processed foods (cookies, cakes, pastries, pies and especially fast foods) are high in chemicals and sugar, which has been known to shut down a healthy immune system for hours allowing the proliferation of illness and disease. High fat diets and a sedentary lifestyle have been known to contribute to cardiovascular disease, diabetes and some cancers. So what can we do to prevent the onset of illness and disease and/or minimize its effects? Nutrition – I cannot emphasize this enough! Food plays an integral role in helping us throughout the day. Food not only sustains us, it also helps repair damaged cells and fuels our bodies and our minds. Eating foods that are nutrient dense like cruciferous vegetables (green leafy veggies), veggies rich in colors like red (red pepper), orange (carrots) and all kinds of fruit (apples, oranges, bananas, mango), a plant-based protein, complex carbohydrates, healthy fats and plenty of water will not only help you maintain a healthy mind and body, it will help you fight illness and disease. Remove all caffeinated products (coffee, colas and energy drinks like Red Bull) from your diet. You can, however, consume no more the 2-3 cups of coffee per day, preferably naturally decaffeinated, and limit your consumption of dairy products such as milk and dairy. Please note that all animal-based proteins can cause and/or increase inflammation in the body. Exercise - A body in motion stays in motion: It is obvious that exercise
is healthy for us in so many ways. Exercise can reduce fatigue and improve your energy levels; improves heart health (some chemotherapy drugs and radiotherapy can cause heart problems later in life); helps manage stress, anxiety, mood and depression; helps you sleep better; builds muscle strength; relieves pain and improves range of movement; boosts your appetite; improves bone health; helps maintain a healthy weight; prevents constipation; and increases the production of T cells which can help fight illness and disease. Managing Your Stress Levels MAD or mild Adrenocortical Deficiency, commonly referred to as adrenal exhaustion, is usually precipitated by everyday stress (good or bad) causing the release of norepinephrine, epinephrine and cortisol, which are produced in the adrenal glands. During the fight-or-flight response, the glands release norepinephrine, epinephrine and cortisol. Short-term release of these hormones are harmless and can help save your life. Being in a constant state of stress can overload the adrenal glands causing a “burn-out” and the inability for the glands to help buffer from further stress. Sleep - Another major factor in the repair and maintenance of not only our minds but our bodies. Most of us require at least eight to 10 hours of quality sleep. That being said, going to bed at one in the morning and sleeping for eight to 10 hours is not quality sleep. Sleep should occur no later than 10 in the evening. The bedroom itself should be comfortable, not too hot, not too cold, and there should be minimal distraction from sound and light. This type of sleep is both restorative and reparative to the human mind and body and necessary in the fight against illness and disease. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is up to you. Reach out and embrace it. Life is not a dress rehearsal. You do not get a second chance. Ian Harris of Arnprior is a registered nutritional therapist, certified food psychology coach, certified wellness coach and personal chef.

Along with the on-ice accomplishments of this yearʼs players, the Arnprior Jr. B Packerʼs banquet was also a celebration of the clubʼs traditions and storied history. About a dozen large trophies shone at the front of the curling club hall on April 11. Many date back to the 1950s and contain the names of the best and brightest to play the game in Arnprior. Emcee Jason Marshall rhymed off numerous names for the crowd seated at round banquet tables. He talked of how folks in coffee shops reminisce about this or that player, how even those who donʼt go to the rink anymore still recall with great fondness the epic battles of days gone by.
“These banquets have been going on for a long time, which is why itʼs so important to keep the tradition going,” said Marshall, station manager at Heritage Radio. “Thereʼre a lot of guys on these trophies who went on to do great things, who had their numbers retired. Thatʼs a pretty important thing in a small town. It means a lot to people.” However, some traditions give way to modern improvements. Each player was thanked for their contribution this year, which saw the team eliminated from the playoffs when it lost a heartbreaking double-overtime game seven to the Stittsville Rams, and given their home sweaters. The team will unveil new sweaters with new logos next fall. Volunteers, management, coaching staff and even owner Marco Scapillati then got

‘One of my favourite’ teams, Griese says of 2014-2015 Packers Continued from Page 26
Presentations were made to the 21-year-old players, whose junior hockey careers are winding down. Griese, longtime coach, said he holds a “soft spot” in his heart for the veteran players. After praising each he asked that they encourage young players to give Arnprior a shot; that Arnprior treats hockey players right. “Four of my all-time favourites right there, folks,” Griese said of the players. Next up were the players, who thanked the owner, coaches and volunteers for all they have done. Applause was routinely directed at equipment manager Bruce Armsden, who has been with the team for 57 years. Trainers Jack Daley, Don Belton, and Jeff Scheivert were thanked for taking care of important details and being nearby when players needed them. Assistant coaches Ted Chaplin, Glenn Arthur, Barry Cape and Jason Kittner passed

It’s been over two months since the Stittsville Rams and the Arnprior Packers played their first playoff match-up in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League post-season. After a stretch of 23 games, the Rams season finally came to the end and the Casselman Vikings were bestowed with the EOJHL champion title for the second year in a row. The Rams series with the Packers lasted seven games. The Renfrew Timberwolves proved an easy sweep of four and the Gatineau Mustangs were a challenge before Stittsville triumphed in six games. Stittsville’s battle with the defending champions, the Vikings, came as no easy task, but the Rams managed to last another six games before being ousted. The Valley champs were able to keep the series tied through the first two bouts. After Casselman pulled ahead 3-1 in games, the Rams were able to stay alive with a 7-4 win in game five. But they couldn’t take the series to a game seven, as Casselman took the series
and the championship on April 12 with a dominating score of 8-1. The EOJHL season has now wrapped up. The question mark that continues to linger over the league is the plans to align the EOJHL teams with the Central Canadian Hockey League Tier 1 League, which is Junior A Hockey. The talk is still unofficial but would significantly change the EOJHL, which has been in existence since 1966. ACROSS THE RIVER

The team successfully passed through the first round of the playoffs, which had not happened since 2004.

Tied for top spot were Jess Daze and Brennan Ring skating to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Uptown Funkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and Sabrina Gill and Issac Perreault skating to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thinking Out Loudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The lively routines by the skaters were a big hit with a sizable crowd that attended the event on March 28.

The Arnprior Redmen topped the St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jaguars 6-2 in the championship game in a junior boys high school hockey tournament in Renfrew recently. In ADHSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earlier game with the Renfrew Collegiate Raiders, the action was often hectic around the RCI net guarded by Bryce Schaap. Raider defenders surround Arnpriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ben Begrand (23). The Bishop Smith Crusaders topped the Raiders to claim the B division while the Madawaska Valley District Wolves took the C title over the Opeongo Wildcats.

Arnprior player taken in first round of OHL draft Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
The Ontario Hockey League’s draft on the weekend has a local connection. An Arnprior player who was drafted in the first round. The junior hockey league teams made their priority choices on April l1. There were 15 rounds and 302 selections from 90 different teams across Ontario and even parts of the United States. The players drafted included 170 forwards, 104 defencemen, and 28 goaltenders. Out of all that number crunching, there was at least one player well-known in the Arnprior area. Liam Hawel, a student of Arnprior District High School, was given an early birthday gift. Hawel, who turns 16 on April 18, was selected 22nd overall in the first round to the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds. “(The selection) wasn’t
a surprise. Sault Ste. Marie was very interested in Liam,” said Hawel’s father, Andrew. Liam’s mother, Maureen, teaches at St. Joseph’s Catholic School in Arnprior. “It’s all great and exciting. Liam will be going up (to the Soo) in the next few weeks.” Andrew noted the roughly eight-hour drive from Arnprior to Sault Ste. Marie is far, but credited the storied history of the Greyhounds team, coach and players as a source of positives for Liam and his family. The most acclaimed past Greyhound would be the Great One himself – Wayne Gretzky put in playing time with the team. The Greyhounds head coach Sheldon Keefe was once an NHL player and past owner of the Pembroke Lumber Kings, so knows the Ottawa Valley well. Hawel has been playing this season with the Ottawa Valley Titans, who won the OEMHL Minor Midget AAA champi-
onship over the Ottawa 67’s in March. The centreman finished off the 2014-15 season with 18 goals and 31 assists for 49 points in 25 regular-season games and another five goals and nine assists in the playoffs. “He was tied for second overall in the league and tied for first during the playoffs,” said Andrew. It capped off three consecutive 40-plus point seasons for Hawel through the Ottawa Valley Minor Bantam to Minor Midget programs. “He’s now been practicing and travelling with the Pembroke Lumber Kings.” The Kings are embroiled in the Central Canada Hockey Junior A playoff final series with the Carleton Place Kings. Last year, Hawel was the first protection of the Lumber Kings. The scouting report by the Greyhounds, one of the OHL’s top teams this year, offered up
an analysis of their choice, “(Hawel) is a player with all kinds of upside and potential. He has good size and a very good skill set.” Hawel clocks in at 165 lb. and 6’3’’. “Whenever he has the puck on his stick, he is very dangerous and has the ability to change a game,” continued the report. “His posture allows him to be very good at all aspects of skating, speed, mobility, acceleration, laterally and agility. “He has great balance and is not easily moved off of the puck. He handles the puck well, has good vision and moves the puck with authority and accuracy.” The Greyhounds and the Erie Otters – the Otters featuring top NHL prospect Connor McDavid - are on a course for a match-up in the Western conference final in the OHL playoffs. According to Andrew, Hawel will likely be invited to

Professional rodeo to stampede into Arnprior in June Staff
The Arnprior Fair Board has yet to bring horse racing to the Fairgrounds (through no fault of its own), but it has achieved the next best thing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bringing a professional rodeo to town. The Arnprior Agricultural Society will make history on Saturday, June 13 and Sunday, June 14 as it plays host to nearly 300 professional cowboys and cowgirls from the International Professional Rodeo Association for the first time ever. Cowboys and cowgirls representing five different countries, including Canada, Mexico, the United States, Brazil and Australia, will be competing in the first professional rodeo of its kind to ever take place in Arnprior. The rodeo will be one of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official tour stops of the International Professional Rodeo Association (IPRA). Spectators will be in for an exciting rodeo weekend, which will include camping, concessions, vendors, live music, rides, beer gardens, and, of course, live professional rodeo events. It promises to be fun for all ages, say organizers. International Pro Rodeoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier contestants, including several world champions, promise to entertain as they will be matched up against some of the biggest and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rankestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; animals on the planet while competing in Bareback Bronc riding, Steer Wrestling, Roping, Barrel Racing and what some say is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most dangerous sport, Bull Riding. The show will also feature clowns, comedy routines and animal dress acts throughout the day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The initial support for this event has been
incredible,â&#x20AC;? said Glen Howard, director of the rodeo committee and Arnprior Agricultural Society representative. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since this is such a big event, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to ask our local businesses and regional sponsors to help support the event and we have been encouraged with the level of support and the interest that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve received thus far. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a fantastic event to have in our community,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe that both the entertainment value and economic impact of an event of this magnitude is something everyone should be excited about and nobody will want to miss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been meeting with our organizing committee within the Ag Society since last year to plan this event â&#x20AC;Ś the energy â&#x20AC;Ś is really building.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really excited to be able to partner with a strong character group like the Arnprior Agricultural Society and to bring the champions of professional rodeo here in June for one of the IPRAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initial tour stops.â&#x20AC;? said BJ Prince, president of Rawhide Rodeo. This event will not disappoint and will be talked about in Arnprior for the entire summer.â&#x20AC;? Tickets went on sale April 1. A limited number of advance tickets are available starting at $15 for adults and $10 for children. At the gate, the cost will be $20 for adults and $12 for children. For further information (including vendors and campers), contact Howard or Brian Majaury by email at ARNPRIORSTAMPEDE@ GMAIL.COM Also find them on www.facebook.com/arnpriorstampede or the web at www. arnpriorstampede.com.

Bronc busting and bull riding will be among the many rodeo events at the first ever Arnprior Rodeo June 13-14. The Arnprior Agricultural Society, which puts on the Arnprior Fair each August, is expanding its scope by bringing in the professional rodeo for two days of excitement. The international rodeo will feature cowboys and cowgirls from Mexico, Brazil and Australia, as well as the U.S. and Canada.

The Arnprior Community Choir and Kanata Choral Society will join forces for the first of two concerts Sunday, May 3 at 3 p.m. at Grace St. Andrew’s United Church in Arnprior. Tickets are available at the Arnprior Book Shop and at the door. LISA WEBBER/ SUBMITTED
Choirs to ‘get-together in song’ again to perform Vivaldi’s Gloria Arnprior is in for a rare musical treat this spring, because the joint choirs of the Arnprior Community Choir and the Kanata Choral Society are presenting Antonio Vivaldi’s Gloria, a joyful and uplifting classical work. Together over 80 singers, soloists, and guest instrumentalists will fill the church with classical choral singing and make the rafters ring. The Gloria, a jubilant hymn of praise and worship, is divided into 12 relatively brief movements contrasting in mood, musical texture, and vocal color. To round out the program, both choirs will present their own set
of pieces featuring the singers from each ensemble. Scott Auchinleck, music director of the Kanata Choral Society, will be conducting the large, combined work. Lisa Webber, music director of the Arnprior Community Choir, will be featured as a mezzo soprano soloist in Gloria. Along with Webber, local soprano and voice teacher Suzana McNeil will also be featured as a soloist throughout the concert. Oboe, violin, and piano accompaniment will round out the afternoon of singing. Collaborating with other choirs is a unique and inspiring venture.
When Kanata approached Arnprior about singing together this season, Webber jumped at the chance. Combining choristers, two conductors, accompanists, as well as performing in two communities, is very exciting. “Our choir is thriving,” she said. “We are very active and involved within our community. Going beyond our local area and singing with other choirs is a great opportunity. It gives us the chance to present larger works and more challenging repertoire,” said Webber. The Arnprior Community Choir is in its 24th season under Webber’s
direction. As well as the Arnprior choir, she is music director for Two Rivers Musical Productions, the Ottawa Valley Girls Choir, a ladies ensemble TUTTI, and teaches many students in her busy vocal studio. Webber is very proud and inspired by the members of the community choir. Over 50 members join together each Tuesday night to rehearse and make music. Throughout the year, the choir sings at nursing homes, various clubs/organizations, senior programs, and fundraising events. ‘Together in Song’ is one of two concerts that the
Arnprior choir presents each year. The Kanata Choral Society also has a long history within its community. During the last 27 years it has been a part of the cultural scene in the Kanata area. The 40+-member choir gives three major performances each year and has taken part in other community events. These include the Volunteer Recognition Award ceremonies, Unisong 2000, Carol Sing at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church to raise money for the Heron Emergency Food Centre (HEFC) and a benefit concert with two other choirs for the new Kanata Hospice.

For more than 40 years our community has benefited from the care and medical expertise at CHEO. While some of us have thankfully never had to use CHEO, others have for minor or sometimes more serious issues. The one commonality we all share is a great respect and appreciation for CHEO. We want it to be here for our kids, our kids’ kids and beyond that. That is what Forever CHEO is all about!

This is a major fundraiser for Hospice Renfrew and this year the goal is to raise $65,000. 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, including the Arnprior area, completely free of charge. Hospice Renfrew is working to ensure more Canadians, especially in Renfrew County, receive the end-oflife care they and their families need.

As the hospice’s first executive director she has had such a huge impact. “Hospice Renfrew is all about caring for our families.

A name well-known to Arnprior and area residents has been named to head up the area’s much-admired residential hospice. In a news release April 9, the Hospice Renfrew board announced that Maureen Sullivan-Bentz has replaced Diane Caughey as the facility’s new executive director effective April 7. Caughey is retiring from the position she has held since Hospice Renfrew opened in 2008/ She has been an “unstoppable force in moving from initial first steps in a brand new facility to the highly successful home-like hospice of today,” says the board in announcing her retirement.

Our family would like to thank a whole community for “taking care of us”. For as long as I can remember we have depended on a large network of individuals for their support, compassion, knowledge, and skills on a daily basis in our home to help with Mom’s many needs as well as our own. Mom’s passing has impacted all of us; she was very unique and special person and will be dearly missed. Thank you to friends and relatives for their prayers, expression of kind thoughts and gifts, well timed food deliveries, flowers, charitable donations, and for simply “being there”. Finally, to both Roger Young and André Pilon and his team for taking care of mom just as she requested. “Thank you and well done!”
Sincerely,

You met a lot of people, helped a lot of people and made a difference in many ways of your own. You are sadly missed and we are lucky to have your presence in all of us.

The aftermath of the commercial greenhouse fire in West Carleton revealed badly burnt pumps. The cause will remain unknown, and owner Neil Sparrows doesn’t plan to rebuild that portion of his business. DEREK DUNN/METROLAND
Spartan Gardens to close greenhouses following fire Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com
A popular place to buy plants in West Carleton will shut down following a fire on April 7. A greenhouse at Spartan Gardens, 3627 Upper Dwyer Hill Rd., caught fire at about 8 p.m. There were no injuries, but between $30,000 and $50,000 worth of damage was sustained. Owner Neil Sparrows said he was only gone for about 30 minutes beforehand. “When I came up it was definitely engrossed in flames,” said Sparrows, who has worked at the family business since he was in high school in the early 1990s. “There may be some homeless mice over there now.” Since he wonʼt go through insurance, the fire department isnʼt investigating the cause. Sparrows originally assumed the fire started with one of the furnaces. But the next day showed they were hardly touched by flames. The pump building, on the other hand, was razed. The fire was under control within the hour. Insurance companies wonʼt protect the plastic covering on greenhouses. And the rest of the equipment, while it seemed during the night of the fire to cost about $25,000, the next day worked out to as much as double that amount. Sparrows wonʼt rebuild, saying the nursery part of his business has been dwindling for
years now that box stores are into selling plants. It only represents about 15 per cent of his business. The rest, property maintenance and landscape construction, will continue. He has enough to get him through this year; and a few customers will get a call saying their plants are gone; but heʼs taking it all in stride. “Nobodyʼs hurt and thatʼs the big thing. Nobodyʼs is going to be out of a job,” Sparrows said. “The margins (of profit) are very small in that business. I keep saying we should stop doing it. But when youʼve done something for so many years: maybe this is the kick in the pants I needed.” A possible reason why he didnʼt stress too much over the fire, along with growing a little older and having a young family, is a prior experience with fire as a youngster. A neighbourʼs home went up in flames and his caught fire and sustained some damage. “When you see someoneʼs house with everything they own in it; and yours is right there: that was terrifying.” Sparrowsʼ father and cousin started the business in 1993. He helped out as a student. Then, in 2002, he took over the entire operation, bringing in the other two portions of the business. He likes to stay business, also farming 500 acres every year with his dad.
Valley Heritage Radiothon ready to roll Sunday Out & Abouts coming to Arnprior, Dunrobin For 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, Valley Heritage Radio is on the air. For seven of those days – beginning this Sunday, April 19 – there is more than great classic music flowing across the airwaves of the community-owned, not-for-profit station. There is also a clear message for members of the community that their help is needed and appreciated. “Community memberships and annual donations are crucial to keep Valley Heritage Radio on the air,” said station manager Jason Marshall. The fundraising membership drive begins Sunday and continues for a week. Volunteers and on-air personalities will be in communities across the Valley Monday through Friday, as part of the annual ʻOut & Aboutʼ visits. Theyʼll be bringing with them local musicians, to make it more of a party atmosphere. The Out & Abouts this year will include Dunrobin, Almonte, Pembroke, Cobden, Eganville, Arnprior, Griffith, Bryson and Shawville. DJs
will be announcing exact locations and times leading up to the event. “We love getting out to all areas in the Valley, and we know some people want to support Heritage 98-7, but canʼt physically make it out to the station,” said Marshall. “So weʼre delighted to come to them.” LOTS OF LIVE MUSIC
Also during Radiothon Week, there will be three nights of live music on the Thomas Cavanagh Stage at the station (3009 Burnstown Rd.). April 20 will be a live country show featuring Gord Barnes & Laredo, The McMunn Brothers, Brad Scott and Judi Moffatt April 22 will be Fiddle Night with Dennis Harrington bringing in a stage full of some of the Valleyʼs top fiddlers. Donʼt miss Friday, April 24 with Concession 23 and Maple Hill bringing you the best in Gospel Bluegrass music from the Valley. “The live shows at the station are free and we encourage everyone to come out and catch the fever of the
JASON MARSHALL
Dennis Harrington and some of the Valley’s top fiddlers will be front and centre at Fiddle Night during Valley Heritage Radio’s annual Radiothon next week. Radiothon live and in person,” said Marshall. The fundraising drive wraps up Sunday, April 26 with the annual Valley Round-Up Dance at the Renfrew Armouries. There will be five hours of live music guaranteed to keep everyoneʼs toes tapping, and a light lunch. Featured talent includes the Douglas Connection, The Countrymen, and Tony True and the Truetones “Itʼs a perfect way to wrap up an intense week of fundraising,” said
Marshall. “What better way to enjoy a spring Sunday afternoon than with great friends and great music.” Woven into the week of great music is a pledge drive where members of the community are encouraged to buy or renew memberships to the station, or make donations, said Marshall. “We are a non-profit station with more than a hundred volunteers and a handful of paid staff who work tirelessly to keep the station running day in and day out,” said Marshall. “Our

community membership sits at more than 1,800 members and without those supporters and their generosity, we wouldnʼt be able to stay on the air.” Each day throughout the Radiothon, listeners will hear the usual blend of music and the regular shows, but there will be daily messages encouraging the listeners to support the station in any way they can, said Marshall. “Even with all the volunteer support, itʼs still costly to run a radio station,” said Marshall. “Thatʼs why this Radiothon is so important. We want to be here for our listeners for a long time. “We only want to go to the public once a year and ask for their support. Your donations help us do what we do, because we do it for you.” New to Radiothon this year will be a Mega 50/50 draw. Ticket sales started April 12 and will end April 26 at the Round-Up Dance. The winner of 50 per cent of the proceeds will be announced live on Heritage 98.7 at 11 a.m. on Monday, April 27. For more information about the Radiothon, contact the station at 613-432-9873 or 888-532-9870 or visit it online at www.valleyheritageradio.ca.

Food bank volunteers help bring the community together
The valuable service provided to the community by the Arnprior and District Food bank is made possible by volunteers such as, from left, Paul Glynn, Regina Palmer, Don Palmer, Pat Tait, Sandy Wereley, Christine Juhasz, Pat Nicholson, Joanne Cheret, Roxy Gilmette, Allan Smith, Harold Neumann, Helen, Schefter, Jeff Kargus, Brad Janoska and Jonathan Scobie. Canada Volunteer Week runs April 12 to 18.

schools and churches have put on drives in support of the bank. Sandy Wereley, who has put in time at a soup kitchen when she lived in Moncton, New Brunswick, calls herself the newbie of the volunteer group, as she has only been involved for a year and a half. “It’s good to be able to give back,” said Wereley. “It’s pretty much the same as the soup kitchen … we were cooking and serving the meal, but here it is packaged and processed. The staff’s friendly and we chit-chat with the clients who are grateful.” Despite the tough times for many who are looking for relief, the goodness of the volunteers continues to shine through. “We need to share with everyone,” said Wereley. “We are all part of one community.”

Volunteers make an impact to the community and the area at large. If it weren’t for volunteers, many things the community takes for granted would be in jeopardy or non-existent. To recognize the benefits of volunteerism, this week (April 12-18) is National Volunteer Week throughout the country. The Arnprior District Food Bank in the basement of St. John Chrysostom Church is run by volunteers. It was a buzzing early on the morning of April 7. People were waiting in line, while many were filling carts, unloading items from a truck and stocking shelves. “We have about 25 volunteers,” said Pat Tait, who has been involved for the last two and half years at the food bank. “We are open every Monday of the month, except the first Monday. If there is a holiday, we are open on a Tuesday.” According to Tait, the food bank has a protocol that they have to follow. Everyone who walks through the doors has to already register to be eligible for the free donations. If there are two adults, there’s a list on what should be given to them. The same can be said for a couple with three children. The clients, as they are called, can only visit once a month, so there will always be different faces to be seen every week. It’s all about providing the staples - anything from coffee, meat, milk, eggs, cheese, pasta, can beans, vegetables, fruit, donuts and to hygiene products such as toilet paper. The food bank has a board of directors to deal with the donations and expenses. Harold Neumann, who is the purchasing agent, buys the supplies that Gerry O’Connor was unloading that particular morning from the truck. There were also lots of potatoes to find a place in the food bank. The unfortunate part is “the numbers (of clients) are not decreasing and much more (food) is needed,” said Tait, as there are also plenty of items they simply cannot give at times. “We wouldn’t be able to survive without the community.” For many years St. John Chrysostom Church has graciously donated the downstairs space, which has slowly become increasingly crowded with supplies. Many community members and organizations have donated food including the

The Arnprior Rotary Club continues to support the Arnprior Public Library with a donation to help with the moveable shelving project.

Golden Valley Seniors, Legion enjoy mutually beneficial partnership Janet Tobio
The Golden Valley Seniors is a social club that meet at the Arnprior Legion the fourth Wednesday of each month from September to June. In 1983 a group of senior members of the Branch 174 Arnprior Royal Canadian Legion organized a group to fulďŹ ll a need for this type of club.
In 1999 the organization became independent of the Legion, forming its own executive and rules and regulations. However, the Legion agreed to continue to support the club by offering accommodations for its meetings and social events. In return, the GVS club has been very active in helping the Legion over the years. The club makes an annual
donation and often organizes fund raisers, especially when emergency repairs and maintenance for the building are necessary. A group of card players in the Golden Valley Seniors organized several tournaments with the proďŹ ts going to the Legion towards repairs for the roof and the air conditioning.

Mother’s forgetfulness has entire family on the hunt for missing photos I could hear Mother rummaging around in the kitchen long before I came down for breakfast. It didnʼt sound like her usual early morning bustle. There were sounds of cupboard drawers opening and closing, dishes scraping on shelves, and I could have sworn I heard the old creton couch being pulled out from the wall. No, this wasnʼt the usual sounds of an early morning on the farm. When I came into the kitchen, Mother was just about as disheveled as I had ever seen her. She was half way into the baking cupboard, and some flour had fallen out of the big sifter onto her hair. She was beet red in the face and wore a look of frustration and defeat. “I could have sworn I put those pictures right there,” and she brought the flat of her hand down hard on the porcelain bake surface of the cupboard with a bang. “Someone has taken them, that is all there is to it. And before any of you go off to school, you are going to help me look for them. I have a letter ready to go to Aunt Freda in Chicago, and I want her to see our rhubarb and flower gardens from last year, and show her what I am about to plant this year. So last summer I
took some snaps, and those pictures are going into that letter, and thatʼs all there is to it.” She sure was agitated. We gobbled down our porridge and Mother dispatched each of us to a different room in the house for the search. We even looked under beds and between the feather tickings, and in the wood box, and in the pockets of the coats that were hanging on the hooks at the back door. Father came in from the barns to see all of us on our hands and knees looking under cupboards, chairs and sofas. “I suppose it would be too much for a man to expect to have his breakfast around here this morning. It looks to me like Mother has gone and lost something again.” Mother threw him a look like a dagger and moved the fry pan with the sliced potatoes and salt pork from the back of the stove up to the front lid, slamming it as she did so. “Very strange it is to me,” my mother said. “How those pictures can be here one day and gone the next.”
She was scraping the tea pot around on the stove. Father suggested she may have been mistaken about where she left the pictures, “Like the time you said you put your harmonica on the ice box, and MARY COOK we found it on the seat of the Model T,” he offered. “Those pictures were right there,” she said, and for emphasis she went over to the cupboard and gave the porcelain board another whack. Now, we had a long lane going into our farm from the Northcote side road and our mailbox was out on the road. Most days, Father drove out in the buggy to fetch the mail, but if he didnʼt manage to get out there, we children brought the mail home after school. We could always tell if there were letters in the box, because the mailman turned it towards the road. That night, the position of the box told us Father had been too busy that day to make it out the lane. Well, there was a letter from Aunt Freda. We handed the pack of mail in to Mother, who announced that she hadnʼt found the pictures and
Mary Cook’s Memories
she just knew someone had moved them from her place of safe-keeping. She sat down at the kitchen table and opened the letter from our Aunt in Chicago. We heard her cough a few times, which she always did when she was nervous. “Well, what do you know about that?” she said. “Aunt Freda is thanking me for the pictures I sent last week. Said she loved the one of you children standing beside the rhubarb patch, and helping me plant the petunias. And was looking forward to hearing about my spring planting coming up.” Mother said there was no need to bring up the missing and then suddenly found pictures to father. He had enough on his mind with trying to get the last of the seeding done and all. It wasnʼt to be the last time Mother would mislay something, and have the entire family go in all directions to search for it. I sat on a chair and pondered the situation. And I wondered silently how Mother, who was so organized could misplace so much so often, and how a letter would go all the way out to Chicago and an answer come back in less than a week. Yes, we were certainly living in a miracle age!
